Death Progress Bar

"Xiao Jin."

"Xiao Jin, do you feel better physically?"

"Why did you get out of bed directly?"

"What? Little came in? Wait a minute, I'll wipe my face."

Following Shi Jin's greeting, all the people in the kitchen looked over, then put down their work and moved closer to Shi Jin.Rong Zhouzhong was so blinded by the onion that he could not keep his eyes open, so he frantically wiped his face with a tissue, trying to get rid of the sharp pain in his eyes quickly.

Shi Jin briefly responded to everyone's greetings, then passed Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing, walked to Rong Zhouzhong's side, raised his hand and pressed the back of his head, pulled his hands that were smearing on his face, and said: "Are you trying to cripple your eyes?"

"What... ah! What are you doing, little brat!"

Shi Jin suddenly splashed a handful of water on Rong Zhouzhong's face, causing him to yell in fright.

"Don't move." Shi Jin pressed Rong Zhouzhong's head that was about to be raised, took out a tissue, soaked it in water, rubbed his eyes carefully, then let go of his head, picked up soap and washed him carefully. After washing his hands, he took out a few paper towels and handed them to him, and said, "Wipe your face quickly, rub your eyes if you don't wash off the onion smell on your hands, and call you an idiot. It's a compliment to you. Okay, let's go, don't wash your eyes today." No more onions."

Rong Zhouzhong had already calmed down when Shi Jin rubbed his eyes for him, and now he looked at Shi Jin blankly with a face full of water and confetti, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Shi Jin Xiong in his arms, and rubbed him vigorously Grinding his teeth, he said, "Little bastard, you are so uncute! Damn guy, dare to touch my hair, which I have worked so hard to style. Do you know how important an actor's hair is!"

Shi Jin didn't expect him to attack suddenly, his hair was rubbed into a chicken coop before he reacted, and immediately restrained him with his backhand, reached out to rub his hair, and said angrily: "The guy who will revenge you, I will help you, but you still turn the other way." Blame it on me, forget about it being hot, it’s better for people like you to be blind!"

Rong Zhouzhong was no match for him, the modeling that he had painstakingly made was ruined in a short while, and he took his hand angrily, and said, "Let go, let go! It's collapsed, the shape is collapsed!"

Shi Jin didn't let him go until he kneaded him into a chicken coop, withdrew his hand in relief, and said, "It deserves it!" Then he turned around and stretched out his arms to hug Xiang Aoting who was standing aside.

Xiang Aoting was stunned, and everyone else was also stunned.

"Fourth brother, thank you for your birthday present, I like it very much." Shi Jin patted Ao Ting on the back and thanked him with a smile.

Xiang Aoting came back to his senses, hurriedly hugged him back, patted his back, and said: "It's good if you like it, if the fever subsides, will it be uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, the fever has subsided." Shi Jin replied, stepped back a little and released him, and looked at Shi Weichong who was standing aside.

Shi Wei Chongzheng looked at him quietly, and when he saw him looking over, he instinctively avoided his sight, then quickly adjusted, smiled at him, and greeted him warmly: "Xiao Jin, long time no see."

It's not just long time no see... Some emotions in my heart were about to rush out, Shi Jin pinched his palm, and also stepped forward to hug Shi Weichong, then quickly let go of his hand before the emotions flooded, returned him with a smile, and said, "I love Jiang It’s not annoying, brother, don’t worry too much.”

When Shi Weichong was about to hug him back, he had just raised his hand, and there was nowhere to put it.His eyes were gloomy for a moment, and then he quickly covered it up. Instead, he helped Shi Jin straighten his clothes, and said, "I see."

Shi Jin smiled at him again, then turned to Fei Yujing.

Fei Yujing stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you want to hug? I don't hate this kind of drama where brothers are happy to meet again."

Happy to meet again!

Shi Jin gave him a disgusted look, then stretched out his arms to hug him, pushed him away after a pause of two seconds, and said, "Second brother, you looked really ugly when you washed the vegetables just now."

After Fei Yujing was disgusted, he laughed instead, withdrew his hand and said, "I think I look much better at washing vegetables than the third and fourth."

"Hi!" Rong Zhouzhong protested.

Xiang Aoting also made a rare excuse for himself: "I am definitely more proficient in washing vegetables than my second brother."

Shi Jin watched them talking with a smile, shook hands calmly, and finally looked at Li Jiuzheng who was always standing in front of the chopping board, not taking a step closer.

Li Jiuzheng was looking at this side. Seeing Shijin look over, he immediately lowered his head, raised his hand sideways and pulled the sweater, as if trying to block the blood on it.

"Xiao Jin." Xiang Ao Ting called Shi Jin in a low voice.

"It's okay." Shi Jin smiled at him reassuringly, then walked to Li Jiuzheng's side and called out, "Fifth Brother."

Li Jiuzheng froze and looked sideways at him.

Shi Jin smiled at him, stretched out his arms to hug him, patted his back lightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if the clothes are dirty, just change to clean ones. It doesn't matter if the hands are dirty, just wash them." , you can...so can I."

So it's not a big deal, and hugging isn't much harder than a sword, he can do it.

"Xiao Jin..." Li Jiuzheng's voice trembled a little, he wanted to hug Shi Jin back, raised his hand, remembered that there was blood on his hand, then slowly put his hand down, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, covering the red eye sockets, and said , "I'm sorry...will stain your clothes..."

"It's okay, I'll just go and change into a clean one." Shi Jin let go of him, smiled at him again, then glanced at the crowd, and said with a smile, "You guys go ahead, I'll take a shower and change. Bring the clothes again, I’ve slept for too long, I’m all rotten.” After speaking, ignoring everyone’s reactions, he walked to the kitchen door and held Lian Jun’s hand again.

Lianjun immediately held him back, took a step forward to block his figure, nodded towards the Shi family brothers, and led him away.

……

The chaotic and bad mood didn't fade a little until the hot water poured on her body.Shi Jin looked at Lian Jun who was helping him take a bath, stretched out his arms to hug him, and rubbed him affectionately.

Lian Jun pressed his back and asked, "Have you warmed up?"

"Well, thanks to baby." Shi Jin said sweetly, and kissed his neck sideways.

Lian Jun let him kiss, and continued to gently stroke his hair and back.

It took a full hour to finish the bath, Shi Jin came out of the bathroom refreshed, took out a robe from Lian Jun and put it on, and smelled the scent of Jun Lian on the robe with satisfaction, Then he poked Xiao Shi in his head, and said, "Is there a Great Compassion Mantra in this world? If there is one, let me play it in a loop in my head. If there is no Great Compassion Mantra, play nursery rhymes. The dumber the better, keep playing it, don't stop."

Xiao Si was almost frightened to death by this request, he stammered and said, "Jin, Jin, what's wrong with you? Don't be crazy, I'm afraid..."

"With Mr. Lian around, how could I go crazy, let it go, you don't want me to have any psychological problems after eating today." Shi Jin comforted him, just about to close the closet, when he thought of something, he opened the closet again , took out his dark blue sweater from inside.

Lian Jun stayed by his side all the time, his eyes moved when he saw this, and he stroked his hair.

Shi Jin looked back at him, said with a smile, "After the reunion dinner is over, I'll tell you a story."

Lian Jun touched the corner of his upturned mouth, leaned over and kissed him: "Okay."

……

When Shi Jin returned to the kitchen, the fire had already started to cook. Xiang Ao Ting was in charge of cooking, Shi Weichong started, Fei Yujing and Rong Zhouzhong were in charge of serving dishes and clearing away the dishes. Li Jiuzheng was guarding a pot of soup and watching When it was hot, the sweater on his body was gone, and he was only wearing a shirt.

pat.

Rong Zhouzhong dropped the third plate, Fei Yujing closed his eyes patiently, and said, "Third brother, you..."

"Shut up! I was not careful." Rong Zhouzhong interrupted him angrily.

Fei Yujing let out a foul breath from the side of his head, pulled away his hand that was about to pick up the fragments, and said, "I can't believe that you and I have inherited genes from the same father, you..."

"I can't believe it either." Shi Jin answered, stepped into the kitchen, took a look at the deep-fried dim sum and spring rolls on the table, praised the presentation, then walked behind Li Jiuzheng, reached out and patted him .

Li Jiuzheng immediately turned his head to look at him, his eyes opened a little wide, and his eyes slowly fell on the robe on his body.

"Here." Shi Jin handed over the sweater in his hand and said, "The heating in the clubhouse is not turned on too high, and it will be cold if you only wear a shirt. This is my sweater, you can just wear it."

Li Jiuzheng shifted his gaze to the sweater again, his eyes widened, and he reached out to take the sweater after a while, held it tightly, and said, "Thank you...Xiao Jin."

"It's okay." Shi Jin's mind was filled with the melody of nursery rhymes, he just felt that he was the teacher in that kindergarten, facing a group of disobedient and making mistakes, his whole body was full of kindness, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

wow.

Suddenly there was movement from Rong Zhouzhong, Shi Jin turned his head to look over, and saw that the thin knitted coat on Rong Zhouzhong was full of water stains, holding a water glass in his hand, and pretending to say: "Oh, I was not careful. I poured water on my body, Xiao Jin, my clothes are wet, please lend me some clothes."

Everyone: "..."

Li Jiuzheng's expression sank, and he put Shi Jin's dark blue sweater on himself in twos and twos, then bent down and pulled out his sweater from the corner. An orange sweater, walked quickly to Rong Zhouzhong, slapped the sweater on his face, and said, "Put it on, I will lend you my clothes."

Rong Zhouzhong was taken aback for a moment, and then exploded immediately. He quickly blocked his hand and said, "Whoever wants to wear your fishy-smelling garbage, take it away! Take it away!"

"Put it on for me, put it on quickly." Li Jiuzheng refused to give in at all, pressed his shoulder and insisted on changing it for him.

The two retreated one by one, and accidentally bumped into Xiang Aoting who was cooking. Xiang Aoting's hand that was putting salt was knocked crooked, and a lot of salt crashed into the pot, and the fried vegetables were basically useless.

With veins popping up on Xiang Ao Ting's forehead, he couldn't bear to put down the spatulas, turned around and grabbed one of them, dragged them quickly to the kitchen door, and threw them out with a shake of his hand.

"Don't enter the kitchen until you calm down!"

boom!

Xiang Aoting closed the kitchen door, turned around and glanced at the people who were still in the kitchen.

"It's time to do this." Fei Yujing lowered his head and continued to clean up the dishes.

Shi Weichong kindly pulled a fig leaf for Rong Zhouzhong: "The third child has never done housework, so I can understand if he can't do it well when he is in a hurry."

Shi Jin looked at Xiang Ao Ting's rare temper tantrum, and a child's voice version of "Shoulder when you see injustice" just rang in his head. He couldn't help laughing, rolled up his sleeves and said, "I made a few dishes. I'm here to help, Mr. Lian may not be used to the dishes you cook, so he wants to avoid eating them."

All the brothers: "..." Ah, this sudden feeling of heartbreak.

Outside.

Rong Zhouzhong and Li Jiuzheng stood side by side, staring at Lianjun.

"Talk?" Lian Jun tilted his head to indicate the direction of the living room.

Rong Zhouzhong shook the water droplets on his clothes, glanced at Li Jiuzheng who calmed down quickly after being thrown out, and replied, "Let's talk, but I have to change my clothes first."

Li Jiuzheng came back to life suddenly, and put the "rag" in his hand on Rong Zhouzhong.

Rong Zhouzhong raised his eyebrows, and pressed his neck with his backhand, intending to beat him up.

Lian Jun: "..."

……

After a whole afternoon of tossing around, when it was dark, a reunion dinner was finally served, with Xiang Aoting in charge, Shi Weichong helping, and Shi Jin supplementing.A total of [-] dishes, including fish, meat, soup, and snacks, looked quite similar.

Everyone sat at the dining table, Lian Jun and Shi Jin stuck together, Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing sat together, and Xiang Aoting sat beside Rong Zhouzhong and Li Jiuzheng. The scene seemed harmonious.

"Everyone should have a safe and healthy new year." Shi Jin got up and poured a glass of wine for the brothers of the Shi family and himself, and poured a cup of hot soybean milk for Lian Jun alone, then raised his glass and said, "In advance Happy New Years everyone, cheers."

The brothers of the Shi family all looked at the wine glass in front of them, a little stunned—it seemed like it was the first time that Shi Jin entertained them like an adult like this, and it was a very novel experience.

Fei Yujing was the first to regain his senses and stood up, picked up the wine, lightly touched the cup that Shi Jin was holding, and said, "Cheers, happy new year."

Shi Jin smiled.

Rong Zhouzhong was the second to stand up, followed by Xiang Aoting and Shi Weichong, and finally, Li Jiuzheng also stood up.

Everyone's glasses touched each other, the wine swayed, and the aroma of the food wafted. It really felt like a family reunion and warmth for the New Year.

Shi Jin took back the wine glass, and touched Lian Jun's glass by himself, then raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp, happily said: "I want to have today every year, and today every year!"

Every year has today, every year has today, what a beautiful sentence.

The brothers of the Shi family looked at him, drank the wine one after another, with mixed feelings in their hearts - if there was no progress and retreat of the times, how could they have ushered in this dreamlike "today".

"What an idiot." Rong Zhouzhong muttered suddenly, turning his head and rubbing his eyes vigorously.

Shi Jin was pissed off by the wine, didn't notice Rong Zhouzhong's muttering, sat down after he recovered from the alcohol, picked up his chopsticks and greeted everyone with a smile: "Let's all start, let's try Fourth Brother's handicraft today. "

After hearing the words, everyone took their seats and picked up their chopsticks, and began to eat. For a while, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing could be heard in the restaurant, and the atmosphere became a little deserted and strange.

For the Shi family, the meaning of this reunion dinner is not simple and easy, everyone is unconsciously caught in their own thoughts.

Seeing this, Shi Jin wanted to say something to cheer up the atmosphere, but Lian Jun held his hand.

"Don't force yourself." Lian Jun approached him and whispered something in his ear, then looked at Shi Weichong, and took the initiative to bring up the topic and said, "Gua Ba sent me a message, saying that the business of Mie and Ruixing is well integrated. He sent me a new plan, have you received it?"

Shi Weichong didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk to him, he was stunned for a moment before he realized it, he quickly suppressed the emotions aroused by the reunion dinner in his heart, and said: "No, I haven't checked the mailbox for the past two days, I will check it later. "

Lian Jun nodded, then looked at Fei Yujing and said, "Is Lawyer Fei busy recently? My business integration with Ruixing involves some overseas business, which is related to new energy. I heard that you have done a business before. Regarding the energy case, if you are not busy, I would like to ask you to come and help."

Fei Yujing replied: "Yes, but I have to wait for the next year. I will be busy at the end of the year to summarize and organize the year."

"Then we'll contact you next year." Lian Jun directly finalized the matter.

Shi Weichong was a little surprised, and asked: "The energy part outside the country? Is it the content of the new plan?"

Lian Jun replied: "Yes, this part is more important, and it may take a while for you two to work. Does Lawyer Fei need to look at the plan first?"

"Yes, the sooner the preparations are done, the better." Fei Yujing answered.

The three of them chatted about new energy very naturally, and instantly changed the unnatural atmosphere at the dinner table where no one was talking. stand up.

——His baby is indeed the most reliable, considerate and gentle!

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, shook Lianjun's hand with his backhand, got up and moved all the dishes he had made to Lianjun, and happily served him.

Rong Zhouzhong felt a toothache from watching it, and remembered the scene when he was on the island and watched Lian Jun and Shi Jin eating together, and couldn't help but angrily said: "You little bastard whose eyes are blinded by beauty!"

Shi Jin's ears moved, a sharp eye flew over, and he said fiercely: "Guys who don't help at all have no right to talk, eat your onions!"

"You!" Rong Zhouzhong was angry, but he had no words to refute. Angrily, he picked up a fried sesame ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed hard as if to vent his anger.

Shi Jin let out a triumphant cold snort, and looked at Xiang Aoting who was next to Rong Zhouzhong, and showed him the chicken wings he made, and said, "Fourth brother also try my cooking, I remember you like it." Eat chicken wings."

Xiang Aoting said hello, grabbed a chicken wing and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Jin to remember what I like to eat."

It's not just you, the original owner has written down all the dishes you all like to eat.

The scenes of some families getting together to celebrate the New Year with false happy smiles came to mind, Shi Jin clenched his palms tightly, looked sideways at Lian Jun's face, washed his eyes and brain, and then regained his composure. Looking at the always quiet Li Jiuzheng, he put a stack of glutinous rice snacks in front of him.

Li Jiuzheng looked up at him.

"You seem to like to eat this... but glutinous rice can't be digested if you eat too much, just try two." Shi Jin instructed.

Li Jiuzheng's lips moved, and a determined expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "Xiaojin, I think..."

Swish.

Rong Zhouzhong suddenly walked around Xiang Aoting, and poked a stick of glutinous rice snacks on the plate in front of Li Jiuzheng with his chopsticks.

Li Jiuzheng shut up, glanced at the punctured glutinous rice snacks on the plate, his expression tensed, he turned his head to cast a gloomy glance at Rong Zhouzhong, picked up the vinegar plate with his backhand, and poured it all into Rong Zhouzhong's bowl .

Caught between the two, Xiang Aoting's forehead swelled with veins, raised his hands to press the shoulders of the two, and warned in a low voice: "If you make trouble again, I'll throw you all out, eat well!"

Rong Zhouzhong snorted coldly, took back the chopsticks, and took back the glutinous rice snack poked on the chopsticks by the way, stuffed the snack into his mouth with a groan, and looked at Li Jiuzheng provocatively while chewing hard.

With a murderous look on his face, Li Jiuzheng suddenly picked up the wine glass and said, "Bibi?"

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?" Rong Zhouzhong responded vaguely with a mouthful.

Xiang Aoting couldn't take it anymore, so he simply ignored them, picked up his tableware and moved it to sit next to Shi Jin, and let them toss about.

Shi Jin was delighted to see it, turned to Ao Ting, and said: "You are more like an older brother than Third Brother, he is too childish."

Xiang Ao Ting looked at him sideways, and replied: "No." No one in the room looks like an elder brother, and everyone is taken care of by the youngest younger brother, so they can't be called elder brothers.

The atmosphere at the table slowly became lively, Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing chatted with Lian Jun about business matters, Li Jiuzheng and Rong Zhouzhong inexplicably put together wine, boasting to Ao Ting and Shi Jin about each other's work Some people are laughing and some are making noise, and everyone is relaxed.

During the conversation, Lian Jun ate the food that Shi Jin had brought over, glanced sideways at Shi Jin, excitedly chatting with Xiang Ao Ting about the ingredients, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he turned his gaze back to Shi Weichong and Fei Yu Jing, ready to continue the previous topic, but the two of them stopped talking at some point, and they were looking at Shi Jin just like him.

A few seconds later, Shi Weichong and Fei Yujing looked away.

The three looked at each other, and then tacitly continued the previous topic.

Needless to say, everyone understands some things. The reason why everyone gathered here today is just to make one person happy.

Rong Zhouzhong, who was half drunk, also saw Shi Jin pulling and talking to Ao Ting, and gave a "tsk" with jealousy and disgust, looked at Li Jiuzheng who was unconsciously looking at Shi Jin, and reached out to knock him With a shake of his head, he poured him a glass of wine and said, "Don't always act like you're going to die. Today is a reunion dinner. Do you know the meaning of reunion dinner, silly boy?"

Li Jiuzheng pressed his head, remembering that Shi Jin had knocked him like this before, and said with lowered eyes, "I don't know... Third brother, I don't know what to do. No one taught me."

"If you don't know, just study hard." Rong Zhouzhong smacked his head a few more times to vent his anger, and said, "I don't know who you look like with your elm head, and you don't know how to adapt at all... just study hard. , while Xiaojin is still willing to give everyone a chance, it’s not okay for an older brother to be weaker than a younger brother, but when you are suffering, Xiaojin will definitely suffer more than you.”

Li Jiuzheng tightened his palms, suddenly picked up the wine bottle, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Rong Zhouzhong was so frightened that he dropped his chopsticks, he quickly reached out to snatch the wine bottle in his hand, and said angrily, "That's baijiu! I really told the truth to pigs... Put it down! Put down the wine bottle!"
