Chapter 118 He Likes Someone Else
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, and Duan Huaijin realized something, "What happened?"
Yu Chucheng opened the shopping cart on his mobile phone and carefully checked the shopping records on several platforms to make sure that this was not what he bought.
He looked at the empty corridor, his breathing a little unsteady, "I didn't buy anything, but my name is on this delivery."
Upon hearing this, Duan Huaijin immediately ran towards Yu Chucheng's apartment, "Close the door first, I'll be downstairs soon."
While the lady selling braised lion head at the door turned around to pack a bag, the customer who had just paid ran away without saying a word, as if he had something urgent to do.
She could only stand there anxiously, "Hey young man! You don't want your stuff anymore!"
Duan Huaijin didn't care about food anymore, he ran all the way to Yu Chucheng's house.
Yu Chucheng brought in the express delivery of unknown origin. The box had been cut open with a knife. The box was light and there was nothing inside except a photo.
But this photo is eerie.
The photo shows Yu Chucheng when he graduated from high school. He was wearing a high school uniform, but his face had been scratched beyond recognition with a red ballpoint pen.
Seeing Duan Huaijin, Yu Chucheng moved his dry lips, "Duan Huaijin, I..."
This is a blatant threat.
Duan Huaijin threw away the bag, stroked the back of his head, and pulled him into his arms, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Yu Chucheng had just gone to see Lin Mei in the afternoon, but as soon as he came back he received a threat by express delivery. His heart was beating wildly, and he only slowly calmed down after Duan Huaijin hugged him.
Yu Chucheng originally thought that Lin Mei's life had been exposed, but he quickly ruled out this possibility.
As far as he knew, Lin Mei had been transferred from the sanatorium to the base. If Zhang Guangzhi knew that Lin Mei was still alive, he would definitely not let the detective take Lin Mei away so easily.
It should be that Zhang Guangzhi discovered his relationship with Duan Huaijin and did not want the Yu family to get involved in this matter, so he tried to threaten him, hoping to scare him and make him withdraw, leaving Duan Huaijin isolated and helpless.
Duan Huaijin also thought of this.
He gently touched Yu Chucheng's hair, feeling the body temperature of the person in his arms, "I'm sorry, I got you involved in my affairs."
If he had known earlier, he would not have been so selfish as to have the idea of possessing Yu Chucheng.
People like him should be free from worries, so that they won't be bullied or hurt others by mistake.
Perhaps it was telepathy, Yu Chucheng felt Duan Huaijin's chest tremble slightly, as if he was regretting.
He opened his eyes slightly and put his arm around Duan Huaijin's back. "There's nothing to apologize for. I said I would always stand by you."
He admitted that he was indeed scared and shocked the moment he saw the photo, but he never thought of leaving Duan Huaijin alone to face it.
Although he is nineteen years old now, all his previous memories have come back. To be honest, he is also an adult who has experienced the age of twenty-nine. As early as the night he said this, he was ready to face everything.
Duan Huaijin retracted his arms and hugged Yu Chucheng tighter.
"It must have been Zhang Guangzhi who did it." Yu Chucheng was very sure. He looked up at Duan Huaijin and said, "What should we do now? In fact, I am collecting evidence of Zhang Guangzhi's crimes. Not only did he protect Lin Mei, he may also be illegally selling catalysts in private..."
Duan Huaijin interrupted him, "Cheng Cheng."
Yu Chucheng's breathing stagnated, "What did you call me?"
"Cheng Cheng." Duan Huaijin repeated, "I heard your family call you that. If you don't like it, I won't call you that anymore."
Yu Chucheng turned his head away and said, "I don't dislike it."
On the contrary, it is precisely because I like it that I am surprised. I always feel that the nickname sounds different when it is pronounced by Duan Huaijin than when it is pronounced by others.
Duan Huaijin raised his hand and tucked a strand of long hair on Yu Chucheng's temple behind his ear.
"Thank you for doing this for me, but Zhang Guangzhi has already set his sights on you. The most important thing now is to ensure your safety. We can investigate these things slowly."
Yu Chucheng stared at him without blinking, and had a premonition of something, "You mean..."
They had both made promises to each other that they couldn't break up.
Duan Huaijin lowered his head and kissed Yu Chucheng's eyes soothingly, "We can confuse people, as long as we make the outside world believe it."

On the day of the winter solstice, Yu Chucheng returned to the Yu family alone.
Mrs. Yu had been waiting eagerly since early morning, "Cheng Cheng, when will Xiao Duan come? Why isn't he coming with you?"
Yu Chucheng lazily fell on the sofa, hugged the cat at home and took a breath, "He didn't come, we broke up."
Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu: “???”
"What's the situation? Did something happen? Wasn't he fine a few days ago..." Mrs. Yu sat down, held Yu Chucheng's hand and asked with concern.
Yu Jingchen, the only person in the family who knew about his brother's plan, looked at Yu Chucheng expressionlessly as he lied.
"It's no big deal." Yu Chucheng peeled a small kumquat and shrugged, "He likes someone else."
In fact, Yu Chucheng said this on purpose. Although his breakup with Duan Huaijin was fake, it meant that they could not meet often. He obviously had a boyfriend, but he could not see or touch him, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"What?!" Mrs. Yu was extremely surprised. No matter how she looked at him, Xiao Duan didn't seem like that kind of person.
Mr. Yu was also shocked. He had originally planned to invite Duan Huaijin to come to the company for some training when Duan Huaijin was in his sophomore year. However, they just met last month and broke up this month.
"Oh, forget it, let's eat first."
Ji Zhou was the third person to know about Yu Chucheng and Duan Huaijin’s breakup.
He was silent for a long time, then quietly lit a cigarette and said, "Brother, although you two have been together for quite a while, you should know that I just found out about you two being together not long ago. Please give me some time."
Yu Chucheng carefully looked at the key points Duan Huaijin had highlighted for him in the book and said, "Take it easy."
Ji Zhou looked at his face suspiciously, "Why aren't you sad at all?"
"What's so sad about this? You can't hang yourself on a tree."
Besides, he had a video call with Duan Huaijin this morning.
Ji Zhou came closer, "Do you still keep the ring he gave you?"
Yu Chucheng turned the page unnaturally and said, "Throw it away, throw it away."
"Throw it away?!" Ji Zhou shook Yu Chucheng's neck, feeling that he had missed out on 100 million. "Why did you throw away the ring again? It would be better if you could sell it for money!"
Yu Chucheng grabbed his collar. Ji Zhou shook him so hard that the ring and necklace under his neck almost came out. "Get lost. Impossible."
Yu Chucheng only told Yu Jingchen about the threatening express delivery he received. Now Yu Jingchen has placed two or three people around him to protect him at all times.
In a few days, Yu Jingchen was going to attend a New Year's cocktail party on behalf of the Yu family. When he received the invitation, he called Yu Chucheng to ask if he wanted to go.
Yu Chucheng didn't even think about it, "Go, of course I'll go."
He was worried that the news of his breakup with Duan Huaijin would not reach Zhang Guangzhi's ears.
