Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Can I chase you?

Chi Ke took Ji Qian to a dinner party, had two drinks and then returned, which was considered a greeting.

Chi Ke drank the wine. He didn't let Ji Qian drink. As a doctor, it would be bad if any unexpected situation affected his work.

As soon as he went out, he parted ways with Ji Qian and took a taxi to the hotel where Chi Yuanfan was staying.

"Come down," he called Chi Yuanfan, "tell your mother that you'll be with me today and tomorrow."

Chi Yuanfan told the truth and said timidly, "Brother, Mom wants to talk to you on the phone."

"Give it to her." Chi Ke agreed.

After a burst of electric sound, Lu Lijuan spoke cautiously and with surprise and anticipation.

"Xiao Ke... um, I am, I am your mother." Her voice was a little trembling. She was afraid that she had said something wrong, and she didn't know what she was saying. "Are you ready to talk now?"

"It's not convenient, and I won't call to pick him up." Chi Ke said calmly without any emotion, "Let Chi Yuanfan come down, I'll send him back in two days."

Lu Lijuan said quickly: "Xiao Ke, I——"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry." Chi Ke stopped her from saying the next word.

That's why he always avoids contact with the other party.

Whether it is concern, apology, or reminiscing about the past, some words are spoken just to give yourself psychological comfort, but the dead are gone and can never be heard again.

He would not accept it on the original owner's behalf, nor could he help the original owner to forgive. What Lu Lijuan did not have time to say before, she would never have the chance to say in the future.

The person on the other side suddenly fell silent and laughed awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I won't keep you any longer."

Chi Ke hung up the phone, and soon Chi Yuanfan came running down excitedly.

"elder brother."

After all, they are "brothers" with a little secret. After seeing each other after such a long time, they are still more familiar with each other than meeting Ji Qian.

Chi Yuanfan was very thin and small. Chi Ke watched him from afar and weighed his own abilities. He felt that they were more than enough and that there would be no major problems.

He did not let the child's excitement down, caught the flying shell, and picked it up.

Click.

“…”

ah.

waist.

Chi Ke closed his eyes expressionlessly.

It's getting fierce.

Correctly assessed arm strength, but overestimated waist flexibility.

"Brother?" His face didn't look good, and Chi Yuanfan hugged his neck worriedly.

"It's okay, the car is here, get in." Chi Ke was extremely grateful that he had taken a special business car so that he wouldn't have to sit too uncomfortably later.

While Chi Yuanfan was climbing up, he quickly hit his lower back.

According to past experience, the pain from this stretch will probably last for five or six days.

...If I had brought Ji Qian with me earlier, I wouldn’t have to hug him like this.

"Are you seasick?" Chi Ke took a pillow and placed it behind his waist.

"Not dizzy." Chi Yuanfan's eyes lit up when he heard the word "boat".

"I'll take you on a boat ride to see the night view and have some midnight snack." Chi Ke silently took out a motion sickness pill and swallowed it.

He is prone to motion sickness, seasickness, and airsickness. He is the type of person who gets sick on public transportation but recovers as soon as he gets off the vehicle. So when he rides these vehicles, he must sit in the best seats so that he can be more comfortable.

He was fine with the big, stable cruise ships, but he wasn't so good with the wobbly little boats used for tourism on the river.

But there's nothing I can do.

Not to mention that most tourists who come to S City want to try out this night tour project, the last time he saw Chi Yuanfan's textbook filled with drawings of cars, ships and airplanes, he knew that this kid fits the stereotype of male children very much and likes these means of transportation very much.

Chi Ke sighed again.

If I had known to bring Ji Qian here, I would have been lying dead on the boat.

As luck would have it, Chi Yuanfan next to him suddenly asked, "Is Brother Ji coming too?"

Chi Ke shook his head: "He has something to do."

Chi Yuanfan said regretfully: "Brother Ji, do you still have to work so late?"

Chi Ke thought: This is not going to work at all.

He should be going to harm Leng Baiyao.

…

"Leng Baiyao! Come out!"

Ji Qian stood in front of the door of Leng Baiyao's villa and knocked on it.

Leng Baiyao was eating when he was so frightened that he almost choked on the pork elbow. He quickly asked the housekeeper to open the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Ji Qian rushed in and walked around him: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, and then come play shooting with me!"

He urgently needs an outlet to vent his anger!

"Going out to shoot guns so late at night?" Leng Baiyao was puzzled, with a look that said "are you sick?"

"I'm so angry!" Ji Qian took the drink he hadn't opened and drank it all in one gulp. "Don't ask why, I'm going to explode now!"

What did Chi Ke say?

There are a lot of men chasing him? !

a lot of?

How many are there?

How much is too much?

How much?

What else did Chi Ke say?

Isn’t he the only one who said this? !

How can you lump him in with other men?!

Can anyone who says such things hug him?

Can I hug you casually?

Can I call you brother?

Can I eat the food he cooks, have him touch my face, be picked up by him and sleep at his house after I get drunk? Can I? Can I? Can anyone else? !

How come you are such an adult and don’t know how to reject those suitors with ulterior motives?

Did you know that they are all gay men claiming to be straight?

Do you know that these men are more cunning than the other? !

Ji Qian was almost mad, and shouted angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat! Stop eating!"

Leng Baiyao: “?”

Leng Baiyao finished his meal without changing his expression amid his roar, and was forcibly taken to the shooting range.

The owner of this store is a wealthy woman in her late 30s who does not want to get married. Ji Qian met her while swimming.

When they arrived at the place, the shop was just about to close. Ji Qian stopped them and said, "Wait a minute! Sister, the weather is so nice today, can you take my last order before closing?"

My sister is also a straightforward person: "No bargaining for double the price."

Ji Qian: “.”

Ji Qian pushed Leng Baiyao and said, "You pay the bill."

Leng Baiyao couldn't believe it: "Are you a human being? I'm paying for what are you buying?"

Ji Qian: "I'm heartbroken so I go get drunk."

Leng Baiyao: "..."

"Oh my, you're heartbroken? Tsk, tsk, so pitiful." The boss opened the door excitedly, "Go ahead, go ahead. You don't need anyone to teach you anyway. I won't charge you. It's only fifteen minutes. One more minute and you two can sleep here tonight."

"Thank you, sister! I thought you would become rich!" Ji Qian's two words made sister so happy that she generously gave them five more minutes.

Ji Qian: "Come on, compete, bet on your Patek Philippe."

"..." Leng Baiyao had played with him so many times and never won, so of course he would not make things difficult for himself, "Are you crazy today? Why do you have to vent your anger on me?"

Ji Qian fought for a while in silence, and finally he was able to calm down and face all the scattered anger and emotions.

There’s actually nothing to think about.

It's just that he is jealous.

Because he was probably not Chi Ke's first exception, he was jealous. He was jealous of all those who held Chi Ke's hands, jealous of those who had received Chi Ke's favoritism earlier than him, and jealous of those people who had a past that belonged to Chi Ke in which he had not participated.

He was almost going crazy with jealousy. Now he couldn't stand the thought of any man getting close to Chi Ke, even straight men couldn't stand it.

It's normal to be turned gay by Chi Ke, right?

Ji Qian thought with confidence: So it is normal for me to be gay!

Which straight man can stand Chi Ke’s repeated teasing?

After Ji Qian finished thinking, he curled his lips and felt wronged again -

No, why does he say I am straight?

I hugged him, touched him, and held his hand, but he still said I was a straight man?

Why?

Where did you come to this conclusion?

Chi Ke knows that others are pursuing him when they do this, so why am I still a straight man when I do this? Is this normal?

How could I be straight! ?

A gunshot rang out.

Leng Baiyao turned his head in surprise: "How did you miss the target? Are you okay?"

He watched Ji Qian's face turn pale, his legs go limp, and he dropped his gun and collapsed to the ground.

"He rejected me politely..." Ji Qian said in despair, "He played with my feelings and then rejected me harshly..."

I heard a vague Leng Baiyao: "..."

This guy is a fucking idiot, right?

Just as he was about to ask for details, there was a noise at the door.

The proprietress said that it would cost five times the price to come in at this time, and the guests who came to play must be very rich, so she agreed without hesitation.

Then, a familiar figure walked in.

Ji Qian turned his head and stood up the moment he saw the person coming, his face as gloomy as ice: "Why is Mr. Li here? Have you dealt with your family affairs?"

Li Xiuming was also surprised: "Why are you here? Did Mr. Chi go on the boat without you?"

Ji Qian: “…”

Leng Baiyao: "..."

Leng Baiyao exclaimed, crossed his arms, and watched the show with great interest.

Ji Qian said with a fake smile: "I see Mr. Chi every day, so it doesn't matter if I wait for a while. There will be plenty of time in the future."

Li Xiuming was unmoved: "Two?"

Ji Qian: "What are you betting on?"

Li Xiuming: "Your AP."

Ji Qian: “.”

Why do people like to gamble with other people's favorite watches?

Ji Qian said, "Change it. This one won't work. You can choose any other."

"I want your AP." Li Xiuming curled the corners of his lips lightly, "If I lose, I can use my connections to get the cooperation with the research institute that Mr. Chi is running recently. It's a sure thing."

Chi Ke has recently stayed up for several nights just for this matter.

Ji Qian didn't hesitate: "Deal."

Leng Baiyao clapped his hands in celebration, "Ji Qian's watch is like a treasure, I can't even touch it. Li Xiuming, if you can win it from him, I'll treat you to a meal."

Ji Qian gritted his teeth: "Who are you on?"

Leng Baiyao: "Of course I am——"

"Li Xiuming? How come you're here so fast?" A beautiful woman in sportswear pushed the door open and walked in. "Wow, you're all here?"

Leng Baiyao: “???”

Ji Qian raised his eyebrows: "Oh, Miss Su, good evening."

"Hello, hello." Su Jinmian smiled and bumped fists with him, then took the earmuffs handed over by Li Xiuming, and finally looked at Leng Baiyao, "What a coincidence, fiancé."

fiancé:"."

Leng Baiyao clenched his fist: "You came here with Li Xiuming?"

Late at night, a man and a woman, hanging out?!

Who made an appointment with whom? ? ? !

Su Jinmian nodded generously: "Yes, I couldn't sleep, so I asked him to come out and play."

In fact, the two of them sat in the office writing code for a whole night, but they hadn't finished yet and were about to collapse, so they agreed to come out and relax for a while before going back.

"When did you two become so close?" Leng Baiyao took a deep breath, "You can come to me if you can't sleep."

"That's too much trouble for you," Su Jinmian said frankly, "We're nominally married, so we should be clear about it. What if I owe you a favor and you want me to pay it back? What should I do?"

So are you familiar with Li Xiuming enough to not care about this kind of favor?

As Ji Qian watched, Leng Boyao took off the RM on his wrist and threw it on the cabinet next to him, then picked up his gun: "How do we determine who wins and who loses?"

Su Jinmian was better at archery and horse riding, and was not used to this kind of gun, so naturally he did not participate in their childish competition. He rolled his eyes, took his phone and went to the front desk to renew their subscription.

Judging from the situation, it will take at least half an hour to get down.

No one was playing with her and she was a bit bored, so she simply called the proprietress to go to the fried skewers shop across the street for a midnight snack. When she came back, she saw Ji Qian playing with Leng Baiyao's RM, and then staring at Li Xiuming sending messages to someone.

Su Jinmian said with a smile: "That's pretty impressive, Master Ji. Who is the third one?"

Leng Baiyao sneered.

Li Xiuming raised his hand calmly: "Me."

"You were the one who proposed the competition and you got third place? Isn't that shameful, senior?" Su Jinmian laughed at him mercilessly.

Leng Baiyao looked a little better.

Li Xiuming was not ashamed and said with his hands spread out, "They are not acting normal today."

Su Jinmian didn't know the whole story, but she could guess a little: "Late..."

"Don't say it! Don't say it at all!"

Whenever Ji Qian heard the word "Chi Ke", he felt a pang in his heart and got furious.

The three of them looked at each other in tacit understanding for a second.

Leng Baiyao: "What did Chi Ke do to you?"

Su Jinmian: "What happened between you and Chi Ke?"

Li Xiuming: "What happened between Chi Ke and you?"

Ji Qian: “.”

"I really made the wrong friends!"

Ji Qian glared at each of them and ran away angrily.

Leng Baiyao drove here. He didn't have a car, so he had to either take a taxi back or take the bus.

Fortunately, home was not too far from here, only three kilometers. He hadn't exercised tonight, so he simply started running along the pedestrian path by the river.

Ji Qian has a very regular schedule. He goes out for a morning run in the morning and goes back to the gym to exercise after work. This is a habit he developed since childhood and remains unchanged regardless of the weather.

He doesn't use the treadmill often because he likes to feel the wind when he runs. If he's lucky, he can also smell the fragrance of seasonal flowers blooming on the roadside. At these times, his brain can be briefly empty, without thinking about complex medical pathologies, or any people or things.

In the first year he entered the book, he exercised the most and devoted himself to medical research projects, working day and night without letting himself relax for a moment. He tried to alleviate his longing for his relatives in the other world by consuming his energy, which resulted in his body being overloaded and falling ill several times.

Later, I gradually got used to life without them, and rarely ran long kilometers at full speed.

Today, Ji Qian's mind was full of the thought that Chi Ke might be rejecting him. He felt very uncomfortable and only ran the three kilometers in ten minutes.

At the end, he sat in the convenience store at the entrance of the community drinking water, watching the pedestrians coming and going in the city at night, listening to the sound of his heart beating, but in his mind was still the image of that person looking at him with a smile.

In other words, the longing for each other after several hours of separation intensified during these ten minutes and never stopped.

His method of escaping his troubles seemed to be failing.

Ji Qian hung his head and slumped over the table.

He told himself: Chi Ke's treatment of you is actually meaningful.

He told himself: What if I misunderstood? You know Chi Ke likes to tease people, maybe he is just playing with you?

The two little guys in his heart were fighting, making him happy at one moment and sad at another.

After a lot of fighting, he came to a clear conclusion:

He just likes Chi Ke.

I really like this kind of thing.

The kind that I want to date and be with for the rest of my life.

This was a thought I had never had about anyone before I met Chi Ke.

After realizing this, the feeling of annoyance no longer bothered him.

When Ji Qian came to his senses, he found that his reflection in the glass was smiling.

He suddenly realized.

It’s not that the method of escaping from troubles has failed.

It was because Chi Ke was not troubled. Being attracted to this person was a lucky thing for him, worth celebrating with champagne.

Ji Qian thought: Studying medicine must have damaged my brain.

I haven't even confessed my feelings yet, why am I causing myself trouble?

Yes...that's right!

Confess first.

He suddenly stood up, took the bottle of water and went to pay the bill, but halfway through he remembered that he had already paid.

He turned back halfway under the cashier's puzzled gaze, threw the empty water bottle into the trash can, and ran home to get his car keys.

But when he went down to the underground garage, he suddenly realized that he had taken the wrong car key. The Urus was parked in the underground garage of the shopping mall where he had lunch in the afternoon.

Ji Qian didn't want to go up that trip again, so he wandered around and waited for a taxi at the entrance of the community.

Although he didn't like to plan ahead, he did things in an orderly manner and had never thought that he would be in such a flustered and confused situation.

He finally got in the car, but halfway through the ride he remembered that he wasn't dressed up and didn't bring any gifts. It seemed a little insincere to go empty-handed.

He quickly asked the driver to stop at the nearest shopping mall. Since he didn't want to waste time waiting for a taxi, he simply paid the other party a waiting fee of 500 yuan based on the trust between people. Then he rushed out of the car and bought a set of bright and beautiful clothes before the mall closed. He also went to the barber shop to borrow a comb to fix his hair. Finally, since he couldn't find a flower shop, he went to buy a box of gold bars.

Ji Qian never makes plans. He just does things on impulse without any preparation. He believes that there will always be a way when you reach the mountain and there will always be a way when you reach the bridge.

But when he was paying at the gold shop tonight, he felt a little regretful.

Too careless.

Should have prepared more.

Such an ugly gold bar is not worthy of Chi Ke.

Isn't there a quick way to carve them into roses?

Ji Qian was a little depressed.

But what was even more depressing was that after he got in the car, he suddenly received a call from the hospital saying that something had happened to a patient in the CCU.

He frowned and asked the driver to turn around quickly.

Chi Ke was very prescient in not letting him drink.

Maybe today is not a good time to confess.

Forget it, there is a long time to come. If it doesn’t work today, try tomorrow. If it doesn’t work tomorrow, try the day after tomorrow. He has plenty of patience.

Ji Qian ran into the hospital and threw the three-pound box to the intern: "Put it in my office."

"Oh shit!" The intern stumbled and almost fell to the ground with the box. He couldn't help but ask in shock, "What is this?"

Ji Qian said without turning his head: "Gold bars."

intern:"???"

Ten minutes later, Ji Qian entered the operating room.

At the same time, the news that the director brought a box of gold bars to the hospital to work overtime spread throughout Shenghuijia.

The things that spread the fastest in the hospital are patients' conditions and doctor gossip.

The operation went smoothly throughout.

At the end, Ji Qian smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go far. I arrived at the right time. I was quite lucky."

"Of course not." The assistant next to him joked, "What was the dean planning to do today? He brought a box of gold bars with him. I heard that the box was packaged very beautifully, and the handle of the gift bag was decorated with a gold chain with diamonds."

"You guys spread this news," Ji Qian laughed, "Do you all have radars in your ears?"

The anesthesiologist next to him couldn't help laughing: "Our hospital is not big, and there are not many people on night shift. Plus, this news comes from you, the dean, so how can it not spread quickly?"

The assistant said, "That's right, Dean, don't you want to satisfy our curiosity?"

Ji Qian snorted, and waited until they had finished their stitches before saying, "I was planning on confessing my feelings."

“Fuck!”

Everyone cursed in unison and looked at him in shock: "What the hell? Confession? Who is it, the dean?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're asking too many questions." Ji Qian stretched, warned them not to talk nonsense, and pushed open the door of the operating room with a swagger.

After explaining everything to the family, it was already two o'clock in the morning when I left the hospital.

He hesitated and sent a message to Chi Ke.

【The Great Gitzby: Are you asleep? 】

After I finished posting it, I felt it was too empty, so I added a very confusing sentence to cover it up.

[The Great Gitzby: What cheese did you use on your last sandwich? I'm hungry and want to have a midnight snack.]

Chi Ke did not reply.

Looks like he's already asleep.

Ji Qian sighed and thought about where to go next.

Should I go home and have a good sleep and talk about it tomorrow morning, or should I just go sit outside Chi Ke's house and wait for dawn?

He thought for three seconds and went straight home to get the car.

The area around Chike Community is very convenient, with a 24-hour convenience store.

Ji Qian decided to sit there for a while and wait for a free sunrise on the other side of the river.

He ordered a glass of milk, put on headphones, clicked on random play, opened an e-book, and looked up at the rippling waves on the river from time to time. He was looking forward to the arrival of the first ray of light that would awaken the city, and he didn't feel bored at all.

The book he opened casually was about philosophy and was difficult to understand. It took him more than half an hour to read only four chapters.

Actually, it wasn't very nice to look at, but it didn't matter, he didn't really want to absorb the knowledge, he just wanted to relieve the urge to rush up and ring the doorbell.

Ji Qian was very anxious and would look up every once in a while to see if there was any orange-pink sea of clouds in the sky.

When I looked up for the seventeenth time, I didn't see Yunhai, but I saw a skateboarding guy fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

He was startled and quickly put down the paper cup and ran out.

"Are you okay handsome?"

The handsome guy lay on the ground and made an "OK" gesture, looking quite optimistic: "My face is not disfigured, my brain is not stupid, and my body is not bleeding. I just don't know if my legs are broken."

Ji Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and half squatted down to help: "Come, let me give you a hand... Hey, you're not going to scam me, are you?"

The handsome guy was originally grimacing in pain, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I can't even thank you enough, there are surveillance cameras nearby."

Ji Qian narrowed his eyes, saw his bulging calves, and sighed: "Let's go to the hospital for an X-ray."

"Fuck, it's really broken?!" The handsome guy couldn't believe it, "Really?"

"It's probably true." Ji Qian held him up by the collar and leaned against the street lamp that hit him. "Don't move your legs. Wait for the ambulance. The Third Hospital is quite close to here."

The handsome guy was talking on the phone with a sad face. Ji Qian leaned lazily against a tree and waited for the ambulance to come and take the person away before returning to the convenience store.

This night was full of twists and turns.

He lowered his head and rubbed his neck, walking very quickly. Unexpectedly, the convenience store door opened and he bumped into someone.

"Sorry—Chi Ke?"

Ji Qian widened his eyes in shock.

Chi Ke was holding a shopping bag from the convenience store, and was also a little surprised. He looked up at the roadside and said with an expression of "as expected", "So that kind passerby was you."

Ji Qian didn't care about the teasing in his tone at all. He took out the watch he won from Leng Baiyao and said unhappily, "It's four in the morning. What are you doing here instead of sleeping?"

Chi Ke fought back: "How dare you say that to me? What are you doing here?"

Ji Qian choked, and when he thought of the purpose of coming here, his heart began to pound wildly without any warning.

Why are you stupid?

Chi Ke snapped his fingers in front of him, and seeing that he was still motionless, he reluctantly pulled his arm and walked to the tree next to him: "Ji Qian, come back to your senses."

"I'm not distracted." Ji Qian suddenly said, "I came to talk to you about two things."

Chi Ke was only wearing a V-neck sweater. Hearing this, he raised his chin, and his long neck immediately showed a more three-dimensional Adam's apple and lines. He jokingly said, "What's the matter? Make up for the bite you missed in the car?"

Ji Qian's breathing slowed down, his eyes fixed on his neck, and then he raised his hand——

She took off her denim jacket and put it on him, covering up all the exposed skin.

Chi Ke let him rub him numbly.

After wrapping the man up tightly, Ji Qian smoothed the loose hair behind his ears that hung on his collarbone, rubbed his knuckles on the hair reluctantly, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Chi Ke: “?”

sorry?

Chi Ke swore that he had rarely felt so confused in his life.

What bad thing did he do to stay up all night waiting for an apology?

Sold the hospital without his knowledge?

He stretched out his hand and touched the man's forehead.

Hey, I don’t have a fever.

Ji Qian's forehead was touched, and his cheeks became hot.

He really liked the feeling of physical contact with Chi Ke, and it gave him an indescribable sense of security.

He didn't know what Chi Ke was thinking, so he continued his apology: "I was not sure about my feelings, so I let myself touch you and did many things that crossed the line. I'm sorry."

Such overly intimate behaviors can only occur between lovers.

He didn't think clearly about her feelings or take responsibility, and he just took advantage of Chi Ke's preferential treatment to do something to her, which was really rude.

Chi Ke looked at him silently. He seemed calm, but in fact he had been stunned for a while. His eyes, which had always been listless, were almost wide open.

He really didn't think that the first thing Ji Qian said after he came to his senses would be an apology.

"I'm sorry about this, but the second thing is not to explain my behavior. I just really want to tell you," Ji Qian took a deep breath and spoke clearly, "I like you."

"There is no maybe, maybe or not. I can be sure that I like you 100%. It's not just a whim. I like you because I want to have a future with you and participate in all your plans."

I really like it.

Chi Ke finally reacted and smiled softly: "Is this why you stayed up late at night and came to see me?"

"Yeah." Ji Qian nodded heavily, "I can't stand it at all."

"I see." Chi Ke was touched by your cuteness and smiled even more. "I heard your apology and confession. I accept them. Then, what do you want me to give you?"

Ji Qian's throat was a little dry, so he coughed twice and asked solemnly as if he was reciting a wedding vow: "Can I pursue you?"

Chi Ke: “…”

There was a subtle stagnation in Chi Ke's smile.

"Chase... me?" he repeated uncertainly, totally unable to understand where this extra link came from.

"Yes, I'll chase you." Ji Qian felt that he might have skin hunger. Just by looking at her, he wanted to pounce on her and hug her.

But he held back, reached out towards Chi Ke's wrist, and finally only grabbed the corner of the sleeve.

"I know you treated me like that before because you probably had some feelings for me, but Chi Ke, I want a lifetime, and this is not a joke. You have to promise me that you will never break up with me in this lifetime. Can you promise me that?"

He lost his usual cheerful and joking attitude and spoke more seriously than ever before.

This was the first time Chi Ke had seen Ji Qian like this. He was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't say anything for a while.

"Look, you can't answer." Ji Qian had expected this. "Chi Ke, when I said I wanted to pursue you, I hoped you would accept this opportunity to get to know me. I don't know what impression you had of me before, nor do I know what you like about me, or what you think about me. In fact, I may be... a little different from what you thought before. I don't want you to regret your answer today."

Normally he was so confident that he would open his screen every day, but now he has become cautious.

His right hand was pulled back and forth and swayed slightly. Chi Ke sighed and asked softly, "Do you think you know me well enough?"

Ji Qian shook his head and said honestly: "I dare not say that I fully understand you, but it is enough for me to swear to love you forever."

Chi Ke thought: Then why do you think I wouldn’t be like this?

He now felt that the two of them really needed some time.

Ji Qian still didn't have a clear understanding of him, so he could take advantage of this buffer transition period to get used to the way of getting along with him that he wanted.

But he is different from Ji Qian.

Ji Qian gave him time to make a choice, and he gave Ji Qian time to adapt.

There is no second answer.

He would not allow a second answer.

Chi Ke handed him the shopping bag: "Take it."

"Hmm?" Ji Qian subconsciously opened it and took a look.

It's a pack of cheese.

"Chi Yuanfan was sleeping at my house. He woke me up when he went to the bathroom at night, and that's when I saw your message. I thought if you were still awake, you could come over for a midnight snack, but the convenience store might not have it, so I came down to try my luck. I plan to get some and then reply to you."

Chi Ke seldom spoke so much, but Ji Qian was honest with him, and he would not keep playing a psychological riddle game with this man.

Ji Qian also needs a sense of security.

"When you walked in, I was about to send you a message, but I didn't look where I was going, so I bumped into you." He was stunned, and Chi Ke smiled and pressed down his two sticky hairs, "Do you still want to pursue me now?"

"Yes." Ji Qian let go of his sleeve, grabbed his hand, and whispered, "But I might not be so obedient."

Chi Ke was really amused this time.

"You can do whatever you want. Boundaries are for others, not for you. I'm not just playing around with you. Holding my hand doesn't count as crossing the line. It's always been you and only you."

Ji Qian's eyes were brighter than the first rays of light brought by the sunrise: "So you agreed?"

"Yes." Chi Ke took the initiative and squeezed his hands twice, agreeing indulgently, "I'll chase her for you."
