Arc 2: Chapter 17
Lin Yuan went downstairs and bought apples and strawberries. When he got back, he found that Fu Cheng wasn’t in the room, and sat down to wait. He waited for a while, but he still didn’t see a corner of the other’s shadow.
“521, why is Fu Cheng taking so long in the bathroom?”
521 now held a grudge against Fu Cheng: “How would 521 know? Isn’t it just the bathroom, the person won’t disappear.”
521 used his small wings to attack the apples that Fu Cheng wanted to eat: “I hit you! I hit you to death!”
Lin Yuan: “......”
521 punched for a minute until his anger dissipated: “Senior, Fu Cheng is too much! You already cheated and he still isn't satisfied. Does he even want to be your second husband?”
Lin Yuan was a little shy and reached out to smooth out 521’s fur: “Ok, don’t be angry anymore. Fu Cheng is actually pretty good. In the future, the villains might be even more abnormal.”
521 was fooled and asked nervously: “Really? Senior, will the villains be more terrible?”
Lin Yuan reddened and lied: “......Probably.”
521, who was still fooled: “Then…It seems that Fu Cheng is okay la~”
Lin Yuan quickly nodded in agreement and looked towards the direction of the bathroom: “Why hasn’t he come back yet?”
521 immediately jumped up: “Senior~ 521 will help you go take a look.”
It flapped its small wings and flew into the bathroom. Then it quickly hurried back, trembling along the way: “Senior, there’s no one in the bathroom! Fu Cheng disappeared! What if he was eaten by ghosts?”
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that in horror movies, there were always many, many ghosts in the hospital, only a little lacking compared to the cemetery.
Wuuu~
Lin Yuan shook and hugged the system tightly: “5…521, quickly find Fu Cheng’s location and see… where he is.”
521 thought about how the task would immediately fail if the mission target was eaten by a ghost, and didn’t hesitate to use its positioning function.
A flashing red dot appeared on the system screen and 521 shouted excitedly: “Senior, look! Your second husband wasn’t eaten by ghosts, he’s still alive!”
Lin Yuan relievedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: “I'll go find him right now.”
Following the system screen, Lin Yuan soon found Fu Cheng on the 10th floor of the inpatient department.
Lin Yuan saw Fu Cheng’s figure through the glass window and unconsciously smiled. The door wasn’t completely shut, and Lin Yuan was ready to open the door when a woman’s voice sounded.
“The college entrance exam is two months away. Don’t keep on skipping class and fighting. With your grades, it’s not difficult to grasp the key points on the exam. Although the college entrance exam can’t determine a person’s life, if you score well, then in the future, your circle of friends will be different from normal people. If you enter a good university, the rest of your life will be set.”
The women’s words were serious and thoughtful, as if she was very considerate of Fu Cheng.
But Lin Yuan was unhappy when he listened to her. He didn’t have time to react before the cold voice of the teenager sounded lowly.
“No one cares about me, isn’t it normal to skip class and fight? If I was like your dear son, having parents to coax him, then how could I skip class and fight?”
The woman seemed to get irritated by Fu Cheng’s words and started to lecture him: “Fu Cheng, what is this attitude you have while talking to me? I’m your mother, show me more respect. In addition, don’t assume that I don’t know what you’re scheming. You’re already so big, is it interesting to act like this?”
“It’s been almost ten years since your dad and I divorced. Now I have my own family to take care of and I’m also busy with work so I don’t have time to look after you. Fu Cheng, you’re already 18 years old, you’re an adult, and you should think about your future. Don’t act like a child, thinking you can attract the attention of me and your father by fighting and skipping classes. I’m already tired of it.”
Lin Yuan became even more angry, what kind of mother was this?
Fu Cheng gently sneered and calmly looked into the woman’s eyes that were three points similar to his own. There was nothing left in his eyes: “You’re right. I skip class, I fight, I smoke and drink all to get your attention.”
“Mom, you and dad are too important to me. So don’t even think about abandoning me and being happy on your own. Why do you get to start over with a happy family, but I am alone? How dare you? Mom, tell me whyー”
The teenager’s voice suddenly stopped and a crisp “pa” sound rang out.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but push open the door angrily. Neither the woman nor Fu Cheng expected anyone to enter the room, and both of them were stunned.
Fu Cheng looked at Lin Yuan and asked with doubts: “How did you find this place?”
When the woman saw that Fu Cheng knew the young man, she let out a breath of relief. Seeing that Lin Yuan was wearing the school uniform of No.1 High School, she guessed: “Fu Cheng, is he your classmate?”
Fu Cheng was about to speak when Lin Yuan walked over and stood in front of him in an obvious protective posture.
“I’m… I’m not Fu Cheng’s classmate. Later, I’ll be his wife.” Lin Yuan looked at the woman in front of him, who had a similar appearance to Fu Cheng. She was a very beautiful woman.
The woman’s face stiffened and she said coldly: “Fu Cheng! I haven’t looked after you for that long and you go and do this.”
Lin Yuan glared at the woman and argued angrily: “How long haven’t you cared for him? Fu Cheng hasn’t skipped class or fought ever since senior year. He was the first in the city in multiple joint exams and last time he almost got full marks.”
The woman didn’t expect that the situation was like this, and an awkward look appeared on her face. Before she could say anything, Lin Yuan poured out everything he wanted to say.
“You just said that there are only two more months before the college entrance exam, but it seems like you haven’t put this into your heart at all. The other moms and dads in our school are busy calling the head teacher every month or even every week.”
Lin Yuan asked aggressively: “But what about you? After he started his senior year, have you ever called the head teacher to ask about how Fu Cheng was doing? Even if you have a new lover, a new child, and a new family, you are still Fu Cheng’s mother and the person who brought him into the world. You aren’t even willing to make a phone call for Fu Cheng, what gives you the right to hit him?”
The woman didn’t expect to be questioned like this by an outsider. She felt that she was losing her face and immediately said: “Classmate, you’re not me, and you don’t know about my difficulties. I’ve long divorced Fu Cheng’s father, and I can’t abandon my current family for Fu Cheng. Fu Cheng isn’t young anymore, I give him 5,000 yuan a month for his living expenses to ensure that he can live worry-free. It’s already good enough that I’m doing this.” t/n 'face' is a direct translation, and means the person's reputation
“Really?” Lin Yuan sneered and took out his phone from his pocket: “Auntie, you feel that giving Fu Cheng 5,000 yuan a month gives you the right to slap him, then how about this, I give you one million, and you let me slap you twice?”
The woman had never encountered something like this and was stunned in place.
Fu Cheng blankly looked at the teenager in front of him. His heart beat wildly and the sound was so deafening that he seemed to be able to hear it.
The sound of his heart, the sound of life.
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has dropped to 40%.】
Fu Cheng couldn’t help but call out his name: “Lin Yuan……”
Lin Yuan looked back at him and blinked.
Fu Cheng didn't want to see his mother anymore. There was no more meaning, and so many years had passed since she had left: “My drip is almost empty, let’s go back.”
Lin Yuan wasn’t actually going to hit Fu Cheng’s mother, he just said those words to vent out Fu Cheng’s anger. He complied with Fu Cheng: “Ok, let’s go back.”
Back at the infusion room, Lin Yuan quickly found a nurse to help replace the drip.
After, Lin Yuan pinched Fu Cheng’s chin and looked into the other’s eyes and asked: “You lied to me about buying you apples?”
Fu Cheng obediently nodded and admitted: “I wanted to see her, but it turned out as expected. In their eyes, I’m a nuisance.”
The teenager approached Lin Yuan and rested his forehead against Lin Yuan’s shoulder. His voice was empty and at a loss: “Actually, I never understood and wanted to ask them, if they didn’t want to take care of me as I grew up, then why did they bring me into this world?”
Lin Yuan stroked his hair: “Maybe, at the time when they brought you into the world, they wanted to take care of you until you grew up, but……”
“But they changed their minds later.” Fu Cheng finished for Lin Yuan.
After the infusion finished, they went back to Fu Cheng’s residence. Since they couldn’t go back to school, Lin Yuan simply stayed beside Fu Cheng, who was in bed.
Luckily, the teenager had a strong body, and he was fine after sleeping. The next day, they went to school as usual and their lives continued as usual.
Fu Cheng’s score was still far ahead of everyone else's for the second mock exam, and Lin Yuan was also making progress. In May, Fu Cheng let him stop attending school and tutored him one on one.
In this time, they interacted with each other the same as before, as if the two days of intimacy were a dream. But 521 clearly saw that every night, after the Senior fell asleep, Fu Cheng would secretly kiss the Senior for a long time.
One day, at the end of May, Lin Yuan was brushing his teeth in the morning and felt that his lips and tongue hurt.
521 couldn’t hold back anymore and said: “Senior, actually, every night after you fall asleep, your second husband secretly kisses you and touches you.”
Lin Yuan almost choked on the toothpaste in his mouth and blushed: “He…he secretly kissed me?”
521 nodded: “If you don’t believe it, pretend to be asleep at night and you will definitely see how your goods are stolen.”
Lin Yuan also wanted to find out if Fu Cheng was secretly kissing him, and at night, he pretended to fall asleep.
Fu Cheng would never expect that the simple Lin Yuan could play such a trick. When the other was breathing evenly, he tentatively stretched out his hand and touched Lin Yuan’s hand. Seeing that there was no response, he immediately leaned over Lin Yuan and skillfully kissed the other.
Carefully licking and biting, Fu Cheng squeezed into the space between the other’s lips and licked Lin Yuan’s teeth.
But he didn’t pry open his mouth or go deeper, he just tasted the other like this. When he had kissed enough, he withdrew and went to kiss and bite Lin Yuan’s dimples.
Lin Yuan, who was still pretending to be asleep, was stunned for a moment.
…How can the movements be the same as Huo Chen’s?
