Chapter 104#
After sending the message, Yan Heqing happened to walk to the classroom door.
The first class was in a lecture hall. The time was neither early nor late, so not many students had arrived.
Just as Yan Heqing was about to enter, a voice behind him called out, “There are still forty minutes, want to find a quiet place to chat?”
It was Lu Muchi.
Not seen for a few days, his voice was a bit more hoarse.
No need to think, Zhao Weifang had told Lu Muchi about his classroom again.
Yan Heqing didn’t speak, turned around and left.
Yan Heqing took Lu Muchi to the artificial lake.
There weren’t many people in the morning, only occasionally a student running on the track in the distance. The lakeside was planted with jacaranda trees, which were in full bloom. The blue-purple flowers were dazzlingly beautiful in the morning light.
Just like Yan Heqing in Lu Muchi’s eyes.
Not seen for a few days, but for Lu Muchi, it was harder to bear than a few years.
He looked at Yan Heqing carefully.
A simple white shirt, a good complexion, and even… warmth.
The former Yan Heqing was always indifferent and cold, misty with rain, as if only rainy days and winter existed in his eyes.
Today, he was like the morning that had cleared the fog, the morning sun breaking through the clouds.
Lu Muchi clenched his hands, wanting to question—without me, are you so happy?
His dark eyes brewed with too many emotions. Just as he was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out without looking and turned it off directly.
“I waited at your door for two days.”
Lu Muchi curled his lips in self-mockery, “After torturing me for so long, you should feel a little better in your heart.”
Yan Heqing suddenly smiled, the morning light falling on the slightly upturned corners of his mouth. Lu Muchi’s heart beat extremely fast for a moment. He looked at him, his voice unconsciously gentle, “What are you laughing at?”
“Laughing at you.” Yan Heqing’s tone was calm, “Lu Muchi, your life has been too smooth. This level is considered torture.”
Lu Muchi’s heart suddenly palpitated. An indescribable fear emerged for no reason, as if the Yan Heqing in front of him was a figment of his imagination, who had actually left two days ago and never came back.
Lu Muchi immediately grabbed Yan Heqing’s hand, holding it tightly. Feeling the slightly cool touch, his violently fluctuating heart tended to stabilize.
He smiled, “You—”
Slap!
A heavy slap, Lu Muchi’s face felt a huge pain. Too unexpected, too shocked, he just stared at Yan Heqing.
Yan Heqing slapped his other cheek with the back of his hand.
Lu Muchi finally reacted, his eyes full of hostility. He let go of Yan Heqing and raised his fist to strike.
Yan Heqing’s eyes were calm, facing it frankly. Lu Muchi couldn’t bear it again, forcibly stopping his hand above Yan Heqing’s nose and retracting it, pressing his painfully aching face, “You’re quite violent, only my uncle dares to hit me like this.” He smiled again, “Now I’ve been slapped by you twice, is this considered torture?”
Yan Heqing didn’t answer, only saying coldly: “Learn to respect people first, then come find me.”
Lifting his foot to leave, Lu Muchi didn’t understand how he disrespected him again. He wanted to stop him, reaching out his hand, his pupils suddenly dilating. Was Yan Heqing angry that he touched his hand? He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “This counts?”
Yan Heqing stopped, “Yes.”
Lu Muchi pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, which could slightly relieve the pain, “That’s right, just say what’s on your mind. I’m not good at guessing.” He didn’t touch Yan Heqing’s hand again, stepping in front of him to block him, “I’ll listen to everything you say, but you have to give me a chance. I can’t stand you ignoring me like this.”
He finally got to the point.
Yan Heqing’s expression was calm, “Opportunities are not given by others, but found by oneself.”
Lu Muchi smiled, pulling at his face, which made him gasp in pain again. He rubbed the broken corner of his mouth, “Isn’t this what I’m looking for? You can torture me however you want, just don’t disappear again.” His eyes became serious, “Don’t let me not be able to find you.”
He lost Xu Qiaoyin, he didn’t want to lose Yan Heqing again.
Yan Heqing was noncommittal, he said lightly: “I have to go to class, don’t come to school to find me in the future.”
“Okay.” Lu Muchi agreed readily, “In exchange, go to the wine tasting with me next weekend.”
Fearing that Yan Heqing would not agree, he emphasized, “You promised last time.”
Yan Heqing said lightly: “I didn’t promise, I said we’ll see.”
Lu Muchi was both happy and worried. Happy that Yan Heqing really remembered every word they said, worried that Yan Heqing still didn’t agree.
He was determined to take Yan Heqing to the wine tasting. In that ambiguous environment, he had too many ways to coax Yan Heqing.
“You didn’t refuse either.” Lu Muchi stared at him firmly, “If you don’t go, I won’t leave, I’ll wait until you agree.”
Yan Heqing’s goal was the wine party.
A playground of fame and fortune for celebrities and merchants, a place for pleasure, Zhao Weifang was never absent. His ordinary background allowed him to connect with people that ordinary people couldn’t reach, by currying favor with various rich people.
Dirty, but useful.
Zhao Weifang’s final ending in the original book was becoming a new tech tycoon.
He seemed to be coerced by Lu Muchi, “What time.”
Lu Muchi immediately said the time, “I’ll pick you up.”
Yan Heqing refused, “I have a car. If you think it’s low-grade, it’s not too late to change people.”
Lu Muchi opened his mouth to explain that he didn’t mean that. He was the eldest grandson of the Lu family. Even if he drove a tractor to the wine tasting, others would only praise him. He just wanted to spend more time with Yan Heqing, but swallowed the words back, “Okay, I’ll pick you up, and then get a ride in your car.”
“I don’t give rides.”
“…” Lu Muchi swore that he had dedicated all his good temper in this life to Yan Heqing. He took a deep breath, pulling at the corners of his mouth, “That road is hard to find, you need someone to lead the way. It’s fine if you drive and follow me.”
Being rejected by Yan Heqing too many times, he was a little unconfident. Fortunately, Yan Heqing didn’t refuse again, “You can go now, and don’t come again in the future.”
Back in the car, Lu Muchi realized that his back was a little sweaty.
He rubbed his temples heavily and let out a long breath.
A moment later, he laughed incredulously. He thought of an interesting incident from the past.
At a party, a friend brought a fortune-telling master who read his palm, “Young Master Lu will be a henpecked husband in the future!”
He was dismissive at the time.
He spoiled Lin Fengzhi, but to listen to Lin Fengzhi’s words, how could that be possible.
Now it seems, it was accurate.
Not Lin Fengzhi, but Yan Heqing.
While laughing, he thought of Lin Fengzhi again after a long time. Lu Muchi’s smile faded a little. He expertly took the driver’s phone and dialed Lin Fengzhi’s number.
It didn’t ring a few times before being hung up.
Still the familiar temper.
Lu Muchi didn’t call again, threw the phone away and asked the driver to go back to the hospital.
After the morning class ended, Yan Heqing went to the cafeteria for a meal, then went to the laboratory.
Just as he reached the fourth floor, the door of the next laboratory opened, and Gu Xingye walked out.
Seeing Yan Heqing, Gu Xingye was slightly stunned for a second, then chuckled lightly, “Have you eaten?”
Yan Heqing nodded.
Gu Xingye didn’t want to end this conversation too quickly. He closed the folder, “How is the experiment progressing?”
“Halfway.”
Gu Xingye raised his eyebrows slightly, “I thought you wouldn’t answer.”
Yan Heqing said calmly: “There’s no need not to answer questions that can be answered.”
“Then what are the questions that cannot be answered?” Gu Xingye asked knowingly.
He had long seen that the relationship between Yan Heqing and Lin Fengzhi was weak, not because of Lu Lin, but something else.
Therefore, he didn’t mention Lin Fengzhi at the first time.
Lin Fengzhi’s situation was terrible now. The Lin family finally stopped indulging his temper and locked him at home for forced treatment.
Gu Xingye guessed that besides treating the eye disease, there was also the reason of not letting Lin Fengzhi find Lu Lin.
With Lin Fengzhi’s character, he would not give up on Lu Lin.
“The question you are about to ask.” Yan Heqing gave the answer.
Completely blocking Gu Xingye.
Gu Xingye smiled bitterly and had to change the question, “If he never gives up on Mr. Lu, what will you do?”
Yan Heqing unexpectedly did not avoid it, “What you would do, I will do.”
After speaking, he walked past Gu Xingye and entered the laboratory.
Gu Xingye didn’t move for a long time. Yan Heqing seemed not to have answered, but also seemed to have answered.
If it were him—
He would crush the opponent without mercy.
Gu Xingye sighed silently. He quickly rubbed his swollen temples. He had stayed up all night and was really hungry, so he went downstairs to buy chocolate.
……
Yan Heqing’s experimental topic was to study the relationship between biology and the environment.
He entered the laboratory and didn’t come out until eleven o’clock at night.
Only his laboratory was still lit in the entire building. He was already past hungry and didn’t plan to buy some food to fill his stomach. He would rest for a while and then go back to the laboratory to continue.
He was going to pull an all-nighter tonight.
He walked to the partition wall of the corridor, put his hands on the counter, and looked up at the night sky.
There were stars, tomorrow would be a good day.
The evening wind was less hot and very cool on his face. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the wind.
The leaves rustled.
After a while, he lifted his eyelids, took out his phone from his lab coat pocket, and was just about to call Lu Lin when Lu Lin called in at the same time.
At this time, a light flashed downstairs.
Yan Heqing’s heart moved. He answered the phone and looked towards the flashing place downstairs.
Lu Lin tilted his head slightly, holding a light cube in his hand. Knowing that the night was dark and Yan Heqing couldn’t see, the corners of his mouth still raised, “Are you coming down, or am I coming up?”
Yan Heqing turned and ran downstairs.
The corridor sensor lights lit up layer by layer. As soon as the light on the first floor lit up, a thin figure appeared.
Yan Heqing ran quickly towards Lu Lin. He ran a little anxiously, panting slightly, “Why did you come?”
Lu Lin wanted to wipe the sparkling sweat from his forehead, but restrained himself in the end.
This was at school.
His voice was even more intoxicating than the night wind. “To feed you.”
Lu Lin brought two large food boxes, full of all kinds of things, all made by him personally.
Yan Heqing wasn’t hungry at first, but facing the delicious food, he still ate a lot.
In Lu Lin’s car, while Yan Heqing was eating, Lu Lin didn’t speak to disturb him. The young man was really too thin. Looking from the side, except for his three-dimensional face, his body was pitifully thin.
The car’s ceiling light was very bright. This car was top-of-the-line. When it fell on Yan Heqing’s face, his porcelain-white skin had no flaws at all. Following the smooth jawline, the light fell into his collar, and those few red spots were well covered.
Lu Lin moved his gaze away.
The taste of the marrow is known.
But Yan Heqing’s current physical condition did not allow it, nor did his busy studies.
He knew what academics meant to Yan Heqing.
The car was filled with the quiet sound of swallowing. After Yan Heqing finished eating, Lu Lin spoke, “Take a blanket back, taking a nap for a while won’t delay much time.”
Yan Heqing’s eyelashes moved, “En.”
Lu Lin knew that Yan Heqing was busy going back to do experiments. He endured and endured, and was about to open the car door.
Just then, a familiar laboratory smell enveloped him.
Yan Heqing hugged him, his beautiful face like moonlight tilted slightly, and kissed him on the lips.
“Thank you, Lu Lin.”
Lu Lin hugged his waist tightly with his backhand and deepened the kiss.
At the same time, Lu Lin’s phone vibrated crazily at an inopportune time.
