Late ripening

When Jing Yan woke up, he felt a little cold, he closed his eyes and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the side.It was empty, and the sheets had the chill of a winter morning.He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Lu Qian had already gone to work.

I left without calling him today, probably because of something urgent.Jing Yan sat up wrapped in a quilt, his low blood pressure in the morning made him bury his face in his palms.After the slight dizziness gradually passed, he put his feet into the plush slippers next to the bed, and slowly went to the bathroom to wash and change clothes.

Mrs. Yu put the hot milk beside him, and smiled to see him having breakfast like before.The recent incidents at school made him lose his appetite, and he hasn't sat down to eat a meal made by his sister-in-law for many days.

"When's the winter vacation?" Mrs. Yu asked him while serving him warm vegetable porridge from the pot.Jing Yan thought for a while, "I'll let you go after the exam in half a month." "Do you want to go back to your hometown with your aunt this winter vacation? Don't you always want to go to Sichuan?"

Jing Yan was very happy when he heard that, "Then I'll ask him." Then he thought again, "But he can't eat chili...it must be hard to go there." Knowing who he was talking about, she curled her lips, "Why do you always think about him, we don't take him to play."

After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to the kitchen. During this period of time, she seemed to have slowly accepted the relationship, but in fact, it was more of a helplessness in her heart.Jing Yan put down the soup bowl and ran over, "Let's take him there and secretly order the spiciest hot pot for him, shall we?"

He was walking around in the kitchen like a puppy, but Mrs. Yu couldn't get around and had to say, "Okay, you have the final say." She nodded Jing Yan's forehead again, "Mr. Lu every day, Mr. Lu, I will see Mr. Lu someday What are you going to do if Mister leaves you alone?"

"I can live a good life when I go out alone." Jing Yan sat back in his chair and continued to compose the text message to be sent to Lu Qian, "But he is definitely not willing to part with it." After hearing this, Mrs. Yu was so angry that she wanted to throw away the custard bag He, Jing Yan hurriedly made a face and slipped back into the room.

After dinner, he stayed in the study to review his homework. Lu Qian's office chair was very spacious, and Jing Yan's slender legs had room to sit on it.He read a book wrapped in a blanket, his eyes glanced at his phone from time to time.

The message sent to Lu Qian in the morning has not been answered yet, the two of them are not people who always hold their phones, and it often takes a long time to reply to the message.But Jing Yan hasn't heard Lu Qian's voice since morning till now, thinking about him dully.

It's fine even if you say you're busy, Jing Yan put the phone back in his pocket.I only read five or six pages in the morning, and the review efficiency was extremely low.He guessed that Lu Qian was probably in a meeting, and thought that he would just call him in the afternoon.

No one answered the phone before leaving for class, so Jing Yan put on a pair of thick cotton socks and prepared to go out.Then he remembered what he turned around and called Mrs. Yu, "Let's make yam soup tonight, he prefers to drink that when the weather is cold." He wrapped his scarf tightly and walked to the station.

Noon in the winter sun is the most comfortable time of the day. Many students can't resist the tiredness of the afternoon nap. In addition, it is the question-and-answer class at the end of the semester, so there are only a few people in the classroom.Jing Yan couldn't help thinking about things at home, so he simply asked Yao Yihang to come to class to review.

The classroom was quiet. The teacher sat on the podium and answered questions in a low voice to the students who came up to ask questions. Outside there was only the sound of pigeons fluttering and flapping their wings.Yao Yihang became even more sleepy in this atmosphere, he put the book in front of him and threw himself face down on the table.

Jing Yan let him sleep for a while, and woke him up at the appointed time. "Get up and read.... I can't fail any more subjects this semester." Yao Yihang groaned in pain, propped his head up and forced himself to read it.

"By the way," Jing Yan casually asked him while flipping through the book, "Why did the school suddenly issue a statement? I thought they wouldn't care about these things." Yao Yihang paused as he picked up his pen, feeling a little guilty, "Maybe the influence is too great. Right. I don’t know what the Academic Affairs Office thinks...Anyway, it’s fine to clarify!”

He secretly prayed that Jing Yan didn't guess anything, and promised him not to tell Uncle Lu, but he didn't do it, and he felt somewhat guilty.But this matter was properly resolved, and guilt was nothing compared to this result.He swallowed what he wanted to say, eager to distract Jing Yan.

Not long after, he handed the phone to Jing Yan to show him something.It's a promotional poster. "What is this?" Jing Yan asked him.

"A mathematics winter camp jointly organized by several universities. My parents are going abroad for fun this year, and Song Bo and I insist on attending this. Are you going? It seems that there is a lecture given by the Peking University professor you like." Jing Yan listened His eyes lit up, and he took it over to take a closer look.

I have wanted to listen to that professor's lecture for a long time, and I have watched the videos on the Internet several times.Jing Yan was a little moved, but he was a little disappointed when he looked at the time. "It's not long after the Spring Festival...I'll go back and ask Lu Qian about his plan. He should take me out to play."

Yao Yihang shrugged, "Okay. It's too boring for me to follow Song Bo alone..." He stretched out his hand to scratch Jing Yan's chin, "You are a guy who values ​​sex more than friends." Couldn't help but smile and dodge.The teacher on the podium glanced at them and coughed twice before Yao Yihang withdrew his hand angrily.

After seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Qian still hasn't returned home.When Jing Yan entered the room, Mrs. Yu was about to leave, so he took the soup pot and put it on the stove to heat it again.Today's dishes are all Lu Qian's favorite dishes that he asked Mrs. Yu to cook, and it won't taste good if it is reheated.

He thought about it, but did nothing.He has known for a long time that Lu Qian will only miss contacting him when he is extremely busy, and going to him by himself will only increase trouble.The living room phone rang, and he ran to answer it.

"Jing Yan? Is it Jing Yan? I'm Fang Fei. Lu Qian has a dinner today, and he probably won't be able to go back until late. He asked me to tell you not to wait for him, and eat and rest early."

There was a lot of chatter on the phone, as if it was in a restaurant.Jing Yan said twice and hung up the phone, walked back to the restaurant and silently finished his bowl of soup, and after eating two green vegetables, he couldn't eat anything.He wrapped the rest of the dishes in plastic wrap and put them back in the refrigerator, and sat in the living room with his mobile phone waiting for him.

After squinting on the sofa for an unknown amount of time, Jing Yan heard the door lock rang twice.He got up and ran to the door without putting on his slippers. Lu Qian was changing his shoes while supporting the wall with one hand.

"You're back." Jing Yan went over to take his coat and hung it up. When he got closer, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body.Lu Qian seemed to be in a bad mood. Seeing him stop on his bare feet, he didn't say anything, and tugged on his tie irritably.

Jing Yan wanted to go over and help him loosen his collar, but Lu Qian grabbed his hand and let go, "I'll do it myself." Jing Yan retracted his hand and followed him to watch him go to the sofa and sit down, with one hand It looks tired on the eyelids.

"Do you want some soup? I asked Mrs. Yu to cook your favorite yam ribs. It will make you feel better after drinking." Jing Yan ran to the kitchen and felt the pot was only a little warm. "Wait a minute, it's a bit cold and I'll warm it up for you."

"No need." Lu Qian's drunken voice could be heard even across a restaurant.Jing Yan poked his head out to look at him, "But you don't feel very comfortable every time you come back from dinner parties..."

Lu Qian stood up from the sofa with an impatient tone, "I said no, I don't want to eat." He finally untied his tie and threw it aside, "I'm going to take a shower, you go to bed first." Walking to the bedroom door, he He stopped, looked back at Jing Yan, and couldn't help but say, "Put your shoes on."

Jing Yan was standing in the kitchen with the pot in his hand, he subconsciously put it away and walked back to put on his shoes.Lu Qian had already gone into the bedroom to take a shower. He opened the lid of the pot to see that there were still milky white yams and stewed pork ribs inside, but it had cooled down and a thin layer of oil floated.

He couldn't bear to throw it away, so he put it in the refrigerator, thinking that he would eat it tomorrow.It was past eleven o'clock when he turned on the phone, so late, Lu Qian must be tired and had no appetite, Jing Yan found an excuse for his bad mood, ran to another bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and obediently lay back under the quilt to wait for him.

Recently, he has developed the habit of warming Lu Qian's bed, hoping that when he lies down, he won't feel the smooth satin bedding is too cold, so that he can sleep warmly against the temperature left by him.Jing Yan tried his best to stretch his limbs under the quilt. Even though the sheets on the soles of his feet were cold, he wanted to transmit his own body temperature to every place as much as possible.

Lu Qian dawdled in the bathroom for a while and came out, all the lights outside were turned off, only a small lamp by the bed was still on.Jing Yan got back to his seat and couldn't help shivering under the quilt.Lu Qian drank a glass of water and lay down, and the person next to his pillow immediately entangled him softly and stickily.

Holding the other's arm made Jing Yan feel more at ease, he kept rubbing it there, and didn't notice that Lu Qian didn't hug him back today. "Do you have any plans for this winter vacation? Let's go to Sichuan, shall we? Sister-in-law Yu is also going back."

It was very quiet on the other side of the bed, and it took a while for a voice to respond to him. "I'm going on a business trip to do a relatively big project, so I probably don't have time." The fingers circling around him stopped, and Jing Yan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He had listened to many sentences tonight and had no time or appetite. He told himself that Lu Qian was just too tired.

"Then where are you going? I'll go with you too, okay? If you don't delay your work, I'll go out by myself and wait for you at the hotel at night." He tried his best to cheer up, trying to bring the atmosphere back to the way it was before.

He propped up his upper body and anxiously looked at Lu Qian through the small desk lamp.Lu Qian closed his eyes and frowned, as if he was even more unhappy by his words. "Why are you going with me? Does work take you there?"

After finishing speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at him, "Isn't your school having a winter camp? Today I heard from our colleague that his nephew is also going to sign up, so you can go to that." "But I don't want to go... that will take a long time , I just want to stay by your side..."

It seems that Jing Yan's upper body collapsed because of the lack of strength in his arms.Lying beside him, curled up slightly, lowering his head to an angle that he couldn't see.

"What are you doing next to me? Don't you have your own things to do? What's the matter with always participating in other people's lives. Don't be clingy when you're so old, and be independent." After speaking, Lu Qian immediately turned around and turned The lights were turned off without even glancing at the people behind them. "Go to sleep."

Lu Qian only left him a back, Jing Yan felt his fingertips tremble twice, but he didn't have the strength to move it.He shrank back to himself, the quilt was still cold.No one hugged him or kissed him good night, Jing Yan opened his eyes, thinking about what the other party said just now.

He pressed against the edge of the bed, leaving a large space for Lu Qian, afraid that he would rub against him unknowingly and make him sleep badly.It must be that I press him down every night and make him uncomfortable, it must be like this.Jing Yan leaned against the side, just turning over and falling into the distance.

The winter night was so long, he pulled the quilt up over his head little by little, so as not to wake Lu Qian up, he exhaled a little warm air for himself with his hands, the end of the bed on his side was still flat, without any trace of touching it.He didn't want to stretch his legs to keep warm, so he just fell asleep so stiffly.

The author says:

1. Fang Bo's name has been changed to Song Bo, for fear that everyone will think that he is related to Lawyer Fang. 2. Lu Qian is a very bad person to some extent.A brave person will not leave a way out for himself when he takes the first step, and a smart person will think clearly about his future path when he takes the first step.But apparently he was neither. Out of 1 ways to break up, I chose the worst one.
