Xie Duo listened to him quietly, raised his eyes to look at him, and sneered: "He is not worthy, are you worthy?"
Ji Yuan seemed unable to bear Xie Duo's gaze and suddenly squatted down, half-kneeling at his feet. This angle made him look particularly petite and pitiful. He looked straight at Xie Duo and pulled the corners of his mouth.
"At least I'm cleaner than him."
It was like the calm before a storm. Xie Duo's eyes were dark, and something terrible was crawling out with fangs and claws.
Ji Yuan held his breath and waited for his response. At that moment, he felt a drop of cold sweat sliding down his neck and falling into his collar. The dampness that the heating in the room could not warm up penetrated his bones. His eyes were fixed on Xie Duo, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the taut veins on the back of his hand and the tip of his shoe rolling on the carpet...
"Are you guys done talking?"
The door of the study suddenly opened. Shen Antu was leaning against the door frame in his bathrobe, not knowing how long he had been listening.
Xie Duo stood up suddenly, knocked Ji Yuan down and strode towards him, but Shen Antu turned and left before he got close.
"Mr. Xie!" Ji Yuan leaned on the carpet with both hands and shouted at Xie Duo's back, "Don't forget what kind of person Shen Lin is!"
Xie Duo stopped, turned around and glanced at him, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and his lowered eyebrows were full of sarcasm.
"Do you think I'm attracted to his innocence?"
After Xie Duo left, Ji Yuan sat down on the ground exhausted. The skin on his back stuck to his sweaty shirt, and it made him shiver.
Xie Duo returned to the third floor. In the darkness, a red spark floated in the air on the balcony. Xie Duo turned on the bedroom light and saw the half-open bedside table. His cigarettes and lighter were gone.
Shen Antu was smoking on the balcony.
Xie Duo didn't understand why a person's back could be so fascinating.
He was only wearing a thin bathrobe, his hair was not fully grown, and he had a belt around his waist that pinched him to an excessively thin waistline. The two calves extending from under the bathrobe were straight and slender, and his ankles were slender and graceful. Xie Duo had measured them many times with his palms.
Shen Antu was just holding his elbow, holding a cigarette, and turned around suddenly when he heard footsteps.
The white smoke meandered and flowed out from his lips, outlining a seductive curve in the air and hazily covering the slightly upturned corners of his eyes.
Shen Antu lifted all his long bangs to the top of his head, revealing his full forehead and sharp brows. He stared at Xie Duo with half-closed eyelids. At this moment, he was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath. There was no longer any of Shen Antu's gentleness and obedience.
He is Shen Lin.
Xie Duo's heartbeat stopped at this moment.
"I started listening to him from the moment he said 'I'm very grateful to you'," Shen Antu turned to face Xie Duo. A gust of cold wind blew, and he shivered from the cold. He seemed to be even thinner, with even his hair scattered on his face in a mess. "Do you think he is cleaner than me?"
"How is that possible?"
Xie Duo took two steps forward, put out his cigarette, pulled him into the room, closed the floor-to-ceiling window, and found a large bath towel to wrap him up completely.
Shen Antu stood straight, allowing Xie Duo to fiddle with him. After being exposed to the cold wind for a long time, he couldn't help shivering even when he entered the warm room.
"Why did you help him pay off his debts at that time?" Shen Antu asked with a heavy nasal tone.
Xie Duo wiped Shen Antu's half-dried hair with a bath towel, and reached out to push away all the bangs covering his face: "I thought you would be happy to help him."
"I am not happy, not at all."
Shen Antu's tone was cold and hard, and resistance was written all over his body. No matter how Xie Duo wiped his hair, he refused to cooperate.
Xie Duo stopped moving: "I have called someone over, he will leave soon."
Shen Antu didn't say anything, but just snatched the towel from Xie Duo and covered his face.
Xie Duo slowly withdrew his hand: "Shen..."
"I'll sleep in the guest room tonight," Shen Antu interrupted him, "Xie Wenxuan drank too much, I'll take care of him."
Xie Duo was silent for a moment: "I'll go to the guest room."
Chapter 41 Do me a favor, Ji Yuan
Finally I can say it!!! Shen Antu did lose his memory before, and then he recovered his memory on the day of nausea. Everyone should have seen it. I also buried a mirror line. When Xie Duo returned to the old house, he saw Shen Antu sketching everywhere in the house. He was looking for the camera, so he knew Xie Duo was monitoring him.
Ji Yuan spent the next hour in a trance.
He sat in Xie Duo's study for more than twenty minutes, and then was led out of the door and into a car. The car was full of unfamiliar faces. One of them took away his mobile phone, returned his old mobile phone and all electronic devices he had used, and presented him with a new agreement.
Ji Yuan didn't bother to read every word carefully. He just heard the man say that he could return to his normal life and he just needed to keep confidential everything that happened during this period. Helping him pay off his debts would be his reward for this time. As long as he signed the contract, he would no longer have any relationship with Xie Duo and Shen Antu.
Ji Yuan turned to the last page of the agreement and signed without hesitation.
Then he was thrown out of the car halfway.
Just after the clock struck midnight, the New Year arrived as expected. The streets were filled with people with smiling faces, but he was the only one who looked like a bag of garbage being disposed of.
