A few days later, Lin Yuhe received a notice that the engagement time was chosen on a Sunday in November.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Sunday was the day when Lin Yuhe had the least homework burden. For him, this date was chosen very friendly.
The date information was sent to him by his stepmother. In addition, the stepmother also said a lot of things behind the selected date.
Because this day is not an auspicious day selected by the Lu family, after Lu Nan set the next Sunday, the Lu family had a good argument with Lu Nan, but they were finally blocked by Lu Nan's "no time" and forced to make a concession .
The relationship between the Lu family and Lu Nan is not a day or two away, otherwise Lu Nan would not have gone to the mainland alone to develop. But he is still a member of the Lu family, and the Lu family still maintains control over him.
I heard that for this engagement, the Lu family had already decided on all the procedures. Although they would not send people all the way to the mainland to attend an engagement ceremony, all the procedures have been carefully calculated, and they are all for the prosperity of the ancestors and the prosperity of the family. move.
But the only thing they failed to count was that Lu Nan was suddenly promoted.
After Lu Nan was promoted to the chairman of Taiping, subtle changes occurred in the confrontation with the Lu family. He didn't listen to the Lu family's orders very much in the first place. After he was promoted, it was even more difficult for the Lu family to forcibly interfere with his actions.
Fearing that Lu Nan would simply call off the marriage if he got offended, the Lu family had no choice but to back down.
Wu Xin explained all kinds of similes, metaphors, and power disputes on the phone, and repeatedly warned Lin and Hexing to be careful in their affairs, and they couldn't afford to offend either the Lu family or Lu Nan.
Lin Yuhe was busy preparing for the mid-term exam, and absent-mindedly answered a few times with "hmm", and didn't remember a few words in total after listening to it. He only felt that the affairs of the rich and powerful were very complicated.
But that's good too, people like Young Master Lu who come from a wealthy family must be very neat when cutting off ties. It is estimated that when the agreement is over, the two parties will divorce, and Lin and He can just pack their bags and leave.
In the process of listening to his stepmother, Lin Yuhe also wondered whether "Master Lu was angered and directly canceled the marriage" would come true, but at present, this is just a good hope for the time being.
Lin Yuhe didn't focus too much on this kind of thing, he was still concentrating on preparing for the midterm exam.
A few days later is the mid-term exam. Eleven professional courses took a total of three days to finish.
After the three-day exam, the students felt as if they had been skinned. Leaving the examination room, even the cold air was much sweeter.
Several people from 404 made an appointment to gather at the gate of the building and go back to the dormitory together. Shen Huixi, who came out first, stretched his arms, moved his stiff body, and let out a long sigh.
"It can be regarded as coming out alive."
Zhu Bo at the side looked in his pockets for a tissue, trying to wipe his glasses.
"It's such a cold day, I just sweated a lot in the exam."
Lin Yuhe was about to help him find a tissue when his back suddenly sank.
"Who am I, where am I..."
A weak voice came from behind, and Zhen Ling lay on his shoulders, as if he had collapsed.
"Am I still alive?"
Shen Huixi next to him spoke up: "You have already made a box, and you have to deliver a courier to your opponent."
Zhen Ling thumped: "No! I will eat the cake myself!"
Lin Yuhe handed the tissue to Zhu Bo, and said with a smile, "We can eat the four-person meal that night for the three of us."
Zhen Ling wailed in a long voice, "No way!"
They made an appointment to go out for a big meal together after the exam. Lin and He carried a big oil bottle on their backs all the way, and the four of them chatted and walked towards the dormitory.
Shen Huixi asked: "Where are we going to eat at night?"
None of them had any specific goals, Zhu Bo said, "Then let me search for comments."
They were too busy to find something to eat.
Zhen Ling hadn't recovered from the exam yet, and still had that half-dead look, clinging to Lin Yuhe without any image.
When the others were talking, Zhen Ling's nose moved slightly, sniffed, and couldn't help but say, "Hehe, you smell so sweet."
Lin Yuhe laughed: "Are you so hungry that you want to eat human flesh?"
"No!" Zhen Ling retorted, "It's that kind of medicinal smell that comes with you."
This is true, Lin Yuhe has hereditary asthma, and has been soaked in medicine jars since childhood. Although his asthma has become completely controllable now, it can almost be regarded as cured, but the smell of medicine on his body has never dissipated, it is faint, and can be smelled when you get close.
However, the dormitory is used to talking nonsense. As soon as Shen Huixi heard it, he complained mercilessly: "The smell of medicine? The last time you went to the Chinese medicine to chase someone, didn't you say that you were almost suffocated by the bitter smell of the pharmacy?" Did you throw up?"
"That's different," Zhen Ling insisted, "the smell of medicine on He He's body is much better."
He couldn't help but continue chatting with Lin and He: "Your physique must be the protagonist in the novel, and it smells like medicine, so fashionable."
Lin Yuhe laughed: "Don't think that I haven't seen those short video novels you usually read. Are you going to say in the next sentence that my physique is usually a bitter male second?"
Zhen Ling smiled and said, "There is also a male lead, if you want to see it, I will recommend it to..."
He stopped suddenly in the middle of his words, as if something had strangled his throat. Lin Yuhe was the closest to him, and immediately noticed Zhen Ling's sudden stiffness, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know..." Zhen Ling subconsciously shrunk behind him, muttering, "It's strange, why do I feel a sudden chill on my back, it's so cold..."
Lin Yuhe asked, "Did you catch a cold from the wind?"
Zhen Ling didn't answer, but raised his hand and pointed in one direction, stuttering: "Then, who is that person?"
Several people were puzzled and looked in the direction of Zhen Ling's finger.
I saw a tall man wearing a dark blue long trench coat standing under the tall acacia tree.
It's late autumn, and the thick and strong acacia tree will let out the strength accumulated for a year. The trees are full of gorgeous golden yellow, just like a big bucket of paint, blooming brightly and flamboyantly.
But under the brilliance of that tree, the man's figure was not tinged with any warmth, he was like a sharp knife drawn out of its sheath, with a cold light, and the sharpness that could not be concealed was all around him .
Even the notoriously cold wind in Yancheng's autumn days can't compare to the coldness on his body.
Zhen Ling, who had been leaning on Lin Yuhe's back all the time, felt a little fear for some reason, and subconsciously let go of Lin Yuhe's arm.
It's just that Lin Yuhe didn't pay attention to Zhen Ling's actions at the moment, he was full of surprise—why did Mr. Lu come here
Because he was too shocked, Lin Yuhe didn't pay attention to the reactions of the people around him, so he couldn't see the expression of Shen Huixi beside him either.
Seeing Lu Nan for the first time, Shen Huixi's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed slightly, and his brows frowned.
Could it be that... But why did he come here in person
Before Shen Huixi could ask his doubts, Lin Yuhe hastily said: "It's someone I know, wait a minute, I'll go say hello."
He quickly ran towards Lu Nan under the tree, and this time he finally remembered the address.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Lu Nan still had no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell how long he had been standing here. He glanced calmly at Lin Yuhe's collar, which was pulled to a mess by his roommate, where a blinding white was quietly exposed.
Lu Nan said, "It happens to be a meeting nearby."
"It's been hard work." Lin Yuhe asked, "What can I do for you?"
Lu Nan finally looked away from the white neck of the other party, and said lightly: "I remember you finished the exam today."
Lin Yuhe nodded: "Yes, I'm done."
He took the initiative: "If there is any arrangement, I can do it now."
Lin Yuhe was actually quite lucky that Mr. Lu chose this time to come. Although he has always had good grades since he was a child, he can be regarded as "other people's child" in the words of his parents, but now he still inevitably feels a little nervous before every exam. Relatively speaking, he will relax a lot after the exam.
At this time, if you do what Mr. Lu arranged, you can perform better.
Lin Yuhe waited wholeheartedly for Lu Nan's order, but they didn't wait for the other party to speak.
The man was silent, with an elusive expression on his face.
Did he say something wrong? Lin Yuhe was wondering when he heard the man say, "You've worked so hard on the exam, I want to come and see."
Lin Yuhe was stunned after hearing this.
He didn't even react at first, and after a pause of two seconds, an incredible idea took shape in his mind.
Mr. Lu doesn't mean that... knowing that he has finished the exam, he came here to celebrate him, right
How can this be
After finally finishing a big exam, I really want to share happiness with others. When Zhen Ling was not single before, she would call her girlfriend after the exam, and Zhu Bo would also post updates on Weibo or live broadcast platforms.
But no matter what kind of sharing it is, it is difficult for Lin Yuhe to connect them with Young Master Lu—he really doesn't seem like a suitable sharing partner.
What's more, Mr. Lu is still so busy now.
Lin Yuhe couldn't help being at a loss for words, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Lu Nan saw the other party's surprise at a glance.
Lin Yuhe is twenty-one years old, and it is almost impossible to be regarded as a child. But in Lu Nan's eyes, he was indeed a child. The big boy who opened his eyes slightly because of surprise showed a slightly childish look, and in Lu Nan's eyes, he was surprisingly cute.
Lin Yuhe's appearance was already very good, but such a real expression made his handsome eyebrows more vivid, and made people unable to move their eyes away.
Lu Nan admired it quietly for a while, and didn't intend to embarrass the other party for too long. He took out a thin bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yuhe.
"I still have two cooperation projects to discuss in the evening. Here is this card for you. Show it before meals to skip the line and have a good dinner with your classmates."
Lin Yuhe was even more surprised. He shook his head hastily and said, "It's okay, we can eat by ourselves."
Lu Nan didn't speak, and put the card directly into Lin Yuhe's pocket.
And help him zip up his pockets.
Lin Yuhe couldn't hold on any longer: "...Thank you."
After giving him the card, the man did not back away. The close distance between the two made the back of Lin Hehe's neck slightly tense. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Mr. Lu's fingertips lightly moving the zipper pendant on his pocket.
Lin Yuhe: "..."
He always thought that Dong Lu had the kind of personality that could not easily accept the approach of others, but he never thought that the other party would make such an action so naturally... Does Dong Lu have obsessive-compulsive disorder
Apart from obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lin Yuhe really couldn't find a reason to explain why Young Master Lu acted like this.
Still thinking wildly in his mind, Lin Yuhe heard the man's deep voice falling beside his ears.
"Although I can't attend, I still want to participate in your business."
Lin Yuhe was slightly stunned, and when he raised his eyes, he met Lu Nan's gaze.
The man's expression was calm, but his eyes were so focused that he was the only one reflected in his eyes.
"May I?"
Lin Yuhe's throat was a little tight, he opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say the rejection.
He nodded slightly.
"Um."
He found that such words were said by the always cold Mr. Lu, and it was unexpectedly impossible for people to refuse.
After talking about the bank card, the man finally backed away a little, and the normal safe distance between them was restored.
Lin Yuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Lu Nan was going to leave and continue to work. He was about to say goodbye to him, but found that the other party had no intention of leaving, and instead turned to the three roommates who were waiting for Lin Yuhe. He took a look and asked, "Is that your classmate?"
Lin Yuhe nodded: "Yes, they are my roommates."
Lu Nan said in a calm voice, "The one who hugged you just now?"
holding
Lin Yuhe was stunned for a moment before realizing that the words were referring to Zhen Ling who was lying on his back just now.
"Well, he is my opposite bed..."
Halfway through the conversation, Lin Yuhe also realized something, and felt that something was not right.
Although the roommates are all boys, he and Director Lu are actually of the same sex. Anyway, it's better to explain clearly.
He said: "Because everyone just finished the exam, they are all a little excited, so they habitually want to find someone to hug..."
Lu Nan repeated slowly: "A habit?"
Lin Yuhe was a little uncertain about the meaning of the man, touched the tip of his nose and said, "Yes."
He thought about it: "It's just that I'm happier after the exam..."
While talking, he carefully observed the man's expression, but Mr. Lu has always been expressionless, and he couldn't see any clues.
But listening to Mr. Lu's tone, the man didn't seem to be too angry.
Lu Nan just asked: "Then are you happy?"
Lin Yuhe said truthfully, "I'm very happy."
Lu Nan didn't speak again, and only let go of the arms that were originally clasped, and the hands naturally drooped.
Lin and He looked at each other silently, but didn't make any movements, a little confused.
Lu Nan waited patiently for a while, and seeing that he still didn't respond, he asked, "Isn't it a habit?"
Lin Yuhe didn't understand: "... huh?"
Lu Nan was still very patient, and explained bit by bit: "You said just now that you were happy after the exam, so you used to find someone to hug you."
He looked at Lin Yuhe: "Aren't you happy too?"
Lin Yuhe: "..."
This time he understood, but he began to deeply doubt whether he had heard it wrong.
In fact, long before meeting Lu Nan, because of his stepmother's introduction, Lin Yuhe had thought that it would be difficult for a man to be cold-faced and reticent, who would disdain to talk to him.
But he never expected that what really made him feel troublesome in the end was when the other party spoke.
It's just that things have progressed to such a point, and what the man repeats is exactly what he said just now, Lin Yuhe has no way to refute, so he can only bite the bullet and practice what he said, and went forward to give him a hug.
Because he was inexperienced, he was disturbed and his steps were not very steady, so he almost bumped into him this time.
What he touched was an unexpectedly warm embrace, and as soon as he got close, there was a faint scent of heavy wood in his mouth and nostrils, which was the breath Lin Yuhe was most familiar with and also the most reassuring to him.
Before he had time to think about the brand of this surprisingly pleasant men's perfume, someone grabbed Lin Yuhe's back lightly, and the side of his waist was also tightened a bit. It wasn't tough, but somehow made people feel at ease. feeling.
Warm and dependable.
This hug was much better than what Lin and He had expected in their panic.
But even so, once the hug was over, Lin Yuhe retreated from the embrace in a hurry, and his tone was a little hasty when he spoke: "Then I won't waste Lu...brother's time, work harder, and be careful on the road!"
In contrast, Lu Nan's movements were much calmer, and he even helped him straighten his collar.
Warm fingers touched the naked skin inadvertently, Lin Yuhe was afraid of ticklish, and shrank reflexively, but rubbed against the man's knuckles even harder.
His body stiffened and he held his breath. Fortunately, Lu Nan withdrew his finger quickly, and said lightly, "Go, be careful too."
Lin Yuhe waved goodbye to the man obediently, and was only slightly relieved after the man left.
He turned back to find his roommates, who were still waiting where they were, looking at him curiously.
Zhen Ling looked at Lu Nan's back, and seemed to have lingering fears: "Hehe, who is that?"
The skin on the side of Lin Yuhe's neck, which had been rubbed just now, still had some itch. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's my brother, here to deliver something."
He spoke vaguely, and did not intend to really explain Lu Nan's identity.
Hearing this, Shen Huixi's expression froze slightly. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Lu Nan left, without saying a word.
Lin Yuhe didn't pay attention to his reaction, and just wanted to expose this matter quickly. He coughed lightly, and said, "He gave me a gold card. Let me invite you tonight. Have you decided where to eat?"
Zhen Ling and Zhu Bo looked at each other, but neither answered.
Lin Yuhe was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhen Ling hesitated to speak, "Hehe..."
Lin Yuhe: "Huh?"
Zhen Ling pointed to his face: "Your face is so red."
