Late ripening

Lu Qian stared at the boy in front of him sullenly.Mrs. Yu told him that Jing Yan told her to come back for lunch, so he wanted to come to the cinema to pick him up.I waited at the door for 10 minutes, but I didn't expect a child who was bullied and looked sad and didn't know it.

"Who are you looking for?" Lu Qian asked him.No matter how arrogant and domineering Tang Hao was, he only showed off his prestige in school, and never confronted adults who were ten years older than him.Jing Yan had only seen his little uncle treat him calmly and gently, so he was a little nervous and wanted to pull Lu Qian away, but he didn't.

Tang Hao curled his lips pretending not to be afraid, "I'm looking for Lin Jingyan." After speaking, he looked at Lu Qian again, "Are you his parent? He swears at me just now, so I'll come out and talk to him." According to him According to my experience, parents usually blame their children first at this time.

Lu Qian looked back at the child with a flushed face, and said slowly, "We Jing Yan never scolds, and if we scold, we learned from me." After speaking, he stared sharply in front of him, "What about you? Did other people learn from their own family when they poured Coke?"

The arrogant boy didn't expect Lu Qian to say that, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but want to get angry when he heard what he said.But Lu Qian didn't give him this chance, took a few steps towards him, and looked down at him.Jing Yan couldn't see his face behind him, he resisted the urge to grab the boy's collar, and kept telling himself not to do anything to minors.

Tang Hao was frightened by the powerful oppressive force and anger that really belonged to a man exuding from him, and he stumbled back twice.

"I don't have the time to teach you how to behave for your family today." Lu Qian looked at him coldly with one hand in his pocket, "You are the one who plays basketball, right? If you don't know where to shoot, you don't have to play in the future."

Tang Hao moved his lips twice, trying to say something, but in the end he still didn't dare to say it, he glared at Jing Yan and wanted to leave.Now it was Lu Qian's turn to stop him, "Will you open your mouth or apologize?" The classmates who watched the movie together came out of the door one after another, looking in their direction.Tang Hao didn't dare to look at Lu Qian, he hurriedly said "I'm sorry" and ran away.

Lu Qian grabbed Jing Yan's hand, "Go home."

On the way home, Jing Yan was uneasy, he thought his little uncle would criticize him.How can there be someone like Tang Hao who can turn right and wrong, he couldn't help thinking.

After taking a shower, he sat on a chair refreshingly and drank the soup stewed by Mrs. Yu.Lu Qian picked up two peeled shrimps for him, "The one in the morning is the classmate who hit you with a basketball before?" Jing Yan put down the soup bowl and said "En", telling himself to describe the matter as objectively as possible.

He didn't want Lu Qian to feel that he was suing or crying to him. He always remembered what his little uncle often said - I hope you can get in touch with your peers more.Jing Yan felt that this might be a part of his life that he had to face, he had to bite the bullet and deal with people who were not friendly or even malicious.

After listening to him, Lu Qian didn't interrupt him, nor asked him to put down his chopsticks to listen to himself.It's like talking about a very common thing, "Let me know if something like this happens in the future. If you have a little thought that you don't want to face, let me deal with it."

He touched Jing Yan's head, "Uncle knows that you are a very good boy. But there is no reason for some people's malice. It's not because you did anything wrong. You don't need to become stronger for such a person," his Passing Jing Yan's eyes, "Remember? I said I didn't want you to give up on yourself to accommodate other people. It's the same with this matter. Just be who you are most comfortable with. I don't want to do anything you don't want to do." I can solve it for you."

Jing Yan sneezed, Lu Qian was worried that he had caught a cold, and his hair was still wet.He went into the bathroom and took out a towel, stood behind Jing Yan and wiped his hair.

Through the fabric, the little uncle's voice was muffled, "I didn't expect that Jing Yan would curse people," Lu Qian's voice was a little teasing.We Jing Yan, he said this again, Jing Yan felt that something was passed from the heart to the limbs, and then returned to the stomach, making his whole body warm up.

Lu Qian held him in his arms and wiped his hair, bent down, and lightly touched the top of his head with his chin, "Before I told you to get in touch with other people, I was talking too much about myself. You are fine now , really, not everyone fits the same lifestyle.”

Jing Yan couldn't see his little uncle's face, he really wanted to take a look at him.In his heart, Lu Qian was like a fulcrum he could rely on, he turned an angle, and leaned his body gently in his arms without any trace.

After that, no one bothered him anymore.When the winter vacation was about to start, the homeroom teacher called Jing Yan to the office, asked him about his situation, and told him that if there was any conflict between classmates, he could go to the teacher.He didn't know if it was his little uncle who called the school. As soon as he left the office, he saw several boys standing in front of the dean. Tang Hao rolled his eyes at him.

Jing Yan walked over without seeing anything, and he could vaguely hear someone muttering behind him, saying that he only knew to sue his parents or something.He doesn't care about these anymore, it doesn't matter, there is no need to take the unimportant words of unimportant people to heart.

Talking to his little uncle made him feel better, and he returned to the state of clinging to him at the beginning.But then he was like a drowning man clinging to driftwood, now he is a limp vine clinging to a thick wall.

He studies seriously every day and lives a full life.There is pressure, but these pressures are the driving force for him to grow up faster, not the kind of shackles that seal people tightly in a space and cannot breathe.

Jing Yan celebrated his 17th birthday here, and Lu Qian was by his side.Fang Fei sent a big cake with many fruits on it.When the little uncle lit the candle for him, he remembered his wish from last year.

The surrounding lights were turned off, only the flickering candles were in front of his eyes.He closed his eyes and changed his wish just before blowing out the candle.

I hope that every year in the future I will be by this person's side.

The second year of high school passed in the blink of an eye, and Jing Yan took two weeks off for the whole summer vacation.Weekends are of little significance to senior high school students. They have long been used to enjoying free time for only one day or even half a day a week.

He seems to have a bit of a cold today, maybe the temperature of the air conditioner is too low, and he has been sneezing softly.After school at five o'clock, Jing Yan was wiping his red nose while doing his homework. Yao Yihang was reading a book next to him, laughing softly from time to time.

Jing Yan glanced at him, and asked him in a strong nasal voice, "What are you looking at?" Yao Yihang looked around the classroom where only two girls sitting far away were chatting, and pushed the book from under the table to Jing Yan's eyes.

Jing Yan looked at the manga in front of him, not knowing what expression to put on, so he glanced at it and returned it to him. "It's going to be the same next week, why are you still watching this?" He has no interest in these, and occasionally sees physical and psychological reactions.

"How can I read this at different times?" Yao Yihang threw the book back into his schoolbag, remembering that Shu Yue and the others taught him not to spoil Jing Yan when they found this book, and quickly added, "But I just read it boringly, Means nothing."

Jing Yan sneezed a few more times, feeling dizzy, and couldn't read clearly. "Aren't you going to eat yet?" Yao Yihang asked him.He shook his head, "I don't have any appetite... maybe I have a cold," he looked down at his watch, "Please ask for leave for my late study, I'm going home to rest."

Jing Yan huddled under the quilt and fell into a drowsy sleep. Before going to bed, he drank cold medicine and ginger soup.When I woke up hungry at [-] o'clock in the evening, I really felt better.After drinking a bowl of porridge, I still couldn't let go of what I was going to review today, so I struggled to go back to my room to read.

Lu Qian developed the habit of seeing Jing Yan first when entering the house.Pushing open the door, Jing Yan sat on the bed with a bent body, the book was spread out on the bed.He bent his legs, put his head on his knees, and ran his hands across the writing line by line.Maybe he was too serious to notice the sound of him walking in.

He sat behind Jing Yan, Jing Yan immediately felt the breath of the little uncle, Lu Qian gently pulled him, and he fell into his arms.The child smiled at himself showing his white teeth, and immediately covered his mouth and nose to avoid infecting him.

Lu Qian looked down at him and pulled his hand down. "It's okay, don't bore yourself. I'll drink some ginger soup with you later." Jing Yan looked at him with bright eyes, and Lu Qian felt a little palpitated for some reason, "Don't look at me, read a book."

Jing Yan didn't get up from him, but changed to a side-lying position and nestled in his arms to recite words.Lu Qian felt that the children were becoming less and less afraid of him, but he indulged in not getting up.

Lu Qian followed Jing Yan's hair one by one, a dark brown could be seen under the light.If Jing Yan were a cat, he would squint his eyes and start purring right now.The atmosphere was good at the moment, but he wanted to say something else.

He sat up and turned to face Lu Qian, "I think I worked really hard, but... I probably won't be able to get into G University..." After he finished speaking, he felt very calm in his heart.

Maybe it's because he has been with Lu Qian for more than two years, or maybe he was finally raised by his little uncle to be a complete and calm boy.He knew that he had tried his best, and it was a pity that he couldn't get into the same school as his uncle, but it didn't make him feel particularly sad.

He knew what his little uncle would say, it didn't matter, as long as he tried his best.

As long as he is himself, it doesn't matter what the outcome is.

During the two days of the college entrance examination, Lu Qian asked for leave, waiting for his child like other parents.He was afraid of putting too much pressure on Jing Yan, so he didn't go to the school gate.But he felt that these two days were really important to him, so he had to go and see it himself to be at ease.

He was standing under the shade of a tree not far from the school. Perhaps the electronic signals were blocked, and the surrounding was very quiet.Lu Qian looked up at the sunshine in June through the gaps in the leaves. Every bit of the past three years was like light, flowing through every crack in his life.

In the past, he was like a tree with no branches and leaves, but because of Jing Yan and the life attached to him like vines, he had to grow more branches and leaves to protect him from the wind and rain.

In the past, he only felt that this was a responsibility he had to bear in order to repay the teacher, but gradually he realized the joy.A life with branches is more colorful.

The bell rang for the end of the final exam. Lu Qian was waiting for him at the school gate. Parents left with students with different faces.

Jing Yan threw himself on his chest, and let out a relaxed and warm smile.
