Chapter 52

Lu Feiheng's hometown is about three hours' drive away from Qingwan. I set off early in the morning and arrived around noon.

Lu Yue prepared meals in advance and waited for me. When she opened the door for me, like Shen Luoyu, it took her a long time to accept the greeting in my hand.

Mother Lu came out of the back room when she heard the movement, squinted her eyes and looked at me as she approached. When she saw my appearance clearly, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Hokuta, are you able to walk now? When did it happen? Why haven't you mentioned it?"

"Yeah, I was taken aback when I first opened the door."

The mother and daughter surrounded me, and you started talking with each other.

I explained to them how the exoskeleton works and how to use it, and said that I have only worn it for a short time.

Lu's mother didn't know whether she was thinking of Lu Feiheng or Lu's father, and there was infinite melancholy in her eyes.

"I don't know when human beings will be able to solve all medical problems. I can't see this day. I hope you can see it."

Lu Yue smiled and said, "How advanced is the medical science? You and I are only 20 years apart. If you can't see it, I certainly can't see it either."

Mother Lu led me into the bedroom. The room was quite dark, with only a small yellow light turned on.

Lu's father was wearing a ventilator, so emaciated with only a handful of bones left, with his eyes closed, he half-lyed on the bed and struggled to breathe, looking completely exhausted.

"He wakes up less and less these days." Mother Lu whispered, and gently pushed her husband by the bed.

Papa Lu woke up slowly, and when he saw me, he was stunned for a long time before he recognized me.

"Hokuto?" He held out his hand tremblingly.

I leaned on crutches to his side and grabbed his hand.

"uncle……"

He seemed not sober anymore, although he recognized me, but his sense of time was confused, he asked me if I had graduated, and then asked me when Lu Feiheng would come back, he missed him.

I went to see Lu's mother, she shook her head, beckoning me not to wake him up.

I could only hold the other person's hand more tightly, coaxing: "Soon, he will be back soon."

Mother Lu left the bedroom with red eyes, leaving the two of us talking alone.

I sat on the stool next to the bed and put the crutches aside.

"Your leg is healed." After a while, Papa Lu seemed to regain his senses.

"Well, I can walk now." When I saw him last time, his hair was still dark, his eyes were bright, and he was strong and healthy.Unlike today, the hair is gray, the look in the eyes has disappeared, and the person is thin and out of shape.

Obviously should live longer...

Rationally, I know that I should respect the patient's choice and learn to let go, but emotionally, it is really difficult to say goodbye gracefully.Deep down, I even resented him for giving up the possibility of living so easily.

"That's great. Feiheng will be very happy when he finds out." He seemed to see through my thoughts, and comforted him, "Don't be sad, I'm just one step ahead of you, I... I will go to Feiheng, with him You don't have to worry...he will take care of me."

After speaking a long sentence in one breath, he panted harder and his voice became softer, as if he had no extra strength to speak.

Hearing him mention Lu Feiheng, my eyes unconsciously filled with heat, I nodded and said: "Yes, Feiheng is very good at taking care of people, he will definitely take good care of you."

"Did Lu Yue ask you to borrow money?" He asked suddenly.

I opened my mouth, I didn't know how to answer.Lu Yue didn't tell her parents about borrowing money from me, and she didn't tell her parents that the money was borrowed from me when she paid back the money, because she was afraid that the two old people would have a psychological burden.But obviously, Jiang is still old and hot, so Dad Lu guessed it.

"I just borrowed a little." I said.

"She, how can I trouble you..."

"I'm not afraid of trouble."

He laughed: "You are not afraid of trouble..." His eyes were half closed as he spoke, as if he would fall asleep again anytime, anywhere, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope."

"Don't worry, you are still young... Take your time... You are so good, many people must like you."

"Okay, I'm in no hurry."

"I don't know when Fei Heng will bring his girlfriend back. This kid is also attractive..."

The smile froze on his lips, and after a while, he became confused again.

"...It should be soon."? I followed his words.

Father Lu was in low spirits, and he was not very sober, so he said a few more words. I saw that he was tired, so I took the initiative to end the topic, let him have a good rest, and then got up and left the house.

Mother Lu saw me coming out and greeted me to eat at the table.

"Let's go after dinner." As she spoke, she picked up some food with chopsticks and put it in my bowl, "It's hard to come here."

I shook my head and declined her kindness: "No, I have some things to do this afternoon."

Yang Haiyang still asked me to be the best man for this wedding. The wedding will be held next week, and I have to try clothes in the afternoon.Besides, Lu's father's health condition is so poor, so it's inconvenient for me to keep disturbing her. Lu's mother and the others are very tired from taking care of the patients. I don't want them to spend any more time trying to entertain me.

"Then after dinner, you and I can go in and see your uncle again. This farewell, there should be no next time." Mother Lu sighed.

The atmosphere at the table was a bit dull because of Lu's father's condition, and it was just a simple conversation, not too deep.Lu Yue cooks all their local specialties, which taste very good. When we parted, Lu’s mother gave me a big bag of local specialties and asked me to cook soup at home.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when I drove back to Qingwan. I hurriedly cooked a bowl of instant dumplings for myself. After eating, I went to the dress shop I had agreed with Yang Haiyang.Before going out, he suddenly received a call from Shang Muxiao.

"Are you going to try on clothes today?"

I glanced at the kitchen window, the lights on the opposite side were dim as always, and I couldn't tell if the owner of the house was at home.

"how do you know?"

"We are a store. The store called me two days ago, saying that the clothes were ready, and asked me when I would go to try on the clothes. I inquired about the time for the groom and best man to try on the clothes. Take me, teacher, I It’s inconvenient to not have a car now.”

"Yang Haiyang is here too." I reminded him.

He didn't take it seriously: "I know." There was a sound of closing the door at the other end, and he seemed to have gone out, "Don't worry, I won't fight with him."

"But……"

I was still looking for a reason to refuse, but Shang Muxiao quickly interrupted me: "I'll wait for you below, hurry up." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

It's just a ride along the way, we live so close, it's nothing.I stared at my phone, brainwashing myself.

When we got down to the garage, Shang Muxiao was already waiting beside the car, wearing a light gray thin coat, which was exactly the one I gave him before.

He and I are still about the same size, so he wouldn't be able to wear my clothes, but the coat is loose and knee-length, so it can barely fit him.

But "wearable" and "fit" are two concepts, although it is not ugly to wear ... it is not good-looking either.

My eyes were too bright, he saw me looking at him all the time, he opened his arms and showed me: "I'm in a hurry to move out, I didn't bring a few coats, lend me to wear them first, and I'll return them to you after washing them."

I walked around him, opened the door and got in the car: "Whatever you want."

It's just a piece of clothing, and it's not 20, so I won't be urging him all the time.

After driving for 10 minutes, I arrived at a retro and exquisite custom-made suit shop in the city center.It is said that this store was designated by Shang Yunrou, and it has been open for decades. The owner is a friend of Shang Lu, who has made clothes for many businessmen and celebrities. His craftsmanship is amazing, and it is said that he has even appeared on TV.

When I came here for the first time, because I was in a wheelchair, the tailor took a long time to measure the size for accuracy.

Pushing open the door and entering, the old copper bell above the head rang softly, and everyone in the store looked over.

"Beijiao!" Yang Haiyang is trying on clothes. He is wearing a tall and straight white shirt with a splayed collar and navy blue trousers. It is different from his usual image of a rough guy, and he looks particularly handsome.

He had heard about my exoskeleton on the phone earlier, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Fuck you really stood up!" He grinned and smiled a little silly, walking towards me quickly as he said, opening his arms as if to give me a big hug.

But at this moment, another person came between me and him, who went up to him and hugged Yang Haiyang enthusiastically, and patted him on the back vigorously.

"Brother-in-law, long time no see."

Yang Haiyang struggled to get free as if bitten by a snake. Seeing that it was really Shang Muxiao, his face suddenly became very exciting.

"You...why are you here?"

"I'm here to get the clothes too." Shang Muxiao turned to look at me, "I live in the same community as Professor Bei now, and I knew he was coming to try on clothes, so we went together."

Yang Haiyang looked at him and then at me, his eyes full of sympathy, as if I was not living in the same community as Shang Muxiao, but in the same cage as a vicious dog.

There is only one dressing room. I asked Shang Muxiao to invite him first, but he was not polite, and went in with the clothes.

"Wow, what a villain, I just got goosebumps from being hugged by him." Yang Haiyang lowered his voice, rubbed his arms and said, "I heard Yun Rou say that he had a quarrel with his family and moved out to live by himself, but why? I didn't expect to move to your community, which is too coincidental."

His doubts are also my doubts. There are tens of thousands of neighborhoods, but I still don't understand why Shang Muxiao only chose the one with me.Could it be that the house was rented early in the morning, and I wanted to act more realistically, and seemed inseparable from me, but I didn't expect that I would break up with him suddenly, and he couldn't check out the house, he was embarrassed and had an argument with his family , I had no choice but to bite the bullet and move in?

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem impossible.

"Maybe it's because it's close to our school."

"Is it close?" Yang Haiyang thought for a while, "It's not too close."

I analyzed it with him. With the same rent, we can only rent a small one-bedroom house near the school, but we can rent a two-bedroom house in our community.Although not so close, there are direct buses and living facilities are complete.

Yang Haiyang nodded blankly, as if he was completely convinced by me.

He finished trying on the clothes and they fit perfectly, there was nothing to change, he just waited for Shang Muxiao to come out and change the clothes.

Not long after, the changing curtain swung open, and Shang Muxiao came out with the button of his shirt on his wrist.Long legs, thin waist, broad shoulders, just standing there, compared everyone.

His gaze wandered around my face, hooking my eyes like a hook, making it impossible for me to look away.

Walking up to the full-length mirror, he looked like he was concentrating on putting on his tie, but he was actually looking at me through the mirror.

I look away and focus on a roll of fabric on the wall.

"By the way, Beijiao, I will see your male god soon, are you excited, are you happy?" Yang Haiyang took off his coat and handed it to the clerk beside him, then untied his tie and went to the dressing room.

The curtain was drawn, but his voice continued.

"I remember that you liked Yun Rou's father when you were in college, and you even recommended his movies to me. Don't forget to ask him for an autograph on your wedding day, maybe you can become friends with him."

People really can't lie, if they lie, they will definitely be exposed...

I shivered for no reason, subconsciously went to see Shang Muxiao.

In front of the full-length mirror, his tie was halfway up, and he was motionless at the moment, the smile on his lips was no longer there, and he looked at me with deep and cold eyes.
