legal cohabitation

He Peng sent Lu Qian back downstairs to the agent's apartment.

Lu Qian waved his hand at him, said "Thank you brother" obediently and softly, then turned and went upstairs.

The agent, Lao Bai, had already returned home. When he saw Lu Qian, he wanted to say where he had gone, but when he saw the medicine bag in his hand, he froze for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Lu Qian pointed to his throat, but did not speak.

"It's so serious, it hurts?" The agent knew that Lu Qian was most annoyed to go to the hospital, and he was unwilling to go if he could, so he suddenly panicked when he went to the hospital suddenly.

"No, I just couldn't speak suddenly." Lu Qian said hoarsely.

"Why is it so serious all of a sudden! What did the doctor say?"

"Stress response."

"... What stimulated you?"

Lu Qian paused, glanced at him, and said calmly, "I saw my ex-boyfriend."

The manager trembled all over, as if facing a big enemy: "Ancestor, you must never get back together! The company will cut me off!"

"Don't worry." Lu Qian snorted and coughed again, "I'm going to sleep."

**

Early the next morning, Lu Qian simply packed his luggage and prepared to go home.

It's amazing to say that his throat healed when he came together in the morning, and he probably stayed away from that stimulating relationship.

His parents were very happy to see him go home. After all, they used to be busy, but they could see Lu Qian when they got home, but now they can't see him when they go home, and they can only see him a few times a year.

"Hey, I've lost weight, and I'm handsome." Lu's mother carried the things in his hand into the house, and looked at her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with emotion.

"You are also young and beautiful." Lu Qian said a few witty words with a smile, coaxing Mother Lu into laughing.

"Mom is really old in the past two years, and the wrinkles are really irresistible."

"Those are smile lines too, so pretty."

Lu's father asked from the side: "When will you come back to work again this time?"

"Next month, it's quite empty recently."

The family sat together and chatted for a while, such a time is rare in Lu Qian's memory, after chatting for a while, Lu's mother yawned and said that she was going to take a nap, and that was the end.

Lu Qian stayed in his room for a while, feeling a little out of breath, and strolled out to buy coffee at the coffee shop across the street.

With his current popularity, he would definitely be recognized when he went in and out of a place like a coffee shop, so he simply didn't even wear a mask and went out with only a peaked cap.

So as soon as he walked into the coffee shop, he was recognized by the people around him before he could order.

Everyone didn't gather around to sign or take a group photo, but kept taking pictures of Lu Qian. Lu Qian kept his head down and played with his mobile phone. The brim of his hat cast a shadow under his eyes. He didn't respond, as if he was used to the sound of taking pictures around him.

Speaking of which, Lu Qian's fans are well-known in the fan circle for their quality, which is inseparable from the incident of the illegitimate meal.

After Lu Qian and He Peng broke up, He Peng had no reason to care about him anymore, so Lu Qian pursued the responsibility of that girl to the end. At that time, this incident made many people lose their fans, but it also made the remaining fans very rational.

The team kept moving forward, and finally it was Lu Qian's turn.

"A glass of American style, thank you." Lu Qian said.

When he finished shopping and opened the door to go out, a woman walked up to him. Lu Qian looked at her, and the woman smiled at him first.

"What a coincidence, little brother."

Lu Qian recognized her as Chang Shanzhi from He Peng Company. She was neat and beautiful, with a strong woman style, which was easy to remember. Lu Qian immediately remembered who she was.

He smiled and greeted casually: "Sister, are you here to buy coffee too?"

"Yeah, I was too sleepy after working overtime, so I went out for a stroll."

"Working overtime on weekends is too hard." He said.

Chang Shanzhi shrugged and made a helpless expression: "Blame your brother for oppressing the employees."

The smile on Lu Qian's face paused for half a second, and soon he chuckled again, jokingly said, "How dare you squeeze a technician like you."

"That's not true." Chang Shanzhi spread his hands.

"Then you are busy, I will go first."

Lu Qian was about to leave after finishing speaking, but was stopped by Chang Shanzhi again. He turned his head in doubt and said, "Huh?" Chang Shanzhi smiled calmly: "It's nothing, just want to ask if you are free for a while, I have something to say Want to talk to you."

***

Lu Qian followed Chang Shan into the car.

"How are you doing recently? Are you busy with work?" Chang Shanzhi spoke softly, with some magical powers, an ability to relax people and tell her what's on their minds.

"Well, it's quite busy." Lu Qian took a sip of coffee, "I just got free recently."

"Your brother is also very busy. He went on a business trip again this morning. The company is now bigger, and it is even more difficult to manage. It is also very difficult for him to change from the first floor of the original business building to the whole building."

Lu Qian listened to her quietly, but his heart was still calm. After all, after such an embarrassing incident last night, he was not so easily frightened anymore.

"Really." Lu Qian responded, sitting in the posture of a pure listener.

"I had an operation some time ago, and I started busy again without resting enough."

Lu Qian was stunned: "What surgery?"

"Stomach problem, he didn't mention it in detail, but it's just a minor operation, you don't have to worry about it."

Lu Qian sighed silently, and asked again: "Sister, what are you going to talk to me about?"

Chang Shanzhi raised her eyebrows, her eyes were always on the front, she didn't look at Lu Qian, she smiled, her voice sounded like a sigh: "Lu Qian, don't make trouble with your brother, he is really difficult."

Lu Qian didn't speak, but looked at Chang Shanzhi.

Chang Shanzhi also turned his head: "He's working so hard now, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid he won't be able to take it that day. After you're gone, He Pengzhen can only focus on his work."

In the long silence, Lu Qian spoke slowly: "...I didn't quarrel with him."

"Can you tell me why you broke up?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

He didn't want to say it, and he didn't know how to say it.He couldn't see how he should go on with He Peng. The difference between them was too great. Although Lu Qian knew this from the beginning, the series of things that happened in those few days three years ago made Lu Qian despair. He didn't want He Peng to sacrifice, and he didn't want him to bear it alone.

The person he likes is so good that Lu Qian feels very wronged even if He Peng bends down a little.

He has already made He Peng bend down for him, and he can no longer make He Peng kneel down for him.

Seeing that he didn't want to say it, Chang Shanzhi didn't care: "Actually, I can probably guess it. I saw what happened on the Internet in just a few days."

Lu Qian gave a low "hmm".

"He Peng, I used to think that I didn't know him very well. After all, he is a god-like existence, you understand." Chang Shanzhi smiled at Lu Qian, "Homework comes first, career comes first, serious and unsmiling, that is The kind of person that is very difficult to get in contact with."

She spoke very relaxedly, and Lu Qian couldn't help laughing. In fact, he was unfamiliar with this kind of He Peng, and He Peng often laughed with him.

"Later, after you separated from him, I realized that he is actually an ordinary person, and he would feel uncomfortable."

Lu Qian frowned.

Chang Shanzhi looked at him and smiled: "You don't think that He Peng can live a decent life after breaking up with you, do you? You don't even know how muddled he was during that time. It really feels like he has fallen from the altar."

Lu Qian was speechless, he felt distressed.

"You are several years behind him, and you may not know what He Peng was like when he was younger."

Chang Shanzhi's voice was released very slowly, with a feeling of eloquence.

"If his classmates judge him, they will definitely feel that he is very proud, even if he is arrogant from the bottom of his heart, in fact, sometimes he is quite hated, and everyone has worked so hard to do things that he can't do well. It's very easy, so, little brother, I really want to thank you for letting me see what it's like to do things that even He Peng can't do well."

Lu Qian knew that Chang Shanzhi was joking with him, but he couldn't laugh.

"He really likes you very much, and there is nothing he can do about you. I admit that I was curious when I first saw his decadent state, but after a long time, I also feel very distressed."

Chang Shanzhi paused, and said: "God, let's stay at the altar well, and we mortals will be shocked when we come down to earth."

Lu Qian looked down, and he saw the black stain on his white sneakers that couldn't be wiped off no matter how much he wiped, it was straightforward and clear, and he could see it at a glance.

"Do you want me to bring him back to the altar?" Lu Qian smiled, but the corners of his lips turned into a wry smile.

Chang Shanzhi let out a "hmm".

"I don't have that ability, I can only smooth out his arrogance."

Chang Shanzhi frowned as if he didn't understand, but Lu Qian didn't explain much, and left after saying goodbye.

***

For the next ten days, Lu Qian rested at home.

He completely made up for the lack of sleep in the previous days. Every day, Lu's mother felt distressed when she saw that he didn't get enough sleep. .

Lu Qian's brokerage company is small in scale, and he is the only one of its first-line stars, and he is trying every means to make more money from Lu Qian.

Lu Qian was very firm on some issues of principle, and turned a blind eye to other insignificant issues. Sometimes the company would suddenly arrange a meeting or a fan meeting after he was busy. He didn't resist much. It was all directly decided by the company, and Lao Bai had no choice.

In addition, the shock of meeting He Peng again gave him a deep sense of conversion from the bottom of his heart. For He Peng, this made his whole heart sink, sinking, sinking.

All this made Lu Qian very tired.

Lu Qian slept through the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and only got up at noon to eat.

"It's true, you kid. The loud sound of firecrackers didn't wake you up yesterday, and you fell into such a deep sleep." Mother Lu said while passing the chopsticks to Lu Qian.

Lu Qian chewed the fruit: "I was too sleepy at that time, and now I'm full of sleep."

"How can you sleep better than when you were studying? Could it be some kind of illness?"

"No, I just had a physical examination last month." Lu Qian laughed, "I was just tired a while ago, and people who can sleep like me usually don't get sick."

"By the way, your father and his friend sent him two boxes of tea. You can send one box to Uncle He later."

Lu Qian was stunned for a while, and took a bite of his meal: "I'm going to play with Yu Ci and the others later."

"Then have fun and go. You really have to go. Every time your uncles and aunts come, they always ask you why you haven't come back this year. If your brother is at home, you can still visit him by the way. Are you two the best?" Can we talk?"

"..." Lu Qian ate his head sullenly, "He went out of town some time ago, so he probably won't come back."

"Your brother?"

"Ah."

"You guys got in touch so soon." Mother Lu said casually.

Lu Qian pursed his lips and said "um" again.

"Then you just send the tea, and go play with your friends after you finish."

"understood."

After dinner in the evening, Lu Qian drove to He's house by himself.

When he was about to enter the door, he was extremely nervous. After all, the memories of the last time here were things he didn't want to remember again. When Mother He opened the door and saw him, she froze in place.

"Auntie, my mother asked me to bring you tea." Lu Qian broke the silence and handed over the bag in his hand.

"Oh, oh, Qianqian is here... Auntie, it's been a long time since I saw you, have you lost weight?"

"No, I'm a few pounds heavier than that time." Lu Qian smiled.

"Come in and sit for a while, it's too cold outside."

Lu Qian wanted to leave after sending it off, but he couldn't bear to see He's mother like this. She was really old, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes crawled up her face.

Mother He asked Lu Qian to sit on the sofa for a while, and then went into the kitchen to cut fruit. Lu Qian said outside, don't be busy, Mother He smiled and said no.

She likes Lu Qian, and feels guilty towards Lu Qian for what happened at that time.

This kind of guilt made Lu Qian feel embarrassed, and he knew clearly that the truth was not like that.

"Where's my uncle?" Lu Qian asked.

"Just went out, let's go out to buy cigarettes." Mother He sat opposite Lu Qian, a little cramped, her palms kept rubbing against her pants.

"I don't know if this tea is what he likes. It was given to my dad by someone else. I don't know this kind of tea, but I guess it should be pretty good."

"Hey, the things you sent must be good." Mother He said her eyes were a little hot, "Qianqian, how are you doing recently?"

Lu Qian felt that everyone was asking him this question these days when he came back.

"That's it, it's dark when you're busy, and it's easy when you don't study." Lu Qian smiled.

"That's right. Auntie sometimes watches you on TV and thinks that we must be exhausted from all the spinning."

"Actually, it's okay." Lu Qian said.

"Hey, if it wasn't for that incident back then, you wouldn't have been running out like this. At that time... Auntie felt flustered when she thought of that incident. He Peng was too... too careless."

Lu Qian pursed his lips and lowered his head.

The irritability that had followed him for many years haunted him again.

"Auntie." Lu Qian looked at her.

"What happened back then was not what you thought it was."

After he said it, Lu Qian suddenly felt relieved.

Mother He looked at him blankly.

Lu Qian took a deep breath, lowered his head, and put his fingers between his eyebrows.

"It's not that He Peng likes me unilaterally, nor is it what he said, we, we..." Lu Qian couldn't breathe, and a ball of cotton was choked in his chest.

He finally spoke calmly and firmly: "He Peng and I were together before."

He didn't dare to look up at Mother He's expression, he just lowered his head and said intermittently what he always wanted to confess.

"Back then, it wasn't my brother who chased me, but me. I didn't know how to live or die, and I didn't know how to measure. I stuck to him like a dog's skin plaster...Auntie, you keep telling me you're sorry, but in fact I'm sorry for you...He, brother, he really It's good, and it's good for me."

"...Our relationship is not what you think it is."

There are not so many unbearable coaxing and deception, there are no victims and perpetrators, there are only two hearts that don't match so well, they collide together, startle a bright light, and illuminate the days to come for many years to come.

Mother He didn't speak for a long time, and Lu Qian just kept his head down.

Until I heard Mother He's weak voice: "You children..."

Lu Qian quietly listened to He's mother's words, only to know that He's father and mother talked about this matter later, and always felt that it shouldn't be what He Peng said. As parents, they should have the most basic understanding of their children's character. I understand, but no matter how you ask, He Peng still insists on the original wording——

His perpetrator, Lu Qian, was the victim.

"Why do you bother..." Mother He began to cry again, wiping her eyes while shaking her head, "It's also a pain for you two."

Lu Qian was silent.

"So, what about you now?" Mother He asked.

Lu Qian shook his head: "We've already left."

After talking about the truth of the year, Lu Qian can finally take a breather.

"It's been three years, and his dad and I have both accepted it. If, if it's because of your uncle and aunt that you separated, it's not..."

Lu Qian interrupted her: "No, Auntie, we have our own problems, not because of you."

Lu Qian said so, and she couldn't make any more comments. She felt really distressed seeing the two children depressed all these years.

After sitting for a while, Lu Qian got up and said goodbye.

"Come and see Auntie when you're free."

"Well, I will." Lu Qian said goodbye to He Mu, opened the door and went out.

Then he saw He Peng outside the door.

Carrying a suitcase, the world is full of dust.

"……elder brother."

What kind of evil fate is this, Lu Qian is confused.

He Peng looked at Lu Qian: "...Why are you here?"

Mother He answered for him: "Qianqian brought tea to your dad."

Lu Qian: "Auntie, I will go back first."

He left after he finished speaking, and He Peng subconsciously turned sideways to make way for him, and when Lu Qian walked a distance, He's mother raised her hand and slapped He Peng: "Qianqian told me everything about you back then." ah!"

He Peng was taken aback.

"You said that you are really serious. It's uncomfortable for the two of you to make things like this..."

Before she finished speaking, He Peng chased after Lu Qian, leaving only the lonely suitcase at the door.

***

As soon as Lu Qian walked out of the gate of the community, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw He Peng, and his footsteps involuntarily slowed down.

"Why are you out again?" Lu Qian asked him softly.

"You told my mother?"

"Ah."

"..." He Peng unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed Lu Qian's hair, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing to worry about. I'll feel at ease when I say it."

He Peng hummed: "Is your throat healed?"

"Ah, um, it's ready."

"Did you drive? Take me home." He Peng said.

Lu Qian looked up at him: "... huh?"

"I took a taxi directly from the airport, and I have to go back to the apartment... Are you free?"

Although Lu Qian felt strange in his heart, and He Peng's reason was far-fetched, but he didn't think much, just nodded and said, "Yes, the car is parked outside."

Lu Qian drove and He Peng took the car. This configuration was a little strange.

It was never in memory.

There was nothing to say along the way, but it was not embarrassing. Instead, it was a feeling of satisfaction in my heart.

Lu Qian sent He Peng to the apartment.

"arrive."

"Yeah." He Peng straightened up, "You, are you going to another place soon?"

"...Huh? I invited friends to play."

"Drink less wine."

Lu Qian sniffed: "I don't drink."

"You never came back to live, did you? Is it because of me?"

"No." Lu Qian subconsciously said, paused and added, "I'll be back in two days."

"Okay, I'll go up first."

"Ah."

Lu Qian's gaze followed He Peng, and he retracted it when he disappeared into the closed elevator.

The phone in his pocket vibrated twice, and Yu Ci sent a text message: "Brother Lu, if you're still coming or not, I'm missing you."

Lu Qian took out a cigarette, lit it, and bit it between his teeth.

After smoking a cigarette, he replied: I suddenly have something to do, you can play with yourself.

**

He Peng just took a shower.

He was the only one in the house, and he didn't wear a shirt, and he was wearing a pair of loose home pants on his lower body. His hair was still dripping with water, and kept sliding down the side of his neck.

The chest with very beautiful lines was wet and covered with a faint film of water. The water droplets slid down the waistline, and finally condensed on the waistband of the trousers, forming a puddle of small gray water.

The doorbell was rang.

"Here we come." He Peng responded, and walked over to open the door.

It's Lu Qian.
