Altar of Infinity

The eight years of training at the altar did not leave any traces on Xie Ji and the others. Time seemed to be paused. At least when Jiang Jichu came out of the altar, he was still a 19-year-old college student.

But no matter how it looks, eight years have really passed. Even Xie Ji and Xie Quan stayed at the altar for several months. What are you doing to adapt to a peaceful life.

After Xie sent back, he found that during his absence, his "false body" was like a perfect prop, which not only deceived everyone, but also did not delay his work.

What he tends to enter the altar is only the existence of the soul, and the body remains in reality. As for what drives the body's actions, he is not sure, it may be some kind of "data", or it may be some kind of metaphysics.

Speaking of metaphysics, he started to look for the unlucky cousin who fell into the water in the early years, but Jiang Jichu and Yang Yuan met too early, so it is very difficult to find him now, and there is no progress for a while.

During the final battle, Xie Ji made a wish on the book of life and death, led by Jiang Jichu, Siyou, Simo, and Shi Zhibie, those who died innocently at the altar level and were forced to become bosses have the greatest possibility of finding their own in the real world identity.

The altar has existed for too long, and many people have died for decades or hundreds of years, so he made a wish that the book of life and death can be fulfilled, "the greatest possible".

He emphasized the names of his teammates. Because he didn't know how these people were in the real world and whether their bodies were cremated or not, he emphasized it as a passer and asked the book of life and death to give them preferential treatment.

As a result, his wish came true.

Both Simo and Shi Zhibie "lived" over.

Although Simo died for three months, "Siyou" in the real world kept his mourning secret, and there were no rumors about "resurrection of the dead".

Xie Ji reunites with Si You at the Sheguo level, they have no memory, Si You claims to be a manager in the real world, this is the "script" given by Jiang Jichu when he asked Si You to help take care of Xie Quan.

It's just that the "script" comes from previous understanding.

After returning to reality, Siyou took Simo to rebuild, and continued to work hard in the entertainment industry, and recently got on the right track.

Shizhibie is like a superfluous person who doesn't even have an ID card.

After all, I don't know the year and month when I died, and I dare not even say whether it is modern or not. It is impossible to establish a false connection in the book of life and death.

But as long as people are there, nothing else is a problem.

Yin Lin went back to the laboratory and kept trying to find a way to tell Shi Zhi the whole identity, otherwise he would not even be able to get on the plane when he went out in the future.

Xie Quan was the least affected one among them. He was first protected by Si You, and then reconciled with Xie Ji. The team is full of big bosses, and he basically didn't suffer much. He didn't leave any psychological shadow behind. School study went.

The teammates who entered the altar due to illness also recovered after coming out. This is probably the feedback of the freedom of the book of life and death.

A few people occasionally sit together, but this time is rare, because they are busy just after leaving the altar, but they have exchanged contact information in private, and formed a group, and they will chat in the group if they have nothing to do.

It is worth mentioning that the matter between him and Jiang Jichu was not hidden.

Although the two didn't want to hide it, Li Tianheng accidentally made it public by saying, "Oh, little beauty, it's useless for you to take a fancy to Mr. Xie, he has a family."

According to Xie Ji's understanding, among the people who came out of the altar, only those who passed the sixth floor retained their memories, and those below the sixth floor did not remember anything.

That's good, those who can pass the sixth floor know how to measure and are small in size, so they won't cause any uproar. Even if one or two want to be exposed, they will be regarded as having a problem with their brains, and no one will take it seriously.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

On a sunny afternoon, there was a knock on the door of Xie Ji's office.

"Come in."

Holding a pile of documents, the secretary walked steadily to the desk: "Mr. Xie, these are Mr. Jiang's documents."

Xie Ji said "hmm" and said, "Let's put it there."

The secretary, wearing wide-rimmed glasses, added: "During the investigation, we also discovered that Mr. Jiang's grandfather had been interested in contacting him recently."

Xie Ji closed the pen cap, and the metal pen made an inaudible impact on the desk. He looked up from the signed document: "Do you intend to contact me?"

Secretary: "Yes, according to the latest investigation results, Mr. Gu Linxi and Mr. Jiang already had contact last night."

Xie Ji took a document that was specially placed on the top.

In the false world on the seventh floor, he helped Jiang Jichu recover his memory, shattering the illusory but happy future that Jiang Jichu might have, and he still remembered it after he came out.

But he didn't rush to find Gu Linxi.

It has been 19 years since Jiang's mother passed away. Gu Linxi is not ignorant of Jiang Jichu's situation, but he has never taken care of Jiang Jichu who is alone and wandering outside.

Unexpectedly, Gu Linxi came to the door by himself.

Xie Ji flipped through a few pages of information, and came to understand Gu Linxi's thinking.

Gu Linxi is old, people tend to soften their hearts when they are old, thinking about their blood and flesh and blood, most likely they want to recognize Jiang Jichu back.

But Jiang Jichu probably wouldn't agree.

Why did the Gu family go long ago? Although Jiang Jichu was struggling, he had grown up and was able to take care of himself. Now that he wants to recognize someone back, what is the difference from being an afterthought.

Xie Ji: "I see."

Xie Ji was pretty busy with work today, so he read the information page by page, all of which were Jiang Jichu's experiences over the years.

Even in a predicament, with his legs wrapped in mud, Jiang Jichu still stepped out of the dangerous shoal, passed through a field of thorns, and grew tenaciously upwards.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt sorry for his little boyfriend, his heart was about to melt into water.

There is nothing left and right, he plans to leave work early to pick up Jiang Jichu from school.

Xie Ji finally sorted out the files, turned off the computer and left the desk. He took the thin coat on the shelf and was about to go out when his cell phone rang.

There is an unfamiliar number on the screen.

He glanced at the collected documents and pressed the connect button.

On the other end of the phone was an elderly male voice that was not familiar: "Is this Mr. Xie Ji Xie?"

In the false world on the seventh floor, Xie Ji heard this voice sending birthday wishes to Jiang Jichu.

It was the Gulinxi that I had just discussed with the secretary.

Xie Ji: "It's me, Mr. Gu."

Gu Linxi has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he is considered to be Xie Ji's senior. The simple address and tone are enough to tell that Xie Ji already understands his purpose of coming.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds: "It seems that Mr. Xie should know why I made this call."

Xie Ji has no business relationship with Gu Linxi. If Gu Linxi raised Jiang Jichu from a young age, he might get closer to Gu Linxi for Jiang Jichu's sake. Right now, he just responds in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "Because of Jichu's incident. Bar."

As the Patriarch of the Gu family, Gu Linxi's voice and tone are full of uncompromising majesty all year round, but considering his plan, he still tries to show his kind side as much as possible: "Mr. See you sometime."

Xie Ji raised his watch: "If Mr. Gu is convenient, I have an hour and a half now."

After the two agreed on the location, Xie Ji drove there.

Gulinxi chose a quiet and elegant tea room.

Although they have met each other in the false world, it is the first time for Xie Ji to meet Gu Linxi in the real world.

The design of the box is antique, generous and elegant, and the light is sufficient and bright. Compared with the false world, the Gulinxi in reality seems not so energetic. Even if it is wrapped in a decent Chinese tunic suit, it is still captured by Xie Ji, revealed from the depths, If there seems to be nothing old.

Also, if everything went well, he might not be able to think of his grandson Jiang Jichu.

Gu Linxi sized Xie Ji up and politely invited him to take a seat.

Gu Linxi: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Xie is young and promising, and he can carry the Xie family in his early twenties. Seeing him today proves that the rumors are true."

Xie Ji: "Mr. Gu's praise, we juniors grew up listening to the story of you starting from scratch and building a business empire single-handedly."

Gu Linxi smiled and waved his hands: "When you are old, the time belongs to you young people. National construction needs talents. Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie actively responded to the call, cooperated with universities, strengthened innovation, supported and cultivated new talents, and cultivated excellent talents for the country and society. , is indeed a new generation of pillars."

"It's just to take on some responsibilities that can be borne." Xie Ji did not continue to greet Gu Linxi. The teahouse is a little far away from Jiang Jichu's school, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pick up people from school in time. "Mr. Gu came to me, probably not to discuss these things."

Gu Linxi took a sip of tea, and the simple and exquisite porcelain slowly fell on the table. He sighed: "It is said that Mr. Xie and Xiao Chu are in a relationship."

Xie Ji admitted frankly: "Yes."

Gu Linxi was silent for a moment, and said sadly: "Back then, Xiao Chu's mother broke up with the family because of that man. I didn't expect that after so many years, even Xiao Chu has reached the age of falling in love."

As he said that, Gu Linxi seemed to think of something again, and assured Xie Ji: "Mr. Xie, don't worry, I'm not here to tear you apart."

Hearing this, Xie Ji showed a decent smile, implying something: "Ji Chu has grown up early, and has his own judgment."

Gu Linxi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xie Ji's short sentence blocked too many things.

Gu Linxi: "Mr. Xie is very confident in his relationship with Xiaochu."

Xie Ji dismantled the tricks without pain or itching: "Young people, naturally attach more importance to feelings."

It refers to both Jiang Jichu and himself.

In front of Gu Linxi, he is not just a young man.

"Since Xie is always a smart person, then we don't need to waste our words," Gu Linxi stopped playing Tai Chi with Xie Ji, "I want to take Xiao Chu back to the Gu family."

Chapter 204 Fanwai [-]. Even if the body is peeled off and the memory is left behind, you and I will be branded on each other's souls.

Gu Linxi waited for a while, seeing Xie Ji's unmoving appearance like a mountain, he had no choice but to continue: "But that kid has a tough attitude. I have missed his growth in the past ten years, and I am willing to take a step back and not take him with me. When I go back to City S, as long as I recognize him, I hope Mr. Xie can help persuade him. He has no father or mother, and he still has the backing of a blood-related family. Only I, who is a grandfather, can rest assured. As for the reward, Mr. Xie can give it whatever he wants. "

Gu Linxi holds tens of thousands of family wealth in his hands, and he still holds the power of the Gu family. The random price he said is worth more than ten thousand gold.

But Xie Ji put down the tea bowl without even moving his eyelids: "Mr. Gu, did you misunderstand? I am willing to go to the appointment only because of the blood connection between you and Ji Chu. As I said, Ji Chu has already grown up. Does he recognize it?" It is his own business to recognize you, and I will not interfere."

Before Gu Linxi approached Xie Ji, he conducted a comprehensive investigation on people. The Xie family is indeed a behemoth standing in the business world, but who would think that there is too much money? Unexpectedly, Xie Ji didn't even think about it.

But just like that, his evaluation of Xie Ji was even higher.

"Mr. Xie doesn't think about himself, but also about Xiaochu. He is only 19 years old, and the rebellious period has not yet passed. Maybe it was just a momentary impulse to reject me. Sooner or later, he will understand that returning to the Gu family will only be better for his future. Gu Linxi changed the subject, "Besides, Xie's family has a great career, and Xiaochu is a boy, so he has to rely on something to live more comfortably."

Xie Ji: "You are an elder, some words may not be said from the mouth of a junior, but you are still Jichu's grandfather, and I am his other half, I want to ask you, do you really think Jichu needs to be late for 19 Years of family affection and glory and wealth?"

The layers of traces drawn by the years on Gu Linxi's face became more and more obvious for a moment, he paused: "I know I'm sorry for their mother and son."

Xie Ji put the information on the secretary's mobile phone on the table and pushed it to Gu Linxi.

"I don't know Jichu's mother, but Jichu never blamed you, and at the same time, he never expected the family affection or wealth you can give, otherwise the Gu's building would be there, and he would have gone looking for you long ago.

"I will not interfere with any of Jichu's choices. Whether he recognizes you or not has his own considerations. As for the future life, he and I are the closest people, and we can share everything we have."

For the sake of dignity, Xie Ji didn't say the words clearly, but he told Gu Linxi with his attitude.

After 19 years of absence, Gu Linxi has long been disqualified as a relative.

Relatives are not close, and he is Jiang Jichu's only reliance, the only backing, he can give Jiang Jichu a better future.

After saying goodbye to Gu Linxi, Xie Ji went to Z University to pick up Jiang Jichu.

Z University is a well-known comprehensive university in China, and the area occupied by Z City, where every inch of land is expensive, should not be underestimated.

Xie Ji had picked up Xie Quan several times before, and with his good memory and the school's instruction map, it was easy to find Jiang Jichu's department.

Yesterday, I made an agreement with Jiang Jichu to take him home today, probably because of this reason, Jiang Jichu didn't tell him about Gu Linxi last night, thinking about meeting him today and talking about it.

Talking to Gu Linxi took some time. When he came, the students had just finished class, so he didn't catch up with Jiang Jichu listening to the class.

Afraid of missing out with Jiang Jichu, Xie Ji took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to ask where Jiang Jichu was, but before he tapped the number, he caught a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Jichu was so conspicuous, even among the college students in a school, even if he was carrying a big black schoolbag, he would stand there with a heroic look.

He put away his phone, and Jiang Jichu also took two steps in one direction, enough for him to see the profile.

Even after leaving the altar, when he wasn't around, Jiang Jichu was still indifferent and alienated like he refused to let others go thousands of miles away.

But he has seen Jiang Jichu's various appearances, even if he is cold and distant, he still feels obedient in his eyes.

Xie Ji frowned unconsciously, and walked towards Jiang Jichu.

Before he could reach Jiang Jichu's side, a boy was pushed by his companion, and pushed directly to the front of Jiang Jichu's road.

The boy blushed and rubbed the back of his head, and looked back at his companion reproachfully, who made booing one after another.

Jiang Jichu bypassed the boy and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the boy in a hurry.

Xie Ji University has never been in a relationship, but he also understands what is going on in front of him.

As expected of an art department, even the atmosphere is more open than other places.

The boy took courage: "You, hello! I was the one sitting next to you in the last game, do you remember?"

Jiang Jichu said lightly, "I'm sorry."

The boy was a little disappointed, but he continued: "It's okay."

Jiang Jichu took out his cell phone and looked at it, as if he was waiting for his call or message.

The boy didn't care about being shy when he saw this, and summoned up his courage: "I have liked you for a long time, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Jiang Jichu said without any hesitation, "Thank you, but I already have a boyfriend."

The boy was shocked: "You have a boyfriend?!"

Xie Ji didn't stop, he just walked behind Jiang Jichu: "Jichu."

Jiang Jichu turned his head, his expression was still calm, but there was undisguised joy in his eyes.

Xie Ji pinched the back of Jiang Jichu's neck contentedly: "Is the class over?"

Jiang Jichu: "It's over."

Xie Ji: "Okay, say goodbye to your classmates, let's go home."

Jiang Jichu loosened the hand holding the schoolbag and clasped his index finger, obediently said to the boy: "My boyfriend and I are leaving first, goodbye."

There is a seven-year age difference between Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu, which is incomparable to these enthusiastic students in the school. He has enough trust in Jiang Jichu and this relationship. A mature man also has the benefits of a mature man.

Even so, when I saw Jiang Jichu decisively rejecting others and leaving with his hand, I still felt warm in my heart.

Tomorrow weekend, the two got into the car, and Xie Ji drove Jiang Jichu home.

According to the plan, he bought a house close to Z University and the company, but it was still being renovated, so he went to his house first.

The two ate outside, and it was already dark when they got home.

Jiang Jichu was a little absent-minded until he entered the door, and almost buttoned the wrong button when changing clothes.

Xie Ji was still wearing the black suit he wore during the day, and it was still neatly ironed all day long. He approached from behind, with his arms around him, and buttoned Jiang Jichu's home clothes.

Under the warm light, the indifference to the outside world during the day was also removed, leaving only Xie Ji full of softness and warmth.

He clasped the hands around his waist: "Yesterday Gulinxi looked for me."

Xie Ji encouraged: "Then?"

"He wanted me to go back to City S with him, but I refused, and he made the next best thing, wanting to recognize me back, but I also refused," Jiang Jichu explained, "I wanted to tell you last night, but after we parted, It's too late, I'm afraid it will delay your rest, and I think we will meet today."

Just as he guessed.

Xie Ji: "What do you think?"

Jiang Jichu: "I don't think much about it, I think life is very good now."

Xie Ji: "Gu Linxi also came to see me this afternoon."

Jiang Jichu's aura suddenly changed, and he said displeasedly, "What is he bothering you about?"

Xie Ji pinched the back of his neck twice to smooth Jiang Jichu's hair: "He only came to me when he saw that it didn't make sense."

Jiang Jichu: "How did you answer him?"

Xie Ji: "I'll be honest, I won't interfere with your choice."

The two came to the sofa and sat down. Jiang Jichu sat on Xie Ji's lap and lay face to face in Xie Ji's arms: "I don't need him, I didn't need him before, and I don't need him now."

"I know," Xie Ji patted Jiang Jichu's back reassuringly, "What Gu Linxi can give you, I can give you as well."

Jiang Jichu said in a muffled voice, "I don't want those."

Xie Ji: "As for the others... I still want to give you a home."

Jiang Jichu got up from Xie Ji's arms, and looked at him in a daze.

Xie Ji brushed aside the black hair blocking Jiang Jichu's eyes: "My parents found out about you and urged me to take you back."

Jiang Jichu was even more at a loss.

Thanks to Li Tianheng's blessing, everyone in the circle knew that he had a love partner, and the word naturally reached his parents' ears.

If a child who has been single for many years has a partner, parents should not care about it. As a result, after inquiring, Jiang Jichu is a man. Anyway, he has never been in a relationship. His parents have said that the family is open-minded, and they just said "a man is fine." .

Xie Ji spoke softly, looking straight into Jiang Jichu's eyes: "They are very nice people, and my mother especially likes pretty ones, so she will definitely treat you better than me."

Considering Jiang Jichu's thin skin, Xie Ji added: "Of course, if you think it's early, we'll wait."

Jiang Jichu was not good at socializing, let alone dealing with Xie Ji's parents, so he didn't know where to put his hands: "No, it's not early."

Counting the seven years alone at the altar, he has known Xie Ji for almost eight years.

Jiang Jichu lowered his head, not hiding his disappointment in his eyes: "But I can't speak."

"It's okay, you're already very pleasing just sitting there," Xie Ji smiled to relieve Jiang Jichu's embarrassment, "But you have to clarify with my parents, because it was too sudden and you were young, they thought We're in an illegitimate relationship."

Jiang Jichu: "?"

Although Xie Ji's family didn't respond much to the fact that he was dating a man, the problem was that Jiang Jichu was still in college, only 19!Just come of age!

Gender is not a problem, what age.

But be sure to obey the law!

His mother didn't know which TV series he watched, and asked him if he didn't learn well, and warned him that this is a society ruled by law.

Only Xie Jifeng praised him well, and Xie Quan came forward, so his mother didn't come to rescue the "trapped college students" in person.

He explained it to Jiang Jichu helplessly, and got an uncontrollable chuckle.

Jiang Jichu cleared his throat: "Then when are we going to rectify Mr. Xie's name?"

Xie Ji: "As long as you are ready, you can do it anytime."

They planned to go to listen to Si You Simo's album recording with Xie Quan Yinlin tomorrow, which can be regarded as a gathering of friends.

The matter of meeting the parents has to be postponed.

Xie Ji saw that Jiang Jichu was getting nervous ahead of time, so he changed the subject and said, "I'll think about it when I come back tomorrow, don't worry about it for a while, there are strawberry puffs in the refrigerator, how many are you going to eat?"

Jiang Jichu shook his head, got off Xie Ji and sat aside.

Xie Ji put Jiang Jichu's schoolbag behind the sofa: "You have a class during the day, and do you still want to draw when you get home? Do you want to play a few games, watch a movie or something?"

Jiang Jichu seemed to be awakened by his movement, leaned forward and hugged the schoolbag into his arms, glanced at him inexplicably, and deliberately opened a distance.

Xie Ji: "?"

Jiang Jichu looked at Xie Ji from head to toe almost recklessly: "It suddenly occurred to me why my aunt would have such a guess. Maybe Xie has a criminal record."

Xie Ji: "I don't have any criminal record."

Jiang Jichu opened his schoolbag and took out a pointer of unknown use from it.

The body of the whip was pitch black, in stark contrast to Jiang Jichu's white palm, which was used to holding the pen. He pressed hard on the triangular hard piece of the head, and the pointer bent into an ambiguous arc.

He let go of his hand, and the pointer returned to nature with the wind.

Jiang Jichu leaned back on the sofa, waving his whip again and again, strip-shaped shadows lingered on his cheeks and collarbone.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "I accidentally remembered at noon today, I saw Mr. Xie was very proficient in playing the wish level before."

Feelings care so much about the schoolbag because there is such a thing in it!

young age!

Xie Ji bullied himself over, not giving Jiang Jichu a chance to escape, and pushed Jiang Jichu on his back on the sofa.

The two were close to each other, Xie Ji snatched the cold pointer from Jiang Jichu's hand, before he could change his suit, the cuff button brushed against Jiang Jichu's neck, causing a slight shudder.

"When I was abroad, I went to the bar with my friends and saw that they used it, but I didn't play it, so I left with an excuse."

Jiang Jichu probably won't be able to get rid of his habit of being flirtatious, flirtatious and flirtatious in his life.

Especially when Xie Ji surrounded him with overwhelming hormones, and even his breathing was entangled, he instinctively wanted to surrender to Xie Ji.

Thank you for not giving Jiang Jichu a chance.

He touched Jiang Jichu's lips very lightly: "It's you, at such a young age, why don't you learn well?"

Xie Ji's words are so gentle, and the next action is so tough.

Grabbing Jiang Jichu's shoulders and turning him over, he sat up straight.

Hearing the rustling wind, Jiang Jichu felt that he had dug a sinkhole, and hurriedly reminded: "Tomorrow, we will go with Xie Quan and Yinlin to support Si You Simo."

Xie Ji laughed, pressed the head of the pointer against Jiang Jichu's side face with one hand, loosened his tie with the other hand, and unbuttoned two buttons.

He straightened his neckline and put Jiang Jichu's right leg aside with his knee: "Emotions are waiting for me here, do you think you have won the gold medal for avoiding death?"

Jiang Jichu's thoughts were punctured, and he buried his head in the pillow stiffly.

Xie Ji has never used it, but he can learn everything quickly.

Like the sweetness given before the punishment came, he threw it down twice without any strength, and said kindly: "Choose a place for yourself?"

Jiang Jichu bit his arm and pointed his other finger at the bedroom.

Xie Ji freed his arm from Jiang Jichu's mouth, and threw him into the soft bedding after a few steps.

He caught a glimpse of a drawer that wasn't completely closed, and kicked it indistinctly. The movement coincided with his voice, and Jiang Jichu was so preoccupied with his affairs that he didn't notice it at all.

"I didn't let you choose this kind of place, good boy, I'll give you another chance to answer."

The medical records were sleeping quietly amidst the sound of water in the room.

The above is Xie Ji's injury certificate from a car accident not long ago. The impact was not enough to cause fatal injuries. With his physical fitness, he could even recover in two or three days.

Even if the body is peeled off and the memory is left behind, you and I will be branded on each other's souls.
