The next morning, the two families took a boat trip to the lake and fish.

The natural scenery of Qiandao Lake is beautiful and magnificent, but lishuo is not in the mood to enjoy it. His eyes are staring at the fish.

It's been several days since the incident happened. There's no real progress from the lawyer. He's really afraid of being trapped here, and he's not willing to ask his father for help.

A hand on his shoulder, he was scared, looked up, it was his father: "Dad, did you catch any fish?"

"I just caught a big fish with a weight of 4 jin, and you can't come here. What do you want?"

Lishuo smiled: "waiting for my big fish."

Mr. Li sat on the stool beside him: "Xiao Shuo, you are not in the right state these days. You are always in a state of mind. You are holding a phone all day long. Is there any problem with the office?"

"Oh, there's something wrong with one case. It's nothing serious. I'll call them to handle it."

"I don't think it's a little bit of a situation, is it? You don't have a nervous personality. Your mother has long found out that you are not right. She wants to take you out to have fun and relax. As a result, you are still not good. Let me talk to you. " Mr. Li said helplessly, "in fact, I didn't want to come. You are so similar to me that you never want to bring any troubles back to your family. I also believe in my son's ability, but I can't beat your mother."

Li Shuo feels warm in his heart. He feels that he is the luckiest person in the world. With such a perfect family, his parents have a good personality, respect and love each other. This is the marriage he yearns for. Even as a homosexual, he feels that he should find a gentle, kind and uncontested person like his mother, such as Li Chengxiu.

He looked at his father with a smile: "Dad, thank you. You can rest assured that I can solve this problem. Isn't that the work? It's really no big deal if there is a problem and it's solved."

"That's good." Mr. Li patted his son's back. "In fact, I really don't worry about you. Even if you fall down somewhere, you must be able to get up. If you can't get up, what will happen? What our family left for you is not enough for your decent life?"

Li Shuo said with a smile, "Dad, if you had told me that when you were a child, I would have grown into a playboy."

"You won't." Mr. Li said proudly, "the best thing in my life is not to start from scratch, but to marry a good wife and have a good son."

"Dad, thank you." Li Shuo sighs silently in his heart. He did not want his parents to worry about him, whether for filial piety or self-respect.

I remember that when he graduated from college, he gave up his master's degree in LSE and went to Africa to help teach for a year. His parents were very opposed, mainly worried about his safety. He has always been a high spirited kid. He was too idealistic when he was young. As a standard son of a rich family, he was very contradictory because of the deep love of licking the calf in the eastern family culture and the self-reliance of the western family culture. He could not bear to disobey his parents' excessive protection, and felt that his parents' shade made him feel helpless in his peers. He wanted to do something "really meaningful". So he thought A charity that doesn't need to spend parents' money.

He persuaded his parents to follow the volunteer team to Ethiopia.

He regretted the first day he got there. In his life, he has never experienced such a bad and poor environment or such a desperate backwardness, especially the suffering of local children, which makes his heart extremely depressed. He had a fever for three days after the first meal. He felt like an idiot, giving up his good life and top schools to come to this ghost place, which was the result of not listening to his parents.

But every time he talked to his parents on the phone, he didn't dare to say a word of bitterness. At first he felt ashamed, but later he couldn't bear to let his parents worry.

He ended up in that place for 15 months. From the initial regret and negativity, to the recognition and adaptation, to what he tried his best to do for the local children, these psychological changes accompanied his rapid growth, much more than he had learned and understood in the past two decades. Thanks for the experience of those 15 months, which cured all his hypocrisy and treason, made him understand a lot of truth thoroughly, and also made him become extremely tough and brave.

So he never asked his parents for help, never let them worry, not only because of filial piety, self-esteem, but also because he felt that all the things he experienced were meaningful.

Mr. Li chatted with him for a while, and then went fishing for his own fish. Li Shuo looked at the calm lake, and thought a lot. If he really can't go back to China, he would try to get Li Chengxiu to his side, and he didn't believe Shaoqun could keep him trapped all his life.

As soon as Mr. Li left, Zhao Jinxin came up and whispered, "honey, what big fish are you waiting for?"

Li Shuo chuckled: "it's not waiting for you anyway."

"There's no interest in it." Zhao Jinxin pouted and lowered his voice. Mysteriously, he said, "I have a friend who specializes in the development of love interest products. He invented a mermaid suit. Do you want to see me wear it?"

Li Shuo gave him a sidelong look: "what can you get from language tease?"Zhao Jinxin said with a smile: "get the tune - play your fast - feeling."

Li Shuo shook his head helplessly: "don't talk, it will scare my fish."

"Come on, your mind is not on the fish at all. Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you let me help you? Why don't you let your father help you? It's not a matter of dignity. It's stupid. "

"I'm 34 years old, a man who has been on his feet for a long time. It's not just stupid that he has to go to his father who has heart problems when he's in trouble," said Li Shuo calmly

"What about me? Is it so hard to accept my help? "

Li Shuo looked at the lake in silence. As he said, he didn't want to owe Zhao Jinxin. Now Zhao Jinxin is pestering him in all kinds of ways. It's not more difficult for him to refuse to accept the help.

Zhao Jinxin sighed with disappointment, looked at the lake for a while, suddenly held half of his cheek in his hand, looked at lishuo and said: "but Uncle Li is so handsome, I like you better."

Li Shuo can't laugh or cry.

"Let's go to a bar tonight." Zhao Jinxin said expectantly.

"There's no time tonight. When my lawyer wakes up, we have a long meeting to hold."

"And tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow."

"Your answer is too perfunctory. We'll stay here for four or five days. You promised me that you'd say what you say?"

Li Shuo couldn't help it. "Tomorrow night."

Zhao Jinxin smiled with satisfaction.

They cooked the fish on the boat, except for salt. Grilled fish, fish soup and sashimi were tender no matter how they ate them. They had the purest delicacy.

Both of them had a good time, talking and laughing.

In the afternoon, when they returned to the shore, they were tired and went to rest.

Li Shuo plunges into his room and calls home to find a relationship. In recent days, he has almost looked for all the friends he can find and preliminarily determined Shao Qun's purpose. Shao Qun mostly doesn't intend to get him in, which will cost a lot. Shao Qun wants to achieve the effect that he can't go back to China. This purpose is temporarily realized, but he doesn't eat it Su, he will make Shao Qun regret.

Before dinner, Zhao Jinxin came to Li Shuo to apply medicine. Li Shuo didn't want to be alone with him, so he moved the medicine box to the living room. He wiped the medicine and hot compress him in front of the elder and the housekeeper. Zhao Jinxin could only be honest, but his eyes were sad that he could not succeed.

Zhao Rongtian looked around for a while, and said with satisfaction, "I think you two have a good chat. When you return to China, do a good job, start the northern trade, and continue the friendship of our generation. As for the Chinese, inheritance is the most important thing."

Li Shuo said with a smile, "you are right. I will help Jin Xin with my heart."

Zhao Jinxin said straightforwardly, "don't worry, Dad, I will do it well with brother."

Zhao Jinxin deliberately emphasized a certain word seriously. Li Shuo was so angry that he wanted to kick him. How could this boy be so cheeky in front of his elders? He was short of drawing.

Zhao Rongtian left with satisfaction. Zhao Jinxin frowns at Li Shuo: "you see, kiss my father, you really know me."

Li Shuo narrowed his eyes and pinched Zhao Jinxin's fingers.

"Ah!" Zhao Jinxin cried out in pain.

"I'm sorry. I'll take it easy." Li Shuo turned his back to his elders and said, "you deserve it.".

"Uncle Li doesn't love me at all," said Zhao in a low voice

Li Shuo gave him a white look.

Zhao Jinxin suddenly showed a bad smile.

Before lishuo could react, his legs were caught by Zhao Jinxin's legs unprepared. He stared at Zhao Jinxin and looked back at the elders chatting on the sofa.

At this time, they are sitting face to face at a log table. The bottom of the table is hollowed out. As long as someone looks here, they can see the "Gouhe" under the table.

Li Shuo wanted to pull back his legs, but he didn't dare to make big moves. Of course, it didn't help. He whispered, "let go!"

Zhao Jinxin said with a smile, "is it fair that you clip my hand, I clip your leg, and the etiquette is fair?"

"Fart." Li Shuo is so anxious that he is quite nervous. How can he explain if he is seen by two parents? He is so grown-up. Where is his face.

Zhao Jinxin said in a low voice, "don't move. Be careful to fall off the chair. Don't move. I have strong legs."

"If I don't let go, I won't go drinking with you," Li Shuo threatened

Zhao Jinxin blinked, obviously he was the first to tease - Sao, but also a pair of bullied wilt like, let go of the leg.

Li Shuo really wants to applaud for his temper and cultivation. In other words, he is being played by a boy who is ten years younger than himself.

One day, Li Shuo was tired of brain and body, and went to bed early.

In the middle of the night, he vaguely heard the sound of Didi, but he slept in a daze. When he was dreaming, he turned over and fell asleep again.The next morning, he got up to wash, took out his cell phone to see if there was any new mail, but found that the cell phone was dead. He charged it and went downstairs to eat.

After dinner, Zhao Jinxin pesters him to walk the dog.

Lishuo has always liked dogs, but he is a person with excessive sense of responsibility. Frequent business trips will make him unable to take good care of his pets. He can't balance.

Ann and bee are very energetic sled dogs. They are very strong. They are dragging a dog in one hand. Most of the time, they are being dragged around the resort. Lishuo feels more tired than running five kilometers.

On the contrary, Zhao Jinxin jumped up and down with the two dogs, but he was not tired. Li Shuo immediately envied his youth.

Zhao Jinxin led ANN to run out for 100 meters, turned to lishuo and waved, "hurry up." It was as if all the vitality of this beautiful morning had come together.

Li Shuo suddenly thought that walking the dog with his favorite person was one of his fantasies about a stable life, and Zhao Jinxin was the first one to embody this fantasy.

He immediately stopped his mind from following up on the fantasy.

Zhao Jinxin is still shouting, "go baby, it's too slow."

At this time, the old housekeeper just came out of the corner on a bicycle. He propped up the ground and looked at Zhao Jinxin and Li Shuo in a daze.

Li Shuo secretly scolds Zhao Jinxin for saying nothing.

Zhao Jinxin smiled: "my name is bee."

The housekeeper responded, "I'm going to the supermarket to buy something." Then I went on my little bike.

As soon as he left, Zhao Jinxin laughed.

Lishuo ran over: "what are you shouting at?"

"I said my name was bee." Zhao Jinxin blinked. "You think I call you, shame or not."

Li Shuo stooped to pick up the bear like bee and threw it on Zhao Jinxin: "bite him!"

Zhao Jinxin subconsciously catches bee.

Ann thinks that they are playing games, and they are jumping on Zhao Jinxin. If they can't jump on Zhao Jinxin, they will grab Zhao Jinxin. They want to compete for favor. They almost drag his sports pants off.

Li Shuo laughed heartily.

Zhao Jinxin also smiled. He put bee on the ground, reached out and pinched Li Shuo's face: "I haven't seen you smile like this for several days."

Li Shuo was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

Since the accident, he never really laughed, but just at that moment, he really forgot to worry about his troubles these days, and smiled happily.

For him now, it's like a little sweet in bitterness. It has no taste.

Li Shuo rubbed his hair. "Hey," he said, "it seems I have to thank you."

Zhao Jinxin's eyes are full of tenderness: "I want to thank you and let me see your smile."

Li Shuo's breathing is sluggish, and his heart seems to be punched. It doesn't hurt. It's crispy and numb, which makes him freeze.

So when Zhao Jinxin's face gets closer and closer, he fails to respond in time. Instead, he is bound by those deep and beautiful eyes.

The soft and warm lips gently cling to lishuo's lips, so a shallow kiss seems to generate a huge current in a moment.

Li Shuo opened his eyes and pushed Zhao Jinxin away.

Zhao Jinxin retreated several steps and almost fell down. He stood still, without anger, disappointment, or habitual cynicism. He just looked at Li Shuo deeply, touched his lips with a little extra warmth, and then put his fingers into his mouth. His eyes were wild and aggressive, but they were also provocative --- to the extreme.

Li Shuo blinked a little, though his heart turned over, but his expression was water tight. He took the rope of bee: "go back."

"Lishuo." "Give up Li Chengxiu," Zhao Jinxin called from behind

Lishuo did not stop, did not turn back, went straight.

Back to the villa, Li Shuo shut himself up in his room and breathed a long sigh.

It's better to regard Zhao Jinxin as a test, and see if he can be the master of emotions in this matter, or slave - Li.

He calmed down for a while and thought of his mobile phone. It was fully charged. He picked it up and looked at it. There was a message from Li Chengxiu. His heart leaped a few times, I don't know if he was afraid to see rejection, or Deficiency of heart.

He opened a text message:
