Lin Fengyi had just returned home when he saw Yan Heqing backing up the car. He opened his mouth to speak, but then pursed it tightly and went inside first, carrying the medicine he had bought for his Mother Lin.
Yan Heqing didn't mind. He parked the car and went inside. When Mother Lin found out he was coming, she quickly got up, changed her clothes, went to the door, and then went back to put on makeup.
Then, in the living room, Yan Heqing was sitting on the sofa. Mother Lin paused slightly, took a deep breath, and forced a smile before stepping forward, " Heqing, you're here."
She then asked Lin Fengyi to pour some water; she had given the servants a day off recently, as too many people would cause trouble.
Lin Fengyi returned and put down a glass of warm water. He heard his Mother Lin's surprised voice, "Are you taking Fengzhi to sweep your parents' graves?"
Lin Fengyi glanced at Yan Heqing, his expression complicated. Didn't he know that Lin Fengzhi liked Lu Lin?
However, his eyes widened at Mother Lin's next sentence.
" Mr. Lu..." After her initial surprise, Mother Lin thought of something else, "Is he going?"
Now she absolutely forbids Lin Fengzhi seeing Lu Lin again.
Yan Heqing handed her a water glass, "Don't worry, he's not going."
Lin Fengyi was shocked. Yan Heqing knew! He knew and yet... Lin Fengyi couldn't quite describe his emotions; his chest felt incredibly tight.
Mother Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She had originally disagreed with Lin Fengzhi going out, but Yan Heqing was an exception, and she trusted him.
Mother Lin dared not look Yan Heqing in the eye; filled with guilt, she hurriedly stood up. "He's in his room; I'll go get him."
"Auntie, don't worry," Yan Heqing called out to her, "Could you take me to the garden to see the hydrangeas you've planted?"
During this time, Mother Lin fell ill along with Lin Fengzhi and stayed at home with him, not going out for a long time and not seeing the sun. Lin Fengyi tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail.
Hearing that Yan Heqing was going to take Mother Lin out, he quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mom, the hydrangeas are in bloom, they're so beautiful."
Mother Lin agreed and followed Yan Heqing to the garden. Seeing the vast expanse of vibrant Endless Summer jasmine in bloom, she finally smiled and turned to Yan Heqing, saying, "It's so beautiful."
Yan Heqing smiled and said, "You've taken very good care of yourself."
Mother Lin almost burst into tears. She hadn't raised him properly at all. She had spoiled Lin Fengzhi and made him so willful that he even tried to steal her brother's boyfriend. She had let down Yan Heqing and their biological parents.
She quickly turned her head away, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and smiled as if nothing was wrong, "Alright, I won't keep you any longer. I'll stay a little longer. You can go upstairs and call Fengzhi yourself."
Knowing she needed to vent, Yan Heqing returned to the villa. Entering the living room, he saw Lin Fengyi sitting on the sofa, panting. He didn't expose her, but calmly asked, "Where Lin Fengzhi live?"
Lin Fengyi coughed softly. Yan Heqing turned around too quickly, and he was almost caught red-handed, but...
Recalling Yan Heqing's gentleness towards Mother Lin, his heart pounded. He picked up his water glass and gulped it down, not daring to look at Yan Heqing. "Second floor, turn left, third room."
Yan Heqing went upstairs, and Lin Fengyi couldn't help but turn back and call out to him, " Yan Heqing!"
Yan Heqing stopped but didn't turn around. "What?"
"You..." Lin Fengyi gritted his teeth, "Are you out of your mind?"
Yan Heqing was puzzled, "You're more like it."
Ignoring him, I went upstairs.

Lin Fengzhi the bedroom. He already knew Yan Heqing was coming. He was sitting by the bay window, but he rushed to the bed and lay down, even running his fingers through his hair.
He looked towards the door, and as soon as he heard a knock, he immediately said, "The door's open!"
Yan Heqing opened the door.
He saw Lin Fengzhi's room for the first time in real life, and it was just as described in the text.
There is an entire photo wall covered with photos of Lin Fengzhi from childhood to adulthood.
Yan Heqing walked into the room. He knew what Lin Fengzhi to, but he didn't expose him.
Let's go.
Lin Fengzhi threw off the covers and got out of bed. He first glanced at Yan Heqing's wrist and saw that she was still wearing a red bean bracelet. He then pushed open the door to the dressing room heavily.
He specially chose a haute couture summer outfit, the same black and white as Yan Heqing's, but the fabric alone showed that his outfit was very valuable.
The two went downstairs, Mother Lin had already returned. She had prepared two large fruit baskets. "We didn't have time to order flowers, so take these with you."
Yan Heqing accepted the fruit basket and thanked Mother Lin.
Mother Lin glanced at Lin Fengzhi, Lin Fengzhi immediately turned his face away. Mother Lin forced a smile and patted Yan Heqing's arm, "Let Fengyi take you there."
Lin Fengyi had his car keys ready, but Yan Heqing politely declined, saying, "No trouble at all, I drove here."
Lin Fengyi gripped his car keys tightly, looking disdainful. "I'm busy, I don't have time to deliver."
Mother Lin asked curiously, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you'd been home with me every day for the past few months?"
"... It's urgent, they just called me."
Yan Heqing and Lin Fengzhi left. When Lin Fengzhi saw Yan Heqing's car, he hesitated for a moment before getting into the passenger seat.
As soon as Lin Fengzhi the car, he quietly observed any traces related to Lu Lin. There were no decorative items or cushions, which improved his mood. He glanced at Yan Heqing but didn't try to start a conversation.
He wouldn't talk to Yan Heqing unless Yan Heqing spoke first!
Yan Heqing drove, ignoring him the entire time.
They arrived at the cemetery in silence. The sky had darkened considerably. Although it was a sunny day, the calls of unknown birds and the dense trees made Lin Fengzhi out of the car.
He never comes to places like this.
There was a flower shop near the parking lot. Yan Heqing went in and bought two bouquets of flowers. When Lin Fengzhi saw that he had bought chrysanthemums and gladioli, he didn't want to buy those two kinds of flowers and deliberately chose carnations and calla lilies instead.
Yan Heqing said casually, "Bring a bouquet of gladiolus; Mom likes it."
Lin Fengzhi didn't want to change it; he didn't want to listen to Yan Heqing right now. But then he remembered that he couldn't afford to offend Yan Heqing, so he asked for another bunch of sword orchids.
"I'll send two bouquets." Even if he takes the gladiolus, he won't give up the flowers he picked himself!
Yan Heqing followed him. He tidied his clothes, picked up the fruit basket, and carried the bouquet up the mountain.
It wasn't Qingming Festival, and it was a weekday, so the cemetery was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.
Upon reaching his father's tombstone, Lin Fengzhi was finally moved. He put down the calla lilies and noticed there was no photo. He turned around and asked, "Why isn't there a photo?"
