The two grown men entered a children's clothing store for the first time. Faced with a dazzling array of adorable, sparkly dresses, Yan Heqing looked hesitant and turned to Lu Lin, "Shall we buy Snow White?"
Lu Lin chuckled, "I have no experience either."
Yan Heqing asked in confusion, "You didn't give them any gifts before?"
"It's always the assistant who prepares it every year."
Yan Heqing then asked, "Do you have a photo of her?"
Lu Lin took out his phone and handed it to him, "Check her WeChat Moments. Her father is Lu Sui'an."
Yan Heqing took the phone, tapped the screen, and suddenly froze.
The wallpaper depicts a space-time interplay of light and shadow, with a slender silhouette showing only half of her profile.
But Yan Heqing recognized him; it was him.
This is where Lu Lin took him to practice driving.
Yan Heqing was unaware that Lu Lin had taken a picture of him and even set it as his wallpaper.
He glanced at Lu Lin, but Lu Lin caught him.
Lu Lin glanced at his slightly reddened earlobe, his expression natural, showing no embarrassment at being caught taking pictures. Instead, he said, "Let me take a few more when I have time, so we can use them interchangeably."
Instead, Yan Heqing avoided his gaze and lowered her head to open Lu Lin's WeChat.
It's normal for lovers to use each other's photos as phone wallpapers, but Yan Heqing was lost in thought.
So much so that he didn't realize until he came to his senses that he had liked several of Lu Lin's posts on WeChat Moments.
It's all Chu Ziyu.
It was too late to cancel; Chu Ziyu's chat window kept popping up.
"Am I seeing things? President Lu liked my post??"
"Haha, President Lu, you didn't accidentally take a screenshot, did you?!"
Yan Heqing showed it to Lu Lin Lu Lin simply slid his hand down, saying, "Ignore him."
They only stopped when they reached Lu Sui'an.
My WeChat Moments feed is full of pictures of daughters.
The little girl was fair-skinned and chubby, and looked cute and pretty no matter how she was photographed. Yan Heqing observed her for a while and discovered that the little girl liked pink and blue.
He picked out a light blue multi-layered tulle princess dress for the little girl, and paired it with a pair of sparkly silver leather shoes.
He didn't use Lu Lin's supplementary card when paying the bill. When Lu Lin looked over, he smiled and said, "It's not sincere to use the old uncle's money for the new uncle's first gift."
Yan Heqing has been smiling a lot more lately.
It wasn't a distant, polite smile; there was a smile in her eyes too. Her light-colored eyes shone brightly, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Several customers in the store secretly glanced at Yan Heqing several times.
Lu Lin endured it for a while, and after buying the gifts and leaving the store, he immediately took her hand and got into the car, kissing her deeply for a long time, his voice warm and affectionate, "We'll leave after we eat tomorrow."
Tomorrow, Lu Muchi's detention period will end, and he will also attend the Lu Family's banquet. Yan Heqing's eyelashes fluttered, "Because of Lu..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was silenced again, but this time it was less intense. His burning lips gently caressed Yan Heqing's lips, and Lu Lin's voice was filled with heat.
Don't smile at anyone.
"Except for me."
Chapter 123
Yan Heqing's eyelashes fluttered.
"Not even your little niece?"
Knowing that Lu Lin didn't mean it that way, and that he was teasing Lu Lin, Lu Lin didn't take the bait. He lightly pressed his thumb behind Yan Heqing's ear and said, "Say yes quickly."
Yan Heqing looked at him, his eyes suddenly brightening. He raised his hand to encircle Lu Lin Lu Lin's neck, tilted his head slightly to his ear, and whispered clearly, "I've always done it this way."
Upon hearing Yan Heqing's name, Lu Lin's throat tightened to the point of pain. He squinted, suddenly released Yan Heqing, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Just as Yan Heqing was about to ask him where he was going, Lu Lin closed the door, took a few steps into the driver's seat, unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt with one hand, and turned up the air conditioning.
"Let's eat out today." Lu Lin started the car.
He must have had plans in mind; this time he didn't ask Yan Heqing and set off directly.
Yan Heqing propped himself up, his clothes slightly disheveled from being kissed by Lu Lin for a while. He straightened his clothes, leaned forward, opened the armrest box, and took out a bag of dried pineapple.
She tore open a piece and gave it to Lu Lin first, saying, "It's 3 o'clock now."
Lunch was too late, and dinner was too early.
Lu Lin's lips were almost touching the dried pineapple when he stopped and said, "Let's go for a spa treatment first."
Only then did he eat the dried pineapple.
The spa is not far from the mall; it's just across one traffic light.
It was Yan Heqing's first time getting a spa treatment. After showering and drinking a cup of herbal tea, he came out wearing his special massage clothes, and Lu Lin was already giving him a massage.
The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint scent of lavender. A sheer curtain separated the two beds.
Lu Lin's eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yan Heqing tiptoed to the empty bed, lay down as instructed by the masseuse, who then removed his shirt, applied essential oil, and began the massage.
The force was just right, but Yan Heqing's brows furrowed in pain, and a soft cry of pain unconsciously escaped his lips.
"You have dampness in your body, so it's normal for it to hurt at first. If it still hurts later, stop massaging." Before the technician could explain, a voice came from the side.
Yan Heqing turned his head and, through the half-covered white veil, saw that Lu Lin was not asleep at all, and was looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
I don't know how long I've been watching.
They had done more intimate things together, but Yan Heqing's ears still turned bright red quickly. "Hmm." He turned his head to stare ahead, the pain in his back lessening considerably. After a while, he gently turned his head again.
It caught Lu Lin's eye.
This time, Yan Heqing didn't avoid it. She and Lu Lin stared at each other quietly, and gradually the pain subsided.
After the massage, the two masseuses left the room, closed the door, and played soothing music for them to rest.
Only when he and Lu Lin did Yan Heqing feel at ease enough to close his eyes, letting sleepiness wash over him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the music in the room had stopped, and the sound of rain was pattering outside the window. Before his vision was clear, he was hugged from behind by a familiar scent.
"How are you feeling?" Lu Lin carried him into the changing room.
He was only put down on the stool.
Yan Heqing moved a couple of times after landing. Apart from a slight pain in her shoulder blades, the rest of her body felt incredibly flexible.
He nodded. "Much more comfortable."
