Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen doesn't know how to cook, so he heated up the instant rice and looked in the refrigerator. There were only eggs, and he broke the eggs in the pot and fried them casually, and he was done.

Ji Shuping took the rice delivered through the small opening under the door, frowning, the eggs were all fried.But he was hungry and could only eat.Pick up an egg with chopsticks, swallow it, there is still eggshell inside, "It's not good, no salt."

Shang Xuechen sat down on the ground at the door, "If there is something to eat, you can eat it, and pick and choose."

Ji Shuping pushed out the fried egg, "I don't want to eat this."

Shang Xuechen had no choice but to go into the kitchen and open the refrigerator, and he scrambled the last eggs.I had no choice but to go downstairs and take Ji Shuping's white rice, mix it casually and send it back to him, "Eat it. This is delicious."

Ji Shuping took over the greasy meal that night, remembering that his father also cooked lard bibimbap for himself, but why, why did he join forces with outsiders to kidnap him?

"Why did you tie me up?" Ji Shuping asked the people outside the door, it would be fine if the people outside the door answered that he was purely for money.

Why?Shang Xuechen didn't understand why, obviously he saw his father begging his uncle to let him wash his hands and quit.In fact, he is happy, his father quit his job, he can become a child of an ordinary family, and he will have playmates.

Shang Xuechen turned his head and looked at the door. He didn't know who the person who was tied up was, but he knew that it must be someone with a high status.The Shang family should not have used such desperation methods to achieve their current status.Shang Xuechen sighed, tied up someone with a different status, his father would not be able to get away so easily, and the Shang family could not get out of the body.

"You ask me, how do I know, I didn't tie you here. I'm just responsible for delivering food to you."

I do not know.Such an answer is also good.Ji Shuping was afraid that he would know the truth that he could not bear.

"Will I die?" Ji Shuping was a little curious, his father sent him here, and he wasn't sure that his father would let him survive.

Will he die?Shang Xuechen wasn't sure, probably not.His father wanted to quit, so how could he risk his life before quitting?Uncle probably won't let Dad take the blame.Shang Xuechen stared at the door in front of him, remembering that he had overheard his uncle telling his father that he would let them go as soon as the last order was finished.Shang Xuechen touched the door, and the person inside was his father's last order.

"Probably not." It was as if he was comforting the people inside, as well as himself.

Shang Xuechen cooked meals for the people locked in the small room in the basement for two days in a row, and the eggs that would be scrambled at first gradually became so scrambled.When I am happy, I will add some vegetarian dishes in it, and stir fry together.But when the food was brought in, Ji Shuping would still comment on whether it was salty or bland.

As soon as Ji Shuping told him this, Shang Xuechen would pretend not to care and leave a sentence, like to eat or not.But until the next meal, I began to weigh the salt carefully.

In fact, Ji Shuping doesn't have that many requirements for food, he just wants someone to talk to with him.Otherwise, it would be too boring to stay alone, after all, there is nothing in this room, and sometimes he feels like he is about to get moldy.Every day when he wakes up, he sits on the ground behind the door, waiting for Shang Xuechen to deliver the food, so that he can chat with him for a while to relieve boredom.

When Shang Xuechen came to deliver the meal that day, Ji Shuping held the meal in his hand and leaned against the door behind, asking the people outside, "What are you doing?"

Shang Xuechen was sitting on the ground outside the door waiting for Ji Shuping to finish his meal so he could clean up the dishes and urged him, "What do you care about me, eat quickly!"

Ji Shuping looked down at the rice in his hand and smiled. He eats very slowly every time. One is that the food in his hand makes him lose his appetite, and the other is that he wants the people outside the door to stay longer and stay alone. It was too quiet for him.

"It's too uncomfortable for me to be alone, can you talk to me?"

This is a hostage, Shang Xuechen didn't dare to chat with him too much, who knows if he wanted to get a cliché from him, "You think I'm here to relieve your boredom? Have you ever seen a company that kidnaps people and brings funny hostages."

"It's been a long time since I've had a good conversation with anyone. I'm lonely."

Shang Xuechen thought about it, and he seemed to be the same way. No one had had a good conversation with him for a long time.When Jia Jia and Qi Liang were talking to him, he always felt his ears ringing while watching them quarreling.He took out the marbles and flicked them in through the small opening of the meal delivery.

Ji Shuping heard the sound of rolling, looked down and saw the marbles rolling at his feet, the person behind the door asked him, "Can you play marbles?"

He picked up the marbles, facing the dim light in the room, thinking what a coincidence, it was marbles again, "I don't know how to play."

After finally finding someone who can talk, but who can't play marbles, Shang Xuechen thought that he might not find a suitable playmate in his life.But I am also quite ridiculous, actually looking for a hostage to play with me.

"Hey, can you give me another marble?"

"You don't even know how to play, why do you want more?"

"Because I like things that come in pairs."

Shang Xuechen felt that this person might not be very clear-headed, so he grabbed a handful of marbles from his trouser pocket and threw them in, "Here you are. These are enough for you to play in alone."

Ji Shuping used his hands to gather all the marbles rolling around on the ground together. They were colorful, and suddenly he thought of his childhood, "Have you ever seen a rainbow?"

Why are you talking about rainbows again?Shang Xuechen didn't want to talk too much with him, "Eat your food quickly, so I can pack up and leave quickly. Who would like to sit here with you all day long?"

Ji Shuping thought, it's really hard to find someone who is willing to talk to him, not even the kidnappers.He took off the tie pin on the collar and handed it out, "I'll give you this tie pin, you can talk to me for a while."

Shang Xuechen wasn't very interested in this kind of trinkets, so he didn't reach out to pick them up.Seeing that the people outside didn't respond, Ji Shuping added another word, "This one is very expensive."

Shang Xuechen didn't accept the tie pin because it was expensive, but he just had an excuse to sit down and chat, so he took it and pinned the tie pin to his chest, "Since it's so expensive, I'll chat with you A ten-dollar one."

Seeing that he agreed, Ji Shuping asked him persistently, "Have you ever seen a rainbow?"

Shang Xuechen felt that this person was really weird, so he replied reluctantly, "No."

"I've seen it." Ji Shuping squeezed the marble in his hand and lifted it up to look, "I've seen it in a marble before, and it just happened to see a rainbow. Actually, it's not a rainbow, it's a person's eyes."

It turned out to be showing off to me.Shang Xuechen was impatient to hear such hypocritical things, "Why are you telling me this?"

Ji Shuping put down the marbles in his hand, yes, why should I tell him this?After much deliberation, I came up with an answer, and told the person outside the door, "Maybe I don't think I can get out."

Shang Xuechen didn't know how to answer this, he was not sure, did Dad think that his uncle would use him as a shield?

"Little minister, come up!"

Shang Xuechen was distracted when he heard his father calling himself, "Put the bowl out after you finish eating, I'll collect it later." After saying that, Shang Xuechen hurried upstairs.

Dad was sitting in the living room, and his uncle seemed to be sleeping in the room. Dad waved to him and let him sit down opposite him.

"Xiaochen, I arranged for someone to take you away."

Take me away?Shang Xuechen thought to himself, is he going to abandon him again?

"Dad, the person downstairs is your last order, right? I know you negotiated the terms with uncle, and you want to take uncle away from right and wrong to keep healthy. You arranged for me to go first, are you going to put me aside? "

"You know?" Shang Xuechen nodded, and he heard his father lower his voice, "Dad is not trying to abandon you. It is not so easy to withdraw from the road. This last order is not so easy for us to get out. You and I Uncle has discussed it and sent you away first, leaving you the way to survive! As for me and him, no matter whether we can go or not, we should die together."

It turned out that Dad knew that he couldn't get away easily. "Then I won't go either, I'll be with you!"

"Be obedient! If your uncle and I are okay, we will pick you up and live together. You can hide outside and wait."

Shang Xuechen lowered his head, why did he abandon himself with such a good reason?It's boring to live alone.

"But I don't want to be alone."

"You are not alone, I am looking for you..."

There was a howl of pain in the room, as if my uncle had fallen ill.He urged his father to go and have a look, and sat on the sofa in the living room to calm down.Dad left in a hurry, leaving his cell phone on the coffee table.Shang Xuechen saw the phone on the coffee table light up, as if a text message had come.He reached out to pick up the mobile phone that had been forgotten on the coffee table, and he could see the content of the text message on the screen without opening it.

I can't take him away.My plane is going to America this afternoon, and I won't be coming back.

Shang Xuechen put down his phone, and found out who the person he was looking for to take him away in what his father didn't finish talking just now. Just know.Dad wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately he didn't find someone to take over. Now he is really no one wants him.

He put the phone back where it was and sat on the sofa for a while.Hearing the sound of locking the door behind him, Dad sat back across from him, and wanted to finish what he had just said, but Shang Xuechen rushed ahead of him and said, "It seems that the phone has sent a text message just now."

Shang Xuechen saw his father frowning as he looked at the phone, and lowered his head, feeling like he couldn't clear out the leftovers.He remembered that there was another person in the basement, so he asked, "Will the person below die?"

He didn't wait for an answer. He looked up and saw the hesitant look of the person opposite, "Uncle probably wouldn't like you to kill people. He said he hates you. If you do things that annoy him again, the relationship between you may really be irreparable." gone."

After Shang Xuechen finished speaking, he returned to his room, sat at the desk, his mind was full of the content of the text message just now, the plane left for the United States this afternoon, and he will not come back in the future.

I will not come back in the future.

Shang Xuechen looked up at the alarm clock on the desk, as if it was still too late to rush to the airport, so should he go?

I will not come back in the future.

That's right, that person won't come back anymore, so I secretly took a look, not to see him off, but I can't remember what that person looked like, just went to take a sneak peek from a distance.

Shang Xuechen got up with a "chuckle", took the chair upside down, and left the house directly, took a taxi and went straight to the airport.

When he arrived at the airport, he was not sure when the person who was going to leave would arrive, so he could only wait at the parking spot at the door.Although it was silly to wait, he thought it was because that person would never come back.He almost forgot the man's appearance, so he took one last look to remember.

Shang Xuechen leaned on the pillar and looked at all the people who got off the parked vehicles, not daring to distract himself for fear of missing them.After looking at the car for two hours at the door, he finally saw a woman in red high heels when a black Rolls Royce stopped.

There are luxury cars, there are bodyguards, and the luggage is a luxury brand.Shang Xuechen hid behind the pillar and watched the entourage remove the suitcases from the car one by one, it seemed that they were doing well.

He hid behind the pillar and looked down at the pair of red high heels walking towards the airport hall step by step. He didn't dare to look up, wondering if he would be recognized, but he still liked wearing red high heels as he remembered when he was a child.

The pair of red high heels stopped in front of the automatic gate of the airport, as if on purpose.Shang Xuechen raised his head and met his gaze. It turned out that he had stopped when he saw him. He was a little surprised. Maybe he hadn't been forgotten. He was just about to smile and say hello. He could pretend to be a neighbor, or It's a friend's nephew, any excuse is fine, I just want to say hello at the end.

Just as Shang Xuechen was about to step forward, the accompanying bodyguards pushed the suitcase up and glared at him with the same pair of eyes, which obviously meant to tell him not to come over.Shang Xuechen was stunned, understood the hint in his eyes, and immediately walked around and hid himself behind the pillar, for fear of being seen by others, seeing his stupidity of impulsively going up just now.

He counted in his heart, thinking that they should all go in.Coming out from behind the pillar, he hesitated to walk towards the entrance of the hall. He stuck to the glass wall next to the automatic door, and he could still see the pair of red high-heeled shoes just now. He still walked briskly among a group of bodyguards.Shang Xuechen pasted the glass wall and squeezed his nose out of shape. Maybe, maybe just for a moment, that person would stop and look at him.

But no, the pair of red high heels he was staring at never stopped.Shang Xuechen leaned against the glass wall until he could no longer see the pair of shoes, and only when the glass was covered with fog, blurring his eyes, did he back away and turn around to prepare to go home.He reached out to stop the taxi, and he sat in the car with the window close, staring at the automatic glass door of the airport lobby.

I just wanted to say good luck to you.

"Where are you going?" the driver turned around and asked him.

Where can he go?Shang Xuechen didn't know, so he asked the driver instead, "Where do people usually go when they get out of the airport?"

"Either on a business trip or home."

go home.Shang Xuechen looked up and reported the address, "Go to No. 23, Old Street."

That might not count as a home, it was his residence.In the basement at the bottom of the residence, there is a person who can't go home, who seems to be similar to himself.

When Ji Shuping finished his meal, he didn't wait for the person who delivered his meal to come back, and no one talked to him. The damp basement seemed to make his heart wet.He heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs, hurriedly sent out the bowl in his hand, knocked on the door to attract attention, "I'm done."

No one answered, Ji Shuping was about to stick to the door to listen to the movement outside, when he heard the sound of the door lock opening.This made him panic. He always felt that this was not a sign that he was going to let him go. If he didn't let him go, he was here to interrogate himself or ask for his life.

Listening to the sound of the door lock turning, Ji Shuping sat on the ground and moved back. The door was opened, and the light coming in pierced his eyes, making him unable to adapt for a while, and turned his head to avoid it.After a while, I squinted to look at the person standing at the door against the light.

"Father?" Ji Shuping's voice was a little surprised, did he come to take him away?He struggled to sit up from the ground, but his father walked up to him, knelt down and stretched out his hands to press his shoulders, as if to tell him not to worry.Ji Shuping understood it, and obediently sat on the ground without moving, waiting for his father to speak.

"Shuping, wait a moment, I will call your mother. You pretend to be pitiful, so as to soften her heart."

Pretending to be pitiful?How can I pretend to be pitiful? Is my current appearance not pitiful enough?Ji Shuping nodded expressionlessly, and a dial sounded in the dark basement.

"Hey."

"it's me."

Ji Shuping heard two short conversations between the person in front of him and the phone, and then handed the phone to him hands-free.His throat twitched twice, and he didn't know how to speak unnaturally.The person holding the phone pushed him twice, and he finally opened his mouth, "Mom."

It's just that he called out, but there was no answer from the other end of the phone.The phone was taken back, and he heard his father's threatening tone, "Now you believe it. As long as you return the actual control of the company to me, Shuping can go back safely."

"You are his father, can you do something like kidnap and murder your own son?"

"You are his mother, can you stand by and watch your own son?"

Ji Shuping lowered his head, and there was a moment of silence in the basement, which frightened him, and he became a bargaining chip.

"Then let's both try." The person on the other end of the phone replied.

Ji Shuping heard it, he is now a useless bargaining chip.The person holding the phone seemed unwilling, and handed the phone to his mouth again, "I beg her to save you!"

Ji Shuping lowered his head and didn't want to speak, and then there were bursts of pain in his calf bone, because he was stepped on hard, he couldn't open his mouth, but his voice didn't sound like he had any desire to survive, and he said flatly, "Mom, help me." Then the other end of the phone hung up, and an urgent "beep beep" sounded from the basement.

The phone was hung up, which made Ji Shuping heave a sigh of relief.The door was closed again, and he was alone in the room again.He leaned back against the locked door, thinking that his life seemed to be over.

After an unknown amount of time, there was another sound of descending the stairs. He closed his eyes and thought, who will use himself as a bargaining chip to negotiate with others this time?

"Have you finished eating?"

When Ji Shuping opened his eyes, he suddenly felt more relaxed than ever. Fortunately, he was the one who came.

"Why have you been there for so long? Didn't you take my tie pin and talk to me?"

"I'm going..." Shang Xuechen didn't know what to say when he was squatting at the door, sighed and sat down on the ground by the door.

Ji Shuping heard the sigh from the outsider and asked him, "Why are you unhappy?"

Shang Xuechen raised his head, hesitating whether to talk to the people inside, but after thinking for a long time, he still held back, "It's nothing."

Ji Shuping leaned against the door and smiled, "You have nothing, but I have nothing."

"what happened to you?"

"I feel like I'm dying."

Shang Xuechen turned around in shock, and all he saw was the door. He didn't hear from his father that he was going to get rid of this person. Didn't his father want to leave? He probably wouldn't kill him, "No. It won't be so easy died."

"Actually, I am almost dead now. I was abandoned by people, abandoned by my mother."

Shang Xuechen leaned against the door and smiled, "What a coincidence, me too."
