Lu Ruchan smiled and stroked Lu Lin's hand. "It's alright. You can try to persuade Mu Chi; he hasn't eaten for days."
Lu Muchi visibly flinched, but Lu Lin ignored him and pushed Lu Ruchan straight out, saying, "You should go and rest first."
Lu Ruchan seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't.
Lu Lin took Lu Ruchan to a nearby hotel to rest, and returned No. 1 Primary School later.
Lu Changcheng stayed up until after 2 a. m., but still refused to go to sleep. Only when Lu Lin returned did he agree to rest in the next ward. Lu Han followed him, leaving only Lu Lin and Lu Muchi in the ward.
Before coming, Lu Ruchan instructed Lu Lin to make sure Lu Muchi ate something, saying that he hadn't had a drop of water for three days.
As soon as the door closed, Lu Muchi got out of bed and ran barefoot to Lu Lin, pleading, "Uncle, only you can help me this time. I found my mom! But she's disappeared again... Can you help me find her?"
If it were Lu Lin, his grandfather wouldn't be able to stop him.
Lu Lin knew Xu Qiaoyin had resigned before the new year, and without hesitation, he said, "No way."
He didn't give Lu Muchi any explanation, only saying in a deep voice, "Finish your food and get some rest."
A bowl of hot sweet porridge would be changed on the table every half hour. Lu Muchi over, picked up the porridge, and forced down a few mouthfuls.
He had no appetite.
I was so angry at Yan Heqing that I felt satiated.
This is the first time anyone has dared to say that about him!
But he's stubborn and incorrigible. Even though Yan Heqing let Xu Qiaoyin go and made him so angry that he vomited blood, he still couldn't help but miss him terribly.
Lu Muchi then thought of the bowl of white porridge he had cooked, which Yan Heqing hadn't even tasted, yet it was truly delicious.
A short while later, Lu Lin left the ward. Before he reached the elevator, a middle-aged man came out of the elevator.
Lu Lin vaguely remembered him; he was Lu Muchi's butler. He stopped.
At the same time, Lin Fengyi arrived home.
He was in a terrible state, covered in mud, and collapsed onto the bed as soon as he entered the house.
The next morning, Mother Lin discovered that he had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius!
Mother Lin was so frightened that she immediately called the doctor.
After all that, Lin Fengyi's temperature finally returned to normal by evening, but he was still unconscious. Lin Fengzhi came home from school and heard that Lin Fengyi had a fever, he rushed over to see him.
The bedroom was empty; a humidifier was spraying mist.
Lin Fengzhi carried a cup of hot milk and tiptoed to the bedside.
Lin Fengyi rarely gets sick, even catching a cold is uncommon. This time, he lay there pale and weak, Lin Fengzhi. He knelt down, reached out to touch Lin Fengyi's forehead, and asked softly, "Brother, are you still feeling unwell?"
Lin Fengyi opened his eyes, and in his blurry vision, he saw a familiar face.
His heart pounded, and he stood up, excitedly grabbing the hand in front of him, " Yan Heqing!"
Lin Fengzhi stunned, realizing that Lin Fengyi had mistaken him for Yan Heqing. He struggled to pull his hand away, shouting, "Are you crazy! Look carefully at who I am!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Fengyi looked again and saw that it was Lin Fengzhi. Disappointment flashed in his eyes. He was such an idiot. Why would Yan Heqing come to see him... He fell back onto the bed, feeling utterly hopeless, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
He ignored Lin Fengzhi, Lin Fengzhi suddenly became angry. "What do you mean? Don't you hate Yan Heqing? Mentioning him..." He abruptly stopped, his pupils widening in shock. "You haven't been home these past few days. Did you go to Mount Huai?"
Chapter 79
Lin Fengyi didn't let it slip. He was surprised that Lin Fengzhi was reacting so quickly today, but he himself didn't want to admit that he had specifically chased after Yan Heqing, let alone tell Lin Fengzhi.
He coughed a few times, his voice weak. "Yes, I went hiking in Mount Huai with friends."
Lin Fengzhi skeptical. What a coincidence that he went hiking in Mount Huai? But going to Mount Huai on purpose was even more illogical. It couldn't be that he wanted to run into Yan Heqing.
He probably overreacted.
He's been stressed about anything related to Yan Heqing lately!
Thinking of Yan Heqing again, Lin Fengzhi immediately became depressed.
Yan Heqing didn't reply to his WeChat at all.
Gu Xingye sent him a picture of some kind of plum blossom algae yesterday. Yan Heqing definitely wasn't unable to contact him because there was no signal in the mountains; he was deliberately ignoring him.
Are you angry? Because of what he said?
But it was clearly Yan Heqing who made the mistake.
He didn't intend to hide their relationship. If Yan Heqing had told him beforehand, so that he wouldn't have been so embarrassed in front of Gu Xingye, he would never have questioned him.
"Drink it." Lin Fengzhi handed the milk to Lin Fengyi and sat down on the edge of the bed. "So, you ran into Yan Heqing in Mount Huai?"
Lin Fengyi didn't want to drink it, so he put it back on the bedside table. "I bumped into it!"
He gritted his teeth listlessly, thinking it would have been better not to have run into them!
Lin Fengzhi nodded, "They went on a field trip, and Gu Xingye was with them."
Mentioning Gu Xingye, Lin Fengyi was equally displeased. "I know, he's with Yan Heqing."
Lin Fengzhi pressed further, "Are they often together?"
"Of course, they're on very good terms." Lin Fengyi sneered. "That kid Gu Xingye, all he's good for is talking."
Lin Fengzhi silent, forcing Lin Fengyi to finish his milk before leaving the room to make a phone call.
He called Gu Xingye.
"Let Yan Heqing hear this."
Gu Xingye chuckled, "Can I take that as you and him having a fight?"
Lin Fengzhi was annoyed by Gu Xingye for this one thing: nothing could be hidden from him. Currently, the deepest secret he kept was that he had never mentioned Lu Lin to Gu Xingye, otherwise it would definitely be discovered. "Yes, it's all because of you!"
"Me?" Gu Xingye paused for a few seconds, then understood. He said with a hint of helplessness, "He didn't tell me. I just guessed because I saw your phone number on the second day of junior high."
Lin Fengzhi instantly dumbfounded. "You're just guessing?!" Then he had wrongly accused Yan Heqing! He complained, "Why are you making wild guesses for no reason?!"
Gu Xingye knew without asking that Lin Fengzhi definitely gone to question Yan Heqing. He sighed, "I told you not to be rash. It's understandable that you're angry because you suspect him like this."
Lin Fengzhi guilty and, after a long pause, said, "It's all your fault."
"Yes, it's all my fault," Gu Xingye asked with a smile, "But he won't blame me. How are you going to apologize?"
