Chapter 37 He Missed Zhou Yan
It was clearly a summer afternoon, but Lin Xu broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?" Han Jingyi asked nervously when he saw that Lin Xu didn't look well.
"Ah, it's okay." Lin Xu lowered his head in panic.
"Thank you for your hard work today. I have nothing to thank you for. When you come again tomorrow, please bring the contract with you," said Mr. Feng.
Lin Xu asked uncertainly, "Don't you need to look at the design before deciding?"
Mr. Feng smiled and shook his head. "No need. I trust your vision. Let's sign the contract first. Go back and give me the drawings as soon as possible. We'll make some changes if they're not suitable, and I'll start work on the ones that are. If you delay any longer, I don't know if I can still enjoy it."
Rongrong's grandfather glared at him: "You old fellow, you're so outspoken. How can you say such nonsense?"
Old Feng glanced at him angrily: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, okay?"
"Okay, then we'll go back and prepare, and come to see you with the contract tomorrow." Han Jingyi stood up and said goodbye to Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng asked the housekeeper to take back a portion of tea for each of them.
Mr. Feng contracted the tea garden when he was young, and he is still the largest shareholder now. He has a piece of land that produces tea that he drinks himself and gives to relatives and friends.
Lin Xu and Han Jingyi thanked him and left.
Lin Xu remained silent all the way.
Han Jingyi suddenly asked, "Did you also notice something was wrong?"
Lin Xu pursed his lips and didn't answer.
Han Jingyi continued, "Mr. Feng and that old lady—he's never married. Is it because of him?"
Seeing that Lin Xu still didn't speak, Han Jingyi raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "That's why I say, never fall in love with a straight man. If it's just for fun, then it doesn't matter, but once you fall in love, you will be the only one who suffers."
Lin Xu forcefully waved Han Jingyi's hand away: "Can you play with love? Do you think everyone is like you guys?"
"Why are you really angry? Didn't I remind you kindly? Forget it, let's not talk about this. What do you want to eat tonight?"
Han Jingyi didn't expect Lin Xu to react so strongly when he mentioned this matter, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Eat shit!" Lin Xu felt very upset and took out all his anger on Han Jingyi who was bringing up irrelevant issues at this critical moment.
Lin Xu rushed back to the hotel, closed the door and leaned against it.
I tilted my head back to stop myself from crying.
But he felt so uncomfortable.
Mr. Feng’s experience frightened him.
I fell in love with my friend, but couldn't take it a step further. I watched him get married and have children, and enjoy the happiness of family life, but I could only bless him as an outsider.
He even considers his children more important than himself.
This humble and helpless love made Lin Xu feel panic and despair.
If he couldn't forget Zhou Yan, would he also take this path?
Lin Xu held the beads on her wrist.
Only he himself knows that this is simply deceiving himself.
After two days away from Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's face was all in his mind.
The way Zhou Yan cooked for him, the way Zhou Yan walked around the house shirtless after taking a shower, the way Zhou Yan stood in the crowd in a suit and tie, the way Zhou Yan protected him in the haunted house...
Even Zhou Yan looks so handsome when he smokes.
The photos and videos in the album became his bedtime reading material for the past two nights.
Zhou Yan's appearance in his life was not earth-shattering.
But it filled his entire life like a silent rain.
He became omnipresent in a very short period of time, making it impossible for Lin Xu to get Zhou Yan out of his mind.
Lin Xu seemed to have lost all his strength, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, sighing.
The cell phone suddenly rang. Lin Xu grabbed it and took a look. His hand shook and the phone fell on his face.
Zhou Yan sent a video call.
The phone hit Lin Xu's face and hit the answer button directly.
Lin Xu hurriedly got up and picked up the phone.
"Brother...Zhou?"
Zhou Yan's handsome face filled the entire screen, and the moment he saw Lin Xu, his expression brightened.
"Why didn't you call me brother after not seeing me for two days? Why did you change to Brother Zhou?"
"Ah? No, I didn't expect you to send me a message. I was shocked." Lin Xu's face was a little hot, and he didn't dare to look directly at Zhou Yan on the phone.
Zhou Yan stared at the screen for a long time.
After not seeing each other for two days, he really missed Lin Xu.
So I video called him as soon as I got in the car after get off work.
Looking at Lin Xu's background, we can tell that he was in the hotel room and lying on the bed. Now he is sitting on the bed with messy hair.
Zhou Yan's hands felt inexplicably itchy, and he really wanted to reach out and tidy up his messy hair.
But he found that Lin Xu was in a bad mood and didn't even smile at him.
"What's wrong with you? Did I wake you up?"
"No, I just came back from a client's place. Maybe I'm a little hot." Lin Xu explained listlessly.
Zhou Yan, who had experienced Lin Xu's heatstroke before, immediately became anxious: "Are you feeling dizzy? Do you want to vomit? Is there a hospital nearby?"
Every time Zhou Yan was so nervous about him, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"No, I don't have heatstroke. Look, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while." Lin Xu finally plucked up the courage to look at the screen.
The hands holding the phone tightened.
He missed Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan was in the car, probably just got off work.
"Are you ready to go home? Do you have any social engagements today?"
"No, I pushed him and he went straight home."
"Oh, then you drive carefully, I--" Lin Xu was worried that it was unsafe for Zhou Yan to talk on the phone while driving, so he was about to hang up.
Zhou Yan didn't know why, but he didn't want to hang up the phone, so he said directly: "Are you busy? If you are not busy, just talk to me."
"Huh? I'm fine, but you're so distracted while driving."
"I'll put you in the passenger seat, just like you sit there every day, without distractions."
Lin Xu opened his mouth, but still couldn't refuse Zhou Yan.
"Well, be careful."
Zhou Yan actually put Lin Xu in the passenger seat, and he laughed after doing so.
This was the first time he had done such a childish thing, but he just wanted to talk to Lin Xu.
"Just keep lying there. I just need to hear your voice."
As Zhou Yan spoke, he started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
"I heard from my colleagues that there's a famous flower market over there. Since you love growing plants so much, why don't you go and have a look?"
Zhou Yan held the steering wheel and actually started chatting with Lin Xu in the passenger seat.
Since he couldn't see Lin Xu from this angle, Lin Xu relaxed and lay back on the bed and said, "No, the plants here won't survive well if we take them back. Don't harm them."
Zhou Yan's eyes were gentle: "In your world, it seems that these plants are alive."
Lin Xu said without hesitation: "It is alive. It grows taller, blooms, and gets sick. It is alive."
"That's not what I meant." Zhou Yan laughed.
"I see. You mean I'm raising them like 'people'? They have their own personalities and habits, and their temperaments are different. They're not much different from humans."
"What about the basin you gave me? What kind of character does it have?"
