Then Lin Fengyi added somewhat sourly, "You're so happy about a figurine? I remember you liked Transformers when you were little. Maybe he made that up."
"Why would I be fooled?" Lin Fengzhi said dismissively, toying with the Ultraman toy. "Besides, he wouldn't get anything out of lying to me; I even received a gift."
Lin Fengzhi just finished showering, and his body still smelled faintly of shower gel. His black hair was fluffy and soft, and Lin Fengyi couldn't help but ruffle his hair. "If you like it, I'll buy you all the Ultraman tomorrow."
"No, I don't like it right now." Lin Fengzhi didn't finish his sentence.
He'll only accept it if Lu Lin buys it.
If Lu Lin were to give him a gift—not Ultraman, not Transformers, but just a pen or a piece of paper—as long as it was bought by Lu Lin, he would be the happiest person in the world!
Lin Fengzhi's heartbeat grew louder. He gently pinched the Ultraman between his fingers and asked casually, "Second Brother, I heard your friend surnamed Xie is getting married?"
"A friend surnamed Xie?" Lin Fengyi reacted after a few seconds. " Xie Yunjie, that's right, the wedding is this Saturday."
Lin Fengzhi's mind started racing. Xie Yunjie was Lu Lin's good friend, and Lu Lin would definitely attend his wedding. Lin Fengzhi immediately abandoned Ultraman, shifted his position, turned around, and looked up at Lin Fengyi with bright eyes, "Second Brother, can you take me with you? I want to see the bride!"
Lin Fengyi teased him, "Oh, you're just starting to fall in love and want to find a woman to marry?"
Lin Fengzhi's eyes darted around.
I want to get married.
But not with women.
If he's going to get married, it must be to Lu Lin.
Just thinking about his wedding with Lu Lin Fengzhi so excited that all ten of his toes curled up.
"I'm going anyway," he emphasized.
"Okay." Lin Fengyi ruffled Lin Fengzhi's hair again, his eyes full of doting affection. "I'll take you there."

Lu Lin received a message notification on WeChat.
He doesn't have many personal WeChat friends, just Xie Yunjie, Chu Ziyu, and the Lu Family.
And, 52 Hertz.
Lu Lin opened WeChat; it was a small group chat between him and Xie Chu.
Chu Ziyu: " Old Xie, when and where is your wedding again?"
Xie Yunjie, "Saturday at 2 PM, Pine Blossoms Brew Spring."
Chu Ziyu: "Oh, this hotel is nice, and the sweet fermented rice balls are delicious! Have you booked your honeymoon yet? If not, I'll give you a month-long honeymoon trip, you can choose the destination."
Xie Yunjie: "Tsk, it's not like we really want to get married. Neither of us wants the hassle. The wedding is just a formality, and we'll skip the honeymoon."
Chu Ziyu empathized. "I feel like I'm seeing my future... Sigh, President Old Lu @Lu Lin, what's going on between you and that bartender? Are you just playing around or do you genuinely like her?"
He was unaware that nothing happened in the private room that night.
Lu Lin didn't reply; he left the group.
The next message is a chat window with 52 Hertz, where we've been friends for half a month, but the page is still blank.
Lu Lin clicked into Yan Heqing's Moments, and like his own, it was all blank.
Lu Lin turned off his phone and continued reviewing the plan.
This is Lu Group's latest public welfare project.
The theme park invested by the Lu Group in the capital, costing 35 billion yuan, has been completed and is undergoing trial operation for several months. It is expected to officially open after the Lunar New Year.
To create a world-class dreamlike children's amusement park, the publicity department submitted a plan to invite children from welfare homes across the country to visit the park on opening day.
The proposed recipient from the capital city is the Happy Blue Sky Welfare Home.
Lu Lin made a phone call, "All schedules for tomorrow afternoon are cancelled. Instead, we'll go to the Rainbow Bridge Welfare Home."
Rumble.
It started pouring rain early in the morning. Yan Heqing walked out of the subway station with an umbrella. The water and sky were one color, and he could not see the road at all.
By the time he arrived at the coffee shop, both of his trouser legs were soaked.
Yan Heqing was the first to arrive at the store again. He changed into his uniform and cleaned the store. Another male employee and Zhang Qing arrived one after the other.
"Winter rain is like a biological weapon," the male shop assistant complained, shivering. "The boss should give us a raise for coming to work in this kind of weather."
Zhang Qing pursed her lips, ignored him, wiped the rain off her face, and greeted Yan Heqing with a smile, "Good morning, Xiao Yan."
I was initially annoyed by the rainy day, but when I came in and saw Yan Heqing quietly wiping cups, my mood instantly brightened.
Handsome men are truly like vitamins!
Yan Heqing smiled slightly, "Good morning."
Just as he finished speaking, Yan Heqing's phone rang. It was WeChat from Rainbow Bridge Welfare Home.
[Your application has been approved. Please bring your ID card and student ID to the welfare home at 2 PM this afternoon for a detailed discussion.]
Chapter 25
After finishing his morning work, Yan Heqing asked the store manager for the afternoon off.
The rain stopped, but Yan Heqing still habitually took an umbrella with him.
Rainbow Bridge Welfare Home is a half-hour walk from the nearest subway station. When you exit the subway station, the road is still wet and puddles. The first few streets are fine, but the road conditions worsen as you turn into the side streets.
The road was only half-dug up, covered in yellow mud and dirty water. All the shops along the road were dilapidated, and most of them had closed down, with only a few small shops still open.
One of them is a convenience store.
Yan Heqing pushed open the door and went in. The owner, who was also the cashier, was watching a TV series. The sound of a woman crying was coming from the computer. The owner was so engrossed in watching that he didn't even react when a customer came in.
Yan Heqing grabbed the largest shopping basket, walked to the shelf, and started taking things from the first row without looking at the labels.
Bread, biscuits, wafers, chocolate... and fresh yogurt.
Yan Heqing remembered very clearly that Lin Fengzhi used to especially love strawberry yogurt. It was sweet and sour with tiny bits of strawberry pulp. Every time, Lin Fengzhi would lick the box clean, then look at him longingly, "Brother, I want more!"
He would always save his own for Lin Fengzhi.
Yan Heqing brought a lot of yogurt, in various flavors, some with large pieces of fruit, and two cases of pure milk.
When he went to pay with his things, the shop owner was stunned.
