Chapter 79#
Lin Fengyi didn’t let it slip. He was very surprised at how sharp Lin Fengzhi’s reaction was today. However, chasing after Yan Heqing was something he didn’t even want to admit to himself, let alone tell Lin Fengzhi.
He coughed a few times, his tone weak: “Yes, went to Huaishan to climb the mountain with friends.”
Lin Fengzhi was skeptical. Went to Huaishan to climb the mountain so coincidentally? But going to Huaishan specifically made even less sense. It couldn’t be that he wanted to meet Yan Heqing by chance.
Probably he overreacted.
During this time, he was stressed about everything related to Yan Heqing!
Thinking of Yan Heqing again, Lin Fengzhi immediately started to feel depressed.
Yan Heqing actually hadn’t replied to his WeChat message for so long.
Gu Xingye even sent him a photo of some Ranunculus aquatilis yesterday. Yan Heqing definitely wasn’t unable to contact him due to no signal in the mountains; he was ignoring him on purpose.
Angry? Because of that sentence he said?
But it was clearly Yan Heqing who did wrong.
He didn’t want to hide their relationship. If Yan Heqing had told him in advance so he wouldn’t be so embarrassed in front of Gu Xingye, he would never have questioned him.
“Drink it.” Shoving the milk to Lin Fengyi, Lin Fengzhi sat on the edge of the bed, “So you met Yan Heqing in Huaishan?”
Lin Fengyi didn’t want to drink, putting it back on the bedside table, “Met him!”
He gritted his back teeth weakly. Better not to have met!
Lin Fengzhi nodded, “They went for a field internship, Gu Xingye was also there.”
Mentioning Gu Xingye, Lin Fengyi was equally unhappy, “I know, he was with Yan Heqing.”
Lin Fengzhi pressed, “Are they often together?”
“Of course, their relationship is good.” Lin Fengyi sneered, “That kid Gu Xingye, just has a glib tongue.”
Lin Fengzhi fell silent. Forcing Lin Fengyi to finish the milk, he left the room to make a call.
He called Gu Xingye.
“Let Yan Heqing listen.”
Gu Xingye chuckled, “Can I interpret this as you quarreled with him?”
Lin Fengzhi was annoyed by this point of Gu Xingye; nothing could be hidden from him. Currently, his deepest secret was never mentioning Lu Lin in front of Gu Xingye, otherwise he would definitely be discovered, “Yes, isn’t it all because of you!”
“Me?” Gu Xingye paused for a few seconds, understood, and was somewhat helpless, “He didn’t tell me. I saw your call on the second day of the Lunar New Year and guessed blindly.”
Lin Fengzhi was instantly dumbfounded, “You guessed blindly?!” Then didn’t he wrong Yan Heqing! He complained, “Why did you guess blindly for no reason!”
Gu Xingye knew without asking that Lin Fengzhi must have gone to question Yan Heqing. He rubbed his forehead, “Told you earlier not to be reckless. Suspecting him like this, it’s only natural for him to be angry.”
Lin Fengzhi was in the wrong, holding back for a long time, “All your fault.”
“Yes, all my fault.” Gu Xingye asked with a smile, “But he won’t blame me. How do you plan to apologize?”
Lin Fengzhi shook his head, “Don’t know, help me think.”
Gu Xingye had no ideas for a moment either. Apart from studying, Yan Heqing seemed to treat only that Mr. Lu differently. He really couldn’t tell his preferences, “Talk about it when I get back. Arriving at 6 PM this Sunday.”
Lin Fengzhi hung up the phone.
He felt a bit guilty now, especially when clicking open WeChat and seeing his last questioning sentence. He scratched his face, typed a string of apologies, and deleted them quickly.
He couldn’t say it…
And strictly speaking, Yan Heqing wasn’t entirely without responsibility. If he didn’t do it, why didn’t he explain? Letting him misunderstand… Now it’s great, he misunderstood for so long, how could he have the nerve to apologize…
Lin Fengzhi’s face fell. He put away his phone and went to the kitchen.
Lin Fengyi was sick. Today Mother Lin personally cooked a sick meal for him. Lin Fengzhi walked into the kitchen and hugged Mother Lin from behind, “Mom.”
Mother Lin was making soup. She asked with a smile, “Hungry?”
“No.” Lin Fengzhi’s voice was muffled. He opened his mouth but still didn’t say it, letting go of Mother Lin, “I won’t eat at home.”
Mother Lin turned around with a ladle, “Have a date?” Full of interest, “Which cute little girl is it? When will you bring her home?”
Lin Fengzhi wanted to go out to feed stray cats and relax. Hearing Mother Lin say this, he suddenly wanted to see Lu Lin crazily.
Because of Lu Muchi’s rejection of the marriage, he didn’t dare to find Lu Lin during this time. Now that the matter was resolved, why shouldn’t he go see him!
His mood recovered instantly. Lin Fengzhi happily kissed Mother Lin on the cheek, “I love you so much, Mom! Leaving!”
Mother Lin was confused, then laughed after a moment. Really getting more like a child as he grows up.
Lin Fengzhi drove to the Lu Group.
Lu Lin always worked overtime. He would be at the company at this time!
Lu Group Headquarters, only Lu Lin remained in the office.
His eyes were deep, thinking about the conversation in the early morning.
In the hospital elevator shaft in the early morning, Lu Muchi’s butler saw Lu Lin waiting for him, rushed forward, and bowed respectfully, “Mr. Lu, you are here.”
Lu Lin was simple and direct, “What do you want with me.”
He was asking about last Sunday when the butler was looking for his number everywhere.
The butler trembled inside. Even if given a hundred guts, he would never leak Lu Muchi’s private affairs, but…
Stealing a glance at Lu Lin, the butler had to pick something less serious to say, “The Young Master had a dispute with a friend that day. I was worried something would happen and wanted to contact you. I worried too much. The Young Master reconciled with his friend very quickly, and nothing happened.”
Lu Lin’s tone was steady, “Nothing happened, meaning he is now in the hospital?”
The butler was scared out of his wits. Now he dared not hide anything and told everything in detail.
Except for Yan Heqing’s name.
The butler didn’t know Yan Heqing’s name, “He seems to be the Young Master’s new boyfriend.”
…
Lu Lin’s eyes were deep.
He didn’t care about Lu Muchi’s private affairs, including Xu Qiaoyin’s whereabouts.
Under his nose, he could lend a hand. If not, it wasn’t his concern.
Only that new boyfriend of Lu Muchi.
He cared a little.
It was the first time he knew about Lu Muchi’s sexual orientation, but the word “new” was enough to show there were many before. Dating not long ago, why help Xu Qiaoyin?
Knew each other before?
Lu Lin had an answer in his mind.
But lacked a key reason.
He picked up the coffee and took a sip. At this time, the phone lit up.
WeChat notification, message from 52 Hertz.
4 words—“Eating dinner.”
This was the first time Yan Heqing proactively contacted him besides sending the mini-program and installment transfers.
Lu Lin checked the time, seven o’clock. He dialed Yan Heqing’s number.
Rang for a few seconds, connected.
“Have you eaten?” Lu Lin took a small spray bottle and sprayed some water on the succulent.
“Eaten.” Yan Heqing’s side was very quiet, “Improved potatoes grown by the teacher, not tasty.”
Then asked: “Have you eaten?”
The boy’s voice was clear, indescribably pleasant to hear. Lu Lin put down the small spray bottle, rubbed his Adam’s apple twice, got up and took his coat, draped it over his arm and walked out, “On the way.”
A female voice suddenly inserted into the receiver, “Yan Heqing!”
Lu Lin’s eyebrows moved slightly, “Zhou Wuyou.”
It was indeed Zhou Wuyou. She handed Yan Heqing a record sheet, which was her report on the firefly cave.
Zhou Wuyou packed up her broken-hearted mood and smiled brightly at Yan Heqing, “Thanks for organizing it!”
Yan Heqing responded politely. It should be that Zhou Wuyou left. After a while, his voice appeared on the phone again, “Mn, I’m consolidating the observation reports of the firefly cave.”
That night in the mountains, everyone didn’t introduce their names, only Zhao Yong introduced himself specially.
But Yan Heqing didn’t ask how Lu Lin knew Zhou Wuyou’s name.
Lu Lin didn’t mention it either. Entering the elevator and pressing the underground parking lot, the elevator descended at a constant speed.
He didn’t want to end this call, but obviously Yan Heqing was busy.
His voice lowered a few notches, “Study hard, there’s a reward when you come back.”
He didn’t say what the reward was.
Yan Heqing didn’t ask either, only telling him the return time.
Arriving at Peking University at 6 PM on Sunday.
Lu Lin put away his phone, and the elevator door opened, arriving at the underground parking lot.
Driving out of the parking space, he was moving forward and about to turn when a figure suddenly rushed out from the dark and blocked his car.
A sudden brake, and the sensor lights in the parking lot lit up one after another.
Lu Lin’s eyebrows furrowed heavily.
In front of the car, Lin Fengzhi was also in shock. It was his first time stopping a car, and he didn’t judge the speed well. If Lu Lin hadn’t braked in time, he would have almost crashed directly into it. His heart thumped. Only when footsteps approached did he come back to his senses and turn his head.
The parking lot lights were dim, but the moment he saw Lu Lin, Lin Fengzhi’s legs still went soft. He quickly supported himself on the hood to stand firm.
“Uncle Lu…” His eyes turned red instantly.
He already missed Lu Lin very much when he didn’t see him. Seeing him, he realized how much he missed Lu Lin! He wanted to throw himself into his arms immediately…
A large area of Lin Fengzhi’s back neck turned red.
Lu Lin didn’t make a sound.
Only then did Lin Fengzhi stand straight and take a deep breath, “Don’t you remember me? At Grandpa Lu’s banquet last time, you even called me.”
Lu Lin spoke, “Lin Fengzhi.”
Lin Fengzhi’s pupils were surprisingly bright. Uncle Lu remembered him! He stammered with joy, “Yes, I am Lin Fengzhi!”
Lu Lin recited a string of numbers. Lin Fengzhi couldn’t remember them. He nervously fumbled for his phone, “Can you slow down? I…”
Lu Lin glanced at him, went back to the car to get a pen and a note, scribbled a few strokes, came back and handed the note to Lin Fengzhi, “Go to this hospital for a check-up. If there’s a problem, someone will treat it.”
Lin Fengzhi held the note dumbfounded, “No, I…”
Lu Lin said in a deep voice, “If there is a next time, I will call the police.”
“Uncle Lu, you misunderstood, I am…”
Without waiting for Lin Fengzhi to explain, Lu Lin got in the car, drove around him and left.
Lin Fengzhi wanted to cry but had no tears. He clenched the note in disappointment. But after a moment, a light flashed in his mind. Unfolding the crumpled note and staring at the string of numbers, he thought of an excellent idea.
If he had “problems”, Lu Lin would have to be responsible! Wouldn’t that mean intimate contact?!
Lin Fengzhi turned grief into joy. Perhaps Lu Lin wasn’t wrong; deep down, he just wanted to touch porcelain (scam) him like this…
For love, using a little trick is forgivable, right! Lin Fengzhi smiled and took out his phone to save the number on the note.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend.
Yan Heqing was the last to get on the bus this time. It was bumpy on the way here. Everyone knew that sitting in the last row was terribly uncomfortable, so no one wanted to sit there again. There was only one boy in the last position. He walked to the end and sat in the window seat on the other side.
Passing by Gu Xingye, Gu Xingye glanced at him.
Yan Heqing didn’t wear headphones after sitting down. Last time he got carsick because of listening to vocabulary. He opened the organized group observation report and wanted to check it again. He read intently and seriously. Unknown how much time passed, the phone vibrated in his pocket.
Taking out the phone, the call was from a local strange number.
The tail number was 7777.
Yan Heqing guessed who it was. He closed the report, guessing Lu Changcheng’s intention. If he discovered Xu Qiaoyin’s matter, the first person to contact him wouldn’t be Lu Changcheng, but Lu Muchi.
Most likely, it was for Lu Muchi.
Yan Heqing didn’t rush to answer the phone. When it was about to end, he swiped the answer button, “Hello.”
Lu Changcheng was very satisfied with Yan Heqing’s politeness. He smiled, “Young man, I am Lu Changcheng. Contacting you today, there is something I need your help with. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to help for free.”
Yan Heqing was neither humble nor arrogant, “Please speak.”
“Muchi is sick, quite serious, threw a tantrum. Come to the hospital to see him tomorrow. You young people have no generation gap, easy to communicate. I’ll send someone to pick you up, or you can come directly.”
Just as Yan Heqing was about to reply, a boy in front suddenly screamed.
“Holy shit! A Koenigsegg actually appeared on this kind of mountain road!”
“The real car is black and super handsome! Is this CCX or CCXR?”
Followed by the increasingly lively discussion of boys about famous cars.
Yan Heqing covered the receiver and replied after a few seconds: “I’ll go over after school tomorrow.”
Hanging up the phone, Yan Heqing continued to check the observation report. Only when the bus stopped steadily did he put away the report and get off behind his classmates.
Just as his foot stepped on the ground, the phone rang.
This time it was Lu Lin.
Yan Heqing picked up, Lu Lin’s voice was close at hand, “Turn around to receive the reward.”
Yan Heqing turned around.
Not far away, Lu Lin stood in front of a black car, facing him and talking on the phone.
