Pure jade and gold

When the car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, Yuan Rui had already fallen asleep. The ups and downs of the day were enough to make him exhausted.

Lu Zhao'an quietly walked around to the right, opened the car door, and tried to hug Yuan Rui who was sleepy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Yuan Rui on the seat suddenly trembled.His eyes were still a little red, and he looked like a poor little rabbit who hadn't recovered.

Lu Zhaoan unbuckled his seat belt, "Don't be afraid, we're home."

"Oh……"

Yuan Rui moved his hand, and his expression changed after being hit by the involved wound.

Lu Zhaoan approached subconsciously to check, "Does it hurt?"

"No." Yuan Rui looked at Lu Zhao'an who was close at hand, feeling uncomfortable.

Because he has been working in the jade carving environment all year round, in order to calm his mind and refresh his mind, Lu Zhaoan habitually burns a little Sydney sandalwood in his work room. Over time, this smell seems to have penetrated into his soul.

Being so close, breath and smell blend together, making people feel an indescribable body heat.

"Lu Zhaoan, I'll go by myself."

"..."

Lu Zhao'an heard that he was still awkward and petty as always, so he had to lower his eyelids to give him a distance to move freely.

The distance is getting farther, and the stuffy feeling is finally gone.

Yuan Rui tried his best to stabilize his pace, and quickly returned to his room. He endured the discomfort in his body and tried to wash up briefly, but as soon as he got out of the bathroom, he saw Lu Zhaoan waiting by the bed.

The other party held the familiar medicine box again.

Yuan Rui was stunned for two seconds, before he could say his refusal, he heard Lu Zhaoan say, "Come here."

Simple two words, I don't know what kind of magic power it carries.

Yuan Rui took a deep breath, approached and sat down.

Most of the wounds were concentrated on the hands, and the palm of the right hand was the most serious. In addition, there were redness, swelling and bruises at the corners of the mouth and eyes.

Lu Zhao'an's calm face, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, was rarely dull, "Why did you fight?"

Yuan Rui thought of the broken pendant, so he said stiffly, "If you want to hit, hit it. If you want to preach, then go back to your own room as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he lay on the bed recliningly, looking like a broken can, unwilling to pay attention to the wound.

Lu Zhao'an didn't speak, but got up and walked out.

"..."

Yuan Rui stared at his leaving back, the arrogance in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and he even held his mouth down unconsciously.

Are you really leaving like this?

"Lu Zhaoan..."

Yuan Rui hesitated to speak, but finally closed his eyes resignedly, "Forget it."

Not long after I closed my eyes, there was another sound of slowed footsteps at the door.

Yuan Rui opened his eyes, only to find that Lu Zhao'an who turned back had two more things in his hand, one was a half-meter-long carrot pillow, and the other was a milk bag taken out of the refrigerator.

"doing what?"

"There are no ice packs at home, so use this for emergency." Lu Zhao'an said, sticking the milk bag to the corner of Yuan Rui's eye.

The slightly cool touch made him hiss subconsciously.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Zhao'an passed the pillow over again, "The wound will hurt a little later, you hug it and lie down."

"..."

When Yuan Rui saw the very familiar pillow in front of him, his thoughts drifted unconsciously.

During the Spring Festival when he was ten years old, he fell in love with this strange looking carrot pillow. Seeing that he liked it, Lu Zhaoan specially bought it for him.

Later, as Yuan Rui got older, he didn't take it with him in the first year of college, but when he returned, he found it was gone, and he forgot it over time.

Unexpectedly, this pillow was taken back by Lu Zhao'an, and now the color has washed a little pale, but it can still be used.

"Who wants to sleep with this thing, it's too childish."

Yuan Rui, who came back to his thoughts, complained, but the body's natural reaction was faster than his thoughts. After he finished speaking, he held a milk ice bag in one hand and hugged the pillow in the other...

Inexplicably cute.

A smile flashed across Lu Zhaoan's eyes, "Lie down."

Yuan Rui was a little embarrassed by being 'slapped in the face' by himself, and after a vague reply, he lay down obediently.

Lu Zhaoan sat on the edge of the bed, and then opened the medicine box further.

Yuan Rui took advantage of him to rummage through the space of the sterile cotton swab, and secretly glanced at him, until his eyes almost collided with a car, he buried half of his face in the pillow as if 'covering his ears and stealing the bell'.

Vision is temporarily "closed", and other senses are infinitely magnified.

The wrist was re-clamped, and the fingertips that had been holding the carving knife all year round had already formed a thick layer of calluses, which always aroused a different kind of tingling sensation when it passed over the skin of the wrist.

In this case, the tingling sensation of wound disinfection has become a foil.

Yuan Rui's breathing subconsciously took half a beat, and he was caught by Lu Zhaoan without thinking, "It hurts?"

Yuan Rui pretended not to hear, trying to pretend to be asleep.

Lu Zhaoan treated the wound meticulously. Apart from the occasional, tolerable tingling sensation, Yuan Rui gradually became sleepy in this atmosphere.

This jade carving took most of the day, and there was another dispute before the dinner started, and then there was a "drunk fight" in the nightclub.

While drowsy, Yuan Rui seemed to hear the rustling of Lu Zhaoan packing the medicine box, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids again.

Lu Zhao'an carefully took away the dropped milk bag, and applied the ointment for reducing swelling on Yuan Rui's eyes, then picked up the messy quilt inside, and covered Yuan Rui's body securely.

Probably because he felt this kind of gentle treatment in his sleep, Yuan Rui lost the resistance and arrogance he had when he was awake, and instead had a trace of dependence hidden in his bones.

He subconsciously searched for the smell beside him, tilted his head, his chin was still resting on the pillow and refused to leave, "Um..."

Brother, good night.

Like when he was a child, Lu Zhaoan tentatively rubbed Yuan Rui's brows with his fingertips, seeing that he fell asleep peacefully and did not resist, the smile on the corner of his mouth became evident.

"Rui Rui, good night."

After Lu Zhaoan left Yuan Rui's bedroom, he didn't choose to go back to his room to rest. He went back outside the courtyard and picked up a few pieces of the pendant in the car.

Although the pendant was shattered to pieces, fortunately Yuan Rui took all the fragments back, and the original pattern can still be seen when pieced together.

In fact, the texture of this piece of jade is not the best. For those of them who have been soaking in the pile of jade and jade all day long, it is not a pity to lose it, but as long as you think about the meaning of this pendant to Yuan Rui...

Lu Zhaoan sighed, and took all the things back to his workshop.

Although the interlacing is like a mountain, he can still do some simple repair procedures.

...

The sky gradually turned white.

Yuan Puguang, who is used to getting up early, just arrived at the backyard, and found that there was still a light in the workshop on the west side. As soon as he approached, Lu Zhaoan inside happened to open the door.

The master and apprentice had a face-to-face meeting early in the morning.

Lu Zhaoan immediately restrained the tiredness in his eyes, and nodded in greeting, "Master, good morning."

"Zhaoan, you haven't slept all night?"

"When I get busy, I forget the time." Lu Zhao'an answered briefly, then changed his mind and shouted again, "Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"You said."

Lu Zhao'an thought about his words, "Master, Xiao Rui's age is when his self-esteem and drive are at his strongest. From now on, you..."

"Okay, I know what you're going to say." Yuan Puguang interrupted him, the anger of last night was gone on his face, "Your teacher's wife has been talking about me all night, I know it well."

"Zhao'an, your teacher and I only got a son like him when we were in our forties, how could we not wish him well?"

Yuan Puguang thought of Yuan Rui's talent in jade carving, and sighed, "Compared to other parents of the same age, how many days can we spend with him and protect him at our age?"

Lu Zhao'an's eyebrows and eyes were serious, "Master, there will be a long time to come..."

"He can't learn jade carving well, he doesn't have the skills to get involved, and he doesn't show much interest in the management of the Yuan family. He can still dawdle now, but what about in the future?"

"I'm protecting him. It should be the property left to him by you and the teacher's wife. I will not take any of it." Lu Zhao'an replied.

Yuan Puguang smiled, how could he not trust the character of his apprentice, "Zhao'an, you are too old, and you will have your own family and children in the future."

One or two years of mutual protection is okay, five or ten years of mutual protection is not enough, but what about after that?

"Forget it, I'm old, so I shouldn't talk about it in front of you young people. Yuan's jade carving has been going downhill in recent years. How many works can I carve with my old bones? How much capital can I save for him? "

Lu Zhao'an didn't answer, but frowned even tighter.

The current Yuan family must find a new way out.

Yuan Puguang took two steps closer and said, "Don't say such frustrating words early in the morning. It's only six o'clock. Go back and catch up on sleep so you won't be tired all day today."

"Well, thank you Master."

……

When Yuan Rui woke up, his whole body felt unbearably sore, and his brain was so dizzy that it was about to explode.

He groaned twice with a pale face, and the next second he heard the door open, "Xiao Rui?"

"mom……"

Yuan Rui squinted one side of his eyes, and there was a little tenderness in his voice.

Meng Xuehua learned about last night's situation from Lu Zhao'an, so she was really worried and planned to check on Yuan Rui's situation, but happened to bump into her son and woke up.

She worriedly looked at Yuan Rui's disfigured face, wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it, "You child, have you learned how to go out and fight with others? It's all over now, alas, this bruised one has suffered."

Yuan Rui recalled the experience of last night, feeling a little guilty, "Did Lu Zhaoan tell you? Then Dad..."

"He doesn't know yet."

Hearing Yuan Rui's dry voice, Meng Xuehua immediately got up and went out to pour him a glass of water.

After a short while, Yuan Rui could barely open his eyes, "Thank you, Mom."

"Xiao Rui."

Meng Xuehua looked at his son's hand, and said distressedly and complicatedly, "Did you feel wronged last night? Your father spoke a little harshly. Mom apologized to you on his behalf. Don't take it to heart."

Yuan Rui took another sip of warm water, "Mom, what are you apologizing for? I'm fine. Dad is right. I'm useless. I've embarrassed him all these years."

"how could be?"

Meng Xuehua touched the back of his hand, and gently affirmed, "In the eyes of your father and me, you have always been a very obedient and worry-free child."

"Xiao Rui, our mother and son said behind closed doors, your father and I are not as young and open-minded as other parents, especially your father, he has been buried in jade carvings all his life, he is not open-minded, the older generation It is said that you want your child to become a dragon, so he is very strict with you on this matter."

"..."

Yuan Rui pursed his lips, but didn't answer.

Meng Xuehua continued, "What's wrong? I've never listened to these words."

"In my opinion, our Xiaorui is already better than other children of the same age. If you randomly drag someone of the same age on the street, let alone carving jade, I'm afraid you can't even tell the model of the carving knife."

"You started carving things when you were six years old, and you can recognize all kinds of jade before you are ten years old."

Yuan Rui snorted a smile, "Mom, you close your eyes and praise like this, that's why Dad always says you dote on me."

"What do you want to do with him?" Meng Xuehua muttered in a low voice, "I got my precious son after being pregnant in October, so I have to pamper him as much as I want."

"Xiao Rui, in Mom's heart, Zhao'an is very good, but you are definitely not bad, do you understand?"

"Ah."

Yuan Rui responded, and the gloom in his heart dissipated.

"Mom, I actually prepared a present for Dad."

Yuan Rui couldn't help but took out the massage pillow hidden in the closet, and explained awkwardly, "The things Lu Zhaoan gave yesterday were so good, I'm afraid that taking out my own gift will make Dad feel ashamed in front of Uncle Sun .”

Meng Xuehua's heart softened for a while, "Silly boy, it's fine if you want it, how can a gift be divided into good and bad?"

"If you ask me, this thing is the most practical. Your dad has had bad shoulders and neck problems in the past two years. It's just right to use this before going to bed." She took the massage pillow and did not hide her praise.

"Show it to your dad later. That old antique swore last night that you didn't prepare a gift. I want to see where he put his old face."

The second half of the sentence is obviously mostly a joke.

The corners of Yuan Rui's mouth curled up, but he was still embarrassed to face Yuan Puguang directly, "Mom, give it to him for me, I'm afraid Dad is still angry, and it will be bad if he gets stiff again."

"it is good."

Meng Xuehua responded, and patted Yuan Rui on the shoulder instead, "It's past nine o'clock, you pack up and come out for breakfast."

"Ah."

...

After all, Yuan Rui is a bit concerned about face.

When he looked in the mirror and saw his painted face, he still couldn't resist putting on a full set of cover-ups. He put on his peaked cap, sunglasses, and mask to make sure he didn't miss a single thing before he dared to go out for breakfast.

Yuan's family's breakfast is usually fixed at around 07:30. Yuan Rui thought that there were no other people in the dining room at this point, but he didn't expect to enter the dining room to take a look——

Everyone except Yuan Puguang was still sitting around, especially Lu Zhaoan, who actually had breakfast at this point.

Aunt Chu, the servant, looked at the well-dressed Yuan Rui, and was stunned for a few seconds before she dared to admit it, "Xiao Rui, what are you doing?"

"Ahem, good morning Aunt Chu, I, I accidentally fell last night..." Yuan Rui approached slowly, and sat down in an empty seat across from Lu Zhaoan.

Lu Zhaoan's eyes fell on his face, as if he could see through all the shields and directly hit his injury, "Is it better? I have to take another medicine when I come back tonight."

Yuan Rui recalled the contact last night in a trance, and his mouth was stiff, "No need to take medicine, I'm young, and I'm recovering quickly."

Just as he was talking, Meng Xuehua came out with a bowl of millet porridge, "You child, how do you eat while wearing a mask? Take it off soon."

Yuan Rui followed suit honestly, and changed the subject, "Mom, where's my dad?"

"After taking the gift, I went to show off to Uncle Sun next door in high spirits."

Yuan Rui couldn't believe it, "Huh? Really?"

"What are you cheating on?"

Meng Xuehua sat down in the empty seat between the two brothers, and said with a smile, "The presents from the two of you brothers and sisters have all been sent to his heart, can you not go out and show off?"

Yuan Rui's eyes hidden under the sunglasses showed complacency, and he took a sip of millet porridge with forgetfulness, and was immediately beaten back to his original shape by the wound on the corner of his mouth.

"Hush-"

"Be careful, drink slowly." Lu Zhaoan's reminder rang almost at the same time, obviously paying attention to his movements all the time.

Yuan Rui responded, and now he has learned his lesson and drank slowly.

Meng Xuehua asked Aunt Chu to bring some side dishes, and then seized the opportunity to talk to Lu Zhaoan, "Zhaoan, how did you think about what the teacher told you two days ago?"

Yuan Rui immediately pricked up his ears, and his eyes were constantly glancing sideways through the shade of his sunglasses.

Lu Zhao'an was silent for two seconds, then smiled helplessly, "Master, I'm not in a hurry right now."

"I'm not in a hurry now, so when are you going to be in a hurry? I'm looking at 28." Meng Xuehua insisted, "Your master and I plan to gain your fame and get promoted to a higher level sooner."

"..."

Yuan Rui subconsciously bit his chopsticks.

Aunt Chu handed the side dish to Yuan Rui, and sat on the side to join the lobbying camp, "Zhao'an, that Miss Shen is very pretty, she is 25 years old, she is a design student, she matches you very well. "

"cut."

what the hell.

Yuan Rui subconsciously uttered a sound, and when he realized it, he immediately covered it up by grunting as he drank porridge.

Meng Xuehua and Aunt Chu who were nearby failed to notice Yuan Rui's reaction, and continued to happily persuade Lu Zhaoan to meet this excellent Miss Shen.

"It's not necessary for you to make a decision. It's good for you young people to have a chance to get in touch. Whether it's suitable or not is up to you to decide."

"Or did you secretly talk about the object and haven't told your family yet? Zhao'an, this..."

Yuan Rui secretly paid attention to Lu Zhao'an, who was silent again and again, and took two bites of the side dish, feeling that the pickled radish had lost its usual taste.

— stab it.

He stood up again, and the movement was so loud that the two elders stopped at the same time.

Meng Xuehua asked, "Xiao Rui, what are you doing?"

"..."

Yuan Rui was stuck for two seconds, and he didn't even think about the purpose of this move. He was afraid that the atmosphere would be too embarrassing, so he made a lame excuse for the first time.

"Lu Zhao'an, have you eaten well? Didn't you tell me to take me to the market today to learn something? You..."

Yuan Rui gave Shang Lu Zhao'an a rare surprised look, and felt even more guilty, "I'm done eating, hurry up!"

After speaking, he sprinted out the door like a rabbit.

The curve of Lu Zhaoan's lips rose, and he got up together, "Master, Aunt Chu, you really don't have to worry about me, I don't have any plans for now."

"I'm still busy today, let's go first."

Meng Xuehua looked at the figures of the two children going out one after the other, and caught a glimpse of Yuan Rui who had eaten half a bowl of millet porridge, and couldn't understand it.

"The sun is coming out from the west, and this kid Xiaorui actually wants to follow Zhao'an to the market to study?"

Aunt Chu nodded, then shook her head again, "Yes, we asked Zhao'an, but he escaped faster than his senior brother."
