Chapter 136#

[End of Main Text]

Yan Heqing returned home. The living room was brightly lit, but Lu Lin was nowhere to be seen.

He changed into slippers and went to the balcony.

Sure enough, Lu Lin was pruning dead branches.

The balcony wasn’t enclosed. Compared to the huge terrace of the apartment, the conditions for growing flowers were still much worse. During their honeymoon, housekeeping came to water them every day, but a few pots of roses still died.

“How about planting a few pots of climbing roses?” Lu Lin suddenly said. “When you come back, the balcony will be full of flowers.”

Yan Heqing walked over to him, squatted down, picked up a shovel to fill the soil. “I’m only going for less than three months—”

He stopped again. Buying a few pots with buds and taking good care of them, they would bloom in August, and the flowering period could last until next year.

When he came back at the end of October, it wasn’t impossible for the roses to bloom enough to cover the entire balcony.

Yan Heqing put down the shovel, tilted his head, and made a request to Lu Lin. “Then I want Blue Rain.”

Lu Lin tied up the dead branches and put them into a plastic bag. He took out his phone and searched for Blue Rain. The name was Blue Rain, but it looked more like purple. He chuckled. “Okay, I’ll plant them for you.”

Immediately putting away his phone, he picked up the plastic bag to go downstairs. “Take a shower and sleep early. Flight is at 9 tomorrow.”

Unexpectedly, Yan Heqing stood up with him, looking at him with bright eyes. Lu Lin’s heart suddenly softened. Having just pruned dead branches without cleaning his hands, it was inconvenient to touch Yan Heqing’s head, so he held his hand. “Go with me to take out the trash?”

Yan Heqing held his hand back. “En.”

When going downstairs, neither of them spoke, enjoying the tranquility belonging only to the two of them. After taking out the trash and returning home, the two took a shower together again. Flying for ten hours tomorrow, Lu Lin only pressed the person down for a few kisses, then hugged him and covered him with the quilt. “Goodnight.”

Yan Heqing was also thinking about tomorrow’s flight, nodded, and closed his eyes to rest.

Waking up earlier than usual the next day, Yan Heqing woke up at five. It was too early, and he didn’t want to disturb Lu Lin’s sleep. He kissed Lu Lin’s lips lightly, got up silently to wash up, didn’t eat breakfast, left a note for Lu Lin, and set off with his luggage.

Arriving at the airport, it was still early, but there was already a long queue at the security check. After passing the security check, Yan Heqing held the plane ticket and ticket holder to find the boarding gate. Looking up at the extremely high ceiling halfway, a feeling of emptiness suddenly rose.

He missed Lu Lin very much.

Yan Heqing took out his phone. 8 o’clock. Lu Lin hadn’t contacted him yet. Was he not awake yet?

Yan Heqing couldn’t hide his disappointment. He looked at the phone for a while before putting it away.

Lu Lin booked first class. Yan Heqing didn’t go to the VIP lounge, sitting outside, touching the phone screen to light it up from time to time.

Lu Lin still hadn’t contacted him, not even on WeChat.

At this time, the broadcast announced the boarding of his flight. Yan Heqing turned off his phone directly, pressing the power button hard.

Boarding the plane, Yan Heqing’s chest was still uncomfortable. He asked the flight attendant for a thin blanket to cover his face and sleep.

Before long, someone sat down next to him.

Yan Heqing opened his eyes. Taking off soon, shouldn’t be able to make calls.

He didn’t know if this flight had wifi. Thinking about it, he still took out his phone.

Angry as he was, he still wanted to hear Lu Lin’s voice before takeoff.

Just as he pulled down the thin blanket, a cedar scent hit him. “Trying to sneak away without waking me up?”

Yan Heqing looked at Lu Lin in surprise. “Why are you here?”

It was the first time he showed such an expression. Lu Lin liked seeing it, lowered his head and kissed him, his voice smiling. “Can’t see each other for three months, how could I not send you off.”

Yan Heqing was going to the experimental base for closed study. He couldn’t leave for three months, nor could he touch his phone.

Only then did Yan Heqing realize that Lu Lin deliberately wanted to surprise him.

The depression of the past hour or two dissipated.

The corners of his mouth turned up. “A round trip takes a day and a night. Don’t bother, go back.”

Other passengers were boarding. Lu Lin pulled over the blanket, isolating the two of them inside.

Through the off-white thin blanket, wisps of light penetrated. Lu Lin pressed his forehead against Yan Heqing’s forehead.

Very close, warm breath mixed with a pleasant mint scent. “Starting work at the end of the month. When you come back, I won’t have time to pick you up even if I want to. Let me send you off?”

With the cover of the blanket, Yan Heqing hugged Lu Lin and closed his eyes with peace of mind. “En.”

The plane landed late at night. The laboratory sent someone to pick up Yan Heqing. After sending Yan Heqing into the car and leaving, Lu Lin bought the nearest flight back to the country that night. Before boarding, he received a message from his assistant.

[Mr. Lu, Old Mr. Lu had a stroke.]

After Lu Changcheng had a stroke, Lu Han wanted to notify Lu Lin immediately. Now only he was left in the Lu family, and he couldn’t make decisions. No matter how much he didn’t want to contact Lu Lin, he hoped Lu Lin would come back to take charge. Unexpectedly, seeing him take out his phone, Lu Changcheng, with half of his body unable to move and his speech unclear, still fell from the bed and pulled Lu Han’s pant leg hard.

Using all his strength to finish the last sentence, “Not allowed to spread it…”

Even if he had a stroke, he would never let Lu Lin, Yan Heqing, or anyone else see his joke!

…

Lu Lin was silent for a moment, replying to the assistant, “No need to monitor anymore.”

*

Study time always passed quickly. Only when returning to the dormitory late at night, thinking of Lu Lin, Yan Heqing would feel that time wasn’t actually that fast. He watered the succulents on the table, too tired to move, but still took a quick shower before going to bed.

After three months of busy and fulfilling study, it was October 27th in a blink of an eye.

Yan Heqing booked the ticket in advance. The one who sent him to the airport was an associate professor in the team, also a compatriot, only 29 years old this year. He had been guiding Yan Heqing for these three months and could be considered Yan Heqing’s teacher.

There was a traffic jam on the road. Arriving at the airport only an hour before takeoff, Yan Heqing took his suitcase and politely bid farewell to the associate professor. “Professor Shen, sorry to trouble you during this time.”

Professor Shen smiled. “Just treat me to a hot pot meal when back in the country.”

Yan Heqing was somewhat surprised. “You are returning to the country?”

“Next month.”

After saying goodbye to Professor Shen, Yan Heqing ran into the airport dragging his suitcase.

Arriving at the security check, Yan Heqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and dialed Lu Lin’s number. It connected quickly. He panted slightly and said, “I’m at the airport, landing at 7 tomorrow morning.”

Lu Lin asked with a smile, “Who sent you to the airport?”

“My teacher…” Yan Heqing’s voice stopped abruptly. Hearing the same noise in the receiver, his breathing suddenly stagnated. He gripped the phone tightly and turned back, seeing Lu Lin listening to the phone, smiling and standing behind him.

Yan Heqing stopped talking. Lu Lin’s voice sounded low and deep in the receiver from the front. “Did you miss me? I missed you too much, so I came.”

Surrounded by passersby coming and going, Yan Heqing stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged Lu Lin, replying in his ear personally, “Missed, missed very much.”

…

Yan Heqing bought the return ticket himself, economy class. The first class on this flight was full and couldn’t be upgraded. Lu Lin changed seats with the passenger next to Yan Heqing. The passenger agreed with a beaming smile.

During this time, in order to learn more from these industry bigwigs, Yan Heqing used 24 hours as 48 hours. He lost a whole circle of weight, his chin pointed. He hadn’t had a good sleep for three months. Sitting down, he leaned on Lu Lin’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep before the plane took off.

When he woke up, there was light outside the window. He didn’t know when he had lain on Lu Lin’s lap. He looked up and met Lu Lin’s smiling eyes. The cabin was extremely quiet, and other passengers were still sleeping.

Yan Heqing grabbed Lu Lin’s arm to get up. Lu Lin leaned into his ear and whispered, “Hungry?”

Having slept for more than five hours after a long time, Yan Heqing was very satisfied. He shook his head. “Not hungry, just want to go home and take a shower quickly.”

Lu Lin helped him tidy up his messy hair and chuckled. “Soon, landing in 20 minutes.”

20 minutes later, the plane landed at the Capital International Airport on time.

Lu Lin’s Maybach was parked in the airport parking lot. Picking up the luggage and getting in the car, Lu Lin took the highway and arrived at the house in the family area half an hour earlier than usual.

The moment he pushed open the door, Yan Heqing saw the “flower window” on the balcony at first glance.

Lu Lin did it.

A new checkered wooden frame was made outside the balcony. The morning sun drilled in through the gaps of flowers and leaves, casting mottled light circles on the wooden floor. Large purple-blue roses bloomed all over the balcony. The living room entrance was filled with a faint floral fragrance. Yan Heqing turned back in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Lin closed the door, put down the suitcase, pressed him against the door panel, and kissed him like a storm.

Yan Heqing also encircled Lu Lin’s neck, responding enthusiastically.

Until the sound of going upstairs and talking came from outside the door, Lu Lin let go of Yan Heqing and kissed the tip of his nose. “You go take a shower first.”

Yan Heqing’s lips were kissed hot. Entering the bathroom, he realized that both lips were a bit swollen. Yan Heqing’s earlobes were burning hot. He found a white plum scented bath bomb in the cabinet, took a shower, and soaked in the bathtub for 15 minutes.

Not seeing each other for three months, Yan Heqing was somewhat aroused.

He didn’t change into loungewear and came out in a bathrobe.

But he was stunned as soon as he came out of the bathroom.

On the floor outside the door, Cubes of Light of different sizes were placed scattered. Sunlight shone through the gauze curtains, and the Cubes of Light refracted colorful light spots. The whole room fell into dreamy light and shadow.

Yan Heqing walked slowly to the living room.

Lu Lin was in the living room. At his feet were piled gift boxes of various sizes wrapped in colorful paper, and a multi-layer cake.

On each layer of the cake was a lifelike beluga whale, corresponding to the size of the cake.

Yan Heqing counted for two seconds. A total of 19 layers.

Gifts too, 19 portions.

Lu Lin came over with a golden birthday hat, put it on the stunned Yan Heqing’s head, his eyes full of thick smiles that couldn’t be dissolved. “Happy birthday, baby.”

Yan Heqing’s heart was sour and numb, as if soaked in a cup of summer lemon ice water for a long time, very sour, and very sweet.

Lu Lin hugged him and whispered in his ear, “I was absent for your birthdays in the first 18 years. Can I make it up to you now? Happy birthday to one-year-old Yan Heqing, happy birthday to two-year-old Yan Heqing…”

…

“Happy birthday to eighteen-year-old Yan Heqing, happy birthday to nineteen-year-old Yan Heqing.”

Yan Heqing’s eyes turned red. He hugged Lu Lin back and said softly, “Today is not my birthday.”

Lu Lin let go of him, his expression complicated. “What?”

“The date on the ID card was randomly reported by Yan Shengbing. My birthday is November 8th.”

“…”

Lu Lin was speechless.

Lu Lin’s face was reflected in Yan Heqing’s eyes. He looked at him deeply, seemingly for a long time, yet seemingly only for a second or two. A brilliant arc appeared on the corner of his lips.

“But I like today’s birthday.”

“From now on, every year on this day, you make up a birthday for me, okay? Make it up until you and I have white hair and lost teeth, you still have to make it up for me.”

“Can you, Lu Lin?” He asked solemnly.

Lu Lin finally came back to his senses. He raised his hand, very lightly and gently rubbing the top of Yan Heqing’s head.

“With pleasure.”

Crazy sickly fishing beauty shou (with heartthrob attributes) X younger pseudo-playboy black-bellied gong

When Xu Huizhou was 4, his mother committed suicide. When he was 5, his father committed suicide.

Everyone avoided him like snakes and scorpions. No one was willing to adopt him.

Entering the orphanage, he met four little boys who were willing to be friends with him.

Not long after, the news that Xu Huizhou had a suicide gene spread in the orphanage. Other little boys were adopted one after another, only Xu Huizhou stayed in the orphanage forever.

In high school, Xu Huizhou reunited with them. Xu Huizhou discovered their respective secrets.

When the college entrance examination results came out, he was the top scorer in science in the city. The four agreed to travel to celebrate for him.

But they didn’t know that this trip was a death trip carefully customized for Xu Huizhou.

In the deep mountains and old forests, Xu Huizhou was pushed off the cliff.

Four friends brought back his suicide note. They cried bitterly, “He really inherited his parents’ suicide gene.”

Xu Huizhou spent hellish days at the bottom of the cliff and finally survived.

It’s just that his body was already riddled with holes, and he became a “dead person” who no longer existed.

Xu Huizhou swore.

The harm they inflicted on him, he would definitely return double in the future.

*

Ten years later, Xu Huizhou returned.

Of the four people back then, one “married” into the wealthy Lu family and did charity all over the world; one was a big star with countless fans; one was a big company boss living a comfortable life; one was a famous psychologist, highly respected.

On the big screen at the airport, the big star confessed with tears at the concert, “Lu Ze, I’m ready to get married, what about you?”

——

The first time Lu Ze saw Xu Huizhou, what he saw first was the little rose tattooed on his right ankle.

The man with skin like moonlight won the car race. Amidst the cheers of hundreds of people, he lay on the roof of the car with bare feet, panting slightly.

That rose danced with his breathing, enchanting and glamorous under the moonlight.

Seeing Xu Huizhou again, his grandfather was critically ill. His third uncle brought back Xu Huizhou, his face full of joy, “He is my biological son who was lost outside, Xu Huizhou!”

According to seniority, Lu Ze had to call him, Third Brother.

Small theater:

In the unmanned swimming pool late at night, Lu Ze pulled Xu Huizhou into the water. “If you want to seduce me, carry it through to the end.”

Xu Huizhou smiled. “You know, I’m a liar.”

Lu Ze approached. “Bribe me, I’ll cover for you.”

Water splashed, soaking the rose on Xu Huizhou’s ankle, making it more gorgeous and moving.

Later, Xu Huizhou told Lu Ze that it wasn’t a rose, it was a spider lily.

He walked through the spider lilies and came back from hell.
