Shen Kuo calmly listened to every word Lu Zhen said, with no expression on his face, and his dark eyes became darker and deeper under the dim light.
During the process of Lu Zhen's narration, Liang Ting couldn't hold back, and would interrupt to add a few words from time to time—
"Lu Yan didn't hide it from you from the beginning, she kept calling you Uncle Shen, didn't she?"
So Ye Jiaqi added fuel and jealousy: "She doesn't belong to this era. Speaking of which, Shen Kuo, she is really from your daughter's generation."
Liang Ting said angrily: "Speaking of which, you are also her uncle, why didn't you see her as your niece!"
"Xiaoyan didn't call me uncle at the beginning, she called me brother Jiaqi. You are deaf and didn't hear it, or you are jealous, Uncle Liang Ting."
"You're fucking disgusting."
Lu Zhen slammed the table: "Can you two go out and argue! Come in after you have had enough!"
The two immediately shut up and looked at Shen Kuo at the same time.
Shen Kuo sat on the sofa expressionlessly, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Zhen poured him a glass of wine, overwhelmed with shock, and suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had told him not to let Chen Kuo drink, as he would pour it down after a few drinks.
He silently put the glass away again.
Shen Kuo didn't speak all the time, and if he didn't speak, Lu Zhen naturally didn't dare to speak, and looked at him anxiously.
Shen Kuo clenched and loosened his hands, and what echoed in his mind... was Ye Jiaqi's sentence "At the beginning she approached you only to help Lu Zhen".
Yes, at that time, he was downcast and lonely, and all the students in the school, male or female, avoided him.
How could anyone really like a guy like him.
Lu Yan was the first... girl who didn't mind his personality and background, and he was grateful to her from the bottom of his heart until now.
So even if her surname is Lu, he can fall in love with her without hesitation, and he can reconcile with Lu Zhen forever for her not to dislike her back then.
So now, has the goal finally been achieved
Shen Kuo clenched his fists, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe it, he just felt ironic...
Lu Zhen looked at the back of his veined hands and said worriedly: "It's really unbelievable. I never thought that I would have a daughter as old as myself. It took me several months to... Really accept, so, I understand your feelings."
Do you understand, how does he understand, a guy who grew up in love and care, how does he understand everything he has experienced.
How does he understand betrayal
Shen Kuo's eyes were cold, and he was about to leave when he got up. Lu Zhen immediately reached out to hold him back: "Shen Kuo, about my sister..."
"What does it have to do with me?"
Shen Kuo read these four words coldly, pulled Lu Zhen's hand away forcefully, and left the private room without looking back.
After Shen Kuo left, Ye Jiaqi turned around to leave, but Liang Ting rushed forward and kicked him on the waist, Ye Jiaqi was prepared and dodged perfectly.
"Damn you!"
Liang Ting couldn't take it anymore, and rushed forward to beat him up. Lu Zhen had quick eyes and quick hands, and hugged him lazily: "Don't be impulsive!"
Liang Ting looked at Ye Jiaqi angrily, and said word by word: "You expected it a long time ago, all of this is your plan, you are not trying to get Lu Xiaomei back, you are just trying to make Shen Kuo crazy!"
Lu Zhen let go of Liang Ting, and looked at Ye Jiaqi in disbelief: "Is he serious?"
The corner of Ye Jiaqi's mouth grinned: "My dad taught me since I was a child that what doesn't belong to me... can be snatched."
Liang Ting panted, with deep hatred in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Even if it hurts her, I won't hesitate, right?"
Ye Jiaqi didn't answer, the two looked at each other with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Lu Zhen rushed over, grabbed Ye Jiaqi's collar, and asked fiercely, "Ye Jiaqi, what the hell are you trying to do!"
Liang Ting really didn't want to see this bastard for a minute, so he turned and walked out of the private room: "This bastard wants to be your son."
Shen Kuo didn't know how he got home, and when he opened the door, he forgot to turn on the light, and he stood alone in the dark for an unknown how long.
Suddenly feel very tired.
Dragging his tired body, he walked into the room and took out an iron box from the bottom of the cabinet.
The surface of the iron box is sometimes rusted by time, and it contains my father's watch, Lu Yan's graduation certificate photo, and all the beautiful and precious memories of the past.
At the bottom of these sundries, there is a new version of RMB bills.
Shen Kuo still remembers the first time they met. He and Lu Zhen were fighting in the billiard room. The little girl followed Lu Zhen all the time. The police came and the scene was chaotic. Think about it, carry her and leave the billiard room like a chicken.
Later, the little girl said that she was Lu Zhen's younger sister, apologized on his behalf, and gave him a handful of small change bills, among which... this new hundred-yuan bill was mixed.
Shen Kuo took the banknote under the desk lamp, and saw that the embossed watermark on it was engraved with the serial number of the date, 2025.
This is a banknote from 2025, which proves that everything Lu Zhen said is true.
The truth is actually around, but he has never discovered it.
Suddenly there was a rage that had no place to vent in his heart, Shen Kuo crumpled the coin into a ball and threw it out violently!
The ball of paper hit the wall, rebounded, and finally rolled to the corner of the room.
He knew that Lu Yan had something to hide from him, and he asked several times, but she always talked about him.
In fact, with their relationship, there is no need to hide anything, anything, he can forgive her. He loves her without principle and reason, even if she wants to kill someone, he can go to jail for her...
Only deception is something that Shen Kuo will never forgive in this life.
Shen Kuo slammed his fist on the table, and the iron box made a buzzing noise, and his whole arm went numb.
Just at this time, the phone rang suddenly, without looking at the screen, just listening to the ringtone, you knew that the call was Lu Yan.
Lu Yan would always call him at night, and the two of them chatted in bed until late at night, sometimes she fell asleep, and Shen Kuo was reluctant to hang up the phone, he liked to hear her breathing.
Calm and long, as if she was sleeping next to her.
Shen Kuo looked at her flashing name on the phone screen, and finally answered the call.
Lu Yan didn't seem to know anything, so she asked at the first sentence: "What are you doing, it took you so long to answer the phone."
Shen Kuo pursed his lips, did not speak, clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing was dull and stagnant.
A trace of worry rose in Lu Yan's heart: "Shen Kuo, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Kuo finally breathed out, and finally said: "It's late at night, I think of some past things."
With his fingertips, he picked up her graduation certificate photo in the iron box.
He accidentally saw this on the campus commendation wall, tore it off without hesitation, and kept it for himself.
The girl in the photo is wearing a blue and white school uniform, showing a green and sweet smile, with slightly curved eyebrows and clear eyes, like a summer wind passing through his life, turning all his youth into summer Mint green undertone.
She was once the collection of all the good things in his life.
But all of these, if there is a certain purpose, will completely change color, make him tremble and make him...
anger.
"It's very late now, Lu Yan." His voice was slightly hoarse, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions.
Lu Yan lay on the window sill and said to him, "Come to the window."
Shen Kuo obediently walked to the window lattice.
"look up."
He raised his head and saw a cold full moon, cloudless tonight, and the moonlight was exceptionally clear.
"Shen Kuo, can you see the moon through your window?"
"Can."
Lu Yan smiled: "The moon is so beautiful tonight."
Shen Kuo looked at the moon, and he suddenly wanted to ask her, if she couldn't predict the future, would she still be close to him in those years.
The humble him.
"Shen Kuo, do you love me?"
For some reason, the girl suddenly felt uneasy, and she blushed and asked him this shameful question.
Shen Kuo narrowed his eyes, and tightly clenched the window frame until the veins on the back of his hand popped.
"Love." His voice was hoarse, and he used almost all his strength to say the word.
No one loves you like I do, and I will never fall in love with anyone else in this life.
"Shen Kuo, I'll come to you tomorrow. Auntie steamed a very delicious jujube cake. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. It's really delicious."
Shen Kuo could see her crooked smiling eyes from the girl's words.
"What time is it tomorrow?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Well, let me think about it, tomorrow morning, I'll come when I get up."
"I'm waiting for you."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Kuo clutched her photo tightly in his palms, wrinkled.
His anger clings to every desire in his body, and he wants to do something, something he's long wanted to do.
Lu Yan got up early in the morning, pestering Aunt Li to make yesterday's jujube cake again.
The delicious jujube cake came out yesterday, and Lu Zhen unexpectedly lost his appetite, so Lu Yan ate it all.
Aunt Li smiled and said, "You little glutton ate everything yesterday, and you haven't eaten enough yet."
Lu Yan said shyly, "I want to...bring it to my friend to taste."
Aunt Li is a hard-working northern woman with dark skin, long hands and legs, thick palms, a strong body frame, and quick work.
She loves Lu Yan very much, she will cook whatever the little girl wants to eat, and if she doesn't know how to eat, she buys a recipe and tries it out by herself.
Before Lu Yan said that she wanted to eat chiffon cakes, Aunt Li had never heard of chiffon cakes before, but Lu Yan wanted to eat them, so she bought a copy of "Western-style Cakes". chiffon cake.
She completely treats Lu Yan as her little daughter and loves her. Sometimes Lu Yan really feels that she can't live without Aunt Li for the rest of her life.
She stuck behind Aunt Li, helping her knead the dough and imitating her to make jujube cake.
Aunt Li dusted Lu Yan's nose with flour, and said with a smile, "Is it for Miss Jian Yao?"
"I'll invite her to eat at home next time, not today."
Aunt Li looked at the happiness and sweetness in Lu Yan's eyes, and pretended to be deep and said, "Oh, I see."
"What do you know?"
"Is it for our future son-in-law?"
"Hey..." Lu Yan didn't answer.
Uncle or something, it sounds strange and embarrassing.
Lu Zhen also woke up early, went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and then rushed out, even without breakfast.
Lu Yan hurriedly called to him: "Aunt Li is making jujube cake, you can leave after eating."
"I'm very busy." After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she ran out without looking back. After a while, the sound of a car starting came from the yard.
He drove all of Lu Jian's Mercedes-Benz cars out.
Lu Yan frowned, what are you busy with all day, flustered...
But she didn't think too much, she put the sweet and greasy jujube cake into an insulated box, happily left the house, and rode on her bicycle.
Aunt Li sent her to the gate of the yard and greeted her, "Be careful on the road."
"Okay!"
Facing the mist of the morning sun, Lu Yan stepped on her bicycle and flew out like a gust of wind.
Beautiful morning, beautiful life, at this moment, Lu Yan thinks she is the happiest girl in the world.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yan parked her bicycle in front of Shen Kuo's house.
The door of the room was not closed, Lu Yan knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in: "Shen Kuo, are you at home?"
There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, and he seemed to be taking a shower.
Lu Yan walked into the room and put the thermos box on the table. She wanted to tidy up Shen Kuo's room, but his room was always kept clean and tidy like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. There is no room for her to clean up.
Lu Yan walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked on the door: "Shen Kuo, are you taking a shower?"
In the bathroom, the boy responded dully.
"Then... I'll wait for you."
Lu Yan sat back at the table again, opened the steaming heat preservation box, looked at the fragrant and sweet jujube cake, and swallowed her saliva.
In the bathroom, Shen Kuo was wearing clothes and standing under the shower. The cold water drenched his whole body. His body was tense and his hands were clenched into fists. ice slag.
His dark eyes stared straight ahead without any waves.
When Lu Yan heard the bathroom door open, she quickly turned around and said to him, "Come on, come on, try it, I promise you have never eaten such a delicious jujube cake!"
Before she could react, Shen Kuo had already grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the bedroom.
Lu Yan felt the coldness of his body and skin, and stopped in surprise: "Why do you..."
The insulated box fell to the ground while being pulled, and with a loud noise, the two red date cakes in the box rolled to the ground.
"Shen Kuo!"
Shen Kuo pulled her into the bedroom, threw her on the bed, then pulled the collar of the shirt with his hand, covered it up, and kissed her lips.
Lu Yan didn't know why he was like this suddenly, but she didn't push him away. His whole body was cold, and his skin seemed to be frozen. She couldn't help but hugged him, warming him with her own body temperature.
"You are so cold, are you sick... um..."
He kissed her dazedly, swallowing all her words.
"Shen..."
His hands were dishonest, Lu Yan blushed anxiously, and tried to push him away, but failed.
She already had a premonition of what might happen next, but...it's early in the morning, why, he didn't even ask her what she meant.
He is a bit thick[b], Lu Yan's jaw was pinched red, and a lot of[...]was printed on his neck.
"It hurts, Shen Kuo!"
She begged him bitterly, even crying: "Don't do this, I... I'm scared."
The girl burst into tears, breathing heavily, and her body undulating.
Finally, the boy's movements slowly stopped, seeing the trembling girl in his arms, Shen Kuo's brain exploded.
What is he doing!
are you crazy!
The rationality in his eyes slowly returned, with a hint of panic and bewilderment.
Finally, he let go of her, grabbed the glass on the bed cabinet and threw it out. The glass hit the wall and shattered all over the floor.
With a "pop", the girl's body also shrugged, shrank in a corner, trembling.
She had never seen Shen Kuo lose such a temper.
"sorry!"
The girl didn't dare to stay any longer, she put on her slippers, ran out of the room in a hurry, and apologized indiscriminately: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Although she doesn't know why, she only knows to apologize, she's sorry for him, she's always been sorry...
Raising her eyes in a panic, she saw the black and white photo of Uncle Shen, and she broke down crying and said to the photo, "I'm sorry."
Shen Kuo paused for two minutes, then stepped out of the room suddenly, grabbed the girl, hugged her from behind, and wrapped her in his arms with all his strength.
His hand gently stroked her lips, preventing her from apologizing.
"It's me...it's my fault." His voice was hoarse: "Don't apologize, it's my fault."
He hasn't slept all night, and now his brain is about to explode.
"I don't know what I'm doing, I'm sorry, I won't hurt you."
He would never hurt her, never...
Even if she concealed it from him a million times and ten thousand times, even if she killed him with a knife... he can't hurt her.
Lu Yan's tears fell down and fell on the back of his cold hand: "I will not refuse, as long as you tell me... tell me what you want... I will not refuse you anything, but you It just hurt me."
It terrified her too.
So wronged.
He gently scratched the skin of her neck with the wing of his nose, and said softly, "Don't be afraid of me, I don't want it anymore."
