Ji's Villa.

Extensive lawn outside.

There are many people and it is very lively.

Elder Ji was stunned to turn the family banquet into a small banquet. Apart from He Linghan's family of four, Lu Xiu who was homeless on New Year's Day, and two distant relatives of Ji's family.

Aunt Zhou was too busy, the part-time workers she hired were still on the way, Ji Yingxian was arrested by Mr. Ji to help, other people came in groups, Mr. Ji dealt with it from time to time.

Ji Yingxian put on an apron and stood by the oven, flipping the skewers with his hands from time to time, but his eyes were fixed on someone in the crowd not far away.

That man was being stalked by a cute little girl. The little girl took his hand, smiled sweetly, and said "beautiful brother" in one mouthful.

The beautiful young man who let her make a fuss smiled helplessly, but it didn't stop the little girl from holding his hand, and even nodded her cheek with a smile.

At this time, the little girl was hugged away, and someone took her place, her brother.

The two of them were sitting next to each other on the big balcony outside the living room, both of them had outstanding appearances, and they looked very suitable.

Ji Yingxian's face darkened, and he didn't notice that the skewers under his hands were burnt by the flames.

"cough."

Someone beside him coughed lightly, and something hard poked his back knee.

Ji Yingxian turned his head in displeasure, and saw the mahogany cane that lightly hit his knee.

Mr. Ji pointed to the oven, "Be serious, the beef is almost burnt."

Ji Yingxian snorted coldly, his face full of displeasure.

He flipped the skewers unhappily, and his eyes couldn't help looking there.

Qin Ning and He Linghan were very close. They were talking, but there was a certain distance. He couldn't hear what they were saying. He only felt that they were sitting on the bench together, and they seemed very familiar.

He had a forbearing face, but he hesitated in his steps, as if he really wanted to go there.

Aunt Zhou, who was arranging the ingredients next to her, glanced at Mr. Ji, then at Ji Yingxian, and said, "Ying Xian, let me do it."

She saw that Ying Xian wanted to go to Xiao Ning's place, and she really wanted to.

Old Master Ji resisted, saying, "He should learn how to expand his strength."

"It's not what a man should do to hold on to something that isn't his own."

There is something in Mr. Ji's words. Aunt Zhou doesn't quite understand it, but some people do.

The corners of Ji Yingxian's mouth were straightened, his heart seemed to be tightened, he held the skewers for a long time, and abruptly turned his gaze back.

As everyone said, since he voluntarily gave up on Qin Ning, he shouldn't pay too much attention to him.

He shouldn't have looked at Qin Ning.

Elder Ji glanced at his grandson's expression, lightly thumped his lower back, stood up straight with his crutches, and walked slowly towards the crowd.

After he left, those who were also helping at the side came over to gossip.

"Brother Xian, who is talking to the He family over there? Is it your ex-fiance?"

"The person who was talking to him had a cold expression on his face, but they are a good match. It looks like he won't pester you anymore, so you can rest assured hahaha."

Ji Yingxian: "..."

Suddenly, two arrows were shot in the heart, and the blood flowed out.

He was even more frustrated.

The person who spoke was Ji Yingxian's distant cousin, named Ji You, who went to university in Bincheng, and it was New Year's Day, so he didn't go back, so Mr. Ji called him and his partner to come over for a get-together.

After Ji You finished speaking, he saw his cousin cast a resentful look at him, and said coldly: "Don't talk, you can donate to those who need it."

Ji You: "???"

Leaving these words behind, Ji Yingxian stuffed him with a skewer, and strode over there with a little haste.

Ji You looked at his cousin with a dazed face, and he elbowed the tall young man next to him.

"What do you mean by my cousin... Ugh!"

A piece of Sydney was stuffed into his mouth by the person next to him, who looked at him with a smile, "I think you should talk less and do more."

Ji You: "???"

He swallowed the pear whole and called out to the young man, "Zhao Ruian, what do you mean?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders, but didn't answer, instead, he looked over Ji You's shoulder and looked at the play.

Ji You didn't know why, so he followed his line of sight.

the other side.

He Linghan pinned his sister's head to prevent her from breaking free, and then ran to cling to Qin Ning.

This little girl is a big kid, she is full of face control, she saw Qin Ning at the gate of Ji's house, pushed him away and ran to pester Qin Ning for more than an hour.

After being forcibly broken apart, He Xiaoxiao grabbed He Linghan's arm, but that arm was as immovable as reinforced concrete, and she hurriedly called out to Qin Ning.

"Beautiful brother, save me quickly."

He Linghan was so quarreled by her that he threw her to Mother He.

Not being annoying, He Linghan pinched the center of his brows and let out a long sigh of relief. What he couldn't stand the most was this little girl making a fuss.

Qin Ning: "..."

He Linghan put down his hands, and said truthfully: "She is really noisy."

Qin Ning couldn't help laughing, even though He Linghan disliked He Xiaoxiao in his words, when he hugged her away, he acted lightly, obviously caring about this younger sister.

He Linghan was also embarrassed and coughed lightly.

This is the first time they have sat together and chatted peacefully.

He Linghan said, "Are the apples delicious?"

He said this abruptly, and Qin Ning looked at him blankly.

Seeing his expression, He Linghan thought that he might not have returned to the hospital recently, and felt faintly disappointed.

Gradually getting in touch with Qin Ning, he also realized that he had misunderstood Qin Ning earlier. Qin Ning was not as arrogant and rude as rumored. On the contrary, he had a calm personality, was kind to others, and had a cool temperament that no one else had.

What made him even more embarrassing was that Qin Ning didn't have that kind of meaning towards him at all. From the beginning to the end, he was just being self-indulgent.

If it wasn't for Li Wei to wake him up, he would even have mistakenly thought it was going on.

Before Qin Ning could answer his last question, He Linghan said again: "Qin Ning, I sincerely apologize for what I said to you."

Qin Ning: "?"

Qin Ning asked, "What apology?"

He Linghan said sincerely: "I misunderstood you when I first met you in the hospital. I'm sorry."

In the past 20 years, he has rarely apologized for his wrong words. Apart from his family, he never cares about how others talk about him, but Qin Ning is the only one.

He regretted what he said to Qin Ning.

Qin Ning smiled indifferently, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."

He Linghan was taken aback.

He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing Qin Ning's words, his heart was empty and he was a little panicked.

Qin Ning didn't take it seriously, which also showed that he didn't care about his own opinion, in other words, he didn't have that kind of admiration for him.

He Linghan's heart became even colder.

He always had a handsome face, but it wasn't obvious.

From what he said earlier, Qin Ning probably guessed that He Linghan had sent someone to deliver apples to him on Christmas Eve.

He said: "Thank you for the apples. I'm not in the hospital these days. I didn't know you sent the apples. I'll ask Wang Hai to collect them tomorrow."

The words were polite and thoughtful, but also polite and distant.

He Linghan suppressed the soreness in his heart, and said: "If you like to eat, you can tell me, and I will ask Li Wei to send it to you."

Qin Ning smiled and was about to reply when someone's voice intervened in the conversation.

"He likes to eat apples, and Ji's family has them too, not bad for yours."

The two were taken aback for a moment, then turned their heads following the sound.

Ji Yingxian was standing one meter away, arms crossed shoulders, lazily leaning on the swing, looking over with his eyelids lifted, the emotions in his gray-blue pupils were difficult to see through in the dark night.

He held a loose posture, his brows were full of arrogance and arrogance, and the actual sleeve edge had already been pinched a few folds.

Ji Yingxian took a plate of barbecue and food, walked over a few steps, and forced his way between the two of them.

"He Linghan, here it is."

Ji Yingxian took a bunch of fragrant charcoal-grilled pork belly, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and garnished with finely chopped shallots, which looked very tempting.

Of course, this is for people who love to grill.

The two have been rivals for many years, so Ji Yingxian naturally knows whether He Linghan likes barbecue or not.

Sure enough, as soon as the smoky smell approached, he quickly backed away.

That was his instinctive reaction, but this retreat happened to move out of the middle position.

Without realizing it, Ji Yingxian straddled the wooden chair with long legs, and Shi Shiran sat down.

He Linghan's face darkened for a second, staring at Ji Yingxian who was sitting in the middle with his cold eyes, his face was full of gloom.

It was strange that Ji Yingxian could take care of him, turned around and handed Qin Ning a cup of warm yogurt, stuffed it into his hand, but noticed that Qin Ning's hand was cold.

He frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Before Qin Ning could answer, Ji Yingxian took out two brand new coral fleece gloves from the pocket under the apron.

He stuffed it to Qin Ning, "Here."

These gloves were prepared for Qin Ning, and they had been lying in his pockets when he met Qin Ning at the door.

Qin Ning squeezed the soft and warm coral fleece gloves, lowered her eyebrows, and smiled slightly, her heart that was frozen by the night wind suddenly warmed up.

Ji Yingxian touched the tip of his nose, and said duplicity: "I can't use it after buying it, so I will use it for you."

The coral fleece gloves are light gray, and the size is also Qin Ning's, so naturally he couldn't buy them for himself.

Qin Ningxin said, this excuse is too lame.

He said "hmm" and slowly put on the gloves.

After staying outdoors for a while, my hands and feet were indeed frozen as if they were frozen.

He Linghan next to him saw him blatantly pulling Qin Ning's hand and giving him gloves, his face turned colder, and at the same time he felt regretful.

It was clear that he was by Qin Ning's side, but he didn't realize this in time.

He raised his hand to untie the scarf for Qin Ning, but someone was quicker, unzipped the velvet home jacket, put his arms around it, and put it on for Qin Ning.

Qin Ning whispered "No need".

Ji Yingxian happened to hear it, so he said: "Go in if you are afraid of the cold, and force yourself to do something outdoors, your body is not resistant to the cold."

This was said so intimately that Ji Yingxian didn't even realize it.

He Linghan listened to it, and his heart was even more blocked.

He didn't like to smile at all, but now the corners of his mouth were even more drooping.

Ji Yingxian sent yogurt, gloves and a coat, and left after finishing his work. Before leaving, he stepped on He Linghan's leather shoes by the revolving door.

He didn't step on it so hard that it wouldn't hurt, but He Linghan has a cleanliness habit, so he couldn't stand the dust on the toes of his shoes.

Qin Ning who saw the whole process: "..."

Is this person a primary school student?

He Linghan bent down with a bad face, and wiped the footprints on his toes. The napkin was not easy to wipe, and he wiped it several times, but it still didn't get clean.

Qin Ning handed him a wet tissue, and He Linghan wiped the uppers of his shoes.

He Linghan pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."

Qin Ning shook his head, "It's his fault, is your foot okay, does it hurt?"

He Linghan shook his head.

He was a guest anyway, Ji Yingxian wouldn't really step on him, but just deliberately made him feel bad.

Seeing his denial, Qin Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

He Linghan sat up straight and wanted to say something, but seeing Qin Ning biting the straw and slowly drinking yogurt, he couldn't help clenching his hands secretly.

He was always one step slower.

Father He, who watched for a long time not far away, couldn't take it anymore, talked to Mr. Ji, walked over from there, and called He Linghan away under the pretext of.

He Linghan looked at his father, not wanting to refute his face on the spot, so he was forced to get up and follow him.

As soon as he left, Lu Xiu stood next to Qin Ning on his back and brought him a cup of hot drink.

Qin Ning was drinking yogurt and declined the drink offered by Lu Xiu.

In fact, the main reason is that he doesn't like to drink very sweet drinks.

It's not embarrassing for Lu Xiu to be rejected, anyway, his skin has always been as thick as a city wall.

Qin Ning himself was wearing home clothes, and now he was wearing a dark gray home clothes jacket, and this one was obviously two sizes too big, making him look like a tightly wrapped rice dumpling.

Lu Xiu looked at the two clothes that looked like a couple's outfit, frowned imperceptibly, and then smiled as usual.

He asked, "Whose clothes do you own?"

Qin Ning stopped drinking the yogurt and said, "Ji Yingxian."

Lu Xiu's face changed for a moment, but he always had a hippie smile, and he was an actor with strong expression control, so it was difficult to see emotions from his expression.

Lu Xiu smiled, "Really."

Qin Ning said, "Do you have something to do?"

Lu Xiu: "..."

Lu Xiu brushed his long curly hair, looked at Qin Ning with piercing eyes, and asked with a smile, "Can I call you if I'm fine?"

Qin Ning said, "We don't know each other very well."

Unspoken.

Their friendship is not that deep, and there is nothing to talk about when they meet.

Lu Xiu smiled slightly.

Qin Ning ate the yogurt slowly and said, "Your friend is over there."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to Ji Yingxian who was busy with barbecue not far away.

Lu Xiu: "..."

Qin Ning bypassed him and looked indoors.

The temperature outside is too low, and the yogurt in my hand is almost cold.

Lu Xiu turned around and looked at Qin Ning's back as he entered the door, his smile faded, and he sighed softly.

He was about to look for Ji Yingxian, when a figure flashed in front of him, a young man with delicate features came out from nowhere.

Ji You took the small book and said excitedly: "Lu Xiu! I, I, I am your fan, can you sign, give me an autograph?"

He was so excited that he stuttered at a sentence.

Lu Xiu immediately showed a business smile, "Okay."

After he signed Ji You's name, Ji You happily turned to leave, but Lu Xiu called him again.

Ji You: "?"

Lu Xiu coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think of me?"

Ji You said a little shyly: "This... well, you are fine, but I have a partner."

God, I have a partner.

Lu Xiu was suddenly issued a good person card, and his expression froze for a few seconds.

He said: "That's not what I mean, what I mean is, who do you think is better than your cousin?"

Ji You said "Oh" inexplicably disappointed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Only in terms of temper, Brother Xian is indeed very tempered, who dares to have a worse temper than him, but in terms of sincerity, I admire him a lot. "

"Sincerely, who is he sincerely in love with?"

Just as Ji You was about to answer, someone grabbed his back collar and was forced to keep silent.

He looked back, it was Zhao Rui'an who came.

Before he finished speaking, Ji You was dragged away by him.

Lu Xiu and the young man who dragged Ji You away looked at each other, and the man smiled at him with an unclear meaning.

Lu Xiu smiled back politely.

He Linghan was pulled away by He's father to a place away from the crowd.

Father He's usual smiling face turned cold at this moment.

"What were you doing just now?"

Father He questioned.

He Linghan straightened his cuffs and replied: "As you can see, chase him."

Hearing this, Father He couldn't catch his breath, and almost pinched himself to breathe.

"you you you……"

He pointed at his son with shaking fingers, his eyes full of anger, but he didn't know what to say.

"You" for a long while, but no more "you".

In the end, Father He gave up on himself and asked, "Then what about my grandson?"

He Linghan said: "You are not only my son, you also have a daughter, He Xiaosaki. I don't have one, but she always has one."

Father He: "..."

He couldn't refute this sophistry.

Father He's eyes dimmed for a moment, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why did this good-looking son bend so quietly, how he didn't notice at all.

He Linghan didn't notice his father's strangeness, and said: "No matter what the final result is, I hope you don't intervene, let alone try to persuade Qin Ning to refuse to accept me. His attitude is not important to me. I am chasing him, not him. chasing me."

Father He: "..."

It has actually been said.

Father He didn't say anything about it.

After He Linghan left these words, he was about to return to the lawn in the front hall.

Father He instinctively felt that something was wrong, subconsciously stopped He Linghan, and said: "You are wrong, how old is Xiaosaki now, when she gives birth to grandchildren for me, I have to wait until when, whether I can live to that time depends It's an unknown."

"It's really not possible, you can freeze the sperm, and after a few years, with the development of technology, you can regenerate one."

"what??"

Father He didn't turn the corner for a while.

He Linghan didn't give him time to understand and digest, so he bypassed Father He and left directly.

Father He stayed where he was for a few minutes, before he realized what it meant.

This, this kid is trying to piss him off!

What he wants are grandchildren, not sons and daughters!

He was angry, and when he turned around, he saw his little daughter looking for her with a lollipop in her mouth.

He Saki called out "Dad" in a waxy voice, with a little confusion at the end.

Father He's old father's heart immediately melted, and in response, he hurriedly handed over his hand to his precious daughter.

Qin Ning was sitting in the living room reading a book. After reading for some time, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep leaning on the armrest unconsciously.

When Lu Xiu opened the floor-to-ceiling window and came in, Qin Ning leaned on the sofa pillow, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

The sound outside seemed to be cut off, and the room was quiet and silent. The warm orange light softly spread over Qin Ning's side face, casting shadows.

Qin Ning slept peacefully, with a book on her lap, and folded her hands to hold the corner of the book to prevent it from slipping.

He was huddled in that loose home coat, the indoor temperature was moderate, his fair cheeks were reddish, like a sleeping white cat.

Lu Xiu's peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, and he couldn't help smiling.

At this moment, the blanket on Qin Ning's lap slid down.

Lu Xiu walked over quietly, knelt down to help him pull it back, and covered it again.

He half squatted in front of Qin Ning, looking at Qin Ning.

The two were very close, and the soft orange light spread on Qin Ning's face. There was a little yogurt on the bridge of his straight nose, which got on it somehow.

Lu Xiu reached out his hand out of nowhere, and gently wiped the tip of his nose, wiping away the yogurt.

He wiped off the yogurt on the back of his finger on the napkin, but his eyes fell on Qin Ning's face, and he was reluctant to move away an inch.

He obviously didn't have that kind of thought about Qin Ning at first, but at some point, his heart seemed to change.

The moment he reached out his hand, the relationship between him and Ji Yingxian was bound to change.

However, he would.

Knowing that this person cannot be approached and touched, he still wants to get close to him. Every time he gets close, he greedily wants to get closer, even closer.

Even thinking, if this person could belong to him.

belongs only to him...

"what are you doing."

Sen Leng asked softly from behind.

The volcanic magma-like fury was as real as it was, and it was as if a sharp knife had gouged out his back, causing burning pain.

Lu Xiuqu started, and slowly put it down.

He stood up and turned to face Ji Yingxian.

Ji Yingxian stared at him coldly, and asked word by word: "Let me ask you, what were you doing just now?"

He suppressed his anger with these words, his gray-blue eyes stared at Lu Xiu tightly, his masseter muscles tensed.

Lu Xiu chuckled, but did not explain.

"You are what you see."

Ji Yingxian stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Lu Xiu by the collar, his eyes were full of cruelty.

"he's mine……"

The voice stopped here.

Lu Xiu clasped Ji Yingxian's wrist with his backhand, still smiling, "You've realized it too."

Ji Yingxian didn't speak, his face was ugly.

Lu Xiu opened Ji Yingxian's hands one by one, and unhurriedly straightened the wrinkled neckline.

He said: "You also realize that he is no longer your fiancé."

"You are not qualified to occupy him now, he is not yours alone, I have the right to like him."

"Ying Xian, don't say I didn't remind you, between the two of us, do you think he will choose someone who abandoned him?"

"Whether you admit it or not, at the dinner party, he was so angry that he vomited blood and was hospitalized. If it was more unfortunate, he might not be here. Do you think he will still choose you?"

These words were like a sharp weapon, piercing Ji Yingxian's heart hard, dripping with blood.

His whole body also seemed to be bluntly hit, and he took half a step back.

This has always been something he didn't dare to think about. He didn't dare to think about whether Qin Ning hated him. He didn't dare to think about how painful Qin Ning was when he was almost killed by him.

I dare not think about all the things I have done to him in the past.

Ji Yingxian clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white due to excessive force.

Lu Xiu bent down to hug Qin Ning, but was stopped by Ji Yingxian.

"Don't touch him."

Ji Yingxian grabbed his hand with such strength that it seemed that he wanted to crush Lu Xiu's hand.

Lu Xiu turned to look at him, saw that his eyes were bloodshot, and his smile was a little colder, so he withdrew his hand suddenly.

He said: "If you miss the old love, don't pester him, it's good for both of you."

Ji Yingxian's lips moved, and the words of rejection were ready to come out.

But in the end he didn't say it.

Lu Xiu still wanted to hug Qin Ning back to the bedroom, but was stopped by Ji Yingxian again.

Lu Xiu asked, "What do you mean?"

Ji Yingxian suppressed the ambivalence in his heart and said, "You are not needed."

The two argued for a few words, just as everyone entered the living room through another small door, preparing to leave Ji's house.

Lu Xiu refrained from this thought, and left with the He family.

After everyone left, Ji Yingxian bent down and carefully lifted Qin Ning from the sofa, trying to carry him back to the bedroom.

Qin Ning was afraid of the cold, so he left his warm home coat, unconsciously grabbed Ji Yingxian's front, leaned his face over, rubbed his face like a cat, and continued to sleep.

Ji Yingxian's heart was sour and astringent, but he couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness.
