My very cool daughter-in-law

Not only did Chi Muqing get many "firsts" with Lin Junsheng's company.

Even many of the principles about human relationships and sophistication were half taught by Lin Junsheng with him.

Lin Junsheng has always called him brother. He watched the little boy who used to be only as tall as a window sill grow up little by little. In the past two years, his height has accelerated like a jointed bamboo.

The boy grew into a juvenile, almost surpassing him in height.

But in Chi Muqing's perception, he is still "brother".

He believes that this title should not be changed as the boy grows up. No matter what the little boy grows up to, the identity given by the other party should not change.

But today Lin Junsheng took the initiative to change it.

Compared with Lin Junsheng's unpredictable mood after changing his mouth, the young man is still struggling with his unclear impulse.

Chi Muqing thought much simpler.

A very straight-eyed equation appeared in his mind:

Don't call him "Brother" anymore - the identity symbol has been stripped - Lin Junsheng may not need "Brother" anymore.

And so on, that is——

Lin Junsheng doesn't need him anymore.

"..."

Chi Muqing felt that he had figured out the cause and effect.

So on this day, before Lin Junsheng figured out why he suddenly wanted to change his words, he urgently discovered that something was wrong.

His brother suddenly became like a mushroom quietly growing in the shadow of the wall, gloomy and quiet, and even more distant than usual.

"What's wrong with you?" The tall slender boy walked to "Mushroom" in two or three steps.

"Mushroom" has moved from the waiting porch to the room, and planted himself in front of his favorite window.

He didn't answer the boy's words, and played the taciturnity that a mushroom should have.

Lin Junsheng waited patiently for a while, and finally heard the man say, "You don't want me anymore."

Chi Muqing is used to speaking briefly, and often drops a word or two, which did not affect Lin Junsheng's understanding of his words in the past.

... However, the difference between "don't" and "don't need" suddenly seems subtle when the boy already has a different mind.

That was even a little ambiguous, and Lin Junsheng, who was waiting for an answer, was taken aback for a moment.

His fingertips propped on the dark wooden table felt a slight numbness for no reason, as if his fingertips had scratched the edges and corners of the wooden table that were not polished enough, and just hit the hemp sutra hidden between the slender muscles and bones.

"...How is it possible?" Lin Junsheng found his voice after being stuck for a few seconds, feeling like an octave box whose sound is not smooth enough.

He could have helped Chi Muqing make up for that misunderstanding.

He also understood very well that Chi Muqing had misunderstood his intention to change his name from calling him brother, and the few years he had known each other was enough for him to roughly understand the other's way of thinking.

—but he didn't.

Out of instinctive selfishness, Lin Junsheng let go of the ambiguity in his words.

He also followed it and said: "I won't want you."

It was a cloudy day, and the light in the house was even dimmer than that outside.

However, the young man's eyes were very bright, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in the depths of his pupils.

When he said the phrase "I won't want you", his heart thumped.

He glimpsed something behind the mist.

Lin Junsheng told Chi Muqing later that day that it was because he had grown very tall. In two years, if Chi Muqing went out with him, others would think that he was the elder brother and the other party was the elder brother. For the younger brother, if he chased each other and called "brother" like a child, he would seem to be taking advantage of others, and he would be a little embarrassed.

That's why he has to change his name from now on.

Chi Muqing accepted this explanation, and gradually got used to the boy calling him "Mu Qing" in the following time.

Lin Junsheng has always been warm and caring in front of Chi Muqing. Given his background, he also appears to be extraordinarily unassuming, and he is a little too good at taking care of others, as if he is very gentle and harmless.

But as it turns out, wolves don't really end up being more enthusiastic guard dogs just because they acted like enthusiastic puppies as kids.

The wolf is not yet an adult, and he has the hunting instinct for his favorite target. Before he understands why he does it, he first obeys the nature of wanting to do it.

Lin Junsheng's initial name change was actually an unconscious modification of his role positioning.

When Chi Muqing got used to being called by his first name, he was no longer fixed on the position of "brother", and correspondingly, Lin Junsheng was no longer "brother".

This kind of positioning modification will gradually make him only a simple "Lin Junsheng" in Chi Muqing's eyes.

A man who had passed from infancy to a teenager, and would be an adult in two years.

After nearly a year passed, Lin Junshengfang completely saw his own mind.

He added more intentional or unintentional touches to the meeting with Chi Muqing, and occasionally quietly stepped on the line between words, revealing an extraordinary intimacy.

But what is difficult is that Chi Muqing is a blank slate in terms of emotion. The ceremony and the years of loneliness have left a deep impact on him.

He is not without senses, nor is he without emotions.

It's just that his multiple senses are inactivated, and the process of emotional absorption and learning is also very slow.

Although it is not that Chi Muqing has made efforts, he is very used to accepting everything Lin Junsheng gives him, and he will learn to give back what Lin Junsheng gave him.

However, it is precisely this imitation learning that makes Lin Junsheng have to be vigilant and restrain himself from time to time, so as to avoid stepping too far when meeting.

Because Lin Junsheng was worried that his excessively exposed feelings in advance would become interference, and he was afraid that Chi Muqing would just follow the gourd, record that set of words and deeds according to the way he treated the other party, and then copy them back to him intact, The other party himself has no idea what these actions mean.

Lin Junsheng wanted something, but what he wanted was the most sincere and beautiful thing, and it was very difficult to get it.

Fortunately, he is not afraid of difficulties, and he never gives up halfway on the goal he is aiming at.

Anyway, no matter whether Chi Muqing has the opportunity to understand feelings, whether he will suddenly become enlightened one day, and give a sincere response, it will not affect Lin Junsheng's regular report to the Chi family compound.

Chi Muqing's initially empty and deserted room was already basically full of things brought by Lin Junsheng.

Their relationship was stuck at a delicate point, and it lasted for a long time without retreat or advance.

By that time, Lin Junsheng's height had completely surpassed his former "brother". One day, he inadvertently lowered his head and found that he could already see the top of Chi Muqing's hair.

Chi Muqing's hair is extremely dark black, the same as the opponent's eyelashes.

Lin Junsheng looked down at him from this angle for a long time, and felt fresh. After the freshness was over, he reached out and rubbed Chi Muqing's hair very naturally.

Chi Muqing took off his hand and commented on him: "It's not big or small."

Lin Junsheng put his hand back to his side, and smiled at Dianping: "You will start to criticize my bad behavior, this is progress."

The person who is about to leave his youth actually said nothing big or small. He would no longer lament the reversal of roles as he did when he was a child, but now he enjoys the reversal a little bit.

In the past two years, Chi Muqing seems to have become more "live", his speech is getting closer and closer to ordinary people, and his emotional changes are becoming more and more obvious, at least in front of Lin Junsheng.

These are all good signs, Lin Junsheng is happy for this person from the bottom of his heart.

"There's a prom next Friday that can't be postponed, and I may not be able to make it on time."

Lin Junsheng reported his itinerary to others in advance, and such things happened from time to time after he was 14 years old.

He is the only son of the Lin family, has a one-on-one tutor, and is still studying at a school that incorporates Western school-running concepts.

Prom, socializing, learning and training... These things occasionally make Lin Junsheng seem far away from Chi Muqing, and to Chi Muqing, they seem to be something from another world.

So in order to weaken this sense of distance, Lin Junsheng has been used to reporting his itinerary and letting the other party know his movements since he doesn't know when.

Arriving next Friday as scheduled.

The dance party had a strong social flavor, and the lights lit up the streetscape at the beginning of the night, and a three-tiered crystal chandelier was hung in the banquet hall with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

The light fell into the glass of amber wine, and the refracted light occasionally dazzled the eyes.

The band is playing dance music.

In such an environment, Lin Junsheng thought of Chi Muqing's small courtyard.

He wanted a quiet and light person in the flashy field.

"You are not paying attention." said the girl who was dancing with Lin Junsheng.

Lin Junsheng blinked slightly.

His hands stayed where they should be, following social etiquette.

The girl didn't wait for him to speak, she stepped on the notes and made a moon turn, and then said: "Your attention is not here, but I guess the person you want to see must not be here, because your eyes fell into the distance. "

This is really a smart and transparent girl.

At this kind of dance, the guests have to dance at least one song anyway, and this song is equivalent to telling the people around that you are indeed here for the dance.

After skipping this song, no matter whether it is to expand social networking, or to contact the target person, or to make an appointment with someone to hand over information somewhere in the banquet hall, it will not attract too much attention and suspicion.

The girl let Lin Junsheng successfully complete the task of "dancing a song". He brushed his face in the middle of the dance floor, clinked glasses with several people, and talked with five or six people.

Those pushing and changing glasses are necessary in the social arena, and Lin Junsheng has never been bad at drinking.

But that day the banquet was over, and when he was about to leave with his coat hooked in his arms, he felt that he seemed a little drunk today.

The night breeze is cool, and this is another year of late autumn.

Lin Junsheng held his cashmere coat in his hand but didn't want to wear it. The temperature difference inside and outside the banquet hall quickly covered the metal buttons of his cuffs with a layer of cold air. He didn't seem to feel the cold, so he stood in the cold wind for a while.

The driver waited patiently, finally waiting for him to get in the car, but got a sentence from his young master: "Drive north of the city, go to Chi's house."

"The Chi family?" The driver was obviously taken aback.

But soon afterwards, after confirming that his young master had no intention of changing his words, the driver stopped asking any more questions and drove to the north of the city.

Lin Junsheng said that he might not be able to come on time today. Chi Muqing was always good at planning for the worst. What he expected was that Lin Junsheng would definitely not come today.

So when the door of his small courtyard was not knocked, but the courtyard wall on the side of the house rustled again, and when he noticed Lin Junsheng's breath appearing nearby, Chi Muqing was a little surprised.

"good evening."

Chi Muqing walked to the side of the room and opened the window, only to see a man wrapped in cold standing outside the window.

Lin Junsheng looks like he just jumped off the wall, with a red leaf from a tree on his shoulder.

He lightly raised his hand at Chi Mu, pressed a finger to his lips, and whispered with a smile: "Be quiet, I sneaked in by bypassing the night watchman of your house."

Lin Junsheng was still wearing his formal dress for the banquet, and he left the cashmere coat in the car. When he told the driver to leave first, he asked the driver to take it back with him.

Maybe it was inconvenient for him to climb over the courtyard wall if he was dressed too neatly, so he took off the suit jacket of the dress, leaving only the shirt and vest on his upper body, and the cuffs were also untied and rolled up, revealing a slender and powerful forearm.

"Have you been drinking?" Chi Mu lightly smelled the alcohol lingering on the young man's body.

"No." Lin Junsheng said so first.

He denied it without thinking like being checked, and received a quiet and disapproving gaze from Chi Muqing.

Lin Junsheng then changed his words: "Okay, I drank too much, so I came to meet you privately."

Chi Muqing stopped when he was going to pull people.

Since the word "private meeting" was also thrown out with confidence, Young Master Lin probably really drank a little too much tonight.

Chi Mu gently stretched out his hand to pull him, and looked at Lin Junsheng quietly for a moment, seeing that Lin Junsheng had no intention of changing his words to the last sentence, he finally took the action and brought him back into the house.

Lin Junsheng was not afraid of the cold because of the smell of alcohol, but the clothes on his body were soaked in cold air, and his arms were directly exposed outside in the late autumn night. It was only after Chi Muqing led him back to the house that he realized that the young master's tie was all gone. It was loose, and the collar button was unbuttoned to the second, completely inviting Night Breeze to pour it in.

"I'll fetch hot water." Chi Muqing said, "You'll catch a cold if you continue like this."

He only put his hand on Lin Junsheng's body for a short time, and didn't stay for too long, afraid that the night wind outside his arm would still be cold.

This kind of thoughtfulness is something that Chi Muqing did not have in the past. He learned how to take care of others from the first person who took care of him.

When he wiped his face with the hot water from Chi Muqing, Lin Junsheng looked a little more awake than before.

He covered his face with a towel soaked in hot water and didn't take it off for a long time, maybe he was reflecting on what he said on the spur of the moment about private meetings.

In the silence, Chi Mu opened his mouth lightly.

He suddenly asked, "Who have you been with?"

"Huh?" Lin Junsheng's face was still under the hot towel, and his voice in response was a bit dull.

He pulled the towel off his face, exposing his eyes: "It's the people at the dance party. Several schools with higher rankings in the city have sent people there, and there are also some new talents who have risen recently. Some teachers and teachers in the school student."

Lin Junsheng directly described the general composition of the dance party, and he rubbed the temple with the corner of the still warm towel.

Chi Muqing let out a slow "oh", and his eyes fell on somewhere on him.

Lin Junsheng suddenly realized that the question seemed to have a special meaning, and there was a specific target.

"Who do you want to ask?" Lin Junsheng asked after thinking, "Is there anyone here that you want to ask carefully?"

Having said that, Lin Junsheng felt that something was wrong.

Because Chi Muqing's social circle is not that wide, and he doesn't care much about external things in terms of direction.

From this, he suspected that his guessing direction might be a bit off.

"Yes." Chi Muqing replied.

Lin Junsheng looked surprised.

He pulled off the towel completely and sat up straight on the armchair.

Chi Mu lightly looked back at Lin Junsheng's eyes, and he said, "You."

"..." Lin Junsheng was stunned by the answer.

Chi Mu approached him lightly, bent slightly beside the armchair he was sitting on, and reached out to press somewhere on the back shoulder of his shirt.

When Chi Muqing withdrew his hand, Lin Junsheng noticed that the man's pale fingertips were a little red, which was a slightly darker plum color.

He finally realized it belatedly—it turned out that there was a smear of lipstick on the back shoulder of his shirt.

"This should be..." Lin Junsheng himself was taken aback by the lipstick mark. He tried to recall for a long time before he remembered, "When the banquet was over, there were a lot of people. The young lady got bumped, and she sprained her foot behind me, and just jumped forward—”

And Lin Junsheng's reaction was already considered fast at that time. When he heard the exclamation and the sound of wind from behind, he had already turned sideways. Wearing high heels and throwing a big horse.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was so unfortunate that someone's lipstick rubbed a piece on his shirt.

It wasn't even a complete lip print, it was a mess of red.

Lin Junsheng himself didn't pay attention, he left the ball and came to a "private meeting" with someone, and was "caught" by the other party on the spot that there was lipstick on his shirt.

Speaking in such a series, it seems like they have done a very unkind thing.

It also makes people feel a little guilty for no reason.

——In particular, after hearing the origin of the lipstick mark, this "private meeting partner" still couldn't see any relief or relief on his face.

Chi Muqing remained silent, just continued to stare at the lipstick on Lin Junsheng's shoulder.

Seeing that Lin Junsheng had no choice but to take the initiative to coax people, saying: "Mu Qing, have a word with me?"

After a good while, Chi Muqing shook his head.

He frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy, but also a little confused.

He said: "I don't know how to put it, but you have this and you have a very mixed smell, I don't like it, they make me ... not very happy."

"Not too happy".

This is the most true and straightforward description he can think of in Chi Muqing's very blank emotional level.

There is an answer that Lin Junsheng has been chasing for a long time. He carefully adjusts the boundaries in contact again and again, restrains himself, and thinks about which angle to start like planning a strategy, so as to solve the emotional puzzle about the other person.

And this day, it was the night when he came to visit impulsively late at night and slipped into the small courtyard like a private meeting.

He felt that the answer had been found by himself.

"Do you know?" Lin Junsheng said to Chi Muqing when he came back from his complicated thoughts.

He stood up from the chair and faced the person whose arms were still on the back of the chair: "Every time I come here, I know that you can't leave Chi's house easily, and I can't take you out casually, and I won't be too happy. "

"Because I have an idea, and it's been around for a long time."

"What is it?" Chi Mu asked lightly.

He stared at the lights reflected in Lin Junsheng's eyes.

I heard Lin Junsheng say: "I want to abduct you."
