Lin Yan absent-mindedly shook the red wine in his glass.

Lin Xiyue's birthday party finally arrived. This time, the young master chased away all the elders who spoiled the atmosphere, and invited a lot of classmates... most of them were members of the student union.One of the reasons was that Lin Yan was on the verge of graduating. After that, the position of student council president was vacant, and he wanted to pave the way for Lin Xiyue in advance.

As for the rest of the reasons... that is, he was in school, and he really didn't have the right and wrong way as the young master thought.

"Greetings!"

"Happy birthday, Young Master Lin!"

Behind the stereotyped blessings, Lin Yan raised his glass with a smile on his face: "...Thank you for coming to support me, Xiyue will ask you to take care of me in the future..." After finishing speaking, she raised her head slightly and drank the wine in the glass .

The alcohol content of the red wine was not high, and the sourness seemed to be more severe than usual. Lin Yan's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly let go, his face brightened the bottom of the glass without changing his face, and he said some embarrassing words while the iron was hot.

When the crowd dispersed, he turned his back and leaned against the corner of the wall, tugged on his suffocating tie, and let out a long breath.

It's fine when he's busy, but when he's free, he can't help but think of a few days ago... Chi Zong told him excitedly that he was going to confess to Lin Xiyue after the birthday party.

Lin Yan couldn't tell what he felt at that moment, but he was not as sad as he imagined—after all, he was ready as early as the moment he became clear about his heart...even though it came earlier than he expected.

But even though Lin Yan's chest seemed to have knocked over a seasoning bottle, full of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors, he couldn't say anything, only the faint smell of rust spread out in his mouth, it turned out that he had bitten the tip of his tongue unknowingly .

He chewed his trembling heart to pieces, swallowed the bloody saliva, and put on a perfect smile again, only his trembling fingers showed a slight flaw—Lin Yan put his hands in his pockets and said something :"Congratulations."

Even though he was covering it up like this, his voice was still a bit depressing and hoarse, but the sweetheart who was immersed in excitement and apprehension didn't pay attention.

Chi Zong was playing with the gift box with the finger rings. The shyness and anxiety made this young man who had just started his love life never idle for a moment. He stood up and sat down for a while, and walked around the room twice from time to time, asking questions endlessly. Questions, such as "Is there any topic that Xiyue avoids" or "What else does he like besides jade"...etc.

After hearing this, Lin Yan felt a little ridiculous——Chi Zong's understanding of Lin Xiyue was only superficial, and most of the so-called understanding came from other people's mouths... Perhaps in the eyes of young people, that person is good in everything , he is noble, pure, kind, and has all the beautiful qualities, just like the bright moon in the sky, and it is because he is not within reach that he is even more admirable.

But what else?What he really admires is this gorgeous and beautiful reverie, or Lin Xiyue herself?

Lin Yan is not qualified to judge, because just as he fell in love with Chi Zong wishfully knowing that there would be no results, Chi Zong could naturally fall in love with Lin Xiyue without hesitation because of the beauty shown by Lin Xiyue.

In contrast, sober people are always sadder.

In order not to give himself time to be sad, he doubled his work, locked himself in the office all day, and even refused the late invitation... At that time, Lin Yan thought, just give me a little more time, Give me a little more time to prepare, digest, and accept... to give up completely and completely.

Yes, even if it is a secret love that is destined to fetch water from a bamboo basket at the beginning, it does forget reason at one or many heart-stirring moments, and produces some naive and ridiculous fantasies when I think about it later; A person who is sober and struggling clearly understands his situation better than anyone else, but he is unable to extricate himself from falling deeper and deeper.

...unknowingly finished another glass of wine.

What flickered before his eyes were those cut-scenes that were too uniform to make him numb... Smiles, etiquette, repeated polite words, drinking cups of colorful alcohol, but the brain became more sober-this is inevitable, Lin Yan never let his emotions affect his business, this has been engraved in his bones, and Bu Lun will never change.

But he also thought about getting drunk without thinking about anything, but life never gave him this chance. The Lin family's dogma bound his hands and feet like chains and strangled his throat... All Lin Yan can do right now is straighten up Let's carry on everything perfectly until the day when he is released after serving his sentence.

Lin Xiyue gathered the focus of the audience when she came out.

He was wearing a vintage white dress with luxurious gold trim embroidered on the hem, delicate and elegant lace cuffs, and a sea blue gem embedded in the bow tie. He walked slowly down the long revolving steps, as if he was going to an appointment prince.

Most of Lin Xiyue's formal clothes are in this style. This is the "personal design" carefully created by the Lin family for him... Lin opened his eyes as if he was bored, but the crowd other than him let out a burst of exclamation.

Facts have proved that this is what the general public eats.

Lin Xiyue took over the host's microphone and spoke the opening remarks, and Lin Yan seemed absent-minded throughout the whole process.To him, it's actually no different than any networking dinner he's ever been to...

"I invite my elder brother...the student council president whom everyone admires." Lin Xiyue walked up to the stage, her eyes fell on Lin Yan who was in the audience: "Perhaps you don't know yet, my brother and I have a birthday separation. It's very close, but the chairman is usually busy with work and doesn't have much time. So today, it's actually a birthday party for two people..."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to the other party.

Lin Xiyue's hands are very beautiful, with slender fingers and fair skin, wrapped in lace, very luxurious.

Lin Yan smiled, and accepted the other party's invitation without any burden... He was led onto the stage by Lin Xiyue's hand, subconsciously looking for Chi Zong's gaze.This is not a difficult task, Young Master Chi is standing very close to the front, staring blankly at Lin Xiyue at the moment, only remembered something after a few seconds, and was about to raise his hand to say hello to him.

Lin Yan looked away, took the microphone, and talked about the script that he had written a long time ago, the main point is undoubtedly those, please take care of Xiyue in the future... and so on.

Then he stepped off the stage. The moment he disappeared from the crowd, Lin Yan clearly felt an indescribable exhaustion, and his steps faltered for a while, before returning to normal quickly.

After the opening remarks, the banquet officially began. In the next two hours, he was once again surrounded by the communication of mechanical operations, smiling, shaking hands, clinking glasses, hugging... When he finally remembered something, he raised his head and walked away from twelve o'clock. The bell chimed for only one hour.

Like a Cinderella whose magic is about to arrive, Lin Yan gracefully and gracefully declined groups of people who came forward to strike up a conversation, turned around and left the lively and splendid hall, and came upstairs to the empty rooftop.

The evening wind howled and brushed his cheeks, Lin Yan turned his back to the wind, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one while covering the fire.

The smoke was quickly blown away by the wind, Lin Yan looked at the bustling street downstairs and thought to himself, there is still an hour.

The Chi family is a very good marriage partner, and Lin Xiyue will probably split into an Omega... This is a perfect match made in heaven, although the latter will probably not directly agree, but Chi Zong... But they have plenty of time, and they have a great relationship s future.

As the bitter cigarette passed through his lungs, Lin Yan's fingers trembled, and a piece of ash fell off.

It's not that he didn't envy Lin Xiyue. When he was very young, when he was still innocent, he also really envied that beautiful younger brother who had everything, countless new clothes and all kinds of clothes. toys, and enough free spare time... A child's world is too small to be filled with just a few things.Later, when he grew up and matured, he understood that everyone's fate is different, and he didn't need to spend time on such useless emotions, so he was no longer envious.

Right, status, and born noble status, Lin Yan has long looked down on these things, and it doesn't matter anymore. The only thing he cares about is Chi Zong, and the only thing he envies is the way that person looks at Lin Xiyue.

How wonderful, Lin Yan thought: Someone really loves you.

Even if he doesn't understand you well...but he is willing to give a sincere heart for you.

Time passed by every second.

Cigarettes were extinguished one by one, until the last butt was burned out, Lin Yan did not extinguish the remaining spark, but watched it struggling to be extinguished in the night wind little by little.

Like his helpless and numb heart full of sourness.

After tonight, they should be just friends... Lin Yan didn't want to give himself too much hope, because he knew that there would only be greater disappointment after that. In order to minimize the loss, he decided to give up this relationship. Turn into a pure friendship without any selfish desires.

Others may not be able to do it so neatly, but Lin Yan can.

When he declared his love to himself, he had already sharpened the knife to cut him off in advance, even if this knife went down, it would hurt his muscles and bones, dripping with blood...

Throwing the empty cigarette pack into the trash can, and smoking the whole pack in one breath, Lin Yan felt a burst of fire in his throat. He coughed a few times, and was about to go downstairs to find some water, when the roof door was suddenly blocked. people push away...

Chi Zong dragged Lin Xiyue in.

There was a moment of blankness in his brain, and when he came back to his senses, his body had turned into a corner involuntarily.Lin Yan leaned against the cold wall and wiped his face vigorously.

Damn bad luck.

He was already broken in love... and now he is forced to listen to the corner of the confession scene. Does this mean that he didn't give up fast enough?

Lin Yan was so depressed that he even laughed angrily... He leaned against the wall and sat down slowly. Anyway, the exit was blocked at the moment, so what else could he do besides wait?

It's not like you can't plug your ears.

It's just that it's too boring to deceive yourself... He's not at this level yet.After adjusting his mentality, Lin Yan relaxed his body, thinking that he was already in such a mess anyway, what was the worst step he could take?

Suddenly feeling a little bit of bitterness, he quietly stretched out his head, looking at the two people whose shadows stretched under the moonlight, the wind carried the voice of the conversation...

Chi Zong was very nervous, his palms were full of sweat, his heart was full of only Lin Xiyue smiling, his pounding heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he forgot all the confession words he had prepared before. He hesitated for a long time, and only said one sentence: "You, you look so good today..."

"Thank you." Lin Xiyue accepted the compliment unhurriedly, her beautiful eyes looked at the person in front of her with gentleness and doubts, and she laughed: "You called me... just to say this?"

Even the voice is so pleasant... Chi Zong was a little flustered, but fortunately the light covered his flushed face, his wandering eyes didn't dare to meet the man's, and he lowered his head unconsciously... Suddenly he saw the envelope in Lin Xiyue's hand.

As if he finally found a topic to break the embarrassment, he quickly asked: "This, what is this...? Is it the previous speech?"

Lin Xiyue tilted her head, as if she just remembered: "Ah, is this?" He raised his hand, inadvertently revealing the heart on the back of the envelope: "It seems to be a love letter or something... I haven't opened it yet."

Like a lightning strike, Chi Zong was petrified in the wind for a while, and said tremblingly, "Then, do you want to dismantle...?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiyue didn't seem to understand why he was suddenly nervous, and smiled: "No... I receive too many things like this every day, and it's very tiring to take them apart one by one."

"Oh, oh..." Chi Zong didn't have time to let go of his hanging heart, but he heard the other party say again: "Besides, I haven't reached the differentiation stage, and I don't know what gender is... But these people who confessed to me, It seems that they directly regard me as an Omega."

Lin Xiyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed: "I don't like this... the feeling of being treated as a prize. Although he may not have malicious intentions, I still feel offended. So before I really differentiated, I won't accept anyone's confession." When he said this, he breathed out lightly: "I have never said these words to others, and now I finally said them, and I feel much better... Thank you."

Chi Zong: "..."

It seemed that after half a century, Young Master Chi's out-of-body soul finally recovered his body. He was too stiff to nod his head, "It's okay...it's okay..."

"Ah, speaking of it," Lin Xiyue stroked her temples: "Is there something you want to do with me? Because it's almost twelve o'clock, I want to go to my brother..."

Chi Zong... Chi Zong was like a wilting potted plant that hadn't been watered for a month, dejectedly took out the gift that was originally used for confession from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Xiyue, with a smile that could no longer be forced.

"Just... happy birthday."

"Thank you."

Lin Xiyue accepted the gift, and after a few polite words, she left.Leaving Chi Zong standing alone, all the previous ambiguity, entanglement, excitement, etc. were all chilled by this basin of cold water. Alpha, who failed early before the confession could be said, squatted down, hugged his knees, and Face buried in shadow.

Behind the wall less than five meters behind him, Lin Yan's mood was equally complicated. He subconsciously touched his pocket, but found nothing...

Tsk, I knew that when I smoked just now, I left one.
