Too much

Do you want to admit it?

The tie was wrapped around his wrist, and the end went around the middle finger, and it just fit on the ring finger evenly, covering a small silver ring.

This is what Qi Jingchen said, and he was going to give it to him ten years ago, but he threw it out in the coffee shop in order to anger the man, but fortunately, he found it back in the end.

He didn't dare to wear it out, only dared to turn it out and wear it when he was sleeping at night, secretly, but Shen Zeming was very at ease.

He lightly stroked the ring with a smooth and cold surface. Qi Jingchen on the other end of the phone was patient and didn't rush, with some heavy breathing against the eardrum, Shen Zeming couldn't help but clenched the phone tightly.

After a while, he said, "Well, I brought it back."

At this time, he obviously calmed down a lot, and he was no longer being led away by Qi Jingchen, and his tone was a bit more adult, "I don't think you took it away, so I wonder if you forgot. How about this, when are you free?" , Come to my house and pick it up by the way."

One tie for another, no loss.

Thinking this way in his heart, Shen Zeming didn't show it on his face, and his voice could hardly hear any emotion, "What do you think, Mr. Qi?"

Qi Jingchen didn't speak, and hung up the phone quickly after a while.

Shen Zeming was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, Qi Jingchen's video call came in.

After hesitating for two seconds, he connected, and Qi Jingchen's handsome face, magnified several times, suddenly appeared on the screen.He smiled slightly and greeted Shen Zeming in a low voice.

The three words "good evening" suddenly became real. I haven't seen you for a few days, and I can't tell if it's shyness or something else. Shen Zeming lowered his eyes, slightly staggered his gaze, looked at the floor of the bedroom, and responded softly.

He only had one bedside lamp on, and the room was dimly lit, not really ideal for video.

The light was warm yellow, and half of Shen Zeming's face was dizzy in the soft light circle. He lowered his eyes and covered his chest with the quilt. The exposed skin still had traces from the previous few days. Under the warm yellow light, it was dark and dull. ambiguous.

Qi Jingchen stared there for a few seconds, suddenly, a touch of dark blue flashed past his eyes.

He hooked his lips, stared straight at Shen Zeming, and the words he was about to blurt out became: "Where's the tie? Can Teacher Shen let me see it?"

Hearing this, Shen Zeming's breathing was stagnant, and the hands behind his back subconsciously wanted to hide under the quilt.

He couldn't help sitting up straight, his nose began to sweat coldly, and he turned his head a little flustered, "Do you have to watch it now? The tie isn't in the bedroom."

"Hmm." Qi Jingchen seemed a little unreasonable, "I can't sleep if I don't see it, does Mr. Shen want me to lose sleep?"

Shen Zeming didn't want Qi Jingchen to lose sleep, and at the same time, he didn't want the owner of the tie to spy on his sneaky behavior.

It's like a thief being caught on the spot. Although the owner can't do anything to him now, Shen Zeming can't. He can almost imagine Qi Jingchen's playful eyes and ironic words.

It was humiliation, and it was outright ridicule.

"Okay." Shen Zeming frowned slightly, feigned displeasure, put down his phone and got out of bed, "I'll show you."

He stepped out of the bedroom with his slippers on, closed the door, stood at the door, and untied the tie around his wrist.

The tie has been wrapped around his hands for the past few nights, and it is no longer the flat appearance when he took it back, it is crumpled and the surface is full of wrinkles.

He spread the tie flat on the dining table, and stroked it several times with his hands, but it was all in vain.

In the end, there was nothing he could do. Shen Zeming took a deep breath, held his tie resignedly, pushed open the door and walked in.

He stayed outside for a long time, about 10 minutes, but Qi Jingchen didn't hang up the video, Shen Zeming picked up the phone, maybe because of a guilty conscience, he switched the camera to the rear, and pointed the phone at the tie spread out on the bed.

Qi Jingchen in the small frame leaned down slightly, as if the tie was really stretched out in front of his eyes, looked carefully, and suddenly gave a "tsk".

Qi Jingchen couldn't see him, but he could see Qi Jingchen, so it was easy to catch dissatisfaction on the other's face.

Shen Zeming's nerves tensed immediately, "Is there a problem?"

Qi Jingchen said, "What did Teacher Shen do to my tie?"

Suddenly, Shen Zeming blushed and threw the phone violently.

Just a simple question made Shen Zeming so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole on the spot and hide in it.

If Qi Jingchen finds out that he even used his tie to prosecute himself, then——Shen Zeming can't imagine.

"Why don't you speak?"

Qi Jingchen's voice was full of laughter, and the voice came from afar. Shen Zeming leaned against the mattress, covered his ears and squatted down, his breathing was short of breath, and the roots of his ears were red as if they were about to bleed.

At this time, Qi Jingchen smiled lightly, and said slowly, "Mr. Shen..." With a "snap", Shen Zeming hung up the video.

Qi Jingchen's voice disappeared from his ears, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pressed and long turned off the phone, and leaned back on the mattress to breathe heavily.

Three minutes later, Shen Zeming stood up, and the crumpled tie came into view, as if it was scalded. He quickly threw the tie off the bed, climbed onto the bed and pulled up the quilt to cover his eyes.

Shame.

.The next morning, Shen Zeming got up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. Because of the video call last night, he didn't sleep well all night. When he got up this morning and saw the tie he threw under the bed, he felt a little guilty.

In any case, this tie has done something with him, and it shouldn't be treated like this anyway.

He picked up the tie, carefully put it into a beautiful bag, and took her to the nearest dry cleaner after washing.

When the proprietress of the dry cleaning shop heard Shen Zeming's request, she looked up at him in surprise, but she didn't say anything, just nodded in response.

There were not many customers in the dry cleaning shop at eight or nine o'clock. Seeing that Shen Zeming was in a hurry, the proprietress helped him with dry cleaning and ironing first.

After some manipulations, the tie returned to its original state, and the new, flat one was packed in a bag. Shen Zeming took the tie home and put it away before going out to school.

Today the Municipal Education Bureau was going to conduct a teaching quality inspection, and Shen Zeming was extremely busy as a head teacher. When he received a call from Qi Jingchen, he was having a meeting with other head teachers in the small conference room of the administration building.

He didn't have the guts to answer the phone under the noses of the director general and the school leaders, so he sent a message.

In a few seconds, Qi Jingchen also returned to him.

"It's fine if Mr. Shen is not free, I just want to come and get my tie."

Seeing this message, Shen Zeming inevitably thought of the video call that he hung up abruptly last night. It might be because of guilt or shame. He subconsciously didn't want to meet Qi Jingchen.

So he told Qi Jingchen where the spare key was stored and where the tie was, and asked the other party to get it by himself.

At the same time, Qi Jingchen was already standing at the door of Shen Zeming's house. After receiving the message, he did not hesitate, found a spare key under the carpet at the door, opened the door and walked in.

Perhaps to make it easier for him to pick up things, the paper bag with the tie was placed in a very conspicuous place, Qi Jingchen walked over, opened the paper bag, glanced inside, and curled his lips.

It was unexpected for Shen Zeming to hang up the video first. He originally just wanted to make fun of it and get a few cheap words.

But he didn't expect Shen Zeming's reaction to be so violent, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, so he became more and more sure of the conjecture in his heart.

But now that the evidence had been destroyed, he had no choice but to look for some clues.

Qi Jingchen put down his tie, looked around, and went to Shen Zeming's bedroom first.

It's against the rules to walk around other people's homes without permission, but Qi Jingchen is not at all wary of an intruder.

He opened Shen Zeming's closet with great interest, tapped the rows of neatly hung clothes and trousers with his index finger, and finally closed the closet door disappointedly.

He went to the bathroom again, it was also cleaned very clean by Shen Zeming, nothing could be seen, and he couldn't find the answer he wanted.

Finally, Qi Jingchen went to the study.

Shen Zeming's study room is very small, with only one bookshelf and a desk, probably because there are few things, the study room looks empty.

Qi Jingchen walked around, but still didn't find anything. He walked to the window a little restlessly, stretched out his hand and opened the curtains that were still closed in broad daylight for some reason.

It was much brighter before Qi Jingchen opened the window, and the moment he lowered his head, a silver safe fell into his eyes.

Why did Shen Zeming hide a safe here?
