Unable to Divorce After Signing the Marriage Contract

went without saying that he had to review his coursework intensely.
Even during the weekends, he had to go for his double degree lessons, so he had absolutely no free time.

　　However, he certainly could not say so in front of Lu Nan, especially when the man was much busier than he was.

　　He simply answered, “Anytime is fine with me.”

　　Lu Nan gave him a sign of acknowledgment and continued to ask, “Do you know about the engagement next month?”

　　Lin Yuhe nodded.
“I know.”

　　Lu Nan inquired, “Do you have any requests?”

　　This sort of marriage was based on agreements, so Lin Yuhe naturally would not insensibly raise all kinds of requests.
He only thought that it was best to give all authority to the other party.

　　The only thing he had to decide was whether he should inform the other party of his worries about the midterm exam schedule.
However, the moment he recalled his stepmother’s reaction, Lin Yuhe ultimately decided not to tell him.

　　He shook his head.
“No, I will just follow the arrangements.”

　　Lu Nan yet again favored him with a sort of stare that Lin Yuhe could not seem to figure out.

　　With that, the simple question and answer session had ended, so both of them got up and prepared to leave.
The moment the man stood up, Lin Yuhe suddenly noticed that the other was so unexpectedly tall.

　　Lin Yuhe was 1.78 meters tall.
Even though he had always been brooding about that mere 2 centimeters, this height of his was still not considered as short.
Yet when he stood next to Lu Nan, he was at least half a head shorter than the other.
Even if he were to make a conservative estimate, this man had to be no less than 1.9 meters tall.

　　Lin Yuhe was slightly envious and had subconsciously taken another look.
To his surprise, he found that not only their heights but even their body shapes also had apparent differences.

　　Looking at the man’s toned muscle definition that could not be hidden by his suit, Lin Yuhe, who could not gain weight no matter how he ate, was all the more envious.

　　Afraid of being detected by the other, Lin Yuhe did not dare to look anymore, forcing himself to shift his gaze away.

　　Alongside each other, they began to cross a quaint stone bridge, as a brook babbled and tumbled on beneath it. 

　　Lin Yuhe’s gaze fell on the quaint decorations in the restaurant and could not help but sigh, “It is so beautiful here.”

　　If it were not for that bright and gorgeous night view shown through the circular 360 degrees french windows, just by standing here, one would seemingly be mistaken that he was truly in an unearthly garden.

　　Lin Yuhe liked the decoration style here very much, especially that bamboo landscape.

　　He had always had a natural affinity for bamboo.

　　Lin Yuhe was only just expressing his appreciation for the beautiful landscape, so he did not harbour any hope for the man to answer him.
But unexpectedly, he heard Lu Nan’s voice.

　　“So long as you like it.”

　　Lin Yuhe paused for a moment.

　　This did not really sound like Mr.
Lu’s style.

　　Just as he was feeling astonished, the waiter at the door had already come forward and respectfully showed them the way.

　　It only was then that Lin Yuhe suddenly came around.

　　Oh right, I would have to act my role to the fullest when we are in front of outsiders.

　　He pondered for a moment and stated, “I like it very much.
Thank you, Big Brother~”

　　The second the two words ‘Big Brother’ left his mouth, the man walking beside Lin Yuhe froze in his tracks, his jet-black eyes darkened somewhat.

　　With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked quietly, “What did you just say?”

　　Coincidentally, the lift had arrived earlier, so its ding sound was mixed into their conversation.
Thinking that the other party did not hear what he said clearly, Lin Yuhe repeated earnestly, “Thank you, Big Brother~” 

　　Lu Nan’s pupils constricted slightly.

　　He turned to look at Lin Yuhe, who was next to him.
Due to him tilting his head to watch at the lift, the young man unsuspectingly revealed his slender white neck.
A smooth contour extended into his neat collar and disappeared into his clothes, only exposing that bare and delicate skin around his neck.
It was so white, simply so eye-catching. 

　　That whiteness that was clearly visible and also invisible to the eyes, as well as the words ‘Big Brother’ that were still lingering in his ears even after it had long dissipated, made the cold and indifferent Lu Nan fixed his attention on Lin Yuhe, lingering far longer than he unwittingly realized.

　　He just could not let go.

　　He just could not take his eyes off him.
