Chapter 68
Chapter 68
It was actually a bit of a mistake for Xia Jianjing to choose to bring Lu Zai to Chengdu to play.
People in Chengdu love delicious food, and they will eat it if they can, but only if the taste is strong enough.As for Lu Zai, despite the superficial beauty, he seems to have been reborn, but his heart still prefers sweets as always.
Xia Jianjing discovered Lu Zai's hobby very early on. In the past, Lu Zai secretly liked sweets, but he never took the initiative to say so.
Xia Jianjing also observed it. After all, when eating, Lu Zai's chopsticks liked to stick into the dishes of fish-flavored shredded pork and sweet and sour pork. However, after he ate it, even if he squinted his eyes with satisfaction, But he could still make a stinky face.
Lu Zai's natural awkwardness, which has been maintained consistently for so many years, is also a kind of skill.
Although Xia Jianjing has a strong taste and loves salty and spicy food, he has been tossed so hard these two days, and it is impossible for him to let go of eating. It is a pity that the street is full of delicious food.
The two wandered in the world of gourmet food, smacking their mouths again and again, reading Dianping from beginning to end, but nothing was suitable. This is probably the suffering in the world.
Xia Jianjing drove the car around twice on the road, they were so hungry that they couldn't even talk.
Xia Jianjing said: "Why don't you choose, just find a random place, and I'll cook you some fish-flavored shredded pork?"
Lu Zai shook his head, Jin Gui's energy came up again, "I ate it yesterday, and I only want to eat what you made in the future."
Xia Jianjing was choked before he could catch his breath. He really didn't have any interest in these sweet dishes. He didn't know which muscle was wrong at the beginning. The first dish he learned when he started cooking was Lu Zai's. favorite.
Xia Jianjing looked up at the pastry shop passing by the car window, and asked again: "Buy two bread mats to pad your stomach?"
Lu Zai glanced at it, but his expression was still not very happy. He half leaned back on the seat, his eyes were on the verge of opening, he was completely enjoying the feeling of Xia Jianjing coaxing him.
"I don't want to eat it." Lu Zai said, "You don't like bread and cakes."
Xia Jianjing was a little helpless, and sighed, but his face was filled with a smile inexplicably, just looking at Lu Zai's face was enough for him to smile and roll his eyes.
The way they get along with each other is all kinds of strange. When they talk about the philosophy of life with their hearts open, they are so dull that it is unbelievable, but in a blink of an eye, they have a boring leisurely mood again. You coax me and I coax you, which is really annoying.
Lu Zai was even more baffled. Those beautiful thin lips were still talking charmingly half an hour ago, but now he was hungry, and even his mouth began to complain.
Xia Jianjing thought to himself, he really should put Lu Zai's arrogant look on Weibo, and show his group of fans a good look at how the high-cold male god persona collapsed.This is not a lone wolf, it is obviously a sticky fruit candy.
Of course, Xia Jianjing also stood up and talked without pain in his back. He didn't have a clue about how he acted like a baby to Lu Zai on the bed.And the smile on his face with cheekbones rising to the sky, really doesn't look like a physics engineer.
While driving, Xia Jianjing spared no effort to cast a sideways glance at Lu Zai, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm hungry." Lu Zai leaned his head on the seat, his eyelashes flickered twice, and then he closed his eyes.
"It's not just hungry." Xia Jianjing suppressed a smile, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
As soon as Xia Jianjing finished speaking, Lu Zai's body tensed up, and his hands that were relaxed on his lower abdomen couldn't help but clenched together, feeling a little unhappy that someone had exposed him.
Lu Zai didn't speak, and didn't open his eyes, "I'm sleeping, I didn't hear anything." It was clearly written on his face.
Xia Jianjing didn't look at him, but looked ahead, and said quietly to himself: "There are still eighty days, more than two months, there should be a lot of variables."
Lu Zai's eyelashes trembled slightly twice, and his thin lips were pursed, really out of embarrassment.
Xia Jianjing clearly knew that he was making trouble, but he didn't come to coax him. Instead, he added fuel to the fire. It seems that his cooking skills these years are really good, and he is very good at adding oil and vinegar.
Lu Zai's expression was not very good, he was obviously angry, and there was a faint posture that the mountain and rain were about to come, and his whole face stinks.
Xia Jianjing couldn't bear to hold back his laughter, he bit his lips and remained silent, only the sound of his unsteady breathing because of holding back his laughter remained in the air.
Since neither of them knew what to eat, nor did they have any plans for the next step, Xia Jianjing thought about going to the hotel to check in first.
The hotel Xia Jianjing booked was near Chunxi Road. The hotel had its own parking lot. After parking the car, he unfastened his seat belt and went to take a closer look at Lu Zai.
Lu Zai turned his face away a long time ago, and was sulking at the car window alone, unwilling to look at Xia Jianjing even if he said anything.
Xia Jianjing took away the water bottle next to the stall, half knelt there, and leaned over to untie Lu Zai's seat belt.
Xia Jianjing's posture was quite uncomfortable, and his lower back was still a little sore, so he accidentally fell forward.
The colleague's car was well maintained, and the glass film was imported. Lu Zai could see it clearly from the window. He was furious, but he still reached out and hugged his culprit.
Xia Jianjing called him: "Cub?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xia Jianjing shouted again: "Baby?"
The corners of Lu Zai's lips showed a slight upward trend, and Xia Jianjing hurriedly added, "Baby?"
This is the end!
Lu Zai's face immediately sank after a slight improvement, and the smell was so bad that it could no longer be smelled. He opened his eyes, frowned and looked at Xia Jianjing, his eyes were full of embarrassment and disbelief.
Xia Jianjing was completely dumbfounded. He was still wondering that Lu Zai was so difficult to coax this time, and he didn't realize that he stepped on Lu Zai's tail.
Xia Jianjing stammered and said, "You, which name do you like?"
Lu Zai clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and asked, "When you usually call me, do you call me Lu Zai's Zai, or... Bao..."
Lu Zai was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices, he couldn't say anything about this damn "baby".
He actually liked to hear Xia Jianjing call him "Zai" when he was on the phone with Xia Jianjing, and it was the same when he was in bed. , as intimate as a wet kiss.
However!Now!
The facts seem to be a bit different from Lu Zai's imagination. This "cub" is not the other "Zai". Of course it's nice to be spoiled like this by the person you like, but it will inevitably feel ashamed.
Lu Zai lost all hope.
Especially when he was doing something unsuitable for children, he was called "baby" by the person under him who softened into a puddle of water. Just thinking about it would explode in his head, and even the tips of his ears would evaporate with embarrassment.
Xia Jianjing took his hand, stroked a few strokes on his palm, and said, "This 'cub'."
really!
There was a "buzz" in Lu Zai's head, and the red tips of his ears disappeared.
Lu Zai's voice was extremely hoarse. He licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't call me that."
"Isn't it cute?" Xia Jianjing laughed and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Cub?"
Lu Zai was forced speechless by Xia Jianjing. He raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jianjing's playful smile. With a tight arm, he wrapped her in his arms and blocked it with a kiss.
Lu Zai bit his lip and warned, "Don't call me 'cub'!"
"Okay, okay." Xia Jianjing was bitten so immobile, he inserted his fingers into Lu Zai's hair, and rubbed the back of his head gently, "Stop barking, Comrade Lu Zai."
Lu Zai finally let go of Xia Jianjing, but after getting the guarantee, he suddenly felt lost again, it was really difficult to serve.
Lu Zai thought for a while and said, "You can also call, but you can't always call."
"Okay." Xia Jianjing laughed, his whole heart softened, he looked at Lu Zai, "You can tell me, why are you suddenly unhappy after getting off the highway?"
Lu Zai was already broken, and he said bluntly: "After I said you were my way home, what did you say?"
Xia Jianjing was momentarily at a loss for words when asked, he tried hard to think back, but he didn't think of his reaction in the end.
Lu Zai reminded him, saying, "You said 'oh', and then you started telling me that the roasted pig's trotters on Chunxi Road are delicious."
Xia Jianjing couldn't help laughing, he finally understood why Lu Zai didn't speak well.
No matter how good Lu Zai's language skills are now, and how tight the interview is, he can't change his intelligent but unhappy look in front of Xia Jianjing.
Love is the most effective "revealing magic", once they get close, they will reveal their true colors, no one is more mature than the other.
"I was wrong." Xia Jianjing admitted his mistake insincerely, he squinted his eyes and licked the corners of his mouth, "But the roasted pig's feet are really delicious, do you want to go?"
"You!" Lu Zai looked at him coldly, "No!"
Xia Jianjing laughed, rushed over and hugged Lu Zai and kissed him vigorously. After the kiss, he rubbed against Lu Zai's side neck and refused to let go.
Xia Jianjing smiled and said, "You want to hear what I have to say?"
When Xia Jianjing spoke, he moved back a bit, and suddenly there was some distance between him and Lu Zai.Lu Zai looked up at him, pouted his lower lip imperceptibly, and even asked for a kiss so awkwardly that he remained calm.
Xia Jianjing saw through it at a glance. He leaned over and kissed Lu Zai's lips.
"I really don't know what to say, I didn't even realize that you were waiting for my response." Xia Jianjing said, "I can't think of anything that can separate us from now on, I want to be with the bones and loess You're buried together, so what do you say you're mine?"
Lu Zai thought for a while and said, "The tomb?"
Xia Jianjing laughed loudly, "So you want to hear this sentence, okay, you are my grave."
Lu Zai frowned, "I don't."
"Of course not, you are my cub." Xia Jianjing held Lu Zai's face in his hands, "I have always wanted to call you a cub, not to take advantage of you. I want to raise you and coax you until we are 80 years old , other old men are drinking tea, reading newspapers, raising birds and amusing fishes, but you can't grow up, and you can turn against me because of the lack of a good night kiss, how nice it is."
Lu Zai pursed his lips and smiled, "Why don't you grow up?"
"Me too." Xia Jianjing hugged him with his eyes bent, "At this moment, I suddenly felt that it was too wise for me to call Xia Ping Old Xia all the time."
Lu Zai's heart skipped a beat, and he held his breath to look at Xia Jianjing.
Xia Jianjing threw himself into his arms and shouted with a smile, "Dad!"
The two sat in the car hungry for another half an hour, until the security guard came over and knocked on their windows in bewilderment, Xia Jianjing got out of the car with a shy face.
On the return trip the next day, Lu Zai took the car keys and said, "Let me drive."
Xia Jianjing nodded and said, "Okay, go back and rest for a while, I'll make a meal for us, and take you to the station later."
Lu Zai drove very steadily, he hardly touched the fast lane, and the speed of the car kept pressing the minimum speed limit without any haste, so stable that Xia Jianjing closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Xia Jianjing opened his eyes again, the car had already parked downstairs in his dormitory.
Xia Jianjing rubbed his eyes, he couldn't hide his disappointment when he woke up, he sighed and said, "It's so fast."
Lu Zai understood what Xia Jianjing meant, and he felt uncomfortable when the separation was imminent.
Lu Zai leaned over to help him unbuckle his seat belt, kissed his fingers, and said softly, "The film festival called me just now, saying that they want to set the theme as 'see the world clearly, and then love it'. "
Xia Jianjing was immediately delighted, and he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, isn't this the inscription I used to write essays in the past? Roman Rolland's quotations are enduring."
Lu Zai said, "I don't agree."
"Why?" Xia Jianjing tilted his head and asked, "I think this is pretty good, and it can echo with 'Guns and Roses'."
Lu Zai snorted. He has his own logic. As long as it suits him, he likes to hear even fallacies. If it doesn’t suit him, Paul Kochagin’s words will not work.
"Bullshit." Lu Zai said, "The only thing in this world that needs to be seen clearly is one's own heart."
Xia Jianjing asked him: "Then did you see clearly?"
Lu Zai shrugged with a smile, "I don't need it."
"Oh." Xia Jianjing was very speechless. Lu Zai always had double standards for others and himself. He didn't know what else to say about Lu Zai.
"You can see clearly." Lu Zai said, "See my heart clearly, and then love me."
With the previous lessons learned, Xia Jianjing didn't dare to fool around this time. He lowered his head and thought about it carefully, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he couldn't think of a perfect answer.
Xia Jianjing had an idea, and said shamelessly, "Well... I'll tell you when you catch up with me."
When Xia Jianjing came to Lu Zai, he raised his eyebrows and reluctantly agreed.
After dinner, Xia Jianjing sent Lu Zai to the station. Lu Zai's car arrived on the hour, and they separated outside the platform with little reluctance.
Lu Zai had long legs, and walked out of Xia Jianjing's line of sight in three or two steps. Xia Jianjing suddenly felt empty. On the way back to the research institute, he was so sad that he didn't dare to look at the empty co-pilot.
This loss lasted until the next day when he received a call from Lu Zai. Lu Zai was already in Hong Kong and was about to board the plane. He confessed his love to him in advance and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The annual leave was over within a few days after Lu Zai left, and the work of the research institute was as busy as ever. Xia Jianjing and another colleague were assigned to a new task group, and they were so busy that they were dizzy. few.
Xia Jianjing was also teasing Lu Zai before, except that he asked Lu Zai to call him back at noon on the first day, but later he couldn't bear to say anything, so their fixed call time was changed to the early morning in China, and Lu Zai's side It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening, and I had just finished work.
The content of their calls is still not nutritious. Sometimes the two of them are so tired that they don't want to talk, so they put their mobile phones on the phone and listen to the sound of each other.
At the end of the month, Xia Jianjing's heart, which had been tortured by work for a long time, began to stir again, and he couldn't help feeling excited.
Because Lu Zai has already started the handover work, and he will be able to set off and return in two days.
Xia Jianjing lay on the bed and asked Lu Zai again: "Is it the plane at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes!." Lu Zai laughed and couldn't help teasing him, "Xia Xiaogou, this is the number 17 you have asked."
"Then there is one more sentence I want to tell you No. 18 times." Xia Jianjing won't be shy across the phone, he turned over, lay on the bed and kicked his legs excitedly, "I'm so happy."
Lu Zai had a lot of things on hand today, he only had to chat with Xia Jianjing for one-tenth of the usual time before he had to get busy.
Xia Jianjing expressed his understanding, and said, "Then you should rest early after work and pay attention to your body."
Lu Zai nodded and replied, "You too."
Xia Jianjing hung up the phone but didn't sleep. He got up and cleaned the refrigerator, and made a list of things he planned to buy in the next two days.
He didn't think it was enough after doing all this, he took out his mobile phone to check the latest weather conditions, and added another item to the memo - drying the quilt.
Xia Jianjing was in such a good mood that he didn't even care about a colleague's temporary leave the next day, and gladly accepted the double workload that hit him head and face.
Xia Jianjing is used to turning off the phone and throwing the drawer when working, so as to maintain a state of full devotion, including after having an "improper relationship" with Lu Zai, his habit has not changed.
The same is true for Lu Zai. He has no distractions in his work, and all their contacts are in their spare time, and they will never disturb each other's normal work.
Xia Jianjing estimated the difficulty of data processing. If there is no accident today, he should be busy until late. After thinking about it, he sent a message to Lu Zai in advance to report that he might lose contact tonight.
The sun on Lu Zai's side hadn't risen yet, so naturally he didn't reply to Xia Jianjing's message.
Xia Jianjing didn't think much about it, so he turned off the phone and went to work.
However, it was strange that Xia Jianjing was busy until after two o'clock in the morning, and still did not receive any news from Lu Zai after turning on the machine.
Lu Zai's awkwardness has always been maintained at a flirtatious level, and Lu Zai can still tell the serious things clearly, but now he hasn't even replied "I know". The more Xia Jianjing thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong.
Xia Jianjing sat on the chair and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. He was extremely tired, but he couldn't stop panicking, feeling that something was going to happen.
Xia Jianjing calculated the time, and it was not ten o'clock in the evening at Lu Zai's side, so he dialed Lu Zai's phone.
There was a "beep" in the receiver, but Xia Jianjing's heart sank little by little, and he didn't give up until the familiar female voice came out.
Lu Zai didn't answer his call.
Xia Jianjing frowned, he didn't consider other possibilities at all, and felt that something happened to Lu Zai for no reason.
Xia Jianjing flipped through the address book, annoyed why he didn't take the initiative to leave Gu Xinghai or Yan Zheng's contact information, otherwise he wouldn't be panicking like a headless fly at this moment, his hands shaking so much that he couldn't hold the phone.
The entire floor was almost empty, only his laboratory was still lit. Xia Jianjing stood up and paced back and forth in the room unconsciously.
Xia Jianjing bit her nails, her mind was in a mess.
At first, he dialed Lu Zai's number every 10 minutes, but gradually, he became more and more flustered and redialed almost non-stop, making the phone hot when he held it.
Xia Jianjing himself couldn't count how many times he dialed in total. He had turned this action into a mechanized behavior, so when the call was suddenly connected, he was stunned for a long time without reacting.
There was a familiar voice on the receiver, but it wasn't the one he was expecting.
Gu Xinghai asked tentatively at the other end, "Whale boy?"
Xia Jianjing stabilized his mind, his voice was unbelievably hoarse, "It's...it's me."
"I said," Gu Xinghai patted his head and exhaled, "Lu Zai gave you a note of 'Puppy Head'. I guessed it was you, but I was afraid of identifying the wrong person."
Xia Jianjing didn't care about these at all, he couldn't stop trembling, and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Zai?"
"He just rolled it out, and he hasn't woken up yet." Gu Xinghai said, "Their car was attacked by rebels today."
Xia Jianjing's teeth were chattering, and he couldn't speak another word.
Gu Xinghai was directly shocked by Xia Jianjing's reaction, and he immediately realized that he had said something wrong.
The battlefield is a cruel place, who doesn't carry his head on his back.In Gu Xinghai's opinion, missing an arm or a broken leg is not a serious injury, let alone Lu Zai's beard and tail, and he still survived, it's nothing at all.If it weren't for his good personal relationship, he wouldn't even rush to the health team on purpose.
But Xia Jianjing couldn't do it, he wished he could hold Lu Zai in the palm of his hand, he couldn't even bear to let Lu Zai take the plane for seventeen or eighteen hours, let alone accept it. ?
Gu Xinghai laughed awkwardly, and quickly turned around, "Jingzi, Lu Zai is really fine, the shrapnel went right through his side, and his internal organs were not injured at all. But he is sitting in the back seat, the main problem is The back of the neck was hit hard, so I haven't woken up until now."
Xia Jianjing's eyes were dark for a moment, and he couldn't see anything clearly.He leaned on the wall, panting hard.
"I...he..." Xia Jianjing pinched himself, but it didn't help at all, "I, I..."
"Hey! Hey! Whale boy?!" Gu Xinghai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, completely helpless.
Gu Xinghai felt that Xia Jianjing was about to faint, and he regretted that he took this hot potato.
He was just worried, as soon as the health team arrived, he heard Lu Zai's cell phone ringing, and when he picked it up, it turned out like this.
In fact, we can't blame everyone for not paying attention. Lu Zai and the others in the car were injured, and Lu Zai was the least injured. The military doctor simply stopped the bleeding and pushed him to the side to lie down.
After all, the young man sitting on the co-pilot is still on the operating table. There are not enough manpower, so naturally he can't be as thoughtful as a normal hospital.
Gu Xinghai didn't know how to explain to Xia Jianjing, but fortunately Xia Jianjing slowed down first.
Xia Jianjing said: "I'm going to ask for leave now, I'll go see him."
"It's unrealistic, what are you doing with your passport?" Gu Xinghai patted his chest and assured him, "Listen to my brother, I'll help you look over it, it's really fine..."
Xia Jianjing refused to listen, he insisted: "I will find a way."
"Hey, don't..." Gu Xinghai felt that he had caused a catastrophe. Lu Zai would definitely get angry when he woke up. He unconsciously looked to the side and found that Lu Zai had woken up, "Jing, Jingzi, wait a minute!"
Gu Xinghai put the phone next to Lu Zai's head while trembling like his phone was hot, and then immediately called the military doctor over at the top of his voice, typical of a guilty conscience.
The call was still going on, Xia Jianjing could only listen to Luzai's situation at the other end.
The military doctor came over to look at Lu Zai's eyes, and asked him how he was feeling and whether he was dizzy.
Lu Zai wore a brace around his neck, but he was still thinking clearly.His face was calm, without even frowning.
Lu Zai briefly described his feelings to the military doctor, and then said to Gu Xinghai and the guards standing aside: "I'm fine."
The military doctor told him to lie down and observe for another night, and then left with the others.
When the door of the ward was closed, Lu Zai slowly turned his head and put his ear close to the phone that was talking.
Lu Zai's voice was dry, he opened his mouth, his voice was so soft that there was only a wisp of breath left, he sighed muffledly, and said, "Hi."
Xia Jianjing's lips trembled, he bit it hard and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts." Lu Zai snorted, completely different from the calm and self-sufficient appearance just now, "Puppy Xia, I'm injured, I have to go home and take care of him."
Xia Jianjing's vision blurred all of a sudden, and tears gushed out. The speed at which he wiped his face could not keep up with the speed at which the tears fell, so he simply stopped wiping.
Xia Jianjing sniffed and said, "Then come back, cub, I will take care of you."
