The spare tire of the male protagonist is inappropriate.

Xu family.

Xu Zong and Liu Qingran probably didn't expect that they could sit on the sofa and talk together calmly after going through the incident last time.

Liu Qingran seemed to have forgotten Xu Zong's slap in the face, and brought the soup over with a smile.

"There is a layer of oil covering it, be careful of burning it."

Like a good wife and mother.

As for Xu Zong, he also seemed to ignore the fact that he was outside with colorful flags fluttering, instead of drinking soup, he talked about what happened in the evening.

"I've met Xu Rang."

Liu Qingran paused, "What did he say?"

Xu Zong remembered Xu Rang's resolute attitude before he left, and his face turned cold again: "I probably won't go back to Xu's house."

Liu Qingran breathed a sigh of relief, without Xu Rang as a competitor, life for the three of them would be much easier in the future.She also specially found a private detective to investigate. Although Xu Zong raised many lovers outside, he didn't keep any of them. The only heir left in the Xu family was Xu Yichen.

But of course she couldn't show it on her face, she was even surprised: "Isn't it settled?"

Xu Zong was vague, "He has made up his mind not to go back to Xu's house, let him do it, he will be raised for nothing!"

Liu Qingran was afraid that what he said was angry, so she didn't dare to follow the words: "Why did it suddenly become like this? Wasn't it fine before?"

Xu Zong's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly said, "Is there a third person who knows about Yan Min?"

Liu Qingran was stunned.

Back then, she did use some tricks to get into Xu's house, and she also used that incident to threaten Xu Zong. After all, the two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope, that's why she was able to sit in Mrs. Xu's place for so long .

But after more than ten years, Xu Zong kept silent about this matter, she thought that the other party would keep this secret in his heart.

Why are you suddenly talking about this today?

She hesitated: "...No. What's the matter?"

"fine."

Seeing what she said, Xu Zong felt relieved, but he still didn't understand why Xu Rang suddenly became like this. He specially asked the nanny at home to inquire about his usual situation, but the result he got was that Liu Qingran treated Xu Rang and Xu Yichen no differently. , almost equally.

Then why do you suddenly hate him?

Unable to figure it out, Xu Zong pressed his temples, slumped on the sofa and waved to Liu Qingran: "Help me pack a few sets of clothes, I'm going on a business trip in a few days."

Liu Qingran went upstairs without asking any questions.

When she got upstairs, the smile on her mouth suddenly disappeared.

From the looks of it, Xu Zong had already talked to the nanny, but fortunately she saved a hand and took care of the nanny in advance.

But why did you suddenly ask about Yan Min?Could it be that someone leaked that incident to Xu Rang?Impossible, if this secret is leaked out, Xu Rang will not just sever ties with the Xu family.

Liu Qingran settled down, stopped scaring herself, and went into the bedroom to prepare clothes for Xu Zong's business trip.

Now she and Xu Zong are basically inseparable, because the common secret maintains the superficial harmony - after figuring this out, Liu Qingran doesn't care about Xu Zong's private affairs, whether it's a business trip or a date with his little lover, as long as she If she can still be a profligate Mrs. Xu, her life will be worth it if her son can inherit the Xu family's property.

After packing up the clothes, Xu Zong called his assistant. After a while, Assistant Li entered the villa, and the two of them didn't stay for a moment.

As soon as Xu Zong left, Xu Xinyan arrived home.

The final exam just ended today, and she came back after having dinner and singing with her classmates.

Seeing that there were only Liu Qingran and the nanny at home, Xu Xinyan's originally happy mood fell again: "Mom, hasn't Dad come home today?"

Liu Qingran: "I'm going home, but I have to go on a business trip for a few days." She knew what Xu Xinyan was worried about, so she said a few words of comfort to make Xu Xinyan happy.

"Yes, isn't it summer vacation soon? Do you want to learn something else?"

Xu Xinyan didn't study well, and she didn't want to make up lessons: "Mom, I don't want to make up lessons. I just finished the exam. Let me rest for two more days."

Liu Qingran is not very demanding of him: "I'm not asking you to make up lessons. Do you want to learn how to shoot? Mom has a friend who knows how to do it."

It sounded very cool, and Xu Xinyan immediately became interested. The mother and daughter chatted casually for half an hour. After Xu Xinyan went upstairs, Liu Qingran sent a text message to Qian Yang.

Xu Zong thought that he could take his little lover with him on a business trip, but he didn't know that this was also a great opportunity for Liu Qingran.

The motorcycle drove along the spacious avenue for half an hour, Xu Rang was a little sobered by the wind, and suddenly remembered that the younger brother in class was still waiting for dinner.

So he hurried over: "Brother Yan, where are Zhou Xuekai and the others?"

Shen Yan heard that he was still thinking about other men, and was dissatisfied: "Wait."

"what?"

"Don't worry, you won't die from starvation. They will look for food by themselves first when they see that we won't come over."

When Shen Yan said this, Xu Rang gradually calmed down, but the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, and the street lights became less and less, so he asked doubtfully, "Brother Yan, you are not trying to kidnap and sell me, are you?"

Shen Yan: "!"

He laughed angrily: "You don't even have any meat on your body, why kidnap and sell you?"

As soon as he put Xu Rang on his back, he felt it - this man is really thin, if it wasn't for his fair skin, he would have thought he was malnourished.

The Xu family treated him like this, they didn't even give him enough to eat!

Suddenly, small raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Shen Yan felt cold liquid seeping into his clothes from behind, thought it was Xu Rang who was crying, and panicked inexplicably.

What should I do?

The newcomer must not want others to see.

But after thinking about it, he decided to comfort him: "Cry if you want."

Xu Rang: "???"

When did he want to cry?

Shen Yan: "Anyway, you're sitting on the back of the motorcycle, and the wind can evaporate your tears."

Xu Rang: "..."

As expected of you, Brother Yan, you are really kind.

After continuing to drive for another 10 minutes, Shen Yan stopped the car.

Xu Rang saw a small river winding like a silver belt through the street lamp, sparkling and beautiful.

His restless mood calmed down in an instant.

"I found this place two years ago." Shen Yan folded his hands and put them behind his head, "I was in a bad mood at the time, and the roads were driven casually, and I got here without knowing how to turn."

He turned sideways again and looked down at Xu Rang slightly: "It's a secret base."

Xu Rang paused, he didn't expect that Shen Yan would actually share this important place with himself.

He also turned to look at Shen Yan, and the eyes of the two happened to meet.

At this time, the moon is half gone, hanging on the treetops, surrounded by cicadas and unknown birds.

The scent of flowers and earth fills the nostrils.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Shen Yan first looked away, scratched his hair randomly, and pointed to a place not far away: "There is a small pavilion inside."

Xu Rang looked along, and the direction Shen Yan was pointing at was completely dark in his eyes. There were no street lights there, and he couldn't see anything.

"I'm night-blind, let's not pass."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Are you really night blind?"

Shen Yan remembered the time when he took him down the stairs last time, he thought night blindness was faking...

Xu Rang was suspicious: "...Why did I lie to you?"

Shen Yan coughed twice, "Then I won't go tonight, there are probably a lot of mosquitoes inside, so come back during the day."

The two walked back along the path, Shen Yan drove for about 15 minutes, and stopped at the entrance of a high-end residential area.

He took the schoolbag from under the car seat to Xu Rang, gave him the address, and said he was going to the supermarket.

Xu Rang took the schoolbag and entered the community.

He didn't expect any store to open in this kind of place, but he obediently followed Shen Yan's address to find the place.

Shen Yan has already told him the password to enter the building, which is 12082828.

For some reason, he felt that the password was inexplicably familiar and easy to remember.

Maybe 2828, Kaka is the hair.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yan was still superstitious about such a nickname.

If Shen Yan knew what Xu Rang was thinking at this time, he would probably be so angry that he would roll his eyes. He probably would not have thought that Xu Rang would interpret the password that he deliberately linked the two birthdays together.

The address given by Shen Yan is 11 on the 1106th floor. The password to open the door is the same as the password to enter the building. Xu Rang pressed the password, and just opened the door, there was a "bang"——

"Surprise——" Zhou Xuekai shook the cracker in his hand, spraying streamers into the air.

Almost all the younger brothers from the parallel class came, more than a dozen people rushed to the entrance, scrambling to be the first to say: "Surprise!"

Xu Rang was stunned.

Zhou Xuekai was proud: "Are you surprised or not?"

Xu Rang took off the ribbon from his hair, not so much as a surprise, but as frightened. He glanced at the center of the living room, where the pot and ingredients had been prepared in the dining room.

"Are we going to eat here? Not go outside?"

Zhou Xuekai: "In the beginning, I wanted to go out to eat, but I changed my mind later. Brother Yan even gave me the keys to the house, and asked me to take someone to prepare the food first."

He thought, of course it is to make you feel the warmth of home.

Xu Rang was puzzled: Could it be Shen Yan's birthday?wrong?It doesn't seem to be the end of June, but he forgot the exact date.

However, he didn't expect that this house belonged to Shen Yan: "Is this Brother Yan's house?"

Zhou Xuekai: "Well, when he doesn't live in his hometown, he lives here. Hey, what about others?"

"Buying things in the supermarket downstairs, I should be back in a while."

After Xu Rang changed his shoes, he realized that the house was huge, with three rooms, and the living room was even more empty, without even a sofa.

He suspected that the dining table and chairs were new too.

There is a pot in the middle of the dining table, and the surrounding ingredients have been prepared. There are a lot of fresh food, all of which have been cut into slices. The vegetables and fruits have also been washed.

Xu Rang was surprised: "You all made this up?"

Zhou Xuekai: "Of course not, I asked the restaurant at home to deliver it."

Xu Rang: "..."

A younger brother said: "No way, I washed the fruit."

"I set the table."

"I turned on the kettle switch."

Xu Rang: "..."

A group of people gathered together, they were all talkative, so they began to fight over who had the most credit. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and everyone looked towards the door.

Shen Yan still had the warm summer night breeze on his body, he put the plastic bag in his hand aside, "Why are you standing?"

Seeing that everyone finally got together, everyone began to find seats to sit down.

Xu Rang chose a relatively biased position, just to the right of Zhou Xuekai. As soon as he sat down, Zhou Xuekai's collar was picked up.

Shen Yan: "You change the place."

Zhou Xuekai: "?"

He pointed to Xu Rang's right side: "Brother Yan, that side is empty."

Shen Yan whispered: "I have to be the left side of the newcomer, my right side is more handsome."

Zhou Xuekai: "..."

It was so particular, so the whole group silently moved a position to the left.

Shen Yan was on Xu Rang's left, and the seat on the right was vacant, which was similar to the usual class, and he was no longer nervous.

The bottom ingredients boiled, and everyone began to put ingredients into the pot one after another, and opened a few bottles of beer.

Zhou Xuekai poured a glass for Xu Rang, but Shen Yan took it away and replaced it with a glass of carrot juice.

"Fuck! Boss, what kind of dark drink is this! Just smelling it makes me throw up."

Shen Yan slapped him, "What dark drink, this is carrot juice."

Zhou Xuekai: "Ugh—"

Shen Yan: "..."

He said to Xu Rang viciously: "Drink this before drinking."

"Isn't this a vitamin A supplement?" A younger brother asked, "Is Xu Rang short of this?"

Xu Rang glanced at the carrot juice before realizing that it was because of his night blindness.

Although he didn't like to drink, he still smiled, "Thank you."

Shen Yan was stared at by Xu Rang, and the little lion in his heart rolled, but he said on the face: "The carrots in the supermarket are on sale, just buy some."

Xu Rang didn't expose him either.

It was nearly nine o'clock in the evening, and everyone was hungry. After the aroma of the ingredients floated into the air, they all scrambled to fight for the meat.

Shen Yan didn't eat much, he kept observing Xu Rang beside him.

There are very few opportunities to eat together at school. He doesn't know what Xu Rang likes to eat, and he is too embarrassed to ask directly, so he will observe tonight.

He thought that the other party would be a picky eater, but the result was unexpected. Xu Rang obviously didn't like carrot juice, but he sipped it slowly and drank half of it.

He was sitting in a corner, and it was not easy to pick up vegetables from the pot, so until now, he only picked up cold dishes that were relatively close to him.

Looks like it will eat anything.

But I can't see what Xu Rang likes at all.

Shen Yan didn't know what his life in Xu's family was like after Xu Rang's mother passed away, and Xu Rang himself never said anything about it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if you are the young master who was pampered by the Xu family, why would you find a corner seat to sit every time, and why would you only pick up the food in front of you for fear of annoying others?

And these, Xu Rang seems to have been used to it for a long time.

Shen Yan felt uncomfortable, got up and stuffed various ingredients into the pot, waited for a few minutes, took a big bowl, filled it all up, and put it in front of Xu Rang.

"Eat what you like, pick one side if you don't like it, and carrot juice, don't drink it if you don't like it." Shen Yan took a plate over, and took away the half-drunk carrot juice glass, "New one, put it away." easy."

Xu Rang was startled.

He didn't speak, just stared down at the big bowl of food.

People around started booing——

"Boss! I want Boss Sheng too!"

"No, I want the one in the boss bowl!"

"Then I'm different from you little trash, I want the boss's mouth."

Shen Yan: "..."

He said angrily: "Don't even think about it!"

The majesty of his boss is almost gone!

One night, Shen Yan didn't know how many bowls he served for Xu Rang, and Xu Rang, as he said, picked and picked, no longer dared to express any views like in Xu's house, only resigned and flattered.

Before, he felt that Shen Yan had something he yearned for - freedom and casualness.

There is a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, what you like is desperately guarded, and those who don't like it will not compliment, let alone please others for the sake of so-called feelings.

That was Shen Yan's shining point.

After Xu Rang drank the wine, his whole body became hot, and his eye sockets also became hot.

He could vaguely recall Yan Min's teachings in his ears - people should live for themselves.But he was too young at that time, and only remembered such a vague and general sentence, so that in his previous life, he ended his short life for the sake of the Xu family and Gu Jingyou.

But why isn't his mother like this?It's a very simple truth, she passed it on orally, but she didn't do it herself.

Or wasting all your youth on someone who doesn't deserve it.

Xu Rang was thinking wildly, piecing together the scattered memories before the age of seven, but what he got was a confused Yan Min who was not as good as the real Yan Min in the photo.

If...if possible, he really wanted to see her again.

Xu Rang's eyes were blurred, and big tears fell down. He stretched out the back of his hand to wipe, but he couldn't stop the flood of emotions.

He cried so hard that everyone noticed and stopped their chopsticks.

Shen Yan had never seen Xu Rang who was so emotionally exposed. He was in a hurry and took out a tissue to wipe his tears, "What... what should I do?"

Zhou Xuekai was close, and when he heard Xu Rang whispering, he immediately said: "Boss, he is talking!"

Shen Yan wanted to listen closer, but Xu Rang grabbed his hair and used it to wipe his nose and tears.

Shen Yan: "!!!"

Everyone:"!!!"

Fuck!How dare you wipe your nose with the boss's precious hair!

However, Shen Yan bent down and allowed Xu Rang to move, showing no intention of resisting at all, and instead shouted at Zhou Xuekai: "Listen to what he said?"

Zhou Xuekai regained his senses and immediately leaned over.

After listening for a while, he thought thoughtfully, "He seems to be calling... Dad?"

Shen Yan: "..."

Zhou Xuekai laughed awkwardly, "I'll listen again."

Several younger brothers gathered around.

"I can hear it, it seems to be my mother!"

"I heard that too, it's mom!"

Shen Yan was stunned.

After a long while, he hugged her in his arms and stroked his back lightly like coaxing a baby.

……

Xu Rang was so drunk that he couldn't keep his eyes open. In a daze, he felt someone patting his back slowly, just like when he was a child.

He grabbed the corner of the opponent's clothes, like a life-saving straw, hid in his arms, unwilling to leave.

……

Xu Rang fell into a deep sleep.

……

After becoming conscious again, Xu Rang heard the crisp sound of birds chirping outside the window.

He slowly opened his eyes, and found that there was a bed under him, and the surrounding furnishings were very familiar.

Isn't this his own room?

Xu Rang was still in a daze when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Are you awake?"

It was Grandpa's voice.

He quickly called out to Grandpa, and Mr. Yan pushed the door open, "Finally woke up, wash up and eat lunch."

Xu Rang was surprised: "Lunch?" He glanced at the alarm clock next to him, and it was already eleven o'clock at noon!

But how did he get back here?Xu Rang had an idea in his mind, but he still asked, "Grandpa, who brought me back last night?"

Mr. Yan had long expected that he would ask this question: "A tall young man, very handsome, he should be your classmate based on his age."

Xu Rang probably guessed that it was Shen Yan: "Did you ask his name?"

"I asked, but he said, don't leave your name when you do good deeds." Mr. Yan said again, "So he left his surname, saying that his surname is Shen."

Xu Rang: "..."

Brother Yan, as expected of you.

"It's your classmate."

Xu Rang nodded: "Well, I'll sit with him."

"Your classmate is quite interesting." Mr. Yan thought of the boy who carried his grandson on his back last night, and stroked the beard on his chin with a complicated expression, "You are quite handsome, but it's a pity..."

Xu Rang: "What a pity?"

"Da Xia wears a knitted hat..." Mr. Yan showed sympathy, "Your tablemate isn't suffering from some kind of disease and is undergoing chemotherapy."

Xu Rang: "..."

For a moment, he tried to explain to Shen Yan: "...Maybe he thinks it's fashionable."

The two gradually changed the subject, Yan Shi asked him to take a shower and go downstairs for dinner, and took him to the racecourse in the afternoon.I didn't have time to show my grandson after raising the white horse, but this time I finally had a chance to show it off.

After Yan Shi left, Xu Rang put on his shoes and found that his schoolbag was also placed on the chair and his mobile phone was on the table. He picked it up and called Shen Yan.

Connected soon.

"Hello? Newcomer, you're awake."

Shen Yan's voice was a little tired. It is estimated that he helped clean up a lot of messes last night after he was drunk.Xu Rang apologized slightly: "Brother Yan, were you the one who took me back to Yan's house last night?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Yan's tone was still tense, "Do you know what you did last night? You—"

Xu Rang quickly apologized: "I'm sorry!"

As soon as he apologized, Shen Yan was completely out of control, and in turn cared: "How are you doing now? Does your head still hurt?"

Xu Rang: "I'm fine." At the end, he couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "Brother Yan, why did you wear a knitted hat last night?"

"Fashion."

"..."

really.

Of course, Shen Yan wouldn't be so stupid as to wear a knitted hat in summer, but when he thought of wearing a head of yellow hair—no, when he met Xu Rang's grandfather with blond hair, he thought it would leave a bad impression.

He can't be beaten with a stick just because of this.

The new one will cry to death.

The two chatted casually, Shen Yan asked him what he was going to do in the afternoon, and Xu Rang told him that Yan Shi was going to take him to the racecourse.

Before Shen Yan could say anything, Xu Rang heard his grandfather urging him downstairs, and he quickly said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.

Shen Yan on the other side hurriedly returned to Shen's house from the community.

As soon as I got home, I played two games of chess with old man Shen, and even lost to him on purpose.

In the end, Old Man Shen blushed and was in a good mood: "Tell me, what else do you want?"

Shen Yan let out a "hey" and went over to help him squeeze his back, "With this kind of static hobby, people tend to grow old. I heard that the grandfather of Jiang's family is in such good health that he can ride a horse now!"

Shen Zhi's beard twitched, as if he had been persuaded.

Shen Yan continued his efforts: "Otherwise... shall we go to the racecourse in the afternoon?"

The racecourse is in the western suburbs of Fog City. The place is remote, but it occupies a large area, and the open environment is suitable for the survival of horses.

Xu Rang knew that his grandfather raised horses, but he never came here once.This is a membership system. When the front desk met Yan, he also brought Xu Rang a set of riding clothes in size S by the way.

After all, it was the first time here, so Xu Rang planned to follow Grandpa for a while, so he put the riding clothes in the dressing room first.

The first thing Yan Shi took him to was the stables. The white horse he raised was completely white, without a trace of stray hair.

Xu Rang tried to touch the horse. The hair was very fluffy, not soft to the touch, and even a little prickly.

He suddenly remembered a certain golden head, which also looked so fluffy, and he didn't know how to feel it.

He didn't dare to touch it either.

Mr. Yan also gave Xu Rang some fodder and taught him how to feed the horses.

After about an hour of leisurely feeding, Yan Shi suddenly said: "I have an old acquaintance who raises horses together. I heard that his grandson can ride a horse, and it happens to be on vacation. You can call him over today and ask him to teach you."

That being said, he actually wanted to have more friends of the same age, and to have more smiles on his face.

Xu Rang really wanted to learn how to ride a horse, so he nodded in agreement.

About 2 minutes later, Yan Shi waved to the two people in the distance: "Here we come, old man Gu, this way!"

Xu Rang looked along, and the corners of his mouth froze immediately.

It turned out that the grandson who could ride a horse was Gu Jingyou.

When the two came over, Xu Rang called out "Hi, Grandpa", but didn't look at Gu Jingyou.

Mr. Gu sized up Xu Rang, "Hey, it's a sign that you have raised this child well."

Yan Shi was proud: "That's it." Then he looked at Gu Jingyou and said, "Your grandson is also handsome by you?"

Gu Jingyou was very polite: "Thank you, Grandpa, for your compliment."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xu Rang, "Student Xu doesn't seem to remember me very much, obviously I was in the same class before."

"Are you in the same class as Xiao Rang? I haven't heard this kid mention it before." Yan Shi was surprised, and patted Xu Rang on the shoulder, "But he is much more cheerful now, and a handsome young man sent him back last night. home."

Gu Jingyou's expression changed, he probably guessed who it was, but immediately recovered his expression, "Then I will try my best to become good friends with Xiao Rang."

Seeing that the two old men were there, Xu Rang didn't want to refute, so he just stood there and didn't speak.

Mr. Gu saw that Xu Rang's expression was a little unnatural. He had indeed heard Mr. Yan mention his grandson, who was a bit introverted.So the two old men exchanged glances, found a reason to go to the house to drink tea, leaving Xu Rang and Gu Jingyou to stay where they were.

Xu Rang was too lazy to chat with Gu Jingyou, so he turned to look for the white horse.

And Gu Jingyou directly grabbed his wrist, "Where does Xu tell you to go?"

Xu Rang shook off him directly.

"Do not touch me."

Shen Yan helped Shen Zhi get a membership card at the front desk, and the front desk knew him: "I haven't seen you here for a long time."

Shen Yan paused, and said righteously: "I'm busy with my studies."

Shen Zhi slapped him on the head, "It doesn't matter how good your grades are?"

Shen Yan: "..."

Shen Yan's previous horse riding outfits were still well preserved, but in the past two years they had grown a lot and couldn't wear them any more, and it was Shen Zhi's first visit. The front desk brought them two new horse riding outfits and said: "What's the matter this afternoon? All the handsome boys are here."

Shen Yan thought she was talking about Xu Rang, and couldn't wait.

However, when he just walked to the stable, he saw two people standing together, very close to each other.

Shen Yan: "???"

This is already the third time he has seen this person surnamed Gu. Could this be the so-called Sangu Thatched Cottage?
