Lin Ziran was really confused.

He left Ning Bai’s house that day, deliberately calling himself boyfriend to disgust Ning Bai. As expected, Ning Bai was unhappy and ignored him.

He hasn’t contacted him for several days.

This shows that Ning Bai is unwilling to admit this relationship, but why did he suddenly appear and admit in front of Jiang Xuan that he is his boyfriend?

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes, a cold look flashed across his eyes, he looked at Lin Ziran and said slowly: “Is what he said true?”

Lin Ziran hesitated.

Although he didn’t like Jiang Xuan, he was unwilling to agree to Ning Bai and was hesitant for a while.

Ning Bai looked at Lin Ziran calmly, but his heart was not at peace. The fingers hanging by his side were slightly curled.

He never contacted the boy again since the day he left his home.

He doesn’t like people pushing him too far.

He doesn’t like people trying to tie him down with a romantic relationship.

He doesn’t like to sink into a troublesome relationship.

He doesn’t like all this…

But what he disliked even more was that he told himself that he didn’t care, but he kept thinking about this boy again and again.

Every day, every moment, never stops.

He needs to keep telling himself not to contact him and not to care about him, so that he can maintain his usual calmness and rationality, and tell himself that love has never had anything to do with him.

A wrong start should end.

Just pretend that the boy had never appeared, and that moment of heartbeat was just an insignificant episode… Let his life return to the way it was before.

Xue Ze invited him here today. The Xue family has a lot of business here. He was originally impatient to come here, but maybe because his heart was not at peace recently, he finally came. There were too many people in the banquet hall, so he came outside alone to get some fresh air…

But he didn’t expect to see Jiang Xuan holding the boy’s hand, telling him that he liked him and refusing to let go.

At this moment, Ning Bai had no time to figure out whether he was more angry or worried. He walked over without hesitation and said the words he thought he would never say.

Acknowledge a person as his boyfriend.

Ning Bai looked at the boy deeply. I haven’t seen you for just a few days, and you’re being entangled by Jiang Xuan again. Do you think he won’t do anything to you here? He has countless ways to make you submit and make you unable to speak… You clearly swore last time that you wouldn’t do it again, but you never did what you should do, and you put yourself in danger at every turn. You’re so naive…

Ning Bai lowered his eyes and looked at the hesitant Lin Ziran, and opened his thin lips slightly, with a faint warning in his voice: “What, still not come over?”

When Lin Ziran heard the tone, he knew that Ning Bai was angry again. Although he didn’t know why Ning Bai did this, it was a good opportunity to get rid of Jiang Xuan. He shook off Jiang Xuan’s hand and ran to Ning Bai’s side in two or three steps.

Humph, I’ll piss you off to death!

Jiang Xuan looked at his empty hands and was slightly startled, but he quickly hid the disappointment in his heart and regained his usual composure. He looked at Ning Bai with a half-smile and said: “So that’s how it is. I was a little rude.”

Ning Bai looked indifferent and said word by word: “It’s good that Mr. Jiang knows. I also advise you to keep a sense of propriety with other people’s boyfriends next time and don’t do things that will cause misunderstandings.”

He was hinting at Jiang Xuan’s disgraceful behavior last time and warning him not to mess around.

Jiang Xuan’s eyes flashed, and anger surged in his heart, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Although Xiaodong is your boyfriend now, he is still my friend. I am pursuing him normally. I believe that Lawyer Ning will not have any objection, right?”

Ning Bai looked at him and saw the provocation in his eyes.

He said calmly: “Xiaodong won’t like you, Mr. Jiang, don’t waste your time.”

Jiang Xuan shrugged: “I’m afraid you can’t answer this question on behalf of Xiaodong.” He turned to look at Lin Ziran with a gentle expression: “I’m sorry, I was wrong before, I don’t expect you to forgive me immediately, but I will make it up to you…”

Lin Ziran laughed hehehe.

Jiang Xuan looked helpless, and withdrew his gaze, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

If Ning Bai hadn’t existed, the boy would have been in his hands sooner or later, unable to escape his grasp…

Jiang Xuan suddenly shrugged and smiled, then turned and left. When he passed by Ning Bai, he smiled meaningfully in his ear: “I know your secret… I hope you can protect him well. If you let him get hurt, I will not sit idly by…”

Ning Bai frowned.

But Jiang Xuan seemed to have just said something casually and soon walked away.

Ning Bai turned back to look at the boy, pursing his lips slightly.

It’s only been a few days since that incident, can’t you learn from it? Why don’t you know how to protect yourself…

Foolishly, you put yourself in front of those who covet you.

Ning Bai suddenly felt a little irritable. This was something he had never experienced before, but in the short period of time, he had disrupted his steps several times because of this child.

Saying things that shouldn’t be said.

Doing things that shouldn’t be done.

Ning Bai took a step forward, his eyes cold, and slowly said: “Don’t you know that you should keep your distance from Jiang Xuan? Do you want the same thing to happen again?”

And I can’t always rush to save you…

Lin Ziran was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a surprised look. He didn’t expect Ning Bai to be worried about him.

Is he trying to protect him?

Lin Ziran was a little embarrassed.

Ai, he is a person who is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted.

If you continue to treat me coldly, I can ignore it…but if you care about me, I will be embarrassed to be perfunctory.

After all, you have good intentions.

Lin Ziran laughed dryly and said obediently: “I will pay attention, you don’t have to worry.”

Ning Bai pursed his lips tightly, looked at the boy’s obedient and docile appearance, and closed his eyes tightly… It seemed that something was spreading in his heart, trying to disturb his mood…

Actually, Lin Ziran felt that he had considered it carefully today, and nothing would happen. He didn’t have the patience to continue to accept Ning Bai’s criticism and education. He moved his eyes and said with a sly smile: “Why did you admit that you are my boyfriend just now? You obviously didn’t admit it last time.”

Ning Bai’s expression was slightly tense. After a moment, he seemed to be somewhat embarrassed and avoided his sight. He said in a hoarse voice: “It’s a temporary solution.”

Lin Ziran raised an eyebrow ? Hahahahahaha a temporary solution? Think about how to fight back to appear powerful…

Ning Bai suddenly turned around and left cleanly.

Lin Ziran: “…”

Although his goal was to piss Ning Bai off, didn’t Ning Bai leave too quickly this time? It seemed like he was avoiding him…

Lin Ziran looked puzzled.

Never mind, let’s go!

Lin Ziran didn’t care whether Lu Maofeng would look for him or not. He left the party and went out to party. He didn’t return home until 11pm. When he got home, Lu Maofeng was waiting for him at home.

But to his surprise, Lu Maofeng was not angry, but smiled and said: “Xiaodong, why did you leave early without telling dad?”

Lin Ziran said calmly: “Forgot.”

Lu Maofeng said: “You are such a kid, did your father make you angry in some way?”

Lin Ziran looked at him and seemed to understand something.

He spoke slowly, his tone sarcastic: “Dad, Jiang Xuan and I had a falling out, and I will never see him again.”

As expected, Lu Maofeng’s expression froze, and he tried to persuade him kindly: “What’s the matter? Mr. Jiang cares about you very much. If you have any temper, throw it at home. Don’t act like a child when you go out. Listen to your father and go and admit your mistake to Mr. Jiang. It’s no big deal.”

Lin Ziran looked at the man’s face. He was really trying to persuade him seriously. He hoped that he could go back to Jiang Xuan and admit his mistake…

At this moment, there is something he wants to say.

If Jiang Xuan wanted to break your son’s legs, would you send him abroad to die?

If Jiang Xuan wanted to violate your son, would you send him to Jiang Xuan’s bed?

But Lin Ziran didn’t ask in the end.

No need.

Asking may only make Lu Xiaodong more miserable… Some things are better left unsolved without knowing the outcome.

Lin Ziran turned around and returned to the room.

He glanced at the black diary on the bedside table.

He exhaled: “What an idiot.”

………………

When Lin Ziran woke up the next day, he found that there was another 100,000 on his card…

【Lin Ziran: This may be the only cute thing about Lu Maofeng. 】

【System: You really disliked him yesterday. 】

【Lin Ziran said seriously: I still don’t like him, but I like money. Money can make a person cute, but the shelf life is very short. Let’s just decide that he will be cute for one day. 】

Looking at the 100,000, Lin Ziran suddenly felt very emotional, because he remembered that the last time he was cheated by the picky Ning Bai, he exchanged it for a large wardrobe of clothes. Now he saw that he was really a sucker at that time, and he actually spent money like this on a man just to complete the task!

Bah, it’s better to use this money for charity than to spend it on Ning Bai.

Now that he finally has money again, Lin Ziran decided to go out and have some fun. The happiness of rich people is that simple.

Lin Ziran went out to eat and drink a lot.

He happily went to the Internet cafe and played games for an entire afternoon.

Then he went out for dinner again in the evening.

Then he went to the cinema to watch a movie.

Then he went for a midnight snack.

The simple happiness of ordinary life. He was driving home to rest at night. When he passed Yunjian Road, he suddenly saw the familiar coffee shop.

It was this damn coffee shop that made him run errands for Ning Bai for half a month!

Ning Bai is a picky guy, he has to drink coffee from this shop.

It’s already 11 o’clock, and the coffee shop is still open.

Lin Ziran stopped the car for some unknown reason and walked in.

The boss was already familiar with him, and without asking any questions, he packed him a cup of coffee without sugar and placed it on the table. Lin Ziran took it and left tacitly.

【System: What are you doing? 】

【Lin Ziran: On the way, bring Ning Bai a cup. 】

Although Ning Bai was very annoying, he pretended to admit that he was his boyfriend yesterday to help him out.

Although he doesn’t need his protection, he’s still grateful for him standing up for him yesterday…

And this time it was just a side trip, not a big hassle.

By the way, he would spend no more than 100 yuan on Ning Bai!

………………

Ning Bai sat in his office, tapped the table with his fingers, raised his eyes and said: “I will not continue to participate in the cooperation with the Jiang family. You can go, or transfer it to other firms that are willing to accept it.”

Xue Ze said with a bitter face: “No way, you gave up halfway through the work, aren’t you making things difficult for me?”

Ning Bai raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly: “I’m not making things difficult for you. I’m just reminding you that it’s a good idea to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.”

Although Jiang Xuan is very powerful in this city and has a large family and business, he is not invulnerable. There is no need for him to be an enemy of Jiang Xuan, but if Jiang Xuan insists on forcing Lu Xiaodong, he will definitely not let him off easily…

Considering the possible disputes in the future, it is most appropriate to withdraw early.

Xue Ze saw Ning Bai’s determination, and his expression gradually became serious: “I heard that you confronted Jiang Xuan over Lu Xiaodong at the banquet yesterday.”

Ning Bai frowned slightly.

Xue Ze said: “You also admitted that he is your boyfriend.”

Ning Bai said in a slightly cold voice: “It’s just a temporary solution.”

Xue Ze put away his usual nonchalant attitude, looked at him seriously and said: “Really? Are you in love with him?”

This sentence made Ning Bai’s expression even colder, and his jaw was tight.

Love?

Would he fall in love with such a child? Apart from being a little obedient, he has an eccentric personality, speaks without restraint, and occasionally likes to provoke him. What is there in such a child that is worthy of his love?

And the word love has never been related to him.

He won’t fall in love with anyone.

Ning Bai looked indifferent and said slowly: “I don’t love him.”

………………

Lin Ziran was standing at the door. He came quietly, ready to give Ning Bai a surprise, but who knew he would hear these words. This was too much of a coincidence. What kind of luck did he have?

【System was a little worried: …you. 】

【Lin Ziran: I’m fine, I’ve always known that. 】

Well, isn’t it obvious that Ning Bai doesn’t love him? He has never liked him either, right? He just came here because he felt that the other person had helped him, and he felt a little guilty about it…

But it is definitely not appropriate to go in at this time, it would be so embarrassing!

It’s not the right time to come.

Forget it, Lin Ziran smiled carefreely, took the coffee and quietly left.

Since Ning Bai didn’t care about his thanks, he was too lazy to bother with his kindness. Anyway, he didn’t plan to continue the plot, so he didn’t need to care about Ning Bai’s thoughts.

This time there is no more psychological burden.

Lin Ziran decided to stay away from these protagonists!

Next, he will have a good vacation in this world, and then find a chance to quit the game when the time is almost up. He can wake up in the morning and have breakfast in the cafeteria. Perfect!

Lin Ziran came downstairs and was about to throw the coffee into the trash can, but then he thought about the dozens of dollars it cost and felt a little reluctant to do so. But he really didn’t like drinking coffee, especially such bitter coffee!

He can’t even drink this even if he pinches his nose…

He and Ning Bai have nothing in common!

In the end, Lin Ziran had no choice but to throw the coffee into the trash can. This was extremely heartbreaking for a young man who was good at saving food. He would be upset for a long time if half a cup of milk tea accidentally fell to the ground!

Throwing away the coffee was a bigger blow to him than Ning Bai saying that he doesn’t love him…

He really regretted buying it.

But this is the last time!

Don’t even think about me spending a penny on you again!

Lin Ziran got into his green sports car with his head held high and rode away in a cloud of dust.

………………

Xue Ze looked at Ning Bai for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: “It’s great that you don’t love him. Just give him to Jiang Xuan. We don’t have to stop cooperating with Jiang Xuan. It’s the best of both worlds!”

Give him to Jiang Xuan?

Ning Bai recalled the disgusting scene he saw in the box that day, and thought of the serious consequences if he went a little later…

Jiang Xuan, absolutely not!

Ning Bai said coldly: “There is no need to say more about this.”

Xue Ze looked at Ning Bai, looking left and right, and couldn’t help but sigh: “I have known you for more than ten years, right?”

Ning Bai didn’t say anything.

Xue Ze said: “Please don’t be so stubborn. Don’t I know you? I don’t really care about the cooperation with the Jiang family. If you don’t want to do it, then don’t do it. It’s no big deal. If you really want to fight Jiang Xuan for Lu Xiaodong, I will definitely stand on your side, but can you please stop hiding your feelings!”

Ning Bai frowned and said: “For Whom? Lu Xiaodong…”

Xue Ze interrupted him: “I mean if. You don’t have to rush to deny it! I mean if you really fall in love with him… why don’t you try to love someone? Love is not a terrible monster, nor a weapon to torture resentful lovers. It is actually a very beautiful thing. Why don’t you try to take this step? How do you know that the result will definitely not be good if you don’t try it?”

Ning Bai looked at him and said coldly: “You seem like a philosopher today.”

Xue Ze said proudly: “I have always been a philosopher of romance. I have 28 ex-girlfriends. Each of them loves me very much. Sometimes in bed, we often discuss the philosophy of life.”

Ning Bai stood in awe and asked quietly: “So, you have 28 ex-girlfriends, do you love every one of them?”

Xue Ze: “I love…”

Ning Bai: “I don’t want such cheap love, and I have no interest in understanding it.”

Xue Ze: “…Okay, then even if you don’t love him! But you don’t want him, and you want to fight Jiang Xuan for him, you’re really losing both the wife and the army!”

Ning Bai frowned: “I said it’s not for him.”

Xue Ze: “You are!”

Ning Bai tapped the table with his fingers, raised his eyes, and said in a cold voice: “You should leave.”

Xue Ze had no choice but to stand up, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: “I won’t talk to you anymore, anyway, you should figure it out and don’t regret it.”

Then he shook his head and left.

Ning Bai lowered his eyes and looked at the phone on the table. He could actually pick up the phone and call the boy, hear his voice, and go see him…

But this is not what he should do.

If he can’t give him what he wants, then maybe staying away from him is the best outcome for both of them.

In fact, you don’t love me that much, it’s just a whim, isn’t it?

It was just a farce that started with lust…

It was beyond his expectation to reach this point.

Let’s end it like this before it gets too late.

………………

Lin Ziran has been having a great time recently. He was busy doing quests and following plots in the previous worlds. And because he had just started playing, there were many things he couldn’t let go of. He also had to stick to a character that was completely different from his nature, so he really didn’t live a very free and easy life.

But as Lu Xiaodong in this world, Lin Ziran has a stronger sense of substitution than before, and he does not need to deliberately pretend.

Familiar world, familiar environment, everything is so familiar, eating, drinking and playing are all as he likes.

What’s even more perfect is that Jiang Xuan and Ning Bai seemed to have disappeared!

Lin Ziran ate an ice cream cone and squinted his eyes in satisfaction. In fact, it was good that the plot didn’t go on. It would be fine if it didn’t happen! This way, Lu Xiaodong wouldn’t have to have his legs broken and be sent abroad to die miserably. Although he would have to quit in the end, he could choose the way he wanted to die!

How and when he dies is up to him.

In a word, Lin Ziran completely let himself go!

In fact, his mentality is quite normal. This is how it works when playing games. Because he played so badly in this round, he just gave up and will try again in the next round.

Lin Ziran licked the ice cream and returned home. He was quietly preparing to return to his room when he unexpectedly heard a faint sound coming from the study.

It seems that Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan are arguing.

Lin Ziran was a little surprised.

He has been in this world for more than a month. Although he feels that this couple is strange, they are very polite to each other. They are not passionate, but they have never quarreled. What happened?

Lin Ziran came over curiously.

Feng Wan’s eyes turned red. She looked at Lu Maofeng and said with trembling lips: “Are you telling the truth? Did you really find him? Aren’t you lying to me?”

Lu Maofeng looked embarrassed and said: “How could I possibly lie to you about this? I really found him, and the source of the information is reliable, so I came to tell you.”

Feng Wan suddenly burst into tears. She looked at Lu Maofeng with resentment: “It’s all your fault. If it wasn’t your fault, I wouldn’t have abandoned my child… Do you know how painful my life has been in the past twenty years…”

Lu Maofeng felt a little guilty and a little angry, and said in a low voice: “Keep your voice down, what if Xiaodong hears it?”

Feng Wan sneered: “He’s just an adopted child. Did you ever care about him?”

If Lu Maofeng had not cheated on her, she would not have run away from home with her child on impulse, and ended up accidentally losing her child. She could not have children due to physical reasons, so Lu Maofeng took a child from outside to raise for her out of guilt, hoping to make her forget the mistakes he had made…

But this is impossible!

That child was not hers, but a substitute that Lu Maofeng brought back to coax her.

That child was not as pretty as her own son, not as smart as her own son, not as capable as her own son, not good at exams, studies, or talents, and still looks silly at the age of seven or eight… Every time she looked at that child, she would be reminded of her lost biological son, and that because of her momentary negligence, she lost her most beloved son…

Every day, every month, every year, she lived in regret and pain. She hated her own negligence and Lu Maofeng’s repeated betrayal.

Feng Wan stood up, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said coldly: “Where is he? Take me to see him.”

Lin Ziran hurriedly tiptoed away, returned to his room and closed the door. His heart was beating very fast and hard. He really didn’t expect to hear such a secret…

But, it wasn’t as shocking as he thought…

Lu Xiaodong is not their biological child, but an adopted child. No wonder Feng Wan is always so cold and indifferent to him, and Lu Maofeng only cares about whether he is useful or not…

So it is like this ah……

To be honest, there are many families with bad relationships, after all, every family has its own problems… But the Lu family’s parents are so ruthless that they can sell out their son and send their son with a broken leg abroad to die… If they were their own children, they would not do this!

This can explain why Lu Xiaodong’s parents are so ruthless!

Lin Ziran took a deep breath, listened to the sound of the two people leaving, and then calmly pushed the door and walked out.

【System: What do you want to do? 】

【Lin Ziran: I gossip. 】

【System:……】

Lin Ziran didn’t drive his green sports car, which was too conspicuous. He suddenly thought and called a taxi to catch up with Lu Maofeng’s car in front.

In the original plot, Lu Xiaodong was about to be sent abroad, but from the time he appeared on the stage to the time he left, the script did not mention Lu Xiaodong’s background at all, which shows that it was an insignificant plot not worth mentioning.

But Lin Ziran is now playing the role of Lu Xiaodong, and living as Lu Xiaodong. Everything around him seems to be real, not just a name, a joke in the mouths of others.

He wanted to get to the bottom of this.

In front, Lu Maofeng’s car stopped outside a cafe, and the couple walked in.

Lin Ziran got out of the taxi, followed them and quietly sat in the booth behind them. He wore a hat when he came out, and no one noticed him sitting there.

Lu Maofeng should have made an appointment with his biological son to meet here, but he hasn’t come yet. Lin Ziran looked over carefully with his hat brim lowered. He could see Lu Maofeng’s nervous and expectant eyes, and Feng Wan’s moved, excited and anxious look…

These expressions were something Lin Ziran had never seen before, and probably something Lu Xiaodong had never seen before either.

In front of Lu Xiaodong, they were always indifferent.

Lin Ziran waited patiently. Suddenly, the door of the cafe was pushed open. A tall and handsome man walked in. He was well-dressed and looked cold. Who else could it be but Ning Bai?

Lin Ziran lowered his head quickly. I am indeed lucky to run into Ning Bai here…

Don’t discover me!

But what is Ning Bai doing here?

Lin Ziran looked up cautiously and saw Ning Bai sitting in front of Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan.

Lin Ziran: ? ? ?

Did Lu Maofeng even hire a lawyer to recognize his son? Is he so thoughtful?

Ning Bai sat down in front of the two of them, slowly raised his eyes, looked cold, and slightly opened his thin lips: “What do you want to see me for?”

Feng Wan looked at him, unable to contain her excitement and anticipation. Her lips trembled as she said: “Xiao Bai, do you still remember your Mom? I am your Mom…”

Ning Bai’s eyes suddenly became sharp, and he swept his scrutinizing gaze over the two people in front of him, his tone unchanged: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Lu Maofeng held Feng Wan’s hand. He was more stable at this time and said in a deep voice: “I know it’s been so many years. It’s normal that you don’t remember us, but we are your biological parents. If you don’t believe this, we can do a paternity test…”

Ning Bai listened to him quietly, with a smile on his lips: “No need, I am not interested in this matter.”

Lu Maofeng was surprised by Ning Bai’s reaction. Even if Ning Bai didn’t remember them, he wouldn’t be so cold after learning about his biological parents. At this moment, he even suspected that his information was wrong, but it shouldn’t be the case… Jiang Xuan must have investigated it clearly before telling him.

He believed that Jiang Xuan would not joke about such things.

Seeing Ning Bai’s cold attitude, Feng Wan couldn’t help crying and looked at him pleadingly: “Xiao Bai, Mom knows you are blaming us. It’s all because Mom accidentally lost you, but Mom really misses you and has never given up looking for you all these years…”

Ning Bai finally fell silent.

Lu Maofeng also said quickly: “We know that you are living a good life now, and you are also very capable. You may not want us to disturb your life, but please understand your mother’s feelings. She really loves you and is worried about you…”

Ning Bai pursed his lips slightly, a hint of complexity appeared in his eyes, but he still did not respond.

At this moment, there was a sound of a water cup knocking over in front.

Ning Bai subconsciously looked up and saw Lin Ziran standing in the booth opposite him, staring at them blankly.

Why is Lu Xiaodong here?

Ning Bai was unexpectedly caught in such a scene. For some reason, he was a little nervous and said in a low voice: “Xiaodong, why are you here?”

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan nervous. They suddenly stood up and turned around, and then met Lin Ziran’s gaze.

【Ding, the hidden plot ‘Ning Bai’s origin’ is triggered. 】

Lin Ziran was so shocked and excited by what he heard just now that he accidentally knocked over the cup when he stood up. It was easy to understand and not surprising that Lu Xiaodong was not his biological son, but who the hell could have thought that Ning Bai was Lu Maofeng’s biological son?

What kind of magical fucking script is this? Can it be any easier? Isn’t it really designed this way to save characters? !

It’s really embarrassing to be caught eavesdropping.

Especially in this situation.

Lin Ziran hesitated for a moment and said: “Dad, Mom.”

Lu Maofeng and Feng Wan: “…”

Ning Bai’s face suddenly changed, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.

Lu Xiaodong turned out to be Lu Maofeng’s son.
