Chapter 50 - Get Up. I’ll Hug You

Ji Naitang actually didn’t have any hope when he asked. But he didn’t expect that after Cen Muqi asked where he was, he actually braved the heavy rain and rushed over without a word.

It took nearly an hour to drive from the city to here. Ji Naitang thought that in his whole life, he would never forget the feelings he had when he looked up and saw Cen Muqi.

Cen Muqi held a large, black umbrella, but his dress pants were still wet. One reason was because of the rain and the other was because he was in a rush.

“You’ve been soaking in the rain here?” Cen Muqi’s voice sounded unpleasant and little angry.

Ji Naitang sat on the ground and looked up at him. He had cried for too long earlier, so his eyes were red and swollen now. He couldn’t tell what was tears and what was rain on his face.

“Get up!” Cen Muqi said with a black face. Ji Naitang looked puzzled. Cen Muqi said in a deep voice, “Get up and I’ll hug you.”

Ji Naitang shook. He slowly buried his face in his arms. The tears that finally stopped instantly flowed again. Then he noticed Cen Muqi crouching down. One hand held the umbrella. His other hand gently wrapped around his shoulders and hugged him.

Ji Naitang finally couldn’t help it anymore and reached his arms out to hug him. Cen Muqi didn’t tell him not to cry as his hand gently patted his back.

When Ji Naitang stopped crying, the rain had lessened, but the sky was darker. Cen Muqi saw that his mood was more stable and said, “I called Chen Yan before I came here. He said that your stomach problem isn’t serious.”

Ji Naitang froze for a while before he realized that Cen Muqi thought that he was sad over the test results. “I’m not worried about the test results.”

“Then what is going on?”

“I miss my brother.” Ji Naitang couldn’t tell Cen Muqi what had happened before, so he could only use this excuse. But he wasn’t lying. He did indeed miss his brother.

“Teacher Ji, can make a deal? Can you choose better weather when you come see your brother?”

“CEO Cen, why are you so nice to me?”

“Am I nice to you?”

Ji Naitang nodded decisively. He originally wanted to be by Cen Muqi’s side just to get closer to him. He had never expected that he would care about him so much. So, their interaction right now made him very uneasy. He was uneasy because Cen Muqi treated him so nicely. It made him wonder if this was all his imagination or maybe it was his dream from start to finish.

Cen Muqi didn’t answer his question and pulled Ji Naitang up. “If you think I’m nice to you, then don’t torment me. Let’s go”

“But if you’re too nice to me, I will be reluctant to leave you.”

Cen Muqi smiled. “How can I be treating you nicely if you’re thinking of leaving? Teacher Ji, are you being sarcastic?!”

Ji Naitang shook his head. Cen Muqi didn’t give him the opportunity to ask any more questions. He took his hand and said goodbye to Ji Moyu before they left the cemetery.

After they got into the car, Cen Muqi handed his suit jacket in the car to Ji Naitang. “Take off your wet clothes and wear the jacket.”

“But CEO Cen, your clothes……”

Cen Muqi loosened his tie a bit and said that it was fine. Then he slowly drove the car. After more than half an hour, they were almost home, but it was raining harder and harder. He couldn’t see the road anymore, so he had to park the car by the road.

Ji Naitang took off his coat and draped the suit jacket over him. He didn’t wear it, so his shoulders could be seen with any little movement. Cen Muqi looked at the scar on Ji Naitang’s shoulder.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t noticed that there were a lot of scars on Ji Naitang’s body. But most of them were relatively shallow, so they weren’t visible if he didn’t look carefully.

Ji Naitang noticed his line of sight. He turned to look over. Their eyes met. The atmosphere in the car changed.

After looking at each other for a while, Ji Naitang took out a plastic bag from his own coat. He pulled out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Cen Muqi. Cen Muqi looked puzzled. He looked down and discovered that it was a medical examination report.

“CEO Cen, I went for a physical exam at the hospital a few days ago. This is the medical report.”

Cen Muqi recalled that he wanted Ji Naitang to exchange a gastroscopic report for Cen Muqi’s WeChat nickname for Ji Naitang. He smiled and asked, “Oh? Then what do you want to exchange for this report?”

Ji Naitang looked straight at Cen Muqi and enunciated, “The report proves that I am very healthy. I have no infectious diseases. So, when we do it, can you not wear a c*ndom?”

Cen Muqi was startled and he looked surprised at Ji Naitang. Then his surprised gaze slowly heated up.
