Then he saw Lu Lin's lips moving as if to say, "Don't listen."
At the same time, music was playing in my headphones.
[The winds blew up her bow dipped down
Oh Blow my bully boys blow Huh
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum]
wellerman.
The first song he let Lu Lin hear.
That time, he was implying to Lu Lin that he was the wounded whale, that he wanted to live, and that he wanted to rebel against the sailors on the ship.
Now Lu Lin is letting him hear it.
Tell him to ignore it.
Chapter 129
All that remained in the world was the music playing in my headphones and Lu Lin standing before me.
When he was little, his mother read him a fairy tale called "The Little Match Girl".
In the original text, the night before Lu Muchi took him to "donate" his eyes, he sat in that small, dark room with the windows sealed off, so the moonlight couldn't shine in. He lit two matches.
I can't remember which time it was, but he would secretly hide a box of matches and strike one on a dark day.
Today, only two matches remain in the box.
Just like in fairy tales, the lit match was so warm and bright, but he couldn't see his mother, father, or younger brother.
The flame went out, and the room went dark again. His eyes had long since adjusted to the environment, and he accurately found the last match.
"Sizzle."
With a soft murmur, a cluster of fire appeared before his eyes. He reached out, trying to grasp the fire.
My fingers hurt, but I can't grasp anything.
Mom, Dad, and younger brother.
His life...
Yan Heqing suddenly grabbed Lu Lin's hand. It was warm and dry. This time, he finally held it.
Yan Heqing gripped Lu Lin's hand tightly, as if trying to squeeze it into Lu Lin's flesh.
Lu Lin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly grasped Yan Heqing's hand and led him away.
As we approached the elevator, we heard hurried footsteps approaching; doctors and nurses rushed towards us.
I went straight to the ward.
They were going to give Lu Muchi a sedative.
However, Yan Heqing couldn't hear anything. After returning to the car, Lu Lin took off his headphones and fastened Yan Heqing's seatbelt.
I'll take you home first.
Lu Lin didn't say it, but Yan Heqing could guess that Lu Lin was going to see Lu Ruchan.
Lu Changcheng is now desperate and capable of anything. After he deals with Cheng Jian, he will take his anger out on Lu Ruchan.
"I'm going too," Yan Heqing said, looking at Lu Lin. "I want to go with you."
Seeing his determination, Lu Lin nodded, sat back in his seat, and fastened his seatbelt. He first called Lu Ruchan's nanny, asking her to block calls from anyone other than him. After hanging up, he dialed another number to arrange for his private jet to apply for a flight route and take off at 3 p. m.
He then turned on some soothing music and started the car. "I have an island at sea. I'll take Mom there later. You should go and see it too. If you like it, we can have our wedding on the island."
Lu Lin wanted to stay on the island.
He didn't pursue a grand wedding; having close friends and family to bless him and Yan Heqing was enough. Besides, these were turbulent times, and he didn't want Yan Heqing to be involved in any more danger.
However, Yan Heqing was younger than him, and his views on weddings might not be the same as his.
Yan Heqing had no requirements for the wedding; as long as Lu Lin was there, it was fine. "No need to look, I'll definitely like it."
These words immediately lightened the atmosphere considerably, Lu Lin chuckled, "How would you know if you didn't look?"
Yan Heqing smiled and said, "I like any place where I can fish."
When they reached a red light, Lu Lin stopped the car, freed his hand, and shook hands with Yan Heqing. "Then it's settled."
The light turned green, and the car started moving again. Lu Lin suddenly remembered something. "What were you going to say before we went upstairs?"
Yan Heqing recalled for a few seconds, remembering that he had wanted to tell Lu Lin about his awakening.
But now.
He thought it was unnecessary.
It doesn't matter anymore.
He shook his head. "I forgot."
Lu Lin didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he didn't ask any further. Instead, he changed the subject, "Professor DV's internship positions are out. If you want to know in advance, I'll accept a bribe."
Yan Heqing's pupils widened slightly. He thought for a moment, then turned to the side, opened the armrest box, took out a bag of dried pineapple, tore it open, and fed a piece to Lu Lin.
Then the music changed, and a lively melody began.
Lu Lin chewed on a piece of dried pineapple. "Isn't your bribe a bit too cheap?"
"Here's another one." Yan Heqing fed the remaining piece to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin chewed slowly, and only after finishing did he say, "There's one spot Beijing University."
The shiny candy wrapper of the dried pineapple made a slight rustling sound; Yan Heqing was definitely nervous.
Lu Lin immediately said, "It's you."
Yan Heqing's mind went blank for a moment before he came back to his senses.
Where is Gu Xingye?
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in winning; it's just that Gu Xingye was indeed outstanding and worked very hard.
Lu Lin knew he would ask, so he inquired beforehand, "Another professor extended an olive branch to him, but he withdrew his report midway."
Yan Heqing nodded, just like the day he received his college entrance exam scores.
He took out his phone, logged into WeChat, and reread the group files for Class 2 of Life Sciences.
The internship period is from August 2nd to October 27th.
He turned to Lu Lin and said, "We're leaving on August 2nd."
Lu Lin knew that he had checked the time immediately upon receiving the message.
The flight back from country C takes 11 hours, and it happens to be the 28th, Yan Heqing's birthday.
He responded but didn't say anything. They arrived at the sanatorium villa before lunch.
Seeing that they had all arrived together, Lu Ruchan was visibly more energetic. She happily told the kitchen to prepare more dishes, and excitedly wheeled herself to the kitchen, saying, "It's hot, I'll go make some mint and mung bean soup for Heqing to cool him down."
"Mom." Lu Lin knelt down and straightened the thin blanket on Lu Ruchan's knees. "We're in a hurry, let's eat on the plane."
Lu Ruchan was still laughing, "What?"
