crime of blindness

After Shen Ji left Bailuting that day, he went straight back to Fengguang to make plans for the coming year alone, and after making all the work arrangements, he booked a plane ticket to go home.Years ago, almost no one was still thinking about work, and Shen Ji didn't show anything unusual, even the careful Xiao Xie didn't notice that he was frustrated emotionally.

Shen Ji's adoptive parents live in the south, they have a big family and are quite influential in the local area.The adoptive father was also surnamed Shen, named Shen Quansui, and the same surname contributed to the establishment of the adoption relationship back then.However, the adoptive father is busy and doesn't have much time at home. Before Shen Ji went to university, he mostly lived with his adoptive mother Wu Xin.

Shen Ji came back early, and gave red envelopes to her adoptive parents as usual.The family is not short of money, but since he started working in his junior year, he has been giving red envelopes every year.The adoptive parents respect him, and if he gives, they will take everything.It's just that the red envelopes he gave increased year by year. Last year, the amount was too large. Finally, the adoptive father couldn't bear to remind him that if this happened again next year, he would not accept it.

He understood the meaning of the elders, and did not continue to rise this year.It doesn't make any difference to the Shen and Wu families whether they have more money or less, but he was raised by them, so he must do his best.

Since he came back early, entertainment was indispensable.Fortunately, Wu Xin understood his temperament, and didn't call him for any family dinners or group dinners, and told him to rest at home, but just asked casually: "Why didn't you come back with Xiaofeng?"

Shen Ji suddenly looked embarrassed, "He still has something to do in Huicheng, I'm not busy, so I'll be back first."

Wu Xin didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile: "We'll still spend New Year's Eve at home. There are a lot of things in the kitchen today. If you're bored staying alone, you can go and help."

Shen Ji nodded, "I will."

Their family does this every year during the Spring Festival. Before New Year's Eve, Wu Xin and Shen Quansui deal with the entire Shen family. They will be at home on the [-]th day, and Wu's relatives will come over and bring their children.The children have all grown up over the years, and it is almost impossible to get together again.However, Shen Ji didn't have much contact with other brothers and sisters, but he had a good relationship with He Fengye, it didn't matter whether they were on good terms or not.

After lunch, Shen Ji went to help in the kitchen.Although I have stewed a lot of fish fillets recently, it is a convenience food after all. When I saw the battle of serious cooking, Shen Ji had a headache. I couldn’t help, but I made a few messes. A crock pot was broken and an egg was broken a bag.The cook finally couldn't stand him, and coaxed him out with a smile, "Mr. Shen, you'd better go upstairs and read a book."

Knowing that she was rejected, Shen Ji turned her head three times and finally said goodbye to her short career as a chef.After returning to his room, he found several books, but he couldn't read any of them.Free time is a torment for people who are used to being busy, and they don't know what to do without work.

Shen Ji picked up the phone, wanting to see if there are any work emails that he forgot to deal with.But those who send work emails to others during Chinese New Year are all animals. There are only a bunch of blessings in the mailbox, and no one is willing to be an animal.He looked at the work group again, Xiao Xie and the others were giving out small red envelopes, which only cost a few dollars when they were opened, and a group of people were still having a great time grabbing them.

He frowned, not understanding what's so good about it.Simply throw away ten red envelopes, and reap the screen-like kneeling and "boss atmosphere".The screen suddenly became beaming, and he felt that grabbing red envelopes was boring, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Chinese people like to celebrate the New Year, probably because in this short half month, all setbacks can be temporarily let go.

Shen Ji felt relieved, and threw red envelopes into all the project groups.

There are several groups for Script Killing Variety Show. He originally only joined the earliest planning group, and he did not join the groups connected with various offline stores. It was said in it that when the red envelope was just thrown in, everyone in the "Blind Crime" was shocked, no one dared to grab it, and it was Xiao Xie who grabbed it and shouted: "You don't want any money, are you stupid?"

Bai Yu happened to be watching the group, and was a little surprised when he confirmed that the red envelope was sent by Shen Ji.According to the average speed of this group grabbing red envelopes, when he was overwhelmed with surprise, the red envelopes would have been gone long ago, but everyone was quick-eyed and slow-handed at the moment. Once he poked in, he became the king of luck, 95.3 yuan!

He snatched nearly half of the 200 yuan red envelope by himself, and the group howled.Bai Yu was also quite surprised. He often participated in the red envelope game, but he was always unlucky.This 95.3 is the pinnacle of his red envelope grabbing career so far, and it is likely to be difficult to surpass.

He subconsciously took a screenshot.

After grabbing the red envelopes, everyone lined up to thank Mr. Shen.Bai Yu swiped the screen, but Shen Ji never appeared again, which was in line with his usual cold and reserved image.

But now Bai Yu can't equate the Shen Ji he met for the first time with the Shen Ji who he always sees a side that he doesn't know.The exquisite suit is just the armor of Mr. Shen, and the people inside the armor will be at a loss and lost, and there are some strange little habits, which make Mr. Shen look soft.

No wonder such a suit of armor is needed.

After the unilateral "encounter" at Bailuting, Bai Yu never saw Shen Ji again.When Shen Ji left, his back was straight and his steps were like the wind, but he could guess that Shen Ji must not be feeling well, otherwise he wouldn't abruptly order a steamed cake that shouldn't be served at noon.

Eating sweets will make you feel better.At that time, was Shen Ji so uncomfortable that he had to eat a dessert to catch his breath?

Bai Yu looked at Shen Ji's profile picture, hesitated for a while, and sent the screenshot of the red envelope.

It wasn't because Shen Ji was cold and reserved that he didn't appear in the group anymore, he stopped watching the group after giving out the red envelopes, and was staring out the window in a daze.This villa is located on a mountain in the outskirts of the city. There is a large manor next to the lake, and the environment is very quiet.Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the study, plum blossoms are dotted among the evergreen trees, which are somewhat similar to the courtyard of Bailuting.

He thought of his favorite food in Bailu Court - steamed cake with coconut and egg yolk.

I don't know if there is any dessert shop here that can do it.Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If you don't go to the city to look for it today, you will have to wait for several days before you can eat it when the shops are closed for the holiday.But even if you drive to the city center now, you may not be able to find the same model.

Shen Ji was hesitating when he received a message from Bai Yu.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for the big red envelope. Happy New Year. Are you still working?"

Shen Ji quickly put down the phone, a little surprise flickered in his eyes, and a little heat welled up on his cheeks.

He hadn't been in touch with Bai Yu for a while, and it was a long time ago when he met. When he was busy, he didn't have time to care about the embarrassment that happened. He even discussed Bai Yu with Ning An in the middle.Ning An mistakenly believed that he and Bai Yu were in a relationship, and he firmly said that Bai Yu was not his ideal type.

But these calmness is only because he and Bai Yu have not spoken again.All embarrassment does not exist without contact.But he hadn't forgotten about the video call.

"The other party is typing" hung on the dialog box for a long time, Bai Yu didn't quit, just waited.He had a very annoying day today, both the Bai family and the Xiao family urged him to go back to Tuannian, and he didn't want to go back to either side. A shop like "Blind Sin" is waiting for the holidays to make a fortune, and only has half a day off in the morning of the first day of the new year. As the boss, he simply lives in the shop.

But his parents and elders still kept going, so Xiao Wei gave him a phone call.He was annoyed by this, so when he snatched Shen Ji's red envelope, his mood brightened.

Shen Ji was nervously thinking about what to say.Bai Yu's message is quite normal, first thank you for the red envelope, and then say New Year's greetings.But why is there a sentence in the back that is still working?

Shen Ji recalled getting along with Bai Yu roughly two times related to work. The first time was when Bai Yu didn't agree to change the script, and the second time was when Bai Yu didn't want to make up the scene.They are all "passive sabotage".

In Shen Ji's eyes, Bai Yu can be classified as a "lazy employee".People who don't usually like to work, will they still worry about work when the Chinese New Year is coming soon?That's definitely not the case, so it's impossible for Bai Yu to really come to talk about work.

Shen Ji swallowed, and judged that the last sentence was an introduction, and Bai Yu wanted to tell him something else.But there's nothing else to say between them, Bai Yu has apologized for getting angry, and he has not yet apologized for the video.He organized his words carefully, lest Baiyu would not mention which pot.

After watching "typing" for ten minutes, Bai Yu finally waited for a reply.Shen Ji: "I also wish you a happy new year. I'm not working anymore."

Following this message is an emoticon package, [Anyone who wants to work now is a beast.jpg].

Bai Yu clicked his tongue, what does Teacher Shen mean?Call him a beast, or mistakenly think that he was called a beast?There was still "typing" hanging on the box, and Bai Yu was about to say something when he saw that the emoji had been withdrawn.

Shen Ji regretted it a little, he saw the emoji pack in the group and secretly saved it.He only has the emoji package that comes with the system, and the only one is [All those who still want to work are beasts.It was withdrawn after a few seconds.

Bai Yu replied: "Huh?"

Shen Ji sent a smiling face, "Sorry, I made a mistake just now."

Bai Yu didn't even think about it, "Wrong order again?"

Seeing the word "you", Shen Ji was still dazed at first, but when he realized it, he gasped.Bai Yu was talking to him about the video!

A few minutes later, Bai Yu received a formal explanation in words—"Mr. Bai Yu, I solemnly apologize for sending you a video application. I was in a bad mood because of working all night, and I pressed the video call by mistake. It was not intentional. Let you see the indecent side. Please forgive me."

Bai Yu was funny and helpless, but he never thought it was indecent.Just now he just said again unintentionally, how could he expect such a long explanation from Mr. Shen. The "typing" also disappeared, and Mr. Shen probably put down his phone after sending it, and didn't dare to look at it again.

After all, Bai Yu was engaged in creation, and after thinking about it for a while, he could picture Shen Ji's appearance at this time in his mind.Clenching his fists in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed, his usual image was quite different, but unexpectedly cute.

It turned out that this matter was still stuck in Teacher Shen's mind. Bai Yu thought about it, and formally replied: "Mr. Shen Ji, the apology has been received. I believe your explanation, but I need to correct one point, you are not indecent in any way. Exposed, have fun."

When the news came in, Shen Ji glanced carefully, and didn't pick up the phone to read it until he had changed out of his clothes, then heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "You are happy too."

Bai Yu didn't reply any more. After playing a guest role as an NPC at night, he saw Shen Ji updated a personal post. The picture showed desserts. Shen Ji said: There is only steamed chestnut cake, no coconut egg yolk, and it is still delicious from Bailuting.

"Why are you laughing and hiding here alone?" Zhan Meng personally pulled a cart of takeaways, "Show me too."

Bai Yu took back the phone, "It's up to you."

The employees who took a break came over to have a barbecue. Zhan Meng didn't drive for a while and drank some wine. "Aren't you going back this year?"

Bai Yu shook his head, with a cigarette in his hand.

"Let's go out and relax." Zhan Meng said: "Believe it or not, if you don't leave, your family will chase you here in a few days to catch you."

Bai Yu laughed, "That will affect the business."

"So you should hurry up and find a place to stay."

Bai Yu's eyes sank slightly, and he drank most of the glass of wine, "I'm thinking about where to go."

Zhan Meng said: "Didn't that public welfare organization invite you every year? Why don't you go and see, the conditions in those places are a bit poor, but the air is good..."

Shen Ji went around the city center in the afternoon, and was taken around by the Dianping app, but he couldn't find the steamed cake with coconut egg yolk in the end.When I went home at night, my adoptive parents also came back. Wu Xin had a sad look on her face. After Shen Ji asked, she found out that He Fengye had come out to her family on the phone. Now the chickens are flying like dogs jumping.

Wu Xin asked Shen Ji if she knew about this, Shen Ji shook his head, explained a few words and fled back to his room.

He Fengye only said before that he would go home on New Year's Eve, and he didn't mention coming out to his family, and his tone didn't sound like he would come out in the near future.Shen Ji thought, it was probably because of his confession that something went wrong with He Fengye, so he temporarily changed the plan.

He leaned against the wall, his heart was beating fast, and he was a little embarrassed.He didn't want to see He Fengye for the time being, let alone He Fengye's boyfriend, so he could only find a reason to leave before the second year of junior high school.Work was the best reason, but he was not good at lying, and his adoptive parents were looking forward to his return, so he left just like that, feeling very sorry.

At this time, a new email notification sound came from the mobile phone.It was sent by the "Distant Flame Project".

Because of his childhood experience, Shen Ji began to donate to "Huo Miao" after working, which is a non-profit organization that helps children in remote and poor areas, which is open and transparent.Every year during the Spring Festival, Shen Ji would receive the details and an invitation letter from "Huo Miao", asking them, the donors, to spend the New Year with the children who received the aid.

He has never been.

The hometown of the assisted child was written at the bottom of the email. Only then did he notice that the children he had been helping were in a village more than 400 kilometers away from home, and it didn’t take much time to drive back and forth.And he just needs such an "escape" time this year.
