adoptive father training

Three years later, City A.

City A is a small city by the sea, with a small population, but because of the climate and geographical location, many tourists come here for vacation every summer.

Qingxin Bookstore is one of the many leisure bookstores in City A.

This kind of bookstore is very popular in City A. Both locals and tourists like to walk into the air-conditioned store one after another in summer, choose a book they like, and then sit in a corner with a beautiful environment Spend an afternoon leisurely with a cup of coffee.

The location of Qingxin Bookstore is good, although it is not enough to describe it as crowded, but the business is already very good among leisure bookstores.

The owner of the bookstore looks very young, but anyone who knows him knows that he is actually in his 30s this year.

The boss has a good temper. I heard that he was a teacher before, and he has a unique scholarly atmosphere.

Sometimes some customers also like to talk to the boss about his experience with a certain book, because the boss is also a book lover, and he has read almost all the books in the store.

The owner also has a golden retriever.Some people think that the way the boss looks at the dog is very lonely, and some people think that the boss is not looking at his dog, but thinking about someone.

However, no one knows the past of the boss, because every time he is asked, he always smiles without saying a word. The smile is so warm that people can't bear to ask the bottom line.

However, everyone who knows the boss knows that his dog's name is RUN.

After coming to this small seaside city for three years, Lin Zisen is already used to living alone.

In fact, he has no shortage of suitors.

I don't know if it's because Cheng Jiyao's reselection of him is so thorough that he always exudes some charming aura vaguely.

There are both female and male suitors, and some of them have good conditions, but he is unwilling to plunge into the emotional vortex where he almost loses himself.

He didn't want to try the feeling of being abandoned by his lover again, and he didn't want to take out his heart foolishly, and then was smashed to pieces on the ground.

Since Cheng Jiyao disappeared, he has taken care of everything.

This matter once moved the Ministry of Education, but because the photos can only show that he and Cheng Jiyao have a certain intimate relationship, it does not prove that they had a physical relationship.And because Cheng Jiyao himself could not be found, the matter was left alone in the end.

Although Lin Zisen was exempt from being held accountable by the law, gossip was enough to destroy a person's life.

He can't go with these humiliations, he likes men, yes, but he has his dignity.

He doesn't expect everyone to pick him up, but he also has the right to survive.

The school couldn't stay any longer, so Lin Zisen could only choose to resign.He sold the house and all the things he couldn't take with him as quickly as possible, and finally, pulling a suitcase, he came to this strange city alone.

He no longer had the courage to take up teaching or something, and his reputation in that field was dead, but he still loved books and everything that could impart knowledge.

After staying in city A for more than a month, he decided to open a leisure bookstore, where he could do some business while reading books, and also provide a warm and comfortable reading environment for others.

At the beginning, he couldn't sleep every night, and when the night was quiet, his head was full of memories between him and Cheng Jiyao.

The sweetness of the past entangled him like a poisonous snake. Whenever he woke up from the nightmare of being abandoned, the poisonous snake would viciously spit snake letters at him, as if mocking his whimsy.

In this difficult night, he could only force himself to fall asleep with the help of drugs, but every time he opened his eyes, he found that the pillow was already soaked with tears...

But after Qingxin Bookstore opened.During the day, Lin Zisen is busy buying and selling goods, or researching dessert making and drink mixing, etc.

These fields that he had barely touched before took up a lot of his energy, and he was exhausted during the day, so it was easier to fall asleep at night.

Lin Zisen once thought that he would spend his whole life guarding Qingxin Bookstore like this.However, on a Monday afternoon, a black extended Rolls Royce suddenly appeared at the door of the bookstore, breaking the hard-earned peace.

Today, the summer sun is still shining.

When the black car stopped at the door of the bookstore, the guests looked around curiously.

Isn't the rich boss who drives this kind of car a student and patronizes five-star hotels or high-end restaurants?How could you run to such a place?

After the car came to a complete stop, a man in a black suit got off the driver's seat, walked around to the back seat, and opened the door for the person sitting behind.

A pair of straight and slender legs stepped down from the car, and the man got out of the car, immediately attracting commotion from the girls watching.

"Wow! Handsome guy..."

"Is it some movie star?"

"Look! He looked our way!"

The man who got out of the car was wearing sunglasses, so he couldn't see his face clearly immediately, but the sharp-edged face and slender figure had already excited the girls. If the man took off his sunglasses again, the surrounding commotion would probably be even worse. Not necessarily violent.

The man paused outside the door, then pushed open the door of Qingxin Bookstore.

The wind chime hanging on the door made a crisp and pleasant sound. Lin Zisen, who was tallying goods inside just now, completely unaware of the changes around him, raised his head habitually, smiled and said "Welcome" to the visitor.

At the moment when the four eyes met, time seemed to freeze.

The book Lin Zisen was holding fell to the ground the moment he saw someone coming, making an abrupt muffled sound.

Xiaohui, a part-time college student, saw that the boss was stupefied, and immediately poked him behind the back, reminding him in a low voice, "Boss, what's the matter? A guest is here!"

When the man saw Lin Zisen, his expressionless face finally changed.He took off his sunglasses, looked at Lin Zisen, "Zisen, I finally found you."

The familiar voice reached Lin Zisen's ears, evoking the past that he had tried countless times but could only half-buried in his heart for three full years.

"Boss? What's wrong with you, boss? Why are you shaking so badly?" Xiao Hui realized that something was wrong with Lin Zisen, and hurried over to support him who was trembling all over.

"Zisen, I've had a hard time finding you..."

The man wanted to say something, but in the next second, Lin Zisen shook off Xiaohui's arm, knocked away the man blocking the door, and fled in embarrassment.

Seeing Lin Zisen running out, the driver who was standing outside the door wanted to stop him, but the man stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Forget it, give him some time. I came too abruptly. It's normal for him to be unable to accept it for a while."

Seeing Lin Zisen's back slowly disappearing from his sight, Cheng Jiyao sighed helplessly.

+ + + + +

Lin Zisen ran like crazy.

Although he didn't know why he fled in such a panic, but he really didn't have any mental preparations to see that person appearing in front of him again without warning.

His residence was not far from the bookstore. He leaned on the side of the road to rest for a while, and then dragged his sore legs back home.

"What did he come to see me for? Does he want to play with me like before?" Lin Zisen sat on the bed irritably and scratched his hair.

"No, I managed to forget him a little bit, and I can't let him ruin my life anymore..."

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, and immediately picked up the suitcase to pack his luggage.Cheng Jiyao knew about his bookstore, so the place where he lived must also be known.

Even if he was weak or cowardly, he just wanted to run away and not have anything to do with that man again.

Lin Zisen simply packed up some daily necessities, took his passport and ID card with him, and went out without thinking.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, Cheng Jiyao's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lin Zisen was shocked, and immediately wanted to close the door.But Cheng Jiyao's reaction was much faster than him, and he immediately reached out to block the door.

Lin Zisen's strength had never been able to compete with Cheng Jiyao, so he pushed the door open without much effort.

"Zisen, listen to me..."

"I don't listen I don't listen!"

Lin Zisen covered his ears and shook his head desperately, kept stepping back, just wanting to distance himself from Cheng Jiyao.

"I'm getting out of here! I'll never see you again!"

He couldn't stop crying anymore, the wound that was abandoned and hadn't healed was dug open again the moment he saw Cheng Jiyao, the pain was so painful that he almost couldn't even breathe.

"Let me tell you, since I have found you this time, there is no way I will let you run away from me again!" Cheng Jiyao roared. He snatched the luggage from Lin Zisen's hand, threw it outside the door and Close it firmly.

"Ah!" Lin Zisen cried out in shock, wanting to snatch the luggage back, but saw the moment the door closed, and rushed towards Cheng Jiyao frantically. "You are too much! How can you do this!"

But Lin Zisen's hands were quickly captured by Cheng Jiyao and he couldn't move. In a hurry, he bit Cheng Jiyao's shoulder.

Cheng Jiyao snorted, but he didn't let go of him. Instead, he held him tighter in his arms, greedily sucking his scent.

"Since you left without saying anything back then, why are you coming back now? Look at your car, look at what you're wearing, haven't you succeeded in America? You already have everything you want, why? Why don't you let me live? Why do you want to come back and destroy the life I have managed so hard to rebuild?"

Lin Zisen burst into tears, every word was accusing Cheng Jiyao of leaving without saying goodbye.

"Listen to me." Cheng Jiyao brought Lin Zisen into a state of mind, and fell on the bed with his arms around him. Lin Zisen couldn't see his face, but he could hear Cheng Jiyao's voice choked up.

"Back then, it was Li Jianping who followed us all the time in order to get revenge on me, and then sent those secretly taken photos to the principal and the parents' association, trying to ruin your reputation. Then, he secretly investigated my details and told the victim about my whereabouts. The man who killed my father."

"what?!"

At that time, Lin Zisen probably guessed that the leak of those intimate photos was probably done by Li Jianping, but he never expected that Li Jianping would be so ruthless that he would leak Cheng Jiyao's whereabouts to his enemies.

"then you……"

Lin Zisen hardly dared to ask - how did Cheng Jiyao escape the pursuit of those underworld enemies?

Seeing that he had calmed down and was willing to listen to his words, Cheng Jiyao gently stroked his hair, and slowly told him what happened in the past three years...

"You mean, if Lawyer Ruan didn't knock you unconscious and take you to the United States, you would probably be killed by the enemy who called you?"

Cheng Jiyao nodded, then shook his head again.

"Actually, things are not as bad as imagined. That kid Li Jianping is not that capable of contacting the higher-ups. The only ones who know the news are some small characters. They didn't dare to tell the boss before they were sure about the truth, so it took some time. investigation.

Fortunately, during the period of their investigation, you left City B and came here, and you barely revealed your whereabouts to anyone. "

Lin Zisen's eyes widened. "So I escaped a catastrophe by hitting it wrong?"

"Well. It doesn't count that I was forcibly taken away by Lawyer Ruan back then, but based on my relationship with you, if you fall into their hands, they will definitely think that you know where I am. In order to force you to tell me where I am, They... I once thought you were killed by them."

Cheng Jiyao almost couldn't continue, Lin Zisen felt his arms trembling around him.

"In New York, I lived a ridiculous life. I didn't think about making progress. I just thought about how to escape and go back to avenge you. Later, it was Lawyer Ruan who found out that you had left City B safely. I started I thought it was fake news fabricated by Lawyer Ruan to deceive me. However, I figured it out later. "

Cheng Jiyao used his fingers to trace the face he had missed day and night in the past three years, and gently kissed the faces of those he loved deeply.

"If I don't have the strength, I can only flee like I did three years ago, and I have no ability to protect you. No matter what your situation was at the time, I can't help you kill your enemies, and I can't give you a safe and stable life .

So I can only pray to God that you are safe and sound, and I tell God all day long, if you can live safely during this time, even if it takes ten or twenty years of my life, I will be there not hesitate. "

Hearing what he said, Lin Zisen felt much better in his heart. After all, there was a reason for his leaving without saying goodbye at that time, and it was not because he left in chaos.

Lin Zisen adjusted his breathing, calmed himself down, and spoke. "Jiyao, I'm very glad that you are so considerate of me. But have you ever thought that even if you have reasons for leaving, you shouldn't ignore me in the past three years.

Do you know that when I was discovered by the school about my relationship with you, I was cursed by students and parents when I walked on the road?Do you know how many psychiatrists I have seen and how many sleeping pills I have taken in the three years since you left?Now I finally let go of the previous things, but you appeared.I can forgive you, but that doesn't mean I can accept you again. "

Cheng Jiyao's heart tightened, "Zisen, I know that I have done many things wrong before, but this does not kill my relationship with you! If you give me another chance, I will never let you down."

Cheng Jiyao's eyes were very sincere, and the appeal in them made people feel distressed.

"...you go, I want to be quiet."

Lin Zisen turned his face away from looking at Cheng Jiyao. Although Cheng Jiyao's appearance touched him a lot, it also proved that he could no longer bear the pain of loss.

Cheng Jiyao is no longer the boy who almost had nothing three years ago.

In the past three years, he has had a successful career, and the people he has come into contact with are no longer the students and teachers of Nanyang No. [-] High School, let alone the inconspicuous small cities like City A.

Cheng Jiyao may be obsessed with himself, but it doesn't mean that he can still love himself as he did three years ago, after all, they have missed three years.Lin Zisen lacked confidence in himself three years ago, and three years later, facing Cheng Jiyao like this, he was even less confident.

Cheng Jiyao looked at the pale Lin Zisen, and sighed after a long time.

"I know I'm forcing you a little too hard this time, it's okay, I still have a long time, I will always wait for you." He stood up, "I'll come back to you later."

Cheng Jiyao's body temperature dissipated as he got up, Lin Zisen suddenly felt a little lost.

There was a sound of closing the door outside, and he knew that Cheng Jiyao had left, so he stared at the ceiling in a daze.

I don't know how long it took until the sky outside the window was already dark, and Lin Zisen realized that it was already dinner time because of his neck growling with hunger.

Lin Zisen got up on his own, and went into the kitchen to cook some noodles, when the doorbell rang outside.

"Who?"

Lin Zisen's heart tightened, could it be Cheng Jiyao coming again?

But a strange man's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Lin? I have your package, please sign for it."

Lin Zisen opened the door in a daze. "What package? I didn't buy anything."

The courier stood beside a pile of boxes and said with a smile, "I don't know very well either."

After Lin Zisen signed, he was busy moving those boxes home, and when he finally moved to the last one, the weight in his hands suddenly lightened, and someone had already picked up the box and moved it into the house.Before he could react, he was also pushed into the room.

"Cheng Jiyao? Are you kidding me?"

Lin Zisen saw Cheng Jiyao in a T-shirt and jeans, and couldn't help opening his mouth.He actually sneaked in when he was not paying attention when he was moving things!

"You have already taken my luggage, of course I want to live with you!"

Lin Zisen suddenly felt a pain in his head, "I didn't agree to let you live in, why did you..."

"But the hotel I booked has already checked out, and all my subordinates have been sent back. I don't have cash or credit cards with me. If you don't take me in, I can only sleep on the street."

It was impossible for Lin Zisen to believe his nonsense - this kid was definitely playing tricks.

"Sleeping on the street, just sleeping on the street, you won't die if you sleep under the flyover for a month by yourself, get out!"

Cheng Jiyao took Lin Zisen's hand pointing at the door, and pulled him into his arms.

"Baby, don't be so heartless, this time I really made up my mind not to hug the beauty! I have already cut off all my backs."

Lin Zisen scolded "Who is the baby" while pushing Cheng Jiyao's approach, but Cheng Jiyao remained unmoved.

"Hurry up, help me tidy up my things!"

He couldn't accept Cheng Jiyao's bandit behavior at all. He wanted to throw Cheng Jiyao's things out, but at this moment his stomach gurgled a few times, the voice was so loud that even Cheng Jiyao could hear it clearly, and he vaguely felt My stomach hurts a little from hunger.

"It's so late and people haven't eaten yet?" Cheng Jiyao looked at his watch, it was already nine o'clock, "I'm going to get people something to eat, you sit down first."

He circled around Lin Zisen, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and ran into the kitchen to cook noodles.

In Lin Zisen's current state, he really couldn't drive people out of the door anymore.After a while, after eating the hot noodles, the stomach pain eased a lot. He went back to the room and leaned on the bed, unable to raise his strength, and fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself being hugged tightly.

Lin Zisen blinked, looked at Cheng Jiyao's long eyelashes, and took half a minute to react.

"Cheng Jiyao, get up quickly and move all your things away!"

Cheng Jiyao's nose was pinched and he felt uncomfortable, so he opened his eyes. "Don't make trouble, I tidied up my things last night and didn't sleep until after three o'clock."

Lin Zisen turned his head and saw that all the boxes on the ground had been opened, and the contents had been taken out and scattered in every corner of his mind.

"Whoever asked you to put things away, move them away!" Lin Zisen raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, okay, let me sleep first, I'm almost exhausted." Cheng Jiyao said while pressing Lin Zisen's head to his shoulder. "be good."

Lin Zisen got angry and pinched Cheng Jiyao's face again, but he slept like a dead pig and didn't respond to his "ravages" at all.

Seeing that Jiyao's face was turning red from being pinched by him, Lin Zisen withdrew his hand.

"I absolutely don't want you to disturb my pace of life." Lin Zisen said to himself.

It was hard for him to adjust himself from the shock three years ago, and it would not be worth it if he disrupted his pace now for Cheng Jiyao.

Since Cheng Jiyao can't be driven away, it's okay for him to leave, right?It's not that he has nowhere to go.

"Ah! Too bad, I didn't go to the bookstore yesterday, what happened to RUN?" Lin Zisen suddenly thought of his dog, and hoped that Xiaohui would remember to feed it.

Lin Zisen quickly put on his clothes, ate something hastily, and went to the bookstore. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, RUN immediately threw himself on him.

"Hey, I'll take you out to play."

"Boss, you finally showed up. RUN refused to eat without seeing you." Xiao Hui was relieved when he saw Lin Zisen appear.Seeing Lin Zisen running away in a hurry yesterday, I thought something was wrong, but now it seems that nothing is wrong.

Filled with guilt, Lin Zisen put the dog on the leash for RUN, and led the excited RUN out for a walk.

After walking around the neighborhood for several times, RUN finally had enough fun before going back to the bookstore with Lin Zisen, but before entering the door, he saw an unwelcome person through the glass window.

"Cheng Jiyao, who asked you to come to my bookstore?" Lin Zisen's tone was a little bad as soon as he entered the door.

"Ah? Boss, you're back! When did you hire an extra helper? Don't even tell me."

Lin Zisen finally knew why Cheng Jiyao planned to invade his bookstore.

"Who said I invited him..." Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jiyao had already squatted down and stroked RUN's head to greet him.

"The dog is so cute, what's its name?"

Just as Xiaohui was about to answer, Lin Zisen spoke first.

"A dog has no name!"

Although these words felt like there was no silver 300 taels here, he didn't want Cheng Jiyao to know that his dog was called RUN at all, and it would be embarrassing to let him know.

Cheng Jiyao smirked and rubbed RUN's head, "It's so pitiful, the master gave you a name, so let me give you a name, okay?"

He rolled his eyes, "Just call it RUN, okay?"

As soon as Cheng Jiyao said his words, RUN heard someone calling its name, and immediately barked twice in response, and kept wagging its tail.

"Haha, it seems that you like this name very much? RUN?"

Lin Zisen watched the interaction between the man and the dog and felt blushing. He seriously suspected that Cheng Jiyao had already known the dog's name.

"Cheng Jiyao, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Because Xiaohui was present and felt embarrassed, Lin Zisen dragged Cheng Jiyao into his office and closed the door to talk.

"Cheng Jiyao, are you enough? It's not enough for you to break into my house, do you want to occupy my shop now?"

Cheng Jiyao denied it with an innocent face, "I don't want to occupy any place, only where you are there is the meaning of my existence! If you are not at home, there is no home!"

Lin Zisen's heart was tightened by what he said, and he suddenly realized that he adopted RUN at the time because he longed for a home and his pitiful eyes were very similar to Cheng Jiyao's, so he brought RUN home in the shelter.

He knows Cheng Jiyao's life experience better than anyone else, and the existence of a family cannot be replaced by Cheng Jiyao's current wealth and status.

However, does the self who was scarred three years ago still have the ability to give people happiness?

Although Lin Zisen was soft-hearted, he did not intend to give in on this point.

"Well, can you just treat me as a part-time worker here? I swear that I will absolutely obediently not quarrel with you, as long as I can take care of you."

Lin Zisen couldn't hold him back, so he could only agree to let him work part-time in the bookstore, but at any time, he was not allowed to disclose their relationship to anyone, and he was not allowed to touch anything.

With Lin Zisen's consent, Cheng Jiyao kissed him hard on the cheek a few times.

"Really, I fouled just after I finished talking to you!"

Lin Zisen slapped his arm away vigorously, Cheng Jiyao smirked while crying out in pain, his face was filled with happiness.

"Baby Zisen, cook sweet and sour pork ribs for me tonight! I really trust your craftsmanship."

"It's a good idea, I'll make it for the dog and not for you!" Lin Zisen glared at him.

Cheng Jiyao had a bitter face, "Baby, you are so cruel, do you want me to grab food from RUN?"

A funny scene of a man and a dog fighting for food came to Lin Zisen's mind, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Cheng Jiyao stared blankly at this long-lost smile, feeling a little obsessed——

This time he caught Lin Zisen, he will never let go again!

"What are you looking at, go out to work for me!" Lin Zisen was embarrassed by his look, and hurriedly pushed him out of the small office.

"Okay, I'll go out to carry books now. This is stomach medicine, remember to take it!" Cheng Jiyao gave him a bottle of stomach medicine before leaving the office.

After driving the people out, Lin Zisen leaned his back against the door panel and looked at the medicine bottle in his hand.

It was warm, with Cheng Jiyao's temperature still remaining.
