Chapter 98: Handle

The place where Chang Qing lives wasn’t far from the square mentioned by Lin Yifeng, and it was only a ten-minute walk.

Lu Zheng’s sense of Lin Yifeng was still not very good. However, he didn’t prevent Chang Qing and Lin Yifeng from contacting each other.

In addition to wanting to see what Lin Yifeng was up to, he also has a little thought of making Lin Yifeng retreat.

The two of them walked to Yihe Square hand in hand. It was still early and there weren’t many people in the square.

Chang Qing looked around, but found no sign of Lin Yifeng. He called Lin Yifeng and asked, “Where are you now?”

There was still some noise from Lin Yifeng’s side. After a while, the noise disappeared, and then he spoke, “Go to the coffee shop under the mall, I’ll come and find you.”

Chang Qing responded, glanced at Lu Zheng, and said, “He asked me to go to the coffee shop over there.”

Lu Zheng snorted, “He’s seeking you out for a date in disguise.”

Chang Qing smiled, but didn’t speak.

After a while, Lu Zheng said in a low voice: “Find a time and then let’s go on a date.”

Chang Qing said seriously, “Dating is just one thing. You don’t want to miss work for too long.”

Lu Zheng exhaled a white breath, smiled, and said lightly: “We always need to rest.”

Chang Qing didn’t know what he was thinking, but his eyes wandered for a moment and said, “Let’s wait for the right time and talk about it then.”

As they spoke, they walked to the coffee shop that Lin Yifeng mentioned. However, when they looked around, they didn’t see Lin Yifeng’s figure. Just as he was about to take out his phone to make another call, someone patted him on the shoulder. Chang Qing turned his head to look over. It was a giant yellow duck mascot. The mascot held up a rose and handed it to Chang Qing.

Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it. The yellow duck figure handed Chang Qing two theater tickets. Chang Qing hesitated for a moment, but didn’t take them. Looking at the yellow duck costume, he called out, “Lin Yifeng?”

The yellow duck reached out to take off his head. As expected, it was Lin Yifeng’s face. He smiled at Chang Qing. His eyes were curved, like a clear spring, clear and sweet, “Can you recognize me?”

Chang Qing smiled and said: “Guessed it.”

Lin Yifeng looked at Lu Zheng next to him, and asked, “Are you two going for a walk together?”

Chang Qing gave an “en” and heard Lin Yifeng say, “What a coincidence. I happen to have three tickets. Shall we go together?”

Chang Qing glanced at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng looked down at him, and found that Lin Yifeng wasn’t as tall as himself. He was in a better mood, but his tone was still cold and hard. He said, “Chang Qing and I are going on a date.”

Lin Yifeng gave them a hesitant look and laughed. “No way, are you together?”

Lu Zheng said in a light-hearted manner, “We live together, cohabiting.”

His eyes fell on Chang Qing, trying to figure out what was going on. Chang Qing felt guilty and didn’t dare to look him in the eye. “Really” He mumbled.

Lin Yifeng saw the flicker in his eyes and how he didn’t dare to look at him. He misunderstood him again. He thought that his words didn’t match his heart and that he was suffering. He frowned and looked at Lu Zheng with a hint of condemnation and anger in his eyes.

Lu Zheng, on the other hand, only thought that he was jealous and resentful. He felt completely at ease. His eyebrows relaxed and he revealed a relaxed smile. He said calmly, “We’re not going to see the show. He and I are going to see a movie.”

Lin Yifeng reined in his emotions and smiled faintly. He looked at Chang Qing and asked him, “Do you want to go? I had a hard time grabbing these tickets, so it’s a waste not to go see it.”

Chang Qing looked up at Lu Zheng and said, “I want to go.”

Lu Zheng paused slightly and said, “Okay.”

Lin Yifeng looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression on his face. However, he didn’t have time to think too much. Four or five girls who were in a group recognized him and ran over excitedly to ask him for his autograph.

Lin Yifeng glanced at Chang Qing apologetically, and handed him the yellow duck headpiece in his hand, “Hold it for me.”

Chang Qing took it and held it in his arms. He watched Lin Yifeng sign autographs for those girls, from time to time revealing a beautiful smile. He couldn’t help but look at it.

Lu Zheng scratched his palm, lowered his head, and whispered in his ear: “What are you looking at?”

Chang Qing came back to his senses, and said softly, “I wasn’t looking at anything.”

After the girls left, Lin Yifeng dragged his oversized duck body over took the headgear, and said to them with a smile, “Wait a minute, I’ll change out of this and come back to you.”

Chang Qing nodded and watched Lin Yifeng leave. Lu Zheng said in his ear, “You have to learn to refuse.”

Chang Qing smiled and said: “He’s my friend.”

Lu Zheng shook his head. His thin lips twitched, “Friend, he doesn’t regard you as a friend. You’re a piece of fatty meat in his eyes.”

Chang Qing felt that Lu Zheng was also quite sensitive, “Why do you think so?”

Lu Zheng paused and said, “Eyes don’t lie. He looks at you like he’s looking at fatty meat, and he wants to pounce on you and take a bite.”

He said, a little annoyed, “If you really treat him as a friend, stay away from him.”

Chang Qing hesitated. “What you said is reasonable. But I haven’t made it clear to him, and he made it clear that if he can’t be friends… then forget it.”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he was a little more satisfied. “It’s impossible to be friends again,” he said. “Don’t be delusional.”

Chang Qing glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Yifeng came over soon. He had already gained some popularity by this time and had received several advertising endorsements. He was good-looking. If he didn’t cover his face and just walked out, he would most likely be recognized. That was why he put on a mask this time, and only his pair of beautiful eyes were exposed.

Lin Yifeng’s eyes were very unique. His perfect peach blossom eyes were curved. His eyes were clear and dark. When he smiled, they always seemed to overflow with limpid autumn waters1. They were beautiful and gentle.

The way he looked at Chang Qing was indeed very gentle and sweet. However, Chang Qing felt that Lin Yifeng was looking at Lu Zheng the same way. It was the same look that he would give to anyone. It was the privilege of peach blossom eyes.

In fact, he himself might not have any ideas, but those eyes will always make people’s hearts flutter.

Chang Qing regarded him as a friend, and didn’t think much about it at first. How could he think that he would be interested in him? Every time Chang Qing thought about it, he felt that it was actually a little ridiculous.

Right now, he had a lot less mixed feelings about Lin Yifeng liking him. More importantly, he still felt guilty about destroying the official CP. He also had doubts. He couldn’t be sure if they would all be happy after dismantling them.

Lu Zheng can be guaranteed for the time being, but what about Lin Yifeng…Chang Qing has a guilty conscience here.

He felt strange and uncomfortable, and because of this, he developed a little compensatory psychology.

This is very contradictory again. On the one hand, Chang Qing hopes that he will be well, but on the other hand, he doesn’t really want to say something too harsh to make him give up.

Lin Yifeng walked up to him, and Chang Qing retracted his thoughts. He smiled at him and asked: “What are you doing here on vacation? And wearing that kind of outfit?”

Lin Yifeng said: “Helping a friend. He owns the coffee shop. I wanted to help him advertise, but I thought I was still unknown. No one would probably buy it, so it would be better to distribute flyers.”

“I see.” Chang Qing looked at his face and smiled. “You’re so handsome. You can attract many girls even if you work as a waiter for a day. Why do you have to hand out flyers?”

Lin Yifeng also smiled. “That’s also troublesome. It’s not good to affect my friend’s business.”

Lu Zheng couldn’t watch the two of them chatting happily, so he coughed and asked, “Where do we go to watch the drama?”

Lin Yifeng paused, glanced at Lu Zheng and said, “The tickets for the Central Grand Theatre are for 8:30 in the morning so it will start in half an hour.”

Lu Zheng nodded. “We have to call a car.”

Lin Yifeng said, “I have a car.”

Chang Qing was a little surprised, “Did you buy a car?”

Lin Yifeng smiled, “Yes, I bought it before. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I gathered the courage to drive it out.”

Chang Qing said suspiciously: “You’re not very good at driving, are you?”

Lin Yifeng was a little surprised, “You know that too?”

Chang Qing said, “It’s dangerous for a novice driver to drive on the road.”

Lin Yifeng nodded and smiled: “My driving skills aren’t very good, but it doesn’t matter much if I drive slowly on the road.”

Lu Zheng made a decision and said, “Let’s take a taxi.”

Lin Yifeng glanced at Chang Qing, and compromised: “That’s fine.”

The three men hailed a taxi together and got in. Lin Yifeng sat in the passenger seat, while Lu Zheng and Chang Qing sat in the back seat.

Lin Yifeng glanced at them through the rearview mirror. They were holding hands, and never let go. He lowered his eyes and fastened his seat belt. His entire body was silent.

It was only a few minutes’ drive from the plaza to the Central Grand Theatre. It was very close. Lin Yifeng got out of the car and saw that they were still holding hands. He smiled and said,  “Have you stuck 502 glue2 on your hands? Keep pulling.”

Lu Zheng calmly replied, “We’re dating.”

Isn’t holding hands a must for dating?

Lin Yifeng nodded, and suddenly laughed, “Then have I become a light bulb?”

Lu Zheng looked at him, and there was a message in his eyes: You also know that you’re a light bulb.

Lin Yifeng was unmoved. He looked at Chang Qing with a faint light in his eyes, “Do you want to eat something? Do you want some mints?”

He took out a few mints from his pocket and put them in Chang Qing’s hand. He looked around and said, “The ice cream cone here is famous. Do you want it? I remember that you like sweets.”

Lu Zheng took a look at Chang Qing, but Chang Qing didn’t notice the look in his eyes. He really thought about it, and finally replied, “It’s too cold, I’d rather not eat it.”

As he spoke, he peeled a candy and put it in his mouth and began to eat slowly.

Lu Zheng looked around and asked, “Do you want milk tea?”

Chang Qing glanced at him, “Do you want some?”

Lu Zheng said lightly: “I’m asking if you want to drink it.”

Chang Qing was really a little thirsty. “Then yes, I’d like a drink.”

Lu Zheng glanced at Lin Yifeng, “Do you want to drink some?”    

Lin Yifeng refused with a smile: “Thank you, I don’t want any.”

Lu Zheng raised his chin, loosened his hand, which had been holding Chang Qing’s fingers, got up and went out.

After Lu Zheng left, the smile on Lin Yifeng’s face faded. He turned to look at Chang Qing, and asked, “Do you have any handle in his hands?”

Chang Qing was stunned for a moment, “Ah?”
