Love you No.17 years

Silence replaced surprise.

Lu Ming had a strange feeling in his heart: he seemed to have guessed that there would be such a day between them.

But at this time, facing each other across the night sky like this is not the way he wanted to say goodbye.Lu Ming took a deep breath, his tone still calm, and said:

"Did the family arrange it for you?"

"Ah."

"They didn't threaten you with anything, did they? They didn't embarrass you, did they?"

"No."

"Xiao Jun, if there are people around you who are hard to talk to, please ask them to talk to me directly." Lu Ming changed his hand to hold the phone, "I'm not a young man anymore, I will bear the consequences for what I have to bear."

Xie Chenjun was shocked, and then his eyes softened: "Mr. Lu, no, I'm at home alone."

"Then how do you—"

"Mr. Lu, I don't want to say anything cruel to make you think I'm heartless, but... I'm really going to get married, and I have to do it."

"..."

"You also said that if one day I had to leave you—"

"I won't keep you, but the premise is that you realize that you are not from our side—" Lu Ming's voice became a little unsteady, "Xiao Jun, you suddenly said that you want to get married, who is the other party? Do you really like it?" Are you a person? Do you have a relationship base?"

"..."

Lu Ming knew what silence meant.Xie Chenjun must have something to hide from him, but he didn't want to lie to him, and didn't want to play that childish and bloody misunderstanding game with him——

"Mr. Lu," Xie Chenjun said with a sigh, "you know that many things in this world are not as simple as we imagined. For example, marriage does not necessarily have to be supported by feelings, such as breaking up, and it does not necessarily have to be because we are no longer in love—”

"You want to break up with me?" Lu Ming suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest.

"There's no other way, right? I'm getting married and I'm going to have a wife. You don't want us to keep in touch in the future, do you? Isn't that irresponsible to that girl?"

"But you don't love her at all, but you marry her, isn't that still irresponsible?!" Lu Ming roared, "Is there some other reason—oh, I see, your father's business has gone wrong , you need a 'commercial marriage', right? Is it such an old-fashioned plot to use marriage to maintain interests?"

Xie Chenjun smiled wryly: "Yes, it's such an old-fashioned plot."

"but--"

"But Teacher Lu, I still hope to be a good person in my heart," Xie Chenjun said in a gentle voice, "Even if I can't help myself sometimes, I don't want to do things that break the bottom line of my conscience."

"..."

"So, let's not communicate any more."

"..."

Lu Ming buried his face in his palms, his chest heaving.He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "So, making me sad won't break the bottom line of your conscience, will it?"

Xie Chenjun was silent over there.

Lu Ming said in a nasal voice, "Do you know how much I love you..."

"!"

Such an answer was unexpected by Xie Chenjun.

But for some reason, he was only surprised for a moment, and then suddenly relieved.

There was a smile on the other end of the phone:

"I see Teacher Lu, goodbye."

"Xiao Jun—"

A busy tone came from the phone. Lu Ming threw the phone on the ground and leaned against the edge of the window.

How could this be, how could he say such things...

Is he kidding me? ...This kind of prank is not fun, Xiao Jun...

Xie Chenjun hung up the phone and turned around.The parents behind him all looked at him with scrutiny. Wei Hong folded his arms, and the expression on his face was even sharper.

"Okay, it's settled," Xie Chenjun threw the phone to them, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

There was a trace of embarrassment on Xie Qun's face. He looked at his wife and then at his son, and said, "Well, let me tell you, do you want to slow down the marriage first? If you haven't broken off with that side, you will indeed Irresponsible to other girls—”

"Break clean is to be responsible for other girls?" Xie Chenjun leaned against the window, his tone casual, "If he knows that I have been with a man, won't he feel sick?"

"you--"

Wei Hong raised his hand and wanted to slap it down, but Xie Chenjun didn't dodge, but simply closed his eyes.

A few days ago, he went home with his parents. In addition to confirming that his father was in good health, he also cared about the business situation of the family in the past two years.

As he had heard from other sources, the family business was not optimistic.

"In the past two years, emerging catering has developed too fast," Xie Qun said to him with a look of embarrassment. "Dad is getting old, and many things can't keep up. For example, what computer ordering system has become popular recently, I heard Many restaurants use that, you can directly check the vacancies, and you can print menus, etc., I can't do it..."

"Leave all of these to me," Xie Chenjun said, "I won't leave when I come back this time, I will stay and concentrate on helping Dad with the family business."

The expression on Xie Qun's face stretched: "Really? That's great. Let me tell you, like the old Wang family and the old Chen family, they all have children to help them develop so fast..."

"But the capital chain is not optimistic recently," Wei Hong said with a cold face at the time, "How do you want to solve it? Go to that usury again?"

"Loan usury?" Xie Chenjun's face changed, "Dad, have you ever borrowed a loan shark?"

"I paid it back, I paid it back," Xie Qun said immediately, "At that time, I really couldn't make it through. I borrowed a little, and I paid it back in a few days... Oh, let's find a solution to the problem of funds, as long as our business It's getting better and better, and there shouldn't be such a big problem anymore..."

"What is 'should'? I always take it for granted, what if something goes wrong again?" Wei Hong looked at the father and son dissatisfied, and suddenly said, "Well, Xiaojun will go to see the eldest daughter of the Wu family tomorrow. Although his daughter is a bit older, she is an unmarried girl after all, so we don't suffer. Besides, the Wu family has a big business. If we have any financial problems in the future, it is impossible for his family to ignore death. ?”

"The Wu family? That Wu Bin who works in construction?"

"Yeah, she's an old friend of Dad's," Xie Qun said, "His daughter just came back from outside, she's a few years older than Xiao Jun, and she's almost thirty... But it's okay, Xiao Jun, we'll see After passing her, the maintenance is still good. And she has also studied abroad, so you can definitely have a common language."

Xie Chenjun was silent.Wei Hong added:

"Wu Bin's family has grown in business in the past two years. Half of the neighborhoods in the urban area belong to his family. With such a large family, we can barely make it to the top. If his daughter is not too old, how could it be our turn? Let me tell you, don't pick and choose, go meet someone tomorrow, if the other party likes you, our old Xie's family will burn incense!"

Xie Chenjun didn't rush to refuse, but was thinking about what to do in his heart.

Xie Chenjun went to see her the next day.

After returning, he came out to his parents.

Lu Ming didn't know how long he had been lying on the sofa until the curtains were pulled open suddenly, and the pale glare eroded his face.

"Ms. Lu, why are you still sleeping? It's past five o'clock...do you still have class today?"

Xiao Yu's voice rang beside his ears.The Xiao family has always had his house key, sometimes Huai Ya would come to clean up for him, and sometimes this kid would come to his house to practice piano by himself.

It was obvious that Xiao Yu came here by himself again today.It is rare for a child to see his teacher Lu as he is now, decadent, slovenly, sluggish, with messy hair like a bird's nest, unshaven and unshaven for some time...

Xiao Yu became playful, plucked a feather from the feather duster, walked lightly to his side, and then approached his nostrils——

"Ah Choo!—"

Lu Ming sneezed and turned over, his head was still hurting a bit, seeing the face of the kid in front of him who needed a beating, his fists were itchy.

"Little bastard... Are you in need of cleaning up!"

Xiao Yu had already run away before the words finished.The child hid in a room and looked out the door frame, and said, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Can I skip class today? I want to play ball."

"Little bastard..." Lu Ming rubbed his brows, feeling a little irritable, "Go and buy me something to eat, I'm starving to death... Otherwise, practice the piano twice as often today!"

"Ah, how could this be!"

"Go!"

Xiao Yu went out cursing, and came back shortly after with a bunch of takeaways cursing.

·

Two people sat at a low coffee table.Lu Ming devoured fried noodles and crock pot soup, but Xiao Yu looked at him curiously while sipping milk tea.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Ming said angrily, "Haven't you seen me eat?"

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Yu asked, "It's rare to see you so slovenly - didn't you look good before?"

"When did I lose my appearance?" Lu Ming tapped him with his chopsticks, "Don't be silly, be careful and I'll punish you for practicing the piano."

"Practice as soon as you practice, it's not that I don't want to practice the piano... But what's wrong with you, Mr. Lu? Tell me, tell me?"

"Don't make noise, go practice piano after drinking milk tea."

"Does it have something to do with Brother Jun? - I asked those two brothers to tell him, so has he contacted you?"

Lu Ming raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then lowered his head again without making a sound.

"I heard—"

"What did you hear?"

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, and Lu Ming said helplessly, "Okay, I'll play with you later."

"Really!"

"Really—are you going to tell me?"

"Tch, you still have a bad attitude when asking for help... I heard from those two brothers that Brother Jun went on a blind date recently, and the one who met was the daughter of the 'king of construction'."

Lu Ming stopped moving his hands, then lowered his head to eat again: "Oh, what else?"

"I heard that maybe maybe... if there is no problem, we will get married~"

"Oh……"

"Mr. Lu, are you not in a hurry?"

"Why am I in a hurry?"

"Aren't you two—"

Lu Ming stared at him, scaring the child so much that his neck shrank.

"What are you doing, Mr. Lu," Xiao Yu said carefully, "It's not me who said it, it was Brother Daniu who said it, and that good friend of Brother Jun——"

Lu Ming was speechless.He touched his face fiercely, and sighed, "You guys are really..."

"Ms. Lu, I'm already sensible, I know—" He lowered his voice pretending to be mysterious, "Men and men can also fall in love, right?"

"Don't be blind—"

"Oh, this is not a rare thing, what age is it now? The girls in our class are reading those cartoons, it's just two boys—"

"Okay," Lu Ming stopped him, "You, you don't say these things in front of your parents, do you understand?"

"I got it, I got it," Xiao Yu approached with a smile again, "Then tell me, are you and Brother Jun in love?"
