Because love, has its own providence.
All is quiet, only the breeze blows gently, the air carries the coolness of the night, the wine and elegant men's fragrances are mixed together, intoxicating the ears, eyes and mind.
He said he was being held in his arms, but in fact Shen Ke leaned on Lin Jian with most of his body weight, his forehead resting against his shoulder, silent.
Lin Jian throat gently rolled, in the second before his heart rate is about to break through the peak, before softly asked: "...... so late, what are you doing here ah?"
"Waiting for you." Shen Ke replied very bluntly, but probably because he had been drinking, his originally warm and deep voice was tinged with a hint of mute, and the distance was too close, so his breath fell on Lin Jian's ear in bits and pieces when he spoke, and it was a bit hot.
"Is something wrong?" Lin Jian hunched his shoulders and lowered his voice even more.
"Yes." Shen Ke muffled, "Dizzy."
Lin Jian: "?"
So sitting on the edge of the flower bed waiting most of the night to come and lean on him for this because you're dizzy?
"You ......" The quiet night has the illusion of blurring everything, but also gives people inexplicable courage, Lin Jian raised his hand, hesitated for a second, but still gently on Shen Ke's back, slowly smoothed twice, asked, "Are you drunk? "Are you drunk?"
Shen Ke just held the person, did not let go and did not answer, after a few moments, suddenly asked back, "How about you, drink?"
"Uh-huh." Lin Jian nodded honestly, "I had a friend over, so I drank a little."
Shen Ke stopped talking, and after a while Lin Jian wondered if he had just fallen asleep against himself, before he heard him suddenly ask, "Happy?"
"Happy." Thinking of Xu Yang, that two-hundred-five, Lin Jian involuntarily laughed a little.
And Shen Ke was silent again.
Lin Jian was really suspicious of his behavior tonight, and after a few moments of silence, asked a little uneasily, "What's going on?"
"...... Nothing." Shen Ke's voice was hoarse and fuzzy, and it was only after a long interval that he suddenly said, somewhat in reply, "I thought of many possibilities, but the only thing I didn't think of was that I would be too late."
"What does ...... mean?"
Shen Ke didn't explain, only after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "But it's okay, even if it's late, it can still wait."
Lin Jian: "?"
Lin Jian head confused, but at this time and really suspicious of his perversity, only to think that Shen Ke may indeed be a little drunk, so whispered advice: "Are you uncomfortable, do you want to go upstairs to sit down for a while?"
The question was asked, and in a couple of seconds he heard Shen Ke smother his shoulder with a laugh, light and deep.
"Lin Jian."
"Hmm?"
"Did you have such a thick filter on me as a child that you still have some kind of misunderstanding."
Lin Jian tilted his head slightly to look into his eyes, "What do you mean?"
Shen Ke pondered for a moment, and when he opened his mouth again, there were a few points of helplessness: "Don't over glorify me, I'm not as ...... virtuous as you think."
Late at night, after the wine, can sit in the heart of the true gentleman, and have a sweetheart Shen Ke, instinctively thought of a tree pear blossom pressure begonia.
His brain slowed down a bit after drinking, Lin Jian pondered over his words and was just about to make sense of them when Shen Ke sighed and finally let go of him.
In the dreary moonlit night, Lin Jian looked up and suddenly met a pair of deep-colored eyes.
There was no sound, and after a few moments, Shen Ke said, "Go upstairs."
Lin Jian frowned slightly, "Really don't go up to drink a glass of water, then ...... how do you go back?"
"There's a driver." Shen Ke lifted his chin toward the cell door, "Go ahead, I'll leave when you get home."
Lin Jian: "Do you know which room I'm staying in?"
Shen Ke laughed huskily, "I don't know, so if you go in the house and turn on a light first, I'll just see it."
"...... Oh." Lin Jian nodded slowly and glanced at him before heading for the door of the flat.
Within two steps, Shen Ke called out to him from behind.
"Lin Jian."
"Huh?" Lin Jian turned around quickly.
Shen Ke sighed, thought for a moment, and still said, "Don't just invite people over to your house late at night, even if it's just for a glass of water."
Lin Jian opened his mouth and just wanted to say that he didn't invite them "casually", then he heard Shen Ke added: "Especially those who have clearly expressed their favoritism towards you, and especially ...... those who are chasing you. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that."
Lin Jian was stunned at his words.
"Go." Shen Ke pinched his brow and said warmly, "Rest early."
Lin Jian pursed the corners of his lips and looked at him for a moment, lowered his eyes and turned to leave, and when he walked to the doorway of the unit door, he suddenly stopped his feet and turned back, holding back the heat that would not be noticed in the deep night that was rising on his side face, and asked softly, "Shen Ke, how long are you ...... ready to chase ah? "
Shen Ke's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, as if he didn't expect the youth, who had never been cool and lonely, to take the initiative to ask about this topic.
But he thought about it and followed his heart and answered his question very seriously.
"Lin Jian, for as long as it takes."
*
Xu flow's last drama was really abrasive, soaking up the whole half year in the drama group, now finally killed, the studio very humane did not arrange notice for him, let him free to roam for a period of time.
So he simply took up a small residence on the south side of the city.
In addition to his work, Lin Jian was left to do his duty as a host, taking Xu Yang around the city after work every day, and the old days of consciously working overtime were gone, and he felt that he had reached a new level of indolence.
On Saturday, Shen Ke was invited to attend an industry forum in Linshi, but Assistant Xu was on vacation, so Lin Jian had to take care of his peers.
Shen Ke knew that these days his private schedule was rather full, so he actually prepared himself to go alone from the beginning, but before he left work on Friday, Lin Jian inquired him once in between delivering materials, "Chairman Shen, this time when we go to Lin City, do we still book the same hotel as before?"
Shen Ke's hand gave a slight lurch as he signed and looked up at him, pausing for a second before saying, "Yes."
"Then let me book a deluxe suite for you." Lin Jian said.
Shen Ke lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell back to the documents on the desktop, ignoring the corner of his heart that had abruptly collapsed and emptied, and nodded, "Okay, good work."
"It's not hard." Lin Jian laughed a little, then said, "I can just book a business suite by myself, how can there be a reason for an assistant to be treated with the same specifications as the boss."
Shen Ke's pen tip gave an abrupt pause and looked back up at him, as if unsure, and spoke very slowly to ask, "Are you coming with me?"
"What else?" Lin Jian gave him a suspicious look, "Didn't Assistant Xu take a leave of absence, or are you saying you're not going to bring an assistant this time?"
"No, to bring." Shen Ke unconsciously curved the corners of his eyes and said, "Don't bother, you can just book two deluxe--"
"Chairman Shen." Lin Jian suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt him, somewhat embarrassed and apologized, "This time to accompany you on a business trip, I don't go on the company's travel expenses, and the room can be booked by myself."
"What's wrong?" Shen Ke asked.
"Uh ......" Lin Jian hesitated for a moment, and mentally greeted Xu Yang that two-hundred-fifty again before reluctantly saying truthfully, "It's just that... ...I have a friend who's been in South City lately, and I've been spending most of my time with him these days, and when I heard that I'm going to Lin City on a business trip for two days over the weekend, my friend wanted to go there with me."
Shen Ke listened quietly, without much change of expression, except for a few imperceptible frowns at first.
Lin Jian was afraid that he would misunderstand his false publicity, and added busily, "But don't worry, I won't delay my work, even if I accompany my friends it will be at the end of the forum every day, and I can drive there by myself, so I won't cause any trouble for you ......"
"There's no need." Shen Ke said in a faint voice, "Nothing inconvenient, let's go together."
Lin Jian was quiet for two seconds and gave a small nod, "Well then, I ...... might as well book my own room, or I'll feel overwhelmed."
Shen Ke lowered his eyes again and breathed a very slow sigh of relief before saying with little emotion, "Either way, whatever you want."
After leaving Shen Ke's office, Lin Jian circled back to his office from the corridor, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was a bit too much and couldn't help but take out his cell phone and make a call to Xu Yang.
As soon as the phone was connected, before Lin Jian could speak, Xu Yang asked impatiently on the other end of the line, "How was it? Did he agree?!"
"Agreed." Lin Jian silent for two seconds, it is hard not to suspect him, frowning and asked in a deep voice, "But ...... your idea, is not it a bit excessive a bit damaging?"
"...... Holy shit!" Xu Yang was shocked and yelled, "He can even agree to this kind of request, this is a fucking lover boy, right?"
"Don't interrupt." Lin Jian was in no mood to gag with him.
Just now, he saw Shen Ke's expression very clearly, it was that kind of very faint despondency, which made Lin Jian's heart very twisted and uncomfortable.
"No buddy, you can't give up halfway!" Xu Yang says bitterly, "If you don't try, how do you know if he's being nice to you out of habit from years ago, or if it's the same kind of favor one man has for another, just like you!"
"I think, he's not the kind you're talking about." Lin Jian rested the back of his neck on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and said with a tired heart, "He won't be the kind of person who will be with someone because of habit or ...... sympathy."
"Yoo-hoo, you know a lot about it, don't you?" Xu Yang says, "Just in case."
Lin Jian sighed mentally and replied silently--
In case, it's okay.
"Anyway, last hit, try it all." Xu flow's relationship guidance strategy was as unreliable as his drinking, "If you're heartbroken, the big deal is that I'll be a little lighter on my hands then haha!"
"How light?" Lin Jian asked rhetorically, with his eyes closed, "The kind that slaps someone down the steps?"
"?" Xu Xu flow was silent for a split second, and his tone was stiff, "Hang up, see you later."
*
On Saturday morning, Lin Jian packed up his belongings and prepared to drive to the hotel to pick up Xu Yang, but as soon as he left the neighborhood, he saw Shen Ke's Barbos parked in a familiar spot.
Seeing Lin Jian carrying a small suitcase through the car window, Shen Ke got out of the car, opened the trunk naturally, and then stood by the side of the car, waiting for him to approach.
"Didn't I say I could just drive there myself." Lin Jian walked to his side and asked in a low voice.
"It's rather far, it's more convenient to drive a car." Shen Ke replied with his usual muzzle, then picked up his suitcase and put it in the trunk.
Closing the door, Shen Ke looked at him and said, "Get in."
Lin Jian pursed his lips and as he got into the car, Shen Ke buckled his seatbelt and asked, "Where does your friend live?"
Lin Jian gave the name of a hotel in the center of the city, and Shen Ke nodded and drove the car straight out.
There was a subtle silence in the car, which ended abruptly when Xu Yang was picked up in front of the hotel.
Although Xu Yang was usually not a decent person, after all, he was a person who had been in the scene for a long time, so he greeted Shen Ke in a very decent manner.
But after getting into the car, while the car was not yet started, Xu flow was surprised "hey? Then he asked Lin Jian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Lin, don't you want to come and sit with me?"
Lin Jian was first stunned, and then he subconsciously looked at Shen Ke's expression, but the latter's expression was Zhou Zheng, not giving away any clues.
Suddenly, Shen Ke inclined his head to look over, and their eyes gently met in space.
Then Shen Ke withdrew his gaze and unlocked the car door with a click.
It was a soft sound, but it was like a knock on the tip of Lin Jian's heart, and a dull pain spread in his heart as an afterthought.
Only after Lin Jian changed to the back seat did Shen Ke start the car in silence.
It's more than two hours to the city where the industry forum is being held, so the initial awkwardness is quickly dispelled by Xu Yang, who is a familiar face, and no matter what Xu Yang says, Shen Ke always responds in a very graceful way, albeit lightly, so that he's not left alone in the room.
Arrived at the hotel a few people went to the front desk check in, waiting for Lin Jian to show identity information, standing aside Shen Ke said in a faint voice to the front desk: "Upgrade the room, this one is also listed under my single."
Lin Jian and the receptionist froze at the same time, and without waiting for the receptionist to confirm, Lin Jian whispered, "Chairman Shen, don't bother, and I--"
Shen Ke inclined his head and gave him a very light look, Lin Jian bumped into that line of sight, and the rest of his words rolled into his throat.
The order was hung up at the front desk, and several people were led by a waiter to the elevator to their rooms.
On the top floor, Shen Ke's room is next door to Lin Jian's room.
The opening of the Industry Forum is tonight, and before entering, Shen Ke inquired, "The opening starts at 7:00, is it convenient for us to leave at 6:30?"
Xu Yang had already taken the lead and walked into the room, Lin Jian held the door handle and nodded, replying, "Convenient, I'll go next door and ring the doorbell in advance."
Shen Ke smiled and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, only after an interval of two seconds, he said, "Have a good rest." And then turned around and went to the door of his room, swiped his card, and entered the room.
Lin Jian closed the door to the room with him almost at the same time, and as soon as he turned back, he saw Xu Yang sitting on the sofa on the first floor, pointing at him from a long distance away, and painfully saying, "I think that ha, in fact, there is no need to try at all, in this state, I'm afraid that you can't be stranded any more than he can."
"It wasn't really necessary in the first place." Lin Jian took off his jacket and casually slung it over the back of the couch, sitting down and letting out a long sigh, "It's a little uncomfortable inside."
"That that that ......" Xu flow with the tone of a person who has been there, following the good advice, "love mino, it is like this, you do not give him sour and sour, which can highlight the sweetness and honey that he gives you, otherwise how boring. "
"Educated." Lin Jian said breathlessly, "Theoretical Giant Xu."
With half a day to go before the opening of the ceremony, Lin Jian and Xu Yang took a break in their room and were ready to go out for a walk. Thinking of Shen Ke in the next room, Lin Jian felt that he should not fail in his duty as an assistant, so he made a phone call and asked the other party if they wanted to go out together or if there were any local specialties he would like to eat, so that he could pack them up and bring them back.
On the phone, Shen Ke's voice is very calm, but almost without hesitation, he politely declines.
"Don't bother." Shen Ke said, "You guys be safe and have fun."
Hanging up the phone, Lin Jian sighed deeply again.
In fact, Lin Jian's heart was so full of worries and thoughts that most of the day, no matter where he went, he was not happy.
When she finally made it back to the hotel in the afternoon, Lin Jian showered and changed as quickly as possible, and then rang the doorbell next door before six o'clock.
The door opens and Shen Ke looks at the person outside with some surprise and says, "So early."
"I'm afraid that there is not enough time, so I came back early." Finally saw the people, Lin Jian downcast half a day mood finally turned around, he looked at Shen Ke smiled a little, said, "The opening ceremony in the evening you are not going to make a speech, or ...... leave early?"
Watching him smile, Shen Ke followed suit, curling the corners of her mouth, and said, "Okay then, wait for me."
No need for them to drive themselves, the organizers of the industry forum sent a special car ahead of time to pick them up on this side of the hotel, and it was a good thing they got out an hour early so they didn't get caught in the city's evening rush hour traffic and crash.
The opening ceremony started at 7:00pm. The host first introduced the participating member organizations, and then Shen Ke went up to the stage as a special guest to make a speech. At the same time, Lin Jian was sitting in the first row of the venue, looking at the man on the stage with his long body and elegant demeanor.
The formal symposium is scheduled for the second day of the conference program, and after the opening ceremony in the evening, there is a free presentation session.
Lin Jian and Shen Ke simply dealt with a few waves of people who came over to talk to him, and when things quieted down a bit, Shen Ke asked him, "Isn't it a bit boring?"
"Hmm? No." Lin Jian replied with a smile, "It's just work, there's nothing boring about it."
"It looks like you're a little tired."
Lin Jian lost his smile and said, "Luckily, during the daytime, I was dragged by Xu Yang to City walk, and I walked about ten kilometers, simply."
Shen Ke is silent for a moment, casually takes the glass of wine in Lin Jian's hand and places it with his own on a passing waiter's tray, saying, "We'll go back when we're tired, we don't need to stay until it's over."
Lin Jian was stunned for a moment and subconsciously refused, "That's not possible, you're the special guest."
Shen Ke seems to be pleased by his appearance at this time, revealing the first smile with a sense of reality in a long time, warmly said, "Special guest ...... is not just a mascot, no one stipulates that it must be left until the end, go."
After saying that, he raised his hand and naturally took Lin Jian's shoulder, leading the people towards the entrance of the venue.
Out of the door of the venue, the organizers, as if they expected in advance that this big brother would not stay long, had already sent a driver to wait at the door.
Getting into the car, Lin Jian glanced through the window at the inky, sunken cloudy sky outside and whispered, "It looks like it's going to rain."
"You have plans for the evening?" Shen Ke asked, catching his drift.
"Xu ......" Lin Jian only opened a head to consciously stop, pause for a moment, before vaguely said, "Originally planned to go out to buy some things, look at the weather I'm afraid the plan will be put on hold. "
Shen Ke, who had accurately captured the word "Xu" at the beginning of his sentence, didn't ask any more questions, but just turned his head out of the car window in a slightly silent manner.
Sure enough, by the time they had just reached the entrance of the hotel, the pouring rain was pouring down.
The hotel waiter dutifully held an umbrella at the door, but the rain was too heavy, before getting off the bus, Shen Ke quickly took off his suit jacket and put it over Lin Jian's body, before he opened the door and got off the bus.
It was only a few steps, and despite the umbrellas, by the time they got into the hotel lobby, the two were inevitably mostly wet.
Taking the elevator up the stairs and arriving at the door of the room, Shen Ke frowned slightly and said, "Take a hot shower first, I'll call room service to send a punch, soak a cup after the shower and beware of catching a cold or flu."
Lin Jian nodded his head in response, and didn't resist calling out to someone before entering, "Chairman Shen."
"Huh?" Shen Ke turned back against the door of the room he had already pushed open, "What's wrong?"
"You drink a little punch too." Lin Jian pointed at him, his brow furrowing involuntarily, "You're wetter than I am."
Shen Ke looked at him for a moment, a very faint smile melting under her eyes, "Okay."
Room service quickly delivered cold and flu punch to each of the two rooms, and by the time Shen Ke had finished showering and changing and emerged from the bathroom, he found a missed call on his cell phone from the organizers of this forum.
He called the number back and the person answered quickly, apologizing profusely that he had taken the liberty of calling him because he hadn't been able to reach his assistant.
"What's the matter?" Shen Ke asked with a frown when he heard that Lin Jian's phone was not working.
The organizer said, "Due to the weather, so tomorrow's symposium is postponed for two hours, so please don't run short."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Shen Ke took a small seat on the first floor couch and looked out the entire curved floor-to-ceiling window at the rain for a long time, but grabbed his room card and headed out the door.
Arriving at the door of the next room, Shen Ke rang the doorbell, and within moments the door was pushed open from the inside out.
Xu Yang stood in the door in her bathrobe, expecting another delivery from room service, but when she saw Shen Ke she froze, then instinctively tugged at the collar of her bathrobe.
The movement was quick, but a sweep of Shen Ke's vision still saw the ambiguous hickey on his neck.
Immediately, Xu Yang was keenly aware that the air pressure emanating from the person opposite him had suddenly lowered.
Xu Yang was in a state of alarm and thought, "This is a real accident, I am as innocent as plain water with my Lin, you don't want to see something and associate it with something, this is not a part of the plan!
"Chairman Shen, what can I do for you?" After a moment's hesitation, Xu Yang asked in a somewhat weak voice.
"Where's Lin Jian?" Shen Ke's voice was flat.
If at this time, say my buddy is taking a shower, then it's really jumping into the Yellow River and can't be washed away, right?
Xu Yang brain dumbfounded, in a hurry to create wisdom haphazardly pulled: "Oh ...... he went out to buy things, just ...... next door to that street, there is a raw marinated small seafood is very famous, I that what ...... that, want to taste it."
After saying this, Xu Yang clearly saw Shen Ke's face change.
"On a stormy day, you let him go out to buy food for you?" When she spoke again, Shen Ke's voice had gone completely cold.
"Not ...... me, him ......" At this time, Shen Ke's entire aura was too strong and the invisible oppression was huge, so much so that Xu Yang stuttered in a rare way Xu Yang stuttered in a rare way.
But without waiting for him to explain, the man in front of him had turned and walked away at a brisk pace.
After taking the elevator all the way to the first floor, Shen Ke asked the receptionist for an umbrella and rushed straight into the pouring rain outside the door.
*
When Lin Jian came out of the bathroom after her shower and walked down the stairs to the first floor in her loungewear, all she saw was Xu Traffic, who was pacing back and forth around the couch like he was on fire.
"What's going on, the magic of love spinning in circles?" Lin Jian walked over and joked.
"No, man, I think I've lost it this time." Xu Yang saw him finally come downstairs, clutched Lin Jian's wrist, confessed his crime in a few words, and said bitterly, "Brothers, kill or die as you please, but I swear, today's incident was really an accident."
Lin Jian stood frozen in place for two seconds, reacted without any hesitation, turned around and rushed out of the room.
It was raining so hard that visibility was less than two meters in the blanket of rain.
The umbrella was completely useless by now, and Shen Ke, drenched to the bone and chilled to the bone, finally threw the wind-damaged umbrella into a garbage can on the side of the road, and walked through the torrential downpour down a long street to find the raw pickle store Xu Yang had told him about.
But at this point, the store was empty at the vendor window.
Shen Ke let out a deep, rolling breath and raised his hand to ring the window chime.
Surprised that there are still people coming to buy things in this weather, the store owner pulled the window divider open a little and asked uncertainly, "...... are you buying small seafood?"
"Excuse me." Shen Ke caught his breath and said, "Was there a very tall, very thin youth who came before me?"
"No ah." The proprietor said, "I closed just as this rain came down, and business is poor to-night, and ...... where is anyone to buy raw pickles in this weather."
Shen Ke held his breath for two seconds and said, "Thank you."
"Hey, are you buying anything?" The boss asked after him.
"Wanted." Shen Ke nodded and, surprisingly, actually did select a few items from the large pallet that hadn't yet been collected within the bulkhead, saying in a hushed voice, "Pack tightly, please."
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The owner, while weighing the goods nimbly and handing over the collection code, was full of promises, "I guarantee that not a single drop of rainwater will get in for sure!"
Tens of thousands of dollars of cell phones is this benefit, diving grade waterproof performance, Shen Ke scan code to pay, carrying those pockets of raw pickle very slowly back.
As he walked, he carefully identified himself in the rain, worrying that he and Lin Jian had gone astray.
As a result, he had just walked across the street, and from afar, he could vaguely see a silhouette running wildly in the torrential rain.
Shen Ke's feet lurched, and in the next moment, he saw Lin Jian panting and running in front of him.
"You ......" Shen Ke opened his mouth and looked at the person in front of him with some bewilderment, and for a moment he actually ran out of words, "How do you ...... "
"What are you doing out here?" In the stormy weather, Lin Jian's voice was slightly cold, but the corners of her eyes were dipped in a thin red color.
"Looking for you." Shen Ke whispered as he looked down at the man in front of him.
Lin Jian don't turn away, hard breath, raw press the bottom of the heart than at this time the rainstorm raging emotions, a few moments, and then asked: "What is in the hand?"
"Packed with raw pickles." Shen Ke's voice blended into the rain, a muffled low.
"Are you ......" Lin Jian was first so anxious that he wanted to cry, and then at this time he was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "It's this time of the day, and you're still packing?!"
Shen Ke, however, looked at him calmly and said, "Your friend wants food, and I'm afraid you haven't gotten it yet, so I'll run out again."
"You ......"
After a period of silence, Lin Jian took a heavy breath and suddenly asked, "Shen Ke, is that how you chase people?"
It was the first time Lin Jian had called him by his first name since the reunion.
Shen Ke's warm, sunken eyes shifted gently.
A moment later, he said in a warm voice, "It doesn't count this time, it's just a show of hands."
"Shut up." Who would have guessed that, but after those words Lin Jian snapped his head up and yelled right back at him.
"Learn if you can't chase." With that, he spat out the words very softly, and with a stride of his long legs, he took two steps in front of Shen Ke.
Shen Ke's eyes steeply deepened.
In the next second, the youth in front of him raised his arm straight up and wrapped it around his neck.
In a rainstorm, in a long deserted street--
He kissed him.
*
That night, Xu Yang was alone in her large luxury suite, tossing and turning, waiting to die.
Lin Jian was taken directly to the next room by Shen Ke.
It was also on that rainy night that Lin Jian said to Shen Ke:
"Don't chase me, I promise."
Pi, he has just re-rinsed the hot shower, wearing the pure white bathrobe of the hotel, I do not know whether it is steamed out by the heat of the bathroom, or ...... rare blush, when he said this, the side of his face and neck together ignited a thin layer of red heat.
Shen Ke, who was wearing the same bathrobe as him and was boiling ginger water for him in the room's own kitchenette, sniffed and his hands trembled, but he steadily poured the steaming cold-repelling medicine into a cup.
Walking over to the couch with a cup in hand, Shen Ke placed the ginger water in front of him and waited for Lin Jian to take a few small sips before asking in a hushed voice, "Are you sure?"
Lin Jian raised his eyelids from the top edge of the glass, glanced at him, and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen you chasing this kind of ...... don't want to die."
Shen Ke sat down beside him and looked at the slightly reddened side of his face, smiling very faintly before saying, "Not really, I was just afraid of scaring you."
There are so many deeply hidden dormant thoughts, so many selfish impulses, were all pressed by him one by one, no other reason, just afraid of his own slightly inattentive, out of control possessiveness and and almost paranoid desire to control, will be surprised in front of the youth of the same as the green pine and bamboo.
But now, it was as if, after having traveled a long, dismal and dark road by himself, he suddenly saw a glimmer of heavenly light at the end of it.
After Lin Jian finished the ginger water and put down the cup, Shen Ke suddenly asked, "Lin Jian, can you tell me why you suddenly agreed to me?"
"It wasn't supposed to be unforgiving ...... " Lin Jian muttered in a very small voice.
It was all Xu Yang's lame-ass idea.
"What?" Shen Ke looked like he hadn't heard.
"Well, nothing." Lin Jian coughed lightly, cleared his throat, held back the heat on his side face, and said in a flat voice, "Chasing people ...... is very hard, seeing that you are old, I am afraid that you can not top it, can't you?"
"Can't top ......" Shen Ke slowly and softly repeated these three words, while then looking to his side, faintly said, "Lin Jian, don't curse."
Lin Jian: "?"
That night, Lin Jian was left in Shen Ke's room, and the two of them held hands, slept together, and had a very heavy sleep.
Lin Jian waited until the end of the symposium the next day, but he never asked what the phrase "cursing" actually meant.
Later, after they had been together for some time, met their parents separately, and received the deepest of blessings, Lin Jian gradually forgot about this at the time.
After they got together, Lin Jian asked Shen Ke if he was worried that his colleagues at work would find out.
Shen Ke thought for a moment and replied, "There doesn't seem to be a company rule that says no office romances."
"What if?" Lin Jian held back a hint of laughter and snickered, "It's true that there are no rules, but isn't Chairman Shen afraid of bad influence?"
As a matter of fact, Shen Ke has always been a free spirit, not to mention caring about other people's opinions. If there is any real concern, it is only that Lin Jian will not mind.
And apparently, Lin Jian is a man who cares less about what others think than he does.
"What then?" Shen Ke laughed, "How about I resign?"
"......" Lin Jian was speechless for a second, then narrowed his eyes and choked back, "Fine, big deal, I'll make money to support you, how about that?"
"Yes." Shen Ke nodded, and with a lift of his hand, he pulled the person into his arms and wrapped them around him, whispering, "Then I'll be soft and hard."
Lin Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then as if she had realized something, she slightly tilted her head up, letting his very light and very soft kisses fall down.
And later, the night after the two were married in Australia, where Shen Zhangqian and Cong Wan were living, Lin Jian finally realized what Shen Ke had meant by the phrase "don't curse".
Sinking night is not yet over, the early morning has passed most of the dark-colored bed sheets are a mess, Lin Jian forehead is very deep against the pillow surface, thin sweat along the brow bone across the bridge of the nose, the youth was originally a clear and cold voice mute almost impossible to listen to: "Shen Ke ...... you do not finish it? ......"
The person behind her leaned down slightly, and Lin Jian suddenly blurred, raising her neck impatiently with his movement, and then she heard a warm, deep voice falling into her ears, as if she wanted to rekindle a cluster of dark fires.
"Who was the one who said I was old and was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it in the first place?"
Lin Jian eyes tail slightly red, half of the face are buried in the pillow, clenched teeth to not let himself murmur out, suffered that burst of up and down a long grinding punishment, before gritting his teeth and whispered, "I said ...... is this top can not do it!"
"No?" Shen Ke wiped the moisture from the ends of his eyes with his fingertips, his voice tinged with laughter, and said in a low, husky voice, "Then I misunderstood."
"But it's not like being twelve years older is twelve inches."
"Lin Jian," he said in a closing statement as he held down the man struggling to move forward to escape.
"Be good, don't be afraid."

Early in the morning, the bright warm winter sun slipped into the room through the cracks in the curtains, casting dappled shadows of varying shades on the floor.
Lin Jian slowly opened his eyes and looked at the chandelier on the ceiling for a long time.
It wasn't until the soreness at his lumbar muscles came in a lurch that he breathed a deep sigh of relief and moved very gently.
Just this one time, the person beside him still had his eyes closed, and his warm palm had covered it, "Uncomfortable?"
"No." Lin Jian tilts his head slightly to look at the man near him, and a few seconds apart, calls out his name, "Shen Ke."
"What's wrong." Shen Ke opened his eyes, and the hand on his side waist gave a gentle tug, re-circling the man into his arms.
Lin Jian tilted his head slightly, suddenly smiled and said, "I had a very special dream."
"What did you dream about?" Shen Ke lifted his other hand and ruffled the stray hairs from his forehead, the end of his eyes curving gently, "So happy?"
"Dreaming ......" Lin Jian said to him in a low, rambling voice, as if whispering, "dreaming that I wasn't taken home by you back then, and ...... some things that happened later."
"What a special dream." Shen Ke smiled back, but the arm around the person tightened slightly, "What happened afterward?"
Lin Jian laughed, "Later, we were still together."
At these words, Shen Ke's quiet eyes fell on his brow, and he did not remove them for a long time, and after a long time he lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, before he whispered:
"It's a nice dream."
Who says it isn't, Lin Jian smiled and tilted her head back to kiss him back.
Looking back on the loved one often into the dream, ten years trace ten years heart.
Whether in this world or in dreams, I will always meet you and you will always find me.
And being with you in this life and the next is probably what was meant to be.
Because love, has its own providence.
