After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

The two of them were walking side by side, very close to each other. I don't know what Jian Huai said. Chu Yanyi turned her head and looked at him, with a bright smile on her beautiful face. That smile really dazzled Song Yanxi.

He originally had no intention of appearing in front of Chu Yanyi, but at this moment he couldn't help but push open the car door and walked over.

"Yan Yi."

Chu Yanyi paused and looked at him expressionlessly: "What does Mr. Song want from me?"

The smile on his face quickly disappeared when he raised his eyes to see who the person in front of him was. It was exactly the attitude one should have towards a stranger.

In contrast to Chu Yanyi's calm and distant look, Song Yanxi seemed a little embarrassed. The fingers hanging by his side trembled, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat: "I happened to see you, I came over to say hello."

Chu Yanyi avoided his scorching gaze and said "oh" without saltiness.

Song Yanxi moved his eyes from him to Jian Huai beside him, took a few steps forward, and stretched out his hand in a kind manner: "Mr. Jian, congratulations on being free."

As soon as he got closer, his aura of keeping strangers away was hard to ignore.

Seeing the man who had restrained his sharpness in front of Chu Yanyi just now and now showed his sharpness in front of her without any cover, Jian Huai shook his hand politely: "Thank you."

Song Yanxi lowered his hand to his side: "When did Mr. Jian come out?"

Jian Huaiyan said concisely: "Today."

Chu Yanyi was too lazy to wonder what Song Yanxi wanted to do, so he said politely and distantly: "Mr. Song, we have something else to do, so we should leave first."

"and many more!"

When he took steps forward, Song Yanxi hurriedly called him.

"What else do you want?" Chu Yanyi's eyebrows were cold and calm, with a little doubt in his clear eyes.

Rong Yu couldn't help but said: "Mr. Song, you have already said hello, what else do you want to do?"

Song Yanxi took the initiative and said, "Bai Lian used Xiu Yuan to ask me out today and wanted me to help the Bai family. I rejected him."

A simple sentence not only showed that he did not take the initiative to meet Bai Lian, but that Bai Lian used Jing Xiuyuan to trick him out without his knowledge, it also expressed his position and drew a clear line between him and Bai Lian.

Even someone as slow as Rong Yu could understand the multi-layered meanings in his words, let alone the always smart Chu Yanyi.

"I understand, thank you." He thanked him perfunctorily and walked towards the parking lot.

Seeing Jian Huai open the car door for Chu Yanyi and carefully protecting his head with his hands, Song Yanxi suddenly remembered all the analyzes Chen Huai had made.

If Jian Huai is really willing to take the blame for Chu Yanyi because he likes him, then compared with Jian Huai, he has no advantage over Chu Yanyi.

Now I just hope that Jian Huai didn't take the blame for Chu Yanyi three years ago because he liked him.

……

Chu Yanyi had arranged for people to clean the house that Jian Huai lived in three years ago regularly in the past few years, but after all, no one had lived in it for more than three years. He originally wanted Jian Huai to live in his place temporarily, but Jian Huai disagreed and insisted on returning to his own home. , Rongyu had to turn the car around.

In order to add some fireworks to the house that had not been occupied for several years, Chu Yanyi and Rong Yu decided to have a fire at Jian Huai's house at night, and called Wen Zhizhi over to have a party together.

The two of them helped clean up the house, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they came back from shopping for groceries.

Chu Qian finished school at half past five. Chu Yanyi put the dishes in the kitchen, took the car keys and went out to pick up people from school.

As soon as the car stopped at the school gate, he saw Chu Qian walking out with a schoolbag on his back.

Chu Yanyi lowered the window: "Qi An."

Chu Qian and Song Yanbei waved goodbye, and Sayazi ran over quickly.

Chu Yanyi unlocked the car, Chu Qian got into the passenger seat, took off his schoolbag and held it in his arms.

"Brother, why are you here to pick me up today? Where is Uncle Zhang?" Uncle Zhang is the driver who takes Chu Qian to and from school every day.

"We didn't have dinner at home at night, so we gave him a day off."

"Are you going to eat out? If you want to eat out, I want to eat Haidilao."

"Don't eat out, go to Brother Jian's house to eat."

Chu Qian knew Jian Huai, but didn't know about his imprisonment. After hearing this, he said "oh" and said nothing.

Chu Yanyi raised the window and was about to start the car when he saw Chu Qian rubbing his left knee. He noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with your knee?"

Chu Qian lowered his eyes and replied with a guilty conscience: "I accidentally fell during physical education class today."

Chu Yanyi pushed his hand away. His pants, which were still in good shape when he went out in the morning, were now dirty and balled up on his knees.

Seeing that it was indeed the mark left by friction when he fell, Chu Yanyi was not suspicious: "Pull up your trouser legs and let me take a look."

Chu Qian obediently pushed up his trouser legs.

His skin was already white, so the scrape on his knee was very conspicuous—red and swollen.

Chu Yanyi frowned: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurt a little at first, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Your school doesn't have an infirmary, why don't you go to the infirmary to deal with it?"

"It's not serious, so I didn't go."

"Be more careful next time in gym class."

"understood."

Chu Qian responded obediently and lowered his trouser legs.

Five-thirty was both the rush hour for get off work and school. There were many cars on the road, so Chu Yanyi didn't drive fast.

Chu Qian's fingers were wrapped around the seat belt to play with: "Brother, can I discuss something with you?"

Chu Yanyi looked forward intently: "What's going on?"

"Can we hold a dog wedding at our house on Saturday? I would like to invite some classmates to play at home."

Chu Yanyi was naturally used to Chu Qian's harmless fun.

But if the location was set at home, Song Yanbei's brother Song Yanxi might also come, and he didn't want to see Song Yanxi.

Chu Yanyi wanted to refuse, but when he saw Chu Qian's bright and expectant eyes, he couldn't say no.

"can."

"Thank you, brother." Chu Qian cheered happily.

"You invite your classmates to play, make a list of the things you need to prepare, and I will have someone buy them for you."

Chu Qian leaned on the seat and said with emotion: "Brother, you are so good, why don't you have a girlfriend or boyfriend."

Chu Yanyi asked funnyly: "Where can I go?"

Chu Qian thought for a while: "Handsome and rich, gentle and good-looking."

Hearing his answer, Chu Yanyi smiled and said nothing. Chu Qian asked relentlessly: "Brother, why don't you have a partner?"

"What's weird about not having a partner? Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious to ask."

Chu Qian took out a biscuit from her schoolbag, tore open the package and took a bite, then asked, "Brother, do you like boys or girls?"

"male."

Chu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "By the way, Yanbei's brother also likes men. I met Yanbei's brother once, and he is quite handsome. How about I ask Yanbei to treat his brother on Saturday? Bring me here too, so you can go on a blind date?"

Chu Yanyi: "..."
