Chapter 8 – Let’s Break Up

There was a faint fragrance of lavender in the air. He Qing desperately stretched out his hand in the direction where Lin Chi’s voice appeared, “Ah Chi…It’s not…no…”

He Qing stuttered when he was nervous. In the past, Lin Chi would patiently listen to him until he finished, but now, his eyes were bloodshot due to a sleepless night, and he looked condescendingly at the boy with disheveled clothes exposing a white waist, his voice full of disgust. “I’m going back to my room, remember to wear a condom.”

The door was slammed closed, He Qing’s head was blank, his hand was still in the air, but no one would come to take it gently. In an instant, his life fell from heaven to hell.

In the darkness, the man behind him patted his head gently. He Qing immediately seemed to avoid some great scourge, screaming hoarsely while dodging. He couldn’t see, and fell off the edge of the bed, but just as the man wanted to get out of bed, he crawled to the corner, hugged his knees and curled into a ball.

Looking at the trembling young man, Lin Cheng retracted his hand and felt a thread of pain in his heart. For the first time he regretted it. He got out of bed as quietly as possible. He Qing’s train of thought was in total chaos at this time and did not notice his footsteps. So when that lavender scent suddenly appeared in front of him, he broke down!

“Ah!! Aaaahhh!!!” He kept waving his hands in front of him, the gauze soaked with tears, and his white skin had a few bruises and swellin from his previous fall, but He Qing couldn’t feel them at all.

Being hit over and over again, although he had already guessed the boy’s reaction a long time ago, Lin Cheng’s heart was filled with confusion.

Do you want to be with Lin Chi this much?

When it’s me, is it so hard for you to accept?

Lin Cheng expressionlessly took out the tranquilizer he had prepared before and injected it, quietly watching the boy’s hand weakly fall to his side. He hugged him, and his usual cold voice was very gentle at this moment, the low and magnetic voice crooned in the boy’s ear: “It’s okay…nothing’s wrong…it’s okay…I will always be with you…don’t worry…”

The gauze was loose before, and now it slid down completely. He Qing opened his eyes full of tears and looked at nothingness, following the man’s voice, slowly falling into sleep.

Lin Cheng held him, his large, well-defined hands slowly and naturally patted the boy’s back, feeling his body slowly softening, and then carefully placed him up on the bed, looking at his brows even as he slept. The man picked up the gauze on the table to help him cover his eyes again.

After covering the boy with the quilt, Lin Cheng leaned over and dropped a kiss on He Qing’s forehead, smiling contentedly: “Good night.” My treasure.

——

Lin Chi became a little restless when he heard the sorrowful and desperate shouts of the young man. He couldn’t help but think whether he had mistaken something. The anger after seeing such a scene was gradually replaced by calmness.

He originally planned to wait a bit, if he heard still heard He Qing’s shouts, he would break in to see. But he didn’t expect that soon enough, it became quiet. Lin Chi sat on the sofa in a daze, wondering whether he should go over or not.

— Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Chi felt like he was about to be sentenced to death. He sat motionlessly on the soda, but the knocking on the door was remained neither slow nor fast.

–The door opened, and the man he called the father was standing outside the door. He walked in naturally, completely unaffected by his son walking into his “good thing” not long ago.

Lin Chi heard the man’s indifferent voice announce: “The Sun family intends to marry into the Lin clan, and I agreed.”

“Get engaged first, and discuss the wedding date after university graduation.”

Lin Chi hadn’t figured out what happened tonight, how could he be willing to get engaged so easily? His voice was hoarse and he looked at Lin Cheng with red eyes: “Father, I don’t want to!”

“Okay.” Unexpectedly, Lin Cheng agreed in one breath. He looked at Lin Chi, who was rarely showed any weakness, as if he (Lin Cheng) could see through him(Lin Chi). “You give up your right of inheritance, and I will re-train an obedient heir.”

Lin Chi froze.

He looked at the man whose emotions had been steady since the beginning, and for the first time he clearly realized how big the gap between himself and him (Lin Cheng) was. As for what he was thinking, Lin Cheng knew clearly.

Giving up the right of inheritance is absolutely impossible for the ambitious Lin Chi.

Before the man left, he threw out a sentence: “The engagement banquet will be held in seven days” before leaving. Lin Chi suddenly called out to him, staring at Lin Cheng with stubborn eyes: “What’s going on with you and He Qing?”

Lin Cheng’s footsteps paused, with his back towards him(Lin Chi), hooked up the corner of his lips, and said in a magnetic voice: “When he wakes up, you can ask yourself.”

—

He Qing woke up to the sound of the system. It was obviously a mechanical voice without emotion, but it shouted like it was unloved:

【83, -20, 60, 30, -50, 0, 83……】

He Qing felt amused after listening: 【What are you talking about! 】

System: 【Lin Chi’s favorability, up and down, fluctuating greatly. 】It began to worry that it would not be able to finish the character and get the points.

【Panic for what, playing around is exciting, come, watch xiaoye show you a play even more exciting! 】[tl: xiaoye is an arrogant way to refer to yourself, like “this grandpa”]

The hand of the person lying on the bed moved slowly, and a man’s voice came almost immediately: “You woke up?”

The boy was a little confused at first. After recalling everything before going to bed, his whole body became stiff. Lin Cheng’s slightly apologetic voice was in his ear: “Sorry, I drank too much while socializing last night, and went to the wrong room in the morning… “

He Qing was stiff and motionless, biting his lip without making a sound, but tears kept running down his cheeks, looking very pitiful. Lin Cheng continued to say: “I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. If you have any request, then tell me, I can do it without delay.”

The air fell silent. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Cheng heard He Qing’s trembling tearful voice: “Why… was it lavender…”

If he hadn’t smelled lavender, he would never recognized the wrong person!

With the boy’s inability to see, Lin Cheng looked at him tenderly, with a guilty tone: “I came back after washing up in a hotel last night. Maybe the shower gel smelled of lavender. I drank too much last night and didn’t pay attention.”

He Qing’s brain has been confused, he couldn’t tell whether Lin Cheng was telling the truth or lying, but he knows that Ah Chi must have misunderstood, right! Ah Chi! !

Suddenly awakened, the boy was struggled to get up. The person beside him stretched out his hand to help him, but was dodged in a panic by him. After realizing his reaction, he tried to hide his fear: “Uncle, Uncle Lin, I will do it myself.”

Lin Cheng’s voice was serene, but his eyes sank: “Are you going to find Lin Chi? He just agreed to a marriage contract last night, and he drank a little much. He may not be up yet.”

He Qing froze, feeling his neck was stiff, twisting in the direction of Lin Cheng like a person made of wood: “Marriage…contract?”

“Correct.” The corner of Lin Cheng’s mouth raised slightly: “The engagement will be official in seven days. I can see that Lin Chi is very satisfied with the marriage and drank a lot in happiness.”

He Qing’s brain went blank, only the magnetic and pleasant voice slipped into his ear canal like a devil’s whisper, “Ah Qing, as his classmate, you should be there to attend.”

After half an hour, the living room.

He Qing’s eyes were covered with white gauze, and his expression was calm as he said to Lin Chi, “Ah Chi, let’s break up.”
