The marketing account also wants to fall in love

The high-speed rail train passed through several caves, and the mobile phone signal became unstable.

Lu Dongshan nervously searched the world's time zones and calculated the time difference between Beijing and Africa.

Although it is not very clear where Bai Chuan's mother is in Africa, the existing information is basically enough——

This "hot summer of cruciferous family" is probably the strong woman from Bai Chuan's family, an executive of a Chinese-funded organization stationed in Africa.

Thinking of this level, in the comfortable high-speed train compartment, Lu Dongshan sat upright, sweating profusely.

The two parents of Bai Chuan are not simple. One directly blocks the door early in the morning, and the other immediately reveals his vest. They are more decisive than Bai Chuan himself. It is really stressful.

Do you want to... Follow me back?

Holding his mobile phone, Lu Dongshan carefully studied his mother-in-law's Weibo — there were quite a few likes (mainly for himself and Bai Chuan), but the last post on this account was three months ago. It can be seen that a strong woman I'm not very keen on Weibo, and most of the time I register an account just to see what my son is up to (and to see what my son's boyfriend is doing by the way).

So, it's better not to pay attention, since the mother-in-law didn't reveal her identity...

Lu Dongshan weighed it secretly, feeling uneasy.

He knew that Bai Chuan's parents were very open-minded, they were a pair of educated senior intellectuals, they understood and accepted their son's sexual orientation, and they would never make things difficult for Bai Chuan and Lu Dongshan.Moreover, from so many likes, it can be seen that Bai Chuan's mother probably doesn't have a bad impression of Lu Dongshan.

But Lu Dongshan still had no idea.

He even thought about how he should properly balance family affection and love if he had a showdown with his two conservative parents in the future.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, he can't make his parents sad, but he can't make Bai Chuan sad either.

The road ahead is long...

……

After Lu Dongshan left, City A suddenly ushered in a cold air, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees like a stock market dive.

The street trees on the side of the street turned yellow overnight, and the dead leaves swirled down in the cold wind, forming a thick layer on the side of the road.

Bai Chuan rummaged through the box to find his own thick clothes, fully armed, but still felt cold after going out, and two layers of thick blankets on his legs didn't help, every pore shivered and shivered, longing for warmth and companionship.

In the past, Bai Chuan was always alone. At that time, he felt that he was invincible, and there was nothing he could not resist. Even if he just got into a car accident and was lying on the hospital bed and could not move, he could deal with doctors, nurses, policemen, and insurance company staff with ease. It can also show a modest smile, as if everything is calm and calm.

Now, he is not alone, and he is no longer such a brawny Bai Chuan.

A cold wind, a gust of cold rain can cause him endless worries, and even the wheelchair that he used proficiently early in the morning becomes sluggish and laborious.

Bai Chuan thought, love makes people weak.

Love makes people willing to fall into such a weak situation, but it also makes people afraid that such a weak self will make the other person sick.

Bai Chuan recited the name silently in his heart: Lu Dongshan, Lu Dongshan...

Braving the cold wind, Bai Chuan went to the rehabilitation center early in the morning on this day.

The doorman Lao Zhou was arranging the cage cloth at the gate, preparing for the winter for his precious thrush, when he saw Bai Chuan coming, he greeted, "Bai Chuan, here you come."

"Morning, Uncle Zhou." Bai Chuan replied politely.

Lao Zhou quickly waved his hand: "Don't be polite to me, go into the building quickly, it's windy and cold today."

"Well, then I'll go to the doctor, and you should wear more."

After entering the building, Bai Chuan went all the way to his treatment room.When turning the corner at the end of the corridor, he accidentally heard Uncle Zhao's voice.

"Ouch..." The stubborn Uncle Zhao seldom cried out in pain, he begged the doctor softly, "Please be gentle, ouch."

The doctor who treated him was young, but his tone was very serious: "How many times have I told you that you must be careful in your daily activities and don't go to crowded places. You are old and falling is very dangerous."

"I'll listen to you. I'll listen. It's not windy today, the sand blinded my eyes, and I knocked outside. It was fine at first, but it hurt just now. I'll come to you soon."

The doctor didn't seem to believe him, and said: "If you want to buy things for your family members to buy, don't go to the supermarket by yourself. I know you don't want to trouble others, but if the disease recurs and worsens, and your family members are even more affected, you Think about it, you shouldn't lose the big because of the small."

"Hey, hey, I know." Uncle Zhao agreed repeatedly.

Bai Chuan passed by outside the clinic, and through the narrow crack of the door, he saw Uncle Zhao sitting in the wheelchair again, with a thick bandage wrapped around his calf.

It sounds like he fell because he went shopping in the mall, and the leg injury that had just recovered not long ago recurred.

Bai Chuan shook his head and sighed.

This brave old man is really annoying.

Not to mention that Uncle Zhao's leg injury is just right, even if he has fully recovered, he must be extremely careful in his daily activities in the future.

The human body is like a piece of porcelain. Porcelain can be repaired, but the repaired one is not the same as the brand new one. Even if nothing can be seen on the surface, there will be tiny cracks inside. If you bump it a little, others will be safe and sound. But it may be that small cracks become large cracks and shatter into a pool of tiles again.

Uncle Zhao has passed the age of obedience, and his life will be complete only when his daughter-in-law gives birth to a fat grandson.Bai Chuan couldn't help thinking of himself—he is not yet 30 years old, and he still has a long life without experience. In the years to come, even if he can get rid of his wheelchair, he will be just a porcelain doll that needs to be careful everywhere. , Ambitious, impossible to talk about.

Not to mention, maybe he won't be able to stand up again...

Rehabilitation training is still hard.

After practicing all morning, Bai Chuan saw Uncle Zhao at the gate again.

This time, Uncle Zhao didn't confront Lao Zhou over trivial matters, but warmed his hands with a purple sand pot, and complained to Lao Zhou in a rambling manner.

"I just heard that it's good for pregnant women. I want to buy some stewed soup for my daughter-in-law. Who knows that there are so many people in the supermarket. Maybe it's just in time for some special promotion... Sigh..."

Lao Zhou wiped the bird cage with a soft cloth, and curled his mouth: "I give in to you, even if you broke your leg, you can still move to the hospital with a cane, won't it hurt?"

"Didn't I hold my breath, it hurts me to death..." Uncle Zhao was talking, and suddenly found something wrong, "Cough you, I have said it all, it is not broken, just a small crack, the doctor said It can still grow. When the bone seam grows, I will almost be a grandfather."

"Look, it's beautiful for you." Uncle Zhou dismissed it.

"Hey, are you not convinced? At that time, I can tease the eldest grandson, but you can only tease the bird."

Uncle Zhao was so complacent that he hummed a ditty while sitting in a wheelchair. Uncle Zhou raised his eyebrows, snatched the purple clay pot from his hand, and entered the guard room.

"...Old man Zhou, you don't need to be teased!" Uncle Zhao saw Bai Chuan approaching, pouted his mouth, and said to Bai Chuan, "Look at him, his mind is as small as the tip of a needle."

Bai Chuan smiled, said goodbye to Uncle Zhao without saying anything, and then went home in his wheelchair.

The cold wind is blowing, and there are fewer and fewer stray cats wandering in the community.

Lu Dongshan was not at home, and Bai Chuan didn't feel down, so he simply took a bag of cat food and went downstairs to feed the cat, taking advantage of the sunshine at noon and it was not too cold.

I don't know if it was because the temperature dropped and the cats were hungry and cold, or because Bai Chuan had been with Lu Dongshan for a long time, and his body was also stained with the scent of catnip. This time, the big cat and the little cat no longer treated Bai Chuan coldly, but Surrounding him in the middle, scrambling to grab food, made Bai Chuan feel satisfied, and the autumn wind could not feel the chill on his face.

He bent down and tried to touch the head of one of the cats. The cat didn't hide, but comfortably shrunk its neck, shook its ears, and rubbed against Bai Chuan's palm furryly, making Bai Chuan's heart instantly melt into a puddle of sweet water.

The thought that had appeared countless times popped up in Bai Chuan's mind again——

I really want to have a cat of my own...

It's a pity that the happy time always flies by.

The cat food bag quickly bottomed out.Bai Chuan bid farewell to the little ones, tightened his neckline, and slowly walked towards the apartment building.

When passing the flower bed, at the place where he showed Lu Dongshan the thorns last time, a dirty cat suddenly flashed past him.The cat didn't move too fast, and even tripped when jumping on the stone edge of the flower bed.

She got into the dry grass, only the tail was exposed. Bai Chuan took a closer look and recognized this thin little guy.

It's Xiao Huang.

However, her lover is not with her, and the three kittens she nursed not long ago have disappeared.

Xiao Huang dragged a deformed leg due to injury, and hid in the withered autumn grass, alone, without making any mournful neighing, but curled up silently, enduring the endless cold wind.

Bai Chuan stopped not far away, looking at her sadly, the relaxed and happy mood just now condensed into biting frost.

He once thought that the little yellow cat who was afraid of life had finally got out of its unfortunate fate, but the reality hit him head-on.

Sweetness and warmth are only temporary, only misfortune and pain are long-lasting. Once caught by bad luck, she will never escape the clutches of bad luck. Powerless to guard these hard-won happiness.

Her destination is only the cold wind and withered grass, walking alone, alone.

Bai Chuan looked up at the sky, and there was not a single cloud in the blue sky.

The weather forecast says that there will be new cold air passing through, and the first snow may also be on the way.

I don't know if Xiao Huang can survive this winter.

……

Also on this day, at night, when Bai Chuan was bored cooking porridge in the kitchen, he accidentally received a message from his mother:

"The air ticket has been booked. Remember to entertain me with delicious food~"

Bai Chuan was shocked: "You want to return to China? So suddenly?"

Mom replied half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Because I really can't bear the food here, I want to go back to China to eat Chinese food, and I will see you by the way."

Bai Chuan smiled: "If you want to eat, wrap it on me."

The mother was not polite, and reported the names of more than a dozen dishes like Guankou, and then told her son the specific return time, so that he could prepare materials in advance.

Bai Chuan was stunned: "It's not a bad thing that I'm engaged in engineering. The timing is wonderful. It's just enough for me to prepare a pot of soup."

Mom sent a V-sign emoji.

"Thank you, Bai Chuan, mom loves you."

Looking at this sentence, Bai Chuan was a little puzzled. Similar to most Chinese parents, his mother rarely expressed her feelings so bluntly.

Why……

But his doubts were quickly answered.

Before the porridge was ready, Bai Chuan received another message from his father.

"Bai Chuan, the situation may be a bit complicated. The doctors all suggest that you come here in person. I have already communicated with your mother, and she said that she will bring you to the United States for medical treatment. Go through the formalities for going abroad as soon as possible."

With the flames dancing on the stove, Bai Chuan typed word by word on the phone screen: "What does it mean that the situation is a bit complicated? Is it good or bad? Tell me."

After a long time, Professor Bai's reply popped up in the dialog box: "I don't need to hide it from you, right? Most doctors think it's not good, Bai Chuan, you have to be mentally prepared."

"I see."

Bai Chuan put the phone aside, turned off the gas, and scooped up a bowl of porridge.

The rice fragrance was fresh and attractive, but he didn't drink it down.

……

As the sun turned to the west, Bai Chuan didn't know how long he sat at the dining table.

He thought about making a shopping list of the ingredients his mother mentioned, but he couldn't cheer up anyway.

At this time, the screen of the mobile phone suddenly turned on again. It was a video call from Lu Dongshan.

Before they set off, they made an appointment to chat on video calls every day.

Now, all it takes is a swipe of a button to see that person's big smile.

Bai Chuan stretched out his finger, and outlined the curve of Lu Dongshan's mouth in the air, his eyes filled with a warm smile.

But he didn't answer the call.

The moment the screen went off, Bai Chuan shuddered.

A new cold air seems to have swept over the city.

Will it snow?

Let it snow.
