Growth pain

After lunch, Yuan Sen asked Lu Shining if he wanted to send it.

Lu Shining looked at him strangely, "No need."

Yuan Sen nodded when he got the answer, "Then you send me off."

Lu Shining asked him: "Can I refuse?"

Yuan Sen smiled, pressed Lu Shining into his arms again, pinched the back of his neck with one hand, and said in an easy-going but slightly threatening tone, "You refuse to give it a try."

Lu Shining didn't have as much strength as Yuan Sen, nor was he taller than him, so he gave up if he couldn't break free.At the entrance of the hotel, Lu Shining refused to go in, and waved at Yuan Sen. Yuan Sen originally wanted him to sit with him and talk for a while, but seeing his butt on fire, he was a little helpless, so he had to say, "Then get in touch later."

Lu Shining replied to Zhang Lei's message after taking the subway. He typed: [I don't like it anymore. 】

He didn't care what Zhang Lei replied, the words seemed to be addressed to himself.Lu Shining is very good at convincing himself that the expensive toys he liked when he was a child, he didn't tell his parents that he wanted them, he just convinced himself that they weren't that good.

There were not many people on the subway, and most of them looked down at their phones. Lu Shining looked out of the window after replying to the message. He could concentrate on watching for a long time even though there was no scenery outside.

In the sixth grade of Lu Shining Primary School, he had his first smartphone, and he spent less than 20 yuan on calls in two or three months. He used the 4G network when he was just in high school. He and Yuan Sen went to open a new card together. Two phone numbers with numbers next to each other.At that time, time passed slowly, the Internet fee was very expensive, and the game hall was too noisy.Yuan Sen took him to Internet cafes rarely, and Lu Shining was so clumsy that he couldn't get past the four stars of QQ Xuanwu, so he only went to watch Yuan Sen play cf.In the days when there is no internet, they stay together all the time, from early morning to sunset, boredom is common, but boredom is also boring when two people are together.

But now it is 2022. No one uses their mobile phone as a contact tool. Most adults’ mobile phones will not ring when they are not working, and everything can be solved on chat software.Perhaps because of his parents' old age, Lu Shining seemed to be out of touch with this society. When he was a freshman, his roommates said that he was too prudent, thoughtful of everything, and polite and considerate so that it was difficult to find faults, but it created a sense of distance.Fortunately, he is well-behaved enough to know when to say something, and no one in the school hates him openly.

Lu Shining had such a personality when he was 24 years old.His parents didn't have too many demands on him, they only hoped that he could grow up happily, and he grew up slowly.On the day he became an adult, Yuan Sen flew back specially to celebrate his birthday, sang birthday songs, and cut the cake. Lu Shining's eyes were reddened, but he tried not to cry.

Yuan Sen teased him and said, "I'm an adult, I won't be there next birthday, can I ask someone to bring you a gift?"

Lu Shining said sternly, "Okay."

He has an oval face. After going to college, girls often say that he has a small face and beautiful eyes. The lower corners of his eyes are slightly widened, and they are as bright as a dog. When he just woke up, he was inner double. Always be pious and listen carefully.

Yuan Sen always likes to tease him like cats and dogs, but Lu Shining clearly knows it but takes it seriously every time.He is a thoughtful person, he can't control himself from thinking about it, and he can't pretend he doesn't care.That was the most difficult time for him, he couldn't convince himself that he didn't like Yuan Sen, and he wanted to cry when he saw him.But Yuan Sen didn't cry the day he went abroad, let alone cried in front of him.

When Lu Shining was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was tall and tall, and he had convulsions and bone pain almost every night. When he woke up in the morning, he would knock on the door of Yuan Mori's house and say, "I didn't fall asleep again at night."

Yuan Sen would rub his hands and knees for him, and ask him jokingly, "How tall do you want to grow?"

Lu Shining said: "It's about the same as you, it can be a little shorter."

"Then you will be in pain for a long time."

Lu Shining was very troubled, the feeling of waking up from falling in the middle of the night was uncomfortable, and the seams of his bones felt as if they were being pried open.

Otherwise don't grow taller.

When he was young, he was only worried about these trivial things, but when he grew up, he didn't even dare to say the words "I miss you" easily. The uncomfortable feeling was no less than the pain of growing up.

The more than ten years of getting along together made him know Yuan Sen very well. He is handsome, popular, quick in speaking and doing things, and most importantly, he likes women.

Lu Shining never dared to break the status quo and take unnecessary risks.The liking that he almost blurted out at the coming-of-age ceremony was not regrettable in his opinion, but rather fortunate.

Yuan Sen couldn't accept men and men, he knew this from a long time ago.The only reason he was so nice to him was because he stayed with him long enough.

Lu Shining was extremely sober, but it seemed so childish to send Zhang Lei "I don't like it anymore". The glass window reflected his frowning appearance, revealing the entanglement that he didn't even realize.

As soon as Lu Shining got home, Yuan Sen's text message came.

[One last time, I won’t leave when I get back, and write to me when I get home. 】

Yuan Sen has always been so domineering and autocratic, and may be a little falsely courteous to others, but he treats Lu Shining as if he really has such a younger brother, and he likes to control him very much.

Lu Shining read the message and didn't reply, went upstairs and opened the door, stood in the entrance without changing his shoes, and sent a message to Yuan Sen rigorously.

【I have arrived. 】

He threw the phone on the bed and turned it up to pick it up again, Yuan Sen just replied to him: [Got it]

Lu Shining threw the phone away again, this time he didn't pick it up, and went back to the entrance to change his shoes, and when he came to get the phone again, he found that Zhang Lei had returned to him too.

Zhang Lei said: [Really?I do not believe. 】

Lu Shining locked the screen expressionlessly, stuffed the phone under the pillow, changed his clothes, lay down and said "I'm asleep" to the air.

One minute after I closed my eyes, the phone started to vibrate one after another, so I took it out to check.

Zhang Lei: [The bracelet you wore when you were in college lasted for three years, and when it finally broke, you wanted to repair it. 】

【You are too nostalgic. 】

[Let alone a person. 】

Lu Shining thought to himself, that bracelet looks ordinary, but it is actually very expensive.

It was Yuan Sen who sent him.

In fact, in the past two years, Lu Shining seldom thought of Yuan Sen. The reason why he kept wearing the bracelet was because he was used to it. When it broke, he wanted to repair it because he thought it was a pity to throw it away after wearing it for so long...

Well, he is nostalgic.

Lu Shining admitted his failure, and sent Zhang Lei an angry expression. This time, he remembered to turn off the internet, and slept until dark.

Woke up by the phone at night, Zhang Lei said on the phone: "Come out to eat barbecue."

Lu Shining had just woken up, and his mind was still not very clear, so he let out a dazed "um", and Zhang Lei excitedly sent him the address.

It was too late when he woke up, Zhang Lei said: "Then I'll wait for you~" and hung up the phone.

Lu Shining sat on the bed for five seconds, and got up after realizing the reality.

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Lei rushed over like a husky, yelling, "Brother, I miss you to death!"

Lu Shining ruthlessly exposed him: "You just want to eat barbecue."

Zhang Lei chuckled, "Please, please."

"Do you still have money at the end of the month?" Lu Shining raised his eyes, and Zhang Lei froze. "I'll invite you next month."

At night, the Chuanyang fireworks are the most prosperous, and the choking smoke from the charcoal fire hovers over the city.The barbecue is also open-air, so Zhang Lei took a bite, ordered a glass of draft beer, and asked Lu Shining what he wanted.

"I drink soda."

Lu Shining has the characteristics of a child, he loves to drink sparkling water, chew strawberry or watermelon flavored gum, maturity is only a superficial thing, everyone hopes that he will always be that favored child.

The boss took the pineapple-flavored Arctic Ocean, and as soon as he opened it, the bottle cap rolled to other people's feet. The noisy market took away all the troubles in his heart.

Lu Shining didn't have much appetite for meat, so he picked up some vegetables to eat. Zhang Lei hummed and sipped his beer, "Don't you want some wine?"

"Don't drink, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Zhang Lei nodded, "How long have you been here since childhood?"

Lu Shining said, "He said he won't leave."

Zhang Lei opened his mouth wide and didn't bite off the meat, looking surprised, "Really? Isn't that good, it's your chance."

Lu Shining was too lazy to talk, and handed Zhang Lei a bunch of green peppers.

"I'm not a vegetarian." Zhang Lei muttered and answered, poking his eyes over, engraving his curiosity on his face.He is thin, but tall, with long legs, and he is funny when he bends on the stool.

Lu Shining hadn't said anything when the phone rang suddenly. Seeing that it was Yuan Sen, he was stunned again and again until the ringing was almost over before answering the phone.

"Little Deer." The person on the other end of the phone called him.

It shouldn't be like this.Neither of them are in their teens, so calling them too close makes people feel awkward.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Sen's words made him ignore these things, and Yuan Sen said, "Why are you so noisy over there?"

Lu Shining hesitated and said, "I'm outside."

"What are you doing?"

"Have a meal."

"What to eat?"

"Barbecue."

"Okay, Lu Shining." Yuan Sen called him by his name, and he was frustrated, "I have time to eat barbecue, but I don't have time to stay with me for a while."

Lu Shining was full of sleep and in a good mood, regardless of Yuan Sen's ambiguous remarks.

He said: "Yes."

"What are you right about? Where? Just you?"

"There are others."

"Who?"

"You don't know me either."

"How do you know if you don't tell me?"

"Zhang Lei."

"Your college classmate, I don't know you anymore, don't you often mention it?"

"I said there are others because..." Lu Shining looked up at the smoke rising into the sky, it was white, not beautiful, not good-looking, but his eyes wanted to follow the wisp of smoke to see it disappear. "You don't come."

Yuan Sen was silent, and then hung up the phone.

Although I mentioned the update time at the beginning, I still remind you that there will be another update tomorrow (?`~′?)

The background and year are superficial, and Chuanyang is also a city name I randomly named, but the memory part will be written around 2010
