end of love

Chapter 18 18

Li Shuyi stayed in the office until seven o'clock in the evening.He hadn't rested for two full days and one night, and he didn't eat much. It was because his eyes could no longer see the figures on the report that he stopped working.

He closed his eyes and rested in the car as the driver drove him back.He obviously didn't fall asleep, but when he arrived, the driver called him several times before waking him up. His body was so exhausted that he couldn't control his brain.

Uncle Wu was overjoyed when he saw him enter the door, he thought Li Shuyi would never come back.But before the smile lasted for a few seconds, his brows were tightly wrinkled.

Li Shuyi didn't even bother to take off his coat, and slowly sat on the sofa with his aching stomach, and said to Uncle Wu, "You ask someone to make me some white porridge, don't put anything in there."

Uncle Wu responded and poured him another cup of warm water. Li Shuyi nodded, "I'm sorry."

Uncle Wu felt Li Shuyi's politeness and alienation tense, knowing that the intimacy and trust that had been built with great difficulty over the years were gone.But what could he say, Li Shuyi said so, but because the current environment made him feel insecure, he could only erect a high wall to isolate himself.

Uncle Wu went to the kitchen, Li Shuyi looked around, but Bai Jing and Ning Yue were not there.

Presumably the two went out together.

He sat in the spacious and bright living room, and he could see the traces of his life here everywhere. He used to feel at ease, but now he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and every minute and every second was a torment.

Uncle Wu quickly brought the porridge, and asked him if he would like to add some appetizing side dishes.Li Shuyi shook his head, picked up the spoon with his uninjured hand and started to drink the porridge.

"Be careful it's hot." Uncle Wu warned from the side.

At this time, a person came in from outside the door, holding several lists in his hand, and said to Uncle Wu, "Just take a look, everything is almost done, and there are still some big items that will be shipped over tomorrow morning."

Uncle Wu glanced at Li Shuyi very quickly, seeing that he wasn't paying attention, he turned slightly to avoid Li Shuyi and whispered to the man, "You wait for me outside."

The man was a little confused, but hurried out in response.

When he walked away, Li Shuyi suddenly said: "You don't have to worry about me, it's all over now, there is nothing I can't accept."

Uncle Wu sighed and said nothing, Li Shuyi only drank half a bowl of porridge and put the bowl away and went upstairs.

On the way, he suddenly received a call, and an old friend of his over there said, "Shuyi, you often have a child by your side, named Jin Yan, right?"

Li Shuyi stopped and said, "Yes."

"Today he went to my place for dinner and made a fuss, beating the second young master of Director Kong's family. I only found out after hearing from the people below. Let me give you some breath."

Li Shuyi frowned, and then continued: "I don't know the details, you'd better ask yourself."

"Okay, I see. Thanks."

"What are you being polite about?"

After Li Shuyi hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Jin Yan's number, and there was a low voice, and Li Shuyi only said one sentence: "Come to my office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Jin Yan is not a person who likes to cause trouble, he has a particularly good personality, and he has never even lost his temper in his normal life.If he hit someone, the other party must have provoked him first, and most of it was related to Bai Hao.But Li Shuyi is too tired right now, and he can't play tricks with others, no matter how big it is, he will have to wait until tomorrow to deal with it.

I thought that I would be able to fall asleep soon after such extreme exhaustion, but when Li Shuyi was lying on the bed, the memories that had been suppressed by work resurfaced in his mind.

He did not dare to take sleeping pills, because he had been taking sleeping pills in large doses for a long time and was warned by the doctor not to take them unless it was absolutely necessary.Li Shuyi could only close his eyes tightly, constantly conduct psychological counseling by himself, and force himself to think of something that can calm his emotions.

As time passed, Li Shuyi's consciousness fell into chaos. He vaguely heard a sound, and he didn't even know whether he was asleep or awake.

"Yiyi..." The voice became more and more clear, and Li Shuyi heard someone calling his name.

"Look at the clothes your father bought for you, do you like them?"

"Oh my brother! Why do boys still wear such bright colors when they grow up!"

"Oh... If you don't like it, then don't want it."

Li Shuyi was anxious to answer in his sleep, but before he could speak, someone broke down and cried in his ear the next second.

"Calligraphy..."

"Shuyi, come back quickly...something happened at home, come back quickly..."

The sound seemed to trigger something. Li Shuyi began to tremble, his brows were tightly frowned, a layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead, and the sound of breathing in his nasal cavity was short and rapid.

The scene in front of him became scarlet, and Jiang Manqing lay on the ground and shouted at him with a ferocious face: "Li Shuyi, you go to die! Why don't you go to death! Why don't you go to death!"

Li Shuyi panted heavily with his mouth open, his hands scratching at his sides, his whole body convulsed as if he was enduring some extreme pain.

"Li Shuyi!"

Someone was calling his name anxiously, and there was a sharp pain in the crowd. Li Shuyi seemed to be dragged out of the water, and the voice in his ear became clear instantly.

He opened his eyes, first he saw the pitch-black ceiling, and it took him a long time to roll his eyes slowly, then he saw the person kneeling beside the bed looking down at him.

The lights in the room were not turned on, and Li Shuyi's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the darkness, and he couldn't see the facial features and expressions of this person clearly.

But the sound, the breath, the taste.He knew it was Bai Jing.

Li Shuyi reached out and hugged Bai Jing's neck.The moment he stretched out his hand, Bai Jing also supported his waist and hugged him into his arms, and kept stroking the cool and sweaty skin on the back of his neck with one hand.

Every minute and every second, Li Shuyi, who still had fear and panic on his face, was clinging closer to Bai Jing, wishing to embed himself into the other person's body, as if only in this way was he safe and sound. It was like an instinct that had been carved into the flesh and blood of his body.

I don't know how long it took before Li Shuyi's breathing calmed down a little bit.His reason slowly came back, and after he realized what he was doing, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.Bai Jing's hot body temperature came from the place where the two were touching, Li Shuyi closed his eyes, and finally let go of his hands and pushed Bai Jing away.

What a pain.

How reluctant.

How much I want to humbly beg Bai Jing to hug him more.

But just think of how disgusted Bai Jing will be when he is holding him, and think of those warm hands that may have hugged and caressed someone just now...

Li Shuyi's heart shrank into a ball in pain.

He reached out to turn on the wall lamp, and saw Bai Jing in pajamas.Wiping off the sweat from his face again, he said in a calm voice: "Sorry, I disturbed you." After speaking, he got out of bed, and slowly walked into the bathroom under Bai Jing's unclear gaze.

Li Shuyi turned on the tap and flushed his face with cold water. He was a little impatient, and the water droplets fell down his cheeks, and soon wet his collar.He pulled the towel to wipe his face, and when he raised his head, he found Bai Jing standing by the door, and Li Shuyi subconsciously hid his injured hand by his side.

Bai Jing glanced at him, walked over without saying a word, took the towel in his hand, wrung it dry and wiped off the water from his neck.

Li Shuyi was stunned.

Bai Jing asked him, "What happened to the injury on your hand?"

It took Li Shuyi a long time to answer: "I accidentally knocked on it."

Bai Jing didn't expose his obvious lie.He dragged Li Shuyi out of the bathroom, found a new pajamas, and walked up to Li Shuyi and unbuttoned him.

Li Shuyi stepped back to avoid his movements, Bai Jing clasped his waist, and pulled down his pajamas, revealing Li Shuyi's thin and fair body.

The hideous scar left by the gunshot wound can be clearly seen under the light, but at this moment, there is an inexplicable sense of irony.Bai Jing avoided his eyes and changed into pajamas for Li Shuyi, who was unable to move after his hand injury.

Li Shuyi looked at Bai Jing silently, thinking sadly, even if it was Bai Jing's little tenderness born of pity for him, he couldn't bear to refuse.

The two returned to the bed, Li Shuyi's back was facing Bai Jing, with a distance between the two of them.

Bai Jing approached and hugged him into his arms, Li Shuyi's body froze, Bai Jing only whispered in his ear: "Go to sleep."

Listening to the steady breathing behind him, Li Shuyi relaxed his body and slowly closed his eyes.

He thinks that Bai Jing knows it, no matter how indifferent he pretends to be, or how high he rejects others thousands of miles away, Bai Jing knows how much he loves and needs him.

It's just that this kind of love and need is just a burden that can be discarded at any time.
