Chapter 154 Doomsday
On the day Ji Huaisi was discharged from the hospital, Chuanlin that had snow for the entire week had a rare break in the sky.
Before leaving the house, Shao Hang was obstructing him as he did last time. He sensed Jian Chi’s next whereabouts as if he had a mind-reading technique. He was full of displeasure, “Are you going to find him again?”
It sounded like he was doing something that can’t be seen. Jian Chi corrected: “Ji Huaisi is discharged from the hospital today.”
“Why should you pick him up when he is well?”
Jian Chi laughed at Shao Hang’s logic, “Then why did you come to pick me up on the day I was discharged from the hospital?”
Shao Hang said with a snort, “It’s not the same.”
As for the difference, Shao Hang refused to say.
“I’m leaving, and I’m going to be late like last time.” Before putting on his coat, Jian Chi took a special look to make sure that it was his own clothes.
He didn’t know which word touched Shao Hang’s hidden pain point, and a sinister voice sounded from behind: “If it’s later, will I disturb you guys getting close?”
Before Jian Chi could answer, Shao Hang suddenly hugged him from the back and bit his neck. Jian Chi couldn’t tell which one came up first, the pain or the numbness. Jian Chi stepped forward to break away from his arms, touched the back of his neck with the teeth marks and looked back at Shao Hang’s smiling face, and asked angrily, “How can I go out like this?”
The uneven touch told Jian Chi that there must be an obvious mark there.
Shao Hang, who had achieved his goal, began to pretend not to understand, “Just go out like this.” He touched the back of Jian Chi’s covered neck and rubbed it, “The hair blocks it, and no one will see unless someone does something like me just now.”
He was just missing naming names.
What Jian Chi wanted to say choked on his lips. Thinking of the last withdrawn text message that he still didn’t know what it was, Shao Hang seemed to know everything, but he was unexpectedly tight-lipped on this kind of thing.
Jian Chi had to ask, “Are you acting in a fit?”
Shao Hang said, “Did I?”
“I didn’t hear the call when you called me that day, and then…”
Shao Hang pressed his fingers against Jian Chi’s lips, the smile in his eyes sank, and an indescribable meaning emerged: “If Ji Huaisi didn’t save you being injured, I wouldn’t let you go to see him. This hypocrite finally reluctantly did something not annoying. But if I loathe him, I loathe him, it’s still annoying. If you mention him in front of me again…”
“What are you going to do?”
Shao Hang said in a low voice, “One more bite.”
Jian Chi felt that it was not worth it to ask Shao Hang seriously right now. It was no surprise that he once again was late to the agreed time with Ji Huaisi. Jian Chi rushed to the hospital without caring about the mark on the back of his neck. The bed was covered with brand-new bedding, and the whole room was clean.
Suddenly there was a warm laugh in his ear.
“Turn back.”
The dangling heart fell steadily, and Ji Huaisi, who had changed out of his hospital clothes and stood in front of him unharmed, made Jian Chi feel uncomfortable and embarrassed at first glance. He clearly agreed to pick up Ji Huaisi, but he made the other party wait for so long, “There was a delay before going out, let’s go.”
Ji Huaisi didn’t ask, it seemed that no matter how much he explained, he could understand it with a smile, “Okay.”
When he lowered his head to fasten the seat belt, Jian Chi’s neck suddenly became cold, the end of his hair was pushed away by Ji Huaisi, and the warm finger pressed the uneven tooth marks, causing goosebumps all over his body. A second before Jian Chi dodged, Ji Huaisi took back his hand, “Did he do it?”
It was as plain as asking, ‘Where should we go to eat later’. Jian Chi glanced at Ji Huaisi’s expression, “Is it obvious?”
“I noticed when I first saw you, you turned your back to me,” Ji Huaisi said, “This position is not a good choice.”
“What…”
Ji Huaisi’s words covered his lips with a kiss of fragrance, and the rest of the unspoken words were grounded into the stirring lips and tongue, and he didn’t know where they were scattered.
Looking at Ji Huaisi’s slightly red and swollen lips when they parted, Jian Chi could imagine what he looked like at the moment. He calmed down his disturbed breath, and reminded in a low voice, “This is in the car.”
“En,” Ji Huaisi smiled, looking at him, “this position is good.”
Jian Chi didn’t really want to understand what he meant.
Fortunately, there was a barrier between the back and the front. In order to disperse the heated air in the car, Jian Chi opened the car window and pretended he was casually enjoying the scenery around. The more he looked, the more wrong he felt, “Where are we going?”
Ji Huaisi answered without a pause: “Your house.”
Jian Chi turned his head back in astonishment and almost stuttered, “Wasn’t I sending you home?”
The warm tone didn’t give people a chance to refuse at all, “I haven’t visited uncle yet, so I just took this opportunity. You’re not welcoming me?”
This was not a question of welcome or not.
Jian Chi felt a dull pain in the skin on the back of his neck.
The car drove into the familiar street, and there was no chance to look back. Jian Chi walked in front of Ji Huaisi and opened the door with the key. His heart clicked like an opened lock. He looked up and saw Shao Hang who came out of the bedroom, his expression sank suddenly when he saw Ji Huaisi behind him.
Ji Huaisi greeted him with a smile.
Shao Hang looked at the two of them, his eyes turned into substantial rays, and he squeezed out two cold ‘oh’s. He was about to speak when Jian Chengchao, who heard the movement, came out of the kitchen and was stunned when he saw this scene, “You guys came back…”
“Hello uncle, I’m Jian Chi’s classmate, my name is Ji Huaisi.”
Ji Huaisi came forward to introduce himself, and his generous and gentle attitude suddenly let Jian Chengchao put down his doubts. There was no need for Jian Chi to be the middleman, Ji Huaisi could do it alone and make Jian Chengchao very elated. Jian Chi believed that if they only met on the road today, Jian Chengchao might wish to have Ji Huaisi as his godson.
“Really? Then I really want to thank you for helping me take care of Jian Chi. He has been…”
The two who conversed well naturally turned around to Jian Chi and Jian Chi who couldn’t stand it any longer in being mute, stepped forward and interrupted: “Are you preparing dinner just now? I’ll help too.”
“I haven’t started cooking yet, I just came back from shopping,” Jian Chengchao was diverted from the topic, and cheerfully extended an invitation to Ji Huaisi, “In the refrigerator, there should be enough for a large table of dishes. Xiao Ji, stay for dinner today, don’t be embarrassed, treat this as your own house.”
Ji Huaisi didn’t show the slightest embarrassment, and smiled politely: “Then I will have to trouble uncle now .”
“What’s the trouble, you tell me later if you have any taboos and what you like to eat…”
Jian Chi didn’t know when Shao Hang went around behind him. When he reacted, he heard a voice next to his ear, gritted teeth in a low voice: “I finally know what you inherited from your father.”
“What?” Jian Chi subconsciously moved forward a little, for fear that Jian Chengchao would see something. This move seemed to provoke Shao Hang again, and he squeezed out a cold sigh: “When you see something new, you forget the old one. Your dad asked me the same thing before, but now he sees Ji Huaisi and doesn’t even change his rhetoric. You do the same.”
Jian Chi felt wronged, “Do I?” At least his rhetoric was different every time.
Seeing Jian Chi’s expression, Shao Hang could guess what he was thinking. Pinching the back of his neck, with a hint of threat, “I just said don’t mention Ji Huaisi, now you bring the person directly in front of me, deliberately?”
When necessary, acting stupid was a good choice. Jian Chi avoided Shao Hang’s hand and left a sentence: “I’ll go to the kitchen to help.” Shao Hang was left standing alone, sulking.
When the last dish was served, the table was already full, and four and a half men were sitting around the folded wooden table at once – Jian Chengchao’s body was one and a half, and he had to be mindful while picking dishes. Jian Chi came out with four pairs of chopsticks, the door was knocked, and when he saw the person standing outside, the chopsticks in Jian Chi’s hand almost fell to the ground.
“… Wen Chuan?”
Wen Chuan’s arrival was not uncommon, but he picked the worst time, and no one believed it was a coincidence. He nodded slightly, looked past Jian Chi and saw two figures in the house, his eyes darkened, “Tonight is really lively.”
Jian Chi’s back was cold, and he couldn’t help but wonder if they had discussed it in advance. When closing the door, an extra layer of lock was added, hoping that another Shen Shuting would not appear behind.
That would be the end of the world.
“Why did you come here?”
“Yes…”
Without waiting for Wen Chuan to finish speaking, Jian Chengchao, who came out of the kitchen while taking off his apron, saw Wen Chuan at the door, and hurriedly said: “Xiao Wen, come in quickly, you can eat after washing your hands. You didn’t bring Jingjing?”
Wen Chuan said, “She ate at school.”
Jian Chengchao felt a little pity.
At this time, Jian Chi only heard the second half of Wen Chuan’s words: “It was uncle who asked me to come over. He said that many of your friends were here today, and it will be very lively.”
… It was very lively.
It was getting too lively.
Noticing Wen Chuan, Shao Hang’s face suddenly turned darker. Ji Huaisi greeted him gently, and he couldn’t tell whether he minded it or not. When Jian Chi squeezed in front of the narrow table, facing a table of steaming meals and the gazes of several people, for the first time, he felt the hardship of not being able to eat.
He was wrong.
The end has come.
