Fire After Rebirth - Chap 28

　”…”

　　Lin Qingyan had nothing to say for a while.

　　Chapter 31 I’m Here, Don’t Be Afraid

　　Lin Qingyan followed behind Gu Fei distractedly, his mind was very confused, he was thinking a lot, so that when he turned a corner, he bumped into a pillar and made a dull “boom”.

　　”…”

　　When Gu Fei turned his head, he saw Lin Qingyan standing in front of the pillar, raising his hand to cover his forehead, blinking his eyes in a daze, and then frowned slightly.

　　Although he didn’t feel the pain, he still wanted to save face.

　　He could hear the jeers from the passers-by, laughing so loudly that it really hit his ears.

　　Gu Fei thought that Lin Qingyan was frowning in pain, so he walked quickly to the young man, “Does it hurt?” As he spoke, he took away the young man’s hand covering his forehead, and immediately saw an obvious scar on the fair skin. Red marks and slightly swollen.

　　Gu Fei: “…”

　　He was astonished and found it amused just like the passers-by who watched the excitement. How could he bump into the pillar after walking well? In the end, he pursed his lips tightly and asked, “Does it hurt?”

　　”It’s okay, let’s go.”

　　Lin Qingyan panicked with embarrassment in his heart, he was on the scene of death, and wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in. After he finished speaking, he grabbed the man’s wrist and walked forward quickly, and he was relieved when he was far away.

　　Then he inadvertently caught a glimpse of him still holding Gu Fei’s wrist, and immediately released it reflexively.

　　Gu Fei didn’t speak, but shifted his eyes from his wrist to Lin Qingyan’s face, with some unclear eyes, Lin Qingyan stuttered again, “Well, shall we go back…go back now?”

　　Gu Fei hummed, and naturally grabbed the young man’s slender wrist, and led him towards the elevator. While the young man’s body was stiff, he explained, “To prevent you from bumping into the pillar in confusion.”

　　Lin Qingyan: “…”

　　I don’t know if he was hallucinating, but he heard a smile in the man’s tone, and it was a mocking smile.

　　There was still some distance to the elevator, and there was no doubt that many passers-by were casting amazed and curious gazes at these two people. Lin Qingyan subconsciously wanted to lower her head to avoid these gazes.

　　It was like a transparent hood enveloping him. Although it wouldn’t suffocate him, it was very stuffy, making him feel panicked.

　　However, a comforting voice came into his ears at this moment: “Don’t be afraid.” At the same time, his wrist was held even tighter, and the warm palm seemed to be transmitting energy to him through skin contact .

　　Gu Fei said: “With me here, don’t be afraid, just raise your head.”

　　Even though his tone was so flat, Lin Qingyan felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, it was so hot that it instantly burned the cover covering him to ashes.

　　He actually raised his head, straightened his waist, and even met the scrutinizing eyes of passers-by, without any fear or anxiety. The passer-by even smiled at him, a purely kind smile.

　　After getting off the elevator and sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, Lin Qingyan was still in a state of contemplation and did not speak.

　　Gu Fei glanced at him, the bump on the young man’s forehead seemed to be more swollen, the bruise on his arm last night hadn’t disappeared, and now he hit another bump, this kid is really…

　　The car slowly drove out of the parking lot, Lin Qingyan watched the city night scene flashing by outside the car window, and the beautiful neon lights were reflected in the boy’s eyes through the windshield.

　　He looked at the man next to him who was concentrating on driving, his clear eyes became brighter and brighter, but it’s really nothing, isn’t it?

　　Why be afraid.

　　God gave him a chance to be born again, and he couldn’t let it down.

　　”Gu Fei.”

　　It was the first time he heard the boy call his name, Gu Fei looked at him in surprise, “Huh?”

　　Lin Qingyan said, “I won’t be afraid anymore.”

　　Gu Fei hummed, and the sharp lines on his face softened, making him look even more charming under the night light. Lin Qingyan looked at his profile, and suddenly wanted to close her eyes and reach out to touch the man’s face.

　　Is it the feeling in the memory of the last life before death?

　　I have to find a chance to touch it later.

　　Lin Qingyan was thinking about something in his heart, when Gu Fei suddenly stretched out his hand in front of him, he felt a little frightened as if he had a guilty conscience, and saw that there was an extra plum sugar in the open palm in front of him, and he took it out from nowhere.

　　Gu Fei asked him if he would eat.

　　Lin Qingyan calmed down, took the plum candy, and said thank you. He unwrapped the package and stuffed the candy into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth.

　　The candy in his mouth turned from left to right, and then from right to left, Lin Qingyan hesitated for a while, before asking: “Do you like this kind of plum candy very much?”

　　Gu Fei nodded, “Yes.”

　　Although we didn’t get along for a short time, Lin Qingyan had a deep understanding of how taciturn this master is. He thought that Gu Fei would answer with a hum, but he paused for two seconds and added:

　　”I used to have a child who liked to eat it very much, so it has become a habit to carry it with me.”

　　Lin Qingyan obviously did not expect this kind of answer. He noticed that when the man spoke, his tone softened unconsciously. Presumably the “child” he mentioned must be someone very important to him.

　　Lin Qingyan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

　　Suddenly I envied that child a little bit, thinking this way, plum candy would not be sweet even if I had it in my mouth.

　　Tasting this somewhat unpleasant plum candy, Lin Qingyan’s memory drifted away with it.

　　This plum candy is Lin Qingyan’s only “sweet” memory of his childhood. His family’s conditions have always been poor. There are no delicious snacks, no fun toys, and even pocket money.

　　There is no child who is not greedy. He is very envious when he sees other students eating snacks, but he dare not ask his parents for money. Usually, he asks for money to buy stationery, homework, etc., and his mother is merciless. If you don’t want to, you can chatter for a long time with a dark face.
