what do you know?Xie Jingchi blinked, but Qin Shen didn't give him time to think.

The master bedroom was pitch black, the heavy velvet curtains were tightly drawn, and the color of the wallpaper and furniture could not be discerned. If Qin Shen hadn't turned on the light, Xie Jingchi wouldn't even have noticed that there was a third person in the corner.

Facing those straight and dull eyes, Xie Jingchi was taken aback, Qin Shen didn't show it, but he grabbed his hand even harder.

"Qin Shen!" He cried out in pain.

"Feel sorry."

Qin Shen let go of his hand, and the source of the pain disappeared instantly. Xie Jingchi took a small step back and distanced himself from him, "It's okay."

When the pain in his wrist subsided a little, he quietly raised his eyes to look at the person on the chair: he was an old man with gray hair, and his clothes were fairly neat. There was no life in his eyes, and he just reflected the outside world dully.

When Qin Shen walked up to the old man, the old man flinched imperceptibly.

"You, you... who are you?"

"I'm Qin Shen." Qin Shen's eyes were lowered, his expression and tone were very calm, "I came here yesterday, don't you remember? It doesn't matter if you don't remember, just try to remember it today."

There was a hint of confusion on the old man's dull and stiff face, but he quickly returned to calm.

"Did you take your morning medicine?"

The old man's throat twitched, and he didn't look into Qin Shen's eyes as if avoiding it.

Qin Shen, who almost understood, stretched out his hand to break the old man's clenched hand. The old man shook his head resistingly, trying to close his palms again, but he couldn't hold back an adult Alpha at all.

It didn't take long for Qin Shen to pick out a pile of pills that had been soaked in sweat and sticky - judging from the proficiency of his movements, it was obvious that this was not the first time.

Qin Shen was silent for a while, then threw these no longer edible pills into the trash can, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands clean, "I will ask someone to bring new ones over later, no matter how many times you hide these pills, you must to eat."

Taking medicine should be a key word, the old man yelled twice in resistance, turned his head to the other side, and deliberately ignored Qin Shen.

"It's raining outside again, did you hear that?"

Qin Shen didn't take his resistance and resistance to heart, and chatted softly with him while holding the skinny hand full of age spots.

Many small things that happened recently were repeated by Qin Shen's indifferent voice, and there was an inorganic texture in Xie Jingchi's ears.

Xie Jingchi listened attentively, the rain outside seemed to be a little heavier, beating heavily on the eaves, window sills and even his heart.

Qin Shen said a lot of things that Xie Jingchi knew and didn't know. Ever since he knew Qin Shen, Xie Jingchi had never heard him say so many things at once. One point, did not give him even the slightest reaction.

Xie Jingchi followed the old man's gaze and saw nothing more worthy of attention than Qin Shen.

"Who is he?"

As if he had finally noticed that there was another person, the muscles on the old man's cheeks twitched twice, and he spoke vaguely.

"He is the Xie Jingchi you've been talking about. I said I would bring him to see you."

Qin Shen stepped aside a little so that the old man could see Xie Jingchi standing at the door more clearly.

"Don't you believe me? Do you think I just brought someone here to lie to you?" Qin Shen asked in a low voice. The old man didn't answer, but it was clear from his vigilant eyes that that was what he meant.

Qin Shen sighed lightly, and Xie Jingchi's heart shrank.

Xie Jingchi, who had never experienced such a situation, took out the passport in his pocket without a teacher.

"Because I went on a trip with my family." Xie Jingchi didn't know if the other party could listen to his words, "I didn't come to see you on purpose."

Ignoring the dim light in Qin Shen's eyes, Xie Jingchi opened the passport, and the words "Xie Jingchi" were clearly printed on it.

"If I knew... I would definitely come here with Qin Shen earlier, I'm sorry."

The old man, who was stingy with giving Qin Shen a little reaction from the beginning to the end, stared at the passport for a long time, and then smiled slowly at Xie Jingchi.

Xie Jingchi couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment, and he didn't dare to look into Qin Shen's eyes, so he just stood there at a loss.

Until Qin Shen pulled him over, he suddenly realized that the cloying sweet fragrance in the air had faded, replaced by a hazy and cold woody fragrance.

Alpha pheromone briefly overwhelmed everything, and Xie Jingchi couldn't resist his instinct.

"Feel sorry."

The very soft words fell into Xie Jingchi's ears. This was the second time Qin Shen apologized to him in just a few minutes.

Xie Jingchi opened his eyes wide, and the next second his soft lips fell on his forehead, which was a little hot and more strange.

"Hey, it's not your fault. I still have something to do. Wait for me downstairs."

Qin Shen's voice was louder this time, Xie Jingchi knew that these intimacy were all for the elderly behind, but for some reason, Qin Shen's gentle tone made him feel even more false and at a loss.

A small piece of skin on the back of his neck was throbbing, and a fine layer of sweat was already forming on his back.

Just when he was about to be unbearable, Qin Shen let go of his arm and let him go free again.

Xie Jingchi exhaled the air in his lungs as if he was relieved, and fled from the room as if fleeing, not caring whether Qin Shen's grandfather would see the clue.

The moment the door closed behind him, Xie Jingchi seemed to hear Qin Shen's voice.

"You always wanted me to marry him, if..."

The second half of the sentence couldn't be heard clearly, Xie Jingchi stood in the empty corridor without moving for a long time, after a while he raised his hand and desperately wiped the skin on his forehead that Qin Shen had kissed, the more he wiped, the more vivid the feeling was, almost ashamed.

Downstairs, Jiang Yu left without knowing when, the docile and silent maid poured Xie Jingchi a glass of soda, and Xie Jingchi sat on the sofa in a daze after drinking it.

For Xie Jingchi, the time spent in a daze seemed to be infinitely extended.Since stepping into this room, the glands on the back of Xie Jingchi's neck have been very uncomfortable, and now the discomfort is almost reaching its peak.

Until he smelled a sweet fruity aroma different from incense, he belatedly realized that it might be too close to the estrus period, causing the blocker to fail early.

Asking the location of the bathroom from the maid, Xie Jingchi hurried in.The light in the bathroom was even darker than the outside, Xie Jingchi found out the spray can that was placed next to his body, pulled off layers of collars, and pressed several times on the back of his neck.

The coolness of the spray fell on the warm skin, even though Xie Jingchi held his breath earlier, he still smelled the bitter taste of the barrier agent.

The bitter taste neutralized the sweet smell of pheromone on his body, and suppressed the frivolous impulse in a secret place that no one could reach. Xie Jingchi turned on the faucet, and the warm water flowed through his slender fingers. He scooped up a handful and splashed it on his face.

The water flow took away the excess body heat, he shook off the water droplets on his face, raised his head, and in the mirror was still the face he had been looking at for 18 years, which didn't have much resemblance to Xie Mingyao.

There was an unnatural blush on his cheekbones, his big eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist in the light yellowed by tobacco, only the red mark after the violent treatment remained on his forehead, which looked a bit funny.

After filling up the barrier agent, Xie Jingchi returned to the living room.When he was away, the maid added new firewood to the fireplace that was about to go out, and the flames that sprang up painted a layer of red copper on the surrounding furniture, and the scent of ashes stained the clothes. Xie Jingchi raised his sleeve and smelled it. It feels like the sense of smell is almost lost in this strong aroma.

Only at this time, he would miss Qin Shen's fresh smell.

The flames dispelled the coldness in his bones, Xie Jingchi sat upright at first, but later he simply curled up on the sofa.

He remained drowsy until noon, when Qin Shen finally appeared in front of him again.

Xie Jingchi noticed that Qin Shen had changed his clothes, his shirt cuffs were rolled up a little bit to reveal his thin and sexy wrists, and he was no longer meticulous in other areas. He was much more at home than the appearance he had just shown that he was ready to attend financial meetings at any time.

"Get up and eat."

Sleepy Xie Jingchi rubbed his eyes and sat up straight.

"Adjust your hair." Qin Shen looked at him condescendingly for a while, then said again.

Xie Jing slowly raised his hand and pulled it, but this did not satisfy the picky Qin Shen.

"It's still messy."

"here?"

Xie Jingchi tried three or four times to no avail, and finally Qin Shen stretched out his hand to push down a strand of uneven hair from the back of his head.

Even though he knew that Qin Shen had no other intentions, the impulse that had been suppressed with great difficulty resurfaced again, making Xie Jing, who had just walked around on the verge of losing control, unable to calm down for a long time.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Jingchi and Qin Shen, who were still unable to leave, sat at the same table and had a simple and late lunch.

Xie Jingchi hadn't eaten a couple of bites before he went upstairs to make a noise, and then someone came down in a hurry and whispered in Qin Shen's ear.

"I'll leave for a while." Qin Shen put down his chopsticks, followed the maid and went upstairs again.

The noise upstairs lasted for a while before it quieted down, Xie Jingchi finished his meal without taste, and then sat on the sofa again in a daze.

This time Qin Shen only went for half an hour, and when Xie Jingchi came back, he couldn't bear the tiredness between his brows.

"finished?"

"It's over, I'll take you back."

Qin Shen didn't say how it would end, but Xie Jingchi didn't have the time to care.

If he understood correctly, he could finally leave this gloomy building that suffocated him.

"Look what I do?"

Xie Jingchi plucked up the courage to tell Qin Shen that he didn't want to go back to Qiwen Mountain.

"why?"

"If I go back now, I will be alone. I don't like it."

Xie Jingchi said half-truthfully that he would have nightmares at night when he lived alone in that huge house.

"Then where do you want to live?" Qin Shen frowned.

Xie Jingchi didn't like being watched by him like this, as if he had done something wrong.

"I'm going to stay at my classmate's house." Xie Jingchi said softly.

Seeing that Qin Shen didn't speak for a long time, Xie Jingchi made preparations in advance to be rejected.

Anyway, Qin Shen was not someone of his, so he couldn't control him all the time. At most, Qin Shen sent him to Qiwen Mountain, then turned around and took a taxi to find Lu Xu by himself.

Qin Shen's brows loosened, it might be Xie Jingchi's illusion, he saw an emotion called relief in Qin Shen's eyes.

What is he feeling relieved about?Such thoughts flashed through Xie Jingchi's mind.

"Give me the address of your classmate's home."

Ten minutes later, Xie Jingchi sat next to Qin Shen, watching him turn the key to start the car, and then adjust the navigation.

"President Qin..."

Qin Shen thought he was calling himself, and gave a questioning "hmm", Xie Jingchi was speechless, and explained slowly, "I mean your grandpa..."

The embarrassing episode didn't cause much trouble, and Qin Shen understood the second half of the sentence he didn't say, "Alzheimer's disease, or dementia."

Xie Jingchi who didn't know how to answer fell silent.

Ever since he knew who meant his marriage contract with Qin Shen, he had searched for the word "Qin Nianchuan" more than once.

Unlike the mysterious Qin Shen, Qin Nianchuan had many interviews uploaded on the Internet.

When facing the media, Qin Nianchuan was calm and well-spoken. No matter what, Xie Jingchi couldn't connect him with the timid, numb and suspicious old man just now.

"After he got sick, he forgot a lot of people and things, and was immersed in the memories of the past endlessly." Qin Shen paused, "I don't know why, but he seems to have a little impression of you."

"Oh." Xie Jingchi looked out the window nervously, the rain had stopped, but the sky hadn't cleared yet, and the gray look was worse than in the morning, "No wonder."

If it wasn't like this, Qin Shen wouldn't need to play such a clumsy play with him.

After talking, they stopped talking. During the Spring Festival, the weather was so bad and there was very little traffic on the road. It took less than an hour to arrive at the destination from the lake area.

Lu Xu's house is not a high-end community, and the access control is not strict, so Qin Shen can easily drive in.

"Xie Jingchi."

Downstairs at Lu Xu's house, Xie Jingchi was about to get off the car when Qin Shen called his name.

During this day, he was frightened by Qin Shen too many times, causing his fingers to untie the seat belt to freeze for a moment.

Fortunately, Qin Shen didn't have the heart to make things difficult for him this time.

"Call me if you need help."

A trace of painful resistance appeared on Xie Jingchi's face, and when he raised his head again, he couldn't see much of it.

"it is good."

Xie Jingchi ran upstairs without looking back, quietly looked down through the corridor window, and found that Qin Shen's car had already left.
