ABO diurnal boundary

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Xie Jingchi, who was reading in his room, saw a black car parked outside the yard through the window.

The first person to come down was Assistant Cao, whose eyes were always on the top of his head. Assistant Cao walked around to the back and opened the car door, and then Qin Shen and Xie Mingyao came out.

They passed by the lush garden, and at a certain moment, Qin Shen, who was talking with Xie Mingyao, raised his head and seemed to glance in Xie Jingchi's direction.

Afraid of being discovered, Xie Jingchi subconsciously moved a little closer to the window, hiding in the shadow of the curtains.Out of nervousness and imperceptible fear, his heart beat fast, as if trying to break free from his chest.

When he came out again, the people in the garden had disappeared, leaving only the flower branches fluttering in the breeze and the smooth and deep lake not far away.

He closed the curtains, walked to the bed and sat down, and there were unfinished staves and unfinished books beside the pillow.

In fact, if he thought about it carefully, he didn't know whether Qin Shen saw him, let alone why his first reaction was to avoid him.

Most people would feel guilty if they peeped and were discovered. He thought for a long time and finally came to this conclusion.

Woke up too early in the morning, once no one disturbed the drowsiness and woke up again, he lay in bed for a while, half asleep when he heard someone knocking on his door and asking him to go downstairs for lunch.

He said yes but didn't act immediately, the maid probably also noticed this, so she kept urging outside, with a very anxious tone, saying that his father wanted to see him immediately.

The deterrent force brought by Xie Mingyao's name made his drowsy brain wake up a little bit.He straightened his clothes in the mirror and hurried downstairs, and waited outside the restaurant for more than ten minutes, until his mind was completely clear, Xie Mingyao, who the maid said must see him, finally came late.

"Father." Of course, it was impossible for Xie Jingchi to openly question this man's decision.

Unlike other middle-aged men who began to get fat and bald in their 40s, Xie Mingyao has always carried out strict self-management, from insisting on exercising to dressing, ensuring that he always has a perfect image enough to be on the cover of financial magazines.

Seeing him standing by the door, Xie Mingyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are you so reserved at home?"

Xie Jingchi lowered his head and accidentally saw the wedding ring on Xie Mingyao's left ring finger.

It is a very simple and generous foundation, without too many other decorations, only the huge and bright square diamond in the middle is like the moon surrounded by stars, which is exactly the same as the one he saw in Fang Rujun's hand.

"Xie Jingchi, have you packed your things?"

Looking over Xie Mingyao's shoulder, Xie Jingchi saw Qin Shen beside him, and Jiang Yu who came with them had gone to nowhere and disappeared everywhere.

Qin Shen was slightly taller than Xie Mingyao, he stood there, talking to himself calmly, Xie Jingchi suddenly felt that the oppression brought by Xie Mingyao was much less.

Xie Jingchi nodded hesitantly, "Yeah." After he finished speaking, he realized that he came down too hastily, forgot to bring the suitcase down, and would go back to get it later.

To be honest, if it wasn't for lunch, he didn't want to stay in this damp and gloomy house for a second.

"Where did you put it?" Qin Shen frowned, but Xie Jingchi keenly heard that there was no sense of blame in it.

"Beside the door, the side next to the wall..." He put it there as he came out of the cloakroom.

Before Xie Jingchi could finish speaking, Qin Shen walked past him without even leaving room to refuse, "I'll go up and get it."

"Xiao Chi." Xie Jingchi suddenly had an extremely bad premonition.

Xie Mingyao, who had been ignored for a long time, looked at him with a smile, "Why are you still so careless, and you have to trouble others."

Xie Jingchi felt uncomfortable when he thought of watching his every move with Qin Shen.He wanted Qin Shen not to go, but compared to him, Qin Shen didn't seem to have so many worries.

"Xie Jingchi, give me the key to your room."

Xie Jingchi hesitated for a moment, took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Qin Shen.

"It's this one." Xie Jingchi knew that this might be unnecessary, but he still pointed out the correct one of the four keys to Qin Shen.

I hope Qin Shen will not be curious about which door and which lock the other keys correspond to... He took a deep breath and drove those unnecessary worries out of his mind.

Probably not, after all, Qin Shen has never been very interested in his affairs.

"Ah."

Qin Shen's palms were very hot, which was a force that made him inexplicably feel at ease. He watched Qin Shen leave with the key, and closed his palms somewhat uncomfortably.

When he couldn't see Qin Shen's back, Xie Mingyao put away the smile that made Xie Jingchi uncomfortable, and said coldly, "It seems that you get along well with him."

Xie Jingchi couldn't figure out whether there was a sense of irony in these words, he really wanted to say, isn't this what you expected, but in the end he didn't say anything - Xie Mingyao hated his Omega gender, and also hated his sharp and eccentric personality Partly, all in all, Xie Mingyao doesn't like all the qualities in him.

"seems like it."

He was not very willing to show intimacy with Qin Shen in front of Xie Mingyao, but he really couldn't make him resist that person's approach.

Just admitting it, seems to say that the lonely and courageous him three years ago was a joke.

The spring was bright outside the window, the combination of sunlight and lights made the restaurant very bright, so bright that Xie Jingchi felt vaguely uncomfortable.

Fang Rujun did not return from an event of a certain luxury brand, so there were only three of them at the dinner table today.

Xie Mingyao took the main seat as it should be, Xie Jingchi hesitated for a while, but still did not sit beside Qin Shen.Xie Mingyao invited Qin Shen to stay for lunch. At best, he was just an incidental gift. Even if the gift was in the corner, no one would care.

Two familiar maids stood silently by the table, waiting for Xie Mingyao to give orders.They all wore dark clothes uniformly, their hair was combed meticulously, their heads were lowered, and they didn't make any extra noise from beginning to end. They were more like blurred bionic machines controlled by artificial intelligence than living people.

Xie Jingchi felt that this restaurant had become the eye of a huge typhoon, with a vacuum, isolation, and storms slowly gathering around.

This discovery pleased him briefly for a second, and then he began to regret the thought that Jiang Yu was redundant in the morning.

The topic at the dinner table has nothing to do with him, but if someone like Jiang Yu is there, at least the air will not be so tense and suffocating.

The dishes were served one after another, and each dish was specially matched with color. Compared with food, it was more like an exquisite work of art. It was placed in exquisite bowls and plates, which was quite elegant in spring.

It's a pity that Xie Jingchi ate too much in the morning, and now he actually doesn't have much appetite, so he won't move his chopsticks much.

"Xiao Chi, you're going to graduate soon, right?"

Xie Mingyao spoke suddenly, the chopsticks in Xie Jingchi's hands slipped, and the boiled shrimp he caught fell into the bowl. He stared blankly at those two dark eyes, not understanding how the conversation at the table suddenly turned to him.

"Yeah." He remembered the person he was going to talk to when he was answering, raised his head, and looked at Xie Mingyao nervously.

There are only two months left in his high school career, when Xie Mingyao suddenly asked what he wanted to do?

Xie Mingyao casually put down his chopsticks, "Since you are about to graduate, have you considered your future plans?"

"what?"

This unexpected request made him very dazed, Xie Mingyao looked at him quietly, and he felt a little contempt and dissatisfaction after getting along with him for a long time.

He suddenly remembered that the reason he was reprimanded once when he was a child was that he had no independent opinion and was weak.

And when he tried to resist, those punishments were more severe than ever before.

"I haven't thought about it..." Probably lacking any confidence, his voice trailed off a little bit, "I'll see how he did in the exam. I don't know."

He never imagined that one day he would need to talk about his future in front of these people.

"Even if you don't know, you should have a general direction, right?" Xie Mingyao was not satisfied with such an answer.

He felt the blood all over his body rushing to his cheeks, "I don't know, after all, I don't know if I can pass the exam..."

"Tell me, which school do you want to test, tell us, and we can refer to it for you."

Xie Mingyao's question was not sharp, just like any father in the world who cared about his child, he just wanted to know the exact name.

Noticing that Qin Shen was also looking at this side, Xie Jingchi bit his lip, and the volume was a little louder than a gnat flying.

"I want to test..."

He whispered the name of a school, then turned his face to the other side as if he could no longer bear the shame.

"Then you have to work hard." Xie Mingyao continued as if he didn't realize his embarrassment at all, "When you were your age, Qin Shen had already received offers from four famous schools, so don't give him Shame."

Xie Jingchi seemed to be slapped, "I...I will try my best."

After such an episode, Xie Jingchi didn't have any appetite at all.

The originally sweet shrimp meat became hard to swallow like rubber. After eating the shrimp in the bowl, he never moved his chopsticks again.

He knew that Qin Shen graduated from an extremely high-ranked prestigious university in the UK, and when put together with the mediocre low-level university he just mentioned, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be commensurate.

but……

"By the way, Xiaochi, your brother is coming back next week, and we will all attend your birthday party. After all, it is such an important day for you."

It took a while for Xie Jing to realize what Xie Mingyao was talking about.

Will Xie Xuan, who is still studying abroad, come back?Brother, Xie Xuan, no matter how many years have passed, he can't connect these four words together.

"Okay, I see." He twitched the corners of his mouth, pretending to be happy with the news.

Next week is his birthday, of course he wouldn't dream of being as grand as Xie Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony, but Xie Mingyao also didn't intend to let it pass in a low-key manner.

He hoped that day would come soon, and he hoped it never would.

While going out, Xie Jingchi ran into that Assistant Cao who was always at odds with him.

Assistant Cao probably didn't really want to have anything to do with him, even if he didn't show it on the surface, there was a hint of disgust in his words.

"On Friday afternoon, Mr. Xie asked me to pick you up at the school. Don't ignore my call." He didn't even say where the dinner was held or what he needed to do, but just told him to be there.

But this is also very Xie Mingyao's style-his personal will is not important, he just needs to respond and cooperate like a marionette.

If he is really a body without thought and consciousness, obeying all orders of Xie Mingyao and no longer obeying others, then would Xie Mingyao love him?

It will probably be better than now, but it will not be as sincere as loving Xie Xuan.

He was not very disappointed with this conclusion, because he realized a long time ago that he was born not worthy of any warmth from Xie Mingyao.

"no need."

Xie Jingchi turned around and found that it was Qin Shen who had just finished making a phone call and came back.

Qin Shen took the suitcase from him forcefully, without paying even the slightest attention to Assistant Cao during the whole process.

"I know where it is. I'll just take him there when the time comes. Don't bother Assistant Cao."

"But……"

Assistant Cao didn't expect such an outburst, and his expression turned ugly.

Qin Shen ignored Assistant Cao, and the driver outside saw them coming out and immediately drove over.

Xie Jingchi got into the car with Qin Shen, and the driver took over Jiang Yu's usual work and closed the car door for them.

The way down the mountain was very quiet. After Xie Jingchi replied to the message on WeChat, he suddenly remembered that he should replenish the barrier agent.

He found the small jar in his pocket, and before he pressed it down, he heard Qin Shen talking to himself.

"I forgot to return the key to you."

It wasn't until then that Xie Jingchi realized that his key was still in the hands of the other party - with Xie Mingyao around, he didn't even have the chance to talk to Qin Shen alone.

When Qin Shen handed him the bunch of keys, he saw the things in his hand, "Do you need help?"

Xie Jingchi didn't expect him to say that, his eyes flickered, "Is it okay?"

Qin Shen's attitude was very casual, as if it was an insignificant matter, "There is nothing wrong with it, it depends on whether you want it or not."

Xie Jingchi turned his head to the side, and took the opportunity of taking away the key to hand the small pot into the other party's hand, "Just one click."

"I know." Qin Shen leaned his upper body a little towards him so that he could see more clearly.

Xie Jingchi looked at his own shadow on the window glass, and suddenly felt that the back of his collar was torn a little.

The clear and cold woody aroma on Alpha's body suddenly became thicker, followed by warm fingers, Xie Jingchi had to bite the tip of his tongue to prevent himself from making a sound.

The conditioned reflex of fear and resistance passed, and the smooth and soft fingertips pressed a few times around the back of his neck and then quickly withdrew, as if determining the correct position.

It has to be said that even when doing such an obviously intimate thing, Qin Shen still has a sense of distance, all the touches are just superficial, so fast that Xie Jingchi almost thought it was his own illusion.

The spray can was smacked, and the cool touch melted on the skin, and then Xie Jingchi smelled the familiar smell of bitter almonds.

"Okay." Qin Shen lowered his eyes and returned the metal jar with his body temperature to him.

"Thank you." He paused, "It was just now... Actually, you don't have to do that, he is that kind of person." He said vaguely, hoping that Qin Shen would not understand that he was speaking ill of others behind his back.

He knew that Qin Shen was standing up for himself just now.Seeing him making things difficult for Assistant Cao so naively in the morning, anyone who wasn't stupid would know that he had a problem with him, but he just didn't expect Qin Shen to be on his side.

"Didn't you agree to accompany me to see grandpa?" Qin Shen sat back in his seat, closed his eyes, and raised his chin slightly, looking a little tired and overloaded, "It's not a big deal, it's fine like this , no one will blame you."
