what are you blushing

Chapter 25 Growing Up

25

"Have you changed your clothes yet?" Lu Linchuan asked as he put on a black overcoat.

"Okay." When Jiang Yuan answered, he put on his hat facing the mirror in the bathroom, then stuffed his soft ears into the hat and hid it, walked out the door, and put his hand into Lu Linchuan's very consciously .

Lu Linchuan took his hand and pulled his hat down to make it more stable.

As soon as he went out, a gust of cold wind blew in his face. Jiang Yuan subconsciously shrunk his neck, then tied the scarf tighter, continued to hold Lu Linchuan's hand, looked up at him and said, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Go to a fun place." Lu Linchuan looked down at the map on his phone. He was not familiar with the city, so he could only learn from the experience shared by others on the Internet.

He first took Jiang Yuan to take a taxi to the most famous food street in the city - the stalls in the food street stretch as far as the eye can see, and the people coming and going seem to have no end, all kinds of flavors are mixed together, weaving into one A web of wonderful smells enveloped them invisibly.

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened: "Brother, there's a lot of food here!"

Lu Linchuan smiled, gently squeezed the hand in his palm, and said, "Snacks."

But if you like snacks, you love to eat, and you are really picky.The spicy and delicious grilled skewers won’t take a second glance, and the fried chicken full of tempting aroma won’t take a look away. After walking for ten minutes, the first one lucky enough to be selected by Jiang Yuan is a mediocre one. stall.

The stall sells roasted sweet potatoes, which are quite large and hot, and they are served with a bowl of warm soy milk.

Lu Linchuan dried it for a while before peeling off the crispy skin of the sweet potato and handing it to Jiang Yuan.

Smelling the sweet smell, Jiang Yuan couldn't wait to take a bite, the surface was a bit cooler, but the inside was still hot, Jiang Yuan's tongue was scalded unexpectedly, he breathed out, and then tasted the sweet and glutinous taste.

"What's the rush, no one will grab you." Lu Linchuan lightly scratched his nose.

Jiang Yuan laughed, blew on the steaming sweet potato, and handed it to Lu Linchuan: "Brother, this is so sweet! Eat this!"

Lu Linchuan tilted his head, bent slightly, took a bite of the hand he handed over, and said in his expectant eyes: "Mmm, sweet."

Jiang Yuan, who was affirmed, laughed again, and continued to nibble on the hot sweet potato in his hand.

He loves to laugh so much.

Lu Linchuan said in his heart.

He will laugh when he hears interesting stories, he will laugh when he eats delicious food, he will laugh when he holds his hand, and he will laugh when he is praised... If he didn't know his past, Lu Linchuan would mistakenly think that he is actually just an ordinary man. Tongtong children grow up in an environment full of love, so they can show their sincerity to everyone without reservation, and share their joy with others without hesitation.

—but it’s not.Although he doesn't know what he suffered in the laboratory, the large and small scars on his body are enough to explain the pain he has suffered, and how carefully Jiang Yun should guard him so that he does not let him in such an environment Lost his innocent and beautiful heart.

Or, the current life is very precious to Jiang Yuan, he knows everything, so he doesn't look back at the past, just keeps moving forward, doesn't dwell on, doesn't care about the pain of the past, to see and cherish those things he never had. The scenery I have seen.

But no matter which one it is, it makes Lu Linchuan feel inexplicably uncomfortable, especially when he sees Jiang Yuan's smile every time, he can't tell what he feels in his heart.Maybe there is the gratification because Jiang Yuan has maintained a beautiful heart, maybe there is also the distress that Jiang Yuan is too sensible and well-behaved, maybe there is also the sadness that he has a completely different personality from his completely different experience...

They both accepted Jiang Yun's guardianship, but one of them is not good at words and is good at suppressing himself, while the other will reveal his heart without reservation at any time.

After eating at the food street, Lu Linchuan bought a lot of snacks, and then took Jiang Yuan to the city library—it happened that the library held an annual story sharing meeting today, and Jiang Yuan might like it very much.

The sharing meeting was held in the lobby on the first floor, and most of the people who came and went were adults with children. In the center was a temporary stage, on which a child stood, telling a short story he had written vividly.

"It's amazing!" Jiang Yuan stared at the little boy standing on the stage with bright eyes. He was telling a story about a little friend and a big white duck.

After Jiang Yuan finished listening, he applauded along with other children and adults in the audience.

Lu Linchuan looked at his radiant expression and asked, "Do you want to go up and try?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan bent his eyes and said expectantly: "Is it okay? Can I go up too?"

"Well." Lu Linchuan understood that this story sharing meeting has a temporary registration method besides those who have already registered, but it will be the turn of the temporary registration children after all the children who have already registered are on stage. First come, first come first. in vain.

"Brother, I want to go." Jiang Yuan tugged at the corner of Lu Linchuan's clothes.

Lu Linchuan: "Okay."

Lu Linchuan signed up for him and got a sign with numbers on it. The numbers are the order of appearance.

The children on the stage got up and down, and while waiting, Jiang Yuan was also listening carefully to the stories they told.Lu Linchuan couldn't help poking his face and said, "Aren't you nervous?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Not nervous."

"Really?" Maybe it was because his face was too soft, Lu Linchuan couldn't help poking it twice more.

"Really." Jiang Yuan let him poke, but he looked up at him seriously, "I'm doing what I like, why am I nervous?"

Lu Linchuan was stunned for a second, then smiled lightly, and pinched the fur ball on his hat.

Sure enough, he was just a child.

But only children would say such things.They don't think about whether they can win an award, they don't care about the eyes of the audience, and they don't care about whether they are ashamed on the stage... Many times they don't ask the cause and the result, they only know the process, and the process That is, they know that what they are doing now is what they like to do.

——Without any other ingredients, just doing what you want to do.

When a person thinks too much, he loses the fun of doing what he likes.

When Jiang Yuan went backstage to prepare, Lu Linchuan tidied up his attire, and said like Jiang Yuan cheering him up during a basketball game: "Come on, Yuan Yuan is also the most powerful."

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes and smiled.

"Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit who yearned for the outside world every day, but the big rabbit said to him, there are many wolves in the outside world, and you have no ability to deal with them now. The little rabbit said, when I grow up, right? Are you capable?"

Jiang Yuan stood on the stage and spoke slowly, his voice was clean and soft, full of the innocence and childishness of a child.

"The big rabbit smiled and didn't answer, but asked the little rabbit, why do you want to grow up?"

"The little rabbit thought for a while and said, because he can do many things he likes when he grows up!"

"The big rabbit said, but when you grow up, you may not have time to do what you like, and there may be all kinds of things and people to hinder you from doing what you like."

"Then when I grow up, I can eat a lot of delicious food! The little rabbit said again."

"But there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get something, you need to exchange it with something of the same value. If you want to eat a candy or a cake, human beings have to make money to buy it, but you may need a lot of carrots to get it. Big The rabbit answered again."

"The little rabbit thought for a while, and said, then I grow up, I can play as much as I want, and no one can restrict me!"

"The big rabbit said, but when you grow up, you won't like to play anymore, because there are many more important things waiting for you to do than play, and you will no longer focus on playing."

"Why? So, I won't be me when I grow up, so why do so many people want to grow up? The little rabbit feels very strange."

"The big rabbit smiled, gently touched the little rabbit's head, and said, maybe when he grows up, he can protect the people he wants to protect."

"The little rabbit said without hesitation, then I will grow up!"

There was applause from the audience, Jiang Yuan bowed, and was taken off the stage by the staff, the moment he saw Lu Linchuan, he immediately ran over, "Brother, I'm done!"

"Yeah. Well said." Lu Linchuan gently rubbed his head through the hat.

It's just a cute little story without too much embellishment, but Lu Linchuan feels distressed inexplicably.

Maybe the little rabbit and the big rabbit in the story are not him and Jiang Yun, but there must be shadows from the past, and it is for this reason that Lu Linchuan feels that this simple and cute story is not very cute.

"You can choose not to grow up." Lu Linchuan said while leading Jiang Yuan.

Because I will protect you.

Maybe it was because his voice was too soft, Jiang Yuan tilted his head, and before he could speak, he was soon attracted by the scene in front of him——

It happened to be evening when I came out of the library, and the afterglow of the setting sun turned half of the sky red.In the cold winter, it is rare to see such a dazzling sunset.Among them was a very large and thick cloud, which covered half of the setting sun, and the rosy light reflected from behind the cloud, coating its edges with a layer of golden light.

"Brother, look at that cloud, it looks like a rabbit!" Jiang Yuan tugged at Lu Linchuan's sleeve and pointed at the cloud.

"Yeah." Lu Linchuan looked at the thick and soft cloud in the sky, took out his phone and took a photo.But that cloud rabbit is actually not intuitive, and it takes a little imagination to see that it is a rabbit.

"Look, that cloud really looks like a rabbit!" said a girl behind Lu Linchuan.Jiang Yuan turned his head, wanting to see someone with the same opinion as him.

Then I heard her next sentence: "Braised rabbit head! It must be delicious!"

Jiang Yuan:? ? ?

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lu Linchuan couldn't help laughing, poked his face, and said, "Rabbits are very cute, no one would want to eat them."

After dinner, Lu Linchuan took Jiang Yuan to watch a movie. When the lights dimmed, he could feel Jiang Yuan's body stiffen for a moment, then he leaned over quietly and grabbed his hand.

Maybe it was because of fear, Lu Linchuan thought about not looking at it, and took him away directly, but Jiang Yuan held his hand tightly, and whispered: "Brother, wait for me, I will get used to it soon."

Lu Linchuan was stunned for a second, then grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand instead.The movie was a lighthearted and cheerful animation, but he suddenly lost interest in watching it.

He suddenly remembered that when Jiang Yuan first arrived, everything around him was unfamiliar. When a person was suddenly in a completely unfamiliar environment that he had never experienced before, it would be a lie to say that he did not feel any anxiety, but Even in this situation, Jiang Yuan never showed any resistance—what he thought was, to adapt.

When encountering an environment that makes him fearful and uneasy, his first reaction is not to run away, but to adapt—this instinct that has become a habit, it is hard for Lu Linchuan to stop thinking about it. An environment that makes him feel very uneasy, but he has no way to escape, the only way is to adapt.

He didn't know if it was good or bad, but if Jiang Yuan said he was afraid, then he would take him away no matter what.

Lu Linchuan was still tangled in his heart, but Jiang Yuan was able to get used to it. He was watching the movie with concentration, and completely lost the tension and anxiety when the light dimmed at first—but he still held Lu Linchuan's hand.

The movie wasn't long, and when it ended, the sky just darkened and the air was cold, and the two of them were walking back to the hotel.

Something lightly fell on Lu Linchuan's face, which was cold and wet. Before she could react, Jiang Yuan suddenly said happily: "Snow! Brother, it's snowing!"

Lu Linchuan raised his head, and there were indeed thin snowflakes dancing in the air, which seemed to add a bit of haziness to the night.

"You still know it's snow." Lu Linchuan said with a smile.

Jiang Yuan also laughed, bouncing around beside him like a happy little rabbit.

"Brother, look!" Jiang Yuan spread out his hands, holding the wet snow in his palm, and said seriously: "Every snowflake is a dream of the sky. Catch them before you, so that the unrealized dream of the sky will become a magical force that will help the person who catches him realize his dream."

Lu Linchuan smiled. He really didn't know how this kid had so many cute thoughts, cute and innocent, simple and bright.

"Yeah." Lu Linchuan said softly with a smile, "Then what did Yuanyuan want them to fulfill for you?"

Jiang Yuan bent his eyes and said without hesitation: "I hope that my brother, Aunt Meng, Uncle Lu, and Brother Jiayu and Brother Youyou can be happy every day!"

Jiang Yuan took another bouquet of snowflakes, and said childishly but earnestly enough: "I also hope to be with my brother forever, called 'forever' forever!"
