I had just stepped onto the main road when my assistant called.

" President Lu, the moving company is downstairs. How long will it take you and Mr. Yan to arrive?"

Lu Lin sped up, "20 minutes."

Chapter 133

In the downtown apartment, movers efficiently packed Lu Lin's belongings, which he was moving to the Beijing University housing area.

There wasn't much else, just some books and supplies, mainly flowers on the terrace.

From now on, when I permanently reside in the family quarters, I will definitely move the flower there to take care of it.

After the moving company finished packing and delivered the items downstairs, Lu Lin and Yan Heqing went back to Yan Heqing's rented apartment.

Yan Heqing went abroad to study in early August and returned at the end of October. His lease was about to expire, so he decided to move out today since it was a good time to move into his new home.

Yan Heqing moved all his books over there, leaving only some miscellaneous items.

The most important thing is the radiator.

The apartments in the family quarters have underfloor heating and central air conditioning, but Yan Heqing still brought it along. Lu Lin noticed this, his eyes darkening slightly. "Why are you bringing it?"

Yan Heqing is still unsure who delivered the radiators.

But whether it was the year-end bonus from the coffee shop or the gift from Lu Lin, they were both equally precious to him.

"This was a gift I received during the coldest time of the year." Yan Heqing squatted down and pulled a cardboard box from under the bed. It was in its original packaging; he hadn't thrown it away. "I wanted to keep it."

Lu Lin watched as Yan Heqing patiently wiped the dust off the box. He squatted down as well, gazing at Yan's long, thick eyelashes. He had so much to say, but when it came to his lips, he only managed to utter one sentence. "Bring everything you want."

Actually, there's nothing else left, just a rice cooker, which was a prize I redeemed with points when I went to the arcade with Chu Ziyu last time.

Yan Heqing installed the radiator, and then packed up the remaining odds and ends into two cardboard boxes. He would put them next to the trash can later, so anyone who needed them could take them.

After cleaning up, Yan Heqing took some photos and posted them on the school forum for subletting.

The apartment had more than three months left, and the rent was close to 5,000 yuan, so he listed it for three months at 4,000 yuan.

After posting, Yan Heqing put away his phone, looked up and found Lu Lin looking at him. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lin chuckled and ruffled his hair. "It's nothing, shall we go now?"

Yan Heqing nodded, "Okay."

He carried two boxes of old things, while Lu Lin carried a rice cooker and a radiator. They then closed the door and went downstairs.

The two walked and talked about the design of the invitations. As soon as they left the apartment building, Lu Lin looked diagonally ahead and his eyes turned cold.

Yan Heqing followed his gaze curiously and saw a young man with a somewhat unfamiliar face, holding a bouquet of flowers and staring blankly at them.

Yan Heqing thought for a few seconds and then remembered.

Feng Zhixian.

Feng Zhixian Yan Heqing was surprised by Feng Zhixian's appearance, and Feng Zhixian even more surprised to see him coming out of the building with Lu Lin.

Feng Zhixian and Lu Lin had met once at the Oxygen bar, and he knew Lu Lin's identity.

It's hard to reconcile this man with the image of someone carrying a rice cooker in his left hand and a cardboard box in his right.

Is Yan Heqing dating Lu Lin now?

Feng Zhixian's feelings were incredibly complicated. He liked Yan Heqing, and he still did.

On New Year's Eve, he anonymously sent a New Year's greeting text message to Yan Heqing, but Yan Heqing did not reply.

After enduring it for months, Feng Zhixian couldn't resist and went to see Yan Heqing. What if they broke up?

Unfortunately, I haven't run into Yan Heqing despite visiting several times.

Today he bought another bouquet of flowers to try his luck.

We did run into it this time, but it would have been better if we hadn't.

Lu Lin is even more unapproachable than the previous wealthy young master... and he is no match for Lu Lin either.

Feng Zhixian was utterly disheartened. Under Lu Lin's increasingly cold gaze, he didn't even have the courage to say goodbye to Yan Heqing. He hugged the flowers tightly, turned around like a passerby, and walked away quickly.

Lu Lin looked away and said to Yan Heqing casually, "Let's go."

Yan Heqing wasn't sure if Lu Lin remembered Feng Zhixian, but she still took the initiative to say, "His name is Feng Zhixian, and he's a regular at the Oxygen Bar."

Lu Lin smiled. "No need to explain, the past is unimportant."

Yan Heqing felt that Lu Lin's words had a hidden meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he didn't say anything more. He put the cardboard box down in the trash can, got in the car, and went to the family quarters.

They arrived a while later, and the moving company didn't arrive.

After moving everything, Lu Lin and Yan Heqing were arranging flower pots on the balcony when Chu Ziyu called, " Heqing, are you with President Old Lu?"

Ever since Chu Ziyu got Yan Heqing's number, he always contacted Yan Heqing first when looking for someone.

Chu Ziyu had a loud voice, and Lu Lin heard him too, replying directly, "What is it?"

"Hehe." Chu Ziyu chuckled a few times, "This profit is all thanks to President Lu. I should at least express my gratitude. Come on, come out quickly, what do you want to eat or do? It's on me!"

Lu Lin actually thought of a place, "Dinner's on hold, let's meet at Oxygen at nine tonight."

"Huh, are you guys having a bachelor/bachelor party too?" Chu Ziyu said, then realized something was off. "Wait a minute, why would you two be having a bachelor/bachelor party together?"

Xie Yunjie was right next to Chu Ziyu. When he heard that Lu Lin was going to Oxygen, he quickly understood and said into his phone, "It's settled, see you at nine!" and then hung up.

Chu Ziyu complained, "I hadn't even asked clearly yet, why did you hang up!"

Xie Yunjie shook his head dismissively, "You deserve to be dumped 100 times."

"Don't make personal attacks, and don't exaggerate the numbers," Chu Ziyu corrected him. "From elementary school until now, it's a total of 99 times."

Xie Yunjie was too lazy to argue with him. "I'm hungry. Let's find somewhere to fill our stomachs. You're not getting any free food this time."

"Who wants to save money? I've got the money." Chu Ziyu opened the car door to get in, but then felt uneasy and turned back to ask, "You're smart, tell me why A-Lin wants to go to Oxygen? To save me money?"

Xie Yunjie was impressed. "I'm really happy for your dad. If it weren't for your brother, the Chu family would have been in big trouble. Don't you even think about where A-Lin and Heqing met?"

Chu Ziyu pondered for a while, then finally uttered a "Damn."
