does he love me that much

On the other side of the ocean, it was already dark, and the castle fell into a deep sleep. Only the room at the end of the second floor was lit.Chi Jinxu sat up straight, looked coldly at Duan Yi who was standing beside the bed: "Give me back the phone."

"For you? Let you and Liang Xingye make a late-night sexual video?" Duan Yi lifted the quilt to bed and hugged Chi Jinxu into his arms, "It's late, go to bed."

When the quilt was lifted, the wind came in. Chi Jinxu arched his back and coughed. Duan Yi patted him and said, "Why is the cold not good? Another doctor will come to see you tomorrow."

Chi Jinxu coughed until his cheeks flushed like rose petals, and Duan Yi rubbed them with the back of his hand.Chi Jinxu dodged, Duan Yi continued to rub, Chi Jinxu grabbed his throat, and looked impatient: "Either give me the phone, or get out."

The fire in Duan Yi's heart ignited for a moment: "Hurry up to pick up Liang Xingye's video, I can't even touch you, right?!"

"Yes."

When the two confronted each other, the mobile phone hidden in Duan Yi's pocket sounded a notification tone, and Chi Jin said, "Duan Yi, give me the mobile phone."

Duan Yi sneered, and pressed him down. Chi Jinxu took cold medicine and became dizzy, and lost strength after a few resistances.

Duan Yi turned on his phone and found that it was Ji Xuan who had sent the message. He knew that Ji Xuan, a doctor, was a good friend of Chi Jinxu.

He glanced at the news, heh, I'm still a little sweet bean, dare to love Chi Jinxu and choose a concubine with a group of cronies when he has nothing to do.

He turned cold, and returned to Ji Xuan: What little sweet bean, Chi Jinxuan has an owner, don't send him such fucking nonsense from now on.

Before clicking send, Duan Yi raised his finger hesitantly. Chi Jinxu would definitely be angry when he found out. He thought about it, deleted everything, and only replied: Who is this, I don’t know.

After replying, delete all the dialog boxes according to the usual practice, leaving only his own top.

Duan Yi threw his mobile phone on the bedside table. Seeing that Chi Jinxu's eyes were not very clear, his forehead and cheeks were flushed, he suddenly stopped questioning him, and hugged him from behind: "Okay, sleep."

Chi Jinxu was very afraid of the cold, his hands and feet were cold, Duan Yi was like a stove with an excess heat source, warm, his back was pressed against Duan Yi's arms, slowly getting warm.

Chi Jinxu coughed again and said, "Stay away from me."

"No," Duan Yi said, "I must hug you to sleep."

There was a rustling sound from inside the quilt, and immediately after, Chi Jinxu slapped Duan Yi, saying it was a slap, because he was weak and sick, so it wasn't strong enough, but it was enough to annoy Duan Yi .

Duan Yi gritted his teeth: "Chi Jinxu, you are really out of order. I have grown up so much, and no one dares to hit me in the face."

"Really?" Chi Jin said.

Duan Yi gritted his teeth even more: "It's fine if I kiss you and slap me, but if I touch you, you slap me too. You're fucking unreasonable."

He held Chi Jinxu's neck, kissed and bit at the same time, provocatively said: "Slap, keep fanning, don't stop if your face is not swollen."

The back of the neck was sore and itchy. Chi Jinxu arched his body and coughed muffledly. He covered Duan Yi's face with his backhand and pushed it away, "Duan Yi, that's enough."

Duan Yi was pushed and lay on his back on the bed. He listened to Chi Jinxu coughing one after another, and after a while, said, "You are not the same as before."

Chi Jinxu couldn't keep his eyes open. He was exhausted from dealing with Duan Yi these days. He just wanted to have a good sleep, finish his work here as soon as possible, and return to China to live peacefully as before.

But Duan Yi has always been a character who will not give up until he achieves his goal. Being held back by him, he doesn't know how long the gap of two or three months will last.

Chi Jinxu sighed, turned over, stroked Duan Yi's hair on the sideburns as he did on the island before, and his tone became gentle: "Duan Yi, do you think I'm still blaming you?"

"You're blaming me," Duan Yi said in a muffled voice, rubbing against his neck.

Duan Yi's birthday gift was an island. On the same day, he picked up the injured Chi Jinxu. After getting along for a long time, the two fell in love secretly. Later, an accident happened, which caused Chi Jinxu to lose too much blood.

Duan Yi didn't understand the serious consequences of the mermaid's blood loss, and just thought he left without saying goodbye in a fit of anger.

"I've never blamed you." Chi Jinxu touched the scar on his wrist that was burned by the cigarette, but it didn't fade away with the passage of time. Pressing it down hard seemed to still hurt.

He said to the ignorant Duan Yi: "At the beginning, you saved me, hid me, healed my injuries, taught me to speak, and pushed me around in a wheelchair. I am very grateful and like you very much."

"But now I can do whatever I want, Duan Yi, you are too reckless and naive. I have lived in human society for seven years and met all kinds of people. You have lost my attraction to me."

Duan Yi's face was ugly: "Have you lost your attractiveness? You don't like young people now, do you? Isn't Liang Xingye the same age as me?"

"He's just my friend," Chi Jinxu said, "give me the phone."

As if Duan Yi had never heard of it, Chi Jinxu emphasized his tone: "Duan Yi."

Duan Yi threw the phone on the pillow, and angrily slammed the door and left.

Chi Jinxu opened the chat page, and only Duan Yi's dialog box was deleted. He searched for Liang Xingye's name, clicked in and sent a voice message.After connecting, he asked Liang Xingye: "Xingye, it's inconvenient to be busy just now, can you help me?"

"I want to ask if you know someone," Liang Xingye said, "I'm fine now, you are busy with your work."

Chi Ning was listening to Ji Xuan explaining what the words sent from the other side meant, and when he realized that the voice on the other end of the phone was very familiar, Liang Xingye had already hung up.

Chi Ning asked him: "Are you talking to Jinxu?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It seems a bit familiar."

"What does it sound familiar?" Ji Xuan put his arm around Chi Ning's shoulder, "He said he didn't know you,"

Now that Ji Xuan had come to his senses, he said to Liang Xingye again: "Chi Ning should have nothing to do with Jinxu. Think about it, if Jinxu's brother is gone, can he still go on a long business trip with peace of mind? I'm looking for someone."

Liang Xingye's thoughts coincided with Ji Xuan's.He cooperated with Chi Jinxu for the first time many years ago, and checked him privately. At that time, he didn't pay attention to his brother, but Chi Jinxu was normal, his educational background, interpersonal relationship, etc. were all clear and clear.

Moreover, Chi Jinxu's demeanor is generous, and his words and deeds are extremely educated. Without a certain vision and experience, he can't develop that kind of bearing.

Liang Xingye looked at Chi Ning: "It's okay, I will help you find your brother."

When it was almost time for dinner, Liang Xingye asked Ji Xuan to go downstairs to have dinner together. Ji Xuan glanced at the time, shouted that if he didn't come back, the director of the hospital would kill him, and ran away.

The public security system has sound population information. Liang Xingye told his uncle about finding someone, and in order to save workload, he excluded Chi Jinxu in advance.His uncle agreed very readily and promised to get it done as soon as possible.

The number of people with the surname Chi is small, ignoring A Jin's name, there are only a few who meet the corresponding conditions.A day later, Liang Xingye got the result, he called Chi Ning to the study and asked him to identify the pictures on the computer.

Chi Ning stared at the screen tightly and shook his head. Liang Xingye cut to the next picture and still shook his head.After reading the last picture, he looked at Liang Xingye and asked unwillingly, "Is there any more?"

"Everything you can find is here. If there is no one on it, there are only three possibilities: your brother is a black household, his surname is not Chi, and he is in another country." Liang Xingye said, "No matter what the possibility is, there is basically no possibility." Find his hope."

Chi Ning let go of the mouse, lowered his head, and said in a sad voice, "I see."

"Is it your brother?"

Chi Ning nodded, then shook his head: "Cousin."

Liang Xingye automatically substituted for his cousins ​​whom he didn't see several times a year, and said, "Forget it if you can't find it."

Unwilling and helpless, Chi Ning let out a dejected "hmm".

Liang Xingye was surprised that Chi Ning had a cousin on the shore. He asked, "Can all mermaids leave the sea? How many are hiding in the crowd?"

"No, just me and my brother."

"Then why are you able to leave the sea?" Liang Xingye was even more surprised.

Chi Ning avoids his eyes, and picks his fingers involuntarily, "I want to take a bath."

After speaking, he kept walking and left the study.

Chi Ning was soaking in the bathtub, his head up in a daze, the fish tail under him kept beating the water surface, and the water splashed everywhere.He wiped his face, turned over, and pressed his chin against the edge of the tub.

Liang Xingye had explained to him the role of household registration and the public security system. If Liang Xingye couldn't find help, it would be even more hopeless for him to rely on himself.Chi Ning drooped his head, hung his hands outside the bathtub, and stared absently at the cracks in the floor.

In fact, when he was in the sea, he was ready to part with his brother.After his brother became a human, the time he could maintain the fish tail became shorter and shorter, and sooner or later he would not be able to return to the sea.

It took him a long time to digest this fact, and when he got to the shore, he thought he would meet again, but unexpectedly he appeared at Liang Xingye's house by accident.

The floor is smooth and bright, and can reflect the shadow of people. Chi Ning touched the shadow with his fingertips back and forth, feeling empty in his heart.

He thought, looking for someone is a two-way street. If he can't find his brother, is there any way to make his brother see him so as to achieve his goal.But he has too little contact with human society, and his ideas are not clear.

Chi Ning was immersed in low thoughts and languished for several days.

He can only comfort himself, don't be too discouraged, the connection between mermaids is natural and close, he just went ashore not long ago, maybe there will be a turnaround after he integrates into human society, even if he can only depend on Liang Xingye, it is not a bad thing.

Before going to bed, Chi Ning lay on the bed, looking at Liang Xingye without blinking.Liang Xingye was watching the financial news, noticed his gaze, turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Chi Ning leaned in front of Liang Xingye, his eyes were moist under the light, and he asked, "If I don't want to go back to the sea, you won't send me back in the future, right?"

"You don't have to be coquettish, I will do what I say."

"No spoiling," Chi Ning moved closer, browsing his phone screen curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"news."

Chi Ning also took out his mobile phone and played for a while. When he closed the mini-game program, he didn’t know where to press it. There were dense words on the page, which he couldn’t understand. He asked Liang Xingye. Some of his more complicated operations.

Chi Ning listened carefully, and after learning it, an idea came to his mind. He put his hands on his face, looked at Liang Xingye, and thought in his heart, should he say that he wanted to learn to read.

Liang Xingye helped him find his brother, and he wanted to learn to read again. Chi Ning felt uneasy by making two requests in a short period of time. He stared at Liang Xingye indifferently, turned away after a glance, and then secretly Have a look.

Liang Xingye: "What's wrong?"

Chi Ning was struggling in his heart, and was startled when he heard the sound, and quickly slipped into the quilt: "It's nothing, I want to sleep."

Liang Xingye turned the lights to night reading mode, Chi Ning had something in his mind, closed his eyes and dunked his fingers under the quilt.

When Liang Xingye turned off the lights and was about to go to bed, Chi Ning mustered up his courage and touched his arm lightly: "Liang Xingye, can I learn to read?"

Liang Xingye was not surprised, but the last time his mother came to the company, in front of Chi Ning, she disliked Chi Ning for being uneducated and illiterate. Chi Ning was not very happy at that time.

He nodded: "Of course you can learn what you want, but don't take what my mother said to you."

Chi Ning had long forgotten what Zhou Yun said, "Then I want to learn it tomorrow."

"I'm going to school, right? Gu Xu said that everyone is studying at school, and besides reading, you can learn other things." Chi Ning asked, "What is school like?"

"The children here start learning to read at the age of four or five. You are too old." Liang Xingye paused, "By the way, how old are you now?"

"19 is old."

He was only nineteen, and Liang Xingye glanced at his face as if nothing had happened, his brows and eyes were lively, his complexion was tender and clean, with few blemishes, his whole figure was like a bud covered with dew in spring.

"You have to learn from scratch. If there is no suitable school for you, I will find a tutor to teach you at home."

Chi Ning nodded, eyes full of curiosity, "What is tutoring?"

"A teacher who comes to your home to teach you how to study."

"Male or female? Apart from teaching me how to read, do you teach me anything else..."

In Liang Xingye's impression, only children had so many problems. He had little contact with the two twin children of the Liang family, and he only remembered the noise in the house when he went back occasionally.

Liang Xingye felt annoying at that time, but now he is quite patient: "I will ask Gu Xu to arrange for you tomorrow, learn the basics first, and talk about other things later."

At around eight o'clock the next night, Gu Xu sent the selected candidates to the office.

More than a dozen resumes, male and female, academic experience and other specific information were neatly arranged.Liang Xingye scattered on the table, briefly introduced the relevant situation to Chi Ning, and asked him which one he wanted to choose.

Chi Ning read the pages one by one, picked out two, hesitated for a while in his hand, and handed them to Liang Xingye: "Which of these two do you think is better?"

Liang Xingye took a look, a man and a woman, I wonder if it was a coincidence, the looks of the two were the highest among the pile of resumes.He said: "It's up to you, which one is more than enough for you."

After Chi Ning finished choosing, Liang Xingye reminded: "Tomorrow is too late, and classes start the day after tomorrow. You can ask Gu Xu to take you out to play."

Seeing that Liang Xingye was busy, Chi Ning left the office.He has been around here before, and he is already familiar with the road, so he didn't need Gu Xu to take him, so he went downstairs alone.

This is the most prosperous part of Yuncheng, the moon is like a dim curved lamp, dotted behind the tall buildings that are lit like daylight, and the stars have lost their color.Standing on the ground and looking around, the bright colored lights are laid out on both sides, with no end in sight.

The crowd was bustling, constantly shuttling among the buildings, some people got up from the roadside chairs, and others sat down immediately.Street trees occasionally shed a few leaves, which were trampled to pieces in an instant.

Chi Ning walked into the crowd, melting into the sea like a drop of water.

He wanted to try to pay with his mobile phone, and walked to the door of the shop selling rice balls.When the line reached the gate, Chi Ning stood at the end and followed the steps taught by Gu Xu to find out the payment code.

When it was his turn, Chi Ning ordered a rice ball with seaweed and shrimp, and gave the clerk to scan his phone.

It was a very simple operation. Chi Ning walked out with the warm rice ball, and a message popped up on the screen with a string of numbers mixed in with the text.These figures are the money that can be spent. Chi Ning counted it, it was very long.

He was about to take a shortcut back to the company, and when he passed the small square, he saw the old man playing and singing with a guitar in his arms.The small square is located at the dead corner of the two buildings. There are not many people gathered there, standing in twos and threes at the bottom of the steps, listening to the melody quietly.

Chi Ning walked over, stayed away from the crowd, squatted down in the shadow of the flower bed, ate rice balls, and looked at the old man with white hair on his temples.

When we met for the first time, Chi Ning felt that the old man looked like the old mermaid who often took care of him and his brother in the mermaid group.

The old mermaid passed away for some years, and he looked at the old grandfather not far away, with nostalgia in his eyes.

After eating the rice balls, the people standing under the steps dispersed, and Chi Ning came closer.

The old man was thin and unshaven, with a similar appearance, but there was no kindness in his eyes. Chi Ning still remembered being scolded as a little bastard when he was given rice balls last time, so he stopped in his tracks.

Chen Xiangdong put down his guitar, unscrewed a bottle of white wine, took a sip to moisten his throat, then wiped the wine stains on his beard with his sleeve, looked up and down Chi Ning, and said with a smile: "Young man, do you want to listen to music? You can order songs, and the price is not expensive. Pay after listening."

Chi Ning shook his head and sat on the steps.Chen Xiangdong showed dissatisfaction, frowned his gray eyebrows, and waved at him, "Sit back, don't hinder my business."

The steps were not long, even if Chi Ning sat at the farthest end, he looked like he was with Chen Xiangdong.A passerby came to order a song and asked if Chi Ning could sing a song. Chen Xiangdong explained that Chi Ning was just a passerby. When asked for the third time, Chen Xiangdong glanced at Chi Ning.

After the man left, Chen Xiangdong called Chi Ning: "Young man, come over a little bit, hey, yes, yes, come over a little bit, and sit next to me."

Chi Ning was like a human-shaped signboard. After moving to Chen Xiangdong, more and more people gathered at the bottom of the steps. While ordering songs, many people scanned the QR code to give rewards.

Chi Ning sat quietly, turning his head to look at Chen Xiangdong who was playing and singing with his eyes half closed.One after another, after the end, Chen Xiangdong adjusted the position of the guitar, and the head of the guitar accidentally hit Chi Ning's arm, and Chi Ning retracted his hand.

Chen Xiangdong looked at Chi Ning carefully, he was fair, his eyes were like balls, bright and moist, and he looked innocent and ignorant of the world.Dressed very decently, wandering outside at night, still sitting silly on the steps for a long time, probably a child who ran away from home.

Tonight was much more lively than before, Chen Xiangdong looked relaxed, and asked Chi Ning: "No money for dinner?"

Chi Ning smiled at him: "Grandpa, I have money."

Chen Xiangdong ignored him.Chi Ning looked at Chen Xiangdong, then at the guitar he was holding in his arms, and deliberately struck up a conversation: "Grandpa, how does this make the sound?"

Chen Xiangdong casually played a tune.

"Can I touch it?" Chi Ning asked.Chen Xiangdong reluctantly nodded, and Chi Ning lightly plucked the guitar strings, and the music entered his ears with the vibration of the strings, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Chen Xiangdong threw him 50 yuan, Chi Ning: "Why give me the money?"

"It's a reward, will you still come tomorrow?"

"Here." Chi Ning said.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased. Chi Ning was about to go back to find Liang Xingye. He had just entered the company when he received a message from Liang Xingye.

He stared at the screen for a while, then walked to a remote part of the hall, with a bit of annoyance and embarrassment on his face, and whispered: "Liang Xingye, what is the message you sent? Have you forgotten, I don't know how to read yet?" .”

A voice came out after a while, Chi Ning clicked on it, and Liang Xingye's voice with a suppressed smile came: "Sorry, I forgot for a while, I'm off work now, where are you?"

"In the company lobby."

"Okay, you wait for me there."

After receiving Chi Ning, Liang Xingye took him out.The driver waited at the exit, saw them coming, and opened the door to let them board.

Liang Xingye sat in the back seat, raised his head and loosened his tie, and asked Chi Ning, "Where have you been all night?"

"It's just downstairs," Chi Ning was next to him, "There is an old man in the small square, very similar to the grandfather who took care of me before. I went to see him play the guitar, and he let me touch his guitar."

"If you want to learn, I will ask you a music theory teacher."

Chi Ning looked down at the fingers that were plucking the strings just now, hooked them a few times, and then said to Liang Xingye: "I don't want a music theory teacher, I want to go to the small square every night."

"Okay, it just so happens that you only attend classes during the day."

Chi Ning suddenly remembered something, and took out a fifty-dollar note from his pocket: "He gave me back the money, saying it was a reward. But the card you gave me already has a lot of money in it, and I don't need it."

He babbled about what happened at night to Liang Xingye, automatically omitting the first part where Chen Xiangdong told him to sit farther away.After hearing this, Liang Xingye said, "It's okay, you can take it as your own, if you don't, it may hurt his self-esteem."

Chi Ning nodded: "I see."

In the evening, Chi Ning went to bed early, Liang Xingye returned to the bedroom after finishing his work, and saw the quilts piled up in the corner, Chi Ning fell asleep, his face was crooked, his face was buried between two pillows, and his hands and feet were placed in a mess.

Liang Xingye pushed him aside and covered him with the quilt. Chi Ning lowered his eyelids and called, "Liang Xingye."

"what happened?"

Chi Ning lifted a corner of the quilt, turned around and pressed against the wall, and muttered, "It's so hot."

Liang Xingye turned off the light and was about to fall asleep when his calf sank. Chi Ning put his leg on it. He turned his head and saw Chi Ning's face was close at hand. Liang Xingye: "Chi Ning, go to sleep."

Chi Ning was half asleep and half awake, what Liang Xingye said lingered in his ears, as small as a mosquito, he replied in a daze: "Huh?"

When he was first allowed to sleep on the bed, Liang Xingye drew a limit for him, and he could only sleep in one-third of the bed. He slept irregularly, so he restrained himself repeatedly.The day before yesterday, Liang Xingye took the initiative to tell him not to sleep in a corner, so he stopped restraining himself.

Liang Xingye saw that Chi Ning said "hmm", but didn't say anything, put his legs away, and moved to the side to sleep.After a while, Chi Ning came over again, this time directly pressing his leg on his lower abdomen.

The angle and posture were too ambiguous, both of them were wearing thin clothes, and the body feeling was obvious, Liang Xingye froze.

Sleeping in the same bed with Chi Ning was originally an expedient measure, thinking that he could be sent away in a few days, but now that the situation has changed, it is not appropriate to sleep together for a long time.

But there was only one bedroom designed here, and it would be troublesome to renovate. Liang Xingye screened the residence under his name in his mind, and decided to move to a villa area half an hour away from the company after consideration.

Chi Ning's leg was still pressing on him, Liang Xingye stretched out his hand and pushed it away, just holding Chi Ning's ankle, which was so thin that he could wrap it around with one hand.

After a while, Liang Xingye let go to push his calf, and felt a slippery hand again, like silk.
