Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Give each other a chance. …
The first time Chi Ke saw someone drunk, his reaction was gradual.
When he carried Ji Qian into the car, he thought he had rarely met a man with good drinking tolerance.
Halfway through the drive, Ji Qian started to go crazy.
"Where are you taking me?" asked Ji Qianru, who had been sleeping for a long time.
"Hotel." Chi Ke couldn't possibly bring a drunkard home, and neither could Ji Qian.
But after hearing these two words, Ji Qian suddenly picked up the mineral water at hand and drank it down his stomach. He finished it in less than a minute. He didn't finish it yet and took another bottle.
Chi Ke was startled and quickly stopped on the side of the road to stop him: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not going to the hotel!" Ji Qian stiffened his neck and made a noise incoherently, "If you leave me in the hotel, I will drink all the water in the river and starve myself to death!"
Chi Ke: “.”
Chi Ke threw the few bottles of water into the trunk and started the car indifferently: "It's up to you, don't mess with the mineral water. If you really want to drink it, I'll take you to the riverside now."
Ji Qian: “.”
Ji Qian tremblingly took out his phone: "Hey Siri."
【I am here. 】
Ji Qian: "Please help me search for touching and tear-jerking videos."
Chi Ke: “?”
Quite polite, even when drunk he still said "please" to the AI.
Ji Qian: "I'm going to cry myself blind!"
Chi Ke: “…………”
Chi Ke was really at his wit's end, he had never seen anyone so mischievous.
"Alright, alright." He snatched Ji Qian's phone and put it in his pocket. "I'll take you back to my house, okay?"
Ji Qian lay back contentedly.
But after a while, he sat up again.
"Chi Ke."
Chi Ke is now afraid of him calling his name.
"What happened again?"
"I want a gift." Ji Qian said seriously, "It must be a very expensive, very beautiful, and very meaningful gift!"
Chi Ke: “.”
He no longer wanted to explore Ji Qian's crazy logic, and said in a good-tempered manner: "The mall is closed now, can we buy it tomorrow?"
"But I want it today." Ji Qian moved around unhappily. "I feel so bad now. When I think about not having a gift, I feel bad all over. It's like 10 billion ants gnawing at my bones, 10,000 fish swimming in my blood vessels, and 1,000 elephants stepping on my face. Let's go to Xishuangbanna to celebrate the Water Splashing Festival! The snow on Mount Everest and the water in the Mariana Trench can't--"
"Shut up!" Chi Ke couldn't stand it anymore.
You still talk so much even when you're drunk. Next time, don't drink and take some mute medicine.
He said coldly: "What do you want?"
Ji Qian suddenly became quiet and shook his head: "I don't know."
“…”
The strange thing is that after he said this, he was very quiet all the way and stopped making any noise. He lay on his side facing Chi Ke, staring at him without blinking. The alcohol gradually took effect on his head, and the corners of his eyes became redder and redder.
Chi Ke drove home unmoved. After the car stopped, he did not get out immediately, but stretched his palm upward toward the passenger seat.
Ji Qian buried his face in it without much hesitation.
Chi Ke smiled and pinched his cheeks, then called Ansel: "Are you still awake?"
"What time is it?" Ansel said. "What's the matter?"
"Do me a favor. I'll help you get that client." Chi Ke said, "I remember your aunt is in the jewelry business. In the last photo you posted on WeChat Moments, there was an emerald peacock-style brooch. Was it one of hers?"
Ansel said, "Yes, it hasn't been sold yet. What? Do you know anyone who wants to buy it?"
Chi Ke: “I’ll buy it.”
Ansel: “.”
After 10 seconds of silence, Ansel shouted, "Huh??? Are you hiding your identity as a rich second generation?! Even though these are not top-tier gems, they must be at least 70 or 80. I know you made a lot of money from stock market salary and dividends last month, but don't you still need to buy a car? You're crazy to buy one. You'll lose all your savings in one go!"
"I know," Chi Ke said calmly, "Anyway, can you help me get it tonight?"
The car will not be discontinued, and you can buy it after waiting. If Ji Qian can't buy a particularly expensive, particularly beautiful, and particularly meaningful gift today, he might end up drinking all the water in the Mariana Trench.
Ansel took a deep breath and said, "May I ask why?"
Chi Ke raised his eyes and happened to see Ji Qian rubbing his palm with his eyes closed. His hair was shaking and rubbing against his wrist, which was very itchy.
The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously: "Ah... Can a beautiful smile be bought with money?"
"..." Ansel collapsed, "Are you fucking in love? Calm down!"
"I'd love to." Chi Ke said, "Get it done quickly, or give me your contact information and I'll get it done for a high price."
"Okay, okay, I'll help you arrange it." Ansel was desperate. "I feel like my palm can't penetrate the screen! What kind of beauty is worthy of your obsession? Bring her out to me someday?"
"No." Chi Ke refused decisively, "Please hurry up and deliver it to me before midnight."
After hanging up the phone, he patted Ji Qian's face and said, "Wake up, get out of the car, and go upstairs."
"Hmm." Ji Qian saw double. He opened the car door in a daze. When he got out, he hit his head against the door. "Hiss!"
"You're so stupid." Chi Ke tied a knot of scarf around his neck and walked in front of him, holding one end of the scarf.
Ji Qian followed closely, and every time Chi Ke was about to fall on him, he would immediately pull the scarf with force, and Ji Qian would be a little more sober.
Although this practice is a bit... inhumane.
But what good treatment does a drunkard want? He didn't have the energy to drag and carry a 140-pound man upstairs.
Chi Ke dragged the man to the bedroom and threw him on the bed after a long time. Ji Qian fell unconscious immediately. Chi Ke went to take a shower first. When he came out, the jeweller knocked on the door.
The young man was very professional: "Mr. Chi, we have brought all the documents here. Just sign and pay after you check and see if there is any problem."
Chi Ke: “Come in first.”
"Don't come in!" Ji Qian suddenly appeared at the bedroom door.
Chi Ke's eyes went dark.
"Mr. Chi?" The young man looked at him uncertainly.
"You go in first." Chi Ke nodded, walked over and led Ji Qian into the house, "Behave yourself."
"Don't let him in." Ji Qian said word by word.
"He will be gone soon." Chi Ke forced him onto the bed.
Before Ji Qian's buttocks touched the mattress, he stood up like a spring.
Chi Ke pushed him down again.
Ji Qian bounced up again.
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke pressed it one last time: "Don't push me."
Ji Qian sneered and jumped up again.
Chi Ke laughed angrily, turned around and pulled out a tie, kicked the man to the bed while Ji Qian was not paying attention, pressed his knee directly on his chest, and tied the man's hands to the head of the bed under Ji Qian's shocked gaze.
"Just wait patiently, I'll untie you later."
He ruffled Ji Qian's hair and turned to go through the formalities.
The young man was quite polite. The door was not closed when they came in, so they could see into the house from the outside. There was a loud clanging noise inside, but he resisted the urge to even glance over. He provided NPC-like service throughout the whole process, quickly assisting him with the process.
Look at their service awareness.
Chi Ke thought of those troublesome employees at the hospital's front desk and security department who loved to gossip and quietly planned the next training session.
"Okay, Mr. Chi, I'll leave first if you're all right." The young man packed his things in a refreshed manner and smiled before leaving, "I wish you a pleasant night."
Chi Ke returned to the bedroom and couldn't help but applaud.
"Throwback, doctor."
The clothes were almost pushed off. If he had come a little later, Ji Qian would have been twisted into a knot and bitten his tie.
Chi Ke watched his struggle with great interest for a while.
This guy really has a good figure.
Unlike other frail doctors who neglected exercise, he had all the muscles he should have, but they were not noticeable because of the thick clothes he wore in winter, and he still had that rare muscular and slender waist. His two mermaid lines extended below the waistband of his suit pants, and there seemed to be two very shallow dimples on the back.
Of course, compared to the waist, the chest muscles are more beautiful.
It's not exaggerated fat-wrapped muscle, just pure muscle. At this moment, he is using his whole body to exert strength, and the visual effect of the muscles is very cool.
Chi Ke was very polite. He only looked at him for a while, then went over and covered the tie knot with one hand. He did not untie it immediately, but hung his hand higher, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Ji Qian nodded.
Chi Ke pinched his chin: "Tell me your name."
Ji Qian didn't seem to understand the significance of this request, but he still answered: "Chi Ke."
Chi Ke smiled and rubbed his cheek: "Good boy."
Ji Qian was quiet for a moment, then he actually switched to English, grumbling in dissatisfaction: "You tied my hands so hard that they hurt."
"Sorry." Chi Ke finally showed mercy and untied his tie, then threw the box of jewelry at him. "Here, the gift you asked for, don't bother me anymore, ancestor."
Ji Qian’s eyes suddenly opened wide, with messy hair, he hugged the box and entered into a state of meditation.
"You're so drunk that you can't take a shower on your own." Chi Ke took out a set of pajamas that he hadn't worn before. He liked loose pajamas, so they should be just right for Ji Qian. "I'll get you a towel later. You can wipe yourself and put them on."
He thought that Ji Qian, who had a very bad drinking habit, would continue to make a fuss for a while, but he didn't expect him to be very cooperative. He stood up straight when he was asked to, raised his head when he was asked to, and even wiped the sink clean and put the toothbrush holder in place after brushing his teeth.
I just wanted to hold the box containing the brooch the whole time and I didn't want it to be taken away for even a second. I didn't even open it after receiving it, so I don't know why I liked it so much.
Chi Ke was sweating after taking care of him. After watching the man fall asleep with the box in his arms, he took a shower, took a blanket and went out to sleep on the sofa.
I should have rented a two-bedroom apartment earlier.
He sighed and lay back on the sofa, feeling tired but not sleepy.
So much happened today.
Sure enough, Ji Qian is an unstable factor, always able to create all kinds of strange and bizarre copies of different sizes.
Before this, he had never thought that he would care about such a person.
And I care a lot more than I think.
Chi Ke put his arms over his eyes and everything in front of him was dark.
He likes a closed environment when sleeping, with the curtains drawn and the door closed, otherwise he cannot fall asleep unless he is extremely tired or has someone he trusts around him.
The open environment of the living room still makes people feel insecure.
"Chi Ke!"
Suddenly, a vague call came from the bedroom.
Chi Ke was so frightened that he sat up.
Before I could ask what was going on, I heard the man inside continue to speak with a thick tongue:
"Chi Ke, good night, sweet dreams..."
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke lay back and laughed for a long time.
It was Ji Qian who had been trying to get close to him from the beginning, and now he was the only one who was troubled by this. It was really unfair.
He thought that he liked Ji Qian enough to give each other a chance.
An opportunity to try to accept the other person.
Ji Qian forced him to take this step, and there was no room for whitewashing.
However, he also tried his best to restrain his nature and leave some ways to escape.
He will make Ji Qian gradually realize that the person he has offended is not as well-dressed as he seems. If he cannot accept it, he should leave as soon as possible and stop getting entangled.
If he still has this attitude after seeing the truth, you can only be prepared to be tied to him for the rest of your life.
This winter is very long. Although we have entered spring a long time ago, the temperature in S City has not changed much and is very cold.
Chi Ke considered himself to be magnanimous, so he didn't intend to care about the remaining damp and cold time, and extended the deadline until after the temperature warmed up.
Before the end of summer, Ji Qian had better use his weak brain to figure this problem out.
Either there will be a later.
Either friends can't do it.
Chi Ke didn't know whether his idea was extreme, but it was the most sensible and sincere choice he could think of within his principles.
He turned on his cell phone and clicked on Gitzby's chat box before sleepiness overwhelmed him.
【k: Good night. 】
…
Ji Qian woke up and opened his eyes to find that the bedroom environment was unfamiliar, completely unlike his home. He was so shocked that he did sit-ups.
The next second, he almost fell off the bed because of the hangover headache.
Ji Qian lay back and took a long time to relax, and his pupils, which had been dilated with pain, finally focused.
Seeing the calendar on the bedside table and the familiar handwriting on it, the memory of last night's drunkenness appeared in my mind in fragments...
“Fuck!”
He hurriedly got up and went out: "Late——"
"Awake?" Chi Ke was sitting on the sofa in his home clothes. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the noise. "The toiletries are in the bathroom. Go take a shower and come out to eat after you clean up."
Ji Qian still had a sleepy look on his face: "Ah?"
Chi Ke looked coldly: "You want me to treat you?"
"No, no need." Ji Qian had just taken two steps out of the door, and after hearing the words, he turned smoothly and walked towards the bathroom.
He splashed himself with cold water a few times, propped himself up on the sink with both hands, looked at himself in his pajamas, and thought in a daze:
Hold!
Alcohol kills people!!
It’s over. It’s over.
This time it went too far.
The last breakfast will be served soon.
Chi Ke will definitely ignore him from now on.
Ji Qian wanted to cry.
How dare I do that? How dare I cling to Chi Ke and refuse to let go, forcing him to take me home even if I refuse to stay in a hotel? How dare I be so unreasonable and demand gifts? And, I even forced him to tie me up in order to live in peace...
For the first time, Ji Qian hated his memory. Why couldn't he completely black out like other people when they were drunk?!
……etc.
Gift?
He yesterday.
It seems like maybe I did receive a gift?
Ji Qian quickly brushed his teeth, washed his face and took a shower. When he entered the door, he bumped into the glass. Fortunately, it was his arm that hit it, so the sound was muffled and the person outside didn't hear it, so he managed to save his image.
After washing, he casually wiped his wet hair, rushed to the bed and searched for the gift he remembered. Sure enough, he found a small box that looked very expensive.
When I opened it, I saw an emerald brooch in the shape of a peacock lying quietly inside. There was also a card in the interlayer that read "For Mr. Ji".
The neat cursive letters are obviously the handwriting of a jeweler.
Chi Ke's English has very beautiful cursive writing, which is more beautiful and elegant than this one.
Ji Qian knelt on the bed, looking at the box of jewelry for a long time, then rushed out like a whirlwind and knocked the man on the sofa to the ground.
"Tsk." Chi Ke fell on the sofa without any defense, his face covered with wet hair. He brushed it away with disgust and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ji Qian nestled in the crook of his neck and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
Chi Ke grabbed the hair at the back of his head and was about to lift it up when he suddenly felt a little wet on his shoulders, but not as cold as the water on his hair.
His wrist froze.
...tears?
Chi Ke was at a loss.
What did I do?
You didn't do anything to him last night, did you?
Why did you suddenly start crying?
Did I just be mean to him?
Nope...
"Thank you." Ji Qian sniffed, unable to explain that yesterday was actually his birthday, so he could only say it again, "I... fuck, thank you anyway."
Chi Ke: “.”
Chi Ke was extremely puzzled. He patted the back of his head carefully. Although he didn't know what he was thanking him for, he still said, "You're welcome. Are you... feeling better?"
"Yeah." Ji Qian sat up slowly. There was indeed nothing serious and his eyes were not even red.
Although he said he cried, in fact he only shed one tear. If Chi Ke didn't care about him so much, he might not have felt it at all.
Ji Qian wanted to say something to ease his discomfort, but his eyes stopped at Chi Keyin's trouser legs that were rolled up to his knees: "You had surgery on your calves?"
"Hmm?" Chi Ke immediately came back to his senses and put down his pants to cover the scar. "It's okay, get up and eat."
“…”
Ji Qian lowered his gaze and said softly, "Chi Ke."
Chi Ke looked back: "Hmm?"
"Now," Ji Qian's right eyelashes were still a little wet, he looked at him without blinking, and asked, "Are we reconciled now?"
Reconcile?
When did we have a fight?
Chi Ke then realized that his previous determination to hold the dividing line and not retreat even an inch had made Ji Qian feel very sad.
That wasn't his intention.
He didn't plan to try it, but he just didn't want Ji Qian to be sad.
Now it seems difficult to move forward or backward, so it would be better if there is still hope for further progress, right?
He still won't change himself.
But maybe Ji Qian can accept it?
Seeing the uneasiness and nervousness in his eyes, Chi Ke put away the disposable dishes and chopsticks that he had placed on the table just to save trouble, and replaced them with two new sets of custom-made ceramic tableware.
"Well, we're done, let's eat."
