Lu Chenfeng's alarm clock was seven o'clock sharp. After waking up, he planned to go to a nearby snack bar to pack some breakfast for Lin Chaosheng.

Father Lu's room was next to the kitchen, and across a closed window, Lu Chenfeng could vaguely hear the hum of the range hood. He put a coat on his shoulders and walked out of the bedroom with his slippers on. He turned the corner, and a plain white figure stood in front of the exit table, stirring the egg liquid in the glass bowl with chopsticks.

The pure white pajamas were sticking to his skin. Lin Chaosheng just washed his face and looked very fresh. The morning light slanted into the room, cutting light and dark on the wall. He was enveloped in a large light, and a slender shadow was cast from his straight figure.

Lu Chenfeng stared intently, and Lin Chao made a noise to disturb him: "Are you up?"

Focusing on Lin Chaosheng, Lu Chenfeng asked, "What are you doing?"

"Egg cake." Pointing to the frying pan that was heating oil behind him, Lin Chaosheng said, "Last night, I got your permission to move freely in this house, so I didn't say hello, I just pulled out the kitchen utensils in the cabinet and wanted to give You make breakfast."

Lu Chenfeng swallowed his emotion, rolled up his sleeves and said sincerely, "Is there anything I can help?"

"Yes." Lin Chaosheng put down the tableware and pushed him into the bathroom, "Go brush your teeth first, then bring the bowl to eat."

Lu Chenfeng had never washed up so impatiently before. Lin Chaosheng made his home smell of smoke again, comfortable and warm. He wanted to keep watching that person and feel the changes brought about by his existence.

Lin Chaosheng found a bag of sweet potatoes in a sealed package in the freezer of the refrigerator. Lu Chenfeng opened the rice cooker that showed the heat preservation and put out two bowls of hot millet and sweet potato porridge.

A log square table and two seats, Lu Chenfeng used to sit opposite Lu's father, but now he and Lin Chaosheng are only separated by a corner of the table, sharing the omelette that was just out of the pot, and his stomach was filled with the heat of ironing.

Lu Chenfeng cleaned the last grain of rice in the bowl, and reported the schedule to Lin Chaosheng: "I want to get together with friends at noon, and come back as soon as possible in the afternoon."

Lin Chaosheng had no intention to inquire about Lu Chenfeng's relationship, but he knew that he had just arrived in Beijing, and Lu Chenfeng would not easily leave him at home alone. He asked keenly, "Is it related to my affairs?"

The most important thing that cannot be delayed at the moment is Lin Chaosheng's illness.

Lu Chenfeng nodded: "I want to make an appointment with Director Song of the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the 301 Hospital to take you to see a doctor."

Lin Chaosheng didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his eyes and started to clear the plate. Lu Chenfeng is a resolute person. The only thing he can share for the other party is to obey his arrangements.

After washing the dishes, Lin Chaosheng wiped the water off the back of his hands, staring at the wooden door connecting the balcony and the courtyard. He raised his hand and pushed it away to let more sunlight into the house. There were three steps under his feet. There were no stone slabs in the courtyard, and there were a few weeds in the soil.

Lu Chenfeng hooked the car key with his index finger, and stood at the entrance to change his shoes: "I'm running out of food at home, what do I need, send me the list when you're free, and I'll go buy it."

The sun made his cheeks hot, and Lin Chaosheng leaned against the door frame and turned his head and said, "It's your choice whether you're inside or outside."

Lu Chenfeng didn't hesitate: "Outside the Lord."

Lin Chaosheng said, "You can concentrate on your work, and I will buy vegetables."

There was a Mercedes-Benz GLK parked in the parking space facing the balcony. Lin Chaosheng watched Lu Chenfeng sit in the car. At this moment, the phone rang, he swiped to answer, and Lu Chenfeng asked bluntly, "My wife, wave with me."

Why didn't I see that this man was so naive before, Lin Chaosheng raised his arm with a smile: "Be careful while driving."

Watching the car drive away, Lin Chaosheng bent down and sat on the steps, silently planning the layout of the courtyard in his mind. After a while, he unlocked his phone to search for nearby shops.

After exiting Yuyuan Community, turn left and cross under the bridge. There is a farmers market. Although it is small and complete, it is in line with Lin Chaosheng's wishes. After finding the target, he turned to Tao/Bao and bought a batch of textbooks about surveying and mapping. Lin Chaosheng got up and went back to his bedroom to change his clothes.

No matter what his condition is, since he has chosen to face it and has the courage to survive, Lin Chaosheng is reluctant to waste time on waiting and fear. He wants to pick up what he put down, get back the busy feeling in the past, and make life full.

When Lu Chenfeng was eating with Song Yike, he received two WeChat messages from Lin Chaosheng. The pictures showed several huge pots filled with soil. The text message read: Guess what I bought.

Lu Chenfeng replied without hesitation: Flower.

Lin Chaosheng sent a piggy emoji wearing "plain" thongs and waving his hand to say "NO": I'll wait for you to go home and announce the answer.

At 2:30 for lunch, Lu Chenfeng went to the 301 hospital to step on the spot. There are a lot of people here every day. He needs to find out the location of the registration window and the thoracic surgery clinic to avoid the two of them running around like two headless flies that day. .

After thanking Song Yike, Lu Chenfeng returned to his home in Chaoyang District, took his personal belongings, cleaned them up briefly, and handed the keys to the intermediary company he contacted in the morning.

After he was busy with everything, Lu Chenfeng thought about Lin Chaosheng in his heart and drove home anxiously. When he encountered a red light, he had a little temper, frowned impatiently, and tapped his index finger on his forehead.

In the past, he thought that the descriptions of love in many works were exaggerated and unrealistic, but now he must admit that those so-called love and lovesickness are probably less than one-tenth of what he is at the moment.

The gate bar was raised, Mercedes-Benz drove into Yuyuan, circled the pavilion and then turned. Looking through the windshield, Lu Chenfeng saw that Lin Chaosheng was talking to Aunt Yu, who lived in the opposite door. When he turned off the engine and got out of the car, Lin Chaosheng had two more gourds in his hand, with hemp rope tied to the top, and wrapped contentedly around the iron fence of his house. superior.

Lu Chenfeng: "..."

He and Aunt Yu lived opposite each other for more than ten years, and they still met and said hello. Lin Chaosheng got to know each other the next day, and Lu Chenfeng looked at the enthusiastic old lady and shoved a fresh glass into his arms. Ripe eggplant.

Aunt Yu saw Lu Chenfeng walking from a distance, and waved at him kindly, and asked, "Xiaofeng, are you planning to live back here?"

Lu Chenfeng put away the car keys, thanked him first, and then replied, "Yes, I won't leave this time."

"That's great, my old woman finally has company." Aunt Yu shrugged and smiled, "I have flowers and fruits in my yard, I used to be able to share some of them with your family, and then I was alone. You can't finish it, if you need it, come and get it."

After a few words of courtesy, Aunt Yu turned around and entered the room. Lin Chaosheng lowered his voice and asked Lu Chenfeng, "Where's Aunt Yu's family?"

Lu Chenfeng hugged him and walked to his small courtyard: "My wife passed away, my son and daughter are abroad, and I only come back once every two or three years."

Lin Chaosheng was slightly stunned: "Don't you see each other during the festivals?"

"Sometimes it's like this." Lu Chenfeng rubbed Lin Chaosheng's arm, "don't worry about her, the old man's mentality is very stable."

Just as he stepped into the courtyard gate with his forefoot, Lu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment. He saw porcelain pots with white flowers lined up along the fences on both sides. Small wooden sticks were inserted into the pots. There are even seedlings of gourd and fruit radish buried in it.

Lin Chaosheng said: "The area is relatively small, I only selected a few that are easy to survive."

Lu Chenfeng asked in surprise, "Why do you want to grow fruits and vegetables? I thought you would give priority to growing flowers."

"Food and clothing must come before romance." Lin Chaosheng picked up a small wooden stick and turned over the soil in the pot, and joked, "We don't know when we can make money. Let's plant flowers when life is on the right track."

Lu Chenfeng glanced at Lin Chaosheng with approval: "Where did you buy this?"

"The farmers market on the west side of the bridge." After Lin Chaosheng answered, he suddenly remembered something and pushed Lu Chenfeng out again, "By the way, there is something I want you to buy for me."

Lu Chenfeng was really curious about what Lin Chaosheng could ask for, and he had to show it well when he had a rare opportunity to show his hospitality: "What is it?"

Lin Chaosheng deliberately tried to indulge his appetite, and answered the question: "Are you hungry now?"

Lu Chenfeng shook his head, and Lin Chaosheng sent an invitation to him: "The sunset is so beautiful, can you take a walk with me?"
