coexist in vain

After the kiss in the parking lot that day, although Jiang Yi and Du Yichen were a little embarrassed at first, they soon disappeared as time went by.The relationship between the two is even closer than before.

I don't know if Jiang's father really listened to Du Yichen's words, anyway, the blind date matter was put on hold, and finally nothing happened.

The two drove noisily together to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.Seeing Du Yichen even haggling with the small vegetable vendors, Jiang Yi was in the noisy vegetable market, and suddenly felt that he had been living in another parallel world all along.

In that world, there are only cold refrigerators and bags of vegetables wrapped in plastic wrap, but it has lost a little color, a little taste, a little earth, and a little sound.

Du Yichen's mobile phone in the living room rang, and Jiang Yi, who was watching the video of the dance competition in the living room, glanced at the unfamiliar number on it, and shouted to Du Yichen in the kitchen, "Dudu your text message!"

"Ah? Then you bring it here for me! I can't move my hands while peeling the shrimp."

It was probably the little girls from the personnel department who asked him for President Jiang's phone number again.

"Okay!" Jiang Yi pressed the pause button, trotted two steps and handed the phone to Du Yichen.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Jiang Yi asked, noticing his inadvertent frown.

"It's a little thing at work." Du Yichen put his phone in his trouser pocket, and chased Jiang Yi away with a smile, "Young master, don't make trouble in the kitchen."

"What about work? We are a family now. Tell me?" Jiang Yi, who avoided his attack, smiled and hugged Du Yichen who was continuing to peel the shrimp from behind, rubbing his cheek against his neck.

That's right, this is what happened to her impulsive kiss.

Du Yichen rolled his eyes helplessly at Jiang Yi, who was like sticky candy. He thought of the more and more physical contact and vague kisses in recent days, and felt upset.However, she didn't seem to hate his closeness in her heart.

Du Yichen tried his best to control his heartbeat, forced himself to continue cooking calmly.

"Really do not have?"

"Really." Du Yichen nodded.

"But I do." Seemingly addicted, Jiang Yi pinched a piece of ham on the plate, let Du Yichen take a bite, and ate the rest by himself before continuing to complain, "The company I'm working with now is really too difficult to deal with. Yes, their boss also..."

Listening to Jiang Yi childishly venting his anger on work matters to himself, Du Yichen raised his eyes and saw the two hugging each other so intimately through the clear glass window, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Du Yichen, who put on a table of delicious food in a short while, was applauded by Jiang Yi.He watched Jiang Yi graciously offer rice to himself, and suddenly he smelled a strong smell of home in the air.

"Dudu, your craftsmanship is really good." Jiang Yi was full of praise, and the chopsticks in his hand never stopped.

"It's not like I just found out today." Du Yichen, who was embarrassed to be praised, concealed it and added a chopstick of mushrooms to himself.

"So no one cooks for you?"

"No." Jiang Yi really stopped and thought about it seriously, and came to a conclusion, "When I was young, I was a babysitter. When I grew up, I just settled in restaurants or ordered takeaways. It's the first time to buy vegetables and cook by myself like this. "

"Oh." Du Yichen picked up the rice grains in his bowl, and said casually, "Your ex-boyfriend Yu Wen didn't do it for you either?"

Hearing Yu Wen's name suddenly, Jiang Yi paused for a moment with the hand that was stretched out to pick up the vegetables, and finally put down his chopsticks.

"Who did you hear about Yu Wen? Ah, it's the little girls in the company."

Du Yichen nodded silently.

"They sent the text message just now?" Jiang Yi smiled slyly, seeing Du Yichen's depressed expression, "Hey, Dudu, you won't be jealous, right?"

"how come."

"Well, for the sake of our being lovers, I'll tell you." Jiang Yi deliberately emphasized the word 'lover'.

"Yu Wen is not my ex-boyfriend, he is here to kill me."

Seeing Du Yichen's terrified expression as expected, Jiang Yi patted him on the head helplessly, "Yu Wen is a killer, and I was lucky enough to be saved by you. He left me after failing his mission. "

"How do you know Yu Wen is the killer?" Du Yichen asked curiously.

"I have eyeliner with them."

"Eyeliner?"

"Well," Jiang Yi nodded, "He said he needed a sum of money, and he happened to have the KS insider information I wanted, so he made a deal."

He looked at Du Yichen's confused eyes, "Does KS know? It's just that evil organization. Forget it, how did you know?"

"Why does that person have KS information?" Ignoring Jiang Yi's contempt for his dignity as a killer again, Du Yichen is now concerned about the major incident of Yu Wen's information leaking back then.Could it be that the rumored inner ghost is true?

"I don't know about that. He is very mysterious and cautious. He originally planned to sell me more materials after that, but then he changed his mind for some reason." Jiang Yi said helplessly, "I only know him The code name is LEAF."

LEAF... Du Yichen squinted his eyes vigilantly, remembering that the current leader of the second team, LEAF, Ye Chenglin.

"Why do you ask so many things about Yu Wen? Could it be..." Jiang Yi smiled maliciously, "Could it be that you really like me?"

"Stop being narcissistic. Let's eat your food." Du Yichen, who was still in shock, picked up the bowl and ate seriously, but his thoughts had long since drifted away, and he couldn't help but think of the unnamed text message from before. , My heart tightened.

"Don't be like this, Dudu." It was rare to see Du Yichen who was speechless by himself, and Jiang Yi was in a good mood, "I admit so bravely that I like you."

"Huh? When did you say that? Why didn't I know?"

"On your day when my dad kissed me face-to-face."

Jiang Yi's arrogant appearance made Du Yichen smile, "Now you finally admit that he is your father?"

"Don't change the subject." Jiang Yi grabbed Du Yichen's wrist, forcing him to put down the bowl, "I'm serious. I like you, Du Yichen."

The temperature of his palm burns his skin, like him, he has no fear.

"What about you? Dudu, do you like me?"

Du Yichen looked at Jiang Yi who was smiling so brightly, and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"The default is that you like me too." Jiang Yi took the words and made a final decision with a happy face.

The unnamed answer was choked in Du Yichen's throat, and gradually disappeared along with his smile.

After lunch, the two of them fought and washed the dishes, when Du Yichen suddenly said that he wanted to go to the park.

"Shall I drive you?" Jiang Yi asked eagerly as he handed the towel to Du Yichen to wipe his hands.

"No, I'll take the bus there."

"Bus?" The young master's eyes sparkled with interest, "Then I'll go with you. There is a bus stop sign at the gate of the community, and there are very few people waiting for the bus every time."

When did you value the bus as a means of transportation.Du Yichen pouted.

"Let's go together. We can sit here until the end and come back." Excited, Jiang Yi had already gone back to his room to change clothes.

In fact, even if Jiang Yi didn't want to go with him, he would find various excuses to bring him along.Du Yichen took out his mobile phone, looked at the text message, wrote down the time and bus plate number indicated on it, and quickly deleted the text message.

According to the agreed time, Du Yichen and Jiang Yi waited for the bus at the bus stop on time.

Perhaps because of the weekend, there were many more people on the bus than expected.As soon as he got in the car, Du Yichen was so crowded that he could hardly stand up.

"Hey, be careful." Jiang Yi quickly grabbed Du Yichen's arm.

"Thank you." Du Yichen smiled lightly, feeling the opponent's hand groping for his own along his arm, then separated his five fingers, and clasped them lightly.He looked up in surprise, and it was Jiang Yi's warm smile that returned to him.

The temperature in his palm is still so scorching, it makes people's fingertips drip with sweat.

Like a ghost, Du Yichen didn't try to escape.In the crowded car, the two of them held each other tightly in the name of protection, and everything was forgotten.

Du Yichen felt the warmth from Jiang Yi, and suddenly had a personal experience of the word thumping.

"Let's stand in the back and have some space."

His voice is close to the ear, warm.

Du Yichen nodded, and pulled him to stand near the end of the car, and stood still.Suddenly he turned his head and noticed a person sitting in the last row.That person should be tall and young, wearing a baggy long-sleeved jersey and a black baseball cap with the brim pressed down so low that he couldn't see his face clearly.

Why do you feel a bit like Qi Guangzhen?

Du Yichen pretended to be casual and looked at him a few more times, then quickly dismissed the idea.Although he was very similar in stature, he had never smelled such a strong killer aura from him.Although it wasn't Qi Guangzhen, the keen Du Yichen still had an intuition that this well-dressed person had something to do with that text message.So the heart that was finally let go was picked up again.

He glanced over without any trace, and as expected, at a moment when the car was bumping, he saw the man hiding in his sleeve, only showing the light reflected from the delicate pistol of the muzzle in the sun.

Although he was quickly hidden by the man, Du Yichen, who is also a killer, understood the purpose of his visit.

but……

He turned his head to look at the person who was holding him tightly, protecting him intentionally or unintentionally.Du Yichen, who had never been afraid of death, suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness pouring into his heart like a tide.

Just imagining Jiang Yi's cold hands and feet, lying lifeless in a pool of blood, Du Yichen would frown with sadness.He couldn't be firm enough to hold Jiang Yi into hell with his own hands and still stand still, without any guilt in his heart.

Because this person... is family.

Du Yichen once again turned his head to look at the person who was waiting for him to make a decision, and shook his head.

At this time, the bus arrives at the station.The crowd standing by the door was crowded again.The passing crowd blocked Du Yichen's sight.When he looked back again, the dangerous man in the hat had disappeared.That position was replaced by a bald uncle sitting there with his legs crossed.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Yi, who was squeezed away by the crowd, was able to get close to him at this moment, and followed his gaze.

"No." After the crisis was over, Du Yichen was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he turned his body backwards and gently leaned against Jiang Yi.

Indescribable bitterness mixed with joy.

If, if now you ask me again if I like you.

The afternoon sun slanted into the carriage gently, moistening his crooked eyes.

Maybe, I would say...
