Over The Top! He Keeps Making the Gold-Digging Alpha Cry - Chapter 112

His eyes were incredibly bright.

This brightness shone into Lu Yanbai’s heart. Lu Yanbai awkwardly looked away, got up, and sat beside Xu Wanxing.

He said calmly: “Why did Shen Yuxuan leave?”

No one knew his ears were flaming red, or rather, a certain careless person completely failed to notice.

But Lin Yao, who was woken by the slight movements, saw everything. He rubbed his temples sleepily, staring blankly at the redness on Lu Yanbai’s ears.

Xu Wanxing: “I don’t know. I just asked him if he could sit somewhere else, and he left. He seemed to have a headache and went to lie down over there.”

Lu Yanbai hummed in response, with no other reaction.

Lin Yao patted his face. He was still groggy and felt a little uncomfortable looking at the intimate pair in front of him.

The young couple was about to get cozy; it was too awkward for him, a third wheel, to sit here.

Lin Yao stood up. “He has a headache. There’s a first aid kit here with headache medicine. I’ll go get it for him.”

And with that, he left.

Lu Yanbai’s eyes curved in a smile. His mood was better, and the dark circles under his eyes seemed much lighter.

Xu Wanxing patted Lu Yanbai’s leg, pointing out the window at the sunrise. “Look, look! Isn’t this sunrise super beautiful? This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful sunrise! I’m so happy!”

Lu Yanbai followed Xu Wanxing’s gesture and looked out. Outside the window, large swaths of orange and gold interwoven to write a stunning chapter; the view was breathtaking.

Lu Yanbai’s eyes reflected the nascent and brilliant sun. His voice was joyful: “It is very beautiful.”

But not as beautiful as you.

He didn’t say it aloud, reaching up to touch his burning ear.

His ears were too red, more vibrant and alluring than the sun outside the window.

Xu Wanxing, utterly oblivious, stared at the beautiful scenery and chuckled stupidly.

He was fulfilled.

To see such a beautiful sun without having to climb a mountain—he hit the jackpot.

Lu Yanbai looked at Xu Wanxing’s hand resting on his thigh. He finally touched his ear and reached out for Xu Wanxing’s hand.

Xu Wanxing was deep in thought when he was suddenly startled by the warmth on his hand.

He looked down to see it was Lu Yanbai’s hand.

Xu Wanxing naturally held Lu Yanbai’s hand, lacing their fingers together, and asked casually: “Why is your hand so hot? Do you have a fever?”

Lu Yanbai’s voice was husky. “I’m fine, just a little warm.” He said, tugging at his collar.

Xu Wanxing didn’t pay much attention. He pulled out his phone and took a picture aimed at the sunrise.

Then he asked Lu Yanbai for his phone.

Lu Yanbai looked at the picture on Xu Wanxing’s phone, sounding confused: “Baby, didn’t you already take one? Why do you need my phone? When we are old, we can look at the pictures on your phone to reminisce.”

Xu Wanxing was already familiar with reaching into Lu Yanbai’s pocket and hooking out his phone. Hearing Lu Yanbai’s words, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, but he quickly concealed it.

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to take one more picture with your phone. Your phone has a better camera.”

Xu Wanxing held Lu Yanbai’s phone, aimed it at the same spot he had just photographed, and took another picture.

Lu Yanbai steadily looked at the picture on his phone, saying with meaning: “Baby, don’t you know? Our phones are the same brand and model.”

“Ah?!!”

Xu Wanxing belatedly realized his voice was too loud and his demeanor too strange. He hurriedly covered it up: “Haha, I didn’t know until you said so! It’s fine, it’s done now.”

Lu Yanbai didn’t press further. He knew Xu Wanxing had something on his mind.

But he believed Xu Wanxing would tell him one day.

They were getting married soon, after all; they had plenty of time to talk.

Xu Wanxing put Lu Yanbai’s phone on the table and turned to look out the window, staring at the brilliant, beautiful clouds, no longer in the mood to admire the scenery.

When we get divorced, how can Lu Yanbai look at his phone?

As for reminiscing together when they are old, that was even less likely to happen to them.

He was bound to leave eventually.

Lu Yanbai’s official match was Shen Yuxuan.

He shouldn’t harbor such hopes.

Taking Lu Yanbai’s phone to take a picture was going too far. When Lu Yanbai and Shen Yuxuan got together, seeing this photo would probably make him want to delete it immediately.

Lu Yanbai wasn’t as unsophisticated as him.

He hadn’t even seen a sunrise.

Every day, both his body and soul were confined to a cramped office.

No time to go out, no time to climb mountains, no time to watch the sunrise.

All he had was endless work and student loans yet to be paid off.

It was his short-sightedness.

The more Xu Wanxing thought about it, the more his heart ached, as if someone had stuffed lemons into his chest.

One or two fresh, juicy lemons that were sour to the point of bitterness.

His hand was still interlaced with Lu Yanbai’s, but he felt Lu Yanbai’s hand wasn’t that hot anymore.

The sun grew larger, the sunlight increasingly brilliant. Xu Wanxing stared for a few seconds, his eyes stinging and heavy, almost tearing up.

But he didn’t dare close his eyes, afraid tears would slide down the moment he did.

Lu Yanbai was still beside him.

It would be too strange if he cried inexplicably.

Xu Wanxing looked at the grand, spectacular sun, feeling like a bug living in a gutter, suddenly illuminated by the dazzling sunlight, extremely uncomfortable yet craving the brilliant light.

Lu Yanbai was like that sun.

Lofty, shining on the world like a saint. He was just a bug yearning for the light.

His heart was filled with a sense of unworthiness.

The deeper Xu Wanxing thought, the more distressed he became. He drowsily drifted off to sleep, feeling a tickle on his face in the darkness.

Lu Yanbai gently wiped the tears from Xu Wanxing’s face with a tissue, a hint of heartache in his eyes.

Was he having a nightmare or something?

Wiping the tears clean, Lu Yanbai opened the phone on the table, looking at the sunrise photo Xu Wanxing had taken, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Xu Wanxing even had to take a copy for him; he was too lovable.

When they first met, Lu Yanbai was prickly all over, extremely defensive.

Now, all the thorns had been softened, losing their sharpness in front of his beloved.

Lu Yanbai moved the photo to another album.

The album’s name was—

“Mine.”

Everything in here was his possession.

Lin Yao walked past Lu Yanbai and casually glanced over, seeing Lu Yanbai’s phone screen filled with pictures of Xu Wanxing.

He only looked once, and Lu Yanbai’s icy gaze swept across his face.

Looking back again, the phone screen had already gone black.

Lin Yao sheepishly looked away and quickly hurried off.

Walking to the front to get a cup of water, Lin Yao sneezed miserably, covering his red nose and silently grumbling.

“The disgusting scent of romance.”

Although he only caught a glimpse, he had a good memory and even better eyesight.

Lu Yanbai’s phone contained pictures of Xu Wanxing eating, studying, and sleeping.

There were even photos that looked like a silhouette in a bathroom.
