"looking for me?"
"Thank you for everything you did for my parents while I was away."
After speaking, Li Jiajun showed a bright and sincere smile. Li Jincheng shook his head calmly and said, "He is also my dad."
To this day, Li Jincheng still cannot forgive Li Yaozu and Song Wanru, but it is because of his desire for family affection and his soft heart that he maintains this kind of relationship with Li Yaozu, which is neither salty nor cold.
Probably already expecting such a cold reaction from him, Li Jiajun kept his smile unchanged and said, "Jincheng..."
Until this moment, he didn't really show any embarrassment.
School was about to start, but Li Jincheng was not in a hurry. After waiting for a while, Li Jiajun said: "The Spring Festival is coming soon, and your parents want to cook a meal for you at home. When the time comes... can you come to our place for a meal?" ?”
Thinking of the friendly and warm He family now, Li Jincheng nodded and said, "Okay."
Probably not expecting him to agree so quickly, Li Jiajun seemed a little at a loss and said, great! After his parents found out, they would be very happy. He then said, "Jincheng, hurry up and go to class. Don't be late!"
Li Jincheng nodded, and when he saw Li Jiajun leaving quickly, he turned around slowly.
Family affection is probably something that no one can give up. He didn't know whether Li Jiajun did this because of Li Yaozu's suggestion or his own wishes, but he could see that Li Jiajun had indeed changed a lot.
Hearing the ringtone of his cell phone, Li Jincheng took it out and took a look. When he saw that it was He Zhenxuan, he immediately answered the call and said, "What's wrong?"
"I saw Li Jiajun."
"you… "
Li Jincheng turned around, but could no longer see the entrance to the school. He stopped and held his phone tightly before saying, "Do you wait until I enter before you leave?"
With emotion and emotion in his tone, He Zhenxuan laughed silently and immediately responded.
His voice was originally deep and magnetic, but now it was mixed with a hint of laziness. Li Jincheng finally understood what a voice that can make someone pregnant is.
"Li Jiajun has something to do with you?"
"Huh? Oh, the Spring Festival is coming soon, and he wants me to have a meal with them."
"Where's the black mist on my body?"
"have nothing left."
"That's good… "
"He Zhenxuan."
"Um?"
"Hurry back and tidy up your appearance. If your subordinates see you like this, they will be disappointed in you."
"Who caused me to be like this?"
There was finally a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone. Thinking that he was never late for work, Li Jincheng suppressed a smile and pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, okay, my fault, I will go back and cook for you tonight!"
After saying this, Li Jincheng hung up the phone and ran towards his office.
After all, Li Jincheng didn't kill He Zhenxuan that night.
When he returned, Li Jincheng was already asleep on the bedside. In his hands, the bedside table next to him was full of information and books spread out.
Those books seemed to have reached a certain age, and under the light, they gave off an old, yellowish glow.
He Zhenxuan stood by the bed and watched for a while, then walked over and hugged Li Jincheng and gently placed him on the bed.
"He Zhenxuan?"
"it's me."
Li Jincheng was too sleepy to open his eyes. After struggling for a moment, he said: "The horse kills the chicken..."
"Do it tomorrow night."
"good… "
After saying this, he seemed relieved, and then threw himself into boundless sleep.
Seeing that he tightened his collar and refused to let go, He Zhenxuan had no choice but to hug him with his clothes on, thinking that it would be better to get up and take a shower tomorrow morning.
After receiving a call from Li Yaozu that day, Li Jincheng went to the house where they lived now.
This is his first time here.
The house is very small, less than 100 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. The furniture in the house also looks a bit old.
Song Wanru's condition looks much better, her figure is no longer bloated, and although her eyes are still a little dull, she at least looks normal.
However, she has a kind of sequelae that most people will have after being detained in a mental hospital. She is insensitive to external things. She usually takes action only when Li Yaozu asks her to do something. Otherwise, she will sit motionless for a long time.
Facing Song Wanru like this, Li Jincheng couldn't feel any regret in his heart.
Li Yaozu used to be the kind of person who never touched Yang Chun Shui, but now, he has learned to cook, and the food tastes pretty good.
There is no dining room at home, so a few people put a simple square table in the living room and sat there to eat.
The nominal family had not had a meal together for nearly three years. Li Jincheng thought he would feel a little emotional, but in fact, he felt nothing at all.
He seemed to come here to eat just to fulfill a certain obligation of his, so that they would no longer have to feel so uncomfortable, or feel that they owed themselves too much.
When facing Li Jincheng, both Li Yaozu and Li Jiajun seemed a little reserved. During the meal, the group of people didn't talk much, but they kept picking up food for Li Jincheng.
Thinking that everyone was trying their best to make up for this relationship, Li Jincheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to move?"
Seeing Li Yaozu looking up at him, Li Jincheng added: "Your place is relatively small, so it is inconvenient for three people to live there. Also, I have a lot of properties under my name now..."
"No need, brother!"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Li Jiajun smiled awkwardly, and then said with a serious face: "You have done a lot for your parents. As for the house... I will buy it for them in the future!"
From the look on his face, it was obvious that he would not accept his proposal, so Li Jincheng did not insist anymore.
After dinner, Li Yaozu said that Li Jiajun wanted to apply for graduate school. He felt that Li Jincheng was more experienced, so he wanted him to give Li Jiajun advice.
Knowing that he wanted to improve the relationship between the two, and thinking that it was still early, Li Jincheng nodded.
"Brother! Wait for me in my room! I'll cut some fruit and come over!"
After saying this excitedly, when Li Jiajun turned around and took a few steps, he turned back with a guilty look and said, "Sorry, Jincheng, I'm used to it."
Li Jincheng shook his head but said nothing.
Li Jiajun's room is a bit like the room Li Jincheng used to stay at Zou Junkai's place.
The area is small, with only a bed, a wardrobe and a desk.
But the care was meticulous, even showing some symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Thinking that he had been in prison before, Li Jincheng didn't really care.
The slightly messy thing in the room is his desk, which is connected to the bookcase and filled with books.
Li Jincheng took a casual look and found that it was full of books related to crime and psychology. Just when he felt a little strange, Li Jiajun walked in with a plate of cut fruits.
"I want to be a police officer, but based on my experience..."
After laughing at himself, Li Jiajun said: "I will become a lawyer in the future."
Li Jincheng nodded, took the plate of fruit from his hand, and then said, "Do you want to study abroad?"
He probably didn't expect him to say such a thing. Li Jiajun opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then he showed a relieved smile and said, "I think so, but I want to go abroad on my own."
Li Jincheng just gave a suggestion, but he would not stick to it. After hearing what he said, he just changed the topic.
When he came out of Li Yaozu's place, He Zhenxuan, who had received his text message in advance, was already waiting there.
"How about it?"
Li Jincheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything."
"What about being with my family?"
Seeing him looking at him intently and slightly nervously, Li Jincheng couldn't help laughing and said, "If I don't like it, don't we all have to eat with them in the future?"
"It's not impossible..."
Seeing that he was thinking seriously, Li Jincheng reluctantly kissed his lips and said, "No, I really like the feeling when I am with them."
Next, the two of them were going to Xiao Peiting's house for dinner.
She is the most luxurious person in the family, but luxury means having good enjoyment, so Li Jincheng is always looking forward to it.
Since Li Jincheng met He Zhenxuan, he was either teaching or taking classes at school, so every winter and summer vacation, whenever he had time, He Zhenxuan would take him to travel abroad.
Unfortunately, this year because of Song Liubai, Li Jincheng hardly spent time with He Zhenxuan except for a few days before and after the Spring Festival.
He Zhenxuan's resentment was written on his face. Later, I don't know if it was because his resentment was too strong. Not long after school started, Song Liubai accidentally fell down the stairs of his home.
The doctor's diagnosis was that he had a fractured tibia and fibula in his right leg. In other words, he would have to stay in the hospital for at least three months.
After hearing what Li Jincheng said, He Zhenxuan snorted coldly from his nose, and the smile on his face became very proud.
Li Jincheng was speechless about this, but from that day on, his life gradually became comfortable and relaxed.
In April, Su Su, who had studied abroad and continued her studies, returned to Hong Kong Island during the spring break from school.
Li Jincheng actually wanted to study abroad, but firstly he couldn't bear to part with He Zhenxuan, and secondly he didn't want He Zhenxuan to work too hard, so he never mentioned it to him once.
Su Su is very measured in everything she does. Occasionally listening to her talk about interesting things that happened while studying abroad was, for Li Jincheng, a bit like looking at the plum blossoms to quench his thirst.
Except for Su Su, Li Jincheng was not close to those in the Su family.
Family affection is both an obligation and a responsibility. He already cares about enough people, and he doesn't want to add any more emotional burden to himself.
That day, Li Jincheng and Su Su were in the bookstore buying books that she recommended for themselves that she thought were good, when he heard someone call him Jincheng.
When Li Jincheng turned around, he saw Li Jiajun wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, holding many books in his hands, and dressing up as a typical nerd.
Li Jiajun also bought books here. Because Su Su was with him, Li Jincheng said goodbye to him after greeting him for a few words.
"who is he?"
Li Jincheng looked back at Su Su and said, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. It's so sinister and gives people a bad feeling."
Li Jincheng originally wanted to say that he had been in prison, but thinking that it involved Li Jiajun's privacy, he stopped talking.
"Who is he?"
Su Su had already subconsciously regarded Li Jincheng, who was three years older than her, as her cousin. Because she was anxious, her voice increased unconsciously when she spoke, and she even pushed Li Jincheng unconsciously.
Li Jincheng seemed a little helpless at her thoughts and actions. Seeing Su Su still staring at him, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
Sure enough, the next second, Su Su's eyes dodge and she looked fearful, but she was really worried about Li Jincheng.
After pretending to be calm and coughing, she said, "I don't care! No matter who he is, you have to stay away from him!"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely stay away from him in the future!"
Li Jincheng answered absentmindedly. In his heart, he felt emboldened because he no longer saw the black mist on Li Jiajun's body.
But he never thought that one day he would lose this ability, so he soon paid the due price for his self-righteousness.
