The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

Ms. Lu Huaran drove a four-seater black Dodge sedan, and she let him sit in the co-pilot because of the lessons learned from Shao Ting's seasickness.Shen Lingjun put his luggage in the trunk, but there was still a suitcase that couldn't fit, so he sat in the back seat with him in his arms.

For a tall man close to 1.9 meters, the back row of this car is really wronged for him. His two legs are alive like a big knife mantis folded up and nowhere to put it.

Shaoting couldn't help looking back at him several times, the more he looked at him, the more he was amused by the way he curled up with the suitcase in his arms.

Lu Huaran also looked back, turned his head and laughed heartily, not unfamiliar with Shaoting when they met for the first time, and naturally raised the topic.

Referring to Shen Lingjun's childhood: "Ryan was taller than his peers when he was a child, and it is rare for a white boy to see him so tall."

"When they were in junior high school, they unified the school uniform. Two months later, Ryan told me, Mom, my pants are short. I said you were wearing them before, but why did they become short so quickly? He didn't say much, and I didn't feel relieved. .”

"Until the teacher called home and asked me not to let my children follow the fashion, how could I shorten the school uniform pants to expose the ankles, the weather was cold and rainy, and old people were full of joint problems."

Lu Huaran said: "When I rushed to the school, I saw that his trousers were all above his ankles. Western white people like to be gentlemen - of course not including the United States, here are all stupid big guys. I don't know that Ryan is so maverick with his ankles exposed. After going to school for a few days, some students gradually imitated it, because it made their legs look taller. The teacher checked the bad school spirit, and the source was Ryan."

"I explained for a long time that he grew too fast. The school uniform that fit him two months ago is now shortened and it is not artificial."

Speaking of this, Lu Huaran laughed out loud: "The teacher categorically doesn't believe it, saying that all your children have long legs, why are you so good at picking the local head?"

Shao Ting felt envious when he heard it, and said: "Brother's legs are indeed very long."

Lu Huaran asked him again if Ryan had hung out with many people in Shanghai, and Shaoting answered honestly.

Hearing that the child told a few stories about the two of them eating all over the restaurants in Shanghai, Lu Huaran couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Good boy, it's thanks to you who are willing to be his friend by his side."

Shao Ting was a little embarrassed: "It's my brother who plays with me. If he is willing, many people want to be friends with him."

"But his eyes are high above the top, and they are all casual acquaintances." Lu Huaran said seriously, "I often say that he has a good temper, but he is actually the most awkward. You can get along with him like this, and you don't mind if he looks polite every day and is cold in heart. , I should say thank you."

"It turns out that in my lifetime, I can also see Shen Lingjun devote so much effort to one thing."

Shaoting didn't know why, so Shen Lingjun raised his voice and shouted: "Mom!"

It is rare to bring warning and anxiety.

Lu Huaran didn't care, he sent letters to Shen Lingjun twice, and sent telegrams three or four times a month, urging her to find Teacher Watson, and urging her to find a bookseller with the cheek.

In the telegram, she asked curiously: "I've never seen you pay so much attention to anything, is this novel so good?"

Later, he asked: "A person with high vision like you can actually boast that a person is unparalleled in the world. It's really like saying something after taking the wrong medicine."

Finally, he sent a telegram: "Now you look like a flesh and blood, a living person."

Because living people have concerns, there are people and things that they don't want to let go of in this life and are reluctant to let go.

"After graduating from middle school, he applied for courses everywhere in the university. He moved from London to New York and took four or five courses. But he said he liked it, and he didn't seem to like any major."

"After graduating, his father and I each had our own reasons, and we didn't want him to run around the world as a soldier." Lu Huaran sighed, "I told him bluntly that you have no one to miss. or a career, so you can do this and never stay in one place for long."

Speaking of this, Lu Huaran took a deep look at the talented writer Xu Shaoting next to him.

Although he was thin and haggard for two months on the boat, he couldn't hide his handsome and beautiful face. This haggardness added some sickness to his beauty. He was indeed a beautiful oriental boy.

"I asked him, how long will he stay in the United States this time, do you know how he replied in the telegram?"

Shao Ting felt a little thirsty, and licked his lips to be strong and calm: "What did you answer?"

In the back row, Shen Lingjun simply jumped ahead of his mother. He said, "I said that as long as you stay in the United States to write novels for a day, I will accompany you as a translator for a day."

Lu Huaran said: "If you can't stay any longer and stop writing when you return to Hong Kong Island, what do you plan to do next?"

The carriage was silent for a moment, Shaoting's heart was beating violently, and Ms. Lu asked what he wanted to ask.

He was looking forward to some kind of answer, but he also knew that he shouldn't be cheeky enough to tie people around.He is a free person, not because Xu Shaoting regards him as his own property because of some selfishness and feelings, and naturally asks him to be by his side forever.

Ms. Lu also held her breath. She might have been mentally prepared to hear some kind of answer that might be no different from what was announced to the public.

But when it came to this point, I was still a little nervous.

This is a road that few people would choose to take. Life is not easy. As a mother, she also hopes that her children will at least reduce some hardships in the difficult life, such as not increasing the criticism and discrimination of others.

But compared to Shen Lingjun's character, she could really look down on anyone, and in the end she had no one to rely on until she died, so she had to compromise.

She also laughed at herself late at night. Compared with her failed marriage, heterosexuality seems to be not less risky.

Perhaps the true meaning and value of love lies in the soul rather than gender.

Shen Lingjun replied calmly: "Then I will go back to Hong Kong Island with Shao Ting."

Afraid that Lu Huaran would ask more questions, he simply answered in one go: "I will go wherever he goes."

Shaoting's heartbeat stopped, and he felt that this was a very bad answer in front of a mother.

But it was as if the dust had settled.

Ms. Lu was silent for a moment, then laughed softly, as if thinking of something funny: "I'm afraid your father won't be able to wait until the day you pass on the Shen family to his family."

These words were no different from being provocative. Shao Ting almost wanted to jump out of the car in embarrassment, but Lu Huaran smiled happily.

She also asked him: "Shao Ting, have you thought about how many children you will have in this life?"

Knowingly asking and probing, Shao Ting said: "I don't plan to have a child, if I meet a suitable orphan, I can consider adopting it."

Lu Huaran then said: "Your father is the most open-minded. Don't say you don't want children, even if you don't get married, I think he's going to have a good time. But don't you consider your mother's wishes?"

She knew from Xu Yanran that Xu Huaiqing's wife is also the mother of the young man in front of her, how stubborn and uncivilized and feudal.

The only son who wants to have no children in this life is probably no different from wanting the life of a feudal mother.

In the end, I heard Xu Shaoting say: "Mother? She doesn't care. She told me that free choice is the most precious thing. Whether I am married or single in this life, she hopes that I have the right to choose by myself, not in the eyes of others. In the process, they were forced to marry and have children.”

Lu Huaran was shocked immediately, and looked at the young man carefully. He spoke frankly and naturally, and he did not appear to be lying.

Xu Shaoting seemed to know that she didn't believe this, so he defended Zhang: "My mother used to be very confused, but now she starts to work as a school teacher and helps women and children. Now she has been reflecting on the fact that she did not have free choices in the first half of her life. rights, so she pushed others by herself, and she hoped that I would not be bound for half my life like her."

Lu Huaran believed it, and said inexplicably, "Lian is very lucky. His father is far away in London, and he can't go anywhere because of his big family and business."

"The sky is high enough for birds to fly." Lu Huaran smiled gloatingly, "Although Ryan is my only child, it's still refreshing to think of his father's distraught appearance a few years later."

After Lu Huaran finished speaking, Shaoting saw that the lady was really happy, and the laughter echoing in the car was very happy.

Shen Lingjun coughed, and saved some face for her mother: "My mother has such a personality...too straightforward, so what can I say. But after getting along with her for a long time, you know that it will be difficult to find someone who is easier to get along with than her. "

Shao Ting replied enviously: "No, such a character is very good, Ryan, you have a wonderful mother."

I also thought in my heart, not to mention anything else, in this era, except for Shen Lingjun's father, the parents I did meet were so enlightened that it was unbelievable compared to later generations.

After a hundred years, there are not many parents who can accept their children without getting married and having children. Xu Huaiqing, Zhang Shi, and Lu Huaran are the pioneers of the times...

On the way, Ms. Lu told Shaoting some embarrassing things about Shen Lingjun's childhood, and Shaoting listened with great interest.

When they arrived at the apartment, the two carried the cage and took the elevator upstairs. Ms. Lu saw that he liked to listen, and she talked all the way into the house, Shen Lingjun was helpless.

When Ms. Lu went to make tea, the two of them put down their luggage in the guest bedroom, took out the daily necessities and put them in order. Shen Lingjun said: "I let you know all the childish things I have done in this life, and I will never have the face to be your senior brother again." gone."

Shao Ting said: "I used to think that senior brother, you should be able to deal with people and things with ease since you were born. I never thought that when you were young, you would also climb trees to dig out bird eggs, and led your classmates to skip classes and go fishing in rivers."

Shen Lingjun said: "Not only that, but also ran into the living room in shorts, and called Mommy where my clothes are in front of Ms. Xu."

Shao Ting thought of what Xu Yanran said in the middle of the night, and his body trembled with laughter: "Auntie said you have no clothes on, and a little boy who looks like an angel ran in front of her naked."

Shen Lingjun: "I said I was wearing pants, Ms. Xu is too exaggerated!"

"Are there any photos of my childhood that I can look at?" Shao Ting suddenly thought, wondering what Shen Lingjun looked like as an angel when he was a child.

Shen Lingjun left the guest bedroom, and came in with a photo album after a while, and the two of them gathered together to look through it.From his infancy to the age of sixteen or seventeen, there are no photos.

Shen Lingjun said: "This is when I was 16 years old, and then I came to New York to go to college, completed a few courses and went to the military academy, and then went to work in the Shanghai stock market. I haven't taken daily photos for about six or seven years."

Shao Ting looked down at the handsome young man in the black and white photo, because he was still childish, but now he was more handsome and clean boy in white shirt.The eyebrows are clear and handsome, just looking at the photos, it seems that you can see the youthful vigor in the eyes.

He raised his head to look at the present Shen Lingjun again, and this person also looked at him, with all the childishness in his brows gone, with a slight gloom that had accumulated over the years, and the sharp lines of his brows and eyes were so sharp that they perfectly explained the meaning of handsome.

How did the temperament change so much, he thought quietly, but if it is better to say which one is better, the former must be the first love boy without a doubt, and the latter is probably...

Shen Lingjun saw his dark eyes, looked at him from bottom to top, with an innocent and pure expression.

He called softly: "Young court."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on that eyebrow.

I didn't dare to make mistakes after I left, and maybe I didn't want to just fall on my eyelids. At this time, I really hate the gentleman's spirit that has been engraved in my bones for more than 20 years.

The boy blinked, his cheeks flushed to his earlobes, but he said he was shy, so he simply lay in his arms.

Rubbing like a cat, he muttered, "I wish I knew you sooner, Senior Brother."

He hugged the man and said, "When Mr. Xu and Ms. Xu showed me your baby photos, I should have flown to Shanghai to find you."

The boy in his arms tugged at his clothes: "That's not the case, as long as you are seventeen or eighteen years old, come and be my brother next door."

After he finished speaking, both of them laughed, and Shao Ting thought to himself, then now Shen Lingjun probably just makes people fall in love at first sight, unconsciously indulged in this tenderness to the point where he never wants to let go.
