Lin Fengzhi his head, "I don't know, you help me think of something."
Gu Xingye was at a loss for words. Aside from studying, Yan Heqing seemed to treat only Mr. Lu differently; he really couldn't discern his preferences. "We'll talk about it when we get back. Arrive at 6 PM this Sunday."
Lin Fengzhi hung up the phone.
He felt somewhat guilty, especially after opening WeChat and seeing that last question. He scratched his face, typed out an apology, and then quickly deleted it.
He couldn't bring himself to say it...
Strictly speaking, Yan Heqing isn't entirely without responsibility. He didn't do it, so why didn't he explain? He let the misunderstanding continue... Now look what's happened; the misunderstanding has lasted so long, how can he possibly apologize...?
Lin Fengzhi's face fell, and he put away his phone and went to the kitchen.
Lin Fengyi is sick, and today his Mother Lin personally cooked him a special meal for him. Lin Fengzhi walked into the kitchen and hugged his Mother Lin from behind, saying, "Mom."
Mother Lin was making soup when she asked with a smile, "Are you hungry?"
"No." Lin Fengzhi's voice was muffled. He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He released his Mother Lin's grip. "I'm not eating at home."
Mother Lin turned around, spoon in hand. "A date?" she asked, intrigued. "Which lovely little girl is it? When are you bringing her home?"
Lin Fengzhi wanted to go out to feed the stray cats to clear his head, but after his Mother Lin said that, he suddenly became desperate to see Lu Lin.
After Lu Muchi refused to marry him, he didn't dare to go see Lu Lin for a while. Now that things are resolved, why shouldn't he go see him?
His mood instantly lifted, Lin Fengzhi happily gave his Mother Lin a kiss on the cheek. "I love you so much, Mom! Bye!"
Mother Lin looked bewildered, then burst out laughing, "She's really becoming more and more like a child as she gets older."
Lin Fengzhi drove to the Lu Group's residence.
Lu Lin always works overtime; he's always at the company at this hour!
*
At Lu Group's headquarters, only Lu Lin remained in his office.
His gaze was deep as he thought about the conversation that had taken place in the early hours of the morning.
In the early hours of the morning in the hospital elevator shaft, Lu Muchi's butler saw Lu Lin waiting for him and hurried forward, bowing respectfully, " Mr. Lu, you've arrived."
Lu Lin was straightforward. "What do you need? Call me."
He asked about last Sunday, and the housekeeper searched everywhere for his phone number.
The butler's heart skipped a beat. Even if he had a hundred lives, he would never reveal Lu Muchi's private affairs, but...
Stealing a glance at Lu Lin, the butler could only offer a less serious explanation. "The young master had an argument with his friend the other day. I was worried something might have happened and wanted to contact you, but I was overthinking it. The young master and his friend quickly made up, and nothing serious occurred."
Lu Lin's tone was calm, "Nothing happened, do you mean he's in the hospital now?"
The butler was utterly terrified and dared not hide anything any longer, telling the whole truth.
Apart from the name Yan Heqing.
The butler didn't know Yan Heqing's name; "He seems to be the young master's new boyfriend."
Lu Lin's gaze was deep and intense.
He didn't care about Lu Muchi's private affairs, including Xu Qiaoyin's whereabouts.
If he's under his watchful eye, he can lend a hand; if he's not, it's not something he'll consider.
The only exception was Lu Muchi's new boyfriend.
He was somewhat bothered by it.
This was the first time he had learned about Lu Muchi's sexual orientation, but the word "new" was enough to indicate that there had been quite a few interactions before. Why would he help Xu Qiaoyin when they hadn't known each other for long?
Did you know each other before?
Lu Lin had an answer in his mind.
But it lacks one crucial reason.
He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and then his phone lit up.
WeChat notification: a message from 52 Hertz.
Four words: "Dinner's ready."
This was the first time Yan Heqing had contacted him proactively, aside from offering a mini-program and installment transfers.
Lu Lin glanced at the time; it was seven o'clock. He dialed Yan Heqing's number.
It rang for a few seconds, then the call connected.
"Have you eaten?" Lu Lin took the small spray bottle and sprayed some water on the succulents.
"I've eaten." It was quiet on Yan Heqing's end. "The improved potatoes the teacher grew weren't very good."
Then he asked, "Have you eaten?"
The boy's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear. Lu Lin put down the spray bottle, rubbed his Adam's apple a couple of times, got up, grabbed his coat, draped it over his arm, and walked out. "On my way."
A woman's voice suddenly came through the receiver, " Yan Heqing!"
Lu Lin's brow twitched 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 smiled brightly at Yan Heqing, "Thank you for helping me out!"
Yan Heqing politely responded, presumably Zhou Wuyou had left. A moment later, his voice came through the phone again, "Yes, I'll compile the observation reports from the Firefly Cave."
That night in the mountains, no one introduced themselves except Zhao Yong, who made a point of introducing himself.
But Yan Heqing didn't ask Lu Lin how he knew Zhou Wuyou's name.
Lu Lin didn't mention it, entered the elevator and pressed the button for the underground parking lot, and the elevator descended at a steady speed.
He didn't want to end the call, but Yan Heqing was clearly busy.
His voice lowered slightly, "Study hard, there will be a reward when you come back."
He didn't say what the reward would be.
Yan Heqing didn't ask any questions, only telling him when he would be back.
Arrive at Beijing University at 6 PM on Sunday.
Lu Lin put away his phone, and the elevator doors opened, leading to the underground parking lot.
As he drove out of the parking space and was about to turn, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows and blocked his car.
With a sudden stop, the parking lot's motion-sensor lights turned on one after another.
Lu Lin frowned deeply.
Standing in front of the car, Lin Fengzhi still shaken. It was his first time stopping a car, and he hadn't controlled his speed properly. If Lu Lin hadn't braked in time, he would have almost crashed into it. His heart was pounding, and he only came to his senses and turned his head when the footsteps approached.
The parking lot lights were dim, but the moment Lin Fengzhi Lu Lin, his legs went weak, and he quickly braced himself against the hood to steady himself.
" Uncle Lu..." His eyes instantly reddened.
He missed Lu Lin terribly before he even saw him, but seeing him made him realize just how much he had missed Lu Lin! He longed to rush into his arms immediately...
