Lin Fengzhi bright red.

Lu Lin remained silent.

Lin Fengzhi straightened up and took a deep breath. "Don't you remember me? You even invited me to Grandpa Lu's banquet last time."

Lu Lin spoke, " Lin Fengzhi."

Lin Fengzhi's pupils shone brightly; Uncle Lu remembered him! He stammered with joy, "Yes, I am Lin Fengzhi!"

Lu Lin recited a string of numbers, Lin Fengzhi n't remember. He nervously reached for his phone, "Could you slow down? I..."

Lu Lin glanced at him, went back to the car to get a pen and note, quickly scribbled a few lines, and handed the note to Lin Fengzhi, "Go to this hospital for a checkup. If there's a problem, someone will treat you."

Lin Fengzhi blankly at the note, "No, I..."

Lu Lin said in a deep voice, "If this happens again, I will call the police."

" Uncle Lu, you've misunderstood. I am..."

Before Lin Fengzhi explain, Lu Lin got into his car and drove past him.

Lin Fengzhi tears. He clenched the paper in disappointment, but after a moment, a brilliant idea struck him. He unfolded the crumpled paper, stared at the number, and thought of a wonderful idea.

If he "has a problem," then Lu Lin will have to take responsibility! Doesn't that mean they can have intimate contact?!

Lin Fengzhi's sorrow turned to joy. Perhaps Lu Lin was right; deep down, he did want to cause trouble for him like this...

Using a little trick for love is forgivable, right? Lin Fengzhi smiled, took out his phone, and saved the number on the note.

The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.

Yan Heqing was the last to board the bus this time. The journey there was bumpy, and everyone knew that sitting in the last row was extremely uncomfortable, so no one wanted to sit there anymore. There was only one boy in the last seat, so he walked to the back and sat in the window seat on the other side.

As he passed by Gu Xingye, Gu Xingye glanced at him.

Yan Heqing sat down without headphones. The last time he got carsick, it was because he was listening to vocabulary. He opened the group observation report he had compiled, wanting to check it again. He was focused and serious, and before he knew it, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

I took out my phone; the caller ID was an unfamiliar local number.

The last four digits of the license plate are 7777.

Yan Heqing guessed who it was. He closed the report and pondered Lu Changcheng's intentions. If it was about discovering Xu Qiaoyin's matter, it wouldn't have been Lu Changcheng who contacted him first, but Lu Muchi.

It is highly likely that it is Lu Muchi.

Yan Heqing didn't answer the phone immediately; he waited until it was almost over before swiping to answer, "Hello."

Lu Changcheng was very pleased with Yan Heqing's politeness. He smiled and said, "Young man, I am Lu Changcheng. I'm contacting you today because I need your help with something. Don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing."

Yan Heqing remained neither arrogant nor humble, "Please speak."

" Mu Chi is sick, quite seriously, and he's been a bit irritable. Come to the hospital to see him tomorrow. You young people don't have a generation gap, so it's easy to communicate. I'll send someone to pick you up; you can come directly."

Just as Yan Heqing was about to turn back, a boy in front of her suddenly screamed.

"Holy crap! I can't believe I've seen Koenigsegg on this kind of mountain road!"

"The actual black one looks incredibly cool! Is this a CCX or a CCXR?"

Then came the increasingly lively discussion among the boys about the luxury cars.

Yan Heqing pressed the receiver, and after a few seconds replied, "I'll go over after school tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Heqing continued to check the observation report until the bus came to a complete stop. Only then did he put the report away and get off the bus behind his classmate.

My phone rang the moment my foot touched the ground.

This time it's Lu Lin.

Yan Heqing answered the phone; Lu Lin's voice was almost touching hers, "Turn around and accept your reward."

Yan Heqing turned around.

Not far away, Lu Lin stood in front of a black car, facing him as he spoke on the phone.

Chapter 80

The sounds of the male classmates' earlier discussion flashed through Yan Heqing's mind.

He didn't recognize the car logo, but the black car beside Lu Lin was probably the kind of luxury car that amazed all the boys.

Yan Heqing had heard far too many vicious and offensive words, and he almost immediately guessed why Lu Lin went to Mount Huai to pick him up but only followed the car discreetly.

gossip.

If he gets into Lu Lin's luxury car in full view of everyone, wherever there are people, even in the most prestigious university, he will inevitably become the subject of gossip in some corner.

Yan Heqing stared at Lu Lin without moving.

The distance wasn't far, but they were separated by a road. Spring was bringing later darkness, and the streetlights were gradually coming on. Vehicles occasionally drove by, and Lu Lin appeared and disappeared, like a jumbled scene in a video.

But he was always there.

On the phone, Lu Lin's voice came through at the same time, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Heqing spoke, "You."

Lu Lin was quite surprised by Yan Heqing's answer. After a second or two of silence, a deep voice with a slight upturn at the end, mixed with the sound of a horn, rang out, "Come closer and take a look."

Yan Heqing finally lifted her foot, carrying her luggage, and walked towards Lu Lin. When she reached the roadside, the red light ended, and cars came one after another, instantly turning the not-so-wide street into a bustling traffic jam.

Yan Heqing was temporarily stopped. He put away his phone and waited for the traffic to clear up and the road to return to calm a minute later.

He crossed the zebra crossing, stopped in front of Lu Lin, and, just as Lu Lin had said, walked closer to look at him.

It's been a few days since I last saw you. It seems like nothing's different, yet everything feels different.

Pedestrians passed by on the sidewalk from time to time. Lu Lin opened the passenger door. "Finished watching? Let's go home."

Having not heard the word "go home" in so long, Yan Heqing was lost in thought for a few seconds before nodding and getting into the car.

After closing the car door, Lu Lin walked back to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and then took Yan Heqing's left hand and held it. Yan Heqing was a little surprised and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"You've lost weight again." Lu Lin casually let go of the steering wheel and drove out of the temporary parking space. "Go home and eat more to make up for it."

It's normal to not eat well in the mountains, and Yan Heqing could clearly feel that he had lost some weight. He looked away. This was the second time Lu Lin had mentioned going home. He didn't ask Lu Lin which home he meant, as he wasn't worried that it would be the Lu Family home.

Lu Lin returned to that large single-level apartment.

Yan Heqing put down her schoolbag and luggage by the entryway. Lu Lin saw her out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything. He took out a pair of beige slippers, then changed into slippers himself, took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and walked towards the kitchen. "There are snacks on the coffee table. Eat something to tide you over if you're hungry. I'll go cook."
