Lin Qingyan stared blankly at the eyes that were very close to him. The man’s eyes were quite attractive, with a narrow and elongated shape, a fan-shaped double eyelid that was narrow on the inside and wider on the outside, complemented by high eyebrow bones, giving him a very charismatic and deep look.

When he looked at someone seriously, he appeared particularly affectionate.

Such as now.
Lin Qingyan felt his heart skip a beat and quickly averted his gaze, lowering his eyes and pretending to be calm as he said, “Mr. Gu, I can find a place to stay on myself… I don’t want to trouble you.”

Gu Fei looked at the slender, trembling eyelashes of the young man for a few seconds, then, after a slight pause, said it was no trouble, “It’s not too early, come back with me first, and then make plans tomorrow.” After a pause, he said in an inquiring tone: “Okay?”

Master Gu is only accustomed to giving orders to others, he rarely speaks to people in such a negotiating tone

Lin Qingyan finally nodded hesitantly. There was no way he could refuse the man who spoke to him in such a manner. If he stayed at Gu Fei’s place, he would have more opportunities to confirm his identity.

He subconsciously believed that this man would not hurt him.

In addition, he was really poor and didn’t even have a hundred yuan in his pocket. If he didn’t go with Gu Fei, he would truly be left homeless. So, it was the best choice.

The two of them walked outside side by side. As they walked, Lin Qingyan suddenly felt like he had forgotten something and abruptly stopped in his tracks, “By the way, Mr. Gu, Brother Yu is still in the bathroom. Shouldn’t we wait for him?”

Hearing this, the man pursed his lips, seeming a little displeased. The young man knew him and An Yu at the same time addressing An Yu affectionately as “Brother Yu” and using a more polite “Mr. Gu” for him.

What went wrong?

“An Yu isn’t coming with us.””Oh… I see.”

Lin Qingyan was still a little hesitant, so Gu Fei directly grabbed his wrist and led the person outside. The skin under his touch was soft and delicate, causing him to grip it a little tighter.

Lin Qingyan’s mind went blank for a moment, as he stared at his wrist being held by the man, feeling the warmth of his palm, which turned his earlobes pink.

He quickly put An Yu’s matter behind him.

On the other side, the forgotten An Yu came out of the bathroom excitedly and stood in the empty box, looking around blankly, “That’s weird, where have everyone gone, Brother Fei? Yan Yan?”

Just then, his phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated twice. He took out his phone to check and found that Gu Fei had sent him two WeChat messages. One was a 200 RMB red envelope, and the other was a message: “We’re leaving first. Take a taxi home.”

An Yu:???!

Damn, you don’t have to play like this!

And two hundred yuan. Why is Mr. Gu so stingy.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Qingyan watched Gu Fei’s cell phone vibrate non-stop, and a series of voice messages popped up, all of which were sent by An Yu.

But Gu Fei just glanced at it, then calmly turned off the phone screen, started the car and drove slowly blending into the traffic in the night.

The car was very quiet, and neither of them spoke. Gu Fei was naturally a reserved and quiet person, and Lin Qingyan had a calm and introverted personality and was slow to warm up to others.

Lin Qingyan has been a very well-behaved child since he was a child. In the past, relatives at home praised him for being well-behaved and sensible, but everyone preferred his lively and naughty younger brother. It seemed like he had never been particularly likable.

Although the air in the car was very quiet, Lin Qingyan didn’t feel awkward, and there was an inexplicable harmony between the two.

Suddenly, the man’s voice sounded in his ears.

“Are you afraid of the sound of the shutter?” Although he asked a question, the man’s calm tone conveyed that he was sure, “In other words, you are afraid of taking pictures, right?”

He glanced at the young man beside him with gentle eyes.

When An Yu was taking photos just now, Gu Fei observed all of the young man’s reactions. Subconscious reactions are the most genuine. After hearing the shutter sound, the young man’s eyes were filled with panic and fear. It was definitely not as simple as not liking to be photographed.

Lin Qingyan was surprised by the man’s observation. He had clearly explained it, but he was still seen through. However, he couldn’t admit it. It was a squeal (past trauma)from his past life. If he admitted it, he wouldn’t be able to explain.

Who would be afraid of these things for no reason at all?

“It’s nothing. I really just don’t like taking photos since I was a child,”

The young man’s tone and expression were very natural. When he was a star, he had filmed several movies and studied acting seriously, so his acting skills are still the same.

It’s just that those were too busy criticizing him and ignored his acting skills. No matter how hard he works, would still be ridiculed as a decorative vase, and just for having a good-looking face.

Gu Fei didn’t know whether to believe it or not, and his expression remained unchanged. However, he didn’t dwell on this issue and changed the topic: “It’ll be about half an hour before we arrive. You can take a nap if you’d like.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qingyan closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the seat, his posture relaxed, but he had many things hidden in his heart, and his head was filled with many thoughts, so he didn’t feel sleepy.

Gu Fei glanced at the young man’s face before switching on the car’s music. The English songs that filled the car had a soothing rhythm, inducing a sense of relaxation both physically and mentally, almost like a hypnotic effect.

Coupled with the fact that the man drove the car smoothly, Lin Qingyan gradually became sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it, with his head gently tilted to the side, resting near the car door.

Looking at it from Gu Fei’s angle, one can see the boy’s soft and delicate side face. He is quiet and well-behaved when he is asleep. The youthfulness and innocence that have not faded away.

The man looked back and continued driving without changing his expression, but his hands on the steering wheel tightened slightly, revealing the unrest in his heart at this time.

The black Maybach passed through the busy streets, gradually drove into the quiet high-end villa area, and finally stopped in front of the front yard gate of a single-family villa.

The wide and heavy iron door opened, and the car slowly drove in.

Gu Fei turned off the engine, and the young man in the passenger seat was still asleep, breathing lightly. Gu Fei gazed at him intently, involuntarily reaching out and gently moving closer to the young man’s cheek.

At this moment, the boy’s eyelashes trembled twice, and then he opened his eyes, looking at the surrounding environment with some confusion, “Mr. Gu, have we arrived?” he asked, turning his gaze towards Gu Fei.

” Yes, let’s get out of the car.”

Gu Fei got out of the car first and took out the suitcase from the trunk. Lin Qingyan stayed in the car for half a minute, waiting for his mind to clear up before getting out of the car.

Lin Qingyan subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment. Although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit. The place where he was standing now should be the front yard of the villa, which is very large. Behind is the villa, um… it’s still very big.

Although he hasn’t entered yet, it is already very beautiful just by looking at it.
