Shock! The male protagonist has turned dark again, the host should pamper him

Lin Jianshen followed Xu Muzhe back to the apartment where they used to live.

He sat absentmindedly on the sofa, his mind still replaying what had just happened in the restaurant.

Xu Muzhe actually abandoned Lin Yi'an and chose him, spending his birthday with him.

This is something that Lin Jianshen in the past would never have dared to even think about.

Before any accidents happened, as long as Lin Yi'an made a phone call, Xu Muzhe would rush over no matter how busy he was.

Even when they were in bed together, and he was trying his best to please Xu Muzhe, he still couldn't keep Xu Muzhe.

Lin Jianshen always felt that he hadn't done enough, which was why he couldn't keep Xu Muzhe's heart. But Xu Muzhe's love was always Lin Yi'an, so what was the use of doing his best?

"The food is ready, come and eat."

Xu Muzhe's voice pulled Lin Jianshen back to his senses. He got up from the sofa and walked to the dining table.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's not hot," Lin Jianshen said in a nonchalant tone. "It's too much trouble this way."

"No trouble at all." Xu Muzhe handed him the chopsticks. "Let's eat first."

After taking two bites, Lin Jianshen put his chopsticks down again.

Xu Muzhe noticed and asked, "Is it not tasty anymore?"

Lin Jianshen shook his head, unable to resist bringing up Lin Yi'an, "That person is your... lover's younger brother, right? How come he looks so much like me?"

“They are twins.” Xu Muzhe also put down his chopsticks.

"When you see his face..." Lin Jianshen paused, his smile tinged with malice and self-destruction, "Does it remind you of your lover?"

Just like when they were together, she was holding his body, thinking of Lin Yi'an's face.

“No,” Xu Muzhe said. “They are not the same.”

A mocking glint appeared in Lin Jianshen's eyes.

lie.

The person who said they looked alike and used him as a stand-in for Lin Yi'an was Xu Muzhe.

Why does it feel different this time? Does he not even have the chance to be remembered?

Lin Jianshen then remembered something else, "Why was he so afraid when he saw me? Did you say something to him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gentleness in Xu Muzhe's eyes vanished, and his tone turned cold. "I'm curious too."

Lin Jianshen didn't understand Xu Muzhe's words, so he simply stopped asking and picked up his chopsticks again, eating with a bland taste.

A moment later, Xu Muzhe's phone, which was on the table, rang.

Xu Muzhe glanced at it and said to Lin Jianshen, "I'm going out for a bit. Wait for me for five minutes."

Lin Jianshen assumed it was Lin Yi'an calling and didn't want to care too much, lest it worsen his mood, so he nodded perfunctorily.

Xu Muzhe left, and Lin Jianshen lost his appetite even more. After putting down his chopsticks, he got up and went to Xu Muzhe's bedroom.

He looked around; nothing had changed inside, and their photos were still displayed.

Lin Jianshen turned his gaze away from the photo and went to rummage through the drawers, trying to find evidence that Xu Muzhe had hired someone to commit murder.

He found no evidence, only the ring box.

Lin Jianshen frowned. Was this bought for Lin Yi'an?

Just as he was about to open the ring box, he heard the sound of a lock being opened outside.

Lin Jianshen's expression changed, and he quickly closed the drawer, leaving the bedroom and pretending to come out of the bathroom.

Upon entering the living room and recognizing Xu Muzhe, Lin Jianshen stopped in his tracks, staring in surprise at the cake box Xu Muzhe was carrying.

Xu Muzhe noticed his gaze and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Since it's your birthday, how could we be without a cake?"

When was it ordered?

"Before going to the restaurant."

Lin Jianshen raised his head, his gaze falling on Xu Muzhe's handsome face. "You had planned to bring me to your house to celebrate all along?"

"No," Xu Muzhe shook his head and said, "We originally planned to celebrate at a restaurant, but something unpleasant happened, so we had to change the location of the cake delivery to here."

Xu Muzhe actually compared Lin Yi'an to something unpleasant.

Lin Jianshen began to suspect that something had really happened between the two of them, and why Xu Muzhe's attitude had changed so quickly.

As the candles on the cake were lit, Lin Jianshen listened to the birthday song that Xu Muzhe was playing on his phone, and his expression became somewhat complicated.

It's funny to say that.

This was the first time he had received such treatment in all the time he had been with Xu Muzhe.

Before, let alone birthday cakes, Xu Muzhe wouldn't even eat with him.

He and Lin Yi'an share the same birthday, so Xu Muzhe will only choose Lin Yi'an.

His parents were too.

Every year on his birthday, he hates himself countless times for coming into this world and embarrassing everyone.

As he blew out the candles, he heard Xu Muzhe whisper, "Don't dwell on things that aren't worth it, just forget about them."

The candle was blown out, and Lin Jianshen could not see Xu Muzhe's face clearly, thinking that he had just imagined it.

Two days later, Lin Jianshen went to the hospital to visit Lin Yi'an.

He waited until the Lin couple left before going into the ward.

Lin Yi'an, with a thick bandage wrapped around his head, ate strawberries his parents had bought with a fork.

Upon seeing Lin Jianshen's figure, his face turned ashen, and the fork in his hand fell onto the quilt, leaving a small blush on his face from the strawberry juice.

"You...you stay away..." Lin Yi'an shrank back, staring at Lin Jianshen in terror. "If you want revenge, go find them. They're the ones who killed you."

Lin Jianshen's eyes darkened.

What do they mean?

Does it refer to Xu Muzhe, or to the people who hit him with their cars?

If he has no connection with Lin Yi'an, why is Lin Yi'an so afraid of him as soon as she sees him?

Just as Lin Jianshen was about to say something, the nurse who was changing Lin Yi'an's dressing suddenly came in.

He frowned, then his cold expression changed, revealing a gentle smile.

“You might have mistaken me for your brother, just like Xu Muzhe did.” Lin Jianshen took out a business card he had prepared beforehand and handed it to the flustered Lin Yi’an. “This is my family company’s business card. My name is Shen Duanchen.”

Regardless of whether Lin Yi'an believed it or not, he directly shoved the business card into Lin Yi'an's hand.

Lin Yi'an was stunned for a long time before looking down at the business card, and then his expression became even more unpleasant.

He turned out to be the young master of a big company.
