Chapter 50 Surprise
Yu Zechuan is a bad-tempered person. There are some things you can do without his permission, but there are some things that must be done with his permission. Obviously, settling a bill and stealing a kiss cannot be compared.
He came back to his senses from the shock and grabbed Lu Yan by the collar. Because of his anger, his cold and fair face was stained with a layer of beautiful red, and his eyes were full of hostility: "Lu Yan, what the hell do you mean?!"
His teeth were gritting and it was obvious that he was about to lose control and hit someone.
Lu Yan seemed not to notice Yu Zechuan's shock and anger. He put one hand around his waist, then slowly tightened it and coaxed him in a low voice: "Mr. Yu, please don't be angry."
He said simply, "I saw other people kiss each other goodnight when they are in love, so I kissed you."
When he smiled, his eyes were crooked, and his eyelashes were long and thick. He was so handsome that it seemed like a sin to talk to him loudly. His tone was filled with worry: "This is my first time kissing someone. Did it make you uncomfortable?"
It turns out they were all first kisses.
“…”
Yu Zechuan felt inexplicably choked upon hearing this, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth suddenly could not come out. Only the warm touch on his lips remained, drilling into his heart, and his cheeks felt hot as if they were burning.
Lu Yan had never seen Yu Zechuan like this before, lively, bold, like a fire burning wantonly, even his anger was full of vitality. Of course, the other party must be feeling more frustrated now.
"Mr. Yu, it's getting late. I'm going upstairs first. You should go to bed early too."
Lu Yan was depressed and didn't care after lighting the fire. But he didn't turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets, smiled and slowly backed away. The dark blue night and warm yellow street lights behind him became a gentle background. He didn't turn around and walk into the apartment until the shadow swallowed his figure.
Yu Zechuan stood there, and it took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. He couldn't help but wipe his face fiercely, feeling that he hadn't been so embarrassed in many years.
The driver couldn't help but quietly peek outside to see the excitement, but was discovered by Yu Zechuan, who glared at him coldly: "What are you looking at?"
The driver was startled and quickly looked away: "Mr. Yu, I just wanted to ask when we'll leave."
Yu Zechuan glanced at his watch and frowned: "Go back to the old house."
The black car drove away, making a slight noise in the darkness, and then disappeared at the end of the road with a whoosh.
When Lu Yan returned to the apartment, Jiang Kangkang was lying on the sofa playing with his phone. Seeing Lu Yan coming back, he said in surprise, "Master Lu, you still remember to come back. I thought you had to stay out all night."
Lu Yan thought he was asleep, so he threw the key on the entrance and said while changing his shoes, "That won't work. It's not good to leave you alone in an empty room."
Jiang Kangkang rubbed the goose bumps on his arms with a twitching face: "I'm a straight man, I don't have that hobby, don't come over here."
He couldn't help but ask, "Did you go out with Manager Jiang tonight?"
Lu Yan asked back: "Do you want to hear it?"
Jiang Kangkang immediately perked up: "Listen, listen, listen!"
Lu Yan smiled and held out his hand to him: "One story is 500 yuan, 3,000 yuan for a month, 30,000 yuan for a year, which package do you want to order?"
“Bang!”
Jiang Kangkang directly slapped his hand down: "You are such a jerk. Forget it, I don't even want to hear it."
Lu Yan poured himself a glass of water: "I am called frugal and thrifty, and I am brave enough to explore the road to wealth... It's already early in the morning and you are still not asleep, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get up for work tomorrow?"
Jiang Kangkang burst into laughter: "Lu Yan, you are crazy. Tomorrow is the weekend, who would go to work?"
Lu Yan subconsciously glanced at his phone and realized that today was already Friday, and he had days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. No worker dislikes weekends, and Lu Yan was no exception. He took a hot bath and went straight to bed to sleep comfortably.
Little did he know that while he slept soundly, the other person suffered from insomnia.
Yu Zechuan has always had headaches, but because he has been taking medicine for many years, his condition has been relatively stable. I don't know what happened during this period, but I started to have nightmares at night. The pictures were fragmented and could not form a story. There were no ghosts, but they made people feel cold.
Sometimes it was a late night with heavy rain, lightning and thunder.
Sometimes it is a hand holding a dagger, covered in blood.
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
It was the sound of the bathtub overflowing.
A man's body was submerged in a white bathtub. His face could not be seen clearly. There was a sharp wound on his throat. Countless blood gushed out and flowed along the edge of the bathtub into the sewer.
Yu Zechuan breathed rapidly, trying hard to see who was holding the knife. However, when he looked up, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, illuminating the face of the "murderer".
“Boom——!”
Those were a pair of sinister and murderous eyes. There was a dark scar running down the right side of the man's face, which looked hideous and frightening, like a desperado who had just emerged from prison.
That face was familiar to Yu Zechuan to the core, yet also strange to him to the core. He widened his eyes in shock, breathing rapidly, and couldn't believe that the murderer would be himself!
“Boom——!”
There was another slow and dull thunder, as if it was going to tear the sky apart.
Yu Zechuan sat up from the bed as if he had received an electric shock, and finally woke up from his sleep. He tilted his head to look out the French window, and then he realized that it had been raining outside without knowing when. The sky was dark, and the rain was noisy, as if it was going to soak the entire city.
Yu Zechuan's chest heaved. He threw back the quilt and walked slowly and barefoot to the floor-to-ceiling window. The cold temperature of the floor penetrated his skin, but he stared outside like a madman without moving.
The glass window was covered with winding water droplets. As he got closer, Yu Zechuan could even see his own face clearly. The outline was blurry, but the eyes were full of hostility, exactly like the man in his dream.
How could this happen?
Why do I have such a dream?
Yu Zechuan couldn't figure it out. He closed his bloodshot eyes and tried his best to dispel the murderous intent brought from the dream. Suddenly, a doubt arose in his heart -
Whose body is that lying in the bathtub?
Yu Zechuan returned to bed and tried to fall asleep again, but he couldn't fall asleep. He had always been an atheist, but he had this kind of dream so many times that he felt like he was haunted by evil spirits and even thought about whether he should go to a Buddhist temple to worship.
The phone on the pillow suddenly vibrated. Someone called Yu Zechuan at the exact time he woke up. He opened his tired eyes and thought it was Lu Yan, the vixen, but the caller ID showed it was Jiang Boyun.
Yes, the company has held several high-level meetings recently. Jiang Boyun was caught making many mistakes and has been demoted. It would be abnormal for him not to call me.
Yu Zechuan sat up and leaned against the bed. He waited for the phone to ring several times before he slowly answered it. His voice was indifferent and impatient, but it didn't seem much different from before. "Hello?"
"Zechuan, it's me." Jiang Boyun's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "I called you at the time you usually wake up, I hope I didn't wake you up?"
Yu Zechuan lowered his eyes calmly: "I woke you up, what's the matter?"
His lack of respect made Jiang Boyun very embarrassed. He wanted to pretend to show some concern, but he couldn't say anything. "It's nothing. You haven't come to work for a week and you don't answer the phone. I was a little worried, so I called to ask."
Yu Zechuan knew that his real intention was not to drink, and he said sarcastically, "What else?"
Jiang Boyun was completely unaware that he had fallen into Yu Zechuan's trap and that his every move was controlled by him. He stammered, "Zechuan, the chairman held a meeting two days ago and said that we didn't promote Rongbo's land well enough, so he demoted me..."
Yu Zechuan chuckled, but it was not because of Jiang Boyun's wolfish appearance, but because he was laughing at his own stupidity in the past. This man's intentions for profit were almost written on his face. Why did he feel that Jiang Boyun was reliable?
"I know about this. Since the chairman has said so, you should stay in that position for a while and then be transferred again when the time is right."
Everyone can lie, even Yu Zechuan can.
Jiang Boyun was obviously relieved when he heard this and tried to connect with him: "Do you have time today? How about we have dinner together?"
Yu Zechuan refused directly: "I don't want to go out on a rainy day."
Jiang Boyun smiled good-temperedly: "Yes, the road conditions are bad on rainy days. I'll make an appointment with you when the rain stops. It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
Yu Zechuan: "We'll talk about it when the time comes."
He hung up the phone and threw it aside. He wanted to continue sleeping, but he suddenly remembered something and picked up the phone again. The time displayed on the screen was half past six.
Yu Zechuan frowned. Jiang Boyun knew to call and say hello, but why didn't Lu Yan make any move?
He absentmindedly tapped the screen, thinking of Lu Yan's secret kiss last night. His originally cold face turned slightly red, and he secretly hated it in his heart:
Who gave Lu Yan the guts to kiss me? He even said it was his first time kissing someone. He is clearly a habitual offender!
However, no matter how unbalanced Yu Zechuan felt, he had to admit that today was the weekend and few workers would get up so early. He had no choice but to put his phone under his pillow and force himself to sleep, checking the messages every once in a while.
Lu Yan was unaware of Yu Zechuan's torment and slept until noon. Jiang Kangkang had gone back to his hometown to visit his parents, so he was the only one left in the apartment. There was yesterday's leftover takeout on the table, which was a mess, very consistent with the living conditions of two single men.
Lu Yan made himself a cup of instant coffee to wake himself up, then lay down on the sofa and took a nap. When he tilted his head to look outside, he realized it was raining.
In his previous life, he always died on rainy days. The continuous rain was wrapped with an unspeakable sense of fate, as if soaking his soul and every piece of flesh and blood, and the bright sunshine was also dripping water.
It’s so cold and so melancholy that I can’t describe it.
But fortunately, fate has changed.
Lu Yan suddenly remembered something and took out his cell phone to play with it for a while, then put it back after a few minutes.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zechuan finally woke up. He opened the list on his mobile phone, only to see that the message bar was still empty. He couldn't help but frown.
Yu Zechuan was not the type to swallow his anger. He raised his eyebrows coldly and made a direct call. The call rang for a long time before it was finally connected.
"Hello?"
Lu Yan's slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. Perhaps he couldn't understand why Yu Zechuan suddenly called him, "Mr. Yu, why is it you?"
Yu Zechuan felt even more depressed, and his lips were pursed into a straight line: "Are you going to rest at home today?"
Lu Yan said honestly: "Today is the weekend, I have a day off."
Yu Zechuan's tone was like he was interrogating a prisoner: "What time did you wake up?"
Lu Yan glanced at the time and said uncertainly, "It's probably noon. I just woke up less than two hours ago."
Yu Zechuan: “…”
Yu Zechuan became even angrier, and he had a lot to ask, why did you wake up so late? Why didn't you send him a message as soon as you woke up? Why are you so ignorant?
Yu Zechuan spoke coldly, not allowing any refusal: "Come out to have dinner with me at six this afternoon."
Lu Yan hesitated for the first time: "Six o'clock...maybe not a good idea."
Yu Zechuan heard this and tightened his grip on the phone: "Why?"
Lu Yan said: "I have to have lunch with a friend at noon, so I don't have much time today."
Yu Zechuan laughed in anger. He thought Lu Yan was really bold. He had only been with him for a few days, but he dared to flirt with a vixen outside. He asked without being able to hear his emotions, "What friend is so important?"
The tone was low and dangerous, like the calm before a storm.
Lu Yan said as a matter of course: "My boyfriend."
Yu Zechuan's face changed, and he suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "What?"
He clearly heard Lu Yan laugh on the other end of the phone. His voice was deep and magnetic, but was soon drowned out by the noisy rain. "Come downstairs, Mr. Yu."
He said unexpectedly, "I'm at your door. Would you mind inviting me to lunch and a movie?"
Yu Zechuan was really stunned because he had never told Lu Yan his address. He ran to the balcony to see if Lu Yan was lying to him, but he found that the garden was too big to see the entrance, so he had to put on a coat and hurried downstairs.
Yu Zechuan came out in such a hurry that he didn't even take an umbrella. He walked quickly towards the security booth. However, he didn't see Lu Yan's figure after searching for a long time in the blurry rain. Instead, he was soaked all over and couldn't help sneezing.
Yu Zechuan frowned fiercely, realizing that he had been deceived. He stood under a landscape tree to avoid the rain, and could not hide his anger even through the microphone: "Lu Yan, how dare you lie to me?!"
What he hates most in his life is being lied to! What he hates most in his life is being lied to!
Lu Yan seemed surprised: "Mr. Yu, you don't really believe it, do you?"
Where in the world is there someone as stupid as Yu Zechuan?
When Yu Zechuan heard this, he clenched his teeth instantly, because the sadness brought by this sentence far exceeded the anger. He felt that his trust had been betrayed. He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Lu Yan, do you believe it or not..."
Before he could utter the threatening words, an umbrella suddenly and silently appeared above his head, blocking the rain that leaked through the branches and leaves, separating the world from the dry one.
Yu Zechuan only felt a heat source suddenly approaching from behind him, and heard the man's interested voice in his ears. The hot breath fell on his earlobes, itching like a feather brushing against his ears:
"Believe what?"
Yu Zechuan was stunned, and turned around in surprise, only to see Lu Yan with one hand in his pocket, looking at him with a smile. The chill brought by the rain gradually faded away, dispelled by the burning temperature of the other person, leaving only a joking voice:
"Oh~ I understand. Mr. Yu, are you trying to say that Xiao Lu is very trustworthy and reliable?"
Yu Zechuan did not answer, thinking about something else.
He actually came.
