Do not lie to me

Ji Shuping came downstairs with Shang Xuechen in his arms, helped him to sit in the kitchen, and poured him a glass of warm water first, "Drink some water first."

Shang Xuechen opened his mouth obediently, and Ji Shuping fed him some water. After feeding, he reached out to stroke his hair, "The porridge is still warm, I'll serve you a bowl of porridge." After speaking, he turned to leave. Shang Xuechen stopped him, and Ji Shuping turned to look at him.Shang Xuechen just lowered his head.

"What's wrong?" Ji Shuping asked him.

Shang Xuechen looked down at his dirty front, "I want to take a bath first."

"Okay, I'll help you." As he said that, he was about to come over to help him.

Shang Xuechen let go of his hand, turned his body to hide, "I want to wash myself."

"I have to check for you..."

"No need." Shang Xuechen still lowered his head.Ji Shuping was stunned when he interrupted him, thinking that he was still resisting him.Shang Xuechen carefully raised his eyelids to look at him, "It's too dirty, I'll do it myself."

Ji Shuping smiled, walked over and reached out to help him up, "It's okay. You're not dirty."

Ji Shuping led the people into the bathroom, first filled the bathtub with water, then turned around and twisted a towel, and wiped Shang Xuechen's face with his hand.Shang Xuechen still stood with his head bowed, Ji Shuping finished wiping his face, and was about to go down and unbutton his clothes, Shang Xuechen backed away, "No, I'll do it myself." Then he turned around and walked away , took off his clothes with his back to Ji Shuping, and stepped into the bathtub with his back turned.

As soon as Shang Xuechen got into the water, he stretched out his hand and rubbed it, his chest and arms became red.He paused his hands, but the water didn't calm down, it was Ji Shuping who stepped into the bathtub.Shang Xuechen was startled, and was about to move forward a little.Ji Shuping reached out to grab his arm, and circled him from behind, "Stop avoiding me."

"I spit it out, it smells bad."

Ji Shuping inhaled into his neck, "It doesn't smell bad." After speaking, he scooped up water and poured it on Shang Xuechen, then carefully touched his arm along the skin on his shoulder and finally covered him the back of his hand, "Don't rub so hard. I'll help you."

Shang Xuechen just lowered his head, and Ji Shuping saw some ripples on the surface of the water, which were caused by tears falling into the water.Ji Shuping pulled him to lean against him firmly, scrubbed his chest, and said, "You don't smell bad, you don't look bad, you've always been fine." After saying this, the person in his arms Ji Shuping's body trembled, and Ji Shuping held him tightly in his arms.

After taking a shower, Ji Shuping put on his bathrobe, took the hair dryer and turned around to help Shang Xuechen dry his hair.Shang Xuechen just stood with his head bowed, Ji Shuping brushed his hair, and said, "It's so long that I can't even see your eyes." Shang Xuechen still didn't move, and still hung his head like that.

Ji Shuping turned off the hair dryer, sighed and asked him, "Are you planning not to look up at me?"

Shang Xuechen raised his hand to touch Ji Shuping's wrist, and said lightly, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't compare your mother...to you and me."

Ji Shuping reached out to hug the man, and stretched out his hand to rub his hair, "You are sorry for me." The man in his arms froze/body, Ji Shuping stroked his hair and said, "But you are not sorry for me, What you're sorry for me is that you shouldn't make fun of your own body, and you shouldn't have considered that I have the idea of ​​committing suicide."

Shang Xuechen hugged him tightly, his voice was wet again, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you." Ji Shuping patted his head and said jokingly, "So don't cry anymore, if you cry again, I will have to use the nickname "cry bag" to laugh at you in the future." On the contrary, the person in his arms cried even more fiercely.

Ji Shuping took the crying man to the kitchen and sat down, and brought a bowl of porridge to him, "You can eat now."

Shang Xuechen was choked up from crying, unable to speak and could only nod his head.He picked up the bowl and the spoon, but his hands twitched because he cried for too long, and he couldn't control it.Ji Shuping reached out to take the bowl in his hand, and brought it to his mouth spoon by spoon.Shang Xuechen sniffed and looked at him, trying to hold back his twitching body.Ji Shuping put down the bowl and reached out to pat his back, "Don't hold back, you'll be fine after a while."

"I... I haven't... never cried like this since I was a child. I feel... a little... ashamed."

Ji Shuping smiled, stretched out his hand and patted his head, "It's not shameful, it's not shameful in front of me." After Shang Xuechen calmed down, he began to feed him porridge.

Shang Xuechen drank it all in one gulp, finishing the porridge.Ji Shuping came over with the medicine again, but he still had some scruples about Shang Xuechen's mood, so he gave Shang Xuechen a cautious look.Shang Xuechen looked at the medicine in Ji Shuping's hand, pursed his lips and held out his hand to him.

Ji Shuping poured the medicine into his palm, watched him swallow the medicine with water, and immediately filled him up with water so that he could drink it.After Shang Xuechen swallowed the medicine, he heard Ji Shuping's cell phone ringing, and he glanced at Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping took out his phone and was about to hang up, Shang Xuechen reached out to stop him, "I'm fine, you can pick it up."

"It's okay if you don't."

"Let's take it." Shang Xuechen drank sullenly, "I don't want you to be so careful in front of me."

Ji Shuping looked at the person drinking water calmly, and after thinking about it, he still answered the phone.

"Master, the chairman asked you to come to the Ji family."

"It's too late." Ji Shuping glanced at Shang Xuechen who was drinking water, "I won't..."

"You'd better go." Shang Xuechen drank up the water and put down the glass, "I'm much better already."

Ji Shuping covered the phone with his hand, "I want to spend more time with you."

"If you don't go, the chairman will be upset. I'm fine, and I won't have any strange thoughts."

Ji Shuping sighed, moved his hand covering the phone, "Understood." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, reached out to hold Shang Xuechen's hand, "Go up and have a good sleep, I will leave after you sleep .”

Shang Xuechen wanted to tell him that there was no need for it, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the sound of the phone.Ji Shuping frowned, and answered the phone impatiently, "I said I got it!"

"Well, I'm Qi Liang. I'm looking for Xuechen."

Ji Shuping looked at the phone in surprise for a moment, then looked at Shang Xuechen who was looking at him at the moment. He had no reason to hang up Qi Liang's phone in front of Shang Xuechen, but he didn't want to be refreshed just now. Shang Xuechen was disturbed.

Qi Liang on the other end of the phone seemed to know Ji Shuping's concerns. He still remembered that Ji Shuping asked himself not to look for Shang Xuechen again, so he could only explain first, "I just wanted to catch up with him and say goodbye to him by the way."

"Farewell?" Ji Shuping said in surprise, causing Shang Xuechen who was beside him to keep looking at him.Ji Shuping realized his gaffe, cleared his throat and handed the phone to Shang Xuechen, "Qi Liang is looking for you."

Shang Xuechen reached out and took the phone, "Hello?"

"Xuechen, are you free to come to my place now? I have some things I want to explain to you, and I will say goodbye to you by the way."

"Farewell?" Shang Xuechen was also surprised, Ji Shuping was looking at him curiously, Shang Xuechen and Ji Shuping looked at each other, and asked the person on the phone, "What does this mean?"

"I've thought about it. I'm going to leave this city. I haven't decided where to go yet, but I want to leave now. I'll go to other places first." Qi Liang walked to the kitchen refrigerator with the phone in his hand, looking Looking at the postcard on the refrigerator, "Go and see places that others have thought of but never been. Are you free to come to my place now? I have something to give you back."

Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping who was frowning beside him.Ji Shuping pointed to the medicine he had just swallowed, then pointed to the watch on his wrist and shook his head.

"I've booked a plane ticket for tomorrow."

"So fast?" Shang Xuechen exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, I don't want to procrastinate. I'm afraid that if I give myself more time, I will put it on hold."

Shang Xuechen looked at Ji Shuping who was still shaking his head beside him, gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll see you now."

"You haven't recovered yet!" Shang Xuechen said to Ji Shuping as soon as he hung up the phone.

"But I want to see Qi Liang. He's leaving tomorrow." Shang Xuechen got off the chair, turned around and walked to the living room.

Ji Shuping chased him out and stopped him. Originally, he still didn't agree with him going out now, but when Shang Xuechen looked back at him with a hint of pleading in his eyes, Ji Shuping's heart softened, "Then I'll take you there."

"No, you still have business to do. I'll just take a taxi there by myself."

"No, I have to send you there first!"

"I can go there myself."

"no!"

The two were in a stalemate, and finally each took a step back. Shang Xuechen asked Ji Shuping to take him to the hotel last night, because his car was still parked in the hotel parking lot.

"They said I'll see you off, I'll send someone to drive the car back." Ji Shuping was still nagging in the car.

"Qi Liang, he is leaving tomorrow." Shang Xuechen looked at the street lights lit outside the window and sighed, "I haven't given the gift box Brother Zhou asked me to bring to him. It was supposed to be given yesterday, because I have something to ask." I told him that I was excited and then forgot. The gift box is still in my car, and I want to bring it to him.”

Ji Shuping had nothing to say, "Then remember to call me when you come out from him."

"Didn't I lose my mobile phone?" As soon as Shang Xuechen finished speaking, Ji Shuping threw a mobile phone at him, "It is agreed that the one who will come back to buy you a new mobile phone will still be your old mobile phone number."

Shang Xuechen took the phone and turned it on, but there was no contact in the address book.Looking at the empty address book, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't have many contacts in the first place, but now that Qi Liang was leaving, he lost another one.

Hearing him sigh, Ji Shuping turned around to see him staring blankly at the phone's empty address book, and hurriedly explained, "I haven't had time to save the phone yet. I'll save my phone for you later."

"No need." Shang Xuechen turned off his cell phone and nestled in the car seat.The hotel has already arrived, and Ji Shuping is parking the car. Hearing the words "no need" from the person beside him, Ji Shuping almost rubs against the car next to him.He still wanted to ask why, but Shang Xuechen's next sentence came, "I remember your phone number."

The two were about to part ways in the hotel's underground parking lot.When Shang Xuechen got off the car, he looked at the parking lot of the hotel. On the one hand, he was looking for his car, and on the other hand, he felt that things were different. When he came yesterday, he never thought about what would happen.

Sitting in the car, Ji Shuping saw him standing beside the car in a daze, and called him, "Xuechen." After shouting, he was about to unbuckle his seat belt and get out of the car, Shang Xuechen turned around and smiled at him, "I It's okay, you don't need to get out of the car, just go. Don't waste too much time." After speaking, he smiled with him again, and turned to find his own car.

Ji Shuping stopped unfastening his seat belt, and sat in the car watching Shang Xuechen's back as he walked forward.

Shang Xuechen was walking all the way forward, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, he guessed that it was Ji Shuping coming over.Shang Xuechen stopped, and wanted to turn around and tell him that he was really fine, but as soon as he turned around, Ji Shuping held his face and kissed him.

After the kiss, Ji Shuping put his forehead against his and said, "I will find a way to deal with your brother, you have to trust me. So you must call me when you come out from Qiliang's place."

"Well, I see."

With Shang Xuechen's guarantee, Ji Shuping let him go, and stood there watching him get into the car.

Shang Xuechen got into his car and saw Ji Shuping still standing there, thought for a while and opened the car window, poked his head out and told him, "Don't worry."

Ji Shuping nodded but still didn't move.Shang Xuechen looked at him more, turned the car key and drove away.Ji Shuping stood still and watched his car drive away, until the phone rang again urging him, then he turned around and got into his car and drove to Ji's.

As soon as he arrived at Ji's, Ji Shuping was led by Uncle Kang to the meeting room.Standing at the door of the meeting room, Ji Shuping straightened his clothes and asked Uncle Kang, "Why are you in such a hurry to come to the meeting at night?"

Uncle Kang hung his head and said nothing, but opened the door of the conference room for him.Standing at the door, Ji Shuping saw Shen Ao, who was sitting opposite the chairman, tilting his head and smiling at him.

Ji Shuping looked at Shen Ao who was sitting in the conference room, and then at the chairman who was sitting opposite him with his back turned to him, his eyes sank and he lifted his foot into the conference room, the door behind him closed with a "snap".

"What do you mean now? The cooperation with Mrs. Shao broke down and you turned to the Shen family?"

Shen Ao lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee. The chairman still didn't turn his head, but said, "Sit down first."

Ji Shuping watched Shen Ao who was drinking coffee leisurely, squeezed his fist and sat down.

Shen Ao smiled and put down the cup in his hand, "What's wrong with cooperating with my family? At least we all have the same goal. Isn't it all for the dismount of Mrs. Shao who came out of nowhere, and for that brat named Shao Ji to step down?" ?”

"He's already arrived, what kind of reason do you have in your hands?" Ji Shuping heard the question from the chairman next to him, and looked at Shen Ao nervously.

Shen Ao smiled and stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, "I've told you about Mrs. Shao's story, what will you do if you cross the river and demolish the bridge afterwards?"

"You!" The chairman slapped the table angrily, "You told me to call Shuping over at the beginning, but now you're still playing tricks when someone comes over, are you playing tricks on me?"

Shen Ao raised his head and glanced at Ji Shuping, "Our two families are cooperating. It seems that I am not sincere if I don't say something interesting. Mrs. Shao just showed up and her background is unknown. Of course, she has to attack her in her private life. She hides too much. There are advantages and disadvantages to a clean background, even if you don’t have one, you can make one up, like an illegitimate child.”

Ji Shuping clenched his fists, "He deliberately circumvented the barrier so much, we seem to have to postpone the consideration of the cooperation relationship."

Shen Ao smiled and put down the coffee in his hand, "I'll go to the toilet if I drink too much coffee."

When the people walked away, Ji Shuping immediately said, "I don't agree to cooperate with the Shen family!"

"He clearly knows something." The chairman took a sip of the coffee in front of him at this moment, "Otherwise, how could he be so calm."

Ji Shuping gritted his teeth and was about to get up, but the chairman stopped him, "Sit down!" Ji Shuping looked at the door of the conference room and sat down again.

Shang Xuechen drove downstairs to Qi Liang's house, turned his head to look at the gift box in the back seat of the car, leaned over, picked up the gift box in the back seat, got off the car and went upstairs.

Qi Liang stood in the living room and looked at the cleaned house, then at the suitcase standing in the middle of the living room, smiled and then looked down at the postcard in his hand.He supported the sofa and sat down on the floor in front of the coffee table, took a pen and began to write on the back of the postcard.

Halfway through writing, the pen stopped.Qi Liangka stopped here, not knowing how to write down.The black fountain pen in my hand has been left for too long and some oil has leaked, and the nib of the pen has been hanging on the paper for too long, dripping a small puddle on the paper.Qi Liang put down the pen in a panic, only then did he see that his hands were stained with black ink, and in a hurry, he rubbed his hands together, which became more and more dirty.

The doorbell rang at this moment, Qi Liang had no choice but to get up and open the door.

Shang Xuechen smiled at Qi Liang who came to open the door, Qi Liang saw that his complexion was not very good, his pale skin was getting more and more red, but Shang Xuechen looked like he didn't want to say more, Qi Liang didn't want to say anything. He didn't ask much, just turned his body sideways to let him in, "Come in and sit down." As soon as Shang Xuechen entered, he saw several suitcases standing in the living room.

"Really think about it?"

Qi Liang closed the door, turned around and walked into the living room, "Actually, I didn't think much about it, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted if I think too much. Let's go with your own feelings first. Come and sit on the sofa."

Shang Xuechen followed Qi Liang to the coffee table. He saw that Qi Liang was sitting directly on the ground and he simply sat down on the ground, just sitting opposite to Qi Liang.

"I have something for you."

"I have something for you."

The two spoke at the same time, and then laughed together after speaking.

"What is it?" Qi Liang asked Shang Xuechen with a smile.

Shang Xuechen raised the item in his hand and handed it to Qi Liang, "It's a gift from Brother Zhou when he got married. You didn't come, Jiajia asked me to bring it to you."

"Thank you." Qi Liang smiled and reached out to take it.Shang Xuechen saw the ink on his hands, lowered his head and noticed the postcard on the table with some words written on it, he asked Qi Liang, "What are you writing?"

Qi Liang flipped through the postcard hastily, "I didn't write anything." Guiltyly pressed the gift box on the postcard, "By the way, I have something for you too."

Shang Xuechen didn't ask what Qi Liang wrote on the postcard anymore, and gently uncovered it for him, "What do you want to give me?"

Qi Liang took out the card from his mouth and put it in front of him, "This is the bank card you gave me before, and I haven't touched a cent of the money in it. I will return it to you now."

"Qi Liang, you don't have to pay me back!"

Qi Liang smiled and shook his head, "I lied to you before. I didn't owe Shen Ao any money, that's not what I owed him." Having said this, Qi Liang couldn't help but sigh, Qi Liang got up and went to the kitchen Walk.Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at him, and then looked back at the postcard that was pressed under the gift box with a corner exposed.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, let's have a drink tonight, and it will be done for me." Qi Liang came back and sat down with a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Shang Xuechen looked at Qi Liang's wine on the table with some embarrassment, "Qi Liang...I'm giving up drinking."

"Ah, that's right." Qi Liang showed a little disappointment on his face, "This is a bottle of wine that I specially treasured. Otherwise, let's drink water."

Shang Xuechen saw the disappointment flashing across Qi Liang's face, and felt that he was a little unkind, so he changed his tune, "Then just have a drink. It's okay to have a drink."

Qi Liang smiled and nodded, "Well, then you can have a drink, and the rest will be mine." After speaking, he opened the wine immediately and poured a glass for Shang Xuechen.

Shang Xuechen picked up the wine glass with a smile and drained it, "Good wine."

Qi Liang saw that he drank all the wine, so he just poured it for himself with a smile, "You drank in such a hurry, and now you don't have another drink, if you can taste the taste, you can call it good wine."

Shang Xuechen stuck out his tongue, stretched out the wine glass in front of Qi Liang, "How about I have another drink?"

"No. How can you go back on your word." Qi Liang raised his hand and was about to take a sip of wine while talking.Before the wine was touched, the doorbell rang again. Shang Xuechen looked back at the door and asked Qi Liang, "Did you call someone else?"

"No." Qi Liang put down his wine glass, got up and walked towards the gate, "Maybe it's the property."

Shang Xuechen turned his head to look at Qi Liang's figure walking towards the gate, and suddenly felt something blurry in front of his eyes, and Qi Liang's shadow suddenly doubled in his eyes.Shang Xuechen shook his head again, wondering that his drinking capacity should not be too large to hold a glass, and just thinking about it made him faint and fell down.He fell to the ground with half-opened eyes, vaguely saw Qi Liang open the door, and someone opened the door violently, and he heard Qi Liang exclaim, "Shen Ao!"
