Chapter 185 Kill Bai Yueguang and Tie Up the Devil's Heart (20)
This topic was awkward, Li Ziyan didn't want to talk about it, and Jingze didn't mention it anymore. After the two of them finished their meal, Li Ziyan put away the dishes and walked to the door to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Catch the milk cake."
"Milk cake?"
"My cat."
When Li Ziyan mentioned it, Jingze remembered his kitten. A smile appeared on his lips, and he tilted his head, looking a little naughty. "Naigao? Did you name it?"
"Um."
Although the kitten is a wild cat, it is snow-white all over and can indeed be called a milk cake.
Jingze glanced at Li Ziyan's still pale face, frowned, and trembled the bone wings behind him, "I'll take you there."
"Mr. Jing still has to work, I can do it myself."
This was not the first time Li Ziyan rejected Jingze, but it was the first time Jingze felt uncomfortable.
Li Ziyan's words of love for him that morning were still ringing in his ears, but the man before him, for his own reasons, was restraining his yearning for him. He had never experienced this feeling before, but he could inexplicably empathize with him.
Reaching out and clasping Li Ziyan's neck, forcing Li Ziyan to raise his head and look at him, Jingze said in a low voice, "Do you like me?"
"……No."
"Didn't you say you liked me before? If you don't like me, why don't you dare look at me?"
"..." Li Ziyan looked into Jingze's eyes, his eyes flashing, "I don't like it now."
"Okay, if you say you don't like me, then you don't like me." Jingze didn't press the issue. He lowered his head and kissed Li Ziyan's Adam's apple, causing the man in front of him to shudder slightly. "What if you fall in love with me?"
"Why should I like you?"
"You liked it before."
"Not now or in the future," Li Ziyan turned his head and escaped from Jingze's palm, "I don't want to like someone who I know will not have any result."
"What do you mean?" Jingze recalled the state of Li Ziyan when he hugged him in the morning, and his heart panicked.
Li Ziyan smiled, a bit bitterly, and looked at Jingze with a look of confusion in his eyes. "You already have someone you like, how can I like you? You can't respond to me, you can't give me the same love. And my liking for you has only brought me pain, I'm not stupid."
"..." Jingze was speechless. Everything Li Ziyan said was right. He had no way to refute it. The beginning of the two of them was wrong. Li Ziyan was moved, but he knew how to cut his losses in time. He was very smart.
But now, Jingze felt that the person who was trapped was himself.
The two of them didn't say anything else until Jingze sent Li Ziyan to the school gate. Li Ziyan just said thank you in a soft and distant voice.
Seeing Li Ziyan's back gradually disappear, Jingze asked the driver to drive to the company. However, when he arrived at the company, he saw someone he didn't expect.
"Aze, why did you come so late? Are you too tired?" Su Jianbai came forward, wearing exquisitely matched clothes and even exquisite accessories. "Isn't it true that I came uninvited like this? You won't be angry with me?"
"How could that be? I'm so happy that you're here." Jingze said this, but there was no smile on his face.
He was wearing a casual suit today, without a tie, and with a hole in his collar. He didn't look too casual, but still not formal enough.
Su Jianbai stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Jingze button up his shirt, but Jingze dodged. Su Jianbai froze for a moment, his expression a little embarrassed, "Aze, your buttons are not buttoned properly, let me help you."
"It's okay, it's no problem."
"...Okay." This was the first time Jingze rejected him, which made Su Jianbai feel a little uneasy.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Su Jianbai would not easily take the initiative to contact Jingze. If he took the initiative to contact him, he must have something to talk to him about.
"Yes, I've had a small problem recently, and I'd like to ask Aze for help to solve it," Su Jianbai smiled sheepishly. He was handsome, and such a smile was indeed quite attractive. "I recently joined a new crew because I have another drama to shoot, and there are many overlapping scenes between the two dramas, so I want to find a stand-in."
When Jingze heard the word "stand-in", his heart skipped a beat. He frowned and said, "It's easy to find a stand-in."
"Yes, but there aren't that many angels who look and feel similar to me. I happen to know one, and I'd like you to introduce him to me."
As soon as Su Jianbai said this, Jingze had a bad feeling in his heart. As he expected, the person in front of him smiled shyly and touched his nose. "Last time, Junior Ziyan misunderstood me, and I haven't explained to him yet. I just have this opportunity, so I want him to help me. Besides, being a stuntman also pays. When I heard the teachers talk about it at the school anniversary, I knew that Ziyan's family situation is not very good. This can be considered as helping him to supplement his family expenses."
If Jingze hadn't known about Li Ziyan's guaranteed place in graduate school, he might have been fooled by his past impressions and feelings, thinking Su Jianbai was kind and noble. But now, he just felt a chill in his heart.
Su Jianbai's move was brilliant. If Jingze agreed to be the lobbyist, Li Ziyan would surely be sad and feel inferior, which would be another trampling on Li Ziyan's dignity. If Li Ziyan refused, Jingze would definitely think that Li Ziyan was ungrateful and making a big deal out of nothing, and might even end their relationship because of it.
However, Su Jianbai will leave a good impression in Jingze's heart.
Jingze sneered self-deprecatingly, not knowing how to face the person in front of him. He looked at Su Jianbai deeply, and felt that it might really be destined.
"There's no need to mention this. Anyone can be a stuntman. There's no need to look for him. I still have work to do, so I won't keep you here."
"Aze..."
"The meeting is about to start. I'll go upstairs first." Jingze nodded, turned and left. After all, this was the person he had liked for so many years, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions.
The secretary glanced at Su Jianbai, nodded, followed him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No! No, Mr. Jing." The secretary shook his head and broke out in a cold sweat.
"I don't blame you. Tell me the truth. Is what I've done all these years worth it?" Jingze glanced at the secretary with a troubled face and said with a sigh, "Just say it if I ask you to. I won't scold you. I promised to give you a promotion and a raise."
"...Then I said, it's not worth it. Mr. Jing, I think Mr. Su's love for you is not pure. He's just keeping you hanging, taking advantage of your liking for him to enjoy the benefits you bring him. Look at all the people around him, he hasn't rejected any of them, hasn't accepted any of them. If he is truly an upright person, how could he toy with others' feelings like this? He clearly has a group of people around him, but he doesn't allow you to have any suitors around you, and he controls you in every way. He has never given you any benefits... And because of him, our company's performance has dropped so much..."
The secretary's voice became increasingly quiet, but Jingze smiled, his eyes dark. He only now understood what others could see. If it weren't for Li Ziyan, he wouldn't know how long he would have been so stupid.
