Name:Close to You Author:
Yu Han dropped him off at the entrance of the Painting Garden and Luo Lin Yuan watched the other party’s car leave. He stood at the entrance of the Painting Garden for several minutes, before remembering to go inside.

As expected the ambiguous marks on his neck caused a heckle. Wen Qiwen’s eyes almost came out of the frame, “Lin Yuan, what’s wrong with you? You’re still a little rascal who doesn’t know anything about the United States!”

Luo Lin Yuan coughed lightly, “Teacher Wen, watch your words, I am Dean Lin.”

Xu Meng was introverted and shy, except for stealing a glance at Luo Lin Yuan’s neck traces, she covered her face and didn’t know what she was thinking.

Chen Qing smiled kindly, “Not bad, our Little Comrade Lin grew up to be a man ah. I’m very satisfied.”

Luo Lin Yuan really can’t compete with these women. Wen Qiwen said, “Damn, Xiao Yuan. You just quietly went off the list? What about the agreement that everyone is happy to be single together? In the end, who are you with ah? Which little sister?”

The four women stared at him with inquisitive faces. Luo Lin Yuan thought about it and said frankly, “Not a little sister.”

They were stunned, Wen Qiwen opened her mouth wide, and Luo Lin Yuan said, “My lover is a man.”

Not long after this powerful explosive bomb fell into Yuyuan Painting Garden, Xiao Xiong broke the silence first, “As I said, you look like a shou.”

Xu Meng unexpectedly pfft and laughed out loud, covering her mouth while laughing on one side and seizing Luo Lin Yuan on the other, her eyes with a vague excitement.

Chen Qin was born in the United States and has seen the winds and waves. To be honest, the art students who study painting have a few female classmates who knock on the cp between men and men, and women and women.

She hugged her arms and said deeply, “Also, I haven’t seen you say which girl you like.”

On the contrary, Wen Qiwen couldn’t accept it. They have known each other for the longest time, “What’s wrong with you, you originally liked men ah!”

Luo Lin Yuan: “En.”

Wen Qiwen: “Why didn’t you say so at that time? All these years, I’ve asked you if there’s anyone you like and you have said no.”

Luo Lin Yuan: “It’s true that I didn’t at that time.”

Wen Qiwen: “But, but!”

Luo Linyuan slowed down his voice, “I didn’t have a lover at that time, much less a man I liked. I only liked my partner, and my partner is a man.”

He didn’t really want to mention this. He didn’t go into detail, but Wen Qiwen felt that she was concealed. As a close friend, Luo Lin Yuan didn’t make friends with her, making her very embarrassed now.

Back then in the United States, she also set up Luo Lin Yuan with her roommate. If she knew Luo Lin Yuan liked boys, she wouldn’t have done such a senseless thing.

Although Luo Lin Yuan rejected her matchmaking quite firmly, there was no room for a hint of fantasy.

Luo Lin Yuan finished coming out of the closet in a breezy manner and then clapped his hands, “Okay, stop gossiping. When the time comes, I will take my partner to eat a meal with you. Now, work first. Tonight is the opening of Yuyuan Flea Market. Explain the precautions to the parents. Let’s set up the venue first!”

After speaking, he went out of the pantry where gossip was concentrated and went back to the office to deal with the traces on the neck.

If you show it to a few teachers, they will see it, but if you let the parents notice it, the parents will say that he has a bad influence.

He put a few band-aids in front of the mirror when Xiao Xiong walked in. She handed him a silk scarf with a black background and banana pattern. He traced his finger on his neck. “Know how to tie it bah.”

Luo Lin Yuan took it and tied a knot around his neck, “Thanks.”

Xiao Xiong calmly asked, “Is it the parent of Taro Ball?”

Luo Lin Yuan almost choked on his saliva, coughing for half a day before glaring at Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong looked indifferent, hiding merits and fame, “It really is him.”

Luo Lin Yuan: “You can see? How can you tell?”

Xiao Xiong: “When you two met, there was almost a background music of an emotional heavy rain.”

Luo Lin Yuan: “What?”

Xiao Xiong stretched out two fingers, compared her own eyes, and then pointed to Luo Lin Yuan’s, “The eyes are too sticky… The atmosphere is also very strange, there was no one else. I’m not blind, of course, I can tell.”

After saying that, she said to the blushing Luo Lin Yuan, “Dean, jiayou oh~”

How could Luo Lin Yuan know that there was a Hidden Camera Xiao Xiong around him? This woman was amazing. She was a person who did big things. She could bear it. She obviously saw it earlier but didn’t say anything.

Luo Lin Yuan’s body was quite uncomfortable. Before the flea conference started, he went to the small clinic again, intending to take some medicine.

When Tao Qing saw him coming, she was surprised to see her old friend, but she was also worried that he was sick again.

Luo Lin Yuan was a bit squirmy and didn’t know what to say. Who would’ve thought that the old doctor still took his pulse? He pulled him over and touched his wrist, and said with a calm face, “Weak kidney, excessive intercourse.”

Luo Lin Yuan almost didn’t directly escape from the small clinic.

Tao Qing looked at him in surprise with a look of amazement, wanting to say something but hesitating. The old doctor said, “Take a good rest. Youngsters shouldn’t rely on their energy to recklessly mess around.”

Luo Lin Yuan: “Do I take medicine?”

The old doctor said, “What kind of medicine should you take? The girl who was tossed by you should take the medicine. Just rest for a while and it will be fine.”

He can’t say anything to the old doctor, so it’s better to be honest with Tao Qing, who knows his sexuality.

Tao Qing was still entangled, “You have someone.”

Luo Lin Yuan smiled faintly, “Yes, Yu Han.”

Tao Qing suddenly realized. She smiled and grabbed some anti-inflammatory medicine for him but also prescribed a pill suppository, “This pill suppository is for…”

Luo Lin Yuan quickly interrupted, “No, no, I know. If I don’t know, I’ll search it up on Baidu. Okay. Don’t say it, please.”

After taking the medicine, Tao Qing sent him to the clinic door, smiling at him. Luo Lin Yuan blushed when he was seen, “Just say what you have to say, what are you smiling like this for.”

Tao Qing suddenly held his hands, “That’s great, Xiao Yuan.”

Luo Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. Tao Qing said, “You know, Yu Han has never forgotten you, he has been waiting for you all these years.”

……

The flea conference started at six, the hottest time has passed. When Yu Han took Taro Ball to the scene, the children had been so hot that they took off the little Pikachu hat on their heads, revealing their messy hair.

Yu Han felt the temperature and frowned with worry. Taro Ball took his father’s hand and shook it, “It’s too hot Dad, can I have some ice cream?”

Auntie Liang came with them. She was afraid that the scene would be too crowded and the child wouldn’t see, so she took the initiative to come with Yu Han and Yu Han agreed.

The three of them set up their booths. Yu Han put the cardboard boxes filled with toys next to the booth and let Taro Ball and Auntie Liang set up the booth together. He went to find the person himself.

Teacher Yuyuan’s booth was at the front of the flea market, by the stage. It was filled with teachers’ paintings as well as some excellent works of students.

There were people everywhere, bustling around, very lively and noisy.

The person he was looking for was moving things with some female teachers.

Luo Lin Yuan was the only one in Yuyuan who was a boy. The things he helped to move were inevitably heavier. Because he wasn’t feeling well, he stopped walking, and it didn’t take long for his forehead to sweat.

He finally moved a heavy carton to the side of the booth, bent over, and held his legs to catch his breath. He was sweating profusely when his sweat hit the ground, thinking of what Tao Qing said in his mind. Yu Han had been waiting for him.

His heart was stuffy and swollen, and the surging emotions were desperately suppressed. Following the surrounding temperature, the heat of his body gradually turned into water vapor in his eyes and hit the ground one by one.

He thought no one would wait for him, just like seven years ago, in this huge C City. He couldn’t stay anymore and couldn’t stay. Because no one will need him, he can no longer have anyone.

But it never occurred to him that the ties that people leave behind keep haunting the people they think about.

He finally understood how naïve, impulsive, wishful, and self-righteous he was. But not so much wishful thinking, because while he missed another person, that person was also thinking of him.

They had stayed where they were, and it was only a matter of turning around to see, but he never had the courage to turn his head. Otherwise, he would have been able to find out earlier that the person was still there.

A call came from his ears, he wiped his face with his hand in a mess, and the sweat from his fingers went down into his eyes, stinging him.

He raised his eyes, Yu Han came towards him. He looked at him worriedly and apologetically, but did not say much and only asked, “How much more do you have to move?”

Yu Han said, “You don’t have to carry it, I’ll do it.”

Hearing no answer from him, Yu Han’s voice gradually hesitated, he looked carefully at Luo Lin Yuan’s face and frowned, “What’s wrong, is it really uncomfortable?”

Yes, he was uncomfortable and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing his pale face, Yu Han’s worry turned into strength. “Sit for a while, I will take you to the hospital later.”

Luo Lin Yuan shook his head, “I’m fine.”

Where does it look like it’s fine?

Luo Lin Yuan didn’t want to say anything, so Yu Han didn’t press the issue. There were people all around, it was noisy, and it wasn’t a suitable place to talk.

He untied his cuffs, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the group of female teachers to help carry things.

Luo Lin Yuan was left hanging by the side, full of heartache, and only ran after Yu Han’s figure with his eyes. But it didn’t take long for him to cheer up again, his mood was still low, but the reality was that there was more to do.

He was no longer his eighteen-year-old self who can do nothing.

Luo Lin Yuan poured half a glass of water, pulled himself together, and joined the team setting up the booth. At the beginning of the event, there will be stage performances, provided by the two taekwondo clubs and dance classes that they have partnered with.

He still needed to go and talk to the partners there.

At 6:30, the event officially began with music and performances, and the crowd gradually increased. Luo Lin Yuan was communicating with the security guards at the entrance and exit, in order to prevent extraneous people from entering troubled waters. Parents and children attending this event needed to take special admission tickets and stamped entry.

With so many children and so many people, the issue of safety was particularly important.

It was busy until 8 pm, everything was in order, and Luo Lin Yuan was relieved to return to the booth to rest.

There wasn’t much light behind the booth, and half of the light was hidden by the tent that was put up. In the darkness, Luo Lin Yuan sat on a chair, elbows propped up on his knees, tired and seemingly overwhelmed as he arched his body.

At that moment, tears that had been held back for a long time crackled down.

He knew he shouldn’t cry, he was 25 years old, and there was nothing to cry about.

But he couldn’t control it, he couldn’t control it.[1] He felt distressed and regretful, uncomfortable, and dejected.

This is seven years, they wasted time. He thought it was for Yu Han’s good, he won’t regret it.

But he regretted it, especially extremely regretful.

The cloth curtain used to enter the door was lifted, and someone walked into this dim corner. The shadow was stretched extremely long on the bright side of the ground, gradually spreading to the back of his feet.

He heard Yu Han say, “ I found you, so you’re here.”
