When Lin Yuhe came back, it was already evening.
Coming out of the shopping mall, the outdoor temperature was very cold and the wind was blowing hard. Lin Yuhe was wearing a fluffy and soft white down jacket, like a cloud floating in the wind.
Not long after floating, he was intercepted by an oncoming car.
Lin Yuhe had been saving money to pay off debts. In order to save money, she had already gotten used to the subway, and rarely took a taxi even in winter. The cold wind outside was too tormenting for him. Lu Nan reminded him several times, but then he stopped talking and asked the driver to stop him and bring him back.
The shopping mall is a bit far from home, and it takes more than half an hour to come back by car. When the car drove into the community, Lin Yuhe looked down at the time, and the phone that sensed the sight automatically turned on and unlocked, and the chat history that stayed on the screen before locking was displayed.
On that, it's hard for Lu to say—I'll still miss you.
Probably because the warm air in the car was turned on too much, Lin Yuhe rubbed the tip of his nose, and a little sweat broke out in his palms.
He went upstairs from the underground garage, and it was warm all the way. The warm and suitable temperature gives people enough space to think, but even after thinking about it, Lin Yuhe's courage has not been exhausted.
Lin Yuhe felt that he should be braver. Besides, it was just a very common sentence, just a normal response to Lu Nan's gift ten times and a hundred times.
Walking to the door of the house, Lin Yuhe rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and a tall and familiar figure stood in front of him. The man was wearing a black shirt and a suit vest, dazzling as if he had just walked out of the flashlight, but without any sense of distance, he stretched out his hand and untied Lin Yuhe. The scarf took over.
"Are you back?" Lu Nan looked down at him, reached out and touched his side face, "Is it cold outside?"
"It's not cold." Lin Yuhe smiled, his brows and eyes slightly curved, he rubbed against the man's warm and dry palm, raised his hand to unzip the down jacket, "I forgot to reply to your message just now..."
Lu Nan: "Huh?"
His attention was still on the soft touch of the palm, and he noticed the reddish pinnae of the young man a second later.
And the beautiful light in those black and white clear eyes.
Lin Yuhe looked at him and said, "I miss you too."
After Lin Yuhe said this, he lowered his head and continued to pull the down jacket, but for some reason, the zipper seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't untie it.
After two more pulls, Lin Yuhe gave up. He took a light breath, raised his head again, and tiptoed forward to kiss the man on the chin.
The smell of mint aftershave.
Lin Yuhe pursed his mint-flavored lips, walked around the man standing there, and was about to go to the living room. Even if he didn't have a long memory, after so many personal experiences, he knew that it was dangerous to take the initiative to kiss. It's better to stay away, otherwise it's easy to be pulled over, pressed into my arms and kissed back.
But this time I don't know whether it was Lin Yuhe who walked in time, or Lu Nan was caught off guard by surprise. Lin Yuhe, who had no chance of winning in terms of physical strength, was not pulled back.
He continued to want to go to the living room smoothly, but before taking a few steps, he froze.
"Brother Geng? You, why are you here?!"
In the living room, the long-legged and long-armed Geng Zhi was sitting on the sofa, his face darker than Lin Yuhe's inkstone. Fang Musen, Lu Nan's special assistant, was sitting on the other side of the sofa beside him, looking down at the patterns on the floor carefully without looking sideways.
Lin Yuhe never expected that there were other people at home.
"this… "
There was a "buzz" in his head.
Then what he said just now, and the action he took to kiss his brother, were all, all...
The man behind him followed at this moment, and his reaction was much calmer in comparison. Even though the thing he wanted to do the most at the moment couldn't be done because of outsiders, Lu Nan didn't show any impatience.
He walked up to Lin Yuhe, squatted down on one knee, and helped them untangle the half-stretched zipper carefully. The zipper stuck in the middle was finally unzipped smoothly, and Lu Nan got up again to help someone take off the down jacket.
The patience, intimacy, and proficiency in the movements can be seen by anyone with eyes.
Geng Zhi's face turned even darker.
He subconsciously wanted to smoke a cigarette, and his hands were shaking with anger. The cigarette was crumpled as soon as he took it out. When he ignited the lighter, he also held his breath. There were several "clicks" and "clicks" in the air, and finally there was a fire. , The flames "cracked" and jumped high, and the flames were frighteningly prosperous.
Fang Musen, who was concentrating on looking at the floor, finally raised his eyes and reminded him softly.
"Lin Shao has a bad trachea, smoking can easily choke him."
Lin Yuhe waved his hands back to his senses, and said dryly, "It's okay, I'm fine."
Geng Zhi still didn't smoke after all, he pinched the cigarette - to be precise, he pinched the cigarette in two and threw it into the trash can.
There's not even an ashtray here.
After taking off their coats, Lin and He sat on the sofa, and their conversation finally continued.
Geng Zhi's face was still very gloomy, especially when he saw the man next to Lin Yuhe silently peeling pears for someone to eat, his expression was even more ugly.
But he spoke anyway.
"I happened to meet Komori at the gate of the community, and followed me in."
Lin Yuhe was surprised: "Do you know each other?"
"To be precise, we know each other." Geng Zhi said, "Auntie Yunyao sponsored several local out-of-school children, and one of them was Komori."
Lin Yuhe was even more surprised: "...my mother?"
"Yes." Geng Zhi said, "You were still young at that time, only five or six years old, so you may not remember."
Geng Zhi and Fang Musen were both fourteen or fifteen years old at that time.
Lin Yuhe froze for a moment, he and Fang Musen had known each other for so long, and it was true that he had never thought of this matter.
"So the person who sends flowers to my mother's grave every year and writes the name...is you?"
Fang Musen nodded: "It's me."
Lin Yuhe asked: "Then do you know the relationship between me and my mother?"
"I know," Fang Musen said, "When I went to thank Aunt Yunyao, she told me that my name made her feel very kind, because she originally wanted to give you this name."
Lin Yuhe was stunned.
No wonder when he mentioned his name to Fang Musen, the other party said it was not the first time.
No wonder the other party treated him very preferentially from the very first meeting.
Fang Musen apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't mention this to you before."
Lin Yuhe was a little surprised, and hurriedly waved his hands: "It's okay, it's okay."
This is not something that needs to be mentioned, and even if Lin Yuhe doesn't have much contact with business matters, he also knows that the position of special assistant is quite special, and it is not appropriate to get too close to the chairman's family.
After talking about Fang Musen, Lin Yuhe always felt that he still had some doubts that had not been resolved. He glanced at Geng Zhi, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Geng, why is your complexion so bad?"
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Lin Yuhe realized belatedly that the man next to him hadn't spoken since he entered the door, and he was just peeling Sydney in silence at this moment, without saying a word.
Geng Zhi finally spoke: "It's fine."
"It's just that the jet lag is not reversed." He rubbed his face and said, "I have nothing to do, so I'll go back first, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Yuhe nodded: "Okay."
He wanted to get up to see Geng Zhi off, but was stopped by the other party: "It's cold outside, don't run around."
Fang Musen: "Then I will take my leave first."
Lin Yuhe escorted them to the door, Geng Zhi and Fang Musen went downstairs together, silent all the way, the empty elevator seemed a bit quiet.
Fang Musen suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Why didn't you say anything?"
The reason Geng Zhi came in was not Fang Musen, but Lu Nan.
He was going to directly talk to Lin Yuhe about it just now.
"say what?"
Geng Zhi's complexion was very ugly.
"You said he tricked Xiaohe for the second time?"
Fang Musen pursed his lips: "It's not a lie..."
Geng Zhi sneered: "Isn't it a lie? It's not like you don't know how much Xiaohe clings to him back then!"
Facing Fang Musen, he didn't want to use a harsh tone, but when he thought of Lu Nan, Geng Zhi's anger immediately began to burn his reason.
"The result? What did Lu Yingying do?!"
Their conversation did not reach the ears of the people upstairs.
As soon as Lin Yuhe turned around after closing the door, a snow-white pear was handed in front of him.
Lu Nan finished peeling the Sydney pear, inserted it with a toothpick, and handed it to Lin Yuhe's lips.
"Eat some."
Sydney pears are very sweet, not the beautiful crown pears you buy in the supermarket, but a local variety that is a specialty of Sichuan. It doesn't look very good-looking, but it is surprisingly sweet and juicy.
Lin Yuhe took a bite, and the refreshing aroma spread between his lips and teeth. Sydney is not cold, and the man took care of his stomach and warmed it in the incubator for a while in advance.
"It's delicious." Lin Yuhe said, "Thank you brother, I'll do it myself."
Lu Nan handed him the porcelain bowl containing Sydney pears.
Lin Yuhe ate a piece with the bowl in his hand, hesitated for a while, and said, "Sorry, did I bother you just now?"
Geng Zhi was his friend after all.
Lu Nan paused: "No."
He reached out and rubbed the young man's chin with his fingertips.
"do not think too much."
As long as there is no one, Lin Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "Then brother is unhappy because of the Lu family's affairs?"
"I went out with the third young master today, and the third young master told me that the Lu family is planning a new plan, intending to pour dirty water on my brother, saying that you have killed your brothers."
What Lu Yingshun said was very cryptic, but Lin Yuhe understood, and it was only at this time that he understood the reason why Lu Yingshun came to the mainland during this period of time - the Lu family's influence is in Xiangjiang, and it is easy to manipulate public opinion. In contrast, it is Yancheng This side is safer, but the situation will be beyond Lu Nan's control.
Lu Nan squeezed his chin again: "It's okay, I can handle it."
Lin Yuhe looked at him worriedly.
"I always feel that my brother has been very tired dealing with these things..."
Lu couldn't bear it a few times, but in the end he couldn't.
He couldn't keep himself away from Lin Yuhe.
"It will be tiring," Lu Nan said in a hoarse voice. He leaned against Lin Yuhe's forehead, looking at those clear and beautiful eyes full of himself, "So I need you to recharge."
Lin Yuhe was stunned: "Me?"
"Um."
Lu Nan snatched some of his pears.
Not from a bowl.
"Need you to miss me."
Lin Yuhe had forgotten the proactive kiss when he first entered the door, and finally he waited for the desired result.
Sydney is sweet and full of charge.
—
Early the next morning, Lin Yuhe was invited out by Geng Zhi.
Geng Zhi got straight to the point: "When do you plan on getting a divorce?"
Lin and He were at a loss for words.
Seeing his expression, Geng Zhi eased his tone and asked, "Do you want to divorce him?"
Lin Yuhe hesitated: "I may not be able to divorce."
He told Geng Zhi that the divorce affected the stock price and the prenuptial agreement.
But Geng Zhi said: "Don't think about those things, they can all be resolved."
"You can give up your property directly, and the news of the divorce is completely suppressed. The matter of Taiping's change of chairman was suppressed before. The outside world didn't pay attention to this matter at all. How much impact will a divorce have?"
"You don't have to be afraid of him, brother will support you." Geng Zhi asked, "I can leave now, will you leave?"
Lin Yuhe: "..."
Geng Zhi: "Don't think about that, businessmen will never suffer, just think about yourself and say it directly."
"Do you want to leave?"
Lin Yuhe was silent for a long time, then whispered.
"… In no mood."
Geng Zhi closed his eyes.
"...fuck me."
