Chapter 16 Boundaries

When he said this, the little guy didn't hide the expectation in his eyes at all, and his attitude was very serious. His dark eyes were burning, like a handful of stars, so bright that it made one's heart fascinated.However, Ke Jinrui's heart was still, and his expression was as calm as before. He covered Guan Zan's lips with his index finger, refusing and also warning: "You know, we are not in this kind of relationship."

Guan Zan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but the small negative emotions were fleeting. He quickly returned to his usual obedient appearance, said "um", and returned to the passenger seat to sit upright.

Ke Jinrui looked at him sideways, and after a while, he took the initiative to untie the suit that bound his wrist, flattened the cover again, and then held Guan Zan's left hand, caressing the delicate skin on the back of his hand as if inadvertently.Different from Ke Su's coldness, this man's palm was thick and warm, and his fingers were slender and strong. Guan Zan was warmed up by the warmth, and his eyes fell on the opponent's hand unconsciously.Out of his professional habits, he subconsciously judged Ke Jinrui's hands, and thought that if he could play the piano, it would be another pleasing scene.

"But there is still a reward." After speaking, Ke Jinrui took Guan Zan's hand and kissed his fingers seriously.When he raised his head again, the two looked at each other, and he smiled and asked, "Is it all right?"

Guan Zan's heart skipped a beat abruptly, he stopped quickly, and replied in a low voice, "It's fine."

He thought, the voice and eyes of this man when he spoke were simply too foul.

The midnight rain outside the window continued, and the water vapor filled the streetscape, turning it into a hazy abstract painting. Because it was difficult to understand, it seemed lonelier than before.

The driving destination is a high-end apartment near the West Second Ring Road.The environment of this community is good. It is a prime location in the center of the city for quietness. There is a large area of ​​landscaping and artificial lakes in the community, and it does not include supporting teaching facilities and shopping malls. It is very quiet all day long.Ke Jinrui's residence is in the center of the community, on the top floor, it is a large duplex with an area of ​​nearly [-], and it also has a fully enclosed terrace.

Guan Zan was a little absent-minded all the way back, and Ke Jinrui concentrated on driving, so he didn't bring up the topic again.

When they got to the door, the anti-theft door lock cylinder rang, and the sound of dog paws pawing at the door panel was immediately heard in the room.Ke Jinrui opened the door, and Galileo poked his head out excitedly, instead of looking for the owner, he whimpered and rubbed against Guan Zan's feet while twisting his buttocks.

Guan Zan was healed, so he didn't bother to change his shoes. He bent down and hugged the little Corgi, pinched his chubby buttocks and stuck out his tongue at it: "Slightly slightly slightly."

Ke Jinrui looked at him from the side, and couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

At this moment, Guan Zan realized that there was still someone there, so he raised his face in embarrassment, and explained, "I kind of like dogs."

"I saw it when I was in Xishan." Ke Jinrui took out a pair of new slippers, motioned to put them on, and then went into the living room without looking back, "I'm usually seldom at home, if you like it, you can take it back and keep it. Although the old man doesn't want to see it, but if you want to support him, the old man will definitely not say anything."

Guan Zan changed into his slippers and followed him: "Mr. Ke is willing?"

The living room on the first floor is very large, more than [-] square meters by visual inspection.Ke Jinrui lives alone, and did not hire a Filipino maid at home. He simply omitted the dining table and TV that are necessary for traditional home decoration, and directly decorated the living room into a large study room, dividing the work area, reception area, and rest area connected to the balcony. district.

Ke Jinrui put the computer bag on the desk, and said indifferently: "What is there to be reluctant about, I didn't buy it anyway."

Galileo didn't know that he was abandoned by his master, and he was struggling to squeeze into Guan Zan's arms, arching his neck with his wet dog's nose.Guan Zan didn't hate being licked very much by the little thing, but his attention was all on the dog, and he didn't listen to Quan Ke Jinrui for a while, let alone pay attention to it.

Ke Jinrui sat down on the high-back chair, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit it.His eyes were always on Guan Zan, watching him being bullied by Corgi endlessly, he was silent for a while, and said, "You used to have a dog too?"

Not seen for half a month, Galileo has grown up a lot, and his weight has dropped a lot.Guan Zan was tired from standing, so he carried it to the balcony, and nestled in the rattan hanging chair in the corner with one person and one dog.

The Finnish designer's hanging chair has a classic Scandinavian aesthetic, shaped like a bird's nest and filled with soft fabrics and cushions.The bird nest swayed, shaking the young man's gentle voice, like a raving before falling asleep, Guan Zan said: "When I was young, my cousin asked my aunt to buy a Saluki in order to bully me. I wanted to train it to be obedient and let it bite me. .”

Ke Jinrui was taken aback, and the smile in his eyes faded a little.

Guan Zan put his arms around Galileo, scratched Corgi's long beak with his fingers, and continued casually: "But I am very popular with dogs, and I often feed the hounds. He has a better relationship with me. He never Listen to what my cousin said, and make him very angry."

"The one who sent you here at noon?" Ke Jinrui asked.

"Yeah." Guan Zan said, "He was spoiled by his aunt, and he has a very bad temper. If something goes wrong, he will take it out on me."

Ke Jinrui asked again: "You ran away from home because of him?"

"After so many years of being beaten, I've gotten used to it. I'm resistant to beatings, and I don't feel much pain. It's only half related to him." Guan Zan said frankly, "The main reason is the conflict with their family. I don't remember much about what happened back then. Clearly, my father died in a car accident, and my mother took me to live with my uncle. The car accident had a great impact on her, and she had mental problems. Once there was no one at home, she filled the bathtub with hot water and cut her wrists committed suicide."

"At that time, I was just in elementary school, and I came back alone, and I saw after opening the door..." At this point, Guan Zan paused slightly, and the hand that was stroking Galileo also stopped.Ke Jinrui heard a slight tremor coming from the hanging chair. After a while, Guan Zan spoke again: "I saw the light red water flowing down the stairs, and there was a big puddle on the floor of the living room."

"I didn't realize what happened at the time. I was too young, so I just thought the faucet wasn't turned off properly. My mother was confused. It wasn't the first time this happened. I wanted to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to lose my temper when my aunt came back and saw it."

"I went up to the second floor and didn't think much about it. I just pushed open the door of the bathroom." Guan Zan's voice calmed down, even with the slightest indifference inside, "Red water is coming out of the bathtub. , the color is darker than downstairs. My mother is wearing a pajamas, her hair is disheveled, her arm hanging outside the bathtub is dripping blood, the incision has been soaked, the cut is deep, and I can see the wrist bone."

"I sat on the floor in shock, didn't know what to do, and then my cousin came back and called an ambulance."

After he finished speaking, Ke Jinrui raised the corner of his mouth silently, and said calmly: "Because he indirectly saved your mother's life, so you acquiesced in being bullied by him?"

"Probably." Guan Zan said casually, "But there is really no other choice."

"After that incident, my mother attempted suicide and was sent to a nursing home. I had no guardian, so I was adopted by my uncle and aunt as a matter of course. In fact, I know that my aunt is for inheritance, and everything left by my parents was taken away by her. , the real estate and a few guzhengs were sold for cash, and she used the money to invest and expand her uncle's business, and she gradually had her current life."

After finishing speaking, Guan Zan suddenly felt that this topic was quite boring, and he didn't want to bring up the old story again, and he didn't want the other party to know more about his privacy.He sat up from the hanging chair and said to Ke Jinrui: "Are you hungry, can I make supper?"

"Go." Ke Jinrui agreed.

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and there was still work after dawn. Guan Zan looked in the refrigerator and found that there were no ingredients that could be used, so he had to make the simplest steamed egg.After it was steamed, he took one portion and put it on the desk, then hid in the hanging chair again, and shared another portion with Galileo.

The steamed egg was very hot, Guan Zan scooped up a spoonful and cooled it carefully, then held it in his palm for Galileo to eat.The little Corgi was neglected in the past, and it was rare to be fed. The whole dog was extremely excited, licking and barking.

Guan Zan was not hungry, patiently fed the little things, and said to Ke Jinrui, "Shall I go back to Xishan by myself tomorrow?"

Ke Jinrui's living habits are very good, and he never eats late at night. He agreed just now to give Guan Zan a reason to end the topic.But tonight, for the first time ever, he scooped up a spoonful of steamed eggs and tasted it.

Hmm... The heat is well controlled, the egg yolk and egg white are evenly mixed, very tender, but there is no salt, vinegar or soy sauce, this must be made for dogs.

Putting down the spoon, Ke Jinrui decided not to touch the steamed eggs in the bowl anymore, and said, "I forgot to tell you before, the old man's call not only told you not to catch a cold, but also told you to go back two days later."

Guan Zan was taken aback for a moment, then poked his head out to look at him: "Why?"

"He looked at the weather forecast. Showers turned to heavy rain, and there might be hail. He said that the winding mountain road is not safe, and we will wait until the weather improves." Ke Jinrui said, "I have to go to the company tomorrow, how about you? Do you stay at home with the dog, or Come with me?"

"Oh, by the way, I have to convey the meaning of our President Yu. He said that you look cute, and you are welcome to visit the company often." Ke Jinrui laughed after finishing speaking, "Take me for one or two. Be the microphone."

Guan Zan really wanted to follow Ke Jinrui, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of the elusive kiss in the car earlier for no reason, and when he said it, it became: "I'll wait at home, I see you don't have anything in the refrigerator , I’ll go to the supermarket tomorrow and cook for dinner, if you don’t work overtime, come back and eat.”

"Alright." Ke Jinrui opened the desk drawer, took out a spare key, and then took a card from the wallet.He came over and handed it to Guan Zan, and told: "Don't go far in bad weather, remember to bring an umbrella." He thought for a while and asked, "Can you drive? There are two cars in the basement, you can Open as you please."

Guan Zan shook his head: "I haven't learned it before."

"Then take a taxi." He took out a few more cash and put them out of the way of the hanging chair, and patted Guan Zan's head by the way, "After feeding the dog, go to bed early, you live upstairs on the right hand side near the stairs There are new bathrobes and towels in the bathroom, if you want to wear my clothes first?"

"Okay." Guan Zan said.

Ke Jinrui was silent for a few seconds, and finally suggested: "Or if you don't mind the noise, you can go to the third floor. The terrace is fully enclosed with a glass roof. If you can't sleep, you can watch the rain."

Guan Zan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can I bring Galileo with me?"

Ke Jinrui glanced down at the little Keji who was eating steamed eggs from a bowl, and said with a helpless smile: "You will spoil it." But he didn't refuse, and added, "Go."
