Lu Chunyan's meaning was clearly revealed, Xu Weihan's expression was gloomy, he pursed his lips, and smiled and said: "So you like this, next time you go out, take your children with you."

Lu Chunyan shook his head, "I can't make the decision, I have to ask him if he is willing to go."

"So baby?"

Lu Chunyan showed helplessness, Xu Weihan saw him like this, and before he opened his mouth, he said: "Forget it, then I won't force it, haha, Chunyan, I came here to see if you are better, since you are all recovered Now, then I don't worry." Xu Weihan paused, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

He almost ran away, as if standing behind was not Lu Chunyan, but a prairie fire.

Guo Zhao'an originally thought that Xu Weihan would stay for a meal after running over from Dayuan, but he just asked the kitchen to cook, and when he walked to the backyard gate, he saw Xu Weihan ran out in a panic.He yelled, Xu Weihan didn't even look at him, and passed him by.

Guo Zhaoan stepped over the threshold and entered. Lu Chunyan was about to go back to the house. He asked suspiciously: "Boss, Mr. Xu is leaving now? Won't you stay for dinner?"

Lu Chunyan's back paused, and he turned around with a calm expression.Guo Zhaoan heard him say: "He will not come again in the future."

Qiu Yao pricked up her ears, and when she heard footsteps outside the house, she immediately sat back on the sofa.

Lu Chunyan opened the door and drew the curtains, the dim yellow light was like the surface of a lake blown by the wind, soft as silk and satin.Qiuyao got up from the sofa, without slippers on, walked to Lu Chunyan barefoot, and said to him, "Look at that record player, there is no sound."

Lu Chunyan asked him to sit down first, Qiuyao knelt on the sofa, leaned her elbows on the back of the sofa, tilted her head to see him walk into the small room, and couldn't help raising her voice: "Where are you going?"

Lu Chunyan waved his hand to signal him not to come, and within a dozen seconds, he came out with a pair of socks that hadn't been torn open.Big green cotton socks with red flowers embroidered on the top of the socks, Qiu Yao turned around and leaned back on the sofa.

"Is this for me to wear?"

"You always forget to wear slippers. It's cold on the ground. It would be better to wear socks." Lu Chunyan said, knelt on the ground on one knee, and stretched out his hands to wrap around Qiuyao's ankles.

Qiu Yao was taken aback, her toes curled up, she couldn't help shrinking back, and said in a low voice, "I'll just do it myself."

"It's okay, I like to help you wear it."

The big green cotton socks are soft and cling to the skin, with almost no sense of pressure.Qiu Yao moved her toes, Lu Chunyan put down one of his feet and picked up the other.

Qiuyao looked down at Lu Chunyan, raised her hand, lightly touched the corner of Lu Chunyan's forehead with light white fingertips, and slid down the corner of the mandible along the line of the hairline.Lu Chunyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the finger pointing at his chin moved again, stroked the sharp corners, and finally lifted his chin.

Lu Chunyan raised his head, Qiuyao leaned closer, their eyes met, Lu Chunyan saw himself in Qiuyao's eyes.

Qiuyao didn't move her fingers away, and her short nails rubbed against her skin. He asked softly, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

Lu Chunyan's Adam's apple trembled, and Qiuyao lowered her eyes.

"I love you very much."

When the four words sounded, what was the frequency of the trembling of the Adam's apple, how many grams of ambiguity filled the air, the wind rolled up the leaves outside the window, and the sound of rustling and falling was heavy.

It is no longer a sincere heart that can be disposed of at will, and it is no longer an irrelevant love.The heavy four words, the love that was about to overflow from the chest, and Lu Chunyan, who was separated from the past, resisted choking, and repeated, "Because I love you."

"Love?" Qiu Yao looked at him blankly, retracted her fingers, and asked, "What is love?"

It's really a feng shui turn, Lu Chunyan smiled wryly in his heart, let out a long breath, his back slumped, and his forehead rested on Qiuyao's knee.Qiu Yao raised her hand, patted his head, and rubbed her hair with her palm, "Tell me, what is love? Why do you love me?"

Lu Chunyan said sullenly: "What's the reason for this? Just pretend that I just want to treat you unconditionally."

"Unconditional? Then you are not at a loss." Qiu Yao muttered, her lips pressed to Lu Chunyan's ear, and said in a breathy voice: "Then do you want me to love you too?"

Lu Chunyan raised her head suddenly, Qiuyao yelled, covered her nose, and looked at him accusingly, "Whatever you do, you hit me!"

Lu Chunyan apologized again and again, Qiuyao's nose was sore, tears fell down involuntarily, he cried and said, "It's all your fault, it hurts me to death."

Lu Chunyan was at a loss for a while, he held Qiuyao's face in his hands, and directly wiped the tears on Qiuyao's face with his cuff.Qiu Yao's eyes were flushed, and the tip of her nose was also red. Two lumps of red fell on her pink and white face, like a birthday peach.Lu Chunyan stared at him, still apologetic, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

With his index finger bent, his knuckles lightly brushed Qiuyao's cheek, and praised: "It's so beautiful."

Qiuyao took a breath, grabbed Lu Chunyan's arm with both hands, and shouted, "I want to get up."Lu Chunyan gave him a hand, and he sat up straight, his snow-white skin seemed to have been splashed with rouge, and it turned red a lot.

Qiu Yao ran to the record player in socks, pointed at it with a blushing face and said, "Quickly make it play."

Lu Chunyan stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, looked down and raised his eyebrows: "There is no record on it."

Qiu Yao said "Ah" with a dull expression.Lu Chunyan reached out to get the vinyl, and the cabinet where the film was placed was right behind Qiuyao. He stood in front of the cabinet, but Lu Chunyan didn't ask him to get out of the way, but stuck very close.Each other's breathing seemed to be right next to their ears, their hearts were beating fast, Qiu Yao raised her eyes slightly, and she could see Lu Chunyan's Adam's apple.

Lu Chunyan took a record of singing love, put it in the card slot, pulled down the stylus, and the music flowed slowly.

Lu Chunyan said: "I wear socks, do you want to dance?"

Qiu Yao looked down at the red flower and green socks on her feet, and said with a smile, "Okay."

……

Lu Chunyan lived here for the whole spring and summer, and he gave himself a long vacation. This parent couldn't bear to see Guo Zhao'an anymore, and Lu Chunyan, whose body was always making sideways remarks, should go back to work.

As the weather got cooler, the peach trees began to shed their leaves slowly. Qiuyao was not as energetic as Xia Tian. When she heard that Lu Chunyan was leaving, she felt very sad.Of course, it is impossible for Lu Chunyan to leave him here alone. During this period of time, he found someone to provide Qiuyao with identity information, and assigned the child's household registration to his side. Qiuyao is now considered a peach spirit with identity.

The night before it was decided to go back, Lu Chunyan started to pack his luggage.Qiu Yao lay on the sofa and watched him walking back and forth in the room, shaking his feet idly.When Lu Chunyan walked to his left side, he turned around and lay down on the left side. When he got to the right side, he turned his head and lay back down. He repeated this several times. In the end, half of his body almost fell off the sofa, and it was Lu Chunyan who picked him up. .

"What are you twisting around for?"

Lu Chunyan looked at him dumbfounded, Qiuyao shook her head, as if she had turned back and forth too many times, and she was a little dizzy.He knocked his head into Lu Chunyan's arms and asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving?"

"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Qiuyao said nothing, Lu Chunyan asked him to sit down, and went to get the document bag on the table, which contained some certificates.He took out an ID card from his bag and handed it to Qiu Yao, "This is for you."

"What is this?" Qiu Yao held the card with a blank expression on her face.

Lu Chunyan said: "ID card, everyone here has this."

"What can you do with this?"

"There are many things, such as booking air tickets, staying in hotels, and going to other faraway places."

"But I can't be too far away from here." Qiu Yao frowned.

"It doesn't matter, we won't go far." Lu Chunyan paused, then said softly, "I just want to leave some... traces to prove your existence."

Qiu Yao listened hard, but still didn't understand.He thought, Lu Chunyan was saying something he couldn't understand again.But he didn't care about it at the moment, he picked up the ID card and put it in front of his eyes, looked closer, staring at the photo on it, he turned around and asked: "Did you ask me to take a photo last time just to put it on this? "

Lu Chunyan nodded, Qiuyao looked at her photo, curled her lips and said, "My photo is so ugly, show me yours."

"Wait a minute, I'll get it." Lu Chunyan dug out his ID card from the bag and handed it to Qiuyao.Qiu Yao compared the two cards, looked at her own and at Lu Chunyan's, then grinned and said, "I take better photos than you."

He is really a child, so he will argue whether the photo is good or not.

Lu Chunyan said, "Of course you are prettier than me."

He didn't argue a word, Qiuyao felt that it was boring, so she turned her head and went to play with herself.

Guo Zhao'an originally thought that Lu Chunyan would go back to work immediately after packing his luggage, but he didn't expect that his boss would go to Lishan Temple, saying that he would go there to offer incense and fulfill his vows.Lu Chunyan's spirit said that he already had a deep understanding. Although he felt helpless in his heart, he turned the car around and went to Lishan.

Along the way, Qiuyao felt like she was going on an autumn outing. Sometimes she lay down on the window to watch the scenery outside, sometimes she picked up snacks to eat, and after a while she lay down on Lu Chunyan's lap.Guo Zhao'an took a few glances in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but said, "The mountain is going up ahead, and it will be steeper. Qiu Yao, please sit down, or you will hit your head."

Qiu Yao responded, and then really didn't move.

With a smile in his eyes, Lu Chunyan leaned his head close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "You really are a good boy."

Qiu Yao couldn't hear his teasing, and thought he was praising herself, so she smiled sweetly.

The car drove to the middle of the mountain, and then I had to walk up by myself.There were still many pilgrims coming and going, Lu Chunyan took Qiuyao to the mountain, but Qiuyao stood outside the door and refused to go in.Lu Chunyan asked Guo Zhaoan to sit outside with him for a while, then went to get three sticks of incense, lit them and put them in the incense burner outside, knelt down three times, stood up and walked inside.

Gradually the wind picked up, and the leaves of the sycamore trees in the monastery rustled.Lu Chunyan lived here for a long time before, everyone knew him, he called a familiar little monk, and asked softly: "Little master, do you still remember me?"

The little monk sized him up and slowly opened his eyes, "That milk tea..."

Lu Chunyan nodded, and then asked softly, "Do you know where Master Xueting has gone?"

He stood under the tree, a few leaves fell on his shoulders, and the leaves crisscrossed and collided, almost without a sound, falling silently, until when he landed, he heard the little monk say: "Master, he is gone."

"gone?"

"The Duanwen host told us that Master Xue Ting has given up all the obsessions of the world and returned to the place he should be."

Lu Chunyan was stunned, with complicated emotions in his heart, but he heard the little monk shaking his head and saying: "Master Xueting is really amazing, he doesn't even drink milk tea, I can't, in life, milk tea is my obsession."

Lu Chunyan smiled, raised his hand to touch the little monk's head, and said to him: "I want to drink so much, let's go, I'll buy it for you."

The little monk licked his lips, hesitantly said, "Forget it, I've already had a drink today."

After Lu Chunyan left, the little monk turned his head and looked at the person who was slowly coming out from behind the tree. He asked, "Master, why did you lie to him?"

Xue Ting picked up a leaf on the ground and squeezed it in his hand, he asked: "Is milk tea really that delicious?"

The little monk blushed, faltering.

Lu Chunyan came out of the temple with a body of sandalwood, and walked to the small pavilion outside the temple.Guo Zhao'an stood up, pointed to Qiu Yao who had fallen asleep lying on the stone table, and said in a low voice, "It should be because I was tired from playing in the car, and fell asleep lying on my stomach not long after I sat down just now."

Lu Chunyan pursed his lips and smiled, while Guo Zhaoan muttered beside him, "He's really a child."

Lu Chunyan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the broken hair on Qiuyao's face. He said, "It's just a child." A child who should be taken good care of.
