unexpected rain

Back in Yongshi, the opportunities to deal with Xiang Shifang have increased as expected, let alone those deliberately arranged, although the circles of the two are different, but the network is a living thing, plus Xiang Shifang deliberately guides , Many people think that they are very good partners.

Lin has to attend the brand launch event every now and then, and meeting Xiang Shifang on such an occasion is reasonable and helpless.

But fortunately, there are many channels that Lin can avoid. He has learned the lesson of that banquet and will never be alone with Xiang Shifang; Protagonist, even if Xiang Shifang does whatever he wants, he can't be rude in public.

It's just that Lin Ji feels tired every time he does this.

Another thing that bothers Lin Ji is about Gaga.Moving back from Rongshi to Yongshi meant that Jiajia had to transfer to another school, and Jiajia would be able to go to primary school in two years. Preschool education is very important.Lin wanted to send Jiajia to the best kindergarten in Yongshi, but he was stumped at the first step. Educational resources in Yongshi can't be obtained with money, let alone the most famous one in front of him. In this city, the top resources have long been eaten up by the upper class. Although Lin knows many famous people, to help him in this regard, he must not only have financial resources, but also have status.

Lin worried about this matter for a week, but at noon one day, he received a call from Xiang Shifang.

"Is there any progress on the matter of Jiajia kindergarten?" Xiang Shifang asked as soon as he came up.

"Why do you..." Lin Ji quickly thought, given Xiang Shifang's attention to him, it was easy to know this.

"I overheard it when I went to drink tea yesterday." Xiang Shifang gave a reason casually.

"Oh, don't bother."

"Lin Ji, I can help you with this matter." Xiang Shifang said, "You know I can, so why don't you want to find me?"

When Lin heard the words, he just smiled inexplicably and hung up the phone.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin received an email from the kindergarten, which probably said that Jiajia could enter the kindergarten, and he would come to the hospital the day after tomorrow to complete the admission procedures.

Lin stared at the email for a long time, he should have been pleasantly surprised, but the surprise was weighed down by another kind of weight, which made him subtly calm.

Who can make this so easy?The answer is self-evident.

Ten minutes later, Lin Ji asked his assistant to wrap a piece of white dragon carved from top-grade Hetian jade in his office and send it to Xiangshi Building.

But not long after, the assistant called back and said that Mr. Xiang refused.

"President Xiang said that this gift is too light, and he doesn't like it."

Lin Ji restrained himself and said, "Then what does he want?"

"He said... he wants to have dinner with you tonight, that's enough."

Lin knew that even if he accepted this favor without saying a word, Xiang Shifang would not complain, but since Lin was not so thick-skinned, Xiang Shifang was also sure of his character, which led to the fact that Lin Jifang was not happy now. Reluctant to find a restaurant situation.

Xiang Shifang seemed to have installed a surveillance camera in his office, Lin just wanted to make a reservation when Xiang Shifang's call was transferred. "Can I have dinner at your house tonight?"

"Don't push yourself too hard." Lin Ji said.

"I just miss your cooking so much." Xiang Shifang softened his voice, making himself gentle and harmless, "It's nothing else, really. Let's go to your house to eat tonight, or you can come to my house."

"Impossible." Lin Ji said decisively.

"...Okay." Xiang Shifang said weakly, "Then forget about this meal, you definitely don't want to have dinner with me."

"..."

"I can eat at the company by myself, and continue to work overtime after eating, and don't go home..." Xiang Shifang thought aggrievedly.

Lin's scalp was about to explode, when did Xiang Shifang learn this trick?

Xiang Shifang was still saying: "I should be able to dream of eating the rice you cooked at night, it's not bad..."

"...[-]:[-] tonight." Lin Ji hung up after finishing speaking.

Although it was 07:30, it seems that Shifang arrived at Lin Ji's house at 06:30.

"Uncle Xiang!" Jia Jia who opened the door for Xiang Shifang called out in great surprise.

Xiang Shifang also touched Jiajia's head happily, "Long time no see, I've grown taller."

"hey-hey!"

"A gift for you. Where's your father?" Xiang Shifang asked.

"Dad is in the kitchen." Gaga ran into the house, "Dad! Dad! Uncle Xiang is here!"

Lin looked from the semi-open kitchen, Xiang Shifang walked in from the entrance, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Did you remember the time wrong?"

"It's polite to arrive earlier than the agreed time." Xiang Shifang said solemnly.

Jia Jia came to Lin Ji holding his gift, "Uncle Xiang gave it to me, a remote control car!"

"I also prepared presents for my aunt." Xiang Shifang said, "Gift packs of canned food."

The glamorous aunt curled up on the sofa without even opening her eyes.

Lin has a strange feeling, as if Shifang bought his family before proposing marriage...

Jiajia unwrapped the present, let out a wow of joy, and couldn't put it down, holding the box in circles.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Shifang walked over.

"Stew soup." Lin Ji said, he put all the processed ingredients into the pressure cooker, closed the lid, and turned on the fire.

"I've also prepared your share." Xiang Shifang said.

Lin washed his hands and said, "Mr. Xiang, you are here to accept favors, not to send them away."

"I didn't take it as a favor."

"It's here at my place." Lin Ji said.

"It's not anyway." Xiang Shifang whispered, and in the end, he was afraid that he would offend Lin Ji, so he went back to the living room, sat next to his aunt and patted its back.

Lin shook his head, cooked the rice, and then processed the beef.

But not long after, Lin Ji heard Gaga scream "Yeah".

He immediately put down what he was doing and went to have a look, only to see Jiajia holding Xiang Shifang's hand, whistling at a loss.

"What happened?" Lin asked.

"Grandma bit Uncle Xiang." Jia Jia said, "Daddy, it's bleeding."

Lin frowned, "Let me see."

Xiang Shifang's tiger's mouth had two bloody nipples, which were caused by his aunt's two fangs.

"I want to hug it." Xiang Shifang lowered his head, "I used to hug it."

"It may not remember you." Lin Ji said, pulling Xiang Shifang under the faucet, washing his wound with soap, then applying alcohol, and finally putting on a band-aid.

"My aunt has been vaccinated, so you don't have to worry." Lin Ji said.

Xiang Shifang replied sullenly, looking very disappointed.

Lin didn't know why, and felt very uncomfortable. He went to find out his aunt, hugged her on his lap, and taught her, "So fierce? You're still biting at the age of six. Why do you have to give cat food when you eat cat food?" You eat it after soaking it? They even bought you canned food, it’s really rude. You can’t bite, you understand?” Lin Ji pinched his aunt’s fleshy cheeks, “If you know your mistakes, you have to correct them, understand? Do you understand? I understand with a meow."

My aunt purred like an engine, and it meowed delicately to save face for the shovel.

"Be good." Lin put it down, and went to Xiangshifang, "Grandma is afraid of strangers, you have to approach it slowly."

"It's very smart." Xiang Shifang whispered, "It knew you liked me before, so it liked me too, but now you don't like me, and it doesn't like me either."

Since Lin couldn't say enough to the man who was depressed in his imagination, he stuffed the catnip jar into Xiang Shifang's hand and said, "If you grab this one, it will love you like crazy."

Xiang Shifang twisted open the jar suspiciously, and a fat cat rushed over with lightning speed, rubbed hard against his hand, and meowed happily.

Lin shook his head, left a word of attention, and returned to the kitchen.

A kind of sour and sweet taste surged from Xiang Shifang's heart, his eyes followed the past, a little funny, he asked silently, Lin Ji, is there anyone in this world who is better and gentler than you?

07:30 Dinner was served on time. Lin Ji made a soup and four dishes with meat and vegetables. Xiang Shifang noticed that none of these dishes had garlic or spicy food. Lin Ji still remembered his taste.

The taste was the same as what Xiang Shifang remembered, and it made him feel like he lost it and found it again.

Compared with Xiang Shifang, Jiajia seems to be "unaware of blessings in the midst of blessings". Children are picky eaters and don't like green peppers. He picks out the green peppers in the bowl one by one, and the two adults frown in unison.

Lin Ji: "Son, it's not a good habit to be picky eaters. Are you going to dump it secretly while Dad isn't paying attention?"

Gaga's eyeballs rolled around.

Xiang Shifang: "I don't know how to cherish it, Lin Ji, don't pick it up for him, pick it up for me, I'll eat it all."

Lin Ji: "..."

After the meal, Lin cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Xiang Shifang also followed, leaning over to him to help.

"No, you go out." Lin Ji avoided his hand and said directly.

Xiang Shifang remained silent, occupied another sink and started washing dishes without saying a word.

Since Lin was blocked inside and the kitchen was narrow, he had to be next to Xiang Shifang if he wanted to go out.

It's like being in a cocoon.Lin sighed helplessly, Xiang Shifang had already washed several bowls while he was struggling.

Probably aware of Lin Ji's discomfort, Xiang Shifang took the initiative to bring up the topic of work, and they also participated in several activities together, and they always had something in common.

Lin was a little absent-minded and said "hmmm", and suddenly felt a little funny. It was as if they were switched, and it seemed that Shifang was doing what he did before.

The dishes were washed soon, Lin Ji put them all in the cupboard, and the pot was going to be put in the closet above, Xiang Shifang naturally took it from Lin Ji and put it on.

"Is there any more?" Xiang Shifang turned his head to look at Lin Ji, they were so close, their eyes collided with each other, trembling slightly.

Lin saw Xiang Shifang's forehead, a scar that could be vaguely seen even though his hair covered it, which made his heart flutter a little.

Xiang Shifang raised his hand to touch it, then tapped Lin Ji's forehead, and said, "You have one too."

Lin Ji's scar was caused by Song Guangfeng before the college entrance examination.

Xiang Shifang had a slight smile in his eyes, as if he had the same scar as Lin Jie, which is something to be happy about.

Lin felt that his face was getting hot, and the light touch on his forehead was vivid. He took a step back, but accidentally bumped into the closet door, causing a thud on the back of his head.

"Are you okay?" Xiang Shifang nervously pulled him to him.

"It's okay, let me go." Lin Ji resisted.

"Don't move." Xiang Shifang frowned, his expression darkened, he touched the back of Lin Ji's head with his hand, wondering if there was any swollen bump inch by inch.

The cold fingertips were running over Lin Ji's scalp, as if there was a slight electric current flowing down from his cervical spine, he was so numb that he didn't know what to do.

Xiang Shifang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not swollen."

He stroked Lin Ji's hair soothingly, "Did I scare you? I'm sorry."

The voice is deep and gentle, like a hot spring, making one unable to resist indulging.

"Dududu-"

The remote control car drove in and bumped into Xiang Shifang's heel.

Lin Ji blinked vigorously a few times, and came to his senses, he slowly pushed Xiang Shifang away, and left the kitchen in silence.

Xiang Shifang clenched his hands, turned and followed.

"Is it fun, son?" Lin Ji asked with a smile.

"It's fun!" Gaga steered the car back to the front, picked it up and showed Xiang Shifang a big and sweet smile, "Thank you, Uncle Xiang!"

"As long as you like it." Xiang Shifang said calmly, he glanced at the gift prepared for Lin Ji, Lin Ji didn't seem to want to open it.

"It's getting late." Lin Ji euphemistically issued an order to evict the guest.

Xiang Shifang knew that if he insisted on not leaving, it would be annoying, so he nodded and said to Lin Ji, "Can you walk me to the door?"

How can anyone make such a request?Lin looked at him speechlessly, but agreed anyway.

At the door, Xiang Shifang turned to face Lin Ji, "I am very satisfied tonight, thank you, Lin Ji."

"It's nothing compared to your 'easy effort'." Lin shrugged.

"Lin Ji, I know that you are always moving forward, and I may not be that important to you." Xiang Shifang said, "But I will do my best and never let go of every opportunity to come back to you. "

Lin was startled, thinking that Shifang was talking about returning to him.

Xiang Shifang took half a step forward, and a gentle kiss fell on Lin Ji's cheek, and he left immediately.

"Good night."
