Chapter 88 I'll definitely come back soon Lin Yan...
Before Lin Yanfeng could even react to what was happening, and was already bracing himself for a beating from his brother, he heard Lin Qing'an speak leisurely.
"Liking someone is your own business. No one can interfere with or deny your feelings. Dirty? What is dirty? Just because you like someone of the same sex, does that mean you have to be called dirty?" Lin Qing'an gently patted Lin Yanfeng's shoulder to comfort him. "Ayan, remember, everything in the world can be divided into different levels, but feelings are the fairest. Sincere and devout love is the purest and most inviolable emotion, a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Therefore, your love is not dirty. Don't easily belittle yourself, and don't easily deny this love. I hope you can gain something from this."
Lin Qing'an hadn't received much formal education and spoke in a very modern way, but he knew Lin Yanfeng could understand him.
As expected, Lin Yanfeng understood, and his eyes welled up with tears.
Suppressing his shock, he looked at Lin Qing'an with admiration and said sincerely, "Brother, I understand, thank you."
Lin Qing'an couldn't bear to see his red eyes and changed the subject, asking, "So how did you convince A Bao? And what's with that shy smile he always has?"
"Huh?" Lin Yanfeng was taken aback by his brother's sudden shy remark, but he quickly realized what had happened at the dinner table. "Well, last night I told him to go without worry, that my brother-in-law would protect him, and that I would study hard and become the top scholar to see him."
"That's all?" Lin Qing'an didn't believe it.
Lin Yanfeng coughed twice before stammering, "Um, that's it."
"Hey bro, don't keep asking. I know what I'm doing, don't worry."
Lin Qing'an wanted to laugh and continue gossiping, but seeing that Lin Yanfeng wouldn't say anything more, she didn't intend to make things difficult for him.
"Alright, let's go inside and see what Brother Nian has planned."
After saying that, he stepped into the house. Lin Yanfeng breathed a sigh of relief behind him. Of course, he wouldn't tell Lin Qing'an the whole story of the consensus he and A Bao reached that afternoon.
As soon as Lin Qing'an and the others walked in, they heard Lin Jing speaking.
"Brother Nian, you don't need me for anything now. We clearly agreed to share the good times and the bad, but now you don't want to admit a single word of it, do you?"
Lin Jing's voice was thick with emotion, clearly indicating that she was crying.
This greatly worried Lin Qing'an, as he had never seen Sister Jing shed a single tear, let alone cry.
Then Chen Gengnian said coldly, "You said all those things, I didn't say a single word."
"Speak properly!" Lin Qing'an grabbed Lin Jing and reprimanded Chen Gengnian.
When Chen Gengnian saw that his husband had arrived, his tone softened considerably.
"Ah Qing, it's not what you think. Lin Jing insisted on going with us. What do you think a girl like her would do going with us!"
"Huh?" Lin Qingan was also shocked. He asked Lin Jing, "Sister Jing, why are you going? Who knows what kind of dangers you'll encounter? Even I can't go."
"But Ah Qing, you've seen how much Brother Nian has taken care of me all these years. Knowing it's not safe outside, I wanted to go with him. Although I'm a woman, I'm not afraid of trouble. If something really happens, at least I'll have someone to protect him." Lin Jing's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Listen to this, listen to this..." Chen Gengnian was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
Jiang Qu couldn't stand it any longer and had to speak up: "Miss Lin, it's not that we look down on you because you're a woman, it's just that we need to travel light along the way. The fewer people there are, the less attention we'll attract. So what Anian said isn't unreasonable. Besides, the old and young in these mountains need someone to take care of them. Taking care of everyone is also helping Anian."
Lin Qingan quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Once they leave, there really won't be anyone in these mountains as capable as you. You might even have a hard time dealing with a few bears. Sister Jing, you staying here will give us peace of mind."
With everyone chiming in, Lin Jing had nothing more to say. Since she didn't speak, they took it as her consent. Jiang Qu quickly changed the subject and said to Yang Ruo and Mo Xing, "You two stay here. We will send guards to surround the area both down the mountain and inside. No matter what happens, protecting everyone's safety is our top priority, understand?"
"clear!"
The two siblings did not refute each other, but spoke up at the same time.
Lin Qingan finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Uncle Jiang, I've always wanted to ask you, are they really your children?"
Jiang Qu suddenly laughed and said, "No, I don't have children, neither of us has children."
Lin Qingan, Chen Gengnian, and the others were shocked by what he said next.
You mean...
"Yes, neither Uncle Hu nor any of us who secretly protect Anian have any children because we always knew this day would come, so we didn't want to implicate our families."
"Uncle Jiang..."
Chen Gengnian was about to say something to express his gratitude, but before he could speak, Jiang Qu interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to blame yourself for this. All the decisions were made by ourselves. You were not aware of the situation and you were forced into it. I know that."
There's no point in saying more now. Jiang Qu is right; they were also helpless in this sudden turn of events.
After arranging everything, Chen Gengnian went out to talk to his uncles and elders, hoping that they would treat their own families the way he treated them.
After Chen Gengnian left, Jiang Qu and Yang Ruo, the two siblings, seemed to have something to say, so they took the two of them out the door.
Only Lin Qing'an, Lin Jing, Lin Yanfeng, and A Bao remained in the room.
No, none of them noticed that Liu Yiyi was sitting alone in the corner near the entrance. It was a dark place where the light couldn't reach, so no one noticed her until Chen Yuetao came in to get something and called out to them.
Lin Qing'an held Lin Jing's arm and could clearly feel her taut biceps.
Lin Qingan reminded her, "Sister Jing, go quickly and talk to Sister Yiyi properly."
Lin Jing nodded and slowly walked towards the person.
Without exchanging a word, Lin Jing reached out and took the person's hand, leading them out.
Abao asked with some concern, "Brother, will Sister Jing and the others fight?"
Lin Qingan smiled and said, "No, they have a very good relationship."
"As for you, Abao, since you agreed to go, you should listen to your brother-in-law, understand?"
Lin Qing'an patted A Bao's head and gave him a few words of advice. A Bao nodded and said, "I know, brother. I will definitely listen to them."
Seeing A Bao's clear eyes, Lin Qing'an didn't say anything more. He reluctantly pulled his hand away from A Bao's head and said, "Okay, I'll come see you when I have time."
“Brother, brother-in-law said that he will come back to pick you up once things are settled. Then you won’t have to worry about making money anymore, and our whole family can live a life of luxury.”
"Okay, brothers, we'll be waiting for your good news." Lin Qing'an suddenly felt a little sleepy and yawned, "Then you guys should go back and rest early. You'll probably have to leave early tomorrow, so don't be unable to get up."
"Okay!"
After explaining everything, Lin Qing'an went to tell Chen Yuetao and then returned to his room.
He felt exhausted and sleepy, and all he wanted to do was lie on the big bed and sleep soundly.
Lin Qing'an originally wanted to say a few words to A Meng, but A Meng had spent the whole afternoon hanging out with Bai Fu and now no one knew where he had gone to play.
"Never mind, I'll talk to it tomorrow," he thought.
Lin Qing'an was indeed very tired. He fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed after getting back to the house. In his drowsy state, he was pulled into someone's arms. The warm chest made him feel very safe. Lin Qing'an wrapped his arms around Chen Gengnian's firm waist and was about to continue sleeping when the man kept pecking at his forehead like a chick pecking at rice.
"Brother Nian, aren't you going to sleep?"
Lin Qing'an was half asleep, and his voice was muffled, like a kitten scratching at Chen Gengnian's heart.
Chen Gengnian kissed him a few more times affectionately before saying gently, "I don't want to sleep."
Lin Qing'an, whether he heard her clearly or not, hummed in response and drifted off to sleep.
Chen Gengnian held the person tightly in his arms, wishing he could embed the person into his flesh and blood and take him away.
Realizing what was happening, and fearing they might have hurt the person, they quickly loosened their grip.
He murmured softly, "Be good and wait for me at home. I will definitely come back soon."
Although Lin Qing'an was asleep, he still responded with a lazy "hmm" after hearing Chen Gengnian's voice.
Seeing her husband looking so adorable, Chen Gengnian felt his heart melt.
Lin Qing'an slept soundly that night, but Chen Gengnian did not sleep a wink.
He kissed his lover repeatedly, tracing her features over and over again, every inch filled with reluctance and helplessness.
Just as dawn broke, Ameng came to call for people. It knocked softly on the window a few times, and Chen Gengnian got up and dressed after hearing it.
After getting dressed, Lin Qing'an still hadn't woken up. Although he couldn't bear to wake him, he didn't want to leave quietly either. So he knelt down by the bed, cupped his husband's warm, smiling face, and pressed his lips against those beautiful lips.
Lin Qing'an was sleeping soundly when he dreamt that something crawled into his mouth, and a cold sensation woke him up.
As soon as I woke up, I felt my lips and tongue being wrapped around someone's neck, and when I realized what was happening, I raised my hand to hug their neck in response.
The mountain mornings are filled with birdsong, but the sounds of breathing and tongues churning inside the cabin are equally loud.
The kiss progressed from initial caution to passionate response, and finally to tender intimacy.
Each stage of change foreshadows the countdown to the impending farewell.
Chen Gengnian wanted to leave Lin Qingan but chased after him. The two talked back and forth, neither wanting to leave the other for even a moment, until the window was knocked on again, forcing them to separate.
Their noses touched, and before they could catch their breath, Chen Gengnian's tears flowed into Lin Qing'an's mouth like a tide.
Tears are bitter, so bitter that they make your throat feel tight and dry.
Even if it's hard to part, we still have to say goodbye, and the reason for parting is so that we can meet again sooner.
Lin Qing'an ruthlessly pushed the person away and got up to put on his clothes.
Chen Gengnian wanted to say that it was cold outside and not to go out, but he couldn't say it. He knew that Lin Qingan would not take back any decision he made at this moment, so he was willing to go along with him and wanted to be closer to him for a while longer.
Chen Gengnian stepped forward and silently helped the man put on his outer robe, then squatted down to put on his shoes and boots. Neither of them dared to look at each other, and they walked out hand in hand.
Ameng and Baifu were waiting at the door.
These days, Baifu has been busy playing with Ameng and the other Xiaoyu, while Chen Gengnian has been busy building their home. Baifu hasn't been clinging to Chen Gengnian much lately, but today, as if he understood something, he clung tightly to Chen Gengnian's feet and rubbed against his trouser leg.
Chen Gengnian squatted down and patted Baifu, instructing him, "Take good care of everyone, understand?"
Bai Fu nodded as if he truly understood Chen Gengnian's words.
Ah Meng urged from the side, "Alright, let's hurry up and go, it'll be late if we wait."
Ahead, Jiang Qu was waiting at the crossroads with a torch, with Chen Yuetao, Lin Jing, and the siblings Yang Ruo standing beside him.
Chen Gengnian led Lin Qingan in that direction, slowing his pace as they got closer.
Meanwhile, Lin Yanfeng and A Bao stopped in their tracks and refused to move.
Lin Yanfeng seemed to be trying to persuade her, but A Bao just kept wiping away her tears.
Lin Qing'an couldn't help but shed tears, he was reluctant to part with Chen Gengnian and A Bao.
Chen Gengnian raised his hand to wipe Lin Qing'an's tears, while his own tears also streamed down his face.
