can you coax me

Lu Jun first taught Ji Cheng how to wrap the book, and went to the study to get the book and asked Ji Cheng to do it.

One of them is sitting on the carpet, the other is squatting, surrounded by a small coffee table, ignoring the age and height of the two, they are like two little babies who pile up blocks in the living room before meals.

He Shaoyuan took the dishes to the restaurant, glanced at them through the window, and said with a smile, "Children, it's time to eat."

Lu Jun responded first, watched Ji Cheng pack his schoolbag, praised him, threw the messy waste paper on the table into the trash can, and took Ji Cheng to wash his hands and eat.

The two sat down at the dining table, and He Shaoyuan and Li Chen brought up the meals one after another.

Looking at a table of delicious dishes, Ji Cheng suddenly remembered that he had carefully searched the recipes on Baidu today, and was going to cook for Lu Jun to eat first...

Why did he cut a vegetable at the end?

However, if he did it, it would indeed be far worse than what his uncles did. Ji Cheng was a little discouraged, and suddenly he was glad that his uncles had come, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself in front of Lu Junxian.

"Let's eat, Xiao Ji, don't be restrained, there are no rules for eating in our family."

Ji Cheng nodded, seeing that they were all moving their chopsticks, he picked up the chopsticks to eat.

There are indeed no strict rules at the dinner table, thanks to the talkative uncle, the chatter is non-stop.Ji Cheng thinks it's pretty good, as long as he doesn't talk to him, he can listen and eat in silence, and he won't be so nervous.

"Did you go to live with the crew this time?" asked the uncle.

"Well, it hasn't been long, and the filming can be finished in one and a half months." Lu Jun answered first.

"Not long after a month and a half? Next week, your Uncle Li and I are going on a trip again. We planned to take you there, but your mother is always afraid that you will be stupid."

Lu Junxian sighed helplessly, "I don't stay at home... don't I still have a job here? I also go to collect folk songs occasionally."

"There is a kind of house that makes your mother think you are a house." Uncle concluded.

Hearing this, Li Chen smiled lightly and nodded in agreement.

Lu Junxian: ...

Turning his head to look at Ji Cheng, Ji Cheng was eating very seriously and didn't seem to pay attention to them.

A topic seemed to end just like that, He Shaoyuan took advantage of Lu Jun's first look at Ji Cheng, and winked at Li Chen who was beside him.

Li Chen received the signal, cleared his throat, and asked, "How are you and Ziqun?"

Lu Junxian, who had already seen his uncle and aunt winking: ...

Every time they teamed up with each other, sang together and dug out news about him, it was really overwhelming.

"separated."

Lu Jun answered calmly, originally planning to tell his uncles sometime, but it's not really a secret.

He Shaoyuan and Li Chen glanced at each other secretly, and were not particularly surprised, probably because they had weird psychological preparations when they saw Ji Cheng today.

"He bullied you?" Uncle asked with a slight frown.

"No, it's just that the concept of life doesn't match, and they can't live on, so they broke up peacefully."

Talking about Lu Junxian's breakup, Ji Cheng, who had been burying his head in his meal seriously, finally secretly raised his head, glanced at Lu Junxian, saw that he was not unhappy, and silently lowered his head to pick up the meal.

He Shaoyuan saw it with sharp eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Oh, it's good to be fine, the relationship can't be forced, a peaceful breakup is a very mature decision, and it's not bad to find a young one in the future."

Lu Junxian: ...

Can't escape the topic of "find a young man" today?

Picking up a piece of pork and putting it in his uncle's bowl, Lu Jun said helplessly, "Please eat well!"

He Shaoyuan agreed, and while eating the pork his nephew picked up, he winked at Li Chen, signaling that it was his turn.

Lu Jun was desperate when he first saw them winking, and the repeated bombings really couldn't stand it.

Li Chen looked at Lu Junxian's desperate look, smiled softly, ignored He Shaoyuan, ate in silence, and stopped asking.

Just when everyone finally quieted down, Ji Cheng's elderly machine's high-volume ringtone suddenly rang through the restaurant.

"56 ethnic groups, 56 branches and flowers, 56 ethnic groups, brothers and sisters are one family..."

Except for the experienced Lu Junxian who reacted better, both He Shaoyuan and Li Chen were startled by the sudden sharp ringtone, and the meat that uncle was about to deliver fell back into the bowl.

Ji Cheng took out the elderly phone from his pocket, silently pressed the bell mouth to try to lower the ringtone, and looked at them with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you can take it." Lu Junxian said with a soft smile.

Ji Cheng nodded, got up and went to the side to pick him up.

Lu Jun watched him go away first, only to hear Ji Cheng say "um" and "ok" very coldly.

"This young man has a lot of personality." He Shaoyuan looked at Ji Cheng's elderly phone and sighed.

Lu Junxian: ...

Ji Cheng hung up within a minute after answering the phone, and Lu Junxian didn't tell his uncle and them about Ji Cheng's financial situation.

After answering the phone, Ji Cheng sat back in his seat and continued to eat seriously without speaking.

He Shaoyuan was a little curious about him, but seeing that he was still not very enthusiastic, and his nephew didn't want him to ask more questions, so he didn't say much in the end.

Adhering to the principle of Ji Cheng not to waste, this dinner, Lu Jun first greeted everyone to finish the whole table.Fortunately, there are many people, and my uncle's cooking skills are also very good, so it is not difficult to solve it.

After the meal, everyone helped clean up the table and put all the dishes in the dishwasher.

After tidying up, everyone moved to the living room, ready to chat for a while, but Ji Cheng proposed to go home.

Lu Jun first saw that he didn't take the suitcase, and expected that he would come back later, so he got up and grabbed him.

"How do you get back?"

"Bus." Ji Cheng said as he took out a coin from his pocket.

Lu Jun first looked at the coin in his hand, and reached out to take it, "It takes more than an hour for the bus to go to your house. If you come back, you have missed the last bus, right? I'll take you there."

Ji Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his ears, which had been calm all night, began to turn red again.

"You don't like driving when you're full. I'll just take a taxi and come back later."

Unexpectedly, he still remembered this, Lu Jun chuckled first, "I didn't eat enough today."

Taking a taxi is a good choice, but the No. [-] waterside pavilion is a bit far from Ji Cheng's house, and the taxi fare is quite high. Lu Junxian doesn't care about it, but Ji Cheng is in debt and usually saves money. He is really afraid that Ji Cheng will I was reluctant to take a taxi, and came up with some dumbfounding way to get back.

like walking...

Or shared bikes...

Or the one from Xiaomo on the side of the road...

Thinking of Ji Cheng squatting at the door of his house to blow the cold wind foolishly in the morning, Lu Jun felt that it might not be impossible.

It's too cold, and it's late at night, why not use a car?

In fact, Ji Cheng was also very willing to be alone in a small car with Lu Jun first, but he turned his head and looked at the uncles sitting on the sofa watching TV with some embarrassment.

He Shaoyuan patted Li Chen, cleared his throat and stood up when Ji Cheng looked over.

"Hey, let's go back first. It's so cold at night, you should send him off first, after all, Xiao Ji saved you."

He Shaoyuan pulled Li Chen and waved, and went to the door to change his shoes.

Lu Jun felt a little sorry for not being able to accompany his uncles well, and walked over to see them off.

After changing the shoes, He Shaoyuan patted his nephew and joked in a low voice: "You are a very honest child, and your young partner is very good. You see, uncle and your uncle Li are still having sex."

Lu Junxian: ...

"Say less." Li Chen, who had already opened the door and was about to go out, couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his long arms, and fished him out.

Disrespecting the old and teaching bad children and grandchildren.

I have long been used to my uncle showing off his youthful "Old Gong", Lu Jun didn't pay much attention to his words, took the car keys, called Shang Jicheng, and sent him home.

The car drove out of No. [-] Water Pavilion, and Ji Cheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took out a bank card from his pocket and said, "I want to get some money first."

Lu Jun glanced at his bank card first, nodded, "I will pass the ATM."

As he said that, Lu Junxian frowned slightly again. Ji Cheng said that he had no parents anymore, so he was asking for money at this point, a debt collector?

But this is a private matter, and Lu Junxian is not easy to ask.

When we arrived at the ATM, Lu Jun followed him in to prevent Ji Cheng from withdrawing too much money and meeting someone with a conspiracy.

Ji Cheng walked into the door of the cubicle, and seeing Lu Jun coming first, he opened the door and invited him in together.

Lu Jun was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the child was too defensive, he waved his hands helplessly, didn't go in, and waited for him at the door.

After a while, Ji Cheng took out the money and came out.

Originally, I thought there would be a large stack. After all, it is impossible to collect debts at night, and it is impossible to only need a little money.

However, Ji Cheng held such a thin stack in his hand, and Lu Jun first visually estimated that it was no more than three thousand.

Ji Cheng came out, still counting, counting very strenuously, muttering one, two, three, four.

Lu Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he took the money and didn't put it away properly, counted at the door, and dragged him helplessly back to the car.

Sitting back in the car, the interrupted Ji Cheng tidied up the money and started counting from the beginning.

Lu Jun sat in the driver's seat and waited for him to count. After counting, it was three thousand, no more, no less.

"Not too much?"

Ji Cheng nodded, and Lu Jun first went over to help him put on his seat belt, and continued driving.

After driving for a while, Ji Cheng suddenly asked: "Crew, do you have a meal?"

"Food and lodging are included, don't worry."

Hearing this, Ji Cheng hummed, reached out his hand to feel in his pocket, took out a small stack of money, took out the outermost few red ones, and stuffed the other change back into his pocket.

Lu Junxian could see it out of the corner of his eye, three cards, added to the thirty cards just now.

This big night, how could it make people look so sad...

"How much did I ask you? Is your card gone?" Lu Jun couldn't stand it anymore, and asked softly.

"The cards are all taken out."

Ji Cheng said frankly, and gave Lu Junxian another critical blow, which made him feel even more sad.

"A debt collector? How much do you still owe?"

Ji Cheng nodded, shook his head again, thought for a while, and said: "My little uncle, my grandma's [-]th birthday will be held in a few days. He knew that I found a job, and asked me if I could pay back some more."

"You owe money to your aunt's family? Do you owe anyone else?"

"It's gone. My mother was sick. My father borrowed money everywhere and owed a lot. Later, my mother disappeared. My father made money day and night to pay back the money. There was an accident. The compensation for the accident paid off all the debts outside. Now there is nothing left. My aunt’s. My uncle wants me to live in their house directly, sell the house, and return the money to them. I refuse. I can work hard to earn the money and return it. It is my home and cannot be sold.”

Ji Cheng said lightly, but kept counting the 33 bills upside down in his hands, as if he was hiding his inner emotions.

It was the first time Lu Junxian heard Ji Cheng say so much, it sounded like a bland and emotionless narration, but it made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Well, we don't sell it." Lu Junxian said softly, and reached out to give Ji Cheng a gentle pat on the head.

That is not a house, it is Ji Cheng's only remaining home, the only remaining place where he remembers his parents.

Ji Cheng's head felt heavy, but his heart lightened, his fingers trembled slightly, and his ears started to turn red.

"How much do you owe them now?"

"11, I will pay back a little every month when I work part-time."

For a senior, this number is indeed not small. Lu Junxian is more and more able to understand why Ji Cheng is so frugal and why he finds so many part-time jobs.

"What about your school's tuition? How much can you earn by working part-time?"

"There are poverty subsidies for tuition fees, and I also have scholarships, both in the country's schools."

Lu Jun heard the words first, turned his head to look at him, gave him a pat again, and said with a smile: "That's great! He's still a top student!"

After being praised, the depression in his heart disappeared, Ji Cheng's ears were red, his hand holding the money trembled slightly, he looked out of the car reservedly, and remained calm.

Lu Jun first saw that he had turned into that Ji Cheng with red ears and shaking hands, smiled, and pulled over to stop the car.

"Give me the bank card."

Ji Cheng was taken aback for a moment, but obediently handed over the card.

Lu Jun took out his mobile phone first, and transferred 11 from his own card to Ji Cheng's card.

Ji Cheng was startled, frowned, took the card back, and said indifferently: "I don't want your money."

Lu Jun laughed lightly, "Why is it my money? I just transferred a sum of film remuneration to you in advance. You can pay off the debt first before you can film with me with peace of mind, right?"

Ji Cheng looked at his bank card, then at Lu Junxian, and belatedly remembered that he was about to have 20 people coming, although the money hadn't come yet.

"I haven't shot yet."

"You signed a contract with me, can you still not shoot?"

"will not."

"Then it's over, the money will be yours sooner or later."

This seems to be the reason, but Ji Cheng also knew that Lu Junxian was really helping him, and nodded while holding the bank card, feeling inexplicably sweet in his heart.

"You're really nice, just as I thought." Ji Cheng looked out the window and muttered.

Lu Jun didn't hear it clearly, restarted the car, and said with a smile: "You just give the card, and then get a new card that belongs to you, you will have a new record of life, and time will favor you."

"Ah."

Ji Cheng agreed, and he remembered that during his most helpless years, he always opened the book written by Lu Jun first, and the book would tell him: Time always favors human beings, taking away pain and leaving hope, There is no real hopelessness in life.

The book didn't lie to him.

Lu Junxian didn't lie to him either.

The author has something to say:

"small theater"

Ji Cheng: Why is he so nice.

Lu Junxian: Who?

Ji Cheng: Angel.
