In the golden cage

When Ji Shaoting woke up the next morning, he found two pigeons parked on the railing of the balcony.

Ji Shaoting still had the croissants supplied on the plane stuffed in his backpack.Li Chen booked a first-class seat for him, and the food was too rich, Ji Shaoting couldn't finish it, and it felt like a waste to lose it, so he put it in his backpack.

He remembered this when he saw the pigeons, rubbed his hair like a bird's nest, got out of bed barefoot, opened the glass door of the balcony a small crack, broke the bread and threw it out.

The two pigeons twisted their necks that reflected the turquoise light, let out a cooing sound from the depths of their throats, and then fluttered down to the tiled floor.

Ji Shaoting squatted in the room, watching the pigeons pecking at the bread crumbs through the glass.The sky has cleared, this is his second day by Li Chen's side.

In the summer morning, there are still a few cool breezes that come in through the cracks in the door.The location of Li's residence has a very good view. Ji Shaoting's eyes can bypass the commercial buildings in the city center and reach the blue and black mountains in the distance, undulating like a curtain on the edge of the morning sky.

Ji Shaoting still felt that it was very unreal, and his thoughts and thoughts faded away like ink dripping into water.Suddenly his house was broken, and suddenly Li Chen descended from the sky like a savior, repairing his collapsed life again.

Ji Shaoting had a psychological assessment in college to participate in humanitarian relief work, and the report showed that his resilience and crisis handling abilities were very average.

This is very accurate, Ji Shaoting looked back at the sundries all over the floor, and the suitcase spread in the corner, thinking that he didn't even have the courage to pack it.

It has been several months since he met Li Chen and lived in his house now, but he has not yet prepared himself mentally for an unknown period of masked life, with Li Chen as an ex-lover lover.

Ji Shaoting has never been in a serious relationship, so he does have an ignorant liking, but it is more like a kind of worship for an outstanding person.

Ji Shaoting didn't know whether he was gay or straight, but being with Li Chen didn't disgust him.Same-sex marriage has been legal for many years, and many concepts are different today. His mother even prefers to ask him to find a male partner who can protect him and pamper him.

But although Li Chen doesn't dislike Ji Shaoting, he often makes him breathless.

Perhaps compared to gender, Ji Shaoting pays more attention to equal status.A successful entrepreneur like Li Chen can give people a strong sense of oppression just by his name, and he has great kindness to Ji's family, so he will always be above Ji Shaoting, so that Ji Shaoting will always be shorter in front of him.

But it's superfluous to ponder these things, he and Li Chen are not partners in the first place, and will not develop into such a relationship.

Ji Shaoting couldn't help but laugh at himself for thinking wildly, even thinking about whether Li Chen is suitable for falling in love with him.They were unequal from the very beginning of their encounter: a social elite in a suit and leather shoes parked his car on the side of the street, walked over with shiny leather shoes, and stopped in front of him condescendingly.

Ji Shaoting didn't have time to wipe away his tears, and looked up to Li Chen's eyes in despair.

Such a disparity is not suitable for producing love at all, but only suitable for producing orders and obedience.

The hour hand points to seven, Li Chen should have returned from exercise, Ji Shaoting stood up and locked the glass door.His hair was soft and smooth, and he walked into the bathroom with a mess of hair, and walked out neatly in a short time.

After feeding the little pigeons, you have to feed the big boss.

After exercising, protein needs to be supplemented. Li Chen explained yesterday that there is chicken breast in the refrigerator.His breakfast is the same as Ji Shaoting's, he usually eats western style, which saves Ji Shaoting some snacks.

Ji Shaoting's real character is actually slightly different from Li Chen's fantasy.

Li Chen thought that Ji Shaoting was obedient and obedient, just because he was Li Chen and his benefactor, so of course Ji Shaoting had to be docile, and he didn't dare to complain.Li Chen thought that Ji Shaoting was able to endure hardships, although this was true, but after all Ji Shaoting grew up pampered, and he still had the squeamishness of a young master in every detail.

For example, he doesn't know how to cook.

Of course he understands side dishes like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but obviously he can't use side dishes to dismiss Li Chen.

So he asked Li Chen if he could allow him to enroll in a cooking class. Hearing that the knife continued to be scratched in the porcelain plate, Li Chen didn't look up at Ji Shaoting, "Can't enroll in online classes?"

"For skill-based courses, the effectiveness of reporting to entities will be higher." Who knows what the right amount is.

Li Chen's brows gathered together, the air was quiet for a while, Ji Shaoting pondered whether it meant to allow or not.It's not that he doesn't know how to read words, but it's much more difficult to figure out Li Chen's expression than usual, and he doesn't dare to look him directly.

Finally Li Chen gave the answer: "I'll hire you a chef."

"Ah?" Ji Shaoting couldn't help being surprised, "It doesn't matter..."

"The restaurant I go to more often," Li Chen interrupted, "You learn from their methods. I may not like what you learn outside."

This reason was sound and impeccable, Ji Shaoting had no choice but to accept it, but secretly regretted that he couldn't use it to meet people who could talk.

He couldn't examine Li Chen's desire for monopoly that was dormant behind this reason.This can't be regarded as his stupidity, because even Li Chen himself didn't realize how much he didn't want Ji Shaoting to leave his designated area, which would bring safety hazards, such as coveted eyes from others.

Li Chen is a very strong man at work, and the projects he likes are definitely his projects, and others can't even hope to get a piece of the pie, and it's the same when it comes to dealing with Ji Shaoting.

Ji Shaoting put the dishes into the dishwasher one by one, heard the sound of the door closing when Li Chen left, looked up from the window and watched him drive out of the courtyard, feeling very disappointed.

Li Chen was going to work, but he didn't have a job now - not entirely true, he was now a servant.

But the situation is even worse than that of the servants. Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, they are not allowed to leave the area marked by Li Chen, their social life is almost zero, and the only focus of life is Li Chen.He didn't know how long this kind of life would last, but he knew he didn't like it.

It's just that if you don't like him, you have to bear it.

Ji Shaoting dialed the number to inform his family of good news and bad news, but he didn't say a word about the life that was tantamount to imprisonment, only saying that everything was fine.When he said this, he was lying on the King Size bed arranged for him by Li Chen. The front and rear cameras flipped over, and all the gorgeous decorations in the room were captured in the lens, which added strong persuasiveness to his words.

Ji's mother was full of comfort and said, "Mr. Li is really a good man."

"Yes." Ji Shaoting thought to himself, indeed, it's just that he has a strong desire to control.

"Then you must listen to Mr. Li carefully and do him a favor."

"I remember it all." Ji Shaoting turned sideways, looked into the phone and asked, "Where's my brother?"

"I went out with your father to meet clients. Mr. Li helped our company, and now the funds are turning around again. Tingting, you really have to thank him, and you will do whatever he tells you, you know? "

"I know it," Ji Shaoting only showed his petty temper to his family members, and complained while being coquettish, "I'm more sincere than you, Mr. Li is so fierce."

"Nonsense!" Ji's mother immediately dismissed, "I read in the newspaper that he is very handsome."

"He smiled commercially in the newspaper, but he didn't smile at me." Ji Shaoting didn't realize until after he finished speaking, it turned out that he had been grudges about this matter all along.Li Chen never smiled at him.

Ji Shaoting chatted with his mother about other things. After the call ended, he switched off the music software, picked up a soundtrack of a movie and played it. He lay down and stared at the crystal chandelier for a while, and then slowly got up to pack his luggage. .

The bright sunshine brightened the room, and Ji Shaoting embedded his belongings into the new residence one by one.In this new abode, his time was worthless, and he was free to squander large chunks of it.

Outside the window, the trade center stands tall, and Li Chen's Ming'an Real Estate is located on the highest floor of the center.Ji Shaoting felt that Li Chen and him were on two sides of the scale, one high and the other low, the higher Li Chen was, the lower he would be.

After Ji Shaoting tidied up the room, he waited for the sleepiness in the summer noon, the time counted down the seconds, the light on the wall slowly flowed to the west, and the room was very dark when he woke up.
