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

Song Yanxi stiffened, not daring to look into Mother Song's eyes.

Mother Song understood immediately. She pressed her forehead and felt like she was about to be pissed off: "Your father and I are both devoted people in our relationships. How come we gave birth to such a scumbag like you? Sooner or later, you will let down other people's feelings." It will take its toll one day.”

Song Yanxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Mother Song said without mercy: "Don't talk, I don't want to hear the sophistry of a scumbag like you..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Yanxi's cell phone rang, interrupting her further words.

Hearing the familiar "Piano Concerto No. 3", Song's mother knew it was Bai Lian's call.

Nine years ago, after Bai Lian rescued Song Yanxi, the Song family, in order to express their gratitude, invited him to come to their home to play after he recovered from his injury.

Bai Lian saw the piano placed in the piano room and played an impromptu song, which was the "Piano Concerto No. 3".

Therefore, Song Yanxi set this "Piano Concerto No. 3" as Bai Lian's exclusive ringtone. From this day on, he began to gradually get closer to Bai Lian.

Seeing "Xiao Lian" on the caller ID, Song Yanxi pressed down the phone.

The phone rang twice more, but Song Yanxi still pressed it down without any hesitation.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call, please call again later."

Bai Lian on the other end of the phone was so angry that after dialing three times and getting only a mechanical female voice, she almost dropped her phone to the ground.

Song's mother was very surprised when she saw Song Yanxi dialing down Bai Lian's phone number.

In the past, Song Yanxi would never refuse Bai Lian's calls, nor would she miss any of his calls.

Even three years ago, when the two had a conflict over Bai Lian's going abroad, Song Yanxi never refused to answer the phone.

Could it be that because of Xiao Chu's death, his son saw his own heart clearly?

But when I asked him if he liked Xiao Chu, he was obviously silent again.

"Song Yanxi, I don't care who you like, your behavior of refusing to answer the phone without saying a word is very impolite. If you don't like Xiao Lian, you can make it clear to him directly. There is no need not to answer the phone. You now This kind of behavior is typical behavior of a scumbag."

Song Yanxi: "I..." The words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.

Mother Song: "In case Xiao Lian comes to you for something urgent, if you hang up the phone without saying a word, it may lead to irreversible consequences. Oh, how could Lao Song and I have given birth to such a scumbag like you? I'm really pissed off. Got it!"

"..." Seeing Mother Song's forehead veins pulsing and looking very angry, Song Yanxi had no choice but to call back.

"what's up?"

Hearing his somewhat indifferent voice, Bai Lian's expression froze slightly: "Yanxi, do you have time? I want to talk to you?" There was a hint of grievance and pleading in his tone.

Knowing what he wanted to talk about, Song Yanxi said in a low tone: "Let's talk about it another day, I'm busy now."

"Yanxi..."

There was only a "beep beep" busy tone on the phone. Bai Lian's long eyelashes were drooped, and she stared blankly at the hung up call, feeling her heart sinking uncontrollably.

"Did Yanxi really fall in love with Chu Yanyi, so he blamed me for his death..."

"Chu Yanyi is just your substitute. Yanxi will not like him. Probably because Chu Yanyi's death was too sudden and Yanxi couldn't react for a while, that's why he became indifferent to you." Jing Xiuyuan patted him gently. His shoulder: "Since Yanxi doesn't want to talk to you now, then wait until he calms down and you can talk again in a few days."

Bai Lian clenched the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white: "I don't know why, but I always feel that Chu Yanyi's death will build an insurmountable gap between Yanxi and me, and Yanxi and I will never be able to cross it again." possible……"

Jing Xiuyuan looked at him deeply and changed the subject: "Stop thinking so much and eat quickly."

Song Yanxi left the Song family's ancestral home and said nothing after getting in the car.

Qiu Liang saw through the reflector that he had a bad look on his face and drove the car in silence.

After driving halfway, he hesitated and asked, "Mr. Song, are you going back to the Rose Garden?"

"Huh?" Song Yanxi, who was staring out the window in a daze, answered the question: "Today is the seventh day, right?"

Qiu Liang paused slightly: "...Yes."

"Go to Huajin Garden."

Even though today is the day when Mr. Chu returns to his soul, he returns to his home, not Huajin Garden.

Glancing at the somewhat lost man in the back seat, Qiu Liang sighed helplessly and finally suppressed what was in his heart.

After Song Yanxi returned to Huajin Garden, he washed up and put on his bathrobe and went to Chu Yanyi's bedroom.

It's a pity that except for the solitary quilt, there is no such delicate and soft person on the bed.

The bedroom Chu Yanyi lived in was only over 40 square meters, not half as big as his master bedroom. But for the first time, Song Yanxi felt that it was so empty, cold, and lonely...

Lying on the bed where Chu Yanyi had been lying, staring blankly at the ceiling, regret, guilt, self-blame... and many other emotions came to his heart unconsciously.

He put his hand on his heart and murmured in a sour voice: "Chu Yanyi, I obviously don't like you. Why does my heart feel like a needle pricking me when you die?"

"If I had told you clearly before, wouldn't you have died?"

"Today is your rebirth day. Will you come back here to take a look?"

"Chu Yanyi, I'm sorry. Believe it or not, I have never regarded you as Xiao Lian's substitute..."

……

The next day, Qiu Liang arrived at Huajin Garden on time at 7:30 in the morning as usual.

After sitting in the car and waiting for five minutes without seeing Song Yanxi, he had no choice but to make a call.

However, after several calls, no one answered the phone, so Qiu Liang had to get out of the car and go inside.

When Song Yanxi woke up, he was lying in the ward of Ruikang Hospital with a splitting headache.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was receiving an infusion.

Chen Huai, who was guarding the bedside, saw that he was awake and said quickly: "Mr. Song, you are awake."

"Why am I in the hospital?" His voice was hoarse and his throat was dry.

"When Qiu Liang went to pick you up in the morning, he found that you hadn't come out yet and no one answered his phone calls. He went in to look for you and found out that you were sick, so he immediately sent you to the hospital."

Song Yanxi slowly sat up: "How is my health?"

Chen Huai poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "The doctor said it was due to overwork and lack of rest, plus a high fever caused by catching a cold."

Song Yanxi took the water and took two sips to relieve the dryness of his throat.

He has always been in good physical condition. During the three or four days of his overseas business trip, he was busy working on projects day and night. In the past few days after hearing the news of Chu Yanyi's death, he barely slept a wink at night. In addition, he slept in Chu Yanyi's bed last night. I forgot to turn on the heating in the room, which caused a sudden high fever.

Song Yanxi finished drinking the water and just returned the cup to Chen Huai when there was a noise outside the ward.

"Let me go! I want to see Song Yanxi!"

Chen Huai put down his cup, walked to the door and asked the bodyguard: "What's going on?"

The bodyguard pointed at the restrained man: "Chen Zhu, this man is clamoring to see Mr. Song."
