Ch. 01 Don’t laugh, you don’t look like him when you laugh

    While his consciousness was blurred, the voice of a conversation came intermittently in his ears.

    “Congratulations… Yes, this radical heart surgery [1] was very successful. I am optimistic that he will be no different from a normal person in the future…”

    “Yes, the patient’s body is still recovering, and he may be asleep for a few more days… It’s not a big problem, just take a good rest…”

    His eyelids were heavy and could not be opened. Shi Qingning was in a weak state to even determine who those voices belonged to, but at the same time he couldn’t help but wonder.

    Did I not have a congenital heart disease. And was it not a rare kind of deviation from the usual case? Moreover, when the disease was discovered, the best time for treatment had already been missed, and his physical condition was so poor that even radical surgery could not be performed, palliative surgery [2] being the only way to maintain the treatment.

    So why is the doctor saying that he is now cured?

    Is it possible that he was still dreaming?

    Shi Qingning pondered, trying to open his eyes to see the environment he was currently in.

    But his body is too weak, it seems that just maintaining this short-lived consciousness has exhausted all his strength, let alone moving awake.

    Fatigue came over him like a tide. Shi Qingning had experienced this kind of situation where he couldn’t control his body many times before, and had long been accustomed to hovering on the edge of life and death.

    But this time, the dull pain in his body was much lighter than expected, as if the boulder that had been pressing on his chest was suddenly removed, leaving him with only mild and harmless fatigue.

    It was as if the health that was always like an unattainable dream had come to Shi Qingning like a real and timely gift.

    Shi Qingning finally fell asleep.

    The sharp pains that always occurred from time to time were gone, helping him slept soundly this time. A few times in the middle, when he was half awake he also noticed that someone was feeding him water and turning him over, but because of exhaustion, he could only fall asleep again.

    When he finally woke up, Shi Qingning’s first reaction was to relax.

    The body felt a lot hollow as if it had just lost a bag full of fresh blood. However, there was no feeling of restraint from complicated equipment that are usually attached to his body. Shi Qingning slowly opened his eyes, his vision gradually became clear, and a large area of pure white was in front of him.

    This is the hospital.

    The layout of the ward was very unfamiliar, Shi Qingning raised his hand and groped around the pillow. There are usually adjustment knobs on the bedside of the hospital bed.

    He’s very familiar with this sort of thing.

    Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Shi Qingning to touch the knob, adjust the height of the bed frame by himself, and then half sit up and lean against the head of the bed.

    Without the familiar dizziness and tingling after waking up, Shi Qingning felt as if he was still in a dream even though he was awake.

    After he finally calmed down, he noticed his hand.

    This hand…why does it feel a little small?

    When Shi Qingning was about to observe himself carefully, he heard a soft sound from outside the door.

    An aunt dressed as a nanny gently pushed open the door and walked in. When she looked up, she saw the boy sitting on the bed.

    The aunt immediately froze, and the tray in her hand fell to the ground with a bang.

    “You’re awake?!”

    The aunt didn’t even bother to pick up the tray, as she walked in quickly but then suddenly stopped again, and hastily rubbed her palms on her dress.

    “I, I’ll call someone!”

    Not long after, a few people wearing white coats walked into the ward. Next to them was a woman with delicate makeup and a gentle temperament.

    The woman walked the fastest, hurriedly looking at the boy on the bed.

    With just one glance, her eyes instantly turned red.

    “Xiao Ning!” [3]

    Shi Qingning was a little puzzled.

    His body felt lighter than ever before, and his consciousness crystal clear, but the people in front of him, whether it was the nanny, the doctors, or the excited woman.

    Shi Qingning is sure that he doesn’t know anyone of them.

    Several doctors came forward and did a simple examination on Shi Qingning.

    “No problem, all the indicators are normal.” A middle-aged doctor said with a smile, “This time the congenital heart surgery was successful, you can rest assured.”

    This is the same as what Shi Qingning heard when he was in a state of confusion before.

    At this time, Shi Qingning finally determined something.

    This was not his own body.

    This body is too small, with pale white fingers and a slender skeleton, it looks like he has not yet grown up. The most important thing is that Shi Qingning was clearly suffering from a terminal illness, but now it has been judged that he has been cured and can live like a normal person.

    “The radical surgery was a success.”

    One should know that this sentence is like the sound of an angel that many congenital heart disease patients are eager to hear even in their dreams.

    The woman on the side hurriedly made a few calls to talk about Shi Qing Ning’s awakening, and then thanked the doctors. After sending off those few people, the ward finally became quiet.

    The nanny went to prepare lunch, so there were only two people left in the room. The woman sat by the bed, looked at him carefully, and asked softly.

    “Baby, do you feel better?”

    The woman was wearing extravagant clothes and a delicate makeup, but there was no smell of perfume on her body, only a very light soap fragrance, probably because she is taking care of a heart patient, she deliberately does not use perfume, in case it irritates the patient.

    Judging from her caring attitude, she should be a very close person, and Shi Qingning also has a vague feeling of familiarity with her.

    But when he looked closely, Shi Qingning couldn’t recall any specific memory related to her.

    Seeing Shi Qingning looking at her with unfamiliar eyes, although the woman’s expression was still gentle, her smile was a little stressed.

    “Are you still angry with your mother?”

    Sure enough, she was the mother of this body, no wonder she felt familiar.

    But what was she saying about being angry?

    Shi Qingning found that he did not have any memory of this body.

    So, he decided to just wait and see.

    “It’s not that Mom doesn’t let you meet him, these things are negotiable.”

    Speaking of which, the woman took a breath and maintained her tone of voice.

    “But you can’t, you can’t make fun of your life…”

    “…?”

    There was a big question mark in Shi Qingning’s brain.

    In order to survive, he struggles more than anyone else, but why does it sound like he was seeking death himself?

    Shi Qingning tried to recall what he was doing before he fell into a coma, but unfortunately he didn’t succeed. He was a little confused how things were going on, but he didn’t open his mouth to ask anything.

    Facing someone close like this body’s mother and when he hasn’t figured out the situation yet, it will be very risky to talk and can even be seen through if he acts rashly.

    Shi Qingning didn’t say a word, but just looked straight at her. The woman seemed to be used to her son’s ignorance of her, and was not suspicious at all, as if the two had always been getting along this way.

    Her eyes reddened as she spoke, but she still held back with her voice still being gentle.

    “If you want to see Jian Ren in the future, you can go see him, okay? Mom won’t stop you anymore, as long as you take care of your health. Don’t do such silly things again…”

    Jian Ren?

    The name is so unique that Shi Qingning immediately remembered.

    …Isn’t this the name of a person in a novel that he read?

    So has he entered that novel now?

    Shi Qingning finally figured out a clue and began to think hard.

    But his memory was still a bit hazy, and he only vaguely remembered that it was a sadistic novel filled with dog-blood.

    But when he tried to recall the specific content of the book, his head began to hurt.

    The memory area of his brain was stimulated, and even the forehead began to throb.

    “Mom knows that today is his birthday, but now your body still needs rest. Otherwise, in two days, mom will hold another birthday party for him at the best hotel in Haicheng. After you have rested, you can go to participate, okay… “

     Mother Shi suddenly stopped talking and showed a horrified expression, “Baby!”

    She hurriedly took a tissue to wipe his face, as her voice changed, and even her fingers were shaking.

    Only then did Shi Qingning realize that he had a nosebleed.

    Bright red blood dripped down, soaking the paper towels. There were also bursts of tingling pain in his forehead. Shi Qingning trying to recall his memories was obviously beyond what his body could hold.

    He took the tissue, covered his nose and said in a muffled voice, “It’s okay.”

    But in Mother Shi’s eyes, this became a reaction to resisting her touch.

    “Well……”

    She finally retracted her stretched out hand stiffly.

    Mother Shi didn’t dare to mention what happened just now, for fear of irritating the him again, so she could only continue to help with the tissue paper, at the same time hurriedly wiping her tears with her hands.

    When the nosebleed finally stopped, Mother Shi forced a smile and said, “Mom won’t say anything.”

    “Then I’ll ask the driver to take you there, okay?”

    She was cautious and even a little humble.

    “It’s cold outside, it’s not convenient for you to go by yourself.”

    Even Shi Qingning’s brief “um” was enough to make her look happy as if her wish had come true.

    *

    Haicheng, ‘The Player’ Bar.

    Today, a notice board was set up at the entrance of the bar and the words “Reserved for Today” were written.

    Some guests who didn’t pay attention to the notice went to the door and wanted to enter, but were politely persuaded by the waiter outside the door.

    In the bar lobby, the rhythmic background music was going on, and the entire space had been redecorated.

    Two huge purple numbers, 22, were lit on the center light covered wall. At a glance, it looked very dazzling.

    There were already some guests in the hall, and many people were surrounding a tall and thin man, with no lack of envy in their words.

    “The player is the best bar in Haicheng. It’s worthy of being a young master to be able to book a room here!”

    “Today is still a weekend. Usually, a ticket costs two hundred on the weekends. Young Master Jian’s birthday party sure is very big this time.”

    Someone sneered, “What best bar in Haicheng? Young master Jian is from the Capital. The bars there are much more classy and bigger than this one, so it’s not considered a very big party, alright?”

    Listening to so many people bragging and complimenting him, Jian Ren, who was stared at by the crowd, had a cold expression, with obvious lack of interest, and never showed much enthusiasm towards anything.

    In the eyes of everyone, it is the evidence that he is someone used to much bigger things and won’t be surprised by something so small.

    “There will be a few more bands and internet celebrities coming over in a while, all of which are usually the kind that you won’t be able to invite, and who came just for the sake of young master Jian’s face.”

    “Hey, if you are really saying like that, then please… it must be because of that young master Shi, right?”

    As soon as the name came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

    Jian Ren also raised his eyes.

    His pupils are extremely dark, and ends of his eyes are sharp making him look cold, and causing people to dare not look at him directly.

    Others were curious, “Who? Young Master Shi? The youngest son of the richest man in Haicheng?”

    “Yes, it’s Shi Qingning, the most precious jewel of the Shi family. He seems to have… a congenital heart disease? Anyway, the family is very protective of him, they were never even willing to let him out before.”

    “Oh yes, wasn’t he photographed once a few years ago? Just a snap shot and it went viral on several media websites.”

    This immediately aroused the interest of many people.

    “Is there a photo? Have you seen it?”

    “No, it was immediately suppressed by the Shi family, and disappeared from the entire Internet. If it wasn’t for this, no one would have even known that the Shi family had such a well-protected young master.”

    “Really? What does he look like…”

    The discussion was very lively, and Mrs. Shi was also a well-known beauty in Haicheng. The speculations on the appearance of the young master of the Shi family extended into various versions.

    But only the man who never opened his mouth knew.

    All the rumors were not even half as good as that man.

    Jian Ren looked down at the cup in front of him and recalled that pale face.

    The eyes as beautiful as a starry sky, the cheeks as soft as a marshmallow, the long and thin eyelashes, and the beauty that even his everlasting sickness can’t hide.

    The swirling wine in the glass reflected the warm amber light in the man’s eyes.

    There is one thing that Jian Ren has never denied.

    Young Master Shi is really good looking.

    A few people next to him noticed Jian Ren’s expression, looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and asked, “Brother Jian, how is the progress between you and Young Master Shi?”

    There were still people who didn’t know anything, “What progress? Isn’t that young master a man?”

    “What happened to being a man? It’s not uncommon now.”

    “No, I mean Young Master Jian, didn’t he have girlfriends before…?”

    “Oh, it’s just for fun, do you really think our brother Jian will be serious?”

    “That’s right, I haven’t seen any beauty that can catch Brother Jian before.”

    “But to say that the young master is even better than a beautiful woman, or its just Brother Jian that doesn’t like it…”

    “Speaking of which, Young Master Jian is still very powerful. That little young master is really infatuated to death.”

    “The word infatuated to death is not an exaggeration at all. I have a cousin-in-law in the hospital. Hey, Brother Jian, I heard… He wanted to die for you?”

    As soon as these words came out, it really shocked everyone around.

    The scene was quiet for a few seconds before someone swore.

    “Fuck me?! Is he so infatuated? Brother Jian, you truly are a master!”

    “Really! Look at how many people tried to cozy up to him before but couldn’t even meet him. And then look at our Brother Jian, there is no comparison!”

    Jian Ren was playing with the shaker, and a few easy and smooth throwing movements caused another cry of exclamation. He caught the shaker and raised his eyelids lazily.

    “I didn’t know that he was the son of the richest man in Haicheng.”

    Hearing him, the others laughed, “What’s the matter with being the richest man’s son, isn’t he still subdueded by our Young Master Jian?”

    “Oh, by the way, will he come to the birthday party today?”

    Someone asked in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that he looked for death before…”

    All eyes were focused on Jian Ren.

    But they only heard Jian Ren say something.

    “He didn’t really die.”

    There was silence all around.

    But the person who spoke still looked indifferent and continued to bartend. The liquor poured out of the shaker, with the accumulated foam gradually settling on top.

    A slice of fresh-cut lime hanged on top of it, adorned with tiny bubbles.

    It wasn’t until the lemon cocktail was prepared that Jian Ren continued to speak.

    “Today’s birthday party, I sent him an invitation.”

    The person next to him teased, “Yo, Brother Jian took the initiative?”

    Jian Ren said lightly, “Some benefit must be given.”

    This remark elicited another round of whistling and laughter.

    “Damn, that little young master didn’t die last time, so he is happily rushing to die this time, right?”

    “This is the essence of being a playboy!”

    “Master, this is what a master is!”

    Jian Ren remembered the look in those big watery eyes, and didn’t say anything.

    When the man laughed, it indeed looked quite a beautiful.

    What’s more… He is also the son of the richest man in Haicheng.

    Jian Ren picked up the wine glass, took a sip, bit the slice of lime, and put it in his mouth.

    The sweet and sour flavor erupted between his lips and teeth.

    His dark eyes were as cold as abyss.

    Unexpectedly, this time he was thrown out of the capital by those idiots, and had to run to this crude and vulgar place, but could still have an unexpected harvest.

    The richest man in Haicheng, even if he is not ranked in the capital, it is enough for him to make a comeback in the Jian family.

    Little by little, Jian Ren slowly devoured and crushed the lime.

    It seems that the goddess of luck is still on his side.

    *

    In the car, the bodyguard sitting in the back row had a serious expression on his face and sat with a straight back. Although he was looking forward, his mind was all on the beautiful boy beside him.

    This is his first day on job, but the bodyguard has already heard a lot about this young master.

    Second young master Shi [4] suffers from congenital heart disease. He has been spoiled at home since he was a child, and is rarely able to go out. He never liked being followed by bodyguards like a prisoner, because of this he even fell out with his family and didn’t want to be controlled anymore.

    As a result, a few days ago, something happened to the young master.

    Fortunately, the operation was successful, and there was no serious problem.

    After the incident, all the bodyguards around second young master Shi were changed over and over again. He was just transferred over, and it was even a death order, so he must protect the young master.

    Even if the young master refuses.

    Therefore he is now sitting in the back row at the same time as the second young master Shi – at the risk that the other party may be furious and blast him down at any time.

    But when he actually met the real person, he felt that… the other party didn’t look like he would lose his temper casually.

    He’s so good looking.

    The character also seems good, and there is no flaw at all – even when he opened the door and asked the young master to get in the car, the young master thanked him.

    After pondering for a moment, he started his next mission as instructed.

    He took out a warm and fluffy white down jacket, “Second Young Master, Madam said, to let you put on your jacket before getting off the car.”

    The bodyguard is ready for repeated persuasion or even failure. Children don’t like listening to their parents’ nagging, and they don’t like such thick and large clothes. The bodyguard also has a younger sister, and she always wishes to just go out with a single trousers, so that her legs will look thin.

    Moreover, the young master is still going to attend the birthday party of his sweetheart this time. The down jacket and the bar are completely incompatible.

    But unexpectedly, second young master Shi, who had been thinking something all along heard the voice, just glanced at the person, and took the initiative to pick up the down jacket.

    It was not obvious on the bodyguard’s face, but there was still some surprise in his heart.

    Wrapped in a soft down jacket, the young master looks a little younger. Before the bodyguard could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the other person ask, “What’s your name?”

    The veins on the forehead of the bodyguard tightened, but he still respectfully said, “Sun Ming.”

    “Brother Sun, can you do me a favor?”

    “Just say.”

    “When you go into the bar, please don’t come with me.”

    The young master doesn’t like being followed, the bodyguard knows it clearly.

    But he didn’t expect the other party’s next sentence.

    “Can you walk in a few steps apart from me?”

    The bodyguard was stunned, “Do you agree with us to follow you?”

    “Is it okay?” Shi Qingning asked, “I plan to solve it myself, but to be on the safer side, I still want to ask you to take care of it.”

    “Solve it by yourself…” The bodyguard couldn’t believe it, “You mean…?”

    “Well.” Shi Qingning said, “Solve the problem between me and Jian Ren.”

    “You don’t plan to talk to him anymore?” Although the bodyguard didn’t know why the young master suddenly changed mind, but seeing that the young master had finally woken up, he still hurried to persuade, “Madam would be very happy if she knew about it… Have you told the madam about this?”

    “No,” Shi Qingning shook her head, “She probably won’t believe it.”

    The bodyguard was speechless.

    This is true.

    After all, even his first reaction when he heard this was to not believe it.

    But what surprised him even more was what the other party said next.

    “To deal with this matter fundamentally, we must start with Jian Ren.”

    The fifteen-year-old boy was recovering from a serious illness, but he did not look like a weak and cowardly child when he spoke so calmly.

    Although his memory was still a little hazy, Shi Qingming’s thinking was very clear.

    Solving the man who killed the original young master Shi is the first priority.

    In addition, he also has another problem to consider.

    Even if the young master has a stiff relationship with his family, they are still his relatives who have been with him for many years.

    If he stays with the original owner’s family all the time, they may feel suspicious if he is even a little careless.

    So then why doesn’t he meet this Jian Ren and see what’s different about him.

    The bodyguard did not know that Shi Qingning had regarded Jian Ren as a little boss who could drop experience and tasks after the fight like in an online game, when he was still a little worried about the impact of meeting Jian Ren on the young master, “Or, if you ask Madam to come over and deal with it, it might be more…”

    Shi Qingning smiled. He was already good-looking and this smile of his can easily make people’s hearts soften a bit.

    But what he said did not match his sweet face at all.

    “Let mother come forward?” Shi Qingning said, “Is he worthy?”

    The bodyguard was shocked and lost his words for a while.

    Indeed, no matter what happened to the second young master Shi and Jian Ren, for the outside world, at most, it was a petty mess among young people.

    But if Mrs. Shi is really allowed to come forward, it will inevitably make people speculate about the intentions of the Shi family…

    Only then did the bodyguard realize that the young master who looked pale from sickness was in fact, far sharper than what his appearance said.

    This time, it seemed that something was really different.

    The car quickly drove to ‘The Player’. Shi Qingming got off the car and took the lead to go inside.

    There is a corridor after entering the door, and one has to take the elevator to go upstairs. Shi Qingning raised his hand and pressed it on the dark wall, which was quite soft to touch.

    There is thick sound insulation installed all over the place.

    When he came, he found out that it wasn’t a clean place at all.

    There is also the weird fragrance, so much that Shi Qingning raised his hand to cover the tip of his nose, showing an expression of disgust.

    So strong that one can easily end up choking.

    Weak people are not suitable for this kind of place at all.

    What’s more, the original owner is still a heart disease patient who has just recovered.

    Jian Ren would invite him here to celebrate his birthday, showing that he didn’t take him to heart at all.

    How could he like this kind of person?

    Shi Qingling thought.

    Sure enough, it’s something that only happens in dog-blood novels.

    He walked towards the hall under the guidance of the waiter. On the way, he also found that the waiter kept looking at him intentionally or unintentionally.

    Shi Qingning knew that as a young master, it would have been weird to come here. He glanced at the other party and found that there was no familiarity, so he ignored him.

    As he was approaching the hall, he saw that the room was full of people, but as soon as Shi Qingning entered, the entire hall was silent for a moment.

    No one introduced who the visitor was, but seeing the face, everyone confirmed his identity.

    Sure enough, it is a look that can instantly explode in popularity on the Internet just from a picture – if there were people who had doubts about this before, they all dismissed those thoughts at the first sight of Shi Qingning.

    Purely amazing.

    Unlike the guests present, the boy was not well-dressed and only wore a simple snow-white down jacket. If someone else wears this kind of clothes and goes directly to the bar, they are afraid they won’t know how long they will be laughed at, but the second young master Shi’s face turned the entire dazzling hall into a runway built specially for him.

    Many people even held their breath subconsciously at the first sight of him.

    The boy’s lips were pale, his eyebrows looked elegant, and although the lights in the hall were bright and mixed, but only a thin layer of clear light fell on his face, making people think of the fresh snow falling at the beginning of winter.

    The most beautiful were those pair of eyes. The youth’s face that has been lacking in blood all year round, originally looked a little cold, but the pair of honey-colored eyes added a bit of color to it. The light in his eyes made people feel as if his whole being was covered in sunlight.

    Many people were stunned for a long time, and the first thought that came up after the shock was—it’s no wonder the Shi family protects their youngest son so tightly.

    Anyone who has a kid like him at home will want to hide him tightly, away from everyone else.

    Not even letting anyone snoop around.

    The background music also finished just when Shi Qingning came in, and the DJ forgot to continue the next song because he was simply stunned watching the person who just came in.

    The low voice was a good thing for Shi Qingning, at least it was much quieter.

    He swept his eyes around, and immediately saw the man in the middle of the hall.

    Jian Ren was sitting in the middle of the crowd, looking up at the door leisurely.

    Sure enough, the other party was looking at him.

    Jian Ren knows how much this young master likes him. Whenever second young master Shi looked at his face before, his eyes would be solely focused on him.

    But now, the feeling of being watched by the same person but in front of the crowd was much more pleasing.

    Jian Ren didn’t get up, just raised his chin.

    “Come over.”

    The two were not far apart, he easily saw the boy’s clear eyes, his long curled eyelashes moving slightly, and the shadow casted by the bright light overhead.

    He spoke softly, as if hesitating and shy, “Jian Ren?”

    Looking at his pleasing face, Jian Ren felt happier and raised his eyebrows.

    “What, haven’t seen you for a few days, and you have forgotten your brother Jian?”

    Everyone else in the hall was quiet, looking at the two of them, some people were excited, some were curious, and some people were busy thinking about something.

    It was not long after Jian Ren came to Haicheng. The reason why he was able to invite so many people to his birthday party today was not only because some people came to flatter him with the name of Capital’s Jian family, but there were also many visitors for the Shi family’s sake. For the Shi family’s little boy.

    In Haicheng, the name of the Shi family and the richest man, is obviously much more attractive than the Capital’s Jian family.

    The young master of the Shi family has never made any public appearances before. Those half-true rumors of love that are spreading like crazy are the only thing known about him. Just having the opportunity to meet the second young master of the Shi family is enough to make many people move their hands and feet to participate in this birthday party.

    Looking at it now, those rumors seem to be true.

    Many people thought to themselves.

    Looking at Jian Ren’s tone, it does seem like he is very familiar with second young master Shi.

    And after Jian Ren finished speaking, everyone saw second young master Shi walk towards him.

    Jian Ren also saw that the boy still didn’t look anywhere else and just kept looking at him.

    Those eyes were so focused that his heart started becoming soft.

    Shi Qingning was indeed looking at Jian Ren, and as he got closer, he looked even more closely.

    Among so many people in the hall, he recognized this person at a glance.

    Jian Ren gave him a clear sense of familiarity.

    Shi Qingning remembered that dog-blood novel. It seemed that the sadomasochistic novel had even been made into a movie, so when Shi Qingning saw the other party’s face, he was reminded a little.

    There does seem to be a richest family in the novel, but there were very few scenes regarding them. The role of the second young master of the Shi family is only mentioned in the background, and the entire Shi family is just a cannon fodder used as a stepping stone.

    With the progress of his memory recovery, Shi Qingning decided to look at more people, and try to complete the main storyline of the novel.

    However, after taking a closer look, Shi Qingning realized that Jian Ren’s situation was different from what he expected.

    When he first woke up and saw Mother Shi, Shi Qingning also felt a strong sense of familiarity, and that was because she was a relative of this body.

    But Jian Ren’s familiarity was not because of how profound his influence was on Second Young Master Shi—

    Shi Qingning took a few steps closer and finally confirmed.

    It’s because Jian Ren looks a lot like someone.

    However, many details in Jian Ren’s appearance were obviously different.

    Commonly known as the low-end [5] version.

    Someone like him but of a higher version seemed to be the one that Shi Qingning was really familiar with. Shi Qingning looked at Jian Ren carefully, trying to imagine the outline of that person from the Jian Ren’s face.

    Jian Ren, who was so intently watched, was very satisfied.

    A young master who is held in the palm of his family’s hands and cannot be reached by others at all, his eyes are full of himself. This kind of pleasure makes Jian Ren unable to help but sigh.

    He looked at Shi Qingning with a smile on his lips.

    Some of the onlookers who had known Jian Ren for a long time were shocked by this scene.

    Who would have thought that young master Jian, who has always been cold-hearted, would show such a smile to someone?

    It was the first time they had seen Jian Ren show an expression like this.

    There was a hunch in the hearts of several people present, that young master Jian was probably really moved this time.

    They murmured again in their hearts.

    This pairing isn’t really going to work, is it?

    But those who Jian Ren liked before were all girls…

    Those who came for Young Master Shi were also thinking to themselves.

    Looking at this situation, the relationship between the two seems to indeed be unusual.

    Everyone was looking at them, and Jian Ren can naturally notice the many eyes on him.

    But he didn’t care, just looked at Shi Qingning with a smile on his lips, with those cold brows and sharp eyes softening a bit.

    The young master walked to Jian Ren.

    He paused for a moment and spoke softly.

    “Do not laugh.”

    As he got closer, the young master’s delicate appearance became more and more amazing.

    Jian Ren was stunned by the appearance of the man in front of him, as his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously listened to the other party and did as he said, and put away the smile on his face.

    The way the boy frowned and spoke made people unable to disobey him at all.

    In order to smoothen his eyebrows [6], he will not hesitate to go to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire.
