When he drove back to Lu Fengjun's house, Lumi was already waiting at the door. Zhu Huicang took out two large suitcases and several gift boxes from the car. Lumi helped carry it in.
"Aiyo, Hui Cang, why are you so polite? Why did you bring so many things? " You're making..." Lu Fengjun saw the two big boxes. His daughter was still carrying them in her hands and felt embarrassed.
"It's my first time meeting grandma and grandpa.”
He opened one of them. There were cashmere sweaters and tonics for the two old people, Moutai for Lu Fengjun, high-end skincare products and silk scarves for Liu Jie, and even Xiaolong's. There was a pair of Nikes sneakers and a learning machine that had not yet been released in the North.
"Our family is wearing the sneakers from the shop now. Lumi said that this is a walking advertisement. Why are you buying shoes from other people?”Lu Fengjun looked at the nike.
"It's more expensive for boys this age to wear shoes when they play.”
Liu Jie had already made tea, and Lumi was distributing it to everyone.
Zhu Huicang touched the tip of his nose and said,"That box was bought by my mother for Lumi…"?
Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie widened their eyes in shock. This…
"Well, the last time Lumiere spoke to my mother, she really liked Lumiere. She said she didn't have a daughter, so she liked to buy things for girls... well.. she bought too much... and she was embarrassed... yes, that's it.”
Lumi finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
When she looked up and realized that everyone was looking at her, she pursed her lips.
"Laugh if you want to. Go be Auntie Zhu's daughter. She prepared so many gifts for you even before we met.”Liu Jie joked.
"Help me thank Aunt Zhu."
How could Lumi not laugh? Zhu Huicang bought it himself, but he had to put it on his mother, who didn't know anything about it. If his mother insisted on calling him to thank him, Aunt Zhu would be in trouble. The more he thought about it, the funnier it got.
"You're welcome. I'll pass the message on for you.”Zhu Huicang was helpless. He had to be laughed at by his girlfriend every day.
"Lumi, think about what good things you can give Auntie Zhu. When the time comes, let Hui Cang bring it back to express his gratitude.”Liu Jie instructed.
"No need, no need. It's nothing.”
"Aiya, you guys are really thanking me so much. These are all sincere feelings. Don't send them back and forth. When I see Auntie Zhu, I'll be her daughter.”Lumi was deliberately angering his mother.
"Yes, Lumi's right," Zhu Huicang agreed. I want to be a daughter-in-law. I don't want a sister.
"Auntie, it's too late. You've been tired all day. Rest early. I'll go back first. I'll go to the stall directly tomorrow.”Zhu Huicang said goodbye.
"Huicang, if you don't mind, stay at home.”Lu Fengjun suggested.
" This…" Zhu Huicang looked at Lumi.
"You can stay here. You can stay in my room. I'll go to my grandmother's room.”said Lumi.
"Can I? Will it trouble everyone?"
"What's the trouble? We're already home, but we're still staying in a hotel. Uncle Lu is very sorry.”This was Lu Fengjun's heartfelt words.
"Then I'll check out tomorrow."
"Hey, that's right! Living at home, eating at home, being frugal and healthy, well…what kind of designs Lumi drew, you can still discuss.”
"Sorry for disturbing Uncle and Auntie, I won't stand on ceremony.”
To be able to live in Lumi's house and even in Lumi's small room, just thinking about it made him feel so happy.
"Make yourself at home here, I'll change your sheets tomorrow and come back with Lumi after work.”
"Okay, Auntie."
Seeing Zhu Huicang get up to leave, Lu Fengjun said,""Lumi, get dressed and send Hui Cang off.”
Lumi put on his coat and sent Zhu Huicang to the door." If you want to laugh, laugh. Don't hold it in." Live in my room, sleep in my bed, cover me with my blanket, and lie on my pillow. Humph! A sparrow occupying a magpie's nest."
Zhu Huicang's smile grew wider and wider, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Yeah, I want to occupy your bed!”
"Childish, drive home slowly. Send me a message when you arrive."
"Okay, goodnight baby. I love you.”
Lumi nodded." Love you. Be careful."”
Rumi entered the room and saw her father and mother looking straight at her.
"What are you two doing? It's so scary.”Lumi patted his heart.
"Open it." Liu Jie glanced at the box.
"Aiya, open it if you want to see it.”Lumi really didn't care.
Seeing that Lumi was sincere, they laid the suitcase flat and opened it. They were both stunned.
Old Zhu's wife really liked girls. She had everything she wanted! "There's even jewelry! Take a look." Liu Jie said.
"They're all for the children. What's there to see? Alright, it's fine." Lu Fengjun was really generous now.
"Open it and take a look so that I can return the favor in the future.”
"Then you can see for yourself. I'm tired. I'll wash up and go to bed early.”Lu Fengjun stood up and left.
Lumi came back from washing up and saw her mother looking at the jewelry in the jewelry box.
"Lumi, I'll put these jewelry away for you. You're too young now, it's not suitable for you to wear these. Don't lose them, they're all real gold.”
"That won't do. What if Zhu Huicang's family sees it? I won't throw it away, I'll keep it myself.”Zhu Huicang bought all these for himself, not for anyone else.
"Go to the gold shop and buy whatever you like.”Lumi zipped up his suitcase and dragged it into his room.
Then, he took out everything and placed them one by one. This was Zhu Huicang's love for him, and he couldn't give it to anyone else.
A message came in. It was Zhu Huicang.
"Baby, we're in the room."
"Lock the door and don't open it no matter who knocks. Unplug the landline phone. I'll look for you to eat pork trotters tomorrow morning.”
What a cute girlfriend. Wouldn't she get sick of eating pork trotters early in the morning? Zhu Huicang knew why he had to unplug the phone line. He had encountered it in Beijing before. There were always bad women calling him to ask if he needed special services.
"What time will you be here?"
"I get up at 5:30 every day to exercise. Can you get up?”
"I also wake up at 5:30 am. Let's go exercise together.”
Lumi was doubtful. Southerners generally slept late and woke up late. However, Zhu Huicang was definitely a man of his word." You can be a little later. I need time to run over.”
"Got it. See you tomorrow morning. Good night!”
"Yes, yes. Good night."
Lumi slept soundly without a dream. He got up and changed his clothes, ready to go find Zhu Huicang.
She heard her father call her from her parents 'room. You go find Hui Cang for breakfast. I have to prepare the goods from the two stalls. Otherwise, the goods will delay things during the day.”
"Got it, Dad. You can sleep for a while more. I'll go exercise first.”
"This child is so energetic every day.”Liu Jie said.
"It's good to exercise!" He lamented that his old arms and legs could not run.
Lumi jogged to Zhu Huicang's hotel. It was already 5:50 pm.
Seeing Zhu Huicang carrying his luggage downstairs, Lumi smiled, even the luggage was gone.
"Are you checking out directly?" The hotel receptionist asked.
"Yes, the dry cleaning fee for a pair of pants will be deducted from the deposit.”
"Alright." After checking the room and refunding the deposit, the two of them got into the car.
"Later, we'll park the car at the entrance of the corner. We'll go along the square to the old railway station and then turn back for breakfast.”
"Just follow your preferences.”
"Zhu Huicang…"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing, hehe." Lumi said.
"What is it?" Zhu Huicang looked at Lumi.
"It's really nothing. I just called your name.”Lumi didn't want to say anymore.
On the way to find Zhu Huicang in the morning, she had been thinking that Zhu Huicang doted on Lumi too much in reality. She was more mature and outstanding than other girls of the same age, but how could a person be so good to another person who was not related by blood? In fact, Lumi was suspicious.
She did not believe in love without reason. This love made Lumi feel afraid, like a love without roots. It was as if he could disappear at any time.
He was too young and still had a long way to go. It would be many years before he could really get together with Zhu Huicang.
Zhu Huicang said that he did not regret falling in love with her. But what about him? Did he have any regrets? Falling in love with someone meant that he would have something to worry about. That was a responsibility.
In this life, Lumi only wanted to make up for it with his family. He didn't want to have any regrets.
When He Zhiyi confessed to her, Lumi's heart was as still as water.
Knowing Zhu Huicang, was this the so-called fate?
Did he love Zhu Huicang? The answer was yes, without any hesitation.
But could he bear this responsibility at his tender age? And that damned concern.
Zhu Huicang looked at Lumi, who was deep in thought, and felt a little flustered. At this moment, she did not seem to belong to this world at all. Ethereal, yes, that was the word. Zhu Huicang had only felt this way when he first met Lumi. He hadn't felt this way for a long time since he confessed his love to Lumi. He hadn't felt this way for the whole month since they had been apart.
Thinking of this, he stopped the car by the side.
Lumi was about to ask when Zhu Huicang suddenly hugged her tightly.
It was so tight that Lumi felt suffocated and alive. That sense of security returned.
Lumi stroked Zhu Huicang's hair and comforted him.
"I really want to put you in my pocket and take you away.”
Zhu Huicang had said this before at the train station in Beijing.
He said it again today.
"Zhu Huicang, I'm sorry. Did I make you feel insecure?”
Everyone thought that a sense of security should be brought to a woman by a man. In fact, that was not the case. The sense of security was mutual.
No matter when, as long as she was with Zhu Huicang, Lumi would always have a sense of security. Even when they weren't together, she didn't feel lonely.
However, in that instant just now, both of them felt it.
Was it because of his rebirth?
After such a long time, Lumi finally understood why she had returned to this world. She had forgotten something very important.
She was dead. Yes, she had passed away because she was infected with the new crown virus. It had to be said that the epidemic that occurred in the winter of 2020 was too serious. Three years of anti-epidemic efforts failed to stop it. In 2023, the whole country was allowed to fight the epidemic on their own and bear the consequences on their own. All of a sudden, it became chaotic.
Almost overnight, more than half of the people in the country were infected. Lumi's entire family was infected. First, Zhang Ke brought the virus back and infected Lumi. Finally, Ran Ran was infected as well. It had to be said that children's immune system was higher than that of adults. Ran Ran recovered quickly, so did Zhang Ke. In fact, Lumi was also recovering, but he did not know why he died suddenly.
Perhaps Lumi himself had lived for more than forty years with too many regrets, so he let himself live another life to make up for it.
But in this life, Lumi still didn't know how to deal with it. The 2002 SARS-infected virus quickly subsided and didn't even spread to the north. And the new crown 18 years later caused the world to panic. Every day, there were a large number of deaths in the hospital, from the young to the old, to the point where they had to queue up for a few months to be cremated.
He had to experience everything again in this life.
What should he do?
How could he dodge it? He couldn't just shut himself in the house, be self-sufficient, and fend for himself, right?
If that was the case, what was the point of everything he had done in this life?
No matter how Lumi thought about it, he couldn't find an answer.
