After Lu Yi finished speaking, there was silence on the other side of the phone. He looked at the battery level displayed on the top of the phone screen and sighed in his heart, but his tone was gentle: “I just mentioned that, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.”

In the end, Ji Rui said, “I didn’t disagree, I just didn’t take it easy for a while, dear, you are too smart, why didn’t I think of this idea?”

People of his age hope that their parents could control themselves a little less, but his mother currently didn´t have a job, and there was no way to revolve around her husband, so she could only revolve around her son.

Even if he liked a girl, it was estimated that his relationship could be disturbed by his mother. What he liked was a man now. His mother would watch the situation calm down, and he must have secretly thought of ten ideas to disturb him.

It was not terrible to think about, but the terrible thing was that he still had the time and energy to implement it. Who let her have nothing to do, too idle.

A smile appeared on Lu Yi’s face: “Besides soulmates, career is also very important, aunt is still recovering, she can’t do that kind of work that takes too much energy, but you can try to develop some hobbies. Is there anything she likes in particular?”

Ji Rui thought for a while: “Yes, she likes photography.”

“Let’s talk more about her likes and dislikes. Before meeting my aunt, I must do my homework.” Knowing yourself and the enemy could help him improve his favorability.

It can be said that Lu Yi treated his relationship very seriously. Even if he and Ji Rui may not be able to go on for a long time, he still had a very positive attitude to manage and maintain the relationship between him and Ji Rui.

This also included resolving family troubles and respecting each other’s parents.

She gave birth to Ji Rui in October because of Ji Rui’s mother’s pregnancy. In the mood of her husband’s death, she raised her son alone for so many years, and she have raised people so cute, he should give her enough respect.

“Okay! My mother likes… What she hates is…” Ji Rui sold his own mother without hesitation.

As Ji Rui said, Lu Yi took a pen and wrote it down on the paper. In fact, it would be more convenient to use the keyboard, but the sound of typing on the keyboard was too loud, which would prevent him from hearing Ji Rui’s voice.

Almost tossing to midnight, Lu Yi glanced at the clock on the wall: “I feel almost done, let’s leave it here today, you have worked hard today, rest early.”

“It’s not hard at all.” Ji Rui was still reluctant to hang up: “I shouldn’t be able to cook for you tomorrow. It’s hard for us to meet with my mother here.”

They were obviously in the same community, but the two of them were just like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, separated by the Milky Way1 that the mother-in-law created.

“Although we can’t face each other, the two of us can make a video. If you’re worried about auntie finding out, you can just clear the news.” Now that technology is so advanced, as long as there was an Internet connection, you could see your face anytime you want, the difference was that you couldn’t touch and make in-depth contact.

“Yes, I forgot when I was in a hurry.”

At Ji Rui’s request, Lu Yi softened his heart and stared at his little boyfriend for an hour without any principle.

The clocks on the wall all pointed to one o’clock, and he told Ji Rui to go to bed with a strong attitude.

This time, Ji Rui’s mother could only stay here for a short time, so the two of them agreed that Lu Yi would not be allowed to come out first, while Ji Rui would accompany her mother abroad to spend the summer vacation, and come back before the end of the summer vacation.

On the one hand, it was to see if Ji Rui could adapt, and on the other hand, it was to make up for her previous regrets.

During this period, Lu Yi never broke contact with Ji Rui. With Ji Rui as a “traitor”, Ji Rui’s mother found a partner in a short period of time.

Petite and beautiful oriental women were still very popular in the country where she lived, and there were many Chinese in that area, and there were many Chinese who respected women and were excellent in all aspects.

Ji Rui’s mother was not so good at strategy. Although her husband had been gone for so many years, it was difficult for her to fall in love with a man again, but she couldn’t stand the suitor’s own condition and willingness to work hard, and Ji Rui’s own son was behind the scenes to help fuel the flames.

The old house was on fire, and it was out of control. Besides, Ji Rui didn’t feel that her mother was bad either. She had learned a lot, but she sacrificed a lot for her family and for her son.

When Ji Rui’s summer vacation was almost over, there was also a sign of her mother and her partner, and all the music and art that she liked before were also picked up. With Ji Rui’s memory, her mother’s brilliance when she was young was moving.

Because she had a partner, she really couldn’t worry about her son too much. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Ji Rui bought a plane ticket to return to China.

Lu Yi drove to pick him up, the little boyfriend saw him and ran over with a big suitcase, Lu Yi also walked over quickly, and when there were two or three steps left, Ji Rui didn’t even want the suitcase, and rushed to the front to hang on Lu Yi, the others couldn’t help but look at the two of them.

This was still Ji Rui’s restraint. If there were not so many people coming and going, he would have kiss Lu Yi directly in the face.

Lu Yi was indifferent and didn’t feel ashamed. He hugged his boyfriend steadily and turned around twice before putting him down.

Lu Yi squeezed his face: “You seem to have lost weight, are you still happy over there?”

Although the two of them often video chat, there was no way to keep in touch all the time, and what happened was not as good as when they lived together.

“It’s okay, grandpa and grandma are not as difficult as I thought.”

Of course, he couldn’t say how difficult it was to get along with. After all, his grandfather and grandmother not only had his mother as a daughter, but there were also other children. Forget his mother.

But after revealing that he didn’t want to stay here at all, it was because of his mother that he had no idea about property at all, and these people’s attitude towards him was much better.

But he didn’t tell Lu Yi about these bad things, to report good news and not bad news.

Lu Yi took his luggage and put it in the trunk: “Do you need to avoid the jet lag, or should we go out to eat first?”

“I slept in the plane, let’s have something to eat.”

During the meal, Lu Yi heard Ji Rui explain the situation clearly, and looked at the beaming boyfriend, Lu Yi kept staring at him without speaking.

It was Ji Rui who was still talking, feeling that something was wrong, so he stopped and asked Lu Yi, “Why are you looking at me and not saying a word, it’s useless for you to blame myself.”

Lu Yi said, “I think you look good. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I finally saw you. I want to take a good look at you.”

Although they had been dating for such a long time, Ji Rui’s face was still red: “You really are…”

He said that he disliked Lu Yi sweet’s mouth, but his heart very much liked to this kind of sweet talk. Who didn’t like to listen well?

The two were finally together again, and they didn’t go anywhere after that. Lu Yi “checked” at home whether Ji Rui’s inside was the same as before he left.

At the end, Lu Yi said, “My dad is also relieved. I’ll take you back this year for the New Year, okay?”

Lu Yi didn’t want to use the family’s money in the first place, but Lu’s father and Lu’s mother were very worried about their son. In the end, they couldn’t hold back. They called and didn’t say anything. They immediately supported him, but their mouth was hard, just saying that if Lu Yi wanted to bring people back, just bring them back to see.

Ji Rui responded without thinking: “Okay!”

The last time he went back as Lu Yi’s friend, this time he was going back as Lu Yi’s boyfriend, and he felt very excited just thinking about it.

Although they still couldn’t fully accept that their son had found a male wife, compared to the time when he used a broom to chase people away, Mother Lu’s attitude was much better. Ji Rui was good-looking and had a sweet mouth. As elders, no matter what she thought, she couldn’t embarrass people. At most, she could say a few painful words.

When Lu Yi returned home, it was approaching the end of the year. This was the last small holiday for seniors in high school. Without the original Lu Yi as a pedal, Zhao Wuchen’s life was not bad, but it was not good either.

Although Zhao Wuchen was a scumbag, he was not the worst person. It could only be said that he had small eyes, selfishness, and liked to take advantage of others, but he was not brave enough. Although he was angry and resentful, he had a high fever, and because his mood was too bad, he failed the test. After a few times, he “felt remorse”.

Originally, his family was a bit messy, and his parents liked him, that is, because he had good grades, so they could show off.

He thought to himself that he had lived a new life again, it made no sense that Lu Yi lived so happily, but he lived worse than his previous life. Obviously, Lu Yi’s grades were not as good as his.

After all, the foundation was still there. After working hard for a period of time, his grades climbed up again, and his life was not much different from that of other high school students.

He originally wanted to talk about Lu Yi, but at that time, Mother Lu talked to him privately, holding the evidence of the original owner Lu Yi in her hand.

If the words were shaken out, it wouldn´t benefit him in this small town. Zhao Wuchen was not a good person, but doing that kind of bad thing was a bit cowardly.

In the end, he gave up and lived his life as a high school student peacefully.

The main reason was that the people and things he knew in his previous life were just like that. He was a person who always thought bad about other people. For example, Lu Yi, he felt that Lu Yi would definitely try to get revenge on him. If it didn’t work, he didn’t plan to look in the circle he used to, and he didn’t take the university entrance exam in X City anymore. He planned to stay far away from Lu Yi and find someone who in his memory did well in the end to live a good life.

He was not a demon, and Lu Yi wouldn´t take the initiative to suppress him.

To be precise, he didn’t take Zhao Wuchen in his eyes at all, if the other party didn’t come out and jump, he was too lazy to spend that much effort.

When they graduated, Lu Yi and Ji Rui got their certificates. He asked the elders if they wanted him to buy them a house in X City.

But Lu’s father and Lu’s mother both said that they were used to living in the town and didn’t like the life in the big city very much. Lu Yi took a sum of money and built a villa directly in the town, which gave them enough face.

A little later, Lu Er also got married and had children.

Because the big brother helped him a lot, he proposed to let Lu Yi adopt a child to support him, but Lu Yi refused.

There were so many DINK families, and there were so many couples who could have children but choose not to have them. They were all men, why did they have to insist on the fate of father and son.

And for Lu Yi, a little boyfriend was enough for him to worry about, he didn’t want to raise another child.

Until the end of his life, Lu Yi didn’t know whether he succeeded or failed in finding the fragments.

If he failed, he didn’t regret it. After all, everything he tried to do was nothing more than changing his identity and continuing to shine, or doing what he wanted to do.

The only regret was that he couldn’t see Ms. Lu. He always felt guilt towards his real parents.

When Ji Rui stopped breathing, Lu Yi was silent for a long time before regaining his strength. He was about to deal with the affairs of his wife, but suddenly it became dark in front of him, and he fell to the ground.

“3457.5 yuan, thank you.”

Lu Yi came back to his senses and found himself in a shopping mall. The cashier in front of him emphasized the amount again, and the person behind him urged him, “Hurry up.”

“Please swipe your card.”

Because his memory was very confusing, Lu Yi also entered the wrong password several times, but fortunately, he swiped the card successfully before it was locked.

Pushing a cart in the mall, Lu Yi went outside the mall and met Yu Ke who was pulling a suitcase.

He opened his mouth and asked the same words in his memory: “The mall will directly help deliver the goods to the parking lot, so why buy a suitcase?”

Yu Ke coughed twice, and his micro expressions were exactly the same as he remembered: “The things I bought are a little heavy, and I’m afraid they will be crushed. And I’m going on a business trip soon, so I just thought of adding another one.”

Lu Yi suddenly reported several book titles: “The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me”, “The President’s Sweetheart”…”

Yu Ke’s eyes widened in surprise: “How did you know?”

Could it be that Lu Yi had a see-through eye?

Lu Yi took a deep breath: “I remembered that I still have something to buy, Mr. Yu, would you like to accompany me back to the mall?”

He was in a mess now, and there was so much information that his brain wanted explode, but his instinct told him that he must stop Yu Ke from walking to the parking lot with him, at all costs.

Yu Ke felt that his contracted husband had a strange attitude, but he was a very dedicated partner, nodded and said, “Okay.”

Lu Yi took someone to the cafe on the second floor of the shopping mall, and then began to endure his headache and began to contact his subordinates to deal with some things.

Yu Ke couldn’t hold back and said, “Mr. Lu, didn’t you want to buy something?”

This was the wedding night, why spend it in the mall?

Lu Yi glanced at him and said soothingly, “Just wait another half an hour for me.”

Yu Ke fell silent, didn’t speak any more, just watched Lu Yi hold his hand silently.

If he remembered correctly, before this, this Mr. Lu had always been indifferent to himself, why did he suddenly change his attitude. It was as if he was looking for someone to tell him what was going on.

But obviously, unless Lu Yi told him, he didn’t know what happened. But this young and promising Mr. Lu seemed to be very busy.

Maybe Lu Yi forgot to let go, he thought, should he remind the other party?

Reminder, don’t remind…don’t remind, remind, don’t remind! Yu Ke finally made a pleasant decision, he didn’t remind him, he didn’t take advantage of the bastard!
