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

Song Yanxi did not appear in Huajin Garden for three consecutive days after that night.

Chu Yanyi guessed that he was deliberately keeping her cold and pretending not to know anything. He still sent messages to say hello every day. Each message was followed by a disgusting "I miss you" or "I love you".

After reading it, Song Yanxi almost ignored it and did not reply to the message.

Today was the day Bai Lian was discharged from the hospital. After the company approved the more urgent documents, he immediately rushed to the hospital to pick Bai Lian up and discharge him.

After Bai Lian returned to China, he did not live in the Bai family, but in the city center apartment bought for him by Bai Zhongxu.

Song Yanxi sent Bai Lian downstairs to the apartment. The other party invited him to come up and sit. He raised his hand and looked at his watch: "No, I have an appointment with my partners for lunch at noon."

When Bai Lian saw him and was about to leave, he suddenly shouted: "Yanxi."

Song Yanxi looked at him, who had a faint smile on his face: "I haven't returned to China for three years. I want to visit our former high school on the weekend. Can you go with me?"

Song Yanxi opened his lips, and after a moment, nodded gently: "Okay."

The low-key black Maybach slowly drove out of sight, and Bai Lian slowly turned back his gaze until it disappeared from sight.

He didn't know if the two of them had been separated for a long time, but he felt that he no longer understood Song Yanxi's thoughts at all.

When he asked him just now if he would accompany him back to school over the weekend, he actually sensed Song Yanxi's hesitation and reluctance.

"Did Yanxi fall in love with Chu Yanyi?" As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, it was blown away by the oncoming cold wind.

Today, he originally wanted to tell Song Yanxi about Chu Yanyi's provocative photos, but after much thought, he finally gave up the idea.

First, although Chu Yanyi was his substitute, now that he was back, Song Yanxi had no intention of driving Chu Yanyi away. He could not figure out Song Yanxi's attitude towards Chu Yanyi for the time being;

Secondly, since he returned to China, Song Yanxi's attitude towards him has been a bit intriguing, neither taking the initiative to get close nor deliberately keeping a distance. The two of them still get along as before, but he always feels that they are not as close as before, and Song Yanxi feels alienated from him;

Thirdly, he and Song Yanxi have known each other for nearly ten years, and they are interested in each other, but after all, the window paper has not been broken, and the two are currently in a relationship of friends that is neither awkward nor awkward;

Fourth, he couldn't let Song Yanxi know that he had those bed photos of him. If one day Chu Yanyi deliberately leaked them and caused the Song Group's stock price to fall, he would become the object of Song Yanxi's suspicion regardless of whether he did it or not. one.

Since Chu Yanyi dared to send those photos to himself, he made it clear that he was not afraid of him telling Song Yanxi. If he told Song Yanxi about this, he might fall into the other party's scheme.

The elevator door stopped at the sixteenth floor. Bai Lian walked out of the elevator and entered the password to open the door.

After changing his shoes at the entrance, the first thing he did was to take out a cigarette case and lighter from the TV cabinet. He took one out, lit it, and took a deep breath.

Nicotine secretes emotional dopamine, producing a mental and emotional high that is both addictive and sobering.

While puffing away the mist, the worries and fatigue in my heart were relieved, and my thoughts drifted away unconsciously.

Three years ago, I accidentally discovered that Song Yanxi had twin sons. After several inquiries, she only got one sentence from Song Yanxi: "The children are not my biological children."

He didn't believe it at the time because the two children looked too much like Song Yanxi when he was a child.

Although the two did not have a confirmed relationship at the time, he felt that Song Yanxi had betrayed him, and despite Song Yanxi's efforts to persuade him to stay, he resolutely chose to go abroad.

After going abroad, neither of them contacted each other, and they had a kind of attitude of not having contact with each other until death.

In fact, not long after going abroad, he regretted it.

He had wanted to contact Song Yanxi several times, but Song Yanxi not only didn't visit him after he went abroad, but he never even called him. This made him unable to let go of his pride and face and took the initiative to contact him.

In this way, the two did not contact each other for a full year.

When he finally let go of his pride and face and planned to contact Song Yanxi, he learned from Jing Xiuyuan that Song Yanxi had a little lover. He felt disgusted and angry, so he stopped contacting her.

Half a year later, Bai Ziyu learned from Bai Ziyu that the man whom Song Yanxi kept looked similar to him and was his substitute. He confirmed that Song Yanxi had him in his heart, so he put aside his pride and face and gave him an injection on Song Yanxi's birthday. A phone call.

Because of his initiative that time, the two of them kept in touch with each other for the next year and a half.

On holidays or birthdays, they would call each other to wish each other well.

After resuming contact, Song Yanxi also visited him twice when he was on a business trip abroad.

When the two met for the first time abroad, he had already vaguely felt that Song Yanxi's feelings for him were not as deep as before.

But he didn't make a name for himself abroad at that time. If he returned to China, others would think that he couldn't survive abroad.

He insisted on going abroad. Although there was some grudge against Song Yanxi, everyone knew that he went abroad to pursue his music dream.

He is a proud man. He has not made any achievements abroad, so naturally he cannot return home in despair.

Fortunately, three months ago, he finally won the championship in the XXX International Piano Competition. Under the operation of the company, he became what everyone calls the Chinese piano prince with both talent and appearance.

With so many thoughts in his mind, Bai Lian didn't notice that the cigarette in his hand had been burned to the end.

It wasn't until he felt a burning pain at his fingertips that he came back to his senses and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
