Chapter 50

Shen Yanbai was not so pretentious that he really wanted to have nothing to do with the other party. He held his iPhone and treated Jiang Zhongyu like an ordinary friend: "I threw away the previous mobile phone, and the card has not been installed yet. Where's the new phone?"

Jiang Zhongyu looked down at the expensive new mobile phone in his hand. Just this one is enough to feed a family in a small place for a few months.

It was only then that Jiang Zhongyu realized that Shen Yanbai's clothes had also changed. The jacket, trousers, and shoes inside were all brand new.

Jiang Zhongyu suddenly realized, thinking right, this is the original Shen Yanbai.During this period of time, he seemed to have integrated into Hoh Xil, but in fact it was just a helpless act.After all, he and he are not from the same world.

Jiang Zhongyu let go of his hands this time, and said in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Are you rich?"

"Oh, yes." As if remembering something, Shen Yanbai picked up his mobile phone, put the card in it, turned it on, and explained while moving, "I've contacted my agent, let her call me first Tens of thousands come over."

Jiang Zhongyu nodded.

"Okay." Shen Yanbai said.

Jiang Zhongyu's cell phone rang, and Shen Yanbai motioned him to take a look: "I will return the money I lent you before, and I'm sorry to have troubled you all this time, so I transferred more."

The chat records showed that Shen Yanbai had transferred 1 yuan.

That's a lot.

It is a number that can absolutely even out all relationships.

Jiang Zhongyu looked at it for a while with his eyelids downcast, his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes.There was no one in the lobby of the hotel, and it was terribly quiet at the moment, and the lady at the front desk was very sensible and didn't disturb her.

After a while, Shen Yanbai's cell phone also rang, Jiang Zhongyu accepted the transfer, and transferred back to 9500.

Shen Yanbai was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Zhongyu said: "I will only lend you 500. I don't like to charge interest."

"No," Shen Yanbai explained, "You will take care of me during this time..."

Jiang Zhongyu interrupted him: "I didn't take care of you, I just hired you to help me drive. You don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything."

Shen Yanbai squeezed the phone slightly harder, his finger bones turned white, and finally he smiled lightly and said, "Okay, then we're settled?"

Jiang Zhongyu didn't speak.

Shen Yanbai pursed his lips, turned around and said, "I lost my ID card, can't I open the room?"

"You can get a temporary ID card, sir." The front desk smiled dutifully, "Go out from here and turn right and there is a police station about one kilometer away."

Jiang Zhongyu said: "The car is parked outside. If you still want to stay, you can stay for a few nights."

After a difficult inner struggle, Shen Yanbai chose Jiang Zhongyu.The reason he gave himself was that the police station was still one kilometer away, and he was too tired to move—although he only gave himself a reasonable reason.

He himself knew better than anyone else that the real reason was that he wanted to spend more time with Jiang Zhongyu before leaving.

Maybe after leaving, they will never see each other again.

Jiang Zhongyu helped Shen Yanbai take down a lot of things he bought from the off-road, box after box almost filled the yard.

Jiang Zhongyu didn't ask Shen Yanbai what he bought, so Shen Yanbai didn't take the initiative to say.

But after a while Jiang Zhongyu came out with a set of pajamas: "Let's change your clothes first."

"Ah?" Shen Yanbai was stunned, "What for?"

"New clothes," Jiang Zhongyu frowned, scanning his new outfit, and said, "Aren't you a bit of a clean freak? Didn't you know that the clothes you bought just now have to be washed before you can wear them?"

Shen Yanbai didn't care too much about this aspect: "It was sterilized when I wore it."

"That's not OK."

Shen Yanbai said flatly: "I'm too lazy to wash, and I have to wait to dry after washing, what a hassle."

Jiang Zhongyu forced him to take it off, and said, "I'll wash it."

Shen Yanbai was happy to agree, and joked with him: "Okay, then I will pay you hourly wages, how much do you charge per hour?"

Jiang Zhongyu glanced at him and said nothing, Shen Yanbai took the pajamas into the room to change, and when he came out, he found Jiang Zhongyu was looking at the clothes in the open box, holding a skirt in his hand, frowning The word "Chuan".

Shen Yanbai explained: "I bought it for Cang La, and I also bought it for Xue Yi and the others."

Jiang Zhongyu let out an "oh".

"The ones in this box are for you."

The expression on Jiang Zhongyu's face seemed to be a little more relaxed. He flipped through the clothes in the box with great interest, and said, "It's quite expensive, isn't it?"

"Not expensive." Shen Yanbai said, "My hourly salary."

Jiang Zhongyu didn't touch the box of clothes, but asked Shen Yanbai: "Which box is yours?"

Shen Yanbai pointed to two of the boxes, and Jiang Zhongyu took the scissors and began to remove the tags. After dismantling, he threw them into a large basin filled with water and cleaned them neatly.

Jiang Zhongyu finished rubbing the suit on Shen Yanbai's body first, down to the sleeves and trousers.Shen Yanbai didn't want such an old man to help him wash his clothes seriously here, but his heart was still soft in a mess.

He thought that Jiang Zhongyu was really a good person, and if he were to be a lover, he would definitely be a considerate and considerate lover.

It's a pity he doesn't belong to him.

After Jiang Zhongyu rubbed one piece after another meticulously, Shen Yanbai sat on the stool next to him and watched him carefully. Looking at him, he suddenly felt sad, that he might have to leave here.

After leaving here, I will never see Jiang Zhongyu again, Shen Yanbai thought to himself.

"What are you looking at me for?" After enduring Shen Yanbai's gaze for nearly half an hour, Jiang Zhongyu finally raised his head to look at him.

Shen Yanbai said subconsciously: "Jiang Zhongyu, do you know that I'm crooked?"

"No—do you understand what is curved and straight?"

Shen Yanbai feels that outdated men like Jiang Zhongyu don't necessarily know the nickname of Gay.

But Jiang Zhongyu paused, then nodded slightly: "I know."

This was beyond Shen Yanbai's expectation: "You know?"

"Yeah. I know." But Jiang Zhongyu didn't explain how he knew it.

"Oh," Shen Yanbai nervously rubbed the wristband on his wrist, without even looking at Jiang Zhongyu, and asked calmly, "So I actually like men."

He is making the last effort for himself, hoping to get an answer from Jiang Zhongyu that meets his psychological expectations.

To Shen Yanbai, this was already a very straightforward confession.

But Jiang Zhongyu didn't speak.

Shen Yanbai gently dug his palm with his nails, and continued to ask: "What do you think?"

The only sound left in the yard was the sound of clothes being rubbed back and forth on the washboard. Jiang Zhongyu didn't speak for a while, and Shen Yanbai also gradually became disappointed from the initial expectation.

It seems that Jiang Zhongyu really doesn't like him.Shen Yanbai stared at those clothes and thought.

The sound of water suddenly stopped.

Jiang Zhongyu picked up the clothes that had been rubbed in the basin and started to dry them. He turned his back to Shen Yanbai and said, "I don't have any ideas. The way of life is chosen by oneself, and no one else can influence it."

Shen Yanbai looked at his back, let out a breath of turbid air, and thought to forget it, anyway, it was just a chance meeting and a dewy marriage.

In almost one breath, he had already made the final decision in his heart.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Shen Yanbai said.

Jiang Zhongyu paused for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Aren't you going to Nangqian and Guoluo?"

Shen Yanbai suddenly felt a little funny.

Although he never said the word "like", his every move was telling Jiang Zhongyu that he liked him.

Jiang Zhongyu also avoided his liking from beginning to end.

How did he feel that the two of them could still get along as ordinary friends after having such a relationship?At least Shen Yanbai couldn't do it.

What's more, he has been avoiding the mess in Shanghai for too long, and he really should go back and face reality.

Shen Yanbai let out a long breath, and said, "I won't go."

Jiang Zhongyu was silent for a long time, and in the end he just spit out a dull "oh" from his throat.

I'm really only sour for a while! (silently running away with the pot lid on)
