Guan Baiyu cried as he ate, and it took him about half an hour to finish the bowl of instant noodles.
Shi Zhen had been waiting on the side for twenty minutes by this time.
He did eat a little too fast...
After Guan Baiyu finished eating, Shi Zhen said, "Let's go take a bath together."
Guan Baiyu was a little tired after eating.
He now feels that he can fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
But he didn't want to leave Shi Zhen.
Holding Shi Zhen's hand, Guan Baiyu was a little dazed, but obediently followed Shi Zhen into the bathroom.
The house is rented, and there is no bathtub in the bathroom, only a shower room. It's a bit cramped for two big men to go in.
Guan Baiyu leaned against Shi Zhen, feeling a bit dazed: "You can't go out tonight, no matter what... Shao Baitong might be lying in ambush outside, just to kill you."
Shi Zhen was slightly taken aback.
He had always thought that Guan Baiyu wouldn't let him go out because Guan Baiyu was in a bad mood, but now it seems that wasn't the case.
Guan Baiyu kept saying that he was still worried about him.
He really shouldn't have done that before; he actually thought Guan Baiyu didn't like him and even suspected that Guan Baiyu wanted to start something and then abandon him.
Shi Zhen hugged Guan Baiyu and kissed him...
Then Guan Baiyu pushed him away: "Do you agree or not!"
“I will absolutely not go out at night,” Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu said again, "Don't kiss me... I'm tired!" After he finished speaking, he leaned against Shi Zhen again.
He has actually suffered from insomnia for a long time.
Even when I'm very tired, if I keep thinking about this and that before bed, I won't be able to fall asleep.
Being with Shi Zhen, sleeping next to Shi Zhen, would actually make him feel much better.
Shi Zhen remained motionless, even though his heart was filled with restless desire.
Guan Baiyu looked really tired.
He always falls asleep as soon as he lies down and has never had trouble sleeping, but he knows that insomnia is unpleasant.
He had no idea that Guan Baiyu was also suffering from insomnia.
He hadn't cared enough about Guan Baiyu before.
And... Guan Baiyu said he was abducted?
Guan Baiyu's crying and fussing earlier revealed a lot of information, which has left Shi Zhen feeling a bit confused.
He knows far too little about Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu, looking dazed, lay on top of Shi Zhen. Shi Zhen quickly rinsed himself off, washed his armpits with soap, turned off the water, wrapped Guan Baiyu in a towel, and carried him to the bed.
Guan Baiyu opened his eyes, glanced at him, and then closed them again.
Shi Zhen lay down beside him, feeling drowsy and wanting to sleep.
But thinking about how he snores when he sleeps, he didn't go to sleep. Instead, he lay down next to Guan Baiyu and kept him company.
Although Guan Baiyu was asleep, he was clearly not sleeping soundly, looking like he might wake up at any moment, and even... would open his eyes to look at him, saying from time to time, "Don't go."
As she spoke, Guan Baiyu would sometimes cry.
Shi Zhen felt a pang of sadness in his heart, so he simply adopted the same approach he used to use to coax Shi Ting, gently patting Guan Baiyu's back through the blanket while singing, "My little Yu, go to sleep, go to sleep..."
Guan Baiyu was indeed very sleepy, and even opening his eyes was difficult.
But he felt that he was conscious and had not actually fallen asleep.
This feeling was what made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
It wasn't until Shi Zhen started patting him and coaxing him to sleep in Shi Zhen's hometown dialect that he finally became drowsy and wanted to fall asleep...
But just as he fell asleep, his phone rang suddenly.
Guan Baiyu was suddenly awakened, and felt his anger rising again.
He knew it was unreasonable to get angry at this point, but he was just a little angry...
Guan Baiyu pushed Shi Zhen away and started crying.
It was Shi Zhen's phone ringing. Shi Zhen got out of bed to get the phone that he had left on the bathroom sink. After hanging up, he came back and saw Guan Baiyu crying.
Shi Zhen reached out to hug him: "Xiao Yu, my phone is on silent, you can continue sleeping."
He reached one hand under Guan Baiyu's arm.
He liked it this way, holding Guan Baiyu in his arms.
But Guan Baiyu wouldn't let his hand come closer: "Your arm is too hard and thick, it'll be uncomfortable under my neck!"
He liked being held by Shi Zhen, but when it came to sleeping, he couldn't stand having such a big arm under his head or neck.
He used to wait until Shi Zhen fell asleep, then remove Shi Zhen's arm, and then sleep while holding Shi Zhen's arm.
Shi Zhen had no choice but to stop.
Then Guan Baiyu leaned close to him, hugged him, put her legs on him, and prepared to sleep.
Shi Zhen only had time to check his phone after seeing that he was no longer moving.
The call just now was from one of his men.
Shi Zhen silenced his phone and texted him, "What's up?"
On the construction site, a man stared blankly at the text message.
Why did Shi Zhen suddenly stop answering the phone and start sending text messages instead?
He can read, but typing on this phone is too difficult; he's not very good at it...
He could only hold his phone as he went to find Shi Xingchao.
Shi Xingchao knows how to type.
Shi Zhen originally planned to have dinner with Guan Baiyu and then come to find Shi Xingchao to celebrate together.
Shi Xingchao also hated Shao Baitong, the man who killed his brother.
Shi Zhen also planned to visit his uncle and aunt, who had been brought to Changxi City. He had always felt ashamed to face them before, but now... the heavy weight on his heart had finally been lifted.
However, Shi Zhen can no longer go now.
He texted about it.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Zhen sent another text message: "Shao Baitong might want to retaliate against us. Try to find him."
He was too happy before to think about this, but now... he should hurry up and find Shao Baitong.
Shi Xingchao replied to the text message, put down his phone and cursed a few times: "That old dog dares to retaliate? Beat him up!"
Since Shi Zhen wasn't coming... late at night, Shi Xingchao led a group of fellow villagers to find Shao Baitong.
After sending the text message, Shi Zhen went to look at Guan Baiyu, who was lying under his armpit.
Perhaps because he had cried a lot before, Guan Baiyu's nose was a little stuffy, and he made a little nasal sound when he breathed, which sounded extremely cute.
Shi Zhen just kept looking at him, for a long, long time, unwilling to look away.
Many thoughts also popped into his mind.
For example, keeping Guan Baiyu locked up by his side and never letting him go.
Shi Zhen didn't dare to move, afraid of waking Guan Baiyu up again. Fortunately, Guan Baiyu didn't wake up.
Around 10 p.m., Shi Zhen finally couldn't hold back and fell asleep.
When Guan Baiyu woke up the next day, there was no one beside him.
His eyes were sore and uncomfortable, but what he couldn't accept the most was that Shi Zhen was gone...
He rushed out barefoot and saw Shi Zhen cooking in the kitchen.
There were also many vegetables piled up next to it.
Shi Zhen has gone out!
"Xiaoyu, you're awake? Why did you run out? And why aren't you wearing shoes!" Shi Zhen frowned when he saw Guan Baiyu, then he saw Guan Baiyu rush over and bite him on the cheek: "Didn't I tell you not to go out? Who told you to go out?"
Guan Baiyu kept telling me not to go out yesterday, and even mentioned Shao Baitong several times...
Shi Zhen knew he was worried about him, and finally said, "Xiao Yu, you don't need to worry about Shao Baitong. Shi Xingchao found him last night and took him to the police station... That scoundrel actually hid outside and tried to run me over..."
Shi Zhen woke up early in the morning and saw many missed calls on his phone. After talking to Shi Xingchao, he learned about the matter and was shocked.
But everything is fine now.
There were many things about Shao Baitong that made it difficult for him to get out of the police station after he was sent there.
Later on... Shao Baitong wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing again.
Last night, Shao Baitong acted so recklessly in a moment of passion, but once he calmed down... who wouldn't want to live?
Moreover, Shao Baitong also had family members.
After figuring out what had happened, Shi Zhen checked his home and discovered that he didn't have a single fresh vegetable.
I wonder what Guan Baiyu has been eating these days!
Shi Zhen was angry, so he went and bought a lot of vegetables, intending to cook them for Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu sat at the dining table, never expecting that his life-or-death crisis had been resolved so easily.
He was really out of his mind yesterday, forgetting that Shi Zhen had quite a few men under his command.
Although the people under Shi Zhen were all sorts of shady characters, they were all from Shi Zhen's hometown, and under normal circumstances, they still listened to Shi Zhen.
“I cooked two dishes. Now that you’re awake, I’ll go make some noodles,” Shi Zhen said.
Guan Baiyu looked at the dishes on the table; they had a distinct Shi Zhen flavor.
Shi Zhen likes to use a lot of oil when cooking, then stir-fry the sliced meat, and then add the vegetables and cook them until done...
He likes to do this with all kinds of vegetables.
As for meat... he basically only cooks pork belly and chicken, using a pressure cooker, adding water, and boiling them until done.
Over the years they've been together, Shi Zhen would cook, and that's about it.
He didn't have nearly as many tricks up his sleeve as the one in my dream!
Sure enough, after putting a handful of noodles into the pot, Shi Zhen started releasing the pressure from the pressure cooker. After releasing the pressure, he took out a piece of cooked pork belly.
Shi Zhen quickly cut it open and poured in some light soy sauce.
They call light soy sauce "fresh soy sauce" here, and they all think it tastes particularly good.
Shi Zhen has loved this soy sauce ever since he tasted it.
The noodles were cooked. Shi Zhen scooped out a piece of lard, added some soy sauce, stirred it, and handed a bowl to Guan Baiyu: "I forgot to buy scallions..."
Guan Baiyu took the noodles and ate them slowly.
By the way, Shi Zhen's noodles are mostly the kind that's cooked in soy sauce and lard, then sprinkled with chopped green onions...
Shi Zhen quickly sat down at the table opposite Guan Baiyu, then picked up a piece of pork belly, dipped it in soy sauce, and scooped it up with a spoonful of fat... He put the piece with some lean meat on top into Guan Baiyu's bowl for him to eat.
Guan Baiyu can eat fatty meat, but he doesn't really like it and doesn't eat much of it.
Guan Baiyu added, "You should eat less fatty meat in the future!"
Guan Baiyu cried yesterday, and his eyes are still red. His face is very pale, and he speaks fiercely... but Shi Zhen just wants to kiss him.
Why did he ever think Guan Baiyu was unapproachable?
Guan Baiyu is clearly very easy to approach!
Guan Baiyu's coldness towards him these days is all a misunderstanding!
Shi Zhen said, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, your job position... I'll try to find some connections, it'll definitely be fine. I'll also help you find someone from your family..." Last night, he was thinking about resolving all the problems Guan Baiyu was facing, so that Guan Baiyu wouldn't feel so bad.
Guan Baiyu looked up at Shi Zhen.
The Shi Zhen in this moment is not as handsome as the Shi Zhen in my dream.
He wasn't as considerate as Shi Zhen in my dream.
He grew wildly, like a weed, and now he even had stubble on his chin.
But this is his Shi Zhen.
Guan Baiyu smiled at him: "Brother, you're so good to me, I love you the most."
Neither he nor Shi Zhen would have said such things in the past, but in the dream... he was very good at saying them.
Shi Zhen froze, not daring to look at Guan Baiyu, looking around erratically, and said, "You... what are you saying... how can you say such things... it would be bad if someone heard... um, um, I'll receive some money in a few days, I'll go buy you an apartment?"
