The subscription ratio was less than 70%. The newest chapters were only 3 days old, so he had to wait 3 days to read them or subscribe again.
Chuxun sighed. "My glasses are really plagued with misfortune. I just got a new one and now they're broken again."
They had to pass through a rocky road in front of them. Lin Yanchen said, "Let me hold your hand and walk."
Chuxun said resolutely, "No."
Lin Yanchen asked puzzledly, "Why not?
You didn't reject holding hands before. Didn't we hold hands last night? "
Chuxun said, "That's different. Yesterday, we were walking. Now, you think I need to be supported to walk. I don't think I'm crippled to that extent."
Lin Yanchen was dumbfounded. "What's there to be stubborn about?"
Chuxun walked forward carefully. The aura around him softened.
Lin Yanchen looked at Chuxun's face. After taking off his glasses, Chuxun's face looked much more tender. The glasses made him look more serious. With his brows furrowed, he looked puzzled. He felt that Chuxun looked better like this.
Chuxun was born with a pair of beautiful eyes. Usually, they were covered by the lenses.
Lin Yanchen walked with him like an ant and said, "A Xun, I think you look better without glasses. Why don't you change to contact lenses?"
Chuxun shook his head. "Glasses are better for glasses."
He was distracted for a moment. Before he could finish his sentence, he almost fell.
Chuxun wanted to pretend that nothing happened. Lin Yanchen stretched out his hand. "A Xun, let's just take it as us taking a walk, okay?"
Chuxun coughed twice and said elegantly, "Alright then."
Lin Yanchen held back his laughter.
Chuxun put his hand in his palm.
Lin Yanchen quietly slid his fingers through Chuxun's and intertwined their fingers. He raised his hand and kissed the back of Chuxun's hand. When he was close enough for Chuxun to see his face, he smiled brightly. "Let's go."
Without his glasses, Chuxun became weak. Although he didn't say anything, he relied on him to move.
Lin Yanchen liked this feeling. Usually, Chuxun was like a gust of wind. He couldn't catch him at all.
Chuxun was meticulous. Naturally, he also noticed Lin Yanchen's care. In his life, only Lin Yanchen treated him like this. Since he was young, everyone thought that he was strong and independent. He never cried, so everyone thought that he didn't need protection. Before, he thought that it was because of Xiao Lin's high professionalism. Now, he even suspected Xiao Lin's true identity. But if it wasn't for money, why was Xiao Lin so good to him?
Lin Yanchen gently said to him, "Do you have any ideas?
If not, there's a lake over there. Do you want to go boating? "
"I'll take you to get a new pair of glasses tomorrow."
"I'll make do tonight."
When he was in danger in the snow valley, his glasses were broken. After he was rescued, he got a new pair of glasses. Chuxun pulled Lin Yanchen's hand and frowned. "Can't we go today?"
Lin Yanchen said, "It's already so late. People have already gotten off work."
Chuxun was skeptical. "Are you doing this on purpose?"
Lin Yanchen said righteously, "Of course not. Why would I do it on purpose?"
Although he said that, he did it on purpose.
It was just a pair of glasses. It wasn't as difficult as picking the stars and the moon. If he gave the order, it would definitely be done in an hour.
But that would be boring. He planned to personally take Chuxun to the downtown optician shop tomorrow to order a pair of glasses. There were people and cars on the street. Chuxun would have to hold his hand tightly. That would be interesting.
The next day.
Lin Yanchen held Chuxun's hand and took him to get a pair of glasses.
As expected, Chuxun didn't dare to walk around and obediently followed him. Lin Yanchen was secretly happy. He felt that he had been led by the nose by Chuxun for many days. Now, he could finally get back at him.
Unfortunately, he could only drag it out for half a day.
What a pity. Chuxun was so cute last night. His eyes were dazed and he even had to carefully feel his way to the toilet.
Chuxun put on a new pair of glasses. The world instantly became clear. He finally came back to life.
He called Lin Yanchen and prepared to leave. Lin Yanchen said, "Get a pair of contact lenses."
Chuxun said, "I said I don't wear contact lenses."
Lin Yanchen approached him.
Chuxun quickly backed away. His face was red. "We're in public. You can't act recklessly."
Lin Yanchen held his hand. "A Chuxun, I'll compensate you with a new pair of glasses and a pair of contact lenses. It doesn't matter if you wear them or not. Just accept them first. They're not valuable anyway. They're just small things."
As the two were talking, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from the side. "Lin Yanchen?
Is that you? "
It was behind Lin Yanchen. Chuxun looked over and saw a girl walking over. She looked to be about the same age as Lin Yanchen. She had long wine-red hair, bright eyes, red lips, and a gorgeous face.
Was she someone Lin Yanchen knew?
Chuxun's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly shook his hand away and turned his head away, pretending that he didn't know Lin Yanchen.
The girl confirmed it when she saw Lin Yanchen's face. She started talking non-stop. "I haven't seen you in a long time. Aren't you in China?
I was thinking of looking for you one day. Seriously, you disappeared suddenly. Wasn't it just because you were bought?
We were all worried about you for a long time … "
Lin Yanchen was so anxious that he was about to explode. How could he be so unlucky? He really wanted to shut this woman up. He hurriedly said in French, "I have something to do. It's not convenient to talk to you now. I'll look for you next time."
The girl was stunned when she heard him speak in French. However, she immediately followed up. "Okay, what's wrong?
Are you angry?
Why are you speaking in French all of a sudden? "
Lin Yanchen said a little fiercely, "It's none of your business."
The girl looked at Chuxun and then at Lin Yanchen. She understood and smiled mischievously. "Oh, I get it. You're afraid of being misunderstood by your new boyfriend?
That's just a coincidence. I didn't do it on purpose. "
Lin Yanchen had been observing Chuxun's expression from the corner of his eyes. The more he looked, the more flustered he became. "Don't say anymore. He … he's not my boyfriend yet."
The girl said, "This is the first time I've seen you so anxious about someone. No wonder you didn't date any girls for long. So it turns out that your hobbies are different. You don't have to hide it from us. I understand and support you …"
Lin Yanchen could only say, "I really don't have time to talk to you. This matter … don't tell anyone else.
Why aren't you leaving? "
The girl said yes repeatedly.
After the girl was chased away by Lin Yanchen, peace returned to the optician's shop.
He had also obtained the contact lenses that were ready.
Lin Yanchen was on tenterhooks. He was afraid that Chuxun would ask questions, but Chuxun only said, "Let's go back."
Lin Yanchen thought about it and took the initiative to say, "You're not going to ask?
She and I are just normal friends. We met when we were studying. "
Chuxun smiled and said, "Who you make friends with has nothing to do with me."
Lin Yanchen inexplicably felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't help but feel jealous when he saw Chuxun walking close to someone else. Chuxun didn't care at all.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he suddenly felt that the distance between them had grown further.
Chuxun buried his emotions deep in his heart. Lin Yanchen didn't know that he roughly understood French.
— — "He's not my boyfriend."
— — "Don't tell anyone else."
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He was disheartened.
Speaking of which, he also felt that he was ridiculous. What was a person who was about to die still looking forward to?
He was silent for a moment and quietly walked closer. He found that Chuxun was really sleeping peacefully.
Was there a mistake?
Lin Yanchen was convinced.
He wasn't so impatient that he would make a move on a sleeping person. It was best if they were both willing.
The turbulence of the air and the high pressure in the air made this sleep very restless.
Chuxun had a dream. It was said that dreaming was a manifestation of shallow sleep, so the more one slept, the more tired they would be.
He dreamed that when he was a teenager, he racked his brains to write a love letter to Ji Tianze. He wanted to dig out his heart, but no matter how he wrote, he wasn't satisfied. He was so anxious that he was sweating. Finally, he wrote a carefully worded confession, but he didn't remember the specific content. He only remembered that he secretly hid it in the inner pocket of his clothes near his heart and kept it warm before he gave it to Ji Tianze. After Ji Tianze read it, he laughed at him. "Chuxun, I treat you as a friend, but you're looking at me with dirty eyes?
I didn't expect you to be a disgusting homosexual monster. "
Suddenly, many vague figures with blurry faces appeared around him. They giggled and echoed his words.
"How disgusting."
"I didn't expect Chuxun to be such a person."
"I've heard that Manager Chu is gay. He can't be thinking of cheating on me, right?
I have to be careful. "
"Above the Sky."
"He's a homosexual. His private life must be very messy."
"Maybe he has a sexual disease."
"Hahahaha, he has a terminal illness. Maybe it's because his private life is too messy."
Chuxun couldn't defend himself. He just wanted to run home and find a place to hide.
But his father didn't allow him to enter.
"You unfilial son!
You're so immoral! "
"It's best if you die outside and end it all!
Even if you die, don't expect me to bury you in our ancestral grave! "
"How did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you? You've made me lose face."
Chuxun was chased around. The world was so big, but there was no place for him to stand.
He was anxious, confused, sad, and desperate.
Why?
What did he do wrong?
Was it just because he was born a man and naturally liked men?
Did he have to suffer and die a horrible death because of this?
Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand and called his name. "A Xun, A Xun …"
Chuxun finally woke up. He opened his eyes and Lin Yanchen's face came into view. It was a little blurry.
He belatedly realized that his face was covered in tears.
Lin Yanchen held his hand tightly and pressed it against his face to warm Chuxun's cold palm. "You had a nightmare. When you cried, you didn't make a sound. You just cried silently. I just saw that your pillow was wet from crying."
He was careful and didn't dare to ask Chuxun what he dreamed of. He was afraid of touching Chuxun's sore spot.
It was the first time in his life that someone cried and made his heart ache. Chuxun looked so weak and helpless.
Chuxun sat up. He was very tired after having a nightmare. He said, "Xiao Lin, hug me."
Lin Yanchen hugged him.
Lin Yanchen's hot chest and broad chest seemed to give Chuxun a place to return to, allowing him to settle down his fluttering heart.
At least at this moment, there was someone who was willing to hug him.
He didn't say anything and just quietly hugged Lin Yanchen. Lin Yanchen stroked his back as if he was coaxing a baby. His breathing gradually stabilized.
He felt cold all over and then realized that it was because of cold sweat. He said, "It's better if you don't hug me. I'm sweaty and dirty."
Lin Yanchen refused to let go. "It's not dirty."
Xiao Lin really did his duty as a lover. Chuxun was initially gratified, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt even more lonely. It was a pity that no matter how real his acting was, it wasn't real. He had spent money to buy it. There was no one in the world who loved him.
He had seen people spend money to buy young bodies. In the end, they couldn't extricate themselves and begged their lovers to stay so that they could continue playing the role in the game of true love. It was probably because they met a master like Xiao Lin.
Fortunately, he had one foot in the grave and was able to keep his mind clear. Otherwise, he might have spent a lot of money to please his lover.
Chuxun gently patted him on the shoulder. "Let me change my clothes. My clothes are all wet. I'll catch a cold if I keep wearing them."
Only then did Lin Yanchen let go of his hand. He looked at him with eyes full of worry. It seemed that he was sincere.
Chuxun took off his shirt. When he was looked at like that, he suddenly felt like he was under a spell. He blurted out, "Let's do it."
Little Lin's scorching hot body immediately stuck to him, and his cold body seemed to be hugging him on its own accord.
Lin Yanchen whispered in his ear. "You're really thin. Did you eat well before?"
Of course … not. He was busy with work and was under a lot of pressure. Sometimes he didn't have time to eat. Sometimes he was stuffed with greasy meat and wine. When he went home, he would vomit on the toilet. He had high self-esteem. No matter what, he couldn't indulge himself and become a bald old man with a protruding belly. It was better to be thin than fat.
…
Lin Yanchen didn't say anything. He just hugged him and stroked his neck and back.
After a long time, Lin Yanchen asked hesitantly, "Can I ask?
I really want to ask you, but I don't know if I'm qualified … What sad thing did you dream of?
Maybe you can tell me about it. "
Chuxun felt that he was very embarrassed. He was crying at such an old age.
Since he was young, his father taught him that a man shouldn't cry easily.
If he cried, his parents would look at him with disappointment. They would tell him not to cry, but they wouldn't comfort him. If he was hurt, he would get up on his own.
It was fine if Lin Yanchen didn't ask. Once he asked, Chuxun suddenly cried even harder.
Chuxun never cried in front of people he knew. It was probably because Xiao Lin was half a stranger. It wasn't embarrassing to cry in front of him. He vented it all in one breath.
Lin Yanchen didn't know what to do.
Other than giving him a hug, he didn't know what else to do.
Chuxun cried for a while and said, "I broke up with my parents because I liked men. We haven't seen each other in five years."
Lin Yanchen's heart was filled with pity. He thought about it and said naturally, "… My mother passed away when I was young. My father and I quarreled. Our relationship is very bad. We haven't seen each other in three years."
Comforting other people's misfortune was showing off his own misfortune.
These two pitiful people met by chance and sympathized with each other.
Chuxun sighed. He wanted to talk about Ji Tianze, but for some reason, he couldn't say it in front of Lin Yanchen. "Sigh, every family has its own difficulties."
Lin Yanchen slowly came back to his senses. Chuxun said that he broke up with his parents because of a man. It definitely wasn't just because of his sexual orientation. Who was that man?
What was their relationship?
He couldn't think about it any further. Just thinking about it casually made Lin Yanchen feel that his heart was blocked and depressed.
Ji Tianze said, "I'll give you a gift.
You're already so old. Why are you still like a child and care so much about your birthday? "
Yes, no one cared about his birthday, so he shouldn't care about it either. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable.
Xiao Lin didn't show his professionalism this time. Not only did he not smile, but he also looked apologetic. "Today is your birthday?
Yes … "
Before he could say anything, Chuxun smiled and stopped him. "Sigh, sigh, today is my big day. I don't want to hear apologies. I want to hear congratulations."
A smile appeared on Lin Yanchen's face. "What gift do you want?"
He had asked a female companion before. She gave him perfume, jewelry, and beautiful clothes. They were the latest season and had to be expensive.
You're the birthday gift I bought for myself. It's the first time in my life that I spent so much money on my birthday.
Chuxun looked at him and shook his head. He lowered his head to eat the cake and commented, "The cream is a little too thick."
Lin Yanchen suddenly understood why he was so obsessed at that time. Chuxun was similar to him. He was lonely and needed someone to accompany him.
After his mother passed away, his father was busy with work. Although he didn't forget his birthday, he couldn't come back to accompany him and compensate him with a sum of money. He could buy any gift he liked. When he was a child, his birthday was more important than the sky. After being disappointed, he no longer looked forward to it. He could even be praised for being "sensible".
Lin Yanchen asked, "Then I'll call you 'A Xun' from now on."
Chuxun just looked up when a soft kiss landed on his lips. He saw Xiao Lin's eyes burning. He said to him, "A Xun, happy birthday."
Chuxun's face was hot. This kid's acting was really good.
By the time they discovered it, the fine snow had already covered the treetops.
Chuxun stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked into the distance in the warm room. It was really a cold winter.
The doorbell rang.
Xiao Lin went to open the door. After a while, he returned to his side with a box of roses in his hand.
Chuxun laughed at him, "So old-fashioned." But it was the first time he received such an old-fashioned gift.
He thought of himself and said, "I don't understand why you give flowers. They will wither sooner or later.
If you give it to someone else, no matter how much effort you put into it, you will have to watch it rot and then throw it into the trash can. "
Lin Yanchen passed the box to him and said, "It won't wither. This is the Everlasting Flower."
Chuxun looked carefully. It was really the Everlasting Flower.
Awkward.
Lin Yanchen kissed him on the lips. "Sometimes your mouth is really bad."
Chuxun did as he said and said with a straight face, "I like sleeping with you, but I don't like you kissing me. In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to kiss me."
After saying that, he left.
Eh.
Lin Yanchen felt distressed. He had never met such a strange person.
If you thought he was licentious, he would be abstinent. If you thought he was passionate, he would turn cold. If you thought he was frank, he would immediately run away.
He was neither friendly nor distant. It was hard to predict.
Lin Yanchen had a focused and stubborn personality. When he was studying, he could be obsessed with solving a difficult problem for weeks. When he was working, he could work on a project for days without sleep. He had to complete it.
He was now very interested in Chuxun. He wanted to understand this person.
