Ninety-eight:
He remembered what Ji Qingzhou had said, "I am different in front of you than I am in front of others."
But now, Chu Cheng can't see it.
He closed his eyes, suppressed the negative emotions, and said softly, "Happy birthday."
Ji Qingzhou replied, "Thank you."
There weren't too many emotional ups and downs, just as he expected.
Chu Cheng let him go and turned around. This was good, he persuaded himself, at least Ji Qingzhou wouldn't be sad when he left, and that was enough.
During the meal, Chu Cheng gave Ji Qingzhou the birthday present he prepared, "Open it and take a look."
Ji Qingzhou opened the gift box at hand and found that it was a key.
"This is a house I have in the south of the city. It's a duplex, about 400 square meters, fully furnished, and with a yard. If you like, you can plant some flowers and plants in the future to cultivate your sentiments."
Ji Qingzhou didn't expect that he would give him a house, and he refused on the spot, "I don't want it."
"Take it. I never take back what I give."
"But I don't deserve it." He looked at Chu Cheng. Why should he take a house from Chu Cheng? He was not even Chu Cheng's lover, so what right did he have to take a house from him?
"Zhou Zhou, today is your birthday. How can you not accept a gift on your birthday? Please accept it. Don't argue with me about this. It's not worth it."
Ji Qingzhou didn't say anything after hearing this. After a long while, he accepted the key and said thank you. He didn't want this house. He thought that when he left there, he would return the key to Chu Cheng. Now, there was no need for them to argue about this. It was not worth it.
Chu Cheng was satisfied when he saw that he accepted it. He helped him cut the steak and put it on the plate in front of him, "Let's eat."
Ji Qingzhou hummed and picked up his knife and fork.
Soon, August 9th arrived. Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng agreed that he would leave Chu Cheng's house on the 0th, so on the 9th, Ji Qingzhou began to pack his luggage. Chu Cheng watched him packing his luggage, feeling depressed and irritated for no reason. He suppressed his emotions and promised Ji Qingzhou, "I will continue to pay for your mother's medical expenses."
Ji Qingzhou tried to discuss with him, "I can also do it myself now..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Cheng, who said in a very tough manner, "We agreed before that I will pay for your mother's medical expenses, not just for one year, but for all. I keep my word."
Ji Qingzhou didn't want to argue with him, so he decided to keep it in mind and pay him back in one lump sum when he had saved enough money in the future. "Okay," he agreed for the time being.
Chu Cheng said nothing more and continued to watch him pack his luggage.
Ji Qingzhou didn't have much stuff. He dragged two suitcases when he came, and now he left, he only packed two suitcases. Chu Cheng saw the glass bottle with stars on the bedside table, walked over, picked it up and handed it to Ji Qingzhou.
Ji Qingzhou looked at the bottle in his hand and the stars inside, and thought of that night, and thought of Chu Cheng who had gently sent him blessings at that time. He reached out to take it and said softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Ji Qingzhou stuffed the bottle into the box and then closed the box.
When he went to bed at night, Ji Qingzhou asked Chu Cheng, "Will you go to work on time tomorrow morning?"
"I want to give it to you." Chu Cheng.
Ji Qingzhou refused, "No need."
Chu Cheng held him tightly, and couldn't help but increase the strength. Ji Qingzhou said softly but firmly, "I want to leave by myself."
Chu Cheng looked down at him, but only saw the top of his head, "Okay." He kissed the top of Ji Qingzhou's head and compromised.
That night, Chu Cheng slept uneasily. He had a dream in which Ji Qingzhou did not exist. He tried to describe it to Qin Xue and the others, "Ji Qingzhou, my lover, whom you have met and commented on. Have you forgotten?"
But Qin Xue just smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't Ji Qingzhou run away with Fang Yaoxuan a long time ago? Fang Yaoxuan paid you back the money he owed you, and you forgot."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Cheng said angrily, "He and Fang Yaoxuan had a relationship before, but it was a long time ago. He is with me now."
Qin Xue was speechless. "Ask An Ming and the others if Ji Qingzhou has been with Fang Yaoxuan for a long time. Are you crazy? You are still thinking about him now. Ah Cheng, you are not that kind of person."
Chu Cheng thought he was crazy, but Yu Anming, Yao Xiuyuan, and Shao Yong were all on Qin Xue's side. He had no choice but to look at Yu Anyi and ask her, "You two know each other and have a good relationship. Do you remember?"
Yu Anyi sneered, "I have a good relationship with him? Ah Cheng, please wake up. He is an 18th-tier star, and there is no such person. I have never even met him. How can I have a good relationship with him? The relationship in your dream is good."
Chu Cheng felt that they were all unreasonable. He took out his phone and called Ji Qingzhou, but the call was not connected. He wanted to send a WeChat message to Ji Qing, but there was no such person in his WeChat contacts. He checked Ji Qingzhou's Weibo and found that there were almost no posts on his Weibo, and none of them were familiar to him.
Chu Cheng began to panic. He asked Zhou Chengfeng what Ji Qingzhou was doing recently. Zhou Chengfeng said he didn't know. Ji Qingzhou had terminated his contract with Xiyu long ago and was now in Fang Yaoxuan's studio. He didn't know his recent movements.
