I can see him on Saturday!
I picked out a really pretty outfit, will he like it?
There were so many people attending the wedding banquet; I'm sure many women and men, like me, were there specifically for him!
I simply cannot bear the thought of him being taken away by someone else. I'm an adult now, and I can confess my feelings!
This time, definitely.
Successful confession!
Successful sacrifice!

As Yan Heqing recalled, he silently wrote down the diary entries Lin Fengzhi had written that day.
This diary entry is the one that drives Lu Muchi the most insane.
The original text describes how he went crazy countless times, refusing to believe that Lu Lin and Lin Fengzhi that night. Lin Fengzhi was completely naked and climbed into Lu Lin's bed on his own initiative. How could nothing have happened between them? How could they not have slept together!
However, it would still be a year before Lu Muchi discovered Lin Fengzhi's diary.
certainly.
Now Yan Heqing will let Lu Muchi find out in advance, and the method is the same as in the book—leaving it in Lu Muchi's car.
However, this time it wasn't Lin Fengzhi's diary, but his.
Yan Heqing stopped writing and put the pen cap back on.
I glanced at the time; it was almost 11 o'clock.
Yan Heqing rubbed his sore neck, grabbed a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After showering, he dried his hair until it was half dry, then went to the kitchen to check on the bait he was brewing. He opened the bucket, and a strong smell of fermented grains wafted out. The beige bait shone faintly under the orange light, a sign that it was almost ready.
Yan Heqing's eyelashes drooped, and a faint emotion flowed through his light brown pupils.
After so much preparation, the bait he had prepared for Lu Muchi was finally ready to be cast.

The next day, Yan Heqing went to work at the coffee shop as usual. After working one day, he switched shifts with the manager. He would have Saturday off and Sunday off.
The waiter asked in a sarcastic tone, "Going on a date on Saturday?"
Yan Heqing ignored him.
As it was time to leave work, the sky darkened and heavy snow began to fall. Yan Heqing glanced at the brightly lit Lu Group next door, opened his umbrella, and stepped into the snow.
After riding the subway for ten stops, Yan Heqing got off early. After exiting the subway, he found an affordable Western restaurant, sat down, and sent a message to Lu Muchi.
[I've made up my mind. Let's meet today and talk things out once and for all.]
A few minutes after sending the message, Lu Muchi called back, "Scared?"
He thought Yan Heqing was being manipulated by his student registration.
Yan Heqing's expression remained calm. "Yes, I'm scared."
"Where are you now?" Lu Muchi asked.
Yan Heqing told him the name of the shop.
Lu Muchi arrived in about forty minutes.
Snowflakes still clung to his overcoat as he sat down and scrutinized Yan Heqing.
It has to be said that Yan Heqing was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, even more so than Lin Fengzhi.
Especially now that Yan Heqing has gained some weight, her skin is no longer just plain white, but a luminous, snow-white that is even more alluring than the finest silk.
A strange longing rose within Lu Muchi; he wanted to pinch Yan Heqing's face, knowing it would be delicate and soft.
After being beaten so badly by Yan Heqing that his nose bled, Lu Muchi was initially furious, but when he got home, the more he thought about it, the more appealing Yan Heqing seemed.
He could easily give a docile little white rabbit as many as it wanted with a wave of his hand.
On the contrary, it is the thorny white rose like Yan Heqing that is more satisfying to conquer.
The more unattainable something is, the more Lu Muchi desires to possess it.
Sometimes Lu Muchi even wondered if he had pursued Lin Fengzhi, perhaps Lin Fengzhi wouldn't have become such an obsession for him, something he absolutely had to have.
"Speak," Lu Muchi intently at Yan Heqing, "How do you intend to explain yourself?"
Yan Heqing handed over the menu first, "Order first, it's on me."
Lu Muchi curled his lips into a smile, "Looks like you really care about your student status, you actually took the initiative to invite trash like me to dinner."
Yan Heqing's eyelids twitched, but he didn't speak, only looking at him indifferently. Lu Muchi raised an eyebrow, "Did I say something wrong? In your eyes, am I just a piece of trash with a few stinking bucks and no other use?"
"I used to be." Yan Heqing lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes completely obscuring his emotions. "Now I only think you're pathetic."
Lu Muchi's expression changed slightly. "Say that again!"
"You don't dare confess to the person you like." Yan Heqing, however, remained unfazed, her tone still calm. "Only daring to seek out people similar to him—what is this if not pathetic?"
Lu Muchi's expression grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, he gave a strange smirk, "Otherwise, with looks like yours, why would you catch my eye? If you didn't have this face—"
"I'm not like him at all." Yan Heqing looked up. "Have you ordered?"
He casually changed the subject, and Lu Muchi felt a lump in his throat. He glanced at the menu, then coldly beckoned a waiter over, "The same as him."
In the past, Lu Muchi would have already lost his temper.
But now, he's surprisingly patient.
Anyway, Yan Heqing is almost mine, so going along with him a little won't hurt.
The waiter took the order and left.
Two servings of pasta and steak were delivered quickly.
Yan Heqing slowly cut his steak. "Don't glare at me. Let's talk after I finish eating. I'm starving."
Lu Muchi's expression gradually became complicated. How dare Yan Heqing be so arrogant? Did he think that just because he was Lin Fengzhi's older brother, he couldn't do anything to him? No, before finding Lin Fengzhi, Yan Heqing didn't take him seriously either, looking at him like he was a piece of trash.
Perhaps out of habit, Lu Muchi wasn't angry; he quietly finished his inexpensive steak.
Before today, Lu Muchi had never imagined that he would eat a steak that cost 50 yuan a serving.
After finishing their meal, Yan Heqing went to the cashier to pay the bill. Lu Muchi Lu Muchi waited at the door, looking at Yan Heqing through the glass door.
Even during a simple queue, Yan Heqing was approached by several people within a few minutes.
There are both men and women.
It is indeed very popular.
Was Yan Heqing truly this dazzling in places he couldn't see?
