the shadow

However, Qi Guanling had very high demands on Yin, but compared to his master and uncle, he was really worried that Yin would suffer in their hands.

"How long has it been since you haven't trained, and you've forgotten what to do?" Qi Guanling thoughtfully took him to the independent indoor training hall next to the villa, and didn't let anyone do training in the sun and the sun.

Facing the training, the two were always serious, Qi Guanling quickly changed from the status of "second uncle" to the status of "instructor", Yin also quickly entered the state, bowed his head and apologized, and then began to do warm-up exercises to relax his body.

Before the age of 8, Yin only learned some basic skills at home. It was not until he became a mercenary that he began to learn mixed martial arts by himself under the influence of the environment, and gained a lot of practical experience.But to say that the real systematic practice began when he entered the "chatter field" after he was 13 years old.

The age of Yin Yin entered "Diayu" was many years later than other students. Fortunately, he has a good foundation in kung fu and physical fitness superior to his peers. Otherwise, if he started practicing at the age of 13, he would have to eat a lot suffering.

After stretching and mobilizing the joints, there was a 1000-meter run at a constant speed to warm up. Since it was the first day of recovery training, Qi Guanling only planned to let Yin do some flexibility exercises and core strength training.

"Lie down." Qi Guanling pointed to the wall, signaling Yin to lie down on the ground against the wall.

In the flexibility training class of "Diayu", as soon as the instructor says the word "lay", the students will all lie down on the ground and wait for the "sentence". The instructor only needs to step on them one by one, or they will cry Those who yell have to stay and be punished and practice more.This is a compulsory course before practicing fighting skills, because a flexible and stretchable body is too important, and it can often increase the possibility of winning a fierce battle.

After being abandoned for more than a month, Yin didn't really worry that he had regressed too much, but he followed Qi Guanling's instructions without hesitation, and then he gritted his teeth and waited for the pain to strike.

Ji Linxuan didn't have to do such a hassle when she was with Qixi, she just had to sit and watch, and occasionally move her lips.

For example, now that Qi Lan has finished his usual morning physical training, Ji Linxu guessed that Qi Guanling's side was not over yet, so he ordered Qi Lan to do one-leg balance standing to pass the time.

Ji Linxuan Tune|The methods of teaching people are always strange. The easiest way to train people's balance ability is to stand on one leg blindly, but Ji Linxuan refuses to let Qixi follow the textbook. He felt that the independent posture of the golden rooster was too unsightly, so every time he asked Qi Chou to do the swallow balance, which is smooth and beautiful but more difficult gymnastics instead.

Blind standing is for ordinary people, even if they stand on both legs, they can only stand on their legs for a moment before they have to stagger, let alone Ji Linxuan's standard requirements, the premise is that strong back muscles are needed to control the rear legs at a large angle, The second is the abnormal balance force.

Ji Linxuan thoughtfully did not ask Qi Lin to use the leg he had injured when he was a teenager as the main leg, and Qi Lin was also very fortunate that there was no balance beam here, otherwise he would not doubt it at all. With such a temperament, he will definitely let him stand up and have a try.

Although Qi Xie was strong, he was a human being and not a god after all, so Ji Linxuan didn't blame him when he fell over because of his unsteady standing, but just beckoned for someone to come over.

Qi Lan walked over and called "Master" and saw Ji Linxuan pointing to the chair beside him to sit down.

"What happened last night, didn't you sleep well?"

Qi Xi was taken aback, a little surprised.

Ji Lin smiled, "I've watched you grow up, but I still don't know you?" After a pause, he continued, "I won't question, let alone interfere with your decision, because I know you're not acting like a bully. What's more, my stop is useless in the face of your determination."

Qi Chou sat and listened quietly.

"In the past, I always blamed you because I was afraid that you would be too indulged in sadness and guilt. Now that Xiaoyin is back, I don't care what you want to do with him. I just want to remind you not to take debt as a feeling. do you know?"

"I see."

"The last sentence is for you, the authorities will be confused by the bystanders."

He frowned his beautiful eyebrows, "What does uncle mean by this sentence?"

While pinching his brother's leg, Qi Xie said, "There is a possibility that uncle wants to tell us that people with a discerning eye have already seen what we have been struggling to cover up. That is to say, the matter between us..."

The meaning of Qi Can's words is obvious, no matter how dull Yin is, he can understand it, and he is so shocked that he can't speak.

Qi Xi patted the boy's upturned buttocks with a funny face, "Think about it too, how could our actions escape their eyes."

The small face was wrinkled, and the young man still looked worried, "...Brother, do you think that uncle agrees with us? What about the parents..."

"Don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"By the way, how about resuming training today, can you still keep up?"

Yin bit his lower lip, "Hmm..."

Qi Xie raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

The child pinched the corner of his clothes, "...Second Uncle doesn't seem to be satisfied, and asked me to go to him to receive the punishment after dinner..."

☆、chapter49.XXⅢ

When Qi Guanling entered the room, the first thing he saw was Yin's straight kneeling posture, just like before.Thinking back to those years when Yin was still in the "Diayu", it seems that something has changed, and nothing seems to have changed.

Walking in front of the young man, before Qi Guanling could say anything, Yin bowed down respectfully and respectfully to ask for punishment, "I'm lazy and slack to the point of neglecting my skills, I know I'm wrong, please punish me."

Qi Guanling didn't speak or move, Yin kept his posture and didn't dare to move rashly.

In Yin's memory, Qi Guanling was a very forthright and direct person, if he wanted to punish him, there would be no complicated and cumbersome other steps. It's too late.Yin is his most important student, and also the one he manages the most in the "Chatter Domain", so Yin is especially aware of Qi Guanling's rules and habits when punishing others.But after kneeling for a few minutes now, Qi Guanling still didn't give any instructions, which made Yin feel a little surprised.

"Okay, get up."

Finally, when Yin Yin was about to count to 800 seconds, Qi Guanling gave an order.

In response, he stood up neatly in a military posture, but his head was still slightly lowered to show respect and docility.

Qi Guanling looked around, and remembered that he didn't have any punishment tools at hand when he was away from home, so he took the data cable of the mobile phone from the bedside table and folded it in half, and held the end of the interface in his hand.

"Take off your shirt. Stand in a forward-bending position with your hands on your sides, palms on the ground."

Immortal quickly took off the T-shirt on his upper body and put himself in a good posture, but his whole body was sore from the training in the morning. At this time, he was a little struggling, and his palms could barely stick to the ground.

"30 strokes, the back of the whip. The old rule, every time you shake it, add 5 strokes, and every time your palm leaves the ground, add 10 strokes." Qi Guanling and Ji Linxuan are different. They don't have high requirements for the posture during punishment. Just because the posture of being punished is not good, the punishment is doubled as soon as it comes up.

Yin restrained his nasal voice and replied, "Yes, please punish."

Qi Guanling raised the data cable folded in half in his hand, with half the force, only heard a "swoosh" in the air, and the data cable slammed onto Yin's back which still had a faint scar.

Different from the heavy feel of the whip, the data cable is made of plastic wrapped copper wire, which is very light and flexible. When it is pulled on the skin, the sharp pain is limited to the surface, and it will never hurt the inside.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" The three consecutive strokes were not muddled.

Yin Yin's body, which he had tried to relax before, instinctively tensed up due to the stimulation of pain, and the muscle lines of his upper body swelled up like a leopard ready to go, but Qi Guanling could vaguely see his expression, which was still as peaceful as usual, as if at this moment The body being whipped was not his usual insensitivity.

The pain gradually piled up, and Yin's back was covered by several bright red ridges after 10 strokes, but the boy was still as firm as a rock without shaking at all.

After all, compared with all the punishments Yin had received before, it seemed too easy. Although it was painful, it was not the kind that could not be endured.And it was just a whip, without deliberate humiliation, which made the proud young man feel a lot better.

What's more, Qi Guanling's strength has obviously let go, unlike in the past that used absolute pain to impress wrong punishments, this time's admonition is more like persuasion and vigilance, so that the punished will suffer willingly.

"-Pop!" "-Pop!" ... The whipping is almost two seconds, which is very old-fashioned and rhythmic play.

Slowly, Qi Guanling's strike point began to shift upwards, and the fair skin on Yin's back was soon covered with red and swollen ribs.In order to prevent the body from shaking, Yin endured the sore ligaments caused by the morning training and tensed the muscles of his legs, and let his hands support the ground even harder.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"...

In the end, Shi Shi slammed his back mercilessly, Yin could feel that Qi Guanling had obviously increased his strength, he was caught off guard so that Yin gritted his teeth to hold back the pain in his throat.The teenager realized belatedly that the power of the data cable to hit people is comparable to that of the rattan.

After the whole admonishment, the two of them didn't have a word of dialogue. This was a habit Qi Guanling had developed under Ji Linxuan's whip for many years, so it was naturally used on Yin.

After 30 minutes, Yin stood up and saluted Qi Guanling, "Thank you for the punishment, Second Uncle."

Qi Guanling seemed to deliberately make things difficult for Yin, and said with a cold face, "Did I make you stand up?"

Yin's reaction was extremely quick, and she immediately wanted to bend down again, but she heard Qi Guanling say, "Kneel down."

The young man knelt down neither humble nor overbearing, in a standard to impeccable kneeling posture.

Qi Guanling stood by the window, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in, "Do you know why, even though you are the most capable in all aspects among the students, I only rank you second in the Xiezhi list every time in the assessment? "

Yin didn't expect Qi Guanling to mention this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly answered, "It's because Yin isn't good enough."

When Qi Guanling heard the expected answer, he shook his head, "People who can't see their own flaws won't make progress, and the reason why you are not allowed to be the first is to let you see your own shortcomings and gain something every time." It’s not always standing still.”

The young man listened carefully, humble and obedient, just like he used to listen to the teachings in "Di Yu".

"I don't have any reason here. Today's punishment is not for anything else, but to reassure you. Today is different from the past, and people will always be lazy. Remember, what is your identity and what you do, now your second young master and Yu Being the Lord is not as easy as it was when you were in the camp. If you had worked hard before, you will only work a hundred times harder in the future."

Qi Guanling seldom reasoned with Yin in the past because Yin has always had a clear mind since he was a child, and he is more mature and sensible than his peers. Many things can be understood without repeating them.

But this time, Yin Neng could clearly feel the earnest warning from Qi Guan Ling as an elder, which gave Yin Mo Ming a strong sense of responsibility.

"Yes, I will always remember my second uncle's teaching."

It was only then that Qi Guanling slowly relaxed his serious expression, raised his hand to rub Yin's head, and said softly, "Get up."

Looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same height as himself, Qi Guanling couldn't help but feel a little dazed, from 13 to 19 years old, the time of six or seven years is really like a flick of a finger.

Bending down to pick up the clothes on the ground for the young man himself, Qi Guanling's tone was like a big brother who was 8 years older than Yin with caring, "Also, pay attention to your body. Don't use too much force for your own training. , it’s best to let him accompany you.”

Yin seemed to be caught in the little calculation in his heart, and pursed his lips in embarrassment, "...Yes, Xiaoyin knows."

After coming out of Qi Guanling's room, Yin did not return to Qi Si's side, but went down the mountain and walked to the seaside.

Many times, such as this moment, Yin prefers to be alone.

You don't need to think about it, if you go back now, you will definitely be dragged by Qi Xie to strip your clothes up and down to check the injury, and then give yourself medicine because of such a small injury. Maybe you will ask yourself to lie on the bed to recuperate because of such a small injury a few days.

Yin cherishes such warmth very much, but habits are hard to change.After being with Qi Si, Yin, who was always alone, began to learn how to accept and try to respond to the feelings others gave her.Not only from Qi Chou, but also from parents who are always thinking about themselves, and two uncles who seem to be difficult to get along with.

Thinking of this, the corners of the boy's mouth raised slightly unconsciously.

The seaside is like a lively playground at this time. Jing Ran originally took Xia Yu to watch the sunset on the beach, but was so annoyed by Rao who came out for a walk to digest his food, his face flushed and he shouted, "Who, who is falling in love?" Hey! You said that my relationship with Xia Yu is improper, okay, then the relationship between you and the gentleman beside you is legitimate?" He said while pointing to Qu next to Rao.

Rao is excited now, Jing Ran dares to talk about his song when he says that anyone is not good, and he doesn't care about Sanqi 21 and scolds people at the moment, he can't help kicking the song beside him. "How old are you old man, and you are still arguing with a child, are you childish?"

Rao was kicked and stopped, looking at Qu, "Didn't you hear that? How dare this bastard say that we have an improper relationship, let's see if I don't beat him until his ass blossoms——"

Qu rolled his eyes, restraining his urge to kick someone, "It's not that you provoked him first without being serious!"

"But the relationship between the two of them is unfair. You can ask Xia why did Xia Yu agree to his pursuit? But we are different. How can it be unfair if you love me?"

Old Qu blushed, raised his leg and kicked, "I'm willing to be with you!" After saying that, he turned his head and left.

Yin walked towards the seashore, saw Qu approaching from a distance, and obediently took the initiative to say hello, "Uncle Qu."

Qu Yi stopped in his tracks, "Young Master, why aren't you with Eldest Young Master?"

The young man smiled shyly, "Uncle Qu can just call me Xiaoyin. I'm going out for a walk, not with brother."

Qu nodded and looked back at the seaside, then pulled Yin and walked towards the house.Yin obediently followed, but unexpectedly Qu led him to Ji Jinyi's tea room.

"mom."

After the boy was allowed to enter the door, he bowed and saluted very politely, but the woman seemed very flattered, she quickly got up and pulled Yin to sit beside her.

"Miss." Qu came in after being invisible, and after saluting, he consciously stood behind Ji Jinyi with the expression "I still know how to come back".

Yin was a little surprised at her mother's infinite indulgence to her subordinates, but she just watched her eyes and said nothing.

"Have you had fun these few days?" The woman was elegant and gentle, and such a question gave Hidden an illusion of overlapping with her childhood.

"Well, happy." The boy nodded from the bottom of his heart and said with a smile.

The woman couldn't help but raised her hand to rub Yin's hair, and Yin also leaned her body over naturally, which made Ji Jinyi feel at ease while being moved.

After a long time, the woman sighed, "...as long as you are happy."

At this time, Qi Xi, who went to Qi Guanling's room to find someone, could be said to be full of anger, coupled with anxiety and irritability, it made his already fierce face look very scary.So when Qi Guanling opened the door, even though he was mentally prepared, he was taken aback, after all, Qi Si had never shown such emotions before.

"Where's Xiao Yin? What did you do to him?"

Qi Lan was really worried, rushed into the door and searched inside and outside, but didn't even see a shadow.

Qi Guanling was stunned for a moment at first, but then he immediately realized that it must be that Xiao Yin didn't go back after being punished, driving this younger brother crazy.

Sighing, Qi Guanling felt helpless, "Xiao Yin went back half an hour ago."

Qi Xi was stunned for a moment and became more anxious, "You must have hurt him too badly, so Xiao Yin didn't dare to come back to see me!" Then he turned his head and went out to continue searching.

Qi Guanling looked at Qi Lan's hurried back, and sighed leisurely again, how did he never know that Qi Lan had such a big brain?

The author has something to say: the style of writing has changed again as I write.Spread your hands.

☆、chapter50.XXIV

When Qi Xi found Yin, Yin was drinking tea with Ji Jinyi and talking happily, suppressing the anger in his heart, Qi Xi saluted Ji Jinyi and called his mother, then straightened up and said to the young man in a voice that was as cold as ice, " Go back to your room, immediately."

Ji Jinyi has always believed that she has given her two sons fair love and will not favor one of them, but now seeing the elder son yelling at the younger son like this, he moves faster than he thinks, and pulls Yin to his side to protect him, "Sister, what are you doing?" Violent to your younger brother, can't you speak properly if you have something to say?"

Qi Xi restrained his emotions and didn't look at Yin aside. Facing Ji Jinyi, his tone eased, "Mother, you are worrying too much. It was Xiao Yin who was punished by his second uncle just now. Xi'er just asked him to go back and take the medicine."

The woman's pretty brows frowned. She had sat beside Yin for so long, and she didn't notice any signs of injury at all, but Qi Xi never would and didn't need to lie to her... Forget it, it's only right and proper for elder brother to take care of younger brother. I will not interfere.

"If that's the case, Xiao Yin, you can go back to the room with your brother and get some medicine. Mom will come to see you later."

Yin nodded, and obediently walked to Qi Xi's side, but he didn't dare to look up at his brother, and stared at his toes helplessly.

On the way back to the room, Yin only felt that the top of his head was covered by dark clouds, and the air pressure was extremely low.Qi Lan walked in front, and he followed closely, like a student who made a mistake who was about to be taken to the class teacher's office to give a lecture.

After entering the room of the two of them, Yin had just closed the door, and when he turned around, he was dragged directly in front of him by Qi Xie.

"Don't move." There was almost no gentle command tone left, and Yin obeyed subconsciously.

Qi Xi didn't know how hurt he was, so he didn't dare to take off Yin's clothes casually, took out the scissors, and after a few cuts under the slight shaking of the young man's body, he dismantled Yin's whole body of clothes, and scattered them on the ground.

The young man felt the tip of the knife quickly across the surface of the skin, the sense of threat brought by the sharp object and the sense of shame brought about by the body being slowly peeled off from the fig leaf, which made the young man's hair stand up faintly.

Yin's whole body didn't have as tragic scars as Qi Can imagined, only a few red and swollen ribs on the back showed that the owner of this body had indeed been punished before.

Qi Xi let out a sigh of relief from an invisible angle, restraining his desire to touch the red ridge on his back, and pointed to the wall, "Go over."

Yin walked over obediently, paused, then turned around consciously, and stood facing inside.

Qi Chou stood behind Yin Yin's left, and violently raised the boy's arms, folded them, stretched them to the top of his head and fixed them on the wall, and the boy's upper body was also pressed against the wall.Qi Chou suppressed the boy's slightly slender wrists with one hand, and swung the other hand to cover the boy's buttocks.

Ordinary people can slap with all their strength and it will hurt for a while, not to mention the strength of Qi Qi's slap that can break a brick, which made Yin, who was still pain-resistant, couldn't help but hum.

"Yes...I'm sorry..." The boy hastily apologized for being punished.

Qi Xi kept silent with a cold face, his slaps continued to be swung up and down hard, the young man only felt that his trembling buttocks were like a deflated ball that was gradually deforming.

The crisp slaps hardly stopped, and the juvenile's white and tender buttocks were quickly stained with an even layer of bright red.

This kind of slap on the buttocks made Yin feel very strange, the "pop" sound was like exploding in the ear and in the atrium, which made his self-esteem shrank to a corner, and his body unconsciously wanted to curl up.

it hurts...it hurts...

The boy bit his lips tightly at an invisible angle to keep himself from crying out in pain.

Qi Chou has always been rational, and hardly punishes people when his emotions are out of control. He is good at using a little reminder to warn people of their mistakes and then remembering them with punishment, but he does not regard punishment as the most important part of admonishment, let alone pain Hurt people as a means of calming down.

But at this moment, Qi Xi doesn't care and just thinks that it's good to let Yin hurt badly, and only when it hurts badly will he know what he did wrong, and only then will he realize how worried he is about him!

After dozens of crackling blows, the boy's buttocks were shiny purple red, and the palm prints overlapped, only the fingerprints of his fingers could be faintly seen on the edge of the buttocks.

Qi Lan's anger finally vented a lot, he stopped, and only then did he feel the burning pain in his palm.

The slaps behind him stopped, Yin didn't know if the punishment was over, he only dared to take advantage of this gap to let go of his teeth biting his lip, and panted to relieve the pain.

"Turn around."

Qi Xi's voice made Yin's heart tremble, and he turned around and stood in a military posture without hesitation, but his tight thighs and buttocks screamed and became more and more painful.

Looking coldly at the young man maintaining a standard military posture, Qi Lan knew that slapping wouldn't really hurt anyone. "Go to the bed and kneel, for half an hour I hope you will realize where you went wrong."

Licking his dry and stinging lips, the boy watched his brother's back as he opened the door and left, and slowly climbed onto the bed and knelt down properly.

Leaving aside the intensified pain behind his heel against his buttocks, in fact, facing such a gentle brother and lover, Yin didn't know where he was dissatisfied and provoked the other party.

Qi Chou went out of the room and went to ask Ji Linxuan for wound medicine.When he went out this time, how could he expect that he would need such things as wound medicine, so now when he urgently needed it, he had to go to his own master who always brought wound medicine with him.

Here, Qi Xie was looking for Ji Linxuan everywhere, and here, Ji Jinyi went upstairs and knocked on Yin's door because she was worried about her youngest son.

"Xiao Yin, are you in the room?"

Hearing Ji Jinyi's voice, the young man almost bounced off the bed in shock. He thought the footsteps were harsh, so he kept his kneeling posture again and again, but now he could only hurriedly respond while jumping out of the bed and wanting to wear it. Clothes suddenly found that his clothes had already been cut into a pile of rags.

It was too late to go to the closet to get clothes, Yin got into the bed and wrapped herself tightly almost the moment Ji Jinyi opened the door, and pretended that nothing happened.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Ji Jinyi is a sensitive and smart woman. She glanced at the broken clothes on the ground, raised her eyebrows almost invisibly, and then sat down by the bed, "Come on, lie down and let Mom see the injury."

Yin smiled shyly, "Mom, Xiao Yin is still naked after taking the medicine..."

The woman raised her hand to caress the boy's head, and smiled, "There's nothing you can't see between mother and child." As she spoke, she was about to pull the quilt off Yin's body.

The boy's hands under the quilt tightly held the quilt, but he didn't know if it was due to nervousness, but Ji Jinyi snatched his hands away from the quilt as soon as he slipped his hands.The young man was so embarrassed that he only had time to turn over, so that he didn't expose the shame in front of him to his mother.

Looking at the unmedicated scars on the young man's back with clear eyes, Ji Jinyi had a rare cold face, "Lying is not a skill, if you have a skill, don't be found out if you tell a lie."

Yin bit her lips and sat up on the bed, "Mom..."

The woman didn't look at him, she opened the closet, took out the clothes and put them on the bed, "Put them on."

It was at this time that Qi Chou opened the door, and what he saw was his mother's eyes that were not angry but mighty.

"Mother……"

Ji Jinyi glanced at the emaciated face of the eldest son who had always been decent, then glanced at the wound medicine in his hand for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and said nothing.

In fact, in her own words, it's only natural for her elder brother to take care of her younger brother, so she doesn't have to meddle in other people's affairs.However, when the two sons lied to her together and were exposed by her, she couldn't help being sad.

Even if the lie itself is not painful or itchy, it's no big deal, the woman still feels that her passionate love is somewhat devalued.

Ji Jinyi was silent for a long time, looked up at her two sons standing in front of her who were more than a head taller than her, and sighed leisurely, "Why are you standing still?"

Yin's first reaction when he heard this sentence was that his mother would punish people even if she was angry.Qi Chou's first reaction after hearing this was, fortunately, mother is not very angry.

The woman sat down on the chaise longue by the window, and then watched the elder son take the hand of the younger son and sit down by the bed, as if waiting for the verdict.

Yin Yin was not as calm as Qi Qing, he pulled out his hand that was held by Qi Qing suspiciously and uneasily.

"Mom, Xiaoyin made a mistake, Xiaoyin admits punishment..."

Ji Jinyi was slightly taken aback, and looked at the elder son with a smile and gave the young man a look, with the words "shut up" clearly in his mouth.

"Okay, I won't hold you accountable this time. But, Xier, I don't know when you got so angry." God knows that she was even more astonished when she saw her youngest son's nectarine-like ass | More or more distressed.

Qi Xi pursed his lips, trying to say something to admit his mistake, but saw the woman wave her hand, "There will be no next time."

"Yes."

Hidden to the side was a bit confused, so I looked at Ji Jinyi and then at Qi Xi, and summed it up, it seemed that the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Seeing the obedient appearance of the two brothers, Ji Jinyi felt a lot better. She looked around and looked at the room where the two lived, and then said a shocking sentence.

"How long have you two been sleeping together?"

After Qi Chou was completely shocked, he was very convinced that this was not a joke from his mother, let alone an illusion caused by his own auditory hallucinations, but a statement.

Indeed, under the deliberate reminder of the previous methods, the natural carefulness and sensitivity of women made it easy for Ji Jinyi to discover the unusual spark between the two.After that, she struggled and asked herself many times, as a mother, if this is what the children want, then what right does she have to force the change.After all, no one knows how to make choices in order to have a bright and happy future after the storm.

"If this is your decision after careful consideration, then I hope that you can consider it from the perspective of my mother." The woman stood up, took two steps outside and stopped, "After that, if Your choices have not changed, so, mother supports you."

☆、chapter51.XXV

It is an old rule of the Qi family to worship ancestors on the second day of the new year, so on the night of the first day of the new year, the group flew back to Province Z with Jing Ran, ending the family's short vacation.

Seniors and young are orderly, and there are differences in respect and inferiority.Starting at 7 o'clock in the morning, after a series of tedious steps, it was almost noon when it was Yin's turn to kneel down and salute.

Yin stood in front of the ancestral tablet in the center of the ancestral hall, and his own old housekeeper, Fu Dai, was holding the genealogy and rolled the name.The voice was deep and slow, with the vicissitudes and sluggishness unique to the old man, as if telling the ancestors in front of them that their lost children and grandchildren had finally returned home.

Taking a few steps forward, he secretly followed Qi Chou's practice before, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times after offering incense, which is the basic etiquette for the descendants of the Qi family.

Although the Qi family's ancestral hall is also solemn, it always gives people a warm and intimate feeling, making people feel the existence of family members around them and the protection of ancestors and gods.

As the youngest member of the family, after Yin Yin bowed and bowed, the whole worship was basically over.For the rest, only a few surnamed families who have been slaves for generations in the family are eligible to worship in the ancestral hall, but they can only be separated so far that even the incense sticks cannot be placed.

"Xiao Yin, come here."

Calling to stop the young man who was walking out with his parents, Qi Lan waved away the rest of the idlers in the ancestral hall.

The boy walked obediently to his elder brother and called out, "Brother."

Qi Sang smiled fondly and looked at the young man, "Yeah."

Holding his younger brother's hand, Qi Xi knelt down on the futon, the young man froze for a moment, and took advantage of the situation to kneel beside Qi Xi.

The empty ancestral hall is very quiet at this moment, the smoke of sandalwood lingers around the beams for a long time, and there is still this ancient and mysterious smell in the air.

"Grandpa," Qi Xi knelt straight, and could faintly feel the subtle tremors coming from the hands of the two holding each other, "Did you see, this is Xiaoyin. Xiaoyin has gone home."

——I found Xiaoyin back.

——Xiao Yin, who was lost by me, is back.

Yin held Qixi's hand tightly, staring straight at the tablet in front of his eyes, as if he was talking to the kind old man in his memory through the piece of wood.

"Grandpa, Xiaoyin is back."

The young man's voice was soft, but it was like a shot of a booster that hit Qi Si's heart.

Like a pious confession, Qi Lan's sins of more than ten years were finally forgiven at the end of the disappearance of his voice.

Back at Qilan's house, under the warm winter sun, the saplings of the flower trees planted in the yard have sprouted new buds, and the flower buds are also not afraid of the cold wind, and are ready to bloom.

Qi Xi sat in the living room, with his back against the scenery in the courtyard, his eyes were gentle and impartial, watching the young man who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, a boy in an apron came out with a plate of green snacks.There was shyness and embarrassment that couldn't be concealed on his face.

Qi Chou looked at the dim sum on the plate, and curled his lips in surprise but without a trace, "Is this a gift?"

This is the first time in the true sense that food has been made by one person, and the appearance is inevitably not good enough, so I feel nervous and excited.

The boy nodded, blushing, "Yes. It's tea cake."

Yin carefully cut the tea cake into small pieces with a knife, and then used a fork to hold it to Qi Si's mouth, adding, "I remember you like to eat..."

Qi Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I like to eat?"

The young man tilted his head, thought about it, and was a little uncertain, "At the time at my uncle's house...the butler specially brought tea cakes for you to take home and eat while it was hot, saying it was your favorite..."

Qi Xi was moved by Yin's carefulness, that he started to pay attention to his own preferences at such an early age, even though this kind of attention was probably only due to the necessity of the master-servant relationship at that time.

Indeed, Qi Chou loves to eat tea cakes.But the reason why he really likes this taste is just the performance of Yin Aiwu and Wu. After all, tea cake is Yin's favorite snack when he was a child.

It's a pity that that part of the memory seems to be too vague in Yin's mind, so that the boy has such a misunderstanding.

After eating a plate of pastries, Qi Chou took a sip of tea and wiped his mouth contentedly, then took a kraft paper file bag that had been placed by the table for a long time. "A belated New Year's gift."

The boy took it in a daze, and then opened it under the gesture of his brother's eyes.Inside are several sheets of paper.

"Happy New Year, Xiaoyin."

"This is……?"

"[Conceal] 60% of the shares." Qi Xi smiled fondly, "I have kept it for you for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity to hand it over to you."

Standing at the [Conceal] studio on the top floor of the Qi’s Building in the center of H, overlooking the busy traffic of the entire city through large French windows, Yin suddenly felt that this gift was a bit too expensive, especially after Qi’s narration was over. After the original intention of creating this brand.

The boy's eyes were almost red, but there were no tears falling.Mixed feelings.Perhaps, there is nothing more touching than a person's silent and hopeless waiting.

"...You just, believe that I'm still alive?" Yin's voice had a strong nasal tone.

Qi Lan stood behind the boy and wrapped him in his arms, with his head lowered and his chin resting on the boy's shoulder, "I said it, just like its name. I believe you were just hidden. Sooner or later, I will find it." At this point, Qi Xi couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on the young man's face, "Didn't I just find it?"

Hiding through tears into a smile, laughing, but also feel distressed and want to cry.

He could imagine how desperate Qi Xi was at that time, so he pinned all his hopes on an invisible thing, and then comforted himself over and over again, saying that his brother must still be alive, but he was hiding in the world who he couldn't see In the corner, he will definitely come back.

Turning his head, the teenager carefully kissed
