As a "straight" photographer who's rejected countless male models, Luo Qinglin has secretly loved his white moonlight Jiang Yanyu for seven years - a 195cm luxury runway model known as ...
Chapter 185: The disease breaks out again
"Get out, or I'll call the police and the headlines in China tomorrow will be about you being thrown into prison in Tokyo." Luo Qinglin said coldly.
"Then call the police," Si Moyu stayed in bed and sniffed, her voice pitiful, "My family's business has been completely swallowed up by Jiang Yanyu, and I can't get any work. I have nothing now, and I'm not afraid of anything!"
Luo Qinglin frowned and asked impatiently: "What's the point of you coming to me? Do you think that I can change your situation by whispering a few words to my husband?"
Not understanding why Luo Qinglin was so cold, like a different person, Si Moyu stared at him in confusion, "You..."
"Me what?" Luo Qinglin said coldly, "You want to ask me why I became like this? Why am I so mean to you and not gentle enough to call you 'Mr. Mo Mo'?"
Si Moyu stared, speechless.
Luo Qinglin sneered, "First of all, I am only gentle to normal people. I can't pretend to be nice to people who illegally break into other people's rooms at night."
"Secondly, I am sorry for what my husband did, but I can't do anything about it. He will not take over your family for me. He will only do so because your family's business is attractive to him and profitable."
"Finally, regarding the fact that you can't get any work, it's not because he wants to ban you. He's not that bored. It's because you have poor business skills and no background, so naturally no one will ask you to shoot."
Luo Qinglin was merciless, every word he said hit Si Moyu's sore spot.
"If there's nothing wrong, please leave. Otherwise, I will really call the police and it will become an ugly scene." Luo Qinglin said.
Si Moyu remained silent, his eyes became resentful in the darkness and his face gradually distorted.
"I just pestered you twice, I don't really like you, why..." Si Moyu lowered his voice, spoke incoherently, "Who do you think you are, Luo Qinglin, who do you think you are?!"
Despite the verbal attack, Luo Qinglin remained calm and just looked at Si Moyu coldly.
"I'm really nothing," Luo Qinglin said, "I've already said it before, my husband won't swallow up your family's property for me, he will only swallow up your family's property because it's valuable, please understand the logic behind it."
Si Moyu stared at Luo Qinglin closely, not moving away or speaking, his eyes fierce.
Luo Qinglin waited for half a minute, then couldn't wait any longer. He took out his cell phone, pressed 110, and was about to call the police.
"Do you think Jiang Yanyu likes you?" Si Moyu suddenly sneered, "He doesn't like you. He just pursued you because you look like someone. Who do you think you are?"
Looks like someone...?
Luo Qinglin stopped his hand, and suddenly it felt like a small hammer was hitting his head, which became more and more painful. Suddenly, Shen Yin's voice rang in his ears, vague, sometimes loud, sometimes soft.
"It was obvious that he wanted to stay in China because he loved someone."
"He has liked that person for too long. It has become a habit and he can't forget it."
"It's a pity that man is about to marry a woman. He doesn't like men at all."
......
The memories that were hidden in the corner suddenly emerged, rushed into his mind, and kept flashing back and forth, giving Luo Qinglin a headache.
Shaking images emerged in my memory - the cramped space, the rope, the love potion, the mineral water, and Shen Yin's crazy laughter.
The self-protection from traumatic stress caused a large amount of memory loss from that day.
Luo Qinglin should have only remembered the beginning and the end of the scene that day, when Shen Yin kidnapped him and Jiang Yanyu held the axe.
But now that he was reminded, those images and sounds began to flash back, like a sharp knife, slashing around in Luo Qinglin's mind, making his entire head ache.
"Hiss...Ah!" Luo Qinglin raised his hand to cover the painful area, frowned, looked painful, grabbed his hair and pulled it outwards, trying to use external pain to relieve the pain in his brain.
Luo Qinglin suddenly changed his appearance. Si Moyu thought he had a strange disease and was about to die. He walked up to him nervously and asked, "You, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Luo Qinglin shook his head, holding his breath to endure the pain, and warned in a low voice, "Get out, get out now, if you don't get out, I will call the police immediately."
"You..." Bai Shengyun snorted coldly, his kindness being taken for granted. He said sarcastically, "Why are you so proud? You are just a stand-in."
Luo Qinglin raised his head and raised his voice, his eyes were bloodshot with pain, and he shouted at a volume he had never heard before: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Si Moyu was frightened by the voice and glared at Luo Qinglin with resentment.
"Get out if you want. I'm waiting for the day when Jiang Yanyu divorces you and abandons you!" Si Moyu gritted his teeth and walked quickly out of the room.
Bang!
The door was pulled hard and closed with a loud noise, and the floor was shaking with the movement.
Luo Qinglin immediately fell to the ground, curled up into a ball, trembling, and clutched the fluff on the carpet tightly with both hands to relieve the pain.
The air in the respiratory tract was decreasing, he was overbreathing and short of breath. Luo Qinglin trembled and retracted his right hand, covering his mouth and nose, and forced himself to slow down his breathing.
"Ha ha......"
The hoarse breathing sound was horrible and exaggerated, like a distress signal sent by a person dying of suffocation. If he took one more breath, he would pass out and suffocate to death.
The phone fell on the carpet and landed in front of Luo Qinglin. It suddenly vibrated, the screen lit up, and made a ding-ding-ding sound.
Jiang Yanyu......
This is a video call from my brother...
His vision became blurred in the pain. Luo Qinglin wanted to reach out for his phone to answer the video, but the light gradually turned into a double image, glowing green in the darkness, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the night. No matter how hard Luo Qinglin tried, he couldn't catch it.
"It's just a stand-in."
"He's liked that person for too long."
"It's just a stand-in!"
"He won't like you!"
......
The whisper in the ear gradually became louder, and finally turned into a roar, clashing and roaring in Luo Qinglin's ear.
Luo Qinglin withdrew his hand tremblingly, and dared not touch the phone again. As if he had been burned, he took his hand away, stayed away from the screen, and hid himself.
The ringing sound was still ringing. Luo Qinglin was like a frightened bird, threatened by a hunter, and looked at the phone on the ground vigilantly.
"Stomp it."
"Smash it."
"If you throw it into the water, you won't hear any sound."
The auditory hallucinations in his ears became louder and more complicated. Luo Qinglin widened his eyes and stared at the screen.
"Throw it into the water."
"Throw it into the water..."
"Throw it into the water!"
Under the command of the auditory hallucination, Luo Qinglin gasped and walked tremblingly step by step towards the place where the phone fell.
When his palm covered the phone, Luo Qinglin felt as if he was burned. He let out a hoarse cry of pain, and staggered towards the bathroom with unsteady steps.
Walking into the bathroom, Luo Qinglin stumbled, knelt in front of the toilet, opened the toilet lid, and held the mobile phone with two fingers.
Luo Qinglin regained his sanity for a moment in the critical moment. He hung the phone in the air and did not throw it down immediately. Instead, he wondered what he was doing.
Buzz...Ding ding ding!
The phone screamed again, extinguishing my rationality. The two fingers holding the phone felt as painful as if they were burning.
thump.
Luo Qinglin screamed in pain and let go of the phone. The phone fell into the water due to gravity and finally stopped vibrating and making noises.
The world was still, and there was silence in my ears, no more auditory hallucinations or whispers.
Luo Qinglin stared blankly at the phone in the water. His body gradually lost balance and after a few seconds he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
My eyelids grew heavier, and my sanity returned as the pain subsided.
While his consciousness was blurring, Luo Qinglin made a wish with a wry smile, hoping that when he opened his eyes again, he would remember nothing.
-
Hiss.
Hiss, hiss, hiss......
The sound of electric current rang in my ears, getting louder and louder, making me irritated.
Luo Qinglin frowned, like a drowning man rushing out of the water, he opened his eyes with rapid breathing and sat up.
There were dim lights all around.
Luo Qinglin looked around, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't remember anything.
Move your eyes to the toilet.
His phone… Why was his phone in the toilet?
toilet......
By the way, he threw the phone into the toilet.
Why? Why did he throw his phone?
Luo Qinglin stared at the phone blankly and began to think about the reason carefully.
This time there were no flashbacks in my mind. Instead, it played in chronological order, starting from the moment I met Si Moyu, without any missing parts.
Stand-in, stand-in.
Luo Qinglin stood up sluggishly, replaying these two words in his mind.
Luo Qinglin walked slowly to the bed, picked up the hotel's landline, and mechanically dialed the number he knew by heart.
Beep, beep, beep...
"Why didn't you answer the phone just now?" Jiang Yanyu's questioning voice came from the receiver, full of anxiety and warm love.
Luo Qinglin raised his eyes and looked at the clock. It was just past midnight. He had only been unconscious for a few minutes, but he felt as tired as if he had not slept for several days.
"Luo Qinglin, who were you arguing with just now? Who is in your room?!" Jiang Yanyu asked.
By the way, I can only hear his voice in the app, but not other people’s voices.
When he realized this, Luo Qinglin subconsciously felt lucky that Jiang Yanyu did not hear Si Moyu's voice.
After feeling relieved, an intense pain came over me belatedly, gnawing at my heart, breaking my blood vessels, and severing my nerves, causing excruciating pain to my bones.
Should he ask directly?
Or pretend you don't know?
Luo Qinglin smiled bitterly and thought, why not let him forget what happened just now?
"Luo Qinglin, did you hear me? Let me ask you again, who was in your room just now?"
Jiang Yanyu's voice became paranoid, as if he was going to fly to Tokyo in the middle of the night to capture him, lock him up in the house, and never let him out again.
wrong.
Luo Qinglin's smile froze, and he suddenly realized the problem.
If he was just a substitute, why did Jiang Yanyu want to lock him up, and why did he restrain his perverted thoughts and let him out to work?
If Jiang Yanyu didn't love him or like him, why did she hold him so tightly by her side and even feel anxious about separation?
If he was just a stand-in, why would Jiang Yanyu spend so much money and energy to "turn him gay", create a show for him without expecting anything in return, and confirm countless times whether she was in his world?
Luo Qinglin took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and explained: "Just now Si Moyu was in my room. He said that you took over his family's business because of me."
There was silence on the other side for a moment. Before he could speak, Luo Qinglin continued to lie, "He punched me, and I punched him back and kicked him out of the room. My phone just fell into the toilet, so I didn't receive your call."
Luo Qinglin lied calmly, filling in the reasons for the words that might be questioned one by one, and told them to Jiang Yanyu.
There was still silence on the other side.
Through the radio waves, Luo Qinglin didn't know whether Jiang Yanyu believed it or not, whether this silence was because she was angry about Si Moyu's behavior, or whether she had discovered that he was lying.
Luo Qinglin exhaled silently, and said in his most common coquettish voice: "Brother, my head just hit the ground, it hurts."
"He hit you on the head?" Jiang Yanyu suddenly became anxious. "I'll go get a doctor and bodyguards. You stay in the room and lock the door from the inside. Don't go out alone."
"No, he didn't hit me, he just scratched me with his nails. When I went to the bathroom, I accidentally slipped and hit my head against the wall, and my phone fell into the toilet." Luo Qinglin said in a deliberately aggrieved voice.
"Just a slip?" Jiang Yanyu paused and asked in confusion, "Then why were you panting just now? I thought someone was choking you."
Luo Qinglin was stunned and lied without thinking, "He scolded you, and it was very ugly. After I kicked him out, I got angrier and angrier. I regretted why I didn't scold him back, and finally I couldn't breathe."
There was silence on the other side for a moment, and Jiang Yanyu asked calmly: "Luo Qinglin, do you think I'm a fool? Listen to yourself, is there any logic in what you said? Can you believe it?"
Luo Qinglin pursed his lips, thought calmly for a few seconds, and replied: "Si Moyu just mentioned the past, and I got sick."
"I didn't want to worry you because I recovered quickly this time and I don't think it's serious. I thought it's okay not to tell you."
Luo Qinglin lowered his voice, learned Bai Shengyun's tricks, and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."
Sure enough, after hearing his apology, Jiang Yanyu not only did not ask any further questions, but also stopped speaking in a cold voice. Instead, he comforted him in a gentle voice.
"Forget it, it's my fault," Jiang Yanyu said, "Don't stay in the hotel tonight. It's not safe. I'll have someone pick you up and let you stay somewhere else."
"But......"
"Qin Xiaoxi and Bai Shengyun should also move out. The hotel is not safe."
Jiang Yanyu's tone did not allow for argument, so Luo Qinglin negotiated, "Okay, I'll move out tonight. They're still sleeping. Let's move out tomorrow morning, okay?"
Jiang Yanyu was silent for a moment, and finally compromised: "Forget it, you can move out tomorrow morning. Now go and lock the door, and I'll ask someone to guard your room door."
"Okay." Luo Qinglin obediently went to close the door, and took a photo with his tablet and sent it over to reassure Jiang Yanyu.
Luo Qinglin didn't want to touch the place where Si Moyu had lain, so he slept on the quilt and covered himself with a bathrobe as a blanket. "Brother, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."
"Good night, bb."
"good evening."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qinglin did not close his eyes. He recalled in his mind the expression on Jiang Yanyu's face when he mentioned "first love" - evasive, vague, slightly nostalgic, and unwilling to mention it.
Lying flat on the bed, Luo Qinglin thought for a moment, then sat up, opened his tablet again, and searched through his contacts.
The friend list was almost full, and Luo Qinglin finally found his target when he flipped to the last few pages.
