Chapter 33 (1)

"Well, you can go back and rest too, just give me the car keys." Jiang Zhou said.

Secretary Liu put the keys on the table and explained some things before leaving. Jiang Zhou was the only one left in the empty meeting room.

He opened his eyes and looked at his watch, it was only six o'clock.So he took off his tie, stood up, went to the sofa next to him and lay down, and simply covered his stomach with his coat.

In the past few years, Jiang Zhou's sleep has been very light, and he rarely sleeps through the night. He only wakes up after sleeping for an hour and a half.

Checking the time again, it was already half past seven. He sat up, put on his coat, took the car keys, and went to the underground garage.

On the way, passing several breakfast stalls, the aroma of hot soy milk and the white mist from steamed buns wafted over, Jiang Zhou stopped the car and walked over.

With a click, the door opened, and Jiang Zhou came in early with a bag. There was no one in the living room, and it was already eight o'clock. It stands to reason that the man should have woken up.

When changing shoes, Jiang Zhou stopped and frowned when he saw two pairs of slippers neatly placed in the shoe cabinet.

This time, he didn't change his slippers, and went straight to the bedroom. Sure enough, the quilt in the bedroom was neatly folded, and there was no sign of Chen Ju.

After returning from the bar to sleep for two hours, the alarm clock rang again. Chen Ju turned off the alarm clock, yawned and sat up from the bed.

Before I got sick, working two shifts like this was tiring, but tolerable, but now I am extremely tired, my whole body is sore and limp, and there seems to be a tense muscle in my head.

Barely recovering, Chen Ju sat up from the bed, dressed slowly, walked to the sink with eyes closed, washed briefly, then took a large iron porcelain cup on the table, put the hardI broke off a few pieces of steamed buns and put them in, and poured more than half a cup of hot water.

The steaming heat rushed towards the face, and the eyes that had been dry and astringent finally felt better. The steamed buns were soaked in hot water and softened, but the taste was not good at all, and they could barely be swallowed.

While eating, suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and then the mottled iron door creaked open. Chen Ju raised his head and saw the man standing at the door with a surprised expression on his face.

It's Jiang Zhou, why is he here?

While Chen Ju was in a daze, Jiang Zhou took a look at the situation in the room, and finally his eyes stopped on the steaming iron porcelain cup on the table.It's steamed buns.

"You eat this in the morning?" Jiang Zhou said, the expression on his face froze and turned cold.

Chen Ju stood up quickly, before she could put down the chopsticks in her hand, she looked at Jiang Zhou awkwardly, and stammered, "You, why are you here?"

"Why don't you live there? Didn't Secretary Liu send you there last night?" Jiang Zhou walked in and stopped inside the house. The rental house became narrower and smaller against his tall figure.

The strong sense of oppression made Chen Ju nervous. He lowered his head, stared at the steaming iron porcelain cup on the table, and replied in a low voice: "I have a place to live."

"A place that can be stopped like this? Even turning around feels crowded." Jiang Zhou suppressed his anger in his tone.

Hearing this sentence, Chen Ju clenched the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head, met Jiang Zhou's gaze, pursed his lips and said, "It's very small here, but I think it's good enough, it's enough."

Jiang Zhou looked at Chen Ju. It was rare for a man to see anything other than timidity in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Move out, I won't say a second time."

With heat welling up in his eyes, Chen Ju pursed his mouth tightly, stopped looking at Jiang Zhou, sat down sullenly, and continued to eat his steamed buns soaked in boiled water.

Seeing Chen Ju's indifferent attitude, Jiang Zhou frowned, threw the bag in his hand on the table, and said, "Don't eat that kind of thing, finish this."

The movements in Chen Ju's hands paused, and he buried his head and continued to stuff the steamed buns into his mouth, as if he didn't hear Jiang Zhou's words.

"Tsk, pretend not to hear?" Jiang Zhou grasped the iron porcelain cup involuntarily, unexpectedly, Chen Ju was quite strong, holding the iron porcelain cup tightly to prevent Jiang Zhou from taking it away.

"I like to eat this." Chen Ju lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

"Let go." Jiang Zhou squinted his eyes, his voice sounded like ice scum, Chen Ju froze for a few seconds, and then let go.

He was afraid that Jiang Zhou would beat him up.

Jiang Zhou walked to the pool and poured out the mixture of water and steamed buns. The hot air mixed with the smell of steamed buns came up. The sour smell made him frown. Is this what men eat all the time?No wonder he always looks weak due to malnutrition.

"Clean up your things after eating, and move them to my place." Jiang Zhou put down the iron porcelain cup, turned around, and looked at Chen Ju with his arms folded.

Chen Ju's eyes were red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting Jiang Zhou to see him.

"I've already paid the rent, so I can't move." He lowered his head and said.

"How much? I'll give you, is 10,000 enough?" Jiang Zhou said. He walked up to Chen Ju, bent down, reached out and pinched the man's chin, forcing him to look up at him. Sure enough, the man's nose andHis eyes were all red, but Jiang Zhou didn't take back his next words because of this, "Chen Ju, do you think that, I will pity you?"

"I didn't!" Chen Ju said hastily, her eyes already glowing.

"If you don't have it, pack up your things and move out." Jiang Zhou let go of his hand, his eyes were cold, "I don't want to come to this kind of place every time I look for you."

Chen Ju lowered his head, clenched his palms tightly, and his chest heaved up and down. After a while, he suppressed the sourness welling up in his eyes, and made a weak and inaudible voice from his throat: "I see."

what an idiot

"There's not even a place to sit." Jiang Zhou frowned, walked to the edge of the iron bed and sat down, only to find that it was only a thin layer with his palm on the mat, and he could clearly feel the coolness of the iron plate under the mat.Lowering his eyes, there was only a neatly folded quilt on the bed, not much thicker than a mattress.

Chen Ju opened the breakfast bag on the table. Inside were two big steamed buns and a cup of hot soybean milk. He had more appetite than the steamed buns just now, and he couldn't help swallowing.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't get along with the food, and it was still his favorite big meat bun.

After breakfast, under Jiang Zhou's gaze, Chen Ju began to pack his luggage. There were more than forty minutes before he went to work, so he had to hurry up.

"Okay, okay." Chen Ju packed his luggage as quickly as possible. He had just moved in, and there were very few things. A large backpack and two thin quilts were tied with hemp rope.

Jiang Zhou came over, picked up the two neatly folded quilts, threw them on the iron bed, and said coldly, "I don't want this one."

"This is too." The iron porcelain cup with a large mouth was also thrown aside.

"I have the slippers. Throw away the broken ones." The blue plastic slippers did not escape the fate of being thrown into the trash can.

"How old is this pajamas? Throw it away." Just as Jiang Zhou was about to throw it away, Chen Ju couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed forward, hugged his pajamas, and hid by the door.

Jiang Zhou frowned, looked at Chen Ju, stretched out a hand, and said coldly, "Bring it."

Chen Ju hugged her pajamas tightly, turned her head away from Jiang Zhou's eyes, and resisted to the death: "This pajamas are still in good condition, no, you can't throw them away."

"It's so small, are you sure it fits you right now?" Jiang Zhou turned cold, and picked up the bulging backpack, "Chen Ju, you choose for yourself, whether to keep that pajamas, or throw away this bag."

Chen Ju's eyes widened in panic, her fingers clenched the pajamas in her arms, hesitated for a few seconds, reluctantly moved to Jiang Zhou, handed the pajamas over with both hands, and said in a small voice: "You, you throw this away.”

Jiang Zhou reached for the pajamas, but he didn't take it away at the first time. He called Chen Ju's name in a low voice, and the man reluctantly let go.

The next moment, the pajamas were mercilessly thrown into the trash can.

Two minutes later, the originally bulging backpack was thrown to the ground, only half of the contents remained, deflated like a punctured balloon.

Chen Ju was so distressed that he could bleed. These things were bought by him little by little, and now they are thrown into the trash can like a rag.

Reluctantly turning his eyes away from the trash can, Chen Ju comforted himself not to think about it, and threw them all away. Jiang Zhou didn't like these things, and it was really ugly to put them in that bright room.

As soon as he raised his head, Chen Ju gasped for breath, and Jiang Zhou was actually holding a bag of Christmas gloves in his hand.

"This, I bought this!" Chen Ju stretched out his hand to get the bag, but this time Jiang Zhou was experienced, so he stretched his hand up, but he didn't succeed.

"What is it that you don't want me to see so much?" Jiang Zhou raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Chen Ju began to stammer nervously, not knowing what to say, and couldn't say a word.

Without waiting for Chen Ju to finish speaking, Jiang Zhou opened the bag and took out the contents, a fancy Christmas glove. Seeing this, his face turned cold, he stared at the Christmas glove in his hand, and said, "You still have some money to buy?"A Christmas gift? So childish, who are you going to give it to?"

Chen Ju's cheeks were hot, she lowered her head, stared at her shoes, curled up her fingers, clutched the hem of the clothes, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, it's for you."

Hearing the man's words, the expression on Jiang Zhou's face was stupefied for a moment. He let go of the hand that was holding the glove tightly. He turned his head to look at Chen Ju who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows and said, "For me?"

Chen Ju nodded, and then said: "Sorry, I, I don't know if you don't like this, you, give it back to me."

As he said that, he reached out to get the glove, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, Jiang Zhou took advantage of his height again, and the glove was held high.

"Is there any reason to return gifts given to others?" Jiang Zhou grabbed Chen Ju's restless hand and lowered his eyes.

Jiang Zhou's eyes were completely different from those just now. For some reason, Chen Ju thought of what the uncles said yesterday, and the tips of his ears immediately turned red and dripped blood.

He lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Secretary Liu said that you don't like this kind of thing. I originally planned to go and change it to another one."

"There's no need to change it," Jiang Zhou put the gloves back into the bag, and glanced at his watch, "There are still twenty minutes to half past nine, you don't go to work today?"

"Ah," Chen Ju's eyes widened, he actually forgot to go to work, "Go to work! Me, I'm leaving first!"

Turning around and taking two steps, the back collar was grabbed, and Jiang Zhou carried him back.

"Are you leaving like this?" A trace of displeasure flashed in Jiang Zhou's eyes.

Chen Ju hurriedly said: "There is a bus at the door..."

Before he finished speaking, the schoolbag was stuffed into his arms, and Jiang Zhou walked in front of him.

"If you don't want to be late, follow up."

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, realizing that Jiang Zhou was going to see him off, and immediately trotted to follow, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

On the way, he couldn't help but peeked at Jiang Zhou several times, and when he didn't know how many times he looked over, he met Jiang Zhou's eyes.

"What are you looking at? My face is so pretty?" Jiang Zhou said in a deep voice, the expression on his face was obscure, and no emotion could be seen.

"Looks good!" Chen Ju blurted out, before realizing it, she hurriedly covered her mouth, Jiang Zhou didn't like others to say that she was good-looking.

A chuckle sounded in the quiet carriage. don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Ju actually saw Jiang Zhou laughing. It was very short, and then he returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Is there anything funny about it?Or is it him who is funny?Chen Ju didn't know, but his heart was beating wildly, as if a small drum was beating.

It took ten minutes to drive to the entrance of the shopping mall. When getting out of the car, Chen Ju glanced at the bag in front of the car again, and said in a low voice, "Do you really want me to change it?"

Jiang Zhou frowned, and said coldly: "It's all the same, how can your aesthetics be better?"

"Oh, then I'm going to work." Chen Ju lowered her head, closed the car door, and obediently walked towards the entrance of the shopping mall. After taking two steps, she stopped and ran back again, laying down by the car window, blushing and saying, "Jiang Zhou, thank you, next time I will definitely, will, and will choose a gift that you like."

After Chen Ju finished speaking, he bowed seriously, and then trotted towards the entrance of the shopping mall.

Until Chen Ju's back disappeared at the door, the indifferent expression on Jiang Zhou's face fluctuated a bit. He looked away and looked at the bag in front of the car. The corner of his mouth raised an arc that was difficult to ignore, and then he tensed and lowered his voice.Said: "What an idiot."

Stop talking about my wife

Although today is off, there is an important meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon. Secretary Liu yawned and got out of the quilt. After washing up, he put on a serious suit and stood in front of the mirror, taking care of his rough natural curls.Neat, secured with hairspray, and silver-rimmed glasses.

Well, resurrected with full blood, the first stop, take a taxi to the boss's house.

He politely knocked on the door three times, waited for a few seconds, continued to knock three times, and repeated this three times. The door finally opened. Jiang Zhou opened the door and turned around to go in. Secretary Liu followed in with a wink and closed the door.

"Boss, there is a meeting at five o'clock, and the information of the participants is here." Secretary Liu put on his shoes, took out the documents printed at home from his briefcase, and walked to the dining table.

Jiang Zhou was wearing a white shirt and a black suit vest. The suit jacket was draped over a chair beside him. He drank coffee and said lightly, "Just put it on the side."

"Okay." Secretary Liu put the documents on the table. When he got up, he saw a cute gift bag beside Jiang Zhou's hand., he suddenly remembered.

This is a gift glove bought by Chen Ju. Didn't you remind him that the boss doesn't like it?How would it appear here.

Secretary Liu was thinking about it when he suddenly felt something was wrong with the aura around him. He paused and turned his head slowly, meeting Jiang Zhou's eyes.

Jiang Zhou leaned on the chair, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the smile didn't reach his eyes. Secretary Liu couldn't help but shuddered, and laughed twice, and said, "Does the boss have any orders?"

"Secretary Liu, have you been handy at work recently?" Jiang Zhou narrowed his eyes and said leisurely.

Secretary Liu felt that something was wrong, and said with a guilty conscience, "It's okay, it's okay."

Jiang Zhou tapped lightly on the table with his slender fingers, and said, "I don't think so? I don't remember asking you to call Chen Ju over at the hotel last time."

Secretary Liu was sweating profusely. Is this called after the fall?

"Let's not talk about this for now," Jiang Zhou reached for the gift bag and played with it in his hand. He didn't look at Secretary Liu, but Secretary Liu still felt a strong sense of oppression. "What is he going to buy in the future?", you talk less to me."

"Yes!" Secretary Liu replied immediately, his voice was louder than it was during military training.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!"

Chen Ju opened his eyes suddenly, and the face of the square-faced uncle came into view. The uncle joked, "Did you become a thief last night? Why are you so sleepy? You can fall asleep standing up."

Chen Ju rubbed her eyes embarrassingly, and said, "No, no, I've been playing with my phone for too long."

"Young people should play less with their mobile phones," the square-faced uncle slapped Chen Ju on the shoulder, "Go back to the security room and sleep for a while, I'll watch over here."

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy anymore." Chen Ju hurriedly said, in order to prove himself, he widened his eyes, which were round even more.

The square-faced uncle was amused and laughed, and said, "Okay, go back and rest if you're sleepy. By the way, did your girlfriend like the gift you bought yesterday?"

Hearing the word girlfriend, Chen Ju's drowsiness dissipated completely, and his pointed ears became pink and tender again. He lowered his eyes, grabbed the buttons of his uniform, and stammered: "He,He probably didn't like it."

"Don't like it? The little girl should like it all, so did you take it back and change it?" The square-faced uncle said in surprise, "Change it to something she likes."

Chen Ju shook his head, disappointed and said: "He took it away, so he won't give me a replacement."

"Hey," said the square-faced uncle with a smile, "The little girl is reserved, and she likes to be ashamed to say it."

"Really?" Chen Ju stood up, his eyes lit up with anticipation.

"Of course it is true! Otherwise, do you think she will wear it? Isn't Christmas coming soon?" The square-faced uncle is very keen on giving ideas, "You ask her out to play some night!"

Thinking of Jiang Zhou's face, Chen Ju quickly waved his hands: "Also, let's forget it, he is very busy."

Having said that, Chen Ju kept thinking about what the uncle said in the next work, and secretly checked which day Christmas was, which happened to be next Wednesday, which was his day off.

If, if Jiang Zhou wasn't busy, he might be able to ask.

Soon it was time to get off work, Chen Ju changed his clothes, went to the entrance of the shopping mall and subconsciously looked towards the side of the road, and the familiar black car was parked there.

Chen Ju's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, and he trotted towards the car.

"Mr. Chen, good evening." Secretary Liu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, greeted him with a smile.

Chen Ju stopped, and subconsciously looked towards the back seat of the car. There was no Jiang Zhou, the joyful mood just disappeared, and his chest became empty.

"Hello, Secretary Liu." Chen Ju nodded, obediently opened the car door and sat in.

Secretary Liu saw the disappointed expression on Chen Ju's face through the rearview mirror, and said, "The boss has something to do temporarily. He will be on a business trip for a week, and he will be back next Thursday."

Next Thursday, isn't that already Christmas?Chen Ju clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, lowered her head, and struggled with the decision made all afternoon, which instantly lost its meaning.

Secretary Liu sent Chen Ju to his residence this time, and he was relieved to see him enter the house.

"Auntie's meal is ready, it should still be hot now, if you need anything, just call me." Secretary Liu said.

Chen Ju nodded and watched Secretary Liu leave. He stood restrainedly at the entrance. Without Jiang Zhou, the room became extremely empty.

Putting on fluffy slippers, Chen Ju was like a thief, not daring to touch anything, walking on tiptoe, not daring to make a sound.

As expected, there were hot dishes on the dining table, and her otherwise healthy stomach started to growl. Chen Ju had always been very interested in eating, so she immediately forgot the mood just now, and sat down at the dining table to eat with relish.

After eating, Chen Ju rubbed his full stomach, looked at the empty room, and felt that everything was like a dream. When he woke up, he was still nestled in that small rental room.

Maybe, he didn't meet Jiang Zhou at the class reunion at all?

Chen Ju pinched his cheek, it hurt so much, it didn't look like a dream, thinking of this, his mood improved again, he packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Jiang Zhou is right, there is everything here, there are two toothbrushes and tooth bowls in the bathroom, two bath towels and bathrobes, and two cups for drinking water, Chen Ju recognized it at a glanceMy own cup, because a small orange is printed on one side of the cup.

Looking at the little oranges on the glass, Chen Ju suddenly wanted to call Jiang Zhou, but what are you talking about?I already said thank you this morning, if disturb Jiang Zhou's work... Forget it, let's talk about it when he comes back.

I want to thank him for living in such a nice house for me, thank you for buying him slippers, toothbrush, toothbrush, toothbrush, towel and cup, and...

Thinking about it, Chen Ju yawned, his eyelids became heavier and heavier and finally closed, he hugged the pillow and fell asleep on the small sofa.

What do you do if you meet your wife dancing at a bar?

Jiang Zhou came out of the meeting room and strode towards the office. A secretary followed and reported on the outside affairs during the meeting.

"Boss, there were three calls just now, two of which were answered by the sales consultant of the partner, and one call was made to the boss's private computer."

"Well, I see, just ask the sales consultant to come in later and report the situation to me." Jiang Zhou took off his coat and threw it on the sofa beside him, pulled out the chair and sat down, loosened his tie, and closed his eyes, "Needless to say, those who call my mobile phone in the future have nothing to do with work."

"Okay, I just said it because I saw that the boss had remarked that number. I won't do it next time, boss." The secretary said quickly.

Jiang Zhou paused, opened his eyelids slightly, and said, "What note?"

"Little Orange." The little secretary was terrified. He had only been on the job for a few days, and he was about to face the big boss at the headquarters. He was afraid that he would do something wrong.

"Take it here." Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand.

The little secretary froze for a moment, and quickly handed over Jiang Zhou's cell phone with both hands.

"You can go out now." Jiang Zhou took the phone and said coldly.

The little secretary was relieved and left the office as if fleeing.

When turned on the phone, besides a missed call, there was also a text message. When clicked on it, there was only a short sentence: Jiang Zhou, Merry Christmas.

Jiang Zhou frowned and looked at the calendar. It turned out that it was already Christmas.

After staring at the line for a moment, he threw the phone on the table, closed his eyes again, and leaned back in the chair.

It's just a children's festival, what an idiot.

Chen Ju didn't know how many times he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The text messages and calls were all empty, and his mood also became empty.

It was hard to have a day off today, but didn't want to do anything. Suddenly, the phone rang, and Chen Ju hurriedly sat up from the sofa, and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Chen Ju, Xiao Xing asked for leave tonight, can you cover his shift? Come from seven o'clock and you can get off work at twelve o'clock." The caller was the manager, not Jiang Zhou.

"Okay, I'll come." After hanging up the phone, Chen Ju fell back on the sofa.

Since Jiang Zhou was on a business trip, the two hadn't been in touch again. Chen Ju knew that Jiang Zhou was very busy, and that they were only in a contractual relationship, so there was no need to call every day. It was the frequent meeting some time ago that gave him the illusion.

And it was clearly stated in the contract that the life of the other party should not be disturbed during the non-acting period, so Chen Ju endured it all night, and still couldn't help calling in the morning. He really missed Jiang Zhou, so he just listened to the voice.

But the phone was not connected, so had to send a text message of blessing.

After the mood calmed down, Chen Ju began to struggle. On the one hand, he was annoyed that he shouldn't be so impulsive. What if Jiang Zhou was unhappy?But on the other hand, he was secretly waiting for Jiang Zhou's call back.

Just like that, Jiang Zhou didn't even make a phone call or message until before going to work.

Before going to work, Chen Ju took one last look at her phone and locked it in the closet.

There was still no response from the other side of the phone, and the faint blue screen light was reflected in the man's eyes, revealing strands of chill.

"Hey, why is Young Master Jiang so nice?" Liu Shengyue swayed over with a small bag on the sky, and looked at Jiang Zhou jokingly, "I rushed back with just one phone call. People who don't know think thatHow much do you love me~"

Jiang Zhou took back his cell phone, looked up at Liu Shengyue, ignored her jokes, and said, "I'll be back after work, what kind of dress are you wearing?"

"Recently, I've been in a sexy style." Liu Shengyue shook his long hair seriously, and stretched out his slender hands, "Boyfriend, it's done."

Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand without a trace of expression, and said coldly, "Hold it yourself."

"Hey, aren't you too unmannered like this?" Liu Shengyue took Jiang Zhou's arm and walked into the bar, "By the way, today is Christmas, where was the cutie from last time? Why didn't you go with him?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "It's just Christmas, why do I have to be with him?"

Liu Shengyue was stunned, looked at Jiang Zhou in amazement, sized him up and down, and said, "I can't see it, when this big iceberg, Young Master Jiang, is so excited, it seems that the little cutie is very magical~"

Jiang Zhou stopped, looked at Liu Shengyue coldly, and said, "One more word, I'm leaving."

"Hey, let's stop talking, calm down and be a handsome guy~" Liu Shengyue's face was full of smiles, and he grabbed Jiang Zhou's sleeve and shook it, "You don't know my dad's temper.activities, he will definitely be suspicious."

"Song Qingtan is pretty good," Jiang Zhou said.

The smile on Liu Shengyue's face couldn't hold back anymore, as expected the man held a grudge.

"Okay, I won't talk about the cutie, and you don't want to mention him, how about we get even?"

Jiang Zhou did not speak, but acquiesced.

After ordering two glasses of wine, Liu Shengyue took Jiang Zhou to a place and sat down, then took out his mobile phone, leaned into Jiang Zhou's arms, and said, "Quick, take a selfie, I want to send it to Moments."

Jiang Zhou frowned almost inaudibly, but when facing the camera, the corners of his mouth curled up in a professional smile.

As soon as the photo was taken, the two of them immediately distanced themselves from each other, each doing their own thing. The distance between them was far enough for someone to sit down. Liu Shengyue was looking at the picture beautifully, while Jiang Zhou was leaning on the sofa, drinking wine, and his eyes didn't know.Where to go.

There was a low leaning sound from the corner, and feeling Jiang Zhou's gaze, the man immediately squatted down, moving like a crab towards the back kitchen.

"Brother Qing, what are you doing?" Chen Ju held the wine glass and looked at the lump on the ground in surprise.

Hearing Chen Ju's voice, Li Qing immediately stood up, grabbed his arm, and dragged him behind the wall involuntarily.

"Chen Ju! I just now..." Li Qing's indignant words stopped when he met Chen Ju's innocent eyes, and he couldn't say anything about the scene he saw just now.

Chen Ju is so pure and kind, the last time he saw Jiang Zhou, he thought that man was Chen Ju's true love, and finally someone could protect and cherish him.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a scumbag who can take all men and women. Thinking of this, Li Qing's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help it anymore. He hugged Chen Ju, choked up and said, "I'll help you and the manager take a leave of absence. Today is Christmas."Festival, brother will take you to play."

Chen Ju said embarrassedly: "This, this is not very good, it's very busy tonight."

"It's okay, asking for leave is just a matter of my brother's words!" Li Qing dragged Chen Ju to the private room at the back, where the manager was leaning on the sofa and smoking, and SpongeBob SquarePants was playing on the iPad in front of him.

"What's the matter?" The manager shook the cigarette in his hand, "You two look like you are going to elope."

"Yan Qiu, I'll take Chen Ju out to play and ask him for leave!" Li Qing said bluntly.

Yan Qiu stared at the iPad, waved his hands and said, "Sure, step back, don't disturb me watching the drama."

Chen Ju didn't expect to ask for leave so easily. When she was pulled out by Li Qing, her head was still in a daze.

"Brother Qing, I, I haven't changed my clothes yet." Chen Ju came back to her senses, and was dragged by Li Qing to the dance floor next to the door.

Li Qing took Chen Ju's hand, said with a smile, "I'll change this song after dancing, it's hard work, let's have fun!"

Chen Ju was not used to such a crowded place, so he followed behind Li Qing in a restrained manner, not knowing how to place his hands and feet. Suddenly, he bumped into someone with his back, and he hurriedly turned around and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

That person didn't speak, Chen Ju raised his head suspiciously, and when he saw that person's face, he froze.

Tell me about the next plot development.

Some things happened between the two when they were in high school, so Jiang Zhou misunderstood Chen Ju, and he is a person who doesn't believe in feelings and is extremely clean of emotions, so that's why he is so awkward, and he will grow up later, andHe's a wife spoiler, hehe.

There is another interesting point, Chen Ju is actually naive, he likes Jiang Zhou, but he never expressed hope that Jiang Zhou would respond to him, never thought that the two of them would be together, the reason why he stayed by his side is reallyIt's just for mother, have enough money in the future, so left as soon as said, and then Jiang Zhou was already deeply involved, didn't expect Chen Ju to be so decisive, he vomited blood, hahaha.

Finally, thank you for your support and love, Lili will work hard!

Shura field, jealous

"Hey, wait for me! Didn't you say you don't want to dance? Why are you running to the dance floor like you're crazy?" Liu Shengyue squeezed out from the crowd behind him, reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhou's arm, panting slightly, dissatisfied, "Did you hear me talking to you?"

At this time, she saw Chen Ju standing in front of her in a daze, and Chen Ju also noticed Liu Shengyue and Jiang Zhou's intimately holding hands.

Depend on!Seeing that something was wrong from a distance, Li Qing squeezed over, pulled Chen Ju behind him, blocked Chen Ju's sight with his body, puffed out his chest, glared at Jiang Zhou, and said, "Don't look at Chen Ju, you willEye of the needle!"

After speaking, he turned around and grabbed Chen Ju's shoulders, and walked out of the dance floor: "Let's get out of this damn place!"

"Chen Ju, do you dare to go and try?" Jiang Zhou said, his voice penetrated the loud music, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

As if under a spell, Chen Ju rooted his feet and stopped, unable to take another step forward. The intimate movements of Jiang Zhou and Liu Shengyue were still in front of his eyes. He didn't dare to turn his head and take another look.

Li Qing said angrily: "What is he? Chen Ju, let's go, leave him alone!"

"Come here." Jiang Zhou stretched out his hand, narrowing his eyes dangerously, "I won't say it a second time."

Li Qing still wanted to speak, but his sleeves were pulled lightly, and he lowered his head to meet Chen Ju's warm eyes.

"Thank you Brother Qing, I'm fine." Chen Ju showed a comforting smile, Li Qing paused, retracted what he wanted to say, and put down his hands.

Chen Ju took a deep breath, turned around, obediently walked towards Jiang Zhou, stopped a step away, smiled with her lips pursed, and said, "Miss Liu, Mr. Jiang, good evening."

"Ah," Liu Shengyue came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Good evening, are you coming to the bar too?"

Chen Ju didn't want Jiang Zhou to know that he was working here, so he lowered his eyes and gave a low hum.

"That happens to be crowded, we..." Jiang Zhou interrupted Liu Shengyue before he could finish speaking.

"Why are you talking so much to him?" Jiang Zhou's voice was chilly, "Come out for me."

Chen Ju clenched the hem of his clothes tightly, his throat choked, his eyes became sore, and suddenly his wrist was grabbed, and Jiang Zhou's angry voice came from above: "Didn't you hear me?"

Before he could react, he was pulled out of the dance floor. Jiang Zhou walked very fast, and Chen Ju could only trot and follow behind. He didn't know how long he walked. Jiang Zhou didn't stop until the noise behind him disappeared.

Before Chen Ju could catch his breath, he was suddenly pulled by his collar, and his back was pressed heavily against the wall. Under the dim street light, Jiang Zhou's indifferent eyes were filled with dark tides, staring at him scorchingly.

Subconsciously, fear rose in his heart, he swallowed, and said cautiously: "Miss Liu is still in the bar, is it okay?"

"You still care about others?" Jiang Zhou sneered, separated Chen Ju's legs with his knees, and pressed him against the wall so that he couldn't move. "When I'm not here, go to the bar with other men? Can't tell, you're good at pretending."of."

Chen Ju was stunned, opened her eyes slightly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Qing and I are just friends, and you, you and Miss Liu are dating, we can't..."

"Chen Ju is something you should care about? What do you think you have to do with me?" Jiang Zhou turned cold and squeezed Chen Ju's chin.

There was pain in the chin, and the bones seemed to be broken. Chen Ju resisted the pain, frowned, and said in a low voice: "I, aren't we in a contract relationship?"

Jiang Zhou paused, his eyes turbulent for a while, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly. Suddenly, he sneered, let go of his hand, took a step back, and said condescendingly: "You are right, we are just a contractual relationship, then you should also knowWhat else needs to be done besides being a lover."

Chen Ju leaned against the wall, and the chill spread through his back to his whole body. He looked at Jiang Zhou blankly and helplessly, like a prisoner waiting for trial.

"You should understand that there is no free lunch in the world. I can't give you such a generous reward for no reason." Jiang Zhou said coldly, as if he didn't see the man's ugly face.

Chen Ju's face was pale. In just a week, he had lost some weight, and his thin shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

Even though wear a lot, why is it so cold? Is it because it's going to snow?

Cheerful Christmas songs came from the shopping mall in the distance, and the melodious and festive music floated in this dim and narrow alley with the cold wind.

"I see." Chen Ju squeezed out trembling words from his dry throat, but just four words exhausted all his strength.

With a bang, the door was slammed shut, and Chen Ju was picked up and sat on the shoe cabinet. Jiang Zhou pulled off his tie with one hand, and touched Chen Ju's clothes with the other hand. The man's skin was smooth and delicate, and it felt verygood.

Chen Ju was as stiff as a piece of wood. He closed his eyes and did not dare to move. Suddenly, there was a stabbing pain in his neck. He opened his eyes and met Shang Jiangzhou's angry eyes.

"Concentrate on me," Jiang Zhou said coldly, "Hold me."

Chen Ju's cheeks flushed, and she hugged Jiang Zhou's back obediently. The next second, her body was suspended in the air. Jiang Zhou supported his hips, picked him up and walked towards the bedroom.

It hurts, it hurts, it turns out that doing such a thing is not comfortable at all.

Even though Jiang Zhou took measures, because Chen Ju was the first time and had no experience, he couldn't feel any comfort at all, only dull pain.

There is no tenderness, no kissing, and it is completely different from the scene Chen Ju imagined. During her youth in high school, Chen Ju thought about what kind of scene it would be like to have this incident with Jiang Zhou more than once. It must be very warm and comfortable.Like in the movie, two people kiss, interlock their fingers, and then embrace each other, feeling each other's warmth.

But the reality is so cold, Jiang Zhou didn't even take off his clothes, only his shirt and trousers were wrinkled, and he lay naked on the bed.

At this moment, Chen Ju really felt that the relationship between him and Jiang Zhou was just a contract. He sold himself to Jiang Zhou like an object in exchange for the money he needed.

The man under him didn't move, only his body was still trembling slightly, and when his fingers touched him, he curled up like a frightened mimosa.

Jiang Zhou's eyes were dark, and he turned the man's body over. The man's eyes were tightly closed, his face was full of tears, and his thick eyelashes were rolled up moistly, which was very pitiful.

It was so useless, passed out after just over an hour.

Jiang Zhou reached out to wipe away the tears on the man's face, leaned closer, and a kiss landed on the man's lips. The man's lips were fleshier than his body, soft, like jelly, and could not be removed once touched.

"It hurts, don't..." Chen Ju babbled, and pitifully wanted to push Jiang Zhou away, but his wrist was caught and he couldn't break free, which instead aroused Jiang Zhou's lust and deepened the kiss.

Waking up again was woken up by the alarm clock. Chen Ju opened his eyes and wanted to sit up, but there was an unspeakable soreness in his waist and that area. The memory of last night gradually emerged in his mind, and his face immediately turned red.

It was like a dream that he actually did that thing with Jiang Zhou.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, Chen Ju came back from his thoughts, and shouted to come in, the hoarse voice from his throat startled him.

The door opened, and it was the cleaning lady. She stood at the door and smiled, "Mr. Chen, breakfast is ready, do you want to eat now?"

Chen Ju paused, and whispered, "Jiang Zhou, is he gone?"

"Master Jiang left early in the morning," said the aunt.

"Oh," Chen Ju lowered her eyes in frustration, and said weakly, "I'll wait a while, go out to eat, auntie, go back first."

Holding his waist, he struggled to move from the bed to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his teeth. When he looked in the mirror, Chen Ju found a small cut in the corner of his mouth, as if he had been bitten by something. No wonder he felt pain when he brushed his teeth.Be careful to bite it.

After breakfast, Chen Ju went to work. He felt very uncomfortable. He was groggy all day long and his body was sore. Fortunately, the uncles were all well. Seeing that he was tired, he was not asked to go out on patrol most of the time.

After finally getting off work, Chen Ju dragged his exhausted body back to the residence, fell asleep on the sofa.

I don't know how long slept. In the haze, Chen Ju felt something biting on his lips, like a small ant. There was also a sore, swollen pain that was unspeakable. He slowly opened his eyes and took a look.A handsome face came into view.

"Are you awake? Don't move around." Jiang Zhou grabbed the inside of Chen Ju's knee and suddenly increased his strength.

Chen Ju's eyes widened suddenly, his drowsiness was dissipated by the pain, his stomach seemed to be squeezed, a feeling of nausea came up along with the pain, he grabbed Jiang Zhou's sleeve in fear, and said in a panic: "Jiang, Jiang Zhou,Stop...it hurts..."

"Shut up." Jiang Zhou covered Chen Ju's mouth impatiently, and continued his actions, regardless of Chen Ju's feelings.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu whoo..." Chen Ju's round eyes were full of tears, rolling down one after another like beads with a broken threadCome.

Finally, Jiang Zhou couldn't bear it any longer, stopped his movements, got up and straightened his clothes, and said coldly, "Why are you crying? Isn't this what the contract relationship is for? I thought you already knew."

Chen Ju grabbed the only shirt left on her body, curled herself into a small ball, bit her lip, tried hard not to make a sound, but tears fell down uncontrollably.

With a bang, the door closed, Jiang Zhou left, and Chen Ju was left alone in the room. The sobbing sound in his throat was like a tide, and he couldn't bear it anymore, spreading out and filling the cold and empty room.

Bar changing room.

The clothes from yesterday were still in the dressing room. After opening the closet and changing into the uniform, Chen Ju took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a text message to Li Qing to tell him that he was fine. When he turned on the mobile phone, he found that there were more than 30 missed calls. It was Li Qing who called.here.

Chen Ju was about to call to report that she was safe, but suddenly remembered her current voice, so she chose to send a text message.

After sending the text message, he accidentally clicked on the call record again, and the page scrolled down one page, so Jiang Zhou's name occupied the entire screen, and Chen Ju was stunned.

Hanging out with other men at night?

It turned out that Jiang Zhou called him so many times that night, and he quickly opened the text message. Jiang Zhou replied to the message he sent yesterday.

"Well, go back tonight, don't run around for me." The time was 7:20 last night, suddenly, the eye sockets began to heat up, Chen Ju stared at the line, and quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

Did Jiang Zhou come back to see him last night?No, it shouldn't be. must come back and spend Christmas with Ms. Liu.

The pain in the body seemed to spread deeper, Chen Ju took a deep breath, closed the closet, tidied up his clothes, and started to work.

Finally got off work, when Chen Ju was changing clothes, suddenly his eyes blurred, and he fell backwards, the next moment his waist was embraced, a pleasant smell of perfume mixed with a faint smell of tobacco wafted in, Chen Ju regained his composure,His vision returned to clarity, and the person supporting him behind him was Manager Yan.

"Why do you look so ugly tonight?" Yan Qiu frowned and asked, "Don't force yourself when you're not feeling well."

Chen Ju quickly stood up straight, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you manager, I'm fine, but I didn't sleep well last night."

Yan Qiu looked Chen Ju up and down, his gaze stayed on the corner of Chen Ju's mouth for a moment, and he said, "Go back and rest early, if you can't come tomorrow, it's okay."

"You can come!" Chen Ju hurriedly said, pulled herself together, and said seriously, "I'm really fine!"

Yan Qiu looked deeply at Chen Ju for a few seconds, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "It's fine, go back and have a good rest."

"En." Chen Ju nodded obediently.

The bar is very close to Jiang Zhou's residence, and it takes only ten minutes to walk there. It's only six o'clock, and can sleep for two and a half hours when go back, catch up on sleep, and then take the bus to the mall to go to work.

The winter morning came late, the sky was not yet bright at six o'clock, and there was a faint light on the horizon. Chen Ju suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked towards the direction of the mental hospital for a long time before slowly looking away.

Breathing into the palms of his hands, rubbing his hands that were red with cold, Chen Ju entered the unit building..

After pressing the code, there was a beep, and the door opened. As soon as Chen Ju entered the room, he was enveloped in warmth. He was stunned. When he was alone, he never turned on the air conditioner, because he was afraid of wasting electricity bills.Zhou's house is enough trouble for him, and he saves everything else as much as possible.

Clap, the lights turned on, the room brightened up, a pair of high-end leather shoes came into view, Chen Ju froze, Jiang Zhou came back?

"Just came back?" A cold voice sounded, even a bit colder than the air outside the house. Chen Ju raised his head, and Jiang Zhou sat on the sofa with his coat off and a white shirt wrapped around his muscular body.

"Jiang Zhou, morning, morning." Chen Ju changed the subject awkwardly, he didn't want Jiang Zhou to know that he had gone to work in the bar.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhou stood up, and Chen Ju reflexively took a step back, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly.

Jiang Zhou walked up to Chen Ju step by step. As soon as he stopped, his eyes turned cold. He grabbed the man's arm and pulled him towards him. He bent down to get closer, and his breath smelled of strange perfume mixed with tobacco.

"Who?" Jiang Zhou grabbed Chen Ju harder, as if he wanted to crush his bones, and there was a slight chill in his dark eyes, "Which man did you go out with again?"

"Jiang Zhou, it hurts..." Chen Ju struggled, trying to push Jiang Zhou away, but his action angered the man again, and the next second, he was dragged and walked towards the bedroom.

Seeing the big bed, the memories of yesterday immediately came to mind, Chen Ju's face turned pale, he stepped back, shook his head, and said in fear: "Jiang Zhou, don't, don't do this..."

Jiang Zhou didn't seem to hear it, and threw Chen Ju onto the bed without the slightest pity. The dizzying impact made Chen Ju's eyes blur.

Chen Ju stared at Jiang Zhou in a daze, his body trembled uncontrollably, and there was a dull pain in an unspeakable place, nausea and discomfort appeared in his stomach, he clenched the quilt under his body, and his face was miserable.

Seeing Chen Ju's face, Jiang Zhou stopped his movements and looked down at the man below him. After a while, he put down his hand to unbutton the button and said, "Since you don't like doing this kind of thing, our contract ends here."Bar."

Chen Ju opened his eyes wide, and too many emotions flashed in his eyes for a moment, and finally he knelt up from the bed as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream, and grabbed Jiang Zhou's sleeve in a panic.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhou turned cold, his eyes contemptuous, "Let go, I think things touched by others are dirty."

Chen Ju's face was pale, and there was not even a trace of blood on his lips. His fingers tightly grasped Jiang Zhou's clothes, as if grasping the last straw.

"Please, no, don't end the contract, I can, can do, anything!" Chen Ju's voice trembled, and the extreme fear made his stomach throb, but he couldn't care about these things, onlyOne thought: He couldn't let Jiang Zhou end his contract.

But Jiang Zhou still cruelly pulled Chen Ju's hand away. Just as he pulled it away, Chen Ju grabbed him again. He frowned and said coldly, "Let go."

The next moment, there was warmth in his waist, Jiang Zhou stopped, lowered his eyes, Chen Ju hugged him tightly, the man's body was thin and thin, as cold as a lifeless creature.

"Don't go, I don't like it, anything, anything..." Chen Ju's body was trembling, and he hugged Jiang Zhou tightly with his only consciousness.

Jiang Zhou cannot be let go, something must be done to save him, only in this way can he have a chance to pick up his mother.

He can do anything for his mother.

Jiang Zhou stared at the trembling man in his arms, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Anything is fine? Okay, take off your clothes."

Chen Ju's body shook, and after a few seconds, he slowly let go of his hands. He knelt down on the bed with his head lowered, and he could see his red eye ends and wet eyelashes from a top-down angle.

Adam's apple rolling, swallowing bitter emotions, Chen Ju stretched out his trembling hands, and unzipped his clothes. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he didn't wear clothes with buttons, because his trembling hands couldn't undo a single button.

This time, Jiang Zhou was very patient, without urging, and quietly waited for Chen Ju to finish taking off his clothes, as if enjoying a performance.

The air conditioner was turned on in the room, but Chen Ju still felt cold, his skin was exposed to the air, causing tiny bumps, and he lowered his head, like a dish on the table, waiting to be tasted.

Jiang Zhou didn't speak, just stood there so quietly, waited for a long time, Chen Ju finally couldn't hold back, raised his head, when his eyes met those eyes, his body seemed to be electrified, and there was a burst of numbness.Spread from the spine to the whole body.

"Do you need me to remind you next step?" Jiang Zhou half-closed his eyes, opened the chair beside him and sat down, unbuttoned his shirt, revealed his sexy muscles, and frowned, "You don't know what to do, do you?"

"I know!" Chen Ju hurriedly said, staggered off the bed, stepped on the floor with both feet, the cold chill pierced the soles of his feet like sharp needles, he ignored it completely, and hurriedly walked in front of Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou leaned lazily on the chair, staring at Chen Ju with burning eyes, but his hands didn't move at all, like a beast waiting for its prey, and said lightly: "Now that I know, this time..."

Chen Ju didn't know what to do at all, but in order to keep Jiang Zhou, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and recall what Jiang Zhou did to him yesterday and the movies he watched,...

At first, Jiang Zhou was calm and complacent, not helping, admiring the man's embarrassment, but Chen Ju was clumsy... He reached out and grabbed the man's arm, preventing his next act of death.

"You want to die, but I don't!" Jiang Zhou gritted his teeth.

Chen Ju saw that Jiang Zhou was angry, and the fear that he had endured for a long time suddenly burst out, his red eyes immediately filled with mist, and the next moment, tears rolled down, he reached out and hugged Jiang Zhou's neck tightly, sobbingSaid: "I'm sorry, Jiang Zhou, don't be angry, I can do anything, anything, anything..."

Jiang Zhou paused, the man was like a frightened little animal, trembling while hugging him tightly, if he hadn't seen the man not coming home at night, with someone else's smell on his body, he would be deceived by such a disguise again.

"Don't cry," Jiang Zhou grabbed Chen Ju's hair, pulled him away from his shoulders, looked at the man's face wrinkled with tears, Jiang Zhou's eyes darkened, and said in a low voice"It's so ugly" and then kissed her.

Kissing and kissing, and thinking of returning to the empty room at night, a chill flashed in Jiang Zhou's eyes, and he bit the tip of the man's tongue punishingly. Hearing the man's painful grunt, he calmed down a little, supported the man, and stood up.Get up and walk towards the bed.

After the end, Jiang Zhou was fully dressed, while Chen Ju was trembling all over, curled up on the bed in embarrassment, like a dishcloth that was thrown away after use.

Jiang Zhou fastened his tie, looked at Chen Ju on the bed, and said coldly: "If I find out that you go out to find someone else again, the contract will end immediately. I don't like people touching my things."

Chen Ju hadn't recovered yet, his consciousness was between sober and confused, Jiang Zhou's words seemed to come from far away, before he could hear clearly, there was a bang, the door was closed, and Jiang Zhou leftup.

He opened his eyes again because he was woken up by the alarm clock. Chen Ju opened his eyes with difficulty, moving a finger, all the muscles and bones in his body were clamoring, pain and exhaustion filled his body.

It hurts so much, I'm so tired, I don't want to do anything, I just want to lie down like this and sleep forever, but I still have to work, I can't be late, my salary will be deducted if I am late, so I have to get up immediately.

After a delay of about ten minutes, Chen Ju forced himself to sit up from the bed. He had to change quickly and catch the bus at 9:10, otherwise he would be late for work.

Chen Ju stood up reluctantly, his eyes went black for a while, he fell back, and regained consciousness, five minutes had passed.

Fainted, Jiang Zhou rushed to the hospital

No matter how slow it was, it would really be impossible to catch the bus. Chen Ju gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, stood up from the bed, and went to the bedroom.

His clothes were neatly folded in the bag and placed in the corner of the bedroom. It was already 9:05 after changing. Chen Ju took out a board of pills in the bag, mixed two pills with cold water, and then changedShoes, leaning on the wall, staggered towards the elevator entrance.

He finally arrived at the security room, and as soon as he entered the door, the square-faced man let out an exclamation and came up to him.

"Xiao Chen! What's wrong with you? You look so ugly!"

Chen Ju pursed her lips, forced a smile, and said, "It's nothing, it should be a cold, it's not healed yet."

"That's no good, you sit for me, and my manager will ask you for leave." The square-faced uncle grabbed Chen Ju's arm, pulled him in without any explanation, pushed him onto the chair and sat down.

"Uncle really doesn't need it!" Seeing that the uncle was about to go out, Chen Ju hurriedly grabbed the uncle's sleeve, pulled himself together and said, "I went to the hospital last night, and the doctor said that as long as you take the medicine, you will be fine."

The uncle stared at Chen Ju for a while, sighed, rubbed Chen Ju's hair, and said, "Okay, don't run around today, tell us if you feel uncomfortable, do you understand?"

It has been many years since no one rubbed his hair like this. Chen Ju's eyes were slightly hot. He lowered his head, nodded obediently, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, uncle."

The painkillers took effect, and although the body could no longer feel the pain, it was still limp and weak.

After resting in the security room for a while, Chen Ju followed the team to patrol the shopping mall. The distance was very short, but now it became very far away. After patrolling the first floor, Chen Ju's back was covered in cold sweat, his footsteps were weak, and his vision blurred for a while.It was clear for a while, he stopped at the door of a shop, wanting to relax for a while.

Suddenly two children ran over playing and playing, Chen Ju's ears were buzzing, as if someone was calling him, raised his head, and in his blurred vision, he could only see uncles with square faces and pointed faces running towards this side.

The next moment, the little boy bumped into him, and Chen Ju subconsciously wanted to reach out to help the little boy, but his body was out of his control, and he swayed and fell to the side, and his consciousness became dark.

Chen Ju fainted, and fell heavily on the ground, and the surroundings were full of noise in an instant.

"Chen Ju!" The square-faced uncle ran over and helped Chen Ju up, "Call someone over!"

There was a lot of noise at the entrance of the shop. The children were so frightened that they cried loudly. Chen Ju's face was as pale as paper, and she lay motionless in the arms of the square-faced uncle, as if she had lost her life.

The manager quickly brought people over, carried Chen Ju on a stretcher, and sent him to the ambulance. In the car, the medical staff checked Chen Ju's condition and said with a serious face: "The patient's condition is a bit serious, and he may need to be hospitalized.", can his family be contacted?"

"Okay, I have a contact number here!" The manager thought that he had saved Jiang Zhou's number, and called it immediately.

The first thing Secretary Liu did when he entered the company was to go to the office to organize the documents on the table. He opened the door humming a song as usual, but he saw Jiang Zhou who couldn't have appeared here so early.

"Boss, aren't you coming in the morning?" Secretary Liu looked surprised. Jiang Zhou didn't know what happened yesterday. He finished the work in the morning until two or three o'clock all night, and sent him a text message, saying that he would not come until the afternoon.

Jiang Zhou didn't sleep all night, closed his eyes, and leaned on a chair, even on the sofa, as soon as he fell asleep, he would dream of that man's crying face.

"Tsk," Jiang Zhou frowned unhappily, raised his eyes and said, "It's nothing, you can go out first, there is no need to clean up here."

"Oh, okay." Secretary Liu exited respectfully and closed the door softly.

After the door was closed, the original silence returned to the office, until the faint sobs of the man could be heard faintly in the ear, and the warm touch of the man seemed to remain on the neck, and the two thin and soft arms hugged him tightly., even with tears rubbing to the neck.

Jiang Zhou raised his hand and touched the skin unconsciously with his fingers, as if the man's tears were still on it. Suddenly, the phone rang, interrupting the lingering thoughts. He put down his hand and frowned displeasedly.

It was an unfamiliar number. Jiang Zhou hesitated for a few seconds, pressed the answer button, and said in a deep voice, "Hello, who is it?"

A strange man's voice sounded on the phone, sounding very anxious: "Hello, is this Young Master Jiang? We met. I'm your brother's manager. Something happened to Xiao Chen. Are you free now?"Come on..."

Jiang Zhou interrupted the manager before he finished speaking. His face was gloomy, and he raised his voice: "What happened to him? Where is he now?"

"Xiao Chen fainted while patrolling the mall, and we are rushing to the central hospital now." The manager said hastily.

Jiang Zhou froze for a moment, then frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I see, please take care of him first, I'll be there soon."

I don’t know why Jiang Zhou’s mood these two days, he is irritable, and he will show his face when something happens. You must know that this is something he has never seen since he joined the company. Even if something bad happened in the past, Jiang Zhou always smiled., solve it quickly and accurately, without leaving a little ground for others, so no one in the company does not say that Jiang Zhou is handsome and has a good temper.

Could it be because of that Chen Ju?Secretary Liu was thinking. Suddenly, the door of the office opened with a bang, and Jiang Zhou walked out quickly.

"Boss, what happened?" Secretary Liu asked quickly.

Jiang Zhou stopped, holding the phone in his hand, and turned his head to look at it. At that moment, Secretary Liu was startled by Jiang Zhou's eyes. It was something he had never seen before, and it was mixed with too many things.Not sure if it's worry or what.

"Take the key and follow me to the hospital." After Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he strode towards the elevator.

Secretary Liu took the car keys and hurriedly followed.

The car was speeding on the road, Jiang Zhou was leaning on the back seat, his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was dark, he stared out the window, and before he left, the pale man curled up on the bed appeared in front of him.

He didn't expect that men would look like this and still be able to go to work.

As soon as the car arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Jiang Zhou opened the door and walked towards the entrance of the hospital. Secretary Liu looked at Jiang Zhou's back and saw a trace of panic in it. A certain person's face flashed in his mind.Is it Mr. Chen?Except for Mr. Chen's matter, he had never seen Jiang Zhou so anxious.

"Master Jiang! This way!" The manager stood at the end of the corridor with his mobile phone and waved to Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou hung up the phone, walked over there, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"The doctor just finished the examination and is in the ward now." The manager said while taking Jiang Zhou to Chen Ju's ward.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, Jiang Zhou stopped suddenly, and he was stunned. Chen Ju lay quietly on the hospital bed, his face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, he just lay there so quietly, like a lifeless doll.

"Hey," the manager said in a low voice, "Xiao Chen has worked too hard for this kid. He has been working for the past few days and his complexion is not very good. I asked him to ask for leave to go back and rest, but he just refused. I didn't expect to leave today.This issue."

Jiang Zhou didn't speak. The manager looked at the time, handed the bag to Jiang Zhou, and said, "I don't worry if you come here. This is Xiao Chen's bag. His things are all in it. I'm going to persuade him these few days.Take a good rest, your body is the most important thing."

"Well, thank you." Jiang Zhou finally recovered his voice and took the schoolbag.

After the manager left, Jiang Zhou walked into the ward step by step. The room was so quiet that only the man's weak breathing could be heard. When he reached the bedside, he looked down at Chen Ju on the bed.

The man frowned tightly. Even in his sleep, the expression on his face looked very painful. Jiang Zhou put the schoolbag on the table beside him, sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand, and stroked the man who was soaked in cold sweat.There are too many unknown emotions surging under the dark eyes.

At this time, the door of the ward opened, and the nurse stood at the door, and said in a low voice, "Is this the patient's family? There are some patients here, and I need to explain to you."

"Well, come right away." Jiang Zhou withdrew his hand, his eyes stayed on Chen Ju's face for a moment, then moved away, got up and left the ward.

In the office, the doctor said with a serious face: "It's not me who said, how did you do it brother, the patient's body is severely malnourished, anemia, chronic gastritis and various underlying diseases, and he still has a low-grade fever. If he doesn't faint today, he will sooner or later."Something big happened one day!"

Jiang Zhou frowned, and immediately picked up a thick stack of reports. The data showed that, as the doctor said, the man's health was extremely poor.

The steamed buns and boiled water that saw in the rental house that day appeared in front of eyes, and the strength in hand couldn't help but increase. It seemed that it was not accidental, the man always ate like that.

"Also, what kind of work does the patient do? The report shows that his body is not only malnourished, but also overworked." The doctor continued.

"He's currently working in the security room of the shopping mall, so the workload shouldn't be that heavy." Jiang Zhou suddenly stopped talking, and he remembered something. That night, when he saw Chen Ju in the bar, what clothes was he wearing?

It looks like a black work uniform.

"Anyway, the patient needs good rest and nutritional supplements now, otherwise his body will collapse soon." The doctor said seriously, "As a brother, you should pay more attention to your brother's situation."

Jiang Zhou lowered his eyes, clenched the report card in his hand, and hummed softly: "I see."

Coming out of the office, Secretary Liu greeted him with a mobile phone in his hand, walked up to Jiang Zhou and said, "Boss, I went to Mr. Chen's ward just now and heard his mobile phone ringing, so I answered it, yesA man's phone call made Mr. Chen not have to go to the bar to work tonight. Boss, do you want to ask what's going on?

Jiang Zhou didn't answer, took the phone directly, opened the address book, and the first entry in the call log showed: Manager Yan.

An idea popped into my mind.

Jiang Zhou clenched his phone tightly, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold.

"Go and hire the best nutritionist." After speaking, Jiang Zhou walked towards the ward.

Happy to know that my wife's first kiss was me

The noisy voice came from afar, and Chen Ju, who was lying on the hospital bed, trembled his eyelashes, then slowly opened his eyes, and saw the white ceiling, white sheets and white curtains.Thick and oppressive.

This is a hospital, why did he come to the hospital?He remembered that he was patrolling the mall, and then he was very unwell, and a little boy bumped into him, and then he was unconscious.

Uncle and the others must have sent him here, no, he has to leave.

Chen Ju immediately sat up from the bed. Because he got up too fast, his eyes blurred for a while. He clenched the bed sheet tightly and recovered after a while, but the pain in his body remained the same.

When she raised her hand, she saw the infusion needle on the back of her hand, and Chen Ju's heart went cold. How much does a bottle of medicine like this cost?Moreover, there is only him in this ward, so it must be more expensive.

If you leave now, you shouldn't be charged too much.

Chen Ju gritted his teeth and pulled out the infusion needle on the back of his hand, lifted the quilt, and wanted to get out of bed, but who knew that just one step away would involve a leg injury, and the pain forced him to sit back on the bed again.

Pulling open the trouser leg, revealing a piece of dark purple skin, it seems that it was hit when he fainted, not only the pain in the leg, but also a dull pain in the waist and unspeakable places.

Suddenly, Chen Ju saw the backpack on the table beside him. He quickly took the bag, unzipped the small zipper, and took out the medicine. In order to keep going to work these days, he had to take two pills every day, and there were only two pills left on the board.It's gone, I'll go outside later, have to go to the pharmacy to buy another box.

Chen Ju took two pills and was about to put them in his mouth when suddenly there was a click, the door opened, and Jiang Zhou in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of him.

He froze for a moment, but before he could react, he saw Jiang Zhou frowning, with anger in his eyes, striding over.

"What are you eating?!" Jiang Zhou hit the medicine in Chen Ju's hand to the ground. He hit hard, and the back of Chen Ju's hand turned red instantly.Clear the words on it: ibuprofen tablets.

Chen Ju covered the back of his hand that was hurt by the beating, and looked at Jiang Zhou with an ugly face in fear, not daring to pick up the medicine that fell on the ground, and said a little aggrieved: "Yes, there are only two left."

Jiang Zhou held the medicine box and remained silent. After a while, he looked up at Chen Ju and asked, "Do you know what medicine this is?"

There was no expression on Jiang Zhou's face, but those eyes made people feel scared. Chen Ju clenched the hem of his clothes tightly and said in a small voice: "I know, it's a painkiller. Take it and it won't hurt."

"I know you still eat?" Jiang Zhou's tone was no longer calm, he stared at Chen Ju with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Eat the whole box? Who told you to eat like this?"

The suddenly raised voice made Chen Ju shrink back in fright, not daring to look at Jiang Zhou for fear that he would beat her up.

"Give it to you, Uncle." Chen Ju stared at his hand. Blood beads appeared from the place where the infusion needle was pulled out. He immediately wiped it off with his fingers and explained, "Very, very useful. I twisted my wrist when I was carrying something before.Just eat this without pain."

In order to convince Jiang Zhou not to be so angry, he continued: "Really, when you have a fever, eat, and you won't have a headache after eating, and, and..."

"Enough, stop talking." Jiang Zhou interrupted Chen Ju's words, his face was gloomy and ugly. Chen Ju took a look, shut his mouth obediently, and didn't dare to say another word.

He walked to the trash can, threw the medicine box into it, and said with a cold face, "Don't eat this again in the future."

"But, but..." If you don't eat it, your body will hurt a lot, and he can't go to the hospital often, the medical bills are too expensive, and he doesn't want to part with it.

"No but, if I found out, you know the consequences." Jiang Zhou said without doubt.

Chen Ju clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, paused for a few seconds, and then nodded.

At this time, Jiang Zhou found the needle hole on the back of Chen Ju's hand and the infusion needle that had been torn apart. He turned cold and stepped forward to grab Chen Ju's hand. He frowned and said, "What did you do again?"

The sudden approach of Jiang Zhou made Chen Ju jump. His body trembled, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously dodged back. The back of his head hit the cabinet behind him, and his face wrinkled up in pain.

Jiang Zhou's eyes were dark, and he rested his other hand on the back of Chen Ju's head, pressed him to his side, and said displeasedly, "You're so stupid, who told you to pull out the infusion needle?"

The big hands on the back of the head were warm and dry, as if they were stroking the painful place just now. Chen Ju finally felt the real pain from waking up to now, and a sour heat surged from the nasal cavity to the eye sockets.

"I'm fine," Chen Ju lowered her eyes, her eyelashes stained with a trace of moisture, "I don't need to be hospitalized."

Jiang Zhou stared at Chen Ju. The man's face was pale, his chin was thin and pointed, and the hospital clothes on his body seemed to be hanging on a shelf, empty.

"If it's because of medical expenses, then you don't have to worry, I'll pay for it." Jiang Zhou said, his voice still cold and clear, as if it was someone else who said the angry words just now.

Chen Ju raised his head, his round eyes were full of surprise and bewilderment, he quickly said: "No, it's fine, I'm really well, no, I don't need to be hospitalized."

"Chen Ju," Jiang Zhou frowned, "I won't say what I said a second time."

"But, it's a lot of money, I, I can't afford it." Chen Ju pursed her lips and said pitifully.

Jiang Zhou paused, and slid his palm along the back of Chen Ju's head to the back of his neck. Then, he pinched it like a kitten, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to pay it back. After all, we signed the contract. During the validity period of the contract,I will be responsible for your health."

Chen Ju clenched the hem of her clothes, pursed her lips and hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly got up and leaned over, kissed Jiang Zhou on the cheek, and said with a blushing face, "Thank you."

He knows that this is not enough, but now in the hospital, his body is still sore because of the indulgence of the past few days, if he does that kind of thing now, he will not be able to bear it, and the painkillers are not given now.

Jiang Zhou did not move for a long time, Chen Ju began to panic, what should do?Is he doing something wrong?Jiang Zhou said that he doesn't kiss people he doesn't like...

"Yes, I'm sorry," Chen Ju hurriedly said, "I didn't kiss my mouth, nor my face, can't I? Next time I won't... eh!"

Jiang Zhou pinched the back of Chen Ju's neck and kissed that chattering mouth.

Chen Ju opened her eyes wide in bewilderment, Jiang Zhou's handsome face was so close that she could see the light brown mole in the corner of Jiang Zhou's eye, thumping, and the sound of her beating heart seemed to be so loud that the whole room could hear it.Chen Ju's pale face changed little by little.
