Mr Wayward

Chapter 22

I don't agree that Shen Yichen is watering the flower bed. He has been at home for two days to cultivate himself. He wears home clothes and looks serious about taking care of the flowers and plants. He looks peaceful and peaceful. When he heard Ji Changning's words by surprise, his hands froze , the slender stream of water stagnates from the mouth of the watering can.

Shen Yichen turned his head and looked directly at Ji Changning, he said slowly: "What move out?"

Ji Changning tried his best to pretend to be calm, "It literally means that I want to move out." He was silent for a few seconds, and asked curiously, "Aren't you angry?...I hit you." Actually Ji Changning guessed in his heart that Shen Yichen would become angry from embarrassment, anyway, he was the one who made the move first, and Shen Yichen probably delayed a lot of things by him.

Ji Changning thought a lot when he was hospitalized. He hated to use violence to solve things. There were many conflicts between him and Shen Yichen. Whether it was caused by others or by himself, they never used fists to decide the outcome. Break this principle yourself.

After hearing this, Shen Yichen turned to look at Ji Changning, his gaze made Ji Changning want to divert his gaze, but he forced himself to look at Shen Yichen.

What a rare thing. After thinking about it for so many years, it was the first time he had the courage to tell Shen Yichen clearly. He didn't want to back down at all. In the past, Shen Yichen dominated their relationship. This time Ji Changning didn't want to be pushed away again. .

"It's okay." Shen Yichen said lightly, but he turned his eyes away first, because he noticed that the corners of Ji Changning's mouth had scabs, his face was a little pale, and he probably didn't feel well. These were all caused by his own hands. His regret has reached its peak at this moment, he has been playing the role of taking care of Ji Changning.

Ji Changning pursed his lips, he mulled over his tone, and said what he had thought up before: "I won't go around in circles with you anymore, let's get together and break up, it's meaningless to delay each other for so many years." After finishing speaking, his heart pounded Boom, it seemed as if a bunch of fireworks suddenly went off in my brain, bang.

He finally spoke up.

"Good to get together and good to go?"

"No fun?"

Shen Yichen repeated his words, his sharp eyes looked at Ji Changning, Shen Yichen saw the other's stubborn and firm gaze, he could see that Ji Changning was a little nervous and stubborn.

"But I remember that we had a very good relationship not long ago. We spent a pleasant vacation together. Why did you suddenly mention..." After all, Shen Yichen didn't say the word "breakup". Very well, those few days were like glue, and nothing happened afterwards. He couldn't explain what made Ji Changning change so much.

"It was the past, but now I want to break up." Ji Changning didn't want to explain too much.

He said breaking up so easily, Shen Yichen's face turned cold, and he said flatly: "I don't agree." He never thought of breaking up with Ji Changning, and he didn't allow Ji Changning to leave him without authorization.

"I'm not discussing with you." Ji Changning's face was calm, but his slightly shortness of breath revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Shen Yichen looked at him deeply: "You are very irrational now, shall we talk after you calm down?" His tone was like that of an elder, and Ji Changning at this moment was like a child in the rebellious period in his eyes.

"I'm very calm. I've wanted to break up a long time ago. I've thought about it countless times in my heart." Ji Changning said quickly, his words didn't even pass his brain, it was purely his heartfelt voice.

Shen Yichen's eyes instantly became very scary, the air was silent for a few seconds, he felt a fishy sweetness welling up in his throat, but Shen Yichen quickly suppressed the violence in his heart.

He took a deep breath and said: "Okay, okay, this is not suitable for talking about things, let's go to the study." He put down the watering can in his hand, and the veins on the back of the hand he held just now were bulging, and he turned and left the flowerbed.

There is nothing to talk about.

Ji Changning looked at his back silently, but he followed after all, thinking sadly: Well, let's make it clear in the past.

Ji Changning stepped into the study room. The study room is Shen Yichen's private place. No servants in the house can enter except the housekeeper. Although Ji Changning is not banned, he rarely goes in. The last time he came here was to deal with the carpet that was stained by him. , Ji Changning subconsciously looked at the place that was wet with coffee, of course it had disappeared long ago, and the housekeeper had already replaced it with a new wool carpet.

Shen Yichen also looked at the past, but what he was thinking about was the last time Huan Ai, he was even more incomprehensible, how long had passed, Ji Changning seemed to be a different person.

They sat facing each other on the small round table by the window, and when Ji Changning looked out of the window, he saw Dabai chasing butterflies in the yard, looking very excited, and ran out of sight.

The housekeeper served them tea. Ji Changning held the teacup with both hands, and the heat rose from the mouth of the cup. Ji Changning lowered his head to watch the tea stems sink and float in the water.

He looked very docile and peaceful like this, the look Shen Yichen was most familiar with, and he was completely different from the look he fought with him two days ago, but it was this "well-behaved" Ji Changning who said the most rebellious words.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Shen Yichen said the first sentence, but it was an irrelevant matter.

"Ah?" Ji Changning stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. His injury was not serious. After the swelling of his wrist completely subsided, it was almost impossible to tell that he had been injured. "It doesn't hurt if you don't move."

Shen Yichen looked at him quietly, "Sorry, I shouldn't have done it."

Ji Changning didn't reply.

He thought he was being led by the nose again, and he didn't know what Shen Yichen's sudden apology was for.

He is a little irritable.

Like at the negotiating table.

Ji Changning doesn't like this. Negotiation is Shen Yichen's forte. He puts pressure on him with his usual superior attitude, but Ji Changning doesn't want to be his opponent or employee.

"Just like resigning, breaking up is a matter of personal decision. Being together requires the consent of both parties, but it is enough for one party to break up." Ji Changning returned to the topic, and he said very seriously.

Shen Yichen smiled, "Employees have to ask the reason for resignation. Sometimes adjusting work can solve the problem, so what about you, you should give me a reason too."

Ji Changning remained silent. He felt that the answer to this question was too complicated and could not be answered in a few words.

Shen Yichen continued: "We don't need to go to this point, I hope you can tell me frankly, maybe there is some misunderstanding."

What he said was sincere, but Ji Changning just continued to remain silent, thinking that there was no misunderstanding.

Shen Yichen: "...do you have someone else you like?" To be honest, he didn't really want to ask this.

Ji Changning: "No." He finally answered.

Shen Yichen: "Did I do something that you can't forgive?"

Ji Changning nodded and shook his head.It can be accurately said that it has not reached this level, and it is not that he cannot bear it, it is just that he suddenly got tired of it.

"Enough, don't talk anymore." Ji Changning interrupted him, he didn't want to listen to Shen Yichen's question anymore, he picked up the cup and drank the tea in it all at once, the tea had already become warm and cold when their ink stains, then It's the best Biluochun, and Ji Changning is so outrageous, but Shen Yichen just refills him with another cup of tea.

"I am very grateful to you. You have given me support in many ways. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to hold on long ago. If I do it all over again, I might still choose the same path."

"It's not surprising that our relationship started from a mistake, and then we became strangers. I thought about trying to maintain this relationship...but I couldn't."

"We've been together for too long, I'm no longer new to you, it's just that the sunk cost is too high, you've spent so much time and energy on me, but maybe cutting the mess quickly is the best way."

Shen Yichen pressed his temples, looking a little tired: "Don't slander me, I haven't thought about it this way, I've been doing my best to treat you, don't you feel it, haven't I done enough?"

Ji Changning's men subconsciously grabbed their pants, "I said, I am very grateful to you, you are the best person I have ever met, maybe no one will treat me so well in the future, but I don't think we are suitable for being together .”

Shen Yichen pondered for a while, "...it seems to be confessing."

Shen Yichen said again: "You still love me, we have feelings."

Ji Changning had nothing to say, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Afterwards, they were silent for a long time. If the content of the conversation was ignored, they seemed to be having a harmonious and beautiful afternoon tea.

Ji Changning's eyes gradually turned red.

He has feelings for Shen Yichen, if he doesn't care about who has so many emotions, it has nothing to do with Shen Yichen fluttering the colorful flags outside, but he can't do it.

But when Shen Yichen said it outright, he felt embarrassed, he was like a clown, like an abandoned puppy, as long as someone threw a leftover bone to him, he would happily wag his tail at people.

He has done a long time of psychological construction, he wants to face Shen Yichen with a tough attitude, it is best to point at his nose and curse, but he is still the same as before, drifting with the flow, muddling along.

Shen Yichen's heart was so soft that he stretched out his hand to wipe Ji Changning's tears, but Ji Changning avoided it, but Ji Changning never shed a single tear from the beginning to the end.

"It's impossible for you not to know why." Ji Changning got up and left after leaving this sentence.

Shen Yichen said behind him: "Let's separate and calm down for a few days, I will go out to live, I hope you can reconsider."

"No need." Ji Changning said coldly, nothing would change.

Ji Changning submitted a resignation application to the board of directors, but the director was undecided. Everyone knew that he was a relative of the boss. Someone asked Shen Yichen what to do, and Shen Yichen agreed, "Don't make things difficult for him." He said.

The speed of resignation was beyond Ji Changning's expectation. He completed the resignation procedures in the personnel department the next afternoon. He thought he would have to take another month's shift to hand over work. Who would have thought that he was still working overtime a few days ago. You can pack up your burden and get out.

Ji Changning laughed at himself that the world would not turn around just because there is no one else, and there will be someone who can replace him at any time.

The secretary was very reluctant to part with him, and asked him if he had planned this long ago and why it was so sudden when he helped him tidy up the office.

Ji Changning said: "Most people's resignation is the product of impulsiveness, and those who think before and after will stay instead."

Impulsively, he got into a fight with Shen Yichen, broke up with him, and quit his job by the way. He didn't like this job at first, but out of a sense of responsibility, he required himself to be more than qualified.

Maybe it will be better after changing people.

The housekeeper reminded Ji Changning that all the things for Chongyang ancestor worship were ready. In fact, Ji Changning was supposed to leave yesterday, but because too many things happened in the past few days, he was delayed.

Ji Changning was a little hesitant, he hesitated between moving and postponing his return to his hometown.

The housekeeper advised him not to worry about this moment, he has lived for so long, why should he be obsessed with these few days.

Ji Changning decided to go back to his hometown first, and he really didn't need to deliberately "avoid suspicion" about everything about Shen Yichen. His life had long been affected by Shen Yichen in every aspect, so he couldn't tell the difference.

He did not deny that Shen Yichen gave him a lot of help, without Shen Yichen, he would not have everything he is today.

It's just that people want to live for themselves, so let him be a villain who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges once.

"Your hand is injured, let me find someone to drive for you." The housekeeper made a suggestion.

Ji Changning: "My hands don't hurt anymore."

Butler: "What if something happens, it's not good for others."

Ji Changning was convinced that he couldn't take other people's lives as a joke, after all, there are only a few people who are alone like him.

On the day of departure, the butler had already put his luggage in the trunk of the car for him. Ji Changning even carried a bag on his back. He opened the door of the back seat, got in the car and closed the door in one go. Then he pointed his head and said to the driver in front: "Master, I'm going to trouble you today, thank you..." Ji Changning was stunned suddenly, "Why are you?"

What answered him was the sound of the car being locked, and then the car started.

Ji Changning's face changed slightly, he grabbed the handlebar and pushed it out, naturally he didn't move at all, he asked vigilantly, "Where are you taking me?"

Shen Yichen looked back at him, his tone was sparse and normal: "Don't you want to go home, I'll take you back."
