The Canary's Trap

On New Year's Eve, the old lady hurried back to Lu's house from her cousin Lu Ling, saying that she wanted to spend the New Year with Lu Ling.

When Lu Ling received a call from his cousin, Shen Yuchuan was making noodles in the kitchen, preparing to make his favorite mushroom dumplings.

Ten minutes ago, Xiao Yuan sent a message saying that he would come to be a light bulb and accompany them on New Year's Eve.

After Lu Ling hung up the phone, he sighed deeply, lightly hugged Shen Yuchuan from behind, and whispered softly, "Brother Shen..."

As soon as he acted like a baby, Shen Yuchuan guessed that he had something to say, or that he had caused some trouble, so he turned around and asked: "Say it directly, don't be tricky."

Lu Ling had no choice but to tell the truth: "Ah...Brother Shen, it's like this, just now my cousin called me and said that grandma would go home for a few days to spend the New Year with me, so—"

"Understood." Shen Yuchuan patted the flour on his hands, "You go out and wait for me for a while, I will wash your hands and send you there."

Grateful light flashed in Lu Ling's eyes, and he apologized, "I'm sorry, boyfriend, I can't spend New Year with you this year."

"There will be opportunities in the future, you should spend more time with the elderly."

Lu Ling nodded, let go of his hands, and left the kitchen.

After a while, Shen Yuchuan picked up the coat on the hanger and waved to Lu Ling: "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Lu Ling casually packed a few changes of clothes, and ran to his side with a "da da da", Shen Yuchuan took the small suitcase in his hand, and led him out of the room.

On a winter night, it was New Year's Eve again, and there were no people on the streets. During the reunion, every household locked their doors and windows, and celebrated the festival comfortably together.

Lu Ling looked at the young couples in twos and threes who occasionally pressed the road on the street, his eyes were bright.

He suddenly remembered what the old lady told him, and laughed out loud.

Seeing him smirking alone, Shen Yuchuan's face darkened: "Why are you so happy?" But he began to wonder in his heart, could it be that he has been torturing him so hard these days, and the little guy was able to avoid him, so he was very excited?

Lu Ling grabbed his arm, and his smile widened: "Brother Shen..."

"Say."

"Don't be mean to me," Lu Ling complained, and then blinked, "The last time grandma left, she told me to take my granddaughter-in-law home, and she wanted to take a look."

Shen Yuchuan braked, turned to look at Lu Ling in surprise: "You..."

"So, Shen Yuchuan, boyfriend", Lu Ling teased with her lips pursed, "Ms. Shen, let grandma see how handsome her granddaughter-in-law is, how—"

"Okay." Shen Yuchuan interrupted him suddenly.

At this moment, it was Lu Ling's turn to be stunned. He just mentioned it casually, but he didn't feel that Shen Yu Chuanhui agreed.

"Brother Shen..."

Shen Yuchuan rubbed his hair: "Then you sit in the car and wait, I'll go shopping for something, this is the first time I'm going there as a granddaughter-in-law, so I can't lose my manners. Lu Ling was stunned: "But, Brother Shen..."

"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Shen Yuchuan kissed his forehead, Lu Ling narrowed his eyes, feeling warm in his heart.

"Brother Shen, I'll go with you." Lu Ling was about to get out of the car as he spoke.

Shen Yuchuan pressed his shoulder: "No need, I'll be there soon, the temperature outside is low, you stay here obediently."

Lu Ling stopped struggling and sat down again.

Ten minutes later, I returned with a full load of depression, and it didn't take long. Anyway, I bought whatever was expensive, so I didn't bother.

After putting his things in the trunk, he got into the car, stroked Lu Ling's hair, and started the car.

When they arrived at the Lu family's villa, the old lady was already waiting at the door. Lu Ling looked at the old man's expectant gaze from the car window, his eyes fogged up, and his hot breathing faded away.

Shen Yuchuan parked the car, Lu Ling got out of the car first, the old lady looked at him, smiled kindly, Lu Ling ran over, hugged her shoulders affectionately, and said in a crisp voice, "Grandma!"

Just when the old lady was about to say something, Shen Yuchuan got down from the driver's seat and glanced at the two of them.

Lu Ling stammered, anxious how to explain that Shen Yuchuan was going to his house for the New Year's Eve, when she saw Shen Yuchuan striding over, greeting the old lady with a calm and natural expression: "Hello, grandma, long time no see .”

The old lady looked puzzled: "You are..."

Shen Yuchuan smiled slightly, and replied softly: "Grandma may not remember me, but I always remember you."

"I'm Lu Ling's university professor. I came here once before and we met once."

Sure enough, the old lady began to recall, and she really remembered.

Shen Yuchuan continued: "I am very impressed with grandma, after so long, you are still so glorious."

The old lady didn't care what the man came to the house for, seeing him handsome and polite, she had a good impression of him, so she just smiled and greeted him politely.

Lu Ling never knew that Shen Yuchuan's mouth could be so sweet, he smiled, and continued: "Grandma, in fact, Teacher Shen is not just my professor, he—"

"He's still Uncle Shen's son. We had a good relationship when we were young. Mr. Shen also took good care of me. How many times did you meet him at that time?" Lu Ling looked at Shen Yuchuan, his eyes still bent.

Shen Yuchuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Well, Grandma, I wonder if you still remember?"

The old lady raised her head sharply, looked at Shen Yuchuan, and looked at it for a long time, and the memories in her mind were spliced ​​together in an instant: "It's really Yu Chuan?!"

"How can the old woman forget that Lulu liked to pester you when he was young, this child..." She continued to look at Shen Yuchuan, "When he grows up, he has changed, even more handsome than before, no wonder grandma didn't recognize him."

"You, I don't know, Xiaolulu cried for a long time after you left..."

Lu Ling blushed, and grabbed the old lady's arm, not wanting her to continue talking.

But the old lady remembered the old things and sighed: "Son, are you developing in China now?"

She remembered that Shen Yuchuan's parents were divorcing at the time, and he finally went to the United States with his mother. At that time, he still felt distressed for a long time.

Without waiting for Shen Yuchuan to answer, the old man clapped his hands: "Oh, it's easy to forget things when you are old. Lu Lu said that he was an intern in your company." The old man looked at Shen Yuchuan with satisfaction, "Our Lulu is simple, But people are very smart, you will teach him more in the future."

Shen Yuchuan's smile gradually brightened: "Don't worry, grandma, if Lu Lu needs my help, I will never shirk."

The old lady seemed to have received some important promise, mainly because she felt that Shen Yuchuan had been excellent since she was a child, and if Lu Ling had a deep friendship with such a person, he would definitely benefit a lot, and wanted to entrust something, Lu Ling hurriedly lay between the two of them, hugging The old lady leaned over her shoulder and said softly, "Grandma, Mr. Shen is alone in the country now, it's rare to meet him today, he wants to come and see grandma." He was really afraid that the old man would reveal his past embarrassing things in his old age.

The old lady was naturally happy: "That's it, then don't go back today." She turned her head to look at Shen Yuchuan and smiled: "Yu Chuan, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time, and you will be alone when you go back, so I will stay here today Spend the New Year with grandma."

Shen Yuchuan readily responded, turned back and took out the large and small bags of gifts from the trunk.

-

In fact, during the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu Ling felt that he was the extra person. The old lady kept pulling Shen Yuchuan to ask questions, not to mention how satisfied she was. Lu Ling looked angry, but was actually very happy in his heart.

The old lady likes Shen Yuchuan very much, and the boyfriend he chose is really excellent.

After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Lu Ling saw that the time was almost up, and forbade the old lady to stay up late, urging her to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

He went upstairs to clean up Shen Yuchuan's room by himself.

Shen Yuchuan looked at the people busy there, curled the corners of his lips, Lu Ling was annoyed by his staring, and turned to stare at him.

Shen Yuchuan smiled and said, "You really let me sleep in the guest room?"

"Or else?" Lu Ling asked back.

Shen Yuchuan walked up to him, couldn't help but lift him up, and carried him back to Lu Ling's bedroom: "I don't agree."

He carried him to the bed, bent down, took his hand, and kissed him: "Lu Lu, do you think grandma is satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law?"

Lu Ling was amused by him: "It's okay."

Shen Yuchuan didn't want to choke with him, and thought for a while: "Lu Lu, did you really cry when I left?"

Lu Ling was in a bad mood, as expected, he still remembered this matter, and his face was a little troubled: "No! Grandma remembered it wrong."

"Oh, I remember wrong." Shen Yuchuan pinched his nose.

Lu Ling's face was flushed, and water was reflected in his eyes. He was angry and ashamed, but he was very attractive. Shen Yuchuan wanted to lower his head to kiss him, but he was afraid that the gun would go off. There were still old people living downstairs, so it was not suitable, so he ended up kissing him. When he reached the strands of his hair, he promised gently: "My little friend, it's my fault. From now on, I won't make you cry again."

Lu Ling hugged him back, and finally said sincerely: "Brother Shen, I am very happy today. I have fulfilled grandma's wish and brought you here to meet her."

At this time, the phone "ding" heard a message, and Lu Ling opened it to check.

The first one is Ji Dingzhe's New Year's greetings, which should be sent in groups. Lu Ling was stunned, and replied to him: [Bamboo Horse, Happy New Year! ], after thinking about it, added another sentence.

Across the winter night, Ji Dingzhe on the other side had been clutching his phone tightly. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief when the news came. Then, his expression suddenly dimmed, and he smiled slowly, saying silently, Lulu, Happy New Year.

But he didn't want to just say Happy New Year, what he really wanted to say would never be able to be said again in his whole life.

"Lu Lu, what are you staring at?" Shen Yuchuan asked while watching Lu Ling staring at the phone in a daze.

Lu Ling raised her eyes and replied, "Oh, it was Ji Dingzhe who sent me a blessing message."

Shen Yuchuan nodded, got up and hugged Lu Ling to his lap, Lu Ling put his arms around his neck: "Brother Shen, do you know how I replied to him?"

"Ok?"

"I said, Ji Dingzhe, you have to be happy, and you have to be happy even if you forget about being unhappy."

Shen Yuchuan froze for a moment, and hugged him a little tighter in his arms.

It's hard to forget what you're unhappy about, but it's no good not to forget it.

Lu Ling and Ji Dingzhe have never walked the same path. For him, the road to take is indeed not easy, but life is such a process of constant compromise and reconciliation with himself.

After passing by, it is a new life and meeting new people.
