In the original world line, Lin Jian would jump off the building when he was almost humiliated. This shows that even though the young master looks weak, he is actually tough at heart. This also means that he does not want more people to know about the scene of him being embarrassed and rejected after exposing his shortcomings.
What's more, Lin Su doesn't want gratitude. He is not a warm man, nor does he want to be Lin Jian's supporting role. If he wants to be someone, he wants to be the absolute protagonist of that person.
…
The silence upstairs spread a little. Sheng Hong frowned deeply and asked, "When did I ever say such a thing?"
In his impression, he would never say such irresponsible words to Lin Yan.
"You... really don't remember," Lin Jian was a little distraught. It turned out that what Lin Su said was true. He was the only one who took it seriously, he was the only one who was being sentimental, and he was the only one who interfered with other people's feelings.
Although his face wasn't hit, it still felt hot. His pride felt trampled into the mud. A hint of hatred even rose in Lin Yan's heart. He looked at Sheng Hong, and the once strong affection in his eyes slowly faded away: "Don't you remember, when I was seven and you were twelve, we rode the Ferris wheel together..."
Sheng Hong's pupils dilated a little. He still had memories of when he was twelve years old, but he had only ridden a Ferris wheel once in his life.
It was an evening when he graduated from elementary school. The huge Ferris wheel was turning slowly. It was much smaller than the current Lin Lang, but a little guy who looked like a mold was sitting next to him. He was crying because of the height and there were traces of tears on his soft white face. Perhaps because he was born too good-looking, Lin Lang at that time was not annoying like other children when they cried. Instead, he was as pitiful because he twitched like a little kitten.
Sheng Hong still remembers that he was overwhelmed with protective desire at that time. Holding the little child in his arms, he felt more comfortable than holding a cloud.
He clumsily wiped the tears, told stories, and distracted the little one. When the Ferris wheel reached the top, the night sky was already filled with stars. The middle school boy, who used to think he could pick stars and the moon, was now immersed in those bright pupils.
"There are stars..." When he was a child, Lin Lang pointed at the sky, as if he had the entire sky in his eyes.
Like catching the moon in the water, Sheng Hong caressed those eyes and said to the little bun Lin Yan in his puzzled gaze: "I will marry you as my bride in the future, okay? I will make you the most beautiful bride."
Children speak without restraint.
Xiao Linjian didn't seem to understand what the word "bride" meant: "What is a bride?"
"That's... the person who will be with Brother Hong forever and ever," Sheng Hong explained, touching his head.
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up even brighter, filled with joy: "I want to be with Brother Hong forever. I want to be Brother Hong's bride!"
The dusty memories were awakened, and Sheng Hong felt a little embarrassed and had complicated feelings.
He was sure that he was really serious at that time, but he didn't understand the feelings of a partner at that time. He only knew that he wanted to stay with Lin Jian forever. It was a very pure feeling.
But how did it change later?
Later, he went to junior high school and separated from Lin Lang. Because of his good grades, he skipped grades one after another, while Lin Lang had difficulty with even the simplest studies. Later, he even started skipping school, saying that he was going to see him.
Sheng Hong's words were effective at first, but later on they were no longer effective. The intimacy they once had seemed to quickly become distant. Later, he went abroad to study, while Lin Jian stayed in China. He did whatever was fun and exciting, and except for prostitution and drugs, he dared to do anything. He spent money lavishly and acted arbitrarily, as if they were people from two different worlds.
