Chapter 26 Suffocation

Qin Chang led Lin Du to continue walking inside, but before they could take another look, they were driven out by two people patrolling the backcourt.

Qin Chang shrugged: "This trip ends here!"

Lin Du chuckled and said nothing.

"Do you know why this place is so secretive?" Qin Chang approached Lin Du mysteriously. "I heard that this place is only for the best and the worst. They have money and power, and they can cover the sky with one hand."

Lin Du nodded, thinking about it.

"Come on, let's go. I'll take you for a drink." Qin Chang put his hand on Lin Du's shoulder.

Lin Du instinctively wanted to dodge, but he forced himself to accept Qin Chang's physical contact.

Working here in the future will inevitably involve close contact with strangers. If I keep resisting like this, I will probably be kicked out within a few days.

"Why are you shaking?" Qin Chang frowned. "I won't do anything to you. Although I like men, you are not my type. I like strong men!"

Lin Du was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

"What would you like to drink?" Qin Chang leaned against the bar, tapping the table with his fingers.

"No, I can't."

Qin Chang hung his head in silence: "I think you are useless. You are really not suitable for this place."

Lin Du lowered his head and said nothing. He heard someone calling him and turned around to see Chu Xu.

"How is it? Are you familiar with the environment?" Chu Xu asked softly.

"Very good." Lin Du looked at Qin Chang gratefully, "Thanks to Qin Chang's help, otherwise I might still be confused."

Chu Xu nodded: "Not bad, you made friends so quickly, keep it up!"

"Yeah." Lin Du nodded.

After Chu Xu left, Qin Chang came over and said, "I didn't realize you knew him."

"Is he also a frequent visitor here?" Lin Du asked, looking at Chu Xu's back.

"Don't you know each other? Why are you asking me?"

Lin Du rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Not really an acquaintance, but he saw me being held outside by the security guards when I came to apply for a job, and he helped me out because he saw how pitiful I was."

"Is that so?" Qin Chang pouted, "He has a good relationship with our boss, but I heard that our boss is interested in him."

Lin Du opened his eyes wide, his beautiful pupils full of disbelief.

He thought Chu Xu and Shen Zhichu were just good friends, but he didn't expect there was this kind of relationship.

"Put your jaw down in astonishment. This is no secret in the circle. You will know it after staying here for a while."

Lin Du nodded: "The boss should be very rich, right?"

Qin Chang covered his face, looking like he was going to collapse: "Without money and power, who can do this?"

Lin Du smiled awkwardly, and suddenly realized what a stupid question he had asked.

"Ah! It's almost ten o'clock. I have to go."

"Where are you going?" Lin Du looked at Qin Chang in confusion, "Is there something urgent?"

"Yes!" Qin Chang approached, "Go and enjoy it."

"Enjoy?" Lin Du didn't understand.

Qin Chang sighed: "You are such a boring person, how come you don't know anything!"

Lin Du lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He really didn't understand anything. The things here were things he had never touched before.

"I earned more than 9,000 today, so I have to treat myself." Qin Chang raised her delicately made-up face proudly, "I know there's a bar in Beichuan. The guys there aren't as handsome as here, but they're not bad either. Do you want to go with me to have a look?"

Lin Du was startled, and shook his head and waved his hands: "I won't go, I want to go home."

Qin Chang muttered unhappily: "Okay, it's troublesome to take you there, I'll go by myself, you can look around for a while."

"good."

"This is my WeChat, please add me."

Lin Du nodded and took out his cell phone.

This time it was Qin Chang who was stunned: "Baby, what era is your phone from?"

Lin Du bit his lip awkwardly: "It can still be used."

Qin Chang patted Lin Du's shoulder distressedly: "Although the water here is deeper, it makes money quickly. I see you are really short of money, why not give it a try."

"Yes." Lin Du nodded, "Go quickly, and be careful."

Coming out of Free, Lin Du looked back.

This must be the purgatory on earth. It looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but it is actually extremely dark.

Passing by a pharmacy, Lin Du hesitated at the door for a long time before walking in: "Excuse me, do you have contraceptive pills?"

The clerk glanced at the poor-looking Lin Du with cold eyes and said contemptuously, "Yes! What price range do you want?"

"What are the prices?" Lin Du asked cautiously.

"Dozens, hundreds, even thousands."

Lin Du pinched his fingers, feeling a little distressed, but just in case he had no choice: "Take the one that costs a few hundred."

Walking out of the pharmacy with the medicine, Lin Du sighed deeply.

He is different from others. People like Qin Chang can have no worries, but he can't.

If you accidentally get pregnant, there will be no end to it.

He touched his lower abdomen and looked up at the sky sadly.

If it hadn't been for that accident, his child would have been ten years old.

He shook his head in self-mockery, wondering how could he, with his broken body, give his children a good future.

When I got home, Lin Yue was reading a book: "Brother, you are back."

He hummed lightly and walked to Lin Yue's side. Looking at her sickly face, Lin Du lowered his eyes and couldn't bear to look at her any longer.

"Brother, why have you lost weight recently?"

Lin Du touched his face and said, "No? Maybe I'm wearing too much and my face looks smaller."

Lin Yue was silent, pursing her lips, which made people feel distressed.

"Stop looking and go to sleep."

Back in the room, Lin Du curled up on the bed wrapped in a quilt.

He planned his future life carefully. He planned to stop as long as he could earn enough money to pay for Lin Yue's surgery and take care of her.

There were bound to be some things that happened during this period that he couldn't control, but he accepted it.

The phone rang and Lin Du came back to his senses. He closed his eyes helplessly and sighed. He thought he had made it very clear to Gu Yanchi.

He is such a high and mighty person, he would definitely not contact me after being rejected by me, but why is it different from what I expected?

The ringing stopped, then rang again after a moment.

"Hello."

"Are you asleep?"

Gu Niechi's voice was muffled and a little hoarse, and sounded a little aggrieved.

"No." Lin Du hugged himself tightly.

There was silence for a while on the other end of the phone. "Why didn't you send me a message after you got home? I've been waiting." Gu Linchi laughed at himself.

"Yes... I'm sorry I forgot." Lin Du instinctively wanted to explain more, but held back.

"It's okay, I don't blame you, I deserve it." Gu Nichi sighed, "Lin Du, your delivery car is still with me, when are you coming to pick it up? Or I can deliver it to you?"

“No thanks.” Lin Du refused. He didn’t want to see Gu Nichi again. “That bike is almost unrideable. If possible, please help me throw it away.”

"Okay, then stop running takeout. Can I find you a job?"

"No... no, I found a job."

"Oh... where? What are you doing? Are you tired?"

Faced with Gu's suffocating concern, Lin Du felt extremely uneasy.

"Lin Du?" Gu Xinchi was a little anxious when he could not hear the voice. "Are you complaining that I'm meddling too much? I'm sorry, I just want to care about you a little."

Lin Du sighed: "No, I'm just a waiter in a club."

"You don't dislike me, right?" Gu Ni Chi couldn't hide his happiness, "Lin Du, you actually don't dislike me, right?"

Lin Du was silent. He couldn't deny that he was not annoying, which was also the reason why he hated himself.

If he had hated Gu Penshi, perhaps he could have lived more comfortably, but he had no hatred towards him, only vague and indescribable emotions.
