After the humble spare tire set the car overturned

Not only that, he was also exposed to a scandal of plagiarizing other people's paintings, the academy dismissed him, and his reputation in all circles was completely ruined.

All of this happened in just a few days, and these days, the Internet is almost full of verbal criticism.

Lin Ao, once regarded as the leading figure of the next generation in the painting world, was cursed and slandered with the most vicious language.

Because of his scandal, some agencies that had signed with him wanted to terminate his contract and pay a large amount of liquidated damages.Lin Ai didn't argue too much, but readily paid the liquidated damages.This also caused him to lose almost all of his few remaining assets.

Chao Ci flipped through his mobile phone and watched them compare Lin Ao's paintings with another artist's every detail. They were almost identical in composition, and that artist also showed evidence of an earlier time. Lin Ao was completely defeated. Nailed on the pillar of shame for plagiarism.

Chaoci's hand holding the phone was shaking, and his chest was so congested with anger.

This painting is Lin Ao's famous work and enjoys a high reputation in the painting circle.Chao Ci didn't understand painting, and he didn't know Lin Ao before that, but if he said that Lin Ao would plagiarize, he dared to deny this possibility with his life.

Lin Ao is still calm.

He was looking at the computer at the desk, as if he was dealing with something.Seeing that Chaoci seemed to have no sound or movement for a long time, he turned his head and took a look.

He found his little boyfriend staring at the phone, with a look of bitterness and hatred.

He walked over, patted Chaoci on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't look at these."

As a grown-up Chaoci, he has been ostracized and bullied a lot, but this is the first time he really felt the most costless, malicious, and unprovoked cyber violence. He was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He could only look at Lin Xiao: "Aren't you angry?"

"What's there to be angry about?" Lin Ai smiled and rubbed Chao Ci's hair.

"These people are used to doing things that are high and low. If you really take their opinions seriously, then your life will be very tiring. Besides, what they say is not true, so why should you care?"

Chao Ci looked at this person who seemed to be indifferent, as if he didn't care at all, but felt even more bitter in his heart.

"Lin Zheng must have done it." He said bitterly, but felt very uncomfortable.

because of guilt.

If it wasn't for him, how could Lin Zheng target Lin Ao so much.

Now, most of the assets under Lin Ao's name have been taken back and frozen, and some assets that have nothing to do with the family have also been accompanied by liquidated damages, and the work has also been terminated.

If it wasn't for him...

"Don't think too much." Lin Ai took the mobile phone from Chaoci's hand and threw it on the bed, while he took Chaoci into his arms, "I robbed his treasure, and if he wants to take revenge on me, I will normal."

"The ones that were robbed are not as good as you, so I've made a lot of money."

Chao Ci muffled in his arms, "I'm not his treasure..."

You didn't take it away either.

It was meant to be yours.

Lin Ai smiled and rubbed Chaoci's slightly curly hair, but didn't speak.

How could it not be.

It's just that his arrogant and arrogant elder brother is unwilling to look directly into his heart.

Of course he wanted to take advantage of this time to grab his treasure.

"I'm just sorry, we may have a difficult time in the future." Lin Xiao said.

Chao Ci shook his head in his arms, and then hugged Lin Ao's waist tightly.

…………

Lin Ai terminated the contract with the school, so naturally he couldn't live in the professor's apartment.

He rented an apartment next to the school.

Of course, Chaoci didn't want him to face it alone at this time, so he moved out of his doctor's apartment and lived with Lin Ao.

Although Lin Ai has lost his job, a capable person will never lack the means to make a living no matter where he goes.

He received many drawings on the Internet, sold them anonymously, or received some designs, etc., which were enough to allow him to live a wealthy life.

Chaoci was also slightly relieved.

However, such a good situation did not last for a few days. On the third day, all the orders Lin Ai received were returned, and they only needed to pay a deposit.

Lin Ao pressed his temples in front of the table and sighed.

It is worthy of his brother's style to rush to kill him to this point.

In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, but after all, he took a chance.

He didn't want to tell Chaoci about these things, but he went out to find a day's work the next day.

However, if he didn't tell Chaoci, it is impossible for Chaoci to guess.

After Lin Ai returned home, what he saw was Chaoci with red eyes, sitting on the sofa.Hearing the sound of the door being opened, he looked at him with a pair of red rabbit-like eyes.

Lin Ai's heart ached immediately, he stepped forward quickly, wiped away Chaoci's tears with his fingertips, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Chaoci suddenly threw himself into his arms, and said sorry to him in tears.

Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from him.

Lin Ao was a little helpless.

He held up Chao Ci's face, kissed away his tears little by little, then looked at him and said, "Fool, what are you thinking?"

"Those lists have all been withdrawn, but Lin Zheng is not alone. My mother still had several family friends, and one of them was willing to trust me and invited me to work as a designer in their company. Although because of my current reputation It’s not good, it can’t be a high position, but it’s pretty good.” He said.

In fact, it's not that he has nothing to do with Lin Zheng.Although he has never thought of taking power in these years, it is not that he has left behind.It's just that it takes some time, and during this time, he has to paralyze Lin Zheng.

If he had known earlier that he would encounter Chao Ci and would want the treasures in his brother's hands, he would not have been able to push back those powers all these years.But it's not Lin Ao's style to say regret now.

Chaoci looked at him suspiciously.

However, when Lin Ai told a lie, he couldn't see any flaws.

In the end, Chao Ci took the initiative to kiss Lin Ao.

"You can't mark me, you want me too, okay?"

…………

Chaoci slept until noon and didn't get up.

The body is very dry, the memory of last night seems to be staying in Lin Ao and carrying him into the bathroom.

Chaoci got up, but still felt that his steps were sloppy when he walked.

He was a little bit emotional: [These two brothers, among other things, are worthy of being twins in terms of kidney function. 】

Especially last night was Lin Ao's first time eating meat. This person usually looks very gentle, but last night he wanted to swallow him alive.

The system understands Chao Ci's nature better than most people, it rolled its eyes and asked: [Is it cool? 】

【Cool! 】Chaoci is outspoken.

[Go to work when you feel good, do you still want to leave? 】

【Yes I do. 】Chaoci rubbed his waist, 【Isn't this a combination of work and rest? 】

He was about to act according to his plan, but suddenly found something interesting.

On Lin Ao's desk, one drawer was locked.

Chao Ci has experience in picking locks, and if he wants to pass through so many worlds, he has no skills.

He got a wire, reached into the keyhole and fiddled a few times, and the lock was opened.

There are many paintings in it.

At the bottom is a planning book for an art exhibition and a small notebook.

The desired date should be two days later.

In the notebook, there are some messy manuscripts written, which are Lin Ao's ideas for this exhibition. Judging from the original date, it actually started two years ago.

Chaoci had seen these paintings, and they were all displayed in Lin Ao's studio.Some were painted by Lin Ao before, and some were drawn by Lin Ao with him.

Lin Ai's infinite painstaking efforts were poured into each one.

In one of them, Chao Ci spent a whole month looking at Lin Ai.

They would have been treasured in studios, exhibited in exhibitions, and admired by all.And because Lin Ai was slandered, this art exhibition that he had planned for two years had to be suspended.

Even, this small apartment only has one bedroom and one living room, not even a studio.These paintings can only be squeezed into this small drawer.

Chaoci's eyes gradually turned red, and there seemed to be something stuck in his throat.

I couldn't breathe.

…………

But it was his turn to hide this matter from Lin Ao.

When Lin Ai came back at night, Chao Ci didn't show any abnormality, and Lin Ao didn't know that the secret he had hidden in the drawer had been discovered by Chao Ci.

The next day Lin Ai went out early, but when the sound of the door being closed came, Chao Ci who was sleeping soundly suddenly opened his eyes.

He put on his clothes casually and quickly, and turned on his phone.

He installed a positioning applet on Lin Ai's phone yesterday.In order to conform to the personality of Chaoci in this world, he still checked the Internet for a long time, pretending that he had learned some very simple and clumsy tricks.But Lin Ai didn't guard against him, so everything went smoothly.

An hour later, Chaoci left the door.

According to the positioning, he took the subway for half an hour, walked for another 10 minutes, and finally arrived at a place only tens of meters away from Lin Niu.

He was standing across the road with a restaurant in front of him.

According to the location, Lin Ao should be in that restaurant.

Chaoci didn't dare to get too close, so he could only look for his lover bit by bit across the road and through the glass of the restaurant.

Finally, he found it.

His lover, in the center of the restaurant, plays the piano on a small table.

He wasn't embarrassed at all, he was clearly sitting in a restaurant as a pianist, but he seemed to be sitting in the shadow of all eyes.

Calm and noble.

But Lin Ai shouldn't be like this.

He shouldn't be like this.

This thought came to Chaoci after he saw a table of people handing tips to Lin Ai.

People like Lin Ao shouldn't have any adversity.

He is a person who grew up in good times and at the top of the pyramid.He should have the wealth at his fingertips and the respect that others take for granted. Only in this way can he create Lin Ao, a gentle, firm, and free-wheeling Lin Ao.

Instead of trapping yourself in such a situation for a person who has only known him for a few months.

It was as if something that was firmly supported in my heart was broken.

It also seems that there is a thought that has always existed, and it is finally completely fed and grown by these guilty emotions.

Chao Ci returned to his and Lin Ao's apartment in a daze.

He took out his mobile phone, and tremblingly pressed the string of numbers that he used to be very familiar with, but later thought he would never dial again in this life.

The call was quickly connected.

"Resignation."

The man's voice sounded as quiet as ever.

But to Chao Ci's ears, it was extremely harsh.

"What do you want to stop?"
