Lin Ai didn't tell Bai Ou in advance before he came, and he didn't know that he had gone out early in the morning until he arrived at Fu Zhai.

After finding two familiar servants to help unload the gifts from the car, Lin Ai hesitated for a few minutes before getting out of the car.

The sun in the winter morning is soft and bright, passing through his black hair and thick eyelashes, and the whole person wrapped in a thick beige down jacket has a kind of holy and pure beauty.

"Is there anyone else at home?" He pretended to ask casually while looking at the scenery not far away while walking.

"Mr. Fu is at home. He hasn't been to the company for the past few days." The servant replied very politely to him. Lin Ai used to come to Fu's house often, and they all knew that Baiou doted on his younger brother.

"Oh, that's it." Lin Ai nodded, and asked after a while, "Why hasn't President Fu been to the company these days?"

"Mr. Fu was not feeling well after returning from a business trip in T city. He stayed in the hospital for several days, and our wife went to accompany him...he was only discharged from the hospital last week."

Hearing this, Lin Ai bent the corners of her lips extremely shallowly, lowered her eyes and concentrated on looking at the steps under her feet, without saying a word.

He didn't say what he was here for, so the servant naturally didn't dare to ask more questions, he just welcomed him to the sofa in the living room, poured a cup of hot milk, and served a few plates of snacks.

These are Lin Ai's favorites in the past, but today he looks a little lacking in interest, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

After sitting quietly like this for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Ai was about to get up and go back. Before leaving, he quietly left the invitation letter on the dining table.

Thinking that it doesn't matter if it's Fu Sili or Bai Ou who sees it, so there's no need to deliberately send it to them.

The car was still parked at the door. Seeing him coming out of the house, the driver of the Sheng family got out of the car and walked around to the right to open the rear door for him.

Lin Ai thanked him with a smile, and when he was about to sit in, a deep voice came from above his head, "Lin Ai——"

He turned around and followed the sound. The man was standing on the balcony on the second floor looking down.

Fu Sili was wearing a set of pure white home clothes, with a sweater and cardigan on his shoulders. He had lost a lot of weight, and his hair was cut short, revealing deep and three-dimensional eyebrows, and a clean and vigorous vigor all over his body.

Lin Ai felt in a daze that he had seen Fu Sili when he was in college. He was no longer so cold and alienated, but was replaced by a peaceful and gentle feeling.

His hand on the car door tightened slightly, and when he was thinking about how to break the scene, Fu Sili said, "Why don't you come up?"

Lin Ai was stunned for a few seconds, but before answering, Fu Sili said again, "I happened to have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"You come up first." Fu Sili said to him in a bargaining tone, "I'll wait for you in the study."

Lin Ai stood on the spot and thought for a while, seeing that Fu Sili was still staring at him stubbornly, as if patiently waiting for a response, he nodded in agreement.

The man seemed to be relieved, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes remained glued to Lin Ai's body, until he completely disappeared under the eaves, and then slowly looked away.

After Lin Ai entered the door again, he began to regret it. When he stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor, he was even more annoyed that he had fallen into Fu Sili's trick.

What serious business can the two of them have that need to sit down and discuss it?

What's more, it's not embarrassing or embarrassing now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stop, and wanted to retreat, but just as he took a step back, he heard the sound of the door lock turning from above the stairs.

Half of Fu Sili's body had already leaned out from the study, and he was silently watching his move of trying to escape, and the line of his curved lips was gradually pursed again.

"I don't quite understand how to play the gift you gave me." After a brief silence, Lin Ai heard him say this.

His eyes shifted a little, and Lin Ai noticed that what he was holding in his hand was a set of crystal flying chess that he gave him on his birthday last time.

"Why don't you understand?" Lin Ai couldn't help laughing, and subconsciously wanted to blame, "It's very simple, didn't I teach you before..." After saying this, Lin Ai stopped suddenly, and he remembered , that was Fu Sili during the susceptible period.

But Fu Sili didn't seem to care about his reaction, and only asked him with a smile, "Then can you teach me again?"

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he added, "I will learn quickly without wasting your time."

Lin Ai can only say yes.

The gameplay of ordinary flying chess is very simple, but Lin Ai bought an advanced version, the board is intricate, and the two lines of virtual and real make him dazzled, and he was trapped in it for a while.

Lin Ai scolded himself in his heart because he was full of displeasure at the time, so he randomly chose such a difficult flying chess and gave it to Fu Sili. He thought that this person would not open it to play. He looked very interested.

Facing the English analysis of the game, Lin Ai was translating, while throwing dice with Fu Sili and moving the chess pieces step by step. When he was confused and forgot which route to choose several times, Fu Sili would always kindly remind him.

When he chose a route he didn't like to play, Fu Sili moved the chess pieces back to the original place calmly and asked him to throw the dice again.

After stumbling and playing a few times, Lin Ai realized that this person didn't seem to know how to play at all, but was very proficient. He seemed to know which route led to which ending, and from the beginning to now he didn't let Lin Ai Ai loses once.

"I'm going back." Lin Ai said to him.

Hearing this, Fu Sili's eyes moved away from the chessboard in an instant and fell on his face, as if he was afraid of missing any of his subtle movements, and his expression was a bit at a loss.

"Aren't you good at it?" He looked helplessly at the person opposite, "I don't think you are worse than me at playing."

"I won't—" Fu Sili denied, and dropped the chess pieces in his hand in a random position, and said, "Look, I don't understand it very well, and I can make mistakes...so..."

He paused, and seemed to be a little nervous, which did not escape Lin Ai's eyes.

So he looked at him suspiciously, waiting for the next sentence, but Fu Sili just lowered his voice and said, "Don't go, stay and have lunch together."

……

The cooking of Fu's maid has always been to Lin Ai's liking.

It was a long time before he stayed to eat again, and the kitchen even made his favorite dishes and soups in different ways.

When the food was all over the table, Lin Aicai and Fu Sili came down from upstairs. The room was a little dark in winter, but the dining room was brightly lit.

He sat in his usual position as usual, and Fu Sili sat opposite him, as if attracted by something, his eyes were fixed on the table.

Lin Ai looked over, and it turned out to be the pink invitation letter he brought this morning. It was very eye-catching among the pile of dishes, and the pink pattern was surprisingly vulgar.

He couldn't help blushing, and was about to reach for it, but Fu Sili picked up the envelope first.

"You brought this here?" Fu Sili asked him.

Lin Ai nodded, "Yes, this is... an invitation letter for my engagement banquet."

If he didn't say who he was with, Fu Sili probably knew it well. After all, the matter that he was marked by Sheng Yu before was considered semi-public.

Hearing this, the light in Fu Sili's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his lips were pursed. He didn't open it to look, but just put the thin paper aside.

"Let's eat first." He said lukewarmly.

The two enjoyed the lunch in front of them in silence.

The diced chicken was very tender, and the sprouts were refreshing. Lin Ai was thinking about these trivial matters absent-mindedly. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Fu Sili's right hand holding on to the chopsticks.

As if he noticed Lin Ai's eyes, he quickly switched the chopsticks to his left hand, not very skilled, but much more stable than his right hand.

Lin Ai couldn't help feeling a little puzzled. As far as he could remember, Fu Sili's right hand was always very flexible, and there had never been a situation like Parkinson's syndrome where he couldn't even hold chopsticks.

He wanted to ask about the cause of the disease, but kept the words in his throat, worried that his rash question would embarrass Fu Sili.

When he hesitated again and again, the person opposite had already put down the tableware and was watching Lin Ai quietly.

Lin Ai did not avoid his gaze, only saw his thin lips slightly parted, and asked himself in a very low and soft voice, "Did you make a decision after careful consideration?"

"what?"

"Lin Ai." Fu Sili called his name, forcing him to concentrate, and then asked softly, "Did you make the decision because of consideration, or because of the child?"

Lin Ai made eye contact with him, paused for a while, and then replied in the same voice, "They all—"

These two words were like a piece of broken ice falling into the greenhouse, which quickly cooled down the atmosphere in the restaurant.

"So," Fu Sili said first in the end, "How are you doing?"

Hearing the unexpected question, Lin Ai was taken aback for a short while, then showed his usual smile, nodded to Fu Sili, feeling that it was not enough, he said, "It's pretty good, Sheng Yu treated me well. very good."

"Really, very good to you?" Fu Sili repeated his words, and asked casually in a joking tone, "Is he the person you are going to find in Switzerland?"

But there was no smile on his expression, Lin Ai was taken aback, but still nodded, "Yes, we... have known each other for a long time, when we were studying abroad."

Fu Sili didn't ask any more questions, but just stared at him silently, and there was something in his eyes that Lin Ai couldn't understand in the past. It seemed to be contradictory and struggling, rolling and clamoring, and finally returned to calm, even faintly revealing The stock is cold.

"I see." Fu Sili said.

"I hope you will be happy." Fu Sili said again.

The palm of his right hand was casually covering the invitation letter, with the face facing up, there were several deep and shallow scars.

Lin Ai was attracted by these fresh-looking scars, and just casually said "Okay, thank you" with his eyelids down, but secretly looked at his hands from the corner of his eye.

The man kept pressing the corners of his mouth very lightly, so he didn't speak again.

Lunch ended in a quiet and eerie atmosphere.

Until Lin Ai left Fu Zhai, he still didn't quite understand the reason for Fu Sili's sudden depression.

On the way home, Sheng Yu called and asked him where he had been. Lin Ai told the truth, when the invitation letter was delivered to Fu Sili, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and a burst of laughter suddenly broke out. .

"Okay, good delivery..." Sheng Yu said with a smile.

"What's a good gift?" Lin Ai frowned, not getting out of the unhappiness of leaving Fu Zhai.

"It's nothing." Sheng Yu's smile restrained a little, "I mean, he will be happy for us too, right?"

"Maybe..." Lin Ai said hesitantly, recalling Fu Sili's behavior at the dinner table just now, "He wished me happiness."

"Oh?" Sheng Yu couldn't help laughing again, "Didn't you say wish us happiness?"

"Sheng Yu." Lin Ai called him unhappy.

"Okay, hurry home." Sheng Yu changed the subject moderately, "There are guests at home who are waiting to see you..."

"Who?"

"Come back, I'm on my way."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Yu hung up the phone first.

Lin Ai thought about the guests who could come to see him at this time. Except for the relatives of Sheng Yu's family, there should be no one else. Thinking of this, he relaxed a little.

After all, the guests of the Sheng family were all accompanied by Sheng Yu, so he just had to go through the motions.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Sheng's house, what he saw was an unexpected guest.

The man looked at him with a slightly sullen face, pretending not to know him, but blinked at him a few times from a perspective that others could not see.

Lin Ai couldn't help laughing, as soon as he smiled, Sheng Hua's majestic eyes passed over, he had to lower his head, not daring to look around.

Why is he here?

The earth is indeed a sphere, and we will meet again after going around.

But good luck always follows bad luck.

While meeting acquaintances, Lin Ai also welcomed a few unfamiliar faces.

Wei Dai looked at him with disdain.

His eyes, like a venomous tongue spitting out a letter, were sticky and cold.
