Playboy (1)

Li Tang, who was still affectionate, was stunned on the spot. He didn’t expect that the man who had died for him would one day treat him with this attitude.

Regardless of whether it was lust or indulgence or something else, Li Tang’s face, who had been praised by others since childhood, suddenly became ugly.

Seeing the young master Li’s face shaken, a slightly shrill female voice rang in the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant: “You child, what is your temper? Mom knows you are upset, but you can’t be angry. Ah.”

She looked at Li Tang again, with a slightly flattering smile and a somewhat flattering tone: “Li Tang, my family Lu Yi has not been in a good mood recently. You are more mature, so don’t care about Lu Yi.”

This shrill-voiced woman was no one else, but Gao Xue, the stepmother of the original owner.

The original owner was still a college student, and the suicide was committed in the dormitory. The next morning, the original owner’s roommate discovered something was wrong and quickly called the emergency number.

The ambulance entered the school early in the morning, and it also disturbed many people in their dormitory building. The school suppressed the incident, hoping to minimize the negative impact.

But even so, everyone who should know knew, such as Li Tang, one of the culprits who caused the suicide of the original owner, and the original owner’s father and stepmother.

Originally, his stepmother didn’t care. But she heard that Li Tang was coming to visit the patient, so she came early in the morning and waited for him.

After all, the other party was still a stepmother, she had a child, and had a son with the original owner´s biological father. It was also human nature to be unable to get close to him who was not her biological son.

However, after the other party committed suicide, as a legal mother, she didn’t care about the original owner at all. She was still making noise in the ward, so that the patient could not be quiet, just to please the culprit who harmed the original owner. It was really disgusting.

Lu Yi glanced at the other party’s face that had been smeared with thick powder, his eyes were a bit disgusting: “You also get out of here.”

Lu Yi’s stepmother opened her mouth wide. You must know that her stepson always had no sense of presence at home. The most extraordinary thing he did was to get involved with a man.

Now the other party was not only cold to that man, but also disrespectful to his elders.

A word came out of Gao Xue’s mind: Lu Yi´s head was damaged.

She originally wanted to reprimand Lu Yi, but taking into account Li Tang’s presence, his intention of getting back together with Lu Yi and her desire to climb into the relationship with the Li family, she forcibly endured the unhappiness and squeezed out a smile: “You child, mom cares about you too.”

After clarifying his situation, Lu Yi did not give Gao Xue a bit of affection: “The patient needs to rest, you are very noisy, if you want to chat with this Mr. Li, please go out and talk again.”

He pointed to the sign hung at the door of the ward, which clearly read three words: “Please keep quiet”

Lu Yi said with a smile, “Aunt Gao, you are also a college graduate. You are educated and you should be literate.”

With a few words, he tore off the gold that Gao Xue had posted on her.

When did this little bunny become so sharp-edged? Could it be that he broke the jar once he died?

Gao Xue didn’t think in the direction of any weird power. After all, a person who had died once had walked on the line of life and death, and it wsa not impossible for his temperament to change drastically.

The damn Lu Yi was so ruthless, the smile on Gao Xue’s face was stiff when he said so badly.

But she was old and spicy after all. Although Lu Yi’s mouth had become poisonous, Gao Xue had a thick skin.

At the beginning, she didn’t respond. After Lu Yi finished speaking, she still kept smiling: “It’s auntie who is not very worried. I know you don’t want to call me auntie. Auntie is so happy to see you wake up. Get a little excited, if you really don’t want to see me, I’ll go out now, but in any case, let your body rest”

When talking about the latter, Gao Xue’s eye sockets were still half red in response to the scene. Although she was not young, her appearance and figure were well maintained. She looked quite pitiful.

What she meant was that Lu Yi was rebellious and disobedient. She had a motherly heart, and she had been let down by her rebellious stepson.

It was a pity that the two present were gays, and no one appreciated this style.

Hearing Gao Xue’s words, Lu Yi chuckles and laughs.

“Auntie, if you really care about me…”

Lu Yi got out of the hospital bed by himself and poured himself a glass of water with his right hand without dangling water. His dumb voice was much more soothed, and his voice was obviously clearer: “After hearing my words, you would pour me a glass of water, or would at least ask me if I am thirsty, right?”

Yes, if it was really her own child, when she heard Lu Yi’s hoarse voice, she would definitely wonder if her child was thirsty or uncomfortable. But there was no action at all, if this was no hypocrisy, then what was it?

“Okay, it’s the same. The ward needs to be quiet. I want to rest. If nothing else, you should go out.”

It sounded polite and alienated, but Gao Xue could hear the ridicule in the other’s tone.

“Okay, let Lu Yi rest.” Li Tang, who hadn’t said a word, opened his mouth and left with a cold face.

He didn’t feel that Lu Yi suddenly didn’t like him anymore. If the feelings could really be erased so easily, Lu Yi wouldn’t be making a fuss, dying for him.

He felt that 80% of what he said before was too hurtful, and that the other party was still angry.

But he wouldn’t put his face on the ground and let Lu step on it. Even if the other party committed suicide, it was the other party’s strange work himself, and it had to do with him.

Facing Lu Yi who suddenly became poisonous and indifferent, he didn’t feel that his charm had declined, but that the other party was trying to catch him.

Playing this trick with him was really too tender, it could be said to be shameless. He intends to let him aside, waiting for the other party to come to him, then he would be generous and forgive Lu Yi.

Gao Xue had rushed to Li Tang, waiting for the other party to leave, and hurriedly followed out.

When the two people who were obtrusive to the eyes left, Lu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, the world was finally quiet.

Although he didn’t know why he became this Lu Yi, he intuitively felt that he might stay in this world all the time. In that case, he used the body and identity of the original owner and would take responsibility for the other person’s life.

The original owner’s family situation was complicated. The stepmother Gao Xue, who wanted to influence him with love, was something that only happened in a bitter drama, and it was impossible in reality.

Lu Yi was not as lacking in love as the original owner, and of course it was impossible to catch him.

As for the father of the original owner, after marrying Gao Xue, he hardly fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.

Like this time the original owner committed suicide and was admitted to the hospital, but the other party did not even call.

Through the memory of the original owner, Lu Yi could almost think of the other party’s face when he heard the news.

The man must have frowned, with a look of disgust: “Why did he commit this kind of thing? It really lost the old Lu family’s face, he should die clean, but was hospitalized for so long, wasting my money.”

Although this man had a lot of slots, the other party also gave money to raise the original owner, so accordingly, Lu Yi would do his duty as a son and pay the equal alimony provided by the law. As for other things, don’t even think about it, Father Lu.

But Father Lu and Gao Xue weren’t the point, the real point was the ex-boyfriend who just got together.

He didn’t know exactly how he should do it, but the purpose was to make Li Tang´s life hard.

But this seemed very difficult, because Li Tang was a playboy, many people knew, but for his handsome appearance and rich golden family background, there were still a lot of people rushing on him like moths.

Without Lu Yi, there will be Zhao Yi, Qian Yi, Sun Yi, and Li Yi spinning around each other.

Then, ruin the other’s proud face? That was too shameful. Lu Yi couldn’t do such a thing. The revenge he hoped was that the other party was retributed for his bad personality and life, instead of using violence to solve the problem.

If he really did that, what would be the difference between him and the scum like Li Tang.

The problem was, as long as the other person’s appearance and family were still there, it would never happen that no one cares about him.

However, this situation now had some advantages. The original owner had committed suicide and was not close to his family. The sudden change in temperament would not make others feel strange.

Forget it, he didn´t think too much, his body was still in a very weak state, and it hurt when he thinking about it.

It may be that Gao Xue blew some ear wind in front of Lu’s father. After staying in the hospital for four or five days, Lu Yi was notified by the hospital staff to go out earlier because he was not renewed in the hospital. The beds were tight and it was impossible to use limited medical resources for charity.

After Lu Yi left the hospital, he definitely couldn’t go back to the home where Lu’s father and Gao Xue were located. He simply followed the route in his memory and went back to the university dormitory.

When he returned, the other people in the dormitory were not there. Lu Yi looked at the class timetable posted on the original owner.

At this point in time, the others should still be in class.

When Lu Yi returned to the familiar dormitory, many vague memories of the original owner became clear in his mind.

After college, he avoided that unreliable father who would not give him anything under the wife´s influence. The original owner did several part-time jobs and saved a sum of money for emergencies.

But because he didn’t go back during the summer vacation, the father of the original owner knew that his son was doing summer work and winter work. No matter how much money Lu Yi could earn, he simply used the excuse that his son had grown up and his family had financial difficulties. Let him be financially independent, and he will not pay for living expenses and tuition.

Relying on working as a tutor and doing various part-time jobs on weekdays, coupled with the hard work of the scholarship, the original owner could barely cope with his living expenses and tuition, but only barely.

Boys develop later than girls. Some people try to grow taller after their 20s. The original owner was 17 when he was in college, but he was still less than 20. His body was still growing, but every time he could only eat seventy or eighty percent full, the original owner was very thin.

Every time Lu Yi changed his clothes, he found that his body was so thin that he had no sense of beauty. When he touched, it was all bones, he looked empty when he wore looser clothes.

Fortunately, the face was decent. Although the personality was a little gloomy, but with a face and gloomy temperament, it still attracted several suitors.

The original owner was very happy to be liked by others, but would always refuse, because most of the confessions to him were cute girls, and he liked men.

This society was much more tolerant of homosexuality than it was ten years ago. You could also see same-sex couples in pairs on university campuses, but same-sex marriages had not yet been approved by law. As a minority group, he may be blessed by strangers, but parents and other elders will object.

After realizing that he only liked men, the original owner didn’t want to cause trouble to those girls who really liked him, so he didn’t agree at the beginning.

Later, I didn’t know from whom people knew he was a homosexual, so Lu Yi was approached by Li Tang.

Unlike the original owner who was useless except for grades and face, Li Tang was a famous playboy in their school, but his flowers were only for men, and women were not at all.

It was said that Li Tang came out of the closet when he was in high school, anyway, the family did not expect him to be the heir.

As long as he didn’t mess around and didn’t get any messy diseases, the family didn’t care about him.

Because of his outstanding appearance, cheerful personality, a variety of talents, and very good at playing, even if he was shunned by some anti-comrades, there was never a shortage of people around him.

There were straight boys and gays, and some junior girls who admire seniors.

For the original owner who was cowardly and accustomed to forbearance, Li Tang was the kind of luminous body he most yearns for. So, after the other party came to confess, he was surprised at first, reacted, very flattered, and then agreed to the other party without hesitation.

Even if he heard Li Tang’s not-so-famous reputation, he unconditionally chose to trust Li Tang under his lover’s rhetoric.

Until he did some part-time job, he saved a necklace that Li Tang casually said he liked, and prepared a surprise for the other party happily.

As a result, on the day of Li Tang’s birthday, he waited for his boyfriend’s breakup before he had time to send out the present.

The original owner asked Li Tang with red eyes: “Obviously, it’s so good, why do you suddenly break up? Don’t make this kind of joke, I can’t bear it, really.”

There were also many people present at the time, all good friends who came to organize a birthday party for Li Tang. One of them didn’t know if it was out of sympathy or other thoughts, so he told him directly: “Don’t be stupid, our Tang brother only dated you because he chose dare in a game.”

At that time, the original owner was at a loss. He looked at his boyfriend in disbelief, trembling and begging for a negative reply: “Is this a fake, is it a lie to me?”

Before he went to bed every day, he would be happy and sweet when he thought about his lover. Was it just a joke from the other party?

Li Tang was taken aback for a moment, and then shrugged: “Don’t you know what my personality is? Actually, I didn’t want to hurt you like this.”

The other party didn’t directly say that it was false, but these two sentences were tacitly acquiescing that the person who just spoke said the truth.

The original owner was exhausted physically and mentally, and suffered this blow again. He didn’t want to accept it, bought a bottle of pesticide, and drank the pesticide secretly on the bed that night.

The reason why he chose to die at school was actually because the original owner had a thought in his heart. Even if he died, he also hoped that he could die in a place where someone knew him. So, when he was dead, the news would reach Li Tang.

Of course, there was also a sense of revenge in his heart. Li Tang killed someone, no matter what the reason, public opinion would affect the other party more or less.

However, the original owner did not die later, and it did have a bad effect, but it was not for Li Tang, but for him.

The original owner had become a fool in others’ mouths, and Li Tang was more attractive in the eyes of others because someone had to die for him.

What a poor silly child, the original owner himself was also at fault, such as being too dependent on others, putting too much emphasis on feelings, and putting himself too lightly.

But what really led to the tragedy was Li Tang, a scumbag who took advantage of others’ goodwill and unscrupulously harmed others.

Lu Yi covered his heart and waited until the strong emotional fluctuations that did not belong to him disappeared, and then began to sort out various information and liquidate all the assets of the original owner.

This year was the first semester of the junior year. There were not many courses in the school. There were only three major classes a week, so the original owner had enough part-time time.

Because the tuition, accommodation and class fees for a year were paid at the beginning of school, he now only needed to pay for his own living expenses and not starve to death.

There was still 600 yuan left in the original owner’s savings card, which was a month of living expenses he left for himself. For Li Tang, he spent all his savings and bought a necklace of 10,000 yuan.

Because of the shock that day, the gift could not be given out, so it was placed in the drawer of the original owner.

Although the original owner was very unlucky to meet the scumbag, the other people in his dormitory were okay. They were not so warm and friendly, but they were not bad. The dormitory was considered to be harmonious. Otherwise, the original owner drank pesticides and committed suicide and would not be found out so quickly.

He had been away for so long, the cards and the like were still there, and the expensive necklace was still there.

Now, in his whole body, the most valuable thing was this necklace.

He turned out the original packaging of the necklace, and it was written in the product information card. Within seven days, if there was a defect or other problem, a full refund could be made. After seven days, only the exchange was non-refundable.

After a month, even if there was a defect, it would not be accepted.

For this kind of thing, it was difficult to negotiate a refund, and Lu Yi didn’t plan to spend energy and time to do this kind of thing.

He searched the Internet, downloaded a second-hand platform trading software, and then hung up the necklace. The necklace was sold at a 20% discount on the market price. The issuing, outer packaging and the entity were all photographed and placed on the platform.

After thinking about it, he posted a post in the school’s official post bar and part-time job group.

The school was so big and there were not many students selling such expensive necklaces.

Originally, buying this kind of luxury goods was for giving gifts, and if the rich didn’t give it away, they wouldn’t be ashamed of selling this thing.

And really rich students would not come to buy such second-hand gifts.

Lu Yi could sell it right away without thinking. He sorted it out. In addition to this necklace, he sorted out all the valuables that Li Tang gave him, took photos, and sold them all.

The two have been dating for half a year. Li Tang gave some things to the original owner, but the original owner didn’t accept the valuable things. Some small things, several hundred or one thousand, would be unhappy even if he rejected Li Tang.

The original owner accepted it, and every time he spent a lot of thoughts in returning the gift.

Of course, the original gift from Li Tang was kept 90% new, and the gift from the original owner, he didn’t know where Li Tang left it.

Now that the two of them were breaking up, these things were of no value to Lu Yi.

For the time being, he didn’t plan to waste time doing the part-time job he used to do, and he doesn’t want to starve himself. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was meat.

When he posted this post, it quickly attracted the attention of some people. Those who manage the school’s official posts were all students at school, including Li Tang’s friends.

Although he didn’t send his name and the id was taken randomly, it was almost as soon as Lu Yi finished posting that someone guessed his identity and notified Li Tang.

At that time, Li Tang was playing black with his roommate, and he didn’t pay attention to the news. After playing the game, he felt angry when he saw it.

He left a message under that post: I want everything from the original poster.

After posting the post, he went directly to Lu Yi’s dormitory. Anyway, it was all boys, and the auntie would not stop him.

Because he didn’t have the key, he knocked on the door vigorously: “Lu Yi, you come out for me!”

Lu Yi ignored him and packed his things on his own.

Li Tang said, “I am the crisp candy in the school post. Can you still sell things?!”

The next second, the door was opened.

Lu Yi saw that it was Li Tang. The first sentence was: “Everything is packed. Which one do you like? If you want it all, I can give you another 5% off.”
