Chapter 30 (1/2)

UNEDITED

For his peace of mind, shi+ Jin planned to observe Lian Jun covertly to deterry Lian Jun, however, did not give hied his injuries but had not gone to rest like he was supposed to, he sirabbed hi him behind, then personally threw shi+ Jin out of his room and closed the door

“Why did he driveto disturb his rest” shi+ Jin was unwilling to give up He said, a little sourly, “Gua Nine is allowed to wait on the sofa in the outer room when Lian Jun takes a nap”

Xiao Si said with brutal honesty, <i think=”” it's=”” because=”” you're=”” too=”” dirty=”” right=”” now…=””>

shi+ Jin glanced down and rebutted, “I'!”

<yeah, but=”” you=”” haven't=”” bathed=”” for=”” days…=”” and=”” didn't=”” wash=”” your=”” hair…=””> Xiao Si continued mercilessly

shi+ Jin's expression stiffened It was true he hadn't showered since the round s Thewipe me after he took me to the hotel?”

Xiao Si's voice was full of pity

shi+ Jin: “…”

He rushed to his roo until his skin became red When he finally donned a bathrobe and came out, he found it was almost a dinnerti room

By the ti shi+ Jin up and about, he did not say anything but only motioned him to sit down and eat, as usual

shi+ Jin was still unable to tell whether he was angry or not Then he noticed most of the dishes on the table were his favorites, and felt so ain, “Jun-shao, I really only care about you If you don't like it, I will change”

The movement of Lian Jun's chopsticks stopped He raised his head to look at shi+ Jin and asked, “In ay?”

“…I can be more reserved?” shi+ Jin said tentatively

Lian Jun put down his chopsticks and picked up the soup bowl “Eat When you finish, come with me to the study”

shi+ Jin: “…” Why do I feel the air pressure dropped?

After dinner, shi+ Jin dutifully followed Lian Jun to his study They sat opposite each other across the tea table, then Lian Jun took out the tea set and focused ontea He asked, “Are your injuries well?”

Unconsciously, shi+ Jin's gaze followed Lian Jun's white fingers handling dark-colored teapot He nodded “Yes It's just a few scratches and so to care about”

Lian Jun poured out the first tea and began the second brewing When he spoke again, the subject changed “Tell me about your task”

shi+ Jin carefully observed his expression, but it did not give him any clues, so he obediently described the course of the mission in a brief manner

As Lian Jun listened carefully, his actions never stopped By the time shi+ Jin finished, the tea was ready

He poured a cup and pushed it in front of shi+ Jin, saying, “Try it”

shi+ Jin drank it in one gulp and praised, “Delicious!”

Lian Jun: “…”

shi+ Jin, who did not understand tea etiquette at all, was given a bit too late advice by Xiao Si: <jinjin, you=”” don't=”” drink=”” tea=”” like=”” that=”” you=”” need=”” to=”” sip=”” it=”” slowly=”” to=”” savor=”” the=”” flavor=””>

shi+ Jin: “…”

Lian Jun straightened languidly, watching shi+ Jin in silence

shi+ Jin's back began to sweat This moment, he deeply understood how arse-lickers, brown-nosers, and schh He looked away, shi+fting uncomfortably under Lian Jun's death stare

“Why did you insist on co to the restaurant today?” Lian Jun asked out of the blue shi+ Jin opened his mouth, ready to suck up to hiue “I want to hear the truth”

Hearing the abnormal tone of his voice, shi+ Jin sed the flattery back and thought for a er Few people know you are still in B City, but suddenly, your friend made an appoint”

“…You're sharp” Lian Jun's fingers tapped on the wheelchair armrest He leaned forward to re for a cup of hota little, “Don't be so rash in the future Next tis, just ask hting a battle alone is a bad habit to have”

Is he co me the proper way to deal with trouble while he's at it?

shi+ Jin was stunned He stared at Lian Jun's face, which refused to lose its pallor despite shi+ Jin'sout, “Lian Jun, youtime”

Lian Jun paused and looked at shi+ Jin

After these words escaped his lips, shi+ Jin froze Then he sighed, sonedly

In the past, he wanted to save Lian Jun h the normal human kindness also played a part Now that he acco, however, he had no choice but to admit he wanted to save Lian Jun simply because he wanted him to live

Huood man; he didn't want him to die, not in the least

“‘The future' will come only if you live That's why, Lian Jun, work a little harder, ok? There are so many people ant you dead I'm afraid that if you don't do your best, aren't s rarely go exactly as planned; it's not as if the danger will disappear just because you are well-prepared” shi+ Jin's words were earnest and pros As he spoke, he instinctivelyon the wheelchair ar forward a little bit He looked for all the world like a worriedher son

He was really afraid Every tier, Lian Jun's bar rose and fell like a roller coaster Reason kept telling hiress bar still had a safe in, but the better he knew Lian Jun, the ht now, he could no longer guarantee he would be able to keep a cool head in every situation

His eyes narrowing, Lian Jun glanced at the hand that was caught

“For instance, this tirumble “So what if there were people in the lobby? They were too far away In case so broke down and decided to launch a suicide attack, they wouldn't have time to respond”

Lian Jun did not interrupt hi distance between the two of them

“Besides, you knew this invitation was suspicious, so why didn't you take more people? Not to mention Gua One, you should've taken Gua Three and Gua Five with you Having Gua Two alone was too risky” shi+ Jin did not notice but, probably feeling the other party's skin was too cold, he began to rub Lian Jun's hand while he was scolding him

The expression in Lian Jun's eyes continued to darken Finally, he called out, “shi+ Jin”

“Hmm?” shi+ Jin turned his head to look at hiht, the other leaned over him, and the distance between their faces was so close they could nearly count each other's eyelashes

Lian Jun looked at the expression of dewy-eyed innocence on shi+ Jin's face He asked, “Does ood?” For some reason, his voice was a little lower than usual, with a bit of a drawl

shi+ Jin froze, and hisanother hand tightly… After a few seconds, he woke up froo of Lian Jun's hand His expression turned stiff from embarrassment He wondered how to explain it was unintentional while wailing inwardly to Xiao Si, “I held Lian Jun's hand? How? Why? When did I grab it?!”

Xiao Si's voice eird, with a hint of strange excitereasy,=”” support!=”” support!=””>

Wait, what are you supporting?!

shi+ Jin was sure that he either suffered from a sudden bout of insanity or had been possessed by athe inscrutable expression in his face, he sed hard and tried to save himself: “Jun-shao, your hands are too cold You should ar him, Lian Jun turned his wheelchair around and an to read it His whole body radiated cold indifference

shi+ Jin kept giving hi his tongue

Ten minutes later, Lian Jun suddenly looked up and pointed at the door “Get out, you're too noisy”

“I didn't say a word” shi+ Jin felt aggrieved

“The sound of your breathing is bothering me,” said Lian Jun callously, unmoved by his expression
