Chapter 1454: Sinking into oblivion-call me third sister- in-law, and I’ll eat candy (4000 words)
Through the wound-down car window, na Ren once again saw Ji Chenzhou. He had not expected Ji Chenzhou to be so calm.
He was still as handsome as ever, but it was obvious that his cold face had lost a lot of weight, and his facial features were more three-dimensional and profound.
The early winter afternoon sun was very dazzling, just like the smile on Ren’s face, making people unable to look away.
Ji Chenzhou’s grip on the steering wheel tightened when he saw the smile on na Ren’s face.
He thought that Ren would turn around and leave when he saw him, but he did not expect that he would smile …
This kind of smile was a kind of relief, a kind of alienation …
Ji Chenzhou also laughed, but his laughter was particularly bitter.
His eyes were fixed on tan Meng’s arm that was holding Naren’s.
Ji Chenzhou didn’t say anything, nor did na Ren. Tan Meng had a faint smile on her face.
This stalemate continued for about three minutes. Just as Ji Chenzhou was about to speak, Ren and tan Meng walked away, and an empty taxi came from behind.
Through the rearview mirror, Ji Chenzhou watched as na Ren helped tan Meng into the car. Then, he saw that na Ren did not even look at him or his car, but directly got into the taxi…
As the taxi disappeared from his sight, Ji Chenzhou looked at the spot where na
Ren had been standing. It was as if no one had stood there and Na Ren had never appeared…
Tan Meng moved in the next day. Qin Nan made hot pot, but because tan Meng was pregnant, she ate clear soup.
The three of them were of similar age, so Qin Nan was definitely the one who would be the joke in the atmosphere while eating and chatting.
Every word he said made Ren and tan Meng laugh.
On the other side, Ji Chenzhou was watching them eat hotpot through the screen.
As he looked at the steaming hotpot, Ji Chenzhou felt that it must be the most delicious food in the world.
The phone on the table kept ringing, and Fan bin’s name flashed on the screen.
Ji Chenzhou only picked up the call when na Ren and the rest started to clear the table and stopped eating.
ii
Chenzhou, must you and Ji Jiu be like this?” Fan bin’s suppressed voice came from the other end of the phone.
n
Bin Zi, you’re my best brother, so don’t try to reason with me.
ii
Ji Chenzhou lit up a cigarette. The ashtray was already full, and it was clear how many cigarettes he had smoked that day.
ii
Chenzhou, I just want you to be well!
ii
Fan bin hung up the phone after he finished speaking. He knew that he could not persuade anyone. The Ji family had always been stubborn.
Christmas
Ren looked at the toy in the front pa.s.senger seat. Sir Jue had called him today, saying that it was Christmas and asked him to come over. There was no one else but the family of four to have a meal together.
Little seven and little nine kept calling him over the phone. Ren also missed them very much, so he agreed.
Sir Jue had specifically said that there was no one else, so na Ren knew that he was referring to Ji Chenzhou.
Ren had bought a car, which was chosen by Qin Nan and tan Meng. It was a beetle, and it was a red one …
Gu Jue was cooking when na Ren arrived. Chu baiqing opened the door for him.
Just like every time he came, Chu Bai Qing still had that rea.s.suring smile on his face.
ii
You bought a car?” Chu Bai Qing saw the red beetle car parked in the yard and asked with a smile.
well, the color is a little …
Na Ren smiled awkwardly. It couldn’t be helped, Qin Nan and tan Meng both liked this color.
He didn’t have any concept of cars. In fact, he preferred bicycles …
it’s good. Come in. Little seven and little nine have been talking about you!
Chu baiqing touched na Ren’s head. This was a habit that he would do whenever he saw na Ren.
ii
Little seven, little nine, come here!
ii
The living room was very warm. Little seven and little nine were wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts. They were crawling around on the sofa and looked very cute.
ii
Third sister-in. law…” Seven said.
Big brother…” Little nine said.
Na Ren did not expect little seven to remember Ji Chenzhou’s joke.
She actually called him third sister-in-law…
Call me third sister-in. law, there’s candy…” Little seven knocked on little Nine’s head and said.
ii
Third sister-in-law…” Little nine had an expression of sudden realization.
She remembered that her third brother had said to be obedient and call her third sister-in-law. She would give her candy…
Ren’s face was red. The two children didn’t know what third sister-in-law meant. All they knew was that there would be sweets to eat.
Come, big brother brought you some toys. Let’s play together!
ii
Ren smiled as she took off her coat and placed it on the sofa. She then took out the toys she had brought.
It was a track and a racing car that needed to be a.s.sembled, which all little boys liked.
little seven, give that to brother… Naren kept emphasizing his brother.
Third sister-in. law, here …” Little seven pa.s.sed a small lane to Renyi and continued to call her third aunt.
ii
The way she called her ‘third sister-in-law’ hurt Ren’s heart.
Gu Jue had finished cooking and asked them to come over to eat.
Little seven and little nine wanted to continue playing even though they did not want to eat. Gu Jue let them be, but Chu baiqing said that it was not good for him to spoil children like this.
The two of them quarreled for a while, and the man looked at them with a smile on his face.
There was someone she loved, and there was a child’s laughter. Even if they were quarreling, it was still so blissful.
This was what he had once yearned for…
In the end, Lord Jue was defeated, and little seven and little nine obediently washed their hands and ate.
Ren walked into the kitchen and heard little seven and little Nine’s cheerful voices behind him.
ii
Third brother…

Third brother…

ii
Why did you come back?” Chu Bai Qing asked.
Ren’s body stiffened.
Ji Chenzhou had arrived …
Then, he said, “it’s not Christmas today. I’ll definitely come back to spend time with them!
ii
Third brother, third sister-in. law…
ii
Little seven pulled Ji Chenzhou’s hand and pointed at na Ren, who was standing at the kitchen door.
He was probably trying to say,’third brother, third sister-in-law is there!’
However, he was not very clear when he spoke …
ii
Go wash your hands … Come over and eat!
ii
Finally, he heard Chu baiqing’s voice.
Na Ren took a deep breath. Na Ren faced him with a smile, just like that day when they were waiting for the bus.
Gu Jue and Chu baiqing’s dining table wasn’t particularly big. It was a heartwarming four-person table, with little nine on one side and little seven on the other.
In the past, when Ji Chenzhou and Na Ren came to eat, they would always sit at the side.
Chu baiqing and Gu Jue were on the other side…
Today, Gu Jue and Chu baiqing were still sitting at the side, so only na Ren and Ji Chenzhou could sit together.
Just as na Ren was about to sit down, Ji Chenzhou pulled out a chair for him out of habit.
Na Ren’s heart ached, thank you …
The only thing that came out of his mouth was a distant “thank you “. After saying that, Ren himself was surprised. These two words came out of his mouth without thinking.
H
I should!” Ji Chenzhou’s expression darkened and his tone turned stiff.
Little seven and little nine bit on their spoons and looked at third brother and third sister-in-law. Their cute eyes were filled with confusion. What’s wrong with third brother and third sister-in-law? Why was he different from usual…
Gu Jue and Chu baiqing really did not expect Ji Chenzhou to return. Before they called na Ren, they had confirmed with him that he was not coming back.
Then Ren, eat!” Chu baiqing saw that Ren was still holding his chopsticks and didn’t eat, so he smiled and picked up a piece of rib for him.
ii
Lord Jue is very good!” Na Ren took a bite of the pork rib and gave Gu Jue a thumbs up.
ii
After doing this and saying this, everyone looked at Ren, because this was something he would never do before.
H
That… I’ve been living with a friend for a long time, so I learned it from him.
ii
Na Ren smiled embarra.s.sedly. Qin Nan was always like this. He would praise everything and even give a thumbs up.
Chu baiqing glanced at Ji Chenzhou, only to see that his knuckles had already turned white from gripping his chopsticks.
Ren had lived with him for so long, but he had not learned anything from him.
One could only imagine how terrible Ji Chenzhou’s mood was at this moment.
ii
If it’s delicious, then eat more. You’re too thin!
ii
Ren had always been thin, even if Qin Nan cooked in a different way every day.
Ren still didn’t gain weight, and he didn’t eat much.
On the other hand, tan Meng had gained weight recently, so Qin Nan’s cooking was not wasted.
Ji Chenzhou was sitting beside him. Even though he was smiling, na Ren’s entire body was tensed up.
They used to have such an intimate relationship, but now, it was so awkward to sit together.
The sourness in his heart made Ren breathless.
Naren had been eating rice with his head lowered, not picking up any food.
When Ji Chenzhou placed a meatball into his bowl, na Ren’s eyes reddened and he could not control his emotions.
No matter how strong one pretended to be, one action or one sentence could make one’s emotions collapse.
Young lord Chu … I suddenly remembered that I still have to go… I’m here to pick up a friend, I’ll be leaving first…”
ii
Ren lowered his head and stood up, walking out as he spoke. He knew that he was a little useless like this.
However, he would rather run away than cry here.
Ji Chenzhou’s eyes were fixed on the dishes on the dining table, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
“I’ll go and see him…” Chu baiqing stood up and saw that na Ren was already crying.
IITI
I’ll go!” Ji Chenzhou stood up abruptly, threw his chopsticks down, and strode out of the room.
ii
When Ren was about to run out of the courtyard, he remembered that he had driven here.
He turned back again. Just as he opened the door and was about to get in, his arm was pulled by a strong force. Before he could react, he was trapped in the car.
When the familiar aura surrounded him, na Ren’s teary eyes reflected Ji
Chenzhou’s cold and devilish face.
Just as Ren was about to say “let go,” his lips were sealed.
There were too many emotions in this kiss: longing, entanglement, anger, heartache…
All the mixed emotions could be felt on the tip of the tongue.
Ji Chenzhou’s kiss became more and more intense, while na Ren’s cries became more and more violent…
Their foreheads touched, and their breaths were mixed together…
No matter how hard na Ren tried, he couldn’t escape from Ji Chenzhou’s embrace.
H
Let me hug you for. while …
n
She did not know if it was because the winter night was too cold and Ji
Chenzhou was only wearing a shirt, but his voice was nasal, as if he was crying
Ren closed his eyes slightly. Forget it, how could he not yearn for this embrace?
ii
I’m fine …” Ren opened his mouth gently, his voice a little bitter.
Don’t worry… Or blame yourself!” When Ji Chenzhou hugged na Ren even more tightly, na Ren spoke again.
ii
Ji Chenzhou’s body trembled. This was his man. He was clearly the one in the wrong, but at this time, he was comforting him …
Ji Chenzhou, we don’t owe each other anything. I was the one who initiated the breakup, so you don’t have to feel guilty about it…
if you want me to give up photography, I’m not willing to either. I think the path I’m going to take is probably the same as yours…
In fact, there was something else that na Ren didn’t say. He couldn’t stay by Ji Chenzhou’s side.
Because Ji Jiu had said, ” na Ren, you are Ji Chenzhou’s weak spot…
Na Ren was well aware of how dangerous Ji Chenzhou’s actions were. Hence, he could not become someone who could attack his weak spot.
Ji Chenzhou needed stronger support and not a time bomb like him.
That was why he was so determined to break up with her. She couldn’t stay by his side, so as not to distract him…
Since Ji Chenzhou was determined to walk his path, the only thing he could do was not to become his burden.
shut up, stop talking…
Ji Chenzhou’s voice was stifled. How could he be so kind?
Why was it so good …
Chenzhou, I’m innocent, but I’m not stupid. I understand everything…
That Ren was referring to Chenzhou, not Ji Chenzhou …
If that person hadn’t come looking for him, perhaps many things could only be his guesses and he wouldn’t be sure.
n
What do you know… I’m a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
ii
Ji Chenzhou cupped na Ren’s face in his hands. This fool, a big fool…
I understand you!” These three short words were better than a thousand words…
ii
Ji Chenzhou’s eyes were misty with tears, you’re a fool…
Today was Ji Chenzhou and the little Gremlin’s engagement banquet.
Some people were looking forward to it, and some people were planning.
Therefore, this day was destined to not be peaceful.
Qin Nan packed his things and urged na Ren to hurry up.
n
You’re so slow. I’ve already prepared everything, but you haven’t finished packing. What would you do without me in the future? you’re really making me worry!”
Qin Nan shouted at na Ren, who was installing the camera.
Na Ren knew that Qin Nan insisted on going out of the city today because the entire country was celebrating. Tonight was Ji Chenzhou’s engagement banquet.
He had already told Qin Nan that he was fine, but he was still worried.
Qin Nan kept talking and Na Ren felt warm in his heart.
If Qin Nan was not by his side, he really did not know what to do.
Without Jean’s nagging, he must not be used to it. No, he could not live without him…
n
I’ll drive today. You just stay here comfortably!
>i
Qin Nan’s driving skills were not bad. After he put away the things, he urged Ren to get into the car.
Ren smiled and pa.s.sed him the car keys. He didn’t want to drive anyway, he preferred bicycles.
That day, when Ren wanted to buy a car, Qin Nan said that he knew the boss of a car dealership and that it would be cheaper, so he brought Ren there.
It was only when they got there that they found out that it was a bicycle shop.
Looking at the bicycles, Ren quite liked them.
When their car left the neighborhood, the two people who were talking and laughing in the car did not realize that there were two cars following them.
They didn’t expect that danger was approaching them, and they were still talking about what was delicious.
