The dinner starts at five o'clock.
The entire Lu Mansion was brightly lit, and there were ten large solid wood round tables in the banquet hall.
The guests were seated one by one.
The Lin family was arranged in the far corner, some distance away from the main table.
Lin Fengzhi was unhappy and poked at the rice with chopsticks. Suddenly, he blinked and looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The beautiful woman who had just been chatting and laughing with Lu Muchi in the garden took Lu Changcheng intimately and walked towards the main table.
Qi Xuehong sent Lu Changcheng to sit down. Lu Changcheng was very satisfied and said in an extremely friendly tone, "Xuehong, sit next to me."
Qi Xuehong smiled, "Okay, Grandpa Lu."
On the other side of Lu Changcheng was Lu Lin. It was the first time Qi Xuehong met Lu Lin. The man was majestic, serious in speech and had a sense of distance, which was completely different from Lu Muchi.
She actually prefers Lu Lin's, with his mature and hormonal masculine charm, but since the first socialite, the daughter of the Jiang family, has not caught Lu Lin's eyes, she is not asking for trouble.
The sisters had gossiped in private, maybe the leader of the Lu family liked men.
But so far there have not been any scandals about Lu Lin.
Lu Lin was not located on a high mountain, but above the clouds. He really couldn't imagine what kind of person such a man would fall in love with.
Qi Xuehong greeted Lu Lin politely, "Good evening, Mr. Lu. I am Qi Xuehong."
"What is your name, Mr. Lu?" Lu Changcheng said lovingly, "Just like Mu Chi, I call you uncle."
As soon as this was said, everyone at the head table knew it.
This is definitely my granddaughter-in-law.
Father Qi and Lu Han smiled at each other and clinked glasses.
Qi Xuehong was generous and changed his words, "Hello, uncle."
She currently has a good impression of Lu Muchi, but she can't even say she likes him, but among all the possible marriage partners, Lu Muchi undoubtedly meets her requirements the most.
Lu Lin nodded briefly in response.
Lu Muchi felt very unhappy, but he had nothing to do with his grandfather. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yan Heqing without any restraint.
[Have you got a meal yet? I'm eating. ]
He didn't expect Yan Heqing to reply, he was used to it.
So when the reply popped up, he was in a daze for a few seconds before he suppressed his excitement and clicked on it.
For the first time, I was so excited about a text message that my heart trembled.
Click to open.
Three words.
[I know. ]
Yan Heqing's fingers typing a reply already appeared in Lu Muchi's mind.
With her neatly manicured nails flowing like jade, I typed quietly.
Lu Changcheng seemed to be speaking on the opposite side, but Lu Muchi didn't care and replied eagerly to Yan Heqing, "You know I'm eating?" ]
Before the second sentence "Care about me so much" was sent, Yan Heqing's reply came again.
The moment he heard Lu Changcheng's speech clearly, Lu Muchi's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Changcheng said: "Today we announce a great news. My grandson Mu Chi and Xue Hong will have an engagement ceremony next month."
And Yan Heqing replied to him.
[I'm at your house. ]
In the deserted aisle, Yan Heqing was holding a piece of seafood fried rice, which was the chef's dinner.
Yan Heqing's eyes were obviously uncomfortable, and he was still not used to wearing contact lenses.
He lowered his eyelashes, leaned his back against the wall, and took a spoonful of fried rice.
The ingredients are rich, including many seafood that Yan Heqing has only seen in encyclopedias.
The shrimp meat is the deep sea blue lobster left over from the banquet, and the pineapple is the first time I have seen pink.
All fresh and sweet.
Yan Heqing misses the deep-fried dough sticks, pineapple and shrimp.
Apart from mint and mung bean water, it was the most delicious thing in his memory.
Buzz.
The phone call came.
Yan Heqing turned off the phone directly, put it back in his pocket, and ate quietly.
Perhaps after hearing the familiar shutdown prompt, Lu Muchi held the phone and went to find Yan Heqing.
If you can see him eating, you must have heard that grandpa wants him to get engaged!
He was very unjust. He had no prior knowledge of this shabby engagement!
The relationship with Lin Fengzhi was not explained clearly, and here comes another woman!
With Yan Heqing's character, he would definitely be able to turn a blind eye to him from now on!
Lu Muchi was so sure.
He suddenly felt panic, he couldn't lose Yan Heqing...
The heel hit the chair leg hard, making a lot of noise.
"Mu Chi." Lu Changcheng's eyes darkened when he saw him standing up. "sit down."
Lu Muchi couldn't listen at all. All he could think about now was to find Yan Heqing!
"Grandpa, I'm going out and I'll be back soon!"
Lu Changcheng's face instantly turned ugly, but Lu Muchi did not object and barely achieved his goal.
Lu Changcheng snorted in his heart as his peripheral vision swept across the table in the distance.
People who are not popular should stop trying to enter his Lu family!
He investigated Lin Fengzhi's true background and found that he was not even a member of the Lin family, but just an ordinary orphan.
Lu Changcheng's dislike for Lin Fengzhi increased.
After gathering his emotions, Lu Changcheng didn't pay much attention to Lu Muchi's departure, and continued talking with Qi's father with a smile.
Only Qi Xuehong glanced curiously in the direction Lu Muchi ran away.
What's so urgent?
With a table full of delicacies from the mountains and sea, Lu Lin had no appetite.
He has always been casual about food, as long as it can fill his belly and provide energy.
Only recently has he become picky.
Love the meatballs, hot pot, and simple egg noodles.
And I miss that cozy little house that was raining heavily and smelled a little damp.
I showed up today, that's enough.
Lu Lin stood up and said, "Everyone, please use it slowly."
He stood up, and others at the table followed suit. Lu Han spoke first, "You're leaving without eating a bite?"
These words successfully stepped on Lu Changcheng's back, but Lu Changcheng had nothing to do with Lu Lin. They both knew it well, and Lu Lin would still leave if he asked. On the contrary, it would make him lose face, so he might as well not say anything.
Lu Changcheng put on a fatherly and filial smile, "Go ahead and get busy. Work is urgent, and you should also pay attention to your health."
Everyone laughed and nodded in agreement.
Lu Lin left.
Lu Lin was tall and tall. Lin Fengzhi noticed him as soon as he stood up. Seeing Lu Lin leaving, Lin Fengzhi chased him out without thinking.
Father Lin was immersed in eating. When Lin Fengzhi ran away, he looked up in surprise, "Where is Fengzhi going?"
Lin Fengyi said nothing.
He had a very strange feeling.
Since reuniting with Yan Heqing, Lin Fengzhi has become increasingly uncomfortable...
Yan Heqing?
Lin Fengyi took the water glass and took a big sip.
Have you been possessed?
Why do I think of him again...
——
There was light from the empty wall lamp, and Lin Fengzhi chased him out. After two or three minutes, Lu Lin disappeared.
Lin Fengzhi bit his lower lip in annoyance. If his legs were a few centimeters longer, like Yan Heqing's, wouldn't he be lost?
He felt another kind of depression and had no choice but to run towards the door.
After leaving the banquet hall, Lu Lin changed direction.
After Yan Heqing finished dinner, he walked back to the banquet hall. He had explored the way during the day.
He wasn't sure if Lu Muchi's IQ could guess that the outsiders who could enter Lu's house today would all be in the kitchen.
He showed up proactively just in case.
It's just that he can't count Lu Lin.
Always.
In the brightly lit corridor, the man always walks slowly and slowly, walking towards me.
Yan Heqing paused for about half a second, then walked forward calmly.
He now looks like a helper in the kitchen, and he also wears contact lenses, changing his eye color obviously.
Looking in the mirror, he could barely recognize himself.
The moment the two were about to approach, Yan Heqing, as a helper, turned sideways and bowed his head slightly despite the wide corridor.
Lu Lin walked past without any pause in his movements.
The soles of the shoes stepped on the frosted wooden floor tiles, and the sound of steady footsteps gradually faded away.
Yan Heqing raised his head and walked straight ahead without looking back.
Just after turning around the corridor, there were rapid footsteps ahead, and Yan Heqing stopped.
Lu Muchi ran forward and looked at him panting slightly, "Is there anyone else in the kitchen?"
"Yes." Yan Heqing replied to him.
Lu Muchi raised his feet to run again, and suddenly braked. He looked at Yan Heqing in surprise, and suddenly gritted his back molars, "Do you know it's dangerous for you to come to my house like this!"
If you want to see him again, you shouldn't come here!
He still remembered how his grandfather treated Xu Qiaoyin.
To know him...
Lu Muchi grabbed Yan Heqing's arm and said, "Follow me quickly!"
It's the direction to the second floor.
There was unconcealed disgust in Yan Heqing's eyes, and he broke away from Lu Muchi's hand.
"Congratulations."
He said calmly: "Happy engagement."
Lu Muchi was happy and irritable at the same time.
If Yan Heqing is happy and jealous, and Yan Heqing is annoyed because of his strange yin and yang, it is better to just say that he is angry and ask him to coax him.
It just so happens that he just sticks to this.
If Yan Heqing begged him not to get engaged, he really wouldn't take it seriously.
"Who the hell wants to get engaged?" Lu Muchi sneered, "Look carefully here and listen clearly. What I didn't say doesn't count!"
Lu Muchi turned around and strode back to the banquet hall.
Yan He's eyes were clear and calm.
He had calculated Lu Muchi's character accurately. The failure of the engagement had angered Lu Changcheng and also resulted in the loss of Qi's future right-hand man. Qi Xuehong had not yet fallen in love with Lu Muchi.
Yan Heqing left.
The banquet was still going on, and there was no one at the door. At this moment, a figure ran towards him.
Lin Fengzhi didn't look for Lu Lin, the car was obviously still there! He turned back and saw someone coming out.
It's the Lu family chef!
Lin Fengzhi ran forward.
It was too late for Yan Heqing to turn around.
As they were getting closer, Lin Fengzhi suddenly looked into Yan Heqing's eyes and felt a little...
"Lin Fengzhi."
A calm and deep voice broke in.
Lin Fengzhi's mind turned white instantly.
His heart was beating so fast that it didn't even belong to him.
He looked behind Yan Heqing. In the corridor, against the light, he could only see Lu Lin's blurry figure.
But I really called him by his name!
Uncle Lu remembered his name! He remembers him!
Lin Fengzhi quickly passed by Yan Heqing, ran to the corridor and raised his face, "Uncle Lu, are you looking for me?"
The figure walked away in the distance, and Lu Lin said calmly: "Go back to eat, the banquet is about to end."
He immediately picked up the bag and left.
Lin Fengzhi remained motionless, and for a moment he obeyed and ran towards the banquet hall.
Uncle Lu wants him to eat well!
——
On the subway home, Yan Heqing looked at GG flashing quickly outside the glass.
He was almost recognized by Lin Fengzhi.
Unlike others, Lin Fengzhi has a pair of eyes similar to his.
What about Lu Lin?
Was his appearance an accident?
Yan Heqing closed his eyes, listened to the words played in the earphones, and wrote them silently in his mind.
When I got home and just took off my coat, my phone rang.
The software prompts you with the courier number.
Yan Heqing's last online purchase was for ice fishing equipment.
He answered the phone.
The person on the other side said politely first: "Your package has arrived. Please open the door to sign for it."
Yan Heqing said: "I don't have express delivery."
"It's not express delivery, we deliver it by flash delivery."
The original iron door had no peephole, so Yan Heqing fastened the safety chain before opening the door.
It was dark outside the door. When the door opened, the person outside said "hey" and the sensor light turned on.
He does look like a uniform, holding two cardboard boxes.
Yan He said quietly: "If you make sure it's delivered correctly, leave it at the door."
He was not sure who was coming, so he confirmed the address and phone number again. It was indeed correct. Then he put it down, clicked "Send" and rushed to deliver the next order.
After the corridor became quiet again, Yan Heqing took off the safety chain, opened the door and picked up the two cartons.
Neither is light.
Yan Heqing closed the door and tore off the sealing tape with his bare hands.
The first box...two pineapples?
I vaguely guessed it.
Yan Heqing tore open the second cardboard box.
This time it's neatly coded, books?
Yan Heqing took out a book, which was well protected by a transparent book cover.
It's a comic, called a superhero.
Opening it gently, the title page reads——
Every child will meet his or her own superhero.
