Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Yue Wei is going back to the army, let’s go…
Yue Wei was going back to the army. Before leaving, he asked for Jin Man's number. Zhou Yu went to buy him some food, leaving him and Jin Man standing alone on the roadside.
Jin Man was a little uneasy because of Xu Wen's matter. Suddenly, he felt an itch on his cheek. He turned around and found Yue Wei staring at him with a predatory look.
After their eyes met, he looked a little stunned, but quickly calmed down, as if it was just an illusion.
"Will you answer my call?"
Jin Man hadn't experienced much ambiguity, so when he heard this, he was just surprised and said, "Can you use cell phones in the army?"
Yue Wei smiled and said: "You can use it during your rest time. I'm special."
Jin Man nodded: "Then you should call your family too. They finally have a break."
The topic went off to a random place, and it wasn't that Jin Man didn't understand, he just pretended not to understand. Having been with Lu Yanlin for a long time, he was very experienced in fooling people with this kind of ambiguous conversation.
Yue Wei sighed: "Jin Man, I wanted to beat you."
This direct remark stunned Jin Man. He knew that Yue Wei seemed to be interested in him, but it was not obvious, so he rejected her casually, not wanting to embarrass everyone.
Yue Wei said it directly, which made him at a loss as to what to say. He was a little afraid to look at Yue Wei, but he could feel that his gaze lingered on him for a long time.
He couldn't understand Yue Wei's thoughts, and felt that there was nothing about him that was worthy of others' love.
"I'm not an Omega."
Yue Wei blinked his eyelashes, which looked like small brushes. "Of course I know. I never thought of you as an omega."
Words can be said in a roundabout and clever way, but when dealing with people, the most important thing is to leave some room and not to be confrontational all the time.
Yue Wei could see that Jin Man was a very soft-hearted person, and he planned to turn the steel into something soft as silk.
But Jin Man was silent for a while, and said seriously: "I don't have any sexual fantasies about Alpha."
This is what blocks the road.
Yue Wei's eyes suddenly turned cold. He licked his teeth, said nothing, and looked at Jin Man's white neck.
I guessed wrong, the lamb had no intention of being soft-hearted towards him.
Zhou Yu happened to come back, carrying a bag of food and pushing it to him, giving him some instructions.
Yue Wei took two steps with the bag and then stopped. He paused for a while, then lifted his feet and walked away like a gust of wind.
Jin Man breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Yu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, said: "Someone is going to cry."
Jin Man asked, "Who is it?"
Zhou Yu just smiled in a sly way and said nothing. He put his arm around Jin Man's shoulder and said, "Come on, help me with the work."
He helps people transport goods in his car, and there are a lot of trivial tasks. It's easy to handle on the road, but he has to deal with the owners of the goods with great difficulty.
But one time when he took Jin Man out, he found that this guy was very steady in dealing with people and could deal with all kinds of people. Zhou Yu changed his mind. He originally thought it was a dying dodder, but unexpectedly it was a camellia that was both beautiful and edible.
Jin Manze felt that those bosses and migrant workers were much easier to deal with than the rich Omega ladies.
When I was working outside, the friends I met talked a lot about using sports cars to transport goods.
He has a good memory and told Zhou Yu everything he could in advance to help him.
Zhou Yu thought he was amazing.
But Jin Man felt that those were just trivial matters, and he didn't like arguing with others. It was all learned through practice.
Zhou Yu said: "I have to go to the neighboring city this time, which will probably take several days. Regarding your Jin Buhuan's kindergarten enrollment, we can talk about it after I come back."
Jin Man didn't want to trouble Zhou Yu, so he didn't agree immediately. It was okay for everyone to help each other normally, but when they really encountered something that required a favor, he would be much more cautious and used to finding a solution on his own.
This is how we have been doing for the past twenty years.
Jin Man changed the subject and frowned to remind him: "Brother, you watched carefully when loading the goods."
The last time Zhou met a friend, he said he was hauling "light and bulky goods", but when he loaded them onto the truck, they turned out to be solid metal parts, so he had to bear the overweight fine himself.
Jin Man still felt angry when he thought about it. How could Zhou Yu, such a good person, have such bad friends?
Of course Zhou Yu knew what Jin Man was talking about. He nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, and his biceps twitched, obviously thinking of something unhappy.
While he was transporting the goods, Jin Man drove home in a second-hand Wuling.
Halfway through the journey, Jin Man's cell phone kept ringing. He stopped the car on the side of the road and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. His heart sank and he had a premonition.
He looked out the window, picked up the phone, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yanlin?"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard, followed by the Omega's low and cold voice: "Full."
Jin Man exhaled: "What do you want?"
Sometimes he didn't want to think badly of people, but after being with Lu Yanlin for so long, he no longer took his good luck for granted.
Lu Yanlin's voice was very soft. He was always well-mannered, calm and elegant. Even if he lost control, it was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, leaving no trace.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Stop talking nonsense. We are not in a relationship where we can have small talk."
Lu Yanlin's breathing became heavier, but his tone remained steady. He said gently, "Okay, don't get excited. I just want to know if you're feeling better."
Jin Man couldn't help but think of that indifferent face, and for a moment he felt a little angry, but when he spoke, he made his point very clear: "What was your purpose in helping Xu Wen?"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. After a while, there seemed to be the sound of a window opening: "Yes, I helped him."
Jin Man said fiercely: "So, what do you want?"
He said this in a strong way, but it sounded sad.
The lighter clicked, and the air suddenly became quiet, the noise of the electricity becoming the rustling sound of a record.
The voice grew colder, with a hint of chill in every word: "My lawyer has already informed him. I don't need to tell you."
Jin Man seemed to hear hidden anger in that soft voice.
He thought it was ridiculous and said coldly, "Don't judge others by your own standards. No one told me that. I just guessed it myself."
Jin Man gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white from the force. Luck can sometimes be a trap. He had learned his lesson too deeply, so he didn't believe in good things falling from the sky.
Lu Yanlin's voice was no longer cold and clear, but rather deep: "I didn't intend to use this to do anything. You've already warned me, and I know my limits."
It has been guessed, maybe there is, but I can’t say.
Jin Man was speechless after hearing these words. He was full of thorns and even predicted it in advance, saying some very unpleasant things. But the suspect proved his innocence. He pursed his lips, his head a mess, and said stiffly: "Okay, since you said it's nothing, I'm hanging up."
Lu Yanlin quickly said: "Wait a minute."
There seemed to be a child's voice in the background, but after Lu Yanlin said something, the voice disappeared.
Jin Man breathed a sigh of relief. If he had heard Lu Zhi's voice just now, it would have been difficult for him to be rational. He probably wouldn't feel soft-hearted, but angry instead, and might even say even more unpleasant words to Lu Yanlin.
Jin Man didn't want to involve the child in their matter.
Besides, he didn't know what he could say to Lu Zhi.
Lu Yanlin's voice floated out from the microphone, and the sound of dripping rain was faint.
"Manman, I want to talk to you about Xiaozhi. He's been very well behaved lately, taking injections and medicine. Although he's lost a little weight, he's much better than before. I know you don't want to see me, so could you please meet Xiaozhi? It won't take you too long, or it's really inconvenient. The location and method are up to you."
Jin Man's expression gradually turned colder. He didn't know he could be so calm.
"It's none of my business. The visitation rights stipulated by law are one thing, and whether they are enforced or not is another. If he is fine now, I don't think it's a good idea to meet him."
This statement was powerful. According to Lu Yanlin's habit, when the negotiation reached a point where there was no room for maneuver, it was time for him to show his cards.
But Lu Yanlin did not respond. A slight sobbing sound came from the other end of the phone, and then quickly disappeared.
Lu Yanlin didn't seem to expect that Jin Man would say such a thing.
Jin Man's scalp was numb: "Aren't you alone?"
Lu Yanlin said after a while: "I'm sorry, Xiaozhi was here just now. He promised me that he would be good. He just wanted to hear your voice."
This time, the two adults tacitly kept silent. Jin Man didn't know what to say. He was angry at himself for speaking without thinking, but he really had nothing to say to Lu Yanlin.
Lu Yanlin's voice was serious, as if he had made a decision. "I don't want to embarrass you, but please meet with Xiaozhi no matter what. I can't prove with words that you don't hate him. If you think I'll threaten you with Xu Wen's matter, then I can do so."
Jin Man did not refute this time, but at the same time, he felt a tightness in his chest and was extremely annoyed.
"What if I must not see you?"
Lu Yanlin said, "Then consider it my threat. For the sake of your friend, I won't get involved in the meeting, nor will I cause you any trouble. You decide the specific time, but it must be no less than ten minutes. Afterward, I'll take him away."
Jin Man pursed his lips and said after a while: "Okay."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, very measured and gentle: "Goodbye, then."
No unnecessary entanglements and no endless chatter.
The phone was hung up.
Jin Manfa was stunned for a while, then drove his Wuling home with an expressionless face.
He was a little depressed, and as soon as he arrived in the village, he saw Jin Duoduo fighting with some children, and he was very brutal.
Jin Man hurried over and picked up the child, his face a little dark: "Jin Duoduo!"
When the other children saw their parents coming, they ran away, leaving Jin Duoduo alone to be dealt with.
“Full!”
Jin Duoduo looked like a little mud monkey with a cat-like face, rubbing his trouser leg flatteringly: "You're back."
Jin Man squatted down: "Do you like fighting?"
Jin Duoduo snapped his fingers in silence, shook his head, nodded, and muttered: "They beat me too."
He obviously didn't seem convinced.
Among the children in the countryside, whoever has the biggest sandbag will be the leader of the village.
Jin Man walked home without saying a word, took out a lock from the small cupboard and locked the big wardrobe. Inside were small snacks bought for Jin Duoduo, which made him so anxious that he kept calling "Manman" and "Maomao".
However, there are no snacks.
After a while, the child came back sadly, rubbed his legs, and searched his shoulders, sighing and mumbling: "Then give it all to Manman."
Jin Man was amused: "You don't even want to eat."
Jin Duoduo shook his head and said shyly: "I won't eat anymore... and I won't fight anymore."
Jin Man had never met such an easy-to-teach child before, and was a little stunned.
The child has already made up his mind to play with the puppy.
Forget it, why should he bother competing with a child?
For some reason, Jin Man suddenly felt more cheerful. He sent a message to Lu Yanlin, made an appointment to meet, and then put the matter behind him.
Jin Man was very busy. He had to help Zhou Yu connect with the cargo owners, and he also had to help with the delivery and find a kindergarten. It was too much and tiring. He would fall asleep as soon as he finished his day. He ate a lot and slept well, and his complexion actually improved.
Because I wasn't paying attention, I didn't pay attention to the time.
On the day they agreed to meet, Jin Man took Jin Duoduo to the fields to reminisce about the good and bad times and spent the whole morning planting cucumbers.
He came back happily, carrying the vegetables he had picked and holding the child's hand. The puppy had grown a little, and its tail had turned into a propeller, running around excitedly.
He and Jin Duoduo each bit half a cucumber and walked behind in their slippers, making a clattering sound.
When the child saw the young master and his ex-husband waiting at the door, he stopped first, followed by Jin Man.
The two men were dressed in suits and ties, which looked out of place with the wild beans at the door.
Lu Zhi almost dropped the cake in his hand. He looked at Lu Yanlin and gritted his teeth: "You lied to me!"
Lu Yanlin's usually calm expression also fluctuated. The young master suddenly burst into tears, dropped the cake and ran towards him, tears streaming down his face: "Dad."
Jin Man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously dodged to the side. His mind was in a mess, and his mouth spoke faster than his brain: "Don't be so polite, just call me uncle."
The child spoke righteously, opened his arms, and blocked the young master: "Hey, who are you?"
