Chapter 24 Occasionally Like Humans

The Xu family came from a wealthy family, and their two daughters grew up receiving the best education. Xu Wanyi met Sang Zhengbai during college, and the two were like-minded and soon came together.

Later, when it came to marriage, everything went smoothly. The second elders of the Xu family appreciated Sang Zhengbai's talents and helped him a lot on his entrepreneurial journey.

Xu Wanyi is not the woman behind Sang Zhengbai. She prefers to fight side by side with her husband to overcome problems. It can be said that the success of Sang Zhengbai's career is inseparable from the Xu family and Xu Wanyi.

However, with age, having children has become a difficult problem that Xu Wanyi has to face. The birth of the second elder of the Xu family and the anxiety brought about by her age made her finally decide to get pregnant at the age of thirty-five.

give birth

It's a pity that fate is messing with people, and the luck of the first thirty-five years seems to be exhausted overnight. Maybe it was because of the age of giving birth, or it was simply bad luck. One life for another, Xu Wanyi failed to get off the delivery bed in the end. What's more terrible is that misfortunes do not come singly, and Sang Zhengbai's business also had problems at this time.

Most of the people who do business are a little superstitious, perhaps this explains why Sang Zhengbai has always been strict with me but not loving - he can't love this child who has been cruel to his parents since birth.

After the nanny abuse incident, realizing Sang Zhengbai's slack towards me, Xu Xi strongly demanded that my parents take me into the Xu family to take care of me. The original intention was good, but the result was not satisfactory.

After experiencing the pain of losing their daughter in middle age, the health of the two elderly people is not as good as before, and there is no extra energy to spend on me. Plus... Maybe when they see me, they will think of their daughters. In my memory, they are always very sad and hard to smile when they face me. The old lady Xu couldn't even stay with me for too long, or she would cry.

Where did you understand the twists and turns of the adult world when you were a child? The more they hated me, the more I felt that I wasn't doing enough. In order to please them, I redoubled my studies and actively participated in various school activities, just to make them look at me more when I got the honor.

I remember one year when I got the "School Star" award. This award depends not only on the usual grades, but also on the activity participation rate. Only one person in each grade can get it, which is very rare. When I got this award at the end of the term, I was so excited, I went back to Sang's house with the certificate of honor, and then I spent the whole day looking forward to Sang Zhengbai's return home.

It wasn't until late at night that Sang Zhengbai came back from the outside on the phone. I was about to fall asleep waiting, and when I heard the movement, I rushed downstairs and waited nervously at the entrance.

Holding the paper certificate tightly in his hand, the moment he stepped into the door, he mustered up his courage and stepped forward.

"Dad, look, I'm going to be a 'school star'!" I tried my best to restrain my tone so that I didn't look so complacent, but the corners of my lips couldn't come down.

Sang Zhengbai covered the phone and looked down at me.

"Well, not bad." Just swiping the certificate in my hand, he passed me and then talked about business affairs with the person on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, let's continue..."

I spent a semester of hard-earned awards and waited for him all night with drowsiness, but he gave me even a minute.

Maybe I should thank him for not just walking away at a glance, but at least rewarding me with three words. But to be honest, at that time, apart from disappointment, there was no other emotion at all. Looking at his retreating back, for the first time, I clearly realized that there are some things that I can't get no matter how much effort I put in.

The next day I went back to Xu's house, and I was greeted by the same empty and lonely mansion. Only through the workers knew that the second elder of the Xu family had left to visit Xu Xi who was studying abroad a few days ago. They could have told me in advance, but they chose to inform me in the worst possible way.

Growing up, I didn't seem to lack anything, I was extremely wealthy, but I also seemed to lack everything, so poor that I didn't even have a real "home".

The Sang family and the Xu family are just my temporary residence, which is no different from my apartment and the hotel suite. Just as the chicks are hatched and grow up in the nest, the nest is just a place for the chicks to nurture them. On the day they leave the nest, they will not have any nostalgia and will not want to go back again.

There are no curtains in the bubble house, which means that when the sun rises and the first rays of sunlight hit the woods, I am destined to wake up in the harsh sunlight.

Opening his eyes uncomfortably, under the dim light, he saw Ji Chenfeng sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed, facing the direction of the sunrise.

Maybe the bathrobe was soiled last night and could no longer be worn. He changed back to his clothes. He didn't know what time he woke up, but he was sure he had been awake for a while.

The morning sun was brighter than yesterday's setting sun, rising slowly from the horizon, coating him with a warm golden fringe.

I watched him recite the video for a moment and propped himself up from the bed. There was a strange soreness in the thigh muscles, the quilt was lifted, the hem of the shirt, the outside of the legs, near the waist and crotch, the dazzling bruise on the skin was impossible to ignore.

Hearing the movement, Ji Chenfeng moved and looked behind him. I put down the quilt as if nothing had happened, and gave him a lazy smile in the morning after the incident.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

He pointed to a tree above us: "I woke up when I heard the bird call."

I did seem to hear birds chirping when I fell asleep, but because my brain was too tired, it didn't wake me up. If you think about it, this may be one of the culprits behind my intermittent sleep.

"Didn't you pick it last night?" I pointed to my ears.

Since he can hear birdsong, it means he didn't have his cochlear implant removed when he slept last night. But after all, this thing is an electronic device, and it is also worn to sleep, isn't it uncomfortable?

Ji Chenfeng raised his hand and pressed the black instrument on the auricle, and explained, "I brought a spare battery, and the power was sufficient, so I didn't take it off. I don't want to...you can't hear anything when you call me."

His heart beat chaotically as if it was about to explode. Since it was a feeling he had never felt before, he couldn't help but wonder if it was a precursor to sudden death.

Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, this terrible heart palpitations disappeared, and the heart beat in an orderly manner again, and there was no trace of the disorder.

Probably due to lack of sleep. Silently pressed his chest. Looks like it's time for a checkup. I didn't want to die so early, despite the troubles one after the other.

"Call the front desk to bring breakfast, and we'll go back to the city after eating." I got out of bed and stepped on the carpet with only one shirt all over me. After scanning around, I found my neatly folded rest on the sofa. clothing.

Not a veterinarian or a model, he's actually quite suitable for a babysitter. He can cook, has a high education, has a medical background, and has a good temper... There should be many employers who are interested in such a pleasing "little nanny".

Grabbing my pants, I entered the bathroom under Ji Chenfeng's gaze.

Taking off his shirt in front of the mirror, you can clearly see bright hickeys on the neck and collarbone.

The memory in my mind is revived little by little under the stimulation of vision. In the first two "in-depth exchanges", Ji Chenfeng still maintained a basic gentleman's demeanor in front of me. This time, stimulated by the two fixed belts, he completely tore off the coat of civilization, revealing that it was quite in line with him. Outward, savage beast.

In the beginning, it was fine. I unilaterally enjoyed his service. In the dark forest, under the bright starry sky, the experience can be said to be unparalleled.

In view of being too good, almost accidentally knocked off his cochlear implant while stroking his cheeks and earlobes.

As if he had expected it, he grabbed my palm in time and pulled it away from his cheek, and handed it to his water-colored lips.

"Don't touch it again..." He kissed my fingertips softly, and said in a thick, honey-like voice, "I want to hear your voice, any voice."

My fingers were so hot that they almost burned, and I couldn't even tell whether the amazing temperature came from myself or Ji Chenfeng.

"Continue..." The voice was hoarse, I pulled out my fingers, and I pressed the back of his neck, being careful not to touch his ears this time.

My body was slightly warmed by memories, and it would be troublesome to think about it any longer.

I tried to force myself not to look back, but maybe the memory of last night was too fresh, and even if I blocked my vision, I could easily recall it through touch.

As soon as the finger touched the thigh along the water flow of the shower, the corresponding memory jumped out.

After enjoying Ji Chenfeng's service, he originally wanted to lend his hands as he did in the car last time, as a courtesy. However, before touching the corner of his clothes, he was pushed onto the bed by his shoulders.

I thought I was going to do it again, although I was a little tired, but I didn't want to be looked down upon in this regard, so I didn't stop it. There are no problems in the previous steps. Ji Chenfeng took good care of all aspects. Except for the strength in his hands and the fact that he is too keen on my gracilis, there is basically no other fault.

His stance, his long performance made me let go of my guard, and as a result, he was getting ahead. The hand is already a gift to him, but he dared to miss my leg.

Realizing what he was doing with my legs close together, I subconsciously kicked over.

This position, this almost womanizing position... makes me feel sick and humiliated.

The swear words were madly in my heart, but the ankle was accurately grasped by the other party again. During the day, you can't even avoid other people's fists, but now you can catch one.

"Can't you?" Ji Chenfeng knelt at the end of the bed, looked down at me, and asked in a normal tone.

is it not OK?

His chest heaved angrily, wanting to say that this is not obvious, and his brain is damn rational, knowing that if he refused violently at this time, then Ji Chenfeng's "strategy" for so long could basically be declared a failure. .

The first time he could use his incompatibility to prevaricate the past, and the second time he rejected me like this, he would definitely doubt me, right? I wonder why I obviously can't accept a man, and I want to provoke him.

Hold. It seemed that he had forced himself into a situation where he had nowhere to go.

"First... let me go." After a stalemate for a while, I was reluctant to compromise for the sake of the overall situation.

Wood and wood rubbed together, and mankind has since then had fire. Skin-to-skin rubs for amazing heat.

The scorching breath that was spit in the neck, the arm that was pinned on the waist, the feeling is still very clear to this day.

When I'm with women, I hate them touching my smoke scars, but since they're all on the back of the body, there aren't many opportunities for that. But once he turned his back to Ji Chenfeng, it meant that his scars were also exposed in front of him.

Originally thought that the light was dim, he should not be able to see it, but who knew he could touch it.

After the indulgence, he put the entire weight on my back with no strength. Usually I can easily support this weight, but after two rounds, I was also a little weak, so I fell into the bed with my strength.

Through the shirt, a strong, even noisy heartbeat came over, beating on my back like a drum.

I can't remember how long it's been since haven't been this close to someone. It doesn't feel bad, it's just... so hot. Hot and heavy.

"I'm almost out of breath." I buried my face in the soft quilt, I let go of the sheets I had been holding on, and I was too lazy to gather any strength.

The weight on my body was much lighter in the next second, Ji Chenfeng rubbed the back of my ear, and said in a satisfied and happy voice, "I'm sorry."

After speaking, he rolled over and lay down beside me.

Without the oppression of the big polar bear, the breathing became smooth. What's even more amazing is that I don't know whether it was because of alcohol or because of physical exhaustion that I gradually accumulated sleepiness.

Maintaining the prone position, the eyelids couldn't stop fighting up and down. I could feel Ji Chenfeng's palm lingering on my skin like a small animal, it was a little itchy and annoying.

"How did this come about?" His fingertips rubbed the smoke scar on my waist and buttocks with a little strength. The first, the second, and the third... It seemed that he was just touching it. He memorized the location of each of them perfectly.

"This..." Drowsiness softened the thorn that should have been angry, and also dispelled the unhappiness of being mentioned the pain point, "It was made by a bad woman, a very bad, very bad woman..."

After that, the memory is completely vague dreams that can't be remembered. I remember being chased by a tiger for a long time. I was so tired from running that I couldn’t run anymore. I was thrown down by a huge beast and cruelly bit my legs off.

Love watching horror movies and being the protagonist of a horror movie are not the same thing at all. Although I have been having all kinds of bizarre dreams since insomnia, such nightmares are still rare. Hope it won't happen again next time.

When the shower gel was rubbed behind me, my fingers touched some strange touches, and some places seemed to be swollen, and there was still pain when pressed.

Twisting his body, he glanced through the flesh on his butt, and the clear crimson teeth marks came into view. Checked several places in a row, and it was all the same.

After rushing off the foam, I went to the mirror, took a bath towel to wipe the water droplets off my body, and turned my back.

Sure enough, the places with smoke scars were covered with bite marks. Although I hate these scars, they are actually not difficult to get rid of with current medical technology. However, the thought of being touched by strangers, and the possibility that they might have rich associations with me, came to an end.

I never thought that could cover them in this way, it was like a personal brand that belonged to Ji Chenfeng.

Not even angry. Even I was surprised. However, it only makes sense to be angry at the moment of the incident. Now that it is a fact, it has been bitten by the bite, and it will not help to be angry again.

Putting on my clothes, I walked out of the bathroom. The dining table was already filled with a hearty breakfast. Ji Chenfeng was not at the dining table or in the bedroom.

Did you go outside?

The air outside is colder, and there is no need to wear a jacket. As soon as walked out of the bubble house, couldn't help shivering because of the huge temperature difference.

Soon I found Ji Chenfeng. He was standing in the bushes on the edge of the platform, holding something in his hand, and didn't pay attention to my arrival.

"Doctor Ji?" I walked over to him, "What did you catch?" Seeing the fluffy, glowing red lump in his hand, I thought he had caught something.

Ji Chenfeng turned towards me and carefully handed the thing in his hand to me.

"Not caught."

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a bird.

"This should be a red-headed cuckoo just born this summer. The flying skills are still very immature. It just accidentally hit our bubble house. Fortunately, I checked it, and the neck and wings are all fine, but it fell off. I was a little frightened and a little dizzy at the time.”

Crouching in his palm, the bird with bright red feathers and a long tail blinked its dark eyes, and kept looking at me with its head tilted curiously, as if it didn't realize what the behemoth standing in front of it was. Looking really dumbfounded.

"It looks pretty chic," I commented.

Maybe it was enough rest, and the bird started flapping its wings.

"Birds of this family are good at climbing, but not very good at flying, so they don't migrate and will stay in the land where they were born." Ji Chenfeng walked away from the trail and the bubble house. where, under the huge tree canopy, one hand stretched out naturally, palm spread out, and waited quietly.

With my hands in my trouser pockets, I thought of the bird release scene I saw on TV before, and asked, "Just wait like this, don't you need to throw a flight aid?"

The wind blew through the treetops, causing the position of the sun to change constantly. When it fell on Ji Chenfeng, there was an illusion that the sun was caressing him.

"It's actually very easy to cause secondary damage to the birds, so that's fine," he said. "They can fly by themselves."

Before the words fell, the red bird fluttered away in an instant. Although it was not good at flying, it disappeared in the woods in a blink of an eye.

Ji Chenfeng squinted and looked at the direction the bird was leaving, and after confirming that it would not fall down for no reason, he retracted his gaze and returned to me.

"Where will it go?" I asked casually.

I didn't want to get a clear scientific answer, was just looking for a topic to discuss with Ji Chenfeng.

Ji Chenfeng thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'll go home."

go home?

"Does the concept of home exist for the bird?"

"Tired birds return home. The nests where the birds return when they are tired, the branches they perch on, and the caves where they rest are their homes. Woods, mountains, and streams can also become their homes. This land is inclusive of all things and loves everything. Every living being. The bird is its child, and it is the bird's home." He paused and concluded in a very serious tone, "So, the bird should have a home."

Is heaven and earth home...

I thought the birds, like me, were always looking for the next branch to land on, so they have a home. I'm rather small.

"Doctor Ji really likes small animals." He touched the wound on his face lightly. After washing his hair yesterday, the Band-Aid on his face was also scrapped. Fortunately, after a night, the dazzling blood has disappeared, and the remaining redness and swelling should be healed in two days.

It may be a little painful, he frowned uncontrollably, I thought he was going to avoid it, but the next second his face rubbed against my palm.

"Occasionally...I like humans." When he said the last four words, just like the little bird just now, he lifted his eyelids and looked at me, his appearance was extremely innocent, and his tone was extremely ambiguous.

Ji Chenfeng became more and more clinging to me as the intimacy became deeper and deeper. Although he still appears to be too indifferent and dull due to the defensive mechanism at times, as long as he grasps the rules and sees through the surface and goes straight to the heart, he will find that he is actually quite ponderous.

After admiring his tame appearance for a while, I took my hand away from his face and went to hold his hand instead.

"Let's go, let's go in for dinner, it's a little cold outside." Saying that, I took him to the bubble house.

On the second day after returning from the bubble house, the hotel suite I stayed in welcomed its first guest - Ji Chenfeng and the director of their hospital, Wu Rong.

"Be careful, it's not a respect, I hope you like it." Dean Wu sat across from him and slowly pushed a box of high-end refreshments towards me.

I glanced at me and said lightly, "You're welcome."

"Actually, I should have come to visit you long ago. I should have come last time when the puppy in our hospital accidentally bit you, but I was on a business trip at that time, so I was delayed." Dean Wu said with a smile, "This time, it's up to you to make a rescue. It happens to be two times together. It's an apology and a thank you."

I was really unfamiliar with him, and after chatting for a few words, we looked at each other, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Then I won't disturb you..." Dean Wu smiled dryly, making a gesture to get up.

"President Wu." I stopped him.

Dean Wu paused and sat down again.

"You say."

With my arms around my chest, I stared at him for a long time, until the smile on his face became increasingly difficult to maintain, and the doubts in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

I said slowly: "If a doctor does not perform well during the internship, he can choose not to be hired, right?"

"Uh...that's the truth."

"How is Ji Chenfeng's performance?"

"Dr. Ji's professionalism is excellent, and he is very patient with small animals. The guests of the pet hospital also rate him highly." He seemed to have misunderstood something, "You don't have to worry. Anesthesia accident is something that no one wants to happen, Ji The doctor has tried his best to rescue the kitten. The cat was not rescued, and he may be the most uncomfortable person except the pet owner. I have been a doctor for so many years, and I understand it, not because of one Accidentally biased his personal evaluation."

Dean Wu said with a smile: "I have already planned to shorten the internship period and hire him in advance."

I nodded, noncommittal: "President Wu, do you like money?"

He was visibly stunned, and the doubts that had just subsided appeared on his face again.

"……what do you mean?"

"How much money does it take to buy Dean Wu to do something that is neither illegal nor too difficult to do?"

At this age, the other party is in the business of running a hospital that requires frequent dealings with people, so he quickly heard the meaning of my words.

He hissed: "Mingren don't speak secretly, you should tell me directly what you want me to do."

That's the point of talking to smart people, and it saves a lot of unnecessary talk.

"Then I'll just say it directly. How much does it cost to prevent Dr. Ji from passing the internship?"

Dean Wu blinked, looking quite shocked. He may never have thought of it, I would make such a bizarre request.

Indeed, as a friend, you shouldn't do this behind the scenes. But... I'm not Ji Chenfeng's friend.

"Let's make a price." I gave him my first smile since today.

After Wu Rong left, I walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and dialed Yan Shanhua's cell phone.

After a few bells, Yan Shanhua picked it up, and it took a long time to say "hello".

Faced with her fearful voice, I turned a deaf ear and told her succinctly why I called her.

"Do you want to make up for me?" The clean glass showed a vague reflection of me, my face was excessively pale due to lack of sleep all the time, and my long and narrow eyes were cold and lifeless. This is a face that is...a face that is unruly to put it nicely, and always on the verge of anger when it is hard to put it.

"No matter what reason you use, tell Ji Chenfeng that you need money, a lot of money, and let him come to me."
