four year itch

After hanging up the two bottles of nutrient solution, Shen Qingchuan took Ye Jia home.After the outbreak, Ye Jia's state became much more stable. He was like a poor-quality machine that had consumed all its energy in a single moment and was forced to enter a dormant period. He sat motionless on the co-pilot and watched the scenery outside the window.

"Doctor Shen." Ye Jia said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Can you not tell them about it yet?"

The word depression is too heavy. He is already at an age where he must grow up and has responsibilities that he must bear.These two words have no meaning other than spending half a month's salary in exchange for a friend's bewilderment and a relative's heartbreaking.

Shen Qingchuan turned his head, glanced at him heavily and replied, "Okay."

"But Xiaojia, I still want to remind you that you have just washed off the mark, and you are in a period of emotional instability. The side effects of drug stimulation will inevitably be stronger, and they will amplify your emotions. They... You should be prepared."

Shen Qingchuan told him euphemistically that there would be many out of control like this, and sooner or later they would find out that today and tomorrow, if they can fool around for a day, it counts as a day.

"Well, Dr. Shen, thank you." Ye Jia said hoarsely.He seemed to be saying thank you to Shen Qingchuan all the time, these dry words couldn't bear his gratitude at all, but he couldn't think of other ways either.

"Xiao Jia, don't be afraid, I will accompany you." Shen Qingchuan pinched Ye Jia's hand comfortingly, Ye Jia glanced at it, but didn't pull it away, he just turned his face away without moving, almost Integrate with the scenery outside the window.

Shen Qingchuan sighed softly, and silently withdrew his hand.

The two were silent all the way. The elevator stopped on the 15th floor. As soon as the door opened, they saw Chen Lang talking to a woman at the door. Chen Lang's expression seemed to be extremely impatient.

Shen Qingchuan exchanged a look with him, and both of them saw doubt in each other's eyes.

"Chen Lang?" Shen Qingchuan tentatively called his name.

The woman turned her face, Ye Jia froze suddenly, Shen Qingchuan subconsciously protected him behind her, looking at Chen Lang with some blame.

"She found it herself..." Chen Lang quickly explained.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Jia." Chen Di had already walked in front of Ye Jia, and stretched out his hand politely.

This is the first time Ye Jia talked with Chen Di at such a close distance. In the past two times, he either observed from a distance or looked up from a high place. This is the first time he talked with her on an equal footing.

"Hello, Miss Chen." Ye Jia held out his hand to shake her.

"Excuse me, is my fiance here with you?"

Chen Di is a woman who knows very well what kind of charm she has. Not only is the fragrance of roses with a gentle scent of powder, but she is wrapped in thick and gentle leather. Unlike Xu Ling's sharp beauty, she is more like a This kind of bright but not piercing edge is pleasing to the eye. If Ye Jia only hears the pheromone, Ye Jia will almost believe that the person standing in front of him is an elegant woman.

He meant, if Chen Di spoke.

Before Ye Jia could speak, Chen Lang raised his voice to help him answer, "Chen Di! I told you that Xu Ruibai is not here."

Chen Di didn't look back, but Ye Jia saw her frowning in a subtle way, "Why are you so anxious? Didn't your uneducated mother teach you how to be polite when she taught you how to seduce people?"

The words were so ugly that even Shen Qingchuan couldn't listen anymore, and said sullenly, "Miss Chen, your fiancé can't be found, what you should do is to call the police, not go to someone else's house to show your prestige."

"I think, it's not that I went to other people's house first to show my prestige?" Chen Di said with a half smile, staring at Ye Jia pointedly.

Ye Jia said coldly, "Xu Ruibai is not here, and I don't know where he is, so please come back."

Shen Qingchuan had already opened the door, and gently hugged Ye Jia, signaling to let him in.

Chen Di looked contemptuously, "You are just a tool he uses to prove his rebellious spirit. If you are just an Omega like me now, do you think he will like you?"

Ye Jia curled the corner of her mouth and laughed in a low voice, "Miss Chen, I think you misunderstood, he doesn't like me."

—He only likes himself.

"Besides, I'll never be like you."

"I can give him something more useful, and give him everything the Xu family wants to use. What about you? What can you give him?"

How can anyone be so sad that they need to use their own value as a bargaining chip?Ye Jia couldn't figure it out.

Chen Lang stood between Ye Jia and Chen Di, and said in a deep voice, "Chen Di, calm down, Dad's property hasn't been handed over to you yet."

Chen Di glanced at him, and snorted coldly, "It's you who should restrain yourself, Chen Lang, don't think that you are the eldest son of our Chen family because you use some tricks to please Dad."

"Miss Chen, this is my house. If you don't leave, don't blame me for asking the security to invite you out." Shen Qingchuan also pulled Ye Jia behind him.

Seeing this, Chen Di smiled, "Mr. Shen, has my brother cleaned up that mess for you?"

I have to say that Chen Di is very similar to Bai Zhuyu in many ways, but Chen Di is still too young, and it seems that he is not very skilled in how to completely hide the cowardly persecution under a gentle mask. But there is already a bit of Bai Zhuyu's "charm" in his words.

"Ye Jia, I hope you tell Xu Ruibai that running away from the Xu family doesn't mean the end of everything, it's just a small punishment from the Xu family. He is nothing if he leaves the Xu family." She looked at Ye Jia, even her eyes were full of confidence, she said, "He will walk back by himself."

After Chen Di finished speaking, he turned and entered the elevator.

Ye Jia stared blankly at the gradually closing elevator door, and was pushed into the room by Shen Qingchuan. Shen Qingchuan's voice rang out along with the heavy closing sound.

"what happened?"

Chen Lang blinked, and hastily said, "She found it by herself, I really don't know..."

Shen Qingchuan frowned, "I mean, what's going on with you and your family."

"What's going on..." Chen Lang pretended to be stupid and said vaguely.

This time Shen Qingchuan did not make concessions like before, "You hesitated before and didn't want to say it, and I didn't want to force it, but Chen Lang, you have to understand that a friend is not your unilateral contribution, but mutual understanding. Some things You say it, and we can share the responsibility.”

"Brother Shen, our family relationship is too complicated. I will definitely tell you when I have the opportunity, but I don't know how to say it yet." Chen Lang's voice was dry, his eyes were shining with expectation, and his tone was very sincere. He said, " But we're still friends, right?"

Ye Jia nodded, Chen Lang was not as simple as a friend to him, he could almost be described as a benefactor.It's just that he rarely saw such an aggressive Shen Qingchuan, so he looked at Shen Qingchuan with uncertainty.

Shen Qingchuan was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly.

------

Ye Jia opened his eyes. At this time, the alarm clock beside the bed was pointing vaguely at two o'clock. The half tablet of Lorazepam he took before going to bed made him feel dizzy, but he still couldn't fall asleep. Bouts of pantothenic acid.Scenes during the day reappeared in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern, and he couldn't help but think of that person, that face.

—What is he doing now?

——After leaving the Xu family, how is he doing?

——Will he come to me?

Xu Ruibai leaned against the wall and stood in the shadows. Looking carefully, he could still find the unhealed scars on his face. He shook the cigarette case and found that there was still the last cigarette left, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.He took out the cigarette, then looked up at the unlit window, with some reluctance in his eyes, but he had promised himself before coming that he would leave after smoking the pack of cigarettes.

After a while, a little bit of light flickered again in the darkness.

Ye Jia got up and turned on the light, opened the window, and lit a cigarette. The smoke diffused through the summer heat and entered the room with the humid evening wind, slightly relieving the irritability of insomnia.This was his first time smoking, and the taste of nicotine remained on his tongue, which was slightly bitter, but he didn't cough like the protagonist in the movie, he just felt that his eyes were a little dry and sore.

"Xiao Jia, can't you sleep?" Shen Qingchuan's voice passed through the wooden door, causing Ye Jia to let go of half of the cigarette in his hand in fright. He was like a little boy who secretly did something bad without telling his elders and was eager to destroy the evidence. In a hurry.

The breeze blew, the light was as clear as water, the stars shone, the street lamp downstairs flickered once, moths circled around the light source twice, the smell of tobacco in the air seemed to linger, but there were only cigarette butts left.

Ye Jia closed the window softly.
