"Okay, but you have to be obedient and sleep obediently after taking a bath."

Yu Tang has nothing to do with him, Yu Mian often has to take medicinal baths because of skin diseases, so there is nothing else in their house, but there is a big bathtub, and he has often helped Yu Mian take baths since she was a child.

"Ok!"

Yu Mian nodded, and when Yu Tang released the water, she raised her voice and asked,

"Brother, I want to eat a piece of snack you brought back."

"Remember to brush your teeth."

Yu Tang leaned on him, and after a while put a bucket of hot water and went out to call Yu Mian, only to see that the little guy had eaten up a box of snacks.

"Is it so delicious?"

Yu Tang looked at the cream on the corner of Yu Mian's mouth and laughed.

"Everything my brother brings back is delicious."

Yu Mian wiped off the cake crumbs from her lips, and dragged Yu Tang into the steamy shower room.

He didn't want Yu Tang to get close to the window.

The only window in the house is the street where the garbage is piled up. Every morning, someone comes to clean it up. At this time, a few cakes with chocolate shavings and red cherries are quietly thrown in the garbage dump.

But Yu Mian, who threw away those cakes, still had a sweet smile, pretending to be savoring the deliciousness of those pastries.

He squatted obediently in the bathtub, and obediently let Yu Tang pour hot water to wash off the scum on his body.

Yu Tang was only wearing a thin shirt, and the steaming water vapor drenched his clothes, revealing the colorful crabapple pattern on Yu Tang's back.

"elder brother?"

Yu Mian's eyes were sharp, and she sensitively noticed the colored painting on his brother's back. While Yu Tang was leaning over to scoop water, he reached out and touched the petals of the crabapple, which made Yu Tang tremble violently.

"What is this? Someone drew it for my brother? On the back? Who drew it?"

Yu Tang suddenly remembered the painting that Mu Jingchen had left on his back. He had been lying to Yu Mian that he was only helping to change the painting and doing chores in the studio. Mu Jingchen painted on the back.

"It wasn't drawn by someone else,"

Yu Tang's face was unhurried, and he hid the panic just now so that nothing leaked,

"I drew it myself in the mirror," he said as he raised his hand and tapped Yu Mian's nose, "Yu Xiaomian, what kind of messy things are you thinking about at such a young age?"

"Oh,"

Yu Mian sat back in the bathtub, buried half of her face in the water and spit out a bunch of bubbles, "Because my brother looks easy to bully, I'm afraid someone will plot against you."

"Your brother is also a man. According to your thinking, don't there are so many girls on the street that everyone should be in danger?"

"None of them are as good-looking as my brother."

Yu Mian pouted, thought for a while and then asked, "Then I'll help brother wash off the painting later, it will be very troublesome if it gets on the bed sheet at night."

"Well,"

Yu Tang paused, remembering that Mu Jingchen told him during dinner today, saying that he hadn't finished painting this crabapple today and would continue painting tomorrow.

Sensing Yu Tang's hesitation, Yu Mian bit her lower lip lightly, the flower shadow reflected in his black and white pupils became more dazzling,

"Brother is reluctant?"

"how come."

Yu Tang poured a ladle of water on Yu Mian's back to help wash off the soap scum on his back, "You go and wipe it off before going to sleep, I will wash it off myself."

"You really don't want my help?"

Yu Mian blinked her big innocent eyes. Ever since she was young because of bandits who broke up her family, Yu Tang had worked hard to take him around to seek medical treatment. She finally settled down in Yulin City. She said that Yu Tang didn't love him. Impossible, but for more than ten years, Yu Tang never took a bath with him, and never promised to sleep with him.

Yu Mian is very clear that his elder brother instinctively resists physical contact with people, perhaps because Yu Tang is too beautiful and too easy to attract people's imagination, and the gossip and rumors he has suffered are too heavy because of this, which makes him feel uncomfortable in the future. Exposing your body in front of others is extra sensitive.

That's why Yu Mian cares so much about the painting on Yu Tang's back.

You can see the strong and delicate smudging between strokes and strokes, which is definitely not something you can draw with your backhand, but why would Yu Tang be willing to let others touch her body?Who would he allow to scribble on his back like that?

"I'm not disabled, but it's not good if you catch a cold."

Yu Tang pulled out a towel and wrapped it around Yu Mian, urging him to go to bed.

"Know it."

Yu Mian stuck out her tongue, and after getting dressed, Yu Tang pushed her out of the bathroom. He sat on the bed and wiped his hair while staring at the dim light in the bathroom. The warm light cast Yu Tang's movement of taking off his shirt onto the tiles Blurry silhouette.

He gently slid his Adam's apple and turned his head away.

After a while, the light in the bathroom dimmed. With wet hair, Yu Tang put a towel on his shoulders to clean the floor and walked out lightly, meeting Yu Mian's big eyes.

"why are not you sleeping?"

Yu Tang laughed.

He and Yu Mian have always slept in separate beds, leaving the big bed for Yu Mian, while he built a simple narrow bed in the corner.

"Check you're clean."

Yu Mian sat up, "Washing the sheets is so tiring, I feel sorry for my brother."

"If you know that you love me, you can quickly cover the quilt and sleep quietly."

"I want to help my brother brush his hair."

Yu Mian put the quilt on her shoulders, and assured Yu Tang that she would not catch a cold because of it, which made Yu Tang sit beside his bed without saying a word, and let him wipe her hair with a towel.

The cheap shampoo used on Yu Tang has an imaginative smell, cool and charming, like a light-colored Tang flower.

"Have you finished reading the books I brought you back from the military academy?"

Yu Tang inadvertently glanced at the books next to the pillow, all of which were given to him by the students in the studio after reading them. There are Miscellaneous Notes on Novels and General Theory of Art. don't read.

"After reading it, there is only the first volume of this travel diary. After reading it, I remembered that I read the whole volume when I was a child... At that time, my father liked to buy books for us the most. I still remember that my brother and I saved a room full of calligraphy and paintings... ..."

Before Yu Mian finished speaking, Yu Tang covered her mouth,

"Yu Xiaomian, did I tell you that we are just homeless refugees who were sold to Yulin by human traffickers? Yulin City belongs to the Mu family. If we don't completely forget the past, sooner or later even you and I will die in their hands." men."

"I won't forget, how could I forget,"

Yu Mian shook her head, "Brother, can you forget? If you forget, who will avenge your parents and sister?"

"If you can't even survive, how can you talk about revenge?"

Yu Tang stood up, turned off the blackened tungsten lamp, and pressed Yu Mian into the quilt, "These are not things you should think about, and don't mention them in the future."

"……understood."

Yu Mian hesitated to speak, but finally bit her lip and buried her head in the quilt.

In the middle of the night, the cars speeding past outside the door throw their pale headlights into their narrow windows, reflecting the lingering tear stains on the travel notes, which are particularly dazzling.

What they want to forget is not only the gift of their father and the warm home, but also the unwillingness to fall from heaven to hell, from the lights to the dark ice cave.

It was also late at night, and there were still dots of lights in the Mu Garden.

The young master Mu Jingchen's study room was brightly lit, and he was turning a brush dipped in crimson paint, staring at the begonia he had just painted in front of him carefully.

"Or Xifu Haitang is more suitable for him, what do you think?"

He put away the paintings on the table and looked out the silent window. After a while, he saw the driver Zhen Hui, who had been responsible for picking him up, quietly stepped into the study room. Zhen Hui sighed and glanced at Mu. The pile of paintings drawn by Jingchen said helplessly:

"I saw that they were all the same red flowers, and I couldn't tell which species they were."

"I didn't expect you to taste something different." Mu Jingchen shrugged, knocked on the table twice to signal him to pour tea himself, "How is the investigation?"

"I've been to the military school's information department, but by coincidence, I couldn't find Yutang's files. The people in the department told me that he was directly introduced to work by Zou Weiyi. He turned a blind eye and did not force him to keep a file."

"How did Zou Weiyi meet him?"

"It is said that at an art exhibition, Young Master Zou and Yu Tang had the same views on a certain painting. They hit it off immediately and became friends. I heard from people in the military academy that Young Master Zou often asked Yu Tang to watch exhibitions and appreciate paintings together."

"Well, we hit it off right away, I like looking at paintings,"

Mu Jingchen repeated it, touching the edge of the inkstone with his fingers one by one, making it hard not to feel that he didn't have any bad intentions,

"From tomorrow onwards, you will pay attention to the big and small exhibitions held in the city. As long as someone does it, no matter how young he is, he will book two tickets for me."

"Ah? Haven't you always looked down on those things?"

Zhen Hui scratched his head.

"Is my ulterior motive in the painting? Even Zou Weiyi has a good relationship with Xiao Haitang, so I can't fall behind."

Mu Jingchen made a gesture to hit Zhen Hui's stupid head, but Zhen Hui dodged with his head in his arms.

"Brother, I don't understand. Although this Yu Tang was born beautiful, why do you care so much about him? Haven't you been looking for the white moonlight on Xianshou Mountain that made you fall in love at first sight? Suddenly..."

"Isn't this found?"

Mu Jingchen chuckled, and couldn't help recalling Yutang's obedient way of chewing the cake like a bunny in his mind.

"Ah? Oh!"

Zhen Hui suddenly realized, "I shouldn't call him Mr. Yu today, I should call him sister-in-law! But why did you ask me to investigate sister-in-law? Didn't you see that sister-in-law lives in a poor dilapidated house and has a hard life? Seeing it is pitiful. Man, what is there to investigate?"

Zhen Hui was brought out from the barracks by Mu Jingchen all the way, and he didn't speak as cautiously as the other servants in Mu's mansion, but he was loyal to Mu Jingchen first-class.

"People who grew up in the slums know how to appreciate pictures, read and write, use knives and forks proficiently, and even know the etiquette at the western table?"

"Maybe it's because Master Zou has brought his sister-in-law to see him?"

"Different,"

Mu Jingchen shook his head, "The elegance in your bones cannot be hidden or imitated."

"Then, what do you mean...?"

Zhen Hui shook his head again, "Are you worried that he approached you on purpose?"

"If only there was such a thing,"

Mu Jingchen sighed, although he treated Yutang to a meal, it could be seen that he was still alienated from him, "I want to find out if someone has caused his family to fall to this point, if it is found out Someone, do you think I have to avenge him?"

"It's only natural to vent your anger on my sister-in-law!"

Zhen Hui patted his chest, "Don't worry, there is no news in this world that I can't find out. Within three days, I will definitely help you list all the people who have offended sister-in-law's three generations of ancestors!"

"You can,"

Mu Jingchen was amused by Zhen Hui, "What about the other thing I asked you to do?"

"Ah, that one,"

Zhen Hui lowered his head in embarrassment, "How can I say that he is a pastry chef hired by the restaurant at a high price, so it is not so easy to come over. Besides, if my sister-in-law really likes to eat, you can just take him to the restaurant every day."

"You still don't believe me if you say you're useless, go and run again as soon as possible, if you don't want to be soft, come hard, if you tie me up, I'll tie that pastry chef to the military academy."

Mu Jingchen said resolutely, "If Xiao Haitang can't eat small cakes in the cafeteria tomorrow, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish."
