Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen woke up from his sleep and sat up from the sofa to doze off.Rubbing his wrists, looking down at the ground, there were some footprints on the carpet.Standing up, his cheap black suit was stained with a lot of dust.Shang Xuechen looked down, and patted casually, thinking that the small lounge was a little too dirty, making someone as careless as himself more particular.

He took out his mobile phone to check that it was not too early, and was about to make a call to Zhou Yuan before leaving by himself.After making a phone call, I found out that Zhou Yuan had fallen on the stairs, her ligament was strained, and she was currently waiting in the hospital.Shang Xuechen felt that Zhou Yuan was too unlucky to fall down the stairs, and told her not to wear 10cm high heels in the future.Zhou Yuan justified it angrily, saying that it wasn't the reason she was wearing high heels, but because she was stepping on a glass bead in the stairwell.Glass beads?Who plays marbles at the corner of the stairs in the children's nest?Shang Xuechen didn't say a word, thinking about it in his own mind.After hearing Zhou Yuan complaining on the phone, he hung up the phone.

Coming out of this small lounge, Shang Xuechen realized that this small lounge is next to the emergency exit.Shang Xuechen always felt strange, he had nothing else but a reliable intuition.So at this moment, relying on his own intuition, he pushed open the door, walked down the stairs, and picked up two marbles.Shang Xuechen held the marble and looked at it for a while, then put the marble into his pocket.

Shang Xuechen came out of the stairwell, ready to wait for the elevator.As soon as I entered, the manager I met this morning came in with a few assistants.Shang Xuechen frowned, isn't this a bit of a coincidence?Shang Xuechen was still the same as when he came here, first he looked down at the feet of several people, the slope of the high-end leather shoe in the middle was covered with some dust, and the surrounding black leather shoes were polished to a shine.

Shang Xuechen raised his eyebrows, took out a marble from his pocket, and flicked it out.The three assistants next to him all looked at him with unsuspecting faces, and the manager stood in the middle without even turning his head.People will turn their heads subconsciously in response to the sounds of the surrounding environment. The one who deliberately doesn’t turn his head is because his attention is already on you, but he doesn’t want you to know, so he suppresses it as much as possible and blocks his subconscious movements intentionally.

Shang Xuechen ignored the eyes of the three assistants, bent down to pick up the marbles he had popped out, and when he got up, he squinted at the one who had just settled in the middle and didn't respond, and just happened to see the slight movement of his right index finger. for a moment.Shang Xuechen smiled and straightened up, "Manager Ji."

Ji Shuping heard Shang Xuechen call him, and the moment he turned his head, there was the perennial smile on his face.Shang Xuechen looked careless, stretched out his hand, put the marble in his palm, and said to Ji Shuping, "Return the things to you."

Shang Xuechen saw the corner of Ji Shuping's mouth twitching, but he didn't reach out to take the things in his hand.Shang Xuechen still felt tired when he raised his arm, so he didn't bother to wait, so he stuffed the marbles into his suit pocket, "My friend tore his ligament in the company today. I don't know if it counts as a work-related injury?"

Ji Shuping still maintained a smile on his face, and turned the watch on his wrist. Although he was still facing Monk Xuechen, his gaze was directed towards the assistant diagonally behind him.The assistant behind Ji Shuping started to speak, Shang Xuechen didn't listen to a word, watching Ji Shuping look away, turned his head away, no longer looking at himself, pretending to be calm and facing the elevator door.

Shang Xuechen didn't say anything more, he knew in his heart that this man was really too easy to offend, childish revenge.Revenge for what?Is it because Zhou Yuan brought an unpleasant person to the interview?If so, the manager is really careful.

The elevator door opened, and Shang Xuechen turned around to get out of the elevator. When his arm brushed against Ji Shuping, he said softly, "Manager Ji's shoes are dirty."

When Ji Shuping came out of the elevator, he suppressed the smile on his face, and looked at the figure turning out of the revolving door with a slightly hostile face.

Ji Shuping stood in the newly rented apartment, walked around and looked at the layout.Walk to the bay window of the second bedroom on the north side, stretch out the index finger to open a little curtain, and look at the building opposite.On the opposite floor, a few houses were sporadically illuminated. The distance between the buildings was not very far. The curtains in the living room were not drawn, and people could be vaguely seen walking around.Ji Shuping tried the newly bought binoculars, and he could clearly see the movement in the living room on the same floor opposite. The woman with her ankle wrapped was putting her injured foot on the coffee table in front of the sofa.Ji Shuping put down the binoculars in his hand, took out his mobile phone and put on his earphones.

When Shang Xuechen received a call from Zhou Yuan, he was crowded on the subway. Zhou Yuan injured her foot and was resting at home and could not go out for a walk. The call was nothing more than a complaint.Shang Xuechen huddled in the subway listening to her complaints, and happened to be touching a marble when he put it in his pocket, and he remembered that he had picked up two marbles and returned one to Ji Shuping.

Shang Xuechen pretended to have no intention of asking, "You were in the stairwell, why did you fall?"

Zhou Yuan looked at her feet on the coffee table and pouted, "Don't mention it, I just wanted to take the stairs to the financial office downstairs. It happened that the boss was on the phone there, so I stood there and listened. Ear. Who knows, it fell off." Zhou Yuan recalled the conversation between her and the boss this afternoon, and when she remembered something, her voice suddenly increased, and Shang Xuechen, who was on the other end of the phone, moved the phone away from her ear in shock, "Assistant position There is no shortage of people, but a gatekeeper, are you interested?"

When the subway entered the tunnel, Shang Xuechen’s ears rang. He couldn’t hear what Zhou Yuan said, so he turned his phone to the other side, “I found a part-time job at a convenience store, and I will often work night shifts. Recently, you are recuperating at home by yourself.” Come on."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yuan raised her voice again, "Then will you still go out at night? Qi Liang is not looking for you."

Shang Xuechen frowned when he heard the name, "It's not night shift every day, it's only four days a week, let's do this for now." When the subway was nearing the station, Shang Xuechen talked more lazily, and when he hung up, he followed the crowd. stop.

The convenience store where Shang Xuechen works part-time is only two streets away from the neighborhood where he lives. The 24-hour convenience store is short of people at night, and no part-time student is willing to stay overnight.Shang Xuechen felt that he didn't have a job he particularly wanted to do recently, so he simply worked in a convenience store first.

As the night darkened, a few people in the store were sitting and eating Kanto cooking.Bored, Shang Xuechen sat on the stool, took out his pocket to play with his phone for a while, and found the marble in his pocket.He took the marble out and set it on the counter, turning it with his fingers.The marbles scratched against the glass counter, and there was a buzzing sound. Shang Xuechen laughed when he heard it, "It's not smart to lie."

Ji Shuping is already lying on the bed in the master bedroom at this moment, he knows that Shang Xuechen will not come back tonight.In the earphones, Shang Xuechen's teasing words pierced his ears, making him unable to help asking, how can you be shrewd to lie?

Shang Xuechen was like a cat playing with a ball of wool, playing with the marbles with his fingertips with increasing vigor.So much so that when someone came to check out with coffee, Shang Xuechen looked up with a rare and pure smile on his face.When he saw the person in front of him clearly, Shang Xuechen seemed to change his facial makeup, and his handy smile appeared on his face again, lazy and airy, clearly wanting to tease, "Long time no see, Jiajia."

Allison?Hearing Shang Xuechen's change of tone, Ji Shuping guessed that he probably had a relationship with this Jiajia.

The girl named Jiajia didn't show any good looks.When she first came in, she didn't pay attention to who the clerk was, but now she found out that it was an old lover, she couldn't hold back, and said coldly, "Check out."

Shang Xuechen kept smirking at the corner of his mouth, scanning the QR code to collect money and find change, Jiajia in front of him kept his head down, and when he took the change, the person across the counter grabbed her hand and scratched the back of her hand with his fingers, Indescribably ambiguous.

Shang Xuechen held Jiajia's hand, leaned his upper body down, and propped his elbows on the table, so that he could meet Jiajia's lowered gaze when he raised his head, "How are you doing, Jiajia."

Jiajia turned her head to avoid her eyes and saw the marbles on the counter.Shang Xuechen turned his head and said with a smile, "I like this marble, why don't I give it to you?" After finishing speaking, he scratched the back of Jiajia's hand, and Jiajia withdrew her hand, "I want to get married gone."

Shang Xuechen withdrew his hand in the air, supported his chin, and leaned lazily on the counter, "Oh? How about we have a friendship show before you get married?"

The crisp sound of "pop" caused gossiping looks from the people sitting in the shop eating oden.Shang Xuechen, whose head was tilted by the slap, pressed his tongue against his chin, his face was still sore, he turned around and came out with a bottle of ice mineral water from the freezer to apply on his face.No matter what, Jia Jia grabbed the change and ran out.

Shang Xuechen held the ice water and stood in front of the glass door to see her leaving in a hurry, wondering what to do, why not just slap her, and ask you to get her back.After thinking about it, I looked up, the sky was so dark that there were no stars, and the sad sky at a 45-degree elevation angle didn't cooperate to make a light.Shang Xuechen took a deep breath, married, very good.After this slap, I don't owe you any more.

Ji Shu lay flat on the bed as if listening to a radio drama, remembering that Shang Xuechen had casually prepared his marbles to give away just now, and drifted out a sentence, "It deserves it." Pulling up the quilt, he closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Ji Shuping turned over, still not asleep, glanced at the bedside alarm clock, at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, turned on the phone to check the location, got up and put on a piece of clothing casually.

The guy who sat in the corner and ate oden boiled, from time to time cast a look at the gossip crowd who came over with probing eyes. Seeing that Shang Xuechen was still crying without covering his face, he swallowed the last ball and left before midnight.Shang Xuechen was usually in the bar at this time of day, his ears filled with electronic sounds, booming, this was the first time he knew that a person's night was so quiet.

Automatic glass doors welcome you with an electric female voice.When Shang Xuechen heard someone coming, he supported the counter and stood up again.A box of pudding was placed in front of him, Shang Xuechen looked up at the person who came up, and couldn't help laughing again, there was no way that the pudding didn't match the general manager Ji in front of him.

Ji Shuping looked at Shang Xuechen who was smiling expressionlessly, his smile was not as airy as he was in the elevator during the day, but he was not used to watching it.Ji Shuping didn't avoid Shang Xuechen's smiling eyes, and said coldly, "Give me back my marbles."

Shang Xuechen laughed even more heartily when he heard this, his mouth opened, showing some gums.The curved smile at the corner of the mouth looks like a crescent moon. Compared with the rebelliousness hidden in the patterned smile seen in the restaurant, the crescent moon smile now looks sweeter.Shang Xuechen straightened his back with a smile, and laughed away the slumped smile that he usually carried with his back hunched, and put a bright smile on his face.

Ji Shuping saw him staring at him and smiling, although he wasn't unhappy, but he still frowned, it wasn't that he didn't like Shang Xuechen, it was just that his smile was all pretending and acting, how could he laugh at him naturally? It's really not very good, but fortunately, the muscles on the face are not as tense as in the daytime.In the frowning, the Chuan characters piled up to Shang Xuechen's smile, in fact, there was a bit of not knowing what to do.

Shang Xuechen leaned over the counter with a smile and leaned closer, meeting the eyes of the person coming up, or his usual teasing posture, "Isn't Manager Ji wearing glasses?"

Ji Shuping went out in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the glasses.Wearing a suit and bow tie during the day, his hair is full of hairspray, and his hairstyle is as hard as his smile.Now that he has taken a shower, short-sleeved black pants, his bangs let down to cover his eyes, his expressionless face in a loose casual outfit is more attractive than his pretended peace in a straight suit.

Ji Shuping was never someone who would be the first to avoid him when someone provoked him. He had a tough and incomprehensible style, not knowing that Shang Xuechen's eyes staring at him were clearly provocative.Shang Xuechen leaned on the counter and looked up at him, and he put his hands on the edge of the counter and looked down at him. This action narrowed the distance between the two, "Is it funny that I don't wear glasses?"

Shang Xuechen, who is used to seeing all kinds of men and women in the night scene, has always known that his eyes meet, and whoever hides first will be at a disadvantage, but he forgot to pay attention to the eyes facing each other in the current scene, and the ambiguity in offensive and defensive postures. He held his head up , "I laugh at you for being naive when playing marbles at such an age." With a hook of your finger, pudding came, which happened to be sandwiched between the two, "The taste is also quite naive."

It's not that Ji Shuping threw in the towel and hid first, it's just that Shang Xuechen was lying low, his waist was sagging, and some skin color was showing at the hem of his trousers.He accidentally glanced at Shang Xuechen's exposed slender waist, shaking his head.Shang Xuechen only thought that he was the winner in this eye-to-eye confrontation, proudly got up and turned to the cash register machine to give Ji Shuping some change.

The hem of Shang Xuechen's clothes was tucked in his trousers on the one hand, and the other side was open to the outside of the trousers, just revealing a seam. The hem of the open trousers covered the thighs, and the hem of the clothes pocketed in the trousers showed the half of the buttocks. The buttocks are sunk in nothingness.Ji Shuping put away his hands propped by the counter, folded his hands, his left hand stuck into the tiger's mouth of his right and rested on the counter.

Shang Xuechen turned around to hand over the money, still complacent, forgetting to spy on Ji Shuping's little tricks.Ji Shuping took the money and left, Shang Xuechen lazily returned to the stool, and saw that there were two items on the counter, marbles and pudding.Shang Xuechen smiled crescent again, put the marbles in his pocket, and scooped up pudding with a spoon.Staying up late with pudding doesn't feel like a long night.

Shang Xuechen ate the last mouthful of pudding, licked the spoon clean, and licked the dry corners of his mouth when his tongue came back into the cage. The eyes under the eyebrows were dark and unclear, Mr. Ji, who is not shrewd in lying, does he want to play?Shang Xuechen is a lazy person, and has always been able to distinguish between lies and sincerity. He has a clear understanding of last Ji Shuping's situation, and the superiority lies in means, while the inferiority lies in status.
