Pendulum Rider

Chapter 43 Pastoral Song #A Line#

On the day when Lin Jiayi and the prince came back from a solo trip, they received several calls from strangers. At that time, Lin Xiwu asked him to turn off his phone and hurried out the door.That day Lin Xiwu actually missed the dinner time and came home, which is really unbelievable. He is usually very sensitive to the meal time and is also very punctual.Lin Xiwu asked Lin Jiayi to turn on the phone to try it out after returning home at night, and he never received any strange calls after that. It seems that Lin Xiwu solved everything for him.

However, in fact not everything has been resolved. At the beginning of November, Lin Jiayi’s biological mother visited their home with a gift bag. It was Lin Xiwu who opened the door. After passing the bag, he opened it in front of the visitor. Seeing that there were all kinds of loose snacks inside, he warmly invited the visitor to sit down and brought her tea and water.

When Lin Jiayi came out of her room to pour water in the kitchen, she was stunned when she saw her biological mother in the living room, and the water glass in her hand almost slipped.

"Jiajia." The biological mother stood up from the sofa suddenly, hugging him as excitedly as before.

Lin Xiwu at the side realized something was wrong.

"I won't move in there to live with you." Lin Jiayi finally said after a long time, his voice was very firm, and Lin Xiwu nodded after hearing it.

"Mom didn't come here this time to ask you to move in with me. Your grandfather died of illness. Can you come to attend the funeral? It doesn't matter if you come just for a day. I'll introduce you to other relatives by the way."

Lin Jiayi had never met his grandfather. To him, his biological mother and grandfather were like strangers. However, he hesitated for a moment and agreed to his biological mother's request.The appointed time was set on the first Saturday in November, and the location was actually in the countryside, not a funeral parlor.

Since Lin Jiayi felt that she didn't know any relatives, it would be embarrassing to go, so she asked the prince to accompany her.On the appointed day, the two arrived at the funeral in Lin Jiayi's biological mother's car.Lin Jiayi, who usually lives in the city, rarely comes into contact with this kind of pastoral scenery. He was surprised to find that there are hidden farmlands in the city. Although it is in the countryside, some houses look old, and some people have built new houses. It looks like a private villa.

There was a lot of private cars parked on an empty gravel road. They were all relatives who came to attend the funeral. Lin Jiayi and the others also got out of the car in this "parking lot". He opened the car window just now and took a deep breath. With an idyllic atmosphere, after getting off the car, he stretched his body, then looked towards the field, and saw that there were many greenhouses in the field, and there were also vegetables grown in the open air that he didn't know the name of.Maybe spring and summer are the most beautiful time in the countryside. He imagined the scene of greenery everywhere and butterflies flying around.Suddenly, two Chinese pastoral dogs playing in the field caught his sight. He was about to walk towards the field when he was caught by a hand behind him.

"Jiayi, where are you going?" The prince's voice was very helpless.

"Can I go and see the dog for a while?" Lin Jiayi turned around and asked in a pleading tone.

"No." The prince immediately vetoed it.

"Mom, can I go and see the dog for a while?" Lin Jiayi looked at his biological mother, this was the first time he called his mother.

"Okay, go and see. I'll go and say hello to my relatives first, and then I'll call you." The biological mother locked the car door and left first.

The prince glanced at Lin Jiayi with disdain, and said heavily, "Scheming bitch."

"Didn't you just call me Mom? Do you need to scold me like that?" But Lin Jiayi knew that the prince didn't really want to scold him, so he walked towards the field without paying any attention to it.

"I said, is the dog so good-looking? It's still a little dirt dog of average appearance." The prince chased after him.

"At least it's better looking than you." Lin Jiayi replied casually and caused a critical blow to the prince.

The prince pulled Lin Jiayi past him and told him to turn around and face him. Lin Jiayi cast a puzzled look at the prince. He didn't know what the prince was going to do.

The two dogs on the field not far away stopped biting and rolling, and one male dog suddenly landed on the back of the other and began to shake in confusion.

At this time, Lin Jiayi suddenly felt a force pushing him downwards, and he fell backwards. The blue sky and white clouds flashed past his eyes quickly. When he realized it, he had already lay down on the field. But there were hands resting on the back of his head, so he was just startled, not hurt.The prince's face blocked his eyes, blocking the blue sky and white clouds in his sight. The prince seemed to have fallen to the ground with him just now. Lin Jiayi suddenly realized that the other party had pushed him for no reason.

"What are you pushing me for?"

The prince smiled without saying a word, followed by a wet kiss. Lin Jiayi's head was so hot from the kiss that he didn't notice the prince's hand movements at all.A few dogs barking in the distance brought Lin Jiayi back to his senses. He suddenly felt cold and realized that his thighs had been exposed to the air.

Lin Jiayi pushed the prince hard, but the prince didn't move at all. On the contrary, his hands didn't stop.

The thought of calling for help flashed through Lin Jiayi's mind, he didn't want others to see his current ugly state.

"Don't make trouble, my biological mother is here." Lin Jiayi said while grabbing the restless hand of the prince.

"Senior, you can't fool me." The prince leaned over and put all his weight on Lin Jiayi's body.

"I didn't lie to you, someone really came here." Lin Jiayi was a little breathless under the weight of the prince.

Only then did the prince stop his movements and listen to the surrounding sounds, and found that the sound of a high-heeled shoe was approaching, so he clicked his tongue, stood up first, and looked towards the source of the sound.Lin Jiayi also hurriedly put on her pants and stood up.

The sound of high-heeled shoes stopped, and then a familiar female voice came, and the voice of the other party was full of contempt: "Dog boy."

"Xi Lin? Why are you here?" Lin Jiayi said dumbfounded.

"My aunt asked me to call you, and she said you were looking after the dog." Lu Xilin glanced at Lin Jiayi's somewhat messy appearance, and said with disgust, "Before you go to see your relatives, you should tidy up your clothes."

"Are you my relative?" Lin Jiayi was shocked, just like when Lu Xilin was told that Lin Jiayi and her were related by blood.

"Yes, cousin, don't talk nonsense to other relatives about the four years of college, I told my aunt that we are ordinary classmates." Lu Xilin said the word 'ordinary' with special emphasis.

"You are my cousin?" Lin Jiayi hadn't come out of the shock yet.

"Don't ask me a second time, or I'll beat you."

"That is to say, my surname is actually Lu like yours?" Lin Jiayi pointed at himself in a daze, and then pointed at Lu Xilin with his index finger.

"You should take your father's surname Lin, not your aunt's."

"Are there other relatives of the same age besides us?" This is the question that Lin Jiayi is most concerned about at present.

"It's gone, it's all these brats who want to call us uncles and aunts."

"Great." Lin Jiayi almost thought that Brother Lu was also related to him by blood.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up." Lu Xilin said as she kicked Lin Jiayi, and then drove him towards the Lu family compound like a duck. The toe of her high-heeled shoes poked Lin Jiayi's thigh with pain.

Lin Jiayi frowned in pain and said, "I haven't contacted you since graduation."

"Is there a need for contact?" Lu Xilin suddenly stretched out her hand and patted Lin Jiayi's head and back vigorously, "You are covered in mud, are you still the one who pays attention to how you dress in front of strangers?"

"Scared me, I thought you were going to be violent again, and you shot so hard." Lin Jiayi turned his head slightly, and looked at Lu Xilin who was diagonally behind.

"It's been a long time since I smoked you, I've had a good time."

"But since we are cousins, it's really domestic violence." Lin Jiayi's focus is always so different.

"You just owe it." Lu Xilin said and patted Lin Jiayi's back vigorously. If it was summer, then as soon as he opened his shirt, he could see the red mark on his back. Luo Yaxin saw it I will definitely say "Like a maple leaf tattoo, it is really full of love from my girlfriend".

The prince watched the daily domestic violence silently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

When the three of them stepped into the compound, they stopped fighting, and there were bursts of crying in the house, and there was a coffin in the center of the hall, and there were several wreaths beside the coffin, and relatives surrounded the coffin Next to them, everyone looked serious, and those who were crying were the close relatives of the deceased, one of whom was Lin Jiayi's biological mother, as if she was putting on a show, crying exaggeratedly, when she noticed Lin Jiayi, she stopped crying instantly , wiped away tears, brought Lin Jiayi to the coffin, and introduced to the deceased, actually to everyone present: "Your grandson has come to see you, too."

This is the second corpse Lin Jiayi has seen this year. The first is Li Yan, and the second is a very strange grandfather. The face of the old man in the coffin is very peaceful, and it is impossible to imagine that he was tortured to death by illness.Lin Jiayi stared at the deceased silently. He was not sad at all, but only curious. He tried hard to find the similarities between the deceased and himself, but he didn't seem to find that his appearance was inherited from the other person.

Looking at it, Lin Jiayi suddenly saw the deceased as Lu Haikong, but he hadn't seen Brother Lu for a long time, so the face of Brother Lu in his mind became a little blurry.He was taken aback by himself, rubbed his eyes quickly, and looked at the deceased again. The deceased was still the same, and had not changed into Lu Haikong.He would regard the deceased as Brother Lu, it must be because the deceased was also surnamed Lu.

After the birth mother introduced Lin Jiayi, she returned to her old seat and continued to cry loudly.

Lin Jiayi felt that there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him curiously behind him, so he felt uncomfortable. He stepped aside with hands and feet, and stood beside Lu Xilin and the prince.

Lin Jiayi was extremely tormented while waiting for the end of the farewell ceremony for the body. His eyes wandered around the hall, looking at the crying relatives of the deceased for a while, looking at the photos of the deceased in front of the coffin for a while, and then looking at the people around him. Lu Xilin looked and found that Lu Xilin wasn't crying, and her eyes weren't even red. Then he looked at the relatives who were curious about his existence, but accidentally met his eyes, and both of them moved away in embarrassment. Opened the line of sight.

It seemed that it had been a long time, and Lin Jiayi's feet were sore from standing, but the ceremony was not over yet, and the sounds of gongs and drums were deafening.When he saw that someone finally came to lift the coffin, he thought he was finally liberated, and his feet went limp. If the prince at the side hadn't supported him, he would have just sat down on the ground.

Afterwards, the coffin was sent to the funeral parlor for cremation. After the final arrangements, the relatives got together for a meal. During the meal, the relatives mistook the prince for Lu Xilin's boyfriend. Lu Xilin couldn't argue with it. When she explained that the prince was actually Lin Jiayi's boyfriend, her relatives said that she was very humorous, so Lu Xilin could only laugh and let them say whatever they wanted.When Lu Xilin laughed, she glanced at Lin Jiayi. Lin Jiayi shuddered. He had already expected the result and was mentally prepared for the next domestic violence.

Sure enough, when the relatives drove away one after another, Lin Jiayi was chased and beaten by Lu Xilin: "You are attending a funeral, what are you bringing a man with you? You are not here to attend a ball. It's all your fault, I was misunderstood."

"It's just being misunderstood, and it won't do anything." Lin Jiayi fled in the field with his head in his arms, regardless of his image.

After Lin Jiayi's biological mother finished cleaning the house, she looked at the two "frolicking" from a distance, and then murmured to herself, "They have such a good relationship, like brothers and sisters."

"Auntie, do you dislike me and Jiayi?" Just now the prince was also helping to tidy up together, hoping to improve his impression score a little bit.

"How can the same gender be together?" The biological mother didn't even look at the prince, her eyes were fixed on the two little angels in the field.

"I'm not the same gender as him." The prince's words really made sense.

The birth mother was slightly startled and said, "But you can't have a baby."

"He can't have a baby with a woman."

"Last time you said that he could make a girl pregnant." Then the biological mother turned her head, looked directly at the prince and said.

"Actually, it's not possible. Jiayi is indifferent to women, unless artificial insemination is used."

"It's not easy."

"Are you going to ignore Jiayi's choice?"

"You, an outsider, don't care so much." The voice of the biological mother sounded full of dislike for the prince.

The prince pursed his lips and remained silent. He looked into the field and saw that the two people in the distance had stopped playing and were sitting on the ground, looking at Yun Juan Yun Shu. There was a distance between them, seemingly intimate , in fact there is a gap.Because the compound is too far away from the two, the conversation between the two cannot be heard, maybe they are not talking, but looking up at the blue sky silently together.

At this moment in the field, the atmosphere of silence was broken by Lu Xilin, she said in a commanding tone: "It's too boring, tell me about the person in your heart."

Lin Jiayi didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, so he struggled for a moment and said, "There's nothing to say."

"I know who that person is, Lu Haikong, right?"

"How do you know?" Lin Jiayi turned to look at Lu Xilin in surprise.

"I saw him a few days ago." Lu Xilin said nonsense seriously, because she didn't want to tell the other party the real reason, and she didn't want him to know that she knew one of his ex-girlfriends.

"Really! Where did you see it?" Lin Jiayi's reaction was bigger than before, and he moved a little closer to Lu Xilin.

"In a hospital in Huangpu District, I'm working in the obstetrics department. I learned his name when he brought his wife to have a check-up." Lu Xilin said nonsense.

"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? There are many people with the same name and surname."

"I asked him about his zodiac sign when we were chatting, and he said he was a Scorpio."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Brother Lu doesn't live in Huangpu District." Lin Jiayi firmly believed that if Brother Lu returned to China, he would definitely tell him, let alone marry a woman casually.

"He is married, and his wife lives in Huangpu." Seeing Lin Jiayi's flustered expression, Lu Xilin thought it was very interesting, so she asked, "You have your prince, so shouldn't he be allowed to have a wife?"

"Not allowed." Lin Jiayi, who had always been hesitant, was firm on this matter.

"He doesn't want you anymore, are you qualified to say no?" When Lu Xilin launched a verbal offensive against Lin Jiayi, she felt a burst of pleasure in her heart. The more pained Lin Jiayi showed, the happier she felt.

Lu Xilin's words reminded Lin Jiayi of the time when he sent Brother Lu to study abroad, the other party suddenly proposed to him to break up at the airport. Looking back now, that moment is still heart-wrenching.

"Shall we change the subject?" Lin Jiayi felt like his heart was beating like a dick, telling him the pain, maybe a few minutes or a few seconds later, the blood vessels would burst in pain.

"Okay, tell me something about when you first met." Lu Xilin still clung to the topic of Lu Haikong.

Lin Jiayi's thoughts drifted back from the scene of the breakup to his childhood. He was supposed to be in kindergarten, but because of his frailty and sickness, he kept going back and forth between the hospital and his home. The neighbor's brother Lu Haikong would visit his home after school.When he was lying in bed with a fever, Brother Lu would still tell him fairy tales.

Because at that time, Lin Jiayi was always forced by his mother Clara to wear a princess dress, so Brother Lu told him many fairy tales about princes and princesses.

"In the Kingdom of Lin, I am a princess, and I am going to a neighboring country to find my prince." At that time, Lin Jiayi was a little fuzzy about the concept of gender, but after listening to the story, he regained his energy, so he started fantasizing on the bed.

"Do you mean me by the prince next door?" Brother Lu also climbed onto the bed and turned sideways to look at Lin Jiayi.

"No, Brother Lu is a deer, not a prince."

"deer?"

"There are many deer in my kingdom. You are the most special and beautiful deer. You are honored to be ridden by me to find the prince." The young Lin Jiayi even said the word "honour". , I don't know where I learned it from.

"I'd rather be your knight than an animal, and don't they usually ride horses? The princes and princesses in the stories all ride horses."

"But Brother Lu is a deer, not a horse."

"According to the zodiac, I am a sheep."

"I'm a dog, I can eat you up." The topic drifted in a strange direction.

"I'm older than you, can you eat it?"

"Eat it in several meals, and you can eat it."

"What kind of dog do you like?" Brother Lu forcefully changed the subject.

"puppy."

"What breed of puppy?"

Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment and said, "I like all the cute ones, but my parents won't buy them for me."

"Then I'll start saving my pocket money now, and I'll buy you a little Teddy in the future."

"really?"

"Would I still lie to you?"

"I like Brother Lu the most."

"I like Jiayi the most too." Brother Lu said, he put his arms around Lin Jiayi's small body, and then patted Lin Jiayi's body with one hand regularly. Lin Jiayi was put to sleep.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Lu Xilin shook her hand in front of Lin Jiayi's eyes, "Did you think of anything interesting?"

"When I was young, I told Brother Lu that I would ride him to find the prince, but the reality is that the prince of the pox country came to me."

Lin Jiayi got up slowly, patted the grass on his pants, and then looked towards the courtyard, and found that the prince and his biological mother were staring at him.

"Are you going back?" Lu Xilin also stood up, "You still didn't say anything, so let me say it. A few days ago, I was in the obstetrics department of the hospital..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!" Lin Jiayi said as he rushed back to the compound as fast as he could.

The prince who greeted him at the gate of the compound hugged his "running wild horse" into his arms, and joked, "I haven't seen you for a while, so you want to fall into my arms so much?"

Suddenly, the cell phone rang as if it was just the right time. The prince had no choice but to let go of Lin Jiayi's arms within a few seconds, then took out the cell phone from his trousers pocket, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and showed panic , then glanced at Lin Jiayi again and said, "I'm going out to answer the phone."

After finishing speaking, the prince strode towards the outside of the house. After pressing the answer button, he put the mobile phone close to his ear and covered his mouth with the other hand, trying to prevent the people around him from hearing the content of the call. There is no need to do this, because the other party hung up the phone without saying anything.

"He is angry, so the cooperation ends here, and we will be enemies from now on." The prince thought about the other party's words for a long time before finally accepting this sudden change.
