Please, Don't See Me

Chapter 14

In the end, Shu Jin could breathe freely.

The light was not on, but Shu Jin's overflowing tears were as slightly glowing as the liquid on the finger that left his mouth.

The sofa was too narrow and hard, so they went back to the room and fell on Shu Jin's bed which was also not too big.Shu Jin raised his head to accept the kiss, wrapped his arms around Sheng Xinghe's neck, touched the thick black hair on the back of his head, and smelled the same shower gel on their bodies.

This kiss lasted for a long time, so long that everything was silent, and time went back, full of long-lasting affection.

When he felt the coolness, Shu Jin was startled, as if he didn't know where it came from.

Sheng Xinghe didn't explain either.

It may have been bought when I went out to pick up my luggage, or it may have been brought in the suitcase, or it may even be bought without Shu Jin's knowledge when the two of them went to the supermarket together before.

Sheng Xinghe was different from before. At that time, Shu Jin felt that he could see through him at a glance, because Sheng Xinghe had no reservations in front of him.

But now, Sheng Xinghe has become quiet, and it is difficult for Shu Jin to see his thoughts clearly, which makes Shu Jin feel strange, but more attractive.

Sheng Xinghe's excesses were worse than the previous few times. Shu Jin was ashamed and angry, but couldn't help crying: "Where did you learn it?"

At this time, Sheng Xinghe didn't care about anyone else.

Sheng Xinghe said, "Thinking of what you learned."

Shu Jin was speechless, bit Sheng Xinghe's shoulder viciously, and heard Sheng Xinghe say, "You wear it."

Shu Jin was about to faint, he didn't know why, and after he realized it, his hands were stuffed with things he wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy, Sheng Xinghe reminded him of course: "I'm not free."

Finally, Sheng Xinghe grabbed his hand, closed his eyes, and let him touch his eyelids.

Sheng Xinghe's Adam's apple slid slightly: "You still want me."

Shu Jin was paralyzed with sweat all over his body, and felt that he was going to break down, so he trembled suddenly when he heard this.

Those words he said five years ago are being overturned by this sentence.

He wanted to pull his hand away, but Sheng Xinghe didn't let go, and opened his eyes to look at him.

Four eyes facing each other.

As if falling into a gray sea, Shu Jin turned his face away and whispered, "Brother, don't look at me."

Sheng Xinghe kissed his finger.

The next day, a colleague called to inform Shu Jin that the seat had been reserved and asked him to show up.

Sheng Xinghe heard the content of the call and said that he also had something to do at night, and he was planning to visit his teacher who lives in Xingcheng.Shu Jin hesitated for a while, seeing that Sheng Xinghe was doing as usual, he didn't agree after being angry.

The atmosphere between the two of them after last night was a bit strange, or Shu Jin unilaterally made it strange.

Sheng Xinghe's openness and tolerance made Shu Jin extremely guilty.

He didn't know what to do to make it easier for himself, or what to do to make things easier.

The two bid farewell downstairs, Shu Jin took a taxi, and looked back at Sheng Xinghe's figure standing on the street from the rear window of the car.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

But before going out just now, Sheng Xinghe kissed him in the porch.

Seeing a group of left-behind colleagues, Lin Qu was also there, and his family came out to join in the fun. No wonder a stranger like Shu Jin was constantly "coerced and lured" to participate.

Lin Xiang asked Shu Jin: "I heard that someone met you and your brother in the lobby of the movie theater yesterday. Has someone come to your house?"

Lin Chang didn't expect it to be Sheng Xinghe, after all, according to Shu Jin, they shouldn't be that close.

Before Shu Jin could answer, Lin Xiang said, "I heard that your father is also here."

Shu Jin: "..."

Lin Xiang didn't know what he had made up in his head, and he added in a mature way: "Stop making awkward fights with your family in the future."

When Shu Zhaoyuan was mentioned, Shu Jin was a little concerned.

Shu Zhaoyuan said that they hadn't contacted him since he went to see his friends. Just now, Shu Jin called him on the way, but no one answered, so he called a taxi to detour to the hotel to find someone. The front desk told him that Shu Zhaoyuan was not there.

In the middle of the dinner party, this anxiety began to inexplicably magnify.

Shu Jin's eyelids started to twitch, absent-minded.

Shu Jin was startled when the phone rang suddenly, and Sheng Xinghe's number was displayed on the screen.

He picked it up with a sigh of relief, and heard Sheng Xinghe say on the phone: "Shu Jin, when are you coming back?"

Shu Jin looked at the people at the table and said, "It should be soon, have you gone back yet?"

"Yeah." Sheng Xinghe said, "Someone came to look for you at home."

There seemed to be a sound next to his ear, and Shu Jin was stunned: "...Who is it?"

It took a few seconds for Sheng Xinghe's voice on the phone to be heard clearly: "I don't know him, I say he is your father's friend."

Shu Jin had a premonition that Sheng Xinghe had something to say, so he only vaguely responded, "Oh."

"He said that uncle was hospitalized." Sheng Xinghe's tone sounded very ordinary, "I'll wait for you at the hospital first."

Shu Jin took a taxi to the hospital, in such a hurry that he forgot his coat.

When he arrived at the hospital, Sheng Xinghe, who was waiting downstairs, wrapped him in a warm coat, only to realize that he was cold.

Sheng Xinghe didn't ask Shu Zhaoyuan when he came to Xingcheng, nor did he ask anything else. He briefly told Shu Jin that it was a fight. Shu Zhaoyuan was kicked in the waist. There was nothing wrong with him. Check for a ruptured spleen.

Shu Jin felt chills when he heard that, Shu Zhaoyuan had a criminal record, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter.

"you……"

He didn't know how to speak.

Sheng Xinghe knew what he wanted to ask, and said, "I haven't met him."

Even so, the two did not feel the slightest slack.

Because they all knew that even if Shu Zhaoyuan didn't see Sheng Xinghe's face now, they knew that it would be a matter of time before they got together again.

Shu Jin is in a state of desperation.

Sheng Xinghe reached out to wrap his coat tightly around him, touched his face restrainedly, and arranged: "You go up to see him first, sign something, and I'll pay the fee."

Shu Jin immediately said, "No need—"

Sheng Xinghe interrupted him: "It's okay, I don't like him, but at least he has taken care of my grandfather and me for so many years, I still remember these."

Shu Jin's eyes were red, the words were on his lips, but he muttered and couldn't speak.

To Sheng Xinghe, Shu Zhaoyuan did something that could be regarded as obliterating his conscience, but in his youth, Shu Zhaoyuan really cared about him, took care of him, and even replaced his seriously ill grandfather, filling the gap when he needed parents to show up at school. vacant, almost playing the father role.

Sheng Xinghe has a clear distinction between grievances and grudges, and he remembers grudges as well as kindness.

"Go." Sheng Xinghe said.

Shu Jin looked at him, took a few steps back, and then walked into the elevator.

When I went to the nurse's station and asked where Shu Zhaoyuan was, Shu Jin walked through the long corridor to the ward.

Opening the door, Shu Zhaoyuan lay half-lying on the bed with no one in front of him. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the father and son looked at each other. Shu Jin only had time to call "Dad", and Shu Zhaoyuan grabbed a water glass beside the bed and threw it at him.

With a "pop", the ceramic cup fell apart, and everyone in the ward was stunned.

Shu Jin was hit by the glass, and his forehead immediately began to bleed.

Shu Zhaoyuan was about to go crazy, and yelled: "Get out! You are a foodie! Get out!"

Shu Jin stood still.

A middle-aged man half-coaxed and half-persuaded him to push him out, he might be the friend Shu Zhaoyuan was talking about.

The middle-aged man said to him: "...Your father has this temper. He was already very angry. When he heard that your half-blind, cough, that friend was like this. Shu Jin, it's like this, your father and The fight was purely accidental. Uncle took him to dinner, who knew he would meet his enemy."

"That person used to be a worker under your father. In the past few years, he has started to do it himself in other places, and he has prospered."

"I found out later that your father was the one who reported it when he went in. What is this called..."

……

Shu Jin's mind was buzzing.

His face was pale, and it took several minutes to turn around again. The world is so small.

The passing nurse scolded them and told Shu Jin to go to the clinic to treat the wound on his forehead.

After coming out of the clinic, Shu Jin didn't go upstairs again.

He stood by the flower bed in a secluded part of the hospital for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Sheng Xinghe.

After connecting, neither of them spoke immediately.

During the brief silence, Sheng Xinghe spoke first: "Shu Jin."

Shu Jin: "Yes."

Sheng Xinghe: "You're going to break up with me again, aren't you?"

Mingming was still wearing Sheng Xinghe's coat, and the temperature was still there, but Shu Jin's hand resting on his cheek was as cold as ice. He heard Sheng Xinghe say, "There won't be another five years."
