clear road dust

Shen Junhuai never mentioned going to the hospital again.

Lu Qingchen still stays in the studio every day, staying at home.

Several of his new works were featured in Hanxing's recommended exhibition, which almost aroused admiration in the industry.Many people want to meet this mysterious young artist, but unfortunately even Hanxing's boss Zhan Yue can't make an appointment with him.

Han Xing is going to hold the annual painters salon and go to the Nordic Aurora Village to collect folk songs.After thinking for a long time, Zhan Yue finally called Lu Qingchen.He can conclude that the aurora in Lu Qingchen's works must be gorgeous and romantic to the extreme. He has all the romance and sensitivity of a talented painter, and he has no reason to refuse.

Lu Qingchen seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He still couldn't refuse others' kindness, but he still insisted on his previous intention. He could participate in the painter's salon, but he couldn't go to Aurora Village.

"Is it because your boyfriend doesn't want you to go out?" Before hanging up the phone, Zhan Yue finally couldn't help asking, he purposely said boyfriend, not lover or family.

"No...it's because I don't want to go out." Lu Qingchen said.He really didn't want to see Zhan Yue, he would always think of the last time Zhan Yue left halfway through the meal and Fang He suddenly barged in.The timing is too coincidental, and the traces of human manipulation are also obvious.Although it doesn't look like Zhan Yue is involved in it, even so, there must be a connection between Zhan Yue and Fang He Du Qian.Even if they are not friends, they are still people in the same circle.

Zhan Yue felt that all his luck was exhausted by Lu Qingchen.

"Qingchen, do you know? I have been trying to get close to you and understand you, but you always wrap yourself in a cocoon, and no one can see your inner core." Zhan Yue on the other end of the phone was a little helpless, and then smiled again Laughing, "I sincerely hope to invite you to see the aurora together, please think about it before replying to me!" Then he hung up the phone.

Lu Qingchen held the phone, not knowing what to do.

The last talk ended with his crying and Shen Junhuai's compromise, and then they lived a seemingly quiet few days.

So Lu Qingchen came up with a set of arguments called "superficial stories" to deal with himself: what happened a year ago has passed, and he will never meet people like Fang He, Du Qian and Chen Xuxing if he doesn't go out, his lover He also apologized for his out-of-control behavior and got his own forgiveness. Dr. Lin no longer came to explain his health, and his career has also improved and he has been recognized and liked.

Look, is there a better ending than this one?

While some images would still appear in dreams as nightmares or flashbacks, this was the best ending he could imagine.

At least, Shen Junhuai was still willing to be with him.

He couldn't give his lover any more trouble.

He has to work hard to make this "willing to be together" last longer.

Shen Junhuai still went out early and returned late, he didn't want to see Lu Qingchen pretending to be fine while obviously fearful.

Sometimes when he comes home late at night, he even has brief heart palpitations before stepping into the door.

He has been proficient in the professional field for more than ten years, but he is timid about a relationship.Lu Qingchen is different from other feelings he has experienced before, and this is what he only discovered recently.At first, he also thought that there was no difference, but later found that he couldn't deal with Lu Qingchen simply and rudely with "yes or no".

Before that, "yes or no" has always been his two ways to deal with problems, and "effective or ineffective" is the basis for his judgment at the beginning of doing things.

Now, he can't figure out a reasonable solution path, and can't find a basis for judgment, so he decides to start with the problem that can be solved.

He called Shen Yun over.

On Sunday morning, Lu Qingchen was hiding in the studio. As soon as a painting was finished, he heard the sound of a car engine coming from the yard.Shen Junhuai went out early this morning and came back so early.

Not only Shen Junhuai came out of the car, but also two tall young men and a well-dressed, handsome boy of sixteen or seventeen with blue hair.Lu Qingchen peeked out the window secretly, and saw Shen Junhuai pamperingly rubbing the boy's blue hair when he got out of the car, and after saying something, the boy climbed onto his arm, gesticulating with high spirits, and then He laughed heartily.

Lu Qingchen didn't have time to think about it, when he heard the door downstairs opened, and a burst of laughter and noise swept in like the wind.

He hid behind the door and listened nervously to the movement downstairs, not knowing who those people were downstairs, nor whether he wanted to go out.Just as he was panicking, he heard a burst of light footsteps stop at the studio door.

"Qingchen, come out and introduce some people to you." Shen Junhuai's familiar voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Qingchen opened the door, a little dazed.

"Don't be afraid." Shen Junhuai took his hand and led him out.

The blue-haired boy was wandering around on the first floor, when he looked up and saw Lu Qingchen standing at the stairs on the second floor, he immediately yelled. "Wow! You are Lu Qingchen, my uncle's boyfriend who has been hiding for 4 years! Well done!"

Lu Qingchen sat awkwardly in the corner of the sofa, and Shen Yun almost leaned on him.

"Your face really has no dead spots at all." Shen Yun pulled Lu Qingchen's collar, and it was almost close to his face, "It's just that you are too thin. Tsk, did my uncle abuse you? "

Shen Junhuai pulled Shen Yun away from Lu Qingchen, and warned him: "Speak well, don't get so close."

Shen Yun is the only son of Shen Junhuai's cousin. He lived in Country M since he was a child, and grew up with Mr. Shen. He was not very close to other relatives in the family, except for the cold-hearted Shen Junhuai.This child was naughty and naughty when he was a child, his parents couldn't control him since he was a child, only Shen Junhuai could make him be honest for three days with a single glance.

These are what Shen Yun just explained to Lu Qingchen.

"Do you know why I'm so afraid of my uncle?" Shen Yun gnawed on an apple while complaining, "His hands are too dark, once I got into trouble, he didn't almost kill me." Shen Junhuai glanced at him, He immediately changed the subject, "I came here to bother you this time. I came here on my own initiative, and I definitely didn't come threatened by my uncle."

Lu Qingchen was a little embarrassed, so he could only smile.

Shen Yun was startled by his smile, and secretly cursed Shen Jun in his heart that he was a beast, such a good-looking little brother could do it.He didn't show his face, and continued to climb the road to clean the dust cover: "I've been staying at your house for a few days, and I still need to ask Brother Xiaolu to take me around to eat!"

According to Shen Junhuai's words, Shen Yun had just finished the exam in Country M, and had a few weeks of vacation, so she wanted to go back to China for a while and live here temporarily.The family was worried that something might happen to him, so they arranged for two bodyguards to follow him.

Now, the house is lively.

Shen Junhuai is usually not at home, so Shen Yun drags Lu Qingchen around to play around every day.

Libraries, museums, art exhibitions, and salons are all Lu Qingchen's favorite places to go.They also occasionally go shopping, shopping and watching movies in the CBD, and also drive to the suburbs and climb mountains.After a few days, Lu Qingchen's spare time life is more colorful than his previous 20 years.Although he was very tired, his face turned rosy and he smiled more.

At night, Shen Yun ran to his uncle to ask for credit.

Shen Junhuai transferred a sum of money to him, Shen Yun checked the records, and immediately smiled. "Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of my future aunt after you go to the capital for a few days."

Shen Junhuai: "I'll be back in two days, you're still the same as before, you have to stay close." He thought for a while, and then instructed, "I'm not in Pingzhou for these two days, so you don't want to go out."

Shen Junhuai let him go out only after receiving repeated assurances from Shen Yun.

Although Shen Yun appeared to be young and arrogant on the surface, he was really prudent and sophisticated in his actions. The children who grew up with Mr. Shen did not have a good temperament.Shen Junhuai was relieved to hand Lu Qingchen over to Shen Yun.

The next night, when Shen Junhuai didn't return all night, Lu Qingchen knew that he had gone to another place.Shen Yun only said that my uncle had gone on a business trip, and refused to say anything else, so Lu Qingchen stopped asking questions embarrassingly.

"Uncle will be back soon. He didn't tell you, maybe because he was afraid that you would miss him too much." Shen Yun dropped the game controller and came over to tease Lu Qingchen who was depressed. For two days, let's not go out, just stay at home and pretend to be dead, okay?"

Lu Qingchen wished he could stay at home and pretend to be dead, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

As a result, on the second day, Shen Yun regretted it.

Shen Yun: "Little brother, are you particularly bored? If you really want to go out, I can accompany you. We don't need to tell him about my uncle."

Lu Qingchen: "I'm not bored, I don't want to go out."

Shen Yun: "Okay, since you've begged me so much, then I'll take you to a fun place! Quick, pack up and go out!"

Lu Qingchen: "..."

Two bodyguards in house clothes preparing for a double row: "..."

Half an hour later, a group of four dressed up and went to the racecourse in the western suburbs.

Shen Jun plays a little favorite horse, and has excellent equestrian skills. Before coming here, he had studied the most famous equestrian club in the area. A few days ago, he accommodated Lu Qingchen's preferences and took people out to have fun and relax. Now that Shen Junhuai is gone, he can't bear it anymore. Live at the horse farm.

The racecourse is a membership system, Shen Yun is not familiar with the place, it was Su Changxian who greeted the person in charge before letting them in.

As soon as Shen Yun entered, he had fun, and it happened that someone was forming a team to play polo, so he chose a horse that looked pleasing to the eye, and joined in.Shen Yun's school is a well-known private high school in country M. He was the captain of the polo team as soon as he entered school, and he often beat a group of sturdy classmates to the point where they couldn't fight back.I ran into this kind of very amateur polo team in China, and I convinced others within a few rounds.

The people who formed the team were all young masters from the local upper circles. They didn't pay much attention to Shen Yun at first, but after losing a few games in a row, they had to pay attention to it.They saw that Shen Yun was young and had an unfamiliar face, and he didn't look like a local child, but judging by his appearance, he was not from an ordinary family, so they inquired about his identity during the break.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yun was only playing golf, and after throwing the polo club away, he ran to find Lu Qingchen.

Near noon, they ate at the racecourse restaurant.

"Those people are too good at the level. They said they would find some experts to come over and re-form the team in the afternoon." Shen Yun complained while eating, and glanced at Lu Qingchen as if nothing had happened.

"Then you can continue calling in the afternoon, I'm fine." Lu Qingchen said considerately, he is not stupid, these days he said that he was with Shen Yun, but in fact it was the other party who was taking care of him.It's rare for Shen Yun to have fun, he doesn't want to spoil the fun.

It was rare for Shen Yun to feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his hair and suddenly thought of an idea: "I'll ask Rob to bring your drawing board. Can you draw here?"

Lu Qingchen had a flash of inspiration. He was just watching Shen Yun playing polo through the glass on the second floor, and he was impressed by the young man's free and easy way. He thought it would be great if he could draw it.When Shen Yun mentioned this, he also felt that the suggestion was very good, so he immediately agreed.

The two bodyguards who followed Shen Yun, one named Rob and the other named Ah Han, were both Asian M countrymen, usually they didn't talk much, they just followed behind Shen Yun silently.Shen Yun has been inseparable from Lu Qingchen since he came to Pingzhou, and Lu Qingchen became familiar with them after a long time.

Then Lu Qingchen explained to Rob what he wanted to pick up, which was a simple easel and pencils, and he could make a draft in an afternoon, but he couldn't draw too much.

Rob drove away, and Shen Yun was called away by those people in the morning.

Sitting in the booth on the second floor of the club, Lu Qingchen found that Ah Han was still behind him, so he asked him to quickly catch up with Shen Yun.

"I'm here to accompany you." Ah Han shook his head, speaking Chinese a little jerky.

"I'm fine here by myself, you don't have to worry about me, just go and look at Shen Yun!" Seeing Ah Han, Lu Qingchen just shook his head, a little anxious.

"Master Yun will be fine." Ah Han said with a smile. He is slender, with good features, wearing a simple casual shirt and jeans, and his smile is a little sunny. He doesn't look like a bodyguard, but a college student.

Only then did Lu Qingchen belatedly realize that the four of them were walking together these few days, Ah Han and Rob seemed to be more nervous about his every move, but they didn't care much about Shen Yun.He thought about it carefully, even if he went to the bathroom outside, these two people never left him alone.

Could it be that these two people came to protect him?

Lu Qingchen thought to himself and didn't speak any more.

Until a sudden noise interrupted his meditation.
