A Legacy Inherited by the Licking Dogs

what is this?

Lin Yue'an lowered his head curiously, looking at the cardboard box on the floor mat in front of the gate - he was pretty sure that he hadn't sent any courier here, and it was impossible for Wen Yizhou himself to shop online.He bent down to check the recipient's name on the carton, but when he saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Wen Yizhou! Wen Yizhou, Wen Yizhou, Wen Yizhou!"

"What are you doing!" Wen Yizhou pushed the door open angrily: "Don't you have the key? Then why knock on the door so loudly!"

"Ahhh! Look what this is!"

"What..." Wen Yizhou was also taken aback for a moment after seeing the express delivery slip.

"Oh, it's scary, why is there a courier from Brother Qian?"

"Uh, I don't know, maybe someone sent it to him."

Lin Yu'an's eyebrows drooped even more in an instant: "How is it possible, how long has it been, how can someone send him a gift but return him as he is no longer here."

"You'll know if you take it apart and have a look," Wen Yizhou glared at him angrily, "Maybe it's something pre-sold, and you're such a big man, what a fart."

"Ugh..."

The two put the express box on the dining table—it was so heavy that it was hard to tell what was inside.Wen Yizhou went to get the scissors, and Lin Yue'an held the box as if facing an enemy, as if something alive would pop out of it.

The scissors cut the outer plastic film, opened the wooden box, and opened the foam box, revealing six slender glass bottle necks.Wen Yizhou reached out and took out a bottle, the glass rubbing against the foam made a creaking sound.

"What is this..." He dragged the wine in his hand and twirled it half a circle, revealing the bottle label.

"Huh? It looks familiar." Lin Yue'an also looked closer and realized: "Ah! Isn't this the one!"

Last autumn, when the National Day was approaching, a friend of He Qian who owned a winery invited them to visit his winery, taste wine, and experience picking grapes by the way. The winery is in a suburb four hours away by car. But fortunately, we can stay away from the city and work, not to mention that the winery has built a lot of beautiful homestays with beautiful scenery, and there are outdoor swimming pools, which are enough to make people relax.It's just that Lin Yu'an vaguely remembered that halfway through the journey, he went downhill because of the quarrel between He Qian and Wen Yizhou, and finally Wen Yizhou left by himself.

He Qian didn't chase after them, and the rest of them still lived for a small weekend, and no one dared to ask the details of the quarrel between the two.Before returning to the city, several people ordered some wine made from the grapes picked that year. I think this box was ordered by He Qian at that time.

As expected, Wen Yizhou looked at the wine in his hand with a complicated expression. The "relic" of his late boyfriend was only delivered to his home after more than ten months, not to mention that it was not a good memory for him at all.Lin Yue'an thought that he definitely didn't have the heart to drink, so it's not surprising that he smashed it on the spot with his temper.So when he heard Wen Yizhou ask "Do you want a drink?", he was extremely surprised.

"Ah?" Lin Yu'an was stunned, "Are you talking to me?"

"Otherwise?" Wen Yizhou said displeased.

"Oh," Lin Yu'an nodded, still unable to stop being confused, "Can I drink with you too?"

"Forget it if you don't drink it." Wen Yizhou resolutely pressed the wine back into the foam.

"Drink, drink," Lin Yu'an hurried to get the red wine glass—the wine glass hadn't been used for a long time, and the wall of the glass was a little muddy. He washed it several times, and then dried it with a kitchen towel, making funny noises.Lin Yue'an realized that he was too restless, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed, Wen Yizhou couldn't stand it and said, "Don't make trouble."

"okay."

Wen Yizhou took out a red wine screwdriver from the drawer, and twisted it into the cork bit by bit. Lin Yue'an wanted to help, but was stared at and withdrew his hand.With a brisk "Bo", the cork was completely pulled out, and Wen Yizhou poured a little into each of the two cups.

Lin Yue'an brought the cup to the tip of his nose, and took a sip, the aroma was lingering with a hint of sourness.

Lin Yue'an: "How is it?"

Wen Yizhou said bluntly: "It's not very good."

Lin Yue'an laughed: "After all, you just opened it, do you want to wake up?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother, just drink like this." Wen Yizhou said, "Cup."

Lin Yue'an held the cups in both hands and stretched forward, this time Wen Yizhou poured half a cup for each of them.

The air returned to quiet, Lin Yue'an was always busy with something non-stop, today he was asked to drink to Wen Yizhou honestly, he was extremely nervous: "Are you hungry? How about something to eat, Snacks or something? What do you want with red wine, there are no olives or cheese at home..."

"To shut up."

Lin Yue'an replied in seconds: "Okay."

The two drank in silence for a while. I don't know which child in the community was after school and was practicing the flute version of the Harry Potter theme song. Wen Yizhou was disturbed by hearing the flute version of the Harry Potter theme song intermittently.

"So why did you go home early that time?" Lin Yu'an asked suddenly.

"Oh?" Wen Yizhou raised one eyebrow unexpectedly—probably because the alcohol had relaxed his nerves, the other person no longer had that annoying cautiousness on his face, and was simply curious about this past event.

"No reason, I don't want to stay anymore." Wen Yizhou said.

"Oh."

He is ready to face endless questions, especially after drinking, this guy shouldn't be more annoying, right?Unexpectedly, the other party accepted the answer easily, and he was dissatisfied: "That's it?"

"It's normal, for you." Lin Yue'an said.

"What do you mean, you say I have a bad temper?"

"It's very bad, yes..."

Wen Yizhou raised his eyebrows: What..."

But Lin Yue'an has already continued: "But you definitely want to spend the weekend with Brother Qian. After his company started his business, he had very little personal time. He often worked overtime on weekends and evenings, and he always traveled on business. I remember that period You should have just finished your tour, and it’s finally a weekend when both of you are free, and you have to socialize with a lot of people in the end, it must be very uncomfortable.”

Wen Yizhou slowly put down his cup, narrowed his eyes - although it wasn't entirely the reason, what this guy said was actually right.As a result, the other party didn't notice, took a sip of wine and continued: "Brother Qian likes to gather with friends. When you often call us home and forget to say hello to you in advance, you also want to get angry. And we sometimes He also drank too much and fell asleep on the floor, making noise until midnight so that the next day he couldn't get off without an aunt."

"You know that too."

Wen Yizhou suddenly thought, it seemed that in these past scenes, there was always a person silently helping to clean up the garbage, lifting the cans, or trying to persuade friends who were too happy to leave before midnight.He hadn't noticed it before, wasn't that person Lin Yue'an?

"Although you like Brother Qian very much, don't you?" Lin Yu'an said, "Natural social skills, no, it should be called social energy. People always like things that they don't have."

"What, do you want to say that my social skills are poor?" Wen Yizhou said lightly, "You are very courageous today."

Lin Yue'an froze for a moment when he heard the words, and seemed to realize what he had said in light of his drunkenness.He raised his eyes in a panic—what surprised him even more was that Wen Yizhou didn't seem angry, but had an indifferent expression on his face: "Although it's true. Of course I know that many people say that I disdain dealing with others, but I I know, it’s more like “I can’t do it” than “I don’t want to”. It’s too tiring to deal with people, and no matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to be perfect. You can improve if you practice longer. But in terms of getting along with people and being liked by people, aren't you also pretty good?"

After Wen Yizhou finished speaking, he took a big sip of wine without knowing anything, and didn't realize that he had said such a long paragraph until he saw the other party's mouth half-opened and his eyes round.He poured out all the remaining wine in the bottle to Lin Yu'an in a disguised manner: "Drink yours."

"You, do you think I'm likable?" Lin Yu'an stammered with a look of foolishness on his face.

"I just pointed out the fact that you have many friends," Wen Yizhou said dryly, "I didn't mean to praise you."

"Oh, oh." Lin Yu'an buried his face in the cup, rolling his eyes wet.

Wen Yizhou was a little annoyed: "Why are you ashamed, you are so disgusting."

Lin Yue'an couldn't listen to his poisonous tongue at all, and nodded honestly: "Yes."

Wen Yizhou lost his temper, so he simply left him alone.However, this atmosphere was completely different in Lin Yu'an's eyes - the sky outside the window was getting dark, and the thin light spread on Wen Yizhou's expressionless side face.Today's him is not as completely repulsive as before, leaving only a vague sense of alienation, just like every day in the old years.

But it is precisely because of this cold and ascetic temperament that it makes people feel itchy, not to mention that when he occasionally let go of his guard, he showed an almost cute innocence in front of He Qian.

He is like a stupid dog, quietly envious of the meat and bones on other people's plates, but he dare not even show his envy.

But now...the owner of the fleshy bones is gone...

Lin Yue'an was taken aback by his own thought, and what was even more frightening was that he found that he was hard.

Heart beating fast, palms sweating—nervousness, shame, lust, annoyance, complex emotions thicker than the night, devouring him in an instant.

His breathing fluctuated too much, even Wen Yizhou noticed his unnaturalness, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

This simple question was like thunder on the ground, Lin Yu'an seemed to have been stepped on his tail, he dropped the glass heavily on the table, the glass made an unpleasant sound,

"I...I didn't, I..."

Wen Yizhou frowned, not understanding what was wrong with this person, but he still tried his best to be quiet patiently.

It's just that his gaze didn't help the situation at the moment. Lin Yu'an buried his head deeply, with two red ears protruding from the top of his furry head. "It suddenly occurred to me that I still have something to do!"

"Aha?"

He stood up in an instant and ran to the door to pick up his coat, without looking back: "I'm leaving today! Goodbye!"

Unable to control the bewildered and angry people behind him, Lin Yue'an fled home without stopping, riding his bicycle out of the gas pedal.The cold wind in the winter night is passing by quickly, continuously taking away the temperature on the surface of the skin, but it is like a blower blowing the restlessness deep in the heart more and more intensely.The moment he got home and closed the door, he threw away his backpack and sat down at the entrance.With the utmost self-loathing and the minimum dirty shame, he leaned against the door panel and touched the waistband of his trousers with trembling hands.He felt as if he was engulfed and wrapped by the floor made up of fantasy, he fell heavily uncontrollably, and was deeply addicted.

It's just that when the pleasure fades away, those passionate joys are gone, and only endless torture is left in an instant.

He finally understood.

"I know your character best, I trust you, and I can't be more assured of you."

Lin Yue'an finally understood the truth behind the heavy and cunning entrustment of his seemingly kind but overly clever senior.He is binding him with trust, and then putting shackles on him.

He is like a stupid dog guarding the door, with a chain around his neck that is neither long nor short, and he can neither leave the house nor enter the master's bedroom.
