Ji Nanshu scrubbed the cheek Lin Kai'an had kissed three more times and figured a few things out-
Judging by Lin Kai'an's reaction, the original owner of this body had known how to tell fortunes.
Just as Ji Nanshu had suspected, the original owner's memories were incomplete. But what were those missing memories? Or rather, what did they represent?
He felt that this part of his memory was important, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.
When he returned to Qingyan Garden, Chu Mo wasn't home.
After turning on the lights, Ji Nanshu found a note on the living room table-
"Something came up at the company. I'll be back late after I deal with it. There's dinner in the kitchen. Remember to heat it up before eating."
Ji Nanshu pressed his lips together, then broke into a smile. Forget it. For now, he wouldn't hold what had happened earlier today against him.
Lin Kai'an drove to Lin Kailuo's house at top speed. Once there, he pounded on the door. "Lin Kailuo! Open up! I know you're home! Don't hide in there without making a sound!"
Click-
The door opened.
Lin Kailuo said helplessly, "An'an, don't you have fingerprint access?"
Lin Kai'an planted his hands on his hips. "Never mind that! I'm here to keep an eye on you! You're not allowed to go out tomorrow!"
"An'an, I have important business to take care of."
Lin Kai'an's mouth crumpled, and big tears rolled down his face. "The master told me! If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in bed, listen to him!"
"I don't want anything to happen to you, big brother. If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?! What about Mom and Dad?! What about the company?!"
"I don't care. You have to listen to me this time!"
Lin Kai'an kicked up a fuss, stopping just short of rolling around on the floor.
Lin Kailuo sighed. "All right, I'll listen to you. Stop crying." What he feared most was Lin Kai'an crying. Once he started, there was no end to it.
"Don't lie to me!!!" Lin Kai'an's tears stopped instantly, and he stressed it again.
"When has your big brother ever lied to you?"
"Hmph! Go take a shower first! I have to watch you!"
"Got it... I'll go right now."
"Hurry up!"
Lin Kai'an kept his word. After making sure Lin Kailuo was asleep, he found a rope somewhere and tied his bedroom door shut.
He even tied the front door shut.
Hah, don't even think about sneaking off while I'm asleep!
Not a chance!
Not even through a window!
At five the next morning, Lin Kailuo prepared to sneak out while Lin Kai'an was still unable to get up.
He tried opening the bedroom door-
Great. It wouldn't open.
Was the door broken?
As he puzzled over it, he noticed a note in the crack of the door. It read-
"Lin Kailuo! Don't even think about sneaking off while I'm asleep! I've tied the door shut! Stay put in there!"
Lin Kailuo: "..."
It looked like An'an was dead set on making him wait until the day after tomorrow to go.
Lin Kailuo sighed and had no choice but to call Secretary Yang and tell him to go ahead first. He would go tomorrow instead, and he told him there was no need to cancel today's plane ticket.
Secretary Yang was a little puzzled, but as Lin Kailuo's right-hand man, all he needed to do about such a minor matter was obey. It was the rich man's money anyway, not his.
He felt absolutely no qualms about it.
At ten that morning, Ji Nanshu was sound asleep when Liang You bombarded him with calls.
Liang You was beside herself with excitement on the other end. "Nanshu!! Hurry up and check Weibo!!"
Weibo? What scarf? A scarf around what neck?
Ji Nanshu wasn't fully awake yet, and his words came out slurred. "...What...?"
"I said!!! You're trending again!!! The Spring City police's official account tagged you to thank you for helping catch a criminal!"
Ji Nanshu rolled over in bed and buried his head against Chu Mo's chest, his voice muffled. "Got it..."
Liang You said, "Got what?! Get on there and respond right now!!"
This kid! He really made her worry herself sick!! The boss and his wife had both said not to fuss over him too much. Ji Nanshu could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't break the law or commit crimes. But she genuinely believed this kid had potential. With such a breathtaking face, how could he not go into showbiz!!
That face, that figure!! Wouldn't that be doing the public a favor!
"Got it!" Then he hung up with a tap and burrowed straight back under the covers.
Chu Mo dug him out of the bedding. "You might as well get up and have breakfast."
Ji Nanshu wrapped both arms around Chu Mo's neck, pulled down hard, and rolled over, pinning him beneath him.
He reached out to stroke Chu Mo's face, then his neck, before finally stopping at his chest.
Pop-
He flicked open two buttons on Chu Mo's chest, exposing the firm muscles beneath.
"My dear sugar daddy~ What's on the menu today?" Ji Nanshu slowly traced circles on Chu Mo's chest, his nails lightly grazing his skin and sending tingles through him.
Chu Mo's eyes darkened. He caught Ji Nanshu's hand, pressed a gentle kiss to his palm, then held it against his own face, his voice strained with restraint. "What would you like... to eat?"
Ji Nanshu tilted his head and slowly leaned down to Chu Mo's ear. "I'd like... steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast young chicken, roast gosling, braised salted duck, soy-sauce chicken..."
That string of dish names shattered every trace of the intimate atmosphere.
The corners of Chu Mo's mouth visibly twitched.
He really was... far too mischievous!!
Chu Mo slapped Ji Nanshu on the backside and said through gritted teeth, "You little brat!"
"Hahahahahaha-"
Ji Nanshu was delighted. He even wanted to put his hands on his hips.
"Come out and eat! I had soup dumplings delivered!"
"Coming, coming-"
Only over breakfast did Ji Nanshu open Weibo and read the Spring City police's notice-
[Spring City Police Affairs V: At 2:13 p.m. on April 25, 20XX, Wuzhen police received a report alleging the presence of a murderer. Wuzhen officers promptly responded and brought in the suspect, Liu (male, 24, a Wuzhen native), along with several witnesses. It has been confirmed that the man is suspected of raping and murdering a twelve-year-old child, with conclusive evidence. He is currently in criminal detention under the Spring City police. Further investigation is ongoing. Special thanks to @Ji Nanshu for assisting in the man's arrest!]
Ji Nanshu rapidly tapped out a few words-
[Ji Nanshu: You're welcome~! It's every citizen's duty! (*^▽^*) @Spring City Police Affairs V]
Then he started wolfing down his food.
Chu Mo placed another soup dumpling in Ji Nanshu's bowl. "Slow down."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm!!!" Ji Nanshu nodded perfunctorily. He might have been eating a little fast, but he was still very elegant!
Hehehe, hello, my lovely readers!!! ✧ෆ◞◟˃̶̤⌄˂̶̤⋆biubiu
