Chapter 45
For two consecutive days, Song Shiyu went straight to the swimming pool after get off work.
Having not swum for a long time, he almost immersed himself in the cool water until he was exhausted and leaned against the edge of the pool to catch his breath.
The flow of water can temporarily take away the complicated thoughts, whether it is about the invisible hands behind Song Zhi, or the deep longing for the person he is about to meet.
On the day he left for City M, Ms. Ruan Ning personally sent him to the airport.
In the car, Song Shiyu received the latest investigation information about the Song Zhi incident.
The report showed that Song Zhi was taken away by a group of well-trained people. Their vehicle was unlicensed and they moved quickly.
They took him to an abandoned warehouse. About ten minutes later, a very tall man walked out of the warehouse surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
Because the distance was too far, the picture was blurry and the face could not be recognized, but the posture of bending over to sit in the car and the overly superior figure inexplicably evoked an elusive sense of familiarity in Song Shiyu.
Afterwards, the group left with Song Zhi, who was unaware of the danger.
Who was it? Who could have pulled off such a spree, taking care of Song Zhi with even more brutal means before he could? Was it Song Zhi's own fault for provoking the wrong person, or was there… some other reason he didn't know about?
After arriving at the airport, Ruan Ning accompanied Song Shiyu into the waiting hall.
After a while, a lady of the same age as Ruan Ning, with an elegant temperament, came over with a smile, followed by Gu Chun.
"Xiaojiu, this is your Aunt Qingqing." Ruan Ning introduced.
"Hello, Aunt Qingqing." Song Shiyu greeted politely.
"Hey, hello, hello!" He Qing smiled warmly, looking at Song Shiyu with admiration, "You are indeed a handsome man, even more handsome than in the photo!"
Song Shi and Gu Chun next to him nodded to each other as a greeting.
Ruan Ning exchanged a few pleasantries with He Qing, then urged them to go check in.
After boarding the plane, He Qing deliberately exchanged seats with Gu Chun and sat closer to Song Shiyu.
Song Shiyu put on headphones and immersed himself in the song with Ji Zhiqi.
Gu Chun was quietly flipping through the newspaper.
He Qing felt anxious when she saw her son's lukewarm attitude. The more she looked at Song Shiyu, the more satisfied she felt. She felt that he and Gu Chun were a perfect match.
She kept winking at Gu Chun, who could only smile helplessly and shrug slightly, signaling his mother to stay calm.
The two-hour flight was over quickly.
When the plane landed in City M, Song Shiyu politely invited He Qing and Gu Chun to go to the hotel together, and the two did not refuse.
Arriving at the hotel, the three of them went upstairs together.
He Qing's room is on the next floor, while Gu Chun's room happens to be on the same floor as Song Shiyu's.
The two walked side by side in the corridor. The atmosphere was subtly quiet, with only one or two polite conversations occasionally.
Just as Song Shiyu walked to the door of his room, his eyes fixed - outside the door, a person was leaning lazily against the wall, waiting quietly.
Song Shiyu's eyes instantly showed a clear smile, and his tone was intimate: "You are here. Why don't you go in and wait for me first?"
Ji Zhiqi raised his eyes, his gaze first deeply fixed on Song Shiyu's face, and then he glanced at Gu Chun beside him inconspicuously.
The corners of his lips curved up into a perfect arc, but the smile did not fully reach his eyes. His voice was as low and pleasant as always: "Waiting for you to go in together."
Gu Chun looked at Ji Zhiqi who suddenly appeared, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He had to admit that this man was indeed unforgettable. No wonder his mother was so fascinated by him.
However, when he saw Song Shi's smile, which was completely different from the one he had when facing Ji Zhiqi, a completely relaxed and even dependent one, he knew in his heart that the relationship between these two people was not simple at all.
He patted Song Shiyu's shoulder at the right time and said naturally, "See you tomorrow, Xiaojiu."
Ji Zhiqi recognized this man; he was the one who drank with Song Shiyu that night.
Almost at the moment when Gu Chun's hand touched Song Shiyu's shoulder, Ji Zhiqi reached out, pulled Song Shiyu over, and hugged him tightly in his arms.
His beautiful eyes looked straight at Gu Chun, his eyes were calm, but with an unquestionable declaration and a subtle warning.
Gu Chun was slightly startled, then forced a smile that showed understanding and a hint of apology, nodded, and turned to leave.
As soon as Ji Zhiqi brought him into the room and the door closed behind him, Song Shiyu was pressed against the door panel by an irresistible force. Ji Zhiqi kissed him with a hint of ferocity, taking his breath away.
This kiss was filled with strong possessiveness and longing for not seeing each other for several days. It was not until Song Shiyu's breathing became unstable that they separated slightly.
Song Shiyu was panting slightly, with red eyes. He looked at Ji Zhiqi with a playful smile, his voice a little hoarse: "Ji Zhiqi, are you jealous?"
Ji Zhiqi did not answer, but leaned over again and bit his lower lip lightly, giving a clear answer with his action.
"The concert is tomorrow, how come you still have time to come out?" Song Shiyu raised his hand and gently touched the corner of Ji Zhiqi's lips with his fingertips.
Ji Zhiqi took the opportunity to rub his warm neck, his voice muffled and dependent: "I have time to see you anytime."
Although he was greedy for this tenderness, Song Shiyu still rationally urged Ji Zhiqi to go back and have a good rest. After all, he would need to sing for several hours continuously tomorrow and must be in the best condition.
Although Ji Zhiqi was reluctant, he obeyed.
Song Shiyu carefully helped him put on the mask and hat, and after confirming that the disguise was correct, he personally sent him to the underground garage.
Watching Ji Zhiqi get into the car, Song Shiyu stood outside the car, smiled and waved goodbye to him.
The vehicle slowly drove away. Song Shiyu stood there, looking at the disappearing taillights, but the description in the investigation report involuntarily emerged in his mind again - the figure of the mysterious man who came out of the warehouse, bent down and sat in the car.
Ji Zhiqi's action of bending down to get into the car just now...why does it look so familiar?
