The Haunted

The two of them were so close that the rest of the people couldn't hear what they were talking about, and could only see the two standing close together.Ye Yingzhi was naturally known to everyone, even if he didn't know who this young man was who made Mr. Xu stand up to greet him in person, he could guess it by asking the people around him or looking at the person at the main table.

But Chi Yan didn't know many people, and when he asked people who were acquainted with Xu's family, he could only get an ambiguous answer like "it seems to be the boyfriend Xu Erye's family just brought back from outside".Even the people who answered were beating in their hearts, not sure, just now the young master of Xu Erye's family introduced that this young man is his sister's lover, but judging by the posture in front of him, this young man does not seem to be the object of Xu Er's girl , more like the young lover of the head of the Ye family.Having said that, how could an ordinary person from outside be so familiar with Mr. Ye San?

Because of Ye Yingzhi, everyone didn't dare to discuss too much, and they gave up after asking a few simple questions, but some of them still suddenly remembered that this young man seemed to be the eldest grandson who left the Chi family many years ago.Counting his age, Chi's grandson should indeed be this old by now.

Seeing that he agreed, Ye Yingzhi gave a satisfied "Yes", and kissed his outer ear lightly without a trace, then stopped and walked away, returning to the seat reserved for him at the main table.Chi Yan sat down in a trance, flicking the chopsticks in his hand absentmindedly, even ignoring the inquiring eyes from all sides.

Suddenly he felt something very different.The sight that made him feel uncomfortable, Chi Yan raised his head and looked back along that line of sight - it was Chi Rong.He was sitting on the table belonging to the Chi family members, and after meeting Chi Yan's gaze, he turned his head away and started talking to someone next to him.

Chi Yan also turned his gaze, turned his head to look at Xu Rui, opened his mouth, Xu Rui glanced at the brothers and sisters with different expressions on the table from the corner of his eye, and pointed to the squirrel mandarin fish in front of him: "Young Master Chi, you Favorite dish."

Chi Yan understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything, and only occasionally talked about trivial matters with Xu Rui and his siblings.

Chi Yuanshan had a panoramic view of the scene just now, and continued to socialize quietly.In fact, as early as when Ye Yingzhi walked over and Chi Yan stood up, he recognized his son, but he pretended not to know him, his expression was normal, without showing any clues, but his heart was far less calm than his appearance.

Of course he knew how close Chi Yan and Young Master Ye were before, and he also reminded Chi Rong to pay attention to this point, telling him not to go too far in some things, at least not to leave any evidence that can be found to cause trouble for himself, But he didn't take it too seriously.After all, he thought that Ye Yingzhi was just the youngest son of the Ye family at that time, born weak and sickly, recuperating alone in the other garden, not very old, not yet mature enough, when he was lonely and bored, there happened to be such a gadget to cling to If you want to please him and make fun of him, you will naturally not refuse.But now Ye Yingzhi is the head of the Ye family, his kindness is unpredictable, he is alienated and indifferent, and no one can get close to him. The two have been separated for many years and he has never taken the initiative to pay attention to Chi Yan's affairs, so he may not have too deep affection for his son. .Even if there was some friendship when they were young, if they haven't seen each other for a long time and their status has changed, there will be nothing left of that friendship.

At that time, he guessed that the Patriarch of the Ye family might not care about matters related to Chi Yan, but he reminded Chi Rong to be extra careful out of caution.

However, today's situation was far beyond his expectations.The house was packed with guests, and he didn't realize that Chi Yan had sneaked in again, but the third young master Ye went straight to the other side as soon as he came in, with an intimate demeanor, obviously not without feelings.Thinking of this, he felt uneasy in his heart. He knew what Chi Rong had done, but he pretended not to know, and just turned a blind eye. From the looks of it, he still had to remind him so that he would not see Chi Yan appearing. in a hurry.It's better to wait and see what happens first, and not act rashly.

After an hour Xu Rui got up to go to the bathroom, Chi Yan followed after waiting for 10 minutes.

Xu Rui was standing outside in the pavilion leaning on the railing to let in the wind.Chi Yan walked over, a little embarrassed: "Well... I just couldn't hold back, I agreed when he asked me, I didn't think too much about it. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Xu Rui smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this to happen. I was afraid that he would ignore you and you took the initiative to find ways to attract his attention and angered him. This guy is notorious for not being close to people, especially when others take the initiative to get close to him. In the situation just now, you have to grit your teeth and refuse to agree to find trouble."

Chi Yan nodded, but didn't speak.

I just heard Xu Rui continue: "Young Master Chi, but speaking of it, that guy really seems to treat you differently. Did you see that when my grandfather went up to meet him, he didn't show much expression. You call him 'Brother Yingzhi' ’, his face was almost blooming, and it’s impossible to pretend, and there’s no need to pretend.” After speaking, his voice couldn’t help but a little more banter and ridicule.

Chi Yan laughed and cursed back, he pretended to be calm on the outside, but he was actually extremely ashamed in his heart, but he got the foundation of this trick of inconsistency from Chi Yuanshan.He thought that the conversation between him and Ye Yingzhi was quiet enough, but Xu Rui who was sitting next to him still heard it, maybe Xu Xin heard it too.

Calling another grown man "Brother Yingzhi" at such an advanced age...how many people overheard...Chi Yan covered his face and followed Xu Rui to the meeting hall.

When he was standing at the door, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the main table, there was an empty seat, and that person was no longer there.

Xu Rui followed his gaze and explained in a low voice: "The head of the Ye family has always been in poor health. He only appeared on the day of the sacrificial ceremony."

Chi Yan was a little sad and at a loss when he saw that Ye Yingzhi had already left the venue. He had clearly agreed to "go back with my brother tonight", but the other party left without saying a word.After hearing Xu Rui's words, the sadness instantly turned into worry.

Of course he knew that Ye Yingzhi's health was not good. When he was young, he was ignorant, and he was especially clinging to Ye Yingzhi, and he was also coquettish. It was not enough to hold hands and sit next to each other. Whenever possible, he must be hugged by brother Yingzhi.Once he insisted on Ye Yingzhi holding him around the yard to look at the flowers, Ye Yingzhi didn't say anything, just agreed with a smile, carried him out, walked around for an hour, he was not sensible, so She kept hugging Ye Yingzhi's neck, clinging to him and not getting off.

At that time, he was shorter than his peers and looked small, but he had some weight after all.Ye Yingzhi had always been used to him not saying anything, but after returning home that day, he fell ill, his face turned blue and then pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his eyelashes were constantly trembling, and he could hardly breathe.

Chi Yan was frightened, and after the doctor left, he lay on the other side of the bed and held Ye Yingzhi's hand, feeling his fingers trembling slightly like ice.He put Ye Yingzhi's right hand on his stomach, trying to pass the heat over, until he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep beside Ye Yingzhi.

Fu Bo didn't give him a good face because of that incident. On the one hand, he felt wronged, and on the other hand, he felt that he deserved it. Because he was worried about Ye Yingzhi, he fell asleep and shed tears quietly. When he woke up the next day, his eyes were completely closed. Swollen.When he was about to wake up, he felt Ye Yingzhi gently hugging him, as if he was talking to Uncle Fu: "Don't scare Ah Yan, Ah Yan is still young, I am willing to spoil him like this."

He heard Uncle Fu's helpless voice: "But third master, Chi Shao is someone else's child after all, and you can't spoil him forever."

Ye Yingzhi paused for a moment, then said lightly, "Whoever he is, I'll spoil him for the rest of my life."

Those hands still had no warmth, but they were much better than when the master fell ill last night, and they were no longer as cold as dead people.While pretending to be asleep, Chi Yan quietly buried his face in the palm of one hand, feeling sweet and beautiful in his heart.Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yingzhi is only five years older than him, but she has always spoiled and pampered him like a pampering elder brother.

But since then, he didn't dare to ask Ye Yingzhi to carry him out to play. Sometimes Ye Yingzhi took the initiative to carry him out, but he would find various reasons to refuse.Later, when he grew up, he would not let Ye Yingzhi hug him outside in a childish manner, but inside the other garden, the two of them were still as close as ever.

So when Ye Yingzhi was so close to him when they reunited today, although Chi Yan would feel ashamed and out of place because he felt that he was no longer a child, he would not be surprised by the other party's behavior—maybe in Yingzhi's brother's heart , I am still a child who can't grow up.He didn't realize that he was an adult at all, he wouldn't look at himself the way he would look at a young man of his age, and he wouldn't have the same...love and desire for himself.

That person would never have imagined that from the age of fourteen or fifteen, when he was young, he had already loved him with the feeling of treating the person he admired, rather than treating his brother.

Just when he was distracted, a man in black came to him, bowed slightly and saluted: "Young Master Chi, please follow me, the owner is waiting for you in the car."

Chi Yan looked out in the direction indicated by him, and saw a black car parked at the corner outside the door, the rear window of the car was half-opened, and with the warm yellow lights inside the car, it could I could vaguely see the silhouette of a man leaning against the back seat.

Chi Yan's throat twitched, and he looked at Xu Rui, who waved to him, signaling him to go.

"Brother misses Ah Yan, go back with brother tonight, let him love you well." Involuntarily, these words echoed in Chi Yan's mind again, together with the man's deep and cold voice, which seemed flat and vague.

It's over.Chi Yan couldn't help closing his eyes, and stretched out his hands to cover his forehead.Even though he was close at hand, he... missed him even more.

Chi Yan followed the man towards the direction of the car, feeling that his palms were already sweating unconsciously.

The man opened the rear door, asked Chi Yan to sit in and then closed it.

Ye Yingzhi was sitting at the other end of the seat, when she heard the noise, she turned her head to look at him, stretched out her hand to hold the hand he put aside: "Is Ah Yan cold?"

His hands are slender, powerful and cold, which Chi Yan is familiar with.

Chi Yan slowly approached the man, looking at him cautiously and somewhat apprehensively, the light in the car made the man's dark eyes look extra gentle.

The engine started, and the car drove away smoothly. Chi Yan quietly shifted his gaze a little, and whispered, "Brother Yingzhi..."

He felt that Ye Yingzhi was looking at him, and he didn't dare to look at him. He pinched the fur cushion on the seat and said, "Ayan misses you too." He didn't realize the dependence and grievance in his voice.

"Good boy." Ye Yingzhi turned his body and put his arms around the person beside him, so that Chi Yan could just lean on his shoulder, "Little darling, brother has brought you home."
