ABO diurnal boundary

Xie Jingchi's birthday dinner was held at a luxury hotel owned by Xie's holding company.

Because no one had discussed with him beforehand, Xie Jingchi didn't know who else Xie Mingyao had invited besides himself and Qin Shen.Of course, he knew in his heart that there would definitely not be a big feast like Xie Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony, which made the media scramble to broadcast the sensational scale.

There is usually a dress code for such formal occasions, generally a suit for men and a dress for women.It's not that Xie Jingchi doesn't have formal clothes—even if he doesn't have much affection for him, Xie Mingyao has never treated him harshly in terms of material conditions—it's just that he has grown by four or five centimeters compared to last year, including those four suits. A lot of the clothes in my closet don't fit right anymore, especially the trousers, which show enough ankles to be embarrassing even if they have a decent waist.

The night before his birthday, Jiang Yu brought him a modified suit for him to try on.

The few problems that Xie Jingchi raised last time, such as the loose waist of the trousers and the slightly longer sleeves of the jacket, etc., have all been corrected now, and there is only one problem left for him.

In addition to the shirt and trousers, there is also an elegant bow tie in the bag.

The problem lies in this place.Xie Jingchi picked it up and gestured twice in distress, and finally put it down in frustration.

He had used pre-tied finished products before, and it was indeed the first time he had seen such a hand-tied one.In the spirit of not wanting to throw in the towel, he tried twice, but got nothing but crumpled the tie.

Boom boom boom.About a little too long after he had been alone in the room, someone knocked on the door.

"Xie Jingchi, is there something wrong with your clothes?" Across the door, Qin Shen's cold voice was slightly off-key, but still very recognizable.

Although he didn't know why it was Qin Shen who came, thinking that Jiang Yu was still waiting outside for his feedback, he still took a deep breath and opened the door.

The warm, faintly yellow light of the living room dimly penetrated from the other end of the corner of the corridor, leaving bright traces on the floor.Qin Shen's gaze swept across his face, and finally settled on his open neckline.

Xie Jingchi looked a little embarrassed by him, "This..." He remembered to wear that crumpled bow tie this time.He picked it up and showed it to Qin Shen, "I... won't."

Not only was this not a glorious thing, but it exposed his own idiocy in life, so Xie Jingchi said the phrase "I don't know how" so quickly and softly that people with a little poor hearing could easily be confused by him.

Qin Shen hummed, and turned his gaze to his hand, "Can't tie it?"

It may be an illusion caused by too much shame, Xie Jingchi always felt that there was a bit of a smile in his voice, but it was not annoying.

He suddenly realized that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to associate Qin Shen with the word "hate", and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Obviously three years ago he hated Qin Shen so much, hated him and that ridiculous marriage contract that came with him.

"Give it to me." Qin Shen took the tie directly from his hand, "Come here a little more."

Xie Jingchi obediently took half a step forward, until he was about to bump into the shoulder of the person in front of him before he realized that the distance might be too close.

Corresponding to his bewilderment, Qin Shen calmly put a soft fabric around his neck, and then compared the length of the ends on both sides.

"Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy?"

At such a close distance, Xie Jingchi had to raise his head to see Qin Shen's face.

"There are a lot of homework, a lot, and I can't finish it in school." He raised his chin, restraining himself from looking at the bony hand moving between his throat, "There is still review..." His voice Slowly down.

Qin Shen accepted this explanation noncommittally, "If you don't, come and ask me, sleeping too late is bad for your health."

The housekeeper must have said something to him that shouldn't be said...

His fingertips brushed against Xie Jingchi's Adam's apple inadvertently, and Xie Jingchi's body froze instantly, "Mm, good."

He restrained himself, trying not to let Qin Shen discover his strangeness.It had nothing to do with disgust or resistance. Qin Shen's touch was not something unbearable, but the small piece of skin that was touched was slightly itchy, which made him very concerned.

"What are you doing looking at me like this?" Seeing his absent-minded look, Qin Shen lowered his eyes, "Have you learned it yet?"

Xie Jingchi realized that he was teaching himself how to tie a bow tie just now.

"Yes..." He wanted to apologize for his distraction, but before he could say anything, Qin Shen frowned, not very happy.

Qin Shen looked at him for a few seconds, sighed lightly, and untied the tie, "I'll do it again."

After making sure that he wasn't angry, Xie Jingchi felt relieved when he raised it.He lowered his head and carefully watched how the unruly bow tie in his hand was wrapped around his fingertips by Qin Shen, flexibly drawing a delicate knot.

On the way, he still couldn't help but secretly glanced at Qin Shen.Probably because all his attention was on the current work, Qin Shen didn't notice his small movements.

The dim light fell on Qin Shen's tall nose, casting a faint shadow.Xie Jingchi remembered that his first impression of this man was that he was a little too handsome, so that he had a sense of distance.

Who can get close to him and make him show such a focused and gentle expression?Xie Jingchi was taken aback by his sudden thought.

—Anyway, no one will be him.

It was obviously the most correct answer at the moment, but he fell into an endless emptiness in an instant.

In the end, Xie Jingchi still failed to learn the supposedly simple method of tying a bow tie.

He tried it twice, and the steps were exactly the same as Qin Shen's, but the finished product looked very different.

Qin Shen reluctantly took away the battered bow tie, not letting him continue.

"If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. If you try again, you will really have to get a new one."

Xie Jingchi glanced wildly, vaguely feeling that he was scolding himself for being hopelessly stupid in a very euphemistic way, and suffering from the lack of evidence to refute it.

He knew how to deal with other people's bitterness and meanness, but he didn't know how to take this kind of intimate teasing.

"Oh." He pursed his lips and said dully, "I'm sorry."

Qin Shen is a very good person. He is willing to give him so much patience, but he still hasn't learned it. He is really the worst student in the world.

After confirming that there is no problem with the size of the clothes, and there is no need to take them for a second revision, Jiang Yu got off work with satisfaction after getting the pardon for going to work for two hours tomorrow night, and no longer served his difficult boss.

Xie Jingchi originally wanted to go back to his room and continue to write his homework piled up like a hill, but Qin Shen stopped him and told him not to rush into the room.

"Happy birthday." The corners of Qin Shen's lips curled up slightly, "I put the gift outside, if you want it, you can get it yourself."

Xie Jingchi wanted to say that his birthday hadn't come yet, but before he got to the point of speaking, he glanced at the wall clock with happiness.

Because of the extra evening self-study, he arrived home very late, and it was almost eleven o'clock after entering the door. After changing clothes and tossing with Qin Shen here, an hour wasted unconsciously. Now it is indeed It's the second day.

Qin Shen took him to the restaurant outside. There was a very small cake on the table, covered with his favorite fruits, and two beautiful little flowers framed with colored cream.

Xie Jingchi was very sure that he would come back, when he passed the restaurant, the tables were still empty and there was nothing there.

No wonder it was Qin Shen who knocked on the door. It turned out that Jiang Yu was going to the living room to quietly prepare these things before he could find out.

"The housekeeper specially prepared it." Qin Shen went into the kitchen, and took out the frying pan and the thawed steak with a skill that Xie Jingchi couldn't imagine, "He said he would give you a surprise, do you want to eat it?"

Xie Jingchi nodded blankly, "Yes."

"It will take a while, you go take a shower first."

After Xie Jingchi took a shower and changed into his pajamas, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of beef, butter, pepper and thyme.

Standing outside the kitchen and looking at Qin Shen's back, he was still full of disbelief.After all, in his cognition, Qin Shen is the kind of real young master who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers. He was served by others since he was a child, and he never did any housework.

When Qin Shen came out with the dish, he was still in a daze.

"Would you like to blow out the candles?"

"No need." Xie Jingchi shook his head, "Really no need."

There will probably be a big and pretentious cake waiting for him to blow in the evening, and now he doesn't want to ruin the housekeeper's intentions with such exaggerated things.

Because it was specially made for him alone, the cake was very small, about the size of a palm. Qin Shen cut a small piece for him and placed it on a bone china plate. The bright red strawberries and snow-white cream were paired together, which was bright and colorful. And good-looking.

Xie Jingchi watched Qin Shen stand up, took out a bottle of sparkling wine from the wine cabinet and poured it into a glass filled with ice.

"Can I have a drink, too?"

"this is not OK."

got rejected.Xie Jingchi thought sullenly, today is his birthday, but this person still treats him like a child.

Children can't drink alcohol, which is almost a default rule for all adults.

Qin Shen took out another bottle, "That one is too strong, and this one has a relatively low degree."

Xie Jingchi got a glass of low-alcohol alcohol that he wanted.

The wine didn't taste good at all, even at low alcohol it had a weird bitter taste, not like juice at all.Xie Jingchi didn't like it, but he still drank it all.

"Is there anything bothering you?"

Qin Shen took the cup from his hand.

He looked up at Qin Shen, who was also looking at him.

It was very close to the focused and warm eyes he had imagined, but there were some subtle differences, deeper and darker, more ruthless, but this did not affect that the hole in his heart was filled a little bit.

He has a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask.He wanted to ask Qin Shen if he knew, but he didn't know how to explain the whole thing.

Maybe Xie Mingyao had discussed it with him a long time ago, and he was the only one kept in the dark, otherwise why Xie Mingyao had to ask Qin Shen to meet that morning.

Weak resentment mixed with unspeakable disappointment, probably because of the alcohol, his mind is very messy, everything is entangled, and there is no way to sort it out.

"I do not know."

Qin Shen backed away a little, and the vague feeling of being watched disappeared, "Then I won't ask."

He seems very thoughtful.But Xie Jingchi knew that it was just what it looked like, and when he relaxed his vigilance and stepped on it, what awaited him would be an endless fall.
