This cannon fodder stand-in is not right for me [E-sports]

When Chu Li woke up again, he had already missed the plane back to Moon City.

"I asked for leave for you, you can go back tonight." Lu Jiangyuan closed the laptop, squatted beside the bed, and stroked Chu Li's hair.

"But, I can't buy a ticket back to Moon City today." Chu Li looked at his phone, very worried.

The team has a match tomorrow, if they can't get back in time, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Don't worry, I'll let them arrange a private jet to take you back." Lu Jiangyuan shook his phone and showed him the filing report of the private jet's departure, "Go and see your aunt later, you haven't gone back to see her for a long time. "

Chu Li raised his eyes, a little dumbfounded. He actually wanted to go back to see his mother, but he didn't expect that he would get sick, which delayed his original plan.

But when did Lu Jiangyuan become so careful?

Chu Li looked at Lu Jiangyuan with bright eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by himself.

"Thank you."

Lu Jiangyuan put his hand on the back of Chu Li's and held it tightly, but as if he didn't feel it was enough, he slowly inserted his fingers between his fingers and clasped them tightly.

At this moment, a warm light came in.

After Chu Li had breakfast, Lu Jiangyuan took him by the hand and walked out together. Looking at the back that was close at hand, Chu Li felt a little strange. In the past, they rarely interlocked their fingers like this, and rarely felt the temperature of each other's fingers with their hands. ,shape.

Chu Li's fingertips were slightly cool, and they slid gently on the back of the opponent's hand.

For a moment, he really wanted to hold these hands for the rest of his life.

However, the next moment he woke up.

Maybe there really should be such a person who can hold him for the rest of his life, never let go, never let go, and just lead him to the bank of Naihe Bridge like that.

But that person must not be Lu Jiangyuan.

Outside the gate of the villa, there was already a car waiting there. When Chu Li got into the car, he found that the driver was Assistant Liu whom he was familiar with. After saying hello, Chu Li turned his head and asked, "Lu Jiangyuan, where are you taking me?"

Lu Jiangyuan looked down, hooked the hook and held Chu Li's hand tightly, and then said calmly: "Lihui Huayuan."

"Mom?" Chu Li paused, he hadn't seen Chu's mother for a few months, and he missed her very much, but when he really met, he felt inexplicable mood swings in his heart.

Lu Jiangyuan seemed to have noticed the change in Chu Li's mood, and held his hand tighter, "It's okay, I'm here."

Chu Li paused for a moment, but still had that faint smile when he turned his head.

"Assistant Liu, please stop by the entrance of this supermarket, I'll buy some things and go back."

Chu Li used to prepare some necessities for her mother when she went home, but this time she didn't go back, and she didn't know if her mother was used to it or not.

He knew that after his mother was discharged from the hospital, his aunt would come to take care of him at home, and he also knew that the behind-the-scenes boss who refused to disclose his name was by his side at the moment, so his mother would definitely not be treated badly.

But some habits are not easy to change.

"No need, I bought everything for you, it's in the trunk." Lu Jiangyuan interrupted his thoughts.

Chu Li turned his head, hasn't this man been with him all the time?How can there be time for such a thing?

As if he understood Chu Li's question, Lu Jiangyuan smiled and said, "You fell asleep yesterday, so I went to buy it."

"Lu Jiangyuan..." Chu Li stared at the people around him for a while, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Our current relationship doesn't require you to do these things, and even if you do, it won't change anything."

"I wanted to do it, so I did it. I just want to give you everything I can."

Love is what it should be, without reservation.Loving someone is actually very simple, you just want to give him everything you have, even the whole world.

Chu Li didn't speak anymore, he turned his head and looked out of the window, if he used to be very moved, he hugged Lu Jiangyuan emotionally.

When the car drove into Lihui Huayuan, Lu Jiangyuan carried the prepared things all the way to the building to the door before handing them to Chu Li: "Go quickly."

Chu Li tilted his head slightly and asked, "Aren't we together?"

For a moment, Chu Li saw Lu Jiangyuan's eyes light up, but soon the light disappeared, he smiled and took half a step back: "It's not suitable, you go, I'll wait for you here."

Probably because he didn't want others to see the momentary disappointment in his eyes, Lu Jiangyuan turned around, but his fingers touched the cold and soft other hand.

"Let's go together." Chu Li nodded slightly.

Chu Li knew that Lu Jiangyuan had taken care of Mother Chu for so long.Asking someone to take care of you is also taking care of you.

Mother Chu is admiring the new clothes she just bought in front of the mirror. Recently, her son has been very filial. It seems that he has given her a little more money. He must have found a better part-time job, but he is too busy and has not come for a long time. look at her.

She looked at Aunt Liu who was sweeping the floor and tidying up her things, and raised her head a little. Her son really cared about her, knowing that she couldn't do housework, so he asked his aunt to take care of her.

It is comfortable to have someone to serve you.

Mother Chu smiled in satisfaction. She was satisfied with herself in the mirror. She was tall and well-proportioned, and the skin on her face was well maintained. The old sisters who played cards also praised her for her good skin. cellulite.

I am also satisfied with Chu Li, that's what raising a child should be like.

Thinking of this, an inappropriate image appeared in her mind for some reason. When Chu Li was taking care of her in the hospital that day, she accidentally saw Chu Li's chat interface.

Is a strange good-looking man.

He's handsome, but he's a man.

Xu Qinlan took two steps and sat back on the sofa, lost in thought.For so many years, she seems to have never seen her son talking to a girl. There are many girls who are shy when they see Chu Li, but she has never seen any one that Chu Li has really seen.

She stood up suddenly, as if remembering something, walked to the door of Chu Li's room, pressed her fingers on the handle for a while before taking a deep breath and opened the door.

Chu Li treasures his paintings the most. He didn't look at them carefully before, but now he looks at them one by one. The people in these paintings are all the same.

the same man.

Xu Qinlan grabbed the painting closest to her with one hand. She still remembered that the painting was stained last time. When Chu Li saw it, the expression on her face was as if something that was very precious to her had been stained by someone. That kind of sadness and heartache It's beyond words.

Chu Li is her son, she knows it best.He looks gentle and well-behaved, but he is actually a person who does not easily express his emotions. Maybe he still has a smile on his mouth, but his heart is already raining heavily.

I used to think that Chu Li cared about these paintings, but now that I think about it carefully, he probably cares about the people in the paintings.

While in a daze, Xu Qinlan heard some movement at the door, so she slowed down her thoughts, put the painting in her hand, and walked out.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Chu Li enter the gate.

Xu Qinlan's eyebrows and eyes were raised for a moment, and she froze on the spot with a smile.

"Mom, I'm back."

Chu Li has grown taller again, and seems to have lost some weight, but fortunately, he looks in good spirits and in a good mood.

"Xiao Li." Xu Qinlan felt her nose sore, and tears welled up without holding back.

However, Xu Qinlan's heart sank for a moment.

She saw a man following Chu Li behind him.

I recognized it at a glance, it was the man on the phone.

Pretty but a bit cold.

In a blink of an eye, she seemed to see their hands that were parted when they first entered the door.

Chu Li walked to Xu Qinlan's side and introduced to her: "Mom, this is my... friend Lu Jiangyuan, thanks to him for your injury this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

After not seeing each other for a few months, Chu Li felt a little uncontrollable tenderness in his heart. He longed for the embrace of his mother and the love of his relatives, but he also knew that some things were extravagant wishes for him.

For example, what my mother said the most since childhood was to ask him to be strong, to be sensible, and to learn how to support himself.

foster mother.

Lu Jiangyuan also stepped forward politely, smiled at Xu Qinlan, and said, "Ah Li is too polite, you have done a good job, even without my help, you can still do a good job."

you are excellent.

So good that his whole body glows, attracting countless stars to revolve around him.

Excellence is the greatest pride in his heart.

A scorching gaze shot over.

Embarrassed, Chu Li carried the bag and walked to the kitchen, looked at the prepared food inside, and said, "Mom, I'll make corn ribs soup for you."

After speaking, I started to drum up in the kitchen.

Lu Jiangyuan noticed Xu Qinlan's gaze, so he could only ask, "Auntie, why are you looking at me like this?"

Only then did Xu Qinlan come to her senses, and after thinking for a while, she lowered her voice: "Come with me."

"Or should I call you Mr. Lu?"

Xu Qinlan finally vaguely understood the reason why Chu Li gave her more money recently than before, and it must have something to do with the man in front of her.

"Auntie, just call me Lu Jiangyuan."

Xu Qinlan said "Yes", and led Lu Jiangyuan to Chu Li's room. After the two walked in, she closed the door carefully.

Lu Jiangyuan was already stunned by the scene in front of him.

The walls of this room are all paintings, and the people in those paintings are all him.

Lu Jiangyuan in his youth.

"Lu Jiangyuan, are you all painted in these paintings?" Xu Qinlan observed Lu Jiangyuan's expression, just as she thought, this man didn't know these paintings.

"These..." Lu Jiangyuan raised his hand and touched the frame, "When did he draw it?"

"There are paintings at any time, most of them were drawn by him in junior high school or high school." Xu Qinlan began to suspect that the man in front of him seemed to be crying in the next second.

"Junior high school?" Lu Jiangyuan paused, and asked incredulously, "You mean, he has been painting me since junior high school?"

"So you don't know that he has known you since junior high school?"

Xu Qinlan pointed to the nearest painting, which was signed in a corner: "Chu Li wrote the date on each painting, and he took them in order. These paintings are his treasures, and no one can touch them."

"I can't move either. I remember one time, when I accidentally stained one of them, he gave me a cold face. Later, if I hadn't had a car accident, I'm afraid he wouldn't even come to see me."

Lu Jiangyuan turned around suddenly, frowned slightly and asked, "So, that happened not long ago? Can you tell me which painting it is?"

Xu Qinlan opened a sorting box, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Lu Jiangyuan: "This is the pair. He found someone to repair it. Before I had time to frame it, I put it in it for him."

The boy in that painting has peach blossom eyes, smiling slightly, standing under the colorful apricot blossom tree, when the wind blows, the apricot blossoms dance with the wind, falling in the hair, on the clothes, and in the heart of the boy.

It turns out that you have loved me since so long ago.
