Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 45

Shen Kuo brought the steaming porridge over, and Lu Yan stood up and sat on the carpet beside the coffee table.

“So hungry!” She reached out to pick up the porridge bowl.

Shen Kuo slapped her hand away and said, “Eat when it’s cold.”

So Lu Yan sat on the side of the coffee table with her knees on her knees, waiting patiently for the bowl of steaming vegetable porridge to cool down.

Shen Kuo saw the stars appearing in her eyes, she was really hungry. After a moment of silence, he took the porridge bowl, stirred the small spoon, and gently blew it to let the porridge cool down as soon as possible.

Lu Yan squatted next to him, urging her to ask: “Alright… Alright, alright.”

Shen Kuo glanced at her silently, and murmured, “Idiot.”

The little girl said grievously: “Why scold me.”

“I feel sick, why don’t you call me right away.”

“I’m thinking, just sleep for a while.”

Shen Kuo constricted his eyes, looked at her melancholy appearance, pursed his mouth, silently continued to stir the hot porridge.

His emotions are not restrained, but Lu Yan can feel his long and deep affection from his considerate movements.

Such a man will always give people an inexplicable stability and peace of mind.

“Okay, you can eat it.” Shen Kuo handed the porridge to her.

Lu Yan smiled slyly and deliberately said: “Your hands are weak, you feed me.”

Shen Kuo knew that the little girl deliberately acted like a baby, and said indifferently, “Dreaming.”

Lu Yan curled her lips and picked up the spoon by herself.

In fact, sometimes, the difference of the times can still be clearly felt.

Shen Kuo is quite different from the boys of Lu Yan’s time. He has the tenacity of his father’s generation. He has not experienced the infestation of various information in the Internet age, and his mind is simpler.

Especially in terms of feelings, he doesn’t even know how to please girls. Many emotions are brewing in his heart.

After all, in that era, the basic communication between men and women in love was even maintained by love letters and letterheads. There were not too many sticky and greasy ingredients, and they did not speak any earthy love words.

But because of this, the occasional warmth is even more precious.

Lu Yan used a spoon to pound the porridge. The thick vegetable porridge made her thinner and thinner. Shen Kuo’s index fingers buckled and knocked on the table: “Concentrate on eating.”

“Oh!” The little girl put down the spoon, picked up the bowl and took a sip: “Um!”

His mouth was scalded.

Shen Kuo was a little helpless, took the spoon in her hand, scooped up the rice porridge and dried it for a few seconds before feeding it to her lips—

“Open your mouth.”

Lu Yan opened her mouth obediently and ate the rice porridge he fed.

Just like this, the porridge in the bowl bottomed out. Lu Yan didn’t feel full at all, maybe all her attention was on the man in front of her.

She leaned the back of her head on his arm and said with a smile: “Some people say no with their mouths, they are very honest…”

Shen Kuo got up to clean up the dishes and unceremoniously let her head empty.

“This is not an example.”

“It’s so fragrant!”

When Shen Kuo got up, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed.

After washing the dishes, it was getting late, and crackling fireworks came from the window, which was very lively.

When Shen Kuo came out of the kitchen, he saw the little girl sitting on the sofa wearing a fluffy beige cotton pajamas. The dense black hair showed the fairness and moisture of her skin, and she looked really well-behaved.

He didn’t dare to linger on her for too long, he hurriedly moved away, looked at the all-wooden luxury living room, and chatted casually: “Your house is very big.”

“Yeah, I don’t like living in such a big house. When my dad and I were two people, living in a two-bedroom house was more than enough, and it was special…”

Lu Yan said halfway, and suddenly stopped.

Shen Kuo seemed to be waiting for her next words, but there was no more. He looked at her: “What else is special?”

“No, nothing.”

Lu Yan knew that he had missed her mouth, so Gu left and right, he said, “Come here and sit, don’t stand.”

He walked to the other end of the sofa and sat down, looked at the night out the window, and asked casually, “Won’t the family be back tonight?”

“Well, leaving relatives, I should wait until tomorrow morning.”

“Lu Yan, when did your illness get better?”

“What disease?”

Shen Kuo looked at her: “I remember that many people knew that the youngest daughter of the Lu family was sick, but you are normal now.”

Lu Yan panicked, her eyes flickered, obviously panicked—

“I… That’s it.”

The subtle changes in her expression were not enough for Shen Kuo, which seemed to confirm Ye Jiaqi’s words that the little girl had a secret, and deliberately kept it from him.

Shen Kuo stared at her closely: “Really?”

Lu Yan’s nervous heartstring collapsed to the extreme, and the moment he could not bear it, the ceiling light at home flashed, and it went out with a sizzle.

The whole room was plunged into silent darkness.

power cut?

Shen Kuo went to the window and looked out. Many people walked out of the house and asked about the neighborhood.

“It shouldn’t be a trip.” He said, “Everyone is out of power.”

In the darkness, Lu Yan actually felt relieved.

The man’s aura is too strong, and it is difficult for anyone to maintain his composure under his scorching gaze.

Lu Yan felt that if he watched him for a few seconds, the secret would be invisible.

She could tell anyone this secret, but she couldn’t let Shen Kuo know.

Absolutely, absolutely not let him know.

Shen Kuo didn’t need to look at it to know that the little girl was tense, and the anxious factor in the air ignited.

She didn’t say it now, naturally there was her reason, and Shen Kuo didn’t force her.

He has always been a man who knows how to advance and retreat.

So he stopped struggling with this topic, walked over, stood in front of the sofa, and said, “The electricity in residential areas should not stop for too long.”

“Then what if there is no call?”

“Then go to sleep.”

“…I can’t sleep.”

“So courageous?”

“Yes.”

Perhaps because of not having a mother, Lu Yan was born timid. When she was a child, no matter how busy Lu Zhen was at work, she had to go home with her daughter every night.

Now I’m a little more courageous, I can sleep alone at home with the light on, but it won’t work if the power goes out, and she won’t do it resolutely, in case there is something in the dark, she can’t turn on the light…

I shudder when I think about it.

Shen Kuo joked: “So, you want me to stay?”

“I didn’t say that!”

“Okay, bye bye.”

“Bye bye, bye bye!”

Shen Kuo got up to leave. After all, Lu Yan grabbed the corner of his clothes dubiously, and gently tugged.

“You… wait until the call comes.”

She was about to cry.

Shen Kuo was only teasing her to relieve the tension just now, so he did not leave and sat on the sofa again.

Lu Yan approached Shen Kuo subconsciously and sat beside him. Perhaps due to psychological effects, Lu Yan felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and she could even hear his steady and gentle breathing.

“Strange, how could the power go out.”

The boy didn’t answer, as if thinking about something, Lu Yan spoke to himself without disturbing him.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, Shen Kuo’s burning palm suddenly covered the back of her hand, gently covering it.

Lu Yan was full of spirits and looked at him suddenly.

In the dark, only his tall and straight figure can be seen, and he can’t see his face, let alone his expression.

His palm was rough and thick, and he seemed to use force to hold the back of her hand tightly.

Lu Yan can also hear her heartbeat—

Boom, boom, boom!

The two of them did not speak, but they clasped their hands tightly. With the silence of the two of them, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more ambiguous.

Hold… hold hands?

During this period of time, Shen Kuo has been in a relatively restrained state of the two people getting along, and has never actively touched her.

Most of the time, it was Lu Yan who was arrogantly flirting, and it was the sort of running away after flirting.

He was suddenly like this…

Lu Yan was flustered, her face flushed to the base of her neck.

In the darkness, Shen Kuo kept holding her hand without letting go.

Lu Yan also clenched her fist tightly, so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

She was afraid that he would make the next move.

Because of this kind of time… she was really totally blank and didn’t know how to react.

Fortunately, Shen Kuo did nothing. Two minutes later, the light suddenly turned on, and he immediately let go of her, as if nothing had happened just now.

He stood up and said, “It’s a call, I should go back.”

“Well, be careful on the way.”

Lu Yan didn’t dare to look up at him.

The young man hurriedly walked to the door, then turned back stiffly: “I didn’t get the key.”

He picked up the keychain that had just fallen on the table, and accelerated his pace to leave.

Lu Yan only noticed that his cheeks also seemed to be flushed.

Shen Kuo actually… blushed!

A man like him is also shy and nervous.

However, when he was nervous, Lu Yan was not nervous at all.

If there is a camera at this time, she must take a picture of his blushing appearance and show it to the cold, reserved and unsmiling “Master Shen” twenty years later.

What kind of scene is this.

“Be careful when you go home.”

“Um.”

He ran away, Lu Yan smiled, feeling inexplicably, the shy Shen Kuo…a little cute.

The new semester begins, and Shen Kuo and Lu Zhen’s third-year seniors have entered an intense review preparation stage.

Lu Zhen, on the one hand, wanted to gain Lu Jian’s approval, and on the other hand, he wanted to become a better self for Jian Yao to see.

Therefore, he reorganized his morale and started the final sprint.

And Shen Kuo put all his energy into learning.

Lu Yan knows that he may be smart, but he is definitely not the kind of person who “can get full marks in any way he learns” that his classmates think. All his results come from his hard work and hard work.

Therefore, Lu Yan also consciously became a sensible girlfriend and did not disturb Shen Kuo’s study.

The peaceful life was broken on a sunny afternoon at the end of March.

Shi Ya called a few girls and blocked Lu Yan at the back door of the deserted little garden in the school.

Lu Yan hadn’t seen Shi Ya for a long time.

Since leaving Luzhai, no one has controlled Shiya, and her style has changed, and she has begun to develop in the direction of a “social sister”. She is dressed “eclectic” and has a personality. She lay down with yellow hair and wore it. Ear studs.

Lu Yan had already heard of her changes. It was said that her boyfriend Wu Tianhan was a sluggish guy, rich and powerful at home, and always bullied classmates at school.

After Shi Ya followed such a man, it was natural that she would be fascinated by her.

In the past, she was always afraid of being blinded by others, and her mind was very sensitive and fragile. Now it is different. Now she has Wu Tianhan’s backing and reliance, and slowly began to become arrogant and domineering, as if she wanted to take what she had suffered in the past. All the stuffiness came out.

She stood arrogantly in front of Lu Yan, and at the same time, several “little sisters” who were equally outrageously dressed up next to her stood in the way of Lu Yan very rudely.

Lu Yan keenly sensed the hostility in their eyes that they wanted to “do something”.

“Sister, it’s been a long time.” Shi Ya whistled and greeted her with a smile, calm and calm.

Lu Yan bluntly said: “Since you have left the Lu family, don’t let your sisters and sisters bark.”

After all, two people have nothing to do with each other.

Shi Ya was too lazy to greet Lu Yan, and asked bluntly: “It was you who sued my mother and told me about Wu Tianhan, right?”

“I’m not so busy, go and tell your mother to sue you.”

Lu Yanman casually said, “It’s your mother’s target that always arrives at Lu Zhen. I’ll let her be distracted.”

Anyway, Shi Ya let Shi Xuexian give a lesson, saying that she has no feminine demeanor now, how to marry into a high school in the future, how to tie the heart of men, the young masters of those big families will not like her now. …

It made Shi Ya very shameless.

She felt angry in her stomach, and today she settled the ledger with Lu Yan.

She winked at the few little sisters around her, they knew, and strode towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan stepped back defensively, still being pulled by their arms.

“What are you doing, let go!”

They didn’t do anything to her, they just controlled her with their hands.

Shi Ya walked up to Lu Yan, sneered and patted her on the face, and said, “Aren’t you very good? At home, don’t you always rely on being the daughter of the Lu family and you can’t get along with me.”

Lu Yan gritted her teeth and said, “It’s not that I want to have trouble with you, it’s that your mother is too utterly committed and doesn’t leave room for Lu Zhen, it’s that you can’t see where you are and expect things that don’t belong to you.”

Shi Ya’s eyes trembled: “My mother said, as long as it can be grabbed with both hands, that is what belongs to me!”

“grab?”

A satirical smile hung on Lu Yan’s mouth: “Don’t you still want to be a lady? Take the stolen things as your own. This is not a lady, but a bandit.”

“you…”

Shi Ya couldn’t speak to Lu Yan, her face pale with anger, and she was about to slap her when she raised her hand.

Lu Yan closed his eyes.

However, the slap did not fall. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and saw Jian Yao clutching Shi Ya’s wrist tightly and throwing her to the edge of the grass.

Shi Ya was staggered by her hand strength and almost fell. She was angry and looked at Jian Yao: “What are you doing to be nosy?”

Jian Yao said with a sullen face: “I hate girls slapping girls the most in my life. It’s quite vicious.”

Shi Ya was indignant.

Jian Yao walked to Lu Yan, glanced at them with cold eyes, and said, “Let her go.”

Several little sisters all knew Jian Yao, and her “Jian Ye” reputation was quite important among girls. They didn’t dare to mess with her, so they let Lu Yan go.

Lu Yan immediately hid behind her mother.

Jian Yao casually grabbed a girl’s collar and threw her at Shi Ya heavily, and said coldly: “Lu Yan is my friend, you move one finger of her, I will break your ten fingers, don’t believe me. You can try.”

Little sisters of course know that Jian Yao is definitely not a nasty guy. She did what she said. When she entered school in the first year of high school, she kicked a male student who spoke hooligans to her into the quiet lake of the school. The male student knew no water and almost died.

Later, the parents of the male classmate came to school and asked Jian Yao to apologize, otherwise they would use the family relationship to let her drop out.

Jian Yao not only didn’t apologize, but also stabbed the matter to the media. The incident caused a lot of trouble, and even posted in the newspaper, bringing down the so-called “relationship” of the male classmate’s home.

Since then, no one in the school dared to confront Jian Yao.

She confessed to death, and said that she was not the one who was not annoying.

Shi Ya didn’t want to just give up like this, but the elder sisters around were stunned, and she couldn’t handle the situation alone, so she could only leave a few ruthless words and leave angrily.

Lu Yan finally relaxed, clutching her chest, and exhaled: “It’s dangerous, I almost broke her hand…”

If her mother didn’t arrive in time, she would definitely let Shi Ya take a good “school violence” today.

Shi Ya hates her to her bones, and today is definitely a double “luxury package” of physical and mental devastation to entertain her.

Jian Yao asked Lu Yan: “Why would you provoke such a girl?”

Lu Yan rubbed the corners of her eyes helplessly: “Don’t mention it, it’s all a bunch of mess at home.”

Jian Yao saw that she didn’t say anything, and didn’t ask any more questions.

“Mom…no, Jian Yao, thank you, hey, let me ask you something to drink.”

Jian Yao smiled and said, “What a big deal, I just happened to pass by by chance. It’s a big effort, but we haven’t seen it for a long time. Sit down and have a chat. I’ll ask you to drink juice.”

Lu Yan did not refuse, and walked out of the school gate with Jian Yao to the juice shop on the street.

Last time in the noisy environment of the bar, the two did not have a good chat. This time they sat down and both planned to get to know each other well.

Lu Yan, of course, came here to learn more about what kind of person her mother is.

However, Jian Yao really didn’t know why, and she liked Lu Yan as soon as she saw it.

From her story, Lu Yan learned that Jian Yao is in the same grade as Lu Yan in her second year of high school. Since the third year of junior high, she and Qiao Nan have formed a band to pursue their dreams while also being able to earn some extra money.

“Do you want to be a star?” Lu Yan asked her.

Jian Yao chewed on the juice straw and said with a smile: “Which kid playing music doesn’t want to stand on that star-lit stage, so that people all over the country and the world… all scream for him, and everyone sings about him. Song, turn the concert into a chorus of the audience.”

Her words instantly ignited Lu Yan’s original silent heart, her eyes flashed, and she took Jian Yao’s hand, ready to move.

“I… I also want to sing, I also want more people to hear my voice, I also want to have a concert!”

“That’s great!” Jian Yao said excitedly: “Join us and have fun together!”

In this matter, the two almost hit it off.

Her dream was pinched in the cradle by Lu Zhen in the previous life, but now, it is so happy for her to meet her mother and play music with her.

“By the way, can you play the piano?” Jian Yao asked her.

“Yes, my last life… No, I started piano in elementary school.”

Jian Yao immediately grabbed her hand: “That’s great! Next month’s school celebration, there will be a chorus competition here at the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. We are short of one who can play the piano. Would you like to join us?”

“sure.”

“That’s a deal.”

Lu Yanli suddenly remembered something and asked Jian Yao: “But I remember the school celebration chorus, it was Shu Mengfei

Playing the piano? “

Jian Yao waved her hand, a look of disgust appeared on her face: “She lied to the teacher of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment that she could play the piano, but in fact she didn’t know how to play the piano. From now on, let the teacher play the soundtrack. I am also speechless. What do I need her to do to play the soundtrack.”

Lu Yan’s mouth twitched, “I don’t know how to play but I want to insist on going on stage. I really have the courage.”

Jian Yao shrugged: “I don’t understand what she’s thinking, maybe I just think it’s cool to play the piano.”

Lu Yan found out that her mother was really a straight daughter of steel.

Shu Mengfei insisted on playing the piano on stage, of course not because of being cool. Mostly, she still wants to be in front of others and fulfill her “talented woman” title of virtue and art.

“Okay, Mom, tell the teacher from the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment, I can go.”

The corner of Jian Yao’s eyes filled with a smile: “Then it’s a deal!”

“Um.”

Jian Yao squeezed the straw, pounded the juice, and suddenly asked, “Hey, did you call me mom just now?”

“Puff!” Lu Yan squirted out the juice, spraying Jian Yao’s face.

Jian Yao:…

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Lu Yan quickly wiped her face with a tissue: “I…I was wrong, Miss Sister.”

Jian Yao didn’t mind this, and said with a smile: “Haha, since they are all called mothers, I can’t blame you, right.”

Lu Yan blinked and looked at her innocently.

Jian Yao touched her forehead, deliberately jokingly shouting: “Good girl?”

“Hey…?”
