Deer in the forest

Li Jibai knew that he was despicable, so he tried to use his grandmother to tie Lin Shen up.But there is no way, he wants Lin Shen who is smiling at him, but he really has nothing to do except make a fuss about grandma.

When Lin Shen smiled, he didn't care, and squandered tolerance and love wantonly.When Lin Shen was crying, he couldn't see it, and he wanted to sprinkle salt on the wound, and what he said and did would hurt others and himself.Only now that Lin Shen stopped crying and laughing did he realize how stupid he was.

What was once available at your fingertips is now unavailable, and no one is more embarrassed than him.

Nominally, he was the one who imprisoned Lin Shen, but in fact, only he himself knew that he was the one who was stuck in the predicament and could not move.

After Lin Shen was brought back by him, he went from struggling to compromising, then to indifference and numbness, corresponding to his anger to madness, and then to helplessness.

is an unsolvable circle.

What Li Jibai wants to do most now is to try to break through this circle and find a way for the future of the two of them to go on.

After returning from his grandmother's place, Lin Shen's mood eased a lot, and sometimes he would take the initiative to talk to Li Jibai.This made Li Jibai a little excited, but he couldn't get too complacent on his face, he felt that he might be able to break through this circle soon.

He pushed back all the work, vacated the next period of time with the fastest efficiency, and asked the secretary to arrange a trip to Finland.To see the aurora, to eat the local blueberry pie, he promised Lin Shen.He thought that in the future, as long as he promised to do something, he must do it.He even began to fantasize about this beautiful journey, an ice-breaking trip for the two of them. He even ordered a ring. If the time is right, he might propose in Finland.

He was full of joy, showing a rare relaxed attitude.

So many things are ignored.

Lin Shen was allowed to go for a walk in the garden every afternoon, usually accompanied by Luo Yi, but as long as Li Jibai was at home, he would not pretend to be someone else.Lin Shen seemed to have a peaceful mind and a calm face. He did whatever he was asked to do and was very cooperative.He usually doesn't go far, at most he goes to play with Brooke for a while.When Lao Ding smoked Lin Shen to go downstairs, he would also join in for a few chats and say some unnutritious things.Li Jibai didn't care about him, but Luo Yi was a little vigilant every time, as long as the boss came over, he would follow him either far or near.

The old top was smoking a cigarette, still looking like a rascal, curled his lips with a click of his tongue, and muttered in a low voice.

"Don't mess with him." Lin Shen licked Brook, and looked up at Lao Ding, "Don't mess around."

"Do I dare to provoke him?" Lao Ding rolled his eyes. He had nothing to do with Luo Yi before, but now because of Lin Shen's matter, no matter how you look at Luo Yi, he doesn't like it.Ever since the incident with the doctor, Li Jibai had arranged for Luo Yi to guard Lin Shen. If he wanted to help Lin Shen leave, Luo Yi would have a big hurdle.

Then he smiled and said "I dare".Don't look at Lao Ding's rough appearance, but his actions are extremely meticulous. Lin Shen knows what he thinks in his heart, but he doesn't agree.

"Ah Shen, you don't have to worry, I will take care of grandma. According to my observations during this period, the husband will not do anything to grandma." The implication is to leave as soon as possible.

Lin Shen shook his head slightly, of course he knew that Li Jibai was just talking about threatening him with his grandmother, but that's not the point.The point is that he can't leave alone just because his grandma is safe, he wants to take his grandma with him.

And grandma's current physical condition is obviously not suitable for long-distance travel, and it is difficult to avoid accidents without the superior and comfortable medical environment.Li Jibai saw this right, and knew that there was no need to use any threats to trap Lin Shen.

His hands kept moving, stroking Brooke.

"You don't have to worry about me. At worst, you will be fined." The boss smiled indifferently, "After you go out and settle down, if I have nowhere to go, I will go to you."

Lin Shen was noncommittal, where could he have escaped, or was he caught back the same way.It's not that he doesn't know Li Jibai's ability, unless he can get out of the country without anyone noticing.

However, he glanced at the black metal ring on his ankle, and a slight sarcasm appeared on his face: "I can't take this off, where can I go?"

Luo Yi came closer, interrupted their conversation, and signaled that it was time to go back.Lin Shen stood up, touched Brook one last time, said "Let's go" softly, and then slowly turned around and went upstairs.

Lao Ding crushed the unfinished cigarette to the ground, stood there for a while, and then left.

On the weekend night, Li Jibai wrapped Lin Shen tightly again and drove out.This time it was just the two of them, no one followed.

Originally, Lin Shen thought he was going to see his grandmother again, but Li Jibai drove the car to the city center instead.The lights were shining all the way, and Lin Shen rested his forehead on the passenger glass, silently counting the passing pedestrians and vehicles. The city came and went in a hurry in the night, each staged different stories of joys and sorrows.

Li Jibai drove the car with one hand, and with the other hand, he held Lin Shen's fingers that were placed on his knees neatly. With his strength, the warmth of his palm penetrated through his fingertips, but it could no longer warm his heart.Li Jibai didn't realize it, he was immersed in the imagination of the beautiful night, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, Ah Shen, I have a surprise for you today.

They went to the Eye of the Sky.

The top floor of the tallest building in the city, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, overlooks the bright lights of the entire capital. There are only a dozen seats, and reservations need to be made two months in advance.Li Jibai led Lin Shen into the hall, not paying attention to other people's eyes, of course, there was no one else except the waiter.

The two sat down accompanied by soothing jazz. Louis Armstrong's vicissitudes, thick voice was affectionate and lingering. It was his classic song "What a wonderful world". Lin Shen was a little distracted for a while.It has to be said that when Li Jibai wants to care about someone, he can pay attention to every detail.Lin Shen liked Louis Armstrong the most when he was studying, and he always liked to listen to some of his songs when doing housework. When the melodious jazz came down, he could clean slowly all day without feeling tired.But every time he cleaned up the room, he would take the time when Li Jibai was not at home, and he didn't know how this person knew.

It turns out that if you like a person, you will really care about everything about him, and when you don't care, you really don't like it.

It's just that their love has been wrong for too long.It has been so long that one of the parties has been scarred and has decided to retire, while the other party has just begun to enter the state and is full of enthusiasm.

There were only the two of them in the whole hall, and Li Jibai arranged the venue, lighting, music, dinner, everything was prepared according to Lin Shen's preferences.

Lin Shen didn't have much appetite, but he still managed to eat half of the steak under Li Ji's burning eyes, which made his stomach a little uncomfortable.

"Don't eat if you don't want to eat, and have some dessert later." Li Jibai was keenly aware of Lin Shen's discomfort, so he deliberately slowed down his tone, "You don't have to force yourself to do things you don't like in the future."

"I want to go to the bathroom." Lin Shen put down the knife and fork, and looked at Li Jibai.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two men go to the bathroom together.

"Ji Bai? You're here too." On the way back, he passed through a viewing platform, and a greeting came from behind him.

Looking back, it was a former partner, and the two exchanged greetings and shook hands.

The man smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I have a business event downstairs, it's too stuffy, come up to get some air." Then he glanced at Lin Shen next to him, a little surprised: "Who is this gentleman?"

"This is my lover, Lin Shen."

Lin Shen: "?"

The word "lover" carries a lot of weight.In Li Jibai's mind, it is even more important than the title of "wife" or "husband".

His calm introduction made Lin Shen and the man stunned at the same time.

It is normal for people of their status to have several lovers. If they get married, it must be a big event in the circle.Never heard of Li Jibai getting married?The subject is still a man?Wait, why does this person's name and face seem familiar!

A flash of light came to that person's mind, and he remembered seeing a person behind Li Jibai at a reception a few months ago.Not long after he came back from abroad, he didn't know much about the gossip about Lin Shen, Li Jibai and even the head of the Wei family. He just thought that Lin Shen was just an ordinary assistant.

Although this person looks paler now than then, it is indeed the same person.

But isn't Lin Shen Li Jibai's special assistant?When did the special assistant turn into a lover?

The man's mind was already blown by this earth-shattering gossip, but the smile on his face was still decent and reserved, and he shook hands with Lin Shen warmly: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I was lucky enough to meet you a few months ago. Please teach me more."

Lin Shen had no choice but to say a few words.

It wasn't until the two returned to the dining table and sat down again that Lin Shen recovered from Li Jibai's words just now.

Li Jibai looked amused at Lin Shen's bewildered expression. He really liked Lin Shen who showed his true temperament occasionally, just like a child who has worked so hard to get candy. .He was in a good mood, and started to be funny again: "Don't worry, your whereabouts are no secret now, and those who want to trouble you are no obstacle, so don't be afraid to introduce them to others." He was referring to Wei Qidong and the Li family old man.

Lin Shen cursed in his heart, is this the point?

The slander in his heart was unreservedly reflected on his face, Li Jibai was even happier when he saw the corners of his ruddy mouth slightly opened, and his pair of Ruifeng eyes widened a little.

The phone on the table rang.

Li Jibai took a look and said, "There are several major shareholders of Qihang downstairs. I'll go down and say hello." When he was about to get up, he seemed to be afraid that Lin Shen would be unhappy, so he explained: "Since we met just now, No, it's inappropriate not to say hello. I'll be up soon."

Li Jibai had already gone downstairs for 1 minute.

Holding a silver fork, Lin Shen fiddled with the small piece of rosemary on the porcelain plate in front of him. 1 minute is very short, so short that he can't think fully and make up his mind; 1 minute is too long, so long that he can clearly hear his accelerating heartbeat, the sound of blood flowing, pulling slowly his sanity.

He turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window, and thought of the countless nights on the island.At that time, he liked to move the only chair in the room to the platform outside the attic, put his legs crossed, and lean back on the back of the chair, feeling the gentle summer night wind blowing over his skin, and every pore was extremely tight. Relaxed and authentic, even breathing with pleasure.

More than ten years of hard work and prudence made him unable to breathe like a bow that is always full of strings. For the first time, he tasted the taste of freedom, which was a joy that even love could not give him.Not to mention that the love at that time has not yet responded, it will always be his business alone.

What about love now?Is it love now?

How much sincerity can Li Jibai trust?How many hurts in the past can be forgotten?How many variables will be able to withstand the grinding in the future?Everything is unsolved.

After taking revenge, Lin Shen finally shed his hard shell, revealing softer and more fragile flesh and blood.He's not strong enough in other ways, strong enough to take all kinds of damage again without shattering completely.

Ask yourself, I'm afraid.

He looked back and looked at the rosemary that he had crushed in the plate again. Time seemed to pass in a flash, and he made a decision at this moment.

The phone is next to the dish.

Li Jibai probably wanted to go and return quickly, so that he left directly after reading the information on the phone.Lin Shen reviewed Li Jibai's expression carefully, and judged that he didn't leave the phone on purpose, and he probably didn't intend to test it.

He stretched his arm a little, and the phone was already in his hand.Li Jibai's birthday, his mother's birthday, and the password are all incorrect.Finally, he gritted his teeth and entered his birthday.

The screen lights up and the phone unlocks.

The code of the Trojan horse was a bit long, Lin Shen tried his best to suppress his trembling fingers, and typed it in quickly and clearly.What Lao Ding said when he gave him this code is still in my ears. This Trojan horse virus is specifically for electronic shackles. After implanting in the mobile phone, the virus will only be activated when the person under surveillance leaves the designated area or deliberately breaks the shackles.After the virus is activated, the monitoring program in the terminal mobile phone will be paralyzed immediately. As long as the user does not take the initiative to check the mobile phone software, it will be difficult to be discovered immediately.The electronic shackles will also become a piece of scrap iron, and all functions will enter a "dead" state.

The code was very long, and Lin Shen quickly entered all of it with his superior memory, and then he had to download a hidden software simultaneously to erase the traces of the code.

Li Jibai will be back at any time, Lin Shen needs to fix his phone before he comes back, and then suppress his roaring heart and tense emotions, and eat the leftover dessert.

"Ah Shen——" A voice came from behind, accompanied by the slight friction of leather shoes on the carpet, it knocked on his heart unexpectedly.Li Jibai's indiscriminate voice sounded: "What are you doing?"
