Chapter 112 Ji Linshen, can you leave it to me?
The crystal chandelier cast a warm yellow glow in the living room. Lu Shiman curled up in the corner of the leather sofa, crying and trembling all over.
"Be good, let's change positions." He sighed softly, bent his knees and sank into the sofa, holding the person up by his knees and sitting him on his lap.
The broken sobs tore at the air intermittently until the voice became hoarse and out of tune, and the thin shoulders continued to rise and fall with the sobs.
There were large dark water marks on the front of Ji Linshen's shirt. His palms were always protecting the back of her neck, and his knuckles were blue and white due to maintaining a bent-over posture for a long time.
Outside the window, the night spreads through the gauze curtains.
Ji Linshen used his thumb to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and found that the skin there had been rubbed red.
When the sobbing gradually weakened into intermittent sobs, Lu Shiman suddenly buried her face in his shoulder and rubbed it hard.
After venting her emotions, she hid her true self again.
"I'm hungry." A voice with a heavy nasal tone sounded muffled in his chest.
Lu Shiman sniffed, picked up Ji Linshen's tie and wiped his nose.
Ignoring her actions, Ji Linshen picked up his phone and planned to ask the kitchen to make some midnight snacks.
"I want to go out for hotpot." The voice was hoarse and nasal.
"Okay, go take a hot bath and I'll take you out to eat, okay?" Ji Linshen said as he took off his tie and stuffed it into her hand: "Take it and wipe it."
Lu Shiman sniffed again and tightened his tie: "Who uses a tie to insert it?"
Ji Linshen rubbed her head: "You can use whatever you want to wipe it with. Go take a shower and I'll get you some clothes."
Lu Shiman got up from his arms, lowered her head and said shyly: "Ji Linshen~"
"Um?"
"Can you please forget what happened today?" Lu Shiman was embarrassed. This was the first time he looked like this in front of others.
This had never happened before, I cried my eyes out.
"Everything else can be forgotten, but the thing about lying to me..." Ji Linshen stood up, reached out and pinched her earlobe and twisted it lightly: "It's not that easy to fool."
"That pair..."
Ji Linshen pressed his fingers against her lips: "Don't say those three words again, never again."
"Lu Shiman, delete the word sorry from your mind."
Lu Shiman lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and reached out to hook his pants: "Forget about the things I lied to you and blame it on Xiao Ji."
The familiar words of the tiger and wolf made Ji Linshen smile helplessly, reaching out and patting her butt lightly: "Go take a shower quickly."
Lu Shiman walked up to Ji Linshen and hugged him. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, saying in a whisper: "Thank you~"
Ji Linshen's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes followed her closely until she entered the bathroom.
The frosted glass in the bathroom gradually became covered with white mist, and the sound of the shower could be heard faintly.
He went to the cloakroom to get her some clean clothes, and asked the maid to make some cold prevention powder and bring it up.
The hot air in the bathroom dyed his skin red all over. Lu Shiman suddenly opened his five fingers and pressed them on the foggy mirror.
In the hazy outline emerging from the winding water marks, the eyes were swollen like a sad frog.
The image of Ji Linshen's gentle and comforting face emerged in my mind, and my cheeks felt slightly hot.
The aroma of shower gel wrapped in water mist spread in the bathroom, but it couldn't cover up the increasingly deafening roar in my chest.
The sound of my heartbeat penetrated the water curtain, accelerating wildly without restraint.
Ji Linshen put his clothes into the bathroom. When the sound of water stopped, he picked up the towel and opened the shower door.
Lu Shiman covered her key parts with both hands: "Ji Linshen! I'm taking a shower, are you polite?"
Ji Linshen bent his fingers and knocked on the glass door a few times. After swallowing, he said in a hoarse voice: "I knocked on the door."
Lu Shiman tilted his head slightly: "???"
Seeing her confused expression, Ji Linshen couldn't help but feel a little funny. It turns out that making the other person confused feels so good?
He walked over, wrapped her in a bath towel, and wiped the water off her body bit by bit.
"I...I can do it myself. I'll feel the heat later and I won't even eat hot pot." Lu Shiman grabbed the towel and pushed Ji Linshen out of the shower: "Eat you."
"Both you and I can eat the hot pot. Put your clothes aside. Put them on and come out." Ji Linshen didn't stay for long and turned to leave the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ji Linshen picked up the cup, took a sip to test the water temperature, and when he saw that it was almost hot, he handed it to Lu Shiman: "Drink it."
"What is it?" Lu Shiman took the cup. The smell of medicine made her face wrinkle. "Why take medicine if you are not sick?"
"Prevent colds." Ji Lin glared at her, his eyes oppressive.
After being looked at by Ji Linshen like this, he paused as he was about to put down the cup, frowned and drank the powder in the cup.
"I'm in very good physical condition." Lu Shiman stuffed the cup into his hand and walked towards the door. "I will never get sick. If I get sick, I'll be a dog."
Ji Linshen followed her, and when they reached the door, he turned back to get a scarf for her.
The hot pot restaurant was bustling with people, and the air was filled with the spicy and fragrant aroma.
Lu Shiman ordered an extra spicy hot pot base and ate it with tears and snot.
Ji Linshen didn't eat much. He was helping her wash the meat, pour water, and pass her tissues the whole time.
"Ji Linshen." She raised her eyes to look at him, the steam rising from the hot pot blurred his face.
"What else do you want to eat?" Ji Linshen thought she wanted more dishes, so he immediately picked up the ordering tablet and handed it to her.
Lu Shiman shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Can you give me the special medicine project that you want to cooperate with Fourth Brother on?"
"I don't mean to interfere. I'm here to persuade Fourth Brother to agree to cooperate with you, okay?"
Ji Linshen put down his chopsticks, stared at her for a while, and said seriously: "Lu Shiman, don't have any psychological burden."
"You don't need to do anything about this. Huo Beiyan is incompetent, it has nothing to do with you. Don't take all the problems on yourself."
"But I want to try, Ji Linshen, please let me try."
She couldn't rest easy if she didn't do something about it.
Lu Shiman suddenly grabbed his wrist, which was hanging in the air: "Ji Linshen, leave it to me, okay? I need this outlet."
The glass turntable reflected the straight lines of her back, like a bow stretched to the limit. "Let me pull out the thorn stuck in my throat, okay?"
Ji Linshen clasped her trembling fingertips with his backhand, stared at her for a long time, and finally compromised: "Okay, but don't force yourself. It doesn't matter if you can't do it."
He paused and said, "Lu Shiman, you have the highest priority, nothing else matters."
The hot pot was boiling, and the steam filled her vision, even misting Lu Shiman's eyes. She let go and lowered her head, scooping in the pot with her chopsticks: "I can't find the tripe."
"I'll re-scald it for you. If I pick it up now, it'll become a rag."
"Ji Linshen."
Ji Linshen raised his eyes to look at her and asked silently.
Lu Shiman chuckled and said, "You look like my dad. This is how I imagine my dad to be."
Ji Linshen's expression changed from confusion, to shock, and then to something indescribable.
