Be Happy, Be Free

Be happy, be free.

The six simple words were laden with complex emotions.

Su Yan was a little angry.

If he was going to leave, he could have at least left him a few more words.

What was he trying to express with these six words?

Thinking about it now, it was somewhat ironic.

Looking closely now, he saw small notes stuck on every piece of furniture—the refrigerator, the TV, the wardrobe…

The password to this apartment had always been Su Yan’s birthday.

Lu Lin was indicating that he could come and stay for a while whenever he wanted.

It was as if they hadn’t separated at all, as if Lu Lin had just gone out for a few days.

But reality was often the opposite.

Su Yan slumped to the floor, his back against the edge of the sofa, feeling completely dejected.

Then he thought of sending a message, only to find that the man had been so absolute as to delete his account directly.

Su Yan felt a pang of anguish, struggling to breathe, his vision gradually blurring as he sent a message to Qi Zhiyao with trembling fingertips.

[sy: Do you know where Lu Lin went?]

The reply was instantaneous.

[77: No, what’s wrong? Is something the matter?]

Having been by Su Yan’s side for so long, he could easily sense his emotions.

The message notification chimed several times, but not wanting to make anyone worry, he still replied.

[sy: It’s nothing. ]

He turned off his phone and sat on the cold floor, tears streaming through his fingers.

Lu Lin was always like this, always shouldering everything himself.

He would come and provoke him, then leave just as quickly, bottling up all his frustrations.

But life had to go on.

He shut himself in his room and cried for a long time, crying until the world turned dark, until he had shed all the tears he had for this lifetime.

He didn’t stay in Lu Lin’s apartment.

That place was filled with everything related to Lu Lin.

He only took a single piece of Lu Lin’s clothing.

During the summer vacation, he didn’t return to his own home but to his small apartment.

After he washed up, droplets of water dripped from his bangs onto the floor.

He didn’t like blow-drying his hair; he found it troublesome.

Su Yan walked to the living room, bent down, and smiled at a certain corner.

He had long known that Lu Lin had installed several miniature cameras in his home.

He didn’t know if Lu Lin was watching right now.

He thought, he probably was.

So, for the next few days, whether in the living room or his own room, he would carry the doll Lu Lin had given him, occasionally saying a few words to it.

He would even bring it along when he ate, always explaining to the little doll what the food tasted like.

As he talked, he would let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Would a person who would go so far as to delete his account, a person who left only six words when he left, really listen to him ramble on like this?

This doll, in fact, was also a gift from Lu Lin, and it also had a miniature camera.

During another one of his “eating broadcasts,” Chen Xubai sent him a message.

[Chen Chen: Are you free during the summer vacation? Want to go on a trip together? I heard about what happened to you recently. There’s an old saying, a person can’t just stand still. ]

This old saying was not that old saying.

He had originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

He would just treat it as a way to clear his head.

****

Soon, the day of the trip arrived.

Su Yan picked up a pen and paper and casually wrote down a few words.

On a trip, don’t worry. 

He stood the note up in front of the doll’s chest.

On the first day of their trip, the three of them had arranged to go shopping for snacks, playing cards, and other things.

They bought high-speed rail tickets to Yunnan for early in the morning.

They waited at the entrance of the shopping mall, the agreed-upon meeting place.

Su Yan looked at the Chen in front of him and finally remembered to ask the most important question.

“Who’s going?”

Chen Xubai scratched his head, a little shy, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth in a low voice, “My girlfriend… and…”

Su Yan understood in a second and nodded.

“Congratulations, you finally got together. “

“So who else?” Su Yan asked, fiddling with his phone and glancing at him faintly.

“And me!” Qi Zhiyao’s voice came from behind.

He was wearing a pair of light-colored overalls, looking quite eye-catching.

“You guys know each other?” Su Yan was a little shocked, pointing at the two of them.

“Yanyan, you forgot again that we’re all in the same class. “

“I added him before because of something, and then I saw his Moments. I also heard you were coming, so aren’t I here to keep you company and help you feel better?” Qi Zhiyao asked, cupping his face in his hands with an exaggeratedly dramatic expression.

Su Yan pushed the large face in front of him away; he had no fetish for making out with his good brother on the street.

He forced a smile, but Qi Zhiyao stopped him.

“Come on, that looks terrible. “

“Stop with the bitter smile. “

Su Yan: “…”

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Xubai led the two of them into the mall.

As the number one snack lover, Qi Zhiyao was the first to break away from the main group, pushing a cart himself and heading towards the snack aisle.

Su Yan frowned slightly and asked, “Is it just the four of us?”

Chen Xubai’s hand, reaching for a bag of chips, paused.

He asked in confusion, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”

Su Yan pointed at the shopping cart, a fake smile on his face.

“Four people, and one, two, three… twenty, you took twenty large bags of potato chips. “

This was a statement of fact.

“Oh, my girlfriend loves them. It’s never wrong to get a little extra,” Chen Xubai said, only mentioning the keywords, his face blushing to the roots of his neck.

Su Yan: “Alright then. “

In the end, they bought countless bags of snacks.

“Let’s each take some,” Chen Xubai said as he distributed the snacks from the bags.

This trip, he had hardly ever left Haishi, usually just staying around the school.

The money Lu Lin had given him, he had only used it out of desperation when his mother was sick a few years ago.

He always felt that this money had come too easily, and he didn’t feel he deserved it.

He was so excited that his steps were unsteady, as if he had drunk fake wine.

“Is Yunnan fun? Is Dali fun? This is my first time traveling!”

“I’ve wanted to go and play before, but I was too busy…”

“A person has to have fun to have the motivation to live,” Qi Zhiyao said a lot at once, even putting his arm around Su Yan’s shoulder.

Su Yan was quite absent-minded.

After all, he had just been broken up with, so he needed some time to recover!

He lowered his gaze, kicking at an innocent pebble on the roadside, nodding in affirmation as he listened to Qi Zhiyao.

“Yanyan, you’re not the type to give up on yourself,” Qi Zhiyao said, then smiled at him, hailed a taxi, and went home.

That sentence kept echoing in his head, creating a ripple in his heart.

****

When the four of them were on the high-speed rail, Qi Zhiyao was the most excited, looking around like a child who had never seen the world before, his phone’s photo album filling up with picture after picture.

Haishi was still some distance from Yunnan.

Before long, even Qi Zhiyao was tired.

By the time they reached the guesthouse they had booked, it was already getting dark.

Chen Xubai’s girlfriend was in charge of booking the guesthouse.

She had specifically chosen a suite very close to Erhai Lake, with three bedrooms and one living room.

Only one room had a floor-to-ceiling window directly facing the lake.

Su Yan had thought the three of them would argue over it, but he didn’t care; staying in any room was the same.

“Yanyan, you should stay in this room. “

“Su Yan, you should stay here. “

It turned out they had already discussed it beforehand.

Seeing that Su Yan was not in a good state after his breakup, they tried to accommodate him as much as possible.

“Ah? Thanks, but you guys don’t have to do this,” Su Yan was genuinely touched, looking up at the three of them.

He then offered to give the room to Youli, but the three of them pretended not to hear and went about unpacking their things.

Su Yan was moved beyond words.

After sitting in a car all day, everyone’s butts were sore, let alone going out to play today.

The main point of a trip was comfort.

So they simply ordered some barbecue and fried rice at the guesthouse and bought a few cans of beer downstairs.

Only when you’re drunk can you be effectively numbed.

The weather in Yunnan was very good.

Looking up, you were almost always greeted by a sky as blue as a sapphire, which would lift your spirits considerably.

“Let me say something fair, that kid Lu Lin really did something wrong,” Chen Xubai said with a slurred tongue, slamming his hand on the table.

Why wasn’t he calling him “Dad” at a time like this?

“He’s too selfish!” Su Yan had been holding it in for days, and now he felt terrible, finally voicing his inner thoughts.

“He dumps you just like that! What’s wrong with this guy?! I’ll introduce you to someone else,” drunk Chen Xubai blurted out.

Su Yan: …It hasn’t been that often.

Before Chen Xubai could make a call to summon someone, his phone rang abruptly.

He picked it up, squinting at it.

It was an unknown number.

He answered without hesitation.

“Hello, who is this?”

The other side was silent for a long time before a cold chuckle came through.

“Chen Xubai…”

Chen Xubai swallowed hard.

How did he know he had been badmouthing him?

After hanging up, he immediately changed the subject with a dry laugh, now much more sober.

“I still think cucumber-flavored chips are the best. “

Su Yan: “?”

It was already four in the morning by the time they finished eating.

Su Yan lay lazily on the carpet in a star shape.

“Let’s go watch the sunrise. “

He had thought he would be rejected, but who knew that the three of them would light up.

“Sure, how youthful. “

After getting drunk, Chen Xubai’s girlfriend, Youli, was like a different person.

Her first impression was that of a sweet girl who spoke softly, but now:

Youli held a wine glass to her mouth like a microphone, her foot stomping fiercely on a stool.

“Let me tell you who’s the boss here!”

Su Yan didn’t want to participate in this kind of king’s game for the time being.

He sat alone on the sofa, hugging his knees and looking out.

Over in the living room, Qi Zhiyao and Chen Xubai both cupped their fists in compliance.

“It’s you! “

“Your Majesty, the Queen. “

Su Yan: “…”

I’m very sad inside, but what do I do if my mouth wants to laugh?

“…”

In the end, the group of drunkards couldn’t even walk straight, staggering and falling asleep in the living room.

Su Yan took a black jacket from his suitcase and put it on, zipping it up tightly to keep the cold air out.

He glanced at the people in the room, and with a bang, he closed the door, rubbed his hands together, and went to watch the sunrise by Erhai Lake alone.

The weather forecast said it would be sunny today, but there were many layers of dark clouds above the lake.

Su Yan was never a patient person, but today he just wanted to wait for this sunrise.

If he couldn’t see it, he would feel empty inside.

It was too early at this time, and there were not many people on the road around the lake.

A little later, it would be surrounded by bicycles.

Su Yan randomly found a spot to sit down, quietly staring at the area around the lake.

After a long time, he still hadn’t seen it.

A few people of the same age came by, fooling around.

They should also be waiting for the sunrise.

One of them, a carefree boy, walked over with a bento box of sandwiches.

“Want one?”

Only then did Su Yan realize he was being asked.

He smiled, and although he wasn’t very hungry, he still took a strawberry-flavored one.

“Why are you alone?”

“Are you here to clear your head after a breakup?”

All the questions hit his fragile heart.

Did this person have mind-reading powers?

The boy realized he was being a bit rude.

Without waiting for an answer, he waved goodbye to Su Yan and returned to his small group.

“So beautiful,” an exclaimed voice made Su Yan look up.

The rising sun dyed the lake a beautiful orange, making people sigh in awe.

Su Yan took in the scenery, leaned against a large rock, hid his hands in his sleeves, his heart calm and undisturbed.

The sound of laughter and fooling around from next door still reached his ears from time to time.

After watching, he went back without even taking a single photo.

For the next few days, he didn’t go out much and loved to sit by the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze.

The three of them knew he was not feeling well and didn’t try to persuade him.

“Why are you all so tan?” After a few days, Su Yan couldn’t help but ask this question.

Scene reconstruction:

Youli: “You guys should come and put on some sunscreen. “

Qi Zhiyao: “Okay!”

Chen Xubai: “Hmph, a man afraid of a little sun?” (Youli not only applied sunscreen but also wore a sun protection mask. )

“So he got sunburned? “

“Red and black,” Su Yan asked.

“It’s not really a sunburn. “

“I’ve always thought tan skin is very manly,” Chen Xubai said, finding the most perfect excuse, only to find that the three of them hadn’t responded to him and had walked to the dining table.

Chen Xubai: A man is not afraid of the sun, but of the cold shoulder QWQ.

****

“I have to go abroad for a trip,” this was the sentence Su Yan left for Chen Xubai.

Did Lu Lin think he was the only one who could play dirty tricks?

He sneered as he looked at the location displayed on his phone.

“So he’s in America. “

When Chen Xubai saw him off at the airport, he tried to persuade him a few times.

“Are you really going alone?”

“Mm. “

“While my visa is still valid,” Su Yan said, forcing a smile and patting his shoulder, telling him that he was just going to take a look and would be back soon, and that he was an adult.

“Alright then, take care of yourself,” Chen Xubai said with a smile, waving at him.

Su Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

His relationship with Chen Xubai had really taken a big step forward.

When the plane landed, Qi Nian was the one who picked him up at the airport.

After Qi Nian’s fracture healed, his parents found out, and the result was that he was sent back to America by the two of them to continue his studies.

The sky he was looking at now was finally the same as the one Lu Lin was looking at.

Actually, it had been a year before he went to find Lu Lin.

At first, he didn’t have the courage.

As the longing pierced the most painful part of his heart like a sharp sword, he made a decision to go see him.

He didn’t stay long, just a week, but he generously rented a house for a month, right across from Lu Lin’s house.

When Qi Nian picked him up from the airport, he wanted to accompany Su Yan back to his rental house, but academic work held him back, and he had to give up the idea.

Su Yan comforted him.

“I can find it myself. “

“What do you take me for?” Su Yan replied with a forced smile.

His heart was pounding with the thought of seeing Lu Lin.

The landlady was a white old lady, kind-faced, with a standard London accent.

She seemed to like Su Yan, this tenant, very much.

Because he was good-looking.

She didn’t give him any instructions and was quite casual.

It wasn’t until he was really lying back on his bed that he had a sense of reality.

He had really come to find Lu Lin.

He learned to make desserts in the kitchen himself, his nose even getting smudged with flour, but he couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from lifting.

After making a relatively simple dessert, he imitated someone else’s handwriting and wrote down a few words:

I’m your new neighbor, please take care of me ^-^

After writing it, he placed it with the dessert at Lu Lin’s door.

He leaned against his own door and sat for a long time.

Only then did he hear the slow sound of footsteps.

He carefully looked through the peephole.

He hadn’t seen Lu Lin in a long time and wanted to take the opportunity to look at him more.

He knew that Lu Lin had his reasons for not seeing him, so for this week, even though he lived right across the street, he had never shown his face.

Lu Lin carried his backpack on one shoulder, frowning at the disgusting-looking cake placed outside his door, and then…

He threw it away.

Su Yan: “…” Wouldn’t he get beaten up for being so rude?

He did it every day, and Lu Lin threw it away every day.

Until one day, his own doorbell rang.

It seemed Lu Lin didn’t have classes today.

So he saw Lu Lin standing outside his door with a gentle smile.

“Hello, the cake you made, I think it’s delicious. “

“But unfortunately, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. “

“To avoid waste, please don’t send it anymore,” he said.

How did this sentence become more and more rude towards the end?

Su Yan listened quietly from inside the door.

He even said he had eaten it.

If he hadn’t been watching through the peephole every day, he would have believed this excuse.

He didn’t know how Lu Lin knew he was at home, and could even hear him speak.

Anyway, after saying that, he left.

Su Yan returned to China the next day.

****

Graduation season arrived again, and the school was filled with laughter and joy.

After Su Yan packed his things and took his graduation photos, he went to a bar alone.

For the past two years, he had used many provocative methods, trying to lure Lu Lin out, such as:

1. Adding many people’s contact information.

2. Accidentally touching some boy’s hand.

3. Frequently going out to play.

All were of no avail.

The bar was a riot of colors, with all sorts of swaying dance moves on the dance floor, and the choking smell of smoke that wafted into his nose.

It all made Su Yan irritable.

He drank one glass after another, the pretense of being fine that he had maintained for two years now shattered.

Su Yan was already beautiful, and with his “I need comfort” look, he had long attracted the attention of the bartender, Lin Jingyuan.

He went up, gave a gentle smile, and said, “Can I listen to your troubles?”

The corners of Su Yan’s eyes were flushed.

He looked up at Lin Jingyuan.

Drunk, he didn’t care about anything, not even whether the person in front of him knew Lu Lin or not.

“Lu Lin is so annoying!” Su Yan slumped back on the table.

Thinking about the grievances of the past few days, he couldn’t hold back his tears anymore.

“He’s a pervert, a control freak,” he said, his drunkenness slurring his words.

“He doesn’t allow me to go out, he doesn’t allow me to wear shorts, and he even installed a miniature camera in my house. “

“I don’t even dare to say ‘break up,’ he would definitely tie me up. “

“But, we still broke up. “

Lin Jingyuan didn’t answer this question directly.

His hair was half-tied, his earring flashing rainbow colors under the light.

His long, slender fingers swirled the glass in his hand, his smile alluring.

“Young Master Su, drinking too much is bad for your health. “

The noise in the bar was too chaotic, and he didn’t hear clearly for a moment.

He propped himself up, his face suddenly moving closer to him, allowing Lin Jingyuan to clearly smell the shower gel on his neck.

“What did you say?”

Lin Jingyuan’s breath hitched at the face that suddenly moved closer, and he felt a little shy.

Su Yan waited for an answer with unblinking eyes, but then he saw Lin Jingyuan’s posture as if he wanted to kiss him.

The distance between the two of them closed considerably.

Su Yan’s mind was blurred by drunkenness, and he didn’t react for a moment.

“So? “

“What do you want to do next?” a lazy, slightly angry voice came.

Lu Lin was wearing a gray hoodie, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, leaning lazily against the wall, and looking at Lin Jingyuan coldly.

Lin Jingyuan was so startled that he took a big step back.

Although he didn’t know who this person in front of him was, the bodyguards waiting outside the door didn’t look like pushovers.

Lu Lin approached step by step, extinguishing his cigarette and throwing it into the ashtray.

“Why did you stop talking?”

“What do you want to do next?”

The atmosphere froze.

Lin Jingyuan organized his words, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his lips trembling, not daring to open his mouth.

This person’s aura was too strong.

Lu Lin lost his patience, his smile disappearing, but before he could do anything, his waist was hugged by Su Yan.

“Is this the top escort you were talking about? “

“He’s so handsome,” Su Yan said, as if afraid this person would leave, and held on with all his might.

Hearing this, Lu Lin’s face grew even colder, but Su Yan was still chattering on.

“How much for one night? “

“I’ll buy him. “

Lin Jingyuan inwardly begged Su Yan: Young Master, don’t say anymore, someone’s going to die.

Lu Lin smiled, though it was hard to tell if it was real or fake.

He bent down and whispered in Su Yan’s ear, “It’s free. “

“…”

Su Yan had almost cried his eyes out, and he hadn’t slept much all night, being tossed and turned…

He had begged Lu Lin for half a day, only to be met with, “A top escort has a lot of energy. “

Su Yan: “…” He had actually recognized that this person was Lu Lin, but he was just too angry.

For the past two years, he would curse Lu Lin every once in a while.

But when he really saw Lu Lin come back, he couldn’t bring himself to say any malicious words.

He knew that Lu Lin must have had it much harder than him.

He only hated that he had been too coddled, that he didn’t want him to worry about anything.

The next day, his whole body was sore and weak, his bones feeling酥酥麻麻 (sūsū mámá)², and he smelled the scent of breakfast outside.

He still kept his eyes tightly closed, not wanting to get up.

He was still wearing a comfortable, well-fitting set of pajamas.

Thinking about how he had fainted last night and Lu Lin had carried him into the bathtub to wash him, his ears burned.

Lu Lin was wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and was about to come and wake Su Yan up.

He stood in front of him for a long time.

He lowered his head and gently pecked him a few times, but he didn’t wake up.

Su Yan’s eyelashes fluttered, and he heard a soft chuckle.

“Are you going to keep pretending? “

“Sleeping Beauty. “

This teasing remark immediately woke Su Yan up.

He was a little dissatisfied and a little angry.

“What about you?”

“We’ve already broken up. “

“On what grounds are you sleeping with me?” The implication was that he needed an explanation for why he had deleted his account and erased all traces of himself.

Lu Lin didn’t speak but walked to the door.

Su Yan thought he was fleeing in the face of battle, but he had only taken off his apron and put the spatula outside.

He sat on the edge of the bed, held Su Yan’s waist with both hands, and made him sit on his lap.

Although Su Yan was a little angry, he was more happy to have him back.

He had even had nightmares that Lu Lin would never come back.

Lu Lin hugged Su Yan tightly, as if reminiscing.

“Did you know? “

“Lu Ang actually has cancer. “

“After I outlive him, I can take full control. “

“After he dies, I can contact you however I want. “

He said this casually, squinting his eyes with a smile, and brushed Su Yan’s bangs aside.

“You’re in the country. “

“If he finds out we’re still together. “

“Then I wouldn’t be able to help you in time. “

“I mean, his methods are many and vicious. “

Su Yan turned his head away, not wanting to look directly into Lu Lin’s eyes.

Su Yan probably didn’t know that his provocation had actually played a big role.

When Lu Lin was lonely abroad, Su Yan was his only spiritual support, and his possessiveness grew more and more.

“That top escort you were talking about is?” Lu Lin’s smile disappeared as he said this.

He squeezed Su Yan’s cheeks, forcing him to look directly at him.

“I was just trying to piss you off,” Su Yan said, his words slurring as his face was being squeezed, but he didn’t hide anything.

“Does baby want to get back together with me?” Lu Lin asked, remembering what he had said last night and smiling.

“I can also pursue you again. “

“We never broke up,” Su Yan said, not wanting to play the “pursue me again” game, and blinked.

This answer warmed Lu Lin’s heart, leaving him at a loss.

“If you make me unhappy, then I can’t say for sure,” Su Yan said, hooking his arms around his neck and burying his head in his shoulder.

“Okay,” Lu Lin said with a smile, knowing this was Su Yan’s compromise.

The bitterness of the past made the sweetness of the present double.

Here are some snippets of their life together:

After graduation, everyone went their separate ways, pursuing their own life paths.

Only Su Yan was still lazing around at home.

This was the consequence of not having a plan.

His parents hoped he could inherit the company, but he himself wasn’t ready yet and wasn’t sure if his shoulders could bear such a big responsibility.

“Yanyan, are you still thinking about things?” Lu Lin asked, turning off his phone.

It was already midnight in Beijing.

He also sat up and smiled, rubbing Su Yan’s cheeks.

“Why do you look so unhappy?”

Su Yan lay back down, snuggling into the quilt.

“I feel so useless. “

Lu Lin scooped him up, making Su Yan straddle his lap, facing him, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

“You can’t say that about yourself. “

Su Yan buried his face in his shoulder, his warm breath hitting the side of his neck, making his heart itch.

He bit Lu Lin.

“Didn’t Mom and Dad say it’s still early?” Lu Lin asked, pinching the back of his neck.

“Call me ‘brother,’ and I’ll solve your troubles for you,” Lu Lin said, leaning back, supporting himself with his hands on the bed, and smiling roguishly.

“Brother,” he had already done more embarrassing things, this was nothing.

“Mm, good boy. “

How was the problem solved?

You’ll have to ask Su Yan.

Su Yan: “My good brother gave me a dessert shop to let me relax for a while. “

Su Yan: “It was actually very helpful. “

“At least I won’t run away anymore. “

Su Yan: “The dessert shop is very busy, which makes my brother always cling to me, asking why I don’t spend more time with him. “

“You probably wouldn’t have guessed, but his personality changed drastically after we got together. “

Lu Lin: “You’re always cooped up in the shop and don’t spend time with me. “

“Are those cakes going to spend the rest of your life with you?”

Su Yan: “See, he’s being unreasonable again. “

****

On the day he decided to open the dessert shop, Su Yan started to try making them himself.

He wanted to try creating a few of his own original recipes.

He excitedly told Lu Lin about this decision, and Lu Lin expressed his full support.

But he seemed to have forgotten that he was a kitchen disaster and was really not suited to making anything.

Su Yan started with whipping the cream and worked until late at night before he finally completed the first cake he had ever made with his own hands.

He smiled, his eyes curving, as he brought the cake to Lu Lin.

Who knew that Lu Lin would frown, shocked, and as if he couldn’t believe it, but still asked.

“Yanyan, you’ve been to America. “

Su Yan replied, “I’m so rich, what’s so shocking about having been abroad?” He was just trying to make a joke, but he didn’t expect Lu Lin to still be so serious.

“You came to see me?”

Su Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Why didn’t you eat the cake I made?” Su Yan asked about that time.

Lu Lin searched for memories of that time.

“I thought someone was trying to poison me. “

He said this seriously, so much so that Su Yan couldn’t tell if he was joking or not.

It wasn’t that Lu Lin was saying that for no reason, but that cake really did look particularly strange.

If it weren’t for the note that said it was a cake, he would have thought someone was being so rude as to throw a lump of cream at his door.

He thought about it again and felt that someone was trying to poison him, but then he couldn’t figure it out.

Who would be so obvious when poisoning someone, practically writing “this thing is poisonous” on it!

Su Yan pouted, put the cake on the table with force, and pretended to be angry, saying loudly, “I’m not making any more!”

After Su Yan returned to his room, he waited for a long time for Lu Lin to come and coax him.

Until he went out and saw Lu Lin stuffing the cake into his mouth.

For the next few days, Su Yan didn’t dare to make any more cakes.

****

Lu Lin’s possessiveness only increased.

So much so that whenever a boy accidentally touched Su Yan’s hand, he would turn back into an ice cube.

He would have a cold expression on his face, scaring his subordinates into trembling, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and anger this great Buddha.

His methods of retaliation were only very childish ones, such as leaving his marks on Su Yan’s collarbone, and listening to Su Yan cry nonstop in bed.

What a bad boy!

But he would also wash his underwear with a cold face, his expression icy, but the words he asked were, “What do you want to eat? “

“I’ll make it. “

****

One day, Su Yan was eating a lollipop and happened to come across a video about a candy kiss.

He got the idea to tease him.

Looking at the candy in his hand, he slowly looked at Lu Lin, who was in the kitchen studying a new dessert to make for Su Yan.

The sweet smell of candy filled his nose.

He used the candy as lipstick and applied it to his lips, then ran over and smiled.

“Guess what flavor I am?”

Lu Lin was holding a strawberry in one hand and squeezing cream with the other, not understanding the meaning of his words.

While he was hesitating, Su Yan stood on his tiptoes and kissed him, rubbing his own lips against the other’s, his curved eyes full of smiles.

“How about it?”

“What flavor am I?”

Lu Lin stuffed a strawberry into Su Yan’s mouth, as if he were seriously thinking.

“Let me think…”

His thoughts drifted further and further away, and he was met with Su Yan’s fist.

He blushed and forcefully patted Lu Lin’s shoulder.

He knew very well what “flavor” he was thinking of, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he got.

“Is that all you have in your head?”

Lu Lin explained seriously, “I also have you, the company, and your parents, your dessert shop. “

“Yellow is just the spice of life. “

Su Yan: “…” Oh.

“And you broke the law, you know?” Lu Lin asked, clutching his shoulder.

“Uxoricide. “

Su Yan: “…” Oh.

Moments were a menace.

He had just come across a couple’s official announcement and suddenly remembered that he and Lu Lin had too few photos together.

He squeezed into the kitchen again, held up his phone, and click, took a photo.

Lu Lin looked at the camera in confusion, while Su Yan, on the side, poked his cheek, pretending to be well-behaved.

A few days later, this photo was placed in their master bedroom.

****

It was summer again, and Su Yan had to be inspected by Lu Lin before he could go out.

The old rule of no shorts was still in effect.

Su Yan protested in dissatisfaction, “I just want to wear shorts. “

“It’s not like anyone will like me. “

Lu Lin frowned and poked his forehead with his finger.

“No means no. “

Su Yan could only wear long pants in the heatwave.

Lu Lin had to thank the fact that he lived in the modern era with advanced air conditioning.

If it were in ancient times, he would have died of heat, and he would have been charged with “uxoricide,” and he would be considered Lu Lin’s lifesaver.

But at night, Su Yan still couldn’t hold back.

Lu Lin was currently working in his study.

He didn’t know what he was thinking, but he started to stare at the computer in a daze.

Su Yan tiptoed in, closed the door, and sat next to Lu Lin, accompanying him.

As someone who couldn’t sit still, he didn’t last long before he was propping his face in his hands, so bored that he was dozing off.

Lu Lin rubbed his tired eyes, smiled at him, and took the initiative to ask, “Do you have something to ask of me?”

“How did you know?” he asked, a little surprised.

Lu Lin: “You’ve never been willing to come into this room before. “

“Honey, let me tell you, I think shorts are an indispensable part of summer. “

“Do you know how hot I am?”

“It feels like my legs are being roasted over a fire,” Su Yan said, his tone couldn’t be more serious.

Lu Lin’s smile remained, but the words he said were icy cold.

“No, baby. “

Su Yan was not satisfied with this answer.

In the darkness, he looked into Lu Lin’s eyes.

“Why?”

“Why? “

“Why? “

“Why? “

“I’ve already called you ‘honey,’ and you’re still not willing?”

Lu Lin looked back at the computer, not paying attention to this unreasonable person.

He smelled a scent of orange, and it was Su Yan who had closed the distance.

He pecked at the other’s lips, his eyes shining, his voice drawn out.

“Really not?”

Lu Lin, while working, kissed him back.

“No. “

In the end, Su Yan was a little exasperated and slammed the door shut.

“Do you want me to never wear shorts for the rest of my life?”

Su Yan returned to bed, squinting and pretending to be asleep.

He was used to waiting for Lu Lin to finish work and come back to hug him, but because they had just had a childish fight, he could only pretend to be asleep while waiting.

While waiting, he couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Lin had an early meeting at the company, so he went in early today.

When Su Yan woke up, he could only smell the scent of breakfast, and the spot next to him was already cold.

The anger from last night had also dissipated a lot, but when he sat up, he saw twenty pairs of shorts of different styles and brands laid out on the quilt.

Lu Lin, you’re really too good.

This was Su Yan’s inner thought.

****

One day, Chen Xubai called, his teasing tone coming through the receiver.

“It’s true that your relationship is harmonious, but excitement is the spice of life. “

“I sent you a gift, as my thanks to Brother Lu for saving my company. “

“I have to go, Youli is calling me,” he said.

This call came and went quickly.

Su Yan was very puzzled.

Why was he being given a gift as thanks to Lu Lin?

When he opened the express box, all his questions disappeared.

It turned out to be a little dress and a wig.

So he was supposed to be the gift for Lu Lin!

Did he really think he would wear such a thing?

For a man to wear this was simply outrageous.

Lu Lin always came home on time after work.

After all, Su Yan was waiting for him at home.

On a good day, there would even be a black, unknown creature for dinner on the table.

It was full of surprises.

When he went back today, there was nothing at home, and the lights were off.

He took off his shoes and symbolically called out a few times, “Yanyan?”

‘Is he not here?’

According to Su Yan’s personality, he was probably asleep.

He opened the bedroom door, and what greeted him was:

Su Yan, wearing a sailor uniform and a long, curly chestnut wig, was lying on the bed, asleep.

The short skirt was rolled up a couple of times, revealing his fair and slender thighs, with bite marks on them, leaving much to the imagination.

His porcelain-white skin was mostly exposed, barely covering the key parts.

Lu Lin sat on the edge of the bed, squeezed Su Yan’s cheek, and called out, “Yanyan?”

Su Yan opened his eyes in a daze, and what greeted him was the roguishly smiling Lu Lin.

He quickly backed away, remembering what he was wearing, his ears burning.

He stammered, “You’re back?”

“Mm. “

After that, Su Yan cried for another night.

He stuffed the dress into the deepest part of his wardrobe and even called Chen Xubai to scold him.

“Don’t you dare send me this kind of thing again. “

“Oh~ It seems it was very effective,” Chen Xubai said in a meaningful tone.

Only then did Su Yan realize that his voice was hoarse from screaming last night.

“…”

****

Su Yan really wanted to get a puppy.

This had always been his dream, but Lu Lin didn’t seem to agree.

Wherever he was, he would find an opportunity to say, “Brother, do you want to give me a puppy?”

At this time, Lu Lin would always hug him and make a “shh” gesture.

Even in bed, Su Yan would have to cry and say, “Brother, do you really not want to give your Yanyan baby a puppy?”

Lu Lin would lose the mood to continue and would choose to hug him and coax him.

“But Yanyan baby is lazy and can’t take care of a puppy. “

Lu Lin was basically in charge of all the big and small things at home.

First, he didn’t want Su Yan to worry, and second, Su Yan was a bit too careless.

“I can do it!” Su Yan said, lying on Lu Lin and raising his hand to swear.

“It won’t work. “

“In the end, I’ll be the one taking care of it,” Lu Lin said, rejecting his words flat out.

The matter was left unresolved, but another good thing seemed to have heard their wishes and came along.

That was Chen Xubai and his little girlfriend were going on a trip and sent their little border collie to them for a period of time.

They had a small group chat with Qi Zhiyao, Youli, Chen Xubai, Su Yan, and of course, Lu Lin.

Originally, this little border collie was going to be boarded at a pet hospital, but Youli was extremely worried and probably couldn’t relax and have fun on their trip.

There were too many cases online of pets getting sick from being boarded at pet stores!

So Chen Xubai asked in the group chat, “Does anyone want to raise the cute Curry for a few days?”

Curry was the name of this border collie, because Youli herself was a huge fan of curry rice.

Su Yan was currently leaning in Lu Lin’s arms.

When he saw this message, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Lin.

He believed that Lu Lin must have seen the message, so if he didn’t object, it meant he tacitly agreed.

[sy: I’ll raise him! (raises hand)]

[Chen Chen: Alright, will be delivered immediately. ]

The little couple packed their luggage and drove Curry, along with its daily necessities and dog food, over that night.

When Su Yan heard the doorbell and opened the door, his mouth was almost agape in shock, but he was also happy.

He briefly had a puppy for a few days.

Lu Lin’s cold voice came from behind.

“You two are really fast. “

The dumb couple didn’t hear the sarcasm and both replied with a smile, “Hahaha, so-so. “

Lu Lin: “……”

On the night Curry arrived, it kept barking in its cage, giving people a headache.

Su Yan squatted in front of the cage.

He didn’t care if this few-month-old puppy could understand human language.

“Shh, shh, shh, don’t be noisy, you’ll disturb the neighbors. “

The puppy stared blankly at this “new owner. “

Su Yan thought it understood and was secretly happy.

Who knew, Curry let out an even fiercer bark, shaking Su Yan so much that his vision went black.

Lu Lin stood with his arms crossed, watching the human and dog stare at each other.

“Stop being noisy. “

Su Yan: “Do you think it will stop being noisy just because you say so?”

Curry shut up, and Su Yan was shocked.

His temperament was not forgiving.

Perhaps he was born with the “everyone come and bully me” temperament.

The next day, Su Yan got up early to make breakfast for Curry, although it was just soaking some dog food.

Su Yan squatted in front of the puppy that was eating with gusto and sighed.

“Maybe I’m just like a Chinese parent, self-congratulatory. “

“After all, Curry, you won’t remember my kindness at all. “

Lu Lin, who was brushing his teeth, passed by and heard these words, finding them cute.

Su Yan specially took a leave of absence to spend time with the puppy.

This might be the only few days in his life that he would have a puppy.

He took care of it with all his heart and didn’t let Lu Lin worry.

On the day he returned Curry, Su Yan was in a low mood.

After spending a few days together, he had developed some feelings for it.

Although Curry barked nonstop in the morning, leading to lack of sleep, although Curry also barked nonstop at night, making it difficult for people to fall asleep, although Curry loved to be mischievous and bite things randomly.

Let’s not talk about it anymore.

Why does it feel like it’s all flaws?

Lu Lin hadn’t come home for a long time.

Su Yan snuggled into the quilt, looking through the thousand photos he had taken of Curry.

Click—

The sound of the door opening.

Lu Lin’s voice was clear and pleasant.

He slowly approached, until he stuffed the puppy in his arms into the quilt.

Su Yan reached out and touched the fluffy fur.

His beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, and the corners of his mouth lifted and never came down.

“Is this a husky?!”

A husky was Su Yan’s favorite breed.

Lu Lin smiled.

“That’s right. “

Su Yan wrinkled his nose and asked, “Didn’t you say I was lazy?”

“But a lazy Yanyan baby also deserves to have a puppy as cute as him. “

Mmm… another touching day.

Is everyone curious about who took care of Mengmeng, the puppy?

Tell me your answers, and our classmate Lu Lin will reveal it to us.

It was too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.

Lu Lin woke up early, looked at the soundly sleeping Su Yan next to him, and sighed.

He took a black jacket from the wardrobe and even put a puppy-sized jacket on Mengmeng.

And just like that, he took Mengmeng out to play in the snow.

It was basically like this all winter.

Su Yan didn’t dare to look directly into Lu Lin’s eyes.

“Brother, I’ll be responsible for all of Mengmeng’s daily needs. “

“I’ll scoop his poop for him, so I won’t dirty your hands. “

“Okay?” Su Yan asked, holding Lu Lin’s hands tightly, blinking his eyes with all his might, using all his coquettish strength.

Lu Lin nodded, admitting defeat.

Although Lu Lin was the one who did most of the poop scooping.

****

It wasn’t always happiness and touching moments between the two of them.

They also had arguments.

That was a few days after Lu Lin had just returned to the country.

Su Yan still felt a little distant from Lu Lin at that time, which led to him speaking less and being a little reserved.

In addition, a certain university friend of his was injured, but he had no relatives in Haishi, so Su Yan took the initiative to take care of him for a few days.

When he came back, he saw Lu Lin lightly cutting his arm with a knife.

When Su Yan saw him, he even put his hand behind his back.

This was the first time Su Yan had been so angry.

He questioned, “What are you doing?”

Lu Lin knew it was his fault.

He pursed his lips and said in a calm tone, “I’m also injured. “

Su Yan didn’t understand.

Was he blind and couldn’t see that he was also injured?

But when he saw the wronged look in Lu Lin’s eyes, he finally understood what Lu Lin meant by that sentence:

I’m also injured, look at me.

After that, Su Yan would maintain a certain social distance with everyone.

He had almost forgotten that Lu Lin’s personality had never changed.

****

Su Yan really wanted to go on a trip.

He was so bored at home every vacation.

These short videos seemed to be luring him, constantly popping up with travel-related videos.

He straddled Lu Lin’s lap, hugged his waist, and said coquettishly, “Brother, we haven’t gone on a trip together yet. “

“Are you willing to grow old like this?” Su Yan asked, lying on his shoulder in this posture.

Lu Lin replied, “We’re only twenty-three. “

“Is this considered old?”

“You didn’t get my meaning. “

“What I mean is, if we don’t go on a trip now, when do you want to wait?” Su Yan pouted, his tone natural.

“Oh~” Lu Lin nodded, pretending to have a sudden realization.

“Baby can go whenever he wants,” Lu Lin said, holding a lollipop stick in his mouth and hugging Su Yan’s waist tightly.

The habit of eating lollipops that he had developed after quitting smoking for so many years.

Su Yan pulled the stick out of his mouth and said in surprise, “Really?!”

“Really. “

“I never lie,” he added.

“When was it not you who lied to me?” Seeing that Lu Lin was starting to bring up old matters, Su Yan felt a little guilty, rubbed his nose, and changed the subject.

“Then let’s go mountain climbing,” Su Yan said, hooking his arms around his neck, deliberately rubbing his legs against his, and squinting his eyes with a smile.

Lu Lin ignored a certain troublemaker’s leg, flicked his forehead, and asked, “Aren’t you tired?”

It wasn’t that Lu Lin was asking this for no reason, but that Su Yan’s constitution was too poor.

For someone who could get tired and faint in bed to suddenly bring up mountain climbing, who wouldn’t be surprised?

Su Yan remembered the description of himself in the original novel: poor constitution, easily tired, would be out of breath after walking a few steps.

Although it wasn’t that exaggerated, it wasn’t far off.

“I’m not tired. “

“Where do you want to go?” If that place didn’t have a cable car, he would be the first to stop him.

“Emmm… I want to go to Mount Hua,” Su Yan’s eyes became firm.

“Mount Hua? “

“Why?” Lu Lin asked, looking at the person whose eyes were darting around.

“Why don’t you say?”

Su Yan rested his chin on his shoulder, and he gently stroked the back of Su Yan’s neck like he was petting a kitten.

“You’ll know when we get there. “

“Alright,” on a normal, ordinary night, the two of them decided on an upcoming extraordinary day.

The next day, the two of them were packing their luggage.

Mount Hua was a bit of a distance from Haishi, so they decided not to drive themselves.

Mengmeng was also boarded with a trusted friend for a few days.

By the time they arrived, it was already getting dark, probably because they had set off too late.

As a popular tourist attraction, a popular mountain, there was an endless stream of people here, never stopping for a moment.

They also discovered something very magical.

Qi Zhiyao, Chen Xubai, and Youli had actually all come to Mount Hua to play.

Let me say it quietly, it was actually Su Yan who had asked them to come, but he didn’t dare to tell Lu Lin.

He always felt that Lu Lin was too lonely, even though he often said, “I don’t need friends. “

Su Yan really didn’t want this sentence to become a reality.

He hoped that Lu Lin would also join his small circle and not be so lonely.

He had Chen Xubai pretend to post photos of Mount Hua in the group chat, and he himself pretended to be shocked: You guys came too?!

This shoddy lie, why did he think that Lu Lin, with an IQ of 200, would believe it, unless it was love?

Su Yan moved closer to Lu Lin and said coquettishly, “Let’s play with them for a while, okay…”

“Okay,” Lu Lin said, understanding Su Yan’s intentions.

He pretended to believe this lie and smiled, stroking his head.

Although they had all agreed to come to Mount Hua to play, they had all booked their own guesthouses and hotels.

Fortunately, they were not very far apart.

What was the consequence of different hotels?

That was that the hotel services were different.

For example, their hotel’s service was too good.

Chen Xubai pushed open the door, his hands in the air, with a foolish expression on his face.

“Your room is so big. “

“If I had known, we would have also booked…” Before he could finish his exclamation, his gaze slowly fell on the bedside table.

There were condoms, masturbation cups…

Su Yan also followed his gaze and looked over.

“…”

I think that sometimes hotel services don’t need to be implemented down to the customer’s bed, otherwise this kind of scene is too embarrassing.

Lu Lin’s expression was calm, as if he hadn’t seen anything, but he strode over and threw everything into a drawer.

It seemed he was also very embarrassed.

“Where’s Qi Zhiyao?”

“Why isn’t he here yet?”

“Oh, him. “

“He’s still on the plane back from Taishi. “

“He probably won’t be here until tomorrow,” Chen Xubai said, sitting on the sofa and hugging Youli.

“?!” Su Yan was shocked.

“He went back to Taishi? “

“Then why didn’t he say so? “

“It’s so far, he didn’t have to come. “

“He probably wanted to come himself. “

“Didn’t he always complain about being bored before?” Chen Xubai said.

Su Yan agreed.

After that, the four of them started playing a card game after dinner.

Su Yan had begged Lu Lin for half a day before he agreed to join, but he didn’t expect to have pulled a gaming expert over.

He had hardly lost a single game, and the other three all had turtles drawn on their faces.

The three of them suspected at the same time that Lu Lin was cheating, but then they felt that it would be even stranger for a cool, handsome, and arrogant person like Lu Lin to cheat.

“Protest! “

“I’m not playing anymore!” Youli was the first to raise her hand and shout.

“If my wife isn’t playing, I’m not playing either,” Chen Xubai was the second to chime in.

“If my brother isn’t playing, I’m not playing either,” Su Yan was the third.

The three who had taken the initiative to play the game were completely annihilated by Lu Lin, who had never played this game before.

After sending Chen Xubai and Youli off, Su Yan squatted in front of the cabinet and had a mischievous idea, deliberately teasing.

“Brother, what if the hotel staff can’t find this?” he asked, lifting his doe-like eyes and pointing at the cabinet.

Lu Lin didn’t speak.

“Then on the day we leave, the hotel staff will shout at you: Hey, the one with the cold face. “

“Where did you hide our masturbation cups?” Su Yan even deliberately coughed and squeezed his throat.

After saying that, he himself lay on the bed, rolling around and laughing so hard his stomach hurt, completely ignoring Lu Lin’s feelings.

Lu Lin: “…”

As Su Yan was laughing, he heard a certain deathly sound.

It seemed to be the sound of a cabinet being pulled open!

His smile froze, and he sat up again, swallowing hard and looking down at the floor.

And Lu Lin was carefully examining it, raising an eyebrow, and smiling roguishly.

“Baby is so happy, do you want to try it?”

“Brother, I was wrong,” Su Yan immediately returned to his obedient appearance, stammering out the words one by one.

“Brother, we still have to climb the mountain tomorrow,” seeing that Lu Lin was still carefully examining it, Su Yan couldn’t help but remind him.

“We have to be abstinent. “

“Alright then, I thought you wanted to try it,” Lu Lin said, putting the things back, shrugging his shoulders, a little regretful.

“I don’t want to. “

The day of the much-anticipated mountain climbing arrived.

They wanted to climb at night, so they could also wait for Qi Zhiyao.

There were all sorts of food for sale on the mountain.

The four of them didn’t want to carry several bottles of water, so they decided to travel light.

Among the five of them, only Chen Xubai and Lu Lin didn’t complain of being tired the whole way.

The other three had to rest for a while after walking a certain distance.

Su Yan cursed himself for finding trouble for himself, but thinking about what was to come, he would laugh happily.

“So tired!” the three of them said at the same time.

You have to grit your teeth and persevere to see the beauty that lies ahead, but it’s really so tiring!

The five of them were sitting separately.

Lu Lin and Su Yan were sitting together resting, and the other three were sitting with some passers-by.

Su Yan was originally so tired he couldn’t breathe, but after hearing the content of Chen Xubai and Qi Zhiyao’s argument, he almost laughed until he couldn’t breathe.

At first, it was because he saw Chen Xubai and Qi Zhiyao muttering something, so he took Lu Lin’s hand and went to ask Youli.

Youli was speechless.

“Weren’t there passers-by sitting next to us just now?”

“Qi Zhiyao asked: Who farted, it stinks, and then the following conversation unfolded. “

After the passers-by left, Chen Xubai said to Qi Zhiyao, “You’re a little rude. “

Qi Zhiyao was confused and didn’t admit it.

“How am I rude?”

Chen Xubai lowered his voice and said in a small voice, “Weren’t you afraid of embarrassing people by saying that just now?”

A question mark appeared above Qi Zhiyao’s head, his expression disapproving.

“The three of us are so close, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“But what if it was a passer-by?” Chen Xubai also disapproved.

“If it was a passer-by, shouldn’t he be the rude one?”

Chen Xubai: “?”

“He let out a stinky fart and just left. “

“Shouldn’t he be the rude one? “

“How am I the rude one?” Qi Zhiyao frowned and accused Chen Xubai.

“What if he didn’t do it on purpose? “

“Does he have to say: Sorry, I’m about to fart, before he farts?”

“If you’re going to let out a stinky fart, you should go to the toilet, okay?”

Seeing that Chen Xubai still wanted to refute, he added, “Alright, alright, I know. “

“From now on, you’re the Fart Master. “

Everyone: “?”

Qi Zhiyao’s crimson lips opened and closed, and he slowly spat out a few words.

“Because you tolerate everyone who farts. “

Everyone’s faces flushed with laughter, except for Chen Xubai, who wanted to beat Qi Zhiyao up.

This guy was so inconsiderate.

After this episode, Su Yan’s body was no longer sore and weak, his mind was clear, and he had the strength to climb the mountain again.

Lu Lin had to thank the two of them.

Lu Lin looked at the exhausted Su Yan, still not understanding why his baby would choose a physically demanding activity like mountain climbing.

It would even exhaust his energy for the next few days, an overdraft.

He reached out to help Su Yan but was slapped away.

“I don’t need it. “

Until they reached a certain place, Su Yan’s eyes lit up, and he took Lu Lin’s hand and walked over.

“Let’s hang a new one. “

“A love lock. “

The two of them walked too fast, and the other three had long been left far behind.

Su Yan said “new,” and Lu Lin understood in a second.

He was moved and understood what Su Yan was trying to do, intertwining his fingers with Su Yan’s.

The wind blew through his bangs, and the starry sky filled his eyes.

The noise around them seemed to have disappeared completely, leaving only the sound of his beating heart.

“I know you hold me tight because you’re afraid I’ll leave you again. “

“I also know that you can’t sleep at night and will sit alone on the sofa, sitting for a whole day. “

“I know you had a hard time abroad, so much so that you often don’t believe that I’m right here by your side. “

“I love you, and I’m willing to spend a lifetime telling you these three words,” Su Yan’s voice was soft and sweet, deliberately drawing out his words to act coquettishly.

Lu Lin felt his eyes burn, and a tear fell onto Su Yan’s hand.

He had always thought that Su Yan didn’t know these things, that he had hidden them well.

“I love you too,” after a long time, he finally remembered to reply.

At this moment, the other three also caught up and shouted, “Why are you two walking so fast?”

Before they could see, Su Yan stood on his tiptoes and kissed away the tear at the corner of Lu Lin’s eye.

I’m willing to do everything you say.

The happy life of the two continued, and the hands of time continued to turn.

Lu Lin no longer had to wake up crying in the middle of the night.

He had Su Yan.

Each of them had their own happy life.

Qi Zhiyao was now working in Taipei and would occasionally return to the mainland to hang out with the others.

He was already in his twenties, but his personality hadn’t changed, still soft and sweet.

Among the others, he was the only single one.

They had asked him indirectly.

“What kind of boy do you like?”

Qi Zhiyao would always get angry.

“I like cute girls!”

The matter was left unresolved, and he remains single to this day.

Chen Xubai and Youli got married a few years after graduation.

The small boat of their love was those two sketches, which are still hanging in the center of their living room at home.

When the others went to their house to play, they would always say, “Do you have to hang this thing here? “

“Let me put it another way, have you two ever been scared by this when you go to the toilet in the middle of the night?”

The two of them looked at each other and said at the same time, “You wouldn’t understand. “

The dumb couple remained dumb.

And as for Su Yan and Lu Lin, their home was always a mess because of Mengmeng.

There was no place for a dog to even step.

Lu Lin picked Su Yan up and let him see for himself what their home had become.

Su Yan first symbolically spanked Mengmeng’s butt, then tugged at Lu Lin’s sleeve, looking pitiful.

“Brother, forgive us. “

He pushed the puppy in front of Lu Lin, with a “if you don’t forgive us, I’ll let it stink you to death” attitude.

He looked at this harmonious scene and smiled.

“Then you kiss me. “

“Okay. “

Su Yan leaned forward and gave him a perfunctory kiss, as light as a dragonfly’s touch.

When he tried to pull away, Lu Lin held the back of his neck firmly, his tongue pressing against the seam of his lips, deepening the kiss.

After the kiss, he was in a daze, out of breath.

Lu Lin smiled and left him with his back, going to the kitchen to cook.

Mengmeng thought it was dinner time and followed him.

The sound of a kill in a game came from his phone, as well as Chen Xubai’s angry roar.

“Su Yan! “

“How dare you go AFK while playing a game?!”
