Chapter 82 "Touch"

Lu Ran was stumped by the question.

He sat up straight and was silent for a while.

Ji Min originally just wanted to change the subject and casually "attacked".

Noticing the silence in the car, he was also stunned.

He side-glanced at the boy beside him.

The boy narrowed his eyes with a pair of well-behaved arcs and slightly frowned.

Even his lips pursed unconsciously.

This is an expression of thinking very hard.

He was thinking seriously about the answer to this question.

Ji Min, who had just said it casually, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly.

Even the complex street scenes that flashed by outside the car window turned into a blurred shadow.

The breathing sounds of the driver in the front seat and Butler Chen seemed to become distant.

In this small space that was almost stagnant.

Ji Min felt his heart beating heavily and clearly in his chest.

"Boom, boom..."

Once, twice, three times...

Ji Min's Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

He stared at the boy beside him. It was just a teasing opening.

Now, the person who took the initiative to make a joke seemed to be waiting for a doomsday judgment.

Finally, under the man's gaze.

The boy who had been immersed in thought moved. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, then touched his cheeks.

Then he stopped moving, frowned and sat upright, not knowing what he was doing.

Ji Min's Adam's apple moved slightly again.

He wanted to ask, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

But he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would interrupt the boy's thinking.

And get some unwanted answer.

Another minute passed.

The boy looked up at him, blinked twice and said, "I think I don't like you."

Ji Min was stunned.

His heart, hanging in the air, fell heavily to the ground with a "click".

No?

Not for the time you spent thinking about it, and not for the little tricks you did!

Ji Min almost didn't think about it, and instinctively asked, "Why?"

After asking, he immediately regretted it, thinking it was too much.

But the boy didn't seem to think anything of it.

He answered seriously:

"Because when you asked me this question just now, I didn't blush and my heartbeat didn't beat like in the novel. I just counted my heart rate, and it's still within the normal range. It didn't get faster at all!"

Ji Min: "..."

The man's face froze on the spot.

He almost subconsciously wanted to say: "All those messed up things in the novel are fake, think about it carefully!"

But after realizing what he was thinking, his face became even darker.

The child next to him was still saying: "Boss, you are really good at imagining things, how can I like you?"

"You are my boss, and you have such a bad temper..."

biu~

President Ji stabbed another knife in his heart.

"Do you still remember that I am your boss?" Ji Min gritted his teeth.

Without waiting for Lu Ran to react, he shouted to the driver in front: "Stop."

Then he turned around and said to Lu Ran with a cold face: "Get off."

Lu Ran was not afraid of him at all: "But there is still one stop to my school."

"Walk by yourself." Ji Min said very coldly.

Lu Ran got off the car with his schoolbag on his back, swearing.

When closing the car door, she was still complaining: "You are so stingy. I have rejected you more than once or twice. Why are you still so angry?"

Ji Min: "..."

How can it be the same as before!

That was just your refusal on your own initiative.

Looking at the back of the business car going away, Lu Ran was still shaking his head and sighing: "Why are you so stingy?"

Shen's family.

Recently, the internal problems of Shen's are still serious.

When Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingyu returned home the next day, they saw Mrs. Shen pulling Shen Xingran to celebrate.

The two opened a bottle of champagne and ordered a table of dishes. They looked very happy.

When Shen Hongyuan was tired, he hated it most when someone was having fun at home. She immediately said

in a deep voice: "What are you making a fuss about? You've been running around outside all day and you can't rest when you get home."

Shen Xingran pretended to be a little scared and put down her chopsticks. Mrs. Shen immediately said: "Celebration must be for good things to happen. Guess what it is?" Shen Hongyuan thought that Mrs. Shen had a channel to help him connect with the new project. Just when he was happy, he heard Mrs. Shen say: "Lu Ran moved away." Shen Hongyuan was stunned and his face darkened instantly: "What did you say?" Mrs. Shen didn't notice anything and continued: "Finally, no one is making trouble at home and making those dirty things. I can finally sleep peacefully in the future." Shen Xingyu's face was also a little unhappy. He frowned and asked, "Mom? What do you mean? Where did Lu Ran go?" "He was picked up by Ji Min." Mrs. Shen snorted, "He looked down on our Shen family and went to the Ji family to enjoy a good life." As soon as she said this, Shen Hongyuan, who had been sullen all the time, suddenly lost his temper. He slammed the table hard, knocking over the champagne bottle on the table. With a "clang", the sound of the bottle falling to the ground mixed with Shen Hongyuan's roar rang out: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could you let Lu Ran go?"

"I left a guy who was raised in an orphanage in the Shen family, and I was so shameless that I held a grand banquet to welcome him back, and you let him go with just one word?"

Shen Hongyuan's reaction was so sudden that Mrs. Shen was shocked.

She covered her chest and looked at Shen Hongyuan in confusion, saying, "Why are you angry? He wants to leave, and Ji Min came to pick him up in person. What do you want me to do?"

"But you can't let Lu Ran go. He is...he is..."

Shen Hongyuan kept saying it for a long time, and finally pointed at Mrs. Shen's nose and cursed, "He is your biological son!"

Mrs. Shen was stunned as if a switch was poked.

Then, she jumped up and grabbed Shen Hongyuan's face as if she had gone crazy.

Suddenly, the only sound in the room was Mrs. Shen's screams: "Shen Hongyuan, what do you mean? Are you looking for trouble with me now? If you and I hadn't quarreled in the middle of the trip, how could the child be lost!"

"It's all because of you! I'm his mother, aren't you his father?"

The middle-aged couple in the living room wrestled with each other.

Shen Xingran was a little shocked.

Although Mrs. Shen and Shen Hongyuan often quarreled, this was the first time he saw the two of them fighting like this.

He subconsciously took two steps back and retreated to a corner away from the storm.

Shen Xingyu looked at Shen Hongyuan and Mrs. Shen.

He first went up and called out: "Dad! Mom!"

But the people who were so angry that they were scolding each other obviously didn't respond.

Shen Xingyu stood aside and watched quietly for a while.

He covered his forehead and sighed as if to escape.

Finally, he put his hand down, walked forward and forcibly separated the two.

The living room was noisy for a while before it returned to silence.

Shen Hongyuan did not leave the Shen family to go to the company.

In the past, after he and Mrs. Shen quarreled, they would leave because they were annoyed.

But today the noise was too big.

Even in the villa area, the surrounding neighbors probably heard about it.

If he left at this time, would the Shen family still have face?

In the evening.

Shen Hongyuan sat alone in the small living room smoking a cigar.

Mrs. Shen had made a scene and had gone into the bedroom to sleep first.

Shen Hongyuan's face was solemn.

He reached out to cut the cigar, and when he lit it, he found that his hands were shaking.

But on second thought, he comforted himself.

Lu Ran and Ji Min have been close for a long time, and they have stayed there before.

He wouldn't be surprised because Lu Ran moved in now. They

are just two lunatics, what serious trouble can they cause?

Besides...

Shen Hongyuan held a cigar in one hand, and looked at the dark night view outside the window through the half-drawn curtains.

His eyes were distant.

It happened more than ten years ago, there was nothing to worry about.

Lu Ran was a four-year-old child who got lost and experienced a mountain flood. It was not worth his fear.

However, for the peace of the Shen family, Lu Ran really couldn't be left outside.

He had to find a way to control him.

But these few days are a critical time for the Shen family, so it would be better to let Lu Ran live outside for a few days.

So as to avoid trouble at home.

After understanding this, Shen Hongyuan calmed down.

He was no longer in a hurry. He

moved his fingers, leisurely held the cigar and took a deep puff.

He had the cigar in his mouth when he suddenly saw something moving.

He did not turn on the ceiling light and the light in the room was very dim.

Shen Hongyuan held the cigar in his mouth and saw with his own eyes a dark shadow, almost half the length of a cigar, crawling slowly on the cigar.

Slowly, slowly approaching his face.

For a moment, Shen Hongyuan's eyes widened like chicken eyes.

Until the two thin whiskers waved to Shen Hongyuan's lips.

He shouted "Ah" and jumped up from the sofa.

The lit cigar fell directly on his thigh, and it burned and made another "wow" sound.

The two howls were so loud that it shook the earth.

Mrs. Shen, who had just fallen asleep in the bedroom, woke up immediately.

She walked out in her pajamas unhappily, looked at Shen Hongyuan and asked, "Why are you howling? It's the middle of the night and I thought there was a fire in our house."

"No! There is, there is..." Shen Hongyuan didn't see clearly what it was.

After all, the color of that thing was very similar to that of a cigar, and the light in the room was very dim.

"It's on the cigar..." Shen Hongyuan said, pointing at the cigar.

At this time, the lit cigar had fallen on the sofa and burned a hole in the leather sofa.

"Oh, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Shen said distressed.

She walked over, picked up the cigar, and looked around: "Nothing, are you old and your eyes are blurry?"

Shen Hongyuan was also a little suspicious at this moment.

The two walked around the sofa and didn't find anything suspicious.

Mrs. Shen sneered: "A pest control company just came to our house a few days ago. It was very clean. How could there be anything?"

"Could it be... I really saw it wrong?"

Shen Hongyuan was uncertain.

He was indeed too tired today. He made no progress at work, and he made such a fuss when he got home.

Mrs. Shen over there had already gone to bed with peace of mind.

Shen Hongyuan looked around suspiciously again, and finally entered the bedroom.

No one saw that a dark shadow was crawling upright on the curtains of the small living room.

And in the folds of the curtain, there was a second one, a third one...

At first glance, they matched the pattern of the curtain.

In the middle of the night.

Mrs. Shen was half asleep and half awake, and she felt her feet were a little itchy.

It seemed like something was crawling.

She reached out and touched it, but there was nothing.

Mrs. Shen woke up for a moment and smiled knowingly.

In the past, after she and Shen Hongyuan had a quarrel, Shen Hongyuan often coaxed her in this way.

It seemed that this time was the same.

So Mrs. Shen fell asleep peacefully again.

For the next few nights, Mrs. Shen felt as if something was "touching" her body.

Sometimes it was her toes and calves, sometimes it was her arms, and sometimes it seemed to be stroking her hair.

Mrs. Shen was originally very proud, thinking that you still know how to apologize.

At this time, she pretended to be asleep and did not move on purpose.

But the number of "touching" increased, and Mrs. Shen felt that it disturbed her sleep.

Mrs. Shen's anger from the quarrel that day had long dissipated.

So, one morning during breakfast.

She said to Shen Hongyuan angrily: "You are an old couple, don't make trouble all day long, and sleep well at night."

Shen Xingran came down from the stairs, heard this, and smiled, saying: "Mom and Dad have a good relationship."

Only Shen Hongyuan was puzzled.

He glanced at Mrs. Shen and said strangely: "What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

After that, he put on his coat and went to work.

Mrs. Shen said to Shen Xingran: "Look at him, he is still shy."

It was night again.

The familiar touch like crawling and "touching" came.

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly.

She thought she had caught him.

Didn't you deny it? Let her catch it now.

So Mrs. Shen was quick-witted and slapped over.

After slapping over, Mrs. Shen was stunned when she didn't catch anyone's finger.

Soon, she felt something moving in the palm of her hand.

Mrs. Shen picked it up curiously.

With the moonlight outside the window, she leaned forward to take a look.

She saw a cockroach longer than her thumb, waving its tentacles and claws and struggling in her hand.

Isn't this the so-called "touching"?

Mrs. Shen: "..."

Mrs. Shen: "Ah——"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the Shen residence at night.
