He secretly changed his character

Lu Zichu was a little discouraged. "I am really crazy. Why do I have to ask you to study for a doctorate when I am fine?"

"I want to read it, too." Fei Mingze looked at him lying on the soft bed in a big shape, "You should take a nap first and adjust to the time difference."

"You still want to go back to the institute?"

"Yeah. I still need to keep an eye on some data."

Lu Zichu picked up a pillow and threw it at him, "Go to hell! Who said there would be more than just a kiss when you come back? So you were just talking nonsense?"

Fei Mingze looked at his watch and said, "There are only thirty minutes left, apart from the twenty-five minutes on the road, there are still five minutes. Honey, I don't want to leave any psychological trauma on you after not seeing you for a year."

The corner of Lu Zichu's mouth twitched, "Get lost now."

Fei Mingze, however, did not follow suit. Instead, he approached him and gave him a passionate kiss.

When she let him go, she seemed to have noticed something and pinched his waist again and again, her eyes became strange, "You don't look thin to me, how come you don't have any flesh on your body?"

Lu Zichu felt a little guilty, and paused before trying to reason with her, "You didn't even make me a loving meal, so naturally I became thin due to hunger."

Fei Mingze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I found out. Now you blame me for everything bad that happens to you."

"I got it from my aunt. She never gets fat no matter how much she eats. Others can't envy her for having such a physique." Lu Zichu finished speaking the truth and lie and immediately urged him, "If you have something to do, hurry back. It's not good to have a bunch of people waiting for you."

"Can you do it yourself?"

"Don't worry, I'm very reasonable."

"is it?"

"So in your heart, I am still so petty?"

"Mom and Dad will be here tomorrow, so you should have some fun with them." Fei Mingze stood up, straightened his clothes, and gathered his hair. "I've been really busy lately. But fortunately, there's still half a year left, so let's just hold on, okay?"

Lu Zichu looked obedient and nodded.

After Fei Mingze left, Lu Zichu fell asleep.

When I got up, Xiao Ruyi was already there, preparing lunch in the kitchen outside.

Lu Zichu hadn't seen her for a long time, and when they met suddenly, he felt mixed emotions.

There is happiness and excitement, but more of it is fear and relief.

"Mom~" Lu Zichu's words were choked with sobs.

Xiao Ruyi turned around and looked at him, "You kid, are you hysterical?"

Lu Zichu came over and hugged Xiao Ruyi's waist, acting a little bit like a spoiled child, asking for comfort. He asked, "What brought you here?"

"It was that time in the morning, Mingze had just left. We met."

"He is back?"

"what."

"Why would he bother? It would take him 40 to 50 minutes to go back and forth. He could just stay in the research room at school."

"Mingze, this is just a gesture to you." Xiao Ruyi smiled and instructed Lu Zichu to bring the plate over. "This also shows that he has you in his heart."

"I think he is doing this to shut me up. After all, he came back from far away and didn't stay out all night." Lu Zichu was very unhappy. Fei Mingze was very busy all day and had no time to spare. Although he could understand that, he still felt resentful most of the time.

Xiao Ruyi said, "Well, he's not here, who are you acting like a spoiled brat for?"

"He's not here, but you are. You're my mother, so I can't act like a spoiled child to you?"

Lu Zichu put the plate in the living room, untied Xiao Ruyi's apron, and then pushed her into the chair.

While eating, the two of them chatted about family matters.

So, in the days before the New Year, the two of them were always together, either staying at home watching TV series or going out to see the scenery.

In fact, whether it is love or family affection, we can always make up for each other.

Now that Fei Mingze is not here, it’s good that Xiao Ruyi is here.

Fei Mingze still left early and came back late. Lu Zichu had been here for almost a week and had not seen him much, and the words they had spoken were even fewer. Every day, only the cold woody scent that belonged to him could tell Lu Zichu that he was back.

This kind of life of less gatherings and more separations continued until New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve of that year, Fei Mingze's mother and her boyfriend also came.

On this side are Fei Jingwen and Xiao Ruyi.

In the middle are Fei Mingze and Lu Zichu.

People from three worlds sat at the same table, connected and intersected because of the intersection between Lu Zichu and Fei Mingze.

They seemed to be having a good time, but Fei Mingze was still busy and hadn't come back yet at seven o'clock.

Gao Wenjun complained a few words.

Fei Jingwen winked at Lu Zichu, asking him to accompany the guests properly. Lu Zichu understood.

Fei Jingwen went out with his cane.

He walked along the alley for a while, and just in time to see Fei Mingze coming towards him at the corner.

His car stopped at the entrance of the alley and he walked over, covered in snow.

"Why are you here?"

Fei Jingwen said, "I'm waiting for you."

"Oh, I have something to ask."

Fei Jingwen didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him, "You've been very busy lately. Busier than me."

“Recent projects have moved from theory to practical application.”

"A breakthrough?"

"Yes." Fei Mingze put one hand in his pocket, lowered his eyes and nodded, "The first batch of volunteer experiments will be carried out in the middle of next year."

"So fast?" Although Fei Jingwen believed that his son was a miracle worker, when the miracle really happened, he felt like it was a dream and was hesitant to believe it.

"Fast?" Fei Mingze thought of Zhuo Bufan, his heart full of bitterness, "I have always hated that my progress is so slow. So slow that I can't even keep the person I want to save the most."

Fei Jingwen looked confused for a moment, and after a moment he seemed to figure it out, "Are you talking about the kid from the Zhuo family?"

Fei Mingze responded calmly. Zhuo Bufan had passed away half a year ago, but his death had far-reaching consequences.

He is not only Fei Mingze's best friend, but also his confidant.

This is hard to let go, it has nothing to do with romance. It's just the sound of mountains and flowing water, and the soulmate has gone far away.

Fei Jingwen mentioned this matter out of emotion. When Zhuo Xingjian was still alive, he was on good terms with the Fei family and the two were also friends. It was also because of this parent-child relationship that the younger generations of the two families had more exchanges.

However, the relationship between Fei Mingze and Zhuo Bufan was deeper than that between two adults. This was something they had not expected.

When Fei Jingwen first heard of Zhuo Bufan's death, it was like devastating sad news, and he couldn't get over it for a long time.

The reason why he couldn't let it go was because he felt sorry for his old friend, whose only son passed away at a young age.

"Life is unpredictable. When your uncle Xingjian passed away, he was older than Bufan." Fei Jingwen said with a heavy heart, "But the good thing is that he passed away early. He didn't have to experience the pain of seeing his younger brother die."

Fei Mingze also felt heavy in his heart.

"Ah, when people get old they always like to talk about the past." Fei Jingwen calmly changed the subject, "By the way, your research is related to Zichu, right?"
