Chapter 1405 - Untitled (2/2)
Yun Hu first took a sip of beer before he glanced at him and frowned. “Why didn’t you order takeaway if you were so hungry?”
“I wasn’t very hungry just now.” Lin Feng’s cheeks were bulging when he spoke. He drank a beer before taking a long breath. “I feel alive again.”
Yun Hu laughed. This was probably how it was to like someone. As long as he was by your side, whatever he did, said or ate would feel pleasing to the eye.
“Why are you looking at me?” Lin Feng asked, feeling as though something was wrong.
Yun Hu retracted his gaze and replied breezily, “Nothing much but the professor called you out today.”
“F*ck! No way!” Lin Feng held the bamboo chopsticks. Was he that unlucky?
“Mmh,” Yun Hu replied and added, “I helped you with it.”
Lin Feng manually flashed a heart sign towards him. “Brother, what did you say? Did you give a particularly good excuse which the professor believed? I know that I can count on you.”
“I was honest,” Yun Hu replied slowly, taking a sip of beer. “I said your workload outside is too heavy. Hence, you continue to skip lessons. I asked him to discipline you when he has the time.”
“What?!” With a loud snap, the chopsticks in Lin Feng’s hand fell. “Brother, are you trying to kill me?”
Yun Hu took out another pair of chopsticks and passed it to him. “It is a good thing to inherit the Lin family but there are some people who you are not suited to interact with yet. You don’t have to go over to learn about company management, there is still a lot to learn from the professor. In addition, I will be responsible for your attendance in the future. The professor has some papers you can tidy up.”
Lin Feng had yet to catch his breath.
Everyone liked to attend university because of freedom. But what was the meaning of this? Attendance, thesis? Was he going back to his lifeless high school days? And this was all because of his good brother. Were they still brothers?
Lin Feng leaned his head against the wall. “My results are fine. I don’t have to go overseas anyway.”
“You can tell that to the professor.” Yun Hu looked at his reluctant expression and his fingers tightened. “Do you still think it’s better to run to those construction sites than to be in school?”
Lin Feng hesitated. “That isn’t it.”
Yun Hu arched his brow. “Is it because of the people?”
“Ah?” What people?
Before Lin Feng could reply, the phone Yun Hu had placed on the table rang. Lin Feng was no stranger to the name flashing on the screen. This number had appeared before Yun Hu had gone overseas. Now, it appeared again.
That boy.
Lin Feng watched Yun Hu pick up the phone. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong.
“What is it?”
Lin Feng didn’t hear the voice from the other side. As he couldn’t stand such situations, he stood up and walked away under the pretext of taking another can of beer. His head was heavy and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Even though he wanted to take a can of beer, he ended up with a pack of spicy strips. What was up with him?
Lin Feng looked at the things in his hand, once he decided that it had been enough time. He walked back. Sure enough, when he sat back on the chair and picked up the chopsticks, Yun Hu had hung up.
“Eat first, I’ll be out for a while.”
“Mmh,” Lin Feng replied. He lowered his head and stuffed another mouthful of rice before adding, “Take the keys with you, I might be going out in a while.”
Yun Hu glanced at him. “Where are you going?”
Internally, Lin Feng thought, “Why do you care when you are going on a date?”
“My report, I should have handed it in a while ago.”
As soon as Yun Hu heard that it was about the Lin Group, he knew very well who was in charge of Lin Feng. “Didn’t you say you were staying on campus?”
Lin Feng placed his can of beer down. “I think it’s nice outside. I’ll tell the professor when it’s time.”
Yun Hu’s hand tightened around his phone. “You think it’s nice outside. Heh, I was being nosy.”
Lin Feng was frustrated by the sound of the phone. “No, everyone thinks differently, right? You are smart and suitable to be in school – but I am different. You should know, I have always been slow in this aspect. I can only grow faster if I have direct experience. Moreover, the company can’t wait for me that long.”
“You don’t think I can bring you along?” Yun Hu tilted his head and laughed.
Lin Feng didn’t want to make the atmosphere too stiff. Firstly, it was just after the competition, and secondly, it hadn’t been long since Yun Hu had come back. He took another glance at the phone screen that lit up, “Okay, okay, don’t you have to go out? I can handle my problem, besides, I’m not a kid anymore.”
Basically, such an excuse was to reject him entirely. Yun Hu dropped his hand to one side and looked at the person standing in front of him.
Sometimes, he really wanted to ask him whether he couldn’t accept men or just not him. But he couldn’t ask such things because the moment he asked the question, it was akin to pushing him into a corner.
Since he had already told himself this before, this time, he wouldn’t act like before. He was determined to turn him gay. Hence, regardless of what happened, he wouldn’t just back off that easily.
“We can talk about it when I’m back.” Before Yun Hu left, he reached out and caressed Lin Feng’s head.
Lin Feng was a little shocked.
When the room door was closed, he completely lost his appetite. What did that mean? Didn’t Yun Hu know how to maintain a distance? Or perhaps, was it because he now treated him as a brother again? Was that the reason he didn’t pay attention to his actions?
Lin Feng tossed himself onto the bed and glanced out at the darkening sky. He didn’t turn on the lights, the string of numbers coming to mind once again.
It seemed like it was best to move out. If he didn’t move out, things would start to seem wrong.
Perhaps it wasn’t Yun Hu that was wrong. Maybe he was the issue. What exactly was this frustrating feeling?
Lin Feng lifted his hand and placed it over his forehead. He told himself that the situation had already reached this point. Regret was useless now.
Besides, the competition was over. It was the second half of his third year. Thus, there wasn’t anything wrong with moving out of campus. He would receive approval if he explained it to the professor seriously. There wouldn’t be a problem.
He was still lusting for the gentleness that used to belong to him – but not long ago, he had no longer qualified to have that tenderness.
They were both good. All he could say was that they probably had no fate in this lifetime. They were destined to be brothers. Either the opportunity or the time was wrong.
The most regrettable thing in this world was probably when you finally decided to turn gay but the person that made you gay already belonged to someone else. Heh…
