Chapter 95



A silence fell over the room.

The rain outside clattered, falling on the glass and flowing down with some meandering water marks. Shen Cheng's slender fingers held the small black gold VR helmet, because of Jian Shiwu's words, his movements had a momentary pause, then he opened his lips and said, "That is not an act of crossing the line."

Jian Shiwu's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

He heard Shen Cheng's low, magnetic voice whisper, "That is a matter of love, but not of etiquette."

What a rogue's explanation.

The young man's wrists were bandaged and smelled faintly of medicine, and his face was serene, as if the two people were in harmony, like a young couple who had been together for many years.

"What?"

Shen Cheng lifted his head, the man's face straightened as he looked at him inquiringly and said, "You don't like me kissing you?"

What?

Jian Shiwu blushed at the question.

He took a deep breath, his eyes darted left and right but did not look at him, stammering: "Then if I say I don't like it, you won't kiss me?"

Shen Cheng did not hesitate: "No."

"......"

Bandit Logic

Don't you think you are a bit rebellious?

Thinking back to when Shen Cheng was a young child, so simple and kind (not). He actually had a subtle misconception of watching a small milk dog turn into a fierce beast with sharp teeth showing, growing up too fast to really keep up.

Shen Cheng gave him the box in his hand, "It's ready."

Jian Shiwu took it, and when he remembered all of a sudden, he said, "This thing, does Xie Feng have it too?”

Shen Cheng moved with a start.
The dark, deep eyes looked at him for a moment, as if they could see straight inti heart.

The way Shen Cheng looked at him made him feel weak: "I just asked because I heard that Xie Feng seems to like this stuff."

"He doesn't." Shen Cheng said

Jian Shiwu couldn't control it for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curved, "Got it."

Shen Cheng inquired meaningfully, "Do you want me to get one for him too?"

"No!"

Jian Shiwu blurted out, and after speaking, he meet Shen Cheng’s narrow eyes and was somehow embarrassed. He felt that he rejected it too quickly so he began to make amends and said, "This is very difficult to deal with? It's too much trouble, don’t disturb yourself.”

After expressing his intentions, Shen Cheng naturally saw what Jian Shiwu was thinking at a glance. He thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not troublesome for me."

Jian’s face changed slightly.

But then Shen Cheng said in a faint voice: "But his matters have nothing to do with me."

Jian Shiwu looked at him in surprise, Shen Cheng got up from the ground, the man was tall and big, suddenly standing up like a mountain, gives people a sense of oppression, he bent down slightly, and he was face to face with Jian Shiwu, their breath close together, creating an ambiguous atmosphere, and he opened his lips and said, "So don't worry about those unnecessary things."

Jian Shiwu's hands unconsciously gripped the bed sheet, his mouth not matching his heart: “Who, who is worried."

Shen Cheng hooked his lips, "Then, good night."

He got up and headed out, his long, slender legs reaching the door in a few steps, and just as Jian Shiwu was having a little confusion, the man at the door paused, "Right."

Jane Shiwu turned his head to look at him.

In the light, the youth's face was flushed, his eyes were watery, and he looked exactly like a lamb to be slaughtered, while the man at the door was calm and steady. Shen Cheng's handsome face looked cold in the light, but the words that left his lips were rather warm: "Don't be too scared, I'll be staying next door tonight."

?

Jian Shiwu asked him with some surprise, "Aren't you going to sleep in your room."

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him meaningfully, his gaze prodding, “Who let someone be timid."

"......"

Cruel.

Jian Shiwu was just about to speak when another thunderclap exploded outside the window, stimulating the man to freeze, he drew a breath backwards and managed to slow his heart down. He heard Shen Cheng at the door saying, "Want me to stay a little longer?"

Jian Shiwu hurried him, "No."

"Hmm." Shen Cheng pointed to the jacket sitting by the bed, "I’ll leave that with you, will just pretend there are people in the room."

?

What kind of weird logic is this!

The only thing left in the room were the earplugs and eye muffs, the black and gold OF, and a jacket Shen Cheng brought at some unknown point. But it seemed to be the jacket he usually wore when he was at home, but come on, he wouldn't really use a jacket as a spiritual support, he wasn't a three year old sleeping with a doll.

Jian Shiwu was disdainful as he took the jacket and threw it on the sofa, then went straight under the covers and went to bed. The storm continued outside the window, with the rain running down the glass in sinuous trails, and the thunderstorms kept falling.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the room, and a gale swept through the wind.

The clump in the quilt hesitated for a while, and finally gave up. He quickly lifted the quilt and ran to the sofa to hug the jacket. After returning to the bed, he hugged the jacket in his arms and covered himself with a quilt. There was faint fragrance from Shen Cheng's body, as if that person was really right beside him, which was very reassuring. The person who had tossed and turned around closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

......



Day 2


In lieu of an alarm clock calling out to him early in the morning, there was a knock on the door from the maid. He had to go to the office and clock in before he could drive to the west side of the city, which was a waste of time, so he had to get there early.

There was a rich breakfast on the table downstairs, the Ji family were all sitting up there eating, in the middle was Grandma, followed by Ji Yuanfeng, Linda, Xie Feng, and Shen Cheng who had also just arrived. The family’s house rules were very strict and there was no sound at all at meals.

From afar, Xie Feng saw Jian Shiwu coming down the stairs and his gaze darkened.

The old woman, who had always been rude with him, smiled when she saw Jian Shiwu: "Jian, awake, ah."

Jian Shiwu greeted the elders, "Hello Grandma, hello Uncle Ji, hello Mrs Linda!"

Xie Feng smiled at him.

Jane Shiwu waved at him, "Good morning."

Grandma said to Jian Shiwu, "Come and eat."

"No, Grandma, I'm going to be late." Jian Shiwu glanced at his watch, smiled and said, "I'll eat next time, I have to go first."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he ran away.

Xie Feng stole a glance at the old lady, if it was any other time, the old lady would have been unhappy and said he was out of ordef.

Sure enough, the old woman glanced at Shen Cheng and said, "Is it so busy he has to go to work without eating in the morning? Xiao Cheng, I heard that he is an intern in our group, you shouldn't be so rigid about the rules, you still have to take care of him. After all, he just came started working while so young, so don't be so strict."

Shen Cheng nodded.

He said to the butler next to him, "Pack some pastry to go."

The housekeeper hastily contacted the kitchen, and Jian Shiwu, who was waiting in the car, soon saw the car door open and Shen Cheng sitting in the car before handing him the paper box in his hand, "Eat it."

Jian Shiwu took it: "It smells good."

The driver started the car, Shen Cheng sat on his side, and watched Jian Shiwu take the box away, white hands pinching the small meat buns into his mouth, eating reservedly but it is not difficult to that he had an appetite. Shen Cheng opened his lips: "You are hungry, why did not stay at the table to eat?”

Jian Shiwu looked up, his big round eyes full of innocence: "I was afraid of being late."

Shen Cheng looked at him quietly.

Being looked at by him like that, Jane Shiwu was a bit guilty and had to tell the truth: "Well actually I was afraid of being embarrassed to meet with other people."

He really didn’t know how to face the family ah. Others first determine the relationship and then meet the parents, but because they have known each other since childhood, it’s considered he met the parents ago, but his identity is different, now, the idea is naturally different ah, who can not be embarassed ah.

Shen Cheng reached out and used a paper handkerchief to wipe off the remnants of his mouth, in a light voice: "Not used to it?"

Jian Shiwu meekly didn't say a word.

"I also have real estate in other places in City A." Shen Cheng took back his hand: "If you are not used to it, pick a favorite in the future and be closer to your economic company, and you can move in there.”

What, why all of a sudden talk about something so far away!

Jian Shiwu was a little shocked. He looked up at him. The early morning of summer fell in through the glass and the person who it dell on was warmed all over, as if he was also warmed to his heart. , It is undeniable that although he is surprised, his heart is happy.

Jian Shiwu took the cap of the soy milk twist bottle, afraid that Shen Cheng would think he was impudent: "I didn't say I hate grandma and the others, don't you have to give me some time to get used to it? Besides, we still have a long way to go. Don't think too much, these things in the future are still uncertain..."

Because he had his head down, he didn't see Shen Cheng's suddenly gloomy face.

Jian Shiwu who had already touched a minefield hadn’t reacted yet, and is was still going to continue to eat the small buns. He took a small bite, and just before he ate more, they were taken away by Shen Cheng. The man showed no mercy. Wearing a suit and leather shoes, Mr. Shen, looked like a gentleman but he stole his buns and methodically ate them.

?

Jian Shiwu froze: "You, why are you snatching my buns."

Shen Cheng lifted his eyes to look at him, his gaze falling on those red lips, his tone unkind: "What do you think"



"......"

How can a person bully someone and still be so righteous.

Jane Shiwu had some grievanves and bristled.

Then, he suddenly thought of a very important matter, and quickly put his grievances behind him, leaned closer and said, "We’ll be at the intersection of the company soon, you have to drop me off."

Shen Cheng: "Why?”

Jian said, "I can't let other people see me, you know there are a lot of people squatting at the door now, if people see us, it is very bad, you have to pay more attention."

Shen Cheng's tone was grim: "Is it a embarrassing to be with me?"

Or is it that Jian Shiwu was afraid of being seen by someone?

Who, Gu Duan?

When he thought of this, Shen Cheng's dark eyes deepened and his aura became somewhat dangerous, he narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that if he didn't get a satisfactory answer today, there would be no way to settle this.

Jian Shiwu said: "I'm recording a show. If fans and audiences see my relationship with you, I still don't know how to they’ll react, maybe saying that I’m relying on a backer. I don't want to be thought of like that, maybe my thoughts are a little naive now, but I have been taken care of by my parents since I was a child, and now that I am grown up, I don't want to live under the wings of anyond. I want …to be recognized by everyone for my own ability.”

Not because of whose son, nor because of whose lover, but because of himself, because of Jian Shiwu, that’s what he wants the world to accept him by.

Jian Shiwu just looked straight at Shen Cheng, his eyes full of sincerity and a clear, shallow thirst, and he seemed to always know how to make the man's heart soften and back down. Knowing full well that this was his own small ploy, Shen Cheng was silent for half a second, but still said to the driver, "Stop at the junction ahead."

The driver responded.

Jian Shiwu cheered a little, and a bright smile appeared on his face, because he was too happy, he rushed over, held the little bun in his hand, and used a kind of offer holding posture, the voice is clear and like a treasure: "Mr. Shen is really nice, Mr. Shen, please have a meal."

As long as one obeys him, not to mention grabbing buns to eat, soy milk is fine for him!

The car eventually slowed to a stop at the intersection.

Jian Shiwu gave him the steamed bun, grabbed his own bag and was about to get out of the car, but at the last moment had his wrist pulled. The man's palm was broad and powerful, and he easily pulled him back with absolute power, Jian Shiwu was not a small guy, but he feels that he has no strength to resist.

Shen Cheng's handsome face lowered slightly and he opened his lips to say, "I promise I won't let anyone else see us but..."

He was a businessman, and a good one at that, and businessmen don't do deals at a loss.

"I don't like cheating and I don't like to play ambiguous games." Shen Cheng sat beside him, not knowing when, his aura around him became somewhat stronger, his gaze fell intently on Jane Shiwu and he opened his lips and said, "You have to give me a status."

Jian Shiwu looked at Shen in front of him and actually felt that Shen Cheng was a little aggrieved as he said the last sentence.

  2. I still don't understand why Shen Chen's dad decided to get together with that lady. Does he like her or is it because he felt obligated because of that car accident. Somehow that lady Linda or Julia (I don't know which her name sometimes changes it confuses me) doesn't sound so good. Sometimes it feels like she have bad intentions but just gave up because she can't beat Shen Cheng and chose to just benefit by staying with the Ji family even without status. Aside from that I don't understand why she brought her son to live with them.....she sounds like she isn't really interested in raising her son so why did she bring her son there? Does she have other plans? Or am I just overthinking?
