I wanted to raise the beautiful boy I rescued into peerless green tea, but he ran away from my fiancé angrily

In order to save the plot of Honkai, I tried to raise the rescued beautiful boy into peerless green tea, and fill the role of the dead second male vacancy.

I thought I was just out of luck and picked up a piece of rotten wood that couldn't be carved.

It wasn't until he ran away from my fiancé that I realized what I had picked up was a scheming white-eyed wolf.

1

When I found Lee Joel, he was only nineteen years old.

Although life is embarrassing, a slightly immature handsome eyebrow has a bit of charm that cannot be concealed.

With a wave of my hand, I paid off the gambling debts for his unsuccessful gambler father, and brought him back to country C when he was young to serve tea and water to those old gamblers in the casino.

On the plane back to China, I looked at the face of the young man beside me, which was eight points similar to the person I remembered, and I was finally able to let go of a big stone in my heart.

If it weren't for the unfortunate inadvertently inadvertently killed the second green tea male in the original book, as a system veteran who diligently completed all the system tasks and accumulated enough points to be reborn in his favorite novel, now I should have been lying at home and enjoying my last life, instead of being involved in a messy main plot like the rest of my life.

After the death of the second male in the original book, the system gave me a copy of the identity information, and asked me to find Li Joel, who looked very similar to the second male in the original book, in the information, to fill the vacancy in the role of the second male in green tea.

The system warned me that if there was no suitable person to replace the original book's Green Tea Male Protagonist to complete the main storyline, then once the original book's storyline began to crumble, I would be forced to revert to the identity of the system host, wasting a lot of time in my last life in order to fix the storyline.

I responded neatly, immediately bought a plane ticket, and began to search for Li Joel's whereabouts.

After several months of wandering, he was finally found and brought back to country C.

When I first returned to China, Li Joel was almost obedient to me, and I was surprisingly obedient.

But when the time came, when I explained my intentions and began to teach him, he seemed to be a different person, often twisting and refusing to imitate my facial expressions, and seemed a little moody.

During a certain lecture, I talked for a long time, and when I looked back at him, I found that he was looking at me in a daze, and he didn't mean to listen at all.

"Li Joel, look at me." I said to him.

He came back to his senses, met my eyes and was stunned, and his face turned red.

Just when I mistakenly thought that his focused eyes might have something unusual, his expression suddenly changed, and after a moment of loneliness, his face turned cold, and he turned his head away with a look of disdain.

"I can't find a valid reason to learn these things on my own. I owe you, I can leave the voucher and try my best to pay you back in the future."

"You don't want to ruin someone's feelings?"

I sensed the reason for his disgust with learning from his words and expressions, and softened my tone and seduced him.

"If you think like this, you are not destroying other people's feelings, you are just verifying the authenticity of the relationship for him, if their relationship is strong enough, if their love for each other is real enough, then these methods of yours are just a touchstone before they end up in true love."

"Is that true for anyone?"

The boy's face wavered with hesitation as he looked at me.

"Even you?" He asked.

I was a little distracted by his overly hot eyes, and I unconsciously avoided his gaze.

"Of course! What kind of love is a love that can't stand the test."

I stood firm in my voice, but I didn't anticipate how much it would hurt me in the future.

Hearing this, Li Qiaoer suddenly smiled.

I turned to look at him, and for the first time I saw a glimmer of light in his eyes.

I looked at his face at that time, and I was relieved to solve a big problem in my teaching process, full of imagination about how Li Joel would be invincible after eliminating his boredom with school, but I didn't expect that people with such a handsome face would be so unenlightened in making green tea.

But it turns out.

Killing pigs in the last life, teaching in this life, the birth of this proverb is not groundless.

As the initiation teacher of his green tea career, I felt a rare frustration in the face of my own teaching career without results.

2

Two years later, I finally gave up on continuing to train Li Qiaoer, so I sent him away, who was not enlightened, and planned to turn around and look for a more suitable replacement.

I sent him all the way back to country A, arranged a college for him, paid the rent for five years, and left him a sum of money for living expenses during his college years.

It can be regarded as a successful end to the two-year master-apprentice career of the two of us.

After all, no matter how apprentices don't succeed, they are also apprentices.

I stood on the side of the door of the off-campus apartment rented by Country A for Li Joel, and saw the handsome young man who was now half a head taller than me standing at the door of the room, and walked into the room without hesitation and closed the door.

What a little conscienceless.

I snorted, turned around and left the apartment, got into the car, and flew back to country C.

3

Four years later, I was twenty-five years old.

The reunion of the male and female protagonists after a long absence is imminent, and the parents on both sides of me and my fiancé Cheng Ge have also begun to urge me to cultivate a relationship with him and get married as soon as possible.

I did it hastily, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just that I didn't expect that Cheng Ge was much more enthusiastic about this matter than I imagined.

After receiving the answer that I was not disgusted with the marriage, he took the initiative to go on dates several times, and on holidays, he would prepare gifts for me, and he did not have any dissatisfaction with my lukewarm attitude.

Seeing that he was so sincere, I gradually wavered.

I sometimes think that maybe marrying him would be a good option too.

At least in the description of the author of the original book, Cheng Ge is of good character and is a zealous and responsible justice lawyer.

But just when I was swaying, I saw Li Joel who was following the heroine at the reception where the male and female protagonists met.

He had grown into a young man, dressed in a black suit, and behaved decently, completely devoid of the downfit of the thin boy in the casino.

He talked very happily with the heroine, and his demeanor was very familiar.

He caught a glimpse of me and froze for a moment.

I thought that with his wolf-hearted personality, he would choose to pretend that he didn't know me, but I didn't want him to suddenly smile and gesture to me.

In his eyes, there was nostalgia and a touch of tenderness.

Li Qiaoer's appearance is something I have never seen before, in my impression, he has always been a facial paralysis, not to mention a gentle look, even a smile is rare to see.

It was only when I pretended to be affectionate to him in person and tried to teach him green tea skills that I saw his face flushed with shame.

Now it's so unstingy to smile, love is really great.

I smiled politely at him and raised my glass to him.

Two years ago, when the system told me that Li Joel took the initiative to approach the heroine who was studying in country A, I stopped my move to continue looking for a candidate to replace the second male character of the original book Green Tea.

In the past few years, the system has not continued to embarrass me, I think it is Li Joel who has successfully taken over the role of the second male in the original book.

It is worthy of being an apprentice trained by my own hands.

I said, I can teach pigs, but he is a little late to enlightenment.

I suddenly regained my confidence as a teacher.

4

Because my parents knew each other well, I often inevitably met the heroine who was the eldest lady of the X Group in some important social occasions.

In the past six months, I have seen Li Qiaoer's status in the heroine's mind becoming more and more important, and she has become a frequent guest at various drinking parties, and she is inseparable.

saw that the male protagonist became more and more interested in the female protagonist, and repeatedly left the table in a jealous manner, which caused everyone to discuss.

The main plot is developing lively, and I, the melon-eating crowd, shrink in the corner, except for being glad that the person in the center of the whirlpool is not me, life is as usual, and I don't think about it.

Until one rainy night, I suddenly received a call from the community security guard in half a dream, and after a brief communication, the security guard on the other end of the phone handed over the phone to Li Qiaoer, who suddenly visited late at night.

Li Qiaoer's voice was silent for a long time, and finally let me go to the door to meet him with a little pleading.

I heard that his tone was not quite right, so I didn't ask any more questions, changed my clothes and rushed to the security booth at the entrance of the community.

When I saw him, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Li Joel was soaked, the corners of his mouth were wounded, and even the corners of the left sleeve of his suit were stained with a cloud of blood diluted by the rain.

He stood in the light at the door of the security booth, a few tufts of short dark brown hair dripping with water, and his pale face was even more fragile and pitiful.

He looked up at me and squeezed out a weak smile.

He said that the heroine knew about the past he deliberately covered up, and she felt that he was deliberately close to and used her.

The heroine's doubts and hesitations made him panic, and he suddenly didn't know what to do to stay by her side.

When I heard this, my heart tightened, and I couldn't tell whether it was pity or guilt.

After all, if it weren't for me, he might not have fallen in love with the heroine, and he wouldn't have been questioned about the authenticity of love because of the skills I taught.

He refused my request to take him to the hospital.,Excused himself and said it was just a casual scrape when arguing with the male owner.,Just ask me to bandage him casually.。

In the end, in order to deal with the wound, I had to take him back to the apartment first.

This was followed by a long conversation all night long......

Seeing that he was sad, I couldn't ask him to leave, I wanted to leave the apartment for him to rest, and I went to live in the hotel by myself, but when the words came to my lips several times, I was blocked by his reluctance to the heroine.

He behaved like he needed me.

I can't leave him alone, after all, his grief today is more or less my help.

So much so that at the end of the conversation, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the sofa unconsciously.

The next morning, I was woken up by the ringing of the doorbell.

I got up to check, but I saw Cheng Ge in the eyes of the electronic cat.

I suddenly remembered that there was a Li Qiaoer at home, and I looked around in a panic, but I didn't see anyone.

Cheng Ge and I had just started dating, and at this time, I brought Li Qiaoer into the house for a night, in addition to being morally wrong, and more importantly, I couldn't explain the reason to him at all.

I can't explain why I brought sixteen-year-old Li Qiaoer with me six years ago, I can't explain the two years I've been with him, and I can't explain why I've been pretending not to know him for half a year, but taking him in for one night at such a time.

I was hesitating, Cheng Ge in the eyes of the electronic cat took out his mobile phone, and then, the mobile phone ringtone in my pocket began to ring, and I saw that Cheng Ge, who was only one door away, had heard my mobile phone ringtone, so I had no choice but to connect the phone.

Cheng Ge said that he took over a sexual harassment case, and the client happened to live in our community, and when he came to deal with related matters this morning, he wanted to stop by and come to see me.

Since he came to see me, I can't just turn him away.

I excused myself from changing my clothes and searched up and down the apartment, hoping to explain a few words to Li Qiaoer after finding him, but I couldn't see him.

Is he really gone?

I may have been relieved that Li Joel was gone, but inexplicably, my premonition was getting worse and worse.

I opened the door for Cheng Ge, and just smiled at him, but before I could say anything, I heard the sound of water coming from the other end of the bathroom, and the sound of water sounded for two seconds before it stopped abruptly.

The smile on my face froze, and I turned my head to look at the sound of the bathroom door being closed, only to see Li Joel walking out wrapped in only a bath towel.

The water from the shower dripped from his slightly curled dark brown curls like last night's rain, to his fair and tight shoulders and neck, to his graceful pectoral muscles, and all the way down his abdominal muscles, undulating back and forth with the rhythm of breathing.

The embarrassed and lonely look last night disappeared from his face, he looked at me, bright and tender, he looked at Cheng Ge, and the sudden embarrassment was mixed with a trace of calm enthusiasm from the male owner of the apartment.

He did it on purpose.

From beginning to end, it's all calculation.

The corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably with a stiff smile, and my hand clenched into a fist.

5

It is my pride as a teacher that my apprentices can excel in the blue.

Han Xinru taught him for two years, and he taught a white-eyed wolf, which was my failure as a man.

Painful and painful, remorseful.

I, He Chuxi, declare that from now on, I will retire from the education sector forever.

6

Cheng Ge's face turned a little colder, and he stared at Li Qiaoer on the side for a long time, his eyes full of hostility.

I was a little worried when I saw this, and I was thinking about how to relieve the sudden tense atmosphere, but I didn't expect Cheng Ge to suddenly turn his head to look at me, and tried to raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

He didn't question me about my relationship with Li Joel, but just told me a few words similar to how to pay attention to safety recently.

"The police have already locked on the target, and the stalker will be caught soon, so don't worry too much. If you live alone, if you are afraid, you can consider my previous proposal and go back to your uncle and aunt for a while."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to my hair and stroked it tenderly twice.

While moving, he glanced at Li Qiaoer not far away, intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of declaring sovereignty.

"But if you don't want to, don't force it. Feel free to contact me if you have something, I'll be sure to come over."

"A well-known barrister like Lawyer Cheng should be very busy, and he has to run to the client's house, the police station, and the law firm, if Chu Xi really has an accident, can you take care of it?"

Li Qiaoer leaned lazily against the low cabinet, his tone relaxed, but there was no smile on his face.

"That's none of your business."

Cheng Ge looked at him and suddenly smiled contemptuously.

"Instead of taking care of other people's affairs, it's better to take care of your own affairs first, Chu Xi doesn't know your details, but I know, I can't do anything to you now, but if you dare to let Chu Xi get into trouble, I will definitely not let you go."

I didn't understand what Cheng Ge meant, and I raised my eyes to look at Li Qiaoer, only to find that he avoided my gaze.

I just wanted to ask, Cheng Singer's mobile phone began to ring non-stop, I saw that the caller ID on the screen was a police officer, I knew that it was a serious matter that could not be delayed, so it was not good to delay him any longer, so I could only smile and let him get busy with work first.

"Although I know that it may seem unbelievable to say such a thing to you in the light of the situation and my identity, he-"

Before leaving, Cheng Ge looked at Li Qiaoer and said softly to me:

"He's not that simple, maybe he's not a bad guy, but if you get close to him, you'll get into a lot of trouble. Chu Xi, you'd better keep your distance from him."

I don't know if what Cheng Ge said is not simple, whether he refers to the messy social relations around Li Joel's gambler father, but his warning really makes me doubt Li Joel's current situation.

Sixteen-year-old Li Joel, I know very well, his family relationships, his father's social connections, the interpersonal relationships around him...... Before I could get him out of the casino, I investigated him thoroughly.

But I don't know what kind of person 22-year-old Li Joel is.

7

I watched Cheng Ge leave, closed the door and turned my head to look at where Li Qiaoer was before, only to find that he had leisurely wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked to the coffee machine in the kitchen, and very unceremoniously took a cup of coffee in his hand.

"You still like to use this brand of coffee machine, and when I returned to country A, I bought a coffee machine of the same brand myself, but it's strange that the taste is not the same."

He turned his head to look at me, and his face was completely devoid of the tender smile that I had been perfecting every time I met him in the past six months.

I thought that the sixteen-year-old boy with facial paralysis had already changed his temperament after meeting love, but I didn't want it to be just a disguise, he was still the little white-eyed wolf who didn't smile and could make you depressed with a look.

"You don't seem to like that lawyer that much."

His words turned abruptly, and before I could vent my anger, I was weakened by his sudden attack.

"Do I have to marry him?"

Li Qiaoer picked up the coffee and took a sip, with a little more smile in his eyes.

"I don't think he's good."

"What are you deliberately trying to do to harm me?"

I looked at him with my elbows folded.

"Li Joel, do you hate me that much?"

"I don't hate you." He replied sincerely.

"Then why are you—"

"I just miss you."

I choked up for a moment when I heard this, and I didn't come back for a long time.

Hearing this from the mouth of Li Joel, even if I was in a dream, I would suspect that something was wrong with my hearing or some part of my brain.

I looked at the man in front of me, wrapped in tight muscles, and suddenly it was difficult to connect him with the thin and pale boy I remembered.

When the young man and I were separated, he didn't even say goodbye, but the man in front of him was saying that he missed me very much.

When I met his gaze and came back to my senses, I realized that I had just stared at his naked upper body for a long time, and I felt embarrassed, and my face began to heat uncontrollably.

"What, you'd better put on some clothes."

I turned around unnaturally and distanced myself from him.

"Hurry up and get out when you're done."

8

In the next half month, Li Joel began to pester me when he had nothing to do.

I was dating Cheng Ge, and he was going to call to say that he was sick and in the hospital, and asked me to sign a critical illness notice with tears in his eyes;

I worked well, he wanted to appear outside my office door as an oppressed little daughter-in-law, and in front of my colleagues, he snorted and cried to accuse Cheng Ge of his malice and threats to him;

I went to see Cheng Ge's parents, he sneaked into the private room in advance, and while drinking and chatting with Cheng Ge's parents without any anger, he talked about my various living habits in front of Cheng Ge with a black face, and asked him to take good care of me......

Until I couldn't bear it anymore, I pulled him out of the private room and took him to the back alley of the restaurant in front of Cheng Ge's parents.

After a momentary emotional out-of-control and an argument broke out with him, I couldn't help but slap him. After being beaten, Li Qiaoer looked at me for a long time with a look of loss and sadness, and then left without saying a word.

Since then, he has not taken the initiative to appear in front of me for several days.

I knew I was going a little too far.

But even so, I know that I can't apologize now, and I'm afraid that if I take the initiative to show favor, he will be cheeky enough to come up again and try to continue to damage the relationship between me and Cheng Ge.

I'd rather he hate me than let this go back on the wrong track.

9

Although Li Qiaoer has not appeared by my side for several weeks, Cheng Ge still feels in crisis, and often finds time to come to me, saying that he cares, but he always mentions Li Qiaoer's affairs as if unintentionally, and talks about his complicated background several times, telling me to stay away from him.

I was skeptical of Cheng Ge's words, and deliberately found someone to check on Li Qiaoer, but I didn't want the situation to be as Cheng Ge said.

Although I can't find out what cases he was involved in, Li Qiaoer did have a close relationship with some people with complex backgrounds in country A in the past two years.

I thought I had paved the way for him, and after knowing that he had been admitted to the top five universities in country A, I didn't pay attention to his life anymore.

I didn't know that he suddenly dropped out of school, or that his reformed father had died two years earlier.

I know that "everyone has their own fate", and I also know that these are Li Joel's own choices after all, and I can't blame others, but the slightest sense of guilt still climbs from the bottom of my heart and can't go away for a long time.

At the end of the day, for me, Li Joel is not just an insignificant supporting character in the storyline.

Cheng Ge asked me to keep my distance from Li Qiaoer, but I didn't simply agree.

I didn't intend to save his life without any measure, I just always felt that there was a real goodbye between me and him, a good goodbye after the last unhappy parting, before the real things were right and wrong, and we went our separate ways.

I don't like to have a knot in my heart that I need to waste a lot of time to sort out later.

10

Before I could find a chance to see Li Joel again, I heard that he had quit his job as the hostess's personal assistant.

I thought it was just a trick he used to tie up the heroine, and I didn't take it too seriously, but I didn't want him to take the initiative to find me in front of Cheng Ge with a posture of saying goodbye.

"Lawyer Cheng, you see, I deliberately picked you to come to Chu Xi when you were there."

He suddenly appeared in the dining room and unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down next to me.

Li Qiaoer looked at Cheng Ge, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled with a full score.

"You can listen to whatever we have to say, there is no secret between me and Chu Xi that you can't know."

"Please get out." Cheng Ge's expression was cold.

He looked up at me, as if to get my approval.

I just wanted to open my mouth to let Li Joel go out first, but before I could say anything, he suddenly stuffed a box in my arms.

"I'm going back to country A tomorrow, and I won't be back."

Li Joel turned his head to look at me, and changed into a submissive and flattering look.

"A parting gift."

When I heard that he was going back to China, I was shocked and couldn't continue to talk to him to leave.

"They're already together, and the news of their engagement will be released in a few days."

I know that when Li Joel said "they" meant the male and female protagonists.

Just when I didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief that I could completely escape the embarrassment of the system, or to apologize for the loss of his lover, he spoke again:

"As you said, at this point, it's time for me to leave."

"Chu Xi, I've already done what you want me to do."

I looked at him stunned, not knowing how to react.

Li Joel approached the heroine, not because he really liked it, but for me?

"You don't seem to be happy."

Li Joel raised his hand to touch my eyebrows.

"I thought you'd be happy, after all, it all started because of this ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was pinned by the angry Cheng Ge and the hand stretched out to me.

"I suggest you keep your distance from my fiancée."

Cheng Ge dragged him away from me, holding back his movements and not continuing to hurt him.

Eyes began to cast on the various of us.

"Aren't you really curious about the relationship between me and Chu Xi?"

Li Joel smiled mockingly, looking unaware of Cheng Ge's threat.

"Aren't you curious what happened to me and her before you fell in love with her?"

"I don't care, I only care that Chu Xi is now my fiancée, not yours."

"Do you know she doesn't like you, and you continue to deceive yourself?"

"You're not qualified to talk to me about this!"

Cheng Ge scolded angrily, raised his hand and grabbed Li Qiaoer's collar, as if he was about to be unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

Seeing this, I quickly got up and stepped forward and pulled the two apart.

The box in my arms fell to the ground as I got up, and with a muffled sound, the lid fell to the side, spilling out the contents.

I stood between the two of them, looking at the yellowed off-white handkerchief on the ground, unable to continue the argument.

"This is the first time we've ...... You'll give it to me later." Li Joel spoke.

"You say, 'Wipe it yourself.'"

Six years ago, in the smoke and noisy voices of the casinos in country A, a teenager with a wounded cheek looked up at me with a plate of beer, and his eyes were gloomy.

I handed him a handkerchief, but he didn't take it right away.

At that time, I thought that I was really unlucky to run into such a stubborn and cold temper.

Li Joel's tone was so ambiguous that people had to think about it.

Cheng Ge on the side suddenly showed an unbelievable look in his eyes when he heard this.

He glanced at me, and after not getting my denial or justification, his face was filled with grief and anger, and he turned and left the restaurant without saying a word.

Cheng Ge's sudden departure made me come back from my memories for a moment, and I looked at his departing back in surprise, and then I realized that he had misunderstood.

Li Qiaoer on the side laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

I glared at him fiercely, and was about to get up to chase Cheng Ge to explain clearly, but Li Qiaoer grabbed his wrist.

"Don't go."

He wiped the tears from the smiling eyes and smiled, regaining the cold look he had only when he faced me.

"I know you're looking for someone to check on me, if you want to know how I'm doing, you might as well ask me personally."

I looked at the direction of Cheng Ge's departure and hesitated, and was about to say something, but I found that the force on my wrist became heavier.

He held my wrist and looked down at me with pleading pleading.

"Aren't you curious, what have I experienced over the years?"

11

It was I who taught him not to pretend to be pitiful, but to need three points of grief, three points of reluctance, three points of retreat, and one point of desire.

Looking at his beautiful face now, fragile and pretending to be strong, I only feel sorry for not being at the beginning.

Why should I work so hard, painstakingly and lonely, and teach each other.

thought that he would retire and no longer use these tricks, but he also hurt himself into the gutter when he paid careful attention.

Oh, I should.

It's all retribution.

12

Seeing that I stopped trying to leave, Li Joel let go of my hand.

I sighed and said I wanted to talk again in a different place.

He agreed.

I got up to get the bag next to my seat and the gift box that had fallen to the ground, and as soon as I picked up the handkerchief on the floor, I heard my cell phone ring behind me.

It seems to be Joel Lee's cell phone ringing.

I turned my head to look at him, only to find that he was looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant with a solemn expression, letting his phone ring on a loop, with no intention of answering.

"What's wrong?"

I sensed that something was wrong and wanted to look in the direction of his gaze, but he suddenly pulled me into my arms.

Li Joel reached out and stroked the hair above my ears and forced me to look at him without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, but I might have to ask you out a little later."

He stared straight at me, smiling slightly, with a bit of tenderness and promise in his eyes.

"I'll definitely contact you, Chu Xi, I still have a lot to say to you."

With that, he took advantage of my unpreparedness and gave me a quick kiss, then turned and walked away quickly, disappearing at the gate before I could react.

I took my handkerchief and looked in the direction he left for a long time, then turned my head to look at the place he was staring at just now, and saw that there were only pedestrians passing by outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and there was nothing special.

But my instincts were bad.

I always felt like something bad was going on.

I raised my hand to the place where he had kissed me, and stood there in a daze, unable to tell if my rapid heartbeat was due to uneasiness or excitement.

13

Lee Joel didn't contact me again.

I waited for him for three days, thinking that his white-eyed wolf had deliberately tricked me again, and I wanted to persuade myself to let go, but the uneasiness in my heart could not be dispelled.

After all, I lost my patience, so I personally found the heroine's house with a shy face and asked her if she knew where Li Joel went.

Li Qiaoer met the heroine abroad, and after returning to China, he has been living in the villa room of the heroine's house as a personal assistant, and there should be no other place to live.

But when I arrived at the hostess's house, she only showed me the suitcase in Li Joel's room.

"Joel said he booked a ticket two days ago, but he didn't come back to pick up his luggage, and I thought he didn't want to see me again, so he didn't even want to pick up his luggage."

The heroine frowned and looked at me worriedly.

"The plane to country A takes more than ten hours, and he has only been there for a long time, maybe it's still jet lag, I asked a friend from country A to help me go to his place last night to have a look, but my friend hasn't answered me yet."

"Don't worry, Joel was on the plane before, and it's normal that he can't be contacted."

The heroine didn't know the depth of my relationship with Li Joel, but when she saw that I was worried, she was still comforting me very gently.

She didn't know that I didn't even have the contact information for Li Joel.

I chatted with the heroine for a while, and finally after she promised me several times that she would notify me when she got the news, I was relieved to leave.

Before leaving, I had just stepped out of the door of the hostess's house, but suddenly something came to mind.

"On the 18th of last month, did you have a fight with Li Joel?"

On the 18th of last month, it was the day when Li Joel came to the door of my community to find me.,He was injured.,The explanation at the time was that there was an argument with the male owner.,Inadvertently scratched during the dispute.。

At the time, I felt that the wound on his arm was not an accidental scratch, but more like a defensive wound caused by a scuffle.

But I thought he was just saying it on purpose out of self-esteem, so I accepted it and didn't think much about it.

"No, Joel and I have never quarreled."

The heroine pondered for a moment, but seemed to remember something else.

"No. 18...... I remember one day last month, Joel answered a phone call and hurried out of the house, and didn't come back overnight, it seemed like it was the middle of the month, but I really can't remember if it was the 18th."

"Was he hurt that day?"

"I just remember that when he came back, his face was not very good, and his lower lip seemed to be a little swollen, if it hurts...... Probably not."

Except for the wound at the corner of his mouth, I have only bandaged his bleeding arm, and if the place is covered with the sleeve of the coat, as long as it does not ooze blood, it will not be obvious that it has been injured.

He lied to me.

If he had disappeared, I would have thought he was lying to find me unhappy, but after he promised to see me and then disappeared, it was hard for me not to connect these things to his complicated background.

Ignoring the heroine who wanted to continue to ask me about Li Joel's injury, I hurriedly said goodbye to her and drove all the way to the nearest police station.

I drove to the vicinity of the police station, and as soon as I parked my car in the parking space, I was knocked on the window by a tall strange man.

I looked up at the squeezing window, only to see him pull a watch out of his arms.

I recognized it at a glance as the watch I bought for him five years ago when I saw that Li Joel liked it.

The watch is not expensive, the workmanship is ordinary, but the design is brilliant. At that time, Li Joel liked this watch very much, and I had been carrying it with me from the first day I gave it to him, but I had never seen him wear it when we met again, and I thought he had thrown it away.

The metal strap of the watch in front of me has been worn out, and the glass has some old scratches, which obviously has been worn by the owner for a long time.

"If you still want the owner of this watch to be safe and sound, try to look as natural as possible and not attract attention."

The man saw me press the window and threw the watch in his hand into my arms.

"Unlock the door, let me sit in the passenger seat, and I'll take you to him."

At the man's request, I avoided the camera and drove all the way to an abandoned parking lot on the outskirts of the city, where I changed cars.

After changing cars, the man took my phone and wallet, tied my hands tightly, blindfolded me and stuffed me into the back seat of the car.

The car went around and around for a long time before it finally stopped.

I was escorted out of the car by a man and pushed all the way forward.

The sound of footsteps echoing in my ears, the faint smell of gasoline lingering nearby, the hot and humid but well-circulated air, and the sound of the elevator doors opening, I guessed that the place I was just now was in the underground parking lot of a building somewhere.

I moved to the side of the elevator and leaned my head against something that didn't seem to be a metal inner wall.

With the touch of my shoulder, I probably judged that this was a square elevator advertising screen.

I slammed backwards, pretended to stumble, and took advantage of the gap between the men pulling me over and touched the inner walls of the elevator on the other side.

The inner walls of the three sides of the elevator have advertising displays on both sides.

Although there is no sound of advertising, it at least proves that the building was either once occupied by a sufficient number of people, or that it is still occupied by people today.

The location of this building is not particularly remote.

Unless they rent the entire building, it is not easy to choose such a place to hold hostages.

Whether they are wealthy or fearless, their style of conduct is somewhat different from what I expected.

It was at this time that I suddenly realized that the man who had brought me to this place had been very gentle with me, and did not show any displeasure even when I deliberately stumbled.

There was no scolding, and even the action of pulling me up was patient.

When the worry about Li Joel faded, many strange things in this matter gradually became clear in my mind.

Speaking of which, this man appeared just before I was about to go to the police station to ask for help, and the timing was too accurate, as if he had planned it in advance.

I was pushed into a room by a man with doubts, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard Li Joel's voice.

「楚兮？」

Although Li Qiaoer's surprised voice was slightly weak, his speech was smooth and steady, and he could hear that he was not seriously injured.

"You promised me that you wouldn't touch her."

"We're running out of patience."

The man pushed me onto a chair and re-tied my hands and feet on the back of the chair legs, which seemed rough when tying me, but was careful not to hurt me.

"If you had been willing to work together, nothing would have happened."

With that, the man tore off the black cloth in front of my eyes, turned around and left the room.

I looked up and saw Li Joel, who was also tied to a chair directly opposite.

He had a few unobstructed injuries on his face, and his complexion was normal except for a slight weakness, and he did not look like he was tortured, but showed the pity of a sick and weak beauty.

The wound was so well designed that it had little utility other than to highlight his fragility and handsomeness.

I can almost conclude that this whole thing is a trap for Joel Lee.

I looked at him and silently gritted my teeth.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to involve you."

Li Joel's eyes were full of hypocritical guilt.

And now, I just want to blow up the head of this wolf-hearted little deflated dog.

But before I blow up his dog's head, I want to see how he is going to act.

"Want to talk about what the hell is going on?" There was no fluctuation in my tone.

Seeing that my expression was too cold, Li Qiaoer was stunned at first, and then quickly recovered his state, and continued to pretend to be guilty and sad, lowering his eyes and pretending not to look at me.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth after a proper pause.

He talks about how he was forced to work for someone from a complicated background because of his father's gambling debts, how he tried to get out of the power struggle, and finally had to stand on the opposite side in order to protect himself, and when he thought everything was calm, he came to country C, only to be pursued and threatened by the enemy.

"I just wanted to finish what you asked me to do, I thought I could simply leave after returning what I owed you, but all these years of longing have deepened after seeing you, and finally developed to the point where I can't control it."

"I can accept that you don't like me, but I can't accept that I didn't do anything and just watched you with someone you didn't like at all."

"So even though I knew I was going to cause you trouble, I couldn't resist approaching you."

"Perhaps, like my dad, I will pull the people closest to me into dangerous situations. Wasn't I supposed to be there in the first place?"

"It's hard to say."

I pursed my lips slightly, and after thinking about it, I replied with a sincere face:

"Although you said that you caused me to be involved in this, it also made me recognize my heart for Cheng Ge, and made me understand that I love him, and in a sense, I also need to thank you."

My reply was clearly unexpected.

Surprise flashed in Li Qiaoer's eyes, and he was stunned for a moment, as if he had forgotten the lines he had prepared.

"After you left three days ago, I went to find Cheng Ge, we talked for a long time, and after talking about everything, we set a wedding date."

I looked at him with a wry smile.

"If I can get away with it this time, I'd like to invite you to our wedding. I know you may be reluctant, but please consider that you have contributed to our happiness, and I hope that our union bears your witness."

"Order...... Marriage?"

When Li Qiaoer heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his face turned white in an instant.

He pondered in disbelief for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said with an excited face:

"Impossible, I will never make a mistake in judgment, you can't like Cheng Ge, you don't like him at all! You're a liar!"

"I like him." I had a tender look on my face.

"I really like him."

"Do you like why he chose to stay after I provoked him instead of chasing after him to explain it all? You have clearly chosen me."

"If love is buried deep for too long, it takes a process to discover it, and it was that hesitation that made me realize my heart."

Again, I gratefully repeated, "Thank you, Joel, really, thank you very much."

"You lied!"

Li Qiaoer couldn't pretend anymore, skimmed the weakness on his face, and loudly denied my statement.

"I'm not lying."

I glared at him defiantly.

"You don't like him at all."

"I like it."

"You don't like it."

"I like it."

"You don't like it!" Li Joel was annoyed.

"When you went to look for him three days ago, you didn't have a little joy on your face when you left, obviously you went to break up, how could you be engaged!"

"Also, if you really don't care about me, why do you go around asking about my whereabouts, worrying that you won't be able to eat well or sleep well for days?"

As the words fell, Li Joel seemed to realize that he had exposed his stuffing, and closed his mouth in horror.

I put away the gratitude I had just pretended, looked at him expressionlessly, and snorted coldly twice.

"Li Qiaoer, you have a lot of skills, even your master is deceived."

In a certain mission world, I have been on the road for a few years, and this kind of kidnapping and ransom is often done.

I used the ring on my index finger to reveal a narrow sharp blade to cut the last connection of the rope, and I moved to break the rope off my body, and untied the restraint from my foot with a neat movement.

"It's a pity, although your master and I are much slower than before, we are not stupid enough."

"I'm worried about you because I'm different from you, and I still have a conscience."

I got up and walked behind him, snatched the half of the glass that had been prepared in his hand, and tied the rope on his body with my hand, and re-tied the perfunctory knot into a dead knot.

"Li Joel, let me ask you, when did you start lying to me?"

I reached out and grabbed his ear and tugged at it angrily.

Li Qiaoer wailed, and someone moved outside the door, as if he wanted to enter the door.

"This is a personal vendetta, if you helpers dare to come in and join in the fun, I will clean you up together!"

Silence suddenly returned to the door.

Li Qiaoer smiled weakly, and was about to speak, but I pulled my ear again and let out a wail.

"Chu Xi, I was wrong, I was really wrong—"

"It's Miss He, not Chu Xi."

"Then even if you kill me, I will call you Chu Xi, and I will not call Miss He, Sister Chu Xi, or He Chuxi to death."

Li Joel closed his eyes and looked like he was at home.

"I like you, and I don't accept that there is anything other than a relationship between me and you other than a couple."

I almost laughed when I heard it.

"Say, when did you start lying to me?"

"The first time I lied to you was when I went to look for you that night."

"And when did you start plotting to pretend you'd be kidnapped?"

"From the moment you decided to date Cheng Ge."

"You—"

I was so angry that I turned my hand and pinched him in the face.

Seeing a red mark on his face, his anger subsided a little.

"Why are you doing this! Say!"

"I really just wanted to do what you asked me to do."

Speaking of this, Li Qiaoer suddenly showed a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"For so many years, I always thought that you liked the eldest lady, otherwise why did you teach me how to approach her, so I have always been determined to let go of you, who knows that you don't like her before."

"If you like Cheng Ge, then I can let you be together, but you don't like him at all. You taught me that if two people don't really like each other, then I can find a way to break them up, but I'm doing a good thing."

Li Joel stared straight at me, his back straightened a lot.

"You taught me."

"I—"

I choked on the words, and I couldn't speak for a while, so I could only cough twice.

"You can't say that...... You're an adult, you can't say what I say, you have to have your own ideas—"

"You admit there's something wrong with what you've taught me?"

Li Qiaoer saw that I was weak-hearted, and he was quite in a posture of kicking his nose and face.

"You teach me badly, and you are responsible."

"Then you're still looking for someone to kidnap me, why aren't you responsible!"

"I'm in charge, and I'll be in charge of the rest of your life."

Li Qiaoer looked at me with a very solemn expression.

His overly affectionate eyes made me a little uncomfortable.

The skin that touched his ear suddenly became excessively soft and hot, and I let go of his ear and pretended to take a half-step back naturally.

"Do you have anything to do with the people you call people with complicated backgrounds?"

My heart began to beat faster for no apparent reason, and I had to turn around and tear away from the subject.

"I kindly sent you back to China, not to let you go astray like your father and harm others and yourself."

"I studied computer programming."

Li Joel seemed to see my panic, and his tone was a little petty, and he replied to the question.

"Don't get off the hook."

"You're the one to get away with it first."

I was so choked by him that I turned my head and glared at him.

"Okay, if you don't say yes, then don't talk."

Ignoring his refusal, I turned and walked to the door of the room, and was about to open it when I heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground behind me.

Turning around, Li Qiaoer fell to the ground head-on, and his whole face fell to the ground, as if blood was overflowing.

I hurriedly ran towards him, untied the rope and struggled to lift him up, only to see that he was bleeding from his nose.

I shouted outside the door, and several strong men opened the door and came in, seeing Li Qiaoer's blue nose and swollen face, they looked at him, and then looked at me, but they didn't move for a long time, as if they were hesitating to meddle in this family matter.

I was worried that Li Qiaoer would hurt his head, so I could only take the initiative to ask for help and ask them to help me get him to the hospital first.

When a few big men heard my request, they were about to step forward, but they were stopped by Li Qiaoer in my arms raising his hand.

"When I made this plan, I knew you were going to be angry."

Lee Joel wiped his nosebleed and laughed weakly.

"I didn't have anything to do with those people, I just tampered with a few pictures, a few web pages, a few emails, and bribed a few people. I know that with Cheng Ge's background, at most I can check whether I have a criminal record, and other sources of information are probably not as complete as yours. According to my plan, within three months, you won't find anything strange."

"Later, as soon as I heard that Cheng Ge had taken over a sexual harassment case, the client was in your community, and I knew that Cheng Ge would follow the police to check the surveillance during that time, so I ran to you non-stop that night, so that Cheng Ge could see me spending the night at your house, and he would also check my identity and background because of this, and find the things I had prepared a long time ago."

"It's just that I didn't expect Cheng Ge to come so suddenly, a few days earlier than I planned. Fortunately, I was able to make things more effective with half the effort because I was in a hurry, and I was able to do it with half the effort."

"I'm smart, I've used everything you taught me."

Lee Joel wiped a nosebleed and gave himself a thumbs up in front of me.

"Oscar for Best Apprentice, I feel like I deserve a full gold trophy."

It's hard to imagine that such a gloomy and silent teenager would become such a white-eyed wolf with a bad stomach and a flamboyant tongue under my guidance.

I was in a complicated mood for a while, and I could only look up at the sky.

"Regret teaching me that?"

Seeing my melancholy, Lee Joel raised his hand to wipe another nosebleed, and put his other clean hand on my face.

"It's too late to regret it, you taught me badly, and I have to be responsible to the end."

He looked affectionate, only to be spoiled by the messy nosebleed mark that ruined his handsomeness.

My emotion rushed up, and I got stuck in my chest and was neatly washed down by the nosebleed that came out of his nostrils again.

I was silent for a long time, but decided to take him to the hospital first to see his brain.

Li Qiaoer behind him rolled around under the restraint of two big men, one on the left and one on the right, and I picked up the steps and left the room while holding my forehead.

15

Retribution, Li Joel is my retribution.

16

After being discharged from the hospital, Lee Joel was lying in my apartment with his luggage in a dead face.

He said that he couldn't hold chopsticks and spoons because of the fracture of his right hand, and pretended to be disgusted and asked me to blow the rice cold and feed it to him.

Suddenly he said that he couldn't sleep on the sofa due to back strain, crying and shouting to sleep on the bed.

Suddenly, he said that he couldn't take a bath by himself because of his inconvenient legs and feet, and asked me to rub his back myself......

I was so annoyed that I almost couldn't resist calling the police directly and asking the police to arrest him.

"It's too hot."

After being beaten by me, Li Qiaoer finally reluctantly picked up the spoon himself, but before he could eat it, he began to make a mistake and say that the soup was too hot.

"You blow it for me."

I closed my eyes and held back my anger.

"It's really hot."

Li Qiaoer sneered, and stretched the spoon of soup in front of me again.

"If you don't believe me, try it."

I finally couldn't hold back my anger, and I raised my hand to lift the table, but I knocked his spoon crooked.

I saw the soup in the spoon spill on the table, and Li Qiaoer also covered his eyes.

"Pain——"

He looked very painful.

I was worried, and I didn't think he might be cheating on me again.

I quickly got up to look at him, and grabbed his face and asked him to look away and show me in the eyes.

Li Joel wailed as he slowly removed his hand.

I leaned in to take a closer look at his closed eyes, when he suddenly struck me and kissed him on the lips.

The dragonfly kissed the water, but my face suddenly became hot and red because of the body temperature that was touching away.

I stared at him dumbfounded, only to see him smiling with a wicked smile.

"As you taught me, I think it's time to take the initiative."

Seeing that I clenched my fist, Li Qiaoer quickly gathered his smugness, and got up in a panic to distance himself from me.

"You taught me this, I put what I learned into practice, and you should be happy!"

He didn't forget to explain as he fled.

"Well, the evil that I have taught with my own hands, I will get rid of it with my own hands today!"

"It's illegal to kill!"

"The judge will give me a commutation if he knows the cause and effect."

"Ahhh

……

The corridor echoes the wails of Li Joel for three days, accompanied by the sound of messy and hurried footsteps, intertwined into an elegant masterpiece of postmodern art.

This masterpiece of fate begins with the tiny amplitude of the causal deviation, so that two unrelated parallel lines can accidentally touch and intersect under the long-term tilt, and finally become the end of mutual love.
