Chapter 90: "Chen Jingshen, let's share a room."

The end of the year is the busiest time of the year again. In the past, Yu Fan had to run many scenarios every day, but this year, he has become the most free person.

He brought his camera on this trip, thinking that when Chen Jingshen was at work, he could just stroll around the South City and take some pictures. But as his seven-day vacation drew to a close, he hardly used the camera.

It started when Chen Jingshen asked him one morning if he wanted to go to the office with me.

Yu Fan was woken up by his kisses in his sleep, and after listening to him, he was left with a stomach full of dirty words, thinking vaguely, "I'm already noisy enough listening to your keyboard at home every day, and I'm not stupid enough to follow you to your company to suffer.

After squinting for a while to wake up, or as a fool, hurriedly changed clothes and Chen Jingshen went.

He was there for a week. But Yu Fan couldn't face staying in Chen Jingshen's office, and just sat in the café downstairs.

It so happens that these days Wang Yue in the group wailed a lot, to the end of the year, the weather is comfortable in Ningcheng overcrowded, the number of customers also grew rapidly, she woke up every day is to the group to send a voice screaming "how to make money is so bitter ah", "this money I do not earn also to stop! She woke up every day screaming to the group, "How can it be so hard to make money? Yu Fan had nothing else to do, so she simply retouched pictures for the store at the cafe and waited for Chen Jingshen to finish his shift and then went home together.

The boxes that had been piling up for who knows how long had been unpacked and arranged, and the house looked less empty. Chen Jingshen bought a projector, and they occasionally watch movies together on the couch in the evening.

Yu Fan enjoys watching horror movies and takes them very seriously, while Chen Jingshen is not interested in this type of movie, but he never misses a movie.

On Saturday night, Yu Fan was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed and his back straight, watching a movie. Seeing that the first climax of the movie was about to come, his waist was suddenly embraced, and Chen Jingshen leaned over towards him, closing his eyes and burying them in his neck.

"Can we not watch this?" Chen Jingshen asked.

"Can't. Chen Jingshen, you keep quiet." Yu Fan stared unseeingly at the movie screen.

"I'm afraid."

"If you're afraid, go into your room and I'll see for myself."

"No, I'll stay with you."

Yu Fan frowns, "I don't need your company."

As soon as she finished speaking, the female ghost suddenly rushed to the camera and gave a close-up of her life, Yu Fan was suddenly hugged more tightly, and her whole body was embraced. Chen Jingshen's eyelids, the tip of his nose, and his lips were all pressed onto Yu Fan's neck.

After a while, Chen Jingshen asked, "Is the ghost gone?"

Yu Fan was a bit tickled by the air he exhaled from his speech, and disgustedly raised his palm to cover Chen Jingshen's eyes, "Nope, still chasing people, eyes closed."

It's a bit long, with the protagonist and the female ghost in a spectacular tug-of-war, and Yu Fan is watching in rapt attention when he suddenly gets a lick on the neck.

Chen Jingshen inclined his face, grinding the skin under his ear very slowly. Yu Fan instantly went numb, and wanted to push the person away, but when he saw the female ghost flashing on the screen again, he let it go.

Yu Fan sat on the sofa, being stimulated by the images in the movie, and at the same time being stimulated by his boyfriend. In order to watch the movie, there was no light in the room, Chen Jingshen's lips and tongue slowly passed by his neck, behind his ear, and on the side of his face, and everywhere he touched was hot and dry.

When the climax of this episode is over, Yu Fan pushes his head away and while scolding Chen Jingshen for the next time I watch a movie you get as far away as you can, he rolls over and sits across Chen Jingshen's lap, lowers his head and kisses him, and then does it.

They've all been so proper and ridiculous this week. It's a bit hard to stop when you're eating your heart out and your favorite person is around.

Every time you finish, Yu Fan always half dead in the pillow cursing. Chen Jingshen looked at Yu Fan neck, back, tail vertebrae ...... and many other places above their own "sins", but also silently make a few days do not toss the intention.

Then continue next time, repent again, and the cycle repeats itself.

This time they were on the couch from start to finish. Both of them were sweaty and sticky where they were pressed against each other, and they stayed in an embracing position, Yu Fan laying on his shoulder for a moment to slow down, then poked him with her chin and lazily said, "Let go, I want to watch a movie."

"It's over." Chen Jingshen said, "Hold it again."

"?"

Yu Fan was baffled: "Finished?"

"Uh-huh. Eggs to watch?"

"Look at you." A ferocious and little forceful curse.

Chen Jingshen stroked his slightly convex spine in silence for a moment and said, "Yu Fan, it's snowing outside."

"Isn't it down these days?"

Chen Jingshen Hmmm, "Do you think it will affect tomorrow's flight."

"......"

The seven-day vacation had come to an end, and a client had booked a photo shoot for Sunday at noon. Yu Fan had booked an early morning flight back to Ningcheng tomorrow.

Chen Jingshen asked, "Rescheduled to the day after tomorrow?"

"No snow the day after tomorrow?"

"I don't know, maybe." Chen Jingshen responded diffidently.

"......"

Yu Fan sat up straight and lifted Chen Jingshen's face up.

"Chen Jingshen, don't be pretentious." The red flush on Yu Fan's cheeks hadn't dissipated yet, and he patted Chen Jingshen's hair, his eyes half-lidded, like the kind of scummy guy who says nice things to perfume people, "I'll come back next time."

Chen Jingshen pressed the tip of her nose against his and said cooperatively, "Uh, I'll wait for you."

-

Chen Jingshen feels that she knows her boyfriend quite well. Usually look fierce, but in fact the heart is very soft, also good to talk, fun or coaxing, although before leaving is a look of pulling x ruthless, but in fact will not be like that--

He thought so at first.

At the end of his work, Chen Jingshen picked up his cell phone and looked at WeChat. The "Good morning" he sent at nine in the morning, the "Have you eaten?" he sent at twelve in the afternoon, and the "Can we video tonight?" he asked two hours ago, have not gotten a single reply so far.

The takeout he ordered for "Moonwatch Studio" was delivered successfully.

Yu Fan went back for half a month, it was almost always like this in the past half a month, and he talked a lot less during the video at night, and he guessed that the other party's retouching software had obscured the video interface to a great extent.

Chen Jingshen into the elevator when he met the same off-duty Luo Liyang, the two greetings, Luo Liyang took this opportunity to gossip with him: "Why do not you recently go downstairs to eat with the object?"

"He went back."

Luo Liyang gave a long, oh-so-long, "Right, I forgot you guys were in a long-distance relationship."

Hearing this word, Chen Jingshen blinked without much emotion, and finally did not retort.

"Long-distance relationship is a little bit of hard work, I understand. I also had a long-distance relationship in college, can't see people especially want to, then poor, I save money to save money to go to her, save half a month, it's hard to get to her ......"

Chen Jingshen : "And then what?"

"She turned me green." Luo Liyang sighs, "She's been talking to her new boyfriend for three months."

"......"

Luo Liyang felt inappropriate after saying this, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, you and your partner definitely won't be in this situation! Hey, let's not talk about this, anyway, there is no one to accompany, why don't we go to dinner? A new barbecue restaurant just opened downstairs, brother's treat."

"No." Chen Jingshen said, "Something came up today."

Luo Liyang froze: "What is it? You have another date? Wait, Shen, you're not the one who went rogue in a long-distance relationship ......."

Chen Jingshen did not bother to play along with him and waved as he stepped out of the elevator, leaving the man behind.

Today is Ji Lianyi's 49th birthday, and his grandmother called early in the morning, asking him to come back after work. Ji Lianyi herself didn't say anything, but in the afternoon she posted a friend circle with a picture of her handmade crab buns and tomato beef brisket, which were Chen Jingshen's favorite food when he was a kid.

Chen Jingshen glanced at the flowers and gift box on the passenger side, started the car, and had just driven two meters when his cell phone thumped.

[-: Just got done]

Photography stores are this busy at the end of the year?

Chen Jingshen held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the voice: "Takeout is here, remember to eat. Video tonight?"

A one-second message came back, Chen Jingshen pressed down and just heard a "hmm", the screen suddenly shrunk: the other party withdrew a message.

The next instant, another voice was sent, this one much longer.

"Video can't be done, I still have work at night." There was a faint sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and his boyfriend threw down a sentence in a hurried tone, "No more chatting Chen Jingshen, I'm very busy."

"......"

-

Ji Lianyi didn't invite many guests for her birthday this year, but her mother's family has many relatives, so it was still a big round table to sit at.

Chen Jingshen came off work a little late and entered the house when the others were already on the table. In the past few years, the relatives have seen the change in the relationship between mother and son in their eyes, and they all subconsciously put away their voices when they see him.

Ji Lianyi wore a dark green knee-length dress and light makeup today. She had recovered well over the past two years, her medication had been completely stopped, and the ten pounds or so that she had lost from her previous bout of weight loss had also been gained back, and at first glance, except for the vague wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was not far from her former self.

Only the seat next to Ji Lianyi was empty at the round table. Chen Jingshen sat down and handed over the gift, "Happy Birthday, Mom."

After waiting for two seconds, no one answered, the table was in an awkward situation, but Chen Jingshen was used to it. He was just about to get up and put the gift behind him when his hand suddenly lightened.

The gifts and flowers were received by Ji Lianyi, who said, "Eat."

Both mother and son had their usual cold expressions, and the others at the table were briefly surprised for a short while before they began to eat and talk about family matters.

Talking about a certain island perfect for winter travel and the upcoming New Year.

Talking about Mrs. Ji's vision, the price of a certain piece of land bought two years ago has skyrocketed due to the development plan. Mrs. Ji waved her hand and said that it had nothing to do with her vision, but that she had bought it to give Chen Jingshen the opportunity to start his Internet company, but unfortunately her grandson wanted to work on his own and didn't want it.

Ji Lianyi's ex-husband has failed in his business and is about to go to jail, and he is trying to find someone to help him, but he can't find anyone to help him. Ji Lianyi didn't say anything, but raised her glass three times during the conversation.

Chen Jingshen has never been interested in these things, but it's not appropriate to be the first to leave. So after cutting the cake, he went to the balcony alone, planning to wait for the first guests to leave.

Chen Jingshen took out his cell phone, intending to secretly break his boyfriend's record when he was not available, so when Ji Lianyi pushed out the door, what he saw was his son holding his cell phone playing the Snake game, which is suitable for children under eight years old.

Chen Jingshen glanced back at her, and with a slip of his finger, the sound effects of the Snake stopped. The balcony slammed into silence, with only the occasional wisp of cool air darting between the mother and child, as if anticipating the sparks that would ignite between them.

Chen Jingshen has come back very rarely in the past few years, and nine times out of ten, he has gotten into an argument with Ji Lianyi - or rather, Ji Lianyi has gotten into a one-sided argument and lost control.

But she began to always try to communicate calmly, as she was doing now.

Ji Lianyi handed Chen Jingshen the jacket he had left on the chair, "Put it on, it's cold outside."

Chen Jingshen took it, "Thank you."

"Busy at work?"

"Not bad."

Ji Lianyi nodded. After a moment of silence, he asks, "Looking at the pictures you posted, you went to Ningcheng some time ago?"

"Uh-huh."

"I hear there are a lot of water sports there, have you tried them yet?"

"Nope."

"You can try it next time you go, didn't you like diving when you were a kid?" Ji Lianyi took out her cell phone and said naturally, "I have a partner's son, the same age as you, who says he really enjoys this type of activity, so if you want to travel in the future, you guys can hook up."

The phone thumped, and a WeChat business card was pushed over. Chen Jingshen stared at the other person's avatar for a few seconds before putting his phone back in his pocket.

Ji Lianyi frowned lightly and was just about to say something when Chen Jingshen opened his mouth first: "Mom, I'm going to Ning Cheng to look for someone."

Ji Lianyi froze. Somehow, she already had a vague premonition in her heart, but she still couldn't help but ask, "Who is ...... looking for?"

"Yu Fan."

Having received the expected answer, Ji Lianyi realized that she was actually not as excited as she thought she would be.

Maybe it was because Chen Jingshen had never shied away from mentioning this person in front of her in the past few years.

I don't know how many times I've heard this name, but Ji Lianyi inevitably thought of that boy again. With his thick, messy hair, thin, fair cheeks, and narrow, cold eyes, he was just like an uneducated school bully.

At first, she thought that driving this punk away was a victory, thought that Chen Jingshen was just going down the wrong path because of her youthful ignorance, and thought that she would be able to correct this mistake easily right away.

But she forgot that Chen Jingshen is her son.

They share the same stubbornness.

After Yu Fan left, they had a big fight and she thought of many embarrassing ways to "save" her son.

Not long after, Chen Jingshen left home and never used a penny of his family's money again. With the money he earned from scholarships and writing code, he finished his education, entered the company, and entered the society, without any involvement from his mother in the long process of growing up.

But Chen Jingshen is not completely gambling with her, on holidays, birthdays, or his own opening, he will come home. Just when she asked about his recent days, he would give a cold explanation, went to Fenhe, went to Jingan ...... to do what? Looking for Yu Fan.

And then there was the argument.

After years of this, Ji Lianyi finally got tired. Maybe it's because she's getting older, or maybe she's experienced too many disappointments, she's been able to accept the imperfections of certain people or things. She compromised that if she liked a man, then she liked a man, as long as he was good enough.

But Chen Jingshen is like a silent broken stone.

I don't know if it's because he's been drinking, but Ji Lianyi is unusually calm at the moment.

In fact, at some point, she had a flash of this thought - would it be better for him to find Yu Fan?

Six years on, what's become of those punks? I'm afraid he's gone astray, or worse. Will Chen Jingshen come to his senses after removing the filters of his youth?

"Find him, and then what?" Ji Lianyi asked softly, after a long silence on a cold winter night.

"We continued to talk." Flying snow drifted diagonally into the balcony, Chen Jingshen's head was stained with a few flakes of white, "I still like him, and I will marry him in the future. When that time comes, I will invite you over if you wish."

-

Chen Jingshen had things on his mind and drove slowly on the way home.

He had been prepared for an argument, so much excitement this time, and perhaps a slap in the face, like six years ago.

But no.

Ji Lianyi didn't explode, or even speak, after he'd stomped all over the minefield. She just stood without a word until the first guests said they were leaving, when she finally turned around and went back inside.

She said, "It's snowing hard, so be careful driving back."

Back in the neighborhood parking lot, Chen Jingshen sat in his car for a while before getting out and going upstairs.

He looked at himself in the elevator wall and thought that Yu Fan had been right about something; he was incredibly relaxed and cozy at the moment, but it did seem a little hard to tell from his facial expression.

Thinking about it, Chen Jingshen took out his cell phone and wanted to ask his long-distance relationship boyfriend if he was busy.

Just as he sent it, the elevator doors slid open and a crisp message beep came from outside the door.

Chen Jingshen This house has one staircase and one family, and it can't go up without an elevator card. His family has two elevator cards, one in his hand and the other ......

Chen Jingshen Suddenly looked up and saw three huge and incomparable suitcases.

And the boyfriend he was just about to contact was now sitting with his back against the wall on the biggest piece of luggage.

At the sound of movement, Yu Fan turned his head, deadpan, and trailed off, "Surprise--"

Then disgruntled, "Back too late, Chen Jingshen."

Chen Jingshen stood in the elevator for a while and didn't come out until the elevator door sounded the alarm.

"Went back home." Opening her mouth and realizing that her voice was a bit muffled, Chen Jingshen rolled her throat a bit before saying, "Why didn't you say so before you came."

"Told you it's still a surprise?"

"Why don't you go in?"

"Going in is still a surprise?"

Justified.

Chen Jingshen looks down, "Are these surprises too?"

"Silly you, these are my clothes."

Yu Fan coughed and lifted his chin to ask solemnly, "Chen Jingshen, let's share a room."

"......"

Chen Jingshen stepped forward to swipe his fingerprints to open the door and said, "No."

"?"

Yu Fan sat still for two seconds, just about ready to jump off his suitcase and leave.

Then Chen Jingshen grabbed the luggage pole and pushed him into the house with his suitcase.

"It's not sharing a room, it's living together."
