As soon as the phone was connected, He Zhuo heard the person on the other side call: "Sir, I, I heard that you borrowed my stone to give to the young master. I can prepare other gifts for him. Can you return the stone to me?" ?"

His clumsy and flattering tone made He Zhuo feel like a stick in his throat, and he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

After struggling for a long time, he still said frankly: "Xiao Ji, I'm sorry, the stone was washed away by the sea, may I buy some more beautiful ones for you?"

There was no sound on the other side.

He Zhuo thought he was angry and ignored him.

But Ji Tingyu confessed like a heinous criminal: "Is it because I have to go out today..."

"I'm sorry sir, I won't go out again in the future, I will accept the treatment obediently, and won't cause you any trouble, can you please...give them back to me..."

His voice trembled so badly that He Zhuo could even imagine him trembling on the other side of the phone, so he could only explain in vain: "I didn't know it was yours, and it was placed in the guest—"

"I didn't mean it!" Ji Tingyu was so excited that he interrupted him.

"I didn't want to put the bottle in the living room to occupy the place at home, because it's snowing today, and it hasn't snowed in Newell for a long, long time. I want to take the stone to see the snow together, but I'm scared when you come back, just Forget them."

"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong...I won't do it again, please give them back to me, please, don't do this..."

He didn't know where he was wrong, but he kept apologizing as if he had been trained.

He Zhuo didn't know what to do. I'm sorry it seemed meaningless at this moment, so I could only tell him seriously: the stones can't be found, they were washed away by the water far away.

Ji Tingyu opened his empty eyes, and strings of drops of water rolled down from the eye sockets like blood, even the grievances seemed so humble.

"But you... why did you give away my things..."

"I have nothing..."

"I don't even have the last evidence... No one will remember me..."

-

Since then, Ji Tingyu has never stepped out of the attic again.

His weight was dropping rapidly, and he was so thin that he was only a thin piece, like the corpse of a withered plant, decaying from the root system.

He Zhuo knew something was wrong with Ji Tingyu, but he was afraid of this kind of "knowing".

He didn't want to think about it, let alone believe it. How could an adult collapse because a child took away a few stones?

In the final analysis, it was actually his cowardice that was causing the trouble - he didn't dare to bear the fact that he "broke" his lover.

So he put down his work, spent a lot of time with Ji Tingyu, moved him out of the attic where he had to live, and bought him a lot of stones for him to choose at will.

Ji Tingyu ignored him, so he replaced it with gems, pearls, and rough emeralds, but Ji Tingyu was still indifferent.

He Zhuo also lost his temper, clutching his shoulder and throwing a tantrum.

"I sent your stone without authorization, and I apologize to you, but I chased and found it for you. The stone was washed away long ago, and I even asked someone to fish it in the sea! It took half a month to find a piece of it. If you can't find it, it's okay! Enough is enough! How about a few broken stones!"
