Chapter 1454: Sinking into oblivion-call me third sister- in-law, and Ill 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 Rens face, making people unable to look away.

Ji Chenzhous grip on the steering wheel tightened when he saw the smile on na Rens 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 Mengs arm that was holding Narens.

Ji Chenzhou didnt 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 bins 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 bins suppressed voice came from the other end of the phone.

n

Bin Zi, youre my best brother, so dont 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 couldnt be helped, Qin Nan and tan Meng both liked this color.

He didnt have any concept of cars. In fact, he preferred bicycles

its good. Come in. Little seven and little nine have been talking about you!

Chu baiqing touched na Rens 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 Chenzhous joke.

She actually called him third sister-in-law

Call me third sister-in. law, theres candy Little seven knocked on little Nines 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

Rens face was red. The two children didnt 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. Lets 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 Rens 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 childs 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 Nines cheerful voices behind him.

ii

Third brother

ii

Why did you come back? Chu Bai Qing asked.

Rens body stiffened.

Ji Chenzhou had arrived

Then, he said, its not Christmas today. Ill definitely come back to spend time with them!

ii

Third brother, third sister-in. law

ii

Little seven pulled Ji Chenzhous 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 baiqings 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 baiqings dining table wasnt 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 Rens 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 Chenzhous 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. Whats 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 didnt 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 Ive 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 Chenzhous mood was at this moment.

ii

If its delicious, then eat more. Youre too thin!

ii

Ren had always been thin, even if Qin Nan cooked in a different way every day.

Ren still didnt gain weight, and he didnt eat much.

On the other hand, tan Meng had gained weight recently, so Qin Nans cooking was not wasted.

Ji Chenzhou was sitting beside him. Even though he was smiling, na Rens entire body was tensed up.

They used to have such an intimate relations.h.i.+p, 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 Rens eyes reddened and he could not control his emotions.

No matter how strong one pretended to be, one action or one sentence could make ones emotions collapse.

Young lord Chu I suddenly remembered that I still have to go Im here to pick up a friend, Ill 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 Chenzhous eyes were fixed on the dishes on the dining table, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Ill go and see him Chu baiqing stood up and saw that na Ren was already crying.

IITI

Ill 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 Rens teary eyes reflected Ji

Chenzhous 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 Chenzhous kiss became more and more intense, while na Rens cries became more and more violent

Their foreheads touched, and their breaths were mixed together

No matter how hard na Ren tried, he couldnt escape from Ji Chenzhous 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 s.h.i.+rt, 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

Im fine Ren opened his mouth gently, his voice a little bitter.

Dont worry Or blame yourself! When Ji Chenzhou hugged na Ren even more tightly, na Ren spoke again.

ii

Ji Chenzhous 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 dont owe each other anything. I was the one who initiated the breakup, so you dont have to feel guilty about it

if you want me to give up photography, Im not willing to either. I think the path Im going to take is probably the same as yours

In fact, there was something else that na Ren didnt say. He couldnt stay by Ji Chenzhous side.

Because Ji Jiu had said, na Ren, you are Ji Chenzhous weak spot

Na Ren was well aware of how dangerous Ji Chenzhous 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 couldnt 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 Chenzhous voice was stifled. How could he be so kind?

Why was it so good

Chenzhou, Im innocent, but Im not stupid. I understand everything

That Ren was referring to Chenzhou, not Ji Chenzhou

If that person hadnt come looking for him, perhaps many things could only be his guesses and he wouldnt be sure.

n

What do you know Im a b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

ii

Ji Chenzhou cupped na Rens face in his hands. This fool, a big fool

I understand you! These three short words were better than a thousand words

ii

Ji Chenzhous eyes were misty with tears, youre a fool

Today was Ji Chenzhou and the little Gremlins 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

Youre so slow. Ive already prepared everything, but you havent finished packing. What would you do without me in the future? youre 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 Chenzhous 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 Jeans nagging, he must not be used to it. No, he could not live without him

n

Ill drive today. You just stay here comfortably!

>i

Qin Nans 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 didnt 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 dealers.h.i.+p 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 didnt expect that danger was approaching them, and they were still talking about what was delicious.
