Deer in the forest

Seeing that he hung up the phone with Lin Shen, Shen Junhuai came over and urged him to take a bath: "The seaside is very humid, and you haven't slept well, hurry up and take a hot bath, or you will catch a cold again."

Lu Qingchen was still muttering about Lin Shen, Shen Junhuai had already told him the general situation just now, plus what Lin Shen himself said during the camping night, he has basically understood the whole picture now, and couldn't help but Lin Shenming was even more dissatisfied.

"Jun Huai—" Lu Qingchen's tone was drawn out, coquettishly, "You can't tell that Bai, don't let him find Ah Ming. This person sounds really bad."

"Okay, I won't tell him, he is very bad." Shen Junhuai coaxed him and helped him undress until he saw him lying comfortably in the bathtub and closed his eyes, "Don't fall asleep, soak for a while and I'll call you." Then After checking the temperature of the bathroom again, he quietly opened the door and went out.

On the terrace, Shen Junhuai made a call.

The servant was cleaning the living room, and he could see Shen Junhuai sitting on the sofa on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his shadow was blurred and his posture was relaxed. He was still talking on the phone, but he couldn't hear what he said clearly.

After a while, Shen Junhuai came out holding the phone.He glanced at his watch and guessed that it was time to call Lu Qingchen out, that guy must have fallen asleep in the bathtub again. "Don't talk, if you come here, keep a low profile, don't scare people, and don't mess up again."

Before hanging up the phone, he asked: "Also, this matter has nothing to do with me."

After finally hanging up the phone and deleting the call history, he slowly walked towards the bedroom.

Lin Shen was worried for a week, but he was fine.

Liu Guang had a small salon, and Lu Qingchen made an appointment with him again, and he gradually relaxed, so he readily accepted the appointment.In the afternoon when the salon was in, he sat in the corner and listened quietly. After Lu Qingchen finished his work, he came to visit him, delivering a piece of cake for a while, and a cup of coffee for a while.

"I'm not a child, you're busy with your work, don't worry about me." Lin Shen watched him coming again, feeling a little helpless.

Lu Qingchen sat down next to each other, held a business card in his hand, and winked at him: "Someone asked me for your contact information!" He pointed with his chin to a tall M country standing not far away. The young man was very handsome, with curly hair and fair skin. When he saw Lin Shen looking at him, he quickly raised his wine glass as a signal, and showed a hearty smile.

"Get to know each other?" Lu Qingchen smiled slyly, "Sean has been paying attention to you for a long time, and I have always wanted your phone number, but I didn't give it to you. He is nice, young and talented, and the key is good-looking. I heard that he was in the last camping. If you come, he will go with you, but it has been a pity that he has been delayed because of some activities. If he asks you out, he must go.

"A Ming, people have to move forward, you are so good, you deserve the best lover."

Just as he was talking, Sean walked towards the two of them.

After a brief introduction to each other, Lu Qingchen found an excuse and left.

Sean is a typical M country style, speaking straight to the point, and expressing frankly when he likes it. "Lu said you are single, I like you very much, let's have a drink together after the salon?"

When Lin Shen was studying abroad, he was often invited on dates by his classmates, but at that time he was only studying around Li Jibai, and he was indifferent to other people's pursuits, so no one asked him out over time.

Seeing that Lin Shen didn't respond, Sean was a little embarrassed. He heard that Orientals are more reserved and introverted. They usually don't directly refuse things they don't want to do. Silence means polite rejection.But he likes Lin Shen so much. When he first saw Lin Shen, he felt that this person fit his aesthetics everywhere, so he became a little anxious, "Ming, you have an idiom called love at first sight, and I love you. If you think it is too Come on, let's take our time, and when you think it's appropriate, we'll be together again."

After finishing speaking, he stared at Lin Shen with a pair of deep blue eyes.

Lin Shen was really inexperienced in this kind of thing, and he was a little embarrassed, so he had to say a few high-sounding words of entertainment, "We can be friends", "Thank you for your liking", "We will keep in touch in the future", etc. There is no actual content, and it is all about loneliness.

Unexpectedly, Sean was greatly encouraged, as if he had already caught up with Lin Shen, and immediately started chatting attentively.In the end, even when Lin Shen got up to go to the bathroom, he had to follow closely, which made Lin Shen even more embarrassed.

After the salon was over, Lu Qingchen booked a Chinese restaurant and invited a few familiar painters to gather together.Lin Shen wanted to go back, but Lu Qingchen naturally refused to let him go. If Lin Shen didn't go, Sean would follow.Not long after, Shen Junhuai also came.So, a group of seven or eight people went to eat lively.

Seeing Shen Junhuai again, Lin Shen was still a little nervous, but fortunately, Lu Qingchen was circling around, and Shen Junhuai didn't say a word. He has no time to care.

Eat lively, drink wine to your heart's content.

Shen Junhuai brought a few bottles of old wine in his private possession. Everyone rarely drank authentic baijiu. As soon as they tasted it, they only felt silky and mellow, so they cheered up one by one. Unexpectedly, the wine was full of stamina, and they poured down a piece after a while. .

Shen Junhuai poured a full glass of white wine, and pushed it to Lin Shen calmly: "30 years old, try it."

Shen Junhuai toasted, there was no reason not to drink.Lin Shen glanced at the hot drink in front of him, and then at the clear white wine, feeling dizzy for a while.He turned his head to look for Lu Qingchen again, and found that the guy was already drunk and was smiling silly with a painter who came with him.

He considered his words and sincerely refused: "Senior Brother Shen, I don't drink."

Shen Junhuai raised his eyebrows, and looked a little puzzled: "Can't drink, or can't drink? Did you not drink alcohol when you were socializing before?"

"I used to drink it when I was socializing, but later..." Lin Shen raised his eyes to look at the imposing person in front of him, and his expression faded when he spoke again, "Later, someone drugged the wine, and since then, I never Stop drinking."

Shen Junhuai was taken aback, obviously not expecting such an answer, cursed inwardly, and immediately took back the wine glass in front of Lin Shen.

"Then don't drink it." After he finished speaking, he drank the rest of the wine, and said to Lin Shen again: "Qingchen drank too much, I will take him back first, and you should leave early!" Said Then he looked at Sean next to him, but didn't say anything.

Shen Junhuai lifted Lu Qingchen up, put a coat on him, wrapped him in a scarf, and coaxed the moaning people out.Everyone was about to go out, and they didn't forget to hold the door frame and call back to Lin Shen: "Ming, ask Sean to take you back!" Then he turned his head with great effort, and went to call Sean, only to hear a series of "Okay" from Sean's mouth. Alright," shouted out, do you need someone else to tell you this kind of thing!

With a little strength, Shen Junhuai pulled Lu Qingchen off the door frame and carried him away.

After getting into the car and settling down Lu Qingchen who had already fallen asleep, Shen Junhuai took out his phone, thought about it, and sent a message.

Sean drove Lin Shen downstairs, and Lin Shen said goodbye politely.

Sean reluctantly said: "Ming, I hope to invite me to your house for coffee next time." After finishing speaking, he didn't care about anything else, he stepped forward and gave Lin Shen a big bear hug, and then whispered "Sweet dream" , Only then did he step and turn around and get in the car and left.

Although he didn't drink alcohol, he was dizzy from the smell of alcohol all night. Lin Shen just wanted to go home, take a shower and lie down.Before turning to go up the steps, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black car parked across the road.Parking is not allowed on this section of the road, so he couldn't help but take another look.

Just at this moment, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

There was a man leaning in front of the car door, facing his direction, and seemed to be staring at him.

The street lamp in front of the door was broken a few days ago and has not been repaired, making the whole road look dark.The man was dressed in black, and it blended into the body of the car in the night. It was hard to spot without looking carefully. I don't know how long I stood there or looked at him.

The figure and posture of the man...

Lin Shen's mind exploded suddenly, his eyes contracted violently, he didn't dare to look any more, walked up the steps and pushed open the door.The stairs on the third floor seem to be infinitely long at this moment, his footsteps are chaotic, and he can hear his heart that is about to roar out.Impossible, it cannot be that person!

He almost ran towards the third floor at a gallop, telling himself as he ran, it was impossible for Li Jibai to find him, absolutely impossible.But his intuition told him again, that person is, and that person is here again.

The creaking stairs stimulated his nerves, and he instinctively wanted to hide himself, so he hurried home, and he could hide when he got home.

He was wearing a thick woolen coat today, and the scarf came loose due to violent movements.When he finally arrived at the door, Lin Shen shook his hands to find the keys, but he didn't find them in his pocket, so he went to his inner pocket again. The bunch of small keys happened to be against him at this time, and he couldn't find them no matter what.

"Ash—"

All movements were still, and time and space were also frozen in an instant. A deep and hoarse voice sounded behind him. The familiar breath was close at hand, and he was frozen within a square inch.

Lin Shen didn't look back, the hand holding the key trembled slightly, and his shoulders tried their best not to collapse.

That breath approached slowly, cautiously but without hesitation, it engulfed him completely.He closed his eyes, he couldn't escape what was supposed to come.

"Ah Shen—" Li Jibai tried his best to slow down his tone, and lowered his eyes slightly to look at the person whose back was facing him.Lin Shen was stuck in a small corridor by himself and the door, and he couldn't avoid it. His hair, earlobes, and neck were so vivid and real that people couldn't help but want to hold them in their hands and never let go.

But he remembered the message Shen Junhuai sent him: "He didn't drink, he will go home soon. If you really want to save it, stop doing stupid things." So he tried hard to suppress the longing and anxiety of more than three months, Do your best to appear gentle and approachable.

"Don't be afraid," he gently stroked the other's shoulder, feeling the warmth and trembling under his palm.

"I'm not here to take you back, I'm here to accompany you."
