"Hahaha..." The culprit laughed unusually happily, and even teased him, "Brother Qin Feng, you're too bad! Just one puff of smoke and you're choking like this?"
Then, she leaned closer, turned his face towards her, and wiped Jiang Qinfeng's reddened eyes with her fingers: "No way? You choked and cried?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away.
"Don't get so close to me!"
In his panic, Jiang Qinfeng lost control of his strength, causing Lin Mo to fall from the chair to the ground.
Both of them were stunned.
Then, Lin Mo's expression darkened.
He scoffed, said, "Just kidding, is it really that serious?" and waved goodbye.
But only he knew that his heart ached the moment Jiang Qinfeng pushed him away.
I feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
From that day on, their relationship began to become ambiguous.
Being too close or having physical contact can make both people feel tense and uneasy.
But the more exciting it is, the more people want to explore it.
Fear and pain, accompanied by bitterness and a touch of sweetness, formed the tone of Lin Mo and Jiang Qinfeng's life for the next five years.
The turning point came when Lin Mo was twenty-three years old, in a car accident.
It was a premeditated murder.
Because of business matters, Lin Mo refused to sign the contract, so someone bribed by the other party tampered with the car. On the way back, the brakes failed, and the car crashed through the railing and rolled off the cliff.
Fortunately, there was a forest below, which reduced the force of the vehicle's fall, allowing Lin Mo and Jiang Qinfeng to temporarily save their lives.
But it's only temporary.
At the time, Lin Mo's body was severely injured and bleeding, and he had a broken leg, making him feel like he would die from the pain at any moment.
Jiang Qinfeng had a huge gash on his side, which was wrapped with strips of clothing and was still bleeding.
That time, Lin Mo really felt like he was going to die.
He told Jiang Qinfeng to ignore him and save himself as soon as possible.
Jiang Qinfeng simply shook his head at him, then squatted down, picked him up, and walked along the mountain path toward the highway.
No matter what Lin Mo said, how harsh his tone was, or even if he deliberately used hurtful words to stab him, Jiang Qinfeng, with his pale face and body so badly injured that he might faint at any moment, resolutely led him out of the mountains.
Lin Mo remembered that day when Jiang Qinfeng called him by his nickname for the first time.
This man, as strong and tall as an iron tower, who was usually stern and unsmiling, spoke to him in a gentle voice, as if coaxing a child.
"Mo Mo, don't be afraid, brother will take you home."
Chapter 51
Lin Mo and Jiang Qinfeng (Part 2)
Lin Mo cried.
He gently wrapped his arms around Jiang Qinfeng's neck and rested his head on the man's shoulder.
Smelling the damp, salty mountain wind and the slightly fishy smell of rust, I bit my lower lip and silently shed tears.
He thought that he would probably never be able to leave Jiang Qinfeng.
The moment the two encountered the search and rescue team, Jiang Qinfeng's tense nerves finally relaxed. After handing Lin Mo over to the team, he collapsed straight down.
Lin Mo clutched the doctor's clothes, pleading with him to save Jiang Qinfeng's life.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lin Mo's wound was treated, and she sat in a wheelchair with her family outside the operating room to wait for Jiang Qinfeng's surgical results.
After five years of living together, the Lin family had developed deep feelings for Jiang Qinfeng.
Especially if it weren't for Jiang Qinfeng, they might never have seen Lin Mo again.
Lin's parents went to the scene after the accident. When they saw the horrific state of the car from the road, Lin's mother fainted on the spot. Afterwards, she followed the search and rescue team through the mountains and forests, calling Lin Mo's name.
Now that he knows his son's life was essentially saved by Jiang Qinfeng, how could he not worry about Jiang Qinfeng?
She even thought that if Jiang Qinfeng survived this, she and Lin's father would adopt him as their godson and consider him family.
The surgery went relatively smoothly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, due to organ damage and excessive blood loss, Jiang Qinfeng will need to remain in the intensive care unit for observation for a period of time.
During this period, Lin Mo would have a caregiver push her to the glass of Jiang Qinfeng's ward every day so she could quietly watch him for a while.
Once Jiang Qinfeng's condition stabilized and he was admitted to a regular ward, Lin Mo moved in with him.
And the first thing Jiang Qinfeng did when he woke up was to give the man a big hug.
To be precise, it should be that she was nestled in the man's arms for a very long time, not wanting to leave.
"Young Master?" Jiang Qinfeng hugged him for a while, and a light blush appeared on his pale face.
"Hmm..." Lin Mo leaned against Jiang Qinfeng, her voice muffled: "Next time, don't be so reckless. Your body isn't made of iron, it can't withstand this kind of exertion."
Jiang Qinfeng was slightly taken aback.
Feeling the warmth of the person in my arms, I no longer felt the chill from the mountain forest's moisture.
His heart quietly relaxed, and he followed his heart, gently embracing Lin Mo.
"Young Master, no matter what, protecting you is my duty. It is something I must do and am willing to do."
Lin Mo looked up at him, bit her lower lip, and asked as if possessed, "Then can you stay by my side and protect me for the rest of my life?"
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
In the silence, Lin Mo released his grip on Jiang Qinfeng's hand, and just as he was about to pull away completely, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Qinfeng nodded: "As long as you don't get tired of me, young master, I will never leave."
These words, like a vow, were deeply imprinted in Lin Mo's heart.
It evoked in him a feeling of joy mixed with trepidation.
Only at this moment did he realize that his feelings for Jiang Qinfeng had changed long ago...
In the following period, he began to research materials on the interpretation of homosexuality.
Then, he would secretly go to some gay bars or clubs to inquire and investigate.
Occasionally, I'll encounter people in my social circle who have this kind of interest, but after asking around, I find that most of them are just looking for physical pleasure rather than emotional connection, seeking excitement, and not exclusively interested in the same sex.
So Lin Mo gradually realized that he didn't actually like the same sex.
He also disliked any ambiguous contact between him and any other man besides Jiang Qinfeng; he only liked Jiang Qinfeng as a person.
He just wasn't sure how Jiang Qinfeng felt about him.
Is it an older brother addressing a younger brother? Or a subordinate addressing a superior?
Anyway, he couldn't see any physical attraction Jiang Qinfeng might have towards him.
Unlike him, who would feel a vague thirst and inexplicable expectation whenever he occasionally saw the other person's naked body.
So, in the following days, Lin Mo gradually began to distance himself from Jiang Qinfeng.
He was afraid that if the other person discovered his secret thoughts, they would find him disgusting. So he could only confide in Gu Xun.
When I'm really unhappy, I drink at Gu Xun's place, get drunk, and sleep there for the night.
Although Jiang Qinfeng was somewhat oblivious when it came to relationships, he still noticed that Lin Mo wasn't as clingy to him as before.
For the first time ever, he started to feel anxious.
Especially when he saw Gu Xun and Lin Mo together, and saw Lin Mo running to Lingyan Club in the middle of the night, he felt like there was a stone stuck in his heart, neither going up nor down, making him feel choked and uncomfortable.
Gu Xun is really an eyesore.
Why does Lin Mo have a friend like Gu Xun?
Isn't Lin Mo enough with just him?
The evil thought abruptly stopped, and Jiang Qinfeng was startled by his own idea.
He tried to suppress these emotions, but they always resurfaced whenever he saw Gu Xun talking to Lin Mo.
He was jealous.
Accompanied by anger and resentment.
He wanted Lin Mo to look at him more.
Or... just look at him.
Two years of estrangement, two years of jealousy and torment, finally erupted after hearing everyone teasing Lin Mo at that party.
The absurd drug and the inner turmoil of the heart led to that chaotic night.
The extreme pressure and fear of the future led Jiang Qinfeng to choose to forget.
If we miss this opportunity, another three years will pass.
That year, Lin Mo was twenty-eight years old, and Jiang Qinfeng was thirty-two years old.
They heard about Lin Yutang and Wei Mosheng.
They were two men, but they came together because they liked each other.
Moreover, Lin Yutang showed such affection for Wei Mosheng; her love was both brave and passionate.
They seemed to have no idea that this same-sex relationship was wrong or illogical.
Jiang Qinfeng was shocked and subconsciously looked at Lin Mo.
The thought of confessing her feelings to Lin Mo even popped into her head.
But reason prevailed over this thought.
Because he felt he was not qualified to do so.
