Sunset Boulevard

Chen Boqiao didn't continue to tease Zhang Jue, he said: "Don't force yourself if you're not sleepy, I don't want to sleep yet."

Zhang Jue let out a dejected "hmm", lay on his side for a while, sat up, and looked at Chen Boqiao.

Chen Boqiao never felt embarrassed by meeting people's eyes, he said calmly: "It's still early, it's normal not to be able to sleep, you don't need to see me."

Chen Boqiao took off his daytime clothes and turned back into a refreshing Chen Boqiao.

Zhang Jue guessed that he used the disposable razor that was placed by the washbasin in the bathroom. Maybe the razor was blunt, or Chen Boqiao was not used to it. Very shallow scratches.

Sensing Zhang Jue's gaze, Chen Boqiao raised his hand to touch his chin, and said with a smile, "I'm shaving urgently."

"By the way," he smoothly cut to the next topic: "Is the operation on the cat finished?"

Zhang Jue reacted for a few seconds, then remembered: "Oh, yes." He got out of bed again, walked to the foot of the bed, leaned over and rummaged through his big bag to find his personal mobile phone.

After turning on the phone, Ai Jiaxi's new message popped up first, followed by a bunch of messages from the receptionist.

Since Chen Boqiao was present, Zhang Jue didn't listen to Ai Jiaxi's message for the time being. He directly opened the text message page, sat back on the bed with his mobile phone, and watched it with Chen Boqiao.

It was only a few hours since Zhang Jue replied "thank you" to Wen Reception, and Wen Reception sent a lot of videos and texts.

Wen Reception sent today's bill to Zhang Jue, saying that the kitten had an operation tomorrow and was adapting well in the hospital, and asked Zhang Jue if he could take the kitten back to his home to raise after the kitten was cured. Regularly send videos to Zhang Jue.

Chen Boqiao seemed to want to know about the situation of the cat. He approached Zhang Jue, reached out and clicked on a video in the chat history, watching the cat playing with the little fur ball with its intact paw for a while.

After watching all the videos and pictures, Zhang Jue pulled the chat history to the bottom, typed "Yes" in the dialog box, and just sent it, Chen Boqiao suddenly said: "He..."

After only saying one word, Chen Boqiao stopped again. He paused, and then continued: "The receptionist of the pet hospital in Thailand is so enthusiastic?"

Zhang Jue thought about it, and told Chen Boqiao the amount of deposit he had paid to the hospital.

"..."

Chen Boqiao gave Zhang Jue an indescribable look.

Zhang Jue read the misunderstanding from Chen Boqiao's eyes, and argued inexperiencedly: "Nowadays there are a lot of news about animal cruelty in pet hospitals."

"Well," Chen Boqiao nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Zhang Jue was very sure that Chen Boqiao was laughing at himself. He wanted to emphasize the necessity of pre-depositing money at the pet hospital so that Chen Boqiao could understand his intentions, but his cell phone vibrated again, and it was Ai Jiaxi's call.

Chen Boqiao and Zhang Jue were very close, so they must have seen the caller's name.Zhang Jue glanced at Chen Boqiao subconsciously, and Chen Boqiao immediately asked considerately, "Do you need me to go out?"

Zhang Jue shook his head and picked it up without hesitation.

"Jiaxi." Zhang Jue said.

Ai Jiaxi was taken aback, and asked suspiciously: "A Jue?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jue asked him.

"Did you answer the phone?" Ai Jiaxi confirmed to him.

Zhang Jue said yes, and Ai Jiaxi asked again: "Did you listen to the message I left you?"

"I haven't had time to listen yet." Zhang Jue said.

"I know you opened the safe," Ai Jiaxi said, with obvious concern in his tone, "Is there something wrong? Are you still in Bangkok?"

"I'm fine," Zhang Jue said, "you don't have to worry."

"Can I not be worried?" Ai Jiaxi was anxious, "The news is overwhelming, I don't think I can't see it, and the key in the bank is your spare." He paused for a few seconds, then said: " I'm in Bangkok and arrived in the afternoon."

Just as Zhang Jue was about to speak, he met Chen Boqiao's probing eyes, paused again, lowered his eyes, and advised Ai Jiaxi, "Bangkok is not fun. Go back tomorrow, be good."

"No," Ai Jiaxi refused straight away, "I still want to enjoy the sensuality in Bangkok. My dad controls me so tightly at home, so I finally got out, so I don't want to go back right away."

"Jiaxi..." Zhang Jue wanted to coax Ai Jiaxi again, coaxing him back, but before he could say anything, Ai Jiaxi interrupted: "Ajue, are you with him now?"

Zhang Jue didn't look at Chen Boqiao, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

"...Then... are you very happy?" Ai Jiaxi asked slowly.

Zhang Jue couldn't hear Ai Jiaxi's emotions, but felt that Ai Jiaxi's question seemed to be hesitant.

But Zhang never knew how to answer this question, so he fell silent.

Ai Jiaxi waited for a while, probably knowing that she would have to wait a long time for Zhang Jue's answer, so she didn't wait, and said directly: "Anyway, you have to be careful. After you bring him to the country, you should also take the matter of the differentiation-stimulating agent into consideration." .”

From the day Ai Jiaxi was born, Zhang Jue has been playing the role of brother and protector.Zhang Jue was not used to being taught by Ai Jiaxi for the first time.

"Got it?" Ai Jiaxi asked persistently.

"I know." Zhang Jue said.

"It's good to have a count, hang up, bye." Ai Jiaxi cut off the phone.

Zhang Jue put the phone away.

Chen Boqiao didn't speak, nor did he intend to ask the truth, so Zhang Jue spontaneously explained: "A friend of mine."

"Your fiancé?" Chen Boqiao asked.

Hearing Chen Boqiao say "fiancé", Zhang Jue was a little surprised, he thought Chen Boqiao didn't know anything about him.

However, what Chen Boqiao said was not particularly accurate, so Zhang Jue made some corrections: "Ex-fiancé."

Chen Boqiao raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "You two have a very good relationship."

Zhang Jue personally thinks that Chen Boqiao should not be interested in his private affairs, maybe he just said it casually, but Zhang Jue still replied: "We had a marriage contract since we were young. After he split up at the age of 14, he became engaged, and later he grew up a little bit. , found that it was not suitable for marriage, and canceled it again."

Chen Boqiao nodded: "You are indeed not like a boyfriend, but like his elder." He imitated Zhang Jue and said, "Go back tomorrow, be good."

Zhang Jue felt that Chen Boqiao didn't imitate him at all. When Chen Boqiao said "be good", he was full of Chen Boqiao's own breath, but Zhang Jue still smiled.

Zhang Jue seldom smiles, he doesn't know if his smile is more unattractive, so he quickly put away his smile.

Chen Boqiao didn't seem to pay attention, and asked Zhang Jue with a smile: "How is it, does it look like it?"

Zhang Jue looked at Chen Boqiao and said nothing, Chen Boqiao knew Zhang Jue's answer, he pondered for a while, and learned Zhang Jue again: "Go back tomorrow, good boy." Zhang Jue couldn't help it again, thinking Turning his back to laugh, Chen Boqiao naturally grabbed Zhang Jue's wrist, not letting him move, and said, "Why are you hiding?"

Senior Colonel Chen's hands were big, hot, and powerful. He didn't let Zhang Jue hide, Zhang Jue couldn't hide.

Zhang Jue thought that Chen Boqiao would always be the kind of person who could easily make others fall in love.

They haven't seen each other for many years. It's been so long that Zhang Jue thinks that what he likes may be the Chen Boqiao he invented. Maybe Chen Boqiao is not that worthy of liking, or maybe Zhang Jue doesn't feel it anymore after seeing him again.

Now it seems that it is all self-deception.

Zhang Jue's love for Chen Boqiao strictly followed the Ebbinghaus method of memory, constantly reciting a meaningless and hopeless thing, and he could never forget it over time.
