one's love

Ruan Xing's eyes were slightly red, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he gently hugged Lu Ye, told him to take good care of himself, and then took Wei Siyuan's hand affectionately, thanking him for taking care of Lu Ye and You Ming all these years .

Ruan Xing got into the black car at the door and left. Lu Ye held Wei Siyuan's shoulders and stood in front of the villa's gate to watch his mother leave.Until the figure of the car was no longer visible, Wei Siyuan still stood there.A gust of wind lifted his open gray overcoat and blown his soft black hair from his forehead.

Lu Ye tightened his lover's coat that was blown up by the wind, and changed into a posture of embracing each other with one hand, looked down at his lover's eyes looking into the distance, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I just think...she can let go of everything and go where she wants, which is actually very good." Wei Siyuan withdrew his distant gaze and met Lu Ye's gaze.

"Do you like it too, traveling wherever you want?"

"It shouldn't be annoying."

Wei Siyuan frowned and thought about it, then said hesitantly.

"Go back, it's getting cold."

Lu Ye sighed, and walked back to the villa with his lover in his arms.

The cold wind still sweeps wantonly behind the person in an incomprehensible way, pulling up the withered yellow leaves that are falling all over the sky.

In order to hand over the divorce agreement to Lu Chuan, it took Lu Ye a whole week to find him in a little-known village.However, thanks to this incident, he could temporarily ignore what Ruan Xing said to him in the study.

When Lu Chuan was found, he was standing sideways to Lu Ye in front of a well to press water.

The clear groundwater rises under the action of the water diversion skin and the well core, and the pumped well water slides down from the outlet, forming a gurgling water flow, which falls into the iron basin with a few green and tender pears on the ground, splashing water It is a gray and white concrete floor dotted with stars.

The first person who found Lu Ye standing in front of the small iron gate was a man covered with a blanket and half lying on a wooden rocking chair basking in the sun.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The man on the rocking chair sat up weakly and looked at Lu Ye suspiciously.

Hearing the man's voice, Lu Chuan let go of the handle and glanced at the iron door on the right.When he found that it was Lu Ye, he turned his eyes back to the pot of fragrant pears on the ground, squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, washed the pears, dried the water droplets on them, walked up to the man on the rocking chair, and put the washed fragrant pears Throwing it into the man's hand, and helping him tidy up the blanket on his body, he walked in front of Lu Ye, and handed a fragrant pear to Lu Ye's hand: "What's the matter?"

Holding the fragrant pear, Lu Ye didn't know whether to eat it, so he took out the divorce agreement and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Mom is going on a trip. Before leaving, let me give you something, and I'm sorry."

Lu Chuan opened the folded paper, glanced at the content written on the paper indifferently, quickly folded the paper back, clamped it with his fingers, and asked with his arms crossed, "What else is there?"

Seeing the other party's indifferent expression as usual, Lu Ye replied that it's okay, and wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but was stopped by the man behind Lu Chuan.

"You are Lu Ye?"

The man grabbed the blanket, straightened up, and asked nervously.

For some reason, the man gives people a very comfortable feeling, whether it is the voice of speaking, or the clear eyes when looking at him, they are like the sunshine in autumn, warm and not hot.

"Yes."

Lu Ye looked at the man calmly.The other party looked about the same age as Lu Chuan, but the silver hair on his head made him look older, the wrinkles on his face were not obvious, the slight smile at the corner of his mouth made the crow's feet easily appear at the corners of his eyes, and the slightly white lips showed It shows the owner's unhealthy physical condition, thin and thin figure, even a thick blanket can't hide it.

The amber sunlight enveloped the man lightly, very softly.Lu Ye thought, when a man is young, he must be the kind of gentle and jade-like type.

He was obviously hostile to him before, but now that he sees him, he can't feel any hatred in his heart. This is a man who inexplicably calms down just by being looked at.

"You must be tired from looking so far away, come in and have a seat."

"it is good."

The other party looked at him with a hint of joy and anticipation. Lu Ye subconsciously agreed. When he realized it, he couldn't help but glanced at his father. Seeing that the other party did not express dissatisfaction, he was relieved. He said "excuse me" and walked in. This two-storey house.

The outdoor sunshine was just right, Lu Ye moved a half-height bench and sat beside the silver-haired man, watching him take small bites of the fragrant pear, and he ate along with him.The fragrant pear skin is thin and juicy, and the sweet and fresh taste immediately fills the whole mouth.

The breeze hits, with the unique smell of soil and grass in the countryside, which makes people feel more comfortable.Lu Ye finished eating the pears, feeling the unique tranquility of the countryside, and felt that his lover would love this place.After thinking about it, he raised his head and caught the kind eyes of the silver-haired man.

"Lu Ye, how old are you?"

After being discovered by Lu Ye, the man did not avoid his sight, as if he had been waiting for Lu Ye to notice him.

"28." Lu Ye didn't hate chatting with this gentle-looking man.

"You're so old, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I have a lover, and the other party is a man."

"Ah... that's pretty good. If you really like it, it's okay if the other party is also a man."

After a flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, he still spoke slowly.

"kindness."

Lu Ye is a person who doesn't talk much, but the silver-haired man seems to be very interested in Lu Ye, asking various questions from time to time, probably because the man's health is not very good, and his voice is always very soft when speaking , but it doesn't give people a sick feeling. Instead, it is like two pieces of fine jadeite, which make a crisp and light sound when they collide lightly.

Lu Ye patiently answered every question of the man, while Lu Chuan leaned against the wall next to the man, quietly looking at Shen Chen who had talked so much these days, with a smile in his eyes.

While chatting, the man's eyelids slowly lowered until his eyes were half-closed and half-open, and he still tried to open his eyes and talk to Lu Ye as if he was unwilling.

Lu Chuan laughed, walked up to the man, passed the man's knee with one hand, and grabbed the man's back with the other, then picked him up from the rocking chair, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "I'll take you to sleep?"

The man looked at Lu Ye reluctantly, Lu Chuan met the man's coquettish eyes, and felt soft in his heart: "He won't leave today, we will talk to him when you wake up."

"Really?" The man was so sleepy that his eyes were narrowed.

"Of course, go to sleep."

After listening to Lu Chuan's answer, the man finally closed his eyes with peace of mind.

After carrying the man into the house and settling him down, Lu Chuan walked out, glanced at Lu Ye, and said expressionlessly, "Let's leave tomorrow."

After speaking, he walked to the kitchen on the right side of the yard.

Lu Ye was the only one left in the yard, and there was a sleeping silver-haired man in the house, but Lu Ye had no choice but to follow into the kitchen.

The kitchen is a separate shanty, separate from the house.

On the right side of the entrance, there is a tiled hearth next to the wall, which occupies about one-third of the whole room. There is a large iron pot recessed in the center of the hearth.There is a circular recess in the upper left corner of the large iron pot, and a cooking pot is placed on it.There is a hole on the right side and the left front side of the stove, which is used for lighting, and firewood and dry pine needles are piled beside the stove.On the left side of the kitchen, there is a wooden cabinet, in which clean dishes and chopsticks are neatly placed.

When Lu Ye was standing at the door, Lu Chuan held a long-handled tongs with a ball of pine needles in his right hand, and lit the pine needles with a lighter in his left hand. Picking up the pine needles, the fire quickly ignited, and then clamped a few pieces of wood with iron tongs and added them to the hole where the flames flickered.

After finishing these tasks with ease, Lu Chuan straightened his back and put the lid on the cooking pot.In the pot is the chicken soup ingredients that have been prepared a long time ago. The fresh chicken cut into pieces is mixed with red dates, longan, codonopsis, wolfberry...

Lu Ye looked at Lu Chuan's skillful movements in surprise.

Noticing his existence, Lu Chuan said indifferently: "It's still a while before lunch, the soup is boiling first."

"kindness."

"It's nothing, the kitchen is small, go out first."

"it is good."

The two returned to sit in the small courtyard again. Lu Ye and Lu Chuan didn't spend much time together, and the chances to sit quietly without saying anything like this were even rarer.It was Lu Ye who broke the tranquility first.

"Aren't you planning to go back?"

"I will go back. He is not in good health. The medical conditions here are too poor. I won't live here with him for a long time."

"Then what if he doesn't want to go?"

"Of course I have a way to make him willing to come with me." Lu Chuan's tone was as calm and confident as ever.

"Don't care about the company's affairs?"

"Not with you. Besides, even if I go back, I don't have so much time to spend on work."

"Because of him?"

"Yes."

The short and indifferent parent-child conversation ended quickly, and Lu Chuan left Lu Ye alone in the yard and walked into the house alone.It took a long time before he walked out slowly and walked directly to the kitchen.

The dishes are very simple, in addition to the chicken soup that has been boiled on the fire, there are also fried beef with white radish and Chinese cabbage.While Lu Chuan was cooking, he asked Lu Ye to sit by the stove and light the fire for him.

"That man, does he... like you?" Lu Ye couldn't help asking as he looked at the blazing flames.

"Of course." Lu Chuan replied without turning his head while stirring the vegetables in the iron pan with a spatula.

"How did you get him to like you?"

Lu Chuan frowned when he heard this question. Shen Chen was not forced to like him, but he quickly guessed Lu Ye's intention of asking this question: "If you only want him to accompany you to relieve boredom, then continue to lock him up. But if you really like him and think he likes you too, let him go."

"Let's go, won't you come back?"

"That's true. Doesn't it just mean that he will be happier without you." After Lu Chuan said indifferently, he put the vegetables in the pot on the plate, "Okay, the vegetables are ready."

At lunch, the silver-haired man woke up, and was still a little weak when he sat at the dining table.Lu Chuan sat aside and served him a bowl of hot soup in front of him.The man smiled and said thank you.

Lu Chuan smiled back, but the smile didn't reach the depths of his eyes.Lu Ye knew that his father was not happy at this time.Perhaps, the pale and sickly complexion of the silver-haired man affected his mood.

After dinner, Lu Ye sat chatting with the silver-haired man in the courtyard.

The man said with some guilt: "It's boring to sit here and listen to my nagging all the time. It would be great if I could take you around here."

"fine."

A man always thinks of others, which is very similar to a lover.

"You and Lu Chuan are really similar." The man said with a smile, "If only you could stay here for a few more days, I can take you for a walk on the mountain behind the house. When Lu Chuan was young, he liked me to take him there. Hanging out on the mountain, you will definitely like it."

Lu Ye was a little puzzled, did his father come here when he was a child?Suddenly, I remembered that Ruan Xing had mentioned that Lu Chuan disappeared for a while after being kidnapped when he was a child. Could it be that time?

"Shen Chen, you haven't taken me to the back mountain since you came back." Lu Chuan, who had been standing quietly by the side, said suddenly, his tone seemed to be slightly dissatisfied, but there was still no expression on his face, only his eyes were downcast and gentle Staring at each other.

"Then when I feel better, we'll go together."

"Okay." Lu Chuan's eyes were instantly filled with joy, and under the sunlight, they shone with amber light, like a pool full of gold fragments, rippling with brilliance from time to time, which was extraordinarily dazzling.

That was the expression that Lu Ye had never seen on Lu Chuan's face since he was a child. He thought that even Ruan Xing had never seen it before. Lu Chuan must be as happy as he is now...

The lover's expression with a hint of sadness always comes to mind. After being with me, the lover seems to have never been really happy... Even the smile seems to be covered with a layer of gray veil, hazy.

If you let him go, can you see him with a real smile like your father... But at that time, can you still stand by his side?

In the evening, Lu Ye stayed at Shen Chen's house.

This small house is small in size, divided into upper and lower floors.The second floor is used as a storage floor because no one lives there all year round. It is uninhabitable but tidy and clean.

The first floor is the living room and bedroom.The old double-open wooden door, the living room is opened by pushing the door.

On the left side of the entrance, there is a guest room divided into two parts by a screen. The side near the door is the study room, and further inside is the bedroom. There are lattice glass windows, and outside the window is the shadow of the dark mountains, and the wind that penetrates along the window cracks carries the fresh smell of the mountains and forests.

Lu Ye rested in this room.

The master bedroom of the small house is on the right side of the entrance. Inside the house is a dark wooden canopy bed of the same style as the guest room. It does not look like precious wood. The dark brown color that has long lost its luster shows that the wooden bed is old and slightly The old bed was unexpectedly firm.

After Lu Chuan accompanied Shen Chen into the master bedroom to rest, Lu Ye walked into the guest room alone.Sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, he opened the window and let the cold wind blow into the house. It was pitch black outside, but also very quiet, as if all sound and light were absorbed by the darkness outside the window, and he was the only one left in the whole world.

The person he had thought of during the day resurfaced in his mind, and with a move in his heart, Lu Ye picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number he had memorized by heart.

"Lu Ye?"

The lover's pleasant voice came, which warmed Lu Ye's heart.

"kindness."

Slowly lay down on the bed covered with a thick quilt behind her, looking at the warm orange light above her head, imagining the scene of her lover sitting in the living room, lazily lying on the sofa, holding a mobile phone and talking to herself.At this time, the lover must be covered with a blanket, hugging his knees, holding a mobile phone, resting his pointed chin on his raised knee, talking leisurely to himself.

Perhaps he was silent for too long, and his lover asked.

"what happened?"

"I'm spending the night out tonight and I won't be coming back."

"it is good."

"I'll be home tomorrow."

"Well, I'll wait for you at home."

"I found my father. He was with a silver-haired man and seemed happy."

"Yes, that's good."

"Maybe. Xiaoyuan, can you read to me, there is nothing in this place, I can't sleep."

"Okay." Wei Siyuan always easily agrees to Lu Ye's request, making Lu Ye like a coquettish child who can't help asking more requests to see if the other party can agree to them one by one.

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, there was the sound of his lover reading a book slowly. Lu Ye closed his eyes and listened to the soft voice beside his ears. He gradually fell asleep without listening to the contents of the book...
