"It's not going to be the same kind of place as last time, is it?" Fu Yan asked.
Feng Lu chuckled, "No, this time I'm taking you to a place where adults should go."
...
Xiao Xin slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, and when she woke up, her body was still a little sore.
He lay in bed for a while to calm himself down. Recalling everything that had happened yesterday, he suddenly felt completely drained, his mind went blank, and he was accompanied by a faint throbbing pain.
Xiao Xin turned to her side, buried her face in the blanket, and hugged her head tightly with both hands.
The thought of He Yunzhou's mysterious death made him feel suffocated...
Jiang Yuqing looks like a frail person, but I never expected her to have such great scheming and cunning.
The last words he said to Xiao Xin yesterday still echoed in Xiao Xin's ears.
"Fu Yan, you don't care either?"
How could I not care?
What exactly is Jiang Yuqing trying to do?
If Xiao Xin really wanted to fight him, he definitely wouldn't stand a chance. How could someone with nothing possibly contend with the powerful Jiang family?
What will Fu Yan do? What will his father do? How will he pay off all those overwhelming debts?
Xiao Xin felt a stinging sensation in his nose and his stomach churned with acid. He finally couldn't hold it in any longer and jumped out of bed to run to the toilet to vomit violently.
He squatted on the ground, and as he vomited, his abdomen spasmed and began to contract violently.
After vomiting, my stomach felt empty and my head felt dizzy.
He took a while to calm down before he could stand up from the floor by supporting himself on the sink and slowly move to the bedside while holding onto the wall.
Xiao Xin threw himself onto the bed, and as if remembering something, reached for his phone on the bedside table. His finger unconsciously tapped the confession video he had secretly recorded that day.
He filmed the back of Fu Yan's head, not his face, but Fu Yan's voice was clear in the video.
"I like you, Xin Xin..."
"I like you, Xin Xin..."
Xiao Xin curled up on his side on the bed, listening to Fu Yan's voice countless times. Every syllable he heard resonated in his ears, and each time it moved him deeply.
It was as if Fu Yan had said it to him in person...
How long can he enjoy such happiness?
Xiao Xin didn't want to have any expectations; those who want to leave can't be kept, and no one can stay with anyone forever.
That German Shepherd was the only stray dog he ever adopted.
But Xiao Xin later realized that he was simply incapable of protecting that dog, nor could he hold onto what he cherished forever. He dared not even hope for it, he simply dared not...
Xiao Xin watched the video, and his vision began to blur after a while. By the time he realized it, his face was already covered in tears.
He was stunned for a moment when a video call invitation suddenly appeared above the screen.
It was Fu Yan who called.
Xiao Xin stubbornly wiped away her tears, sat up straight on the bed, took two deep breaths, and then answered the video call.
"What's wrong, baby..." Xiao Xin smiled gently, her eyes a little red, her voice soft.
Fu Yan's heart trembled slightly when he heard Xiao Xin's affectionate address.
Xiao Xin was smiling in the video, but Fu Yan noticed the redness in Xiao Xin's eyes.
"Brother, are you crying?" Fu Yan asked.
Xiao Xin shook his head, his voice slightly nasal, "No, I was smoking outside just now, and the wind blew on me."
He spoke gently, with a languid weariness.
Fu Yan guessed that Xiao Xin might be upset about work, and then said, "Brother, Feng Lu said he'd like to invite you out. Do you want to go?"
Xiao Xin pondered for a moment, "Where to?"
Feng Lu leaned over from the driver's seat, peeking his eyes into the video: "Senior, we won an award in the competition today! Come out and celebrate with us, it's on me!"
He then added, "We'll wait for you at the entrance of this alley!"
Xiao Xin thought for a moment, and since there was nothing else to do, she didn't want to spoil their fun, so she said, "Okay, let me change my clothes."
Fu Yan pushed Feng Lu's face away and said to Xiao Xin in the video, "Brother, take your time changing. There's still plenty of time, no rush."
Xiao Xin hummed in agreement, then hung up the video call, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, before opening the wardrobe and choosing an outfit.
He wore a black turtleneck sweater as a base layer, and a mid-length pure black wool coat on top. After tidying up his messy hair with a comb, he looked much more energetic.
His eyes were still a little red, but he still had energy and spirit.
Xiao Xin composed herself, checked her reflection in the mirror to make sure nothing seemed amiss, then grabbed her phone and keys and headed outside.
＊
Fu Yan leaned against the car and waved to Xiao Xin, who was walking this way, from ten meters away: "Brother!"
Xiao Xin responded, and Fu Yan quickly opened the back seat for him, then smiled at Xiao Xin with the back of his hand against the car door and said, "Brother, get in the car."
Xiao Xin bent down and climbed into the back seat of the car, and Fu Yan followed closely behind.
As soon as he closed the car door, the cold wind was instantly dispelled by the warm air inside the car.
He held Xiao Xin's hand and nuzzled his head against Xiao Xin's shoulder, "Brother, I missed you so much..."
When Feng Lu turned around and saw Fu Yan with a beaming face, it was as if he saw a large pet dog wagging its tail to its owner, and he was immediately stunned.
Fu Yan felt his gaze and glanced at him: "What are you looking at? Drive your car properly."
Feng Lu: "Hey, you..."
Fu Yan ignored him and continued to snuggle against Xiao Xin's neck, saying, "Brother..."
Feng Lu's face darkened: "Senior, how can you put up with this guy?"
Xiao Xin chuckled through his nose: "I'm used to it."
He said this and placed a kiss on Fu Yan's forehead.
Feng Lu rolled her eyes at Fu Yan: "I think it's because you spoiled him..."
He turned back to his car and added, "Husbands are meant to be beaten. Be careful, or they'll start climbing on the roof and tearing the tiles off if you don't discipline them for three days."
Xiao Xin smiled but didn't say anything.
Fu Yan was sitting in the back row, so he couldn't kick him, but Xiao Xin was next to him. When he looked at Xiao Xin's face, his anger subsided.
＊
In less than ten minutes, Feng Lu drove the car to his destination.
Fu Yan and Xiao Xin were both taken aback when they saw the familiar blue door.
Feng Lu got out of the car first and opened the back door for Xiao Xin.
Seeing that Xiao Xin was still in a daze, he reminded him, "Senior, we've arrived."
Xiao Xin snapped out of her daze, strode off the car, and Fu Yan followed closely behind.
Xiao Xin pointed to the Blue Heart Club and asked Feng Lu, "You mean this is where you come to have fun?"
Feng Lu nodded, "Yes, Fu Yan said you haven't eaten yet, but this club happens to have a restaurant where you can eat. After we finish eating, we'll go to a private room for drinks."
Xiao Xin: "..."
Feng Lu handed the car keys to the doorman, then pulled Xiao Xin, who was still in a daze, and said, "Let's go, senior. Don't be shy. Have fun today, it's on me."
The doorman took the key from Feng Lu's hand, saw Xiao Xin, and greeted him warmly, "Brother Xin!"
Then he saw Fu Yan beside him, and immediately his smile vanished. He hurriedly turned to Feng Lu and said, "Have a pleasant time, guest! I'll drive your car to the garage first..."
