Shen Jun couldn't understand what was wrong with Gu Jingzhou. He was always so moody. He could be fine one second and turn hostile the next.

Looking at the closed door, Shen Jun pursed his lips and hesitated for a few minutes before standing up and walking to the bedroom door. Gu Jingzhou just closed the door but did not lock it, but Shen Jun still knocked politely before entering.

Of course, there was only a long silence in response to him. Shen Jun stood at the door and had no intention of going in. He just discussed with Gu Jingzhou through the door with his strange and hoarse voice: "I can go out and rent a house. If you are afraid that I will run away, I can come to report to you every day..."

"If you're still worried, I can leave my ID with you... I..."

Shen Jun's words were ruthlessly interrupted by Gu Jingzhou, "Go to sleep, don't bother me, and don't talk to me until your hoarse voice is healed."

Shen Jun: “…”

After the negotiations failed, Shen Jun had to return to the living room silently. The door was still locked and he couldn't get out. The bedroom door was also closed and he didn't dare to open it.

The two doors separated three worlds, one leading to freedom, one leading to Gu Jingzhou, and the other trapped him who was at a loss.

The next morning, the ringing of a phone broke the silence in the room. Although there was a door between them, Shen Jun still heard Gu Jingzhou's voice.

"If you can't even solve this little problem, I don't think there's any need for you to stay in Gu Group. Maybe it would be more suitable for you to receive government relief."

The bedroom door was opened, and Shen Jun stood up from the sofa. Like a meerkat, he looked at Gu Jingzhou who pushed the door open with his messy hair.

Gu Jingzhou obviously didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Jun. He held the phone in one hand and quickly dressed himself with the other, but he paused before going out.

Gu Jingzhou turned around and looked at Shen Jun who was standing in a daze on the sofa. He seemed to have thought of something. He said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Let's do it this way first. I'll be at the company in half an hour," and then hung up.

Shen Jun still stared at Gu Jingzhou, unable to tell what he was expecting. He heard Gu Jingzhou say, "Didn't you say you were going to work? Are you lying here waiting for me to carry you?"

"You promised to let me out?" Shen Jun's eyes lit up almost instantly. He stood up from the sofa with a smile on his face that he didn't even notice, and looked at Gu Jingzhou with anticipation.

Gu Jingzhou glanced at his watch and answered him nonchalantly, "Ten minutes. If it's longer than that, you won't be able to go out today."

"No need! I'll be there soon!" Shen Jun said as he picked up his clothes and rushed into the bathroom. Gu Jingzhou calculated the time and saw that Shen Jun came out of the bathroom at the eighth minute.

He had obviously washed up, and his messy hair was tidied up, but his clothing taste was still terrible. The clothes, which had no texture to begin with, were wrinkled on him and looked tacky and ugly.

"It's really ugly." Gu Jingzhou commented mercilessly. Shen Jun looked down at the white shirt on his body that he had washed countless times. Although it was a bit old, it was not ugly...

But Shen Jun looked at Gu Jingzhou again. Gu Jingzhou was also in a hurry to go out, but he was wearing his suit and vest, and even tied himself a Windsor knot that Shen Jun could never learn.

A simple silver-gray suit makes Gu Jingzhou's nearly perfect figure look even more upright and outstanding, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and smooth muscle lines. Although his hair is not well-groomed, it does not affect his handsomeness at all.

Well, compared to this, Shen Jun's outfit is indeed a bit ugly...

Shen Jun was driven to the coffee shop by Gu Jingzhou. Gu Jingzhou probably had some urgent matters to deal with, so he just dropped Shen Jun off and drove away without saying a word.

Shen Jun stood on the side of the road, staring at the car going away, stunned for a moment, then turned and walked into the coffee shop.

Zhou Tingyue came especially early today. When he saw Shen Jun coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing and went forward to ask Shen Jun how things were going at home.

Shen Jun just said a few perfunctory words and then left, making the excuse that he needed to change his clothes.

He was afraid that if Zhou Tingyue asked a few more questions, he would be exposed. Shen Jun was really not good at lying.

There weren't many customers in the store, only four or five people were sitting sparsely. Shen Jun watched Zhou Tingyue finish making the coffee ordered by the customer and was about to bring it over when he heard Zhou Tingyue ask him, "Brother, I heard from the boss that you moved out of the employee dormitory?"

Shen Jun paused with his coffee in hand and said, "Haha, yeah... that place is too small, so I changed to another place."

Shen Jun immediately ran away with his coffee. The more Zhou Ting asked, the more he didn't know what to say. Based on the principle of saying more, making more mistakes, Shen Jun planned to ignore Zhou Tingyue the whole time. In this way, he shouldn't ask any more questions...

But just as Shen Jun finished delivering the coffee and turned back, Zhou Tingyue came up to him again, "Brother, what's wrong with your throat? I asked you just now but you didn't tell me..." Zhou Tingyue's tone contained a hint of grievance, and Shen Jun felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.

"No... I just caught a cold. It should be fine in a few days." Shen Jun explained haltingly.

Zhou Tingyue saw that Shen Jun's face was ruddy and he didn't look like he had a cold, but he thought that there was no need to lie to him so he gladly accepted it. "I have some cold medicine here, it's very effective, brother, do you want to try it?"

"No... no need, I've already eaten..."

As Shen Jun was talking, Zhou Tingyue suddenly moved closer. Zhou Tingyue's light breath sounded beside Shen Jun's ear, "Brother, what kind of shower gel are you using? It smells really good."

Shen Jun raised his elbow to the tip of his nose and smelled it, but he didn't find any smell. As if he remembered something, Shen Jun blushed and immediately explained: "Just... I just bought it at the mall."

Zhou Tingyue sniffed it a few more times and felt that the fragrance seemed very familiar, but it was too faint, almost disappearing. Zhou Tingyue could only grasp the tail of the fragrance, and it disappeared without a trace before he could savor it. When he wanted to smell it again, it had already dissipated in the air, as if the fragrance just now was just an illusion.

"Oh... Brother, you have really good taste." Zhou Tingyue praised generously. Shen Jun found it a little funny for a moment. This morning, he was criticized by someone for his poor taste in clothes, and now he was said to have good taste.

Although Zhou Tingyue didn't know that the fragrance he praised as tasteful was actually a mark left on the Beta by a shameless Alpha, it was a pity that the Beta without glands could not retain the smell of pheromones at all. It had become so faint that there was no trace of pheromones, and only a pitiful little smell remained.

The whole day was not very busy. Zhou Tingyue had classes in the evening and left early. Shen Jun was alone in the store waiting for closing.

At nine o'clock, Shen Jun's mobile phone suddenly received a message alert tone. The person who marked himself as the creditor sent him two messages. The first one was around ten o'clock in the morning, asking him if he had eaten, and the other one was now.

Creditor: It seems he starved to death.

Shen Jun:......

Then another message popped up: You saw the message and dared not reply, Shen Jun, you have become more capable.

How did he know that he had seen the message? Shen Jun looked around quickly, fearing that he would see Gu Jingzhou standing in a corner staring at him, but the fact was... there was no one around.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jun replied to Gu Jingzhou's message.

Shen Jun: How do you know I saw the message?

Creditor: It seems that you really saw the message and deliberately did not reply.

Damn, I fell into a trap. Shen Jun was almost killed by his own stupidity. It turned out that the cunning businessman was impossible to trust.

Shen Jun: I didn’t mean to not reply.

Creditor: Curb is on at 10pm. If you can’t get back in time, you’ll have to sleep on the street.

Shen Jun didn't know what to say for a moment when he was holding the phone. A few days ago, when Gu Jingzhou was susceptible, he saw Shen Jun using his phone to contact others, and for some reason he had to pester Shen Jun to add him back and added all of Shen Jun's social channels.

Shen Jun was so pestered that he had no choice but to fulfill his wish. He took out his mobile phone and released the person who had been on the blacklist for five years.

But who knew that Gu Jingzhou was seriously ill. Not only did he add the contact information, he also snatched Shen Jun's phone and wanted to transfer all the money on him. Shen Jun thought that he had to return the money anyway, so he didn't care much.

But now, when Shen Jun opened his mobile phone to check his balance, he found that Gu Jingzhou had only left him fifty yuan!
