ed and elegant demeanor.After glancing at him, he extended his hand and said, “Hello, my name is Zhao Qi. Are you Ning Shu”Does the other party recognize themselvesNing Shu was a little surprised.But...Noticing that someone was following her, Ning Shu couldn't help but quicken her pace.

At that moment, he thought of many possibilities.

The other party followed him, he couldn't be a good person. Maybe he was after money, or...a criminal

But Ning Shu quickly calmed down.

If the other party had ulterior motives, they should have caught up to him by now. But this person merely followed at a leisurely pace, maintaining a safe distance as if afraid of being discovered.

Ning Shu, who had originally intended to walk into the crowd, suddenly stopped.

The man stopped with him too.

But when he turned his head, there was no one there.

Ning Shu took a deep breath and pursed her lips.

Then, facing the empty space, she said aloud, “Come out, Shen Ji. I know it’s you.”

After two or three seconds, a tall figure walked out.

Shen Ji's exquisite and handsome face appeared before her eyes. He looked at Ning Shu and whispered, " ...Ning Ge, how did you know it was me"

Ning Shu fell silent for a moment: "...Besides you, who else Not just any pervert would stalk a man."

Shen Ji didn't speak.

His eyes were a little red, and he stared at Ning Shu intently, whispering an apology: “ ... I'm sorry, Ning Ge, I just missed you too much.”

Shen Ji, despite his towering height, stood several steps away, as if afraid to approach, which caused Ning Shu's annoyance.

He just stood there, his phoenix eyes staring intently at her, as if afraid Ning Shu would suddenly leave. There was a hint of grievance in his gaze.

Ning Shu was speechless.

He had never seen Shen Ji like this before, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence.

Ning Shu said, " ... You go back. Don't follow me anymore."

Shen Ji's eyes became increasingly red.

He seemed like he was about to burst into tears, staring at Ning Shu in a low voice: "...Ning ge, I haven't seen you for a whole week,...Can I look at you for a little longer"

Shen Ji's eyes were red as he said, "You wouldn't let me go to the cake shop. I didn't know how else I could see you."

Ning Shu was startled.

Shen Ji's red eyes were completely different from his previous angry and ferocious expression. He just stood there, as if something was about to fall out of his eyes the next second.

I couldn't help but slightly turn my face away.

Ning Shudao: "....Shen Ji, don't do that."

He paused and continued, "Don't you remember what you were like before"

Shen Ji looked at him and said, "If I were the same as before, you wouldn't pay attention to me."

Ning Shu pursed her lips.

He looked at Shen Ji in front of him, turned around and said, "…Don't follow me."

He felt a bit stifled.

Ning Shu entered the residential compound.

After he got home, he brought the clothes that had been drying outside in. Then he watered the plants a little.

The sky outside is a little overcast.

Ning Shu was stunned for a moment.

It seems like it's going to rain.

This weather, Ning Shu couldn't help but think of Shen Ji outside. Has Shen Ji left already

He doesn't know.

From here, we can't see where Shen Ji was just now.

Ning Shu knew he shouldn't think about the other party, let alone meddle. If he wanted Shen Ji to give up, he should close his eyes and cover his ears.

But the weather outside was getting worse, and the sky grew darker and darker, as if it were about to rain.

Ning Shu still couldn't hold back and went down.

He remembered Shen Ji kneeling outside all night last time, Ning Shu's eyelashes trembling slightly. Finding the original place, Shen Ji stood there, looking at him, their eyes met.

"Brother Ning...."

The rain had begun to fall. It hit his shoulders, and Shen Ji looked like a stray dog no one wanted, rather pitiful.

Ning Shu took a step forward, silently extending her hand and holding the umbrella for him.

"Go ahead..."

Shen Ji's eyes were fixed on him, his gaze intense and red-rimmed. He seemed to be trying to discern if the man was lying, yet afraid that Ning Shu might go back on his word.

Ning Shu took him back to her place.

This wasn't Shen Ji's first time here, but looking at the facilities in the room, his heart sank. He followed behind the man and whispered, "Three years ago when Ning Ge left, he didn't take anything with him."

Ning Shu bent down and handed him a pair of shoes.

He said, "...there's nothing good to take."

"...Just like me, Ning Ge thinks I'm unnecessary, doesn't he"

Ning Shu turned around and said, "Shen Ji, you're all wet. Go take a shower."

Shen Ji didn't speak, his phoenix eyes blinking slowly.

He immediately took the shoes.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he whispered, "I'm sorry, Ning Ge. I won't bring up the past again."

Shen Ji stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour.

Ning Shu paused for a moment.

I think he's been in there for too long.

But it wasn't easy to ask anything until Shen Ji came out.

Ning Shucai said, “.... Wait until the rain stops before you go back. You don't need to return my clothes.”

Shen Ji suddenly said, "Ning Ge, the rain is too heavy. I'm afraid we won't be able to get a taxi. Can I stay here for the night"

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment.

Nods.

He said, "...there's only one room. If you want to sleep, you'll have to sleep in the living room."

However, Shen Ji did not mind where he slept at all.

He said with a slight curl of his lips, "Good."

When Ning Shu entered the bathroom, he smelled a slightly familiar yet strange scent. He wasn't some innocent fool; when he was with Shen Ji, they... had done everything.

So he knew very clearly what Shen Ji had done here.

Ning Shu's ears were a little...hot.

He never thought Shen Ji would stoop so low.

In a nutshell.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Ji felt that some things within him would always remain unchanged. Ning Shu didn't want to question what the other had done in his bathroom, so he pretended not to know anything, finished showering, and went out.

Shen Ji sat on the sofa, Ning Shu holding some things, walked over and said: " ...The living room might be a bit cold at night, I'll sleep first."

.....

Ning Shu had a dream.

I dreamed of him, like his old self, the Shen Ji from three years ago, when he was still in the city.

And all those little things with Shen Ji.

It's common for people to become inseparable once they develop a serious relationship.

In Meng's dream, Shen Ji repeatedly tossed and turned her.

He reached out and grabbed Shen Ji, but his hand landed on the other's abs. There was also a smooth waistline; Shen Ji wasn't particularly muscular, but he felt really good to touch.

.....

Confused and infatuated.

When Ning Shu woke up, she found herself...

His chest rose and fell slightly.

A little lost, and also a bit guilty.

This was not Ning Shu's first dream in these three years. He occasionally dreamt of Shen Ji, dreamt of those things, but he rarely dreamt like this.

My heart skipped a beat.

Ning Shu felt a little embarrassed to speak, especially with Shen Ji still sleeping in the living room... He was just about to get up when a hand reached out. "...Brother Ning,"

My heart pounded.

Ning Shu was almost speechless: "...Shen Ji"

He breathed heavily, a hint of annoyance in his voice: "How did you get into my room"

Shen Ji whispered, "...I heard Ning Ge calling, I thought something happened, so I came in."

His phoenix eyes stared straight at her, a hint of depth in them.

Ning Shu was stared at until his breath caught in his throat. Only then did he realize that the lights in the room had been turned on at some point. And at this moment, his appearance was also seen clearly by the other person.

Especially a certain place...

Ning Shu felt increasingly embarrassed to speak.

He slightly raised his hand, unsure for a moment whether to cover his face or some other part of himself.

But Shen Ji actually leaned over: "....Ning Ge Are you..."

"No...," Ning Shu quickly denied, pursed her lips, "I'm fine. You should go."

His eyelashes fluttered.

Only Ning Shu knew what he had dreamt. He dreamed of Shen Ji, dreamed of them...

He didn't know what his name was....

But just thinking that Shen Ji had heard all of these sounds, Ning Shu couldn't help but curl her toes in shame.

"Brother Ning, there's no need to feel ashamed."

Shen Ji looked at him and said, "These are normal reactions from men."

Ning Shu pursed her lips and said nothing.

If Shen Ji knew what he dreamed about, he probably wouldn't have said that.

He stiffened slightly and said, “.....I know. You, go out first.”

Shen Ji, however, just stared at him intently. After a while, he suddenly said, “I’ll help Brother Ning.”

.....

Ning Shu didn't know either, why things suddenly developed like this. When he came back to his senses, Shen Ji had already started to get his hands dirty...

到後麵。

Ning Shu didn't know if it was intentional or if he couldn't resist the man's instinct.

Or perhaps he was stunned by Shen Ji's actions.

Shen Ji gave him... .

When Ning Shu came to her senses, Shen Ji didn't even grunt. He remained silent for a long while, staring at her without speaking.

Three years ago, Shen Ji at most just brushed against him.

And now, Shen Ji is like someone has taken possession of him. The things he's doing are nothing like what he would normally do.

Shen Ji seemed like nothing had happened, even daring to hug him.

Until Ning Shu looked at him.

He then whispered, "...Ning Ge, can I hug you for a little longer"

Perhaps it is the baseness of men that leads to this.

What's more, given that Shen Ji did such a thing, Ning Shu wouldn't push him away under any circumstances after...such an incident.

He seemed like a heartless jerk who dumped his girlfriend after using her, just like he did with Shen Ji.

Although this metaphor is not appropriate when applied to him and Shen Ji.

Ning Shu couldn't describe that feeling, it was like her scalp was tingling, making her...

Shen Ji didn't know when he leaned in, his thin lips even daring to brush his cheek with a kiss. His eyes were deep and his voice low: "Ning Ge, is that comfortable"r using her, just like he did with Shen Ji.Although this metaphor is not appropriate when applied to him and Shen Ji.Ning Shu couldn't describe that feeling, it was like her scalp was tingling, making...
