Do not lie to me

The traffic police rushed to the scene to direct the vehicles.All the people on the bus are thankful that the bus is running normally and they don't have to be late for work.Only Shang Xuechen sitting in the last row was devastated.

It wasn't too late when he arrived at the community where he was renting a house. When he opened the door, Zhou Yuan hadn't gone to work yet.

Zhou Yuan was about to go out with a piece of toast in her mouth, when she looked up and saw Shang Xuechen open the door, she was also quite surprised, "You're back? Why do you look so haggard?"

Hearing what she said, Shang Xuechen had a conditioned reflex to touch his own face. Before touching it, he felt that his behavior was actually quite stupid. He lowered his hand and asked Zhou Yuan, "Are you going to work? Aren't you resting at home?" ? After all, such a big incident happened?"

"what's up?"

Shang Xuechen looked at Zhou Yuan with a puzzled face. Zhou Yuan had already walked to the entrance, bowed her head to put on her shoes, and Shang Xuechen could only see the top of her head.Didn't she know about Shao Ling's death?Is the news out yet?

"You do not know?"

Zhou Yuan didn't look up, but just lowered her head to button her leather shoes, "What do you want me to know? The day before yesterday, Mr. Ji called me to see Manager Shao, saying that he wanted to ask about Yao Caier. I got in the car I was thrown out of the car not long ago, how could I know so much. Manager Shao yelled at me, yelling at me inexplicably. The company has also been on vacation for so many days, and it started to work as usual today."

Shang Xuechen didn't ask what Zhou Yuan was doing at the door of Shao Ling's room.Zhou Yuan didn't know that Shao Ling was dead yet, so he didn't know how to ask properly, maybe he was emotionally unstable at the time and thought too much.

"Well, my house may not be rented anymore."

"No more renting?" Zhou Yuan squatted on the ground for a long time before changing her foot and buttoning the other leather shoe. Even after hearing such sudden news from Shang Xuechen, she didn't seem to have any intention of raising her head.

Shang Xuechen couldn't see her face, and he couldn't figure out her attitude towards him suddenly not renting a house just by listening to her tone, "I have something to go abroad, otherwise I will help you pay the rent for three months. Months should be enough for you to find a new roommate."

"Going abroad? So suddenly, I don't seem to have heard you mention it before."

"Well, that's..."

"Okay." Zhou Yuan finally buckled up her shoes and got up, "Let's talk about this later. I'm rushing to work."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, she opened the door and went out. Liu Shang Xuechen let out a long breath inside the door alone. He hadn't thought of an excuse to go abroad to Zhou Yuan yet.After Zhou Yuan left, Shang Xuechen changed into his slippers, went directly into the living room and fell on the sofa, took the pillows and hugged him, turned over and fell asleep after a while.

Zhou Yuan went out and was waiting for the elevator, all she could think about was what Shang Xuechen told her about going abroad.There was no such move in the plan, and the person there just sent someone to send her back yesterday, she was afraid that Shang Xuechen had already returned, and that person would know that she had found Shang Xuechen and shared the rent with him.But she still gambled that Shang Xuechen would be with Ji Shuping, so she let go and agreed to be sent back.After all, after Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping got together, they rarely came back.

Shang Xuechen didn't come back yesterday, so he told himself to go abroad as soon as he came back this morning?Was it arranged by someone over there?Does Ji Shuping know?

When the elevator arrived, Zhou Yuan walked into the elevator and pressed the button. It seemed that she had to find a way to test Ji Shuping.

Zhou Yuan was still late when she arrived at the company, because she went out late, just in time for the most congested morning rush hour.When she arrived at the company, she secretly asked the people in the office if Mr. Ji had looked for her and what he had ordered. As a result, the people in the office said that Mr. Ji hadn't come out since he entered the office in the morning, and he didn't call for help to pour coffee.Zhou Yuan pondered for a while, then went straight into the tea room and started making coffee.

Ji Shuping sat in the office for almost a whole morning, staring at the marbles in the glass jar on the table.When the phone rang, Ji Shuping took out the phone and picked it up, "Is everything done with the reporter? Will the photos not leak out?"

They were photographed in the elevator, and he was afraid that Shang Xuechen's face would be featured in the tabloids.

The caller hesitated and said, "Mr. Ji, the reporter can't get through to the phone, but the photos seem to have been processed by someone. I went to the printing factory to check, and it is true that the photo at that time was not printed. There's no gossip going around."

At that time, so many reporters blocked them, but now they haven't revealed any news?Could it be that Xu Xueshi did it?

"Okay, I see." After hanging up the phone, Ji Shuping saw on his phone screen a photo of them taking a group photo in front of the teaching building of the small town school. Shang Xuechen restrained his smile, and secretly hooked his little finger his little finger.

Ji Shuping hesitated whether to call Shang Xuechen.Called last night and was told to turn off the phone.He was worried that Shang Xuechen did not answer on purpose.He looked at the group photo, the fun of hiding in school at that time, thinking about it now, can make the corners of his mouth curl up.At that time they were even better, Shang Xuechen always resisted his desire to be intimate at the beginning, but later he cooperated, letting him do as he pleases.

Ji Shuping was staring at the photos on his phone in a daze.Someone knocked on the door and came in, Ji Shuping immediately put the phone upside down on the table.

When Zhou Yuan came in with coffee, she still saw Ji Shuping's flustered movements, as if someone had been caught cheating on an exam.She had never seen Ji Shuping with such an obvious guilty conscience.But she just pretended not to see it, stepped forward with a smile, and brought the brewed coffee to Ji Shuping.

"Excuse me, manager, I'm late today."

"Hmm." Ji Shuping picked up the coffee, neither did he want to blame her, nor did he intend to listen to her explanation.

Zhou Yuan turned around and left without understanding, explaining to herself, "Because I went out too late today and the road was too congested. Alas, it's all my roommate."

Ji Shuping's hand holding the cup shook, and he even spilled some coffee. Zhou Yuan didn't intend to help wipe it when he saw it, and just waited for Ji Shuping to ask questions.

He is back?

Ji Shuping's question caught Zhou Yuan's heart, "What's wrong with your roommate?"

"Oh, I was just about to go out this morning, and my roommate suddenly appeared, saying that the house is not rented, and he is going abroad. I was in a hurry to go out, and it was not in a situation where I could sit down and talk with him in detail, so I asked a few questions casually I went out to catch the car, but I was still late. By the way, Mr. Ji, my roommate, you seem to know each other, you seemed to come together at the last press conference, what kind of consultant is he?"

"Acquainted by chance, ask him for help. All right, go out and do some work."

Realizing that, Zhou Yuan didn't intend to make fun of herself, so she turned around and left Ji Shuping's office.When Zhou Yuan left, Ji Shuping picked up the phone and dialed the finance number, "I was on vacation before, and I asked Zhou Yuan to meet me in the next city. Count her on a business trip, and immediately ask her to go to your finance office for reimbursement."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Shuping picked up his car keys and was about to rush back.Shang Xuechen has returned!

The phone on Zhou Yuan's desk rang non-stop. She squatted on the ground, and no one could see her with the desk in the way.Someone came to look for her, and she walked around the table and saw her, "Zhou Yuan, what are you doing squatting! Isn't the person in the financial office anxious to ask you for something? Calls are coming to me, you go downstairs quickly one trip!"

Zhou Yuan got up, and smiled at the person, "I'm looking for an invoice, and the accountant asked me to reimburse the travel expenses. Okay, thank you for reminding me, you can go now." After speaking, she slowly prepared to go downstairs.The financial office suddenly came looking for her, she was still surprised, deliberately delayed the time, squatting under the table, and waited until Ji Shuping came out with the car keys in a hurry, she finally knew why.I have to distract myself when I go out, I don't want her to see it, do I already suspect it?

Shang Xuechen was lying on the sofa in the living room, not in a deep sleep, but he woke up from time to time, as if he had a dream and saw something in the past, but it didn't seem like a dream because he saw Ji Shuping again.When he was fully awake, he lay awake on the sofa for a long time before he heard the doorbell ring.It turned out to be woken up by the doorbell.

Who will come to him at this time?Ji Shuping?

His heart trembled, if it was him, how should he deal with it.The anxious doorbell didn't allow him to think too much, urging him to get up and open the door.Shang Xuechen walked to the door and swallowed nervously when he opened it.When I opened the door, I was still surprised.

"why you?"

what how are youIt sounds like you're not welcome.Qi Liang stood outside the door, looking at Shang Xuechen's pale face, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Why are you here suddenly?"

"Remembering that I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm worried that you've taken on another job. I just wanted to call you to ask you, but your phone was turned off. I thought something happened to you, so I came here to see."

Shang Xuechen took out his mobile phone, "I forgot to charge my mobile phone, please come and sit down first."

Qi Liang entered the door, looked at Shang Xuechen who was walking towards the kitchen, "You look very bad, do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Shang Xuechen rummaged in the kitchen to see if there was anything he could entertain Qi Liang, but only found a piece of cake in the refrigerator.I had to pour two cups of boiled water and came out with the cake.

"I don't have anything here. I only have this piece of cake. It probably belongs to Zhou Yuan. I'll buy it for her later."

Qi Liang saw that he deliberately avoided the topic of going to the hospital, so he had no choice but to stop bringing it up, "You haven't seen anyone these days, what are you up to?"

Shang Xuechen felt that it was necessary to inform Qi Liang that he was going abroad, "Qi Liang, I'm going abroad. What about you? I told you before that I want you to start over. Are you going to go with me, or Leave?"

Qi Liang didn't expect Shang Xuechen to talk about this. Last time Shang Xuechen persuaded him to let go and start again, he kept thinking about it.Who doesn't want to live a breezy life.Staying with Shen Ao all the time, I feel that I am almost becoming like Shen Ao.Qi Liang glanced at Shang Xuechen.Especially for him, after seeing Shang Xuechen come out of that villa in pain, he felt lucky that he was as miserable as himself, but later Shang Xuechen came to him specially and persuaded him to start again, He hadn't been treated tenderly by others for a long time, and suddenly, he couldn't help but want to reflect on what he had become?so cruel?

Before Qi Liang could make up his mind, Gu Zuo said to him, "Didn't you say that you owed a debt to someone and paid it off? Why are you leaving now?"

"I don't know. But I have to go." Shang Xuechen lowered his head and smiled helplessly, turned around to find the bag next to him, and took out his bank card, "Actually, I'm running away this time. If you don't want to Come with me, this is the money I raised recently, and with the money I gave you last time, I should be able to pay back the debt. Don't worry, I will find someone to raise money before I leave to help you pay off the debt Qing, so that you can start a new life."

Shang Xuechen thought, before he left, he could ask Xu Xueshi for some money to help Qi Liang pay off his debts.In this way, Qi Liang can look forward again, just like Xiao Yuan.

Qi Liang took the card from Shang Xuechen's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.Obviously he was afraid that Shang Xuechen would abandon him and lie to him, but in the end he took it seriously.He was afraid that Shang Xuechen would stare at him and see the flaws in his face, so he hurriedly picked up a spoon to dig the cake in front of him.

"Why is it so painful?"

Shang Xuechen saw Qi Liang's face wrinkled, and quickly handed him water.Seeing that the corners of his mouth were dirty, he got up and went to the kitchen to find a tissue to wipe him.

"Isn't this chocolate cake? Bitter?"

Qi Liang nodded and shook his head again, he didn't know if it was because he was suffering in his heart that he tasted some bitterness.

Seeing his distressed expression, Shang Xuechen thought that the cake had been put in the refrigerator for too long and the taste had changed, so he took the cake and threw it into the trash can in the kitchen.When he went to the kitchen and opened the trash can, he saw the bottle of the perfume sample. He remembered that Zhou Yuan had sprayed the perfume in front of Shao Ling's room, and then it seemed that he wanted to throw the perfume into the trash can, but he didn't.Shang Xuechen looked down at a small bottle, so Zhou Yuan was spraying this?Why did you throw it away, but didn't throw it away? Why did you throw it into the kitchen trash can when you came back?

Shang Xuechen couldn't figure it out. He originally wanted to bend down to take a closer look at the small perfume bottle, but he forgot the cake in his hand, and the cake was thrown into the trash can, covering the small perfume bottle.It became like this, so I had no choice but to give up looking at the small perfume bottle.Turning around and going back to the living room, he casually took the paper towel he had just given to Qi Liang to wipe his hands, but when he turned around, he saw Qi Liang holding the paper towel in a daze.

"what happened?"

"Ushuaia."

"Ushuaia?" Shang Xuechen watched Qi Liang look down at the paper towel in his hand, and unfolded the crumpled paper towel in his hand. There was indeed Ushuaia printed on the corner of the paper towel. Shang Xuechen was surprised and turned his head to look at the trash can in the kitchen. That cake was bought in that cafe called Ushuaia?He remembered that the name of the bitter cake was Bitterness and Sweetness.

Why did Zhou Yuan go to that coffee shop to buy this cake?He remembered that there were Blue Mountain coffee beans in that coffee shop, and he remembered that the barista told himself at that time that the coffee beans were the owner's own hobby and would not be sold.What Zhou Yuan brewed for Ji Shuping was Blue Mountain Coffee?Is Zhou Yuan familiar with the owner of that coffee shop?

Shang Xuechen's stomach churned, and he didn't have time to go to the toilet, so he pulled the trash can in front of Qi Liang and vomited straight away.Qi Liang was frightened by Shang Xuechen's face, supported him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shang Xuechen wrinkled his face, unable to speak due to stomachache.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Liang became anxious, "Xuechen, I'll take you to the hospital."

When Ji Shuping drove to the community where Shang Xuechen lived, before the car stopped, he saw Shang Xuechen coming out of the corridor, clutching his stomach, as if feeling unwell.Ji Shuping was worried that Shang Xuechen had a stomach problem, and regardless of whether the car was parked in the parking space, he stepped on the brake and wanted to go straight down to help him.

But as soon as he stepped on the brake, he saw someone coming out of the corridor behind Shang Xuechen, it was Qi Liang.Sitting in the car, Ji Shuping watched Qi Liang help Shang Xuechen, who was hunched over from the stomach ache, into the car, watched Qi Liang's car start, drove up to his car and honked the horn, but he didn't move the car, and kept on He didn't move, and then Qi Liang's car made a detour and passed by his car.He remembered that Shang Xuechen had said that he would take Qi Liang with him when he came back this time.
