Growth pain

After dinner in the evening, Lu Shining sat with his parents and watched TV. Such a time was rare. Lu's mother repeatedly asked him if he really didn't go to work tomorrow, and Lu Shining patiently explained over and over again.

The mother and the son talked, and only Lu's father was engrossed in watching the news. After a while, when his name was called, Lu's mother rolled her eyes and said, "Your son is talking to you."

Father Lu reluctantly turned his gaze over.

Yuan Sen called at around nine o'clock, and Lu Shining's eyes lit up.The parents who were still bickering all quieted down and looked at him together.Lu Shining suddenly felt embarrassed, and didn't dare to speak in front of his parents. He only heard Yuan Sen's voice on the phone: "Xiaolu."

Lu Shining said somewhat restrainedly: "Hmm..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, "Are you still at home?"

"Yes." Lu Shining held back his words but could only bow his head under the gaze of his parents.

Yuan Sen said, "I'm downstairs."

Lu Shining stood up subconsciously, with surprise in his eyes, "Are you down there?"

"Hmm..." Yuan Sen wanted to say something, but Lu Shining interrupted, "I'll get down right away!"

Then he turned to look at his parents, "I'll go downstairs and be back in a while."

Mother Lu immediately understood what was going on. Father Lu wanted to ask who it was, but she shook his head and stopped him.

Lu Shining didn't even put on his coat, so he opened the door and went out, and heard Lu's mother shouting from behind: "Take a flashlight!"

In the corridor, Lu Shining ran down a few steps and turned around and said, "I've brought my mobile phone!"

"How old are you and you're still blah blah blah." In the living room, Mother Lu said reproachful words, but there was no sense of blame in her tone.

Lu's father came to his senses: "That kid Yuan Sen is here?"

The old building at night has a terrifying atmosphere, dark corridors and invisible steps, and messy graffiti on the walls that are no longer white. Lu Shining ran down and saw Yuan Sen at the entrance of the corridor. He didn't even think about it. Pounce on it directly.

Yuan Sen was startled, he quickly opened his arms to catch him, Lu Shining wrapped his arms around his neck, raised his head and his eyes sparkled, as if he contained all the stars of the night.Yuan Sen hugged him tightly, "Why are you running? What if you fell in such a dark place?"

Lu Shining said, "Brother!"

Yuan Sen hurriedly covered his mouth, "Ancestor, I have convinced you, keep your voice down."

Lu Shining blinked, "I told them."

A smile appeared in Yuan Sen's eyes, "Well, I know."

Just look at Lu Shining's appearance.

After passing the excitement, Lu Shining finally realized how embarrassed he was, and slowly withdrew his hand, but Yuan Sen still hugged him, with a contented smile on his face, "Why don't you continue?"

"You know the result, what am I going to say?" Lu Shining looked around but didn't look at Yuan Sen.

"I want to hear it from you."

Lu Shining's heartbeat calmed down slightly, "They accepted."

Yuan Sen raised his hand and stroked his hair, and whispered, "They all love you."

Lu Shining nodded, looked up at him and stopped talking.

After a while, the two of them came out of the corridor. The night wind was very warm, gently blowing across their cheeks, and the moon hung high in the sky, grinning their teeth.

"Why are you here?" Lu Shining said.

Yuan Sen walked in front, and turned to look at him when he heard the words: "What do you think?"

"I told you not to worry..." Lu Shining walked up to Yuan Sen in two steps, reached out and touched Yuan Sen's fingers, and said obediently, "It's impossible not to worry."

Yuan Sen raised his hand to flick his forehead, "You know that too?"

Lu Shining suddenly felt pain but didn't hide, he just said: "They said as long as I like it."

Yuan Sen was immersed in the moonlight, silvery white fell on the tip of his hair, and the shadow separated the boundary, making him look much cooler, but there was a warm color in his eyes, reflecting Lu Shining's reflection.

Lu Shining suddenly took his hand, "You always come to me."

Yuan Sen was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently, "Yes, and I can always find you."

"Thank you for coming to see me." No matter what time.

Yuan Sen didn't like him to thank him, he didn't like it when he was a friend, and he didn't like to listen to it even more when he was a lover, so he pulled Lu Shining in front of him with all his strength, "Say it again, let me hear it?"

Lu Shining was not afraid of his threat, but laughed instead.He has been laughing a lot lately, like a child when he laughs, Yuan Sen took him out of his options and called him "ancestor" again.

Yuan Sen said: "When will you go back tomorrow? I drove over, call me when the time comes, and we can go together."

Lu Shining said, "Then where are you going to live tonight?"

"Look for a hotel to stay overnight." Yuan Sen said, looking up at the brightly lit building, "You should go back quickly, when Auntie asks..."

"You go up with me." Lu Shining said.

Yuan Sen was stunned for a moment, "Am I going to die or are you going to die?"

Lu Shining simply pulled Yuan Sen back, Yuan Sen let him lead him back to the corridor but did not move.

Lu Shining said: "You and I go up."

Yuan Sen declined, "Let's wait a while."

Lu Shining held on to Yuan Sen, his eyes were firm.The two looked at each other for a while, and Yuan Sen was finally defeated.

When going upstairs, Yuan Sen said: "Uncle Lu will hit me with the sole of his shoe when he sees him."

"why?"

"Why else, I abducted his precious son."

Lu Shining said in front: "I liked you first, and if you want to beat me up, beat me up first."

Yuan Sen gently clasped his hand, "He is not willing, and I am not willing either."

At the door of the house, Lu Shining let go of his hand to look for the key, and turned his head to warn Yuan Sen: "Don't leave."

"I've come up with you, where else can I go?"

Lu Shining touched for a long time, and finally said pitifully, "I forgot the key."

"...I really convinced you, Xiao Lu, just knock on the door." Yuan Sen said without any trace, dragged him behind him, reached out and rang the doorbell.

The doorbell made the same "wow" sound for more than ten years, as if going back more than ten years ago, when he was still a child, Yuan Sen would stand in front of Lu Shining and step on his feet to help him ring the doorbell.

When the doorbell rang, Lu Shining tugged at Yuan Sen's clothes, Yuan Sen lowered his head, and said, "Actually, both parents know..."

The door opened, and the light in the room fell on the feet of the two people. Lu's mother said: "If you whisper outside, go back to the room and talk."

Yuan Sen stood up straight the moment the door opened, and didn't hear what Lu Shining said at all.

Mother Lu looked at the two people who were still standing outside the door: "Did Yuan Sen eat?"

Yuan Sen stammered: "No, not yet."

Lu Shining poked him secretly from behind, but Yuan Sen grabbed his fingers and signaled him to stop making trouble.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the meal." Mother Lu glanced at Lu Shining who was behind, "Aren't you here to help?"

Lu Shining pointed at himself in surprise, but followed obediently.

Father Lu and Yuan Sen were the only ones left in the living room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After a while, Father Lu coughed twice: "You kid..."

Yuan Sen still didn't understand the current situation, so he turned to look at Lu's father on his own initiative.

Father Lu muttered quietly: "Don't bully my son."

Yuan Sen paused, then he understood and nodded cautiously.

"Sit down and watch TV. Why is the tall guy sitting there?" Lu's father made room for him, and looked at Yuan Sen unwillingly, "If Ning Ning had less snacks when he was a child, he might be better than you. Still high."

Yuan Sen wanted to laugh but held back, and echoed: "Uncle Lu is right."

Mother Lu was talking to Lu Shining in the kitchen, babbling: "You brought him back like this? Although we both know about it, have you ever thought about it..."

"Didn't you say that Yuan Sen was pretty good?"

"It's good, it's good..." Mother Lu glanced at Lu Shining, "There was something wrong with the two of you during Chinese New Year, do you think my eyesight can't tell?"

Lu Shining looked up and pretended to be stupid.

Lu's mother said again: "I think Yuan Sen is very strong, you listen to him in everything, will you suffer?"

"Ah?" Lu Shining was dumbfounded.

"Hey, it's up to you to suffer a loss, so you can figure it out." Mother Lu went to heat up the meal after she sighed, and put Lu Shining down to stay where she was.

After the meal was served, Lu's mother and Lu's father went back to their own room, they didn't treat Yuan Sen as a guest at all, everything was the same as before.

Yuan Sen already understood what was going on, as soon as Lu Shining came out, he looked at him with a smile.

Lu Shining pretended not to notice, Yuan Sen stretched out his hand to pull him back, word by word: "Come with me for a meal."

The two sat down facing each other, Lu Shining was far away, afraid that Yuan Sen would "revenge" him.

"How do uncles and aunts know? Did you tell them?"

"No." Lu Shining replied slowly, "I'm only close to you, so I can guess who it is."

Yuan Sen was very satisfied with the answer, and hit Lu Shining on the head with the back end of his chopsticks.

"If you don't tell me in advance, I will make my brother look ugly."

Lu Shining covered his head, "Tell me in advance that you won't come."

Yuan Sen glanced at him, and Lu Shining said, "I want to eat a piece of mushroom."

Yuan Sen knew that he was changing the subject, but he resigned himself to picking up mushrooms and feeding them to him, "Didn't eat enough tonight? Don't pick up your chopsticks, do you want to eat?"

The two of them were eating when the door of Mother Lu's room opened.

"Is the food okay?" Mother Lu asked.

Yuan Sen didn't even think about answering: "Well, it's delicious."

"Don't lie to me." Mother Lu rolled her eyes, "Don't spoil him, let him take the bowl by himself."

Lu Shining was stunned.

Mom, that's not what you said in the kitchen.

Yuan Sen said, "It's okay, he'll just take a few bites."

Mother Lu nodded: "That's right, don't waste a bowl and have to wash it."

Lu Shining: "..."

Mother Lu went to the bathroom and came out and said, "Just put the bowl in the sink and don't need to wash it, you two should rest earlier."

The meaning of this is obvious, it is the default that Yuan Sen will live here.

The door was closed, and Father Lu's very deliberate reminder sounded after two seconds: "Hey, isn't this house soundproof?"

The two people outside the door either answered or not, after a moment of silence, Lu Shining bit the bullet and said, "Got it."

Even if they sleep together, they won't do anything out of the ordinary!

Yuan Sen washed the dishes after eating, and suddenly stopped Lu Shining in the bathroom after washing his hands, bowing his head with a serious face.

Lu Shining was at a loss: "What are you worried about..."

"I'm not worried, but I have something to discuss with you." Yuan Sen said seriously.

"What?" Lu Shining also became nervous.

Yuan Sen said, "Should I change my name to Mom and Dad?"

For a moment, Lu Shining couldn't tell whether Yuan Sen was joking or serious, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Until Yuan Sen smiled and leaned on his shoulder, "wife."

Lu Shining stopped talking and pushed him awkwardly, "...I can't hear you."

Yuan Sen dropped a light kiss behind his ear.

The night was dark, and the streets and alleys were still the mouth of a monster as before, but there were many stars twinkling in the sky, guiding the way.

He was led home again by Lu Shining.

He is where he belongs.
