"Senior, I won't go."

Kang Ci's expression when he said this with a smile is still vivid: "How long has it been since your father and son got together? If you want to come out with him, don't choose such a rare face-to-face time. It's okay for Uncle Xu to accept it immediately. I understand you, it made everyone in a bad mood, and it was even more embarrassing for me to be there."

In fact, it was the expected answer, and Lu Chaonan only mentioned it casually, not expecting Kang Ci to agree.

During these days of dating, it can almost be said that we get along day and night.He knew that Kang Ci only looked carefree, but actually had his own considerations, and was a more stable young man than his peers.

He was overwhelmed for a while, but Kang Ci didn't follow him impulsively. Lu Chaonan was in a complicated mood but at the same time he was a little relieved.

Lu Chaonan said at that time: "After I deal with it later, I will invite you to have a meal together?"

This time Kang Ci agreed very readily: "No problem."

Because of the agreed meeting, Lu Chaonan paid a heavy price, and did not take care of the first festival after being together.Christmas is not a statutory holiday, but the atmosphere of couples has always been good. Now not only can he not go out with Kang Ci, but he can't even play games. He can only brave the freezing rain in Hongshi winter and leave school in a hurry.

Thinking that Lao Xu might want to drink, Lu Chaonan didn't drive, and when he went to the appointed restaurant, he received a QQ message from Qin Yang.

Qin Guanyue: Xiao Lu, Xiao Se and Strawberry Cake Jam are showing their affection in the rain today in Luoyang City. If you say a word, I will take someone to bury them for you, so that you can have an unforgettable Christmas.

little pumpkin:……

Pumpkin: Everything is boring

Qin Guanyue: What's wrong, avenge your husband

Qin Guanyue: Why haven't you changed your QQ nickname yet?

little pumpkin:?

Qin Guanyue: Do you like it that much? [covering mouth and laughing]

Qin Yang is a wicked person.

The chief catcher Lu Chaonan made a slip of the tongue and talked about it every day. After a long time, even Lu Chaonan himself was almost brainwashed, and he didn't bother to tell him who is the husband.

Qin Guanyue: Fight or not

Little Pumpkin: No, he said no

Little Pumpkin: Just wait for the wanted notice to pass by yourself

Qin Guanyue: Going on like this is not an option!

Qin Guanyue: I didn't take the money. The main reason is that the arrest warrant expires and there will be a next time. Why do you avoid him?Going online in the middle of the night every day, hiding in the dungeon and the main city as soon as you set off, playing a game like being a thief, is it interesting?

Pumpkin: no

Qin Guanyue: I don't understand, don't you want someone to help you out?

little pumpkin:.

Pumpkin: no

Pumpkin: I will handle it

After uttering this sentence decisively, he pressed the phone screen off, and Lu Chaonan automatically blocked Qin Yang's follow-up question marks and emoji bombardment, and gently pressed his forehead against the car window.

"I will handle it", but how to deal with it?

Xiao Se in the rain is not a mischievous student or a gangster who finds fault with nothing in reality. Through the network cable, he can't hit anyone, and kills and kills. Lu Chaonan really doesn't have the energy.

During this period of time, there are many and complicated things, and I have to find time to fall in love. I wish I could double the amount every day, and I may not be able to handle everything properly.His attitude has always been to live the three-dimensional first, and then talk about the game.When I was studying in Germany, because I was busy with my network card and my studies, I stopped writing the strategy that I persisted for so long.

The car windows are cold, and a bit of cold wind leaks through the cracks, and the bangs are long and piercing the eyes.He heard the driver turn on the local radio station, and the female anchor's voice was so sweet that she almost hated it, but it was strangely suitable for the dusk.

On a foggy day, gloomy clouds, leaves of sycamore trees piled up all over the street corners, the ground is wet, and the red and green colors of the street lamps flashed.

The left side of Hongshi’s central square is the museum, and the right side is the earliest completed Raffles City shopping center.

The taxi stopped at the southwest path, and as soon as I got off, I saw several teenagers in school uniforms coming out of the museum with cameras.The young face was full of excitement, chattering about the latest special exhibition.

When Lu Chaonan looked up, the title of the special exhibition "Great River North and South" hung on the lamppost, which seemed to be bronze wares from Xia, Shang to Warring States.He remembered that when he attended the seminar in Donghe last time, other peers greeted him to go to the famous museum in Donghe to see the so-called "treasure of the town hall", but he did not participate.

Seeing this title now, Lu Chaonan became a little interested.

He took out his mobile phone to take a picture, sent it to Kang Ci, and asked, "Do you want to come together on New Year's Day?"

Kang Ci returned quickly: "Okay! I like museums the most! Bobo!"

The enthusiasm made Lu Chaonan seem to be ignited, and he replied with a smile: "Then remember to make an appointment together."

He actually couldn't remember when he was last here.

Because of the psychological shadow brought by Xu, or his inborn artistic defects, Lu Chaonan didn't go to places like science and technology museums and museums since high school.Later, when Lu Jianming asked him to take Lu Xiaoqian for a stroll, he also found various reasons to shirk it, so that the other party half-jokingly criticized him for lacking "humanistic care".

"If you have learned your major so well, why don't you try other fields of interest? You have to be curious about the world." This is one of the few educations that Lu Jianming taught him.

Although Lu Chaonan was touched, he didn't take it too seriously.

What now?

Did his long-silent curiosity begin to gradually open up to the world just because he knew Kang Ci?

The man he met since he was a child was actually his stepfather, and Lu Chaonan had known this since he could remember.Xue Pu didn't hide it from him, but thought that telling him earlier would allow Lu Chaonan to accept the reality as soon as possible—after all, they still want Lu Xiaoqian, and fabricating lies would lead to greater misunderstandings, and it may not be a good thing for the truth to be late.

Lu Chaonan's biological father, Xu, was named Xu Xiangdong, who studied geography. For a while, Lu Chaonan wondered if his mother gave him this name to mock him.

But Ms. Xue Pu said no, and said that he thought a lot at a young age.

"That character is 'the morning of the rising sun'!"

Lu Chaonan raised his eyebrows: "Chaoyang's Chao can also be pronounced Chao."

At that time, he was in the late stage of the second disease, and he was thinking about and distorting his somewhat complicated family background all day long, as if the whole world was going to betray him——Now that I think about it, Lu Chaonan is really embarrassed, but he committed a crime for it. I have been awkward for many years, not only because of the last name.

The older he gets, the less he knows who he wants to be his real "father".

The place where Lao Xu made an appointment with him was the Italian restaurant he used to go to when he was a child, and it belonged to the group with the most established brands in Hongshi.But Lu Chaonan doesn't understand, Lao Xu has been abroad all year round, isn't he tired of western food?

He and Lao Xu haven't seen each other for two years since the time they met in Switzerland when they were studying for a master's degree.

Whether the days are long or not, they get mixed up very quickly.

When I was young, the waiter in the restaurant was an Italian man with a high nose and deep eyes. Now he is old and has become a half-boss sitting behind the bar to collect the bill.He couldn't recognize Lu Chaonan, so he rang the bell to ask someone to take him to the table if he got the reservation number right.

Before he got closer, he had already seen Xu Xiangdong sitting by the bed.

Xu Xiangdong is over fifty years old, and has artist-like flowing medium-length hair, with a little gray and white embellishment, but it can definitely be called thick.I don't know whether it's because he has been following the scientific expedition team all the year round, or because he is too self-disciplined. He has never put on weight, and he is insulated from the beer belly and the oily face. At first glance, he looks like a personable prodigal son.

But after all, the prodigal son is not young anymore, and Xu Xiangdong has also started to develop wrinkles. When he stared blankly at a withered hydrangea in a vase on the table, his eyes were sad and vicissitudes.

"Old Xu" shouted for a long time, but this was the first time that Lu Chaonan intuitively felt that he was indeed getting old.

He dragged his way over without making a sound, pulled out his chair and sat down opposite Old Xu.

Only then did the middle-aged man come back to his senses, and raised his chin at him: "Here we come."

"It's a bit of a traffic jam." Lu Chaonan said.

This is the beginning of their father-son relationship, casual and straightforward.

The meals are all ordered early in the morning, so he doesn't have to choose.Old Xu hadn't seen him for a long time, and seemed to have endless things to say, but Lu Chaonan had something on his mind—games, speeches, papers—and answered Lao Xu's various inquiries in a perfunctory manner.Fortunately, the other party didn't care too much, the topic went around three times, and finally landed where he expected.

"How is Lao Lu?" He asked, teasing a little, "Are you still at home with the children?"

Lu Chaonan concentrated on studying the grilled mushrooms: "Xiaoqian will be admitted to university next year."

Seems to have answered, but also didn't seem to, Lao Xu sneered lightly: "He's a big man, he just stays at home all day."

He doesn't think much of Lu Jianming, because the two have completely different views on family and career. Although they share similar interests in some aspects, Xu Xiangdong really can't understand Lu Jianming's choice—or in other words, once he empathizes with each other , you can't accept the same thing happening to you.

Lu Chaonan didn't express any opinions on this before, but today he was a little annoyed for no reason.

"What's wrong with staying at home." He said flatly, without raising his eyes, "Uncle also wants my mother to do what she likes. If he wants to be like you, my mother won't marry him then, right?" Bar."

Old Xu was choked by him for a moment: "No..."

Lu Chaonan deliberately chewed a piece of mushroom very hard.

"I have no prejudice against him." Old Xu searched back to make up for it. "Everyone has his own ambitions, Xiao Nan, understand? I respect him and support him, but I can't do it myself, and I don't want to do it."

Lu Chaonan thought: Is this called being unbiased?

The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Xue Pu chose to divorce precisely because he has always adhered to this principle.Xu Xiangdong studied at Yanhua University 20 years ago, and later went abroad to study for a doctorate and joined a scientific expedition team. These experiences do not seem to have changed his deep-rooted traditional thinking at all.

But Lu Chaonan didn't like to argue with Lao Xu, so he didn't say anything, and gave a muffled "um".

"Don't talk about Lao Lu, you are Ph.D. [-] this year, are you going to write a thesis soon?" Lao Xu got an affirmative answer, and sighed, "Time is so fast... the national A of the first author of the last published paper, Lao Lu Also sent a circle of friends."

Lu Chaonan didn't know about this - he didn't look at Moments at all - and asked in a daze, "What did he say?"

"Said 'Congratulations to the eldest son', but he didn't meet you." Xu Xiangdong laughed, without any sarcasm in his words, "I am also very grateful to him, seeing that you are getting better and better now, he must be very hardworking .”

Speaking of Lu Jianming, Lu Chaonan couldn't tell if he was more grateful or more apprehensive. He said "hmm": "My uncle and I get along pretty well now."

"It's a good thing to communicate with him more, he takes care of you very carefully." Xu Xiangdong affirmed, "Compared to my father, I am incompetent."

Lu Chaonan nodded, he had his own plan in mind.

Although Old Xu didn't participate in deciding what kind of person he should be, and he rarely gave instructions on his future, but he was a father after all, and he was not considered competent for many years, so he would buy him presents wherever he went.The photo of Antarctica was still on Lu Chaonan's bedside, and he was willing to confess to Lao Xu about some things.

For example, the major life decisions he has made, or at this moment, there is someone he wants to introduce to the other party.

The atmosphere is quiet and there is a violin playing in the corner of the restaurant.

"Dad." Lu Chaonan said suddenly, "I have something very important to tell you."

Since he was sensible, he opened his mouth "Old Xu" and closed his mouth "Comrade Xiangdong", and the number of times he called "Dad" can be counted on one's fingers.As soon as the word came out, Lao Xu suddenly suspected that he was deaf, and reflexively said "ah".

"There is something I want to tell you." Lu Chaonan said, without any intention of discussing it with him.

"What?" Old Xu frowned, feeling ominous.

Lu Chaonan put down the knife and fork, and leaned his hands on the corner of the table in an orderly manner, with a calm face and a solemn tone.

"I'm in love."

It was as if the fire alarm had been sounded, but now only one candle was lit, Xu Xiangdong suddenly realized: "Oh, oh... falling in love, I thought it was a big deal..."

"A love partner." Lu Chaonan didn't let him spit it out, "A man."

Lao Xu: "..."
