Chapter 555: The Brother Who Was Disliked by Everyone as a Stand-in (05)
Lin Jianshen drank two cups in a row. When Xu Muzhe saw this, he quickly grabbed Lin Jianshen's wrist.
"You drank too fast, it will make you feel uncomfortable."
Lin Jianshen leaned into Xu Muzhe's arms, nuzzling his forehead against Xu Muzhe's chin. Feeling the other's body hardening, a mocking look appeared in his eyes.
What are you pretending for?
It's obvious that anyone who resembles Lin Yi'an should make Xu Muzhe lose control of his desires.
Wasn't this how we tormented him before?
"Sit up first." Xu Muzhe nudged Lin Jianshen's shoulder.
Lin Jianshen not only didn't let go of him, but instead hugged him tighter and tighter, until their bodies were almost pressed together.
Xu Muzhe felt Lin Jianshen's body getting a little hot and couldn't help but swallow.
"You're drunk, let me take you home."
"I'm not drunk." Lin Jianshen stubbornly shook his head. "I'm perfectly sober."
"Stop drinking." Xu Muzhe glanced at his watch. "It's already very late. Don't you have class tomorrow?"
"I've dropped out of school."
Xu Muzhe was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did something upset you? Why are you drinking so much all of a sudden?"
"Yes, I'm very unhappy."
"why?"
Lin Jianshen didn't answer again, he just kept hugging him.
Xu Muzhe had no choice but to let go and let him hold him.
After a while, Lin Jianshen stopped moving. Xu Muzhe looked down and found that he had fallen asleep with his head on his shoulder.
Xu Muzhe sighed helplessly, called the waiter to settle the bill, then picked up the person and walked outside.
He placed the person in the passenger seat, fastened the seatbelt, and then gently patted Lin Jianshen's face.
"Where do you live? I'll take you there."
Lin Jianshen frowned, muttering that he was so sleepy, without opening his eyes even once.
Xu Muzhe was just going through the motions and didn't actually intend to send him back.
He started the car and drove straight to his apartment.
When the car stopped, Lin Jianshen glanced out the window and was momentarily stunned when he realized it was the place where they used to live.
How did I end up here?
He thought Xu Muzhe would take him to the hotel.
Has Xu Muzhe been staying here all this time?
But why?
Lin Yi'an has already returned to China, hasn't he? Their two families live very close to each other, so living at home would make it easier for them to see Lin Yi'an.
Lin Jianshen's mood became complicated, and soon resentment arose again.
Why bring him here? This used to be their home. How can we just bring a stranger here?
Lin Jianshen couldn't help but clench his fists, and immediately closed his eyes again after hearing the door open.
Xu Muzhe picked him up steadily and went to take the elevator.
Upon arriving at the apartment, Xu Muzhe went straight to the bedroom and placed the person on the bed.
Lin Jianshen kept his eyes closed, completely unaware of where he was, only knowing that he was lying on a soft bed.
He didn't open his eyes until the footsteps faded into the distance.
The room was dark, but he had lived there for several years and could recognize it at a glance.
This is... their bed...
Xu Muzhe had just entered the kitchen to get a water glass when he heard the notification sound indicating his corruption level.
[Warning: Darkening value +1%, current target's darkening value is 98%]
Xu Muzhe paused for a moment, then continued with his work as if nothing had happened.
Even the system was getting anxious and quickly said something.
[Host, you should at least take him to the second bedroom. He's hiding his identity right now; if you put him in your room like this, he'll definitely resent you.]
"I don't plan to clear the blackening value right now, as long as it doesn't reach the peak."
The system couldn't understand Xu Muzhe's actions, sighed, and said nothing more.
Xu Muzhe poured himself a glass of warm water, returned to the bedroom, and turned on the bedside lamp.
He saw Lin Jianshen's eyelashes trembling slightly, a smile curved his lips, and doting eyes appeared in his eyes.
She really can't act.
"Get up and have some water." Xu Muzhe helped Lin Jianshen up, holding the water glass to his lips. "Drink before you sleep, or you'll feel awful at night."
Lin Jianshen took a small sip, then frowned and shook his head.
"I'm not drinking anymore, I'm so sleepy."
Xu Muzhe put the cup aside and helped Lin Jianshen lie down.
“I’m in the next room. If you need to find me, just knock on my door anytime.”
Lin Jianshen did not answer.
Xu Muzhe turned off the lights and left the master bedroom.
A few minutes later, Lin Jianshen sat up, turned on the light, and looked around.
The room remained unchanged, just as it had been before his accident.
There's still a photo of him and Xu Muzhe on the wall, which they haven't taken down yet.
Lin Jianshen got out of bed and stroked the photos.
Lin Jianshen posted all the photos; Xu Muzhe wouldn't bother with such things.
But now that Lin Yi'an is back, aren't you afraid that keeping these photos will make Lin Yi'an jealous?
They were in such a hurry to kill him, how come they couldn't even handle something like this?
Lin Jianshen bit his lip until it bled, his eyes revealing hatred.
Regardless of the circumstances, Xu Muzhe has wronged him and must pay the price.

The next day, Xu Muzhe was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
He was frying eggs, completely oblivious to the noise behind him.
Lin Jianshen appeared behind him at some point, staring at Xu Muzhe's back with a sinister look.
He turned his gaze to the kitchen knife, his eyes flashing with coldness, eager to strike.
