Late ripening

Fang Fei looked at the other party fixedly, Lu Qian no longer had the embarrassment and guilt when he was first discovered, but looked back at him calmly.He nodded, turned and walked out.

Jing Yan followed him a few steps and held his hand, "I'll go too." Lu Qian knew what he was worried about, and smiled at him reassuringly, "It's okay, if you go, he will only think that I am using you to convince him. This is a conflict between me and him, and I don't want to affect you."

He slightly lowered his head and touched Jing Yan's cheek, "I promise that nothing like the past will happen again, you believe me too, right?"

There were still people coming in and out all around, Jing Yan felt hot on the side where he was pressed, so he let out a muffled "En".

When the memorial service was over, Lu Qian asked the staff to stay and clean it.Fang Fei sent an address. He wanted to send Jing Yan home first, but after thinking about it for a while, he drove there.

The car was parked in the garden of that cafe, he unbuckled Jing Yan's seat belt, and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature. "I'll go and make it clear to him, and I'll be back soon."

Jing Yan sat with his head down, his heart hanging in the same place.Lu Qian asked him to look up at himself, "Whether he accepts it or not, I will come back."

They had a hot and humid kiss in the car, Jing Yan finally felt better, and watched him go in eagerly.

Fang Fei was sitting in the booth by the window, and from his perspective, he might be able to see what happened outside just now.His complexion was very bad, he didn't greet Lu Qian, and there were two cups of freshly served coffee on the table.

The coffee exuded heat and aroma, and Lu Qian spoke first while holding the cup. "let's talk."

The person opposite sneered, as if he was irritated by his calm attitude, "What else is there to talk about. Haven't you already made a choice?"

"I don't understand Lu Qian, what's going on in your mind. You can't get around this hurdle, right? Why did you pull him back after finally separating?"

Fang Fei's character is like this, once he is given a chance to speak, he will say everything he can pour out and never hide anything.

"You know what I think, I think you're just a piece of trash who can't stand a little bit of temptation. Do you know what people think of you?"

His upper body was leaning forward because of his emotions. Although he lowered his voice, there were still one or two guests around the table looking sideways.

"I know what others will think." Lu Qian took a sip of his coffee, the temperature gradually became cold, but his body was very hot.

"Others will think that I'm just greedy for Jing Yan's youth, and if I'm more nasty, they may think that I raised him. If someone knows about us," Lu Qian paused, "As you said, they will think that I seduced him. killed him."

He uttered this passage completely and fluently, every word was straightforward and frank, without any embarrassment.

Because he is no longer afraid of these gossips from the bottom of his heart, "But those are other people's thoughts, and have nothing to do with me. I have never done anything wrong, except for Jing Yan's opinion of me, there is nothing worthy of my return."

Lu Qian originally wanted to explain to him calmly, but while talking, even he himself couldn't help raising his voice for a moment.

"If I have to satisfy everyone, then I don't have to do anything."

Fang Fei frowned, as if he strongly disagreed with his irresponsible thoughts. "You think about it, what about Jing Yan? Can you guarantee that he can bear that? If he regrets it later, who can make it up to him?"

Lu Qian smiled, looking past him and looking out the window. "That's because you don't know him. He is braver than me. Don't care about the outside world's opinion. This is what I told him, but in the end he really taught me."

He drew a lot of strength from Jing Yan, and turned these theories that were only in his mind into reality.

"Then why did you come to talk to me?" Fang Fei felt displeased, "Since you have made up your mind to go all the way to the dark, what are you talking to me about?"

Lu Qian put his hands on the table, and talked with his best friend like he did in college. "I want to tell you clearly about our matter from beginning to end, at least after listening to it before drawing conclusions."

Last time he didn't have the determination and opportunity to face others directly, now he wants to express it completely, he can ignore others, but this is his friend, he wants to gain understanding.

He tried his best to objectively state everything that happened in the past two years, including his own stupidity and slowness, including the pain and torture that Jing Yan suffered.Halfway through, the waiter came over to add two glasses of water, and he paused for a while.

"I'm telling you this, not to excuse myself. If I have to pursue the responsibility at the beginning, then I must be at fault, but I hope you can at least understand Jing Yan."

It was almost dinner time, and the people in the coffee shop gradually dispersed.Fang Fei was silent for a while, and finished drinking the water in the glass. "So you want to say that you came together because of love."

He pushed the water glass away and leaned back on the back of the sofa. "Sorry, I can't accept this reason. I believe that you really love each other, and I will no longer discriminate against your feelings."

"But even if this is the case, if you have a sense of responsibility, you shouldn't accept it, let alone chase him back. Lu Qian, you are an adult, and you know better than him how to go in the future, but you Don’t make mistakes again and again.”

Fang Fei crossed his arms, his eyes gradually turned cold. "My opinion is not important to you, I admit it. What about the teacher? How do you want to see the teacher in the future."

He asked this question before, and Lu Qian didn't know how to answer it at that time, but now he wants to understand.

"The teacher has passed away. I respect him very much and feel sorry for him. But am I going to give up Jing Yan for a dead person? Then what do I take Jing Yan for? The relationship between me and Jing Yan What is it?"

Lu Qian exhaled slowly, "I will love him forever and take care of him. Apart from ourselves, no external factors can interfere with us anymore."

After saying this, the lights in the garden just came on.There are twinkling silver lights on the flower vine shelf, which is very beautiful in the background of dusk.

The coffee was over, and the conversation between the two of them came to an end.

"This is your insistence, I will not interfere. But..." Fang Fei's voice was rough, as if he was just saying goodbye to this meeting, or saying goodbye to a friend from the past.

"But I also have my principles. No matter what you say, I can't accept it, let alone accept it happening to you." Fang Fei stood up, put on his coat, and put his hands on the back of the sofa.

"Maybe you think I'm a very selfish friend, but as you said, you have the right not to be influenced by the outside world, and so do I. I can't violate my principles."

"Let's keep in touch less in the future, goodbye." Fang Fei brushed past Lu Qian and left through the front door.

It's like when the university discusses the subject all night, they will argue and even quarrel for each other's different positions, and sometimes they want to beat each other up, but often they go to class together the next day.

This time is different, there will be no second question left for them to discuss in life.

Lu Qian didn't stop him, but Fang Fei made it very clear that this is an unsolvable problem, especially for two people who have their own bottom line to protect.

Jing Yan was waiting in the car, and Lu Qian believed him when he said he would come back.He didn't know what the people in the store were talking about, but saw Lu Qian smiling at him halfway.

It wasn't until the lights outside were turned on that they finally finished talking.There was no seemingly intense quarrel in the middle, Jing Yan thinks they should make up, right?Uncle Fang stood up and put on his coat. He thought Lu Qian would follow.

But no, Fang Fei came out alone, and glanced in his direction before leaving.Jing Yan didn't know whether he should go down to say hello, but he left without saying a word.

Lu Qian was still sitting in that coffee shop, looking so lonely from Jing Yan's perspective.There was almost no one in the shop, and he was the only one sitting by the window alone.

Jing Yan didn't care about what they said at the moment, he pushed the car door open, only eager to go and hug him.

He ran into the store and stood beside Lu Qian.Before he could say anything, Lu Qian looked up to see him, smiled softly, and pulled him down to sit.

Lu Qian intertwined his fingers and sat together quietly for a while.

"I failed to convince him, not even to make him understand you." Lu Qian sighed, leaning his head on the sofa a little weakly. "I'm sorry, I actually guessed the result, but it still makes me feel like a failure if I didn't succeed."

Jing Yan shook his head vigorously, not wanting to hear him say that. "It's okay, I don't care about these. Instead, you..."

He tried his best to hold back the tears, but it was so difficult that he wanted to cry again.Recently, he stopped crying for himself, but always felt wronged for Lu Qian.

"It's you instead... I know he's your very important friend, but it's because of me..."

"It's not because of you." Lu Qian stopped what he wanted to say next, "Even if it is, it's because of us. We are one, remember, we bear everything together."

Lu Qian kissed the corner of his eyes, licked away the tears, and once again used a little trick to trick him. "If you continue to cry, I will worry about whether you want to use this reason to separate from me again."

His face was flat, with helplessness and sadness, Jing Yan was afraid that he really thought so, so he quickly wiped away his tears. "Stop talking, let's go home."

Lu Qian insisted on checking the time with Jing Yan's hand, and the arms of the two were intertwined. "It's so late, are you hungry? It's a little late to go home and cook, let's eat here."

Jing Yan didn't want to, so he puffed up his cheeks on purpose. "I don't want to eat this food... go home, I want to eat what you made." In fact, he just wanted to distract Lu Qian's attention, and he didn't want him to stay here anymore.

Fortunately, the two of them were easier to deceive than the other, so Lu Qian quickly picked up his clothes, "Then let's go back quickly."
