    Chapter 127: As Long as It's You, I Like It No Matter What

    On Lu Jin'an's phone screen was a paternity test report.

    A paternity test report for Lu Ting and Du Yang.

    Du Yang. It was Du Yang.

    "Fu Yan" grabbed Lu Jin'an's wrist and asked urgently, "Is this Du Yang from A University?"

    Lu Jin'an, still in a state of excitement, nodded heavily. "Yes, it's him. Du Yang from A University's Computer Science Department. He's my brother, Lu Yang!"

    The joy of suddenly finding his brother made Lu Jin'an's voice tremble as he spoke.

    "Old Fu, I never imagined Du Yang was my brother. I thought before..."

    "You know my brother, right? He used to be a big streamer, then someone secretly filmed him." Lu Jin'an was a bit incoherent. "I have to go back right now. He needs me!"

    As he spoke, Lu Jin'an headed toward the elevator, but after a few steps, he quickly turned back—his phone was still in Fu Yan's hand.

    "I'll go back with you." Fu Yan held Lu Jin'an's phone, not giving it back.

    Lu Jin'an grew anxious and reached for the phone. "Don't mess around. Give it to me. I've been busy all morning and just saw the message. Grandma and my brother have probably been waiting for a while."

    Fu Yan didn't return the phone, instead pushing Lu Jin'an toward the elevator. "I have to go with you. This isn't important—we can reschedule."

    "No, man, what's wrong with you?" Lu Jin'an felt bewildered. "I'm going to recognize my brother. Why are you more anxious than me?"

    Fu Yan paused for two seconds. "Jin'an, actually, I..."

    Actually, today, the person I was going to confess to is Du Yang.

    Before Fu Yan could finish, Lu Jin'an's phone rang.

    He grabbed the phone—it was a call from the Lu family's neighbor.

    Lu Jin'an smiled at Fu Yan. "See, news travels fast. Even Uncle Wang knows our Yangyang has been found."

    Lu Jin'an answered the call, and his expression suddenly turned panicked. "Uncle Wang, what did you say!?"

    After hearing more from the other end, Lu Jin'an's face drained of color. He seemed hollowed out, unable to stand steady.

    Fu Yan steadied Lu Jin'an, his expression turning serious. "Jin'an, what happened?"

    Lu Jin'an snapped back to reality and pulled Fu Yan into the elevator. "There's a fire at home. The flames are too big—they can't save anyone. Grandma is still inside."

    "And Yangyang should be there too." Lu Jin'an's voice trembled violently.

    Overwhelmed by the sudden shift from joy to despair, Lu Jin'an collapsed directly onto the elevator floor.

    Hearing Lu Jin'an's last words, Fu Yan froze. Even as Lu Jin'an fell to the ground, he didn't reach out to help.

    The brief ten-plus seconds felt like an eternity. At the elevator door, Fu Yan grabbed the weakened Lu Jin'an and shoved him into his car.

    "Fu Yan" drove, flooring the accelerator, speeding onto the road, and racing all the way to the Lu residence.

    The open flames had been extinguished, but black smoke still curled from some corners of the villa. Firefighters in gas masks carried three people out from the scene.

    Even though they were covered in soot, Lu Jin'an recognized Grandma Lu at a glance and stumbled toward her.

    "Grandma! Grandma!"

    At this moment, Lu Ting and Qin Yue also rushed back. As soon as she got out of the car, Qin Yue was crying and shouting, looking for Lu Yu.

    The firefighters had already found Lu Yu hiding in the back garden. Qin Yue ran over and hugged him tightly, crying pitifully.

    Lu Yu's face was also smudged with black smoke, and his clothes were dirty. He was utterly terrified, and when he saw Qin Yue, he finally burst into tears.

    "Mom, it's so scary! Such a big fire!"

    "I wanted to save Grandma, but the fire was too big, I couldn't get in... sob..."

    The mother and son hugged each other, sobbing heartbrokenly, their act was flawless.

    Lu Ting, eyes red-rimmed, stepped forward to comfort him, "Xiao Yu, it's good you're safe. Your grandma won't blame you. The fire was too big; fortunately, you're safe."

    "And it's also lucky Jin'an wasn't home, otherwise, otherwise..." Lu Ting choked out the words, then turned around to wipe his tears.

    Fu Yan was holding Du Yang, whose face was blackened by smoke beyond recognition. He carefully wiped away the soot, gradually revealing the young man's features.

    Du Yang's soul was crouching beside him, quietly watching the man.

    Fu Yan quietly watched Du Yang's small, curled-up figure on the ground, silent as an observer.

    "Yangyang, did you start following me from that moment?" Fu Yan's voice was very deep.

    Lu Yang sensed Fu Yan's low mood, so he squeezed his hand and obediently nestled into Fu Yan's arms.

    "You said you fell in love with me at first sight, didn't mind that I was already dead, and even kissed me. I had to follow and see when exactly you fell in love with me."

    Lu Yang squirmed in Fu Yan's arms, "Let me tell you a secret. When I was at your place, there were several times I wanted to go through the bathroom door and peek at you taking a shower, but in the end, I was too shy to look."

    Fu Yan's low mood relaxed a bit, and he couldn't help teasing, "I didn't know you were such a little pervert. Usually, when I want to shower with you, you absolutely refuse, but it turns out you've been craving my body all along."

    "Taking a shower with you always turns into something steamy; I get so tired, so no way." Lu Yang grunted a few times in protest, like a little puppy.

    The two of them had been living a very steamy life for the past six months. Thinking of those scenes, Fu Yan couldn't help but smile.

    He wanted to wake up soon.

    "Brother, don't look." They had both been through these things, and Lu Yang didn't want to be sad again.

    He didn't want Fu Yan to see what came after. It was enough that he alone had cried heart-wrenchingly. There was no need to make Fu Yan grieve over what had already happened.

    "Okay, let's take a walk. Maybe we'll suddenly find ourselves back."

    Fu Yan rubbed his chin against the top of the young man's head, then took Lu Yang's hand and slowly walked along the path in the villa area.

    It was very cold outside in winter, but Lu Yang and Fu Yan couldn't feel the cold.

    Fu Yan was a bit distracted.

    After Du Yang died, he stayed by Fu Yan's side, watching him hire someone to murder He Lin, then run over Qin Yue and Lu Yu with a car, and finally stab himself to death.

    Would these things be too bloody for Du Yang? Would he think Fu Yan was ruthless?

    "Yangyang, did you see those..." Fu Yan turned to look at the young man, somewhat unsure how to begin.

    Lu Yang turned his head, not understanding what Fu Yan was talking about.

    "Which ones?"

    Fu Yan hesitated before speaking, "What you saw after you followed me—do you think I'm scary?"

    The young man was stunned for a moment, then spoke in a mock-scolding tone, "If I thought you were scary, would I have come looking for you the moment I was reborn?"

    "Gege, you really don't get me at all. I'm so hurt!"

    Lu Yang deliberately stuttered and stumbled over his words, and sure enough, Fu Yan panicked, stopping in his tracks to comfort him.

    "Baby, don't be sad. I was afraid you'd think less of me." Fu Yan lowered his head and pressed two quick kisses to the young man's soft lips, "Don't be sad anymore, alright? I was wrong."

    "Gege, we're the same underneath." The young man's clear eyes were full of sincerity, "You'd go to any lengths for me, and I'd throw away all my principles for you. As long as it's you, no matter what, I love it—love it so, so much."

    The moment Lu Yang finished speaking, a sudden violent blizzard swept before his eyes, and he instinctively raised his hand to shield them.

    He shielded his eyes for a few seconds before realizing the snowflakes couldn't even land on him.

    Du Yang's heart-wrenching cries tore through the air, jolting Lu Yang into yanking his hand away, then turning to shield Fu Yan's eyes.

    Fu Yan's muscles were taut as he gripped the young man's slender wrist and pulled away the hand blocking his view.

    "Yangyang, let me see."

    Lu Yang closed his eyes and leaned against the man's shoulder, no longer stopping him—just gripping the fabric of the man's shirt tightly.
