In the golden cage

As the days passed, London entered the summer of long days and short nights. The heat in a room was stagnant, and it would be hot to death without rain.

Ji Shaoting's rented house does not have an air conditioner, but fortunately he is cold, and he is more afraid of the cold than the heat, so he doesn't feel too bad.

He still didn't tell Sally about Li Chen, not because he didn't trust him, but because he couldn't tell.

Of course, it can also be vaguely mentioned, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and every detail of those details is contributing to today's situation. If any part of the story is missing, the logic of the story cannot be established, so Ji Shaoting finally remained silent. .

He didn't tell anyone that he and Li Chen were just acting in the beginning, but now the stage collapsed, burying the love that was comparable to a murderous monster.

Ji Shaoting handles his disclosure more carefully, especially when facing Berg.

As Sally said, he is very smart, so in the past two months, he has been beating around the bush, chatting with Ji Shaoting about Li Chen.Ji Shaoting couldn't help being frightened at this time, for fear of telling Berg that his logic was not self-consistent.

But in the end, Berg, like Sally, did not disregard Ji Shaoting's wishes and must dig out the cause and effect from him.

Except for Li Chen, it seems that no one around Ji Shaoting would disrespect his ideas, insist on asking him aggressively, and pull everything he wants to know out of his mouth.

It is also this point that makes Li Chen the most special person in Ji Shaoting's life, although it is the most special in a negative sense.

Forgetting Li Chen has thus become extremely difficult.

It is impossible for Li Chen to forget Ji Shaoting.

According to the arrangement of the graduation ceremony of Harria's Academy of Fine Arts over the years, this year's ceremony should also be at the end of June.Li Chen booked a hotel near the Academy of Fine Arts in May, and when he arrived at the place in early June, the academy also put up a graduation banner, marking the date and time of the ceremony.

June 29th, at nine o'clock in the evening.

That night Li Chen rented a car and sat in the driver's seat hiding in the dark.The college is built of red bricks in a classical European style. The copper-colored gate has only been newly painted, shining brightly under the light of two gate lamps.

Li Chen saw Ji Shaoting at a glance.

In fact, it is not considered to be seen. Although there are street lamps every few meters on this street, the night is dark after all. In addition, Ji Shaoting came from the end of the street. Chen just recognized him.

When Ji Shaoting got closer, Li Chen finally saw him with his own eyes. He was dressed in a formal suit with a tie, blue and white stripes, and his hair was combed with hairspray. He was unbelievably handsome.

Except for the wedding day, Li Chen has never seen Ji Shaoting dressed so grandly.

A shudder rose from Li Chen's bone marrow, causing his entire expression to tremble, and all the images captured by his eyes shook out afterimages, and the light and color changed unpredictably.Li Chen seemed to see the color of red bricks reflected by those two lamps, making the whole world red.

And Ji Shaoting is in it, clear and eye-catching, the only truth in this world.

Before entering the school gate, Ji Shaoting stopped suddenly.

He stood there unexpectedly, then looked left and right, and finally looked at the shadow of Li Chen's car.

For a moment, Li Chen wanted to get off the car and rush forward, hugging Ji Shaoting tightly, and then the physical boundaries of each other merged, there is no so-called territory anymore, there is no limit, no barrier, no separation, and we will be together forever.

But he finally controlled the violent outburst of emotion and stopped his robbery.

Li Chen tried his best to fix himself on the car seat, repeated the three words "no" over and over again in a low voice, as if in a daze, going back and forth endlessly.

No no no no.

Ting Ting will be frightened.

Li Chen didn't tell anyone about coming to London, including Dr. Li.Dr. Li is a good doctor who will give [-]% of his heart to the patient's condition, that's why Li Chen chose to keep it secret: he was worried that Dr. Li would prevent him from looking for Ji Shaoting out of consideration for his treatment progress.

After all, Ji Shaoting is where his knot lies and the source of all his emotions.Just look at his current physical reaction: the whole person is leaning back and gasping for breath, his heartbeat is about to beat his chest.

A few more of these moments and he might die.

Li Chen gradually calmed down after Ji Shaoting entered the school.Ji Shaoting did not discover Li Chen's existence in the end, firstly because they were still separated by a certain distance, secondly, and most importantly, he did not expect Li Chen to appear here at this very moment.

Li Chen's breathing gradually stopped, but it took a long time for his heartbeat to slow down. After he recovered about [-]% of normal, he took out a note card from his wallet.

It was the warning he wrote to himself before he came:

Tingting cannot be harmed.

The chances of him getting it back are very small, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.If he loses Ji Shaoting again, he will really lose everything, and his life will immediately become a life sentence.It is indeed dead without a whole body, because Ji Shaoting is his other half of the soul.

Li Chen sat empty in the driver's seat, time seemed to freeze every minute and every second, flowing extremely slowly.When the ceremony finally ended and the crowd filed out, Li Chen only felt that a whole century was nothing more than that.

He easily found Ji Shaoting from the crowd.Ji Shaoting is in a good mood tonight, his whole smile is in full bloom.

Li Chen didn't know that Harria graduated with No.1 grade.She is talented, has experienced war, and her artistic talent has been sublimated in the tragic tragedy. In fact, No.1 has long been in her pocket.

Ji Shaoting treats Harria like a father treats his daughter, and is extremely proud of her achievements.

So he didn't intend to drag Harria for too long, and left after leaving enough photos.She's made a lot of new friends at school, and this night is for the girls.

Ji Shaoting's residence is not close to the Academy of Fine Arts, but he is quite happy to take a walk, enjoying the gentle summer breeze blowing on his cheeks when the temperature drops at night.

At the same time, he also needs time to calm down his high emotions.He still played back the picture of Harria delivering a speech on stage on behalf of the graduates in his mind. He was very proud and excited, and he might not be able to fall asleep easily when he went back like this.

But when these pride and excitement were blown away by the summer wind, what followed was not the mild and long-lasting pleasure that Ji Shaoting wanted, but a completely opposite terrifying feeling:

frightened.

Because he found that there seemed to be a car behind him, the car that he felt something was wrong before he entered the school.

It was walking slowly at his pace at the moment, clenching tightly, following him around every corner.
