I thought I was a jerk

The child was nestled in the heavy overcoat, with his head slightly raised, revealing half of his face, and his lips were still vaguely pressed under the fluffy collar.His complexion was extremely fair and soft, and his black hair was limply caught in the gap of his collar, revealing a little cuteness in the mess.Xue Ci's eyes were half-opened, and there was still a bit of sleepiness in the dark eyes. He looked inexplicably pitiful, and his voice was low and soft, like a kitten calling.

Xue Fu, who was walking normally, almost shifted his body, staring at his brother who was half asleep and half awake.

This look is really cute.

Even Xue Zhengjing's irritable and cold demeanor fell silent because of the sudden incident, and he didn't intend to put Xue Ci down. He said in a gentle tone as he walked, "Well, I'll be home when I wake up."

"happy?"

Xue Ci: "..."

Not very happy either.

He didn't pretend to be sleepy any more, his round eyes opened, and they fell on the gradually lit lights in the distance, expressing: "I'll go by myself."

Xue Zhengjing carried him through another gate and kept walking until he sent Xue Ci into the car.Because Xue Ci was wrapped in heavy and airtight clothes, this movement was a little clumsy.Hearing what the youngest son said, he replied very naturally: "Sleep again, and Dad will carry you there."

Xue Fu also got into the car to send the seat belt, and couldn't help laughing: "My brother is shy."

"Shy?" Xue Zhengjing frowned slightly before reacting, "You are still young, and you will be hugged by your father when you fall asleep. There is nothing to be shy about."

Xue Ci: "..."

He had some hope now that he was really asleep.

Or never woke up.

In the end, under Xue Ci's insistence, when he got out of the car, he changed his clothes and left by himself.It's just that he was wearing a long coat that was obviously not suitable for the size, and was a bit too wide, like a cloak, with the corners hanging down on the ground, making his figure even thinner.Xue Fu couldn't help stretching out his hand to hold him, to prevent his younger brother from walking unsteadily and falling down.

Taking Xue's private jet, they flew to Zhoucheng.

The place where the Xue family roots are located, the most prosperous city that never sleeps, is also the place where Xue Ci died of illness and was buried forever in his previous life.

The long journey of more than ten hours is indeed quite exhausting.

Xue Ci returned to Xue's house and was sent to the master bedroom.His room was not much different from his previous life, except that he had added many details and decorations. Before he had time to study it, Xue Ci lay down on the bed and rested first.

On the way, someone came in to change his dressing.Xue Ci opened his eyes sleepily, and recognized the doctor hired by Xue's family when he was a child, and later retired when he was older, and he was an acquaintance, so he closed his eyes again.

When I woke up, it was the next morning, and my schedule was just reversed.

Xue Ci slept soundly, probably because there was a slight sleeping pill in the drinking water he used yesterday.He looked at the room he was in now, and there was some unfamiliarity in the familiarity.

In her previous life, Xue Ci lived here all the time before she became an adult.

He finally moved out, from being angry for a while to finally realizing that it was a rare thing he did to please his father.

one right thing.

Later, the Xue family welcomed the new young master again.He even ran to tell him not to let that young master live in his house—it was ridiculous to think about it, why should the new young master live in a room that someone else used, second-hand goods, bad luck.

Xue Ci got up, opened the curtain to go to the balcony, and the sunlight fell in through the large glass.Outside is a large lawn, also planted with exquisite and delicate flowers and trees, paved with gravel roads, with gardens running water, several gardeners are carefully pruning a bunch of flowers.

The scenery he can see here is really good, and he can see the large territory of the Xue family in front of him. He is very familiar with every place, but Xue Ci has a ridiculous feeling of occupying the magpie's nest.

This is not the place for him to stay.

Xue Ci couldn't help but think of the apartment he rented behind, which made him more comfortable than the Xue family.If possible, Xue Ci would like to move there now, but his current body age... I am afraid that Father Xue must agree.

Thinking of Father Xue's attitude now, he began to hesitate again.

Could it be that Father Xue's attitude will be clearer when he grows up?

There was a light knock on the door, and the servant asked outside: "Master Xue, have you got up yet?"

Xue Ci came back to his senses and responded.let them in.

A male servant was in charge of changing Xue Ci's clothes, but when he saw that the young master had put on neat clothes, he silently updated the young master's usual morning time, and invited him down to wash and eat.

"Mister went to the company at four o'clock, and the young master has returned to school because of his busy schedule." The male servant explained as usual, "Do you want to bring your breakfast?"

Xue Zhengjing's business is urgent, and he often comes and goes in a hurry.Of course, the young master of the Xue family has to be taught not only the knowledge of ordinary third-year students, but also company management. He has recently joined the research and development course, and being able to take time off to see Xue Ci is a temporary squeeze.Today, no matter how reluctantly he wanted to see his younger brother, he regretted leaving before Xue Ci woke up in time.

If Xue Zhengjing and Xue Fuzhong stayed at Xue's house, Xue Ci would rather have someone bring the meal.Since they are not here, he prefers to dine downstairs.

After eating, Xue Ci thought: "When will the teacher come?"

He didn't go to school when he was young, but he hired a private teacher, who only taught him skills and knowledge, and cultivated his sentiments.

It was Xue Ci who failed to live up to expectations and did not cultivate any temperament, but everyone hated him.

"Sir, you are on sick leave."

Xue Ci is very familiar with this point. When he was a child, he could often ask for leave for a few weeks. Father Xue actually didn't care much about his academic problems.

Of course Xue Ci understands that this is not petting, let alone indulge him in the idea of ​​teaching him badly, she just doesn't care.

But Xue Ci was very free at home alone.He asked people to find some books, such as the expansion book of the previous "Chip", and there are also some boring and advanced professional bibliographies.

As employees hired by the Xue family, of course the servants would not raise any objections, let alone whether Young Master Xue could understand, and only faithfully carried out his orders.

Xue Ci was bored at home for a few days, reading a book.

Later, even the housekeeper came to persuade him.

"Young master, do you want to go out and play?" Xue Ci had hurt his left eye after spending the whole day reading in the room, and now he is afraid that his eyes will be more exhausted.Even the housekeeper felt worried when he saw his calm personality.

Steward Ji is about to reach his sixtieth birthday, and he was the housekeeper when Father Xue first took charge of the house.

Not only is he highly qualified, he has good ears and eyes, and he handles the incident extremely properly. He is also extremely loyal and never does anything to harm the Lord's family.To the two young masters, he loved them almost as if they were his own grandchildren.

In Xue Ci's entire Xue family, Steward Ji is the one he is least afraid of.

In the previous life, this elder was also a rare elder who treated him with respect and cared for him—although Steward Ji might not favor Xue Ci very much, but Xue Ci was the young master of the Xue family, and he had won his loyalty for more than twenty years.

Now that Steward Ji came to persuade, Xue Ci put the book down with the principle of not disturbing the old man, and said very disingenuously: "Then I'll go for a walk in the garden."

Steward Ji was still worried, feeling that Xue Ci was not as active as a child of this age group should be, so he thought about what his children and grandchildren liked to do the most, and asked, "Would you like to play video games? Watch movies?"

Xue Ci laughed: "Won't that hurt your eyes more?"

"..." That's true.

Butler Ji was not discouraged: "I remembered. You said you wanted to make cakes earlier, although you failed later - but this time I hired a well-known pastry chef to assist you."

Xue Ci went to a training camp once, and he was already a reborn adult soul, so he couldn't remember what he said "before".

In order not to reveal his flaws, but also not wanting to take away the old man's kindness, Xue Ci only said: "Okay."

But he doesn't actually remember that he had a hobby of making desserts when he was a child.

In fact, the Xue family also has dessert masters, but their level is too high, and it is difficult to teach newcomers.This time Steward Ji invited different people, one male and one female, who are very good at teaching apprentices, but at the same time, they are gentle and patient, and even more able to inspire others.Xue Ci didn't have to do anything, just follow their instructions and break the eggs into the bowl, and he would get extraordinary warm praise.

Xue Ci taught them step by step.When watching the cake embryo being sent into the oven, he couldn't help sighing, it's hard to earn money now, and he's so good at boasting.

In fact, Xue Ci was wrong. Although Steward Ji paid a lot of money, the most important task for the pastry chefs was to teach them how to make dim sum.They were so enthusiastic because they really saw that the young master of the Xue family was so cute and obedient, so they couldn't help but want to tease him and praise him.

In the end, most of the cakes were completed by the pastry chefs, and Xue Ci was only responsible for doing some basic work.

Not only is it done quickly, but it is also very beautiful.

The light yellow cream is evenly covered, and the hot chocolate paste is delineated and flowered, and the pattern on it is two very cute white clouds-this was drawn by Xue Ci, and when he made it, he burst into quite sincere praise.

At Xue Ci's insistence, he didn't write his name on it as a decoration.

A small piece of cake, but when it comes out of the oven, there is a strong sweet smell.

Steward Ji also came over to look at it, and smiled quite satisfied.

"Young master, do you want to give it to your husband?" he asked.

"..."

Xue Ci said blankly: "No."

Butler Ji laughed, "Of course, I know who you want to give it to more than my husband. After you came back that day, you said that you would make a cake yourself for Young Master Lin, and I will always remember it."

"And," Butler Ji showed a somewhat proud expression, "I have already communicated with Mr. Lin this morning, and he is very happy for you to visit today."

Xue Ci also no longer remembered who Young Master Lin was.

He didn't have many friends when he was a child, and this Young Master Lin was probably just one of his peers who got in touch with him because of his family background.But since Xue Ci doesn't remember, it means that their relationship is very ordinary.

But whether to give the cake to a child who is not related, or leave it to Father Xue——

Xue Ci quickly made a decision: "Prepare the car and deliver the cake."

Lin's house is not far away.

Strictly speaking, it is not far from where Young Master Lin is now, and he is recuperating in a certain villa area.

The cake made by Young Master Xue was carefully wrapped and placed in a security box.Xue Ci sat in the back seat, casually watching the passing scenery outside, and began to recall and review the theorems he had read today, and then suddenly felt that the nearby scenery was a bit familiar when the car stopped suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, he also remembered who "Master Lin" was.

"..."

Why do I always remember it later.
