Balancing

After resigning from the dinner, it was the third day that Jian Ming saw Jiang Luchuan again. In the past few days, one of them was busy with school, the other was busy with purchasing and furnishing a new house, and they couldn't see each other at home. Jian Ming admitted that he intentionally avoided Jiang Luchuan, leaving early and returning late every day. , try not to meet him.

There are some things that Jian Ming hasn't thought about yet, and he must face them, but he hopes that before he talks to Jiang Luchuan, he can have more confirmation and supporting evidence. It's not suitable right now, Jian Ming knows it very well, but today is the weekend , the two inevitably met.

Early in the morning, Jiang Luchuan was busy in the kitchen, stewed duck soup, and made a nutritious breakfast.

When Jian Ming came out of the wash, Jiang Luchuan happened to put the last fried Soviet-style fried dumplings on the table.

"You smell the smell, kid. It's really suitable. I made your favorite Su-style fried dumplings today. It's been a long time since I ate them. Come and eat. I'll serve porridge." Jiang Luchuan was in a good mood, looking at the rice on the table. You will know the rich breakfast variety.

Jian Ming walked to the dining table and sat down, looking at Jiang Luchuan with a springy face, his mood was rather complicated, "There are so many, I can't waste it." In addition to fried dumplings and shredded chicken porridge, there are green onion pancakes and hot spring eggs on the table , Jian Ming felt that Jiang Luchuan had some happy event, and he had never seen him so excited when he first returned to China.

"It's almost ten o'clock, let's eat more and have lunch together." Jiang Luchuan smiled and suggested.

Jian Ming nodded with a smile, didn't speak any more, and started to eat with his head down.

Jiang Luchuan put a fried dumpling on Jian Ming’s plate while drinking the porridge, “Let’s go to the nursing home to see Jian Qi if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, and take a pot of old duck soup with you. The nursing home doesn’t have any good soup. When you were away before , I often send stewed soup, and I am busy during this time, and I just have a rest today, are you free?"

Jian Ming hated Leng Feng very much in his heart at the moment. Without his lack of words, everything Jiang Luchuan did to their brothers and sisters was undoubtedly the warmth and meticulousness that can only be given by close relatives. In fact, even now, Jian Ming is still Full of emotion, he even hypothesized N reasons why Jiang Luchuan would appear at the scene of his parents' death. If it wasn't because he couldn't find the reason why he concealed himself in the end, Jian Ming didn't want to make any more guesses about the person in front of him.

Jian Ming even thought about it, what if Leng Feng was talking nonsense?

"Okay, let's go together this afternoon."

Jiang Luchuan nodded, "The last time I told you about the criminal investigation team, how do you think about it? No matter what you do in the United States, you are still a new face in China. This is a good opportunity to accumulate experience, which will benefit your future academic work. Extension is also very helpful, I can make an agreement with Team Lu, no matter what, we will meet next week and get to know each other." He drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, and continued: "Also, Gu Tao has already beaten several The call comes, and we must be invited to dinner, so I can't push it any further, you can spare some time tomorrow night, let's go together."

Hearing these dinners one after another, Jian Ming couldn't help but feel a headache. He understood that it was like this in the country. Human relations should be fulfilled everywhere. He knew it very well, but he really didn't like it.

"Okay, you can agree, I have no problem." Many things are like this, and compromise is also part of survival. "By the way, the soft furnishings and furniture for the house over there will be finished in another week. I don't know if Director He will be here in the afternoon. I want to formally say hello to Kiki over the weekend."

Jiang Luchuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Jian Ming, "You are going to officially move out and become independent, right? You are so old, and you will live with me again. It will be inconvenient for you to find a girlfriend to get home." Although it was a joke, The tone was a bit off-putting.

"That's not the case. I just want to spend time with Qiqi every week, and it's convenient to observe her situation. Besides, I don't want to move out, let's live on both sides." Jian Ming looked at his temples. Bai's Jiang Luchuan couldn't bear it, to be honest, Jiang Luchuan was right, he just wanted to be independent, not what Leng Feng said, he thought so too.

"It's nothing. I'm not old-fashioned. It's normal for young people to have their own living space. Anyway, this is your home. You can come back whenever you want, and it's not because you can't see each other. Baichuan, then you have to go to work." Jiang Luchuan was very relieved He smiled, his eyes filled with the understanding of his wisdom over fifty years old.

"Well, I know." Jian Ming didn't say much, as if many words seemed superfluous in front of Jiang Luchuan.

In the afternoon, they went to the nursing home together. Jian Qi was still the same, neither better nor worse. Jian Ming was very disappointed with herself. Jiang Luchuan saw it in his eyes and patted him on the shoulder knowingly. Subtle consolation, "Don't worry, there are so many experts, there is nothing they can do in 16 years, how long have you taken action? If this gets better, the faces of those experts will have to be hidden."

"You don't know, I'm ashamed about that kid Lu Heng." Jiang Luchuan quickly made an analogy. "You have only taken over for such a short time, and he will be able to return to the team. If he is not an old friend with Gu Tao, he might have suspected that I was playing tricks and making jokes in those three years."

Jian Ming was silent, it was difficult for him to answer this, how could he answer it, saying that Lu Heng's improvement was largely due to emotional transfer?In love?Or to be more direct, just say that Lu Heng fell in love with someone, coincidentally, it was me?

Seeing Jian Ming's embarrassment, Jiang Luchuan turned his face and smiled: "I'm just praising you, don't act like I'm sorry, I've never questioned your ability, so I believe Jian Qi's illness It's just a matter of time, and you can do it."

Which ancestor said, don't talk about people during the day?Just as Jiang Luchuan finished mentioning that person's name, Jian Ming's phone rang. That's right, it was Police Officer Lu Henglu.

Jian Ming walked out of Jian Qi's room before answering the phone.

"Are you busy?" Lu Heng's etiquette on the phone is getting better and better now, Jian Ming is very comforting, and it's not in vain.

"I'm in the nursing home, looking at my sister."

"Oh, didn't you say you wanted to help Jian Qi look at the bed in the bedroom? Are you going today?"

Ever since he learned that Jian Ming was furnishing a new home, Lu Heng has been very considerate recently, more caring than the owner himself in every aspect. Those who didn't know thought he was furnishing a new house for himself, and sometimes Jian Ming couldn't laugh or cry because of his carefulness.

"Well, I want to go and have a look, you want to go too?"

"What are you talking about, you don't want me to go?" The voice in the second half of the sentence was a little sad.

"No... no, I'm afraid it will be too much trouble for you. You have been traveling with me a lot in the past few days." Jian Ming touched his forehead and hurriedly explained. The attitude seems to be a little different, it seems that I no longer follow one's inclinations, but also care more about the feelings of the other party, to put it badly, it is a bit like 'polite'.

"Mingming, you know, I am happy."

Jian Ming smiled, "Okay, I'll pick you up later, I know there is a good Ouzu City, let's go there and have a look."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home, see you later."

When he hung up the phone, Jian Ming received a text message from Leng Feng, which was very unpleasant and helpless.

[Let's have dinner together tonight, I've made a reservation. 】

He sighed, resisting from the bottom of his heart, until now he still hasn't figured out why in six years, the person he once loved with all his heart will become such a resisting existence, is it just because of time?Or is this person simply wrong?

【Sorry, dinners are arranged for two days this weekend. Let’s have a dinner on Monday. I’ll treat you to dinner. ] Jian Ming still refused. After sending the text message, he was relieved a lot, put his phone in his pocket and entered the room.

In the evening, after Jiang Luchuan was sent home, Jian Ming drove to Lu Heng's house. He seemed to be in a good mood on the road, humming a song. He couldn't see his expression, but if there was anyone next to him, he could feel it. At this time, there was a strong sweet love atmosphere emanating from him.

Lu Heng obviously dressed up to go downstairs today. He wore a tight-fitting white T-shirt with a very fashionable denim jacket over it. The jeans on his lower body were darker in color, showing his long and straight legs even more.Jian Ming watched the vigorous person walking towards him, and he couldn't restrain his joy. He knew that this must be his liking.

"Have you had your hair cut?" As he approached, Jian Ming found that the slightly long hair in the middle of Lu Heng's head had been shaved into a square inch, and a small shape was deliberately pushed out at the ear temples.His face is sharp and angular, his eyebrows are thick, his nose is straight, and his complexion is a healthy wheat color. This hairstyle blends perfectly with his temperament, and it matches perfectly.

Lu Heng was a little shy, "Well, I'll be back in the team next week. This hairstyle is convenient, easy to take care of, and dries quickly after sweating."

"What's above your ear? Lightning?"

"Hey, tell that master not to fix this for me. He keeps saying that it's popular now, so you have to make it for me. It's pretty ugly, right." Lu Heng touched the lightning subconsciously, with regret on his face.

"No, it's just that you suddenly look a few years younger." Jian Ming laughed, since the other party has self-knowledge, it's not easy to hit him again, and he must be kind.

"Get in the car, let's go to Ouzu City for dinner." Jian Ming stretched out his hand from the car window and patted Lu Heng Yuanyuan's head, urging him to get in the car.

When they arrived at their destination, they didn't waste too much time eating. There was an old lady's dumplings downstairs in Ouzu City. They ordered two plates of dumplings and filled their stomachs. The two of them went straight to the Furniture City on the fourth floor.

This Ouzu City is very large, and the entire four floors are divided into several large areas to display a wide range of high-end custom furniture.Except for the sofa in the living room and a set of dining tables that were pre-ordered from the original Italian factory, Jian Ming has not bought anything else yet. He and Lu Heng have gone to a few decoration cities to buy some small pieces to prepare the furniture for his bedroom and sister's bedroom. It's all solved here.

They went directly to the bedroom area and showed my sister several beds, but they were not very satisfied, either too retro or too gorgeous. Jian Ming always felt that it was a little bit off. For no reason, he seemed to know that his sister would not like those, until He and Lu Heng saw a milky white high-back palace bed at the same time.

"Did it shine?" Lu Heng glanced at Jian Ming with surprise, as if looking for approval.

This palace bed is different from other European-style beds with complex carvings and patterns. It is relatively simple, with several simple intersecting lines embedded in the outer edge of the back of the bed. The feet of the bed are specially designed to be curved, similar to a medieval princess bed. The milky white is very warm, and it feels like a good night's dream when you look at it.

"Well, I think Qiqi will like it." Jian Mingben's dejected expression suddenly relaxed.

He walked over, touched the back of the bed, sat on the mattress, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved into a beautiful arc, and within a few minutes he made a decision, "Just this one, don't choose, trust your eyes. "Looking up and seeing Lu Heng staring at him intently, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why, you don't feel good?"

Lu Heng smiled with tenderness in his eyes, "No, I think the same as you."

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"I just think you look like you now..." Lu Heng approached him, covering his cheek with his hand and stroking back and forth, "It's very soft, like cotton candy."

"Oh, is it sweet?" Jian Ming was delighted.

"Sweet, so sweet."

Jian Ming grabbed his hand that was rubbing against his face, and pinched it hard, "You should take advantage of this opportunity, this is a public place, Officer Lu." After finishing speaking, he ignored him and went to the service desk to find someone billing.

Lu Heng stupidly followed, and when billing and paying, he stretched out the card before Jian Ming.

"I gave it to my sister, don't snatch it." He stepped aside Jian Ming very forcefully, and signaled to the service desk staff to hurry up.

Jian Ming couldn't laugh or cry again, "Hey, Lu Heng, figure it out, she is my younger sister." What he feared most in his life was arguing with others when paying the bill.

"What's yours is mine." Lu Heng's lips curled up, and he blinked at him with a single eye, a perfect look directly stunned Jian Ming who was stunned.

"..."

Jian Ming would still remember Lu Heng's expression after a long time, and that look, accidentally became a lifetime.

After buying the most difficult bed, other things will be very efficient. After a while, I bought everything for my sister's bedroom.Jian Ming was silent, as if he hadn't looked at the bed in his room yet, and time was running out, so he turned around and said to Lu Heng, "You're tired, I think the door will be closed, so don't look at my things." , let’s talk about it another day.”

"Well, you don't need to look at your bed." Lu Heng said abruptly, and Jian Ming was once again stunned.

"Wait... Tell me, what the hell are you doing?" Jian Ming stood still, looking as if he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

"Mingming, don't be so serious, I just want to give us something that belongs to us together," he grinned cheekily, "Think about it... the bed is the most suitable."

"Lu, Heng..." Jian Ming couldn't hold back his anger, and immediately regretted revealing to him that he was going to buy a new house. "What the hell are you thinking, are you on the bed?"

"No, no, I know you have to be in a hurry with me." Lu Heng dragged him to the elevator at the door, "You just obey me, this is the last time, I just have such a wish, don't refuse it, okay?" With a coquettish voice, Jian Ming was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Mingming, I just want to be nice to you. Really, I have no other intentions." Lu Heng opened his small eyes, and his mouth was full of sweet words, sugar-coated bullets.

Baby Mingming, if you fall asleep on the bed I sent you, are you afraid that you won't miss me?I'll send it off, and don't even think about running away after I send it off, I will draw a talisman under the bed to keep you in check for the rest of my life.

Lu Heng's true mental state is like this.

"You..." Jian Ming rolled his eyes, unable to look directly at the psychopath in front of him.

Lu Heng rubbed against Jian Ming with a shy face, with a flattering attitude, without any concealment.

When he took a step forward, Jian Ming took a step forward, and when he took another step forward, Jian Ming took another step forward. The two immature children had a great time playing.

Just as they were immersed in the pink bubbles in the sky, a man wearing a peaked cap and mask was holding a telephoto camera in the far corner, and pressed the shutter at them frequently.

Sure enough, people in love, the whole world can only see each other...
