Do not lie to me

He didn't particularly like to eat, nor did he particularly dislike it.

Shang Xuechen had already put Zhou Yuan's affairs aside, and these words were all in his mind.Does he really have nothing he likes or dislikes?When I got back to the car and saw Ji Shuping, I suddenly remembered about Zhou Yuan, "Ji Shuping, Zhou..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Shuping came up to pull his collar, he looked down at his own collar, the round neck T-shirt, there was nothing to reason about.Looking at Uncle Kang at the front, it seems that the chairman still doesn't know about Yao Caier's disappearance, so he can't mention Zhou Yuan's matter in front of Uncle Kang.Uncle Kang had already looked over from the front, so he could only ask Ji Shuping, "How many rooms did you book in the hotel?"

Ji Shuping withdrew his hands and sat upright, meeting Uncle Kang's eyes, "Two rooms."

Shang Xuechen heaved a sigh of relief, he was actually quite concerned about this issue in his heart.If he only booked one room, the chairman would have to call him sooner or later. Why would he avoid Ji Shuping calmly?Although he has been worrying about this issue in his heart, he seems to have forgotten that all his worrying assumptions are based on the premise that he will share a room with Ji Shuping, and he is certain that Ji Shuping will book a room.Now knowing that Ji Shuping has booked two rooms, he is relieved and at the same time vaguely disappointed.

The car finally started to drive towards the destination. After leaving the main road in the city and getting on the highway, the road was gradually covered with bushes.Shang Xuechen looked at the scenery outside the window with mixed feelings.

The car drove for more than an hour, and passed the service area in the middle, "Master, do you want to get out of the car and take a rest?"

"Need not."

Shang Xuechen saw that Uncle Kang's expression was not good, and thought that Uncle Kang needed to get out of the car to mediate, and interjected, "I want to take a rest."

"Then stop and rest for a while."

Uncle Kang, who was driving ahead, glanced sideways at Shang Xuechen, turned on the turn signal, and drove the car into the service area.When the car stopped, Ji Shuping saw that he had no intention of getting out of the car, so he just said to Uncle Kang, "If you want to go to the toilet, go quickly. We'll wait for you here."

Uncle Kang's old face showed a little embarrassment, so he got out of the car quickly.There were only the two of them left in the car. Shang Xuechen glanced at Ji Shuping, and was about to tell him that Zhou Yuan had returned. Before he could speak, he was pulled over by Ji Shuping. Thinking that Ji Shuping suddenly became interested, he got up to push him away, "Ji Shuping, it's daytime, and he's still in the service area!" There were people coming and going, and it was unknown when Uncle Kang would come back.

Ji Shuping didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just leaned on him and sniffed from his chest to his neck, and asked while sniffing, "You smell so good today." After asking, he looked up at him expectantly, looking forward to him Remember a little something from your childhood.

Shang Xuechen didn't understand what he meant. Someone was passing by outside, so he had to push Ji Shuping to get up first, wait for others to sit upright, and tell Ji Shuping, "Zhou Yuan is back, is Yao Caier back?"

Ji Shuping answered irrelevantly, "You can't remember anything?"

Shang Xuechen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was asking himself again what he promised him when he first fell ill, but he actually remembered it later, but he just pretended not to know, "I'll get out of the car and buy something." After finishing speaking Escape seems to get out of the car, leaving Ji Shuping alone in the car.

Sitting in the car, Ji Shuping watched his back as he fled and got out of the car, thinking, he really forgot, that's right, who told him not to look for him again.The phone in his trouser pocket rang, and the caller ID was Shao Ling, "Hello."

"I heard that Zhou Yuan, who was missing together at that time, is back?"

"Ah."

"I want to see Zhou Yuan, I want to ask her about Cai Er."

"Yes, she is my employee, of course I can arrange for her to meet you. It's just..."

"only?"

"It's just uncle, how long do you want to hang the Shen family and me with the Shaw shares in your hand? If Yao Cai'er's ransom has not been received, will the kidnappers be impatient?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, "Are you in the company or where? I'll bring a lawyer to find you."

"I'm on vacation outside. If you really plan to sell the shares to me, the company is not a suitable place to sign a contract. Take your lawyer to the seaside hot spring hotel owned by Ji's to find me."

"Under the Ji family? You are not afraid that your mother will know about our transaction."

"Don't be afraid, as long as her eyeliner is mine, there is nothing to be afraid of. It is better to meet you at the Ji's Hotel openly and aboveboard than sneaking. Draw up the contract. You come over tomorrow night, and we will sign the contract in person the day after tomorrow."

As soon as Shang Xuechen got out of the car, he met Uncle Kang who came out and walked to the side of the car. He grabbed Uncle Kang and asked, "How long until we get to the beach?"

"Probably another hour or so."

Shang Xuechen glanced at Uncle Kang, and asked him bluntly, "Are you coming back after seeing us off or are you waiting at the hotel?"

"I will be on standby at the hotel until your recuperation is over and I will send you back."

It seems that the chairman's eyeliner is not enough.Shang Xuechen dragged Uncle Kang to the supermarket, but Uncle Kang was dragged a little reluctantly, so Shang Xuechen could only tell him, "Ji Shuping asked me to get out of the car and buy something to eat." Uncle Kang followed Shang Xuechen into the supermarket.

Shang Xuechen stopped and walked in the supermarket in the service area, but didn't take anything, and pretended to chat with Uncle Kang casually, "You have been in Ji's house for many years, right?"

"I have been driving for the chairman at Ji's house."

"Since Ji Shuping was a child?"

"Ah."

"Then do you know what Ji Shuping likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat?" Seeing Uncle Kang looking at him suspiciously, he immediately said a few more words to cover it up, "Knowing these, so that I can get closer to him."

Uncle Kang paused, he actually still doesn't like outsiders approaching his young master with a purpose, but now the chairman has trusted him more, and the young master likes him too, in fact, it doesn't matter if he says this, "Young master, he doesn't like anything in particular. , and nothing particularly annoying."

Shang Xuechen heard such an answer again, thinking in his heart, is this really the case?How can it be possible for a person to live without liking or disliking?After thinking about it, he reached out and took two boxes of chocolates from the shelf. Looking back at Uncle Kang, he was still looking at him, so he could only say one more thing, "Ji Shuping likes even numbers." Turning around, he took two boxes of potato chips from the side, "He Habits are really special.”

"Master, I didn't have this habit when I was a child."

Shang Xuechen looked back at Uncle Kang, waiting for his next words.

"One winter, I took the chairman to the airport, but it was snowing and the flight was canceled. When I got home, the chairman was very angry when he saw the dirty young master and slapped him. At that time, the young master was holding two bullets. Beads were thrown away by the chairman, and since then, the young master likes to buy everything in pairs, and likes even numbers."

After hearing this, Shang Xuechen thought to himself that the chairman was real. Ji Shuping was just playing for fun, so why did he throw away the things he liked? Dad just scolded him, so he felt that Ji Shuping's childhood was really pitiful.

While waiting to check out, he found bubble gum in the small drum next to the counter. He reached out and took out a handful, and paid the bill together.Back in the car again, he gave Ji Shuping chocolate, Ji Shuping shook his head, and offered potato chips, Ji Shuping also shook his head, and when he took out the bubble gum, Ji Shuping took a look at him and reached out to take it, and said to him, "But I haven't learned how to blow it yet." Bubbles."

After hearing this, he thought that Ji Shuping also had a childish side.I took one from him, tore off the package, put it in my mouth and chewed it, then puffed out my cheeks, blew out a ball of bubble gum vigorously, hooked the ball into my mouth with a hook of my tongue, continued to chew, and asked him, "Did you see it?" ?"

Ji Shuping shook his head, Shang Xuechen had to play it again for him to watch, Ji Shuping thought to himself, it turns out that people will really change when they grow up, and become dirty-minded, now he looks at the scene where Shang Xuechen hooked the bubble gum with his tongue In one scene, he was full of thoughts about that time at the bar, he squatted down, hooked his tongue under his body, and then raised his head lightly to give himself a look.

Shang Xuechen chewed bubble gum for a long time, and his cheeks hurt. Ji Shuping still watched from the side, and he had no intention of trying at all, so he was not going to teach him how to blow bubbles. He leaned aside and gave himself rub your face.Just as he stopped, Ji Shuping asked him again, "What are the stickers in your bubble gum?"

He picked up the package still in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and remembered that he hadn't been so naive in many years. He tore off that layer of film and pasted it on the back of his hand, scraped it for a long time, and then tore it off. Shang Xuechen said with a smile , "It's Tyrannosaurus. I didn't expect that there are Digimons now. I thought it was only Peppa Pig." He looked up at Ji Shuping, "Where's yours, what is yours?"

Ji Shuping handed him his own, and Shang Xuechen tore it off and pasted it on the back of his hand, scraped it out, and told him, "It's a bhikkhu beast." Looking up at him, he didn't seem to know any bhikkhu beasts, so he asked him , "Have you never seen Digimon?"

Ji Shuping shook his head and asked him, "Is there a black cat sheriff here?"

"Did you like to watch Sheriff Black Cat when you were a child?"

Ji Shuping still shook his head, "I haven't seen Sheriff Black Cat."

"Then why are you looking for Sheriff Black Cat? This animation is very old, I don't think so."

"I just like Sheriff Black Cat."

Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping and felt that what he said was very strange. Why do people who have never seen Sheriff Black Cat like Sheriff Black Cat?He sifts through unopened bubblegum, hoping he'll be lucky enough to pick him a black cat sheriff.

Uncle Kang, who was driving in front, listened to the naive conversations of the people behind, and looked back through the rearview mirror. The two of them leaned against each other, and kept putting stickers on their arms.Not like two adults, but like wild children on the street.Uncle Kang looked at him and said nothing. He thought it was fine. After all, their young master had never watched cartoons since he was a child, and he had never experienced what it was like to be childish. Although he is an adult now, he can still make up for the lack of childhood.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping's hands were already full of prints. When they got off the car and went to check in at the front desk of the hotel, Shang Xuechen remembered Ji Shuping's identity. It made people laugh, dragging people in the waiting area of ​​the lobby, trying to wipe off some water from the flower arrangement glass bottle.

"What are you doing?" Ji Shuping withdrew his hand and refused to let him wipe.

"I won't be able to laugh at you when I see the front desk of the hotel later. No matter what you say, you are the young master, and you will be discussed if you get anything on your body."

"But didn't I come here to recuperate?"

Hearing what he said, Shang Xuechen's hands paused, and he didn't know whether to thank him for using the excuse of pretending to hide his illness, or feel sorry for him for pretending to be sick.He just paused for a while, and still rubbed off the printing on the back of Ji Shuping's hand unceremoniously, "Anyway, I will rub it off when I take a bath." Some things don't have to be printed on the face to leave a laughingstock, he doesn't want Ji Shuping to be People make fun of.

Ji Shuping let him rub the back of his hand red, and watched him stand with his head bowed in front of him, leaving only a thought for himself. In fact, there is no gentleness in his nature, he is calm and fierce.It's just that when facing Shang Xuechen, he often loses his composure. Without self-restraint, he can only show his fierceness to him. After regretting it afterwards, he pretends to be gentle and makes up for him. Shang Xuechen is also easy to deceive, and he is obviously treated fiercely. After that, as long as Ji Shuping is gentle, he will find an excuse for him and gently expose it.In fact, he has always been easy to deceive, but he never let people deceive him.So at the beginning, I thought that meeting Ji Shuping was due to my bad luck and bad luck in everything. After careful investigation, I felt that he might be my own doom.

Looking at the person in front of him now, Ji Shuping felt it was unfair.Why, why don't you remember, the thing about the promise is like this, and it's the same when I was a child, only I am stuck in the past and the promise you made.He remembered Xu Xueshi's words again, he said he didn't like you, it was you who gave me marbles to trick me into seeing rainbows, it's okay if you don't like it!

When we first met, Ji Shuping knew that he was a casual person, hooking up with others and giving him winks at will. At first Ji Shuping didn't care, and only wanted to play with him.There was an ambiguity hidden in his piercing eyes and the raised corners of his mouth. Later, when he cared about it, he couldn't help but wonder if he did the same to others, with his chin propped up and the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes hooked. People can't move their eyes away, maybe he also promises to others lightly.No matter what kind of affection and righteousness is important to him, he will forget it in a blink of an eye if he has played with it.Even after forcing him to go to bed, he just gave him the money and then revealed it lightly. In his eyes, is he no different from his previous bed partner?

Ji Shuping endured, endured his insistence on rubbing off the prints on the back of his hand and making himself angry, he told himself that it was only because he was sick that he numb himself in that way, he himself said it, because he was On the fringe, nothing can be recognized by the mainstream, so that's why it's like this.Ji Shuping suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and tried his best to persuade himself that it's okay to forget, and it can't stimulate him anymore.

Shang Xuechen kept rubbing, and he didn't know why he rubbed so hard to remove the printing on the back of Ji Shuping's hand, but the more he rubbed, the more unwilling he felt, with the feeling of venting his anger, he also felt the same unwillingness when he skipped class when he was a child.He didn't let go until the back of Ji Shuping's hand was completely red from his rubbing. Looking at the back of Ji Shuping's hand, he still couldn't express his dissatisfaction in his heart.

After completing the check-in procedures with Ji Shuping, Ji Shuping turned to him and said, "Go back to your room and rest for a while, and I'll take you to the hotel restaurant for lunch later, and then soak in the hot spring."

"Aren't you going to the beach?" Otherwise, why come to the hotel by the sea.

"Wait for tomorrow."

Shang Xuechen heard Ji Shuping's "tomorrow", entered the elevator with lowered eyelids, and when he got out of the elevator, Ji Shuping gave him his room card, and Ji Shuping's room was opposite his door.After swiping his card and entering the door, he put the bag in his hand on the ground and walked towards the French window. With an empty hand, he picked up the decorative vase on the table. The goldfish was not there, so he couldn't tell what was on his mind.

Holding the vase, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at the sea not far away, muttering, "Tomorrow."

He doesn't have social security and works as a handyman all day long. He doesn't care about tomorrow at all, and he always enjoys the present.He likes Ji Shuping telling himself about the future, but he doesn't like explaining tomorrow to himself.In the future, this word sounds far away, even if Ji Shuping told him to go to see the sea in the future, he would only be happy to hear it, it is a little sweetness in life, being coaxed to be happy.But the word tomorrow sounds too close, so close that you overdraw all your happiness to today in advance, and then become anxious about gains and losses from your heart.

Expectations that are too far away will not be taken seriously, while promises that are too close are easy to break the contract. Tomorrow will become the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and after a season, even he himself forgets that there is only one tomorrow left.

Shang Xuechen sneered, when did he become so insecure.He has always been a mediocre person, how could he care about such things as a sense of security, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that since a certain winter, he has become insecure and no longer looks forward to tomorrow.What year is it winter?He has experienced too many things, from a wild kid on the side of the road, to a famous young master of the Shang family, and then back to a down-and-out remnant of the Shang family, life's ups and downs, he really can't remember.
