emergency love program

"Like a faded photograph."

At the end of the topic, the squad leader described Lu Xiaoyuan in this way.

The sweetness of the red wine in his mouth faded away at some point, leaving only bursts of sourness that irritated his throat from time to time.

Rong He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for that young man who couldn't conceal his fortitude and sharpness no matter how much malice he was surrounded by, suddenly lost his color and vitality.

He lowered his head halfway, clenched his thumb between his four fingers, and was stunned for a while.

It turned out that Lu Xiaoyuan had looked for him.

Even after experiencing the death of his mother and leaving Hongyu, he still looked for him.

After participating in this long-lost classmate dinner, Rong He did not go to sing K with everyone as planned at the beginning, and then find a hotel in Hongyu for one night, and then go back the next day.

He took the flight to Lingbei directly on the grounds of catching up with the emergency announcement.

Although Lu Xiaoyuan is currently abroad with an undecided return date, but at this moment, he just wants to go to a place full of Lu Xiaoyuan's traces as soon as possible to prove that all this is not a dream.

Three hours later, Rong He arrived at the residential area.

From a distance, I saw two people standing at the door of the house, they were Lu Xiaoyuan and Qi He.

Under the darkness of night, Qi He handed his mobile phone to Lu Xiaoyuan, and said, "Brother, everything has been booked. If we leave for Hongyu City now, we will arrive at the hotel at one o'clock in the morning."

Lu Xiaoyuan quickly scanned the content on the screen. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt something. When he looked up, he saw Rong He standing in the shadow a few meters away.

A look of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he immediately put the phone containing the flight and hotel information back into Qi He's hand, putting his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened.

Qi He also found Rong He, scratched his head and whispered: "Brother, shall we still go?"

Lu Xiaoyuan lowered his voice and said, "I won't go."

After Qi He left, Lu Xiaoyuan took off his black peaked cap and put it on the small suitcase at his feet, and asked Rong He casually: "Didn't you go back to Hongyu to attend the class reunion today?"

Rong He walked towards Lu Xiaoyuan slowly, without making a sound.

It wasn't until he walked under the cold white street light that Lu Xiaoyuan finally saw his red eyes clearly.

Lu Xiaoyuan frowned immediately, stepped forward to hold his face in two steps, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Rong He grabbed Lu Xiaoyuan's sleeve, looked at him, and asked hoarsely for a while, "Did you receive that letter?"

Lu Xiaoyuan asked doubtfully, "A letter? What letter?"

"It was 11 years ago when I suddenly disappeared, and a month or two later... Did you really not receive the letter I sent you?"

Rong He hurriedly opened his mouth, but became incoherent.

To be on the safe side, he specifically asked his father to send the letter by courier, and his father told him that Lu Xiaoyuan had signed for it himself a few days later, and later, he learned that Lu Xiaoyuan missed his mother's last visit to wait for him...

So he never doubted whether the letter was not delivered to the other party, or even sent at all, and his father lied to him.

Lu Xiaoyuan's expression froze, and his speech speed suddenly became faster: "I haven't received any letters, please make it clear."

It turned out that the letter really hadn't been sent to Lu Xiaoyuan...

Rong He opened his mouth, thousands of words poured into his throat, he didn't know what to say first.

In the end, he randomly chose an entry point: "Teacher Lu, in fact, my father has passed away."

Lu Xiaoyuan nodded: "I know."

Before Rong He had time to be sad, he showed astonishment.

"That time when your cousin came to our house as a guest, he said that he helped you before, so I asked him later." Lu Xiaoyuan stroked Rong He's side face, and said apologetically, "But my investigation is limited to this. I think , when you want me to know more, you will tell me personally, if you don’t tell me, you just don’t want me to know.”

Hearing this, Rong He opened his eyes slightly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyuan already knew about it, no wonder Lu Xiaoyuan never mentioned his father in front of him, and never called him "Little Master" again.

Because Lu Xiaoyuan understood that it was a very painful scar on him.

Once, he was terribly afraid of mentioning the past in front of Lu Xiaoyuan, based on the fact that Lu Xiaoyuan complained about him, and even hated him, he felt that Lu Xiaoyuan didn't want to hear him use his tragic experience to justify himself.

But at this moment, what the squad leader said at the party resurfaced in his mind again, giving him great courage.

Rong He cleared his hoarse voice, and recounted what was written in the letter back then but was not seen by Lu Xiaoyuan, including his kidnapping, fleeing, hiding in the basement without seeing the light of day, and finally his father throwing off his debts and committing suicide... …

He tried his best to get rid of the fear, helplessness, and longing at that time, and he was so calm as if he was just telling a fact that happened in the past.

But even so, he still saw deep shock and distress in Lu Xiaoyuan's eyes, as well as some intertwined things that he couldn't understand.

Finally, that bit of forced indifference was defeated in this instant.

He suddenly felt so sad, so wronged, his chest hurt like a leak, and he was about to be speechless. In the end, he could only call out "Teacher Lu" choked with sobs.

Lu Xiaoyuan gently patted Rong He's back to comfort him, as if he were treating a treasure, but he said disapprovingly, "Don't call me 'teacher' from now on, you are my senior since you entered the industry before me."

Rong He was still immersed in emotions, unable to react, he murmured: "Then what should I call you?"

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Whatever you called me before, you can call me now."

Rong He tentatively asked, "Senior Lu?"

Lu Xiaoyuan frowned, pretending to be displeased: "Are you still a student? Can't think of anything other than teachers and classmates?"

Rong He thought of something, blinked, and suppressed the tears that were about to burst out.

"Brother Xiaoyuan..."

After finishing speaking in a low voice, he heard Lu Xiaoyuan chuckle, and then his lips were sealed.

Lu Xiaoyuan's lips were moist, and it tasted a bit bitter, which fascinated him like his favorite coffee.

It wasn't until several seconds later that he realized that it was his own tears that fell on it.

The privacy of this residential area is very good, and there will not be any idle people waiting to come and go.

The two hugged for a long time at the silent door.

Lu Xiaoyuan pressed Tie Rong He's forehead, and asked, "Apart from that letter, did you contact me in other ways afterwards?"

Rong He shook his head, and said in a barely audible voice: "I went back to Hongyu City later and asked your neighbors, only to find out that I prevented you from seeing your mother for the last time that night, so I thought, you You must be blaming me, you don’t want to see me again in this life.”

Lu Xiaoyuan fell silent after listening.

His chest visibly heaved for a moment, and after he let out a heavy sigh, he arched his index finger to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of Rong He's eyes, and said in a serious tone he had never done before: "Listen well, my mother's death was an accident, It has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end, and I didn't blame you at all, you don't have to blame yourself for this, let alone avoid me because of this."

"Hiding from me for so many years..."

The night breeze in late autumn is cool, the shadows of the trees are whirling, and the pale moon repeatedly enters and exits the clouds.

Lu Xiaoyuan's voice was still a little cold, but he continued to talk a lot uncharacteristically - those waiting, those misunderstandings, and those misses.

But there are some others that Lu Xiaoyuan can't talk about.

For example, he once secretly kissed Rong He.

Another example is the beginning of the reunion, when he learned that Rong He already had someone he liked, he felt extremely sad.

It's like he would never tell Rong He how lost he was that night when he couldn't find Rong He.

However, there is a saying that he must say after too long a delay.

Lu Xiaoyuan tightly hugged Rong He's arms, and whispered in his ear: "Rong He, I like you, I have liked you since a long time ago."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaoyuan relaxed his arms a little, lowered his head, and stared at Rong He firmly, as if he was waiting for a response, or just wanted to see him.

"What a coincidence, Brother Xiaoyuan." Rong He blinked, and smiled after crying, "I'm actually exactly like you, and it started a long, long time ago."

Under the street lamp, Lu Xiaoyuan's arms around Rong He froze, and he was rarely stunned.
