Pei Zhuo fell into a deep sleep and woke up at 9:30 in the morning.
Lu Lin picked out the movie tickets for the afternoon and sent the QR code to his WeChat early.
Pei Zhuo rubbed his hair and called him again before he fell asleep.
"woke up?"
Pei Zhuo gave a long hum.
When he was half asleep and half awake, the texture of his voice was a bit sandy, which sounded very attractive.
Lu Lin was writing a lesson plan, but he felt helpless when he heard this voice: "Teacher Pei."
He knows he does it on purpose.
Pei Zhuo smiled and said, "I won't bother you, I'll be busy first."
Lu Lin actually liked his mischievous nature very much, while he was still copying key paragraphs with a rustling pen, he held the phone and said, "What do you want for lunch?"
"I made a reservation in advance yesterday to eat Italian food." Pei Zhuo stretched out his hand to rub A Mao's little head: "Did Mr. Lu miss me today?"
"I've thought about it." Lu Lin said calmly, "I thought about it all night."
The restaurant that Pei Zhuo picked is a bit out of the way, and even the seats in the lobby have to be reserved in advance.
This kind of shop is actually very picky about customers, but the dishes are indeed exquisite and authentic.
Both of them were wearing casual formal clothes, and they looked like a pair of models when they walked in together, and they looked like a good match.
Lu Lin had never been here before, Pei Zhuo took the menu and explained in a low voice, and chose a grilled shrimp quinoa salad, a mushroom soup and squid ink pasta for him.
The waiter quickly took the order, arranged the pre-dinner bread and fruit tea, and left with a slight bow.
"Their dipping sauce is very special," Pei Zhuo said in a low voice, "I ordered the Tomato Besto. Teacher Lu can try some later, it's different from other homemade ones."
Lu Lin was still staring at him, but he withdrew his eyes for a while, and slowly tasted the taste of this cup of tea.
Pei Zhuo thought he was stained with something dirty, and subconsciously touched his face.
The man pushed the tissue to the side and said unhurriedly, "Ms. Pei's eyelashes are so long."
Pei Zhuo was a little shy when he heard this, he was about to say something when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, and his eyes fixed for a moment.
Before the man turned around, Pei Zhuo picked up the menu and covered his face, pretending to concentrate on looking at the dessert.
Lu Lin wanted to look back, but was stopped by Pei Zhuo: "Don't look back, absolutely don't look back, just wait for him to leave."
In half a minute, Pei Hongchuan greeted his friends and strolled over by himself.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Pei?" He said with a smile, "Dining here with your friends?"
Pei Zhuo silently put the menu aside and coughed dryly: "Yes, what a coincidence."
Lu Lin vaguely felt that the middle-aged man was very familiar with Teacher Pei, and asked, "Teacher Pei?"
"Hello, hello, I'm also a parent, and I haven't seen it before." Pei Hongchuan shook hands with Lu Lin generously, pulled a chair and sat next to them, and said with a smile, "This is Teacher Lu, right?"
Both father and son of the Pei family chose places to eat, and they both liked this restaurant, so they happened to bump into this restaurant.
Pei Zhuo didn't expect his father to stay at home on weekends and bring his friends who play golf to make a fuss.
Pei Hongchuan didn't expect that his son said that he had to work overtime on weekends to write lesson plans, but he came to date his boyfriend.
The father was still very concerned about his son's relationship status, coughed twice and asked again: "You are teachers, are you busy recently?"
Lu Lin answered cautiously: "It may be better after the parent meeting is over."
Pei Zhuo blocked the words: "I'm busy too, and I have to prepare for the chorus competition and the speech competition."
I don't have time to come back on weekends to listen to your glorious struggle history, so you go with Aunt Huo.
Pei Hongchuan took the glass of water handed by the waiter, and pretended to be curious: "Mr. Pei, don't you teach English?"
Pei Zhuo hadn't been teased by his father for many years, so he said with a straight face, "It's an English song."
"Hey, your teacher has difficulties. Parents like me must be considerate." Pei Hongchuan smiled and said, "Who is your head teacher?"
"It's me." Lu Lin asked, "Are you also from this year?"
Although all the home visits were over, the parents did not actually see them all. Some parents were busy with work and might not be able to see them until graduation.
"Hahaha, I just asked casually." Pei Hongchuan felt that Teacher Lu looked upright, and his conversation and behavior were quite decent, so he got up and said, "Then you two have dinner first, and I will go back to accompany my friends."
Pei Zhuoliang swished: "Eat more, don't choke."
"No, no, the portion here is small."
When Pei Hongchuan walked away, Lu Lin asked, "Are you familiar with this parent?"
"Oh, father-son relationship." Pei Zhuo took a sip of fruit tea and said, "He was watching you the whole time just now."
Lu Lin's movements froze, and he subconsciously wanted to straighten his appearance: "I just..."
"You're good anywhere. After he dares to be picky, don't even think about seeing Ah Mao." Pei Zhuo turned his head to look at the table in the corner, and Pei Hongchuan was still holding a slice of bread and waving at him: "I have been a teacher for several years, why now? Feels like being caught in a puppy love?"
Lu Lin didn't expect to see his parents so soon, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Small things," Pei Zhuo knew that he was a little nervous, so he calmed him down, "My dad is a very optimistic person. Even if I elope with a rock player and go abroad, he will ask me to remember to send some postcards back."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone turned on again.

Within two seconds, Huo Lu also sent a WeChat message: Brother! You are exposed!
Pei Zhuo replied: It's about the same, thanks to the fact that I'm wearing formal clothes today.
Huo Lu: Our dad said that Chief Lu is handsome and stable.
Pei Zhuo: I haven't settled for you for pretending to be sick last time.
Huo Lu: Hello, the other party is not your contact at the moment, please add a friend before sending a message
Pei Zhuo: You forgot to put a period.
Huo Lu:.
After watching the movie, they stopped by to buy a lot of things and drove back to Lu Lin's house.
By the way, I brought four boxes of daily necessities, and this time I chose 001 ultra-thin.
Every time Pei Zhuo gets closer to Lu Lin, he feels exhausted, so he just goes to his house to help clean up the house, and the two of them cook together for the weekend.
Lu Lin lives in a small house, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The coffee cups are soaked in a dark brown color. It is estimated that there is often no time to wash them, and it is easy to leave them for a long time.
The house is small, but the sense of intimacy in the secular life is stretched a lot.
Pei Zhuo helped him sort out a large pile of teaching references on the dining table, and he still remembered making fun of him casually: "Does Teacher Lu sleep on the sofa with a quilt?"
Lu Lin replied fluently: "That depends on whether Teacher Pei is cold in my arms."
They cleaned up and stored the redundant manuscript materials, and threw away a pile of old things that were not used by the way.
"Duanshe has a lot of space away from home, right?" Pei Zhuo wiped the frame of the group photo that was taped and put it away. Hearing the aroma of cut oranges, he was suddenly a little reluctant to leave.
Although it's only Saturday today, I didn't go back until Monday.
But it would be nice to live together forever. But thinking about it this way... wouldn't it be very greedy
It was still early to cook, so Lu Lin led him to look at the bookshelf in his room.
Before meeting Pei Zhuo, his life was plain and simple.
It's not that he deliberately saves money. It's true that he doesn't have many hobbies other than reading books and practicing calligraphy.
The room faces south, and the size of the single bed is just right.
The bookshelves were added after moving in, with half a window for classical literature and the other half for foreign literature.
When they went to Xidan Book Building earlier, Pei Zhuo seriously explained the differences between several publishing houses in China. Although Lu Lin couldn't help but look at him, he actually listened to him and avoided all the minefields.
Pei Zhuo was a little bit greedy when he saw several books that he didn't buy on his book list.
"Ms. Lu, can you lend me two copies?"
Lu Lin didn't speak for a moment.
Pei Zhuo laughed at him: "I'll return it to you after reading it, I can't bear it."
The man reached out and took the two books out of the shelf with a gentle voice.
"I originally wanted to send you off."
"Mr. Qian Zhongshu said that books can only be borrowed, not given away."
"I have to pay back if I borrowed it. Once I am born again, I am familiar with it twice." Lu Lin put the book in his palm, his eyes were like ink: "One book can be used as an excuse for two contacts, and there is no trace."
Pei Zhuo hugged the book in his arms, and said for a while, "Mr. Lu, I used to think you were serious and serious."
"Now that I think about it, when a serious person talks about love, even if it's unintentional, it's alluring."
Lu Lin smiled and kissed his lips: "My heart is with you."
Pei Zhuo spent the weekend with him, and the dog was naturally taken away by Huo Lu with the spare key. I heard that her puppet cat nearly scratched his nose.
When he brought Amao back on Monday, Huo Lu had an ambiguous expression on his face: "My father and mother are waiting to hear gossip, you evaporated for two days on the weekend, should you tell the truth?"
The two brothers and sisters went home for dinner and explained the current situation in general.
Father Pei worried for four or five years in a row, because he was afraid that his son would be too lonely. Later, when something happened in the experiment, he became even more worried, thinking about how to abduct the child to the company several times to live a peaceful life.
Now seeing Lu Lin suddenly, it seemed like he had taken a reassurance, and he stopped talking to Pei Zhuo in the WeChat group all day long.
"Your father, tell me when you come back," Aunt Huo helped them with food, and then served a bowl of vermicelli soup for Dad Pei: "He has been in business for decades, and he knows his face best."
Huo Lu knocked Ah Mao's head off, and asked curiously, "Then what does Teacher Lu look like?"
"Very heroic, a down-to-earth person." Pei Hongchuan put down his chopsticks and said, "You should look for this kind of person when you're in love, Lulu, do you know that?"
Pei Zhuo peeled the quail eggs and fed them to A Mao, curiously asked: "Is it safe at a glance?"
"There's nothing you can do if you don't worry, you kid is wild." Papa Pei said slowly, "I've talked about it and still kept it from me. If I didn't go there on Saturday, I probably won't know about it next year."
After dinner was over and they went home separately, Pei Zhuo regained his composure, feeling warm in his heart.
The family's acceptance of Lu Lin is one, and what Dad said is the second.
Lu Lin is such a good person, handsome, delicate and considerate.
If I hadn't just transferred to this class, I might never have met him in my life.
Sometimes Pei Zhuo thinks things very slowly, and it takes a long time before he turns a corner.
He knew that Lu Lin cherished him warmly all the time, and he seemed to have suddenly realized it until today.
Lu Lin is not a precious part of his life.
It seems that I cannot live without him in my life from now on.
Pei Zhuo was really enlightened at this moment, instead he had a mixed feeling of holding a treasure, liking it in his heart but fearing it would break.
After a while, I will have to recollect it slowly.
Amao fell asleep with the ball in his arms, Pei Zhuo sat alone for a long time and didn't feel sleepy, so he picked up the two books he borrowed from Lu Lin, and leaned against the bed to read slowly.
I just saw Zhang Ailing's "Love in a Fallen City".
He read the part where Liu Yuan called to say I love you in the middle of the night, after scanning two or three lines, his chest felt hot.
The book talks about war, parting, and the temptation and wandering between lovers.
After reading page by page, he was always thinking about Lu Lin.
Suddenly, I miss him very much.
It was already two forty-five.
Pei Zhuo took a deep breath, then picked up his cell phone and dialed it.
The other party was already sound asleep and did not answer the first few calls.
Pei Zhuo's face was hot, and he felt that he wanted to disturb Lu Lin's sleep suddenly, and wanted to hang up the phone with his head down.
"Teacher Pei?" Lu Lin answered and called in a low voice; "Did you have a nightmare?"
Pei Zhuo was silent for a while, then said dryly: "I was watching "Love in a Fallen City" just now."
Lu Lin's drowsiness subsided, he understood his intention, and said slowly: "Okay, I'll wait."
Pei Zhuo never said these three words, and now his heart beat faster, and he couldn't even take care of his breathing.
"… I love you."
Lu Lin seemed to be Teacher Lu again, holding the phone late at night, every word was low and gentle when guiding him: "Mr. Pei, you should hang up the phone."
Pei Zhuo hurriedly hung up the phone, counted the seconds and waited for a while, then dialed the phone again like Liu Yuan did.
This time Lu Lin quickly picked it up.
"I forgot to ask you." When Pei Zhuo repeated this line, he could almost hear his rapid breathing: "Do you love me?"
Holding the phone, Lu Lin took a deep breath.
"Love."
He was afraid that he could not hear clearly enough, so he repeated it again.
"Pei Zhuo, I love you so much."
