old love [rebirth]

Chapter 45

The weather was bad and very good on the day I went to pick up the airport. The forecast said that there would be heavy rainfall. When I was sitting in the taxi, the radio repeatedly reminded me how strong the wind is today.Chen Lou originally planned to take two umbrellas, but later thought that Lu Hening was with his family this time, most likely he would go directly to the underground to take a taxi, so there was no need to take an umbrella.

Moreover, his clothes today are indeed not suitable for walking outside. Inside is a new white shirt, and the fabric of the outer coat cannot withstand water.When he put on this outfit today, Chen Lou himself was a little stunned. He rarely went out in such a well-dressed manner regardless of the temperature. His image and temperament did look good. The only regret was that he had dark circles under his eyes, which looked quite serious.

Thinking of this, Chen Lou turned his head to look at himself from the rearview mirror of the taxi, and the more he looked at it, the more powerful he felt.

There was nothing he could do about it. He didn't have a very regular schedule, and he couldn't sleep well when Xiaohui was around. He always felt that her belly looked scary, and he was afraid that something would happen to her if he fell asleep.

This torment lasted until yesterday when Dacheng came to pick Xiaohui back. The former had the smoky smell of the bar Chen Lou was familiar with, while the latter had Chen Lou's most skilled expression of hatred.The young couple inevitably quarreled again, and after another life-and-death farce, the evening finally subsided, and they left hand in hand.

Chen Lou looked ridiculous, but couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. After the two left, he quickly lay down on the bed to catch up on sleep, but he couldn't sleep well, and had all kinds of nightmares throughout the night.Chen Lou knew that he saw his past in Xiaohui.

Even that night, when he was upset for a while and agreed to Lu Hening to pick him up at the airport, he also vaguely had the idea of ​​empathizing and letting Guan Yu give up earlier.

Fortunately, such thoughts are fleeting, he can't do it, and he can't accept it.It's just that the text message has already been sent, and he didn't want to go back on his word, so he replied to Lu Hening with a text message with a supplementary explanation, to the effect that he was going to drop off a friend by himself, so he happened to be at the airport that day.The subtext is that I didn't come to pick you up on purpose.

After sending it, he was relieved, and when he was flipping through his phone again waiting for a reply, he realized that he had made an own mistake—his first promised message was replied to Guan Yu.

In this way, Guan Yu asked him if he would eat maca, and he said yes.Lu Hening asked him if you were here to pick him up, and he said that he might be there just to take his friend to the airport.

Chen Lou: "..."

Chen Lou dug two holes for himself, and when he arrived at the airport, he received a text message from Guan Yu, saying that he was going to take a plane soon, and that if there were no accidents, he would be home by noon.These two days are the peak period for return trips, especially for the majority of students, half of them go out to play like Guan Yu, and will not return to school until the last day.Chen Lou didn't quite understand their thinking, and felt that it was unlucky for a person who was about to set off to say "no accident", so he didn't even bother to reply.

Lu Hening's flight arrived on time, and after Chen Lou picked up the person in the arrival hall, he also met Lu Hening's superb mother.

Ning's mother had a square handbag on her arm, and she was wearing a woolen skirt of fine texture. Her facial features were exquisite and well-maintained, and she really had a classic beauty.It's just that his attitude was a little contemptuous. Chen Lou found that when he called Auntie, the latter raised his eyes in a very subtle way, which seemed a bit condescending.

Ning Shan had already greeted Chen Lou with a smile, and made a face at Chen Lou from an angle her mother didn't see, obviously very dissatisfied with her mother's behavior.

Lu Hening was also very sorry, after they walked a few steps forward together, they pulled Chen Lou's arm, and the two deliberately slowed down two steps and fell behind.

The luggage was piled up on the luggage cart, Lu Hening pushed it, Chen Lou turned his face and counted, there were four big ones, and two mini ones on top.In addition to the two that Ning Shan was pushing in front, she was not only a little surprised: "You have so much luggage?"

Lu Hening smiled, with a helpless expression on his face: "Otherwise, I would like to ask you to help me. It's really difficult for me to be alone." He raised his head to indicate Ning Shan's direction and said, "All things belonging to me and Shanshan are in her hands. In the two boxes in the box, these belong to my mother."

Seeing Chen Lou's eyes widen when he said this, he couldn't help laughing: "I think it's exaggerated, but I'll tell you, I used to go out like this. As long as it's a trip of more than three days, only two suitcases are enough for my carry-on luggage." .”

"What are you putting in so much?" Chen Lou was stunned.

"Clothes, everyday clothes, from underpants to coats, matching shoes, carry-on bags, and sometimes weather conditions, occasions to attend, and the tastes of the people around, at least one suit a day, dirty and clean Can't put one. Besides, there are setting gels, perfumes, sprays..."

Chen Lou opened his mouth wider and wider, Lu Hening smiled and said, "The flies are going to fly in."

Chen Lou: "..." He closed his mouth silently, then asked after a pause, "Then according to your previous habits, you have been out for more than ten days this time, so how much luggage do you have to bring?"

"Maybe," Lu Hening said, "especially when going to a relative's house, I usually take half and buy the other half, and when I go shopping with them there, I buy new products together, and when I'm done shopping, I can't wear it and then I buy a suitcase. When two came back, it turned into four." He smiled and said, "So this time my mother is not happy, and thinks I'm embarrassing for her."

"Why bother?" Chen Lou didn't understand, motioned him to give the car to him and said, "It's all my own money."

"Yes, but I understand the truth, but it's a bit difficult to change," Lu Hening saw him take the car, and explained after a pause: "The people I met before... are all like that, but they have capital, I No, so in comparison, I was actually slapping my face to look fat. Shanshan had some complaints about this before, but she has a soft temper, and she was afraid that I would be overwhelmed by what she said."

Chen Lou nodded: "She is indeed a good sister."

"Well," Lu Hening smiled slightly, "It's also thanks to her knowing you, otherwise I'm still obsessed with it."

"What does this have to do with me," Chen Lou said, "It's you who want to change."

"It would be quite difficult without you." Lu Hening tilted his head and thought for a while, looked at him and said, "For example, I used to be like an ordinary girl, even with small eyes and protruding mouth, but my face was numb. After putting on makeup once, my image and temperament were turned upside down. People around me were full of praise and praised me as a beauty every day. If I did this for a day or two, I might think it was a surprise, but after a long time, I would feel that those compliments are addictive , I can’t live without makeup, I’m not me at all without makeup.”

"And then," Chen Lou was delighted when he heard his comparison, "Then one day you found another me with small eyes, small mouth and pockmarked face, and you woke up?"

Lu Hening opened his mouth, only to realize that his metaphor was not appropriate.

The two couldn't help smiling at each other for a while, Ning's mother and Ning Shan had already disappeared, Lu Hening rarely showed a slight embarrassment, and said, "Wait a minute, let me think about how to get round."

"No need to circle, I know what you mean," Chen Lou said with a smile, "In short, this is a good thing."

The two of them chatted and laughed and arrived at the taxi queue. Ning's mother and Ning Shan were at the front, separated by a few people.Seeing Lu Hening approaching, Ning Shan waved her hand quickly, signaling him to share a box.

Chen Lou waited in line at the back, and after watching Ning Shan's car drive away, he couldn't help asking, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Ning Shan pointed at him just now, and she didn't know what she said to Lu Hening, which made the latter also look at him, and turned around to slap Ning Shan.

Lu Hening smiled, glanced at him and said, "She asked me to ask, are you dressing up like this today to see off your friends or to pick me up."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Chen Lou's face with great interest. Chen Lou clicked his tongue, turned his face away and said, "Of course it's a gift for a friend. If I pick you up, it's for hard work. Why don't you change into new clothes."

"Sounds very reasonable," Lu Hening said with a half-smile, "Is it the friend who cooked for you on New Year's Eve?" He looked at Chen Lou for a moment, then added, "The words are quite interesting. "

Chen Lou's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered Guan Yu's stupid reply that day, if it was someone else, he might just laugh it off as a joke.But Lu Hening thought carefully, and at least he figured out his orientation, not to mention anything else.

Thinking of this, he inevitably thought of Guan Yu again.

About that day, his reply exceeded the latter's expectations. He found that he was a little depressed after his own trouble, so he turned off the phone and went back to sleep.When I turned it on the next day, I received four or five messages in a row, all of which were sent early in the morning.There are irritating follow-ups such as "I heard that maca can strengthen yang, should I buy you some more", and there are also nonsense such as "Have you eaten breakfast" and "How is the weather these days".

Chen Lou is not completely ruthless. From the very beginning, Guan Yu's every show of favor and weakness is hooking up the few memories he had before.

Then he discovered that his memory probably had a problem.In fact, it’s not too serious. For example, Guan Yu’s behavior of posting photos every day made him feel very familiar, and the vague emotions that followed were also very touching. But after thinking about it, he found that he didn’t remember having such an experience. .Things like this happened again before, Chen Lou didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he tried to recall these days, he found it difficult.

He really can't remember.

Chen Lou quickly gave up.He felt that no matter what happened in the past, now, soft heart towards Guan Yu is the last emotion that should not exist.

It's hard to say which of the two of them is the one trapped in the past. Chen Lou remembers a famous four-panel cartoon. One person hugged a cactus, and then left with thorns and wounds all over his body. Later, the second person came Hug, and stand happily with the thornless cactus.

That cartoon once caused various controversies on the Internet, which led to different forms of chicken soup for the soul and golden sentences of love.At that time, Chen Lou still felt that the one who left with the thorns was too stupid, leaving the good things for the next one in vain.But now that he was seated correctly, he realized that turning back is far more difficult than leaving.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and it didn't take long to drive out from the airport when the bean-sized raindrops fell down.The air quickly became a bit stuffy, and the visibility on the road was also very low.

Chen Lou has been silent since he got in the car. Lu Hening looked at his expression in the rearview mirror and felt that for a moment, Chen Lou was full of thoughts and far away from this world.

That expression was a bit erratic, whether it was the eyes looking out of the window or the curvature of the corners of the mouth, there was a bit of inexplicable melancholy.He coughed lightly, trying to divert his attention, when he heard a piece of news interrupted in the love song that was playing in the taxi.

"... On the [-]st, the approach bridge of Changshui Airport in Kunming, Yunnan Province collapsed..."

Chen Lou's gaze quickly retracted, and then his pupils seemed to dilate rapidly in an instant. Lu Hening was in a daze for a while, but when he looked again, he found that the latter's expression seemed very normal, but his face was very pale, and the words he spit out suddenly made people feel uncomfortable. surprised.

"Master," Chen Lou said, "Please pull over and let me get off."
