"Mom, you're here."
Lu Ming walked into the villa quickly and put the rose aside.
Hearing Lu Ming's voice, Chi Qiu quickly let go of his hand, lowered his head and wiped away his tears indiscriminately. He did this without any hesitation, which made Chi Lanyan feel distressed.
Chi Lanyan turned sideways, and calmed the situation for his son with a low tone: "Chi Qiu is not feeling well, take good care of him. My company still has some business, so I'll go back first."
Lu Ming didn't keep her, he politely sent Chi Lanyan to the front of the car.
Chi Lanyan sat in the driver's seat, and before closing the door, he called out, "Lu Ming."
Lu Ming bent down slightly and listened attentively.
"Treat Chi Qiu well, if you're just putting on a show, I don't think Mr. Lu is a fool." She meant something, obviously what Chi Qiu said just now couldn't completely convince her. When she said this, she didn't continue, but Lu Ming understood.
Lu Ming's voice was low: "You misunderstood, the company is indeed a bit busy in the past six months. I was wrong for ignoring his feelings."
Chi Lanyan smiled coldly in his heart. To be honest, even when Lu Ming was apologizing, he always had a silent expression on his face. She wasn't sure whether Lu Ming's illness was real or fake, and she couldn't tell whether Lu Ming was telling the truth at the moment.
She slandered in her heart, but on her face she showed the gentleness of an elder: "That's good. Couples need to communicate more and understand each other more. Because of his eyes, Xiaoqiu has been shy and inferior since childhood. But he wanted me to agree to marry you. I have made a lot of efforts and changes in my marriage."
It was the first time she spoke clearly to Lu Ming: "Since you have accepted him like this, don't let him down."
After Chi Lanyan left, Lu Ming walked into the villa again.
It was only seen that Chi Qiu, who had just cried a while ago, had already sorted out his emotions. Now, he was pursing his lips and gently touching the roses on the table with his hands. The fresh petals touched the temperature of the fingertips, the fragrance of the rose was strong and scattered, and Chi Qiu's wet eyes were stained with a smile.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he quickly suppressed his smile and retracted his hand.
He turned around, faced the direction of the gate, and asked in a low voice, "Did you buy flowers?"
"Um."
"What flower? It smells like roses."
"It's a rose."
Chi Qiu was looking forward to it, but he was not sure, and asked, "Why did you suddenly buy roses?"
Without getting an answer from Lu Ming immediately, Chi Qiu was afraid that Lu Ming would notice his intentions and misunderstand him as being sentimental, so he said, "It's for decoration, right?"
He remembered that Aunt Zhang would always buy some bouquets and put them in the villa, saying that it was for decoration, so that the deserted villa would become softer. In this way, Chi Qiu, who smelled the fragrance of flowers, would feel better.
"When spring comes, all the flowers in the front yard are in bloom. Aunt Zhang rarely buys flowers recently. I was just about to ask her to buy some, so you bought some." He groped forward, and after half a year of familiarity, He can already clearly know how many steps this villa needs to walk to get to where Lu Ming is standing.
He found it very accurately, because Lu Ming was already facing him.
Lu Ming said: "Be careful. Just call me, and I will come over."
"Have you forgotten?" Chi Qiuhong held Lu Ming's hand behind his ear, warmly, and he smiled, "After the previous treatment, my right eye can feel hazy light and shadow."
He pointed at Lu Ming slightly, and said a little proudly, "You are here, I know you are here." His tone was firm, completely ignoring that his eyes were still reddish.
Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't answer.
Chi Qiu thought that Lu Ming was tired, so he reached out to touch Lu Ming's face, and found some stubble, not much, but it was irritating. Lu Ming pressed his hand and took it away: "Wait a moment."
He let go of Chi Qiu's hand, and went to pick up the bouquet of roses. When the bouquet leaves the table, the sound of the wrapping paper is clear. Lu Ming brought the bouquet of roses to Chi Qiu, took the initiative to hold Chi Qiu's hand, and let him hug it.
"The rose is for you." Lu Ming said, "It's not a decoration."
Chi Qiu was startled, and hugged the bouquet of roses hastily. It was the first time he received a bouquet of flowers as he grew up.
The roses in the florist are all pruned. If not, he might be pricked with such force.
Chi Qiu jumped for joy, lowered his head and sniffed lightly, and slowly, the smile on the corner of his mouth no longer had to be hidden.
Roses represent love, and Lu Ming sent him roses to prove that Lu Ming likes him.
But he already knew that Lu Ming liked him, and Lu Ming has always liked him very much.
Chi Qiu was so happy that he almost "strangled" the bouquet of flowers to death. After the surprise, he realized again and again, relaxed his hand, and stroked the flowers nervously.
"Thank you, I really like it!"
After a while, Chi Qiu thought of something.
"I need to tell Aunt Zhang, otherwise she will just cook dinner for me alone."
He hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. He almost fell down in a hurry. Fortunately, Lu Ming grabbed his waist from behind.
Chi Qiu subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally wandered off."
"Be careful." Lu Ming would not accuse him, let alone be angry with him.
Lu Ming is different from Chi Lanyan, his temper is so good that he seems to have no temper with Chi Qiu.
Holding flowers in his hands, Chi Qiu said dejectedly, "I used to be able to walk to the kitchen without a guide stick."
In order to take care of Chi Qiu, the furnishings in the house never moved, and there were no obstacles placed on the ground. Aunt Zhang will make the part-time cleaners pay more attention to these, while she herself pays attention to it in normal times.
Lu Ming didn't say much, he hugged Chi Qiu and said, "I'll tell it myself."
Chi Qiu is much lighter than Lu Ming. Although he is a grown man, it is not difficult for Lu Ming to hold him. Chi Qiu pressed his head against Lu Ming's shoulder and rubbed it lightly.
Noticing Chi Qiu's small movements, Lu Ming paused, and then put Chi Qiu on the sofa steadily.
Aunt Zhang, who heard movement outside in the kitchen, came out to have a look - Chi Lanyan went back, and Lu Ming came back.
She was overjoyed, and her tone was cheerful: "Boss Lu is back, do you want to have dinner at home? I bought a lot of fresh vegetables this morning." She thought that Chi Lanyan was going to stay for dinner, and what happened to be prepared was also The amount of food for two people.
After asking, she took a closer look and saw the rose in Chi Qiu's arms, and couldn't help but smile even more.
Lu Ming replied: "Yes."
"Then I'll go ahead and prepare." She doesn't make light bulbs.
"Aunt Zhang!" Chi Qiu called to her, "Can you put the roses in a vase for me first?" He was afraid that the roses would not live long, so he wanted to raise them quickly.
"Hey, sir, where do you want to put it?"
"In the bedroom."
If Lu Ming's roses accompany him to sleep, Chi Qiu thinks it will be a good night's dream.
Lu Ming refused: "Put it in the living room."
For a moment, Aunt Zhang didn't know who to listen to. After thinking about it, she still followed Lu Ming. She nodded and said to Chi Qiu, "Sir, it's not appropriate to put plants in the bedroom. Don't you always like to drink tea and listen to novels in the living room, it smells better here."
"Okay." Chi Qiu didn't think of this just now, and he was secretly happy in his heart—Lu Ming was really careful about everything, and even thought of this.
It's just that Lu Ming and Chi Qiu didn't chat a few words, and the work call came.
Lu Ming went to the study to deal with the work. He and Chi Qiu promised: "It will definitely be finished in half an hour."
Chi Qiu counted the time, and it was almost time for Xiao Yan to come back, so he happily said to Lu Ming, "Go quickly, don't delay your work."
Sure enough, less than ten minutes after Lu Ming entered the study, Xiao Yan came back with two cups of milk tea.
"Sir, the cup on the left is your whole candy, and the cup on the right is Mr. Lu's three-part candy." Xiao Yan asked, "Do you want to drink it now? I'll insert the straw for you."
"No, there's nothing else to do today, you can get off work first. Thank you for your hard work."
With Lu Ming at home, Chi Qiu didn't want to go anywhere, so Xiao Yan was naturally unnecessary. Xiao Yan understood, and "leaved early".
After confirming that the door was closed, Chi Qiu's hand didn't settle down. He touched two cups of milk tea, paused, deliberately took the three-point sweet cup on the right, and drank it slowly, filling up to half of the cup.
Looking at this posture, Chi Qiu definitely has no intention of leaving the three-point sweet milk tea to Lu Ming.
