Chapter 13
Hearing that Shi Yu liked flowers, the old man seemed to have finally found a soulmate. He was willing to let him visit his carefully built garden and even specifically told him not to get pricked by thorns. It was the first time he was so nice to a stranger. After all, he had a good impression of Shi Yu from the very beginning.
"You are so absent-minded when I ask you to play chess with me. Why don't you go down and accompany him?" Old Master Yun was very dissatisfied with this and looked jealous.
Yun Linai, who had been lost in thought, finally withdrew his gaze and began to observe the chess game. He couldn't help but say in a relaxed tone, "Let him bask in the sun to replenish his calcium. That's good too."
Shi Yu was listening attentively to the florist's explanation of flower care knowledge at this moment, and was completely unaware of the gaze coming from the study on the second floor.
“Although the soil is fertile, weeds tend to grow nearby and we will come to clean it up regularly.”
Listening to the florist's explanation, Shi Yu nodded in confusion and followed them to clean the weeds. He squatted down again and again as if he was tireless. He didn't care about the sweat on his forehead, and he didn't mind the black dirt on his hands. When he threw the weeds into the basket for the last time, he was about to say: "I'm done here--"
"You pulled out the seedlings that had just been planted."
A sudden laugh made Shi Yu stop abruptly. The unclear tone sounded extremely terrifying, because the sudden sound made his body gradually tremble, reminding him of that shuddering cold night.
He kept pulling weeds with his back to the man. The sun made his forehead sweat a little, and the shadow cast by the sun slowly covered Shi Yu's back. Every step seemed like the arrival of the god of death.
Shi Yu closed his eyes tightly, his lips trembling unconsciously. He knew that his legs couldn't move at all due to fear. Just when he was about to be recognized, a clean and gentle voice came over, with a smile at the end: "Children like to play, just pull it out."
Zheng Xiao shifted his attention away from Shi Yu. Yun Lin'ai slowly got off the wheelchair, walked past him without a glance, walked up to the child, gently held up the other's hands, and wiped the dirt off his hands without any hesitation.
He deliberately lowered his voice to a low, magnetic tone, as if he only wanted the child to hear: "You've got your hands dirty playing with flowers."
Although the words were clearly blaming, there was no complaint or irritation in his tone. Zheng Xiao suppressed his anger at being ignored and laughed: "I was wondering why Lieutenant Yun suddenly asked for a month's leave. It seems that he is not recuperating from his injuries, but is pregnant."
Yun Lin'ai spoke calmly, not even giving Zheng Xiao a glance. Instead, he stared at Shi Yu's eyes, which were still filled with shock and panic. Without changing his expression, he said, "Thank you for your concern, Warden Zheng. However, this doesn't seem to have any bearing on you. After all, it's more important to take care of your own affairs."
This sentence hit the nail on the head for Zheng Xiao. Because he had been making too many moves in the alliance, several people from the Supervisory Office submitted a letter of complaint, which resulted in him being suspended for three days and writing an 8,000-word self-examination. That was why he had nothing to do and was eventually sent by the chairman to deliver gifts. Otherwise, why would he have received such a disastrous rejection?
The housekeeper also followed Zheng Xiao's instructions and walked over to him. "Mr. Zheng, this is the master's private garden. You can't enter without his permission. Also, he hasn't been feeling well lately, so he won't be seeing any guests today."
After hearing this series of rhetoric, Zheng Xiao knew that this was an attempt to get rid of him, but he maintained his composure. "I'll leave the gift here for now. After all, it's a kind gesture from the chairman, and the supplements are perfect for consumption. Since the old man isn't feeling well, I'll come visit him another day."
After Yun Lin'ai cleaned Shi Yu's hands, he said "Goodbye", and took him to the pool.
The only sound in his ears now was the cold sound of water. When his fingertips touched Shi Shiyu, he pulled back. Then he heard Yun Linai ask, "Is the water too cold?"
Shi Yu turned his head and looked at his profile in astonishment. Because he was slightly bent over, the sunlight only shone on his black hair. His facial features were hidden in the dark, but so clear.
He shook his head and let Yun Lin'ai pull his hand to clean the dust on his palm. His fingertips were a little rough, and they would always set off an electric current when they passed across his palm. The four hands touched and overlapped inadvertently, and the impact of the water flow slightly eased Shi Yu's pounding heart.
"He...why is he here?"
In order to hide his panic, Shi Yu lowered his head and asked.
Yun Lin'ai didn't let go of Shi Yu's hands. He picked up the tissue beside him and carefully wiped away the water stains. Even through the thin layer of tissue, Shi Yu could still feel the warmth of the other's fingertips.
He glanced at where Zheng Xiao had left, his eyes passing over Lu Yichuan's expression of bewildered melon, and answered honestly, "I don't know."
Shi Yu stared at him with wide eyes, an expression of "How could you not know?" However, he did not notice the slightly raised corners of Yun Lin'ai's mouth. Instead, he lowered his eyelids and said silently: "I thought he saw through me."
"No." Yun Lin's gentle voice drifted in the wind, telling Shi Yu calmly and gently.
"I won't let him take you back."
Although Shi Yu's fever showed signs of subsiding, he had no appetite after suffering a stomach attack. He was the first to put down his chopsticks at every meal. The old man liked to be lively and often ate with these young men, so he quickly noticed Shi Yu's condition. If Qin Yue hadn't stopped him, he would have almost dragged him to the hospital.
"Grandpa, I am a doctor. Don't you believe me?" Qin Yue was speechless.
Yun Zhi glanced at him, feeling somewhat relieved, but then, like any worried elder, asked, "What if I can't eat anything?"
"Don't worry, this symptom will be gone in a few days!"
The elders always have their reasons. When encountering health problems, they are always more anxious than doctors. Qin Yue is no longer surprised. Shi Yu is a little flattered. Even his biological mother has never cared about him so much. A grandfather who has no blood relationship with him would even be anxious because he can't eat.
My heart is almost full.
An hour after dinner, Shi Yu was about to wash up when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and found the kitchen lady smiling at him, "The housekeeper specifically ordered a glass of milk for each guest in the evening. It's good for your stomach and helps you sleep. You didn't eat much during the day, so go and drink it."
With his hand warmed by the cup of warm milk, Shi Yu took it helplessly and drank the whole cup of milk under the concerned eyes of his aunt. Then the empty cup was taken away. The milk was fragrant and it did warm his stomach a little after drinking it.
But what he didn't notice was that just upstairs from the guest rooms, the door of a room was opened a crack. With the help of the dim light, he observed that the cup that Shi Yu took was completely empty, then he quietly retreated and closed the door softly.
The next morning, Yun Lin'ai went out at Shi Yu's usual time, but didn't see him. Instead, he was greeted with Lu Yichuang's complaints: "Uncle, please don't give anyone milk tonight. It's too hard to drink."
The housekeeper working in the kitchen looked over in confusion: "When did I arrange for milk?"
Lu Yichuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing where his thoughts had flown. He muttered nervously, "Is there someone in this family trying to poison me?"
Just as he was about to explode, Yun Linai grabbed the newspaper on the table and slapped his arm: "Yes, I was the one who wanted to poison you."
Lu Yichuan examined the man in front of him for a few seconds, dismissing the possibility that he was really trying to poison him. Then, thinking back to the few things that had been wrong with Lieutenant Yun over the past few days, Lu Yichuan, who was always on the lookout for the spoilers, suddenly understood and plopped down next to Yun Linai. "You weren't making up an excuse to get us all to drink, just so he could drink alone, were you?"
Yun Lin'ai's face was expressionless as he slowly stated, "Your brain has improved."
That meant he admitted it. Lu Yichuan said everything and slammed his hand on the table angrily, "Brother, I knew you were interested in him!"
The other party seemed to have found a soulmate, and his tone was full of anticipation: "When are you going to tell him? Can I be there?"
Yun Linai pushed the head that leaned over and poured a basin of water to completely extinguish his gossipy heart. "I'm not going to say it."
This sentence made Lu Yichuan frown. He was very confused and asked, "You want to become a monk?"
Yun Lin'ai looked at him with eyes as dark as an opaque light. He seemed to be standing by the matter and calmly told Lu Yichuan a fact: "Don't forget, he still doesn't know my identity."
Lu Yichuan didn't understand the connection between the two, but Yun Lin'ai said, "Zheng Xiao is Yun Che's man. If he knew I was the chairman's son, what do you think he would think?"
The chairman built the Omega Prison, and by relying on his connections, he was able to make Shi Yu, who was innocent, accept the painful imprisonment instead of his brother. He almost died in there. Anyone would hate the person who broke this invisible rule.
As the son of the founder, almost everyone thinks that Yun Lin'ai is as hypocritical as his father, and is just a good person who is good at disguising himself. How can they pretend that all this does not exist?
Because of his father, his identity will never be viewed with kindness.
In the past few years, he has rescued quite a few Omegas from prison. Many people think that he is no different from those Alphas, and is just imprisoned in another cage. It was not until Yun Lin'ai personally arranged and gradually expanded the management of Area 116 that they let down their guard.
Only Shi Yu was different. Yun Lin'ai admitted that she had the urge to take him home since the first time she saw him. The moment she knew that they were a good match, she was not relieved but afraid.
He is afraid that the other party will think that his intentions are impure, and he is afraid of seeing the other party running away from him.
Lu Yichuan began to fall silent, but suddenly heard a bitter laugh in his ear. He only heard Yun Lin'ai say to him: "I won't even be able to see him."
