“Get out if you’re not sleeping!”
With Chu Boyang here, she naturally wouldn’t face him.
But the next moment, Chu Boyang lifted the blanket and lay in front of her.
She moved back a little, but Chu Boyang pressed her waist.
“What are you doing?”
Chu Boyang inched closer to her. “Sleep.”
Ji Fengmian frowned and wanted to move away from him, but he was restrained.
“Chu Boyan,” she said in a threatening voice.
Chu Boyang didn’t let go. He looked up at Ji Fengmian with an aggrieved expression.
“I didn’t sleep last night.”
The man’s sudden change stunned Ji Fengmian.
Was he crazy?
Was a man in his teens suddenly acting pitiful in front of her?
Taking advantage of Ji Fengmian’s daze, Chu Boyang buried his head and closed his eyes before hugging Ji Fengmian’s waist.
Ji Fengmian’s body stiffened. “Chu Boyang!”
“… Sleep a little more. If you don’t sleep well, you’ll age quickly.”
Ji Fengmian was speechless.
In fact, before Ji Fengmian fell asleep, how could Chu Boyang really fall asleep?
Ji Fengmian struggled a few more times, but Chu Boyang didn’t let go of him.
Left with no choice, Ji Fengmian could only maintain his posture and fall asleep again.
Only when Ji Fengmian’s breathing calmed down did Chu Boyang open his eyes slowly. His eyes were bloodshot.
However, he couldn’t bear to even blink as he stared at her. Even his breathing was restrained.
She was afraid that the scent would turn the face in front of her into a mirage.
It had been too long since he had looked at her so quietly.
This scene was too precious and beautiful.
Ji Feng woke up at eight, more than an hour later than usual.
Chu Boyang lay quietly beside her. Even though he was resting, she could still see the fatigue on his face.
More than twenty years had passed.
Everyone had to be pushed by time.
Pursing her lips, she moved her body and realized that she could move again.
She got out of bed and went to another room to wash up.
After confirming that she had left the room, the man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
With Mian lying quietly in front of him, how could he bear to fall asleep?
If he didn’t know that she was really going to get up this time, he wouldn’t have let her leave.
But with her temper, she wouldn’t be nice to him.
However, he was already happy that she allowed him to sleep beside her.
He was greedy, but this was enough.
After lying quietly for a while, he lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Ji Fengmian had just finished washing up when he saw Chu Boyang standing in front of her. He had slept for a few hours, but the fatigue on his face seemed to have worsened.
Ji Fengmian glanced at her coldly. “What’s the matter?”
“Where do you plan to go today? I’ll send you out in a few days.”
Ji Fengmian paused and looked at Chu Boyang in the full-length mirror in front of the wardrobe.
She didn’t intend to care about the question just now, but when she saw Chu Boyang’s tired and haggard face in the mirror, her face turned colder.
“Don’t tell me you were pretending to be asleep just now.”
“… I’m asleep.”
“It’s a nice day today. I want to bring the flowers out to bask in the sun. I’m not going out.”
A smile appeared on Chu Boyang’s face. “I’ll help you.”
“Don’t disturb me. It’s a happy thing to admire the flowers. Don’t ruin my mood.”
As she spoke, she threw the comb aside and walked out of the bedroom. When she went downstairs, she had already changed into a casual outfit.
It was in line with her plan to move the flowers and bask in the sun.
After watching her finish her breakfast, he found a shovel and a kettle and walked towards the backyard. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
After arranging for two servants to help her, he went upstairs.
Through the back window of the study, she could clearly see the backyard. Ji Fengmian was wearing gloves and carrying the flowers out with the servants. He looked naturally and proficient.
Ji Fengmian, who had been quietly watching Ji Fengmian work for a long time, suddenly turned his head.
His gaze was exceptionally cold. As if he had been stabbed by something, Chu Boyang took two steps back and obediently closed the blinds.
Feeling that there was nothing else, she returned to her room and lay on the bed.
After a sleepless night, it was easy for her to fall asleep.
When she woke up, the light outside was blinding.
Her gaze swept across the room before landing on the alarm clock beside her. She seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly got out of bed.
Running downstairs, Ji Fengmian was sitting on the sofa watching television.
She only glanced at him indifferently when he came down, but she took in his obviously flustered expression.
Chu Boyang was relieved. “Have you had lunch?”
Ji Fengmian didn’t look at him. “Why not? Do you think I’m stupid?”
Chu Boyang nodded. “It’s good that you ate it.”
He was the foolish one.
Not long after he finished his lunch, Chu Juncheng appeared.
Behind him were the same two people from yesterday.
Chu Boyang’s face darkened.
He looked at Ji Fengmian almost immediately and suddenly felt uneasy.
She stood between the sofa and Chu Juncheng and clumsily attempted to blind him.
The way she looked at Chu Juncheng was terrifyingly sinister.
“Go to the study and wait for me!”
Chu Juncheng retracted his gaze from the sofa and said calmly, “Let the doctor take a look at your condition. If it improves, I’ll bring them away.”
Chu Boyang’s anger surged.
She glanced at Ji Fengmian nervously.
Ji Fengmian was unmoved.
“Didn’t she tell you? She knew about your situation yesterday morning. You don’t have to pretend in front of her.”
Chu Boyang’s face froze and he looked at Ji Fengmian.
After pondering for a few seconds, her eyes seemed to be swept away by a tornado.
“What did you say to her?”
The sound of the television stopped abruptly.
Chu Boyan turned.
Ji Fengmian stood up from the sofa.
“They said you’re mentally ill.”
Chu Boyang’s face paled. “I didn’t…”
“Chu Boyang, you’ve been locked in the study since yesterday afternoon. At least after ten in the evening, you returned to the bedroom and sat on the floor beside my bed for the entire night. I thought that this wasn’t something a normal person should do.”
“Mian… ”
“So don’t try to pretend. I do whatever I want and I don’t care about other people’s feelings. Living with a mentally ill person, who knows if one day, I’ll provoke you and you’ll go crazy and hurt me…”
“I don’t know how!”
“Can you promise me that?”
“I promise!”
Ji Fengmian chuckled. “Me too. I asked you such an unnecessary question and you want me to believe the guarantee of a mental patient?”
Calling him a lunatic sounded especially uncomfortable to others.
Chu Juncheng frowned deeply.
She knew what she was like, but she still had to do it.
If he continued to pester her, he would go crazy.
However, Chu Boyang didn’t seem angry at all.
Her hands hung by her sides and she lowered her head slightly, looking helpless.
“I won’t hurt you.”
Ji Fengmian smiled faintly. “I don’t believe you.”
Chu Boyang could tell that she was mocking him.
Whether it was in the past or now, she didn’t believe him.
And he had no reason to trust her.
“What should I do? You said that you love me and forced me to stay by your side. You said that you wanted to take care of me and compensate me, but in the end, you’re like this. I have to consider not being hurt by you at all times. Chu Boyang, be it in the past or now, is your so-called love going to torture me time and time again? Will you only let it go after I lose something from you?”
Chu Boyang was silent, his eyes and body filled with despair.
“Please… trust me again.”
She didn’t believe what he had said before.
Now that he was sick, she would not believe him.
He knew.
But what else could he do? He couldn’t let her go.
Chu Boyang’s current appearance and his “beg” made the atmosphere in the living room sink into a dull silence.
At that moment, Ji Fengmian suddenly felt that all the oxygen in the room had been sucked away. He felt suffocated.
She blinked and her fingers trembled a few times, suppressing the bitterness that surged out of her body.
This man was familiar to her, but not to her.
Back then, Xiao Shuxuan was a tall and handsome man with a proud aura. His words and actions were calm and confident. He was undoubtedly a genius.
But now, his arrogance and confidence could no longer be found. All that was left was the skin in front of him. He was careful and humble.
Even Chu Juncheng had never seen Chu Boyang like this.
The man knew the other man’s pride and dignity too well.
Given Chu Boyang’s current state, he had no choice but to push the blame to Ji Fengmian.
At the very least, she had destroyed her father’s dignity and pride.
Chu Boyang locked his gaze on her face. The anticipation and avoidance made him fall into a self-contradictory cycle.
Ji Fengmian gripped the shawl in front of him tightly. After a long silence, he slowly looked at Chu Boyang and said,
“Chu Boyang, do you remember the birthday present you gave me at the orphanage?”
Chu Boyang paused and his eyes darkened again.
“I remember.”
“I found the empty glass bottle on the window sill in the bedroom yesterday.”
“I wanted to… see what wishes you have, but you never seem to use it.”
Ji Fengmian nodded. “I didn’t have to worry about food and clothing in the past, so I naturally don’t need it. But I plan to use it now.”
