Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Jin Man grabbed the escaping chicken and jumped from the tree...
Jin Man caught the escaped chicken and jumped down from the tree, found the bag, and put the delicious food into it.
After doing all this, he stood up with his things, dusted himself off, glanced at Lu Yanlin, and then looked at the noble-looking young Alpha next to him. He hadn't seen anyone from the Lu family for a long time.
However, Lu Yanlin's friends didn't get along well with him. The topics they talked about were sometimes economics, sometimes literature, and they were so jumpy that he had trouble listening and couldn't keep up.
Jin Man didn't think much about it. While brushing the dust off his trouser legs, he asked Lu Yanlin: "Where's Lu Zhi? Didn't you go to pick him up?"
Lu Yanlin looked up at him and said calmly, "I answered it. I'm at home."
Jin Man didn't say anything. The two had a fight more than ten days ago. Jin Man was no longer angry, but although Lu Yanlin looked magnanimous, he was actually a vengeful person. It was estimated that this matter would not be so easy to let go.
He lowered his head and picked up the scattered things on the ground. He looked at the car on the side of the road again. It had a black and red body and tall and handsome tires. He had never seen it before. It was also different from the car Lu Yanlin often drove. It was probably not the family car.
So, what about his chicken?
"Lu Yanlin... didn't you drive here?"
Lu Yanlin remained cold: "No."
Xin Mihe watched with curiosity. If you ask who in this circle is the most polite and steady in dealing with people from childhood to adulthood, it must be Lu Yanlin. No matter what the status of the person is, he can deal with them. The only difference is whether he is willing to do so.
He had never seen Lu Yanlin be so disrespectful to others.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Yanlin turned around and left without introducing him to the Alpha.
Xin Mihe chuckled, and when he saw Jin Man looking over, he quickly waved his hand, still smiling, and pointed at Lu Yanlin: "My brother is tired. You must be Brother Jin Man, my name is Xin Mihe."
Seeing his friendly face, Jin Man reached out and shook his hand, half-heartedly. He was holding a chicken in one hand and vegetables in the other, and explained, "I really can't walk anymore... I asked the driver to pick me up, and I don't know why he came... You guys go ahead. I'm covered in dust and carrying a chicken. I'll be there in a little while."
Xin Mihe keenly sensed that something was going on between Lu Yanlin and this Alpha, and said with a grin, "That won't do, I came out specially to pick you up."
He reached out to put his hand on Jin Man's shoulder, but then he saw the chicken feathers on his clothes and turned to take the bag from him: "Let me take it."
When Jin Man was not paying attention, the bag was taken away by Xin Mihe, so he had to follow with the chicken in his arms.
The back seat was empty. As soon as Jin Man sat down, the front window rolled down. Lu Yanlin was sitting in the passenger seat, leaning back to rest. A breeze blew in, blowing away the smoke and dust.
Jin Man couldn't sit still, and awkwardly reached out to pull the car door: "Forget it, I'd better get out."
Xin Mihe quickly locked the car door. He steered with one hand, a smile still on his face, and said nonchalantly, "You can't get a taxi here. My brother is too tired. Let's go back and rest early."
He rolled down all four windows, letting in a whirring breeze. Jin Man didn't refuse. He held the chicken, stroking the warm fur on its back. "It's delicious!" it clucked twice, then tucked its head into his arms to protect it from the wind.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Jin Man seemed to smell a hint of Lu Yanlin’s pheromones.
But when I sniffed carefully, I smelled nothing.
When Jin Man first smelled it, he foolishly asked Lu Yanlin what it was. Lu Yanlin sat on the edge of the bed with his back to him, reading a large book. He didn't respond to Jin Man's whispers, controlling his pheromones as he controlled his emotions.
Jin buried his face in the quilt, pretending to be asleep, but his nose was sniffing slowly and deeply. His fingers climbed over his pillow little by little, landed on another pillow, and gently grasped the plain pillowcase.
There was melodious music playing on the gramophone.
He lay on his side, feeling the pheromones gradually dissipating. The smell was like the fragrance of lotus flowers swaying in the wind when he passed by a lotus pond on a midsummer night.
He listened to the croaking of frogs in the lotus pond, soaked his body in the cool stream water, and imagined the day when he would leave the village and go to high school in the county town.
Jin Man couldn't resist the tiredness and gradually fell asleep. In his dream, warm and slender fingers gently stroked his cheeks and the short hair on the back of his neck, and finally fell on his lips lovingly and pecked them lightly.
He was addicted to sleep and was in a deep sleep.
Perhaps it was because of this that I never felt such a gentle touch again on the nights that followed.
Maybe it was just a dream.
"Brother Jin Man, how old are you this year?"
"Twenty-five."
Xin Mihe uttered a cry, smiled, and said in surprise: "That's quite small. What month and date is it?"
Jin Man said: "The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar."
"Good."
Xin Mihe agreed, then smiled and said nothing. Because he was so easy to get along with and handsome, men and women in the past would take the initiative to find some topics to join in the fun, but Jin Man was the type who didn't know how to be tactful, and was stupid and dull.
He held the funny chicken in his arms, looked at the shadows passing by on the boulevard, and was busy enjoying the scenery by himself, ignoring everyone.
Xin Mihe curled her lips, glanced at Lu Yanlin who was resting with his eyes closed, and obediently drove the car into the Lu mansion.
As soon as you enter the door.
Jin Man reacted faster than either of them. He opened the car door first and jumped out: "Thank you. It's hard to bring these things with me. I'll put them with me. You guys go in first."
Xin Mihe only had time to turn around before Jin Man ran away. This was too strange. He went to look at the back seat and saw a few scallion leaves and chicken feathers scattered on the leather seat. He looked disgusted and wanted to throw away both the seat and the car.
He is a mysophobe and loves cars very much. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Yanlin could come back early to rest, he would never let a chicken get in the car.
"Your face stinks."
Lu Yanlin unbuckled his seatbelt, his expression indifferent: "You weren't the one who let him get in the car? You're so sad now."
Xin Mihe felt so wronged, but he certainly couldn't tell the truth directly. Fortunately, Lu Yanlin's next sentence made him smile: "Go to my garage and pick one for yourself."
"Really?"
Then he must have made a profit. Lu Yanlin became the head of the family early and likes to collect limited and out-of-print editions. He may not be very fond of cars, but he will order a new model when one comes out. The cars in his garage are much more valuable than Xin Mihe's.
The two of them entered the house together, and from the corridor they could hear the tinkling of a piano and the sounds of laughter.
Ms. Yan Qiong and Mrs. Xin were leaning on the sofa in the small living room, while Lu Zhi was sitting on the right playing the piano.
He is not very old and plays the piano very well, which is quite cute.
The whole room was filled with joy, and they were even happier to see Lu Yanlin return. Mrs. Xin was a dancer when she was young, and knew many people in the music industry. She happily pulled Lu Zhi and raised his little finger: "That's great, Yanlin, has Xiaozhi found a teacher?"
Ms. Yan Qiong smiled and said, "No, the child just played with it. I don't expect him to be very good. I heard from Aunt Yu that Yan Lin has been with him before. She would teach him to play when she had time."
Mrs. Xin touched Lu Zhi's head and said, "Yan Lin's piano was taught by Aunt Yan, so naturally he is very good.
But he's too busy with work and may not have time every day. Speaking of which, I happen to know the pianist Master Wen who recently returned to China. He and I were classmates. If Xiaozhi is willing, he can come and teach her for a few days. What if she likes it?
He said he was asking Lu Zhi, but his eyes were on Lu Yanlin.
When Yan Qiong was in trouble, Mrs. Xin hadn't returned to China. Although they were lively when they did, they weren't close. She had brought her son back to China specifically this time, intending to collaborate with the Lu family. But people like them only said three-tenths of what they said, leaving the rest to be understood on their own.
Lu Yanlin didn't answer immediately. He lowered his eyes to look at Lu Zhi and asked him, "Lu Zhi, do you want to learn?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Zhi. He was not in a hurry. He stepped forward, took Lu Yanlin's hand, and shook it: "Dad, I'm too stupid. Don't you want to teach me?"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
Ms. Yan Qiong was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. She was a person who protected her friends, and she could see the hidden meaning behind her friend's words. She originally thought that there was nothing wrong with agreeing, as it was a win-win cooperation.
But no matter how much she tried to convey the message, she couldn't use her grandson as a raft. What did a child know? She held Lu Zhi in her arms, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and teased him: "How could that be? Zhizhi is the smartest."
Mrs. Xin remained calm and just smiled, pinching Lu Zhi's face: "Yoyo, you're so clingy to daddy, Zhizhi, are you still a little man?"
The topic was just brought to a halt. Lu Yanlin did not express his opinion, but his meaning was very clear. He wanted them to follow the domestic procedures and the extent of their cooperation would be determined based on profit alone, without any consideration of personal feelings.
Lu Zhi burst into laughter, put his little hands around Ms. Yan Qiong's neck, kissed her, slid down from her, walked to Lu Yanlin, held his hand, but looked back, as if looking for something.
But unfortunately, nothing was found.
Lu Zhi was absent-minded. He took out a small tablet from his schoolbag and sat down to play Scrabble.
Xin Mihe wanted to go over and play with him, but was ignored without showing any emotion. He went to Lu Yanlin to complain, and found that Lu Yanlin was chatting with him but his eyes were looking out the window several times.
Jin Man carried the vegetables and chicken back to his room.
The main structure of the Lu Family Mansion consists of three small buildings. The main building is tall and spacious, where guests are usually entertained and banquets are held. The small buildings on both sides are shorter and have direct corridors.
He lived on the first floor of the small building on the right. The room was not big, but it was next to the sycamore tree, so it was very cool in the summer.
He tied the chicken under the sycamore tree, went back to the house, took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
There was a thin scar on the back of Jin Man's neck, which had already healed. He reached out and touched it, but felt nothing.
After the operation, the doctor said that as long as I take the medicine on time, there will be no problem, but I cannot have sex or undergo AO marking for a while.
Glandular hyperplasia is not a serious problem, but there is a certain probability that it will cause pheromone desensitization and the inability to perceive pheromones.
Although the probability is very small, if it really happens, few people can continue to endure such a marriage.
While undergoing the operation, Jin Man thought that if he was really so unlucky, even someone with a strong sense of responsibility and obsessive-compulsive disorder like Lu Yanlin would be able to find a good reason to divorce.
Lu Yanlin is not a very compassionate person, he always does things decisively.
