Mr Wayward

Chapter 24

Copywriter Ji Changning went downstairs to have breakfast. Aunt Wang prepared small wontons with soy milk. A bowl of wontons has various fillings, such as fresh shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, corn, seaweed, and beef filling. Ji Changning likes home-cooked food , but Aunt Wang couldn't really make it so ordinary, so she did it in different ways, and Ji Changning was very supportive every time.

Ji Changning ordered two large bowls, and he drank the soup. He was so hungry after not eating last night. He gave Aunt Wang a thumbs up, "The craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Aunt Wang beamed with joy, being recognized is the happiest thing, "Do you want another bowl?"

"No, I'm full." Ji Changning said with a smile.

"Then what do you want to eat at noon? I'll make it for you. It's really deserted when you go out with Mr. Shen these few days. I seem to have lost some weight when I come back. I will definitely make it up for you." Aunt Wang said distressedly, She cooked for Ji Changning when he came here. At the beginning, Ji Changning was very thin, but after raising the meat on his cheeks, the meat on his cheeks became a little more. Unexpectedly, after returning to his hometown for a few days, the meat that was so hard to grow fell back again. .

"I won't eat at home at noon." Seeing that Aunt Wang wanted to say something else, Ji Changning quickly added: "I won't eat at home at night. To be precise, I'm going to move out."

Aunt Wang asked Zheng, but she didn't realize it for a while, "Are we going to move?"

Ji Changning: "I just moved out."

"Ah?" Aunt Wang said, "Why, I was fine yesterday." She understood, but she couldn't understand.

And why, is this an unbelievable thing, Ji Changning can't figure out why, is he and Shen Yichen who were in love before and want to grow old together?How can there be constant things in the world, and feelings cannot withstand scrutiny.

Ji Changning just shook his head, he didn't explain any more, Aunt Wang watched his lips move slightly, but she didn't say anything after all, she shouldn't interfere with her employer's private life.

Familiar footsteps appeared, and Shen Yichen changed his clothes after washing. He looked as capable and elite as before. He looked at Ji Changning at the dining table and asked, "Are you finished eating?"

Ji Changning was a little surprised by his calmness, he was already planning to fight with Shen Yichen, he thought that this person would be furious, not only did he propose to break up, but he also satirized Shen Yichen.

Aunt Wang hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring out a breakfast, and then withdrew, thinking that maybe Shen Yichen and Ji Changning wanted to talk about something, and he shouldn't disturb them.For all the workers in the family, among the two gentlemen, Ji Changning was the one who got along better and was more approachable. Although Shen Yichen never scolded them, it always made people feel a sense of distance. When he was present, everyone even talked loudly Take it easy.

Ji Changning held the warm soy milk in his hands, and he thought for a few seconds whether he should get up and leave or continue to sit.

"I understand what you mean." Shen Yichen said abruptly. He gently stirred the water in the bowl with a spoon, and there was a crisp sound when it touched the porcelain bowl wall. He put down the spoon, and he didn't look like he was going to have breakfast. "But as I have said many times, I only have you in my heart."

Ji Changning grasped the cup subconsciously, he didn't speak, he knew the subtext of this sentence: I have you in my heart, isn't that enough?Can't you bear other things?

But he had endured it for a long time, Ji Changning's heart ached, he took a sip of soy milk to hide his expression, and lowered his head.

After a long time, Ji Changning said, "You don't understand."

They were silent for a while, Ji Changning was about to get up and leave, when he heard Shen Yichen say, "I can change it."

This was Shen Yichen's biggest concession, it was always compromised by others, this was the first time he was so humble to retain someone.

Ji Changning said softly, "I don't believe it."

The veins on the back of Shen Yichen's hands bulged, and he took a deep breath, "Is it necessary for us to go this far? What made you want to break up suddenly, at least tell me the reason?"

Ji Changning was very calm: "Nothing special happened, it's just that I happened to be in a bad mood, and then I drank alcohol and quarreled with you, so I just wanted to make a clean break."

Shen Yichen: "If... If I didn't come back that day, and we didn't quarrel that day, would you still want to leave me?"

Ji Changning thought carefully about the answer to this question, and he said slowly, "To be honest...no, if you weren't there that day, or if I chose to go home and sleep, I would probably think it was no big deal the next day." As before, he was quite able to explain himself. He had already encountered many worse things. Shen Yichen did annoy him, but it was not to the point of being completely unbearable.

Make do with it, he thought so.

Ji Changning continued: "After all, you are the best person to me. You are so rich, generous, and good-looking. Maybe you will never meet someone with better conditions than you in the future. Well, speaking of you Do you think I'm snobby?"

Shen Yichen looked at him with a much more relaxed look. He thought he was considerate of Ji Changning, and he was about to say that I would treat you like this in the future, but Ji Changning continued to say: "Unfortunately, if there is no if, it is better for us to separate. .”

Shen Yichen raised his eyebrows, "Is it okay to live a good life? I'm not bankrupt. I never separated my money from myself. I like my money and I like me. What's more, I know you are not this kind of person. I will give you everything you want. If I can give it, I will try my best to satisfy if I can’t.”

Ji Changning: "No, I don't lack these now."

Shen Yichen: "I said I would change it, you want to be specific, right?"

Ji Changning was exhausted, "Don't be like this."

Don't say it as if I'm begging you to give me a little love, it's too humble.

Shen Yichen's temples throbbed, and Ji Changning's invulnerable and cold-hearted appearance made him powerless, "Have you thought it through?"

Ji Changning nodded indifferently.

"Okay, then you can go." Shen Yichen said angrily.

Ji Changning sat alone at the dining table for a while, and he drank the remaining soy milk slowly.

Having eaten and rested enough, Ji Changning packed up the things he left.

In the past, when he was on a business trip or traveling, the housekeeper was responsible for preparing the luggage. As a hands-off shopkeeper, someone would naturally arrange everything for him, but this time the housekeeper and others did not dare to help him pack, so he did it himself.

He took two sets of clothes that were more pleasing to the eye from the cloakroom, and Ji Changning couldn't remember what else he needed to bring. He walked around the room and simulated in his mind what he had done from waking up to going to bed.

Brush your teeth and wash your face... yes.

Ji Changning went to the bathroom to get his electric toothbrush. Although he decided to buy most of the things again, he might not be in time, so he should bring it with him if he can.

He turned on the switch to see how the battery was going. When he went out, he lowered his head and didn't notice that he was pinned by the door frame. He slipped and staggered a few steps forward, then hit the wall and fell to the ground.

Shen Yichen just came out of the study at this time, and saw the whole process of Ji Changning's flat fall at the corner, his brows twitched, he endured it and walked forward, "What are you doing? Where did you fall?"

Ji Changning fell a little dazed. He touched the back of his head. It hurt a little but not too bad. He probably didn't break his skin. "Ah? I'm packing my things."

Shen Yichen saw that he was still holding a buzzing toothbrush in his right hand, and thought that he would be mad at him sooner or later, "What are you doing with this thing, you just take this away?"

Ji Changning looked at him inexplicably, he propped himself up against the wall and stood up, "I just started collecting, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?"

Shen Yichen was furious, "You have no plan? You said you would move out before, but you didn't plan anything?"

Ji Changning plausibly said: "I don't have time, I've been very busy recently, didn't I just come back yesterday?"

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm busy." Ji Changning patted his butt and left.

Ji Changning rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the bedroom. The bedroom was his private space, and no one would help him tidy it up. On the other hand, he felt that if the location changed, he would not be able to find things.

It turned out that even if no one touched his things, he couldn't find them.

He was looking for the one-inch photo he took before, maybe it will be useful in the future, I don't know where he stuffed it.

The book was moved to another table by him, all kinds of sundries were picked up and put down by him, and he found a few data cables to take away.

On the table is a cup that he often used. It is a very ordinary white porcelain cup. The surface of the cup is dotted with an ugly flower. He remembered that he made it himself many years ago. He was very familiar with pottery at that time. interested.

Ji Changning picked up the cup and held it up. It was a little heavy, and he hesitated for a few seconds whether to take it away.

"Forget it, let's buy it again, alas, let's see if there is any space later." He muttered.

The cup was put back on the table.

Ji Changning continued to turn over the table, but unexpectedly knocked the cup down with his elbow, and it immediately shattered into pieces.

Ji Changning froze for a few seconds, "Come on, I don't need to bring it now."

Hearing the movement, the butler ran upstairs to check the situation, and Shen Yichen came with him.

Shen Yichen looked at him at the door with his arms folded, the housekeeper looked at the debris on the ground, then at Ji Changning and Shen Yichen, he sighed in his heart, "Sir, I'll get someone to clean it later, please don't touch it , be careful to hurt your hands." After finishing speaking, he went down.

Shen Yichen looked at the mess in the room, there were messy clothes on the bed, a few data cables, a stack of papers, and the electric toothbrush were lying quietly on the quilt.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on the fragments on the ground. The cup was very familiar. He also had one. It was a Valentine's Day gift Ji Changning gave him many years ago. Wrapped in a lace ribbon, he handed it to himself as if offering a treasure, and said nonsense: "I made this with my own hands, a couple's cup! It is full of my love for you."

Later, he took the cup to the company, and it is still on his desk to this day.

But the other cup was now shattered, and his owner didn't care.

Why is Ji Changning so hateful!Shen Yichen felt that he was about to have a migraine, he asked, "Is the cleaning done?"

Ji Changning: "Almost."

He felt a little embarrassed, wiped his hands on his pants, and then pretended to look elsewhere.

Such Ji Changning made Shen Yichen feel sorry for him.

Shen Yichen: "Have you brought your ID card and account book?"

Ji Changning: "Bring it."

Shen Yichen: "What about the driver's license and bank card?"

Ji Changning: "Yes."

"And..." Shen Yichen pondered for a moment, and Ji Changning interrupted him: "These are all in a box, and I won't lose them." He still knows that documents and other things should be kept safe, and they are usually placed in a fixed place a place.

Shen Yichen glanced around, "Where do you live, have you found a house yet?"

"hotel."

Shen Yichen took a deep breath, "How much money do you have left, is it enough?"

Ji Changning glanced at him, "Why, I dumped you, and you still have to pay me a breakup fee?"

Shen Yichen said coldly: "Don't starve yourself to death."

"Don't worry too much, I'm good at cooking." Besides, I can still order takeaway, how could I be so hungry.

Ji Changning snorted and stuffed things into the suitcase. His suitcase was only 16 inches, and he usually used it for business trips, but it was more than enough for him to pack the things he packed.

"Don't you want anything else?" Shen Yichen asked him, after a long time of cleaning, he found this little thing.

"No, you throw them away."

"You don't want the model on the third floor either?"

Ji Changning choked for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Don't throw this away, it's so expensive, and there are many out-of-print sea view rooms."

Of course he has thought about what to do with the pile of models, there are hundreds of them at least, the custom display cabinets occupying two walls are already full, and the GK he has spent countless hours painting, but he can't take it away, this kind of Delicate gadgets are especially prone to damage during transportation. The models he sends to others are packed in three layers inside and outside. This is only for a single model. He bought too many, and the packaging box was thrown away long ago. , To be honest, I really don't know how to take it away.

If you don’t understand it, just don’t think about it. He likes it, but he doesn’t have to. This is the reason why he accepts orders online. He prefers the painting process and enjoys the completeness of the finished work. , he will take a lot of photos and post them on the Internet. He is very happy to receive the approval of the players in the circle, and then he will put the works in the cabinet with great care and almost never take them out again. He will soon There are new models.

"Oh, let's put it there for now, come back and get it when you want it." Shen Yichen didn't care, "Then do you still want your cat and dog?"

Ji Changning opened his eyes wide, "Yes, why don't you, I'll take them with me when I leave." The cats and dogs are the ones he said he wanted to keep, so he had to take them with him if he wanted to leave.

Shen Yichen: "How?"

"I have a car." Ji Changning was suddenly wary, "You don't want my car, do you? I bought it with my own money."

Shen Yichen scratched his tongue, who wants his broken car, the 20 Camry is like a baby, it has been in the garage for several years and I haven't seen him drive it, he still thinks it takes up the parking space, and the housekeeper has to give him the car from time to time Do maintenance to prevent scrapping.

"Okay, then you take it away."

Shen Yichen was sure at this moment, Ji Changning couldn't leave, he had too many things left in this house.

Ji Changning went downstairs to the yard to look for his pet, and when he heard his call, Dabai ran over from the yard like a wild horse with its tail wagging.

Ji Changning made a hug gesture, and Dabai threw himself into his arms excitedly. Ji Changning squatted down and rubbed him hard, and Dabai acted like a baby with him.

"Dabai, have you seen Mimi?" Dabai is easy to find, but the cat is not necessarily the case, and usually disappears, so it is really not easy to find it.

Seeing him standing up, Dabai walked around Ji Changning excitedly, stepping on Ji Changning's pants from time to time, leaving a few shallow mud marks.

Ji Changning was not angry, but just patted his pants, he stroked the dog's head and said, "There won't be such a big yard in the future, and I won't get my body dirty again."

He walked around the yard twice but didn't see the cat. He knew that the cat would sometimes leave the house to play. The area of ​​this villa is too big, the house is small and the yard is big. They have to hire a professional landscaper to maintain it every year. The cats here are kept in a free range state, and their temperament is very wild.

The housekeeper persuaded him to look for it after lunch, maybe he would come back after releasing some cats.

Ji Changning reluctantly agreed, but the cat did come back at noon. The housekeeper and Xiaoyue helped put him into the flight box. The cat was still trying to stretch out its paws, so Ji Changning stroked it soothingly. , the cat calmed down.

The butler said, "Sir, keeping pets is very troublesome."

"Ah."

"Have you prepared the cat's supplies, cat litter and cat food, etc. You are also responsible for its hygiene."

"I'll buy it."

"Most hotels I know don't allow pets, where are you going to keep them?"

Ji Changning glanced at him, and told Shen Yichen that going to a hotel to live was nonsense. Although he did not find a suitable house, he also agreed with his friend that he would be able to rent it for a while. It was agreed, but he is really not good at taking care of pets. This matter still requires self-knowledge. It is easy for him to move out, but he is not sure whether he can take good care of cats and dogs.

"I've already found a place to live, so don't worry about it." Ji Changning said stiffly.

"Actually, cats are easy to deal with. Dabai is a Samoyed. He needs a lot of exercise. You have to take him out for a walk every day. Dabai never goes to the bathroom at home. You have to teach him to be convenient at a fixed place. He has enough energy. If he doesn't It seems easy for people to tear down their homes.”

The housekeeper calmly explained to him the precautions for cats and dogs. Ji Changning listened silently, and the more he listened, the more he didn't make sense. He left too hastily, and he really couldn't take good care of them.

"Why don't you leave Dabai here, and I'll send the dog there myself when I settle down."

Ji Changning was silent for a while, and he said, "Shen Yichen doesn't like pets."

This is also the main reason why he took them away, this is Shen Yichen's territory, the reason why they didn't stay after he left.

The housekeeper smiled, "Mr. Shen doesn't like pets, but he doesn't hate them either. The family always has a dog to guard the door. When Dabai is picked up by you, the family will buy a new dog."

Ji Changning turned his head aside, "Let's talk about it, let me think about it." The housekeeper's words must have represented Shen Yichen's meaning.

He was a little moved, but he was reluctant to understand.

Ji Changning went to look for Dabai, and Dabai had a great time playing butterflies in the yard. This is a game he likes very much. If he brought Dabai to live in the community, there would be no need to play it.

When Dabai saw him, he dropped the butterfly and ran towards him. Ji Changning sat down on the steps, and Dabai arched into his arms. The afternoon sun made people lazy and lifeless. Ji Changning's whole body was warm from the sun. Nian, "Do you want to be with Shen Yichen or with me?"

During this time, Shen Yichen was in the study room on the second floor. He stood by the French windows and watched Ji Changning's silly things in the yard. Ji Changning hugged the dog and talked with it, petting this and that, and resting his head against the big dog's furry head.

Ji Changning was still worrying, but he heard a voice from behind, Shen Yichen sat down next to him, he would not think the steps were dirty, he remembered that Shen Yichen had a cleanliness habit.

"If you like it so much, why don't you leave." Shen Yichen said.

"I don't." Ji Changning pressed his chin on the dog's hair, and he replied in a muffled voice.

Shen Yichen: "You stay here, I'll go."

What's the meaning?Ji Changning looked at him in confusion.

"Didn't you say you want to separate? It's fine if you don't stay together. You still live here. I'll leave and I won't come back." Shen Yichen said seriously.

After a while, Ji Changning said: "...Did you take the wrong medicine?"
