Deer in the forest

In the morning, Lin Shenlei woke up and ate breakfast unmoved, as if he wasn't the one who couldn't sleep last night.

After drinking the soup made by Aunt Su himself, he felt that he had regained some energy, so he changed his clothes and came to look for Brooke with tools.

Today is Sunday. If there is no accident, Lin Shen can take a day off. This day is also a day for Brooke to take a bath.

When Brook saw Lin Shen, he rushed over from a distance, opened his mouth wide and licked fiercely.Lin Shen rubbed Brook vigorously, and began to bathe the big guy.Adjust the water temperature, wash the whole body first, and then apply shower gel.

Brook only asked Lin Shen to bathe him. He is a principled dog.This is a big project that Lin Shen has to do every weekend. Brook likes to play with foam, and also likes to chase Lin Shen all over the yard.Brooke is very strong, and he has unlimited energy when playing, tossing Lin Shen to the point of exhaustion. He was supposed to take a bath, but every time he engages in adult dog fights.Brooke was very happy today, while avoiding Lin Shen who was holding the shower, while throwing foam everywhere.Lin Shen was out of breath and slumped on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Lin Shen was wearing a white casual shirt that was already half wet. The shirt was half tucked into the overalls, and half was torn out. Because of the excessive force when restraining Brook just now, the collar broke open two buttons.Lin Shen held the brush in one hand and the shower head in the other, and sat there eye-to-eye with Brooke, laughing angrily.

When Li Jibai came out, he saw such a scene.

"I'll help you." Li Jibai strode forward, took the water pipe from Lin Shen's hand, and winked at him.

The two of them had a tacit understanding about bathing Brook, and Lin Shen immediately went around to the wooden tub behind Brook, cracking the foam to attract him.

Strange to say, Brooke likes to play with Lin Shen, but he loves Li Jibai very much. As long as this master appears, it will become good in a second.

Half an hour later, the two of them worked together to wash Brooke clean, and Li Jibai used a blower to blow his fur fluffy and dry, and the work was finally completed.

"How did you bathe him alone during this time? Why is he so skinny now?" The two of them simply sat on the wooden floor in front of the dog house to rest, and Brook, who was tired from playing, was still snuggled up in Li Jibai's arms.

"It's getting more and more difficult to handle now, and it takes twice as long to wash it." Lin Shen rarely relaxes. When he is happy, the end of his speech will unconsciously rise with the corners of his mouth, and his voice is seductive without knowing it. "Every time it ends, I also take a shower."

His hair was also wet, his bangs fell to cover his forehead, and his pair of Ruifeng eyes seemed to be able to suck people in when he smiled.

Li Jibai stared at him for a moment, and an untimely thought suddenly appeared in his heart:

Wei Qidong is really good at picking people.

Lin Shen didn't realize that the eyes of the people next to him had gradually become complicated, and he was still immersed in the happiness that Brook brought him, "But if you also come to help in the future, I guess he won't bother me so much."

The words came out without thinking.By the time Lin Shen realized it was inappropriate, he couldn't take back the words.

Li Jibai just came here by chance today, how could he be asked to come over to help in the future?Besides, what is Li Jibai's identity, and what is his own identity, it is simply too transcendent.

Lin Shen stopped abruptly, glanced uncomfortably into the distance, and fell silent.

"Okay, I'll come and help you later." Li Jibai's deep and pleasant voice sounded beside him.He was inexplicably happy. Lin Shen hadn't talked to him like this for a long time. Although it was a bit out of bounds in terms of identity, it reminded Li Jibai of Lin Shen's previous appearance.

——Without the respectful and deliberate sense of distance between subordinates and subordinates now, Lin Shen is as lively and dependent on him as before.

At that time, they were still studying in country M.

Lin Shen's first 25 years can be summed up in a few words.An orphan was picked up by the Li family when he was 12 years old. Together with a group of children from the orphanage, he was adopted by the Li family and sent to the Li family's private island in the T country to study and train on Baidao.Until the age of 18, as the best of the group of children, he was sent by the old man of the Li family to accompany and take care of Li Jibai who was studying in country M.

After three years of studying abroad, as his right-hand man, he returned to country T with Li Jibai to take over Hongbai, and took care of some dark business for Li Jibai with his outstanding ability.Until now at the age of 25, he has followed Li Jibai for 7 years and is deeply trusted, even becoming the number two person in Hongbai Group.

If there were twists and turns, Lin Shen originally wanted to follow Li Jibai's uncle Li Qingluo back to China, but Li Qingxian stepped in and persuaded the old man to send Lin Shen to country M.

When Lin Shen first arrived in Country M, he treated Li Jibai the same way, very respectful.He knows his identity and never crosses the line.The two lived in a small detached villa near the school, went to school together, and ate together.Lin Shen was two years younger than Li Jibai. Li Jibai was already in the second grade when he came to country M. He could only start from the first grade, and worked hard to keep up with his studies in order to keep pace with Li Jibai.

At that time, Li Jibai was only 20 years old, and the two had been together for a long time, and there were no elders around to watch them, so it was inevitable that their youthful nature would be revealed.The two of them would also hang out at bars, drink, and have fun at parties. Over time, Lin Shen was not as restrained as he was at the beginning.

Breaking away from Baidao's boring, day-to-day study and training, and entering a new environment without external disturbances, Lin Shen gradually became closer to Li Jibai, and his dependence and trust in him also increased day by day.

That's when Brooke bought it together.

When Brooke first arrived, he was still a little kid, and Lin Shen could grab it with one hand, press it in the bathtub and wash it clean.Later, he couldn't hold it any longer, so Li Jibai stepped in to help.The two boys took off their shirts and only wore a pair of shorts, fighting wits with the dog in the bathtub. Every time they took a bath, the bathroom seemed to experience a tsunami.

Later, Li Jibai felt that this was not possible, so he bought a big wooden bucket and took Brook to the yard to wash.Unexpectedly, Brook has completely liberated his nature since then, and became even more lawless, often running around in the yard covered in water, and the two had no choice but to follow the yard to chase and intercept him.Brook knows that dogs look down on people and specialize in "bullying" Lin Shen, but he wags his tail happily to Li Jibai.

Lin Shen was often thrown to the ground by him, unable to move, and could only stare blankly while holding the brush. It was only with the help of Li Jibai that this huge project could be completed.

Later, the two returned to China, and Brook followed.

It's just that bathing it has gradually become a matter for Lin Shen alone.

Lin Shen obviously also thought of the past, and his expression was a little dazed.Then he heard Li Jibai say "I'll come to help in the future", a slight surprise flashed across his face.

He can fully respond officially at this time, sir, you are so busy, you don't need to come over to help.

But he said hello out of nowhere, the voice was so soft that Li Jibai even thought it was an auditory hallucination.

Li Jibai patted him on the shoulder, and joked with him with a bigger smile: "Don't be so cute."

"Ah Shen," Li Jibai suppressed his smile, and called his name seriously, just like those days and nights in country M, his tone was plain but with soothing power, "I won't take the people around me." People trade benefits, especially you."

A light seemed to fly across Lin Shen's heart, and the long-silent darkness in every corner of his body was suddenly rekindled.Lin Shen knew that maybe they had never been extinguished, and as long as there was a little fire, they would be able to erupt instantly as before.

"I said Brook is so good! It turns out that he has both parents today!" Li Zhu jumped out from behind the dog house with his mobile phone in his hand. The rare peace between the two of them and the dog was broken. Li Jibai raised his eyebrows and looked at him with an unfriendly expression. This annoying little brother.

Lin Shen suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, stood up quickly, and said, "You talk, I will clean up."

"Hey, Ah Shen, why are you leaving?" Li Zhu called out to Lin Shen who had gone far away, and when he saw that he was ignored, he sat down resentfully beside his brother.

Li Jibai looked at the direction where Lin Shen was leaving, with deep eyes.After he said that sentence just now, Lin Shen's eyes turned red instantly. Even though he lowered his head, he still couldn't hide the blush at the end of his eyes.

This person is still the same as before, no matter how cold and reserved the outside is, the inside is still soft.

Li Jibai sighed, feeling a little inexplicably sour in his heart.

Li Zhu took out his mobile phone and handed it to Li Jibai, "Brother, look how well I took pictures of your family of three!"

On the screen was a photo of them bathing Brook just now. He bent down and grabbed Brook’s body with both hands. Lin Shen squatted aside and used a brush to scrub the foam. look.

He stared at Lin Shen's smiling face for a long time, those eyes seemed to gather the myriad phenomena of the stars, shining brightly with the smile.

Those eyes were not looking at Brooke, but Li Jibai.

"Brother—" Li Chu was also looking at this photo at the moment, and said thoughtfully, "The way Ah Shen looks at you...it doesn't look like a brotherhood!"

"Brother, brother," Li Zhu yelled again, his expression full of surprise, "Ah Shen doesn't really like you, does he? Oh my god! No wonder, no wonder Mr. Meng wanted to give him that boy, he No! Also, Wei Qidong is actually not bad-looking, and has money. Although he looks abnormal, it is not impossible to use it to comfort his lonely youth. So it turns out that he has someone he likes!"

Li Jibai couldn't stand it anymore, his younger brother loves to talk nonsense, and when it comes to love, he is even more out of tune, any kind of relationship can make him create a heart-wrenching plot.

"Get out!" Li Jibai cursed, "One more word, and I'll lock you up in the basement, and you won't be able to come out for three months."

Li Zhu immediately shut up.

He knew that his brother could do this kind of thing. When he was a child, he was locked up in the basement because of some trivial matters. He said he would be locked up for a few days, and even the old man was not accommodating when he came to intercede.

Seeing that his brother was really angry, Li Zhu also felt that he had joked too much. Although he closed his mouth, the thirst for knowledge and exploration were still burning brightly on his face.

"Ah Shen is someone who has been cultivated by the Li family for many years. He is loyal and capable. This kind of person can only be used in work. Once mixed with other things, it is easy to change things. Do you understand?" Li Ji's eyes were condensed. Looking at Li Zhu intently, he continued, "In other words, he has been getting more and more involved in the affairs of Hongbai and the Li family in the past few years. A great loss."

"I know you have a close relationship with him, but don't mention such things in the future, because you are the Li family first." Li Jibai warned.

Oh, it turns out that his brother doesn't love Ah Shen.Li Zhu thought to himself.

If you love someone, how can you analyze the other person's interests so calmly!

But no matter how dandy Li Zhu is, he also knows the seriousness, and immediately promises that he will never do it again.

The two brothers chatted for a while, and Lin Shen quickly changed his clothes and came back, telling Li Jibai that he had a dinner at noon, and he had to leave now.

The fear and anxiety of the past few days disappeared because of Li Jibai's words, and Lin Shen looked relaxed and fresh in his brows and eyes.

Li Zhu silently watched the two leave together, feeling distressed and regretful for no reason.
