Brother President, open the door for me
Chapter 33 "Happy Birthday, My Puppy."
That night, Jiang Zhu had a dream.
In the dream, he came back again, to the familiar amusement park, and saw the cute little boy again.
He seems to have grown taller and better looking.
But Jiang Zhu couldn't see his face clearly.
**
On this day, Jiang Zhu went to work normally to deal with work. With hot tea in one hand and a stack of documents in the other, Xiao Liu knocked on the door of Jiang Zhu's office excitedly.
"What's the matter, Xiao Liu, in such a hurry? Come in."
Xiao Liu was full of joy, and handed him the document, "Mr. Jiang, our company has a big project, please take a look."
"Really?" Jiang Zhu took the document and looked at it. On the first page, in the column of the person in charge of cooperation, the name of Lu Mingheng, the chairman of the Lu Group, was written.
Lu's Group is considered the top group in E City. Countless small companies can't get a chance to cooperate with them. Now they have offered to cooperate with Chuangshi. Jiang Zhu is naturally happy in his heart, "I see, I will read the contents of the document carefully. , and give feedback to Chairman Lu as soon as possible."
Xiao Liu: "Our creation of the world has really come a long way, thanks to Mr. Jiang!"
"Hey, the company is jointly operated by so many people from top to bottom. The company is good because everyone is doing well, not me alone. That's all right, Xiao Liu, go do what you do, and you should meet with the chairman some other day Let’s have a face-to-face meeting and make an appointment at that time.”
It has always been Jiang Zhu's dream to cooperate with Lu's, but he didn't expect his dream to come to him so soon, which is really a surprise.
He was about to tell Mo Zihan the good news on WeChat, when Liang Xiaonian's phone call came in hastily.
What's going on at this time?
"Hello, Changchang."
"Brother Jiang!"
"elder brother."
There were two voices on the other end of the phone, and Jiang Zhu immediately recognized that it was him and Lu Xiangnan.
"Brother Jiang, help me! Let me tell you, we are too reckless! My bicycle was stolen, and the wheel of Lu Daddy's bicycle was punctured! What a bitch! I am so mad, we have a midterm exam today, and we just took the exam this morning After finishing the Chinese, I can't go back now, woo woo woo!"
Lu Xiangnan typed a patch: "It's really broken this time."
Jiang Zhu understood that he was going to pick up the two babies now.
Exams should not be delayed.
"It's a good thing I live in the same building as you, otherwise what should I do?"
"Oh, my good brother Jiang, the most handsome brother Jiang in the world, please! Please feel sorry for us both! The child still wants to go back and take a nap!"
"Understood, I will help you deliver your school exams before going to work in the afternoon."
"Thank you Brother Jiang!! I love you! Bobobobo!"
"Hang up for me." Lu Xiangnan coldly helped him press the end button.
Jiang Zhu turned off the phone, smiled and shook his head, "These two children."
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhu was afraid that he would sleep in and delay the two exams, so he didn't even take a nap, so he drove the car from the underground parking lot to the door after eating.
The two made an appointment to meet Jiang Zhu at the door at a certain time.
"Brother Jiang! My savior! Here I come!" He and Lu Xiangnan habitually sat in the back seat and the co-pilot, and Lu Xiangnan consciously fastened his seat belt.
Jiang Zhu asked while driving: "How is it? Is the Chinese test easy? I remember that the Chinese test papers for the third-term high school entrance examination in Chenghai used to be difficult."
"Damn it, Brother Jiang, you remember it too clearly, really! I read it three times for reading comprehension and still haven't understood it."
"Don't just read it, but go to the article with questions to find key information."
"Ahhhhh, the senior of the university Bajiang! Quickly pass on your experience!"
"Here, we're here." Jiang Zhu found an open space and stopped the car.
"Ah, why did we arrive so soon, woo woo woo woo!" Liang Xiaonian got out of the car reluctantly, went around and knocked on Jiang Zhu's car window.
"what happened?"
"Jiang Ge University Ba University God, can you give me your hand, I want to be part of your happiness!"
Jiang Zhule said, "Why don't you hold No.1 in your class?"
"Can their group of chickens be compared to Brother Jiang? Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going in, just touch it, please."
Jiang Zhu gestured to stretch out his hand.
The side road frowned to the south.
Want to hold or touch?
He immediately pressed the button to raise Jiang Zhu's car window back up, "Hurry up and get out."
"Hey, ah? I haven't touched it yet, fuck!! Lu Xiangnan, you fucking..." Liang Xiaonian stomped his feet on the spot twice, and entered the school gate helplessly, his back full of resentment.
Jiang Zhu turned around, rubbed Lu Xiangnan's hair, and joked, "Why, is the puppy jealous?"
"Yes, jealous. You are not allowed to rub his hair, and you are not allowed to touch his hands, not even for a moment." Lu Xiangnan gently raised his four fingers, "You are my brother alone."
Jiang Zhu was a little startled by his rising tone, "Nannan, you... what's wrong with you?"
What's wrong with the mood?
Lu Xiangnan knew that Jiang Zhu was joking when he said that he was jealous, and he also realized that his emotions seemed to be extreme, so he calmed down a little, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm sorry brother."
"Really okay?"
"Really." Lu Xiangnan unbuckled his seat belt and put his schoolbag on his back, "I'm leaving."
"Well, come on for the exam, don't be too nervous."
Lu Xiangnan didn't speak any more.
When Jiang Zhu's car gradually went away, he stood quietly in front of the gate alone, and took out the group photo from his school uniform pocket.
**
The three-day midterm exam came to an end quickly, and on the night of the end, Chenghai canceled the evening self-study and let the students go back to rest.
This time, Lu Xiangnan didn't call Jiang Zhu. He dragged his broken bicycle to the repair shop near the school for repair.
"Handsome guy, you'll have to wait for a while, maybe a little long. If you can't wait, you can ask your parents to pick it up, and you can pick it up tomorrow."
"No, I'll wait here."
Lu Xiangnan sat on the stone pier next to him and looked at his phone.
Let's talk to Jiang Zhu, otherwise he is worried about what to do.
[N.: Brother, I’m here to repair my bicycle, so you don’t need to pick me up, I’ll ride back after repairing it. 】
【Brother: You really don’t want me to pick it up?Are you outside or inside?It's cold outside, go inside and wait. 】
[N.: It's okay, I'm fine. 】
【Brother: Ah, right, you finished the exam, right?Remember to knock on my door when you come back later. 】
[N.: What's wrong?Is brother in trouble? 】
【Brother: Ah, it’s okay, you’ll know when you come back. 】
Lu Xiangnan held his mobile phone and wondered.
When did Jiang Zhu start to whet people's appetite?
Why did Jiang Zhu take the initiative to find him?
Originally, he wanted to sit here and wait slowly, but he was too curious. After all, the number of times Jiang Zhu took the initiative was very few.
"Excuse me, uncle, how long will it take to fix it?"
"Ah, about four or ten minutes, can you wait?"
Four 10 minutes.
How should he get through this difficult 10 minutes.
...there is a high probability that I won't be able to survive.
"I'm sorry uncle, I'll come back tomorrow to pick up the bike." Before the uncle could respond, he started running home with his bag on his back.
My legs hurt from running.
But he really couldn't wait.
What did Jiang Zhu want him for?
Lu Xiangnan finally ran downstairs, panting and calling Jiang Zhu while going upstairs, "Hey, brother, are you home?"
"I'm here, you're here so soon? Aren't you a bicycle repairer?"
"I came running."
"What? Why are you running? You've healed and your scars forgot to hurt? Your legs..."
"Don't talk about brother, I'm at your door, open the door for me."
"The door is open, come in directly."
The door is open?
Lu Xiangnan slowly put down his phone, and gently pushed the half-open door——
There was only darkness in the room.
what happened?
He exited and reconfirmed the house number several times, and it was 201, which was correct.
Where is Jiang Zhuren?Why don't you turn on any lights at home?
At this time, a light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and Jiang Zhu's smiling face appeared behind the light.
The source of light is the candles on the cake.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." After singing the last crappy birthday song, Jiang Zhu just came to Lu Xiangnan with a cake.
"Happy birthday, my puppy."
Lu Xiangnan stared at his face for several seconds, then looked down at the cake in his hand.
Two layers of white cream are poured on the cake. The shapes of the two candles are the numbers "1" and "9". In the middle of "1" and "9" is a puppy squeezed out of chocolate sauce. There is a basketball and two "Nan" characters.
He lowered his head and never raised it again.
"Today is November 11, I haven't forgotten it. Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of cake you like, so I ordered a chocolate one."
Lu Xiangnan still stared at the cake without making a sound.
"19 years old, one step closer to being a 'man'."
Seeing his dull expression, Jiang Zhu freed up one hand to grab his arm, and pulled him to the dining table, where the cake was placed in the center, "Come on, let our birthday star blow out the candles. Ah, yes, this hat has to be worn too superior."
Jiang Zhu folded the golden paper hat, and put a card on Lu Xiangnan's head, "Well, it's so beautiful. Come, make a wish first, and then blow out the candles."
Lu Xiangnan's expression remained dull.
"Why are you standing there? Make a wish."
He slowly closed his eyes facing the cake.
Jiang Zhu didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt very happy and hoped that he would be happy.
"call--"
The candle on "19" was blown out, and Jiang Zhu immediately got up and turned on the light in the living room, saying, "Wait for me first."
Two minutes later, he came out of the bedroom with a red box, went back and sat down next to Lu Xiangnan, "Here, a birthday present."
Lu Xiangnan glanced at the box, then at Jiang Zhu, took the box slowly, and opened the lid.
——It was the basketball he wanted in the brand store in Nanou City.
"Do you like it? Ah... This, actually, was when I went to Southern Europe that day. I saw you watching it for a long time. I thought you must like it..."
"elder brother."
"Ok?"
"No one ever gave me a birthday."
He doesn't even remember that today is his birthday.
And no one will ever remember.
When we first met, he just mentioned something casually, and Jiang Zhu remembered it all the time, and even customized a cake for him, and prepared something he had always wanted as a birthday present.
Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's also the first time for me to celebrate someone else's birthday, and I don't know if I did it right..."
All the words behind were blocked in his throat.
Because Lu Xiangnan's face was suddenly very close to him, those big eyes looked straight at him, as if covered with a layer of water vapor.
Jiang Zhu instinctively leaned back, but unexpectedly Lu Xiangnan continued to lean forward, his eyes flicked between his eyes and lips.
"you……"
Already...it can't be any closer, Jiang Zhu grabbed the handle of the chair, subconsciously closed his eyes——
"Boom boom boom——"
The knock on the door woke Jiang Zhu up instantly. He stood up from his chair in a jerk, not knowing where to put his hands, "Well, I, I'll open the door."
He hurried to the door and opened it in a panic.
Holding a big box, Liang Xiaonian poked his head out from the side of the box, "Ha! Brother Jiang! I'm coming! Is Father Lu here?"
Liang Xiaonian was called by Jiang Zhu, he just wanted to celebrate Lu Xiangnan's birthday with one more person, so that he would not be so deserted.
"Come, come, inside, just blowing out the candles."
"Huh? Have you finished blowing out the candles? I'm late." Liang Xiaonian looked at Jiang Zhu and said, "Hey, Brother Jiang, why are you so red?"
"Huh? Very, very obvious?"
"obvious!"
"Maybe... the air conditioner in the room is blowing."
"Oh." Liang Xiaonian turned sideways, came in with a big box in his arms, and walked up to Lu Xiangnan in small steps, "Aha! Happy 19th birthday, Daddy Lu! I bought you a big, big gift! Unpack it and see look!"
The interrupted Lu Xiangnan looked unhappy, "What?"
"Hahaha! I bought you a big! Pi! Ka! Qiu!" Liang Xiaonian excitedly opened the box and pulled out the oversized Pikachu doll.
Lu Xiangnan: "Birthday gift?"
"Yup!"
"Childish." Lu Xiangnan shook his head speechlessly, "Thanks."
"I'm not naive! Look how much this Pikachu looks like you!"
"Fuck off."
Jiang Zhu pulled a stool for Liang Xiaonian, and the three of them sat in a circle. Jiang Zhu was about to cut the cake, but Liang Xiaonian stopped him, "Hey, wait, wait, brother Jiang, don't cut it first, let's take a picture first." Photo, I brought a Polaroid specially today!"
Liang Xiaonian took out the camera from his schoolbag and held it high, posing with scissors hands, "One, two, three! Happy birthday, Daddy Lu!"
At night, Lu Xiangnan was lying on the bed with one arm under his head and holding two photos in the other hand.
An old photo, a new photo.
The three people in the photo are still the same.
**
Jiang Zhu was a little confused by Lu Xiangnan's behavior that night, and he didn't sleep well all night.
He brought his face closer, so close... Could it be that he wanted to... kiss?
As soon as this idea popped up, Jiang Zhu began to shake his head desperately.
Don't think about these things!work work!
At this moment, his cell phone vibrated twice.
[Han Han: I wish you brother, save the world!Can I borrow your luxury car]
[Z: My car?What are you doing? 】
[Han Han: Please, please, I'm going to meet my online boyfriend soon, your car is so magnificent, just pick me up, I'll take him for a drive! 】
[Z: ... the purple tone is not enough for you?Why did you go online dating again?Where's your brother Tiancai? 】
[Hanhan: Ah, I haven't seen him in Zitiao for a long time, I feel like I'm useless.Later, I matched a 1 with super good conditions on the blue software, and I wanted to work harder to take him down!Just lend me a little! ! 】
[Z: That's fine, you go downstairs to the company and wait, I will ask Xiao Liu to give you the car keys.But I have to send it back to me before I get off work at night. I'm too tired today and don't want to walk back. 】
[Hanhan: Alright!Do not worry! 】
In fact, Mo Zihan didn't keep his promise, probably because he was having fun with someone, he had already left the matter of returning the car on the cloud, and he didn't answer the phone no matter how many times.
Jiang Zhu sighed into the phone.
Forget it.
Let him play.
Who made such a friend who has been with him for so many years?
So after work, he planned to walk home.
A few days ago when I went downstairs, I accidentally twisted my foot, and it still hurts when I walk. He couldn't walk after taking two steps, so he stopped to take a taxi.
At this time, a silver car stopped in front of him, and the front window slowly lowered, revealing that familiar face, "Xiao Zhu, get in the car, I'll take you home."
It seemed that Ji Wen had just left work.
No need to guess, it must be that Mo Zihan didn't come back in the car, so he asked Ji Wen to pick him up.Maybe Ji Wen secretly expressed some determination to Mo Zihan, and Mo Zihan still wants him to reconcile with him.
Jiang Zhu ignored them and walked along the road, continuing to look for a car.
Ji Wen's car followed him all the way.
"Xiao Zhu, I beg you, give me another chance. You still like me, don't you?"
Jiang Zhu still ignored him.
In his heart, he and Ji Wen were over long ago.
The moment I saw that scene in the bar, everything was over.
From now on, when he saw Ji Wen's face again, he would only feel nauseated.
Even if he really wanted to save him now, Jiang Zhu would never look back.
That's what he is, a clean freak about love.
After such a long time, no matter how hard I chased him, there was no response, and Ji Wen was also distressed, "Xiao Zhu, let's do well..."
"elder brother."
Jiang Zhu and Ji Wen turned their heads at the same time.
Lu Xiangnan sat on his bicycle, parked behind Ji Wen's car, the headlights shone on his face, his outline was clear and clear, his facial features were three-dimensional and delicate, and his eyes twinkled like stars.
"Nannan?"
"I'll take you home, brother."
Jiang Zhu froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at the back seat of his bicycle.
Without saying a word, Lu Xiangnan pedaled a few more times and rode up to Jiang Zhu, "Come up."
In this case... firstly, you don't need to take a taxi, and secondly, you can get rid of Ji Wen's entanglement, which is indeed a good choice.
So Jiang Zhu let out a "hmm" and sat sideways in the back seat.
Originally, he wanted to straddle, but his legs were too long, and his posture was too uncomfortable.
The successful road turned his face to the south side, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Hold me tight, brother."
Ji Wen clenched the steering wheel, "The road is going south, you..."
Why is this kid always able to make trouble at critical moments? ?Is there any reason?Why is chasing someone so difficult!
Jiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then gently grabbed the school uniform on his side.
It's not that he doesn't want to hug her tightly, but that he's really...a little shy.
Ji Wen finally saw something was wrong from Jiang Zhu's expression.
This expression doesn't look like the expression towards his younger brother.
Could it be that he is really interested in Lu Xiangnan?
No, it shouldn't.
What he likes is obviously Ji Wen's type, how could he like a young man with a hairy head?
Did he just lose to his students?
But no matter what, one thing is certain now, the possibility of chasing Jiang Zhu again is very slim.
This was Jiang Zhu's first time riding someone else's bicycle.
No, to be precise, he has never even ridden himself.
He thought it was miraculous to meet Lu Xiangnan.
Because the road goes south, he had many firsts that he hadn't tried.
Lu Xiangnan pedaled faster and faster, and Jiang Zhu found that it seemed impossible to just hold on to the school uniform, so he had to raise an arm to gently circle him.
The tightness of his muscles can be felt through the thick school uniform.
Immediately after Lu Xiangnan accelerated, Jiang Zhu almost lost his balance and fell back. Finally, he hugged Lu Xiangnan's waist tightly from behind, and slammed his face into his back.
Lu Xiangnan looked down at the clenched hands on his waist, unable to conceal his happiness.
"Wait, wait a minute." Jiang Zhu shouted, "Nannan, pull over and stop the car."
Lu Xiangnan did the same.
It turned out that the two of them were at the gate of the pet hospital last time.
"I just remembered that they called me this morning. I have to go in and take Beibei home."
"Is that ugly thing healed?"
"It's cured. I heard that I gave it a bath. It's just right, come and see it with me?"
"For the sake of the master, let's try to pick it up." Lu Xiangnan said.
The two walked into the pet hospital one after the other.
"Look sir, it's quite fat after taking a bath, haha."
To be honest, Jiang Zhu almost didn't recognize him.
The Beibei in the cardboard box is completely different from the day I picked it up in the rain.
Now the cat's fur is white, bright and fluffy, its two eyeballs glow green, like glass balls, and its ears are folded.
It seemed to recognize the benefactor who saved it that day, jumped out of the cardboard box, and fell into Jiang Zhu's arms.
Jiang Zhu caught him steadily, with surprise and surprise.
Seeing this, the young lady was overjoyed, "It seems that Mao Mao recognizes you as the master very much, it's really great."
Lu Xiangnan stood aside, looking at it with disgust, "The more you look at it, the uglier it gets."
Young lady: ...?
Young lady: "No way, we've already cleaned up the cat. It's very cute, just as cute as Mr. Jiang."
Well, it's true that Mr. Jiang is cute.
Lu Xiangnan's disgusted eyes finally showed some love.
Before leaving, the young lady specifically told Jiang Zhu to feed him cat food as soon as he got home.Including when to take a bath, how to pay attention to the wound, and when to get an injection, Jiang Zhu wrote down all of them.
After returning to Xinrui, Jiang Zhu teased the cat all the way, and he was still playing with the cat when he reached the stairs.
Probably felt that suddenly with such an interesting little guy, the surrounding air became more interesting.
He saw the cat meowing so much that he thought it was starving, so he planned to feed it in the corridor.
In order for Lu Xiangnan to live in peace with it, Jiang Zhu wants to complete the task of feeding it with him.
The two squatted down in front of their respective doors, and the cardboard box containing the cat was placed in the space between them.
Jiang Zhu unpacked the cat food he bought, poured some on a silver plate, and handed it to the cat, "Come to Beibei, dinner is ready."
"What about Nan Nan's food?" Lu Xiangnan frowned and asked, "Brother, don't be partial."
Jiang Zhu ignored Lu Xiangnan's complaints, and just squatted in place, watching Beibei finish the cat food bit by bit.
When he raised his head again, someone slapped his neck suddenly.
Jiang Zhu couldn't help trembling, and the empty plate in his hand fell to the ground.
"Do...what?"
Lu Xiangnan licked his lips in satisfaction, and pointed to Beibei's little head, "My dinner is richer than his."
In the dream, he came back again, to the familiar amusement park, and saw the cute little boy again.
He seems to have grown taller and better looking.
But Jiang Zhu couldn't see his face clearly.
**
On this day, Jiang Zhu went to work normally to deal with work. With hot tea in one hand and a stack of documents in the other, Xiao Liu knocked on the door of Jiang Zhu's office excitedly.
"What's the matter, Xiao Liu, in such a hurry? Come in."
Xiao Liu was full of joy, and handed him the document, "Mr. Jiang, our company has a big project, please take a look."
"Really?" Jiang Zhu took the document and looked at it. On the first page, in the column of the person in charge of cooperation, the name of Lu Mingheng, the chairman of the Lu Group, was written.
Lu's Group is considered the top group in E City. Countless small companies can't get a chance to cooperate with them. Now they have offered to cooperate with Chuangshi. Jiang Zhu is naturally happy in his heart, "I see, I will read the contents of the document carefully. , and give feedback to Chairman Lu as soon as possible."
Xiao Liu: "Our creation of the world has really come a long way, thanks to Mr. Jiang!"
"Hey, the company is jointly operated by so many people from top to bottom. The company is good because everyone is doing well, not me alone. That's all right, Xiao Liu, go do what you do, and you should meet with the chairman some other day Let’s have a face-to-face meeting and make an appointment at that time.”
It has always been Jiang Zhu's dream to cooperate with Lu's, but he didn't expect his dream to come to him so soon, which is really a surprise.
He was about to tell Mo Zihan the good news on WeChat, when Liang Xiaonian's phone call came in hastily.
What's going on at this time?
"Hello, Changchang."
"Brother Jiang!"
"elder brother."
There were two voices on the other end of the phone, and Jiang Zhu immediately recognized that it was him and Lu Xiangnan.
"Brother Jiang, help me! Let me tell you, we are too reckless! My bicycle was stolen, and the wheel of Lu Daddy's bicycle was punctured! What a bitch! I am so mad, we have a midterm exam today, and we just took the exam this morning After finishing the Chinese, I can't go back now, woo woo woo!"
Lu Xiangnan typed a patch: "It's really broken this time."
Jiang Zhu understood that he was going to pick up the two babies now.
Exams should not be delayed.
"It's a good thing I live in the same building as you, otherwise what should I do?"
"Oh, my good brother Jiang, the most handsome brother Jiang in the world, please! Please feel sorry for us both! The child still wants to go back and take a nap!"
"Understood, I will help you deliver your school exams before going to work in the afternoon."
"Thank you Brother Jiang!! I love you! Bobobobo!"
"Hang up for me." Lu Xiangnan coldly helped him press the end button.
Jiang Zhu turned off the phone, smiled and shook his head, "These two children."
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhu was afraid that he would sleep in and delay the two exams, so he didn't even take a nap, so he drove the car from the underground parking lot to the door after eating.
The two made an appointment to meet Jiang Zhu at the door at a certain time.
"Brother Jiang! My savior! Here I come!" He and Lu Xiangnan habitually sat in the back seat and the co-pilot, and Lu Xiangnan consciously fastened his seat belt.
Jiang Zhu asked while driving: "How is it? Is the Chinese test easy? I remember that the Chinese test papers for the third-term high school entrance examination in Chenghai used to be difficult."
"Damn it, Brother Jiang, you remember it too clearly, really! I read it three times for reading comprehension and still haven't understood it."
"Don't just read it, but go to the article with questions to find key information."
"Ahhhhh, the senior of the university Bajiang! Quickly pass on your experience!"
"Here, we're here." Jiang Zhu found an open space and stopped the car.
"Ah, why did we arrive so soon, woo woo woo woo!" Liang Xiaonian got out of the car reluctantly, went around and knocked on Jiang Zhu's car window.
"what happened?"
"Jiang Ge University Ba University God, can you give me your hand, I want to be part of your happiness!"
Jiang Zhule said, "Why don't you hold No.1 in your class?"
"Can their group of chickens be compared to Brother Jiang? Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going in, just touch it, please."
Jiang Zhu gestured to stretch out his hand.
The side road frowned to the south.
Want to hold or touch?
He immediately pressed the button to raise Jiang Zhu's car window back up, "Hurry up and get out."
"Hey, ah? I haven't touched it yet, fuck!! Lu Xiangnan, you fucking..." Liang Xiaonian stomped his feet on the spot twice, and entered the school gate helplessly, his back full of resentment.
Jiang Zhu turned around, rubbed Lu Xiangnan's hair, and joked, "Why, is the puppy jealous?"
"Yes, jealous. You are not allowed to rub his hair, and you are not allowed to touch his hands, not even for a moment." Lu Xiangnan gently raised his four fingers, "You are my brother alone."
Jiang Zhu was a little startled by his rising tone, "Nannan, you... what's wrong with you?"
What's wrong with the mood?
Lu Xiangnan knew that Jiang Zhu was joking when he said that he was jealous, and he also realized that his emotions seemed to be extreme, so he calmed down a little, "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm sorry brother."
"Really okay?"
"Really." Lu Xiangnan unbuckled his seat belt and put his schoolbag on his back, "I'm leaving."
"Well, come on for the exam, don't be too nervous."
Lu Xiangnan didn't speak any more.
When Jiang Zhu's car gradually went away, he stood quietly in front of the gate alone, and took out the group photo from his school uniform pocket.

The three-day midterm exam came to an end quickly, and on the night of the end, Chenghai canceled the evening self-study and let the students go back to rest.
This time, Lu Xiangnan didn't call Jiang Zhu. He dragged his broken bicycle to the repair shop near the school for repair.
"Handsome guy, you'll have to wait for a while, maybe a little long. If you can't wait, you can ask your parents to pick it up, and you can pick it up tomorrow."
"No, I'll wait here."
Lu Xiangnan sat on the stone pier next to him and looked at his phone.
Let's talk to Jiang Zhu, otherwise he is worried about what to do.
[N.: Brother, I’m here to repair my bicycle, so you don’t need to pick me up, I’ll ride back after repairing it. 】
【Brother: You really don’t want me to pick it up?Are you outside or inside?It's cold outside, go inside and wait. 】
[N.: It's okay, I'm fine. 】
【Brother: Ah, right, you finished the exam, right?Remember to knock on my door when you come back later. 】
[N.: What's wrong?Is brother in trouble? 】
【Brother: Ah, it’s okay, you’ll know when you come back. 】
Lu Xiangnan held his mobile phone and wondered.

Why did Jiang Zhu take the initiative to find him?

"Ah, about four or ten minutes, can you wait?"
Four 10 minutes.
How should he get through this difficult 10 minutes.
...there is a high probability that I won't be able to survive.
"I'm sorry uncle, I'll come back tomorrow to pick up the bike." Before the uncle could respond, he started running home with his bag on his back.
My legs hurt from running.
But he really couldn't wait.
What did Jiang Zhu want him for?
Lu Xiangnan finally ran downstairs, panting and calling Jiang Zhu while going upstairs, "Hey, brother, are you home?"
"I'm here, you're here so soon? Aren't you a bicycle repairer?"
"I came running."
"What? Why are you running? You've healed and your scars forgot to hurt? Your legs..."
"Don't talk about brother, I'm at your door, open the door for me."
"The door is open, come in directly."
The door is open?
Lu Xiangnan slowly put down his phone, and gently pushed the half-open door——
There was only darkness in the room.

The source of light is the candles on the cake.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." After singing the last crappy birthday song, Jiang Zhu just came to Lu Xiangnan with a cake.
"Happy birthday, my puppy."
Lu Xiangnan stared at his face for several seconds, then looked down at the cake in his hand.
Two layers of white cream are poured on the cake. The shapes of the two candles are the numbers "1" and "9". In the middle of "1" and "9" is a puppy squeezed out of chocolate sauce. There is a basketball and two "Nan" characters.
He lowered his head and never raised it again.
"Today is November 11, I haven't forgotten it. Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of cake you like, so I ordered a chocolate one."
Lu Xiangnan still stared at the cake without making a sound.
"19 years old, one step closer to being a 'man'."
Seeing his dull expression, Jiang Zhu freed up one hand to grab his arm, and pulled him to the dining table, where the cake was placed in the center, "Come on, let our birthday star blow out the candles. Ah, yes, this hat has to be worn too superior."
Jiang Zhu folded the golden paper hat, and put a card on Lu Xiangnan's head, "Well, it's so beautiful. Come, make a wish first, and then blow out the candles."
Lu Xiangnan's expression remained dull.
"Why are you standing there? Make a wish."
He slowly closed his eyes facing the cake.
Jiang Zhu didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt very happy and hoped that he would be happy.
"call--"
The candle on "19" was blown out, and Jiang Zhu immediately got up and turned on the light in the living room, saying, "Wait for me first."
Two minutes later, he came out of the bedroom with a red box, went back and sat down next to Lu Xiangnan, "Here, a birthday present."
Lu Xiangnan glanced at the box, then at Jiang Zhu, took the box slowly, and opened the lid.
——It was the basketball he wanted in the brand store in Nanou City.
"Do you like it? Ah... This, actually, was when I went to Southern Europe that day. I saw you watching it for a long time. I thought you must like it..."
"elder brother."
"Ok?"
"No one ever gave me a birthday."
He doesn't even remember that today is his birthday.
And no one will ever remember.
When we first met, he just mentioned something casually, and Jiang Zhu remembered it all the time, and even customized a cake for him, and prepared something he had always wanted as a birthday present.
Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It's also the first time for me to celebrate someone else's birthday, and I don't know if I did it right..."
All the words behind were blocked in his throat.
Because Lu Xiangnan's face was suddenly very close to him, those big eyes looked straight at him, as if covered with a layer of water vapor.
Jiang Zhu instinctively leaned back, but unexpectedly Lu Xiangnan continued to lean forward, his eyes flicked between his eyes and lips.
"you……"
Already...it can't be any closer, Jiang Zhu grabbed the handle of the chair, subconsciously closed his eyes——
"Boom boom boom——"
The knock on the door woke Jiang Zhu up instantly. He stood up from his chair in a jerk, not knowing where to put his hands, "Well, I, I'll open the door."
He hurried to the door and opened it in a panic.
Holding a big box, Liang Xiaonian poked his head out from the side of the box, "Ha! Brother Jiang! I'm coming! Is Father Lu here?"
Liang Xiaonian was called by Jiang Zhu, he just wanted to celebrate Lu Xiangnan's birthday with one more person, so that he would not be so deserted.
"Come, come, inside, just blowing out the candles."
"Huh? Have you finished blowing out the candles? I'm late." Liang Xiaonian looked at Jiang Zhu and said, "Hey, Brother Jiang, why are you so red?"
"Huh? Very, very obvious?"
"obvious!"
"Maybe... the air conditioner in the room is blowing."
"Oh." Liang Xiaonian turned sideways, came in with a big box in his arms, and walked up to Lu Xiangnan in small steps, "Aha! Happy 19th birthday, Daddy Lu! I bought you a big, big gift! Unpack it and see look!"
The interrupted Lu Xiangnan looked unhappy, "What?"
"Hahaha! I bought you a big! Pi! Ka! Qiu!" Liang Xiaonian excitedly opened the box and pulled out the oversized Pikachu doll.
Lu Xiangnan: "Birthday gift?"
"Yup!"
"Childish." Lu Xiangnan shook his head speechlessly, "Thanks."
"I'm not naive! Look how much this Pikachu looks like you!"
"Fuck off."
Jiang Zhu pulled a stool for Liang Xiaonian, and the three of them sat in a circle. Jiang Zhu was about to cut the cake, but Liang Xiaonian stopped him, "Hey, wait, wait, brother Jiang, don't cut it first, let's take a picture first." Photo, I brought a Polaroid specially today!"
Liang Xiaonian took out the camera from his schoolbag and held it high, posing with scissors hands, "One, two, three! Happy birthday, Daddy Lu!"
At night, Lu Xiangnan was lying on the bed with one arm under his head and holding two photos in the other hand.
An old photo, a new photo.
The three people in the photo are still the same.
**
Jiang Zhu was a little confused by Lu Xiangnan's behavior that night, and he didn't sleep well all night.
He brought his face closer, so close... Could it be that he wanted to... kiss?
As soon as this idea popped up, Jiang Zhu began to shake his head desperately.
Don't think about these things!work work!
At this moment, his cell phone vibrated twice.
[Han Han: I wish you brother, save the world!Can I borrow your luxury car]
[Z: My car?What are you doing? 】
[Han Han: Please, please, I'm going to meet my online boyfriend soon, your car is so magnificent, just pick me up, I'll take him for a drive! 】
[Z: ... the purple tone is not enough for you?Why did you go online dating again?Where's your brother Tiancai? 】
[Hanhan: Ah, I haven't seen him in Zitiao for a long time, I feel like I'm useless.Later, I matched a 1 with super good conditions on the blue software, and I wanted to work harder to take him down!Just lend me a little! ! 】
[Z: That's fine, you go downstairs to the company and wait, I will ask Xiao Liu to give you the car keys.But I have to send it back to me before I get off work at night. I'm too tired today and don't want to walk back. 】
[Hanhan: Alright!Do not worry! 】
In fact, Mo Zihan didn't keep his promise, probably because he was having fun with someone, he had already left the matter of returning the car on the cloud, and he didn't answer the phone no matter how many times.
Jiang Zhu sighed into the phone.
Forget it.
Let him play.
Who made such a friend who has been with him for so many years?
So after work, he planned to walk home.
A few days ago when I went downstairs, I accidentally twisted my foot, and it still hurts when I walk. He couldn't walk after taking two steps, so he stopped to take a taxi.
At this time, a silver car stopped in front of him, and the front window slowly lowered, revealing that familiar face, "Xiao Zhu, get in the car, I'll take you home."
It seemed that Ji Wen had just left work.
No need to guess, it must be that Mo Zihan didn't come back in the car, so he asked Ji Wen to pick him up.Maybe Ji Wen secretly expressed some determination to Mo Zihan, and Mo Zihan still wants him to reconcile with him.
Jiang Zhu ignored them and walked along the road, continuing to look for a car.
Ji Wen's car followed him all the way.
"Xiao Zhu, I beg you, give me another chance. You still like me, don't you?"
Jiang Zhu still ignored him.
In his heart, he and Ji Wen were over long ago.
The moment I saw that scene in the bar, everything was over.
From now on, when he saw Ji Wen's face again, he would only feel nauseated.
Even if he really wanted to save him now, Jiang Zhu would never look back.
That's what he is, a clean freak about love.
After such a long time, no matter how hard I chased him, there was no response, and Ji Wen was also distressed, "Xiao Zhu, let's do well..."
"elder brother."
Jiang Zhu and Ji Wen turned their heads at the same time.
Lu Xiangnan sat on his bicycle, parked behind Ji Wen's car, the headlights shone on his face, his outline was clear and clear, his facial features were three-dimensional and delicate, and his eyes twinkled like stars.
"Nannan?"
"I'll take you home, brother."
Jiang Zhu froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at the back seat of his bicycle.
Without saying a word, Lu Xiangnan pedaled a few more times and rode up to Jiang Zhu, "Come up."
In this case... firstly, you don't need to take a taxi, and secondly, you can get rid of Ji Wen's entanglement, which is indeed a good choice.
So Jiang Zhu let out a "hmm" and sat sideways in the back seat.
Originally, he wanted to straddle, but his legs were too long, and his posture was too uncomfortable.
The successful road turned his face to the south side, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Hold me tight, brother."
Ji Wen clenched the steering wheel, "The road is going south, you..."
Why is this kid always able to make trouble at critical moments? ?Is there any reason?Why is chasing someone so difficult!
Jiang Zhu hesitated for a moment, then gently grabbed the school uniform on his side.
It's not that he doesn't want to hug her tightly, but that he's really...a little shy.
Ji Wen finally saw something was wrong from Jiang Zhu's expression.
This expression doesn't look like the expression towards his younger brother.
Could it be that he is really interested in Lu Xiangnan?
No, it shouldn't.
What he likes is obviously Ji Wen's type, how could he like a young man with a hairy head?
Did he just lose to his students?
But no matter what, one thing is certain now, the possibility of chasing Jiang Zhu again is very slim.
This was Jiang Zhu's first time riding someone else's bicycle.
No, to be precise, he has never even ridden himself.
He thought it was miraculous to meet Lu Xiangnan.
Because the road goes south, he had many firsts that he hadn't tried.
Lu Xiangnan pedaled faster and faster, and Jiang Zhu found that it seemed impossible to just hold on to the school uniform, so he had to raise an arm to gently circle him.
The tightness of his muscles can be felt through the thick school uniform.
Immediately after Lu Xiangnan accelerated, Jiang Zhu almost lost his balance and fell back. Finally, he hugged Lu Xiangnan's waist tightly from behind, and slammed his face into his back.
Lu Xiangnan looked down at the clenched hands on his waist, unable to conceal his happiness.
"Wait, wait a minute." Jiang Zhu shouted, "Nannan, pull over and stop the car."
Lu Xiangnan did the same.
It turned out that the two of them were at the gate of the pet hospital last time.
"I just remembered that they called me this morning. I have to go in and take Beibei home."
"Is that ugly thing healed?"
"It's cured. I heard that I gave it a bath. It's just right, come and see it with me?"
"For the sake of the master, let's try to pick it up." Lu Xiangnan said.
The two walked into the pet hospital one after the other.
"Look sir, it's quite fat after taking a bath, haha."
To be honest, Jiang Zhu almost didn't recognize him.
The Beibei in the cardboard box is completely different from the day I picked it up in the rain.
Now the cat's fur is white, bright and fluffy, its two eyeballs glow green, like glass balls, and its ears are folded.
It seemed to recognize the benefactor who saved it that day, jumped out of the cardboard box, and fell into Jiang Zhu's arms.
Jiang Zhu caught him steadily, with surprise and surprise.
Seeing this, the young lady was overjoyed, "It seems that Mao Mao recognizes you as the master very much, it's really great."
Lu Xiangnan stood aside, looking at it with disgust, "The more you look at it, the uglier it gets."
Young lady: ...?
Young lady: "No way, we've already cleaned up the cat. It's very cute, just as cute as Mr. Jiang."
Well, it's true that Mr. Jiang is cute.
Lu Xiangnan's disgusted eyes finally showed some love.
Before leaving, the young lady specifically told Jiang Zhu to feed him cat food as soon as he got home.Including when to take a bath, how to pay attention to the wound, and when to get an injection, Jiang Zhu wrote down all of them.
After returning to Xinrui, Jiang Zhu teased the cat all the way, and he was still playing with the cat when he reached the stairs.
Probably felt that suddenly with such an interesting little guy, the surrounding air became more interesting.
He saw the cat meowing so much that he thought it was starving, so he planned to feed it in the corridor.
In order for Lu Xiangnan to live in peace with it, Jiang Zhu wants to complete the task of feeding it with him.
The two squatted down in front of their respective doors, and the cardboard box containing the cat was placed in the space between them.
Jiang Zhu unpacked the cat food he bought, poured some on a silver plate, and handed it to the cat, "Come to Beibei, dinner is ready."
"What about Nan Nan's food?" Lu Xiangnan frowned and asked, "Brother, don't be partial."
Jiang Zhu ignored Lu Xiangnan's complaints, and just squatted in place, watching Beibei finish the cat food bit by bit.
When he raised his head again, someone slapped his neck suddenly.
Jiang Zhu couldn't help trembling, and the empty plate in his hand fell to the ground.
"Do...what?"
Lu Xiangnan licked his lips in satisfaction, and pointed to Beibei's little head, "My dinner is richer than his."
