Chapter 49: The Human-Shaped Cataclysm Defuser (Part 2)
“Are you hungry?” Yu Lin didn’t know how to face such an enthusiastic person. It seemed that if he said he didn’t want to, it would hurt him. In the end, he, who was not good with words, asked this.
From a young age, he had not been close to the people around him. The most common greeting he had heard was, “Have you eaten?”
To Yu Lin, this was a very warm concern.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes gradually lit up. He got up, walked in front of Yu Lin, and nodded seriously. “I’m hungry, wife. I’m hungry.”
Yu Lin looked at him, let go of the hand that was holding the door, and took a step back to let him in, but he said, “I have a request. If you come in, I may have to make three rules with you.”
The young man stared at him, his eyes unblinking, and he nodded quickly. “Okay. As many as you want.”
Is he really a psycho? Yu Lin looked at him, his gaze hesitant, and a question briefly flashed through his mind.
But then the familiar feeling from him made him soften again, and the next second, the young man, with his hands and feet moving at the same time, fell straight into the sofa because he didn’t know how to cross the obstacle.
Yu Lin: “…”
He couldn’t help but remind him, “The house is a little messy. I haven’t put away the things I just bought. You can walk around them.”
Hearing this, the young man, with his head buried in the sofa, struggled non-stop. The sofa was too soft for him, and he couldn’t control such a soft thing. As he struggled, he said, “Okay, wife.”
“…”
Yu Lin walked over and rescued him.
A few minutes later, he was squatting by Yu Lin’s leg, his eyes lowered to look at Yu Lin’s straight calf, and the hand that had just been held by Yu Lin. As he was looking, his eyelashes trembled quickly, and for some reason, his face slowly turned red.
Seeing that he had no ability to live, Yu Lin was silent for a moment, took him to the bathroom, and explained the functions once.
“Do you remember?” he asked lightly.
The young man nodded and touched the shower head curiously.
Only then did Yu Lin realize that he was actually very tall, perhaps 1.9 meters. With a slight lift of his head, he seemed to be about to touch the bathroom ceiling. But he was clean and beautiful, like a student, and he was naive.
Only then did Yu Lin remember that he had not asked the important information.
He didn’t deal with people, and his social skills were lacking. He subconsciously told himself that the psycho had been abandoned, but after thinking about it, it could also be other situations.
So he asked, “Where is your home? Do you remember? After you’ve washed up and eaten something, I can take you back.”
“What?” The young man paused for a moment, was stunned for a moment, and asked him seriously in return, “Wife, what is a home?”
“…” Yu Lin explained, “It’s the place where you used to live.”
However, hearing this, a little bit of anxiety quickly appeared on the other’s beautiful face.
He had his eyes down, and his well-proportioned arms were by his side, as if he had done something wrong. “Can I not go back?”
“Why?” Yu Lin asked calmly.
The young man said, “It’s not comfortable.” He frowned, as if he were recalling. “There are many people who bully me.”
Yu Lin: “…”
Yu Lin frowned. The young man stole a glance at him, and quickly sensed his intolerance, and complained loudly, “So many people, so many people. They always come to bully me together!”
They scolded him so loudly! He heard it all!
He was aggrieved. “Wife… I don’t want to go back.”
It sounded like he had been abused. Yu Lin looked up, and after carefully distinguishing his face, and realizing that he was just angry and not afraid, he let out a light sigh of relief. “Okay. We won’t go back.”
He raised his hand and picked out the shampoo separately. “Use this to wash your hair later… you can stay for now. I’ll go and heat up some food. By the way, my name is Yu Lin. What’s your name?”
He looked up, but found that the other person was looking at him, his eyes clear, and his face was red again. He stuttered two words, which Yu Lin could not hear clearly.
“What?” He moved a little closer and asked softly, “I can’t hear you clearly.”
“Husband.” the other person said with a red face.
“…”
Is he really a psycho?
Yu Lin held the shampoo and looked at him in silence, but soon, he was thrown into confusion again by his subconscious.
I guess so. he thought. I really can’t help but be soft-hearted towards this person.
***
After he had finished his shower, Yu Lin called him out and found him a T-shirt and shorts to change into.
The young man was very tall and well-proportioned. His washed features were slightly sharp, but his eyes were clear and stunningly beautiful. Even Yu Lin was dazed for a moment.
“I’ve heated up breakfast.” Yu Lin handed you a sandwich and a glass of milk. “You eat first… they’re all from the supermarket. I don’t know if you’re used to it.”
The other person took it and finished it in two bites, and looked at him with his eyes curved. “I’m done, wife.”
“…” Yu Lin was puzzled and sorted out his chaotic thoughts. “Why do you keep calling me that?”
“Is it wrong?” The young man had a thoughtful look on his face. “I heard that’s what other people do. Last night…”
Then Yu Lin was forced to listen to the other party’s story of a wild battle that had happened in the small woods of the community.
“So… you heard those words from the small woods.” Yu Lin’s expression was strange.
It was too strange to use “feed.” Yu Lin had temporarily thought of a name for him, Yu Zhao. Just as he had finished, he heard Yu Zhao drop another bombshell.
“Yes.” He took a sip of the milk and finished it, and gestured to Yu Lin. “I was sleeping. Two people were fighting there, moaning ‘husband,’ ‘wife,’ ‘I love you to death.'”
He repeated it with a straight face, and after he finished, he pressed his lips together and looked at Yu Lin. “Wife, I love you too, to death. Why would you die?”
“…Don’t call me wife for now.” Yu Lin didn’t know how to explain it. After a moment of silence, “I don’t know.”
“Oh.” Yu Zhao nodded, a little aggrieved. “I really love you.”
The little psycho looked very innocent and didn’t know anything. Yu Lin looked at him and turned his head slightly.
He pressed his confused head, and after watching the other person finish eating, he got up and pointed to the second bedroom. “You can stay in that room. I have something to do, so I’ll go to work first. If you need anything, you can call me. I’m in the study.”
He then pointed in the direction of the study.
“Okay.” Yu Zhao’s gaze followed his finger and moved continuously, and he quickly nodded.
Yu Lin was relieved and went to the computer to work. He was immersed in his work and was serious, and he easily lost track of time. He only came out once at noon.
Yu Zhao had been obediently playing with a pillow on the seat. The tall young man was holding a little lamb pillow and had been playing with it all morning, his eyes curved with a smile, and he didn’t feel bored at all.
Yu Lin looked at him, and his heart softened a little again.
He thought for a moment, put his attention on Yu Zhao, turned back to his room, took out a spare computer, and walked to the sofa and said to Yu Zhao, “Come here. I’ll teach you how to watch TV.”
The young man came over obediently, sat next to Yu Lin, and with his long and slender fingers propped on his knees, he turned his head to look at Yu Lin. “Wife, what’s TV?”
Yu Lin pressed his lips together, clicked on a Teletubbies, and turned the screen to him. “This is it. Do you think it’s fun?”
Yu Zhao turned his head, his eyes fell on the screen, and after a while, his eyes curved. “It’s fun!”
He was happy. Yu Lin got up, smiled, and raised his hand and ruffled his fluffy hair. “That’s good.”
He got up and continued to work in the study, concentrating on the design drawings. Yu Zhao sat in front of the sofa, his hand supporting his chin, and he leaned over slightly, and watched the Teletubbies with a smile. Neither of them noticed the special warning that had popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
『Jiangcheng News: Attention all citizens. There have been multiple extreme weather phenomena across the country last night. According to the meteorological bureau’s forecast, there will be extreme heavy rain in this city from this afternoon to tomorrow. Please travel with caution.』
The news was in bold and red, but Yu Lin had set his computer to do-not-disturb mode when he was working, and Yu Zhao didn’t care about this kind of thing, so neither of them noticed.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Yu Lin finished his work, opened his phone, and saw the director’s life-threatening messages from noon, urging him to go to the company quickly in a hot-tempered tone.
“…” Thinking about the unstable emotions he would have to face if he ignored this message, Yu Lin decided with a tired heart that it was better to have one less thing to do.
He closed his computer, packed his bag, and went to the coat rack to get his windbreaker. After everything was ready, he was about to go out. When he was opening the door, he belatedly felt that something was wrong.
He turned his head and found that Yu Zhao, who had been concentrating on watching the Teletubbies by the sofa, had at some point shifted his gaze to him. The sky outside was a little dark, and the light blue sky fell on the young man’s beautiful features, which was inexplicably a little grim.
Yu Zhao looked up slightly and asked softly, “Wife, where are you going?”
Only then did Yu Lin remember that he had forgotten about him when he was busy, and said apologetically, “I have something to do at the company. Are you hungry? Do you want to come with me? We can have dinner together later.”
Yu Lin remembered that there was a very delicious hot pot chicken restaurant downstairs from the company.
Yu Zhao’s eyes lit up. He stood up and nodded with his eyes curved. “Okay, wife. I’ll go with you.” He was very happy, and his smile was beautiful and clean.
Yu Lin didn’t feel that there was anything wrong. On the contrary, he was infected by his happy look and smiled.
He was about to be late. After he had taken Yu Zhao out, he had hurriedly called a ride-hailing car, but for some reason, it was particularly difficult to get a car today. He had called several times, but no driver had accepted the order.
Yu Zhao stood by his side, obediently and silently, his eyes bright, like an obedient little dog.
After more than ten minutes, Yu Lin finally got a ride-hailing car by adding a tip. But after he got in the car, the driver’s behavior was strange. He kept his head down, and he had a gloomy look on his face, and he didn’t look at the road, which made Yu Lin a little worried about the driving safety.
The color of the sky was very dark, and it had already turned a deep yellow. The wind was very strong, and the branches of the trees on the side of the road were crackling. The office buildings on the side of the road stood in the strong wind, no longer as clean and bright as before, and they were inexplicably bizarre.
Finally, when they passed a traffic light intersection, and the driver still didn’t look up, Yu Lin couldn’t take it anymore.
Although he didn’t like to take the initiative to speak, he cherished his own safety, and there was also the newly picked up Yu Zhao in the car.
Yu Lin reminded him, “Sir, can you look at the road? It’s not safe to keep your head down.”
But the driver ignored him.
Yu Lin was silent for a moment, and wanted to say, “Then why don’t you let us off? We can walk on our own.”
He really didn’t dare to take this kind of ride-hailing car that didn’t look up.
He pressed his lips together lightly. “Then you let us…”
Before he could finish the words “let us off,” Yu Lin felt something flash in front of his eyes.
Yu Zhao, who had been quietly leaning against the window, had now sat over, and was looking at the front row with his lips pressed together, and his face looked very angry.
He moved to the back seat with a huff, leaned forward, and suddenly slapped the driver in the front row on the head, and said very angrily, “My wife told you to look up. Didn’t you hear?”
At this moment, the entire space was silent for two seconds.
Yu Lin was stunned for a moment before he realized what had happened. He quickly held Yu Zhao’s hand. “Don’t hit people.”
The knuckles in his palm were long and slender, and their shape was beautiful, and they felt very good. After being held by Yu Lin, they trembled slightly in Yu Lin’s hand, and they were hot and motionless.
Yu Lin looked at the front row apologetically.
Although he felt that the driver was unreliable, it was obviously even more wrong for them to hit people. He said softly, “I’m sorry. We…”
But he saw that the driver, who had just been ignoring him, had raised his head very obediently, and was looking straight ahead, and was starting to look at the road seriously.
He was so serious that the sky outside the car window had cleared up a lot, and the raindrops that had just been pattering had been retracted, and the bizarre strong wind with yellow sand had also dissipated a lot.
“…” Yu Lin held Yu Zhao’s hand and did not speak. He was silent, just silent.
Is this right?
Oho 👀
