Chapter 1 Family and Friendship

Have you thought about your 30s?

What kind of weather will it be, and what kind of occasion will it be.

The 15-year-old Lu Chen has imagined countless times that he has a hot dream on his left shoulder, a girl he loves in his right hand, and the eyes of his brothers walking all the way behind him.

Fifteen years have passed, and it seems that all the wishes the boy made at the beginning have come true, but only he knows that some things are still different from what he imagined.

"Come on, let's toast Mr. Lu again!"

"I wish Mr. Lu a great future, and go straight to the sky!"

"I wish Mr. Lu's family harmony and prosperity!"

"I wish the company a successful IPO this year! My eldest brother and sister-in-law will have a baby early!"

I have to say, God is really unfair.

For ordinary people, those big and gorgeous words often only contain wishes that cannot be realized, but for people like Lu Chen, they are just statements of indisputable facts.

He accepted everyone's congratulations with tea instead of wine, and the assistant came forward knowingly with just one look:
"Mr. Lu, the meal is ready. Shall I take you to the airport now?"

"Need not."

Lu Chen waved his hand:

"Ten minutes' drive. You settle them all, especially the drunk ones."

Sitting in the Land Rover while everyone was watching him off, Lu Chen leaned his head back on the leather seat, and took out his phone that he had checked no less than 200 times.

The chat interface between him and Gu Churan was still stuck on a long message he sent two hours ago. If he scrolled up, he was asking Gu Churan what he wanted to eat tonight and whether yesterday's work went well.

This situation can even be traced back to half a month ago, the day when Gu Churan just went to Zhenhai for a business trip. Since then, no matter what he said, the other party was always silent.

"call."

Lu Chen let out a long breath.

The reason why he asked his assistant to choose the place next to the airport for this celebration banquet was so that he could receive Gu Churan who was returning from a business trip to Shanghai as soon as possible.

Although the flight information was obtained through her mother-in-law, she probably still had her own feelings in mind when she chose to go home on her 30th birthday.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen turned on the car stereo, put on his seat belt, and started the engine.

There are always many cars on the elevated road leading to the airport, even witnessing more reluctance than the wedding hall.

Just as he was about to drive into the ramp, the screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up, and his eyes fell involuntarily on the dialog box with Gu Churan, where two white lines appeared for a long time, but it seemed like an invisible hand, choking him instantly. his throat.

"Lu Chen, let's get a divorce."

"All along, I seem to have only family affection and friendship for you."

He didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment, he only saw a burst of dazzling white light accompanied by a loud bang.

In a trance, the past was unfolding in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern, his eyesight gradually became slack, his consciousness became blank, and finally he fell into eternal sleep.

Strong bloody smell, pungent disinfectant.
This was already the best result that Lu Chen could think of, but when he opened his eyes, it seemed that everything had never happened.

There was a clear and somewhat noisy sound of water in his ears, and the unique aroma of entertainment venues filled his nostrils. When he raised his head suddenly, the face in the mirror was familiar but unfamiliar.

Except for the eyes, everything still looks so immature.

"Old Lu? Old Lu!"

A deep and deep voice sounded, and Lu Chen turned his head, finally coming back to his senses.

The face in front of him is all too familiar, it is his best brother who has spanned two decades, and he is also a well-deserved best man at his wedding with Gu Churan.

It's just a pity that an accident took away his life, and he died in the third year after the wedding, staying forever in that rainy day three years ago.

"Hanbo?"

Lu Chen spoke hesitantly.

Li Hanbo in front of him is wearing an orange polo shirt, and under the black-framed glasses, he is not as decisive as when he was riding in the mall with him a few years later, and he still has the clarity and stupidity unique to college students.

Yes, the familiar scene in front of me, the brother who passed away suddenly, and even the slightly thick bangs on my forehead all confirm this bizarre fact:
He was reborn.

"Why are you looking at me like that..."

At this moment, Li Hanbo was obviously unable to predict what would happen in the future, and felt that Lu Chen's "affectionate" gaze sent chills down his spine.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to want to step forward to give him a hug, he took a few steps back, and at the same time unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth:
"Well, although Gu Churan has rejected you 59 times, and although our relationship is good enough to wear a pair of pants, there are some things that buddies really can't do, why don't you give me some more time?"

"..."

The original sad atmosphere was instantly broken, Lu Chen stood with his arms folded, his eyes looked from top to bottom at Li Hanbo, who was about 0.5 times wider than himself.

The strong winds and waves he had seen in his previous life determined that even in the face of such unimaginable things, he would not be at a loss.

Now that he's here, he won't watch those tragedies repeat themselves.

"Wow, it's already 11:59!"

Li Hanbo glanced at his watch and slapped his head, but he didn't care about the "men's defense", he pulled Lu Chen and was about to step out of the bathroom.

In these 3 minutes, Lu Chen had already clarified everything in front of him.

This is his 20th birthday, and it is also the day of Gu Churan's 20th birthday.

On this day, he brought along Li Hanbo and other friends and brothers to prepare for the 60th confession to Gu Churan on KTV.

The result was naturally the same as the previous 59 times. He was rejected in public, but this did not become a turning point in this relationship. On the contrary, he devoted himself to Gu Churan for the next five years, and the next five years.

From the age of 15, ten years of pursuit, five years of marriage, he didn't realize until the day before his death that family and friendship can never be transformed into love.

"These 15 years of love and time have been paid by mistake after all."

Lu Chen laughed at himself.

With God's perspective, he naturally knew the next step of the plot, the rose that was not taken, and the candle that was blown out with her as a friend.

Although men's intuition is not as accurate as women's, they are often frighteningly rational.

So in many cases, it is not that the result is unexpected, but it is just that we still have expectations, so we are deceiving ourselves.

"The sky is lingling, the earth is lingling, the baby cake will appear soon..."

Unaware of Lu Chen's change in attitude, Li Hanbo struggled to squat in front of the refrigerator at the bar.

The friendship between men is like this, no matter how much they joke or even hit you, they will never be absent from every important moment in life.

Just like now, because he missed the best confession time on the hour, he seemed even more eager than Lu Chen.

On the contrary, Lu Chen, the client himself, only relied on his past memories to take out the carefully prepared roses from under the bar, and then threw them into the trash can beside him with his superb shooting skills.

Clapping, turning around, the action was completed in one go.
