Shi Jin slept until the afternoon, and when he woke up, he found Lian Jun sleeping next to him, probably taking a nap. He stared blankly for a long time before waking up. He first glanced at the tightly drawn curtains, then at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, and finally turned over to face Lian Jun. After looking at Lian Jun's sleeping face for a while, he reached out and hugged him with satisfaction.
There is nothing happier than waking up from a drowsy sleep and finding the person you like right next to you.
"Awake?" A familiar voice came from above his head, and then his body was hugged back, and his forehead was gently rubbed, "Are you hungry? Get up and eat something."
Shi Jin raised his head, met Lian Jun's open eyes, and asked, "Did I wake you up?"
Lian Jun reached out and touched his messy hair, and replied, "No, I woke up a long time ago, I was just dodging."
"You actually dodging?" Shi Jin raised his eyebrows and gently touched his forehead. Looking at his lazy look when he just woke up, he couldn't help but slide his body down a little, kissed his collarbone, and then moved down little by little.
Lian Jun grabbed his hair reflexively and called his name: "Shi Jin." Shi Jin
stopped when he heard his voice, looked up at him, kissed his heart, and then lay back down and hugged him, not making any more trouble.
Lian Jun's clothes were all messed up. He felt the love and attachment in Shi Jin's actions, and his heart softened. He touched his back lovingly, turned over and pressed on him.
...
After Shi Jin got up and washed up, he went to the restaurant for an awkward lunch. Lian Jun accompanied him and told him about Rong Zhouzhong's visit to him in the morning.
"You said he saw you standing there?" Shi Jin didn't swallow a mouthful of rice and almost choked himself. Seeing Lian Jun nod affirmatively, he hurriedly got up and went back to the room and took out his mobile phone.
The phone had run out of power and turned off automatically. He plugged it in and turned it on. Then a bunch of text messages and missed calls from the five brothers of the Shi family came pouring in. The vibration and ringtones almost numbed his hands.
"I knew it would be like this." Shi Jin pressed his temples with a headache, opened the text messages one by one and flipped through them. He saw that they were all asking about Lian Jun's situation. He couldn't help but once again deeply hated the brothers of the Shi family for "sharing what they had" and their big mouths.
Lian Jun came up in a wheelchair and asked, "Have I caused you trouble?"
"No, it's these brothers who are too annoying." Shi Jin frowned and muttered. Seeing Lian Jun coming over, he leaned over to kiss him, but then he remembered that he had just been eating and his mouth was covered in oil. He hugged him and rubbed his cheek with his head tilted, saying, "Don't worry, I will tell them not to spread your true physical condition."
Lian Jun liked these little gestures of intimacy very much. Without any disgust, she tilted her head to kiss his face and said, "I'm not worried, let's continue eating."
After dinner, Shi Jin edited a text message instructing the Shi brothers not to tell anyone about Lian Jun's situation, and chose to send it to a group message. A minute later, his cell phone began to vibrate wildly, and text messages came in one after another.
- It felt like three thousand ducks were attacking his cell phone, Shi Jin thought expressionlessly.
Another five minutes later, Rong Zhouzhong, who received the text message, came directly to the door.
The two brothers sat and stood on the sofa, confronting each other, and neither of them spoke first. After such a serious quarrel, they were more or less embarrassed.
"Do you want to throw him out?" Gua Er appeared from nowhere, staring at Rong Zhouzhong dangerously - it was this guy who made Shi Jin schizophrenic as soon as he appeared, and the source of danger must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Rong Zhouzhong felt a chill on his back when he was looked at by him, and turned his head to look at him unwillingly.
Seeing this, Gua Er's eyes turned cold and he took a step forward.
The battle was about to break out. Shi Jin quickly stretched out his hand and inserted it between the two of them. He patted Gua Er soothingly and said, "Go and do your thing. I'm fine here." After that, he looked at Rong Zhouzhong and
gestured to the balcony. "Let's talk?" Rong Zhouzhong retracted his gaze and looked at him, nodded, and walked towards the balcony first.
Gua Er saw this and put away his momentum. He looked at Shi Jin and asked, "Is it really okay? If you don't want to see someone, don't see them. Everyone will protect you."
Shi Jin felt warm in his heart and said, "No problem, don't worry, I'm just going to talk to him."
Gua Er glanced at Rong Zhouzhong who had already turned out of the villa, and was still a little worried. He said, "Call me if you have anything." Shi Jin
made an "OK" gesture to him.
...
The two brothers sat down at the rattan table in the corner of the sun terrace. Shi Jin asked the kitchen to send two cups of hot milk tea and said straight to the point: "Lian Jun's legs are not completely disabled. He can recover to the level of an ordinary person after treatment. This news is confidential and not suitable for public disclosure. I hope you can keep it a secret for me ."
Rong Zhouzhong had been calm for a day and had digested the information. He considered his words and tried to make his tone gentler. He said: "You don't have to tell me specifically. We are not talkative people... Has his leg been cured?"
Shi Jin shook his head and replied: "No, he is just doing physical conditioning before treatment."
"Do you need help?" Rong Zhouzhong asked.
Shi Jin looked at him in surprise.
Rong Zhouzhong felt a little uncomfortable. He looked down at the milk tea in his hand and said, "He has hooked your soul and you are determined to be with him. We have no other choice and nothing we can do for you except to compromise and try to make your life better in the future." Shi Jin
carefully looked at his expression, took a sip of milk tea, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so frank and considerate. It seems that a beating is effective."
This seemed to be the first time that Shi Jin smiled so sincerely and unguardedly in front of him after their brotherhood deteriorated. Rong Zhouzhong was a little dazed. Seeing Shi Jin's expression, which was obviously much brighter and cheerful than the previous few days, he gradually relaxed his heart. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he deliberately snorted coldly. He drank milk tea to cover up his emotions and said, "It's obviously you who misunderstood me too much. You want to beat and scold me as soon as you see me. You are an unreasonable little bastard."
"You deserve it." Shi Jin didn't give in at all. The embarrassment in his heart was also a little lighter. He changed the subject and asked, "The crew's scenes are almost finished, when are you leaving here?"
"Do you dislike me?" Rong Zhouzhong frowned.
Shi Jin smiled but said nothing.
Rong Zhouzhong was not happy and asked back unhappily, "How about you? How long are you going to stay here?"
He had to stay until the conversation between Wolf Spider and Snake Fang came to a clear conclusion and the matter of G Province was completely settled before he could leave. Shi Jin answered in his heart, but said vaguely, "I'm not sure. I can only leave after Lian Jun's business is done."
Rong Zhouzhong was a little upset to hear this answer, but he was tactful and didn't say anything. He stirred his milk tea, glanced at Shi Jin's relaxed and casual look, suddenly tilted his head back and drank the milk tea in one gulp, stood up and said, "Can I come over for dinner every day before I leave? The boxed lunches on the crew are too disgusting." Shi Jin
looked up at him, looking at his tall figure with his back to the light and his vague expression with slightly wrinkled brows, he suddenly felt that he was a little strange, but inexplicably felt that he was a little friendly, he smiled, and said, "Okay, this is what I took the initiative to mention before."
Rong Zhouzhong was satisfied, and took a step to leave, raised his leg and suddenly retracted it, turned around and patted Shi Jin on the forehead unexpectedly, then turned around and strode away, at a very fast speed, as if he was afraid of retaliation.
Shi Jin was stunned. He touched his forehead which was not hurt by the slap. He looked at Rong Zhouzhong's receding back and sneered: "Childish." After laughing, he turned the cup of milk tea and stretched his waist with satisfaction. After
the experiment just now, he was very sure that he would no longer be affected by the original owner's memories and emotions about Rong Zhouzhong, as if he had been "desensitized" to Rong Zhouzhong.
Oh, that's great. He sighed with satisfaction.
In the villa, Lian Jun saw this scene and finally felt relieved. He slid his wheelchair back to the study.
...
Under the help of Zhang Zhuoyuan, Wolf Spider and Snake Fang officially started the conversation. As expected, the situation of the conversation was as bad as Lian Jun expected. Lu Shan was unwilling to let Xi Fan go and was determined to make Sheya pay the price. Sheya suffered heavy losses and could not be targeted by the authorities again. They refused to admit the malicious competition. The two leaders refused to give in and were stuck in a stalemate, which made Zhang Zhuoyuan on the verge of collapse every day.
"We have to find a way to make one of them soften. If they continue to quarrel like this, the talks will never come to a conclusion." Zhang Zhuoyuan said on the phone, his tone was anxious and angry, "The higher-ups have already blamed me for staying in G Province for too long, and Wolf Spider is now obsessed with quarreling with Sheya, and even business matters have become less concerned. The things promised to me will be delayed as much as possible. The pressure on me is really too great."
Lian Jun was still as steady as a mountain and said, "Don't worry."
"We have to be anxious." Seeing him say the same thing, Zhang Zhuoyuan felt so worried that his head was about to fall out. He said, "It's been a week, and they've been arguing more and more. I have to watch every time they talk, otherwise they will definitely start a fight! I have other things on my hands, and I can't keep wasting my time on them. Lian Jun, don't you want the four families to form an alliance? In this situation, Snake Fang and Wolf Spider have become enemies, how can they form an alliance?"
"You won't become enemies. Lu Shan and Yuan Peng are not reckless people who only know how to quarrel. They are playing psychological warfare and playing a trick on you. In a week at most, their talks will have results. Just hold on." Lian Jun comforted him. With the corner of his eye, he saw that Shi Jin suddenly changed from the posture of burying his head in homework to the posture of slumping on the sofa. Guessing that he had finished his homework, he curled the corners of his mouth and said to the phone, "Just calm down and continue to watch the show. This negotiation will definitely end smoothly. After that, the alliance of the four families will officially begin. Get ready for a tough battle." After that, he hung up the phone and moved the wheelchair closer to Shi Jin. Shi Jin turned his
head when he heard the voice, and seeing him coming, he stood up and jumped to the edge of the sofa, holding his hand that just happened to be received.
"Are you done talking?" He leaned forward and held Lian Jun's leg.
Lian Jun nodded and glanced at his homework. Shi
Jin then crawled back to his previous position, picked up the homework, returned and handed it to him.
Lian Jun took it, flipped through it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I can try to let you review simpler documents... Let's go to dinner?" Shi Jin
smiled happily, climbed up quickly, leaned over and kissed him, and said happily: "Let's go, let's go to dinner, I asked the kitchen to make seafood soup today!"
...
At the dining table, Shi Jin and Lian Jun were eating affectionately, Rong Zhouzhong sat on the side, unable to eat.
When Rong Zhouzhong decided to come for a meal, he actually wanted to use the relaxing activity of eating to slowly ease the relationship with Shi Jin, but he foolishly overlooked one thing - there was Lian Jun by Shi Jin's side.
This meal was not called a meal at all, but depression.
A little bastard who forgot his brother when he had a lover.
Rong Zhouzhong muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, because he knew that his brother who had made mistakes had a much lower status in Shi Jin's heart than that of the "sickly" leader of the violent organization. He was so
unwilling.
After scooping soup for Lian Jun, Shi Jin suddenly turned his head to look at Rong Zhouzhong and asked, "Why don't you eat? Don't you like it? And this fish, why don't you touch it at all? I remember that you like to eat this kind of fish very much. Did I remember it wrong?"
Rong Zhouzhong was stunned and looked at the squirrel fish in front of him. The depression in his heart dissipated a little awkwardly. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up and said, "No, I just ate too much snacks in the afternoon. I'm not very hungry now."
Shi Jin immediately turned into a disgusted face: "Are you an elementary school student? You ate so much snacks that you can't eat meals. You'd better eat less junk food. I think you have gained weight recently."
Fat -
dong.
The chopsticks in Rong Zhouzhong's hand were stuck into the fish's eye. He turned his head to look at Shi Jin and said with a fake smile: "Then you must have seen it wrong. I weigh myself every day and I'm definitely not fat."
"Maybe your scale is broken?" Shi Jin frowned and said in a serious and annoying manner, "It's easy for people to gain weight in middle age. People like you who make a living by your face must pay special attention to this. You don't want me to call you a fat pig in the future, do you?" People in middle
age... make a living by their faces... fat pig...
Rong Zhouzhong was stabbed three times and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat. He swallowed it hard, looking at Shi Jin's stupid and concerned face, he said aggrievedly: "You will never have the chance to call me a fat pig."
"Well, no, absolutely not, I believe you." Shi Jin looked like he was comforting him with "kindness" against his conscience.
Rong Zhouzhong closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath silently, and decided not to ask for trouble anymore. He ate a big bowl of rice as if to vent his anger, and ate the fish cleanly. Then he pushed the chair and stood up, holding his wounded heart and overly full stomach and left, secretly deciding not to come here to eat again. Shi Jin chuckled
. Lian Jun reached out and knocked him, and said helplessly: "Why are you always angry with him?" "Who asked him to hit me on the head last time." Shi Jin found an excuse for his bad taste, drank a mouthful of seafood soup happily, and said comfortably, "This life is comfortable!" Lian Jun rubbed his head again, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. The next day, Rong Zhouzhong showed up at the dining table of the villa on time while spitting on his own uncertainty. When Shi Jin saw him, he naturally reached out and patted him, and called out, "Go, take out the tableware and set it on the table, and bring out the soup as well."
Rong Zhouzhong was stunned for a moment, looked at him, stood up obediently, went to the kitchen to find tableware, took it out and arranged it one by one with some unfamiliarity, then turned back to the kitchen, put on the heat-insulating gloves handed to him by the kitchen aunt, and served the soup.
When he left the kitchen, he heard Shi Jin talking about cooking experience with the kitchen aunt. He stopped and listened secretly for a while, then walked out of the kitchen and came to the dining table. His eyes fell on two dishes that had already been served, and his expression warmed up.
It turns out that Xiao Jin can cook... Really amazing.
...
Not long after lunch, the director of the crew found Shi Jin and said that the play had been filmed and everyone was going to the next filming location. He thanked Shi Jin for lending them the venue and asked him to come and have a meal together when he was free. Shi Jin was stunned, looked at the crew members who were already packing up their equipment and tidying up the venue on the beach, and asked, "What about Rong Zhouzhong? Is he leaving too?"
The director didn't know what was going on in his mind. Hearing this, he looked at him with a little sympathy and said, "He's not with the crew, but he should also leave here. I saw him packing his luggage... Well, Mr. Shi, you have to be moderate when chasing stars. He stayed here for so long just because he accidentally cut the corner of his mouth and was afraid of being photographed by paparazzi when he went out. It's not because of anything else. You, you don't have to think too much... Look at it more openly, life is still long."
What a mess.
Shi Jin didn't quite match the director's brain waves. After a few polite greetings with him, he politely sent him away.
The crew left the beach that night. Rong Zhouzhong did not come to dinner that night. Shi Jin remembered what the director said and automatically classified him as "departed" and told the kitchen not to steam more rice for Rong Zhouzhong tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, he saw Rong Zhouzhong again at lunch the next day.
"Didn't you leave? Have you decided to stay with me?" This was Shi Jin's instinctive thought.
Rong Zhouzhong glared at him unhappily, threw him a bag, and said, "You said it so harshly, here it is, a birthday present. I have a new job and have to go abroad. I probably won't be back on your birthday. Bye." After that, he stood up and walked to the door, picked up a suitcase placed at the entrance, opened the door and left.
Shi Jin was stunned by his quick decision. Seeing that the door was about to close automatically, he hurriedly chased after him, stopped Rong Zhouzhong and asked, "Aren't you going to eat? Eat first and then leave."
Rong Zhouzhong turned around when he heard the voice, gestured to a car parked on the street not far away and the assistant waiting outside the car, and said, "It's too late. I have to go to Province G to catch a plane." After saying goodbye again, he turned around and walked quickly to the car, opened the door and got in.
Shi Jin watched him leave, then looked down at the bag in his arms, took out a box and opened it. Inside was a watch that looked very expensive. He frowned and muttered, "This guy, how can he never change his habit of spending money?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a transfer message. The transferor was Rong Zhouzhong, and the note read "venue rental fee". The transfer amount had many zeros, far exceeding the market price. He was speechless for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed.
What an idiot, he only knows how to spend money, in the past and now.
...
On the fifth day after the crew left, the conversation between Wolf Spider and Snake Fang finally made progress. Wolf Spider was the first to give in, saying that the definition of malicious competition could be changed, but Snake Fang had to show sincerity. After some consideration, Snake Fang accepted this statement, and the two companies neatly set aside the official authorities and went to negotiate privately.
Zhang Zhuoyuan was relieved, but also very depressed. He had been a middleman and a punching bag for more than ten days, but in the end he was just thrown away after being used. It was simply that Wolf Spider and Snake Fang did not treat him as a human being.
However, at this point, the chaos in Province G was finally resolved, and Lian Jun and Shi Jin could finally go home.
"Why don't we go directly to the island? The temperature in City B has dropped now, and you will be cold." Shi Jin said worriedly while packing his luggage.
Lian Jun refused cruelly: "No, you can't go to the island until you finish your final exams. When you return to City B, remember to study hard and you are not allowed to fail the exams." Shi Jin
was struck by lightning, and then he remembered that he was still a student, and immediately collapsed on the bed with no desire to live.
...
Two days later, the special plane carrying everyone landed at the airport in City B.
As soon as Shi Jin got off the plane, he was blown by the cold wind in City B and sneezed. He deeply felt the temperature difference between the north and the south. He hurriedly took a step back to pull up his open coat, then turned around and carefully added a blanket to Lian Jun's legs.
"Is it very cold?" Lian Jun asked.
"Fortunately, I'm just not used to it for a while." Shi Jin replied, but he had another idea in his mind. I was away for just over a month, but the weather in City B had changed from hot to freezing cold. The cold air was really terrible.
After settling down in the club, Shi Jin contacted a person in charge of the military under Lian Jun's arrangement, and obtained a copy of his own file from him.
In this file, he was a freshman in the police academy who had experience in missions. After the freshman military training, he received an assignment from above and went to a small island in Province G to participate in a long-term mission involving gang fights.
After reading this file, Shi Jin had a new understanding of Lian Jun's thoroughness.
"Remember to memorize it well. If anyone in the school asks about it, remember not to let it slip." Lian Jun instructed.
Shi Jin agreed obediently. Seeing Lian Jun frowning and looking unhappy, he guessed that he was reluctant to go to school by himself, so he hurried over to hug him and said, "I will come back every weekend and call you every day. Don't worry."
Lian Jun held his face and kissed him without saying anything.
"You should take me to school this time." Shi Jin asked.
Lian Jun agreed without thinking: "Okay, now is not the time to report. I can take you to the school gate, but I can't take you inside."
"It's enough to take you to the gate. How about you go for a checkup on the way? It's been several months since the last checkup. I want to know your current physical condition." Shi Jin continued to ask and asked carefully.
Lian Jun touched his face, lowered his eyes and kissed his lips, and whispered: "Okay."
