Extra: Friendship Sprouting
Huo Beiyan's apartment.
It is spacious and luxurious, yet exudes the loneliness of a young man living alone.
The private doctor was skillfully treating Ji Linshen's gunshot wound in the abdomen.
Disinfection, hemostasis, suturing... every procedure is accompanied by sharp pain.
Ji Linshen gritted his teeth, his forehead covered with cold sweat, but he said nothing. Only his clenched fists and slightly trembling body revealed his pain.
Huo Beiyan was leaning against a sofa not far away, playing with a metal lighter in his hand.
His eyes never left Ji Linshen, and there was undisguised scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes.
He had just asked someone to quickly check Ji Linshen's background.
After the doctor treated the wound, he packed up his equipment and left.
They were the only two left in the room.
Huo Beiyan snapped the lighter shut and threw it on the coffee table.
He picked up the few thin pages of information that the butler had just handed over and quickly scanned them.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Ji Linshen, who was leaning on the sofa with a pale face but trying hard to hold on. He smiled with a playful look on his face, "Tsk, that poor fellow from the Ji family?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Linshen suddenly raised his eyes.
The pair of eyes that had dimmed slightly due to blood loss suddenly burst into a sharp cold light.
He glanced at Huo Beiyan coldly and said in a hoarse voice: "Put away the...sympathy in your eyes." Every word was filled with an inviolable coldness.
Huo Beiyan met his cold gaze, but instead of getting angry, he chuckled.
He casually threw the information back onto the coffee table, leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees, his eyes filled with undisguised interest: "Sympathy?"
He shook his head and said frankly: "I didn't."
He paused, his eyes becoming sharper. "I'm just curious. How could a poor fellow, treated like trash by his family, have the guts and the skills to take down the Black Snake boss?"
Ji Lin looked at him in silence without answering.
Ji Xuelin and Ji Bochang, father and son, want to seize the rights to the underground transactions in Florence.
After learning that the other party liked male homosexuality, especially fair-skinned underage boys, she decided to exchange herself for him.
It’s a pity that Ji Linshen has never been a toy to be manipulated by others.
Seeing that he remained silent, Huo Beiyan sneered, "Let me guess, that idiot fell for you, didn't he? He tried to do something illegal, but you shot him dead?"
He was also harassed at the beginning, by that perverted idiot.
Ji Linshen didn't say anything.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Thank you... for saving me."
He looked directly at Huo Beiyan: "If I can... or leave Florence, I will definitely repay you."
Huo Beiyan looked at the determination in his eyes and the smile on his lips deepened.
He leaned back into the sofa, his posture becoming lazy again, and his voice was casual like a teenager: "I look forward to...your return."
He looked around the empty living room and his eyes fell on Ji Linshen: "Stay here. Anyway, I'm alone and it's quite boring."
Ji Linshen looked into Huo Beiyan's careless eyes and was silent for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?"
Huo Beiyan stared at him for a few seconds and smiled: "Aren't you afraid of falling into the tiger's mouth?"
Their eyes met in the air, and no one spoke.
It was the same scent, both of them smelled it.
"Are you hungry? I'm a great cook at cooking instant noodles." Huo Beiyan looked away and spoke with a smile.
Ji Linshen lay on the sofa: "Just give instant noodles to the injured?"
"Do you want the top-of-the-line luxury version?" Huo Beiyan said as he stood up.
"How top-of-the-line?"
"The top-notch one with anti-inflammatory medicine."
Ji Linshen closed his eyes: "This is your territory, do I have the right to choose?"
"Of course not." Huo Beiyan walked to the open kitchen and took out instant noodles: "At worst, don't give me the right to choose when I come to your place in the future."
"My territory..." Ji Linshen laughed at himself: "How can someone who doesn't even have a bed have a territory?"
"If you don't have it, just grab it. If you grab it, you will have it, right?" Huo Beiyan looked up at Ji Linshen: "Just ask if you need help. Life here is too boring. We need some fun."
"Why help me?"
Huo Beiyan paused and looked at Ji Linshen again: "Maybe, because you are as good-looking as me."
Ji Linshen closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing him pretending to be dead, Huo Beiyan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The aroma of instant noodles lingered silently in the air, and the friendship between the two quietly took root.
In the misty heat, they are silently buried in the soil of each other's lives.
