The Shadow of the Wind

Dao, he didn't look at Chu Ning, but just let his eyes go.

The other party's words burned his heart, and Chu Ning felt as if his heart stopped for a few seconds. He looked at Chu You in disbelief, feeling sad and miserable...even more inexplicable anger.

"You are so far away in the UK, and no one will take care of you, so I don't worry." Chu You lowered his eyes and said lightly.

Chu Ning smiled sadly and powerlessly, speechless.

"How about..." Chu You looked up at Chu Ning, and said seriously, "Come back, don't go to England."

Chu Ning pursed his lips tightly, he turned his head away, his eyes flickered.

"Ceramic art exhibitions can also be held in China, and someone at home can take care of you..." Chu You raised his hand to grab Chu Ning's arm, and his gaze also struggled and became complicated.

"I'll think about it again." Chu Ning nodded and said softly.

"Okay." Chu You smiled.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder and didn't talk anymore, but they were so warm and harmonious until Fu Shui came up with Chu Cheng in his arms.

"Ayou?"

Chu You looked back at Fu Shui, and thoughtfully took the little Chu Cheng who had fallen asleep from his arms. His face was gentle and kind. He noticed that Fu Shui was tired, and said distressedly, "Go back to your room and have a rest."

"Fortunately, I'm not tired. Cheng'er is a good boy today, and he didn't cry or make a fuss." Fu Shui said softly.

"Nonsense, you're obviously exhausted, I'll accompany you back to rest for a while." Chu You pretended to be serious and said.

"En." Fu Shui smiled sweetly.

"Brother, I'll take Cheng'er back to my room." Chu You said.

"Okay." Chu Ning nodded numbly, looking at the warm and sweet backs of Chu You's family of three, his eyes gradually dimmed until the glaring backs left, and he turned his eyes to the distance again.

He didn't want to stay, but every inch of air here made him suffocate.

Powerless to struggle.

Two days later.

When Chu You came home from get off work at night, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was not right, and there was no one there. His keen sense told him that something bad must have happened... His first reaction was about Chu Ning.

"Aunt Xin! Where's brother?" Chu You asked while taking off his coat and handing it to the maid beside him.

"The young master's plane is back to England in the afternoon, and the master and the others have all sent the plane off."

"What?!" Chu You was stunned, his whole body was stiff and cold.

"It's the young master who asked everyone not to tell you. The master and the others should be on their way home now." The housekeeper said calmly, "Also, the young master left you a letter in his room."

Chu You only felt that he was imprisoned by a terrible sadness. He rushed upstairs and returned to his room, running all the way, his eyes hurt badly.

With a "bang", he forcefully opened the door, the room was clean and tidy, as if Chu Ning hadn't left, but the letter on the table made everything in Chu You collapse.

Xiaoyou:

I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you face to face, I don't know how to face you, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to leave when I see you.Forgive brother for his cowardice, brother is really not as strong as you think, I wish you and Xiaoshui grow old together.

Tears that could no longer be suppressed fell in strings, soaking the two lines of messages, and he clenched his fists tightly, as strong as he was at this moment, finally crying helplessly.

"elder brother……"

Fate word absolutely, tears are a thing of the past.

☆、You Qing Anning 9

April 2013

Knock, knock, a gentle and careful knock on the door sounded in Chu's house in the early morning.

"Xi'er, are you awake?"

The man's voice was gentle and calm, like a soft cloud.His fingers are still as white and slender as they were decades ago, and he can draw the most beautiful pottery art, with these faint sorrows on his brows.

"Xi'er? I'm Dad."

Chu Ning sighed lightly.If it wasn't for Chu You's phone call to tell him about Xi'er's existence, he would probably never return to this sad place in his life--so many years have passed, even though many things at the beginning have changed, but they will eventually stay like this traces like that.

Of course, the man who made him most uneasy and hid the deepest pain in his heart was still that man.

He didn't dare to face Chu You, he wanted to try his best to avoid him, so he had to force himself to focus all his attention on this biological son - after all, he also owed his father's love for so many years.

"Xi'er, did you go to bed too late last night? Dad brought you breakfast...you'd better eat it while it's hot." Seeing that there was no answer in the room, Chu Ning couldn't help showing a downcast look on his face.

Could it be that the other party is blaming himself as his father...

"Brother? What are you doing here so early?"

The familiar voice made Chu Ning shudder, and turning his head stiffly, he saw that Chu You seemed to have just woken up, standing in front of him in his pajamas, his slightly frowning brows showed a bit of sternness.

"I……"

"Not even wearing cotton slippers?" Chu You frowned more and more, and his voice sank.

"I'll ask Xi'er and Xiao Yan to have breakfast." Seeing his serious look, Chu Ning couldn't help lowering his eyes—he wasn't used to Chu You's rigid look, so much.

"Find cotton slippers and put them on." Chu You grabbed his hand, intending to bring the tray over.

"Xiaoyou? This... This is Xi'er's breakfast." Seeing that he was going to take it away, Chu Ning became anxious, and her fingertips were trembling when she undoubtedly touched Chu You.

"They are still sleeping like hell," Chu You glanced at the closed door through everything, and finally smiled at Chu Ning: "You can't get up before nine o'clock."

"why……"

Chu Ning was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a loud "boom" sound in the room, and then it seemed that something messed up fell on the ground, accompanied by the voices of Chu Xi and Zuo Qiuyan, but because the sound insulation was so good, it was really hard to hear. Can't figure out what the two are talking about.

Chu Ning immediately knocked on the door again: "Xi'er? Xiao Yan? Are you up yet?"

Chu You suddenly coughed in embarrassment, and grabbed Chu Ning's shoulder: "Brother, let them come out to eat later by themselves."

"But..." Chu Ning looked at the other party's hand on his shoulder, and felt a tremor in his heart.

The door opened with a bang, and Chu Xi stood at the door in crooked pajamas: "Morning, Dad! Eh? Uncle, why are you here?" He saw the serious Chu You immediately clutching his chest, and then hurriedly Put your clothes on.

"Xi'er, look at how your clothes look like this..." Chu Ning hurriedly helped him fix it, but was stunned when he saw a large area of ​​bright red on Chu Xi's neck, and then it turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye face, quickly diverted his attention to help his son take care of his chicken-nest-like hairstyle.

"Morning, uncles." Zuo Qiuyan came out calmly and greeted the two elders at the door.

"Both of you hurry up and brush your teeth and have breakfast, don't starve yourself." Chu Ning hurriedly urged the two juniors.

And Chu You directly stuffed the dinner plate into the hands of Chu Xi who was still asleep, and said in a serious tone: "Get up early in the future, and don't let your dad call you again."

Chu Xi blinked and looked at the serious Chu You, a look of grievance suddenly appeared on his face: "Oh."

Seeing this, Chu Ning said, "It's okay, Xiaoyou, don't..."

"Pfft." Chu Xi burst out laughing suddenly, and then covered his mouth with one hand: "Xiaoyou? Hahahaha!" Seeing Chu You frowning, he quickly dragged Zuoqiu Yan away.

These juniors probably didn't expect that Chu You, who seemed tall and straight, with a ruthless face, would have such a cute nickname.

Seeing his son running away with his lover, Chu Ning felt a little lost.He noticed that Chu You was still standing motionless beside him, and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, so he opened his legs and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chu You stopped him suddenly: "Brother," then paused: "Put on the cotton slippers, don't catch a cold."

Chu Ning's heart warmed up, followed by the bitterness condensed over the long years: "...It's okay, the room is very warm."

"You used to be very weak, now Jingzhou is very cold, don't catch cold again."

"...No." After Chu Ning finished speaking, he hurriedly walked away from the place where he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

After so many years, he still doesn't know how to face the other party. He thinks that Chu You will never understand the painful and depressed mood.

****

"Father, I'm going to work." Chu Xi wiped his mouth with a napkin, then happily waved goodbye to Chu Ning with Zuo Qiuyan on his arm.

"Drive carefully, Xi'er." Chu Ning repeatedly instructed, watching Chu Xi's car drive out of the house.

Then he turned back to the room, with timidity and bewilderment flashing in his eyes.Just now Chu Jing, Chu Cheng and Miu Yin also went out, Fu Shui also went to school, and Chu Yi and Chu Kong also went on a trip a few days ago, isn't there only...

Thinking of this, he panicked, and hurried to the pottery room.Immediately after entering, he locked the door and shut himself up - now this place seems to be his safe haven, and only when he is doing pottery can Chu Ning completely forget everything.

He has been with these bottles and cans for decades, which seems to be his lonely witness.

Chu Ning planned to make a decent pottery art for Chu Xi, so he started the lengthy work on the mold.He did it extremely seriously, and he didn't come back to his senses until his stomach was growling and Lan You was knocking on the door urging him to eat.

"Master Ning, it's time to eat."

Chu Ning rubbed his eyes, washed his hands, walked out of the pottery room, followed Lan You to the dining table, and saw the simple three dishes and one soup at a glance, and Chu You sitting opposite the table.

"... Where are Xi'er and the others?"

"Today is Monday, and they are all at the company." Lan You replied truthfully.

Chu Ning shifted his gaze to Chu You, and suddenly felt bitterness in his heart: "That's right, Cheng'er is willing to go back to the company, and my brother is much more relaxed."

"Cheng'er is still young, sometimes I still have to worry about the company's affairs." Chu You had already started his chopsticks, his face was calm and soft, "I am envious of my brother, who can do what I want."

When mentioning pottery art, Chu Ning's expression showed trepidation: "Yes, I like pottery art very much..."

Over the past few decades, he has been accompanied only by loneliness and pottery.

The dinner table became quiet, and Chu Ning ate with his head down, as if he wanted to swallow all the loneliness in his stomach, trying to escape the subtlety of the silence.

"Brother, don't just eat, grab some food."

"...Well, good." After hearing this, Chu Ning hurriedly went to pick up vegetables, but unexpectedly, the chopsticks happened to touch Chu You's, and the slap sound was even more embarrassing, "Sorry..."

Chu You calmly continued to serve food, with a faint smile on his face: "Brother is not young, why do you still touch chopsticks when you eat with me?" Seeing that Chu Ning didn't speak, he recalled to himself: "Remember When we were young, we often grabbed food to eat, which made Lan You worry a lot."

It happened that Lan You brought a plate of new dishes, and he was very happy when he heard it: "Master You was naughty when he was young, and he often caused headaches for the master and his wife. Master Ning is the most obedient."

"My brother was very obedient when I was young, and I have been taught a lot by my father." Chu You also joked.

After the words fell, the dining table became quiet again, only the low chewing sounds of the two brothers could be heard.

The string in Chu Ning's heart immediately tightened. He held his chopsticks uneasily and stared at the half of the white rice left in the bowl, but he involuntarily glanced at Chu You from the corner of his eye.

Silence, no words.

Chu Ning felt a strange feeling of discomfort creeping up from his spine, causing a layer of cold sweat to form on his back—he couldn't take it anymore, as long as Chu You was by his side, he would involuntarily think of those things that should have turned into clouds and smoke. The past - the wedding more than 20 years ago, the full moon wine, and the years in a foreign country, the repentance and pain condensed in the years, are now becoming more and more clear next to this man, and there is nowhere to escape.

He felt like a stick in his throat, so he hurriedly stuffed the rice into his mouth, without even picking up the vegetables, quickly finished the soup, and immediately put down the bowl after eating: "I'm full, Xiaoyou, eat slowly."

"Brother? Why are you eating so fast." Chu You was puzzled.

But before he could ask any more questions, Chu Ning had already got up and left the dining room, his back was trembling imperceptibly.

Chu Ning bypassed the living room, rushed straight to the pottery room, and locked himself in this small space again.He leaned against the door, feeling his heart beating violently, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, and covered his face with his hands in pain.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, making his whole body stiffen to the extreme.

"Brother has entered the pottery room again?"

"Yes."

At the end of the conversation, the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, Chu Ning also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were a little blurred.

He couldn't face his younger brother.

day to day.

Chu Ning made pottery very quickly, but he used up all the raw materials at home in a few days, the finished products were fired, and even the packaging bags for gifts were bought, so there was nothing to do for a while.

He had no choice but to walk out of the pottery room and came to the living room. He happened to see that there was no one there, so he planned to sit down and make a cup of tea.

Just as he was holding the porcelain cup and blowing the heat of the tea, Chu You suddenly came down from upstairs.

"Brother, don't you want to make pottery today?"

Chu Ning shook his hand, and the tea almost splashed out. He stabilized and said: "The materials are used up, and all the finished ones are fired. There is nothing wrong now."

"Then read the books, there are a lot of books at home," Chu You said and started to make tea, and took out a few books from the bookshelf in the living room: "You probably haven't read these books in England. "

"Thank you." After taking it, Chu Ning turned her head and sat on the sofa to read it quickly, but after turning through a few pages, she found that she had picked it upside down, and immediately turned around and read it again in embarrassment.

"Winter in Jingzhou is not pleasant, and sometimes there will be smog. Brother, you'd better go out less." Chu You also sat down and said while blowing the hot air on the teacup.

"Okay..." Chu Ning immediately straightened up when he heard the other party talking to him, put down the book, and blurted out: "By the way, Xiaoyou, do you know what Xi'er has been doing in China these years?"

Chu You raised his head and looked at him quietly for a while: "You asked this question the day before yesterday."

Chu Ning immediately became embarrassed.

"He has always been the artistic director of Sanskrit. Over the years, he has planned a lot of performances and film and television dramas, as well as Fashion Week." Chu You answered skillfully.

Chu Ning blushed in embarrassment: "Well, it's good, Xi'er is a motivated child after all."

"He's been very progressive in his career."

"Well... Cheng'er is more motivated." Chu Ning took the chatterbox stiffly.

"Cheng'er is more stable than Xi'er."

"That's... because my brother taught me well." Chu Ning felt that his voice was not like his own.

"Xi'er is relatively undisciplined, which has a lot to do with his childhood education."

"I know, I don't know how to educate children, so I don't have much experience." Chu Ning's answer began to be wrong.

"It's not your fault, brother." Chu You showed a speechless expression.

"……I know."

The atmosphere was so embarrassing that it was about to explode.

Fortunately, a call came home, saying that the baked pottery had arrived, Chu Ning immediately jumped up from the sofa, and hurriedly followed Lan You to the door to receive the goods.

Leaving Chu You sitting on the sofa drinking tea alone, helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

☆、You Qing Anning 10

end of June.

The company's year-end report is always the busiest. Even Chu You, a leisurely director, goes back to the company every day to hold various year-end reports. He doesn't go home with Chu Cheng and Chu Jing until it is getting dark.

The garden was covered with snow, and it was snowing heavily.

The father and son were all wearing long black coats. Chu Jing jumped in the door with a smile on his face, while Chu You and Chu Cheng were almost the same heroic and handsome, with indifferent and sharp eyes, and steady and powerful steps.

As soon as Chu Cheng saw Miu Yin when he entered the door, he was so gentle that he was unreasonable. He walked up to Miu Yin in two or three steps, held his face in his arms and kissed him: "Why did you get home so early today?"

"I'll be back when I'm done. I want you to wear more clothes. Your face is cold." Mu Yin raised her hand to cover Chu Cheng's face to help warm her up.

The young couple over there were whispering sweetly, Chu You glanced at Lan You, and said, "Lan You, where's brother?"

"Still in the room, went back to the room after lunch, and never came out."

"Everyone go eat, I'll call him." Chu You calmly ordered and went upstairs.

knock knock knock.

knock knock knock.

There was no response after knocking on the door a few times, Chu You frowned slightly, he pressed the doorknob and didn't lock the door, so he simply opened the door and went in.Walking through the small living room and continuing to the bedroom, I saw Chu Ning still curled up in the bed, as if asleep.

"Brother, eat, don't sleep." Chu You patted Chu Ning lightly.

Still no response.

"Brother, wake up." Chu You patted with a little more strength helplessly.

Still no response.

"Brother?" Chu You became alert, and gently lifted Chu Ning's face up, and when his fingertips touched the other's face, it was scaldingly hot, only then did he realize that the other party was trembling in a coma with a fever!

"elder brother!"

Chu You roared nervously, his face turned pale with fright, he simply lifted the quilt and picked up Chu Ning, who was in a mess, and ran downstairs.

Chu Ning's brows were tightly knit together, he opened his eyes slightly as if seeing Chu You's face, and weakly raised his hand to climb on the other's neck, as if this would warm him up: "Brother..."

"I'm here, let's go to the hospital right away." Chu You tightened his arms and hugged Chu Ning even harder, while comforting him constantly.

"dad?"

Chu Cheng and others came out of the restaurant when they heard the movement, and saw Chu You running downstairs in a panic holding Chu Ning, and Chu You looked at Lan You and shouted anxiously: "Lan You! Go and drive! Brother Fa You have a high fever, you need to go to the hospital immediately!"

"Okay!" Lan You also became nervous, quickly put on his coat and hurried to the garage to pick up the car.

"I'll drive. Uncle Lan is too old, so it's not safe." Chu Cheng made a decisive decision and followed him out immediately.

Miao Yin also immediately took a big down jacket and put it on Chu Ning. Soon, Chu You hugged Chu Ning and hurried out to get into the car, and the silver-white sports car sped out.

In the back seat of the car, Chu You kept hugging Chu Ning for fear that the other party would be cold. Seeing the other party's weak and sick appearance made him feel even more distressed. The other party had no wife, and Chu Xi often didn't live in Chu's house, and the servants at home couldn't take care of her meticulously. , Now no one even knows about illness.

"Dad, why don't you let Xi'er come back to live?" Chu Cheng, who was driving, said, "Uncle has no wife, so no one can take care of him."

"I'll talk to your uncle when he recovers." Chu You looked gloomy, and he looked at the sick Chu Ning in his arms motionlessly, struggling and suffering.

The drowsy Chu Ning woke up, he looked at Chu You confusedly: "Brother..."

"You have a fever, I'll take you to the hospital for treatment." Chu You's tone was rare and gentle.

"So sleepy..." Chu Ning lowered his eyes and murmured absently, resting on Chu You's shoulder tiredly, he felt very relieved, and soon fell asleep again.

The car drove fast and steady. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Lan You immediately went to the emergency department, and the procedures were completed quickly. Chu Ning went directly to the best ward for IV drip, and finally calmed down.

Chu You breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "It seems that we are going to stay for one night. Lan You, go back and get some supplies. After Cheng'er goes back, don't come here. Take a good rest. You have to host the year-end summary meeting tomorrow."

"it is good."

Soon only Chu You and Chu Ning were left in the warm ward. Chu You kept holding Chu Ning's hand, helping him to wipe his sweat from time to time, while Chu Ning woke up from sleep. He was relieved that every time he opened his eyes, I can always see Chu You.

"Xiaoyou..."

"What's the matter? Are you still uncomfortable?" Chu You frowned like a hill.

"It's better." Chu Ning gave a comforting smile, weak and weak.

"Why don't you call me when you're sick? Lan You and Xiaowen are always at home." Chu You began to teach with a straight face, "If you can't do it, you should know how to call, call Xi'er, Cheng'er, Jing'er, I can do it .”

"I thought it would be good to sleep." Chu Ning smiled wryly.

Seeing Chu Ning's sad look, Chu You softened his tone distressedly: "You are bored at home all day, it's no wonder you don't get sick, do you think you are a 20-year-old boy?"

"I……"

"From now on, I will go for a morning jog with me, play ball, and be more active." Chu You said without resistance.

"No need, you can spend more time with Xiao Shui." Chu Ning refused unnaturally.

"Brother, why are you so wordy." Chu You glanced helplessly at Chu Ning, helped him cover the quilt, and said softly, "Sleep, let the doctor see you again tomorrow, and you can go home if you have nothing to do."

"Okay, you can go back." Chu Ning smiled and nodded.

"No, isn't there a bed? Where can I sleep tonight?" Chu You pointed to a nursing bed next to him.

"Do not……"

"Brother, you are not too old to be so long-winded now, what will you do in the future." Chu You laughed softly, and the juniors like Chu Cheng, Chu Jing, and Chu Xi would be stunned when they saw this.

While Chu Ning buried his head in the bed in embarrassment, Chu You shook his head helplessly, helped Chu Ning fix the quilt, and kept guarding until Chu Ning fell asleep peacefully before going to the nursing bed to rest.

It's quiet and warm tonight.

The next day.

Bright wards, flowers tightly clustered.

Chu Ning woke up smelling the fragrance of flowers, feeling even more refreshed. He thought he would see Chu You when he opened his eyes, but found that only Lan You was arranging the bouquet in the room.

"Lan You? Where's your brother?" Chu Ning said it was Chu You.

"Are you awake?" Lan You looked at Chu Ning kindly, "I'm going to buy you breakfast."

"Oh……"

"Do you still remember when you two were young?" Lan You recalled the past with nostalgia, "It was also winter. That time when you fell into the lake, the eldest young master, the second young master asked for leave and took care of you all night. You two have been brothers since childhood. I really envy the old man."

Lan You is still reminiscing endlessly, but Chu Ning has long been stunned... He remembers that time when he was walking on the icy lake at school and fell off. It was Xiaoyue who picked him up, and then he just felt dazed. Someone was taking care of him all the time, he only saw Xiaoyue when he woke up, so he always thought it was Xiaoyue taking care of him all night, it turned out that it was Xiaoyou all along...

"Second Young Master took care of you all night, and he was about to break down and went to buy you breakfast." Lan You sighed.

"Then why didn't Xiaoyou come back?" Chu Ning asked anxiously, he wanted to know how much he and Chu You missed.

"Huh?" Lan You was surprised, "I also went to line up to pay the bill for you after the Second Young Master went out that day. I remember hearing a little classmate comment that there was a boy who secretly stood in front of the ward door for a while and then suddenly ran out like crazy. He also threw away the things in his hand, couldn't it be Er Shao?"

It was like a blow to the head that made Chu Ning mess up, and his eyes gradually became misty and sad.

"Perhaps it was discovered that the reason for asking for leave was false, so Er Shao hurried back to school." Lan You said with a smile, "Later, the master also found out that Er Shao used false reasons to ask for leave, so I asked him to talk to him in the study."

Chu Ning's voice trembled a little: "Xiaoyou never told me that he was trained by his father."

"It's not a training, the master is probably telling the second young master that he is the heir of the family, and he must learn to be a qualified heir." Lan You seemed to be telling an old story, his face full of nostalgia, "The youngest went out with Miss Xiaoyue for a day Now, it’s normal not to know.”

Chu Ning smiled bitterly, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and what happened later was that when he came back at night, he saw Xiaoyou holding the love letter Zuoqiuyue wrote to him and made himself very angry. He thought that Xiaoyou at that time What a rebellious child... From that day on, everything about him and Xiaoyou has been quietly changing, until today.

Looking at Chu Ning's tired and sad face, Lan You quickly said, "Are you tired, let's lie down for a while."

"Yeah." Chu Ning nodded blankly and lay down, closing her eyes tightly.

After a while, Chu You came in with breakfast, his body was covered with water stains from melting snow, and he was cold.

"Lan You, pack up your things, we'll go home after breakfast," Chu You said.

"Okay." Lan You nodded and went to pack his belongings.

Chu You put the breakfast aside and went to get the toiletries, and said softly: "Brother, get up and wash up, let's go home after breakfast."

"Okay." Chu Ning propped up his body mechanically and took the toothpaste and toothbrush to wash. He was even more afraid to look at Chu You, and the regret and self-blame in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Chu You knew that Chu Ning always looked melancholy, so he didn't ask much, seeing Chu Ning put his coat on the other party after breakfast, he hugged him without thinking.

"Brother! I can walk by myself..." Chu Ning looked at Chu You in astonishment.

"Move slowly like a turtle?" Chu You said humorously, he looked at Lan You, "Let's go."

"Don't dodge to your waist, let me down." Chu Ning was in a panic.

"Your brother, I'm not so vulnerable." Chu You smiled softly, and raised his hand to tightly hold Chu Ning who was struggling in his arms, "Brother, aren't you tired after tossing all the way?"

"Xiaoyou...brother..."

"Brother, save some strength to take care of your body."

Chu Ning was still in the flustered mess in the wind, and Chu You had already sat in the car with him in his arms, and ordered sternly, "Drive, go home."

After the words fell, the car started to gallop, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the back seat of the car gradually became stronger.

New Year's Eve, early morning

The snow is just beginning to clear, the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the servants in Chu's house are meticulously cleaning up and getting busy.

Chu You has always had the habit of running in the morning, but later he took over the company and rarely had the opportunity. Now that he is free, he naturally gets up early to exercise every day. He gets up early in the morning and puts on sportswear and knocks on the door of Chu Ning's room.

knock knock knock.

"Brother, wake up."

My brother, Chu You had nothing to shy away from, he yelled a few times and opened the door without any response. As expected, he saw that Chu Ning was still in his dream.Since his illness, the relationship between him and Chu Ning has become much more natural.

"Get up, go for a morning run with me." Chu You shook Chu Ning helplessly. Ever since Chu Ning recovered from his illness last time, Chu You has been grabbing Chu Ning to run in the morning to exercise his body whenever he has time.

"You go first...I'll go later..." Chu Ning responded vaguely and turned over.

"Brother, you're still lazy on the bed at this age." Chu You chuckled helplessly.

Chu Ning blushed a lot when he heard Chu You's chuckle, and he didn't dare to turn his head and get up.Since he came back from the hospital that day, the relationship between him and Chu You seems to have returned to his childhood childhood. He also gradually realized that Fu Shui was often not at home, and he and Chu You were not often together... This made him puzzled.

"It's fine, don't go out when it's cold today, the room is warm, don't catch a cold." Chu You sighed softly and helped Chu You tighten the quilt before leaving.

"Brother, wait for me." Chu Ning woke up suddenly and hurriedly asked to stay.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Chu You looked delighted, and walked to the side sofa to sit down.

When Chu Ning sat up, he saw Chu You quietly reading a book on the sofa waiting for him. He couldn't help but smile softly. It would be great if he could keep doing this.

*****

As soon as the two brothers came out to start their morning run, they met Chu Cheng who had already run a few laps.

"Uncle came to run this morning too?" Chu Cheng greeted Chu Ning with a smile.

"Yes, it was brought here by your father." Chu Ning said shyly.

"I also want La Muyin to come with me, but he refuses to get up, he's so lazy." Chu Cheng talked about Miuyin with tenderness.

"Are you sure he's not too tired to get up?" Chu You looked at Chu Cheng meaningfully.

"Many things." Chu Cheng gave Chu You a light look, and he looked at his watch, and it was almost time, "Dad, uncle, run away, Mu Yin should wake up, I have to go back to my room and wait for orders."

While speaking, Chu Cheng ran back to the house impatiently.

"Stinky boy, I'm not so kind to your father." Chu You looked at Chu Cheng's back and shook his head helplessly, with an expression of disrespect.

"That's great." Chu Ning sighed, thinking of his situation felt sad again.

"Brother? What's the matter?" Chu You looked at Chu Ning strangely, suddenly happy and then sad.

"Cheng'er and Miuyin, Xi'er and Xiaoyan are all very happy." Chu Ning said enviously, he glanced at Chu You unnaturally, and said bluntly, "Your brother, you and Xiaoshui, are also very happy .”

"Brother, Shui'er and I..." Chu You seemed to have something difficult to say, he frowned and hesitated to speak.

"Let's get started, it's time for breakfast later." Chu Ning interrupted Chu You's words in fear, and forced a gentle smile.

"Okay." Chu You lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Chu Ning was exhausted after just running around, but Chu You seemed like he hadn't started yet.

"I'll rest for a while...you continue..." Chu Ning was out of breath from exhaustion, struggling to hold on to the tree trunk to breathe heavily.

"I've made a lot of progress. At the beginning, you couldn't run half a circle. If you can't run, just walk around." Chu You gently supported Chu Ning into his arms, and slowly walked back to the house.

"Too tired...I'm really not suitable for this..." Chu Ning panted and waved his hands, his lips turned white, his feet were limp as if he was stepping on cotton, and he couldn't lift his strength at all. The weight of his whole body was on Chu You body.

"You, you didn't exercise when you were young, but now you don't have the energy to exercise." Chu You said helplessly.

"I'm going to rest for a while... I can't walk anymore..." Chu Ning gasped for breath and couldn't speak clearly. Breathing the biting cold air made his chest feel more uncomfortable, and his eyes were red from the wind.

"I'll carry you back, and you'll feel better when you go back to the house and eat some hot food." Chu You said softly, picked up Chu Ning, and walked back into the house with steady steps.

Chu Ning didn't have the strength to refuse, and buried his cold face in the warm embrace of the other party, no longer breathing the biting cold wind, and felt much more comfortable.

They soon returned to the warm room. Chu You put Chu Ning on the sofa to lean on, and thoughtfully poured a cup of hot water into each other's hands.

"Is it better?" Chu You smiled lightly.

"Yeah." Chu Ning seemed to be saved.

"It's too cold, so don't go next time." Chu You picked up this morning's newspaper and read it.

"It's okay, just run more." Chu Ning said quickly.

"Brother, your health is too poor, you can run when the weather is warmer." Chu You said as if chatting about family matters.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Chu Ning has always been sentimental and thoughtful, but he felt that the other party disliked him as much as he did when he was a child. He looked at Chu You and found no way to refute, so he could only bite the bullet and nod for a long time: "Yes."

The atmosphere of the two who had just warmed up the scene suddenly became cold again.

"Ayou, brother, breakfast is ready." Fu Shui's gentle voice made Chu Ning even worse, as if everything had been beaten back to its original shape.

"Shui'er, make breakfast yourself again today?" Chu You put down the newspaper and smiled.

"Well, cook something delicious for the children," Fu Shui Liwo smiled, her voice still soft and weak.

"Okay." Chu You patted Chu Ning, "Brother, breakfast is ready."

"Hmm." Chu Ning looked down at the water glass, so that no one could see his expression, but stood up stiffly.

"Let's go, brother." Chu You laughed lightly, raised his hand to hook Chu Ning's shoulder and took him away.

The two brothers have their own concerns.

And the awkward atmosphere of the whole day didn't dissipate until the New Year's Eve dinner at night.

New Year's Day

During the Chinese New Year holiday, all the servants in Chu Zhai went home on vacation, and even Lan You, the old housekeeper, went on a trip with his wife and children. The three meals a day at home could only be borne by these young masters in turn.

After lunch, Chu Ning read the newspaper alone in the living room. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw Chu Cheng going downstairs with Mu Yin in his arms, and he seemed to be going out.

"Uncle, Mu Yin and I ate outside tonight." Chu Cheng smiled brightly.

"Going out for a day?" Chu Ning was surprised. Just now, his parents went out on a date, and even Chu Jing went out on a date. Isn't that because he, Fu Shui and Chu You are the only ones at home?

"Well, uncle, let's go out for a walk too." Chu Cheng nodded, and went out with his arms around Mu Yin sweetly.

Chu Ning was a little disappointed. He looked up at a room on the second floor, which was the room of Chu You and Fu Shui. Just as he was about to look away awkwardly, he saw Chu You and Fu Shui also left the room and went downstairs.

"Brother, Shui'er and I also went out, do you really want to be alone at home?" Chu You looked at Chu Ning in embarrassment.

Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was going out, but what followed was obvious sadness and sadness. He was very contradictory - he wanted him to stay at home with him, but he was afraid of being with him.
