The Lingering Sounds of Blooming Flowers

"Mr. Lin, thank you for choosing Zhongrui Jiaye. Today's interview is over, and we will give you a definite answer later."

Lin Chaosheng nodded in greeting: "Okay, thank you."

Turn off the slides, cover the laptop, and tidy up his belongings. Lin Chaosheng said goodbye to the interviewers politely, and gently closed the door of the conference room when he left.

Holding a stack of materials and certificates, Lin Chaosheng stepped into the elevator before he breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the button for the next floor.He took out his phone and unlocked the screen. At 43:[-], the flight back to Beijing from Colombo should have landed safely. Just as his thumb was about to slide to the dial key, the page flashed suddenly, and Chenfeng Lu's number jumped into Lin Chaosheng's field of vision.

Lin Chaosheng connected in a second: "What a coincidence, I was just about to call you."

Lu Chenfeng smiled and asked, "How was the interview?"

Lin Chaosheng replied conservatively: "The questions they asked were very professional. I was not very satisfied with the answers to two of them. I don't know what the result will be."

Lu Chenfeng said: "I don't think about it after it's over, good boy."

Lin Chaosheng raised his eyes and stared at the elevator floor display, "Yeah" said: "Have you left the airport yet?"

Lu Chenfeng didn't answer, he turned the topic to the important point first, and anxiously expressed the long-standing resentment: "During this period of time, you worked too hard, and I was left out in the cold by you. The Chinese New Year is about to come, don't you have to make it up to me?"

Lin Chaosheng smirked: "Small, what kind of compensation plan does Designer Lu want?"

Lu Chenfeng said without hesitation: "A complete set from head to toe, the more detailed the better."

There were forbearable laughter both inside and outside the receiver. When the first floor arrived, Lin Chaosheng quickly walked out of the Ocean Business Building. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw a familiar figure standing by the street lamp not far away in his raised eyes. man silver gray suitcase.

The unexpected surprise hit Lin Chaosheng blankly, Lu Chenfeng waved his hand at him, moved the phone to his lips, and lowered the volume: "Engineer Lin, I'm here to pick you up."

With both shoulders hanging in the crook of his arms, Lin Chaosheng only cared about wrapping his down jacket tightly, trotting all the way, while Lu Chenfeng stepped forward, opening his arms to meet his hug.

Lin Chaosheng patted Lu Chenfeng on the back, and said firmly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Lu Chenfeng also patted Lin Chaosheng's, and said with peace of mind: "You have worked hard too."

The end of the new year is approaching, people returning home have already set foot on their way back, and there are few vehicles on the city roads. Lin Chaosheng asked: "I want to go home by subway."

"Anything is fine." Lu Chenfeng responded, "Let me carry you back as long as I want."

After speaking, he took the other party's hand and left. Lin Chaosheng said "hey": "You don't want any luggage?"

"... Oh, I forgot." Lu Chenfeng scratched the bridge of his nose embarrassingly, and turned back to pull the suitcase, "Just thinking about taking you home."

In the empty subway station, they went through the security check smoothly, and the two took the escalator down one by one.Lin Chaosheng put his chin on the top of Lu Chenfeng's head, and Lu Chenfeng grabbed the hem of his clothes from the back of his right hand. At this moment, the high beam came on and the train pulled into the station. They quickened their pace and got into the warm compartment.

There were only a few people on the whole train, Lin Chaosheng sat on the blue-green long seat, and Lu Chenfeng was next to him, the glass window in front of him reflected the silhouette of a couple.

The sound of the subway running was loud and noisy, Lin Chaosheng moved closer to Lu Chenfeng's face, stared at the fine hair in front of his ear, and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

Lu Chenfeng looked ahead and said, "I learned how to make curry at the boss's house in Sri Lanka. I'll cook this meal, and you can rest."

Lin Chaosheng doesn't think it is a burden to cook three meals a day by himself, but enjoys it. Of course, if two people can cook together, they will reap double the happiness.He said with relief: "I'll do it."

Lu Chenfeng stopped talking, and stared at the opposite car window without blinking.He waited for the train to enter the station before he glanced elsewhere. After the door was closed and restarted, he fixed his gaze on the darkened window again, repeatedly.

Lin Chaosheng looked at him for a long time and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Chenfeng tilted his head and replied: "We."

Lin Chaosheng followed his gaze, the dark glass window was like a magnified camera screen, framing him and Lu Chenfeng side by side.Lin Chaosheng accurately captured Lu Chenfeng's opening and closing lips, so he tilted his head: "My intuition tells me that you have something to say."

Lu Chenfeng shook his head slightly, and smiled a little shyly: "I just think... well, everything is very good now."

Healthy body, peaceful life, step-by-step work, past and future, aftertaste and expectation, nostalgia and hope, they, like most ordinary people, are composing bits and pieces of ordinary life.

The two got off at the terminal station of Line [-] and took the bus back home.In the severe cold of winter, the soil in the small courtyard has already been turned over, waiting for another round of sowing next spring.

The ingredients needed for curry are all in the refrigerator. Besides, Lu Chenfeng took out three bags of ingredients from the suitcase.Lin Chaosheng stuffed the rice with rice, diced the vegetables, handed over to Lu Chenfeng to stir-fry with olive oil, seasoned with black pepper, then poured in turmeric powder, changed to low heat and simmered for 15 minutes, and finally added coconut milk powder and curry powder to simmer.

Two big men were guarding a stove covered with oily smoke, Lu Chenfeng said: "It's actually quite simple, but I tried four or five times before I could make the taste authentic."

"Don't worry." Lin Chaosheng comforted, "I am a very face-saving person."

The mobile phone vibrated on the coffee table in the living room, and Lu Chenfeng heard the sound at the tips of his ears. He raised his hand and pinched Lin Chaosheng's cheek: "It should be yours."

Lin Chaosheng raised his head knowingly, touched Lu Chenfeng's lips and said, "I'll answer the phone."

It took only 2 minutes to go back and forth, but Lin Chaosheng who returned to the kitchen was obviously more clingy than before.He hugged Lu Chenfeng tightly from behind, resting his forehead on the other's shoulder, his voice was full of excitement and excitement that could not be concealed: "Zhongrui Jiaye notified me that I will be on the job after the next year and start a three-month training."

Not surprised at all, Lu Chenfeng turned around to make the hug complete: "We have to open a bottle of red wine to celebrate."

The violin version of "I Do" is playing on the old speakers in the TV cabinet.On the small dining table, there were two tall glasses and two plates of delicious curry rice. Lu Chenfeng woke up the red wine and poured Lin Chaosheng a small sip: "Professor Gai's instructions come first. You are still here." Take medicine to strengthen, so you can only drink so much."

Lin Chaosheng obediently raised his glass first, and with a crisp "ding", it hit the rim of Lu Chenfeng's cup and fell on the hearts of the two of them.

Near the end of a simple lunch, Lin Chaosheng lightly sipped the red wine, put down his chopsticks, and stared at Lu Chenfeng with one hand, letting his thoughts wander and memories flooded, and suddenly called: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Chenfeng's heart trembled, he hadn't heard this name for too long, and he looked at Lin Chaosheng blankly.Lin Chaosheng had a gentle expression and asked softly, "Why did you come to stay at the Jiaxi Inn?"

Regarding Lin Chaosheng's doubts, Lu Chenfeng had thought about it for countless days and nights, but at this moment he was deeply trapped in Lin Chaosheng's tenderness and couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't give the other party a definite answer.

With enough food and wine, and plenty of heating in the house, it should relieve the pain of lovesickness when parting on a business trip.Regardless of the cups, plates and dishes of clean meals, Lu Chenfeng took Lin Chaosheng back to the bedroom, got into bed, and shared ups and downs in the endless heat of embracing each other.

It was getting late, Lu Chenfeng brushed away Lin Chao's wet/drenched/drenched forehead hair, stared at the delicate face of the sleeping man, and seriously recalled the question the other party raised just now.

On March 3 last year, he dragged his tired body, feeling sad, indignant, painful, and helpless, like a lonely soul, walking in the dusk of Erhai Lake.He couldn't hear the sound of the outside world clearly, and couldn't feel the enthusiasm of others, but the only picture that caught his heart was the man squatting in front of the flowers, quietly looking at the mountains and seas.

The quietly sprouting love was covered up by his inherent emotions, but his cold body and mind yearned for the warm flame infinitely. Lu Chenfeng seemed to understand his actions at that time, because in this relationship, he and Lin Chaosheng had exactly the same heart. path.

Those subtle encounters and surprises that happened in the rough years... Lu Chenfeng couldn't help feeling that he was already moved by the first sight of Lin Chaosheng.
