Late ripening

After returning from Japan, the two of them once again devoted themselves to their busy study and work.Lu Qian was busy dealing with the projects piled up on hand, working overtime was already commonplace.Fortunately, Jing Yan is also very busy. After the sophomore year, he often needs to stay in the laboratory at night to take notes, and then drive to pick him up after the end.Lu Qian felt less guilty for not leaving him alone at home waiting for him.

Fang Fei and him finalized the details of several contract terms in the office. Looking at his watch, the end of today was still early, not even eight o'clock. "Would you like to pick up Jing Yan and have a meal together?" Fang Fei asked him at the door.Lu Qian stopped packing his things, "Let's wait another day, he's been busy recently, and he hasn't finished class yet."

"Okay, then tell me when you are free next time," Fang Fei opened the door indifferently, "My wife keeps asking me to thank him for bringing it back...what's that called?" "Feng Lu Apply." Lu Qian bowed his head and answered. "Oh yes, that's the thing. Remember to tell me next time you have time, I haven't seen him for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he went out, and Lu Qian sat down on the chair again, all kinds of complicated thoughts flooded his mind.The light in the office outside was turned off, and he leaned back in his chair, feeling more troubled than legal clauses.Before he could really grasp one thing to think about it, Jing Yan's WeChat message came.

I'm leaving get out of class in half an hour, will you pick me up?In fact, Lu Qian has come to pick him up every day recently, and he will tell him if he can't spare his birth, but he still likes to send himself a confirmation message every day.Lu Qian took his coat and stood up, turning off the last light in the office.

The elevator to the underground garage was broken, so he had to go around from outside the building.As soon as he reached the first floor, "Lawyer Lu—" he turned around, and it was Guan Ruipeng, a classmate whom he hadn't seen for a long time.After meeting for the first time, they contacted him intermittently two or three times, but the other company finally shelved their listing plan, and Lu Qian stopped contacting him very much.

"Long time no see." Guan Ruipeng trotted two steps to his side, Lu Qian nodded, "Long time no see." "Our company has moved to the same building as yours, I still wonder if I will meet you in the next few days." What about you." He didn't seem to have the politeness that he hasn't seen for a long time, and talked to Lu Qian enthusiastically.

Before Lu Qian could say anything politely, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "It's too late today, I'll invite you to dinner next time. I said I wanted to treat you earlier, but I'm too busy to take care of it." Lu Qian thought in his heart If you have other matters, you will return to him without thinking too much, "Is the previous listing project going to start again? You can come to the office directly to talk to me tomorrow."

Guan Ruipeng was taken aback for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "No, Lawyer Lu. I'm not looking for you for business, but I just want to catch up with my former classmates. It's quite rare to meet you in S City."

The other party has already said that, and Lu Qian is too embarrassed to say anything else, "Okay. Let's make an appointment another day." In his eyes, modern people should all know that this sentence is a vague way of refusing.Guan Ruipeng seemed to be in a good mood, waved his hand and left.

Only two floors of the science and technology building were still lit. Jing Yan finally finished writing the experiment report and was helping the other students in the group to pack up the instruments.He bent down and turned off several power sources on the ground, looked around the laboratory again, locked the door and walked out.

It started to rain a little outside, Jing Yan waited, it seemed that there was no sign of stopping.Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, so he pulled up the hood of his coat and planned to walk quickly to the school gate.The ground was a little slippery, and he walked as carefully as he could, but before he had gone far, someone pulled him from behind.

An umbrella stretched over his head, Deng Tingwei looked at him with a smile.Jing Yan was a little flustered and almost fell, but the senior sister helped him up. "Hey Jing Yan, haven't you come home so late?" "Senior sister, hello..." Jing Yan's voice was weak, "I stayed a little late to write the experiment report."

"Then you accompany me to the dormitory and I'll lend you the umbrella." Jing Yan wanted to refuse, but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.The two walked in silence for a while. He hadn't participated in club activities for a long time, and he didn't know if she saw anything.

"Did Uncle Lu tell you last time?" Deng Tingwei tilted her head and asked him tentatively. Jing Yan turned his head quickly thinking about how to answer, but Lu Qian didn't say how he solved it. He opened his mouth and said no. Make a sound.

Deng Tingwei thought that Lu Qian hadn't told him yet, so she sighed, "Oh...the confession failed last time. In fact, I also know that there must be no good results so suddenly, but my roommate even encouraged me to go crazy. Regret to death."

For some reason, Jing Yan was very envious of her courage, senior sister was always harmless, he told himself in his heart.Deng Tingwei showed the little girl's soft and pitiful expression beside her, and Jing Yan comforted her, "It's okay...he shouldn't take it to heart..."

Before finishing speaking, Deng Tingwei remembered something and became happy again, "But this semester, I will go out for an internship in my senior year. I asked my family to find me a securities company near their law firm, and even have business contacts with them, maybe You can find a chance to meet."

She talked to herself and walked two steps forward before realizing that Jing Yan had stopped, "What's wrong?" She looked at Jing Yan standing in the rain in a bit of a daze.Jing Yan clenched his fist, he didn't like what he wanted to say very much.But there are always some things that he has to do even if he doesn't like him.

"Senior sister," he walked a little forward, "I'm sorry. I'm actually in a relationship with Lu Qian." Jing Yan took a deep breath and tried to finish the sentence, "You came to me for a phone call earlier. We were not together at that time. A lot of things happened later... Anyway, I'm sorry, but I hope you don't bother him in the future, can you?"

In fact, he knew that what he said was inappropriate and inappropriate.But he couldn't use other excuses to fool his senior, he couldn't lie, he couldn't be dishonest to himself, and he couldn't replace what should have been said with those false comforts.

Jing Yan knows what it's like to like someone, anyone's liking is worthy of respect.And only the truth can respect the other party and the love you have now.

Deng Tingwei was stunned, and it took a long time to realize, "What are you talking about..." She seemed unable to digest the information, and her face became ugly.Jing Yan put the hat on again, "Go back to the dormitory early, sister. I'm leaving first, sorry."

It seems that he always does not consider the consequences when doing things by himself, and speaks out without asking Lu Qian's opinion.Jing Yan suppressed the anxiety in his heart and ran straight towards the school gate.But he felt that he had finally removed one of the many stones that weighed on his heart, and even his steps became much lighter.

It was already eight o'clock when he got in the car, Lu Qian took his schoolbag, "Have you eaten yet?" Jing Yan shook his head.Sister-in-law Yu called and said she would be back next month, her tone was a little awkward, but she was still thinking that she had made Jing Yan very happy.

"Go to a tea restaurant?" Jing Yan really likes a 24-hour tea restaurant, which serves his favorite lemon tea and fish ball rice noodles.It's just a little far away from home, and I have to drive for a while to get there every time.

The two sat down in the restaurant, surrounded by several tables of locals speaking dialects.Jing Yan was familiar with the place and the place. The two of them usually ate, and yawned while lying on the table. "Tired? Is class still full tomorrow?" Lu Qian massaged his shoulders, feeling that his shoulders and neck were stiff, and wanted him to rest for a few days.

"Yeah..." Jing Yan dragged his voice, blinked his eyes and drank his drink, "I met my senior today." "Did she ask you anything?" Lu Qian just said, and the clerk brought the food to the table At the side, he withdrew his hand, and waited for the clerk to leave before turning his head and continuing to talk to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan lowered his head and stayed for a while, "I didn't say anything, just chatted casually. Let's eat." Lu Qian put the soup bowl in front of him, and gave him a few more pieces of beef.Jing Yan chewed it as if it was not as tasty as before.

An old couple walked into the store and sat next to them. The old man seemed unhappy, and kept talking about why he had to come out to eat at such a late hour.As if she didn't hear it, the grandma told the clerk that she wanted to pack a portion of French fries and fried chicken wings to take away, and asked to put more ketchup.

Grandpa was drinking water in small sips, talking to his wife from time to time, but he patiently waited with her.Jing Yan held back a smile and poked Lu Qian to let him look aside. Lu Qian had heard it a long time ago, turned his head and pretended to be serious, "Did you hear that, don't eat fried chicken nuggets so late."

The two left with packing boxes, Jing Yan watched them walk out of the store, and murmured to himself, "What do you think will happen when we get old?" Ask questions.

Lu Qian picked up his lemon tea and took a sip, "How old do you think you are when you're so young?" ?" Jing Yan asked him urgently, hoping to get some imaginable pictures from him.

"When you are my age, I will be in my 40s... What about you, what do you think you will be doing then?" Jing Yan was easily distracted by his question, resting his chin with both hands, staring at I don't know where to let it go.

"You must still be working as a lawyer at that time. I will probably do an ordinary job. Every day I get off work earlier than you, and I will go home to prepare dinner and eat together when you come back. We have to go downstairs for a walk at night. Dog—by the way, we will raise a dog and a cat. You name one and I will name the other." He was talking about these scenes that he had conceived in his heart for a long time, and Lu Qian obediently spoke more and more Getting excited back.

"On weekends, we can watch movies at home all day without going anywhere. Or we can go for a walk around the neighborhood and see new exhibitions in art museums. What do you think?" Jing Yan poured out his thoughts, wanting to get Lu Qian's support. agree.

Lu Qian tapped his finger on the table twice, thinking about the seemingly unreachable future he mentioned. "Then when I'm old and you're still young, will you still be by my side?" Jing Yan grabbed his hand and squeezed it hard, quite dissatisfied, "Of course I will. If you can't move, I will push you wheelchair. And don’t always think of yourself as old, you’re not much older than me.”

Lu Qian smiled and kissed him, grabbing the back of his hand, "I want to exercise hard, I can't wait for you to push me, and when I get old, I will bring you to buy fried chicken nuggets and French fries, right?" Jing Yan touched his fingers The piece he kissed, pursed his lips and smiled without speaking.

Feeling better, he recalled the meeting with his senior at night. "Oh, by the way, the senior sister said that she found a company near your law firm for an internship, and she also said she wanted to find you. You are not allowed to talk to her." Jing Yan scratched Lu Qian's palm ferociously, but he didn't keep any nails. That strength is like a kitten scratching an itch.

Lu Qian was a little bit dumbfounded, and asked the waiter to pay the bill while coaxing him, "I have nothing to do with her. I won't run into her, and even if I do, I don't care about her, okay?" Jing Yan followed him out of the shop, feeling at ease A little bit, but still a little discouraged.

He opened the car door and sat on it, pinching his fingers sullenly, "I can't go out for an internship until my senior year...I really want to go to work early." Lu Qian fastened his seat belt for him, pinching his face , "When the time comes, you still have to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination. It won't be so fast."

Jing Yan tilted his head to look at him in puzzlement, "What postgraduate entrance examination? I told you before that I don't want to work after graduation." Lu Qian seemed to finally listen to what he said, frowning and resting his hands on the back of the chair , "When did you say that? Why did you decide on your own and don't discuss it with me?"
