Yan Yue's parking place was not far from Micro Gardening. Turning left, he saw the street of Micro Gardening. He had just arrived not long ago, and without Dahei, he needed to find another suitable excuse to appear in front of Lu Lingxi.
The mid-summer sun was so hot that the asphalt on the road seemed to be melting. Pedestrians rushing around under the scorching sun often looked anxious, and when they passed Yan Yue's parked car, they would more or less look at him curiously.
The air conditioner in the car was turned on very high, but Yan Yue felt that he was hotter than the pedestrians outside. This heat did not come from the body, but from the insatiable desire in the deepest part of his heart. He wanted to appear in front of the boy immediately, but he was worried about the boy's reaction. He was used to staying by the boy's side every noon under the pretext of visiting Dahei, feeling the comfortable breath of the boy. Occasionally, the boy would smile at him, and the smile was clean and clear. The irritable emotions that had been churning in his heart slowly calmed down like the sea under the breeze. Now that the habit was suddenly interrupted, Yan Yue was completely unable to suppress his impulse, just like a thirsty traveler in the desert, madly longing for a life-saving spring.
Yan Yue tapped the steering wheel gently and stepped on the accelerator. He was going to the pet store to buy some dog food for the stupid dog and to see the boy.
Yan Yue's car had just started when a man passing by suddenly stumbled, hit the front of Yan Yue's car and fell to the ground.
"Someone's been hit and killed!" Someone shouted loudly, and it was like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan. The pedestrians, who were originally depressed by the scorching heat, suddenly became excited.
Yan Yue's face was grim and he stepped on the brakes very quickly. If he saw it correctly, it was the man who hit his car, so he inevitably thought of hitting the car. He pushed open the door with a cold face and stepped out of the car. In just one minute, the pedestrians around had surrounded the two people and the car.
Yan Yue frowned slightly and looked at the man lying on the ground with a cold expression, "Shall I take you to the hospital?"
The man was Lu Yishui. He saw Yan Yue getting off the car from the corner of his eye. He immediately pretended to be in pain, holding his head and muttering to himself, "Why am I not dead?"
Someone on the side of the road said, "What are you talking about? Why would you die?"
Lu Yishui banged his head against Yan Yue's car and shouted, "I am not a human being. I feel sorry for my wife and children. I lost all the money in the family. I have no face to live anymore."
As soon as he said this, the people around who were watching the fun immediately started talking.
"If you die, what will happen to your wife and children?"
"That's right, how can a man be irresponsible? You've finished it all, so how do you want them and their child to live?"
Amidst the clamor of dissuasion, Lu Yishui secretly glanced at Yan Yue, covering his face with a guilty look, "I'm useless, I have no money, I lost all the money for my son's schooling, he's only 18 years old, because I left home early to work in a gardening store, I'm sorry for him!" At this point, Lu Yishui seemed unable to continue, choking up and saying, "Xiaoxi, Daddy is sorry for you."
Gardening shop? Xiaoxi?
These two names were enough to attract Yan Yue's attention. He looked at the man on the ground with a slightly cold gaze. In the eyes of others, the man's singing, reciting and acting were nothing more than watching the fun, but in Yan Yue's eyes, he had ulterior motives. He did not doubt Lu Yishui's words. This man had the kind of shameless and rogue aura that gamblers often have. He did not expect that such a handsome boy would have such a father. If he felt a little strange when the man bumped into him at first, thinking that the other party was deliberately trying to scam him, then now he probably guessed the man's mind. He didn't know how the man knew that he and Lu Lingxi knew each other, or even how much the man knew? But he should never have used Lu Lingxi to get in. If he could use the boy once today, he could use him countless times in the future.
Yan Yue suppressed the disgust in his eyes and asked, "Are you Ling Xi's father?"
Lu Yishui was overjoyed. Sure enough, this man knew Lu Lingxi. He looked at Yan Yue in surprise, "You know my son, he..."
Yan Yue interrupted him, "Xiaoxi and I are friends, I'll take you to the hospital first." Being watched by everyone for so long was already Yan Yue's limit, especially since this place was not far from Micro Gardening, and he didn't want to involve the boy.
Lu Yishui stood up with the help of the car with difficulty, nodded gratefully towards Yan Yue, and refused: "Actually, no need, I'm fine."
"Let's go." Yan Yue interrupted Lu Yishui and got into the car first.
Lu Yishui suppressed the joy on his face and got into the car carefully. He had never been in such a high-end car before, and was a little timid for a moment. But then he thought, he was about to be forced to death by Brother Feng. He was just trying his luck anyway, what if he could get some money from this sucker? Getting some money is good, after all, Lu Lingxi is here, isn't it natural for the son to pay the father's debt? Even if he can't get any money, it's just a matter of losing face, how much is a face worth.
With this in mind, Lu Yishui portrayed himself as a man who regretted doing something wrong and wanted to make amends but didn't know how to do it while going to the hospital. His wife wanted to divorce him, and his son refused to forgive him. He was so frustrated that he thought about committing suicide. He also had a little selfish desire, and wanted to extort money from his family by dying, as a way to fulfill his last responsibility.
Lu Yishui glanced at Yan Yue anxiously when he said this, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Xiaoxi's friend, I..."
A hint of amusement flashed across Yan Yue's eyes, and he said coldly, "You just said that Xiaoxi hopes you and his mother will divorce?"
Lu Yishui didn't know Yan Yue's intention, so he nodded cautiously.
Yan Yue stepped on the brakes, and Lu Yishui was caught off guard and hit the backrest in front of him.
"You..." Lu Yishui was hit hard and asked vaguely.
Yan Yue turned around expressionlessly, his eyes lightly sweeping over Lu Yishui. For some reason, Lu Yishui suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if all his thoughts were seen through by the young man opposite him.
"I will pay back the money you owe, and you and Xiaoxi's mother will divorce." Yan Yue said coldly.
Lu Yishui looked at Yan Yue in surprise, totally not understanding Yan Yue's intentions.
Yan Yue had no intention of explaining and said directly: "At this time tomorrow, at the street corner just now, bring your divorce certificate and I will give you the money."
"Really...?" Lu Yishui said in disbelief.
Yan Yue opened the car door and said as if he didn't intend to say anything more, "You can go now."
Lu Yishui got out of the car in disbelief. The development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations. The whole process went incredibly smoothly. He hadn't played the last sympathy card yet. What made Lu Yishui feel even more strange was the conditions of this young man. Was there any necessary connection between his divorce from Wang Xiaohua and paying back the money? Could it be that... Lu Yishui's first thought was that Wang Xiaohua had cheated on him, but he didn't think so. This man really didn't seem like someone who could be interested in Wang Xiaohua. Why was that?
Although Lu Yishui was nervous, he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity. It's just a divorce, isn't it? Even if they divorce, Wang Xiaohua is still his wife and Lu Lingxi is still his son. Can they ignore him when he's old? Thinking about what the man said, he hurriedly hailed a car and rushed home. Wang Xiaohua must be there at this time. The two of them should complete the formalities today. If the situation is not right tomorrow, it will only take a few minutes to remarry.
As soon as Lu Yishui left, Yan Yue called Ye Kang.
"Is Third Brother Ye in Fengcheng? Help me find someone."
Without waiting for Ye Kang to ask more questions, Yan Yue hung up the phone and immediately sent Lu Yishui's name and address. I believe that with the strength of Third Brother Ye, we will see the result tonight. Yan Yue has seen many gamblers like Lu Yishui. When they lose money, they will do anything. The result of entanglement with them is always bankruptcy and family destruction. Yan Yue thought of Lu Lingxi, a naive and soft-hearted boy. He should not have such a father.
The excitement happening across the street had not yet reached Lu Lingxi's ears, and he was still working step by step. He fiddled with the flowers and plants, greeted customers, and read a book when no one was around. Soon it was time to get off work.
During the process, Lu Lingxi received a call from Wang Shuxiu, saying that Lu Yishui had suddenly agreed to a divorce and they were now at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Before Lu Lingxi could express her surprise, Wang Shuxiu herself was a little bit unconvinced.
"The old bastard must have felt guilty this time. He didn't ask for anything and didn't even mention the house."
Lu Yishui's character is so bad that Wang Shuxiu is worried that Lu Yishui has some plans behind his back. However, the divorce does not seem to be fake at all. Wang Shuxiu makes a prompt decision and goes to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get a divorce first.
Lu Lingxi also felt that this matter was a bit strange, but no matter what, Wang Shuxiu finally got rid of Lu Yishui. He could hear the relief in Wang Shuxiu's tone, and he was happy for Wang Shuxiu. Without Lu Yishui's burden, he was now working and making money, and Wang Shuxiu's burden was greatly reduced. She no longer had to work in KTV, but could find a lighter job. Wang Shuxiu was not young anymore, and her body could not stand the upside-down day and night like this.
Before Lu Lingxi could finish his words, Wang Shuxiu interrupted him rudely, "I'm only forty, how can I be old? I have to save money for you, little bastard, to get married."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
"Alright, alright, come back early tonight. Divorcing that old bastard is a big deal, so I'll stew a chicken for you tonight to celebrate."
Lu Lingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say "hmm" obediently. Wang Shuxiu was satisfied and hung up the phone in a good mood.
At seven o'clock, Lu Lingxi packed up the things in the store and walked home with Dahei. After a day, he always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he realized that he didn't seem to see Yan Yue today. During the days when Dahei was recuperating, Yan Yue would come to see Dahei every noon, as if it had become a habit.
Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty. Yan Yue really liked Dahei. He must have thought that he had left Dahei at home. Touching Dahei's head, Lu Lingxi said casually, "Dahei, remember Yan Yue, right? He didn't come to see you today. Do you miss him?"
Lu Lingxi said this casually, but Dahei suddenly stopped moving, turned around and called softly towards the back.
Lu Lingxi turned around and looked for a long time but saw nothing. Dahei's reaction was a bit like yesterday, but not as intense as yesterday. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand Dahei's cries and didn't know what Dahei meant.
"Don't look at it, or you won't have chicken legs to eat when you get home."
The chicken legs were still very attractive. Dahei immediately turned around and started jogging with Lu Lingxi in tow.
"Wait, wait, run slower." Lu Lingxi was dragged to jog a few steps and couldn't help laughing.
