Do not lie to me

Ji Shuping got up at four o'clock in the morning, and he had to rush back to his villa, otherwise, when Uncle Kang went to pick him up and saw no one, it would be a bit troublesome to explain.

But the trouble now is not Uncle Kang, but Shang Xuechen.As soon as Ji Shuping opened his eyes and made a move, Shang Xuechen immediately reached out and grabbed his arm and held him tightly.

Ji Shuping was scratched by him, but he still held back and shouted at him in a low voice, "Xuechen?"

Shang Xuechen's eyes were closed tightly, as if he was in a deep sleep, but his hands were not loose at all, just like a child unwilling to let go of a beloved toy.

Ji Shuping had no choice but didn't want to wake him up, so he gently grabbed his wrist, trying to make him let go of him.

Shang Xuechen was still awakened by Ji Shuping's actions, he opened his eyes sleepily and asked vaguely, "Where are you going?"

Looking at him like this, Ji Shuping knew that he was still struggling in sleep and hadn't fully woken up, "I have to go. Uncle Kang will be at the gate of the villa in a while."

Although Shang Xuechen let go, he hooked Ji Shuping's neck directly, "I slept here for less than five hours, so why are you here?"

Ji Shuping let him hang on his body, "Isn't it because I miss you?"

Shang Xuechen smiled, and fell asleep again, but he didn't let go of Ji Shuping's hand.Ji Shuping was not in a hurry to leave, he leaned against the head of the bed and hugged him, patted Shang Xuechen's back with one hand, and stroked the top of his head to smooth his hair with the other.Shang Xuechen usually has too many dreams and sleeps restlessly. He often wakes up in the middle of the night, and the next day he often doesn't remember what he did when he woke up in the middle of the night.Only when he runs along his hair like this and strokes the back of his head, can Shang Xuechen have a good night's sleep.

Ji Shuping secretly called his psychiatrist Yang Lian behind Shang Xuechen's back, but no matter how he asked, Yang Lian's answer was because of trauma.Shang Xuechen used to drink a lot in the past, but after getting together, Ji Shuping forced him to stop drinking because of his stomach problems.But after quitting drinking, Shang Xuechen's sleep quality got worse and worse.Only then did Ji Shuping realize that Shang Xuechen used to rely on drinking to fall asleep.His previous bad habits, promiscuity, and alcoholism were all to numb his emotions so that he would not have to think about the past from time to time.

After being together, Ji Shuping considered his body and forced him to get rid of many seemingly bad habits, but those bad habits were the most effective way for him to block the mental trauma from attacking his body.Ji Shuping thought it was for the sake of his body, and Shang Xuechen didn't say a word, but adjusted his schedule and living habits accordingly, which can be called a healthy schedule, but his usually pale face is still not because of this healthy His daily schedule became a little more rosy, but Ji Shuping still couldn't make Shang Xuechen better for his sake.The only thing he can do is to touch his hair and pat his back when he is not sleeping well, so that Shang Xuechen can feel that he is being touched, so that he can feel at ease in his sleep and have someone to accompany him he.

Ji Shuping touched the back of Shang Xuechen's head for a while, and then he felt that Shang Xuechen's hand hooking his neck gradually loosened.Ji Shuping knew that he had fallen asleep with peace of mind.

After laying the person down, he tucked him in the quilt, and was about to get out of bed when Shang Xuechen suddenly opened his eyes again.This time, before he reached out to grab him, Ji Shuping reached out to hold his hand, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, "Sleep well. I have to go, if I don't go, I can't do it anymore. From now on, I will Come with you tonight."

Shang Xuechen rolled his eyelids twice, and murmured, "Remember not to leave me alone. I don't want to be alone anymore." After speaking, he closed his eyes and tilted his head, and fell asleep again.

Ji Shuping stroked the hair on his forehead a few more times, bowed his head and kissed his forehead, "No, I won't leave you alone." Then he got off the bed softly, took his clothes and shoes, carefully closed the door.

It wasn't too late when Ji Shuping drove back to the villa. He had enough time for himself to change into a new suit and change water and feed for the fish. Uncle Kang also arrived.Ji Shuping got into Uncle Kang's car as usual, Uncle Kang opened the door for him, started the car, and asked cautiously before leaving, "Master, did you go out last night?"

Ji Shuping closed his eyes and meditated, "Well, there is no fish food at home. I went out to buy some last night."

Uncle Kang asked tentatively, "I haven't seen Shang Xuechen for a while, is his injury okay?"

Ji Shuping is still resting his eyes with his eyes closed. At this time, if there are unnecessary movements, he will appear guilty. Shang Xuechen told him that when he is suspected, he should pay attention to eye movements. The more his eyes move, the easier it is to expose. , go see him when you have time."

"Before he told me that he was being favored in front of the young master. Didn't the young master indulge him too? Why did he suddenly..."

"His favor also depends on my mood. Being inappropriate is the most annoying thing." Ji Shuping opened his eyes and looked straight at Uncle Kang, "You should know what is inappropriate when you are old."

Uncle Kang lowered his head, "I'm just worried, it wasn't good at first, why did the relationship turn sour?"

"Don't worry. He'll be fine for two days, and I'll reimburse the medical expenses." Ji Shuping looked out the window, "After the dinner that day, I was in a bad mood, so I asked him to stay here with me for a longer time. It's just that he kept trying to get out of bed. I was here to inquire, and I mentioned the incident that day many times, and I couldn't control it for a while, so I vented my anger on him. You can tell the chairman directly like this."

Uncle Kang didn't say anything again, but Ji Shuping was able to arrive at the company quietly all the way.It's just that when he was about to reach the office door, he still heard a noise. The bald director Xu was at the door of his office for some reason, pulling Zhou Yuan to make a noise.

"what happened?"

Seeing Ji Shuping approaching, the two immediately stopped talking.Seeing that no one answered, Ji Shuping looked at Zhou Yuan, then turned his gaze back to Director Xu, "Why do you keep arguing outside my office as soon as you get to work?"

Director Xu was a little embarrassed when asked by Ji Shuping, "It's not noisy, I just came to talk to Zhou Yuan about the situation of the last event. I can't match the account on the financial side, so I wanted to ask Zhou Yuan for it." Her backup data at the time."

Seeing what he said, Zhou Yuan immediately interjected, "My backup data can only be shown to Mr. Ji, and generally cannot be borrowed."

Ji Shuping looked at the two of them, frowned and asked again, "Is that so?"

Supervisor Xu nodded, but Zhou Yuan remained silent.Ji Shuping didn't sleep much last night, and couldn't stand the noise, and it sounded like he just felt a headache, "Let's communicate with the finance side about the account. Zhou Yuan's separate backup is also for the year-end reconciliation of the finance side. Borrow whatever you want."

Director Xu blushed at Ji Shuping's words, and hurriedly answered, "Got it."

Ji Shuping didn't want to say anything more, and rubbed his temples into the office.

Seeing that the man had left, Zhou Yuan grabbed Director Xu and lowered her voice, "What's your matter, you can't tell me in private, you have to quarrel in the company. If everyone knows about the quarrel, do you still want to work?"

"You think I want to. The suppliers I got kickbacks were introduced by you. Now I am being caught and threatened to take money. Where did I get the money? I didn't take kickbacks to pay off the mortgage early And the car loan. That person spoke convincingly because you hid the account book of my kickbacks. I don’t care, you either get rid of that person for me, or we both die!”

"You were threatened?" Zhou Yuan felt a headache when she heard it. Hang Qing's business has not been settled yet, and there is another mistake here. "Who is threatening you?"

"Who else can know that you have the account book in your hand. Zhou Yuan, when you pulled the strings for me, I didn't expect you to hide such a way to deal with me behind you. It is obvious that you borrowed my hand to get kickbacks, and found Your relatives threatened me again and told me to spit out all the money I swallowed, and in the end I took the blame, and you got all the money. You are really poisonous!"

Seeing that he was talking loudly again, Zhou Yuan pressed his shoulder, "Okay, keep your voice down. I'll settle this matter for you, just bear with it."

When Shang Xuechen woke up, he opened his mouth and called first, "Ji Shuping?"

No one answered him, so he turned over to see that there was nothing beside him, and then remembered that Ji Shuping seemed to have left in the early morning.Shang Xuechen scratched his hair and got up from the bed, his clothes had been folded on the bedside table.Shang Xuechen smiled and stretched out his hand to take the clothes and put them on. After getting out of bed, he saw that the slippers were also arranged beside the bed.

He scratched his messy hair, pulled on his slippers and went to the bathroom sleepily, and passed by the living room to see sandwiches made by Ji Shuping on the tea table.Before living in Ji Shuping's house, Ji Shuping would get up early on weekdays to make breakfast. Sometimes the night before was too late, and Ji Shuping would also get up late the next day, so he would make two fast sandwiches for those who hadn't From Shang Xuechen.

When Shang Xuechen saw the sandwiches on the coffee table, he picked up the plate and was about to start eating. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a post-it note on the table with Ji Shuping's words on it, "Remember to have breakfast. You have to brush your teeth first before eating! "

Looking at the reminder on the post-it note, Shang Xuechen put down the dinner plate. Although there was no one to supervise him, he still got up reluctantly and continued to go to the toilet, muttering dissatisfied, "I'm not a child, I'm still a child. You have to tell me to brush my teeth first. I usually get up in the morning and I haven’t brushed my teeth, so you still come up and kiss.”

After tidying up from the toilet, Shang Xuechen sat on the sofa and ate a sandwich while texting Ji Shuping with his mobile phone, "Can you sneak out at work today?"

Ji Shuping's text message was replied quickly, "Are you awake? I don't think it will work today, but there are still many things to do. What are you going to do?"

Shang Xuechen took a bite of the sandwich depressed. He didn't really want Ji Shuping to come out, but he just agreed to buy him a car. Shang Xuechen still thought that Ji Shuping would come out to accompany him to look at the car. Next time, don’t put cucumber and tomato in the sandwich, I don’t like it.”

“Can’t be picky eaters!!!”

Shang Xuechen looked at the text message sent by Ji Shuping with three exclamation points in a row, turned the corner of his mouth down, and complained to the screen, "Hmph, don't worry about me. You are picky eaters yourself." Although he complained, he still ate it all in one bite. Ji Shuping made him a sandwich.

After breakfast, Shang Xuechen went directly to the 4S shop.Although he took Ji Shuping's card and walked around the 4S shop, he finally bought a black Volkswagen.All the formalities were signed and completed, and when the bill was paid by credit card, Ji Shuping called.

"You spent [-] yuan on a car?"

Shang Xuechen sat on the sofa in the 4S store and watched the salesman help him run around, and then answered the phone casually, "Yes. I bought a car."

"Only one hundred thousand?"

Shang Xuechen curled up his fingers and looked at his nails, feeling that Ji Shuping really didn't understand the lives of ordinary people, "The car worth [-] yuan is also very good. It's just a means of transportation."

"Is the brake performance of a [-] car good? Are the seats comfortable enough? How about crisis response? And..."

Shang Xuechen listened to Ji Shuping's questions on the phone. He just sat on the sofa and looked at his nails. When he was bored, he reached out and blew on his nails that were not stained with dust. When he really didn't want to hear Ji Shuping treat him When asked about the new 10 yuan car, Shang Xuechen clenched his fists, "Ji Shuping, do you know how to live? What's wrong with the 10 yuan car? This is the most suitable car for life. You Think everyone drives a luxury car with millions of dollars like you. Is it expensive to use gas? Is maintenance expensive? Have you ever thought about global warming?"

Ji Shuping was reprimanded by Shang Xuechen on the phone, but he was not unhappy.He just likes Shang Xuechen talking to him about the trivial things in these days, it is the atmosphere of the small days that he has never experienced before.I am speechless when you speak like this, Ji Shuping will feel that Shang Xuechen, who was used to being dissolute and smoked in the past, is now more down-to-earth, pulling him to have their own ordinary little life together, Ji Shuping I think this is how they live.

"Then is the car still running smoothly?"

Shang Xuechen turned to the phone with a tone of wanting to teach a lesson, "It's okay, I think it's easy to drive. Are you going to get off work late tonight? If there are too many things, don't come here."

"I try to get off work as early as possible. But it's too early, I can't escape Uncle Kang, maybe I have to go there in the middle of the night."

Shang Xuechen couldn't bear Ji Shuping tossing back and forth like this, "Why don't you come here. You are so busy during the day and sleep less at night, your body can't bear it."

Ji Shuping on the other end of the phone rejected Shang Xuechen's proposal with one sentence, "I won't come, what if you can't sleep at night?"

Shang Xuechen held the phone, slumped his shoulders and lowered his head to look at his toes, "There is wine in the refrigerator."

"Didn't you tell me not to drink?" Ji Shuping's tone was a little anxious, "I asked the doctor, and your current condition is not suitable for drinking anymore. You are too mentally dependent, and it will be difficult to quit in the future, and you have a bad stomach. , Drinking alcohol hurts the liver and stomach. I am worried that if you eat too much and can't get fat, is it because drinking too much is hurting the liver. "

Shang Xuechen was impatient with his nagging, "I have a physical examination every year, and there is nothing serious about it."

"Xuechen, why don't you accept another treatment."

Holding the phone, Shang Xuechen sighed, "Ji Shuping, I know in my heart that what can't be cured, the trauma is irreversible. The only effective way is to escape from anesthesia, and the doctor will only prescribe some anti-anxiety medicine. I Actually, I'm not too anxious now, I'm very happy with you, except when you're heavy on the bed."

When he said that, Ji Shuping just smiled in response to the occasion, so that the other end of the phone could hear his own laughter.But in his heart he was secretly glad that Shang Xuechen was not in front of him, otherwise he would see that he was just smiling.Shang Xuechen obviously forgot about waking up when he fell asleep last night. Ji Shuping actually knew that he was not as light as he said on the phone. He was actually restless and anxious all the time in his heart, but he never admitted it to himself.

"Okay, I see. If you don't want to see a doctor, don't. You still can't drink alcohol. I'll go there tonight."

Shang Xuechen couldn't persuade Ji Shuping, so he hung up the phone, and he sat on the sofa in a daze.In the past, he just suffered from a simple illness. Now that he has faced up to his relationship with Ji Shuping, although he no longer has an aggressive illness like before, the anxiety and even depression in his heart often harass him. Just facing Ji Shuping, He didn't want to transmit these negative emotions to Ji Shuping, so he could only cover them up. That's why he sometimes used Ji Shuping's lack of gentleness as an excuse to lose his temper, so that he wouldn't see that he was actually entangled in all kinds of negative emotions. .

The passing salesperson greeted Shang Xuechen who was sitting, and Shang Xuechen responded with a smile, watching him entertain the new guests.It was a young couple. They walked in excitedly and looked at the suitable car model. The wife's belly bulged slightly. It seemed that they were about to become a family of three.Shang Xuechen smiled and glanced at the wife's swollen belly, thinking that he probably would not have a child of his own in this life. A fortune teller told his uncle that the Shang family might be extinct. Shang Xuechen thought about this It should be on him, Xu Xueshi has changed his gender, so don't let it on him.

Shang Xuechen withdrew his gaze, and continued to slump on the sofa in a daze, "Why?"

Why is he so anxious? It is obvious that the knot between him and Ji Shuping has been untied.
