Savage growth

Chapter 52 So It Was You (It Was Always You...)

Jiang Ye stared at the bunch of keys hooked by his fingers, stretched out his hand to grab them, and held them preciously in the palm of his hand.

He raised his eyes, looked at Lu Chuan, and reminded: "Where's the address?"

Lu Chuan hugged his half-grown little golden retriever and said with a smile, "Nancheng, Fengnan Road, Courtyard No. 502, [-], Unit [-], Building [-]."

Lu Chuan paused every few words and spoke slowly.

Jiang Ye printed this string of addresses in his mind bit by bit.

He knew that it was the place where Lu Chuan would go back no matter where he went.

That home is extremely important to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan can give him the key and tell him the address, which means that he is also very important to Lu Chuan.

Jiang Ye laughed, and said brightly, "It's imprinted in my mind."

That night, Jiang Ye returned home with the special products that Lu Chuan gave him, and his mother and sister would inevitably see the many things he brought home.

Kang Mei thought he bought it, and she was surprised, "Xiao Ye, why did you suddenly buy so many things? Why is this?"

Jiang Ye smiled unconsciously, and explained: "I didn't buy it, but Lu Chuan brought some specialties back to Nancheng and gave me some."

The last half sentence is a bit false.

Where some were given to him, they were all given to him.

Jiang Yao's eyes lit up instantly when she heard Jiang Ye mentioning Lu Chuan, she immediately got up, leaned over, picked all kinds of snacks in the bag, and asked with a raised tone: "He also specially brought special products What is it?"

Jiang Yao casually picked up a bag of snacks, "Is it delicious?"

"I don't know," Jiang Ye said with a smile, "Try it."

Immediately, he stopped talking, lowered his eyes and pursed his lower lip lightly.

I feel a little awkward.

It's not because my sister ate the special products Lu Chuan gave him.

It was because he found that his sister still liked Lu Chuan very much.

But how will he let his sister know that Lu Chuan has the same sexual orientation, and that the person he likes is...it is him.

Kang Mei smiled and asked, "Lu Chuan? Isn't it the neighbor's kid you brought home for dinner when you were young?"

Jiang Yao turned her head and smiled at Kang Mei: "That's him. He transferred here this semester and his grades are very good. I told you that he was the one who took the first place."

When she mentioned Lu Chuan, she was so excited that she couldn't hide the light in her eyes.

Kang Mei immediately saw through her daughter's little thoughts, she smiled, a young girl in adolescence.

However, she will not insist on keeping the child too far away from the opposite sex. As long as she doesn't do anything too outrageous, it's fine to let nature take its course, and maybe even stimulate self-motivation and become better together.

Jiang Ye next to him clenching his fingers calmly, took a few packs of snacks and went back to the room.

He knew that he couldn't back down on emotional matters, and he didn't intend to back down.

But because of my sister, I feel uncomfortable after all.

Only take one step at a time.

Now he can only hope that his sister's feelings for Lu Chuan will gradually fade or even dissipate over time.

Holidays always fly by.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived.

After New Year's Eve is Jiang Ye's birthday.

Lu Chuan was invited by Jiang Ye early in the morning, saying that he would go to his house for a meal at noon on the first day of junior high school, and Hao Shuai and the others would also go.

Jiang Ye didn't know that Lu Chuan had been working as a part-time tutor since he came back from Nancheng, earning some money.

Then he used the money to buy Jiang Ye a birthday present.

It's not that Lu Chuan has no money.

Lu Mingyong would often give him living expenses, Duan Shulan would also give him money, and he himself had the savings left by his grandmother.

But he never thought that what Lu Mingyong and Duan Shulan gave belonged to him.

And grandma's money...he doesn't want to touch it now.

So Lu Chuan prefers to buy things for Jiang Ye through his own efforts and the money he earns.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Lu Chuan explained the situation to Lu Mingyong and Duan Shulan and planned to leave the house. When he saw Duan Yi driving back at the door, he stopped and asked, "Aren't you going to Jiang Ye's birthday party?"

Duan Yi said lightly: "It's fine if you want it."

Lu Chuan nodded, and continued to walk forward, his steps were extraordinarily brisk.

Lu Chuan successfully found his apartment building according to the address Jiang Ye gave him. Before he got to the building, he saw Jiang Ye waiting for him at the door of the building.

The corner of Lu Chuan's mouth raised slightly, and he walked towards him at a faster pace.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jiang Ye raised his face, and then smiled.

"It's late, you," Jiang Ye said, "I'm just waiting for you."

Lu Chuan was a little surprised, "Are they all so early? I thought I came early enough."

Jiang Ye snorted softly, and said dissatisfiedly, "You just don't want me."

"I was waiting for you downstairs early in the morning."

"Trust me." Lu Chuan stuffed the bag in Jiang Ye's arms into Jiang Ye's arms, followed him into the apartment building, and exposed him: "I told you specifically when I was going out that you said you would go downstairs later."

Jiang Ye laughed, impatiently put his hand into the bag, and took out a belt from it.

Of course it's not a big name brand, it's just a niche fashion brand, but for their age, it's not very cheap.

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that Lu Chuan would give him such an expensive thing. Holding the belt, he asked Lu Chuan in a daze, "How rich are you? How can you spend it so much?"

Lu Chuan felt that this person was really disappointing, so he glanced at him and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it, can I not like it?" Jiang Ye touched the belt preciously.

Lu Chuan said: "Like it is enough."

"I spend my own money and neither steal nor rob."

The elevator door opened, Jiang Ye pulled Lu Chuan in, approached him happily and said, "Did I get an invisible rich boyfriend by accident?"

Lu Chuan groaned slightly, and pushed him away, and the two of them separated a little.

When Jiang Ye led Lu Chuan to open the house, before Lu Chuan stepped in, he heard Hao Shuai and Shen Yang chattering and chattering, very lively.

As soon as Lu Chuan came, everyone was there.

There weren't many people there, just a few friends who had a good time with Jiang Ye on weekdays came, besides Lu Chuan, they were Hao Shuai, Shen Yang, and Lu Xiaoqian, and the girls Jiang Ye only called Wen Liang and Ai Fei.

Several people sat around the table, Hao Shuai snatched Jiang Ye's bag curiously, took out the belt from it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fuck, leather belt? This one costs a lot of money? "

"Did it come from Master Chuan?!" Shen Yang was also shocked.

Others also turned their attention to this birthday gift. While several people were talking, Kang Mei served the last hot soup and said with a smile, "It's all ready."

Hao Shuai: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Shen Yang: "Aunt Kang has worked hard!"

Kang Mei smiled as she watched the two live treasures sing together, and then she noticed Lu Chuan who was sitting on the other side of Jiangye. Her eyes stopped on Lu Chuan, sizing him up gently.

Lu Chuan called out politely: "Hello, Auntie."

Kang Mei replied softly: "Hello, I haven't seen you for many years, the longer you grow, the more handsome you are."

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "You...know me?"

Kang Mei was also taken aback. When he asked her this question, she suddenly became a little puzzled, and subconsciously said, "Aren't you Lu Chuan? The kid who lived in Sizhuang Hutong when I was young, we were neighbors at the time, and you were still called Ono led us into the house and had dinner with us..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Chuanren froze in his seat.

Apart from Jiang Ye and Jiang Yao, several other people present also looked at them in astonishment.

It seemed that something in Lu Chuan's mind gradually became clear from hazy.

Immediately, the picture began to flash rapidly, one scene after another.

The black outline surrounded by light that had appeared in his dreams countless times finally had a clear face. It was Jiang Ye when he was a child, white and clean, with a body neither fat nor thin, very well-proportioned.

"Your stomach is growling, are you hungry?" Xiao Jiangye took out a green green apple-flavored jelly from his pocket, stuffed it into the palm of the thin and thin Lu Chuan, and said childishly but sincerely to him: "This is me. Dad brought it back for you to eat."

"Hey, why don't you go home again? It's getting dark!"

"Otherwise," Xiao Jiangye stretched out his chubby little hand, "Why don't you come back with me for dinner."

They became more and more acquainted, and Xiao Luchuan became Xiao Jiangye's follower, chasing after him all the time, reaching out his hand to grab Xiao Jiangye's clothes, and softly shouted: "Brother Jiangye, brother Jiangye..." etc. I.

"Why are you alone again?" Xiao Jiangye sat next to Xiao Luchuan and asked him to turn his back, "Then I'll play games with you, I'll write and you guess."

Xiao Jiangye, who had just learned and memorized his name, wrote down his name stroke by stroke on Xiao Luchuan's back, tilted his head and leaned over to ask, "Can you guess it?"

Xiao Luchuan shook his head and remained silent.

"Then I'll write it again." The little boy wrote it again in a proper manner, and continued to ask: "Can I do it this time?"

Xiao Luchuan still shook his head.

"Idiot, I wrote 'Jiangye'! Can you write my name?"

Xiao Luchuan still shook his head.

"I'll teach you." Xiao Jiangye grabbed his hand, flattened his palm, and began to write on his palm: "Three points of water, one horizontal, one vertical and one horizontal, is Jiang..."

After that, what followed was the mother, that man, and that man's hands...

Lu Chuan was shocked by the memories that suddenly flooded into his mind. He seemed to have lost his soul, bit his lower lip, and frowned as if he had become an empty shell.

Jiang Ye didn't expect that his mother would tell the matter directly. He didn't expect that what he hadn't disclosed to Lu Chuan would be revealed by his mother in the end.

Jiang Yao also obviously forgot about this level, she looked at Lu Chuan and her brother blankly for a while, and then at her mother, not knowing what to say.

After Kang Mei finished speaking, she saw that Lu Chuan's expression was not quite right, and realized that Lu Chuan didn't seem to remember, so she quickly said, "You were all young at the time, so it's normal not to remember."

"No," Lu Chuan said suddenly, with a low voice, and said to her calmly and seriously, "I remember."

He looked up at Kang Mei, and sincerely thanked: "I really thank Auntie for taking care of me at that time."

Kang Mei smiled and said gently, "You're welcome."

"Okay, you guys eat, I'm uncomfortable with you and I can't let go."

"That Xiaoye...the cake is in the kitchen, remember to eat it with friends later."

Jiang Ye replied: "Okay."

When Kang Mei left, Hao Shuai couldn't help but asked immediately, "What's the matter, Brother Ye? Master Chuan? You knew each other when you were young? Then why haven't you mentioned it?"

Before Jiang Ye and Lu Chuan could speak, Jiang Yao took the lead and seemed to explain: "It's normal to have a blurry memory of things when you are four or five years old!"

"I don't remember either. If my mother hadn't mentioned it just now, I would never have remembered that Lu Chuan came to my house for dinner when I was a child!"

In fact, she basically has no impression of Lu Chuan being brought home by her brother when she was a child. She just caught Lu Chuan's expression and didn't look good, so she didn't want him to be asked too much.

After being told by Jiang Yao, several other people also thought it was normal. After all, it was four or five years old, so it was normal to have no impression.

Jiang Ye naturally also noticed that something was wrong with Lu Chuan.

His hand secretly held Lu Chuan's under the table.

Warm and dry hands grabbed Lu Chuan's fingers, which made his expression slightly loosen, and he managed to regain his senses.

Lu Chuan turned his face slowly, looking at Jiang Ye with emotion in his eyes.

He read it from his eyes—Jiang Ye recognized him from the beginning.

He always knew that he was the little boy who was always hungry and refused to go home.

That's why on the first day of their reunion, he would suddenly slap the table and stare at him in the examination room.

That's why he used that composition reminder to test him, to make sure that he had a little impression of him.

That's why he knows exactly that he likes jelly, and that he only likes the green apple flavor.

That's why he cared so much about him as a transfer student and took good care of him.

It turned out that it was you.

It's always been you.
