Red Line Resurrection Chapter 83

83 Chapter 83

◎The red line is resurrected.◎

After the two heavy snowfalls at the beginning of the year, this year’s winter has a tendency to be warmer. Shen Lingjun played Frisbee with the German Shepherd for a long time. The heat made him sweat. He wanted to take off his coat but was afraid of catching a cold due to the wind, so he squatted next to him and took a deep drink from the water glass. But the German Shepherd didn’t seem to have enough fun, and kept circling around him. His tail couldn’t help but swing around excitedly, and he gasped.

Shen Lingjun was pushed a few times by its big head, and he simply leaned back and sat on the ground. He touched its two ears and said confusedly: “I really can’t play anymore. I don’t even know who is playing with whom…”

The German Shepherd was so enthusiastic that he couldn’t resist it, and he had just come back from the cat cafe, and he didn’t know if he smelled the kitten smell that lingered on him. The large dog couldn’t help but want to stick out its tongue and lick his face. Shen Lingjun grabbed its mouth to hide, but suddenly a shadow fell in front of him. Liang Ji’an pulled the chain on the German Shepherd’s collar and asked the gardener to take it away, and then held Shen Lingjun’s hand and pulled him up.

Shen Lingjun stood up with messy blond hair and said with surprise on his face: “Brother?”

“Why did you come back so early today?”

“Occasionally I want to be lazy.” Liang Ji’an replied casually, raised his hand to take off the cat hair on his shoulder, and said a little funny: “Trying cats and dogs, even small animals like Junjun.”

Shen Lingjun raised his face and said in agreement: “Uncle Wang said that his German shepherd is usually very wary and will not play with strangers.”

Liang Ji’an took his hand back to the house. Shen Lingjun gradually got used to this behavior during this period, and his awareness of avoiding suspicion gradually faded, and he followed him into the study very naturally.

Shen Lingjun put the coat he took off on the armrest of the chair and said expectantly: “Are you officially going on vacation tomorrow?”

Liang Ji’an said: “Come on, I’ll go to the company tomorrow to have two meetings to wrap things up.”

He pinched Shen Lingjun’s armpits and lifted him up to sit on the table. Shen Lingjun was wearing a white turtleneck sweater under his coat. The material was soft and comfortable, and it looked like a light and fluttering cloud on his body. Liang Jian pinched the flesh of his cheeks that had slowly grown back, looked up at him and said, “Do you want to go back before the year or after the year?”

Shen Lingjun reacted for a moment before realizing that he meant going back to his hometown. He was a little caught off guard and said, “Are you really going back?”

He thought this was just Liang Ji’an’s reason for prevaricating Ruan Jichuan that day.

Liang Ji’an said: “Don’t you want to go back?”

“No…” Shen Lingjun shook his head. He felt that it was a bit strange to sit on the table and wanted to jump down, but Liang Ji’an put his arms on his side and completely trapped him in his arms. He could only lower his head and continued: “Actually, I quite want to go back, and I haven’t seen my family for a long time.”

He was talking about sweeping graves.

Liang Jian held his face and said, “Then let’s go back.”

“And it just so happens that you can go to the place of household registration to change your age back.” Liang Ji’an seemed to mention this matter casually. He concealed Lu Jiayan’s existence, and there was no need for this person’s existence to cause trouble for Shen Lingjun.

Before Shen Lingjun asked, he explained without any pause: “Last time I said I was going back for the New Year, I asked someone to clean the house first and found some things along the way.”

“Is the age on Junjun’s ID card one year older than the actual age?” Liang Jian said warmly: “Did you make a mistake when you registered?”

Shen Lingjun pursed her lips and thought for a while, “Mom told me that I accidentally made a mistake. I know about it.”

“But I don’t really care if I’m older or younger, so I haven’t tried to change it.”

Liang Ji’an put one arm around his waist and continued, “There is one more thing.”

For some reason, Shen Lingjun suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, which almost made him jump with fear. He looked at Liang Ji’an’s face, but couldn’t guess what he was going to say. The intense confusion and panic made him unable to sit still. He grabbed Liang Ji’an’s hand on his waist and whispered, “I don’t like this.”

“Brother, I want you to hug me.”

So Liang Ji’an held his waist and back and hugged him completely into her arms. The hugging posture finally gave Shen Lingjun a sense of security. He couldn’t wait to bury his head on the side of Liang Ji’an’s neck, and his breathing became a little rapid.

His voice was shaking unconsciously, “What are you going to say…”

Liang Ji’an’s hand gently patted his back again and again, comforting him: “No matter what it is, it will not affect my love for you, Junjun.”

“So just listen to me, okay?”

Shen Lingjun didn’t respond, but tried to calm down. He was very afraid of this bad premonition, because it turned out that every time his sensitivity to bad luck was not unfounded.

At this moment, the euphemistic words were like Ling Chi’s torture. Liang Ji’an was always concise and concise on certain things. After omitting the explanation of the causes and consequences, only the conclusion that could not be questioned was left. It was like a thunderous verdict falling in Shen Lingjun’s ears.

“Judging from those data, there should be no blood relationship between us.”

“Before you, your mother had a child who died under one year old. That was my younger brother who was half blood related to me.”

“But no matter what the reason was, it was Liang Jinwei’s irresponsibility that caused a series of chain reactions. Whatever your mother did was just a survival choice and had nothing to do with her true intentions, and it had nothing to do with you.”

“You don’t know anything, so don’t blame yourself and don’t feel bad.”

Shen Lingjun only heard the first sentence, and the rest were no different from noises separated by a layer of mist. He didn’t even immediately understand what Liang Ji’an was talking about. He just thought of his father, who had no impression in his memory. This absent character had been very strange to him since he was born. He could only piece together a ruthless and gambler from the words of his relatives or neighbors.

That’s his father.

But little Shen Lingjun still thinks that he will send money back to his mother at least once in a while.

Shen Lingjun couldn’t understand his mother’s expression when she held the money. He only remembered the hot tears and sobs left on his face when her mother held him.

Later, when Liang Ji’an came to take him home, he silently changed it in his memory. It turned out that my father was not an alcoholic gambler, but a wealthy businessman who often appeared on TV news.

But now he realizes that none of this matters. No matter who his father is, the suffering his mother has suffered cannot be erased. He hates these two “fathers” who never existed.

Shen Lingjun cried so hard that he couldn’t breathe, and only the tears kept flowing down the side of Liang Ji’an’s neck. When Liang Ji’an forcibly hugged him and raised his face, his whole face was soaked with tears. The expression on that face was neither shocked nor panic, just a panicked blank. He just looked at Liang Ji’an, tears falling down like broken beads.

Liang Ji’an raised his hand to catch his tears, and kept rubbing the ends of his eyes with his thumbs in an attempt to comfort him, but Shen Lingjun was indifferent. His eyes were still blank, and he realized what Liang Ji’an had said in hindsight.

From the first day he returned to the Liang family, he had been living in fear. He was afraid that Liang Ji’an would not like his younger brother and would throw him back to his hometown at any time. He was afraid that Liang Ji’an would find out about his physical weirdness, and he was afraid that Liang Ji’an would find out that he was making money by doing live broadcasts. Later, when he found out that Liang Ji’an liked him and wanted to be with him, he was even more scared to death.

But it wasn’t until now that he realized that it didn’t matter. He was most afraid of having nothing to do with Liang Jian.

The red thread entangled in his bloodline that he had always clung to was fake, and his last relative in this world was also fake. He had nothing. A greedy child thought he had found the most precious treasure, and after holding it carefully in his arms for a long time, he realized that it was just a pile of weathered gravel.

Different from every previous quarrel, Shen Lingjun cried silently, but his breathing became more and more rapid. Liang Ji’an was afraid that he would bite himself due to overbreathing, so in desperation, he directly reached out to pry his clenched teeth, and held the back of his head with his other hand to prevent him from falling.

Shen Lingjun’s face was pale, with not even a trace of blood left. Liang Ji’an also completely lost his usual calmness, and his hands couldn’t help but tremble while holding the phone to call the doctor.

“Be good, it’s okay, it’s okay…” He kept calling his name softly in Shen Lingjun’s ear, but he couldn’t even say a word of more comfort. He knew that Shen Lingjun cared about the blood relationship between them. Maybe at this stage, he loved him more as his brother. Liang Jian even began to regret why he had to tell Shen Lingjun about this.

After all, no matter whether it is true or false, as long as Shen Lingjun wants it to be true, it can be true.

Shen Lingjun let out a hoarse cry and gasped in his throat. He grabbed Liang Ji’an’s injured hand. The deep wound still had obvious scars until now. He kept rubbing the scar on Liang Ji’an’s hand, as if confirming over and over again that at least these paranoid love were not fake.

Shen Lingjun thought, what is love?

Shouldn’t it be the most beautiful thing in the world?

But now he realizes that love is actually panic, possessiveness, and fear of loss. It is the source and endless abyss of all desires.

He had no strength to cry anymore. All the strength in his limbs seemed to be drained out in an instant. He collapsed in Liang Ji’an’s arms, but he still held onto Liang Ji’an’s hand and refused to let go, as if it was his last life-saving straw. Until the feeling of a foreign body in the palm of his hand became stronger. Shen Lingjun lowered his head to look. Liang Ji’an held his hand, turned it over, and slowly pushed the ring to the base of his middle finger.

With his eyes blurred by tears, Shen Lingjun couldn’t tell what material it was. He could only see a red thread wrapped around the ring made of a Möbius strip. Now this red thread was attached to his finger, like an infinite loop and eternal connection. The ethical shackles no longer existed, and the twisted red threads were now entangled in a more twisted and straightforward way.

Liang Ji’an’s hand protected his back, and then gradually moved up, bringing him closer to her, and kissed away Shen Lingjun’s tears bit by bit, “I have always loved you, Junjun.”

“There will always be an inseparable bond between us, no matter what time it is.”

Just like the red thread wrapped around their bodies, they are broken and reborn again, and they will never be separated.
