The sunlight outside was blocked by the curtains, leaving only a sliver of light to shine in, making the bedroom dimly lit.
Lin Qingyan felt as if she had slept for a long time. When she woke up and looked at the dark and empty bedroom, she felt a sense of loneliness as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
But this feeling vanished instantly upon recalling what happened last night, leaving only confusion, depression, and unease. In fact, I don't remember much, which is the most unsettling thing.
He only remembered meeting An Nanyi at the club last night, and then drinking because he was in a bad mood. He was a little drunk at the time and saw An Nanyi leaning on Gu Fei's shoulder while drunk...
Then, he deliberately told Gu Fei that he felt unwell, and Gu Fei picked him up and carried him away in front of everyone in a very embarrassing princess carry, and then... then he had no recollection of it.
"..."
He really didn't expect that his alcohol tolerance was so low that he would be knocked out after just one drink, and what's worse, he blacked out completely. He couldn't remember what happened after that, but he was still wearing the same clothes he wore last night, which were now all wrinkled.
Ten minutes later, when Lin Qingyan stood in front of the mirror and saw her cracked lip, she felt even more confused and uneasy.
He could only ask Gu Fei.
Lin Qingyan tidied himself up in his room before going downstairs. It was already late, and the cleaning lady told him that Master Gu had already gone to work.
Butler Shen came over and asked him if his head hurt. (Original URL)
Lin Qingyan naturally didn't notice. "It's alright, Uncle Chen, do you know how I got back last night?"
"Master Gu carried you back; he was the one who took care of you last night."
Seeing the boy's instantly uncomfortable expression, Butler Shen smiled and didn't say anything more. "Go have breakfast first, and then have some hangover soup. Master Gu specifically instructed that."
Lin Qingyan could only nod reluctantly.
After having breakfast and a bowl of hangover soup, Lin Qingyan sat on the sofa holding the little orange cat. The fluffy little guy was sleeping lazily in his arms with its paws tucked in, enjoying a particularly comfortable life.
The boy absentmindedly stroked the orange cat, hesitated for a moment before dialing Gu Fei's number. The call was quickly answered, and a familiar voice, transmitted through the phone's static, seemed particularly alluring, "Yan Yan?"
Lin Qingyan gripped his phone tightly and stiffly called out "Brother Fei." Gu Fei asked him if his head hurt and if he had eaten breakfast, his tone as cool and calm as ever, yet with a hint of gentleness.
Lin Qingyan answered each question one by one before getting down to business, "Brother Fei, thank you for taking care of me last night... I didn't do anything strange after I got drunk, did I?"
Judging from these words, the child had blacked out and didn't remember what he had said or done last night. Gu Fei raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips with his fingertip, as if savoring the kiss from last night.
He remained silent, seemingly deliberately keeping the boy in suspense. Lin Qingyan grew increasingly uneasy until he heard the man ask cryptically, "What do you think you would do, Qingyan?"
Lin Qingyan: "I...I don't know."
Gu Fei: "You were just asleep, you didn't do anything."
Lin Qingyan was a little unsure. How did he get a small cut on the corner of his lip? He couldn't have bitten himself, could he? But Gu Fei had no reason to lie to him. Just then, the man's deep, magnetic voice sounded again from the other end of the phone, "What? Does Yan Yan want something to happen?"
Lin Qingyan hurriedly denied it, his tone flustered as if his secret had been exposed, "No, no, then I won't disturb your work anymore, goodbye Fei-ge." After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.
The little orange cat in his arms woke up at some point, snuggled against him, and meowed twice. Lin Qingyan gently tapped his head and pretended to be angry as he questioned it, "Little orange cat, did you bite my mouth last night while I was asleep?"
The poor little orange cat was innocently blamed for its owner's actions and could only protest by meowing a couple of times.
...
The matter was dropped, and no one brought it up again. Lin Qingyan had no reason to deliberately avoid Gu Fei anymore, and their relationship returned to normal. However... something was different.
Lin Qingyan knew something was different. He was very clear about one thing: he liked Gu Fei, not the kind of liking one has for an elder or a friend, but the kind of liking where he wanted to kiss him and sleep with him.
Lin Qingyan felt ashamed of her thoughts, yet she couldn't help imagining them, which made her even more ashamed.
He didn't know when he fell in love with this man; perhaps it started in his past life, and maybe he had already fallen for Gu Fei back then.
Lin Qingyan didn't know why Gu Fei was so good to him, but it didn't matter anymore. When he was lonely, helpless, and tormented by illness, it was Gu Fei who found him and took care of him. On his deathbed, it was Gu Fei who stayed by his side and shed tears for him.
In this second life, Gu Fei took him home and cared for him just like in his previous life...
He would also be moved by Gu Fei, blush and feel his heart race. He would get jealous when others deliberately approached Gu Fei. Unconsciously, he became more and more dependent on Gu Fei. When Gu Fei was by his side, he felt safe, as if he had nothing to fear.
This is a feeling that Wen Yan can never give him.
Looking back, there weren't many happy times when Lin Qingyan dated Wen Yan in her previous life. Wen Yan was a gentle person, but he was gentle to everyone; he wasn't the only special one.
He could never find a sense of security in Wen Yan.
He didn't even want to compare Gu Fei and Wen Yan; Gu Fei was good in every way.
Lin Qingyan thought that since he missed his chance with Gu Fei in his past life, he wanted to seize this opportunity in this life.
I want to... I want to stay with Gu Fei forever.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but burn.
This thought was like a seed that took root and sprouted in his heart, growing wildly with an unstoppable momentum, firmly rooted in the depths of his soul, and could never be pulled out.
——
On the day that Tomorrow's Stars officially began recording, Gu Fei personally drove Lin Qingyan to the recording location. The recording location was also in Nancheng, but Nancheng was very large, and it took about two hours to drive from the villa to the destination.
The young man, who had just realized his feelings for her, was reluctant to part with his sweetheart. Although he was shy, he still opened his arms and hugged the tall man, whispering in his ear, "Brother Fei, I will miss you."
At such close range, the boy's voice was soft and gentle, his breath brushing against his neck and spreading to his heart. The boy seemed shy, and quickly let go after speaking. Gu Fei raised his hand and pulled him back into his arms.
"No matter what happens, you can come to me."
"good."
"take care of yourself."
"good."
"come on."
"good."
"..."
They seemed to understand each other implicitly, and didn't say anything more, just hugged quietly for a while, feeling each other's breath and warmth.
Gu Fei stood there, watching the tall, slender figure gradually disappear from sight, before turning around and getting into the car. He sat quietly in the car for a while until his phone vibrated.
"Mr. Gu, the DNA test results you asked me to send out last time are in," Assistant Yang said on the other end of the phone. "Neither parent nor child is related by blood; they are not biologically related."
Gu Fei was silent for two seconds, then said, "I understand."
He wasn't too surprised by the answer; it was the answer he expected. The fact that they weren't his biological parents might be a good thing for Lin Qingyan, but Gu Fei didn't intend to tell him about it now.
We need to find out the truth about what happened back then.
After hanging up with his assistant, Gu Fei dialed another number. "Could you please help me investigate something else? It might be a bit difficult..."
On the other side, Lin Qingyan, completely unaware of the situation, dragged her suitcase and arrived at her destination under the guidance of staff. There were quite a few people there, including a group of stylishly dressed young trainees and many staff members.
Lin Qingyan spotted Lu Yuqi at a glance. While everyone else was chatting and laughing in small groups, introducing themselves, this cool guy exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. He was leaning against the wall playing on his phone, not talking to anyone, and no one dared to talk to him.
Lu Yuqi put his phone away after seeing Lin Qingyan approach. He walked over and, without a word, started dragging the suitcase, then clicked his tongue in surprise, "Lin Qingyan, is there brick in this suitcase? How come it's so heavy?"
"It's just a few more books; I can carry them myself."
Lu Yuqi said coldly, "Don't move, I'll do it."
Lin Qingyan could only awkwardly withdraw her hand.
Lu Yuqi's cousin, who was always cold and aloof and detached from worldly affairs, had called him before he came and instructed him to keep a close eye on Lin Qingyan and not let him be bullied, especially to be wary of a person named An Nanyi.
Who exactly is this Annan Yi?
When Lu Yuqi and Lin Qingyan walked together, they instantly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone knew Lu Yuqi to some extent. This young master was extremely arrogant, and there were very few people who could hang out with him.
Everyone was curious, but when they saw Lin Qingyan's face, they instantly felt a serious threat. What does a talent show prioritize? It's the face. No matter how good your skills are, the audience's first impression is your face.
Lu Yuqi was already good-looking enough, but the boy beside him was no less so, and even slightly better. Not only was his face good-looking, but his body proportions were also good, and his temperament was also excellent. From a distance, he exuded a kind of cool and gentle temperament like moonlight.
This is a face that you'll never forget.
All eyes turned to the same place. An Nanyi, who was chatting with someone, followed their gaze and exclaimed in surprise, "Yan Yan, you're here!"
An Nanyi smiled and walked towards Lin Qingyan, stopping in front of him. "Yanyan, I've been waiting for you."
In front of so many people, Lin Qingyan simply smiled politely at him. Lu Yuqi, who was standing next to him, asked, "Is he your friend?"
Lin Qingyan: "High school classmate."
"Hello, my name is An Nanyi." An Nanyi smiled warmly and extended her right hand to Lu Yuqi. "Lu Yuqi, I've heard of you before, it's nice to meet you."
Lu Yuqi had his left hand in his pocket and was dragging the suitcase handle with his right. He showed no willingness to shake hands, but simply smiled and said, "Oh, it's you..."
Annam.
