CH 85
Chapter 85: Mistake
After a few rounds of story telling, Lu Zheng called for a pause, “It’s too late, let’s go back and rest.”
Everyone except him wished to continue, and they were a little reluctant to leave, “How about we go sing karaoke?”
Lu Zheng wasn’t in the mood and neither was Chang Qing, along with Lu Hua. After everyone else went to the ktv to play the three of them stepped outside and walked back.
When Lu Hua was outside, she opened her mouth and asked, “Why are you holding hands?”
Chang Qing: “…”
He couldn’t explain it.
Lu Zheng said: “His hands are cold, so I’m warming him up.”
Lu Hua: “Oh, I see.” Then she said to Chang Qing with concern, “You should at least wear gloves! Sister Hong can knit gloves, how about I have her knit a pair for you?”
Sister Hong was Shang Shu’s wife.
She believed it, she actually believed it! Chang Qing was speechless for a while, and then said: “No, I don’t need gloves.”
The foundation of this body was probably not very good, so other than not getting sick very much, he also suffered from chills. In winter, he doesn’t get very warm. When autumn had first come he had already put on a thick sweater, never mind the freezing cold of this winter. He was layered in five layers of clothes and his whole body was a little bloated. And the feel of his hands was still warm and cool.
It was no use wearing gloves, but after being held by Lu Zheng for a while, it got a little hot.
Chang Qing realized what he was thinking, and his face warmed up for a moment.
The three of them entered the door one after the other. Chang Qing slowed down again, and waited for Lu Zheng to come from behind him to walk beside him. Then he said in a low voice, “Let’s talk.”
Lu Zheng glanced at him, but didn’t answer.
Chang Qing said, “I’ll go to your study at eight o’clock.”
Lu Zheng gave an “en.”
Back in his bedroom, Chang Qing looked at himself in the mirror. His hair hadn’t been cut for a month, and it had grown out a lot. He picked up some scissors and trimmed it himself, revealing his eyebrows and eyes which had been covered up by the messy hair on his forehead. He also reapplied his lip balm. In winter, his lips had inevitably peeled and they looked unsightly.
He didn’t realize that he was looking at himself in the mirror and putting on lip balm because he wanted to show a better version of himself in front of Lu Zheng.
He felt better after applying the lip balm. He wouldn’t let his cracked lips draw too much attention when he was talking to Lu Zheng.
After finishing all this, Chang Qing cleaned up the cut hair and swept it into the trash can. After checking the time, he went to Lu Zheng’s study.
Lu Zheng opened the door, and Chang Qing entered. He watched Lu Zheng close the door and lock it again, and he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.
After a while, the two sat face to face on the sofa.
Chang Qing didn’t look at him. He just looked down at the spiral pattern on the carpet, and said softly, “How did you suddenly change so fast? Last time you said you didn’t want to see me, and now…it’s like this again.”
“Like what?” Lu Zheng asked him.
Chang Qing raised his eyes and glanced at him, “What did you say?”
Lu Zheng looked at him innocently, “How do I know what you’re talking about.”
Chang Qing endured it, and said, “Now you can’t wait to put on Pinru’s clothes1 and thinking about taking Pinru’s wardrobe.”
Lu Zheng: “…”
Although Lu Zheng was about the same age as him, he really didn’t understand memes on the Internet. After hearing what he said, he couldn’t help but frown and ask, “What are you talking about?”
Chang Qing suddenly laughed when he saw his expression, and his mood relaxed a little, “I mean, you’ve become very flirtatious now. You’re very different from before.”
Lu Zheng saw him laughing, and his obsidian eyes also showed a little smile, “You can think whatever you want.”
“So… why? Don’t you feel sorry for him?” Chang Qing asked earnestly.
The smile in Lu Zheng’s eyes faded and gradually melted away, and he became a little more serene and calm. He said lightly: “I’m very sorry for him. I also thought that I couldn’t have this kind of thought before, but how can I suppress this kind of thought? I miss you every day.”
Chang Qing’s face warmed up, and under Lu Zheng’s intent gaze, he looked away and looked elsewhere.
Lu Zheng didn’t care, he continued in his pleasant voice, “It’s strange. I didn’t care about you that much before. But one day I suddenly felt that you were quite good. Once I had this thought, I couldn’t help but look at you. The more I looked at you, the more I felt that you were good in every way except for being too nice to people.”
Chang Qing didn’t look at him, but couldn’t help retorting: “I’m not a people pleaser, am I?”
Lu Zheng frowned and asked, “You still deny it? Don’t you do whatever Lu Hua asks you to do?”
Chang Qing sighed and said, “That’s just for Lu Hua. Also, I’m too lazy to get angry. Getting angry won’t change anything. It’ll only make me feel uncomfortable.”
Lu Zheng said, “What about me? Can’t you try to get along with me?”
Chang Qing couldn’t help but turn his head to look at him at this time, and saw that his expression was serious, with a faint, dazzling brilliance in his long and narrow eyes.
Chang Qing’s voice couldn’t help but become hoarse, “How else can I treat you well? I’m not yours.”
Lu Zheng said softly, “I want to be yours.”
Chang Qing didn’t speak.
Lu Zheng said: “There are so many crazy bees and butterflies around you but none of them are better than me.”
Chang Qing argued: “I’m not surrounded by wild bees and butterflies.”
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: “Even if there isn’t anyone now, there will be in the future.”
Chang Qing said nothing.
Lu Zheng said: “If my brother is watching from heaven, he would feel better about leaving you with me than with an outsider.”
Chang Qing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him and said with some amusement, “How aren’t you blushing when you say this?”
It was Lu Zheng’s turn to be silent.
Chang Qing noticed that his fingers had been rubbing the rim of the cup, and his fingertips were turning blue.
The atmosphere was slightly condensed into silence. After a while, Lu Zheng broke the silence and said, “That’s why I want to try. I want to see if I can make you like me.”
Chang Qing paused, “Why do you want to try this?”
Lu Zheng’s voice was unhurried, with a bit of low-pitched sweetness, he said: “It depends on your wishes. I will bless you if you like anyone in the future but if you like me …… then I can’t help it.”
Lu Zheng looked into Chang Qing’s eyes and his lips curled up into a cocky arc. His long, narrow, and sharp eyes became sharper and more exquisite, “My brother loves me so much, I’m sure he’ll be relieved to entrust you to me.”
Chang Qing: “…”
Lu Zheng went from one dead end to another dead end.
Chang Qing didn’t know what to say for a while, after thinking about it, he said: “Isn’t it too early to say that?”
Lu Zheng said: “It’s not too early, and if it’s any later, would you run away with that surname Lin? “
Chang Qing: “Huh?”
Lu Zheng pulled a paper bag out from somewhere and put it in front of him. Chang Qing picked it up and took a look, and found that it was full of pictures of him.
Chang Qing looked up at Lu Zheng speechless, but unexpectedly he couldn’t feel any anger in his heart. He asked him quite calmly, “Are you still spying on me?”
Lu Zheng said self-righteously, “I care about you.”
Chang Qing said: “That’s not how concern works, you’re wildly violating my ** rights.2“
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and insisted: “I just care about you…. That Lin Yifeng also likes men, you know. “
Chang Qing sighed and said: “You know shit, Lin Yifeng is much better than me, you shouldn’t like me.”
Lu Zheng couldn’t figure out what he meant by this, but it didn’t stop him from snorting coldly: “How good is he? He’s just a pretty boy. Do you like pretty boys?”
Chang Qing looked at him with a bit of pity in his eyes: “You don’t understand, you don’t understand anything.”
Lu Zheng: “…”
He looked at the strange emotion in Chang Qing’s eyes, and couldn’t help laughing, “What the hell.”
His voice was soft, and there was a hint of laziness in his tone. It was a little titillating. Chang Qing’s ears were itchy from his laughter. He couldn’t help but rub his ears. He calmed himself down, and continued to speak: “Don’t have people spy on me anymore. I’m not Lu Shi or the others. There’s no need to treat me like this.”
Lu Zheng was noncommittal. Chang Qing saw his attitude, and knew that he would probably insist on having people watch him. He couldn’t help but feel a little bit Irritated, “Why…why do you like me?”
Lu Zheng glanced at him lightly, and said in a low voice, “There was a day when I thought that your smile was… so fucking attractive. But ah, why did you only smile at that little idiot Lu Hua, and then just smile faintly for me or not smile at all?”
Chang Qing’s breathing became a little hot. He turned his gaze to the bookcase next to him, and he whispered, “What is this?”
Lu Zheng: “What is what?”
Chang Qing didn’t speak.
Lu Zheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Anyway, I didn’t ask you to promise me right away. Just treat it like I’m seducing you. If you can’t bear it, forget it. If you can’t bear it, it’s my fault. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
After a pause, he sneered, “It’s all because I can’t control myself. It’s all my fault. After a hundred years, my brother will only blame me if he wants someone to blame.”
Chang Qing was unable to respond to anything he’d said.
