safe in distress

The dumplings in the small electric pot were quickly eaten clean.After they finished eating the dumplings, they tacitly agreed not to mention the past, the two of them just sat there dryly, trying hard to erase all the past.

However, due to the faults in these years, neither Li Shuyang nor Qiao An knew how to alleviate the current embarrassing situation, and they were speechless for a while.

Qiao An's eyes occasionally fell on the empty small electric cooker, occasionally on the corner of the neat quilt, and secretly on Li Shuyang's side face.

Sweeping lightly, like a butterfly not daring to stop.

"you……"

"that……"

They spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time, Joan pursed his lips and whispered.

"Are you going to rest?" He said in a panic, eager to get up, "I'm too full to sleep, if it disturbs you, I'll go out for a walk."

"I can't sleep either." Li Shuyang frowned, the sound of thunder and rain outside the window was still so loud, he didn't want Qiao An to go out and wander around in this weather, it's not that he didn't understand the awkward atmosphere flowing between them, Li Shuyang Qing Clearing his throat, he tried to find a topic that would not be too embarrassing.

"How is the job this time?"

"Preliminary negotiations have been made..." Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief. When he mentioned work, he seemed to put on a layer of armor, and he no longer had embarrassment written all over his face like before.

Mr. Li listened to what he said clearly, and the appearance of the younger Qiao An in the past gradually merged with the person in front of him.

The little prince is now very powerful, more mature and more attractive.

Gravel has to be polished thousands of times before it turns into pearls. What about Joan?

Li Shuyang couldn't bear to guess what the person in front of him had experienced.

Joan is now well-versed in both ways and eloquent, reliable and well-organized in his work, which seems to be a world of difference from the arrogant and naive young master in the past.

Li Shuyang's eyes fell on Qiao An's hands. He recalled the rough touch when he accidentally touched them before, and his heart sank uncontrollably.

"Mr. Li?" Qiao An interrupted his distraction, "Did I just say it clearly enough? Do you need me to add something."

What he said was appropriate and polite, and he was no longer the troublesome and obnoxious ghost in front of Mr. Li.

"No, I already understand."

Li Shuyang restrained his expression, he hid the tenderness in his eyes, hiding it together with his doubts.

------

Joan had the most solid sleep in years.His dear Mr. Li and he breathed the air of the same house, and there was even only a short distance of one meter between them.Joan even wanted to thank the hotel for being small enough to bring them closer.

Qiao An still remembered the first night after Li Shuyang left him, he was lying alone on the large bedroom bed, covered with a double quilt, but he could never wait for another owner.There are still a lot of clothes that Li Shuyang didn't take away in his huge closet, and there are another person's towels and toothbrushes in the bathroom of the master bedroom, but Mr. Li no longer wants to keep them by his side.

Later, his family went bankrupt and all his wealth was lost. Qiao An was completely down and struggling to stand up. He had experienced a lot, but occasionally he still dreamed of Li Shuyang.Sometimes the other party leaves in the dream and wakes up crying.

Sometimes the other party comes back in the dream and wakes up crying.

Time has passed, but Qiao An was once again so close to Mr. Li by mistake.He thought he would be so excited that he couldn't fall asleep, but with Mr. Li's room, even the air seemed reassuring.

Joan fell into such a deep sleep that she didn't even have time to dream a dream as thin as a cow's hair, and the daylight lit up outside the window.

Before he knew it, someone watched him quietly until midnight without closing his eyes.

In the years since he was gone, the little prince has been crowned king.

At this moment, Li Shuyang wanted to find his king from the foggy forest and present him with a laurel crown made of thorns.
