GBT Chapter 29
by VolareAs for the male supporting character, it’s a mix of physical and mental abuse, the best flavor when combined.
“I plan to go back tomorrow, do you want to come back with me to take a look?” Li Jue looked at Jiao Bai expectantly.
“Not going back.” Jiao Bai refused on the spot.
What’s the point of going back, to be spat on by the original owner’s adoptive parents? And possibly be bled dry.
Only an idiot would care about them.
“Okay, I’ll go back myself.” Li Jue pursed his lips awkwardly. He said cautiously, “Where do you live? Can you tell me your new number?”
The next moment, he hurriedly said, “It’s okay if it’s not convenient. It’s fine with me.”
He was very reserved and a little scared.
The person in front of him was completely different from the one in his memory. Very unfamiliar.
Jiao Bai didn’t answer. He suddenly remembered a plot point. One day after Li Jue and Shen Er An were together, he was kidnapped by Qi Shuang’s men. The car had an accident on the road. Someone saved him and encouraged him not to become someone else’s appendage, to find himself, and live for himself.
Could it be that this plot was brought forward, and it had some changes due to the butterfly effect?
But who was that person? Jiao Bai couldn’t remember for a moment.
Jiao Bai’s contemplation made Li Jue panic. He thought about many things haphazardly, and fell into a state of self-blame and guilt: “The money you gave me, I used some of it, and there’s some left. You’re not working now, so your living expenses aren’t enough, right? I’ll transfer the money to you.”
“No need,” Jiao Bai said.
“Why? Let me transfer it to you,” Li Jue cried out, “My tuition is all subsidized by the Qi family. It doesn’t cost much.”
Seeing him so insistent, Jiao Bai changed his mind: “Okay, then transfer it to me.” Could you ever have too much money? Impossible.
Li Jue smiled through his tears: “Okay!”
Jiao Bai recited his new phone number and bank card number, without stuttering at all. He just liked memorizing these things, it felt very grounded.
Shen Er An, who hadn’t said a word, watched the whole process. He didn’t adjust the wings of the paper airplane anymore.
“These past two years, you always ignored my advice and kept sending money to my card. I wrote an IOU for every transaction.” Li Jue seemed to have unloaded a stone from his heart, feeling much more relaxed. “When I graduate and find a job, I’ll pay you back slowly.”
Jiao Bai looked at Li Jue’s naivete and brilliance, speechless.
In the comic, Li Jue only later learned that his neighbor didn’t go out to work, but was sold, and the money he sent him was the money his brother earned from being sold. He thought he was just as disgusting as the other party’s adoptive parents.
The IOU was kept by Li Jue, and became one of the few things he took with him when he finally left South City and left the Shen family. He also donated that sum of money from that year to a charitable organization in the original owner’s name.
The original owner received his boxed lunch in the opening chapters, his life and death all to flesh out Li Jue’s character.
“Xiao Qiu-gege, is the person next to you your friend?”
Jiao Bai heard Li Jue’s soft question, his expression indescribable. While Li Jue was talking to him just now, he had secretly looked at Shen Er An several times, and still couldn’t help but inquire about him.
Moreover, this was one of the many classic scenes of the 《Broken Wings》 official CP.
Jiao Bai didn’t understand what was so classic about it, but fans would always bring up this episode when recommending it.
In the original work, the original owner wasn’t present in this part of the plot. Shen Er An accompanied Liang Dong to the hospital, and Li Jue asked Liang Dong.
Li Jue fell in love with Shen Er An at first sight, and Liang Dong fell in love with Li Jue at first sight. He stupidly announced his name.
Jiao Bai’s casually glancing gaze stopped. Why did it seem like he saw that idiot? He rubbed his eyebrows, and pointed his thumb at Shen Er An: “Shen Er An.”
Li Jue glanced at Shen Er An shyly: “What are the characters for that?”
There was no way Shen Er An would answer. He was blocking the scattered light coming out after the clouds, blocking it very seriously.
Li Jue was like a little star in his hometown. At school, he was the campus belle, loved by both boys and girls. This was the first time he faced having his initiative be coldly ignored. Besides being stunned, he was also at a loss.
Jiao Bai didn’t say anything to smooth things over. He was looking at Li Jue’s profile picture.
It was a small notebook spread open, facing him directly.
A marriage certificate.
The photo on it was just Li Jue himself, the other half was blank.
Jiao Bai had just thought this when lines began to appear on the empty half, the outline gradually appearing, and a stunning face was drawn out.
It was,
—Shen Er An.
Jiao Bai wasn’t the slightest bit surprised that Li Jue’s profile picture was a marriage certificate. Before meeting Shen Er An, Li Jue was someone with dreams. He wanted to finish university and return to his hometown to become a teacher, to help more impoverished students get out of the mountains and into big cities. This was a very great and tenacious idea.
But after meeting Shen Er An, Li Jue had no dreams. What he wanted was also very simple, only a relationship. His world only had Shen Er An. His joys, sorrows, and emotions were all Shen Er An.
At this time, neither of these two was cheap nor a scumbag.
Jiao Bai was still a little apprehensive, and didn’t want to associate with Li Jue too much. Li Jue’s halo was much bigger than Shen Er An’s. As the absolute protagonist, he could always turn bad luck into good, but he would pitthe people around him. The kind that kills without compensation.
But damn it, Li Jue was one of his friends, so he couldn’t avoid contact.
Jiao Bai originally wanted to put Li Jue behind, and after his level went up, get Qi Yi Liao first, then Li Jue, or get Li Jue first and then Qi Yi Liao. Who knew this would come so soon.
Since he was already here…
Jiao Bai ruffled Li Jue’s small, silly hair: “Xiao Yu, how’s my new name?”
Li Jue was stunned by his sudden affectionate action, and stuttered, “It’s, it’s good, delicious.”
Jiao Bai smiled: “I like eating it too.”
Cheng Mountain was snowing.
Jiao Bai observed Shen Young Master out of the corner of his eye. Didn’t it stop snowing this morning? Why did it start snowing again?
Shen Er An lowered his eyes to look at the light and shadow on his shoes, quiet and handsome.
Jiao Bai had no choice. The scumbag gong and cheap shou from when they were young were all his mission targets, and he had to take them into consideration. He could only continue to ponder how to get Li Jue’s activity level to break zero.
The account’s username was Jiao Bai, not Wang Chuqiu.
Therefore, all of Li Jue’s feelings for the original owner didn’t count. He had to generate curiosity and a desire to understand this unfamiliar neighbor.
While Jiao Bai was thinking, a large number of pink bubbles floated up on Li Jue’s marriage certificate profile picture, and they were heart-shaped. And there was piano accompaniment, the whole thing was like a wedding in progress.
Was this the legendary, the moment I saw you, I even thought about the cemetery where we’d be buried together and where we’d meet in the next life?
“Holy shit! It really is you guys!”
A shout suddenly erupted from behind a bush, and then a tall and sturdy baseball-uniformed young man with a spiky handsome face, named Liang Dong, rushed over.
The corner of Jiao Bai’s mouth twitched. So he really didn’t see wrong just now. The idiot who was being pulled by a woman and was about to yell for his mommy was Liang Dong.
Liang Dong was accompanying his older sister to the hospital to see a dermatologist. His older sister had several bald spots on her head, the largest the size of a coin, a tragic sight. She could be said to have brought it upon herself.
Instead of living the life of a white, rich, and beautiful woman, she had to rack her brains to ticket a mistress, and talked nervously about how she had already caught Qi Shuang and his bodyguard having an affair, and was going to report it to Chairman Shen.
Could anyone enter the Shen Corporation so easily?
Even Liang Dong, a sunny and handsome guy, had been worn down. He spat gloomily, and when he looked up to ask what disease Jiao Bai had, the words reached his mouth but he held his breath.
There was a little beauty.
Everything about him was small, so cute.
“Hello,” Liang Dong reached out his hand seriously, “May I ask, who are you?”
Li Jue shook his hand: “I’m Xiao Qiu-gege’s neighbor, Li Jue, the ‘li’ in ‘polite’, and the ‘jue’, two jades.”
Who was the bastard called Xiao Qiu-gege? Liang Dong’s thick black eyebrows rose. Oh, it was the original name of the stir-fried Jiao Bai on the side. He shook the hand he was holding with the little beauty up and down, and said like a hooligan: “Neighbor, not bad, not bad.”
Li Jue withdrew his hand a little unnaturally, and moved his feet towards Jiao Bai.
Jiao Bai watched an old-fashioned pickup live. The protagonist was bound to meet the official gong whenever he went out, and whenever he encountered trouble, he would be run into by the male second and male third, and would always be able to discover truth, goodness, and beauty.
Now the male second and male third weren’t here, but the male fourth was, Liang Dong.
For Li Jue, Liang Dong fell out with Shen Er An and ruined their relationship, and also caused the Liang family’s industry to suffer a great loss. He was forcibly sent abroad to stop, and at the very end, when he was in his thirties, he became a monk.
That was his ending.
His fans cried and collapsed.
The sunlight was running towards this side, and Jiao Bai’s face felt a slight stinging sensation. He quickly put on his mask, and didn’t plan to talk to Li Jue any further. He had already met him, so he could make progress slowly.
“I’m going to get a checkup first,” Jiao Bai said.
“What’s wrong?” Li Jue anxiously called out before Liang Dong could, and after calling out, he swayed, his face losing color.
At the hall just now, he saw a figure, and his heart thumped for a moment, unable to take his eyes off it, and his hands and feet didn’t listen to him.
It wasn’t until he went to pick up the thermos that he saw that Xiao Qiu-gege was standing next to the other party. When he came out, Li Jue found that Xiao Qiu-gege was walking very slowly, but he didn’t think too much about it.
Li Jue’s self-blaming and guilty gaze fell on Jiao Bai’s legs, and he struggled to blurt out three words: “Your legs…”
Jiao Bai said before he could say “Are they crippled”: “No, there’s nothing wrong with my legs. It’s just that the ribs on my back are broken.”
Li Jue was so frightened that he forgot to breathe, and after a few seconds, he began to cry, tears falling like golden beans, crying as if Jiao Bai was about to die.
“Fuck!” Liang Dong cursed fiercely, “Why are you crying, ribs aren’t something that can’t heal!”
Li Jue cried as he said sorry, hiding behind Jiao Bai.
Shen Er An frowned.
Immediately afterwards, one of his legs moved, and his sneakers were stuck between Jiao Bai and Li Jue.
He didn’t go over, but his shoes occupied the space.
Jiao Bai didn’t pay attention to Shen Er An and Li Jue’s little actions. He was pondering Liang Dong’s attitude towards Li Jue. Wasn’t he just seeing stars just now? Why was he lashing out?
Liang Dong wasn’t actually targeting Li Jue, it was just that he couldn’t stand seeing anyone crying in front of him recently. He was scared by his older sister.
“How did your ribs break?” Liang Dong’s mind wasn’t flying too wildly, focusing on Jiao Bai Stir-fry Meat, who had seemingly disappeared after asking for a sick leave.
Jiao Bai glanced at Shen Er An, clearly not wanting to shoulder the responsibility of explaining, wanting the other party to take it.
Liang Dong’s eyes widened: “An-ge, do you know? Were Jiao Bai’s ribs broken by someone? Tell me, and I’ll take people to beat that guy into shit!”
Shen Er An didn’t open his mouth. He just pressed down on the brim of his hat, and said to Jiao Bai, “Go, check.”
“Okay.” Jiao Bai stopped Li Jue from following: “Don’t follow, go do your own thing.”
Li Jue still followed.
Jiao Bai tsked. So it wasn’t for him.
Sure enough, he saw Li Jue walk over to Shen Er An, and say softly: “Can I have your paper airplane?”
Jiao Bai stopped his steps. In Shen Er An’s adolescent years, he and Li Jue were just ordinary classmates. Before that incident happened, Li Jue wasn’t significant or long-lasting in Shen Er An’s world. It was just that he didn’t like him, and didn’t hate him either.
Shen Er An folded a lot of small things, as long as it wasn’t a dragonfly, he shouldn’t care.
Who knew that Shen Er An would shake his head at Li Jue.
Li Jue ran off without even saying goodbye to Jiao Bai. He ran so fast that he staggered, which showed how embarrassed and flustered he was.
Jiao Bai looked at Shen Er An amidst the reminder sound of a friend going offline, and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you give him the paper airplane?”
Shen Er An was silent for a moment, then said, “Too, many words.”
“…” Jiao Bai once again felt the texture of the plot gears. After graduating, Li Jue didn’t look for a job, didn’t have a social circle, and his life was distorted. He just waited at home for Shen Er An to get off work, and gave all his words for the day to the other party.
Shen Er An was very disgusted with him talking non-stop in his ear. Too many words, annoying.
So, what did Shen Er An do?
He made Li Jue mute.
The hospital had been waiting for him for a long time, and Jiao Bai directly did the checkup when he went. When he came out after doing the last checkup, what greeted him were three faces. And they were standing in order of their face value.
They were Shen Er An, Liang Dong, and Chen Yi Ming.
In this comic with an all-handsome cast, even the assistants were proper.
Chen Yi Ming was originally waiting in the car. The chairman made a phone call and issued instructions, so he went to the hospital without delay. He came at the wrong time, and happened to catch the young master’s brothers brandishing their claws, asking this and that, annoying him to death. Fortunately, Jiao Bai finished the checkup.
“Bai-shao, let’s go,” Chen Yi Ming said.
The address changed, and the attitude changed too.
Jiao Bai didn’t care.
However, this reaction of his, in other people’s eyes, was a picture of someone presuming upon their favor, becoming smug, and really taking himself as something.
The look in Liang Dong’s eyes when he looked at Jiao Bai was carrying ice and fire, extremely indignant. His teeth were clenched together, just like he was looking at a slut who put a green hat on him???
He was brain-damaged, but fuck it. Jiao Bai raised his chin at Shen Er An, who was leaning against the wall: “Let’s go.”
Shen Er An strode to walk behind him.
Chen Yi Ming, who came over in a few steps, reported: “Young Master, the chairman said you should go to school.”
Shen Er An didn’t answer.
Liang Dong paced back and forth in the corridor. Jiao Bai really approached An-ge for the sake of Chairman Shen.
And he succeeded? Ha, he succeeded!
Look, look, the little lover was just coming to the hospital to take a film, and that big shot actually had his capable assistant follow him. How doting, a big celebrity.
No wonder he couldn’t get through on the phone. He had already successfully risen to the top, so why would he care about his classmates or his studies?
Liang Dong vigorously raked his hair. What role was An-ge in all this?
Don’t rush, let’s sort out the information. An-ge said that Jiao Bai’s ribs were broken for him. He didn’t say what the specific situation was. But that must be one of Jiao Bai’s plans.
Maybe Jiao Bai could be favored by Chairman Shen again, and it was closely related to that plan.
He was bad. His eyes were full of bad intentions.
No, he had to make An-ge wake up! How could there be a son who got along harmoniously with his father’s lover in the world? Unless he was missing a string.
Liang Dong rushed to the elevator quickly, pressing the button madly.
When Jiao Bai reached the car door, he heard Chen Yi Ming say that they weren’t going directly back to Shangming Garden, but going to the Shen Corporation.
That old thing didn’t know what Pikachu tricks he was playing again.
Jiao Bai saw Liang Dong running wildly out of the building, rushing straight in this direction. He said to Shen Er An, “Your Liang Daddy is afraid you’ll suffer, you talk to him properly, and tell him to worry less.”
“Right,” Jiao Bai added, “As for what he thinks of me, let him think whatever he wants. You don’t need to explain anything for me, it’s not important.”
Shen Er An’s dark eyes under the brim of his hat looked at Jiao Bai.
This person lived casually, and also lived cautiously. He and I were the same, we had a shell.
Shen Er An handed out the paper airplane.
Jiao Bai laughed: “Giving it to me?”
Shen Er An looked at his little tiger teeth: “Fighter jet, you like it.”
“You even know that,” Jiao Bai laughed. What young and old gentlemen didn’t like such a cool little thing? It could be used as an ornament.
Chen Yi Ming, who was on the side, was conflicted. Should he truthfully report this scene?
Forget it, he shouldn’t report it. Let the company have a happy weekend.
There wouldn’t be many more in the future.
Jiao Bai didn’t take the fighter jet: “I didn’t bring a bag, it’s inconvenient to carry it, and it’s easy to lose. Give it to me next time.”
Shen Er An wanted to go to the Shen Corporation with him.
Chen Yi Ming’s scalp went cold. This little one really knew how to add trouble. He said seriously, “Young Master, the chairman hopes you will study hard.”
At this juncture, Liang Dong squeezed over, and pulled back Shen Er An, who was about to approach Jiao Bai.
Jiao Bai took the opportunity to get into the car, and waved to Shen Er An: “Pay attention to your wound, I’ll be back in a while.”
When they arrived at the Shen Corporation and were sitting in the waiting room, Jiao Bai was informed that he was going to West City tonight.
Chen Yi Ming couldn’t have been unaware of this. He hid it all the way, and specially handed over the job of notifying Jiao Bai to a female colleague.
Jiao Bai hadn’t seen the female colleague before, but the moment she opened her mouth, there was a sense of familiarity. She was the lady who reported the old thing’s itinerary to him in the monitoring room every day.
“The chairman arranged for me to receive you, perhaps because he thinks you’re more familiar with me than others.” The female colleague sent a cup of milk to the table in front of Jiao Bai, didn’t leave, and just looked at him.
Jiao Bai slanted his eyes impatiently. What were you looking at me for? Were you waiting for me to be moved to tears?
The female colleague really thought so. She was still preparing to report to the chairman, but it was clear that she wouldn’t be able to wait. She left the waiting room, and was surrounded by a group of sisters, many pairs of eyes full of desire for melons.
In this day and age, homosexuality and same-sex marriage weren’t anything. The chairman’s marriage had been announced to the world, to the Qi family’s youngest son.
But the Qi family’s youngest son hadn’t been to the Shen Corporation yet.
So far, how many people had come and gone around the chairman? Chen Assistant probably couldn’t count them all, but none of those people had been here.
The one in the waiting room was the first.
Everyone’s excitement was unavoidable. They really wanted to know what was so special about that youth, whether he was easy to get along with, and what kind of feelings he had for the chairman.
Was he a little pet with no personality at all, or a lover with a little personality who could show a little temperament appropriately?
The female colleague didn’t share her insights rashly. She sorted out all the small details and guesses she had noticed, and said an ambiguous sentence.
“Cherish the present. It’s estimated that there will be a long period of overtime in the future.”
Ignoring the sisters who were full of question marks, the female colleague went to her desk and sat down, sighing and a little surprised.
The seat under the Qi family of West City’s ass was something he fought for himself. After going through life and death, his family brothers were stepped on by him and couldn’t turn over. He only converted to the gentle and refined route after he had secured his position.
The chairman was exactly the opposite of that one. He had a smooth path to the top, and didn’t have many times when he was unhappy.
And here it came.
That young man in the waiting room had sharp teeth that a pet shouldn’t have. The chairman didn’t know what he was thinking, but he didn’t pull them out. He had probably been bitten long ago.
The female colleague thought of the scratches on the chairman’s face, and recalled the young man’s nails. They were very uneven, as if they were deliberately cut with nail clippers. It must hurt a lot to be scratched by those nails. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.
If the chairman was angry, no one would have a good time.
She was afraid that it wouldn’t be long before a cold wave brought on by sexual frustration would sweep across the entire group.
Jiao Bai hadn’t even finished a cup of milk when the door of the waiting room was opened from the outside. Shen Ji didn’t come in. He stood at the door and said, “Come out, and come with me to the airport.”
“I’m not going.” Jiao Bai sat without moving.
Shen Ji’s expression darkened in an instant.
He had just finished a meeting, and his throat was hoarse, carrying an invisible smoke of war: “Did you think I was discussing this with you?”
Jiao Bai muttered, “Who gave you the guts to think that?”
“Who gave you the guts to think that?”
Chairman Shen said it word for word. Every word contained a superior contempt and the fatigue that came with handling official business. He came here the moment he left the conference room. Not having a body that could relax him was one thing, but he was even given a bad look.
This little dog made him uncomfortable on purpose. Should he just throw him away?
Throw him away now.
Shen Ji looked at the assistant.
Even with his head lowered, Chen Yi Ming could infer his thoughts through the changes in the chairman’s aura.
So, Chairman, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and order me to throw away that prickly reed inside.
Shen Ji withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened.
So this kind of picture appeared on his profile picture.
Pikachu began to take off his cute coat, but he only took off a tiny bit, and then quickly put it back on.
He even checked to see if he had put it on properly.
This showed that he still retained the idea of wanting to attract Jiao Bai’s attention.
Jiao Bai first guessed the president’s lines correctly, and then saw Pikachu’s depraved appearance. He couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing on the spot, and cried out in pain as he laughed.
Shen Ji looked at the little dog’s miserable state, and the haze in his emotions lessened: “Has food been prepared for him?”
“…” Chen Yi Ming said, “It’s been prepared.” It was trash food like Want Want milk candy, potato chips, and potba. It was the first time he had bought it. He didn’t even know how he had gone to pay the bill.
Chen Yi Ming went to his office and brought over a bag of food. The chairman was still standing at the door. He really couldn’t adapt to the chairman’s image of being bullied, it was too weird.
“Bai-shao, we’re going to see Chairman Qi, it only takes an hour-long flight.”
Jiao Bai said, “We’ll be there as soon as we get off the plane?”
Chen Yi Ming: “…”
Jiao Bai just wanted to say haha. One painting in 《Broken Wings》 was an exterior view of an ancient castle. It was called something Manor, that was Qi Yi Liao’s fixed residence, in the depths of the mountains and forests. He didn’t know how bumpy the road there would be. Was he trying to kill him?
The situation froze.
Chen Yi Ming was looking at his phone. Clearly, there wasn’t much time to waste. He gave Jiao Bai a warning look that said “Don’t ask for trouble.”
Jiao Bai believed that even if he didn’t agree, he would be dragged away. He carefully considered for a while, and decided to try to suffer as little as possible.
“The recheck went okay today, but my ribs will still hurt when the car is bumpy,” Jiao Bai said to the old fellow.
Shen Ji said with a cold face and heart: “Is it bad if it hurts? It’ll give you a lesson.”
What did “give you a lesson” mean? These words were simply… Jiao Bai stood up, and said in a strange tone: “Chairman Shen, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I’m like this because I saved your son.”
Shen Ji’s temples throbbed. He suspected that he had contracted an acute illness, the symptom being that he couldn’t listen to the little dog calling him “Chairman Shen” and “you” pretentiously. It was ear-piercing and made him feel uncomfortable all over.
The little dog just did this from time to time, and was doing it on purpose for the most part.
Shen Ji determined that this illness would disappear in two weeks, but now, he couldn’t control his illness. This caused his rationality to regress, and violent and childish taunts surged to the top: “Weren’t you doing it for your friendship?”
Jiao Bai met his gaze for a while, nodded, and said “Okay,” before walking towards the window. Mother egg, how should he retreat to advance?
Suddenly, an aggressive force pulled Jiao Bai away from the window. He was both pained and shocked.
“What are you doing standing by the window?” Shen Ji grabbed Jiao Bai’s thin wrist, violently grinding his fingertips against his blue blood vessels, and said in a low voice, his eyes extremely cold.
Behind that cold light, something vaguely surged to the surface.
It was an impatience that even the parties hadn’t been able to capture.
Fleeting.
So fast that it was difficult to detect.
Jiao Bai, who happened to see a bit of it: “…”
He judged according to the current situation, and came to a very terrifying conclusion.
The chairman of the Shen Corporation had lost his mind.
Jiao Bai was dumbfounded. Even if he was squeezed by a difficult situation and couldn’t think straight and wanted to jump off the building, that window couldn’t be opened. How was he going to jump? By going through it?
Shen Ji also reacted. He seemed to be stunned for a second or two, and pushed Jiao Bai away expressionlessly.
He probably also felt like he had lost face, so he waved his hand and knocked off the vase on the long-legged stool next to him.
He grabbed the little dog’s chin, and said amidst that loud, crisp sound: “There’s a doctor traveling with us, don’t mess with me again.”
This was the greatest concession he had ever made.
If he dared to disobey again, he would throw him away.
Jiao Bai looked at the Pikachu that was automatically tightening its pink coat, and opened the old thing’s hand: “What are we going to West City for? Why are you bringing me?”
Shen Ji said, “To visit someone who’s sick.” And for a sea trip along the way.
Jiao Bai blurted out: “Qi Yi, is Chairman Qi sick? What kind of sickness? How did he get sick?” No way, that was a heavyweight opponent he had specially saved for later.
Shen Ji was just about to have the assistant buy two more bags of milk when he heard this sentence. His expression first stagnated, and then a storm seemed to be brewing: “You’re so concerned about him?”
Jiao Bai: “…”
There was really nothing to say about this. He couldn’t refute it.
Shen Ji’s expression was unreadable.
Just as this strange atmosphere was spreading, Shen Ji’s phone rang. The caller ID said “A Liao.”
Shen Ji hooked one arm around the little dog’s waist, and pressed the phone screen with the other hand.
He didn’t answer it.
He hung up directly.
