The original owner had prepared so much money, and thought happily about going to X city with his little boyfriend.
All kinds of planning strategies had been comprehensively done, and even the tickets had been bought. Of course, the tickets were booked online, and he could go to the place to pick them up the day before the drive.
Lu Yi looked at the original owner’s mobile phone and found that the time was set for tomorrow. It was no wonder that the original owner was in such a hurry to turn out all the money, and even prepared the luggage.
The original owner was willing to be taken advantage of, but Lu Yi refused. After knowing what Zhao Wuchen was up to, he didn’t plan to continue to be someone else’s ATM. It would be a waste to waste the handling fee, he directly refunded the ticket he bought for Zhao Wuchen, the remaining one, he hesitated for a while, but kept it.
Because he was afraid that the accommodation of the hotel would not be as good as the pictures, it was only booked for one day, and it was a standard room, so Lu Yi did not return it.
Lu Yi recalled the attitude of the original owner’s family towards this matter. The original owner’s family knew about the summer vacation after graduating from high school, but they didn’t know that the money that his son had saved for so long was actually spent on the children of the other family.
Originally, Lu Yi’s family was not a particularly wealthy. They had a good relationship. It was nothing to buy a small gift for a few hundred yuan. It was not a big deal for parents to be concerned about money.
Moreover, what Zhao Wuchen meant was that he didn’t plan to make it public in high school, and their relationship was very secretive. In Lu’s mother’s eyes, Zhao Wuchen was just a poor child in the neighbor’s house. There was no problem with the two of them traveling together.
With that money, he couldn’t take his own younger brother out to play, and what kind of outsiders was he bringing? It was not that he had a lot of money and no place to spend.
Originally, Lu Yi didn’t plan to mention the refund to Zhao Wuchen, but thinking that the journey would start in two days, Lu Yi sent a screenshot of the refund to Zhao Wuchen.
Before, when he sent a message to the other party, Zhao Wuchen would usually hang five or six sentences in ten sentences, after all, a goddess or a male god should be reserved, a Gaoling flower1 far away from the bed.
But when the original owner felt that his (ZW) feelings were too weak and he couldn’t hold on, he would show a warm and clingy side, and appropriately give the original owner a little sweetness, a donkey hanging by the carrot.
This time, when Zhao Wuchen saw the news, he felt that Lu Yi was annoyed again, but for the sake of traveling, he still clicked in.
At a glance, he saw the screenshot of the refund sent by Lu Yi.
Anger rushed to his stomach, but when he remembered his image, he still suppressed his swear words, organized for a long time, and sent a big message to Lu Yi.
Zhao Wuchen: Did you listen to messy people again? If you listen to him like this, then you can have a good time with him. I can see through it. Some men just say something nice, so you want me to I beg you. I can’t book a ticket without online banking, you help me book it, I will give you the money, I didn’t say that I will use your money.
After he sent it out, he felt that his emotions and the like were fully expressed. He looked at the screen of the mobile phone and waited for the other party to reply in seconds.
To be honest, although Lu Yi’s conditions were average in all aspects, the advantage was that he was honest and obedient, and he was willing to spend money for him. The mobile phone in his hand was the birthday gift that the other party bought him.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was Lu Yi’s younger brother Lu Er, who always disliked him and spoke ill of him in front of Lu Yi.
80% of the time, it was Lu Er who instigated it. It was very likely that Lu Er even refunded the ticket. After all, Lu Er also lived at home now, so it was not impossible to get his brother’s mobile phone.
Thinking of this, he immediately took a screenshot of the conversation between the two. If Lu Er did it, he would take a screenshot and sent it to Lu Yi, and the other party would definitely compensate him for his ignorant younger brother.
He waited for a long time, but Lu Yi, who always replied to his news in seconds, didn’t respond at all, and became more and more certain that this was what the annoying Lu Er did.
Afraid that his trip would be ruined, he waited five minutes and dialed Lu Yi’s number. Originally, in order to maintain his personality, he rarely took the initiative to call Lu Yi, but at this time, in order to go to X City smoothly, he had no choice.
He also had money in his own hands, but if he went alone, even if he met that person, he would regard it as an ulterior motive.
Therefore, going on a trip with the neighbor’s eldest brother, and the other party insisted on going together, seemed to be a lot of justification, and it would be considered a coincidence.
After waiting for a long time, he couldn’t wait any longer. He called Lu Yi, and when he heard the familiar voice, he complained in a voice of 70% anger and 30% aggrieved: “What is with the screenshot you sent me today? If you really don’t like me, just say so!”
He could imagine Lu Yi’s reply to apologize after seeing the news.
Sure enough, Lu Yi spoke as soon as he finished speaking.
It’s just that his voice was not as tense as he thought, and his tone was very calm: “Then I’ll just say it straight, let’s break up.”
Lu Yi had never been someone who would feel wronged. The current relationship between the two of them was not a husband and wife, there was no legal restraint, and the original owner didn´t owe each other any major favors.
If that was the case, why would he want to maintain this relationship to find unpleasantness for himself.
“Since you said that, I’ll…” On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wuchen was just about to say what he had written earlier, but after a few seconds, he reacted to what Lu had said to him just now.
What a joke, between the two of them, no matter what, he should be the one who dumped Lu Yi, when would it be Lu Yi’s turn to say goodbye to him!
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and all the drafts that he had thought of before were thrown into the corner without knowing where.
Because of his emotional excitement, Zhao Wuchen’s voice even sounded a bit sharp: “Lu Yi, you made it clear to me, what exactly do you mean, let me tell you, in my life, I hate things using breaking up to blackmail me!”
He paused for a while, still feeling that according to Lu Yi’s own character, it would not be good for him to make such a fool all of a sudden. In order to strengthen the credibility of his words, he continued: “Looking at our previous feelings, I can give you a chance, if you want to save it now, apologize to me, it’s still not too late.”
Of course, Lu Yi couldn’t apologize, and he didn’t want to save it at all: “I also hate others blackmailing me about breaking up, so Zhao Wuchen, I think it’s better for us to break up. If that´s all, I’m hanging up.”
The original owner was originally admitted to X City University. Taking advantage of this long vacation, it would be better to go there early to take a look. Staying at home, he had changed so much that it should be easy for the original owner’s parents to find something wrong.
Especially the original owner’s younger brother Lu Er, and the original owner had said before that he wanted to travel, the whole family knew and if he suddenly regretted it, it would be difficult to explain. Lu Yi didn’t like trouble, so he decided to follow the original plan to avoid more troubles.
Zhao Wuchen was completely stunned. He originally thought that Lu Yi would follow the steps he gave, but the other party didn’t. In fact, he didn’t like Lu Yi’s gentle emphasis, but the other party became cold, and he was very uncomfortable.
Hearing that there was no movement on the phone, Lu Yi said directly: “If you have nothing else to do, I will hang up first. As for the ticket, if you really want to travel so much, you can go to the station to buy it yourself, anyway, the summer vacation has just begun, don’t be in a hurry for a day or two.”
Zhao Wuchen himself didn´t have an ID card, so he couldn´t register for the corresponding payment app, but they were really close to the nearest platform, and it took less than ten minutes to get to the train station by bus.
If Zhao Wuchen wanted to go, he could buy it. The shell was clearly an adult in his thirties, who understood everything, he was not a real high school student.
Lu Yi hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to answer.
Zhao Wuchen heard the beeping sound in his hand, and his head was smoking with anger.
After about ten minutes, Lu Yi’s mother knocked on his door: “Lu Yi, come out quickly, Wuchen from next door is looking for you.”
The neighbors were very familiar with each other. Zhao Wuchen was well-behaved and fair, with good academic performance, so his parents were not worried.
Moreover, her eldest son liked this neighbor’s little brother very much, and the two had a good relationship, so Mother Lu naturally wouldn’t hate Zhao Wuchen.
The main reason was that Lu Yi was young now, neither of them had come out of the closet, they were both boys, so their attitudes were slightly more intimate.
Lu Yi put the sorted money into the mezzanine of the suitcase, locked the suitcase, then opened the door, and suddenly saw Zhao Wuchen’s young face.
In all fairness, the appearance of the original owner at this age was indeed unworthy of Zhao Wuchen.
But in terms of feelings, the original owner’s heart was much purer than Zhao Wuchen. What’s more, it was not that the original owner was not good-looking, in fact, the boy just didn’t like to clean up, plus the so-called straight male aesthetic.
Change into a better outfit, shave the beard, trim the eyebrows and the original owner’s skin was definitely not bad, at least it was enough for Zhao Wuchen.
After staring at Zhao Wuchen for a few seconds, Lu Yi asked him, “Is there anything you’re looking for from me? If not, I’ll pack up first.”
What he said was hard, and the mother Lu on the side smoothed out her son: “This child doesn’t speak very well, but he does go on a trip tomorrow, and he doesn’t have much time to greet you, otherwise, Wuchen, you go to tutor Lu Er. After his homework, his grades are really not very good…”
After talking about the topic, Mother Lu habitually talked about her second son.
Zhao Wuchen came here specially to talk to Lu Yi face to face. It was easy to harden his heart over the phone, but he didn’t believe that Lu Yi could looked at his face and still say that kind of thing.
He was still very well-behaved and polite in front of the elders: “Auntie, I’ll go to tutor Lu Er with his homework later, but I want to ask Lu Yi about something, and it won’t take ten minutes.”
Mother Lu immediately sold her eldest son: “Okay, okay, you two talk slowly, Lu Yi, treat people well.”
Lu Yi turned over and let Zhao Wuchen come in. There were some things that really didn’t need to be known to the elders.
Zhao Wuchen raised his head and said, “Lu Yi, don’t run away, look at me, tell me what’s wrong with you”
Lu Yi sighed and asked him, “I said, do you think I’m not good to you, is there anything I’m sorry for?”
Zhao Wuchen didn’t expect him to ask such a question, he paused, and then replied: “You have nothing to be sorry for, and you are also very good to me.”
If it weren’t for the character of Lu Yi, he would not have agreed to date Lu Yi.
He continued: “But…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yi: “Don’t be in a hurry, but wait for me to finish.”
Lu Yi’s expression was calm, and there was no fascination in his eyes: “If you think about me so well, then break up a little more neatly, and I don’t want you to return the things I bought for you before. That’s it, don’t come looking for me in the future.”
Anyway, the things that had been used for a long time, there was not much money to return, and it was still heartbreaking to see.
“What the hell is going on with you, no matter what, you have to give me a reason.” How could Zhao Wuchen be reconciled.
Lu Yi didn’t dodge, and said generously, “I just don’t like you anymore, I don’t feel it, so I broke up.”
Before Zhao Wuchen exploded, he lightly threw a sentence: “Actually, you don’t like me either, so don’t say anything about being sorry. You are not too young, let´s be honest.”
Zhao Wuchen really wanted to defend himself, but looking at the eyes of the person in front of him, Lu Yi’s eyes were clear and bright, giving people the feeling that he already knew something. In front of these eyes, he really couldn’t tell that a lie like he actually liked the other person.
In the end, he just threw a ruthless sentence and fled in a little embarrassment: “Anyway, you’d better not regret it!”
Lu Yi would regret it when his mind is flooded. His goal was not Zhao Wuchen, but to make the original owner have a good life. Getting rid of Zhao Wuchen, the man who stepped on his pedal, was the first step in changing the original owner’s life.
To put it badly, Zhao Wuchen was indeed very scum, but the original main point was not to stick to it, even if Zhao Wuchen was a mosquito, there was no way to suck his blood.
Early the next morning, he dragged his suitcase to the station. He refunded Zhao Wuchen’s ticket, but he still saw the other person at the station.
Sure enough, it was impossible for the other party to give up the chance to meet the white moonlight because of the original owner.
Even if he had money, he must take advantage of others. Lu Yi didn’t understand Zhao Wuchen’s brain circuit very well.
But it didn’t matter if he didn’t understand, he was no longer Zhao Wuchen’s cheap boyfriend, just a neighbor with a normal relationship, that’s all.
