Fatty

Mother Guan poured red dates and bird's nest into Ji Jie's and Guan Tianren's bowls one by one. Seeing that the two of them were silent with each other, and the atmosphere was weird, she couldn't help persuading them: "If you two have something to say, just talk about it. How old are you? Why are you still so awkward?"

Guan Tianren looked at Ji Jie, paused, and said, "Ji Jie, come home with me today?"

"I won't go back." Ji Jie said, "I told you that I wanted to go back, so I didn't let you find me, didn't you hear?"

"...No. But you're not at home..." Guan Tianren was at a loss for words, and said, "I don't know what to do."

Ji Jie sat on the carpet and didn't speak.

It's seven o'clock in the morning, and Ji Jie procrastinated not to eat breakfast, so Mother Guan brought the bowl over here.The caretaker Tianren came so early, he probably didn't eat, so he handed him a bowl.Ji Jie took two sips on the carpet, but Guan Tianren didn't move.

Now it's time for Sun Hai to go to work.When the time came, he came down from the stairs, wearing a neat suit and looking like an insurance salesman.The same clothes can have completely different feelings on different people.

Ji Jie heard the voice and turned his head to look back.

Sun Hai saw Guan Tianren sitting next to Ji Jie.This is his former boss, it was always awkward to meet him, and he was embarrassed not to say hello, so he walked up to say hello.

Guan Tianren stood up and said politely, "Going to work?"

"..." Sun Hai felt his face burning hot, because he hadn't found a job yet, but it was hard to say it out, so he could only say vaguely, "Yes. I'm leaving."

Seeing Sun Hai just getting up, Guan's mother said enthusiastically, "Xiao Sun, come over and drink the soup before leaving."

Sun Hai hesitated and looked at Ji Jie.The owner of the house didn't have any obvious sense of rejection towards him, so he heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."

Guan Tianren sat side by side with Ji Jie, hesitating and just about to speak, Ji Jie got up and left.

You must know that although Ji Jie is awkward, he will not refuse other people's gesture of reconciliation.In the past, if Guan Tianren made a mistake, Ji Jie would bring it up without mercy.But after bringing it up, as long as Guan Tianren admits that he needs to change and admits his mistakes, Ji Jie will not be relentless.

Except this time.

Even Guan Tianren avoided Ji Jie when he took the initiative to show his favor to Ji Jie.

Guan Tianren felt helpless.

As soon as Ji Jie got up, he heard the doorbell.Since Ji Yuan is on vacation today, Sun Mei went back to her husband's house, Ji Jie thought it was Sun Mei who came, and didn't care, and walked over to open the door.

However, it was not Ji Yuan and Sun Mei who came, but Yang Huaijin.

Before Ji Jie could laugh, he saw the man behind Yang Huaijin.

The man's skin was pale and bloodless, like a seriously ill patient who stayed at home.But it smells good.That man was about ten centimeters shorter than Yang Huaijin, tall, thin and fair, with delicate features.His left hand tightly held Yang Huaijin's right hand, and the intimacy and dependence could be seen at a glance.

Ji Jie felt that the man looked familiar, but couldn't remember who he was, so he had to ask Yang Huaijin, "This is...?"

Yang Huaijin put her arms around the man's waist, put her arms in her arms, and said with a smile, "This is my lover."

Ji Jie's jaw was about to drop, and he thought to himself, aren't you married yet?Does that person look like a man but actually a woman?But thinking about it, same-sex marriages are allowed in many places abroad, so I reached out to shake hands with that person, and said, "Uh, uh. Nice to meet you, I'm Ji Jie."

The corner of the man's mouth curled up, revealing a cold smile, that smile made Ji Jie startled, and he recognized who the man was almost immediately.

The man said: "Ji Jie, you haven't changed at all."

The man reached out to shake hands with Ji Jie, but Ji Jie immediately withdrew his hand and asked in disbelief, "Don... Tang...?"

Ji Jie had long forgotten the man's name, and couldn't remember it for a while.

Yang Huaijin took back Tang Kuo's hand that was hanging in mid-air, and said:

"It's Tang Kuo, Ji Jie."

"..."

The room was exceptionally quiet.

The owner of the villa didn't speak, and the others subconsciously whispered.It wasn't until Ji Wencheng broke the deadlock and talked about the past with Yang Huaijin that the living room gradually became lively.

Yang Huaijin wanted to talk to Ji Jie several times, but Ji Jie stopped her.

Guan Tianren sat next to Ji Jie.He knew more or less about Ji Jie and Tang Kuo, and when he saw Tang Kuo coming, he rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.He thought, Yang Huaijin was so courageous that he dared to bring Tang Kuo here.

Yang Huaijin is different from Guan Tianren.He is not a rhetoric but a real action.Yang Huaijin would not tell Ji Jie that Tang Kuo and I are getting along.He will bring Tang Kuo here directly and tell you that this matter is already a certainty and cannot be changed.

When Tang Kuo was sitting on the sofa at Ji Jie's house, Yang Huaijin reached out to pat him and said with a smile, "It's clean here. Sit next to me."

Tang Kuo sat obediently next to Yang Huaijin, his legs were tightly pressed against Yang Huaijin, and they both wore rings of the same style on their hands.

Ji Wencheng poured tea for the two of them calmly and left them at home for lunch.After Yang Huaijin talked to Ji Wencheng about the past, she turned to talk to Ji Jie.

Ji Jie was not in high spirits, and his answers were rather perfunctory, always prevaricating with replies like 'um', 'yes' and 'no', and he was not very happy when he was having lunch.

Because there were guests at home, Sun Hai didn't go out to look for a job, but served tea and water for the nanny, which was considered sensible.Sun Hai was about to go out after lunch, and casually said that he was going to find a job.

Tang Kuo asked casually, "What job are you looking for?"

Sun Hai smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.

Yang Huaijin joked: "What job are you looking for, my brother and sister... Isn't Guan Tianren very good, let him help you find it."

Sun Hai was even more embarrassed, and said with a low voice, "I found it."

"...?" Yang Huaijin didn't understand why.He didn't intend to be sarcastic, he just made fun of it in good faith, but Guan Tianren found it extremely harsh when he heard it.

"... But I'm lazy. It's not suitable for... Guan Tianren's rhythm. So I haven't worked yet."

Yang Huaijin was startled: "How long have you been looking for it?"

"...It's been more than a month." Sun Hai felt ashamed, feeling that he had made a fool of himself in front of outsiders.

Tang Kuo said lightly: "Don't look for it. If you are lazy, find him a job in an agency. What do you think, Huaijin?"

Yang Huaijin nodded, smiled at Sun Hai, and said, "Don't worry about it. Tang Kuo will call later, and you can go to work tomorrow."

Sun Hai was at a loss, looked at Guan Tianren, then at Ji Jie, and finally said: "Thank you."

After lunch, Yang Huaijin and Tang Kuo were leaving.Ji Jie blocked Yang Huaijin and said to him, "You stay."

Yang Huaijin looked at Tang Kuo and said, "Okay."

The two walked into Ji Jie's room alone, and as soon as the door was closed, Ji Jie said, "Yang Huaijin, let me ask you. You left in such a hurry... Was it because... Was it because of me?"

"Because of you?"

Ji Jie's voice was irritable, and he said, "Because of my father, you asked Tang Kuo, and he let you go, right?"

Yang Huaijin smiled: "No."

"you're lying."

"...Really not." Yang Huaijin stepped forward and patted Ji Jie's head.He looked into Ji Jie's eyes and said, "Ji Jie has grown up too, people who are in their 30s now, don't say such childish things anymore."

"Then tell me, why did you leave in the first place?"

"Because I like Tang Kuo very much." Yang Huaijin said, "He doesn't want me to be too close to you. Tang Kuo's personality is quite extreme. At that time, he thought I liked you, so he was very hostile to you. Hehe."

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I left in a hurry." Yang Huaijin said.

"I do not believe."

Yang Huaijin smiled: "I told you, you don't believe me. Does it have to be what you guessed?"

Ji Jie's eyes were red, he was very irritable when he spoke, he choked up too hard, and a few thin veins were exposed on his neck, he said: "When I begged everywhere, my dad stayed in the detention center for more than a year. Later, he was suddenly released on medical parole, executed outside prison, and accepting bribes was changed to money laundering. I should have thought of it..."

Yang Huaijin looked at him helplessly, and said, "It's really not..."

"..." Ji Jie remained silent.

"If I didn't like Tang Kuo, I wouldn't have followed him." Yang Huaijin smiled, "Why are you talking about crying? Poor boy."

Ji Jie felt extremely uncomfortable.

When the barriers that his father protected him from the wind and rain were broken, and when he stepped into society, many childish ideas were ruthlessly destroyed.

The reason why Ji Jie is sad is because, if time goes back, he already knows that Yang Huaijin's departure is for Ji Wencheng, and he may, probably, not prevent Yang Huaijin from leaving.

When Ji Jie discovered the thoughts in his heart, he cast aside such a self, such a self who abandoned his friends and only cared about his own interests.

Ji Jie felt that his whole body was cold, and he thought of Ji Wencheng's helpless situation when he was in the detention center.He went crazy, determined to save his father no matter what he abandoned...

Whatever is thrown away.So including your own best brother?

How did Ji Jie become so selfish.

too disgusting.Ji Jie could only think about these words in his heart, and dared not tell Yang Huaijin at all.

When Yang Huaijin brought Tang Kuo home, Ji Jie suddenly understood something.He felt a bolt from the blue.

Yang Huaijin saw Ji Jie's dramatic emotional changes, hugged him, firmly held Ji Jie's shoulders, and said, "Look at you... Let me tell you, I really like Tang Kuo."

"..."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't bring him to see you." Yang Huaijin said, "I thank him for being able to help me Uncle Ji, but I won't make any promises of my body for it. You're thinking too strangely."

"But you hated him so much back then."

"I just want to bully him, not hate him." Yang Huaijin said, "I love him very much."

Ji Jie was silent.

"it is true."

"...It should be me apologizing to you, not you comforting me." Ji Jie's temples and the bridge of his nose turned red, even his eye sockets.

Yang Huaijin had never seen Ji Jie who lost his composure like this. He lowered his voice and said, "I should apologize, Ji Jie. I'm really sorry I haven't come to see you for so many years. Look at you. Are you a brother? Huh?"

"..."

"I ask you, are you a brother?"

Ji Jie said firmly, "Yes."

"It's a brother, so don't talk about strangers." Yang Huaijin said.He still wanted to say something, but he heard Tang Kuo calling him outside the door, about to go out, Ji Jie held his hand and said, "Eight guns..."

"Ok?"

"I'm 30 years old this year." Ji Jie said, "Why haven't I improved?"

The more he lived, the more Ji Jie became the person he hated.

He felt childish and powerless.

Obviously, he should be the pillar of the family, but now he has to rely on the help of others to survive.

Yang Huaijin smiled and said: "Who said that? You just didn't understand it for a while. I remember you once said that if I really like Tang Kuo, then you won't take care of my business. But if Tang Kuo dislikes me, you won't let me ,right?"

"Correct."

"So, look at me and Tang Kuo, do I seem to be forced?" Yang Huaijin said, "I will tell you about the two of us in the future. Today came suddenly, and you haven't realized it yet. I still have a lot to say I want to tell you, when I tell you slowly, you will understand."
