The Canary's Trap

Santorini is located in the Aegean Sea. As the name suggests, it is a very romantic island.

As soon as Shen Yuchuan got off the plane, he took Lu Ling to Fira, the most prosperous city on the island, and found a hotel to stay.

Most of the buildings here are themed in white, which looks very romantic and classical.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuchuan dragged Lu Ling to the vaulted Greek church.

Because Lu Ling once told him that he wanted to sit in a holy church and make a pious wish with the priest——

"Brother Shen, if we really have time to go to Santorini this year, you must take me to the church to make a wish. I will pray with the priest. In this life, the next life, and the next life, I will be with Brother Shen."

Unfortunately, this later became his biggest delusion.

Lu Ling still closed his eyes and made a wish that day, but Shen Yuchuan was not sure what he made, let alone dared to ask.

The next day, he took Lu Ling to the beach on the island again.The climate here is very humid, and the temperature difference between day and evening makes the entire sea foggy, making it difficult to see the whole island. However, it is precisely because of this that it gives people a beautiful illusion of a mirage.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the thin mist, casting a blurred halo on the beach.

Lu Ling looked at the seagulls that sometimes roosted and sometimes took off next to the coastline, his heart was never relaxed, and he couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face.

Shen Yuchuan stared at him blankly, feeling that this moment was too extravagant, for a moment, he wished that time would stop here.

Even, that's impossible.

Shen Yuchuan only sneaked away for a short week, and the assistant was really overwhelmed. He was urged to go back to the company with a phone call and a message, so he had to buy a ticket for the next morning.

On the eve of returning home, he seemed to have a certain kind of premonition. When he hugged Lu Ling, his fingers were trembling slightly, as if he was afraid that he would disappear suddenly.

Feeling the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart, Lu Ling turned around, hid in his arms, and rubbed his small head back and forth on his chest, such small intimate movements often made Shen Yuchuan feel at ease.

Shen Yuchuan lifted his bangs on his forehead, kissed his eyes, lips and moles on his collarbone delicately, and said to him, Lulu, I love you.

Lu Ling hooked his neck, and replied softly: "Brother Shen, I love you too."

His heart was beating very fast, so his love for Shen Yuchuan was not lying.

Because heartbeats don't lie.

"Brother Shen, what did you wish for in the church that day?" Lu Ling suddenly wanted to know.

Shen Yuchuan rubbed his lips: "I want you to stay by my side."

Lu Ling's eyes flickered for a moment, and he stopped talking.

Shen Yuchuan continued: "I thought that was too greedy, so I changed it."

"Ok?"

"Instead, I hope Lulu will always be happy."

Lu Ling's body was stiff, and he nestled into his arms, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable. He felt that Shen Yuchuan had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to ask.

Shen Yuchuan sighed deeply: "Lu Ling, I was wrong."

"It's time for me to have you."

Lu Ling buried her head in his chest, listening to his lively heartbeat, suddenly felt unbearable and restless.

He should hate Shen Yuchuan, put him under house arrest, threaten him, trick him into hurting him, but until now, he still can't do it.

If you don't hate, you can't love.

Wanting to stay in this moment forever, the heart of being together no matter what is also extinguished.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuchuan took Lu Ling to the airport.

At that time, Lu Ling received a message from Ji Dingzhe, saying that Ji's father had already taken care of it, and he was waiting to pick him up at Shen Yuchuan's apartment.

Lu Ling's heart beat faster, impatient, nervous, panic, and entangled. When he couldn't help but look back at Shen Yuchuan, everything was completely exposed.

In the end, all these emotions turned into reluctance and unbearable.He couldn't bear to hurt Shen Yuchuan.

But without ending such a relationship, no one can be alone.

Shen Yuchuan saw the distress in his eyes, his heart sank suddenly, his face was pale, his hand holding the boarding pass trembled slightly, and he called Lu Ling in astonishment: "Lulu..."

Lu Ling turned around just in time, and walked quickly as if fleeing.

With a clear understanding, he stretched out his hand and grasped Lu Ling's shadow cast on the ground in vain, feeling empty, in pain, and his heart ached from being pulled.

"Lu Ling, how long can I have you?"

It won't be long, after today, the stolen treasure will be returned.

He still lost the shining little prince of his childhood.

-

Ji Dingzhe knew about Lu Ling's flight, so he calculated the time and waited for Lu Ling outside Shen Yuchuan's villa. He was very impatient and sent Lu Ling many messages. Even though he knew that Lu Ling's phone had been turned off on the plane.

During those few short hours, Lu Ling's palms and back were covered with cold sweat, and his heart was in a mess. Shen Yuchuan kept holding his hand, and the closer he got to S City, the tighter his grip.

After getting off the plane, he didn't take Lu Ling back to the villa. Instead, he drove the car to the company, put Lu Ling in the office, and held an impromptu meeting.

After it was over, he took him to a movie for dinner, and he didn't seem to be very ready to go back to the villa.

Lu Ling knew that he did it on purpose, and Shen Yuchuan really noticed something, but Lu Ling was just not sure when he knew it.

"Brother Shen, let's go back."

Shen Yuchuan was startled, subconsciously felt that that was not the way home, but the abyss that Lu Ling wanted to push him into.

He stood there for a long time, finally nodded, and opened the car door for Lu Ling.

When Lu Ling bent over to go in, he suddenly grabbed the man's arm and asked, "Lu Lu, do you hate me?"

Lu Ling paused, and shook his head for a while: "Brother Shen, I never hated you."

Shen Yuchuan smiled: "Lu Ling, do you know, I think if you don't love me, you can at least hate me, so that you can remember who I am."

Lu Ling didn't answer, and sat back in the passenger seat.

Shen Yuchuan didn't drive fast, as if he wanted to keep Lu Ling for a while longer.But no matter what the road will have an end.

They finally returned to the villa. Unsurprisingly, someone had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

Shen Yuchuan was not surprised to see Ji Dingzhe, even Lu Ling was very calm, but Ji Dingzhe, who had been smoking in the car, was at a loss, not knowing what happened.

Shen Yuchuan nodded to Ji Dingzhe, motioning him to go into the villa, Ji Dingzhe protected Lu Ling behind him, feeling defensive.

Shen Yuchuan looked at the folder in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to negotiate terms with me, go in, don't waste my time."

Lu Ling tugged Ji Dingzhe's arm, and signaled him to enter the room with his eyes, this action hurt Shen Yuchuan.

Shen Yuchuan closed the car door, the smile on his face was tight, and turned gloomy.

The three of them returned to the living room, Shen Yuchuan was sitting on the sofa, Lu Ling and Ji Dingzhe were next to each other, his eyes were cold, and he lingered on Lu Ling for a long time.

Lu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and he reflexively wanted to sit back beside him, but Ji Dingzhe grabbed him and scolded: "Lu Ling, what are you afraid of? From now on, he has no ability to threaten you anymore!"

Shen Yuchuan looked at Ji Dingzhe, expressionless: "No ability?"

"Hehe, I really want to tie someone up, and I can tie him down for a lifetime."

Lu Ling's hands and feet were cold, and he raised his eyes to look at him in astonishment.

Ji Dingzhe pushed Lu Ling out, not wanting him to be threatened and influenced by Shen Yuchuan: "Lu Ling, you go out first, and I'll talk to him about the rest."

Lu Ling was unwilling and broke free from Ji Dingzhe's shackles, but Shen Yuchuan said calmly, "Go out."

"If you really want to leave me, just go out."

Lu Ling opened his mouth to explain something, but found that there was no way to explain it.He really wanted to leave Shen Yuchuan.

Lu Ling finally walked out of the hall, and stood in the courtyard in a dazed manner, with several colorful sunflowers growing vigorously around the vines.

This is Lu Ling's favorite flower. Like sunflowers, they grow towards the sun, small and tough.

City S is humid, but this kind of flower is resistant to high temperature, and the more sunlight it blooms, the more vigorous it will be. In order to make him happy, Shen Yuchuan spent a lot of time cultivating such a small garden and planting it specially.

Lu Ling picked up the broken petals with his fingers, absent-minded, wondering what the two people in the room were talking about.

Just like that, he felt that he was about to stand like a wooden sculpture, and finally he heard a voice behind him: "Lulu..."

Lu Ling hurriedly turned around, only to see Ji Dingzhe standing behind him with a relaxed expression.

"I have settled with Shen Yuchuan, he..."

"He said he asked you to stay for the rest of the day, and I'll come pick you up after today." Ji Dingzhe said in annoyed voice, "Damn, is he crazy?! Lulu, if he bullies you, call me and I'll call you right away." You take it away!"

Lu Ling was dazed for a few seconds, and nodded numbly, not knowing how he sent Ji Dingzhe away next, nor how he returned to the living room.

Shen Yuchuan was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. Seeing him come back, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, as if he was in pain, but he quickly smiled: "Lu Lu, you must be hungry after a long day of tossing. I'll cook for you."

It was only then that Lu Ling remembered that Shen Yuchuan hadn't cooked for him for a long time, but he learned to cook for Shen Yuchuan.

It's hard to eat though.

Shen Yuchuan didn't expect him to answer him, turned around and went to the kitchen, ready to serve it to Lu Ling, he used to like to eat his own noodles the most.

Lu Ling stood in the living room for more than ten minutes before quietly walking to the kitchen. Looking at the busy figure inside, he opened his mouth and said in a bitter voice, "You already knew."

Shen Yuchuan paused, like a cedar in the cold winter.

"I'm in contact with Ji Dingzhe, I'm leaving you, you already know."

Shen Yuchuan turned to look at him: "It's not too early."

"I don't know who you're in contact with, but, Lulu, I know you want to leave me... When, probably..."

"Hehe, I probably only found out after you took the recording pen and USB flash drive, Lulu, I don't have a good memory, but I still know exactly where the things in the safe were originally placed. You are too panicked. You didn't put Dongxi back in place, I just checked the surveillance and found out what you did, unfortunately, it was too late."

"You've already taken away what I can threaten you with. You said, what bargaining chip do I have to tie you by my side?"

"Lu Ling, in fact, they don't need to go to great lengths to make false testimony. I haven't backed up all the evidence. If you take it away, you will be free."
