Chapter 58 Chapter 58 "Honey, open the car door for me."...
"Why why why? Give me a reason not to agree! Do you dislike this house or the person who lives in it?!"
Ji Qian couldn't believe that Chi Ke only took one minute to reject the answer.
In an instant he lost all his strength and power, screaming in pain and burrowing into his boyfriend's arms.
"I don't want to play anymore!" Ji Qian said, "You were just saying that in anger, right? I don't believe you are willing to do this."
Chi Ke said apologetically: "I really didn't tease you this time."
Ji Qian let go and walked away: "I'm going to jump off the building."
"Come back." Chi Ke grabbed his neck and pulled him back to hug him again, trying to reason with him, "You have to give me some time to adapt."
Ji Qian laughed, "So you are the real old-fashioned one?"
Without thinking, Chi Ke raised his hand and slapped him on the back: "I really enjoy my time and space alone. I applied for a dormitory on my own in junior high and high school, and I haven't lived with anyone for more than ten years."
Not accepting cohabitation is not because of conservative thinking.
If Ji Qian said, "Let's get a room," he could just turn around and go out with his ID card; but living together is not allowed.
When he was in high school, Chi Ke particularly liked to study in his dormitory with headphones on, refusing to take in any outside sounds. He would study until two or three in the morning and felt more comfortable than ever before.
Later, when he started working, what he enjoyed most was drinking a little wine, reading books and watching videos at home alone at night, sitting quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoying the night view of the city.
In an environment where one is overwhelmed by studies and work, alone time is particularly rare and can be said to be one of the great hopes of life.
He is picky and self-aware. Even during the period when he needed money most in college, he refused to share a house with others. He lived frugally and spent a lot of money on rent.
He couldn't accept living under the same roof with an acquaintance, let alone washing, sleeping and living with another person. It would be better to kill him.
So in all the years of Chi Ke's life, he never considered falling in love and getting married.
But plans cannot keep up with changes, and if the target is Ji Qian, it doesn’t seem so difficult to accept.
But all of this takes time to get used to.
"I'm just rejecting you temporarily," Chi Ke pushed him away and said soothingly, "You even know the phrase 'love grows over time', you should also know how to proceed step by step, right?"
Ji Qian snorted in dissatisfaction: "How do you mean by gradual progress? It's four kilometers from where you are to where I am, so I move one meter a day?"
Chi Ke smiled and said, "Why don't you say something sarcastic to me again?"
Ji Qian immediately said: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and take my time."
The matter of living together was put on hold for the time being.
Ji Qian originally wanted to try harder to fight for himself, but he didn't expect that his boyfriend was so busy in the next few days that he was nowhere to be seen. Several documents were sent to the hospital for him to sign, and he was too busy to be there in person.
Ji Qian was very depressed.
Isn't it said on the Internet that couples who just started dating are very much in love? Why doesn't this rule apply to them?
Ansel, who had just learned that his friend was no longer single, was also very curious about this question.
"People fall in love to make love, why do you want to work?"
Chi Ke said without even looking up: "I urgently need a large amount of cash."
It is a bit difficult to cash out assets in a short period of time at this critical juncture, and he is trying to minimize the losses.
Ansel said, "How much cash do you need so urgently? I can lend you a small sum of four or five million."
"Thanks, it's okay, I can handle it myself." Chi Ke said calmly, "It will cost 20 to 30 million."
Ansel: “…”
Ansel: "Fuck, you're not going to gamble, are you?"
"What are you thinking about? Serious business." Chi Ke didn't talk much about this topic, and said, "I plan to package and sell the hospital within a year."
"Sheng Huijia? Are you crazy?" Ansel frowned, "Will your partner be happy?"
Chi Ke said: "We have discussed it, he is eager to do so."
Ji Qian was not happy with his position as the director of the hospital. The hospital was given by the Ji family. If it were not for maintaining "family ties", he would have definitely abandoned the hospital and left, and would not have to live there under the fear of Ji Song.
"What will you do after you sell it?" Ansel asked, "You must be planning to start a business, right? Do you have any ideas?"
Chi Ke pinched his finger bones and said, "I will try to leave Zhenting by the end of next year."
The economic situation in this world is very different from the world he originally lived in.
Maybe it’s because the protagonist of this world, Leng Yunting, is in the financial industry, and investing in financial companies is still a money-making outlet. These majors are also popular choices among most college students, which coincides with his major in his previous life.
In his previous life, he did not step into the era of making money in his professional field. He made his first money by starting a small program.
It is difficult to start a business across industries, but the effort and income during that period were proportional. It was a blessing in disguise for him to come into contact with many people with excellent ideas and abilities, and the experience he learned was unmatched by others.
So it is not difficult for him to start a business in this world where making money is relatively easy.
The only decision you need to make is whether to stick with your old ways or venture into new areas.
The old business brings money and connections quickly, which can allow Ji Qian to leave the Ji family quickly and not be restricted by Ji Song; the new field...
He will probably lean towards financial technology as a new field, as this will overlap with the medical industry and provide Ji Qian with a large scientific research platform and research freedom for his future development.
He briefly explained this to Ansel, who then slammed the table and yelled at him.
"Why do you think about him in everything? Don't you have anything you want to do?"
Chi Ke spread his hands: "I just want money. The method of making money is not important. As long as I can make money, it's good. If I can help him by the way, why not?"
"Stop making excuses for yourself," Ansel sneered, "You're just a love-brained person!"
Chi Ke: “That’s it.”
It doesn't matter, I'm too lazy to change it.
Ansel covered his heart and said, "Dude, you are hopeless."
Chi Ke said nonchalantly: "Why are you considering switching jobs and working with me?"
"I knew you were here to recruit me." Ansel had expected this and said, "In fact, I could see your intention more or less before. To be honest, I am quite interested in the latter. If you hadn't told me your motivation for starting a business, I would have agreed without hesitation."
Chi Ke raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with the motive? Not great enough?"
"Brother, can you please have some shame?" Ansel was annoyed. "You are a love-brained person. What are you going to do in the future to play tricks on the princes for Daji? Am I going to become a part of your play of destroying the country?"
Chi Ke: "One of the protagonists of the story of lighting beacons to amuse the princes is Bao Si, but this story is not true either—"
Ansel: "Is that the point?"
Chi Ke sighed: "You can rest assured that this kind of thing will not happen. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Thinking of his great spirit of working instead of having sex when he just started dating, Ansel felt relieved: "I need some time to think about it. Can you come up with a draft plan by next week?"
Chi Ke calmly drank the juice: "Of course not, there is not enough time."
Ansel threatened: "I know you well, don't try to fool me with your incompetence."
Chi Ke: “There is more to life than just work.”
Ansel: “?”
Chi Ke: "We still need to fall in love."
Ansel: “…”
"Enough! Enough!" Ansel stood up and walked out angrily, wailing, "Who can give back the Chi Ke I just met at the beginning!"
After the door was closed, Chi Ke smiled and took out his phone to send a message to his assistant.
【k:/location/Please come pick me up at 2:30.】
I was just teasing Ansel, how could I really be in love with him?
He is very rational.
The phone dinged.
[The Great Gitzby: How about a concert at two o'clock? It's only an hour.]
Chi Ke: “Tsk.”
[k: /theater location/ Sorry, the schedule has changed. Please pick me up here at 4 o'clock. By the way, cancel the evening meeting and let everyone go back to rest early. We will have the meeting again tomorrow morning. ]
【The Great Gitzby: ddddd! 】
【K: Got it. See you at the theater entrance at 1:40. 】
…
At exactly four o'clock, Chi Ke got in his assistant's car and went to the detention center.
It was dusk when we came out. There were no lights on the roadside yet, and the clouds in the sky, burned red by the setting sun, warmed the surface of the river.
Chi Ke leaned against the car and looked at the scenery for a while, and by the way rejected two energetic college students who came over and asked for their WeChat accounts.
The assistant held his work phone in a bitter voice: "Boss Chi, Ms. Lu called again."
Chi Ke: "Silence, ignore it."
Ever since Chi Zhengbing was sent in, Lu Lijuan wanted to make a hundred phone calls a day.
Chi Ke was too lazy to think about the purpose of these calls. Anyway, Chi Yuanfan was living a normal life, so he simply ignored Lu Lijuan.
Xu Pei will probably be summoned soon, so the original owner has nothing to worry about.
The person who worries people the most right now is Leng Yunting.
Because of Xu Lemian's unilateral cold war, Leng Yunting has been in a bad mood recently.
Xu Lemian repeatedly proposed to break up, but was blocked by Leng Yunting's words: "You and Xingmian signed a three-year contract. If you leave now, can you afford the penalty? Also, since we are breaking up, I am not willing to pay for your sister's medical expenses. You have to find a way to handle it yourself. Of course, I can lend you money, and the interest will be calculated according to the bank. If you can't pay it back, I can give you a part-time job - serve me well."
Xu Lemian is a proud man, how could he tolerate such verbal insults?
This morning I proposed to transfer my sister to another hospital.
This made Ji Qian and Chi Ke very worried.
Xu Lemian's sister suddenly became critically ill the day before yesterday. She is now lying in the CCU of St. Huijia Hospital. Her condition is very bad. She is completely dependent on machines to survive and does not meet the conditions for transfer to another hospital.
Leng Yunting required them to complete the transfer within three days and not let anyone die. Even if Ji Qian was Hua Tuo, he would not be able to do it.
But one of them couldn't afford the money and the other was unwilling to pay. The hospital had no obligation to provide free treatment, and neither of them was sacred enough to save a stranger at their own expense.
What Ji Qian was annoyed about was that he didn’t want to send a life away with his own hands.
What bothered Chi Ke was that the survival rate of transferring to another hospital at this critical juncture was extremely low, and it was Xu Lemian’s sister. If someone exposed it, it would affect the reputation of the hospital and delay the sale price.
The two people had the same goal: to persuade the two epileptic men not to transfer to another hospital for the time being, at least until their condition stabilizes.
As he was thinking this, the assistant next to him said, "Boss Chi, Second Young Master Leng sent you a message, hoping that you would go to the villa now."
Chi Ke nodded: "Let's go."
The villa is not far from here and we will arrive there in a short while.
He got out of the car and found a familiar silver coupe not far ahead. The owner was half-heartedly closing the door. He turned around and saw Chi Ke, and stood up in surprise.
"Brother, why are you here too?"
Chi Ke looked at his old man's vest and flowered shorts with interest: "Is this how you dress in the summer?"
Apart from the first time we met, I haven't seen him yet.
Ji Qian: “…”
Ji Qian almost forgot what he was wearing and adjusted his vest awkwardly: "I don't usually do this. I was catching up on sleep in the office half an hour ago and didn't have time to change clothes."
You know, Chi Ke is coming too, so he has to get his hair done.
"Still handsome." Chi Ke patted his firm tendon muscles, "Let's go, doctor, it's time to go to work."
The doctor grabbed a handful of hair in pain and leaned over him: "When will this hard time end..."
Wait for you to leave the Ji family, wait for me to leave Zhenting.
Chi Ke pinched his nose and said, "It's almost there, just hold on a little longer."
The two walked to the door side by side, and the quarrel inside could be clearly heard.
"Xu Lemian, don't give up on me! Am I not good enough for you?!"
"What do you mean by good? When you asked me to take that TV series, didn't you consider my plan to study abroad? You and I both know why you asked me to take that script!"
"What are you complaining about? If it wasn't me, would you have gotten a script of this level? No, if it wasn't me who spent money to support you, how would you have had the chance to debut?"
"I'd rather not!"
"Okay! Now go tell the director that you don't want to act anymore and quit the entertainment industry!"
Chi Ke rang the doorbell, but no one answered.
Ji Qian raised his hand to enter the password, and just as he pushed open the door, a teacup flew straight into Chi Ke's eyes.
Ji Qian quickly blocked the attack and his forearm was hit with a loud bang.
Chi Ke's face darkened, and before he could get angry, Ji Qian next to him picked up the teacup and threw it back with a stern look on his face.
The glass hit the coffee table with a crackling sound and broke into pieces, successfully quieting the people on both sides of the coffee table.
Ji Qian smiled and said, "Also be careful when you're arguing."
The cup did not hit Chi Ke, but if a drop of water had splashed onto Chi Ke's face, he would have demolished the villa today.
"Come, let me see, which deity is injured today?"
The immortal sitting on the sofa stretched out his hand in an extremely indifferent manner, revealing a knife scar with his skin torn open. Even the Band-Aid could not stop the blood from flowing out.
Ji Qian: "Hiss, it hurts."
Leng Yunting: “.”
What the hell is hurting you?
"It needs stitches. How did you get hurt?" Ji Qian skillfully took out a medicine box from the cabinet next to him.
Leng Yunting said: "Why are there so many questions? Just bandage it if I ask you to."
"Okay." Ji Qian began to look for medicine, "Let's go into the bedroom."
Leng Yunting sneered: "Just deal with it here."
Ji Qian put on a mask and said, "Then take off your pants a little bit to get a tetanus shot."
Leng Yunting: “…”
To get tetanus, you just need to pull the waistband of your pants down a little, but it’s a bit unsightly for a boss to stick his butt out to get an injection, which doesn’t fit his character.
There were a crowd of onlookers present, and Leng Yunting couldn't bring himself to do that, so he strode into the bedroom.
As soon as Ji Qian left, the living room became cold.
Chi Ke heard the crying sound, looked over and said bluntly: "Transferring your sister to another hospital now is equivalent to giving up treatment. Of course, I don't mean to blackmail you morally. If you insist on transferring, please cooperate with us to sign the informed consent form."
Xu Lemian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red: "I don't want his money..."
"In fact, even if she is transferred to a public hospital, she won't save much money in her case." Her heart failure is at that level, and she is almost dead. She cannot live without the machine. "If you insist on transferring to another hospital, I will contact you tomorrow to make the arrangements."
Xu Lemian covered his face in confusion and murmured, "Chi Zhu, why did he do this to me? If he doesn't like me, why doesn't he let me go?"
Chi Ke calmly asked back: "What answer do you want to hear?"
Xu Lemian pursed his lips.
Chi Ke: "Because you are actually special to him."
"...Chi Zhu, please don't comfort me." Xu Lemian's ears couldn't help but turn red. He raised his head, but couldn't continue speaking.
Chi Ke had an expression as if it was none of his business, making it hard to tell whether what he just said was true or false.
Before Xu Lemian could savor it, Butler Wu beside him suddenly answered a phone call. His face was slightly serious, and he leaned over to Xu Lemian's ear and whispered a few words.
Xu Lemian's expression changed drastically. She rushed to the bedroom, opened the door, and cried freely, "Why did you attack my mother?!"
Leng Yunting was confused: "What?"
"If you have something to say, come to me. Why do you want to hurt my mother?" Xu Lemian shouted heartbreakingly, "Okay, you just want to sleep with me, right? I promise you, I will be your lover, and you let my mother and sister go."
Leng Yunting: “…”
Leng Yunting's eyelids trembled, and he looked at the person standing aside at the door, and gave him a look: [You did it? ]
Chi Ke raised the corner of his lip lightly: [Boss Leng, don't forget our agreement.]
Leng Yunting closed his eyes irritably, and when he opened them again, he looked at Xu Lemian with an almost cruel gaze, sneering: "You said to continue, so continue, and if you don't want to continue, then don't continue? You have to show me your sincerity, right?"
Xu Lemian bit his lower lip in humiliation, walked over slowly, and knelt on the ground.
The next second, Leng Yunting grabbed his chin with his intact hand and kissed him hard!
“Hmm!”
Xu Lemian tried to push him away to no avail, so she passively stuck out her tongue and entangled with him as if no one was around.
Ji Qian, who was closest and watching the movie in high definition: "..."
Ji Qian looked at Chi Ke blankly.
Chi Ke spread his hands, unable to help.
Ji Qian was also convinced. He was sweating profusely and hurriedly speeded up his movements.
Seeing that Xu Lemian's clothes were half open, he packed up his things and took off his gloves as if relieved, then rushed out with Chi Ke in three or two steps, not forgetting to close the door.
"No, ah! No, is there something wrong?" Ji Qian didn't understand, very much didn't understand, "Do you have any special hobbies? Do you like to do these things in front of others?"
Chi Ke was chatting with the private detective who was responsible for monitoring Xu Pei. Hearing this, he said without thinking: "After all, it's this kind of book. It's already restrained."
"This kind of book?" Ji Qian asked, "What kind of book is this?"
Chi Ke: “…”
Tsk.
Ji Qian narrowed his eyes and suddenly had an unbelievable guess: "We watched different versions... You didn't watch the 18+ version, did you?!"
Chi Ke: “.”
"No, don't think about it." It was just a vulgar pornographic novel with no sexual tension, not even 18+. He denied it without any psychological burden, "It's just a little more detailed description than yours."
Ji Qian rarely doubted him: "I have little education, don't lie to me."
"How could I lie to you?" Chi Ke coaxed, "Come to think of it, do you really want to live with me?"
Ji Qian was depressed when he mentioned this: "Gradual progress, I know gradual progress."
"I'll give you a chance to work hard in a while." As fate would have it, Chi Ke finally said this.
After hearing this, Ji Qian felt as if the blood in his body began to flow. In order to get this opportunity to work hard, he went to Chi Ke every few days for the next period of time, both to send him to and from get off work and to bring him afternoon tea. I don't know where a doctor could squeeze out so much time.
Finally, on an afternoon filled with the noisy chirping of cicadas, Ji Qian received Chi Ke's invitation.
The specific purpose of the invitation was not stated, but Ji Qian arrived downstairs of their community early that day to wait for someone.
He was in a particularly good mood today. He spent two hours getting ready before going out. He carefully selected a black T-shirt to match with a sleeveless hooded vest, and a pair of short shorts. He wore shiny accessories on his neck, wrists and fingers, looking so fashionable that he could be attacked by thieves on the streets of Paris.
Fortunately, our peaceful and prosperous motherland has a happy public security.
He played a game of chess with an old man on the street, helped an old lady cross the road, bought a balloon for a crying child, and even when a stray dog on the street barked at him, he just gently warned:
"If you ask me to take you to get sterilized again~"
The dog was like a spirit, running very fast with its tail between its legs.
Ji Qian leaned against the Urus, holding a rose in one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket. He nodded slightly and pushed the light brown sunglasses on his head up to the bridge of his nose.
This was the flashy scene that Chi Ke saw when he went out.
The security guard had known them since the last car accident. Seeing this, he pulled Chi Ke and praised his friend for his great style.
Chi Ke: “…”
"Thank you." Chi Ke walked to Ji Qian helplessly. Because he was wearing contact lenses today, he couldn't see as clearly as usual. So the closer he got, the clearer he could see the various small decorations and tricks on this man's outfit. "Are we going to watch a fashion show next?"
"You don't have to dress up to attend a fashion show. It's more important to see you." Ji Qian put the flower in his hand. "How does the saying go? A wife's beauty is her husband's glory."
Chi Ke was amused by him: "Okay, then you will sit in the passenger seat today and be responsible for looking as beautiful as a flower."
"You didn't deny the second half of the sentence, so you agreed, right? You must have, right?" Ji Qian put on a triumphant gesture and kicked the tire, "Honey, open the car door for me."
It turns out that it will be bright if there is some sunshine.
Chi Ke held the bouquet of roses that were still dripping with water in one hand, opened the car door with his backhand, and raised his eyebrows: "Please come in, my wife."
Ji Qian was hit by the car base and turned to look at him.
Chi Ke pushed the man in with one hand, placed the rose on his lap, and closed the door neatly.
Ji Qian hurried to lower the car window, but Chi Ke, who had expected this, hooked his sunglasses away. With a twist of his ring finger, he changed the direction of the sunglasses and hung them on the bridge of his nose.
Watching him turn around and walk around the front of the car in a very cool manner, Ji Qian, who was defeated, bit his back teeth hard. He caught a glimpse of a figure wandering at the entrance of the community for more than half an hour in the rearview mirror. He frowned slightly, then looked at the person who had just got on the car with a smile.
"Honey, don't you think it's better for couples to have fewer secrets?"
When Chi Ke got into the car, his eyes inadvertently lingered on the right for a second longer. He didn't believe that the man didn't notice the sneaky figure of the dog behind him.
No response means you know the situation.
He also said that he didn't plan to tell him about this.
Chi Ke hummed, "Do you have any secrets to tell me?"
Ji Qian laughed with gritted teeth: "I, don’t, have any."
"That's good." Chi Ke threw his phone to him, "Fasten your seat belts, and let's go."
Ji Qian held the phone as if it were a hot potato.
I wanted to open it and take a look, but I was afraid that he would think I was being too nosy, checking my phone suspiciously even though we were in a relationship...
Ji Qian was struggling all the way.
When I got off the car, I saw that this was my home.
"Go back to my house for a date?"
"I'm not going to your house," Chi Ke raised his hand from a distance, and the salesperson at the gate of the community immediately trotted over with a bright smile on his face, "I'm going to hand over the house."
Ji Qian: “?”
He followed the salesperson to the reception room in amazement, watched in amazement as Chi Ke signed the contract and got the certificate without blinking, and finally came to the top floor of the apartment building where he lived in amazement and walked to the other side of the elevator.
Chi Ke threw the property certificate into his hand and said frankly, "Even if we live together in the future, I must have a place that is completely my own and I can go to it at any time. Otherwise, I will feel insecure and empty. You can understand this as a lack of security. This is my own problem and it cannot be changed overnight. So I'm sorry, I can't live in your house with peace of mind until I have complete personal space."
"I may need some completely closed-off time alone from time to time. I know you'll be worried, so I bought a house next door so that you can find me as soon as possible and I can come back as soon as possible."
"I will move here after the renovation is completed. You can live anywhere during the weekdays. Before that, I can come to see you or you can come to see me during holidays and weekends. You can also stay in a hotel or travel if you want."
He took off his sunglasses, folded the temples, and hung them on Ji Qian's collar. There was no teasing or carelessness in his clear gray eyes, and he was serious for a rare time: "Can you accept this step-by-step approach?"
The bare house was filled with sunlight from all sides, and the scorching August sun made the air inside scorching hot.
The occasional geometric shadows could not accommodate two adult men, so they had to stand in the sun and enjoy the scorching heat of midsummer.
There are no cicadas chirping here, but you can hear the sound of ice soda being opened in the summer.
Ji Qian lowered his head, his desire lingering on the rosy lips, but finally his breath fell on the pair of eyes that looked the most heartless.
He curled up the corners of his lips, as if he had stolen a cool mint candy: "That's enough."
