a row of egrets

395.

From the birthday until the New Year's Eve, Lu Yu and Li Jing did not contact each other again.

It was Lu Zhan who told Li Jing about Lu Yu's going abroad.

Lu Zhan said while burying his head in eating potato chips: "I don't know the details. My brother didn't tell me. He only said that he went abroad to help his father with business. He left in a hurry. He has been abroad for half a month. Just sent me a WeChat to explain."

Li Jing drank his drink and didn't speak.

As I said earlier, he is not the clingy and crooked character, he hides many emotions by himself, awkward and stubborn.After Lu Yu was with him, he completely tolerated his character. The two of them had never quarreled, so Li Jing never knew how to resolve conflicts in love. At this moment, they clearly had no conflicts, but Li Jing Still don't know how to take the initiative to ask Lu Yu.

After all, Lu Yu never came to explain to him, not a single word.

It's not that Li Jing didn't want to know what happened, he was just a little annoyed why Lu Yu didn't contact him, and he would never say such emotions.It was a sign of anger, and Li Jing really felt baffled, so he cut off contact after he was fine, he really felt aggrieved.

396.

On the New Year's Eve, Li Jing went to his parents' house and had a dinner that was not harmonious, because his parents kept persuading him that the college entrance examination was coming soon and he could prepare to go abroad.

Li Jing finished his meal in silence, shook his chopsticks and went out.

Fireworks are not allowed in the city. Li Jing was walking on the street, looking at the crowds passing by and the bright lights of Wanjia in the tall buildings, he really realized that he really missed Lu Yu very much.

He took out his mobile phone, and there were all kinds of blessings in WeChat, and the cheers from the central square came to his ears, as if it was counting down to the new year.

For a moment, Li Jing thought, what's the point of holding on, and what's the benefit of being so vague, why can't he take the initiative to ask?

The phone rang.

Li Jing looked at the unfamiliar number and picked it up.

397.

"it's me."

Lu Yu's voice was faint and sounded far away, perhaps because he hadn't heard his voice for a long time, Li Jing felt that his tone seemed a little erratic.

"I know." Li Jing stood on the side of the street, looking up at the electronic screen on the opposite square.

"It should be past twelve o'clock, right?" Lu Yu paused, "Happy New Year."

"You too." Li Jing was silent for a while, "Are you coming back?"

Lu Yu smiled lightly: "Want me to come back?"

If it had been done before, Li Jing would have uttered a slap in the face when he heard this, "I've given you shame? If you don't return your love, it's none of my business!"

But at this moment, Li Jing felt that there was no point in being stubborn, and he said, "I think about it."

"Okay." Lu Yu's voice softened, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

"Yeah." Li Jing breathed out, "I just had dinner with my parents, and they urged me to go abroad."

Li Jing tightly held the phone, as if he had made up his mind: "If, if you are in trouble, then I will go abroad."

As long as you know Li Jing well, you will know how much courage he took to say this, and how much he gave up by gritting his teeth.

Of course Lu Yu understood, he laughed: "I've been with you for so long, this is the best confession I've ever heard from you."

"I know, you like to hold back everything. Although you talk a lot, they are not nutritious. What you really want to say, you never say." He coughed with a smile, "Really, Li Jing, I Sometimes I really want to know what's on your mind."

"Now I understand." Lu Yu's smiling voice was extremely gentle, "You don't have to go abroad for me, I'll be right back, and we agreed to go to the police academy together, so don't go back on your word."

Li Jing relaxed and laughed, "Then come back quickly, Lu Zhan tells me about you every day, and says he misses you very much."

"He wants me to help him with his winter homework." Lu Yu smiled, "Then do you want me?"

"The stars are very bright today." Li Jing looked up at the distant night sky, "I miss you very much."

"I miss you too."

397.

Lu Yu hung up the phone and handed the phone to the person beside him.

"Thank you, Dr. Huang."

Huang Jia took the phone and put it in his pocket, turned on the ventilator again for Lu Yu, and put on the mask.

"Madam said that you should take good care of your illness and that you are not allowed to contact the outside world."

"I know." Lu Yu smiled, his smile was pale and weak under the mask, "If I don't make this call, I won't be able to recuperate properly."

Huang Jia was silent for a while: "The last time you asked me to send a WeChat message to Lu Zhan for you, was it also for him?"

"Yeah..." Lu Yu blinked gently, "I've been in a daze for half a month, and I can't ask you to send a WeChat message to someone she has never heard of in front of my mother. I can only let you I told Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan is my cousin, and my mother won't stop me if I send him a message."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he took a breath with difficulty.

"You can't get into the police academy." Huang Jia still couldn't help reminding him, "Now you can't even live a normal life."

Venous sinus type atrial septal defect, a congenital heart disease, Lu Yu was detected when he was born, but his physical condition was not good at that time, the doctor suggested not to operate.Later, he grew up slowly, and during regular checkups, he did not find any enlargement of the pore defect in the heart. Lu Yu then grew up like an ordinary child, and even learned sports such as taekwondo and swimming.

He thought he could escape, especially after being with Li Jing, Lu Yu's hope became stronger.

But more than half a month ago, on the third day after Li Jing's birthday, Lu Yu suddenly fainted at home. Fortunately, the nanny found out in time and notified his parents. Arrived in the United States for examination and treatment.

Huang Jia is the personal doctor accompanying him. He has been working part-time at Lu's family since he was a student, and it has been five years now.This young doctor of cardiology has always had a good relationship with Lu Yu, and he is willing to make an exception for him occasionally.

"I know, I know very well." Lu Yu looked at the quilt calmly, "But Li Jing must pass the exam. His former circle was so dangerous, I managed to bring him back."

Lu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, so he slowed down his speech: "I thought I could at least survive the college entrance examination, but I didn't expect to faint so suddenly that day, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye to him."

Huang Jia put his hands in his pockets: "Then you should receive treatment, otherwise you don't know when you can go back to see him."

"I will."

Lu Yu raised his eyes, "I heard that person has returned to China?"

"Yes." Huang Jia paused, "Your father gave him the branch office, so why not go back?"

Lu Yu smiled: "The branch company is still surnamed Lu, it's not a subsidiary company."

He leaned lightly on the pillow: "It would be fine if he stayed abroad honestly, but he is too greedy. Didn't you hear what my mother said, the hand is too long and it is easy to be cut off."

Huang Jia smiled and said nothing.

399.

Lu Yu's father had a mistress, and the mistress had a son.

Lu Yu's father and mother were in a commercial marriage. After marriage, Lu Yu's mother was pregnant, but his father had already had a son outside.Why didn't Lu Yu's mother know that she just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. After giving birth to Lu Yu, she had a showdown with his father, and either let Xiaosan take her son to leave, or divorced, and the cooperation between the two families broke down.

Under the balance, Lu Yu's father sent his mistress and illegitimate child out of the country, and secretly made up for it with various subsidies. Lu Yu's mother held shares in her hand, but she didn't care about such a small subsidy, so she maintained her marriage with Lu Yu's father in a seemingly incongruous manner.

How did Lu Yu know these things?

He was nine years old that year, and when he woke up from a nap, he heard noises in the guest room, and saw his father rolling on the bed naked with a woman through the crack of the door.

The sound of groans and physical impact stimulated Lu Yu's drowsiness when he first woke up. He ran to the bathroom and vomited, his eyes were blood red and tears were blurred.

When he came out of the bathroom and passed the guest room again, he heard his father's voice.

"But why did you come back suddenly? If she bumps into you, you will divorce me again."

"I've been out for so long, come back and see what's wrong?"

"Hurry up and leave later, it won't be good if Lu Yu comes back from school and sees it."

"Why do you only think about Lu Yu, don't forget that you have a son outside!"

……

If Lu Yu didn't go to school that day because he didn't feel well, he might never know about it.

Later, when Lu Yu was 15 years old, he mentioned this matter to his mother, but his mother was calm and told him everything that should be said and should not be said.She knew her son's character, so instead of hiding it, she might as well tell him everything.The illegitimate child abroad is one year older than Lu Yu, and he is almost an adult. Lu Yu may have to face the future.

And this time, Lu Yu's mother insisted on sending Lu Yu abroad for treatment, because she also knew that the illegitimate son had returned to China. If they knew that Lu Yu had a heart attack, many things would happen. She didn't want to make any mistakes, so she just said Let Lu Yu stay in the United States temporarily.

Lu Yu closed his eyes lightly, he had already expected what he would face in the future, and none of these could stir up any emotional fluctuations in him.

He just wanted to touch Li Jing's hair, hug him, and tell him face to face, I miss you so much.

400.

Lu Yu didn't come back until school started.

Lu Zhan lay on the railing and complained to Li Jing: "My brother is so busy that he doesn't have time to reply to messages. He doesn't know when he will come back, and he doesn't know if he can still take the college entrance examination."

Li Jing only felt a chill in his heart, and didn't want to say anything, just looked at the ground silently.

"You seem to have been unhappy since the winter vacation." Lu Zhan blinked his eyes and tilted his head to look at him, "What's the matter with you? Could it be that the college entrance examination is too stressful? You have such good grades, you must have no problem going to the police academy .”

Li Jing raised his head and smiled, and patted Lu Zhan's head: "I owe you a good word."
