Chapter 109: Missing Brother's Boyfriend
Curtains covered the bedroom windows, keeping out the light.
Lin Zhi was still somewhat unconscious as he was fed. His stomach was soothed and his hunger was quenched, but he was still too tired to open his eyelids.
The brain tried to force itself to restart, but before it could regain consciousness, it was entangled and sunk.
He was no longer able to analyze the current situation. After his rationality was crushed, there was no room for reorganization.
Sleep, food and Jing Xun made up his entire life these days.
Lin Zhi subconsciously wanted to avoid it. It had been too much for him after being hit so many times in a row.
The wound on his back below the left shoulder had long since scabbed over and fallen off, turning into a pale, almost invisible scar, which made it more distinct amid the mess caused by the entanglement.
With intermittent intimacy, Jing Xun easily held the young man's two white and slender wrists with one hand and kissed the corners of his light red and warm eyes.
The dismantled memories divided his life, and Jing Xun could not remember clearly. He stubbornly poured all his emotions, love and even anxiety into Lin Zhi.
Even if the clock goes backwards, Lin Zhi is still by his side, which makes him feel extremely at ease.
I like him so much that I want to describe every moment of his life, the intense and crazy emotions and obsession, and never stop in the confused memories until I die.
The autumn wind blows the red maple leaves, and the damp and cold feeling penetrates into the bone marrow.
The paint squeezed out of the board is mixed with a brush and applied to the paper with careful concentration and care.
Lin Zhi pressed his swollen forehead and sat up from the bed. His body silently showed that it was overwhelmed, so Lin Zhi closed his eyes tightly.
He recalled the key things and clicked his tongue a few times.
No wonder he went so crazy, it turned out he forgot it twice, but the first blow was much greater than the latter, and the second time seemed to be much shorter.
Lin Zhi had thought of this before, but he never thought it would actually happen. After all, it couldn't be controlled by him or Jing Xun. It was just too much of a coincidence.
Although she helped him, Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel a little pity when she thought of Jing Xun's sad and painful look.
Of course, this feeling of pity did not diminish the smile on his face.
After Lin Zhi calmed down, he asked the system in his mind: [Where are the others? 】
01, who had been watching cartoons on and off for several days, answered obediently: [Drawing in the living room. 】
Lin Zhi didn't ask any more questions. After getting used to the feeling of overuse of his limbs, his body felt dry and refreshed, so he just washed up.
Jing Xun was sitting with his back to the bedroom, painting with great concentration.
He was only wearing a pair of pants casually, and there were bloodstains on his broad back.
Lin Zhi looked down at his fingers. His clean and round nails trimmed by him did not seem to have the ability to scratch people easily, unless he used a lot of force. If such a situation occurred, the responsibility lay with Jing Xun.
The afternoon sun shines in through the skylight and glass, but it is not dazzling. Because of the lead-gray sky, it even looks a bit cool.
Without getting close to him, Lin Zhi knew that Jing Xun was drawing him. Although he didn't know what he was drawing, Lin Zhi felt that he had guessed it.
It was probably those moments when he was absent-minded and indulged. Lin Zhi didn't mind. He was not ashamed to admit his desires. No matter what kind they were, the moments of satisfaction were always wonderful.
As he approached Jing Xun, he didn't seem to bring anything too positive. He used disguised weakness and innocence, danger and evil, affection and love to attract the confused lover.
Now that we have succeeded, we need to change our approach.
Lin Zhi walked forward, but Jing Xunhua was so focused on painting that he didn't notice his arrival.
The warm colors spread across the drawing paper made Lin Zhi slightly stunned.
The lake reflects the golden world. The young man in the painting bends down to scoop up water. The sky is clear and the air is fresh. It is a kind of cleanliness and beauty that can be felt visually, and it seems like warmth is within reach.
Even people who know nothing about painting can feel the heart of the person who put pen to paper.
Jing Xun is a very pure and straightforward person. He doesn't know how to get along with normal people, so all his thoughts are put on the surface, and this is especially true for his paintings.
Lin Zhi did not disturb him and just sat there quietly watching.
The temperature and humidity of the air gradually changed with the passage of time. Jing Xun glanced at his watch and put down his brush.
He should go see if Lin Zhi had gotten up. Based on when he last ate, he should be hungry.
Jing Xun stood up and saw Lin Zhi, who had been sitting behind him at some point, with a dazed expression.
"Are you awake yet? Are you hungry?"
He saw the marks he left on Lin Zhi's neck that could not be concealed, and his face was full of satisfaction.
Lin Zhi nodded, and Jing Xun immediately went to wash his hands and cook.
The kitchen door was open. Lin Zhi admired the young man's beautiful body for a while, then looked down at her cell phone.
I haven't checked my phone for nearly three days, and there are already several messages from the company in it. The first one was telling him to get in touch, and the next two were codes to confirm whether he was safe.
Lin Zhi responded immediately to avoid the company thinking that he was out of touch and involving him in Wei Jinrong's affairs.
He walked to the edge of the living room, looked in the direction of the kitchen and dialed the phone.
"You finally replied to the message. If we hadn't confirmed that you had never left the community and there was no possibility that you had escaped with the goods, we would have definitely visited you again."
"Haven't found it yet?"
Lin Zhi caught the key words from Sister Lin's words. It had been three days and they still hadn't gotten the whereabouts of the ancient painting from Wei Jinrong's mouth.
"No, he's very stubborn. He wants to negotiate terms with us, or he'd rather go underground with the secret."
Sister Lin's tone was slightly cold, and she was obviously a little upset.
She didn't mind revealing unimportant inside information to Lin Zhi, hoping that he could guess where the goods might be hidden.
Wei Jinrong did not betray the company suddenly. In fact, he had started doing this two years ago.
Wei Jinrong would use his position or confidential information to make others lose the goods before they reached him and then resell them. He would also switch between genuine and counterfeit goods while the goods were in his hands in order to make a profit.
But this time, the person who had been doing business with him secretly revealed his profitable business to another person in order to survive. Wei Jinrong noticed something strange and didn't want to take action this time.
After all, the goods this time are quite important, and he doesn't want to expose himself, but the previous business has become a handle. If these things fall into the hands of BV company, he will have a hard time surviving.
Wei Jinrong had no choice but to take action and planned this incident, but the other party wanted to kill Wei Jinrong after getting the goods to eliminate future troubles.
Wei Jinrong didn't trust his partner at all, so he gave him fake goods to escape from the pursuit. He kept using the previous arrangements to let the people who secretly wanted to arrest him meet him, intending to find a chance to leave when they were fighting each other.
After being discovered by Lin Zhi, he was at the end of his rope, so he came to find Jing Xun, but he didn't expect to be completely defeated here.
"I really can't help you with that. I don't know where he would hide it."
Lin Zhi said he could do nothing to help. He didn't want to spend any time on Wei Jinrong and rejected Sister Lin's attempt.
"Okay, you've done a great job this time, and there will be a bonus credited to your account later. When do you plan to go back to work?"
"When will you return..."
Lin Zhi repeated Sister Lin's painting in a thoughtful tone, as if she was considering it.
In the kitchen, Jing Xun stopped what he was doing and listened quietly to the conversation between him and the person on the other end of the phone.
"It's okay. You still have time to think about it. After all, you're on vacation. In fact, I think it's a pity for you to go back. Otherwise, you can be transferred to work in China and be my partner."
Being a partner with Sister Lin is undoubtedly a promotion.
"Of course, I'd love to."
It is impossible for Lin Zhi to take vacation all the time. He doesn't have much vacation time left, and the special nature of his job does not allow him to resign at will. Working in the country or in this city is what he must do.
Jing Xun waited for a long time, but didn't hear Lin Zhi mention the date.
He didn't know what Lin Zhi's reply of "I'm happy to leave" meant, were you happy to leave or something else?
Jing Xun was cutting the ingredients absentmindedly, as Wei Jinrong's words kept echoing in his mind.
——He will get tired of you soon, he is just interested in you temporarily.
——You don’t really think you can always have him. What is it about you that attracts him? Is it your illness?
——If you want him to never leave you, there is only one way.
——He is about to leave, why don’t you take action?
Jing Xun lowered his eyes and cut the beef on the chopping board.
The blood overflowed and continued to spread as the tip of the knife squeezed.
What if Lin Zhi left before he healed himself?
What if it can’t be cured?
The footsteps gradually approached the door. Jing Xun saw Lin Zhi's hand on the door handle and asked nervously, "Where are you going?"
Lin Zhi raised the things in his hand, blinked and said, "Throw away the garbage."
"Just let me handle these."
Jing Xun washed his hands, took the garbage bag from Lin Zhi, opened the door and put it outside.
The setting sun fell on Lin Zhi's face, and as the door closed, the light disappeared.
Lin Zhi felt Jing Xun's tension, but did not say anything. She sat back in the living room as if waiting for dinner.
Even though Lin Zhi didn't show any desire to go out or leave, Jing Xun was still a little uneasy.
He could no longer imagine a world without Lin Zhi, and could not bear a life without being able to touch or even see Lin Zhi.
After he had kissed and hugged and became closer to Lin Zhi, he could not accept any possibility of their relationship going backwards.
Jing Xun's eyes rolled slightly. He prepared the ingredients and began to cook. The light of the fire was reflected in his gray-blue eyes.
There was beef stewed in red wine for dinner. Jing Xun had been living alone and taking care of himself. Although he didn't have high requirements for the quality of his food, he had some talent for cooking and the food tasted pretty good.
Lin Zhi was eating happily when she suddenly heard Jing Xun speak.
"Are you leaving?"
Lin Zhi thought that he finally spoke. After all, the melancholy puppy couldn't hide his thoughts. His expression made it look as if the words "full of worries" were written all over his face.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Lin Zhi still didn't give a definite answer, neither saying whether to leave nor not to leave.
"I heard you on the phone. If you want to go, can you take me with you?"
"I won't cause you any trouble. I will take care of you. I can paint. If you have any painters you like, I can introduce them to you. As long as it's something you like, I will try my best to do it."
Jing Xun's voice was low and a little hurried.
He couldn't think of any advantages he had, so he used the only thing he had to attract Lin Zhi, even if it required him to leave the safe area.
