Chapter 63: Jinjiang alone My heart is waiting for you to live...
The rain outside the window kept falling, and the rain and fog formed lines on the glass.
Jiang Chen assigned today's schedule to Lu Mingxuan. He only had some easy work to do, with almost no exercise. He started yawning in the morning and was bored until the end of the day.
Lu Chiyuan was determined to take Lu Mingxuan to the event. When it was almost time to get off work, Lu Mingxuan tried to ask Jiang Chen for permission, but the result was still the same.
Jiang Chen was very depressed, not knowing what went wrong. Could it be that Lu Chiyuan was still angry about the fight? But he had clearly coaxed him back that day.
Moreover, Xia He said that Lu Chiyuan helped him vent his anger, and he didn't seem to hate him at all.
"Assistant Jiang, it's time to get off work. Why aren't you leaving yet?"
After Lu Mingxuan finished his work, he saw that Jiang Chen's office door was still open. He looked at his watch and was a little surprised that he was late leaving get off work today.
Jiang Chen was absent-minded. He looked at the drizzle outside the window and said, "I haven't booked a car yet. I'll book one and go back."
It was rush hour after get off work and it was raining, so it was difficult to get a taxi near them.
Jiang Chen didn't want to go downstairs, so he just sat there for a while.
Lu Mingxuan asked in confusion: "It's raining today, you didn't drive?"
Jiang Chen lazily lay on the table and said listlessly: "No, I went back home yesterday and stayed overnight. The driver from my family brought me here this morning."
Lu Mingxuan didn't know much about Jiang Chen's family situation, but when Lu Chiyuan asked him to investigate, he vaguely found out that his family was well-off and had business dealings with their company.
However, Jiang Chen is very low-key in his daily life. Apart from the limited edition car he drives, there is really no trace of a rich second-generation in other aspects.
Hearing him mention his family affairs, Lu Mingxuan said casually: "Then why don't we just ask the driver to pick you up?"
"I'm not going back to my parents' place. They have work to do and are flying to City A today."
The driver must go along too.
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, a figure appeared at the door.
Lu Chiyuan is tall and slender, dressed in a suit and tie, meticulously dressed from head to toe. With his cold face, he gives people a strong sense of distance.
He was a little surprised to see Jiang Chen, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Jiang Chen didn't want to pay attention to him, and turned his head away, pretending he didn't hear. Then he thought it was not a good idea to do this in the company, so he replied stiffly: "Wait for the bus."
Lu Mingxuan took the opportunity to explain Jiang Chen's words "waiting for the bus" in detail.
Knowing that Jiang Chen met Jiang's parents alone and stayed at Jiang's house, Lu Chiyuan was surprised. He knew that Jiang Chen was nervous in front of Jiang's parents, and thought that Jiang Chen would feel uncomfortable meeting them, but now it seems that he has adapted well.
"No need to wait, I'm leaving soon and can take you back." Lu Chiyuan turned around and said to Lu Mingxuan, "You know his address, send the clothes to me later and pick me up there."
Lu Mingxuan said everything was ok and there was no problem.
Jiang Chen was turning off his computer. He didn't react when he heard this, but just complained silently in his heart.
【Who wants you to send it! 】
[I was treated coldly and violently for no reason, and I was given a slap in the face and a date. 】
Jiang Chen deliberately procrastinated while Lu Mingxuan went to arrange the schedule for the dinner, and Lu Chiyuan stood at the door waiting for him.
Lu Chiyuan heard Jiang Chen's thoughts clearly. Jiang Chen was upset about his avoidance. Lu Chiyuan's eyes dimmed and he stroked the watch on his hand, realizing that avoidance would not solve the problem.
Jiang Chen didn't ask him, but he had been holding the anger in his heart, which would become a thorn over time.
There were only so many things on the table, even if Jiang Chen was a tortoise, he should have finished sorting them out by now. He took out his phone and looked at his order, only to find that no one had taken the order.
He was a little depressed, with nothing to delay time any longer, so he slowly stood up, walked to Lu Chiyuan, and said with a fake smile: "Mr. Lu, am I wasting your time?"
Mr. Lu?
Lu Chiyuan raised his eyebrows: "No delay."
Lu Chiyuan's driver today was Uncle Qin, who opened the back door as usual and waited for Jiang Chen and Lu Chiyuan to get in. Jiang Chen did not sit in the back, but got directly to the passenger seat.
Uncle Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Lu Chiyuan. Seeing that Lu Chiyuan didn't react much, he guessed that the two young people were having a quarrel. He didn't say much, pretended to be confused, and just did his own job.
This time he drove the car into the residential area and drove all the way to the downstairs of Jiang Chen's house.
The rain outside the car was much lighter. Jiang Chen got out of the car first. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard Uncle Tan say, "Mr. Lu, this is the medicine that Butler Lin asked me to prepare for you. He told you not to forget to take it."
Uncle Qin handed Lu Chiyuan a small medicine box containing white pills. Jiang Chen couldn't see clearly what was inside.
"What's wrong with Mr. Lu?" Jiang Chen asked.
Uncle Tan said: "Mr. Lu was not feeling well yesterday..."
Before he finished speaking, a light cough came from the back row, and Lu Chiyuan stared at him with sharp eyes.
Uncle Qin smiled awkwardly. He didn't want to choose this time to pass the medicine to Lu Chiyuan on purpose. It was Lu Chiyuan who refused to cooperate, and Uncle Lin had no way to deal with him, so he came up with this idea.
In front of Jiang Chen, even if Lu Chiyuan refused, Jiang Chen would not sit idly by.
If they can't persuade him, can Jiang Chen also not persuade him?
It turns out that Uncle Lin was right. Seeing that Lu Chiyuan refused to take it, Jiang Chen bent down and said, "Give it to me. I'll watch him eat it."
Uncle Qin quickly handed the medicine over without hesitation, fearing that if he was a step slower, Lu Chiyuan would stop him.
Jiang Chen took the medicine and opened Lu Chiyuan's car door. He stood in the rain and looked at someone who was feeling a little uncomfortable, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, do you still need me to ask you to get out of the car?"
Lu Chiyuan: “…”
Uncle Qin completed his mission and drove away quickly.
Lu Chiyuan followed Jiang Chen upstairs. Along the way, Jiang Chen was studying the medicine box in his hand and didn't speak to him.
After entering the house and changing his shoes, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa, put the medicine box on the coffee table, looked up at Lu Chiyuan, and said, "Mr. Lu, don't you have anything to say?"
Jiang Chen kept calling Mr. Lu in a sarcastic tone. He had been holding this anger in his heart for two days and thought of various possibilities, but he never thought that Lu Chiyuan was hiding it from him because he was sick.
Compared to being sick, Jiang Chen was more willing to accept other reasons.
He suddenly understood a little bit how angry Lu Chiyuan was when he and Gu Tingsen had a fight. They cared about each other, and when they knew that the other was injured or sick, their first reaction was to be with the other.
When people are vulnerable, the first person they think of is the person they want to rely on. In front of such a person, they can let down their guard, be serious, or even act like a spoiled child or be clingy.
But Lu Chiyuan was sick and did not tell Jiang Chen, and also excluded Jiang Chen from the group.
Being pushed away when the other party needed him made Jiang Chen feel like he was unwanted.
Jiang Chen was not only angry, he was also upset.
Lu Chiyuan sat down next to Jiang Chen and said, "It's not a big problem, I just feel a little uncomfortable. Uncle Lin is too nervous."
"So you should just keep it from me? Or do you think I don't need to know?"
Jiang Chen turned his head. He and Lu Chiyuan were very close. At this distance, any slight emotion would be captured.
Lu Chiyuan looked at his eyes, which had become serious and sharp because of his anger, and thought of those inappropriate pictures. The person in the picture had short hair, and the cheerfulness between his eyebrows and his temperament were too much like Jiang Chen.
Lu Chiyuan could hardly tell the difference. He stared at Jiang Chen seriously and said, "Jiang Chen, are you worried about me?"
Jiang Chen was a little angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't reply to my message and your phone was turned off. I thought you... I..."
Jiang Chen couldn't say that he was worried that he would be betrayed and meet with an unexpected accident as described in the original novel. The emotions that had just been aroused encountered an invisible wall and were shattered into pieces, leaving only a feeling of depression.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, turned his face away, and considered himself unlucky.
"Why are you worried about me?"
Lu Chiyuan didn't intend to end the topic like this. He raised his hand, pinched Jiang Chen's chin, and turned his face back.
Lu Chiyuan knew why he was worried, but he still wanted to ask.
Those likes that do not need to be heard with the heart have been integrated into every aspect of life. Compared to the bystander at the beginning, Jiang Chen can withdraw at any time. At this moment, he has feelings and begins to hesitate.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Chiyuan was no longer innocent.
Jiang Chen met Lu Chiyuan's gaze directly, his blue eyes were full of his image. He wanted an explanation, while Lu Chiyuan wanted an answer.
Unlike his previous evasive and ambiguous questions, Lu Chiyuan's questions pierced through the haziness between them and revealed their hidden affection for each other.
"We are friends. Do friends need a reason to care about each other?" Jiang Chen bit his lip, resisting the urge to speak out.
"Just friends?" Lu Chiyuan pressed on. He was not satisfied with this answer. His eyes were deep and his expression suddenly became serious, full of oppression. "The relationship between friends is not so fragile, because I don't have any possessiveness towards my friends' private space. But with you, I can't help but cross the line. Jiang Chen, think it over before you answer me. Are we just friends?"
An ostrich cannot hide its head in the sand forever, and Jiang Chen cannot keep avoiding uncontrollable emotions.
Lu Chiyuan's questioning pushed him into a corner. The fingers pinching his chin stroked his face, and the warm touch made his scalp tingle.
Jiang Chen had no way to escape.
Crossing the line became a problem.
He hesitated and struggled. A similar skin could not make him become himself, and he made Lu Chiyuan love an illusion.
Just as he was about to say something, a knock on the door interrupted everything.
Jiang Chen found an excuse, broke free from Lu Chiyuan's hand, stood up and said, "I'll go open the door."
Outside the door was Lu Mingxuan who came to deliver clothes. He only said a few words and left without even seeing Lu Chiyuan or entering the door. He just followed the elevator.
Jiang Chen took the clothes back. Lu Chiyuan was still sitting on the sofa, his eyes following Jiang Chen.
"It seems that this question is difficult for you to answer."
"Give me some time."
Jiang Chen did not evade, but Xueqiu was not here at the moment, and he could not make a judgment on many things in the future. It was time for him to make plans for this relationship, spend some time to solve the existing problems, and give Lu Chiyuan a certain future.
Lu Chiyuan didn't force him, took the clothes and said, "Can I use the bathroom to take a shower?"
"sure."
Jiang Chen led the person into the bathroom and opened the cabinet: "This is a new towel, toothbrush, and mouthwash cup. And here are shower gel and shampoo. Auntie put several brands when she restocked the stock, you can choose the one you like."
Lu Chiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Which two do you usually use?"
"This, this." Jiang Chen spoke quickly and acted quickly. After he realized something, he turned around and looked at Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Chiyuan stared at him seriously, took a step forward to close the distance between them: "Want to take a shower with me?"
Jiang Chen fled in panic.
He sat on the sofa and looked at the clothes Lu Mingxuan had sent him. They were classic black.
Jiang Chen thought of the brooch he bought at the auction, which had remained in his hands because he missed the opportunity. Tonight was a good time.
After taking a shower, Lu Chiyuan couldn't find suitable clothes, so he came out wrapped in a bath towel. The water droplets that had not been wiped off his hair flowed down his neck and slid off his chest.
He lives a regular life and has always had the habit of fitness. When he takes off his clothes, his muscles are very eye-catching.
But there was no one in the living room, and he seemed to be winking at a blind man.
Lu Chiyuan paused, looked in the direction of Jiang Chen's bedroom, and chuckled. He picked up the clothes on the sofa and walked into the dressing room.
When he finished packing and came out, Jiang Chen, who had disappeared just now, appeared on the sofa again and stood up immediately when he saw him.
"Are you going to the dinner party?"
Lu Chiyuan nodded: "The dinner will be at seven o'clock, it's about time to go there now."
Lu Chiyuan's expression paused slightly, and he felt a little regretful for rejecting Jiang Chen during the day. He wanted to ask Jiang Chen if he was willing to go, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up.
Tonight is a purely business party. Apart from talking about business, there is probably no entertainment involved.
Jiang Chen walked up to Lu Chiyuan with his hands behind his back, patted his chest with one hand, and said with a smile: "Is it too empty here?"
Lu Chiyuan responded immediately: "Yes, I'm waiting for you to move in."
Jiang Chen was stunned, his face instantly heated up: "That's not what I'm talking about... This is for you."
Jiang Chen took out the brooch hidden behind him. The silver snowflakes on it were particularly shining. This was a gift that was late because of his escape.
Lu Chiyuan pointed to his chest and said, "Won't you help me put it on?"
"Wear."
Jiang Chen approached Lu Chiyuan, selected a suitable position, and pinned the brooch carefully.
Lu Chiyuan looked down at him. From this angle, Jiang Chen's eyes were slightly upturned, and his eyelashes were thick and long. His serious look was particularly eye-catching.
"Okay, it really looks beautiful this way."
Jiang Chen tidied Lu Chiyuan's clothes and looked up, catching his eyes.
Lu Chiyuan leaned forward slightly, clasped Jiang Chen's neck with one hand, and brushed his ear with his lips, saying, "Go to bed early. I'm leaving first."
