Chapter 6 Pilot Volume 06 You Promised Me
Chapter 6
"Jing Jue." Lu Changfeng called him.
Jing Jue looked at him, waiting for his next words.
Lu Changfeng took a sip of coffee and sorted out his thoughts before continuing their conversation: "Jing Jue, I have no way to respond to your love."
There were many reasons why he couldn't return the affection.
Jing Jue asked, "Do you dislike men, or are you afraid that others will gossip about you and me?"
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "Neither, I don't care what others think of me, I just simply don't like you, you have lived with me since you were eleven years old, I watched you grow from a child to taller than me, I watched you grow up, it is difficult for me to have any other feelings for you, in my heart I treat you as a family member, I can even say that you are half a son."
"Stop talking--" Jing Jue was a little anxious. He didn't want to hear Lu Changfeng say such things.
Because those were facts he could not deny.
Lu Changfeng is an upright and kind person. Because of his kindness, he supports me and becomes my guardian.
Lu Changfeng paused for a moment and continued, "Jiejie, I am not talking to you today to get a conclusion about your liking for me, but to talk to you about business. Since you have come to the Serious Crime Unit 9 and become my subordinate, I hope you can remember your responsibilities as a police officer, instead of putting me first, and never let your feelings for me affect your work as a police officer."
"No matter why you came to Group 9, since you are here, then work hard and study hard to be a good police officer. I will teach you all my skills. I want to see a hardworking, motivated and work-loving police officer, Jing Jue, not a Jing Jue who chases me and says he likes me and uses work as a means to get close to me."
Jing Jue nodded seriously: "I know. I won't be perfunctory about my work because of my feelings for you. I do become a police officer for your reasons. I want to be someone like you, but I do it more because I love this profession."
Lu Changfeng was very satisfied with Jing Jue's answer. "Jing Jue, I hope you can grow up to be a good criminal policeman who can stand on your own. I will teach you everything I know."
"I won't let you down." Jing Jue promised Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng nodded gently and glanced at the time. It was almost ten o'clock. He said, "Then go home and see you at the bureau tomorrow. Also, I won't hold you responsible for what happened in the bathroom today, and I don't want it to happen again."
"No more." Jing Jue lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Then he looked up again: "You won't hate me for this, right?"
Lu Changfeng looked at him, nodded after a long silence, and reached out to touch his head: "In my heart, you will always be the child I watched grow up. I will not hate you, but I have no way to respond to your feelings."
"If I were just the Jing Jue who grew up with you, could I come back to you?" Jing Jue asked Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "Jing Jue, you can't do it, you know it."
"But I want to come back to you. I want to live with you and go to get off work with you every day..." Jing Jue grabbed the corner of Lu Changfeng's clothes, just like when he chose Lu Changfeng as his guardian, and looked at Lu Changfeng with pitiful eyes, "Uncle Lu, let me come back to you. I promise not to do anything out of line with you."
Lu Changfeng had never been able to refuse Jing Jue's weakness and coquettishness before, and Jing Jue was always able to control him by both soft and hard means.
But he couldn't back down this time. Lu Changfeng rejected Jing Jue's request, "Jing Jue, it would be more appropriate for us to keep a distance."
As expected, Jing Jue felt very uncomfortable, but Lu Changfeng did not drive him away. At least he could stay by Lu Changfeng's side and watch him. "Then I'll take you back, okay?"
Lu Changfeng still shook his head: "I don't need you to send me home, I can go home by myself."
He called a taxi for Jing Jue. The driver called. Lu Changfeng opened the door and said to him, "Get in the car. When you get back, send a message in the group to let me know."
Jing Jue asked, "What about you?"
"I'll take another taxi." Lu Changfeng watched him get into the car, closed the door, and said to the driver, "Drive slowly on the road."
After closing the car door and watching the driver drive away with Jing Jue, Lu Changfeng called another car for himself.
Jing Jue started crying as soon as he got in the car. The driver handed him a tissue and said, "You are still so young. There is nothing you can't overcome."
Whenever Jing Jue thought of Lu Changfeng, he could hardly hold back his tears.
He just likes Lu Changfeng, and there is nothing he can do about it, he can't change it.
Lu Changfeng was almost home when his cell phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was Jing Jue who sent him a verification request.
Lu Changfeng accepted Jing Jue’s friend request.
Soon, Jing Jue’s message came: [Uncle Lu, you don’t want me anymore, right? ]
Lu Changfeng didn't know how to respond. During the years when Jing Jue disappeared, he thought that if he could see Jing Jue again, it would be fine even if it was in line with Jing Jue's wishes. As long as Jing Jue was happy and safe, that would be fine.
But when it comes to seeing Jing Jue again, Lu Changfeng still can't do it. He doesn't like Jing Jue the way Jing Jue wants. Jing Jue is very important to him, and he doesn't want to lose Jing Jue. But Jing Jue is still very young and has many choices. What stands between them is not only status, but also age.
He was twelve years older than Jing Jue. He didn't know how long he could maintain an intimate relationship with Jing Jue if he agreed to it and didn't like Jing Jue that much. If the moment came when they couldn't stand each other anymore, what would happen between them.
The family ties between him and Jing Jue are more important. If one day Jing Jue no longer likes him, this family ties cannot force them together.
When he opened the door, Lu Changfeng smelled the smell of barbecue.
"You're back." Qiu Shaoyang looked over and said, "How was your work today?"
Lu Changfeng nodded, but he wasn't in a very good mood.
Qiu Shaoyang knew him very well, so he asked him to sit down and said, "Come and have something to eat with us."
“I just finished eating hot pot.”
Qiu Shaoyang: "Jing Jue didn't come back with you?"
Lu Changfeng told Qiu Shaoyang and Mingtang during the day that he met Jing Jue.
"No, I think it's better to keep a distance."
Qiu Shaoyang was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you were willing to be with him at the beginning? Why did you change your mind now?"
Lu Changfeng remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
Qiu Shaoyang shook his head helplessly and tried to persuade Lu Changfeng, "I don't think you need to make yourself so twisted. Life is only a few decades long, so enjoy it while you can. You are not counting on Jing Jue to take care of you in your old age. Even if you two can't go on in the future, you still have me and Ming Tang, and we won't ignore you."
Lu Changfeng held his head up, and did not change his mind because of Qiu Shaoyang's words, "My story with Jing Jue is different from your story with Ming Tang. You two fell in love with each other and decided that you were the one to spend your life with. I don't like Jing Jue the same way you like Ming Tang."
"You don't hate homosexuality. Although you are not born to like men, you can accept living with a man. You can't let go of Jing Jue, and he likes you. He wants to date you, and you want to live with him. At least you have a common goal."
"But what if he doesn't like me anymore one day?" Lu Changfeng asked Qiu Shaoyang.
Qiu Shaoyang said: "Love to the end depends entirely on conscience. Mingtang and I dare not say that we can love each other forever. There will inevitably be some minor frictions in life. It is common to have quarrels and arguments. Even married people get divorced. It is normal to no longer love. No one can love you for free for a lifetime except you."
Lu Changfeng blinked and thought carefully about what Qiu Shaoyang said. Qiu Shaoyang was right.
Qiu Shaoyang smiled and said to Lu Changfeng: "In fact, my first impression of Mingtang was also very bad. I hated him. I thought he was really good at pretending. He was full of arrogance and his face was stinker than mine. But you see, we love him to death now."
Lu Changfeng was amused, "You're not afraid that I'll complain to Mingtang."
"It's not like he doesn't know that." Qiu Shaoyang said indifferently, "His first impression of me wasn't that good either."
Seeing that Lu Changfeng was still very conflicted, Qiu Shaoyang gave him some advice: "Anyway, he is now your colleague, and you have plenty of time to get along with him. If he still likes you after a while, you might as well give him a chance. If he gradually gives up over time and returns to his rightful position, you won't suffer any loss."
"Anyway, the window paper between you two has been broken. The worst that can happen is that you will never have anything to do with each other again."
Lu Changfeng sneered.
The phone rang again. Lu Changfeng looked again and saw that it was Jing Jue asking him if he had arrived home.
Lu Changfeng replied: [We’re here. ]
Then he sent a message to the other two people in the group.
It was getting late, so he got up and said to Qiu Shaoyang, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm going to take a shower. What time do you want to go to bed?"
Qiu Shaoyang said while eating a skewers: "I will go to bed after watching this movie. I have an appointment with my friends to go play nearby tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."
Jing Jue felt uneasy when he saw the message on his phone that Lu Changfeng had not responded to him.
Lu Changfeng came out of the shower and saw another new message on his phone.
Jing Jue: [Good night]
Lu Changfeng replied: [Good night]
Lying on the bed, Lu Changfeng kept thinking about what Qiu Shaoyang and Jing Jue said today. In the end, he felt that Qiu Shaoyang was right. If Jing Jue didn't like him anymore, they would naturally return to their rightful positions. Or if he still liked him, then maybe he could give him a chance.
Two people are not necessarily together because of love, they may be together because of love. The definition of love is very broad.
Lu Changfeng didn't know when he fell asleep. He was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.
Jing Jue sent him another message: [Good morning. ]
Lu Changfeng replied to him: [Good morning. ]
It was as if the person on the other end was waiting for his message, and asked: "What do you want for breakfast? I'll bring it to you." ]
Lu Changfeng took his phone into the bathroom and replied: [No need, I have one downstairs. ]
Jing Jue: [Then bring it to me. Soy milk, fried dough sticks, buns, anything is fine. I’ll eat whatever you give me. ]
Lu Changfeng thought about it and agreed.
There's nothing wrong with colleagues bringing breakfast to each other, it's just a casual thing.
He sent a message in the group: [Have you all had breakfast? Do you want me to bring it to you? ]
Yue Fanglin: [I’m eating wontons downstairs. ]
Zhou Yu: [It’s ready at home, no need to bring it for me. @Lu Changfeng]
Jing Jue: [I want it. There is no breakfast shop downstairs from my building. I have to walk a long way to buy breakfast. ]
Lu Changfeng: [Okay. ]
Jing Jue likes to eat sauerkraut buns, so Lu Changfeng bought him four sauerkraut buns at the bun shop. He bought a shredded potato roll, took two cups of soy milk, and walked towards the police station.
I happened to meet Jing Jue getting off the bus.
Jing Jue quickly ran to Lu Changfeng's side.
Lu Changfeng handed him the buns and soy milk: "I've never tried the ones with pickled cabbage filling, so I don't know how they taste. There's only this bun shop downstairs."
"It's okay. It's good to have something to eat." He asked Lu Changfeng: "Where do you live?"
Lu Changfeng didn't say anything, so Jing Jue didn't ask any more questions.
After taking a bite of the bun, he smiled and said, "It's delicious. Will you buy me breakfast from now on?"
Lu Changfeng responded casually and walked into the bureau.
Jing Jue followed Lu Changfeng, eating a bun and said, "I want to eat the meat sauce rice noodles you made for me before."
Lu Changfeng: "You can do it yourself."
"Your cooking is the most delicious." Jing Jue said coquettishly, "Can you make it for me again? Make it on the weekend. I haven't had it in years."
"I will take you to play around Yancheng then. We agreed before that you would take me to watch the flag-raising ceremony. In the past, when I missed you very much, I would watch the flag-raising ceremony by myself."
"Come with me once, you promised me."
"You won't break your promise, will you?"
