Chapter 39

A smell of alcohol rushed to his throat, and Lian Yu suddenly curled up his body.

The next second, a clean trash can was hurriedly pushed in front of him.

Seeing Lian Yu retching in pain, the bar owner sighed and knocked on his head with his fingers a few centimeters away in a fierce manner.

"I thought you would go home obediently after I fired you, but look at what you've done to yourself..."

"Master, please stop reading."

Lian Yu was so annoyed that he covered his ears. The alcohol paralyzed his nerves. He took out a check from his inner pocket and stuffed it into the bar owner's hand with trembling hands.

"Hey, here's some money. Let me be quiet for a while."

After saying that, Lian Yu rushed forward, and half of his handsome face fell on the bar.

He was mumbling something, but I couldn't hear what he was mumbling.

The boss was so worried that he kept scratching his head.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your money. Please ask someone to take you away--"

The boss suddenly stopped talking.

He forced his small eyes to look like they were wide open. He counted the zeros on the check and his tongue became tied.

"One, two, three, four, five, wait, wait, wait, wait, how many is this? Are you really being kept?"

"Hello, I'm here to pick him up."

A clear voice sounded, and a slender white jade hand separated the boss from Lian Yu, caressing the young man's drunken and red cheek tenderly.

Perhaps comforted by this little bit of coolness, the young man groaned and rubbed his cheek against the back of Qin Yi's hand.

The boss opened his mouth wide: "You are the person in the lounge that day!"

"Shhh."

Seeing that the boss kept silent obediently, Qin Yi curled his eyebrows in satisfaction.

"Excuse me, but can I borrow the lounge for another night?"

——

As I went up the stairs from the first floor, the light changed from ambiguous dark purple to warm yellow without any transition.

Lian Yu suddenly woke up.

"Don't touch me."

He pushed Qin Yi away and stumbled onto the sofa. His body sank into the sofa, but Lian Yu felt his heart plummeting.

"I don't need your money now, and I don't need you anymore, so get out of here."

Qin Yi ignored him and sat down beside him.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?"

The alcohol made Lian Yu's movements slow, so he could only wave his hands around and threaten without any deterrent effect.

"Continuous rain."

Qin Yi suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Do you want to do it?" Lian Yu heard Qin Yi ask himself.

"Just one last time."

Qin Yi looked at him seriously, without any hint of joking.

"Tomorrow, I will be your stepmother."

Lian Yu suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, and he turned his wrist to control Qin Yi's hand.

He was so angry that he sobered up a little.

He clenched the thin wrist bones in his hand until he heard Qin Yi's slight hiss of pain.

"Do it, it's a man's job!"

The most direct desire among wild beasts is to bite, such as using barbs and sharp teeth, and they must see blood.

Lian Yu felt the taste of blood spreading on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't tell whose it was.

Qin Yi was leaning over him.

Lian Yu suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and a feeling of grievance welled up in his heart, making him feel sour and bitter.

"You are such a bad man who plays with others like that! I hate you!"

Lian Yu cried so sincerely and realistically that it broke the ambiguous atmosphere that was so thick that it almost broke through the door.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted. He hurriedly wiped the corner of his lips and held Lian Yu's head.

"What's wrong? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?"

"Why are you so skilled?"

Lian Yu had tearful eyes and red eye sockets, looking very pitiful.

"Have you done this with my dad many times!?"

Qin Yi laughed out loud: "It's obviously all about you."

"You lied to me!" Lian Yu was like a child throwing a tantrum. He shouted with a thick nasal voice, "We clearly didn't do it!"

"I didn't lie to you, you forgot."

"But, when we were in the orphanage, even you said that you were always lying to me."

Qin Yi was stunned. He tightened his arms around Lian Yu. He could clearly feel the heart beating continuously under his palm.

"I……"

But I could hear the young man's clear and even breathing.

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

He pressed his cheek against Lian Yu's forehead, feeling the scorching heat from Lian Yu, and slowly curled up his body.

It was a posture of extreme insecurity, like a kitten drenched by a rainstorm curled up in a corner, Qin Yi rested his chin on the crook of Lian Yu's neck.

The mirror reflected Qin Yi's face, so panicked and so fragile.

"Remember it quickly, Xiaoyu. It's been eight hundred years. I really can't stand it anymore."

——

Time passed so quickly that when Lian Yu was sitting at the wedding venue in his suit, he even thought he was still in a dream.

Dream, he thought of the dream of last night again.

In the dream, a blurry figure hugged him regardless of the sweat smell, his teammates ran towards him holding a golden trophy, and the audience cheered continuously.

The figure looked at him seriously, as if reciting an oath:

"Xiaoyu, let's get married when our dreams come true."

"What are you thinking about?"

Lian Yu suddenly woke up from last night's dream. He looked at Qin Yi in front of him, still in shock.

Qin Yi is the protagonist today. He is wearing a clean white suit with a white rose covered with dewdrops pinned to his collar, which makes his eyebrows and eyes look even more profound, delicate and breathtaking.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Yi sat down next to Lian Yu.

"Technically, I can't meet your father before the wedding, but if it's you, it shouldn't be a problem."

Lian Yu's heart was beating heavily. He pursed his lips and clenched his hands at his sides.

"Is that what you came here to say?"

Qin Yi smiled and looked straight at the busy crowd in front of him.

There was still an hour before the wedding was to start, and the scene decoration had already entered the final stage. Under the white flower wall, several staff members were arranging desserts on the booth.

"If I asked you to take me away right now, would you?"

Lian Yu quickly looked at Qin Yi.

His breathing quickened, and he carefully discerned whether there was any clue in Qin Yi's expression that would remind him that this person was just joking.

But Qin Yi just looked at him with a serious look in his eyes.

"I……"

With a buzzing sound, the cell phone vibrated in Lian Yu's pocket, interrupting his answer.

Like a warning.

Lian Yu clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally he suddenly leaned back weakly on the chair: "Stop joking."

"It seems someone is looking for you, so I won't bother you anymore."

Qin Yi stood up and left.

Lian Yu pinched his brows, which were unconsciously wrinkled, and took out his cell phone.

[Chen Yuan: Why do you want to talk to him?]

What?

His body froze for a second, and then Lian Yu suddenly raised his head.

He searched the crowd quickly, but was afraid of seeing that figure.

No, there was no trace of Chen Yuan anywhere.

Lian Yu clenched his hands and forced himself to exhale.

He must have been overthinking it, or maybe Chen Yuan had guessed something, or maybe this was just a trick by Chen Yuan to ruin his mood.

Yes, that's it.

He quickly added Chen Yuan's number to the blacklist, his fingers shaking slightly.

"Young Master, it's a quarter to eleven."

Uncle Li, the gray-haired butler, bowed slightly.

"The wedding will begin in less than a quarter of an hour. You can take your place now."

The seats were filled with guests one after another and the wedding officially began.

The electronic screen is wrapped in a pure white flower bouquet frame, and a countdown keeps ticking on the screen.

0:01:30

After the last 90 seconds were over, after the clock struck twelve, after Qin Yi and his father exchanged rings, from then on, there was no longer any place for him in Qin Yi's life.

"Young Master, it's great to have you back."

Uncle Li looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was wearing a white suit on the stage, with a look of relief on his face.

"Mr. Chu should be very happy now."

Uncle Li is an elder in the Chu family. Not only Lian Yu, but also Chu Tian was raised by Uncle Li.

Later, the Chu family suffered a misfortune and fell into decline. Chu Tian worked hard to run the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Almost all the old people in the Chu family passed away, and only Uncle Li stayed.

So from the day he adopted Lian Yu, Uncle Li treated him as his own grandson.

Lian Yu forced himself to smile, "Really?"

"You don't know that Mr. Chu even considered canceling the engagement so that you would return willingly. You know, a marriage between two families is like a contract; breaking it could result in a huge price to pay."

Lian Yu suddenly felt that he didn't understand something.

He frowned.

"What?"

What made him come home? What broke off the engagement?

Lian Yu's breathing became rapid, and a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

"You don't know? It's Mr. Qin Yiqin..." Uncle Li explained.

Lian Yu's head was buzzing.

He suddenly remembered Qin Yi's last words in the presidential suite that night:

"If you step out of this room now, our lives will be completely over."

Uncle Li was still talking to himself beside me: "If you ask me, Mr. Qin is not a good choice for Mr. Chu. After all, there are hidden dangers -"

Lian Yu suddenly stood up.

The ceremony was in the middle of progress when Qin Yi was led by his father towards Chu Tian on the stage.

At the sudden noise of Lian Yu, everyone around looked at him, including Qin Yi.

The scene seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone who knew the inside story held their breath, guessing Lian Yu's intention of suddenly standing up.

Only the countdown on the screen continues.

10.

9

Qin Yi looked at him, and a tiny light ignited in his eyes.

"Xiaoyu..."

8.

7

"I'm going to kill you!"

Chen Yuan suddenly rushed out from the crowd, holding a sharp dagger in his hand.

6

"careful!"

Continuous rain rushed forward.

5.

4

He opened his arms to block Qin Yi. He saw Chen Yuan's pupils shrink because of his appearance, but it was too late.

3.

2

Suddenly, the countdown stopped, and a lonely number 1 was stuck on the screen, and then slowly dissipated, like a ball of mist seeing the sunlight.

The countdown to the destruction of the world has ended. Just as no one knew its beginning, no one realized its end. Everything is calm.

The people present rushed towards the pool of blood in the center of the wedding. They watched and talked, completely unaware that they had just brushed shoulders with death.

Lian Yu's body went limp.

"Xiaoyu!"

Qin Yi hugged him and pressed his shaking palm on the hole in his abdomen that was bleeding. His slender white palm was almost instantly stained red with blood.

Lian Yu opened his mouth and felt a stream of warm blood flowing out of his throat.

Memories slowly resurfaced in his mind.

He remembered.

"Little liar..."

The rain is like a thin thread.

Qin Yi's shoulders shook violently, and the tears in his eyes finally fell under the heavy burden.

"Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu! Don't sleep, we are about to leave this world. System, open the time tunnel quickly!"

[receive! ]

Qin Yi's system was put into operation quickly.

Lian Yu exhausted his last bit of strength and raised his hand.

"I forgot about you. I'm sorry."

When her fingertips touched the young man's wet and soft face, Lian Yu suddenly felt a little regretful.

If this were the final moment, there were things he would say now.

"I...love..."

The air was still for a few seconds, as if the next breath was taking a long time to come.

The hand on the side of Qin Yi's face suddenly fell off.

"Xiaoyu!"

Only the time tunnel was spinning in vain behind the two of them.
