Ji Mingxuan opened his eyes and looked at him, then asked, “Have you forgotten which company you work for?”

　　Of course Shen Mo knew that the company he worked for was under the name of Ji, but would a small employee report asking for leave to the boss?

　　Ji Mingxuan stretched out his hand and said, “Give me your phone, I’ll call and ask for leave for you.”

　　Shen Mo’s phone was on the coffee table in the living room, and he quickly took it. Ji Mingxuan took it in his hand, looked at it, and said, “It’s turned off.”

　　Shen Mo then remembered that he had forgotten to turn on the phone. He couldn’t say it was because of Zhou Yang, so he could only explain: “Maybe I was too busy these days.”

　　Ji Mingxuan didn’t ask any more questions and turned on the phone.

　　As soon as the phone was turned on, a series of text message alerts sounded.

　　Ji Mingxuan glanced at him with a smile and said, “Someone sent you a bunch of text messages.”

　　Shen Mo knew who sent it, but said, “It should be a harassing text message.”

　　”Would you like to see it?”

　　Shen Mo’s heart skipped a beat, and he heard his own voice saying, “…delete them all.”

　　”Are you sure you want to delete it?”

　　”Um.”

　　Ji Mingxuan smiled with an ambiguous tone and said, “Don’t regret it in the future.”

　　Shen Mo said: “No.”

　　Ji Mingxuan deleted the text message in front of him.

　　Shen Mo sat quietly beside him, as if he saw many memories whizzing past his eyes. Perhaps what he really missed was not Zhou Yang, but those wonderful youthful days.

　　But three years have passed, and everyone should move on.

　　Ji Mingxuan used his cell phone to call Shen Mo’s boss to ask for leave, and then called his assistant to say that he would not go to the company this morning. Then he threw his cell phone away, waved at Shen Mo and said, “Sleep with me for a while.”

　　In such snowy weather, it is really comfortable to stay at home and sleep.

　　Since Mr. Ji had spoken, Shen Mo took a rare break and lay back on the sofa.

　　The heater in the living room was turned on very high. Ji Mingxuan hugged Shen Mo’s waist, put his chin on his shoulder, and fell asleep quickly. Shen Mo must have had a lot on his mind, but for some reason, he fell asleep unconsciously.

　　It was almost noon when I woke up again.

　　Shen Mo got up and tidied up the living room. After putting on his clothes, he looked back and saw Ji Mingxuan was still sleeping soundly.

　　”Mr. Ji, it’s time for lunch.”

　　”Mr. Ji?”

　　Shen Mo called Ji Mingxuan several times but there was no response. He reached out and pushed, but when he touched Ji Mingxuan’s wrist, he felt it was terribly hot.

　　Shen Mo was shocked and quickly touched his forehead again, and sure enough, it was also burning hot.

　　He then realized that Ji Mingxuan was ill, and it was not appropriate for him to continue sleeping on the sofa, so he took some effort to get him into the room. Ji Mingxuan stumbled onto the bed and fell asleep again.

　　Shen Mo was afraid that he would be hungry, so he went to the kitchen and cooked a pot of porridge. After serving it, he went into the room and called Ji Mingxuan to get up and eat.

　　Ji Mingxuan was not in good spirits, but he still ate the porridge.

　　Shen Mo quietly observed his expression and said, “Mr. Ji seems to be ill.”

　　Ji Mingxuan said nonchalantly, “I’m just a little tired.”

　　”I have a fever.” Shen Mo said, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”

　　Ji Mingxuan frowned when he heard the word “hospital” and said without thinking, “No need.”

　　”Then I’ll call a doctor?”

　　”It’s just a minor illness, no need to bother.”

　　”But……”

　　”Don’t make noise.” Ji Mingxuan lay back on the bed and simply pulled up the quilt to cover his face. “I’ll be fine after a good sleep.”

　　Shen Mo was a little amused.

　　He didn’t expect that someone like Mr. Ji would refuse to see a doctor when he was sick.

　　He recalled the love affair of last night and felt somewhat guilty, wondering if Ji Mingxuan was being exploited by him and that was why he got sick. He searched through boxes and cabinets to find the antipyretic medicine and fed it to Ji Mingxuan, and then stayed by the bed to take care of him.

　　Ji Mingxuan had a high fever and was sleeping uneasily. He suddenly called out in his sleep, “Shen Mo.”

　　Shen Mo rushed over and held his hand, saying, “Mr. Ji, I’m here.”

　　Ji Mingxuan didn’t say anything else, but his frown relaxed a little. His palm was also burning, and just when Shen Mo wanted to let go of his hand, he grabbed it with his backhand.

　　Shen Mo struggled twice but failed to break free, so he had to let him hold it.

　　Time flies.

　　It was not until the rosy clouds of light shone in through the window that Shen Mo realized he had been sitting like this for the entire afternoon.

　　Ji Mingxuan’s condition was relatively stable, but the family had run out of medicine. Shen Mo changed his clothes and went out to buy medicine before it got dark. The snow on the road had melted for the most part, but it was still inconvenient to walk. Ji Mingxuan’s driver hadn’t gotten off work yet, so Shen Mo got in the car and went out.

　　On the way, the driver, Lao Zhang, talked to him about Ji Mingxuan getting drunk: “Mr. Ji went to see someone the night before yesterday. He was in a bad mood the whole day yesterday. Later, he got so drunk that he couldn’t even walk steadily.”

　　”Mr. Ji’s shoes are wet. Did he fall?”

　　Old Zhang didn’t dare to say anything bad about Ji Mingxuan, so he laughed and said, “Mr. Ji was going to Jinxiu Villa, but it snowed so heavily last night and Mr. Ji was very drunk. I was afraid something might happen on the way, so I sent him home. Mr. Ji is not angry, right?”

　　When Shen Mo heard the words “Jinxiu Villa”, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

　　Lao Zhang asked again: “Mr. Shen, is Mr. Ji angry?”

　　Shen Mo said “Oh” and said, “No.”

　　He remembered that Ji Mingxuan came back last night and it took him a long time to recognize him.

　　He subconsciously turned the ring on his left hand and thought, so that’s it.
