Gardenia ABO

A summer rain, intermittently from morning to night.

In the apartment kitchen, the beef was simmering slowly, and Ji Mu took the time to add the seasoning.The beef has been stewed until soft, and the tendon melts in the mouth. It is even more delicious after being sliced ​​for a while. Put it together with the hot noodle soup, sprinkle with chopped green onion and pepper, and the taste is delicious.

There are washed green vegetables on the cutting board, and a bunch of dried noodles in the bowl next to it.

Ji Mu looked at the time, everything was ready, just waiting for Gu Yuanchen to arrive home.

Tomorrow he will return to country H, tonight is a rare time for them to have dinner together.In order to wait for Gu Yuanchen, Ji Mu took some biscuits to pad his stomach.

In the meantime, he contacted Han Sen again, but the answer he got was still that he didn't know Ji Feng's whereabouts.Even Ji Feng didn't go to Ji's company for two days.The same goes for Zhang Yan, whose whereabouts are unknown.Currently the company is managed by Ji Feng's elder brother, Ji Mu's uncle Ji Yuanshan.

Ji Yuanshan has always been at odds with Ji Feng, even Yuan Limei.If Ji Feng was really in poor health, with Yuan Limei's temperament, he would never let Ji Yuanshan take charge of the company.

For this reason, Han Sen went to the villa where Ji Feng and Zhang Yan lived together, and found that none of them came back in the past two days.Moreover, the villa was cold, and even the servants were transferred away.

Not only that, Yuan Limei went to a company meeting this morning.Anyway, she is also Ji Feng's serious wife and has shares in this company.Although usually because of Ji Feng, she rarely went to the company, but when something really happened, she still had some right to speak.

It's just because Ji Feng didn't want the Yuan family to intervene too much in the Ji family's affairs, so she kept staying behind the scenes.

The Yuan family is not considered a small family in country H, but the funny thing is that after Sui Qiu divorced, no one was willing to help her.They all chose Yuan Limei, chose the side that benefited, and abandoned the useless Suiqiu.Fortunately, Ji Feng is insatiable, and the Yuan family has been dragged to death by him for more than 20 years.

"There must be an accident in the Ji family. My people saw Yuan Limei and Ji Yuanshan communicating. Xiao Mu, just to be on the safe side, you shouldn't come back tomorrow." Han Sen reminded, "Your status is embarrassing, no matter what happened to the Ji family , It’s useless for you to come back.”

"Yuan Limei won't do anything to me blatantly. Besides, if something happens to Ji Feng, it doesn't matter where I am." Ji Mu insisted on going back, otherwise his heart will always hang in the air, and that's not an option.

The clock on the wall in the living room said seven o'clock.

The aroma of beef filled the entire kitchen. Ji Mu sat on the sofa in a daze, thinking about where to go first after returning to country H tomorrow, and how to contact Dr. Li...

Or, should he find a way to get the Gu family to help him find out about Ji Feng as soon as possible...

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and Ji Mu is always frowning.

"Boom--"

A flash of lightning flashed outside the window, and the muffled thunder resounded.

Ji Mu was inexplicably taken aback.

At the same time, the door at the entrance opened, and it was Gu Yuanchen.

Ji Mu glanced at the time, changed the gloom on his face, and stepped forward in surprise and joy: "Didn't you say you'll be back later?"

Gu Yuanchen looked at him with a gloomy expression on his face, and did not answer.He entered the apartment silently, holding a file bag in one hand, and tore off his tie with the other hand.His shoulders were wet, apparently from a few steps of rain.

Ji Mu took the file bag in his hand as usual, and asked softly, "Why are you still in the rain?"

Gu Yuanchen didn't answer, he wouldn't tell Ji Mu, just now he stopped downstairs for a long time, but he didn't have the courage to come up.Sporadic raindrops fell on his clothes, turning into a few inconspicuous tear stains.

Ji Mu put the file bag on the table: "Why didn't you call me when you came back early? Are you hungry after a busy day? Today's beef stew was very successful. I'm going to cook the noodles. You go to take a bath first." " He laughed, and when facing Gu Yuanchen, he was always as sweet as rose honey, "I put all the desserts in the refrigerator today, I want to eat them together when you come back."

Just like usual, Ji Mu likes these daily interactions, and he also likes to chat with Gu Yuanchen.

For example, "What did I do today", "How many times did I miss you today", "Brother, can I give you a kiss?"

They are so sweet every day.

…………

Gu Yuanchen paused for a moment, then fixedly looked at Ji Mu.

It was as if Ji Mu in front of him suddenly became strange and alienated, and he looked at Ji Mu as if he had never met him before.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Ji Mu stepped forward and touched his cheek, caring about him as always, "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

The corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, his cheeks were warm and rosy, and even his eyes were full of affection, without a trace of hypocrisy.But that's it, Ji Mu's gentle image is completely different from the other person Gu Yuanchen saw today.

With broken glands, a thin body, and a pair of suffering eyes, the man sent out a call for help to Gu Yuanchen.

He said sadly, "Brother, I am Ji Mu."

Every word oozes blood, every word tells Gu Yuanchen what deception is.

Gu Yuanchen didn't want to believe it, but was heartbroken by all kinds of evidence thrown by the other party.He could have lost his temper immediately, returned to the apartment angrily, reprimanded Ji Mu, questioned Ji Mu, and asked for the truth.

But when he drove the car to the apartment complex, he heard the sound of rain and his heart was in a mess.

He was convincing himself and giving Ji Mu a chance.

The love that gets along day and night is not fake, and no one will trample on their sincerity.He said that he had to trust Ji Mu, so if Ji Mu said it himself, he could believe anything.He is blind and inevitably loses himself after falling in love.

Whether it's lying or making up stories, he only cares about what Ji Mu will say, and he even hopes that the person who came to the company today is a complete liar.

However, the ironclad evidence is so strong that Gu Yuanchen hopes that Ji Mu can be honest with him, and now he only has this requirement and dignity left.

It is as if before hanging, the victim himself grasped the rope and asked if it could hang him.

Gu Yuanchen stepped forward and held Ji Mu's hand, it was warm.He has held these hands countless times, and they still feel warm even now.

"Brother?" Ji Mu looked innocent, "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Yuanchen lowered his head and rubbed the back of his hand with his fingertips: "Ji Mu, do you have something to hide from me? You tell me, we can solve it together."

Ji Mu's heart skipped a beat, he looked into Gu Yuanchen's eyes, and didn't dodge for a moment.Then, Ji Mu put on a smiling face mask: "How could I hide something from you?"

And from the time he said those words, Gu Yuanchen's heart became cold.Gu Yuanchen would never believe what Ji Mu said.

Ji Mu's voice was still in his ears, and he said weakly, "Brother, what happened?" Ji Mu couldn't help being upset when he thought of what happened to Ji's family, he tried in a low voice, "What happened to my father?" ?"

"Sorry, I'm too tired today." Gu Yuanchen's face was calm, and he deliberately pushed aside Ji Mu, "I'll take a shower first."

"Okay! Then I, I'll prepare dinner first." Ji Mu foolishly didn't dare to say anything, his head was almost in a mess, and he entered the kitchen nervously.The color of the beef in the pot was attractive, but Ji Mu completely lost the mood to cook noodles.

He couldn't figure out what Gu Yuanchen knew, but because he couldn't figure it out, he didn't even know which lie to tell first.

But in the current situation, Gu Yuanchen must have known something.

Ji Mu stared at the boiling water in the pot, and grabbed the corner of his clothes with one hand.

…………

Gu Yuanchen took the file bag into the bedroom and locked the door behind his back.

The cabinets in the bedroom are always organized by Ji Mu, and Gu Yuanchen's documents are all placed in the study, so he rarely flips through these places.

Gu Yuanchen didn't even have time to take off his rain-wet coat, he opened a cabinet where Ji Mu kept his belongings, and rummaged through it intently.He was looking for a small password box, he wanted to personally overthrow the message he received today, he wanted to believe in Ji Mu, and he wanted to clarify everything in front of him.

The notebook in hand fell to the ground, and a photo suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yuanchen.

When the truth comes down, everything will become so coincidental.

This photo was no stranger to Gu Yuanchen, it was this photo that appeared in front of his eyes when he was on the basketball court.Sure enough, Ji Mu didn't put it in the lost and found office, because it was Ji Mu's own photo.

He slowly picked up the photo, and saw the child who was very similar to Ji Mu in the photo, and the forgotten things in his memory were gradually revived.He didn't actually forget it, he just hid it in a corner.

"Gardenia garden..." Gu Yuanchen murmured, he remembered the words Ji Mu asked him the day after the marking.

And that day, Ji Mu's lonely eyes.

Gu Yuanchen's eyes were red, he turned around and opened the file bag with trembling hands, and took out another photo from it.This is what Ji Mu gave him when he was in the company today.

The dark-eyed teenager in the photo is the same person as the kid in the photo in Jimo's Notebook.

All lies begin to be clear at this moment, self-defeating.

Gu Yuanchen lowered his hand dejectedly, and laughed at himself.

He was in a lie, being played with like a fool, but still loving someone with all his heart.

Outside the door, Ji Mu knocked twice: "Brother, have you locked the door? The noodles are already cooked."

Gu Yuanchen covered his face, the veins on his forehead popped up, he ignored Ji Mu.Time passed by, no matter what Ji Mu said, Gu Yuanchen was unwilling to pay attention to him.

Ji Mu was very anxious: "Brother, can you eat something first? I, I don't know what I did wrong, but if you are willing to tell me, I will definitely correct it."

"..."

"Brother, are you okay? Brother, can you answer me? Brother, I..."

Before the anxious words were finished, the door opened.Gu Yuanchen looked haggard, his tall body looked so lonely under the light of the bedroom.

Ji Mu stood on the spot, hesitating for a while, and in silence, he took the initiative to hold Gu Yuanchen's hand.

"Brother, I did hide something from you. In fact, it's not that I can't tell you, but... our Ji family originally had an illegitimate child. This is not a glorious thing, and my father didn't let me tell it." Ji Mu looked after him Yuan Chen didn't interrupt him, his teeth trembled, and he continued, "He was the one who messed up the emails before, and he answered the phone calls for me. Sorry, I should have told you earlier."

Instead of panicking, it's better to throw the lie out first.

Ji Mu is an insecure person, his methods are not good-looking, and in the eyes of discerning people, they are really lame.But he didn't know what to do anymore, there were cliffs in front and behind, and it all depended on gambling.

It's just that he doesn't know that right now, all his lies are like a joke.Gu Yuanchen also thought it was funny, even now, Ji Mu still lied to him?

Endless anger surged up, Gu Yuanchen violently waved Ji Mu's hand away.

Ji Mu was taken aback, and covered his wrist in pain: "Brother?"

"..."

"Brother, please don't be like this, I'm scared..." Ji Mu didn't back down, he tried his best to release some of his comforting pheromone to Gu Yuanchen, hoping that he could calm down.

However, Gu Yuanchen was disgusted by these strong rose pheromones, and the sweetness turned into a disgusting smell.What a 90% fit, it was stolen, robbed, bloody poached from another person!In the past three years, there has never been any true feelings in the rose pheromone, and some are just false feelings made up of countless lies, which is disgusting.

He snapped: "Put away these pheromones!"

Before the words that Ji Mu hid in his throat came out, they stopped abruptly.

Gu Yuanchen's eyes were full of anger, every time he took a step closer, Ji Mu took a step back.Until Ji Mu leaned against the wall, there was no way out.Gu Yuanchen's voice is no longer gentle and affectionate, it is cold, it is the rain that hits the face in summer, and it is also the hail that falls on the feet in winter.

Every word he said sounded so horrible, as if he never liked Ji Mu.

"Is the pheromone you snatched useful?"

"..."

Ji Mu's heart was suddenly pinched.

Gu Yuanchen asked him: "Did you know that the person you robbed of the pheromone committed suicide countless times. Every attempted suicide is a purgatory on earth."

But what about you?

You almost became a single-handed winner.
