Subordinate Doting - Chap 120
“One photo isn’t enough, he wants to buy one and get two free, three times?”
If I hadn’t been afraid that Ji Tingyu would feel cold and hadn’t taken off his shirt, I wouldn’t be able to see anything.
Ji Tingyu was also a little amused.
”He’s young and doesn’t understand anything. Go back and stop glaring at him. Don’t you know how scary it is when you glare at him?”
”Scary? Me?”
He Zhuo took a wet towel to wipe his legs and ankles. He raised his eyelids when he heard this: “I thought I was pretty gentle.”
”What the hell is gentleness! I’m afraid of you when you’re angry.”
”It’s my fault. I won’t be angry with you anymore.”
He Zhuo held one of his ankles and placed it on his knee.
Ji Tingyu’s cell phone suddenly vibrated.
When I opened it, it was a message from Rosaline:
[I’ll give you ten minutes. We’ll go home in ten minutes.]
【Um】
[But you two are having fun in this icy and snowy place, you’re not afraid of freezing your dick off]
[Shut up, you bitch]
Ji Tingyu turned off the screen and threw the phone aside angrily.
”What’s wrong?”
”That little bastard has a real big mouth!”
He Zhuo had expected this and was not surprised.
He lowered his eyes, and used his slender fingers to hold the wet towel and wipe Ji Tingyu’s thigh, his fingertips occasionally sliding across his muddy skin exposed to the cold wind.
”Hiss—gently.”
”pain?”
”Well, it seems to be broken.”
”Let me see.”
He Zhuo lifted the hem of his shirt, gently opened it a little, examined it carefully, and pressed it from time to time.
”It’s a little red, really like a peach. Apply some medicine.”
There was a small double-layer first aid box in the car, which he prepared for Ji Tingyu for emergency use.
The first layer contains Ji Tingyu’s underwear and socks, and the second layer contains some commonly used medicines and anesthetic guns.
He applied the medicine to the kitten, then changed into clean underwear. He saw a small empty space in the box and said, “Next time, I’ll put a pair of my underwear in the car. I want you to buy it.”
He also wanted to experience the feeling of having his lover help him buy underwear.
”If you don’t have money, you can wear mine.”
Ji Tingyu refused very straightforwardly.
The owner of the store in the service area is a nagging person. Today he went to the store and bought two pairs of underwear that were obviously not his size. Tomorrow even Neville’s big-eared fox will know that He Zhuo is so much older than him. He can’t afford to lose face.
”You really won’t buy it for me?” He Zhuo glanced at him with an ambiguous look: “I also want something to fit me.”
”It’s good enough to have something to wear. Why do you need a big or small size? I was a reporter in Croatia two years ago. The conditions were as harsh as primitive people clearing wasteland. I couldn’t take a bath for ten days or half a month. I finally found a wild lake to take a bath. I thought I should buy a pair of disposable underwear from my boss, but he just threw two plastic bags at me.”
He Zhuo laughed: “Did you put it on?”
“No condom.”
”Why not wear a set? Isn’t it good enough to have something to wear?”
The kitten shook its ears: “It’s too big, it’s not my size. It will blow wind when I put it on.”
He was foolish enough to try it on.
He Zhuo stopped teasing, only heartache remained in his eyes.
He sat down next to Ji Tingyu, pulled him into his arms, and rubbed his soft head with his warm hands.
”Where else have you been in the past few years?”
”Well…Did you know about the Diankang Volcano City? There is a town full of blue magnolias.”
”I heard that the people there are very open-minded?”
”Yeah.” Ji Tingyu seemed to think of some ridiculous experiences, and his voice became much lighter.
”During that time, our accommodation conditions were like a roller coaster. One day we lived in a volcanic cave with air leaking from all sides, and the next day we lived in a sheep shed that smelled terrible. We finally stayed in a hotel with 24-hour hot water, but I didn’t get a full night’s sleep that week because the couple next door were so loud!”
”Can you imagine? Whether it’s day or night, or midnight, they do it anytime and anywhere, like conjoined twins, with high-pitched and loud voices, and binaural sound in both ears. My God, I hid in the closet, but the sound effect was like someone playing a movie next to my ear.”
He Zhuo imagined the scene where Ji Tingyu turned back into a kitten and hid himself in the closet to avoid the noise, and felt both distressed and amused.
”With your dog-like temper, didn’t you knock on their door?”
”They filmed it! I specifically filmed it! I even put a crowbar in my belt in case we got into a fight.” Ji Tingyu put his hands on his hips and smiled wickedly. Two seconds later, he shrugged in frustration: “But after we opened the door, they said the more I filmed them, the more they felt it. They even wanted to pay me to film for five more minutes.”
Director Ji, who was young and hot-headed and knew nothing, took a long time to realize that he was being treated as a part of the other party’s play. His temper flared up and he was about to punch the alpha’s head on the spot.
”You’re going to use a stick.” He Zhuo was sure that the 23-year-old cat would smash the crowbar into the man’s face.
”Yes.”
Ji Tingyu did not disappoint him.
”I helped them break down the door with a crowbar for half an hour and got $20, which I used to buy a hot dog for each of my teammates.”
He Zhuo’s pupils shrank and he was stunned.
Ji Tingyu just waved his hand heartlessly: “There is nothing we can do. The contact person has run away, the superior has lost contact, we haven’t eaten for three days, and we are almost dead. What’s the point of having integrity?”
There was no extra expression when he talked about these past events.
He did not sing praises for himself or complain about his superiors for doing nothing. Even when he thought of that difficult and harsh time and that small town ravaged by war, his first impression was the blue magnolias blooming all over the mountains.
I have to say that Ji Tingyu is really charming.
For the first time, He Zhuo saw the passage of time in him. He saw a little guy who was only the size of a sock grow up into an adult who stood tall and proud, yet still maintained the sincerity and faith of his youth.
He can chop off a criminal’s head with one sword on horseback, and he can also lie in He Zhuo’s arms and say, “Touch my ears.” He is sharp and upright, yet soft and innocent.
