Chapter 121 "Why are you here? You're sweating all over. Did you run here?"
In the gentle morning light, the hustle and bustle of the city has not yet fully awakened. In a quiet villa hidden behind the prosperity, an unexpected heartwarming drama is being staged.
The sunlight shines through the gauze curtains, dappling onto a carved wooden chair, illuminating the lazy and elegant silhouette of a man.
He, Lin Yi, was wearing simple yet tasteful home clothes, holding silver cutlery lightly in his hands, occasionally lowering his head to taste the exquisite breakfast on the plate, but his eyes inadvertently revealed a bit of loneliness and expectation.
Deep in Lin Yi's heart, there is an unknown secret - he has endless dependence on and longing for his partner, Lu Chen, who is always busy with his career but always gives him endless sense of security at critical moments.
Today, he just wanted to take advantage of the soft morning light to act coquettishly towards Lu Chen, longing for more companionship and care.
However, fate always seems to like to weave surprises when people least expect it.
"Master, there are guests visiting." The butler's voice sounded at the right time, breaking the silence in the room and disturbing Lin Yi's thoughts.
He was slightly stunned, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself that these were probably those friends who he hadn't contacted for a long time, coming to chat with him again.
But when he slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to greet this unexpected visitor, an inexplicable premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
As he pushed open the door, time seemed to freeze. Standing outside the door wasn't his friends, but Lu Chen, the man he'd been thinking about day and night.
In the morning light, Lu Chen was dressed casually, with beads of sweat on his forehead sparkling in the sunlight. He looked both embarrassed and full of desperate determination.
Lin Yi's heart trembled suddenly, and all his defenses and disguises collapsed in an instant, leaving only surprise and confusion in his heart.
"Why are you here? You're sweating. Did you run here?" Lin Yi walked quickly forward and almost instinctively grabbed Lu Chen's hand, leading him into the house, fearing that this sudden happiness would be fleeting.
The cool breeze from the air conditioner blew gently, taking away the heat from the two of them, and seemed to blow away the occasional sense of distance between them.
Lu Chen stood in the house, looking around at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, a hint of tenderness and relief flashed in his eyes.
He chuckled, his voice a little tired but firm: "Yes, I ran here. I was worried about you. You didn't answer the call last night, and you didn't reply to the message, so I..." He stopped talking here, as if he didn't want Lin Yi to see that he cared too much.
When Lin Yi heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart, but he also felt a little guilty.
He looked at Lu Chen carefully, and confirmed that he was fine except for being a little tired, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay." This sentence was both a comfort to Lu Chen and a comfort to herself.
However, when Lu Chen said, "I'm glad you're okay. I'll go back first," Lin Yi's mood instantly became complicated.
He looked at the man in front of him who was willing to do anything for him, and his eyes couldn't help but feel hot.
He realized that his slight willfulness may have caused Lu Chen to suffer too much unnecessary worry and trouble.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yi reached out and grabbed Lu Chen's sleeve, his tone firm and unyielding, "Since you're here, stay. Let's have breakfast together, and then... you can have a good rest."
Lu Chen's gaze lingered on Lin Yi's face for a moment, and finally turned into a gentle smile.
He did not refuse, but just nodded slightly, as if at this moment, all his fatigue and worries disappeared.
The two of them sat at the dining table, enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
Lin Yi would pick up food for Lu Chen from time to time and ask about his work. Although they were all trivial daily matters, every sentence was full of care and love.
Lu Chen, for once, let go of his usual guard and busyness, sharing his joys and sorrows with Lin Yi, as if they were the only two people left in the world.
As breakfast ended, the sun became brighter.
Lin Yi took Lu Chen's hand and walked into the garden in the backyard of the villa.
There, flowers of all colors compete with each other in beauty, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.
They sat side by side in a rocking chair, letting the breeze blow on them and enjoying this rare tranquility and harmony.
"You know what? I've never felt so at ease as I do now." Lin Yi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence around him.
He turned to look at Lu Chen, his eyes flashing with unprecedented seriousness and affection, "Thank you for always supporting me and caring about me unconditionally. From now on, it's my turn to take care of you, okay?"
When Lu Chen heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He gently grasped Lin Yi's hand, clasping theirs tightly. "Silly boy, there's no need to thank me between us. Your happiness is everything to me."
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Two hearts are tightly connected in the morning light and the fragrance of flowers, and all misunderstandings and barriers disappear.
They know that no matter how many storms the future holds, as long as they rely on each other, they will be able to withstand everything.
As the sun sets, the sky is dyed with a gorgeous sunset glow.
Lin Yi and Lu Chen stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the prosperity and tranquility of the city.
In their eyes, there is not only deep affection for each other, but also infinite longing for the future.
In this world full of love, they believe that as long as their hearts and hands are connected, they can
"Let's create more beautiful memories together." Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lu Chen looked at him, his eyes full of tenderness, "Yes, I will."
As night fell and the sky was dotted with stars, Lin Yi and Lu Chen clung to each other and fell asleep in a blissful dream.
In the dream, they traveled through many landscapes together, experienced many adventures, and their love shone eternally like the stars.
