Lu Lingxi died.
As a child born by his parents through precise genetic matching, for eighteen years of his life, he lived entirely for his brother, who had leukaemia. He was his brother’s sha...
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue drove back and found that Dahei was abnormal. He got out of the car and looked in the direction of his sight, but saw nothing.
Lu Lingxi looked worried, "A car just passed by and Dahei is like this." He said while stroking Dahei's head, trying to calm him down. The car was driving fast, and Lu Lingxi only recognized that it was a black Audi, and didn't see anything else.
Yan Yue frowned slightly, thinking of something. It had been a while since Dahei was hit, so Dahei might not be able to recognize the person who hit him. However, dogs have a very sensitive sense of smell, and Dahei is very smart, so it might be an accident.
Yan Yue's eyes fell on Dahei. Despite Lu Lingxi's comfort, it still looked very angry. It stared fiercely ahead and uttered a low threat. Dahei had been acting too harmless around Lu Lingxi during this period of time, and Yan Yue almost forgot that it was a stray dog before. A dog that needed to fight, fight for food, and be aggressive to survive.
Yan Yue squatted down like Lu Lingxi did, and looked into Dahei's eyes seriously, "Is that the car that just passed by the car that hit you?"
If someone had mentioned to Yan Yue in the past that he would talk to a dog as seriously as a human being in the future, he would have thought that the other person was crazy. But the reality was that he was trying hard to figure out Dahei's thoughts at this moment. He was actually not very sure that Dahei could understand such complicated words. Although Dahei usually behaved very smartly and Lu Lingxi often talked to Dahei, he always felt that Dahei's reaction was a conditioned reflex and that he might not really understand what the boy said. But to Yan Yue's surprise, after he finished speaking, Dahei, who had been angry, calmed down a little and yelled at him softly.
Yan Yue concealed his surprise, looked at Dahei steadily, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Remember his smell. Next time you find him, I will take you to get revenge." His dominance was clearly revealed in this sentence, even though he was talking to a dog.
Dahei looked at Yan Yue hesitantly for a while, then his bent body slowly calmed down, the cruelty in his eyes faded, and he no longer roared, but whimpered in grievance. Yan Yue looked at him and curled his lips, then reached out and touched Dahei's head vigorously. Dahei did not avoid him like before, and looked at Yan Yue with a little more trust in his eyes.
Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, a little surprised but more shocked. Yan Yue's aura was so strong that even he was a little intimidated. The calmed down Dahei rubbed against Lu Lingxi's arms as usual. Perhaps realizing that he had scared Lu Lingxi before, Dahei licked Lu Lingxi's fingers in a flattering manner, as if the dog with standing hair just now was not him.
Yan Yue watched its movements, the upturned corners of his mouth drooped, and he couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart. What a stupid dog. On the way back, Lu Lingxi didn't sit in the passenger seat but sat in the back seat and held Dahei all the time. Yan Yue stared at Dahei calmly. Of course, Dahei couldn't understand what Yan Yue wanted to express through his eyes. Out of a kind of closeness, Dahei squinted his eyes and wagged his tail at Yan Yue.
Yan Yue: “…”
The weather in summer changes quickly. Yan Yue had just driven halfway when a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and heavy rain poured down. The sky was getting darker and the visibility around was extremely low. Yan Yue turned on the car lights and slowed down.
Soon there were no pedestrians on the road, only a continuous stream of car lights. Looking out the car window, the sky outside was as dark as midnight. Another lightning bolt struck, and Dahei pressed closer to Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi noticed its movements and scratched its chin to comfort it.
"Don't be afraid." Most animals are afraid of thunder and lightning, which seems to be natural.
While waiting for the red light, Yan Yue looked back. Lu Lingxi curled his eyes, held Dahei's front paw and waved at him. Yan Yue's eyes were filled with a smile, and the corners of his lips curved into a faint arc. There were lightning and thunder outside, but the carriage seemed to be isolated from all wind and rain, forming a world of its own that made people feel at ease.
It would normally take only ten minutes to go home, but today it took more than half an hour. Yan Yue parked the car downstairs in the community and stopped Lu Lingxi from getting out. "Wait for me, I'll pick you up." He remembered that there seemed to be an umbrella in the trunk, and before the boy could refuse, Yan Yue had already pushed the door and got out of the car.
The rain outside was heavy, and it hurt when it hit my face. The strong wind blew up the fallen leaves and gravel on the ground, whistling and blowing towards people. Yan Yue raised his arms to cover his face and walked around to the back of the car. Lu Lingxi looked at him through the car window, and something seemed to be slowly growing in his heart. Before he could come to his senses, Yan Yue had already opened the back door with an umbrella.
"Dahei comes down first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dahei slipped out of the car, slid into the corridor, shook off the water on his body, and squatted there waiting for Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi followed Dahei and was escorted home by Yan Yue, who covered him tightly with an umbrella.
"Xiaoxi, I'm leaving first." Yan Yue didn't go in. He was all wet and it was not very convenient.
"Brother Yan, wait until the rain stops before you go." Lu Lingxi looked at the dark sky outside with concern. It was too dangerous to go out in this weather. Besides, Yan Yue was soaked, so he had to wipe it off.
The boy's expression was serious, his eyes were full of concern, and it was difficult for Yan Yue to refuse his invitation, or rather, he was unwilling to refuse. He folded the umbrella in his hand and followed him in. Lu Lingxi quickly found a towel for him, and went to Wang Shuxiu's room to find the clothes that Lu Yishui had left there. His clothes were too tight, and Yan Yue would definitely not be able to wear them.
After all the hassles, Yan Yue looked helplessly at the floral shorts in front of him. Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, because this was the most suitable one he could find. "Brother Yan, take a shower and change clothes first. I'll go to the backyard to take a look." Lu Lingxi was still thinking about the tree he planted at noon and the full yard of tomatoes.
In the backyard, the saplings that had just been planted at noon had been blown into a 45-degree angle by the strong wind, and it looked like they might break at any time. As for the tomatoes that had been heavy on the branches before, they were beaten to pieces by the raindrops and rolled all over the yard. The tomatoes were fine, they could be eaten after washing. If the willow sapling broke, it would be a waste of time to save it. Lu Lingxi was a little worried, thinking about finding something to support himself, and was about to go out with an umbrella. As soon as he opened the door, Yan Yue grabbed him.
"Xiaoxi, what are you going to do?"
While he was saying this, the rain outside had already blown in, and Lu Lingxi's T-shirt was immediately wet.
"That tree." Lu Lingxi was a little worried.
Yan Yue looked at his wet T-shirt, his eyes darkened. He had protected the boy all the way and didn't let him get wet, but he didn't want him to come back to work in the rain. With a little effort, Yan Yue quietly took the boy into his arms and pushed him back to the house. "Tell me what you want to do, I'll do it."
"Brother Yan..." Lu Lingxi wanted to refute, but Yan Yue took the umbrella and walked out without giving him any chance to refuse.
The rain was getting heavier, Yan Yue squinted his eyes and looked at the sapling in front of him that looked a bit like a mop pole. It was really thin, and he was afraid that it would not be able to hold anything up. Yan Yue was thinking about what to do, and Lu Lingxi disobediently squeezed next to him with an umbrella, holding a rope in his hand. A gust of wind blew, and the umbrella in Lu Lingxi's hand was instantly blown over. The pouring raindrops fell one after another, and Yan Yue was a little anxious. He stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, and moved the umbrella above his head to the boy's head. Although Yan Yue's movements were not slow, Lu Lingxi was still soaked all over. The boy's body was slightly cold, and he was tightly pressed against him without any defense. Yan Yue couldn't get angry at all, so he could only frown and say seriously: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the house?"
Lu Lingxi felt inexplicably guilty and whispered, "Hurry up, both of you."
He held the rope and gestured to Yan Yue. Yan Yue guessed what he meant, shook the rope and wrapped it around the sapling several times, and tied both ends to the fence. This way, there was no need to worry about it being broken by the wind. After the sapling was ready, Yan Yue refused to let Lu Lingxi take care of the tomatoes in the field, and directly carried him back to the house.
"Go take a shower quickly." Yan Yue felt that Lu Lingxi was too thin and was afraid that he would catch a cold after getting caught in the rain.
Lu Lingxi nodded obediently and did not refute Yan Yue's words.
The rain outside was getting heavier, as if a hole had been poked in the sky, and there was no sign of stopping. Yan Yue stood on the balcony and looked outside, his mind full of the scene of the boy in his arms just now. This was the first time the two of them had a real intimate contact, and the feeling was as good as he imagined. He had some uncontrollable impulses, and his whole body felt like it was on fire. The slightly cool raindrops floated on his body, awakening Yan Yue's rationality and suppressing his reverie.
"Brother Yan? What are you looking at?"
Lu Lingxi took a shower very quickly and came out soon. He saw Yan Yue standing on the balcony and walked over with some curiosity.
Not sure if it was Yan Yue's illusion, he always felt that the boy had a scent of grass and trees. He looked at the boy with a dull look in his eyes, suppressing the heat in his eyes, and said calmly: "See when the rain outside will stop? I'm afraid it won't stop tonight."
Lu Lingxi poked his head out to take a look outside and said casually, "It doesn't matter if you don't stop. Brother Yan, you can stay here tonight."
Although he said it casually, Yan Yue's heart was filled with turbulent waves. He tried his best to suppress it and not lose his composure.
Lu Lingxi's attention was all on the outside. He looked at the tomatoes on the ground with some regret. Basically, all the tomatoes had been knocked down. After the rain, it would probably take a few days for the next one to grow. The only thing to be thankful for was that the tomatoes on the ground could be eaten after washing. However, there were too many tomatoes on the ground. It was estimated that they could not eat them all. Should they make tomato sauce?
Lu Lingxi was seriously distracted, his mind was full of ketchup. Yan Yue stared at him quietly, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
The mental scan unconsciously spread out, covering the entire yard. Lu Lingxi originally wanted to see if the tomato plants were okay, but the white panel floated out, showing not the tomatoes, but the entire yard.
The cultivated land has been polluted. Should we use some natural power to purify it?
