just like it

"I've decided." Jiang Miao said.

Luo Yuchuan said, "Yes."

"Then I'm calling."

"let's hit."

Jiang Miao took the phone, took a deep breath, opened the address book, found the number, and clicked call.

After a while, the call was connected, and Jiang Ze'an's unexpected voice came from the phone: "Jiang Miao?"

"Dad..." Jiang Miao called out, then looked at Luo Yuchuan again.

Luo Yuchuan gave him an encouraging and comforting look.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ze'an asked.

Jiang Miao said, "On my birthday, can we go to Miyuan Restaurant for dinner?"

Jiang Ze'an froze for a moment, and said, "Okay, okay."

It sounds like he is very happy.

Jiang Ze'an said again: "Let me reserve a seat."

Jiang Miao hurriedly said, "I'll order it."

Jiang Ze'an didn't insist: "Okay, you can book it. I'm still out on a business trip and I'll be back in two days. Hey, why did you think of eating there? I didn't even know they were still open."

"Well, I just want to eat their food."

Jiang Zhe'an told Jiang Miao to message him after the booking was made, and to meet again at that time, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Jiang Miao held the phone in a daze for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief and put the phone down.

"Did you often go to that restaurant for dinner?" Luo Yuchuan said.

"Ah?" Jiang Miao was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, "No, just before...my dad took me to eat once or twice."

Luo Yuchuan nodded, without asking any more questions, he took a piece of lotus root from the boiling pot and gave it to Jiang Miao.

Neither of them wanted to eat out today, so they went to the supermarket to buy hot pot dishes and came back to Luo Yuchuan's house to eat. Although the weather was hot, eating hot pot with the air conditioner on was quite appetizing.

The two were just chatting casually. Luo Yuchuan knew that he had just helped Zhao Yiran and the others make up the rest of the shots that day, so he casually asked how long it would take to finish the post-production. eat with him.

Probably because he thought of the unpleasantness with Jiang Yan that day again.

Luo Yuchuan saw that Jiang Miao picked up the "Wang Laoji" in front of him and took another sip. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't expect that drinking herbal tea would actually have the effect of strengthening his courage.

Jiang Miao took a meatball and put it in Luo Yuchuan's bowl, and said, "Miyuan, do you know that restaurant?"

Luo Yuchuan said: "I know, it's an old restaurant, but I haven't eaten there yet. Is it delicious?"

Jiang Miao stopped the chopsticks and thought for a while, then said: "It should be okay, I don't remember much, I was still young when my dad took me there, but if I can drive it until now, it must have a certain level and reputation. "

Luo Yuchuan was guessing just now that Jiang Miao chose that restaurant because Jiang Ze'an had taken him there before, and there might be some dishes that suit his taste so that he has a deep memory.

From what I heard now, Jiang Miao didn't have much impression of the dishes, and the reason was so simple that Jiang Ze'an took him there.

The reason why he can remember it deeply is probably because there are not many places Jiang Ze'an took him to eat.

Luo Yuchuan unconsciously thought of Qiao Ruige's "poor little boy". He looked at Jiang Miao and put another piece of beef into Jiang Miao's bowl.

"There is a movie theater next to that store, and there is also a commercial pedestrian street. There are some very unique shops. After dinner, we can go to the movies nearby, or just go shopping, okay?" Jiang Miao said.

Luo Yuchuan didn't expect that he would even consider this step. Looking at his expression, he was not only more relaxed than before calling Jiang Ze'an, but even looked forward and joyful.

He smiled softly and said, "Okay."

Although Jiang Miao didn't mention it to him, Luo Yuchuan could tell that Jiang Miao had been hesitating about calling Jiang Ze'an.

And he felt that the decision to have dinner with Jiang Ze'an was not just decided, Jiang Miao's hesitation was more like "calling" itself.

I really don't know how bad the communication between their father and son is.Luo Yuchuan thought.

Or in other words, how big is the unresolvable contradiction between them.

That's why Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief after making the phone call, like letting go of a big rock in his heart.But Luo Yuchuan was also happy for Jiang Miao.

A phone call or a meal may not be able to resolve any conflicts, but one step forward can lead to a change, not to mention that it seems to be changing in a good direction at present.

After eating, it was almost nine o'clock. Jiang Miao stood on the balcony and looked at the sky. The air was very stuffy, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The stars and the moon were hidden, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"I'm going back, it won't be convenient when it rains later." Jiang Miao turned into the living room and said.

Luo Yuchuan also looked outside and said, "I'll drive you, there's no inconvenience."

Jiang Miao went over and kissed Luo Yuchuan on the cheek, and said with a smile, "But I'm afraid you'll encounter heavy rain on the way back."

Luo Yuchuan looked at him and smiled, didn't say anything, and turned his head towards the entrance.

Jiang Miao went over to change his shoes, and Luo Yuchuan followed slowly, asking casually, "How much do you pay for a month's rent?"

"One thousand and six." Jiang Miao bent down and pulled up the heels of his shoes.

"One thousand and six?"

"That's right." Jiang Miao changed her shoes, stood up straight, and stomped her feet.

"Then you might as well rent me here."

Jiang Miao was raising her hand to take the backpack hanging by the door, when she heard this, she couldn't help turning to look at Luo Yuchuan.

Luo Yuchuan leaned against the wall with folded arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Don't be kidding." Jiang Miao felt flustered for no reason.

"I'm not kidding. Look at my place. The house is better than yours. It's also close to your current studio. You can seriously consider it." Luo Yuchuan said seriously.

Jiang Miao sized up his expression, except for being serious, he couldn't see anything unusual, and was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond.

Luo Yuchuan took a step forward, raised his hand to rub his hair, gently pinched his ears, and said, "Besides, if you live here, you can have more than one driver, you can also have more than one cook, and... I still like you that much."

"Ah..." Jiang Miao was really dumbfounded. Luo Yuchuan is... an invitation to live together?

Luo Yuchuan gently tugged at his earlobe, picked up the car keys on the shoe cabinet, and said, "Let's go."

"……Um?"

what happened?You were still sending out invitations just now, so what kind of plot is going to leave now?

Luo Yuchuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you can think about it slowly."

"I'm not nervous." Jiang Miao insisted.

Luo Yuchuan pushed him to open the door and go out: "My face is so red."

"...Senior, your face is also red."

"No."

"I see it."

"You read it wrong."

It took more than two months to make a collection of excellent students for Yuan Kuohai, and finally arranged and bound a sample booklet. Luo Yuchuan was going to take it to Yuan Kuohai for a final review, and sent it to be printed if there was no problem.

He called Yuan Kuohai. The old man was very happy and said, "If you have nothing to do today, come over today and have dinner together. Your wife and I are the only ones at home."

Luo Yuchuan thought that he had nothing else to do today, so he agreed, and was about to hang up the phone, when the old man said again: "Hey, I heard Yingying say that you have a boyfriend?"

Luo Yuchuan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he and Jiang Miao would meet Yuan Yingying and Jiang Hao in the supermarket that day, and Yuan Yingying would tell the old man about it later.

He didn't mind letting the old man know, anyway, this matter would have to be said sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Really?" Yuan Kuohai asked.

"Ah, yes." Luo Yuchuan said.

"Stinky boy, do you still want to hide it from me if I don't ask?" Yuan Kuohai expressed his dissatisfaction, and laughed a few times heartily, "Bring it for us to have a look."

"Well, okay."

Luo Yuchuan went to pick up Jiang Miao after work, and when Jiang Miao got into the car and sat down, Luo Yuchuan said, "I'm going to Mr. Yuan's house for dinner today, and I'll give him a sample booklet."

"Oh... hey, isn't it good for me to go?" Jiang Miao hesitated. Although he had been to Yuan Kuohai's house a few times, his relationship was not as close as Luo Yuchuan was with them.

"It's okay, I've said it."

Since Luo Yuchuan said so, Jiang Miao didn't think much about it, and when he arrived at the door of Yuan Kuohai's house, he followed Luo Yuchuan and waited for him to knock on the door.

Soon the door opened, and it was Yuan Kuohai who came to open the door. While greeting Luo Yuchuan, he said, "Your mistress is still cooking, first come and kill two dishes with me."

Jiang Miao hurriedly leaned over to say hello to the old man: "Hello, Teacher Yuan."

"Oh, Xiao Jiang is here too, come in, come in." Yuan Kuohai greeted with a smile, turned and walked into the house.

After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Jiang Miao, and then at Luo Yuchuan.

Luo Yuchuan was helping Jiang Miao get slippers from the shoe cabinet to change, and took Jiang Miao's backpack and put it on the shoe stool in the entrance.

Yuan Kuohai suddenly said: "It turns out...it's you."

After Jiang Miao changed his shoes, he raised his head and met Yuan Kuohai's gaze, and was stunned: "It's me."

Yuan Kuohai laughed: "Very good, very good, old Xie..."

He turned around and walked to the kitchen door while shouting: "Xiao Chuan is here, and Xiao Jiang is also here."

"Xiao Jiang?" Xie Yunfang didn't seem to react, she came out of the kitchen with a plate of fried vegetables, handed the plate of vegetables to Yuan Kuohai, and looked towards the door.

"Master's wife is good." Luo Yuchuan said.

"Master's wife is good." Jiang Miao continued.

Xie Yunfang was also taken aback, and then laughed: "So it's you, okay, okay, hey, sit down for a while, I'll cook two more dishes, Xiao Jiang, tell my teacher what you want to eat."

Jiang Miao was a little confused: "I can do it, you don't need to trouble too much, Mrs.

"No trouble, no trouble, Xiao Chuan, take Xiao Jiang to wash his hands, sit down for a while, and let me see what other dishes are available... Hey, Xiao Jiang, do you like Kung Pao Chicken?"

"Ah, okay."

"Then cook another Kung Pao Chicken, hehehe..." Xie Yunfang happily entered the kitchen again.

One Yuan Kuohai is like this, and then Xie Yunfang is also like this. What does the unexpected and surprising "So it's you" mean?

Jiang Miao followed Luo Yuchuan to the bathroom to wash his hands in confusion and confusion, tugged at Luo Yuchuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Senior, teacher, what's going on?"

"Huh? Please be happy to see us." Luo Yuchuan wiped the hand sanitizer on his hands and lathered up, then turned around and took Jiang Miao's hand to help him rub it.

Jiang Miao quickly withdrew her hand, turned her head to look outside, frowned and said, "What are you doing? Teacher and the others are still outside."

Luo Yuchuan had a slight smile on his face: "Didn't I tell you? Teacher, they all know about me."

"Huh? ... oh."

"The teacher asked me to bring my boyfriend to show them, and I agreed." Luo Yuchuan said nonchalantly while continuing to grab Jiang Miao's hand and rub it for him.

"Oh...huh??" Jiang Miao stared at Luo Yuchuan with wide eyes, "You...you..."

Luo Yuchuan finally couldn't help smiling, and whispered, "What about me? Didn't I just bring you here? Come, flush."

He took Jiang Miao's hand and put it under the faucet to rinse, but Jiang Miao broke away from him, blushing, and had to lower his voice: "Why didn't you tell me? I wasn't prepared at all!"

Luo Yuchuan looked at the water thrown up by Jiang Miao on his clothes, turned off the water, turned around and leaned against the sink, and said with a smile, "I won't tell you, because I'm afraid you will be nervous?"

Jiang Miao froze for a moment, and was speechless for a moment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Miao felt that Luo Yuchuan was right after thinking about it.

Tell him in advance that he will probably struggle to see the teacher first, and then come to the door full of nervousness and anxiety that he doesn't know whether the teacher will be satisfied with him.

He glanced at Luo Yuchuan dissatisfied, stepped forward to push him away, and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

Luo Yuchuan approached him, still whispering: "Are you not nervous at all now?"

Jiang Miao didn't speak. She washed her hands and pulled a tissue to dry them. Her lips were slightly pouted, silently expressing her little emotions.

He's not nervous now, but panicked.I'm still a little embarrassed.

The last time he came, he was still a student and a good friend of Mr. Jiang's photography.

Now, he is Luo Yuchuan's "boyfriend".

Luo Yuchuan also washed his hands, dried them with a paper towel, leaned forward and threw the paper into the trash can, and leaned close to Jiang Miao, saying, "Don't be afraid, they like you."

Jiang Miao blinked and looked at Luo Yuchuan stubbornly. Luo Yuchuan looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "If you do this again, I'll kiss you."

Jiang Miao choked for breath, quickly pushed Luo Yuchuan away and walked out.Luo Yuchuan suppressed a smile, shook his head and followed.

Yuan Kuohai had already sat on the sofa and set up the chessboard. Seeing the two people coming out, he quickly waved: "Xiao Chuan, come and play a game with me, hurry up."

The meal was much easier than Jiang Miao imagined.He thought that he would be asked some embarrassing questions, but he didn't.

Yuan Kuohai poured two glasses of wine, one for himself and one for Jiang Miao: "Xiao Chuan wants to drive, so let us have a drink."

Jiang Miao quickly picked up the cup: "I should respect you."

Yuan Kuohai waved his hand: "What respect, what about this glass of wine, that is to say, from now on, like Xiao Chuan, you will be part of our family, understand?"

Jiang Miao was stunned holding the cup.

Xie Yunfang also poured herself a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "I'll replace wine with tea."

Luo Yuchuan also picked up the cup: "Then I do the same."

Yuan Kuohai: "Haha, okay, everyone come together."

Xie Yunfang looked at Jiang Miao: "Xiao Jiang, don't be restrained, we have long hoped that Xiao Chuan can find someone to live with, but I didn't expect him to find you, haha, Lao Yuan and I are very happy, you are a good boy, Xiao Chuan is also a good boy, you two will definitely be able to..."

Xie Yunfang said with red eye circles, she hurriedly turned her head away to calm down, Yuan Kuohai patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to her, woman, it's made of water, and you need to sprinkle some golden beans every now and then. Happy, happy."

Xie Yunfang slapped his hand away reproachfully, then raised her glass to Jiang Miao and Luo Yuchuan: "Come on, let's toast."

"cheers!"

After dinner, they played a game of chess with Yuan Kuohai before they left.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Miao patted her flushed cheeks and said, "Mr. Yuan's wine is quite strong. It's been so long, it seems it hasn't gone away."

Luo Yuchuan looked at him, then touched his forehead: "Are you dizzy?"

"I'm not dizzy, I just feel my face is a little hot."

Luo Yuchuan chuckled: "Is this for drinking, or for pleasure?"

Jiang Miao leaned back in the chair and smiled silently. After a while, he said, "Hey, did we meet the parents just now?"

Luo Yuchuan was starting the car, thought for a while and said, "Forget it."

Jiang Miao laughed with her eyes closed.

While driving the car out, Luo Yuchuan glanced at him: "What's wrong? I've been having fun all this time."

"It's nothing, it's just that I found out that there's nothing to be afraid of when I meet my parents."

"Ah."

"Teacher Yuan and his wife have always liked me."

Luo Yuchuan looked at him and suppressed a smile: "Yes, I like you."

"Hey," Jiang Miao opened one eye and looked at him, "You like me too."

"Yes, I like you the most."

Jiang Miao closed her eyes in satisfaction and dozed off in peace.

It was Jiang Miao's birthday in a blink of an eye, so he booked a table in the restaurant in advance and sent a message to Jiang Ze'an.Jiang Ze'an replied that he had returned from a business trip and would go on time.

The appointment was for dinner, and Luo Yuchuan had been taking Jiang Miao out to play since the morning.

The two went to the amusement park.

Although the weather was hot and there were many people, it did not affect the two of them enthusiastically playing one project after another.

I had some fast food at the amusement park at noon, and continued to play in the afternoon until almost four o'clock before Luo Yuchuan drove Jiang Miao to Miyuan.

The appointment with Jiang Ze'an was at 05:30, and Jiang Miao arrived just a few minutes after five o'clock. He found his own table under the guidance of the waiter, sat down and ordered a glass of water first, and told the waiter that he would order later.

He looked up to another table in the distance.

By the window, Luo Yuchuan asked for a small table for two to sit with, holding the menu in his hand, and looking up at him, meeting his gaze, he smiled.

Jiang Miao also smiled, lowered her head and took another sip of water.

At first he didn't think about asking Luo Yuchuan to accompany him, but for some reason, the closer the agreed time was, the more nervous he felt.

In the second half of the amusement park, Luo Yuchuan noticed his nervousness, so Luo Yuchuan suggested that he go too and accompany him in secret.

Jiang Miao thought this proposal was good, Luo Yuchuan didn't need to contact Jiang Ze'an, and Jiang Ze'an would not know of Luo Yuchuan's existence.

Although they might meet one day, and although seeing Yuan Kuohai and his wife filled him with optimism, Jiang Miao felt that it was not the right time for Luo Yuchuan to face Jiang Ze'an.

Time passed quickly, and it was 05:30, but Jiang Ze'an did not show up.

Jiang Miao was a little uneasy.

Jiang Ze'an was a punctual person, but he didn't come at the appointed time, it could only be because of some accident.But why not tell him?

Jiang Miao glanced at the restaurant door from time to time, and then stared at the phone, afraid of missing some messages, he was also hesitating whether to call and ask.

A message was received on the phone from Luo Yuchuan.

-What's wrong?It's already 05:30.

Obviously Luo Yuchuan saw his uneasiness.

Jiang Miao replied: My dad is usually very punctual.

Luo Yuchuan came back soon: call.

Jiang Miao understood what Luo Yuchuan meant, so instead of sitting here thinking about it, it's better to ask clearly.

He collected himself and dialed Jiang Ze'an's number.

The bell rang for a long time before it was picked up over there.

"Dad..." Jiang Miao hurriedly called out.

There was no answer for a while, so Jiang Miao called out again.

"Stop shouting, he doesn't want to answer your call." A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Miao immediately clenched the phone: "Why are you? Where's my dad?"

The woman sneered: "Are you still ashamed to ask your dad? Don't you know what you did to make him angry?"
