Late ripening

The next morning, Jing Yan received a call from the teacher.The courses at the school are tight, and the experiments in the same group are not easy to shirk. He only asked for five days off this time, and he has to go back tomorrow.

Lu Qian was still sleeping next to him, and Jing Yan went to the bathroom and talked for a while, clutching his phone.When he came out and lay back on the bed again, Lu Qian's eyelashes moved slightly, obviously waking up.

After waking up and pretending to be asleep, Jing Yan muttered in his heart, got into his arms, and directly pressed his freshly washed cold hands against him.

The muscles in Lu Qian's chest twitched, and then he wrapped his arms around him and turned over, letting him lie on top of him.

"What are you going to do?" He opened his eyes and looked at Jing Yan, the blood in his eyes disappeared a little, and Jing Yan felt better.

It has been raining heavily outside since last night, and the weather forecast says there may be thunderstorms in the next few days.

"The teacher urged me to go back to class as soon as possible." Jing Yan leaned against Lu Qian, sullen. "I'm going back the day after tomorrow..."

Originally, he was in a bad mood because of Lu Qian's matter, and he had to leave before he could properly accompany him. Jing Yan felt uncomfortable and depressed, and felt that he hadn't played any role yet.

Lu Qian seemed to be aware of his thoughts, and touched his thin shoulders. It looked like he couldn't bear anything, but he carried most of it for him.

"It's okay. I'll see you as soon as I finish my work. When you come back from summer vacation, we will plan another trip. You can go wherever you want, and I have time."

He tried his best to talk about something worth looking forward to that wasn't too far away, Jing Yan's mood was comforted better by him, and he remembered that there was still something to do today, so he got up and took a firm bite on his neck.

"I'm going to make breakfast, get up quickly, you have to go out later."

After breakfast, Lu Qian drove him to the cemetery.The drive along the way was not smooth, and every driver was extra cautious on rainy days, until it got better outside the city.

"Is it cold?" Before getting out of the car, Lu Qian wanted to put his overcoat on him. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the weather hadn't fully warmed up yet. Jing Yan hadn't been as thin as before being brought back by his sister-in-law. Lu Qian was always worried when he was exposed outside.

Jing Yan shook his head, held his arm holding the umbrella, and followed him up the stone steps.

Lu Zhonghong's tombstone is very simple, just a simple black stone slab, except for Lu Qian's signature, there are only the words "Painter Lu Zhonghong".

This is probably the best summary of his father's life. He has no other tasks in this world, but he has accomplished this task very well. Lu Qian doesn't want to cover it up with any other vain words.

There was no one else in the cemetery at this time, the sky was gray, the rain was falling hard and fast, and the sound of falling on the umbrella seemed to puncture the umbrella.

Jing Yan stretched out his hand to give Lu Qian a bouquet of flowers in his arms, but Lu Qian didn't take it, and hugged him even tighter. There was no one around, and his voice was only whispering, but in Jing Yan's ears But so clear.

"Will you put it on?"

His words were like a sigh, and made Jing Yan's heart tingle.He wasn't quite sure what Lu Qian meant, so he turned to look at him.The moment the four eyes met, the light in Lu Qian's eyes was even wetter than the pouring rain.

Jing Yan bent down and placed the bouquet of yellow and white flowers firmly in front of the tombstone. Lu Qian pressed him against his chest. Jing Yan could feel his breathing rising and falling, but his tone was so steady.

"Dad, I brought my lover with me. I regret that I didn't tell you earlier." Lu Qian paused, "I want to say sorry to you for many things in the past."

He only said these two sentences, and the rest, if there is really another world between heaven and earth, Lu Qian thinks his father will know why he is apologizing.If not, then he doesn't want to use a few words to get forgiveness.

Standing here for a while, they went down the stairs and walked to the right for a while.The tombstone of Jing Yan's parents stood there, even though Jing Yan was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but get sore eyes when he walked past.

The last time he came here, Lu Qian was standing below waiting for him. Last year he was immersed in a world of self-pity and self-pity, and he was a mess.Standing here again, it seems like many years have passed.

Lu Qian put down another bouquet of flowers and stuffed the umbrella into Jing Yan's right hand. Most of his body was drenched in the rain, only the side holding Jing Yan was clean.

"Father..." Jing Yan started but didn't know what to say, Lu Qian felt his body trembling, so he clenched him tightly, both of them felt pain in their palms.

"Teacher, teacher's wife, I'm Lu Qian. I'm sorry that I'm only here now, making you and Jing Yan wait too long."

He remembered the time when the two of them were together, he stood at the foot of the mountain and waited for Jing Yan, he thought he was waiting for the other party, and went around, but it turned out that he was waiting for himself to come out of the prison that didn't exist.

"I will accompany him to see you every year from now on." Lu Qian bent down and bowed, Jing Yan tried his best to cover the umbrella in his direction against the wind, his eyes were cold, maybe the rain splashed on his face .

He must be apologizing to his parents, Jing Yan looked down at the man, then turned to look at the tombstone.Can you not blame him?If he can, he wants his parents to be happy for his own happiness too.

Without Lu Qian, he might have lived a more stable life, but only with him can he show himself the wind and waves at sea and the sunshine after the storm.

Lu Qian straightened up, his hair was wet, he gently wiped the water off Jing Yan's face with the back of his hand, without asking if he was crying. "go home."

When they came out of the cemetery, they all gained new life.

On the way back, the rain gradually stopped, Jing Yan was tired physically, but his heart was filled with happiness and tranquility.He kept turning his head and eyes to look at the driver with a smile, Lu Qian was always distracted by him, "What's wrong?"

"Nope," Jing Yan tugged on his seat belt, "I just like you."

Lu Qian looked straight ahead of the car, but his eyes were full of love and compassion as if looking at him, "Well, I like you too."

After arriving home, Lu Qian was busy cooking in the kitchen, Jing Yan swiped his phone, and found that the flight was canceled due to thunderstorms, and now the train ticket can only be bought until tomorrow night.He casually said something to Lu Qian, and saw Lu Qian came out with a serious face, "It's not so good at night, let's go in the daytime the day after tomorrow."

Jing Yan lay on the sofa and blinked, "But I have class the day after tomorrow afternoon, so I can't procrastinate..." He suddenly thought, "What's up tomorrow night?"

Lu Qian walked over helplessly, "You don't remember?" Before he finished speaking, the doorbell rang twice, and Jing Yan ran to open the door.

A courier boy outside the door was holding a beautiful big box, reading the list expressionlessly and emotionlessly, "Hello, the birthday cake ordered by Mr. Lu has arrived, please sign for it."
