New Year's Eve.
After dinner, Aunt Zhou put all kinds of snacks prepared on the coffee table.
The family sat around the living room and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Mr. Ji sat alone on the single sofa next to him, Aunt Zhou also sat on the other single sofa, and Mrs. Ji and his wife sat side by side in the middle.
Ji Yingxian and Qin Ning were sitting on the armrest of the sofa, two arms apart, not close, but not far.
The Spring Festival Gala is showing comedy sketches.
Ji's mother silently shifted her gaze from the TV to the side, and quietly landed in the direction of Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian, seeing that they were both watching the program.
The show was at its most exciting point, with a lot of laughs, and the whole family was amused.
Qin Ning couldn't help pursing the corners of her mouth and smiling slightly.
Ji Yingxian turned his head and looked at Qin Ning, his eyes were extremely tender, it was an expression he had never seen before, before Qin Ning noticed it, he hurriedly turned his face away.
Witnessing the whole process, Ji's mother covered her lips and smiled, as if she had discovered something particularly strange and interesting, and looked at her son from time to time.
The family has different visions.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Mr. Ji was very sleepy. Aunt Zhou first helped him take the elevator upstairs and go back to his room to rest.
When Aunt Zhou went downstairs, she didn't continue to watch the Spring Festival Gala. After washing up, she went back to her bedroom.
Ji's father was also quite busy during the Chinese New Year. Before Mr. Ji went upstairs, he went back to his bedroom to sleep. Now in the living room on the first floor, there are three people left: Ji's mother, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian.
Ji's mother wanted to stay a little longer to see how her silly son behaved, but his son looked at her several times with resentful eyes, and she couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to go upstairs.
Now there are only Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian in the living room.
Qin Ning is in good spirits and has been watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Before wearing the book, he would watch the Spring Festival Gala every New Year's Eve and watch the New Year's Eve. At first, he was accompanied by his grandfather. Later, when his grandfather passed away, he spent the long New Year's Eve alone.
It seems that he hasn't spent New Year's Eve with others for a long time.
Qin Ning felt touched, and turned to look at Ji Yingxian.
Ji Yingxian was sneaking a glance at Qin Ning's side face, when he turned around suddenly, he was so startled that he had no time to dodge, and stared blankly at Qin Ning's quiet black eyes.
Qin Ning asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yingxian's heart was full of turmoil, but his face quickly calmed down, "I, I want to ask you, do you want something to drink?"
Qin Ning looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Ji Yingxian coughed lightly, and said, "It's cold, drink some hot drinks to keep you warm, fruit tea and hot milk, what would you like to drink?"
Qin Ning hesitated and said, "Then... let's warm up the milk."
Ji Yingxian: "Okay."
Wen family.
Corridor on the third floor.
Wen Ci stopped in front of a certain room door and gently knocked on the wooden door.
There was a weak echo of lack of air in the room.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Wen Ci replied "Okay", held the wooden tray with one hand, pushed the door and entered.
Father Wen was wearing home clothes and was sitting on the single sofa in front of the window reading a book. When he heard footsteps, he turned his head.
"A Ci, why are you?"
He was slightly surprised.
It is the family's old nanny Liu Ma who usually delivers the medicine.
Wen Ci said in a gentle voice: "Brother is ill, let Madam Liu help him."
His voice has always been warm and mellow, his speech is slow, his accent is soft, and he has a natural affinity.
Father Wen nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
Seeing that the tray was carefully placed on the coffee table, Wen Ci sat down slowly.
Father Wen closed the book, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wen Ci on the opposite side. Seeing his gentle face, he turned his head and showed a fatherly smile.
"Ah Ci, I am sick like a mountain. I am afraid it will be difficult to protect you two brothers. While I can restrain the old people in the company, you go abroad to escape for a few years. After the company's structure is stable, I will bring you back."
After Wen Ci listened silently, he smiled softly, "Which country does father think is suitable to go to?"
Father Wen took the documents from the side cabinet, put them in front of Wen Ci, and said: "The company is new to the project in Africa, and it is expected to set up a branch there in the future, or cooperate with the company there. Go there, first." Check out."
Wen Ci didn't even look at it, and smiled warmly.
"Since my father thinks Africa is suitable, then I will go to Africa."
Father Wen smiled in satisfaction, "Compared with Wen Yi, Ah Ci is indeed more knowledgeable about the general situation, and the time is tight. I will ask the secretary to buy the ticket after the next year, and you should prepare it in advance."
Wen Ci smiled back slightly, "Okay."
After a few more pleasantries, Father Wen told Wen Ci to rest earlier and let him go out.
Wen Ci smiled and closed the door of the room. The moment he avoided the line of sight from the room, his expression froze, his smile disappeared, and his amber eyes were cold.
He turned and went downstairs, back to his room, but stopped when passing by a certain room.
A glass flew out of the half-closed door with a "swoosh" and hit the wall where the wallpaper was pasted. It almost collided with the wall lamp and narrowly missed.
Wen Ci picked up the intact glass and slowly stood up.
There was a roar of fury in the room.
"Do you want to burn me to death!"
"I can't do this well, what's the use of raising you! You might as well go back to the countryside and go to Zhongtian!"
The extremely humiliating words attacked every sentence, and the old nanny panicked and dropped the sentence "I'll adjust the water temperature again", and hurried out of the room, just in time to bump into Wen Ci.
The old nanny's eyes were red, and when she saw Wen Ci, she called out "Second Young Master" in a low voice.
She yelled very softly, the second young master in the room could not be seen, You Qi came back from the hospital, whenever he heard these three words, his eyes turned red with hatred.
Wen Ci nodded slightly, and said, "Mother Liu, come up later, I'll have a few words with elder brother."
Mama Liu knew that he was helping her, so she wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded and said "thank you", then hurried downstairs, turned the corner of the corridor, and looked back at Wen Ci.
The eldest young master used to have a bad temper, but after the amputation, it got worse. Few of the servants in the family dared to approach him, so he got angry, ranging from insulting to throwing things at others.
Most secretly think of resigning and changing owners.
Now that the first young master is not going well, he will get angry at others. How can he have the character of a wealthy family? On the contrary, the second young master is gentle and courteous, and he is better than the above one in terms of dealing with people.
In her heart, the old nanny demoted Wen Yi to nothing.
And here.
Wen Ci stopped in front of the door, looked down at the glass in his hand, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The response from the interior was rather impatient.
"Come in."
Wen Ci walked into the room slowly, closed the door with a "da" and locked it.
When this villa was first renovated, sound insulation was considered. Whether it is walls or solid wood doors, they are all double-layer structures, and the sound insulation effect is particularly strong.
There was only one bedside wall lamp on in the room, and the light was dim.
Wen Ci slowly entered someone's field of vision.
With a sullen face, Wen Yi was wrapping a bandage on his broken leg.
After the amputation, he immediately contacted the most famous foreign institution to customize the prosthesis. It is still in the running-in period, and the position of the fracture is very uncomfortable.
Because of the daily unhappiness, his temper is getting more and more irritable now.
"Big brother."
The warm voice sounded unhurriedly.
Wen Yi turned his head suddenly, his face was livid, and he didn't even have time to get angry, and asked: "Who let you in, get out!"
He hurriedly covered up the condition on his leg, embarrassed and frightened.
With a gentle smile, "It seems that the eldest brother is gradually adapting to the prosthesis, how is it going?"
Wen Yi grabbed the water glass next to the bed and slammed it at Wen Ci.
Wen Ci caught it in the air, and slowly placed it on the side cabinet, with gentle eyebrows and a smile on his lips.
It's ridiculous, but it doesn't reach the eyes, and there is even a hint of irony that is not easy to detect.
"I tell you to get out!"
"You are a bitch, just like your mother. She is a bitch to be a third party, and you are a bitch to stay in Wen's house. You have been shameless for so many years! Shameless!"
"Get out!"
Wen Ci was not annoyed at all, and asked calmly: "Brother, did the doctor tell you that you should avoid anger when you are sick?"
"roll!!"
Wen Yi was trembling with anger, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his molars were clenched tightly, he really wanted to strangle this bitch to death!
Wen Ci looked around the room, and then fell back on Wen Yi, his expression as calm and breezy as ever.
He took a few steps closer, getting closer to Wen Yi.
Wen Yi clenched his fists faintly, his eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to take advantage of Wen Ci's inattention and rush to bite his throat.
But Wen Ci stood still one meter away, with a faint smile on his face.
"Brother, it was your left leg that was broken."
Wen Yi's fists were suddenly clenched even tighter, and his joints were ringing.
Wen Ci smiled as usual, "It's a pity, my mother broke her legs back then, and it was almost the same, you are the same."
Wen Yi's face turned pale, and he looked at Wen Ci in horror.
Wen Ci's appearance was clear and handsome, staring at him with a light smile made Wen Yi feel cold all over for no reason.
He got up and went into the kitchen. Not long after, he came with two cups, one was a ceramic milk cup with light white and gold, and the other was a glass with lemon slices and ice balls.
He put the milk cup in front of Qin Ning, "It's a bit hot, be careful."
Qin Ning thanked him, then saw him drinking the ice water, and asked, "Is the ice lemonade cold or sour?"
Unconsciously, Ji Yingxian said, "I'm used to it."
He has kept this habit for seven years and has never changed it. The ups and downs tasted by his taste buds are the same for him, but the hot and cold are different.
Qin Ning gave an "um" and turned to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ji Yingxian also accompanied him indifferently, without going back to the bedroom to rest first.
It was nearly eleven forty.
The mobile phones of the two people rang one after another, and they were all messages from other people's blessing WeChat.
Mostly Ji Yingxian sent it from a business partner, but Qin Ning did not.
Qin Ning received blessings from Nurse Lin and Wang Haifa. They both sent at the same time, so they must be together.
The other few text messages were from Lu Xiu and He Linghan. They did not have Qin Ning's WeChat ID, so they sent them via SMS. Finally, Qin Ning received Shen Jianxi's New Year's greetings on WeChat.
Shen Jianxi attached a few pictures of cats in the snow, as well as a photo of him and the cats. At the bottom of the picture was a message, to the effect that he wanted to ask Qin Ning to watch the snow together.
The mind is clear.
Qin Ning declined, Shen Jianxi sent a long series of crying emoticons, making Qin Ning dumbfounded.
Ji Yingxian next to him was not in the mood to flip through his phone at all, his gaze was fixed on Qin Ning, seeing Qin Ning's lips raised, his heart was sore.
Why is he laughing?
Who sent him the message and what?
Is it He Linghan, or Lu Xiu, or Shen Jianxi and Kiko, or...Wen Ci?
Wen Ci, Wen Ci again.
What's so good about the white cut black of the middle mouth honey belly sword?I'm afraid he didn't even know that he was quietly plotting and using it.
Ji Yingxian stared at Qin Ning closely, his gaze was as real as it was impossible to ignore.
"Wen Ci sent you a message?"
Ji Moumou asked sourly.
Qin Ning looked up, "?"
The corners of Ji Yingxian's mouth were straightened, he just stared at Qin Ning, without saying a word.
Qin Ning said "um", Wen Ci did send him a message.
Seeing that he responded to these words, Ji Yingxian's face changed slightly, and his mood took a sharp turn, as if he had fallen into a cold valley.
Qin Ning didn't notice anything strange about him, and was lowering her head to reply to Mr. Shen and Lao Qian's message. As soon as she typed a line, she received a WeChat message from [xian].
He was taken aback.
After sending the message, Qin Ning switched to the chat interface with Ji Yingxian, and ten red envelopes popped up without stopping.
Qin Ning replied with a question mark, then looked up at Ji Yingxian.
He asked: "Ji Yingxian, why are you giving me a red envelope?"
Ji Yingxian successfully interrupted others looking for Qin Ning, feeling secretly refreshed, and said with raised eyebrows, "New Year's money."
Qin Ning: "???"
Ji Yingxian hummed lightly, and urged: "You are not allowed to talk to others, hurry up and get it, and you will receive New Year's money at zero, it is best to give it to New Year's Eve."
Qin Ning didn't know how he came up with this unreasonable reasoning. After being urged by him many times, he didn't care to reply to others, so he had to collect the red envelopes one by one.
Ji Yingxian's red envelopes were divided into small amounts, and they were sent out a lot, and they sent out another WeChat account. Qin Ning didn't finish receiving them until he was about to fall asleep.
Ji Moumou's scheme succeeded, and he carried the sleeping Qin Ning upstairs with a smile.
Years passed quickly.
Qin Ning originally thought that he would return to Lushan Mountain after the fifteenth day, but Ji Yingxian took him out again that day, keeping secret about his destination.
Until the car drove on the expressway around the city, it drove farther and farther.
Qin Ning asked, "Ji Yingxian, where are we going?"
Ji Ying replied: "You will know soon."
Qin Ning: "..."
Indeed, Qin Ning soon found out.
They came to the Hanfu Lantern Festival held in Central Park.
Ji Yingxian took out two paper bags from the trunk, carried them to Qin Ning's side, and said, "Let's go, change clothes."
Qin Ning: "???"
Qin Ning was puzzled, "What clothes should I change into?"
Ji Yingxian's bright eyebrows were full of smiles, he didn't answer Qin Ning's words, just held his hand and led him to the entrance of the ancient city.
Qin Ning was confused by Ji Yingxian's actions.
The two walked through the buildings of pavilions and buildings, and soon walked into a high-end homestay. The architectural style was partial to the Hui family, with simple decoration and classic beauty.
The front desk led the two into the separate courtyard next to them, introduced the facilities and other things in the house with a smile, and left through the gate.
Ji Yingxian put down the paper bag, raised his eyebrows and said, "Qin Ning, take off your clothes quickly."
Qin Ning: "???"
Qin Ning had a complicated expression, "What are you doing undressing?"
Ji Yingxian reacted for two seconds, and realized that the words had their own color, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but red and hot.
"I, I didn't mean that. I want you to change into this Hanfu after taking off your clothes."
When he explained, he spoke so fast and anxiously that he almost bit his own tongue.
Qin Ning chuckled, "I understand."
After finishing speaking, Qin Ning raised his hand to unbutton the horns and took off his coat.
He was wearing an apricot-colored cashmere sweater and a white shirt, which made his complexion as cold and white as snow. There was floor heating in the room, and his complexion was flushed.
"Do you want to take this off?"
A question suddenly sounded.
Ji Yingxian gathered his thoughts back and turned to look at him.
Qin Ning was lifting up half of his clothes, revealing half of his snow-white waist, looking at him with dark eyes filled with water vapor, like a bright red plum blossom in the snow.
After two seconds.
Mr. Ji's nose was hot and itchy.
Qin Ning put down his hands, and said in surprise, "Ji Yingxian...you have a nosebleed again."
He immediately handed over a clean napkin.
Boss Ji took the paper stupidly, held it in his hand, but didn't wipe it, and let Qin Ning lift his feet to help.
When Qin Ning moved his hand away, Ji Yingxian grabbed it suddenly and gently circled it.
He stared at Qin Ning fiercely, the bottom of his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"Qin Ning, I..."
"Stop talking, nosebleeds are about to drip into your mouth."
Qin Ning interrupted him.
Ji Yingxian: "..."
The two worked hard for half an hour to completely stop the nosebleed.
Qin Ning picked up the Hanfu and went into the bedroom to change.
Ji Yingxian looked at the closed door, feeling a little disappointed.
Realizing what he was thinking, Mr. Ji's cheeks were slightly hot, hugging his Hanfu, and hurried into the next room to change.
Ji Yingxian didn't know much about Hanfu, so he asked Liu Xun to find someone familiar with Hanfu to buy several styles, and chose two of them.
The main reason he chose these two items was——
Looks like a couple outfit.
Mr. Ji secretly laughed.
Qin Ning heard from next door: "..."
What is this man smirking at?
He unfolded his clothes, studied them for a few minutes, and put them on slowly.
When the two came out again, they were all dressed in neat and clean Hanfu.
Qin Ning was wearing a dark red round-neck gown with a leather belt around his waist, black soap boots on his feet, a red cloak on his arms, red lips and white teeth, like a spoiled young master.
Ji Yingxian, on the other hand, was wearing a black round-neck gown with dark patterns, and a delicate moiré leather belt around his waist, and there was a trace of natural evil in his eyebrows and eyes.
The dark pattern of the two clothes is the same, obviously the same style from the same family.
Qin Ning didn't think there was any problem.
However, the tip of Mr. Ji's ears began to turn red quietly, and a sentence crossed his mind——
I wore couple outfits with him!
These words played countless times in Mr. Ji's mind, making his heart beat faster.
Qin Ning knew nothing about Ji Yingxian's psychological activities. He straightened his cuffs and said, "Let's go."
Ji Yingxian raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.
Ji's Villa.
Mr. Ji sat still and said, "Xiao He, you are a step late, Xiao Ning and my grandson have already left the house."
He Linghan frowned and asked, "Where are they going?"
Mr. Ji shook his head, "I don't know, no one told me, you need to find Xiao Ning?"
"fine."
"Then do you have time?"
"Have."
Mr. Ji immediately took it seriously, and said, "Since you're here, play a few games of chess with me before leaving. I haven't played chess with you for many years, and I don't know if your chess skills are good. Let Grandpa Ji have a look."
He Linghan: "..."
He Linghan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
However, after a few games of chess, Mr. Ji stopped the chess pieces and said, "I think you are absent-minded, do you have something to do?"
He Linghan rarely showed a hint of embarrassment.
Mr. Ji didn't force him, he waved his hand, "Go and do your work, if you have time some other day, remember to play chess with Grandpa Ji again."
He Linghan said: "Okay."
He got up to say goodbye and left from Ji's villa.
After getting in the car, He Linghan dialed a series of numbers on his mobile phone.
"Ten times the salary, check the person, I want to know his whereabouts within half an hour."
Central Park.
The road around the lake is covered with colorful lights, and there are various colorful lights standing on the lawn.
There are a lot of stalls on the sidewalk opposite the lake, which is the dining area provided by the organizer to tourists, most of which are traditional delicacies.
The roads around the pavilion in the center of the lake are all decorated with lanterns, there are many kinds of Chinese zodiac signs, pandas, double dragons and pearls, etc., and the pedestrians around are all dressed in Hanfu, either gorgeous or elegant.
Walking through it, there is a sense of time travel.
There were a lot of people at the Lantern Festival, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian kept walking side by side, falling behind from time to time.
Suddenly, his wrist felt hot, and his warm palm wrapped around his slender wrist bones.
Ji Yingxian turned to look at Qin Ning, scratched the center of his eyebrows, "There are so many people, I'm afraid you will get lost."
Qin Ning smiled lightly and let him hold it.
The two were about to leave the spot when they saw a girl in a very elegant Hanfu running towards them holding a camera. She blushed and looked at the two of them.
"Two little brothers, can I take a photo?"
Qin Ning hesitated, Ji Yingxian was confused.
Fearing that they might misunderstand, the girl explained, "I'm a photographer. I don't mean anything else. It's just that I saw you staring at each other just now, and I felt very emotional, so I want to take a photo. Can I ask?"
Qin Ning nodded hesitantly, and Ji Yingxian who was beside him raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.
The girl smiled very happily.
Ji Yingxian leaned over slightly, put it close to Qin Ning's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, if she posts random photos on the Internet, I promise to delete them completely within three hours."
Qin Ning's ears are usually sensitive, and it was hot and itchy after being brushed by the warm breath.
He backed away uncomfortably, trying to avoid it.
But there were too many people, and when he retreated, he bumped into a passerby, who stood still in time and did not fall, but Qin Ning fell backwards and was about to fall.
Ji Yingxian quickly put his arms around his waist and hugged him back.
The girl picked up the camera and took a quick snapshot, capturing the scene clearly.
Qin Ning snuggled into Ji Yingxian's arms, reacted for two seconds, withdrew, and apologized to the person he almost hit, who waved his hand and said it was okay, and left.
The girl called out the snapshot and showed it to Ji Yingxian.
Mr. Ji was super satisfied, so he asked the girl to send it to him, and the girl added his WeChat to send it. After sending it, he quickly transferred a few thousand yuan and deleted the girl.
Girls can't laugh or cry.
When Qin Ning turned his head again, the girl had already left.
Qin Ning asked, "Has she finished filming?"
Ji Yingxian nodded, "It's done."
Afterwards, the two went to the food area.
In the corner, Qin Ning saw the uncle who sold the sugar man, bought two zodiac sugar men, kept one "sheep" for himself, and gave the other "dog" to Ji Yingxian.
It was bought according to the zodiac, and Qin Ning had the same zodiac as the original owner.
Qin Ning saw someone buying water chestnuts nearby again.
He walked over and asked the stall owner to weigh him some.
When the stall owner saw Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian, she was obviously stunned. She first glanced at Qin Ning, and then at Ji Yingxian behind Qin Ning, with a strange look on her face.
Qin Ning looked at her, "Boss?"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Jing pulled off her mask, responded to Qin Ning, and began to weigh the cut and cleaned water chestnuts for Qin Ning.
After buying, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian left.
Jiang Jing looked straight at the backs of the two with cold eyes.
Qin Ning and the two of them didn't notice, and continued to stroll around the Lantern Festival.
Qin Ning was a little happy with the bag of water chestnuts in his hand.
He liked to eat this since he was a child, but the original owner had a bad stomach and couldn't eat too much cold, hard and indigestible food. Qin Ning only bought a small amount of water chestnuts to taste.
He ate half a piece and didn't dare to eat any more.
Qin Ning tied a piece with a fruit stick and handed it to Ji Yingxian's lips.
"Try it."
Ji Yingxian thought that Qin Ning was going to feed him, so he coughed in embarrassment, bowed his head and walked away.
Qin Ning was taken aback, but didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Ji Yingxian, under the orange light, his handsome face was flushed red, but fortunately, no one saw it because it didn't show any color.
Qin Ning asked, "Is it delicious? How does it taste?"
Ji Yingxian chewed carefully and said, "Sweet and sour."
He has never eaten this stuff.
Hearing what he said, Qin Ning frowned slightly.
Qin Ning asked again: "Is it sour?"
Ji Yingxian paid attention to Qin Ning's expression, and changed his words slightly, "It's okay, it's not so sour, it's quite sweet."
Qin Ning heard that he was trying to redeem what he just said, but he didn't understand why Ji Yingxian said that water chestnuts are sweet and sour, and why he changed his words based on his reaction, which is very strange.
Because water chestnuts are light and sweet.
No sour taste.
He looked up at Ji Yingxian, feeling even more suspicious.
Could it be that Ji Yingxian he...
No sense of taste?
After dinner, Aunt Zhou put all kinds of snacks prepared on the coffee table.
The family sat around the living room and watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Mr. Ji sat alone on the single sofa next to him, Aunt Zhou also sat on the other single sofa, and Mrs. Ji and his wife sat side by side in the middle.
Ji Yingxian and Qin Ning were sitting on the armrest of the sofa, two arms apart, not close, but not far.
The Spring Festival Gala is showing comedy sketches.

Witnessing the whole process, Ji's mother covered her lips and smiled, as if she had discovered something particularly strange and interesting, and looked at her son from time to time.
The family has different visions.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Mr. Ji was very sleepy. Aunt Zhou first helped him take the elevator upstairs and go back to his room to rest.
When Aunt Zhou went downstairs, she didn't continue to watch the Spring Festival Gala. After washing up, she went back to her bedroom.
Ji's father was also quite busy during the Chinese New Year. Before Mr. Ji went upstairs, he went back to his bedroom to sleep. Now in the living room on the first floor, there are three people left: Ji's mother, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian.

Qin Ning felt touched, and turned to look at Ji Yingxian.
Ji Yingxian was sneaking a glance at Qin Ning's side face, when he turned around suddenly, he was so startled that he had no time to dodge, and stared blankly at Qin Ning's quiet black eyes.
Qin Ning asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yingxian's heart was full of turmoil, but his face quickly calmed down, "I, I want to ask you, do you want something to drink?"
Qin Ning looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
Ji Yingxian coughed lightly, and said, "It's cold, drink some hot drinks to keep you warm, fruit tea and hot milk, what would you like to drink?"
Qin Ning hesitated and said, "Then... let's warm up the milk."
Ji Yingxian: "Okay."
Wen family.
Corridor on the third floor.
Wen Ci stopped in front of a certain room door and gently knocked on the wooden door.
There was a weak echo of lack of air in the room.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Wen Ci replied "Okay", held the wooden tray with one hand, pushed the door and entered.
Father Wen was wearing home clothes and was sitting on the single sofa in front of the window reading a book. When he heard footsteps, he turned his head.
"A Ci, why are you?"
He was slightly surprised.
It is the family's old nanny Liu Ma who usually delivers the medicine.
Wen Ci said in a gentle voice: "Brother is ill, let Madam Liu help him."
His voice has always been warm and mellow, his speech is slow, his accent is soft, and he has a natural affinity.
Father Wen nodded and motioned for him to sit down.
Seeing that the tray was carefully placed on the coffee table, Wen Ci sat down slowly.
Father Wen closed the book, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wen Ci on the opposite side. Seeing his gentle face, he turned his head and showed a fatherly smile.
"Ah Ci, I am sick like a mountain. I am afraid it will be difficult to protect you two brothers. While I can restrain the old people in the company, you go abroad to escape for a few years. After the company's structure is stable, I will bring you back."
After Wen Ci listened silently, he smiled softly, "Which country does father think is suitable to go to?"
Father Wen took the documents from the side cabinet, put them in front of Wen Ci, and said: "The company is new to the project in Africa, and it is expected to set up a branch there in the future, or cooperate with the company there. Go there, first." Check out."
Wen Ci didn't even look at it, and smiled warmly.
"Since my father thinks Africa is suitable, then I will go to Africa."
Father Wen smiled in satisfaction, "Compared with Wen Yi, Ah Ci is indeed more knowledgeable about the general situation, and the time is tight. I will ask the secretary to buy the ticket after the next year, and you should prepare it in advance."
Wen Ci smiled back slightly, "Okay."
After a few more pleasantries, Father Wen told Wen Ci to rest earlier and let him go out.
Wen Ci smiled and closed the door of the room. The moment he avoided the line of sight from the room, his expression froze, his smile disappeared, and his amber eyes were cold.
He turned and went downstairs, back to his room, but stopped when passing by a certain room.
A glass flew out of the half-closed door with a "swoosh" and hit the wall where the wallpaper was pasted. It almost collided with the wall lamp and narrowly missed.
Wen Ci picked up the intact glass and slowly stood up.

"Do you want to burn me to death!"

The eldest young master used to have a bad temper, but after the amputation, it got worse. Few of the servants in the family dared to approach him, so he got angry, ranging from insulting to throwing things at others.
Most secretly think of resigning and changing owners.
Now that the first young master is not going well, he will get angry at others. How can he have the character of a wealthy family? On the contrary, the second young master is gentle and courteous, and he is better than the above one in terms of dealing with people.
In her heart, the old nanny demoted Wen Yi to nothing.
And here.
Wen Ci stopped in front of the door, looked down at the glass in his hand, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The response from the interior was rather impatient.
"Come in."
Wen Ci walked into the room slowly, closed the door with a "da" and locked it.
When this villa was first renovated, sound insulation was considered. Whether it is walls or solid wood doors, they are all double-layer structures, and the sound insulation effect is particularly strong.
There was only one bedside wall lamp on in the room, and the light was dim.
Wen Ci slowly entered someone's field of vision.
With a sullen face, Wen Yi was wrapping a bandage on his broken leg.
After the amputation, he immediately contacted the most famous foreign institution to customize the prosthesis. It is still in the running-in period, and the position of the fracture is very uncomfortable.
Because of the daily unhappiness, his temper is getting more and more irritable now.
"Big brother."
The warm voice sounded unhurriedly.
Wen Yi turned his head suddenly, his face was livid, and he didn't even have time to get angry, and asked: "Who let you in, get out!"
He hurriedly covered up the condition on his leg, embarrassed and frightened.
With a gentle smile, "It seems that the eldest brother is gradually adapting to the prosthesis, how is it going?"
Wen Yi grabbed the water glass next to the bed and slammed it at Wen Ci.
Wen Ci caught it in the air, and slowly placed it on the side cabinet, with gentle eyebrows and a smile on his lips.
It's ridiculous, but it doesn't reach the eyes, and there is even a hint of irony that is not easy to detect.
"I tell you to get out!"
"You are a bitch, just like your mother. She is a bitch to be a third party, and you are a bitch to stay in Wen's house. You have been shameless for so many years! Shameless!"
"Get out!"
Wen Ci was not annoyed at all, and asked calmly: "Brother, did the doctor tell you that you should avoid anger when you are sick?"
"roll!!"
Wen Yi was trembling with anger, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his molars were clenched tightly, he really wanted to strangle this bitch to death!
Wen Ci looked around the room, and then fell back on Wen Yi, his expression as calm and breezy as ever.
He took a few steps closer, getting closer to Wen Yi.
Wen Yi clenched his fists faintly, his eyes full of anger, as if he wanted to take advantage of Wen Ci's inattention and rush to bite his throat.
But Wen Ci stood still one meter away, with a faint smile on his face.
"Brother, it was your left leg that was broken."
Wen Yi's fists were suddenly clenched even tighter, and his joints were ringing.
Wen Ci smiled as usual, "It's a pity, my mother broke her legs back then, and it was almost the same, you are the same."
Wen Yi's face turned pale, and he looked at Wen Ci in horror.
Wen Ci's appearance was clear and handsome, staring at him with a light smile made Wen Yi feel cold all over for no reason.
He got up and went into the kitchen. Not long after, he came with two cups, one was a ceramic milk cup with light white and gold, and the other was a glass with lemon slices and ice balls.
He put the milk cup in front of Qin Ning, "It's a bit hot, be careful."
Qin Ning thanked him, then saw him drinking the ice water, and asked, "Is the ice lemonade cold or sour?"
Unconsciously, Ji Yingxian said, "I'm used to it."
He has kept this habit for seven years and has never changed it. The ups and downs tasted by his taste buds are the same for him, but the hot and cold are different.
Qin Ning gave an "um" and turned to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ji Yingxian also accompanied him indifferently, without going back to the bedroom to rest first.
It was nearly eleven forty.
The mobile phones of the two people rang one after another, and they were all messages from other people's blessing WeChat.
Mostly Ji Yingxian sent it from a business partner, but Qin Ning did not.
Qin Ning received blessings from Nurse Lin and Wang Haifa. They both sent at the same time, so they must be together.
The other few text messages were from Lu Xiu and He Linghan. They did not have Qin Ning's WeChat ID, so they sent them via SMS. Finally, Qin Ning received Shen Jianxi's New Year's greetings on WeChat.
Shen Jianxi attached a few pictures of cats in the snow, as well as a photo of him and the cats. At the bottom of the picture was a message, to the effect that he wanted to ask Qin Ning to watch the snow together.
The mind is clear.
Qin Ning declined, Shen Jianxi sent a long series of crying emoticons, making Qin Ning dumbfounded.
Ji Yingxian next to him was not in the mood to flip through his phone at all, his gaze was fixed on Qin Ning, seeing Qin Ning's lips raised, his heart was sore.
Why is he laughing?
Who sent him the message and what?
Is it He Linghan, or Lu Xiu, or Shen Jianxi and Kiko, or...Wen Ci?
Wen Ci, Wen Ci again.
What's so good about the white cut black of the middle mouth honey belly sword?I'm afraid he didn't even know that he was quietly plotting and using it.
Ji Yingxian stared at Qin Ning closely, his gaze was as real as it was impossible to ignore.
"Wen Ci sent you a message?"
Ji Moumou asked sourly.
Qin Ning looked up, "?"
The corners of Ji Yingxian's mouth were straightened, he just stared at Qin Ning, without saying a word.
Qin Ning said "um", Wen Ci did send him a message.
Seeing that he responded to these words, Ji Yingxian's face changed slightly, and his mood took a sharp turn, as if he had fallen into a cold valley.
Qin Ning didn't notice anything strange about him, and was lowering her head to reply to Mr. Shen and Lao Qian's message. As soon as she typed a line, she received a WeChat message from [xian].
He was taken aback.
After sending the message, Qin Ning switched to the chat interface with Ji Yingxian, and ten red envelopes popped up without stopping.
Qin Ning replied with a question mark, then looked up at Ji Yingxian.
He asked: "Ji Yingxian, why are you giving me a red envelope?"
Ji Yingxian successfully interrupted others looking for Qin Ning, feeling secretly refreshed, and said with raised eyebrows, "New Year's money."
Qin Ning: "???"
Ji Yingxian hummed lightly, and urged: "You are not allowed to talk to others, hurry up and get it, and you will receive New Year's money at zero, it is best to give it to New Year's Eve."
Qin Ning didn't know how he came up with this unreasonable reasoning. After being urged by him many times, he didn't care to reply to others, so he had to collect the red envelopes one by one.
Ji Yingxian's red envelopes were divided into small amounts, and they were sent out a lot, and they sent out another WeChat account. Qin Ning didn't finish receiving them until he was about to fall asleep.
Ji Moumou's scheme succeeded, and he carried the sleeping Qin Ning upstairs with a smile.
Years passed quickly.
Qin Ning originally thought that he would return to Lushan Mountain after the fifteenth day, but Ji Yingxian took him out again that day, keeping secret about his destination.
Until the car drove on the expressway around the city, it drove farther and farther.
Qin Ning asked, "Ji Yingxian, where are we going?"
Ji Ying replied: "You will know soon."
Qin Ning: "..."
Indeed, Qin Ning soon found out.
They came to the Hanfu Lantern Festival held in Central Park.
Ji Yingxian took out two paper bags from the trunk, carried them to Qin Ning's side, and said, "Let's go, change clothes."
Qin Ning: "???"
Qin Ning was puzzled, "What clothes should I change into?"
Ji Yingxian's bright eyebrows were full of smiles, he didn't answer Qin Ning's words, just held his hand and led him to the entrance of the ancient city.
Qin Ning was confused by Ji Yingxian's actions.
The two walked through the buildings of pavilions and buildings, and soon walked into a high-end homestay. The architectural style was partial to the Hui family, with simple decoration and classic beauty.
The front desk led the two into the separate courtyard next to them, introduced the facilities and other things in the house with a smile, and left through the gate.
Ji Yingxian put down the paper bag, raised his eyebrows and said, "Qin Ning, take off your clothes quickly."
Qin Ning: "???"
Qin Ning had a complicated expression, "What are you doing undressing?"
Ji Yingxian reacted for two seconds, and realized that the words had their own color, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but red and hot.
"I, I didn't mean that. I want you to change into this Hanfu after taking off your clothes."
When he explained, he spoke so fast and anxiously that he almost bit his own tongue.
Qin Ning chuckled, "I understand."
After finishing speaking, Qin Ning raised his hand to unbutton the horns and took off his coat.
He was wearing an apricot-colored cashmere sweater and a white shirt, which made his complexion as cold and white as snow. There was floor heating in the room, and his complexion was flushed.
"Do you want to take this off?"
A question suddenly sounded.
Ji Yingxian gathered his thoughts back and turned to look at him.
Qin Ning was lifting up half of his clothes, revealing half of his snow-white waist, looking at him with dark eyes filled with water vapor, like a bright red plum blossom in the snow.
After two seconds.
Mr. Ji's nose was hot and itchy.
Qin Ning put down his hands, and said in surprise, "Ji Yingxian...you have a nosebleed again."
He immediately handed over a clean napkin.
Boss Ji took the paper stupidly, held it in his hand, but didn't wipe it, and let Qin Ning lift his feet to help.
When Qin Ning moved his hand away, Ji Yingxian grabbed it suddenly and gently circled it.
He stared at Qin Ning fiercely, the bottom of his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"Qin Ning, I..."
"Stop talking, nosebleeds are about to drip into your mouth."
Qin Ning interrupted him.
Ji Yingxian: "..."
The two worked hard for half an hour to completely stop the nosebleed.
Qin Ning picked up the Hanfu and went into the bedroom to change.
Ji Yingxian looked at the closed door, feeling a little disappointed.
Realizing what he was thinking, Mr. Ji's cheeks were slightly hot, hugging his Hanfu, and hurried into the next room to change.
Ji Yingxian didn't know much about Hanfu, so he asked Liu Xun to find someone familiar with Hanfu to buy several styles, and chose two of them.
The main reason he chose these two items was——
Looks like a couple outfit.
Mr. Ji secretly laughed.
Qin Ning heard from next door: "..."
What is this man smirking at?
He unfolded his clothes, studied them for a few minutes, and put them on slowly.
When the two came out again, they were all dressed in neat and clean Hanfu.
Qin Ning was wearing a dark red round-neck gown with a leather belt around his waist, black soap boots on his feet, a red cloak on his arms, red lips and white teeth, like a spoiled young master.
Ji Yingxian, on the other hand, was wearing a black round-neck gown with dark patterns, and a delicate moiré leather belt around his waist, and there was a trace of natural evil in his eyebrows and eyes.
The dark pattern of the two clothes is the same, obviously the same style from the same family.
Qin Ning didn't think there was any problem.
However, the tip of Mr. Ji's ears began to turn red quietly, and a sentence crossed his mind——
I wore couple outfits with him!
These words played countless times in Mr. Ji's mind, making his heart beat faster.
Qin Ning knew nothing about Ji Yingxian's psychological activities. He straightened his cuffs and said, "Let's go."
Ji Yingxian raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.
Ji's Villa.
Mr. Ji sat still and said, "Xiao He, you are a step late, Xiao Ning and my grandson have already left the house."
He Linghan frowned and asked, "Where are they going?"
Mr. Ji shook his head, "I don't know, no one told me, you need to find Xiao Ning?"
"fine."
"Then do you have time?"
"Have."
Mr. Ji immediately took it seriously, and said, "Since you're here, play a few games of chess with me before leaving. I haven't played chess with you for many years, and I don't know if your chess skills are good. Let Grandpa Ji have a look."
He Linghan: "..."
He Linghan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
However, after a few games of chess, Mr. Ji stopped the chess pieces and said, "I think you are absent-minded, do you have something to do?"
He Linghan rarely showed a hint of embarrassment.
Mr. Ji didn't force him, he waved his hand, "Go and do your work, if you have time some other day, remember to play chess with Grandpa Ji again."
He Linghan said: "Okay."
He got up to say goodbye and left from Ji's villa.
After getting in the car, He Linghan dialed a series of numbers on his mobile phone.
"Ten times the salary, check the person, I want to know his whereabouts within half an hour."
Central Park.
The road around the lake is covered with colorful lights, and there are various colorful lights standing on the lawn.
There are a lot of stalls on the sidewalk opposite the lake, which is the dining area provided by the organizer to tourists, most of which are traditional delicacies.
The roads around the pavilion in the center of the lake are all decorated with lanterns, there are many kinds of Chinese zodiac signs, pandas, double dragons and pearls, etc., and the pedestrians around are all dressed in Hanfu, either gorgeous or elegant.
Walking through it, there is a sense of time travel.
There were a lot of people at the Lantern Festival, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian kept walking side by side, falling behind from time to time.
Suddenly, his wrist felt hot, and his warm palm wrapped around his slender wrist bones.
Ji Yingxian turned to look at Qin Ning, scratched the center of his eyebrows, "There are so many people, I'm afraid you will get lost."
Qin Ning smiled lightly and let him hold it.
The two were about to leave the spot when they saw a girl in a very elegant Hanfu running towards them holding a camera. She blushed and looked at the two of them.
"Two little brothers, can I take a photo?"
Qin Ning hesitated, Ji Yingxian was confused.
Fearing that they might misunderstand, the girl explained, "I'm a photographer. I don't mean anything else. It's just that I saw you staring at each other just now, and I felt very emotional, so I want to take a photo. Can I ask?"
Qin Ning nodded hesitantly, and Ji Yingxian who was beside him raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.
The girl smiled very happily.
Ji Yingxian leaned over slightly, put it close to Qin Ning's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, if she posts random photos on the Internet, I promise to delete them completely within three hours."
Qin Ning's ears are usually sensitive, and it was hot and itchy after being brushed by the warm breath.
He backed away uncomfortably, trying to avoid it.
But there were too many people, and when he retreated, he bumped into a passerby, who stood still in time and did not fall, but Qin Ning fell backwards and was about to fall.
Ji Yingxian quickly put his arms around his waist and hugged him back.
The girl picked up the camera and took a quick snapshot, capturing the scene clearly.
Qin Ning snuggled into Ji Yingxian's arms, reacted for two seconds, withdrew, and apologized to the person he almost hit, who waved his hand and said it was okay, and left.
The girl called out the snapshot and showed it to Ji Yingxian.
Mr. Ji was super satisfied, so he asked the girl to send it to him, and the girl added his WeChat to send it. After sending it, he quickly transferred a few thousand yuan and deleted the girl.
Girls can't laugh or cry.
When Qin Ning turned his head again, the girl had already left.
Qin Ning asked, "Has she finished filming?"
Ji Yingxian nodded, "It's done."
Afterwards, the two went to the food area.
In the corner, Qin Ning saw the uncle who sold the sugar man, bought two zodiac sugar men, kept one "sheep" for himself, and gave the other "dog" to Ji Yingxian.
It was bought according to the zodiac, and Qin Ning had the same zodiac as the original owner.
Qin Ning saw someone buying water chestnuts nearby again.
He walked over and asked the stall owner to weigh him some.
When the stall owner saw Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian, she was obviously stunned. She first glanced at Qin Ning, and then at Ji Yingxian behind Qin Ning, with a strange look on her face.
Qin Ning looked at her, "Boss?"
Hearing the sound, Jiang Jing pulled off her mask, responded to Qin Ning, and began to weigh the cut and cleaned water chestnuts for Qin Ning.
After buying, Qin Ning and Ji Yingxian left.
Jiang Jing looked straight at the backs of the two with cold eyes.
Qin Ning and the two of them didn't notice, and continued to stroll around the Lantern Festival.
Qin Ning was a little happy with the bag of water chestnuts in his hand.
He liked to eat this since he was a child, but the original owner had a bad stomach and couldn't eat too much cold, hard and indigestible food. Qin Ning only bought a small amount of water chestnuts to taste.
He ate half a piece and didn't dare to eat any more.
Qin Ning tied a piece with a fruit stick and handed it to Ji Yingxian's lips.
"Try it."
Ji Yingxian thought that Qin Ning was going to feed him, so he coughed in embarrassment, bowed his head and walked away.
Qin Ning was taken aback, but didn't say anything.
On the other hand, Ji Yingxian, under the orange light, his handsome face was flushed red, but fortunately, no one saw it because it didn't show any color.
Qin Ning asked, "Is it delicious? How does it taste?"
Ji Yingxian chewed carefully and said, "Sweet and sour."
He has never eaten this stuff.
Hearing what he said, Qin Ning frowned slightly.
Qin Ning asked again: "Is it sour?"
Ji Yingxian paid attention to Qin Ning's expression, and changed his words slightly, "It's okay, it's not so sour, it's quite sweet."
Qin Ning heard that he was trying to redeem what he just said, but he didn't understand why Ji Yingxian said that water chestnuts are sweet and sour, and why he changed his words based on his reaction, which is very strange.
Because water chestnuts are light and sweet.
No sour taste.
He looked up at Ji Yingxian, feeling even more suspicious.
Could it be that Ji Yingxian he...
No sense of taste?
