"Nope." Lin Lu refused very directly.

"Why can't he?"

Lin Lu straightened up, the expression on his face was calm and serious, and after looking at Lin Jingwen for a few seconds, he said:

"We grew up together, he's like my family, and it's weird that you let me marry him. It's like ......" Lin Lu didn't say anything like chaos and incest, but Lin Jingwen heard it.

"Mom, I understand your feelings, but I,"

"You can try to fall in love with him." Lin Jingwen felt that Lu Cheng was really good.

"Fall in love with him?" Lin Lu felt more and more that this possibility was ridiculous, "He is my family, you made me fall in love with my family, isn't it a crime?" ”

"How can it be so serious as you say."

"It's such a serious thing."

Lin Lu was extremely serious, Lin Jingwen sighed in his heart, shook his head lightly and said:

"But he's not."

"He's not, but it doesn't change the fact that we grew up together." Thinking about Lin Jingwen's body, she lowered her voice and slowed down, "Growing up together, don't call." ”

Lin Jingwen said bitterly: "Only when you grow up together will you know who is the best for you." ”

Faced with Lin Jingwen's rebuttal, Lin Lu had nothing to say. Good doesn't mean love.

"Xiaolu," Lin Jingwen said earnestly, "I only have one daughter, can you let me go with peace of mind?" ”

Every time she talked about the problem of life, she mentioned death, and she was under a lot of pressure over and over again.

Lin Lu threw the rag down, "Can you stop this?" ”

Lin Jingwen looked at her in a daze, and Lin Lu said, "Go with peace of mind, go with peace of mind, you think about leaving me every day?" Don't you think it's selfish and irresponsible for you to say that? ”

"......" Lin Jingwen lowered her eyes and clenched her hands. My heart is sour, and I swallow it alone.

Lin Lu went out, took the cigarette case on the table, and lit it against the balcony guardrail.

Facing the bustling city, Lin Lu was very upset, the cigarette was swept into her lungs by her, and she exhaled it hard, but it didn't work at all, she was still very annoyed.

After smoking two cigarettes, the person was much calmer. She looked back into the room, and Lin Jingwen still maintained the sitting posture just now. She sighed: "Alas......" turned around and went back to the house.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Jingwen looked away slightly, looking like she didn't want to pay attention to her. Lin Lu walked up to her, slowly squatted down, and held her hand, her fingers were a little cold, and she was also angry. Lin Lu shook her hand and shouted softly:

"Ms. Lin."

"......" Lin Jingwen didn't answer, but looked at her.

"I don't have a feeling with Damon."

There is no mother in the world who will not understand the thoughts of her children, but she will not accompany you through loneliness, nor will she support you when you are most helpless. What you need is a long-term companionship, which is more powerful and real than loneliness.

Lin Jingwen stroked Lin Lu's face and touched it gently, "Find someone you like to fall in love with, find someone who loves you to marry, this is the advice your mother gave you." ”

Lin Lu buried her head in the palm of her hand, "Mom, I have someone I like."

"......" this answer obviously surprised Lin Jingwen, "When did it happen?" Are you sure? ”

She said so calmly, so reassuringly, as if everything had settled.

Lin Lu continued: "Damon and I don't have the feeling of crossing the gap between men and women, I can love him like family, but I can't love him like a lover. ”

Lin Jingwen was very sorry, "You only treat him as a family member? ”

Or else? Lin Lu's eyes were solemn and noncommittal.

All right. "I want to know what kind of person is better than Damon."

Lin Lu raised his head, and there was light in his eyes. "When I have the chance, I'll introduce him to you."

Lin Jingwen couldn't help but wonder, "Do you really have someone you like?" ”

"Really."

The corners of Lin Lu's mouth hid a smile, Lin Jingwen saw it in her eyes, from childhood to adulthood, Lin Lu would hide her true preferences, and when she had something to cherish, she would hide her emotions and hide it. It seems that there are really people who like it.

If she has a home, she has no regrets. "Okay, bring it back when you have time, and meet up."

It's just that Lin Jingwen never dreamed that Lin Lu's choice was even crazier than she was back then.

"Does Damon know?"

Lin Lu nodded.

"He knows too?"

"Hmm."

"Looks like a good man."

When talking about men, Lin Lu thought of Jiang Sheng's face, young, clean, and full of vitality, not even a man. However, as long as she likes it, she expects it.

"Okay Mom, don't talk about it in the future. You can recuperate with peace of mind, for my health. ”

Lin Jingwen smiled and agreed.

For dinner, Lin Lu made it, she didn't make good Chinese food, and it didn't look good, but it tasted good.

After eating, Lin Lu went to take a bath, and when she came out, she was surrounded by a bath towel, Lin Jingwen had the habit of drinking a little black tea after eating, she held the teacup, blew gently, and casually glanced at it, and saw the scar on Lin Lu's leg, "Lin Lu, you come here." ”

Lin Lu turned around. "What's wrong?"

She walked over.

Lin Jingwen's heart beat faster, and when she put the teacup down, her hand trembled slightly. "How did you get this?" She pointed to her legs.

Lin Lu lowered his head and frowned, he didn't plan to tell Lin Jingwen what he hadn't planned to tell Lin Jingwen now.

When she looked up again, she smiled easily, "I accidentally hurt it, it's okay." ”

"Come closer, I'll see." Lin Jingwen pulled her arm, carried the person in front of her eyes, and touched her fingertips on the scar, she had been in the army when she was young, this was definitely not an accidental injury, raised her head, her eyes were angry, "To be honest, don't try to lie to me." ”

"It's ......"

"It's a knife wound."

“！” Uh, it's seen.

I can't hide it, I can only talk nonsense. "It's not a knife wound, I went to the garment factory and was injured by a machine there."

"Really?" Lin Jingwen touched the scar distressedly, she raised Lin Lu very carefully, and she never let her be injured and left a scar since she was a child.

"Really." Lin Lu's tone was affirmative.

"I'm still injured at work." Lin Lu said clearly, and calmly went back to the room, "I'm going to get dressed, it's a little cold." ”

"Go, don't catch a cold."

Lin Lu entered the room and sighed lightly.

Outside the door, Lin Jingwen was still chattering, "Be serious when you work, don't be single-minded, be responsible for your work, and be responsible for yourself, this is hurting your legs, what if you hurt your face?" ”

"I know, I'll definitely pay attention to it in the future."

At night, Lin Lu leaned on the windowsill to smoke, and put a mobile phone next to her, counting the days, she and Jiang Sheng had not been in touch for more than two months, and it was about to be Christmas.

After the competition, Lin Lu heard Lu Cheng say that Jiang Sheng designed autumn models for a domestic brand, and she herself did this, and distraction had no intention of affecting the design effect of a designer. With his time as a student at school, he should be crazy busy, she understood, so she didn't take the initiative to look for him.

However, he won the grand prize, and Lin Lu did not congratulate him.

She clicked on Jiang Sheng's WeChat and sent him a belated congratulations.

At that time, Jiang Sheng was sitting on a plane to New York.

Lin Lu didn't wait for a reply, he put out the cigarette and spit out the last puff of smoke into the night.

She turned and lay on the bed, her eyes closed, the soft bed, she felt lonely and empty.

Unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning, Lin Lu pulled on the bedside lamp, the light was dim, and only the area in front of him was illuminated. She sat up, looked at the time, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Lin Jingwen slept lightly, she tiptoed to the design room, and after entering, she closed the door lightly.

Here, her whole person is different, full and free of distractions.

Sitting behind the painting table, Lin Lu looked at the painting on the opposite wall, which was the silhouette of her sitting alone under the grapevines in the courtyard when she went to Jincheng, and it was also an unexpected surprise that Jiang Sheng gave her.

Lin Lu took a piece of drawing paper in his hand, closed his eyes, thinking about Jiang Sheng's appearance, and opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of heavy emotion, and the pen outlined his outline lines on the paper.

When it was almost dawn, Lin Lu curled up in the sofa in the design room, covered with a blanket and fell asleep.

She dreamed of him, and the dream was beautiful.

……

After Lin Jingwen got up, he saw that the door of the next room was open, the quilt was opened, and the bed had no temperature.

Breakfast was simple, and after eating, she came to call Lin Lu, knocking on the door, "Little deer, get up and have breakfast." ”

“……”

No one answered, Lin Jingwen knocked again, "Eat breakfast and then go to bed." ”

Lin Lu opened his eyes and responded to the door, "It's here." ”

Lin Jingwen warmed the milk and put it on the table, the door of the design room opened, Lin Lu came out sleepy-eyed, and was just about to sit down at the dining table, but Lin Jingwen stopped and said, "Go wash your face and brush your teeth first." ”

She staggered to the bathroom, and when she came out again, she was more energetic.

Lin Lu picked up the sandwich and just took a bite, Lin Jingwen said, "It's Christmas soon, send me to church in a while, and then go to church to give some gifts to the children." ”

"Hmm."

After breakfast, Lin Lu changed into a coat and went to the door to get the car keys, and repeatedly confirmed that Lin Jingwen was in good health before going out.

Open the co-pilot's door, Lin Lu helped people to sit in, when the door was closed, the door of the house next door was closed, that was Lu Cheng's father's home, he was out exploring geology all the year round, the house was empty for a lot of time, Lu Cheng didn't come back often, he basically didn't live in the company, or lived in an apartment near the company.

At this time, Lu's father's house was empty.

Lin Jingwen looked at the closed door and said, "It's time to come back." ”
