Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 91 - Epilogue (5) - Five Time Fragments (1)
-After the Qixi Festival-
The Jasmine that Shen Tingwei saw before waking up, was indeed bought by Lian Jue after a long search.
Lian Jue searched several flower shops in the city to no avail, so he went to the flower market in the outer ring at the suggestion of the driver. Although it was much later than his usual time to go to the company.
When they drove to the flower market, it had just opened and many of the shops inside were still pulling their shutters and did not open for business.
Lian Jue finally found the little jasmine potted plant in a dilapidated small shop.
It is neither delicate nor expensive and it only costs 20 yuan including the small ceramic flowerpot.
Compared to the bunch of roses he threw away, it’s really not a good Tanabata gift.
[UPLOADER’S NOTE:
“It’s the thought and sentiment that counts my dear, 🌼.”]
Lian Jue took the pot of jasmine and returned to the car. The driver started the car and asked, “Are you going back to the company, President Lian?”
Lian Jue glanced at his watch and said, “Go home first.”
Shen Tingwei didn’t like roses but in order to make him happy. Shen Tingwei picked up the bouquet of roses that would make him physically uncomfortable when he smelled it and made it look more delicate and vibrant than when it stayed in the bouquet.
Lian Jue didn’t like Jasmine either but he was also willing to be late once in a while in order to make Shen Tingwei happy.
Lian Jue, who had been late for half a morning, returned to the company and bumped into Lin Chen who was approaching.
When Lin Chen saw Lian Jue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: “Mr. Lian, you are finally here. Boss Lu has already arrived. Have you read the contract last night? Boss Lu’s side——”
Lian Jue’s footsteps stopped. Suddenly, the picture of Shen Tingwei being pressed by him in the study last night flashed by. The contract that was wet by Shen Tingwei seemed to be thrown on the chair in the study by him.
An unnatural look quickly flashed across Lian Jue’s face. He quickly said in a low voice, “Go and make another copy.”
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. Lian Jue calmly avoided his prying eyes and his voice froze: “What are you still doing? Send it to my office in two minutes.”
Only then did Lin Chen quickly say, “Okay, Mr. Lian.”
Lian Jue walked straight to his office. Lin Chen looked at the red hue behind his ears and secretly slandered in his heart:
‘It’s the first time you are not prepared. You think you have the right to be angry…?’
…
Lin Chen has been pretending to be an ostrich for a long time since he learned that [Linlin Jumping Mountain] is a man on Qixi Festival.

…
-Second Pregnancy-
Shen Tingwei had chest pains every day since he has started to develop. Even at night when Lian Jue’s arm accidentally rubbed by him, it will make him wake up from his dream in pain.
Lian Jue was probably afraid of touching his stomach. He wrapped his arms around his chest, caressed the thin and shallow skin at his collarbone, shoulder sockets and pressed his side arms halfway to his chest.
Shen Tingwei’s brows furrowed painfully, a thin layer of mist shone in his eyes, under his slightly raised chest seemed to hide a tiny invisible barb. The small hill that was lightly pressed by his arm seemed to be pierced by thousands of needles at the same time. The strong tingling sensation made Shen Tingwei breathe even tighter.
He was in so much pain that he couldn’t help taking Lian Jue’s hand away, touching his hand into his nightgown, raising his hand to cover the soft lace on his chest and gently rubbing it to relieve the unbearable pain.
Shen Tingwei was worried that Lian Jue will be disturbed because of the noise. His lips were lightly pressed together. He quietly adjusted his disordered breathing.
His hand was suddenly pushed away.
Lian Jue knew when he woke up. His warm chest was tightly pressed against Shen Tingwei’s back through the thin silk nightgown. His slender and flexible fingers picked up the soft and thin lace fabric and his palm replaced it. Shen Tingwei didn’t answer.
“Are you alright?” Lian Jue’s deep voice sounded against Shen Tingwei’s ear, with a hoarseness that was still sleepy, “Why didn’t you call me?”
Under the shallow water light, he lightly grabbed Lian Jue’s wrist and complained in a low voice, “It hurts so much when you touch me, Lian Jue.”
Lian Jue’s hand stopped for a while, propped up and looked at him. The voice was also a little clearer: “It hurts?”
Shen Tingwei tilted his head and buried half of his face in the pillow. His voice was low, like “um” with grievances.
Lian Jue quickly pulled out his hand, pressed his lips against the back of Shen Tingwei’s neck and breathed with a scorching small airflow coaxing him in a low voice: “Okay, I won’t touch it anymore. Let’s go to sleep.”
Lian Jue’s hand completely left Shen Tingwei’s body but Shen Tingwei suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him. He asked him in a sullen voice, “…what are you doing?”
Lian Jue watched as his hand was dragged by Shen Tingwei again. When he got to him, he asked amusingly, “Doesn’t it hurt?”
Shen Tingwei turned around, glared at him as if a little dissatisfied and quickly staggered his eyes. His thin arms slipped out of the cuffs of the nightgown and wrapped around him. On Lian Jue’s neck, the moisture in his eyes was even thicker.
“Knead me again…”
…
-October 16th-
Lin Chen rarely got off an early shift but he didn’t seem to be happy about it.
He looked at the WeChat message on his mobile phone that he had known for nine years and took a deep breath.
Linlin Jumping Mountain: I remember you working in Yi City, right?
The first handsome 2698 in the whole server: Yes, what’s wrong?
Linlin Jumping Mountain: Are you familiar of the high-speed railway station?
Linlin Jumping Mountain: I got pigeons from college classmates. I don’t know where to go now.
The first handsome 2698 in the whole server: ? ?
Linlin Jumping Mountain: Unfamiliar with the place of life. I am a little afraid of high-speed railway station.
The first handsome 2698 in the whole server:? ? ?
The first handsome 2698 in the whole server: If I remember correctly, you are only one year younger than me.
The first handsome 2698 in the whole server: 28 years old, alone, at the high-speed rail station, a little scared?
Linlin Jumping Mountain: Brother.
The first handsome 2698 ofthe whole server: …
The first handsome 2698 of the whole server: There is a Kaifeng dish in the south of the high-speed rail station, wait for me for 20 minutes.
Linlin Leaping Mountain: 1
It is difficult to find a parking space near the high-speed railway station. Lin Chen turned around a few times in Fujin and finally had to park his car in the paid parking lot of a nearby express hotel.
If it was put before the Qixi Festival, he would have been so excited that he would not be able to sleep for the whole night if he thought of jumping up and down the mountain with Linlin.
Now, he locked the car like water and walked towards the KFC in the south square of the high-speed rail station.
When Lin Chen confirmed his image at the moment from the reflection of the shop glass beside the street for the third time. He realized that he was not completely calm.
Lin Chen looked at himself who was clear in the reflection of the glass.
Not bad, tall, mighty, ruthless and worthy of being the number one handsome 269 in Yi City. ‘Ah no, he is the number one handsome!’
Lin Chen sighed lightly, the damp hands hanging by his side clenched slightly and his back straightened again. While clenching his fists, he moved his neck that was a little stiff from sitting in front of the computer for a long time.
——After all, he hasn’t fought since he graduated from kindergarten.
——Lin Chen decided at this moment that he must let this [Lin LinJumping Mountain], who lied to him for nine years, experience first-hand what Yishi No. 2 Experimental Kindergarten is.
This thought stayed in his mind for less than five minutes.
The moment the call was made, Lin Chen decided to implement the principle of a gentleman’s tactlessness and leave this Linlin Jumping Mountain for a dog’s life.
The tall and slender man at the door of KFC picked up the phone unhurriedly, took a few steps with long legs and walked to him with a smile on his face. The receiver and the two voices in front of him sounded at the same time –
“Hi, 2698.”
Lin Chen, at first, I looked in disbelief at the man in front of me who was shameless on WeChat, claiming to be ‘a bit autistic to play games’, ‘not good at words and never open the microphone’, ‘frequently bullied and afraid of being crowded’, to win his sympathy and understanding.
Lin Chen’s sound of clenching his back molars reached his ear drum. He took a deep breath and squeezed out a word from the gap between his teeth with a gloomy expression: “Hi, Linlin!” –
On the way to the parking lot, Lin Shan didn’t ask him where he was going or what he was going to do.
This virtue of being obedient and respectful makes Lin Chen unable to help but wonder if he really has some kind of social barrier, so he is not afraid to turn a corner and sell him.
But he soon dismissed the idea.
Lin Shan followed him two steps and called out leisurely, “2698.”
Lin Chen was not to be outdone: “Lin Lin.”
Lin Shan called again: “2698.”
Lin Chen repeated: “Lin Lin!”
Lin Shan was happy: “2698.”
Lin Chen stopped, turned his head and glared at him: “—Aren’t you naive!”
Lin Shan raised his hand with a smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to rub his hair.
When Lin Chen realized this, he avoided it almost as a conditioned reflex and Lin Shan calmly withdrew his hand, showing a strange emotion on his face.
He shrugged and his tone was obviously teasing: “I didn’t expect you to be so naive, brother.”
Lin Chen choked and decided to ignore him.
Lin Shan changed from following him to being side by side with him
Lin Shan glanced at the express hotel in front of him and glanced at Lin Chen meaningfully.
Lin Chen glanced at him inexplicably without stopping and asked, “Why?”
Lin Shan suddenly hooked his neck. The corner of his mouth raised a very shallow arc: “You are not the same as I imagined.”
Lin Chen’s back froze for a moment: “Wait a minute—”
In the next second, he was dragged by Linshan and staggered.
He was dragged and pushed in the opposite direction of the hotel.
Lin Shan hooked his shoulders. The smile on his face slowly faded. He turned his head and leaned into his ear and said in a deep voice, “Forget it. I didn’t ask you for a gun.”
The burning heat sprayed from his ear. The breath gave Lin Chen goosebumps in an instant and then his scalp tingled due to his voice.
Lin Chen raised his arms without hesitation and slapped his elbows towards Lin Shan’s stomach:
“Fuck you! Your father’s car is parked there!”
