Dong Qi was carrying a bag of tomatoes and was about to get in the car with a smile on his face. Before leaving, he ruffled Lu Lingxi's hair and his tone sounded more serious.
"Xiao Xi, if you have any problems in the future, tell your brother Dong. Brother Dong will definitely help you if he can."
Before coming to dinner, Dong Qi had roughly understood Lu Lingxi's family situation from his daily life. But when they really met, he still felt that it was not easy for Wang Shuxiu, a woman, to raise Lu Lingxi, and he couldn't help but express his feelings.
Lu Lingxi smiled and nodded, "I know, Brother Dong, go back and drive slowly."
Dong Qi waved his hand and said nothing more.
After watching Dong Qi drive away, Lu Lingxi was about to go home, but Dahei was squatting there, staring in one direction without moving. "Dahei?" Lu Lingxi looked over in confusion, then suddenly froze for a moment, blinked in disbelief, and walked over hesitantly.
Hongfu Community is too old and dilapidated, so there has been no property management. Several street lights in front of Building 3 were broken by naughty children in the community with slingshots, and no one has come to repair them for more than half a year. At night, the light in this area is not very good, and there are heavy shadows. Lu Lingxi vaguely saw a familiar car parked under the shade of a tree not far away, but it was a little far away, so he couldn't see clearly whether it was Yan Yue's car.
Lu Lingxi thought that Yan Yue couldn't possibly be here now, but there was also an indescribable thought that urged him to go over and check. He walked to the front of the car with some hesitation, and the car window rolled down, revealing Yan Yue's handsome face.
"Xiaoxi."
Lu Lingxi was a little surprised, but more of a surprise that he himself didn't even realize. "Brother Yan, why are you here?"
Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi with deep eyes. The place where he parked was quite remote, and the whole car was basically shrouded in darkness. If Dahei hadn't discovered him, he would have been sure that no one would see him. The action that Dong Qi did to Lu Lingxi before he left kept replaying in his mind. He looked at the boy standing in front of the car without any defense, and the desire in his heart could not be suppressed.
If he tricked the boy into the car now and took him away without a care in the world, could he keep the boy by his side, and from now on no one except him could touch him. As long as he imagined this scene, Yan Yue wanted to drag the boy into the car right now. He couldn't help wanting to touch him, to possess him, and to make the boy truly belong to him alone. But he couldn't and couldn't bear to do it. Ye Kang had already made it very clear what the consequences of doing so would be. Humans are born social animals, and if he forced the boy to go against his nature, the consequences would be extremely devastating.
Reason and emotion were fighting in his mind, and Lu Lingxi's face gradually showed doubts. Yan Yue suppressed the impulse in his heart, curled his lips, and said softly: "Xiaoxi, I miss you."
When Yan Yue said this, he felt unusually relieved. He could find many excuses, some clever and some clumsy, to deceive the boy. He was sure that the boy would not doubt him at all, but he still said the most real reason. He used to think that he just wanted to stay with the boy, but now he is no longer satisfied with the one-sided desire, he wants the boy's response.
After hearing what Yan Yue said, Lu Lingxi was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. He didn't think about anything else, but simply felt that just as he missed Yan Yue because he got used to Yan Yue's presence, Yan Yue would also miss him because she got used to his presence. Lu Lingxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking a little shy, and whispered: "Brother Yan, I miss you too. Mom made dumplings today, with your favorite pork and green onion filling, and garlic-mixed eggplant, but Brother Dong ate them all when you were not here."
Hearing the boy say that he missed him, Yan Yue felt like he was in heaven. He couldn't believe what he heard, and for the first time he showed a dull expression in front of Lu Lingxi. As for what Dong Qi ate later, it was no longer the key for Yan Yue.
Yan Yue took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car. Lu Lingxi stood in front of him obediently. Yan Yue resisted the urge to hold the boy in his arms, and reached out to rub his hair vigorously, trying to erase all the scent left by Dong Qi.
Lu Lingxi frowned and grabbed his hand, complaining softly, "Your hair is all messed up."
Yan Yue's eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and his pupils seemed to be filled with a faint light. He looked down at the boy, one hand on the boy's head, the boy's hand holding his hand, and the hands folded together made him tremble with sweetness.
Wang Shuxiu's voice came from a distant window, "Where did the little bastard send someone to?"
Lu Lingxi almost subconsciously shook off Yan Yue's hand and turned to speak. Yan Yue quickly grabbed him and whispered before he could speak: "Xiao Xi?"
"Huh?" After being interrupted, Lu Lingxi didn't bother to answer Wang Shuxiu, but looked up at Yan Yue first.
Yan Yue lowered his eyes slightly and said in an unusually gentle voice: "Xiao Xi, I want to be alone with you for a while."
Lu Lingxi blinked, somewhat bewildered. He could tell that Yan Yue didn't want Wang Shuxiu to know that he was here. Although he didn't understand why, he nodded. However, he said with some embarrassment, "I have to go back now, otherwise my mother will worry."
Yan Yue curled his lips and patiently coaxed Lu Lingxi, "Wait until mommy falls asleep, Xiaoxi, are you willing to come out and accompany me?"
Lu Lingxi nodded quickly.
Yan Yue smiled with satisfaction and forced himself to let go of Lu Lingxi's hand.
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and trotted back with Dahei.
Inside the house, Wang Shuxiu looked at him curiously and asked, "Why did you go out for so long?"
Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at Wang Shuxiu. He drifted away and whispered, "Dahei doesn't want to come back. He wants to run outside for a while."
Dahei, who was squatting at his feet, whimpered softly, protesting his poor excuse with some grievance.
Wang Shuxiu didn't understand what Dahei meant, and believed what Lu Lingxi said. "Dahei is really frustrated at home, you can take him out for a run when you have time in the evening. Okay, go take a shower."
Lu Lingxi thought that she would have to go out soon, so she hesitated and said, "Mom, you wash first."
Wang Shuxiu pushed him in and said, "You go first and take off your clothes and throw them in. I'll throw them in the washing machine later."
Lu Lingxi had no choice but to take a shower, change into the pure white cotton shorts and light-colored T-shirt that Wang Shuxiu prepared for him, and go back to the house. Wang Shuxiu was still cleaning up outside, and Lu Lingxi wanted to read a book, but he couldn't calm down. He walked around the house twice nervously, and hesitantly sent a text message to Yan Yue.
"Brother Yan, are you still there?"
"exist."
This simple word made Lu Lingxi calm down immediately. He sat on the bed with his knees bent, holding his mobile phone and sending a text message to Yan Yue.
"Mom hasn't gone to bed yet. She's still cleaning the house."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Lu Lingxi smiled faintly, and he and Yan Yue chatted back and forth. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Shuxiu knocked on the door outside, reminding him to go to bed early, and she was going to bed first. Lu Lingxi agreed in a panic, and his heart suddenly began to beat rapidly. He didn't understand what was going on. He was just going out to chat with Brother Yan, why did he feel like he was going to do something bad?
Soon there was no movement in the living room. Lu Lingxi opened the door and listened for a while. Wang Shuxiu seemed to be asleep. He walked to the door quietly, squatted down and said to Dahei who had been following him, "Dahei, don't scream. Stay at home obediently."
Dahei rubbed against his arms somewhat unwillingly. Lu Lingxi patiently stroked Dahei's head and promised, "I'll be back soon."
After coaxing Dahei, Lu Lingxi gently opened the door and ran out. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he saw Yan Yue leaning against the wall at the door of the building. He was a little surprised, "Brother Yan, you are not in the car?"
Yan Yue looked at his refreshing look, with a smile on his face, and said softly, "I'll pick you up." After he said that, he naturally reached out and held Lu Lingxi's hand. Lu Lingxi didn't react and was led by him into the car. The two of them didn't sit in the front but squeezed into the back seat. Yan Yue explained that he was afraid that someone would come back late and see someone in the car and scare them. The glass of the back seat was black, which just covered the figures of the two.
Lu Lingxi did not doubt Yan Yue's words. He also felt that it would be bad if someone saw him sitting in the front and told Wang Shuxiu.
The smile in Yan Yue's eyes deepened. The boy's obedient appearance made him unable to help but reach out and rub the boy's hair. The touch of his palm was a little moist, and it could be seen that the boy had just taken a shower. He faintly smelled the fragrance of plants and trees on the boy's body. Although he would smell it occasionally, it had never been as clear as this time.
Yan Yue was a little curious, "Xiao Xi, what kind of shower gel do you use?"
Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed and whispered, "Milk shower gel." After he said that, he raised his arm and smelled it, "Is there still a smell? I rinsed it several times." The scent of the shower gel was chosen by Wang Shuxiu. Lu Lingxi protested several times, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Wang Shuxiu.
A strange color flashed across Yan Yue's eyes, and then disappeared very quickly. He was sure that the fragrance of plants and trees he smelled was definitely not his illusion. However, when he saw Lu Lingxi wrinkling his nose like a little puppy and smelling the smell on his body, he threw all the fragrance of plants and trees behind his mind. He had to use all his self-control to control himself from pressing the boy under him and kneading him hard into his arms.
Lu Lingxi sniffed for a long time but couldn't smell anything. He met Yan Yue's amused eyes and put down his arm shyly. "Brother Yan, are you going to take a vacation?" Lu Lingxi asked, thinking about what he had been busy with all day.
Yan Yue shook his head, smiling, "There's still half a month left."
Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. "Didn't we say it would be the end of August? It's already the beginning of September. Isn't it okay to take a vacation like this?"
Yan Yue looked at him with a meaningful look, "It's okay, there are more important things than work right now."
"What?" Lu Lingxi asked subconsciously.
Yan Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at him with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Lu Lingxi's heart inexplicably stopped and the tips of his ears turned red.
