Lu Dongshan froze on the spot.

Three people and six eyes looked at him, making that small key so important that he dared not reach out to take it.

The early winter wind was blowing on his face, he didn't wear much, so he should feel cold, but he still felt hot, maybe because he walked too fast just now, or maybe because Bai Chuan's eyes were burning, following him closely, his eyes Without blinking.

"...Mom, let's talk about this when we get home."

Lu Dongshan didn't respond to Bai Chuan's gaze, he said something in a muffled voice, then took the big bag from his mother's shoulder, and was about to walk into the corridor with him.

Bai Chuan looked at his slightly frowning brows, and saw a drop of sweat rolling from the hairline, slipping past the corner of his eyes, and then he wiped it off with his sleeve lightly, and disappeared.

Why don't you say hello to me?

Even if you are neighbors, if you meet downstairs, you should exchange a few polite greetings. If you want to separate the relationship, isn't it too deliberate to turn a blind eye?

Lu Dongshan half body entered the corridor, at this moment, his mother stopped her son.

"The elevator here is broken." She pulled her big bag and put it on her shoulder again, "You came back just in time, come and help me, and carry this little brother upstairs."

She looked at Bai Chuan, Lu Dongshan paused, and then turned around slowly.

Bai Chuan finally looked at Shang Lu Dongshan.

He looked sadly and calmly at Lu Dongshan, at his lover, and saw the bottomless panic and hesitation in the other's eyes.

He stands, he sits.

The distance between them is less than one meter, but it seems that they are separated by an insurmountable moat. Even if all the sweetness and love in the past are thrown here, the moat cannot be filled and smoothed.

Bai Chuan closed his eyes weakly, and when he opened them again, he smiled and said softly: "Lu Dongshan, you are back. Can you do me a favor?"

Lu Dongshan opened his mouth slightly, his lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.He threw off all the luggage on his body and threw it aside, and then stepped in front of Bai Chuan.

"...Why are you wearing so little, is it cold?" A word without beginning or end came out of Lu Dongshan's mouth somehow.

As he spoke, he immediately unzipped the zipper, took off his coat, and leaned over to put it on Bai Chuan's shoulders.

Suddenly an arm stopped him.

It was Bai Chuan's mother.

"Auntie..." Lu Dongshan, who was about 1.9 meters tall, was lightly stopped by Bai Chuan's mother, and took half a step back.

The strong woman is not angry, but there are too many emotions in her calm eyes.

She smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Lu, I won't bother you. You were quite tired just after rushing back. The five-story building is too high. I'll go out and hire someone to carry my son up."

"Auntie, I..." Lu Dongshan couldn't speak, he tightly clutched the clothes in his hand, in front of Bai Chuan's mother, he was embarrassed like a primary school student who made a mistake.

"What's the matter?" Lu Dongshan's mother also came over and said, "You're welcome, for things that can be done with little effort, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Children should help each other."

She pushed Lu Dongshan, and Lu Dongshan looked at Bai Chuan's mother who was expressionless, and his heart sank, he bowed slightly, squatted down again, first put his coat on Bai Chuan, and then put his hand on Bai Chuan's Back, one hand passed through the bend of Bai Chuan's leg.

He didn't know who he was explaining to, but he said in a deep voice, "I won't recite it, just hold it in my hand."

While talking, he exerted a little force and hugged Bai Chuan firmly.

Mother Lu didn't know the inside story, so she didn't think there was anything unusual, but she was afraid that her son would be more strenuous than carrying him, and it would be dangerous to go up the five floors, so she cared: "Be careful, don't be brave."

Lu Dongshan responded: "It's okay, you and your aunt go upstairs together, I will come down to get the backpack and wheelchair later."

He strode up the stairs with Bai Chuan in his arms.

Bai Chuan's vision faltered, and he met his mother who was standing silently not far away.

In that stern gaze, Bai Chuan subconsciously hugged Lu Dongshan's neck tightly, bringing the center of gravity of the two of them closer together.

That's right, what Lu Dongshan said was right, it's so easy.

And Bai Chuan also knew how to save Lu Dongshan more effort.They have long been used to it.

It's just the current situation, I really don't know if such a habit and convenience are ridiculous or sad.

Two people walked in front, neither of them spoke.Lu Dongshan walked quickly, and Bai Chuan pressed against his neck, hearing his heavy and rapid panting.

The surrounding air was stained with the heat and breath of Lu Dongshan, Bai Chuan reluctantly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, like an addict longing for the last dose of medicine.

After going up three floors without resting for a moment, Lu Dongshan stopped at a corner.He turned around vigilantly, seeing the two mothers being left behind, so he turned his face and pressed a burning kiss on Bai Chuan's forehead.

"I'm sorry." Lu Dongshan said.

Bai Chuan suddenly struggled, as if he couldn't bear the dull vibration of the opponent's chest.

"Don't move, hold me tight." Lu Dongshan tightened his arms, "Trust me, I won't drop you. Bai Chuan, give me some time, okay?"

"...My mother brought you a gift." Bai Chuan answered irrelevantly, "Don't you come to my house for dinner later, I have prepared a lot of dishes."

"Bai Chuan," Lu Dongshan said with heat in his eyes, "give me a little time, and I'll explain it to my family."

The two mothers didn't know what they were talking behind, and the voices approached.

Bai Chuan smiled, and sighed: "It's better not to talk about it, Aunty rarely comes to see you, so don't make her unhappy."

He looked up at the stairs that seemed to extend endlessly, and said softly: "Who knew that the elevator broke down today, the fifth floor is really high... Lu Dongshan, I was frozen outside all morning, it was so cold, I I want to go home."

……

When he put Bai Chuan on the bed safe and sound, Lu Dongshan was out of breath, his head was covered with sweat, and his arms were trembling.

Bai Chuan looked at him and said, "Thank you."

Lu Dongshan shook his head vigorously, took Bai Chuan's hand and pressed it against his cheek, regardless of the sweat and dust, just rubbing against it, unwilling to let go no matter what.

Bai Chuan didn't say anything, but his eyes drifted to the door of the bedroom, and he called "Mom".

Lu Dongshan turned his head suddenly, and saw Bai Chuan's mother pushing a wheelchair into the bedroom.

"Xiao Lu, thank you." Bai's mother said in a calm tone, "Hurry up and go home, your mother is waiting for you at home."

She pushed the wheelchair to Bai Chuan's side, then squeezed Lu Dongshan out the door.

When passing the living room, Mama Bai took out a large box of African woodcarvings of different shapes and sizes, and stuffed them into Lu Dongshan's hands.

"Bai Chuan said you like these, and asked me to bring them back for you. Take them."

"Aunt..." Lu Dongshan was anxious and flustered, "Don't be angry, I'll go and explain it to my mother right away."

Mama Bai made Lu Dongshan calm down on the spot.

She said sternly: "Go home and have a good meal with mom, chat with her, don't be stupid."

Lu Dongshan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "If you need any help, you can tell me at any time. There is not much furniture here in Baichuan. If it is not convenient for you to live in, I have a simple bed there. If you need to go out, I will drive you .”

"No, I don't live with him, I'll go home after dinner." Bai's mother showed a mocking smile, "My family has always lived in the city center, and Bai Chuan said that this place is close to the rehabilitation center, so I bought this house for myself Come live."

Suddenly mentioning the house in the city center again, Lu Dongshan's face flushed instantly.

He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he nodded his head as a signal, and then fled back to his home like a fly.

When Bai Chuan came out of the bedroom in a wheelchair, his mother had already closed the door of the house.

Seeing her son coming out, she said, "I've already given him the gift."

Bai Chuan smiled: "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it, you can give it to me."

"Is there any difference between giving it to you and giving it to him?"

Bai Chuan was speechless, pouted, and went to the kitchen.

"Whatever you want to eat, I will do it now."

Unexpectedly, my mother deliberately said: "I'm full of gas... Besides, didn't I send you the menu, just follow that."

Bai Chuan was helpless: "It's too much, two people can't finish it."

"Drink some wine and finish eating," she said, taking out a bottle of wine from her luggage bag, "I brought it back specially, wait a moment, drink good wine, and I will tell you a story."

Bai Chuan couldn't figure out what story his mother wanted to tell, so he shut himself in the kitchen, looked at the countertops piled up with all kinds of ingredients, and stared blankly for a while.

The upper body still smelled of Lu Dongshan's clothes, Bai Chuan thought in a trance, Lu Dongshan must have shaved carefully this morning, the kiss on the third floor was so deep, but he didn't feel the prickly stubble at all.

I don't know what interesting things he has learned about this time he went out to work.And the formula competition that Miss Luo mentioned last time, did he go there later?

His mother is looking forward to his marriage, a house in the city center... this time, maybe he doesn't have to work hard to save the monthly payment.

The son hid in the kitchen, thinking wildly. The mother couldn't hear the sound of the spatula and the frying pan, knocked on the kitchen door, and shouted in a long voice: "I'm hungry——"

So Bai Chuan turned on the faucet, wiped his face with cold water, grabbed the sharp kitchen knife, and started cutting vegetables rhythmically.

"Can I help?" Mom asked with half of her head poked in.

"No, just rest."

Not long after, four dishes and one soup were served.

Even though he was restless, Bai Chuan's cooking skills were not affected in the slightest.

My mother couldn't wait to serve a bowl of West Lake Beef Soup, and after taking a sip, all the taste buds were already awakened.

"It's delicious! I'm really thinking about opening a restaurant for you." She mumbled, "Where is the restaurant where you did the live broadcast last time? Did you ask the boss how much the rent is for a year? What about other expenses?"

Bai Chuan was helpless: "Don't be joking. In my case, open a shop? Let's talk about medical treatment. How do you arrange your time?"

My mother poured the wine from the decanter into a goblet and said, "What's the rush? Eat first, then tell stories, and finally talk about seeing a doctor."

Bai Chuan was puzzled: "Tell a story? What story?"

Mom smiled sweetly: "Love story."

Bai Chuan was stunned, a love story?I'm afraid this is to tease myself.

He smiled wryly and took a sip of the wine, swallowing it whole. He didn't taste the fragrance of the wine, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

His mother laughed at him: "How can you drink like this? You have to taste carefully to get the taste."

"What's the taste?"

"Bitter first, then sweet."

To Bai Chuan's surprise, his mother told him a very familiar love story, which was the story of his parents.

Although he had already glimpsed a part or two from the few words of his parents and the yellowed diary letters at home, but listening to one of the parties tell the story from the beginning to the end, Bai Chuan still felt unspeakably moved and warm in his heart.

The wine in the glass swayed slightly, and the bright red liquid gave off a fragrant smell.The story and the aroma of the wine that have been refined over the years are integrated at this moment, making this winter warm and vivid.

"When the two of us first met, we were both in a very difficult stage. Your father got the project he led for the first time, but the experiment was not smooth and could not produce results. You know, many botany experiments are It's just luck, he works day and night without sleep and food, but there is no progress, and he looks sad every day, like an old man.

"It was the same for me. At that time, I had worked in the unit for several years, and my work performance was obvious to all. But when the cadres were promoted, all the male colleagues in the same group as me were promoted, and I was the only one who was still at the most basic level. Work in a streamlined position. Yes, screws are great, but you know, your mother is not someone who wants to be a screw for the rest of her life.

"Anyway, it was at that time that I met your dad. It was not a suitable time to fall in love. I heard that there was a conspiracy in the research institute at that time, and someone secretly spread rumors that your dad was not doing his job properly and defrauding scientific research funds. My side is even more troublesome. , The leader talked to me directly and said that he had considered sending me to set up a new organization, but if he got married and had children, he could no longer choose me.

"The families on both sides disagree. Your grandma thinks he's a nerd, and your grandfather thinks I'm too strong. In short, the whole world is against us.

"But we got married anyway. When we got married, his project failed and didn't finish, and I was dropped from the selection list, and I didn't get promoted for five years. We started a family, had you, and then Little by little climbed out of the bottom of the career, all the way to today.

"Bai Chuan, my mother wants to tell you that there is no untimely love. It is windy today and it will rain tomorrow. If you have to get into the horns, every day is untimely. There is no smooth sailing love. There is no perfect in this world. If you want to get good things, How can we not pay a little hard work and not suffer a little setback.

"Lu Dongshan, he may make you sad today, but I don't think he did too much wrong. Of course, I can't give him a good face. As for you...you have to think about it yourself. There is a sentence I said I've said it many times, but I want to say it again--

"No matter what decision you make, Bai Chuan, you will always be the pride of your parents."

She picked up the wine glass and lightly touched Bai Chuan's.

"cheers!"
