Chapter 18 Trust

"It always feels weird." King Jin said while pouring milk. "Tao Jia really left...Why hasn't Brother Hao come back?"

"Speaking of which, why did you come back so quickly last night?" Rhodes said.

"I'm unemployed," King Kim said. "The situation of the proprietress is a bit serious. The boss intends to temporarily close the stall."

"Oh." Rhodes said.

King Jin put down his cup with a bump.

Rhodes: "?"

"I lost my job." King Jin said again. "Unemployed, understand? No job! No salary! No food!"

"I'm sure it won't be that bad," Rhodes said. "I remember you said last time that the rent paid by the father and son and Tao Jia is not a small sum, and our expenditure is not large."

Speaking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but be proud: "And every time I shop, I make sure to compare and screen the discount rules and types of all supermarkets, and there is no one that is not a perfect economic victory."

"Hmm, you did a great job." King Jin said absently. "But the true meaning of life is to increase income and reduce expenditure...Do you understand open source? Otherwise, sooner or later, you will sit on the mountain—Brother Hao?"

Rhodes turned his head and saw Liang Haofei entering the door with a tired expression.

"Keep your voice down." Liang Haofei smiled and exhaled. "The little guy isn't up yet?"

"No, what's wrong with you?" King Jin stared at Liang Haofei, Liang Haofei was so embarrassed that he looked like he had just wrestled with a bear.

Liang Haofei opened the stool with his feet and sat down: "Something happened last night, and there was a lot of trouble."

Rhode inspected Liang Haofei with his eyes: "The left shoulder?"

Liang Haofei raised his eyes: "Can you see it?"

"If you don't want people to see it, you've been covering it up pretty well," Rhodes said.

Liang Haofei: "..."

"Xiao Jin didn't see it." Rhodes pointed out.

"Brother Hao is injured?" King Jin asked.

"I was knocked on a stool from behind, and I turned around quickly, without hitting my head." Liang Haofei didn't care. "No bone."

"What's the matter?" King Jin asked.

"Something happened in the store, and it's ready." Liang Haofei was a little tired. "Don't tell the baby."

King Jin frowned.

"Tao Jia is gone." King Jin told Liang Haofei. "His brother came to pick him up last night."

"Leaving?" Liang Haofei was a little surprised. "Alright, although he didn't say anything, he should also be thinking about going home."

He was not thinking about going home, but thinking about his brother.

Otherwise, how could Rhodes and Lance show such great enthusiasm for eavesdropping? Last night was really... amazing gossip.

Although King Jin knew that Tao Jia was a chaste-looking little gay guy who was actually wretched and unrestrained, but when he heard that this guy drugged his brother and danced a striptease(?) to seduce his brother, he was still scared. Almost rolled off the roof.

Although there is no blood relationship, the relationship between the brothers for so many years is in vain. According to the analysis of the dialogue, Tao Jia may have missed Tao Chuan many years ago.

And Tao Chuan was a little too open about his younger brother's seduction?Either sever the brotherhood or be responsible...

King Jin felt like his worldview had been turned upside down by the brothers.

So much so that when Tao Chuan successfully took Tao Jia away, King Jin still couldn't react.

However, King Jin didn't think it was necessary to say the part about squatting on the roof with the two kings to eavesdrop last night. He simply said that the Lance he met that day was brother Tao Jia's assistant, who happened to be Rhode's old acquaintance.

"Which country is Rhodes from?" Liang Haofei asked suddenly. "I always feel that Rhodes and Lance don't have the same temperament."

"We are from different countries, with different cultures and habits," Rhodes said.

"Aren't you old acquaintances?"

"We—have the same job," Rhodes said.

"Really." Liang Haofei scratched his hair. "How should I put it, Rhodes looks like a European, but Lance feels like he is from a Central Asian country."

King Jin nodded to understand Liang Haofei's point of view - although Lance and Rhodes looked like foreigners, compared with the blond Rhodes, although Lance was also well-defined, his black hair and black eyes were more mysterious desert style.

"That's right." Liang Haofei said. "When I saw him at that time, I could smell the incense on him."

"Is there?" King Jin recalled.

"I have a good nose." Liang Haofei said. "I can smell it from a long distance, and the tip of my nose is a bit sweet. By the way, what does Xiao Jia's brother look like?"

"Pretty handsome." King Jin thought for a while. "At first glance, it looks like an elite, very polite and very distant."

"It's a bit short." Rhodes suddenly interjected.

"Not everyone is like you," King Kim said. "I'm 1.8, brother Tao Jia is a little taller than me, definitely over [-] meters."

It is not a problem to match Tao Jia, who is slightly shorter than King Jin by visual inspection.

"You can't compare yourself with foreigners." Liang Haofei said with a smile. "Brother is [-], and he's still a bit shorter than him."

Rhodes glanced at King Jin and Liang Haofei with an outstanding look.

"What's his brother's name?" Liang Haofei asked casually. "Lance was blocked on the road that morning. He must be very rich."

"Tao Chuan." King Jin said.

Liang Haofei's expression changed. "What?"

"Tao Chuan." King Jin looked at him. "how?"

"It's okay." Liang Haofei smiled bitterly. "Xiao Jia really didn't lie to us."

"Their family... is a well-known underworld?" King Jin blinked.

"I just heard about it." Liang Haofei stood up. "Tao Chuan is not simple, but those things have nothing to do with us."

"Brother Hao, I will be very curious when you say that." King Jin said. "Are they rich? There are countless younger brothers?"

"No, what Tao Chuan is doing now is an open business, but I heard that the things left by his father are being slowly washed away by him." Liang Haofei said. "We'd better go around those things."

"Father?" Tang Le didn't know when he woke up. He climbed out of the bed, stood on the stairs and called Liang Haofei, not forgetting to drag his Garfield.

"Baby." Liang Haofei's expression softened immediately. "Why are you up? Are you wearing shoes?"

The baby held on to the handrail of the stairs and said tenderly that he couldn't find the slippers.

Liang Haofei walked up the stairs in three steps and two steps in parallel. He was about to bend down to hug him, but Tang Le twisted his body to avoid it.

"Smelly." The child accused.

Liang Haofei usually takes a bath first after returning home and then coaxes his son to wake up, but today he was late and didn't have time to wash, so he was immediately disgusted.

King Jin saw that the baby was only wearing thin SpongeBob pajamas, so he stepped forward and picked him up.

Liang Haofei touched Tang Le's feet. "You are not allowed to walk around without wearing shoes, do you know if you are going to catch a cold?"

Tang Le kicked off Liang Haofei's hand, turned around and grabbed King Jin's lapel to yawn.

"Brat." Liang Haofei said with a smile. "I'm going to take a bath, Xiao Jin, help me put him back on the bed, his feet are a little cold."

King Jin nodded and carried Tang Le upstairs.

"Where's Brother Jiajia?" Tang Le put his arms around King Jin's neck.Usually Tao Jia would have breakfast with everyone, but today he didn't see Tao Jia on the stairs, the little guy was looking around.

“He’s home.” King Kim puts him back on the bed. "Don't live with us."

Tang Le sat cross-legged on the bed, raised her head blankly: "Huh?"

"Brother Jiajia has gone home." King Jin said patiently.

Tang Le flattened his mouth.

Tao Jia is a crazy person, and has always been very close to children, cats and dogs, and is the only person in the house who is willing to explore around the house with Tang Le.

"Baby don't cry." King Jin hurriedly coaxed him. "He'll come back to see you, he's just going home, and he'll come back to play with the baby later."

"When is the future?" Tang Le lowered his head and uttered a rare long sentence.

King Jin was taken aback.

"I'm good." The baby said suddenly. "Jinjin don't go home."

King Jin smiled and put Tang Le under the quilt. "This is my home, I'm not going anywhere."

"Baby is the most obedient child I have ever seen." King Jin said to Rhodes. "He was about to cry just now, but he just held back his tears."

"He likes Tao Jia." Rhodes said. "Because Tao Jia believes his Garfield can talk."

"Brother Hao said that brother Tao Jia is not easy." King Jin said. "He said that their family is a gangster... But judging by Brother Hao's appearance, maybe I still think Tao Jia's words are too simple."

"Is Tao Chuan handsome?" Rhodes said suddenly.

King Jin said: "He is more handsome than Tao Jia. And his voice is very sexy."

"Speaking of which," King Jin thought thoughtfully. "Lance is also very handsome, including the men in suits who blocked Tao Jia in the park that day, none of them had the fleshy faces I imagined. Does the current underworld still judge people by their faces?"

"Xiao Jin, don't you think something is wrong?" Rhodes said seriously.

King Jin: "??"

"You're never stingy with complimenting [others]," Rhodes said. "You said that Liang Haofei was very manly, that Lance was handsome, and repeatedly expressed your appreciation for Tao Chuan."

King Jin: "Nonsense, when did I repeatedly express my appreciation for Tao Chuan?"

"You said several times that he is handsome and has a sexy voice." Rhode approached him. "Don't you think it's a little unfair to me? You've never praised me like that."

"If I don't praise you, do you think you are not good enough?" King Jin asked.

"Of course not." Rhodes replied quickly. "Every king needs to know that he is good enough to be persuasive in front of his subjects."

Rhode's face was too close, King Jin subconsciously wanted to back away. "So you don't need to care about my thoughts, and I don't say it, it doesn't mean I think you are inferior to them."

"But you never said it. You can naturally talk about what you think of anyone, but not me." Rhodes said. "You've been very obvious. You've been avoiding me - in every way. You've been avoiding everything about me, and every time I think we've gotten a little closer, you're reminding yourself to repel me, just like now .”

King Jin stood still.

"Look, I really want to blend in here, but you act like you have nothing to do with you." Rhodes smiled, but King Jin was having difficulty breathing.

Most of the time, Rhode's performance would make people think that he is a strange foreigner who loves to watch dog blood dramas and is keen to study supermarket discounts, but when he approaches people like this, King Jin has a feeling of being aggressive.

Even though he was wearing cheap house clothes, Rhodes, who was standing there smiling, looked like a beast ready to go.

This guy wasn't human... King Jin thought to himself, but Rhode's usual disguise was too harmless, and he always made him forget this.

"I don't intend to force you to accept my existence." Rhode suddenly relaxed again. "I know that anything - as long as it is based on compromise, will lose its meaning. But at least you don't ignore my efforts."

"I..." King Jin's throat was dry. "Are you sure? You are already confident enough that you don't need to care about my affirmation."

Rhodes shook his finger. "Little Jin, even a king has a vulnerable side. Anyone who suddenly comes to a world that has nothing to do with him will be at a loss."

King Jin did not speak.

Since Rhodes came out of the book, no matter how he looked at it, whether it was acting cute and eating snacks, staying up late to watch dog-blooded dramas, or cultivating to become a discount expert, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't match up with "at a loss".

Rhodes seemed to know what King Jin was thinking.

"You can treat this as a fledgling plot—don't show such an expression, I said that even a king would be very fragile." Rhodes reached out and stroked King Jin's curly hair, and suddenly approached.

King Jin's glasses slipped between the bridge of his nose.

As if to appease a child who was afraid of nightmares, the touch on King Jin's forehead was very light, but it was very clear.

King Jin stared at Rhodes' neckline which was close at hand - at this distance, he could see his collarbone.

"You were the first person I decided to trust after I was sent here," Rhodes said. "This kind of decision is important to every king. So, of course I care what you think."
