the shadow

go up.From the beginning to the end, he couldn't let go of the person he had rescued with great difficulty, and he couldn't wait to be by his side.

"How about it?"

As soon as Qi Chou opened the door and went in, he saw that the medical staff had finished the physical examination on Yin and were arranging the medical equipment.

"Patriarch." Those who treat Yin are all doctors appointed by the Qi family, who receive a high salary every year to work for the Qi family.

"Mr. Twenty's body is fine except for the bullet wound on the shoulder, signs of dislocation and recovery in the ankle and wrist, and trauma and bruises on the back, buttocks and legs."

Qi Xi just breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard the doctor say, "It's just that the joint has been in a dislocated state for too long. Even if it has recovered, it will take a long period of cultivation and rehabilitation to fully recover. During the period, it is inevitable Suffer some pain. What's more, apart from the marks of whip and stick on Mr. Twenty's body, the bruises all over his body seem to be left after he rolled down the stairs. Therefore, it is not ruled out that there is a slight concussion and other possibility of sequelae."

Qi Xi listened to the doctor's narration, but it seemed that hidden experiences were presented one by one in front of him.He could hardly listen anymore, he couldn't imagine how Yin, who was stubborn and proud, would persuade his self-esteem to show his vulnerability in front of outsiders.

"Then when will he wake up?"

"Mr. Twenty's coma is only caused by blood loss and lack of rest. He will wake up when he gets enough sleep."

Qi Chou nodded to show that he knew and asked the butler Qin Mian to see off the guests.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qi Xi looked at the person who looked so cute and quiet in his sleep, and unconsciously touched Yin's cheek with his hand.

It was soft and warm, making him reluctant to part with it.

His eyes delicately and gently depicted the eyebrows and eyes of the person on the bed, as if he wanted to completely engrave his appearance in his mind.

"Do you know?" Qi Xi smiled lightly and stretched out his hands to straighten the messy strands of hair on his forehead, "Until this moment, I really felt that my heart was filled."

"Have a good rest," Qi Chou gently moistened his dry lips with a cotton swab soaked in water, "I'll wait for you."

When he woke up faintly, there was only a little maid who had taken care of him in the room, arranging his clothes at the end of the bed.

"Ah, Mr. Twenty, you finally woke up!"

Yin propped himself up and sat up, the heating in the room made his throat and nose feel uncomfortably dry and hot.

The little maid excitedly came over and Fu Yin leaned against the bed, "I thought I'd never see you again. I didn't expect that—by the way, it's called a blessing for those who survive a catastrophe!" A cup of lukewarm water is given.

Yin just gave a "hmm" and drank the water without saying anything, but God knows how much he wants to see his master at this moment.

"Master... Where's the master?"

"You mean Master? Oh, by the way, Master told me to watch you, and tell him immediately when you wake up." The little maid hurried out of the room after finishing speaking.

Yin pursed her lips, and grabbed the quilt with both hands nervously.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Yin's heartbeat became heavier and heavier, he hurriedly climbed out of bed and knelt on the ground, bowing his head and waiting for that person's arrival.

Qi Chou didn't expect to see such a scene after entering the door, so he couldn't help but reprimanded, "Get up for me."

Yin was frightened and trembled, hesitated for a while but still didn't get up, "Master..."

Seeing Yin's trembling, Qi Xi realized that his tone was habitually harsh, so he asked in a slow tone, "...Are you blaming me?"

Yin quickly shook his head, "No subordinate."

Qi Lan bent down and gently held Yin's face, only then did he see Yin's slightly red eye sockets, and his heart softened instantly.

"Come on." Qi Xi smiled lightly and spread his hands, only to see the young man flustered at a loss.

"Hands." So he personally pulled Yin's hands and held them tightly, then gently pulled him up from the ground.

I faintly felt the warmth and softness that I had never felt before coming from the palm of my hand, and my heart throbbed uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but look up, wanting to confirm whether the corners of the man's eyes were showing tenderness, whether he had the same electric shock feeling as him at this time.

"I'm sorry for you."

Yin was taken aback, then shook his head, "No, this subordinate knows the master's difficulties."

Qi Qi remained silent, pushed the person onto the bed and lay down, "I'll take a look at the injury." He also sat on the edge of the bed, rolled up the trouser legs of the loose pajama pants Yin was wearing.

Yin tensed his whole body nervously, stuttering because of his shyness, "Subordinate...subordinate is already, there is no serious problem."

Qi Xi ignored it, and only kneaded carefully to check Yin's ankle, which had not completely subsided and was fixed with a protective device. In time, I will arrange some rehabilitation courses for you."

Yin just wanted to refute, but he heard Qi sympathetically say, "I don't want it to affect your skills, and I don't want you to leave the root of the disease."

Hearing this, Yin felt inexplicably warm in his heart, and silently nodded his head in agreement.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into a state of ambiguity and embarrassment. I didn't know how to speak, but Qi Xi seemed to be silent on purpose.

Yin just lay down like this, his eyes followed closely, allowing his master to look at his body at will.

After Qi Chou finally checked Yin carefully from head to toe, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Shang Yin's eyes full of friendship.

A corner of his heart trembled suddenly, Qi Xi couldn't bear it any longer and bent down, hugged the whole person in his arms, and hugged him tightly.

a long time.

"In the past few days, I've been blaming myself, why did I agree to send you away..." Qi Si buried her in Yin's shoulder, her voice muffled.

Yin's eye sockets instantly became moist and red.

"Fortunately, you appeared in front of me intact..."

Tears blurred his vision, but Yin's cheeks were pressed tightly against his tender ones.He didn't understand why he was crying, but the lacrimal glands were secreting tears uncontrollably.

Thinking of the past few days, I faintly feel that this moment is as unreal as a dream.The person he thought he would never see again is now very close at hand, speaking such untrue words to himself.

"I think," Qi Qi raised his head, "I can't leave you anymore."

Yin was completely stunned, as if this sentence resonated, the tears he had just stopped started to flow again.

He never thought, even at the moment when he finally fought with his life on the rooftop, he never dared to think that his humble feelings could be recognized or allowed.

During the years of wandering abroad, I saw a lot and heard a lot.

He believes in love in the world, but he dare not believe it lightly.

There is no desire or desire on the outside, but the desire is always on the inside.

only……

Could this love really belong to him so easily?

"What about you?"

"I, my subordinate..." Yin was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Qi Xie, and only lowered his eyelashes to look at his master's neck.

"Huh?" A normal particle of the tone was expressed a bit erotic by Qi Qing, Yin's face suddenly turned red.

“Subordinates… also, also—uh…”

Qi Lan couldn't help being delighted when he got the answer he wanted, he bent down* and kissed the lips of the person under him.

At first it was a light kiss, like a temptation.Yin writhed shyly and restlessly, but was firmly held by Qi Si under her body.

The tip of the tongue carefully traced the outline of Yin's lips, biting and tearing gently from time to time made Yin's mouth open unconsciously.Qi Si grinned as if he had succeeded, and took the opportunity to stick his tongue into Yin's mouth, Yin trembled in shock, but in exchange for a deep laughter from Qi Si's throat.

Yin blushed even more, simply closed his eyes, and let his master do whatever he wanted.

He felt the soft tongue belonging to his master carefully stirring in his mouth, gently licking his palate, but it caused a numbness deep in his body.

Of course, Qi Xi didn't miss the reaction of Yin's body, he further used his tongue to hook Yin's tongue, and kept licking and sucking, so that the saliva that Yin had no time to swallow flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Yin didn't know how long this kiss lasted, when Qi Xi let him go, he could only breathe heavily.

Qi Xi smiled and sat up, "First time?"

Yin Yin looked at the handsome face of his master with his eyes blindfolded, and nodded with a little slow reaction, "Yes..."

"Are you holding your breath to suffocate yourself?"

"..." Shaking his head.

"Subordinates—"

"I."

"Subordinates—"

"I."

"..."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

"Master, the master told you to go down for dinner."

☆、chapter32.Ⅵ

After dinner, Qi Zun called Qi Si into the study.

"Father."

Qi Zun raised his eyes to look at Qi Cian, not angry but mighty. "What did you do today?"

It's been a long time since there was such an interrogation-like accountability, which made Qi Si feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to slacken his body to answer one by one.

"Yi, how is he?"

Qi Lan looked up at his father, wondering why his father paid so much attention to Yin. "Already awake, nothing serious."

Qi Zun nodded, "I made an exception this morning and let you out of the ancestral hall, you can go back and continue kneeling in a while."

Hearing this, Rao who was standing by the side couldn't help but look at his master, "Master, the young master is quite tired today, and his body has not recovered from his injuries before. The weather is damp and cold, and the ancestral hall is even worse. If—"

"That's enough." Qi Zun was indifferent as if he hadn't heard it, and he took out a few thick volumes from a pile of folders, "It's boring to think that you are kneeling, read it together, and give me an answer tomorrow morning .”

Qi Xie knew that his father hated others to intercede for him the most. He was like this when he was a child, and it has not changed since then.

"Yes, father."

"Go."

Qi Xi hesitated a little, he had too many doubts in his heart, and his intuition told him that only Qi Zun could solve his doubts.

"Father, Qi Lan has a few questions."

Qi Zun raised his head and said after a while, "Say."

"Qi Lan changed Yin's name when he first arrived, how did the king know about it, and why did he name Yin as a hostage?"

Qi Xie was sweating coldly while talking on his back, so that at the end of the question, his tone was more like asking and answering himself.Something is breaking out in his mind...

Qi Zun took a deep look at Qi Xie, "Continue."

Qi Chou trembled unconsciously, he seemed to have suddenly lost the courage to ask questions and even get answers.

"The king said before he died...he failed to see us as he wished, father and son killed each other, brothers...killed each other..."

Rao looked at Qi Zun worriedly, but the latter remained indifferent, and even continued to read the document after listening, "I'm done asking? Then go to the ancestral hall and kneel down."

Because of Qi Xie's order, Yin drank porridge and had dinner on the bed and did not dare to get out of bed. After waiting for a long time, he did not hear anyone coming upstairs, so he dozed off in a daze.

Probably because I was too tired in the past few days, the worries in my heart were relieved, and the worries in my heart were relieved, so I relaxed and fell asleep after a while.

So it wasn't until Qi Zun pushed the door open that Yin suddenly woke up from sleep.And Qi Zun's unfamiliar face made him be on high alert.

But... He frowned faintly, this person... He had seen him in "Chatter Domain" before.

and……

"Don't remember me?" Seeing Yin's frightened behavior, Qi Zun felt helpless and heartbroken.Once upon a time, Yin was a child who could call Dad.But now, because of a little noise, he would wake up from his sleep and put on a defensive posture. One can imagine how he has lived these years.

Yin's lips moved slightly but he didn't make a sound. He slowly got up from the bed, then knelt down on one knee on the ground, "This subordinate has seen the domain master."

Qi Zun was stunned, looking at Yin who was kneeling on the ground with impeccable posture, suddenly he didn't know how to speak the words he had planned.

"Get up. How's the injury?"

Yin didn't look up, and stood up, "Your subordinate is fine, thank you Yuzhu for your concern."

Qi Zun was silent for a while, and finally asked, "You entered the 'Diary Field' at the age of 13, do you remember what happened before?"

Yin was shocked, he mentioned this matter at this time, could it be...

"Returning to the domain master, the subordinates can clearly remember everything after the age of 8."

Qi Zun's eyes were heavy, but he couldn't hide the anxiety and anticipation inside, "Before you were 8 years old, you really don't remember at all?"

He lowered his head and closed his eyes.

At that time, at first, he was always panicked by the loss of blank memory in his mind, so that he was in a state of nervousness all day and night, trying to find the answer.

But what is frightening is not everything that is strange, but the strange self.

So doubt.Doubt your own existence, doubt your own belonging... Doubt everything, even charity, even sympathy...

That's how you grow up and start to understand.

After that I don't want answers anymore.Because, "finding the answer" itself is just a process of constant doubt and then constant negation, persistence, but suffering, suffering is pain.

But now... After he thought of everything, he realized that he was not ready to meet the original self, to face everything that belonged to him that he knew nothing about.

but--

"..." Yin was silent for a long time, but finally he spoke, "No. Before I was 8 years old, I vaguely remember it."

——He wanted to save himself, and also to redeem others.

After Qi Zun heard this, he grabbed Yin's shoulders almost instantly, his eyes seemed to pierce people with burning temperature, "Really? Remember what?"

Yin fluttered his eyelashes, he was inexplicably nervous in the face of such an eager Qi Zun, so he only dared to stare at the carpet with intricate patterns on the ground, and his voice was a little low and soft because of timidity, "... remember my parents... grandpa and ,elder brother…"

These words were so unfamiliar that when Yin said them, he was accompanied by a suspicious tone of stammering each word, but such an uplifting tone brought a long-lost kindness to Qi Zun's ears.

Faintly feeling the slight trembling of the person in front of him, he looked up suspiciously, but heard Qi Zun continue to ask, "When did you remember?"

"...The king told his subordinates everything from the beginning, but the subordinates didn't fully remember it at the time."

Qi Zun frowned and listened.

"After falling down the stairs, it seemed to stimulate the brain, and then I remembered it."

Yin said calmly, but he knew that he would never forget the vicious curse and burning resentment on the king's ferocious face at that time.

At that moment, his mind was in chaos, only a thin vine was constantly entangled and entangled. He stretched out his hand and grabbed hope, and grabbed the fragments of memory that had been sealed by himself.

Qi Zun nodded knowingly, "If that's the case, then it's the best." He said and slowly loosened Yin's shoulders.

Hidden without speaking.

Qi Zun was silent for a while, then looked at Yin again, pulled him to the side of the bed and asked him to sit down, "Before your injury heals, you need to cultivate well. Your mother will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Yin sat down obediently and agreed.

Qi Zun felt helpless about the fact that he was hidden from him, otherwise he wouldn't call him the domain master knowing he was his father. "Xiao Yin, I know you feel bad, so I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope that you won't wrong yourself in the future."

Yin slowly raised his head, softly, "Yeah."

In fact, even if I remember the memories before the age of 8, they are just fragments and unclear pictures.It's just that familiarity, intimacy, and blood relationship that he couldn't help but want to get closer to, still made him a little joyful and nostalgic.

After Qi Zun left, Yin couldn't sleep again.What's interesting is that he thought he didn't care, but the excitement and hope hidden in his heart at this moment can't deceive anyone.

I just lay there with my eyes open and waited until 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. This is usually the time when I finished my work and went upstairs to sleep, but today there was unexpectedly no sound.

Could it be that there is too much work accumulated in the past few days and it has not been finished yet?

But being so sleepless... I was a little worried about Qixi's body, so I decided to wait a little longer.

Looking at the ceiling again, I waited for an hour until 1 o'clock in the middle of the night. Without any further hesitation, I wrapped my coat and left the room.

In the corridor on the second floor, there were only a few dimly lit wall lamps left, and the door of the room next door was tightly closed, with no light leaking through the cracks in the door.

Yin took advantage of the dim light downstairs and slowly walked down the stairs, but there was no one in the hall.

Could it be that he missed it, the master has already fallen asleep?

Yin frowned and walked towards the study, raised her hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.His heart suddenly flustered, he was eager to know where Qi Chen was at this time.

Turning around in frustration, he was startled by the figure standing behind him.

Yin immediately calmed down the disordered breath, but knew in his heart that those who can stand behind him without being noticed must have a cultivation base higher than his own.

"Looking for the master?" the figure standing in the dark asked, his voice seemed approachable with a smile.

Yin looked at him, shook his head, and didn't speak.

"Then you are looking for the young master?" The figure continued to ask, and after speaking, he came out from the dark place.

"you are?"

"Me?" Rao smirked, "I am the lover of your brother's father's wife's bodyguard! I am also your brother's second uncle's master's senior brother! Just call me Uncle Rao."

Yin is so quick-witted, a face that has been twisted suddenly flashed in his heart, and he understood it.Bowing slightly, "Uncle Rao."

This was a bit unexpected for Rang Rao, he has a lot of playfulness, and he loves to play with others the most in his life. Originally, he wanted to see the little doll make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect Yin Yin to fail to make him do so.

"I thought you could be so interesting, but I didn't expect that you are as boring as your brother."

"Where is the master?"

Rao raised his eyebrows, "Why do you care about him so much? Could it be—"

Yin frowned and interrupted, "This subordinate only cares about his master, please stop teasing me, Uncle Rao."

Over the years in the "Diary", there is no one who secretly pays more attention to Yin than Rao.Caring for him is like caring for one's own child, even worse than Qi Zun.Now that I finally heard "Uncle Rao", the joy in my heart is self-evident.

So he wasn't annoyed at Yin's interruption, instead he smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle will lead you right away!"

Yinzi was not afraid to deceive him, and silently followed him towards the opposite side of the precept hall, which was a forbidden place he had never set foot in.

The further you go in, the more deserted and chilly the surrounding environment becomes, and the panic in your heart gradually magnifies.But, why is the master in such a place?

"Excuse me..." Yin's voice echoed in the empty and dark corridor.

Rao stopped in his tracks, "The master originally forbade the young master to step out of the ancestral hall these few days, why do you think the young master appeared on Linglan Island this morning?"

Yin's heart tightened, "What's the matter, master?"

Rao said again, "I feel uncomfortable when you call the young master like that. When will this change?"

Yin was angry and anxious, so he simply stopped talking and walked in by himself.

Rao smiled and quickly grabbed Yin, "Young master was fined 50 canes by the master on the first day you were taken away, and you haven't taken care of it until now. Originally, according to the family law, the master of the family will be punished for dereliction of duty, but The master felt pity, and only punished the young master to kneel in the ancestral hall for 3 days."

Hearing this, Yin felt uncomfortable, and just wanted to go to Qi Si's side as soon as possible.

"Then, how is the master allowed..."

"It's not that the young master begged hard. He knelt at the door of the study for a whole day and night without eating, drinking or sleeping. The master really couldn't bear it, so—"

So, did the master do so much for himself?

What about myself, what did I do for him?

It seems that there is nothing...

Standing in front of the door of the ancestral hall, her palms were pressed against the cold door, her face was as calm as water, but the guilt in her heart was about to overflow...

☆、chapter33.Ⅶ

The brightly lit interior of the ancestral hall is in stark contrast to the darkness in the corridor.Qi Xiduan knelt on the futon, but his posture was so upright that he didn't seem to be kneeling at all.

But in fact, ever since he finished talking with his father and came to the ancestral hall, Qi Chou couldn't concentrate on the documents in front of him at all.

After all, it's about Qiyin.It's what he's worried about for 11 years.

He clenched and loosened the signature pen in his hand, and Qi Si replayed the scene of Zi Yin's first appearance in Qi's house over and over again in his mind.

Being made things difficult for him, harshly criticized, even being forced to change his name... There is not even the slightest bit of complaint or disobedience.Assuming that Yin knew the truth from beginning to end, could it be that he was the only one kept in the dark?

……impossible.Absolutely impossible.How could the father let his son live in "Diyu" for so many years and become his "puppet"?Father loves Xiaoyin so much... He must be reluctant to let him suffer, it must be impossible.

Besides, how could Yin hide so well, and what kind of mentality was he hiding in, that even he couldn't find any clues?

All of this made Qi Xi feel absurd no matter what, but he always thought of what the king said, as well as all the weird and loopholed doubts.

Qi Xi couldn't sort out his thoughts no matter what, and he simply told himself not to think about it anymore, maybe everything was not as complicated as he thought.

When he finally unloaded the documents anxiously and wanted to concentrate on the front of the futon, there was a sound outside the door.

As Yin approached step by step, the uneasiness in his heart became bigger and bigger.The chaotic thoughts made it impossible for him to calm down and think about how to face Qi Si and how to confide the truth to him.

And just this afternoon, I did that kind of thing with my brother's master... Yin shook his head vigorously, but the warmth of that lip print seemed to have not faded away.

What have you done?

Why would you let him kiss you when you knew that the person in front of you was your brother?Why not stop him from saying those words or push him away?Why didn't he tell him the truth quickly instead of losing his mind because of that kiss?

The master is the elder brother, the elder brother who cared for him in the palm of his memory.

What did he do?

Immediately, a strong sense of guilt and guilt arose in Yin's heart.

"Who?"

At this moment, Qi Xi suddenly made a sound, bit his lip secretly and walked over.

"Master, it's—"

"What are you doing here?" Yin's already suspended heart shrank violently at this unemotional question.

He looked up at Qi Lan's back, and his determination seemed to be a thousand miles away from others.Yin didn't dare to approach, so he had to stand a few steps behind Qi Lan, at a loss for what to do.

"..." He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. He was always dumb and was never good at communicating with people, let alone in front of Qixi now.

"Leave without saying anything." Qi Chou closed his eyes with his back to Yin, and his voice was unusually indifferent.

"No," Yin was a little anxious, he was beginning to be sure that the master already knew about his deception.He knelt down on the spot and walked to Qi Si's side, "Master, please listen to this subordinate's explanation——"

Before Yin finished speaking, Qi Xi suddenly seemed to be angry, and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."

Yin was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what Qixi meant, so he didn't have time to move.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I said stand up!" Qi Lan's voice increased in vain, without hiding the anger in it, causing the entire ancestral hall to echo.

"But—" Master is still kneeling, how can he get up, besides, he is still a scapegoat...

With a sound of "Pa!", Yin only had time to see a flash before his eyes, and there was a sharp pain on his face.

Qi Xie got up, still tightly clutching the folder he had just typed in his hand.

The place on Yin's face where the file folder had been drawn quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a long, swollen ridge formed.

"Why, my words don't work anymore?"

Yin shook his head desperately, stood up unsteadily, "No, no, master..."

"Don't call me master!" Qi Chou roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Yin knelt down again, raised his head to look at Qianqian in a panic, "No, don't... why, master, you are Yin's master..." If only such identities can make the two of them together, then he will never He hesitantly chooses to let Qi Chou be his master for the rest of his life.

But... Qi Zun and his openness tonight showed that the truth of this matter will soon be revealed in front of everyone, including Qi Chou of course.

He is destined not to be able to call him master anymore, but...he really doesn't want to and is not willing to give up like this...

"Why are you doing this?" Qi Xi threw away the folder in his hand, raised his head and stroked Yin's hair, "Since you call yourself Yin, you are Yin. From now on, you are just my younger brother , Qi Yin."

Yin's eyes were red, he really wanted to grab the corner of Qi Qi's clothes and tell him that he didn't care whether he was his younger brother or not, he just hoped to go back to the past and call him his master while he was still his subordinate.

But no way.

Because they are brothers.

One is called Qi Chou and the other is called Qi Yin.

"So, don't kneel to me anymore, and don't call me your master, Xiaoyin." Qi Xi's voice was so indifferent that nothing but exhaustion remained, but God knows that he didn't think so at all in his heart.

He likes Xiaoyin, and he has liked it since he was a child.No matter how good or bad he is, he just wants to present all the best things in the world to him.Give him the world, including all his love.

But later, love became a knot that could not be let go, a burden.

After 11 years, he still bears this burden and refuses to forget it.

Even if there is no villain in his life anymore, it will still appear in his dreams and in his yearning.

Never willing to forget, not willing to forget.

Until, he met someone who could replace him.

Isn't this fate?

If this is not predestined, then why did fate make me fall in love with this person who shouldn't love again without knowing it.

I couldn't remember how I got back to the room, I just stared at the pale ceiling, and the sky dawned before I knew it.

I vaguely know in my heart that from today on, something has changed.

This kind of change, whether it is Qi Xie or himself, can only be watched but helpless.

Smiling faintly, he got up and went into the bathroom.

The water rushes over my body, but I don't feel warm, instead I think of a past event in my heart.

That time, I couldn't regain my sanity due to the shadow of the electric shock. My master... no, it was my brother who woke me up with cold water and was severely punished... But why do I miss it so much when I think about it now?

Miss the pain, miss being restrained, miss being able to listen to my story.

Caressing the red and swollen cheeks on his face that had been bruised... He really, really didn't want to be a secret at all.His name is Twenty, this is the name given by the master, and he is willing to be called this name for the rest of his life... He doesn't want to be a hermit.

When Dai Yin finally came out of the bathroom, Rao had been waiting in the room for a long time.

Yin moved to open the bathroom door stiffly and numbly, and he didn't look surprised at all when he saw Rao, he just asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

"The madam is here, and the master wants you to go downstairs." Rao could hear Yin's tired and hoarse voice, and the lifeless tone made him feel distressed.

Yin nodded and said nothing, walked to the bedside and began to change clothes by himself.

Rao looked at the mottled scars all over his body, but he unconsciously thought of another poor child, Qixie.

"Do you know how your brother lived these years?"

Trembling, the out-of-focus eyes slowly focus, looking at Rao.

"He has been looking for you, and he has always believed that you are still alive."

Rao's voice grew louder in vain, he turned around and touched Yin's shoulders and said, "He never forgot about you for a single second, and he never thought of giving up searching for a single moment. He regretted and blamed himself every second .He thinks he lost you and killed you! He even thinks he killed his grandpa!"

Yin looked at Rao in shock, and when he listened, his wide eyes began to shed tears.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized how selfish he was, so selfish that he acquiesced that he was the only one suffering in the past years, so selfish that he felt how pitiful he was deprived of the right to love, so selfish that he thought that the efforts of two people were rewarded. He is equal, so selfish that he longs for Qi Qi to listen to and share his pain, but he has never entered Qi Qi's world to understand it, let alone shoulder it for him.

It turned out that it was not equal from the beginning.

You have paid so much for me, but I am still asking for...

"So," Rao's expression turned sharp, "Do you think you are the only one who is sad? I said that you are not even qualified to cry like this!"

Yin's legs softened and he slumped on the ground, "It's... I don't deserve to fall in love with him at all..."

Yin's reaction made Rao stunned. He was just worried that Yin would suffocate himself if he was too depressed, and wanted to stimulate him so that he could yell out to express his emotions, but unexpectedly, Yin really gave up on himself.

Rao looked at Yin, and felt that he looked like a soulless, empty, dead puppet except that he was crying wantonly. He suddenly realized that perhaps, the relationship between the two had already exceeded his expectations. The point of living by love.

Weeping silently, the room returned to calm.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk" the door was knocked at the right time.

Rao glanced at Yin who was sitting on the ground, and turned to open the door.

"Master, madam."

Ji Jinyi wanted to see her son, so she didn't have the heart to say hello to him, and the woman finally walked to Yin's side with a feeling of helplessness that no one else had seen before.

"...Xiao Yin," Ji Jinyi felt indescribably nervous, afraid of seeing the strangeness and blame towards her in her son's eyes, "Do you still remember Mom?"

Yin raised his tear-stained face, and saw a kind face that once existed deep in his memory. He stared at it for a long time, then nodded silently.

The woman almost wept with joy, bent down to lift Yin up from the ground, just as her hand touched Yin's arm, Yin trembled subconsciously, and then wobbled to support the wall and stood up by herself.

"I'm sorry," he wiped away his tears with the back of his hand, and smiled comfortingly at the woman, "I made you worry."

"I thought, I thought never—"

"I'm tired, Mom." The woman's words were interrupted in a hidden tone with aloof apology.

Qi Zun watched by the door, and only frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything after all.

Ji Jinyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled with red eyes, "It's okay, it's okay, if you're tired, just rest first. Mom will come to see you later." After speaking, she exited the hidden room in a panic.

Rao followed Qi Zun and Ji Jinyi downstairs together, and as soon as they entered the study, Qi Zun slapped the table hard, and Rao knelt down in front of the table without haste.Presumably, the two of them had already heard what they should have heard outside the hidden room door.

"Now you have also learned to play tricks with me?"

"If you know your mistake, I will go to the precept hall to receive the punishment in a while."

Ji Jinyi was sitting absent-mindedly at the side. Rao knelt and turned around to face Ji Jinyi after speaking, and said, "Ma'am, don't be sad, the young master is all to blame for his slip of the tongue before. This subordinate thought, Since the young master recognizes you, he has you in his heart."

As a mother, Ji Jinyi completely lost the aura of the head of the clan in the past. Hearing this, her eyes brightened a little.She nodded, and glanced at Rao who was kneeling in front of her, "I understand what you're thinking, and it's hard for me to take a lot of pains for you."

Qi Zun looked at his lover helplessly, stretched out his hand and waved him away, then got up and walked to sit next to Ji Jinyi, "After a few days, when Xiaoyin recovers from her injuries, we will pick a date for the press conference. Xiaoyin I have all my resume ready."

Ji Jinyi responded, and looked at Qi Zun, "I'm still terrified even now, do you know that at that time, if Xiaoyin hadn't dodged that shot... I, I would have killed my child with my own hands?"

Qi Zun held the woman's cold and trembling hand, "Now is not a good time, so don't think about the past."

Ji Jinyi was silent for a while, "It's just...is this really an evil fate?"

The author has something to say: It seems that the writing is broken.Sorry for those who are waiting for filming or abuse, these chapters are too clear......

Human feelings are too difficult to describe...

☆、chapter34.Ⅷ

When Rao came out of the precept hall after receiving his punishment, Qu had already been waiting at the door for a long time.

Rao didn't know it, he just walked out while wearing his coat, and when he saw the people standing in the corridor, he wanted to turn around and walk back.

Qu San walked up to Rao in two steps, lifted his foot and kicked his calf, Rao deliberately said "Ouch" loudly, then bent down pretending to be in extreme pain.

Qu Zi knew the strength he was using, but it was only when he thought of his senior brother that he was hurt.
