reverse trapping

Cheng Mu's lips trembled slightly. The more he tried to explain, the more confused his language logic became, and he couldn't make sense of it at all.

Shen Jinzhi walked towards the door with a faint smile, took Cheng Muze's hand and pulled it behind him: "Xiaojiao, sit on the sofa for a while, I'll take someone to change clothes first."

Hearing the intimate address of the two, Cheng Mu's eyes darkened.

He didn't have much strength, so he followed Shen Jinzhi's movements and walked into the bedroom.

The temperature of Shen Jinzhi's palm was very high, soothing his stiff fingers.

The two walked to the far right of the closet, and Shen Jinzhi let go of his hand.

Not long after, Shen Jinzhi took out a set of clothes and handed it to Cheng Muze, saying, "Xiaojiao is a girl, we'd better change into decent clothes."

Cheng Mu's eyes fell, falling on the clothes in Shen Jinzhi's hands.

It was a well-matched set of clothes. The upper body was a milky white sweater with blue and gray grid embroidered edges, and the lower body was crisp jeans. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't match Shen Jinzhi's usual dressing style.

Cheng Mu took the clothes in a daze, and walked in the opposite direction of Shen Jinzhi's field of vision.

The blazing sunlight was filtered by the blackout curtains, gently embracing the clothes in Cheng Muze's hands.

Then came Shen Jinzhi's soft voice: "You can just change, I will turn my back to you."

Cheng Muze's mood had already fallen below the average line, and he didn't respond.

Cheng Mu stopped after changing his clothes, the creaking sound of clothes rubbing in the room reminded him of the fact that Shen Jinzhi hadn't dressed yet.

He waited in silence, staring blankly at the wall.

Beyond a wall, hides his unspeakable heart knot.

He had already successfully persuaded himself to let go of his obsession with reuniting with Chen Jiao, and it would be good if she regressed until she could find happiness, but when they met again, he was still frustrated.

It turns out that many things can't be let go with a determined mind, and more often they are covered up by self-deception.

"Have you changed?"

In the silence, Shen Jinzhi asked aloud.

Cheng Mu let out a "huh".

"Then go out."

Cheng Mu turned around and walked towards Shen Jinzhi who had changed his clothes.

Shen Jinzhi was about to put on his glasses, and the silver frame fit harmoniously through his fingers, making his hands even fairer.

The moment they looked at each other, Shen Jinzhi's originally smooth movements suddenly froze.

He stared at Cheng Muze motionlessly, and his eyes were moist.

Cheng Mu felt something was wrong, and asked Shen Jinzhi, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Jinzhi looked away and put on his glasses again.

The halo refracted by the lens flashed, and Shen Jinzhi's eyes returned to calm. He concealed: "It's okay, the eyelashes fell into the eyes."

The two walked out of the bedroom one after another.

Beside the sofa in the living room, Chen Jiao waited awkwardly.

Seeing Shen Jinzhi coming out, she put down the things in her hands and sat down at Shen Jinzhi's signal.

Chen Jiao licked his lips and pushed the gift in front of Shen Jinzhi.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, but I'm a little worried because Wei Duo said that you're sick." She took a peek at Cheng Muze and assured Shen Jinzhi, "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth and never Talk nonsense."

"It's okay." Shen Jinzhi stretched out his finger to Chen Jiao, and introduced to Cheng Mu, "Chen Jiao is a talent supported by Boss Wan. He is a graduate student in the Finance Department of Yongmei. Unfortunately, he is not my student."

Chen Jiao pursed her lips: "What regrets do you have? You have refused to be my doctoral supervisor many times."

Shen Jinzhi smiled lightly, and looked at Cheng Muze with serious eyes: "He is Cheng Muze, a well-known young photographer in the industry, and my...friend."

"Just friends?" Chen Jiao laughed to himself after finishing his teasing.

Seeing that Cheng Mu didn't say a word, Chen Jiao suppressed part of his smile, and said instead, "I like to joke more, so don't take it to heart."

Cheng Mu was in a trance all the time, and when he heard Chen Jiao talking to him, he responded casually.

Beside him, Shen Jinzhi glanced at the clock in the living room: "You guys talk first, I have something to go downstairs."

Hearing that Shen Jinzhi was going out, Cheng Mu was suddenly at a loss.

When Shen Jinzhi went out, it meant that he wanted to be alone with Chen Jiao. He subconsciously grabbed Shen Jinzhi by the corner of his clothes: "Can you take me with you?"

Shen Jinzhi didn't speak, but just stared at him.

Thinking of Shen Jinzhi's nonsense such as "the bed is still hot", Cheng Mu suddenly felt that he was inseparable from Shen Jinzhi.

He immediately let go of Shen Jinzhi's clothes and stopped looking at him.

"I'll do some shopping and I'll be right back."

After speaking, Shen Jinzhi walked out of the house.

Chen Jiao was afraid that Cheng Mu would get angry because of the joke just now, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "You must be very good in your professional field, right? I have never heard him praise anyone like that from Mr. Shen."

Cheng Mu tried his best to maintain a normal mood, and responded: "He just said it casually, don't take it seriously, you must be much stronger than me."

"No, 'talent training' and the like are all about embarrassing scenes for me. I'm just a poor student helped by Brother Wei Duo. Without him, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get in touch with Teacher Shen."

Wan Weiduo?

Cheng Mu gritted his teeth restrainedly, forcing himself to cheer up.

For Chen Jiao now, he is a stranger.

Perhaps, he can take this opportunity to know about her and Shen Jinzhi, so that he can prescribe the right medicine in the future.

He tried to cheer up and asked, "So, Wan Weiduo introduced you to each other?"

"Not all of them." Speaking of the events at that time, Chen Jiao was a little embarrassed, "Actually, the first time I met Mr. Shen was on the opening day of Tianjin University this year. I stopped him at the school gate and sent him a self-recommendation letter. .”

Cheng Mu almost thought that there was something wrong with his sense of hearing, so he stopped Chen Jiao: "Wait, what did you say?"

Chen Jiao repeated: "I don't think it's all true."

"It's not this." Cheng Mu was shocked, "You mean, you handed Shen Jinzhi a self-recommendation letter on the first day of school?"

Being asked this point, Chen Jiao was a little surprised, she replied hesitantly: "Yes..."

Cheng Mu was very puzzled: "When I was in school, no one used paper self-recommendation letters. Isn't self-recommendation just sending an email?"

Chen Jiao is also very helpless: "I have sent it many times, but Teacher Shen will patiently reject me every time. I want to use this method to let him see my determination, but I did not expect that he remembered my name , rejected me again in person.”

Speaking of this, Chen Jiao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Cheng Mu was completely anxious, and asked recklessly: "Then why do you always have lunch together?"

"We have to start from the beginning about the meal."

Chen Jiao explained: "Actually, the reason why Mr. Shen rejected me is very clear - our research focus is different. I know what he said is right, but I have been following Mr. Shen for many years, and I transferred it under his inspiration. Finance. I will find video training for every course and speech of his. In other words, the most important reason for me to get to this point is him, so I don’t want to give up.

"After rejecting me face to face, Wei Duo contacted me, saying that Mr. Shen intends to help me find a suitable tutor. After that, Mr. Shen would take me to meet other teachers at lunch whenever he was free. Under his recommendation, I met almost all the teachers of the Business School of Tianjin University."

"..."

Cheng Mu never thought that this was the case.

Seeing Cheng Muze's reaction, Chen Jiao paused for a moment, then straightened his back suddenly: "You didn't misunderstand that I was chasing Teacher Shen, did you?"

Speaking of this, Chen Jiao remembered another thing: "So that time I went to eat with Teacher Shen, and you were the one who intercepted him halfway, right?"

Cheng Mu remained silent, with a subtle expression on his face.

Chen Jiao hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is the first time I have come to Mr. Shen's house, and most of them are here on behalf of the project team. I recently participated in Mr. Shen's project, and I saw the final report in the group this morning. After a jump, Brother Wei Duo said that he had worked overtime all night, please ask me to express condolences on his behalf."

Cheng Mu didn't know how to react.

He did misunderstand, and he did a lot of stupid things because of this misunderstanding.

But at this moment, the relief overshadowed other complicated emotions. After all, from now on, he no longer needs to worry about this matter.

The air lifted his confinement and gave him a little sense of relief.

After a long while, Chen Jiao asked in a low voice: "Actually, I have a question. Apart from that time in the cafeteria, have we met in other places?"

Cheng Mu was startled, and the nerves that had just relaxed tensed up again.

He palely denied: "No?"

Chen Jiao's eyes turned slightly, his brows were furrowed, and he was thinking seriously.

Her expression hit Cheng Muze's pulse, constantly putting pressure on his heart.

She can't remember.

Cheng Mu hurriedly picked up the cup that was upside down on the table, trying to use other things to distract her attention, but before he even started, Chen Jiao had already finished recalling.

"right."

The cup was forced to hang in the air, and Cheng Muze's fingertips pinched the outer edge of the cup wall, making a creaking sound that could not be ignored.

"Is it on the basketball court? You blocked a ball for me. I was busy at the time, so I didn't have time to thank you."

Cheng Mu was startled for a moment, and quickly agreed: "There is such a thing."

"Well..." Chen Jiao continued, "In just over a week, it will be the fifth anniversary of my boyfriend and I being together. I plan to treat my friends to a meal, and you and Mr. Shen will come together when the time comes. Thank you very much."

Cheng Mu repeated in disbelief: "Five years?"

"It's been a long time. Before we knew it, we've been in love for so long." Chen Jiao's voice was very sweet, as if soaked in honey.

But Cheng Mu couldn't feel any joy.

How could it be five years?

Cheng Mu asked hesitantly, "May I ask, have you ever been separated?"

He was already prepared to be scolded, but Chen Jiao didn't overreact: "We have never been separated before, but last year he was admitted to Ling University as a doctoral student, and then went to Lingcheng, and in a blink of an eye we both fell in love in different places. one Year."

Hearing his answer, Cheng Mu's heart was empty.

They never separated.

Cheng Mu still refused to give up: "Then have you ever lost your memory?"

Chen Jiao directly gave him a negative answer: "How is it possible, why would you ask such a question?"

"Maybe you don't know?" Cheng Mu continued to ask.

"Impossible, I have been fine, how can I lose my memory?" Chen Jiao testified, "A memory loss will affect people's memory to a certain extent, but I have no problem. We met twice before and after, and I remember them very clearly. .”

Cheng Mu had nothing to refute, and leaned back on the sofa dejectedly.

He finally admitted his oolong of admitting the wrong person.

It turned out that those vague memories were just coincidences, and he still couldn't find the person he lost.

Sadness circled in his body, turning into a cluster of hopeful flames.

If it's not Chen Jiao, does it mean that there is still a [-]/[-] possibility that the person he is looking for is still waiting for him?

"Thank you!" Cheng Mu stood up, "Tell Professor Shen, please, I'm leaving first."

After saying goodbye to the bewildered Chen Jiao, Cheng Mu quickly opened the door and went downstairs.

He still has a chance, he can't give up.

"Where is this going?"

Cheng Mu was so immersed in his emotions that he didn't notice Shen Jinzhi who was walking towards him at all.

Shen Jinzhi held up the breakfast he had just bought: "Take your time if you have something to do, let's have breakfast first, there is sugar in the porridge for you."

At the same time, the exact same words sounded in Cheng Muze's mind.

"I put sugar in the porridge for you."

Cheng Mu was stunned, his fingertips covering the armrest shrunk slightly, letting the cold metal swallow the warmth of his hands.

He lost his mind and said, "We used to know each other?"
