Chapter 169: Childhood sweetheart and a girl from heaven? Straight men and homophobia! (6)
Childhood sweetheart and a lover who falls from the sky? Straight men and homophobia! (Sixteen)
In the second half, Song Ning leaned on Lance's shoulder and dozed off. He felt relieved in the swaying and fell asleep without suffering any more.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting with Lance's backpack under him, and his upper body was leaning on Lance who was standing.
"Are you awake? Then let's go. I don't recognize the rest of the road. It seems to be just a country road."
Lance saw him wake up, put on his bag, and stretch his legs.
Song Ning glanced at the sky and was shocked.
It was still grey before he went to bed, but now it was bright.
How long has he been asleep?
"Have you been waiting long?"
Song Ning chased after him and observed Lance's expression with a worried look.
"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest before you go?"
Lance smiled helplessly.
"This should be here soon, right? Why don't we take a good rest when we get there?"
Song Ning regained consciousness from his daze.
It seems so?
His face turned red. "Well, then let's hurry up. Now that we're at my house, you can go to my room and take a rest."
Lance's eyes flickered, but he didn't refuse.
The path here is barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
Occasionally a country motorcycle would come out, and the two would have to hold on to each other to let the car pass.
Maybe it was because it was getting brighter and there were more people around. After hiding for a few times, Song Ning's face was almost burning.
Lance enjoyed it, but considering the little prince's current situation, he just pretended that he didn't care at all.
Just before Song Ning felt his heart might explode, they arrived.
A country bungalow that was almost invisible in the city appeared in front of the two people.
"This is it. This is my home."
Song Ning's brows and eyes calmed down almost visibly. He took out a key, opened the old door lock, and pushed the door open.
There is a small courtyard surrounded by a wall at the entrance. It is not big but very neat.
There were some sundries outside, and a thick rope tied in the yard with a couple of clothes hangers hanging on it.
"Go inside and rest."
Song Ning opened the door and greeted Lance while calling his grandmother.
After shouting for a while and not seeing anyone, Song Ning became confused.
"That's strange. Did she go out to buy groceries so early today?"
Lance followed in, his eyes flickering, and he gradually connected some of the plot.
He had a bad feeling.
But how to tell Song Ning?
"Maybe he went out to buy groceries. It's okay. Why don't you go to my room and rest for a while?"
Song Ning didn't find anyone, so he decided to call Lance who had been with him all night.
"I was thinking of introducing you to my grandmother first. She likes handsome guys the most."
Moreover, it was his first time to bring a classmate home, and Lu Fengqian did not count since he lived next door.
Lance raised an eyebrow and said deliberately.
"Then I'm not sleepy anymore. I have to go home with you to find your grandma and let her praise me before I can fall asleep."
Song Ning didn't expect him to say that. He was surprised and then laughed.
"Okay, I'll call her on her cell phone and ask her to order some more dishes."
He took out his cell phone to make a call, not noticing the worry that flashed across Lance's eyes.
"Hello, the number you dialed is unavailable, please..."
The cell phone that Song Ning took out fell down with a snap, and Lance quickly grabbed it.
"Maybe I dialed the wrong number. Let me try again."
Song Ning's face was pale, and when his fingertips holding the phone touched Lance's hot palm, they were frighteningly cold.
Lance couldn't bear to see him like this, so he took the phone.
"Let me do it."
He took the phone but didn't dial.
That's the automatic dialing in the contacts, how could I have pressed the wrong number?
The two words "Grandma" marked above are so big, how could you make the wrong choice?
The two people stood there for a long time without moving.
Song Ning felt his body getting colder and colder, and it was as if all his strength had suddenly drained away.
A pair of hands suddenly embraced him, and the hot temperature dispelled the coldness, but it could not warm his heart.
Lance looked down at the person in his arms and rubbed Song Ning's bitten lips with his fingertips.
"Do you have any close relatives? Who's their phone number? I'll call them and ask."
Close relatives?
Song Ning was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
Lance couldn't bear it, so he thought about it and looked through Song Ning's phone.
Sure enough, he found a hung-up call with the name Uncle Li written on the contact person's name.
He clicked on the number and dialed it. Song Ning also saw the call record and his eyes widened slightly.
"Uncle Li called me, how come I didn't know..."
He suddenly stopped talking, with a hint of speculation and shock in his eyes.
"Hey, Song Ning? Didn't I tell your classmate to tell you not to come looking for me? The fortune teller for your family was right. You are a star destined to bring death to everyone! You didn't even come back after your grandma passed away. I really don't understand how there could be such a cold-blooded child like you in this world. It was the same when your parents had a car accident. A cold-blooded child like you didn't even shed a tear. You were born to be a disaster!"
The other party spoke a string of words quickly, his tone becoming heavier.
"I've already given you all of your grandmother's belongings. You're a college student now, so you can handle any problems yourself. We're relatives beyond the third generation of mourning. I can't control you, so don't come to me!"
The call was hung up.
Lance threw his phone away and picked the man up.
Song Ning hugged his neck without having time to feel sad or surprised.
"elder brother?"
"It's okay," Lance carried the person into a room with sky blue walls, then held him on his lap, "It's okay, cry if you want."
He pressed the person into his arms, but a storm gradually formed in his eyes.
How dare the Son of the World do such a thing?
How could he keep the relic of the little prince's only relative in this world and not give it to him?
Lance thought about it and suddenly realized.
Maybe it's not a shame, the old man's belongings should not be valuable.
But the reason why Lu Fengqian concealed the matter and did not hand over the things was probably related to the hung up phone call.
He could even guess that after Lu Fengqian hung up the phone on Song Ning based on his mood, the person called Uncle Li would probably curse Song Ning for being "cold-blooded" when he came to the dormitory.
After knowing the truth, Lu Fengqian naturally understood how important the phone call he hung up was to Song Ning, and naturally he did not dare to hand the things over to Song Ning.
Otherwise, wouldn't what he did be exposed?
Although he figured it out, Lance felt like there was a fire burning in his chest.
The Son of the World can always make him feel the ugliest side of human beings. The most ridiculous thing is that this is the most beloved human being in the world.
"elder brother……"
A whimper like a newborn kitten sounded in Lance's arms, and Lance quickly lowered his head.
Song Ning's eyes turned red from crying, he was gasping for breath, and his eyes were full of despair.
"Grandma is my last relative."
Boom, Lance felt his mind collapse.
Unable to hide his pity, he gently held the crying face in his hands and tenderly placed a kiss lighter than a feather on his forehead.
"Don't cry, you still have a brother."
