2. Want to go home
8.
After returning home, Fu Xingzhi went back to his study to handle his official business. This man is really dedicated. Even a dullard like Lin Can would think about dating on weekends, but he never rests.
At seven o'clock in the evening, which was their agreed dinner time, Fu Xingzhi finally walked out of the study.
Lin Can asked him: "Why are you always so busy?"
Fu Xingzhi smiled and said, "If I'm not busy, what will you eat and drink?"
Lin Can said "Oh" and sat down at the dining table. He propped up his head and thought about something. After thinking for a long time, he asked Fu Xingzhi in a fanciful way: "Are you not going to fall in love in the future?"
This question made Fu Xingzhi stunned for a moment. He lowered his eyes, and many images flashed through his mind. Finally, he raised his head and said casually, "Maybe."
Lin Can was used to reading for some time after dinner. In fact, Fu Xingzhi had an astonishing collection of books at home, so he didn't need to go to the library to borrow any. It was just that he wanted to see Li He and was looking for an excuse.
Fu Xingzhi, who rarely did not immediately go about his official duties today, came over to take a look and asked, "Are you reading Pride and Prejudice?"
He had a lot of thoughts in the library during the day, but unfortunately he met someone who didn't understand romance. He had a lot to say but no one to talk to. Now he knew who to talk to.
“I love this story.”
"Why?"
“Because this story has a happy ending.”
Fu Xingzhi smiled softly and agreed, "It's indeed a rare happy ending."
He could see that Lin Can was very fond of this story, so he suggested, "I have a French translation in my bedroom, would you like to take a look?"
Lin Can's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned around to look at Fu Xingzhi with stars in his eyes.
“I’m learning French right now!”
Fu Xingzhi extended his hand to him and said, "Follow me."
He stretched out his hand, and Lin Can took it, as if everything was so natural.

Fu Xingzhi's bedroom is very large, with an entire wall of books next to his bed, filled with precious collections that he rarely shares with others.
He raised his hand slightly and reached the top shelf of the bookshelf, and took down the French version of "Pride and Prejudice". The cover was made of dark red calfskin and was surrounded by a circle of gold hot stamping. It looked ambiguous and romantic under the dim light.
Lin Can sat on the carpet and Fu Xingzhi sat on the bed. The former picked up the book and flipped through two pages. It was a pity that his French level was not enough to read a novel from beginning to end.
"Can you read it for me?" He handed it back to Fu Xingzhi.
He knew that Fu Xingzhi spoke French very well, with pure pronunciation and intonation.
Fu Xingzhi recited slowly, his voice low and light, like the whisper of the wind, and slowly lifted Lin Can up.
Lin Can lay on his knees, her eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and with Fu Xingzhi's overly gentle voice, she fell asleep on his legs without any precautions.
Fu Xingzhi put down the book, looked down at the bulge in his suit pants, and suppressed the desire in his heart again and again.

It was the ringing of a bell that woke Lin Can up.
He found himself sleeping in his own bed. It must be Fu Xingzhi who carried him back home. This happened several times.
The cell phone was buzzing. Lin Can picked it up with sleepy eyes and looked at it, and instantly became alert.
It was Li He who called him!
Lin Can immediately became nervous and carefully clicked the answer button. The noisy music hit his eardrums directly.
"Li He? What do you want from me?"
The other party was in a noisy environment and could not hear what he said at all. He just shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lin Can, do you want to play?"
"Huh? Where are you?"
Li He gave an address, which was a bar, and then hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Lin Can hesitated for a moment, trying to decide between Li He and the rules set by the family, and finally knocked on Fu Xingzhi's bedroom door.
Fu Xingzhi changed into his pajamas and looked like he was about to go to sleep. He asked, "What's wrong?"
After a long mental struggle, Lin Can finally asked, "Can I... go to the bar now?"
He remembered the pain that Fu Xingzhi hadn't hidden in his lowered eyes, and he also remembered him saying, "Protect yourself. That's all I ask of you."
Lin Can got into the car nervously and arrived at the door of the bar. It was a world full of lights and wine, a world he had never set foot in before.
But for Li He, he was willing to give it a try.

Lin Can took a lot of effort to find Li He. He was sitting in a booth, surrounded by a group of men and women he didn't know.
He couldn't say that being covered in tattoos was a sign of being a bad person, nor could he casually comment on the girls' bold attire. He could only say that this place made him uncomfortable.
Li He was sitting in the corner smoking a cigarette. When he saw Lin Can coming over, he patted the seat next to him and said, "Come here and sit here."
He sat down obediently. A man with nails all over his face sat beside him and asked jokingly, "Hey, did you really call him here?"
"Call them over to play together."
Li He exhaled a puff of smoke, leaned close to Lin Can's ear and asked him, "Would you like something to drink?"
It was quite gentle, and it made Lin Can feel half of his body numb.
Lin Can stammered, "Juice."
The three girls sitting across from me all laughed. "Little boy, are you of age? You don't come to the bar to drink juice."
Lin Can's ears turned red from laughing, and his neck shrank into his collar. Li He also laughed at him: "Stop kidding, have a drink."
"But I can't..."
Li He looked a little unhappy. "If you don't want to drink, then what are you doing here?"
Lin Can's head was dizzy. He thought that he couldn't let Li He down again. Li He was giving him a chance now.
He didn't know what happened afterwards. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. The alcohol quickly took effect in his body, and the blush spread from his neck to his cheeks.
He vaguely remembered that before he left, Fu Xingzhi said to him: "Protect yourself. This is my only request of you."
The lights in front of him were particularly dazzling, and there were noisy sounds and screams in his ears. Lin Can wanted to tell Li He that he didn't like this place and he wanted to go home, but he didn't dare.
Li He was looking at him, smiling so tenderly at him, which was rare. He even whispered in his ear, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Lin Can nodded dazedly, and heard the laughter of the people around him.
And in the midst of the chaos, someone said, "That's enough, you two should get back to business."
There was only one sentence left in his mind: Fu Xingzhi, come and take me home.
