Chapter 68 Happy New Year, Aye!



"Back then, Han Su and the capitalists behind him didn't want Zhang Yuanhe to become famous, so they plotted to frame him. But many people still believed in Zhang Yuanhe's character, and Zhang Yuanhe has been looking for evidence to prove himself."

"Han Su and others realized that things were not going as they expected, so they hired someone to assassinate Zhang Yuanhe. Zhang Yuanhe had no choice but to enter the Island of the Dead to escape the pursuit."

Lin Yusheng felt angry as she listened, "Then why can't Teacher Zhang come back?"

"Slave Island isn't a place anyone can just come and go as they please." Lu Zhengye's tone was icy, and he exuded a murderous aura.

Lin Yusheng felt that Lu Zhengye was very different from before.

"What kind of place is the Island of the Dead?"

As soon as Lin Yusheng said that, not only Lu Zhengye, but also Wei Qing in the passenger seat exuded a sense of disgust.

Lu Zhengye chuckled and said, "Even if I describe that kind of place to you, I'm afraid it will offend your ears."

Lin Yusheng's heart skipped a beat, but Lu Zhengye grew up in a place like this.

She leaned over and took Lu Zhengye's hand.

A look of doubt flashed in Lu Zhengye's eyes.

Lin Yusheng said to him, "Flowers can bloom even in mud, just like you and Wei Qing."

Lu Zhengye was taken aback. He stared intently at Lin Yusheng, wondering if she meant what she said.

But apart from heartache and teary eyes, Lin Yusheng showed no other unusual expression.

Wei Qing couldn't help but wipe away tears as she recalled the past.

...

Three o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yusheng pushed away Lu Zhengye, who was still lingering on her, her voice trembling with tears, "No more, I have to catch my flight back tomorrow morning."

Lu Zhengye paused, but Lin Yusheng couldn't see his expression in the darkness.

"Don't you have a holiday?"

Lin Yusheng shook her head, "The crew was delayed a few days ago due to some equipment problems, so none of us had a day off. I have scenes to film tomorrow afternoon, so I really can't."

Lu Zhengye paused for a moment before reaching out to turn on the small desk lamp.

"Are you stupid? If you care, just give me a call, and I might not have to go see it."

Looking at his somewhat angry face, Lin Yusheng suddenly smiled, realizing that all the hardships along the way had been worthwhile.

She opened her arms and hugged Lu Zhengye, burying her head in his chest. "But I didn't just come back because I was jealous. I also wanted to come back to spend New Year's Eve with you."

If she doesn't come back tonight, Lu Zhengye will most likely be alone in this huge house, watching the fireworks outside.

He would imagine the lively reunion of other families, and then a deep sense of loneliness and sadness would arise in his heart.

Lin Yusheng's eyes reddened. She raised her hand to stroke Lu Zhengye's brow bone, and then stroked from the brow bone down the bridge of his nose to the tip of his nose.

During the journey, she could hear the changes in Lu Zhengye's heart rate.

"I don't want you to feel out of place in the crowd. You've already suffered a lot, and from now on you deserve to be happy every day."

Lin Yusheng watched as Lu Zhengye, such a cold and hard man, reddened his eyes and then devoutly kissed her forehead.

She couldn't see if he was crying, but she knew he must have been deeply moved.

Lin Yusheng refused Lu Zhengye's request to take a bath together.

Lu Zhengye went in after she finished washing.

Lin Yusheng opened her phone and saw that she had received many New Year's greetings and red envelopes from relatives and friends on WeChat.

She first told Pei Shushu about her return to Lucheng, so that she could be mentally prepared for the next day.

Then I sent Lu Zhengye a New Year's red envelope.

As soon as Lu Zhengye came out, Lin Yusheng smiled and showed him her phone.

Lu Zhengye sat down next to her and turned on his phone.

He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that Lin Yusheng had sent him a red envelope.

That laugh almost made Lin Yusheng laugh herself to death.

She hugged him from behind and said, "Aye, you look so beautiful when you smile. Can you smile more often?"

"Tell me first, why did you send me a red envelope?"

Red envelopes are clearly given by elders to younger generations for good luck.

Lin Yusheng said, "I want to wish you a happy new year."

Just as Lin Yusheng had expected, no one from the Lu family gave Lu Zhengye a red envelope. If they wouldn't give one, then she would. She couldn't leave Lu Zhengye out.

Lu Zhengye lowered his head and smiled, his feelings both complicated and sweet.

Lin Yusheng urged him, "Hurry up and get it."

"good."

Lu Zhengye obediently accepted it.

Lin Yusheng was finally satisfied and let go of him, then pulled back the covers and went to bed.

Lu Zhengye turned around and saw her patting the pillow next to him, signaling him to go to sleep.

Lu Zhengye lay down, then opened the bedside table drawer and took out a black card.

He handed it to Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng was flattered and said, "I don't need it, I have plenty of money."

Lu Zhengye forcefully shoved it into her hand, saying, "What's yours is yours, what I give you is a separate deal."

Lin Yusheng smiled, "Then I'll accept it."

"Um."

In Country A, a black card can only be applied for if an individual's assets reach 2 billion. It's impossible for Lu Zhengye to just casually produce a black card by relying solely on Shenggan.

But Lin Yusheng wouldn't ask him; after all, everyone has secrets.

After the lights were turned off, Lu Zhengye said again, "There's something I think I should tell you."

"good."

"Deng Xingwen has been rescued."

After her initial shock, Lin Yusheng felt angry. "Who is it? Lu Zechuan?"

Deng Rongfan may have some money, but he absolutely cannot get someone out of jail.

Lu Zhengye said, "To be precise, it's Xie Yuqiong."

Lin Yusheng couldn't understand, "Why?"

"I don't know." Lu Zhengye's expression was also quite solemn. "But Xie Yuqiong is good at using others to do her dirty work. Be careful and bring bodyguards wherever you go."

Lin Yusheng nodded. She hadn't missed the dark circles under Lu Zhengye's eyes today. She said, "Okay, go to sleep quickly."

"Um."

After the two tucked themselves in, Lu Zhengye asked again, "What time is our flight tomorrow morning?"

"Seven o'clock." Lin Yusheng was already a little sleepy.

After hearing Lu Zhengye say, "I'll take you there," she fell asleep.

*

The next morning, Lu Zhengye took Lin Yusheng to the airport.

Lin Yusheng was wearing a mask and a hat.

Lu Zhengye helped her straighten her clothes and said, "Take a nap on the plane. If you're really too tired, you should take a day off."

"Okay, I can do it. Don't overwork yourself."

Lu Zhengye curled his lips into a smile.

Lin Yusheng said worriedly, "You can't go to see Jiang Yanqi alone while I'm not by your side."

“Okay.” Lu Zhengye agreed with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection.

Lin Yusheng almost drowned in it. She stood on tiptoe and said, "Give me a kiss."

After saying that, Lin Yusheng remembered that she was wearing a mask.

She was about to say no, but Lu Zhengye closed his eyes and kissed her.

Feeling each other's temperature through their masks, both of them felt a jolt in their hearts.

Lin Yusheng entered the airport, turning back every few steps.

She felt a pang of sadness and discomfort in her heart.

She had only just separated from Lu Zhengye, but she already missed him.

Upon realizing this, Lin Yusheng was startled.

Wasn't this relationship originally a transaction where both parties got what they wanted?
