Do not lie to me

It was not until five o'clock, and the sky was still blue and black.Shang Xuechen stood on the side of the road and probed, the potholed concrete road under his feet extended in sight, until it was swallowed by blackness in the distance.Shang Xuechen kicked the uneven road under his feet and let out a "tsk" sound from the corner of his mouth impatiently, then looked up at the tungsten filament lamp that was wrapped around the wire post and emitting dim light.

The roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, let alone street lights.I don't know who wrapped the light bulbs around the pillars to illuminate a section of light for those who are driving at night, or to remind passing buses to stop and pick them up.Shang Xuechen looked up at the big light bulb flashing twice above his head that was about to be extinguished, followed by puffing his cheeks in boredom, and finally couldn't help asking Ji Shuping, "Didn't you say that the car is coming soon, so you have to leave quickly? Why didn't you wait until now?" Saw the car."

Ji Shuping stood silently by the side of the road, not knowing if he was embarrassed by Shang Xuechen's words because he had miscalculated the time, he nodded slightly and only looked at the ditch behind the road.

Shang Xuechen was really bored waiting, put an arm on Ji Shuping's shoulder, and asked, "What time is it?"

Ji Shuping didn't answer, Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at him, saw that he still turned his head only to show himself the back of his head, and his eyes were still only fixed on the ditch by the roadside.Shang Xuechen tilted his head and glanced at the muddy ditch on the side of the road, and he didn't know where Ji Shuping was attracted.He didn't bother to ask any more, he took out his phone from his pocket and planned to turn it on to check the time.

Just as he took out the phone from his pocket, Ji Shuping grabbed his wrist.Shang Xuechen was so taken aback by Ji Shuping's sudden action, he stroked his chest and asked, "Why?"

Ji Shuping glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, and without saying a word, he relaxed a little and put his hand on his shoulder.Shang Xuechen was puzzled, glanced at Ji Shuping and asked, "What do you want?"

Ji Shuping finally smiled at him, this smile made Shang Xuechen lose his temper.He put Shang Xuechen's other arm around his waist, "Aren't you bored? I remembered that at the reception, I didn't take you to dance first. You are always afraid that we will have a good time when we go abroad. Life will be boring, why don't I come and teach you how to dance, and I will dance with you often in the future."

"Dancing?" Shang Xuechen looked at him suspiciously, then turned his head to see that there were no spare people on this cold road, then turned his head to look at Ji Shuping and said, "But I can't."

Ji Shuping bent slightly, and Shang Xuechen, who was leading him, also leaned back/body, and put his arm around his waist when he straightened up, "It's okay, I'll teach you." As he said, he bent his knees and stretched his legs to Shang Xuechen's legs Time to get his legs out of the way.Shang Xuechen was caught off guard, his body swayed unsteadily at first, but before he could react, Ji Shuping put his arms around his waist and looked like he was going to put him on the ground, but it was not. The person lands directly.

Shang Xuechen was taken aback by his sudden movement, hooked his shoulder tightly with one hand, and firmly grasped Ji Shuping's waist with the other. Look, I just looked up to look at Ji Shuping.It just so happened that they were right under the lamp post, and Shang Xuechen couldn't see Ji Shuping's face clearly when he looked up, because he could only see a general outline because of the backlight.Shang Xuechen was dazzled by the light, so he could only squint and say, "Help me up quickly. If there is still dancing, dance, don't make such sudden movements, I will throw my phone out of fear." Shang Xuechen Chen's hand was still holding the phone on Ji Shuping's shoulder.

Ji Shuping didn't speak, and danced with open and closed movements, and the silence only caught Shang Xuechen off guard.Ji Shuping violently lifted up the person leaning on the ground with his arms around him, and before Shang Xuechen could stand still, he led the person around in a circle at different paces.

This turn directly turned Shang Xuechen into a daze, first loosened his hand, and then subconsciously grabbed Ji Shuping.When the person stood still, he also heard a "boom", and the phone flew out and drew an arc, directly sinking into the quagmire beside the road.Shang Xuechen looked past Ji Shuping and looked at the ditch behind him, "My phone fell into the ditch!"

Ji Shuping didn't let go when he heard the corner of his lips hooked, he just followed Shang Xuechen's back and forth steps and danced under the lamp.Shang Xuechen said to him with a bitter face, "I lost my mobile phone, and you are still in the mood to dance with me."

"Anyway, it's all dropped and covered in mud. I'll buy you a new one when I get back. Finish the dance first, and it's impolite to interrupt suddenly."

Shang Xuechen glanced at him, "Since when did you see that I've been polite to others?" He said so, but he still gave Ji Shuping accommodating to finish the dance.

The sky finally turned white, and the tungsten lamp above the head was still on, emitting soft light to cover the dancing people under the lamp.Shang Xuechen had never danced ballroom dancing with anyone, and he had no way of following his feet, and would always accidentally step on Ji Shuping's feet, once he stepped on, his face would turn red from embarrassment.Originally, he wanted to shake his hands and not jump, but as soon as Ji Shuping sensed his intention, he clenched his hands tightly, hugged his waist, made a roundabout and then slid, so that Shang Xuechen could only follow suit.At the end of the jump, Shang Xuechen didn't dare to look around, but concentrated on staring at his feet, for fear that he would step on Ji Shuping's foot again if he followed the wrong steps.

Ji Shuping led him, Shang Xuechen only looked at his feet, but Ji Shuping only looked at him, watching him pursing his mouth nervously for fear of making a wrong step, watching his blushing face imprinted on him by the warm yellow light heart.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a car approaching not far away, Ji Shuping breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the hand around Shang Xuechen's waist, held him with only one hand, pulled his hand to the top of his head and let him turn around Only then did Ji Shuping put his hands in front of his abdomen, and half bent down to make a gentleman's salute, indicating that the dance was over.

After stopping, Shang Xuechen also heaved a sigh of relief before smiling at Ji Shuping.The car stopped right behind him, Ji Shuping took his hand and quickly stepped into the car, saying, "Let's go, let's elope."

Shang Xuechen just laughed when he heard this, and when he found a seat in the car and sat down safely, the driver also closed the door and drove out of the car slowly, Shang Xuechen suddenly remembered, and stuck his head out of the car window to face them Just danced somewhere yelling, "Oops, my phone!"

Ji Shuping pulled the man back and asked him to sit on the seat. "If you lose it, just throw it away. I'll buy you a new one when I get back. You sit down first or you will get motion sickness again."

Shang Xuechen collapsed into the seat, squinting at Ji Shuping, "Why do I think you're a little gloating?"

"Is there?" Ji Shuping just lowered his eyebrows and sat dignifiedly as usual.

Shang Xuechen twisted his body and squinted his eyes to look at him, then pointed his index finger at Ji Shuping's nose and said, "Yes, look at your expression at the moment, it's so listless. I don't even know How many times have I been fooled by your human-looking image."

Ji Shuping smiled and wrapped his hand around him and pointed at his index finger, "You're just angry, so you're going to make trouble with me now. I can understand, I will give you an extra card when you go back, or eat whatever you want, I don't limit."

Hearing what Ji Shuping said, Shang Xuechen was discouraged and fell into Ji Shuping's arms. He lay on Ji Shuping's lap and hummed unhappily, "Hmph, my mobile phone. You have to give me a black card. I have to eat three family buckets at a time, and I have to eat five hot pot meals and six Sichuan dishes! I want to eat maocai, fragrant pot, skewers and spicy rabbit head!"

"Okay." Ji Shuping agreed with a smile, picked up Shang Xuechen who was lying on his lap, let him lean on his chest, stroked his hair to comfort him, and stopped moaning when Shang Xuechen calmed down Only then did he stop smiling and turn back to take a cold look at the pillar standing on the place where they were dancing.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off."

"Why did you turn off the phone all night!" Xu Xueshi slammed the phone down angrily, just as Mrs. Shao opened the door and came in, the phone fell at her feet.Madam Shao frowned and glanced at Xu Xueshi who was sitting on the sofa.

Xu Xueshi fled to Mrs. Shao's restaurant in embarrassment last night, and now he doesn't care much about his image. He only glanced sideways at Mrs. Shao and then looked away.He didn't plan to call Shang Xuechen anymore, at least not in front of Mrs. Shao.If Mrs. Shao hadn't thought that she hid Shang Xuechen abroad, she wouldn't have helped her at all.

"Who are you calling?" Mrs. Shao sat on the sofa opposite him and asked him.

"To my subordinates, I want to ask how the situation is now, but I can't get through any of them."

"No wonder you dropped your phone so irritablely." Mrs. Shao picked up the cup at hand and drank her lipstick tea without haste, "Stop calling, your casino has been blocked. Now I can only help you hide from the limelight, you Don't show up for the time being. The piece of land we cooperated with Ji's has also been investigated. Ji's side is also in a mess now, I guess we can't get along harmoniously."

Seeing her still calm, Xu Xueshi asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"How to do it?" Mrs. Shao sighed, "Let's take a step at a time? The reception is already being prepared, and I don't care about Mrs. Ji's help to express my opinion at that time, so I can only urge the old man to push me and Ji'er in front of the public. Get the master to announce the heir before Ji's breath is over." Mrs. Shao looked up at Xu Xueshi and asked, "Do you have an inner ghost under your command, or did your opponent put a water ghost in your place? Otherwise, how did you escape last night?" You are so embarrassed? Didn’t you say that the secret passage was also blocked? Who else can know it except yourself?”

Xu Xueshi clenched his fists, except for his own people, the last time Shang Xuechen went to the casino and went crazy, he asked someone to take him and Ji Shuping past.That's why he kept calling Shang Xuechen just now to ask if he really came to find out the last time he came.

Mrs. Shao was still looking at him, Xu Xueshi stabilized his emotions, and only told her, "It may be that my subordinates are not clean and were mixed into undercover agents."

"Yes." Mrs. Shao reminded him, "Don't follow the old path of the second master."

Xu Xueshi looked up at Mrs. Shao, and suddenly smiled. Mrs. Shao frowned uncomfortably, because that laugh sounded more like a mockery, but Mrs. Shao couldn't tell that Xu Xueshi was laughing at herself. Who is this mocking.Mrs. Shao only heard Xu Xueshi on the other side say, "I hope. I hope we don't follow the old path of the second uncle."

The car stopped, Shang Xuechen jumped out of the car, Ji Shuping followed him out of the car, looked at Shang Xuechen who was stretching in front of him, and reached out to touch his head, "You look very energetic today."

"Of course." Shang Xuechen raised his head and stretched his arms, straightened his body to stretch his whole body, and then looked at Ji Shuping, "Your stomach is full this morning." He patted himself while talking belly.

Ji Shuping couldn't help laughing, and pulled Shang Xuechen forward, "Let's go."

Shang Xuechen dragged him with his body down, "Wait a minute!"

Ji Shuping stopped to look at him, "You still don't want to go?"

Shang Xuechen stood up straight and shook his head, "No, but what name do we use to visit the door? Is it not good to rush there without an excuse?"

"Name?" Ji Shuping propped his chin and thought, "Are you telling the truth?"

Shang Xuechen twitched the corner of his mouth, "Could it be that you told her mother that you met when she was sitting on the stage? If her mother was sad, she might throw us out."

Ji Shuping lowered his hands and sighed, "But Wen Ting doesn't know many people." As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Xuechen had a flash of inspiration, and he turned around and looked at Ji Shuping and said, "Say yes The classmate who used to have a good friendship was asked by her to take care of her family for a little while?"

"So you come to visit in the name of Qi Liang?" Ji Shuping asked him cautiously.

Shang Xuechen puffed his cheeks and thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, "No way, Qi Liang was the only one who had a good friendship with her back then. Let's go, buy some fruit and come visit."

Ji Shuping followed Shang Xuechen who was walking towards the fruit shop by the roadside, put his arm on his shoulder and squeezed, to tell him not to think too much.Shang Xuechen stopped in front of the fruit stand, and took an apple in his hand, "Remember, I haven't seen Qi Liang for a while. I accompanied Brother Zhou to send invitations, and his shop was closed. It's strange, what happened to Qi Liang recently? They didn't find me either."

Ji Shuping's hand on his shoulder slipped down, and he just lowered his head and stretched out his hand to pretend to pick some fruit, without mentioning the agreement he had reached with Qi Liang.

Shang Xuechen didn't notice anything unusual about Ji Shuping, so he calmed down and turned to call the boss to help him decorate a fruit basket.When the people walked away from him, Ji Shuping raised his head to look at Shang Xuechen.Shang Xuechen was laughing and negotiating the price with the boss. He was always like this. He could always get on the right side of the conversation with outsiders. He laughed and laughed and never made people notice that he was a mentally unstable patient, even though his face was always pale and abnormal, but As long as he smiles and picks up others, others will regard him as normal.

You don't want to appear in front of Shang Xuechen.

Ji Shuping remembered the request he made to Qiliang. He looked at Shang Xuechen's smiling face, squeezed the apple in his hand, and thought he was selfish. As long as he didn't worry, no matter how selfish he was, he would be hated by others. , as long as he is happy and not disturbed, he will still be harsh on others.Ji Shuping squeezed the apple tightly, staring at Shang Xuechen's face and thinking in his heart.

As if his gaze was too hot, Shang Xuechen sensed it, turned his head and met Ji Shuping's eyes, and then smiled.Ji Shuping lost his usual composure, showing the panic of being caught stealing food and avoiding Shang Xuechen's eyes.

Shang Xuechen came forward, and Ji Shuping was worried that he would see the strange expression on his face, so he turned his body and lowered his head to pick and choose at the fruit stand, pretending that he was busy.

Shang Xuechen walked up to him and called out, "Hello."

Ji Shuping stopped picking at the stalls, and waited for Shang Xuechen's next words with a stiff body and some unease. He was afraid that Shang Xuechen had already seen that he was hiding.

Shang Xuechen took his hand, turned his body to face him, carefully looked at the suit on Ji Shuping's body, then took two steps back and propped his chin in thought, "You're not good at it. When I open the door, I just put the suit on." When you came to sell insurance, you just turned it away."

Ji Shuping looked down at the suit on his body, lying on the thin wooden bed in the hostel all night and getting up early without being able to iron it, the suit had already wrinkled a lot, and the wrinkled ones really didn't look good.Looking at the suit on his body, Ji Shuping frowned, and when he looked up, he saw Shang Xuechen smiling at him maliciously.

Shang Xuechen let go of the hand that was holding his chin, "Since you're visiting in the name of a classmate, of course you can't wear it like this, it doesn't look very approachable."

Ji Shuping looked at him and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Shang Xuechen pointed behind him, and when Ji Shuping turned his head, he saw the signboard of a clothing store dangling in the air, and the mannequins under the signboard were wearing middle-aged and elderly polo shirts with outdated styles and bad colors.Ji Shuping frowned, and before the monk Xuechen could protest, he was pushed towards the clothing store.Shang Xuechen pushed Ji Shuping to the clothing store with a full stomach, and he still didn't forget to turn around and tell the owner of the fruit shop loudly, "The boss's fruit basket looks better for me, and I also want a big watermelon."

Ji Shuping was pushed all the way by Shang Xuechen to this clothing store with local characteristics. The proprietress in the store was knocking sunflower seeds to see the love of the country.Seeing a handsome tall man coming in, he quickly clapped his hands and got up to say hello, "Handsome guy, come and have a look and see if you like anything."

Ji Shuping glanced at the store, but he didn't like anything at all, so he wanted to say thank you, turned around and left, but at this moment, Shang Xuechen, who was behind him, came out from behind him tilting his head and smiled at the proprietress, saying, "The proprietress is at the door. Bring the clothes on that model for our handsome guy to try on."

The proprietress was only looking at Ji Shuping and never expected that there was someone behind him.Ji Shuping was tall and burly, with broad shoulders and long legs. Shang Xuechen pushed him into this clothing store with great effort. Ji Shuping happened to block him from the front, and of course the proprietress didn't notice.At this moment, the proprietress was stroking her chest with her hand wearing a gold ring and said to Shang Xuechen, "I was scared to death, handsome boy. Wait a minute and I'll get it for you. I have a good eye. That dress It's a new style."

Hearing this, Ji Shuping couldn't help but blush. Is it just an old-fashioned dress or a new style?He looked down at Shang Xuechen who poked his head out from behind him, and Shang Xuechen grinned at him.Ji Shuping didn't say anything to him, but shook his head helplessly.

But when the proprietress handed him the pink and white striped polo shirt, Ji Shuping suddenly had the idea of ​​buying regret medicine.Shang Xuechen seemed to know that he was going to repent, so he quickly took the clothes from the proprietress, shook them twice, unfolded them and sent them to Ji Shuping, and said expectantly, "Put them on quickly and let me see. The clothes Tian wears are either black or gray, which makes people feel too distant. Come on, let me see if I wear something more beautiful today."

The lady proprietress of the clothing store standing aside helped to speak up, "Oh, the clothes in my store are the most fashionable in this area. Young man, don't dress too old. Wear something brighter. When you come home at night, my wife will take the initiative to warm up your head."

When Ji Shuping heard the proprietress boast that the dress was fashionable, Ji Shuping first twitched his temples, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he raised his head and looked at Shang Xuechen playfully, and then asked the proprietress, "Who is really active in wearing this dress?" Is it hot?"

"That's right, I promise you at night, hehehehehehehe, it's inappropriate for me to tell you guys this at my age, hahahahahaha." The proprietress smiled happily while covering her stomach.

Now it was Shang Xuechen's turn to dance at the temple amidst the boss's wife's laughter. He held up the clothes and glanced at Ji Shuping. Ji Shuping's eyes clearly wanted him to agree to wear the clothes.Shang Xuechen glanced at the "fashionable and avant-garde" dress in his hand, and was weighing whether it was worth it in his mind. Finally, when the proprietress was talking about how good Ji Shuping would look in this dress, he finally spoke, "The proprietress is right, as long as you wear it, someone will take the initiative to make a fuss tonight."

As soon as he said this, Ji Shuping took the clothes and went into the fitting room without saying a word.Shang Xuechen braced his waist and sighed, thinking how he would pay himself for seeing him make a joke.The lady proprietress of the clothing store standing beside her was looking at Shang Xuechen. Feeling the gaze, Shang Xuechen shivered, and then he noticed that it was the lady proprietress who was looking at him.

The proprietress met his gaze, first she chuckled, and then nudged Shang Xuechen with her elbow, "Young man, you can choose one too, I have a recent discount, the second one is [-]% off."

Shang Xuechen looked up at the middle-aged and elderly people's clothes hanging on the wall, shook his body/wasted his hands, "No, no, we can buy one."

Ji Shuping just came out with a change of clothes. The pink and white striped polo shirt was designed for middle-aged people with beer bellies. Black suit pants are even more nondescript.But Shang Xuechen only pressed the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up, and said something against his will, "Well, it matches you quite well."

"That's not right." The proprietress said good things about doing business, and Ji Shuping still has a face to support, so it doesn't look bad to wear it like this. She went up to tidy up Ji Shuping's clothes and helped him with the collar of his polo shirt. He stood up, and said with satisfaction, "Oh, it's old fashion."

Shang Xuechen finally couldn't help laughing out loud, but was swallowed by the cold light in Ji Shuping's eyes.Ji Shuping snorted through his nose tube, turned his head to look at the clothes hanging on the wall, as if he was picking out clothes, and asked the proprietress, "I just heard that the second one is [-]% off?"

Shang Xuechen froze and stood where he was, feeling that something was wrong.
