The first date
This night, they chatted for a long time with the firecrackers outside the window, and Lu Yan couldn’t remember what they talked about afterward. He never imagined that he would one day be like a hairy boy, excited and happy just because he was with a person and said meaningless words that were forgotten later. But it was not a bad feeling.
When he woke up the next day, Lu Yan felt different from usual. He opened his eyes and faced a sleeping face that was close at hand. Everything that happened last night was revived in the chaotic memory in the early morning, like a sweet scene in a dream. Fortunately, it was not a dream.
They didn’t remember when they talked yesterday, and fell asleep before they knew it. Su Mo was even wearing the same clothes he had when he came, and he didn’t have time to change.
Lu Yan looked at Su Mo’s soft and quiet sleeping face, and his heart was peaceful. Perhaps sensing his gaze, Su Mo’s long eyelashes trembled in a short while, his eyes rolled gently under his lids, and he slowly opened his eyes.
“Good morning!” Lu Yan put his head on one hand and greeted with a smile.
“Morning.” Su Mo didn’t feel uncomfortable because of the overly intimate gesture of the two of them, and returned a particularly calm smile.
Clothes that were wrinkled due to being pressed all night were naturally no longer wearable. Su Mo called the driver to bring a set of clothes over, and by the way, brought the breakfast prepared by Aunt Fang. Yesterday’s family dinner, although Aunt Fang was not the chef, there were a lot of things to do, so the three meals were delivered by the driver alone.
In fact, Lu Yan also said that he was almost better now, and there was no need for Aunt Fang to deliver meals every day, but Aunt Fang insisted that she liked to see people who liked to eat her food, and she was very busy now, and she didn´t feel troublesome, Lu Yan would not be able to push it down again.
Aunt Fang could have guessed what the eldest young master was thinking about Lu Yan, and wanted to help the eldest young master earn more points in front of Lu Yan. He was also annoyed because he couldn’t eat Aunt Fang’s loving meal for a few days when she went home during the Spring Festival, and every time she came to the hospital, she would consciously or unintentionally tell some interesting things about Su Mo’s childhood, and then complimented a few words.
Lu Yan naturally could hear her intentions, and in the case that Su Mo himself did not know, Lu Yan even knew how old he was, what competitions he had participated in, how many awards he had won, and how many love letters from his classmates and sisters he had received.
Lu Yan was actually a little emotional. Su Mo was not only successful in his career, but also extremely successful as a person. After many people hold great power or have a wealth, they tend to betray their relatives and leave, and end up alone and old, and there was no one around them they could trust. But there were so many people around Su Mo who sincerely wished him happiness. The human heart was the most incapable of deceiving, even if it was Su Jue, the means were not very bright, but the mind could not be boring.
Such an outstanding person was fond of himself alone, even for someone as calm as Lu Yan, it was inevitable that he would be a little proud. But now, they had the same mind and belong to each other, and it was really wonderful that they could respond to this mind willingly.
Lu Yan even had a faint feeling, or he lived a whole life again, just to meet Su Mo like this.
The driver quickly brought the clothes, and Lu Yan had already changed into the outing clothes he had prepared earlier. Both of them were dressed more casually today, with sweaters, trousers and longer coats, simple styles and high-quality fabrics, which look very textured. Lu Yan wore light colors, while Su Mo preferred dark colors. Standing together like this, the two of them looked a bit like wearing a couple’s outfit.
It was the first time that Lu Yan saw Su Mo wearing clothes other than suits in the daytime. Although the color was darker, it lacked the rigidity of the suit style, and the whole person looked softer and younger. Lu Yan couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Su Mo noticed his gaze, and looked at himself up and down in confusion, “What’s wrong, is there something wrong?”
“No,” Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, “I just think, you look so pretty.”
Su Mo always smiled generously, “You’re also pretty.”
This kind of dialogue between two men always felt a little weird, but it seemed natural between them. Because no one could deny that they were really good looking.
Before leaving, the two went to ask the doctor together. The doctor said that as long as they didn’t stand or walk for a long time, there was no problem, and Lu Yan’s foot injury was almost healed. Proper exercise was more conducive to recovery.
This was Lu Yan’s first time going out since he was admitted to the hospital, but after only two or three months, he felt that the whole city was a lot unfamiliar, and Lu Yan couldn’t help looking around while sitting in the car.
Seeing his appearance, Su Mo teased, “Why, don’t you know it?”
Lu Yan smiled and admitted, “Yeah, I feel as if I don’t know it, this time I’ve been resting for too long.”
Su Mo comforted, “You’ll be officially discharged in a few days.”
Lu Yan nodded, “People’s ability to adapt is very strong. I believe that I will be familiar with this city again soon, but I hope this city has not forgotten me.”
“No,” Su Mo affirmed, “Even if you forget it, you will remember it quickly.”
“I believe so too!”
They went to the temple with the most prosperous incense in the city, which was said to be very effective, and often pilgrims from other places come here to worship the gods and make their vows.
Su Mo drove the car directly to the top of the mountain, although it would be more sincere and effective to go up from the foot of the mountain one step at a time. But now Lu Yan’s situation was obviously not suitable for doing so, not to mention that for Su Mo, this trip was more of a memory, he had nothing to do with the gods, and there was no sincerity or insincereness.
Along the way, Su Mo occasionally said a few words, all about the things that he came to worship with his parents in those years.
The Su Mo brothers and father were atheists, but their mother was a devout Buddhist, often saying that worshiping Buddhas had the blessings of the Buddha, that they would visit a temple every time they went to worship, that they also donated a lot of incense money every year, and that they listened to the admonitions of the Buddhist scriptures. However, the gods did not bless them, so young, they both died unexpectedly.
When Su Mo said these words, his expression had an indifference and irony that Lu Yan had never seen before. Thinking about it, he didn’t really let go of his parents’ accident.
Lu Yan thought for a while and said, “Maybe the gods have actually blessed them, or things could have been worse.”
Su Mo was obviously stunned, as if remembering something, and said slowly, “Maybe you are right, if it is a mother, she must think the same way. On the day of the accident, Su Jue was also going to follow, but he suddenly fell ill the day before, so he escaped a disaster, and since then, his health has gradually improved.” Su Mo laughed, “Lu Yan, thank you.” After all, heaven had left him an important relative. Lu Yan, thank you. After all, God has left an important relative for me. Come on, accompany me in and say goodbye.” As they spoke, they had already walked outside the main hall.
There were many people selling incense along the way, but Su Mo ignored it, and only then did he become interested. There were many kinds of incense, the most popular ones were wishing incense and restoring incense, which were also the most attractive places for pilgrims in this temple. But Su Mo only bought the most common kind of incense.
Lu Yan was a little strange, “Aren’t you going to buy some wishing incense?”
“I have no wish to pray to the gods for. I will try my best to get what I want.” Su Mo said with a smile, and he really had the aura of looking down on the world.
Lu Yan thought about it and bought a bunch of incense.
Su Mo asked curiously, “Do you also believe in Buddhism?”
Lu Yan smiled, “No, I don’t believe it. But I still have something to thank.”
This was contradictory, but Su Mo didn’t go into it. Everyone should have the right to keep some secrets.
The temple was full of incense all year round. Even on the first day of the new year, there were many less pilgrims from other places, and it was not necessarily less lively. Most of the people who came to offer incense were elderly people or they were from a family with the old and the young. The combination of two adult men like Su Mo and Lu Yan could be said to be unique. For a time, all kinds of curious eyes fell on the two of them.
Fortunately, most of these people didn’t care much about fashion and entertainment, let alone chasing stars, so even if Lu Yan didn’t do too much cover up, he didn’t attract a lot of onlookers.
But there were always exceptions. After the two finished the incense, they walked back from the direction of the main hall. Because they were not in a hurry to go back, they took a detour and did not return from the original road, but took another road that was less crowded but more remote.
When passing by the marriage tree, Lu Yan suddenly stopped, “Is this a date?”
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, but he never thought about this issue, after all, dating had never appeared in his dictionary. With such a word, Director Su, who was in love for the first time in his life, thought about it seriously, and then said seriously, “It should be.”
“Then, let’s do some things that we would do on a date.” Lu Yan, who was also in love for the first time in his life, always seemed to be more experienced, and this had to be attributed to the actor, which was a very affectionate industry.
“What?” Su Mo asked when he didn’t understand.
Lu Yan smiled, said “wait for me here.” and walked away.
Su Mo waited on the spot for a while, and Lu Yan ran over with a purse in his hand, which was the small sachet that the young lady usually hanged around her waist and hid in her arms in ancient TV dramas.
The one in Lu Yan’s hand was bright red, as red as the wedding dresses of young men and women when they got married in ancient times. Lu Yan opened the purse as if offering a treasure, and there were two red notes inside, with two names written on them, one Lu Yan, one Su Mo.
Su Mo looked at the tree in front of him with similar purses hanging on it, and immediately understood, he pointed to the purse, “Where did you get it?”
Lu Yan pointed to the direction he had just run to, “There is someone specializing in selling it”
“How did you know that?”
“I guessed it. Luckily, I found it as soon as I looked for it.” Lu Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly. Of course, he won’t honestly say that he only knew because he had been running around here before. After all, he had not filmed that role in this life, and he would not have the opportunity to do it.
Su Mo naturally wouldn’t doubt his words. Lu Yan weighed the purse in his hand, looked at the tree and said, “It is said that the higher the purse is, the stronger and longer the relationship between the two people will be.”
Hearing this, Su Mo silently took the purse, “Then let me come.”
Su Mo first turned his hands to warm up, then aimed at a branch on the tree, swung a big circle with his right hand, and threw it out with a flick of his hand.
The purse jumped in a beautiful arc in the air, and then hung firmly on the branch. That branch was the highest place from which the whole tree extends, and the closest purse under it was a long way away, and that purse looked down on all beings from the highest point alone.
Su Mo turned around, showing a smug expression, as if to say, praise me quickly.
Lu Yan extended his thumb, “Amazing!”
Seeing Su Mo’s rare vivid expression, Lu Yan’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that he should do something unsuitable for children on a date. Unfortunately, before he could act, they were interrupted by a surprise call.
It seemed that a young man and a woman were also here to throw their marriage on the line. The girl suddenly screamed and rushed over and exclaimed excitedly, “Lu Yan! Are you Lu Yan?”
Lu Yan never expected that after going out for the first time after being admitted to the hospital, he would meet fans. He smiled and nodded, “I’m Lu Yan.”
The girl had recovered from the gaffe of meeting the male god, and asked a little embarrassedly, “I heard that you were injured and hospitalized, now you are better. Is it?”
“It’s much better, thank you for your concern.”
Afterwards, the girl’s boyfriend also came over, and the two asked to take a photo with him, and after a few words of concern, they separated.
After the fans left, Lu Yan turned to look for Su Mo. As soon as the female fan appeared, Su Mo quietly avoided it. Of course, he didn’t care whether he was exposed or not, he just didn’t want to cause trouble for Lu Yan. After all, this place was a bit sensitive, and Lu Yan’s career was on the rise, so it was not suitable for him to be involved in same-sex scandals.
Su Mo was waiting not far ahead, and Lu Yan quickly found him.
Lu Yan didn’t say anything about the behavior that Su Mo had just avoided. Lu Yan knew the stakes better than him.
No one was around, Lu Yan quietly held Su Mo’s hand, raised a smile, “Let’s go.”
