C128 — Kill That Big Star（26）

A person may always have this or that misfortune, but that was no reason for him to go looking for trouble with innocent people.

 

 

Shen Jue didn’t want to pay attention to Ji Yao at all, and when he was still talking to him, he simply closed his eyes. He was in pain and sleepy, and all he wanted to do was sleep.

 

 

But Ji Yao didn’t seem to want to let him sleep; he kept talking next to him, and if Shen Jue was fast asleep, Ji Yao would come over and kiss him, making Shen Jue have to wake up, and that bit of sleepiness could only be driven away.

 

After more than an hour of this, Ji Yao was willing to let Shen Jue go to sleep, and when Shen Jue woke up, it was already late at night.

 

He was woken up by the sound of the baby crying, and just as he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Yao awkwardly holding the baby in his arms, feeding him formula milk, but he didn’t seem to be feeding him in the right position, so the baby cried a lot.

 

“Give the baby to me.” Shen Jue couldn’t look away. The child’s face was red from crying; it was getting uglier and uglier.

 

 

In the realm, everything was virtual; Shao Ge was virtual, as was Ji Yao, but this child had come out of his stomach. This feeling was really strange, especially when the child stopped crying as soon as he arrived in his arms.

 

“As soon as he came into your arms, he stopped crying; his eyes can’t open, but he knows that he was looking for his father.” Ji Yao watched from the sidelines and couldn’t help but chuckle.

 

 

Shen Jue ignored him and fed the child before handing him back to Ji Yao. “Put him back.”

 

 

He didn’t have much strength right now; there was no way he could move the child to the cot next to him.

 

 

Now he couldn’t run away; he could only stay here for the time being, waiting for his body to get better. He just didn’t know if Shao Ge could find this place.

 

 

The child drank his fill and re-slept, and when Ji Yao put him back in the cot, he couldn’t help but gently touch the child’s little face.

 

 

 

It was tender, just like a block of tofu.

 

 

“He looks like you; do you want to give him a name now?” Ji Yao smiled as he looked at Shen Jue.

 

 

Shen Jue leaned back on the bed, his face still pale. At Ji Yao’s question, he frowned. “Shao, what should his first name be? I don’t know how to pick a name; it’s better to let the child’s father do it.”

 

 

The smile on Ji Yao’s face remained unchanged. “Then how about a little name first? Lele? A lifetime of joy and happiness.”

 

Shen Jue didn’t say anything.

 

Ji Yao was silent for a split second and walked over to the bedside table. “Alright then, no names right now; let’s have some soup first; the doctor said that you just had surgery and can only eat some fluids.”

 

 

He set up a small wooden table on the hospital bed and put several kinds of soup broth on it, not much of each.

 

 

Ji Yao let Shen Jue rinse his mouth first before putting the spoon in the other man’s hand. When he saw Shen Jue drink several small bowls of soup in one gulp, he couldn’t stop the smile on his lips.

 

 

After finishing the soup, Ji Yao helped Shen Jue take a bath, saying that Shen Jue wouldn’t be able to get out of bed until tomorrow, so he just needed to stay in bed for the time being.

 

 

Shen Jue looked at Ji Yao as he busied himself; his gaze darkened slightly. “Ji Yao, how long are you going to keep me locked up?”

 

 

Ji Yao’s action of packing up his things gave him a start. He slowly raised his head to look at Shen Jue; his eyes were serious. “I’m not locking you up; I just want to be nice to you. No one’s been nice to me, so I want to be nice to you, and I hope you’ll be nice to me in the future. Anything Shao Ge can do, I can do. You said before that I don’t cook well, but I made the soup just now; don’t you think it’s much improved?”

 

Ji Yao felt that he didn’t want much in his life. He wanted love, and the love he wanted always belonged to someone else.

 

 

When he became his sister, his mother loved him; if he became like Shao Ge, would Shen Jue fall in love with him?

 

 

He knew that some love was selfless, but his love was selfish; he just wanted to be able to see others all the time, even if he had to give more.

 

 

“Then go get Shao Ge to come over.” Shen Jue said it in a cold voice.

 

 

Ji Yao shook his head gently at his words: “You won’t be able to see me when he comes.”

 

 

Hearing such a reply, Shen Jue already understood that Ji Yao was only saying on the surface that he wasn’t locked up, but in reality, he was still isolating him from others, or at least from Shao Ge.

 

 

Over the next few days, Ji Yao was very devoted—so devoted that it was as if the child Shen Jue had given birth to was his. Whenever the child cried, he’d be there to coax it, not feeling tired at all, something that Shen Jue in his previous lives couldn’t do; when he was bringing up the child on his own, he’d often be broken down by the child, but not Ji Yao.

 

 

It was as if he had infinite patience to tolerate this little brat who didn’t know anything; whether it was crying or pooping, he could handle it, always with a smile on his face.

 

 

He took care of the child but also had to take care of Shen Jue, who now had to get out of bed and walk around every day. Ji Yao wouldn’t let Shen Jue go out and would only help him walk around the room.

 

 

He guessed that maybe there were other patients on this floor and that Ji Yao didn’t let him go out, perhaps because he was afraid of being seen by others. Shen Jue also stood in the window there and saw people walking on the hospital lawn, but unfortunately he didn’t even have a pen and paper, and Ji Yao stared at him very tightly.

 

……

 

It was two weeks later when Shao Ge showed up.

 

 

That day, Shen Jue was standing at the window while Ji Yao held the baby and put the other to bed.

 

The door was suddenly slammed open.

 

Shao Ge, dressed in black, rushed straight in, and he saw Ji Yao first before seeing Shen Jue standing at the window.

 

Ji Yao saw Shao Ge appear, but he didn’t seem surprised at all; he just frowned and patted the child who was crying from the noise. “You’re disturbing the child.”

 

Shao Ge now looked very haggard; even the beard on his face wasn’t shaved clean, and his eyes were even reddish, as if he hadn’t had a good sleep for a long time.

 

 

Shao Ge seldom appeared in this kind of wretched and haggard appearance.

 

 

He pushed away the security guards who tried to grab him and said angrily, “Ji Yao, you let Shen Jue and the child go.”

 

 

Ji Yao’s expression was a little cold. “I didn’t think you’d still find your way here.”

 

 

Shao Ge stopped looking at Ji Yao and instead looked at Shen Jue in the back, and he sighed in relief when he saw that he still looked good. During this period of time, he almost went crazy looking for all the hospitals in the M City base before he finally found his way here and was able to accurately find this room because he had just unintentionally glimpsed Shen Jue’s figure on the upper floors.

 

 

He couldn’t be completely sure because of the reflections from the windows, but as long as there was the slightest possibility, he was going to try. When he was about to walk into this ward, he was stopped by several people at the same time before he dared to be even a little bit sure that the person inside was Shen Jue.

 

 

Ji Yao looked down at the few people standing behind Shao Ge: ”Useless things, get out.”

 

After those people obediently exited, only the three of them and a still-crying child were left in the room.

 

Ji Yao held the child and shook him before placing him in the crib. And when he raised his head again, there was actually an extra g-un in his hand.

 

It was a g-un he had kept under the cot’s bedboard, and even Shen Jue didn’t notice it.

 

When Ji Yao took out the g-un, both Shen Jue and Shao Ge’s faces changed slightly, especially when Ji Yao aimed the gun at the child’s head.

 

“Ji Yao, don’t hurt the child; the child is innocent.” Shao Ge tried to calm himself down, but his eyes revealed his anxiety and panic at this moment.

 

 

The person being shouted at just laughed softly; he didn’t look at Shao Ge; he just looked up at Shen Jue obsessively. “Shen Jue, I’ll give you a choice, okay? You can go back with Shao Ge, as long as you can bear to see me ki-ll Lele.”

 

 

He’d given the child the nickname “Lele” of his own free will, but this was the second time he’d mentioned it in front of Shen Jue. Normally, he just calls him Baby.

 

 

Shen Jue looked into Ji Yao’s eyes and was no longer indifferent; all he felt was complete disgust. “You haven’t played enough?”

 

He was really sick of Ji Yao’s so-called choices; this lunatic was always like this.

 

“Yes, I haven’t played enough!” Ji Yao looked like he was stung by Shen Jue’s gaze and suddenly roared, which made the child cry even louder.

 

He was so startled by the child’s cries that he couldn’t help but look down, and that look was again so gentle, as if the person who was holding a g-un to the child’s head wasn’t him.

 

“Lele, don’t cry; I’m not being mean.”

 

Ji Yao coaxed for a while, then he suddenly looked back at Shao Ge, and Shao Ge’s approaching movements jerked.

 

“None of you should do anything rash, or I will really ki-ll this child.” Ji Yao’s red lips hooked into a charming smile. “It’s not my child anyway, so if it dies, it dies. The number of people who die these days is uncountable.”

 

Shao Ge frowned. “Ji Yao, can you be a little more sensible? There are many things in this world that cannot be forced.”

 

Ji Yao hummed and laughed. “So what? Shen Jue, you choose; if you don’t, I’ll tacitly agree that you chose Shao Ge and gave up Lele.” He stared at Shen Jue; his mouth slowly started a countdown: “Ten, nine, eight, three, two.”

 

“Ji Yao!” Shao Ge shouted out first.

 

 

It was followed by Shen Jue’s voice.

 

“Ji Yao, even if you ki-ll everyone, it won’t change the reality; your mother liked your sister, and I like Shao Ge; neither of them are you.” Shen Jue said it indifferently.

 

Shao Ge heard this and froze for a moment, then he looked at Shen Jue. This was the first time Shen Jue had said the word ‘like’.

 

 

The smile on Ji Yao’s face couldn’t hang on; his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes gradually changed. “You shut up! Shut up!” He roared out angrily at Shen Jue, his snow-white face reddening and the veins on his neck standing out.

 

 

He violently raised his g-un and pointed it at Shen Jue, his eyes becoming fierce. “Shut up! Shut up. ” Ji Yao kept repeating this sentence, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller.

 

 

When Shao Ge saw this scene, layer after layer of sweat appeared on his palms. He tried to calm his breathing, ready to rush up when he found the right moment.

 

 

But Shen Jue actually took a step forward at this time; he looked straight at Ji Yao and said, ”Want to ki-ll someone? Then shoot me. You’ve k-illed your mother; surely you wouldn’t mind ki-lling me.”

 

 

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

 

 

Ji Yao’s hand with the g-un began to tremble while Shen Jue advanced, and when Shen Jue came forward, he suddenly smiled.

 

 

And in the next instant, he pointed the g-un at his temple.

 

 

Ji Yao’s eyes changed as he looked at Shen Jue, changing back to the way Shen Jue had seen him for the first time, careless with a little bit of condescension.

 

 

It was as if he’d become the flamboyant 14th Young Master again, rather than the madman who demanded love by force.

 

 

“Shen Jue, I don’t want your love anymore; I want you to remember me for the rest of your life.”

 

 

These were the last words spoken by Ji Yao.

 

 

He fired his g-un.

 

 

The hot blo-od splattered all over Shen Jue’s face and body, even on the child in the cot.

 

 

The child didn’t know what was happening and wailed.

 

 

Shen Jue’s long eyelashes trembled as he watched Ji Yao smile and collapse.

 

After a while, it seemed like someone hugged him.

 

“It’s okay; it’s okay; it’s none of your business.” Someone rambled in his ear and kept wiping the blo-od off his face.

 

Shen Jue closed his eyes.
