Growth pain

Perhaps because he grew up in a warm family, Lu Shining would unconsciously reveal a trace of coquettishness when talking with his parents, and he could catch the traces of coquettishness in his words.

When he was young, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it. When he grew up, Lu Shining also realized that it was wrong, but he couldn't change it. He only dared to say something inappropriate for his age when he was avoiding people.

Now that Yuan Sen heard this, Lu Shining was embarrassed and did not dare to look at him, but Yuan Sen still teased him, calling "Ning Ning" one after another.

Lu Shining's face was hot, and he walked into Yuan Sen's house a few steps, Yuan Sen restrained himself, took his arm and said, "I just had a quarrel with my mother, you help coax people."

Lu Shining was slightly stunned, his eyes asked, why are you so noisy?

Yuan Sen shrugged, "I complained that I didn't tell her when I came back, so I contacted my dad first."

"It can't be helped." Lu Shining choked out a few words for a long time.

Yuan Sen raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head, "Okay, it will comfort people."

Lu Shining: "You're mocking me."

Yuan Sen replied fluently: "How dare I, ancestor."

When Lu Shining stepped into the kitchen, Yang Qiongfang was cooking. He was still angry. The pots and pans were crackling. He turned his head and saw that it was Lu Shining who calmed down.

"Ning Ning is here, go into the house quickly, the place is full of oily smoke."

Lu Shining took the plate, "It's okay, Aunt Fang, I'll come and help."

"There's nothing here for your help. Hurry up and go to the house. Did Yuan Sen call you here? I knew it was him. Every time it happens like this, I know I will call you as a rescuer."

It seemed that Yang Qiongfang was not really angry, she just laughed after saying a few words, the corners of her eyes were a little wrinkled, and her high nose bridge aggravated this old feeling.

Lu Shining remembered how she looked in her thirties, with a square face, high nose bridge, and a loud voice. Once there was a quarrel next door, the fragile walls of the old house couldn't stop the roaring and sobbing.

At that time, he really wanted to pull Yuan Sen out of that house.Although he has never been taller than Yuan Sen since he was a child, sometimes Yuan Sen will inadvertently reveal a gloomy sense of fragility, which makes Lu Shining feel that he must do something, hug Or to hold the cold fingertips of my brother.

Recently, Lu Shining often recalled his childhood, and all his memories had the shadow of another person. He was very familiar with Yuan Sen, but he felt strange to his former self.Yuan Sen is still the same as before, the words in his mouth are mixed, true and false, treating him well is really good, but he is the one who has changed the most.

Lu Shining brought the bowls and chopsticks to the dining table, Yuan Sen was breaking edamame to eat, and squeezed out one to give him, but Lu Shining avoided it.

Yuan Sen looked at him innocently, but Lu Shining remained silent.The six years of separation and the two years of seldom contact are nothing to Yuan Sen. He is the only one who cares, which makes Lu Shining fall into self-loathing again.

"I just saw you talking and laughing with my mother." Yuan Sen stood up and leaned against the table with him, "Why don't you smile at me?"

Lu Shining thought to himself, yes, why, it couldn't be because I still like you, that's ridiculous.

So he said: "Think too much, brother."

Every word was pronounced clearly, and each word was knocked on the ears of myself and the other party.

Yuan Sen lowered his head to look at him, Lu Shining subconsciously bent his mouth, his eyes watery and dazed.

"Just know that I'm your brother." Yuan Sen still stuffed a edamame into Lu Shining's mouth.He seems to be a little obsessive-compulsive, especially if he is not allowed to do something, he must do it.

The tip of Lu Shining's tongue was filled with a salty taste, and when he raised his eyes to see Yuan Sen smiling so happily, he suddenly felt a little unwilling.How can I still fall in love with him at the first sight, as if chasing him is something that must be done deep in my bones.

When the food was on the table, Yang Qiongfang only talked to Lu Shining, and Yuan Sen said, "Stop chatting and let him eat more", Yang Qiongfang stopped.

But after a while she started to ask Yuan Sen, "What is your dad doing recently?"

"Didn't I tell you, the same old way, tinkering with the house."

"Is there nothing else to do? That's right, what can he do with his little brain, everything he does will lose money, so don't learn from him."

Yuan Sen didn't say anything.

Yang Qiongfang said, "Is there anyone around him?"

There was silence at the dinner table.

It's no secret.The tip of Lu Shining's tongue ached, and the saltiness of the edamame surged up just now.

Yuan Sen said: "Can't you eat well? Why do you care so much about him? It has nothing to do with you."

Lu Shining could not lower his head any lower.In the past, it was fine if he was not taboo, but how many years have passed, why are you still talking about it in front of him.

"I'll just ask what's wrong. I'm your mother, so I can't ask?" Yang Qiongfang refused to let go. After all, she cared about the presence of others and didn't say any more excessive words.

The meal ended in a strange atmosphere. After the meal, Yang Qiongfang cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes. Lu Shining wanted to help but was stopped by Yuan Sen.

"Leave her alone."

Lu Shining looked at Yang Qiongfang's back and then at Yuan Sen, "Let her go."

Yuan Sen looked at him for a while, stared at him uncomfortably before saying, "You used to be towards me."

Lu Shining fell silent.

Yuan Sen rubbed his head, as tolerant as a brother to a younger brother, "Don't worry, it's nothing, I won't really quarrel with her."

Lu Shining had given up resisting these physical contact and said, "Are you staying here tonight?"

"Driving back at night, you won't go back?"

"Back, I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

Lu Shining didn't stay for long before going back. Naturally, he wanted to spend more time with his parents when he went home, but he didn't want the two elders to take a nap after going back.

Lu Shining originally planned to go back to his room to sleep, but not long after he lay down, Zhang Lei kept sending him messages.

Lu Shining sat up with a broken face and looked through the news, Zhang Lei said: [I'm still here to pick them up. 】

[Come to help carry the bag. 】

[Shao Qing's current girlfriend is not as handsome as the previous one. 】

[Can you talk to me. 】

[I am now following behind to carry bags for two ladies, very lonely and boring. 】

Lu Shining agreed, and he said: 【Blocked. 】

Zhang Lei: [?You are not sleeping]

Zhang Lei: [Oh, you are going back to your hometown today. 】

Lu Shining: [Block black for 4 hours. 】

Zhang Lei: 【You fucking need to sleep for four hours, you pig? 】

Lu Shining: [6 hours. 】

Zhang Lei: [? ? ? 】

Lu Shining: [9 hours, goodbye. 】

Zhang Lei protested: [Your growth rate has no logic at all! 】

Lu Shining didn't care about these things, the world was clean after being blocked, but within a few minutes he received a message from Yuan Sen again.

Yuan Sen: [Come out later? 】

Lu Shining stared at the line for more than ten seconds, finally compromised, put on his shoes again and went out.

It seems so easy to choose between friends and childhood.

Lu Shining went downstairs and saw Yuan Sen lighting a cigarette and leaning over to look at the old graffiti on the corridor wall.

He walked over, Yuan Sen put out his cigarette, pointed to a corner of the wall and said, "Did you draw this?"

Lu Shining looked over, there were lines smeared with blue chalk on it, twisted and disconnected, and there was a pause at the disconnected place, "No, it's been so many years...I haven't scribbled on the wall before."

Yuan Sen was obviously teasing him, "Our little deer was really good before."

Lu Shining ignored him and said, "Arguing again?"

Yuan Sen said: "It doesn't matter, I will come out when I see her angry."

The two strolled to the flower bed behind the courtyard, and Yuan Sen sat down on a step at random.

"There is soil." Lu Shining said.

Yuan Sen raised his eyes and tugged at his trouser legs, "Since when did you become obsessed with cleanliness? Sit down, let me clean up the head office for you, okay?"

When do you have cleanliness?Lu Shining also asked himself, it seems that after Yuan Sen left, when they were two, they seemed to be able to accept anything, but when they were alone, they would rather have nothing around them than someone else would do what Yuan Sen did before.This was the only response he was looking forward to, and if he didn't get it, forget it.

Naturally, Yuan Sen was not allowed to rub, and Lu Shining took the initiative to sit down.

"You can smoke," he said.

"Forget it, it's better to quit." Yuan Sen said casually.

Lu Shining turned to look at him, "Then give me one."

Yuan Sen hesitated and took out the cigarette case.Lu Shining held the cigarette slightly with his fingers together, and motioned Yuan Sen to light it for him with the mouthpiece in his mouth.

"It really smokes?" Yuan Sen took out a lighter and lit it for him, "I thought you hated the smell of cigarettes."

Lu Shining took a puff of cigarette and let it out.He has a quiet atmosphere when he smokes. Some people once said that he smokes a woman. It sounds a bit ironic, but it is true. A little spark is ignited at a distance between his fingers, and the way he puffs out smoke is unnecessary serious and gentle in.

Others smoke to enjoy themselves and relieve their worries, but he smokes, but people don't know why.Lu Shining's eyes were still bright, beautifully reflecting the misty direction of the smog, and his lips were moist with a little saliva from the tip of his tongue.

Yuan Sen didn't look at him all the time, and took out a stick of chewing gum from his pocket after a while.

They sat like this for half an hour, and Yuan Sen asked him, "Is your butt cool?"

Lu Shining: "...cool."

"Then let's go, go back." Yuan Sen got up and patted the dirt on his body, and when Lu Shining got up, he wanted to pat him again.

Lu Shining jumped away, and finally had a big emotional ups and downs towards Yuan Sen.

"I'm 24, not fourteen!"

Yuan Sen bent his eyes and smiled, looking a little naughty, "Isn't it still younger than me?"

Lu Shining said, "You did it on purpose."

"Ok?"

"Get revenge on me."

"Revenge you for what?"

Lu Shining pursed his lips and stopped talking, he knew in his heart that Yuan Sen blamed him for his initial indifference.

This time, like so many times over the years, he knew he was wrong.
