I looked at the person in front of me in shock, how could he appear here? When my uncle asks, what should I say?
"Mr. Jun." My uncle had already opened the door and came in. It must have been his uncle who opened the door for him to come.
Jun Changqian stood up, took the cup from his uncle's hand and said, "Just call me Changqian."
"Buyu called me in the middle of the night. I guess I'm not used to it. I just happened to have nothing to do in the past two days, so I came over to take a look." Jun Changqian's expression was very natural. Lu Qiulang didn't go into details, nodded, and turned to look.
He asked me: "Are you catching a cold? It's very cold at home, and there's no heating."
Jun Changqian stretched out his hand to test the temperature of my forehead and said, "I have a slight fever."
Lu Qiulang said: "Well, let's go see her parents today, and we will go back to Q City early tomorrow morning." Then he said to Jun Changqian: "Then, you sit down first, and I will prepare the memorial items."
Jun Changqian nodded and sat down on the edge of my bed again. Perhaps because he came all night, he had faint circles under his eyes and some stubble appeared, making him look more masculine.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better?" He asked me softly. I frowned slightly, fussing over his fuss, but my heart was already filled with his sudden surprise.
My uncle prepared some things, and the three of us went out to go up the mountain. It is said that my parents were in a car accident in S City, and rescue efforts at the hospital failed. Master Liu who was traveling with him could not contact Lu Qiulang, so he took my parents from S City.
It was very troublesome to transport it back, so I discussed with the village chief and cremated it on the spot in S City. The place I want to go to now is only the cemetery where my parents' ashes are buried.
"Qiulang," someone came over.
"Oh, uncle." Lu Qiulang responded, and the man looked at me and said, "This is Xiaoyu back then. She has grown so big. It's so pitiful that we finally found her again. She looks so much like Yanhong.
"
I smiled slightly and nodded in response, then I saw his eyes turning to Jun Changqian. Jun Changqian's temperament was already different, and now he was standing next to me, and he asked doubtfully
: "Is this Buyu's boyfriend? Fortunately, Buyu was adopted and grew up so well. Otherwise, we would be really uneasy in our hearts."
Feeling uneasy, I looked up at the faces of Lu Qiulang and Jun Changqian, secretly guessing how they would react to the speculation about the "boyfriend" of the person in front of me.
Jun Changqian looked at me, curled his lips, and nodded towards me.
Lu Qiulang seemed not to have heard, and answered the second half of his words: "Uncle, don't say that. Thanks to you for taking care of my brother and sister-in-law's funeral. Now I have found him without saying a word, and finally everything is over.
.”
"I blame myself, Qiu Fa is such a good person, how could he be so evil-hearted, just for more than a year's salary..." The village chief was already in tears.
Lu Qiulang took his hand and said: "Uncle, everything is over. I plan to take Xiaoyu up the mountain to pay homage to my brother and sister-in-law. I will return to Q City tomorrow. If anything happens in the village in the future, please call me."
I looked at the village chief in confusion. What did he just say?
Lu Qiulang said goodbye to the village chief and led Jun Changqian and I up the mountain.
"I came back during the Qingming Festival last year, but the grass grew very fast." Lu Qiulang put down his things and took the tools to start cleaning the weeds on the tomb. Jun Changqian took off his coat and picked up the tools.
I think he has never done such a job since he was a child, but he only took a look at how Lu Qiulang held it and dug up the roots of some thorns, and he knew how to do it.
I stood nearby, looking at the photos of my parents on the tombstone, and felt sad. Human emotions are really strange. Obviously I have never lived with them, but it is just the fragments of memories in my heart, plus the current situation.
In such a scene, emotions that are thicker than water immediately surged up.
Jun Changqian took off his gloves and patted my shoulder to express comfort. I turned my head and inadvertently met Lu Qiulang's thoughtful eyes.
When we came down from the mountain, Lu Qiulang specially took me to the village chief's house. Thanks to him for the changes in my family that year, in addition to having people pick up my parents' ashes, he also personally sent my grandma to the hospital to handle the funeral arrangements.
Jun Changqian followed all the way, and Lu Qiulang took a red envelope and gave it to the old man, saying that he would treat the village chief as an old man in his family from now on. The village chief's eyes were blurry with tears again, and he looked at us and murmured again:
"Those black-hearted people should be taken away by God."
The village elder's wife brought tea out, and Lu Qiulang asked the village elder to go aside, and the two started chatting in their hometown dialect. My previous memory has not been completely restored, and I have not been back for so many years, although I can hear their conversation. As for
The content is inaudible.
Jun Changqian sat next to me, and the village elder's wife brought some dried fruits to the table and let us do as we pleased in half-baked Mandarin. I nodded to her to express my gratitude, and turned to look. Jun Changqian was looking at Lu Qiulang and his uncle.
He frowned slightly and looked heavy.
When he returned to Q City the next day, Jun Changqian made an excuse that there were still some unfinished things in Q City and he happened to be planning to go back, so he went together.
Back in Q City, Sister Mingyue didn't go home and stayed in the office. When she learned that we were returning early, she went to buy big and small bags of New Year's goods.
After all, he was the one who supported me. As the Spring Festival was approaching, it was hard to drive people away. So Jun Changqian stayed behind while Sister Mingyue cooked, and they sat across from each other.
During the dinner, Jun Changqian took care of me as usual, serving me dishes according to my preferences, but he ate slowly and elegantly, as if admiring my eating style was a great pleasure.
"Mr. Jun, you're welcome." Sister Mingyue acted like the host. Jun Changqian smiled slightly, picked up the dishes and said, "You're welcome, just call me Changqian."
Sister Mingyue and Lu Qiulang looked at each other, and Lu Qiulang said: "Changqian, let's have a cup of tea after dinner."
When I heard these words, I was startled. I looked up at Lu Qiulang. His face was calm and natural, as if he really just wanted to chat with the man who raised me after dinner.
However, the hand holding his trouser leg uneasily was held. Jun Changqian did not look at me, but smiled and replied: "Just in time, I brought a box of Yuqian Longjing."
He actually brought a box of Yuqian Longjing? Was he planning to take it home to Grandpa Jun to use it today, or was he prepared in advance?
A slight force came from the back of my hand, and I pressed twice. I lowered my eyebrows, thinking that Jun Changqian would definitely be able to pass the test of my uncle, so I felt relieved.
After the meal, I helped Sister Mingyue clean up the dishes and asked me a question unexpectedly: "Buyu, you and Mr. Jun..."
She stopped what she was doing and said, "Is it really just about adoption and being adopted?"
How obvious are we? Even Sister Mingyue can see it.
My face heated up, I lowered my head slightly, turned around and left the kitchen. I took out an orange from the refrigerator, cut it into eight pieces and placed it on the fruit plate. Even so, I was still thinking about what Jun Changqian and Lu Qiulang would talk about.
?
Sister Mingyue laughed loudly and said: "No wonder you are indifferent to Yangxi. It turns out that our silence means that we have already agreed." She said to me through the frosted kitchen door: "However, your uncle will chat with Mr. Jun.
What?"
She is a straightforward person, wearing plastic gloves and opening the kitchen door: "Aren't you worried?"
I smiled, my eyes were calm, but my heart was in turmoil. Sister Mingyue could see it. Yilu Qiulang was so sharp, how could she not see it?
Sister Mingyue said: "You are calm and can completely trust Mr. Jun."
I didn't comment, but the waves in my heart grew bigger and bigger. Jun Changqian is currently the fiancé of the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Who am I? Although the adoption relationship with him has been terminated, how do I have the qualifications to compete with Ji Min'en? Will uncle?
Tell him that you don't want me to get hurt and ask him to leave me?
What should I do if I really don’t have Jun Changqian by my side?
I kept asking questions like this in my mind. Sister Mingyue chuckled, nudged me with her waist and said, "They can't just drink tea. You can bring the fruit in."
Sister Mingyue gave me an excuse to go find out the news, and immediately went upstairs with the fruit.
Lu Qiulang has a separate study room. He usually stays there for a long time when he needs to collect information and think about defense angles and evidence.
There is a small balcony with a round table and a wicker chair. At this moment, two grown men are sitting face to face. Lu Qiulang is making tea, his movements are graceful.
Both men are non-smokers, so there was no smoke at this time.
"Speechless." Jun Changqian saw me first, or maybe he didn't see me, but felt it. I was wearing slippers, so I could walk as lightly as possible. I still remember that he had said before that he could smell my scent.
At this time, he saw me before Lu Qiulang, and he felt a little happy in his heart.
Lu Qiulang looked at the fruit platter in my hand with a face on his face and tapped on the table.
I hesitated and refused to leave, so I pretended to go to his bookcase to see if there were any books suitable for me. Jun Changqian's shadow was reflected on the glass of the bookcase, and the corners of his mouth were raised wide.
"Xiaoyu, the bookstore is downstairs. Here are professional books." Lu Qiulang reminded me, and then said: "You go down first, Changqian and I have something to say."
I pouted, and then Jun Changqian coaxed softly: "Go put on some clothes, it's cold."
I was still standing there, and he chuckled again and said, "Be good, I'll be down soon."
By doing this, he was completely exposed in front of his uncle. But looking at his confident look, he must have had this plan for a long time.
I walked down the steps step by step, biting my index finger. Could it be that he had sorted out his relationship with Ji Min'en?
