clear road dust

Lu Qingchen sat stiffly on the passenger seat, his hands clasped tightly, the knuckles turned white, but not as white as his face.He had never seen Shen Junhuai cry before, but now he was crying in this strange town because of something that happened a year ago.

It was strange that he didn't have much emotion in his heart except fear.There are many things that can make him afraid, but among the many complicated reasons, the fear of Shen Junhuai feeling sad and blaming himself for this is indeed at the top of the list.

Even if they have come to an end and there is no result in the future, he does not want Shen Junhuai to leave bad memories during the journey he participated in.The person he once cherished in his heart should live a carefree and unrestrained life.

"I contacted the hospital in Pingzhou, and we'll go back for surgery. If you still want to go back to Qizhi, we'll come back when you recover." Shen Junhuai lost control of his emotions for only a short moment, then calmed down and made arrangements in an orderly manner step by step plan.

"Jun Huai," Lu Qingchen didn't know how to speak, he hesitated for a while, but Shen Junhuai waited patiently for him to speak.

"Don't worry, the doctor just said that the ear can be cured anywhere, and it can be cured. I, I don't want to go back, I want to stay here..." He glanced at the other party very quickly after speaking, looking at Shen Junhuai His face was calm, and he was not as angry as he imagined. Then he said, "I have no skills and no ambitions. I just want a place to stay. You...you can go back to country M with peace of mind. If you want to meet, you can come anytime. Look at me, too."

"I can come to see you if I miss you? If I see you until I miss you, our relationship will end at that time. Is that what you think?" Shen Junhuai asked.

"You gave me 5 years, and I'm very satisfied. In the future... Let's talk about things in the future, okay..." Lu Qingchen answered irrelevantly, but it was not much different from replying "yes".

Shen Junhuai took a deep breath, and his calm emotions were about to surge again. He instinctively touched the cigarette, only then remembered that he had thrown away the cigarette and the lighter just now.He thought that his heart was strong enough, but the current Lu Qingchen has the ability to make him go crazy instantly.

"We have been together for 5 years, and you ran away from home for a year. It is almost the seven-year itch. Why, after you got tired of playing, you wanted to abandon me?" Shen Junhuai spread his hands, his whole body Leaning back in the chair, he sneered and put a big hat on the person next to him.Anyway, if you can’t say anything, if you don’t believe what you say, then just smash it!

Lu Qingchen was stunned by his words, and looked up at him in astonishment, with his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide open, like a deer caught by a hunter—he obviously didn't expect that Professor Shen, who had been sitting upright for more than 30 years, To be able to say such bastard words.

Shen Junhuai caught his gaze, stared at him for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing.The flames surging in his chest were quickly extinguished. He raised his hand, flicked the forehead of the person opposite him lightly, and said "What a fool".

Lu Qingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was uglier than crying.

The solemn and awkward atmosphere in the car just now quickly dissipated.

After a while, Shen Junhuai smiled.His eyes were still red, and he looked at Lu Qingchen tenderly: "5 years is not enough, I want to spend my whole life with you. I know that my performance in the early stage is mediocre, and it is difficult for people to trust me. I will correct it in the future until you believe me." until."

He sighed, and shifted his gaze to Lu Qingchen's left ear: "I said before, I will go wherever you are. If you don't want to leave, you can invite an expert to come over for the operation, and it's up to you."

He remembered that night again, he actually saw blood in Lu Qingchen's ear, bright red blood dripped down the earlobe, and the air was screaming with pain.

I also remembered that there were signs early on. Lu Qingchen was sometimes slow, and often did not respond to some of his own words. This was a manifestation of hearing loss, but he ignored it repeatedly, leading to his current fate.He felt really uncomfortable, turned his head and stopped looking at him, hating himself for being such a jerk.

Cause and effect are born by oneself, but pain is imposed on another person.

"Qingchen, if you are really afraid that I will be sad, then I will be selfish again. Even if it is for me, do the operation well, and let me take care of you for the rest of the day!"

The surgery was finally scheduled at a private hospital in Pingzhou.Shen Junhuai finally succeeded with various weird reasons such as the inconvenience of experts coming and the lack of advanced equipment.In fact, Lu Qingchen's seven inches were tightly controlled by him. He knew that the other party was most afraid of causing trouble to others. If he tried hard on it, Lu Qingchen would easily give in.

Back in Pingzhou, there are still many things to do.Shen Jun is confident that Lu Qingchen will come according to his own plan, but he is not happy.Such a soft person, how could I be willing to let him suffer so much.In fact, he also knew that although Lu Qingchen was soft, he was full of tenacity, and every weakness was under his control, which allowed him to work hard for so many years and become his obedient and obedient lover.

It's a pity that he understood it too late, some injuries were like a gap, lying in front of them, and it took the rest of his life to repair them.

The day when we left Kaizhi, the weather was fine, Aunt Li Shuli held Lu Qingchen's hand very reluctantly, and the words of parting made everyone's eyes red.The children also came to see him off, pestering Teacher Lu to come back often.

As for whether he can come back after the operation, Lu Qingchen actually has no idea. With Shen Junhuai's character, he might not be allowed to come back to this kind of place again. If you make a concession, you will back down step by step.

There is no way, he has never been able to refuse Shen Junhuai.The previous departure was already his most deviant feat.

It's useless to be afraid, just don't think about anything, if the future is still dark, then at most one more time will be swallowed by darkness.

There is no worse situation.

Shen Junhuai donated a large sum of money to Qizhi before leaving, the amount is unknown.But Principal Cai was very grateful during his speech, and planned to renovate the school building in the next few years, buy some learning hardware for the children, and hire more teachers and service personnel, at least Aunt Li Shuli will not be so tired.

Lu Qingchen also went with him, but on the way back, he was thinking about whether to take out the money he saved from painting and painting to supplement Shen Junhuai. The money he earned over the years was stored in the bank card and stayed in the house in Pingzhou .There is not much money, but it is useless to keep it. I think I can owe less.

So after having lunch on the plane, he picked a time when everyone was more relaxed, and Lu Qingchen spoke.

"I still have some money, I will transfer it to you when I return to Pingzhou. Just treat it... I have also contributed to the school."

Shen Junhuai was a little puzzled at first why he made such a statement, but after thinking about it again, he understood.

Shen Junhuai was about to laugh angrily at his thoughts, but after thinking about it, during the years they were together, Lu Qingchen had hardly spent a penny on him, and his requirements for life were as simple as possible.The two of them have never traveled together, nor have they purchased large items such as real estate or cars together, let alone exchanged expensive gifts.No wonder Lu Qingchen made such a clear distinction.

From money to other things, usually some things that I don't pay attention to come into my mind.

In fact, Lu Qingchen gave Shen Junhuai gifts every year on his birthday, which were about ties, cufflinks, wallets, etc. In Shen Junhuai's eyes, they might be ordinary gifts, but to Lu Qingchen, they were a lot of money.On the other hand, I am busy with projects and experiments every day, and I don’t even have any memory of Lu Qingchen’s birthday. I only remember one or two occasions when he came home late, and Lu Qingchen waited alone at the dining table with a small cake.After seeing him come back, he would say that today is his birthday with embarrassment, and then ask for blessings.How Shen Junhuai responded, he himself forgot, it was probably a perfunctory saying happy birthday or something like that, or maybe he would say something later and make up for the birthday present.

But it never materialized.

I really can't blame Shen Junhuai for this. He doesn't have the string of love in his mind, and he is the kind of person who has no sense of ritual in life. In the limited time of life, not talking nonsense and doing nonsense has always been his life principle. Romance is insulated here.

Su Changxian was right, he lost his wife based on his strength.

So he smiled and said, "Okay!" Then he changed the subject and said, "I have used a lot of connections and expenses for the year I have been looking for you, and you have to bear part of it. Also, the house in Pingzhou is my responsibility." I also bought it. Also, I invested in Hanxing and bought a gallery in country M. Oh, and also, I also customized a newest Roma with your name printed on it. All of the above are yours I bought it by name, and I bought it for you, I have to calculate the cost..." Shen Junhuai looked at him leisurely, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the emotion in his eyes couldn't tell whether it was real or not.

Lu Qingchen was stunned, with that "stupid" expression again.

I only heard Shen Junhuai say again: "If you can repay these, it is estimated that you will sell your paintings for a lifetime. And—"

As soon as he said there was more, Lu Qingchen instinctively straightened his back, and became nervous again, not knowing what huge debts would fall on his head.

Shen Junhuai laughed, directly pinched his cheeks with his hands, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "It may not be enough to sell paintings, it may be enough to add people."

Once an old man who has achieved success in his career becomes successful in love, he will easily become a well-dressed beast or a gentle scum.

Shen Junhuai's unconventional style of handling affairs made Lu Qingchen blush for a while.He faltered and couldn't speak, so he simply shut up.

After a long time, I finally couldn't help it: "You..."

"Yes." Shen Junhuai looked at him, knowing what he wanted to ask without listening to him finish, "I bought them all in the year you disappeared. I'm afraid that you won't find your home when you come back, and I'm also afraid of the places and traces of your life It was erased by others, so I bought the house." He said and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Everyone said that you are no longer in this world and will not come back, but I think, no matter where you are, If there is still a place worthy of your miss, maybe one day you will be willing to come back.

"Even though there are a lot of unhappy memories out there, there's really nothing else I can do."

"The gallery, the car, and Han Xing are all gifts for you. I thought I would tell you later. But you are anxious to settle the accounts with me, so let's settle the accounts together now!"

"Reckon to me every day of your future! It won't be settled until we become old men and die together."
