In the study, Lu Lin received a report that Lu Muchi been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Lu Family's old residence.
He turned off his phone and continued staring at the screen.
There are only two items in the document.
March 3, 20XX.
Lu Muchi.
Lu Lin analyzed for a long time but still couldn't find a connection between the two.
Just as I was pondering this, Yan Heqing knocked on the door from the outside, " Lu Lin."
Lu Lin turned off the screen. "Come in."
Yan Heqing brought in a cup of coffee; it smelled familiar. Lu Lin stood up and came over to take the coffee. "Why did you suddenly decide to make coffee?"
"Relax."
Lu Lin switched hands to hold the coffee, her free hand stroking his hair, and said with a smile, "I took a year-end vacation. All these years combined, it's been about three months."
He wouldn't take a day off without a reason, Yan Heqing couldn't help but wonder, "Are you going fishing?"
Lu Lin slid his hand down, and using the available space, pulled the person into his arms. Even though they were the only two in the room, he lowered his voice and said slowly in his seductive tone, "I'll fish, but I'll wait for you. From now on, I'm going to properly fulfill my duties as a boyfriend."
The warm breath tickled the back of Yan Heqing's ear, and No. 1 Primary School patch of his translucent, cool skin gradually turned red. He asked, "What obligation?"
Lu Lin chuckled softly, his chest heaving slightly. "Like a shadow."
Chapter 114
Yan Heqing's eyelashes fluttered. "Do I have to take the exam too?"
Lu Lin hugged him tightly, "I want some too."
Lu Lin kept his word and followed her into the bedroom that very night.
But Yan Heqing had his final exams tomorrow, so after kissing him for a while, he pulled him into his arms and held him close, saying, "Goodnight."
Just like eating candy, Yan Heqing, having grown accustomed to Lu Lin's embrace, fell asleep in no time.
The soft orange light from the bedside lamp fell on Yan Heqing's sleeping face. Lu Lin watched him quietly for a long time before pulling him closer into his arms and closing his eyes to rest.
After breakfast, Lu Lin drove Yan Heqing to his exam.
The campus was quiet and deserted during the final exam season. Lu Lin was waiting for Yan Heqing outside while he was taking the exam.
After finishing the exam, Yan Heqing looked out the window. Layers upon layers of green trees obscured Lu Lin's view.
But he knew Lu Lin was there.
The days of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), with huge crowds of parents waiting outside the exam halls, were only last June.
This year, someone was also waiting for him outside the examination hall.
Yan Heqing withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to carefully check the answers.
Over the next few days, Yan Heqing focused on the exams. After finishing the last exam, Yan Heqing handed in his paper early.
I had just met up with Lu Lin when his phone rang.
It was a call from Mother Lin.
Judging from her voice, she had calmed down considerably. " Heqing, I'm boarding the plane now."
Yan Heqing's brow twitched slightly. "Where are you going?"
" Switzerland," Mother Lin said with a smile. " Fengyi chose it. He said the mountains and waters are beautiful, the place is quiet, and if you stay there for two or three years, your illness will naturally get better."
What time are you taking off?
"They're boarding, you don't need to come." Mother Lin had deliberately chosen this time. She paused for a few seconds, then continued, "He's still hiding in the treehouse. Fengxian is the only one left at home. He's steady and reliable; he'll handle things well from now on. I'm so sorry for what happened to you these past few days, and thank you too."
The polite greetings of flight attendants filled the background, Mother Lin smiled again, "Goodbye, Heqing. I hope you'll be happy when we meet again."
Mother Lin hung up the phone, Yan Heqing put away his phone. Before he could even think straight, Lu Lin interrupted him.
"Exams are over, let's relax tonight, how about going fishing?"
At the same location as last time, Lu Lin deliberately skipped dinner. He brought a tent and outdoor gear, planning to catch some fish, make fish soup, and then have a barbecue for dinner.
As a result, the two of them unexpectedly caught nothing today. Around nine o'clock, Yan Heqing finally caught a blackfish, weighing about four or five pounds.
Lu Lin chuckled softly, put down his fishing rod, and said, "I'll go cook."
Before leaving, he gave Yan Heqing's hair a big ruffle.
The two made a bet: whoever caught the fish first would become the boss and have no job.
Yan Heqing turned around and saw that their tent was pitched not far away. They were the only ones who came to fish on this lake, and under the vast starry sky, only their tent was lit up with a lamp.
Birdsong could be heard from afar from time to time.
One moment it's the four-note cuckoo, the next it's the hawk-cuckoo and the red-billed leiothrix.
A canopy was set up in front of the tent, but it was some distance away and the light was poor. All I could see was Lu Lin preparing the fish, frying it for a while, and then putting it on a wood fire to stew.
Soup cooked over a wood fire always tastes better.
They lit another charcoal fire; Yan Heqing liked beef, so Lu Lin brought all the beef skewers.
A large bunch of beef skewers covered the grill, and Lu Lin added a few sweet potatoes. Soon the air was filled with a delicious aroma. Yan Heqing couldn't eat spicy food, so Lu Lin sprinkled some barbecue powder and sesame seeds on them before gathering them up and placing them on a plate.
The fruit served was blueberries and mini pineapples, and the fish soup simmering over a wood fire was ready. Lu Lin brought it back to the table, then went back to the car to get a few cans of chilled beer before calling Yan Heqing to eat.
Yan Heqing caught another crab.
Just one.
Lu Lin came to call him for dinner. He looked at him for a few seconds, then put the crab back into the lake.
Perhaps there's another crab in the lake waiting for it to come home for dinner.
The lakeside was very cool on a summer night. Both of them were hungry, so they didn't chat much and focused on filling their stomachs first. "Want some beer?" Lu Lin opened a can of ice-cold beer with one hand, but didn't immediately offer it to Yan Heqing.
Yan Heqing nodded, Lu Lin then gave it to him.
After drinking half a can, Yan Heqing's cheeks were flushed red, but he was clearly not drunk. He was still quietly eating blueberries. Lu Lin looked at his face, his throat itching. After finishing the last sip of beer, he offered, "Do you want me to take you tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is Saturday, the day for the wine tasting.
Yan Heqing swallowed the blueberry, looked up at him, and a faint light flickered in her clear eyes. "Aren't we inseparable anymore?"
" Chu Ziyu has something to attend to; I'll go check on him."
Yan Heqing remained silent, continuing to eat his blueberries. Only after he finished did he speak again, "I'm going to a wine tasting tomorrow. Do you like wine? I'll bring some back for you."
