Lin Yao looked a little depressed when he walked in. He threw the buns on the table and sat down dejectedly next to Lin Zong, staring at his slippers in a daze.
My dad was angrily calling the construction team and cursing them, and my mom was busy developing new dishes in the kitchen, so no one paid any attention to him.
"Did someone step on your foot when you were buying buns?" Lin Zong reached out and scratched his head.
"No," Lin Yao lowered his head, "I just felt a little stimulated."
"Hey, you're a person whose reflexes are so long that they can circle the earth twice, and you can still be stimulated," Lin Zong came closer, "Tell me, where did this expert come from who has this ability?"
"Can you please not provoke me when I'm unhappy?" Lin Yao shouted, lying down on the sofa, swinging his legs over Lin Zong's legs, "Give me a pinch."
"Lin Zong, what did you do to your brother again!" My mother has sharp ears and rushed out from the kitchen in the midst of her busy schedule, holding a scallion.
"How dare I do anything to our ancestor?" Lin Zong smiled and pinched Lin Yao's legs again and again. "He has a bad temper. Anyone who provokes him will cry."
"It's not a big deal," Lin Yao closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage, "It was just a little sudden and I couldn't figure it out right away."
"Dumped?"
"Bullshit, am I the kind of person who gets dumped and goes home to hide from the depression?" Lin Yao snorted.
"Anyway, it has to do with love," Lin Zong patted him, "I haven't heard that you have a girlfriend, are you secretly in love with someone again?"
Lin Yao was happy, he opened his eyes a little and looked at Lin Zong: "You are indeed my brother, but I don't have a crush on you."
Lin Zong knew that Lin Yao had a crush on a senior. He only told Lin Zong about his relationship. It was useless to tell his parents. But Lin Zong only knew that he had a crush on someone in the senior year, but he didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl.
"That's not bad enough. Let's change another one and continue." Lin Zong patted his face.
"I'll talk about it after I get over my depression," Lin Yao stamped his feet, "Brother, I accidentally bought ten trays of buns today."
"Good job, we have midnight snack."
After the meal, mom prepared fruit salad for everyone. Lin Yao and Lin Zong each took a plate and ate on the rooftop while chatting. After taking a bite, Lin Yao would put some on his brother's plate.
I don’t know what my mom was thinking, but she insisted on putting some durian in a pretty good salad.
“Eat it yourself!” Lin Zong didn’t like durian either. He had been forcing it down with gritted teeth, and he ate more and more.
"I've finished my meal." Lin Yao tapped the plate and lay down on the hammock.
"I spoiled you. When you were a child, I would have beaten you for no reason. You might be very well behaved now." Lin Zong put the plate on the ground, lit a cigarette and stood on the edge of the rooftop to smoke.
"If you give birth to a son in the future, I will definitely beat him since he is young, so that you won't have to worry about him in the future." Lin Yao laughed for a long time.
"Lin Yao," Lin Zong leaned against the railing of the rooftop, "I'm telling you, don't always like someone based on your feelings. It's easy to get hurt."
"Okay, I see." Lin Yao shook the hammock, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"I'm just worried about you. You're so stupid. You've never had a serious relationship and you're always unhappy because of these things. I'm always worried that you'll suffer." Lin Zong walked up to him, bent down and stared at him for a while. "Sometimes I feel like I'm your father. I worry about you even when there's nothing wrong."
"Come on!" Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, "I don't want a father who takes me to climb a tree and makes me fall into the river three times."
"Then didn't I fish you out and dry you in time every time?" Lin Zong also laughed, "You were a little bit stupid when you were young, there's really no cure."
Lin Zong chatted with him for a while, and Lin Yao felt that he was in a much better mood. But after Lin Zong left, he felt a little suffocated and swung in the hammock for a long time.
In fact, he couldn't say what he thought of Guan Ze. Guan Ze was indeed the type he liked. He couldn't help but repeat some uncivilized scenes in his mind, but he didn't intend to do anything about it.
But seeing him so close to another woman out of the blue, he felt a bit of an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was like a table of people eating, and there was a dish that was not bad. Every time you turned around, you would take a chopstick, but you didn't want to finish the dish. But after eating two chopsticks, someone suddenly took the dish away, and the feeling was completely different.
He couldn't explain this feeling to Lin Zong. If Lin Zong knew that he liked men, he didn't know how he would react. He couldn't even tell his brother who loved him the most. He felt really depressed.
He felt like vomiting after swinging in the hammock for so long that he slowly sat up, took out his cell phone and checked the time. Normally, he would play games when he had nothing to do, but now, as soon as he came online, a bunch of people would privately message him with grief or anger. It was really upsetting.
After a moment's pause, he opened the phone book, found Hengdao's number and dialed it. Except for the first call, he had basically never called Hengdao on his own initiative. Now that he had nothing to do, he planned to chat with Hengdao for a while to relieve his boredom.
"Hello?" Hengdao's voice came over.
"I smiled." Lin Yao squatted on the rooftop and heard that Hengdao didn't seem to be at home. "Where are you?"
"Having dinner with friends." Hengdao's answer was simple, and his tone was a little different from when he usually chatted.
This indifferent tone made Lin Yao feel instantly frustrated. He and Hengdao were already very familiar with each other and spoke very casually. He was already feeling very uncomfortable at the moment and didn't care about anything else. He shouted into the phone: "Why the hell are you eating with others! Eat, eat! You're going to die of fullness!"
After shouting, he hung up the phone.
depressed!
He returned to the room, turned on the computer, and played some games to distract himself.
As a result, as soon as he opened the screen, he saw that the gang members were chatting happily, as if they were discussing the merger of gangs. Lin Yao glanced at it casually and saw a few words that made him even more depressed.
The people in the gang were discussing the merger when they went off topic and started discussing whether he was marrying Hengdao because Hengdao was richer than Fengzi. Although they were disappointed in Fengzi because he had a "little wife", the reluctance and affection shown by Fengzi made everyone feel that even if she didn't stay with Fengzi, Yixiao had no reason to marry Hengdao. For a long time, the conflicts between gang members and Hengdao were almost irreconcilable, not to mention that Yixiao was the gang leader.
Lin Yao looked at it for a long time and felt that they had really reached the end this time and the situation was irreversible.
He typed a message in the gang channel: If the madman dares to admit how he got the equipment and pets on his account, I dare to admit that I married Hengdao for money.
After thinking about it, he added, So what if I just do it for money
After saying this, he gave the position of gang leader to Rouqing, then clicked to quit the gang, found the password of Hengdao from his mobile phone, and logged into Hengdao.
This was his first time on the Hengdao, and the equipment and summoned beasts on board made him sigh a few times, this guy is a psychopath. He also spent a lot of money on equipment, but he would not take things that he could not use. There were a lot of top-quality equipment on the Hengdao that he could not use, and they did not even match the race. It felt like he was just collecting them.
Lin Yao picked out a few top-quality women's clothes that could be worn on his account and put them on, and then put the Rakshasa woman on his account. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he also took over a few famous mythical beasts from Hengdao's account. These mythical beasts were commonly used by Hengdao in PK, they were very top-quality, and most importantly, very iconic, and you could recognize them as Hengdao's things at a glance.
Didn’t you say it was for the money? Then it must be for the money.
Lin Yao turned off the Hengdao, set all the divine beasts he had brought to follow him, and then led a bunch of Hengdao's top-quality divine beasts out slowly.
The news that Yanran Yixiaohao was taking a walk in Luoyang City with the divine beasts riding horses and holding swords spread quickly, and soon many people gathered around Yixiaohao to watch the fun.
Lin Yao felt very satisfied, so he simply went around again. Finally, he placed his number in the most prosperous area of Chang'an City and stood on the highest platform in the middle.
After finishing all this, Lin Yao happily went downstairs to pour himself a glass of milk, and his mood improved a lot.
He felt like he was pretty crazy. He didn't know why, but he liked to do these kinds of inexplicable and scolded things in the game, just like when he was dominating the server before.
"Lin Yao, you really deserve to be punished." He cursed himself with a smile as he went upstairs.
When he returned to the room, his cell phone was playing music. He took a look and found that it was Hengdao's call.
"Hero." He answered the phone. His previous unreasonable anger towards Hengdao had dissipated. Now when he saw that it was Hengdao calling, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you?" Hengdao asked, and his tone returned to the familiar state when he usually chatted with him.
"Nothing, I'm just in a bad mood and wanted to chat with you for a while. If you're not free, we'll talk later." Lin Yao looked at the screen and saw people surrounding Yixiao and cursing, "I put all the pets you PKed on my account."
"Well, take it." Hengdao didn't show any surprise at all.
This made Lin Yao a little disappointed, so he added: "Then I stood on the Chang'an stage with these pets."
"Exhibition?" Hengdao laughed, "You're quite funny."
"Okay, go eat." Lin Yao was very dissatisfied with Hengdao's calm reaction. He didn't even ask why.
"I'll be back soon. I'll call you when I get home. I'm in the bathroom right now. It's not convenient to talk about games since I just had dinner."
"Well, are you peeing?" Lin Yao suddenly felt like laughing, and blurted out "Are you holding the phone in one hand and supporting it with the other hand..."
"No, I was zipping my pants with the phone between my fingers." Hengdao smiled.
Stop it now!
Lin Yao cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao suddenly felt in a good mood, so he happily took a shower and sang a song "Fake Monk" at the top of his voice in the bathroom. When he got dressed and was about to come out, his mother ran over from downstairs in shock and knocked on the door repeatedly: "Son, are you okay? Did you step on the soap and fall?"
"You don't expect good things from me," Lin Yao opened the door and came out, "Do you have any soap at home?"
For some reason, my mother was particularly obsessed with the idea of her two sons stepping on soap and breaking their heads, so we never used soap at home.
"Then why are you howling so loudly? You scared me to death! Your brother didn't shout so loudly when he was a bathroom heater!" Mom rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Yao hugged his mother and laughed: "I am better than my brother."
"Yes, you are much better than your brother in being stupid. They say the second child is smarter than the first child, but I just don't see it."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine once I grow taller," Lin Yao pushed his mother out the door, "It's getting late, go and sleep on your watermelon."
“It’s a cucumber.”
After his mother left, Lin Yao returned to the computer and found that after such a long time, there were still diligent people watching. There were also a few people who had turned on the automatic shouting plug-in and stood next to his account, cursing people automatically while setting up stalls to sell things.
Lin Yao lay back on the bed, hugged the blanket and rolled back and forth for a few times. He inexplicably thought of Guan Ze again. Was that his girlfriend? Or his sister? His younger sister
However, if the woman who could hold Guan Ze's arm so naturally was not a relative, he would feel uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it. He also didn't understand why Guan Ze could make him care so much
He just thought Guan Ze was good-looking and had a great figure, and he liked listening to his voice... But this didn't have to be so awkward!
Doesn't he also like to listen to Hengdao's voice? Of course, that's because he thinks Hengdao's voice sometimes sounds a lot like Guan Ze's.
“Ah…” Lin Yao turned over a few more times anxiously and began to worry about his condition.
Hengdao's call finally came, which saved him from the confusion he was having about what was going on with Guan Ze.
"Why did it take so long?" Lin Yao asked weakly while lying on the bed.
"I took a shower and I smell like food." Hengdao smiled.
The sound of him speaking like this made Lin Yao feel particularly comfortable. Lin Yao turned over and said, "Hey, you said you were too busy to go out to eat with me, but it turns out you still have time to go out to eat with others."
"A friend I've known for a long time came back to China, so I picked him up and ate there," Hengdao sighed, "I'm so tired."
"Then go to sleep." Lin Yao did hear some fatigue in Hengdao's tone.
"Let's chat for a while before going to sleep. Aren't you depressed?"
"I'm not depressed."
"If you're not depressed, why are you yelling at me?"
"I'm happy to!" Lin Yao also felt that his words just now were a bit unreasonable, but he refused to give in.
"What's wrong? Tell me before I fall asleep." Hengdao lowered his voice and seemed to lie down.
The voice seemed to come from Lin Yao's neck, making him feel numb all over and his lower abdomen twitched as if an electric shock had been applied. The sound of lowering the sword was very similar to that of Guan Ze.
Lin Yao held his stomach, his heart was filled with emotion, and he sighed, "Hengdao, did I ever tell you that your voice sounds like the director of the marketing department next door?"
"I haven't said that, have I?" Hengdao smiled, "Then do you feel particularly stressed when chatting with me?"
"Pressure is bullshit, sometimes the voices sound similar, but everything else is different," Lin Yao said with a click of his tongue, "and he doesn't talk as much as you do."
"I talk too much?"
"Not as much as me, but more than our director." Lin Yao lay on the bed and squinted his eyes as he thought about Guan Ze's appearance. His thoughts instantly went astray. "He's quite handsome."
Hengdao didn't say anything. Lin Yao came to his senses after two seconds and immediately regretted it. He was too relaxed when talking to Hengdao. Hengdao's slow and steady pace always made him involuntarily blurt out some abnormal content. Under normal circumstances, he would never discuss with a man whether another man was handsome or not, which was something that sounded suspicious.
"Tell me why you are unhappy today. I don't think you are an unhappy person." Hengdao was silent for a while and then changed the subject.
However, for Lin Yao, this topic was not very good. It was even more ridiculous than discussing with Hengdao whether Guan Ze was handsome or not.
"It's nothing actually..." Lin Yao turned over in bed again. To be honest, he really wanted to talk to someone, but he couldn't speak to the people around him. He could only talk to Lian Jun, but it would be useless to talk to Lian Jun. The most he could give them some advice, one was to force it, and the other was to change people.
Tell Hengdao? To him, Hengdao was a stranger, but also a friend he could chat with. If he told Hengdao and he couldn't accept it, it would be meaningless.
"Don't want to say it? Then don't say it," Hengdao didn't force him, "Do you want to go online and kill someone to vent your anger?"
"No, I'll be fine after a good sleep, you should go to sleep too." Lin Yao sniffed and suppressed his depression. He just had to hold it in. He had been holding it in for so many years anyway, he was used to it.
"Well, good night, and have a sweet dream."
"Sweet dreams."
Lin Yao hung up the phone, put his Yixiao account back into the toilet and went offline. He opened the forum and took a look. There were no interesting posts, so he turned off the computer.
After lying in bed for more than half an hour without being able to shake off the sleepiness, he sighed.
This time it was really different. He had never suffered from insomnia when he had a crush on his senior before. He felt that his feelings for Guan Ze were many levels lower than those for his senior, but he didn't know why it was so uncomfortable.
This was going to be a problem. He knew from the beginning that there was no way Guan Ze could have anything to do with him, but he didn't expect that it would turn out like this inexplicably based on his feelings.
As Lin Zong said, we can't always rely on our feelings, we should at least use our rationality to stroll around from time to time.
Lin Yao stared at the chandelier on the ceiling for an unknown amount of time. Finally, he sat up abruptly, picked up his cell phone and dialed Hengdao's number.
“Sister Xiao…” Hengdao’s confused voice came from the other side.
"Wake up, I have something to tell you." Lin Yao was a little excited, he didn't even know why he was so excited.
"I'm awake," Hengdao's voice was still a little confused, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"If I tell you that I like men, will you hang up the phone and pretend you've never met me?" Lin Yao said this quickly.
