The principle of a prism: refracting light.
However, it was the first time he had ever seen it, so he found it rather strange. He nodded, straightened up slightly, walked to the window, and drew the curtains.
The room suddenly darkened. Just as Yan Heqing turned around, a light illuminated the floor in front of him. It was Lu Lin turning on his phone flashlight.
Yan Heqing went back using the light, and Lu Lin handed him his phone, saying, "To light the way."
Yan Heqing took it, and Lu Lin said to the little girl, "Open your hands."
The little girl nervously and expectantly opened her palm. Lu Lin adjusted the angle of the cube, held it into the light, and the next second, several beams of colorful light fell into the little girl's palm. A few surprised laughs erupted in the dormitory, "Rainbow!"
Yan Heqing's pupils also brightened briefly for a second.
Lu Lin didn't miss a single second out of the corner of his eye. He handed the cube back to the little girl's palm, then took back his phone and left.
After finishing his meal, the assistant received a call from Lu Lin. He responded with a few "okay" sounds, grabbed his car keys, and ran out of the cafeteria.
Lu Lin left, but the Lu Group's sponsorship didn't end. Yan Heqing worked with the Lu Group employees until six o'clock before leaving. After eating in the cafeteria, he rubbed his shoulders, picked up his bag, and was about to leave when someone suddenly called out to him, " Xiao Yan."
Only after Lu Lin left did Xu Qiaoyin dare to come out. She approached Yan Heqing with a black umbrella in her hand, and said cautiously, "Thank you for lending me the umbrella last time."
Yan Heqing smiled and took back the umbrella. "You're welcome. I'll be going now."
He didn't mention anything about what happened that morning. Just as he reached the door, Xu Qiaoyin called out to him again, "And... and this morning, thank you, I had a reason..."
Yan Heqing turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Everyone has privacy. You don't need to explain to me; I won't make things up."
Xu Qiaoyin was stunned. By the time she came to her senses, Yan Heqing had already walked far away.
After leaving the orphanage, Yan Heqing had only taken a few steps when someone chased after him, " Yan Heqing!"
Yan Heqing turned around and saw Lu Lin's assistant. Yan Heqing stopped.
The assistant ran forward, carrying a charity canvas bag, and took out a royal blue velvet box, handing it to Yan Heqing. " President Lu asked me to give this to you."
Yan Heqing was a little puzzled, but still accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
The assistant smiled politely, "This is my job, don't mention it. Goodbye then, and please drive safely."
Yan Heqing nodded.
After the assistant left, Yan Heqing opened the box. Inside lay a Cube of Light, just like the one given to the children, only slightly larger.
Back home, Yan Heqing took a shower and began reviewing the key points for tomorrow's exam. He didn't put down his books until 11 o'clock. Just as he turned off the light and was about to go to bed, he unexpectedly caught sight of the cube on the coffee table.
After standing quietly for a few seconds, Yan Heqing took the cube and walked to the bedside.
He turned on the desk lamp, squatted down, and lifted the cube into the lampshade.
A burst of colorful light shone forth, each ray clear and bright, even more beautiful than the ones I had seen at the orphanage during the day.
Yan Heqing slowly rotated the cube, and the overflowing light swirled in the air like sunlight.
A moment later, Yan Heqing raised his right hand and gently, tightly, grasped all the light into his palm.

At the same time, Lu Lin returned to the Lu Family's old house. The living room was brightly lit. Lu Lin opened the door and was changing his shoes when a hurried footstep approached, " Uncle Lu!"
Lu Lin changed his shoes and looked over. A strange young man stood in the entryway. He asked casually, "Who are you?"
Lin Fengzhi froze completely. He'd tossed and turned for two nights over what happened the night before, and finally decided to come find Lu Lin to explain: he and Lu Muchi had absolutely nothing to do with each other! But Lu Lin didn't remember him...
Does this mean that Lu Lin didn't look at him the night before last?
Lu Lin doesn't remember him at all!
Lin Fengzhi bit his lower lip hard, so hard that he quickly tasted blood in his mouth.
At this moment, another person came out of the living room. He was tall and his features were somewhat similar to Lu Lin's, but he was much older.
Lu Han and Lu Lin have always been distant, and he doesn't like his younger brother whom he hasn't spent many years with, but now Lu Lin is the current head of the Lu Group business.
Lu Han forced a smile, " A-Lin, don't you remember? This is Lin Youxiang's youngest son, Lin Fengzhi."
Lu Han went back to his ancestral home today to retrieve some things and ran into Lin Fengzhi at the entrance. He brought him in and only then remembered to ask, "By the way, Fengzhi, are you here to see Mu Chi? He's not coming back here tonight."
Lin Fengzhi lowered his head, feeling incredibly distressed. His mind was filled with only one thought: Lu Lin could never possibly like him; he didn't even remember who he was...
He feared he would break down if he stayed any longer, so he lowered his head and said with difficulty, "I'm leaving."
He ran away in a sorry state.
It was snowing outside, and the cold wind whipped snow against his face. Lin Fengzhi ran for a long time with his head down before finally stopping, hugging his knees, and tears welled up in his eyes.
His hands trembled as he pulled out his phone to call his mother. Just as he was about to press the call button, he changed his mind, worried that his Mother Lin would worry.
He swallowed the blood in his mouth, and for a moment he couldn't think of anyone else he could confide in.
Dad will definitely tell Mom that it's inconvenient for my eldest brother to talk about these things, and it's even more inconvenient for my second brother. He doesn't allow him to date, and he keeps telling him to study hard in college. He also can't confide his most private things to his other friends.
Two days ago, he would definitely have looked for Lu Muchi, but after what happened, he never wanted to see Lu Muchi again.
Lin Fengzhi even worse and cried silently for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
If it were him, he would comfort him unconditionally.
Buzzing.
Yan Heqing had just fallen asleep when his phone vibrated and woke him up. He opened his eyes, picked up the phone, saw the incoming call, hesitated for a moment, and answered the call just before it ended, "What...?"
He had barely opened his mouth when someone on the other end cried out, "Brother!"
Chapter 31
After 15 years, the word "brother" elicited no emotion from Yan Heqing, only a fleeting moment of confusion: he hadn't broken down the night before, so why was he crying now?
But he quickly composed himself and asked gently, "What happened? Why are you crying?"
