why do you like me

057 Tattoos

The roads in N City are square, wide and straight, and even such secluded alleys are trimmed like a meticulous painting, and the shadows of the sycamore trees appear neat.The streets and alleys can be seen at a glance, and Jiang Chuan realized that Cheng Jing hadn't turned on the phone until he was calling the phone.While running to find someone and calling Cheng Jing's name, he felt like he was going crazy, when suddenly there was a creaking sound behind him.

The window on the wall painted with various strong colors and incomprehensible patterns was pushed open. Cheng Jing was naked to the waist and looked over with deep eyes.His skin is very white, and his flat collarbone protrudes from his shoulders and neck. The light behind him is dim, and he is as quiet as a condensed light.

Jiang Chuan's nose suddenly turned sour, and tears almost fell down.He looked down at the ground, calmed down his frustration and grievance, walked up to Cheng Jing as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Jing held his hand.Jiang Chuan nodded and went in through the gate next to him, only to find out that it was a tattoo parlor.The walls inside are also messily painted, and tattoo artists with dreadlocks are cleaning the tattoo machines.A corner of the messy table was swept away, and there was a tattoo design draft.

Cheng Jing picked up the design draft and said, "I want to get a tattoo."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Standing beside Jiang Chuan, Cheng Jing held up the design draft in front of him, gesticulating with his fingers under his collarbone, and said, "I want to get a tattoo here."

There are two letters, J and C, in pure black. The overall shape is like a rose, but the lines at the beginning and the end are sharp, like two hooks hooking each other, and like a gothic heart shape, dark and pure.

Jiang Chuan hasn't realized what these two letters represent, he is only worried about one thing: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." The tattoo artist hummed, "It takes thousands of stitches in a minute."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Seeing that Jiang Chuan was going to stop him, Cheng Jing curled his lips and said, "He scared you. I tried the pain just now, and I didn't feel anything."

"Really?" Jiang Chuan was still a little worried. Cheng Jing had suffered enough torture during this time.And Cheng Jing smiled faintly: "That pain is worse than the mosquito bite in the yard of grandpa's house."

Jiang Chuan took a serious look at Cheng Jing.Cheng Jing took the initiative to hold his hand, with a pleading light in his eyes.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Cheng Jing made up his own mind about everything big and small. It was the first time Jiang Chuan saw him show such an expression, and he was immediately defeated. Now he will give Cheng Jing whatever he wants.

The tattoo artist started to cut Cheng Jing's line, while Jiang Chuan watched from the side.The tattoo machine presses the needle fast, and although the sound is small, it sounds like thunder to Jiang Chuan's ears. He always feels that this thing is a sewing machine, and one needle goes through the entire finger.He stared at the tattoo artist's hand, as long as Cheng Jing snorted, he would immediately cut off the master's head.

The pain was still a bit painful, but Cheng Jing was extremely tolerant, with no expression on his face, and stretched out a hand to hold Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan was taken aback and looked at him.

Cheng Jing: "Do you know what my tattoo is?"

Jiang Chuan: "JC...the police?"

Cheng Jing: "..."

Jiang Chuan still didn't react, Cheng Jing pursed his lips and smiled, squeezed his palm, and said, "You, idiot."

The tattoo artist is focusing on coloring.Jiang Chuan turned around and picked up the design draft and read it carefully again, and wrote down the pinyin of Cheng Jing's name, a little surprised: "Your is CJ, we have reversed."

He never paid attention to this, and immediately became interested, and asked the tattoo artist if he could give him one too, with the exact same design, but with the letters reversed.

The tattoo artist had no objection, Cheng Jing said, "Don't get this tattoo on your neck, it's too conspicuous."

Jiang Chuan took off his T-shirt and stood in front of the mirror to take a picture.He only wanted to tattoo what he could see, but the collarbone was not the best choice.Cheng Jing watched him gesturing on various parts of his body from a distance, and suddenly said, "It's tattooed on the waist."

Jiang Chuan put his hand on his left waist: "Here?"

Cheng Jing: "A little further down."

Jiang Chuan pressed close to his crotch: "Here?"

Cheng Jing condensed her eyes: "A little further inward."

Jiang Chuan pointed with his fingers, his eyes froze on the mirror for a moment, and he smiled, "Okay, you can go where you say."

He is tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular waist.The piece Cheng Jing specified was the lower abdomen triangle, where the mermaid line was attached, and it was extremely sexy.

Jiang Chuan stopped hesitating, pointed at the place and shouted to his master, "Here it is, help me make one with the same shape."

After both of them finished, they stood in front of the mirror and looked at it.Jiang Chuan glanced at his own, and then at Cheng Jing's, probably because of his skin color, he thought Cheng Jing's looked better.Cheng Jing has already put on her clothes. She has a white shirt and white skin. The two buttons on the collar are unbuttoned. The black tattoo under the collarbone is half exposed and half hidden. It is sexy and mysterious.

Jiang Chuan couldn't take his eyes off it. For the first time, he felt that tattoos were not the greasy feeling that street gangsters gave him.Cheng Jing raised his jaw slightly, without avoiding the boy's gaze at all, and let him look at him.

Jiang Chuan smiled, paid the bill and dragged Cheng Jing away.

The luggage was still piled up at the front desk of the hotel, and Jiang Chuan asked for a room.When he handed over their ID cards, Cheng Jing glanced at him and hesitated: "You..."

Jiang Chuan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

The room is on the southernmost side of the second floor, with a large open-air balcony.Jiang Chuan pushed the suitcase into the room, and when Cheng Jing came in, he slammed the door shut, leaned against the door and lifted his eyes, and said, "Why, are you throwing me away again?"

The two met in N City. Except for the fact that Jiang Chuan lost his temper when Cheng Jing suffered from depression and self-mutilation at the beginning, they have been calm ever since.Jiang Chuan suppressed the grievance and anger in his heart. He didn't know how long he could suppress it, but being thrown away by Cheng Jing couldn't happen again.

He asked: "Cheng Jing, why do you keep turning off the phone? You don't want to be in touch with others, and don't you want to be in touch with me?"

The two had known each other for more than a year, and they seemed to be about to collapse several times, but Jiang Chuan never really thought so.He was also trying his best to recover from the time when the conflict was the biggest.He has never liked someone so much, never before, and never again.In those past times, Cheng Jing was also recovering, Jiang Chuan could feel it.But this time, Cheng Jing's actions made him feel uncertain.

"Why?" Jiang Chuan asked for an answer stubbornly, "Why do you keep turning off the phone?"

The entrance is blocked by a screen, and the light is dim.The access control card was still in Jiang Chuan's hand, Cheng Jing walked over to get it, but Jiang Chuan held on tightly.Just as Cheng Jing was about to speak, Jiang Chuan said again, "I want to hear the truth."

"Because," Cheng Jing looked into the boy's eyes, "if I turn on the phone, I can't help but look forward to your call. I don't know if you will call me, and I don't know if you will tell me something What. At that time, I... I had a lot of things to deal with, and I needed to stay calm and not waste time waiting and thinking wildly."

And waiting is so disturbing.

After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a kind of silence for an instant.Cheng Jing suddenly didn't dare to keep looking at Jiang Chuan, lowered his head, and tried to take the access card again.Jiang Chuan raised his head, snapped the access control card into the card slot on the wall, and the porch light suddenly turned on, shining brightly all over his body.

He looked at Cheng Jing who was surrounded by his shadow from top to bottom, and said, "Okay, I see."

Jiang Chuan pushed the suitcase in, and Cheng Jing followed him, pulling at the hem of his T-shirt, and said, "Jiang Chuan, I never thought that you would come...nor did I think that you would be with me at this time...I, I Very happy."

He didn't think that Jiang Chuan would choose to be wise and protect himself like others at this time. He knew that Jiang Chuan was not that kind of person, and he just habitually analyzed the pros and cons for Jiang Chuan.Jiang Chuan is not him, in a situation where he has nothing, but needs to protect too many things.Whether it is Jin Min, Jiang Xing or Nan Xichi, the relationship with Jiang Chuan is too deep.

Cheng Jing walked around in front of Jiang Chuan, put his hand around the boy's waist, stroked the tattoo on the side of his waist, and said, "I didn't know you were going to stay with me... I got this tattoo just to remind myself when you're not around." , cannot die."

Jiang Chuan's gaze flickered.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die at all." Cheng Jing looked at him, "No matter how severe the depression gets, I still have you."

Two days ago he was still saying "I only have you", but now it is "I still have you".Jiang Chuan couldn't bear it anymore, hugged the boy in his arms, and said, "Yes, you still have me, you will always have me."

No matter how you choose, what to do, you will always have me.

After settling down with Cheng Jing, Jiang Chuan returned to Xitangkou.

What he thought at the beginning was that Cheng Jing would continue to live in Xitangkou if he had nowhere to go, so he drove directly.Now that he intends to stay in N City with Cheng Jing, he must return the car first and then communicate with Jin Min.

Originally, he planned to save 5 yuan during this long summer vacation. How did he know that fate loves to play tricks on people so much that not only the plan was not completed, but it was completely changed.It is important to save money for Jiang Xing's medical treatment, but it is more important to accompany Cheng Jing now.

Not to mention discouraged.

Making money is always Jiang Chuan's business alone.In the past, he was anxious and afraid that something would happen to him, so he must leave some money for Jin Min and Jiang Xing.Now he can't be in a hurry even if he wants to. Whether it's Cheng Jing or Jiang Xing, the illness can't be alleviated and cured in a hurry.He slowly learned to be patient, accepted every cruel accident of fate, and began to plan the next thing in his heart.

On the way back to Xitangkou, Jiang Chuan kept thinking about how to persuade Cheng Jing to see a doctor.The boy looked like he was okay, but he was trying to hold his breath. Jiang Chuan didn't want him to be like this.

But Jiang Chuan couldn't force Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing is not very angry or angry, and he is very good at observing words and expressions.Jiang Chuan had some thoughts in his mind, and Cheng Jingneng quickly noticed them, and calmly resolved them.As a result, Jiang Chuan could only pretend that nothing had happened, and his ruthlessness was just a way of coaxing and deceiving, so that Cheng Jing could take the initiative to be honest.

It was already late July, and the students received their admission notices one after another.Jiang Chuan told Jin Min to put away the notice when the time came, and he had to stay with Cheng Jing first. The reason was simple: "Cheng Jing cannot be without someone to take care of him."

Jin Min sighed at Cheng Jing's current situation, and in turn told Jiang Chuan not to be playful, and to be more patient when he was with Cheng Jing.Jiang Xing was also going to N City, Jiang Chuan pinched her cheek, hum: "Where do you think you are going?"

Jiang Xing shook off his hand and entered the bedroom silently.Jiang Chuan sighed, Jiang Xing can't be exhausted now, and he can't be bored in Xitangkou when he grows up.

Jin Min gave money to Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan waved his hand and said, "No, I have it."

Jin Min was suspicious: "Where did you get the money?"

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan said seriously, "Cheng Jing's."

Jin Min warned him: "Don't spend other people's money indiscriminately."

Jiang Chuan chuckled: "Then why don't I marry Cheng Jing, it doesn't belong to him anymore."

"What nonsense are you talking about all day long?" Jin Min twisted Jiang Chuan's arm, "If you take care of people over there, take good care of them. Don't complain if you work hard or get tired."

After packing up, Jiang Chuan returned to City N that day.

He first went to the pet store to pick up Yoyo, and then took a taxi to the hotel.When Wanjia lights are on, the fine lights seep down from the dense sycamore leaves.There is a party in the homestay. I don’t know if it was made by the boss or some lively guests, both Chinese and foreigners.The lobby on the first floor and the balcony on the second floor are brightly lit, and the music is deafening.

In such a noisy environment, Cheng Jing was still dressed in black, sitting quietly on the single sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby, with a glass of champagne gently swirling in his hand, and the lights sprinkled his body.

Yoyo had taken a bath during the day, and her hair was shiny. When she saw the figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows from a distance, she rushed over, her forelimbs banging on the window glass.

Cheng Jing turned her head and pointed in the direction of the gate. Yoyo ran over with her paws in hand, bumping her head into Cheng Jing's arms.Cheng Jing raised the wine glass, rubbed Yoyo's head with the other hand, and smiled slightly.

Jiang Chuan came in with his luggage, and cleaned the wine glass in his hand.Cheng Jing put her arms around Yoyo and squinted her eyes comfortably.

Jiang Chuan put the luggage bag and wine glass on the small tea table next to him, bent over and put his hands on both sides of the sofa, putting his hands very close to the boy's face, and said, "From now on, we will never be separated again, Cheng Jing."

I was too tired yesterday, and there was a Halloween party at night, so I could only watch the live broadcast of the circle of friends silently...
