Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Song Linchu supported his head, receiving the surging memories.
Tan Yue was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation. He embraced Song Linchu, and his warm breath brushed against his earlobe.
Looking at his earlobes that had turned red without him doing anything, Tan Yue finally acted like a person with a conscious. He soothed him with a whisper, “Don’t worry, no one will come in.”
Song Linchu glanced at him.
His eyes carried a complex expression.
Although the man was dressed casually, he couldn’t hide his elegance and temperament.
He was a natural commander, standing at the top of the pyramid, completely different from Song Linchu, who was struggling at the bottom and trying to make a living.
Song Linchu had been wondering all along, how could someone as successful as him, who had encountered all kinds of people, suddenly notice an ordinary college student like him? Even though his appearance was better than others, Tan Yue must have encountered people who were more attractive than him.
Moreover, he didn’t seem like the kind of person who judged solely based on appearances.
This question troubled Song Linchu. Even when Tan Yue didn’t contact him much during his business trips, he felt a bit inferior and thought that Tan Yue was only playing with him and had grown tired of him, so he didn’t bother making an effort.
Now, Song Linchu finally understood.
Love at first sight? If he hadn’t pursued this bastard for nearly half a year, would they have a story?
Damn you, bastard!
When he pursued him before, he would at most use seductive methods to tease him, thinking that he was a terminally ill patient, so he took care of him meticulously.
But now, it was his turn to pursue him, yet he was playing with him and even bullying him like this!
And this scumbag was so shameless, taking advantage even of an 18-year-old who had just come of age!
Thinking about how he was taken advantage of twice the night before, to the point of crying, Song Linchu was furious.
Tan Yue held him, and the office chair turned to face the floor-to-ceiling windows.
“I bought a house there, so it will be convenient for you to go to school and work in the future.”
Tan Yue pointed towards a villa area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Song Linchu followed his gaze and saw the villa area where he had previously bought a house. The difference was that it was now under construction, unlike three years later when it was completed and there was row upon row of brand-new villas.
“What does your house have to do with me?” Song Linchu intentionally provoked him.
Hmph, all you know is how to show off.
Upon hearing this, Tan Yue tightened his hand that was around Song Linchu’s waist, and his voice caressed his ear, “Well, do you want to share it with me?”
Song Linchu blinked.
“Is it so easy to share?” Song Linchu looked at the tip of his shoes and asked, “Do you have any conditions?”
Tan Yue’s voice was decisive, “No.”
Song Linchu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He thought the dog man would take this opportunity to make some demands.
But although Tan Yue was despicable, he had always been unconditional in his kindness towards him.
By saying no, he probably wanted to let him know that his kindness was pure and heartfelt, not merely to satisfy his material desires like spoiling a lover after having sex with them.
Song Linchu pursed his lips.
He guessed that the 18-year-old him would fall for this trick.
What a pity…
Song Linchu turned his head, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Tan Yue.
Tan Yue also looked at him.
The morning sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the youth’s already fair skin appear even more translucent and radiant, as if it would glow.
Flickering specks of light scattered into his bright and clear eyes, and Tan Yue was reminded of the chaotic light reflected in the aggrieved eyes of the youth last night.
“What is it?” Tan Yue suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked in a low voice.
Song Linchu didn’t say anything. Under the man’s intense gaze, he suddenly leaned down and bit his rolling Adam’s apple.
Tan Yue’s hand around the young man’s waist tightened once again.
Even if it was the 21-year-old future Song Linchu, he would use verbal teasing but when it came to action, he shrank faster than a turtle.
He didn’t expect that the shy youth who just wanted to find a hole to hide in would be so proactive.
Tan Yue just wanted to tell him that he didn’t need to do this, that he was good to him without any ulterior motives. But the rare initiative of the young man left him speechless.
A tingling sensation, like the flick of a fish’s tail, spread from his neck, wet and slippery, sticky and greasy.
Outside, tall buildings stood, silently observing this hidden and open corner, taking in the scene of the mischievous young man.
Something in the air was gathering and thickening, wordlessly communicating and restless.
Tan Yue’s hand around the young man’s waist tightened even more.
Song Linchu liked Tan Yue’s Adam’s apple. With a gentle bite, he felt the annoying belt digging into him shamelessly.
As the man took the initiative and his hand lifted the hem of his T-shirt, Song Linchu suddenly jolted as if pricked by a needle.
Tan Yue was caught off guard and he managed to run away.
“Huh?” Tan Yue’s gaze turned towards him, emitting a one-syllable sound of confusion.
Even though he was no longer a gentleman in certain aspects, his demeanor remained cold and indifferent. If it were the young Song Linchu, he would have felt intimidated and probably compromised and let him do whatever he wanted in the office.
But now, the current Song Linchu…
Song Linchu grinned and said, “I suddenly remembered that I haven’t seen what my workstation looks like. I’ll go take a look first. Gege, you do as you please. Bye-bye.”
Without waiting for Tan Yue to say anything, Song Linchu opened the office door and swiftly left, considerately closing the office door behind him.
Just as the door was about to close, it was pushed open again, and the young man’s head peeked out through the gap, smiling slyly. “Oh, by the way, gege, it seems like there are no tissues in the office. Be careful not to make a mess elsewhere. It’s difficult to clean up.”
With that, the door slammed shut, leaving Tan Yue and the outline of his belt staring at each other.
Nothing was more painful than coming to an abrupt halt.
Of course, Tan Yue wouldn’t really do anything in the office. Once the young man left, everything became dull and tasteless. In just a moment, the heat faded away, and Tan Yue reverted to being the cold and aloof older man with no desires or demands.
His mind also cooled down.
It was only then that Tan Yue realized something was off.
The young Song Linchu would never call him “gege” unless he was coerced.
Moreover, although was prickly all over, he was actually obedient and shy, as innocent and pure as a blank sheet of paper, even a little afraid of him. He wouldn’t intentionally tease him and then run away like this.
Tan Yue covered his eyes with his hand and chuckled softly. It was obviously someone he was familiar with…
Song Linchu had asked HR and learned that the design department occupied an entire floor, right downstairs.
The name tags were placed on the office desk, and he easily found his workstation.
The office building where Loe was located had a circular design, with floor-to-ceiling windows in every office, providing excellent natural light.
The office space was open-plan, probably designed to ensure that the designers wouldn’t be disturbed while seeking inspiration. Each workstation was well spaced apart, adjacent to the floor-to-ceiling windows. With just a turn of the head, one could gaze upon the serene world outside.
Moreover, the glass was electronically controllable, allowing the adjustment of brightness. During scorching summer days or direct sunlight, the glass could be adjusted to block the light, preventing any impact on vision.
There was also a leisure discussion area, coffee lounge, recreational zone, jewelry display area, and a row of spacious bookshelves. It was so comfortable that it didn’t feel like a workplace, but rather a place of indulgence.
The office environment was extraordinary.
Despite having memories of the next three years, which could be considered as having seen a fair share of the world, Song Linchu was still amazed by the luxurious working environment here.
One can only imagine how moved he would have been if he hadn’t recovered these memories.
Presumably, not only would tan Yue be fed during work hours, he would also be fed when he returns home in the evening.
That dog man Tan Yue, he fooled his 18-year-old self.
Speaking of dog men, one had just arrived.
When Song Linchu saw him at the door, he deliberately took out his phone and glanced at it, then meaningfully remarked, “Wow, only five minutes.”
Tan Yue: “.…”
The originally expressionless Tan Yue almost stumbled on his feet. He wished he could grab that person right away and show him that he could last for more than just five minutes.
He looked at a certain someone with a cunning smile and couldn’t do anything about it. He asked, “When did you remember?”
Song Linchu, knowing that he had been discovered, didn’t hide it either. He blinked and said, “Guess.”
Tan Yue actually guessed it correctly, and quite accurately at that, “After entering my office.”
Song Linchu snorted coldly and confronted him, “So, you enjoyed taking advantage of my innocence.”
Tan Yue silently agreed in his heart but maintained a serious expression, “No.”
“In other words,” Song Linchu mischievously continued, “you haven’t enjoyed taking advantage of my innocence.”
Tan Yue: “.…”
Tan Yue couldn’t argue with him and helplessly rubbed his forehead, forcibly changing the topic, “Do you know more about this aspect? Do you know what’s happening now?”
They both became three years younger, and things became very strange.
It was unclear if it was just the two of them or if everyone else was the same.
For now, it seemed that only the two of them were experiencing this. Tan Yue had tested the people around him and could be fairly certain that they didn’t have memories of the future.
If it was only the two of them, then Tan Yue had a tremendous advantage. After all, he was a businessman who knew about future opportunities and could seize the market in advance.
It could be said that as long as his ambitions were great enough, his career could rise countless levels higher than before.
Song Linchu was indeed intrigued by this topic. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Do you want to know which memories I have of that time?”
Tan Yue nodded.
“My last memories of the future end yesterday. In my memories, you were fine in the future, and didn’t disappear or anything like that. In other words, two of you and two of me exist in different times.”
Tan Yue nodded thoughtfully.
In other words, the timeline they were currently in had no connection to the future. Rather than saying it was reincarnation, it was more accurate to say that they accidentally gained the memories of their counterparts from another timeline.
Tan Yue felt relieved. He had been worried during this period that his future self had disappeared, leaving Song Linchu all alone. How sad and heartbroken would he be?
Fortunately, he was still here…
Although Tan Yue had diverted Song Linchu’s attention, it didn’t mean that he could easily brush off the fact that he had been taken advantage of.
Song Linchu was quite vengeful!
So, in the evening, when Tan Yue invited him to go home together, Song Linchu firmly refused, citing that he had classes the next day.
Tan Yue knew he was in the wrong but couldn’t do anything about it. He could only take Song Linchu back to school.
Of course, leaving the dog man alone in the empty house wouldn’t appease Song Linchu’s deep-seated resentment. He must teach him a lesson and vent his anger for his 18-year-old self.
That night, when Song Linchu was taking a shower, he deliberately brought his phone into the bathroom.
It was already deep autumn, and the weather was a bit chilly. After showering, the steam lingered on the bathroom mirror, creating a hazy veil.
Song Linchu used a tissue to wipe off the condensation from the middle of the mirror, revealing a clear space, and then took out his phone.
When he was getting dressed, he didn’t immediately put on his sleepwear. Instead, he wore the school uniform jacket. The young man reflected in the mirror looked clean and youthful, resembling a high school student who hadn’t graduated yet.
The zipper on the school uniform jacket was only partially closed, exposing the young man’s slender chest.
And hidden in the misty veil, were a pair of legs faintly visible.
With just one glance, it was clear that the young man was only wearing a school uniform jacket.
However, the person in the mirror had an innocent and bewildered expression, with wet hair obediently hanging down, resembling an inexperienced youth who had no knowledge of the world, completely unaware of how alluring his pose was.
Perfect, too perfect.
After taking the photo, Song Linchu changed into his sleepwear and calmly walked out of the bathroom. His roommates were all busy with their own activities, completely unaware of what he had just done in the bathroom.
Late at night, when everything was quiet, Song Linchu sent the photo to Tan Yue’s chat box.
Tan Yue had just finished showering and was about to blow-dry his hair when he heard the notification sound from WeChat. He picked up his phone and saw that Song Linchu had proactively messaged him, and his expression softened.
Although the more mature Song Linchu was not as easily fooled, Tan Yue’s numerous attempts to win him over had not been in vain.
See, he even took the initiative. Unlike the young Song Linchu, where he had to message him first before getting a reply.
With this in mind, he opened Song Linchu’s chat box.
Little Songlin: [(Photo)]
Little Songlin: [Gege, I’m hungry, I want…]
Tan Yue: “…”
