In the golden cage

This sentence came even more unexpectedly than tonight's one. Ji Shaoting blinked, but didn't realize it: "Huh?"

"Kiss you," Li Chen repeated the key words, paused, and then said, "Just one moment, I promise."

Ji Shaoting stared at him with earnest eyes, still in the clouds and mist, didn't understand the nonsensical sentence, and didn't know that he had already nodded in a daze.

It was like going back to the night of the first kiss again.

With his eyes closed, Ji Shaoting felt the warm breath brushing over his cheeks and the corners of his mouth, and his breath once again sneaked into Li Chen's healthy male body smell, which was similar to sunlight, mixed with sweat, and had a slight fishy smell, which could not be described as fragrant. , but it smells good.

Ji Shaoting forgot for a moment, why he found the taste unbearable at the beginning, disgusted to the point that his throat and stomach twitched, and he could not stop vomiting.

Li Chen said he would only kiss once, and he really only kissed once, two lips were printed on him, he pecked lightly, then quickly returned to his original position, tightly against the back of the car seat.

Knowing that if she kissed for a few more seconds, she would definitely be unable to hold back, and pushed her tongue in, hooking Ji Shaoting in a lingering lingering relationship.

The soft touch on the lips has disappeared, but Ji Shaoting's eyes are still closed, he didn't expect the kiss to end so quickly.

It was Li Chen who called him "Tingting, it's ok", and he opened his eyes again, taking the scene in the car seat into his eyelids again.

There are completely different emotions blending between the two, which are slender and soft warmth, a desire to give and receive love.

Li Chen's smell was still lingering on the tip of his nose, and Ji Shaoting's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.He turned around, rolled down the car window an inch, took a few breaths of fresh air, and said in a calm tone, "You seem to be able to control it now."

"I think I'll be able to control it in the future," Li Chen replied, "In fact, that night... I kissed you so suddenly because I didn't have the confidence."

He has no sense of security, cannot feel Ji Shaoting's love, and is suspended in mid-air without touching the ground, with nothing to rely on.

But now because of him, Ji Shaoting actually gets angry with his brother, speaks harshly, and interrupts him saying "enough".

Nothing could make Li Chen more confident than this. Immediately, there was something real on the soles of his feet, which reattached to the ground, long-term and stable.

Ji Linzhang is Ji Shaoting's closest person in the world, even closer than his parents.

"I've always been jealous of your brother," Li Chen looked at the front of the car, "I'm jealous that he can be with you from childhood to adulthood, but I only met you in the early thirties; I'm jealous that you will joke with him, but you will always be with me." Respect like a dummy. Sometimes—I know it's unwarranted, but sometimes, I do think your brother is a rival."

Ji Shaoting's heart trembled, and a strange feeling rose from the depths of his body.

"It's your brother that you open and close," Li Chen continued, "I find it harsh every time I hear it. The night I kissed you, you made a video call with your brother, and I felt very uncomfortable when I was listening. For three months, you haven't heard from me at all, but you've been chatting affectionately with him every night."

So it was like this, Ji Shaoting thought.

In fact, every time Li Chen got sick, it was not for no reason, but Ji Shaoting failed to find out the root cause, and thought it was Li Chen's nature, unreasonable and unpredictable.

There was a period of silence in the air, and then he spoke again, which was Li Chen's straightforward self-analysis, four words: "I am very jealous."

The most difficult thing for a person is to understand himself, and Li Chen is getting to know himself better and better.

"My brother said that you are seeing a doctor," Ji Shaoting asked softly, "did the doctor ask you to speak out your thoughts during counseling?"

Li Chen drooped his eyelids, but was still stubborn: "Tingting, I'm not sick, I haven't been diagnosed."

Ji Shaoting looked at him, thinking that his appearance was somewhat similar to his before.The mouth is hard, but also a little cute.

Li Chen still couldn't accept his identity as a mental patient, so Ji Shaoting avoided the serious ones and ignored them: "I just want to ask, do you often say what you think in your heart?"

The answer is of course affirmative. In the conversation between Li Chen and Dr. Li, Li Chen was the one who spoke for many times, but Li Chen still evaded: "Why are you asking this?"

"Because," Ji Shaoting leaned over suddenly, narrowed the distance between him and Li Chen, and then looked into his eyes, "I think you have made great progress."

There is a soft light in Ji Shaoting's eyes, very thin, but it can illuminate everything.

"You seldom reveal anything to me," he said. "If you don't like a dish, I have to guess from the number of times you move your chopsticks. I should have found out. The time at your residence in England What should be discovered, you have been able to express your true thoughts, but I have never been able to do this well."

Every word of Ji Shaoting seemed to come out of his belly, carrying the warmth of his internal organs: "I am still timid. I used to only think of you as a benefactor, even though I found out that there was a problem between us very early. , and dare not mention it to you."

When Li Chen and Ji Linzhang had a misunderstanding in front of their house, Ji Shaoting said that he had sent Li Chen a message, but Li Chen didn't read it.

His rhetoric at that time was: Ji Shaoting never sent him a message, so he didn't read it.

This sentence is indeed Li Chen's arrogance, but at the same time it also reveals the core problem between them: lack of communication.

If Ji Shaoting didn't post a message, Li Chen wouldn't read it.If Ji Shaoting didn't tell, Li Chen wouldn't know.

After all, Li Chen is such a dull person, it will take more than half a year to realize that he loves his destined other half.

"Then from today onwards, I will tell you what I really think." Ji Shaoting took a deep breath, and then his face changed—it turned out to be fierce.

He stared at Li Chen, and hit the acupuncture point with one shot: "You think of me and my brother like this, it makes me feel sick."

This was a very obvious rebuke, but Li Chen not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but also felt light in his chest.

Ji Shaoting's words of accusation continued: "You can treat my brother as anything, and you are not allowed to treat him as a rival in love. How can my brother and I have feelings other than family? Impossible. Even if my brother is the only man left in this world , he is still my brother, I believe my brother must think so too."

"Well," Li Chen nodded, "OK."

Ji Shaoting cut off his delusion completely with just a few words, in fact, it would be better if he made it clear early in the morning, and asking Ji Shaoting for these few words in the morning would save him countless days and nights of cranky thinking.

I have grown up for so many years, but I still don't know the importance of communication.

And obviously Ji Shaoting also reflected in this way, he stretched out his little finger to Li Chen: "Let's make an agreement, and I will speak out what I think in the future."

Li Chen stared fixedly at this pale finger, and said hello slowly and solemnly.

He also stretched out his little finger, hooked Ji Shaoting, curled up, entangled, and made a promise.

"Then, fulfill the promise," Li Chen explained exactly what was on his mind in the next second, "Tingting, can I kiss you again?"

"So, to be honest," Ji Shaoting turned his head and looked in front of the car, with a triumphant smile on his lips, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
