”Ji, Ming, Xuan.”

　　Shen Mo leaned against the window, looking at the magnificent sea view outside the window, silently reciting the name. He applied the burn ointment on the back of his hand again, and except for a slightly reddish complexion, it was no longer a big deal. He lowered his head and carefully examined his hand, then bent his fingers and slowly clenched his fist.

　　He once held that person’s heart, but eventually let it go.

　　When Shen Mo fell down the stairs, he was sent to the hospital by the building’s security guard. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured. In addition to some external injuries, he only had a slight concussion. He was dizzy for several days and his memory was always confused. Although he remembered that he was kidnapped, he had no impression of what happened in the past six months.

　　And Ji Mingxuan…also became a real stranger.

　　It was the rainy season, and it rained almost every day. Shen Mo lay on the windowsill and watched the cars coming and going, and found that a black car often stopped downstairs of his house. Sometimes the car only stopped for a while and then drove away, and sometimes it came at night and left the next morning.

　　No one got off the car.

　　Once, Shen Mo went downstairs to take out the trash, and saw from a distance that the door of the car opened, and a man in a suit walked out of the driver’s seat. It was raining a little that day, and he didn’t hold an umbrella, just looking at Shen Mo through the rain.

　　Shen Mo paused, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar, but the rain was getting heavier, so he did not take a step after all and turned to go upstairs.

　　It rained heavily that night. When Shen Mo woke up the next day, he found that the car had left.

　　He never saw the car again.

　　Not long after, Shen Mo’s lease expired, and he was evicted because he could not pay the rent, and could only live in a small hotel on the street. His savings were dwindling day by day, he could not hold a pen with his right hand, and could not find a job for a while. When he was about to sleep on the street, Mr. Ji, who had visited him in the hospital, appeared.

　　Ji Mingxuan threw him a contract.

　　Shen Mo was not desperate, but he remembered Mr. Ji’s life-saving grace. All his medical expenses during hospitalization were paid by Mr. Ji, and he could not afford to pay it back. Since Ji Mingxuan wanted to use this method to protect his sister’s love, Shen Mo was of course willing to cooperate.

　　After he signed the contract, he moved into Ji Mingxuan’s villa. When he first went to bed, Shen Mo was too nervous and behaved like a dead fish on the bed. Ji Mingxuan said nothing and left the room after he was done. Shen Mo felt that Mr. Ji, who had experienced many battles, must look down on his poor performance.

　　The next day, Ji Mingxuan asked his secretary to bring a pair of couple rings.

　　Shen Mo was stunned, not knowing whether he should wear it or not. After Ji Mingxuan came back, he put the ring on his ring finger himself and said nonchalantly, “If you want to act, you have to do it completely.”

　　For the next three years, the two of them wore the same ring and never took it off.

　　But it is different now. Shen Mo’s left hand is empty, and Ji Mingxuan… Ji Mingxuan already has a lovely wife and a beloved son.

　　If he had been to Jinxiu Villa and seen the room full of paintings, would everything have been different?

　　Shen Mo let out a long sigh and loosened his clenched fists. Perhaps this was his fate. The time he fell in love with that person was never right.

　　It was late at night, but Island S was still warm and beautiful. Shen Mo had a few days left on his scheduled trip, but he knew that the vacation would end early.

　　Shen Mo got up early the next morning to book a flight back home. While he was checking the flight, someone knocked on the door. He was still in his pajamas, so he quickly changed his clothes and ran to open the door.

　　Ji Mingxuan was standing outside the door.

　　He had dressed up early in the morning, and when he saw Shen Mo, he asked, “Where’s your hand?”

　　Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he had already stretched out his hand.

　　Ji Mingxuan held his hand and looked at it over and over again, making sure that there was only a little redness on the back of his hand before he said with relief: “It’s almost healed. Remember to apply the medicine twice more today.”

　　Shen Mo had no choice but to say yes.

　　Ji Mingxuan asked: “What are your plans for today?”

　　Shen Mo thought he wanted to invite him to dinner again, so he had to find a way to refuse: “I’m painting in the room in the morning, and I plan to go to the beach in the afternoon.”

　　”Then you are free.” Ji Mingxuan nodded and said, “Do me a favor.”

　　As he spoke, he reached behind him and pulled out the little boy with black hair and black eyes, and brought him in front of Shen Mo.

　　Ji Ning was wearing a baseball shirt, sports shorts, and a red baseball cap today. He looked lively and cute. When he saw Shen Mo, he smiled sweetly, “Hello, uncle.”

　　Shen Mo’s heart softened, and he hurriedly greeted him and asked, “Why did you get up so early?”

　　Jining raised his head and looked at his father pitifully.

　　Ji Mingxuan looked at his watch and said, “I have to meet a client today and I have to leave in ten minutes.”

　　He paused, looked at Shen Mo and said, “Please take care of Ji Ning for me.”

　

　　”What?” Shen Mo was still confused, and said after a long while, “But I don’t know how to take care of children…”

　　Of course, Mr. Ji would not allow others to refuse, and immediately said: “There is a nanny here, you just need to watch over her.”

　　As he said that, he rubbed Ji Ning’s head.

　　Ji Ning walked up and held Shen Mo’s hand, blinking his big eyes, and said softly, “Uncle, play with me.”

　　He is so well behaved.

　　How could Shen Mo break free of his hand? While he was still hesitating, Ji Mingxuan had already taken Ji Ning’s other hand and pulled him outside, saying as he walked, “Come to my place. Everything is complete. You can find a babysitter if you need anything. I’m going out to sea during the day and will probably be back in the evening, so we can have dinner together.”

　　Although his pace was not fast, it was the speed of an adult after all. Shen Mo was afraid that Ji Ning would not be able to keep up and fall, so he had to close the door and hurriedly catch up.

　　Ji Ning held one of them in each hand and walked between the two of them, looking particularly excited.
