Do not lie to me

Because of the renovation of the house, Ji Shuping took Shang Xuechen to live in the hotel apartment.At the beginning, Shang Xuechen kept yelling that he didn't want to, and all kinds of excuses came out, such as no sense of belonging in a hotel, didn't like the food in the hotel, didn't like someone coming into their room to clean it, etc., and so on.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Shang Xuechen was reluctant to part with the money, because Ji Shuping was too good at spending money, the original 20 decoration fee, as long as Ji Shuping went to have a meeting with the designer, there would be a lot of extra expenses later.Originally, Shang Xuechen didn't think it was necessary to redecorate. Brother Zhou's original decoration was pretty good, and he lived in the house for almost half a year before the redecoration, but he didn't see any major problems.

But Ji Shuping didn't agree, and felt that a house of 130 square meters was not enough, so he had to renovate, plan and use the space rationally, and had to redecorate.Shang Xuechen also struggled to settle the bills with him, and the bills of expenses floated all over the floor. Shang Xuechen spit and spit, and spoke so earnestly that his mouth was dry, but in the end he was defeated. up.It's not because Ji Shuping is better at settling accounts than Shang Xuechen, he just picked up his coffee and took a sip while listening to Shang Xuechen's thoughts, and when he put down the coffee, he said, "But I miss our The home was arranged by myself."

With just this one sentence, Shang Xuechen was completely defeated. He lost the account book, put his legs on Ji Shuping's lap, and collapsed on the sofa.Shang Xuechen resigned himself to his fate and shouted, "It's up to you, it's up to you."

As a result, Ji Shuping packed his luggage the next day and brought people to live in a hotel apartment.On the way there, Shang Xuechen yelled in the car, "What? We're going to live in a hotel for a year? How much will it cost? It's almost in time for the renovation fee!"

Ji Shuping turned a deaf ear to it, and when he shifted the gear, he didn't put it in smoothly, so he said casually, "I don't drive this car smoothly."

Shang Xuechen shut his mouth immediately, afraid that if he said one more word, Ji Shuping would start to dislike his black Volkswagen, and turned around and swiped his card to buy a car worth 200 million yuan.This is much more expensive than decoration and living in a hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, after the waiters helped them tidy up their luggage, Shang Xuechen folded his arms and looked around the suite that Ji Shuping had booked. He sighed and accepted the reality. He spread his arms and ran straight into the room. He took off his shoes and flung himself on the bed.

After Ji Shuping paid the tip to the waiter, he didn't see anyone when he turned around. After walking two steps into the room, he saw Shang Xuechen rolling the quilt on the bed.Ji Shuping leaned against the wall with his arms folded, watching people rolling on the bed with great interest.

Sensing the gaze, Shang Xuechen sat up from the bed wrapped in a quilt, crossed his legs, and greeted Ji Shuping with his hair standing on end.Looking at him like this, Ji Shuping smiled, and asked Shang Xuechen, "It's changed fast enough. He even sighed on the way here."

"The only advantage of me is that I am happy with the situation. You paid all the money, and I came, of course, because I am happy."

Ji Shuping withdrew his arms and walked towards the bed. Shang Xuechen looked at the person who had walked to the end of the bed with the corner of his mouth raised, and when Ji Shuping leaned over, he raised his foot and put his foot on his chest, "Oh, I just saw that you tipped someone. .”

"What?" Ji Shuping raised his eyebrows, "You want it too?" As soon as he said that, he wrapped his hand around Shang Xuechen's trouser leg and stretched it in.

Shang Xuechen kicked Ji Shuping away hard and jumped off the bed, put on his shoes and looked back, Ji Shuping was lying on the bed instead, looking at him with his head propped up, "Really not coming?"

"Why do you come, there is nothing, how do you want to come?"

"It's not good to do it wet, then we can do it dry."

"Ji Shuping!"

After Ji Shuping was yelled at, he got up lazily and pulled Shang Xuechen down, lay on the bed with him in his arms, and explained by blowing in his ears, "I'm joking with you. The tip I just gave to the waiter , just ask him to help him make a trip to buy some things we usually use.”

Shang Xuechen frowned, turned his head and glanced at Ji Shuping who was holding him behind his back, put his arm straight on Ji Shuping's chest, "You are really not ashamed, how can someone help you buy that thing?!"

Ji Shuping held his chest and pretended to cough twice.Shang Xuechen looked at him indifferently, "It's over, it's already past the time for you to come out of the hospital, you've been very active recently."

This trick didn't work, so Ji Shuping could only touch the top of Shang Xuechen's head with his hand, pressing down on his hair that had just turned up from rolling, "Time flies so fast. It's going to be winter in a blink of an eye."

Shang Xuechen turned his head and looked out the window, "Yeah, it's really fast. Unexpectedly, we have been together for almost a year."

"It's almost the season when I met you again. I don't like winter." Ji Shuping wrapped her in his arms and tightened his arms.

Shang Xuechen looked out the window, took his arm and asked, "Why?"

"Because I met you in winter and lost you. That year, you disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Shang Xuechen rolled his eyes, "Can you blame me then? It's not your fault, you broke your promise, and you are the one who disappeared. I have been waiting there all winter. However, even if you don't show up, I will I still don't hate winter."

This time it was Ji Shuping's turn to ask Shang Xuechen "why".

"Because..." Shang Xuechen looked at the gray sky outside the window. The winter now is different from when I was a child. Now it is always foggy when it comes to winter. Shang Xuechen smiled, "Because I don't regret it. I don't regret it Met you. I believe you will like winter from now on."

Ji Shuping stood up and looked at him, "Are you so confident?"

Shang Xuechen turned over and changed from lying on his side to lying on his back. He looked at Ji Shuping who stood up and looked down at him, smiled and put his arms around his neck, "Well, I have. I am also confident that you didn't like it before. I will like the dumplings I eat in the future. I didn’t like hot pot before, and I will like it now. As long as I like hot pot, I will definitely like winter. After all, every winter after this, I will be with you around."

Ji Shuping leaned over with a smile, lowered his head and rubbed the tip of Shang Xuechen's nose with his own, "I was really defeated by you."

Shang Xuechen put his arms around his neck, squinting his eyes and feeling a little itchy from being rubbed by Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping rubbed the tip of his nose against his nose, and gradually rubbed down on the corners of his lips, then Ji Shuping raised his body, they looked at each other tacitly and were about to close their eyes at the same time, but the phone rang inappropriately.

Shang Xuechen opened his eyes first, and Ji Shuping quickly covered his eyes, "Don't pay attention to him, let's continue."

But the phone rang persistently, and Shang Xuechen was so disturbed that he couldn't concentrate, he pushed Ji Shuping away and got up from the bed, "I'd better answer the phone first."

Before Ji Shuping had time to say anything, Shang Xuechen quickly picked up the phone, "Hello, Brother Zhou. Well, the house has already started to be bought. I don't know about the visa. Anyway, I was rejected again. That's fine. Don't worry about it anymore. Ji Shuping?" Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at Ji Shuping who was lying behind him, smiled and said to the person on the phone, "Okay, I got it. Let me help you. By the way , how did the friend you found help me find out? There is no news, okay, then help me find it again. "

As soon as Shang Xuechen hung up the phone, Ji Shuping reached out and pressed his shoulder, "Still not whereabouts?"

"Yeah." Shang Xuechen sighed, raised his head and said, "I know the surname Bai is too hard to find."

Ji Shuping patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly remembered that Shang Xuechen had mentioned the visa issue in the conversation with Brother Zhou just now, "I think it's better to take care of our own affairs first, and when we come back from the United States, I think Find a way to help you. For your visa, you should ask an intermediary to handle it. If you go by yourself, you will definitely be rejected."

"Forget it, it costs money again, I'll do it myself."

Ji Shuping felt a little strange, why Shang Xuechen was rejected every time he went to apply for a visa?

"Have you made it clear to the interviewer that you are just traveling?"

Shang Xuechen obviously didn't want to bring up this topic again, he bent down and tied his shoelaces and told Ji Shuping casually, "Brother Zhou and Jiajia are choosing a store, and they can't make up their minds at the moment, I want to ask you to help me find out which location to choose Better."

Ji Shuping wanted to ask Shang Xuechen more, but Shang Xuechen had already got up and left, as if he was about to go out, Ji Shuping hurriedly called to him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"You forgot." Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at Ji Shuping, "Today is my day to see a doctor."

Shang Xuechen now goes to see Yang Lian twice a week. In addition to seeing Yang Lian's grandfather, he also goes to see a doctor. He wants to get well soon and live a normal life with Ji Shuping, so he is already undergoing active treatment. .

"I'll go with you." Ji Shuping said as he was about to get up from the bed.Shang Xuechen came over and held him down, "You stay here for me. Last night, instead of communicating with the designer about the plan, we talked back and forth until the early hours of the morning. Finally, the plan has been finalized, and the house will start construction today, so you can Get a good night's sleep first. I'll go alone."

"But……"

"What's the matter." Shang Xue pulled up the quilt and covered Ji Shuping, "I'm such an adult, you will only affect me if you accompany me. Don't worry, I'll be back soon after meeting Yang Lian. It happened that we went to the restaurant on the top floor to have dinner tonight."

Ji Shuping lay on the bed and watched Shang Xuechen leave the room, and when he heard the combination lock of the door outside locked with a "ding dong", Ji Shuping got up from the bed, went to the living room, looked at the door for a while, and sighed I called Yang Lian, "Is he on your schedule today?"

Yang Lian on the other end of the phone flipped through the calendar on his desk, and looked at the appointment reminder on the computer before answering Ji Shuping, "No. He didn't make an appointment with me today."

"Okay, I see." Ji Shuping hung up the phone and sighed again.

Zhou Yuan was wearing a hospital gown and was sitting on the corner of the bed next to the wall with her legs crossed, watching the scene outside the bars.The old ward door made a sound, Zhou Yuan closed her eyes and listened carefully, the old lock was finally opened from the outside.Nobody comes to see her, except...

Zhou Yuan opened her eyes, just as she thought, she opened her eyes and saw Shang Xuechen coming into the room.Zhou Yuan smiled politely at Shang Xuechen, kind of saying hello to him.

Shang Xuechen glanced at Zhou Yuan, who had a pale face and black eyes, and smiled back at her without courtesy, and sat down on the chair like a regular customer.

"You're here again." Zhou Yuan glanced at Shang Xuechen who had already sat down, turned her head and continued to lean her head against the wall to look out the window, "What on earth are you thinking, come again and again?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and remained silent.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said to herself, "I think it's because everything went so smoothly. You and Ji Shuping got together successfully because of everything. After Ji Shuping got rid of Ji's family, he was finally able to be with you safely. So Now you have a lot of leisure time. But ah, people can’t be idle all the time, and people can’t be too happy. Because in the dead of night, when you suddenly wake up from a dream, you turn your head and see the people sleeping beside you, and you will think of those people who are no longer there. The happier you are, the more guilty you are. The more guilty you are, the more uneasy you are. The more uneasy you are, the easier it is to doubt yourself. Doubting why you are happy and why Qi Liang can’t. That’s why you always come to see me to see that I’m still alive , use my existence to balance your overfull happiness, so that the balance in your heart will not swing left and right, so that you will feel less guilty about Qi Liang." Zhou Yuan turned her head and looked at Shang Xuechen who was sitting on the opposite side of the bed, She smiled and asked him, "Do you think I'm right?"

Shang Xuechen raised his head and looked at her, "You say that because you used to be like this. Even if you didn't use Wen Ting's money, your life was smooth. Because of the smoothness, you will always Thinking of Wen Ting, I regretted why I betrayed her because of a sum of money. I kept blaming myself and regretting, and then gradually couldn't bear it anymore, so I transferred this guilt to others and began to rely on drugs."

Zhou Yuan didn't deny it hysterically like before, she just smiled palely, crossed her legs and looked at the tree with no leaves outside the window, and said, "Winter is coming. Everyone hates winter because of the cold. But No one has ever thought that winter is an inevitable hurdle for nature to restart all things. It is a must pass before spring comes. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand it, and she couldn't stand it, so we separated like this. I still remember when I was a child, our family had a snowball fight one winter. She was carried on the shoulders of her father, and she threw snowballs at me braggingly, but I would call out to my mother. As long as my mother came out, even if my father was strong, I would lose .”

Shang Xuechen turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the bleak scene outside the window, "You are here to rehabilitate drugs, and you seem to have improved a lot recently. Have you not seen her again?"

"What about you? Didn't you see Qi Liang again?" Zhou Yuan asked him with a smile, "I don't think you did, because you didn't see him again, so you were afraid that you would gradually forget him. But you dare not tell Ji Shuping about this, and You can only come to my place and take a look at my miserable appearance to relieve your anger."

"Zhou Yuan, I never hated you."

"why?"

"It's like I never hated her."

"Her?" Zhou Yuan glanced at Shang Xuechen, "You mean Mrs. Shao, who is upright now? Why don't you hate her? Why don't you hate her for abandoning you? Just watch their mother and son ascend to the upper class so smoothly. Throne, are you willing? Obviously you have the bargaining chip to make them lose. As long as you unite with Ji Shuping..."

"I don't think Wen Ting hates you either."

Zhou Yuan was stunned, hugged her legs tightly and shrank back, "Even if you don't accept my proposal, you don't need to use such words to divert it."

"Yes, you're right." Shang Xuechen looked up at Zhou Yuan and generously admitted what she just said, "I want to live with you, Shen Ao, not because of how kind I am, you know I'm sick , if you are all dead, Ji Shuping will become my emotional burden. So Zhou Yuan, I let you live as the carrier of my negative emotions. Other than that..."

"Besides that?" Zhou Yuan looked at Shang Xuechen, and really couldn't figure out that there were other reasons why he came to see her.

Shang Xuechen took a deep breath, "Other than that, I think I can understand Wen Ting's feelings. I saw Wen Ting in the hospital that day. You are to her what Mrs. Shao is to me. Me and She was the one who was betrayed and abandoned by her relatives. When you planned me to enter the detention center, there was a moment when I thought about giving up on myself. It’s just that I am luckier than her, and I have Ji Shuping to support me. But Zhou Yuan, she really doesn’t hate you."

"Why do you say that? She obviously hates me, hates me to the core, otherwise why does she always appear in my dreams and question me?"

"That's your imagination." Shang Xuechen looked at Zhou Yuan and told her seriously, "I understand how she feels. If it was hatred, she would not choose to commit suicide. She just feels that there is no hope. I will give up on myself, but if I have hatred, it will go for a long time. If I hate Mrs. Shao, when I was in the detention center, I should plan how to use my invisible identity to destroy her and her precious son. If Wen Ting hates You, she can also report to my uncle that you stole the documents and money, and you will never have a good life. But Zhou Yuan, Wen Ting did not, and did not take the opportunity to bite you back. She just felt the betrayal of her relatives and gave up. Myself. In fact, from this aspect, like her, I am a little too cowardly."

Zhou Yuan lowered her eyes, and when she looked up again, she still leaned her head against the wall to see the scene outside the window, "You go. I don't want to see you again."

Shang Xuechen got up and walked out the door. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment with the hand he stretched out to pull the door, "Did you really regret it until this moment?"

"Why do you know?"

"Because..." Shang Xuechen twisted the doorknob and opened the door, "Because I've been here so many times, this is the first time you say you don't want to see me again. You're scared."

The door was closed, Zhou Yuan leaned against the wall with her legs hugged, tears came down silently, "Yes, I regret it so much."

"Yuanyuan."

A little girl outside the window was waving to Zhou Yuan who was inside the window.Zhou Yuan twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled tiredly. Tears just flowed into her mouth along the corners of her mouth that was upturned because of laughing. It was very bitter like the cold medicine that Wen Ting made for herself when she was a child. Zhou Yuan looked out the window and called her , "Tingting."

The girl outside the window was still smiling and waving at her, "Yuanyuan, I'm leaving." After speaking, she turned around and left her back.

Zhou Yuan stretched out her hand anxiously, trying to catch the back that was getting further and further away, but no matter how much she reached out, it was futile, "Tingting, don't go! It's my fault, it's my fault! Don't go."

People were crying in the window, and there was only a gust of wind outside the window, blowing up the dead leaves that had fallen all over the ground in the dilapidated mental hospital.Shang Xuechen, who walked to the gate, looked back, and said to the desolate scene, "Goodbye." With the sound, the guard came over and closed the iron gate.Standing outside the big iron gate, Shang Xuechen took another look, and when he turned his head, he saw Ji Shuping in a long black trench coat standing across the road looking at him.

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and scratched the hair on the back of his head. Before he could figure out how to explain himself, Ji Shuping on the opposite side withdrew his hand from his windbreaker pocket, "Let's go, let's go home."

Shang Xuechen smiled, raised his feet and walked towards Ji Shuping, the wind picked up again, and the hem of Ji Shuping's clothes was blown by the wind more violently than the leaves swaying.Shang Xuechen's hair was also blown out of shape by the wind, but he just ran over in a hurry, grabbed Ji Shuping, looked him in the eyes and said, "Okay, let's go home."
