Chapter 10 – President Lin Works Hard to Weave a Net

He Qing was soon judged by the doctor that he could be discharged. He stayed in the hospital for one day and night. During this day and night, Lin Cheng accompanied him to comfort him. He heard someone call and request that Lin Cheng could return to the company but was directly rejected by the man. He set up a desk in the hospital, awfully busy as he continued to take care of He Qing.

Although the teenager said countless times that he did not need to sacrifice his time to take care of him, Lin Cheng still insisted until he was discharged. That day and night of meticulous care felt too precious to He Qing, who had never felt family affection since childhood.

And during that day and night, Lin Chi did not show up.

He Qing didn’t say anything, but Lin Cheng could clearly see the sadness in his eyes. He paused and suddenly said, “By the way, it’s about time to take the college entrance examination?”

The boy was stunned, only to realize that he had been so immersed in his love for Ah Chi these days, he completely forgot about the college entrance examination.

Since he was a child, he hoped that he could be admitted to a major university, study hard, find a good job, and live a stable life without worrying about food and clothing. But what has he been doing these days?

As if he didn’t see He Qing’s stupefaction, Lin Cheng’s hand naturally supported him, and the magnetic voice was full of stability, “You have hurt your eyes during this period and you haven’t studied. Will it affect the college entrance examination?”

He Qing’s body stiffened, and he moved to avoid his hand. Although Lin Cheng’s parental attitude made him feel a little comforted during this period, he still couldn’t get close to this man. What’s more, now he and Ah Chi are no longer together…

“Uncle Lin, I’ve really trouble you during this period of time… Classmate Lin, I will make an IOU for the medical expenses owed to him, and I will definitely pay it back…”

Before he could finish his words, Lin Cheng violently pulled the arm towards him, and hugged the person firmly in his arms. He Qing was like a small animal being stalked by a predator. His whole body grew cold, and a few drops of cold sweat almost immediately broke out from his forehead.

He slammed his elbow back hard, and he clearly landed a strong hit on the person behind him, but those powerful hands still hugged him tightly. He Qing only felt his body trembling, “Uncle Lin! Please! Let me go!”

The hands did not let go, but tightened instead. He felt Lin Cheng lower his head, his lips pressed against his ears, and his low magnetic voice slid over his ear: “Ah Qing, if there is something that cannot be solved, you can come to me.”

He Qing didn’t hear him, struggling hard but couldn’t escape the arms of the man. He didn’t know if he was ashamed or angry, and his face red. In the end, Lin Cheng took the initiative to release his hands.

After staggering on the crutches for a few steps, He Qing moved away from Lin Cheng like a scourge, moving a distance he thought was safe before stopping. His eyes were bright but with anger and vigilance, looking at Lin Cheng as if he would run away as long as he moved.

Facing the boy’s sight, the man curled his lips slightly, still as gentle as before, but no longer had the tone of the elders talking to juniors, but slightly intrusive, “Ah Qing, don’t worry, as long as you don’t want to, I will never force you.”

He Qing’s eyes flashed with anger: “That morning, you did it on purpose!”

Deliberately staying silent, deliberately using lavender, also deliberately letting Ah Chi break in!

Lin Cheng smiled slightly, not admitting, but also not denying: “Ah Qing, come here.”

He opened his arms like a gentle father, showing a warm embrace towards the boy. He Qing stared at that embrace, but stepped back in fear. He would never believe the man in front of him again!

“I will pay back the medical expenses.” After this sentence, the boy hurriedly left on crutches, leaving Lin Cheng with his arms open. A few seconds later, his eyes slowly became obscure and he lowered his arms.

Seeing He Qing left, the people who had been hiding in the corridor trotted forward and respectfully handed the camera in hand to Lin Cheng: “Lin President, what do you think?”

Taking the camera, the picture displayed was precisely the scene where he hugged He Qing just now, but the difference is that in the photo, this angle seemed like He Qing threw himself into the embrace.

“Develop it.”

“Yes! President Lin!”

——

He Qing went to school. Because he really didn’t have the money to take a taxi, he walked all the way from the hospital to the school. The distance was not far, but his injured leg made him move slowly. He walked for an hour to get to the school.

The door guard glanced at his leg and let him go in. When He Qing finally walked to the door of the classroom, the balding teacher was talking passionately at the podium. He knocked on the door lightly, and the head teacher looked over. First, he stared blankly, and then looked back at the students playing around or sleeping, and said: “Students, first do the papers that was just handed out.”

The boy on the crutches watched the head teacher walk out of the classroom with a sullen face, “He Qing, I know you were injured at school, but after you wake up, you have to call me at least. There was no news for so long, do you know how worried I was?”

He Qing was scolded and thought, Ah Chi, didn’t Ah Chi tell the teacher?

He looked at the first row of the classroom in confusion, but saw that Lin Chi didn’t even look at him, he was talking with Sun Yumeng. He Qing’s heart suddenly ached, and he quickly returned to his senses and honestly admitted his mistake: “Sorry teacher , I didn’t think properly, I knew I was wrong.”

“It’s fine if you know what’s wrong. It’s okay. You didn’t write your leave slip either, I’ll go to the office and get it for you, so you go back to your seat first!” After all, the head teacher is also partial to the only student who takes class seriously. Seeing that pitiful face, he waved his hand and stopped pursuing it.

Thanks to the teacher, He Qing limped into the classroom carefully with his crutches. He didn’t know if he was imagining it, but the moment he walked into the classroom, the students who were still playing each other seemed quiet down for a moment. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and quickly speeded up and walked to his seat.

When he reached the first row, one foot suddenly stretched out while He Qing was unguarded and tripped him. The boy, who was already limping with an injured foot, fell to the ground with a shriek.

“Hahahahaha!!!” Zhang Xu took the lead and laughed, and the class immediately burst into laughter. Amidst the mocking laughter, the young man with one leg in plaster sat up embarrassedly and looked around at a loss.

“Get up! You’re in my way!” Zhang Xu unceremoniously kicked He Qing’s leg in plaster. Seeing him shiver in fear and pitifully using his hands to shift his leg away, that cautious and miserable appearance made Zhang Xu falter a bit. If Lin Chi saw that little fool like this, he wouldn’t be softhearted, right?

He looked at Lin Chi, but saw that the person sitting across from him was indifferent, looking condescendingly at the embarrassed He Qing, without any sympathy.

Zhang Xu was relieved now. Holding the mentality of venting his anger for his friend, he deliberately kicked He Qing a few more times. The young man could only endure it and carefully reached for the crutches. He found one of the crutches and wanted to pick it up, but couldn’t. He looked over only to find that the other end of the crutch was stepped on by a shoe.

He Qing lifted his head along those legs and met Lin Chi’s indifferent gaze. There was no smile in those eyes, and naturally there was no tenderness. He looked down at the young man sitting on the ground in a condescending manner without speaking.

He Qing froze. He didn’t know how to face his former lover. Could he tell him that the scene he saw that day was planned by his father deliberately?

Lin Chi looked at pale and stupefied He Qing, and sneered. He (HQ) was probably thinking of how to coax him!

Why make this pitiful and disgusting face when you’ve already climbed up the biggest patron that was his father?

Finally, He Qing spoke up, his voice seemed to be choked, very pitiful: “Can you, can you lift your feet?”

“Okay.” Lin Chi did not hide the malice on his face: “Go and lift my feet, I don’t mind.”

What he meant was to let He Qing go and lift it by hand.

The young man sitting on the ground awkwardly froze and stared at him stiffly. His eyes were full of sadness and grievance. When Lin Chi looked at him, he sneered with a cold heart. Aggrieved? What was he feeling aggrieved about?

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally, He Qing lowered his head sullenly, as if he had lost his strength. He slowly stretched out his hand, and when he was about to touch Lin Chi’s shoes, Sun Yumeng’s voice rang out.

“Ah Chi, don’t play tricks like this! Quickly return the crutches to He Qing!” With an aversion on her face, her attitude towards Lin Chi is different from that of a few days ago. At this moment, she is slightly leaning on Lin Chi, looking at He Qing with sympathy.

He Qing paused, clearly there were no tears in his eyes, but it looked as if were crying as he looked at the two people who were close together, and then he heard Lin Chi say in a gentle, doting voice he had never heard before, “Okay, listen to Yumeng.”

Those feet left the crutches, He Qing stared blankly. He hated that he couldn’t remove the shoes from the crutches himself. In his ears was Sun Yumeng’s coquettish voice after getting what she wanted, and Lin Chi’s sweet words as he coaxed her and she laughed.

He Qing sat stiffly on the ground. The happiness from the past few days didn’t belong to him in the end.

Seeing the pale-faced teenager limping back to his seat and still looking lost, Lin Chi sneered and turned his face away. Sun Yumeng had already held a phone by to his side: “Look, Ah Chi, this is so funny …”

Lin Chi’s face was gentle, but his eyes were full of impatient coldness. What else does this idiot woman do every day besides playing with her phone and saying stupid things! Is sitting quietly not good?

It’s better to be like He Qing, who smiles lightly when he asks something, with eyes that seem to be full of starlight, filled with shyness just by looking at him.

Lin Chi suddenly realized what he was thinking, and was shocked. No, no, how could he still think about He Qing who had betrayed him!

It must be because Sun Yumeng is too annoying! That’s right! It must be so!

【Ding! Lin Chi’s favorability value: 88. 】The system watched how Lin Chi treated He Qing the whole time, and couldn’t understand why the favorability did not drop but rose instead.

【Little system~ Don’t you know, the source of hatred is love~】 He Qing calculated the time, 【It’s time for a sadomasochistic love affair with my Chi Chi, I just don’t know if our Mr. Lin cares enough! 】

He wandered out of the classroom with a “I am miserable and confused” expression. After class ended, he watched sadly as Lin Chi took Sun Yumeng along to leave the classroom. Zhang Xu came up as soon as they left.

“Is Ah Chi really looking for me?” The boy’s excited eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhang Xu who was standing at his desk with delight.

Zhang Xu laughed: “Of course it is true. Ah Chi and I are iron brothers. He said, go to the rooftop after school and he will have a good talk with you! How about it, do you agree? If you agree, I’ll go tell him.” [tl: iron brothers means very close male friends]

He nodded repeatedly: “Agree! I agree!”

Ah Chi is still willing to talk to him now, is it because he still likes him? He really didn’t want to lose Ah Chi!

He Qing decided to tell Lin Chi the truth tonight, tell him that he recognized the wrong person that morning, and tell him why he wanted to break up!

The author has something to say:

The setting of this world is that, except for the additional Lin Cheng, most of the other events correspond to everything the original body has experienced. In other words, what He Qing has experienced is what that the original body has experienced (except for extra Lin Cheng)
