Is Mr. Ling doing well today?

On the first day of the National Day holiday, Liang Zhao personally sent her boyfriend to the airport to catch the flight.

When the two strode into the waiting hall, the entourage of DR company and Mr. Ling's personal assistant had already been waiting for a long time.

"Fortunately, there is no traffic jam on the road, otherwise you will miss this flight."

Liang Zhao handed over the document package to the person who was still distracted, patted him on the shoulder to wake him up, and complained in a deep voice: "The reason for being late is because you are coquettish and stay in bed. Does Mr. Ling dare to tell his subordinates?"

"Please, I'm not staying in bed, I just don't want to go at all."

Ling Xuan covered his lips with his tiger's mouth and yawned for a long time. With the corners of his lazy and long eyes between his eyes, he mumbled in an unhappy voice: "You don't even know that you won't see Liang Gong for several days even though you are on vacation. Feel sorry for me."

Liang Zhao said nothing, just watched his boyfriend perform with a condescending expression.

After a while, Boss Ling, who was fed up with crookedness, adjusted his suit and tie by himself. With a face full of intimidation, he stretched out his wrists slightly, as if he was being shackled.

"Okay, I'm going to work voluntarily."

"Okay, I know you've worked hard." Liang Zhao avoided the eyes of the employees behind him, and squeezed the back of Ling Xuan's hand comfortingly.

Only then did Ling Xuan raise his eyes and ask with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Then what do you want to say to me?"

"Take good care of yourself, pay attention to avoid jet lag and stay up late, and then leave early and return early."

Liang Zhao almost didn't need to think about it, and just opened his mouth with a long list of instructions. When he was with someone who was not worried, he felt that he also became long-winded.

"Got it, wait for me at home."

The female voice announcement in the hall rang twice, Ling Xuan handed all his documents to the entourage standing not far behind, turned around and waved goodbye again.

Liang Zhao nodded, followed Ling Xuan to the crowd who were about to board the plane.

It wasn't until that figure disappeared at the end of the line that he raised his wrist and glanced at the dial. Seeing that the time was just right, he turned and walked towards the waiting entrance on the other side.

Looking at the neatly arranged public seats from a distance, a young man with his head down was sitting in a certain position, fiddling with his mobile phone.

Liang Zhao approached from behind, raised his arm and gently pressed Liang Xi and the black hair on top of his head with two fingers, making him lean forward slightly.

"elder brother?"

The boy who was originally concentrating on the interface of the mobile game suddenly looked up, and was a little surprised to see the person standing behind him without warning.

"Didn't you agree that I would come to pick you up?"

"By the way." Liang Zhao didn't explain too much, and sat side by side with him on the same row of seats.

Last week, it was discussed within the family group that during the National Day, the old couple would come from their hometown and live in City A for a short stay.

Liang Xihe didn't have a chance to say anything else, just looking up, some guests who had just got off the flight had already come out of the diverted safety exit, and Professor Liang, Lawyer Lin and his wife followed them.

"Dad." Liang Zhao stepped forward to the familiar figure.

There will be no overnight feud between father and son.Although the last conversation broke up unhappy, the good father still responded lightly and handed out his coat.

The dignified woman accompanying Professor Liang is Liang Zhao's stepmother, Aunt Lin.She is fully younger than her good father, and her beautiful and gentle appearance is the envy of her peers.

Seeing the two figures in front of him waiting here to greet him at the same time, Lawyer Lin couldn't help but wondered, "Why are you two here together? Are you not busy?"

Although Liangzhao's temperament was taciturn and indifferent, the youngest son was always sweet-talking. He stepped forward and put his hands on his mother's arm, which was several rounds faster than his elder brother's reaction.

"Because I'm off on National Day, and no matter how busy I am, it's not as important as picking my mother off the plane."

Lawyer Lin was so coaxed by this kid that his face was full of excitement, he turned his head and looked at her husband beside him, raised his lips and sighed with a smile: "Look at your son's cleverness."

As before, when the old couple came to city A, they would always live in the youngest son's house.

On this day, Ye Bai happened to be called by the school tutor to do something, and he could only show up at night, so lunch became a simple and pure time for the four of them.

When his younger brother and Aunt Lin were busy for lunch in the restaurant, Liang Zhao accompanied Professor Liang to drink tea in the living room.Surrounded by the elegant fragrance of tea, the relationship between father and son is extremely harmonious.

Probably because Ahe's recent comforting effect is very good. When Liang Zhao was chatting with his father, he felt the almost flat emotions of the old man.

He occasionally asked casually about his work in Africa, but kept silent about other personal matters.Liang Zhao then only answered some trivial matters of life, and did not take the initiative to start any topics.

It wasn't until after lunch that the old man felt sleepy and wanted to go to his room to rest, Liang Zhao felt relieved.Turning around and walking into the busy kitchen of Lawyer Lin and his younger brother, he tapped on the door panel twice with his knuckles.

"Ahe, go and clear the dining table, I'll do the dishes."

"Ah?" Liangxi and Puzzle, who were struggling with the oil stains, looked up, "Hey, asked to wash the dishes? Where did the sun come out today?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get out." Before the kid in front of him finished laughing, Liang Zhao had already grabbed his collar and pulled his life out.

Lawyer Lin who stayed in the kitchen smiled, guessing that the elder brother probably wanted to talk to him, so he waited considerately, washing and washing the plate of fruit in his hand.

"Auntie, can I have a chat with you?" Liang Zhao turned off the faucet and said in a low voice.

Lawyer Lin had expected it a long time ago, and nodded lovingly: "Of course, it's rare that the eldest in the family also needs psychological counseling. Let's talk about it because of something."

After a little hesitation, Liang Zhao said, "Because of a child, or rather, because of a doubt in my heart."

Lawyer Lin paused, then continued to listen quietly.

"Ahe should have told you quietly, I actually fell in love." Liang Zhao confessed his feelings in front of his elders for the first time.After all, if the younger brother wanted to help persuade his father, he would definitely ask his aunt to help him.

"Well, I do know a little bit." Lawyer Lin replied truthfully: "But I don't quite understand what you mean. Where did the child come from?"

Liangzhao explained: "When I first met him, I rescued a boy in an orphanage. They hit it off very well. For some reason, it is difficult for this child to be adopted. So, a while ago, he asked my opinion very tactfully. .”

Lawyer Lin inserted his fingertips into the cleaning basin, and while gently scrubbing the fruit, he lowered his eyes and said, "Although you have a lot of concerns, you didn't refuse, did you?"

Aunt Lin always knew everyone in the family, and Liang Zhao was not surprised that she was guessed, so she nodded seriously.

"Is it now?"

"Of course not. After two years, if we get along well, we will consider it, not only with the child, but also with the two of us."

Lawyer Lin smiled: "Can you tell me what kind of person he is? Is he good at getting along with children?"

"He is a child himself." Liang Zhao replied without thinking.

Recalling the person who almost missed the flight this morning because he stayed in bed, it is conceivable that if the child does not want to get up early to go to school in the future, he will most likely sleep with him in his arms.

Liang Zhao lowered his eyes and sighed, and added in a deep voice: "Don't mention setting an example."

Such a helpless tone made the smile on Lawyer Lin's face deeper.

After she was quiet for a few seconds, she whispered softly: "Actually, in a relationship of loving and being loved, it's not just who grows up unilaterally. Don't you just worry about the other party, don't you panic?"

Liang Zhao paused.

He is actually no stranger to the word adoption.

At that time, I watched Ah He being brought back, and slowly integrated into this family.During this period, everyone in the family has paid a lot, and no one else will know those hardships.

Although Lielie is still young, she may encounter new problems.Accompanying a child to grow up, just thinking about the long process, Liang Zhao felt a faint throbbing in his heart.

The expression on Lawyer Lin's face was as usual, and his tone of voice was as warm as the spring sunshine.

"Frankly speaking, you should be worried about more than that. For example, you may have become accustomed to indifference and celibacy, and you don't want to add more entanglements; for example, you have to consider whether children who grow up in same-sex families will cause psychological deviation? Another example, Worried that the kids will be left unattended while both of you are busy at work..."

Liang Zhao lowered his head and pursed the corners of his lips slightly.Sometimes he really felt that Aunt Lin's profession was not a lawyer, but a psychologist.

"Azhao, as a mother without fertility, I can tell you responsibly that before adopting a child and raising him as an adult, I thought I had made full preparations, but it turned out that it was far from enough."

Lawyer Lin put down the things in his hands, and his eyes fell on Liang Zhao tenderly.

"For "pro-children" who are not related by blood, in the process of getting along and accepting each other, they will enjoy joy and often be accompanied by distress. The state of mind of your father and I are constantly changing. Only love is still cute at the beginning. Yu's share."

"This love has nothing to do with poverty or wealth, health or disease, opposite sex or same sex, it is the source of everything. I am actually very happy that you will have this idea, even if it is not mature, but you still have a future, and Professor Liang and I."

Liang Zhao raised his cold eyes and repeated in a low voice: "You and Professor Liang?"

"Yeah, when we get old and retire, don't you sons plan to take care of the 'empty-nester' elderly and let us take care of the children? Or do you think it's because of an unpleasant fight with your father last time?" , do you really want to talk about an unblessed love in the future?"

The smile on the corner of Liang Zhao's mouth was faint, "I never thought that Dad would not bless us, but he needs some time to accept it."

"Everything takes time." After the joke, Lawyer Lin's tone returned to seriousness.

"Since you answered subconsciously for two years, it means that you are not sure yourself. You might as well wait for another two years. Many things seem bizarre, but when they reach the point where they should happen, they will become smooth."

"There is no pair of parents who are born with the shape of their children imprinted on them. You will gradually prepare for it. There is just one thing, every child's innocence and innocence deserve to be treated kindly. Don't just give him hope and give him up easily. "

"I know that." Liang Zhao nodded calmly.

Lawyer Lin turned his head and looked carefully at every subtle expression on Liang Zhao's face. He stretched his eyebrows and smiled, "Then let me guess the doubt in your heart?"

Seeing the tall figure beside her nodding, she continued, "It must be because of the change."

"For example, the problem of children, if it was in the past, it would not be a problem, because you would never have such thoughts. Do many changes that are happening quietly make you feel inexplicably flustered?"

Liang Zhao gently rubbed the end of his brows with his fingertips, calmly said: "No, I don't think it is a shameful thing to change for him."

Aunt Lin smiled, patted her tall and broad shoulders lightly, then handed over the fruit plate in her hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Actually, you don't need my solution, it's all washed, take it out. "

Liang Zhao let out a long sigh of relief facing the sink full of foam, and ended the conversation peacefully.

This year's National Day holiday is not as long as expected.

After Liang Zhao had eaten a few potluck meals with his parents and copied the data several times in the laboratory, there was not much rest time left.

On the last day of the statutory holiday, Liang Gong still devoted himself to the research institute.Fortunately, after being alone with the cold experimental equipment for several days, he finally waited for the return date of his business trip boyfriend.

Liang Zhao finished work early that day, and when he was about to pack up and leave, his phone suddenly vibrated lightly.The caller was the man who was supposed to be sailing home tonight.

"Lianggong, did you miss me?" A familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Liang Zhao raised the corners of his lips, gently rubbed his temples with his fingertips, and answered the compulsory question on the daily call with a simple but patient "um".

Seemingly dissatisfied with this word, Ling Xuan smiled warmly: "Then are you busy? I just participated in a very boring event, and now I want to talk to my boyfriend more to recover my depressed mood."

"I'm not busy now, what do you want to say?" Liang Zhao asked softly.

Ling Xuan pondered for a moment, then said in a gentle voice: "Well... I have a good news and a bad news here, which one does Liang Gong want to hear first?"

"OK."

Liang Zhao made a choice without too much hesitation, and then the person on the other end of the phone really shared a recent piece of good news with him.

"The negotiation of this project went smoothly, and the result was even better than I expected."

After listening to Ling Xuan's words, Liang Zhao vaguely sensed what he was going to say later, and continued to ask in a calm tone: "It's really something to be happy about, what about the bad ones?"

"The bad news is that one meeting has been postponed, and it won't be finished until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..."

really.

Liang Zhao glanced across the quiet and empty office, was silent for two seconds, and replied in a deep voice, "Well, I just happen to have to work overtime today."

"I'm sorry." Ling Xuan coaxed carefully, using a coquettish sinking ending, expressing that he was actually returning to his heart.

Unable to bear to say anything more, Liang Zhao could only comfort him: "Understood, work hard, I will wait for you."

"Well..." The call ended here.

However, just two seconds before hanging up, there seemed to be a half sentence of English voice broadcast from the other end of the speaker.

Liang Zhao raised his eyebrows calmly.After hanging up the phone, I still changed clothes to get off work as usual, drove home and passed by the supermarket to buy groceries.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

As usual, Liang Zhao was quietly leaning on the sofa reading a book, when he suddenly heard the sound of a string coming from outside the door, he gently closed the book and stood up to check.

As soon as he walked to the door, a flashing figure threw himself into his arms, and the familiar smell of shampoo lingered in his nose.

"Ling Xuan?" Liang Zhao wrapped his arms around the person in his arms.

"Good evening, Lianggong." The person who answered hugged the boyfriend in front of him tightly and refused to let go.

Liang Zhao was so hooped by him that he couldn't breathe, and asked with a doting smile, "Didn't you say the meeting was postponed?"

"Yeah, but I didn't say I'd be late."

While answering confidently, the young man held Liang Zhao's cheek, kissed him closely, and pushed him all the way into the living room.

Those who did not resist were pushed against the glass door of the restaurant, and their shoulders collided with the wall to make a bang.

Hearing the sound, Ling Xuan raised his head, reflecting the soft light by the dining table, he actually saw the table full of dishes.

"..." The young man froze for a while, and asked after a while, "You, do you know that I'm coming back?"

Of course, you can hear your flight announcement on the phone.

Although Liang Zhao knew it in his heart, he didn't reveal it in his mouth.He only turned his head slightly to look at the window, where there were two neat rows of flower boxes that had just been moved into the room.

There are more than [-] caryophyllales in the small potted plants, showing vitality in the light colors.

"do not know."

A scientific researcher lied harmlessly, and then said leisurely: "But I watered these Lithops a few times, I think they will probably communicate to you through telepathy..."

"I miss you."

Ling Xuan raised the corners of his lips with clear eye waves, and the soft smile around his eyes made his heart feel itchy. He raised his head and kissed his lover's forehead, sighing softly.

"It's not in vain to teach, my family's Lianggong has finally learned to reverse the routine."
