Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Grandpa asks you if you are in love.
The shirt was hanging loosely, revealing Sheng Jianan's shoulders and a large area of fair skin on his back.
Jiang Chi hugged him from behind, gave him a kiss on the back of his handsome neck, and held Sheng Jianan in his arms a little tighter.
Sheng Jianan's lips were slightly open, his eyes were staring at a certain place without focus, and a thin layer of sweat was oozing from the tip of his nose.
Sensing Jiang Chi's restlessness, he grabbed Jiang Chi's hand and turned his head away: "...No, this is Grandpa's house."
Jiang Chi laughed and teased him: "Sheng Nannan, these are all your excuses. It's not okay at home, and it's not okay at grandpa's house either."
Sheng Jianan was silent for a moment, looked at him with moist eyes, and said, "I'll help you."
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chi felt the hand holding him move downwards. He immediately smiled, reached out and grabbed Sheng Jianan's hand, looking at him.
In fact, Jiang Chi originally didn't intend to do anything, but every time he saw Sheng Jianan's innocent eyes... he couldn't help but want to bully him, he really wanted to.
Obviously, he loved Sheng Jianan the most and wouldn't let him suffer any grievance, but at this moment, he was particularly mean and wanted to see Sheng Jianan's pitiful look.
Sheng Jianan moved the wrist that Jiang Chi was holding and asked, "Do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Chi stared at him, his lips slightly raised, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Your hands are too tender, I feel bad."
Sheng Jianan blinked. Jiang Chi had been rejecting him with this reason recently.
However, his hands were indeed kept very tender by Jiang Chi, and massage and maintenance were both essential. Usually when carrying a suitcase, Jiang Chi was afraid that he would get his hands choked or get tired, so he was reluctant to let him do anything.
Although Jiang Chi has always been so good to him, ever since they started dating, Sheng Jianan feels sweet inside when he pays attention to the details. The whole person seems to be trapped in soft clouds, making people feel happy and satisfied.
He could clearly feel that Jiang Chi's passionate and intense love deeply surrounded him.
Jiang Chi took his hand and pecked it.
"Use your legs," he said.
Sheng Jianan: “…”
-
When they woke up the next day, it was already late. When Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi went downstairs, only Mile was sitting in the hall watching TV.
Seeing them walking down the stairs, Mi Le looked over, and after watching for a while, he took the initiative to say, "Grandpa Jiang took my grandpa for a walk."
Sheng Jianan subconsciously looked at him, paused slightly, and thanked him. Jiang Chi twisted his jaw to prevent him from looking, and then took him to the restaurant.
Watching their backs as they turned into the restaurant, Mile couldn't help but find it funny. Jiang Chi had such a bad personality, he was domineering and possessive, and he would only accommodate him if he met someone as good-tempered as Sheng Jianan.
However, he really didn't believe that there would be no gap between the two of them. It is impossible to have no conflicts in any interpersonal relationship, whether it is among relatives, lovers or friends. They will not be an exception.
In other words, people are selfish and they don't believe in selfless love.
At this moment, there was a voice outside the door. It was two old people who came back from a walk.
"Let me see, it's almost noon, and these two kids haven't gotten up yet." Grandpa Jiang walked into the hall and said to himself, "What time did they go to bed last night?"
Mi Le turned his head and reminded: "Grandpa Jiang, they are in the restaurant."
"Oh, you're up." Grandpa Jiang laughed and walked to the restaurant, calling, "Jiang Chi, have you finished eating? Come out and help grandpa with some work."
Not long after, Jiang Chi came out and leaned against the door frame of the restaurant: "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"
"I asked you if you had finished your breakfast." Grandpa Jiang said, "If you have, come to the yard and help me with some work."
"Okay." Jiang Chi thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me a minute."
Then he walked back to the restaurant.
"What does grandpa want you to do?" Sheng Jianan asked.
"I don't know." Jiang Chi said, "What could he do? He always plants flowers and vegetables and tills the land."
Jiang Chi was too lazy to sit down, so he leaned forward slightly, put his arms on the back of the chair next to Sheng Jianan, glanced at his plate, and pointed at the sandwich: "Take a couple of bites."
Sheng Jianan picked up the sandwich and handed it to his mouth. Jiang Chi took a big bite and prepared to get up and go out to work.
"Would you like to eat something more?" Sheng Jianan asked.
Jiang Chi usually eats a lot, and he was afraid that Jiang Chi wouldn’t be full.
Jiang Chi looked at it again, took the half-eaten crab meat scrambled eggs in his bowl, and poured it directly into his mouth. Then he took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth: "I'm going to help grandpa with his work. You eat by yourself first."
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded.
After Jiang Chi left, Sheng Jianan continued to eat breakfast leisurely.
Not long after they started eating, they heard footsteps at the door. Sheng Jianan thought Jiang Chi had come back again, and when she looked up, she saw Mi Le walking in.
Mi Le raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "You seem disappointed to see me?"
"...No." After a brief pause, Sheng Jianan asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yeah." Mi Le sat down on the chair next to Sheng Jianan and put the massager in his hand next to him. "I saw this massager when I was shopping a few days ago. It's specially for hand massage. I thought you were studying art. I don't know if you need it, but I want to give it to you. I also bought one to try it out. It's quite comfortable."
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes, looked up at Mi Le, and then politely refused: "Thank you, I have a massager at home, so I don't need it for the time being."
He expected Sheng Jianan to refuse. Mile looked at the massager and pondered for a moment.
Sheng Jianan has a good temper and is easy to talk to, but most importantly... he seems to be susceptible to being pestered. For example, Jiang Chi’s style that always seems a bit overbearing.
"You seem to dislike me." Mile said with a smile, "I just want to be friends with you."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Actually, I met you abroad a long time ago."
Sheng Jianan raised his eyes.
"My friend went to the same high school as you. He sent me photos of you and praised you to me." Mi Le explained, "The more times he praised you, the deeper my impression of you became. I've always wanted to meet you."
Sheng Jianan was slightly puzzled. Although the plot has deviated from its original track due to the deterioration of Jiang Chi's feelings for him. Sheng Jianan still found Comile's attitude towards him a little incomprehensible.
Originally, the main characters in the book were supposed to fall in love at first sight, and the main character, the bottom, really disliked his childhood sweetheart, so after they fell in love at first sight, Jiang Chi never returned to the little cannon fodder.
Since Jiang Chi’s birthday, in addition to the plot going off track, Sheng Jianan found that many things were different from the original novel.
Before that, everything in his life was almost the same as described in the novel. He has a mom and dad who love him, and a childhood sweetheart who is super clingy and hard to get rid of. His mom and dad and grandpa all like him very much and take care of him.
Apart from his poor health, he lived in such a very warm and happy atmosphere.
This is certainly true of the first half of the book.
But after the two protagonists fell in love, the whole tone of the novel changed. The little cannon fodder fell from heaven to hell, and there was not even a friend around to comfort him. It was as if he was abandoned by the world in an instant. All the descriptions of him in the book are self-pitying and miserable, which serves to highlight the sweetness between the protagonists.
But now, everything is different from what is described later in the book. He still lives in the warm and happy tone of the first half of the book, and there are still many kind strangers who want to be friends with him.
It made him feel that the incompatible second half of the book was just a nightmare before he fell into a deep sleep in his previous life.
"Can we be friends?" asked Mile.
Sheng Jianan lowered his eyes and paused for a moment. Although Mile's attitude is indeed very different from that in the book, with the shadow of death fifteen years ago looming in their hearts, they will definitely not be able to be friends.
Furthermore, he couldn't quite see through Mile's thoughts and always felt that there was something else behind every word he said. Maybe he is more suitable to be friends with people like Jiang Chi and Ling Mo who are straightforward or heartless.
Sheng Jianan moved his lips slightly, and was about to politely refuse, when he heard Jiang Chi's voice coming from outside: "No."
The action is quite fast.
Mile couldn't help but complain in his heart, then he turned his head to look out, and saw Jiang Chi leaning lazily against the door frame, but his eyes were particularly unfriendly.
Mi Le paused and smiled: "I'm talking to Sheng Jianan. Excuse me, does it have anything to do with you?"
Jiang Chi walked in, walked to Sheng Jianan's side, put one hand on the back of his chair, looked at Mi Le, and asked, "Are you nearsighted?"
"Myopia? Me?" Mi Le was stunned and said, "I'm not myopic."
"That means blindness." Jiang Chi said.
Mile looked at him and finally understood what he said.
He vaguely heard footsteps coming outside.
"You mean what you did on the stairs last night? Or what you did in the garden on your birthday?" Mile smiled, "Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. Because everyone told me that you are just very close friends. I thought kissing was just your way of expressing friendship."
"After all..." Mi Le looked at Sheng Jianan, then at Jiang Chi, and said with a smile, "It is very irresponsible to fall in love in the name of friends."
"Who is irresponsible in a relationship?" Grandpa Jiang's voice suddenly appeared at the door, followed by Grandpa Mi who asked curiously.
Mile said nothing.
Jiang Chi smiled, glanced at him, and shrugged: "I don't know, ask him."
Grandpa Mi glanced at them suspiciously and asked, "Mimi, who are you talking about being irresponsible in a relationship with whom?"
Mi Le looked up at Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi, and after a long while, he said, "They are two good friends of mine from abroad, two boys. They are in a relationship, but they have always claimed to be straight. I think this behavior is very irresponsible."
Grandpa Jiang paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Chi, then looked at Sheng Jianan, and said, "The two friends you are talking about are Jiang Chi and Nan Nan, right?"
After he finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang asked again: "Are you two in love?"
Sheng Jianan glanced at Jiang Chi, and Jiang Chi was also looking down at him.
After staring at each other for a moment, Jiang Chi said with a smile: "Grandpa is asking you if you are in love."
"..." Sheng Jianan glanced at him, then nodded to Grandpa Jiang and said softly, "Yeah."
"How long has it been?" Grandpa Jiang asked.
Sheng Jianan calculated: "...almost a month."
"Do your parents know about this?" Grandpa Jiang asked again.
Sheng Jianan nodded: "I know."
This time Grandpa Jiang was silent. For a moment, the restaurant was so quiet that even the sound of the wind outside the window could be clearly heard.
Seeing this, Grandpa Mi patted Grandpa Jiang on the shoulder and tried to comfort him: "Old Jiang, your children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren..."
"So I'm the last one to know about such an important thing." Grandpa Jiang didn't pay any attention to what Grandpa Mi was saying and interrupted him.
After a moment of silence, he added angrily, "It was still a month later."
