Chapter 561: The Brother Who Was Disliked by Everyone as a Stand-in (11)
After that day, Lin Jianshen pestered Xu Muzhe every day, and would go to his school whenever he had free time.
Xu Muzhe always pretended not to see him, going about his business as usual, and brushed past him.
After several attempts, Lin Jianshen could no longer contain himself and deliberately got drunk, waiting downstairs at the apartment building.
Xu Muzhe had just returned from school when he saw Lin Jianshen drunk.
He frowned and walked up to Lin Jianshen.
"Are you drinking again?"
Lin Jianshen looked up at Xu Muzhe and then smiled.
“Yeah.” Lin Jianshen looked clearly a little out of it, and his speech was somewhat slurred. “I’m so unhappy. You’re always avoiding me.”
"Where did you park your car?" Xu Muzhe looked around. "I'll find a designated driver to take you home."
[Host, why don't you soften your stance? If you keep pushing him away like this, what if he really never comes again?]
Xu Muzhe did not respond to the system's words and continued to look at Lin Jianshen's face.
"No, I don't want to go back." Lin Jianshen turned his face away and said stubbornly, "If you don't want to care about me, then don't care about anything at all."
Xu Muzhe stared at him for a while, then finally sighed, squatted down, and picked him up.
Lin Jianshen thought Xu Muzhe was going to send him back, and began to struggle, "I don't want to go back."
Seeing that he was really restless, Xu Muzhe slapped his butt a little angrily, "Be good! Go to my house to sober up first."
Lin Jianshen sobered up considerably after being slapped like that, and buried his head in Xu Muzhe's neck in shame.
The system detected that the blackening value had decreased by 5%, leaving me speechless.
It's really hard to understand the sense of fun in these two people.
The system notified the host with a rather indescribable expression: [Congratulations, host, your corruption value has decreased by 5%, leaving 85% corruption value remaining.]
Upon hearing this, Xu Muzhe smiled and said to the system, "The corruption value will decrease again today."
[Host, don't be too greedy. A 5% reduction is already a lot.]
Xu Muzhe smiled but did not answer.
He carried the person into the apartment and then gently placed them on the sofa.
Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to get some hot drinks for a certain drunkard, Lin Jianshen suddenly grabbed Xu Muzhe's hand.
Have you ever loved your boyfriend?
He had always believed that Xu Muzhe loved Lin Yi'an, but recently he's become a little less certain.
He had been pestering Xu Muzhe for a while, but Xu Muzhe had never gone to see Lin Yi'an. The only time was at the restaurant, and Lin Yi'an came to him on her own.
It's really strange that Xu Muzhe hasn't visited Lin Yi'an, who was seriously injured in the fall.
"I don't want to answer that question." Xu Muzhe pulled his hand away from Lin Jianshen's.
Lin Jianshen sat up and asked unwillingly, "Why? What are you running away from?"
Xu Muzhe turned his back to Lin Jianshen and said, "Because it's too late, I'm not worthy."
Lin Jianshen was stunned. When he looked up again, Xu Muzhe had already entered the kitchen.
After that, Lin Jianshen didn't press him with similar questions anymore. He covered his head with his hands and said, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while."
"Go to your room and sleep."
Lin Jianshen responded and staggered into their master bedroom.
Once the door was closed, there was no trace of drunkenness on his face as he found the ring box he had discovered before.
He opened the box, inside was a men's ring.
Lin Jianshen pursed his lips, took off the ring, and put it on his ring finger.
He then gasped for breath, staring in astonishment at his ring finger.
It was just right, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Lin Jianshen and Lin Yi'an have very similar faces, but their height and build are completely different.
Compared to the delicate Lin Yi'an, he was obviously more robust, and the difference became more obvious as time went by.
So this ring was obviously bought for him.
Lin Jianshen's brows and eyes revealed complex emotions. He quickly continued rummaging through the drawer and finally found a receipt.
He bought the ring the day he had the accident.
Lin Jianshen stared at the receipt, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest.
Xu Muzhe couldn't possibly be the murderer. If he really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have bought this ring.
[Congratulations, host. Your corruption level has decreased by 20%. The current target's corruption level remains at 65%.]
Outside the bedroom, Xu Muzhe sat on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea.
[Host, you're really amazing! Just like you said, Xiao Zhi's corruption level will actually decrease.]
20% all at once! The system really didn't expect it to be so much.
However, it is worried about something else.
[But that receipt was forged. If he takes it to the jewelry store to investigate, he'll find out you deliberately showed it to him.]
“No, he won’t.” Xu Muzhe took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the coffee table. “He loves me very much, so the scales in his heart have already tipped towards me. Everything he’s doing now is to find evidence that I love him. Now that he has the evidence, why would he need to investigate further?”
Xu Muzhe sighed, "He's just too love-struck; otherwise, he wouldn't have been willing to be a substitute in the first place."
For Xu Muzhe's sake, Lin Jianshen would choose to deceive himself, and whether the evidence was true or false was completely unimportant.
After he reappeared, he never did anything to harm Xu Muzhe; it was all simply to get Xu Muzhe's attention.
Xu Muzhe knew very well.
Lin Jianshen had no intention of taking revenge on him.
Lin Jianshen only wanted to be with him again.
