My CEO, Turn the Lights Off - C44

Chapter 44 – You Like Ji Nansheng

The quiet study room was freezing cold.

The video on the screen continued, but Zhang Shiyan suddenly did not want to continue watching.

The scene in the video was so beautiful, so blissful. However, there was no trace of him. He was just sitting in the shadows, an outsider who had been excluded.

Zhang Shiyan suddenly switched off the video using the remote control.

He let himself lie back expressionlessly, looking at the ceiling, alone on the cold wooden floor.

The scene of when he saw the blissful memories of Ji Nansheng and her appear before his eyes. He rubbed his forehead that was faintly aching, and closed his eyes.

He vaguely remembered.

This was Qin Jingyuan’s twenty-sixth birthday seven years ago, and he was holding a birthday party at the Golden Court Nightclub.

That year, Ji Nansheng was twenty-one years old and was still a third year student, but he … Twenty.

Yes, he was a year younger than Ji Nansheng.

He had always been calling Ji Nansheng “Ah Sheng”, but actually, he should have been calling Ji Nansheng “Big Sister”.

The video just now only captured the scene in the private box. Actually, outside of the private room that day, another small episode had occurred, but that small episode, other than him and Qin Jingyuan, was not known to a third person.

In the corridor of the second floor of the nightclub.

Standing here, one could look down and see the men and women dancing crazily to the music in the bar on the first floor.

Seeing Qin Jingyuan and Ji Nansheng embracing and kissing in the private room, Zhang Shiyan’s heart felt as if it was sliced open by a knife. He could not continue looking, so he silently left the private room.

He had nowhere else to go, so he stood alone in the corridor, watching the people below dance and revel.

Not long after, a handsome, upright figure appeared beside him.

He glanced sideways and saw that it was Qin Jingyuan.

“Why are you here alone? Your sister is very worried about you. ”

Qin Jingyuan spoke to Zhang Shiyan like a child.

It was also true that Qin Jingyuan was already twenty-six years old and had graduated and worked for a few years., on the other hand, was only twenty years old and was a immature university student.

Zhang Shiyan pursed his lips in ridicule, and did not respond to Qin Jingyuan.

He was treated as an ignorant child, yet, he could hug Ji Nansheng, who was only one year older than him, and kiss him passionately in public.

He was a child, so was Ji Nansheng not a child?

Qin Jingyuan took out a lighter from his pants pocket and also took out a box of cigarettes. Just as he was about to light it up, he saw Zhang Shiyan staring at him indifferently, “Ah Sheng has respiratory problems.

After pausing for a moment, Zhang Shiyan looked Qin Jingyuan in the eyes and said slowly: “At home, I won’t even let Ah Sheng go to the kitchen.”

Qin Jingyuan paused for a moment as he held the cigarette.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Shiyan.

Their gazes met, and there seemed to be a formless conflict in the two men’s eyes.

Qin Jingyuan put away the case, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Shiyan for a few minutes before slowly opening his mouth with a smile: “Zhang Shiyan, actually, I came to find you today because I have something to discuss with you.”

Zhang Shiyan retracted his gaze and did not look at him anymore, his hand holding onto the fence lightly, he looked at the lively crowd below.

Qin Jingyuan slowly said: “Perhaps my words are inappropriate, but Zhang Shiyan, I really hope that you can stay away from Ji Nansheng.”

After pausing for a moment, Qin Jingyuan thought about the use of words, and said tactfully: “I am a man, I do not wish for my woman to always set her gaze on other people, but every time I have a good chat with her, you will always stir up some trouble, and she will treat you like her own brother. No matter what situation you are in, she will not be able to stop her gaze from following you.”

Qin Jingyuan sighed, “Zhang Shiyan, don’t you think… You’re pestering Ji Nansheng a little too tightly? ”

Zhang Shiyan, who had been quietly looking down the stairs, suddenly turned to look at Qin Jingyuan with a dark expression.

Qin Jingyuan raised his hand helplessly and said, “I don’t have any other intentions. You and Ji Nansheng are siblings, and I don’t care how you two get along in private, but I hope that you won’t come along with me the next time I date with Nan Sheng.”

Zhang Shiyan stared fixedly at Qin Jingyuan with his sharp eyes, and after a few seconds, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up in ridicule. “You want me to stay away from Ah Sheng? I have lived under the same roof as Ah Sheng for more than two years, and you have only known her for half a year.

Zhang Shiyan gave a cold smile, and asked word by word. “Qin Jingyuan, on what basis are you? “What identity did you use to ask me to stay away from my family?”

Qin Jingyuan laughed helplessly, and said: “It’s possible that my words were wrong, I apologize to you. But in the end, you all … After all, you are not siblings. If you are too close to each other, it will cause others to misunderstand. “At least …”

Qin Jingyuan stared straight at Zhang Shiyan, “At least I misunderstood. I thought that you are not a little brother to Nan Sheng, and your reaction made me feel that you are already beyond the boundaries of what you should be — —”

Zhang Shiyan’s pupils contracted as he avoided Qin Jingyuan’s gaze.

He had long since known that his feelings for Ji Nansheng had exceeded the limits of what was normal, but he had never thought that the first person who Ji Nansheng discovered would be him.

“You’re silently admitting it?”

Qin Jingyuan took a step back, leaned on the railings, and looked at Zhang Shiyan quietly.

Zhang Shiyan pursed his lips, and did not say a word.

At that time, he was, after all, just a twenty year old youth without the experience of a few years later. After his secret heart had been exposed, he was still unable to control his emotions in an instant.

Qin Jingyuan waited for a few seconds, but did not receive Zhang Shiyan’s rebuttal. He squinted his eyes, and sighed.

“Zhang Shiyan, I have heard of your experiences.”

“When you were very young, your parents both died and you lived alone in an orphanage. When you were four years old, you were adopted by someone. A few weeks later, your adoptive parents both died in a car accident, so you were sent back to the orphanage.”

“When you were eight years old, you were adopted again, but coincidentally, a month later, there was a fire at your adoptive parents’ house. You escaped this disaster because you were in school, but your adoptive parents died in the fire.

“These two incidents caused some superstitious people to spread rumors that you are the fated star of the calamity, that you are destined to kill all your loved ones.”

“Kids are blind to follow the crowd. When some rumors reached the orphanage, the people around you started to distance themselves from you, cold you, and even start to talk bad about you. During that time, you had a lot of hardships.”
