Entering the empty room and closing the door, Yan Heqing finally took out his phone to check WeChat.
As he expected, Yang Rucheng posted an announcement in the class group chat.
[There's a week-long mountain hike next week!]
Before Yan Heqing could even look at it closely, a friend request popped up.
From Life Sciences Class 2.
Gu Xingye.
Chapter 72
Beijing University's School of Life Sciences usually arranges a week-long field trip for the end of the semester, but Yang Rucheng has a different habit; he usually arranges it about a month after the start of the semester.
Beijing University's field internships all take place in Mount Huai, where there are several experimental bases and greenhouses, a five-hour drive from the capital.
This internship involves submitting reports in groups of two or three, with the option to choose either botany or zoology.
The message asking Gu Xingye to team up with him kept flashing, but he didn't agree. He wanted to team up with Yan Heqing instead.
He was very curious about Yan Heqing.
It had nothing to do with Lin Fengzhi; he didn't care about their relationship. He was simply curious about Yan Heqing himself.
He added Yan Heqing as a friend.
After a long while, there was no response.
Then Gu Xingye saw a classmate send a message in the class group. "Don't look for me! Me, Old Zhan, and the new student are all in the group!"
There is only one new classmate, Yan Heqing.
Yan Heqing ignored Gu Xingye's request and added the next boy who added him. This boy had spoken to Yan Heqing a few times and had a very nice personality. After Yan Heqing accepted, he immediately added Yan Heqing to the group.
There was also a girl in the group named Zhan Pingting from the Life Sciences 2 class.
Once in the group, the boys asked them whether they wanted to choose botany or zoology. Botany involves identifying, cultivating, and processing plants, while zoology involves catching insects and nighttime mountain climbing.
Zhan Pingting spoke first, "The vote will decide, and the minority will obey the majority. I choose plants."
The boy was pursuing Zhan Pingting, and secretly wanted to join her in choosing plants, but since he had dragged Yan Heqing along, he decided to wait for Yan Heqing's opinion before making a decision. " Heqing, what about you?"
Yan Heqing, "Plants."
The boy was deeply moved and privately messaged Yan Heqing, "Waaah, thanks bro! I'll treat you to some skewers when we get back to school!"
At the same time, I posted in the group, "I also like plants! It's unanimously approved, our group will choose plants!"
Yan Heqing replied with two words, "No need." He didn't want to help the boy; he really needed to choose plants. He put his phone back in his pocket, then heard a noise downstairs. He went to the window and Lu Muchi had returned.
This time, the pastry chef reminded Lu Muchi that hot butterfly cookies are even more delicious, so he specially added an insulated box and a thermal bag, speeding all the way back to the villa, just to please Yan Heqing with hot butterfly cookies.
He strode into the villa carrying a huge insulated box. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he caught a glimpse of a slender figure in the living room. He stopped abruptly, turned back to Yan Heqing, and said with a smug look of satisfaction, "You'll never get a better butterfly pastry than this."
Approaching.
Yan Heqing didn't respond to him; Yan Heqing was looking at the sofa.
Just as described in the original text, this sofa was hand-stitched from hundreds of top-grain leathers. It was on this sofa that he suffered countless humiliations in the original text.
He looked away, calmly stating, " Teacher Xu is gone."
Lu Muchi, "Where to—" His smile froze, his pupils dilated, "What?"
Yan Heqing didn't reply, but just stared at him intently.
Lu Muchi's heart pounded faster and faster. That feeling from his childhood came back to him: unease, anxiety, bewilderment, anger... He put down the incubator, turned around and rushed to the stairs, running up to the second floor.
At the top of the stairs, he suddenly stopped, staring at the tightly closed door ahead. His fingers trembled, nervously squeezing them several times before he finally opened his dry lips. "Mom..."
Unable to make a sound.
After a while, he lifted his foot again, ran forward, and slammed the door open.
The window was open, the wind rustling the curtains, the bed was neatly made, but the woman had vanished again.
Lu Muchi's mind went completely blank.
When he came to his senses, he had already rushed back to the living room. In his bloodshot vision, that gaunt figure was still there. He dared to be there!
Yan Heqing didn't even bother to run!
Lu Muchi strode forward, his veined hand reaching for Yan Heqing's long, slender neck. Missing, he shifted his grip, tightening his hold on Yan Heqing's shoulder, his fingertips almost digging into it. Lu Muchi gritted his teeth, forcing out the words, "Why didn't you run?"
Needless to say, Xu Qiaoyin can't escape on her own. Unless someone helps her!
This person is Yan Heqing!
Yan Heqing noticed Lu Muchi's subtle change. Compared to the suffocating feeling of being strangled, the pain of being gripped was insignificant. His expression remained unchanged. "Why did I run?"
Lu Muchi roared like thunder, "I fucking searched the whole city for the best butterfly cookies for you, just to get a smile from you, and what are you doing? You're helping my mother escape! Tell me why you should run away!"
His furious outburst had already alarmed the butler and servants, who all stood at a distance, trembling and not daring to utter a sound.
At the eye of the storm, Yan Heqing remained unmoved. He didn't even raise an eyebrow, and his lips uttered calm syllables, "It's just wishful thinking on your part."
"You're asking for death!" Lu Muchi shoved Yan Heqing Yan Heqing the back of the sofa, gripping his shoulders and pressing down, his eyes bloodshot. "I'll kill you!"
The maid was immediately terrified and quietly pushed the butler to dissuade him. The butler, fearing a real tragedy, swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and took a few steps forward, calling out, "Young Master—"
"Get out!" Lu Muchi roared, "All of you, get the hell out!"
The housekeeper and servants trembled from the shouting, exchanged glances, and silently fled the villa, not daring to linger.
Outside the villa, the butler was frantic. After a moment's thought, he went to a corner, his hands trembling as he pulled out his phone and made a call. "Quick! Find President Lu's contact information for me! Things will get bad if we're too late!"
The President Lu Lin; right now, the only one who could control Lu Muchi was Lu Lin.
At this moment, Yan Heqing remained completely calm in the living room.
Those exquisitely beautiful eyes, through Lu Muchi, saw another scene.
In one of the original stories, Lin Fengzhi and Gu Xingye went to see a movie, Lu Muchi went crazy and tortured him relentlessly.
