Chapter 153 Chapter 153 [Lin Yimu's decision]...
"W-what?!" Wang Yi and the other two shouted in shock when they heard Lin Yimu's question.
Then Shi Mengyun carefully observed Lin Yimu's expression and asked in a somewhat tangled manner: "You ask this, aren't you asking this because you like a man?"
After asking this question, Shi Mengyun carefully observed Lin Yimu's expression. Wang Yi and the others also glanced at Lin Yimu.
It’s not that they have any opinions on homosexuality, but they really can’t imagine that Lin Yi Mu would be entangled in emotional issues and even ask them about their emotional issues because of this.
Lin Yimu looked at the reactions of the three people and thought that they were disgusted by homosexuality. He closed his mouth with a rather unhappy look on his face and did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head silently and shifted his gaze back to the book in front of him.
Wang Yi looked at Lin Yimu and thought he was embarrassed. Only the careful Shi Mengyun and Jiang Zan realized that Lin Yimu might have misunderstood because of their lack of response. They quickly winked at Wang Yi and said, "I don't have any opinion on this kind of thing. As long as it's someone you like, it doesn't matter whether the other person is a man or a woman, as long as they haven't done anything that is against the will of heaven or hurt others, you can pursue them with all your efforts."
Hearing Jiang Zan's words, Lin Yimu paused for a moment while turning the pages of the book. Shi Mengyun also knew that her behavior just now was a bit misunderstood, and immediately said anxiously: "God Lin, don't get me wrong. I just asked that because I was a little surprised. I didn't mean anything else."
Shi Mengyun looked at Jiang Zan eagerly, wanting him to help say a few words. Seeing the two of them, Wang Yi finally reacted and said seriously, "Well, don't be upset. We just reacted because we didn't expect that a genius like you would still worry about love. So we were a little shocked. We don't have any opinions. Who you like and what gender the other person is, as long as you are happy and don't hurt others, it doesn't matter at all."
"Yes, yes, that's what I meant." Shi Mengyun suddenly became speechless and could only agree eagerly.
Looking at the three people in front of him who were eagerly explaining, his heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the valley, slowly rose again and filled with waves of joy, and he couldn't help but smile.
Lin Yimu didn't want to have any barriers with his rare good friends, so he regretted it a little after asking that question. Especially after seeing their shocked expressions, the glimmer of hope that was slowly rising in Lin Yimu's heart slowly sank.
However, now seeing them anxiously explaining, Lin Yimu's mood changed from the previous low depression to the current relaxed joy. After they finished speaking, Lin Yimu said with a smile: "Thank you, I know your attitude, I think I should put aside some concerns and think carefully about my feelings."
Seeing Lin Yimu's relaxed and smiling face, Wang Yi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Then they continued to stare at Lin Yimu with a gossipy look, wanting to know from him who the man was that made him so entangled.
However, Lin Yimu's mind flashed through He Xiuji's cold yet strong face, especially the not-so-beautiful confession in the car today. Lin Yimu could not deny that he felt a little happy in his heart, and this joy inevitably made him smile.
Wang Yi and the other two were originally staring at Lin Yimu, waiting for an answer, but then they saw that Lin Yimu, who had a normal expression on his face, suddenly smiled, which surprised them even more.
However, when it was time to rest, Lin Yimu did not tell them who the other party was. The atmosphere around him was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning, but became relaxed and joyful again.
Time passed unknowingly and it was already late May. More than half of the second semester of the freshman year had already passed. Lin Yimu spent most of this semester in the School of Chemistry and the laboratory. Lin Yimu's drug thesis was finally completed as expected, but it was only about theory. There was still a long way to go to fully research the drug for clinical trials.
In the past two or three months, Lin Yi Mu has been busy with his thesis and has not met He Xiu Ji again. Even when the other party called him to invite him to dinner, Lin Yi Mu refused on the grounds of being busy.
In fact, the reason why Lin Yi Mu rejected He Xiu Ji's invitation, besides being very busy with his own experiments, was that Lin Yi Mu still hadn't figured out how to face He Xiu Ji.
Although Lin Yi Mu had been persuaded by his roommates to put aside his worries and think about his feelings for He Xiu Ji, and although after a period of reflection, Lin Yi Mu was sure that he really liked He Xiu Ji, his feelings were not that deep. He was even not sure whether he was just attracted to her by her beauty or something else.
So Lin Yimu wanted the two of them to stay away from each other and calm down for a while. If he still had feelings for He Xiuji when they met again, then he would agree to be with him.
After Lin Yi Mu had considered this decision carefully, he explained it to He Xiu Ji. Although He Xiu Ji disagreed with it, he didn't want Lin Yi Mu to have any grudge against him because of it, so he agreed after thinking about it.
But after agreeing, He Xiuji did not intend to just honestly not meet Lin Yimu. Even if they didn't meet, didn't he still have his nephew?
Thinking of this, He Xiuji just continued to chat with Lin Yimu for a few more words, and hung up the phone without saying anything.
But after that, except when Lin Yimu was busy with classes and experiments, Yuan Mingxu would appear by his side from time to time. He would also mention He Xiuji when they chatted occasionally, so that even though He Xiuji was not there, he would appear in Lin Yimu's ears from time to time.
So now, two or three months have passed, and although Lin Yimu has not seen He Xiuji, he still thinks of this person from time to time. Although the feeling in his heart is not as strong as it was a few months ago, it still exists faintly.
So on this day, when Lin Yimu came out from a busy day in the laboratory and was about to go for dinner, he received a call from He Xiuji.
After the call was connected, Lin Yimu and He Xiuji were silent for a while, and then He Xiuji spoke first, "We haven't been in touch for more than two to three months. Have you thought about it now?"
When Lin Yimu heard He Xiuji's direct question, his originally calm and peaceful heart began to beat a little when he heard Yuan Mingxu's occasional mention of the other party.
Feeling the slight but unignorable throbbing in his heart, Lin Yimu's eyes darkened and he made up his mind. Since he could still be moved by the other person's words after not seeing each other for such a long time, then it was not impossible for them to give it a try.
"We haven't contacted each other for such a long time. Do you think I will agree to you just by asking you one question? Is it so casual?" Lin Yimu said with a smile.
After He Xiuji asked that question, he was a little nervous because of Lin Yi Mu's silence. He thought that Lin Yi Mu would reject him again this time, so his breathing on the phone was a little heavy.
But at this moment, when he suddenly heard Lin Yimu's words, He Xiuji's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and then he laughed softly.
After laughing for a long time, He Xiuji finally stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I will prepare well next time, and I will make you agree to it by then."
After listening to He Xiuji's words, Lin Yimu's originally hesitant expression became firm, and then he said in a gentle tone: "Okay, I'll wait."
He Xiuji and Lin Yimu, who were in two different scenes, each held their mobile phones and smiled gently into the phone, which made the people around them grin with disgust.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yimu continued to walk towards the cafeteria without even looking at Yuan Mingxu who came to call him to eat, but was looking at him with disgust and gossip.
As for He Xiuji, after hanging up the phone, he looked at his friend who was looking at him with disgust and was too lazy to pay any attention to him. He directly notified his secretary to come in and arrange for the other party to prepare things.
Lin Yanghua, one of He Xiuji's few good friends, said with a surprised look on his face: "I never thought that you, He Xiuji, would be so happy about love. You are like two different people."
He Xiu Ji frowned and glanced at the man, then said in a cold voice: "Have you talked enough? What are you doing here? If you are here just to watch the fun, believe it or not, I will ask the security to drag you out?" He narrowed his eyes threateningly and reached out to make a phone call on the desk.
Hearing this, Lin Yanghua saw that He Xiuji was really going to call the security guard to get him out, so he quickly reached out and pressed the phone and said, "No, I'm certainly not here to watch the fun. This is just a coincidence."
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing here?" He Xiuji withdrew his hand and interrupted his chattering unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanghua hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit, and the two talked in the office for a long time.
As for Lin Yimu, after hanging up the phone with He Xiuji, he had a meal with Yuan Mingxu in the cafeteria in a good mood. Afterwards, regardless of Yuan Mingxu's curious look, Lin Yimu said directly: "If you want to know anything, you can ask your uncle. Aren't you his little spy? Go ask yourself."
After saying that, he didn't care about Yuan Mingxu's embarrassed expression, smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and quickly slipped away.
Don't think he doesn't know. In recent months, he has been mentioning He Xiuji in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, and has been saying good things about him from time to time.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Yimu continued his studies and thesis work, but he couldn't help but think of He Xiuji who had just called him, and the other party's heavy breathing due to nervousness, and the low, magnetic laughter when he got the answer he wanted. Lin Yimu had an expectant and happy smile on his face, and even the speed of his writing slowed down.
When Lin Yimu was distracted, his cell phone on the table rang, which brought him back to his senses. He was met with curious gazes from Wang Yi and the other two.
However, Lin Yi Mu ignored them and picked up his ringing cell phone. Looking at the first call in the past few months, he answered it with some curiosity.
