Chapter 105#
The noise was particularly harsh in the car late at night. Lu Lin took out his phone with one hand, forcibly turned it off, and threw it on the ground.
In that instant, Yan Heqing caught a glimpse of a few numbers on the screen.
3564, Lin Fengzhi’s third number.
Yan Heqing closed his eyes, being laid down by Lu Lin in the soft seat cushion.
The breathing gradually became chaotic, continuing until someone touched the food box, and the lid fell to the ground with a sound. Only then did Lu Lin leave Yan Heqing’s lips.
With his back to the light, his eyes, darker than the night, looked at the young man under him.
Yan Heqing still couldn’t breathe properly. He was a little hypoxic, his lips slightly parted, breathing along with the rise and fall of his chest.
Lu Lin’s eyes darkened even more. He raised his hand, his thumb heavily rubbing the rich color of his lips, his hand strength a bit heavier than usual, and a sound came from his throat, “Marry me.”
Yan Heqing’s head was dizzy. At first, he didn’t hear clearly. After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the layer of misty water vapor covering his pupils instantly disappeared without a trace.
He couldn’t answer.
He had never thought about getting married.
That was too far away for him.
He was a person with no future.
Fine light leaked from the gaps around Lu Lin. The heat on his lips was amazing, and Yan Heqing’s lips couldn’t move for a long time.
The car was extremely quiet.
“You don’t have to answer me now.” Lu Lin suddenly smiled, retracted his hand and pulled Yan Heqing up, his voice low and hoarse, “I’m not old yet, I have time to wait for you.”
The stuffy atmosphere instantly disintegrated.
The two were close just now, and Yan Heqing knew that Lu Lin was enduring.
He was sexually indifferent, but he also knew Lu Lin’s discomfort at this moment. He turned off the car lights, and the car plunged into darkness.
Click.
The belt buckle opened, followed by Yan Heqing’s voice trying to be calm.
“Hands are okay.”
……
The moonlight poured down. Lin Fengzhi sat on the bay window, staring at his phone in a daze.
He guessed that Lu Lin wouldn’t answer, but he still couldn’t help dialing the number he knew by heart. He promised not to say a word, just listen to Lu Lin’s voice and hang up.
But even so, he still couldn’t stand it. He changed to another phone, hoping for that slim possibility.
No answer.
As he expected.
Lin Fengzhi didn’t dial again, his eyes welling up once more.
He threw the phone away and rubbed his eyes hard, which stung badly. This was the reason for wearing RGP.
He was actually very afraid of going blind. He couldn’t imagine a world without sight.
“Uncle Lu…” Lin Fengzhi buried his head in his knees, crying silently, “I’m so scared… I miss you…”
He didn’t know how long he cried.
Lin Fengzhi raised his head, tears still hanging on his eyelashes. He climbed to the window and pushed it open.
All was quiet. The moonlight shone on the garden, and large clusters of hydrangeas bloomed freely.
It was the hydrangea Yan Heqing gave to Mother Lin for the New Year, which bloomed in early June.
Lin Fengzhi’s heart beat violently. He stared at the hydrangeas.
Lu Lin ignored him, so he could only find Yan Heqing.
But now Yan Heqing ignored him too…
He had an eye disease, and Yan Heqing hadn’t come to see him once. It was the same that day. He said he couldn’t see, cried and shouted for Yan Heqing to come back, but Yan Heqing was heartless and ignored him.
He had to find a reason to see Yan Heqing, to find a way to make Yan Heqing give up Lu Lin on his own…
Lin Fengzhi kept hitting his head, hurry up! Think of a way!!
Suddenly, a light lit up in his eyes.
Got it!
There was a reason Yan Heqing absolutely couldn’t refuse him!
He didn’t even have time to wipe his tears, quickly grabbed his phone, and dialed Yan Heqing’s number.
Yan Heqing had just washed his hands and returned to the laboratory when he saw Lin Fengzhi’s call.
Still in the early morning, never learning his lesson.
Yan Heqing calmly watched the screen go dark, then watched it light up again relentlessly.
Finally, he picked up the phone.
“Wh…”
“Brother.” Lin Fengzhi interrupted him. “I’m going to pay respects to them.”
He said forcefully, “Our biological parents.”
The next day, after finishing two classes in the afternoon, Yan Heqing drove to the Lin residence.
Lin Fengyi happened to be home. Seeing Yan Heqing reversing the car, his mouth just moved, then he pursed his lips tightly, and went in first with the medicine he bought for Mother Lin.
Yan Heqing didn’t care. He parked the car and went in. When Mother Lin learned that he had come, she quickly got up, changed her clothes and went to the door, then turned back to put on some makeup.
Back in the living room, Yan Heqing was sitting on the sofa. Mother Lin’s footsteps paused slightly. She took a deep breath before squeezing out a smile and stepping forward, “Heqing, you’re here.”
She turned back and asked Lin Fengyi to pour water. During this period, she let the servants take a vacation, as many people meant many mouths.
Lin Fengyi came back and put down a glass of warm water, hearing Mother Lin’s surprised voice, “You’re taking Fengzhi to pay respects to your parents?”
Lin Fengyi glanced at Yan Heqing with a complicated expression. Could it be that he still didn’t know that Lin Fengzhi liked Lu Lin?
But his eyes widened at Mother Lin’s next sentence.
“Mr. Lu…” After the surprise, Mother Lin thought of another thing, “Is he going?”
Now she would never allow Lin Fengzhi to see Lu Lin again.
Yan Heqing handed her the water glass, “Don’t worry, he’s not going.”
Lin Fengyi was shocked. Yan Heqing knew! He knew and still… Lin Fengyi couldn’t describe his feelings, his chest was very stuffy.
Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She originally didn’t agree to Lin Fengzhi going out, but Yan Heqing was an exception. She trusted him.
Mother Lin didn’t dare to look directly at Yan Heqing’s eyes. She was full of guilt and hurriedly got up, “He’s in his room, I’ll go call him.”
“Auntie, don’t rush.” Yan Heqing called her, “Can you take me to the garden to see the hydrangeas?”
During this period, Mother Lin was sick with Lin Fengzhi, staying at home with him, not going out, and not seeing the sun for a long time. Lin Fengyi tried to persuade her several times to no avail.
Hearing that Yan Heqing wanted to take Mother Lin out, he quickly chimed in, “Yes, mom, the hydrangeas are blooming, they are very beautiful.”
Mother Lin agreed and went to the garden with Yan Heqing. Seeing the large area of endless summer blooming lively, she finally showed a smile and turned to Yan Heqing, “So beautiful.”
Yan Heqing’s eyes curved, “You raised them very well.”
Mother Lin almost burst into tears. She didn’t raise them well at all. She spoiled Lin Fengzhi, raised him badly, so willful as to want to snatch her brother’s boyfriend. She was sorry for Yan Heqing, and also sorry for their biological parents.
She quickly turned her head, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and pretended to be fine with a smile, “Okay, I won’t delay you. I’ll stay a little longer, you go upstairs and call Fengzhi yourself.”
Knowing that she needed to vent now, Yan Heqing returned to the villa. Entering the living room, he saw Lin Fengyi sitting on the sofa panting. He didn’t expose him, and asked calmly: “Where does Lin Fengzhi live?”
Lin Fengyi coughed lightly. Yan Heqing turned around too quickly, and he was almost caught in the act, but…
Recalling Yan Heqing’s gentleness towards Mother Lin, his heart beat extremely fast. He picked up the water glass and chugged it down, not daring to look at Yan Heqing, “Second floor, third room on the left.”
Yan Heqing went upstairs. Lin Fengyi finally couldn’t hold it back and called him, “Yan Heqing!”
Yan Heqing stopped without turning back. “What.”
“You…” Lin Fengyi gritted his teeth, “Are you missing a screw?”
Yan Heqing was baffled, “You look more like it.”
Ignoring him, he went upstairs.
In Lin Fengzhi’s bedroom, he had known Yan Heqing was coming for a long time. He was originally sitting on the bay window, but he rushed to the bed and lay down, even ruffling his hair.
He looked at the door. As soon as the knock sounded, he spoke, “The door is not closed!”
Yan Heqing opened the door.
He saw Lin Fengzhi’s room for the first time in reality, just as described in the text.
There was a whole wall of photos, filled with pictures of Lin Fengzhi from childhood to adulthood.
Yan Heqing walked into the room. He knew Lin Fengzhi’s little trick, but didn’t expose him.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Fengzhi lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He first glanced at Yan Heqing’s wrist. Seeing that he was still wearing the red bean bracelet, he pushed open the door of the cloakroom heavily.
He specially chose a set of high-end summer clothes, the same black and white as Yan Heqing’s, but the fabric showed the value of his set.
The two went downstairs. Mother Lin had already returned. She had prepared two large fruit baskets, “There was no time to order flowers, take this.”
Yan Heqing took the fruit basket and thanked Mother Lin.
Mother Lin looked at Lin Fengzhi. Lin Fengzhi immediately turned his face away. Mother Lin forced a smile and patted Yan Heqing’s arm, “Let Fengyi drive you there.”
Lin Fengyi had his car keys ready, but heard Yan Heqing politely refuse, “No trouble, I drove here.”
Lin Fengyi clenched the car keys, with a disdainful look, “I have something to do, I don’t have time to drive you.”
Mother Lin was strange, “What is it? Didn’t you say you would stay at home with me every day for these few months?”
“…Urgent matter, just called me.”
Yan Heqing and Lin Fengzhi left. Lin Fengzhi saw Yan Heqing’s car and hesitated for a while before getting into the passenger seat.
Lin Fengzhi secretly observed for traces related to Lu Lin after getting into the car. There were no ornaments or pillows. His mood improved a little. He glanced at Yan Heqing and didn’t start a conversation.
Unless Yan Heqing spoke first, he would not talk to him!
Yan Heqing drove the car and ignored him the whole way.
They were silent all the way to the cemetery. The sky had darkened a lot. Although it was a sunny day, there were unknown bird calls around, plus the dense trees, Lin Fengzhi was still a little uncomfortable after getting out of the car.
He never came to such a place.
There was a flower shop at the parking lot. Yan Heqing went in and bought two bouquets of flowers. Lin Fengzhi saw that he bought chrysanthemums and gladiolus, so he didn’t want to buy these two kinds of flowers, and deliberately chose carnations and calla lilies.
Yan Heqing said lightly: “Bring a bouquet of gladiolus, mom likes it.”
Lin Fengzhi didn’t want to change. He didn’t want to listen to Yan Heqing’s words now, but then he thought that he couldn’t annoy Yan Heqing now, so he asked for another bouquet of gladiolus.
“I’ll give two bouquets.” Even if he wanted gladiolus, he wouldn’t give up the flowers he chose himself!
Yan Heqing let him be. He tidied up his clothes, picked up the fruit basket, and went up the mountain with the bouquet.
It wasn’t Qingming, and it was a weekday. The cemetery was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.
Arriving at his father’s tombstone first, Lin Fengzhi was finally touched a little. He put down the calla lilies and found that there was no photo. He turned back, “Why no photo?”
“Burned.”
Lin Fengzhi showed some confusion, “What do you mean burned?”
Yan Heqing told him about the fire.
He couldn’t remember clearly, and the original text didn’t say clearly. It seemed that a fire suddenly started, and the house was full of fire and thick smoke.
He was picked up by his mother, couldn’t see anything, only his mother’s gentle voice.
“Baby, don’t be afraid, hold on…”
Yan Heqing pinched his fingers and said softly: “Let’s go, to mother’s grave.”
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the scattered street lights lit up, but the light was dim. Lin Fengzhi couldn’t help but speed up and follow Yan Heqing closely.
Arriving at Yan Qiushuang’s grave, Yan Heqing squatted down, carefully cleaned the dust on the grave, and then put down the fruit basket and gladiolus.
A smile spread in his eyes, “Mom, we’ve come to see you.”
Lin Fengzhi came with a motive, but at this moment, seeing Yan Qiushuang’s grave, he was also a little sad. He put down the gladiolus and carnations, and finally called out, “Mom, I’m Lin Fengzhi, I’ve come to see you.”
Night fell, and the cemetery was silent. The two quietly accompanied their biological mother who was sleeping underground. A crow’s cry broke the night sky, and Lin Fengzhi also broke the silence.
“Mom.”
Lin Fengzhi bowed solemnly to the tombstone, “If you have a spirit in heaven, please bless my brother to see the error of his ways.”
Yan Heqing’s face suddenly darkened. He pulled Lin Fengzhi and was about to leave, “Don’t be here…”
“I insist on being here! You don’t dare, you finally have a guilty conscience, right!” Lin Fengzhi’s strength was no match for Yan Heqing’s. He quickly grabbed Yan Qiushuang’s tombstone and shouted with red eyes, “If you still love mom, don’t let her worry about you even after she’s dead! No one will be happy like this! Let go of Uncle Lu, and let go of yourself!”
Lin Fengzhi wasn’t clear about other things, but he knew that Yan Heqing was very filial! He didn’t believe that Yan Heqing would bully him in front of his own mother!
At this time, all of Lin Fengzhi’s grievances also surged up, “You are a liar! You said I was your favorite brother, bought me strawberries, big chicken legs and big beef legs, you would always protect me and not let anyone bully me, but now you are the one bullying me!”
Tears burst out of his eyes, “You don’t care that my eyes are going blind, leaving me to fend for myself! You are too good at lying, lying to mom, lying to me, lying to Uncle Lu!”
Yan Heqing suddenly let go of his hand. The night dyed his pupils black, and there was no more warmth in his eyes.
“You remembered.”
Not a question, but a statement.
Lin Fengzhi suddenly choked. He subconsciously covered his mouth, thinking that he was not wrong, and then forcefully pushed his hand away.
He actually only had intermittent memories, not clear, but he had to admit it, “That’s right, I remembered everything. You’re afraid that I’ll expose you if I regain my memory! You never keep your word, you are a liar, since you were a child—”
Lin Fengzhi’s right face was turned to one side, hurting badly. He felt his whole face was numb and swollen. Lin Fengzhi was stunned, he couldn’t believe it, “You hit me?”
Yan Heqing’s hand was also numb from the shock. He used all his strength to clench his hand, “I regret not hitting you earlier.”
He knew that Lin Fengzhi had another purpose for visiting the grave.
But he still brought him.
His parents, like him once, missed him very much.
But at this moment, it was all gone.
Yan Heqing’s voice was cold, “Listen carefully, Lin Fengzhi, I love Lu Lin. Don’t delude yourself into thinking about him anymore.”
