Re-engraving the Spring - Chapter 57

The meeting with Luo Yun went well. The three sat together for the first time in a long time. Luo Yun still sat across from Chi Qiu, but today, she was no longer Chi Qiu’s psychiatrist. The two had a relaxed conversation and talked about many interesting things.

Learning that Chi Qiu had a happy married life, Luo Yun was overwhelmed with emotion: “I didn’t expect that I would actually be a matchmaker.” She remembered the past, smiled and narrowed her eyes as she put down the red wine glass in her hand, “When Lu Ming first came to my clinic, he didn’t want to talk to me about anything. He always kept a friendly smile, like he was wearing a fake mask. He looked as if he decided to casually deal with me.”

Chi Qiu gently put down the chopsticks in his hand and listened carefully to Luo Yun’s words.

Noticing Chi Qiu’s movement, Luo Yun continued, “Until one day, he suddenly took the initiative to ask me what was the name of the boy sitting in my garden.”

Luo Yun was overjoyed to see that Lu Ming was willing to talk.

She made a bold decision so she told Lu Ming: “Since you want to know, you should ask him yourself. If he is willing to be your friend, he will tell you.”

Lu Ming looked at Luo Yun in disbelief, as if the person in front of him was saying something nonsense.

You know, Chi Qiu’s attitude was indifferent, and he had absolutely no intention of telling him. Otherwise why would Lu Ming ask for Luo Yun’s help?

Lu Ming was particularly embarrassed, he said awkwardly, “He doesn’t tell me, he doesn’t want to talk to me…”

Luo Yun looked at his expression and asked seriously, “You really want to be friends with him?”

“…”

“If you want to, you have to work hard on your own, talk more, and use this place to talk sincerely.” Luo Yun pointed to his heart, her face was gentle, “Luo Ming, making friends is a happy thing, right? Don’t take it as pressure, just treat it sincerely.”

At the very least, take off your fake mask.

Lu Ming’s cheeks were rarely flushed, he was fidgeting, extremely shy and uneasy. The throbbing of his teenage years took over his whole heart. There was a person beating a drum inside, ‘dong dong dong’ to remind him——be brave, be cheerful, be sincere.

He nodded and realized something: “I got it.”

The past was slowly revealed in Luo Yun’s mouth, and Chi Qiu’s face was red when he heard it.

Chi Lanyan frowned, feeling complicated. It turned out that there was still such a period between Chi Qiu and Lu Ming. It was a pity that the child had been holding back from saying anything.

She sighed and said to Luo Yun: “After all this talk, I’m the outsider.”

Chi Lanyan pointed to Chi Qiu: “He, until a few years ago, after the Lu family reconnected with us, he came to ask me, asking if I could help him contact the eldest young master of the Lu family. I wondered why he was suddenly looking for Lu Ming. Even if they met in the clinic before and had a good feeling, it’s not like they still want to find each other after so many years.”

The emotion of first love, once separated by ten years, even though things had remained the same but people had changed.

However, for Chi Lanyan, Lu Ming was quite unappreciative at the beginning.

“I talked to Mr. Lu over and over again about this matter but he always found it difficult to talk about, saying that he has contacted Lu Ming, but the other party said that he was unwilling to return home. I learned something about the bad things in the Lu family, and thought, this is all their own family affairs. We can’t wade through this muddy water, so we didn’t ask again. ”

Chi Lanyan had a headache when she saw Chi Qiu thinking about meeting Lu Ming day and night. She thought that no matter how bad it was, when Lu Yinliang and Chi Xia got married, Chi Qiu would always have a chance to meet Lu Ming.

Unexpectedly, the funny thing was that the marriage was inexplicably canceled but Lu Ming returned to China as scheduled.

And his precious son, Chi Qiu, jumped into the muddy water himself without discussing it with her first.

Chi Lanyan laughed: “I thought it was my silly son who fell in love with Lu Ming at first sight. He jumped into it wishfully and I couldn’t stop him. After a long time, it turned out that Lu Ming made the first move.”

In a few words, there were many things that made Chi Lanyan wonder whether to laugh or cry.

If she had known that Chi Qiu and Lu Ming had this episode in the psychological clinic, she would not have been worried for so long, suspiciously thinking that Lu Ming was only fighting for the family fortune, thinking that Chi Qiu would be led by Lu Ming.

With Luo Yun’s assurance of Lu Ming’s character, her heart knot was untied quite a bit.

Chi Lanyan ate this meal comfortably, and couldn’t help but open another bottle of red wine and clink glasses with Luo Yun. Before the end, she called a designated driver in advance, and took the time to go to the bathroom to make a phone call.

When she came out, the dessert after the meal was served a second time, and it was even packed.

Chi Qiu carried the paper bag given by the waiter: “This dessert is delicious, I’ll pack one.”

Chi Lanyan quite disliked the dessert of this restaurant, she thought it was too sweet: “You think it’s good?” She glanced at the most of the remaining desserts on the table and puzzled, “You don’t like eating things that are too sweet?”

Luo Yun hit the nail on the head, “It should be Lu Ming who wants to eat it, right?”

Now, Chi Lanyan was even more puzzled: “Lu Ming likes to eat sweet things?”

Luo Yun and Chi Qiu spoke at the same time

Luo Yun: “He likes to eat.”

Chi Qiu: “He doesn’t like to eat.”

For a while, they sat down silently, and the three of them looked at each other. Chi Qiu was embarrassed, holding the bag and thinking about how to help Lu Ming hide it.

Fortunately, Luo Yun broke the embarrassment first and said, “It’s been so many years, maybe I remember it wrong.” She said so, but in her heart she probably could never forget——how greasy it was the cup of full sugar milk tea that Lu Ming delivered to her back then.

Half believing and half doubting, Chi Lanyan decided to let it go. Instead, she told Chi Qiu: “Don’t always eat something sweet at night, it’s not good for your health.”

Chi Qiu hurriedly nodded, squeezed the bag in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant. Chi Lanyan’s driver had not yet arrived. She opened the mobile app to see, and it seemed that it would take a few minutes to arrive.

The car that picked up Luo Yun came first.

Chi Qiu saw the expensive car and stopped in front of several people. The window of the driver’s seat rolled down, showing a familiar but at the same time an unfamiliar face.

Chi Qiu stared at him and searched in his mind for a long time before he remembered that this person was called Luo Xu. His advertisements were all over the streets of Xingxi City. He was a well-known big star.

This time, Luo Xu did not wear a mask but he did not get out of the car. In front of Luo Yun, he no longer avoided Chi Qiu and Chi Lanyan; he politely greeted, and even waved to Chi Qiu.

Chi Qiu was stunned and almost responded.

At the same time, there was another young man sitting on the passenger side. He greeted Luo Yun in a cheerful tone across from Luo Xu, “Auntie, I came to pick you up with Luo Xu.”

Chi Qiu looked over, and his chin almost fell to the ground. He recognized this man more than Luo Xu.

It was not that he recognized him, but he had seen him on TV.

Four or five years ago, Chi Qiu also accompanied Chi Xia to ‘watch’ several TV dramas in which he1referring to the one who comes with Luo Xu starred in. Though, the acting was terrible; it was barely acting. Chi Qiu remembered that this person was called Bai Yan. He was a typical vase in the entertainment industry; he couldn’t even sing and act, and always made mistakes in his work. He only had a beautiful face.

Chi Xia was very infatuated with Bai Yan’s face during her high school years, and followed him in every drama.

But her star chasing time did not last long. As a vase, Bai Yan got married early and retired from the circle. After that, he lived abroad for a long time and hardly appeared in front of the media.

Back then, the news of Bai Yan’s retirement from the circle was overwhelming that even people who didn’t pay attention to the entertainment circle would know a thing or two. Because the reason why Bai Yan quit the circle was to marry movie star, Luo Xu.

At this moment, Luo Yun was so amused by Bai Yan that she couldn’t stop laughing and briefly introduced him to them, “This is my nephew Luo Xu, and his partner Bai Yan.”

Chi Lanyan seemed to already know that Luo Yun had a nephew who was a star and was not surprised.

On the contrary, Bai Yan, who was inside the car, was unusually excited to see Chi Qiu. He specially got out of the car and greeted Chi Qiu. He took Chi Qiu’s hand familiarly and said: “You’re Xiao Qiu, right? I’ve often heard auntie talk about you, I didn’t expect you to be so handsome. I’m Bai Yan, you can call me Xiao Yan, nice to meet you.”

Chi Qiu was surprised by Bai Yan’s enthusiasm. As a ‘blind man’, few people would take the trouble to say hello to him. This gesture from Bai Yan made Chi Qiu feel very warm.

He didn’t know how to respond and said, “Hello.”

Bai Yan’s character was straightforward and he did not care about Chi Qiu’s introversion. He knew that Chi Qiu, like himself, married a man so he couldn’t help but be a little more curious.

Seeing Chi Qiu now, Bai Yan was simply pleasantly surprised. Chi Qiu was as good-looking as many stars in the circle, but it was a pity Chi Qiu couldn’t see.

On the way back, Bai Yan said with regret: “It seems that when God opens a door for you, he will close another window. Xiao Qiu, whom auntie remembers, is too good-looking. If he is not blind, it would be no problem for him to make his debut right away ”

Luo Xu, who was driving with his hand on the steering wheel, stopped at a red light and teased him with great interest, “What is the window that God has closed on you?”

Bai Yan slapped his chest and said seriously, “It’s my acting skills!”

Luo Xu helped him by adding, “And your singing and dancing?”

“…” Bai Yan glared at him in exasperation. “I’ll give you a chance, within three seconds, tell me one of my advantages.”

Luo Xu found it simple; he was able to say two in one breath without using his brain: “Clear understanding of his shortcomings, as well as first-class retreating speed.”

Three seconds, exactly three seconds.

Bai Yan was close to gnawing on Luo Xu’s arm. He said with anger: “Focus on driving your car, stop talking.”

Luo Yun in the back seat was a little tipsy tonight. She happily watched the two teasing each other and interjected, “You guys, it’s so nice to be young, love is so sweet.”

Bai Yan liked to hear this, turned around and flattered her, professionally stepping on one to hold another one: “Aunt you speak so well, it’s a pity Luo Xu doesn’t have such a mouth.”

Luo Xu: “…”

T/N: Luo Xu and Bai Yan got their own book. It’s YDXCH (the author) first book, called ‘Legal Relationship’ but I haven’t read Legal Love yet because I have another book from YDXCH on my to-read list. LR only has 35 chapters and is free to read, except for the two extras. So if you wanna read about LX and BY, here it is.
