the shadow

All traces of Yi's past have been deliberately erased.And Ji Linxuan was still lazily nestling on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper.On the coffee table not far away are all kinds of refreshment fruits he likes to eat.

Yin didn't know where the master was going along the way, until now, when he entered the gate of Ji's house, he saw the huge statue——in the center of the garden of Ji's manor there was a family emblem totem that had been passed down for hundreds of years—— Only then did he realize that the master brought him to Ji's house.

The Ji family, like the Qi family, is an ancient and huge family.The difference is that the Ji family has Austrian ancestry. Take Ji Jinyi, the patriarch of the Ji family, and her younger brother Ji Linxuan for example, 1/8 of Austrian blood flows in their blood.

Yin Yin followed Qi Xi into the gate of Ji's manor but was blocked outside the main house.Looking at the master's back, Yin felt inexplicably worried.

The Ji family's hierarchical concept and system are even worse than those of the Qi family.According to the rules, Yin knelt motionless on the side of the door of the main house, in a corner where almost no one could see.

In fact, he was not kneeling there alone, but there were many people.The two sides of the door of the main house are bounded by one meter away from the door frame, and the interval is one meter. The kneeling servant guards extend to the invisible place.Each one is well-trained, as if always ready to enter the unknown battle.

Yin is just like his name, as long as he wants, he can restrain the breath around him and dilute his existence.In the dark, he can see you, but you can never see him.

The servant by the door knelt on the ground to put on the slippers for Qi Chou. Qi Chou had no expression on his face, but he glanced at the place where Yin was kneeling before entering the door.Yinben lowered his head slightly, and he could see Qi Chen's movements out of the corner of his eye, so at this moment, he leaned down with his hands on the ground to show Qi Chen that he understood what the master meant.So Qi Lan stepped into the door of the main house, and Yin walked on his knees and moved to the wall to wait.

"Master." Qi Lan knew that Ji Linxuan had always been waiting for him at the same place, so as soon as he entered the door, he walked towards the row of leather sofas by the French windows in the living room, and he really saw the person who was curled up and nestled himself on the sofa. Ji Linxuan.

The newspaper that was originally in the man's hand has been thrown far away at this time, and his eyelashes are closed like a sleeping baby.The chestnut hair scattered randomly on the man's face, fair skin, three-dimensional facial features, is a stunning beauty even with eyes closed.

After Qi Chou called out "Master" according to the rules, he didn't get a response from the man and didn't dare to move, so he just stood and waited.Because here, he is no longer the head of the Qi family, he has no right to break the rules.Just like those servants.

Ji Linxuan had indeed fallen asleep instead of deliberately pretending to be asleep to make things difficult for Qi Xie. In fact, he hadn't slept well for several days, so it was rare for him to take time off at this time, and he just took a nap and fell asleep soundly.

Although it was a sound sleep, it was only a light sleep, because if he hadn't had enough confidence in his own defense system, he wouldn't dare to close his eyes for a moment.So sensitive as he is, he has known since the moment he entered the door, but subconsciously, he still let himself go to sleep with peace of mind.

Qi Chou stood at this station for nearly half an hour, and when the person on the sofa sat up rubbing his eyes, he was still standing in the same standing posture after entering the door, not bad at all.

"Master." Qi Chou took a step forward and saluted politely.

"Well, you're here." Ji Linxuan stood up and prepared to move his body, stretched his arms casually, and the loose sleeves of home clothes slid down his delicate arms.The upper body is carried by the arms and leaned back, with the waist as the axis, presenting a beautiful angle.

Pausing in the air for about 5 seconds, Ji Linxuan straightened up suddenly, the previous sleepiness seemed to be swept away, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed as if he had gotten a good quality sleep, "Sorry, I fell asleep, wait Has it been a long time?" He walked to the glass tea table in the center of the living room, picked up the teacup and drank.

"No," Qi Qi shook his head, then asked again, "Has the master eaten?"

"What about you?" Ji Linxuan asked without answering.

"Xiao Xi has been at home."

The man laughed, his eyes were shining, and he was very good-looking, "Then let the master come to test whether your craftsmanship has deteriorated."

Ji Linxuan is 10 years older than Qi Lian, but he always looks like a teenager. They are more like brothers than master and apprentice.

It has been 13 years since Qi Lan worshiped Ji Linxuan as his teacher at the age of 9. When Qi Lan was a teenager, he often lived in Ji's house. After growing up, especially after he took over the Qi family, the two rarely had the opportunity to meet each other.Unless Ji Linxuan is looking for him, Qi Xie will only visit Ji's house once a month.

Ji Linxuan leaned leisurely against the door of the kitchen, looking at Qixi who was busy in an orderly manner, the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup being brought to the table by Qi Lu, the most common home-cooked dishes were delicacies that he hadn't tasted for a long time.

Qi Lan's cooking skills are very good, even comparable to those top chefs, but only Ji Linxuan knows the reason.

This child is so distressing.

After serving the chef himself, Qi Lan pulled out the chair for Ji Linxuan, and then stood beside him.

Ji Linxuan glanced at Qi Xi, who was standing upright, and didn't ask anyone to sit down, "It tastes good."

"Master's praise."

Ji Linxuan seemed to be in a good mood eating the delicious dishes, "Have you accepted the 'puppet'?"

"Yes, just arrived this morning."

Ji Linxuan took a sip of water, "How is it?"

"Ability and character are all acceptable."

Ji Linxuan nodded and remained silent, as if she had uncovered the topic.

It wasn't until he put down the tableware and signaled the servants to come forward to clean it up that he said slowly, "What about the rest, is there anything else you want to say?"

Qi Chou said without hesitation, "Yes, Xiao Chou knows it's wrong."

"Go upstairs." This was said to Qi Xi, but he didn't even look at him, then motioned for the attendant outside the door to come in, and said, "Tell that 'puppet' to come in."

The author has something to say: something went wrong with Qianqian's computer, so the update is a bit slower. Sorry.

☆、chapter7.【G-gradually】

After enjoying the dinner carefully prepared by her apprentice, Ji Linxuan leaned comfortably on the sofa, watching Yin walk humbly in front of her from outside the door.

"name?"

"Subordinate Yin." Yin bowed his head obediently, but the slight heavy heartbeat expressed his nervousness.

"Slap!" Rang Yin slapped his face with a loud slap at the speed that Rang Yin couldn't react, and directly slapped his body away.

The applause first exploded in the ears, and there was no feeling on the face except numbness, then the abnormal heat, and finally the burning pain.

"I'm sorry." Yin didn't understand what he did wrong at all, but he quickly returned to his kneeling position and apologized.

The slap just now was so strong that Yin could even taste the bloody smell in his throat, but Ji Linxuan was very measured, he would not let the filthy blood splash anywhere he could see.

Ji Linxuan calmed down, but there was an undisguised search in her eyes, "'Puppet'?" The raised tone fully showed the speaker's doubts.

"Yes..." The pain on the cheek made Yin feel a little awkward when speaking.

"Do you know the fate of being sent back?" Although it was a question, Ji Linxuan said it without the slightest questioning tone.This kind of behavior of manipulating the power of life and death with just one sentence, or even a joke on the spur of the moment, made Yin feel cold.Because he has seen too many, too many innocent and fresh lives that have been strangled like this.

"This subordinate understands, please forgive me." Yin bent down to make himself look more humble.

This kind of threatening warning is very effective, after all Yin is such a trivial existence.

The calm and calm demeanor was beyond Ji Linxuan's expectation, which made his impression of Yin slightly better. "Follow the rules of the Qi family and 'Diyu', and do your part well. For things you can ask, watch more, listen more, and talk less; things you can't ask—" Ji Linyu paused, Looking at Yin who was kneeling on the ground, "Then take care of your eyes, ears, and mouth."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Hidden on the ground, not daring to move a little.

"Also, I don't like your name."

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Ji Linxuan entered the punishment room, pushed the door open, and saw the thin but broad figure by the wall.

Ji Linxuan doesn't like blood, very much.Therefore, he seldom used tools such as canes and whips to punish his apprentices.He is a very patient person, he likes to use various methods to torment others, without wounds, but it can also make life worse than death.

Slowly walking behind Qi Lan, who was facing the wall with his back turned to him, Ji Linxuan casually glanced at Qi Lan's tight legs and, at this moment, his feet in a strange posture, Then he said lightly, "I don't remember when your introspective posture became so relaxed."

At this time, Qi Chou was barefooted, with the soles of the front feet on the ground, the heels on the ground, and the feet were hanging down on the smooth solid wood floor.The insteps, calves, knees, thighs and upper body are all in a straight line, and the weight of the whole body is naturally pressed on the slender toes and insteps without any protection.

Qi Lan's body is very beautiful, Ji Linxuan knows this very well. A height of 187, a perfectly proportioned skeleton, a lean and strong body with beautiful muscular lines, clean and delicate but not too fair skin... If there are some things that are ignored.

"I'm sorry." He apologized neither humble nor arrogant, and then adjusted his posture slightly.Stretch your staggered arms that are straight up high and close behind your ears to the back and upwards to the limit.

Needless to say, the pain in the feet.Standing on the back of the feet, which is difficult to maintain balance, should not be used as a static reflection penalty, because even a few seconds are unspeakable pain.However, for Ji Linxuan, such tricks are just the tip of the iceberg.

"It's 40 minutes, come down." If you stand any longer, your feet will definitely hurt.

Qi Chou froze, and subconsciously bit his lower lip with his teeth, but quickly let go.

"Thank you, Master." Resisting the severe pain and numbness from the blood returning from both feet, Qi Xie turned the twisted soles of the feet back and let the soles of the feet touch the ground.However, after standing like that for 40 minutes, the soles of my feet are already a little bent, and it is a problem to try to keep them flat.

Seeing Qi Lan who was finally able to stand in a military posture, Ji Linxuan said slowly, "Roll up your trousers."

"Yes." Qi Chou is Qi Chou after all, no matter how painful it is, it will not show on his face.Seeing his beloved apprentice bent down to roll up his trouser legs without even frowning, and stood in a military posture again, Ji Linxuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Qilan's knee was seriously injured when he was a teenager, and healed after careful treatment by doctors.Although he has already healed now, Ji Linxuan has never punished him to kneel since then.

Ji Linxuan was leaning against the window, but now she walked up to Qi Si, raised her hand, and rubbed the hair of the big boy in front of her, then squatted down *, "How is it?" Gently pressing Qi Si's knee At this point, Ji Linxuan is like a kind elder brother.

"Xiao Chou is fine." Qi Chou's voice was still calm and unwavering, and the ice on his face had melted a little.

After kneading and pressing for a while, Ji Linxuan stood up with confidence. "Remember to wipe off the ointment I gave you last time, and ask someone to come and pick it up when it's used up."

"Yes, I remember."

In the lacquered and dedicated punishment room of the Ji family, apart from the gleaming white walls on all sides, there are also some strangely shaped furniture that don't see any use.Ji Linxuan leaned on it casually, "I want you to come back this time, and there is one more thing about Conceal."

Hearing Conceal, Qi Si's body visibly froze.

Qi Lan's reaction obviously displeased Ji Linxuan, he frowned slightly, "The old problem still can't be changed."

"I'm sorry, Master, I should be punished." Qi Chou's expression darkened instantly, he pursed his lips, leaned down* and began to do push-ups.

Seeing Qi Xi who was desperately doing push-ups regardless of the pain in his feet, Ji Linxuan pulled him up. "After so many years, you still haven't seen clearly? You should have had enough nonsense!"

"I'm sorry..." Qi Chou just apologized.

"You are like this, not that I am punishing you, but you are punishing yourself."

Qi Chou shook his head, but couldn't speak.

"Honestly, you didn't create [Conceal] because of Xiaoyin? There are so many people in 'Diyu', but you just accepted this one. Isn't it because his name is the same as Xiaoyin?"

"No...it's not..." Qi Xi shook his head absently, as if muttering to himself.

The author has something to say:

The foot of Qianqian’s male god that I saw by chance today~~~ The one on the lower right is basically the same as the posture of my Xiaoxie being punished in this chapter, so I will show it to everyone~~~

Xiuwen~

☆、chapter8.【H-humble】

Qi Lan and Ji Linxuan have been together for many years and know each other well.

So Qi Chou knew that if he wanted to be pampered, he had to make Ji Linxuan feel sorry for him first.

"Master," Qi Chuan was embraced by Ji Linxuan, but his eyes were lowered so that no one could see the brilliance in his eyes, "You punish me."

Ji Linxuan didn't speak, stretched out his hand to stroke Qixi's hair, and then pushed him away, "If you still think that physical pain can cover up spiritual suffering, then I taught you this in vain. for many years."

"Master, I'm sorry..." Qi Lan stood upright, but it was very distressing.

Ji Linxuan just shook his head after hearing this, "You didn't feel sorry for anyone. It's just that if you must blame something for the accident that year, then it can only be your weakness."

Qi Chou just listened and didn't speak.There was a vague sadness on the face.

After all, Ji Linxuan felt distressed, turned around, and thought, let's pamper him one more time, at least let him have the right to remember. "Send me your written reflection before midnight. Now, you can go back."

After hearing this, Qi Chan's eyes were tinged with joy, "Thank you, master."——Give Conceal the possibility to continue to exist.

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when Qi Lan stepped out of the main house's gate, and there were only two night guards kneeling at the gate.As soon as Qi Xi came out, Yin who was kneeling in the corner heard the movement, and hurried over on his knees.

"Master." The knees and calves that had been kneeling for several hours, as well as the pain on the back that was almost numb, were indescribably uncomfortable, but Yin still maintained a standard kneeling posture to greet his master, and then Instead of a servant, he put on shoes for Qixi.

Qi Xi seemed to be in a good mood, and when Yin changed his shoes for himself, he said, "Get up."

Thank you in a low voice, secretly biting the tip of your tongue and standing up reluctantly.

"Young master." At this moment, the voice of the housekeeper Uncle Fu came from behind.

"Fu Bo, why don't you rest at this late hour?"

Fu Bo smiled, "This is your favorite pastry that the young master specially prepared for you," he said, pointing to the exquisite bamboo lunch box in his hand, "It's just made in the kitchen, and it's still hot."

"Thank you Uncle Fu," Qi Chou took it with his own hands, "I also ask Uncle Fu to thank Master on my behalf."

Uncle Fu watched Qi Si grow up, so he knew that Qi Si really liked these pastries, and he was also happy to see Qi Si happy, "Yes, don't worry, young master." He bowed and retreated after saying that.

Yin straightened his back and sat on the co-pilot, carefully holding the lunch box with snacks in his hands.In fact, he was somewhat conflicted in his heart. He was sent to protect his master, but what he was holding...was not any weapon.In case the master is in any danger, he deserves to die.It's just... Yin looked down at the lunch box in his hand, and finally knew what the master liked to eat. If he could make it for the master, the master would be happy.

Thinking of this, Yin looked sideways at the backseat sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and meditating. The soft light outside the window kept gliding across his face, which eased the originally stern lines, and it no longer looked like everything had been carefully planned. Carved statues have no emotion.

Ji Linxuan once told him that if you want to resist fate, you must first obey fate.

Bow your head before fate, this is what Qi Chou learned many years ago.The moment he lost the most important thing in his life, he knew that the weak had no right to resist.

However, to this day, he has become the strong man he wanted to be, but he still can't get back the precious things he lost, still can't resist fate, and still wants to bow his head in front of fate.

Qi Xie let out a soft breath, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, "Stop the car."

The car drove slowly to the side of the road and stopped, turned around with some doubts, "Master?"

Qi Chou didn't speak, just opened the car door and walked out.

Yin put down the lunch box and got out of the car without hesitation.

This is a small park that is almost abandoned.

Qi Chou picked out a bench with a street lamp next to it familiarly, and then sat down.Ink stood beside him, in the dimly lit shadows.

Qi Chou leaned back on the bench with both hands, tilted his head to look at Yin, but couldn't see his face because of the backlight.So, "Come closer."

Yin approached obediently, the warm and soft light from the street lamp suddenly poured down from the top of Yin's head, Yin's original fair complexion seemed to reveal a faint golden light, and Qi Qi could even see him clearly because of his downcast eyes. Countless long and thick eyelashes.

"What's the matter with the face?" But because of this, he saw the faint palm print on Yin's cheek.

"Return to the master, Yin said something wrong." After speaking, Yin bent his knees and knelt down, just beside Qi Lan's right hand.

"Oh?" Qi Lan can guarantee that none of the servants or even the butler of the Ji family would dare to beat someone without permission.

"Yin broke the rules in front of Mr. Ji." Qi Xifu looked at the obviously powerful slap print again, thinking how Yin's breaking of the rules made the always good-tempered master angry to such an extent.But without thinking too much, Qi Ci immediately understood the reason why Yin was beaten.

"Get up."

"The subordinate dare not, it is the subordinate who did something wrong, please punish the master." Even though his knees and even his whole body were still in pain, Yin did not dare to take chances.

After hearing this, Qi Ci felt a dull pain in his head, "I don't want to say it a second time."

The sharp and cold tone made Yin feel a little apprehensive, "I'm sorry." After speaking, she stood up immediately without hesitation.

For the "puppet", doing something wrong and trying to avoid punishment is to seek death, and it is a great kindness for the master to be too lazy to punish.

This must be kindness, Yin couldn't help being grateful in his heart.

As soon as Yin's words fell, something happened that made his brain froze. Qi Xi stretched out his hand and pulled Yin, who had just stood up, to his side, and then leaned his head against it.

So, under the dim but unique light, the boy named Yin froze his body.

The author has something to say: Ah, it seems that Qianqian hasn't updated the article for a long time. . .

Xiuwen~

☆、chapter9.【I-identify】

"Master...?" Yin widened his eyes in surprise but dared not move a little because of his posture, so he could only ask.

At this moment, Qi Chou had a severe headache, but his thoughts were unexpectedly clear. He closed his eyes, and he could even feel the muscles on the body he was leaning on tense instantly the moment he leaned on it.

"Shut up." Qi Xi stopped Yin from continuing to ask questions.

Therefore, I had to hold back my full stomach of questions, and the old park at night was suddenly silent, only the cicadas chirping in the grass at the end of summer.

The hidden position just blocked the light that was supposed to be cast on Qi Chou, so that Qi Chou happened to be in the dark.He tilted his head slightly, wanting to see the appearance of his master in the dark.

Probably Qixi itself is too dazzling, and he can faintly see that even in the dark, his master still emits light.Introverted and elegant, people can't help but get close.Such a person... Maybe, he was born to be followed without hesitation, he secretly thought.

At this moment, my thoughts are back to more than ten years ago, in the same park, at the same location, two children who ran out to play, sat on the same bench clinging to each other, whispering their respective feelings. Little secret.

There are the same cicadas in my ears, and the same lights above my head.

However, time flies, it seems like a lifetime away.At this very moment, there is no child like a porcelain doll by Qi Lan's side.

"Xiaoyin likes brother the most!" The sweet voice with a milky sound played back clearly in Qixi's mind.

Xiao Yin likes her brother the most...

Xiao Yin...

"Honestly, you didn't create [Conceal] because of Xiaoyin? There are so many people in 'Diyu', but you just accepted this one. Isn't it because his name is the same as Xiaoyin?"

"You are like this, not that I am punishing you, but you are punishing yourself."

Qi Xi suddenly woke up from the memory, slapped Yin away from him, and stood up from his seat.

Because of the kneeling position for a long time before, Yin's lower body was unstable, and the muscles in his whole body were tense because of Qi's actions just now, and he couldn't relax. At this time, he was pushed out by Qi, and backed away. It took two steps to stabilize his footing.Then he knelt down and apologized with a look of panic, "I'm sorry, master."

Qi Xi didn't even look at Yin, just said, "From now on, you are not allowed to be called 'Yin' again." After speaking, he strode out, leaving Yin kneeling on the spot with a stunned expression on his face. .

However, Qi Lan's sudden anger and cold language made Yin feel astonished, but he was only stunned for a few seconds before getting up and quickly catching up.

He thought, since the master said no to the name, let's just let it go. Anyway, the "puppet" itself is just the shadow of the master.Shadows don't need names.

Back at Qi's house, Yin took the lunch box brought from Ji's house to the kitchen in person, because he knew that Qi Chou didn't eat much for dinner, so he wanted to put it on a plate so that he could serve it to the master.But he didn't want to be stopped by the housekeeper before he even walked up the stairs.

"The young master ordered, don't let anyone disturb you."

"But," Yin looked at the plate in his hand, "this...it won't taste good when it's cold..."

When the housekeeper saw the tea cake, he also knew that Ji Linxuan ordered it to be brought, "I'll just serve it up. If you're fine, go and rest."

Yin wanted to say something more, but seeing the butler's warning eyes, he swallowed his words again, followed the butler upstairs with his head down.

Yin pushed open the door of his room, and the room was much bigger than his previous dormitory in "Diyu", and even the home appliances were all available.Yin has never been a picky person, or in other words, he has never been qualified to be picky.So at this time, seeing all that Qi Chou gave him, he felt grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Because, as a "puppet" who can be trampled on by others, what Qi Chou gave him was not only a comfortable living environment, but also the dignity they always wanted.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, Qi Lan had to send his written reflection to Ji Linxuan before midnight.Finally, after pressing the enter button, Qi Lan let out a long breath, and moved his already stiff ankle and toes that were still aching.Secretly ridiculing, if the master knows that he has become so delicate, it will definitely be another good punishment.Turning his head, he saw the small plate of tea cakes on the side of the table. The snow-white porcelain against the green triangular soft pastries looked particularly delicate.

Yin's sleep has always been very light, but probably the bed was too soft and comfortable, which made him sleep until 6 o'clock in the morning.If it was in "Diyu", he would have finished his routine morning exercises by this time and was doing the extra exercises arranged by Qi Guanling.

Yin quite helplessly shook his head, people really are easy to slack off.

After a quick wash, he did some simple warm-ups on the open space beside the bed in the room until the tip of his nose was sweating slightly, and suddenly he remembered and understood what the master said the day before.

It turns out that what the owner meant by not having to be with him 24 hours a day is to give him the greatest degree of freedom, whether it is private space or free time.

He secretly blamed himself for being stupid, not because he forgot to answer later and was whipped by the master.

After figuring things out, Yin opened the closet and changed out the T-shirt that looked old.

I can probably guess that his room was cleaned up by the owner, and the clothes in the closet were also purchased according to his own body data provided by "Diyu". With the addition of high-quality fabrics, it's no wonder that they fit so well.

Even—glanced at the medicine box on the bedside table—I'm afraid it was ordered by Qi Xi to prepare it for himself.

Outsiders have always known that the "puppets" of the Qi family don't buy or sell for the following reasons.One is that "puppets" are too rare, and not every year a "puppet" can become a teacher; two is that the loyalty of "puppets" is precious, and there is no need for the Qi family to risk being betrayed by selling such a loyal tool to others; Well, as a huge family business like the Qi family, it doesn't care about the money it makes by selling "puppets". If it is sold at a sky-high price, no one will be willing to buy it.

But what outsiders don't know is that although "puppets" are precious and rare, they are easier to support than ordinary bodyguards, and they are more resistant to beatings, pain, obedience and loyalty.They have no requirements for life, owners, or rewards. They are like robots with no desires and no desires that have been set in a prescribed mode.

So at this moment, if Yin's feelings for the "Di Yu" he has lived in for so many years are dependence, then he now has a feeling for the Qi family and his master Qi that surpasses dependence— -gratitude.

Human beings have always been like this, whoever wants to treat you well, you will treat him with heart and soul.

The author has something to say: Qianqian is on vacation, and the speed of updating the article will probably be a little faster.

Xiuwen.

☆、chapter10.【J-just】

In fact, Ji Linxuan's restraint on Qi Si is not very strict. At least after Qi Si becomes an adult at the age of 18, he will no longer force Qi Si to go to bed before the time he stipulated, and he must complete his daily morning exercises. He must set aside half an hour every day to think about whether there is any mistake in his words and deeds throughout the day and then conduct a deep review. He must let Qixi accept any possible punishment whenever he thinks it is necessary, etc.

These regulations are almost never enforced after Qi Chou becomes an adult.

Qi Xie knew very well that it was not because Ji Linxuan felt that he needed to be respected when he grew up, or that he wanted to change the way of discipline, but because of his trust in him, he believed that Qi Xie had enough self-control. to restrain yourself.Regardless of whether you are indulgent, it does not mean that the requirements for you are lowered, but because the expectations of you are directly proportional to your age, and I want you to take responsibility so that you can bear the responsibility and bear more expectations.

Qi Xie naturally understands this truth. Since childhood, he has almost never disappointed Ji Linxuan.Ji Linxuan knew that this 18-year-old boy who became the head of the Qi family was ruthless to others, but he was ruthless to himself.

Because Yin got up early and had nothing to do, after the morning exercise, he went to the garden outside the main courtyard to help the gardener shovel mud and trim flowers and plants.In fact, he had thought about it in his heart. As a "puppet" who belongs to his master wholeheartedly, it is not right to waste time doing such things early in the morning, but he still did it in the end.

Even he himself didn't realize that in his 19 years of boring, numb and cruel life, on this day, while waiting for his master to get up and come downstairs, there was such a trace of uncontrollable expectation and desire in his heart. He was so anxious that he had to spend his time in such a stupid way, so that he felt that the wait would not be too difficult.

So when Qi Chou went downstairs and walked around the living room holding a cold white glass but didn't see Yin, the little bit of affection he had for Yin the day before disappeared all of a sudden.

The housekeeper, Qin Mian, was very good at reading his young master's face, and seeing that Qi Chou's expression had turned gloomy, he quickly ordered someone to bring Yin back.I blamed it in my heart, this child seemed sensible, why did he disappear so early in the morning.

"I don't know, you guys still have such a leisurely mood." Looking at Yin who was kneeling in front of her with her head bowed, Qi Xi didn't have any expression on her face.

"I'm sorry master, I know I'm wrong. Please punish me severely." The master didn't say "you" but "you".

"Crack!" A loud slap exploded.The housekeeper standing behind Qi Lan was startled by his young master's sudden action.

Yin was slapped heavily on the ground, and quickly straightened up to kneel, Qin Mian could see a bright red slap mark on the boy's originally pale cheek.As soon as Yin knelt upright, nosebleeds rushed out of his nose, flowed down his neck, and some even splashed on his pants.

Qin Mian had never seen his young master so ruthless. At this moment, he was secretly worried when he saw the blood flowing, but he didn't dare to move a little without Qi Xie's order, so he could only watch the clothes on the young man's chest being smashed. Blood soaked.

But Yin seemed to be used to it, and didn't respond to his injuries at all, his back was still straight, his hands naturally hung on his sides of his thighs, his head was slightly lowered, allowing a lot of blood to flow wantonly. "I'm sorry..." and sincerely apologized for making the master angry.

"I'm not in the mood to hear your confession right now, so let me say it. If you leave your post without authorization, you will be punished according to the rules of 'Chayu'. In addition," Qixi stood up, stood in front of Yin, and squeezed Yin's sharp Chin, "Don't you remember?"

Because of Qixi's anger and an aura that could not be ignored, Yin instinctively trembled but tried his best to restrain himself, and suddenly remembered what the master said last night [From now on, you are not allowed to call the name 'Yin' again. 】.

Finally realizing the mistake, Yin hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Master, I just remembered, and my subordinate didn't change my name, please be responsible, Master."

Qi Xie let go of his chin, and he could see that his chin had lost all color from being pinched, and there were deep fingerprints on the bloody flesh.Qi Chou took the wet towel that the butler handed over in due course, and wiped his bloody fingers.

"The number in the 'chatter field'?"

"Return to the master, 070320." Yin sniffed lightly, and he felt the smell of blood in his throat.

As if without thinking, "Twenty, from now on is your name."

"Yes, thank you Master for giving me the name." Yin bowed and kowtowed, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.Are you reluctant?Are you reluctant to bear the name that has followed you for so many years?

"Don't let me hear you calling yourself 'Yin', otherwise, it won't be as simple as punishing according to the rules." Qi Xi glanced at Yin, then turned and told the butler beside him, "Stop the bleeding and let him go to the precept hall to receive the punishment. Then," Qi Lan raised his head and seemed to look into the yard, "I remember that there is a field of thorns in the back mountain, take him there and reflect on it."

"Yes, young master." Qin Mian bowed in response.

In "Diayu", each new student does not have a name, but is named by a number.The numbers are all 6 digits, the first two digits, 07 refers to the year of entry into the camp, that is, the 07th session.The two digits in the middle, 03 refers to the number of batches that entered the camp that year, that is, the third batch.The last two digits, 3 refers to the ordinal number of that batch, that is, the 20th.

During the training time, each trainee will wear a badge with his own number on his chest for easy identification by the instructors.Only after the "puppet" or "魑" leave the division, they are eligible to get a name, and they don't need to call themselves by numbers.

Now, Qi Xie has easily changed Yin's name, but he doesn't know that Yin has only been a teacher in "Diayu" for 3 years, but this name has been with him for 19 years. It is still too difficult to let go or forget.

And Qi Chou, why is he so obsessed with this word?

Is it because the lowly "puppet" has the same name as the one he loves, tarnishing the name?Or, did this suddenly appear in front of him?
