Chapter 97#
Lin Fengzhi’s pupils instantly shattered.
He couldn’t believe these words came from Lu Lin’s mouth.
The aloof, noble Lu Lin… actually said such words, humble as dust.
Impossible!
Lin Fengzhi didn’t believe it. He deceived himself and went to take out his phone. In his flurry, the phone fell from his palm. He nervously squatted down to pick it up, tears streaming down his face, falling to the ground one after another, “Don’t you believe me? I didn’t lie to you, I have a video, Yan Heqing went to…”
When he grabbed the phone and eagerly clicked on the video screenshot, he looked up and Lu Lin was already gone. The assistant pushed open the glass door, and Lu Lin walked out. The lights at the entrance were bright, and it was at this moment that Lin Fengzhi saw the bracelet flashing on Lu Lin’s wrist.
A red bean bracelet.
Lin Fengzhi had seen it before. The city where he went for his high school graduation trip was full of red bean bracelets, and his friends teased him to buy one for his sweetheart.
At that time, he flatly refused. How could Lu Lin be willing to wear a red bean bracelet?
Lin Fengzhi’s gaze gradually scattered, finally leaving only a void.
The whole world turned black and white. Even when the phone fell to the ground, he didn’t react. He slowly got up and walked out of the coffee shop.
The night in the city center was equally lively, with heavy traffic. Lin Fengzhi walked forward like a walking dead, lost in soul.
Suddenly, there was a dazzling white light. Lin Fengzhi was pulled back forcefully. After several sudden brakes, someone rolled down the car window and cursed, “Go somewhere else if you want to die! Don’t come out to harm people!”
Lin Fengzhi’s reason finally returned, realizing that he had just broken into the traffic flow. His heart was beating with the feeling of surviving a disaster. Pale-faced, he turned his head to look at the person who saved him. At this moment, he still held a last shred of hope that Lu Lin was worried about him and came back to find him.
As a result, just as he turned his face, a slap landed heavily on his face.
In his blurred vision, he saw Mother Lin crying for the second time: “Zhizhi, are you crazy! Lu Lin is your brother’s man!”
Lin Fengzhi’s brain went bang, exploding into a blank.
Mom knows…
——
The elevator door opened, and Lu Lin first smelled the rich aroma of bone soup. He changed his shoes and entered the room, seeing Yan Heqing typing on the keyboard. The meatballs and vegetables for the hot pot were already arranged on the dining table, and the bone soup was bubbling.
Yan Heqing also knew that Lu Lin was back, but his work was about to end. He looked at the screen and typed faster, without turning back, “Are you hungry? I still have five minutes…”
Before he finished speaking, his shoulder sank. Lu Lin rested his chin on his left shoulder, put the blueberries on the table, and circled him and the chair with both hands, his warm breath spraying behind his ear, “Not hungry, waiting for you to finish.”
Yan Heqing sped up his typing again.
He finished in three minutes and spent two minutes checking. After confirming there were no errors, he sent it to Party A.
Only then did Lu Lin speak, “I want to claim the reward from the last card game.”
Yan Heqing noticed that Lu Lin was in a bad mood. Like the last time at the furniture city, he was smiling but not happy. Was something not handled well? Yan Heqing guessed and was about to turn his head, but was held in place by Lu Lin. Lu Lin kissed him lightly behind his ear, “Use my supplementary card from now on. Your time is very precious, don’t waste it on these trivial matters.”
His long eyelashes fluttered. Yan Heqing closed the laptop. The screen quickly darkened, reflecting Lu Lin’s profile.
He closed his eyes and was kissing him.
A simple kiss, completely different from the desire-filled kiss in the morning. It was more like a small beast was injured and returned to its only harbor, and his harbor comforted him with a gentle kiss.
Yan Heqing said softly, “This doesn’t look like your reward, it looks like mine.”
Lu Lin truly laughed this time. He lifted his eyelids, “That’s also true, what’s mine is yours.”
Yan Heqing thought quietly for a few seconds.
He had planned to stop taking orders after finishing these few and paying back the medical expenses he owed Lu Lin. His savings were enough to support his daily expenses in college. He wanted to concentrate on experiments and get the quota.
“Okay.” He nodded.
Lu Lin laughed, “Since you accepted the card, you have to use it.”
Yan Heqing suddenly said, “Then I’ll have to go to the wholesale market to buy groceries in the future.”
Quick-witted as Lu Lin was, it took him a few seconds to realize that Yan Heqing was teasing him. Ordinary retail vegetable markets didn’t accept credit cards; one had to go to the large wholesale markets.
Knowing how to joke was a good sign.
Lu Lin rubbed the top of Yan Heqing’s hair and recited a string of letters and numbers, “WeChat password and payment password. There’s some loose change in it, use it together.”
Lu Lin let go of Yan Heqing and took the blueberries to the kitchen, “Do you have time this weekend?”
Yan Heqing pulled out the chair, got up and put away the laptop. After a while, Lu Lin came back with the washed blueberries. Yan Heqing had arranged to stay in the laboratory on Saturday, “I have time on the weekend, going fishing?”
“Want to fish?” Lu Lin put down the blueberries and curled his lips knowingly, “Arranged for next week. Go see a doctor this week?”
Yan Heqing had a cold constitution, and he cared about it very much.
Yan Heqing had forgotten about this matter. He knew that he was born with a cold constitution, and his hands and feet were cold even in the hot summer. However, since Lu Lin wanted him to see a doctor, he didn’t want to refuse, “Okay.”
After dinner, Yan Heqing finished all the blueberries and rested for a while before going back to the master bedroom to take a shower.
Lu Lin went to the study, logged into his email, and opened the email sent at 7:30 in the evening.
Not long, just a few legally ineffective agreements.
Not long after, the assistant called.
“President Lu, one person agreed.” Even though the assistant had seen all kinds of storms with Lu Lin over the years, he was still shocked by Cheng Jian’s fetishes.
Changing bed partners was the most ordinary thing. More often it was 3p, 4p, men and women, all kinds of unimaginable ways to play.
The most inhumane thing was that some people were coerced, or sent to Cheng Jian’s bed, or forced by Cheng Jian.
Afterwards, for various reasons, no one sued Cheng Jian.
The one who agreed to sue Cheng Jian now was a 25-year-old male. He was a somewhat famous male star in the entertainment industry and announced his retirement last year.
The official reason was going abroad for study and recharge, but in reality, he was forced by Cheng Jian. He suffered from depression and attempted suicide several times, completely unable to attend events.
He hated Cheng Jian to death, but could do nothing about him.
That night he was drunk by Cheng Jian, his consciousness was blurred and he didn’t resist. Afterwards, Cheng Jian was also very experienced and didn’t leave any semen.
“Do you really have a way to make Cheng Jian punished?” A tiny cluster of hope slowly ignited in the male star’s lifeless eyes.
“Not me.” The assistant said firmly, “It’s our President Lu. As long as you are willing to stand up, he definitely can.”
The male star was silent for a long time, then nodded, “I have nothing left to lose. As long as I can take revenge on Cheng Jian, I am willing to do anything, even die!”
……
Lu Lin hung up the phone. The male star’s words inevitably made him think of Yan Heqing.
He hadn’t smoked for a long time. He opened the drawer; there was an unopened pack of cigarettes.
A few seconds later, he closed it again.
From the pen holder on the table, he poured out a few candies, fruit candies wrapped in laser paper.
He didn’t like sweets, but when he was upset, a candy could quickly calm him down.
Lu Lin took a yellow candy. If it wasn’t pineapple, it was banana flavor.
Just as he put it in his mouth, there was a knock on the door.
The door wasn’t closed. Turning his head, he saw Yan Heqing standing at the door. The young man who had just finished bathing smelled of cedar from the inside out, his hair tips slightly curled, wearing a loose T-shirt and loose shorts, not deliberately covering the scars on his legs.
“I’m going to sleep.” The corners of Yan Heqing’s mouth curved slightly, “Came to say goodnight.”
The sweet and sour taste exploded in his mouth; the candy was pineapple flavor. Lu Lin’s black eyes were deep.
“Are you too reassured about me?”
Yan Heqing didn’t understand at first. After understanding, he subconsciously looked down at his collar.
Lu Lin knew he was addicted.
Not physiologically, but from the inside out, addicted to the person Yan Heqing.
His voice was hoarse, no longer teasing Yan Heqing. “Rest early, the quota you want is not easy to get.”
Yan Heqing wasn’t surprised that Lu Lin knew about the internship quota. He turned around, lifted his foot, and looked back, “Do you want it?”
His gaze was clear, as if asking if you want to eat.
Lu Lin’s slender and distinct fingers tightened on the candy wrapper, his Adam’s apple trembling with restraint.
A moment later, he turned back to his chair, “Go to sleep, goodnight.”
Yan Heqing looked at him quietly for a while before leaving.
The next day at school, Gu Xingye took a leave of absence.
This news was chatted about by the girls in the back row during the break, “Took a day off.”
“Gu Xingye rarely takes leave, don’t tell me he went to find a girlfriend…”
“No way, Gu Xingye stays in the lab every day, where would he get a girlfriend…”
Yan Heqing turned a page of his book, faintly feeling that something had happened, but he didn’t know what.
After school in the afternoon, Yan Heqing found out.
Mother Lin called, “Heqing, are you out of class? Can I talk to you? I’m at the main gate of your school now.”
Yan Heqing took Mother Lin to his residence.
Not to sell misery, but he guessed what Mother Lin wanted to talk about next. She probably hoped for an absolutely safe space.
Mother Lin couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes, but she didn’t dare to look too much at this house, which was even smaller than the Lin family’s storage room, afraid of hurting the young man’s self-esteem.
Yan Heqing made a cup of lychee honey water for Mother Lin. Mother Lin’s eyes were full of red blood streaks, and she even had a few more white hairs on her head, which she, who always paid attention to her image, didn’t notice.
Only Lin Fengzhi could make Mother Lin like this. Yan Heqing couldn’t guess how Lin Fengzhi, who was already hospitalized, could hurt this woman who loved him the most so deeply.
He put down the water, “Drink some water first, speak slowly, don’t rush.”
His gentleness instantly defeated Mother Lin. Mother Lin cried and apologized incoherently, “I’m sorry Heqing, I… I apologize for Zhizhi, he made a big mistake.”
Mother Lin never interfered with Lin Fengzhi’s privacy. Even when Lin Fengzhi forgot to put away his diary and left it on the table, she just helped him put it in the drawer.
During this period, the more she looked at Lin Fengzhi’s condition, the more abnormal it seemed. She was too worried, so she finally went home and looked through Lin Fengzhi’s diary.
Lin Fengzhi loved writing diaries since he was a child, writing everything in them.
Several thick diaries, every page had a name written on it, Lu Lin.
Mother Lin was stunned.
Was this Lu Lin Yan Heqing’s boyfriend Lu Lin?
She was flustered and forced herself to be calm when returning to the hospital. She watched Lin Fengzhi carefully match his clothes as if nothing had happened, and her heart went cold halfway.
Then she followed Lin Fengzhi…
Finally saw the scene she didn’t want to see.
How could…
Like his brother’s boyfriend…
Mother Lin hit Lin Fengzhi for the first time.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry for raising Zhizhi like this.” Apart from this sentence, Mother Lin didn’t know what else to say.
Yan Heqing looked at Mother Lin’s crying appearance, which gradually overlapped with Yan Qiushuang.
He envied Lin Fengzhi for the first time.
To have motherly love once in a lifetime is already the happiest thing, but Lin Fengzhi had it twice.
“Don’t apologize for him.” Yan Heqing leaned forward and gently gave this woman who was trembling from crying a hug.
His voice was clear, “Even less need to pay for other people’s mistakes.”
……
After comforting Mother Lin, Yan Heqing instructed the driver to send Mother Lin back to the Lin family. Watching the car drive away, he turned to the parking space, started the car, and set off.
