The doorbell rang. Lu Licheng raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass. He carefully stood upright on one foot and walked out of the study with a cane.
At his place, Mrs. Jin, a part-time worker, would come to clean every few days. Today she had something to do during the day, so she made an appointment for the evening.
Sister-in-law Jin worked in the Lu family for a short period of time, and later came to City A with her children.
After Lu Licheng came to City A, his mother was worried and asked her to come and take care of him when she had time. Because she knew Lu Licheng very well and had taken care of him before, she knew that Lu Licheng's leg was injured.
of.
When he walked to the door, Lu Licheng opened it without warning. When he looked up, he was shocked. The person standing at the door was not Mrs. Jin, but... Xia Mingyou.
"Hello...Hello!" Lu Licheng concealed his panic.
"Principal Lu..." Xia Mingyou stood outside the door. The moment he saw Lu Licheng, he was equally surprised, "Are you injured? Your leg..."
As he said that, Xia Mingyou moved his eyes to the crutch that Lu Licheng was holding.
If it was really just an injury, then it would be fine. Suddenly, Lu Licheng's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He was stunned for a long time before he remembered to invite Xia Mingyou into the room: "Please come in, come in and sit down!"
After entering the house, Xia Mingyou saw that Lu Licheng was going to help him make coffee, so he quickly said: "No need to be busy..."
"Mr. Xia, do you feel uncomfortable seeing me like this? I'm used to it..." After saying that, Lu Licheng walked into the kitchen with a cane.
Xia Mingyou looked in the direction of the kitchen and fell into deep thought.
"Drink coffee!" After a while, Lu Licheng brought out a tray with one hand, and Xia Mingyou quickly stood up and caught it.
"Thanks!"
After sitting down, Xia Mingyou picked up the cup and blew it gently, but his eyes were focused on Lu Licheng's left leg. It was obvious that half of the trouser leg was empty.
This is not an injury, but... an amputation.
"When did it happen?" Xia Mingyou put down the coffee cup in his hand and asked.
"years ago!"
"Does Chengcheng know?"
"have no idea!"
"Is it because of this that you didn't come back to find her?"
Lu Licheng did not answer, but pleaded very urgently: "I hope Chengcheng never knows."
"Then you shouldn't come back!"
"Yes!" Lu Licheng smiled bitterly, "I really shouldn't come back, I really shouldn't come back... I'm a coward, I'm afraid of being disliked by her, I'm afraid that I will drag her down, I don't dare to stand like this
In front of her, I couldn't accept the look in her eyes when she looked at the incomplete me."
Xia Mingyou frowned, no matter how strong a man is, he will have weaknesses, and the weakness of the man in front of him is his excessive pursuit of perfection. He cannot accept his own imperfections, so he does not dare to show his imperfections in front of others.
"Why do you want to hide it from Chengcheng?"
"Because I love her!" A trace of regret flashed in Lu Licheng's eyes. Missing Xia Yucheng was his biggest regret in this life.
"No, you don't love her, you only love yourself."
"I love her, I love Chengcheng. In this world, there is no one who loves her more than me, not even Feng Hao can do it."
"I don't know what Feng Hao would choose if he encountered such a thing. But, Lu Licheng, Chengcheng loved you so much back then, but you didn't give her the right to choose. And you even questioned her love for you.
