It turns out that the person I love has always been there

Chapter 46

Three years later, both Li's father and Li's mother returned to China, and were employed by the College of Life Sciences and the National Institute of Life Sciences at University B. The two of them rested at home for a while and stayed with the old lady at home for a while, and then both flew to City B again. When Lu Li and Li Huaiyu were on vacation, they accompanied the two elders to City B.

After graduating from high school, Qiao An chose to go to a key local university. It was about half an hour's drive away from home. Occasionally, she had no classes in the afternoon and returned to school after dinner in the evening.

Life passes by like a trickle of water, and now the two of them live in a bungalow, an old house, and Jiahua lives in turns, and the elders on both sides have to be accompanied by a bowl of water.

Shi Wan gave birth to a boy three years ago, whose baby name was Mai Mai. Now he is a handsome boy. The two families occasionally hold family dinners on weekends. Mai Mai likes the two uncles very much. Li Huaiyu and Lu Li liked to sit between the two of them when eating. Seeing the children getting close to them, Li Huaiyu and Lu Li happily took care of them.

Little Lizi from Yuan Song's family is 4 years old. She was raised by Min Qing to be a quiet and beautiful girl. She speaks like a baby, and often visits Lu Li's house with her father. Since she can speak, Lu Li and Yuan Song have taught her a few times. , Xiao Lizi would call him uncle when he saw him.

That day when Min Qing had something to go back to his hometown in H City, Yuan Song greeted Lu Li in advance and took Lizi to play. Lizi was already very familiar with this place. Schoolbag, when seeing Lu Li, he reached out to hug him, hugging his limp neck and calling him "Uncle".

Lu Li took off the woolen hat for her, patted her little head, "Good boy".

"Ms. Zhao is not at home?" Yuan Song came in after changing his shoes.

"I made an appointment with other teachers to go on a trip, and I'll be back in two days."

"Where did you go?"

"Go to province F this year."

"That's not bad, the southeast coastal area, at this time, the temperature over there is considered warm."

Little Lizi sat on the sofa, opened her schoolbag, took out a water glass, and drank. Lu Li touched her small water bottle, and it was already a little cold.

"Little chestnut, give the kettle to Uncle, and refill a cup for you, okay?"

Little Lizi obediently pulled out the straw from her mouth and handed it to Lu Li.

Lu Li went to the kitchen, unscrewed the kettle, and added some hot water, "By the way, the refrigerator at home is empty, wait until I go out to buy some food, you guys sit at home."

Yuan Song looked at the refrigerator and asked, "You haven't turned on the fire these days? There's nothing in the refrigerator."

When Lu Li came out, he stood behind him and took a look: "Qiao An isn't here, my mother cleaned out the refrigerator before going out, and I've been living with Jiahua for the past few days, so I haven't had time to put anything in the refrigerator."

"Then I'll go. I'll see what to cook for Xiao Lizi. You play with Xiao Lizi. I knew I was going to come to you last night. I was so happy that I didn't sleep until midnight."

"Okay, don't buy too much."

Lu Li handed the water bottle to Little Lizi, and Yuan Song and Little Lizi waved their hands and walked out the door.

Lu Li sat on the sofa and watched her drink the water, teased her for a while, took a plush toy from her schoolbag for her to hug, reached out and took an apple from the tea table, peeled it, it was long, Lu Li raised his head, and Xiao Lizi looked up at the apple peel in his hand.

"Little chestnut, sit and play by yourself for a while, uncle will go and cut apples for you to eat, okay?"

Little Lizi nodded obediently: "Okay."

Lu Li brought the fruit knife and the peeled apple to the kitchen. Little Lizi sat quietly on the sofa and played with the stuffed animal's ears and feet. The phone on the table rang. Little Lizi looked up and called out. Sound "Uncle".

The sofa was a little far away from the kitchen, and Lu Li's phone was always on vibrate mode. Little Lizi's soft voice didn't disturb Lu Li who was cutting apples at all.

Seeing that Lu Li didn't respond and the phone was still beeping, Little Chestnut put the doll aside in her arms, turned around, grabbed the sofa cushion with both hands, and landed on the ground with her toes up and down. Her father taught her how to To answer the phone call, Xiao Lizi clicked the answer button, and picked it up with her little hand like her father put it by her ear. As a result, the phone was a bit heavy for her, and it fell back on the table heavily. She was startled, "Yeah! ", and then picked up the phone and whispered "Hello".

Li Huaiyu waited for a long time for the call to be connected. When he answered, there was a piercing sound in his ears, and after a while, there was a milky exclamation.

Li Huaiyu was about to ask, but when he heard the voice of the person opposite, he felt relieved. He had met Xiao Lizi several times at Lu Li's house, so he pretended to be serious and asked, "Hello, are you?" Who."

"Hello, I'm Xiao Lizi." Xiao Lizi was taught by her parents, so she answered the phone politely.

"Ah, isn't this my uncle's cell phone? Why is it that Xiao Lizi picked it up? Dad isn't around."

Little Lizi looked up at the kitchen, "Uncle, I'm cutting apples for Little Lizi, and Dad is out shopping."

"Then little chestnut, can I ask my uncle to answer the phone?"

"Okay." Little Lizi ran towards the kitchen with his phone in his hands, just as Lu Li came out with cut fruits, Little Lizi threw himself between his legs and handed him the phone, "Uncle, call."

Lu Li took the phone with one hand free, Xiao Lizi climbed onto the sofa and took the rabbit-shaped apple that Lu Lidi gave her, "Get off work?"

"Just after the meeting, there are still some things to deal with, so I will go back later."

"Okay, then I'll leave dinner for you tonight."

"Well, are Tang Yuansong and Xiao Lizi staying for dinner tonight?"

"Min Qing went back to his hometown, and there was no one there when the two went back tonight, so we stayed and had dinner together."

"Well, I'll go back as soon as I finish."

"Okay." Lu Li took out a piece of paper and placed it under Xiao Lizi's chin, turned on the speaker, and placed it in front of Xiao Lizi, "Does Xiao Lizi remember the handsome uncle I met before? Say goodbye to uncle."

Little Lizi stopped and said seriously to the phone: "Goodbye, uncle." Before Lu Li took back the phone and hung up, he added: "Come back early for dinner."

Li Huaiyu replied with a smile, "Okay."

Lu Li hung up the phone after talking to him, and patted her head curiously.

When Li Huaiyu came back, Lu Li and Yuan Song were chatting, teasing Xiao Lizi, watching her dance with the characters in the cartoon.

The sound of the TV was turned up a bit, Lu Li turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the person had come back, his coat had been taken off and was draped over his elbows, and he was wearing a dark shirt and suit inside.

Lu Li stood up and took his coat, Li Huaiyu went up to greet Yuan Song.

"I'm back." Yuan Song no longer looked at him awkwardly and unfamiliarly, and called out to Xiao Lizi: "Little Lizi, let's see who's back."

Little Lizi turned around and looked up at him. Li Huaiyu squatted down and squeezed her hot and sweaty little hand: "Don't you remember Uncle?"

"Uncle." Xiao Lizi smiled and threw herself into his arms.

"I will also be a member of the Appearance Association in the future." Yuan Song said to Lu Li dumbfounded.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back to bed and see you again." Yuan Song glanced at the time, it was almost time to go back, and Xiao Lizi had to go to bed before 8:[-] p.m.

The two sent them out, Xiao Lizi put on her schoolbag, put on her hat, and waved to the two in her father's arms.

After seeing them off, Lu Li brought the warm food to the table, made a bowl of soup himself and ate with them for a while. In the evening, Lu Li went back to the room and changed into new sheets and quilts. The two of them will stay tonight.

Lu's mother is on winter vacation, knitting sweaters in her spare time, playing with flowers and plants on the balcony, and holding community activities with other aunts in the community.

Qiao An was already about the same height as his brother when he was a freshman, and now in his junior year, he is helping his brother in the third year of research in the laboratory. He plans to apply for the postgraduate entrance examination of the professor who is in charge of the project, and he often goes to the laboratory to help during the winter vacation. It was the whole day, and Lu Li went back here to rest at night during this period. After eating and taking a walk with Lu's mother, Qiao An had just sat down at the table for dinner.

Lu Li sat across the dining table, chatted with him, and asked about his recent situation. Mother Lu reminded him to go to the airport.

Lu Li looked at the time, stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go first, Mom, I won't be coming back tonight."

Joan finished his meal and cleared the table. In the past few years, he has gradually learned about his elder brother's situation. He has nothing to say about the elder's affairs, but this matter is indeed beyond his expectations. After self-adjustment, he also accepts it. Now Occasionally, he can even joke with his brother.

"Brother Li is coming back today?"

When the two of them came back for dinner last time, they made a special statement.

"Well, I'll go first."

"Brother, be careful on the road."

Lu Li went back to his room and took his coat, talked to the two of them, went out, and drove downstairs.

The air conditioner and heater were turned on in the car, and Lu Li couldn't help shivering suddenly from warm to cold. The phone in his pocket rang. Lu Li glanced at it and quickened his pace.

The elevator from the parking lot to the arrival floor was full of people. Lu Li leaned sideways on the handrail of the elevator, taking advantage of his height. Lu Li could see his unconcealable smile through the smooth elevator wall opposite. Putting on the hat, the scarf around the neck covered half of the face, leaving only a pair of clear eyes.

As soon as Li Huaiyu came out, he walked towards him. Although the visitor was completely covered, Lu Li and the others walked up to him, looking at him with the only eyes that were exposed, and couldn't help reaching out to him and hugging him.

"Welcome home."

Li Huaiyu was amazed at his initiative in public, and how other people's reactions didn't matter to him, he put his luggage away with a smile, put his arms around Lu Li's waist, "Well, I miss you." The two touched each other immediately, Li Huaiyu Kissed him through the hat before letting go.

Li Huaiyu was wearing a long open coat with a cashmere sweater, shirt, and trousers inside. Lu Li pulled off his hat, untied the scarf around his neck, wrapped it around him, and pulled the luggage at his feet. The two went back to their home. A long-time home, Xiaobie Sheng newlyweds is also applicable to two people who have been dating for several years, and the bedroom lights are on all night.

Waking up in the morning, Li Huaiyu let go of Lu Li's arm, turned off and turned off the floor lamp by the bed. In the early morning, the two of them were so tired that they fell asleep directly. The floor lamp was turned on all night, and Lu Li fell asleep on his side facing him, his whole face covered in warm yellow. The light was forced to be buried under the quilt, only the messy hair on the top of the head was exposed.

Li Huaiyu kissed the top of his hair, and it is rare for a person who wakes up at the slightest movement to sleep deeply. Li Huaiyu thought that he was probably exhausted, so he got out of bed to wash up and prepare breakfast.

The hands of the clock on the wall had turned to 8 o'clock. Li Huaiyu poured the soy milk into the glass. The people in the room were still still. Usually at this time, the two sat at the dining table after watching the morning news, and they went out at 8:[-]. work.

Li Huaiyu put the cup on the dining table, pushed open the bedroom door, and sat on the edge of the bed. The people around him still maintained the posture when he left. Li Huaiyu rubbed the top of his hair and called him to get up.

Lu Li turned over, face down, pressed his hands on the pillow, and asked in a voice, "What time is it?"

"It's 8:10." Li Huaiyu moved his fingers, taking the opportunity to pinch his soft and hot face.

"It's so late?" Lu Li turned over and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, feeling his head sinking, "I'm going to wash up, change clothes, and come out."

"Okay, there's no rush." ​​Li Huaiyu got up and walked to the closet, and put the clothes he was going to wear today on the bed for him.

After washing up, he became more awake, but his body was a little heavier than usual, and his spirit was tired. He probably caught a little cold last night, and Lu Li didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, it became more and more serious in the afternoon. At first, he kept sneezing. During lunch break, Lu Li went to the pharmacy and bought a medical mask to wear. In the afternoon, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't even speak. A colleague touched his forehead. , Hastily asked him to ask for leave to go to the hospital to hang water.

Lu Li rejected his colleague's offer to take him to the hospital, and went out by himself to take a taxi to the No. [-] Hospital.

Registration, payment, blood test, took the doctor's order, went to the second floor to hang water.

It was still a long time, so Lu Li closed his eyes and took a nap for a while.

The hospital, regardless of day or night, regardless of time and place, was full of boiling water, people coming and going in the water room, footsteps, conversations, and vomiting of stomach discomfort woke Lu Li up.

Lu Li felt that he had just rested for a while. He took out his phone and checked the time. He realized that he had slept for a long time. It was already dark outside. There were messages from his colleagues asking about the situation, and more messages from Li Huaiyu. Still have multiple missed calls.

Lu Li hurriedly called back, and the answer was picked up quickly.

Lu Li said "Hello" and was startled by his own voice. He was so dumb that he only let out a short breath.

"Lu Li?" A suspicious voice came from over there.

Lu Li cleared his voice and let out a short "um".

"I'm on my way to the hospital now, which department and floor are you on?"

"Second floor, water hanging room." The voice sounded like an old radio was failing, Lu Li said to him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Slow down on the road, don't drive too fast."

"Hmm." Li Huaiyu hung up the phone.

When Li Huaiyu came, the nurse just replaced Lu Li with a new bottle.

Lu Li tugged at his sleeve and let him sit on the empty chair next to him, "How do you know I'm in the hospital?"

"I couldn't get in touch with you, so I went to your unit and asked your colleagues, and told me that you are taking leave in the afternoon." After speaking, he patted his head heavily.

"I wanted to send you a message after you got off work, but I accidentally fell asleep." Lu Li opened his mouth and felt that talking was too much effort, so he switched to typing on his mobile phone.

"It's okay, I'll get you a glass of water."

Lu Li nodded.

Li Huaiyu got up and went to the convenience store downstairs to buy a thermos and a bottle of water, and asked the nurse to open the water room.

Li Huaiyu handed him the thermos cup, Lu Li drank it all in one gulp, licked his lips, and handed the cup to him, Li Huaiyu poured him another cup knowingly.

Lu Li listened to Li Huaiyu calling the elders on both sides, and explained that he would not go back to live for a few days, and wait for him to recover.

When he hung up the phone, Lu Li smiled flatteringly at him and sent him a bunch of emojis. The two of them sat on the chair, one said, and the other typed on the phone to respond.

The next day, Lu Li asked for a day off to rest at home, and Li Huaiyu also took a day off to take care of him. Lu Li felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Li Huaiyu looked at him and said, "From now on, the two of us will depend on each other to take care of each other. If you are sick, I will take care of you in front of the bed, and if I am sick, you will be by my side. Neither of us can do without. Who is it?"

Li Huaiyu works in the study, and occasionally gets up to take a look in the bedroom, or fills up the water glass by the bed.

Lu Li was sleepy and was called to take medicine: "Lu Li, it's time to get up and take medicine."

Lu Li fell into a drowsy sleep for a whole day, took the medicine, the fever subsided, he sweated a little, he got better, his throat inflammation has not disappeared, it is still hoarse.

"These words sound familiar. It seems that a girl named Pan Jinlian said the same thing to her sick husband." Lu Li's spirits improved a bit, and he was in a joking mood.

Li Huaiyu smacked his brains out of laughter, "It seems that he is in good spirits and is willing to joke."

Lu Li grinned at him, and said hoarsely, "I don't want to take medicine, I don't want to drink porridge, I want to eat hot pot, barbecue, barbecue, seafood."

Li Huaiyu bent down and hugged him, Lu Li's body was still a little hot, "Are you acting like a baby?"

Li Huaiyu got up halfway and wrapped him under his arms. Lu Li held his elbow and blinked his eyes with a smile to see if he didn't speak, neither admitting nor denying it.

Li Huaiyu kissed his forehead, "Wait, let's eat the same and get well soon."

"Well, it's up to you." Lu Li rubbed his shoulders.

After recovering from illness, Lu Li and Li Huaiyu ran side by side, and the elders in the family cooked nourishing soup for them to drink.The blood of the two men was soaring, and they tossed and turned at night.

Coming out of Lu's mother's house, Lu Li patted his full stomach and let out a long sigh of relief.

"My stomach is full of soup, and my body is warm." Lu Li loosened his scarf, feeling a little stuffy.

"Don't catch a cold anymore." Seeing his movements, Li Huaiyu put on a woolen hat with ear protectors on him. Two furry balls dangled on his chest, swaying with the owner's movements. This hat is two When people were shopping for gifts for Shiwan's son, Li Huaiyu bought them for Lu Li.

Every time he wears this, Lu Li always feels a little embarrassed, he is already in his thirties, "Mr. Li, can I wear it for you next time?"

"It's more suitable for you." The two stood facing each other, and Li Huaiyu smiled dotingly.

"Well, let me see if it fits." Lu Li took off his hat and put it on his head with a playful smile.

Li Huaiyu was wearing a coat, a scarf, and a cute woolen hat. The unusual combination was unexpectedly eye-catching. Lu Li smiled, "It's obviously suitable, very cute."

"But I still think you look better in it." The hat was put back on Lu Li's head. Li Huaiyu hugged him and locked his hands together in his arms. The soft, fluffy down jacket was deformed due to being squeezed. On his shoulders, he turned his head and rubbed his hair against his ears.

In the middle of the silent street, the dim light stretched the intimate figures of the two to an infinite length.
