set fire to his heart

It was already late at night.

The whole old house is very quiet.

Although the lights were not turned on, the moonlight coming through the window was enough for her to see the road under her feet clearly.

Su Yining came to the first floor.

She opened the door and went into the corridor outside.

Cool breeze.

She clenched her coat tightly and went down the steps to find it from the place where she last saw Fu Yanshen.

The old house is huge, and the moonlight casts her figure on the ground.

The bushes not far away were rustling by the wind, and it sounded a bit flustered in the silent middle of the night when no one was around.

Su Yining shook her head, she might as well think about it herself.

she thought.

Since Fu Yanshen was walking towards the old house, he shouldn't run very far.

Su Yining walked along the old house like this.

From the front yard to the back yard, Fu Yanshen was never seen.

Did he really go far?

If that's the case, this place is so big, where should she go to find him?

Nothing will happen, do you want to tell Uncle Xiang?
The more Su Yining thought about it, the more worried she became.

Just when she stopped and hesitated, she faintly heard a slight collision.

The crisp sound sounded like the sound of glass hitting the ground.

Realize this.

Su Yining continued to move forward.

She has gone around from the front yard of the old house, from the east to the back yard, leaving only the west side.

And that voice happened to come from the west.

Su Yining leaned against the wall, walking lightly.

When she came to the corner, she poked her head out tentatively, and then...

She saw a slender figure sitting on the steps.

Fu Yanshen sat there alone, with a black shadow cast behind him as his only companion.

Beside him, there were several empty beer bottles.

separated by a certain distance.

In addition, Fu Yan was facing her from the side, and was blocked by the stone pillar, so Su Yining couldn't see his expression clearly.

But even so, she could feel that he was very depressed.

For the past six months with him.

This was the first time she saw Fu Yanshen like this.

why?

Why, he is so uncomfortable, drinking alone to relieve his sorrow?

Su Yining was thinking about whether to go over to comfort him, when the side door to the west of the old house was suddenly opened.

"crunch..."

Hearing the sound, Su Yining hurriedly retreated.

She pricked up her ears to listen.

Through the frequency of footsteps, the other party walked very slowly, and...

The crutches hit the ground with a muffled sound.

When Su Yining peeked carefully again, she saw the old housekeeper appearing behind him.

He held a blanket in his hand and put it on for Fu Yanshen.

"It's late at night, it's cold outside, young master Yan Shen."

Grandpa Xiang's voice was very soft.

But because the surroundings were so quiet, Su Yining could hear clearly.

His tone was very distressed.

It can be guessed from his actions - he knows that Fu Yanshen is sitting here drinking, and he loves him very much.

Fu Yanshen didn't respond, but tilted his head slightly, and then continued to drink with his head up.

see.

Grandpa Xiang sighed heavily.

His hands landed on his shoulders, patting him lightly twice as comfort.

"Young master, I don't blame you for what happened back then, don't be too sad."

When Grandpa Xiang's voice came into his ears.

Su Yining's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly remembered the question that Luo Yihan asked Fu Yanshen that night.

Do you have someone you are ashamed of?
Fu Yanshen didn't answer, but his choice of drinking undoubtedly revealed the answer.

He has people he is ashamed of.

Because there is, so he drank there depressed.

Who is it?
Su Yining swallowed hard.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to their movements.

Knowing that eavesdropping is not good, but she can't control herself now, she just wants to find out.

It must be very important to him to make it difficult for Fu Yanshen to control his emotions!
But he has stayed behind closed doors for many years, and still suffers from unequal treatment in the Fu family, so how can there be someone who is ashamed?
Su Yining couldn't wait for Fu Yanshen's answer.

When she poked her head out to look again, he saw Fu Yanshen leaning sideways, with his head lightly leaning on Grandpa Xiang's leg.

He didn't speak, but turned his back to Su Yining.

Grandpa Xiang let out a heavy sigh.

He caressed Fu Yanshen's head gently with his hands, as if coaxing a child, and said, "Young master, it's getting late, if you don't go back to your room, young mistress should be worried about you."

Grandpa Xiang said in a low voice, the caressing movements continued.

"Seeing that you are accompanied by your other half, I, an old man, can be relieved..."

The two did not speak again, but the solemn and mournful atmosphere still did not improve.

After standing around the corner for a moment.

Su Yining took a deep breath, she still left there gently, as if she had never appeared at all.

After making sure that Fu Yanshen was safe, she could at least feel at ease.

Su Yining returned the same way.

When she got back to the bedroom, she was lying on the bed.

Regarding what Grandpa Xiang said, as well as Fu Yanshen's behavior, everything made it hard for her to let go.

And it didn't take long.

She heard footsteps outside the room.

From far to near, until he opened the bedroom door.

Although Fu Yanshen's movement was very light, the door could be opened, and the lights in the corridor cast his figure on the wall.

Seeing him coming back, Su Yining, who had his back turned to him, closed his eyes reflexively.

She pretended to be asleep.

Su Yining couldn't see Fu Yanshen, but it was not difficult to tell from the small sounds he made that he was taking off his clothes.

The strong smell of alcohol filled the bedroom.

Fu Yanshen lifted the quilt and lay down gently on the other side of the bed.

then.

Su Yining felt a hot chest pressed against her.

He hugged her behind her.

From the strength of his movements, he could feel Fu Yanshen's forbearance.

He couldn't bear to wake her up, like a wounded little animal, hiding to lick its wound secretly.

"..." Su Yining swallowed involuntarily.

The surrounding area is extremely quiet.

Only his heavy breathing was left, entwined with the smell of alcohol.

Su Yining closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep until he planted an extremely soft kiss on the back of her neck.

His actions gradually opened up her twisted heart.

He didn't care about her.

He's just in a bad mood and needs a little time and space to self-regulate.

Thinking of this, Su Yining's suffocation in his chest disappeared in an instant.

She continued to pretend to be asleep, murmured in deep sleep, turned around and adjusted her position, and finally adjusted from the sleeping position with her back to him to face him.

Su Yining shrank into his arms, and opened her arms to hug him back.

Her "unconscious" movements made Fu Yanshen's body slightly stiff, until she stopped moving, and he hugged her again.

After kissing the top of her hair lightly, Fu Yanshen closed his eyes.

The two cuddled each other and fell asleep.

No amount of words or comfort can compare to this true and warm hug...
