Chapter 150 Jing Jue’s Birthday 02+03 Public Relationship…
Chapter 16
Jing Jue drove Lu Changfeng to the booked restaurant, but no one else had arrived yet.
One was that the two of them left home early, and the other was that Jing Jue drove too fast, speeding at the edge of the speed limit all the way.
Lu Changfeng said: "When driving, you should pay more attention to safety and keep a safe distance, otherwise it is easy to rear-end."
Jing Jue said: "The people in Yancheng have no manners when driving. Once they have maintained a safe distance, they will desperately try to squeeze in and cut in."
"That's the truth." Lu Changfeng has been driving for so many years, and he is very careful when driving in Yancheng.
The traffic in Yancheng is really congested. If you are not careful while driving, it is easy to get into a scratch or a car accident.
Tingyuan was the first to arrive, and just like last time, he came alone.
"Happy birthday, Jing Jue." Ting Yuan handed the gift he bought to Jing Jue.
Jing Jue took it and said, "Thank you."
Lu Changfeng and Tingyuan were very close some time ago, and Jing Jue was more or less jealous. Later, when he found out that Tingyuan had an 18-year-old boyfriend who was young and handsome, he felt relieved.
When he and Lu Changfeng were on business trips, Tingyuan often helped them take care of Chunlai. Jing Jue had no hostility towards Tingyuan at all, and the two got along well and often played games together.
Tingyuan's boyfriend is an athlete and is very busy most of the time. When they are not on business trips, the three of them often eat together.
Not long after Tingyuan sat down and had not finished his cup of tea, Zhou Yu and his family of three arrived.
Zhou Yu’s child is called Zhou Miaomiao. She is a very cute little girl with big eyes and is chubby like a New Year picture doll.
Seeing that Lu Changfeng's hand was fixed, she asked: "Uncle Lu, what's wrong with your hand?"
Lu Changfeng liked this little girl very much. He picked her up and put her on his lap. "You were careless when walking. You didn't see the road clearly and fell down and broke your leg. Miaomiao, don't learn from your uncle's carelessness."
Miaomiao lowered her head and blew gently on the place where Lu Changfeng was wrapped up, "Miaomiao, blow on uncle, uncle, get better soon."
"Okay, thank you Miaomiao."
Zhou Yu's wife Liang Shuangqing handed the birthday present to Jing Jue, "Jing Jue, happy birthday. I hope everything goes well for you in the new year."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Liang Shuangqing smiled.
Yue Fanglin came over and saw that everyone had arrived. He said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm late."
"No, everyone just arrived." Tingyuan said.
Yue Fanglin handed the gift to Jing Jue: "Happy birthday! In this new year, I hope everything you want can come true and you can be happy every day."
Jing Jue said: "That must be happiness."
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Changfeng beside him.
Lu Changfeng didn't notice his gaze and was teasing Miaomiao.
Yue Fanglin clapped his hands: "Miao Miao, come and play with uncle."
Miaomiao slid down Lu Changfeng's legs slickly, ran to Yue Fanglin and opened his arms. Yue Fanglin bent down and lifted her up. "It seems that you have lost a little weight and are a little taller than during the Chinese New Year."
Liang Shuangqing said: "It's a little longer. The pants I bought before are a bit too small for her now. I took her to buy some new clothes and pants a few days ago."
"Children are like this, they grow up very fast. When I was in the army, I could only see my child once every six months or a year. Every time I went home, my child had grown a little bigger." Yue Fanglin sat down holding Miaomiao.
There are four people in their team, two bachelors, Yue Fanglin's youngest son is about to take the college entrance examination, his daughter is graduating from university this year, and they only have Miaomiao, a little girl.
Yue Fanglin asked: "Are we going to school in the second half of the year?"
Lu Changfeng remembered that Miaomiao was only three years old, and said, "Isn't it a little early to start school in the second half of the year?"
Liang Shuangqing replied, "Yes, she should be sent there. The teacher won't teach her knowledge at such a young age, she will just play. Let her play with other children of the same age more, which will be good for her physical and mental health."
"That's right." Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement.
Yue Fanglin: "Have you found a school?"
Liang Shuangqing said: "It's the kindergarten downstairs from my mother-in-law's house. It's our own kindergarten in the community. We don't want her to have too much pressure. I don't expect her to be very successful in the future. I just want her to be able to support herself."
"Your educational philosophy is great. It doesn't matter if the grades are good or bad, as long as the child is doing well."
Lu Changfeng handed the menu to Yue Fanglin: "Order."
Yue Fanglin handed it to Jing Jue and said, "The birthday boy is here. Whoever has a birthday can order the food."
Jing Jue took it and put it in front of Lu Changfeng: "Take some, we'll eat whatever you order."
Lu Changfeng smiled and said, "How come it's back in my hands again?"
"I'll order what I want. I'll order first, and then you guys take turns looking at the menu and add to the order for whatever you want."
Lu Changfeng ordered a few dishes that he had thought were good the last time he ate them. He also remembered that Tingyuan didn't like spicy food, so he added two lighter dishes. He added an egg custard for Miaomiao, put the menu on the table, and turned to Tingyuan: "I've ordered, you guys order the rest."
Tingyuan took a look and felt that there was nothing to add, so he continued to pass it on.
Yue Fanglin asked Jing Jue: "What do you want to do when you are 24 years old?"
Jing Jue thought for a moment and said, "Work hard, I hope we can catch the judge. I hope there will be fewer cases across the country. I hope everyone can be healthy."
"It seems that emotional issues are not within your consideration." Yue Fanglin clicked his tongue.
Tingyuan took over the conversation and said, "It's hard to say about love issues. You might be single one second and meet someone you like the next second."
Yue Fanglin is a relatively traditional person. He has lived in the hutong since he was a child. Getting married and having children are very important things for his generation.
Leaders within the system have the responsibility and obligation to care about the emotional lives of their subordinates.
No one will find these old-fashioned questions annoying.
After Zhou Yu and Liang Shuangqing finished reading the menu, they said, "This is enough for us to eat. If it's not enough, we can order more. If we can't finish it, it will be a waste. Earning money is not easy."
Yue Fanglin took it and looked at it and said, "Just ask the waiter to follow the menu."
An hour passed after the meal.
After clearing the table, the waiter brought up the cake and flowers that Lu Changfeng had prepared in advance.
Lu Changfeng originally wanted to make a cake for Jing Jue himself, but there was really not enough time, so he could only customize one.
The waiter pushed a cart filled with flowers, with a cake in the middle of the cart.
The pattern on the cake was negotiated between Lu Changfeng and the cake shop. It reads - Happy birthday, and peace every year.
The signature is two stick figure drawings.
Miaomiao was closest to the float and pointed at the figurines and said to Zhou Yu and Liang Shuangqing, "Mom and Dad, there are two figurines on this cake."
Everyone saw the two little men above.
The waiter put on a birthday hat, Lu Changfeng took it and put it on Jing Jue, then pushed Jing Jue to the cart.
The cake candles illuminate the surrounding roses. The bright red roses are still dripping, and the candlelight makes the water on the roses crystal clear and beautiful.
Lu Changfeng said: "I will make you a cake on your birthday next year."
"Okay." Jing Jue agreed immediately.
The waiter turned off the lights.
Lu Changfeng pushed Jing Jue and said, "Make a wish and blow out the candles."
Jing Jue closed his eyes and made a wish to the candle under the gaze of everyone.
No one knew what he wished for.
While Jing Jue closed his eyes and made a wish, Ting Yuan quietly came to Lu Changfeng at some point and handed something to Lu Changfeng.
Yue Fanglin and the others were standing on the other side. There was no light in the room, and most of the candlelight was blocked, so they couldn't see clearly what it was.
After Jing Jue blew out the candle, the waiter turned on the light.
Jing Jue turned around and looked at Lu Changfeng. When he turned his head, he saw Lu Changfeng looking at him with a box in his hand.
Inside the box were two rings.
Jing Jue: “!!”
Zhou Yu's family and Yue Fanglin were also shocked: ""
Is this a marriage proposal?
Yue Fanglin looked around and was confused.
These two people are having an office romance right under his nose? He actually had a vague guess in his mind, which he noticed from the way Jing Jue stuck to Lu Changfeng, but he was not sure.
But I never thought that the two of them would develop to this point right under my nose.
Zhou Yu was fine because he had already confirmed the previous situation between the two people.
The one who was more shocked was Liang Shuangqing. When they went out traveling together last time, she noticed something was wrong, but she didn't dare to confirm it, nor did she dare to ask Zhou Yu. After all, it would be embarrassing if such things were misunderstood.
Jing Jue was completely caught off guard. He thought Lu Changfeng would give him some gifts and celebrate his birthday for him, and that would be it.
Before, Lu Changfeng asked him if he wanted to make it public. He had a hunch that Lu Changfeng would do so, but not so soon. After all, the two of them had only been dating for a few days.
Now that these two rings have appeared, it is no longer just a matter of making them public.
It should be considered a proposal.
Jing Jue asked Lu Changfeng in disbelief: "Are you going to propose to me?"
Lu Changfeng said: "This is not a formal proposal. These two rings represent my attitude. I know you feel insecure with me and are worried that I might run away. Now I take out the rings in front of everyone to tell you that I am serious about being with you."
Having said that, there is nothing Yue Fanglin doesn't understand.
But he was still shocked. When did these two people get together? They were dating right under his nose and he didn't even know about it.
Lu Changfeng said: "Now that our relationship is public, everyone knows about it, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."
After all, between him and Jing Jue, Jing Jue loves him more.
Jing Jue asked Lu Changfeng: "Have you really thought it through? Don't you think it's too fast?"
Lu Changfeng nodded and said with certainty: "Adults can be responsible for their own decisions. Although we have not been in a relationship for long, we have known each other for more than ten years. I know what kind of person you are, and you know what kind of person I am. From the moment I agreed to be with you, I had already decided to be with you for the rest of my life. I have never thought of breaking up after just talking."
The two rings were exactly the same. Jing Jue picked up one of them at random and put it on his hand. He was a little surprised that the size was just right.
Then he took the one from Lu Changfeng and put it on Lu Changfeng, and it also fit perfectly.
The thickness of the two people's hands is similar, so Lu Changfeng chose according to the dimensions of his own fingers.
Tingyuan put away the empty box.
Lu Changfeng held Jing Jue's hand and apologized to Yue Fanglin and Zhou Yu: "I'm sorry for not informing you in advance."
Yue Fanglin came back to his senses from the shock and asked, "How long did it take?"
Lu Changfeng: "When I was in Huaiyang, Tian Jingjue fell ill, I was really scared. I felt that I couldn't go on like this. I couldn't lose him."
Yue Fanglin calculated and it was only a few days. When he thought about the fact that the two of them had just exchanged rings, he still felt surprised.
Lu Changfeng also knew that this was very sudden for everyone. There was really no time. Jing Jue's birthday could not be postponed. He couldn't think of a better way: "You are Jing Jue and I's best friends. Jing Jue and I have never thought of hiding it from you. I know that my behavior today is indeed very sudden, but I also hope that you can be a witness."
Zhou Yu immediately said, "Okay."
Liang Shuangqing also said: "No problem."
Tingyuan: "I am very willing to be a witness."
Yue Fanglin: "What do you need to witness?"
Lu Changfeng said solemnly: "I hope everyone can help me bear witness. After Jing Jue and I are together, I will treat him well. I promise him the rest of my life. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will not back down. I will always be with him and face everything he encounters together."
Jing Jue's eyes became moist as he watched Lu Changfeng say this.
Hui held Lu Changfeng's hand and pulled it to his lips and kissed it, "I believe you, and I hope everyone can bear witness to me that I will treat Changfeng well. No matter what happens, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Changfeng and face it together."
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue looked at each other and held their hands even tighter.
Zhou Yu took the lead in applauding. "Okay, okay, I will be the witness. I believe that both of you sincerely want to be together. I am willing to be your witness."
Lu Changfeng made a promise: "We will separate public and private affairs. No matter what happens in the future, it will not affect our work status."
"I believe you won't." Yue Fanglin was shocked, but as a friend, he still hoped that the two of them could be happy: "Since you two have decided to be together, and you have been so frank in telling us publicly and treating us as your best friends, then as your best friend I have to say a few words. I unconditionally support all your decisions, and I hope that you two can continue to be happy."
"Thank you." Lu Changfeng sincerely thanked everyone.
It was both an open relationship and coming out, but Lu Changfeng was actually quite nervous before doing this.
But once it's said out, it feels better.
Tingyuan said at the side: "I wish you happiness and longevity."
"Thank you, today is all thanks to you." Lu Changfeng thanked Tingyuan sincerely.
Without Tingyuan's help, nothing would have gone so smoothly today.
Tingyuan shook his head.
The clenched hands and the rapidly beating hearts both represent the excitement of the two people at that moment.
Jing Jue said, "Let's cut the cake. You bought such a big cake, it would be a waste if you don't eat a little."
Zhou Miaomiao had been coveting the cake for a long time. When she heard that she was going to cut the cake, she happily said yes.
Everyone was amused by her reaction.
Jing Jue said: "I'll give you a big piece of cake."
Zhou Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, okay."
After dividing the cake, we naturally sat down.
Yue Fanglin asked curiously: "Then when you said you had someone you liked, was it Changfeng?"
Jing Jue nodded and admitted it generously.
Yue Fanglin looked at Lu Changfeng: "Did you know at the time?"
"Yes." Lu Changfeng said truthfully: "I knew it a long time ago."
"How early is a long time ago?" Zhou Miaomiao asked curiously.
Everyone thought that Lu Changfeng would not answer the child's question, but he still answered: "Six years ago."
Except Miaomiao, everyone else was a little surprised.
"Jing Jue was only eighteen years old at that time."
Lu Changfeng had already explained the relationship between the two at the dinner on the day when Group Nine met.
Zhou Yu said: "Doesn't that mean Jing Jue has liked you for a long time?"
Jing Jue also frankly admitted: "Yes, I have liked Captain Lu for seven or eight years. I already liked him when I was still in high school, but I didn't dare to tell him at that time because I was afraid that he would think I was disgusting."
"Later, I confessed my feelings and was harshly rejected." Jing Jue still feels a little sad when talking about what happened back then.
He smiled and said, "It's all right now. Captain Lu is mine."
The others laughed along.
Everyone can understand why Lu Changfeng did not agree at that time. After all, the guardianship relationship was still ongoing, one party was still a minor, and it was the child he raised. If he was really tempted, it would be a capital crime. Ordinary people would find it difficult to accept such an ethical relationship, let alone Lu Changfeng, who is a policeman and has higher moral standards.
Lu Changfeng knew how difficult it had been for Jing Jue over the years.
Yue Fanglin asked: "Are you together now because you have moved to a new place and no one knows your past, so you are free from constraints?"
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "No." He didn't want to be misunderstood, so he further explained, "I didn't agree back then because I didn't have any improper thoughts about Jing Jue. The reason we've only been together since we reunited is because I slowly discovered how important he is to me, and my feelings have changed as a result, leading to the situation where we're together today."
Yue Fanglin expressed his understanding.
After the party, Jing Jue took the gifts everyone gave him and put them in the trunk.
Zhou Yu's family and Yue Fanglin drove away on their own.
Tingyuan lived upstairs from their house. Lu Changfeng asked Tingyuan, "How did you get here?"
Tingyuan said: "I drove here, don't worry about me, I'll drive back later."
"Thank you today. I will treat you to a meal alone some other day."
Tingyuan smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's not easy for us to say thank you."
Tingyuan didn’t have many friends in Yancheng. The reason he was familiar with Lu Changfeng was because they were both transferred from other places to work in Yancheng on the same day.
Later, we lived upstairs and downstairs, often ate together, and became more familiar with each other.
Lu Changfeng is a kind-hearted person without any ulterior motives. Tingyuan likes to get along with Lu Changfeng very much, and he feels very relaxed when getting along with Lu Changfeng.
"You still have to eat."
After Jing Jue drove over, Ting Yuan said, "You guys get in the car and go first."
Lu Changfeng: "Don't I need to wait for you? I'll wait for you and go back together."
Ting Yuan waved his hand: "No, no, I have to go to the supermarket to buy some things before I go back, you guys go first and don't worry about me."
Lu Changfeng stopped hesitating and walked towards the car. Jing Jue got out of the car, stood by the door, opened the passenger door and waited.
Lu Changfeng approached, and Jing Jue asked, "Are you done?"
Lu Changfeng hummed.
Jing Jue: "Does he need to go back with us?"
"Need not."
Jing Jue didn't hesitate any longer and returned to the driver's seat.
When Lu Changfeng was fastening his seat belt, he tried several times but couldn't find the right spot. Jing Jue reached out to help him secure it, and the distance between them was very close.
As the seat belt buckled, Jing Jue kissed her.
After the long kiss, Lu Changfeng felt a little short of breath.
Jing Jue took Lu Changfeng's hand and kissed the ring: "I'll take this as you proposing to me."
Lu Changfeng looked at the rings on their hands and said, "Okay, as long as you don't think it's too simple and unfair."
"I don't feel wronged. I will remember today's birthday for the rest of my life."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Do you like this birthday present today?"
Jing Jue nodded, "I like it very much."
Lu Changfeng officially gave him a status, so from now on he no longer had to hide his feelings and could express his love openly.
"Can this make you so happy?" Lu Changfeng looked at Jing Jue's worthless smile and suddenly realized that as long as he showed a little bit of love for Jing Jue, Jing Jue would be very happy.
Lu Changfeng handed the phone to Jing Jue.
He held Jing Jue's hand and said, "Let's take a picture."
Jing Jue obeyed and did as he was told. After the photoshoot, he asked Lu Changfeng, "Is this ok?"
Lu Changfeng took a look and nodded: "Okay."
Lu Changfeng then took back his phone, opened his Moments, put the phone on his lap and started typing, and @Jing Jue in his Moments.
The content of Lu Changfeng’s circle of friends is: [This is my first time being someone’s boyfriend. If I don’t do well, please give me some advice. @井玏]
The accompanying picture is the photo taken by Jing Jue just now.
Jing Jue opened his eyes wide and watched Lu Changfeng's action. He thought that the two of them had ended their public conversation in front of their friends today, but he didn't expect that Lu Changfeng would also post a copy in the circle of friends, facing everyone in the circle of friends.
People you have known in the past, classmates, friends, and colleagues can all see this circle of friends.
Jing Jue asked worriedly, "Will this have an impact on your promotion?"
Lu Changfeng said: "No, even if I did, it doesn't matter. I got to where I am today based on my own strength, not my relationship with the leaders."
"Is it really okay if everyone knows you're gay?" Jing Jue said, "If you just want to reassure me, you don't have to do this. It's not too late to delete it now since it was just posted and no one has seen it yet."
"Why do you want to delete it? You have nothing to be ashamed of. When I was with you, I didn't steal or rob anyone. I lived my life behind closed doors. I behaved uprightly."
Jing Jue was very moved when he heard Lu Changfeng say this, "I was just worried that it would affect you."
"Don't worry, I won't."
Lu Changfeng also sent a message in the group of the serious crime squad: "I am in love with Jing Jue, and everyone has met him before. When we return to Chuncheng, Jing Jue and I will treat everyone to a meal."
Lu Changfeng handed the phone to Jing Jue, "Just tell them what you want to say."
Jing Jue cleared his throat, looked at Lu Changfeng and pressed the voice button and said, "Please rest assured, I will definitely treat Captain Lu well. If I do anything to let him down, you can beat me up anytime."
Qiu Shaoyang was the first to reply in the group: [Jing Jue, remember what you said today. If you dare to do anything to let Lu Changfeng down, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. ]
Qiu Shaoyang sent a red envelope in the group: [To celebrate Comrade Lu Changfeng’s finding a partner, I’ll treat everyone to milk tea. ]
Lu Changfeng then sent a red envelope in the group: [Please have some milk tea, everyone. ]
Yang Meng: [Am I the only desperate straight man left in this group? ]
Qiu Shaoyang@Yang Meng: [ Find one quickly, otherwise when Jia Jia’s children are in love, you will still be single. ]
Chen Yanjia: [Consultant Qiu, my baby is only six months old, it’s too early for him to fall in love. ]
[Come on, Brother Meng! ]After Bo Jiyang finished speaking, he added: [Congratulations to Captain Lu for finding out he is still single! ! ! ]
Jing Jue looked at the continuous blessings from the group and said, "I will also post a circle of friends to tell my friends that I am no longer single."
He asked Lu Changfeng, "Do you mind showing your face?"
Lu Changfeng: "Of course I don't mind."
So Jing Jue posted a photo of them watching the fireworks, [From now on, I am not alone anymore. ]
He said to Lu Changfeng: "When the time comes, you will come back with me to visit my parents' graves and let them meet their daughter-in-law."
Lu Changfeng: "When you were away, I swept their graves many times. They had already seen it."
"That's different. The past was the past, and this is now. Now you have a new identity. You are my boyfriend."
Just saying this out loud makes Jing Jue very happy.
Lu Changfeng nodded: "Yes, it's different now, I'm your boyfriend."
After two years when everyone is no longer busy, Lu Changfeng thought that he could pick a time to hold a wedding with Jing Jue. Although they would not have a marriage certificate, they could invite relatives and friends to come over and be witnesses.
"I want to redecorate the house in Chuncheng. What kind do you like?" Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue.
Jing Jue was a little confused by this span: "Ah? Isn't the house in Chuncheng pretty good? Why does it need to be renovated?"
Lu Changfeng said: "Redecorate it and use it as a wedding room."
Wedding room...
Jing Jue couldn't listen to anything else, his mind was full of thoughts about the wedding house.
Wedding room.
Lu Changfeng wants to marry him! They had only been dating for a dozen days, and Lu Changfeng not only made their relationship public, but also wanted to marry him.
Jing Jue feels that he is the happiest person in the world now.
"I have only one request."
"explain."
Jing Jue: "I don't want to sleep in a separate room. I want to sleep with you."
Lu Changfeng chuckled. He could see that Jing Jue was obsessed with sleeping in the same bed.
He nodded in agreement: "Okay, the wall between us is not a load-bearing wall, so you can break it down. When the time comes, we can make a two-meter bed for you and you can move around as you please."
"I don't have any other requirements. I just want to sleep with you."
"It's my duty." Lu Changfeng said.
Since he is not in Chuncheng, he has to ask Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang to help supervise the renovation. In the short term, Lu Changfeng has no plans to return to Chuncheng. He likes his current job. When he gets older, Lu Changfeng still hopes that he can return to Chuncheng, where his friends are all.
The climate in Chuncheng is very good and it is very suitable for living.
Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue: "What about you? What are your plans? Do you want to stay in Yancheng or return to Chuncheng?"
"I have no one at home. You are my only family. Naturally, I will be wherever you are."
Lu Changfeng felt relieved when he said that.
Jing Jue asked: "You want to marry me by decorating it as a wedding room?"
Lu Changfeng asked Jing Jue: "Don't you want to?"
"Of course I do. I think about it even in my dreams."
Jing Jue asked this just to make sure and to hear a definite answer from Lu Changfeng.
Who says a forced melon isn’t sweet? This is quite sweet.
