Chapter 250 The Straight Man's Response

He Rui stumbled, steadied himself, and looked up to see the man opposite him in the dimly lit living room. His usually expressionless, cold and handsome face suddenly curled up into a soft and affectionate smile.

She just looked at him quietly with sparkling eyes.

He Rui was stunned for a moment.

I don't know why this person suddenly smiled at him for no reason.

He Rui has always known that his brother Ji has baggage on him, so he expresses his emotions in a subtle way, not too open or too explicit, and is rather restrained.

Even if I laugh, I won't laugh so hard that I fall over like him. When I laugh so hard, the sound is like a boiling kettle.

His brother Ji's smile was very reserved, without any worldly air, and carried a heavy burden.

But He Rui had to admit that his brother Ji did have good manners and looked very handsome when he smiled.

He Rui looked at the other person's smile carefully.

As I watched, I couldn't help but rub my chest hard with the hand that was not being held.

He didn't know whether he was jealous or what, but seeing his brother Ji smiling so beautifully, he felt like he had swallowed a piece of unchewed steamed bun, choking and making him feel uncomfortable.

It made him feel awkward.

"What are you laughing at?"

He muttered something under his breath, pouted and turned his head away from the man, his eyes casually falling on the dark TV screen in the living room.

He became distracted and began to recall, wondering if it was because the last meal was spicy, he ate the wrong thing, and had too much stomach acid and was having heartburn?

A force came from the hand holding him, pulling him back to sit on the sofa again.

He Rui sat down and tried to pull his hand back, but he couldn't because the other party didn't let go.

As soon as he exerted force, his brother Ji followed suit and held on tightly, preventing him from pulling his hand back.

He Rui snorted softly and leaned back on the sofa, too lazy to play tug-of-war with the other party.

I found that this person seemed to have changed his habit. From pinching his face, he now pinches his hands. He is playing with his hands for some unknown reason.

He Rui was a little speechless.

But I don’t know if it’s because my filter for this person is too thick.

So even if this guy was rubbing his hands in a weird slow motion, he didn't feel disgusted and could accept it.

...

Ji Changqing gently rubbed the white, slender, and extremely beautiful fingers in his hands.

Distractedly observing the man's reaction.

Seeing this guy, although she looked at him with a puzzled expression, after pulling her hand back and finding that he had no intention of letting go, she did not try to pull her hand away.

She actually tolerated his behavior and didn't show any particular rejection.

The smile in his eyes deepened.

He whispered, "We'll leave in a few days."

Let's spend a few days to temporarily study whether the abilities of the Evolvers can be transferred.

Take care of those people at the same time.

"OK." He Rui responded, "You're the boss, you have the final say."

After He Rui finished speaking, he glanced at their folded hands and continued to complain silently in his heart.

I don't understand what this weird habit of Brother Ji has. Why is he rubbing the wrinkles on his hands and putting them here?

He planned to go see if there were any surviving antique shops in the future and buy some bracelets for his brother Ji to play with.

Show your filial respect to him.

Let this guy play with it when he feels like doing it.

The sky grew darker.

The room was pitch black.

His hand was still being pulled and he couldn't pull it out. He Rui felt that the back of his hand was itchy from being rubbed by his brother Ji and he wanted to scratch it.

Moreover, his hands were being held, so he couldn't do anything. He couldn't help feeling a little irritated and gradually became angry.

But he was too embarrassed to complain to his brother Ji.

Other brothers may not take it to heart and take it seriously when they curse at each other on the microphone.

But his brother Ji is an introvert and thoughtful person, so he might feel secretly sad after listening to what he said.

He was afraid of hurting others by speaking, so he just kept his mouth shut.

He held it in until he took a deep breath, his expression looking as if he had just eaten nine turns of large intestine.

He finally waited until his brother Ji was about to prepare dinner for him, and then the man let go of his hand.

He Rui pulled his hand back and tried again, but felt that his entire arm was stiff from being in the same position for too long.

"What do you want to eat?" the other party asked.

When He Rui heard his brother Ji ask him to order, he was still angry and couldn't help but find fault, "Give me some skull soup."

The other party chuckled and agreed, "Okay."

"?" He Rui raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa, "What? You just said it casually and actually agreed.

Just give me a heated instant meal with potatoes, thank you, thank you, thank you."

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt guilty, remembering that the other party delivered meals three times a day regardless of rain or shine. His state of mind when ordering food changed from eager to find something to feel guilty.

Suddenly I empathized with the situation of a gigolo who has no status in the family.

But when I think about it, I feel it’s different. At least he still has some conscience.

Ji Changqing was distractedly searching for food in the area, while looking at the guy who was distracted and didn't know what he was thinking about, and asked a question.

“Why do you like potatoes?”

He Rui's distraction was interrupted. He turned sideways, changed his leaning position on the sofa, and said to the person next to him.

"Didn't I tell you that when I was in first grade, the homeroom teacher asked everyone in the class to stand up and speak about their parents' occupations.

When it was my turn, I couldn't answer because I didn't know what my mother did.

When the teacher asked, I told the truth that I didn’t know my mother’s occupation. The teacher then asked me about my father’s occupation, and I said I didn’t have a father.

After I said this, the kids in my class said that my family must be very poor and that life must be very difficult.

I believed it.

Later, my mother took me to the supermarket to buy vegetables. I saw potatoes for one yuan per two pounds.

It feels so cheap.

I thought that my family was having a hard time, so I would eat more potatoes to save some money for my mother.

That's the cause.

But actually my family is okay, not poor, but potatoes are really good, hehe." He Rui raised the corners of his lips and smiled at his brother Ji.

He feels that home-cooked dishes with potatoes are delicious, such as potato beef brisket, potato ribs, etc.

Ji Changqing listened to the man's cheerful and lively tone as he told about his past and gave him a sweet smile. His heart seemed to be gently touched, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the man's hair.

What was frustrating was that the moment he touched the head, the guy's expression changed and he looked unhappy.

Seeing this, Ji Changqing pursed his lips, felt lost, and slowly withdrew his hand.

The other party was indeed able to easily disrupt his emotions, just as he had predicted when he first noticed this trend.

....

Four or five in the morning.

The guy who wanted to let him rest and keep watch over the night again, seeing that he had not closed his eyes, finally couldn't bear it anymore, lay down on the bed angrily, and fell asleep in a short while.

He then lay down beside the man and stared at him quietly.

Every night he went out before, he came back here to guard the idiot.

And leave before the other person wakes up.

This kind of back and forth, inefficient behavior that greatly reduces the speed of expanding the scope is actually irrational and unnecessary.

After all, he could protect the idiot remotely and didn't need to go back at night.

But for him now, although the growth of strength is important, it is no longer the top priority.

He couldn't suppress his longing, and out of selfishness, he also wanted to go back and see the idiot up close.
