Late ripening

Chapter 26

Thinking of being able to stay together for more than ten days in August, Jing Yan was so excited that he held his mobile phone to do strategy all day long, wishing he could sleep with a map on his head.Lu Qian stood behind him and watched him typing, "It's so tiring to prepare in such detail, you tell me where you want to go, just rent a car and find a place to accompany you."

Jing Yan turned around and looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Didn't it be just the two of us...and it's the first time we go out together, I just want to plan it out..." "Then I'll do it after you're done." Well?" Lu Qian carried him to the table and sat down, "I'll just prepare the rest. You are responsible for packing your own small suitcase, and I will take you shopping in the afternoon."

He doesn't have any trendy fashion brands in his closet, and he still wears the solid-color short-sleeves he bought a few years ago. The summer in S city is long and sweltering. Local students sometimes even go to class wearing high school pants and kicking flip flops.Jing Yan poured all kinds of beautiful imaginations into the first time going out, and specially asked Lu Qian to accompany him to buy new clothes.

But he was really not interested in those fancy clothes with all kinds of decorative rivets, so he went shopping and bought the ones he usually wears.Lu Qian followed behind and coaxed him, "You look good in anything." Every time he saw him dangling in front of him with his thin arms and legs exposed, he always wanted to stuff him into his coat and take him away.

After packing all night in a hurry, Jing Yan arrived in Tokyo in four hours with a little airsickness.Covering his mouth and wanting to vomit, he leaned into Lu Qian's arms and drank two sips of water.The bus to the hotel was gradually full of passengers. When someone passed by, they glanced at them, or they might have glanced at them unconsciously. Jing Yan braced himself nervously and wanted to sit up straight.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qian patted him on the back and asked him, Jing Yan only came back to his senses when he heard English and Japanese gradually ringing around him, they were in a foreign country, no one knew who they were, and no one would speak directly to them in Chinese He pointed.He leaned his head back and tried to calm down the dizziness and nausea.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lu Qian took him into the room to settle down first, while Jing Yan was lying on the bed with no energy. "You go to sleep for a while to catch up on sleep, I'll go pick up the car." Jing Yan wanted to go with him a little panicked, "Just for a while, soon, when you wake up and open your eyes, I'll be by your side, okay ?"

This sleep lasted until after six o'clock, when Jing Yan woke up, his face was radiant, but Lu Qian was lying next to him with his clothes on, sleeping unconsciously.Jing Yan pushed his head into his arms to wake him up, "Why didn't you call me?" Lu Qian rubbed his face, still looking at him not soberly, "You didn't write in your plan what you have to do today of..."

"Yes." Jing Yan took out the printed itinerary from his bag and pointed it to him, "I want to take a walk." Lu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, "Does walking count as a itinerary?" "Of course forget it .” Jing Yan pulled him to wash his face sober and go out.

I want to take a walk with you, whether it is daytime or night, rainy day or sunny day, the brightly lit road or the dark alley where no one passes by, I want to hold hands with you and go for a walk, like every couple The most ordinary life.

The two of them didn't rush the schedule very much. After a few days, they even sat in Ueno Park for an afternoon looking at the flowers in the pond, and various tourists came and went to take pictures.

Lu Qian parked his car in the parking lot near Sensoji Temple, "There are a lot of people here." He frowned a little, Jing Yan has always disliked crowded places. "Go, let's go, it's hard to come here once, it's a pity not to visit a landmark scenic spot." At this time, he didn't think there were too many people, so he pulled Lu Qian to follow the direction of the flow of people.

In the temple, there is a beautiful little girl wearing a kimono to take pictures, and a couple beside them are drawing lots with great interest.The girl shook the lottery tube a few times, "No.80 Four..." She found the number on the sign, and took out a piece of paper from the drawer, "Ah...it's a bad sign..." The girl showed it to boyfriend to see. "It's okay, just tie it to the railing." Her boyfriend took the note away and muttered, "It's all for smoking and playing, don't count or count."

Lu Qian found some change, "Do you want to draw one?" Jing Yan watched the couple walk away and shook his head, "No need..." He turned his head and smiled at Lu Qian, "I think I'm lucky now It's pretty good." After speaking, he blinked again, "But I'm still going to buy you an amulet, and I also want to buy some to give to my friends."

After going around the temple twice, Jing Yan was a bit tired, so Lu Qian found a stone bench in the corner, let him sit under the shade of a tree, and blocked the sun for him on the other side.Jing Yan was wearing shorts and short sleeves, and when he sat down, there were sunburn marks on his thighs. Lu Qian took out sunscreen from his small school bag and wiped it on him, then kneaded it moderately.

He bowed his head and did these things seriously, Jing Yan took out his Polaroid to take a picture of him in the backlight. "Sneaking up on me again." Lu Qian took the photo paper that had just come out and hadn't developed yet, "How many photos have you taken of me, go back and show me." Jing Yan opened the wallet, there were not many banknotes in it, but it was thick. pile of photos.

Lu Qian took it out and took a closer look, "Why are they all mine? I'll take a picture of yours next time and put it in my wallet." Jing Yan nodded, and Lu Qian whispered something in his ear again, and he bowed his head lightly. Gently pinching his arm, "Don't say these things in such a serious place." "Huh? Now you believe this again? Didn't you want to ask for a lottery just now?"

"No." Jing Yan stared at the two shoelaces on his feet that were not tied in the same way, "I don't want to smoke because I'm afraid of bad ones. Even if I smoke for fun, I don't want to see bad ones." As long as I'm with you every minute and every second, I don't want anything to affect us.

It's not that I don't believe in the beautiful words of fate and fate, but that I have used my best luck to the present, and let me work hard for the rest of the future.

Lu Qian didn't say anything, but hugged him tighter.Jing Yan took out a small red cloth bag from the bag and handed it to him, "I only bought this one for you, it's for your health." Lu Qian touched it in his hand for a while, and carefully put it into his mouth bag.Jing Yan looked at this thing that didn't match his temperament, "What about you? Don't you believe this?"

He kissed the top of Jing Yan's hair, without directly answering his question, "I'll believe what you give."

After walking outside for a day, Lu Qian took him to eat the kaiseki cuisine that he had been thinking about trying in the evening.However, fantasies are always extraordinarily beautiful. Without saying a word, Jing Yan ate a few mouthfuls of unnamed sashimi and seafood, as well as chunks of food on ceramic plates that could not taste the raw materials. Lu Qian went back to the hotel.

"Go to Lawson and buy you fried chicken and Kanto cooking, okay?" Lu Qian coaxed him with a smile. There are convenience stores everywhere in Tokyo, and there is a store that is the same downstairs as their home in S city near the hotel.After Jing Yan came here, he went shopping almost every day, buying all kinds of snacks and drinks that he couldn't find at home.Lu Qian didn't say anything for the sake of traveling.

But Jing Yan felt that he was being treated like a child again, so he folded his arms and didn't answer. "That's because I'm hungry, you can go shopping with me." Jing Yan slowly put on his shoes and followed him to the store, while Lu Qian pushed him to the snack area. "Which peach or orange jelly is better? Choose one for me."

Jing Yan blushed slightly and stared back at him, wanting to elbow him.Lu Qian didn't back down either. He simply grabbed his hands, wrapped him in his arms, and said lazily with his chin resting on top of his head, "If you don't choose, I'll buy them all. I won't give any when I go back." you eat."

"There's someone here..." Jing Yan couldn't break free under the pressure, and didn't dare to make too much noise.A Japanese uncle in a suit after get off work was picking beer and looked at them.Jing Yan didn't dare to face the others, and tried his best to walk away, "They're all strangers, what are you afraid of?" Lu Qian changed to standing next to him and held his hand, "I'm your boyfriend, don't be afraid."

Perhaps it was because the sense of stability brought by this word was too strong, Jing Yan only hesitated for a while before boldly letting him lead her.But only when he came out to play these few days did he have the courage to try his best to ignore his guilty conscience.There is too little time to walk on the road holding hands openly, and he cherishes every opportunity to secretly put his hand in his palm.

After paying the bill and walking out of the store, Jing Yan looked up at the familiar Lawson logo.So similar to the one at the door, he suddenly had a very strong idea, "Let's take a group photo here." He took out his phone and pulled Lu Qian closer to him, "Is it here? The light doesn't seem to be Great."

"It's okay, just take a random picture." Jing Yan held up his phone, and put the two people and the convenience store in the background into the camera.The two of them seldom took selfies, and their smiles were a little dazed, and even a little blurred because of the shaking of their raised hands.Lu Qian took out his mobile phone, "Let me take a picture."

"One two——" Jing Yan showed another silly smile, Lu Qian didn't shout three, and kissed him on the cheek unexpectedly, with a bit of strength, knocking Jing Yan so hard that his eyes were closed, and the smile on his face was wider than ever. The first few pictures were more exaggerated.Lu Qian showed it to him very satisfied, and the two laughed and talked on the side of the road.

"Lawyer Lu." Someone called him behind him, and Lu Qian thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.He let go of Jing Yan, subconsciously locked the phone screen, turned his head, it was a colleague who worked with him a long time ago. "I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you also on vacation?"

The other party greeted him warmly, and Lu Qian walked a few steps to meet him. "This is my wife. The two of us came out for our honeymoon." "Congratulations." Lu Qian exchanged a few words with him, and the colleague looked around, "Are you traveling alone?"

Lu Qian was startled, he walked over to socialize completely mechanically, he didn't think about anything when he was talking, and his body put on the state that should be in the workplace to deal with it.He turned his head, Jing Yan was standing in the shadow of the closed and locked shop door next to him, not moving.

He walked over with his arm around Jing Yan's shoulder, with his hands resting on it. "It's not alone. You met him at the annual meeting before," before Lu Qian finished speaking, the other party interrupted him, "Oh, I know, that kid of your teacher, right? Hello, hello, I'm Lu Qian's colleague." He waved at Jing Yan, but Jing Yan didn't respond.

The other party didn't seem to pay attention, and joked with Lu Qian, "I thought Lawyer Lu finally took his girlfriend out for vacation, so it turned out to be with a child." Lu Qian reluctantly smiled and kept talking, and his colleagues chatted a few more words, and agreed to return home after returning home. We ate together and left with our wife.

Lu Qian didn't dare to look at Jing Yan's expression, thinking about how to coax him.However, Jing Yan didn't say anything, pulled the bag in his hand, and said lightly, "It's time to go back." The two walked back to the hotel one after the other without holding each other's hand.

Before going to bed, Lu Qian tentatively showed him his personal mobile phone, "I set the photo of the two of us as a screen." Jing Yan didn't show the disappointed or happy expression he imagined, and gave him a light grace.Lu Qian sighed, "I'm sorry."

He seemed to have said sorry too many times, and each time there were various situations and reasons, even he himself didn't want to explain anything more.Jing Yan held his face, "Are you my boyfriend?" "I am." Lu Qian looked back at him.

"What about me? Am I just your teacher's child?" Jing Yan stared at him closely, but was afraid to find a trace of hesitation and dodge from inside.He has no self-confidence to define his own identity, and can only get a little recognition from others.

But he can't ask for more now, as long as the person in front of him gives him a little affirmation once in a while, he can heal his wounds and try to climb up.Lu Qian felt as if someone had cut a hole in his heart. He held Jing Yan's slightly trembling hand, "You are also my boyfriend, you are my lover."
