If Shen Zimo really wanted to conquer Cheng Ji, his methods would be at least ten times better than Qi Beisong's. Of course, Qi Beisong was not a normal reference.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Shen Zimo was stationed at Changkang Hospital every day. He was more punctual than punching in and out at get off work, and even more diligent than Cheng Ji himself. The two inevitably became familiar with each other.
Shen Zimo is definitely not a bad person. It can be said that he is more gentle and considerate than most people. But he is no longer the person in the original novel. He is very proactive and takes every step carefully.
Cheng Ji was very scared and buried his head in playing mobile games.
Shen Zimo played along. He was indeed a talented man and even played the game better than others. After playing a few games, Cheng Ji found that he was no match for him and could only stare blankly.
Shen Zimo loved Cheng Ji's unconvinced look, and the way he looked at him was almost dripping with tears.
Cheng Ji felt like the skin on his back had been ripped off by being looked at.
It's okay to just watch, but he actually did it.
Cheng Ji was puzzled and suspected that he had three hands, because playing games required two hands, so where did he get an extra hand to touch people
Shen Zimo always put his hands on him intentionally or unintentionally, mostly on his shoulders and arms, and occasionally touching his waist.
Normally he would dodge when being touched on the waist, but there were times when he didn't dodge, like that day when he was so engrossed in the game that he realized after defeating the mini-boss that Shen Zimo's face was very close to him, almost touching his face.
Cheng Ji dodged too hastily and fell off the stool with his phone. Shen Zimo was not embarrassed and pulled him up and asked with a smile: "Do you want to fight again?"
"I... don't want to fight anymore!" Cheng Ji said, "I want to go out for a run!"
"I'll run with you." Shen Zimo said.
“No, no.” Cheng Ji waved his hands quickly, “I run faster…faster, you can’t catch up with me!”
Shen Zimo squinted his eyes: "If you don't try, how do you know you can't catch up?"
Cheng Ji grabbed his shoe and ran away.
The temperature was extremely low that day, and his ears almost froze off when he first started running along the lake, but he didn't dare go back for fear of being touched.
Another time, he just couldn't get past a certain level in the game, so Shen Zimo came to help him. Not only did he lean down to almost hug him, he even covered his hand to press the screen.
He endured for more than ten seconds and then broke free.
He was very angry because he was playing games and others were playing games on him.
Shen Zimo was able to remain calm. After helping him operate the game character, he saw him pick up the kettle to go to the water room to get some water, so he tried to grab it: "Let me do it."
Cheng Ji dodged angrily, staring at him with his dark, flashing eyes: "Please don't do this!"
"What about me?" Shen Zimo asked.
"Like this!" Cheng Jilian's ears turned red with embarrassment.
He couldn't express it, he was very shy in nature, although he was full of dirty words like fuck you and fuck him, but when he was really wronged, he wanted to save face, especially when facing a familiar face, he couldn't even say a harsh word.
He turned and walked away, but was hugged from behind by Shen Zimo.
"I was wrong, don't think too much." Shen Zimo said softly, "I started learning painting when I was five years old, and I like all beautiful things. I think you are very beautiful, like a doe in the morning mist in the forest, so sometimes I can't help but want to touch you. There is no other meaning, and I won't do this again in the future."
Cheng Ji growled, "Let go!"
Shen Zimo decisively let go of his hand and smiled, "We are good friends. Everyone loves beauty. Please forgive me, an art student, for my bad habits!"
Cheng Ji had never met an art student before him, and he didn't know whether those who studied painting really had these problems or whether Shen Zimo was making it up. He could only emphasize: "Don't allow this in the future!"
"No, I promise." Shen Zimo smiled.
Cheng Ji was fooled by him. A day or two later, he looked up the dictionary and found out that "牝鹿" refers to a mature female deer. Who does he think he is
The original work is ruined, and the character of the original protagonist is also ruined. Isn't this making things difficult for innocent people
The only thing that made Cheng Ji happier was that Manager Zhou Zhiwen of Shuiyue Villa came to visit him in the hospital and gave him 10,000 yuan.
Of course he refused to take it, but Manager Zhou insisted, saying, "Use this money to pay off part of the debt owed to the Fourth Hospital first, and then find a way to pay the rest. Consider it a loan from me. This is my private money, and it's not easy to save it without telling my wife!"
"Brother Zhou, there's really no need!" Cheng Ji said.
Manager Zhou smiled and said, "Everyone relies on friends to get by. I'm helping you now, and you have to help me in the future."
Cheng Ji didn't quite understand.
"Brother Zhou, I've come to this point, how can I help you?"
Manager Zhou has been involved in the glamorous world of Shuiyue Villa for more than ten years, but he has maintained a rare good heart and is kind to Cheng Ji.
In order to reduce the pressure of this kindness on Cheng Ji, he had thought about it before coming, for example, to lend Cheng Ji exactly 10,000 yuan, the amount should be neither too much nor too little. If it is less, it will be indifferent, and if it is more, Cheng Ji will definitely not accept it.
He is also smart and flexible, and has a little selfish motive. He feels that the relationship between Cheng Ji and Qi Beisong is not ordinary.
No matter who it is, as long as he can climb up Qi Beisong, it is equivalent to climbing up a real dragon. Although he does not want to soar into the sky, one more friend means one more way, especially a broad road like Qi Beisong.
Of course, selfishness only accounts for 10%, no more.
"Remember to pay me back," he said with a smile, "I haven't smoked for two years to save this little!"
Cheng Ji couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so he held the money and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. I will definitely pay you back!"
Manager Zhou also laughed: "Okay, it's a deal, you come to my place to wash dishes from now on!"
"Swish!" Cheng Ji agreed readily.
After Manager Zhou left, Cheng Ji rushed to the Fourth Hospital to pay off his debts. He happened to meet Dr. Zhu, Ms. Cheng's attending physician. Dr. Zhu was quite surprised and said, "You have money so soon? The guarantee I gave you is that you will pay it back within two years."
Cheng Ji said with a grin, "I'll take money from Peter to pay Paul. Anyway, I can't bring shame to you!"
Doctor Zhu threw a bag of chocolates to him and said, "Handsome boy, good things will come after bad times. I wish you a good life."
Cheng Ji ran with a smile on his face, and his brisk steps gradually became heavy until he reached the entrance of Changkang Hospital.
He doesn't want to see Shen Zimo...
He had asked himself this question many times and was sure that he did not like Shen Zimo. He also felt that he had rejected Shen Zimo very clearly. However, Shen Zimo seemed like a Tai Chi master, who was slow in his approach but had a sharp tongue.
When he reacted strongly, Shen Zimo would slow down and retreat; when he let down his guard, Shen Zimo would regain lost ground and take advantage of him.
His face was touched when he was dozing off, his back was touched when he was sleeping, and even his door was broken into when he was taking a shower.
—That time was really weird. He had just taken off his clothes and hadn't had time to turn on the shower when the phone rang again. Shen Zimo pushed the door open without saying a word. He was so scared that he almost slipped on the cold tile floor and it took him a long time to recover.
Thinking about it afterwards, that call might have been made by Shen Zimo himself.
If he was discovered and pushed away, Shen Zimo would explain with a smile that he loved beauty and it was not illegal to look at him.
Cheng Ji really had no way to deal with him. As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and he has helped a lot. In the current situation, Cheng Ji really didn't have the energy to rent another house to store his things, and he didn't have the mood to move again.
He had no choice but to stick to his guns and endure.
These days he missed Qi Beisong terribly. He thought about what he said, "Let's fight," "I'm very tough," "Do you want to practice?", "Is it fun?" At least that guy was straightforward and had no other meaning, and throwing him down a few times could help him vent his negative emotions.
The most valuable thing is that although Qi Beisong is a lesbian, he is not interested in him and is just looking for a beating. How noble, simple, sincere and moral he is. He is free from vulgarity and beneficial to the people!
Lao Qi, Lao Qi, how come you disappeared without a trace? When will you return home
———————
While waiting to return to China at the airport terminal, Lao Qi sneezed several times in succession, rubbing his nose and asking, "Who missed me?"
He sighed: Anyone could miss me, except that little bastard of mine. I can't sleep because I miss him so much!
Chen Chuan took out a facial mask from his bag and gave it to him: "Mr. Qi, would you like to apply a facial mask?"
Qi Beisong asked curiously, "Why do you want to apply a facial mask?"
Chen Chuan said, "Aren't you going back to China to see Cheng Cheng? The dark circles under your eyes are bigger than ping-pong balls. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?"
"What did you call him?" Qi Beisong narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"I call him Brother Cheng." Chen Chuan changed his words very quickly, not caring that Cheng Ji was four or five years younger than him.
Qi Beisong finally didn't say anything like "call me young madam" and took the mask and asked, "Are my dark circles really that serious?"
Chen Chuan nodded, thinking that he was like suffering from lovesickness.
Qi Bei took out his sunglasses and put them on, saying, "A grown man can be a little rough, so why would you use a facial mask? If you don't use it now, you will be flying in the sky for more than ten hours, so you will have plenty of time to use one. And this one won't work, change me to one with intensive care."
Chen Chuan resigned himself to rummaging through his luggage. Fortunately, he had been careful enough not to check in these things.
He asked Qi Beisong: "What did Boss Lei say?"
These days, Qi Beisong asked Lei Jing to help keep an eye on Changkang Hospital and report on Cheng Ji's situation once or twice a day, but they were in single-line contact and did not post the news in the group.
"Same old." Qi Beisong said, "Your brother Cheng is being entangled by a handsome snake! That snake is really capable. It took advantage of the opportunity and tricked Cheng Ji into losing his mind with sweet words. He gave away his home and his body. All the heavily armored straight men in the world can see his intentions, but your brother Cheng can't!"
"Brother Cheng is a bit slow in this area." Chen Chuan said.
Qi Beisong unlocked his phone and watched one of the short videos with jealousy.
That was a secret shot taken by Lei Jing. In the picture, Cheng Ji was sitting and Shen Zimo was standing. Cheng Ji was almost half-held in Shen Zimo's arms, but he was still staring at the phone intently, pressing the buttons quickly and cursing the game designer, with no awareness of his situation at all.
In the video, Shen Zimo hugged him for a minute or two as he wished, and even put his hand into his down jacket and pressed it against Cheng Ji's waist. The latter then dodged and said, "It's itchy, don't touch it."
Qi Beisong couldn't bear it any longer, so he closed the video, gnashed his teeth and said, "Just wait and see how I'll kill the snake and offer it to the gods when I get back! You're such a f*cking monster, how dare you steal my baby!"
——
That morning, the old man who had been lying by the door and in a coma for more than a month died quietly. He was then sent to the morgue. His family members, whom he had not seen for a long time, finally gathered at the hospital and took away his few personal belongings.
Cheng Ji was in a low mood for several hours because of this. But humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless
Shen Zimo, on the contrary, was secretly happy in his heart because there was finally only one patient, Ms. Cheng, left in the ward. This meant there were two empty beds. Not only could he be alone with Cheng Ji, but he could also stay overnight.
Of course, it would be best to share a bed with Cheng Ji, but unfortunately after that bathroom break-in incident, Cheng Ji was always as nervous as a hedgehog, his dark eyes wide open with three big words flashing in them - don't come over here.
Shen Zimo looks pure and simple, but extremely persistent. He decided that Cheng Ji is a pure and straight man. He didn't care whether Cheng Ji would reject him eight hundred times. Anyway, if the first plan failed, he would come up with another one and break through in multiple directions!
He knew one of Cheng Ji's weaknesses, which was that Cheng Ji was very soft-hearted and could never really swallow his pride and do nothing. It was as if he was always afraid of hurting others, and he would even put himself in a difficult position and tolerate others.
For example, although he was very good at close combat, he had never touched Shen Zimo. Even when the latter behaved inappropriately or even flirted with him, he never made a move. He just dodged and blushed as he dodged.
Shen Zimo felt that he was probably the only person in the world who noticed this trait of Cheng Ji, and he secretly felt indescribably proud.
He decided to stay overnight from that night and keep pressing Cheng Ji, hoping that one day Cheng Ji would accept it.
Everyone needs a companion. Cheng Ji has been supporting himself for a long time. Although he doesn't admit it, he may have subconsciously regarded him as a companion.
That evening, Cheng Ji went running around the artificial lake again. Because he was in a bad mood, he ran nearly five kilometers in one breath and came back covered in sweat.
Seeing Shen Zimo was still there, Cheng Ji asked, "When will you return to school?"
Shen Zimo asked back: "Do you want to drive me away so much?"
"No..." Cheng Ji rubbed his short stubble and muttered, "Because it's getting dark, the road is icy, and you might fall if you're not careful when walking at night."
"Are you concerned about me?" Shen Zimo smiled warmly.
Cheng Ji quickly grabbed some clean underwear and went to take a shower.
The shower room in this shabby hospital is like an ice cave. I have to prepare myself mentally for a long time before going in.
Cheng Ji tested the water temperature while shivering and taking off his clothes, cursing in a low voice: "Damn it, didn't they say that the boiler starts to burn at 3:30 p.m. every day? It's already 5:30 p.m., why is the water still not hot?"
The broken door was not soundproof. Shen Zimo heard him cursing from outside and asked, "What's wrong?"
He just replied "Nothing" when Shen Zimo came in again.
The bathroom in the Changkang Hospital ward was a squat toilet, with no place to put clothes around, so Cheng Ji found a small square stool to pile his clothes and bath towels. Since there was no curtain in the shower room, he was worried that his clothes would get wet, so he usually put the stool farther away and ran out to wipe his clothes after taking a shower.
He really didn't have an inch of cloth on his body, and was suddenly surrounded by Shen Zimo from behind.
He quickly turned off the faucet, wrapped the towel around his waist and asked stiffly, "What are you...doing?!"
Shen Zimo put his face against his neck and smelled his body - even his sweat didn't smell bad, it was like some kind of low-alcohol wine for summer, with juice and lemon added.
"I'm sorry... There's no one else here today, I just can't help it, you're so beautiful, you're my goddess of beauty, my Adonis... I won't do anything, really nothing, just hug you... just once, for the last time..."
Cheng Ji had no idea who that person with the surname A was. He only knew that he was being harassed by x again, and it was very serious.
As a friend, he can accept Shen Zimo, but he cannot love him. He can sacrifice himself to make his brothers happy, but Shen Zimo is not his brother.
Even if Cheng Ji is a deer or a cat, you can't hug him whenever you want!
He took a deep breath, intending to break his rules and give Shen Zimo a shoulder throw.
Just as he was about to block, another person came in.
Qi Beisong grabbed Shen Zimo's collar expressionlessly, and suddenly exerted force to throw him backwards!
Shen Zimo fell backwards and almost hit the door of the ward before he stopped and sat on the ground.
