smug

Ji Lejin finally handed over the dog, and only now did he feel alive.He shook his sore arm, dully aware of Dong Shuqin's gaze.

"What, what's the matter, Auntie?"

Because of the unspeakable intimacy with Qin Suiming, Ji Lejin felt a little guilty when she saw Dong Shuqin.

He started to regret it from the moment he got in the car, because Ji Lejin found that sitting next to Dong Shuqin made him feel more cramped, especially when his mind was full of memories from last night, he didn't even dare to squint at people.

I'm afraid that if I meet my gaze, I will see something wrong.

However, Dong Shuqin didn't know anything, and joked with him with a smile: "What's the matter, have you become estranged since you haven't seen me for a long time?"

How could Ji Lejin dare to say it, she smiled with her lips stiffened, she thought it was a fool.Fortunately, Tang Wei also came over not long after, and Ji Lejin was walking with the dog in his arms, not daring to lift his head.

The jade was handed over to Qin Suiming by Dong Shuqin himself. Jade with such fineness is really rare. She has seen so many rare treasures, and she still has a deep impression on this piece of jade.

Dong Shuqin couldn't look away, she managed to maintain her composure so that she didn't look so groggy.

She asked Qin Suiming to keep the jade for his future girlfriend, why did she go around and find Ji Lejin?She knew that Qin Suiming would give all the precious things to Ji Lejin, but would he not know what this piece of jade meant?

Tang Wei was not in the same car as them, watching her back as she left.Only then did Dong Shuqin ask: "Jinbao, why haven't you seen this piece of jade before?"

"Jade?"

Ji Lejin breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Dong Shuqin would ask him questions that he couldn't answer.He conveniently stuffed the jade back into his collar, and replied: "Qin Suiming gave it to me... he said it was jade for raising people, and he said he would wear it for me to protect myself."

"That's it." Dong Shuqin is usually very dignified and elegant, but now she can't hold back the smile at the corner of her mouth. She nodded and then asked, "When did I give it to you? I haven't heard that he bought a piece of jade."

"Looks like it's summer vacation..."

After Ji Lejin blurted out, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He unconsciously stretched out his hand and pinched the red rope, his heart skipped a beat, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with this piece of jade?"

Dong Shuqin is a person who has seen big storms. At her age and with her family background, she actually seldom has mood swings, but now she still can't contain her surging shock.

She fiddled with her hair to hide her face, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just think this jade monster is pretty."

Dong Shuqin told himself not to think too much.Everyone knew that Ji Lejin was in poor health, and Qin Suiming might not have thought the jade was of much significance, so he might simply give it to him for protection.

She sat in the front row of the show but was absent-minded. The slender foreign models walked the show stepping on the drums of music, but Dong Shuqin's eyes fell on the catwalk under their feet.

Sui Ming regards Jin Bao as his younger brother. When he was a child, he would not eat ice cream by himself, but feed it all to Ji Lejin. This piece of jade should be the same now.

Dong Shuqin tried to think positively, trying to excuse Qin Suiming, her shoe toe tapped on the floor.

She clenched her handbag tightly and turned her head to look at Ji Lejin.

Ji Lejin was sitting next to her, he was not interested in watching this kind of show, he just wanted to accompany them, so he sat on the side and played with his mobile phone.

His various manners were also taught by his teacher when he was a child. Although he didn't have to suffer a little bit and only learned half of it, but because of his thin figure, he was still pleasing to the eye when he sat on the chair.

Ji Lejin's eyelashes are slender and thick, like butterfly wings when they hang down, her nose is straight, her lips are thin, her jaw line is between a teenager and a young man, and she still has a green and immature taste.

He was probably also thinking about the piece of jade, and his expression looked slightly worried, which made one want to ask him in a low voice what troubled him.

Dong Shuqin watched him grow up, so he naturally knew that Ji Lejin was good-looking. He used to treat him like a child, but now he just noticed it when he looked carefully.

He is already a handsome boy, he can't be seen as a child.

Qin Suiming didn't even have a girl around him, but he kept Ji Lejin by his side day after day. What was he trying to do? Was he really just treating him as a younger brother who had an unusually good relationship?

The more Dong Shuqin thought about it, the more flustered she felt. Originally, after watching the show, she wanted to stay and have a meal together, but after it was over, she found an excuse and went back early.

She sat in the back seat without speaking for a long time, until the driver turned around and called her "Ma'am", Dong Shuqin suddenly recovered.

Dong Shuqin gathered the shawl on his body, and said, "Go to the company, not go home."

Although she seldom goes to the company, the front desk recognizes her.Employees in professional attire greeted her and guided her to the elevator respectfully. Dong Shuqin nodded at her and pressed the elevator button to Qin Suiming's office building.

Qin Suiming's office is very independent, some distance away from the secretary's office.

She adjusted her breath several times, rejected the assistant who came over, and knocked on the office door by herself.

Qin Suiming's hand was on the mouse, he raised his eyes casually, and was a little surprised when he saw someone coming: "Mom, why are you here?"

He temporarily put down what he was doing, walked over and poured Dong Shuqin a cup of tea, and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Dong Shuqin's eyes were complicated, and he took a sip from the cup first.Qin Suiming is her only son. Qin Feng treats him harshly, but Qin Suiming can always deliver satisfactory answers.

He's great, he's better than a lot of people.

After a stalemate for a while, Dong Shuqin couldn't help asking: "Why did you give that piece of jade to Jin Bao? If I didn't accidentally see it today, would you have kept it a secret from me?"

Qin Suiming thought it was Ji Lejin who said something to Dong Shuqin, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of oolong.Before he gave the jade to Ji Lejin, who has hands and feet, he was ready to be discovered.

"I gave it to him on my own initiative." Qin Suiming looked at her without flinching or dodging, "Didn't you tell me to give the jade to someone I like? I like Jin Bao, so I gave him the jade."

Dong Shuqin hung up in one breath, and raised his voice uncontrollably: "I asked you to give it to the girl you like..."

"I just like him."

The clear sound of the cup falling on the table interrupted Dong Shuqin's last words. Qin Suiming lowered his chin slightly and asked, "You want me to have a girlfriend and then get married, just like you and my dad?"

"It's best if the family is right. It doesn't matter if the girl's family background is not as good as ours, but she must be innocent and nothing big will happen. Then she and I will respect each other like you. If everything goes well, there will be a child, right?"

That's what Dong Shuqin thought, and she was speechless for a moment, this was the path she wanted Qin Suiming to take, and she was pushing him hard to this path, whether he wanted to or not.

"But I can't like others."

People who are too calm and self-sufficient will be more paranoid in certain aspects, like pinning all their emotions on this. Qin Suiming's morality will be weak when he wants to be weak.

"If I like Jinbao, I like Jinbao, even if he grew up with me, even if he is a boy, but so what?"

"Human memory is limited. I shouldn't remember things in the past so clearly, but I can remember everything related to Jin Bao very clearly. What's the reason?"

"Because everything about him matters?"

"I really, really like him." Qin Suiming could understand Dong Shuqin's intention and reason to persuade him, but he didn't accept it.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa, picked up the car keys on the table with his fingers, and said calmly: "I grew up so old that I seldom do the things I want to do, can you just let me do one now?"

"mom."

Dong Shuqin's heart trembled a few times when he shouted, and when he reacted and turned his head, she could only see Qin Suiming's tall and straight back.

Qin Suiming is a person who is very respectful of seniority and inferiority. This is the first time she has seen Qin Suiming's back without saying goodbye.

Dong Shuqin sat blankly for a while, and suddenly knew that her son liked boys, she acted calmly, after all, she couldn't question hysterically, not to mention what Qin Suiming just said...

She put down the cup, raised her hand and pressed her sore temple a few times.It's not good to like anyone, why should you like Ji Lejin?

Ji Lejin and Tang Wei didn't have dinner either, and went home together.Tang Wei was very puzzled: "What's going on with you and Aunt Dong, it seems that something is wrong?"

"Didn't Auntie say that there is something to do when I go home? There must be something." Ji Lejin said casually, "I...I just think I didn't do well in the exam..."

"Who are you lying to?" Tang Wei glanced at him, "I have never seen you get annoyed by your test scores."

Ji Lejin muttered softly: "Didn't it be enough for you to let me write well and learn English well?"

Tang Wei jokingly tugged at his ear, and asked, "Why don't you usually see you being so obedient?"

He hasn't been home for a long time, and the cooking aunt at home made a table of dishes tonight.The aunt also had a kind face when she saw him, chattering and telling him which dishes he must like to eat.

The piece of jade on Ji Lejin's chest was always pressed against him heavily, reminding him of what happened this afternoon every now and then, which made him lose his appetite.

He usually has a mediocre appetite, and after barely finishing a bowl of rice, he put down his chopsticks and went upstairs.Ji Lejin threw her coat outside, and went into the bathroom to wash her hands.

Ji Lejin took off the piece of jade around her neck, pinched it in her hand and looked at it, there was still warmth on it.He stared at the jade, thinking of Dong Shuqin's expression.

He's an idiot if he doesn't see anything.

Is it really expensive?So expensive that Dong Shuqin can lose his face?Or is there some origin of this jade that he doesn't know?

No matter how expensive the jade is or if there are any secrets, Ji Lejin is ready to return it to Qin Suiming.After seeing Dong Shuqin, he thought a lot more clearly.

He can't be like Qin Suiming.He and Qin Suiming are wrong.

Ji Lejin felt that he had taken a hot potato, he didn't know where to throw it, but he didn't dare to take it with him, he just held it in his hand in a daze.

He stood in the bathroom for a long time, but when he went out, he found Qin Suiming sitting in his room.Ji Lejin was startled at first, and then he mustered up the courage to walk over.

Before Qin Suiming could speak, he took the initiative to pass the jade over.Facing Qin Suiming's oppressive gaze, Ji Lejin bit the bullet and said, "I'll give it back to you."

Ji Lejin was well protected, she had never seen the dark side of human nature, and she was indeed too pure and incomprehensible in terms of emotions.

He was going to agree to Qin Suiming first, and then pick a chance to break up.Only now did he finally realize that it was wrong to delay for too long, and the longer it was delayed, the harder it would be to separate.

Kiss first, and then what should it be? Confession and kissing are already things that shouldn't happen between them.

Occasionally, there would be a burning pain in the mouth, and Ji Lejin's raised arms were a little sore.He didn't dare to look at Qin Suiming's eyes, avoided it, and said in a low voice:

"We've been together for a day, can we break up?"
