He Zhongcheng did not allow He Xian to help He Yan and the Cheng family. He was old, but his vision and courage were still there.
Although He Yan's injury was not serious, he had a broken leg and would have to lie in bed for several months to recuperate and undergo rehabilitation. He had been lying in bed for a while and had gained a lot of weight.
Because of Lian Yuan's death, the Cheng family has been keeping a low profile these days. Sheng Qiuhua basically didn't look at Cheng Duoduo well - even though He Yan explained to her that his car accident had nothing to do with Cheng Duoduo, and that he got into Lian Yuan's car that night because of a series of accidents, it was just a coincidence, Sheng Qiuhua still felt that it was all Cheng Duoduo's fault. She was scared when she thought about it now.
She complained to He Bu Tong privately: "If I had known it would be so troublesome, I should have let He Yan marry an ordinary girl. She would definitely be obedient to him, quiet and well-behaved, so I wouldn't have to worry about these troubles. Her family is too powerful, which is also troublesome."
He Bu Tong had always ignored her complaints. After so many years, he had long been accustomed to turning a blind eye to Sheng Qiuhua's complaints. But this time, he finally felt a little bit of a response in his heart - Cheng Duoduo made him a little disappointed, or to be more precise, He Yan made him a little disappointed.
He knew there was a gap between He Yan and He Xian, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. Even if He Yan followed the steps and walked along the path he had laid out, an accident could still happen.
He Zhongcheng did not allow He Xian to interfere in this matter. He Bu Tong knew about it but did not say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
Lin Sitao occasionally heard people talking about He Xian's family affairs in the company.
There were also some outrageous rumors, including one that He Xian didn't like women and that was why he failed to marry the eldest daughter of the Cheng family.
Lin Sitao now understood what He Xian meant. Listening to gossip was one thing, but becoming a topic of public discussion was another. If the affair between him and He Xian was made public, he would not be able to escape.
Chen Yi introduced him to a girlfriend again. He felt very sorry and had to lie to Chen Yi in order to hide the truth.
This time he told Chen Yi that he already had someone he liked and wanted to pursue. Chen Yi immediately understood what he meant, which was a euphemism to say that she didn't need to introduce him to anyone in the future. She didn't think much of it and just made a few jokes. Since Lin Sitao didn't mean that, she certainly couldn't force him, but she still felt sorry for him. They were from the same hometown, and she knew that Lin Sitao had a hard time. If they could get married and settle down, it would be easier for two people to struggle together than alone.
For Lin Sitao, this was like planting a bomb. He knew where the bomb was, and he knew it would explode. The only thing he didn't know was when it would explode.
Unless he and He Xian are in a secret relationship forever, he cannot let his guard down at all.
After the Chinese New Year, the Cheng family's affairs were finally settled. Lian Yuan's death no longer had any impact except for his fans who were still mourning.
He Xian called this a train derailment.
As long as we get back on the original track, we can continue to drive steadily.
Lin Sitao asked him if this kind of thing happened often.
He Xian counted a series of derailments for him and said, "Sometimes, not overturning is just luck."
In May, Xu Dan had time to come to Beijing. She called Lin Sitao in advance and made an appointment with him to have dinner together.
Lin Sitao took half a day to accompany her.
Xu Dan asked about Lin Sitao and his boyfriend.
"How are you guys now?" She accepted this matter well. The only thing she was worried about was that Lin Sitao was being toyed with.
"We? Very good." Lin Sitao gradually got used to hiding this and remained silent. When Xu Dan suddenly asked him about it, he didn't know where to start.
Xu Dan carefully observed his expression and said, "It looks like he's doing well, but why do you seem to be hiding?"
Lin Sitao said: "It's just a temporary thing. We want to keep a low profile."
Xu Dan said sympathetically: "That's right, the faster you show, the faster you share."
After the two finished dinner, Lin Sitao sent Xu Dan back to the hotel before going back. He Xian happened to have just returned, so the two took a walk near their home.
This is also rare, as they mostly go out to play together and almost never take a walk outside the house.
As far as Lin Sitao could remember, this was the first time they walked side by side without getting too close.
He Xian told Lin Sitao one thing: "I might change my job."
Lin Sitao didn't quite understand: "Are you going to promote me to the top position?"
He Xian said: "No. I will leave the company system this time and work in another place."
Lin Sitao asked: "How long will it take?"
He Xian stopped and said, "About three years. The transfer will be made soon."
Lin Sitao stood still and looked at He Xian. The weather was getting warmer, and the grapevines in the park were dense and lush. He Xian was captured by Lin Sitao's eyes.
Lin Sitao said: "Then shall we still walk here?"
They hugged each other almost the moment they entered the door, and slammed the door with their backs. He Xian held Lin Sitao's face and kissed his lips. Lin Sitao put his arms around He Xian's waist and lifted up his shirt.
They did it almost standing there.
After taking a shower, they did it again. This time in the room, the curtains were tightly drawn, blocking the moonlight and the sight of others. They slowed down the pace. He Xian nibbled and lingered on Lin Sitao's shoulders and neck for a long time. He was particularly fascinated by the lines of this part of Lin Sitao.
Lin Sitao closed his eyes and stroked He Xian's thick hair, feeling the wetness and heat. Even when he was lying flat on the bed, he suddenly felt dizzy and felt like he was sick and extremely dependent on the people around him.
He Xian finally continued down.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at He Xian's actions in a daze.
"He Xian..." he called out, "Hurry up..."
After they were done, Lin Sitao closed his eyes. He was almost half asleep, but the topic just now had to continue. It was not a problem that could be solved with just one shot.
Lin Sitao thought that he would definitely wait for He Xian for three years, but the thought of being separated for three years was unbearable.
"Will you wait for me?" Lin Sitao asked He Xian this question in return. He wanted to hear He Xian's promise.
He Xian didn't hesitate. He said gently, "Of course. I only want you."
