One Hundred and Four:
Chu Cheng felt his mood getting depressed again, like a river with undercurrents, suppressing the restlessness under the water surface. "Come with me to find a car." He said, "In the past, you would always send me to the car before leaving."
Ji Qingzhou thought, that was in the past, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, instead he walked out with him. Chu Cheng was different, Ji Qingzhou had always known that he could reject other people continuously, but he would not reject Chu Cheng.
He was the first person he liked. He felt love and tenderness from him. His liking for Chu Cheng was different from his liking for other people. When he came to this world, the first person he saw was Chu Cheng, and the first person he felt safe and assured was also Chu Cheng. He depended on Chu Cheng, and he had an attachment to Chu Cheng that he did not have for anyone else.
What does Chu Cheng look like? Ji Qingzhou thought, he is like the sunshine in the clear sky meeting the rainbow in the evening rain. Love has only one color, but he has left too many feelings on Chu Cheng, so Chu Cheng is bright and colorful. He can't bear to let these colors fade, so he can't say anything too hurtful to Chu Cheng, he doesn't want Chu Cheng to feel bad because of him.
Forget it, Ji Qingzhou thought, he didn’t know how many times he would see her in a year, and this was not an excessive request, so he might as well agree to it. Anyway, they wouldn’t see each other soon.
He accompanied Chu Cheng out of the elevator and walked forward. Chu Cheng turned his head unconsciously to look at him. Ji Qingzhou lowered his head and his profile looked very gentle.
"How have you been these days?" Chu Cheng asked him.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "Very good."
"After you answered, didn't you ask me back?" Chu Cheng laughed, "All along the way, you answered whatever I asked you, concisely, without adding a single word. You didn't ask me back, didn't you care about me?"
Ji Qingzhou didn't expect him to do this. He couldn't help but look up at Chu Cheng. Chu Cheng was looking straight ahead, not looking at him, but there was some self-mockery on his face that had not yet dissipated.
Ji Qingzhou followed suit and said, "How about you? Are you doing well?"
Chu Cheng was silent for a while, then said softly, "Not as well off as you are."
Ji Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat. Chu Cheng turned his head and looked at him. "You do look like you're doing well. Do you think I look like I'm doing well?"
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, he couldn't tell, he never understood Chu Cheng, he thought Chu Cheng liked him, but Chu Cheng let him go, he thought Chu Cheng didn't like him, but Chu Cheng was not doing well. His expression was indeed a little solemn, he didn't look as high-spirited as before, but why did he think that Chu Cheng was not doing well because of him?
Maybe it was because of him, but also because he rejected his care and concern, so Chu Cheng was not used to it.
"Is it because of me?" Ji Qingzhou asked him, "Because I rejected your care and concern?"
Chu Cheng had no words.
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, his voice was very clear and slow, he said, "Chu Cheng, you can see that I am doing well now. Even without your care and concern, I can live well. So, you don't need to think about me so much. I am an adult and I have the ability to take care of myself. If I really encounter a problem that I can't solve, maybe I will still ask you for help, but most of the time, I can live well on my own, so don't always worry about me, okay?"
His tone was very gentle, and there was even a smile in his eyes. He said, "Habits are something that are really hard to get rid of at first, but as you get used to it, you will slowly get used to your new life. I am very grateful that you have always been so considerate of me. You hope that I am well, and I hope that you are well too. I don't want you to have a bad life because of me."
Chu Cheng stared at him blankly, seeing the tenderness in his eyes, and asked him, "Do you also think that my concern and care for you is just out of habit?"
"What else?" Ji Qingzhou asked him.
Chu Cheng opened and closed his teeth slightly, and almost asked him, "Maybe you like it?"
However, he just looked at Ji Qingzhou without saying anything.
Seeing that he was silent, Ji Qingzhou naturally walked forward. Chu Cheng walked beside him, constantly asking himself, does he like Ji Qingzhou? Does he love Ji Qingzhou? Is he willing to be with Ji Qingzhou forever?
It didn't take them long to reach Chu Cheng's car. Ji Qingzhou said in a gentle voice, "We're here."
Chu Cheng said "hmm".
"Then I'll go first. Be careful on your way. Bye." Ji Qingzhou still looked gentle and kind.
Chu Cheng looked at him, and the moment he turned around and walked back, he reached out and grabbed his arm, took a step forward and hugged him.
Ji Qingzhou was stunned.
Chu Cheng hugged him, without saying a word, feeling only peace.
He felt that all his irritability and boredom dissipated at this moment, and his heart calmed down, soft and peaceful. He hugged Ji Qingzhou tightly, hugging him little by little. He was so familiar with the person in his arms that he even kissed his shoulders, neck, and back. He was so thin that he could feel his bones if he hugged him a little tighter, but he still stubbornly wanted to use his thin body to support his own space.
Obviously, she is not a very stubborn person. When she got hurt in a fight, she would cry out in pain and ask others to apply medicine gently. Why, at this moment, is she so stubborn? Even if she has to use me, before he reaches the peak of the entertainment industry and before his mother fully recovers, isn't it better to use me to make his path smoother?
