A few cronies dragged Lu Yuyan to their graduation party. Zhong Ming prepared a candlelight dinner, expensive gifts, and other malicious things.

His patience is running out.

Lu Yuyan was determined not to go at first, but a group of people even pushed him into the car, and the students passing by knew that he was a graduated senior, and they knew that the pursuit incident that caused a sensation in the whole school, so they didn't take it back. thing.

Lu Yuyan was already very angry on the road, but he has always been a very sensible person, knowing that he would not be able to run away, so he didn't struggle hard.

Zhong Ming arranged a very romantic confession scene, and Lu Yuyan bumped into a large bouquet of roses as soon as he entered the door, and his complexion was already very bad.After listening to the already tired confession, Lu Yuyan focused all his attention on observing the environment.

He was keenly aware that the atmosphere was not right, and contacted Zhong Ming who was about to graduate, and realized that this was the last supper.

Zhong Ming has many friends, and there are more than a dozen people who planned this confession.Lu Yuyan knew that he would not be able to escape if he forced his way in. Zhong Ming could still talk to him well now, but if he provoked him in a while, he might come hard.

Fortunately, Lu Yuyan had made an appointment for dinner with that love sage senior, Xin Yi, and the other party knew that he was abducted by Zhong Ming's people as soon as he inquired.

Xin Yi was Xin Yi after all, he gathered a large group of people in a short period of time, and dragged them to the hotel for dinner under the banner of a graduation party.Zhong Ming is also powerful enough to abduct people and go to the hotel he often goes to, Xin Yi finds Lu Yuyan without much effort.

There was no advantage in numbers, and Lu Yuyan finally left the hotel unscathed, but it was a shame. Xin Yi's family also cooperated with the Zhong family, and he exerted a little pressure. Zhong Ming was later scolded by the Zhong family. One pass was sent abroad.

This wasn't a good memory in the first place, it was really hard for Lu Yuyan to imagine seeing Zhong Ming again, he didn't expect it to appear so unexpectedly.

"Mr. Zhong...I'm not a professional designer now. I have a lot of work on my hands. I'm here this time to talk to you about changing my design."

Lu Yuyan still chose to do more than do less, and was going to reject the project.But Zhong Ming stayed abroad for six or seven years, and has grown into a smooth and sophisticated businessman.

"That's not what I said. I trust your level to hand over the courtyard to you. I have let go of the things of the past, but you can't let go of it?" Zhong Ming is now mature and stable, and he is quite calm and steady.

This is not a question of whether or not to let it go, because Lu Yuyan was psychologically resistant to designing for Zhong Ming.But this is unclear. If Zhong Ming recognized that Lu Yuyan did not design for him because he had something on his mind, it would be very irritating.

Lu Yuyan was really afraid of getting in touch with Zhong Ming again, because he was really difficult to deal with.

It was Mr. Qin's WeChat that rescued Lu Yuyan.

Qin Zhi knew that Lu Yuyan had gone out to look at the plot, so he took the time to send him a WeChat message asking him how he was doing and when he would be home.

Lu Yuyan bowed his head and returned to WeChat, but he still repeatedly rejected Zhong Ming's invitation. Originally, he was looking for his mentor for this project, and he was just helping.

Zhong Ming sighed: "I'm really sorry for what happened back then. I was young and vigorous, and I didn't think too much about it. This time, if I have a chance to turn the war into a jade silk, can't I just treat it as an apology for you?"

Lu Yuyan was dubious, but fortunately, the contract hadn't been signed yet, so he didn't have to compel him to complete the design at all.

"I promise I won't bother you. I'm also in a hurry to live in this place. It would be a waste of time to find someone else to design it. How about you?"

Lu Yuyan is a person who is soft but not hard, and Zhong Ming has a very good attitude. He doesn't even hit the smiling face when he reaches out. Lu Yuyan can't say the words of refusal for a while.

Mr. Qin has little work on weekends, so he started to ask Xiao Yuer about his progress after completing the task early, and planned to drive to pick up Yu Yan on the way to have dinner.

Lu Yuyan was in a dilemma, while Zhong Ming waited patiently.He has the face of an outstanding young man, and he has always been good at image engineering, at least his face will never be faulted.Lu Yuyan also suffered a few times in front of this scheming boy.

"I'm really busy, and my job is not design. For your aesthetic sake, I suggest you find a professional designer, who is much better than me." Lu Yuyan just opened a position for Mr. Qin, then Reply will be here soon.

"Lu Yuyan, do you think I'm still the same as I was six or seven years ago?" Zhong Ming suddenly laughed, that smile was not friendly at all, and Lu Yuyan read deep malice from it.

"The lack of preparation made you run away. I sighed for a long time. Now that I have learned to make full use of information, do you think I can still escape?"

Zhong Ming's smile was impeccable, anyone who saw him looked gentle and kind, but Lu Yuyan knew his stubbornness and pathology too well, and there was a heavy evil in his eyes.

"Is your new boyfriend coming to pick you up soon? I won't hurt you, it's just..." Zhong Ming approached his ear and asked with a smile, "You still have a big secret that you haven't told him, right?"

"About... a human life."

There was a bang in Lu Yuyan's ears, his thoughts cleared almost instantly, and his mind went blank.

Dark and depressive memories swept over him, overwhelming him instantly.He thought that those memories had gradually become less clear, and he thought that after more than ten years of hard work, he could already control his emotions.However, the dark past was suddenly uncovered by someone full of malice, and he realized in a daze that those pictures were still vivid and profound, and the pain was still lingering like a shadow.

There is the evil laughter of the bell ringing in the ear, accompanied by loud scolding, heart-piercing crying, the body remembers the pain faster than the brain, covers the ears with trembling hands, and closes the eyes tightly, but the memory is nowhere to be found Hiding, cutting and tearing his soul like a sharp sword.

It hurts so much.

Lu Yuyan knew that he shouldn't expose his fragility in front of Zhong Ming, but the psychological blow affected his calmness, and now he couldn't control his body trembling nervously, and his state was very abnormal.

"It seems...you know what to do." Zhong Ming's threatening voice drifted into his ears from far to near.

Lu Yuyan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to drag himself out of the memory, and suddenly raised his head to stare at Zhong Ming who was close at hand, his eyes were so cold that Zhong Ming stopped for a moment.

His eyes were always cold and clear, but now they were pitch black and bottomless.Pain is wrapped in sharp hatred, like a sharp blade pushing Zhong Ming back.

He suddenly realized that not only was he growing up these years, but Lu Yuyan had also become stronger.

"I'll send you the first draft of the design next week. If I pass it, I'll continue to refine it. If you can't pass it, please hire someone else. Everyone is a smart person, and they should know where the bottom line is. This is the first time I've been threatened by you. And the only time."

Lu Yuyan's clenched fist behind his back still trembled slightly, but his calmness over the years had brought back his sanity.

The next design is indeed because of the threat of the big secret that Zhong Ming said.But he couldn't let Zhong Ming become a vampire, squeezing his life time and time again.So he wanted to cut off the so-called "threat" held by Zhong Ming as soon as possible.

"Okay, I believe you won't let me down." Zhong Ming accepted it as soon as he saw it, and nodded with a smile.

When Mr. Qin rushed to the villa area according to the location, he saw Lu Yuyan sitting alone on a bench under the shade of a tree.He closed his eyes tightly, his expression tired, and his whole body was immersed in indescribable gloom.

"... Words?"

Qin Zhi rarely called Lu Yuyan's nickname in such a serious way, but he was naturally sensitive to the atmosphere, and realized that it was not suitable to say "little fish" who was more teasing and coquettish at this time.

Lu Yuyan opened his eyes and turned to look at him. Qin Zhi suddenly felt uneasy.

That look was too faint, as if asking for help.

"What's the matter?" He stepped forward quickly, and pulled him into his arms with quick eyes and hands. For a calm and independent person like Lu Yuyan, it must be such a serious thing that could hit him.

Lu Yuyan's mind was in a mess, and most of the silence he maintained at the moment was forced. Mr. Qin's appearance brought a sense of security, but at the same time, it also brought a sense of guilt.

Zhong Ming's threat was very effective. He didn't tell Qin Zhi the secret, hoping that he would take the initiative to investigate his past.But Mr. Qin gave him such deep trust that he didn't even investigate his experience.Such trust, but not equal honesty, he was full of guilt when facing Qin Zhi's concerned and worried eyes.

Lu Yuyan was pulled by guilt and pain, and he became extremely timid.

Qin Zhi was very quiet, waiting for Lu Yuyan to speak, whether it was complaining or complaining, cursing or sighing, he was waiting for Lu Yuyan to talk.

But this time he was doomed to be disappointed. Lu Yuyan paused for a while and took a breath, as if a drowning person picked up a piece of driftwood for a while. Although he knew that the piece of driftwood was too small to support him for a long time, he still chose Hold on a little longer.

Insist on carrying it yourself.

Lu Yuyan shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "I'm a little tired, let's go home."

Mr. Qin's eyes suddenly dimmed, but he still took his hand to get into the car.

The two returned home in silence. If it was Lu Yuyan in normal times, he would definitely be aware of Mr. Qin's depression, but he has been tortured for too long today, physically and mentally exhausted, and has no energy to analyze Qin Zhi's unreasonable silence.

After Mr. Qin made dinner, Lu Yuyan went back to the room absent-mindedly, not even turning on the computer.The thought of designing for a bastard who threatened him made him sick.

The dinner continued in an atmosphere where he couldn't eat, and Lu Yuyan didn't even notice that Qin Zhi had made his favorite potato stew. If it wasn't for Qin Zhi's frequent pickling of vegetables, he wouldn't even be able to eat a piece of meat.

Mr. Qin felt helpless when he saw that there was more than half a casserole of meat left.He also read the medicated diet and added a lot of medicinal materials to nourish qi and blood, such as Codonopsis ginseng and red dates.Slowly simmering for almost a day, the aroma of the medicine and the broth blended with a warm and soft aroma, and the beef was stewed until soft. It was a pity that the little fish had a poor appetite and couldn't eat more.

Lu Yuyan couldn't draw the design at all right now, so he had to open the document first.

The cat king and the little koi are walking to the towering mountain, where Grandpa Crane lives.But Grandpa Xianhe didn't have a good memory, so he only memorized them, but forgot to memorize them.The cranes went to a meeting together, and the cat and the koi were trapped on the mountain.

The two tired and hungry partners had an unavoidable dispute. The little koi complained that it should not have come up with Grandpa Crane in the first place. It was all cats who insisted on coming. It is so high and so cold here, only the two of them , I don’t know when I will be able to go down.

The cat king was very sad, the companionship along the way could not exchange the trust of the little koi, and when it came to a difficult time, it did not believe that it could solve it by itself.

Lu Yuyan looked at Cat King's last words: "Could it be that we've known each other for so long, and you haven't believed me even once?"

After the cursor stopped at such a heartbreaking question, Lu Yuyan's fingertips paused on the backspace key.

His thoughts were messed up, and the cat king's sadness seemed to materialize, stagnating the space around him.

The door was knocked lightly three times. Although he never closed it, when he was creating, Mr. Qin would politely remind him of his arrival every time.

Lu Yuyan lowered his hands and turned to look at him.Qin Zhi washed the fruit for him as usual, and after putting down the glass bowl, he casually scanned the text on his screen.Because that sentence was too sad, Mr. Qin couldn't help but look at it twice, and he knew the plot by connecting the context.

He knew that Lu Yuyan was being tormented and disturbed, but he just bent down and embraced him.

"The little koi did not distrust the cat king. It is an animal that cannot live without water, but it acquiesced in the behavior of the cat king to take it out with a big lotus leaf from the very beginning. It is so easy for it to be a matter of life. I gave it to the cat king, who actually trusts the cat king."

Lu Yuyan was stunned, and looked up from his arms to look at him.

Qin Zhi lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the forehead, with a gentle smile: "You too, my little fish. Don't be afraid, I'm by your side and I won't leave you."
