Love you No.17 years

"At that time, I was always naive, thinking that money and material things were not important."

Lu Ming leaned on his arm, looked at the ceiling, and said to himself with a sad face:

"I deeply thought that I had already lived a 'carefree' life, and I asked Xiaojun to rely on me more and not to work so hard. I really didn't have much trouble at that time, relying on the inheritance I inherited from my father, Get something for nothing, have no pursuit, enjoy it...

"Xiao Jun said that he wants to 'use the economic foundation to win freedom', I especially don't understand - I always say what's the use of earning so much money? Is it enough to spend it? If he wants money, can't I give it to him?" - Can you understand now, Xiao Yu, do you know why people have to keep moving forward and working hard forever in their lifetime?"

Lu Ming's eyes fell on Xiao Yu, and the child's expression had already dimmed.

"But I don't blame you. Even if your father doesn't have an accident, maybe one day it will be my turn, right? Maybe I will be lying on the hospital bed alone, with no money for medical treatment and no one to take care of me... When I come Surrounded by many people, I can only be alone when I leave. I always thought that I would not care about these things, but after what happened to your father, I realized that people want to live a good life..."

"Ms. Lu," Xiao Yu said in a strong nasal voice, "I will not let you die alone forever."

Lu Ming smiled, and said: "But I want Xiao Jun to have a 'normal' life. If possible, I hope that he will marry and have children, and his children and grandchildren will be around his knees in the future. I don't want him to become like me. We are essentially He is not the same kind of person. He has a hard mouth but a soft heart. He has been hurt a lot, but he can't get rid of the deepest kindness in his heart—"

"But Teacher Lu, aren't you kind?" Xiao Yu looked at him tearfully, "You shouldn't be treated like this, you obviously like him so much—"

"'Like' is probably the most useless thing in the world," Lu Ming looked at him, "Did you know that only people your age can talk about love? There is no pure love in the adult world, even if there is, It is also mixed with interests and calculations. Love is the most useless thing..."

"Who said it's useless!" Xiao Yu said loudly, "If my parents didn't have love, wouldn't they lose me? If they didn't risk their lives for love, why would they come to live in such a small place?"

"You do not understand--"

"Then you just say that I understand! Anyway, all I know is that it is impossible for me to let you die alone. Dad said that I will treat you as I treat them in the future. We are not related by blood and can be like relatives. Why? You can't believe in yourself more, believe that you are worthy of being loved!"

Lu Ming looked at him, for the first time he wanted to hug this stupid boy, but he blinked his wet eyes and held back.

"And why haven't you thought about it, if you can grow old together with Brother Jun, wouldn't you both have to die alone?" Xiao Yu was still making a long speech, "Whether you have children is secondary, Brother Jun He is ten years younger than you, you will definitely walk ahead of him in the future, right? He will definitely take care of you for the rest of your life until you die, right? "

"puff--"

Lu Ming almost spat out a mouthful of blood.Fortunately, I resisted the urge to hug him just now, this kid really "can" talk, sooner or later I will be pissed off by him...

"I don't care, I will help you to the end anyway," Xiao Yu began to look around, looking for something, "Dad is also sighing at home these two days, I know, if he caused you to become like this because of his own affairs, he must It's going to be a long time... ah, here."

"what?"

Xiao Yu took out a black thing from under the coffee table, Lu Ming took a closer look, isn't that his mobile phone?

"What are you going to do?"

"Since you asked for my uncle's phone number for me, you must have his number saved, right?" Xiao Yu pressed the phone, "I'll look for it, I'll call him right now, I want to liberate you Teacher Lu, Let you pursue your own happiness!"

"Hey, don't mess around—"

Lu Ming struggled to get up and grab his cell phone, but the hangover and not eating all day made him dizzy.

Xiao Yu has already fled with her mobile phone.The old Nokia didn't have a password lock screen function, even if Lu Ming had it, it seemed that he hadn't set it.Xiao Yu found the text message from Xiaotong among the piles of messages, and there was Xu Shaofeng's phone number in it!

"I found it!" Xiao Yu said excitedly, "I, I'll call back now... His name is Xu Shaofeng, right? No, I should call him uncle... But do I call him uncle as soon as I open my mouth? Does he know? Do you know that there is a nephew like me?"

Lu Ming finally got up and chased after him helplessly.But Xiao Yu suddenly jumped onto the dining table, the top of his head almost touched the ceiling, Lu Ming opened his arms underneath: "Hey, be careful, don't fall—"

"Then don't come and catch me, me, I just in case I fall... Anyway, I've made a call, so don't try to stop me!"

"Stop hitting," Lu Ming said earnestly, "Your parents will know later—"

"I will admit my mistake to them, and I will say that it is all my idea, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"That's not the problem—he won't help you even if you call, and he—"

Before he finished speaking, the phone was connected.Xiao Yu pressed the speakerphone, and an indifferent male voice came from the receiver:

"Hey."

The two suddenly became tense.

·

·

The air was quiet for a second, and Xiao Yu stammered:

"Hello, hello? Yes, Xu Shaofeng?"

"Who?"

"Uncle—uncle, I, I am Xiao Yu, it is me, my mother's son..."

Lu Ming covered his face and couldn't see it.What kind of silly apprentice is this, he is his "mother's son", how did he come up with such words...

This time the silence was longer, Xiao Yu suspected that he had hung up, and asked tentatively: "Uncle?... Are you still there?"

"You are Xiao Yu?"

"Yes, yes...my mother is Xu Huaiya, your sister, right?"

"What's the matter."

This sentence didn't even mean to ask at all, Xiao Yu was surprised by Xu Shaofeng's indifference: Didn't he hear that his uncle and mother have a good relationship?Why is there a tone of indifference at this moment? ?

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "My father is sick——"

"What disease?" Xu Shaofeng asked quickly, "Is it terminally ill?"

Xiao Yu was taken aback, and Lu Ming shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, terminally ill, white blood—"

"Oh, then why do you want me?" Xu Shaofeng suddenly became full of sarcasm, "Can I help you cure your father?"

"Uh, I, I want to borrow some money from you—"

"My money is blown by the wind? If you want to borrow it, I will lend it to you?"

"..."

"And if borrowing money alone is useful, why didn't you contact me in the morning?"

"..."

Xiao Yu couldn't go on speaking after being slapped by him like this.Lu Ming deeply understood his feelings, and motioned him to give him the phone, but at this time, Xu Shaofeng's voice came from the phone——

"How long does he have?" Xu Shaofeng said, "If there is no money for the funeral, I can help."

"!"

Xiao Yu suddenly froze in place, staring fixedly ahead, the light in his eyes moved slightly.

Lu Ming realized that something was wrong, and wanted to snatch his phone right away, but Xiao Yu's eyes turned red, and a murderous aura erupted from his whole body:

"You fucking fart!" he yelled into the phone, "My dad won't die! As long as he can take medicine, he won't die! You don't want to borrow money and don't curse him? Don't know anything, right here Nonsense, you are a fucking bastard!"

He smashed the phone out, his chest heaved a few times in anger, and he sat on the table and wiped his eyes again.Lu Ming's head hurt even more. He walked over and picked up the phone. Fortunately, it's a Nokia, it won't break, it won't break...

·

Lu Ming picked up the phone and looked, the phone was still connected.He walked into the kitchen and closed the door, picked up his phone and said, "It's me."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier." Xu Shaofeng asked immediately.

"What do you ask me for? Why don't you ask your sister and brother-in-law?"

"Then why let that brat call me now?"

"Oh, then you have to ask that brat. You made him wipe tears over there, and he probably refused to tell you."

"..."

The two people were still at war with each other as before, but now was not the time to quarrel, Xu Shaofeng lowered his posture:

"How is his illness? Is it serious? Is it possible to get better by taking medicine as the child said?"

"Chronic myelogenous leukemia, go and check the information yourself. It is still in the chronic stage, and the condition is still stable for the time being, and it is controlled by taking medicine. But the medicine... 2 yuan a month, Zhenghan's small factory and large The house is gone, and now I have moved back to the old house on the hillside, the one you lived in back then..."

There was silence on the phone.Lu Ming stretched, his stomach was already rumbling, he opened the refrigerator to find something to eat.

It turned out to be nothing but a row of beers.

"I'll be there tomorrow." Xu Shaofeng said suddenly.

"Ah?" Lu Ming used his teeth to pry open a bottle of beer, "No, I didn't ask you to come, we are not short of money right now."

"You guys?" Xu Shaofeng snorted coldly, "Did his family's money be counted as yours?"

"Is there anything wrong? If they need you, why didn't Huai Ya himself tell you?"

Xu Shaofeng was cold for another two seconds, and said unhappily: "I don't want to argue with you. Anyway, I will be there within tomorrow. You can tell them or not. Goodbye."

"Forehead--"

"Oh, by the way," Xu Shaofeng said again, "I heard that Xie Chenjun got married today?"

"What?" Lu Ming was startled, "How do you know—he invited you?"

"No, I heard what Xiaotong and the others casually mentioned...why do you look like you stay out of it? Shouldn't you be busy on the wedding day? Oh, the other groom isn't you? No wonder."

"..."

Xu Shaofeng laughed again and hung up the phone.Lu Ming regretted talking to him properly, he should have ridiculed him...

·

After coming out of the kitchen, Xiao Yu was still sitting on the dining table.When he saw Lu Ming, he quickly wiped his eyes and jumped off the table.

"You said don't go to him," Lu Ming handed him a bottle of beer, "Your uncle is not a good person, and a little guy like you will only suffer if you meet him."

"Why is he like this..." Xiao Yu pouted, "How could he curse my father..."

"That's what he is—by the way he said he'd be here tomorrow."

"what?!"

"What are you doing, scare me."

"I don't want him to come!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.

"What's the use of telling me? Tell him yourself to let him go away?"

"I, I don't—I don't want him coming!"

Lu Ming shook his head speechlessly.He himself was still covered with chicken feathers, and his head was even more dizzy after being quarreled by this little brat.

He drank a gulp of beer, and Xiao Yu wandered around for a long time, entangled in Xu Shaofeng's affairs.Then he found Lu Ming drinking and snatched the bottle:

"Miss Lu, you haven't eaten all day, why are you still drinking?"

"Oh, I actually don't want to, there is only wine at home."

"Oh, I can't drink it—no, what else do I drink? My uncle is coming, anyway, he will take care of my family's affairs, right? Then you leave us alone, you go to the wedding to snatch the bride!"

Xiao Yu tugged at his arm to pull him up, but Lu Ming's stature could not pull him up at all.

"Forget it, Xiao Yu," Lu Ming took the beer in his hand and looked at him calmly, "It's too late."

"you--"

There was determination in Lu Ming's eyes, but also deep despair.

Xiao Yu let go of him and didn't speak again.

·

·

Then the two quarreled all night.Xiao Yu didn't dare to go home, fearing that he would leak his words, so he found an excuse to tell his parents that he was staying at Lu Ming's place tonight.

The two of them are like children who are not at home, buying a lot of barbecue beer crayfish, eating, drinking and playing around at home.Xiao Yu got excited and sang a song, Lu Ming played the piano to accompany him, and his madness finally subsided in the middle of the night.

So the next morning, when someone pushed open the half-covered door and walked into the messy living room, Lu Ming opened his eyes in a daze, as if he was more surprised than the person who came.

"...Xiao, Xiaojun?"

Xie Chenjun stood by the door, and the two of them looked at each other in shock.
