Chapter 542: Ruirui's conspiracy theory
Ji Changqing is not worried about the risk of cheating on his partner because he actually doesn't like humans very much.
In the five years before his death, there were survivors who threw themselves into his arms.
Now that he has a domain, he hears people in the shelter discussing sending people to him, and this is not an isolated case.
He was sure that the only thing that could touch his heartstrings was the idiot in his arms who was crying so hard that his nose was red.
Over the years, he has only had thoughts about He Rui.
What he was really afraid of was whether this love that once surged in would one day fade away uncontrollably just as it had come.
He Rui was still sobbing, and because of fear and the ending of the book, his tears almost completely soaked the blue handkerchief.
Seeing him like this, Ji Changqing's eyes began to burn, and his Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed back the sobs. "I will do my best... to maintain this heart... and not extinguish our love."
"Yeah!" He Rui stopped crying, responded with a nasal tone, and tightly grasped Ji Changqing's hand.
"I just read that book, and I realized that the reason the scumbag in the book fell in love with someone else and was fickle was because he'd been apart from his partner for too long, and he'd developed feelings for her over time... But wouldn't they get tired of being together every day?" He Rui sniffed. "Why are feelings so complicated? Damn it..."
Ji Changqing promised, "We will never separate."
He Rui reached out his hand from under the quilt and covered his lips. "Brother Ji, can you please stop making promises? I'm scared just listening to them. As soon as you say forever, I feel like I'm going to die soon..."
This was so adorable that Ji Changqing couldn't help but laugh at the inappropriate moment. Seeing the other party looking at him with wet eyes, Ji Changqing took out a wet towel and wiped He Rui's tear-stained face bit by bit, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a treasure.
"How do you know what I'm feeling? Weren't you sleeping?" He Rui raised his head, his eyes still slightly red, his fingers unconsciously clutching the corner of the quilt.
Ji Changqing's gaze was gentle and focused. He reached out and gently wiped away the remaining moisture from He Rui's eyes. "Since you started reading, I sensed you were in a bad mood, so I kept peeking at you and the two books you were reading." As if fearing He Rui might misunderstand, he added, "It was only tonight. I was actually asleep before that, not pretending to be asleep to trick you."
He Rui nodded and gave a thumbs up, "6. Your eyes will bend."
He paused and asked curiously, "Are you using your mental vision or clairvoyance? Why is my mental vision so blurry and gray? How do you see the words clearly?"
Ji Changqing tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about how to explain this complicated question. In the end, he simply said: "I use the domain to see, and the field of vision... is clearer."
He Rui's eyes were full of envy.
His eyes fell on the light blue cotton handkerchief folded into the size of a palm next to him. It was the one Ji Changqing had used to wipe his tears just now.
He stared at the handkerchief for a few seconds and asked, "You used a handkerchief?" His eyes wandered over Ji Changqing's face, "Why didn't I see you take it out to wipe your tears when you cried?"
Ji Changqing smiled lightly and said nothing. But seeing that Ruirui had diverted his attention, he secretly felt relieved. Just as he was about to ask if he wanted a midnight snack, the fool suddenly said something shocking: "I cried so much that my handkerchief is soaked. I have so much water."
Ji Changqing's expression suddenly became strange, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He tried hard to control himself from showing any strange expression.
His fool apparently didn't realize what suggestive words he had said, and was still reaching for the handkerchief.
Ji Changqing refused to miss this opportunity. He picked up He Rui, who was wrapped in a quilt like a silkworm, and lowered his head close to his ear, saying in a low voice: "Baby, is it too much?"
He Rui tilted his head, frowned and looked at Ji Changqing blankly for two seconds, before he slowly realized what Brother Ji meant.
His entire face flushed with embarrassment. Shamefully, he stretched out his fist and punched Ji Changqing in the stomach: "Perverted Brother Ji!!"
...
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of the book, and because He Rui finally realized what was going on, his originally dull nerves became sensitive, and he couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.
I never thought about the "burnout period" before, but now I can't help but feel inexplicably concerned and worried.
If he really reaches the burnout stage, what will Brother Ji become?
What will be your attitude towards him?
Will he still be as gentle as he is now? Will he become indifferent?
He Rui seemed to have been assimilated by Brother Ji and became sentimental. But he didn't expect that his momentary loss could be keenly captured by Brother Ji.
The man's eyes flashed with worry, and he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." He Rui shrugged casually.
He felt that expressing these concerns now would show a lack of trust in each other, add to the trouble, and be meaningless.
After all, this is a matter of the future and cannot be solved now.
This kind of worry, just like his fear that Brother Ji would be cold to him after he got a sister-in-law, was purely unnecessary worry.
He hated to lose the warmth he already had.
He liked the way Ji Changqing's heart and eyes were full of him and she loved him wholeheartedly.
"Don't be like this, tell me." Ji Changqing frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on him, his tone filled with an unavoidable insistence.
He Rui hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and confessed in a muffled voice, "I'm wondering, once the honeymoon period is over and you've returned to your normal state of mind, will you still smile at me? Will you become cold and icy? Just like those husbands in books whose novelty has worn off..."
Ji Changqing's eyes darkened, and regret flashed in his eyes - he once again regretted showing He Rui those two books.
When He Rui saw the ring on Brother Ji's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right!! We are getting married, not just dating! You are not allowed to divorce me, otherwise..."
He racked his brains to find some harsh words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing that could really threaten his brother Ji.
He wanted to say "I'll never talk to you again", but then he thought, if the other person really doesn't care about him by then, he might even secretly be thankful that he is sensible.
Ji Changqing's eyes flickered slightly. He lowered his voice, gently stroked He Rui's cheek with his fingertips, and whispered a reminder: "Your music works on me, I can't block it out."
He Rui was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, as if he had found a magic weapon to restrain Monkey King: "That's right! If you dare to dislike me, I will torture you with my magic voice every day, making you cry out to heaven and earth in vain! You will never leave me."
Ji Changqing chuckled and nodded in agreement, his eyes full of indulgence.
But the next second, He Rui wilted again and whispered, "But you are so powerful. If you really don't care about me anymore, and I torture and threaten you every day, will you kill me directly in anger..." Thinking of this possibility, his heart ached, his eyes turned slightly red, and he felt very aggrieved.
Ji Changqing's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed his wrist and said with a rare hint of panic in his voice, "How could I possibly hurt you?!"
"But when our feelings fade, you might become like you did at the beginning, and find me annoying because I talk too much and am noisy..." He Rui's eyes were sore.
"Ruirui!" Ji Changqing interrupted him, holding his face with both hands, forcing him to look straight at her, and said word by word, "We are a match made in heaven. Have you forgotten? You traveled across the world to come to me and find me. You are my only love."
He Rui was still depressed, and played the background music "Can't afford it" with grievance - there are so many beauties around you, but I...
The enchanting music instantly exploded in Ji Changqing's mind. He frowned slightly, his expression froze for a moment, and then he raised his hand helplessly to support his temples, pressing lightly on his forehead with his slender fingers.
"Ruirui..." There was a hint of danger in his cold voice, and his always gentle eyes dimmed at this moment.
He decided to use the most direct way to shut up this cranky fool - to prove his intentions with his actions.
His slender fingers rested on the buttons of his shirt, slowly unbuttoning them one by one. As the collar opened, his well-defined abdominal muscles gradually became visible.
He casually threw his shirt aside, his muscles slightly tensing as he moved, revealing a powerful silhouette.
He Rui swallowed unconsciously and watched the other party lean closer.
