Chapter 175 Lying Drama
The snow stopped when the dawn began to break.
The buildings were covered with a thick layer of snow. The sunlight shone through the white snow, illuminating the whole world and making it bright and dazzling.
The heat on the top floor automatically stopped and then started again, repeating the cycle, stabilizing the temperature at a lukewarm 28°C.
The sunlight reflected from the rooftop dazzled Luo Qinglin's eyes. He frowned and squinted his eyes slightly to block out the light.
Staying up late made his throat sore and hoarse. Luo Qinglin felt drowsy and couldn't hold on any longer. Halfway through, he seemed to be extremely sleepy and fell asleep with drooping eyelids. He slept for less than a minute before being awakened again.
"It's dawn, brother, I want to sleep." Luo Qinglin said.
"I know. Can you sleep later?" Jiang Yanyu gently touched his face and said in a soft voice, "Have breakfast later and then sleep. Otherwise, you will get sick."
After hearing this sentence several times, Luo Qinglin lost his patience, frowned, and couldn't help but get angry.
"When can I go to bed? I'm so sleepy!"
As he spoke, Luo Qinglin's eyes turned red. His eyes hurt from staying up late, and he couldn't stop the tears from flowing out, sliding down the corners of his eyes to the sides of his face.
Jiang Yanyu gently wiped away the tears on Luo Qinglin's cheeks and coaxed him softly, "When breakfast is served, we will go downstairs to have breakfast and then go to bed, okay?"
"Really?" Luo Qinglin asked with tears in his eyes.
"Really, don't sleep now. Eat breakfast first, then go to bed, otherwise you will get sick." Jiang Yanyu coaxed.
Luo Qinglin stared at Jiang Yanyu with red eyes, believing his words for the last time, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep later."
An hour later, the doorbell rang and breakfast was delivered on time.
Hearing the ringing, Luo Qinglin's eyes, which had been dazed due to staying up late, suddenly brightened up, and he patted Jiang Yanyu's back hastily, "Breakfast is here, let me go downstairs to have breakfast!"
"Okay." Jiang Yanyu kissed his forehead and carried him downstairs.
His arms were too weak to hold onto Jiang Yanyu, and he kept sliding down. Jiang Yanyu had to help hold him up, and the two of them were able to walk to the next floor without Luo Qinglin falling down the stairs.
The stairs were bumpy when going down, and Luo Qinglin thought Jiang Yanyu was walking too slowly, so he wanted to walk down by himself. Jiang Yanyu refused, saying that he was afraid that if he walked alone, he would fall down the stairs and get into danger.
After finally sitting down at the dining table, Jiang Yanyu was afraid that Luo Qinglin's hands would hurt, so he hugged him from behind, holding him with his left arm and feeding him breakfast bit by bit with his right hand.
Jiang Yanyu specially ordered vegetable spring rolls and scrambled egg beef porridge, blew them cool carefully, and fed them little by little.
Luo Qinglin ate slowly, chewing his food carefully. While eating, he became dazed and forgot to chew. His eyelids drooped, but he was soon awakened.
"Be good, don't sleep. Go to bed after breakfast." Jiang Yanyu coaxed.
Hearing Jiang Yanyu's coaxing voice, Luo Qinglin suddenly opened his eyes, unable to hold back any longer, and finally got angry, "I want to sleep, I want to sleep now!"
Jiang Yanyu remained indifferent and continued to feed him porridge, but Luo Qinglin just stared at him and refused to eat.
His eyes were dry from staring, but it was still useless, so Luo Qinglin pretended to be sick, sobbing softly with tears, "Brother, the wind on the roof is too strong, I seem to have caught a cold, and I have a fever. I don't want to eat breakfast, I want to sleep."
Jiang Yanyu kissed Luo Qinglin on the forehead. The forehead and lips were the same temperature, or even lower.
"You lied to me. You obviously don't have a fever," Jiang Yanyu said with a gentle smile on his face, "Be good, eat breakfast before going to bed, otherwise you will really get sick."
"I'm stuffed!"
"Be good, have another mouthful of porridge, okay?"
“I’m really full.”
"Luo Qinglin, if you lose weight again, you know the consequences."
......
I ate my breakfast slowly, which took me nearly an hour.
When Luo Qinglin lay on the bed, leaning his back against the soft mattress, he was so sleepy that he fell into a deep sleep before Jiang Yanyu covered him with the quilt.
The sunlight shone through the glass into the window, which was a bit dazzling. Luo Qinglin frowned and slept uneasily. Jiang Yanyu adjusted the brightness and turned the glass back into a black mirror to lock the sunlight out.
Luo Qinglin's brows relaxed. Jiang Yanyu gently kissed his forehead. Instead of sleeping with him, he went to the study.
Normally, because of the time difference, I would start working at midnight in China. Now that I’m in London, I naturally have to work during the day.
It is not easy to be an excellent "hands-off boss". You can usually not take care of things and not ask about specific plans, but you must be sharp and find danger signals from the financial statements in time, replace the termites, and keep the company running.
When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Yanyu finished reviewing the backlog of reports from the past few days in a few hours, and then communicated with Jiang Su to discuss how to divide the Jing family's assets. Luo Qinglin was still asleep.
Jiang Yanyu was born with a lack of sleep. Even when he slept next to Luo Qinglin, he could only fall into a shallow sleep and would wake up after two hours of sleep.
Although he only slept for two hours, Jiang Yanyu felt like he had slept for eight hours. He felt safe and energetic. It was much better than before when he could only sleep by watching Luo Qinglin's videos.
The mental excitement lasted from yesterday until noon. After finishing his work, Jiang Yanyu did not go back to sleep with Luo Qinglin, but went to the projection room to tidy up the DVDs in the drawer.
The DVDs are arranged in chronological order, from when Luo Qinglin was 18 to 25 years old, one per month.
Jiang Yanyu has backups, stored on hard drives and in the cloud, but he still burned these videos one by one onto DVDs as tangible souvenirs.
Jiang Yanyu picked up all the DVDs from the years between 18 and 24, put them in a box and locked it. Then he scattered the DVDs from the year he turned 25, pulled out the one at the front, and started playing it.
Jiang Yanyu sat on a blanket, leaning against the sofa, with the corners of her mouth curled up, watching Luo Qinglin taking pictures of her in the show.
The shooting angle was not very good, the mirror was shaking, and the field of vision was narrow, so Luo Qinglin's face was blurred and only a pair of innocent peach blossom eyes could be seen.
Luo Qinglin actually said that she liked his eyes.
Jiang Yanyu thought, his eyes were not beautiful, and he looked like a cunning bad guy. Luo Qinglin’s eyes were more beautiful, and he looked like a good baby who would cry if bullied.
However, why didn't he realize that Luo Qinglin was filming him before? If he had discovered it earlier, he wouldn't have to act out the gay scene with Luo Qinglin for so long.
The images on the screen played in a loop, showing Luo Qinglin's profile for several hours.
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. These videos were once good medicine and treasures to Jiang Yanyu. But now compared with the pictures taken by Yu Qin, they seem less precious.
As soon as Yu Qin officially joined the company, he asked Yu Qin to shoot for 12 hours.
Jiang Yanyu's eyes lit up, and he became excited again, staring at Luo Qinglin on the screen.
Snap!
Not long after, there was a sound of something falling from the left.
Jiang Yanyu heard the voice and looked over. Luo Qinglin was standing at the door, staring blankly at himself on the screen. The glass fell at his feet, and the water in the glass spilled onto the floor.
"Are you awake? Come here." Jiang Yanyu waved his hand and called someone over.
Luo Qinglin stood still, so Jiang Yanyu stood up, pulled him in front of him, and sat him in his arms.
"Isn't it cute? You were so serious at that time, I saw you on the stage at first sight." Jiang Yanyu talked nonsense and continued to make up the lies he had made before.
"You started from this time..." Luo Qinglin was a little flustered.
"After I went back, I couldn't forget you, so I asked someone to help me take some videos." Luo Qinglin looked flustered. Jiang Yanyu asked unhappily, "Do you mind?"
"No, I don't mind." Luo Qinglin replied.
What made Luo Qinglin nervous was not that Jiang Yanyu hired someone to secretly take photos of him, but whether he would reveal his secret love for Jiang Yanyu in these photos.
Luo Qinglin stared at himself on the screen, afraid that when he saw Jiang Yanyu appear, he would put down the camera and stare at the scene on the stage in a daze.
His memory was confused and Luo Qinglin couldn't remember what his expression was or what actions he took at that time.
Fortunately, when Jiang Yanyu appeared, he just pressed the shutter a few more times and did not make any strange expression. Luo Qinglin then breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Jiang Yanyu pretended to be looking at the screen, but in fact he glanced at Luo Qinglin out of the corner of his eye, noticing the changes in his expression.
"Why do you have to press the shutter so many times when I appear? Could it be..." Jiang Yanyu smiled and asked deliberately.
Luo Qinglin had a blank expression on his face, the same expression he had when he pretended to be a straight man, and he looked serious, but now, Jiang Yanyu knew that he was nervous and panicked.
"Were you attracted to me at that time and thought I was the most beautiful model in the show?" Jiang Yanyu said with a smile.
After hearing what Jiang Yanyu said, Luo Qinglin's emotions were in turmoil. He secretly shifted his gaze to observe Jiang Yanyu's attitude.
Jiang Yanyu smiled cunningly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Luo Qinglin coughed lightly, pretending to have no recollection, frowned and said: "Well... maybe, I forgot what I was thinking at the time. There were so many models in the show, how could I remember."
"Really?" Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows and continued watching the video. "It seems that I am insignificant to you."
Unable to delve further into this topic, Luo Qinglin quickly changed the subject, "By the way, why do you want to be a model?"
In fact, Jiang Yanyu became a model just on impulse.
After knowing that Luo Qinglin was going to be a formal photographer and would be dealing with countless models, Jiang Yanyu became quite jealous. Every time she saw Luo Qinglin taking pictures of others, she couldn't help but imagine what it would look like when he took pictures of herself.
Jealousy grew day by day, overflowing and finally erupting.
Jiang Yanyu thought that if he wanted to be a model, he had to be the one who attracted Luo Qinglin's attention the most. Being a small print model was nothing. He had to appear frequently on Luo Qinglin's social media and appear in the most glamorous and beautiful appearance.
Therefore, the second thing Jiang Yanyu did after her debut as a model was to have people constantly push news about her to Luo Qinglin.
If technology allows, Jiang Yanyu even wants to change the label of Luo Qinglin's account and artificially change all the messages Luo Qinglin sees to his own.
At that time, he was too paranoid and wished that Luo Qinglin could see him every day. All he saw was news about him. However, he was able to stop himself from going crazy because of Mayfield and did not go to China to capture Luo Qinglin.
If he had known that Luo Qinglin already liked him, why would he have done all those messy things? He could have eaten Luo Qinglin long ago, and there would be no need to act with him and set up so many scenes to seduce him.
Jiang Yanyu smiled and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "I almost forgot, when did you realize that you liked me?"
Luo Qinglin has learned his lesson now. When facing Jiang Yanyu, he cannot say anything absolute and has to be ambiguous.
"I... maybe it was the first sight, I don't know," Luo Qinglin brought out his 'feeling' theory, "Maybe I was moved and had feelings at that time, but I just couldn't figure out my sexual orientation."
This is all true, but the timeline is not this year, but seven years ago.
"So that's how it is," Jiang Yanyu smiled incomprehensibly and asked deliberately, "So you were attracted to me so early? Then what was I wearing when we first met?"
Luo Qinglin became alert, extracted the picture from the chaotic memories, and answered cautiously: "You, you are not wearing a shirt, only a pair of beach pants."
"You really liked me at first sight..." Jiang Yanyu kissed Luo Qinglin's hair and said with a smile, "It seems that it took you several months to accept your sexual orientation?"
"Ah... um." Luo Qinglin lied, making excuses for himself, "I've never liked anyone before, it's a bit confusing haha."
Before this they were acting out the gay drama, and now they are acting out this kind of lying drama.
Jiang Yanyu gave a helpless smile, hugged Luo Qinglin, and continued to watch the screen carefully.
At the end of the broadcast, the picture was still shaking and could not be seen clearly.
Luo Qinglin's eyes were blurry and he asked, "Can we change to something else? This one hurts my eyes."
Jiang Yanyu loosened his arm, pointed to the drawer where the DVDs were kept, and let him choose by himself.
Luo Qinglin stood up, walked to the drawer and opened it. Inside were all DVDs with dates marked on them.
He picked one up at random, and it said 24-9 on the cover. Luo Qinglin didn't know what it meant until he appeared on the screen. Then he realized that 24-9 meant the 9th month when Luo Qinglin was 24 years old.
The picture was still shaking, which hurt his eyes, so Luo Qinglin quickly changed to the latest DVD.
26-2, the second month of Luo Qinglin’s 26th birthday, was this month. When he looked inside, he saw that it was indeed the footage that Yu Qin had taken of them on Qianyu Island.
"Is your DVD updated in real time?" Luo Qinglin widened his eyes slightly.
Jiang Yanyu nodded and waved to Luo Qinglin, asking him to come back and sit in his arms.
Luo Qinglin walked back and sat down. "I thought these pictures were going to be played in "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter"..."
"Only a part of it will be broadcast. The scenes of you wearing a skirt, acting coquettishly to me, and calling me 'brother' will not be broadcast." Jiang Yanyu said.
What other footage can be broadcast?
Luo Qinglin felt that he was acting like a spoiled child by calling him "brother" every moment, which was unbearable to look back on, and he felt embarrassed whenever he recalled it.
Looking at the picture, my eyelids became heavier.
Although he stayed up all night yesterday, Luo Qinglin didn't feel unwell. After all, he had been doing anaerobic exercise every day for more than a month, which had increased his muscle mass and flexibility, and he was in good health.
The only problem was sleepiness. After a few hours of sleep, Luo Qinglin was still sleepy.
"Are you sleepy again?" Jiang Yanyu fell down with the person in his arms, half lying on the carpet, patting Luo Qinglin's back, preparing to coax him to sleep.
Luo Qinglin yawned, and Jiang Yanyu wiped away his tears before they slid down.
"This won't work. You can't do this again in the future." Luo Qinglin said vaguely.
Jiang Yanyu agreed easily, but in fact he was not determined to abide by it. He restlessly covered Mi Tao, "Okay, from now on, as long as you say it's over, I will definitely end it on time."
This is what the vixen says, but her actions are exactly the opposite.
Noticing something was wrong, Luo Qinglin gently broke free from the embrace, looked down, and indeed found something unusual.
"You..." Luo Qinglin panicked and felt a dull pain. "No! Absolutely not!"
Jiang Yanyu shrugged and put the blame on Luo Qinglin, "Because you are so cute, I can't help it..."
Luo Qinglin glared at him and wanted to stand up and go back to the bedroom, away from Jiang Yanyu, to let him calm down on his own. Jiang Yanyu would not let anyone escape. He grabbed Luo Qinglin's wrist and pulled him back.
"Don't worry, I'm not a beast," Jiang Yanyu patted Luo Qinglin on the back and comforted him, "I promise I won't do anything, okay?"
Since yesterday, Jiang Yanyu's guarantee has collapsed and his credibility in Luo Qinglin's eyes is zero.
Luo Qinglin crossed his arms and stared at the abnormal situation, wondering when Jiang Yanyu would calm down. But after waiting for more than ten minutes, even though his sleepiness was gone, he still couldn't calm down.
"You, what's going on?!"
"I've already told you that it's because you're so cute that this happens," Jiang Yanyu smiled, his evil intentions revealed, "But I have a good idea..."
"What method?" Luo Qinglin looked alert.
Jiang Yanyu put his hand on Luo Qinglin's hair, leaned closer and said, "Did you forget, BB? You should pay the price."
