Pure jade and gold

The car was parked in front of the original courtyard.

Yuan Rui looked down at the cake on his knees, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Why is the road built at this intersection all of a sudden? It's full of potholes, but luckily it's not broken."

Lu Zhaoan instructed, "Go in, I'll take out the gift from the trunk."

Yuan Rui nodded, and carried the cake into the courtyard first, "Mom, I'm back."

Since Lu Zhaoan returned to the Imperial Capital, he has devoted himself to the transition and integration work of the studio, and every night after work, he would "stay overnight" in the suite rented by Yuan Rui, so he has not been able to find time to get together with Yuan Puguang and other elders. get together.

Another four or five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is Meng Xuehua's birthday, which coincides with Saturday, so Lu Zhaoan and Yuan Ruiyi decided to come back after discussing it.

A table of meals has already been prepared in the dining room.

It was rare for Meng Xuehua, who had been well-dressed, to hear her own child's cry, and smiled, "You child, you are finally willing to come back. If my mother doesn't celebrate your birthday, can't I expect you to come back?"

Yuan Rui handed the cake to Aunt Chu who was on the side, and smiled at Meng Xuehua, "The studio is busy, so I'll come back to see you when I have free time? Mom, you look so good today."

"Just your sweet mouth."

Meng Xuehua smiled softly, reached out and stroked his cheek, "Why did you lose so much weight? I shouldn't have agreed with you to move out in the first place, did you not eat well by yourself?"

"The food is pretty good, don't worry about it." Yuan Rui didn't tell his past sufferings to his family.

What's more, in the past half a month, Fu Ziyu had come to cook him a friendship meal, and Lu Zhaoan had supervised him later. His weight has gone back up a bit, but it's not obvious.

Yuan Rui looked past Meng Xuehua, glanced sideways, and asked in a low voice, "Where's Dad?"

To Yuan Puguang, his father, he will always be like a mouse meeting a cat.

"Sit inside."

Meng Xuehua saw how cute he was, and couldn't help laughing, "Mom will support you on your birthday today, as long as you leave a guard on your lips, you father and son will definitely not quarrel."

Yuan Rui smirked twice, as if he had obtained some protection.

Yuan Puguang has been rigid and stubborn all his life, and only the three words "love his wife" are vividly done.

Footsteps sounded again at the courtyard door.

Lu Zhao'an came in with a congratulatory gift, "Master, I'm back. Are you and Master still in good health?"

Meng Xuehua suddenly saw the two children returning home, and smiled even more happily, "It's all right, just come back, your master is always talking about you."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Puguang came over, "What are you three standing at the door talking about?"

"……dad."

"Master."

Yuan Puguang approached, looked at Yuan Rui and Lu Zhao'an one by one, and said in a slightly relaxed tone, "Well, it looks good."

Meng Xuehua held a child in one arm, "Some people, wanting to show off their parents, sat in the dining room and refused to come out at first."

Yuan Puguang was 'off' face, but now he is not dissatisfied, "Okay, let's go in, the food is going to be cold."

The four of them entered the dining room back and forth, and sat down in their usual positions to prepare for dinner.

Maybe they learned the lesson from the last birthday, this time Yuan Puguang and Meng Xuehua did not call any relatives or friends, only a simple small family dinner.

Even the old servant, Aunt Chu, excused herself to go home after finishing her work.

Yuan Puguang asked, "Zhao'an, when did you come back from Dehua County? Why don't you go home to live?"

When Yuan Rui heard this, he raised his eyes in confusion, "Dad, do you know that Senior Brother was in Dehua County before?"

Yuan Puguang took a sip of his wine, and said in a calm tone, "I am his master, what else can I not know?"

After Lu Zhaoan settled down in a rented house in Dehua County, he once contacted Yuan Puguang privately to report his safety, expressing his intention to learn porcelain carving there.

"Oh."

Yuan Rui responded, but he couldn't tell what it was like.

It turned out that after a long time, he was the only one in the whole family who didn't know that Lu Zhao'an had gone to live and study in Dehua County for the past few months, and finally reunited only because of good luck and accidental encounters.

Lu Zhao'an's eyes stayed on Yuan Rui's face for two seconds, "Master, I just returned to Dijing for a week, and discussed with Xiao Rui to take over the work of the studio again. I have been busy with cooking these days, and I live with him at night. .”

"Cough-cough-"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Rui, who was drinking water, suddenly choked out, his face blushed in a short time with an inexplicable "guilty heart", and he glanced at Lu Zhao'an with a little coquettish energy hidden in his eyes.

Why does this person say everything in front of the elders?Also, is it so easy to make people daydream?

Lu Zhaoan lowered his head, hiding the smile in his eyes.

The two of them are not together yet, and it is not enough to tell the truth.

In order to give Yuan Rui time to adapt, he didn't do any "breaking" behavior during this period, and he just slept under the quilt at night.

I don't know what is going on in the other party's little head?One word can do that.

Meng Xuehua stretched out his hand to give Yuan Rui Shun Qi, "You child, how can you choke on your saliva?"

"No, nothing." Yuan Rui managed to suppress his choking.

Yuan Puguang's eyes lingered on the faces of the two of them, a little surprised, "After coming back this time, the relationship between your brothers and sisters is better than before."

Lu Zhao'an and Yuan Rui looked at each other, but Meng Xuehua took the call, "What do you mean better than before? When did their senior brothers have births?"

Yuan Puguang snorted with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood, "Don't hide it for them. Xiao Rui used to be awkward with Ana. He knew it was his brother, but he thought he was an enemy if he didn't know it."

"Day by day, after fighting against my father, I'm going against Zhao'an again. Thanks to Brother Zhao'an's stable temper, if this is placed in another teacher's sect, he will definitely be enmity."

"You're talking nonsense, the children are doing well." Meng Xuehua secretly gave her husband a wink, so that Yuan Rui wouldn't be unhappy and make trouble again.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Rui was not angry with Yuan Puguang this time, but admitted it frankly, "Everyone is young and ignorant, can I know that I was wrong now? I won't have any enemies with my senior brother." .”

Speaking of which, he did vent all his 'qi' on Lu Zhao'an intentionally or unintentionally before, and when he was the most messed up, he still used words like 'illegitimate child'.

In the past six months, he himself has reflected a lot in private.

Now that Lu Zhaoan is not angry with him, and is willing to come back to manage the studio together, how dare he talk nonsense.

When Yuan Puguang heard his son's sincere speech, he was a little surprised by his change of temper.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and it was rare for him to be stingy with his praise, "Yes, it seems that the six months of experience have tempered a lot of temper, and you have learned a lot from being obedient. Several uncles praised your studio for running well, indeed. Long term."

Yuan Rui has always been easy to coax.

Now it's rare to hear Yuan Puguang catching him madly. In just a few seconds, his jaw almost went up to the roof.

"Isn't that right? I've already been called 'Mr. Yuan' outside anyway, and I'm already past the age of being arrogant."

Yuan Puguang snorted and laughed twice, "You bastard, you can go to heaven with a few compliments."

Seeing the warm scene where the father and son had a rare truce, Meng Xuehua looked at Lu Zhao'an who was on the side with some surprise.

Lu Zhao'an noticed Yuan Rui's changes earlier than the elders in the family, and smiled slightly, "Master, it's your birthday today, eat more."

"Eh, good."

Without the tense atmosphere of 'a disagreement', this family dinner made everyone feel very comfortable.

After dinner.

Yuan Puguang got up first, "You all drank wine tonight, so you can stay at home. Zhao'an, I haven't seen you in half a year. Go to the tea room for a chat with Master?"

"it is good."

Meng Xuehua also stood up, "Go, master and apprentice, I will pack up."

Seeing that Yuan Puguang didn't call him, Yuan Rui naturally didn't want to go to the other party to criticize him, "Mom, I'll clean it up for you."

Meng Xuehua replied with a smile, "Okay."

The mother and son cleaned up the table, and went to the kitchen to clean the dishes. Yuan Rui, who could only help, followed Meng Xuehua obediently, taking the bowls handed over by him one after another.

"Xiao Rui, Mom really thinks you've grown up a lot."

"Mom, I'm already 23, and I should have grown up."

"You're only 23." Meng Xuehua sighed sincerely while cleaning the dishes, "Your dad and I had a hard time begging you for such a precious son. Think about it, in a few years, you will have your own family and child."

"..."

Yuan Rui paused when he took the plate, and subconsciously shied away, "I'm not very good yet."

"Yes, according to age, Zhao'an should be in front of you." Meng Xuehua thought of Lu Zhao'an, "Although your elder brother is not my own, your father and I have regarded him as our own son all these years. look at."

"This child will be thirty if he drags on, and he is not in a hurry for major events in life."

"Xiao Rui, do you have time to ask your senior brother to find out what type of girl he likes? Aunt Chu and I can help out."

Yuan Rui flicked the water on the plate indiscriminately, "What are you looking for, brother, he's not in a hurry."

Meng Xuehua heard his sudden tone, and smiled helplessly, "How do you know he's not in a hurry?"

"Senior brother is so outstanding, there are many people who like him, if he wants to find him, he is afraid that he will not be found? Mom, you should rest at home and don't be like other people's parents urging marriage."

"Besides, how easy is it to find a suitable marriage partner these days?"

Not everyone is as lucky as his good friend Shi Yunnan, who can easily catch a partner who matches the three views for a flash marriage.

Meng Xuehua remembered something and nodded, "That's right, I only heard that your cousin broke up with her date two days ago."

"..."

Yuan Rui didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn a corner, and he was dazed for two seconds, "Cousin? I remember she and her boyfriend have talked for many years, haven't they?"

He had seen it before—both of them graduated from prestigious universities, they were loving and outstanding, and they looked very right.

"Yeah, I just said that we have been talking for too long and I don't feel it, and the storefront of the partnership has also become yellow." Meng Xuehua felt sorry, "Hey, I looked so affectionate at first, but after breaking up, I became a stranger. I can't get a piece together..."

Yuan Rui listened to Meng Xuehua chatting about the daily life, and unconsciously stopped the work of wiping the dishes. For some reason, his thoughts were messed up by this matter——

No matter how loving a couple is, no matter how long they talk, they may break up, and then become strangers who do not communicate with each other?

Yuan Rui turned his gaze away and stared at the direction of the study in a daze, the sense of uncertainty in his heart was stirred up again.

"Xiao Rui? Xiao Rui?"

"what?"

"What are you thinking? This plate is almost turned into a mirror by you, and Mom didn't even hear you talking."

"Oh." Yuan Rui put down the polished plate and asked again, "Mom, what did you just say?"

Meng Xuehua drained the water in the pool, "Your dad and I will be 70 years old in a few years, it can be considered that half of our body has been buried in the ground..."

Yuan Rui frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about? You and Dad must live a long life."

Meng Xuehua smiled, maintaining a normal mind, "People are born, old, sick and die."

"My whole life with your dad, I was most worried about you. Now that you have matured and stabilized, the only hope now is that you and your senior brother can have their own families."

"Your dad and I were joking this morning. It's still a few years before we can add new faces to our family portrait."

Yuan Rui's breathing condensed slightly, unable to answer the words, "Mom, actually I..."

Before the impulsive confession could be made, footsteps sounded at the door, and Yuan Puguang and Lu Zhaoan came back after talking in the study.

Yuan Puguang was in a good mood today, but he still had a smiling face at the moment, "Xuehua, it's almost time, let the two children go back to their room to rest."

Meng Xuehua nodded, and patted Yuan Rui on the shoulder, "Xiao Rui, go back to your room."

"Oh."

Yuan Rui went out and had a face-to-face meeting with Lu Zhaoan, and the thoughts in his mind became even more chaotic.

He followed behind Lu Zhao'an without saying a word, and it didn't take long before he heard Yuan Puguang who was standing at the door of the kitchen shout, "Xiao Rui, what are you doing with Zhao'an? You haven't been home for a long time, and even your own room Forgot all?"

"..."

Yuan Rui raised his head, only to realize that he was in a daze and almost followed Lu Zhaoan into the room by turning right.

Meng Xuehua also came out to watch the fun, and said with a smile, "This kid, it's been a long time since I saw him follow his senior brother like a follower."

Facing the ridicule of his parents, Yuan Rui's cheeks felt slightly hot.

He has gotten used to sleeping with Lu Zhaoan these days, and subconsciously wants to follow him back to the room to rest.

Lu Zhao'an, who was close at hand, let out a chuckle, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Are you going back to the room with me now? Or should I leave the door open for you at night?"

It was obviously a joke, but the tone was gentle as if they were discussing something serious.

Yuan Rui's heart skipped a beat when asked, "No, no need."

I really don't know what senior brother thinks, why the words he said recently have become more and more ambiguous!

"Good night, Mom and Dad, I'm going to sleep!"

Yuan Rui quickly said a series of good nights, and before his cheeks flushed, he turned his head and entered the bedroom facing him, and closed the door forcefully with a snap.

...

Yuan Rui pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but he didn't realize until he got into bed after washing up that suddenly without Lu Zhao'an's breath surrounding him, he really couldn't fall asleep.

Yuan Rui tossed and turned trying to fall asleep, but his mind kept recalling the conversation with Meng Xuehua after dinner.

Every word and every sentence was engraved in his heart, and he couldn't even write it clean.

I don't know how long it took before Yuan Rui, who had endured to the extreme, felt a little drowsy.

He dreamed that he and Lu Zhao'an actually became lovers, holding hands and embracing, doing all the intimacy between lovers that he didn't dare to imagine at ordinary times.

But the good times didn't last long. It didn't take long for Yuan Puguang to know about the relationship between the two, and even directly severed the relationship between father and son, and was kicked out of the house.

The dream is real and chaotic.

Lu Zhao'an, who was always gentle, changed his cold face. The other party disliked him for not being good enough, casually dropped a word to break up and left him.

WeChat blocked, phone turned off, the sweetness from the lover lasted only for a moment, and then it became a stranger relationship that even brothers and sisters could not do.

He lost the luck of stumbling upon in Dehua County, and could never find Lu Zhaoan again.

...

Yuan Rui woke up suddenly from his sleep, only to realize that he was covered in cold sweat.

There was a glimmer of dawn through the gaps in the half-drawn curtains, and it was still early.

Yuan Rui pulled up the quilt that fell on one side, covered his head again, and said to himself as if seeking a sense of security, "No..."

He and his senior brother haven't crossed that line yet, and they will never become like in their dreams.

Dad, mom, and senior brother won't want him.
