Ever since he knew Yan Yue was going back to Zhongjing for the New Year, Lu Lingxi hoped that time would pass slower and slower. Although he didn't say it, his actions unconsciously revealed his reluctance to part with Yan Yue.
At night, after Yan Yue took a shower, Lu Lingxi followed him like a puppy, passing him a towel and helping him find clothes. Yan Yue could almost see Lu Lingxi's tail wagging behind him. His heart softened, and he hugged Lu Lingxi, pressed him against the wall, and kissed him hard.
Lu Lingxi's eyes were blurred, and his breathing was rapid because of Yan Yue's kiss. His beautiful black eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and his expression was pure and innocent, revealing a fatal sexiness. Yan Yue rubbed his lips uncontrollably, thinking that it would be better to just stay here for the New Year. He really didn't want to be separated from Lu Lingxi for a minute.
"Baby, not as good as me..."
Before Yan Yue finished speaking, Yi Hang's loud voice rang out from outside. "Third brother, what are you doing? You're not at home?"
The sound was very close, as if there was only a wall between them. Lu Lingxi pushed Yan Yue away in a panic, and ran out without saying anything to Yan Yue. In the bathroom, Yan Yue looked down at his excited little brother, and his face quickly darkened.
"Yi Hang." Lu Lingxi greeted him guiltily.
On the sofa in the living room, Yi Hang was teasing Xiao Hei with biscuits. Seeing Lu Lingxi coming out of the bathroom, he was a little surprised, "Third brother, are you taking a shower?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head awkwardly and found an excuse, "No, I just sent some clothes to Brother Yan."
"Oh, is that Brother Yan taking a shower? How's Brother Yan's body shape? Is he as strong as me?" As he spoke, he raised his arms and made a bodybuilding pose. Lu Lingxi blinked and looked at him speechlessly.
Yi Hang chuckled, threw the biscuits in his hand to Xiao Hei, waved excitedly at Lu Lingxi, and said, "The second brother just called me, he will be back with the fourth brother in two days. Then we brothers will have a good reunion, and next year we will detain the fourth brother and not let him leave."
He said it as a matter of course. Lu Lingxi sat next to Yi Hang, still worried that Bai Wei's father would not agree. Yi Hang put his arm around Lu Lingxi's neck and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Lao Si said that their school is not strict, and even if he doesn't go to class, the school won't find out for a while. Let Lao Si work in the small restaurant for a month, and when he gets paid and sees the money, his father won't say anything."
As the two were talking, Yan Yue pushed open the bathroom door and saw Yi Hang almost pressing down on Lu Lingxi. His already unpredictable mood became even more unpleasant.
"Brother Yan." Yi Hang didn't know how to read people's faces at all. He greeted Yan Yue with a smile.
Ever since the backyards of Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi's families were connected, nine out of ten times Yi Hang went to see Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi was at Yan Yue's place. Over time, he got used to going straight to Yan Yue's house every time he came, and didn't consider himself an outsider at all.
Yan Yue nodded to Yi Hang with a half-smile, and his eyes moved around his arm. For some reason, Yi Hang felt his arm was cold, and he subconsciously rubbed it with his hand. Yan Yue showed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and sat down on the other side of Lu Lingxi without saying a word. As a result, Yi Hang felt it was inconvenient to say anything to Lu Lingxi. Every time he looked up, he could see Yan Yue's profile. Although Yan Yue didn't say anything, Yi Hang felt something was wrong.
"Third brother, it's okay. I'm going back." Yi Hang said a few words and couldn't say anything else. There was nothing to do here, so he simply chose to say goodbye awkwardly.
"So early?" Lu Lingxi was a little confused. Yi Hang had been here for less than ten minutes, just to tell him that Bai Wei and Zheng Tan were coming back?
"Hey, it's getting late. You guys should go to bed early." Yi Hang said as he waved to Dahei and climbed over the fence and left the yard as if he knew the way there.
"Brother Yan, Yi Hang..." Before Lu Lingxi could finish his words, he was pressed down on the sofa by Yan Yue. Yan Yue slowly took off his shirt and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry about Yi Hang. Let's finish what we didn't finish just now."
Lu Lingxi blushed and was about to speak when Wang Shuxiu called out from the yard again. "Xiaoxi, is Yi Hang gone?"
Lu Lingxi once again hurriedly pushed Yan Yue away, and Yan Yue's face suddenly turned dark. Lu Lingxi held back his laughter and ran to the balcony, feeling lucky that Wang Shuxiu never entered Yan Yue's house, and only shouted in the yard if there was anything.
"Mother."
Wang Shuxiu saw that Lu Lingxi was wearing thin clothes, so she hurried him back. "It's okay, I just made some tomato sauce and asked Yi Hang to take it back." Since Yi Hang had left, Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything more to Lu Lingxi. It was cold on the balcony, and she was afraid that Lu Lingxi would catch a cold.
Lu Lingxi waited until Wang Shuxiu came back before entering the house. When he turned around, he saw Yan Yue looking at him helplessly with his upper body naked. Thinking of what happened before, Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing even though he knew he shouldn't laugh.
Time passed quickly, and half a week had passed. The New Year atmosphere on Fengcheng Street was already very strong. At this time, Yan Yue received a call from Yan Shihui, asking him when he would return to Zhongjing. What happened to the Yan family was known to the upper circles in Zhongjing. But no matter how much Yan Shihui and Yin Qinglan hated each other in private, they would return to the Yan family mansion every Spring Festival, and Yin Yongde and Yan Yue would also be with them.
In the past, Yan Yue had already returned from abroad at this time. This year, Yan Yue had been silent. Yan Shihui thought that Yan Yue still remembered what happened before, so he called Yan Yue to urge him to go home for the New Year. Yan Shihui said lightly, "Ayue, the past is the past. There is no overnight hatred among family members."
"Yes." Yan Yue answered perfunctorily. Yan Shihui's face was not good, but he could not find any reason to criticize Yan Yue. He hung up the phone with a sullen face. Yan Shihui felt a little upset when he thought of Yan Yue. In the six months since Yan Yue returned to China, the profits of overseas companies have decreased by 20% year-on-year, and two old customers have been poached by other competitors after the contract expired. Although Yan Shihui and Yan Hai said that it was okay and that they would just pay tuition fees to practice, the directors were not so generous at the year-end summary meeting of Hepu.
Yan Shihui knew what the directors meant. The directors headed by Yin Yongde were trying to force him to let Yan Yue come back. He had hesitated in his heart, but after seeing Yan Hai's sleepless New Year development plan, he made up his mind. He knew his son well. Yan Hai was not as good as Yan Yue. If he was cultivated for a few years, he could barely take on the responsibility. Now that there was such a little dissatisfaction, he transferred Yan Hai back and replaced him with Yan Yue. It was a blatant slap in Yan Hai's face. If Yan Hai got stuck in a dead end and couldn't recover, all his painstaking efforts would be wasted.
Yan Shihui was not biased, but people always tend to favor the weak. Yan Hai was inferior to Yan Yue in everything, so he couldn't help but think more about Yan Hai. Otherwise, when he died one day, Yan Yue would swallow Yan Hai until nothing was left. Yan Shihui sighed. If Yan Yue had a little brotherly love for Yan Hai, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
Yan Yue knew all about Yan Shihui's thoughts, but he didn't take them to heart. After answering Yan Shihui's call, Yan Yue received another call from his grandfather Yin Yongde. Now he had to put going home on the agenda. He didn't care about Yan Shihui, but Yan Yue still had feelings for Yin Yongde. After finding an excuse to stay in Fengcheng for another two days, Yan Yue returned to Zhongjing with An Jie in a low-key manner at the end of January.
The Yan family mansion was as deserted as ever. Yan Shihui and Yin Qinglan would never live together until the last day. Yin Yongde wanted to accompany Yan Yue earlier, but he couldn't live alone in the Yan family. The housekeeper waited for half a year and finally waited for Yan Yue to come back. He decorated the Yan family mansion early to welcome Yan Yue.
"Boss, is this how New Year's celebrations are celebrated here?" Anjie pointed to the rows of red lanterns hanging under the eaves and whispered, "This is really lively."
Although An Jie is Chinese, he has always lived abroad. He doesn't know who his biological parents are, and his adoptive parents are not Chinese. He has never had the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival in the past. This is the first time that An Jie has returned to China with Yan Yue to celebrate the Spring Festival. Looking at the layout of the yard, he can't help but admire it. The Yan family's building is an antique-style building, and the layout is completely Chinese, which looks very festive.
Yan Yue just glanced at the lanterns indifferently, with no expression on his face. Whether it is lively or not does not depend on the decoration of the yard, but on the people. No matter how lively the Yan family decorates, Yan Shihui and Yin Qinglan will only stay here for three days at most. Every year on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the two of them leave in a hurry, leaving Yan Yue alone here until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The more lively it is outside, the more pitiful he looks. Yan Yue had thought about it before he came back this time. He would go back to Fengcheng on the fourth day of the first lunar month. Since Yan Shihui and Yin Qinglan didn't care, he didn't care even more.
Just as Yan Yue took a shower and changed clothes, Ye Kang came over. He knew Yan Yue would be back today, so he went back to the old house to wait for Yan Yue.
"Why, you don't want to come back?" Ye Kang joked.
Yan Yue nodded calmly.
Ye Kang was no match for Yan Yue, so he had to change the subject. "Why are you suddenly interested in the Zhongjing Lu family?"
Yan Yue asked An Jie to help him investigate the information of the Zhongjing Lu family, and Ye Kang did not hide this from him. In fact, Ye Kang also contributed a lot to the information, and some things that were too long ago were found by Ye Kang. Ye Kang had asked Yan Yue before, but Yan Yue didn't say anything. Although Ye Kang felt that Yan Yue's behavior was related to Lu Lingxi, he couldn't connect this matter with the young man in Fengcheng. Instead, he just heard a piece of news, and he suspected that Yan Yue had heard something in advance.
Seeing Yan Yue didn't say anything, Ye Kang asked again, "Did you hear something?"
"What?"
"Mr. Yin wants to form a marriage alliance with the Lu family."
Yan Yue didn't care, "Are you talking about Yin Ya and Lu Weian?"
Ye Kang shook his head. "The Lu family wants you as their marriage partner. I heard that Mr. Yin also has this plan."
Yan Yue's face darkened. "I don't know about this matter, but it doesn't matter whether you know it or not. There won't be any marriage."
Grandpa's intention was probably good, but unfortunately Yan Yue didn't appreciate it.
Ye Kang knew that was it, shrugged, and thought of another piece of news. "By the way, I found another piece of news about the Lu family a few days ago, but I'm not sure if it's true or not." He didn't keep the secret and said directly: "It is rumored in the Lu family that Mr. Lu has an illegitimate child and a grandson outside."
Yan Yue frowned and didn't take it seriously.
