bite

The back of his neck was slightly chilled by his gaze, Lin Xun bit the bullet and asked cautiously under his gaze: "Cousin, are you not eating?"

On the opposite side, Lin Yuanye rolled up his sleeves slowly, and answered in an unhurried tone, "Eat, why don't you eat. Besides," he picked up the chopsticks again, and looked at Lin Changshi nonchalantly, "I I suddenly changed my mind. I'll go to the Cheng family's blind date banquet you mentioned. "

Although he was surprised by his sudden change, Lin Changshi felt more relieved.

Lin Xun couldn't help but interjected and asked, "Should I not have to go?"

"You still have to go." Lin Yuanye replied directly instead of Lin Changshi, "I'll take you there."

Lin Changshi had no objection to his decision.

After the three of them finished their meal, they set off to return to the Lin family.Lin Yuanye was still not used to the room he hadn't lived in for more than half a year after entering it.He first went to the bathroom to take a slow bath.

While reclining in the bathtub with his eyes closed, Cheng Liao finally called back.

He answered the phone calmly, and heard the man's deep and familiar voice clearly coming to his ears: "The matter was finished in the afternoon, and I bought a flight ticket for the evening to go back to town."

Hearing this, Lin Yuanye spent about two seconds thinking whether Cheng Liao didn't know about the Cheng family's blind date.But this didn't affect his plan, without mentioning Cheng Liao's real identity, he replied in the usual tone, "Don't go back for now."

The other party didn't speak, waiting for what he didn't finish.

"I also went home this afternoon. My dad asked me to go back because of urgent business." Lin Yuanye said.

"When will your business end?" Cheng Liao asked.

"It's hard to say." He gave an ambiguous answer, "I'm probably very busy these days, and I'll contact you when I'm done."

The man was silent for a second on the other end of the phone, as if he was judging whether what he said was angry.Without directly asking him if he was angry, Cheng Liao blurted out in a slow tone: "Can I contact you after you finish your work?"

Lin Yuanye's expression paused, and he was almost shaken by the other party's words.But he quickly realized it, and kept telling himself in his heart that this was just a way for the other party to try to soften his heart.

The accounts in hand are one by one, and the family member's illness delays the return time can not be pursued, but Cheng Liao still has to settle the account of cheating himself.Lin Yuanye nodded unmoved and replied, "Yes—"

Cheng Liao interrupted him in a low voice, "I miss you very much."

The words that Lin Yuanye didn't have time to finish were blocked back in his throat.The thoughts in his mind suddenly froze for a moment, and his heart rate even accelerated two minutes uncontrollably. The mental construction that took several days to complete was defeated in one fell swoop, and he fell into a long silence with a face full of words.

"Can you video now?" Seems to know how to break through his inner defense, the other party patiently added in a low voice, "Let me see you."

The Adam's apple rolled slightly uncontrollably, swallowing the response that had slipped to his mouth, Lin Yuanye gradually recovered from his stupefaction, and rejected him firmly: "No, I will In the shower."

"Why not?" Cheng Liao asked back in a calm and steady voice, even with a slight smile in his tone, "It's not like I haven't seen it."

The other party's inaudible smile fell into his ears, and at almost the same moment, Lin Yuanye felt his heart itch slightly.The concentration was lost too quickly in a short period of time, he couldn't help but raised his hand to cover his feverish ears, and let out a long and slow breath.

After all, he used to be a person who was able to do well in interpersonal communication. Lin Yuanye finally regained his concentration and replied without any change in tone: "Next time."

"Okay." The man agreed.

After the phone call ended that night, the two did not contact each other for three days.However, during these three days, apart from resting at home, Lin Yuanye did not miss other important things.

For example, on the second day after arriving home, he pretended nothing happened, and played a video chat with Yang Jinnian in a good mood.Knowing that he was suddenly called home by Lin Changshi, Yang Jinnian was also surprised and asked: "What is so urgent?"

"Actually, it's fine." Lin Yuanye waved his hands with a smile on his face, his tone tinged with embarrassment, "It's just that my dad saw that I'm not too young, so he told me to come back and find a boyfriend."

"Blind date?" Yang Jinnian unconsciously raised his voice too high.

Then he realized that he was overreacting, and subconsciously glanced at places other than the video. He quickly adjusted the emotion on his face, and offered to make amends for himself, "Is uncle a little too anxious? The blind date introduced to you by my family "Yang Jinnian coughed unnaturally, "You probably won't go—"

Judging from his understanding of Lin Yuanye, his cousin is not a character who will obey the arrangement of his family.Therefore, he was more at ease with Lin Yuanye when it came to the blind date.

Just reassuring, he still couldn't help talking, and asked Cheng Liao, wanting to get it from Lin Yuanye, but the other party obviously refused.

Unexpectedly, before the complete sentence was finished, Lin Yuanye looked at him with a confused expression, "Why don't you go?" The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "My father arranged a blind date for me, of course I am going."

Yang Jinnian was choked by his words, and a bad premonition faintly floated in his heart, "How many blind dates did uncle arrange for you?"

Lin Yuanye thought for a while with hesitation, and finally counted seriously with his fingers, "Not many." After counting, his voice gradually became brisk, "It's only three or four."

From the corner of the eye again, he quietly glanced out of the camera, and Yang Jinnian showed an indescribable expression.

Seemingly ignorant of this the whole time, Lin Yuanye raised his eyes and glanced at the wall behind him, "Do you work in the company?"

Yang Jinnian nodded with complicated emotions.

"That won't disturb you to continue working," Lin Yuanye looked back at him with a normal expression, "I'll hang up first."

He hung up the video so quickly that Yang Jinnian didn't even have time to react.The phone screen jumped back to the original interface, and he glanced guiltily at the man who sat up from the sofa next to him, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard you." Cheng Liao frowned in a bad mood with his voice still hoarse after waking up, "He's going on a blind date."

Yang Jinnian wisely chose to keep silent when his eyes touched the slightly gloomy face of the man.

Lin Yuanye, who declared to Yang Jinnian that he had many blind dates, spent the first three days lazily at home, on the fourth Friday night, he took his little cousin to the Cheng family's dinner party.

Although the temperature was cool in autumn, it was not yet time to wear a suit. Lin Yuanye put on a shirt and trousers and went out.Lin Changshi wanted to arrange a driver to take him and Lin Xun, but Lin Yuanye directly refused.

He took Lin Xun there in his family's car, and the two handed over the invitation letter by the door to enter. After entering, they would inevitably run into Cheng Fei who had always been against him.

The invitation letter clearly stated that it was a reception for making friends, but the guests who came to the banquet were accompanied by young and good-looking same-sex juniors from their families, and the intention was self-evident.

The dinner party hadn't started yet, and the person hosting the party from the Cheng family hadn't been there either.The lighting and decoration in the banquet hall are magnificent, and the guests who are dressed in bright clothes are talking, laughing, drinking and drinking.

Not in a hurry to find Cheng Liao in the crowd, Lin Yuanye led Lin Xun leisurely through the venue, and soon saw Jiang Chi's back at the wine table.Apparently it was unexpected that Jiang Chi would appear here, Lin Yuanye couldn't help but pause, and then he noticed that the person standing opposite Jiang Chi was Cheng Fei.

The image of Cheng Fei being beaten into the hospital more than half a year ago still remained in his mind.Right now, the other party has already fully recovered and been discharged from the hospital. Wearing a small white suit that tucks in his waist, he stood in front of Jiang Chi and quarreled with him domineeringly.

Lin Yuanye quickened his pace immediately, and took Lin Xun to support Jiang Chi who was clearly at a disadvantage.Cheng Fei's dislike for Jiang Chi was only due to his anger.Suddenly seeing his face that he hadn't seen for a long time, the flames of war turned from Jiang Chi to him without any surprise.

"Isn't this the young master Lin who we were driven to the countryside?" Still thinking about the beating he had received half a year ago, Cheng Fei looked at him with a delicate face but indifferently, "This is because I knew that my cousin was going to be blind dated overnight Came back from the country by plane?"

Without the slightest desire to talk to him, Lin Yuanye turned his head and whispered to Jiang Chi, "Are you also here for a blind date?"

"What kind of a blind date?" Jiang Chi shook his head in a hurry to deny, "I just wanted to come and see if I could talk to Cheng Fei's brother. In the end, not only did he not even see his brother's figure, but he caught the right moment A few words of cynicism."

Lin Yuanye sighed thoughtfully.

After being reminded by the other party, he remembered that there was still such a troublesome thing.Cheng Fei, who had a bad relationship with him, turned out to be Cheng Liao's cousin, so Cheng Liao had probably heard about the incident of beating Cheng Liao's cousin half a year ago after he returned home.

He raised his eyebrows slightly annoyed, and didn't know how to deal with the long-standing problem between himself and Cheng Fei for a while.

But it was obvious that Cheng Fei had no intention of reconciling with him at all.Seeing that he ignored her, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to grab his shoulder angrily, "Lin Yuanye, do you understand the most basic manners when talking to people?"

Only then did Lin Yuanye withdraw his attention, and raised his arm to block the hand he suddenly extended.Unexpectedly, Cheng Fei's hand turned a corner in mid-air, and then clasped his wrist without warning.

"Where did you get this red rope?" Cheng Fei asked unclearly, his eyes fixed on his wrist.

"It was given by someone else." Looking down at the lover's knot bracelet on his hand, Lin Yuanye answered the words unhurriedly.

"Given by someone else?" Cheng Fei looked at him and snorted coldly, "I think it was stolen from somewhere else."

He held onto Lin Yuanye's hand firmly, and took out his cell phone from his pocket to make a call, but suddenly he heard a familiar deep voice ringing behind him: "Cheng Fei."

Hearing the sound, Cheng Fei turned around happily, and dragged Lin Yuanye's wrist towards the man, "Cousin, I have already found the red rope you lost, it was secretly picked up by Lin Yuanye—"

Before he could finish his sentence, when his gaze caught sight of the identical red string on Cheng Liao's wrist, he suddenly froze.
