Ninety-six:
Lin Anlan took out the painting carefully, and was surprised to find that under the painting, it was no longer a painting, but an album.
Many books, large and small photo albums.
He picked up a book, opened it, and turned it page by page. It was hard to believe that the entire album was actually a single photo of himself.
He was lying on the table in his school uniform, he was playing ball on the playground in his sports uniform, he was doing paperwork with his head down, he turned his head and seemed to be talking to someone, he walked forward alone, he sat on the parallel bars silently.
It's all him, only him, no Cheng Yu, no Jiang Xu, no one, just him.
Lin Anlan was shocked.
He picked up the second album, also all him, only him.
He ate in the cafeteria, read in the library, and participated in the sports meeting.
Every picture is of him and only of him.
Did Cheng Yu secretly take so many single photos of him
Lin Anlan couldn't tell what she felt for a while, she was sad, distressed, and a little overwhelmed.
He looked at them one by one, and each one was like a period of his life. From his high school days to the present, he could find corresponding photos in Cheng Yu's albums in every period.
The last one is last year's photo.
Some of them participated in activities, some of them were on the street, and some of them were caught by Cheng Yu who did not know where he was.
Lin Anlan watched patiently until he saw the last chapter. He was wearing black short sleeves and looked up at the sky. It was dark and his face was expressionless.
This is the last photo of the whole album. Lin Anlan turned over and saw that on this photo, Cheng Yu wrote four words in black gel pen: I want him.
He doesn't write on every photo, just occasionally, he writes a few words on the back.
For example, the prototype of his oil painting, he wrote on the back: Campus Singer Competition, An An won the first place.
For example, in the last photo of his high school album, he wrote on the back: After graduation, I want to go to the same university as him.
Therefore, Lin Anlan didn't care either.
He closed the album, put it back in the box, and put the oil painting back in again.
However, suddenly, Lin Anlan seemed to remember something, and the hand holding the oil painting suddenly stopped.
He slowly picked up the oil painting again, put it beside him, and suspiciously picked up the last photo album he just put back.
He directly opened the album to the last photo, looking at that photo in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
In the lower left corner of the photo, the number of August 26 is clearly displayed.
Lin Anlan couldn't believe it, he turned over the photo gently and looked at the four big characters on the back of the photo, only to feel his body trembling unconsciously.
He felt the cold, and the cold hairs on his body seemed to stand up.
He doesn't understand, why is this happening
I want him, why
what does think mean? I didn't get it, so I hoped to get it. Thinking is a beautiful vision, thinking is a wish.
However, this word should not appear here.
Lin Anlan remembered very clearly that he came to see Cheng Yu on August 29.
He asked Cheng Yu, "Are you my boyfriend?"
Cheng Yu told him, yes.
He said they struck up a relationship a week ago.
Then why, he still wrote on August 26 that I want him.
At this time, they were already lovers, he didn't need to think about it, he was already his boyfriend.
Lin Anlan's hands trembled involuntarily. He quickly flipped through the album, not only this one, but also several others.

He has been able to determine that this is almost a photo of himself that Cheng Yu took from the perspective of a crush when he had a crush on him.
So there is neither Cheng Yu nor Jiang Xu in the photo, because Cheng Yu is just recording his secret love and doesn't need anyone else to appear.
However, if this is the case, then why on August 26, even though he was already with him, he still took such a photo and made such a sigh.
Lin Anlan felt that her mind was a mess, but she felt that she had never been so awake.
He thought of what Cheng Yu said to him, "I changed my phone, so we can't find our chat history, sorry."
He also thought of what Cheng Yu said to him, "We are in an underground relationship, so no one knew we were in a relationship, and we didn't take a photo together."
He also thought of what Cheng Yu said, "I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."
He was always afraid that he would regret it. When the two had a relationship, Cheng Yu rejected him, saying that he was afraid that he would regret it when he regained his memory.
When he quarreled with Jiang Xu and said he never wanted to see Jiang Xu again, Cheng Yu persuaded him not to do this, saying he was afraid that he would regret restoring his memory.
He always didn't understand before, there was nothing to regret, but now he knows.
Lin Anlan felt uncomfortable for a while.
He tried to find evidence to convince himself, telling him that it wasn't what you thought, and that Cheng Yu didn't lie to you, but the more he thought about it, the clearer the past.
Jiang Xu said, "He lied to you, he lied to you."
"How could he be your boyfriend? Even if you take 10,000 steps back, would you fall in love with someone your friend hates?"
"What evidence does he have, apart from his mouth, what else can prove that you are his boyfriend? Is there any evidence? Is there any physical evidence?"
"You have nothing to do at all, nothing to do!"
Lin Anlan felt that something was flowing out of his eyes. He lowered his head, tears fell on the album, and with a "pop", a line of water stains slid down.
He silently wiped the tears from his eyes, then closed the album and put it back in the box.
Cheng Yu lied to him, he lied to him.
He had always wondered why he would become a lover with Cheng Yu. He knew that Jiang Xu and Cheng Yu had such a relationship, and he knew that Jiang Xu would not want to see him and Cheng Yu together, so what would he do? Will go to fall in love with Cheng Yu, and make the muddy water more and more turbid.
He shouldn't have provoked Jiang Xu so much, even if he knew that Jiang Xu had gone to see Cheng Feng behind his back, he shouldn't have done such a thing to retaliate against Jiang Xu. of hatred.
What's more, he probably didn't know it at the time.
Lin Anlan always thought that something happened in the middle, something else happened that he didn't recall, that's why this happened.
But now, he understands.
He wasn't with Cheng Yu at all. His understanding of himself was not wrong. What was wrong was what he thought was his relationship with Cheng Yu.
He and Cheng Yu were not lovers at all.
Cheng Yu is not his boyfriend, never has been.
Cheng Yu's hand suddenly froze, inexplicably, for no reason, and panicked.
That kind of feeling was not strong, it was looming, so Cheng Yu couldn't ignore it, but he didn't know why.
"Happy birthday grandma." Yu Heng picked up the teacup and said to Mrs. Yu.
The old lady Yu said repeatedly: "Okay."
Cheng Yu immediately smiled and said, "Happy birthday to grandma."
"you are happy too."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile, but was inexplicably worried in his heart.
Lin Anlan put the box back and walked back to the bedroom.
He looked at Cheng Yu's oil painting on the bedroom wall. In the painting, he was spotlessly clean, sitting happily among the tulips.
This was drawn by Cheng Yu when they were recording a show in the e country, and it was shipped back later. He liked it so much that Cheng Yu hung it on the bedroom wall.
But now, Lin Anlan didn't know how she was feeling.
He took out his mobile phone and made a rare call to Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu picked it up in surprise and asked him, "Xiao Lan, are you looking for me?"
"You said earlier that Cheng Yu lied to me, he is not my boyfriend."
"Yes." Jiang Xu said quickly, "Of course he is not your boyfriend, how could he be your boyfriend, you don't like him at all!"
"Do you have any evidence?" Lin Anlan asked.
"The two of you are not related, how can there be evidence to prove that you are not related. Xiaolan, do you believe me? In this way, I will show you our previous WeChat chat records, which occasionally mention Cheng Yu, When you see it, you will know that you really have no feelings for him, and he is really not your boyfriend."
"Okay, I'll find you when I need it."
"Xiao Lan, did you finally find out that he is a liar?" Jiang Xu excitedly asked.
Lin Anlan didn't speak and hung up the phone.
He sat on the bed silently, waiting for Cheng Yu to come back.
He still wanted to do the last struggle, and wanted to hear what Cheng Yu had to say.
He wanted Cheng Yu to tell him that he didn't lie to him, they were really lovers, and he was really his boyfriend.
He wanted Cheng Yu to show evidence, and he wanted Cheng Yu to tell him that he misunderstood the words in the photo.
Everything is fine, just don't lie to him.
He sat quietly, listening to the ticking of the clock.
Cheng Yu sat in the living room of Yu's house, but for some reason, he was always uneasy.
He sent Lin Anlan a WeChat and asked him: [Have you found the book? 】
Lin Anlan replied to him: [I found it. 】
There was no problem, but he was still flustered.
He didn't understand where this unease came from, but he was afraid that something had happened to Lin Anlan, so he wanted to go back early.
"Grandma, I still have something to do. I'll leave first and see you next time." Cheng Yu said warmly.
Mrs. Yu was not very willing, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, I haven't eaten a few bites of this dish yet."
"It's really something, wait until next time, I will definitely accompany grandma on your birthday."
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu didn't force her to keep it any longer, she just said, "Then you remember."
"it is good."
Cheng Yu stood up and walked out, Yu Heng sent him off and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I'm always uneasy in my heart."
"Don't think about it." Yu Heng patted his shoulder, "It'll be fine."
"Hopefully."
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he got into the car and drove back.
It was already dark, and the light night had a veil on the city, which looked very quiet.
Cheng Yu had never felt that the road was so long, he was already driving fast, but he still couldn't see his home.
Obviously his home is there, but he can't go back.
He galloped all the way, wanting to go back as soon as possible, to see his beloved as soon as possible, and to calm down his heart as soon as possible.
Cheng Yu opened the door and rushed into the bedroom impatiently.
Lin Anlan sat beside the bed, as quiet as a painting, and instantly made him put his heart back in his stomach.
"I'm back." Lin Anlan said softly, he looked at his watch, "Earlier than I thought."
"I missed you, so I came back early." Cheng Yu approached him and sat down beside him.
Lin Anlan looked at him and looked at him deeply.
He looks so good-looking, his eyebrows and eyes are as if someone had specially painted them, with the most affectionate colors and the most gentle outlines.
How good he is to himself, he has always been willing to give him everything he wants, and he will never touch anything he doesn't like.
Who can see that he is a liar
Who could have guessed that he might not be his boyfriend
"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu asked with concern when he saw that he had been looking at him with a sad expression.
Lin Anlan looked at him, and he asked him, "Cheng Yu, can you answer a question for me?"
"sure."
"Have you lied to me?" Lin Anlan asked him, "Even once, have you lied to me?"
Cheng Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Anlan to ask this, he stared at Lin Anlan blankly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"No," he heard himself say after hesitating.
"How could I lie to you." His words were gentle and sincere, sounding very believable, making people want to rely on them.
Lin Anlan nodded, and he asked, "Then can you tell me why in the photo on August 26, you wrote that you want me? Weren't we already together at that time? Then why do you still think? "
Cheng Yu was instantly struck by lightning, and the whole person froze in place.
He finally knew what the panic he had been feeling was.
He finally knew why Lin Anlan asked him if he had lied to him.
Those photos, how could he forget those photos!
Those are all photos from a long time ago, and it's not too early, after all, it's still last year. He has liked Lin Anlan for so many years, but he couldn't love him, and he couldn't walk by his side, so he could only rely on these photos for comfort.
He took too many photos, and he kept them in the album in chronological order until Lin Anlan knocked on his door.
He didn't expect that Lin Anlan would think he was his boyfriend, and he didn't expect that he would actually dare to admit it.
So he put away those photos and put them in the bookcase in the study together.
He was afraid that Lin Anlan would see it, that he would hate his perverted behavior.
But he didn't expect that Lin Anlan still saw it, and he even found the flaw in his lies through those photos.
He was careless, he was too careless, he didn't expect that Lin Anlan would go to the cabinet under the bookcase, and he didn't expect that he would see those photos.
Cheng Yu was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to justify it.
Of course he could tell him that what he said meant something else, but after that, did he lie to him again, and lied to him all the time
Even if he wanted to, would Lin Anlan still believe it
When Lin Anlan didn't doubt him, everything he said was believable.
But when Lin Anlan began to doubt him, his flaws were simply too many.
He didn't even have a photo of them before.
Cheng Yu looked at him, speechless.
Lin Anlan felt completely uncomfortable at this moment.
He looked at the person in front of him, his eyes sour.
How he hoped that Cheng Yu would tell him that he was thinking wrong, that he was thinking too much, but Cheng Yu told him with his actions that what he thought was true.
"Don't you have any explanation?" Lin Anlan asked him, "Did I think wrong? I thought too much, not what I thought."
Cheng Yu looked at the rippling water in his eyes and a bitter taste in his mouth, he said, "I'm sorry."
