Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Is this your attitude when pursuing someone? ...

The sky is not as dark as before, and it will probably be dawn soon.

I have to take Chi Yuanfan out to play tomorrow, so I can’t stay up all night.

By the time we drove back to Ji Qian's house at this time, it would be almost sunrise when we arrived.

Chi Yuanfan was sleeping upstairs, and Chi Ke was sleeping on the sofa. There was no spare bed for Ji Qian, so he did not keep him. He was afraid that he would stay here all night, so he persuaded him to leave.

Before leaving, Ji Qian stuffed him a gift box that was as heavy as a brick. He picked it up casually and almost shook his waist again.

He returned home, holding his waist, opened the box, and was silent for a long time looking at the shiny gold bars inside.

The hospital was in need of money, and he remembered that Ji Qian didn't have much cash.

Which good guy is so impulsive that he buys more than one million worth of gold to express his love?

Chi Ke couldn't help but laugh.

never mind.

Those who spend all their money on gems have no right to laugh at those who buy gold.

He didn't bother to be polite with Ji Qian and put the gold bars in the safe.

When he woke up the next morning, Chi Ke sent a message to Ji Qian to thank him and expressed his love for the gift.

Ji Qian replied quickly.

Waking up at this time, he must be a god who sleeps little.

After a quick wash, he lay drowsily on the sofa and chatted with Ji Qian. When he saw Chi Yuanfan coming out, he hooked his fingers twice and said, "Come here."

Chi Yuanfan ran over and sat on the floor, lying on the edge of the sofa.

"At noon, Brother Ji and I will take you to have a meal. In the afternoon, we will go to the planetarium. In the evening, we will check in at two scenic spots and watch the sunset. After dinner, we will go to the movies and then send you back to your mother. Is that okay?"

Chi Ke handed him the phone, which displayed the places they planned to visit and their introductions, with pictures and texts, making it easy to understand at a glance.

Chi Yuanfan certainly had no objection.

When Ji Qian arrived, Chi Yuanfan was massaging the legs and shoulders of Chi Ke, who was lying dead on the sofa.

This brother is really having a good time.

Ji Qian smacked his lips: "Boss Chi, you're using child labor?"

Chi Ke raised his head: "He volunteered."

Chi Yuanfan said that he often gave his mother massages at home and his skills were very good. She had to "show off" and no one could stop her.

Ji Qian frowned when he saw Chi Ke stretching, and immediately grabbed Chi Yuanfan by the neck and pulled him aside: "Take a break, go change your clothes, we'll go out for dinner later."

After sending Chi Yuanfan away, he patted the man on the sofa on the waist and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yeah." There was only one bed in the house, and Chi Ke slept on the sofa all night. His already injured waist hurt even more.

"Turn over and lie down." Ji Qian said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

The incident happened suddenly yesterday, who could have remembered it?

Chi Ke yawned, turned over slowly, and said in a bossy tone: "Just press it casually, don't waste time."

Ji Qian: “.”

Ji Qian gritted his teeth and deliberately tickled the itchy flesh on his waist: "Am I a technician from some store?"

Chi Ke flinched and said, "Tsk, is this your attitude when pursuing someone?"

Ji Qian: “…”

Okay, what else can he say?

"Okay, boss. No problem, boss. I'll make sure you're satisfied." Ji Qian said sarcastically, "Is this strength okay, boss?"

Chi Ke lay on the pillow and laughed silently for a long time: "Well, keep it up."

The palm prints warmed his waist through the clothes. Ji Qian didn't want to focus too much on this, so he forced himself to find a topic: "Didn't you sleep well last night? You slept on the sofa with a bad waist. Why didn't you just take him to the hotel last night?"

Chi Ke said: "I thought I could sleep well."

The last time Ji Qian got drunk, he also slept on the sofa. He had no dreams all night and woke up feeling refreshed.

"Ah." Ji Qian was also convinced by him, "Will you come to the hospital tomorrow? I ordered two waist belts and massagers for you before, they should arrive tomorrow."

In fact, many medical devices are not useless, but unsuitable. As long as there is a channel and you are willing to spend enough money, you can customize them to be suitable and useful.

Chi Ke touched his chin and said, "You reminded me. I think this is a point that can be developed. Let me evaluate it next week..."

Ji Qian held his forehead helplessly.

He talked to Chi Ke about health, and Chi Ke talked to him about making money.

As expected, he is still that worrying patient. It is best to keep him by my side and watch him with my own eyes.

The two chatted casually until Chi Yuanfan came out. Chi Ke patted Ji Qian's arm, and Ji Qian understood and stood up.

After relaxing, my waist feels a little soft and I have no strength.

Chi Ke swayed a bit when he stood up, but fortunately his personal doctor had anticipated this and held his lower back steadily.

Ji Qian was surprised to find that when this man exerted force on his waist, the muscle lines were quite obvious.

Do you exercise regularly?

How can you keep your body so fit?

Ji Qian was puzzled, and now was not a good time to ask, so he had to put the question aside for the time being.

…

Because his brother is a busy man who likes to be a hands-off boss in life, Ji Qian contributed to Chi Yuanfan's exercise throughout the day.

Chi Ke would either sit and watch them, or stand and lean against anywhere to watch, or else he would find a pull-out bar to lie on and hang on it to make a phone call.

As a result, at the end of the day, this person who did nothing sat in the tallest sofa chair in the restaurant in S City and sighed to Ji Qian, "I'm so tired."

This look is quite a noticeable change compared to the somewhat dignified Mr. Chi before.

Ji Qian was speechless and laughed: "Did you get four-digit steps on WeChat today?"

"I'm tired." It was obvious that Chi Ke really didn't like taking care of children, even if they were as well-behaved as Chi Yuanfan. "Aren't you tired?"

Ji Qian was fine. Although he also found it boring to accompany children, every time he turned around and saw Chi Ke's dazed expression staring at them with despair, he found it very interesting and his tiredness was instantly swept away.

The mood when you don’t know your feelings clearly and when you know for sure that you like someone is completely different.

Exploration and curiosity kept popping up to show his presence. Ji Qian wished he could dig this person upside down and see his past that he had never known.

Chi Ke said not to trust Lu Lijuan completely.

So what is the truth?

Ji Qian propped up his chin, looked at him steadily, and said, "You can't say I'm tired. I'm still very happy to share Boss Chi's worries."

Chi Ke raised his eyebrows.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chi Yuanfan coming back from the bathroom. He sat up straight without making a sound and said, "We just ordered a few things. Come and see what desserts you want."

Chi Yuanfan picked two good-looking pictures, then pointed at the hat on his head and said, "Brother, I met an uncle in a suit in the bathroom, and he said that my hat is the same as that of one of his employees."

This hat originally belonged to Chi Ke.

When he was packing up in the morning, he found Chi Yuanfan had been looking at the hat, so he gave it to him without saying a word.

Suits, staff...

Chi Ke and Ji Qian looked at each other and saw numbness and confusion in each other's eyes.

...It can’t be such a coincidence, right?

Is S City so small?

No office worker wants to see his boss on his weekends, just like no primary or secondary school student wants to see his class teacher on vacation.

What’s more, the boss is Leng Yunting.

Seeing those two people is definitely not a good thing.

Because of Chi Yuanfan's words, the two of them were on high alert during the meal, and were more concerned about the slightest movement around them than a sniper.

Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen. They left the restaurant safely and breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they arrived at the cinema, Chi Ke found that it was too early for them to relax.

When Leng Yunting and Xu Lemian, who were getting tickets in front, turned around, he suddenly grabbed Ji Qian's arm and made him turn his back to the two of them. His tall and strong man just blocked himself and Chi Yuanfan in the middle.

Chi Yuanfan looked up blankly: "Brother?"

As an insider, Ji Qian suddenly realized: "...are they really the two?"

Chi Ke nodded with mixed feelings and whispered in his ear: "The ticket I picked up is also for this comedy, but it's the last show at this time, so it's hard to change. There are no other movies suitable for Chi Yuanfan, so how about making do with this?"

"That's it. I'll go buy two masks." Ji Qian said, "We are in the last row. As long as we are not in the same row, the chances of being discovered are not high."

Twenty minutes later.

Chi Ke felt that the two heads at the bottom of his field of vision were particularly eye-catching.

How did it happen that I happened to sit in the front?

He poked Ji Qian with his arm unhappily.

Ji Qian patted his shoulder gently to comfort him.

It has come to this.

Just go ahead and watch it.

Only when the lights in the theater dimmed did Chi Ke feel a little safer.

He doesn't like watching movies very much, especially foreign movies.

Others watch movies to relax, but he watches movies to exercise his memory and reasoning ability. Because he is face blind, he needs to concentrate every time he watches a movie, otherwise there will be situations where people’s names and faces cannot be matched, which greatly affects his mood for watching movies.

This comedy is an ensemble portrait with many characters and complicated relationships. Chi Ke had not had a good rest in the first place and was mentally lazy and slack, so he simply stopped making things difficult for himself, gave up, and closed his eyes to rest.

Before closing his eyes, he reminded Ji Qian: "Look carefully, Chi Yuanfan may discuss this with you when we go out later."

Ji Qian said with a smile: "You don't even want to watch a movie, brother, are you here to accompany me today?"

"Isn't that enough?" Chi Ke asked, "Don't you just need my company?"

The words were rough but the logic was valid, Ji Qian was speechless.

He had no choice but to say, "Then you go to sleep. Can I lend you my shoulder to lean on?"

"It's okay, just watch your own thing and don't worry about me."

Chi Ke couldn't sleep so openly, it would be embarrassing if Chi Yuanfan next to him saw him.

And the cinema was so noisy that he couldn't sleep at all.

Chi Ke half-closed his eyes, occasionally opening them to look at Chi Yuanfan, and occasionally looking at the two old acquaintances in front of him.

It seemed that everything was under control, but he knew that nothing would go wrong if Chi Yuanfan didn't look. Even if the two in front opened their eyes and monitored them 360 degrees, they would not be able to detect their sudden illness.

Sure enough, halfway through the movie, the two affectionate people suddenly separated.

Leng Yunting's cell phone emitted a faint light, and the next second, without even saying hello, he stood up and walked out quickly.

Xu Lemian's face turned red, as if he had been slapped in public, and his whole body was shaking.

He looked at Leng Yunting's back in astonishment as he left, crushed the Coke in his hand, and the tears in his eyes were clearly visible in the darkness.

Fortunately, there were not many people watching the movie, and there were even fewer people in the last two rows of the VIP hall. Except for the couple next to Chi Ke and Xu Lemian, no one paid attention to them.

Chi Ke sighed silently.

If being in a relationship can make you so embarrassed, then what's the point of talking about it?

The sound of suppressed crying could be heard faintly. Chi Yuanfan heard the noise and was about to lower his head, but his chin was suddenly held by his brother.

"Concentrate on watching the movie." Chi Ke said.

Chi Yuanfan obediently ignored Xu Lemian.

Most domestic comedies end in tragedy or sensationalism. The movie has reached the sad end of the final timeline. Xu Lemian took this opportunity to sob quietly with everyone.

Chi Ke seldom watches a movie in its entirety, let alone is moved by the immersive scene. He simply cannot understand where people’s tears are coming from. By the time he realizes which character has just died, others may have already finished crying.

This movie looks really good, I cried most of the time in the theater.

Chi Ke casually handed a tissue to Chi Yuanfan who was wiping his tears, yawned, and turned his eyes to the other side——

“…”

He took back half of the tissue from Chi Yuanfan's hand and silently handed it to another man who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "So touching?"

Ji Qian was quite stubborn: "No need, I didn't cry."

Chi Ke: “…”

I really didn't cry.

My eyes were as red as if I hadn't slept for three nights, and I felt like they would burst in the blink of an eye.

Ji Qian pushed his face away and faced forward, saying firmly: "Don't, don't look at me, watch the movie."

Chi Ke laughed quietly, threw the tissue into his arms, and stopped looking at him.

This movie has a rating of 8+ on a certain website, which is a pretty good score. The comments after watching the movie all said how touching and tear-jerking the later part was.

Chi Ke had never taken such comments seriously before, but now, after hearing the cries of everyone, he finally understood the value of the eight points.

The story becomes more and more touching later on, with all the separations of life and death. He didn't watch it carefully at the beginning and didn't know who was the villain and who was the hero.

He knew that Ji Qian's reaction was the biggest when he recalled the mother-daughter love, and he changed his sitting position twice.

Chi Ke didn't look back, but stretched out his hand, accurately grabbed someone's neck, and squeezed it twice.

Ji Qian obediently lowered his head and let him rub it. After a while, he carefully took his wrist down and held it in his palm.

After the movie ended, everyone stood up and walked towards the bathroom, only Xu Lemian sat in his seat in a daze, not moving.

Ji Qian and Chi Ke were adjusting their masks and hats slowly. When they turned around, they found that Chi Yuanfan, who had hurriedly stood up, had spilled Coke on himself. He looked at them with a pale face, extremely nervous: "Isn't it, is it——"

"Did you choke?" Chi Ke half-knelt down to wipe his face. He didn't think it was a big deal and raised the corners of his lips in a good mood. "Fortunately, your brother Ji just held back and didn't use these papers."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't attack like this." Ji Qian's eyes returned to normal, and the blush was no longer visible. After Chi Ke wiped them for him casually, he took off his coat and covered Chi Yuanfan with it, then picked him up with one hand, "This is fate telling me that it's time to buy new clothes for our brother."

Who is your "our" brother?

Chi Ke sneered, "Take him to buy clothes first. I need to make a phone call and wait for you in the sky garden upstairs."

Just now, when I was watching a movie, my phone received five or six calls from Zhenting. He didn't want to disturb the immersive viewing experience of the people on both sides, so he resisted the urge to answer them.

Fortunately it’s not a big deal.

Secretary Dong said that Leng Boyao had selected several dress designs for the engagement banquet and that he needed to accompany Leng Boyao next week to discuss and finalize the designs.

Since the aesthetic tastes of several assistant secretaries who went there this week could not satisfy both the old man and Young Master Leng, this difficult task had to be given to him.

Chi Ke wondered: "Why doesn't Miss Su go and see it herself?"

"It's too late. We have to finalize it next week and start production." Secretary Dong sighed, "Miss Su doesn't have the time or energy to personally inquire about it, so she has handed it over to the young master."

Chi Ke was sharp: "Did something happen to her?"

The secretary said: "I had acute appendicitis an hour ago and am currently lying in the hospital awaiting preoperative examination."

Chi Ke: “.”

Now, an unmarried couple together cannot make up an appendix.

Chi Ke knew why Leng Yunting left the cinema in such a hurry not long ago.

After hanging up the phone, he saw Xu Lemian's figure appear by the pool not far away.

Xu Lemian stared at that place in a daze, then suddenly took off the necklace from her neck and threw it into the pool!

Chi Ke thought to himself that this was not good.

Could Xu Lemian be the kind of person who is so ruthless as to let go of things? He threw it away on impulse, so he would have to jump down and pick it up later, right?

“Crash——”

Xu Lemian jumped down.

Chi Ke: “.”

Are you crazy?!

The pool was very shallow, only reaching Xu Lemian's thighs, but the pool was very large and there were many decorations, so finding the necklace was not an easy task.

There weren't many people there at night, but the few people who were there all looked toward the pool.

Chi Ke didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, and was about to leave when a person running very fast suddenly passed by him and stepped directly into the pool.

Chi Ke frowned when his leather shoes and suit pants worth six figures got wet.

If he doesn't want the money, he can just put it into his account as a bonus. There's no need to waste it like this, right?

Unfortunately, Leng Yunting, who was blinded by love, could not hear his voice. He walked towards Xu Lemian against the resistance of the water and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Xu Lemian's eyes were red, and he was surprised, happy, and sad to see the person coming: "...Let me go, necklace, my necklace..."

"Necklace?" Leng Yunting vaguely remembered the pearl necklace he had worn tonight, and suddenly a nameless anger rose in his chest, "What kind of necklace do you treasure so much? Where did it come from? How much is it? One hundred thousand? One million? Come with me and I'll give you the money in cash."

Xu Lemian looked at him in disbelief, his eyes full of brokenness: "What are you talking about..."

Chi Ke, who was watching the fun, thought: Of course you feel strange.

I chose that necklace, I bought it, and I gave it away in your name.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is the consequence of giving gifts without putting enough thought into it.

Not many people would watch a one-man show, as everyone would just think they were seeing a lunatic. But a melodrama between two people would be very attractive, with more and more people turning their eyes to it, and some even wanting to call it a friend.

Although Xu Lemian was wearing sunglasses and a mask, many people were paying attention to him and would definitely recognize his identity, not to mention that there was Leng Yunting, who was also naked, next to him.

Thinking of how Old Man Leng had repeatedly told him to keep an eye on Leng Yunting and not let him embarrass Zhenting, Chi Ke sighed and called someone to clear the place, leaving the stage for these two people.

He was very efficient and after he cleared the area, the show between the two people in the pool had just begun.

"Boss Leng, please let me go." Xu Lemian struggled hard and said with tears in his eyes, "This is not a matter of money."

"It's not a matter of money? I think it's because you don't have enough money." Leng Yunting refused to let go. "Can I give you ten times as much?"

Xu Lemian was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he was extremely sad: "Boss Leng, do you have to insult the relationship we have known each other like this?"

Leng Yunting smiled: "Xu Lemian, I remember telling you that I don't like lovers who don't listen."

Xu Lemian did not delve into the deeper meaning of the word "lover", but said sadly: "You were not like this before..."

Anyway, he avoided the question and refused to mention that the necklace was the New Year's Eve gift that Leng Yunting gave him.

Chi Ke didn't know how they could communicate smoothly.

They are completely irrelevant and are just talking to themselves, with no logic at all. In a way, they are a perfect match.

He was enjoying his melon when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Chi Ke's heart skipped a beat and he immediately searched his pockets, but it was too late.

“I am looking up! Above the moon! So many dreams are flying freely~”

Xu Lemian and Leng Yunting stopped arguing at the same time and looked towards him.

Chi Ke: “…”

unwise.

Because he liked Phoenix Legend very much, after changing his mobile phone, he was too lazy to choose a ringtone and simply kept using the same one the original owner had, "Above the Moon".

Tsk.

Phoenix Legend is still too eye-catching.

He calmly hung up the harassing call and greeted Leng Yunting: "Second Young Master, Young Master, good evening. I didn't come over to say hello just now because I was afraid of disturbing you. Second Young Master, I have arranged for people to clear the area. No one will 'see' what happened tonight."

Don't panic if you get into trouble at work, try to take credit for it by avoiding the main issue first.

Leng Yunting was indeed very satisfied. Looking at Xu Lemian's stubborn eyes, he let go of her hand and said, "Okay, Xu Lemian, this is what you chose. If you want to find it, look for it carefully. If you can't find it, don't come up. I also want to see what is worth doing this for you. Chi Zhu, come and give me a hand."

Chi Ke stood on the shore and stretched out his hand, unable to help but mock in his heart: Someone is needed to pull people in such a shallow pool.

Leng Yunting went to shake his hand, looked up and saw his eyes: "Are you scolding me?"

"...How could that be?" Chi Ke said calmly, "I'm worried about you."

"Humph, I don't think you would dare." Leng Yunting grabbed his hand and pulled hard -

Chi Ke: “?”

Chi Ke was very confused before entering the water.

No, are you sick?

Shouldn't you use your waist and legs to support yourself when you come up and use his arms to support yourself? What's the point of pulling him?

His core was still stable, so he didn't fall in awkwardly. He just stumbled and his right leg stepped into the pool.

The water was less than knee-deep, so it wasn't a big deal, but having wet pants was never a pleasant thing.

Chi Ke looked at Leng Yunting with a sullen face: "What do you mean, Mr. Leng?"

Leng Yunting frowned: "Why are you so weak?"

Chi Ke was so angry that he almost laughed. He went ashore, rolled up his trouser legs, and said, "Come up by yourself. Don't make me take a photo and send it to the chairman."

"Chi! Ke! What else can you do besides complaining?!" Leng Yunting felt annoyed when he heard the word "Chairman". He was scolded by his grandfather almost every day in the past month.

He climbed up reluctantly and said irritably, "It's all wet, Chi Zhu, go buy me some clothes."

Chi Ke was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The pants I wear today are loose and drapey, and they fall down if I roll them up casually.

He was a little impatient. He stood up and pressed his waist. Before he had time to think about whether to roll again, a handsome guy with broad shoulders and narrow waist appeared from nowhere and squatted on one knee in front of him.

"Ji Qian?" Leng Yunting was surprised. "Why are you here too?"

He looked at the kid next to him and asked in surprise, "Are you the kid I met in the restaurant? What's your relationship with them?"

Chi Yuanfan is introverted but polite. Although he is a little afraid of this uncle, he will not ignore him. He explains in a very low voice that these are his two brothers.

"I thought it was one of your children." Leng Yunting said to Ji Qian with a strange look on his face, "Doctor Ji, why are you with Chi Zhu every time I see you recently? Are you two a little too close?"

Ji Qian ignored him and carefully helped Chi Ke roll up his wet trouser legs. After a moment of silence, he touched the skin below his knees with his fingers.

Sure enough, I was not mistaken last time. It was a surgical scar that had faded a long time ago but was still clear, and was half the length of my calf.

In addition, the entire calf is covered with unevenly distributed traces of healing from old injuries.

Chi Ke has fair skin, so these wounds look more shocking than those on ordinary people.

Ji Qian rubbed the darkest scar with his thumb, then wrapped his other four fingers around it and held the calf firmly with his palm.

He maintained this posture without moving, raised his head, and looked at Chi Ke from bottom to top. His eyes were calm and deep. He did not ask any questions, but for some reason he made people feel unbearable.

The night darkened quickly.

The evening breeze in May was a little chilly. My skin, which had been touched by water, should have been chilled by the cold, but at this moment it was burning because of that palm with such a strong presence.

Chi Ke half-closed his eyes, but in the end he didn't have the heart to pull out his calf.

He turned his head away, not intending to meet Ji Qian's gaze.
