The benefactor suspects that I don't love him

After Lu Li got home, he didn't have the heart to cook. After putting all the dishes in the refrigerator, he began to sit on the sofa in a daze.

It's not that he hasn't thought about calling Chen Yuan, but what can he do after the other party answers, if he can't stay, there is no need to bother Chen Yuan anymore.

Lu Li thought, maybe this is the best way, time will wash away everything, and one day Chen Yuan will find someone more suitable than him.

And this person will not be Lu Li.

It wasn't until sunset that Lu Li came back to his senses, ate a few mouthfuls and went to the balcony.

The ashtray on the balcony was cleaned by Lu Li every day. Today, he hadn't smoked yet, but the ashtray in it was full, presumably it was Chen Yuan who smoked it.Chen Yuan is not addicted to cigarettes, so he smoked so hard this time because he might have a fire in his heart.

Lu Li's downcast eyes were a little dazed for a moment, he took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket and took out a cigarette, thought about it and put it back, took the ashtray and dumped it into the trash can.

Sure enough, as Chen Yuan said, he never came back these days, and completely severed contact with Lu Li.Lu Li suspected that if he called at this time, he would be prompted to be blocked by the other party.

Three days passed quickly, and Lu Li had already packed his luggage.

He left the key on the shoe cabinet at the door, cleaned everything in the house, stood at the door and looked around, and then resolutely stepped on the bullet train bound for S city.

There are too many memories of him here, sweetness, youth, bitterness, sadness, and finally all turned into nothingness.

Lu Li didn't dare to look back all the way to the station, for fear that he would lose the courage and determination to leave.

So he didn't see that a familiar black car followed all the way from his home to the station, and there was a person in the car who was thinking about him.

……

A city full of traffic is the easiest place for people to forget their feelings. It has been two years since Lu Li returned to S City.

After he came back that year, he applied for the resume of a relatively large local company, and luckily got the internship qualification.

In the past two years, he has been promoted from an intern to a director with his outstanding talent, and he is highly valued by the company's boss.

And grandma passed away a few months ago, and he has no relatives in this world anymore.Looking back on the previous days, it was really like a dream, and now he woke up from the dream, leaving him alone.

"Lu Li, you're back to your senses!" The girl next to him tugged at his sleeve in dissatisfaction and said coquettishly.

Lu Li pulled back his sleeves calmly, only to realize that he was dazed again at some point, so he smiled apologetically at Meng Yin, "I'm sorry, I didn't have a good rest yesterday."

Meng Yinjiao snorted and said generously, "Forget it, forget it, you've been in a daze since I knew you."

"Hey, let me tell you," she leaned towards Lu Li gossipingly, "What have you been thinking all day?"

Lu Li stepped back a little to increase the distance, and changed the subject a little bluntly, "Did you just tell me which dress you are looking at?"

As soon as he said Meng Yin, he immediately forgot the question just now, and quickly raised the two clothes in his hand and asked, "Which of these two clothes do you think looks better?"

Lu Li compared two long dresses of the same color and similar style back and forth, but couldn't see any difference, so he pointed to the one on her left hand, "I think this one looks good."

Meng Yin's eyes lit up, she jumped up and patted him on the shoulder, "You can finally have the same vision as this girl for once!" After she finished speaking, she happily asked the clerk to wrap up the dress.

Lu Li felt pain from her slap, and looked helplessly at Meng Yin bouncing and following the clerk to the counter to check out.

Meng Yin is the daughter of the boss of his company. She just entered her sophomore year at the age of 20, and she is full of youth and vitality.

The little girl has been clinging to him since the first time they met two years ago, and everyone in the company can see the admiration in her eyes.

But because Meng Yin never behaved too much, and never said any ambiguous words, Lu Li couldn't refuse her invitation directly, so he could only politely decline her invitation every time.

But this time, the little girl's birthday party was approaching, Meng Yin begged Lu Li for several days before letting go, and agreed to accompany her to choose the dress.

Seeing Meng Yin come out with her clothes, Lu Li thoughtfully stepped forward to help carry the bag, Meng Yin smiled and said, "Lu Li, whoever is with you will surely die of happiness."

Lu Li walked slowly in accordance with Meng Yin's walking speed, not paying attention to her words, "There's nothing good about me."

Meng Yin counted on her fingers, "You are handsome, you have a good personality, and you are capable of working. The most important thing is that I know that you will treat your girlfriend very well."

Lu Li chuckled lightly and didn't answer her.

He didn't have a girlfriend, but he did have a boyfriend, or maybe he wasn't even considered a boyfriend, but just a sponsor.

And Meng Yin was wrong, he was not particularly good to Chen Yuan, what he did for Chen Yuan was far less than one percent of what Chen Yuan did for him.

Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Lu Li asked Meng Yin to wait at the door for him to pick up the car.Randomly glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a familiar figure in a black suit not far away, and when he wanted to take a closer look, that person had already boarded the car.

Lu Li also took a special look at the license plate of that car, and found that it was an unfamiliar local car.Then he shook his head and laughed, wondering why he was suspicious, how could that person come here when he was far away in City A.

After denying it in his heart, Lu Li no longer struggled, and drove to the door to pick up Meng Yin.

……

Lu Li feels something is wrong recently, he feels that he is being followed.

But that kind of feeling is erratic, so he is not sure if he is overthinking.

In fact, this wasn't the first time he felt this way. When he first returned to City S two years ago, he always felt that someone was following him behind him, but he never caught the handle, and then that feeling gradually faded away.

Another time was at his grandma's funeral. He was so sad that he couldn't help himself, but he still felt a person watching him silently behind him.

Now, this feeling came again.

Lu Li was a little scared and annoyed at the same time. Anyone who was followed so many times would be aroused a little bloody, so he decided to find out that person.

So when he went home on Friday, he took the elevator up first, but didn't enter the house, and hid directly in the stairwell, wanting to see if anyone followed.

As a result, more than ten minutes passed, and the elevator did not move, and the number of floors was still on the ninth floor of his house.

Lu Li was a little puzzled, did he really feel wrong?Or did that person not intend to follow?

After waiting for a while, although the elevator started to run, it eventually stopped at other floors, probably because there were other people taking it during off-duty hours.

Lu Li felt that he was really thinking too much, so he took out the key and planned to go home. The moment he took the key, he thought about it, and then put it back in his pocket.

He decided to go downstairs and have a look.

Although the decision was a bit risky, he still wanted to give it a try.Instead of taking the elevator this time, he walked down the stairs.

Now almost no one would choose to take the stairs, so Lu Li walked down the road unimpeded.

On the stairs next to the first floor, Lu Li saw a figure sitting on the bottom step.

With a 'thump' in his heart, Lu Li wanted to turn around and run back, secretly annoyed why he was stabbed so hard without any self-defense.

And the person sitting on the steps raised his head inadvertently when he heard the sound, Lu Li suddenly stopped in his steps to go back.

"Chen Yuan?"

Chen Yuan was originally sitting on the bottom step with his knees bent, but when Lu Li saw it, he panicked for a moment.

He stood up, wanted to escape but somehow stopped there, he didn't move, just looked at Lu Li greedily with his eyes.

Lu Li frowned and slowly came downstairs.Chen Yuan has changed a lot in the past two years, so big that he almost didn't recognize it just now.

The originally slender and well-proportioned figure has become very thin, as if it will disappear when the wind blows, her face is pale and her cheeks are sunken, and her hair, which is always carefully groomed, is also very messy at the moment.

Lu Li walked up to him and scanned him from head to toe expressionlessly.

Chen Yuan was a little flustered by him, his whole body was trembling slightly, his lips trembled but he didn't speak.

"You've been following me lately?" Lu Li asked.

Chen Yuan didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and lowered his head slightly before answering, "Yes."

Lu Li asked again, "So, you were also you when I first came to S City and when I was at grandma's funeral?"

There was a trace of dejection in Chen Yuan's downcast eyes, and he said, "It's me."

Unexpectedly, Lu Li didn't stop there. He took a step forward and slowly pushed Chen Yuan back to the corner. He slightly opened his lips and asked, "Why?"

Chen Yuan lowered his head and said nothing, Lu Li asked again patiently, "Why are you following me?"

Lu Li was a little annoyed that he didn't get an answer for a long time. He wanted to grab Chen Yuan by the collar and question him loudly. We have nothing to do with each other. Why do we still do this kind of thing!

But when he touched Chen Yuan's slightly trembling body, he still swallowed the words.At this moment, he saw that one tear fell on the ground, followed by two, three...

Lu Li pinched Chen Yuan's jaw and forced him to raise his head, and saw that pale cheek was covered with tears.

Chen Yuan tightly closed his eyes and didn't want to let the tears stay, but the pain of longing for the past two years turned into a big net that trapped him firmly, making him unable to move, full of grievances.

The person who had been thinking about it day and night was standing in front of him, and he looked like this.
