Catch the wind

Chapter 20 1 Wishful thinking

Ye Xueshan seemed to be in love with Wu Bicheng, and he only played with him day and night.The two went together to eat big dishes, watch movies, visit the garden, and even went to the casino once.After Wu Bicheng entered the casino, he became afraid and wanted to leave time and time again.Because Ye Xueshan was crowded in front of the gambling table and kept still, he lost his temper a little, and Ye Xueshan almost cried out of anger.

The two were annoyed for a while, but all in all, they were like a lively couple.Wu Bicheng also had no intention of studying, and under the name of living in school, he stayed in Ye Mansion overnight one after another.He is still childish, and likes the Ye mansion very much, because the Ye family has no elders, they are the largest, and they can mess around unscrupulously.

Unexpectedly, at the time when the two parties were deeply in love, a telegram suddenly flew from Beijing, calling Ye Xueshan away.

On a crisp autumn afternoon, Ye Xueshan jumped off the rickshaw in front of the gate of Gu's house.

He was wearing a worn-out suit, and because he was not used to getting up early, he dozed off on the train, so the short hair on the back of his head was in a mess.Smiling slightly appeared in front of Gu Xiongfei, he nodded: "Brother, I'm here."

Gu Xiongfei was dressed in military trousers and riding boots, his jacket was unbuttoned, revealing the snow-white shirt underneath.Putting one hand into his trouser pocket, he frowned and stared at Ye Xueshan: "Why are you here?"

Ye Xueshan had no temper, and replied in a soft voice: "Didn't you send me the telegram yesterday? I left for the train this morning."

Gu Xiongfei raised his head, pretending to find fault: "Then what did you do yesterday?"

Ye Xueshan opened his mouth, and was taken aback by his question: "Yesterday? I...didn't do anything yesterday!"

Gu Xiongfei stretched out his big palm to grab his arm, and pulled him in front of him: "Then why didn't you take the train last night?"

Ye Xueshan staggered a step forward, and blinked at Gu Xiongfei, because the other party was so unreasonable, he really had nothing to say.

Gu Xiongfei stared at him condescendingly, holding his arm with one hand, but raised the other hand to smooth his hair.His expression gradually became gentle and heartbroken, he looked into Ye Xueshan's eyes and said, "No one looks like you!"

While paying attention to him, Ye Xueshan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head hesitantly: "I... I fell asleep on the train."

Gu Xiongfei's slap slowly slid down, his hands were big, and he touched his ears and face together: "Eat and sleep, you only have these two careers in your life!"

Then without waiting for Ye Xueshan to refute, he asked again: "Have you had lunch yet?"

Ye Xueshan shook his head immediately: "No, it'll be here as soon as we get off the train."

When Gu Xiongfei heard this, he turned around and went to ring the bell, ordering the servant to serve dinner.

Ye Xueshan sat at the restaurant table, bowed his head and sipped the porridge silently, and at the same time he heard Gu Xiongfei say: "I'm going to Shandong."

These words made Ye Xueshan raise his head—actually he didn’t care where he went, wherever he liked to go, but since he said it, he had to show some concern: “Going to Shandong? Is it military affairs?”

Gu Xiongfei took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, and slowly lit a cigarette for himself, as if he answered reluctantly: "Lead troops to fight."

Ye Xueshan's heart moved, he thought to himself that you took the soldiers away, who will escort me the smoke?But even though I thought about it this way, I couldn't ask in this way, and I had to follow the other party's words: "War? Who are you fighting with?"

Gu Xiongfei suddenly became impatient, and waved his right hand holding a cigarette several times at him: "Eat yours, talk a lot!"

Ye Xueshan shifted his gaze to the inside of the bowl, and added softly: "Swords and guns have no eyes, elder brother should take care when he is outside."

Gu Xiongfei didn't say anything, just glanced at him wordlessly, then turned forward expressionlessly, and took a deep puff of the cigarette.

After smoking a cigarette, Gu Xiongfei found that Ye Xueshan was still eating.Ye Xueshan can eat anything delicious, Gu Xiongfei sometimes thinks his appearance is worthless, and sometimes thinks his appearance is very cute.He wanted to ask Ye Xueshan why he hadn't come to Beijing for so long, but he couldn't get out of his mouth after hesitating for a moment.It's strange, he thought, he hated this illegitimate brother last year, why did he start to change his relationship this year?

Then he corrected himself - this is not my younger brother, my surname is Gu, his surname is Ye, he is not from the same family at all!

"Okay, okay!" He became irritable without warning, and knocked on the edge of the table vigorously: "It's not good to have a simple meal, as for making you eat endlessly? You have a little bit of good, give it to me." It’s easy to feed on whatever you eat.”

Ye Xueshan put down his chopsticks embarrassingly, picked up the small bowl and took another sip of porridge.Picking up the napkin and wiping his mouth, he had something on his mind and didn't intend to argue, so he just smiled at Gu Xiongfei.

Gu Xiongfei looked at him and said: "Take you out to meet people at night, you comb your hair neatly, don't embarrass me!"

Ye Xueshan was secretly surprised, because Gu Xiongfei had always regarded him as an existence of invisible light, and had not even officially acknowledged his identity: "Who are you seeing?"

Gu Xiongfei replied casually: "An old brother of mine. My soldiers went south, and the garrison was left to him. You meet him face to face, and walk on that road in the future. He can take care of you for me. .”

Ye Xueshan smiled in surprise—it turns out that the bastard brother really misses him.

Ye Xueshan left a suitcase in Gu's house in spring, now that the weather has turned from hot to cold, the clothes in the suitcase are in season.He went upstairs to wash and change his clothes, tidying up his clothes neatly.In the evening, he happily followed Gu Xiongfei into the car.

As the car drove out of the alley, Gu Xiongfei fumbled and grabbed his hand, rubbing his palm with his rough fingers.Ye Xueshan's palms are always hot, which is not a sign of health.Gu Xiongfei really wanted to kiss the back of his hand, but he couldn't do it in front of the driver and guards in front of him.

Ye Xueshan didn't pay attention to his actions, just secretly happy. He no longer insisted on becoming a family member of the Gu family, but it is better to have a family that is justifiable; otherwise, it would always be like being raised by a big girl The bastard can't tell anyone about his origins.Once he told the truth, he would say that he was bluffing, such as Chen Meiqing.

But within ten minutes, the car stopped in front of the gate of Jinghua Hotel.Ye Xueshan followed Gu Xiongfei into the private room, and saw a big man with a red face standing in the room.Seeing Gu Xiongfei arriving, the big man laughed and shouted in a rough voice: "Master, you are late!"

Gu Xiongfei waved his hand: "He Zhanjiang, don't talk nonsense!"

It turned out that Mr. He Zhanjiang was born in poverty, and the environment he grew up in was exactly two extremes compared to Gu Xiongfei's.He Zhanjiang knew that Gu Xiongfei was from a wealthy family, so he always called him "Young Master" when joking around on weekdays.Now with his arms folded in front of his chest, he first yelled and ordered the dishes to be served; then he looked at Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan, and said with a smile: "Hehe, interesting, the young master brought a young young master today."

Gu Xiongfei ignored him, and just pulled out the chair and sat down.He Zhanjiang couldn't be polite, so he also sat down opposite.Ye Xueshan stood alone at the door, as if it was difficult to just sit down, but the waiter had already raised the door curtain to serve food, and he would block the way if he stayed still.After thinking for a moment, he quietly sat beside Gu Xiongfei.

In front of the waiter, Gu Xiongfei didn't say anything, when the dishes were served and the door curtain was lowered, He Zhanjiang unscrewed a bottle of brandy and leaned over to pour him wine.Gu Xiongfei raised his hand to block it: "Lao He, why are you in a hurry? How many times have I told you that the things in the restaurant are not clean, you should rinse them before using them!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Xueshan immediately reached out to pick up the heavy teapot, walked around the table full of delicacies to He Zhanjiang, poured him a glass of hot tea, then returned to his original position, and took the initiative to wash the cups and bowls for Gu Xiongfei.Seeing this, He Zhanjiang imitated the example, rinsed the glass with hot tea impatiently, then turned around and poured it all into the corner: "I don't like to eat with you and Commander-in-Chief Yang. Hygiene is not hygienic, trouble!"

Then he raised his chin at Ye Xueshan: "Is this the one you mentioned? What's his name? Is his surname Yang or Liu?"

Gu Xiongfei replied: "The surname is Ye!"

He Zhanjiang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I remember it has something to do with trees."

Ye Xueshan had just washed his own bowls and chopsticks. Hearing this, he raised his head and was about to introduce himself; unexpectedly, Gu Xiongfei said at this moment: "Old He, you have seen it. From now on, he will pass by your boundary. Look at me. In terms of face, you have to protect him."

While He Zhanjiang agreed, he picked up the bottle again.He stretched out his long arms to fill Gu Xiongfei's wine glass, and then he turned the bottle to Ye Xueshan.Ye Xueshan was about to bow down to be humble, but Gu Xiongfei lifted the bottle with his hand: "No, he will sit down soon."

He Zhanjiang was taken aback: "Going?"

Gu Xiongfei didn't answer directly, but only said: "From now on, I will leave the matter of bodyguards to you."

He Zhanjiang sat back in his seat: "Don't worry, you never ask for help. This is the first time in history. How can I not take it seriously?"

Gu Xiongfei nodded, then turned to Ye Xueshan, and said concisely: "Go back."

Ye Xueshan stood up as if sleepwalking, first thanked He Zhanjiang with a smile, and then said goodbye to Gu Xiongfei, then lifted the curtain and walked out alone.

Gu Xiongfei's driver started the car and took Ye Xueshan back to the house.

Ye Xueshan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, his mind went blank, only the feeling of being humiliated hit him wave after wave.It turned out that everything was his own wishful thinking, and it turned out that in front of outsiders, he was not even qualified to eat at the same table with Gu Xiongfei.And he foolishly poured tea for people, and cleaned the tableware seriously.

Ye Xueshan took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh, feeling that everything was boring and meaningless.
