Chapter 77
Before meeting Chen Ting, Lian Jue's stable relationship was only the adopted son after the adoption agreement was implemented.
He used to know how to get along with Kang Tong, and now he doesn't know how to get along with Chen Ting.
In his cognition, the way he treated his family was relatively practical, so he also provided Chen Tingwei and Kangtong with stable and generous living conditions to the greatest extent possible according to his own cognition.
Apart from that, he had no idea about maintaining intimacy.
Although he and Chen Tingwei tacitly kept silent about the verbal contract at that time, Lian Jue still spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the two more clearer relationships with each other. Finally, he decided to use the simplest and most innovative method to find a suitable opportunity to exchange him for a new and suitable wedding ring.
But it is obvious that this most suitable opportunity has been missed.
The right time he originally included in the consideration was the due date of Chen Ting less than two and a half months later. He checked many famous jewelry custom brands across the country and even abroad, and had a preliminary choice and concept of diamond ring design in his mind, but it has not yet been implemented.
Unconscious self-blame and guilt drive Lian Jue to break all plans and ideas.
Perhaps he should look through the calendar to find a more serious and important holiday or anniversary, and should pay more attention to this ring that has been planned for a long time, but he is not very patient now to continue waiting.
Chen Ting's words "I won't go in the future" made him feel like he was stuck in his throat. After confirming the road conditions from the city to the airport, Lian Jue spared half an hour for himself and asked the driver to drive to a luxury jewelry brand store nearby.
In just half an hour, Lian Jue struggled to choose a style that Shen Ting might not like.
Lian Jue had never thought of sending the photos to Chen Ting and choosing them himself, but Lin Chen seemed helpless about his idea. He used a tone that he could not use normally and was almost taught, and said firmly: "Just choose yourself, Mr. Chen will definitely like it."
Lian Jue even wanted to buy several hesitant rings at the same time for a moment, but Lin Chen held them down with laughter and cry, explaining: "Mr. Lian, I mean, you just choose one, after all, there are too many wedding rings and things like this... that are not suitable."
In the end, he followed Lin Chen's suggestion and chose the most expensive diamond ring to be purchased, but was stunned when asked about the size.
Because the plan was temporary, Lian Jue had not had time to measure Chen Tingwei's finger circumference, and was worried that his prediction would make it awkward situation like the first wedding ring. Lian Jue thought for a moment and asked Lin Chen to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy him a waterproof children's bandage.
Lin Chen thought he had heard it wrong and asked in a daze: "Ah?"
Lian Jue had no mood or energy to explain to him, and told him to hurry up and not delay taking off.
Then Lin Chen hurried to find the band-aid he wanted.
On the Chinese Valentine's Day, Chen Ting silently picked up the bunch of roses that he threw away. When he was tidying up the branches, his hand was cut by a thorn. Lian Jue noticed it when he hugged Chen Ting at night, so he helped him change the band-aid on his fingertips.
Lian Jue remembered that he searched at home for a long time that day, but in the end he only found the children's waterproof band sticker prepared for Kang Tong. The band sticker in his memory was very small, and he only wrapped it around for a while, and the parts that were glued to each other were touching together.
Chen Tingwei's hands were fair and slender, with slender and symmetrical fingers, and there were no very abrupt joints. Therefore, Lian Jue speculated that the gap between his fingertips and the roots was not big. Of course, he did not hope to fully estimate Chen Tingwei's finger circumference, but at least he could give him the closest range to the right one.
From getting the band sticker to simulated sizes and calculating the size that Chen Ting could not wear, it was wasted a lot of time. After leaving the jewelry store, in order to avoid missing the plane, the driver drove the car very fast along the way to the airport.
Lian Jue put the square ring box into his pocket and looked at the rapidly flowing street scene outside the window without saying a word.
Lin Chen may have guessed that he knew nothing about coaxing people, and gave him many feasible ideas along the way. Lian Jue did not show his concentration on listening, but did not have the idea of interrupting.
When the car was parked in the terminal, there was not much time left before boarding. Lian Jue did not ask Lin Chen and the driver to accompany him, and took his suitcase and walked towards the terminal alone.
Lian Jue rarely has such a confused and confused thinking. From the moment he got the ring, his dull mood suddenly split out many branches, and countless emotions were drawn, which was not entirely negative.
There was a hurried feeling that he was about to give a late gift, there was expectation that Chen Ting had not received the gift, and even a little out of place.
The ring box in his pocket was very light, and it seemed to be in his footsteps heavy in his complex thoughts, making him anxious every step.
In the end, Lian Jue couldn't help it. On the short way to the boarding gate, he took out his cell phone and told Chen Tingwei to pass.
The prompt tone of waiting for the call increased his anxiety. Lian Jue had never been so eager to have anyone answered the phone as soon as possible. He heard the boarding prompt sounding on the airport radio, but his steps gradually slowed down in the orderly "beep" sound.
The moment Shen Ting didn't answer the phone, Lian Jue thought, if the flight could not be reached, it would be fine.
Chen Tingwei said softly on the other end of the phone: "Hey?"
Lian Jue stopped.
Lian Jue asked him "Have you set out?" while quickly sorting out what he wanted to say in his mind.
"It's on the road." Chen Ting paused without answering, as if explaining to him why he answered the phone so late. "The phone just fell under the seat, and the driver stopped by the roadside to help me get it."
Lian Jue obviously no longer cared about this irrelevant issue, but he still patiently listened to Chen Tingwei's words, and then after Shen Tingwei stopped, he suddenly spoke: "I don't know that yesterday was your birthday."
He guessed that Chen Ting could not have been stunned because there was no sound on the phone for a long time.
After a short pause, Chen Tingwei's voice slowly reached his ears: "It's okay," I don't know if it was because of a cold or something, my voice was a little hoarse than before, but my tone was very gentle, and I comforted him, "I forgot if you don't say it... I didn't celebrate my birthday too much, don't take it to heart..."
Lian Jue didn't want to hear his silly tone, and might not be able to bear to listen to him, so he interrupted him impolitely.
Chen Ting didn't hear what he had heard in his dream the next second, and he thought it did not belong to Lian Jue.
Lian Jue used an extremely gentle tone, very low and concise to Chen Tingwei, perhaps it was the first time in his life that he admitted his mistake: "It's me that's not good."
Chen Ting seemed to be at a loss. After the following sentence "I'm sorry" in Lian Jue, he dragged the long sound "ah" in an unknown way, and fell completely silent.
Lian Jue is not good at dealing with the responses after the apology, and he was speechless even when Shen Ting was not silent.
The airport radio kept urging the boarding time. Lian Jue glanced at the watch and thought it was still too late and he had not resumed his pace.
It was not until the airport radio rang again in a quiet call that Chen Tingwei spoke again and asked him: "Is it time?"
Lian Jue glanced at the boarding prompt on the airport screen and said "Yes".
"You go quickly." Chen Tingwei urged him warmly on the phone.
While Lian Jue said "I know", he heard Chen Tingwei say in a low voice with uncertainty: "... Otherwise, I should have missed it again."
Lian Jue paused, and Chen Tingwei said goodbye to him.
He walked into the gate with very little time left in boarding time.
While waiting for the takeoff, he suddenly realized that something very important seemed to be missing from the call just now.
Lian Jue took out his phone again, ignored the burning gaze of the flight attendant serving the first class cabin, and found Chen Tingwei's WeChat, hoping to make up for the missing blessings.
But when he saw the [Entering...] in the dialog box, his hand that was about to type stopped, changed his mind temporarily, and decided to see what Chen Ting didn't want to say first.
Chen Tingwei's [Entering...] stopped after a few seconds.
The flight attendant reminded him twice that it was time to turn off the phone, but Lian Jue still did not receive the news about Chen Tingwei as he wished.
He was a little confused, and couldn't help but recall the unclear words of Chen Tingwei before the phone just hung up, and guessed that Chen Tingwei had entered something to scold him, and finally decided not to argue with him out of his own cultivation.
Chen Tingwei is not a person without temper. He still remembers the last time he provoked Chen Tingwei and was scolded by him in circles.
So in the flight attendant's eyes, Lian Jue had to give up waiting, hurriedly sent a happy birthday and turned off his phone.
A prompt broadcast of about to take off sounded in the cabin.
Lian Jue looked out from the narrow machine window to the staff carrying luggage on the apron outside the window. His hands put them back in his pockets were rubbing the velvet ring box involuntarily, while recalling the words Lin Chen provided in the car to coax people.
Lian Jue believes that it is really hard to choose between "I will never forget it again" and "I will spend every birthday in the future with you".
The difficulty of making a decision in the two sentences was no less than not choosing a new diamond ring for Chen Ting. After a little thought, he suddenly realized that these two sentences were not in conflict. He simply adopted them together.
He knew that Chen Tingwei was actually easy to coax, but Lian Jue didn't want to see Chen Tingwei red eyes and said it was okay. He wanted to give him all these insignificant guarantees that Chen Tingwei would be happy.
A suppressed noise suddenly sounded outside the compartment of the first class cabin, and then the cabin door beside him was opened hastily from the outside.
A staff member rushed in in a hurry, perhaps because of running, and his voice seemed unstable: "Are you Mr. Lian Jue?"
Lian Jue's eyelids suddenly thumped, and at this moment, a strong and unknown premonition arose in his heart. He asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Lian," the staff's voice was filled with a breath that had not yet been relieved, "A gentleman named Lin... said at the boarding gate that there is something very important to come to you and you need to get off the plane immediately."
While leaving the cabin and returning to the boarding gate, Lian Jue seemed to have a brief memory loss, and his mind was blank. It was not until he saw Lin Chen, who was stopped by several staff members at the boarding gate, that his blocked senses came back to life in an instant.
Lian Jue's heavy and rapid breathing and the sound of his heart beating overshadowed the staff's helpless obstacles, and also overshadowed Lin Chen's anxious voice at the moment when he saw him.
But at this moment, he reacted extremely quickly and understood Lin Chen's lips.
Something happened to Mr. Chen.
