Morbid Addiction

       Ning Junyan brought the bank card that Shu Rong did not accept, but Ning Junyan did not take it away when he left. He left the card on the coffee table, and he believed that Shu Rong would eventually accept it.

       Before he left, he said to Shu Rong, “Actually, I have something to tell you.”

       “What else do you want to say?” Shu Rong calmed down at this moment.

       Ning Junyan said, “I think we need not be like this, many things are impossible to change. Why can’t everyone live a happier life?”

       Shu Rong looked at him and said nothing.

       Ning Junyan continued, “If anger doesn’t solve anything, I think we can try to accept it and at least make ourselves feel better inside.” After he said this, he didn’t stay at home any longer and said goodbye to his parents and left.

       He drove back to his and Chen Yuncheng’s rented house, and when Ning Junyan entered the house, he saw that there were no lights on in the living room, so he dropped his car keys on top of the shoe cabinet and walked towards the lighted bedroom.

       Chen Yuncheng was standing in front of the wardrobe, opened the door of the wardrobe, and used a screwdriver to unscrew the door. When he heard Ning Junyan’s footsteps, he looked back and said, “One of the screws on the closet door fell off. I found one to put back on today.”

       When Chen Yuncheng opened the door, he noticed that the wardrobe door was a bit loose, and after looking at it carefully in the morning, he found that one of the screws on the wardrobe door had fallen out, and he didn’t know where it had gone, so he had to take another one and go out to find another one of the same sizes. Anyway, Chen Yuncheng brought back all the tools, so Chen Yuncheng simply tightened all the screws on the wardrobe door at night, and now there were only the last two left.

       The decoration of this house looks good, but when you moved in, you would find many small problems with the details. Chen Yuncheng himself didn’t mind, but he just couldn’t bear to put Ning Junyan through the wringer.

       Ning Junyan walked behind him and stopped. He stood by without speaking.

       Chen Yuncheng only tilted his head, and asked him, “What’s the matter? I’ll be over soon, you go take a bath first.”

       Ning Junyan did not leave, the tall figure almost covered all the light in front of him and the screwdriver in Chen Yuncheng’s hand slipped away. The light was blocked and he couldn’t see clearly, so he could only reach out and feel for it, as he did so, he asked, “Did you have a fight with your parents?” He knew that Ning Junyan had gone back tonight, but he didn’t know the result of his conversation with his parents.

       Ning Junyan answered him, “No.” Then he reached out and hugged Chen Yuncheng’s waist from behind, leaning his face on the top of his head.

       Chen Yuncheng felt strange, “Drinking?” He turned his head to smell Ning Junyan’s breath, “Not drunk.”

       Ning Junyan’s voice was dull as he said, “No, I haven’t been drinking.”

       There was one last screw left on the closet door, under the door, Chen Yuncheng had to bend down, but Ning Junyan was holding behind him, and when he bent down, Ning Junyan’s whole body was pressed against his back, Chen Yuncheng said, “Let go of me, I can’t do anything like this!”

       Ning Junyan was not willing to let him go at all. Instead, he put his whole body weight on Chen Yuncheng’s back, dragging his waist down. Chen Yuncheng grabbed the wardrobe door with one hand but was dragged to the ground by Ning Junyan alone. He helplessly said, “You made me unscrew the last screw!” He felt uncomfortable if he didn’t tighten it.

       Delicate and soft kisses fell on Chen Yuncheng’s side face and ears continuously. Ning Junyan sat behind Chen Yuncheng with two long legs apart, with one arm around his waist, and the other turned his face towards him while kissing. He said at the same time, “Screw it.”

       Screw my ass! Chen Yuncheng was still holding a screwdriver in his hand, but he couldn’t reach the screws on the wardrobe door at all.

       Ning Junyan loosened his waist, groped for his hand, took the screwdriver from his hand and threw it aside, then interlocked his fingers.

       Chen Yuncheng’s cheeks and ears turned red from the kiss, and he quickly lost his temper. He raised his eyes and looked at the closed wardrobe door, thinking that he should continue to tighten that screw tomorrow morning.

       At this time, Ning Junyan took his hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.

       Chen Yuncheng wore the engagement ring that Ning Junyan put on for him on his ring finger, and said embarrassedly, “Don’t kiss it, I haven’t washed my hands yet.”

       Ning Junyan asked him, “Have you taken a shower?”

       Chen Yuncheng was repairing the closet as soon as he came back, and he didn’t have time to take a shower. When he heard Ning Junyan’s question, he shook his head, “Not yet.”

       Ning Junyan said, “I’ll carry you to shower.”

       Although the more intimate things have been done, Chen Yuncheng still felt ashamed of the request to be taken to shower, and he quickly refused, “No, I’ll go by myself.”

       Ning Junyan didn’t seem to hear it, and directly picked up Chen Yuncheng from the ground, and walked towards the bathroom, “Let’s go and take a shower.”

       Chen Yuncheng couldn’t help laughing, “Ning Junyan, what’s wrong with you today?”

       There might be something wrong with Ning Junyan today, he was very clingy to Chen Yuncheng and insisted on taking a shower with him in the narrow shower room.

       After they showered and returned to the bed, Ning Junyan hugged Chen Yuncheng face to face and kept kissing him over and over again.

       Chen Yuncheng stroked his hair, feeling that he didn’t look unhappy, and asked softly, “Can you tell me what you’re thinking about?”

       Ning Junyan looked at him intently and said, “You can’t leave me.”

       Chen Yuncheng laughed when he heard the words, “I didn’t say I would leave you.” After he said that, he thought for a while and added, “Do you want me to make a vow?”

       Ning Junyan said calmly, “No, I want my wife to kiss me.”

       Chen Yuncheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry for a moment and replied, “Okay.” Then he added a sentence embarrassingly, “Let’s kiss.”

       About a week later, one afternoon, Chen Yuncheng drove out and made an appointment with a small agent to discuss business in a teahouse.

       The two drank tea and chatted, and left the teahouse around four o’clock in the afternoon. Chen Yuncheng went to the parking lot in front of the teahouse to pick up his car. Just as he got in the car, he saw Guan Anlin coming out from the gate of another teahouse next door.

       Chen Yuncheng frowned and started the car to drive directly to Guan Anlin’s side, but then he saw Yu Jie also come out of the teahouse, walked behind Guan Anlin and tapped him on the shoulder.

       Guan Anlin turned around and said something to Yu Jie.

       Yu Jie smiled and patted him on the shoulder again, turned and left.

       Chen Yuncheng sat in the car and watched them, saw Yu Jie walking to the parking lot to drive, and waited until Yu Jie’s car left the parking lot. He took a deep breath, drove the car in front of Guan Anlin, pressed down the window, and said to Guan Anlin, “Get in.”

       Guan Anlin lowered his head and was fiddling with his mobile phone, maybe he was about to take a taxi when he suddenly heard Chen Yuncheng’s voice. He raised his head with a surprised expression, glanced at Chen Yuncheng, then looked nervously in the direction Yu Jie left, and then went around to the passenger side and pulled the door open to get in.

       “Why are you here?” Before he got into the car, Guan Anlin threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.

       As Chen Yuncheng drove towards the exit of the parking lot, he said, “Shouldn’t I ask you this, why are you here?”

       Guan Anlin pushed down the window a little, and suddenly realized that the air conditioner was on in the car, closed the window again, and said, “Did you see Yu Jie?”

       “Last time it was old fvcking dog, now it’s Yu Jie?”

       Guan Anlin quickly said, “It’s still old fvcking dog even now.”

       Chen Yuncheng was a little angry, “Are you out of your mind? Why do you still want to hang out with him?”

       Guan Anlin said, “Don’t worry, I know Yu Jie is not a good guy, and he has no good intentions. I’m not stupid, okay?”

       Chen Yuncheng glared at him.

       Guan Anlin patted his arm reassuringly, “Just focus on driving, and I’ll tell you later.”

       After he met Yu Jie in the hospital last time, Guan Anlin met Yu Jie by chance. At that time, Yu Jie took the initiative to apologize to Guan Anlin, insisting that what happened back then was a misunderstanding and he did not intend to harm Guan Anlin, but when the police came to his door, he didn’t dare to come forward, thus causing Guan Anlin to spend two years in jail.

       “I haven’t read much, but I’m not stupid. Who the fvck would fall on the same person twice?” Guan Anlin and Chen Yuncheng stayed in the small room inside the store, closed the door and talked in a low voice.

       Chen Yuncheng sat by the bed with a rare calm expression.

       Guan Anlin said, “I thought he must have some kind of purpose to get close to me. I’ve done him a favour by not seeking revenge for what happened in the first place, and he still came to me on his own initiative. What do you think he’s after?” He also sat on the edge of the bed and lifted an arm to rest on Chen Yuncheng’s shoulder.

       Chen Yuncheng glanced at him.

       Guan Anlin then continued, “I then thought that he wanted to take revenge on you for stirring up his business with that evil mother-in-law of yours.”

       “How will he get revenge?”

       “He told me that he started a company and was working on an investment project. He introduced a lot of project content to me and said he would take me on the on-spot-investigation, but he needed me to attract investment.”

       Chen Yuncheng sighed, “Does he think you are stupid?”

       Guan Anlin’s expression became a little fierce, “Didn’t he think I was stupid? He probably thinks I’m no different from back then.”

       Chen Yuncheng asked him, “Then what happened?”

       Guan Anlin said, “Then I simply gave information to that policeman you are familiar with, the one with a face younger than a woman. A call to the police.”

       “Long Zhanyu?”

       Guan Anlin snapped his fingers, “It’s him.”

       Chen Yuncheng said, “You shouldn’t say that about him to his face.”

       Guan Anlin snorted.

       Chen Yuncheng asked, “What did he say?”

       Guan Anlin said, “He told me to continue to contact Yu Jie to see if this project of Yu Jie’s was real or fake; if anyone had invested in it, and if I could find a list of investors.”

       Chen Yuncheng was suddenly very disturbed, “He asked you to be his informant?”

       Guan Anlin nodded.

       Chen Yuncheng stood up from the bed and took two steps back and forth, “I’ll call Long Zhanyu later.”
