Chapter 424 No Car, But Brother Ji's Rocking Chair
He Rui was stared at so hard that he started to cower like a dog. He began to rub his hands with frustration. "Give it some time. Just treat it as a break-in. If you get along well, we can officially be together, okay?"
"We have been working together for nine months." Ji Changqing said in a firm tone and did not give in.
He Rui was so stunned by this that he didn't know how to respond.
It is undeniable that what his brother said is true.
After being together with this person for such a long time, the two of them have indeed gotten along well with each other.
Just speaking of roommates, the other person is perfect in every aspect, without any shortcomings that he cannot tolerate.
But he also really wanted to figure out how he felt about this person, to understand his own heart...
He Rui hesitated and said, "That's different, right? I'm talking about living together before marriage... to see if we're suitable for living together?"
"We have been living together and sleeping in the same bed. At first, you were the one who took the initiative to ask me to live in the same room. At that time, I thought..."
Ji Changqing looked at the delicate face of the person in his arms, paused, and added, "I thought you insisted on living in the same room with me because you wanted to seduce me."
He Rui's eyes widened, "Why do you have such an illusion?
The reason I insisted on living together in the beginning was because I was afraid you would leave me and sneak away. And since you're such a homebody, I was also afraid I'd die in the living room without you even knowing.
I thought it would be safer to stay under your nose." He felt a little embarrassed when talking about his little trick.
Ji Changqing's eyes softened as he pinched his cheek and shook it, "You're not stupid."
"Of course, when have I ever been stupid?" He Rui continued confidently.
Ji Changqing's fingers caressed and kneaded the soft flesh on He Rui's cheeks. Seeing the idiot whose emotions and expressions showed no resistance to his intimate gestures, he changed the subject, "You don't mind my touch at all, so why don't you want to confirm our relationship? Are you repulsed by my gender?"
When He Rui heard his brother Ji start asking this again, his shoulders slumped and he said weakly, "I'm not rejecting it...it's just...I haven't figured it out myself yet, why do you keep pushing me?"
He looked at Ji Changqing listlessly and couldn't help pouting, "How can you be so scary right from the start?
Ever since I told you what the BGM said to me just now, you haven't let me get off your lap.
You don't even give me the right to choose where I want to sit, and you even want my relatives to come with you. You're so, so enthusiastic... I can't handle it.
Besides, before I met you, I was not the type to fall in love easily. If I didn’t have a sense of boundaries, I would not be able to accept others easily.
Then I might have been married long ago and had children everywhere."
Because of his family situation since childhood, he has always been a little resistant to the love and affection of girls.
However, towards his brother Ji, he did not have the resistance he had when facing an admirer.
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes to look at him, and repeated his words lightly without a trace of warmth in his tone, "Children running all over the floor?"
"..." He Rui suddenly sensed a hint of danger. He quickly changed the subject and began to play dumb. "Oh, by the way, Brother Ji, what's going on with that pregnant woman? Isn't it said that it's difficult to get pregnant after a disaster? What's her situation?"
Ji Changqing's dark eyes stared at him quietly.
That look put He Rui under great pressure.
He had no choice but to continue the awkward conversation: "Could it be that she was conceived just before the disaster?"
The other party remained silent.
He Rui changed the subject again, "Come to think of it, I almost couldn't be born."
Ji Changqing finally responded, frowning slightly in concern, "What's going on?"
"I come from a single-parent family. Not long after my mother became pregnant with me, she wanted to divorce me and almost had me aborted.
Later, I was pregnant for several weeks beyond my due date and there was no pregnancy.
Logically speaking, it is dangerous if it exceeds ten months, it seems to be called a post-term pregnancy?
My mom was exaggerating. She said she was prepared for me to be stillborn, but I managed to survive. "Brother Ji, do you think I'm the chosen one? Amazing! I'm incredibly resilient."
Ji Changqing: "..." He had originally frowned when he heard this, but he didn't expect there would be such a turn of events at the end.
"My mother's life was really not easy. She had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me, and she raised two children alone." He Rui's voice was low, "It's a pity that I can't fulfill my filial duty."
Noticing He Rui's mood change, Ji Changqing put his arm around his shoulders, letting him lean against his chest, and patted him on the back, "Live well."
He Rui was puzzled, "Why do you say that suddenly?"
Ji Changqing gently stroked the top of his head, his voice exceptionally gentle, "If you can live a healthy and happy life here, it will be the best response to those relatives who care about you."
He Rui looked at his brother Ji coldly for two seconds, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
Afraid of being seen with tears in his eyes like Brother Ji, he quickly leaned on the other person's shoulder and buried his face.
I rested my head on Brother Ji's shoulder and closed my eyes.
Perhaps it was because this embrace was too warm and comforting. After feeling uncomfortable for a while, I gradually began to feel sleepy.
He Rui couldn't help but follow the posture of sitting in the other's arms, relaxing his body little by little, and gradually putting the center of gravity of his whole body on Ji Changqing.
"Are you sleepy?" he asked vaguely.
If his brother Ji was also sleepy, he could endure it and wait until the other brother had rested before he could rest.
The one who responded to him was the one who was hugging him. It was as if he had suddenly turned into a cradle, holding him and starting to rock him gently, like coaxing a baby.
"Go to sleep." A whisper came into my ear.
An inexplicable feeling of happiness lingered in his heart. He Rui felt the treatment of being held and coaxed to sleep as he had done as a child. He relaxed in the other person's arms and soon fell asleep.
