Chapter 41#
The person pursuing Yan Heqing isn’t a woman, but a man?
Lin Fengzhi’s heartbeat accelerated.
So Yan Heqing also likes men?!
Yan Heqing looked calm, “Yeah, there’s a project to discuss with a classmate.” His clear gaze fell lightly on Lin Fengzhi, “What’s wrong with you?”
Lin Fengzhi felt a bit awkward. So that’s what Yan Heqing meant. He had thought…
He shook his head, “Nothing, let’s go.”
Yan Heqing followed unhurriedly.
There was a men’s clothing store ahead. Lin Fengzhi went in familiarly. The clerk knew him and greeted him warmly, “Young Master Lin, we were just about to send the new spring collection catalog to your residence. Why did you come in person today?”
Lin Fengzhi showed a bright smile, “It’s nice to come and browse occasionally.”
He walked towards the central display case, where a mannequin was wearing a classic dark blue long trench coat.
Lin Fengzhi immediately imagined how Lu Lin would look wearing it. It would suit him perfectly!
Lu Lin had superior height and temperament. He had never seen anyone more suitable for wearing a long trench coat than Lu Lin.
He changed his mind again. How about giving a trench coat?
“How about this one?” Lin Fengzhi turned around, only to find that Yan Heqing hadn’t followed. He looked around in confusion and found Yan Heqing on the other side looking at a creamy white mid-length coat. He trotted over.
Yan Heqing was looking at a creamy white mid-length coat.
Lin Fengzhi’s gaze wandered between the coat and Yan Heqing, his eyes gradually brightening, “Brother, you have really good taste. This coat is nice!”
The clerk quickly stepped forward to introduce, “This is this year’s new early spring model. It uses a sable-like process, creating a water ripple effect under any light and angle. The purely hand-stitched double-faced cashmere is also very light, thin, and warm.”
She smiled, “Currently, there is only this one S size in the store. The store in the South District has an L size. Other places haven’t stocked it yet.”
Lin Fengzhi directly told the clerk, “Take it down for him to try.”
Yan Heqing withdrew his gaze from the 120,000 price tag and stopped the clerk, “No need.”
Lin Fengzhi blinked his eyelashes, “Why? It will definitely fit you.”
The clerk quietly sized up Yan Heqing. He looked somewhat similar to Lin Fengzhi around the eyes and brows, but was a few centimeters taller, and his temperament was completely different. They looked like brothers, yet not quite alike.
Moreover, Yan Heqing’s clothes were ordinary. Having been in the industry for over a decade, she could recognize the fabric at a glance.
The quality of Yan Heqing’s jacket was at most two or three hundred yuan, but he wore the clothes with a sense of quality, so they didn’t look cheap.
What exactly was their relationship?
Was this pampered young master of the Lin family going to buy it for him?
Selling a piece of clothing worth over a hundred thousand yuan would give a commission of nearly a thousand. The clerk certainly didn’t want to miss the opportunity. Of course, she also genuinely thought Yan Heqing suited this coat very well. This coat was a style that required temperament, suitable for tall, thin, and fair-skinned men.
She was one part sales pitch, nine parts sincere, “Yes, you will definitely look good in it.” She gestured for the two to look at the latest poster in the store, “I guarantee you’ll look even better than the model. Just try it on, it only takes a few minutes. If it doesn’t fit, it won’t waste any time.”
Yan Heqing smiled faintly and still declined politely. He looked at Lin Fengzhi, “Do you see anything you like?”
Lin Fengzhi immediately dragged Yan Heqing to look at the trench coat. He found an excuse, “I plan to buy it for my eldest brother. He’s 31, a mature man, works as a vice president in my family’s company, tall, with a steady temperament. Do you think it’s suitable?”
Yan Heqing knew he wanted to give it to Lu Lin. He glanced lightly at the trench coat, “It depends on your eldest brother’s preference.”
“He should like it…” Lin Fengzhi was very uncertain. He didn’t have many chances to see Lu Lin, sometimes just a glance from afar. He completely didn’t know Lu Lin’s preferences.
It was all Lu Muchi’s fault. Being Lu Lin’s nephew, he didn’t know any information about Lu Lin!
Suddenly thinking of Lu Muchi, Lin Fengzhi lost his mood.
He actually said he wasn’t good enough for Lu Lin!
In vain, he had always considered Lu Muchi his best friend!
Lin Fengzhi let go of Yan Heqing, “Forget it, let’s go look at other stores.”
Walking all the way, Lin Fengzhi bought a sweater worth tens of thousands for Father Lin, a clutch bag worth over a hundred thousand for Mother Lin, and gifts for his friends.
Finally, wandering into a luxury brand store, Lin Fengzhi recovered. He ran to the tie display cabinet and spotted a royal blue dark floral twill tie at a glance.
Lin Fengzhi didn’t ask Yan Heqing this time and bought it directly, “Wrap this one!” Then he casually wrapped two other ties for his eldest and second brothers.
He tilted his head, “The ties are for my eldest and second brothers…”
At this time, he finally realized that he had bought so many New Year gifts, and he should also buy one for Yan Heqing. He pointed to the display cabinet, “You pick one too, I’ll give it to you!”
Yan Heqing smiled, “I don’t use ties.”
“Then a wallet.” Lin Fengzhi pointed to the glass cabinet on the other side, “Their wallets are also nice.”
“I don’t use wallets either.” Yan Heqing took out his phone to check the time, “Go eat after buying?”
Lin Fengzhi had another flash of inspiration, “You don’t have a watch, right? I’ll give you a watch!”
“A phone is enough. Nowadays, wearing a watch is mostly for decoration.” Yan Heqing went with the flow and guided the topic to the answer he wanted, “Didn’t you stop wearing yours too? I remember the watch you wore last time was very exquisite.”
Mentioning the watch made Lin Fengzhi angry.
He wouldn’t wear that white ceramic one anymore. He wouldn’t touch anything Lu Muchi gave him again!
Who cares!
He had forgotten about this recently. He would organize everything when he got home and return it all to Lu Muchi!
Lin Fengzhi shook his head, “Don’t mention it. That friend and I… no, we are not friends anymore. We fell out. I won’t wear the things he gave me.”
Yan Heqing got the information and didn’t say anything more.
At this time, the clerk came over with the wrapped ties and handed them over with a smile, “We also have other new arrivals. Would you two like to take another look?”
“No more looking.” Lin Fengzhi took the paper bag. He was now full of thoughts about returning things to Lu Muchi immediately. He turned and said to Yan Heqing, “I have something to do and need to go home first. Let’s eat next time!”
Yan Heqing’s expression remained indifferent, “Okay.”
Leaving the mall, after waving for a long time without hailing a taxi, Lin Fengzhi called his driver directly. After hanging up, he turned sideways to face Yan Heqing, “My driver will be here in about twenty minutes. I’ll drop you off at your friend’s house first.” He reminded again, “Don’t forget to take a picture of the shampoo brand for me.”
Yan Heqing was noncommittal, “I still have things to do, won’t wait for the car with you.”
Lin Fengzhi stared, “Not leaving together?” He was a bit disappointed; he wanted to chat more with Yan Heqing. He switched hands to carry the bags and scratched his chin, “Alright then. You didn’t want any gifts today. When you have a gift you want, just tell me directly, and I’ll buy it for you.”
Yan Heqing didn’t reply. After saying “Stay safe,” he turned and left.
Lin Fengzhi looked at Yan Heqing’s tall and slender back, feeling a bit envious. He was less than 180cm. They were clearly twins, so why was he shorter than Yan Heqing…
However, he soon forgot about this matter, withdrew his gaze, took out his phone, and snapped pictures of the paper bags.
Posted on Moments—
“Big harvest today!”
Yan Heqing followed the map and entered an ordinary shopping mall. He went into a fast-fashion store and searched for a long time before finding a beige coat. The style was simple, and the fabric felt smooth and warm, but the price was a bit expensive, over 800. Yan Heqing calculated his balance in his mind and bought it anyway. He also picked a few inner layers, two pairs of pants, and a box of discounted underwear.
Carrying several paper bags out of the store, Yan Heqing’s balance was reduced by 1500.
The basement floor of the mall was a food court and a supermarket. Yan Heqing took the escalator down, found an affordable small shop to settle lunch, and then went to the supermarket.
He stored his things in a locker and took a shopping cart for the first time.
There was a 90% chance that Lu Muchi was looking for him everywhere now. He couldn’t go home for the time being, and hotels would be checked. Staying at Lu Lin’s house was currently the better choice.
During the lunch break, Yan Heqing sent a WeChat message to Lu Lin.
[Mr. Lu, you don’t need to hire a housekeeper these few days. I’ll clean the room to pay for the rent.]
Lu Lin was eating lunch. The phone on the coffee table dinged. He picked up the phone and saw it was 52 Hertz before clicking into WeChat. Seeing the content, his eyes flickered slightly. “Okay.”
Yan Heqing sent another message, “Someone likes the smell of your shampoo and wants me to take a picture of the shampoo bottle for him. Is that okay?”
The reply popped up, Lu Lin’s eyebrows moved slightly, “Your date?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s for men.”
Yan Heqing picked up a cabbage and replied with a voice message this time, “Yeah, he is male.”
The boy’s voice was clear and bright, with a hint of nasal sound from a lingering cold, sounding softly in the large office, a bit like a kitten’s meow.
Lu Lin picked up his coffee, took a sip, and also replied with a voice message, “Okay.”
Receiving the reply, Yan Heqing didn’t reply again. He put away his phone, compared and selected, and put another fresh cabbage into the cart.
Coming out of the supermarket, Yan Heqing’s hands were full.
It was not yet four o’clock, but the sky was dark and heavy. The wind blew the landscape trees, making a whistling sound, as if a storm was coming.
The things were not heavy. Yan Heqing followed the road he came from, stepping under the streetlights that had just turned on, back to Lu Lin’s residence. Arriving at the elevator, he entered the password, and the elevator door opened, going straight to the top floor.
The lights turned on instantly. The room was very quiet.
Lu Lin hadn’t returned yet.
Yan Heqing put down the things and changed his shoes. Looking down, the floor mat was different from the morning. The disposable slippers he wore yesterday were gone, replaced by a pair of beige home slippers, not Lu Lin’s size.
Yan Heqing took off his shoes and slipped into the home slippers. The size was just right.
Leaving the paper bag with clothes, Yan Heqing carried the fresh meat, eggs, and milk he bought to the kitchen.
Opening the refrigerator, it was also different from the morning. In the morning, there was only mineral water. Now, it was stacked with a dazzling array of fresh vegetables and a few boxes of blueberries.
On the other side, Lin Fengzhi had arrived home early. He went straight upstairs, piled the paper bags onto the table, and ran to the room where he kept gifts to pack.
Game consoles, limited edition sneakers, binoculars, watches… star certificates…
Packed two full boxes.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Fengzhi’s forehead. He didn’t stop, holding two large boxes, panting as he went downstairs again, got into the car, and ordered the driver, “Go to Lu Muchi’s house!”
Lin Fengzhi used to go to Lu Muchi’s place often to hang out. It wasn’t far from the Lin family home.
Arrived in about ten minutes. Lu Muchi bought it specifically.
It was also a villa. The sky was dim, and the lights in the villa were not on. Lin Fengzhi didn’t get out of the car and waited for Lu Muchi in the car.
As a result, this wait lasted directly until night.
Almost nine o’clock, Lu Muchi hadn’t returned yet.
Lin Fengzhi was hungry. He bit his lip, simply took out his phone, removed Lu Muchi from the blacklist, and called him.
Beep, beep…
Lin Fengzhi was a bit surprised; it actually connected.
However, after a few rings, the call was cut off.
Lin Fengzhi’s temper flared instantly. He didn’t wait anymore, opened the door and got out of the car, holding the two boxes of things, and threw them directly at the door of Lu Muchi’s villa, scattering them all over the ground.
He returned to the car angrily, “Go home!”
The driver was starving and overjoyed, starting the car and speeding away.
Buzz.
Lin Fengzhi’s phone vibrated again, and a WeChat message came in.
