Chapter 172 Let’s Eat a Bowl of Noodles
Jiang Luan's tears completely burst out at this moment.
He pulled Lu Qian's arm and hugged Lu Qian, or rather, his lover who would never come back, into his arms.
He howled and confessed heartbreakingly over and over again.
"Why didn't you come to see me in my dreams? I thought you thought I wasn't working hard enough. I thought you were always blaming me..."
"I love you. I have never stopped loving you. I have never forgotten you for a single moment."
"I miss you so much, I miss you so much... I miss you so much..."
Lu Qian's stiff body gradually relaxed as Jiang Luan cried. She raised her hand and gently patted Jiang Luan's thin back.
"Yes, I know everything."
A breeze blew through the treetops, and the yellow-green leaves seemed to wither even more.
Life is born and grows old in this cycle that repeats itself over and over again, never stopping for a moment for anyone.
The seemingly solid wall of the heart could not withstand the slightest touch, and the rusted locks and weathered bricks and tiles collapsed in an instant.
Wait until the rubble breaks and the smoke clears.
The fourteen-year-old boy who was imprisoned in a cage finally came back to life when he was twenty-five years old.
…
Jiang Luan sobbed and let go of Lu Qian. After calming down, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed about his behavior.
He lowered his head and pursed his red nose, "I'm sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about."
Lu Qian was calm. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Luan.
"Wipe it off."
Lu Qian finally understood why Jiang Luan always acted like a child, because he had never grown up since he was fourteen.
He left his strongest and most passionate emotions, along with himself, with Nairn back then.
Jiang Luan took the handkerchief, took off his glasses, and rubbed them hard a few times.
Lu Qian looked at Jiang Luan's red eyes and nose, and patted his shoulder. "Take a day off today. It's not good for the dean to see anyone after crying like this."
Jiang Luan nodded and hummed.
Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly took out the small bag that Lu Qian had sewn for him from his pocket and handed it to Lu Qian.
"Could you please add her name to this for me?"
He gestured at the lower left corner of the bag. "Right here."
"Nairn told me that she rarely owned anything of her own, so she wanted to put her name on everything that truly belonged to her."
But Jiang Luan didn't understand at that time that even that name didn't really belong to her.
Lu Qian happily took the bag and said, "Leave it to me."
It took Jiang Luan eleven years to take this step.
But fortunately, I finally took the step forward.
There will be no conflicts and only a smooth road ahead.
Lu Qian curled up on the sofa, carefully sewing her name, and asked Jiang Luan, "Oh, yes, Cheng Yi told me that you said the box asked you to go with him. What does that mean?"
Jiang Luan first opened his eyes wide in surprise. He didn't expect Cheng Yi to tell Lu Qian this.
"It wasn't the box that made me go with him," he shook his head, "it was Nairn who made me go with him."
“Because I am mixed-race, the Hoffman family discriminated against me. Before I was recognized by the medical community, almost no one paid attention to my suspicions, including my uncle.
So even though he treated me better than others, he only gave me an unused laboratory in a corner and asked me not to affect others."
"Only Nairn comforted me: 'You are so talented, those people didn't recognize you. You will definitely meet someone who will support you unconditionally, and then all your speculations will come true.'"
"Then I met Cheng Yi, so I believed his promise without a second thought, because I felt that it was Nain's blessing on me."
Lu Qian blinked twice slowly.
"So that's how it is."
Lu Qian couldn't help but feel that Jiang Luan was indeed blessed.
He had been on the brink of life and death so many times, especially him, a skinny and unarmed scholar, who had been following the desperado Cheng Yi for nine years and was still alive and well.
Although she is a materialist, she still can't help but wonder if Nain is really always with Jiang Luan?
Lu Qian fastened a button firmly on the inside of the bag to ensure that the embroidered name would not fall apart. After checking that everything was correct, he handed it to Jiang Luan.
"alright."
Jiang Luan took the bag, took out the metal box, rubbed it gently twice, and put it in solemnly.
Lu Qian couldn't help but laugh as he looked at Jiang Luan's joy that was about to overflow from his body.
She turned around and thought of something, then called out, "Hey, Jiang Luan, do you want to fix that photo?"
Jiang Luan tilted his head, puzzled: "Repair?"
Lu Qian raised his hand and gestured, "It means recording the photo into the computer and restoring it to high definition. The image is clearer, and you can also print a larger one."
When Jiang Luan heard this, he frowned uncomfortably, clenched the small box in his hand, and made a protective gesture.
Seeing his defensive look, Lu Qian quickly waved her hand and reassured him, "Don't worry, it won't be damaged at all. Just scan it and you don't even need to remove the glass."
Jiang Luan relaxed a little after hearing this, but still maintained a distrustful attitude.
Lu Qian took a step closer to him and whispered seductively, "In the restored photo, you can even see the freckles on Nain's face."
“…”
Lu Qian stared at Jiang Luan's face. She saw Jiang Luan's Adam's apple roll slowly and his ears began to turn slightly pink.
He was indeed moved.
Lu Qian pressed on: "We can even print a super-large one and hang it in the lab."
“…”
Jiang Luan's eyes lit up.
Lu Qian looked at Jiang Luan with his eyes flickering, "How is it?"
“…Then…” Jiang Luan was obviously still a little confused.
"It will be repaired right under your nose. You can watch it from beginning to end. We won't take it away, and we won't break it."
Lu Qian's words completely dispelled Jiang Luan's last doubts, and he had no reason to refuse.
"Okay then."
Lu Qian smiled happily, the joy in her heart couldn't be suppressed and even her standing posture began to sway.
"Then you rest here. I'll go check the equipment in the laboratory."
Jiang Luan nodded briefly, being very obedient.
Seeing that he agreed, Lu Qian continued to ask, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."
"Anything is fine."
"How about a bowl of noodles?"
Jiang Luan smiled faintly, "Okay."
