Chapter 24: Some Things Don't Need to Be Suppressed

[Xie BoShun has already started contacting HeJin.]

When DuYan saw this message, he thought that Xie BoShun really couldn't hold it anymore, and was in such a haste.

His fingers curled up and rhythmically tapped on the armrest of the sofa. This was DuYan's habit when thinking, especially when he felt a little anxious.

Xie BoShun was almost completely acting in accordance with DuYan's plan, and everything was going smoothly. However, on HeJin's side, there were once again variables.

DuYan didn’t like the feeling of his plans changing very much.

However, HeJin was the embodiment of the master of the dream world. No matter how much DuYan didn’t like it, he could only diligently revise the route so that the ending would go in the direction he expected.

He thought about how to distance himself from HeJin so that Xie BoShun could continue contacting HeJin. With Xie BoShun's cautious character, he would not have any further contact with HeJin if he could not guarantee that he would not be discovered at all.

According to DuYan's original plan, HeJin would live at school and then would naturally meet Xie BoShun.

However, HeJin, the bear child, did not live in school at all, but actually lived in the same community and lived next door to DuYan. Since DuYan lived here, it was naturally inconvenient for HeJin and Xie BoShun to communicate privately.

DuYan was both angry and pleased at the same time. Angry, because his plans changed.

Pleased because HeJin had acted methodically. He had been able to hide that he was living next door secretly for more than a year without being discovered. If the property manager hadn't come looking for him, DuYan would still have been in the dark.

Not long ago, someone from the property management knocked on the door and informed them that they would replace the access control system. However, the owner next door was not at home. After making two calls, the other party did not answer, so he knocked on DuYan's door.

DuYan felt strange at first. The owner next door was not at home so why would they knock on his own door. Speaking of which, he had moved in for more than a year, but he had never seen his neighbors. DuYan had always thought that the house next door was vacant.

He directly asked the doubts in his mind, but got shocking news from the property manager. The owner of the suite next door was HeJin. Both houses were registered under HeJin's name, and HeJin lived in the suite next door.

After sending off the property manager, DuYan sat on the sofa for a long time.

These two houses are large units, with stairs and two rooms, so there were no awkward situations. Then why did HeJin buy another suite to live in by herself, and even kept it from him.

If it was for the sake of love, it was difficult to understand why the child would buy the house under the eyes of his guardian.

If it were to guard against his uncle, it would be unreasonable. As far as DuYan knew, Xie BoShun had yet to contact HeJin in private.

The news from Xie Siqi had just been delivered to Zhou Yali, but this suite had been bought more than a year ago.

At that time, HeJin probably didn't know anything. DuYan didn’t even fully tell him about the Xie Family’s grievances, such as hatred, rich family struggles, and so on.

What was HeJin’s purpose?

Just as DuYan was speculating about the various possibilities, the person he had placed next to Xie BoShun had sent him some news.

DuYan still couldn't figure out HeJin's purpose, but the plan had to be revised according to the actual situation. Now that Xie BoShun had begun to contact HeJin, now was a good time.

He decided to take this opportunity to expose HeJin's purchase of the suite without telling him. The two would fall out and he would move out, making it easier for Xie BoShun and HeJin to communicate.

DuYan guessed that in HeJin's heart, he was only a 19 year old youth and would resent having his guardian interfere. What's more, he had used the education fund left by his parents.

From his point of view, he would be able to smoothly arouse HeJin’s disgust, and guide the other party to have a big quarrel with himself step by step.

After going through the planning process in his heart, DuYan directly called HeJin to come back.

When HeJin entered the door, his expression was a little strange.

As soon as he entered the door, he stared at DuYan with an eager look he hadn’t had in a long time. DuYan felt his back turn cold, and his hair seemed to stand up straight.

DuYan frowned invisibly, and decided to speak first, "The people from the property management came by.”

"Huh?" HeJin returned from his own world, "What's wrong?"

"The property manager said that in order to change the access control system, they require the owner’s signature and consent.” DuYan looked into HeJin's eyes.

HeJin's face finally showed a trace of panic, "And--And then?”

DuYan said, "Why don’t you explain why you bought the house next door and had me live here?”

HeJin didn't say a word. It seemed that he was a little flustered because the secret that had been hidden for a long time was exposed.

DuYan continued, "Of course, now that you are an adult, you have the right to control your own property. If you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you. After all, I'm just your uncle."

What HeJin couldn’t stand the most was listening to DuYan trying to get rid of their relationship.

He was young after all, and he was also in front of the person he valued most. In this case, as soon as he was stimulated by DuYan, some emotions began to get out of control.

"The reason is very simple. When we were in Nancheng, you directly moved back to Beicheng, which made me feel very insecure." HeJin smiled, "So only by living next to you can I feel at ease."

DuYan was taken aback, and almost couldn’t control the expression on his face.

In his opinion, this incident had long been turned over. HeJin was already an adult, not a child who couldn’t leave his guardian. How did this situation cause a psychological shadow? He even bought two houses next to each other because of a lack of security, and then secretly lived nearby for more than a year without telling himself.

"You can live here." DuYan said.

"If I lived here, then would you be able to live here at ease uncle?”

DuYan was speechless, HeJin was right. If he came here often, then DuYan would of course find excuses not to come back.

After all, in Beicheng, DuYan had his own house. In addition to participating in the power play of the Xie Family, he had also moved away from Nancheng in order to alienate HeJin. So that when they turned on each other, HeJin’s feelings towards him wouldn’t be too deep and cause a psychological shadow.

If HeJin lived with him, then all previous actions would be meaningless.

DuYan thought for a while, and said, "I don't deny that if you lived here often, I would move away slowly."

"I’ve known about that for a long time, so it became natural to buy two suites and live next to you secretly." The initial panic on HeJin's face disappeared completely, and now looked as if this was how things were supposed to be.

DuYan was not easily persuaded by his messy logic, "HeJin, you are in an abnormal state now. You are an adult, so it is abnormal to be inseparable from your uncle."

"Uncle?" HeJin smiled with a weird expression, "I want to be closer to you. It has nothing to do with you being my uncle. Besides, are you really my uncle?"

DuYan felt that something was wrong the moment he heard him. He had just praised HeJin's growth in his heart, saying that he was beginning to act in a well-organized manner.

But now, how could he rashly expose the fact that there is no blood relationship between them two?

According to normal logic, after contact with Xie BoShun, whether HeJin believed those claims or not, he should temporarily pretend to be ignorant, and then slowly investigate DuYan's true purpose of doing these things.

But what was HeJin doing now? DuYan’s ideas turned several times in an instant, but he still failed to understand HeJin's purpose.

DuYan had to keep his face expressionless, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?"

"I heard a very interesting news from a friend. You and I are not related by blood, and you also know about this." HeJin said smoothly, as if something that was hidden at the bottom of his head was finally able to break open the gate.

"So? What is it that you want? Revenge for my deception?"

HeJin was finally annoyed by DuYan's expressionless face. Even though the shocking secret was exposed, he was still cold as if it had nothing to do with him.

This person, if his expression ever fluctuated because of HeJin, it would be a heartbreaking scene.

After all, HeJin is just a young man under the age of twenty. First, Zhou Yali told him that he had no blood relationship with DuYan. And afterwards, upon returning, he was told that DuYan learned of his secret that he had been hiding for a long time.

On an impulse, he told the taboo secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "If you are not my uncle, then there are some things that I don’t need to hide. I like you.”

At this moment, DuYan sincerely thanked the Boqi bloodline flowing through him. Perhaps because the blood did not belong to a human, he had always been a little too indifferent to emotions since he was sensible.

This allowed him to maintain a certain level of calm and composure, such as the shocking situation before him now.

DuYan stood up and walked to HeJin.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at HeJin, and carefully looked at each other's expressions and emotions in the other’s eyes.

DuYan's skin was very white, and when standing in front of the light, the whole person looked ethereal and unreal.

As HeJin looked at DuYan like this, he only felt that the heart in his chest was beginning to beat uncontrollably. It was like when he first saw DuYan smile for the first time in high school.

That's right, look at me, only look at me.

HeJin almost greedily placed everything in front of him into his eyes and hid it in his heart.

DuYan finally spoke, his tone was flat, it seemed that HeJin's previous confession was just a trivial matter, "Have you calmed down yet? The words you just said, I can treat it as you being angry and speaking without care.”

DuYan wanted to cover up this unexpected mishap, but HeJin only wanted to see the person before him have other expressions other than the always cold and arrogant face.

He suddenly stood up and looked straight into those indifferent eyes, "I said, I like you. The kind of like that an adult man has for his partner, the kind of like that wants to kiss you and go to bed with.”
