an couldn't help but be taken aback.Then he said, "I'll go now and not bother you."Wen Yuzhou hummed in response.After Wenxuan left, Ning Shu's mind went blank.While Wen Yu Zhou withdrew his hand, he...Ning Shu looked back.
Lin Qingqing's eyes were red, and she looked a little wronged. She said falteringly: " ... Didn't you get a new girlfriend That's why you don't dare to take me there"
Ning Shu interrupted her, "No, I'm living with someone else now, it wouldn't be convenient for you to stay at my place."
Lin Qingqing felt much better after hearing this.
But couldn't help but ask, " ... is your colleague"
Ning Shu hesitated and said, "He is a student who is several years younger than me."
Lin Qingqing felt relieved, she knew that the person living with Ning Shu should also be a male. Until Ning Shu left, she still felt reluctant to part with him.
After leaving the hotel, Ning Shu went to the restroom to wash away her scent.
Unlike Lin Qingqing's elaborate attire that day, perhaps because of her lower quality of life now, she doesn't seem to care about dressing up as much anymore. At least the strong perfume scent is gone.
So Ning Shu just cleaned it up simply, and there was no problem.
But when he went out.
I can't help but think of myself as a husband cheating on his wife.
Ning Shu quickly smiled again.
He and Shen Ji began with a relationship driven by desire. Shen Ji treated him as a lover to satisfy his desires, while he simply wanted to complete the task...
Shen Ji doesn't love him.
How else can you use this analogy to describe them
Ning Shu lowered her head, but Shen Ji didn't know what was going on recently. He had been unusually generous to her.
He liked her even more than he imagined.
I believe that I will be able to complete the task soon.
......
When Ning Shu came out of the bathroom, Shen Ji was on the phone.
He's been at odds with the Shen family lately, like water and fire. Word got out to Mr. Shen about his habit of keeping men around, but no one knows who spilled the beans.
Mr. Shen didn't have much of an opinion on his son's preference.
He smiled and said, "I play with women, you've taken to playing with men. It's just that men can't give birth, Shen Ji. You know, I don't need an heir who can't carry on the Shen family line."
What he's really saying is that you can play around, but don't get serious. Since you can't have children, there's no point in you being my heir. You're certainly exceptional and admired by everyone, but I don't necessarily need to give you the position.
Shen Ji listened to the voice on the other end, his tone icy: "Otherwise, do you think I'm still expecting him to give me a son He's just a thing, father..." He curled his lips, his eyes devoid of warmth: "Do you really think, like you, someone who gives birth to a son, would be a romantic"
Shen's father chuckled on the other end, his eyes turning cold. "Good, very good... Shen Ji, no wonder none of your illegitimate siblings compare to you, they are nothing but defective goods..."
A man like Mr. Shen, whose son is colder than him, should be happy about it.
But Shen's father was on his guard.
Because Shen Ji is even colder-blooded than him, he should be more wary of him.
.....
Ning Shu wasn't intentionally eavesdropping; she just happened to hear a sentence. She paused, knowing that Shen Ji was talking about himself.
The air in the room seemed a bit stale, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Immediately, his gaze met the boy's.
Their gazes met.
Ning Shu stood still.
Shen Ji looked at the person, especially the man's peaceful eyes. He felt a strange sense of panic in his heart for some reason.
It felt like there was something in his hand that he couldn't hold onto, slipping away.
He wore a neutral expression.
Her eyes dimmed slightly.
Nothing is beyond his control, including people.
He can bind people to him, never to leave, if he so chooses.
While Ning Shu could only leave when he was bored.
......
Ning Shu hadn't saved Lin Qingqing's number, but whenever she called, he knew it was her.
After all, he wasn't close with many people who weren't familiar to him from daily life.
Since separating from Ning Shu, Lin Qingqing felt a growing unease in her heart. Although she had inquired at his company about whether he had a girlfriend, she felt like something had changed.
Ashu shouldn't be like this. She knows how much Ning Shu loves her. In a year, no matter what happens, it's impossible for her to have no feelings for her.
Thinking of Ning Shu saying that she was living with a stranger, Lin Qingqing bit her lip.
She is greedy and wants to get back together with Ning Shu.
As soon as she thought about the past, she felt more and more nostalgic and regretful.
.....
Shen Ji is back to get his things.
His eyes were dark, knowing he was uncharacteristically affected. He shouldn't have been like this, but last night had slipped beyond his control.
As soon as I thought about it, yesterday the man heard all those words.
Shen Ji was unreasonably irritable, to the point that he was absent-minded at school and even became increasingly cold.
Even the smallest things were overlooked at the man's residence, unlike his usual style and manner of dealing with things.
Shen Ji felt disgusted and agitated by this feeling of being out of control.
He knew it was the man who had affected him. If it were before, Shen Ji would have dealt with such an annoying person without hesitation. But Shen Ji hesitated to act, even though he was perfectly aware that Ning Shu was increasingly influencing him.
Shen Ji thought, it's just a man. Keeping him by his side, under his very nose, wouldn't that be enough
He expressionlessly opened the door to his house.
Shen Ji lowered his eyes and thought of the note Ning Shu had given him, just her name and surname. The rage in his heart, at this moment, reached its peak.
Not until he pushed open the door did he realize he had walked into the wrong bedroom.
Shen Ji originally intended to turn and leave.
But in an instant, something seemed to click in his mind.
He raised his eyelids and began to look at the wardrobe.
Then he walked over.
Shen Ji remembered, he lived here when he had amnesia. The room was very clean, with nothing extra.
The man said he had shared an apartment with colleagues before.
But even if it was a stranger, how could they possibly leave no trace at all
And when people move, they inevitably leave behind a few things.
But in a man, there's nothing. As if it were intentionally erased, Shen Ji's eyes grew colder and colder.
The boy opened the wardrobe.
There was nothing inside, probably because it hadn't been cleaned for a very long time, so there was a light layer of dust on top.
leaving marks on his fingers.
Shen Ji's eyes retracted indifferently, and at that moment, his peripheral vision seemed to have caught onto something.
Immediately.
A handsome young man walked closer, gazing directly ahead. It was a corner where a table and a wardrobe stood side by side, and in that corner, a black mass lay there.
Shen Ji didn't say a word, he just kept looking. Then he bent down and picked up the thing with his finger.
Soon, the whole picture became clear.
That was a black stocking, the kind only a woman would wear —
Shen Ji's face suddenly darkened, becoming incredibly terrifying.
......
Ning Shu came out of the meeting and only then realized that Shen Ji had called him dozens of times. He was taken aback, not understanding what had happened.
Thinking about it.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, but still dialed the number.
Shen Ji's slightly hoarse and cold voice sounded in Ning Ge's unsuspecting ear: "...Ning Ge, where are you"
Ning Shuxin felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Especially Shen Ji's voice sounded as if it were shrouded in something unexplainable, making people inexplicably feel scared and uneasy.
He opened his mouth and replied, "What's up I'm at the company."
"Xiao Ji, what can I do for you"
Shen Ji said faintly from over there, "Ning Ge, you're back. I have something to discuss with you."
The boy's voice was flat, so flat that it was almost unnatural.
Ning Shu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Feeling a little uneasy.
He understood Shen Ji, even though Shen Ji looked down upon him with cold eyes and spoke harsh, venomous words. He could accept all of it.
But Shen Ji alone is like this.
...but rather makes Ning Shu unreadable, even dangerous. ...
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to do as Shen Ji had suggested and head back. He took leave from work and planned to return to the original owner's residence.
On his way back, he kept thinking about what Shen Ji really wanted.
Ning Shu was thinking with some unease.
Until he got off the bus, the unease in his heart did not lessen, but rather intensified.
Ning Shu's heart was weighed down by something heavy, and as if heaven saw that he wasn't in enough trouble, his phone rang.
is Lin Qingqing.
Ning Shu didn't want to answer, but Lin Qingqing kept calling. He remained silent, thinking that the other party was just a little girl, and Lin Qingqing had been having a hard time lately, maybe she had run into some trouble.
So Ning Shu still answered the call.
"A Shu."
Lin Qingqing's voice sounded.
Ning Shu opened her mouth: "...What do you have to say"
Lin Qingqing bit her lip: "...actually, I'm at your doorstep right now."
Ning Shuxin's heart felt as if it had been hit by something, heavy and painful. He raised his head and subconsciously looked towards the distance. Lin Qingqing stood near the place where the original owner lived.
He probably saw him too.
Lin Qingqing took her hand back and just waited for Ning Shu to come to her.
She bit her lip: "...I'm sorry, I didn't tell you I was coming. I just wanted to come by...to see...where we used to live..."
Only she knew in her heart that she was worried Ning Shu had a new girlfriend. She was both anxious and couldn't help herself, so she ran over to find out what was going on.
Ning Shu looked at Lin Qingqing in front of her. The girl was dressed more carefully today than usual. Lin Qingqing was pretty, otherwise the original owner wouldn't have fallen in love at first sight.
But he was suddenly blinded.
Because Shen Ji was right above.tilted his head and glanced at Huang Ping.He walked past.Huang Ping only felt that her bones seemed to be shattered. She endured the excruciating pain and deeply regretted why she had provoked such a...
