Chapter 179 Chapter 179 [After Returning to China]
After several hours of flying, the plane finally landed at Beijing International Airport.
Lin Yimu had just gotten off the plane with everyone else. Before he even walked out of the airport lobby, he saw a man with a noble temperament and unparalleled handsomeness standing at the exit from a distance.
There is no other reason, it's just because this guy is really good-looking, and his temperament is very eye-catching in the crowded airport. Everyone who passes by can't help but take a few glances at him.
There was even a girl who was standing in front of the man with a shy look on her face, holding a mobile phone in her hand and staring at the man's face boldly, while the man looked at her with indifference. It was this look that made the girl, who was so bold just now, shudder immediately and walk away without saying a word.
Lin Yimu watched the whole scene and knew that it was another girl who was not afraid of the cold face and came forward to ask He Xiuji for his contact information.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, He Xiuji's face was indeed good-looking, several times more handsome than those popular stars he had seen in the entertainment industry in his previous life.
But such a handsome man is his now.
While thinking, Lin Yimu gestured to Professor Jiang and the others. In fact, everyone noticed He Xiuji at the first time. Seeing that Lin Yimu wanted to go over, Professor Jiang did not say anything to stop him. He just said, "Since someone is here to pick you up, you can go back first. But remember to report to school tomorrow and prepare for your next research project."
"Got it, professor. Well, professor, I'll go back first, fellow students. See you tomorrow!" After Lin Yimu responded, he turned around, politely greeted the others, and walked towards where He Xiuji was standing.
He Xiuji was standing at the airport exit. When he saw Lin Yimu coming with a suitcase, the icy look on his face finally softened and he quickly walked forward to take the suitcase from Lin Yimu's hand. Then he looked up at Professor Jiang and his group not far away, nodded politely, said hello, and took Lin Yimu away first.
After getting in the car, Lin Yimu sighed tiredly, and then asked He Xiuji puzzledly how he knew about his flight problem.
He Xiuji looked at Lin Yimu's unhappy expression and knew that he must be tired after sitting on the plane for several hours. He also heard his stomach growling just now, so he must not have eaten on the plane.
He did not raise the issue any further, but said, "Let's not talk about this for now. You must be hungry and tired after sitting on the plane for the whole morning. It's almost two o'clock now. You can rest in the car for a while. I have prepared your favorite dishes at home."
Lin Yimu was already very hungry, and his eyes lit up immediately when he heard that there was something he liked to eat.
After all, he hadn't eaten since he got on the plane in the morning. It wasn't that Professor Jiang didn't give them time to eat, but he thought the airplane food was not tasty, so he only ate two bites to fill his stomach and didn't move. The rest was all given to Fang Wenduan by Lin Yimu.
"Speaking of this, I don't feel tired anymore. Let's go home quickly. I feel so hungry that I can eat a cow." Lin Yimu said unconsciously with a cheerful tone but a little complaining.
He Xiuji listened to Lin Yimu's words with a gentle face the whole time. When he heard that he hadn't eaten breakfast, he frowned slightly and said disapprovingly: "You can't do this. Even if you don't like airplane food, you have to eat something to fill your stomach. You can't go hungry. Your stomach can't take it."
"You were reminding me to eat on time before, how come you just forgot about it?" After He Xiuji said this in disapproval, he looked at the person sitting next to him helplessly and added this sentence, his tone full of helplessness.
When Lin Yimu heard this, he secretly thought it was a bad idea. Although they were both very busy and would definitely not eat on time when they were busy, that was because they had work and they had no choice. However, this was the first time that Lin Yimu had gone hungry just because he didn't feel like it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi Mu forced a guilty smile towards He Xiu Ji and said, "Hey, stop frowning. If you keep frowning, wrinkles will appear between your brows, and you'll look older." As Lin Yi Mu spoke, he stroked He Xiu Ji's brows twice with his hand to smooth away his frown.
Then he quickly explained, "I didn't feel hungry on the plane, and I ate a few bites to fill my stomach. Don't worry, I won't let myself get hungry and feel uncomfortable."
After hearing Lin Yi Mu's answer, He Xiu Ji stopped frowning, but his expression was still serious, which made Lin Yi Mu a little uneasy. He thought He Xiu Ji was angry. Knowing that he was in the wrong this time, he planned to continue to coax him.
But before Lin Yimu could figure out how to coax him, He Xiuji suddenly said something that left him a little unprepared.
"I'm not old, and I'm only 26 years old this year, only eight years older than you." He Xiuji turned his head and looked at Lin Yimu and said seriously.
"ah?"
Lin Yimu was really confused by He Xiuji's incoherent words. For a moment, his mind was still stuck on how to coax the other party.
Seeing that Lin Yimu didn't react, He Xiuji reiterated seriously: "Xiaomu, I don't look old, and I'm only 28. You have seen my ID card before." When he said the last sentence, a rare trace of grievance appeared on He Xiuji's cold face.
It was not until this time that Lin Yi Mu realized what He Xiu Ji was saying. Looking at the other's handsome face which had no expression but revealed a sense of grievance, Lin Yi Mu could not help but reach out and rub it, feeling a little amused.
While rubbing the other person's face, he couldn't stop laughing: "So that's what you were thinking about!"
"Xiao Mu." Looking at the person who was laughing heartlessly, the aggrieved expression on He Xiu Ji's face turned into helplessness. He reached out and held the hand that was messing with his face in his palm.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. I just didn't expect you to care about this." As he said that, Lin Yimu pulled back his hand, pulled down the rearview mirror in front of the car, and said to He Xiuji's face: "Look, this face in the mirror doesn't look old at all. If you didn't have a stern face and wear a formal suit all day, I would probably say you are a college student. How could I think you are old!"
After hearing the explanation, He Xiuji was still a little unsure, but he didn't dwell on it. He was confident that even if he was a few years older than Lin Yimu, there wouldn't be any generation gap between them. Not to mention that, as Lin Yimu said, there wasn't a big age difference between them, and there wasn't any difference in appearance.
The two of them walked all the way back home. As soon as Lin Yimu entered the door, he smelled a faint aroma of food. He quickly took a few steps to the dining room and saw neatly arranged tableware on the dining table.
He Xiuji walked in slowly behind Lin Yimu. Seeing that he looked very anxious, he found it a bit funny that he held Lin Yimu's suitcase with one hand and took his hand with the other to walk him to the bathroom.
"Don't worry, the food is not going to run away. The most important thing for you now is to take a shower and relax. You can eat when you come out."
Lin Yimu was not shy after being laughed at. Instead, he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are right. My Mr. He is virtuous. I am so lucky to be your partner!"
He Xiuji was not angry even though he was teased. He pushed Lin Yimu into the bathroom with a serious look and said, "Yes, so, my boyfriend, why don't you take a shower and enjoy yourself."
Lin Yi Mu was obediently pushed into the bathroom by He Xiu Ji to take a shower. After He Xiu Ji got clothes for Lin Yi Mu, he turned to the kitchen to bring out the food that was warm in the pot and placed it on the dining table.
When Lin Yimu came out of the shower, He Xiuji had already sorted out the clothes in Lin Yimu's suitcase.
The two of them had a warm late lunch. He Xiuji originally wanted to accompany Lin Yimu for a while in the afternoon, but as the president of a large group, it was already very good for him to spare a whole morning. After having a meal with Lin Yimu, he had to be called back to the company by his subordinates.
After He Xiuji left, Lin Yimu took another nap at home. When he woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the dim afterglow of the sunset outside, Lin Yimu vaguely remembered that he had not watched the sunrise and sunset properly for a long time.
He didn't have the energy or mood in his previous life, but he doesn't have the time in this life. It has only been two years since he was reborn, but Lin Yimu has the illusion that a very long time has passed.
"I never realized that the sunset can be so beautiful." Lin Yimu muttered to himself, staring at the red sky outside the window.
"Host, although I also want you to live a leisurely life, I am a □□ system and can only advise you to complete the task as soon as possible. Only after you complete the task and unbind from me, you may have time to see the scenery and live a leisurely life." The voice of System 001 suddenly sounded in Lin Yimu's mind, interrupting his trance.
Hearing 001's words, Lin Yimu smiled and stood up and said, "Leisure life or something, just think about it. If I really have a lot of free time all of a sudden, I might not be used to it."
After saying this, Lin Yimu seemed to remember something and sneered at himself, "Maybe I am destined to be a hard worker and I can't enjoy the blessing of leisure."
Thinking about his previous life, although he was not rich before he was 16, he was still spoiled by his family. Although his academic performance and achievements were not as good as in this life, and could even be said to be below average, he had a pair of very open-minded parents who loved him and he had never suffered any hardship.
If he hadn't been so determined to become a star and insisted on signing a contract with that unscrupulous agency, a series of events would not have happened afterwards, and it would have been impossible for him not even to see his parents for the last time after they passed away.
Seeing the host like this, 001, as a system that had accompanied the host through the difficult days of the previous life and even sealed a small part of the host's memory without the host's consent, of course knew that the host might be thinking about the years after his parents passed away in the previous life. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty and didn't dare to say a word for a while.
Lin Yimu didn't take it seriously and went straight to the bathroom. After washing his face, he finally woke up completely.
Then he remembered that he had not had time to pack his luggage after returning, but it contained all the insights and inspirations he had gained from attending the Mathematicians' Congress in Country H, and even his latest ideas for his medical research, which had not made any progress.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi Mu hurried back to his room. His suitcase was in the closet in the cloakroom, but the entire cloakroom was empty without a single piece of clothing, which made Lin Yi Mu a little confused.
Didn’t you say you would bring back all the clothes he bought? How come I didn’t see any of them?
Although he was confused, Lin Yimu still took out his suitcase. However, after opening it, he found that there was no clothes in the suitcase except for his manuscript.
Lin Yimu stared at the empty suitcase for a while, and then as if he thought of something, his cheeks and ears suddenly flushed slightly, and even the hand holding the manuscript clenched unconsciously, causing wrinkles on the paper.
Clothes... Could it be that He Xiuji took all of them to his room?
This thought flashed through Lin Yimu's mind, and then it seemed to have taken root in his mind and could not be shaken off.
Then Lin Yimu thought again, he and He Xiuji had already met each other's parents, so they had made things clear, and it was not like they had never slept in the same bed before, although not often. Now it was just a matter of moving their clothes and daily necessities to another room. It was normal for them to sleep in the same room when they lived together.
After adjusting himself for a while, Lin Yimu finally suppressed his out-of-control heartbeat and flushed cheeks, but his red ears still exposed his inner unrest.
Although the two had slept in the same bed before, it was only an occasional occurrence.
Now that they were living together and their clothes had been taken away, that meant that sleeping in the same bed would be the norm for them in the future, but they still felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Yimu's mind was full of confusion, and he even thought about how to get along tonight. After all, his parents were not here, and what if something happened tonight...
“Snap!”
