"what!!!"
In the middle of the night, someone suddenly spoke in the empty living room. Ji Ting was so frightened that he screamed and turned his head back in horror. After seeing the unclear figure in the corridor, he was suddenly relieved, and fell powerlessly on the ground: "Why are you walking without making a sound?" Ah, scared the hell out of me..."
"Where are you going?"
Shen Tuchuan stood there motionless, the moonlight came in and fell on his black pajamas, giving off a cold glint. Coupled with the retro and luxurious decoration of the living room, he was like a vampire in the middle ages, with natural indifference and danger.
Ji Ting felt his heart ache from fright, completely ignored his expression, covered his eyes and said, "I can't sleep, so I just want to go out for a walk, and you, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?"
"I came out to get something," Shen Tuchuan paused after speaking, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
"... I'm not familiar with this place, and I can't find where the light is." Ji Ting calmed down and replied while taking a deep breath.
As soon as she finished speaking, the light turned on with a bang, and the living room was instantly lit up. Ji Ting narrowed her eyes subconsciously, and it took a while to get used to the light. At this time, Shen Tuchuan had already walked in front of her, with no emotion on his calm face. .
"Come on, let me familiarize you with the environment." Shen Tuchuan stretched out his hand towards her, with a slight smile on his lips.
Ji Ting was taken aback, bit his lip and handed him his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Did I disturb your rest?"
"No, I just came out by chance." After Shen Tuchuan finished speaking, he pulled her up from the ground, then turned and walked upstairs.
Ji Ting watched his steady steps, ignored the inexplicable and strange feeling, and said after following up: "You seem to be walking very naturally now."
"Well, technology is advancing very fast now." Shen Tuchuan smiled.
Ji Ting breathed a sigh of relief and followed her with a smile. Shen Tuchuan led her into the second floor, and said as he walked: "The first floor is the living room, the entire second floor is the study room, the third floor is the gymnasium video room, and the fourth floor is the living room." Our room, I'll take you to the study."
"Okay." Ji Ting was still thinking about the little iron ring, but he forgot about it when he interrupted him, and followed him curiously to familiarize himself with the environment.
As soon as you reach the stairs on the second floor, you can walk a few steps forward to see rows of bookshelves neatly arranged on both sides, leaving a two-meter-wide road in the middle. It is said to be a study room, but more like a library. Ji Ting followed Shen Tuchuan and looked around, looking at a rather large space and feeling: "Can you finish reading so many books?"
"It's okay, I've finished reading the columns here." Shen Tuchuan pointed to the right side.
Ji Ting was surprised: "There must be thousands of copies, are you sure you've read them all?"
"Well, I don't have much social life at ordinary times, so I just read at home to kill time." Seeing that she was slow to move forward, Shen Tuchuan reached out and grabbed her arm, leading her to speed up her pace.
Ji Ting followed him with half of his body sideways, and couldn't help looking up at him sympathetically. With so much money but no social life, he can only pass the time by reading, no wonder he will always be unhappy.
"With me here in the future, I won't be bored." Ji Ting looked at him with a smile. It's not easy to make money, but it's easy to spend time with him.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, and a slight smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I'll rely on you from now on."
"It's a trivial matter." Ji Ting raised his eyebrows.
The second floor has nothing but books and a set of desks and chairs at the end. Compared with the luxury of the living room, this place is simply poor.
"Just one chair, move another one tomorrow. If you want to read in the future, I'll come and read with you." Ji Ting suggested.
Shen Tuchuan nodded in agreement.
After visiting the study room, the two of them went to the audio-visual room to play games for a while. After playing two games, Shen Tuchuan turned off the machine: "It's too late, you should go to bed."
"I slept too much during the day, so I'm not sleepy." Ji Hearing yawned.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her helplessly: "If you don't sleep anymore, it will be dawn, do you want to be drowsy all day long?"
Ji Ting blinked: "I'm really not sleepy, even if I'm asked to go back and lie down, I can't fall asleep." After finishing speaking, he paused, feeling more and more that after ten years, she and Shen Tuchuan seem to have switched positions , she became the child who needed coaxing.
It was so embarrassing, Ji Ting's face was slightly hot, and he was about to say that he should go back to sleep, when Shen Tuchuan suggested: "Since you can't sleep, go to my room and have a cup of tea."
"Okay." Of course Ji Ting agreed.
So the two went upstairs again, and when they reached the stairs on the fourth floor, Ji Ting suddenly remembered something: "You haven't taken me to the fifth floor yet."
"The fifth floor is full of sundries. It hasn't been cleaned up for a long time. There will probably be a lot of dust." Shen Tuchuan's face remained unchanged, "It's better not to go."
Ji Ting thought about it too, not to mention that his nose was uncomfortable after walking around, and he had to take a shower when he came back, so he followed him to his room.
Shen Tuchuan's bedroom is only separated from hers by a wall, and the decoration is similar to hers, except that the corners of the furniture are not wrapped like in her room, and some design details are just as luxurious, but they tend to be more tough.
There was also a black mirror in the same position on the wall she was facing.
"Why put a mirror here?" Ji Ting asked doubts.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at it: "Oh, it's convenient to take care of your appearance when you go out."
"Why is it black?" Ji couldn't understand.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment: "It looks better than ordinary mirrors."
The reason was so simple, Ji Ting couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't struggle any more. After walking around the room, he couldn't help feeling: "I always thought you liked the simple style more, but I didn't expect you to like this extravagant style."
Regardless of whether it is in the original text or during the days when he lived with her, Shen Tuchuan has almost no material desires except for cleanliness. The corners are full of cumbersome details.
Shen Tuchuan made tea in front of the tea stand with his back turned to her. After putting the brewed tea into the pot, he poured a little grayish-yellow powder into it. Hearing Ji Ting's words, his expression didn't change much: "Do you like this style?"
Ji Ting seemed to have heard him ask the same question many times today, and Wen Yan said he liked it as before, then walked to the side of Shen Tuchuan, looked at the grayish-yellow powder in his hand, and wondered: "What is this?"
"Ginger powder, it's cold at night, drink some to drive away the cold." Shen Tuchuan put the powder into the drawer casually.
Ji Ting took a sniff of the tea, and sure enough, he smelled a faint smell of ginger, and couldn't help laughing: "You have started to keep healthy now?"
"Well, it's always right to pay more attention." Shen Tuchuan chuckled, took a teapot and sat down on the sofa, raised his hand and poured two cups, white smoke began to float out of the teacups instantly, and the fragrance of green tea permeated the whole room.
Hearing that he sat down opposite, Ji took a sip of the tea with enjoyment, then picked up the cup and took a sip carefully. The moment the hot tea slipped into his throat, a sense of comfort permeated his limbs. In a blink of an eye, a cup of tea was half down, Ji Ting put down the cup and sat down, his eyes kept looking around the room, and he couldn't help but go back to the topic after a while—
"I still think this style doesn't suit you. When did you start liking this style?"
"I don't like it very much." Shen Tuchuan leaned on the sofa relaxedly, not even moving the cup of tea in front of him.
Ji Ting paused, and looked at him strangely: "You don't like it and still decorate it like this?"
"Well," Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't you think this kind of house looks like a luxurious golden birdcage?"
Ji Ting was taken aback: "Where does it look like?" How are the birdcage and the villa connected? She feels that these ten years have not had no effect on her at all, at least for now, she feels that her mind is very difficult to use.
"It's very similar," Shen Tuchuan laughed, "A luxurious cage will kill the canary's yearning for freedom, and a luxurious house will also reduce people's tolerance for suffering. Both of these things can It gives people the ultimate enjoyment, and makes people gradually lose the desire to escape.”
After he finished speaking, he paused, and the smile on the corner of his mouth remained undiminished: "It doesn't matter if you want to escape, at least the cage is strong enough to imprison freedom."
Ji Ting heard him say so many words for the first time after time travel, but she couldn't understand.
She was silent for a long time, trying to keep up with his thoughts: "You mean, this kind of house will make people lose their minds? No, if it really has that function, shouldn't you give it to a competitor? Why live in it by yourself?" ?”
Shen Tuchuan chuckled, and didn't answer her non-questionable question.
The two of them sat face to face for a while, and Ji Ting felt that he was getting more and more sleepy, and his spirit became more and more lax.
After chatting for a few more words, Shen Tuchuan put down his teacup: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay." Ji Ting also put down the tea cup, watched Shen Tuchuan go to the bathroom, and then set his eyes on his cup.
Didn't take a sip, why go to the bathroom
The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched, he drank the last sip of tea in the cup, got up and walked around the room twice, just when he was bored, his eyes fell on his bed.
Did he have similar hoops on his bed
Ji Ting's expression moved slightly, he couldn't help walking forward, reached out and lifted a corner of the quilt, and fell into deep thought when he saw the same thing there—
What is this thing for
Just as she was thinking, Shen Tuchuan's voice sounded from behind: "What are you doing?"
Ji Ting paused for a moment, then looked back at him calmly: "I'm bored by myself, and I just thought that there was a strange iron ring on the bed in my room, so I wonder if you have any here."
"The results of it?"
"Here, it's the same," Ji Ting stood aside, revealing the iron ring behind her, "Do you know what this thing is for?"
"To tie you up," Shen Tuchuan turned around and sat down on the sofa, holding up the handle of the teacup with his slender fingers to play with. "Four rings and four chains are just right."
Ji Ting was suffocated, and her mind instantly remembered the conversation she had with the boy Shen Tuchuan before—
"I don't want to be separated from you either, but what if we do in the future?"
"I'll tie you up with a rope."
…
Ji Ting's face changed: "Are you serious?"
Shen Tuchuan paused, and gave her a weird look: "Do you believe it?"
"... You're telling the truth, can I not believe it?" Hearing his reaction, Ji knew he was joking, and was speechless for a while.
Shen Tuchuan snorted, and sincere sarcasm appeared in his 28-year-old mature eyes: "I'm just kidding, how old are you, and you still believe such childish words."
"It has nothing to do with age, it's because you are too good at deceiving people," Ji Ting gave him a sideways glance, "You haven't said what this thing is for."
"Because there are too many plants and trees here, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, so we often need to put up mosquito nets," Shen Tuchuan said calmly, "I don't like to use a shelf next to the bed to destroy the beauty, so I choose to bind the four corners, and then put a net on it." The middle of the mosquito net is hanging in the sky, understand?"
Ji Ting glanced at the bed, and found that the decorations hanging on it were exactly the same as those in his own room, which can be said to be very suitable for hanging mosquito nets.
She laughed: "You have a way."
"Of course, I've been thinking about this for years." Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes.
Ji Ting solved the doubts in his heart, and immediately relaxed, and then the backlog of sleepiness rushed in. After yawning for the fourth time, Shen Tuchuan put down the cup in his hand, and looked at her quietly.
Ji Ting sat crookedly on the chair, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he said dully for a while: "I may be sleepy..."
"Well, go to sleep."
Ji Ting's eyelids closed slowly, and his breathing quickly became even. Before he fell into a deep sleep, he only heard Shen Tuchuan say 'good night', and then he didn't know anything.
She slept very deeply this time, and it was not until dawn that she faintly felt that she was about to wake up. Gradually returning to consciousness, she felt that there seemed to be a person lying beside her, and that person was staring at her with eyes that made her scalp tingle.
After struggling to wake up, the first thing I did was to look to the side, but I didn't see anything. Ji Tingfa was stunned for a while before realizing that the place where he was lying at the moment was his own room.
Even after sleeping here a few times, it still feels strange. Ji Ting pressed his temple, sat up and looked at everything around him in confusion.
... Didn't she drink tea in Shen Tuchuan's room yesterday? Ji Ting blinked her eyes, she was sure she didn't remember anything about it, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, why is everyone drunk, why is she so useless to drink tea
She sighed and got up to wash, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't changed clothes. Just as she was struggling, the phone rang suddenly from the corner of the room, and she trembled in fright, only then did she see that there was a landline there. Ji Ting paused and went to answer.
"Did it wake you up?" Shen Tuchuan's voice came from the phone, maybe he had just woken up, his voice was still a little hoarse, and there was an inexplicable... danger in the early morning
Ji Ting felt a little embarrassed, coughed and replied: "No, I just woke up too."
"Well, let's wash up and have breakfast."
"it is good."
Ji Ting went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she wrapped her bath towel and dried her hair, she saw that there seemed to be more red spots on her neck, and some of them were as red as bloodshot, which looked very scary.
… Some people look so rich, but they are reluctant to buy a bottle of deworming medicine.
Ji Ting clicked his tongue, stretched out his hand to touch the red mark, and seeing that it was not painful, he didn't care about it any more, and turned around to find a change of clothes.
She originally changed into a light yellow sweater and paired it with a pair of jeans. After changing, she went to the mirror and looked in front of the mirror. She looked less than twenty. She pinched her chin, thinking that she hadn't changed from ten years ago I don't know if Shen Tuchuan knew about this matter.
After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he should not be able to see it. Even if he could see it, she could also say that it was because of good genes that she was born not to look old, and it wasn't twenty or thirty years old, so it was always reasonable.
Thinking of this, Ji Ting calmed down, put on a ponytail and went out.
The breakfast is also made by Shen Tuchuan, boiled eggs, milk and bread, it can be said to be quite simple. Ji Ting sat down and took a piece of bread, and after eating two bites, he looked at Shen Tuchuan who was facing him, and saw that he was wearing a neat formal suit and a gold-rimmed mirror, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to work?"
"The company has nothing to do, so I don't need to go today." Shen Tuchuan said slowly.
Ji Ting was envious: "That's great."
"Isn't it better that you don't have to work?" Shen Tuchuan looked at her amusedly.
Ji Ting coughed: "If you want me to go out to work, I'm fine."
"Forget it, you didn't like going to work before, and if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be able to go to work," Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, and helped her peel an egg and put it on a plate, "Now it's time for me to repay your favor, you just Enjoy the happiness at home."
If she was a normal person, she would be somewhat embarrassed to hear what he said, but Ji couldn't listen to it. She could eat for free when she heard it. She was so happy that she choked when eating eggs.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The egg seemed to have choked into the lungs, Ji Ting coughed violently, his chest became sore from the severe cough, and the corners of his eyes were stained with tears.
Shen Tuchuan's face darkened suddenly, and he stepped forward and pinched her cheek, forcing her to spit out the half-chewed egg. Seeing that she didn't spit it out, he directly pressed his fingers against her lips and teeth, and Ji Ting let out a wow Spit on the table, coughing finally stopped.
Shen Tuchuan reached out to wipe the stains from the corners of her lips, and poured water to feed her with his own hands.
Ji Ting coughed half his life away, so he drank a few sips of water with his hands before he collapsed on the chair as if collapsed.
"Why don't you pay attention?" Shen Tuchuan's expression was cold and grim, and the air pressure in his body was so low that it seemed to overflow with black breath.
Ji Ting was frightened by his expression, and stared at him blankly with tears in his eyes. Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, and his expression eased: "How old are you, and you still don't know what's important."
As he spoke, he took a tissue to help her wipe the dirt off her clothes, his brows and eyes were soft as if he was not the same person as before.
Ji Ting pursed his lips, seeing him cleaning up without raising his head, he felt that he must have read it wrong just now. Twenty-eight-year-old Shen Tuchuan is a very gentleman, why would he yell at her for an egg.
"Thank you..." As soon as he said a word, Ji Ting was startled by his own hoarse voice.
Shen Tuchuan also heard it, and comforted him in a low voice: "It's because of vomiting, my throat shouldn't be hurt, just drink more water."
"... Hmm." Ji Ting looked at more and more tissues on the ground, and finally realized the embarrassment belatedly.
She, Ji Ting, an outstanding modern professional elite, almost choked to death on an egg in a novel, and she was in front of the male partner she wanted to capture.
... what a shame.
Shen Tuchuan helped her clean up almost, and pulled her up from the chair: "Go and wash it, I will deal with it here later."
"...Okay." Ji Ting was sullen.
Shen Tuchuan looked up at her, and a smile flashed in his eyes after seeing the thin red on her face: "It's okay, it's just an accident."
"Have you ever seen this kind of accident happen to anyone other than me?" Ji Ting drooped the corners of his mouth, and even his sharp eyebrows were not aggressive anymore.
Shen Tuchuan was stopped by her question, and he said slowly for a while: "Why don't I choke too?"
"...That's not necessary, just don't laugh at me." Ji Ting gave him a careful look, and really felt that if he dared to laugh at this time, she would definitely hit the wall with shame.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time, then smiled lightly: "I won't be angry, but if I don't pay attention next time, I will be angry."
Ji Ting's heart skipped a beat, and he interrupted him just as he was about to speak: "Go and change your clothes, and I'll clean it up too."
Only then did Ji Ting see a stain on his trousers, and there were mottled marks on his hands, which he probably got when he vomited just now.
"I'm sorry..." Ji Ting felt really embarrassed now, looking dejected like a cat that hasn't caught a fish.
Shen Tuchuan wanted to touch her head, but he stopped after seeing his hand, and comforted him gently: "It's okay, I'll clean it up, and when you come to my room, I'll get you something."
"… Um."
The two went upstairs together, and went back to each room separately in the corridor. Ji Ting sighed after returning to the room, ran to the bathroom to wash, and came out with another set of clothes.
It's still sweater and jeans, but it's changed to dark colors. Ji Ting thinks that Shen Tuchuan's understanding of himself must have stopped ten years ago, otherwise why would he have prepared such student-like clothes for her.
After changing her clothes, remembering that Shen Tuchuan said to let her go to his room, Ji Ting wiped her hair casually and went out. When she saw the door was open, she thought it was the door he left for her, so she went in directly.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard the sound of rushing water in the bathroom. Ji Ting looked around, sat down on the sofa, and found a magazine to pass the time.
After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, she immediately put down the magazine and greeted her, the moment the bathroom door opened, she and Shen Tuchuan met each other's eyes.
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ji Ting smiled sarcastically: "You, why didn't you change your clothes before you came out?" Shen Tuchuan in front of him only wore a bath towel around his waist, his upper body was still dripping with water, and his whole body smelled like the clothes he brought from the bathroom. out of the heat.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a while: "This seems to be my room."
Ji Ting heard his implication, and bit the bullet to retort: "If you hadn't opened the door to let me in, I wouldn't have run over suddenly."
"I forgot to close that door. It wasn't a door specially reserved for you." Shen Tuchuan closed the bathroom door and wiped his hair with a towel in one hand. Slip down and end up in the towel.
... Co-author is she misunderstood? The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched, seeing the scene in front of him, he was suddenly speechless.
Twenty-eight-year-old Shen Tuchuan is exercising regularly...
Ji Ting's eyes scanned from top to bottom, and paused when he saw the prosthetic leg under the knee of his left leg.
"This stainless steel bracket is lighter than artificial prosthetics, and it's not bad to use at home." Shen Tuchuan knew what she wanted to ask, so he patiently explained.
Ji listened, and saw that his left leg hadn't shrunk due to disability, presumably it was managed well, and felt a little comforted in his heart.
She coughed, touched her nose and changed the subject: "By the way, what did you call me for?"
"The driver gave me a box of chocolates before, and I threw it in the house. I remembered it when I was eating just now. I think you should like it, so I asked you to come and get it."
Ji Ting nodded obediently, his gaze went up and down according to the amount of nodding, and finally stopped at his waist. The bath towel just completely covered the birthmark, so I couldn't see it at all.
I don't know what color it is now. Without the hatred for Li Tuo, even if he is not happy, he shouldn't have too much color.
... I really want to see woo woo.
"Is there anything else?" Shen Tuchuan's voice sounded above his head, and Ji Ting, who was guilty of guilt, immediately stood up straight and shook his head innocently.
"fine."
Shen Tuchuan's eyes swept over her face lightly, and a smile flashed across his eyes: "If you have nothing to do, go eat chocolate, I'll change clothes, the chocolate is on the coffee table."
Ji Ting's mind is full of birthmarks now, he nodded indiscriminately when he heard the words, and ran to find chocolate. Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, then turned and went to the cloakroom.
Ji Ting found the iron box of chocolates. After opening it, he saw four or five pieces of chocolate inside. He picked up one and bit it down. A rich aroma of wine filled his mouth instantly. The mellow wine and sweet chocolate taste really good.
Looking at the pieces of chocolate, Shen Tuchuan's abdominal muscles appeared in her mind again, and then there was a place that was blocked and could not be seen.
If only ten years ago, she could still shamelessly coax the children to show her the birthmark. It's a pity that Shen Tuchuan is a few years older than her now, she really can't do the shitty thing, even if she can, Shen Tuchuan will probably think of her as crazy.
Ji Ting sighed, and stuffed the last piece of chocolate into his mouth, the more he ate, the more sad he became, thinking that even the chocolate was gone, tears were about to fall.
Shen Tuchuan changed into his pajamas and came out, when he saw a little girl who was about to cry, he paused: "What's wrong?"
Ji Ting looked at him, his freshly washed hair fell down softly, covering his smooth forehead, and with the casual clothes, he looked younger.
But if you reduce your age, you will be twenty-eight, and you are not soft and cute at all. Ji Ting curled his lips and shed tears bitterly: "Xiao Chuan, come here."
Shen Tuchuan frowned and walked over. As soon as he got close, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol, and finally knew why she was so abnormal.
"Come closer." Ji Ting sat on the carpet, leaning on the sofa to pull him, Shen Tuchuan had to sit on the ground with her.
Ji Ting wiped away his tears, stretched out his hand to hug his arm, and begged in a pitiful and humble tone: "You take off your pants and let me see, okay?"
"..."
The author has something to say: Chuaner: I admire Ji Ting, who dares to provoke him when he is about to die
Let me tell you, tomorrow's update is also at 12 o'clock in the morning, there is no way to make a meal, after these two days, the list will return to normal time (100 random red envelopes in this chapter)
