Chapter 24

Lin Leyang dryed his hair and changed his clothes. When he came out of the cloakroom, Li Chuan was sitting on his bed and looking at the photos of his childhood placed beside the desk. He was the only one in the photo. He was wearing a light pink sweater and holding his face in his hands and smiling happily.

This should have been taken by him at the age of five or six. The photos have been around for a while, but the frames used to hold photos are brand new, and the old photos in the new photo frame always seem out of place.

Lin Leyang changed into loose short-sleeved and casual pants. Even if he was in a bad mood, he curled his hair well. The slightly long hair was slid backwards and stopped on the side of his cheek to block his vision.

Li Chuan stood up and walked towards him. Lin Leyang suddenly felt nervous. Fortunately, the boy didn't move any things and just said, "Where are you going now?"

Li Chuan's voice was low and nice, with a very easy-to-know gentleness in his voice. I wonder if it was the same when he was with others... Lin Leyang knew that he was thinking about things he shouldn't have thought about, so he pursed his lips and swept it out the door, "As long as you don't stay at home, you can do anything."

He was a little willful, but Li Chuan responded without a doubt and said, "Okay, then just take a walk."

Aunt Chang asked if the two of them were not having dinner at home. Lin Leyang felt even more anxious when she saw her embarrassed expression.

He knew that he could not go out easily, and they were not at ease, but what were they worried about? He was just afraid that he would die again...

"I've told my sister that I'm going out today."

Lin Leyang didn't look at anyone, for fear that others would see that he was in a bad mood. No one provoked him, and he didn't want to show anyone for no reason, but he couldn't control it.

He did report to Lin Ruolu before taking a shower, but Lin Ruolu has never replied to his news.

"That's good, then tonight..." Aunt Chang looked at the two of them, and her tone of inquiry was even more directed towards Li Chuan.

Li Chuan reached out and touched Lin Leyang's finger gently. Lin Leyang then raised his head and smiled, "I may not be back when I will be back. Aunt Chang, you should rest."

Aunt Chang nodded, still looking at Li Chuan.

Lin Leyang was a little depressed. Li Chuan, who now seems to be much smaller than him, is not reliable...

But this is also true.

Lin Leyang also felt that he was quite unreliable. He was just a dream without beginning or end, which could actually make his mood fall to the bottom.

Li Chuan and Aunt Chang said a few words, just to make her not have to worry, and finally promised: "I will take good care of Brother Leyang."

Lin Leyang sighed long behind the two of them. Li Chuan didn't even look back and directly reached out to rub his head.

Lin Leyang was confused for a moment, and Li Chuan turned around and said to him naturally: "Let's go."

Lin Leyang doesn't know what to say anymore.

Lin Leyang did not take the initiative to speak in the taxi, and the atmosphere in the car was always depressing.

The car entered the tunnel, and two orange rows of lights hit the road. The wind blew violently down the half-open window. While dispelling the heat, Lin Leyang was covered in his face with his hair. He started to fiddle for a few times, but later he found that it was useless, so he simply ignored it. Until the car drove out of the tunnel, he was about to reach out and tie his hair up and was snatched by Li Chuan next to him.

Lin Leyang had just taken a shower, and the smell of shampoo was particularly obvious at this moment. Li Chuan's fingertips were filled with the fragrance, and he was walking along his hair one by one.

"It's coming soon." Li Chuan said to break the silence, "Go to have a meal first after getting off the car?"

Lin Leyang lowered his head and looked at his phone. The screen did not light up, "Everything is OK."

"Are you hungry?" Li Chuan asked him.

"It's okay." Lin Leyang illuminated the screen and looked at the time displayed on it.

Li Chuan said: "I didn't have lunch."

Now Lin Leyang was finally willing to turn his head to him, his voice slightly raised, "It's past six o'clock, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Um."

"Then go to have a meal." Lin Leyang said immediately.

Li Chuan said calmly: "You are not particularly hungry either. If you want to take a walk first..."

"I have nothing to do in, I just want to come out and breathe." Lin Leyang interrupted him, "Go to have a meal, you didn't eat at noon."

Li Chuan curled his lips, "Brother cares about me so much."

Lin Leyang: “…”

"I'm very touched." Li Chuan didn't look moved at all when he said these four words, and his eyes were directed on Lin Leyang.

Lin Leyang looked away, looked at the back of the chair in front of him, and said dryly: "Don't be moved, it should be..."

Li Chuan said: "Are you still thinking about that dream?"

Lin Leyang was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "No, I've almost forgotten it." But his heart was still pressing down, and he couldn't breathe.

Li Chuan's hand suddenly fell on his hand, Lin Leyang was shocked, and the young man held him slightly, his strength was very loose, and he could easily break away, but it was because of this ease that made him hesitate.

If I do this, wouldn’t it be good? Lin Leyang had already missed the best opportunity to break free from the other party during hesitation.

"Then don't be so depressed. I finally came out." Li Chuan said, turning his head and getting closer, "We haven't seen each other in several days."

Lin Leyang moved his finger slightly, but Li Chuan thought he was still in a state of trouble and grabbed his finger to show comfort.

Lin Leyang: “…”

Is it intentional or was it intentional? He couldn't tell at all.

Li Chuan's smile was just right, and the bruise between his eyebrows was completely invisible. He looked more energetic than before, and he was so sexy that he was talking seriously... He was so calm and restrained that he didn't look like he was nineteen years old, but his eyes were bright when he looked at Lin Leyang, with the vitality of a young man. No matter what Lin Leyang said, he would smile back.

Lin Leyang's hand moved again, but this time he didn't mean to pull it away. He just curled his fingers into his palm. Instead, Li Chuan took the initiative to let go and asked him, "Are you happier?"

Lin Leyang realized that he was doing this to distract himself. His expression went from being stunned to being sudden, and finally he smiled, "I really didn't think about it anymore. Let's think about what to eat next!"

He regained his energy again.

Lin Ruolu called Lin Ruolu halfway through the meal.

Lin Leyang was nervous at the phone, and after several seconds of psychological construction, Li Chuan said, "Do you want me to pick it up?"

Lin Leyang had already picked up his cell phone and shook his head, "How can it be? This is my sister."

Li Chuan put the peeled shrimp tails into Lin Leyang's plate, "That's right."

Lin Leyang quickly remedyed, "I don't mean that."

"What do you think I mean?" Li Chuan raised his eyes and said without any comment. "I don't mean anything. Take it quickly, otherwise she might kill me directly."

Lin Leyang pressed the call button, and Lin Ruolu's first sentence was indeed: "Where are you?"

The suffocation feeling surged again. Lin Leyang was afraid that they would stare at him like this, as if he would make mistakes at all times.

“…I’m having dinner with Li Chuan.”

Lin Ruolu was silent for two seconds, "Do you go home after dinner?"

"No...I want to stay outside for a while, or," Lin Leyang glanced at Li Chuan opposite him, "I don't want to go back today."

Li Chuan naturally heard this and still calmly peeled the shrimps into Lin Leyang's plate.

Lin Leyang moved the phone a little apart, stopped Li Chuan and said, "Don't give it to me, I can't eat it."

At the same time, Lin Ruoliu asked him on the other end of the phone: "Where do you live if you don't come back?"

Lin Leyang had to put his phone back in his ear again. Just as he was about to speak, Li Chuan suddenly said: "He can live with me."

Lin Leyang was slightly stunned. In fact, he just said casually and didn't think about where he could go. Maybe he would go back in a while.

Li Chuan's words made him moved.

It's good wherever he goes, he really doesn't want to go back.

Lin Ruoliu obviously disagreed and said in a tone similar to that of a parent: "Will you cause trouble for people to live in someone's house?"

"No trouble." Li Chuan had a very good ear, so he stood up and bent down to Lin Leyang's ear, "I'm very welcome to see Brother Leyang."

Lin Ruolu: “…”

Lin Leyang looked at Li Chuan who suddenly approached, and Li Chuan suddenly blinked at him, looking rare and playful.

Lin Leyang couldn't help laughing, knowing that he was talking to Lin Ruoluo on purpose.

"I may not necessarily live outside, but sister, I need some space for myself and don't want to stay at home all the time." Lin Leyang explained to the other side again, "I often went out when I was eighteen years old and stayed at my friend's house."

Lin Ruolu had no choice but to give in, "Okay, be careful. Remember to call me if you have anything, it's better to go home at night."

"Yeah, yeah, okay." Lin Leyang agreed to hang up the phone. Just as he was about to breathe out, Li Chuan suddenly said, "Brother."

"Hmm?" Lin Leyang raised his head.

"Which friend's house did you often go to live in?"

Lin Leyang blinked blankly, "Wu Xu..." In fact, he rarely stayed at his friend's house. He said that just now just so that both parties could take a step back.

Li Chuan pulled the corner of his mouth, "Oh."

Lin Leyang asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Li Chuan showed his smile again, "My brother can come to my house often in the future."

Lin Leyang suddenly felt uncomfortable and it was the first time Li Chuan had his emotions so obviously on his face.

"Don't pick up food for me, I can't eat it at all." Lin Leyang said again.

Li Chuan reached out and grabbed his wrist, "You should eat more if you are too thin."

Lin Leyang knew that the other party had good intentions, but he could only say helplessly: "I also want to eat more, but I can't stand the stomach and intestines and vomit."

Li Chuan took off his plastic gloves, put his hands on his legs and clenched it into a fist, looking at him, "Is it that serious?"
