Lu Yu's dark eyes glanced at Lin's parents, noticing that one had a serious face and the other a kind smile.
He immediately realized that Lin's father was still angry, but dared not lash out because of his presence, which could be considered as agreeing to his demands.
"Sit down, Lu Yu. What are you standing there for? Come on, come sit with Auntie."
"Oh, no, I should call her Mom."
Lin's mother beckoned to the boy she thought was the most handsome to sit next to her, as their two families had been friends for generations.
Although she didn't know at the time that he actually liked boys, she was quite accepting of it. After all, there are many gay people living quite happily abroad.
"Yes, Mom. I will treat Lin Xiao well. He is the person I love the most."
Lin Xiao blushed, feeling a little uncomfortable with his teasing.
"What?! You're being so mushy! But what about that thing?!"
"Liu Yang hasn't been caught yet. He's definitely hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to take the bait!"
Thinking about what they said yesterday—that Lan Tian had been released on bail while Liu Yang had fled—he felt uneasy.
“Son, this is all my fault. I should have told you about your identity sooner. Now you…”
Seeing that Lin's father was about to speak, Lu Yu stopped him, saying that too much time was being wasted. He felt that something was missing.
"We already know. It's just that too many things have happened recently. This exposure is just a small matter. I estimate that there will be bigger moves later."
"Liu Yang, I remember he's Liu Dong's younger brother, isn't he? Liu Dong has already been arrested, so why won't he let us go?"
There weren't many people present, but Situ Nan, Zhang Lili, and Lu Pei were all there.
When Situ Nan heard Lu Yu mention Lu Pei's boss, he was somewhat surprised, because he had noticed that Lu Pei's face had remained completely indifferent from the moment they met.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and gritted his teeth. He really didn't know what to say, that there were such people in real society.
He'd be considered a monster, I suppose; he can't let his friends worry, but...
“I guess we all know what you’re thinking. And you shouldn’t have kept it all hidden. Besides, I remember you told us that, right?” Situ Nan smiled and pressed Lin Xiao’s shoulder firmly, trying to suppress his unease.
Situ Nan was the smartest member of the Situ family, and he knew all about his friend's speculations and anxieties.
In addition, this person is someone I quite like, so no matter what he does, I will help him.
A gaze was fixed on him, and when they met, it was an eye that seemed to hold the depths of an abyss.
Situ Nan awkwardly lowered her hand and glanced away. This person really was a jealous person, even jealous of such a small matter!
Lu Pei tossed a meatball into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then noticed that Lu Yu's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was about to flare up again, so he coughed for a while.
Meeting Lu Pei's gaze, he was just saying he wanted to warn her not to do anything reckless. Only then did her anger subside.
The meal was not enjoyable; Lin Xiao observed the actions of the others. His black hair swayed with the ebb and flow of his emotions.
He didn't tell him that he didn't have much time left, so he couldn't waste any more time or do anything reckless.
"Something terrible has happened! Gu Tianyu has been hit by a car and is in the hospital. He keeps calling your name. What should we do?"
If someone has just come back from the restroom and their phone keeps ringing, they know something must have happened.
