Chapter 8 Conflict
Jiang Boyun is now an upper-class person, and naturally he is surrounded by beautiful women. He was seen wearing an Italian handmade suit, with a young and beautiful female companion on his arm, selecting jewelry under the introduction of the clerk, and he was only a few steps away from Lu Yan and them.
Yu Zechuan followed Lu Yan's line of sight and his pupils shrank uncontrollably for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Boyun to appear here. The next second, a strong hatred burst out from his eyes, so strong that it almost condensed into substance, but was forcibly "suppressed" by Lu Yan.
"Phew, do you want him to find you?"
Lu Yan held Yu Zechuan firmly against the display cabinet in the corner. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. The thin clothes could not block the burning body temperature of the two. The deliberately suppressed voices sounded as if they were doing something shameful: "If Jiang Boyun finds out that we are together, he will be furious..."
Not sure if it was intentional, but Lu Yan pronounced the last three words particularly unclearly. Yu Zechuan felt his ears go numb for a moment, and he almost swallowed his soul.
Yu Zechuan wanted to push Lu Yan away, but it was not convenient for him to do so in public, so he could only lower his voice and scold, "Let go!"
Lu Yan raised his eyes and estimated Jiang Boyun's position, and found that their current position was somewhat dangerous. Because the display stand could not stop the two of them, but if they went out directly with the things, it would definitely attract Jiang Boyun's attention.
Lu Yan quietly hugged Yu Zechuan's waist and whispered like a lover: "Follow me."
Yu Zechuan only felt the place where he was holding was burning, and struggled hard: "Where do you want to go?"
Lu Yan smiled and said, "Of course I'll take you out. Do you want to face him and let him find us?"
The clerk saw their intimate behavior but pretended not to know. With good professionalism, he continued to promote the new products of the season with a smile: "Sir, you can take a look at this watch. It happens to be a couple's watch with the one you just bought..."
Yu Zechuan always felt that the clerk seemed to have seen through something. He secretly tried to pry Lu Yan's hands open, while lowering his head to avoid the vague gazes from people around him. He clenched his teeth, but he didn't know whether it was because he was afraid that Jiang Boyun would find out or for some other reason.
Lu Yan held Yu Zechuan in his arms as he walked between the display cabinets as if nothing had happened, pretending to pick out clothes for him. Every time he did so, he was able to avoid Jiang Boyun's inadvertent glance at him. To outsiders, they looked like a pair of intimate homosexual lovers, and they were just glanced at and passed by.
Jiang Boyun inexplicably felt that the back of one of the men looked familiar, and couldn't help but frowned.
"General Jiang? General Jiang?"
The woman next to him called out to him several times: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Boyun came back to his senses: "Oh, nothing, how about it, have you picked out the necklace?"
The female companion looked at herself in the mirror. She had three exquisite gemstone necklaces on her slender white neck. She said in a distressed tone, "I don't have any. Can you help me choose?"
Jiang Boyun had no choice but to patiently help her choose.
Seeing Jiang Boyun turn around, Lu Yan signaled the clerk to pack up the goods and whispered to Yu Zechuan, "You can leave now."
After he finished speaking, he took the shopping bag with his left hand, held Yu Zechuan in his right hand and left the store directly. However, he had just taken a few steps when he was unexpectedly pulled into the corner of the street and pushed heavily against the wall.
Yu Zechuan realized something when he was about to leave. He held Lu Yan's shoulders and narrowed his eyes dangerously under the brim of his hat: "You seemed very afraid of me meeting Jiang Boyun just now?"
Lu Yan was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face: "Why do you say that?"
"Is what I said wrong?" Yu Zechuan curled his lips coldly: "Why, are you afraid that I will kill him?"
No, I'm afraid you'll kill me too.
Fearing that this would arouse suspicion, Lu Yan made up a reasonable excuse: "I am doing this for your own good. Don't you want to take revenge on Jiang Boyun? If he finds out now, wouldn't that be a big fuss?"
It was a reasonable excuse, but it was not enough to dispel Yu Zechuan's doubts. He was about to say something when a furious voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"What are you doing?!"
It’s Jiang Boyun!
Yu Zechuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around, but his waist suddenly tightened and Lu Yan pressed him tightly into his arms. Above his head, he heard the man's slow and steady voice greeting him: "It turns out to be President Jiang. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Jiang Boyun felt that Lu Yan's back was very familiar when he was in the store just now. When he saw him turn around and leave, he couldn't help but chase him out. Unexpectedly, when he turned the corner, he saw a scene that made him furious.
Jiang Boyun clenched his fist silently, and his sharp eyes fell on the man whose face Lu Yanhuai couldn't see clearly, as if he wanted to stare through him: "Who is he?"
I don't know if it's human nature, but Jiang Boyun ignored Lu Yan when he was chasing after him before, but now that Lu Yan seems to be distancing himself from him, he becomes unwilling to accept it.
"he?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, then realized belatedly that he was referring to Yu Zechuan. He smiled and lowered his head to kiss the corner of his eye: "My boyfriend."
Yu Zechuan's pupils contracted. Even though he was wearing a mask, he could still feel the warmth of Lu Yan's warm lips brushing against the corners of his eyes. Jiang Boyun was staring at them not far away. This absurd realization made Yu Zechuan unable to control himself and clench his fingertips.
Jiang Boyun's eyes were filled with even more chillness: "Lu Yan, you've been trying to break up with me these past few days just because of him?!"
Jiang Boyun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He felt as if his face had been torn off by Lu Yan and thrown on the ground and stepped on. It was nothing but humiliation.
Lu Yan calmly corrected him: "General Jiang, what do you mean by breaking up? We have never been together, and I have never liked you."
Lu Yan was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. Who could resist beating him up? Jiang Boyun couldn't resist anyway.
"Lu Yan, are you kidding me?!"
Jiang Boyun was furious and grabbed Lu Yan by the collar, raising his fist to hit him. However, before he could do anything, a huge force suddenly hit his arm, nearly crushing his bones. A slow voice rang in his ears: "This is a public place. You don't want to go to jail, do you, Mr. Jiang?"
Yu Zechuan pronounced the word "jail" extremely slowly and with great hatred, and his voice was hoarse due to the fever, so it had long lost its former distinctiveness.
Jiang Boyun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the man in Lu Yan's arms had grabbed his shoulders at some point. He was wearing a black baseball cap and a mask, and his eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hat brim and could not be seen clearly. However, the terrifying feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake still spread throughout his body in an instant.
Five years in prison was enough to grind a piece of white jade into a dagger. Even Yu Zechuan himself could hardly recognize himself, let alone Jiang Boyun. He was so painful that his face turned pale and he had no choice but to let go of Lu Yan: "Who do you think you are! It's not your place to point fingers at me and him!"
No one knows how much Yu Zechuan wanted to pull out the knife from his pocket and stab Jiang Boyun's throat in the mall just now. He caused Mr. Yu to have a heart attack and ruined Yu Zechuan's originally glorious life. With two lives on his shoulders, he could still wear a suit and go shopping with his female companion.
But with people coming and going around him, Yu Zechuan could only suppress the hatred in his heart. He stared at the jealous anger in Jiang Boyun's eyes, and suddenly his mind echoed with what Lu Yan had said:
"Guess, if we were together, would Jiang Boyun be furious?"
Will you be furious?
The answer is obvious, Jiang Boyun is almost angry to death.
Yu Zechuan suddenly felt a little happy, happy and funny. He pulled Lu Yan to his side with his backhand. His voice was a little hoarse because of the fever, but the provocation was still clear: "Lu Yan, he said I have no right to comment on your relationship?"
Lu Yan was quite interested: "Of course you do, baby."
Yu Zechuan was very satisfied with this answer, which made him selectively ignore the disgusting name at the end and asked coldly: "Do you like me or him?"
Lu Yan always answered the life-threatening questions very well. He reached out and pulled Yu Zechuan into his arms, smiled and whispered in his ear: "You are the only one I like."
Their eyes collided in the air, one gentle, the other cold, producing a deadly effect like some kind of poison, which in the eyes of others appeared to be full of affection.
Jiang Boyun's face turned pale as he watched from the side. He was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He held his breath for a long time before finally uttering a word in a cold tone: "Lu Yan, you are great!"
There was no doubt that if the situation allowed, he would rush over and tear Lu Yan to pieces alive.
Lu Yan also thought he was great. He caught a glimpse of a graceful figure chasing out of the store from the corner of his eye and smiled at Jiang Boyun: "Mr. Jiang, we are the same. No one should criticize anyone."
"We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Lu Yanyu stopped hugging Yu Zechuan and turned around and left. He stopped a car on the roadside and went home, completely ignoring Jiang Boyun.
The female companion came out of the store holding her skirt and saw Jiang Boyun standing there. She couldn't help but complain in a soft voice: "Jiang Boyun! What are you doing? I haven't even chosen my necklace yet, why are you running away? You're so annoying!"
Jiang Boyun quickly wiped his face when he heard the voice. When he turned around again, his expression had adjusted. He smiled gracefully and said, "Sorry, I just saw two friends and said hello. Let's go in and choose again."
The female companion in front of him was not some woman of pleasure, but the apple of the eye of a business partner. For some unknown reason, this pretty lady was particularly attached to Jiang Boyun and seemed to have some feelings for him. No matter how much the Ren family objected, it was useless.
Jiang's mother was old, and she kept saying that she hoped Jiang Boyun could carry on the family line. Under pressure, he couldn't refuse, so he could only accompany her out shopping.
Lin Anni snorted: "This is just the first time. I won't come out if you do this again. It's really annoying!"
Jiang Boyun could only patiently coax the other party and returned to the store, but his eyes were still fixed on the direction where Lu Yan left. In addition to anger, there was also an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
After Lu Yan and Yu Zechuan got in the car, they did not go back to the apartment directly, but went to a nearby shopping mall. Facing Yu Zechuan's puzzled gaze, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm tired after shopping for so long. Why don't we have dinner outside before going back?"
Yu Zechuan thought of what had just happened in public, and inexplicably felt as if his brain was possessed by a ghost. He was still flustered. He tilted his head to look out the window, and his fingertips on his knees unconsciously rubbed for a moment, frowned, and uttered two words: "Whatever you want."
The taxi stopped at a nearby shopping mall. The sky had just gotten dark, but the neon lights were already lighting up one after another.
Lu Yan and Yu Zechuan randomly chose a restaurant and sat down. Someone was playing melodious piano music on the display table in the middle. The warm light invisibly dispelled the coldness of the night, making people's tense nerves relax unconsciously.
The waiter came up with the menu and asked politely, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
Lu Yan looked at Yu Zechuan who was sitting opposite him and said, "Take a look and see if there is anything you like to eat."
Yu Zechuan closed his eyes indifferently and raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat: "I'm not hungry."
He had been in prison for too long and was somewhat out of touch with society. This warm and lively place made every cell in his body feel strongly uncomfortable, and his frown never relaxed.
Especially after Yu Zechuan took off his mask, the waiter couldn't help but glance at the ugly scar on his face. Then he got a cold and cruel smile from Yu Zechuan: "Does it look good?"
The waiter looked away in panic: "Sorry, sir."
Lu Yan was equally cautious. He was currently playing the role of a secret admirer. If the dishes he ordered did not suit Yu Zechuan's taste or stepped on his minefield, he would definitely be exposed.
What does Yu Zechuan like to eat?
Lu Yan absentmindedly flipped through the menu, and inexplicably recalled the lunch box he had that day, which contained a portion of matcha cake and a dish of stir-fried pork and green peppers with all the shredded pork removed.
Does Yu Zechuan like stir-fried pork with green peppers? If he likes it, why doesn't he eat the green peppers? If he doesn't like it, why does he buy it?
What if he just likes the meat in stir-fried pork with green peppers?
Lu Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea. Finally, he closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter: "Hello, order."
Never mind, let’s take a chance.
The waiter lowered his head and wrote down with a pen and paper: "What can I do for you?"
Lu Yan: "Two servings of matcha cake."
Waiter: “Anything else?”
Lu Yan secretly stared at Yu Zechuan across from him: "One serving of stir-fried pork with green peppers."
The waiter paused and said, "Sir."
Lu Yan: “Hmm?”
Waiter: “This is a cafe.”
Lu Yan: “…”
