The Third Rose

One day in the second semester of the second year of high school, Lu Hao ran away from home because of a quarrel with his mother.

Lu Hao ran to Chen Xingze's house angrily, and kept a litter for a week, not even going to school.Zhao Shan confirmed that Lu Hao was with Chen Xingze the first time he ran away, and then let her go.

Knowing that Chen Xingze has a good relationship with Lu Hao, Wu Xingzhi entertained him warmly and advised him to go home and reconcile with his parents every day.

"Your mother is also planning for your future."

"No matter! I just won't go!"

Wu Xingzhi pulled Chen Xingze, "You persuade him too."

When Wu Xingzhi said this, Lu Hao immediately glared at Chen Xingze, his gaze seemed to say, "Do you dare to persuade him to try?"

Chen Xingze always gave up with a dry laugh.

The reason Lu Hao quarreled with Zhao Shan was that Zhao Shan wanted to send him abroad.This was actually decided early in the morning. When the school first started, Zhao Shan told the head teacher Xie Dingnan not to worry about Lu Hao's studies, let him live happily in school, and his future career has already been arranged at home.

Lu Hao didn't know the sufferings of the world since he was a child, and grew up laughing and laughing all the way.Zhao Shan had prepared everything for him, and he was willing to accept it.Lu Hao also said in his first year of high school that he was looking forward to going to the United States because he could watch NBA games live.

Who would have thought that Chen Xingze would come out halfway...

After closing the door, Chen Xingze came to Lu Hao who was sitting on the bedside sullenly.

"Stop arguing with your mother."

"Humph!"

"She's doing it for your own good too."

"Chen Xingze!" Lu Hao couldn't listen to the persuasion at all, and said angrily, "Is that why you want to separate from me?"

"I don't want to."

"I see you really want to!"

"how can that be possible."

"Then you still persuade me to go abroad!"

"It's not an option for you to keep stalemate like this."

"It's not a solution. No matter how capable my mother is, I can't go to a foreign university without taking TOEFL and IELTS. If I don't take the test, what can she do to me?"

"Don't make such a fuss."

"Chen Xingze!"

In a short conversation, Chen Xingze had already been yelled at twice by Lu Hao. Seeing Lu Hao's dangerous expression, Chen Xingze shut up obediently.

Regarding the matter of Lu Hao going abroad, Chen Xingze actually had an idea in his heart, but since the beginning of the relationship, he has been deliberately avoiding this topic.It seems that if you don't think about it, this day will not come.

Chen Xingze occasionally felt that the scene where the two were together and one had to go abroad was very similar to the scene in a TV series where the couple was torn apart by the vicious mother-in-law.According to the development of the TV series, the couple should join forces to fight against the evil mother-in-law next, and then achieve complete success.

It's a pity that life is not a series, and Zhao Shan is not an evil force.In fact, she has never interfered with anything since they dated for almost a year. She let them go crazy and play.And Lu Hao's plan to go abroad was not made for Chen Xingze, Zhao Shan was just being a competent mother from the beginning to the end.

Finally, after more than ten days of tossing, Zhao Shan asked Chen Xingze to meet.When Chen Xingze received Zhao Shan's call, he didn't feel much, but a sentence appeared in his mind - "Sure enough, we are still here".

Zhao Shan chose to meet on the weekend, and Chen Xingze lied to Lu Hao that he was going to take a professional class and secretly ran away to become a monk.

Zhao Shan and Chen Xingze met in a coffee shop. Although they had made all the mental preparations, when the critical moment came, Chen Xingze still became nervous.

Zhao Shan is a little fatter than before, and looks more kind.

"You should also know Lu Hao. He is so naive, his grades are not good, and he has no future in the domestic college entrance examination. He promised well before that he would take the exam and study abroad, so I ignored him. I didn't expect him to like it. You like it so much."

Throughout the conversation, Zhao Shan spoke softly, as if she was afraid of hurting Chen Xingze.

"But there are only a few key points in life. I don't want Lu Hao to go the wrong way at this time. I hope you can understand me, and I hope you can persuade him. He will definitely listen to you more than me. You are a Good boy, Auntie knows that you feel uncomfortable, but I can only ask you for help."

Chen Xingze kept his head down, not daring to look at Zhao Shan, and he didn't take a sip of the coffee in front of him.

There was a piece of music that he had never heard before in the coffee shop. It was an ensemble of piano and cello, with a slow and melodious melody.Chen Xingze only recently started playing the cello.In the early days, he liked the guitar and violin, which are gorgeous and youthful instruments, and then gradually, he liked simple melodies and heavy instruments more and more.

"Auntie..." Chen Xingze looked down at the foam in the coffee, and asked Zhao Shan the question that had been bothering him all this time, "Why didn't you stop us from being together in the first place?"

Zhao Shan was quiet, and said slowly: "I think... as for people, the most precious thing is experience. Whether it is you or Lu Hao, for you, such experience is only possible at this age. Da Yue has no chance. And Auntie also believes in your character, so I will not interfere with you, and I can promise you that even after Lu Hao goes abroad, everything will go with the flow."

He obviously didn't drink coffee, and he heard only gentle words, but Chen Xingze's hands were still shaking slightly.

Zhao Shan went on to say: "But I also hope that if Lu Hao really changes, you don't hate him. You are all good boys, and what you have paid is worth it. Auntie is someone who has experienced it. I can assure you that this paragraph Feelings will become your talismans in the future."

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Chen Xingze couldn't bear it anymore, he lowered his head, weeping in the warm afternoon sun.

After returning, Chen Xingze had a long talk with Lu Hao.He knew that direct persuasion was useless, so he adopted a curve to save the country.

"You go, anyway, I was not in school when I was in the third year of high school."

"Huh? Where are you going when you're not at school?"

"Go to Beijing and study professional courses."

These words did not lie to Lu Hao. Wu Xingzhi and Chen He did mention to Chen Xingze that they would send him to a professional art examination school in Beijing, but they only gave a suggestion. At that time, Chen Xingze did not agree because he was reluctant to part with Lu Hao.

Lu Hao looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

Chen Xingze: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask my mother."

Lu Hao sighed bitterly.

Chen Xingze persuaded him in a good voice: "You take the exam well. I will go to Beijing in the third year of high school, and you go to the United States. We will meet in a year, okay?"

Lu Hao reluctantly said, "One year, it's too long."

"quickly."

"It's almost here."

"Look, we've been dating for almost a year."

Chen Xingze was extremely gentle, and his palm touched Lu Hao's cheek.

"Really soon, we will meet in a year's time."

After a lot of hard work, Lu Hao finally agreed to Chen Xingze and went home that day.Chen Xingze knew that although Lu Hao was stubborn, he was always sorry to confront his mother by running away from home.

Lu Hao easily passed the English test. English can be said to be the only subject Lu Hao is good at.Zhao Shan made the preparations early on, and always took Lu Hao abroad whenever he was free, letting him learn skiing, diving, ice hockey abroad... Lu Hao is not afraid of life, he is very used to the foreign environment.

On the day Lu Hao left, Chen Xingze also went to see him off.That scene was so miserable, Lu Hao turned into Meng Jiangnv, holding Chen Xingze's nose and tears, Zhao Shan was embarrassed to watch. "Okay, public place, what is this for?"

Lu Hao choked up in Chen Xingze's ear and said, "One year, one year later we must meet, you wait for me obediently, I will definitely come back."

Chen Xingze actually didn't really want to hear Lu Hao say these things, because in film and television dramas, those who said "will definitely come back" often go for years.

In his third year of high school, Chen Xingze left the campus to go to Beijing to study professional courses according to the plan, preparing to take the art test.

So many things happened this year.

, an age to bid farewell to the gentle township, leave the fairy tale town, and grow up.

Of course, at the beginning, none of them expected these things. Before the storm of fate came, life still maintained tranquility and peace.

When Mi Sheng got the news that Chen Xingze was coming to Beijing, he was very happy.Beijing is too close to Jincheng, and it takes half an hour to get there by intercity train. Living in Beijing, Chen Xingze feels like living beside him.

At that time, Mi Sheng was also facing a lot of pressure, but he didn't care, he was used to it.

Mi Jie and Mi Sheng proposed to separate the family, she said that she can no longer continue to live with burdens like this.That day when Mi Sheng went home to give money, Mi Jie had a showdown with him.

"I will live with my dad, and you will take care of my mother." Mi Jie's tone could not be refused.

Mi Sheng said: "Dad's illness still needs surgery, do you have enough money?"

Mi Jie: "Don't worry about it, since I said I want to take care of him, I will take care of him to the end."

Mi Sheng knew that Mi Jie had a new boyfriend, and his family was relatively well-off. Mi Jie didn't hide it from him, and said frankly: "My boyfriend said that I can take my father there, and he will help him heal his illness. I am already very grateful I can’t let him take care of my mother anymore, I’m not that thick-skinned.” She looked at Mi Sheng and said emotionlessly, “You know how my mother got sick, I’ve been taking care of my parents for ten years , you should also take responsibility."

Mi Zhenguo came out of the house in the middle of the conversation, and fell into a drowsy sleep, "Xiaojie, who is here..." He saw Mi Sheng standing at the door, sober up, and cursed angrily: "Who let you in, Stay away from your sister!"

Mi Sheng said with a smile: "It's really weird. Other families are patriarchal, but my family is the opposite."

Mi Zhenguo turned pale with anger, "Are you ashamed to say that you are a man? How can a man greet someone with his ass? No matter how sick my mother and I are, you are not as sick as you! Unrepentant bastard! Get out of here!" "

"Can you stop arguing! We quarrel when we meet, and we can't stop arguing for ten years!" Mi Jie was fed up with the two of them, and took Mi Zhenguo back to the room.Come back and give Mi Sheng an ultimatum. "My boyfriend has been preparing for the judicial examination for the past few months, and I will take my dad to move there after he finishes the exam."

"All right, all right, you can say whatever you want." Mi Sheng looked at his younger sister with a smile, and asked softly for a while, "Have you told your boyfriend that you have an older brother?"

Mi Jie didn't answer, but Mi Sheng had already seen the answer in those eyes similar to his own.
