Mr Wayward

Chapter 26

Shen Yichen's heart tightened when he saw the message, and he didn't reply for a while after sending it. He thought Ji Changning was still angry and didn't want to talk to him, but he finally waited for the person to reply, and he actually told him that he had a new relationship.

How dare Ji Changning?

Shen Yichen was furious, how could Ji Changning find someone else, how long have they been apart, are they so unwilling to be lonely?

Who is he?

How did you get together?

What do you like about him?

How long have you been together?

He wanted to ask countless things, but in the end he just slammed his phone on the table, Shen Yichen slammed the door and walked out, the housekeeper hurriedly asked what happened, Shen Yichen said with a gloomy face to find out who Ji Changning's new love is.

The butler was stunned on the spot, this...he heard it right?Ji Changning actually has a new partner?

He complied with awe-inspiring face, but he was powerless. How would he find someone in the middle of the Chinese New Year? Ji Changning's shop was closed for rest, and he himself stayed at home and didn't even go out.

The housekeeper is very puzzled, usually it is not obvious that Ji Changning is in a relationship, they occasionally patronize Ji Changning's store, Ji Changning works in the store, and his demeanor is the same as usual, I have never seen him being particularly close to anyone, The circle of friends did not announce the relationship, and most of the rest time was playing games.

The butler had to deal with a lot of things during the New Year and had to take Ji Changning into consideration. Shen Yichen was thinking about the same incompetence. The New Year is the busiest time for entertainment. He was a little distracted when he was with friends. Knowing that he was "frustrated in love", he patted his chest and promised to find him someone who was better at serving others than Ji Changning, but Shen Yichen was not interested.

Shen Yichen asked the bad friend if he had seen Ji Changning recently?

Huanyouxin said that he and I were completely in different circles. I hadn't seen him a few times before when you were separated. How can I see him now?But he saw that Shen Yichen became sober after breaking up with him, what a hell.

Bad friend frowned, "Are you serious?" It's just a lover by your side.

Shen Yichen was displeased, "How can I not be serious after more than ten years?"

The bad friend murmured: "Who knows you, okay, I'll pay attention."

*Ji Changning is not very sensitive to festivals, but at least it is the most solemn Spring Festival of the year. He remembered a custom that cannot be cleaned during Chinese New Year, saying that it would sweep away luck. He is not a superstitious person, but he also remembered that the New Year in his hometown If he doesn't sweep the floor, even if the floor is full of firecrackers and confetti, he plans to clean the house thoroughly before New Year's Eve.

When he first moved into this house, he thought he could take care of the hygiene. The home was decorated in a simple and elegant direction, with dishwashers, dryers, sweeping robots and other appliances that use technology to improve happiness.

The house he lived in when he was a child in his hometown was also a single-family building. He had never seen anyone who needed housekeeping, or complained that the house was too big to clean.

On the day of moving in, Ji Changning confidently took a broom and swept all the way down from the roof, then mopped the floor, and wiped the furniture with a damp rag. Halfway through, he felt exhausted.

Tsk, I'm really used to being pampered.

Ji Changning spurned himself, but the next day he found a housekeeping company and asked someone to come and clean it once a week.

But even the housekeeping aunt will be on holiday during the Chinese New Year, so Ji Changning has a lot of work to clean the house. He didn't finish it until the evening, and felt back pain when he rested.

But he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. When he was busy, he would not think about it. It should be rare for a person like him to be alone, even if he spends the New Year alone.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Ji Changning cooked himself a "big meal", two packs of instant noodles, frozen dumplings, cooked in a big pot.

Regarding cooking, Ji Changning thinks he is very good at cooking. When he first moved in, he bought a batch of ingredients and filled the refrigerator. He planned what he would eat for three meals a day, and he could bring his own lunch when he went to work.

His freshness only lasted for three days. Washing vegetables and dishes was too troublesome, so he chose to solve the problem of eating outside.

The businesses are on holiday during the Chinese New Year, and there are very few takeaways to order, so he had to buy a bunch of frozen food and put them in the refrigerator.

The TV is playing the Spring Festival Gala, he is not interested in it, but his home is really too empty, it would be more lively with some background music.

When Ji Changning is a fan, he wants to stop keeping a pet. The whole fish tank, or a few turtles, this kind of pet that doesn't require too much energy will be more suitable for him. He feels that cats and dogs can't take care of him.

Eating too much instant noodles makes him tired, Ji Changning can't help himself not to recall what he had for the New Year's Eve dinner in the past, even if the family conditions were not good when he was a child, the New Year's Eve night was very rich.

Ah... I want to eat chicken legs.

The more Ji Changning thought about it, the more greedy he became, and suddenly he remembered that his birthday was here, to be precise, it had already passed.Because he has tried to celebrate his birthday on New Year's Eve for more than ten years, it is easy to think of it.

Ji Changning took out his mobile phone to look at the calendar. His birthday was three days ago, but he didn't remember it at all.

Fewer and fewer people pay attention to the lunar calendar these days, and the corresponding dates are different every year. Except for parents, who has the patience to remember, even he himself missed it.

Ji Changning thought for a while, then subconsciously slid his finger to WeChat, he scrolled down to the message sent to him by Shen Yichen, looked at the sending date, he pondered for a few seconds, then checked the date in the calendar, and repeated it twice before he was sure Shen Yichen contacted him on his birthday.

And then no more.

It is estimated that he ran away in anger.

Ji Changning's mood was a bit complicated, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved, Shen Yichen was probably the only person in the world who still remembered his birthday.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, Ji Changning was very absent-minded. He didn't come back to his senses until the hosts counted down the New Year. He would call Shen Yichen at this time in previous years. Shen Yichen is not at home on New Year's Eve. He wants to be filial by his family.

They would greet the New Year together on the phone, and after hanging up the phone, Ji Changning happily waited for Shen Yichen to send him a big red envelope.

There are no red envelopes this year.

Ji Changning said to himself, he was hesitating whether to send Shen Yichen a happy new year, but the relationship between the two of them is not suitable now, they are not connected at all.

During the few seconds he was hesitating, the New Year came quietly, and soon he received a bunch of New Year greetings sent in groups. His first thought was regret, and he would have sent them in groups if he knew it earlier. Many of the messages he received came from people who met in the store. students, the others are colleagues and friends, anyway, there is no Shen Yichen.

He Li also sent him New Year's greetings, and Ji Changning received a call after saying Happy New Year. He Li said excitedly that he would be back soon.

Ji Changning: "Oh? That's good."

He Li: "I miss you very much, do you miss me?"

Ji Changning: "Well, me too."

He Li: "When I go back, let's go out and have a meal?"

Ji Changning: "Okay."

After making the phone call, Ji Changning was in low spirits. He simply cleaned up the snacks on the table, and then went to sleep. He didn't sleep well. In his dream, he was playing outside with fireworks when he was young, and he was accompanying him at other times. Watching his aunt's younger brothers and sisters playing, Shen Yichen's face dangled in front of him for a while, and then he dreamed of He Li, and the restless mood directly woke him up from his sleep.

On the day He Li came back, he invited him out for dinner. Ji Changning was in the store at that time counting items and preparing for the opening of the store in a few days.

When He Li went to pick him up, he asked puzzledly: "It's still early to leave the store, why are you going to work in the store so soon?"

In fact, what he wants to ask more is why Ji Changning opened this store. In his opinion, the profit margin of this store is not high, and the customers are all students. He knows that Ji Changning is not short of money. When he first met Ji Changning, he He is still the boss of the company, but after breaking up with Shen Yichen, he is willing to live in a snack bar. He thinks that he is somewhat overqualified.

"It's coming soon, the Spring Festival holiday will be over soon, and I'm free at home, so I just come to the store to have a look." Ji Changning said.

I get tired of playing games at home every day, and I feel like wasting my time, so I want to come out and do something serious.

He Li glanced at him beside him, "What are your plans in the future, do you want to keep opening the store?"

"Huh?" Ji Changning didn't quite understand what he meant.

"If you want, I can introduce you to my friend's company. I don't think Mr. Shen is a man with a small belly, so I won't make things difficult for you."

Ji Changning was speechless for a while. He didn't know what He Li had misunderstood. Could it be that he thought he was revenged by Shen Yichen and banned in the industry?God knows they broke up peacefully, but it was not suitable for him to say these words to He Li, so he remained silent.

Besides, why did he have to change jobs? Is opening a shop a very contemptible thing? After all, he is a small boss.

Ji Changning was a little puzzled. He used to be very envious of the people who opened his own shop, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of some people, it was a profession that could not be put on the table.

Seeing that he didn't return to him, He Li changed the topic of chat knowingly. He smiled and said that the restaurant he was going to should be very suitable for Ji Changning.

If the previous Ji Changning must have been moved, he was full of enthusiasm for eating, but this time he felt bored. He looked at the road view outside the window. There were few cars on the road before the Spring Festival, and the orange street lights were shining above. So boring.

Ji Changning thought that he really didn't have that kind of intention towards He Li.

Feelings can be cultivated.Ji Changning forced himself to cheer up, since he promised to try together, he had to try, and he also hoped to start a new life.

The only thing he can be sure of is that he doesn't know He Li as well as he imagined.

It seemed that getting together was a bit hasty, Ji Changning sighed in his heart.

But the beginning between him and Shen Yichen was absurd, they didn't even pursue a confession, the two of them have been together for a long time, maybe he will change his mind about He Li in the future.

Unfortunately, his dissatisfaction with He Li gradually escalated during the dinner - He Li was forcing him to drink.

In the beginning, it was just a drink for you and me for a light drink, but then the taste changed. He Li poured him the wine enthusiastically.

He Li heard that Ji Changning was not good at drinking, and he didn't intend to force him to drink at first. He blamed Ji Changning for being too charming when he smiled with the rim of his wine glass in his mouth. His cheeks were peachy and red, and his eyes looked at you tenderly. like water.

Fuck a gentleman, a man must seize the opportunity.

When he first met Ji Changning, it was the scene where Ji Changning was drunk. Ji Changning held his chin in the corner and looked at the people in the venue. Lei, but before he had time to strike up a conversation, Shen Yichen took a step ahead of him. Before he could speak, Ji Changning took the initiative to put his arms around Shen Yichen's neck and kissed him. He Li watched helplessly as he was as soft as spring water in another man's arms.

Ji Changning was taken away by Shen Yichen.

Now, he has the same opportunity.

He Li looked at Ji Changning with straightforward eyes, salivating.

Ji Changning felt like he was facing a wolf dog while he was a piece of meat.

He looked at the expensive bottle of red wine on the table. To be honest, even if he drank the whole bottle, he might not be drunk, but he wanted to see what He Li wanted to do, so he pretended to be drunk like he used to fool Shen Yichen.

Seeing that the time was about the same, He Li asked cautiously: "It's so late, shall I take you back to my house to rest?"

Ji Changning snorted through his nose, and said lazily, "Why, I want to go back to my home."

When He Li heard that his bones were going to crumble, he tried to persuade: "It's dangerous for you to go back to live alone at this late hour, you see you're drunk again, go to my place and I can take care of you.

Ji Changning looked at him with a half-smile, "Is that all you want to do with me?"

He Li was stunned for a second, he didn't expect Ji Changning to say it so directly, he changed his face, and finally admitted with open hands: "They are all adults, there is no need to pretend to be innocent." You Ji Changning followed Shen Yichen so much For many years, I haven't played any tricks, so who can I show my reserve.

Ji Changning was also silent for a few seconds, and continued lightly: "Okay, show me the medical report first, and I'll think about it."

He Li's face became ugly.

In fact, Ji Changning was serious when he said this. After he broke up with Shen Yichen, he went to the hospital for a detailed physical examination. He didn't miss anything from head to toe. The results showed that he was very healthy.

He was not surprised by this. After all, the company organizes inspections every year, and he has not seen any problems for so many years.

After all, everyone who was sent to Shen Yichen's bed was "clean".

Ji Changning laughed at himself. He remembered some things that he had neglected in the past. For example, he was working at Shangjing that year. After learning that he could be "promoted", they asked him to go to the hospital for a physical examination, and the company reimbursed him in full. Very happy, I didn't expect to be sent to Shen Yichen's bed.

It's fun to play, but it's a pity for life.

Ji Changning didn't want to die, nor did he want to contract a strange disease.

He's not an innocent teenager, doesn't take sex that seriously, and doesn't mind letting it go if the time is right.

But these words seemed insulting to He Li, and he said angrily, "You think I'm dirty?"

Ji Changning still looked at him with a smile, "Why, it's always good to be safe, no one wants to get STDs, right?"

Those charming thoughts in He Li's heart disappeared, and he swallowed his anger and sent Ji Changning home.

He Li didn't contact him for a few days afterwards, but Shen Yichen found him first, and he replied slowly to Ji Changning's sentence, "It's good, I have a partner".

Shen Yichen said: "Your boyfriend is no good!"

A full seven days late.

Shen Yichen found out that his new boyfriend's name was He Li, he had a bad reputation, and he couldn't count the number of men and women he had talked with. He wondered how Ji Changning could handle such a veteran in love, and there were no bones left to be eaten.

Ji Changning: "?"

Are you still investigating me?Ji Changning was furious.

Shen Yichen: "Your eyesight is bad."

Ji Changning's fingers fluttered across the keyboard: "Don't worry about it."

Ji Changning cursed at the phone: "I'm only blind to be with you for so many years."

What he hates the most is Shen Yichen's desire to control him, if he manages too much, it's a double standard.

Shen Yichen frowned there, he endured it, and continued: "He is not as good as you imagined, you have been cheated."

Ji Changning: "I don't believe it."

Shen Yichen smashed his new phone again.

He paced the room with his hips akimbo, with nowhere to vent his anger.

Reverse, reverse, reverse, Ji Changning really reversed.

Ji Changning didn't want Shen Yichen to control him again, he had the final say on whether He Li could do it or not, he made his own decision.

Ji Changning gave himself an ultimatum. He reflected that what he said when they met last time was indeed a bit too much. He would try to accept He Li for the last time, if he really has no feelings, forget it.

Ji Changning called He Li, who seemed a little surprised. Ji Changning said that he would come out to get together if he had time.

He Li immediately said: "Yes! When do you want to make an appointment?"

Ji Changning paused, and then said, "Well, the 14th."

Just in time for Valentine's Day.

But at this moment He Li was silent, and Ji Changning asked sharply, "What's wrong? Don't you have time today?" He quickly looked at the calendar hanging on the wall, it showed that it was a weekend day, so you can't say you're busy with work, right? ?

He Li thought about it and said, "Yes, I've been a little busy recently."

Ji Changning was silent for a few seconds, "No time at night?"

He Li didn't speak.

Ji Changning was full of exhaustion, "Okay, then you should be busy." He pressed his temple, and continued: "We are not suitable to be lovers, so let's be friends again."

He probably bumped into an unfortunate incident by accident, and he definitely didn't want to know what it was.

Ji Changning's nose was a little sore, he seemed to really have bad eyesight, and the people he met were not good matches.

"Wait a minute." He Li raised his voice on the other end of the phone, "I really have something to do that day, another day, the next day?"

Ji Changning calmly said forget it.

He Li: "I'll see if I can find some time. Can you at least give me a chance?"

Ji Changning didn't reply, he hung up the phone.
