Do you want to touch the little tail [mermaid]

Xiao Yuanxu didn't stop, and called him in a low voice: "Baby."

"Don't call me baby." Lu Cai turned his head away disapprovingly.

He said: "I didn't agree to face it together. How can you retreat? You put on such an expression, I feel that I have done something wrong."

When Lu Cai mentioned it, Xiao Yuanxu was startled, realizing that his expression at the moment was probably very dazed.

From the beginning, he didn't want to end the relationship with Lu Cai, and it was his own responsibility to get the relationship recognized by the Lu family.

Now it's just that Lu Cai took the burden and pushed him home.

Xiao Yuan narrated: "You did nothing wrong."

Lu Cai's tense body relaxed slightly, and asked, "Since this is the case, will you come to my house?"

"As long as you want, I will not refuse you anything." Xiao Yuan said.

Lu Cai rubbed his draft paper and said, "I shouldn't be the one to think about this. The point is you. Are you afraid?"

It would be a lie to say that he is not timid, Xiao Yuanxu's mind is in a mess now.

Feeling Xiao Yuanxu's unnatural stiffness, Lu Cai put the ball of paper into his pocket, feeling a little depressed.

"I don't have to take the subway if I don't stop." He said.

Xiao Yuan said: "It's cold outside today, I'll take you home."

"No, I'm a little unhappy sitting here now." Lu Cai said dejectedly, "Then I'll take a taxi back."

He sniffed and saw that the car didn't slow down, and asked seriously, "Can't you hear me?"

Xiao Yuanxu had nothing to do with him: "Let me down in front, there is a shed to keep you out of the wind."

After Lu Cai listened, she couldn't even quarrel if she wanted to.

He was put down at the intersection ahead, packed his schoolbag and took a taxi by himself.

There was no one at home recently, Jill and Zhou Minggeng were in Macao, Jing Nie went back to the sea a while ago, and when he opened the door, he felt deserted.

Lu Cai stood at the door for a while, not quite used to this feeling.

Passing a test nervously, but not happy afterwards, returning to the empty home, it is rare to be a little sentimental.

He evaluated himself as poor Xiaolu in his heart, and then thought about how Xiao Yuanxu had been facing such scenes every day for several years.

Xiao Yuanxu, who is about to turn 28, has adapted, but the 14-year-old Xiao Yuanxu must be equally lonely, so Lu Cai silently added, how pitiful Xiao Xiao is.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and lay down on the sofa to squint for a while.

In the early morning, Zhou Minggeng came home and saw Lu Cai curled up in the living room, wearing a down jacket.

"You're promising, you can't sleep here without dinner?" Zhou Minggeng wondered.

Lu Cai was woken up in a daze, then looked at his phone, and found that he had slept for so long.

He said: "The exam is a bit tiring."

Zhou Minggeng put down his suitcase and went to the bathroom, squeezed a hot towel and handed it to Lu Cai, who slapped the towel on his face.

"Tired from the exam? Do you know that you are only short of writing a line on your forehead?"

"what?"

Zhou Minggeng said: "I was just hurt by a bad man."

Lu Cai: "..."

Even though he was out of the childish category, he was still young in front of Zhou Minggeng. If there was any disturbance in his mood, even if he wanted to cover it up, he would be easily seen through.

When a young girl in love encounters a blow, the disappointment is particularly obvious. Lu Cai has a frowning face, humming and not denying it.

周鸣庚道：“怎么着，热恋期过了，他背着你有人了？你和我说，我帮你揍他去。”

Lu Cai said weakly: "No! What are you doing, why do you seem to be cursing us!"

"I didn't curse you, hey, there is no need to dismantle unsuitable people, they will be disbanded after a while."

Lu Cai: "..."

Before, he was so busy being angry that he didn't even notice that he was hungry, but now that he was recovering, his stomach throbbed with pain.

He raised his hand to cover his stomach, and said without energy, "I want to eat noodles."

"What face?"

Lu Cai thought for a while: "Tomato, the soup is thicker, and the noodles are softer."

No worse than Lu Cai's distraught, when he found out that his brother and Xiao Yuanxu had conflicts, Zhou Minggeng secretly gloated at his misfortune, wishing he could go out and light firecrackers.

He has a carefree personality. The advantage of this kind of temper is that he is straightforward and straightforward. At the same time, he also has a disadvantage. He is not the kind of person with keen senses.

He noticed that Lu Cai's state was not right, but he didn't grasp the boundaries well, and while he was eating noodles, the elder brother kept talking.

"Just think about it, what good results can you and Xiao Yuanxu have? A simple old fox who can be compared to a thousand years of cultivation. You have no hesitation, and he can accept it as soon as he sees it."

Lu Caiwei ate the poached egg like chewing wax, silently stared at Zhou Minggeng, and then looked down at the noodle soup.

"How do you think you can handle him? I had a dream a few days ago. In the dream, there was another person beside you. I woke up and was still laughing, laughing and crying... You deserve a better one."

"A quarrel is a big deal. You need to examine your relationship."

Zhou Minggeng angrily reprimanded Xiao Yuanxu on Lu Cai's behalf, and by the way, he contained selfishness and secretly sowed discord.

After finishing reading, Lu Cai put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Aren't you just hungry? You haven't burned too much?" He was surprised.

Lu Cai said, "Stop talking."

Zhou Minggeng said: "Then, then you want to hear what I have to say? You command, I just want to relieve you."

However, he was wrong, and Lu Cai was not relieved at all.

Lu Cai put the bowl back into the house without saying a word, and went back to the bedroom with his head down.

There was Xiao Yuanxu's unread message on his phone, he deliberately didn't read it, couldn't hold back after half a minute, and opened it with breathless concentration.

Xiao Yuanxu sent an emoticon package, it was a round little fox, hiding in a box with a pair of eyes exposed.

Lu Cai pouted, and picked out a picture of beating a gopher with a mallet.

Xiao Yuanxu was hit hard, but he didn't fight back, instead he sent a red heart.

The two seemed to be talking dumb, and Lu Cai sent a "bye" gesture, ending the probing conversation.

After exiting the chat box with Xiao Yuanxu, the second-hand trading platform popped up.

Someone claimed that he was going to move, and it would be inconvenient to clean up, so he planned to sell all of Xiao Yuanxu's surroundings.

[I bought it a long time ago, and the preservation is not very good. If you want it, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price. ] This person sent it.

Afraid that Lu Cai would not want it, she asked: [Dear, do you still like it? ]

But this relative is still sad and doesn't want to answer such questions.

After 10 minutes, the person asked again: [If you don’t want it, I’ll sell it to someone else? ]

The opposite shows that it is inputting.

She refreshed the next page, and was replied: [Yes. ]

·

On the second day of the winter vacation, Lu Cai got into the nanny car with swollen eyes, and the hardworking little star went to work and ran the schedule.

He was busy with the main creators of the crew, and shot another set of magazine covers, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

When I returned to Beijing, the layout of the streets was not the same as before I left, with beaming red lanterns and peace knots hung on the road.

Lu Cai invited Ye Deng to dinner, and the two cooked a small hot pot at Ye's house.

Ye Deng asked: "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Lu Cai confessed: "I was offended by Xiao Yuanxu."

Ye Deng said: "Well, it's normal to have disputes. When we're running in, there may be a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days."

"Really? My brother said it was a big deal."

"Listen to him talking nonsense. I used to quarrel with him once every three hours." Ye Deng shrugged, "He just wanted to take this opportunity to separate the two of you."

Lu Cai: "..."

He picked up a chopstick of fat beef and put it in a bowl poured with sesame sauce, and didn't stuff it into his mouth for a while.

After a while, Lu Cai ate the fat cow and told Ye Deng the ins and outs of his temper.

In Ye Deng's view, this is really a small matter, and both sides should relax a little.

But lying in the middle of the young lovers, it is difficult to skip it lightly.

According to Lu Cai, I have been thinking about it for so long, and my boyfriend let me go, he is really a coward.

"He looked at me with such bewildered eyes, I can't force him to come to my house!" Lu Cai said aggrievedly, "It looks like my house is scary."

It's not that he can't understand Xiao Yuanxu's hesitation, because of the lack of family affection in the past, and because he feels very difficult about this aspect.

In general, the fear of screwing things up.

And Lu Cai believes that there is no screw up or not screw up, only willing to do or not to do.

It doesn't matter whether the performance is good or bad, and the final result doesn't matter, the most important thing is to step out of the shadow of the past.

Ye Deng bit the lettuce: "Many people are very afraid of seeing their parents. If you encourage him a few words, he will definitely agree."

Lu Cai said firmly: "I don't want it, it's fine if I don't come."

After finishing speaking, he muttered guiltily: "It's his own fault, and I have no influence, so I don't have to get entangled with my brother."

Ye Deng said: "By the way, how is your brother these days? Be careful not to stick to your partner?"

"Don't worry about the two of them, let's take care of each other, it's too late for me to suffer alone." Lu Cai said.

In fact, Zhou Minggeng and Xiao Yuanxu met once when Lu Cai was shooting magazine pictures outside.

A respectable old man in this city hosted a welcome banquet, invited more than half of the business community, and introduced his successor to them.

Xiao's mother is also on the invitation list, but she is busy with official business, so she can only let her son express her concerns on her behalf.

What is different from usual is that Zhou Minggeng and Xiao Yuanxu are comfortable in such occasions, but at this time they are frequently absent-minded.

Xiao Yuanxu seemed preoccupied, while Zhou Minggeng sighed.

There was a group of rich second generations chatting together, whoever mentioned it first, they talked about mermaids.

"I heard that there is one at the auction, but I only heard about it, but I haven't seen it. Didn't you say you saw it?"

"Is the mermaid crying to drop pearls?"

"I've seen it before, but what people cry are tears. At that time, I wondered if this was someone pretending to be."

Zhou Minggeng was very indifferent to them and didn't get involved in the topic. When they showed that they were about to move, he glanced at this group of people with disdain.

In the second half of the banquet, he took the initiative to talk to Xiao Yuan for the first time.

Ever since Zhou Minggeng learned that his younger brother was in love with Xiao Yuan, sometimes they would meet during entertainment.But it was Xiao Yuanxu who greeted each other, and then he ignored them.

Putting one hand in the pocket of his trousers, Zhou Minggeng said, "When the mermaid simply cries for her sweetheart, she will drop pearls just like in fairy tales."

Xiao Yuanxu turned his head and listened carefully to what he said.

However, Zhou Minggeng didn't speak again for a long time, looking at the man in suit and leather shoes in front of him.

After eating half of Lu Cai's noodles and returning to his room, he reflected on it for several days and apologized several times.

He expressed that he could face up to their feelings, and vowed not to be crowed again. Although he was secretly unwilling, he had already made concessions and could not retreat.

During this period of time, it was extremely miserable, but looking at it today, it seems that Xiao Yuanxu is not much better than himself.

It seems that Lu Cai ignored them both.

It seems that they both care about Lu Cai very much.

Zhou Minggeng sighed, pulled out his hands from his trouser pockets to straighten his clothes, and turned his head to take a stand.

But he stopped before taking two steps, took out something from the inside pocket of his suit, and threw it to Xiao Yuanxu with his backhand.

Xiao Yuanxu caught it easily, and then spread his palms.

Inside is a pearl.

·

On the day of Xiao Yuanxu's birthday, Lu Caiduan was sitting at home, seemingly calm and peaceful.

It's just that Zhou Minggeng was very suspicious, the other party's heart might be on fire.

After accidentally breaking a cup, the little mermaid was a little annoyed, and then went to play with the computer in the study.

In less than half an hour, Lu Cai said in a state of anxiety that he was going to take a nap. Zhou Minggeng asked him to clean the bedroom, but he threatened that the bedroom was too messy and there was nothing he could do.

"I know it's messy, so I just sleep in the pig's nest like this?"

In order to be lazy, Lu Cai said, "I can't help it, I'm a little pig—"

Zhou Minggeng said: "Aren't you ashamed? Ask my mother later, how did you give birth to a pig with a mermaid of the same race?"

Lu Cai went out for nine days, and after returning from Ye Deng, he and Zhou Minggeng resumed living in harmony.

Zhou Minggeng felt that Ye Deng had helped secretly, seeing Lu Cai close the door, he dialed Ye Deng himself.

"I'm not a family mediator, what can I say for you?" Ye Deng said.

After finishing speaking, he snorted and smiled: "So you want to know?"

Zhou Minggeng felt goose bumps on his hands: "You can't help me play the bitter card, right?"

Ye Deng said: "Guess."

Zhou Minggeng was symmetrical with him: "Say it."

Ye Deng's tone was frivolous: "Please beg me, I can think about it."

Zhou Minggeng: "..."

He knew that this person was not easy to deal with. He was about to hang up the phone when he heard Ye Deng say: "I told Xiaolu that I was jealous of him long before I met him."

"What?" Zhou Minggeng felt unbelievable.

Ye Deng said: "When I first met you, I felt that you were arrogant, but when you mentioned your younger brother, you obviously paid attention to it, and once you shared it, you would talk endlessly."

"Oh, at that time you still thought I was noisy." Zhou Minggeng said.

Ye Deng said: "Every time I listen to it, I think, why does he have an elder brother who favors me so much? If I can support him and buy such an expensive crown as a toy, life will be free from worries."

Speaking of this, he laughed: "There are still troubles. You are used to taking care of him. Who he is with and what will happen in the future are all things you are responsible for. If you protect him too tightly, it will be very painful."

Zhou Minggeng said: "I am afraid that he will not be happy."

"He's not afraid, you'd better trust him and give him the responsibility he should bear." Ye Deng said lazily.

Fifteen minutes later, the doorknob of Lu Cai's bedroom turned.

Lu Cai tossed and turned and did not fall asleep. After coming out, he was sneaky and walked towards the door lightly.

When he passed the living room, he was stopped by Zhou Minggeng, and then he looked around, pretending to look around.

"After thinking about it for a long time, you still want to celebrate Xiao Yuanxu's birthday?" Zhou Minggeng said, "Can't help but show off?"

Lu Cai pretended to be stupid: "Is today Xiao Yuanxu's birthday? Why do you remember it better than me? Tsk tsk, you have a problem."

Zhou Minggeng said: "Who is the one with the problem? Who searched on the computer just now? How did you celebrate your boyfriend's birthday naturally during the Cold War?"

"I just looked around casually, how do you look through my search records?" Lu Cai said, "I don't respect other people's privacy at all, I want to tell my parents!"

When it comes to his parents, he has a bit of a headache.

Not only about Xiao Yuan’s related matters, but also about his parents’ unrestrained nature. They insisted on not having the driver pick them up on the return trip from the island, saying that they would just play around by themselves.

Not knowing what to play and where to go, Lu Cai looked at the clock and fell into deep thought.

Zhou Minggeng glanced at his watch, and tacitly said: "I shouldn't have allowed them to wander around. With their style, don't bring back a cat or dog later."

Her parents belong to the royal family of the mermaid clan, they act majestically in front of the subjects, but they are very kind and gentle in private.

In the changing climate and sea area, they have to ensure the stable life of the mermaids, and sometimes rescue the jellyfish, or help the lost whales return to the big team.

This kind of sincere love is the same everywhere, and here Zhou Minggeng doubts that they will bring back stray animals.

At the same time, near the villa area in the middle of the mountain.

The parents of the Lu family have lived in the ocean for a long time and rarely come to land, so today they are dizzy.

They didn't learn how to use the software to call a car, so they had to temporarily stop the taxi for travel.

It’s okay when going from the airport to the city center, you can take a taxi directly from the exit, but not when going home from the city center.

After blocking for a long time, there was no empty car, and the two mermaids took the subway to the surrounding area.

When planning the roads of this mansion, it is assumed that every household has a private car, and public transportation is very inconvenient.

It takes more than 20 minutes for them to walk to the gate of the community, according to the navigation.

Generally speaking, normal people call early and ask their children to pick them up, but mermaids will migrate regularly, far beyond this distance.

So the two of them didn't take it seriously, carrying two packs of island specialties and dragging the suitcase, and slowly followed the navigation.

On the way, I came across a dessert shop with exquisite and western decoration, and Lu's father and Lu's mother decided to go in and take a rest.

The customers of this dessert shop are mainly the residents of the mansion area. Before the off-duty time, there is no other business besides the two of them.

Lu Mu leisurely drank hot cocoa and watched the movie cached on the phone.

"Why do you always look at Tao, what is Tao?" Father Lu said.

Lu's mother said happily, "Tao Yuefan? He is very handsome. Look at his nose bridge."

Father Lu said angrily, "Do you know that many human beings have plastic surgery?"

Lu's mother tried to argue with reason, proving that the movie star didn't have plastic surgery, but the store door creaked.

Another guest came in.

Looking towards the door, she first noticed Tao Yuefan's high nose bridge, and then saw a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, your birthday cake." The clerk said respectfully, "Do you need these?"

Xiao Yuanxu lowered his eyelashes and took the cake: "No need."

Lu Mu's eyes followed, and the clerk was talking about some celebration props, such as paper crowns, top hats and small cannons.

Although it's not her birthday, she thinks these things are cutely designed, so she plans to buy a copy with Father Lu.

Father Lu said in a low voice, "This person looks familiar."

Lu's mother was very excited about the mutual understanding: "Yeah, he looks like Tao Yuefan, he really looks like a celebrity!"

Father Lu: "...I mean, do you still remember that we were buying French fries at the intersection?"

Lu's mother thought about it, and then remembered: "It turned out to be him."

When they went out, Xiao Yuanxu was just about to leave, he was busy with business while sitting in the car, and was about to start the accelerator after making a phone call.

When he saw the couple's appearance clearly, he also thought that it was a coincidence that they could run into each other at the door of their house.

It was freezing cold outside, and the road on the hillside was very difficult to walk, Xiao Yuanxu looked at the wide road in front of him, and then at the big and small bags in their hands.

He slowly lowered the car window and asked Father Lu, "You live here too? Shall I give you a ride along the way?"

Father Lu turned on the phone, looked at the address sent by his son, and reported it to Xiao Yuanxu.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after he finished speaking, there was a flash of tension on the other party's face.

"I'll help you put your luggage in the trunk." After Xiao Yuanxu finished speaking, he got out of the car.

The parents of the Lu family feel embarrassed to ask for help again, how can they bother him to put things away?

They quickly refused, but Xiao Yuanxu was too polite, and when they got in the car, they were helped to open the door.

He was obviously a very quiet child before, but is he so enthusiastic? !They were surprised.

Xiao Yuanxu said carefully: "Uncle and aunt, do you need to increase the temperature of the air conditioner?"

Father Lu said: "No need, no need, I really trouble you."

"No, no trouble." Xiao Yuanxu gently bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth, trying to calm himself down.

With his heart beating fast, he took a deep silent breath and glanced in the rearview mirror.

The couple sitting in the back seat had kind faces, and they weren't as well-maintained as their parents, but they had a different kind of vitality that was enough to confuse their age.

On the way, Xiao Yuanxu's mind was in a mess, thinking about how to talk to them properly.

Before he came up with a satisfactory plan, Mother Lu said first: "Then you and our child are neighbors, maybe you know each other."

Xiao Yuanxu held back his anxiety and said, "Well, I know Lu Cai and Zhou Minggeng. But it's the first time I've seen you and uncle."

Lu Mu said: "We don't come here very often, this time it's rare to celebrate the New Year together."

"Is there any place you want to visit in this city? Maybe I can make a recommendation." Xiao Yuanxu racked his brains to talk.

They chatted a few words on this topic, and Lu's mother and Lu's father seemed very easy-going, talking and laughing so that Xiao Yuanxu could come to visit when he had time.

After arriving at Lu Cai's house, Xiao Yuanxu got out of the car and took out the suitcase, then glanced at the closed gate in the garden.

Lu's mother remembered Xiao Yuanxu's reply in the dessert shop, and guessed that the other party might not be celebrating his birthday.

She teased considerately: "It's better to come early than coincidentally. Do you want to come to my house for my birthday?"

Xiao Yuanxu bent his fingers, and scraped the pulp of his index finger with his thumbnail.

I am nervous and cowardly.

Xiao Yuanxu didn't retreat, and said, "Is it possible?"

·

Lu Caisheng slumped on the sofa helplessly, thinking that at three o'clock in the afternoon, if his parents hadn't come back, he would go to Xiao Yuanxu himself and meet them after his birthday.

Hearing the doorbell, he thought the milk tea he ordered had arrived, so he went to open the door listlessly.

He saw Xiao Yuanxu standing with his parents, blinked his eyes in disbelief, and said, "... Am I hallucinating?"

Lu's mother said: "What's wrong with you, you haven't seen your parents for a year, don't you know?"

"No, what's the situation behind you?" Lu Cai said.

He and Xiao Yuanxu looked at each other for a moment, and then quickly separated, a little cunning flashed in their avoidant eyes.

When his parents went to put things in the room, Lu Cai folded his arms and blocked Xiao Yuanxu at the entrance.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I don't know my boyfriend." He said, "Who are you? My boyfriend doesn't seem to dare to come to my house. Why did he come out with a cake?"

Xiao Yuanxu didn't respond, so Lu Cai made an inch of it, and got closer to Xiao Yuanxu viciously.

"You are so nervous that you dare not say anything, is your heart about to jump out?" Lu Cai said.

Xiao Yuan said: "The heartbeat is too loud, is it disturbing you?"

"How loud is it?" Lu Cai wondered.

In fact, he wanted to stick it to Xiao Yuanxu's heart to listen, but as soon as he moved closer, it seemed that a certain switch on the man was triggered.

Xiao Yuanxu rubbed his hair, then put his palm on the back of his head, and with a little force, sent Lu Cai towards him.

The kiss was very gentle at the beginning, Lu Cai indulged in it, and thought it would stop in time, but it didn't end for a long time.

His parents would come out from the room at any time, and Zhou Minggeng was about to go downstairs, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Sensing that he was about to retreat, Xiao Yuanxu did not let Lu Cai do what he wanted, but instead kissed him deeper.

Lu Cai leaned against the wall, couldn't help but shrink back, and at the same time rubbed his head against Xiao Yuanxu's palm.

He hummed weakly, and when he heard Zhou Minggeng walking in the stairwell wearing slippers, he became more and more frightened, and stretched out his hand to push Xiao Yuanxu twice.

It's useless, Xiao Yuanxu won't let him go.

At this moment, Lu Cai felt that he was going to be unable to breathe, and then squeezed the cloth in front of Xiao Yuanxu's body tightly, crumpling it into a ball in his hand.

"Mom and Dad, are you back?" Zhou Minggeng said lazily, "Where's Lu Cai?"

Then the parents opened the door and said, "Xiaocheng, we brought your friend back."

The so-called friend is with Lu Cai, kissing in a blind spot where they can't see.

The moment the voice fell, Lu Cai was finally let go.

With reddened ears, he wiped his mouth in a panic, watching Xiao Yuanxu smoothen his crumpled clothes slowly.

Lu Cai couldn't help but say something, Lu Mu came over and said, "Why are you standing at the door?"

Xiao Yuanxu said politely: "Auntie, Xiaolu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, I just want to get acquainted with each other again."

"Come and sit and chat slowly." Mother Lu said, "You just got off work, right? Drink some hot water to keep warm."

Xiao Yuanxu took a few steps forward, then turned his head, with a smile in his eyes, raised his slender fingers, and pointed to Lu Cai's heart from the air.

No need to say much, Lu Cai understood what he meant.

Xiao Yuanxu was saying that his heartbeat was as fast as his own at the moment.

The author has something to say: sweet come back in the next chapter.

It's finishing up! =w=
