After school at 8pm, it was almost 9pm when he got back to Lin Jianlu's house. Eating veal at this time would be bad for digestion.
But Yan Han is a high school student now. He is young, has a fast metabolism, and consumes a lot of physical and mental energy. With these characteristics, he can eat anything.
So even though he disagreed, Lin Jianlu still told Aunt Tian early in the morning that Yan Han would come back to live here at night, and he didn't need to tell her anything else. The two aunts naturally knew what Yan Han liked to eat and what to prepare for him.
When he was at school, whether he went to the cafeteria to eat or asked others to bring him food, Yan Han often didn't dare to eat too much in order not to be suspected.
Small snacks like chocolate were not uncommon, but for the eldest brother, eating those things was just to maintain energy supply. If there was anything he really liked to eat and liked to eat, it had to be...
meat!
It is the kind of meat that is tender and chewy when you bite it, and the juice will leave a lingering fragrance in your cheeks. It can fill your cheeks with meat!
What's more, Aunt Tian's Spanish braised veal is really unique. Both the taste and the tenderness of the meat are perfect. Yan Han can eat a bowl every time he goes there! He
dared not eat too much at school, but at the Lin family, in front of Big Brother Lin and the two aunts, he didn't have so many taboos.
After eating and drinking enough, Yan Han was taken out for a walk by Lin Jianlu. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. After a day of high-intensity study and eating too much, Yan Han already felt a little sleepy.
But walking in the Lin family's garden, with someone he likes and who likes him by his side, the cool evening breeze blowing between the two of them, bringing with it a faint scent of flowers and soil in the garden, made Yan Han feel that everything was so damn beautiful.
... It would be even better if he wasn't sleepy.
Yan Han yawned and looked at Lin Jianlu with tears in his eyes, "Brother Dalin, don't you usually feel sleepy?"
Speaking of this, he seemed to have never seen Lin Jianlu yawn.
It seemed that it was rare to see Brother Dalin sleeping on the table at noon or between classes.
Although he didn't show much energy, Lin Jianlu was usually so serious that he was only one step away from being lifeless, but he really didn't seem to show his tired side.
Lin Jianlu said, "There are times when I feel sleepy."
"Hmm."
"When I feel sleepy, I imagine myself soaking in a hot spring and then taking a short nap."
"..."
Yan Han: "This... is it so effective?"
"It usually effectively eliminates fatigue. Why don't you try it too?"
"No." Yan Han said embarrassedly, "I won't try it."
Just kidding, Brother Dalin's brain is so versatile, he can rely on focusing his attention on one point to completely block out all sounds and senses happening in the real world. Guan Gong had to drink some wine to scrape his bones to cure poison, but he doesn't need to. It's just a matter of relying on his imagination to make himself a full-body horse-killing chicken. It shouldn't be a difficult task.
Although Yan Han, who possessed the deep concentration skill, could not do it like Lin Jianlu, he had no doubt about the powerful and magical function of the brain, so he did not expect to use this trick.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jianlu said: "I mean we should go to a hot spring now."
Yan Han: "!!!"
"Where are we going to take a bath so late?"
"Come with me."
Lin Jianlu said as he pulled Yan Han's wrist, turned around, and walked towards the exit of the garden.
Yan Han: "..."
He temporarily put the matter of the hot spring behind him. After all, the warm touch on his wrist reminded him that Big Brother Lin was holding his hand...
So why was he holding his wrist instead of his hand? !
When we were in school, we couldn't hold each other in order not to disturb the classmates around us, but now that we have all gone home, isn't it natural to hold each other?
Besides, this isn't the first time.
When it's necessary to eliminate the psychological barriers of touching others, they hold each other tightly.
Why is he just holding wrists now?
"Ahem." He thought this wouldn't work, and he couldn't hold it in, so he coughed twice and deliberately asked Lin Jianlu: "Well, if we touch, you really won't feel uncomfortable, right?"
"Yeah."
Although he didn't know why he asked this, Lin Jianlu answered without thinking and with certainty.
"Then..." Yan Han continued the topic, licking his lips unconsciously: "You really can touch for as long as you want without feeling uncomfortable, right?"
He asked, while turning his wrist, easily breaking away from Lin Jianlu's palm, and then pulling his arm up slightly, and stuffing his palm between Lin Jianlu's slightly relaxed fingers. The
slender fingers paused, and the next moment they tightly grasped his palm.
In the dim night scene, Lin Jianlu turned his head to look at him, and still said very seriously: "We have to test it in practice to see how long we can touch."
As he spoke, his thin lips slightly raised, revealing a smile that he rarely showed in front of others.
Yan Han: "Hmm."
He responded casually, but was blinded by Da Lin's smile, and the eldest brother quickly looked away.
He thinks that falling in love is like learning, and the foundation is very important.
Whatever foundation is laid, it is still a foundation. You can't be so stiff when the two of you touch hands in the future!
But it was the first time that the eldest brother took the initiative to hold hands.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and in order to pursue a hazy mood, the lights in the garden were not so bright. He was sure that Lin Jianlu couldn't see his rosy cheeks.
Otherwise...
he would blush just holding hands, which would be a huge loss of face.
Brother Yan felt that he couldn't bear this embarrassment.
However, the hands held together in the back never loosened anyway.
Yan Han thought again, this is all my credit.
Holding hands and walking out of the garden, Lin Jianlu directly pulled him into a golf cart.
"When the Lin family's old house was selected, the reason why this place was chosen was because there is a natural hot spring in the northwest corner." Lin Jianlu explained.
Yan Han: "..."
Well, he had been to the Lin family for so many times that he had never visited the whole place, so he would not be surprised if Lin Jianlu gave him something.
No wonder he didn't know there was a hot spring here. It took about ten minutes on the golf cart to get there. The hot spring of the Lin family was located in a yard, and its appearance was like another small villa. If you didn't know, you would never think that this was also a building of the Lin family.
Different from the main courtyard, the decoration style of this hot spring villa is pure oriental design. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can hear the sound of gurgling water, and a scene of flowing water on a small bridge comes to your face. Opposite the gate of the courtyard is a two-story building with pavilions, terraces, and carved beams and painted buildings, all with bright red lacquer, full of the sense of the times but not old.
Cross a wooden bridge, push aside the green vines and bamboos to the door of the small building, and the decorations and furnishings inside are all complete, all of which are ancient.
This place is cleverly designed, combining modern technology with ancient style. It has artistic conception, but it will not give people a gloomy feeling when you come in the middle of the night.
——The lighting nearby is very powerful, although I don’t know how it is done.
For example, the lanterns hanging in front of the small building are now emitting light to their heart's content, with a soft orange-yellow light that is neither glaring nor dim, illuminating the entire small building.
Yan Han has never come into contact with such an ancient building before. He is not afraid to say that when he first approached here, the first thing he thought of was the scenes in those ghost stories.
But with lighting, the feeling is completely different.
He even looked up at the lanterns, curious about how they could be so bright, and in a warm color...
Lin Jianlu explained to him very honestly: "That's an LED light, just made into the shape of a lantern."
Yan Han: "..."
Okay, he should have thought of it earlier!
Lin Jianlu led me all the way into the two-story building in the courtyard. The interior of the building was not as big as I imagined. The first floor was a large hall plus a reception room. It was a semi-open layout with only one partition. All the furnishings inside were clearly visible.
According to Lin Jianlu, there were two guest rooms on the second floor. The modern facilities in the guest rooms were very comprehensive and were sometimes used to entertain guests.
However, in recent years, Lin Jianlu's grandfather went abroad for treatment due to a serious illness, and Brother Lin, who was in charge of part of the family business, did not come home often. Few people came to visit the old house, and this place has been idle.
It's just that someone still comes to clean every week, and the people who specialize in cleaning swimming pools will also come to clean the hot spring pool, so this place is still spotless and clean enough to be used directly.
"There should be clothes for bathing in the guest room upstairs. I'll call and ask someone to send some clean clothes over later. Let's go upstairs to change clothes first?" Lin Jianlu said.
Yan Han: "...Oh, oh."
Forgive him, his thoughts are still on the past of the Lin family that Big Brother Lin occasionally mentioned just now, and he didn't pull it back.
So far, he has only heard that Lin Jianlu mentioned his brother and his grandfather, but he has never heard him mention his father and mother.
Maybe because he didn't have much parental love since he was a child, Yan Han is still very sensitive in this regard.
Especially when Dalin was a child, he had no one to teach him about emotions, so he developed such a closed personality...
This makes people even more curious. He is not the wild child who grew up in the mountains and was raised by wolves or monkeys in movies and TV shows. What kind of family background did Dalin have to become what he is now...
In addition to curiosity, of course, he is full of heartache.
Because of heartache, he didn't even dare to ask or inquire in detail. Some experiences are not so easy to open up to others.
Yan Han felt so sorry for Dalin that when he slowly reacted to what the other party had just said... He suddenly felt that half of his face was about to turn red again.
Lin Jianlu said let's go upstairs to change clothes first.
We...we...
looked down at the two people's intertwined fingers. Before, they were holding hands with their palms touching each other, but now they were interlocked.
Yes, he drove the golf cart proudly for a while, and the two people's intertwined hands naturally separated.
As for when they were intertwined again...Yan Han was only concerned with looking at the buildings here, and didn't pay attention to the details.
And now the two interlocked hands didn't seem to have any intention of separating...
There are two guest rooms on the upper floor.
But Lin Jianlu said they wanted to change clothes together...
He took a deep breath. Before he took off his vest, the other party would definitely not make such a request. Later, he let himself go in front of Big Brother Lin. Even though he knew that both of them were men, Lin Jianlu was still the polite Lin Jianlu. He would also arrange a separate room for him to change clothes when dealing with people of the same sex.
But now Lin Jianlu is his boyfriend...
There are some things that you can't think about.
When he thought about his big brother's face, he felt very anxious. If he looked in the mirror, his face would probably have turned red all the way to his ears.
But at least he was respected as Brother Yan, so how could he be scared at this time.
Before he could catch his breath, Yan Han took another deep breath, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Let's go."
As he said that, he exerted force with his hand and took the initiative to pull Lin Jianlu.
