Chapter 106 "There's still a smell of blood on you."
When he heard the sound of the elevator door opening outside, Lin Mian was wiping the wooden gun he had just found. He stopped and turned his head.
There is only this one house on the entire floor, so the people who came up must be looking for them.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard someone knocking on the door.
With a "click", Lin Mian loaded the gun in his hand, stood up and walked to the entrance. He knew that people outside could hear his footsteps, so he didn't speak in a hurry.
Soon, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside, "Senior, it's me."
Cheng Yuefeng.
Lin Mian still remembered the man's voice and name. He lowered his eyes, flipped his right hand, put the wooden warehouse into the space, stepped forward and opened the door.
"Senior...eh?" Cheng Yuefeng was stunned for a moment when he didn't see anyone familiar. Then, realizing what was happening, he smiled and said, "It's Junior Lin. Isn't Senior here?"
Lin Mian watched as his gaze swept past him, then returned to him, and shook his head slightly. "He's gone out. He said he had something to discuss with Deputy District Chief Liang."
Anyway, that's what the other party told him, and he didn't bother to find out whether it was true or not.
"Oh, that's unfortunate. I was hoping to catch up with you, senior," Cheng Yuefeng said, looking slightly disappointed, but then he frowned again. "Junior Lin, do you mind if I go in and wait? We could chat."
Given their level of familiarity, there should be nothing much to talk about, Lin Mian thought to himself, but still stepped aside. Anyway, he had nothing else to do at the moment, so it didn't matter if he listened.
Cheng Yuefeng stepped inside, glanced around the room, and said, "You've all packed up. I was thinking of coming to help, but unfortunately, I was out with my team cleaning up the Altered Objects yesterday."
Lin Mian led him to sit on the sofa and said, "With the help of District Chief Liang and others, it won't be a big deal."
"Speaking of which, how did you get to know the district chief and the others? I heard that you saved them?" Cheng Yuefeng asked casually, seemingly out of pure curiosity.
Lin Mian reached for a cup, poured some warm water from the electric kettle into it, and handed it to him. "We've encountered this before by chance. Brother Ji helped us deal with a few mutants. We didn't expect to meet again."
"That's quite fate." Cheng Yuefeng drank a sip of warm water. "What about the junior? How did you meet the senior?"
"It was just a coincidence," Lin Mian said without further explanation, simply mentioning that the other party had helped him in the square. "Brother Jie happened to be passing by, so he helped me out."
"Oh, I see," Cheng Yuefeng gently rubbed the wall of the cup and said, "Senior is actually not easy to approach. When we were in school, it seemed like he could chat with everyone, but in fact, he was not close to anyone. If we were not in the same major and I often asked him for advice on projects, I guess he would not remember who I am at all."
At this point, he chuckled and said, "It's hard to imagine that someone with his personality would fall in love. I always thought he would end up alone."
Hearing him say this, Lin Mian raised his hand and touched his nose. In fact, when he first met Jiang Jie, he found it difficult to imagine him being in love, especially with him.
The first time he was pinned down by the other party, he even suspected that the other party had been possessed by another body.
As for now... well, I can only say that I have too much energy.
He coughed to clear his mind and asked, "You two didn't interact much at school back then?"
"Not much. Senior seems to be always busy. Apart from some required courses, he seems to be working outside most of the time." Cheng Yuefeng thought about it roughly and then smiled teasingly, "What's the matter, is he jealous?"
"No, I'm just curious about his life in college." Lin Mian shook his head quickly, but thoughts arose in his mind.
If they didn't have much contact in school and almost never saw each other after graduation, then where did Jiang Jie's emotions towards this person come from?
Based on his understanding of men, they would not care about insignificant people or things at all. If they could make him emotionally unstable, they must have done something that made him extremely disgusted.
But if it really came to this, Cheng Yuefeng would not be completely without any impression, and he would not be able to approach people so openly to reminisce about the past.
Lin Mian couldn't figure out what the unknown reason was.
"Don't be embarrassed, junior, don't worry." Cheng Yuefeng raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "It's not just me. Senior has never had any ambiguous relationship with others in school before. I promise you."
Seeing that he still misunderstood, Lin Mian didn't explain any more. He calmly avoided his hand and smiled.
Cheng Yuefeng put down the water cup in his hand and said, "You are the first one to be treated so gently by the senior."
He lowered his eyes slightly as he spoke, and because his glasses blocked his view, his expression was not clear, and his tone did not change much from before.
But Lin Mian inexplicably felt uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and moved his body a little to the side.
Cheng Yuefeng looked up at this moment and pushed up his glasses which had slipped down a bit. "So, Junior Lin, don't overthink it. He definitely likes you very much."
He still had a smile on his face, and his temperament was gentle, as if the discomfort just now was just an illusion of Lin Mian. He paused slightly, and his brows relaxed. "Well, thank you for telling me this, senior."
"It's nothing. I'm also very happy to chat with you." Cheng Yuefeng put down the hand that was pushing up his glasses and put it on his legs. "Just don't blame me for interrupting you."
As he finished speaking, the sound of the elevator door opening was heard outside. They both paused, and Cheng Yuefeng asked, "Is it Senior who is back?"
"Maybe." Lin Mian stood up and walked to the entrance to open the door.
It was indeed Jiang Jie standing outside. He raised an eyebrow when he saw him, "I was only away for a while and you missed me so much. You're so eager to open the door."
Lin Mian had become accustomed to his unruly behavior, but only when there were no outsiders around. He glanced sideways behind him and said, "Someone is here..."
Before Jiang Yan could even ask who it was, Cheng Yuefeng came out and said with a smile, "Senior, you won't blame me for disturbing your and Junior Lin's time together, will you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yan laughed, stepped into the room, stretched out his hand to pull Lin Mian into his arms, and said nonchalantly, "You can't disturb me anymore."
Cheng Yuefeng raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, I'm redundant, let's stop posting dog food, okay?"
Jiang Jie held him in his arms and leaned against the locker at the entrance. He raised his hand and slowly rubbed the back of his neck. "Didn't you come here to eat this yourself?"
"Okay, I asked for it, I deserve it." Cheng Yuefeng shook his head helplessly, "After not seeing you for so many years, Senior's mouth has become more and more unforgiving."
"I just don't like to suffer losses." Jiang Yi shrugged and took Lin Mian into the living room, sitting lazily on the sofa. "Why are you here?"
"It was inconvenient when there were so many people at dinner, so I wanted to chat with you alone. I didn't expect you to be so busy." Cheng Yuefeng bent down and picked up his water cup from the seat in front of him, walked two steps away and sat on the single sofa. "But fortunately, I had a very pleasant chat with Junior Brother Lin."
"Oh, what did you two talk about?" Jiang Yan looked down at Lin Mian, pinched his chin and shook it, "You're not secretly saying bad things about me, are you?"
"No." Lin Mian pulled his hand away.
"Indeed, I didn't. I can testify to that." Cheng Yuefeng, who had just put down his glass after taking a sip of water, heard the voice and said, "That is, I told my junior whether the senior had a romantic partner when we were in school. I explained it very clearly to you."
"Really?" Jiang Yan rubbed the earlobe of the person in his arms and teased, "Are you secretly asking about my love history?"
Lin Mian wanted to say that he didn't do it and it was all a misunderstanding, but now was obviously not the time to explain, so he simply threw himself into the other person's chest and pretended to be dead.
Jiang Yi pinched the back of his neck and wanted to pull his head up to tease him again, but it seemed to be very lively here today, and there was a noise coming from the elevator outside.
But this time the person seemed to be in a panic, his footsteps were hurried, and he started knocking on the door "dong dong dong" when he reached it.
"Cousin! Cousin, are you there?!"
When Cheng Yuefeng heard the sound, he stood up and strode towards the door.
Jiang Yan raised his lips as he looked at his back. When he lowered his eyes, his gaze met Lin Mian's who raised his head. He tilted his head and gestured towards the door, then pulled the other person to stand up together.
Over there, Cheng Yuefeng had already opened the door. He looked at the disheveled clothes outside, and saw that it was someone who had run over. His brows furrowed, "I told you to be more calm. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Oh, cousin, something happened!" Qi Shang held onto the door and took a few breaths, then continued, "Liu Yang, Liu Yang was seriously injured and is now unconscious!"
"What?!" Cheng Yuefeng's expression changed. "What happened? How could he get injured in the safe zone? Did an alien creature break in?!"
Qi Shang quickly waved his hands. "No, I'm not sure about the details, but it looks like he was beaten. He's unconscious now, so we can't be sure. I can only come to you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuefeng's expression changed again. He gritted his teeth secretly and turned back to Jiang Jie and the other man who had just walked over and said, "Senior, Junior Lin, you heard it too. I have something to take care of over there right now, so I'll be heading back first."
After saying that, he didn't wait for the two to reply and hurried out the door.
After the elevator outside closed and began to move downwards, Jiang Yan smiled and closed the door behind him. When he turned around, he met the eyes of the little rabbit looking at him. He reached out and rubbed the corner of the other's eyes, saying, "Ask anything you want to ask. There's no need to keep staring at me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mian said straight to the point: "You did it."
His tone was very certain, without any doubt. Jiang Jie didn't say yes or no, but only raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is it me?"
Lin Mian took a step forward, moved closer to him, and sniffed lightly, "There's still a hint of blood on your body."
It's very faint and you have to get close to smell it. It shouldn't be caused by direct contact. It's probably because the other person bled a lot and was smoked by the residual smell.
Lin Mian smelled it when the other person came in and hugged him, but Cheng Yuefeng was there at the time, so he didn't say much.
Jiang Jie hugged the person who was close to him and kissed him on the forehead, "My little rabbit is very sensitive."
It sounded like he had no intention of hiding anything. Lin Mian looked up at him for a long time, and finally sighed, "Brother Jie, they are the same as that Wang Hao, right?"
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and looked at him, rubbing the hair on the back of his head with his palm, "Yeah."
Lin Mian didn't ask any more questions. He just raised his hands and held his face. "Brother Jian, I won't interfere with what you want to do, but at least, don't let the L City Safe Zone follow the same fate as N City. Liang Nan and Liang Qun are not bad people."
Jiang Yan, whose face was held by him, smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I know my limits. I just want to have more fun."
It's easy to kill them, but it's a bit too boring.
"Okay." Lin Mian leaned over and kissed him, then leaned into his arms.
In fact, even if the man really loses his sense of propriety in the end, Lin Mian will still stand on his side.
