you restrain yourself

When Ji Shuyan and Ji Yuan arrived at the archery gym, Duan Zhi was shooting arrows.

There were not many people still shooting arrows at this time, only Duan Zhi and a girl with a high ponytail were still standing on the stage, but not far away were people gathered in twos and threes, watching them shoot arrows.

Duan Zhi is dressed in black, with a handsome face, straight shoulders and back, legs slightly apart, focused eyes, scissors, bow, arm muscles are smooth and powerful, slightly raised when he draws the bow, his silhouette is perfect like a work of art.

Ji Shuyan doesn't know much about archery, the only thing he knows is that he has watched two matches occasionally, but he can also tell that Duan Zhi's movements are not a novice.

Then look at the girl with the high ponytail next to her who has stopped, is wiping her sweat, and is also looking at Duan Zhi with great interest.

Duan Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and aimed at the target.

He didn't notice that Ji Shuyan was coming, and there was only the small archery target in front of him, but his mind still seemed to be in the courtyard with golden yellow flowers from yesterday, Ji Shuyan said in a low voice—"I'm sorry to refuse."

He loosened his tensed hands.

With a whistling sound, the long arrow flew out like a feather, piercing the wind, and hit the bull's-eye.

The spectators around applauded, and someone who was a little older than Duan Zhi smiled at him, "Not bad, young man, I've been watching you all afternoon, and you've got a good shot."

Duan Zhi nodded, neither arrogant nor arrogant, his face was not bad but he was not very happy, he put the bow back to the equipment storage, took a bottle of mineral water from the chair, and took a sip.

The girl with the high ponytail who was archery like him also came over, said hello cheerfully, and asked if they could exchange contact information, "We can still learn from each other in a few days."

Duan Zhi didn't even bother to tell whether the person on the other side was purely interested in exchanging hobbies or striking up a conversation, so he shook his head and said politely, "Sorry, forget it, I probably won't come tomorrow."

The girl didn't say anything else, she smiled, "Okay, goodbye then."

But when he screwed up the mineral water, there was a cheerful voice from behind, "Brother Duan."

It was Ji Yuan's voice.

Duan Zhi was startled, turned around and looked over.

But the first thing he saw was not Ji Yuan who was standing not far away waving at him, but Ji Shuyan who was standing beside him with a calm expression.

Ji Shuyan didn't avoid his gaze, and looked directly at him. There was only less than five meters between the two of them, but it was like a river that couldn't see the end, and even the air became glued.

In the end, it was Duan Zhi who looked away first, looked at Ji Yuan, and said with a dry voice, "You guys came very quickly."

"Of course, it's not too far away," Ji Yuan jumped over, "Brother Duan, you were so handsome when you shot arrows just now, why didn't I know you could shoot arrows before."

He admired it sincerely, he himself was not good at sports, so he was very envious when he saw Duan Zhi who was so versatile.

Duan Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he had accepted the compliment, but he was in a really bad mood and couldn't make jokes with Ji Yuan like before, so he just said, "I'll teach you later."

He walked to Ji Shuyan's side with Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan asked Ji Shuyan, "Uncle, what shall we eat?"

Ji Shuyan glanced at Duan Zhi, and noticed that there seemed to be another scratch on Duan Zhi's hand.

"I made a reservation at the restaurant here." He said, but he was a little absent-minded.

When Duan Zhi shot the last arrow just now, he was watching the whole process.

It was dusk, but the lights in the archery hall were extremely bright. Duan Zhi stood on the stage with his bow in hand, as if he was standing in the center of the world, calm and calm, with only the target in front of him in his eyes, the eyes of the surroundings, whispering, seemed to be all to him. Pointless.

It was the same when a girl came to ask Duan Zhi for contact information. Duan Zhi was polite, but his expression was indifferent. Everyone could see that it was a high-sounding excuse.

He rarely saw Duan Zhi showing such a side, and he was a little surprised.

But when he really walked over, the frost and snow on Duan Zhi's face melted immediately, his body stiffened imperceptibly, and he stood beside him without saying a word, occasionally looking at him, and immediately looked away, not daring to Looking at him, it seemed as if he was at his mercy, Duan Zhi would accept whatever he said or did.

Ji Shuyan sighed, but he couldn't tell what it was like.

The three of them walked out of the archery hall together, Ji Yuan walked faster, there was a step behind them, Ji Shuyan and Duan Zhi were side by side.

Seeing Duan Zhi's straight lips and chiseled side face, looking like he was about to shut up forever, Ji Shuyan thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "The arrow is good."

Duan Zhi looked up at Ji Shuyan in surprise.

But Ji Shuyan just glanced at him indifferently, his expression unchanged, as if he didn't say this sentence, and continued to walk forward.

Dinner is at Ji Shuyan's restaurant, which is located in this resort. It mainly serves French cuisine. The chef is also specially recruited from France, and the dishes are not bad.

The meal was finally not too dull, Ji Yuan babbled about what happened today, Ji Shuyan and Duan Zhi occasionally echoed a sentence, and there was nothing wrong with it on the surface.

It's just that when checking out, Ji Shuyan found that Duan Zhi had already paid the bill first.

He pays the bill in this holiday manor, and he only needs to pay when he leaves, but this restaurant does not belong to the holiday manor, but only rents the venue in the manor, so he needs to pay separately.

Hearing that Duan Zhi had settled the bill, he frowned, and looked towards the door, Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan were standing together, the two of them didn't chat, they were playing with their phones.

Ji Shuyan quickly thought of something else, and called the front desk of the resort. Sure enough, the front desk said that his villa fee and other service fees had also been settled, and Mr. Duan had paid for it.

Ji Shuyan's expression became more complicated. He pursed his lips, put away his phone, and walked towards the door. He didn't mention this matter on the way back to the villa, but just listened silently to Ji Yuan chatting with Duan Zhi.

Just returning to the villa, he sent Ji Yuan to the game area outside in twos and twos, but left Duan Zhi behind.

He looked at Duan Zhi, "Let's chat."

Duan Zhi also finally met his gaze, "Okay."

The two went to the study together.

Originally, the courtyard should be a more suitable place for conversation, but Ji Shuyan remembered the embarrassing experience yesterday when he went there now, and he was determined not to go there again.

It was pitch black in the study, he turned on a few desk lamps, the lights were soft but not glaring, he sat on a single armchair, and said to Duan Zhi, "You sit too."

Duan Zhi sat down, raised his head, and looked at Ji Shuyan for the first time since they met in the archery gym.

Under the soft light, Ji Shuyan's face has a creamy and delicate feeling, like a beauty condensed in an oil painting, graceful and indifferent, he leans on the back of the chair casually, his legs are crossed together, his fingers are slender and slender, On the knee, the slipper fell to the ground, revealing a foot in a white sock with an arched instep and a thin and pale ankle that looked like it would snap off.

Duan Zhi looked down all the way, staring at his feet for a few seconds, then turned his gaze back to Ji Shuyan's face.

Neither of them spoke in a hurry, the study was quiet, as if they were waiting for something.

Ji Shuyan licked his lower lip, a little hesitant, he hadn't had much heart-to-heart with young people other than Ji Yuan, and the interns in the hospital only had working relationships, so he really didn't know how to be more approachable.

What's more, this is still a young man who likes himself.

But before he could speak, Duan Zhi spoke first.

"Actually, I have something to tell you, Uncle Ji," Duan Zhi looked at him, and even smiled, "Can you listen to me first?"

Ji Shuyan was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment, "Then tell me."

Duan Zhi stared at him for a while, his amber eyes turned black like thick ink in the dimly lit room.

This made Ji Shuyan feel a little uncomfortable.

But after a while, he heard Duan Zhi say, "I've already booked the hotel and the return ticket, and I'll leave tomorrow morning. I thought I'd leave today during the day, but I feel that it's uncomfortable to leave without saying a word." I'm being polite, and I'm sorry for the hospitality you and Ji Yuan gave me, that's why I waited until now."

Ji Shuyan forgot the lines he had prepared in his mind.

He couldn't help sitting up straight, leaning forward slightly, and the shadow reflected on the wall moved accordingly, like a broken flower.

He looked at Duan Zhi blankly, "What did you say?"
