Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Lu Quan is L

Lu Manman's words made Liang Zhixia move his eyes to the avatar. He pointed at L's black-background avatar and said, "Are you talking about this black picture?"

An inexplicable absurdity surged in his heart. Doubts and confusion were like wildly growing vines, tightly wrapping around him.

The kid in his arms shook his little feet and poked the avatar with his chubby fingers: "Yes, my brother is also black like this."

He was a little stunned, and the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipated. Lu Manman meant that Lu Quan had an account with a black background.

This didn't mean anything.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and his shoulders relaxed. He just thought Lu Quan was L. He raised his hand and pinched Lu Manman's face, muttering softly: "You scared me to death."

Lu Manman didn't know what was going on. He held the remote control and pressed it back and forth, having a lot of fun.

L's messages on the phone continued to come.

L asked him if he had time to video chat in the evening.

He put his arm around Lu Manman and lowered his head to type.

Just as his fingertips were about to land on "no", he suddenly deleted the words he had typed and replied "yes".

His soft fingertips gently caressed Lu Manman's chubby little face, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the cartoon in front of him.

In the picture, the superhero protagonist threw a photo in front of the defeated villain and laughed: "We have known your plan for a long time. Do you think we won't recognize you if you wear a vest?"

The photo shows the villain secretly eating a durian-flavored cake.

The superhero protagonist: "Only you like to eat durian-flavored cakes. This is your flaw!"

Liang Zhixia pursed his lips, his eyes were dark and unclear, and no one could see what he was thinking.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

The housekeeper came over and said: "The master and the lady are on their way back. Do you plan to leave now, or..."

"-Leave now!"

Liang Zhixia didn't want to meet Lu Manman's parents.

Mr. Butler immediately prepared a driver for him. When the car drove out of the gate of the community, a low-key and luxurious black car drove past the window.

Liang Zhixia had some guesses about this, and retracted his gaze to the road ahead. From time

to time, Lu Manman's words flashed through his mind, as well as the familiar photo in Lu Quan's mobile phone album.

No... maybe.

He was a little uncertain again.

How could Lu Quan do such a boring thing.

It must be a coincidence.

Back to the dormitory, Lu Quan was not there.

After taking a shower, he lay on the table and drew comics for a while, and then looked at the comments on the Weibo account.

When nine o'clock arrived, the video ringtone rang on the phone on time.

He answered the video.

There was only a boss chair on the screen, and no figure of L.

He frowned and asked in confusion, "L?"

"Here." L's voice came from outside the camera, and then a hand came into the camera, cold white fingers hooked the coffee cup and placed it on the table, "Zhizhi, did you miss me?"

Lu Quan sat on a chair, wearing a white high-end custom-made shirt. He slowly unbuttoned the top button, revealing his delicate collarbone. His deep eyes fell on the screen of his mobile phone, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

"Zhizhi?"

"Ah? Oh." Liang Zhixia replied a little slowly, "Yeah."

Lu Quan's fingers moved slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth paused slightly: "What's wrong with Zhizhi? You look absent-minded."

Liang Zhixia, who was outside the camera, took back his hand on the screenshot button, pretended to cough twice and said: "No, I haven't seen you for several days, and I miss you a little."

He never said such disgusting words to L, but the effect was obvious. L would not pursue his absent-mindedness just now.

The man chuckled and said, "I miss Zhizhi too."

At the same time, Lu Quan turned on the surveillance video installed on the computer, and Liang Zhixia's figure instantly appeared in the surveillance.

The boy was wearing the loose pajamas that had been washed white, curled up in a chair, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.

Lu Quan's eyes were subconsciously gentle, and he whispered: "What does Zhizhi think of me?"

Liang Zhixia's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he scratched his head again, opened the notebook on the table, and quickly turned to the page of knowledge points.

"I miss you every moment, eating, sleeping, and attending classes."

He didn't give L a chance to speak, and asked back: "What are you doing recently? I feel you are so busy."

Lu Quan's brows relaxed slightly, and Zhizhi took the initiative to care about him.

He said: "I'm on a business trip, but I promise to make time to chat with Zhizhi every day."

Liang Zhixia held her cheek, took a sip of pearls, and said vaguely: "Are you on a business trip today?"

Lu Quan on the other side of the video was immersed in Zhizhi's concern for him, and blurted out: "Yes, I went on a business trip this afternoon, bringing two assistants and four colleagues."

Liang Zhixia just wanted to know the time, not to check on him.

But the other party didn't seem to think so, and kept saying to report.

"The assistant booked four rooms. They will stay in one room, and I will stay alone."

As he said that, L picked up his phone and took pictures of every corner of the hotel suite to prove that he was not lying.

"..."

Liang Zhixia: "I don't disbelieve you."

L: "I want you to check."

Liang Zhixia touched the edge of the phone case, glancing back and forth.

He tentatively asked: "L, we agreed to date for a month. Do you remember?"

The video was silent.

Liang Zhixia unconsciously took a light breath and asked again: "Do you remember?"

After a long time, just when he thought L was stuck, L spoke.

L: "I remember."

Liang Zhixia hummed: "Then there are still ten days."

Silence.

Still silence.

After a long silence, L's voice came from the video: "Zhizhi remembers it very clearly."

The man's voice was hoarse and restrained, with a sense of danger that a storm was about to come.

Liang Zhixia pursed his lips. At first, he was ready to be harassed by L, but L had no intention of harassing him. Instead, he showed concern for him, made voice calls and video calls, and chatted with him in a sticky manner, as if they were in love.

He whispered, "This is what we agreed on at the beginning. We will have a fake relationship for a month. You won't regret it, will you?"

L laughed softly, "Of course not."

After hanging up the video, in the hotel suite, the blackened mobile phone screen showed Lu Quan's expressionless face. He stood up and stood in front of the French window, looking at the thousands of lights outside, his eyes deep and bottomless.

A moment later, the assistant who was eating a lot outside received a call from his boss.

"Try to finish the work here in four days."

The ice cream in the assistant's hand fell to the ground with a snap, just like his current mood.

Four days?

Then he might as well jump off the building.

*

In the dormitory, Liang Zhixia turned off the lights, took his mobile phone and tablet to the bed, and pulled the bed curtains.

Nothing could be seen in the surveillance screen.

Lu Quan cut to the small window and fixed it, concentrating on handling official business. He wanted to go back early. He was far away in a foreign country. If something really happened, he would have no way to deal with it.

The small table lamp on the bed was turned on, emitting a weak eye-protecting light, illuminating every corner of the bed.

There was a piece of white paper on the small table. Liang Zhixia opened the pen cap and lowered his head to write and draw on it.

L said that he was on a business trip today, and Xu Chengfa's circle of friends also said that Lu Quan was on a business trip today.

L is in City A, and Lu Quan is also in City A.

The light fell into his eyes, and his light brown eyes flickered slightly. L sent him a courier, and the courier should have his personal information.

He turned on his phone and sent a message to the courier.

After a while, the courier replied to him.

"Sorry, the company has regulations that we cannot disclose the personal information of customers at will."

It seems that this road is not feasible.

He recalled everything that had happened since the start of school. Lu Quan had a serious mysophobia and didn't like him very much.

It was not until that night that Lu Quan changed his attitude towards him.

When Lu Quan returned to the dormitory that day, he drank a lot of wine and was holding the panda doll he had given away in his arms. Now that he thinks about it, Lu Quan was very strange that night. It was also from that night that Lu Quan's mysophobia suddenly disappeared.

And the next day, L, who he thought had blocked him, also sent him a message.

Could it be a coincidence?

If it was really what he thought, Liang Zhixia's face flushed, he covered his face and bent over, and his forehead knocked on the edge of the table, making a light sound.

Oh, right!

There is also a courier!

The courier can't tell him, but he can go back and check it himself. It happens to be a few days before the National Day, and Lu Quan is on a business trip.

This is a rare opportunity.

He looked at L's profile picture on his phone, and then turned to Lu Quan's profile picture on another account. The two had no similarities.

However, L's profile picture really fits Lu Quan's aloof temperament.

He put down his phone and rubbed his swollen temples. He couldn't think about it anymore. He would know the truth in a few days.

The next day.

Liang Zhixia walked on the campus and found that there were many awnings on an open space leading to the teaching building, and in front of each awning was a sign with the words "xx club" written on it.

Today is the day for club recruitment, which the class monitor had posted in the class group.

Every club has talented people, and there are even boys wearing women's clothes, standing in front of the stalls, swinging their bodies, and dancing very uncoordinated dances.

He retracted his gaze and hurried towards the teaching building where he would have class today.

After class, he went to the club recruitment place with Jiang Ling and Fan Li. The class monitor had posted the situation of each club recruiting new members in the class group.

Jiang Ling looked around and said, "Which club do you want to join?"

Fan Li looked around and said dryly, "I don't know. My choice phobia is about to strike."

The two of them looked at Liang Zhixia, who had not spoken.

Liang Zhixia looked around slowly and said, "Let's take a look first."

The three of them separated and walked towards the clubs they were interested in.

Liang Zhixia stopped walking. He didn't want to join any club, but joining a club would help him get the credits for the second course, which was social practice.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"Junior brother!"

Someone patted his shoulder fiercely, and Liang Zhixia turned around and saw Xu Cheng with a smile on his face.

"Senior."

Xu Cheng put his arm around his shoulder and took him to a club booth. With a wave of his hand, someone brought two benches.

Liang Zhixia was forced to sit on the chair, and Xu Cheng took a club leaflet from the table.

It's called the Youth Who Let Their Ideals Fly.

Xu Cheng: "Are you coming? It's my club, I'll protect you."

Liang Zhixia hesitated: "Is Brother Lu here too?"

Xu Cheng shook his head: "He doesn't participate in club activities, he thinks it's boring."

Liang Zhixia looked at the words on the club's flyer: "Senior, what is this club for?"

Xu Cheng stretched out his fingers and made an eight.

"Eat, drink, play, everything."

Liang Zhixia looked a little confused, he didn't understand what Xu Cheng meant.

The boy sitting on the other side came over and whispered: "It's a club where you can play and eat as you like. There are no requirements, and you are not forced to participate in any activities, but you will still get extra credits."

"We have someone in the student union."

The boy pointed up.

"..."

Before entering society, he already has someone in the upper position.

Liang Zhixia thought about it, and finally agreed to join.

He took out the drink he bought during the break from his bag and gave it to Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, junior."

As soon as Liang Zhixia left Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng took a photo of the drink in a mean way and sent it to Lu Quan on the other side of the ocean.

"My junior is so nice. He sent me another bottle of drink. How did he know that I like this flavor of drink the most?"

Almost as soon as he sent the message, the other party replied with only a short sentence.

[Don't drink it. Wait until I come back. ]

Xu Cheng would not listen to him. Lu Quan could not come back immediately. He happily opened the bottle cap and gulped down half a bottle.

On the other side, Liang Zhixia, Jiang Ling and Fan Li made an appointment on the phone to meet in the cafeteria.

He was about to go to the place where the club was recruiting new members when he bumped into Lin Jie.

Lin Jie showed his white teeth, scratched his head and said, "Xia Xia, did I hurt you?"

Liang Zhixia shook his head: "No."

Several boys with Lin Jie made a noise: "Xia Xia~ I didn't hurt you~"

Lin Jie frowned slightly: "Don't shout nonsense."

Several boys laughed and left in a playful manner.

Lin Jie said embarrassedly: "They are talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Liang Zhixia smiled and said: "It's okay."

Lin Jie joined a club when he was a freshman, and smiled and said: "Do you want me to recommend a few interesting clubs to you?"

He was just about to shake his head and say that he had already joined the club when he heard Lin Jie say with great interest: "I know there is a club that is very suitable for you."

His interest was piqued: "Which one?"

Lin Jie: "The Comics Club, our school's ace club, it's full of big shots."

Liang Zhixia's brain turned and he raised his eyebrows: "You are in it too? Big shot Lin Jie?"

Lin Jie blushed and chuckled twice: "I am in it, but I'm not a big shot. There are also many beginners like me."

He has been drawing comics alone and has never had any communication with other people in the circle. He was a little moved when Lin Jie said that.

Suddenly, he thought of what Lin Jie had promised before, and said, "You said last time that when we meet again, you would tell me how you knew that I drew my WeChat avatar myself."

Lin Jie walked closer, bent down and whispered in the boy's ear, "You mean Xia Xia doesn't like Xia Tian."

Liang Zhixia's pupils shrank slightly, shook his head, and blinked his eyelashes quickly. His first reaction was to deny: "It's not me." "

Xia Xia doesn't like Xia Tian" is his Weibo account nickname. He has never told anyone about it, and he didn't expect it to be exposed so directly.

Lin Jie didn't ask him to admit it again, but only said: "There is only one copy of your WeChat avatar on the entire network. When you posted it, it was full of watermarks and said it was for your own use."

Liang Zhixia remembered that he did say that he wanted to use this avatar for himself, but that was several years ago.

At that time, he was just a small transparent person with only a few dozen fans.

"You..." He opened his mouth, "..."

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "This is a secret between the two of us."

Liang Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, and the corner of her mouth rose: "Okay."

At the same time, Xu Cheng was video chatting with Lu Quan. He was looking for Liang Zhixia all over the place, and Lu Quan insisted on taking a look at his roommate.

Lu Quan finally made a request, how could he, as a brother, not satisfy it.

Finally, he finally found Liang Zhixia in front of the comics club. Just as he was about to walk over, Lu Quan said in a low voice: "Don't go over."

Xu Cheng stood in the shade of the tree, and the camera turned outward to face Liang Zhixia not far away.

But there was not only Zhizhi in the camera, but also another annoying person.

Lu Quan was far away abroad, and he could only watch the two people get close to each other, looking down and not knowing what they were talking about.

With deep eyes and cold eyes, he lowered his head and sent a message to Zhizhi.

But I don't know if it was because there were too many people in the new club and it was noisy, Zhizhi didn't reply to his message.

Anxiety was surging in his heart. He took a deep breath and said to Xu Cheng: "You, now, go over and separate the two of them."

Xu Cheng stood up and stretched his legs, and said in a puzzled tone: "Why? Isn't it good that my junior has made a new friend?"

In Xu Cheng's opinion, college should make friends widely.

He looked at Lu Quan's cold face in the video and suddenly realized: "You are so possessive of your roommate?!"

As for Lu Quan, apart from the period of time when he was a child, Xu Cheng remembered that Lu Quan was very possessive of his things after he went to middle school, so much so that

he couldn't bear to let others look at him for more than a second. But later, he learned to hide his emotions.

So he just reacted now.

He advised earnestly: "My junior is an individual, you shouldn't be so possessive of him, okay? You can be possessive of the person you like, why do you also have a possessiveness for my junior? Is it because he is your roommate?"

Lu Quan's eyes were cold and his voice was more like ice.

"He's the one I like."

Lu Quan came out unexpectedly, leaving Xu Cheng no time to react.

He opened his mouth blankly, and after a moment he covered his face and screamed. When others looked over, he hid behind a tree and squatted on the ground.

"Are you kidding me, Lu Quan? Speak!"

Lu Quan said calmly: "I'm not kidding."

Xu Cheng pulled his hair: "Do your parents know? How could you like your junior? No, when did you like him? Don't you hate him very much?"

There were too many questions in his mind.

Lu Quan only answered the first question: "I have informed them."

Xu Cheng poked his head out from behind the tree and looked at Liang Zhixia stealthily, but now he was not just looking at his junior, but at the person his good brother liked.

Once Lu Quan has made up his mind, it is almost impossible to change it. He said dryly: "Does the junior know?"

Lu Quan frowned and said: "He doesn't know yet, don't tell him yet."

Xu Cheng scratched his head. This was the first time he encountered such a thing. His expression was tangled: "I don't think the junior likes boys."

Lu Quan: "He can only like me."

"..."

Xu Cheng's persuasion came to an abrupt end. Lu Quan was too paranoid.

In the video, the man was sitting on a chair, with his hands crossed and placed on the table. Under the highlight of the overhead light, his outline became deeper and darker.

Xu Cheng took a deep breath and said: "Okay, then I'll go and find out for you first."

What else can he do? Lu Quan finally fell in love with someone.

He didn't hang up the video, but just put the phone in his pocket, but halfway through, he suddenly remembered that he had said before that he would help the two of them get along well, but it turned out that Lu Quan had already liked her.

"..."

In front of the comics club's stall, Liang Zhixia had just written her personal information on the registration form when she heard Xu Cheng's voice.

"Hmm? Junior, are you interested in comics?"

Liang Zhixia straightened up and looked at Xu Cheng, who was squeezed between him and Lin Jie, in surprise. After hearing what he said, he nodded.

"A little interested."

Xu Cheng tapped the phone case with his fingers, glanced down at the name in the table, and smiled and said, "Junior, your handwriting is very beautiful."

Liang Zhixia, who was inexplicably praised, said a little confusedly, "Thank you, senior."

For the first time, Xu Cheng felt that he didn't know what to say. Those words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them at all

. It's too difficult to look after someone your brother likes.

He might as well not know about this.

So after successfully preventing the junior and Lin Jie from being alone together, he sent a message to Qu Yizhou for help.

[Xu Cheng]: Save me! Save me! Do you know who Lu Quan likes?

[Xu Cheng]: He told me today that he likes his roommate!

[Xu Cheng]: It's the boy last time, you met him, he looks very good! ! !

[Xu Cheng]: Why is my brother gay? ? ?

Ding Dong -

Qu Yizhou's message came.

[Qu Yizhou]: I know.

Xu Cheng's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

So he was the only one who didn't know about this? ? ?

On the other side.

Liang Zhixia rejected Lin Jie's invitation to dinner. Jiang Ling and Fan Li were already waiting for him in the cafeteria.

What he didn't expect was that Xu Cheng followed him to the cafeteria.

And after finishing the meal, he sat with him.

Jiang Ling and Fan Li looked at each other, eating silently, with gossip in their eyes.

Liang Zhixia: "..."

He knew that no one could resist the charm of gossip, but he couldn't be the one involved.

He picked up the chopsticks to eat, but felt that Xu Cheng's eyes were always lingering on his face, making him unable to eat.

"Senior, is there something wrong?"

Xu Cheng looked embarrassed, and suddenly his brows relaxed slightly. He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and handed it to him.

The mobile phone was slightly hot because of the long-term video.

Liang Zhixia looked at it curiously, his expression paused slightly, and his mouth opened slightly: "Brother Lu?"

Xu Cheng immediately took out a small foldable mobile phone holder from his pocket, put the mobile phone on it steadily, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.

Liang Zhixia was very confused. He glanced at Xu Cheng who was busy eating, and then at Lu Quan on his phone.

The other party seemed to be in a restaurant, with a characteristic photo of the restaurant hanging behind him.

In the end, Lu Quan spoke first.

"What is Xia Xia eating?"

Liang Zhixia picked up the plate and showed it to the other party as if following an order. They were all very ordinary and cheap dishes.

In return, he also asked Lu Quan what he was eating.

Lu Quan turned the camera over and introduced him one by one in a low voice.

After the introduction, Lu Quan's face appeared in the video again.

Lu Quan: "Are you used to sleeping alone at night?"

Liang Zhixia was confused and nodded: "I am used to it."

It's just a little too quiet.

Lu Quan saw the emotion in his eyes and said in a gentle voice: "I will be back to school soon."

Liang Zhixia's eyes widened slightly, and he blurted out in confusion: "Aren't you on a business trip for a week?"

Lu Quan: "Who told you?"

He: "I saw it from senior Xu Cheng's circle of friends."

Lu Quan looked at Liang Zhixia's clear eyes, and suddenly felt uneasy.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Yes, I will be back in a week after my business trip."

He had to go back early, but Zhizhi couldn't let him know.

Liang Zhixia looked up at Xu Cheng who was pretending to be a quail, and then looked at Lu Quan in the video.

Just as the other party raised his hand, his eyes paused instantly.

The watch on Lu Quan's wrist was exactly the same as the watch on L's wrist last night.

He looked at Lu Quan's bony fingers one by one, and all of L's fingers appeared in his mind at the same time. The length, outline, and lines of each finger were almost the same.

The previous coincidence seemed not to be a coincidence.

Lu Quan is L.

L... is Lu Quan.
