Chapter 88: Knowingly committing a crime is aggravated
Lin Xu suddenly realized it while taking a shower.
He was almost stunned by Zhou Yan's sugar-coated bullets and was almost fooled by him.
No matter what, even if it was out of good intentions, Zhou Yan's behavior was deceptive.
He could accept Zhou Yan's original intention of wanting to protect him, but he didn't want Zhou Yan to bear everything alone.
As lovers, partners, or even friends, you should discuss things together when encountering problems.
What's the matter with him acting on his own? What do you think of him?
What would happen if he still handles similar situations in this way in the future?
So he must not be allowed to get away with it so easily. Lin Xu decided to let him calm down and reflect on his own machismo.
Zhou Yan came out of the shower and laughed out loud after seeing the message.
Lin Xu was indeed harder to fool than he had expected, and his bowl of clay pot rice ended up in the stomach of this heartless little guy.
Zhou Yan wiped his hair and knocked on Lin Xu's door: "Are you really not coming over to sleep with me?"
Lin Xu replied decisively: "No."
"I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days."
"Yeah, I miss you too. Go back to sleep and see you tomorrow." Lin Xu was determined not to be moved by his sweet words.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, Zhou Yan put his forehead against the door and said, "Xu Xu, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Lin Xu was silent for a few seconds, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
"Where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have lied to you."
"What else?"
"I shouldn't have distrusted you. I shouldn't have excluded you from the situation."
Zhou Yan held the door handle and thought that the worst thing he should have done was to buy a bedroom door with a lock when he renovated the house.
Lin Xu sniffed aggrievedly: "You still know."
Seeing that Lin Xu seemed to be relenting, Zhou Yan continued, "It's not that I think you're incapable of handling this matter with me. I just don't want you to have anything to do with your ex-boyfriend. Xuxu, can you understand me?"
Lin Xu's heart was shaken.
He quickly covered himself with the quilt to prevent himself from opening the door and throwing himself into Zhou Yan's arms in the next second.
"You are committing a crime knowingly and willfully. Go back to sleep!" Lin Xu shouted in a bluffing tone from under the quilt.
Zhou Yan smiled helplessly. He was usually easy to coax, but he was really stubborn when encountering problems.
But tonight is indeed not a good time. He has been severely sleep deprived these days and needs to rest.
"Okay then. It's cold at night, so cover yourself with a blanket and don't catch a cold. Good night." Zhou Yan knocked on the door gently and went back to rest.
Only after hearing Zhou Yan's footsteps leaving behind the door did Lin Xu crawl out from under the quilt.
In fact, there was another important reason why he rejected Zhou Yan today, besides asking him to face the fact that they had to face difficulties together.
The two people are so familiar with each other that the only thing left is to decide what to do and what not to do.
After sleeping together for so many days apart, both of them had this idea, so it was natural to continue.
But they were not prepared at all.
How could he have bothered to prepare these things these days? Zhou Yan was a straight man, so it was even more impossible for him to know what to prepare.
There is nothing at home. If the two of them lose control tonight and end up in an awkward situation, it will be the end of it.
Zhou Yan has never been with a man, and Lin Xu is not sure whether he will be with a man. For a straight man, this first time is of great significance.
Lin Xu wanted to be fully prepared and leave a perfect memory for both of them.
So now I have to grit my teeth and endure it.
Lin Xu strengthened his belief, rolled over and fell asleep.
As long as Zhou Yan is at home, Lin Xu feels at ease, whether they are in the same room or not.
Both of them had the most sound sleep they had in half a month.
Zhou Yan was woken up by a phone call.
He had been away for half a month and there were a lot of things piled up in the company that needed to be dealt with. After he answered the phone, he got up and prepared some breakfast for Lin Xu.
Without disturbing Lin Xu's rest, he left a note on the dining table and went out.
Lin Xu woke up not long after he left and looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock.
Lin Xu opened the door and found that Zhou Yan was not at home. He instantly became alert after seeing the note on the table.
Zhou Yan went to work overtime, which gave him just enough time to prepare.
Today is Saturday and tomorrow is a day off, so tonight is simply the perfect time and place!
Lin Xu quickly finished his breakfast, took off the sheets and pillowcases from both rooms, put them in the washing machine, and replaced them with new bedding.
Then he changed his clothes and went out to buy tools for committing the crime.
Not to mention some essential items, Lin Xu also carefully selected aromatherapy that can relax the mind and relieve stress, and bought a bouquet of flowers on the way back.
The room was filled with the clean smell of laundry detergent, and the bouquet of flowers on the coffee table was perfectly decorated, blooming freely in the sunshine.
Lin Xu cleaned every corner of the room and played romantic and soothing music on the speakers in the living room.
The house, which seemed lifeless a few days ago, felt even more homely after Lin Xu finished decorating it.
He put all his things in Zhou Yan's bedside table so that they could be easily accessed.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. Lin Xu started to feel nervous from noon.
He ran to the balcony and muttered to his plants.
"You guys have to wish me all the best tonight. This is related to my happiness for the rest of my life."
Of course, the plants would not respond to him. This was just Lin Xu's habit of venting his worries over the years.
These plants are the best listeners. They don't speak and won't reveal their thoughts to anyone.
Lin Xu was secretly talking about his nervousness when the doorbell suddenly rang.
The doorbell at home rarely rings.
There is no risk of forgetting to bring keys with a fingerprint lock, and Zhou Yan rarely orders takeout at home, so who could it be?
Lin Xu walked to the door and looked at the video screen. There was a woman outside the door.
He looks to be in his fifties, a little plump, and has a face that looks like a stranger.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Lin Xu asked through the door.
The woman said directly: "I am Zhou Yan's mother."
Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat.
The hand gripping the door handle tightened nervously.
He was very familiar with this scene.
This happened last time the Shen family wanted to kick him out.
Lin Xu's heart was pounding and his hands and feet turned cold instantly.
He didn't know why Mother Zhou came.
Is he simply here to visit his son, or has he found out about their affairs and wants to come and call them to account?
He didn't even dare to open the door and face it.
But Lin Xu still plucked up the courage to open the door.
Anyway, this is Zhou Yan's home, and the person outside is Zhou Yan's mother.
He was unhappy that Zhou Yan took on everything by himself instead of facing it with him. So now, no matter what Zhou's mother's intention was, he had to be braver and stand with Zhou Yan.
"Hello, Auntie." Lin Xu took a deep breath, opened the door, greeted Mother Zhou with a smile, and took the box from her hand.
Jin Xiuting looked Lin Xu up and down, unable to smile, and just nodded.
Lin Xu felt disappointed when he saw that her expression was not friendly.
Under normal circumstances, parents would not be so cold to their children's roommates. After all, two people should always take care of each other when they are outside.
I guess Zhou's mother already knows his identity.
Lin Xu tried to calm herself down, took out a pair of new slippers from the shoe rack and put them on the floor. "Auntie, please come in and sit down first. Brother Zhou is working overtime at the company. Does he know you're here? Should I give him a call?"
Jin Xiuting put on her slippers and walked into the house, saying, "No need to call him. I'm going to see my son's boyfriend."
