85 Traces of the Past (I)
As agreed before, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang did not perform a full show on stage this time, but only did a few new moves they were practicing as spoilers for the new season. Naturally, there is no comment on the specific repertoire selection and style.
"If you want to know, just watch the Olympics. In the end, Xu Haoyang let go and sold a pass.
So far, the part of their appearance in the show has been recorded, and the next two days are special sessions for Zhou Jiayu and several other newcomers, Wang Liu and Chen Tingyuan, as the only permanent guests in pairs skating, will also cooperate with the recording of the three-day recording time. Amy and Liu Bofei also stayed at the recording site as guest commentators. As a result, the remaining two days of free time became another rare leisure for Han Lu and Xu Haoyang.
When they changed their clothes and walked out of the door of the recording site, Han Lu saw that the expression on Xu Haoyang's face was obviously stiff.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
ββ¦β¦ That car. Xu Haoyang pointed to a Mazda parked in front.
"Huh?"
The window of the Mazda was rolled open, and a person inside poked his head out and waved to Xu Haoyang inadequately.
"That's my dad's car. β
ββ¦β¦ Huh?"
Han Lu was directly stunned.
"Then I'm ......"
At this time, Lu Bolin also walked out. He came out to smoke, took off his coat and hung it on his arm, and when he saw Xu Haoyang's father's car and the two people standing in place as if they didn't know what to do for a while, he quickly understood what was going on.
"What's wrong?" he walked over with a knowingly smile and patted Han Lu on the shoulder from behind. "Is it over?"
Han Lu glanced at him and didn't speak.
"I'm almost done here. Lu Bolin said, "Do you want to come with me?"
"No, I don't. β
"And where are you going next?"
"Let's go play. Xu Haoyang squeezed over and inserted himself between Han Lu and Lu Bolin. "Didn't you see us hailing a taxi?"
"That's the car you called?" Lu Bolin asked.
"Or else?"
Xu Haoyang lied confidently. It's rare to return to his own territory, and his whole person's confidence seems to be up with him.
"It's fine. Lu Bolin shrugged, "Then you guys...... Go ahead. β
Xu Haoyang pulled Han Lu and walked straight towards the Mazda, and then, he knocked on the car window, and the people inside opened the door, he opened the back door, let Han Lu in first, and then followed him in.
Father Xu didn't know the previous episode, he watched his son get into the car without dodging, and his heart was also a little confused.
He knows that he is a high school physical education teacher, and he can no longer keep up with his son's rhythm and concepts, so for Xu Haoyang, they have always had a tendency to say the same thing about their son.
"You told us you were coming back this time. Father Xu said, "I just thought that it would be troublesome for you to take a taxi, so I came here to wander around, and by the way, I wanted to pick you up." β
"Hmm. β
"This is your partner, isn't he?"
"Yes. Xu Haoyang looked at Han Lu, she somehow got into his car with him, and now she was sitting on the side with an embarrassed face. Xu Haoyang couldn't help but feel a little funny.
It's a bit excessive......
He thought.
But she is also rare to see like this.
"It's my current partner. Xu Haoyang said, "It's also my girlfriend." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Huh?"
Before Han Lu could react, Father Xu was startled first, and he immediately stabilized the steering wheel.
"You, you, you, you......" Father Xu said, "You haven't said that before?"
"I haven't said that before. Xu Haoyang said, "It's not now. β
"No, this kind of thing, shouldn't you tell us in advance, let's prepare a little, right?"
"No, I don't. Han Lu couldn't help but say, "I'm just...... Just say hello to your uncle and aunt and ......"
"Then what's the matter!" Father Xu interrupted her rudely, "In this case, let's go home first, and then you give me and your mother some time, and we can prepare, okay?"
"No, you wait. Xu Haoyang suddenly grasped another important point, "That means I'm coming back, you haven't prepared anything, have you?"
"Hahahaha, how can that. Father Xu said, "I'm ready." β
"What are you going to do?"
"Big buns. Father Xu said, "Sauerkraut stuffing." β
ββ¦β¦β
Han Lu smiled out the window.
"Alright. Xu Haoyang said, "Let me tell you, I have already booked a hotel for her." We just sat down for a moment and then we're gone. β
Mazda first drove to Xu Haoyang's house.
His family lives in an old neighborhood with no elevator and the highest floor is only the sixth floor, which is different from the rapid urban evolution of the city center, where time seems to have stopped at the beginning of the century, leaving a considerable degree of the laid-back atmosphere of the past. Stepping up the stairs of a residential building, it feels like you're returning home from school with a bag of fried chicken in your hand.
This kind of ordinary life made Han Lu feel a little trance.
Andβ
It was completely out of her imagination and plans!
Xu Haoyang said that she would go home by herself, and she would go directly to the hotel!
But all in all, things developed to this situation inexplicably, and she had to follow Xu Haoyang and Xu's father and step into the door of his house.
The first thing that catches your eye is a vase from one place.
Yes, vases. From the base of the window to the wall, from the hallway to the head of the bed, there are vases filled with fake flowers (and there seems to be some real flowers).
Han Lu didn't know how to get off his feet for a while.
Xu Haoyang next to him also obviously showed the expression of my own mother and grandmother.
"My mom ......," he said, "and my mom has a hobby, especially buying fake flowers." β
Han Lu looked at the room and smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's good, it's good." β
"I'm sorry. "I know it's a bit abrupt." But I actually came back once, and I did thinkβ"
"Don't tell me it's a set. Han Lu immediately turned his head to look at him, "You'd better not tell me this is a trick." β
"No!" Xu Haoyang hurriedly brushed it off, "It's really not!"
ββ¦β¦β
At the same time as Xu's father brought tea, Xu Haoyang's mother also walked out of the kitchen wiping her hands, probably because the pots and pans in the kitchen collided too loudly, so that she didn't hear the conversation outside. When she saw her son and his partner appear in her living room at the same time, the mother's expression immediately froze.
Then it turned into an expression that I didn't know whether to laugh or be surprised.
"Korea, Korea, Korea, Korea...... Han Lu?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes, it's me. β
"Oh, my mom, why don't you say it in advance, I'm dressed like something now, I have to go to the door to greet this ......and this," Xu Mu exclaimed, wiped her hand on her apron a few times, and stretched out her hand to Han Lu: "Can you shake hands?"
"My mom is a fan of you. Xu Haoyang whispered.
Without allowing Han Lu to struggle, the mother immediately grabbed her hand.
"Oops, oops, oops, oops. She sighed repeatedly, and then quickly asked, as if she remembered something, "How is it? My son didn't hold you back, did he?"
"No, no. β
"Really, I tell you don't be embarrassed, really, if my son drags you back, you'll ......."
She grabbed Han Lu's hand and didn't let go, at this time, Father Xu passed by her, went into the kitchen to get hot water to make tea, and said lightly: "Don't grab other people's hands, she is our son's girlfriend, and there will be a chance to catch it in the future." β
"Huh?"
Mother Xu didn't seem to know whether to hold on tighter or let go for a while, and after several hesitations, she finally reluctantly let go. At the same time, he glanced at Xu Haoyang fiercely - and slapped his ass hard.
ββ¦β¦ Mom, can we not do this?"
"Can't!" Xu Mu glared at him, "You have a ball of ink, why don't you hurry up and get chocolate and nuts!"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know where you are!"
This pair of parents is also a living treasure, but this noisy environment made Han Lu relax.
She suddenly found that she seemed to have encountered such a scene often in the past few years, and there were some things that she felt that she couldn't accept no matter what, but when this matter was pushed in front of her under the influence of various factors, it seemed that everything was not so big of a deal.
Perhaps, she just needs an outside force to push her, push her into a new environment, a new situation, let her breathe in it, adapt, and then in the repeated struggle, make herself more complete.
She was now vaguely aware of it.
Xu Haoyang's parents didn't say anything to Han Lu that embarrassed her, but just pulled her to chat about some and a little more sensitive topics, but they didn't talk about a word.
They have always been people who know how to measure themselves.
After that, Xu Haoyang's parents walked into the kitchen to cook, and Xu Haoyang took Han Lu to his room.
The room was small, less than fifteen square meters, the walls were painted the light blue that the little boy liked, and the room was piled up with books, computers, basketballs, pianos, and a lot of sheet music from his school days. These things seem to have retained the way he was when he was a teenager, and then he left here for Beijing, and after all these years, these things are still here.
This is all part that Han Lu doesn't know.
His childhood and adolescence were parts that had nothing to do with her.
She noticed the photo frame on the desk, where there was a photo of Xu Haoyang winning the World Youth Championship for the first time. Inside are Xu Haoyang, Liu Bofei, and-
That name and that face obviously made Han Lu unhappy.
Xu Haoyang immediately realized what she saw.
This issue was deliberately ignored by them several times, but it had to be talked about eventually.
If you don't talk about it, there will always be something stuck in their relationship, and there is no way to go further.
"Let's go out for a walk. β
Xu Haoyang said, "Let's go to my first ice rink to have a look. β
