Chapter 1180: Little Angel and Psycho 22

Xi Er's complaining words were truly unpleasant to Shen Liuqing's ears; he watched the person held in Jin Chen's arms, jealousy flashing in his eyes.

Shen Liuqing followed them back to the Living Room, composed his emotions and tone, then helplessly smiled and said to Jin Chen, "Your little lover doesn't seem too welcoming of me."

"He said you never mentioned me in front of him… A-Chen, are you still holding a grudge against me?"

When Jin Chen looked over, Shen Liuqing's tears welled up and fell, "But these past few years without seeing each other, I really missed you."

Jin Chen's tone was calm, "You can't afford a ticket to return home?"

Shen Liuqing: "……"

He pinched his fingertips, unaffected, just gave a bitter smile, "Back then, suddenly wanting to leave was my fault; I have no face to come see you."

"But A-Chen… you being able to say this at least proves you haven't truly forgotten me."

After Jin Chen returned, Xi Er grew bolder, covering Jin Chen's ears with both hands so he couldn't hear, and whispered complaints.

"I'm hungry."

"A-Chen!" Shen Liuqing felt somewhat gloomy.

Jin Chen took Xi Er's hand away, glanced back at Shen Liuqing again.

"Shut up, get out."

"Oh dear, don't make a fuss!"

Laolunsi timely stepped in to smooth things over, still remembering that Shen Liuqing's grandfather could treat Jin Chen; although he wasn't particularly welcoming either, he still had the person come inside.

"Eat first, come eat quickly."

Shen Liuqing wouldn't leave so easily; he followed them to the restaurant.

Xi Er, who had no appetite just moments ago, was now held in Jin Chen's arms, clinging to be fed.

Jin Chen pressed on his chest, "Does it hurt today?"

"Yes."

Xi Er said, then became upset again, raising his hand to point at Shen Liuqing.

"Because of him."

Shen Liuqing, still pondering his words, looked up in surprise, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Hmph."

Xi Er gave a cold snort, turned his head away not looking, pitifully gazing at Jin Chen, "He's angry at me."

"Very fierce."

Jin Chen watched him utter complaint after complaint, couldn't help finding it somewhat amusing, pinching his face in a light reprimand, "Arrogant from favor."

Xiao Tian Shi felt extremely wronged, slumped against Jin Chen's shoulder.

"Don't scold me, scold him."

Jin Chen wanted Shen Liuqing to leave, but he didn't know what Laolunsi was up to, constantly gesturing with his eyes for him to stay silent.

On the contrary, Shen Liuqing was unwilling to be left out, tightly gripping his chopsticks as he watched this harmonious scene, his expression bitter.

"A-Chen, you said before you would give me that piano; is it still here?"

Upon mentioning the piano again, Xi Er's complexion changed, he stubbornly rose and stared, seemingly also wanting to wait for an answer.

Only Laolunsi silently watched the show.

Jin Chen raised his brows in puzzlement, trying to recall the origin of that piano.

It was indeed originally intended by the previous owner to give to Shen Liuqing, but it wasn't accepted, so the previous owner kept it locked in the music room.

Jin Chen: "……" Damn.

With him staying silent like that, what else does Xi Er not understand?

Seeing Xiao Tian Shi's face grow paler, Jin Chen hurriedly set down his bowl, held him close and coaxed, "The piano is yours, don't worry."

Xi Er remained upset, yet didn't want Jin Chen to think he was being too bothersome, softly sobbing as he leaned against his neck to wipe away tears.

Jin Chen looked angrily at Shen Liuqing across from him, tone icy, "That piano has nothing to do with you."

Shen Liuqing lowered his eyes sadly, "After all, it was a gift meant for me; now you've given it to a new lover, A-Chen… this isn't very fair to me."

It would have been better left unsaid; saying it out just makes it especially grating.

"I… I don't want it." Xi Er sobbed, shoulders trembling as tears fell, "The piano, I don't want it anymore."

Jin Chen lightly patted his back, his tone light and airy.

"Then throw it away."

Shen Liuqing's face slightly changed, he gripped his chopsticks tightly.

Jin Chen summoned the butler, ordering him to destroy that piano in the music room and then buy a new one.

"Very well, sir."

The butler bowed, shook out his collar and left the dining room, also now understanding which side the master would favor more.

Only then did Xi Er gradually stop crying, not eating either, slumped on Jin Chen's shoulder in a daze, as if pondering something.

Shen Liuqing still couldn't hold back, angrily setting down his chopsticks, drawing the gaze of several people at the table.

"A-Chen, you weren't like this before."

Shen Liuqing was very disappointed, his tone even carrying a hint of blame.

"You said that even if your emotions became extremely agitated, you wouldn't make me angry; now how have you become like this……"

His eyes reddened, he stared at Jin Chen's slightly doubtful brows, voice choking, "Are you still just being sulky with me?"

Jin Chen: "……"

"You're sick."

"What does the previous owner's promise have to do with me?"

"It's also like seeing a ghost—this constitution that easily gets angry at anyone, yet with this person I can't get angry at all."

This doesn't stop Jin Chen from getting angry.

He glanced at the table, one arm around Xi Er, grabbed a plate and hurled it at Shen Liuqing, extremely furious.

"Get out……" "Jin Chen! Brother!"

Before it could be thrown, Laolunsi stepped in again, grabbing Jin Chen's raised arm with both hands, "Show mercy!"

Jin Chen eyed him suspiciously, then after a few seconds realized, "Do you like him?"

"Oh come on! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Laolunsi blinked wildly, "You're still counting on Shen Liuqing for your illness!"

Shen Liuqing forced a smile, really not wanting to see Jin Chen and Xi Er hugging, and whispered pleadingly.

"A Chen, I want to talk to you alone."

Xi Er immediately clung to Jin Chen, not letting him go, "No."

Shen Liuqing: "Regarding A Chen's condition, how can you not consider him?"

Laolunsi again tried to persuade, as if Jin Chen wouldn't live to see tomorrow.

Xi Er endured the piercing pain, forced a smile, and got down from Jin Chen's arms.

"Go."

Jin Chen frowned, his sinister eyes gradually sinking, he turned the wheelchair and left the dining hall.

Before leaving, Shen Liuqing gave Xi Er a meaningful smile.

Laolunsi still wanted to comfort Xi Er, but saw him sitting there for a moment, then immediately got up and left.

"Hey, where are you going……"

"Don't follow."

Xi Er looked back at him, eyes icy.

Laolunsi started, thinking his eyes were playing tricks; when he looked again, all he could see was Xi Er's back.

"Oh my god…… This person isn't simple either."

Fourth-floor open-air balcony.

Finally having a chance to be alone, Shen Liuqing's earlier anger in the restaurant faded; Wen Er sat in the rocking chair opposite Jin Chen, his expression sincere.

"A Chen, whether you believe it or not, I've really missed you these past few years."

Jin Chen: "Don't believe it."

He glanced askance at Shen Liuqing, with a calm, malicious air.

When recalling this person's existence, Jin Chen also recalled the original self's tiny obsession that persisted until death.

Thus he asked, "Back when you went abroad, was that advance message you sent a false report of the time?"

"Or perhaps when you sent the message, you never even thought of seeing me."

It was precisely because Shen Liuqing sent that message the night before his departure that the emotionally unstable original self could wait at the airport for five full hours.

: As long as I can see you at the airport tomorrow, I won't leave.

No matter what the original self originally thought, Jin Chen feels this line is utterly ridiculous; if he didn't see the person, the one going to the appointment would think Shen Liuqing's departure was because he failed to make it in time.

In fact, the original self really did think that.

Shen Liuqing remained silent; after a long while, he answered somewhat guiltily, "It's because the flight wasn't on time."

"You know, I care a lot about my future."

Jin Chen understood, then gave a cold sneer.

After all, at that time the original self had just been in a car accident and could only pretend to have legs for temporary self-preservation.

And in Shen Liuqing's eyes, he was merely someone who couldn't even preserve his inheritance and was disabled.

Jin Chen's ridicule now is a mockery on behalf of the original self.

【Host! You don't need to worry; I'm going to the bureau to see if there's any medicine to heal the body, so I won't rely on this big bad guy!】

0731 immediately took action.
