The selfish gene

Walking out of the bedroom in a bathrobe, he saw Ji Chenfeng taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves to feed the kitten.Compared to my flurry, he is skillful enough to award the "Gold Medal Dad" medal.

After the feeding, he carefully followed the kitten's back. I sat beside him and asked him what he was doing. He said he was hiccupping.

I pretended to nod my head, but I didn't understand what he was saying at all.

"Now that they are too small, they will breastfeed more frequently. When they get older, they can gradually increase the frequency of breastfeeding."

Ji Chenfeng didn't seem to have a good rest these days, his eyes were very red and bloodshot, the smell of cigarettes on his body was so strong that it seemed to be soaked in his bones, and even his voice was full of exhaustion.

"What's wrong?" Still stroking the kitten's back with his hand, he turned his head to look at me.

I stared too intently at his profile, which made him feel a little weird.

"What are you doing these days? Why are you so busy?"

"It's just... submitting resumes everywhere, and then interviewing." He staggered his eyes and didn't tell the truth.

I deliberately asked again: "Is it so hard to find a job now?"

He didn't say anything this time, just gave a soft "hmm".

It seems that my puppy still retains meaningless stubbornness, and has not learned to rely on me completely.

"If you're hungry, call room service yourself. I'll go to bed first."

After taking a bath and briefly replenishing his energy, his body was attacked by more intense sleepiness.Standing up, I yawned, ignored him, and walked to the bedroom.

This sleep lasted until the next morning, a full ten hours of sleep.After washing and walking out of the bedroom, the living room was quiet and pretty, and there was no sound at all.

I thought Ji Chenfeng had left, but when I looked at the sofa, I found that he was sleeping on the sofa with his coat on.The tall body curled up aggrievedly, wondering if he didn't sleep well, his brows furrowed slightly.

The windows are only drawn with tulle, so the interior is very bright.With my elbows resting on the back of the sofa, I propped my chin, looking down at Ji Chenfeng's sleeping face.From the heroic eyebrows, the straight nose, to the light-colored lips...

I haven't rested for the past few days, even the color of my lips is hard to see.As long as you tell me about Yan Shanhua's illness, besides money, you can obviously help him in more places, so why not tell me?

Is it amazing to resist yourself?Now that you have accepted my favor, what does it matter if you add more?I really don't understand him. At this time, I have to force unnecessary self-esteem in front of me.

I can feel at ease just like a piece of trash...

Thinking of this, he fiddled with Ji Chenfeng's hair with his fingers, unexpectedly waking him up.

The eyeballs trembled under the eyelids, and the brows frowned even tighter. After a while, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and he was full of dazedness when he first woke up.

I simply patted his cheek to wake him up completely.

"Wake up, Doctor Ji, the sun is shining on your butt."

His pupils gradually gained focus, he sat up rubbing his temples, and checked the time on the phone on the coffee table.

Turn on the capsule coffee machine, insert any capsule, and then call the room service department to order a Western-style breakfast. During this period, Ji Chenfeng got up and went to the bathroom, and soon there was the sound of water inside.

When the breakfast was delivered, he also came out after washing up.

"It's good to have you, otherwise I really don't know what to do by myself." I glanced at the messy pile on the coffee table and sighed.

Ji Chenfeng used the table knife as flexibly as a scalpel, and cut the sausage and eggs into sizes suitable for the entrance.

"At a later date, I will call my former colleagues to see if there are any female cats who have given birth to feed them."

After picking up the coffee, I asked, "Do you want to send them away?"

Ji Chenfeng lowered his eyes and said, "I may not be able to take care of them all the time."

"Because I'm looking for a job?" I took a sip of the coffee, and I put the cup back into the cup holder, making an obvious knocking sound.

"If I can't find a job for a day, I won't be able to pay you back for a day. I don't want that." He put the food into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and his thoughtful look was very different from the way he used to eat everything.

Isn't it just 30, is it necessary to not even eat well?

Thinking about waiting for him to say that he didn’t know the year of the monkey, I simply took the initiative: “Doctor Ji, it’s hard to find a good job now. Why don’t you work for me?” Tapping the body of the coffee cup with the tip of my right finger, I He suggested, "I have cats and tortoises here. If you take care of them, it should be the same as taking care of other people's cats and dogs outside, right? I will give you a monthly salary of [-] yuan, and you will be my private veterinarian. In this way... you don't have to In five years, the money owed to me will be paid off.”

At the same time, I can feel more at ease with him tied by my side, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

I think this is a good idea, but Ji Chenfeng doesn't seem to think so.

He stared at the plate in front of him, and after listening to my words, he stopped chewing and stopped moving.His lips were tightly pursed, and looking from the side, he looked like a humanoid ice sculpture that had been blown by a snowstorm.In simpler terms...he looked angry.

Looking back at what I said just now, I didn't find any point of anger that could not be tolerated.I gave him a suitable job, opened the door of convenience for him, and let him pay back my money with dignity, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Although in the past they would say that I was not a gentleman because I didn't consider the woman's feelings, but this time I don't think there is anything wrong with me.I have been considerate enough.

"Sang Nian..." After a long silence, Ji Chenfeng sighed, and finally looked up at me, "Don't pity me, I don't need that kind of thing. The last thing I need is pity and sympathy from others .”

When he said this, it was obvious that he had built a defensive ice wall between us, silently separating each other.

This is not a duplicity created by "like".He doesn't like it, doesn't like what I give, doesn't like me thinking about him like this.This is the first time since I have known him that he has explicitly expressed his "dislike".

When he sighed, I could even imagine his subtext. He was saying: "We are really different, you don't understand anything." He seemed to be saying: "I'm tired, please don't mind my own business."

His fingertips stuck to the cup stiffly, and he twitched uncontrollably twice. His heart and throat seemed to be stuck with egg yolk, and he choked so hard that he couldn't breathe.

I'm a little displeased—it should be displeased, it feels very similar, but I don't know why, the displeasure is mixed with some pain, as if... I was stung by his words.

However, he just declined my kindness, telling me not to sympathize with him. Why do I feel the sting?

Because this is my rare kindness that I actively handed over?

Yes, it should be this.It's rare for me to be so thoughtful and think of him everywhere, but he didn't accept my kindness and said he didn't need it.Really don't need it, but don't ask me to borrow money after all?

Every time my heart beats, I feel depressed, and I am stung by his ignorance.I was actually... stung by a guy who lived worse than a dog?

For a while, I couldn't tell whether it was Ji Chenfeng's unkind words to me that made me more angry, or the fact that I was stung by his words made me more angry.His head was blanked for a moment by the impact, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly got up.

"Then pretend I didn't say it. After you finish eating, go by yourself, and I won't send you off." After finishing speaking with a cold face, I turned around and went back to the bedroom without looking at Ji Chenfeng, and closed the door vigorously.

After the deafening noise, he was still hesitant and locked the door.

Lying on the bed, I deliberately turned up the volume of the TV to cover up all the sounds outside.

If he came to knock on the door, I pretended not to hear, and let him feel what it means to be stung.

The mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, and when I picked it up, it was a call from Zhou Jiyu's clinic.

Knowing that it was to remind me to go to the appointment on time in the afternoon, I didn't answer it, so I cut it off directly.

Watching the so-called variety show on TV, I unconsciously played back what Ji Chenfeng said just now in my mind. Every time I played it again, my heart became more dull.

Don't you regard me as a benefactor?Would a normal person talk to a benefactor with that kind of look and tone?And I haven't come to apologize until now, do you want me to run to apologize to him first?

go to hell.The more I think about it, the angrier I get.Yan Shanhua died of illness, and Ji Chenfeng died of exhaustion taking care of her. I'll be happy if they die.

After two hours of nesting in the room, I felt a little thirsty. I got up from the bed, and in the background sound of the huge TV, I held the doorknob of the bedroom with both hands, and hesitated repeatedly between opening and closing.

Is it normal to pour a glass of water when you are thirsty?Thinking, I slammed the door open.

Looking around, the plates on the table have been cleaned up, and the bits and pieces on the coffee table are gone, including the two kittens, replaced by two sheets of paper pressed in a wooden tissue box.

Ji Chenfeng left.It doesn't count if I go by myself, and I also took my cat.

Feeling ridiculous, I walked towards the coffee table, picked up the two pieces of paper and looked at them.

The first one says take the cat away so I don't have to worry about it, and the other one... is an IOU signed in his name.After deducting the part that has been repaid to me in the past three years, he rounded up and owed a total of 50 yuan.

Really has the backbone.I almost laughed at him.

Crumple the two sheets of paper into little balls that can never get back together, and throw them viciously into the trash.Afterwards, I went back to the bedroom, changed my clothes and went to Zhou Jiyu's clinic.

"The method you taught me doesn't work at all." Leaning lazily on the single sofa, I supported my head with one hand, gritted my teeth and asked Zhou Jiyu, "What's going on?"

"Where is it so easy to completely control a person? Slap a sweet date, pain and happiness is the key to success. It was sweet before, and now it's time to let 'him' hurt. Don't care about 'him' ', continue to dry until 'he' takes the initiative to contact you." Zhou Jiyu blew on the boiling coffee in the cup and said calmly.

I squinted my eyes: "What if he never comes to contact me?"

The smiling man said firmly: "Impossible. 'He' took the cat away and left you an IOU. Do you think this looks like he doesn't want to contact you anymore? On the contrary, it's because he's afraid that you won't contact me. What 'he' looks like."

Exhaling heavily from the nasal cavity, I felt that it made sense, I thought about it, nodded and said: "Then do as you said."

Indeed, after coaxing him for so long, he should kill his vigor.
