Do not lie to me

After the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, and Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping lived in the hotel for a while.During the period, Ji Shuping mentioned several times that he wanted to buy a car but was eventually rejected by Shang Xuechen. As long as Ji Shuping mentioned it, Shang Xuechen would send the hotel bill and renovation expenses to Ji Shuping, and finally had to add a sentence, " This money is not enough for you to buy a car! You can’t go out to work for the time being, and I’m recuperating, so you still need to spend money to buy a car? Are we going to sit and eat?”

Ji Shuping looked at the bill that Shang Xuechen threw over, and said casually, "Then I'll sell the villa."

"Villa? Where is the villa?"

Ji Shuping flipped through the bills, and thought it was all right, "It's just my previous building. Didn't you also live in it?"

"You didn't say it earlier!" Shang Xuechen slapped his thigh and jumped up, "I even forgot that you still have that building. If that building is sold, we can buy two small apartments in the city center, and the rent will be enough in the future Have a good time."

Ji Shuping added, "Not only can you buy two small apartments."

Shang Xuechen turned his head and gave him a white look, "Why are you staying in a hotel when you have a house? Waste of money!"

Ji Shuping put down the bill, looked at him calmly, took a sip of coffee, the coffee had no milk or sugar, the bitter Ji Shuping frowned.I don't know if life is too comfortable now, Ji Shuping gradually felt that he couldn't drink the bitter coffee anymore, he put down the coffee and looked at Shang Xuechen, "I have a lot of property under my name, but all of them are watched by the Ji family. , besides, if we deal with it now, what should I do if I hear some trouble outside and find me?"

"That's true." Shang Xuechen sighed, and sat next to Ji Shuping again, took a look at the coffee that made Ji Shuping frown just now, added two cubes of sugar into it, felt that the two cubes were not enough, and added a lot more.

Ji Shuping was watching him add sugar to his coffee, thinking that it was so, since he was the only one who added sugar by his side every day, he was used to drinking sweet coffee, but now he is not used to drinking bitter coffee at first.

"Well, when will our house be installed? It's almost half a year since the construction started last autumn." Shang Xuechen asked this seemingly unintentionally after adding the sugar.

Ji Shuping picked up his coffee again and began to drink, "I didn't tell you before, the fresh air system was installed years ago. It saves the trouble of dust and cleaning. Why do you keep asking about the renovation recently? I have already urged you I have been to the decoration company many times, and the process has been accelerated there.”

"It's nothing. Just ask." Shang Xuechen propped his chin and pretended to be casual, but he pretended to be a little unnatural, turning his head to look at Ji Shuping from time to time.Ji Shuping had already been stared at by him three times after taking a sip of coffee. He felt that Shang Xuechen was hiding something again, so he simply put down the coffee, put his arms around his shoulders and dumped it on the sofa together, "Tell me, what's the matter? "

Shang Xuechen giggled twice in his arms, then looked back at Ji Shuping with some complacency, "I've got my visa."

"It's been done?!" Ji Shuping was surprised and raised his body to look at Shang Xuechen. Shang Xuechen naturally put his arms around his neck and looked at him. The visa approval means that they can go to the United States to sign and register.Ji Shuping took Shang Xuechen's hand around the back of his neck, and twisted the ring on his ring finger, "It's finally done. No wonder you've been urging house renovations recently."

"What else? We won't be able to sign and come back and we will stay in the hotel. We should go home."

"That's right." Ji Shuping lowered his head and kissed his forehead, "The newlyweds have to live in a new home."

Shang Xuechen smiled, and patted him on the back, "Then why don't you hurry up and make a phone call to remind me, and you don't need any unnecessary decorations."

Ji Shuping immediately got up and called to urge the progress of the renovation.Shang Xuechen was still lazily lying on the sofa, turned over and leaned on his arms to look at Ji Shuping who was on the phone urgently.

"Yes, yes, please speed up your progress. I saw that the decoration is almost complete. I think I will move the furniture in next month. That's right, I will pay more, and you will rush to work day and night."

It was the first time for Shang Xuechen to see Ji Shuping who was speaking in such a hurry. He smiled and waited for Ji Shuping to hang up the phone before getting up from the sofa, "Before we go abroad, we have to visit our father and uncle."

Ji Shuping flipped through his phone and started looking at the air tickets, "I need to talk to them. In which city do you want to sign the marriage contract? Any state in the United States can do it, but the procedures are different in different places."

"Choose the most convenient and quickest one. I was afraid when I saw a lot of documents. Being a foreigner, I always lose my confidence."

"The most convenient place is Las Vegas. We are flying to Los Angeles, stop there for two days, I will show you around, then drive to Las Vegas, rest there for two days, watch the show and go around the casino , Pick a day and I will drive you to the Grand Canyon. Signing in Las Vegas is very fast. If you are willing to sign, you can drive by yourself. If you feel too tired, you can fly directly to San Francisco. Let me see how the hotel can compare which suites Okay, is it a family room in an apartment or a room with a view? It’s also good to drive and live in a B&B in the back.”

Shang Xuechen listened to Ji Shuping's continuous talk, raised his chin and looked at him, "Can you not arrange such a full schedule? Go everywhere, just sign in Las Vegas and play for two days. Listen. It is said that there are all kinds of food, drink and entertainment there, so why do you have to keep going down?"

Ji Shuping put away his phone and looked at him seriously, "Our honeymoon will be counted from now on."

Shang Xuechen continued to fall on the sofa again, "I don't know what kind of honeymoon it is, so much trouble. It's not like I won't go again in the future, and it's still early, your house hasn't been organized yet, and you haven't even signed it yet." , are you thinking about the honeymoon now?"

Ji Shuping continued to pinch the phone, and said casually, "Everything istoday, nothing istomorrow."

Lying on the sofa, Shang Xuechen twitched the corners of his mouth, sat up again and ignored Ji Shuping, took his mobile phone into the room and planned to call Brother Zhou.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, do you still have the travel English book you bought before your honeymoon in Guam? Let me give you a temporary hug."

"Holding Buddha's feet temporarily? Have you booked a date?"

"Not yet. But Ji Shuping looks like he's going to leave at any time. I don't know what to do. Give me the book to practice speaking!"

Ji Shuping smiled quietly when he heard Shang Xuechen's voice on the phone, then lowered his head and began to look at the ticket again, "The house still has to urge them to hurry up."

When he was lying on the bed at night, Ji Shuping kept on talking, Shang Xuechen's eyes were staring with sleepiness, Ji Shuping just didn't let him go.Seeing him impatiently turning his back on him, Ji Shuping simply stretched out his hand and turned him back to face him, and continued, "Do you think we will have a table wine before going abroad to obtain a certificate? Or will we have a table wine after we come back?"

Shang Xuechen was so sleepy that he didn't have the energy to argue with him, so he raised his eyelids and threw "whatever" to him.

"How can this be casual." Ji Shuping was already a little bit persistent, "Even if the banquet is casual, you have to prepare the accompanying gifts first, and it will be too late to prepare and send them off when you return home."

"We only know so few people in total, how many can we prepare?"

"No, I want to prepare more." Ji Shuping said as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that Shang Xuechen had closed his eyes and fell asleep. Seeing that he had fallen asleep, Ji Shuping calmed down. Kissing the bridge of his nose, "I really want to get along with you sooner."

Shang Xuechen knew about Ji Shuping's execution ability, but what he didn't expect was that Ji Shuping's action ability was so fast. It was only two months after he and Ji Shuping finished talking about his visa that day, and now he was carrying his luggage When Xiang Zaihui bought the house back from Brother Zhou, the house had changed a lot.

The porch cabinet has been changed into a double-door shoe cabinet, and the entire side of the built-in shoe cabinet is full of shoes. Ji Shuping has already taken out his slippers and placed them in front of Shang Xuechen, "The house is so big, it can be opened alone. It’s not reasonable to have a cloakroom. Just put the shoe cabinet at the door. On three sides, spring, summer, autumn and winter shoes are stored here, and it’s convenient for you to take them.”

Shang Xuechen finished changing his shoes and entered the house. The glass sliding door that originally separated the living room and dining room was gone, and a wine cabinet was placed behind the sofa in the living room, just separating the dining room and living room.Ji Shuping pushed the suitcase in and saw Shang Xuechen who was stunned in the middle of the living room and explained casually, "This way the space looks bigger, and I separated the kitchen so that there will be less oily fumes."

"It's really you." Shang Xuechen stood and looked around for a week, "It seems that the space is bigger than before."

After Ji Shuping packed his luggage, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to enter the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Shang Xuechen looked at the door in surprise, "Who's coming now? I didn't ask Brother Zhou and the others to come over either."

"It's for delivery." Ji Shuping, who was going to the kitchen, diverted to the door, "I ordered some things, and they just happened to deliver them today."

"Why don't I know? What did you order?"

Shang Xuechen was watching curiously when the express staff brought boxes of things in.When the people left, Shang Xuechen didn't wait for Ji Shuping to open it, and directly opened the package by himself, and took out the contents one by one, "Cotton candy, butter, nuts, chocolate?" He looked back at the person who was walking by Ji Shuping, "What's all this?"

"The other two boxes are gift packaging bags and perfume. I thought about it, we don't know many people, and the amount of gift boxes ordered is too small. I bought chocolates, and I am making some snowflake cakes and Daifuku as gifts. Then everyone will be given a perfume. That's it." After finishing speaking, Ji Shuping picked up the box and walked to the kitchen, looking like he was going to start making it today.

Shang Xuechen sat on the sofa and clapped his hands, "You really can't sit still."

Ji Shuping stopped and looked back at him, "I booked a plane ticket to Los Angeles in two days' time, so I have to pack these up tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we'll pack up and get on the plane."

"So fast?!" Shang Xuechen got up from the sofa and followed him to the kitchen, "Does that mean I have to pack with you today?"

Ji Shuping had already put on his apron and started to heat up the pot. Shang Xuechen curled his lips, sat on the cooking table, opened a bag of marshmallows and started eating, "However, will our sugar be less? Chocolate, snowflakes Su, what other blessings are there, just these three things? I remember last time Brother Zhou had five kinds of candies in it, and he also had milk candies and red dates." At this point, Shang Xuechen suddenly fell silent, and others put Red dates are a matter of course, and they can't have children putting red dates in like a joke.

Hearing that he suddenly stopped talking, Ji Shuping looked back at him, "If you want to let us go, we will let you go."

"Forget it." Shang Xuechen raised his head and threw a marshmallow into his mouth, "Three kinds of candies, so I won't be tired of packing."

"Why do you love marshmallows so much?" Ji Shuping reached out and opened the package of marshmallows he unpacked, "I'll make snowflake cakes later."

"If you want to eat, you can't eat it." Shang Xuechen reached out to grab it, but Ji Shuping hid quickly and he didn't snatch it.Looking at Shang Xuechen's resentful expression, Ji Shuping took out a fork and put marshmallow on it, roasted it on the fire before handing it to him, "Eat it."

Shang Xuechen took the marshmallow and smiled, "I thought you forgot why I love to eat it."

"How can I forget. By the way, if you think the sugar is too little, we can put more bubble gum."

"Bubble gum?" Shang Xuechen frowned, "Who would put bubble gum in wedding candy?"

"Yes, we will let it go." Ji Shuping turned to look at him, "Besides, we are rare."

"That's right." Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows and handed the fork to Ji Shuping, "Give me another one."

"Eat any more and you'll be gone."

"Anyway, you don't have to do a lot. If we can't send it out, it's because we eat at home."

Ji Shuping didn't say anything, he still roasted marshmallows for him to eat, this time he took a biscuit and handed the marshmallows to him. Too much."

"Understood." Shang Xuechen replied, and Ji Shuping kept wandering around the kitchen counter all afternoon, Shang Xuechen sat on the counter with dangling legs, ate marshmallows and watched him wander around.

Ji Shuping's movements were quick, and at night, Shang Xuechen was already sitting on the floor of the living room, wearing gloves and holding parcels of glutinous rice paper.When Ji Shuping came over with a baking tray, Shang Xuechen twitched his lips in dissatisfaction, "I told you not to do so much. You have too much."

"There's a lot of chocolate, and I made another chocolate-flavored one."

Shang Xuechen got up and took a piece to taste first, "Well, tell me about you, you love sweets, and you are quite handy in making desserts, or you can open a dessert shop in the future."

Ji Shuping didn't care, he sat down and wrapped the candy together with Shang Xuechen, Shang Xuechen wrapped the snowflake cake in glutinous rice paper, Ji Shuping just sealed the bag and put it in the candy box.There were open boxes of wedding candy on the sofa, Ji Shuping took a look at these open boxes of wedding candy, "Why don't we continue tomorrow, I seem to have done a little too much."

"No, let's finish it today. I'll have a good rest tomorrow. Sigh, help me push my sleeve up, and it fell off again."

Ji Shuping smiled and stretched out his hand to help him roll up his sleeves again, and while he wasn't paying attention, he pecked him again.Shang Xuechen said displeasedly, "Aren't you bothering me? I'm busy." The corner of his mouth turned up, betraying him.

The two of them wrapped the candy, and one bag lasted overnight, but no one complained of being tired.Ji Shuping didn't say he was tired easily, but it was a bit strange that Shang Xuechen, who was usually very lazy, didn't say tired.When the clock passed two o'clock, Ji Shuping took a careful look at Shang Xuechen, who was yawning with his mouth open, and the piece of candy in his hand was not wrapped, but directly put into his mouth.Ji Shuping knew that he wanted to eat a piece of candy to refresh himself.

"Why don't you go to sleep."

Shang Xuechen shook his head, chewing on the sugar, "You put too many nuts."

"why?"

"What why?" Shang Xuechen handed the wrapped candy to Ji Shuping.

"Why didn't you wake up today?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Shang Xuechen took the Quick Snowflake Cake again, lowered his head and wrapped it in glutinous rice paper seriously, "Because this is our wedding candy. Of course we have to be more serious."

A snowflake pastry wrapped in sugar paper was handed over to Ji Shuping. Ji Shuping took it with a smile and looked back at the unwrapped wedding candy box, and smiled.

When it was almost dawn, everything that should be prepared was finally ready.Shang Xuechen stretched his waist, propped his chin and looked at the coffee table, the TV cabinet, and the wrapped wedding candies on the sofa behind him, "Why do you think we pack so much?"

Ji Shuping reached out and touched his head, "You ask again."

Shang Xuechen sighed, "Can I not ask? When I thought about it, it was our wedding candy. I felt quite energetic when I wrapped it, but after I wrapped it, I only gave it to Brother Zhou, his family and Xiao Yuan." Shang Xuechen yawned and said, "Oh, why pack so much."

Ji Shuping threw the remaining candy into Shang Xuechen's yawning mouth, Shang Xuechen looked at him and chewed.

"I've negotiated with the publisher, and I'll ask them to send some candies when they deliver the books in two days."

"Publisher? Sending books?" Shang Xuechen looked at him puzzled.

"You forgot." Ji Shuping smoothed the hair on the back of his head, and Shang Xuechen was hit one after another by the yawn he touched, "When we were in the seaside town, we agreed with the principal to donate books. Some happy candy in the past."

"That's right." Shang Xuechen's eyes lit up, "Give some more to the children. It's not in vain for me to work so hard all night."

"Okay, you go to sleep."

"What about the luggage? What about our plane tomorrow."

"I'll be fine."

Shang Xuechen took a look at Ji Shuping, leaned over and leaned directly on him, "Why don't you pack up, since you came back from the hotel and didn't unpack your luggage, so let's go with it. You've been busy since yesterday, Why don't you go in with me and get some sleep."

Ji Shuping stroked the hair on the back of his head, and looked down at the staring man lying on his chest, "Why, do you want me to touch your hair to lull you to sleep?"

Shang Xuechen nodded and shook his head.

Ji Shuping couldn't understand his nodding and shook his head, asking him, "What does this mean?"

"I can't bear you. I can't bear you to work so hard."

Ji Shuping, who is rarely lazy, looked at the wrapped wedding candies all over the floor, and suddenly thought of being lazy, "Then just leave these as they are. We will pack them up and send them out when we get back. Get a good sleep today, and catch up tomorrow." airplane."

"En." Shang Xuechen was confused, and Ji Shuping picked him up from the ground and went straight into the room.

The two of them were a little tired after a busy night, so they went to sleep until it was dark.Ji Shuping woke up first, propped himself up and looked at Shang Xuechen who was lying beside him.Shang Xuechen was still sleeping, it was when he was grinding his teeth badly.Ji Shuping propped his head up to look at the man whose teeth were grinding, stretched out his index finger to open his mouth, and stuffed his fingers into his back molars, the sound of teeth grinding stopped, and Shang Xuechen also opened his eyes.He frowned, and stretched out Ji Shuping's fingers, "What are you doing?" He turned over after speaking, instead of turning his back to Ji Shuping as usual, this time he turned over and put his arms around Ji Shuping's waist.

Ji Shuping brushed his upturned hair, bowed his head and kissed his temples, "Every time I wake up, I find you lying next to me, I feel novel."

"After a long time, you won't find it novel." Shang Xuechen looked up at him, pretending to bite Ji Shuping's nose together, Ji Shuping didn't dodge, Shang Xuechen glanced at him and leaned directly on his shoulder .Ji Shuping patted his back and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Shang Xuechen shook his head, "What time is it?"

"It's almost ten o'clock."

"Forget it, let's eat on the plane, it's too late."

"It's a bit too late." Ji Shuping checked the time, but still hugged Shang Xuechen without moving.Shang Xuechen pushed his shoulder, "You didn't book the plane at [-] o'clock. You still have to check in your luggage. Let's go to the waiting room early and wait."

"Okay." Ji Shuping stood up slowly, and Shang Xuechen jumped from the bed to the ground, put on his clothes and twisted his neck, and was about to leave the room.Ji Shuping looked at him with interest, "You were woken up by me today, why didn't you get angry in bed?"

Shang Xuechen stretched his waist, looking refreshed, "Today is an exception. It's a good thing, I can't get angry and get happy."

Ji Shuping came over and hugged him, "Then do you make people feel refreshed on happy occasions?"

Shang Xuechen raised an eyebrow at him with a smile, "Then you aren't?"

"Of course I am too." Ji Shuping smiled and led the people to the door, walked to the living room and took another look at the wedding boxes on the floor.

"Wait when you come back." Shang Xuechen glanced at the pile of wedding boxes on the ground, walked over to push the suitcase, "we'll give these out when you get back." He said and stretched out his ring-wearing hand towards Ji Shuping.

"En." Ji Shuping nodded, took Shang Xuechen's hand with one hand, and pushed his suitcase with the other, not forgetting to tell Shang Xuechen, "When we get to the waiting room, let's see if there is anything we need to add to the journey." Yes."

Shang Xuechen looked at the unopened suitcase he brought back from the hotel, "Fortunately, the luggage was unopened, because I knew earlier that I had some dirty clothes in it, so I sent the hotel customer service to wash it."

"When you arrive at a hotel in the United States, you can also ask their hotel customer service to deliver your laundry for you."

"Forget it. Then there will be more tipping."

After leaving the house, Ji Shuping called to get into the car, and the two of them put the suitcase into the trunk of the taxi and got on the car. As soon as Shang Xuechen got in the car, he leaned against Ji Shuping. It was midnight, and they didn't worry about the driver ahead. The driver would see that Ji Shuping hugged Shang Xuechen again, and stretched out his other hand to wrap around Shang Xuechen's, "If you're still sleepy, squint for a while longer, and I'll call you when I get there."

"it is good."

Heaven failed to fulfill one's wishes, Shang Xuechen had just finished speaking.The phone rang at this moment, Shang Xuechen picked it up, looked at it, and answered the phone without thinking, "Hey, brother Zhou, I don't have time to get your travel English book. We are leaving now. What? !" Shang Xuechen screamed and got up from Ji Shuping's arms, "Are you serious? Okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Xuechen hung his head. Ji Shuping was about to put his hand on his shoulder and ask him what happened, but Shang Xuechen asked the driver to stop the car on the side of the road.

Ji Shuping frowned and looked out the window. The car had already parked on the side of the road. He turned his head and looked at Shang Xuechen again, "What happened? Let's talk about it when we come back?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and squeezed the phone tightly, took a deep breath, then turned to Ji Shuping and said, "Let's put this matter in the back row first. I found the person, and I have to bring him back first."

"Who?" Just as Ji Shuping asked, he understood that Xu Xueshi's half-brother had found him.Ji Shuping's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "Let him stay at Brother Zhou's house first, and pick him up when we come back."

"No." Shang Xuechen shook his head, "I promised my brother. I have to take good care of him."

"But we are going abroad to get married now!"

"Shu Ping, take him back and settle down first. That child is having a hard time, let's let him settle down first and get familiar with the rhythm of life with us. When life is in order, shall we go abroad again?"

"I've already booked air tickets, hotels and rental cars!" Ji Shuping seemed unwilling to give in.Shang Xuechen bit his lip and tried to persuade, "Please, I promised my brother."

In the end, Ji Shuping compromised because he didn't want to embarrass Shang Xuechen.Shang Xuechen saw that Ji Shuping let go, and immediately said to the driver master, "Master, please divert, we are not going to the airport."

Ji Shuping glanced at the anxious Shang Xuechen.

As soon as Brother Zhou opened the door, Shang Xuechen rushed in anxiously, "Where's the person?" He glanced at Shang Xuechen and then at Ji Shuping standing outside the door with a gloomy face, swallowed and said, "It's in the living room."

Shang Xuechen was about to rush into the living room but was grabbed by Brother Zhou, "That kid is a bit strange."

"How to say?"

"I can't tell." Brother Zhou glanced carefully at the living room, "When I found him, he lived with an old man who picked up rags. I heard that when his parents had an accident, because of the insurance money, each His relatives rushed to take care of him. Later, the insurance company made a move to take care of him, and no one was willing to come out to help him with the lawsuit, and some were unwilling to accept him. At first, several relatives took turns to take care of him. He must have suffered a lot of cynicism, but he later lived in some kind of uncle's house, and he said that when he came back from school, all the door locks of his uncle's house were changed, and he was not allowed to enter."

"How could those people be like this!" Shang Xuechen had already clenched his fists when he heard this, and Brother Zhou persuaded him, "It's not like this in this world. That child is a bit strange, maybe it's because he was a little too sensitive after receiving such treatment, I think you Think about it again, don't rush to take him back, after all, you and Ji Shuping's situation is also special. It's better to find a normal and warm family to take him in."

"How can this work? After all, I promised..." Shang Xuechen was pushed by Brother Zhou, and stopped talking.Brother Zhou smiled and said to the child standing behind the cabinet with half of his face exposed, "Lele, why did you come out?"

"Lele?" Shang Xuechen looked back at the child, walked up to him carefully, bent down, stared into his eyes and asked, "You are Lele?"

Lele raised her eyelids and looked at Shang Xuechen who was facing her. She didn't look away or be vigilant, she just looked at him like that.Shang Xuechen smiled at him, "I've been looking for you for a long time. What's your real name?"

Lele lowered her head and didn't look at Shang Xuechen again, "You don't need to know."

"You child." Shang Xuechen wanted to say more, but was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping motioned him to come to the side.Shang Xuechen glanced at the child in front of him, got up and followed Ji Shuping to the side.They walked to the side, Ji Shuping glanced at the child who had been taken away by Brother Zhou, turned to look at Shang Xuechen and asked, "Have you made up your mind? I think what Brother Zhou said is also good, the child must be mentally a little bit better." Trauma. We can’t give him a normal family, maybe help him find a normal couple to act as his parents, take care of him and love him, so that he can gradually forget the past injuries.”

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and said stubbornly, "But he is my brother's younger brother."

"He is 12 years old this year." Ji Shuping told him seriously, "Think about when you were 12 years old, what did you want most at that time?"

It's normal, it's a normal and ordinary day.

Shang Xuechen turned his head and glanced at the living room again, he was a little hesitant.Ji Shuping sighed, "Well, let's take him back first. It depends on the situation. If he is paranoid, we should find a gentle and kind couple to educate him and lead him in a good direction."

"Okay." Shang Xuechen nodded.

They came back with their luggage. Shang Xuechen opened the door and Ji Shuping brought in two suitcases. Shang Xuechen turned to the child standing behind him and said, "Come in, Lele."

Lele looked up at him and entered the room without saying a word.When he walked to the living room, he stopped and looked at the candy boxes all over the floor.

"This is?"

Ji Shuping, who was pushing the suitcase, looked back at him, and replied, "Oh, this is Xi..."

"This is what we want to donate to the children." Shang Xuechen hurried in and interrupted Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping looked at him silently, and Shang Xuechen lowered his head a little guilty under his stare.Lele, who was standing in the middle, looked at the two of them and only asked, "Where do I stay tonight?"

"You're staying tonight..." Shang Xuechen glanced at Ji Shuping, the house was newly renovated, and they lived there for less than a day, he didn't know much about it yet, so he could only look at Ji Shuping for help.Ji Shuping glanced at him, turned his face away and pointed casually, "You can live in that room, and I will send you the bedding later."

"Then where will I live tomorrow?"

Ji Shuping replied impatiently, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shang Xuechen was afraid that this sentence would hurt Lele, so he stepped forward and explained with a smile, "He was joking with you, of course you will..."

"Are you going to adopt me?"

Ji Shuping stopped and looked back at Lele, "What did you say?" Shang Xuechen was also a little surprised that the child was so straightforward.

Lele stood there and looked at the candy boxes all over the floor, "Are you gay? Have you decided to have a child to strengthen the relationship?"

"It's not like this, Lele." Shang Xuechen was anxious to explain, but Lele walked towards the room Ji Shuping pointed out to him, and said, "It's fine if it's not like this."

Shang Xuechen froze in place, Ji Shuping looked at the closed room and said, "This kid is a bit tricky." Shang Xuechen sighed.After he finished sighing, Ji Shuping turned to look at him and questioned, "What did you mean by that just now?"

"What happened to me?"

"You denied our wedding candy and our relationship."

"No, I'm afraid that the child will misunderstand! You are right, what he may need is a normal family. He is only 12 years old, which happens to be an age that is prone to confusion. I don't want to mislead him."

"Misleading him?" Ji Shuping frowned, "So you think this 'homosexual' relationship between us is shameful?"

"No, Shuping, don't misinterpret what I mean." Shang Xuechen wanted to say more, and Ji Shuping had already thrown his hands angrily into the room.Shang Xuechen hurried into the room to speak clearly with him.

As soon as the door was closed, the room next door opened. Lele walked out of the room, lifted the backpack on her shoulder, walked through the living room, opened the door and went out.

Ji Shuping sat angrily by the bed when he entered the room, Shang Xuechen chased him in and sat down beside him, "Shuping, that's not what I meant."

Ji Shuping turned his back and ignored him, Shang Xuechen could only squat down in front of him, hold Ji Shuping's hand, and let it go, which proves that people can talk.Shang Xuechen took his hand, lowered his head and sighed, "You know, I met my uncle when I was 12 years old. My dad fell in love with my uncle at that time. I didn't understand at that time, but I vaguely What did John feel. 12 years old is a very confused age. I don't want him to see what we have and become the same as me at that time. I promised my brother to take good care of him and give him the best life. But if what he needs is not only material, but also spiritual comfort, I will slowly find him a suitable family. I don’t want him to go into a new family in a mess, that would be It's hard for him to fit in."

Ji Shu repented and held his hand, "I understand what you said. I'm just annoyed, obviously today we are going to fly to America by plane."

"I'm sorry." Shang Xuechen got up and hugged Ji Shuping, "I've turned my back on my word and let your expectations fail. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for asking you to pamper me so much."

Ji Shuping hugged him, and patted him on the back twice, "Let's take it as a long-awaited event. It's almost dawn, and I don't think the kid will be able to sleep well, so I'd better prepare breakfast first. After eating, have a good time with that kid." Let’s have a chat, then we will think about how to place him.”

"Well, good." Shang Xuechen let go of him, "Then you go to the kitchen, I'll go and see him."

Ji Shuping nodded, and Shang Xuechen turned around and left the room in peace.Ji Shuping sat for a while longer to calm himself down before getting up, but as soon as he left the room, Shang Xuechen grabbed his sleeve anxiously and shouted, "It's gone! Lele is gone!"

"What?!" Ji Shuping patted Shang Xuechen's head, and led him to the room for another look, but he was gone, "Don't worry. I'll call Brother Zhou. Let's go out and look for him. It shouldn't go very far."

Ji Shuping drove around in the car with Shang Xuechen and looked for him on the street. After driving around all day and night, he didn't see anyone. Shang Xuechen said with some self-blame, "I finally found someone. I clearly promised my brother Take good care of him."

"Since we can find it this time, we will still find him even if he leaves. It's just a matter of time. Don't worry too much."

"Did I make a mistake?" Shang Xuechen thought with self-blame, "Is it my way of treating him wrong?"

Ji Shuping propped his chin and thought along with him, "He's used to wandering around, and it's hard for him to trust people on his own initiative. Could it be that he has already realized that we won't take him in to live together, so he thinks there's no need to stay longer?"

Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at Ji Shuping, "Instead of being abandoned again, why not abandon us first? Does he think so?"

Ji Shuping nodded, "I think it's very likely."

"This child is really stubborn and decisive." Shang Xuechen sighed and fell back into the seat, "I really can't do anything with the child, obviously I have already become so careful."

"After you get him back, I think it's better for you to tell him the truth and tell him that you are entrusted to take care of him. That way he may be a little more peaceful."

Shang Xuechen looked at the dark sky outside, "No, I can't say it, it's just that he will think I'm perfunctory for him. But if I say clearly that our elder brother asked me to come to him and take care of him, I will How do you say that his parents died because of my brother, and how did my brother go to prison? I can’t say it.”

"If you don't confess to him, he will still run away from home again and again."

"runaway?"

"He has no sense of security. Even if a new family is found for him, he will do the same."

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What do you think we'll keep him?"

Ji Shuping clenched the steering wheel and did not answer.

Shang Xuechen lowered his head, probably understanding Ji Shuping's thoughts.The phone rang again at this time, it was Zhou Ge calling, Shang Xuechen answered the phone hastily.

"Hey, the man has been found. Sleeping under the bridge hole."

"How could he sleep there?!"

When Ji Shuping heard the start of the car, he drove towards Brother Zhou.

When they arrived, Lele was tearing up with Brother Zhou.Shang Xuechen got out of the car and rushed over, hugged Lele, looked at Brother Zhou and asked, "Why are you two fighting?"

"This kid
