Chapter 77 The 1st Kiss
In Lu Wannian’s old house in Kyoto, the dim light shines through the thick curtains into the warm little house.
Su Qing and Lu Xingchen sat side by side beside Lu Wannian's bed, their eyes full of worry and expectation, as if it was a bright light illuminating their hearts.
"Uncle Lu, look, these are old photos of your parents." Su Qing carefully opened an old photo album, her fingertips lightly touching the yellowed memories.
Each photo carries the traces of time and records Lu Wannian’s youth and glory.
Lu Xingchen took the photo album and his eyes fell on the intimate picture of his parents.
A trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, as if he saw his father's heroic figure in the past. He looked at Su Qing again, and saw a firm light flashing in her eyes, as if telling him that no matter how difficult the future was, she would be by his side.
Suddenly, Su Qing boldly approached Lu Xingchen, playfully kissed him on the cheek, then looked straight at him, testing his reaction.
Her movements were gentle yet firm, as if telling him that her feelings were sincere and deep.
Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, his heart beating like a drum. He still maintained the posture when he was being kissed. His expression looked stiff, and his ears gradually turned red.
There were waves of emotion in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it easily.
"Su Qing, I..." Lu Xingchen rolled his throat, trying to express his emotions, but was interrupted by Su Qing's chuckle.
"Look at the photo, mom is smiling so happily, and the intimacy they show makes me want to kiss you." Su Qing pursed her lips, her voice soft and playful, her eyes full of doting.
Lu Xingchen exhaled, and the tension in his heart gradually dissipated. He was afraid that Su Qing would rush over and continue to kiss him rudely, so he suddenly stood up, looking embarrassed, "I want to go to the bathroom."
After saying that, he ran away without looking back, as if Su Qing would eat him alive if he was a second slower.
For a long time, Lu Xingchen's expression and movements were not natural, which always made people feel weird.
He just went to the toilet, and after that he poured cold water on his noodles, as if he wanted to calm himself down as quickly as possible.
Through the time they have been together in Kyoto, Lu Xingchen clearly feels Su Qing's love, but he is rigorous and dull, while Su Qing is proactive and quick in doing things.
Seeing his frightened and embarrassed look, Su Qing felt that he was extremely cute. She even liked the way he looked frightened and at a loss.
The next day, as the morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing decided to follow the clues in the photo album, hoping to find a way to cure Lu Wannian's amnesia.
They embarked on a journey to find the truth, and every step was full of hope and challenges.
At the same time, Lu Xinghui organized a luxurious dinner at home and invited Su Qing to attend.
Lu Xingchen couldn't help feeling jealous when he saw Su Qing and Xinghui being so intimate. He tried hard to suppress his emotions but couldn't completely conceal the uneasiness in his heart.
"Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?" Su Qing noticed Lu Xingchen's displeasure and asked with concern.
"It's nothing. Look, Xiaohui has prepared a big meal for you." Lu Xingchen forced a smile, trying to hide his mood, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile.
Su Qing gently held Lu Xingchen's hand and said softly: "Uncle prepared this for everyone. I have been in Kyoto for so long, and I haven't had a good meal yet."
Lu Xingchen looked at Su Qing, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He smiled and responded: "Well, then let's eat as much as we want tonight."
At the dinner, Lu Xinghui kept picking up food for Su Qing. Lu Xingchen saw it and became increasingly unhappy.
He suddenly thought of Ru Mengyun, the third party who had interfered with their relationship. Whenever Ru Mengyun appeared, Su Qing would always be sad for a long time. It was at this moment that Lu Xingchen deeply felt that sour feeling.
In the next few days, Lu Xinghui was going to work, and Lu Xingchen and Su Qing decided to go to the place where Lu Wannian used to work and ask his former colleagues and insiders to try to learn more about the project.
This is a road full of unknowns and challenges, but they are willing to go on bravely in order to help their father recover his memory as soon as possible.
In the process of searching for clues, they encountered many difficulties and obstacles.
They shuttled through the dilapidated corridors, and every step seemed to be stepping on the long river of history, feeling the sedimentation of years.
"Uncle Lu, look at this." Su Qing suddenly stopped and pointed to a faded poster on the wall.
The poster shows a young Lu Wannian with a firm gaze and a proud expression, as if he is telling of his glorious years.
Lu Xingchen walked over and looked at the contents on the poster carefully.
The young Lu Wannian on the poster is the father he admires in his heart.
He said with emotion: "Yes, this is what my father looked like when he was young. He must have been the pride of this city at that time."
They continued on their journey and finally found a key figure in the project that year.
He is an old man. Although he is very old, he is in good spirits and his eyes reveal wisdom and depth.
"Young men, what do you want from me?" The old man sat on a rattan chair, scanning them with sharp eyes, as if he could see through their thoughts at a glance.
Su Qing replied politely: "Old man, we want to know something about Lu Wannian. The project he was involved in, right?"
The old man pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Lu Wannian, he is an extraordinary man. But he has a secret, and this secret may change your opinion of him."
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing looked at each other, and a hint of nervousness flashed in their eyes. They knew that this secret might reveal another side of Lu Wannian, and it might also change their fate.
"What secret?" Lu Xingchen asked. Although his voice was light, it was full of determination.
The old man took a deep breath and said, "Lu Wannian was once involved in a secret project. This project..."
The old man's words echoed in the air, stirring up storms in Lu Xingchen and Su Qing's hearts.
They realize that this secret may change their view of Lu Wannian and may even change their fate.
During her time in Kyoto, Su Qing discovered the business innovation and dynamics of this city.
As she walked along the streets, looking at the bustling crowds and busy markets, she had bolder ideas in her mind.
“Xingchen, look at these streets and markets, they are full of life and vigor.” Su Qing pointed out the window with a gleam in her eyes.
She knew that this place not only held Lu Wannian’s past, but also held their hope for the future.
Lu Xingchen looked at the scene outside the window, his heart filled with hope.
He knew that they not only had to find a way to cure Lu Wannian, but also to find a new direction for the development of Red Star Village.
As night fell, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing sat beside Lu Wannian's bed. They looked at Lu Wannian's peaceful sleeping face, their hearts filled with determination and expectation.
They knew that no matter what Lu Wannian's secret was, they would face it together.
