Do not lie to me

On the way back, Shang Xuechen still had the overly sweet white chocolate in his mouth.He had to admit that he was secretly happy, and after he finished, he began to reorganize his relationship with Ji Shuping.In fact, this is a question he has been avoiding all the time. Strictly speaking, he collects money to accompany Ji Shuping, which can be regarded as a plaything for people's entertainment. After careful study, in fact, there are countless ambiguities in their relationship. Couples must not.He sighed, thinking that this is good, he can no longer be greedy, and just label them as waiting to be dealt with, with ups and downs.

If the current state is the best state, he really wants to keep the relationship between them in the pending stage, take a step closer inactively, and keep it as it is. He only hopes that their relationship will not be cleaned up and formatted with one click. .In fact, he couldn't believe that there was room for further development in their relationship.

He glanced at Ji Shuping who was driving, and then looked away. As for what Ji Shuping thought, he really didn't dare to ask.

Ji Shuping, who was driving next to him, was dull and silent all the way. When the car reached the place, he turned his head and said to Shang Xuechen who had been in a daze, "Here we are." Reminding him to get off the car.

After being called back to God by Ji Shuping, Shang Xuechen unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car in a hurry.Ji Shuping got out of the car and walked into the house with two big shopping bags in the back seat. He didn't forget to turn around and ask Shang Xuechen to pick up the big bag of rice that he didn't have.Shang Xuechen took out the rice from the back seat, hugged him heavily, followed behind Ji Shuping, watching him carry things.

He was obsessed with the figure of his predecessors behind him, and the thing in his arms seemed to be a living thing with arms and legs, and his calf kicked his arm, like a baby.When the image of a baby appeared in his mind, he subconsciously looked down at the rice bag in his hand. It was still such a heavy thing wrapped around his arm, just because he didn't wrap it properly and it tended to fall to the ground.He was terrified by his own imagination.

baby?what does that mean?It is a symbol of troublesome responsibility, bondage to others, and home.

Shang Xuechen was stunned, the rice bag in his arms was still falling down, Ji Shuping opened the door and stood at the gate waiting for him, then turned around and urged him to come in quickly.He looked at Ji Shuping standing at the door, recalled the first time he had an illness in front of him, and asked him in a daze, "Is this our home?"

Ji Shuping urged him again, then put the things in his hand on the ground, walked towards him, and took the rice bag from his arms.He thought that Shang Xuechen's shoulders hurt and he couldn't lift the rice bag, "Hurry up and get in the house, there are still ingredients to prepare, after processing, we can only eat it for dinner." After finishing speaking, he put one hand around Shang Xuechen's waist and walked away. When he reached the door, he picked up the two shopping bags on the ground with one hand, and turned around to urge him again.

Shang Xuechen stood there looking at Ji Shuping at the door, raised his footsteps and finally walked towards the door step by step, muttering, "I'm really greedy." Then he smiled helplessly, because the ridiculous thing is that they even ordinary people Couples are not counted, and his imagination has leapfrogged directly to home.

And who doesn't want to take a step closer when his condition is getting better?People always think too much when they are greedy and then act impulsively. Otherwise, how can there be so many wedding banquet business in the hotel.

When Shang Xuechen entered the house, Ji Shuping had already carried his things to the kitchen. He turned around and closed the door. When he went to the living room and looked at the decoration of this house, he felt that the decoration was too cold, and it really didn't fit the image of a home.He thought, well, if the environment is more suitable, he doesn't know what extra fantasies he will have.

Walking to the kitchen, the bag of rice was placed on the counter, and Ji Shuping was busy going back and forth between the counter and the cooking counter by himself.He suddenly wanted to know what Ji Shuping looked like wearing an apron.It was too disobedient, he shook his head to get rid of this curiosity, went forward to hold the rice bag, went to squat under the cooking table, dug out the rice box, opened the lid to see, isn't there still rice?

He glanced at Ji Shuping who was busy washing vegetables by the sink, and without saying anything, he unthreaded the rice bag, poured all the rice in, and punched it into the pile of rice.The pile of rice sank, enveloping his fist like quicksand, which was enough to relieve the pressure. When he pulled out his fist, he remembered that he had sprinkled rice in Yao Caier's handbag.He regretted thinking that he really shouldn't just listen to Xu Xueshi's one-sided words. He should have seen the car that picked up Yao Caier. If there was a physical conflict, some rice should have been sprinkled on the car.

Ji Shuping's cell phone rang, and the businessman's cell phone could not be muted, who knows when there will be business to deal with.Ji Shuping shook his wet hands, took a towel to dry his hands, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket.He didn't answer, and walked out of the kitchen with his mobile phone. Shang Xuechen pretended not to see it, and continued to spread the rice with his hands.But his ears listened to Ji Shuping's pace, calculating how far he had gone.

The big problem with the house is that it's too empty, and even the sound of footsteps can be heard clearly.When Ji Shuping stopped, he got up. Ji Shuping was not far away. He had left the kitchen and hadn't reached the living room. He was probably on the stairs.Shang Xuechen leaned against the wall that separated the kitchen from the living room, walked two steps around the wall to the stairs, and he could hear Ji Shuping's voice on the phone.

"What's the matter? Have you figured out that you want to sell the shares? The list? Let me tell you again, I don't have it in my hands, and all the resources in the chairman's hands are in her hands. She has helped the Shao family run the business for many years. It exists in her mind, and will not be saved in documents. The Ji family does not stand in line, and there is no need to keep other people's handles. People in the mall have always followed suit. Down?"

Shang Xuechen didn't know who Ji Shuping was talking to, but he knew that the list was not in Ji's house.Before Ji Shuping finished his call, he quietly squatted back under the cooking table.He inserted his hand into the rice and turned it back and forth, but he was constantly calculating in his mind. The list in the uncle's hand was plainly written down by sending bribe money through the resources in Ji Shuping's mother's hand.This thing is indeed a handle, and it is easy to kill people if you keep it to save your life.

Looking at Xu Xueshi's appearance, he probably thought that the list was in Ji's house, so he probably wasn't too sure, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself to confirm it.If you are not sure, then rush to find the Ji family to cooperate, maybe on the one hand to find the list, on the other hand, if the list is not in the Ji family, then imitate the old way of the Shang family back then, reach a cooperation with the Ji family, use the resources of the Ji family to recreate Bribe a group of people to help him gain a foothold.He couldn't tell Xu Xueshi immediately that the list was not in Ji's house, and now it seems that even if the list was not in Ji's house, Xu Xueshi didn't intend to let Ji's go.He had to hold back and wait until he knew what Xu Xueshi was going to do next before making any plans, so that he could protect Ji Shuping and prevent what happened back then from repeating itself.

Footsteps sounded from behind, it was Ji Shuping who hung up the phone and returned to the kitchen.Shang Xuechen calmed down, with his hands still in the rice box, Ji Shuping's voice sounded, "Stop playing with rice, you will be struck by lightning when you play with grain."

He was startled by Ji Shuping's words, tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face, looked up at Ji Shuping, "It's very decompressing." After a pause, he decided to ask him directly, "You haven't been to the company these days, are you Is there a phone number from the company?"

"I didn't go to the company because I was on sick leave and needed to recuperate. The call wasn't from the company, it was my uncle."

Is it Shao Ling?It seems that the list is no longer in the hands of Shao Ling who jumped out and instigated the kidnapping of Ji Shuping.The Ji family doesn't need this list, and Shao Ling doesn't have it, so who owns the list that the Shang family disappeared back then?

Shang Xuechen was so engrossed in thinking about things that he kept inserting his hands vertically into the rice, like practicing iron sand palms.Ji Shuping couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over to pick him up, "Didn't I tell you not to play with rice?"

After being reprimanded by Ji Shuping, he felt embarrassed, "You occupy the pool, why don't I have nothing to do."

"The water splashed on me, help me find an apron and tie it on."

Hearing what he said, Shang Xuechen's first reaction was to look towards the living room. He thought that the goldfish's wishing effect was too strong, but after thinking about it, Ji Shuping asked for it.Seeing that he was in a daze again, Ji Shuping raised his hand and tapped a chestnut on his forehead, "What are you thinking, look for it quickly."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued to wash the vegetables, leaving Shang Xuechen alone on the spot, his eyes widened, and he covered his forehead tightly, his cheeks flushed to the base of his ears for the first time.what?Isn't this ambiguous and intimate gesture a flirt between lovers?After staying there for a while, he put down his hands and looked through the cabinets to find an apron.

Ji Shuping, who was standing by the pool, glanced at him sideways, and shook his head slightly. What kind of slutty person, who didn't change his expression even when he was doing pornographic things to him, was unexpectedly innocent.He likes being gentle with him, and likes the intimate physical contact that is not out of bounds. He has found out the tone that Shang Xuechen likes. It is a little different from his appearance, but it is very interesting. He can't help but cock up when thinking about it Mouth.

On the other side, Shang Xuechen, who was flipping through the cupboard, kept thinking about the moment when he was hit by a chestnut just now, and he didn't pay attention to see if there was no apron in the cupboard, although the movement of rummaging in his hands didn't stop, and the movement was quite loud , but just to cover up my blushing cheeks, and to distract myself a little, so that I don't have to keep thinking about that moment just now.

However, the louder the movement, the more deceitful it is. Not only did Shang Xuechen not get rid of the images in his mind, but he gradually developed some incredible images. Ji Shuping asked him to find an apron, and he had already imagined a pink lace apron with a lanyard. It was lace, hanging around Ji Shuping's neck, and the lace at the back of his waist was made of gauze, which tightened Ji Shuping's waist. Thinking of this, he blushed even more, but he was able to regain his concentration and find the apron.

After rummaging for a long time, he finally found a black apron. Shang Xuechen couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw it. The apron was no different from the apron worn by the barista in the coffee shop.He handed Ji Shuping the apron, looked at his face, and thought, too, how could he wear a pink lace apron.

Ji Shuping raised his wet hands and bowed his head at him, which meant he wanted him to help tie the apron.Shang Xuechen could only unfold the folded apron, put it on Ji Shuping's neck, wait for him to straighten his waist, and then go around behind Ji Shuping to help him fasten the belt at the back of his waist.

"There's something in the pocket of the apron, and it hurts."

"Is there? No." Obviously when he took out the apron, the apron was folded squarely, and he didn't feel that there was any hard object hidden inside. Although he had doubts on his mouth, his hands still separated from each other. Ji Shuping's waist, to touch the apron pockets on both sides of the front abdomen.

"There is nothing." After confirming, he was about to stop, but Ji Shuping's arms clamped his forearm, making him unable to take it back, "What are you doing?"

"Give me a hug."

Ji Shuping's straight shot directly hit Shang Xuechen's bull's-eye, which made him unexpected. How would he answer in the past?He would scold Ji Shuping unceremoniously, even if Ji Shuping made him feel a little bit excited on the way to the store today, but he would still call him a bastard when he got out of the car.But at this moment, he was really knocked out of the head by Ji Shuping's series of attacks.First, he tricked him into kissing him with chocolate excuses in the parking lot, tapped a chestnut on his forehead when he was unsuspecting, and now asked him for a hug directly, without even making excuses, step by step Defeat Shang Xuechen's line of defense.

Shang Xuechen couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north. Ji Shuping didn't hesitate for 2 minutes at this simple request. He stretched out his hand from the pocket of his apron, and took two steps forward to press Ji Shuping's back tightly. , surrounded him.Glancing at Ji Shuping's broad shoulders, he naturally put his chin on it. Ji Shuping turned his head and met the eyes of the person on the shoulder. He leaned over and touched his forehead with his forehead, then closed his eyes and tapped it with the tip of his nose The tip of his nose, after finishing this, he turned around and let go of his arms to continue washing the vegetables.Liu Shangxuechen hugged him alone, stunned by this series of movements on his shoulder.

What does it mean?Is it the legendary love can't help it?

This flash of thought made Shang Xuechen feel like he was touching something hot, he let go of Ji Shuping, and hurriedly backed away two feet away.

"Where do you want to eat? The kitchen or the living room?"

"Ah? Well, that... just the living room. You can watch TV." There were only two people sitting across from each other in the kitchen, who knew that Ji Shuping would make some tricks out of nowhere.

"Then you take the electric cooker to the living room."

Shang Xuechen went to the living room with the electric cooker in his arms, put down the cooker and sat down on the ground, this kind of ordinary daily conversation is the most fatal, even more deadly than Ji Shuping's teasing tricks.After all, he came from a bad background, and he has never heard the ordinary conversations in other people's homes. When he got home, what he heard was whether the younger brother was beaten or not, and which drug dealer was arrested, should he not vomit a little? There was no movement, and then moved again.He has never had a stable home. In addition to environmental reasons, the main reason is that he is an illegitimate child. In fact, he is the same as an illegitimate child, and his birth is not even legal.Who would have no expectations of home, the more they don't have, the more they yearn for it.

Ji Shuping came out with the dishes, put down the things in his hand, took the pillow from the sofa and handed it to him, "It's just because you have a fever, don't just sit on the floor."

"Yeah." He accepted Ji Shuping's concern with his head down, and stuffed the pillow under his buttocks.

Ji Shuping went to the kitchen a few more times before he put all the dishes on the table. He sat on the floor and watched Ji Shuping go back and forth between the kitchen and the living room. Then the pot in front of him began to boil with aroma, and finally Ji Shuping sat down beside him. Turned on the TV and asked him, "What do you want to watch?"

He turned around and took another pillow and handed it to Ji Shuping, so that he could also put it under his buttocks. He was actually really easy to coax, but no one gave in first. Now, although Ji Shuping's sudden concession made him feel at a loss What to do, but he still remembers to reciprocate courtesy.Ji Shuping took the pillow in his hand, took out another apron from the untie pocket of the apron, unfolded it and put it around Shang Xuechen's neck, passed his hands under his armpit, and tied the tie behind him , the posture is no different from a hug, "Don't splash the oil."

"Ji Shuping?"

"Ok?"

"I want to see that comedy you showed me yesterday."

"it is good."

There was a comedy on the TV, Shang Xuechen was holding a bowl in his hand, and Ji Shu usually scooped the boiled beef into his bowl from time to time, he looked down at the beef in the bowl, thinking, so this is the feeling.

When he was young, he felt that eating hot pot was very annoying. The fashionista hadn't established a firm foothold in the Tao, and it was often a big round table, surrounded by thugs who followed the Shang family, each with a scarred face. The atmosphere at the dining table was terrible, everyone put the mutton into the copper pot, and sometimes they had to argue over who ate an extra piece, which made him feel that the noisy hot pot table was the most annoying thing in the world.He was squeezed among this group of strong adults, and he couldn't reach the food, and no one would think of him, so he just dipped a little sauce on the plate and ate bibimbap.

What year is it?He couldn't remember clearly. Uncle and dad were going out to negotiate the price of medicine. At that time, uncle hadn't come yet, and Shang Xuechen hadn't gone to school seriously. Dad took him directly and made an appointment at a hot pot restaurant. In the box upstairs, it was inconvenient for him, a child, to follow into the box to talk about things, so he was entrusted to the proprietress to watch over.He sat on the empty seat in the hall on the first floor. At that time, he was not as tall as the table, and he sat on the chair and swayed his feet.

It seemed to be a winter night, he remembered that the hot pot restaurant was doing very well, and many people came to eat, and there happened to be a family of three sitting in a four-person seat opposite him.A couple brought a child, who seemed to be about his age, not as high as the table, and whose feet couldn't touch the ground. He saw the child's father hugging the child who was not as tall as the table, and the child If he can see the table clearly, he can point out which dish he wants to eat, and the mother next to him will help him to heat the dish and put it in his bowl. Wiped my mouth clean.It was a dining table he had never had, and it was the first time he understood jealousy at a young age.

He looked at the family of three on the opposite side, and realized that food that he couldn't eat could be picked up by someone, and that if he was not tall enough, he could be picked up. It turned out that eating hot pot was not such an annoying thing.From that day on, he gradually looked forward to eating hot pot.

How long has passed since then?It seems that some time has passed, it was when the Shang family was about to stand up, and that day there was a pile of scarred faces sitting around the table eating hot pot, and his father was there, sitting beside him, Busy talking about things with the people next to you.When his father was talking about things, he didn't dare to interrupt at will. He just looked at his father's empty bowl. For the first time, he climbed up from the chair by himself, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the mutton in the pot, and finally The group of wolf-scarred faces snatched a piece of meat from the middle, and carefully put it into Dad's empty bowl.

He had expected that his father would rub his head, then hugged himself into his lap, and asked him, what do you want to eat?But Dad just turned around and glanced at him. The person next to him who was talking to him stopped the original topic, and said politely, "Second brother Shang is sensible at such a young age, and he will definitely be able to manage the house in the future." Dad was very satisfied when he heard the compliment, but But I just turned to him and said, "You eat by yourself." Then I went back and continued the conversation.

He was not disappointed, he persuaded himself that way at the time, his father said that a man can't show a little ridiculous weakness outside, because there are too many people staring at him.His father had told him this too many times, so he could forgive his father at a young age.Later, he just poured all the dipping ingredients in the plate into the white rice, and the corners of his mouth were covered with black sauce.Perhaps, after everyone has left, Dad will secretly wipe his mouth.Later, when everyone finished eating and got off the table, my father turned around and only said to him, "Follow my cousin in a while." He led the people away without looking back.

He sat at a table higher than him, facing the pile of leftovers, and shed tears.Not long after, Xu Xueshi came, but that year Xu Xueshi was still called Shang Xueshi, he was taller, stronger than him, and better able to adapt to the life on the road than him. Call him, "Brother."

The cousin who was still called Shang Xueshi that year came up and pushed him, pushed him off the chair, and yelled at him, "Why are you crying! Men in the Shang family are not allowed to cry!" But he cried so much Even worse, he just felt aggrieved, lying on the ground and yelling, "Brother, it hurts so much."

After all, his cousin has not yet grown up and is not cruel enough, so he picked him up from the ground, "Don't cry, brother will take you to play the slot machine." Then he walked along the street with him in his arms. In several alleys, the sound of fighting and heart-piercing wailing can be heard.I don't know who set off a few firecrackers all of a sudden. At that time, he didn't listen to the sound and thought it was a firecracker. Later, when he grew up, he heard a lot and realized that it was a gunshot.Just these few sounds made his brother stop, and then he heard his cousin say, "The Shang family has been established in the hands of my father and second uncle, and it will be even more powerful in our hands in the future. Dare to move."

That day, his uncle and his father led a group of people, took out the drug sales money they had saved for many years to clear up the relationship, bought smuggled firearms, and fought with the Shang family who had been monopolizing their drug distribution channels. The Shang family finally No longer a low-level drug dealer, he made a head for himself.That day, the Shang family really stood up on the road, but Shang Xuechen didn't feel happy at all. He was still sad that he didn't have an ordinary home, and no one would hug him on his lap when he couldn't reach the table. Vegetables, wipe his mouth.

For many years after that, he often ate hot pot, but it was all by himself.When the college entrance examination scores came out, his grades were good. He celebrated by eating hot pot. At that time, his father, uncle, and uncle were all gone, and his cousin hadn't seen him for many years.On the day he got the admission notice, he still went to eat hot pot. The third-year high school students met separately. He didn't go because no one called him. He nestled in the basement he rented and ate hot pot with a coal stove. The landlord found out , scolded him, and increased the rent.But it was really dangerous. Only a year had passed since the explosion. He often couldn't control himself from getting sick, knocked over the coal stove he used to start a business, and almost burned himself to death in the basement.He thought that it would be more economical in the future, and he still had to eat out when he wanted to eat hot pot.So he was hungry for many days, and when other people’s children held 18th birthday parties and teacher appreciation banquets, he took the hot pot that he had saved for many days to eat outside by himself.

In the summer when the college entrance examination ended, the other children were busy with various banquets, traveling, and looking forward to college life.He, a down-and-out underworld young master, was busy working everywhere to save tuition fees, and then when he saw a student of the same age who he envied, he went to eat hot pot and ate a mouthful of burnt foam.

Seen by the manager of the club where he worked, he said that it affected his image, so he was dismissed from the work of welcoming guests in the front hall, and sent to the back kitchen to wash dishes and deal with the leftovers.In this way, the tip will be much less, but it’s also good, there will be a lot of leftovers in the kitchen, and you can eat some leftovers to save on meal expenses.It's just that there are a lot of rumors about the back kitchen, talking about his surname, whether it is the Shang family who used to be unparalleled in the Tao.

Later, the rumors changed again. When he went to take out the garbage, he was pinched twice by the chef who often squatted next to the garbage can and smoked, touched his buttocks twice, he endured it, he had to work to save money Going to school, I don't want to cause trouble, I don't want to show off my skills, and it turns out that he is really from the Shang family who used to be beautiful. As long as he doesn't make a sound, father and uncle will no longer be used as bibimbap They are all dead, let them sleep peacefully.As a result, more and more people squatted next to the trash can and smoked. Until later, the manager who transferred him to the back kitchen asked him if he wanted to be a waiter serving VIPs, and the money would be more.When the manager asked him this, he knew what it meant that the money would be more, so he had no choice but to resign.In fact, he is very short of money, and he didn't resign because he cared about his body. It's just that there are too many people in this clubhouse, one or two will recognize him. He can't want to be talked about while serving others. Look at this is the son of the second master of the Shang family who was cruel and merciless back then.He didn't care about himself, he just talked about his identity as the son of the Shang family, and the matter of his father would inevitably be teased and talked about by others. He wanted to bear it by himself. There is no one left in the Shang family, and they will be forgotten in the end. , nobody said anything about Dad and Uncle so they could rest in peace.After paying the wages, I went to eat hot pot by myself. This time, not only did I get blisters, but I also developed several sores in my mouth.

He just ate hot pot by himself all the time, and he didn't go to the college graduation or university farewell party. He ate hot pot outside by himself.No matter whether it is winter or summer, the business of the hot pot restaurant has always been very good. Some of them go with the family, and some go with friends. When he goes to eat hot pot alone, it is as if the lively people around the hot pot restaurant are with him. This made him miss the very noisy dining table when he was a child with a scarred face, cursing and swearing when he opened and closed his mouth.

"Why don't you eat?"

Shang Xuechen came back to his senses, Ji Shuping delivered vegetables to his bowl with chopsticks, and he answered in a hurry, "No vegetables!"

He saw Ji Shuping frowned, and put the vegetables in his bowl, but he didn't let him go, "You're too picky about food."

When he was a child, no one said he was a picky eater, because no one ever cared about him.Shang Xuechen raised the corner of his mouth and pointed to the mutton not far from him, "I want to eat that."

Ji Shuping put the mutton into the pot, and put it into his bowl when it was cooked.He sandwiched the mutton covered with sauce, and swallowed the mutton in one gulp in front of Ji Shuping.The mutton just out of the pot hurt his tongue and throat when he put it in his mouth. He resisted making a sound, saw Ji Shuping frowned again, reached out and wiped the sauce off the corner of his mouth with his thumb, "It's not a child, eat it!" Things are still so dirty."

Shang Xuechen listened to Ji Shuping's scolding with the corner of his mouth curled up. It was an ordinary atmosphere. There was no rivalry or flirting on purpose. He saw the fish tank that had been moved to the ground to make room for it, and met the goldfish in the tank. Eye.He said to the goldfish in his heart, I did it on purpose this time.
