Chapter 152 Chapter 152 [Lin Yimu’s Conflict]…
He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu and knew that he was avoiding the topic, so he didn't continue talking. Just at this time, the waiter came in to serve the dishes, and the two of them ended the topic and started discussing the dishes.
After the two finished their meal, Lin Yi Mu was about to pay the bill but was told that someone had already paid. Lin Yi Mu glanced at He Xiu Ji who was sitting aside and leisurely straightening his sleeves, and said nothing but asked the waiter to leave.
After the waiter left, Lin Yimu glanced at He Xiuji's expression, sighed helplessly and said, "We agreed to treat you, how come you're the one treating me now? When will I be able to repay you?"
He Xiuji smiled gently upon hearing this, looked seriously into Lin Yimu's eyes, and said, "What's the big deal? I hope you never pay me back."
Hearing He Xiuji say these blatant words, Lin Yimu, who had already let go of what happened just now, didn't know how to respond for a moment, especially when he met He Xiuji's serious eyes, Lin Yimu didn't even dare to look him in the eye.
Seeing Lin Yimu suddenly become silent and look away, He Xiuji did not force him, but changed the subject and said, "I think it's getting late, why don't I take you back to school first? As for your dinner, we can leave it for next time."
Lin Yimu nodded silently when he heard this, and did not respond to the other party's words of "I'll talk about it next time". He just followed He Xiuji out of the restaurant without saying a word.
When they arrived at He Xiuji's car, Lin Yimu originally wanted to sit in the back seat, but was pulled directly to the passenger seat by the other party. The driver was also replaced by He Xiuji himself. The driver who originally drove the two of them was transferred away by He Xiuji at some point in time.
Lin Yimu sat silently in the passenger seat, and He Xiuji, who was concentrating on driving, did not speak either. The atmosphere between the two was silent but not awkward. It was not until the car arrived not far from the school gate that He Xiuji stopped the car and looked at the person sitting next to him.
"We're here. You've been silent all the way. Have you thought of an answer for me?" Seeing that Lin Yimu had been silent, He Xiuji didn't continue to play guessing games, but directly asked the question he wanted to know.
Lin Yimu saw the car stopped and was about to get out when he heard He Xiuji's blunt words. He stopped unbuckling his seat belt and turned around to look at He Xiuji in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly became so blunt.
After a while, Lin Yimu retracted his surprised look and said with some stammering: "You, why, why are you suddenly so..." He said bluntly.
But before Lin Yi Mu could finish his words, He Xiu Ji took over and said, "After all, you are an adult. If I don't be more straightforward, I'm afraid that you will be snatched away by someone else." He Xiu Ji looked at Lin Yi Mu with a serious look in his eyes.
"I, I haven't thought about this kind of thing, and I can't give you an answer for the moment." Lin Yimu did not avoid He Xiuji's gaze this time. Although he was very confused at the moment, he also knew that since He Xiuji asked so directly, he would definitely not give him a chance to escape.
"I just want you to know my feelings, and I hope you can think about it carefully before giving me an answer. I hope you can think of me when you have problems in the future. I also want to be in a position to help you, instead of having to call you every time something happens to you." He Xiuji said with a serious but strong expression.
Lin Yimu saw strength and determination in He Xiuji's eyes, and for a moment he panicked and quickly looked away. His heart was filled with an unfamiliar and strong feeling of throbbing, which made Lin Yimu very uncomfortable.
After a long while, Lin Yimu said in a somewhat dry voice: "I understand, I will think about it carefully." After that, without waiting for He Xiuji's reaction, he opened the door and got out of the car swiftly, and ran into the school gate without looking back.
When Lin Yi Mu returned to the dormitory, the others were busy with their own things, while Lin Yi Mu was planning to continue studying after washing up. However, he received a call from Zhang Hechang as soon as he sat down.
"Why are you calling me so late?" Lin Yimu answered the phone with some confusion.
Zhang Hechang said in a very serious voice: "It is about your campus network. After investigation by the technical department, it was indeed forced by hackers. Our technical staff tracked it all the way and finally found that the other party's IP was in China. We have caught him, and the confession we got was that he took the order on the dark web, and we don't know who is behind the scenes, so the clue is broken here." Speaking of this, Zhang Hechang sighed helplessly.
After listening to Zhang Hechang's story, Lin Yimu sighed with melancholy in his heart. His mind was in a mess. He originally wanted to read a book to calm down, but now he heard this news. It was just one thing after another.
"I understand. In the future, you don't have to tell me everything you find out, except for the useful ones. You should also make sure to get some rest." Lin Yimu said with a sad look.
Hearing that Lin Yimu was not in a good mood, Zhang Hechang raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Why, you don't seem to be in a good mood? Is there something bothering you?"
Lin Yimu just sighed when he heard this. He didn't say why he was unhappy. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this. Is there any news about the report from abroad?"
Zhang Hechang's originally good mood darkened upon hearing this. "We have been investigating, but there is still no news. After all, it is overseas. No matter how powerful we are, there will be times when we are unable to reach them."
When Lin Yimu heard this answer, he was a little disappointed. There has been really no good news recently.
Lin Yimu rubbed his face and said weakly, "I know. Take your time. It won't have much impact on me anyway."
…
After hanging up the call, Lin Yimu put down his phone and thought about his conversation with He Xiuji today again. It was impossible for him not to be moved, but if he really agreed without hesitation, he was a little worried about how they would get along in the future.
After all, he will definitely stay in the laboratory more often in the future, and He Xiuji has a company as big as the He Group to manage. The time they spend together will definitely be very little. By then, will they still have such strong feelings for each other?
Moreover, Lin Yimu thought about his parents. Would they accept his relationship with He Xiuji? After all, there are very few parents in this world who can accept that their sons like men, not to mention that they will likely face the discussions and strange looks of outsiders in the future. Will they still be able to maintain their feelings for each other at that time?
Lin Yimu had many worries in his heart, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted like He Xiuji. He was also afraid that he would not be able to stand the strange looks and comments from outsiders in the future, and would not be able to maintain his current affection and love.
Yes, that's right, Lin Yimu has actually realized his feelings. In fact, after so many meetings and interactions, Lin Yimu's curiosity about him has slowly and unconsciously turned into liking him. Although it may not be deep, he has a good impression of him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t accept every invitation.
Lin Yimu sat in front of his desk with a frown on his face, looking very sad. He didn't even have the mood to look at the book spread out on the table.
His abnormal behavior made Shi Mengyun curious. She didn't know what happened after he went out, but Lin Shen actually started to look worried.
So, Shi Mengyun, who was full of curiosity, sneaked up behind Lin Yimu and asked curiously, "God Lin, have you encountered any difficulties? Why are you so sad and sighing? Tell us and maybe we can help you think of a solution."
Lin Yimu was a little hesitant when he heard Shi Mengyun's words. He didn't know what they thought about men falling in love with each other, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
When Wang Yi and Jiang Zan heard Shi Mengyun's question, they turned to look in the direction of Lin Yimu with curiosity and confusion.
Lin Yimu thought for a long time with a conflicted look on his face, but in the end he was still a little undecided. Although he lived to the age of 26 in his previous life, he didn't have the energy to think about these things because of the changes in his family, especially since he had been busy struggling in the entertainment industry, so strictly speaking, he still had no experience in love.
Seeing Lin Yi Mu sitting there, feeling conflicted but not saying anything, Wang Yi and the other two became even more curious. They had lived together for so long but had never seen Lin Yi Mu so conflicted. Even when he encountered difficulties in his research project, he never showed this expression.
"Tell me quickly, what's the matter? How could God Lin, who could remain calm even in the face of mathematical conjectures, be so conflicted?" Wang Yi looked at Lin Yimu's expression and even lost interest in the game he was playing. He quickly came over with a gossipy look on his face.
Lin Yimu looked at the two faces that came close to him, as well as Jiang Zan who didn't come close but was looking at him curiously. He rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "That's enough, you two. When did you become so gossipy?"
Shi Mengyun and the other two just laughed and said nothing when they heard this. They still looked at Lin Yimu with a curious look in their eyes, waiting for his answer.
Lin Yimu looked at the three people who would not give up until they got an answer, and after thinking for a while he felt that he was very confused and could not figure it out for a while, so it would be nice if someone could help him with some advice. So he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but then he remembered that he didn't know what the three people thought about a man liking another man, and he hesitated for a moment.
Thinking about all these things in his mind, Lin Yimu fell silent again, but seeing the eager looks of the three people, he decided to give it a try.
"What do you think about men liking other men?" Lin Yimu looked at the three of them and asked dryly.
