Chapter 72 Good Boy

He Ciyuan has attended several brand events these days, and his popularity has increased a lot. He just came back from the event and didn't even have time to take off his makeup before bringing a lunch box to the office on the top floor of Sheng Group.

He knew nothing about cooking, but after hearing that Sheng Zhao liked sweet things, he enrolled him in a baking class and made some desserts himself. Although his baking skills were not as good as those of the top pastry chefs, through hard work and study, he was already as good as those in the bakery.

This is the Napoleon he made this morning. He saw Sheng Zhao eat two more bites last time, so he made this today.

Perhaps with Sheng Zhao's consent, He Ciyuan could enter and leave her office freely.

Sheng Zhao was working with his head down. When he heard He Ciyuan come in cautiously, he didn't even raise his head.

The man breathed a sigh of relief that he had not disturbed Sheng Zhao. He walked carefully to the desk, poured a glass of juice, and tiptoed to take out Napoleon and place it on Sheng Zhao's left hand.

He lowered his head, his hair sliding down his shoulders. He was still wearing the riveted collar he had just worn at the event. The buttons on his chest were not fastened, revealing the ravines of his honey-colored, plump chest muscles. His strong waist was tightly outlined by his clothes. His muscles were smooth and his arm muscles were strong. The fragrance on his body had a hint of intoxicating charm and confusion.

Different from his sexy and aggressive appearance, his eyes are serious and stubborn, which makes him look cute in such a contrast.

His bony fingers gently placed the dessert and juice down.

"Mr. Sheng, please...!"

Suddenly, his hand shook and the cold juice spilled onto Sheng Zhao's pants.

The cold liquid made Sheng Zhao shudder for a moment. The man half-knelt down, frantically wiping away the juice. His handsome face was full of regret as he kept apologizing, "Mr. Sheng! Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that. I'll give you this suit as compensation..."

Sheng Zhao frowned and sighed.

Although Yu Shiyun is a person with a lot on his mind, he is also very careful as a secretary, so such a problem would never occur.

"...It's okay, I'll go change into another set of clothes later."

Perhaps because he heard the indifference in Sheng Zhao's voice, the tall man who was half-kneeling on the ground wiping Sheng Zhao's clothes pursed his lips, lowered his head, and his eyes were a little sore.

He suppressed his sadness, tears trickling down his cheeks as he choked and said, "I'm sorry... Mr. Sheng."

He worked so hard for so long to get the opportunity to get close to President Sheng, but because of his clumsiness, he made President Sheng disgusted with him.

The tall man was half-kneeling on the ground sobbing. The wild makeup that he had customized for the event made him look like a bullied little husband.

?

Why are you crying?

Sheng Zhao was a little confused. With a slight doubt, he lowered his head and pinched his chin, looking at the man's aggrieved face.

There were wet tears on the tip of his chin, his eyes were slightly red, his hair was messy and lazy, and the collar on his neck covered half of his Adam's apple, which was sliding up and down and trembling slightly because of sobbing.

She was about to say something when the door was suddenly pushed open.

When Li Ji pushed them, what they saw was a man with a collar kneeling on the ground, holding a handkerchief in his hand and putting it against Sheng Zhao. Sheng Zhao looked casual and lazy, pinching the man's chin with his fingertips, bullying him until he cried.

In an instant, the atmosphere around Li Ji became so cold that it was about to freeze.

Sheng Zhao froze.

"...I'm disturbing you, aren't I?"

Li Ji pulled the corners of his lips, and after a long time he uttered these words in a hoarse voice. Then he took a deep breath, suppressed the tears in his eyes, and turned to leave.

Sheng Zhao suddenly stood up, then stopped where he was, his expression showing a complicated and cold look.

He Ciyuan also knew that this action was ambiguous, but seeing Li Ji's expression, he stood up and quickly explained, "No, I just accidentally spilled the juice on Mr. Sheng."

His red eyes and choked voice were completely unconvincing.

Li Ji gave him a cold look and turned away.

Until the elevator reached the first floor, Li Ji's mind was still in a trance, his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest, and inexplicable emotions were tearing at his heart, almost suffocating him.

“Haaa… Huh… Haaa——”

Li Ji covered his chest, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. The man was trembling all over, but he endured the sobs in his throat. The veins on his bony hands were bulging from the force.

Until the rapid breathing was suppressed, until the trembling of the whole body slowly subsided, until the bitten lower lip bled, until tears could not help but slide down the pale jade face, sobbing uncontrollably.

He Ciyuan was aware of the ambiguous relationship between Sheng Zhao and Li Ji.

He had no desire and no right to snatch Sheng Zhao away from Li Ji. All he wanted from the beginning to the end was to stay with Sheng Zhao.

He Ciyuan was also afraid that their quarrel would make Li Ji sad and Sheng Zhao would vent his anger on him and drive him away from Sheng Zhao. He Ciyuan paused, then walked carefully to Sheng Zhao, who had a complicated expression, and gently tugged at the corner of Sheng Zhao's clothes.

"Mr. Sheng, do you want me to explain to Li Ji? I...I didn't mean it."

Sheng Zhao came back to his senses because of his words. He then lowered his eyes and suppressed his emotions. He sat back at his desk and said in a somewhat indifferent voice, "...No need."

She continued to work on documents with her head down as usual, but she didn't know if she didn't feel it or was in a trance, the coldness and stickiness of the juice on her body didn't make her get up and change her clothes.

————————

"I hate you."

When Sheng Zhao found him, he was already drunk in their villa. Under the dim light, the strong smell of alcohol made Sheng Zhao frown.

He just sneered while holding the wine, watching Sheng Zhao come in and turn on the light, his flushed face full of hazy drunkenness, and then he murmured these words -

"I hate you."

Sheng Zhao walked towards Li Ji without saying a word. She lowered her eyes to look at the wine bottles on the ground and made a pertinent comment, "You look like a puddle of mud."

She seemed to be irritated for some reason, half squatting down and pinching his chin to look at his disheveled face.

"If you feel pained and betrayed, why don't you leave me? Instead, sit here drunk and in tears?"

Li Ji's vision was hazy, he pursed his lips and his voice was hoarse.

"...I won't leave you." His voice was low, and his words were broken and empty due to his drunkenness. "Even if I die, I will die by your side."

He lowered the word "die" very low, with a cruelty and determination like grinding teeth, as if there was no way to get rid of him no matter what.

Li Ji did not allow Sheng Zhao to pinch his chin. Instead, he lowered his head and bit her fingers hard. As the woman trembled slightly due to pain, he gasped and sneered, mumbling incoherently while biting.

"That's how you pinched his chin during the day, right?"

"Disgusting fingers...eat them."

His voice was unclear, but his strength was not. The force exerted by his teeth probably drew blood.

The pain in his fingertips made Sheng Zhao a little dazed, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

She finally understood why she had such feelings for Li Ji, complex, ambiguous, a mixture of condescending and pity - like.

Because he was too obedient, his life was Sheng Zhao's puppet, his emotions fluctuated only for Sheng Zhao, his anger was just jealousy in a playful way, and his ending was just to choke and fragilely move closer to her, begging for mercy like a dog.

It’s just because he is so well-behaved and obedient.

Sheng Zhao's mind became dazed due to a mixture of joy and pity.

Li Ji probably knew that he had bitten her finger and made it bleed. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly sucked the blood from his fingertip, licked the wound with the tip of his tongue in an attempt to relieve her pain, and spoke softly incoherently.

"Don't leave me... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to bite you so hard..."

So cute.

Sheng Zhao chuckled.

She stroked Li Ji's head with pity and compassion, and seemed to be teasing him because he was drunk, so she explained softly.

"I just don't know how to face you. I think you're disobedient, so I wanted to find He Ciyuan to provoke you. But I found that you are still as obedient as a cute puppy."

"So I won't throw you away... You're even cuter, and I like you even more."

That’s right, she knew everything she had done. She just wanted to control Li Ji, whether it was his mind, body or soul.

Li Ji could drink a lot, after all, he worked in the nightclub for such a long time, so when he woke up the next day, the memory of yesterday came to him before the pain of the hangover.

Sheng Zhao said - "I like you even more."

He paused, then suddenly turned around and buried his head in the chest of Sheng Zhao who was sleeping beside him.

Li Ji's voice was hoarse and dry due to the hangover. He hugged Sheng Zhao tightly and asked softly.

"I prefer...will there ever be a day when I find love?"

Sheng Zhao closed his eyes and said nothing, just hugged him, holding him tighter.

————————

Li Ji’s schedule for the past six months was not arranged in vain. "Bath of Fire" was released only half a year ago, and his new movie is about to be released. The previous wrap-up party was also the wrap-up party for this new movie.

The special effects of this movie are not inferior to Chen Shuoxing's "Back in Time". It is not only the depressing drama film "Bath of Fire" that previously gained international fame, but also a special effects science fiction film that has impacted global popularity.

——"The Condemner" was released shockingly.

The publicity and promotion of "The Condemner" has attracted a lot of attention, and the official even hinted that it will surpass "How to Win".

This is a sci-fi story about a cool and handsome mechanical judge and the only remaining girl in the human race, who support each other in their search for new life in a world ruled by robots.

Cold death, a beating mechanical heart, severed limbs covered with wires, cheap blue blood, and the girl's bright and vibrant vitality as a human being.

The movie's trailer shows a cold and murderous mechanical city. A mechanical man, whose arms and legs were blown off by an explosion, looks at the girl in front of him expressionlessly.

The man's severed limbs revealed tangled wires, and the cheap blue blood that covered the ground looked extremely cold. His handsome face, without a trace of warmth, showed no emotion, even though his other eye had been blown out and was now white.

The girl was full of vitality. As she tended to the man, she solemnly and firmly promised, "I will carry the hope of mankind and continue on. I will find a place suitable for human survival."

"I will punish you who hunt humans—"

Then the screen went black and the girl's cold voice was heard.

"Kill them all without leaving a single one behind."
