Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 41 Competition

"I'm looking for Yan Yue, is he there?"

The man who spoke was polite, his voice was nice, with a slight magnetism, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, it was the first time anyone came to the store to look for Yan Yue.When he came back to his senses, he bent his eyes and said politely: "Brother Yan is not here now. He went to the flower garden to collect goods and should be back soon. Would you like to sit down and wait for Brother Yan?"

His smile was clean, his voice was clear, and his tone was sincere. The scrutiny in the eyes of the visitors slowly faded away, revealing a warm smile. "Okay, sorry to trouble you. I am Ye Kang, and you are Lu Lingxi, right?"

"Huh?" Lu Lingxi was a little surprised, and then laughed, "I'm Lu Lingxi, did brother Yan tell you?"

Ye Kang smiled and said nothing, but he was full of slander in his heart. Yan Yue was like a giant dragon who discovered a treasure, wishing to hide Lu Ling tightly, how could he be willing to tell him these things.

Speaking of which, Yan Yue grew up with him, and they have always talked about everything, even the privacy of the family that outsiders would consider disgraced has not been hidden from him.Only Yan Yue refused to say anything about Lu Lingxi, and he was even so stingy that he didn't even want to reveal his name.It was only when Su Lang called him a few days ago and mentioned that he had met Yan Yue by accident, that he followed the clues and asked Yan Yue's location.

Ye Kang also hid it from Yan Yue this time, and he was a little worried about Yan Yue.Ye Kang never paid attention to the fights in the Yan family, he believed that Yan Yue could handle them well, but Ye Kang was a little worried about Lu Lingxi who appeared suddenly.Accustomed to all kinds of conspiracy theories, Ye Kang always felt that Lu Lingxi's appearance was too coincidental, and the more abnormal Yan Yue's reaction was, the more it showed Lu Lingxi's influence on him.After much deliberation, Ye Kangsi decided to come and see Lu Lingxi in person.

Seeing this, Ye Kang finally felt relieved.As a psychiatrist that Yan Yue called "half-handed", Ye Kang felt that he was quite accurate in seeing people.The young man in front of him looked innocent and easy to deceive, he was ignorant of worldly affairs, he had always been worried that the young man had bewitched Yan Yue, but now it seemed that he needed to reverse it, it was really not sure who was lying to whom.

Thinking of this in his heart, Ye Kang's expression became more and more gentle.He has the same good appearance as Yan Yue, but unlike Yan Yue who is cold to outsiders, Ye Kang has always known how to use this appearance to gain the favor of others.He majored in psychology at university, so it's not an exaggeration to say that his profession can deceive people.After chatting a few words, Lu Lingxi's favor for him gradually increased.When Ye Kang spoke, the speed of his speech was neither too fast nor too slow, and the rhythm was quite well controlled. He got a lot of words out of Lu Lingxi's mouth without making a fuss.

"Brother Yan is a very nice person. He has saved Dahei, and Dahei also likes Brother Yan very much."

"Brother Yan looks a bit cold, but he has a cold face and a warm heart. He is actually a good person."

"Brother Yan helped me a lot, and many regular customers nearby also like Brother Yan. Last time, Grandma Wang said that she would introduce Brother Yan to a girlfriend."

Ye Kang had a pleasant smile on his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart.If Su Lang hadn't told him this address, he would have thought that the Yan Yue Lu Lingxi was talking about was not the same person as the Yan Yue he knew.Perhaps because of the special family environment, in Ye Kang's eyes, Yan Yue's temperament is a bit cold, with strong self-discipline and slight perfectionism.He is not only strict with himself, but also strict with those around him.Yan Yue's life is like a machine, step by step but no fun.

But according to Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue is a completely different person.He is full of love. He will treat a stray dog ​​on a rainy night, visit an injured dog during his lunch break every day, meet and help strangers he meets, loves flowers and plants, and is soft-hearted and compassionate.To be honest, Ye Kang and Yan Yue have known each other for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I heard that Yan Yue has these qualities in him.

Ye Kang looked at Lu Lingxi thoughtfully. The young man's eyes were clear and he had a very comfortable aura. When he talked about Yan Yue, his brows and eyes were full of trust.He really believed that Yan Yue was the kind of person he said, without the slightest doubt.He probably understood why Yan Yue treated the boy so unusually.There is an attractiveness about the boy, like a feeling of warmth mixed with light.He could imagine Yan Yue's first reaction when he saw the young man. People like Yan Yue, who lacked warmth since childhood and lived in that kind of chaotic family, must be unable to resist this kind of attraction, and would want to get closer uncontrollably.

It's as if a person has been walking in a dark and cold tunnel for a long time, when a light suddenly appears in front of him, he will subconsciously approach and follow that light.

Ye Kang analyzed habitually in his heart, when a big black dog suddenly rushed in at the door.This should be the big black?Ye Kang guessed.Sure enough, Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up, "Dahei, you're back, where's Brother Yan?"

"Xiaoxi."

Someone came in at the door, all his attention was on Lu Lingxi, and he didn't even cast any extra eyes to other places.The corner of Ye Kang's mouth twitched, and it was the first time he realized that he was so invisible.The face in front of him was a bit different from his memory, he had taken off his usual shirt and trousers, and was wearing a simple and refreshing T-shirt and shorts, looking full of vitality.He remembered that when Yan Yue was abroad, the shirt was still straight in the [-]-degree heat, and the buttons had to be fastened to the top, and it was rare to see Yan Yue wearing a T-shirt.

Ye Kang coughed slightly, "Yan Yue."

Lu Lingxi said at the same time, "Brother Yan is looking for you."

Yan Yue turned around unexpectedly, "Ye Kang", and then gave Ye Kang a warning look.Ye Kang immediately raised his hands with a playful smile, and made a gesture that both of them knew, implying Yan Yue: Don't worry, I didn't say anything.

Yan Yue looked away with a half-smile, and put the stack of flower pots in his arms on the ground.The top pot is stuffed with sachets of nutritious fertilizer, seemingly to save space.He brought back a lot of flower pots this time, and Lu Lingxi wanted to come out to help, but Yan Yue stopped him, and signaled to Ye Kang, "The two of us are enough. It's hot outside, Xiaoxi, don't go out."

Ye Kang: "..."

It took the two of them three times to move everything. Ye Kang patted the dust-covered trunk in grief, and said distressedly, "Baby, your master treats you like a truck. Do you want to change the master?"

Yan Yue was too lazy to talk to Ye Kang, threw him a bottle of water, interrupted his performance, leaned on the car and casually asked: "Tell me, did Su Lang tell you?"

Ye Kang laughed, and said narcissistically, "You know, as Professor Susan's most outstanding student, if I try to make jokes, Su Lang won't even notice."

Yan Yue hummed thoughtfully, and said abruptly, "How much did you talk about from Xiaoxi?"

Ye Kang chuckled and said, "It's enough for me to write a thesis on how a pervert pretends to approach a pure and good boy with deliberate deliberate efforts."

Yan Yue: "..."

Ye Kang continued to tease, "I don't even know when I have a friend who is full of love, kindness, and compassion. To be honest, you know that I like this car for a long time. You see, you are very friendly to strangers. Full of kindness, shouldn’t it be more so to me? As a good brother, shouldn’t you fulfill my wish?”

Yan Yue glanced at him expressionlessly, and Ye Kang said fearlessly: "Xiao Xi can watch inside, keep smiling, don't destroy your image in his mind."

Yan Yue finally couldn't take it anymore, "...Get lost."

Ye Kang laughed loudly, and said seriously after laughing, "Do you feel that you are more popular now?"

Yan Yue didn't take it seriously, "Could it be that I wasn't popular before?"

Ye Kang nodded solemnly. "In the past, you either had an expressionless face, or you smiled and even the curvature of the corner of your mouth seemed to be calculated in advance. That is to say, I don't dislike you. You go to the circle of classmates to ask, and no one will say that you live like a machine. "

Yan Yue hooked the corners of his mouth and did not speak. He looked up through the window and glanced at Lu Lingxi who was arranging the potted plants with his head down, and a gentleness flashed in his eyes.

Ye Kang saw it, put away his joking attitude, and said seriously: "Are you serious?"

Yan Yue hummed.

Ye Kangsi and Yan Yue's family, "Your parents..."

Yan Yue looked indifferent, "Since when I was six years old, they thought I could live on my own in the old house on my own, so there is no need to wait for me to be 27, and they will come back to pick up the role of parents and want to control my life. Pointing fingers."

He said it harshly, and Ye Kang sighed, "You can make up your own mind."

Through the window, Lu Lingxi glanced at Yan Yue who was talking to Ye Kang outside, feeling a little confused.Not knowing what the two were talking about, Yan Yue's expression was a little cold, and his brows were slightly frowned with a hint of disgust.He rarely saw Yan Yue like this, only when he heard Yan Yue calling in the car last time, it seemed that the other party mentioned Yan Yue's younger brother, Yan Yue showed such genuine disgust.Could it be that Ye Kang also mentioned Yan Yue's younger brother just now?What did the other party do to make Yan more angry?

Ye Kang was a little gloating, "You found someone to promote Yin Ya into the union? Do you know that she is competing with Yan Yue for the qualification to go abroad in a high-profile way, and the two sides have been fighting quite fiercely recently."

Yan Yue's expression was slightly cold, revealing a hint of mockery. "Didn't she always want to enter Hepu? I just wanted to help her."

Ye Kang shook his head, "I heard that Yan Shibo has quite a headache."

Yan Yue didn't respond to this sentence, and said lightly: "When he was planning for Yan Hai, he should have thought that such a day would come."

Ye Kang had always stood by Yan Yue's side, and acted as if he hadn't heard Yan Yue's rebellious words.He drank the water in his hand in one gulp, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, and threw it into the bucket perfectly, then asked, "What are you going to do? Stay in Fengcheng forever?"

Yan Yue nodded, "An Jie will be here soon, I need your help."

"what?"

Yan Yue knocked on the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "Let's make it look like I'm going abroad for recuperation."

Now that Yan Hai and Yin Ya are busy fighting for power, it is estimated that no one can take care of him.After a while, when Yan Shihai finished dealing with Hepu's affairs, he might think of his forgotten son.If he finds Xiaoxi at that time, he doesn't want to involve Xiaoxi.It is not difficult to do this kind of thing, and it is no problem to forge an exit document.Yan Yue asked Ye Kang to be his witness. It is estimated that no one would doubt Ye Kang's words, and he could stay in Fengcheng with peace of mind.

Ye Kang readily agreed, but...his eyes fell on the car behind Yan Yue.

Yan Yue glanced at him with a half-smile, took out the key and threw it to him.

"It's cheaper for you."

"I'm also doing it for your own good. This car is too ostentatious. Later, I will drive you my Volkswagen that is about to be scrapped. It will definitely make you blend into the crowd without being conspicuous at all."

Yan Yue: "..."

Ye Kang shamelessly spent the whole afternoon in Weiyuan, and at night he clamored to invite Lu Lingxi to dinner.Lu Lingxi turned off Micro Gardening and politely declined Ye Kang's invitation.He had to go to the flower garden to prepare the green plants that Brother Li wanted.

Yan Yue naturally wanted to go with him, and before leaving, he thought about tricking Ye Kang into the car.Although he still wanted to stay in the suburbs directly after working late like last time, but considering the number of orders this time, his reluctance to be too tired of Lu Lingxi gained the upper hand.As a strong laborer, Ye Kang can still play a role.Ye Kang didn't know what they were going to do, so he followed them to the flower garden in a daze.By the time he regretted it, he was already in the farmland in the outskirts, and he couldn't go back even if he wanted to.The three of them, plus Uncle Li, made it to eleven o'clock, and finally prepared all the potted plants that Brother Li wanted.

On the way back, Lu Lingxi was a little sleepy, and unconsciously fell asleep holding Dahei.Yan Yue saw from the rearview mirror that he was asleep, and subconsciously slowed down the speed of the car, driving more and more smoothly.

Ye Kang lowered his voice angrily and complained about Yan Yue's unfair treatment, his waist was about to break, why didn't Yan Yue show consideration for him.

Yan Yue glanced at him, "My advantage is so easy to take advantage of."

Ye Kang was speechless for a while, then changed the subject abruptly. "By the way, I said why the name Lu Lingxi is so familiar. I suddenly remembered it when I just moved the basin. You know the Lu family in Zhongjing. The youngest grandson of their family is called Lu Lingxi. But I heard that he passed away two months ago."

The word "death" made Yan Yue a little nervous, and he asked casually, "The Lu Lingxi you mentioned is not in good health?"

Ye Kang smiled sarcastically, "It's his elder brother Lu Weian who is in poor health. You have been abroad and don't know about their family's situation. Do you have an impression of Lu Weian? We met him when we were young. He was thin and small and inconspicuous. Later He got leukemia, and his mother gave birth to another child, Lu Lingxi. Doesn’t leukemia need a matched person to transplant bone marrow? It is said that Lu Lingxi was specially born to transplant bone marrow to Lu Weian. The Lu family has kept him at home all these years , I don’t come out to meet people very often. Some time ago, I heard that Lu Weian’s condition had deteriorated again, and something happened during the operation. By the way, Su Lang was in charge of Lu Weian before he resigned. I think Su Lang is also the same I resigned because of this accident."

Yan Yue was not very interested in the affairs of the Lu family in Zhongjing, but when he heard the reason for Su Lang's resignation, he suddenly remembered Su Lang's tone when he mentioned Lu Lingxi at the gate of Weiyuan Garden last time, and frowned slightly.He vaguely felt that Su Lang seemed to regard Xiaoxi as Lu Lingxi's substitute, and this feeling made him a little uncomfortable.

Xiaoxi is Xiaoxi, the unique Lu Lingxi in this world.

Ye Kang was still gossip about the Lu family, "You know Lu Weian's mother, the daughter of the Li family, it is said that she plans to have another child for Lu Weian. But this news was denied by the Lu family. It is said that Lu Weian's father did not agree."

Yan Yue's interest in gossip was not as high as Ye Kang's, but he just listened indifferently, and echoed in a low voice from time to time.

Neither of them noticed that Lu Lingxi woke up at some point, and hugged Dahei silently all the way without making any movement.Dahei quietly licked Lu Lingxi's fingers, and looked at Lu Lingxi tenderly with wet eyes.Lu Lingxi clenched her hands tightly, and smiled slightly at Dahei.

When Yan Yue sent Lu Lingxi home, Lu Lingxi got out of the car rubbing his eyes pretending to be awake.

"Go to bed early." Yan Yue rubbed Lu Lingxi's head.

Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

Yan Yue keenly sensed that Lu Lingxi seemed to be in a bad mood, "What, are you tired?"

Lu Lingxi rubbed her stomach and found a reason, "I'm hungry."

Yan Yue laughed, "Do you want to have supper with me?"

"No need, mom must have left me dinner." Lu Lingxi refused.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Eat less and be careful of food accumulation."

Lu Lingxi nodded, and ran back with Dahei.He was just talking casually, but when he turned on the light, he found a note on the dining table in the living room, saying that Wang Shuxiu had left dinner for him and put it in the refrigerator.

Lu Lingxi opened the refrigerator and took out the crisper, and smiled slightly at the pork ribs inside.The little entanglement that had arisen from hearing the news from the Lu family before also dissipated in the aroma of the food.

Three days later, Lu Lingxi delivered the potted plants Li Ge wanted to their unit as agreed.At the same time, an employee from another gardening store also came to deliver the goods.The two met at the door. Unlike Lu Lingxi and Yi Hang who were driving a small broken gold cup, the other Wei Gardening was obviously rich and powerful, and they drove a van directly.

Yi Hang bumped into Lu Lingxi enviously, "Third brother, have you seen our target?"

Lu Lingxi nodded, "I see, I will buy it for you after I work hard to make money."

Yi Hang hooked Lu Lingxi's neck in satisfaction, "The third one is interesting enough."

Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes and smiled.

After receiving a call from Lu Lingxi, Li Weisheng hurried out. "Xiaoxi is here."

"Brother Li." Lu Lingxi greeted him politely.

Li Weisheng was about to say something when a young man jumped off the van next to him and squeezed in front of Lu Lingxi, smiling enthusiastically at Brother Li, "Brother Li."

Li Weisheng nodded, "Xiaoqiu, you are here. You have to pay attention to the potted plants this time. If the leader is not satisfied, you have to return them."

"Brother Li, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem this time."

The young man smiled flatteringly at Brother Li, turned his head and gave Lu Lingxi a hard look when Brother Li was not paying attention.Don't think that he didn't know that it was this kid's micro gardening that stole their business.Even if he dared to fight with them, this kid didn't bother to inquire about it. Qiu Tian Horticulture's status in Fengcheng was really reckless.

He wanted to see how good the potted plants cultivated by this micro-horticulture would be. Brother Li returned all the potted plants they sent back last time.
