boy with pearl necklace

3.

Yu Beilian's funeral was held in a splendid manner. After all, he was a famous painter, so many reporters came.Yu Changan was worried that someone would dig into the relationship between his father and Lu Ming, but he found that Lu Ming, who was dressed in black, had almost no sense of presence among everyone, no one cared about him, and no one talked to him.

Standing beside the coffin of his father Yu Beilian, Yu Chang'an tried his best to show a look of grief on his face, but he was making plans for the future in his heart: first, he would dismiss Aunt Qi, and now he was upset when he saw that face; Transform Yu Beilian's studio into his study.As for Lu Ming's going or staying, Yu Chang'an didn't think about it, and his heart was full of contradictions.

He received the news of Yu Beilian's death last Saturday.Early that morning, an unfamiliar number called his cell phone. On the other end of the phone was a timid boy crying. He asked if you were Yu Changan.Yu Changan said, it was me.The boy began to cry, his voice was fragmented, and his sentences were intermittent. He said that he was Luming, and Teacher Yu was dead.

who diedYu Changan asked.

Teacher Yu.Yu Changan understood that Mr. Yu, that is, Yu Beilian, his father, died.

Yu Changan asked Yu Beilian how he died.Lu Ming didn't talk about life and death, he just asked Yu Chang'an to come to Cang'anju to help him.

Later, Yu Changan met with Yu Beilian's lawyer. The lawyer said that this villa and Yu Beilian's property were all inherited by Yu Changan, and that Lu Ming could not get a cent because Lu Ming never married Yu Beilian.The lawyer also said that Lu Ming was sent to Yu Beilian, but by whom, and why, it is inconvenient to tell Yu Chang'an, because there are too many people involved.Even if he didn't make it clear, Yu Chang'an could almost guess the various transactions involved, and he scolded Yu Beilian a hundred and eighty times in his heart, but he couldn't get over his hatred.

His father died suddenly, and he got the villa he had dreamed of. Yu Changan couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to him, so he went to the cemetery to visit his mother early the next morning.He placed the cakes, fruits and bouquets that his mother liked to eat in front of the tomb, and said, "Father is dead." When he said this, Yu Changan didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness, and he even felt a little relaxed in his heart, but he disguised it very well, At least the expression is sad.

Yu Chang'an should have a lot to say to Yan Ruyu, but after he sat down against Yan Ruyu's tomb, he didn't know where to start.He subconsciously hid the existence of Luming.

Yu Chang'an said softly, "Mom, the biggest mistake you've ever made is loving him too much. He's not worth it."

Fortunately, he died, and he died before he was 50 years old.Yu Changan raised his head and squinted at the blue sky and white clouds, but he couldn't help but smile a little.He said to Yan Ruyu in his heart: "It's funny, do you know how he died? Immediately."

He died on Lu Ming.Yu Chang'an thought, no wonder Lu Ming cried so hard, did he think he killed Yu Beilian.

After the funeral, Yu Changan was exhausted, and he drove Lu Ming home. The two of them were silent all the way, and Lu Ming kept looking down at his hands.

Yu Changan didn't know how to arrange Luming's future for a while.On the one hand, he thinks that he has no obligation to take in Lu Ming, and it is somewhat strange for him to live with such a relationship with Lu Ming; Knowing that there is still a child with him, if he is allowed to leave, how will he live?

Yu Changan was in a dilemma, and finally decided to hand over the choice to Lu Ming.Even if you want to raise Luming, you can afford it with the inheritance left by Yu Beilian, so let's count it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

He let Aunt Qi go that night.How could Aunt Qi be willing, she first threatened her morally with tears in her eyes, and then cursed like a shrew.Yu Changan was annoyed, and told her to shut up with a cold face, and said, "I went to see my mother a few days ago." He paused, and Aunt Qi was really quiet when she heard this, and Yu Changan continued, "Mom has been away for seven years. , I haven't been happy for a second in these seven years...

"She didn't die because of taking medicine, she was killed by you... Do you think she doesn't know? She knows about you and your father... From the first time she found out, she should have let you go, she kept you She has been kind for so long! Now this family is in charge of me, I am not as kind as her, so you can go."

In the end, Yu Changan kindly paid Aunt Qi half a year's salary more.When Aunt Qi dragged the suitcase and left, she was still cursing.

After Aunt Qi left, Yu Changan felt at ease physically and mentally.Next, he hired a design company to completely remodel Yu Beilian's studio.During the days of redecoration, workers came in and knocked every day, so Lu Ming hid in the bedroom for almost a whole day, and only came out of the room when it was time to eat—he worked as a temporary nanny, Take care of cooking and cleaning.

On the day when the renovation was completed, after the workers had left, Lu Ming took the initiative to help Yu Changan clean up the new study.Yu Changan accepted Lu Ming's help as a matter of course, and in a happy mood, he decided to order a sumptuous takeaway meal to celebrate.

The takeaway was delivered to the door by the staff of the property. He bowed slightly to Yu Changan who opened the door, and spoke in honorific terms. He also expressed regret and sadness for Yu Beilian's death, and asked Yu Changan to express his condolences.Yu Changan's originally happy expression could only turn into sadness. He pursed his lips, lowered the corners of his mouth, frowned, and the pain of losing a loved one vividly appeared on his face.After receiving the food, he went directly into the restaurant, where Lu Ming had already set the table and chopsticks.

Yu Changan handed the good meal to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming whispered thank you.Yu Changan waved his hand: "You're welcome."

The two were silent for a while, and Yu Changan said, "Lu Ming, do you have any plans for the future?"

The image of Aunt Qi dragging the suitcase out of the gate emerged in Lu Ming's mind. He thought that Mr. Yu was politely asking him to leave, but he had nowhere to go.In an instant, there were bright teardrops in Lu Ming's big eyes, and his nose and ears also turned red.During this period of time, it's not that he hasn't searched for cheap houses online. If he doesn't have children, he can even sleep on a bench in the park, but children can't suffer like that.He didn't dare to look at Yu Chang'an, and murmured, "Can you, can I leave later...I can work, I can also go out to work and pay the rent...Can you let me leave later..."

After saying the last word, Lu Ming's tears fell and hit the table like a small crystal.

Lu Ming's tears broke Yu Chang'an's soft heart.Yu Changan didn't mean to drive people away, so he coaxed softly: "I didn't mean that, I won't drive you away."

Lu Ming raised his head again, and his eyes met Yu Changan, he was afraid that Yu Changan was lying to him and teasing him.

Yu Changan understood Lu Ming's fear and said, "Really, I won't lie to you."

After Lu Ming thanked him in a low voice, he didn't say a word, for fear that Yu Chang'an would be disgusted by his making noise.And Yu Changan didn't say anything anymore, so as not to scare Luming again.

So the two of them finished their meal in silence.

It rained at night, with lightning and thunder.Lu Ming hugged the child tightly, feeling terrified and grateful to be able to stay.The child was sleeping soundly in his arms, and he was holding a book to read, trying to find peace in the book.

The title of the book is "Dark Man Ren Jian".

Teacher Yu's disgusting attitude towards this book made Lu Ming very curious.Lu Ming didn't know why, when he saw this lonely book in the trash can, he felt that part of Yu Changan's soul was also discarded, his heart twitched suddenly, and sad and sentimental emotions swept over him.So he quietly picked up the book from the trash can, wiped it carefully, and put it in a small compartment in the closet.

"Dark Man Ren Jian" is equally obscure and depressing from the title, cover to content.In the book, a woman named Yanyan met a 20-year-old boy named Lian Rui at the age of 17, and then accidentally had a child, and eloped with the boy to another city against the opposition of her family and friends.Lian Rui later became a well-known photographer. He took many photos of Yan Yan, most of which were "artistic photos of the body", to put it bluntly, they were nude photos.Yan Yanjiao's good body was exchanged by the photographer for money and fame, and then he began to spend his days and nights, frequently staying out at night.Yan Yan, who was looking forward to the photographer's prodigal son's return, finally spent his life in the hopeless waiting day after day.

On the second day after picking up "Dark Man Renren", Lu Ming quietly finished reading it. When he saw the second third, he suddenly realized that he had already read this novel.It was a Friday before the summer vacation a few years ago, when Lu Ming was cleaning the classroom, he saw a dilapidated novel under the back desk, missing the cover and most of the content.He picked it up and read a page and was fascinated.When he turned to the part where Yanyan was a mannequin, he found that there were dried and mottled liquid traces on the paper. Lu Ming knew that the boys in the back row were masturbating to this part.He took the book home and carefully wiped off the marks with a damp rag, which made the book even more crumpled.

This book has been with Lu Ming for a long time. He doesn't know the title of the book, hasn't read the first half of the content, and doesn't understand Yan Yan's feelings for Lian Rui.But the loneliness revealed between the lines in the novel deeply touched him, making him unforgettable.

When Yan Yan first met 17-year-old Lian Rui, he was his language tutor, tutoring at his home for two hours every Saturday.Boys don’t like to study and get distracted frequently, so Yanyan told him the saying: There is a golden house in the book, the boy looked at Yanyan, the handsome face made the 20-year-old pure girl blush, he looked into her eyes and said : "Is there Yan Ruyu in the book?"

The word "Yan Ruyu" and Yu Beilian's strange attitude towards this book made Lu Ming understand that this novel is Yu Changan's debut novel, Yanyan in the book is Yu Changan's mother Yan Ruyu, and the photographer is Yu Beilian.Regarding the child of Yanyan and the photographer, Yu Changan did not let it come into this world.

And this night, I don't know how many times Lu Ming has opened this book, and he is still fascinated by it.Even the thunderstorm and lightning outside could not bother him.

At the end of the book, the sky lightened slightly and the rain stopped.Yanyan's life also stopped in one morning.Photographer Lian Rui was celebrating the half-year anniversary with his new love model, and Yan Yan died alone at home.

She died, and Lu Ming's heart was empty again.He carefully put the book back into the compartment, where Luming's personal belongings were kept—the small box of the electric masturbation stick Yu Beilian gave him, and an envelope.Lu Ming took out the envelope, which contained a bank card and a photo.He found this photo when sorting out Yu Beilian's belongings. On it, there was a handsome boy standing in front of the main gate of Cangzhou University. The writing on the back of the photo was beautiful: "Chang'an was admitted to university, September 2010."

This typesetting should have been written by Yan Ruyu.

It took Lu Ming a long time to adjust his mood, and then he went downstairs to make breakfast.What he thought when he saw Yu Changan who had just finished washing and walked into the dining room was: Fortunately, she kept Yu Changan.Lu Ming saw the trace of "Yan Yan" in Yu Chang'an's eyes, and his eye sockets were wet almost instantly.
