It's burned out.
Lin Fengzhi puzzled. "What do you mean by 'burnt to ashes'?"
Yan Heqing recounted the fire.
He couldn't remember clearly, and the original text didn't explain it clearly either. It seemed that a fire suddenly broke out, and the room was filled with fire and thick smoke.
He was picked up by his mother, and he couldn't see anything but his mother's gentle voice.
"Don't be afraid, baby, hang in there..."
Yan Heqing clenched his fingers and said softly, "Let's go to Mother's grave."
As darkness fell, the scattered streetlights came on, but the light was dim, so Lin Fengzhi quickened his pace to keep up with Yan Heqing.
Upon arriving at Yan Qiushuang's grave, Yan Heqing knelt down and carefully cleaned away the dust before setting down the fruit basket and gladiolus.
A smile spread across his eyes. "Mom, we've come to see you."
Lin Fengzhi came with ulterior motives, but seeing Yan Qiushuang's grave, he was also saddened. He put down the gladiolus and carnations and finally called out, "Mom, it's me, Lin Fengzhi. I've come to see you."
As night fell, the cemetery was silent. The two quietly kept their mother company as she lay in eternal rest. A crow's caw pierced the night sky, and Lin Fengzhi broke the silence as well.
"Mother."
Lin Fengzhi bowed solemnly to the tombstone, "If you are watching over me from heaven, please bless my brother so he may see the light and return to the right path."
Yan Heqing's face darkened, and he pulled Lin Fengzhi away, saying, "Don't do it here..."
"I'm going to stay here! You're scared now, finally feeling guilty, huh!" Lin Fengzhi was no match for Yan Heqing's strength. He quickly grabbed Yan Qiushuang's tombstone, his eyes red, and shouted, "If you still love your mother, don't let her worry about you even after she's dead! No one will be happy like this! Let Uncle Lu go, and let yourself go too!"
Lin Fengzhi didn't know much else, but he knew that Yan Heqing was extremely filial! He didn't believe that Yan Heqing could bully him in front of his own mother!
At this moment, all of Lin Fengzhi's grievances welled up, "You're a liar! You said I was your beloved younger brother, that you'd buy me strawberries, big chicken legs, and big beef legs, that you'd always protect me and never let anyone bully me, and now you're the one bullying me!"
Tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm almost blind and you still ignore me, leaving me all alone to fend for myself! You're such a good liar, lying to Mom, lying to me, lying to Uncle Lu!"
Yan Heqing suddenly let go, the night darkness darkening his pupils, his eyes devoid of warmth.
"You remember now."
It's not a question, it's a certainty.
Lin Fengzhi stopped, instinctively covering his mouth, but then realizing he hadn't done anything wrong, he forcefully pulled his hand away.
He only had fragmented memories, not very clear, but he insisted on admitting it. "That's right, I remember everything! You're afraid I'll regain my memories and expose you, aren't you? You've never kept your word, you're a liar, you've been since you were a child—"
Lin Fengzhi's right cheek was twisted to one side, and he was in excruciating pain. He felt his entire face was numb and swollen. Lin Fengzhi stunned; he couldn't believe it. "You hit me?"
Yan Heqing's hands were also numb from the trembling; he used all his strength to clench his fist. "I regret not hitting you sooner."
He knew that Lin Fengzhi the grave.
But he still brought him along.
His parents, just like he used to be, missed him terribly.
But at this moment, it's all gone.
Yan Heqing's voice was cold, "Listen carefully, Lin Fengzhi, I love Lu Lin. Stop deceiving yourself and fantasizing about him."
Chapter 106
Yan Heqing's words stung Lin Fengzhi his eyes to redden and his vision to darken. Yan Heqing's features gradually blurred. He strained to widen his eyes, his lips trembling repeatedly, "I don't believe it..."
No matter how many times Yan Heqing says it, he shouldn't believe her! Yan Heqing just likes Lu Muchi!
"You just don't like Uncle Lu, you're lying to me!"
Yan Heqing stared intently at Lin Fengzhi.
From this moment on, Lin Fengzhi was a complete and permanent stranger to him.
He wanted to take back everything he had given Lin Fengzhi, leaving him to fend for himself from then on.
Suddenly, the cawing of crows rang out in the distance, echoing continuously in the open sky. Lin Fengzhi a chill run down his spine. He felt that Yan Heqing's gaze was chillingly cold. He unconsciously took a step back, only stopping when his back bumped into a tombstone. "W-why are you looking at me like that?"
Under the cool moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed behind Yan Heqing. He calmly took out his phone. "Should I call Lu Lin to confirm?"
Lin Fengzhi silent instantly, gasped for breath, and then let out a loud burp.
These words felt like a death sentence. He shook his head frantically, finally managing to squeeze out a weak voice, " Lu Lin likes you... but it's no use!" Then, as if remembering something, he gained confidence, "You two can never get married, the Lu Family will never accept you!"
Yan Heqing prepared to dial, "Really? I'll try proposing to Lu Lin now."
"No!" Lin Fengzhi to snatch the phone. He knew Yan Heqing was telling the truth, and the only thing left in his mind was the word "marriage proposal."
Yan Heqing proposes, Lu Lin will definitely agree!
But he disagreed!
Yan Heqing moved aside, Lin Fengzhi fell over as he lunged forward. He turned around, but Yan Heqing remained silent. His vision was filled with large shadows, Lin Fengzhi suddenly couldn't distinguish between the tree shadows and Yan Heqing. He panicked, "You're not allowed to propose! You..." He blurted out, "If you propose, I'll die!"
The original text states that Lin Fengzhi actually attempted suicide three times.
The first time was when she gave up on Lu Lin, and the second time was when she broke up with Lu Muchi.
Naturally, none of these attempts will succeed.
He rushed into the sea, but Lu Muchi pulled him back to the beach and kissed him forcefully. He tried to cut his wrists, but Lu Muchi Lu Muchi snatched the knife away, pinned him to the floor, and kissed him forcefully. He swallowed sleeping pills, but Lu Muchi in bed together for three days.
Suicide turned into a sweet prelude, with only Mother Lin worrying. She didn't know that Lin Fengzhi in a relationship, let alone that he had attempted suicide. She only knew that during the time Lin Fengzhi heartbroken, he was either seriously ill or in a bad mood, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night and was losing clumps of hair.
Yan Heqing had an idea, and he casually left with the words, "That's your problem."
He turned and left, never looking back.
Lin Fengzhi trembling all over. He stared intently at Yan Heqing's back, which seemed to spread out like ink spreading in the night.
