Gu Ranzhou saw his son leave, then asked Lu Zhenchuan, "What happened?"
Lu Zhenchuan walked over and took the pot from his hand to clean it, and did not forget to answer his wife's question: "It's already being implemented, but Zhou Zhou, my vacation is almost over, I have to go back, and Dad's birthday party is coming soon."
Gu Ranzhou knew that the person in front of him had been accompanying him for quite some time. Given his current position, he couldn't leave for too long. Besides, everything was almost done, so it was time to go back. "Well, find someone you trust to make the arrangements. Don't let anything go wrong once we're gone."
"Okay." Lu Zhenchuan responded.
The two of them quickly cleaned up the mess. Since they were both experienced cooks, after deciding what to eat today, they brought the prepared food from the kitchen to the table and sat down to eat.
After the family of three finished their meal, Gu Yu'an took the initiative to wash the dishes. Gu Ranzhou and the others didn't say anything and just let him do it. Seeing that his son had taken on the task of washing the dishes, Lu Zhenchuan said to Gu Yu'an, "An'an, Zhouzhou and I are going for a walk to help digest our food. We'll be back in a while."
"Yeah." Gu Yu'an nodded in agreement and continued to focus on washing the dishes.
Seeing that Gu Ranzhou had no objection, Lu Zhenchuan took his men out. The two of them walked side by side on the path. There were no people around, and the only sound was the wind blowing through the leaves.
After walking for a while, the two found a quiet place and sat next to each other to chat.
Lu Zhenchuan carefully held the person in his arms and gently comforted him, "Are you feeling better, Zhou Zhou?"
Gu Ranzhou looked off into the distance, and after a long moment, he spoke: "Did you figure it out?"
"Um."
Gu Ranzhou buried his head in his arms, his voice trembling slightly: "My memory is starting to blur. If it weren't for those photos, I wouldn't be able to remember Dad's face."
Lu Zhenchuan's heart trembled when he heard this and he hugged the person tightly in his arms: "Zhou Zhou..."
Gu Ranzhou had been with him for so many years, how could he not know what this man was thinking? He comforted him, "Don't think too much, you are here and you can't run away. So many years have passed, and you are still the same." After saying that, he felt a little distressed.
"do not leave Me."
Gu Ranzhou kissed him on the cheek to comfort him: "Okay, it's been so many years, I let it go a long time ago, it's just that I think of it sometimes."
Hearing this, Lu Zhenchuan put his arm around Gu Ranzhou's waist, and said in a dull tone with a little more strength: "Yeah." In fact, Lu Zhenchuan had known for a long time that his wife had let go, and the only thing she was worried about was his deceased father-in-law. It's just... he was just afraid that one day his wife would suddenly disappear. He knew that Zhou Zhou was fully capable of doing this.
Gu Ranzhou leaned his head on Lu Zhenchuan's shoulder, feeling the familiar body temperature of the man, and then he felt a little relieved.
Lu Zhenchuan raised his hand and stroked his wife's soft black hair, and chuckled.
I don’t know how long it took, but when they opened their eyes, they found that the sun had set and the sunset glow dyed half the sky red.
Lu Zhenchuan stood up first. The moment he stood up, he felt his whole body numb, but he quickly regained feeling. He then said to Gu Ranzhou, "Zhouzhou, can I carry you back?"
"Yeah." Gu Ranzhou responded, then reached out to hold Lu Zhenchuan's shoulders.
Lu Zhenchuan squatted down, his back facing Gu Ranzhou: "Come up."
"Um."
Gu Ranzhou lay on Lu Zhenchuan's back, hugged Lu Zhenchuan's neck tightly with both hands, and buried his head in his neck.
Now he is living the life he always wanted in his previous life, and he has a lover and children by his side. What is there to be dissatisfied about!
Lu Zhenchuan carried Gu Ranzhou on his back as they walked steadily along the quiet country road towards home. Neither of them spoke, but each could guess what the other was thinking. Their shadows intertwined, like two tightly clasped swords, neither willing to let go even a little bit...
Gu Ranzhou lay on Lu Zhenchuan's back, gently stroking his broad back with his fingers. Listening to his steady heartbeat, Gu Ranzhou's lips curled up, and there was a hint of satisfaction and happiness in his smile.
