When I got home, Aunt Wu had already prepared the meal, and Shu Yuan was waiting at the door early. Seeing Pei Shuo's car driving into the yard, he quickly went out to greet him.
Lu Zhinian saw Shu Yuan through the car window. Just as he was about to open the door, Shu Yuan went around to the other side.
Shu Yuan went around to the other side and opened the car door: "Sui Bao."
When Jiang Suichu saw Shu Yuan, he immediately rushed over and hugged her neck without even getting out of the car: "Aunt Yuan, I miss you so much."
Shu Yuan patted her back: "Aunt Yuan misses you too. Get out of the car and go home. It's cold outside."
"Yes." Jiang Suichu got out of the car, took Shu Yuan's arm and walked into the house while talking and laughing.
Jiang Suichu: "Aunt Yuan, I brought you that Beicheng pastry you like to eat. I'll bring it to you later."
Shu Yuan: "Okay. I am still a good boy, I know how to care for others."
Lu Zhinian and Pei Shuo stood beside the car and watched the two people walking past them laughing.
Pei Shuo turned to look at Lu Zhinian and spread his hands: "Both of us are 187, are we so insignificant?"
Shu Yuan didn't even give him a look.
Lu Zhinian smiled helplessly and threw a box to him: "Are you not used to it yet?"
Ever since they were little, Jiang Suichu had always had a sense of presence between the two of them.
Pei Shuo picked up the box and followed his pace: "The idea of valuing girls over boys is very undesirable. I have to talk about Aunt Yuan later."
Lu Zhinian nodded noncommittally: "Uncle Pei will be coming home for dinner soon, so why don't you talk about it in front of the three of them?"
Pei Shuo paused and smiled: "Forget it, forget it. Anyway, you will leave in a month, and I will be the only one in the house."
Lu Zhinian glanced sideways at him and said with disdain: "You are a little darling in your own right? Thank you for speaking out."
Pei Shuo straightened her chest: "Aunt Yuan said, no matter how old we are, we are all children."
Lu Zhinian twitched his lips after hearing this, but did not answer his shameless words.
After dinner in the evening, Pei Shuo's school was not on vacation yet, so he went back to school after dinner.
Jiang Suichu hugged Mimi and sat on the sofa chatting with Shu Yuan. Beibei lay beside her legs and dozed off with her eyes squinted.
Shu Yuan straightened the broken hair on her forehead and said softly: "Will you still have nightmares at school during this period?"
Jiang Suichu has been having nightmares since he woke up. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the scene of Lu Zhinian being stabbed and Zhang Yi's face full of blood falling in front of him. I got better after treatment, but I still have nightmares occasionally.
Every time she woke up from a nightmare late at night, she was covered in sweat, as if she had been fished out of water.
In the first half year, Shu Yuan stayed by her side almost every step of the way.
Jiang Suchu shook his head with a smile, put his arms around Shu Yuan's neck and lay in her arms: "I haven't had a nightmare for a long time."
Except for the period when school first started, I may be a little uncomfortable in a new environment. Several times late at night, she woke up from her sleep covered in sweat.
But after getting to know my roommates later, things got much better. She didn't have a nightmare in the next few months.
Shu Yuan touched her head and said distressedly: "That's good. I'm always worried about you having nightmares at home and not being able to sleep well in the dormitory."
Jiang Suichu's eyes were a little sore when he heard Shu Yuan's words.
Obviously she is a child who doesn't even want her mother, but Aunt Yuan has always been so kind to her.
She tightened her arms and rubbed her cheek in Shu Yuan's arms: "Aunt Yuan, thank you."
Shu Yuan smiled and patted her back gently: "Silly boy, tell Aunt Yuan how to thank you."
Shu Yuan: "Tomorrow is the last follow-up visit. Your Uncle Lu and I have to fly to Guangzhou and can't accompany you. Let A Nian be with you then."
"Yes." Jiang Suchu nodded, raised his head and asked Shu Yuan, "How many days will you be leaving, Aunt Yuan?"
Shu Yuan frowned, her expression seemed a little confused: "It's hard to say. It could be as little as one or two days, or as long as four or five days."
"Oh." Jiang Suichu didn't know anything about the Lu family's business. Lu Shenghua and Shu Yuan never discussed the company's affairs at home.
Lu Zhinian finished taking a shower upstairs, changed into comfortable casual clothes and came over.
Shu Yuan saw him and said, "A-Nian, you accompany Suibao to Dr. Chen's follow-up consultation at 10:30 tomorrow morning."
Lu Zhinian sat on the sofa opposite the two of them and nodded: "Okay."
"Beibei, come here." He bent down and picked up a ball from the ground, tossing it and calling to Beibei.
"Woof woof~" Beibei was staring blankly in sleepiness. When he saw the ball in Lu Zhinian's hand, he suddenly got up from the ground and pounced on it.
Lu Zhinian leaned back with a smile, holding the ball in his hand but not giving it to him.
Shu Yuan and Jiang Suichu smiled as they watched him playing with the dog.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Mimi, who was nestled in Jiang Suichu's arms, and said, "Mom, I want to take Mimi to Beicheng when school starts."
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Shu Yuan looked at him, a little confused: "Why did you take the cat to Beicheng?"
Lu Zhinian teased Beibei and said, "I'm going to develop a pet game, and I need a physical object to provide some data support."
Shu Yuan glanced at Jiang Suichu next to her, then narrowed her eyes and looked at him: "There's no pet shop in Beicheng? No cat cafe?"
Lu Zhinian: “………….”
Lu Zhinian licked his lower lip: "These data need to be comprehensive. Which cat lover can let me carry a bunch of equipment and point it at his cat."
Shu Yuan twitched her lips and said with an expression that saw through him: "I have never heard of any game developer who needs a cat for data support."
Jiang Suchu's eyes flickered back and forth between Shu Yuan and Lu Zhinian. Why did she feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Lu Zhinian raised his hand to scratch his brow bone, secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, and said bravely, "That means they are not as rigorous as me."
Shu Yuan snorted in her heart, then smiled and said to Jiang Suichu: "Suibao, go upstairs and wash up first. After washing, go to bed early. I am tired from flying today."
"Oh...oh..." Jiang Suichu put down the cat in a daze and got up to go upstairs.
After walking a few steps, she looked back and Shu Yuan smiled at her: "Go quickly."
After Jiang Suchu went upstairs, Shu Yuan crossed her arms and looked at her son with a straight face: "Lu Zhinian, come with me."
Then he got up and walked to the study.
Lu Zhinian raised his head and looked at the ceiling. Sure enough, Jiang was still very old.
He had no choice but to follow Shu Yuan's footsteps.
When they arrived at the study, Shu Yuan sat in front of the desk with her arms folded and stared at him. Lu Zhinian hung his hands on the seam of his trousers and stood in a standard military posture.
He smiled: "Mom, don't you think this scene is a bit familiar?"
Shu Yuan laughed coldly, tilted her head and looked at him: "Lu Zhinian, your tricks won't work in front of your mother."
"Tell me, why do you want to take the cat to Beicheng?"
Lu Zhinian looked a little uncomfortable and said: "Just... game development requires..."
"Hmph~" Before he could finish his words, Shu Yuan picked up a writing brush on the desk and threw it over, "Keep making nonsense to me."
Fortunately, Lu Zhinian reacted quickly. He tilted his head and the brush quickly passed by his ear and hit the wall behind him with a clang.
Lu Zhinian looked back and saw a very powerful ink mark on the white wall, with ink splatters on the side as if someone had thrown it up.
He turned back and looked at Shu Yuan: "Mom, when did you go to the shooting range with my dad to practice?"
Seeing that he is still looking carelessly.
Shu Yuan slapped the table angrily, her voice rising: "Lu Zhinian, tell me what I told you here when you were in your senior year of high school?"
Lu Zhinian felt guilty for the first time when he spoke: "Don't cross the line."
Shu Yuan looked at him and snorted coldly: "I think you turned a deaf ear to my words. You even took the cat to Beicheng to observe the data. I think you wanted to borrow the cat to kidnap Suibao home."
She knew something was wrong as soon as he said what he just said. He brought some cat to Beicheng for no reason.
Lu Zhinian: “………….”
He stood up straight and said seriously: "Mom. I admit that I have this intention, but it is not entirely like this."
"Huh?" Shu Yuan looked at him to see what other reasons he could make up.
Lu Zhinian: "Doctor Chen said that pets are helpful for Jiang Suichu's condition and can calm her emotions. That's why I thought of bringing Mimi and Beibei there."
Jiang Suichu stayed in the apartment several times, and Lu Zhinian found that she would sleep uneasily every late night. His brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
But when he got up in the morning, he asked her if she had a nightmare and she said no.
Later, he consulted Jiang Suichu's psychiatrist in private, and the doctor said that the fear still existed in Jiang Suichu's subconscious. He also asked the doctor if there was any way to cure it, but the doctor said there was no way. But you can find something to do that usually relaxes her, such as traveling, raising pets, etc.
Pet therapy, the doctor has indeed said this before.
Shu Yuan frowned and said, "But I asked Suibao just now and she said she no longer has nightmares."
Lu Zhinian: "That's because she didn't realize it. In fact, she still felt uneasy when sleeping at night."
After hearing what he said, Shu Yuan nodded, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong.
She raised her eyes and looked at him: "How do you know that Suibao can't sleep well?"
Lu Zhinian was stunned for a moment.
I'm going to be careless!
Seeing what Shu Yuan didn't understand about his appearance, she gritted her teeth and pointed at him: "Well, Lu Zhinian, I think you haven't been whipped by your father for a long time, so you are getting timid."
"How old is Suibao? You..."
As a mother, she was too embarrassed to say the next words. She was so angry that she looked away and tried to calm down her anger.
Lu Zhinian rubbed the tip of his nose uncomfortably and said with some embarrassment: "Mom, I'm twenty. And we have been dating for several years..."
If we count from the time when we exchanged feelings in the first year of high school, it has been almost five years.
Shu Yuan crossed her arms and snorted coldly: "Are you still reasonable?"
Lu Zhinian stood up straight and said with an upright attitude: "No. I just want to say that if I dare to do it, I dare to do it. I will be good to Sui Bao all my life."
Shu Yuan slowly looked at her son.
With a height of 187cm, she had to look up at him even when she stood in front of him. He has neat short hair and looks very similar to Lu Shenghua, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. If she were not his mother, she would indeed look like a mature adult at first glance.
Thinking of what had happened between the two of them, she sighed softly. Young people have young people's lives, and she does need to let go.
She put down her hands and softened her tone: "A-Nian, originally these things might be a little private, and Dad should tell you. But now that I know about it today, there are some things I must tell you."
Lu Zhinian looked at Shu Yuan, stood up straight and listened carefully.
Shu Yuan: "When you are of age, it is natural that some things will happen when you are deeply in love. However, as a boy, you must learn to respect and protect girls."
"Especially since you are still young and still in school, you must take the necessary measures well. Don't make mistakes just for the sake of temporary pleasure. As I told you before, girls are in a vulnerable position."
"Perhaps when many articles and videos mention the awakening of women's consciousness, they will call for the awakening of women's sexual consciousness. Although I also agree that women also have the equal right to talk about sex, in my opinion, this equality is originally based on on the basis of inequality.”
"Because the risk that boys need to face in this regard is very small or zero, but it is different for girls. Girls may get sick or even become pregnant because of some bad behaviors of boys. These consequences are all for girls. The children will bear it.”
After saying that, Shu Yuan looked at him: "Mom said so much, do you understand, Anian?"
Lu Zhinian nodded and said seriously: "Mom, don't worry. I will protect Suisui well."
"Yes." Shu Yuan rubbed her eyebrows and waved her hand, "Go to bed first."
Lu Zhinian glanced at Shu Yuan, who was a little worried, and paused: "Mom."
"Well." Shu Yuan put down her hand and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhinian smiled and said, "Thank you."
In fact, in Lu Zhinian's heart, Shu Yuan has always been more like his friend and life mentor than his mother. No matter what happened to him since he was a child, he would never be blamed for no reason. Instead, reason with him carefully and finally fully respect his choice.
This is why he never gets impatient whenever something happens.
Because Shu Yuan gave him enough respect and the right to make his own choices since he was a child.
Shu Yuan paused, smiled and waved: "Go to sleep."
