Chi Ke passed away suddenly on the day he was promoted as a director, at the age of 26. As an overworked employee tormented by his overbearing company following the ‘996’ pattern, his final tho...
Chapter 60 Chapter 60 I know you love me.
"Go straight home?"
“…”
"rest?"
“…”
"Tired?"
“…”
Ji Qian stood at the entrance of the alley with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at the person who was coming with a smile.
Chi Ke walked over calmly, looked at him for three seconds, lowered his head, and rested his forehead on his shoulder.
Ji Qian: “.”
Who allowed you to cheat openly?
Ji Qian's heart was as hard as iron: "It's useless, get up. My classmate, I'm settling accounts, please correct your attitude."
Chi Ke remained motionless and calmly said, "I'm really tired."
Ji Qian uttered a sad "ah" in his heart, grabbed his hair in helplessness and rage, and said to himself: I'm going to be angry, I'm going to be angry, I'm going to be angry, this matter can't just be left unresolved, otherwise later -
Chi Ke: "Are you really angry with me?"
"No." Ji Qian put his arm around the man's waist and hugged him tightly, patting his back, not knowing whether to comfort him or himself, "Forget it, forget it, considering your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I'll let it go. I won't bother with you, but next time you are not allowed to hide it from me, or I will secretly follow and investigate you."
"Yeah." Chi Ke just raised his hand when he was grabbed by the neck and pulled away.
Before he could resist, Ji Qian had already pressed his forehead against his with a sullen face.
"You've lost weight and have a fever." Ji Qian kissed his forehead, feeling distressed. "You've tortured yourself like this after just a few days of not seeing you?"
Chi Ke pursed his lips: "I noticed it."
"Then why don't you wear a coat when you come back at night? It's almost autumn, and the temperature changes a lot. We can't be so careless." Ji Qian took off his short-sleeved cardigan and put it on his shoulders. "At least wear an extra layer. Just make do with it. Get this done quickly and go back to sleep."
Chi Ke was in the wrong first, so he obediently put on his coat and followed him into the dead end, where he saw three men tied up and thrown in a corner.
Chi Ke frowned: "Are you alone? No helpers?"
"Yes, they are waiting at the intersection ahead. It's too conspicuous if they come together. I originally planned to take them over and then take action, but I didn't expect them to be so easy to deal with." Ji Qian kicked the one at his feet in disdain, took out the cloth torn from his mouth, and took out his mobile phone to record, "Explain yourself, who asked you to come?"
The back of that man's head was still burning with pain, and a few clumps of blood from being knocked out had stuck together and formed a clot.
His unnaturally bent calf was kicked twice, and his face turned pale instantly, with cold sweat pouring out.
They are all street thugs who just do small jobs that don't hurt anyone.
Where have you ever encountered someone who would throw someone's head against the wall without saying a word?
He trembled and said, "Murder is against the law! Even if I die, you will have to pay with your life!"
"Tsk." Ji Qian deleted the recording impatiently. "You won't die. I know what I'm going to do. I don't have time to waste on you. Hurry up and tell me, or I'll break your right leg too."
The gang leader saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so before he could hesitate, the gap-toothed man next to him had already crawled over on his knees: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! Brother! Dad! Don't do it! We can talk it out! Everything is easy to talk about!"
Ji Qian pressed the start recording button approvingly.
Gap Tooth: "We were also instructed by Boss Xu... No, no, a man named Xu, to take Mr. Chi's phone to see if there is any contact and bank account transactions..."
Chi Ke listened to them betraying their boss, but his eyes fell on Ji Qian, who had an expressionless face.
He had just gotten off the car and caught a cold wind, so his brain was a little dull at the moment, so after these people shut up, it took him a long time to sort out the information and integrate his thinking.
After Ji Qian saved the recording, he called someone to clean up the mess: "Come and have two people deal with it. Don't let anyone know."
Chi Ke said slowly: "I think..."
"Don't think so." Ji Qian put away his phone and said seriously, "The person has been arrested and the audio has been recorded. There is no need to rush. I will have people handle the questions and investigations. I will solve the other problems after I wake up tomorrow. Okay?"
Chi Ke nodded reluctantly, but couldn't help but said, "I still think that we should first..."
"My dear husband." Ji Qian raised his index finger and placed it half an inch from his lips, stopping him from saying the next thing. "Although it was a question just now, I didn't intend to give you the option of refusing."
Chi Ke lowered his long eyelashes, clearly realizing that there was no room for negotiation this time. He decisively gave up struggling, leaned forward slightly, and put his lips on the tip of the raised index finger, like a light kiss.
With this action, he looked up at Ji Qian, tacitly approving the other party's self-assertion.
Ji Qian's Adam's apple swallowed unconsciously, his fingers curled up, reluctantly withdrawing them, all the fire in his chest extinguished, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go home."
He really wanted to carry the person back, but the person would definitely get angry if he really did that, so he could only hold his waist and walk faster.
The residential area where Chi Ke lived was just a few steps away, so there was no need for them to go back to Ji Qian's big house.
After entering the house, Ji Qian went into the bathroom to wash up first without saying a word. After the bathroom was warm, Chi Ke was allowed to take a shower.
Ji Qian was outside, busy cleaning up the bedroom that had been unoccupied for a week.
"Where's your luggage?" Ji Qian asked casually while struggling with the bed.
"I put it in the assistant's car and it will be delivered tomorrow." Chi Ke was afraid that the luggage would get in the way, so he didn't take it back directly.
"Just rinse once, don't take too long." Someone has a more severe mysophobia than the doctor and cannot sleep without a shower. Ji Qian can only let him rinse quickly on the condition that he swears not to take cold showers.
He had never done housework and it took him a long time to make the bed. Then he stood at the bathroom door with an oversized blanket, waiting for his turn.
As soon as the door opened, hot air came out. Ji Qian quickly wrapped Chi Ke, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with a blanket.
Chi Ke: “?”
"Remember to keep warm. How can you only wear a short-sleeved shirt and shorts?" Ji Qian exerted force with his arms, picked up the silkworm pupa with one hand, and walked forward steadily.
Chi Ke felt dizzy and when his vision stabilized, he found himself lying on the bed safely.
Ji Qian stuffed a cup of hot water into his hand: "Drink more and take your temperature again."
The words were still caring and considerate, but Chi Ke could hear the subtle emotion hidden in them.
When Ji Qiangang found the thermometer and sat beside the bed, he spoke directly: "I reflect that it was indeed my wrong decision not to report this matter to you as soon as possible."
Ji Qian glanced at him, shook the thermometer, and asked him to clamp it tightly: "What are you talking about? How could Mr. Chi make a wrong decision?"
Chi Ke thought that this time it was really hard to coax her. He couldn't find a breakthrough point for a while, so he could only coax her without any skills: "I didn't hide it from you on purpose."
"Of course you didn't hide it from me on purpose, otherwise I wouldn't have found out about it so easily."
As soon as he learned the truth of the matter, Ji Qian knew that Chi Ke had deliberately set up this trap.
No one is better at overt conspiracy than Mr. Chi.
I didn't say anything, but told him clearly: You don't need to know, but I won't use so many means to hide the truth from you. If you really want to know, go and check it out yourself. It's best not to interfere, but you can interfere if you have to.
Chi Ke's world was indeed not defensive against him.
But at the same time, that world had no intention of actively inviting him.
"I always thought that if time was long enough and I was more patient, maybe one day you would be able to rely on me a little." Ji Qian took the thermometer and confirmed that it was only a little over 37 degrees. He breathed a sigh of relief and tucked the person into bed. "Now I understand. The probability of expecting you to think of me first when something happens is lower than the probability of an Aladdin's lamp appearing in my house tomorrow."
Chi Ke was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
Is this disappointment? Or regret?
He said in a somewhat tough tone: "I said that no matter what you do, it will not be considered crossing the line."
"Yes, but I realized this a little late." Ji Qian replied, "Before, I was afraid that you would mind, so I didn't dare to check your phone. I was troubled for a long time. But don't worry, I won't have such thoughts in the future-uh!"
Ji Qian was caught off guard and was grabbed by the neck and pressed on the bed. Two buttons of the collar of his pajamas were open, revealing a small piece of his white and slightly heaving chest, which trembled up and down with his rapid breathing.
He wanted to cough a few times to relieve the severe pain and suffocation in his throat, but the fingers on his artery were pinching him more and more forcefully, forcing the cough back into his chest.
The breathable air is gradually disappearing, and the instinct for survival makes people want to resist.
He just lay there quietly, staring at the expressionless face of the man above him without blinking.
Noticing that his hand's pulse was becoming more and more violent, Chi Ke did not slow down his strength.
Two minutes ago, he had even figured out how to renovate the attic of his new house.
But at this moment, Chi Ke still asked in a gentlemanly manner: "Do you want to break up with me?"
There is only one reason why he still has his sanity -
The lamb to be slaughtered not only did not resist, but raised its chin fearlessly, vaguely responding to his touch.
Beads of sweat had already appeared on Ji Qian's forehead due to his difficulty breathing. When he heard the words, his pupils constricted and a hint of helplessness flashed across them.
He raised his hand, his movements were a little slow, and gently smoothed Chi Ke's frowning brows, sighing: "...I love you."
The force on my neck suddenly loosened.
"Cough, cough! Cough—"
Chi Ke stood up and knelt on both sides of Ji Qian's waist. He looked at him with complicated eyes as he coughed violently and his lips turned a little pale.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't for his habit of keeping his spine straight, his back might have bent.
It’s not because of the regret and guilt.
It's heartbreaking.
"You are so cruel..." Ji Qian laughed and joked in a hoarse voice, "You are trying to murder your husband, husband."
Chi Ke didn't say anything, nor did he struggle to free himself from the hand that was held at his side.
"I just want to tell you, since you don't mind me breaking into your house and rummaging through your drawers, I won't be polite." Ji Qian grabbed his knees, suddenly exerted force, and at the same time gently pushed his waist upwards.
Chi Ke fell under his force and fell on the bed. Then his shoulder was pushed gently and he lay flat.
The two people's positions were reversed in the blink of an eye.
The difference is that Ji Qian did not treat her beloved husband cruelly like Chi Ke did. Instead, she put one hand behind his waist to protect him and the other hand on his neck.
They were so close that their breaths blended together.
"We won't break up." He whispered a promise, or perhaps a vow, but if you listen carefully, you will find that it is a persistent whisper that is almost like a spell, low and firm, "You promised me a lifetime."
Chi Ke's breath was choked and he felt like his heart skipped a beat.
This reaction is even stronger than hearing "I love you", as if the love that has been forcibly stretched straight suddenly becomes as tortuous as an electrocardiogram, piercing the chest sharply.
It doesn't hurt.
Very cool.
Indescribable joy and satisfaction.
He moved uncomfortably, but was mistaken for a struggle, and his legs were pushed apart with force, and Ji Qian got one knee stuck in it.
"I respect every choice you make. You will do whatever you want in the future. But whether you are willing to give it to me or not, I will definitely use my own methods to get it." Ji Qian said, "You can be angry with me, scold me, and hit me, but I will not accept you breaking up with me because of this."
"You said you can let me make trouble, can you promise not to regret it...ah, no, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you, you can't regret it, there is no room for negotiation."
Chi Ke narrowed his eyes and rubbed his fingers on the marks on his neck. "Weren't you afraid just now?"
Ji Qian smiled and said firmly: "You won't really kill him."
Chi Ke sneered: "Are you so sure?"
"Isn't it?" Ji Qian leaned down lower, tilted his head, held his earlobe and sucked it gently, "I know you love me, you can't bear to let me go."
Become arrogant because of being favored.
This was Chi Ke’s first reaction.
But on second thought, he had no right to criticize others.
When he launched the attack, he had not reserved any means of defense, and the prey could easily overthrow him, the incompetent catcher.
He has learned free fighting, how could he not know that he has exposed his flaws?
They are so unscrupulous, but they are just relying on the fact that some people are willing to submit and will not resist.
"How clever." Chi Ke pushed his head away, "You guessed it all."
Ji Qian ignored the teasing in his tone and asked, "Is there a prize for guessing?"
Chi Ke asked back: "What do you want?"
Ji Qian pressed his thumb on his lips and rubbed them hard.
Chi Ke said simply: "No."
"It's not up to you. You have to give it to me." As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Qian leaned over and stole a kiss on the corner of his mouth with the flavor of lemon toothpaste.
Chi Ke subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the wet corners of his lips.
Ji Qian wanted to get rid of it with one strike, but he was stunned for a moment when he saw this. As if possessed by a ghost, when he retracted his tongue, he stuck his ring finger and middle finger between his teeth.
Chi Ke: “…”
This time I really want to tear down the roof.
Obviously, Ji Qian also felt guilty after doing this action.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to remain calm: "You, your teeth are straight...even."
The word "整" (zheng) consists of three sounds.
Ji Qian opened his eyes, his pupils dilated in shock.
Chi Ke bit his two knuckles, put his tongue against the fingertips and made a flexible circle, then finally pushed the two fingers out and raised his eyes at him.
“Is the prize good enough?”
