In the golden cage

Turning back the time to 3 minutes ago, Ji Shaoting smiled and said that he would not disturb Li Chen's work, and he went downstairs to find something to eat.

Sitting at the desk, Li Chen took Ji Shaoting's hand and asked, "How many desserts have you eaten since afternoon? Why did you become so greedy when you got home?"

"My mother's craftsmanship is good!" This sentence is Ji Shaoting's sincere words, "If you don't like sweets, of course you won't be able to appreciate them."

Ji Shaoting, who returned to her natal family, was much more lively, and Li Chen liked it to death.He couldn't help but kissed the back of Ji Shaoting's hand and told him to go quickly: "Come back and brush your teeth after eating, don't eat any more, your sugar intake today is seriously over the limit."

These sweet words almost split Ji Shaoting's heart into two halves, one half was the kind of ecstasy of being favored, and the other half was an unspeakable disgust.Ji Shaoting tried his best to feel unwell, hurriedly answered, and left the room quickly.

Li Chen didn't think too much, just thought he was in a hurry to eat.

After the door closed, he belatedly realized that Ji Shaoting was only wearing a thin unlined garment.He was so spoiled thinking how this man was so greedy that he forgot to be afraid of the cold, took his coat and followed out of the corridor.

However, Ji Shaoting's footsteps did not go in the direction of the stairs, but turned to the other side.

Li Chen had a hunch that there was a clue, and when Ji Shaoting disappeared by the door, he remembered that he went to his brother's room.

Speaking of which, Li Chen also admits that he is nervous, but he does have hostility towards Ji Linzhang, which belongs to the kind of hostility of a rival in love.

Maybe it was because of a misunderstanding when we first met, or maybe it was because of the conversation in the car.Ji Linzhang said that he took care of Ji Shaoting since he was a child, and he knew Ji Shaoting well between the lines, and Li Chen couldn't stop being jealous.

He really doesn't have a high opinion of Ji Linzhang, so when he saw this situation, his first reaction was to be vigilant.

He followed quietly to the door of Ji Linzhang's room. He originally wanted to knock on the door and ask Ji Shaoting directly what he wanted to do with his brother at such a late hour. First, he heard Ji Shaoting's voice from inside:

"I'm hoping that Mr. Li and I will be acting like this. Talk to Mom about it, it's impossible."

Li Chen was taken aback, his cheeks stretched out with blue veins.

No matter how smacking this sentence is, it has a bad meaning. He suddenly didn't dare to think about it, and was stretched infinitely for a second.

And after this infinity ended, he heard Ji Shaoting continue to clarify the meaning for him: "I told you, Mr. Li is the type that I don't even want to make friends with."

Li Chen's ears buzzed, and he was frozen in place.

The conversation inside hadn't ended yet, Ji Linzhang said he understood, and asked Ji Shaoting why he was walking around in only one pajamas in a tone mixed with scolding and petting that only family members would have: "You won't die from the cold."

Ji Shaoting said: "I'm in a hurry to come out, it's really uncomfortable to be with him."

It was only then that Li Chen recalled that Ji Shaoting's rush was not because of his greed, but because he wanted to escape.

This big scene was turned upside down, and he, Li Chen, was undoubtedly a buffoon. The Ji family brothers in the audience in the dark were pointing fingers at him, and Li Chen felt ashamed.

There are only two ways to rescue yourself from this situation, either to kill the net and open the door to question sharply, or to quietly leave the scene as if nothing happened.Li Chen thought he would choose the first option, but in reality he couldn't move.

Ji Shaoting's disgust is a shot of the most powerful poison, which pierced into his veins unexpectedly, traveled around with the blood flow, corroded his internal organs, and left him with no bones.

He heard Ji Linzhang ask Ji Shaoting to go to bed first to warm up: "I'll reply to an email, and I'll tell you something important later."

Ji Shaoting snuggled into the quilt, and asked Li Chen playfully, "Boss Ji, what are you doing? You're so mysterious."

It was indeed mysterious, because Li Chen couldn't hear the next conversation. They lowered the volume, not because they realized that the walls have ears, but because of the inertia when discussing important matters.

Li Chen was still wearing Ji Shaoting's overcoat on his forearm, standing empty in front of the door, completely forgetting the way in the future.

He didn't remember how he got back into the room, nor did he remember when Ji Shaoting entered the door. "Achen," he still used this nickname that symbolizes intimacy, "Have you finished reading the document? Why have you been sitting in a daze?"

Li Chen raised his eyes from the seat, and showed Ji Shaoting a happy smile last time: "I'm really full this time, I've finished the rest of the red bean bread."

A big lie is nothing more than that.

He knows how to act so well, how can he fall behind? Li Chen felt the muscles at the corners of his mouth pulled, that kind of smile that only stayed in the flesh: "Is it delicious?"

It's just that he is not as good as Ji Shaoting in this aspect, the three words are full of strange sounds.

Fortunately, Ji Shaoting didn't have the energy to suspect the strange tone in Li Chen's words, he smiled back: "Of course."

Li Chen stood up and leaned close to Ji Shaoting, only then did he realize that his eye sockets were slightly red, and the eyelashes at the corners of his eyes were sticking to his eyelids, as if he had cried.

A very bad wish suddenly sprouted in Li Chen's heart, he hoped that Ji Shaoting would cry because of him.

Obviously being with him made him extremely uncomfortable, and he was tortured day and night, but he couldn't leave because of the shackles of kindness.Li Chen hoped that this was the reason why Ji Shaoting was crying, proving that he was the only one who could make Ji Shaoting cry.No one else, only him, Li Chen.

But this distorted happiness quickly disappeared, and Li Chen's whole heart was filled with negative emotions such as unwillingness, jealousy, grievance, and anger.

Ji Shaoting never acted like a baby to himself, and he seldom even talked about himself.Li Chen found out that he was a premature baby during the dinner with his family.

Don't act like a baby, let alone cry.

It was only then that Li Chen realized that Ji Shaoting would never show his true feelings to him unless he was greatly stimulated, just like how he acted like a baby and cried to his brother.

All he possessed from the beginning to the end was Ji Shaoting who behaved like a dummy, his body, and his soul had never had any intersection with him.

This scene tonight is not only a loss of face, but also a loss of soul.Ji Shaoting knows how to play tricks, tricking Li Chen into thinking that he and he have settled their feud, and they can live better from now on.

Thinking of Ji Shaoting's words is equivalent to being punished.

Li Chen was lying on the bed, waiting for the sky to light up one by one.Ji Shaoting was sleeping beside him, his face was peaceful, with a fairytale-like purity.

Taking advantage of the newly awakened sky, Li Chen bent his knuckles and gently caressed Ji Shaoting's side face, and when he reached the corner of his jaw, he suddenly developed a strong force, wanting to grab the fair neck.It seems that it has to be like this, Ji Shaoting has to go through his pain, so that he can let go of the hatred in his heart.

But at the same time, Li Chen knew that he must not be willing to part with it.

He never wanted to hurt Ji Shaoting, never wanted him to cry for himself.

He has already provided Ji Shaoting with his ultimate gift, there is nothing left, no way out, either he will die alone or he has to, Ji Shaoting is still dissatisfied.

The light from the sky filtered in from behind the heavy curtains.Li Chen turned to the ceiling and told himself that there was only one week anyway.

They only stay here for a week, and the mother needs to return to school in advance to prepare for the resumption of classes. After this week is over, they will return to the simplest two-person relationship without any third-party intervention.

He will have a good talk with Ji Shaoting, and then clear up the past again, and what has collapsed will be repaired.If the target is Ji Shaoting, he can't bow down, just like that apology.

He can give Ji Shaoting whatever he wants, he is rich and powerful, and he is afraid that there is something he can't afford.

Ji Shaoting will be satisfied in the end.

Li Chen was almost deceiving himself to comfort himself, they were a match made in heaven, every hug was like a mortise and tenon fit, and the corners and corners were all in place.Tonight is just a little bit of friction, which will not hinder their happy ending.

Because he really loves Ji Shaoting more than anything else.
