Chapter Twenty-Four: It's Good to Be Young
During the meal, Lu Yao had been peeking at Li Meng, and Dai Shan was also silently observing Lu Yao and Li Meng. There is a situation, there is a situation!
Our gossip-loving Aunt Su naturally won't let go of such an interesting couple in front of her: "Xiao Li, why don't you tell us about your past." You grew up together? Went to school in one place as a child? ”
Seeing Aunt Su's look of asking something, Li Meng couldn't help but be silent in his heart. At this time, Dai Shan was also on the side to help his mother: "Yes, Li Meng, tell us about it." You must know that I have been in the same dormitory with Lu Yao for four years in college, and I haven't seen him talk to anyone, and there were rumors that he was gay because of this! ”
Hearing this, Li Meng subconsciously glanced at Lu Yao, and sure enough, he saw Lu Yao's hand holding chopsticks paused slightly.
"We confessed to him in a group of flowers, but he refused, we were thinking about how high his vision is, such a beautiful girl can't look down on him, what kind of talent does it take to get into his eyes. But now, I seem to know something. After saying that, with his laser eyes wandering over the two of them meaningfully, Li Meng suddenly felt a stomachache, it turned out that gossip is also hereditary.
"Well, that's right. When I was a child, Lu Yao's family and I lived in a community, and we attended the same school until junior high school. Later, I went to study in City A in high school, and after graduation, I went to Australia to study, and we broke off contact. It wasn't until the morning that I went down to borrow a tool and found out it was him. ”
It's so simple that it can't be summarized simply, but it makes Aunt Su's eyes red when she listens, and Li Meng's expression that I know everything and I understand everything is inexplicable: "The Korean drama I watched last week is this plot, the childhood sweethearts who have a good relationship are forced to separate, and they reunite after many years, and the old love is rekindled." Oh my God, I originally thought that everything in the TV series was fake, but now I know that there is really such a fate! ”
Is it good that there is no forced drama, and what kind of old love is rekindled?! Is it really good for Aunt Su to make up for drama like this? Li Meng was speechless for a while, and he forgot how long he had chewed a mouthful of food in his mouth, and he didn't know why it was difficult to swallow.
Dai Shan looked at his mother's excited and can't help it, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, my mother, I'm a Korean drama fan...... Then tell me about Lu Yao's previous relationship history, such as his first love? Or ......"
Li Meng is a person who loves to eat, but today she felt very full and full without eating a bowl of rice, and all the time was spent telling the mother and son in front of her about the past. Also, the classmate named Lu Yao next to you, can your peeking look be more obvious? Of course, what can't be said must be kept secret, Li Meng just talked about ordinary and not very important things.
"What? Lu Yao has never been in love before?! Not normal, certainly not normal! Lu Yao, to be honest, do you have a problem somewhere? ”
“……”
"Yes, Lu Yao, tell your aunt if you have any questions, my aunt's sister is the doctor of the First Hospital...... This kind of thing is not a trivial matter. ”
"Uh, thank you, Auntie, but I really don't need to, I, no problem." His friend and his mother's brain replenishment ability is so powerful, Lu Yao looked at Li Meng faintly and asked for support.
The eyes of the two met, and this scene fell into the eyes of the mother and son opposite, and the mother and son also made eye contact and had an epiphany. But what the two had an epiphany is unknown.
Li Meng now feels like he is sitting on pins and needles: "Auntie, I've eaten well." You eat slowly. ”
"That's all you need to eat? However, it's not too early, that, Lu Yao, if you are not busy, help your aunt send Xiao Li home, I don't worry about the girl leaving alone. ”
Before Lu Yao could reply, Dai Shan hurriedly said, "I'll drive you, I'll be fine anyway." "You know, he has a stomach full of questions waiting for Lu Yao to answer them.
"It's okay, it's okay, you stay at home and wash the dishes later!" Aunt Su felt that her son was very out of luck, and reminded in a low voice: "People exchange feelings with childhood sweethearts, the slower they go, the better, if you don't do it in one night, you send people back by a flying car, how can people communicate!" ”
Dai Shan instantly got his mother's point: "Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I forgot to refuel when I came back." I won't send you today, you go slowly! I wish you all happiness! ”
Li Meng didn't bother to explain anything anymore, anyway, the mother and son only believed what they imagined: "Thank you, Aunt Su, then let's go first." The design draft of the hotel has been roughly out, I will send you the detailed design drawings this week, if there is anything you want to change, you can tell me, and I will revise it again. ”
……
Lu Yao accompanied Li Meng to the outside of the community, the whole way was silent, no one spoke, and no one mentioned whether to take the bus or take a taxi, the two walked one after the other, and the street lamp stretched their shadows very long, very long.
Lu Yao walked behind Li Meng, watching Li Meng's shadow on the ground overlap on his own shadow with the change of distance, and then slowly separated, overlapped, separated, overlapped......
"Li Meng."
"Huh?" Hearing Lu Yao call his name, Li Meng agreed, but he didn't stop, but his pace slowed down a little.
"How have you been doing this time?"
"It's good. I have a job and friends. ”
"Oh, that's good......"
"How's your comic drawing?"
"Still, it's still like that. But recently a website has signed up with me, and if the number of recommendations and online reviews are good during this time, I can start making money. ”
"That's good. In the future, if it's hard, don't forget to look for me, I don't know if I can help you, it's okay to talk to you. I already know where you live, so you are not allowed to escape, and if you dare to hide from me, I promise you will never see me again. Understand? ”
"Oh, I see."
When he was with Lu Yao, Li Meng was actually quite relaxed, and the somewhat domineering side of his personality would naturally manifest itself. But I have to say, Lu Yao really eats this set. To be precise, willingly, but only to Li Meng.
"Go faster, do you hate me so much, you want to distance yourself from me?"
"No, no." Lu Yao hurriedly trotted two steps and walked side by side with Li Meng: "...... Li Meng...... You, there is ...... Boyfriend yet? Finally asked this sentence, Lu Yao felt that his heartbeat instantly accelerated several times.
"Nope."
"Oh." I took a deep breath in my heart, and I felt a lot more relaxed.
Li Meng caught a snickerer at the corner of Lu Yao's mouth: "What, I'm very happy that I can't find a boyfriend?" ”
"No—"
"Lu Yao... You've changed. Hearing this, Lu Yao's face turned pale.
"Actually, I found out last time, I don't know what you've been through during this time, but you're too cautious now. Although you used to be a bit introverted, your overall personality was still positive, and your current personality is really bad. Only then did Li Meng see Lu Yao's stiff face, sighed, and then said: "I used to be like this for a while, so I said that your current character is not good, it is very dangerous, it is very easy, and it becomes extreme." You have to relax more, don't put too much pressure on yourself, go out and walk more, and make friends. Even if it's a relationship, it's good. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you. It's not true that you like men and don't break the law, I won't discriminate against you. ”
"I-I don't mix circles...... I also don't want to live with a man until I grow old. ”
"So what are you going to do in the future? Just such a person? ”
"Then it's good to be alone...... "I want to be with you and grow old together, but I just, fantasizing, how dare I tell you my ridiculous thoughts."
Seeing Lu Yao, whose aura suddenly dropped in front of him, Li Meng patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's good to be alone." You see, I've been single for so many years, haven't I? It's very comfortable. ”
"Then will you find a boyfriend in the future?"
"This ...... I think so. In the past two years, my mother has begun to urge, and the people around her have begun to hug her grandson, and she looks very anxious. ”
"And you—"
"Anyway, I can't have physical contact with men, so who is not looking for them. I recently signed up for a sexless marriage online that is looking for a type of marriage. However, after chatting a few, the outlook on life and values do not match, and then take a look, if there is a suitable word, consider it. ”
"How can you find a marriage? How can you treat marriage as a child's play! Absolutely not! ”
"Why are you so excited? It's not like you don't know why I'm doing this. I can't even hold hands with men, let alone have children. If I find a normal man, on the one hand, I will feel guilty, and on the other hand, I will worry that he will do something to me. So marriage is a good choice for me, I don't want any love, I just need to find someone who can accompany me in my ordinary life, for me, a sense of security is more important than anything else. ”
"But how do you have children in a type marriage? Do you want to go for IVF? It's painful, you know! ”
"You're thinking too much. I love myself so much for how I could do such a humiliating test-tube experiment. Get married first, and after a few years, she will say that I can't give birth, and if she wants a grandson, I will adopt a child, so many people can live without raising, and I can still do good things. Li Meng spoke very calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with her, but she didn't know that her remarks had already caused an uproar in Lu Yao's heart. He was thinking, if Li Meng only needs to get married, then is there a little possibility for him?
The topic started when it began, and it ended when it ended, and the two didn't feel embarrassed. Li Meng thinks that friends are like this, if they want to talk, they can say a few words, and if they don't want to talk, they get along quietly. Lu Yao had all kinds of thoughts and thoughts in his head along the way, and he didn't care if the atmosphere was too quiet.
Really, as Aunt Su said, the slower you go, the better. The two did not take the car, and walked for more than an hour before they reached the downstairs of Li Meng's house.
"It's too late, so I won't invite you upstairs to sit. Remember the road, I'll invite you to come over to Wenju next weekend. Bring my phone, remember my number, and contact me at any time. Go back and stay safe. ”
"Okay."
Li Meng turned around and went upstairs, she thought that Lu Yao would also go back, but she didn't know that Lu Yao had been standing downstairs, watching the light in Li Meng's room turn on until it went out. Then he turned around and left.
The uncle who lived on the first floor looked at Lu Yao, who had a nostalgic face, shook the pu fan in his hand, and smiled: "It's good to be young!" ”
