reverse trapping

Cheng Muze's voice was not loud, but it echoed firmly in the corridor.

Shen Jinzhi stared at Cheng Muze's outline for a long time, refusing to move his gaze.

The sensor light couldn't support that gaze, and finally went out.

The screen of the phone that was in the middle of a call was still on, and a light circled Shen Jinzhi's trouser legs.

The phone kept ringing, but Shen Jinzhi couldn't hear a word.

Time froze for a moment, and it went back to that night several years ago at the speed of light. The boy who had always been happy suddenly squatted at the door of his house soaked, and tentatively asked him if he could stay overnight.

Two similar figures intertwined and gradually overlapped.

Cheng Mu coughed lightly, and the lights in the corridor came back on.

The light broke Shen Jinzhi's memory, he picked up the phone and put it against his ear again.

On the phone, Wan Weiduo's voice was harsh: "I'm going, did I hear you right? Xiao Cheng took the initiative to come and live with you? That's really okay, old fox, I won't go to the newly established love psychology at Tianjin University without you—— "

Shen Jinzhi's voice sank, and he interrupted indifferently: "I won't work overtime today."

He hung up the phone and walked up the last steps of the fourth floor.

"How long have you been waiting? Is it cold? Why don't you call me?"

A series of questions stunned Cheng Mu, and he asked in a daze, "Didn't you hear from me?"

Shen Jin belatedly took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat, and Cheng Muze's unread messages were lying prominently on the top.

"Can you come back if you have time? I have something to tell you."

Shen Jinzhi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he quickly unlocked and opened the door: "Go in first."

While talking, he bent over to get the things that Cheng Muze piled up at the door, but Cheng Muze stopped him: "Wait, I have a few things to explain in advance about the shared rent—"

"You can ask for as many as you want." Shen Jinzhi interrupted, "It's eleven o'clock, it's cold at night, let's go in and talk about it."

Cheng Mu felt a certain undeniable strength in his voice.

He stopped insisting and moved things with Shen Jinzhi.

After closing the door, a gust of draft swept across the living room, Shen Jinzhi walked quickly to the window, closed the window before returning to Cheng Muze.

He asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to move here all of a sudden?"

Cheng Mu avoided answering. He found the backpack among a pile of luggage and dug out the contract in duplicate.

"If I move up, the shared tenancy status will change. I will draw up a new contract in the afternoon. You can take a look first."

He opened the contract, handed it to Shen Jinzhi, and pointedly reminded: "The main thing is the additional terms."

Shen Jinzhi put down his handbag and took the contract in Cheng Muze's hand.

The light was pressing on Shen Jinzhi's face, and Wu Qingzhao in front of his eyes behind the frame showed his exhaustion for days.

Looking at his haggard face, Cheng Mu felt sore. In order to reduce Shen Jinzhi's reading time, he helped to interpret: "It's actually——"

While speaking, Shen Jinzhi was already sitting on the sofa.He pulled out his pen and signed his name at the end of the contract without hesitation.

Cheng Mu walked around the coffee table in astonishment and stood opposite Shen Jinzhi.

It wasn't until he confirmed that Shen Jinzhi had really signed the contract that he raised his eyes in disbelief: "Professor Shen, don't you know the reason why you can't sign the contract without reading it? What if I dig a hole? What if I give it to you?" Isn't it a lease contract?"

Shen Jinzhi put away the pen, put it back in his pocket, and said calmly, "You won't."

Cheng Mu's brows were tightly frowned, and some anger mixed with his words: "How can you be sure? We've only known each other for two months."

Shen Jinzhi didn't answer directly, but just repeated firmly: "You won't."

The tone was so sure that Cheng Mu almost felt that his blindness was justified.

Cheng Mu calmed down for a moment and withdrew one of the contracts.

He took out a card and handed it to Shen Jinzhi.

It was the bank card that Shen Jinzhi gave Qin Yi when he compensated Qin Yi last time, and he took this opportunity to return it to Shen Jinzhi.

"It includes the three-year rent I paid in advance and the part of Wan Weiduo's investment in our studio at that time. I know that these may be a drop in the bucket, but I can only take out these for now.

"The decoration of this house is much newer than the one downstairs. If it is for sale, it is more cost-effective to sell the one downstairs. The password of the bank card is still the same as before, and I have not changed it."

There were thin wrinkles between Shen Jinzhi's brows, and he looked like he was lost in thought.

Cheng Mu said sincerely: "I understand that you don't want others to know about this, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

The wrinkles between Shen Jinzhi's eyebrows deepened.

Looking at the heavy face of the other party, Cheng Mu clearly felt the breath of rejection.

He knows that everyone has their own arrogance, especially elites like Shen Jinzhi, but he really can't just watch Shen Jinzhi stand up for the so-called face.

He hurriedly ended the conversation between the two before he got a rejected answer: "In that case, I'll go to bed first, good night!"

Before Shen Jinzhi understood the situation, Cheng Mu entered the second bedroom in three steps at a time.

It was a surprise to see Cheng Mu today, no matter how puzzled he was, Shen Jinzhi didn't want to disturb him anymore.

Shen Jinzhi took off his glasses and repeatedly recalled the conversation between the two tonight.

A few minutes later, his tightly locked brows relaxed, and he finally understood the situation tonight.

Looking at the bank card left by Cheng Muze on the coffee table, he murmured, "You said that I don't read the contract, and don't you want a receipt?"

He picked up the contract left by Cheng Muze and turned to the start page of the additional clauses.

On the first item of the clause, there are a few large characters written brightly - turn off the monitoring of public areas.

Shen Jinzhi sneered, and saw some resentment.

This monitoring was originally installed because he was often away from home. Since he will not need it in the future, there is naturally no need to turn it on.

He went straight to the monitor and cut off the power of the monitor.

After finishing this item, he roughly glanced at the following items. Although the contents of those items were different, they all vaguely reminded him that they were only in a shared relationship.

Shen Jinzhi moved his fingers to the signature on the last page, stroked the handwriting left by Cheng Muze, and said with a smile, "I probably won't be able to do these few things."

A subtle sound came from the crack in the door of the second bedroom, echoing the warmth in Shen Jinzhi's heart.

He walked to the door of the second bedroom and put one hand on the wooden door.

He quietly felt the presence of Cheng Muze in the room, and said in a voice so low that only he could hear: "Axia, happy living together for the second time."

·

A steady stream of alarms announce the arrival of a new day.

When he opened his eyes and saw the surrounding environment, Cheng Mu was a little dazed, and his sluggish memory caught up with his waking speed, reminding him of the fact that he moved upstairs last night.

He walks out of the room.

After all, it was justifiable to move in, and Cheng Mu seemed to have lost the restlessness of the previous few times.

There was only a pair of slippers left on the carpet at the door, indicating the fact that Shen Jinzhi had left.

Next to the breakfast on the kitchen table is a note: "I have something to attend to, I'll be back later, remember to eat on time."

The food on the table was still warm, and it looked like it had been bought from the breakfast shop early in the morning.

Cheng Mu realized that he was causing trouble for Shen Jinzhi.

From tomorrow onwards, he has to get up early, and he can't give Shen Jinzhi another chance to take care of him.

In addition, when Shen Jinzhi is not busy, it is necessary for him to emphasize the additional content in the contract to consolidate their co-tenancy relationship.

The second bedroom on the fourth floor was basically empty, and Cheng Mu spent a day sorting things out.

In the evening, he went to the supermarket again, bought a lot of things and came back, filling the entire refrigerator.

At nearly nine o'clock in the evening, there was the sound of fingerprint unlocking at the door.

Cheng Mu was not used to it, he met Shen Jinzhi's eyes sluggishly, and said "good evening" awkwardly.

"Ah, you too."

Shen Jinzhi put down his handbag and walked towards the refrigerator.

The moment he opened the refrigerator, he was in a daze.

He originally wanted to warm up a cup of milk for Cheng Muze, but facing the full refrigerator, he almost didn't react.

He turned to look at Cheng Muze who was on the sofa and said, "Did you buy it?"

Cheng Mu nodded: "Yes, I accidentally bought too much, but the shelf life is not long, let's eat together."

Is this because he is afraid that he will not be able to eat?Shen Jinzhi suddenly felt like accepting the help.

He closed the refrigerator door, and the cold air surrounding him quickly dissipated.

Shen Jinzhi unbuttoned his suit jacket and walked towards Cheng Muze: "First you moved here, then you stuffed me with money, and now you are still concerned about my food. It's hard for me not to doubt..."

Cheng Mu blinked bluntly: "What?"

Shen Jinzhi raised his hand to put on the cuff buttons, and wrote lightly: "I suspect you have taken a fancy to me."

Hearing this sentence, the book in Cheng Muze's hand suddenly jumped up and almost fell to the ground.

"not me……"

Cheng Mu hadn't finished organizing the language yet, when Shen Jinzhi suddenly handed him a mobile phone.

On the screen is a piece of news.

Cheng Mu slid from the beginning to the end, and his thoughts were instantly knotted.

Shen Jinzhi took back the phone, dispelling Cheng Muze's misunderstanding: "The company does not have a financial problem, and the news a few days ago is just a vicious means of competition by the opponent."

Cheng Mu, on the other hand, was stuck in his own logic: "But Wan Weiduo was still in a hurry to sell the house a few days ago."

Shen Jinzhi continued to explain: "If you feign a shot, it's just a plan."

"..."

Cheng Mu complained, "Then what did you do last night—"

Just halfway through saying this, he was choked back by himself.After all, last night was the chance he didn't give Shen Jinzhi an explanation.

His back relaxed as if discouraged: "So, you didn't want to sell the house to move in with me?"

"Yes." Shen Jinzhi admitted calmly, "I just miss you."

Cheng Mu's dull expression changed slightly, and his cheeks turned crimson inadvertently.

The cold light in the living room fell on him like warming up, eroding the coolness on his body inch by inch.

Cheng Mu stood up and hurriedly said: "I misunderstood, since I'm going to move back, the rental contract should be as it was."

He had only taken half a step, but his wrist suddenly tightened, and a reverse force forced him to fall suddenly onto the sofa.

The shoulders of the two collided back and forth, and the dull pain from them seemed insignificant at this moment.

The buttons of the suit were firmly pressed against his lower back, together with its owner, it gave Cheng Muze an indescribable sense of oppression.

Shen Jinzhi took advantage of the situation to circle Cheng Muze, stretched out his hand to pinch his wrist, and slowly rubbed it up and down: "You've thrown yourself into a trap, do you think I'll let you go back?"

The author says:

That is definitely not possible.
