legal cohabitation

Years are getting older, and the calendar is turning fast. Seeing that it is another year, tonight is New Year's Eve.

Probably because he lived with He Peng for a long time, Lu Qian also picked up some old habits. He took a marker pen and made a circle on the date grid of the calendar and drew a little heart.

There are a few crooked words written on the grid - the first anniversary of marriage.

"He Peng, your daughter's dance class ends at two o'clock in the afternoon, don't forget." Lu Qian picked up the coat on the hanger and put it on, and lowered his head to change his shoes.

Before the shoes were put on, he was dragged by someone's arms around his waist. He couldn't stand still for a while, and Lu Qian fell towards He Peng. Before he could utter a curse, he was pressed against the wall and gagged. .

"Why, this is, old couple's, what did you do to apologize to me?"

Regardless of his joke, He Peng rested his chin on Lu Qian's shoulder, tilted his head and bit the man's neck again.

"Do you know what day it is?"

"I know." Lu Qian patted him on the back, "Wedding anniversary."

"Then you still go out to work." He Peng muttered dissatisfied.

"Isn't this time already booked? I can't change it after all the tickets are sold out." Lu Qian raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "It's okay, the drama performance ends at [-]:[-] p.m., when you arrive at Yixi's Next, let's go out to eat together at night."

Yixi is a child adopted by Lu Qian and He Peng two years ago, and she is now 6 years old, a beautiful little girl.

However, the two got married a year ago, went abroad to get a marriage certificate, and officially put on that ring.

He Peng was even more dissatisfied: "We still take her with us on our wedding anniversary?"

"Then you left her at home alone?"

"I told my mother, and I will send it to my mother after class. Anyway, she was arguing to go to grandma's house a few days ago."

Lu Qian smiled and said, "How did you become a father?"

He Peng kissed his face again, and finally let go: "I will pick you up at four o'clock."

***

Lu Qian drove to the theater.

He walked into the backstage wearing a windbreaker. Several years have passed, and Lu Qian finally has signs of time on his body. He must have been through a lot.

"Brother Lu, here we come."

"The clothes for a while will be placed in the dressing room for you, and the fans outside are already waiting for you."

"Hey, I wish you a Happy New Year in advance, Lu Da."

In the past, Lu Qian was called "Brother Lu" and "Lu Da" simply because he was popular, but now it is really because of his strength, and he really shows his admiration for him from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Qian smiled and greeted them one by one.

***

It has been five years since Lu Qian graduated.

Three years ago, something happened that caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry——Lu Qian, a popular traffic force, turned out to be male.

Of course, that’s not what they said three years ago. At that time, all kinds of media and rumors were very ugly. Because of He Peng’s identity and Lu Qian’s unimpeded career in acting, almost everyone connected the relationship between the two. Those words that are not on the table, such as unspoken rules, such as sponsors, and so on.

At the same time, Lu Qian's various variety shows, interviews, and photos of passers-by in the past were dug up, and everyone took a magnifying glass to carefully ponder his every word and every action.

It is conceivable how powerful public opinion is.

No matter how successful Lu Qian is, the power of public opinion trying to overthrow him is so great. Everyone finally grabbed the top man's pigtails and worked together to drag him off the altar.

Everyone's chattering public opinion has become the most powerful "truth".

Fans who still supported Lu Qian were turned into brainless fans. Fans who succumbed to the power of public opinion dropped their fans one after another. It was even more terrifying to change from fans to trolls. They were full of blood and tears, as if they were the victims.

In fact, Lu Qian at that time had every reason to deal with it as a scene where two people who really loved each other were forced to have a bitter relationship for many years under various pressures before the rumors spread, but he didn't want to.

He didn't bother to do this, and neither did He Peng.

In the final analysis, Lu Qian was still angry. He didn't want to be forced to break up with He Peng when this happened last time, but this time it happened again, but he could only explain and clarify to the public in a weak position.

He doesn't want to.

He decided to be tougher this time.

Lu Qian didn't explain, he didn't bother to explain, he stood with a smile in the large-scale irony, unmoved.

The final decision to quit showbiz was made amidst a conflict.

Lu Qian's airport was surrounded by a group of people. They were fans of another actor, an actor who had conflicts with Lu Qian before.

They uttered harsh words like crazy, and the reporters in the airport were moved by the wind. More than a dozen cameras were aimed at him, like a black hole.

Lu Qian was pushed to the ground. He Peng pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Lu Qian. This was the first time he really appeared in front of the camera in this capacity.

He Peng helped him up and took Lu Qian's hand in front of the camera. He asked several times in a low voice to confirm that Lu Qian was fine, and then glanced at the logo on the camera carried by the paparazzi in front of him.

He frivolously hooked his fingers at one of them: "Don't you want to be a paparazzi, I want to see if you can find a job in the future."

He Peng looked at them with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes were like lightning, and after a while, Lu Qian pulled his hand behind him.

He Peng turned his head and gave him a puzzled look.

Lu Qian took his hand and stepped forward, throwing away his hat and mask. His face was pale, and he could even see the blood vessels under the skin when he looked closer. His eyes were blue, but he still had a dazzling appearance everywhere.

He walked around to a reporter and switched on the camera for him.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lu Qian." He said to the camera.

The surroundings instantly quieted down, and some people who were in a hurry stopped to look over.

Lu Qian has long been used to being the center of attention, and he is not afraid at all, and smiles as usual at the camera with a dignified righteousness.

However, the next sentence caused everyone to be in an uproar, and their voices fell silent——

"It happened suddenly today, but it also made me make up my mind. I, Lu Qian, will quit the entertainment industry from today on."

Even though he was so embarrassed, he still spoke softly and gracefully.

Rumors spread everywhere, sticks flew all over the place, but they failed to beat him to the ground, he just withdrew leisurely.

Speaking of this, Lu Qian paused, smiled freely, and bowed slightly to the camera.

"I didn't want to say it when the rumors first started because I knew you wouldn't believe what I was going to say, but now that I've decided to leave, I want to speak on this one last time."

Lu Qian looked at He Peng, and raised their interlocking hands towards the camera.

He smiled and said: "He Peng and I are not the kind of relationship you think that can't be put on the table. After leaving the entertainment industry, I can introduce it to anyone generously——He Peng, he is my boyfriend."

"The last is to tell my fans, thank you for supporting Lu Qian, thank you very much for your likes, if we meet again next time, we will no longer be idols and fans, but just friends." Lu Qian stretched out his hand and waved towards the camera, saying goodbye, "Everyone See you soon."

A quick "goodbye".

Lu Qian said goodbye to his enthusiasm.

At the end of the shot, He Peng held Lu Qian's face and kissed him on the lips.

Lu Qian closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, shaking off the tears that had been hidden in his eye sockets for a long time.

"Brother Lu, are you going to put on makeup now?"

The voice of the makeup artist interrupted Lu Qian's memory.

"Well, let's melt it." Lu Qian sat down in front of the dressing table.

"There are a lot of fans out there today. I heard that the tickets for the New Year's Eve show were all sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale. They all came to see you."

"It's just for the drama, why is it for me." Lu Qian smiled, closing his eyes and making people put on stage makeup.

Speaking of it, public opinion is really a very magical thing.

At the beginning, Lu Qian was scolded so badly, but when he really announced that he would quit the entertainment circle, the public opinion all turned around, and everyone shouted for Lu Qian not to quit the entertainment circle.

Lu Qian never responded.

During that time, he and He Peng went to Australia, where they finally didn't have to go in and out with full armor, and the open environment allowed them to hold hands and kiss on the road at will.

But Lu's father and Lu's mother found out about their son's sexual orientation along with the public, they didn't have time to object, they only felt distressed, and didn't say anything, they only said that they should be together well.

Subsequent films and TV series shot by Lu Qian were released one after another, and won various awards again, but no one came to accept the award, and Lu Qian really did not appear in front of the public.

Although he quit the entertainment circle, Lu Qian really likes acting.

They traveled abroad with He Peng for several months before returning to China. Lu Qian returned to the university and became a teacher of the acting department. Later, he opened this theater and performed in this small theater by himself.

"Lu Da, your phone is on," the photographer reminded.

Lu Qian opened his eyes, and it was a video application sent by He Peng.

He just went to pick up Yixi from her dance class. The kid was wearing a white fluffy tutu and smiled happily at the camera.

"Yixi, school is over!" Lu Qian smiled at his daughter.

"Yes, now my father took me to grandma's house, and my father said that today is your wedding anniversary."

"That's right, is there anything Yixi wants to eat, we'll bring it back for you?"

When they adopted the girl, they made it clear to her that this family is different from most families. She has two fathers, but they also love each other like other mothers and fathers. They just like most people. gender is different.

"Dessert!" The little girl shouted.

He Peng interjected from the side: "No desserts allowed, I just went to see tooth decay last week."

"Daddy..." The little girl pouted unhappily.

Lu Qian sang a white face: "Then Yixi, we will bring you a box of small cakes, you can't eat too much, and you can't eat it secretly at night."

He Peng took the mobile phone from his daughter: "Just let her get used to it."

Lu Qian looked at He Peng's face on the screen and laughed: "Fortunately, I haven't changed my teeth yet."

"Has the show started yet?" He Peng asked.

"Hurry up, change clothes in a while and go on stage."

"Come on baby."

Lu Qian hung up the video and the makeup artist beside him spoke: "Is that little girl your daughter just now? She's so cute!"

"Thank you." Lu Qian smiled.

***

Lu Qian has been out of the screen for three years, but he has never been forgotten. The TV series he acted in are often broadcast repeatedly on major channels, and many scripts will ask him if he has any intention of coming back. I left a message under the Weibo updated three years ago, hoping that he can come back.

He stands on the stage of the drama.

The lights went out, and the spotlight came back to the stage. He shone naturally on the stage, easily touching the hearts of countless fans off the stage.

The play ended and the curtain slowly lowered.

Lu Qian stood in the middle and bowed to the curtain call with other performers.

There was a tsunami-like sound and applause from below, and the ocean made of glow sticks was one tide after another.

On the last day of the year, the day before the new year, all the depression and knots in the past are facing resurgence and blossoming. Lu Qian looked at the stage with a smile.

He heard a voice.

"Lu Qian, come back."

At first, it was only the audience in one place shouting, but in the end the whole theater was shouting this sentence - "Lu Qian, come back!"

We were wrong.

What happened back then was that we were wrong.

Please come back now and bring us excellent works again.

Later, when the curtain fell slowly and was about to cover Lu Qian, all the fans stood up, and even many girls cried and called his name.

When the curtain came down at the end, almost everyone was crying.

The hurtful knives that were directly or indirectly spoken out of their mouths in the past cut Lu Qian's body one after another. Now they look at Lu Qian shining on the stage, neither humble nor overbearing, unyielding, standing upright, those knives So he turned around and cut out their hearts.

But Lu Qian didn't respond from beginning to end, so it was even more difficult for the girls to blame themselves and regret.

All love should be tolerated and blessed.

"Lu Da, what should we do?" Behind the curtain, the staff asked Lu Qian.

Lu Qian stood there silently.

He is lazy by nature, and he doesn't bother to remember grudges. In fact, the trauma of that year has almost been forgotten, but there will still be some traces in his heart.

He did think about coming back, eager to come back, he wanted to act.

Then his phone vibrated, and He Peng sent a message.

——I am in the audience, follow your heart.

***

"Hello, everyone." A voice came from the corner of the dark stage, and the spotlight was projected on Lu Qian belatedly.

Still wearing his costume, he walked calmly to the center of the stage and bowed.

"I'm Lu Qian." He said.

The cheers from below were like a tide, and his heart was washed away like a gust of wind.

"Thank you for coming to my stage play on New Year's Eve, and thank you very much just now, um, what everyone said, I said before that we will be friends when we meet again next time."

He paused, and changed his hand to hold the microphone. "I know everyone wants me to go back. I have read all your messages on my Weibo. Thank you very much for your likes."

He heard the shouts and tsunami in the audience, felt the sincerity, and suddenly thought of the process of growing the fan base from small to large when he first debuted.

Recalling earlier, earlier, on a very small stage, he was the host at the high school New Year's Eve party.

He Peng also looked at him from the audience like this, he couldn't find where He Peng was, but the thought of such a pair of eyes watching him from the audience made his heart warm.

At that time, the cold wind, the warm room, all kinds of secrets and temptations, longings and longings all seemed like yesterday.

Lu Qian cleared his throat.

"I will come back."

***

The winter night is lingering, and the night of the New Year's Eve is very lively. There are lively voices everywhere, and even the air is warmed. The treetops in the park are full of red lanterns.

After eating outside, He Peng drove Lu Qian to Waiman for a stroll. After driving for a while, he unknowingly drove the car to this newly developed park.

Nothing else, but there is a bridge of love in it.

A very old-fashioned link, lock a love lock on the bridge, and then throw the key into the river, even if it is the promise to torture each other, love and kill each other in this life.

"Go, let's go for a walk."

Lu Qian fastened his scarf again, opened the door and got out of the car.

He Peng glanced at him, pulled him into his arms, put his arms on his shoulders, lowered his head slightly and whispered in his ear: "Don't you need to wear a hat?"

Lu Qian understood what he meant.

After all, Lu Qian officially announced his comeback in the afternoon, which was different from before.

"No." Lu Qian raised his chin at him tremblingly.

So He Peng lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Strolling all the way to the Bridge of Love, the two of them have outstanding appearance and height, which is easy to attract attention. Soon someone discovered that this was actually Lu Qian who announced his comeback to the entertainment circle in the afternoon.

Weibo hot searches have already exploded because of this news, and the culprit is right in front of them, holding his boyfriend's hand, aboveboard.

Only then did they realize that the two of them were very suitable for standing together.

It's like a match made in heaven.

Soon there was a wall of people, but fortunately, they were still at a safe distance. Everyone took pictures of the two with their mobile phones, and excitedly posted on Moments and Weibo to show off that they had met this "fairy couple" .

"Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's pretty good, and you don't have to hide it from now on."

"Shall we put a lock on it too?"

The two of you whispered each other, and Lu Qian chuckled lightly: "He Peng, are you childish or not?"

He Peng squinted at him: "Will you go?"

"go with!"

(There is still content in the speech, remember to read it.)

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Lu Qian bought a blue lock and wrote each other's name with He Peng.

He and He Peng squatted down, and finally found an open space on the densely packed lock wall: "Will you hang it here?"

"Ah."

He Peng lowered his eyes and looked very serious. He pressed the lock with his fingertips, and the girl behind him kept screaming.

"Are you going to throw this?" He Peng opened his hand to Lu Qian and handed him the key.

Lu Qian smiled slightly and took the key.

He raised his hand high.

"Three, two, one."

The key draws a beautiful parabola in the dark night.

This river leads directly to the sea, and this lock cannot be opened again, nor can he and He Peng be separated again.

"I kind of want to kiss you now." He Peng whispered in Lu Qian's ear.

"Brother, bear with me, there are so many people, I still have to lose face." Lu Qian pinched him with a smile.

"I wanted to have a quiet time with you on our wedding anniversary, but it turned out to be a meeting."

Lu Qian put his hand into He Peng's pocket: "Then let's go home."

After walking a few steps, Lu Qian pulled He Peng back again. He Peng paused and turned around to ask him what was wrong.

Lu Qian: "Wait a minute, let's take a photo."

He randomly found a girl who was watching, and handed over his mobile phone: "Excuse me, can I trouble you to take a photo for us?"

The girl blushed and was so excited that she hurriedly agreed.

Lu Qian and He Peng turned their backs to the crowd, interlocked their fingers and held them high above their heads.

The river wind brushed their hair, and the street lamp was on alone, casting a small circle of light on top of their heads.

Time pauses, and the photo freezes at this scene.

**

They used to avoid crowds for fear of being photographed.

Now Lu Qian handed the phone to someone else and asked him to take a photo of himself and He Peng.

All love should be tolerated and blessed.

including their love.

***

In the middle of the night, the Weibo that had been silent for three years posted a new Weibo.

The accompanying picture is the group photo taken at night.

Text: I'm back.

--------

Because the previous part is the content of "Red Rose and the Gun", so I put some free words in the words~

As I said before, He Lu in Red Rose is the content of growing up. If it is written in detail, it is actually quite cruel, so it is sweet and sweet in the form of memories.

There should be a chapter or two to follow.
