Rebirth alone

How long has it been since he made a fuss and refused to take the medicine?How long has it been since he chased the teacher out of the house?How long has it been since those occasional outbreaks of cloudy weather, moodiness, and depression that no one bothered to care about happened?

The way he sat there was so calm and peaceful, his expression and behavior, the aura around him, how could he look like a 16-year-old half-grown child?He was... almost a different person.

"Uncle?" Ye Tao didn't understand, so he looked at the man who had lost his voice in the middle of the sentence, and there was a hint of confusion in his quiet eyes.

"Huh?" Zhou Ziqian, who was in deep thought, seemed to wake up from a dream. He recalled a little before continuing what he said just now, "I came back to change clothes. There is a banquet tonight. Don't wait for me to have dinner."

Ye Tao nodded as usual, and asked casually, "What kind of banquet?"

"A little girl your age is celebrating her birthday." Zhou Ziqian just came to say hello to his nephew, nothing special, and went back to the house to change clothes after explaining.

Ye Tao's eyes flickered, and he turned his head and called out the window: "Xiaocheng."

"Here we come." Xiao Cheng, who was watering the trees in the yard, turned off the water, turned around and walked into the house, answering every call, with a body as light as a swallow, not like a chubby man at all.

When Zhou Ziqian came out after changing his clothes, Ye Tao was waiting for him sitting on the stone bench under the canopy in the courtyard. Why, then the outfit he wears when he goes out can explain everything.

The housekeeper followed behind Zhou Ziqian, holding a one-foot-long brocade box in his hand, and kept silent knowingly.

Zhou Ziqian looked at Ye Tao with a bit of a smile on his face: "Do you think it's not boring to have a birthday party for your peers?"

Ye Tao asked back: "Will it be more boring than eating by yourself?"

Zhou Ziqian said, "It's indeed more boring to you than staying at home."

Ye Tao didn't argue, but just stared at Zhou Ziqian with those always indifferent and quiet eyes. He didn't have to go out, and that dinner had no special meaning to him. His request to go out was just a gradual change. The status quo of this caged bird.

"Forget it, go if you want to go, don't be bored there." Sometimes silence speaks louder than words, and Zhou Ziqian, who can bear his little nephew's soft-heartedness and coquetry, is defeated by Ye Tao's eye attack.

Ye Tao got up and came to Zhou Ziqian, with warm eyebrows and slightly raised lips, looking happy that his wish had been fulfilled.

"Let's go." Zhou Ziqian rubbed his hair helplessly and pamperingly, then stretched out his hand naturally.

Ye Tao held it cooperatively. This person always habitually treats his little nephew as a three-year-old baby. It takes patience and time to correct this habitual misunderstanding, and he can only take it slowly.

The three of them passed through the hall, their footsteps staggered, and no one noticed that there was a black figure quietly following behind. When the driver opened the door to ask the two young masters to get on the bus, a figure who was lighter than Xiaocheng and said "咱- "With a sound, he jumped up, his body was so vigorous and his movements were so fast that even a few pairs of eyes couldn't tell what it was.

The assistant who took the brocade box from the housekeeper paused: "What?"

Ye Tao felt helpless, his face was calm, and his tone was light: "My cat."

The baby's eyes are like torches, staring at a tiger, and it threatens anyone who tries to grab it and get off the car. The young master is spoiled and spoiled. He can't fight wild cats or dogs. He doesn't have a good sense of direction. So he can only tell these humans who don't understand the cat's mind by waving his little paw: this baby has to go out, and this baby should not stay at home with cats all day.

Fortunately, Ye Tao is as careful as dust, and he loves and pities the kitten who is in trouble. When the baby forced the housekeeper driver away one after another, and confronted Zhou Ziqian's assistant, Ye Tao finally persuaded Zhou Ziqian.

The birthday girl has a prominent family background. The birthday party is held in a magnificent star-rated hotel. The guests are all people who are either rich or expensive. It is not so much a birthday celebration as a social dinner. Naturally, pets are not allowed on this occasion. Set foot, even if that pet belongs to the young master of the Zhou family.

The baby was entrusted to the driver by Ye Tao to take care of him. The baby has no objection to this. It is boring at home. It is not Ye Tao who is even more boring to attend such banquets, but the former Zhou Yunxi. The reason why the baby insists on following is Play happily, not looking for boredom.

But even Ye Tao has to admit that it is really boring to be in this place where the clothes are fragrant, the temples are staggered, and the point is that it has nothing to do with him. When Zhou Ziqian chats and greets people, he plays the role of an accompanying side decorations.

In fact, Ye Tao, who is thin and reticent, is a bit eye-catching. The people around him are either wearing suits or long skirts. He is the only one wearing a loose but well-fitting satin underwear and a moon-white shirt. It is decorated with a row of buckles, and the small stand-up collar wraps half of the slender neck. The sleeves are loose but not procrastinating, and the beads on the wrist are exposed with a slight lift of the hand. This Chinese style adds some freshness. Element's clothing makes the wearer look extravagant yet elegant, outstanding but not obtrusive.

Ye Tao is not sure whether Zhou Yunxi's own taste, which is very different from the young people nowadays, or whether he came here for comfort and lightness. Anyway, most of the clothes in the wardrobe are like this. Ye Tao is not sure how to dress properly for the banquet, so let Xiaocheng give it to him The clothes he brought, Xiaocheng gave him this one. As for the few western-style formal suits, Xiaocheng didn't even look at them, and didn't know what occasions they could use.

As soon as Luo Dong entered the banquet hall, he saw the exquisite "decorations" beside Zhou Ziqian, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He even persuaded Zhou Ziqian, who was overprotective of his nephew, to bring him to the banquet. It seems that the canary in the cage is not It is impossible to regain freedom.

"Ziqian, when did you arrive?" Luo Dong smiled slightly and went forward to chat with Zhou Ziqian. Now the two have already called Zhou Ziqian by his first name, and the change of address makes him seem a lot closer.

It was inconvenient for Luo Dong's assistant to interrupt, so after greeting Zhou Ziqian, she went to a boss who was really in the limelight. Before she left, she gave Luo Dong the birthday gift that her boss was going to give herself.

"That's not it." Luo Dong was chatting and laughing with Zhou Ziqian while smoothing the hair of the teacup dog in his hand. This is the birthday gift that the little birthday boy specified. The gifts brought by the guests were too shabby compared to this puppy, but no one thought that Luo Dong only prepared this gift, and everyone knew that the one that was not shabby had probably been privately sent to Xiaoshouxing’s father up.

Seeing Ye Tao looking at the puppy in his hand, Luo Dong stretched out his big hand and said, "You like it? I'll give you one some other day. This is only the master. Let me give you a hug."

The puppy has brown curly hair, is less than six inches long, has a small black bow tie around its neck, has watery eyes, and looks very pleasing.

Ye Tao just looked at it casually, and was not very interested in it, but Luo Dong brought it up, he couldn't refute his face in front of others, so he went to pick it up, but he moved a step slower, and he didn't even have a dog hair Before even touching it, he stretched out a hand and intercepted the puppy.

"Is it for the little birthday star? It's so cute, Mr. Luo really knows how to choose a gift." An Chengxuan held the puppy with one hand, and stroked its soft curly hair with the other. Zhang Shi is a beautiful and harmless face.

"Yunxi is hungry, I'll take him to eat something, sorry." Zhou Ziqian didn't want his nephew to be upset, so he supported Ye Tao's shoulder from behind to leave.

An Chengxuan continued to smile, but the hand that was stroking the puppy suddenly tightened. The puppy, who was already nervous because of fear of life, barked immediately. Although the sound was not very loud, it still attracted a few curious eyes. , An Chengxuan turned a blind eye, gently stroked the painful place of the puppy with his fingers and sighed: "Cute is cute, but it's too delicate, I don't know if I can support it, and if it dies, I don't know what the owner will feel sorry for." look."

The overtones were so obvious that even Luo Dong, who didn't know about Zhou Ziqian's entanglement with An Chengxuan, could tell that the words were strange. How could the person involved fail to hear what he meant?
