Chapter 222 Seeking Shelter from the Rain
chapter 222
After half a month of rest, Meng Youcheng's leg had fully recovered.
After this incident, their relationship clearly grew closer, and they were no longer as reserved as before. It was hard to define their relationship at this moment; Meng Youcheng felt they were good friends, good brothers. After all, if they weren't brothers, the other wouldn't be so good to him...
Perhaps Lu Linshen really likes him, but Meng Youcheng is still unsure of his own feelings. He can't believe that his feelings for Lu Linshen are slowly changing.
The two got along very well, without any restraint. One would throw out a joke, and the other would catch it, never making the other feel awkward. Meng Youcheng also noticed Lu Linshen's care for him. That meticulous care, like covering him up if he kicked off the blanket at night, really touched his heart.
Meng Youcheng found it hard to describe how he felt at that time. He only felt a surge of warmth, even a slight restraint, when he looked into the other person's deep eyes.
During the first autumn he spent with Lu Linshen, it rained heavily that day. Meng Youcheng and Lu Linshen were taking a walk outside. When they went out, the sky was clear and blue, but suddenly, dark clouds gathered...
The two of them hurried back, but unfortunately, they were too late. When they were still more than 20 minutes away from home, a bolt of lightning flashed, and large raindrops began to fall with the sound of thunder...
Having no other choice, Lu Linshen pulled Meng Youcheng to a sheltered spot from the rain...
Looking at the torrential rain, both of their clothes were soaked through. Meng Youcheng sighed, "Sigh...the weather was fine when I left this morning, how come it's suddenly raining so hard?"
The sky was still covered with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder, and strong winds. Combined with their soaked clothes, the two of them suddenly felt a chill.
Lu Linshen didn't reply to that question. Instead, he looked at Meng Youcheng's clothes being blown around him and asked, "Are you cold?"
Meng Youcheng was stunned...
He always encountered this kind of small act of concern, but it was precisely this seemingly unintentional concern that could actually penetrate one's heart that always made Meng Youcheng feel a sense of warmth.
"I... am fine."
The place where they took shelter from the rain was a pavilion, where the rainwater easily blew in with the wind...
Lu Linshen stood in front of him, "Hmm..."
Meng Youcheng watched his retreating figure. The two were quite close, and he could clearly feel the other's body temperature. No matter when or where, Lu Linshen's body was always as warm as a blazing fire, and that heat blew onto Meng Youcheng's body with the wind...
Meng Youcheng could feel that comfortable aura. He cautiously moved closer, not daring to make a sound. It was very comfortable, and he wanted to get even closer. It was really comfortable, like the feeling that even if the sky were to fall, he would hold it up for you.
Outside, a fierce wind howled, dark clouds filled the sky, and rain poured down relentlessly, seemingly unstoppable.
Lu Linshen frowned, and as he turned around, Meng Youcheng just happened to run into his arms...
Meng Youcheng immediately shrank back, "I... I didn't mean to..."
Lu Linshen was afraid he would fall, so he helped him up.
Lu Linshen clearly didn't dwell on what had just happened. He looked at the torrential rain outside and said, "Judging from this, it doesn't look like the rain is going to stop..."
"Can I call a taxi?"
Lu Linshen shook his head. "Taxis don't go here."
Meng Youcheng snapped out of his embarrassment, looked at the torrential rain outside, and sighed, "What should we do?"
He found a place to sit and was just about to sit down...
Lu Linshen pulled him up...
Meng Youcheng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Lu Linshen took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the water off the stool. "Water..."
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "It's okay, it's just a little bit..."
After wiping, Lu Linshen threw the tissue into the trash can, then helped him sit down and sat down next to him.
Lu Linshen sighed, "Sigh...this wind is so strong..."
The rain had lessened considerably and stopped blowing in, but the strong winds persisted, making it quite chilly.
Meng Youcheng sat next to him, not distancing himself from him, because the warmth emanating from his body felt like water in the desert in this extremely cold environment, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.
Meng Youcheng glanced at him, "Hmm..."
But Lu Linsen was a gentlemanly young man, and when he sat down, he kept a distance from Meng Youcheng...
Lu Linshen sighed again, "I wonder when the rain will stop?"
Meng Youcheng was quite far away from him, and the heat emanating from him was intermittent, making him very uncomfortable. Moreover, Lu Linshen had a strange, pleasant fragrance that was truly irresistible, drawing him closer...
While he wasn't paying attention, Meng Youcheng subtly moved closer. The heat wafted over him, feeling very comfortable, and a delicate fragrance wafted in the breeze, smelling wonderful.
Lu Linshen, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss, remarked on life, "Actually, I think this is quite nice. In this storm, being able to hide with you in this pavilion has an indescribable beauty. If only we could be in a room, leisurely sitting on the sofa, watching the storm rage outside, it wouldn't concern us at all. We could enjoy this terrible weather, be at peace with the world, and be comfortable and happy."
Meng Youcheng was clearly not in the mood to listen to what he was saying, and he moved his body closer.
Out of politeness, I replied with a single word, "Mm."
Upon hearing such a satisfactory reply, Lu Linshen excitedly turned to look at him, only then realizing that the distance between them had unknowingly shrunk considerably!
Meng Youcheng was about to move when he was startled by the sudden gaze. He immediately looked away and sighed, "Sigh... this rain... why won't it stop?"
Lu Linshen looked at his profile, frowned, and asked, "When...when did we become so close?"
Meng Youcheng was nervous, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Hehe...isn't it...always like this?"
"Yeah?"
"yes……"
Lu Linshen looked at his profile and smiled. "Then may I ask Mr. Meng if I can move a little closer to you?"
Meng Youcheng was stunned, stealing a glance at him, "Huh?"
"I'd like to get a little closer to you. Mr. Meng smells really nice, is that alright?"
Meng Youcheng's cheeks flushed slightly, and he nodded, "Mmm..."
Lu Linshen moved over a lot of space and sat right next to him, resting her arm against his. "It smells so good..."
The heat emanating from Lu Linshen rushed towards me, and his faint, pleasant fragrance lingered around me. It smelled wonderful, giving me a feeling that I would be happy to die right now...
Although Meng Youcheng liked the smell, he was still a little restrained, having just been discovered. He could only awkwardly reply, "You... too..."
Lu Linshen curled the corners of his lips. "Really? Do I smell that good?"
"Um……"
Meng Youcheng lowered his head awkwardly, clearly not daring to meet his gaze.
Lu Linshen persisted, his smile widening. "Then smell me more. Do I really smell that good? I've always thought I smell bad. This is the first time I've heard someone praise me like this. I'm so happy..."
Meng Youcheng didn't reply, which made him somewhat embarrassed...
"What do you think I smell like?"
Lu Linshen clearly didn't want to miss the opportunity to praise himself.
Meng Youcheng was stunned. "The smell of your shower gel..."
Lu Linshen was stunned. "Why can't I smell it?"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "Perhaps..."
"Maybe what?"
Lu Linshen interrupted him with a smile, "I once read a book that said if you like someone, you'll find that person smells very good because the scent of their hormones arouses your desire. So is it possible that, without realizing it, you've quietly fallen for me and then find me very fragrant?"
Meng Youcheng shook his head. "How could that be? It just smells like shower gel!"
Lu Linshen smiled. "So sure? But I really didn't smell anything... I didn't even use shower gel when I showered yesterday..."
Meng Youcheng: "Huh?"
Lu Linshen, who always had a smile on his face, raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Really...?!"
"fraud……"
"No way! I never lie..."
Meng Youcheng looked at his face, "The smile on your lips gives you away..."
Lu Linshen's smile faded. "How about this?"
"He's a complete liar!"
"Hehe..." Lu Linshen chuckled. "Okay, okay, I admit... I did use shower gel when I showered yesterday, but I just got caught in the rain, so the smell should have dissipated long ago. But you can still smell it, which means... your nose is really good..."
Lu Linshen glanced at him and said with a smile, "Let me tell you a secret, I actually smelled your scent too. It's really, really fragrant. I always thought it was your scent trying to seduce me, but now that I think about it, it also smells like my shower gel?"
Meng Youcheng glanced at him. "I would never seduce you!"
Lu Linshen thought for a moment, "If one day you fall in love with me, but you don't know it, your body will give off a scent to express your love. But unfortunately, it'll be shower gel... I have really good taste, right? This shower gel smells so good?"
Meng Youcheng glanced at him furtively. "Aren't you worried?"
"What?!"
Looking at the torrential rain outside, Meng Youcheng said, "How are we going to get back in this downpour?"
Lu Linshen smiled, took out his phone, and said, "I could call the housekeeper to come pick me up..."
Why didn't you say so sooner?
"I want to spend more time with you..."
Just as Lu Linshen was about to turn on the screen, he said, "My name is now..."
His words suddenly stopped, and Meng Youcheng asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"My phone is dead."
