Today Shen Wenqiu and Lu Yong are going to the capital by plane to receive the award. In two days, the National Science and Technology Progress Award will be awarded.
Shen Wenqiu was so nervous that he didn't sleep well all night, Lu Yong was calmer than him, and got up at 6:30 as usual.
Their plane tickets are booked for eleven o'clock.
It's still early, don't worry.
Earlier, Shen Wenqiu subconsciously wanted to book a train ticket.
Lu Yong said with a smile: "You are not blacklisted by the bank now, why do you have to take the train so hard? We can take the plane."
Shen Wenqiu just realized it.
Oh, he is no longer on the blacklist... Lu Yong has already helped him write off his bank debts.
He is now an innocent citizen, and he is reborn as a human being from the perspective of social credit. So he changed the ticket, and Lu Yong even bought the first class extravagantly. He himself bought the business class before, and it was the first time to buy the first class, but he wanted Shen Wenqiu to sit and watch.
The national award is not an ordinary award. Lu Yong will go to the great hall, and even the senior leaders of the central government will present the award to him in person.
Shen Wenqiu felt nervous when he thought about it. He thought Lu Yong was handsome, but going to a formal occasion was different. He wanted to get Lu Yong to have a hairstyle, order a new suit, and buy new shoes. Watches, collar pins and so on and so forth.
In the end, they were all rejected by Lu Yong. Lu Yong said: "It's good to wear the old clothes I have been attending formal occasions all the time. It also looks decent. It's enough to be decent, and it doesn't have to be too glamorous."
Shen Wenqiu thought about it, Lu Yong was right.
Lu Yong packed a black suit into the suitcase. Shen Wenqiu looked familiar, so he didn't ask directly, but said, "I think the other suit looks better, right? Why don't you take that one."
Lu Yong said frankly: "This dress is what I wore when I went to pick you up. It has a different meaning. I also want to wear it to receive the award."
Shen Wenqiu recalled the scene at that time, Lu Yong was standing under the too hot noon sun, across a busy road, standing next to the dark car, like a silent rock, looking at him from the other side.
What was he thinking then
He thought, how good it is to see Lu Yong again before he dies, and Lu Yong is actually willing to come to see him.
At that moment he thought he was dead.
I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to come back to life.
Shen Wenqiu silently helped Lu Yong fold the clothes neatly and put them in the suitcase: "Then take this set, you look good in it, I like it."
Now he recalled the time when he often went to the police station, it was as far away as in his previous life.
After washing up in the morning, they put toothpaste and toothbrushes in, and checked the luggage by the way.
I cleaned it up last night, but I was afraid of missing anything, so I opened it up and checked again nervously to make sure there was nothing missing.
Lu Yong is a very careful person. He even made a list and compared them one by one.
Shen Wenqiu glanced at the draft in Lu Yong's notepad, which read:
…
A set of toiletries√
Information √
Notebook √
…
If he brings it, he will tick it off.
Seeing Shen Wenqiu watching, Lu Yong glanced at him, and then in front of him, added one item at the end:
little one
Then tick it.
Shen Wenqiu laughed and said, "Don't call me little baa when you go out, I'm such an old man, how embarrassing."
"I think it's cute." Lu Yong said solemnly, "No matter how old you are, I think you're cute."
It's too scary for an honest person to talk about love, Shen Wenqiu thought for the nth time.
Baggage checked.
It was only half past seven.
Two eggs were boiled, a box of steamed buns was steamed, served with a cup of soy milk, and the two sat together to eat this homely meal.
Shen Wenqiu subconsciously wanted to serve the dog breakfast too, and when he walked to the dog food bucket, he always felt too quiet, so he remembered that they had already sent the dog to a pet store because they were going away for a few days.
He has a good relationship with Preserved Egg now.
Usually when he is lying on the sofa, the preserved egg will jump on the sofa and sleep soundly next to him. Lu Yong is busy, but he walks the dog a lot. Rope came over, staring at him expectantly.
It's so lonely, I won't see the dog for several days.
Lu Yong received a call from his father. Knowing that he was leaving today, his father specially expressed condolences to him. He first told him to be careful on the road, and then said: "... you should take Xiaobaa with you? Take care of him, He's sick."
Shen Wenqiu felt like he was dreaming back to his high school days, and Uncle Lu always reminded Lu Yong to take care of him.
Shen Wenqiu interjected, "Uncle, I'm much better now."
Lu Yong smiled at him, and said, "Yes, I forgot to tell you that Xiaobaa has become more cheerful recently, but I still want to take him with me. At such an important moment, he must accompany me."
Dad said: "Yes, that's just right. Without Xiaobaa, maybe your company wouldn't exist. How could we be where we are today?"
This made Shen Wenqiu unhappy.
He is Lu Yong's number one die-hard fan.
It’s not easy to refute the words of the elders, but when Uncle Lu hung up the phone, Shen Wenqiu said to Lu Yong, “How can I be so effective? I think you will succeed without me. I’m just lucky to meet you.” , made up this number."
Lu Yong shook his head: "No, you are indispensable. Many opportunities, if you miss them, you won't have them again. If you didn't persuade me, how could I start a company in high school? If not, I might not Maybe he will be a senior researcher in a big company like Teacher Ding."
Lu Yong thought for a while, and said with a sense of humor: "Actually, I quite like working as a researcher. Sometimes I feel that being a boss is quite troublesome. If you have too many social activities, your brain will become dull."
Shen Wenqiu said happily: "Then you can spend more energy on research in the future. It doesn't matter. I will do company management and project planning, so you can have more time to do what you feel happy about."
Lu Yong always listened to his wife: "Okay, do it if you're happy, and don't tire yourself out if you're not happy."
The two are talking.
Shen Wenqiu's cell phone rang, and he picked it up: "Well, it's me. Is it so fast?... I'm at home.... Okay, okay, bring it here."
Then hung up the phone.
Lu Yong asked: "Express delivery?"
Shen Wenqiu nodded: "Well, there is a courier that I lost before. The other party actually contacted me, and then delivered it to me."
"I thought I would arrive in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"The express delivery industry has also developed rapidly in the past two years." Lu Yong said, he subconsciously analyzed, "In the future, e-commerce and logistics will get better and better, and there will be more and more packaging waste..."
The two discussed it, and halfway through the discussion, the courier delivered it.
Lu Yong didn't ask what kind of courier it was, but Shen Wenqiu directly put the courier box on the table in the living room and opened it.
Inside the big box was a small box, the big box was new, the small cardboard box was old, and there was a yellowed express note on the outside, with Shen Wenqiu's name written on it, and it was five years ago. Shen Wenqiu said: "After my family went bankrupt and moved, I packed a lot of luggage and sent it to the rented place, but in the end I lost several pieces."
"I didn't expect to find it again one day."
When Shen Wenqiu was contacted, he was vaguely aware of it. As soon as he opened the small cardboard box, as expected, there was a thick diary wrapped in a cloth book jacket on the top.
Lu Yong recognized it at a glance, he couldn't be more familiar with it, this is the diary that records his secret love throughout the high school years.
It was his love letter to Shen Wenqiu.
Shen Wenqiu took out the diary and said, "Here, back then I was reluctant to throw it away and kept it secretly."
He put down the diary, and there were other things in the small cardboard box. Shen Wenqiu looked up at Lu Yong, then lowered his head again, and took out another brick-like notebook from the box.
Lu Yong asked: "What is this?"
Shen Wenqiu said: "I made a cutout when I was in college."
Lu Yong walked up to Shen Wenqiu, and Shen Wenqiu showed him the book, which was full of silhouettes, Lu Yong's silhouettes.
He secretly collected information about Lu Yong from everywhere, Lu Yong's papers, Lu Yong's news, and Lu Yong's photos on social networks.
Lu Yong, Lu Yong, Lu Yong, all Lu Yong.
Shen Wenqiu rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I still called you a pervert, and I'm quite perverted. I thought at the time that I must do something in order to see you again. I didn't expect If I went bankrupt, I would never be ashamed to look for you again, and after losing this book, I never made a new one."
Lu Yong's old face and ears are completely red. The two of you look at me and I look at you. They are obviously old couples, but sometimes they feel innocent and shy. Concluded: "It's okay, I like it, I like it very much."
Lu Yong said, "Let's take these two books with us."
Shen Wenqiu replied: "Okay."
The two took back their own copy and handed it to each other.
The love letter written by Lu Yong was packed into Shen Wenqiu's suitcase, and the love letter written by Shen Wenqiu was put into Lu Yong's suitcase.
Adding a book to the originally full suitcase was stuffed to the brim.
It's past nine o'clock. Time to go.
Arrived at the airport early, they waited in the waiting room, and it took another one and a half hours to board the plane.
Today's weather is excellent - sunny, cloudless, blue sky numb.
Shen Wenqiu sat next to Lu Yong, at this ordinary and inconspicuous moment, because of a moment of reverie, he felt that the sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows seemed to fill his heart.
so warm.
He doesn't desire to be rich and powerful, he doesn't desire to make great achievements, he hopes that they can all be safe and healthy, and spend every moment in the future like this moment in an ordinary way.
Live, live well.
As soon as he relaxed, because he didn't sleep well last night, he started to feel sleepy, so he leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder to sleep.
He dreamed that when he fell into the river, something pulled his feet, making him sink continuously, and Lu Yong swam over. This time, he didn't struggle, but held Lu Yong Lu Yong held his hand and pulled him ashore.
"Little baa, wake up."
Lu Yong gently woke him up.
Shen Wenqiu yawned.
Lu Yong straightened the rhombus scarf around his neck, held hands with him again, and said with the prosthetic hand, "Let's go."
"It's time to take off."
