When he was about to get off work the next day, Lin Qiu was waiting for someone downstairs in Shen Jiaming's company. After waiting for half an hour, Shen Jiaming was still missing. Then he remembered that he said he was going on a blind date today, so he quickly took the bus to Shen Jiaming's most frequent restaurant to go to.

He got out of the car and ran all the way, because if he found the wrong place, he would have to go to another house to find someone, so there was no time to waste.

Fortunately, he happened to see Shen Jiaming who was about to enter the restaurant.

"Shen Jiaming! Shen Jiaming!"

The man, together with the lady holding his arm, looked back.

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, or the moment he heard the voice, a trace of panic flashed in Shen Jiaming's eyes, but it was quickly hidden. Looking back at Lin Qiuqian, his eyes were completely cold.

"You can, you can..." Running all the way made his breathing extremely difficult, he bent over with his hands on his knees, and looked at Shen Jiaming from the corner of his eye, "I'm sorry for taking up a little time for you."

"What on earth are you going to say?" Shen Jiaming frowned impatiently. Lin Qiu was most afraid of his expression and Shen Jiaming's unhappiness.

He paused, as if someone was choking his throat, and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"I want to say, I want... Please, lend me your car."

"It's so troublesome." He complained, and then asked, "Which one? I drove it today?"

When Lin Qiu ran over, he saw Shen Jiaming opening the door for the girl in a gentlemanly manner. It wasn't the flamboyant sports car last night, but a low-key black Mercedes.

"No, it was you and me last night..."

He opened his mouth, but felt that no matter how he worded it, he couldn't continue. From the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Jiaming raised his hand and looked at his watch, and his face became even uglier. Fortunately, he was standing on the steps facing him with his head down, The two who appeared to be aloof could not see.

Being said to be troublesome, it deserves it.

He shouldn't have disturbed Shen Jiaming's blind date, he clearly knew how important it was.

So he said sorry to the lady who was holding Shen Jiaming's arm, saw the other diamond cufflinks on the cuff of Shen Jiaming's suit, felt sour for no reason, and retreated despondently.

That pair of cufflinks was two years ago, and the stock market was booming. Even an account manager like him, who can’t solicit clients, was held up by the people who came to open the account. Clients frequently traded stocks, and his commissions followed suit. Get more.

During that time, there were so many phone calls and WeChat messages asking him about stock trading that he often had no time to eat at noon, and he was so busy that he earned a rare salary that he could show off.

Lin Qiu had to read the text message that the salary came into account several times a day, and then he still ate the ten yuan lunch downstairs in the company. He couldn't find a bento with minced meat, so he saved it and gave it to Shen Jiaming as a gift.

"Sorry, I shouldn't delay you, I will... trouble you again when you are free."

He turned and left. The man's back was very thin, and his lowered head looked a little lonely. He was a poor man. Shen Jiaming's female companion turned her head and asked, "He seems to be looking for you urgently. Is it really okay to leave him alone?"

She has been looking forward to tonight's blind date. When she saw the handsome Shen Jiaming at a business dinner in the middle of the year, she made a secret promise, went home and acted like a baby to her father for a long time, and finally arranged this meeting.

So while she pitied that man, she was also afraid that Shen Jiaming would really say no matter what, and then leave her to chase after him, but fortunately, although Shen Jiaming had been chasing after his back, he still spoke.

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Shen Jiaming withdrew his gaze, "You can ask him later when you get back."

"Eh? Do you live together?"

It's no wonder the girl exclaimed softly, just because of Shen Jiaming's flashy and expensive clothes, it was quite different from that man's old and dull suit.

"Yes, he is unemployed and has no place to live, so I took him in temporarily."

"Ah, so it is."

The girl chuckled, and held Shen Jiaming's arm even harder. She glanced at Shen Jiaming's handsome face with admiration, "You are such a good person."

Lin Qiu, who was taken in by the good man Shen Jiaming, took the bus back to Shen Jiaming's apartment. It was a spacious four-bedroom apartment, and he occupied one of the guest rooms.

There is no need to pay the rent, no need to look at the landlord's face, and it is too late to thank him. If he hadn't been forced into a position, Lin Qiu would not have bothered him so ruthlessly.

There's really nothing I can do about the embarrassing uninvited interruption tonight.

He obviously came back with Shen Jiaming last night, but when he went out for an interview in the morning, he was dragged by his collar to the police station to watch the surveillance, saying that the long scratch on his car was made by Lin Qiu of.

The man said in an extremely fart tone what brand of imported car his car was, and that the long scratch would have to be repainted. As he spoke, the man became even more irritable, his eyes covered with scarlet eyes. Bloodshot.

Lin Qiu didn't understand cars, and he didn't have the financial resources to buy a car or a house, and he didn't study these things, but he thought that if it really depended on him, he would have to borrow money to pay for it.

Still brave enough to reply, that's not for me!

Then his fist waved up, and Lin Qiu fell hard to the ground. It was a long time of dull pain, and the man grabbed his collar and pulled him up vigorously. The security guards around him hurried forward to fight, Lin Qiu Qiu felt dizzy and before she could react, she was roughly pulled away.

His skin is pale, bloodless and unhealthy white, which makes the bruise on his right eye particularly obvious. This is one of the reasons why he didn't dare to raise his head when he went to look for Shen Jiaming at night, other reasons It was because he was guilty and afraid that such things would happen too much, Shen Jiaming finally couldn't bear to draw a clear line with him.

Two security guards supported each other, Lin Qiu said helplessly, "The person on the surveillance is not me."

"Why not you? The body and hairstyle are all the same!"

"This gentleman, from the video, it seems that the back is indeed you."

The housing prices in this community are the most expensive in the north of Chengnan. People who can afford a house here are either rich or expensive. The security guards know that they can't afford to mess with them, and their tone is quite polite.

The person in the surveillance video took the key and rowed towards the black car parked on the side of the road, leaving a dazzling scratch.

It's a pity that the video only recorded a back view, not a frontal view. The medium height and thin body is indeed very similar to Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu knew it wasn't him, but the other party insisted it was him.

Inexplicably, it became an unsolved case.

Fortunately, the older security guard saw that Lin Qiu looked polite and didn't look like someone deliberately paddling a car, so he asked him the exact time when he came back last night, and then adjusted the monitoring at that time to see, and then he would know .

Lin Qiu hurriedly said that he came back last night with his friends and took his car...

The owner of the car snorted coldly, "Is it just a temporary excuse? The surveillance can't capture what the people in the car look like, so you said you counted when you came back by car?"

"I can find someone to testify, my friend, come back with me..."

"Your friend, of course I can testify for you. I can also ask my friend to testify that he saw you rowing my car."

Hurt by the car owner's strange anger, Lin Qiu was speechless. He looked at the time, and if he didn't catch the subway, he would be late for the interview.

"If you pay, how much will it be?"

"Heh, you finally admitted that you made it? My car needs to be appraised by a 4S shop, and the paint has to be imported. I guess... [-] won't run away anyway."

"Twenty thousand?"

Lin Qiu gasped. He has been unemployed for three months. If he couldn't pay the rent, he wouldn't have the cheek to ask Shen Jiaming for help...

"I, I don't have that much money."

"You can't get [-] yuan? You haven't asked for other compensation yet."

The other party looked at Lin Qiu with disdain, "So why are you rowing my car? What are you pretending to do if you don't have money! Ah, I see, what about hating the rich?"

The security guard took a look at the man, then turned to Lin Qiu and asked, "Sir, look, if it's convenient for you, ask your friend for a video from the driving recorder, and see if it was captured when you got in the car. , There is also time on it, and you can prove it by looking at what clothes you are wearing when you come back."

Lin Qiu snorted, and then remembered that the friend he had said several times that he could find a friend to testify was Shen Jiaming.

Lin Qiu let out a long sigh.

He suddenly didn't know whether he should be thankful that he could escape, or worry about how to speak to Shen Jiaming.

As a result, he was troubled all afternoon, mustered up his courage, but lost the ability to wink.

Mistakes, missteps.

Lin Qiu was wrapped in the quilt when he heard the sound of the door closing from the entrance.

"Lin Qiu, I'm back."

Lin Qiu hurriedly got out of bed and ran over with his slippers on. He didn't care whether he could smile normally or not. When facing Shen Jiaming, his eyes were so bent that he could hardly see anyone.

"I'm sorry, Shen Jiaming, I forgot today that you were going on a blind date, so I went to find you..."

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

The light source in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Shen Jiaming's tall figure covered him. He was too close, and there was a cold and fragrant smell.

Lin Qiu was no stranger to that scent, and Shen Jiaming's female companion tonight had the same scent.

I don't know how close they are tonight, that scent lingers for a long time, even being brought back by Shen Jiaming, Lin Qiu's heart suddenly sinks.

Shen Jiaming raised his face and asked him twice what happened to his eyes, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and did not answer.

Finally, Shen Jiaming suddenly laughed, and scratched Lin Qiu's chin with his index finger, comforting him like teasing a puppy.

"You're angry?"

"Huh?" Lin Qiu recovered and looked up at him.

"I said you were troublesome today, are you angry?"

"Ah, that..." There was another long silence, "No, I'm not angry."

Lin Qiu answered very seriously, Shen Jiaming was just telling the truth, if he was angry, it would be useless to be angry at himself.

"By the way, why are you looking for me today?"

"I……"

As soon as Lin Qiu got started, he couldn't continue, thinking of Shen Jiaming's words in the afternoon.

[So troublesome. 】

I'm not a bother.

I don't even want to be regarded as a trouble by you, Shen Jiaming.

"I don't want to bother you all the time, it's nothing."

"Sure enough, you mind very much, duplicity."

Shen Jiaming rubbed Lin Qiu's head, his tone was rare and gentle, "It's okay, just tell me, no matter what, I will help you."

The thirsty and hot traveler in the desert still got the rain.

Shen Jiaming's sudden gentleness always makes people want to cry.

Although as a friend, Lin Qiu always troubled Shen Jiaming constantly, but he couldn't repay him anything. He hadn't been abandoned or forgotten for so many years. Even though he was indifferent to others, he still kept a tenderness for himself.

He still didn't reject himself, but Lin Qiu was unwilling to speak.

A person's patience will always run out, and a sage can't bear to bother the other party again and again, so as long as he doesn't bother the other party anymore, he should be able to continue to be friends, right?

Lin Qiu, who has never received much love, has always been regarded as a superfluous person in the past 28 years. The thing he fears most is being rejected by others.

When the family gathered together, no one was particularly alienated from him, but he felt like an outsider inexplicably. That was a happy and harmonious family of three. Who was he?

It's better not to be born into this world at all, maybe my mother will be happier. Compared with taking so many hard roads with him, wouldn't she be able to achieve happiness sooner without the oil bottle of herself?

Lin Qiu thought about it many times. Before meeting Shen Jiaming, he doubted the meaning of his existence from time to time.

At night, I often feel uncomfortable crying under the quilt, but I dare not make too much noise for fear of being heard, so I rub the quilt on my face hard, it becomes difficult to breathe, tears can't flow, and even the sadness is gone.

So when I never think that I am qualified to be treated gently by others, when I receive a little warmth, I want to return it back with all my strength.

I am like a helpless and lonely little animal whose bone marrow is frozen through the ice field. Shen Jiaming is the sun hanging high in the sky, brilliant and dazzling. Lin Qiu seeks warmth and leans against it. For a long time, Shen Jiaming is his only source of light.

It's good to be able to absorb a period of warmth. Thinking about it this way, I have liked him for eight years.

In these eight years, which is not short, there were times when he was abandoned and forgotten. Lin Qiu thought, Shen Jiaming is a gentle person, but there are too many people who are greedy for his gentleness. If he seeks a relationship, he will not be ranked at all, how can he expect that his sun will only shine on him.

It shouldn't be, of course not.

However, the sun may not have thought that Lin Qiu, who can heal himself even if he is hurt, or someone who just stays on without taking care of him, also has wounds that cannot be touched.

Like, being treated as a nuisance, and then dismissed or something.

Lin Qiu didn't want to say it, but Shen Jiaming knew that he wouldn't come looking for him for no reason, and in the end it was almost like forcing a confession, so he emphasized his tone and asked about the injustice that happened today.

After hearing this, Shen Jiaming yelled at him angrily, "Did that person punch you for nothing?"

"Because he swung over suddenly at that time, I couldn't react at all and was..."

Shen Jiaming picked up Lin Qiu's key from the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and opened the door with a grim expression. Lin Qiu wanted to stop him, but Shen Jiaming frowned and gave him a look, "Don't worry about it, I'll deal with it."

Naturally, Lin Qiu would not doubt Shen Jiaming's ability to handle affairs, but he just thought of the tall and strong figure of the owner of the car, and he was afraid that the other party would get angry and get rough on Shen Jiaming.

The door was locked, and Lin Qiu couldn't get out without a key, so he sat on the floor of the entrance and waited. After an unknown amount of time, footsteps came from the door, and the door opened again, followed by that person behind Shen Jiaming.

It was completely different from the fierce expression in the morning, the man kept nodding at him with a smile, "I'm sorry, little brother, I was too anxious in the morning, I offended you, I'm really sorry."

Lin Qiu was stunned by the man's apology, and didn't know what to say. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shen Jiaming who was leaning against the wall with a grin.

"This..." The man handed Lin Qiu an envelope, "This is a little compensation from me. The little brother went to buy supplements or something to replenish his body. Let's forget what happened today."

After a while, he leaned forward, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

The man nodded and bowed to please Lin Qiu, which made Lin Qiu's skin crawl. He waved his hand and returned the envelope to the man, "I can't take this."

"No, no, I should compensate you for this! You keep it, you must take it!"

Lin Qiu was embarrassed, the envelope was not thin, he was just punched by him, he couldn't be greedy for him to pay him so much, and he would be fine with a word of apology.

As a result, Shen Jiaming said softly, "Just take it, you can't finish this matter if you don't take it."

The man's flattering smile turned into a wry smile, begging Lin Qiu to accept the envelope.

Lin Qiu hesitated and said yes, I forgive you, and then asked him if the person who rowed the car was found, and the person replied if he hadn't, but Shen Jiaming looked over and immediately changed his words, "I found it, I found it Don't worry, little brother!"

Shen Jiaming entered the room, and Lin Qiu handed him the envelope.

"This money?"

"He compensated you, what will you do for me?"

"How did you handle it, why did he come to apologize?"

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, "That attitude is really different from that in the morning."

"That man is an upside-down guy. He works in a company owned by his wife's family. He has no skills himself, so he depends on his wife to support him." Shen Jiaming poured a glass of water and drank it down. "It just so happens that we invested in them not long ago." company."

"Oh……"

Lin Qiu nodded knowingly, "So if you said he apologized, would you just say something nice for him?"

"How is it possible? He hit you out of nowhere. It's fine if I didn't fight back. How could I help him?"

Shen Jiaming looked at him strangely, "I told him, if he doesn't apologize to you, he will tell his father-in-law that he framed you for rowing his car. He holds a high position in the company. Question the character and ability of their management, and then there will be no need to talk about investment in the future.”

"He has a problem with his character. Just help him and retire early."

Lin Qiu looked at Shen Jiaming, looked into his bright eyes, his heart was slightly occupied by a feeling of happiness, the man said something again, Lin Qiu blushed in a panic, and nodded in embarrassment that he understood.

"Hey, since he's paid compensation, you're about the same. Don't eat instant noodles anymore. It's not good for your health at all. You can take out all the things in my refrigerator and eat them. You're welcome."

Even though he thought that he had put his downcast side in front of Shen Jiaming, he still refused to give up the last bit of self-esteem, secretly hid in the room and ate wholesale instant noodles, and took the finished lunch box out when he went out for interviews. It is not lost in a public space such as the living room or kitchen.

Unexpectedly, he still knew.
