Meng Youcheng's brow twitched slightly, and he asked, "Did you sleep or not?"
Lu Linshen hugged him tighter, resting his head on his shoulder, and repeated, "Brother Cheng... you smell so good..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned and glanced down at it briefly.
Beneath Lu Linshen's thick white hair were a pair of slightly closed eyes, long eyelashes, and thick eyebrows, highlighting his clean and tidy face...
So... he was talking in his sleep?
Meng Youcheng did not resist, staring at the ceiling...
It's only been a few hours since then, how did you fall asleep so quickly? Ugh... And he's so heavy, why did he train his arms so hard? He's pressing down on me and I can't breathe...
Ugh……
"Brother Cheng...you...smell so good..."
Meng Youcheng couldn't help but glance down again...
Is that all he knows?
Is someone talking to me?
Does it smell good? It's alright. It's mainly their shower gel that smells really nice, but there's no need to keep saying that. Besides, it feels like they're saying, "Bro, you smell so good."
Lu Linshen hugged him tighter. "Brother Cheng... why didn't you tell me when you left?"
Meng Youcheng clearly heard the other person's murmur, and his expression visibly froze for a second...
So... they weren't talking about me.
Meng Youcheng felt a pang of disappointment. He sighed and tried to remove the hand from his chest, but it was too heavy to lift...
To be loved like this by someone must be an extremely happy thing, right? If your ideal love knew how much you love him, no matter what, he probably wouldn't disappoint you too much. Even if you can't become lovers, maybe you can become friends...
To be honest, I'm really a little envious. When will I be loved like that?
"Brother Cheng...don't leave me...I love you..."
……
As the sunlight streamed in, Meng Youcheng slightly opened his eyes. He couldn't remember when he fell asleep last night; it seemed he drifted off to sleep amidst Lu Linshen's incessant talking in his sleep...
The moment he opened his eyes, his body moved instinctively, which woke Lu Linshen from his sleep...
Lu Linshen frowned slightly, and when he opened his eyes, he was momentarily stunned, but he didn't react much. His eyes were filled with disbelief, and then he quickly left...
"Brother Cheng...me?"
Meng Youcheng rubbed his eyes, glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
What happened to me last night?
Meng Youcheng thought something serious had happened and sighed, "I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to really be a restless sleeper at night, just like I used to, liking to hug someone while you sleep..."
Lu Linshen was stunned. "I...I didn't do anything to you, did I?"
Meng Youcheng shook his head, "No..."
Lu Linshen finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Just as Meng Youcheng was about to get up, Lu Linshen quickly came over and asked, "Do you need to use the restroom?"
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "I..."
"Let me help you..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "My... foot is almost healed. I should be able to walk without any problems. I shouldn't need to..."
Lu Linshen gently interrupted him, "The doctor said you need to rest for a few more days, and try not to exert yourself if possible..."
Meng Youcheng said somewhat hesitantly, "But, I..."
"Brother Cheng..."
Lu Linshen leaned closer and said gently, "I've already told you. If there's anything you need, just ask. Don't be afraid to bother me. I won't feel it's a bother about your affairs, and you shouldn't feel burdened by it..."
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "It's mainly because of me..."
Lu Linshen saw the hesitation on his face. "I'll help you inside, then I'll turn away and not look back. Trust me..."
"All right."
……
After using the restroom, Lu Linshen helped Meng Youcheng wash up, and then helped him to the living room...
I settled him on the sofa, and then went to the kitchen...
Lu Linshen: "You're really unlucky. The housekeeper said he's not feeling well and won't be coming today. I'll make you breakfast. Sit here for a while, you'll be fine soon..."
Meng Youcheng nodded, "Hmm..."
Out of the corner of his eye, Meng Youcheng also noticed his glasses, picked them up without hesitation, and put them on his nose...
A gentle push, and then...
I don't know what to do.
Meng Youcheng sat on the sofa, let out a long sigh, and looked around somewhat uneasily. The surroundings were quiet, and there was nothing worth investigating…
The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen...
Meng Youcheng hesitated before standing up...
Although he couldn't put much weight on his left leg, it wasn't a big problem. He could still limp a few steps without any issues, and he cautiously made his way to the kitchen...
Lu Linshen, wearing an apron, presented a broad silhouette as he diligently chopped vegetables, unaware of what was happening behind him...
Meng Youcheng stared blankly at his retreating figure...
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, a white shirt, thick white hair, black trousers—he's so perfect. Just from his back view, you can tell he's an extremely handsome young man…
He hesitated, then took a step forward, making a sound because he wasn't paying attention to what was beside him...
Lu Linshen quickly turned around to check, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"
Meng Youcheng was about to lift the cabinet next to him when Lu Linshen immediately went over to lend a hand, "Let me do it..."
After Lu Linshen righted the cabinet, his gaze fixed on him. "Didn't I tell you to sit on the sofa? Why did you come here? What if you fell?"
His tone was very gentle, without a trace of blame.
Meng Youcheng scratched his head awkwardly, "I... couldn't sit still... so I wanted to come and see..."
"What's so interesting about a kitchen?"
Lu Linshen smiled. "It's all greasy and dirty. Why don't you go back and sit down? I'll make breakfast, and then we can eat together. If you're bored, you can watch TV. I'll help you back..."
Meng Youcheng looked at him with some helplessness, "I... can go back by myself."
Meng Youcheng was about to turn back when Lu Linshen grabbed his hand. "Let me help you walk, it'll be safe..."
Meng Youcheng did not resist and said, "Actually, my leg is much better now. I just walked here and it was fairly steady, just not very fast. You don't need to support me every time. Otherwise, when I'm fully recovered, I don't even know if I'll be able to live without you..."
"Don't leave..."
Lu Linshen helped him walk step by step, saying, "Wherever you want to go, I'll help you. Thinking about it that way, it's quite a happy thing."
Meng Youcheng glanced at him, smiled, and said, "Heh... this is just the beginning. You'll get annoyed in a few days..."
Lu Linshen replied almost without hesitation, "Never."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. Before he could react, he was helped to the sofa and sat down...
Lu Linshen gently patted his shoulder, "Be good, don't run around, or you'll fall..."
"Oh……"
Watching the other person's departing figure, Meng Youcheng was stunned. Hearing those four words, he felt a strange sense of comfort, something he would never... Such an obscure word, he'd hardly ever heard anyone mention it before...
……
More than half an hour later, Lu Linshen came out carrying the carefully prepared dishes. "Try them..."
Looking at the wide variety of dishes in front of him, Meng Youcheng suddenly didn't know where to begin...
"this……"
Lu Linshen was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Meng Youcheng said, "What a beautiful plating..."
"I learned it, of course, it cost me several thousand yuan..."
Meng Youcheng didn't comment. He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and asked, "What is this...?"
"How's the pork liver? Is it good?"
Meng Youcheng nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Delicious..."
Lu Linshen smiled and then sat down with relief...
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "Do you... all eat breakfast?"
Lu Linshen was stunned. "Huh?"
"Well... I usually eat steamed buns or something for breakfast, but you guys usually eat white rice for breakfast?"
Lu Linshen was stunned, and said hesitantly, "Usually... he eats steamed buns and stuff, but today... the housekeeper isn't here, so he... is just taking a day off..."
Meng Youcheng was puzzled. "Actually, making steamed buns is much simpler than this. There are frozen steamed buns that you can just heat up..."
Lu Linshen said awkwardly, "I know..."
"Then why...?"
Lu Linshen mustered his courage, looked up at him, and said, "I want to... show off my cooking skills and hope to hear your praise. To put it simply, I'm just... showing off."
Meng Youcheng was stunned...
Lu Linshen immediately lowered his head. "Um... I think I did alright?"
"tasty……"
Lu Linshen smiled, "That's good..."
Meng Youcheng gave a thumbs up, "That was a good show of bravado!"
……
"Don't you have to go to work?"
Meng Youcheng looked at the boy in front of him and asked, "It's almost nine o'clock now, and you're still here playing chess with me. Don't you have work today?"
Lu Linshen frowned, looking at the chessboard in front of him. "I'm too old. I retired a long time ago..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "Huh?"
Lu Linshen squinted, looked up at him, and smiled. "Is it strange? I am indeed quite old. I'm 25 this year. Why wouldn't I retire?"
"Do you own this company?"
"yes……"
"Are you kidding me again?"
Lu Linshen looked up at him. "Where am I kidding you? We're just having a retirement event here. Isn't playing chess one of the most popular pastimes for seniors? You're 25 this year, old enough to retire. You can hand over the company to someone capable and sit at home counting your money. If you're lucky, you can play chess with someone you like..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "You're really not kidding?"
Lu Linshen frowned. "What? Now that you know I'm retired and unemployed, you're looking down on me?"
