Chapter 65 My Young Master, Time's Up
Ji Xingyi's appearance matched all of Chen Jiangqiao's perceptions of beauty, and he was immediately attracted to her.
Ke Jixing's affection for Jiang Lin was the culmination of countless days and nights, an unconscious possessiveness. More than physical desire, the fear of losing Jiang Lin was the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.
Ji Xingyi even added a "if" before the word "like".
So timid that she doesn't even dare to confess her feelings.
But it was this confession, which wasn't really a confession, that deeply touched Jiang Lin's heartstrings.
A faint purple light flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes. This eerie light spread throughout the entire instance world in 0.5 seconds like an invisible wave, seemingly secretly announcing his inner joy to the world.
It would be even better if the man cried in front of him. Jiang Lin couldn't help but reach out and stroke the back of Ji Xingyi's neck.
Skilled hunters enjoy disguising themselves as prey, finding more enjoyment in the process of catching their prey than in the outcome.
Jiang Lin grabbed the man's chin, forcing Ji Xingyi to look up and meet his gaze: "Didn't you say you would always believe in me?"
Ji Xingyi's body stiffened, followed by a soul-crushing tremor. So, what did that mean? His Linlin wouldn't abandon him?
His already red eyes turned even redder. He wanted to say something, but he was too clumsy to utter a single word. He wanted to slap himself a few times.
"Jiang Lin!" Ding Xuehui returned carrying a carefully selected bouquet of blue roses, but couldn't find the young man. She called out anxiously, "Jiang Lin?"
"Jiang Lin? Where are you?"
Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin were hiding in a patch of blue roses, and the lighting was dim, so Ding Xuehui did not notice that she was only fifteen meters away from them.
It's her again!
Just as Ji Xingyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, his chin was suddenly forcibly pulled down by the young man's hand.
When their lips touched, Ji Xing was completely stunned.
"Jiang Lin?" the girl called out anxiously.
Jiang Lin ignored him. His young master was frighteningly innocent; he couldn't even accept a kiss. He turned his head and continued to exert force, forcing the stunned man to open his mouth.
"Isn't it obvious enough who I like?"
Which adult man would want to be held and slept in another man's arms every day?
Isn't this the simplest of truths?
As Ding Xuehui's footsteps faded into the distance, Ji Xingyi looked up and gasped for breath. He touched Jiang Lin's face, which was so dreamlike that he couldn't believe it. He lowered his head to kiss her again, but Jiang Lin stopped him with her finger.
Jiang Lin lay breathtakingly beautiful amidst the roses: "My young master, it's time."
When Ding Xuehui returned to the library, she only saw Mo Xizheng, who was still unconscious, and Song He, who had been thrown into the corner. Her anger surged, and she threw the blue rose she had carefully picked at her feet.
"Xuehui, what are you doing?"
Just as Ding Xuehui was about to crush the blue rose, she heard Jiang Lin's voice behind her. She quickly and happily picked up the rose again, her voice aggrieved, "I thought you left without waiting for me."
"I just saw a figure upstairs and wanted to see who it was, so I left for a while." Jiang Lin chuckled, unaware that the young man's lips were much more vibrant than when she left.
"Did you find it?" Ding Xuehui asked curiously.
"No, maybe I'm seeing things." Jiang Lin lied very calmly. "Alright, it's late, let's rest first. Tomorrow is the last day, we must find the mission items before we can leave."
Ding Xuehui quickly stuffed the bouquet into the young man's arms and said shyly, "This is for you."
Jiang Lin looked down at the delicate blue rose petals and gave a meaningful smile: "Thank you, I like it very much."
There are only 24 hours left before the evacuation point is reached.
It is 8 a.m. UTC.
Mo Xizheng finally woke up after lying in bed all night. After medication, she felt much better. Her first thought upon waking was still Liang Yuan, but when she only saw Jiang Lin and Ding Xuehui, her hopes were dashed once again, leaving her feeling incredibly bitter.
Jiang Lin handed the medicine bottle to Mo Xizheng. They didn't dare to drink the water in the inner world either. Fortunately, people in the inner world don't feel hunger, so it doesn't affect their movement.
"I want to find Liang Yuan." Mo Xizheng slowly stood up. Although he couldn't run, he could walk. He had a terrifying premonition that if he didn't find Liang Yuan soon, he might never see him again in his life.
Jiang Lin looked at Mo Xizheng, whose eyes were resolute, and asked after a moment of silence, "Perhaps it would be better if the memory stopped at this moment."
“No,” Mo Xizheng shook her head, dragging her badly injured body out: “You’ve ever loved someone, loved them to the point of death without fear?”
Ding Xuehui instinctively looked at Jiang Lin, who followed Mo Xizheng and helped the man up.
"Do you want to hear our story?" Mo Xizheng didn't wait for Jiang Lin's answer and began to speak, as if only in this way could he vent his inner anxiety:
“As you know, Liang Yuan and I are both actors. He was in my first drama. At that time, we didn’t have many scenes together, and we weren’t even friends. Two years later, I filmed my first leading role in a TV series, and by chance, he played the second male lead.”
“He originally liked women, but I liked him first and pursued him, and in a very clumsy way.”
Milk tea and flowers are incredibly cliché, but Liang Yuan just happens to love it.
Jiang Lin: "And then he agreed?"
Mo Xizheng nodded, reminiscing about his youth, and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, is there anyone this movie star can't win over?"
Both were in the prime of their careers. Although homosexuality is not uncommon in modern society, it is still not accepted by the general public for actors.
They each have their own fan base, with women making up the vast majority. Going public means retiring from the entertainment industry; they're like rats in the city's underground pipes, avoiding the spotlight.
Even in darkness, in the gutter, they found it sweet.
"To like someone is to want to be with them for a lifetime." Mo Xizheng took a deep breath to calm the tears welling up in her eyes.
"I heard that Liang Yuan got sick later, and then you broke up?" As Mo Xizheng's assistant, Jiang Lin only received some trivial information from the system.
“Yes. He left a letter breaking up with me and then went abroad. I didn’t agree to it!” Mo Xizheng said angrily, “I couldn’t find him for four whole years! Damn it, he can really hide!”
He thought that since he had become a movie star, Liang Yuan should send him a congratulatory message out of consideration for their past relationship, after all, those childhood days were so sweet. Who knew that guy would really not give him any face.
Fortunately, I met Liang Yuan here.
"Jiang Lin, I really can't bear to lose Liang Yuan again." Mo Xizheng bit her lips until they turned white.
If we're going to lose each other eventually, it's better not to meet again.
Now that they've reunited, why should he have to endure the pain of loss again?
