Re-engraving the Spring

Lu Ming looked around and didn’t see Elder Lu.

“Grandpa just got a little tired, Dad took him to the lounge, you’ll have to greet him in a while.” Lu Yinliang took two glasses of champagne from the waiter’s tray and handed them to Lu Ming and Chi Qiu.

Lu Ming took a glass and blocked one for Chi Qiu: “He doesn’t drink.” He turned around and asked the waiter who passed by for a glass of juice and put it in Chi Qiu’s hand.

Lu Yinliang said: “Ge, you are really protective of Qiu ge.”

Lu Ming raised his glass and didn’t answer.

As today’s birthday star, Lu Yinliang had a good temper.
He saw that Lu Ming did not want to have too much communication with him, so after saying a few words briefly, he walked away on the excuse that there were other guests to entertain.

Before walking away, Lu Yinliang, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, smiled at Chi Qiu and said, “Qiu ge, say hello to Xiao Xia for me when you have a chance.”

Chi Qiu almost choked on the orange juice, covering his mouth and coughing.

Lu Ming put down the champagne in his hand to take the orange juice in Chi Qiu’s hand and patted his back: “Lu Yinliang has never had much of a brain in this area, don’t care.”

Chi Qiu smiled, feeling guilty.

Not far away, there were several relatives who rarely had the chance to see Lu Ming nod their heads slightly after seeing Lu Ming.

Compared to Lu Yinliang, who had just started his business, several elders preferred Lu Ming, who had put his grandfather’s family’s company in order within six months

Lu Ming, as a junior, might be negligent in his manners if he did not go over to greet them at this moment.

“I’ll be away for a while.” Lu Ming picked up a small cupcake from the dining table behind him, put it in Chi Qiu’s hand, and led him to the seating area, “Wait for me here.”

“Okay.” Chi Qiu touched the cupcake in his hand and felt the cream on the top.

He lowered his head and took a bite.
The cream rubbed against the tip of his nose.

“…”

So sweet!

It seems that Lu Ming chose the sweetest-looking cupcake for him…

A passing waiter noticed that Chi Qiu’s face was stained with cream and carefully went up to him and handed him some paper towels.

Chi Qiu thanked the waiter, and lowered his head to wipe the tip of his nose that was stained by the cream.

Unbeknownst to him, aside, Zhen Zhen was chatting with her cousin, smiling as she walked towards the area.

A few steps away, Zhen Zhen caught a glimpse of Chi Qiu.
As the mother of the birthday star, she was dressed particularly dazzlingly today.

She lifted the corner of her mouth in exasperation, and a pair of high heels stopped suddenly, not taking another step forward.

Zhen Zhen did not intend to have a conflict with Chi Qiu and Lu Ming on this occasion today.

After all, to outsiders, she was now the official wife of the Lu family.
She had to put on a gentle and generous attitude in front of the guests.

The most important thing was that Elder Lu also promised them a few days ago——

As long as they didn’t provoke Lu Ming and Chi Qiu, he would make arrangements for Lu Yinliang’s future path and won’t mistreat the grandson who grew up in his house since he was a kid.

Zhen Zhen agreed on the surface but she was still unwilling in her heart.
It was just that she had no other way at the moment, so it was natural to be quiet.

Instead, her cousin Zhen Rong next to her hit her arm with his elbow, and asked in a serious manner: “Is he the blind young master of the Chi family that you mentioned last time?”

Zhen Zhen raised her eyebrows and said unhappily, “I don’t know why the old man is so crazy, he actually agreed to this marriage.
At first, Lu Ming said it himself he didn’t want the property of the Lu family’s side, and he wouldn’t participate in this marriage matter.
Now…when everything is alright, he suddenly said he really loves this blind man.”

He even chose to stir up trouble after Chi Xia eloped with someone, who would believe it if it was not intentional?

“How fucking shameless, it’s obvious that he’s robbing Yinliang.” Zhen Rong added to her jealousy, picking out what Zhen Zhen loved to hear and saying.
“Jie, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?”

Zhen Zhen took Zhen Rong in the opposite direction: “Don’t make trouble for me.
His tigress-like mother Chi Lanyan is not easy to mess with, it’s bad luck.” She didn’t want to step on the tiger’s tail for what he had just told her.

Zhen Rong grunted, “Can the small business of Chi’s family compare with that of Lu’s family? What are you afraid of her for?”

“Who’s afraid of her?”

“Besides, who said I was going to teach a lesson? You forget, that demon king of our family is here today.”

Zhen Rong ‘joked’ that Zhen Zhen had been a well-behaved Mrs.
Lu for several years, so her character had become honest.

He was slightly taller than Zhen Zhen, and turned sideways to whisper a few words in Zhen Zhen’s ear.

The two sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled.
Zhen Zhen stroked the hair around her ears: “Yes, it’s okay for children to have a little fun and make a mess.”

…

Sitting alone, Chi Qiu unknowingly finished eating the cupcake in his hand, so he sat quietly waiting for Lu Ming.
The waiter saw him sitting alone and brought a glass of juice.

Chi Qiu reached out: “I can’t see, please hand it to me.”

A hint of surprise flashed in the waiter’s eyes.
After passing the juice to Chi Qiu, he left for a moment.
Soon, he pushed in something and said to Chi Qiu in a warm voice.
“Sir, to your left is a mobile dining table, you can put the juice on it later.
I’ve also put some cupcakes and fruits on it.”

“Thank you, thank you for your trouble.” Chi Qiu said gratefully.

The conversation and behavior between the two aroused the curiosity of others.

“Who is this, it seems that the eyes can’t see?”

“Lu Ming’s partner, I heard, he is the Chi family lady’s own brother.”

“He’s really married to a man?” Immediately, the person who spoke deliberately lowered his voice, “Lu Ming is really gay, ah?”

Some of these conversations avoided Chi Qiu, and some didn’t avoid Chi Qiu.

This birthday banquet was originally a friendship banquet that Master Lu threw for Lu Yinliang, and most of the people who came were distant relatives or friends.
Naturally, there were also ‘relatives and friends’ who were not even close to each other.

Chi Qiu ‘looked straight ahead’.
Today he was not only a blind man in the eyes of others, but also a ‘deaf man’.

He wished in his heart that time would pass faster.

About ten minutes later, Chi Qiu’s phone vibrated.

His mobile phone had an accessibility program that turned on the visually impaired function.
The voice narration function would read out what he received, speaking at a faster pace: [Message from Ji Yanchen].

Before Chi Qiu opened the message, a chubby thing hit his side.
Chi Qiu’s phone fell on the ground, and the person accidentally slammed into the corner of the chair, hurting his arm.

Chi Qiu asked vigilantly: “Who?”

What followed was a childish voice.
He could hear that it should be a little chubby boy who was not very old.
He asked Chi Qiu impolitely, “They say you can’t see, can you really not see?”

Chi Qiu didn’t answer, he squatted down and looked for his cell phone on the ground.
Chi Qiu’s cell phone was behind him.

When the boy saw that Chi Qiu was ignoring him, he pouted.
Rolling his eyes, he deliberately stretched his foot and kicked the phone under the seat.

Chi Qiu could not find the phone, his forehead overflowed with fine beads of sweat.

Surprised, the boy asked again, “Are you blind?”

“En.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a blind person, can you really, really not see anything?” The boy, somewhat excited and curious, kept asking questions.

“Yes, I can’t see anything.” Chi Qiu sighed, embarrassed.
He could only turn to the boy, “Little friend, can you help me find my cell phone? Or you can help me go get a waiter to come over, okay?”

“How can you use your phone if you can’t see? I’m not going to help you, you are faking it!”

“I’m not faking it.
There is a function in the phone that, when opened, can help the visually impaired…is able to help blind people like me use the phone.” After saying that, Chi Qiu again felt that there was nothing he could explain; this child was obviously too young, he probably did not understand.

The boy glanced back, not quite convinced, and muttered, “You can’t fool me.”

As soon as Chi Qiu’s words came to his lips, the boy had already run away.

Hearing the footsteps, he shouldn’t run far.

Sure enough, soon, the boy ran back panting with a cupcake covered with chili powder and shoved it into Chi Qiu’s hand: “This cake is for you.”

Confused, Chi Qiu asked, “Cake?”

“For you to eat.” The boy stared at the chili powder on the cake and looked at Chi Qiu smugly.

“Thank you, I don’t like cake.”

“Then I won’t find your phone for you!” He deliberately said, “I just bumped into you, this cake is specially bought for you by me.”

Chi Qiu touched the familiar paper cup: “You obviously took it from the dining table.
Little friend, don’t lie.”

For good reason, somehow a bear child popped up and had to ask him to eat the cake.
How could Chi Qiu be so stupid.

This cake was obviously not quite right, maybe it was a prank.

Chi Qiu’s fingers touched the cake lightly.
His thumb and index finger rubbed each other, and the fine powder fell off.
It was not that he hadn’t come across this kind of thing before, but that had all happened when he had just gone blind.

Chi Qiu raised his head solemnly: “What did you put on it? Did you do it yourself, or who taught you?”

When the boy saw that Chi Qiu had found out, he got impatiently cranky: “You really are a liar!”

He tried to grab the cake from Chi Qiu’s hand, but unexpectedly, the piece of cake ended up in the boy’s mouth.

Only to see a man in a dark suit, seemingly suave and elegant man gently took the cake in Chi Qiu’s hand and gently pushed it into the loudly shouting boy’s mouth, and the cream full of chili powder immediately took effect.

In an instant, it was so spicy that the boy cried.

The man, with a handsome look, pulled the corners of his mouth lightly.
He reached out and hooked Chi Qiu’s shoulders in a protective pose and tsked at the crying bear child: “How come the Lu family is full of this kind of bullshit?”

When Chi Qiu heard the voice, he was surprised: “Yanchen? Why are you here?”
