time for sysyphus

The room was made of gray and black. Although the lights were not turned on, the moonlight came in from the window to illuminate an inch of the corner.

Ji Zhongnian hugged Lin Si's waist very hard, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

His breath had a slight smell of alcohol. Lin Si didn't like this pungent smell very much, but at this moment he sniffed it quietly, taking advantage of this opportunity when no one noticed, greedily absorbing the smell from Ji Zhongnian's body odor.

In the final analysis, Lin Si still has the shadow of an idiot. As long as it is about Ji Zhongnian, he can't help being obsessed and immersed, but now he hides it forcibly.

The next day, the sun was bright and comfortable, coming in through the slightly open gap in the curtains. When Lin Si woke up, he felt a chest as hard as an iron plate pressed against his chin.

Last night, Ji Zhongnian was like a big cat, with his long and fluffy tail curled up, he easily rolled Lin Si into his arms, and held Lin Si in this possessive position and slept all night.

Lin Si who woke up did not dare to move, for fear of waking Ji Zhongnian who was sleeping soundly, but when he was obediently still, he saw Ji Zhongnian's eyelids move with sharp eyes.

"..." Lin Si coughed twice, "Wake up and still pretend to be asleep?"

"I haven't woken up yet, I'm sleepy, let's sleep a little longer," the man's deep and slightly hoarse voice reached his ears, with a sexy laziness.

"But you should be sober, right?" Lin Si struggled twice and couldn't get away, patting the other's back for fear of being afraid, "Get up, the sun is drying your ass."

"Don't take random pictures, men in the early morning are easy to get burned."

"..."

Everyone was a man, and Lin Si immediately understood what Ji Zhongnian meant, and his neck turned red.

He knew that he should say "Stop being sentimental" against his will, but when Ji Zhongnian hugged him like this, he couldn't say a word that he wanted to hurt him.

Ji Ershao, pretending to be confused, pretended to be ignorant, and still kept the posture of embracing the other party motionless, refusing to leave on the bed that smelled like Linsi.

In fact, if you put aside all worries, this morning is the morning that Lin Si has longed for in his heart for a long time——

Waking up in Ji Zhongnian's arms, the first thing I saw was the sun and the face of my lover, wrapped in the familiar and safe atmosphere and body temperature, snuggling together in the soft and warm mattress.

Just as he was still immersed in this beautiful reverie, Ji Zhongnian came closer and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Lin Si froze almost instantly.

Ji Zhongnian didn't take it seriously, as if it was a very natural move, with a slight smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, he held down Lin Si's moving arm, enclosing him even more tightly in his private area, tenderly But possessive.

"Hey...enough is enough," Lin Si said with his ears turning red.

"Good morning." Ji Zhongnian said softly.

Probably the morning was so beautiful that it was the sweetest and most intoxicating morning that Lin Si had had in a long time.

Now his mind is full of Ji Zhongnian's sleepy eyebrows and warm smile, as well as that short but tender "Morning", which made him dizzy for a long time.

Even, he can temporarily put aside those attachments and worries, just want to stop in that short moment of love, and deceive himself a bit, like exchanging for a fleeting pleasure.

Both of them were in a better mood, and had breakfast after waking up. Although they didn't communicate much during the period and only sat at a corner of the dining table, even the housekeeper Dong Shu could see that the relationship between the two had eased a bit, so Like diluted honey water.

After breakfast, Ji Zhongnian went to work in the company, while Lin Si who stayed at home had nothing to do, so he went out to the garden and picked up his hobbies again——

Trim potted plants.

He has nothing good at it, except for gardening. He once thought that if he hadn't met Ji Zhongnian again and wanted to find a serious job in Dongcheng to make a living, then he would like to become a gardener.

I deal with flowers, plants and trees every day, and cultivate them into a vivid image, which is pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

"Are you very skilled, have you learned it before?" The little gardener, Awen, watched Lin Si pruning a bonsai in front of him to look decent, and thought that this is still a bit of craftsmanship.

Lin Si smiled and nodded, and said in a mysterious way: "Well, I have learned a little bit. Hey, if I say that I learned from you, would you believe it?"

"Huh? What and what? We didn't know each other before," Awen looked at him strangely.

It is true that Lin Si learned this skill from Ah Wen in his previous life. At that time, Ji Zhongnian was so jealous. Thinking about it now, those things are like things written in a calendar. It's gone in an instant.

"Really, don't you think my method is very similar to yours?"

"I said you are quite a joker."

Lin Si and Awen got along well, and the two talked and laughed in the garden for a whole day.

Together they trimmed the messy branches of the Podocarpus pine neatly. If you look closely, you can find that Lin Si's techniques are indeed similar to Awen's in many ways, such as the posture of backhand side cutting, holding pliers, and picking branches.

Awen noticed this from time to time, and gradually realized this, and asked Lin Si in surprise: "You...you won't be stealing my teacher all the time, right? The method is exactly the same as mine? It’s weird, I thought I was the only one cutting it like this.”

"Maybe we are really from the same school, and we have a good understanding." Lin Si didn't deny it or admit it, and it's quite interesting to use his ability to make fun of him occasionally.

While talking with Awen, he glanced at the carved door by accident, and his eyes suddenly stuck in a certain direction, because he saw a familiar face——

Tao Die.

Lin Si was stunned, and the scissors in his hand dropped to the ground.

It is no exaggeration to say that a chill ran down his spine in an instant.

Sure enough, this life is the same as the previous two lives, and the character's behavior pattern remains unchanged: Tao Die will still come to Ji Zhongnian, she will intercede with his husband Ji Xiao, and she will offend Ji Zhongnian again and again.

And she will once again become an important node in this cycle, and become the catalyst for all tragedies that happened later.

Thinking about sighing, Lin Si choked deep in his throat and let out a deep and painful sigh. He didn't even take the scissors that Awen picked up for him, but just looked at the carved door and the woman outside the door in a daze. .

After hesitating for a moment, he still walked towards Tao Die.

Clearly knowing that he should not interfere, because this is what Ji Zhongnian hates the most, but seeing Tao Die's appearance in the cold wind, with messy long hair and haggard face, Lin Si still couldn't help feeling pity.

"Ms. Tao, are you looking for Ji Zhongnian?"

Tao Die looked at Lin Si blankly, "You know me? But I haven't met you, are you...?"

In her impression, she didn't know the handsome man in front of her.

"I'm just an irrelevant person. You don't need to know who I am. I just want to tell you...Give up, Ji Zhongnian can't see you."

"I must see him today." Tao Die seemed unwilling to leave.

"It's not like you don't know his attitude towards your family, so why bother to hit the wall?" Lin Si said to her calmly, "However, you have come here, so you can choose to talk to me."

Tao Die looked at him with disbelief, but the security guard at the gate came over and whispered to Lin Si, Lin Si patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, she is my friend, what can I worry about?" on."

"I'm here to find Ji Zhongnian, if I talk to you—" Tao Die still doesn't understand Lin Si's intention.

"No harm to you."

Under Lin Si's persuasion, Tao Die finally agreed to talk to him.Because the wind was cold and fierce, they temporarily borrowed the courtyard behind the garden.

There is a European-style gazebo next to the flower garden. Lin Si and Tao Die are sitting facing each other, surrounded by rows of green plants. The environment is quiet and cool, and no one usually passes by.

"Ms. Tao, I know what you are here for, but Ji Zhongnian is unlikely to agree to you. He refuses to even meet you, so how can he listen to you? What's more, I advise you not to mess with him. "

"But... our family is desperate, I really have no other choice but to beg him," Tao Die bowed her head and sobbed with tears in her eyes.

Once again, she told Lin Si how Ji Xiao had nothing now, and how the family of three was in a mess, but Ji Zhongnian was still pressing them hard, so that they didn't even have a chance to breathe.

——Lin Si already knew these things, but he was really helpless.

He looked at the wife in front of him who was worried about her husband and family. He was silent for a while, and after thinking about it, he said, "Ms. Tao, please wait for me here."

"it is good......"

Lin Si went back to the house and brought a passbook, which contained money he had saved for a long time, some of which were hard-earned savings, and some that Ji Zhongnian forced him with various excuses. There are no more, no less savings in the days.

He handed the passbook to Tao Die, "There is some money in it, keep it."

Tao Die was completely stunned.

Lin Si said: "Your family left Dongcheng and went to find a place to hide. Ji Zhongnian's contacts will be much less after leaving Dongcheng. No matter how long his hand is, he can't reach that far. There is not much money in this passbook, but It is enough to support you to live a stable life for a few years, and in the days to come...you are self-reliant and stable, so don't come back again."

After hearing his words, Tao Die was even more puzzled. She took the passbook with trembling hands, looked at the amount inside, and couldn't believe that such a person she had never met before would lend a helping hand to her.

She was surprised: "We don't know each other, why do you want to...?"

"Why do you want to help you?" It is naturally impossible for Lin Si to explain the complicated reasons to her clearly, "Of course there are reasons, but you don't need to ask, and I am not helping you, but myself."

One thing after another in the cycle is like a rope that connects everyone and everything, and connects all causal relationships along the veins of time. Perhaps this is the butterfly effect.

——And Tao Die is a crucial node in it.

Lin Si pondered for a moment, and then said to her, "Ms. Tao, I swear on my life that this will do you no harm, and it is your only choice. At the same time, you must also understand that I did this for Ji Zhongnian's sake." And myself, not for you and your husband, so you don't need to thank me, just take the money and leave, it's that simple."

Every sentence is Lin Si's truth and sincerity.

He's not a selfless holy father, he's just someone who wants to turn things around.He didn't want to save Tao Die's mother and son, he just wanted to save himself and Ji Zhongnian.

"This..." Tao Die was still a little hesitant, in fact, it was because she didn't understand.

"Don't come to Ji Zhongnian again." Lin Si said this sentence very seriously.

After hesitating for a long time, Tao Die finally didn't ask any more questions. She stood up and bowed slightly to the man in front of her, "Well, can I ask your name?"

"My name is Lynce."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin."

These two people, Lin Si and Tao Die, actually don't know each other well, and these things they did were not for themselves, but for their loved ones.

Therefore, in their world, there has never been a clear right and wrong, only the principles and obsessions of the loved one, even if they stand on different positions from the beginning to the end, but at this moment, they have to Select Collaborate.

Because in the end, they are just two poor people who have to rely on each other to help them cross the boat.

"I'll take you out," Lin Si also stood up and said to Tao Die.

"Ah."

Lin Si led the negotiated Tao Die out of the pavilion path covered by dense green plants, intending to send Tao Die out of the gate along the original path.

However, they only took two steps, and as soon as they turned the corner in front of them, they were startled by a certain figure standing there.

"...Wei Ping?" Lin Si looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
