Chapter 60: Be cruel to others, be even crueler to yourself
The principal looked at the two people in front of him who were on the verge of a fight, and thought to himself, weren't Lu Shiyan and Gu Yian friends for many years?
Why did you suddenly turn against me?
Were they going to start a fight in his office?
He couldn't resist that, because he couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he could only put on a smile, keep wiping the cold sweat from his head, and respectfully send the two big Buddhas away. Then he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was exhausted.
From the moment Lu Shiyan appeared, Fu Ci's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, especially when he saw that his brother still protected him as always. He was ecstatic and couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth.
The haze that shrouded my eyes and the depression that had accumulated in my heart seemed to disappear in an instant.
His brother still came after hearing that he was in trouble. Does this mean that his brother still has him in his heart?
Does my brother still like him?
His brother's coldness and alienation towards him during this period must have his reasons, right?
These questions kept lingering in Fu Ci's mind, making him eager to get a definite answer so that his anxious heart could calm down.
Unfortunately, there was someone who was blind and insisted on asking him all sorts of questions. Fu Ci pushed Ji Lin away impatiently and said, "I'm fine. I want to go home with my brother."
The concern on Ji Lin's face froze for a moment. Fu Ci had fought with those thugs because of him, and he protected himself very well throughout the whole process as if he was risking his life.
He was grateful for the concern for his injury, but how could he be so cold and ungrateful?
Gu Yian looked at his arrogant and heartless cousin in front of him, and he actually showed a look of loss. When he thought of Ji Lin's defense of Fu Ci in the principal's office just now, his heart suddenly lifted.
"Ji Lin, you wouldn't fall in love with that bad boy, would you?"
Ji Lin's thoughts were exposed by this word, and his fair and pretty face instantly turned red. He looked away, and looked at the tall and straight figure walking in front of him, hesitatingly said: "Brother Yi An, no... no, I just want to thank him for protecting me."
They spoke quite loudly, and their words were also heard by Lu Shiyan and Fu Ci who were walking in front. Lu Shiyan paused slightly, then continued to leave as if nothing had happened.
Fu Ci quickly chased after him and hurriedly explained, "Brother, I don't like him."
"He's the one who keeps pestering me. I only like my brother."
Lu Shiyan looked at him meaningfully. Even now, Fu Ci was still a little fool who knew nothing. He didn't realize what love was and was not attracted to Ji Lin.
But they are the protagonists, so the predetermined ending should be unchangeable, right?
When Lu Shiyan thought of this, he felt that Fu Ci and that inexplicable feeling were like a joy he had stolen, unreal and fragile.
A strong desire for exclusivity stirred in his heart, but in the end he just closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "I'll take you home."
Seeing Ji Lin's love blossoming, Gu Yian had no idea what to understand. His dark eyes were filled with anger as he looked at him and said firmly, "Ji Lin, you can't like him."
"Why?" Ji Lin's heart trembled suddenly, and he asked excitedly: "Is it because he is a little fool with low IQ?"
"It doesn't matter. I have money. I can support him."
Gu Yian was horrified to find that he had no idea when Ji Lin had fallen so deeply into the situation.
"No, he's not stupid, he's just pretending to be stupid."
Seeing Ji Lin's look of disbelief, Gu Yian continued, "Besides, he's very skilled. Those hooligans just now were no match for him at all, so you don't have to be grateful to him."
"Don't even need to fall in love with her."
After a long while, Ji Lin finally found his voice, his voice flustered and helpless, "But why is he pretending to be stupid?"
Gu Yian looked at Lu Shiyan and Fu Ci who were about to leave the school gate and sneered, "You want to know?"
“Follow me!”
Lu Shiyan came directly from the company after receiving the principal's call. He was driving his own black Rolls-Royce. Fu Ci, sitting in the passenger seat, carefully observed his stern expression. His Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I really don't like him."
Just then the car stopped at a traffic light. Fu Ci suddenly leaned over and kissed Lu Shiyan's soft lips hard. As their lips and teeth intertwined, they whispered, "I only like you."
Lu Shiyan's tense expression also relaxed because of this sudden kiss and confession, and he responded subconsciously. As a result, this made Fu Ci, who was already uneasy, even more ecstatic, and the passionate and lingering kiss instantly turned into a strong plunder.
Lu Shiyan wanted to stop him, but Fu Ci pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Brother, you don't even look at me and are so indifferent to me. I'm so sad."
The black Rolls-Royce started again, but instead of heading towards the Lu family manor, it turned and drove onto another secluded road with few people.
Gu Yian glanced at Ji Lin, whose face was pale and whose hands were tightly gripping the seat belt, and said with cold anger, "Now you know why I don't let you like him?"
"Fu Ci pretended to be stupid just to get closer to A Yan and deceive A Yan."
"Let me tell you this, he's a complete lunatic. He's cruel to others and even crueler to himself!"
"Apparently, you and Ayan were both fooled by his superb acting skills."
Gu Yian told Ji Lin what happened at the Shen family dinner that night, hoping that he would wake up soon.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to freeze, leaving only Ji Lin's rapid and panicked breathing. Gu Yian did not rush to leave, but just asked him, "Do you still want to follow?"
He didn't expect that Lu Shiyan was deceived by Fu Ci after all, so he passed the news to Shen Hanxiao as soon as possible. Seeing that Shen Hanxiao didn't believe it, he could only tell him where they were going. People will only believe it when they see it with their own eyes.
Ji Lin shook his head with red eyes. They suddenly turned and went to a secluded and deserted road. It was obvious what they were going to do.
So what's the point of following?
The passionate and lingering kiss just now was enough to make him face the reality, but he couldn't accept the fact that Fu Ci liked Lu Shiyan for the time being.
No wonder he kept drawing his brother and treated him like a treasure, not letting anyone see or touch him.
Poor guy, he still treated him as a poor little fool. Not only did he give up the idea of playing with him, he also tried every means to be nice to him and left his true heart on him.
Two strings of tears burst out from Ji Lin's eyes. It was the first time he liked someone and wanted to be good to him, no matter if he was a fool or not. Unfortunately, in the end, he was just a part of his PLAY. The funny thing was that he was so wishful thinking that he didn't even realize it.
So this is what heartache feels like, it really hurts...
