Chapter 11
Ten million?
Qin Yi suddenly stood up from his seat, fearing that Lian Chenglan would say the second half of the sentence.
"No! Mr. Lian..."
"Don't ever leave my son." Lian Chenglan slowly finished his words.
Stop halfway through opening your mouth.
Qin Yi glared at her, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a moment, Qin Yi came back to his senses, closed his mouth, sat down quickly, and said obediently:
"Okay, Auntie."
Lian Chenglan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You really like Xiaoyu and you didn't let me down. From now on, no matter if the children need anything in their daily life or studies, you can tell me."
Soon Lian Chenglan was about to leave, and Qin Yi sent her to the door.
Before parting, Lian Chenglan suddenly spoke:
"Xiaoyu is a little slow, but I think you can change him."
Her long eyelashes trembled, and then quickly drooped down:
"That would be nice if I could."
Qin Yi murmured softly, not knowing whether he was answering Lian Chenglan or comforting himself.
"Let's go."
Qin Yi hurriedly woke up thinking that Lian Chenglan was talking to him, but before he could open his mouth, someone responded before him.
Not far away, the boy next to Lian Yu raised his head and ran towards this side quickly.
"Are you leaving?"
Qin Yi's heart tightened.
He smelled the pheromones on the boy, he was an omega.
Why was he standing next to Lian Yu? What were they talking about just now?
A feeling of grievance suddenly surged up in Qin Yi's heart.
Isn't becoming an omega enough? For Lian Yu, is being a real omega better?
He looked up at Lian Yu, but he avoided his sight.
Qin stood there in a daze.
When passing by Qin Yi, the boy stopped and looked at his expression with interest.
As he watched, the boy suddenly raised his hand and patted Qin Yi on the head, smiling and saying:
"Your little trick has been discovered."
Then he ran quickly towards Lian Chenglan.
"You, what evil thoughts are you harboring again?"
In the car, Lian Chenglan looked at the boy sitting upright in the passenger seat, her tone somewhat helpless. Judging from the atmosphere between Lian Yu and Qin Yiyi when they left, she knew without asking what must have happened.
"It's rare for Xiaoyu to have someone she cares about, and it's also rare for someone to be so sincere to her. Please don't make things difficult for them."
The boy lowered his head, looking somewhat lost.
"But when my mother entrusted me to you, you also promised her that you would find a good alpha for me. Have you forgotten?"
“How could it be…”
"Then," the boy held Lian Chenglan's sleeve and raised his eyes cautiously: "Can you make it up to me, auntie?"
Time passed neither fast nor slow. By the time I finished dealing with all the things, it was already June and Lian Yang had graduated.
Lian Yu attended Lian Yang's graduation ceremony as his elder brother.
"elder brother!"
Lian Yang came running over in a red robe, his hat tassel swaying with his body. "I heard that Zhang Qiang's interrogation is almost done?"
Seeing Lian Yu nod, Lian Yang sighed, "So there's no traitor, just a beast bent on stopping the orphanage from getting better. He got the drugs illegally, and he made the gun himself. Don't you think he could use that time to do something more practical?"
"We're overthinking the situation." Lian Yu smiled and shook her head, quickly changing the subject: "Have you made up your mind? Are you really not going back to the company?"
"Hmm!" Lian Yang nodded his head with a determined look, "I want to try my luck!"
"You've really grown up," Lian Yu said, patting Lian Yang's head. "You've become a great adult."
Lian Yang rarely hid, but just touched his nose awkwardly and muttered: "It's like I was so childish before."
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in their sight.
"Brother Qin!"
Lian Yang waved vigorously to the newcomer and greeted him enthusiastically: "You're here!"
Lian Yu's hand at his side trembled.
It’s strange to say, but after that day, both of them became inexplicably busy and never met again.
As for that incident, it was like an unhealed scar on the top of a tree, gradually covered by the falling snow, and remains unclear to this day.
Lian Yu noticed a fiery gaze falling on the side of his face. It was Lian Yang who was looking at him.
I guess I've been seen through.
Lian Yang slapped his head exaggeratedly: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do with my classmates, I'll be back later!"
Then he disappeared in a flash.
Lian Yu had nothing to say, nowhere to escape, and no way to retreat, so he could only look up and look at Qin Yi in front of him.
The crowd was bustling and moving, gradually dissolving into the dense green shade.
It seemed as if they were the only two people left in the world.
Qin Yi slowly leaned forward and gently rested his forehead on Lian Yu's chest.
There was no hiding from the rain.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the bite mark on the back of Qin Yi's neck, which had long since faded.
Pale, like the irretrievable, passing time.
There's not much time left.
"I missed you so much."
Qin Yi hid his expression but spoke directly, including the trembling in his voice.
Lian Yu closed his eyes.
"You were the one who tampered with the inhibitor back then, right?"
The sudden words were like an icicle stuck in the back of a shirt's collar, and the person in front of him shivered.
Qin Yi suddenly raised his head, his expression showing a panic that Lian Yu had never seen before:
"No! The doctor said you can't use inhibitors... You're such a good person. If you knew you might lose control, you would never let me stay with you... I, I'm afraid you would drive me away..."
The explanation became confusing due to panic, but Lian Yu understood it.
Perhaps it was because he understood Qin Yi's cautiousness that it was so painful when he drew the knife.
I'm not okay at all.
"But you still lied to me."
Lian Yu pushed Qin Yi away from him expressionlessly, and that step back seemed to be saying, please keep your distance.
"I hate deception."
Qin Yi's body swayed and he staggered and fell backwards.
Lian Yu clenched his fists suddenly and almost couldn't control the urge to take a step forward to support the person.
Qin Yi held up the wall by himself.
The pale knuckles showed that the owner of the hands was ready to collapse.
"Qin Yi, you really disappoint me."
Lian Yu turned and left.
[As expected of Xiaoyu, a professional scumbag actor!]
Tutu jumped out, his red eyes flashing with excitement.
Lian Yu didn't respond, but Tutu continued to speak half-heartedly, seemingly unable to understand the atmosphere:
[This way, even if Xiaoyu suddenly disappears, the protagonist will only think it's his fault. After falling into self-blame, the resentment value will not increase. However——]
The mechanical rabbit's ears twirled, and a smile inexplicably appeared on Tutu's expressionless face:
[Xiaoyu, tell me, after you leave, will he look for you forever?]
"Stop talking."
After the words slipped out of his mouth, Lian Yu realized the displeasure in his tone. He suddenly fell silent, and after a while he spoke again:
"Let's go, find a deserted place, open the time tunnel, and go to the next mission world."
[receive! ]
Tutu answered straightforwardly, but soon sighed in hesitation:
[Ah… light rain…]
Lian Yang was seen walking towards this side, followed by a strange man whom Lian Yu had never seen before, who was also wearing a red robe.
"elder brother!"
Lian Yang extended his arm and waved, leading the stranger to Lian Yu's side. He introduced him enthusiastically, "This is Zhang Yu, a fellow disciple of mine. He heard you're supporting the orphanage, and he really admires you. He's been saying he wants to meet you."
"Mr. Lian."
Zhang Yu bowed and offered his hand, his attitude was extremely humble and polite:
"I also grew up in an orphanage, so after learning about your deeds, I really admire you very much. I am honored to meet you today."
Lian Yu smiled and shook hands back without enthusiasm.
The other person's palms were wet, not sure if it was because of the heat or nervousness.
"It's just a small favor." Lian Yu withdrew his hand.
"It's just a piece of cake..." Zhang Yu's eyes were inexplicably wide open, staring at Lian Yu's waist and abdomen: "Just a piece of cake, is it going to destroy him?"
Lian Yu couldn't hear the whispers, so low as a mosquito's. He frowned:
"Excuse me?"
Zhang Yu suddenly raised his eyes.
Lian Yu's heart trembled and he instinctively took a step back.
The cold light had already cut through the scene before his eyes.
"I want you to give my father back to me!"
The last thing in sight was Zhang Yu's hideous face, which was then splattered with blood.
"Mr. Lian!"
Lian Yu felt himself falling into a soft embrace.
Qin pressed his wound in a panic, but blood still flowed out from between his palm and fingers like a fountain of blood.
"No, don't sleep! Please... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't lie to you again, please don't leave..."
So stupid.
Hot tears fell on Lian Yu's face.
He made Qin Yi cry again.
Lian Yu struggled to raise his hand, and his fingertips touched the wet white cheek, leaving a weak blood mark.
Don't cry, it's obviously not your fault.
Lian Yuduo wanted to speak, but his mouth was covered with blood.
[Congratulations to Xiaoyu for completing her mission and entering the next world——]
It's time to go.
The scene before my eyes fluctuated and became increasingly blurred, finally plunging into darkness.
Lian Yu's hands dropped.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to hear Qin Yi's last murmur.
"How can I find you?"
