Chapter 101#
Lu Lin didn’t contact Xie Yunjie, but directly called the hot spring hotel to book a room.
However, Xie Yunjie received the news immediately and called Lu Lin.
“Going early? What suite are you staying in? Go directly to the villa.”
The hot spring hotel had set aside a separate hot spring and built a villa for the Xie family’s own vacation use.
Lu Lin was driving, and the call was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, so Xie Yunjie’s voice echoed in the car.
Lu Lin glanced at Yan Heqing out of the corner of his eye. Yan Heqing liked peace and quiet, and staying in a villa would inevitably be lively.
Yan Heqing noticed Lu Lin’s intention and took the initiative to reply to Xie Yunjie, “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Xie.”
Xie Yunjie laughed loudly, “Don’t call me Mr. Xie, that’s too formal! I’m not much older than you, you can call me Brother Xie or Brother Jie, whatever you like.”
His intention was obvious; he just wanted to take advantage of Lu Lin. Lu Lin’s baby calling him brother was no different from Lu Lin calling him brother!
Yan Heqing curled his lips slightly, “Let’s stick to the name.”
“That works too.” Xie Yunjie laughed, “Alright, I won’t disturb you guys. I’m hanging up. I’ll arrive tomorrow.”
Xie Yunjie hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Chu Ziyu’s call came in, but he contacted Yan Heqing.
“Qing ah, where are you guys?” There were clinking and clanking sounds on his end. “I’m packing my luggage! Shall we meet up for a late-night snack when we arrive later?”
His voice was loud, so Lu Lin refused for Yan Heqing, “Go by yourself, he’s going to recuperate.”
Then they clearly heard Chu Ziyu slap his forehead, “My goldfish memory, I forgot about that. Alright then, if we’re not eating barbecue, I’ll leave tomorrow morning and pack more luggage!”
Not knowing how much luggage he had, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
“You’ve known Chu Ziyu since elementary school?” Yan Heqing asked suddenly.
Lu Lin’s expression remained normal, “Kindergarten. He wet the bed every day back then, until he graduated from the senior class.”
Yan Heqing nodded. Bedwetting wasn’t strange; Yan Feng was still wetting his pants at 12.
“Your reaction.” Lu Lin tapped his index finger on the steering wheel, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll be jealous?”
This time Yan Heqing took a few seconds to react, and quickly explained, “The boy from my adoptive mother’s family still wets his pants at 12.”
Lu Lin thought of the smell permeating the house when he went there last time. Yan Heqing had lived in such an environment for 13 years.
“Calling him by his full name is because he is your friend.” Yan Heqing added another sentence.
Lu Lin was completely defeated by this sentence, “Sleep for a while first?” He glanced at the navigation, “It takes three hours from here.”
Yan Heqing shook his head, “Not sleepy. I’ll drive after getting off the highway.”
At this time, they passed a 24-hour convenience store. Lu Lin stopped by the roadside, “I’ll go buy water. Do you want some food?”
Yan Heqing unbuckled his seat belt first, “I’ll go.”
There was only one cashier in the convenience store watching a football match. Yan Heqing took a few bottles of water and a few boxes of biscuits and walked to the checkout counter.
Putting down the things, the cashier scanned the codes, “Total 45.”
Yan Heqing’s gaze fell on the colorful packages on the shelf next to him.
He had worked part-time in a supermarket and knew that these were not candies, but condoms.
He looked quietly for two seconds and took out a box.
“And this.”
——
At this time, the Lin family was still in chaos.
Lin Fengzhi refused to be hospitalized and went home, locking himself in his room.
Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Lin Fengxian were all gentle in nature. Lin Fengyi endured until the evening, then suddenly went to Lin Fengzhi’s door without a word and kicked it open.
Entering the room, he directly lifted Lin Fengzhi’s quilt, picked him up, and strode out.
Lin Fengzhi struggled with both hands and feet, “I’m not going to the hospital! Let me go!”
Lin Fengyi was scratched on his face and body, but he remained expressionless, carrying Lin Fengzhi downstairs.
Father Lin and Mother Lin rushed out and saw Lin Fengyi carrying Lin Fengzhi out.
They all thought he was sending Lin Fengzhi to the hospital. Father Lin sighed, “It’s good to send him for treatment by force, there’s no other way.”
Just after speaking, there was a sudden thud outside, mixed with Lin Fengzhi’s scream.
Mother Lin immediately rushed out.
Seeing the scene outside, she was stunned. Lin Fengyi stood by the pool, and Lin Fengzhi had been thrown into the swimming pool by him!
Father Lin arrived subsequently, anxious to fish him out, but Mother Lin tremblingly held him back, her voice weak, “Don’t go, let him climb up by himself.”
Lin Fengzhi struggled to climb ashore, soaked all over, with an aggrieved expression. “Lin Fengyi, are you crazy!”
Lin Fengyi looked like he hated iron for not becoming steel. “You are the one who is crazy! Your eyes are sick and you won’t treat them. Do you want to go completely blind!”
“Yes!” Lin Fengzhi roared back at him, “I just want to go blind!”
If he went blind, he wouldn’t see anything! He wouldn’t see Lu Lin liking Yan Heqing, wouldn’t see the couple bracelets they were wearing!
Roaring and roaring, Lin Fengzhi’s tears fell, “You all like him. If I go blind, I won’t see it, and I won’t be sad!”
Lin Fengyi inexplicably determined that Lin Fengzhi was talking about Yan Heqing. He had a strange feeling, “Didn’t you also like him very much?”
Before, Lin Fengzhi didn’t allow him to call Yan Heqing by his surname Yan, and he especially liked the Ultraman Yan Heqing gave him.
Lin Fengzhi was even more stimulated. He liked Yan Heqing because Yan Heqing was very good to him, but Yan Heqing was with Lu Lin.
Lu Lin, whom he liked the most in the whole world…
“I don’t like him anymore!” Lin Fengzhi said, “Anyway, I won’t treat it. I won’t treat it even if I die. It’s best if I go blind!”
Lin Fengyi didn’t understand. Finally, Mother Lin couldn’t stand it anymore. Her eyes were still swollen, and she couldn’t cry anymore, “In your heart, is mom not as good as a man who doesn’t love you? You want to die for him, don’t even want your eyes. Have you ever considered mom’s feelings?”
Mother Lin hadn’t told Father Lin and Lin Fengyi about Lin Fengzhi’s secret love for Lu Lin. Now hearing that Lin Fengzhi liked men, both were shocked.
But Lin Fengyi reacted quickly.
He frowned, “You like Lu Lin?”
Hearing Lu Lin, Father Lin’s face changed greatly, “Lu Lin of the Lu Group?”
Lin Fengzhi didn’t answer. He looked at the pale Mother Lin and finally knew to be anxious, “Mom…”
Hope finally surfaced in Mother Lin’s eyes. She stepped forward to support him, “Don’t approach Mr. Lu anymore. Let’s go to the hospital to treat your eyes properly. It doesn’t matter if you like the same sex. After curing your eyes, mom will accompany you to travel around the world. You will definitely meet other excellent boys.”
But just as she touched Lin Fengzhi’s arm, Lin Fengzhi shrank his shoulders and avoided it.
Lin Fengzhi eagerly wanted to prove something, “Mom, you don’t know… Yan Heqing doesn’t like Uncle Lu, he really doesn’t like Uncle Lu…”
The light in Mother Lin’s eyes instantly extinguished and never lit up again.
She only instructed Father Lin and Lin Fengyi one thing, “No one is allowed to contact Yan Heqing again.”
“I have no face to see him again.”
On the other side, Lu Lin and Yan Heqing arrived at the villa.
It was already two o’clock in the morning. Both were very tired, so they checked into the villa and went into separate rooms to sleep.
There was sleep-aiding incense in the room. Yan Heqing didn’t wake up at six o’clock and slept until he woke up naturally.
He opened the curtains. His room was on the second floor, just able to see the garage in the yard. Chu Ziyu and Xie Yunjie had already arrived, and Lu Lin was there too.
The three were moving things in the garage.
It was all Chu Ziyu’s luggage. He had brought all his bicycles worth millions.
“Even the air on vacation is sweet!” Chu Ziyu took a deep breath with satisfaction.
He turned back and asked Xie Yunjie, “Why didn’t you call your wife? It’s lively with more people.”
Xie Yunjie raised his eyebrows, “She is more enthusiastic about her career than I am. She went abroad to negotiate a contract and hasn’t come back yet.”
After speaking, Xie Yunjie asked Lu Lin, “Any arrangements for today?”
“Wait until he wakes up.”
Chu Ziyu interrupted, “I’ve arranged it! There are mountain trails nearby suitable for cycling. Qingbao wants to exercise, cycling is too suitable!”
Lu Lin said lightly: “Your forms of address are full of tricks.”
“That’s right!” Chu Ziyu was very proud. “I can use a different one every day.”
Xie Yunjie couldn’t help it, slapping Chu Ziyu’s shoulder vigorously, shaking with laughter, “Holy crap! President Lu is jealous! Hahaha, jealous over a form of address. Ten years ago, no, even before today, I couldn’t have imagined it!”
Chu Ziyu also grinned, “If President Lu is jealous, I’ll change another one! Xiao He! Is this satisfactory, President Lu?”
Lu Lin let them be glib, turning back to look at the second floor in the distance.
He really saw Yan Heqing standing at the window.
Just a bit far away.
Lu Lin took out his phone and dialed Yan Heqing’s number, “It’s still early, you can sleep a bit longer.”
Yan Heqing didn’t want to disturb their rare chat, “I’ll go take a shower. It was too late yesterday and I didn’t have time.”
Lu Lin smiled, “Go ahead, we’ll have breakfast when you’re ready.”
Seeing Yan Heqing close the curtains, Lu Lin put down the phone.
Chu Ziyu and Xie Yunjie were chatting. When they finished chatting, Lu Lin suddenly asked, “Is there any special day the year after next?”
Both were stunned.
It really didn’t seem like a question Lu Lin would care about.
Xie Yunjie thought it was a new interview question, “Lu Group’s XX anniversary?”
Chu Ziyu knew much more in this aspect. He quickly took out his phone to search, but didn’t find anything unique.
He touched his lips, “Seems like looking at the horoscope, my peach blossom luck will be prosperous the year after next?”
He chattered on about some miscellaneous answers.
Finally, he smiled mysteriously.
“There is one more! It says the end of the world in the prophecy!”
Xie Yunjie complained, “Just keep making things up!”
Chu Ziyu retorted, “I didn’t make it up, the internet made it up!” He sought Lu Lin’s agreement. “Right, President Lu.”
Lu Lin didn’t reply. The year after next would definitely not be the end of the world, but March 3rd the year after next seemed like Yan Heqing’s end of the world.
When the end comes, it is natural to want to see the sunrise on March 4th.
This thought was too absurd, but it lingered in Lu Lin’s mind.
It wasn’t until Yan Heqing went downstairs that Lu Lin pulled away from that absurd idea.
He suppressed that irritability and rubbed the top of Yan Heqing’s hair, which had just been blown dry.
“Let’s go have breakfast.”
