Chapter 62: The confidence of having someone to support you
Fang Ke didn't know when he fainted on the ice or how he fainted.
He didn't know how Shen Cinian found him. When he opened his eyes, Shen Cinian was sitting on a chair, with his head slightly lowered, looking at him with a gloomy look.
The "bed" under me is very small, the "mattress" is sky blue, and it is covered with a small blanket as soft as a cloud.
This is a...
Fang Ke's pupils suddenly shrank.
This is in Shen Cinian's room, and under him lies a puppy nest!
To be honest, he had never seen Shen Ci Nian like this before: with a completely nonchalant attitude, his bare toes actually stepped on him lightly as if he were a pet dog.
There was a reaction. Fang Ke arched his back somewhat impatiently.
Shen Cinian seemed to be fully aware of his condition. He chuckled nonchalantly and stepped on his shoulder.
Like some kind of mockery or showing off.
Fang Ke clenched his fists and did not act rashly.
"What did I say?" Shen Qinian slowly rubbed his shoulder, but his eyes were not harsh at all, instead they were full of flirting. "You have a big mouth but you don't ask. When you encounter something, you choose to run away. How much patience do you think I have to waste your time on you?"
Fang Ke gasped softly, then realized that he was being led by the nose, and even his desires were out of his control. His face became even colder, and he turned his head away and retorted indifferently: "Just tell me what I ask."
"Whether you ask or not, I'll tell you. I know exactly what you're thinking. I thought you were smarter." Shen Qinian lifted the puppy's chin with the back of his foot and leaned over to look him in the eye. "30 billion is not a small amount, Fang Ke. What are you? Who do you belong to?"
"Should I hang a bell around your neck to remind you constantly: who you are?"
Fang Ke was a little annoyed, but he didn't move. Just as he was about to bite his lips, Shen Cinian's hand pinched his face, preventing him from biting.
Shen Qinian narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is the first time I tell you this rule. I don't agree with you damaging my property. If you hurt yourself or commit suicide again, I will let you know what true pain and cruelty are."
The implication is that the other party Ke is Shen Qinian's property.
Fang Ke's knuckles began to crack, but Shen Ci Nian ignored his protest.
"Now, ask me a question." Shen Cinian lowered his crossed legs, and the force holding his chin suddenly loosened.
"Just a reminder, kneeling."
Fang Ke pretended not to hear the last sentence. He sat in the soft and fluffy doghouse with his legs hugged and his head buried in his knees. His voice was muffled and a little bit aggrieved.
"You, you and Song..."
"If you keep sitting here, then I refuse to answer." Shen Qinian really left him alone, turned his chair to the side, and even turned on the computer.
The small nest was next to the computer desk. Fang Ke sat there with his head buried for a long time, and suddenly began to cry silently.
His heart ached. He had never been so embarrassed before. He was actually sitting next to someone and crying like a little brat!
After crying for a while, he choked up and said, "You, you stand, stand where, where... side..."
No one answered.
Shen Cinian was concentrating on looking at the computer screen. His right hand, which was sliding the mouse, suddenly stopped and his trouser leg was grabbed by a dog's paw.
"Chen...Chen Ci Nian," Fang Ke's tone was more fragile than ever before. "Why should I kneel, kneel before you..."
This is not a question.
In most cases, saying "why" means that you think the other party is "not qualified".
But this is not the case.
This sentence is asking Shen Qinian: "What identity do you have to ask me to do this?"
Shen Cinian's gaze shifted from the screen to Fang Ke's face, body, and knees. After a moment, his voice remained gentle, but his meaning was clear: "I refuse to answer."
Fang Ke suddenly grasped some key information from it.
It was a refusal to answer, not a rejection, not a clear rejection like before.
After about half a minute, he slowly moved his body and knelt on the blanket.
"Be good," Shen Cinian turned the chair back and touched his head gently, with a soothing look in his eyes, "You don't have to kneel straight, sit down, adjust yourself, and make yourself more comfortable."
Without any hesitation, Fang Ke relaxed his waist instantly, spread his legs slightly, and knelt down.
It's a bit like sitting like a duck.
As soon as he sat down, he pursed his lips for a while, but in the end he didn't ask the question he wanted to ask the most, so he just asked one by one.
"You, with the players, you..."
"Although I am the vice president, I never attend any of their meetings in this capacity because every meeting seems stupid to me."
"Oh," the gloom in Fang Ke's heart dissipated in an instant. He actually didn't care about those students from the National Defense University at all. That was just a fuse. The question he really cared about was now answered, and he looked much more obedient than before.
But he didn't want to show it too obviously. His voice remained in a strange state between "cold" and "stifling", sounding a little awkward as he said: "Then you, you and Song, you..."
"I don't feel anything for him," Shen Qinian frowned slightly, "I even feel a bit disgusted with him lately."
He didn't like people openly disobeying his orders, nor did he like Song Shuyi acting like a demon in front of him.
He was a little helpless: "I don't know why you always think that I have feelings for him. You always misunderstand me. I have explained it to you so many times, but you just turn a deaf ear to it."
It's just like turning a deaf ear to the wind, so what.
Fang Ke turned his head away, looking very unhappy.
"Then you...you buy me..."
“In fact, I didn’t plan to buy you,” Shen Yinian’s tone became more helpless, “My original order was to let Shen Lin cut off your relationship with the Fang family. As for whether he simply became a member of the Fang family or sent someone from the Fang family in, it’s all fine. I don’t care.”
After staying in the human world for a long time, Chen Lin actually began to abide by the law and be a good citizen.
Shen Cinian raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
The method was too gentle, which was a bit embarrassing for him. I need to remind him again another day.
If it were in the past, Fang Ke might not agree with Shen Cinian's approach due to family affection and his vague fantasy of Fang Jimin's fatherly love.
But now, he didn't care. Even if Fang Jimin finally shamelessly cried and begged him, he wouldn't care and might even kick him away in disgust.
My heart has been constantly touched since just now. The feeling is very strange, as if it has completely disappeared since my mother passed away.
Is it... the sense of security of being protected?
No, it's different.
Seeing him stunned, Shen Qinian tapped his forehead with his index finger: "Knowing that I am the one behind the Shen family, you should know how to deal with things when you encounter them."
How to deal with it
"Talk to me and ask for my help."
Fang Ke suddenly understood what this feeling was.
This is the confidence that comes from having someone backing you up.
"Master..." He suddenly put his hand on Shen Cinian's leg and called out this name again.
"Well," Shen Qinian rubbed his hair, "The dog's hair is long and needs to be trimmed. One day I'll take you to a pet shop and give you a nice haircut."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ke exploded instantly.
Cut your fucking dog hair!
Your hair is dog hair!
Fang Ke's slightly touched expression turned cold in an instant. He stood up without hesitation and punched Shen Qinian in the glasses.
Shen Cinian sighed and threw the broken glasses into the trash can.
"Then go find a barber yourself," he paused, then added, "Just a haircut will be enough. Don't dye your hair yellow; it looks jarring."
"Oh." Fang Ke put one hand in his pocket and walked out the door like a millionaire.
Xiao Tang opened the passenger door for him and took him to a nearby barber shop.
…
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Fang Ke came back.
Chen Cinian silently looked at Fang Ke's colorful hair that was spiky like a hedgehog dropped into a paint bucket. There was silence, and then deeper silence.
"Look at your ass," Fang Ke said, standing beside the sofa with his arms folded. "There's no yellow hair."
There is no yellow hair, but there are hairs of all colors except yellow.
Shen Ci Nian laughed, "Master, you went to pick out paint this morning."
So what? He has a handsome face and can pull off any hairstyle and look good in it.
Fang Ke snorted nonchalantly, walked up to Chen Qinian, and raised his chin: "Help me with PR. Those bastards from the Security Bureau took advantage of me being in the ICU to spread rumors about me and make me take the blame. I'm going to make Chen Li know why his intestines can be pulled out of his asshole, and then I'll hang him to death!"
His tone was very arrogant, and his behavior of provoking him by saying a bunch of dirty words in front of him was even more arrogant. But Shen Qinian just flicked Fang Ke's head and said casually: "Don't mind my dirty mouth."
Fang Ke raised his head and snorted again, "Bitch deserves to be sweared at. I don't think it's satisfying enough when you're too civilized."
Shen Cinian shook his head. He was not that old-fashioned person. Although he didn't like to hear dirty words, this situation was not an exception.
As the family sat around the table for lunch, Chen Lin was embarking on his first public opinion counterattack.
Major marketing accounts that have been dormant for a long time are beginning to emerge.
News spread one by one.
[Unveiling the truth behind the engagement banquet of the two great families of Fang and Wang: A black swan falling from the sky.]
[Misunderstood Fang Ke: It turns out that he almost died under the deliberate persecution of some people. ]
[Fang Ke's background: The eldest daughter of the Su family did not actually betray the family. He followed the eldest daughter's agent to uncover the conspiracy of the wealthy family.]
[The Security Bureau, give me an explanation! Why have you never made Fang Ke's achievements public, allowing ignorant people to criticize such a distinguished figure?]
The netizens who came to watch the fun quickly split into two fierce factions and began to quarrel online. Chen Lin saw the opportunity and sent a large number of water armies, so he was caught off guard and public opinion was overwhelmingly on Fang Ke's side!
After all, among humans, there are still few people who can control spirits, but most of them are ordinary people.
Chen Lin grasped their weaknesses: the first on the list was in seclusion, the third on the list was of low rank, and Fang Ke was the only one who could protect them and had protected them for so many years.
The combination of highly inflammatory words and tear-jerking clips easily reversed the public's deeply ingrained views over the years.
Some people on the Internet began to speak up for Fang Ke.
And there are quite a few of them.
Those bloggers and video hosts who had originally insulted Fang Ke had their comment sections flooded with comments under Shen Lin's deliberate arrangement. Under pressure and threats from the Shen Group behind the scenes, they began to issue apology statements one by one.
In the afternoon, Fang Ke looked at his phone and didn't say anything for a long time.
It turns out that the dirt that has accumulated over the years can be washed away so easily.
If it is so easy, then why is it that no one from the Fang family, the Wang family or the Security Bureau is willing to stand up and speak for him?
As soon as Shen Cinian sat down on the sofa, a puppy appeared on his legs.
Fang Ke sat astride Shen Qinian’s legs, his arms around Shen Qinian’s waist, his face buried in Shen Qinian’s chest.
The puppy's hair was a bit prickly, so Shen Cinian patted Fang Ke's back and wanted to drive him away.
"Master..." Fang Ke didn't move. He just hugged him, leaned on him, and kept calling him, "Master..."
"Chen Ci Nian..."
"Well," Shen Ci Nian finally didn't chase him away, and reached out to press down the top of his head, "This will be your safe word from now on."
"Call me and I will protect you."
