Yan Han, slumped dejectedly on the windowsill, suddenly heard a loud engine roar. He looked up to see Lin Jianlu returning on a shiny motorcycle, followed by a Border Collie.
Seeing Big Brother Lin park the motorcycle at the villa entrance, Yan Han, already dressed, quickly opened the door and rushed downstairs. He ran into the two nannies at the stairwell and in the first-floor living room respectively. Yan Han bowed to them one by one and then ran out the door to find Lin Jianlu.
The two aunts gathered together, both quite excited. One of them muttered, “Is this the friend the young master invited back? This is the first time in so many years that the young master has brought a friend back!”
The other agreed, “The eldest young master was always worried that the young master couldn’t make friends at school. Now it seems… the young master has grown up.”
“And that little boy looks really good. Have you seen his skin? It’s so tender that you can pinch it to release water!”
“And he smells so good. I was startled when I opened the door this morning. The fragrance was so tender and pleasant!”
“What a delicate boy. No wonder the young master likes him.”
Under the smiling eyes of the two aunties, Yan •Can pinch out water• Smells good• Han bumped into Lin Jianlu as soon as he pushed open the door. Fortunately, both of them reacted quickly and took half a step back when their chests were almost touching.
Lin Jianlu sniffed and asked, “Why do you smell so good?”
Yan Han: “?”
He lifted his arm and sniffed, then sniffed the collar of his shirt. Yan Han suspected the scent was either from the bottle of essential oil he’d kept applied onto his body for half the night before, or from the body lotion he’d slathered on.
He was quite sensitive to fragrance, and it had indeed been too strong at the time. After sneezing twice, he consciously blocked out the scent, trying not to smell it.
Later, perhaps from frequent use, it felt like he’d slept in a scented atmosphere, and now he was completely numb to it.
Yan Han replied expressionlessly, “I had a massage last night.”
Lin Jianlu: “???”
“That’s not the point, so let’s not talk about that for now.” Yan Han pulled Lin Jianlu’s shoulder with a look of despair. “Um, did you understand what I told you on the phone?”
“I understand.” Lin Jianlu felt a mixture of laughter and tears at the mention of this, with a hint of a helpless smile playing across his face. “It’s my fault. I didn’t arrange things properly, and they disturbed your sleep.”
“It’s not about sleep, it’s about me getting exposed!”
Yan Han leaned in, his voice carefully lowered.
From Lin Jianlu’s angle, he could see his eyelashes fluttering like tiny brushes, and combined with his fragrance…for some reason, it reminded him of an exquisite Barbie doll.
“Don’t worry, they won’t go around telling stories,” Lin Jianlu said, dragging him back inside.
Just then, a nanny came out with dog food to feed the Border Collie that Lin Jianlu had just taken for a walk, while another auntie called them in for dinner.
Lin Jianlu nodded, told the nanny, “I’ll go wash up,” and dragged Yan Han all the way to the first-floor bathroom. As he washed his hands, he said, “These two have taken care of me since I was a kid, and they won’t tell anyone or anything they see at home.”
“…So strict?”
“Yeah.”
“…”
Yan Han hadn’t expected that.
But then again, the fact that he had no breasts wasn’t a national issue. The two aunts didn’t even know who he was. At most, they’d mention “Young Master’s boyfriend came over, over the weekend” when chatting with others. Who would be able to guess it was him? The impact on him was truly minimal.
Oh, and boyfriend here meant a male friend.
Besides, if Lin Jianlu said no, then the probability was practically zero. Yan Han now understood his Big Brother Lin’s routine. It wasn’t anything special, but if Big Brother Lin said no, then it was no.
“If you’re really worried, do you want me to explain it to them?”
Yan Han, lost in thought, didn’t react. “What explanation?”
Lin Jianlu glanced at his chest and said, “Just say you’re actually a girl. As for the issue of your chest…” Big Brother Lin frowned slightly as he spoke, as if pondering how to explain the situation.
“…No need,” Yan Han said, dejected. “Wouldn’t that just make things worse?”
“Yeah,” Lin Jianlu reassured him with another faint smile. “Don’t worry.”
His heart was already at ease. Seeing that Lin Jianlu had washed his hands, Yan Han said, “Let’s go.”
“Okay, let’s go have breakfast.”
Back in the main hall, further inside was the dining room.
It was called the dining room because it was still enormous. In the center stood a table so long that Yan could roll over it dozens of times. Decorated in the same European retro style, the solid wood table was decorated with candlesticks and other decorative items. Lin Jianlu sat in the first chair to his left, motioning for him to sit next to him.
…For some reason, the feeling that he was a rich young master was already quite strong back at school, but upon arriving at Lin Jianlu’s house, Yan Han had an undeniable feeling—they weren’t even from the same class!
The opulent decor and furnishings perfectly complemented the noble air that emanated from Lin Jianlu’s every move.
It wasn’t even a complementary relationship; it felt like only a place like this was worthy of Lin Jianlu’s life.
This feeling intensified as the Auntie laid out that day’s breakfast.
Looking at the breakfast before him, the plates and cutlery all radiating luxury, the exquisite presentation, and Lin Jianlu devouring it with unparalleled grace, Yan Han finally couldn’t help but quip, “It’s a good thing this world is set in the 21st century. If it were medieval Europe or something, we wouldn’t have met.”
Confused by his sudden remark, Lin Jianlu replied, “?”
“Didn’t they say that classes were very distinct back then? Nobles, commoners, and slaves… after all, we couldn’t have been classmates.”
“???”
After a flurry of grumbling, Yan Han finally wielded his knife and fork and began to eat. Western breakfasts were all about variety and beautiful presentation, but in essence, it was just bread, sausage, and eggs— nothing special.
But the bread slices were toasted in the toaster, until they were slightly crispy but not dry, and a warm, grainy aroma emanated from them.
The sausages and bacon were also meticulously pan-fried by the chef, not only crispy on the outside but also tender on the inside. The ingredients and cooking process were meticulously crafted, completely different from the nitrite-laden foods sold online.
The eggs were even more exquisite. Even a small boiled egg had been cooked in a variety of ways. It was delicious, nutritious and tasty…
Unfortunately, Yan Han had no interest in such exquisite food.
While eating breakfast, he planned his itinerary for the day.
Perhaps his good mood from yesterday carried over into today, but he was still in high spirits. So he said to Lin Jianlu, “Big Brother Lin, do you have any plans for the weekend?”
“If I do…” Lin Jianlu thought for a moment, “I’m going to get a haircut later.”
“…” Was getting a haircut something particularly important?
Yan Han added, “Then after breakfast, I’ll go back to do my homework.”
Lin Jianlu didn’t bother to stop him, simply nodding and saying, “I have to go out anyway. I’ll take you home on my bike after breakfast.”
Yan Han: “!”
A bike…?!
Suppressing his pounding heart, Yan Han said, “Okay, okay.”
His eyes immediately fell on Lin Jianlu’s motorcycle parked outside.
The dining room windows were wide open for ventilation, and from inside, one could see a brand new, gleaming, wild motorcycle parked outside.
Judging by its appearance, its grandeur, and its imposing appearance, it was undoubtedly a Harley-Davidson.
And there was no doubt about it: this was the new Harley-Davidson that Yan Han had been dreaming of before he came into this world, wanting only to see it once and satisfy his craving!
Yan Han had heard about Lin Jianlu’s Harley before, and Wen Juerong had even shown him a candid photo from an online forum. But never having seen him ride one, he’d forgotten about it. It wasn’t until he’d leaned over the window and spotted Lin Jianlu and his motorcycle, majestically approaching, that Yan Han suddenly remembered and his eyes nearly popped out.
Yan Han couldn’t help but ask, “Big Brother Lin, is that yours?”
“Yeah,” Lin Jianlu replied calmly, following his gaze. Then, “Do you like it?”
“Of course I do! What man wouldn’t?”
The thought of his brother Lin taking him on a motorcycle… Yan Han quickly began to slurp down his food.
Lin Jianlu was baffled. “Eat slowly, there’s more.”
“…”
After breakfast, Yan Han didn’t have much to pack, so he washed his hands and waited for Lin Jianlu to go upstairs and change before heading out.
While waiting for his brother Lin to come down, Yan Han sat at the small bar in the living room, lost in thought.
His legs swung unconsciously, his eyes glancing at the large motorcycle outside the window. He couldn’t react at all except for salivating. The thought of riding that coveted motorcycle made him feel so good!
Even if someone had to lead him, it was still great!
A moment later, Lin Jianlu, dressed in a new outfit, came down. He was still wearing white sneakers, standard cropped sweatpants, a T-shirt, and a denim jacket.
He said, “Let’s go.”
“Ah!”
Yan Han quickly stood up and followed Lin Jianlu out of the villa, heading towards where the motorcycle was parked.
…Closer!
Watching the brand-new motorcycle creep closer and closer, Yan Han fought the urge to touch its heart. He followed Lin Jianlu, watching him walk right past the motorcycle, then to the wall and pull out a bicycle…
Yan Han:…?
The bicycle was a nice one, seemingly one with gears and capable of mountain biking, but…
“Aren’t we riding the motorcycle?” Yan Han asked, eyes wide.
His hair, bathed in the sunlight, had turned a golden hue, his skin turning almost translucent. His deliberately wide eyes made him look less fierce and aloof, and even more innocent and endearing…
Lin Jianlu couldn’t help but turn around, then he walked back, and said, “We’re both underage. We don’t have a license, so we can’t ride motorcycles.”
“…”
Yan Han tried to defend himself, “I’m actually an adult. I was already twenty before I came into this world.”
…though Lin Jianlu’s expression made it clear that this excuse wouldn’t work.
So the eldest brother could only roll his eyes and said, “Besides, I will be an adult soon. Well, my birthday will come in half a year.”
This time, Brother Big Brother Lin asked, “When?”
“… Maybe in January next year.” Yan Han said, and then he pulled the corner of Brother Big Brother Lin’s clothes: “So I can, I’m very good at riding, okay?”
Lin Jianlu’s attitude was quite straightforward: “No.”
“…”
But then, Brother Big Brother Lin changed the subject and stopped teasing him.
“You definitely can’t go on the road, but you can in my yard. There is a running track over there. If you like, you can go for a ride there.”
Yan Han:…!!!
“F**k! Brother Big Brother Lin, you’re not even panting when you speak?”
Lin Jianlu’s answer was to throw the bike keys to him directly.
