Chapter 644: Smashing the Birthday Gift; Lu Ziyin Flies to Southeast Asia
In the afternoon, Lu Xixiao went into the room and when he came out, he found that Wen Li and the car parked outside the yard were gone.
He found the old lady and asked, "Grandma, where is Li Li?"
"Li Li went to town to buy a cake. She just left. Xiao Lu, you didn't go with her?" The old lady exclaimed in confusion.
Lu Xixiao immediately understood that Wen Li had deliberately abandoned him.
"Li Li didn't call me." He felt amused and a little disappointed that he couldn't go to town with Wen Li. But when he thought that Wen Li was going to buy him a cake, he felt better.
He thought Wen Li was angry with him, but it seemed not.
The old lady smiled and asked, "Are you having a little quarrel?"
During lunch, the old lady noticed that Wen Li ignored Lu Xixiao, not even looking at him, treating him as air. He also did not keep Lu Xixiao company while he was washing dishes like he had done in previous times. He was even unwilling to be close to Lu Xixiao. It was obvious that he was avoiding Lu Xixiao, but he did not look angry.
Lu Xixiao said affirmatively: "No."
Could he say that he made Wen Li shy?
The old lady said: "That's fine. The town is close, and Li Li will be back soon."
Lu Xixiao: "Yeah."
Wen Li originally wanted to buy a cake for Lu Xixiao this afternoon, but she didn't plan to buy it after coming out of the bathroom in the morning. Later, thinking about how Lu Xixiao had celebrated her birthday with all his heart in the past two years, she softened her heart and bought him a cake as a reward.
Before the car even left the village, I received a message from Lu Xixiao: "Li Li, why didn't you ask me to come with you?"
I can already imagine Lu Xixiao's complaint with a hint of grievance.
Then he sent another message: "How long will it take for you to reply?"
Wen Li really thought this guy was so clingy, he wanted to be with her all the time. She hadn't even left the village yet.
Wen Lidang didn't see his message.
On the way back, he sent another message. He knew that she was driving and had no time to reply to his message, and that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but he still shamelessly tried to make his presence felt. It was really deliberate.
"Did Lili buy the cake?"
"Where are you? Are you coming back?"
Just by reading the text, you can feel how eager he is.
Before her car reached the gate of the yard, Lu Xixiao had already come out to pick her up with the little guy, and there was a dog beside him.
How can I describe the scene of waiting for her to come home?
Wen Li handed him the cake without saying a word.
After dinner in the evening, they cut the cake. Lu Xixiao gave the first piece to the old lady, who wished him a happy birthday. He gave the second piece to Wen Li, who took the cake without saying anything. Instead, he said, "Thank you, Li Li, for buying me the cake."
Wen Li turned a deaf ear to it.
Her complete disregard prompted her grandmother to glance at her secretly.
Wen Li got angry and kicked Lu Xixiao under the table.
Let him be quiet.
Lu Xixiao continued to cut the cake without changing his expression.
Lu Xixiao's birthday passed like this. In the evening, Wen Li looked at the birthday present that he had not given away, and felt a little complicated.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, she went to town to pick up a package, which was actually a birthday present for Lu Xixiao. Not to mention that Lu Xixiao had celebrated her birthday twice, even with their current relationship, she couldn't just not express her gratitude. She had prepared this gift two weeks ago and originally intended to send it to Lu's house, but when Lu Xixiao came to Mingcheng, she had the package sent here instead.
Who would have thought that Lu Xixiao asked her for another birthday gift.
She hadn't been able to look Lu Xixiao in the eye the entire day, so now it was really a test for her to be asked to give Lu Xixiao a birthday present.
Wen Li was depressed that the gift he had put so much thought into was quietly dropped in his hands, and he actually envied Lu Xixiao's shamelessness.
Recalling the scene in the bathroom, Wen Li's face changed slightly. He slammed the lid of the box shut and whispered, "Fuck you!"
That guy is already so proud that he is almost flying to the sky. If I give him another birthday present, who knows what he will be like. It makes me unhappy just thinking about it. I feel more and more that this gift is not worth giving him.
He can't even know.
Wen Li threw the gift back into the bag.
Lu Xixiao still doesn't know what he has missed.
Anyway, he was satisfied today.
It's snowing quite heavily in Beijing today.
The Lu family, young and old, gathered at the home of the fourth son, Lu Xifeng. After dinner, everyone moved to the living room. The atmosphere was lively and harmonious.
At his wife's reminder, Lu Xicheng looked at his youngest son Lu Ziyin, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the sofa in a low mood.
Usually, Lu Ziyin is the most active in this kind of atmosphere.
His current behavior is really abnormal.
Not only them, but everyone noticed it.
They joked that Lu Ziyan had grown up and become more mature.
When the time was almost up, Lu Ziyin let go of the pillow and asked his father what he meant: "Dad, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to sleep first."
Lu Xicheng said unhappily: "Why are you sleeping at this hour? Can't you see that everyone is still here? Don't you have any manners?"
Lu Ziyan sat back angrily.
Mrs. Lu glared at her husband, then turned and said to Lu Ziyin in a gentle voice, "Xiaobao, if you're tired, go back first. The ground outside is slippery, so walk slowly. Mom and Dad will be back soon."
Seeing that his father was dissatisfied but did not dare to disobey his mother, Lu Ziyin was in a bad mood and chose to leave first.
Lu Xicheng watched his son leave, thought for a moment, and stood up to follow him. Absent-minded Lu Ziyin didn't notice his parents were behind him until he turned around and saw them when he got home.
"Dad, Mom."
Lu Xicheng was furious: "What's wrong with you? You're so alert that your mother and I, two big living people, didn't even notice you were walking behind me. Are you sleepwalking?"
Lu Ziyin lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Xicheng: "You're such a gloomy person for the New Year. Everything seems wrong after you came back from the game. Don't think that you can be so rude to me just because you won the world championship and got the support of your fifth uncle. I've been putting up with you for a month, and now you're so lifeless that it makes me angry. What's wrong with you? Did you cause trouble outside or get bullied by others? Why can't you say anything when something happens? Your last name is Lu, and even if the sky falls, it won't fall on you. It doesn't matter to you, but the Lu family still has face to save."
"Is winning the world championship too stressful for you, little darling? How about taking a break? Take a break for a while, and mom will accompany you on a trip to relax, okay? You see you've lost a lot of weight recently, so tell mom if you're unhappy about anything." Mother Lu held her little son's face with a look of heartache and worry.
Lu Ziyin: "I'm fine."
Lu Xicheng: "It's okay. You act like your father is dead every day. Do you want to tell me yourself or wait for me to check?"
Lu Ziyin: "I'm really fine."
Mother Lu: "Xiaobao, you are not heartbroken, right?"
Lu Ziyin was startled, a look of panic flashed across his face. He touched his neck and said, "No, no, I'm not heartbroken..."
Lu Xicheng and his wife looked at each other.
There's something wrong with this kid.
Lu Xicheng's laser eyes swept over Lu Ziyin twice: "Why are you feeling guilty? I think you are the one. Tell me the truth, don't be blind like your brother."
Lu Ziyin: "Dad, it's really not true. I'm busy with school and training every day. I don't even have time to go to the bathroom. How could I be heartbroken? It's just about the club, and then, I just had a little fight with a friend... It was awkward, and I don't know how to deal with it. Oh, I'm really fine, Dad. Mom, don't worry about me, don't worry."
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your friends? Tell mom and I'll help you find a solution. Is it that kid Yu Jin?"
Lu Ziyin was tired: Mom, how could you guess so accurately?
He denied it: "No, Mom, I can handle it."
After finally getting rid of his parents, Lu Ziyin went upstairs to his room. He sat down heavily on the soft sofa, grabbed the pillow and hugged it in his arms, staring blankly ahead.
After a few minutes, Lu Ziyin, unable to bear the silence, simply took a shower and went to bed early. However, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he lay down. He sat up irritably, his eyes looking at the cardboard box in the corner of the room as if on their own.
The box contained the things Yu Jin had left behind at the club. Someone had already taken Yu Jin's seat, so his desk had to be cleared, as did his dorm room. He had no choice but to bring his belongings back with him. From his keyboard to his drinking glass...
The more Lu Ziyin looked at it, the more upset he felt. He scratched his head in frustration. Then he got out of bed, dressed again, and went downstairs.
His parents were not in the living room, so he breathed a sigh of relief, slipped out the door, drove a car from the garage, left the Lu family, and came to the club.
This year, everyone in the club went home for the New Year celebrations, and no one has returned yet. The huge club is quiet.
Lu Ziyin turned on the light, went upstairs and pushed open the door of the training room.
Yu Jin's position was closest to the door. Lu Ziyin stood at the door, his eyes fixed on Yu Jin's former position.
Yu Jin's desk looked brand new, filled with things belonging to new team member Aurora, and even his gaming chair had been replaced.
The image of Yuzhe sitting in his seat and training seriously and attentively appeared in front of Lu Ziyin's eyes. Every scene, no matter what time period it was, was extremely clear.
He walked into the training room, sat down at his seat, and then looked to the right where Yuhuan was.
He sat here and could see the lingering fear every time he looked up.
Always.
He was completely unable to accept or adapt to Yu Jin's departure. Due to his excessive concentration, he forgot Yu Jin's departure many times. He didn't know how many times he excitedly shouted "crucian carp" to his right while playing.
When I saw Aurora's face, I could only apologize awkwardly.
Then came the loss that threatened to overwhelm him.
There were big problems with his training condition. At first, the manager and coach understood his feelings, but later they really couldn't stand it anymore.
Lu Ziyin's mind was full of everything that happened with Yu Jin in the club. He was lost in memories and sat in his seat for a long time.
Finally, he couldn't help but change his seat to Yu Jin's, and looked towards his own seat for some unknown reason.
It's not like he hasn't sat in Yu Ji's position before, but this is the first time he's seen himself from Yu Ji's perspective.
I sit here with lingering fear all these years. Every time I look up at myself, what kind of mood do I feel? What do I think?
He never noticed that there was anything wrong with the way Yu Ji looked at him. Was Yu Ji deliberately hiding it from him?
Thinking of the lingering fear of the night when he won the championship and expressed his feelings with red eyes, which he thought were embarrassing and disgusting, Lu Ziyin felt heartbroken.
He walked out of the club with a confused mind, sat in the car for a while, a little disoriented, started the car unconsciously, and drove aimlessly.
Passing by a park, he remembered that he and Yu Jin had ridden bicycles here together when they were in high school.
He and Yu Jin had played basketball on this basketball court and even competed with someone. The opponent couldn't stand losing and they almost got into a fight.
They had been to this mall together and bought the basketball here.
I've also been to this shopping mall and bought the bicycle I ride here.
We have eaten at this hot pot restaurant many times.
We went to this arcade five times when we were in junior high school.
He remembered that the bar they first went to was not far from here.
The Bai Ji in front has his favorite sugar-coated steamed buns and pea yellow, but he always has to queue up. However, he doesn’t seem to have queued up many times. At the beginning, he pulled Yu Ji to queue up, and later Yu Ji bought things for him, so naturally Yu Ji was the one in the queue.
The car passed by a high school.
Lu Ziyin stopped at the school gate.
There were so many memories, rushing to his mind, that he didn't know where to begin.
The capital is where he grew up. He is very familiar with everything here. His figure can be seen everywhere, but what he did not expect was that Yu Jin's figure was always there.
He couldn't even recall which places in the capital he had been to that Yu Kai hadn't. After all, he had even taken Yu Kai to his own elementary school and kindergarten, and even climbed over the elementary school wall with Yu Kai and went inside...
After Yu Jin left, Lu Ziyin seemed to be living in memories. There were too many memories and he could not recall them all. Many blurred memories became clearer under his recollection.
Before I knew it, I drove to the place where Yu Jin rented a house.
The car was parked outside an old residential complex. The light in the security booth was on. He looked inside through the iron gate and saw Yushichou running towards him in thin clothes, holding a towel and wearing slippers in the cold weather.
It was New Year’s Eve last year, and he brought the New Year’s Eve dinner to Yu Ji.
Every time he comes here, Yushou comes out to pick him up.
Not this time. The only time.
I don’t know how his New Year’s Eve dinner went this year.
I don't know how he gets along with his family, how his family affairs are handled, whether he has encountered any danger since returning home, whether his father is aggressive, whether he will argue with him, and if they do, whether he will hit him, whether he is happy, and whether he will think of me...
Lu Ziyin suddenly started the car and turned in one direction, this time no longer driving aimlessly.
He drove the car to the junior high school.
It was here that he and Yu Ji met.
Although Yu Ji and I did not spend as much time in junior high school as we did in high school, I have the most memories of junior high school.
He has had many friends since he was a child, but Yu Ji seems to have only had him as a friend from beginning to end. When he was in school, as long as he was not with Yu Ji, Yu Ji would be alone. If you think about it carefully, it was the same outside of school.
The snow was falling heavily, and the black Porsche was covered with a layer of white snow. The surroundings were quiet.
Lu Ziyin didn't know how long he'd been sitting in the car. It seemed like a sudden decision, without any warning. Before he could even think it through, he pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Wen Li, his mind controlled by his body. Halfway through typing, he couldn't wait to exit WeChat and call Wen Li directly.
He asked Wen Li for Yu Jin's brother's phone number.
I dialed the number with a nervous mood.
On New Year's Eve, after struggling for more than ten hours, he mustered up the courage to send Yu Ji a Happy New Year message, only to find that he had been blocked by Yu Ji without him knowing when.
Maybe it was the day Yu Ji left.
When he saw the red exclamation mark, Lu Ziyin was stunned for a long time, feeling indescribable panic and discomfort in his heart.
His head was buzzing as he called Yu Han.
As expected, the phone number was also blocked.
He asked Fu Qing to send a WeChat message to Yu Ji, and Fu Qing told him that Yu Ji had blocked him a long time ago, but he had never said anything.
Yu Jin cut off all contact with them.
Lu Ziyin now wants to know where Yu Ji is, because he has decided to find Yu Ji, but since he has been blocked, he can only ask Yu Ji's brother.
After asking, Lu Ziyin couldn't wait to check the air tickets. The earliest flight was at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. He couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that he would back out, so he wanted to set off immediately and not give himself the chance to hesitate or regret.
Even if I could transfer to a few more cities, the flight would not allow it.
He could only give up.
After buying the plane ticket, Lu Ziyin drove home to pack his things.
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He was worried that he was acting on impulse, but after a night, he not only had no intention of backing down, but became more and more determined.
There is only anticipation besides nervousness.
The next morning, Lu Ziyan went out with his luggage.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going on a trip with Crucian Carp." Lu Ziyin lied. If he had said that he was going to Southeast Asia to look for Yu Han, his parents would definitely not agree to let him go alone.
His parents both knew about Yu Jin's family situation.
Lu Xicheng frowned. The New Year hadn't even ended yet. He was about to scold his wife when she spoke first: "So sudden?"
Lu Ziyin: "Didn't you tell me to go travel and relax? I've already made an appointment with Crucian Carp."
After hearing what Lu Zinyin said, and looking at Lu Zinyin's energetic face as if he had suddenly come alive after a night, Lu Xicheng swallowed the words on his lips.
Mother Lu: "Where are you going on vacation?"
Lu Ziyin: "I agreed with Crucian Carp to meet in Singapore."
Mother Lu: "Okay, go ahead. Be careful."
The couple didn’t know that Lu Ziyan was going to Thailand instead of Singapore.
