Chapter 221 End (Two in One) "Hurry up,...
It just so happened that Tian Ruan had a day off the next day, so he could play with Lu Qiuyan all day long.
After getting up early in the morning, brushing teeth and washing face, Tian Ruan didn’t even have time to apply perfume. She couldn’t wait to send a WeChat message: Lu Qiuyan, are you up yet?
Ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute passed, and there was no response.
Tian Ruan knew that Lu Qiuyan was still sleeping, so he went downstairs to eat first, "Good morning, Mr. Yu."
Yu Jingmo raised her eyes slightly and put down the morning paper, "Good morning, Madam."
Tian Ruan suddenly felt something was odd... too polite. Just like when they first got married. Tian Ruan had a flash of inspiration and quickly picked up his phone to check the date. It was 2030, which was good. He had not traveled back to 2024.
Tian Ruan looked at Yu Jingmo again, but saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised and he was looking at him leisurely. Tian Ruan glanced over the matter calmly and went to the restaurant to eat. Even after breakfast was served, Yu Shang did not show up.
"Where is Yu Shang?" Tian Ruan asked in surprise. You know, after his eldest son gradually came to power, he became as self-disciplined as a robot, and it was extremely rare for him to be late or leave early.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Young Master helped Young Master Lu clean up the room last night. He came back a little late and is still sleeping now."
Tian Ruan: “…”
What room can be cleaned until the early hours of the morning? The protagonists are either pouring out their heart to each other, or something unspeakable happens to them.
"Is it so intense right from the start?" Tian Ruan praised Hao Da'er in his heart, "As expected of the protagonist, his offensive power is really strong after he becomes an adult."
Yu Jingmo smiled faintly: "When you are very hungry, you will naturally pounce on food like a hungry wolf."
Tian Ruan thought it was unlikely, "Yu Shang is such a restrained person, he wouldn't do that."
Yu Jingmo remained silent. He knew his son well. No matter how much he tried to control himself, there would always be times when he couldn't control himself. Thinking back to the time when he and Tian Ruan had unexpected physical contact, he thought it was just an accident and he didn't have any extra thoughts about it. Unexpectedly, he would become more and more emotional and sometimes found it difficult to control himself.
If he and Tian Ruan were separated for five years, they would pounce on each other like hungry wolves when they met again.
After dinner, Yu Jingmo was going to work. Before leaving, he kissed Tian Ruan on the forehead as usual, stuffed a black card into his hand, and said, "Have fun."
Tian Ruan looked at the gold-plated font on the black card and said, "I have money."
"But you are reluctant to spend it." Yu Jingmo said, "I feel bad for you when you are reluctant to spend it."
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Jingmo laughed: "If you don't want to hear those cheesy words, just spend your money happily. I told you, I have a lot of money, you can spend it boldly."
Tian Ruan nodded.
"When you get there, remember to send me your location."
"Okay." Tian Ruan reluctantly saw Yu Jingmo out of the manor gate and waved to the Maybach. He looked just like when Yu Jingmo sent him to school in high school.
Yu Jingmo looked back in the rearview mirror, his brows and eyes were extremely gentle.
The driver smiled and said, "Madam is still the same as before."
Yu Jingmo: “Yeah.”
Watching the car disappear from sight, Tian Ruan returned to the cloakroom, changed into the clothes he had worn before, and put on the ripped denim jacket - this piece of clothing had also been through many twists and turns, and had to be thrown away many times, and each time Tian Ruan had to rescue it with great effort.
Changing a closet of clothes every quarter, this bad habit of the rich finally changed to only changing clothes once a year due to Tian Ruan's persistence. Some clothes that you particularly like can be kept forever.
Tian Ruan's feelings for this pair of ripped jeans are as irreplaceable as Deyin's schoolbag.
He checked his phone and sent another message to Lu Qiuyan: I’m here/Hehe
Regardless of whether Yu Shang got up or not, Tian Ruan went to play with Lu Qiuyan first.
He pushed a mountain bike out of the underground garage, put on his backpack, and rode to the Jinyumantang villa area in a simple manner.
Tian Ruan was also a familiar face in this neighborhood. The guard took a look and said with a smile, "Are you here to see your mother again?"
"It's cold now. My mother went abroad." Tian Ruan chatted, "I came to see my friend. He just moved here."
The villas in Jin Yumantang are of different types. The one where Lu Qiuyan lives is particularly small and exquisite, just right for a family of three. Tian Ruang just rode to the narrow gate that was one meter high and rang the doorbell.
The small yard is full of flowers, mostly Asteraceae, which are blooming just right in this autumn.
Ding-ling-ding-ling-Tian Ruan pressed it twice again.
Soon, the door to the villa opened. Lu Qiuyan pulled her messy hair with one hand and came to open the door in her pajamas and slippers. "Damn, what are you doing so early?"
Tian Ruan pushed the bike in and leaned it against the wall, saying, "Please pack up and have a meal, then we'll go ride around the river. We can go to 'Riverside Family' to eat crayfish at noon."
Jiangbian Renjia is a farmhouse. Tian Ruan and Yu Jingmo discovered it by chance while on a cruise. They had a few meals there and the food was quite good. It's just a little far from the manor. It takes half an hour to drive there, and a little longer to ride there.
Lu Qiuyan looked at the knee pads and wrist guards on Tian Ruan's legs, as well as the cycling cap on his head, "Are you learning to ride a bike now?"
"Exercise occasionally." Tian Ruan said, "Mr. Yu said cycling is an aerobic exercise and is good for the body."
He took out a pair of cycling pants from his schoolbag and said, "Here you go, otherwise it will hurt after riding for too long."
Lu Qiuyan refused, "I'm used to it. No need."
"Okay, actually, this is what I prepared for myself. If it hurts, I'll change it halfway."
“……”Lu Qiuyan gave a thumbs up.
Speaking of this, Tian Ruan has an embarrassing story.
When he first learned to ride a bike, even though Tian Ruan had a lot of flesh on his butt, he couldn't withstand the friction of the narrow seat and started to feel pain in less than two days. He was too embarrassed to say it, so he secretly applied the ointment on himself after taking a shower.
As a result, Yu Jingmo discovered it when the couple was exercising.
Yu Jingmo carefully checked and found the "evidence". His face darkened: "What happened? Who gave you the tiger bench to sit on?"
Tian Ruan's face flushed, "No... the bicycle seat is too narrow, it pinches my butt."
Yu Jingmo: "...If that's the case, why do you continue riding?"
Tian Ruan said confidently: "I have conquered the Rolls-Royce, how can I be defeated by a small mountain bike?"
This stubborn temper made Yu Jingmo laugh. He asked, "Are you wearing cycling pants?"
"?" It was then that Tian Ruan realized that beginners of cycling need to wear special pants so as not to pinch their buttocks and rub their testicles.
Later, with all the protective gear, Tian Ruan got used to it, and it was common for him to ride two or three times a week.
It is worth mentioning that since riding, Tian Ruan's leg strength has been exercised. Every time when the couple has sex, he will not feel tired when hanging on Yu Jingmo's waist for more than an hour...
So Yu Jingmo tried harder.
"Why is your dad blushing?" Lu Qiuyan looked at Tian Ruan speechlessly.
Tian Ruan suddenly came back to his senses, coughed dryly and said, "Nothing, I'm just a little excited to think that the three of us brothers can get together again."
Lu Qiuyan didn't comment and went upstairs to brush his teeth, wash his face and change his clothes. "You sit downstairs, I'll be down soon."
"oh."
Tian Ruan walked around downstairs. The villa was indeed small, with a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a study room downstairs. I think there are only four or five rooms upstairs, which is more than enough to raise a cat or a dog.
In the original book, the main characters lived in a large duplex with high-end decoration. They had a dog and a cat, which made the place quite cozy.
Tian Ruan thought that it would be better to live in the manor. Not only was the scenery pleasant, but it was also convenient for people to come and go and serve. More importantly, Tian Ruan likes the feeling of living together in a lively and lively environment.
This is what a family is.
In the original book, the relationship between Yu Shang and Yu Jingmo was very weak, and Lu Qiuyan had no sense of fitting in to this family at all. If they rashly lived with Yu Jingmo, it would only be awkward.
Things are different now. Tian Ruan, the rich young father, is not dead, and Yu Jingmo is much more tolerant and kind to the main characters that was not shown in the original book. They can become a real family.
"Let's go." Lu Qiuyan's faint voice came.
Tian Ruan turned around and saw that Lu Qiuyan was also wearing the ripped denim jacket. She was surprised and asked, "You didn't lose it either?"
"You can still wear it." Lu Qiuyan felt a little awkward, "Will others think we are a couple?"
“……”It’s really possible.
In order to avoid being misunderstood, Tian Ruan tied up the hem of her denim jacket, which made the style look more fashionable. Lu Qiuyan opened his coat, put on a baseball cap, took out a spare key from the chest of drawers and threw it to Tian Ruan.
"You don't need to knock next time you come." Lu Qiuyan said.
Tian Ruan happily put the key into his keychain.
The two rode their bikes to the foot of the mountain and went to a breakfast shop first. Lu Qiuyan ate some buns and drank soy milk, then started riding with Tian Ruan. Facing the cool autumn breeze, the two rode to the riverside and followed the green cycling lane along the river.
One after another, other cyclists flew past, and Tian Ruan was greatly encouraged and pedaled his bicycle quickly.
"...Tian Ruan, slow down!" Lu Qiuyan shouted.
Tian Ruan: "I'm in front, waiting for you!" He accidentally took a breath of air and then pedaled faster.
Three minutes later, Lu Qiuyan caught up with Tian Ruan, who was exhausted. His legs were like soft noodles, hanging weakly on the pedals and circling mechanically.
Lu Qiuyan was not surprised by this and said, "You are not a professional athlete. Once you break your rhythm, everything will be messed up. Come down and take a walk."
Tian Ruan was so tired that he had to get out and push the cart. Then he saw a black Bentley driving slowly in the right lane, with the rear window lowered, revealing a dignified and indifferent face.
Yu Shang looked at the two of them in confusion. It was a nice weekend, but they had to make it so tiring.
Tian Ruan was so angry that he said, "...Yu Shang, get down here."
Yu Shang said calmly, "I'll go to Jiangshangrenjia to wait for you."
Lu Qiuyan: “Oh.”
Yu Shang's gaze fell on his face, and the rosy glow poured down, and the pair of dark pupils also glowed. After a moment, the Bentley drove forward, and he was still looking at the two young men in the rearview mirror - he often looked like this a long time ago.
At that time, his car always went to school earlier than his father's car. One in front and one behind, he always saw Tian Ruan stopped about ten minutes' walk away from Deyin.
As they were walking, Lu Qiuyan's 28-inch bicycle caught up with them like the wind, and they were talking and laughing with Tian Ruan.
Yu Shang wanted to do that countless times, walk to Deyin, and then Lu Qiuyan would stop for him, talk to him, and joke with him. Or it's also good to say nothing.
But he never did so once.
Because of his face and the illusory self-esteem in his youth, he would not allow himself to make the slightest mistake.
But when he met Lu Qiuyan, she was the one who broke away from all the norms in his orderly life. Lu Qiuyan can't do ordinary things, and he is not an ordinary person. He is like a kite, flying in the sky, but the string is not in Yu Shang's hands.
Yu Shang watched the kite rise into the wind and fall with the wind, and he suddenly wanted to chase it.
He walked into Lu Qiuyan's life.
Lu Qiuyan’s life is a wilderness. Above this wilderness, he looks up to see the starry sky, but it is pitch black all around. He can only grope forward. Ahead may be the world of mortals, or the abyss of despair.
Yu Shang thought again, he couldn't stop on the road to talk to Lu Qiuyan, so he would walk in front of Lu Qiuyan and see what was ahead for him.
Whether it is the mortal world or the abyss, he is willing to step into it.
If it was the mortal world, he would be willing to roll in it with Lu Qiuyan; if it was the abyss, he would catch Lu Qiuyan from below and prevent him from falling.
There are 365 days in a year, and it was only after knowing Lu Qiuyan for 731 days that Yu Shang suddenly realized that he had stepped into the mortal world and the abyss.
It turns out that he likes Lu Qiuyan so much.
The river breeze blew on his face. Yu Shang closed his eyes and felt the wind carefully.
He would still walk in front of Lu Qiuyan and look at the scenery along the way for him. The scenery was the same as when he was young.
The whistling wind brought back an inexplicable warmth, lifting Lu Qiuyan's hair. He looked up at the Bentley gradually disappearing, but felt inexplicably at ease because he knew that Yu Shang was waiting for him up ahead.
Lu Qiuyan stepped into the car with his long legs and said to Tian Ruan, "Hurry up, don't be late for school."
After the words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Then they both burst into laughter.
"Lu Qiuyan, we have never been late for school before." Tian Ruan said, "This time is no exception."
It was not them who were late, but Wang Weiqi, Xi Qin and Xie Tangyan.
"Damn it, my father's two million sports car was scratched by a blind male driver. I was too lazy to argue and just took two thousand yuan. He even cursed at me. Did I cheat him? The paint job will cost at least twenty thousand!" Wang Weiqi complained angrily.
Tian Ruan said: "We should call the police and wait for them to come."
Wang Weiqi: "Forget it, eating crayfish is more important. Road Bully! Oppa~!" He pretended to pounce on Lu Qiuyan and give her a big hug.
Lu Qiuyan looked disgusted, flexed his fingers, and said with a click, "I don't want to hit anyone as soon as we meet, so restrain yourself a little."
Wang Weiqi opened his arms like a broken-winged angel falling, and said sadly: "After all these years, don't you miss me at all?"
"Every time I think of you, I always think you are a dog." Lu Qiuyan said, "If I hadn't seen you in person, I might have been confused."
Wang Weiqi: "…Although I liked to imitate dog barking in high school, I am not a real dog! It is!"
Husky: "Woof woof woof!"
Lu Qiuyan didn't want to hug Wang Weiqi, but she was very tolerant of real dogs, so she grabbed the dog's head twice and said to the Husky, "Good dog, paws."
The Husky obediently stretched out its front paws.
Lu Qiuyan praised: "You have the potential to be a police dog. Lie down."
The Husky lay down, wagging its tail and licking Lu Qiuyan's fingers flatteringly. Lu Qiuyan gave it a plate of white-cut chicken and said, "Eat it."
Wang Weiqi was jealous again: "Normally Xiaoha is not so obedient to me."
Husky: "Woof woof woof!" He brought a piece of boiled chicken to his owner.
Wang Weiqi was deeply moved. He hugged the Husky and said, "Little Husky, I was wrong about you. You are the best dog! Woof woof!"
Tian Ruan looked at the big and small Wangs and said, "Wang Weiqi, you are very happy like this."
"Are you happy with a dog?" A calm and yet charming female voice came, and Xie Tangyan, wearing an exquisite dress, walked in. She had a simple shark clip on her head, a bag in her hand, and light makeup on.
When she was in high school, Xie Tangyan was already a school beauty, but she was outshined by Nan Mengyao, and Xie Tangyan had a cheerful personality, so people overlooked her beauty.
Now, five years have passed, and Xie Tangyan has taken over the family business. Her image and temperament have become much more stable, and she has become more capable and beautiful.
Next to her is Xi Qin, a typical top student and a domineering CEO when he grows up. Standing together with Xie Tangyan, they are a perfect match. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and smiled whenever he saw people: "I didn't expect that after all these years, you haven't changed at all."
Yu Shang said, "You haven't changed either."
Xie Tangyan laughed and sat next to Tian Ruan, "I heard that you passed the postgraduate entrance examination, congratulations."
Tian Ruan said: "I heard that you defeated your two brothers and became the legitimate heir of the Xie family. Congratulations."
The two complimented each other, and Xie Tangyan said, "I have to thank Xiqin for this. If he hadn't proposed the marriage and raised the stakes, I might not have won."
"Marriage?" Tian Ruan looked back and forth between the two of them, with a big smile on his face, "Marriage is good."
Don’t be too easy on the idea of getting married first and falling in love later.
Moreover, Xi Qin had been interested in Xie Tangyan since high school. Others couldn't see it, but Tian Ruan saw it clearly. They were childhood sweethearts, bickering enemies, and now there was an arranged marriage. It was hard not to think that they were a perfect match.
Xi Qin just smiled at this. Marriage was just a means. Whether he could really keep the person depended on himself.
Wang Weiqi suddenly said, "Xie Tangyan, why didn't you come to me for marriage?"
Xie Tangyan: “…”
Xi Qin asked casually, "How much is your family property?"
Wang Weiqi understood that they thought he was "poor". After being so arrogant for so many years, he almost forgot that he was a nouveau riche. "I was just joking, don't take it seriously, haha."
Tian Ruan: "Wangwang's brain is always a little clumsy, please bear with me."
Wang Weiqi's body trembled suddenly: "It smells so good, are our crayfish not ready yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought over a large pot of lobsters. The hot and spicy aroma wafted out, making everyone's head clear. "There are two more pots for your table. They will be ready soon."
Wang Weiqi couldn't wait to grab it with his hands, but Tian Ruan hit him with a chopstick and said, "Wear gloves."
When all the crayfish were served, Lu Qiuyan opened several cans of beer and distributed them to everyone. He raised the can and said, "It's my fault that I haven't contacted you all in the past few years. I'll drink first to show my respect."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank beer, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and a rhythmic gurgling sound coming from his throat. The foam that he hadn't swallowed in time overflowed from the corners of his lips. He had no time to wipe it off and let it slide down his snow-white neck.
Lu Qiuyan drank it all in one breath without even breathing.
Tian Ruan was stunned, Wang Weiqi said "good" and started drinking it.
Lu Qiuyan wiped his mouth, but saw Yu Shang raised his hand to wipe his neck, and his ears suddenly turned red. "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Xi Qin drank his beer slowly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Congratulations, President, on the upcoming wedding."
Yu Shang did not comment.
Lu Qiuyan: “…”
Tian Ruan asked: "Vice President, what do you mean by this?"
He didn't even know that the protagonists were about to get good things done, so how could Xiqin know?
Xi Qin politely peeled a shrimp for Xie Tangyan and said, "When the president was a student, he would not take the initiative to pick up and return the money to someone who dropped 10,000 yuan in front of him. But Lu Qiuyan is someone who can reject a girl's confession in public without blinking."
One is a piece of wood, the other is a stubborn person.
The wood is blooming, and the stubborn one does not refuse the flowers of the wood falling on itself, which is very ambiguous in itself.
Tian Ruan looked at Yu Shang and Lu Qiuyan with a smile, "Something really happened to you last night."
"Last night? What last night?" Xie Tangyan asked with shining eyes, "President, were you attacked?"
Yu Shang: "...If you don't want to eat crayfish, you can go out and drink the northwest wind."
Lu Qiuyan was busy peeling crayfish without saying a word.
Tian Ruan knew that they were shy, so he stopped asking questions, but he couldn't suppress the smile on the corners of his lips. His eldest son and Lu Qiuyan definitely didn't do that kind of thing, but their relationship must have heated up, and they must have done things that only lovers do, which is why they feel so unnatural.
Wang Weiqi, the only single person in the audience, received a critical hit of 10,000 points. He didn't want to eat other people's dog food, so he turned his grief and anger into strength and ate crayfish like crazy.
The spicy crayfish was so spicy that after everyone ate half of it, their faces started to turn red and their lips looked like they were covered in lipstick.
"Damn, it's so spicy!" Wang Weiqi burst into tears.
Tian Ruan quickly ordered a cold beer and gulped down the whole can, imitating Lu Qiuyan's generosity. When he was about to show off his skills and continue to challenge the spicy crayfish, he lost his memory.
“…”
When he opened his eyes, he was lying in Yu Jingmo's Maybach, with his head resting on Yu Jingmo's legs.
What a familiar scene! Tian Ruan was so moved that she cried: "I only drank two cans of beer... I haven't finished my crayfish yet."
Yu Jingmo said: "Smell the smell in the car."
Tian Ruan sniffed suspiciously, "Crayfish! Did you bring it back for me?"
"Um."
"Great." Tian Ruan was in high spirits. "Let's go back and continue eating. No, where are they?"
"Wait until you have rested. Lu Qiuyan said he will come to see you."
Tian Ruan felt relieved, sat up and leaned his head on Yu Jingmo's shoulder, "I feel dizzy... Ugh!"
"parking."
Tian Ruan went to the riverside to vomit for a while. He felt a little guilty, but he also thought it was okay and that the vomit would be naturally weathered and degraded and would not be considered as polluting the environment.
Yu Jingmo brought him a bottle of mineral water to rinse his mouth, patted his back to calm him down, and sighed with a smile: "In the past few years, I really thought you had become calmer."
Tian Ruan turned his head and glared at him: "...Is it fake?"
Yu Jingmo looked at the young man's lips, which were slightly swollen from the spicy food. "It's not fake." He moved his eyes to the young man's moist brown eyes. "It can't be real either."
"What's the meaning?"
Yu Jingmo took Tian Ruan's hand, and the two walked along the river. He said, "You can be immature, unstable, and do whatever you want. You have to know that I support any decision you make, except drinking."
"...Oh." Tian Ruan lowered his head. "It seems that I haven't made much progress compared to five years ago."
"No." Yu Jingmo said, "You have made a lot of progress. In my eyes, your light is getting brighter and brighter."
Tian Ruan laughed: "Really?"
"Um."
"Generally speaking, many novels end here," Tian Ruan said. "The rest can be left to the readers' imagination."
Yu Jingmo looked at him, "Do you want to finish?"
Tian Ruan shook his head. "Our story will always be in this time and space. It will never end. Until the end of life."
At least for this moment, and for a long, long time to come, in the years that have passed, their story has always been there. From a four-dimensional perspective, there is actually no end to the story until the universe is annihilated.
All the people, all the stories, are there.
