Chapter 76
Chapter 76
?? After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhengru looked at the call records on his phone, his two beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.
?? If he remembers correctly, since Xu Zhengxi's family immigrated to the United States, he basically will not return to China around the Spring Festival holiday.
?? Why did you suddenly come back this year?
?? Before I could think about it, the phone rang again.
?? Seeing that it was Bai Hui's call, Liu Zhengru picked up the phone, took his things and walked out.
?? "Bai Hui, are you here?"
"Well," Bai Hui said, "the car is parked at the entrance of the hospital, you can see it when you come out."
??In order to run business and discuss cooperation, Bai Hui bought a car with his first money from selling software. It is not particularly high-end, but it has good performance, and is suitable as a means of transportation for his business at the start-up stage.
??The most important thing is that Liu Zhengru accompanied him to choose the first car in his life.
?? Although it is convenient to drive to and from get off work, sometimes Liu Zhengru is a little tired after a busy day.
??Bai Hui's company is now on the right track. As long as he is free, he will definitely come to the hospital to pick up Liu Zhengru.
?? Bai Hui lowered the car window, and when he looked up, he saw Liu Zhengru walking towards him quickly.
??Liu Zhengru came out in a hurry and only had time to put his coat on his hands. The cold north wind made the hem of his clothes rattle.
?? Bai Hui opened the co-pilot's door and let Liu Zhengru sit up with a chill.
??The temperature in the air seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly, Bai Hui frowned slightly, reached out to take the coat, spread it out in front of Liu Zhengru.After fastening the seat belt for someone, he grabbed Liu Zhengru's cold hand and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. Feeling that it was not warm enough, he pulled it over and hid it in his thick and warm sweater. "Why don't you come out with your coat on, what should you do if you're freezing?"
?? Bai Hui's palms were hot, and the inside of the sweater was also comfortingly warm. Liu Zhengru was afraid of freezing Bai Hui, so he shrank his hands and wanted to take them back, but Bai Hui held them tightly. "Wait until it warms up."
?? As he spoke, he turned the air conditioner up a few more degrees.
??Liu Zhengru smiled helplessly: "It's already warm. It's not good to park the car in front of the hospital. You should drive well. I'm not cold."
??It wasn't until the chill felt in the palm of his hand subsided, that Bai Hui reluctantly let go of his hand, but still emphasized: "The coat is on, don't take it away."
??Liu Zhengru paused as he was about to open his coat, and obediently retracted his hands into the clothes.
??At this moment, there are signs of traffic jams in Beijing during the rush hour. Coupled with the heavy traffic at the entrance of the hospital, it took Bai Hui more than ten minutes to drive out.
??Liu Zhengru looked at the intersection ahead, and said to Bai Hui, "Turn left."
??Bai Hui turned the steering wheel to change lanes, feeling puzzled, and asked, "Do you want to buy something?" They had to turn right to go home, and now they turned left to go to the city center.
??Liu Zhengru shook his head, turned to look at him, and said softly: "Xu Zhengxi has returned to China, and said to have a meal together."
??Bai Hui's hand holding the steering wheel tightened. When he called Liu Zhengru for the first time, it showed that he was on the phone. So it was Xu Zhengxi's call?
??He kept his face calm and said calmly, "Then I'll take you there."
"No, let's go together," Liu Zhengru observed Bai Hui's expression, it was obvious that Bai Hui relaxed a lot just after he said this.
??Thinking back carefully now, when I met Xu Zhengxi in City B, although Bai Hui said he was polite on the surface, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.In the past, Quan was a teenager who was worried about his friend being snatched away, but now that he thinks about it, it was probably at that time that Bai Hui wanted to express his feelings but didn't dare, so he could only hold back his sulking.
??It happened that the red light was on ahead, and Liu Zhengru stretched out his hand to cover Bai Hui's hand on the steering wheel, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll just go and talk to him, and I won't eat."
??Bai Hui held his hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it: "Then you want to go shopping and cook with me."
?? Hearing Bai Hui's slightly coquettish tone, Liu Zhengru smiled softly: "Okay, let's go shopping and cook together after we finish talking."
?? Bai Hui nodded vigorously, holding onto Liu Zhengru's hand and never letting go.
??No matter what Xu Zhengxi came back to find Zhengru this time, he would never let go of Zhengru's hand in this life.
??…
??Xu Zhengxi chose a Spanish restaurant. The restaurant is behind a large shopping mall in the CBD. It is a small two-story bungalow.Quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, you can leave the surrounding noise behind as soon as you drive in, and you can even vaguely hear the melodious sound of a violin coming from the store.
??There are not many vehicles in the parking space at the entrance of the restaurant, but each one is worth a lot of money. Bai Hui's car is parked in the middle, which feels rather dwarfed by comparison.
??Liu Zhengru's hand was still being held by Bai Hui, he had no choice but to lead him into the room.
?? The waiter at the door saw the visitor and hurried forward to greet him. "Hello, do you have a reservation?"
??Liu Zhengru: "Hello, Xu Zhengxi said that he has reserved a place with you..."
?? Before the words finished, the waiter smiled and said, "Mr. Xu is already waiting for you on the second floor, please follow me."
?? After going upstairs, Liu Zhengru realized that there were no people on the entire second floor, even though there were obviously many people on the first floor.
??The music of the violin became clearer as we went upstairs. Liu Zhengru had an answer in his mind, and asked, "Is the second floor covered?"
?? The waiter smiled and rolled his eyes: "Yes, your friend has reserved the second floor. If you need anything, you can call the waiter."
??Liu Zhengru: "..."
??Although he knew that Xu Zhengxi liked to show off, but it was a bit exaggerated to have a meal with him and cover the entire floor.
?? When Liu Zhengru and Bai Hui arrived, Xu Zhengxi was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, playing the violin with his head slightly tilted.
??On the second floor, there was only one table with tableware on it, and a delicate and beautiful candle was burning in the middle, and the refreshing fragrance of flowers wafted in the air.
?? Bai Hui had sharp eyes, and as soon as he went upstairs, he saw the bouquet of flowers placed beside the seat.Although most of it was covered by the tablecloth, the exposed half of the rose was enough for him to guess what it was.
?? His expression sank, and he unconsciously tightened Liu Zhengru's hand a little.
??Liu Zhengru had pain in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Bai Hui's complexion was not good.
??The hands they held shook lightly. As soon as Bai Hui lowered his head, he saw the tenderness and comfort in Liu Zhengru's eyes.
?? At this moment, his mood stabilized.
??He is the one who is with Liu Zhengru now, so why should he worry??
?? Even the people who grew up with Zhengru, so many years, can only prove that friends are always friends.
??Liu Zhengru shouted at the people: "Xu Zhengxi."
?? Hearing this sound, Xu Zhengxi stopped playing the piano, turned around with a smile on his face and said, "Zhengru, you are here..."
??Staring at the holding hands of Liu Zhengru and Bai Hui, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were dimmed: "Didn't you say we eat together?"
??The menu is available upstairs, and the customers who can book the entire second floor are obviously happy. After the waiter brought the two of them to the second floor, they went downstairs.
??Liu Zhengru smiled, with just the right amount of alienation in his smile: "I still have something to do later, and you said you invited me to dinner. I think it's better to meet you in person."
?? He added: "After all, we are old friends." It's not like he didn't notice the bouquet of roses on the table foot. In the relationship, it is not like a simple friendship.
??Liu Zhengru thought that when he went to America last year, Xu Zhengxi answered Bai Hui's call, read Bai Hui's text message... and didn't tell him.
??From the standpoint of a friend, Xu Zhengxi would not do this.
?? But it all makes sense from a different standpoint.
??Xu Zhengxi walked up to Liu Zhengru with a smile that was not a smile, and glanced at the hands they still held: "Aren't you afraid that your old friend will be sad if you bring Bai Hui?"
?? Liu Zhengru generously raised his clasped hands, and looked into Xu Zhengxi's eyes: "Why is my old friend sad? You are the one who should bless me the most, right?"
??Xu Zhengxi was stunned for a moment, met Liu Zhengru's eyes, his expression darkened, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by your father?"
??Liu Zhengru laughed softly: "I have already left the Liu family and have nothing to do with them. What do I have to worry about?"
"Then..." Xu Zhengxi took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to Liu Zhengru: "Old friend, I can only bless you."
?? "Thank you," Liu Zhengru held his hand in a relieved and relaxed tone.
?? When living in Liu's family was difficult before, other than his mother, Xu Zhengxi was the one who enlightened him. After being a friend for so many years, Liu Zhengru still hopes to continue to have this friend.
?? Fortunately, Xu Zhengxi understood.
?? Some words, do not need to say more, do not have to say clearly.
?? Xu Zhengxi turned around and waved his hands at the two of them: "Let's go, didn't you say you still have something to do?"
??He picked up the violin again and put it on his shoulders: "I still have a bunch of friends who want to get together!"
??Looking at the back of Xu Zhengxi playing the piano, Liu Zhengru slightly hooked his lips, and left with Bai Hui.
??The two returned to the car, and Bai Hui fastened the seat belt on Liu Zhengru. He pressed Liu Zhengru's forehead and said softly, "Zhengru, I'm very happy."
??Liu Zhengru thought he would say something, but he didn't expect such a sentence. He smiled and raised his hand to touch Bai Hui's head: "Let's go, let's cook."
??…
??The Spring Festival travel crowd is not so crowded at this moment, but there are still a lot of people. The two of them only booked a flight back to S City at night.Fortunately, it was only a four-hour flight from S City to Beijing, and the two of them returned home after a long and dusty journey, washed up briefly, and went back to their room to rest.
?? The biological clocks of the two are there, and they both get up very early the next day.Liu Zhengru ate the breakfast made by Bai Hui, and said, "Before visiting grandma, accompany me to see mom first."
??Bai Hui served him a bowl of porridge, and said softly, "Okay."
?? When I accompanied Liu Zhengru to the cemetery last time, the two of them were still hiding their thoughts. When they come back now, the relationship between the two has changed.
??Liu Zhengru originally wanted to say that the two of them should just buy a bunch of flowers, but Bai Hui didn't want to, so he just bought another bunch.
??Even though Bai Hui has a thick skin, he is too embarrassed to say that he must bring something when he sees his mother-in-law.
??Although it is winter, the weather today is unexpectedly warm, and the sun shines softly on my body, dispelling a lot of the heaviness in my heart.
?? Liu Zhengru carefully cleaned one side of the tombstone before placing the bouquet in front of the tomb.The woman in the photo still had a graceful and gentle smile. Liu Zhengru looked at it quietly for a while and said, "Mom, long time no see."
?? He said softly: "I brought someone to see you today, he is mine..." Liu Zhengru looked at Bai Hui, and suddenly got stuck.What mother once hoped was that he could form an ordinary family by himself, with a gentle wife and well-behaved children.
??Now all this has come to naught, and Liu Zhengru didn't know how to tell his mother about it for a while.
??Bai Hui took a step forward, bowed to put the bouquet, and said sincerely and seriously: "Hi mother-in-law, I'm Bai Hui, and you can rest assured to entrust Zhengru to me..."
??Liu Zhengru laughed and cursed and interrupted him: "Bai Hui, don't talk nonsense in front of my mother."
?? Bai Hui glanced at him slightly wronged, closed his mouth and stood behind him without speaking.
?? Seeing Bai Hui like this, Liu Zhengru felt a little uncomfortable again.
??It's not that he doesn't want to tell his mother about Bai Hui's identity.
??He can easily and naturally tell his colleagues about this feeling, but he doesn't know whether he should tell his mother who has worked hard and struggled for him all his life.
??He struggled in his heart for a long time, turned around and looked at Bai Hui, and then at his mother's photo.
?? The smile in the photo is warm and powerful, and the mother's gentle and kind appearance seems to emerge before her eyes again.
?? She has thought about Liu Zhengru all her life, and she should stand by his side when it comes to feelings.
??He didn't want to hide it from his mother. Although he couldn't get his mother's blessing in person, he still decided to tell her honestly.
??Liu Zhengru made up his mind, smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Bai Hui.
??Bai Hui pursed his lips: "What are you doing?" He obviously lost his temper.
??Liu Zhengru smiled, pulled Bai Hui back to his side, and said actively: "This is my favorite person, you will bless us."
?? He said softly: "I will live a good life with him, and I will work hard to live happily."
??Bai Hui clenched his hands, and took a step closer to Liu Zhengru, with a convincing affirmation in his tone: "I will definitely make Zhengru happy."
??Liu Zhengru looked up at him, his eyes were open and gentle, with a faint smile on his face, his whole person looked bright and good-looking in the sunlight.
??The two drove to the nursing home. Grandma Bai Hui had already received a call that the two wanted to come and have lunch with her. Early in the morning, she walked slowly outside the building and sat on a bench waiting for someone to come.
?? Liu Zhengru rolled down the car window, and saw the old man standing up with a wrinkled face and waving at them.
?? There are still many old ladies around the old man. They are laughing together at the moment, and when they get closer, they will boast one by one:
"Oh, Grandma Bai is so lucky!"
?? "Isn't it? These two grandsons are so good-looking."
?? "Not only is she good-looking, but I heard that one is a doctor and the other is a student of University B. Ouch, this is really amazing."
??Grandma Bai's spirit has improved a lot. The treatment effect of the nursing home over the past year is obvious. At this moment, the old man can stand up and hold the hands of "two grandchildren".
??The old man's dry and thin hands were a bit cold, but when holding them, Bai Hui and Liu Zhengru felt at ease.
??The two looked at each other and smiled: Grandma is in good health, that's great.
??Grandma Bai took one hand and said to the other grandmas with a smile: "Your sons and grandchildren are filial! I want to take my grandson to rest."
?? She looked at Bai Hui and Liu Zhengru lovingly: "I must be tired after driving for a long time."
??The others dispersed with a smile, and Liu Zhengru and Bai Hui supported Grandma Bai back to the room.Auntie the nurse knew that they were coming, so she made breakfast and washed for Grandma Bai Hui, and took a half-day off to go home first.
??Grandma Bai took the two of them back to the room, let them sit down as soon as they entered the room, and went to the cabinet to find something: "I made several more safety knots for you two, and the current ones are all It’s the best after practice, you can take it with you when the time comes.”
?? She was searching in the cabinet while muttering, maybe the old man hid it too well, so she had to take out the clothes and put them on the bed to search slowly.
??Bai Hui told her not to look for it anymore, but Grandma Bai refused to listen and insisted on finding it. Bai Hui had no choice but to let her.
??Looking at the old man's good spirits, Liu Zhengru suddenly felt worried.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Hui gently bumped his shoulder and asked with concern.
?? Liu Zhengru: "Think about you and me."
?? Bai Hui smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
"Well," Liu Zhengru nodded, "I'm afraid." Grandma Bai is Bai Hui's only relative, and he can't and doesn't dare to give the old man any stimulation.
"Don't be afraid," Bai Hui leaned over, and gently pinched Liu Zhengru's face, his hands felt delicate and soft, "I trust my grandma."
??Grandma Bai managed to find a few safe knots at the bottom of the box. She turned around happily and saw her grandson pinching Dr. Liu's face with a smile. It was intimate and natural.
