Warm water

On the way to chase Ji Yan, Lu Yichen was in a mess, because Zhou Ke was right, the shoes were indeed fake.

He bought a pair of fake shoes for Ji Yan.

In the afternoon, the sun was extremely hot in the sky, Lu Yichen ran in big strides, he had never run so fast before.Sweat wet his hair and clothes, but Lu Yichen's heart felt cold.

Just now, Ji Yan's cold eyes were replayed in his mind over and over again, so that he could not feel the heat even in the scorching summer.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lu Yichen caught up with that person.

Ji Yan's thin figure dangled on the road, and his steps seemed unusually heavy.

Lu Yichen's heart tightened, he stretched out his hand to grab Ji Yan, panting, "Brother Yan."

Ji Yan was absent-minded, and only recovered after being called out by Lu Yichen.He turned around slowly, looked at Lu Yichen, raised his eyebrows, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Yan, are you... angry?" Lu Yichen looked at Ji Yan without much expression on his face, neither joy nor anger.

"No, why am I angry?" Ji Yan smiled and bent down slightly.

Lu Yichen heaved a sigh of relief, showing a childlike smile, "Brother Yan, it's great that you're not angry, the matter of the shoes is actually..." The voice stopped abruptly, and Lu Yichen saw Ji Yan take off the shoes on his feet.

Ji Yan took off his shoes, carried the pair of objects, and slowly straightened his waist.He stuffed the shoes in his hand to Lu Yichen, and said with a smile, "You know? This is the first time I wear fake shoes."

Lu Yichen held the shoes dully, looked at Ji Yan with a sneer, turned around and walked forward.He was barefoot, step by step, stepping on the sandy ground, but his back was so stubborn.

Ji Yan was angry, even though he was smiling, he was still angry.

Lu Yichen caught up with Ji Yan, and when he reached out to grab the man again, he was thrown away by him.

"Brother Yan, put on your shoes, how painful it is to step on the ground!"

"I don't wear fake shoes." Ji Yan continued to walk forward.

Lu Yichen stared at Ji Yan's red feet, brother Yan's feet are very beautiful, he likes to play with them.The same goes for the legs, white and smooth, with blue blood vessels clearly visible after strenuous exercise.

Thinking of this, Lu Yichen's eyes became a little strange. He strode forward and hugged Ji Yan in his arms, rubbed his head on Ji Yan's neck, and softened his tone, "Brother Yan, I was wrong."

Every time Ji Yan gets angry, Lu Yichen uses this method to coax him.

But this time it seems to be different.

Ji Yan touched Lu Yichen's head, and said softly: "Okay, let go, you don't have to admit your mistake, I'm not angry."

"Really?" Lu Yichen knelt down and held Ji Yan's ankle, "Brother Yan, let me put your shoes on."

Ji Yan looked down at Lu Yichen, the young man was sweating profusely, with a very sincere expression.Seeing that innocent and harmless face made Ji Yan's heart shudder.But he still broke away from Lu Yichen's hand, kicked off the pair of shoes, took two steps back, "I told you, I won't wear them."

He turned around and sighed softly, why is it that other people's family is a little milk dog, while his own is just a little silly dog?Oh, no, little scumbag.

Lu Yichen lowered his head, with grievances on his face, he realized that Brother Yan was really angry.For a moment, he was suddenly at a loss.

Ji Yan continued to walk forward, fortunately, he was on a sandy road instead of an asphalt road, otherwise the soles of his feet would definitely be roasted.It's not that he is not afraid of pain, whether it's the heat on the ground or the hard stone, everything hurts, but none of them are as painful as the pain in his heart.

As long as a person lives, as long as he puts on those shoes, he will only feel humiliated and embarrassed.

Xia Jinian was wearing the genuine one, and he was wearing the counterfeit one, and it was a gift from the same person.The deep meaning in it can be understood without opening his mouth, and he understands it.

Why did he ask Lu Yichen to buy him the same style of shoes as Xia Jinian?He himself knew the answer.Want to compare, jealous, but also unbalanced.If it wasn't for Xia Jinian to study abroad, how could Lu Yichen be with him?He is unbalanced, too unbalanced, he has never felt inferior to anyone before, he is rich, he looks handsome in the mouth of a little girl, and has won many international culinary awards in his 20s, he feels that he is His grades are among the best among his peers.

But after meeting Xia Ji, everything changed.

Xia Ji Nian is younger than himself, good looking, educated and personable, and won the music award softly.It's just these things that will only make Ji Yan feel a little bit inferior. After all, he is a single parent, his family is an upstart, and he has no education.It was Lu Yichen who really made him unbalanced, and Xia Jinian didn't want to dump Lu Yichen on him.

It was just that, which made him feel that he was inferior to others.So he is not reconciled, he wants Lu Yichen to love and pamper him more, and he also wants Lu Yichen to forget Xia Jinian from his heart, only in this way can he be balanced.In the same way, whatever Lu Yichen gave Xia Ji Nian, he also wanted the same, or better.

Knowing that Lu Yichen has no money, and he can't afford better ones, the same is okay.But it turned out that Lu Yichen sent a pair of fake ones.

This sense of gap and anger made Ji Yan feel uncomfortable all over, he wanted to vent but had no outlet.He wanted to have a big fight with Lu Yichen, but the fight was futile.

Holding two pairs of shoes, Lu Yichen came to Ji Yan out of breath, and begged, "Brother Yan, listen to my explanation."

"Explain." Ji Yan's tone didn't fluctuate much, and he continued walking.

Since he wants to explain, let him explain. Only after listening to the explanation can he be more clear about his thoughts.

"I...I don't have the money to buy you the real ones, and you know I don't have any money, so I thought about buying you...buy a pair of fake ones..." Lu Yichen lowered his head, "I want to wait until I make money. I'm really buying it for you... I have already contacted the place where I worked today, so I can't talk back."

"Well, well, I understand." Ji Yan lowered his eyes, and then said: "Don't persuade me to wear shoes, just be quiet for a while."

"Brother Yan..."

Ji Yan ignored Lu Yichen and fell silent.He believed Lu Yichen's explanation just now, but should he be forgiven in this way?Is it okay if someone says I'm sorry, you have to reply?

For three years, Lu Yichen's EQ has not improved at all.When buying shoes, can't he think that this is a kind of humiliation?Ji Yan is tired. He used to think that he could teach him to grow up, but now it seems impossible.

Crossing the path, Ji Yan came to a shoe store regardless of the strange eyes of passers-by.

After a flash of surprise flashed in the waiter's eyes, he quickly regained his composure, and received the two of them very politely.

Ji Yan picked out a pair of 5000 yuan sneakers, which fit well and are comfortable to wear.

"Does it look good?" Ji Yan raised his eyes to look at the sullen Lu Yichen.

"nice."

"Then you pay for me."

Lu Yichen's Adam's apple twitched, and his expression was troubled.

He is really cash-strapped.

Not even 1000 yuan.

Ji Yan raised his eyebrows, he already knew this was the case.Then he took out his card and bought the pair of shoes, the first time he had bought such expensive shoes in three years.

He fell out with his family because of Lu Yichen, and the family's financial chain was broken long ago.And because of him, she gave up the invitation letter of the five-star hotel, and huddled with him in a small house outside the urban area, and stopped spending money lavishly, and opened a small shop that was not a booming business.

Now that I think about it, I am so stupid. I am so stupid to give up my career for love.

On the way back, the two of them were so quiet.

After a long time, Lu Yichen stammered and said: "Yan... Brother Yan, I will let you live the life you want in the future."

"You can't even afford a pair of shoes, what are you talking about?" Ji Yan stopped and looked directly at Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen stopped talking, his face turned pale, his eyes were full of grievances, and his fragile body would shatter when touched.

Ji Yan knew that his words had hit Lu Yichen.

In fact, he didn't want to do this, he didn't want to see this person sad, he wanted to hold him in the palm of his hand all the time.

But he couldn't.

The long-term damage has accumulated to a certain extent, and it will be difficult to recover.

"Did you know?" Ji Yan said, "The night of our first time, you called Xia Jinian by name."

Lu Yichen's eyes widened in shock.

Ji Yan said again: "I have remembered this matter for three years."

"Brother Yan, I don't know. I drank too much, I don't know anything." Lu Yichen hurriedly hugged Ji Yan, but Ji Yan pushed him away, "We broke up, this time what I said is true."
