Before going to the resort, they picked a sunny day to meet Pei Zhuo's mother.
The cemetery is on the mountain, and you have to drive around in circles, as if you are slowly approaching the inner corner that was originally untouchable.
"Normally there are very few people here," Pei Zhuo said as he sat on the co-pilot with a large bunch of peonies in his arms, letting the sun shine on his face: "During Ching Ming Festival and Chinese New Year, cars can be stuck on the mountain for half an hour. Getting up and down is troublesome.”
"Maybe they don't have much free time on weekdays." Lu Lin said, feeling that the wording was not rigorous enough, and whispered: "When you are free, you may not be willing to come here."
Pei Zhuo lowered his eyes to look at the flowers: "Yes."
After all, it is a very sad place.
Even if the tomb of one's deceased relative is decorated warmly and cleanly, there will be tattered paper money and prayer flags scattered nearby, looking messy and sad.
It's hard to take a holiday on weekdays, and I want to take a breath from the heavy life. Few people will come here to bear more sadness.
When they came, they went to the flower shop to choose for a long time, and bought three bouquets in total.
The peonies bloom very romantically, and the colors relax like colorful clouds, carrying the publicity of summer.
Pei Zhuo would come here once a month, and sometimes he would bow and leave after delivering the flowers, and sometimes he would sit by the side and talk softly for a while, and when he went down the mountain, he forgot what he had chatted with his mother.
The woman in the photo was forever left at the age of twenty-six, with a graceful smile.
Peony complements her appearance very well, she looks very youthful.
The two men put the flowers side by side, and tacitly took the rag and wet paper towel to wipe off the dust in the vicinity, and cleaned up the paper scraps and residual flowers left by the people nearby.
When the cleaning was done, they stood up again.
The woman was looking at them tenderly, as if she was standing here right now.
Lu Lin wiped his hands to hold Pei Zhuo's, and the two looked at each other for several seconds.
"Mom." Pei Zhuo looked at the tombstone in a daze, and suddenly squeezed Lu Lin's hand tightly: "This is my lover."
He used the title of lover.
"I have known him for more than a year, and I haven't received a certificate yet."
"We get along very well, and we take care of each other at ordinary times, and the days are getting better every day."
Pei Zhuo was afraid that his tears would flow out, so he hurriedly covered them with the other hand: "I will receive it later, and I will show you the certificate when the time comes, okay?"
Lu Lin quietly accompanied him, listening to him and her talk about these things little by little.
"When I was sure that I wanted to fall in love with him, I wanted to come over and talk to you, but I felt a little embarrassed." Pei Zhuo looked at the black and white photo, trying to maintain a smile: "Look now, is he the same as what I said? good?"
"I have someone I love, will you... rest assured?"
The two of them intertwined their fingers and bowed to the tombstone together.
Pei Zhuo trembled a little, and after a long silence, tears still flowed down silently.
Lu Lin found a tissue with his other hand and wiped his face silently.
"I don't cry very much." Pei Zhuo still wanted to explain: "I just, when I was alone, I often told her that in the future, if there is someone she likes, she must show it to her."
Lu Lin hugged him and patted his back lightly: "I know, it's fine."
"I almost don't remember what she looks like." Pei Zhuo buried his head on his shoulder: "I come to see her every month, and I seem to be able to relax a little bit."
"She knows." Lu Lin whispered: "Auntie, she knows you love her."
After sweeping the tomb, we went home together, and we happened to go to buy mosquito repellent and sunglasses together.
After all these were selected, Lu Lin led him upstairs.
Pei Zhuo thought he was going to buy new clothes: "Are you going to the fourth floor?"
Lu Lin paused and looked back at him: "There is a custom-made suit shop on the fifth floor here."
Pei Zhuo recalled the previous events, only now did he realize that he had always remembered them.
The man approached him, lowered his head and stroked the broken hair on his forehead.
"We have a date, don't we?"
Pei Zhuo nodded, his steps were much lighter.
He didn't actually forget it, but he just didn't want to mention it again, lest the atmosphere become depressing.
Lu Lin had discussed with the clerk here before, and now he looked at the style pictures he had selected in advance, and everything was very suitable for Pei Zhuo.
Don't be too flamboyant or overly corny.
"This gentleman came to our store at the time and read four or five volumes carefully for a long time," the teller joked, "You can see that he chose six or seven models, but he actually picked them out after reading them all afternoon."
Pei Zhuo whispered: "It's not about getting married..."
"Both of you have a very good figure, and you look very good in this suit." The teller smiled cheerfully: "We have a ready-made dark black suit, do you want to try it?"
Lu Lin looked up to see what he meant.
Pei Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's try now."
When the two came out of the locker room, they did stop breathing for a few seconds when they saw each other.
In fact, I have seen it before, but now there is love, and the feeling is completely different.
Pei Zhuo went over to help him tie his tie, and kissed his lips while the teller turned around.
Lu Lin smiled at his kissed eyebrows, and said softly, "Teacher Pei, do I look good like this?"
He has always been like this.
He called Pei Zhuo softly on the bed, occasionally called Zhuo Zhuo at home, and only called Teacher Pei when he went out.
Very serious, very disciplined.
Pei Zhuo thought to himself that you are more than just good-looking, if you go to school wearing this outfit, you might attract a group of female teachers to come and confess your love.
"You are only allowed to wear it twice." He said seriously: "Once for the swearing-in meeting, once for the graduation ceremony, no more, do you hear me?"
The man obviously heard the implication, and said with a light smile, "Little vinegar jar."
The teller just came over with a box of cufflinks, and asked enthusiastically, "Do you need a recommendation for a style?"
Pei Zhuo picked a pair of the same color, and said solemnly: "Actually, the two of us standing together are really eye-catching."
"Wearing better in public is also contributing to the school."
"That's not it." The man teased him: "The school girls are all here."
After the final size and style were confirmed, the two changed back into casual clothes and had a barbecue in the dark. When they got home, they still remembered to bring a big box of canned food to Amao, and took him to Papa Pei's house, where they sat down to drink Two pots of tea.
"It's really fun to raise a dog." Papa Pei patted Amao's head and said happily, "My poker friend's dog can do arithmetic. I'll teach it to try later."
"Take it easy." Pei Zhuo held the purple sand cup and said, "Amao is a little silly, but I'm afraid that the more you teach, the more confused you will become."
Aunt Huo brought them some snacks with a smile, and there was even a freshly made Youth League.
"Take some back after eating, you guys will start school soon, have fun now, you will be tired later."
"Yes." Pei Zhuo sighed leisurely: "I have to worry about the students in the two classes again."
When they were driving back, they happened to meet the fifth anniversary performance in a nearby business district.
The team of lion and dragon dance swaggered through the city, only a few meters away from the car.
Pei Zhuo opened the car window to take a video for the family group, Lu Lin leaned on the steering wheel and looked at him with a smile.
He found that after meeting Teacher Pei, his life seemed to have become more coherent.
When I was not in a relationship before, the commute to and from get off work in the school campus was two o'clock, and it was boring even during the holidays.
Now it seems that I have suddenly come back to life, and I am living in a very real and fresh way every day.
He couldn't tell whether it was better to be in love or to live together.
But as long as Pei Zhuo is in his field of vision, his heart seems to be forever young.
After taking the photo, Pei Zhuo turned to look at him, smiled and knocked on the steering wheel: "Go home, go home, I have to get up early to go to Changping tomorrow."
"En." Lu Lin agreed, but leaned over to kiss his lips.
"walk home."
The next day, the two drove to the school gate, each carrying a suitcase.
The bus came a bit late, and the teachers all gathered together to chat and talk, and they were no better than the students under their command.
What discipline and team order, it all became laughter at the moment.
"I brought meat muffins!"
"Hey Xiao Song, you will sit with me later~"
"I heard that there is a mahjong table over there. We haven't avenged our revenge last time!"
Xiao Huang waved happily when he saw them, and when he ran over, he looked like Ah Mao.
"Finally, finally, I don't have to bring the baby anymore." He pointed to the milk stain on the front of his clothes: "I made it when I went out, and I cried with me."
Lu Lin said seriously: "That's why Duoduo misses you."
"Of course I can't bear to perform for her," Xiao Huang Dayi said awe-inspiringly, "If you don't perform well, you won't want to go out to play next time."
After getting into the car, Director Hu wore a school cultural shirt and began to express his experience.
In the middle of the lecture, several old teachers urged him: "Speak briefly, it sounds tiring."
"It's coming soon," Director Hu immediately waved his hands, and raised his voice, "Anyway, everyone enjoys eating and having fun, and pay attention to safety when fishing and climbing mountains, do you hear me?"
The young teachers shouted loudly: "I heard it!"
Pei Zhuo had been on vacation for a month and a half, and now he finally remembered his personality in school, put away his profligate and unrestrained side, and smiled reservedly when chatting with other teachers.
Lu Lin didn't notice it at first, but when she heard the female teacher next to her sigh how Mrs. Pei is such a god, her wrist flicked and she was almost scalded by the tea.
He turned sideways to look at Pei Zhuo, who had already returned to his graceful, handsome and elegant state, and was whispering about Shelley's poems with other teachers.
Yesterday I was acting like a baby in the kitchen wanting to eat something sweet, touching my hands here and there without any rules.
Pei Zhuo took two sips of tea after chatting, and turned to see Lu Lin thoughtfully.
"Teacher Lu?" He also knew that what should be exposed was almost exposed at this moment, so he teased him shamelessly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, miss me?"
The voice is clear and peaceful, the same feeling as when I was not in love.
Hearing his voice, Lu Lin was almost tricked into it.
"fine."
Pei Zhuo lowered his head a little disappointed, and whispered.
Obviously didn't do anything, but it was a bit like acting like a baby in public.
Lu Lin originally planned to perform the whole process of "we are not familiar with each other", but after a while he didn't tense up, and looked at him sideways.
He found that he had no resistance to this person.
Even if Pei Zhuo frowned for a while, he would not be able to calm down for a long time.
The car just entered the tunnel.
The moment the darkness fell, the kiss he gave him was hot.
The author has something to say:
Hello everyone, I am back from working overtime... I have been out of updates for two days, sorry and sorry.
In the comment area, it was said that two or three chapters were not well connected. It is true that I was so busy that I didn't write very coherently.
But Chapter 45 was locked for a long time before, and I don't dare to change it right now, so I'll fix it when it's finished.
Good night, sweet dreams.
