Finally, Jing Baisen sighed, patted his head as if to comfort him, and then said to the doctor, "Prescribe him more medicine."
Liu Nian: "..."
The doctor's hand trembled slightly as he held the pen, but he still said, "This... just taking medicine won't work. You still need to restrain yourself from that kind of thing in bed."
Liu Nian: "Yes!"
Jing Baisen's face was as gloomy as could be; there was no gentleness left in his eyes.
After getting the medicine, the two went back.
That night, just as Liu Nian was about to go to bed, Jing Baisen, with his eyelids half-closed, looked at him and asked, "Did you take your medicine?"
Liu Nian looked guilty, but still said, "Of course I ate it!"
Jing Baisen didn't believe him at all. He took out all the medicines that had been prescribed, counted them, and then just stared at Liu Nian.
Liu Nian: "..."
After obediently taking the medicine, Liu Nian thought Jing Baisen was going to do something, but who knew that Jing Baisen would go to the bathroom to do something else.
Liu Nian was actually quite shocked.
Even the dignified Master Sen sometimes needs to do things himself.
After coming out, Jing Baisen was still unhappy. He threw a pillow at Liu Nian, then closed the door and hugged Liu Nian to sleep.
Before going to sleep, Jing Baisen touched Liu Nian's body and then sighed.
Liu Nian: "..."
He thought that since something like this had already happened, Jing Baisen would definitely leave the next day.
However, Jing Baisen showed no intention of leaving, and Liu Nian even heard him talking to his assistant on the phone, saying that he wanted to stay here for two more days.
Should we stay for two more days?
Jing Baisen started asking Liu Nian to cook for him whenever he had a spare moment, urging him to go grocery shopping together, and each time he would deliberately pick the best-looking apple.
Jing Baisen wouldn't eat the apple unless Liu Nian peeled it into the shape of a rabbit.
Jing Baisen also visited Liu Nian's school and even met Liu Nian's professor.
As Jing Baisen talked with his professor, they even discussed a business deal. His professor was so excited that he kept praising Liu Nian, saying that Liu Nian was a once-in-a-century genius.
As Liu Nian listened, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
However, financial resources can truly overcome everything.
That professor was clearly a rigid person, but when he guessed the relationship between Jing Baisen and Liu Nian, he only paused for a moment.
Then came a barrage of compliments.
When Liu Nian left the school, he was still thinking about this matter. He was both amused and exasperated, so he told Jing Baisen bad things about the professor and the old-fashioned remarks he had made.
Upon hearing the professor's previous reservations about same-sex marriage law, Jing Baisen looked at Liu Nian, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Hasn't this country already passed same-sex marriage law?"
"Huh?" Liu Nian thought to himself, why did he suddenly bring this up?
Jing Baisen was furious when he thought of that ring. He ignored Liu Nian, got into his car, and drove off.
Liu Nian couldn't catch up with him; he tried calling several times but couldn't get through.
Finally, Liu Nian had no choice but to call his assistant's cell phone.
Jing Baisen's assistant told him that their boss, Mr. Sen, had already returned to China.
Back in China?
Isn't there still one day before we go back?
Liu Nian originally wanted to ask if there was some urgent matter that led him back.
But then I thought that if I asked that question, I would be humiliating myself.
Having waited too long without hearing a sound, he stiffened his neck and looked up at Senye, who was holding his phone.
Liu Nian: "Okay, I'll hang up now."
After Liu Nian hung up the phone, Jing Baisen smashed his assistant's phone to pieces.
The assistant shuddered violently in fright.
This time, Jing Baisen didn't go to see him for a whole month.
Liu Nian would send Jing Baisen a message from time to time, but Jing Baisen never replied.
Fang Xiao also saw a hint of this and said to Liu Nian, "Long-distance relationships usually don't end in them ever getting back together. You two shouldn't let this prove true."
After saying that, Fang Xiao sighed again and said, "The airfare is indeed quite expensive for you. For Master Sen, it's too much trouble to travel back and forth. He's such a busy person, how can he have that much time?"
"Who can be willing to run back and forth like this for long?"
"Hey!"
Fang Xiao also analyzed with Liu Nian whether it was more worthwhile to return to China now or to complete this exchange.
Unable to listen to Fang Xiao's nagging any longer, Liu Nian found a secluded spot and called Jing Bolin.
Jing Bolin suddenly received a call from Liu Nian, and answered cautiously, "Hello?"
"How's your older brother doing now?" Liu Nian asked as soon as he came up. "Has he been keeping another young lover?"
"Huh?" Jing Bolin seemed to hesitate a bit.
Liu Nian guessed what was going on and gripped his phone tighter.
Did it still come...?
Xiao Guai asked Liu Nian, "Liu Nian, what are you planning to do now?"
Liu Nian: "Go back to China!"
"Huh?" Xiao Guai asked cautiously again, "So you mean you won't come back after returning to China? Aren't you giving up this academic exchange?"
Liu Nian immediately booked a plane ticket and walked out without even packing his things: "Just asking for leave to go back and visit."
Liu Nian did not tell Jing Baisen about returning to China, nor did he tell Jing Bolin.
He went back on his own and that's how he ended up in the Jing family home.
There were surveillance cameras in some parts of the Jing family's residence, and Liu Nian directly ordered the butler to let him check the surveillance footage.
The butler said, "...This matter needs to be known to Master Sen."
Liu Nian scoffed and sat there, asking him, "Who do you think I am to the Jing family? If I can't access this surveillance footage, you don't need to tell Master Sen; I'll leave right now."
Left with no other choice, the housekeeper weighed the options himself and ultimately had Liu Nian check the surveillance footage.
Liu Nian investigated day after day and finally found a scene where Jing Baisen came back drunk one day, and a young man who looked like he was in the business helped him inside.
It was a long time before the boy left the Jing family home, his clothes disheveled.
The butler pursed his lips as he watched the scene.
Liu Nian sat there, gave a cold laugh, and waited for Jing Baisen to return.
The butler silently withdrew.
Then he hurriedly told Senye about Liu Nian's sudden return without a word, his immediate request to check the surveillance footage, and how he found that video clip.
After learning the news, Jing Baisen kept tapping his hand on the armrest.
