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

It was already past nine o'clock when Song Yanxi and I got home after dinner after get off work. The lights in the living room were still on, the TV was on, and Chu Qian'an was watching TV while holding Shao Siming.

Hearing the sound, Chu Qian turned his head and revealed a sunny smile, his slightly curved eyes filled with fragmented light.

"Brother, you are back."

Chu Yanyi walked over and pinched his chubby cheeks: "What are you so happy about?"

"Brother Chu Lin is so funny."

"Did you see Chu Lin today?"

"No."

"So you say he's funny?"

"Brother, watch TV."

Chu Yanyi looked over and saw that the TV was playing one of the top three popular variety shows in the country, and Chu Lin was one of the guests.

Although Chu Lin had accumulated fans when he participated in the talent show, he is now just a 36th-tier unknown star and is completely unqualified to participate in such a popular variety show.

It was only because he and Song Yanxi supported Chu Lin on the set last time, and after people in the circle knew that he had the support of the Song Group, his resources had a qualitative improvement.

Now, Chu Lin can not only choose the script he likes, but his agency has also put him in this popular variety show to increase his popularity.

Chu Yanyi smiled and rubbed Chu Qian'an's head, as if remembering something, and asked, "Have Big Brother and Hall ever come back?"

Chu Qi'an held Shao Siming and moved to the side, avoiding his hand: "Brother, can you please stop being like Sister Zhizhi, always rubbing my hair and messing up my hairstyle."

"Oh, the little brat is quite vain." Chu Yanyi stroked Shao Siming again like Chu Qian'an stroked his hair, making the furry curly hair look like a bird's nest.

"I'm just being conscious of my image, not being vain. Also, I'm fifteen years old, not a little brat."

Chu Yanyi smiled and said, "As long as they are underage, they are all little brats."

Chu Qian'an made a "squeak" sound and stopped talking.

"Where are Big Brother and Hall?" Chu Yanyi repeated the question he had just asked.

"They have already returned home. Didn't Big Brother tell you?"

"When did you leave?"

"Early yesterday morning."

“……”Brett is a guy who runs quite fast.

Chu Yanyi looked at the large European retro alarm clock on the wall, turned around and walked upstairs: "Don't watch it too late, go to bed early."

"understood."

……

In the next few days, Chu Yanyi entered a busy work.

Since the last lunch break incident, Song Yanxi has reported to Chu Yanyi's office almost every day unless he is on a business trip.

After having lunch together at noon, Song Yanxi naturally occupied half of the bed in his lounge, and Chu Yanyi had to change the 1.5-meter bed to a 1.8-meter one.

As a result, Song Yanxi became even more of a jack of all trades, and even half of the bed was occupied by him from time to time.

Seven days later, Chu Yanyi flew to Country F with Song Yannan and assistant Jiang Ming.

For this trip to Country F, Song Yanxi specially arranged his private plane.

After arriving, the group was arranged to stay in his villa in Country F.

The location of the villa is very good. It is located on the shore of Laishui Lake in Country F. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and looking across, you can see a palace-style building hidden in the green trees across the lake, giving people a feeling of open vision, quietness and warmth.

"My sister lived here during the years she was recuperating abroad. The first room on the right is her bedroom, and my bedroom is the one on the far left."

Song Yanxi led Chu Yanyi to the second floor and naturally carried his suitcase into his bedroom.

Chu Yanyi opened his mouth and wanted to say that he would not live with him, but then he thought that although they had not confirmed their relationship yet, they had done most of the things that lovers do, so there was no need to be pretentious.

"Yanyan, if you are tired, take a rest first and adjust to the time difference. I will ask the housekeeper to arrange lunch. I will call you when it is ready."

Last night, Song Yanxi and I didn’t fall asleep until after 1 a.m., and today we flew for seven or eight hours, so he is indeed a little tired now.

"Ah."

After Chu Yanyi watched Song Yanxi leave the room and close the door gently, he opened his suitcase, changed into pajamas, took off his shoes, and threw himself unceremoniously onto Song Yanxi's nearly two-meter-wide bed.

The soft big bed bore the entire weight of his body. Chu Yanyi stared at the ceiling for a while and closed his eyes contentedly.

Three hours later, when Song Yanxi opened the door and walked in.

"Yanyan, get up."

"Well......"

Chu Yanyi opened his eyes, and his voice, just after waking up, was a little nasal, less cold and a little more inexplicably cute.

Song Yanxi's heart trembled when he heard this: "How was your rest? The kitchen has prepared the food, let's go downstairs."

Chu Yanyi blinked slowly and stared at Song Yanxi's face for a while: "Wait for me five minutes, I'll change my clothes and go downstairs."

He jumped off the bed, took out a set of casual clothes from the suitcase, and took off his pajamas in front of Song Yanxi without any shyness.

Song Yanxi stared at his smooth back with his eyes wide open, and his throat rolled unconsciously.

Realizing that there were signs of excitement somewhere in himself, he quickly looked away, trying his best to calm the heat in his heart.

The housekeeper of the villa was a woman from country F. She was slightly plump, had fair skin, kind eyes, and spoke fluent Chinese.

Seeing Chu Yanyi and Song Yanxi coming down the stairs, she immediately came over and said with a warm smile: "Welcome, angels from the East."

Seeing Chu Yanyi looking at the other party with a hint of doubt in his eyes, Song Yanxi introduced: "This is Julia, the housekeeper who used to take care of my sister in the villa."

Chu Yanyi showed his usual smile: "Hello, Mrs. Julia."

"Call me Julia, my dear little angel."

"Okay, Julia."

"Brother Yanxi, Brother Chu, please come over and sit down to eat. I'm starving." Song Yannan, who had been sitting at the dining table waiting, couldn't help but shout.

Chu Yanyi and Song Yanxi had no choice but to walk towards the restaurant.

Although Julia was the housekeeper, Song Yanxi and Song Yannan both respected her very much and invited her to sit down and dine with them.

"Let's toast together and wish President Chu victory in the competition!" Song Yannan raised his glass first.

"I wish President Chu to win the competition!"

"I wish President Chu to win the competition!"

"..."

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, lots of laughter...

This meal was a very relaxing and enjoyable one.

After it was over, Chu Yanyi was a little tipsy and couldn't help humming a song as he went upstairs.

Although I only hummed two or three sentences, it couldn't hide the joy in my heart.

"Yanyan, you like Julia very much." Song Yanxi said.

"Yes."

"What do you like about her?"

Chu Yanyi sat on the sofa in the room, took the cup of water handed to him by Song Yanxi and took a sip: "I like her smile, it is very contagious, and it makes people feel happy when they see it."

Song Yanxi nodded: "I chose her to be the housekeeper because of her smile, which makes people feel very friendly. Julia is half responsible for my sister's recovery from depression."

"No wonder you and Song Yannan respect her so much."

"Respect her, not because she helped my sister get out of depression, but mainly because she is a person worthy of respect. Julia likes you very much, too. You can stay here for a few more days after the game. We can go to Julia's hometown to have fun."

“Have you ever been to Julia’s hometown?”

"I've been there twice with my sister. Her hometown is in a small border town in Country F. The people there are simple and honest, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a good place to relax."

Chu Yanyi nodded happily, and then sighed with some regret: "It's a pity that I have to return home immediately after the game."

Song Yanxi looked at the whorl of hair on his head and said, "It shouldn't matter if I go back a few days later."

Chu Yanyi glanced at him, then quickly looked away: "If I can win the competition, I must take this opportunity to increase the popularity of Linglong Family in China and expand its influence, and seize the market left after the collapse of Bai Group."

Originally, they planned to travel in Country F for a few days after the competition, and then make a romantic confession in the music restaurant where they met ten years ago.

Hearing him say this, Song Yanxi had to give up his previous idea and said with understanding: "We'll go again when we have time."
