Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Every day, I am fooled, but it is different...
The cramped room was filled with thick darkness, and the air seemed to become oppressive and heavy.
The windows were covered tightly with thick curtains, and the only source of light was a burning cigarette.
Liang Yu stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, staring at the face in the mirror that was almost swallowed by the darkness. The faint firelight dimly illuminated the blurry outline, and the expression in the eyes could not be seen clearly.
After a while, he took out his mobile phone, found the top contact on WeChat, and sent two voice messages.
"My dear, tomorrow is the 7th day. I will still wait for you on the overpass until you are willing to meet me."
"It doesn't matter if you still don't want to. I will use my body to bloom a red rose in the air for you."
*
On weekdays, Cheng Yi arrives at the company early as usual to clean the office for his boss.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Lu Yu talking on the phone. His tone was cold and hard, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't meet him again?"
Cheng Yi pricked up his ears and after listening for a few sentences he guessed who the caller was.
Lu Lingyi.
The "meeting" most likely means you want to see your ex.
Lu Yu hung up the phone with a gloomy face. Cheng Yi thought of the heavy burden of being his "spiritual mentor", rolled his eyes, and tried to speak.
"Mr. Lu, I watched an interview with a family education expert yesterday. He said something that made a lot of sense."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Yu said without even raising his head.
Cheng Yi: "Less restraint, more understanding, the love and freedom of young people should be put at the top."
Lu Yu could naturally hear the obvious hidden meaning: "I think you are still too idle. Work and overtime should be put first."
He glanced at Cheng Yi, pulled out three paper documents from the folder on his right and threw them to him.
"Translate these three documents in one day. I want to read them before work tomorrow morning."
"!!!"
Cheng Yi was shocked. The three thick stacks of English materials are like three huge mountains. Just flipping through the pages makes me feel like my kidneys are going to fail.
"Your Majesty...Oh no, I can't do it!" He blinked his big watery eyes and pleaded with his boss pitifully.
Lu Yu turned his head away, not looking into his eyes: "If you fail to finish it tomorrow, there will be punishment waiting for you."
Cheng Yi: “…………”
Such a huge workload made the other colleagues in the office shudder: "What's wrong with Mr. Lu? Why are you so high-handed all of a sudden?"
Cheng Yi was depressed: "So it's said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. From now on, I suggest you just call him Lu Hu."
“…”
The three documents were all highly professional academic materials, difficult to understand, and contained a large number of unfamiliar vocabulary. Cheng Yi knew that with his level of English at CET-4 or CET-6, it would be a fantasy to finish translating them within a day.
He turned to technical tycoon Lin Boqing for help, asking if there was any black technology that could help.
Unfortunately, Lin Lao was on a business trip recently, so he only told him that Mr. Lu had an AI translation pen that automatically scans and translates with an accuracy rate of up to 90%.
Cheng Yi didn't think Lu Yu would be generous, and was about to ask another guy for help when the phone on the table rang.
[Lu Lingyi]: Brother Xiaoyi, can you come to see me at noon? I have something to tell you.
[Cheng Yi]: I'm afraid it won't work today. I'm suppressed by your brother.
【Lu Lingyi】：?
[Cheng Yi]: Squeezed
[Cheng Yi]: He has arranged a lot of work for me, and I have to finish it today. I can't even have lunch. Otherwise, why don't you talk to your brother and ask him to temporarily second me?
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yi's phone rang and Lu Yu asked him to go to his office.
"Go to Lu Lingyi's store at noon. He's been in a bad mood recently."
Cheng Yi had long anticipated that this good brother would put Lu Lingyi's words first.
"Then what about my work? I was planning to work day and night." He looked extremely embarrassed.
"Are you so dedicated to your job?" Lu Yu didn't believe it at all, but still gave him a way out, "Then I'll give you two more days."
"Three days," Cheng Yi bargained, "In fact, it would be even better if you could lend me the AI translation pen."
Lu Yu sneered: "...Why don't you just tell me to do it for you?"
"Is it okay?" Cheng Yi said arrogantly, "How about I tell you now?"
“…”
In the end, Lu Yu gave the AI translation pen in the money tree pot to Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi went back to put away his translation pen and headed straight to the book cafe when lunch time came.
Lu Lingyi had a lot to say, and he finally let it all out when Cheng Yi finished his second burger and drank his second cup of milk tea.
"No wonder I felt something was wrong with you in D City. I didn't expect you to have written a literature about the pain of youth."
The version Lu Lingyi told him was similar to the one Cheng Wuju told him.
Lu Lingyi's parents divorced and remarried. Lu Lingyi, who was loveless and lonely, met the gentle and considerate Liang Yu in a foreign country. After dating for a while, the two prepared to live together. Later, Liang Yu said she would take him home to meet her parents, but they had a car accident on the way.
After waking up in the hospital, Liang Yu was nowhere to be found. Lu Lingyi waited for him for three months but he still didn't show up. In the fourth month, he finally began to believe that Liang Yu thought he was seriously injured and disabled, and cruelly abandoned him. He cut a group photo, removed his tattoo, and was taken back to China by Lu Yu.
"I always thought it was Liang Yu's fault until yesterday when he showed me the critical illness notice the hospital issued him after the car accident." Lu Lingyi hung his head, looking very painful.
"He was also seriously injured that time, and his family transferred him to another hospital. He was in a coma for half a year, but my brother told me that he thought I had injured my cervical spine and might not be able to stand up in the future, so he cruelly abandoned me." Lu Lingyi became more and more emotional as he spoke, and he crushed the hamburger on the plate.
"Hey, the food is not at fault," Cheng Yi held his wrist, "what did the hamburger do wrong?"
After Lu Lingyi managed to calm down, Cheng Yi continued, "So what do you think now?"
"I want to lock my brother in a small dark room." Lu Ling said angrily.
Cheng Yi choked and coughed: "Brother, let's not go too far. Let's not talk about your brother, let's talk about Liang Yu. You still want to meet him, right?"
"I do want to, but I'm afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, true love is priceless. If you don't want to regret it, just let go and do what you want to do."
Cheng Yi actually supports Lu Lingyi.
What’s the harm in meeting the lovers who almost missed each other? They won’t elope.
"How about this, I'll go talk to Mr. Lu." Cheng Yi decided to take a risk, "But I have a condition, you have to take me with you when you meet him, I won't disturb you and will stay within a 200-meter radius, so that I can protect you if anything happens."
"Really, Brother Xiaoyi?" Lu Lingyi hugged him tightly, "Please be my sister-in-law. My family really needs a wise ruler like you!"
"...No, please don't." Cheng Yi quickly stopped him.
Whatever the case, she still wanted to be sincere when it came to finding a husband.
Lu Lingyi and Liang Yu agreed to meet at a western restaurant called "Forest Lakeside" at 6 o'clock this afternoon. Cheng Yi did not report the matter to Lu Yu, intending to act first and report later.
After work in the afternoon, he was the first to arrive at the western restaurant and chose a seat by the window.
After a while, Lu Lingyi came in with a young man and sat diagonally opposite him.
Cheng Yi pretended to look at the menu and quickly looked around at Lu Lingyi's boyfriend. He looked similar to the photo, quite handsome and tall, but his complexion was not very good, and he looked sickly pale.
They were so close to him that their conversation could be heard clearly.
"Liang Yu, why are you so thin now?" Lu Lingyi said with a tone full of heartache, "I'll order you a pork chop, like for like."
"Order, I love whatever you order," Liang Yu held his hand, his voice trembling slightly, "I'm thin because I miss you too much. You know, when I get up at night to go to the bathroom, all I think about is whether you have eaten well today, slept well, whether you are in a good mood, and whether your bowel movements are smooth..."
...Oh my God! Cheng Yi felt like smoke was coming out of his ears, and suddenly he understood why love makes people less intelligent.
Look at the two next to them, it’s not a question of whether their IQ has dropped or not, it’s no exaggeration to say that their IQ has hit the bottom.
However, seeing that the lovers finally got married, he was still very happy for Lu Lingyi.
But at the same time, he was also secretly worried about Lu Yu.
Next, it is time for the most powerful spiritual mentor on earth to show his true strength.
He wanted to enlighten Lu Yu, guide Lu Yu, adjust and teach Lu Yu, so that he would understand that love between same-sex people should also be respected and blessed, and that the two mandarin ducks should not be easily separated because of worldly views.
He firmly believed that as long as he had strong skills, Lu Yu would be able to be reborn. As long as he could keep Lu Yu's mentality stable, Cheng Wu Ju's revenge would be ineffective.
In the end, not only will Lu Yu not target them, but he might even be the host at the wedding of Lu Lingyi and Liang Yu.
This blueprint was so beautiful that Cheng Yi was almost in ecstasy when he imagined it. When he came to his senses, he found that Liang Yu had already entered the stage of taking out gifts.
"I've wanted to give it to you for a long time." Liang Yu said, "If your brother hadn't separated us, you would have had it for more than 400 days now."
Lu Lingyi's eyes were filled with mist: "My brother doesn't understand love. Cupid's arrow in his hand can only be used to eat barbecue."
Cheng Yi was choked by this mouthful of dog food and wanted to laugh but also felt a little uncomfortable.
The younger brother has grown up and can hurt people's hearts. If Lu Yu knew that he was being trampled like this, his heart would be broken into pieces.
Liang Yu took the gift out of the bag. Cheng Yi leaned forward slightly and saw that the gift wrapped in the silk handkerchief was actually a bowl.
"This is made of special material." Liang Yu pushed the bowl to Lu Lingyi's side.
"Oh? What is it?" Lu Lingyi looked at it carefully.
"My ribs."
“?!”
Lu Lingyi's wrist trembled, and the almond in Cheng Yi's mouth fell out instantly.
What, what, make a bowl out of your own ribs? Did you learn this from Adam? It’s so abstract!
Liang Yu picked up the table knife, cut a piece of pork ribs and put it into the bowl, then took Lu Lingyi's hand and asked him to hold Na Wan.
"My love for you has melted into my bones. I want you to see it and know it. From now on, you will use this bowl to eat. With every bite, you can feel my body, my temperature, my blood, and my soul."
Lu Lingyi held the bowl in his hand without moving. From his wide eyes, it was hard to tell whether he had an appetite at the moment. Cheng Yi guessed that the probability was no.
What normal person would feel the body, temperature, blood and soul of another person when eating? Aren’t you afraid of intestinal obstruction when eating such a handful of food?
And can you really eat while holding a bowl made of human bones? This kind of romance is so damn unconventional.
Cheng Yi couldn't understand it, and he didn't intend to spend much time trying to understand it. Now he focused all his attention on how to report this matter to Lu Yu.
For the next two days, Cheng Yi kept thinking about this problem. At the same time, he has to endure the fancy dog food that Lu Lingyi sprinkles on him, which is quite choking.
[Lu Lingyi]: He took me for a ride in his sports car today, and 999 blue roses appeared from the car
[Lu Lingyi]: He showed me the company he registered in the Cayman Islands and said he wanted to take me to make money and fly together
[Lu Lingyi]: He took a photo for me of his handsome abs showing off his body after the bath. Ahhhhh, 8 pack! Two more pieces than before!
[Lu Lingyi]: He asked me if I wanted to go on vacation with him for two days on the weekend. Should I agree or should I agree or should I agree?
Cheng Yi was so bloated from the dog food that he couldn't sit still any longer. No, we are going to spend the night on vacation together, and I definitely can’t hide this from Lu Yu anymore.
Even if he supports Lu Lingyi's brave love, Lu Yu is his guardian after all. He really couldn't afford it if something went wrong.
It’s 5:30, time to get off work.
Today, Cheng Yi's chassis was quite stable and he was not the first one to rush out of the company.
He proofread all the documents translated by the AI pen, sent an email to Lu Yu, and then opened the door of Lu Yu's office with the printed paper version.
"Mr. Lu," Cheng Yi handed in his homework and thought about how to start the conversation, "It's a beautiful day, I'll treat you to a barbecue?"
"No." Lu Yu was busy typing on the computer and said without raising his head.
"Then I'll buy you a beer?"
Lu Yu slowed down his typing and looked up at him: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
"Well, I'll tell you. You asked me to say it, so you can't be angry..." Cheng Yi told Lu Lingyi and Liang Yu about their plan to go on vacation.
The matter of secret dates these two days was also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally.
As he expected, Lu Yu's face darkened when he heard it. Even though he tried his best to describe this story of reconciliation as beautiful, pure and touching... he was unable to see even the slightest relief on Lu Yu's face.
"Have you forgotten who pays your salary? You acted without consulting me. Do you still regard me as your boss?" Lu Yu raised his voice slightly, his black pupils as cold as a pond.
Cheng Yi suddenly felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant.
It seems that he is really angry. He stepped on his boss's minefield.
But since I've done everything I can, I might as well just let it go.
"Please calm down, calm down. Anger hurts your breasts," Cheng Yi said shamelessly, "I'm not hiding anything from you. I've reported everything to you. It's just a little delayed."
Lu Yu: “…”
"Actually, I think you haven't thought this through properly," Cheng Yi continued boldly, "Back then you lied to Lu Lingyi that Liang Yu abandoned him because he was seriously injured in a car accident. You have to pay back what you cheated. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, if I were Lu Lingyi, I would definitely try my best to rekindle the old flame."
Lu Yu looked at him, the darkness in his eyes deepened. Cheng Yi chose to ignore it and welded the task of spiritual mentor in his heart.
"If you ask me, parents should not be too controlling."
"Lu Lingyi is already a 20-year-old man. You can't deprive him of his right to love freely. Besides, he and Liang Yu are not violating the law of heaven. It's just homosexuality. I am also in this group. President Lu, you can't discriminate..."
Cheng Yi talked nonstop without stopping for a moment. After he finished speaking, he ran out of breath and took a deep breath. After adjusting his breathing, he turned his gaze back to Lu Yu, who had been silent the whole time.
"Well, the affirmative side has finished speaking. Now please welcome the negative debater."
He had a feeling that the opposing debaters would give him a bloody show.
However, Lu Yu did not respond, nor did he lose his temper unexpectedly. After a long silence, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Two fools."
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's right, love does make people stupid. Liang Yu and Lu Lingyi..."
"I'm talking about you and Lu Lingyi," Lu Yu interrupted him, "It's different when you're fooled once a day. You were the ones who were fooled by Liang Yu and used him as a pawn."
