Lu Zelin was forced to be their driver because Xia Chen prohibited Lu Ze'an from driving and confiscated his driver's license, and Ji Mu hadn't passed the driver's license test.

"I swear that I will study hard tomorrow!" Lu Ze'an finally walked out of the Lu family's gate. He excitedly swore to the reluctant Lu Zelin, then turned his head and said to Ji Mu, "Brother Chen's birthday is next month, what do you want?" Are you ready for a birthday present?"

In fact, Ji Mu has been thinking about this in his heart: "Not yet."

Gu Yuanchen didn't seem to lack anything, besides, Ji Mu didn't know if Gu Yuanchen would invite him to his birthday party.

But if Gu Yuanchen didn't invite him, Ji Mu still planned to give him a gift.

He had seen many watches on the Internet before, but he was still undecided.After all, the watch that Gu Yuanchen is using now is already very good.Send a coat, hat and scarf, which is a little ordinary.He has never given anyone a birthday present, so he doesn't know what to buy.

For this reason, Ji Mu asked Lu Ze'an: "Brother An, what birthday gift did you receive last year, I want to make a reference."

"This car."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, my dad rewarded me with his bonus! I didn't ask for it myself." Lu Ze'an began to groan, with a look of "Daddy loves me the most", making the driver's seat Lu Zelin was speechless.

Lu Zelin dismantled the stage: "It's obvious that you said you would study hard when you have a car. Dad must regret giving you this gift."

Lu Ze'an ignored him, and continued to say to Ji Mu: "Since you haven't decided what to give, ahem, I can give you a suggestion." He took out his mobile phone and showed Ji Mu a pair of sneakers in the photo album. A brand that has been popular for several years, "Just this sneaker, if you give it to brother Chen, he will definitely like it."

Ji Mu didn't know much about sneakers, but he still took notes carefully.

"Also, I want to tell you a piece of good news, that is, Brother Chen doesn't plan to hold a birthday party this year." Lu Ze'an has a lot of gossip, which is accurate every time.

"I remember that seniors used to do it every year."

"Yes, but Xu Feng asked him a few days ago, and he didn't plan to do it."

After all, Gu Yuanchen is going to Gu's for an internship this year, he has enough things to do, he doesn't have the time to prepare for the birthday party in advance, and besides, Lu Qiuyuan or his friends used to organize it for him.Gu Yuanchen didn't have much interest in the noisy birthday party, so he just treated it as a gathering for dinner.

"Since he doesn't plan to do it, it means Brother Chen is free that day, you can ask him out! That's the point!"

Lu Ze'an felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to promote their relationship. As long as Ji Mu went with a gift, could he, Gu Yuanchen, come out and treat him to a meal?

Ji Mu wondered: "But isn't it because he was too busy that he didn't do it?"

"How could there be no time for a meal? Besides, my dad and Uncle Yuan were busy with work that day. Ji Mu, this is a rare opportunity!" Lu Ze'an patted him on the shoulder resentfully, "Go!"

"..."

"Come on, do you hear me?" Lu Ze'an clenched his fists and put on a cheering gesture.

"Okay, then I...then I'll try!" Ji Mu also clenched his fists, but his movements were unfamiliar.

Lu Zelin in front was amused. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Mu in the rearview mirror, and found that Ji Mu's ears were red and he was smiling shyly.The heating in the car was very good, and Lu Zelin couldn't help feeling a little stuffy, so he slightly opened the window.

It's really strange, he obviously doesn't have a high degree of compatibility with floral Omega, so how can he always smell a slight sweetness of Season Curtain in the confined space.

As an Alpha in the military academy, Lu Zelin has been receiving training in pheromones, so he is more sensitive than most Alphas.Usually, he can smell some pheromones that others cannot perceive, but it will not be affected.

The wind came in through the window, bringing a chill.

Lu Ze'an shivered: "What are you doing with the window open?"

Lu Zelin said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm a little bored."

When driving through a residential area along the road, the three of them heard the sound of a fire truck not far away.Looking into the distance through the car window, a puff of black smoke rose from a residential area, thickly condensing into a "skeleton".

Their car had to pass through this neighborhood to take a shortcut to the city, and as the car approached in the direction of the black smoke, someone's cries and cries came from afar.

Panic, commotion, and the sound of a baby crying.

"Is there a fire over there? It seems a little serious..." Lu Ze'an murmured to himself, and lowered the car window.

It just so happened that when they saw the high-rise residents on fire, they opened the windows and jumped down.

"My God!" Lu Ze'an lost his voice, but the moment he turned his head, he saw Ji Mu's expression gradually stiffen.I saw him staring at the cloud of black smoke, his face froze, as if he remembered something bad.

All of a sudden, the gentleness at the corner of his mouth receded slowly, and the fear escaped from the box in his heart.Ji Mu broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, and the feeling of suffocation crawled back into his mind.

Lu Ze'an hurriedly asked him what was wrong, but Ji Mu pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Because it's not a good memory.

He is afraid of fire, and everything related to it. He almost died in a fire in Ji's house.

In his third year at Ji's house.

During the summer vacation of that year, led by Ji Feng, they went to a villa for vacation.Originally, Yuan Limei didn't plan to bring Ji Mu along, but her son Ji Mu insisted on bringing Ji Mu along.On the surface, what Ji Mu said to Ji Feng was that it was too pitiful for Ji Mu to be alone at home, but in private, it was because Ji Mu had to help him with his summer homework.

Ji Mu is different from Ji Mu, his grades have not been very good, so Yuan Limei has to check his homework every day.In desperation, he could only barely cope with Yuan Limei's supervision with Ji Mu, who had excellent grades.

This villa is remote, in the deep mountains and green forests, it is a good and clean place.

Unfortunately, due to the carelessness of the servants during the vacation, a fire broke out in the villa during a night when everyone was sleeping soundly.

This villa is relatively old, built by Ji's grandfather, plus the servant's usual negligence, so the fire prevention facilities are not complete.Fortunately, the servant woke up Ji Mu's family in time, but forgot about Ji Mu who was sleeping in the guest room.

The fire spread quickly with the soft fabric in the villa, and the whole house began to become hot and breathless.Although Ji Mu had been sleeping very lightly, he was too tired that day. When he opened his eyes, the fire outside the guest room had already blocked the way to escape.

He was forgotten, and no one came to rescue him.

The only thing that could save him was a sealed glass window in the guest room on the second floor.

He has to jump.

Recalling the situation of that night, Ji Mu only felt that it was difficult to breathe.His complexion changed drastically, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, anyone could see his strangeness.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Lu Ze'an hurriedly asked Lu Zelin to drive directly to the hospital.

But Ji Mu is not physically uncomfortable, but the fear in his heart is also an invisible pain, just like he was afraid of Yuan Limei's every move since he was a child.He held Lu Ze'an's hand with a pale face: "Brother An, I'm fine, I want to go back and have a rest. I can't play with you today, sorry."

How could Lu Ze'an blame him, not only obediently sent him back to Gu's house, but also called Gu Yuanchen immediately.

So when they arrived at the gate of Gu's house, they saw Gu Yuanchen waiting there.

"What's going on?" Gu Yuanchen stepped forward to support Ji Mu.

Ji Mu dodged his eyes: "I'm too tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Gu Yuanchen didn't listen to him: "Zelin, you drive, we go to the hospital."

"Senior, I'm fine..." Ji Mu trembled a little, and took a step back, "I'm really fine, I'm just... just scared."

Lu Ze'an quickly explained the whole story, but Gu Yuanchen didn't understand after listening.Although Ji Mu witnessed the fire and jumping off the building, according to what Lu Ze'an said, they did not see the body that fell from the building.It's just that, it's too exaggerated for Ji Mu to be frightened into such a distraught look.

Gu Yuanchen took Ji Mu back to the house, saw that he was shaking slightly, and asked Mrs. Zhang to make some ginger tea.

The heating in the room was fully turned on, but Ji Mu didn't take off his coat.

After drinking a cup of ginger tea, he regained his composure.Realizing that he had overreacted, Ji behind the curtain opened his mouth knowingly to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

Does it start from the scar on his foot, or from his narrow escape that year.

he does not know.

He was afraid of revealing his secrets, and also afraid that this kind of experience would not resonate but would become hypocritical.

"Ji Mu, it's okay." But for the first time, Gu Yuanchen changed his doubtful attitude just now and comforted him.

Maybe it's because his trembling appearance is too pitiful, or maybe Gu Yuanchen's heart is too kind.

Ji Mu heard Gu Yuanchen try his best to soften his voice: "Forget it, take a good rest. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll take you to the hospital."

With a crying sound choked in Ji Mu's throat, he nodded hesitantly.

"Thank you senior." Ji Mu got up, and under Gu Yuanchen's instructions, he went back to the room alone.

After closing the door, he sat quietly by the bed, staring blankly for a long time.Then, he slowly pulled up his pants.And on his calf, there is an extremely ugly scar, like a raging minion, which will not heal after years.

This is what was left when he jumped from the second floor after smashing the window, and was stuck in the leg by the glass.

Ji Mu remembered very clearly that before he smashed open the window, he saw Ji Feng who had fled outside the villa building.

So, Ji Mu slammed on the window in panic and called out to his father.But Ji Feng ignored it, he didn't even think of Ji Mu at that moment, let alone heard Ji Mu's shout through the window, he just squatted on the bed and carefully checked whether Ji Mu, who was engaged to the Gu family, was injured.

Ji Mu was frightened, threw herself into Ji Feng's arms and cried, Yuan Limei stood still in shock.

Suddenly, she turned around and saw the season curtain at the window.

Under the reflection of the flames, Yuan Limei was wearing a long white dress pajamas, her messy black hair trembling slightly in the wind.She stared at Ji Mu motionlessly, the horror in her eyes suddenly turned into joy, she raised the corners of her mouth, opened her mouth almost morbidly, and said silently: "Go to hell."

Her disgust was conveyed to Ji Mu's eyes in the slightest.

Ji Mu's feet were nailed in place, and his whole body was cold: "Help me..."

And Ji Mu's crying overwhelmed Ji Mu's gradually weakened cries for help. Ji Mu, who was forgotten in the fire, finally understood what his life and death were to Ji's family.

He is worthless trash.

If he died, no one would feel sorry for him, let alone shed a tear for him.He would just disappear into this world without a sound, as humble as dust, as inconspicuous as gravel.

At that moment, Ji Mu lost the desire to live.

Sooner or later, Ji's family will consume him to death, just like his mother, dying under the shadow of Ji's family.No matter how hard he tries, everything will not get better, and everything will be in vain.

But he also thought of Gu Yuanchen, the only one who would care about him now.

Through the email and a few words, Gu Yuanchen told him: [I think you are a very good person. ]

No one has ever praised him like that.

So as long as it is in the email, in Gu Yuanchen's heart, Ji Mu is wearing a disguise and was born under the sun.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and picked up the chair beside him.One click, two clicks, three clicks.The glass shattered all over the floor, and some of them pierced into the soles of his bare feet, bloody and bloody, and the pain bit his sanity.He fell to the ground, smoked, with a piece of glass lodged in his leg.

Reason told him that he should jump.But the sluggishness of his body also told him that his consciousness had begun to blur.

Ji Mu crawled on the ground in despair, and he grabbed the window sill with both hands, tightly.

Rather than saying that he jumped, it is better to say that he fell headlong after being pierced by the glass.

The two-story villa was not too high, but Ji Mu was seriously injured.He was found by a servant, and the ambulance whistled all the way to take him to the nearest hospital.

The nightmare haunted him for a long time, and when he woke up, it was already a week later, and he had no family or friends around him.

He felt extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that he thought he was deaf.

The first thing Ji Mu did after he was discharged from the hospital was to reply to Gu Yuanchen's email.

Sunshine's gentle tone and positive attitude are still the same. Putting on the disguise of "Ji Mu", he is deeply in love with Gu Yuanchen.

And now.

After Ji Mu returned to the room, Gu Yuanchen made a call: "Check something for me."

The other end of the phone listened, and did not know what to say, and then Gu Yuanchen replied: "Help me find out if Ji Mu has experienced a fire before, or if there is any shadow of falling from a building, generally this kind of thing... yes. Okay ,ASAP."

He hangs up.
