ABO diurnal boundary

For the two days of the college entrance examination, Xie Jingchi didn't leave any deep memories.

The lighting in the examination room is depressingly pale, the temperature of the air conditioner is very low, the invigilator occasionally comes down and walks, and the rest of the time is sitting on the stage, the dull, stagnant air is filled with the bitterness of paper and ink. of astringency.

At the end of the last door, he put down his pen in a daze, stood up and walked out together with the others.

His examination room was in the outskirts of the city outside the Fifth Ring Road, a private high school whose name he had never heard, and it took at least two or three hours to commute.

He said many times that it was very hot, and the hotel was within two stops of the bus, and he was fine by himself, but the housekeeper insisted on coming to live with him, saying that other people’s children would be accompanied by four or five people. Now, it's already very embarrassing for him to have only himself, a bad old man, to take care of him.He couldn't help it, and finally let the old man follow.

On the eve of the exam, he had a short phone call with Qin Shen. On the phone, Qin Shen didn't say when he would be back, but only told him to calm down and take the exam well.After he hung up the phone, he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a long time, and lost sleep because of the bed for a long time.

The room was booked for him by the housekeeper. It was a suite on the top floor. The sparkling light of the swimming pool outside the room was reflected on the wall, like a light goldfish.

Goldfish in summer means good things happen, and it is a good and auspicious omen.

Candidates coming out of the teaching building gathered into a turbulent flow of people, and at their end, there were also people outside the cordon at the school gate.

The media and the waiting parents, if not for the security personnel maintaining order, the scene would have been about [-] times more chaotic than it is now.

Someone stopped in front of Xie Jingchi, he squinted his eyes, and found a blurry phantom in front of him, he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

"Give way, I want to go out." Just these few words used up all the strength in Xie Jingchi's body.

The reporter who didn't know how to read words and expressions tirelessly turned the microphone in front of him, asking him to talk about the difficulty of this year's questions and his experience after the exam.

At this time, Xie Jingchi had already seen the housekeeper and another person standing under the shade of the tree, and they also saw themselves.

Why is Qin Shen in this place?Xie Jingchi wanted to speak, but no sound came out after he opened his mouth.

The reporter's expression changed, Xie Jingchi dodged the hand he was trying to grab in confusion, and at the same time, the feeling of dizziness became more intense.

The dry and hot air rushed towards him like waves, pushing his already narrow living space, squeezing him into a very small ball.

The originally congested crowd suddenly dispersed, and many people exclaimed.

Still not understanding what happened, he just fell straight down in front of everyone.

There were people talking outside non-stop, obviously the volume wasn't very loud, but they kept digging into Xie Jingchi's mind, disturbing his mind.

"Why do you have a fever again?"

"Overwork and heatstroke are not a big problem, as long as you take a good rest, you'll be fine."

"It's my fault. I woke up several times in the middle of the night and found that the lights in his room were on. I wanted to knock on the door and tell him not to work so hard..."

……

After the annoying voice disappeared, peace did not come.

After a while, Xie Jingchi woke up from the dream screaming.

He wanted to sit up, but the slight tingling and resistance in his left hand forced him to give up the idea.

He opened his eyes a little, and saw a slender and transparent tube connecting the back of his hand to the infusion bag, slowly injecting the cold liquid into his body.

"Xie Jingchi?"

Someone pushed open the door, briefly bringing some thin light, causing Xie Jingchi to blink uncomfortably.

The door closed, and the room darkened again.

"Qin Shen?" He tentatively called that person's name.

He remembered that Qin Shen was back, this should not be his illusion.

"it's me."

It was only when Qin Shen opened his mouth to speak that he realized that his breathing was still very short.

He couldn't think of what to say, but Qin Shen sat down and brushed his wet eyes with his fingers.

"What did you dream about, why are you crying?"

"I'm so sorry."

The content of the dream is fading away at the speed of light, but the regret is still so clear.

"I'm so sorry." He repeated this sentence over and over again, "I've never regretted it so much. I dreamed of that day."

Qin Shen only extracted this key piece of information from his endless narration, "That day?"

Xie Jingchi opened his eyes, trying to recall the specific content of that nightmare.

"It was the day Jiang Xingyun died..." His breathing became short, "I dreamed that I came back from outside and found that there were many people outside my house. I walked over and lifted the white cloth covering him."

"Did you see it?" Qin Shen exerted a little force on his hand, causing him a little pain, but he didn't say it out.

He closed his eyes, "There is nothing but a dark hole."

He knows why.

Because he didn't remember Jiang Xingyun's appearance for a long time.

Dreams are projections of the real world, and there are traces of everything. Since he can't remember, how can he create something that doesn't exist out of thin air?

"Do you remember how he died?"

"Asthma . . . is asthma."

Xie Jingchi couldn't help shaking.

Jiang Xingyun's health has not been very good, and he has a habit of thinking about things. When his asthma attack, no one else was around. When the driver who picked him up was about to return, the servant went to call him downstairs and found that the body was already dead.

It's not that he didn't suspect the cause of Jiang Xingyun's death. Everyone told him that Jiang Xingyun was always in a trance during that time - he guessed that Jiang Xingyun should have discovered the matter between Fang Rujun and Xie Xuan, and even ran out of albuterol aerosol. Forget about getting new ones.If it weren't for that, it wouldn't cost a life at all.

It was probably because it was very unlucky to die at home. In the second month after Fang Rujun and the others moved in, Xie Mingyao completely renovated the second floor, erasing all traces left by the previous owner.

Jiang Xingyun's relics were all disposed of by Xie Mingyao, and he tried his best to leave only some innocuous little things.

When he grew up, he tried to find the wedding photos or ID photos of those two people, but Xie Mingyao handled them so thoroughly that he couldn't find them anywhere.

The former servants were dismissed, and the old things used were replaced. The last person Jiang Xingyun left in this world was Xie Jingchi, who was connected with him by blood.

If it wasn't because Xie Jingchi was a real person, he would probably be ruthlessly dealt with by Xie Mingyao.

Jiang Lian promised him that he would bring Jiang Xingyun's photo with him next time, but he couldn't quench his thirst, the hole in his heart always existed.

"If I went to see it, would I..." Xie Jingchi grabbed Qin Shen's sleeve and said intermittently, "I know that the person who grabbed me had good intentions, but I regret it so much, so regret it."

The nanny who grabbed him to prevent him from passing said that Jiang Xingyun's death was very grim, if Jiang Xingyun knew, he would not want him to see himself like this, but he regretted it very much.

A few days ago, Jiang Lian told him a lot about Jiang Xingyun's youth.

He tried to imagine what it must have been like, but he couldn't.

Everything was aggravating his remorse, making him regret not seeing Jiang Xingyun for the last time.

Someone covered his eyes, and he tried to pry the hand away, but someone held his fingers back.

"You still have a fever, don't think about it, sleep again, this time I will accompany you."

Qin Shen's hands were very cold, which relieved the anxiety of despair in his heart.

Seeing that he was still unwilling to close his eyes, the man reluctantly leaned over and kissed the corner of his forehead, "Be good, be good and I'll be right here."

The sudden closeness made Xie Jingchi stunned in place.

That sounds like a good deal.

"Really?" He tried not to sound too disturbed.

Qin Shen pressed his shoulders and pushed him back to the bed, "Well, really, I never regret it."

Xie Jingchi tried it, he thought it would be difficult for him to fall asleep, but in fact he fell back into the boundless darkness after a while.

This time Xie Jingchi was awakened by the light.

Through the indoor furnishings and the air conditioner with a constant temperature of 24°C, he recognized that this was the master bedroom of the hotel where he lived for two or three days.

The difference from the night before was that the curtains were drawn tightly, and the outside scene could not be seen. In addition, people who were sick had a weak sense of time. He looked around and didn't know what time it was.

——On the morning of the [-]th, the head teacher specifically emphasized that he had to go to school the next day after the exam, and it would be bad if he fell asleep directly.

He wanted to touch his mobile phone, but the clothes on his body had long been changed into light and soft pajamas, which stuck to his body like another layer of skin.

Who changed his clothes?He thought for a long time and found that he had no memory of this at all.

The brightness of the table lamp was adjusted to the darkest setting, barely illuminating a small space, but also smoked the snow-white sheets into a stale yellow like tobacco.

Qin Shen should have just taken a shower, with half-dry hair, wearing a very casual dark T-shirt on the upper body, and a small half quilt on the lower body, leaning on the head of the bed and writing emails with a notebook intently. Hear the slight click of the keyboard.

"Did it bother you?"

Realizing that he was awake, Qin Shen turned around and waved to him, motioning him to come closer.

Xie Jingchi leaned over in a daze, and Qin Shenyou tested the temperature on his forehead and behind his ears, "I still have a little fever, remember to take medicine later."

Xie Jingchi's drowsy mind didn't realize until he met Alpha's solid body under the quilt, that this posture was a bit too intimate given their current relationship.

Xie Jingchi shrank most of his face under the quilt to hide his embarrassment and shame.

In addition to the scent of detergent and softener on the quilt, there was also a little more pheromone from the Alpha beside him, which made his face even hotter.

After a while, he poked his head out quietly, "Are you still going? If you leave, you can stay here for a few days..."

Qin's deep gaze made him speechless.

Being watched like this, he was afraid that his tentative thoughts would be completely exposed in front of this person.

Just when his uneasiness was about to reach its peak, Qin Shen suddenly said, "The project is over, and I won't be leaving for now."

Ignoring that moment, the stone hanging in Xie Jingchi's heart fell down.

However, the feeling of peace of mind didn't last long, followed by an uneasiness with nowhere to go.

He remembered what Qin Shen told him was to allow him to live here until the end of his exams.

Now that his exam is over, he has no reason to stay at Qin Shen's house any longer.

Likewise, he didn't think he could go back to Qiwen Mountain.

"I've thought about what you asked me to think about." The palpitations became more and more intense, Xie Jingchi turned his head and whispered, "Before then, I have something else to tell you."

Qin Shen's attention was still on the laptop screen, "Yes."

This should mean to let him continue talking, Xie Jingchi thought in a daze.

"A few months ago, Xie Mingyao's assistant found me..." Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Shen interrupted him.

"Wait a moment."

Qin Shen hit the Enter key, then put the notebook back on the bedside table, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and poured a glass of warm water back under Xie Jingchi's anxious gaze.

"Let's talk after drinking."

Xie Jingchi sat up and drank all the water in the glass in one go.

A person with a fever has a much blunter sense of taste than usual, and he belatedly realizes that the water has some sweetness and a flowery aroma.

Honey was added to the water, and it was the kind of nectar he usually eats most.

The warm water and sugar relieved the burning pain in Xie Jingchi's body, he raised his head and looked up at Alpha in front of him.

Qin Shen was also looking at him, his handsome face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see much joy or anger.

"What did your father's assistant give you?"

"A will." Xie Jingchi seemed to be bewitched, and slowly followed his words, "Jiang Xingyun's will."

As Xie Mingyao's original business partner, Jiang Xingyun left him a large inheritance, including 5% of Xie's real estate shares and a huge trust fund. became one of the shareholders.

And it is not without conditions for him to inherit these things, the condition is that he must marry the person designated by Xie Mingyao, otherwise it will be deemed that he voluntarily renounces the right of inheritance.

"Xie Jingchi, tell me, is it because of that will that you agreed to marry me?" Qin Shen lowered his head, and there was a clear sense of cruelty in his words, "If so, the marriage contract was just a verbal agreement between my grandfather and your father. You don't have to fulfill it."

Xie Jingchi saw his weak and confused reflection in those light-colored eyes.

Qin Shen did not let him go mercifully, "You can also go back with Jiang Lian and the others. Jiang Lian told me that he is willing to be your guardian, and he also said that he has no intention of getting married and having children. As long as you are willing, you will be your guardian." His sole legal heir."

Xie Jingchi's fingers holding the corner of the quilt were clenched tightly.

Jiang Lian had already met Qin Shen, so what about the more powerful Mr. Jiang?

Must have seen it.

If they saw it, what did they say?Had they made some deal without his knowledge?

Does Qin Shen want him to go with those people?

Xie Jingchi's mind was full of various and disorganized thoughts, "No." He retorted subconsciously.

"Isn't it?" Qin Shen asked back.

Seeing how he refused to believe it, Xie Jingchi panicked.

His logical thinking ability seems to have left with the end of the exam, and he didn't have much room to organize his words, so he said whatever he thought, "I don't want to go with them, they have ignored me for so many years, It suddenly appeared at this time, and I can't believe them... I have considered all the things you said, and I am willing. I am willing. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shen's hand on his shoulder suddenly tightened.

"Xie Jingchi, is this the result of your consideration?"

He tried to nod, but his jaw was pinched, forcing him to lift his head higher.

Qin Shen's eyes slowly deepened, "I am willing to be marked by me and become my property. I have agreed in advance that you only have one chance to answer, and I will not accept going back on my word."

Xie Jingchi looked at him meekly, his black and white eyes seemed to have been soaked in water, wet, with a hint of pitifulness in them.

After a while, Xie Jingchi said in a low voice, "I...I know everything, even if it's like this, I'm... willing."

After speaking, he lowered his eyes like a prisoner waiting for trial.

The long eyelashes covered the dark pupils, filtering out a soft shadow under the gray tone light.

Sick and sleeping for too long, there are still a few red marks on his left cheek, and the corners of his eyes are also a little red.

It is a fragile, easily hurt beauty that cannot be resisted even when robbed.

Qin Shen stroked the small piece of delicate skin under his eyes, and whispered softly against his soft, slightly parted lips.

"This is a reward for you, and don't use inhibitors during this time."
