Lu Lin was driving when he answered a call via the car's Bluetooth, and Xie Yunjie's voice echoed inside the car.
Lu Lin glanced at Yan Heqing out of the corner of his eye. Yan Heqing preferred peace and quiet, but living in a villa inevitably meant more noise.
Yan Heqing understood Lu Lin's meaning and proactively replied to Xie Yunjie, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yunjie laughed heartily, "Don't Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, that's too formal! I'm not much older than you, call me Brother Xie or Brother Jie as you like."
His intentions were obvious; he just wanted to take advantage of Lu Lin. Lu Lin's darling calling him "brother" was no different from Lu Lin calling him "brother"!
Yan Heqing smiled faintly, "Let's stick with the name."
"Okay," Xie Yunjie laughed. "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'll hang up now. I'll be there tomorrow."
Xie Yunjie then hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Chu Ziyu called, but he was contacting Yan Heqing.
"Qing, where are you guys?" There was a clattering sound on his end. "I'm packing! Let's meet up for a late-night snack when we get there?"
He had a loud voice, so Lu Lin refused on Yan Heqing's behalf, saying, "You go yourself; he's going to recuperate."
Then I clearly heard Chu Ziyu slap his forehead, "My goldfish memory is terrible, I completely forgot about that. Okay, if we're not having barbecue, I'll leave tomorrow morning and pack more luggage!"
I don't even know how much luggage he had, and I hung up the phone in a hurry.
"You and Chu Ziyu have known each other since elementary school?" Yan Heqing suddenly asked.
Lu Lin remained calm. "Kindergarten. He wet the bed every day until he graduated from kindergarten."
Yan Heqing nodded. Bedwetting wasn't unusual; Yan Feng was 12 and still wet his pants.
"Your reaction," Lu Lin tapped the steering wheel with his index finger, "Isn't it making me jealous?"
This time, Yan Heqing reacted for a few seconds before quickly explaining, "The boy from my foster mother's family is 12 years old and still wets his pants."
Lu Lin recalled the last time he went there, the strange smell that filled the house, and how Yan Heqing had lived in that environment for 13 years.
"Call him by his full name because he's your friend," Yan Heqing added.
Lu Lin was completely defeated by this. "Take a nap first?" He glanced at the navigation. "It'll take three hours to get there from here."
Yan Heqing shook his head, "I'm not sleepy. I'll drive after we get off the highway."
Just then, they passed a 24-hour convenience store, and Lu Lin stopped by the roadside. "I'm going to buy water. Do you want me to get some food?"
Yan Heqing unbuckled his seatbelt first. "I'll go."
There was only one cashier watching a football match in the convenience store. Yan Heqing took a few bottles of water and a few boxes of cookies and went to the checkout counter.
After I put my things down, the cashier scanned the code. "That'll be 45 in total."
Yan Heqing's gaze fell on the colorful packaging on the shelf next to him.
He had worked at a supermarket and knew that these weren't candies, but condoms.
He looked at it quietly for two seconds, then took out a box.
"And this too."

At this time, the Lin Family was still in complete chaos.
Lin Fengzhi refused to be hospitalized and went home, locking himself in his room.
Father Lin Mother Lin and Lin Fengxian were all gentle people. Lin Fengyi endured until evening, then suddenly went to Lin Fengzhi's door without saying a word and kicked the door open.
He entered the room, immediately pulled back Lin Fengzhi's blanket, picked him up, and strode out.
Lin Fengzhi struggled with both hands and feet, shouting, "I don't want to go to the hospital! Let go of me!"
Lin Fengyi had his face and body scratched, but he remained expressionless as he carried Lin Fengzhi downstairs.
When Father Lin's Mother Lin rushed out, they saw Lin Fengyi carrying Lin Fengzhi out.
They all assumed they were taking Lin Fengzhi to the hospital. Father Lin sighed, "It's better to force him to receive treatment; there's no other way."
Just as he finished speaking, a loud thud was heard outside, accompanied by Lin Fengzhi's scream.
Mother Lin immediately rushed out.
She was stunned by the scene outside. Lin Fengyi was standing by the pool, while Lin Fengzhi had been thrown into the pool by him!
Father Lin arrived shortly after, eager to rescue the person, but Mother Lin, trembling, grabbed him, her voice weak, "Don't go, let him climb up himself."
Lin Fengzhi to climb ashore, soaking wet, his expression aggrieved. " Lin Fengyi, what's wrong with you!"
Lin Fengyi looked at him with exasperation. "Are you out of your mind! Your eyes are sick and you won't get treatment, do you want to go completely blind?!"
"Yes!" Lin Fengzhi roared back, "I just want to go blind!"
If you're blind, you can't see anything! You can't see that Lu Lin likes Yan Heqing, you can't see the matching bracelets they're wearing!
As he shouted, tears streamed down Lin Fengzhi. "You all like him. If I go blind, I won't be able to see him, and I won't be sad anymore!"
Lin Fengyi suddenly realized that Lin Fengzhi Yan Heqing, and he had a strange feeling. "Don't you like him too?"
Previously, Lin Fengzhi forbade him to address Yan Heqing by his surname, Yan, and he especially liked the Ultraman that Yan Heqing gave him.
Lin Fengzhi even more upset. He liked Yan Heqing because Yan Heqing treated him very well, but Yan Heqing was with Lu Lin.
His favorite person in the whole world Lu Lin...
"I don't like him anymore!" Lin Fengzhi. "Anyway, I'm not getting treatment. I'd rather die than get treatment. It's better if I go blind!"
Lin Fengyi was confused. Finally, his Mother Lin couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes were still swollen, and she couldn't cry anymore. "In your heart, is your mother less important than a man who doesn't love you? You're willing to die for him, even giving up your eyes. Have you never considered your mother's feelings?"
Mother Lin hadn't told Lin's Father Lin Fengyi about Lu Lin 'Lin Fengzhi crush on Lu Lin, so they were both shocked to hear that Lin Fengzhi liked men.
Lin Fengyi quickly realized what was happening.
He frowned. "You like Lu Lin?"
Upon hearing the name Lu Lin, Father Lin's expression changed drastically. " Lu Lin of the Lu Group?"
Lin Fengzhi didn't answer. Looking at his pale-faced Mother Lin, he finally realized he was anxious. "Mom..."
Hope finally rekindled in Mother Lin's eyes. She stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Don't go near Mr. Lu anymore. Let's go to the hospital to get your eyes treated properly. It's okay if you like the same sex. Once your eyes are healed, Mom will take you on a world tour. You'll definitely meet other outstanding men there."
But as soon as she touched Lin Fengzhi's arm, Lin Fengzhi shrank his shoulder and avoided it.
