Chapter 62: The Key
"A large plate of chicken, special cold skin, Northwest mixed vegetables, cumin lamb chops, ten lamb skewers, oh, and a big bowl of handmade yogurt, um...... That's all for now! ”
Lu Yun: "......"
Lu Junfeng: "......"
Lu Yao didn't plan to ask the opinions of the other two at all, she finished ordering the food by herself, and as soon as the waiter left, she noticed the strange expressions of the two men, "What's wrong?" Something on my face? Or do you think I'm ordering too much? ”
Lu Junfeng said in his heart: "It turns out that you also know that you have ordered too much!" ”
Lu Yun pondered and spoke: "Order so much, can you finish eating?" ”
He rarely came out to eat, and it was the first time he followed Lu Yao's proposal to come to this Xinjiang restaurant, which is said to be very famous in S City, so he wasn't sure if Lu Yao ordered so much because the number of dishes in this restaurant was relatively small.
Lu Yao took a sip of hot tea, held the teacup in his hand to keep warm, and said without thinking: "Of course I can't finish eating!" ”
"Then you order so many ......"
Lu Yao's voice overshadowed Lu Yun, "I've been coming to this restaurant for a long time, just in case I don't have a chance to eat again in the future, I have to order all the signature dishes in the store today!" ”
"If you like, we can come as often as you like." Lu Yao's words made Lu Yun's heart sour.
Lu Yao didn't realize his father's guilt for himself, and said seriously: "I'm afraid that I want to eat too much, and I won't be able to remember this place for a while!" Dad, after eating, I still want to go to the famous dessert shop, not far from here, walk two blocks away, what is it called 'fresh taro fairy', our classmates all say that their signature dessert is very delicious......"
Lu Yao chattered about the things she liked, in fact, she was very similar to her mother, the whole person became radiant, her eyes were as bright as if they contained dazzling starlight, although she spoke quickly, she pronounced clearly, and when she said that she was excited, she would subconsciously use her finger to gesture in the void.
And her "Dad" is different from the banter she usually calls him Dr. Lu, the righteousness of her buddies when she calls him Lu Yun, or the helplessness of the single "Dad" word.
The word "Dad" was shouted out of her mouth softly and glutinously, making people feel that it didn't matter how much of a mistake she made and what a big disaster she had.
He was her father, the one who silently guarded her when she walked forward firmly, and did not hesitate to reach out to support her when she stumbled, to block all misfortunes and injuries for her, and to stand behind her no matter what happened.
Lu Yun felt that he hadn't felt the so-called happiness for a long time.
His daughter and this child named Lu Junfeng are all by his side, no matter what happened in the past, they have been buried in the past and become a dusty past.
From then on, the three of them were a family.
Lu Yao's stomach seemed to be connected to the sea, and he had a meal in a Xinjiang restaurant, still thinking about the dessert shop of "Fresh Taro Fairy", so he dragged Lu Yun two streets to eat.
Lu Junfeng followed behind the father and daughter with Lu Yao's schoolbag in his hand, always with a faint smile on his face.
Lu Yao's tender yellow knitwear occupied most of his sight, not only him, but people who walked by them would subconsciously glance at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao is slender and tall, a pair of legs under the pleated skirt are long and straight, her delicate facial features have not completely faded from the childishness of a girl, and the corners of her eyes are slightly bent to look like a smile, she turned around and complained to him who was a step behind, "Oh, you go faster!" ”
Lu Junfeng let out a faint "um", followed Lu Yao's father and daughter briskly, and stood beside her.
The three people walking side by side took up more than half of the space on a street that was not too wide, and those who passed by them inevitably had to turn slightly sideways to get there.
Lu Yun raised his hand to block the awning on the small cart of the roadside fruit stall, Lu Junfeng stepped forward and pushed away a certain roadside advertisement that stretched out to Lu Yao, and the two men invariably protected Lu Yao by his side......
Since Lu Yao and Xiao Meng "communicated", the rumors about Lu Junfeng in the school gradually disappeared, and Lu Yao has not checked whether the rumors that were in the hustle and bustle at the beginning were not fueled by him.
Now occasionally someone mentions Lu Junfeng's matter, and most of them don't talk much, firstly, they are talking about some old jokes with nothing new, and secondly, a boy in class 8 maliciously spread rumors about his classmates and was publicly educated by the principal's office, and even called his parents, plus the final exam is approaching, everyone puts their minds into review.
F Middle School's usual homework is quite heavy, and it is even more crazy when it comes to the exam week, and the teachers of various subjects are as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they see the "make-up classes" in the morning, noon and evening after class.
Although Lu Yao can be regarded as a person who loves learning, her so-called "love" is only limited to taking classes seriously and completing her homework on time.
In the last half month before the exam, even their experimental class had to be dragged to the classroom, and the math teacher insisted on finishing the whole math paper before leaving class, Lu Yao glanced at his watch, and the class was nearly an hour later than usual!
The teacher's last sentence "Come home, it doesn't look good this day" sounded like a hypocrisy to Lu Yao!
Xiao Meng's classmates were "invited" to their parents not long ago, and after being threatened by his father to smash all the electronic devices in the house, he didn't dare to make any moths during this period of time, and even Lu Yao hadn't seen this person for several days.
Lu Yao waited for two buses and finally squeezed into one, staggered all the way to home, stood at the bottom of the building but was dumbfounded, the key was lost!
She thought she must have lost her house key when she got her transit card on the bus!
Although she didn't hold out any hope, she still pressed her doorbell and waited for a while, but there was no surprise and no response.
Also, before the end of the year, Lu Yun was the busiest, and he had already slept directly in the duty room of the hospital for several days in a row, and Lu Junfeng was an errand student in the ordinary class or at the end of the crane, and he had to make up at least two classes after school every day, so it was impossible for her to go home earlier.
In desperation, she had to take another car to the hospital to find Lu Yun to get the key.
If you want to talk about things in a hurry, you can't stop a person from being unlucky!
In the past two days, there has been a shortage of people in the emergency room, and Lu Yun has been there to help, and just before Lu Yao went to find him, there was a serious patient in the emergency room who wanted to be transferred to the hospital, and Lu Yun was not at ease and went to the car in person.
Lu Yao returned in vain, so he had to stop a taxi at the entrance of the hospital to go home.
As soon as she got out of the car, a rainstorm directly poured her heart cold!
Lu Yao dragged his heavy steps and walked in the heavy rain, so tired that he didn't want to take another step forward at all, and let the rain wash him back and forth from head to toe.
Lu Junfeng was worried about not bringing an umbrella, who knew that when he got off the bus at the station, he found that the rain had stopped, and he felt that he was lucky, but as soon as he turned from the path in the community garden, he saw a figure sitting on the steps at the bottom of the building.
It was dark in the winter evening, and it wasn't until he walked downstairs that he realized that this figure was Lu Yao!
"Yao, why are you sitting here?"
Lu Yao didn't speak, she rested her chin on her knees, wrapped her hands around her shoulders, and looked ahead with unfocused eyes.
Lu Junfeng went to pull her, only to find that her coat was wet.
"Why are your clothes wet and raining, why don't you go home?" Lu Junfeng picked up Lu Yao with one hand and her schoolbag with the other.
Lu Yao didn't seem to have any intention of getting up at all, his body was as heavy as a piece of iron, and he was firmly sucked on the floor tile downstairs.
"What's wrong?" Lu Junfeng noticed Lu Yao's strange appearance, and he squatted down to look at hers.
The wet hair stuck to her cheeks on both sides, lining her face more and more smaller, I don't know how much rain she was drenched in, and how long she sat here, her nose was a little red, if it wasn't for the dark, Lu Junfeng should still be able to find Lu Yao's slightly trembling shoulders.
"I lost my ...... key" As soon as Lu Yao opened his mouth, he realized that he couldn't suppress his choking at all.
Lu Yao said to himself, what is this? Isn't it that I lost the key to the house, didn't I find Lu Yun, didn't I just get soaked in the heavy rain and sat downstairs blowing some cold wind? These are all accidents, a series of accidents caused by one accident, no one is wrong, no one is to blame.
She thought she could calmly accept what happened, but when she saw Lu Junfeng's figure appear at the intersection, at that moment, her grievances, discomfort and helplessness showed up at an inopportune time, and people were overwhelmed in an instant.
What a person she is afraid that she won't be able to go home without a key!
During the exam week, Lu Yao caught a cold, a cold and a cough, and the whole person coughed and lost weight.
For this reason, Lu Yun specially asked the school for personal favors, so that Lu Yao could go home from school on time without having to make up classes with others, and the teacher actually disliked Lu Yao's illness at such a critical moment, and he might "pass ten or hundred" and affect others, so he was happy to agree to Lu Yun's request.
Lu Yao didn't have to drag the class home on time, Lu Junfeng's teacher in their class seemed to be stimulated by something, and magically stopped leaving him to make up for the class, he went home earlier than Lu Yao every day!
Lu Yao's key was not recovered in the end, but she didn't mention another one, because since that day, when she came home from school, there would always be someone who went home before her, and he would open the door for you if you knocked on the door, so it didn't matter to Lu Yao whether she had a key or not.
Many years later, Lu Yao realized that she was sitting on the steps at the bottom of her house, and the sadness she suddenly felt was not because of the lost key, but an empty home where no one would wait for her.
In the end, she stubbornly never got another one, because she longed for someone to become a key to open the door for her, not in her bag, but in her arms, cherished in her heart, a "key" that would never be lost.
Finally finished the exam, Xiao Meng began to call friends to go out again, he waited outside the examination room for a long time, and when he saw Lu Yao, who had lost a lot of weight, wearing a mask and walking out of the examination room, he thought that his eyes had the concave effect in the haha mirror, he had never understood what it meant to be "not seen for a day as if it was every other autumn", but now he understands that not seeing him for half a month can simply make people reborn!
"I said Da Yaoyao, are you going for liposuction and plastic surgery?" was so thin that he was about to lose his shape, and he put on a mask for some reason.
Lu Yao had just finished the exam, and the whole person was groggy and too lazy to talk to him.
"What's wrong, tell me, is that kid Lu Junfeng bullying you?"
Lu Yao stopped suddenly, and Xiao Meng almost tripped over himself without stopping.
"It's really !!" Xiao Meng looked at the helpless expression on Lu Yao's face, knowing that he had guessed correctly, a wave of anger rose from his heart, "Let's go, look for that grandson, it's against him, and he dares to move my people!" ”
Lu Yao rolled his eyes and pulled the hat on Xiao Meng's down jacket.
