time for sysyphus

In the early hours of the morning, the night is dark and hazy, and the whole world is as silent as a deep sleep.

Perhaps because of the stamina of the medicine, Ji Zhongnian woke up after two or three hours of sleep, his head was dizzy and groggy, and his temples on both sides were so painful that they wanted to explode.

He groaned, trying to sit up and look for some water to drink, only to find that his hand was pressed by something and he couldn't move——

Lin Si was pillowed on his arm, curled up in a round ball, and was sleeping peacefully.

This kid's soft black hair is darker than ink, and his skin is as white as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun. It is covered with shocking hickey marks and bruises, like exclusive marks painted on it by someone. Full of indescribable sexy and provocative taste.

After staring intently for a moment, Ji Zhongnian's protruding Adam's apple rolled, and those intense memories just now flooded into his swollen brain...

He went to Rings.

In an instant, the man's half-closed eyes darkened, and he tried to pull out his forearm, which was numb from the pillow, but with a slight movement, the shallow Lin Si was awakened by accident.

Rubbing his blurred eyes, Lin Si saw the person in front of him clearly, then knelt and sat up like an obedient lamb, but whenever he made a movement, the place behind him hurt badly.

"hiss......"

He frowned slightly, and pressed his waist to ease the force. When he raised his hand, he could see a circle of red and purple strangle marks on his wrist, which was similar to the "culprit" who was thrown beside them. ——Ji Zhongnian's belt is inseparable.

There were still obvious bruises on the tender knee joints, which were left when Ji Zhongnian pressed his legs with his palms just now, and the force was enough to make Lin Si feel pain when he did all the knee-bending exercises this week.

Ji Zhongnian stared at it for a while, and his heart twisted for some unknown reason. The pain was fleeting, and it caused him to feel... a feeling of guilt that was rare in a thousand years.

What's mixed with it is that the full and glamorous atmosphere just now has not completely dissipated, and the warmth and desire of touching each other's skins is still like a lingering aftertaste, entrenched between them for a long time, making people unconsciously aftertaste.

This situation is really difficult to ride, Ji Zhongnian hesitated, not knowing what to say, so his expression became very uncomfortable.

"What about us... tonight..."

Lin Si looked at him silently and waited quietly for him to finish speaking. This look seemed a little pitiful and well-behaved, so well-behaved that anyone who saw him would feel pity.

This made Ji Zhongnian even more unsure how to face him, so he took off the watch in his hand in a daze, threw it beside Lin Si, and said to him dryly: "...Take it."

Lin Si didn't quite understand.

The dial of this watch is studded with diamonds, and it is almost engraved with the four characters of "very valuable". It is a high-end luxury that no one can afford even if they save a lifetime.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin Si understood what the other party meant.

"A watch again?"

"Ah."

Lin Si picked up the watch and held it in his hand. Ji Zhongnian gave him such an expensive thing, but there was no joy in his eyes.

After a while, he turned his eyes away and said to the generous and generous Ji Ershao: "Thank you, I didn't think I was worth the price."

Probably, Ji Zhongnian thought that all the good he had done could be repaid with a famous watch.Like what happened in the slums, or what happened tonight.

Instead of being relieved, the atmosphere became more and more frozen. Ji Zhongnian's feeling of guilt did not ease at all, and he even lost the ability to look directly at Lin Si.

He covered his mouth with his hands, and coughed twice to hide the panic in his heart, "Or...you can want other compensation, money, car, house...what do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you .”

For businessmen, the business of equivalent exchange is the most real.

In Ji Ershao's eyes, Lin Si is a poor boy from a slum. For this kind of person, there is no condition that cannot be solved with money.

——Even if it’s selling ass once.

What he said sounded nice, like Lin Si could get whatever he wanted.But Lin Si didn't speak, he sat with his back to Ji Zhongnian, a drop of crystal liquid slipped across his trembling chin, and dripped silently on the carpet.

The liquid dazzled a fingernail-sized water stain, which was so subtle that it was hidden from Lin Si's vision, and only he saw it.

In fact, he hoped that Ji Zhongnian could see it too, so maybe he would give him a little sympathy, and then ask him what's wrong and if he is sad.

But how should he answer?

Tell me, who will believe it.What he knew about their past, or their future, could not convince the other party at all.

The maximum is self-pity, otherwise you can cry and swear, and say to Ji Zhongnian, "We have loved each other before, you can't insult my love for you like this"?

In the silence, Lin Si, who didn't dare to cry, bit his lower lip until it turned white, and lowered his head, only then could he bear the moisture in his eyes.

Ji Zhongnian didn't speak, the awkwardness between them was suffocating.

If this goes on, it will only become more embarrassing. Lin Si didn't want each other to be unable to say a word, so he took the initiative to make a fool of himself, and put that sparkling watch on his hand, as if treating it as a piece of Treasures that were finally exchanged.

He turned himself into that disgusting pervert again, hooked his leg around Ji Ershao's waist and rubbed it: "Then I want to be Young Mistress Ji."

"roll."

"Why not? I like you. I don't need to take your watch or your money. I don't want your car or house. Just give me a title."

Linston paused, and finally added, "Or, just say that you like me."

What he said sounded very casual, but none of them were jokes, especially the word "like", which was said by Lin Si while pulling his palm, trembling unnoticed.

—— Say "like" to listen, I waited for a long time.

Ji Zhongnian had quit smoking for a long time, but now he felt like a smoker, with an inexplicable irritability and difficulty in controlling himself, he opened his mouth halfway and closed it again.

Just saying two words can replace "sorry" and "thank you", which is actually a very simple and cost-effective thing.

However, he took a deep breath, brushed the messy hair on his forehead, frowned, and said without emotion: "I don't deal with people who don't expect anything in return. I like to have contacts, which are profitable." .Don't say anything meaningless."

meaningless.

Lin Si understood the meaning in it, and just answered him meaninglessly: "I want your heart, this is my greatest benefit."

In his previous life and in this life, his love for Ji Zhongnian was not pure, it was tainted with the stench of copper, and it was also full of love for Ji Zhongnian.

But this liking is actually very pure, so pure that in the end there is only desire and love for Ji Zhongnian, other than that, everything else is optional.

——Such pure and impure love permeated from Lin Si's sincere eyes, fluffy and overflowing like flour in the whole study, every corner was there, making Ji Zhongnian who was in it unavoidable.

He rolled his eyes, got up and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Lin Si, you'd better... go back to your room."

The next day, the bright red sun still rose from the east, and some people stayed up all night.

There are many things that can't be passed by just sleeping. When they close their eyes and open them, their brains will still put this matter in the most prominent position in their hearts.

Both Ji Zhongnian and Lin Si tacitly chose to hide this matter. Of course, Ji Zhongnian chose actively, while Lin Si chose passively.

They never mentioned it, just pretending that nothing happened that night, but there must be a cause and an effect, and some subtle changes are quietly happening——

Ji Zhongnian seemed to have a heart for Lin Si.

This change was first discovered by the housekeeper, Uncle Dong.

He has a thick notepad, because he is afraid that he will be forgetful when he gets old, so he usually records everything that the second young master has explained in it, and ticks what he has done, so as to prevent himself from missing something.

And recently, Uncle Dong's notepad has added various entries, all of which are trivial things that have never appeared before, for example——

"Try not to arrange housework and work for Mr. Lin, and let him have more rest time (Mr. Lin likes to sleep late, and his schedule is about 8 hours)"

"Mr. Lin's taste preferences: spicy, slightly sweet, like cucumber, pork ribs, snow peas, and various stews. Remind the chef to pay attention."

"The guest room is not well ventilated. When arranging for the servants to clean it, remember to help Mr. Lin open more windows in the room."

"The weather is getting colder, order some more thick clothes for Mr. Lin (asterisk: if Mr. Lin asks, he will say that every servant has them)"

"Put a can of sugar in Mr. Lin's room (Mr. Lin has a slight hypoglycemia, and if he finds that he is unwell, he should tell the second young master in time)"

"..."

And so on, without going into details.

——In just one week, Uncle Dong’s small notebook was densely packed, and there were a lot of things that should be paid attention to in daily life.

All the details were explained to him verbally by Ji Zhongnian, mostly about how to take good care of that Mr. Lin.Moreover, the second young master seemed to be very concerned about these matters, and would ask Uncle Dong every now and then if he had done well.

When Uncle Dong is old, he used to worry about Ji Ershao, but now he has to worry about Mr. Lin, so tired that he even has a few more gray hairs on his sideburns.

But Uncle Dong is happy again, because he knows that the Second Young Master is being subtly changed...

This change is good.
