Chapter 19
It was already afternoon when I got home.
Mother Lu didn't go out all this time, when she saw Lu Chen coming home, she immediately greeted him anxiously.
"Ah Chen, how is your date today?"
"It's not that good." Lu Chen made a helpless expression.
"You haven't taken a fancy to other girls?"
Lu Chen shook his head.
"That girl didn't like you?"
Lu Chen still shook his head.
Lu's mother was in a hurry: "Why are you like this, child, you are not sent to jail for asking you to go on a blind date, why are you so passively resisting!"
"Mom—" Lu Chen elongated his voice, and his expression was much more serious than usual, "I'm going to be 29 soon."
Lu's mother was taken aback by Lu Chen's endless words, and said after a long time: "That's right, so aren't you in a hurry?"
"That was not what I meant."
Lu Chen felt that he and his mother's brain circuits were not on the same channel at all.
He said he was 29 to express that he was already an adult with a sound personality and character, and he had his own plans and arrangements for his future life.
But in Lu's mother's eyes, even if he is 29 years old, he is just a child who needs to be taken care of.
Lu Mu said again: "Then what do you mean, that I don't care about you anymore?"
"What I mean is that I have a good idea of these things, so you don't have to worry about them." As he spoke, Lu Chen took out a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Lu Mu, "Here."
"Gag my mouth with less money." Lu's mother was not very happy, and she was not interested in seeing the bank card.
Lu Chen had no choice but to take a step forward, and put the card into his mother's pocket: "Here, the password is still the same."
"You child..." Mother Lu took out the bank card in her pocket with a sullen expression on her face, lowered her head and rubbed it carefully, "I heard from Lu Ling that you plan to quit your job, so you still take the money let's go."
"I still have savings."
Lu Chen had expected that this news would be known to Lu's mother, so he acted very calmly.
However, Lu's mother's reaction was much smaller than that of Lu Ling or Yan Ke. Lu Shen guessed that Lu's mother had already meant to allow Lu Shen to return to the local area for development, but due to the fact that Lu Shen's career development in T City was really good , Mother Lu has no reason to speak at all.
Now that Lu Chen took the initiative to say that he wanted to resign, it had to be said that it was exactly what Lu's mother wished.
Mother Lu looked up at Lu Chen, her eyes full of relief: "Actually, Yan Ke's conditions are good, but with your ability, you can definitely find a comparable one in the local area. It will be easy to talk about marriage in the future, even in T City. It's a pity to sell that suite."
"I may not return to this city." Lu Chen turned his head and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Mother Lu was obviously taken aback.
Lu Chen's eyes darkened: "The matter of resignation is definitely not now. As for where to go in the future, I haven't decided yet."
"If you don't go home, then why are you resigning?" Mother Lu asked
"It's a long story..."
Lu Chen really couldn't confess the real reason to his mother.
His family is very traditional, so traditional that his parents may not even know what homosexuality is like.
For such a family, it is not easy to admit that they like men.
If you let them know that you have been secretly in love with your best friend in everyone's eyes for nearly ten years, Lu Chen can't imagine what kind of consequences it will cause.
What's more, Yan Ke's plan to resign has already been known by Yan Ke.
With Yan Ke's stubborn personality, if he never let go, Yan Ke might do something.
In order to temporarily suppress Yan Ke's outburst, Lu Chen chose to tell him that he would not resign.
But this job is destined to be unsustainable. Unless he avoids Yan Ke, as long as Lu Chen returns to work in this city, he will definitely not be able to escape Yan Ke's entanglement.
Lu Chen could only tell his mother: "I have my own plan. If Yan Ke calls Mom, you can answer him with this sentence."
"Are you having a conflict with Yan Ke?"
Lu's mother finally found out that there was something wrong between Lu Chen and Yan Ke, but it was clear that the two of them were fine as brothers yesterday.
Lu Chen said: "It's not a contradiction, but he doesn't want me to resign."
"Oh—" Lu Mu sighed, "It's understandable."
Everyone knows how hardworking Lu Chen and Yan Ke have been in their work for so many years.
Once Lu Chen left, Yan Ke would never find another person to replace him, so it was only natural that he didn't want Lu Chen to resign.
But in the world of adults, even brothers and sisters are divided into relatives, let alone friends.
Although Mother Lu has a good impression of Yan Ke, but Lu Chen is her child, so her starting point is naturally for Lu Chen's good.
As mentioned before, Lu Chen was a mature and well-behaved child since he was a child.
Lu's father and Lu's mother didn't have much education, and they couldn't help Lu Chen with his homework since elementary school.
But Lu Chen was smart and self-disciplined since he was young, and he didn't like to go out to play. Apart from studying and reading, his usual hobbies were watching TV at most.
The Lu family is not considered rich, and it is very difficult to provide for the two children to study. After Lu Chen graduated from university, the demolition situation of the family became better.
But at that time, Lu Chen was already Yan Ke's manager, with a monthly salary of [-] to [-].
It can be said that Lu Chen's current achievements are all due to himself.
Lu's mother is used to Lu Chen making decisions on her own, she only worries about getting married, and she completely trusts Lu Chen in the rest.
Since Lu Chen had said his plan, Lu Mu didn't ask any more questions.
But in the end, Mother Lu still wanted to warn:
"You decide on your own affairs, the money will be saved for you, and you can withdraw it anytime you want."
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded, somewhat moved in his heart.
"Lu Ling has already signed up for her volunteers, and has made an appointment with her classmates for a graduation trip. When are you leaving?" Mother Lu changed the subject.
"I've booked a flight ticket for the evening." Lu Chen took out his phone and checked the time.
"Then shall I ask your dad to drive you to the airport?"
"No need." Lu Chen stood up from the sofa, "I don't have much luggage, I packed it last night, it's time to go now."
"Let's go now..." Mother Lu showed a look of reluctance.
Lu Chen put his hand on his mother's shoulder, and patted it lightly twice: "I will go home often in the future."
"Then you can remember." Lu's mother lowered her eyes, quickly covering up her emotions.
"Definitely." Lu Shen said.
……
After saying goodbye to Lu Mu, Lu Chen went to the room and dragged out the empty suitcase.
Mother Lu sent him to the car, and the taxi drove all the way to the airport.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Shen turned on his mobile phone until the plane landed in T city. As soon as Lu Shen turned on the phone, Yan Ke's WeChat text message bombarded him.
This time, it's not that Yan Ke is making trouble for no reason, but that he does have important work tomorrow.
A while ago, the movie that Lu Chen received had an early opening ceremony. As the backbone of Yan Ke's team, Lu Chen had to show his face in everything.
Lu Chen didn't think too much, and immediately texted Yan Ke back, saying that he had returned to T City.
Not long after the text message was sent, Yan Ke called.
As soon as Lu Chen connected, Yan Ke couldn't wait to say: "What's the matter, you and that girl didn't see eye to eye?"
"..."
After finally calming down, Lu Chen was completely annoyed.
Seeing that he was silent, Yan Ke said, "Can't you hear me?"
Lu Chen took a deep breath: "I'm in the car, I'll talk about this topic later when I get back."
"Then you haven't eaten dinner yet?" Yan Ke asked.
"No." Lu Chen said truthfully.
"All right, I'll go to your house to buy something, and we'll have dinner together when you come back."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lu Chen's reply, Yan Ke hung up the phone on his own.
Lu Chen held his mobile phone, and when he thought of seeing Yan Ke's face again, he felt very uncomfortable.
Compared with him, Yan Ke was as calm as if all this had never happened.
He is still Yan Ke's manager, and Yan Ke is still as close to him as wearing a pair of trousers. As for whether Lu Chen likes Yan Ke and how long he has liked it, that is completely out of the scope of consideration.
From this point of view, Lu Chen admires Yan Ke's psychological quality.
However, from the preface, there are so many women around Yan Ke, even after they are separated, they can coexist peacefully. I am afraid that Yan Ke has long been familiar with this.
Lu Chen naively thought that he had been with Yan Ke for many years, and that Yan Ke might act a little special.
But the facts proved that there was no difference between him and Yan Ke's admirers.
Oh, maybe the only difference is that he is more valuable than those admirers, so Yan Ke can't let him go.
Lu Chen laughed at himself, then closed the phone.
Four 10 minutes later.
The taxi finally arrived at the complex in the traffic jam, Lu Shen paid the fare, and walked towards home with his suitcase.
However, during this 10-minute journey, Lu Chen met another acquaintance.
It doesn't count as an acquaintance, because they are people they met at work, and the other party's reputation is too great. Lu Chen recognized the other party, but he couldn't guarantee that the other party would recognize him.
Seeing that he was still wearing sunglasses, Lu Chen thought that he would definitely not want to be recognized, so he didn't go up to say hello.
But what I didn't expect was that after seeing Lu Chen, the man took the initiative to take off his sunglasses:
"Hey, isn't this Yan Ke's manager?"
Lu Chen had no choice but to put down the suitcase, and put on a polite smile: "Film Emperor Li——"
"Fart Movie King!" Li Yan waved his hands carelessly, "There is no hero at the time to make Zhu Zi famous, but in fact I am only of average level, relying on my peers to set off."
"Then I hope Yan Ke will not be included in this group of colleagues." Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.
Li Yan also smiled: "You are really loyal to Yan Ke, how much money Yan Ke pays you for a year, I will double it, come hang out with me."
