Sorry, it's a different price to be a stand-in

Waking up in the middle of the night, Lin Zhinan turned his head to look at the sleeping Lu Yunqi, and tiptoed up from the hospital bed.

The ward where Lin Ning was staying was guarded by Lu Yunqi's people.

Seeing Lin Zhinan approaching, they looked at each other and stopped Lin Zhinan from going in.

"I...just take a look outside."

Those people didn't stop them anymore, and didn't talk to Lin Zhinan anymore.

Lin Ningan was lying quietly, with several thick bandages on his neck, except for the looming white mist from the ventilator, it was almost impossible to tell that he was still alive.

Lin Zhinan curled his fingers unconsciously, pressed his forehead against the glass window, and closed his eyes tightly.

The night was cold and snowy, and no matter how warm it was in the building of the inpatient department, Lin Zhinan still felt the wind penetrate his body.

He sniffled lightly, withdrew his hand holding the glass window, turned and walked towards the elevator.

During the short stay for a few minutes, Lin Zhinan thought a lot.

From the moment of memory after being abandoned, to the end of scratching Lin Ning with glass, all the ups and downs are extremely clear at this time.

Lin Zhinan felt that he was not generous, even a little hypocritical.

When he was young, he would take the initiative to take on jobs that others were unwilling to do for a bowl of rice, and he would calculate the timing to let the boss see his efforts.

Later, a kind-hearted person donated clothes to them. When choosing clothes, Lin Zhinan and Lin Ning fell in love with a denim jacket at the same time. Lin Zhinan got the chance to wear the clothes he wanted by making the excuse that he would go out to work to earn money.

He wore that denim jacket until he entered junior high school and was reluctant to throw it away.

When Lin Wei proposed to adopt them, Lin Zhinan's first thought was that he would finally not have to worry about Lin Ning for the time being. Years of caring for them had worn down a lot of Lin Zhinan's patience.

Lin Zhinan even thought that Lin Wei was a good springboard, and he would definitely use this opportunity to make a complete turnaround.

But Lin Ning didn't seem to know his true thoughts, which caused Lin Zhinan to be tortured by these cunning little thoughts all the time.

The result now is one to blame.A wry smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhinan's lips.

He also finally understood that he couldn't save anyone by himself, and he might even be caught in it.

Lin Zhinan stood still in front of the elevator and pressed the down button.

The elevator just went up and stopped at Lin Zhinan's floor after a few seconds.

The elevator door opened slowly, and Lin Zhinan came back to his senses following the sound of "Hello, the fifteenth floor is here, please be careful when entering and exiting the elevator".

There was a person standing in front of Lin Zhinan.

The man's hair was messed up, his eyes were sleepy but he still held on to his energy, he was wearing a baggy hospital gown, when he saw Lin Zhinan, he grinned, showing his big white teeth.

Lin Zhinan didn't have time to speak, but the man swept away the tiredness on his face, and brushed the messy hair hanging from his forehead to the back of his head, exposing his forehead, showing that he was more energetic.

"Lin Zhinan, I knew you were here."

Noticing the change in Lu Yunqi's address to himself, Lin Zhinan pursed his lips and gave a slight smile, then walked up to Lu Yunqi's side.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and you weren't here. I thought you...you left me again." This was full of resentment.

Lin Zhinan looked at him seriously, "I won't run away again."

"It doesn't matter if you run away, I will chase, or wait." Lu Yunqi took a small step towards Lin Zhinan, and held his hand.

Looking into Lin Zhinan's eyes, Lu Yunqi had a thousand words to say, but he felt that leaving blank at this moment is the best confession.

Lin Zhinan was embarrassed by his look, blushed, and hurriedly looked away.

But Lu Yunqi refused to give him a chance, leaned over to Lin Zhinan's ear, and whispered softly.

Lin Zhinan didn't have time to scold him for being mean, and said "I love you" in his ear.

Who would choose to confess in a hospital elevator?

Though thinking this way, Lin Zhinan still had goose bumps on his body.

My heart felt like it was rolling over flannel, soft and itchy.

Lin Zhinan put one hand on Lu Yunqi's waist, trying to avoid his further contact.

Lu Yunqi seemed to have been touched by someone's lifeblood, sucked in the air-conditioning on the first floor and squatted down.

"Lu Yunqi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhinan later realized that he seemed to have touched Lu Yunqi's wound, and randomly bent down to ask him about his condition.

Lu Yunqi circled his stomach and remained silent for a while.

Lin Zhinan was frightened, so he also squatted down, and asked anxiously, "Did the wound open? Me, I didn't do it on purpose, can you say something? Lu Yunqi..."

Holding Lu Yunqi's face in his hands, Lin Zhinan could clearly see his crooked eyebrows and pale complexion.

"It doesn't hurt, really." Lu Yunqi's brows were furrowed by pain, and the deep lines were still clearly visible. He still added, "I was joking with you, I saw you scared..."

Lin Zhinan's eyes were red, and he had nothing to do with the bruised man in front of him.

"Fool." After a long time, Lin Zhinan cursed in a low voice.

"Yes yes yes... I'm a fool." Lu Yunqi supported Lin Zhinan's shoulders with both hands and got out of the elevator, pushing him to the front of the ward.

"Let's go back to bed, shall we?"

Lin Zhinan's eyes were still red, he pursed his mouth and shook his head willfully.

Lu Yunqi put his hands around Lin Zhinan's neck, leaned back, leaned against the door of the ward, and looked into his eyes, "Then where do you want to go, baby? It's past midnight, and the prince's party is over."

As he said that, Lu Yunqi pretended to raise his wrist to look at the non-existent watch.

Lin Zhinan turned his head away, and complained angrily, "...I'm not Cinderella..."

Lu Yun nodded, "It's not Cinderella."

"It's my lover."

"..."

Lin Zhinan didn't know where Lu Yunqi came from for so many earthy love stories, he was only worried about the condition of the wound.

"By the way, there is something I want to tell you." Lu Yunqi's expression became serious.

Lin Zhinan was afraid that he was teasing him again, so he absent-mindedly continued, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yunqi thought about his words for a while, and decided to tell Lin Zhinan directly, "I used my uncle's contacts abroad in the previous rescue. Now that the matter has calmed down, I want to visit him with you..."

Not knowing Lin Zhinan's attitude towards Nie Wenchang, Lu Yunqi did not dare to take Lin Zhinan to meet him abroad.

"Speaking of which, he is our only elder," Lu Yunqi paused, "I want to get his blessing."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Zhinan was grateful to Nie Wenchang from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for Nie Wenchang, Lu Yunqi might have died on a rainy night six years ago, and the two of them would never meet again, nor would it be possible to stand here embracing each other.

Lin Zhinan took the initiative to wrap his arms around Lu Yunqi's waist.

With a muffled voice, "I don't like the way he looks at you... as if he wants to snatch you away."

Lu Yunqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "He's my uncle..."

"I know."

"He helped us."

"I know……"

"Actually...he also likes you very much. I've never heard him praise anyone. He is full of praise for your project planning."

Lin Zhinan's heart skipped a beat, this was the first time he had been affirmed by Lu Yunqi's family other than Lu Mingcheng.

But this time Lu Yunqi didn't get an answer.

Lu Yunqi glanced at Lin Zhinan's small expression, and deliberately said: "He just dare not admit it, he might be so happy in his heart..."

Lin Zhinan frowned, feeling awkward no matter how he thought about it—as if he was teasing himself.

"Yeah, did you hear that?"

Lin Zhinan raised his head and smiled at Lu Yun, then quietly squeezed his waist hard.

"Hiss—murder your own husband!"
