"Your slippers are mine, too,"

Ji Yuedong's self-introduction got him just this sentence. He followed Ji Shu's words and lowered his head. The rabbit slippers on his feet looked a little funny.The gray cotton socks stepped directly on the log-colored floor, and Ji Shu's frowning eyebrows were finally relaxed.

Ji Shu should be a stranger, Ji Yuedong called him again, but he didn't respond, he walked past Ji Yuedong with his head down, walked to the kitchen and brought out the leftover sandwiches.Seeing him ignoring him, Ji Yuedong touched his nose.

When Ji Shu went upstairs, Ji Yuedong didn't say a word to him, he looked at the slippers on the ground, picked them up and put them in the shoe box.

He couldn't fall asleep after waking up, Ji Yuedong glanced at the time, it was two hours before the sun came out, he poured himself a glass of water, sat on the sofa in the living room, took out his notebook and started working.Ji Shu didn't go up to the third floor. He took a sandwich to the small living room on the second floor, turned on the playback device, and a video was projected on the white curtain.

He watched absently, and pressed pause after a while, kicking off his slippers and quietly descending from the second floor.The half-bitten sandwich on the plate looked like it had been eaten by a puppy, with pits and holes.

When Ji Shu walked to the corner of the stairs, he saw a light underneath. He leaned on the wooden stair railing and looked down.A man sitting on a sofa puts on glasses and frowns at the laptop screen, with a white earphone on his ear without a cord, he looks twice

Ji Yuedong was having a video conference and listening to several managers report their financial reports. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the corner of the stairs.Ji Shu was frightened suddenly, his legs softened and he sat directly on the steps, gasping for breath, he grabbed his sleeves and dared not move, praying that the other party didn't see him, but he heard a deep voice, "Ji Shu? "

Ji Shu raised his head in shock, his eyes looked like a small animal in the forest that was disturbed by a hunter, Ji Yuedong spoke softly, "Why are you sitting here?"

Ji Shu's face was flushed, but he still didn't say a word. He got up on the ground, stumbled and turned to go upstairs.

Ji Yuedong looked at him and chuckled, which was heard by Ji Shu.

At dawn, Ji Yuedong ended the meeting and took off his glasses. Ji Yuedong walked outside the house, stretched his arms, and looked at the dawn slowly appearing in the blue sky.He stood for a while, wanted to smoke again, felt his pocket and remembered that there was no lighter.Ji Yuedong coughed, just at that moment, Uncle Liang pushed open the fence door and came in. Seeing that Ji Yuedong had already woken up, he was slightly taken aback, and walked a few steps quickly, "Young Master Ji so early?"

"I can't sleep anymore." Ji Yuedong held a cigarette between his fingers, and Uncle Liang saw it and said, "Do you want to smoke? Xiaoshu can't smell the smell of smoke. There is a special smoking room nearby."

Ji Yuedong waved his hand and put the cigarette back, "No, just quit smoking."

Not wearing a coat, it was still a bit cold standing outside, Ji Yuedong returned to the living room, Uncle Liang asked him what he wanted to eat in the kitchen, Ji Yuedong said it was fine if he was not picky.

Uncle Liang stayed inside for a while, waiting for the quick-frozen dumplings to go into the water. He came out and said, "I'll go upstairs to see if Xiaoshu is awake."

Thinking of last night, Ji Yuedong said, "Let me go and have a look."

When he went upstairs, Uncle Liang took a look from behind and was taken aback, only to realize that Ji Yuedong was not wearing slippers.

Ji Yuedong didn't even make it to the third floor, but as soon as he reached the second floor, he saw a faintly bright light in the small living room, and the image emitted by the projection equipment had ended and was frozen on the white subtitles.Ji Shu curled up on the sofa and fell asleep like a kitten. The white pajamas looked soft, and the white pajamas were exposed from the pajamas.

Thin wrists and ankles.

Ji Yuedong came closer, Ji Shumian was shallow, his slender eyelids were covered with thin veins, looking so fragile, his eyelashes moved slightly, he opened his eyes, and looked at Ji Yuedong in confusion.

The tall adult male was like a lion invading its territory. Ji Shu watched dully and smelled Ji Yuedong's breath. The woody perfume softened his aggression.Ji Shu reacted very slowly, Ji Yuedong looked him up and down, and said to him softly: "Little friend, it's time to get up."

Ji Shu was startled, and when he came back to his senses, his face immediately flushed red, he shrank back like a little hamster, buried his chin in his knee, and looked at Ji Yuedong with wide eyes.

This was the first time Ji Yuedong encountered such a situation. He looked at Ji Shu, and involuntarily slowed down his speech, half coaxing: "Come downstairs, let's have a meal together."

Downstairs, Uncle Liang's dumplings are already out of the pan, steaming hot.Ji Shu has lived here since he was a child, and his Mandarin is not good, but he likes Chinese food.Ji Yuedong sat down and pulled out the chair for him. Uncle Liang gave him the spoon, and he scooped up a dumpling with the spoon.

Ji Yuedong picked it up with chopsticks, and the dumplings dipped in vinegar tasted pretty good.Ji Shu watched him eat one by one without heeding his hand. He was a little anxious, put two into a bowl, swallowed them in one gulp, his cheeks were bulging, and because it was too hot, he covered his mouth and stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat.

Ji Yuedong actually kept looking at him from the corner of his eye. Seeing him like this, he poured a glass of water and pushed it to Ji Shu's hand. Ji Shu took a big sip from the glass, swallowed it and whispered to him, "Thank you."

This was the third sentence Ji Shu said to him, and Ji Yuedong raised his eyebrows and smiled.After they finished eating, Uncle Liang went to the kitchen to clean up. Ji Yuedong and Ji Shu were in the living room, and Ji Shu was sitting on the small single sofa. Ji Yuedong talked to him about returning to China.

In the past few days, Uncle Liang has mentioned the matter of Ji's family to Ji Shu. Ji Shu understands the general idea and knows that Ji Guande is dead.

He knew that Ji Guande was his father, but he hadn't seen him for 17 years, and it was only a title in name.To him, Ji Guande's death may be more like a person who has never met but knows his name. He is as usual, the only abnormality is probably having two nights of nightmares.

At this moment, he looked at the man in front of him, and after Ji Yuedong finished speaking, he whispered: "The market here is very beautiful at Christmas, you...can you go and see it with me?"

"Christmas?"

Uncle Liang just came out of the kitchen, heard their conversation, and continued from the side: "Xiao Shu goes to the Christmas Village to do charity sales every year."

Ji Yuedong asked: "How long will it take?"

Ji Shu blinked, and looked at Ji Yuedong expectantly, "Just wait a week."

Ji Yuedong estimated the time, and felt that there was no serious problem, and it would make Ji Shu happy, and the next thing would be easy to discuss, so he agreed.

Ji Shu was really happy. When he laughed, a small dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he called him "Brother Ji" very politely.

Looking at him, Ji Yuedong understood that Ji Shu was just a child, and he hadn't touched the cunning and suspicious of Ji's family at all, he would kiss whoever treated him well.
