Shi Yunnan stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you a man who speaks well when he is about to die, or...is it hard for you, and you don't want others to have a good time?"

A vague smile overflowed from Xie Keyue's throat, there was no madness in those eyes, only a subtle pity remained, "Shi Yunnan, Shi Yunnan, do you really think that Luo Lingsheng has you in his heart?"

The digital watch above the glass compartment started counting down, and there was 1 minute left in the visitation time.

"It seems that you don't want me to have a better life?" Shi Yunnan walked back slowly, and stood in front of the glass window, "Don't give up that idea, I know he once had someone he liked, but I don't care."

"Don't care? If you really love him, how can you not care? "

Xie Keyue didn't believe his words at all, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Shi Yunnan, you will always live in Wen Yibei's shadow, aren't you tired?"

Every word, like a machete infused with killing intent, pierced into Shi Yunnan's heart.

"Compared to Wen Yibei, do you know how unbearable you are? Back then when the Shi and Wen families were fighting for a child, who wouldn't want Wen Yibei? Does anyone want you?"

"You thought the existing Luo family belonged to you? Wrong, big mistake."

"Don't you believe it? I understand the final ending of this story better than anyone else."

Xie Keyue stuck to the glass window without blinking, and his eyes deliberately fell to Shi Yunnan's fingertips, "If Luo Lingsheng really loves you, why doesn't he give you a ring after you have obtained the certificate for so long?"

"Have you finished?" Shi Yunnan calmly accepted his provocation, and smiled calmly, "I can trust Luo Lingsheng."

"..."

The simple seven words sent Xie Keyue back.

"I should show it off to you. I have a husband, an elder brother, a grandfather, an uncle, and a good friend. By the way, there is also a little nephew who hugs me and acts like a spoiled child every day. Do you know what it feels like to be surrounded by love? "

The corners of Xie Ke's raised mouth froze completely.

Shi Yunnan propped his hands in front of the glass window, leaning slightly forward to approach.

"I forgot to tell you that Shi Sheng and the old man, whom you have been courting all this time, also wanted to hand over the Shi family's private property and company to me some time ago."

"You and Shi's smuggling will have an accident, and I also got the news of your opponent in advance, but it's a pity that I don't care about those broken assets."

"..."

Xie Keyue's chest was heaved by Shi Yunnan's stabbing.

The more the other party showed indifference, the more ridiculous his paranoid pursuits in the past were.

"Xie Keyue, it's time for you to admit it." Shi Yunnan stood up again and announced with a victor's posture, "You are the complete loser."

These words were like a thunderbolt, and Xie Keyue's complexion was distorted suddenly.

It's visiting time.

Shi Yunnan turned around and walked out, behind him was still Xie Keyue's chaotic clamor——

"Shi Yunnan! I'm not lying!"

"Don't even think about it, how many times Wen Yibei is better than you!"

"Everything you've got now was given to you by Wen Yibei!"

"Sooner or later, you will be completely lost! You are the one who will never be loved!"

When Shi Yunnan heard these remarks, a slight crack appeared in his pupils, and he walked quickly towards the outside of the prison.

Seeing that his lies could not arouse the slightest gaffe from the other party, Xie Ke took a few deep breaths, and finally fell back to his seat decadently.

"..."

Xie Ke covered his face slowly and half-beat, and burst into tears belatedly.

Some people are good at seizing opportunities in adversity and relying on their excellent ability to turn around and win.

And what about him?

After a smooth start, he forced himself to such an ending.

Up until now, all Xie Keyue's reluctance was attributed to one cognition - he had completely lost to Shi Yunnan.

...

There was a muffled sound from the car door.

Shi Yunnan fell back on the car seat, got on the steering wheel casually, and tried to calm down his fluctuating emotions with deep breaths.

Suddenly, he glanced at his empty ring finger from the corner of his eye, and in the next second, his hands unconsciously clenched the steering wheel tightly.

"..."

For some reason, Shi Yunnan's mind was filled with Xie Keyue's roar, which was like a fight between trapped beasts.

——You will always live in Wen Yibei's shadow, aren't you tired?

——It's been so long since you got the certificate, why is Luo Lingsheng still unwilling to give you a ring?

——You are the one who will never be loved!

Shi Yunnan subconsciously took out his mobile phone, and his fingertips were fixed in front of his lover's familiar WeChat avatar, but he hesitated to change his target.

Shi Yunnan called Wen Yibei.

When the ticking sound of the connection echoed in Shi Yunnan's ears, within half a minute, Shi Yunnan hung up the phone viciously, and let out a self-deprecating laugh for the first time.

"Stupid, what's the call?"

It was obvious that Xie Ke was trying to drive them apart, how could he still jump into the pit?

Shi Yunnan threw the phone on the passenger seat, adjusted his mood and drove towards home.

...

Shi Yunnan skipped his afternoon shift to go to the prison, and it's still early to return to Luo's house. The housekeeper, Qin Bo, is directing the servants to clean up.

Shi Yunnan went up to the second floor, and there was still a smell of fruity detergent in the corridor.

Uncle Qin met Shi Yunnan's figure and hurried up to greet him, "Mr. Shi, why did you come back so early today?"

Shi Yunnan replied, "I'll be back when I'm done."

Just in time, the servant came over, "Uncle Qin, the second floor has been cleaned except for the study, so shall we go down first?"

When Shi Yunnan heard this, his eyes unconsciously shifted to the study at the end of the corridor.

——Don’t go into the study room at the end of the second floor, do whatever else you want.

This is what Luo Lingsheng told him not long after he entered the Luo family.

Shi Yunnan has always been a person who doesn't like to involve other people's private affairs. At first it was because of the 'marriage by agreement' that it was unnecessary. Later, he and Luo Lingsheng developed a normal relationship, and he also felt that Luo Lingsheng should be given enough private space.

Over time, he automatically suppressed this initial curiosity.

Shi Yunnan withdrew his gaze slowly, "...doesn't the study need to be cleaned?"

The servant answered before the butler, "The master loves his study very much. Even if he has limited mobility these years, he has to clean everything about the study himself!"

"So caring?"

Shi Yunnan twitched the corners of his mouth, and his thoughts wandered again.

"The head of the family usually works in the study, and there are some important documents in it, so the servants are usually not allowed in, so as not to delay things." The butler added.

Let alone a servant, even he dare not step in easily.

Shi Yunnan still hasn't answered the call.

The butler, who knows how to read words and expressions, saw his distracted state, and was a little worried, "Mr. Shi, are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Shi Yunnan restrained his thoughts, and replied casually, "Ling Xuan should arrive at the Imperial Capital in the next day."

There are some questions that are pressing in my heart, so I can ask them when I meet tomorrow.

The butler laughed, with relief and anticipation on his face, "Yes, I heard from Yuan Meng two days ago that the Patriarch's legs are much better. After waiting for these years, I finally got the hope."

Shi Yunnan also felt that he was looking forward to it, so he smiled and said, "I'll go back to my room to rest for a while, you guys go to work first? Uncle Qin, it's almost time to pick up the little goldfish."

"it is good."

Seeing Shi Yunnan's smile, Uncle Qin didn't think about it, and called the servants on the second floor to go downstairs together.

Shi Yunnan walked towards his room, changed his destination after only three seconds, and stopped at the study at the end of the corridor after walking a few steps.

He hesitated for a while staring at the closed solid wooden door, but he couldn't hold back and pushed the door open.

The door made a slight knock, revealing the world inside into Shi Yunnan's field of vision - pure to the extreme black and white, very in line with Luo Lingsheng's usual style of doing things.

Shi Yunnan closed the door of the room, and approached the most conspicuous desk lightly. Apart from all kinds of office utensils and documents on the desk, the most eye-catching thing was the black square jar.

"...They are legally married, so it shouldn't matter if I just take a look at them?"

Shi Yunnan grumbled, and after making self-affirmative psychological construction, he opened the black jar.

Different from the simple and atmospheric appearance, the cans are filled with all fruit candies.

Shi Yunnan was startled, and then let out a sweet smile, "When I gave it to him for the first time, you still didn't like it? Why did you hide so much in private?"

No wonder that when he was unhappy twice, his lover could conjure him up with candy.

Shi Yunnan peeled off the candy wrapper and tasted one.

Still familiar taste, sweet.

Shi Yunnan's gaze continued to search downwards, and landed on the drawer with a combination lock, as if there was some traction somewhere, waiting for him to dig out the treasure hidden inside.

Shi Yunnan bent down, and entered the six-digit password of his birthday with his intuition.

--Jingle Bell.

The electronic prompt sounding for successful unlocking.

Satisfied, Shi Yunnan curled his lips, and slowly opened the drawer on the first floor.In the next second, he saw a well-preserved invitation letter.

It's just that the appearance of the invitation always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"..."

Seeming to have an answer in his mind suddenly, Shi Yunnan stopped pulling the drawer, took out the invitation letter with his right hand as if uncontrollably, and opened it again.

——Sincerely invite Mr. Luo Lingsheng of the Luo family to participate in the daily banquet of Wen Yibei, the grandson of the Wen family.

The moment the first line of words came into view, Shi Yunnan froze the smile on the corner of his mouth, his mind was full of those words he had heard before.

——At the birthday party, Mr. Luo and his friends came.

——Luo Lingsheng, do you still have an impression of me?

——It's been a long time, I don't remember clearly.

——Today's birthday party is all for Wen Yibei, do you think someone knows you?

——Shi Yunnan, you will always live in Wen Yibei's shadow, aren't you tired?

The phone rang suddenly.

Shi Yunnan was suddenly pulled out of the illusion of nothingness, he gasped for breath, and then slowly took out the cell phone in his pocket.

Wen Yibei.

There is no name more familiar to Shi Yunnan than this in the world.

Shi Yunnan closed his eyes to adjust his breathing and emotions, and answered the phone pretending to be relaxed, "Hello, brother?"

"Yunnan, I just had a meeting at the Kaiyin Academy, and it's just over now."

Wen Yibei's soft tone came through the phone, mixed with a touch of intimacy unique to his elder brother, "Why are you calling me suddenly? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just, it's just that I'm bored this afternoon and want to chat with you." Shi Yunnan made an excuse.

"How old are you? Are you afraid of being bored and chatting with your brother?" Wen Yibei laughed at him.

Clutching the invitation letter in his hand, Shi Yunnan still couldn't help asking, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"Huh? You said."

"Besides the birthday party, have you met Luo Lingsheng on other occasions before?"

The phone communication blurred the lack of confidence in Shi Yunnan's tone.

Wen Yibei has always trusted his younger brother, only when he was curious about Luo Lingsheng's past, so he thought for a while before saying, "I have been busy with overseas business development these years, and I haven't returned to China many times."

"Occasionally, we met a few times when we returned to China to attend a banquet in the imperial capital circle, but Mr. Luo and I are not familiar with each other at all.

After Wen Yibei finished speaking, he remembered something, "But..."

"But what?"

"Mr. Luo unexpectedly came to my first solo concert overseas. I only heard from the staff at the end of the concert that there was a celebratory flower basket from him outside the door."

Wen Yibei is very popular in the music circle, countless friends sent flowers and blessings that day.

"..."

Shi Yunnan's eyes were sour, and his mind was completely out of the phone call.

Because at the same time Wen Yibei was answering, he saw the concert ticket in the drawer under the invitation letter.

Shi Yunnan recognized the English on the ticket, it was the theme of Wen Yibei's first solo concert.

"Yunnan, if you want to know about your family secretly, you should go to his circle of friends to inquire..."

Wen Yibei on the other end of the phone noticed a gasp, and suddenly stopped talking sensitively, and asked nervously, "Yunnan? Why didn't you speak all of a sudden?"

"It's okay, just a little sleepy all of a sudden."

Shi Yunnan put the invitation letter back to the original position in the drawer, trying to suppress his emotions, "Brother, I'd better sleep for a while, and have dinner with you and grandpa in two days."

"Are you all right?" Wen Yibei asked worriedly.

"What can I do? It's wealth and life, and I will be sleepy now."

Shi Yunnan tried his best to dispel Wen Yibei's worries and doubts, and took advantage of the moment before his emotions broke down to hang up the phone.

——Isn't the Patriarch hiding someone in his heart?How could you just find someone to marry?

——The head of the family had an object he liked very much before, but before he could pursue him, he had an accident and injured his leg.

——I guess, maybe it is hiding something that the previous partner kept.

——Shi Yunnan, don't even think about how many times Wen Yibei is better than you!

——Everything you have obtained now is actually given to you by Wen Yibei!

The conversations that were originally thought to be ridiculous were connected in series at this moment, and actually formed a truth that Shi Yunnan had never thought of before.

"Is that right?"

"Curiosity killed the cat, so that's what it means."

Shi Yunnan snorted twice as if mocking himself, he no longer had the curiosity to continue looking down, and quickly left the study.

The housekeeper had already set off to pick up the little goldfish, so Shi Yunnan took the opportunity to get some strong whiskey from the wine room on the first floor, and locked himself in the bedroom when he returned to the second floor.

"Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off, please try again later..."

Shi Yunnan can't remember how many times he called Luo Lingsheng for this matter. He knew that he couldn't be connected on the plane, and he knew that he was not in a hurry to ask the truth at this moment, but he couldn't help but call again and again. call back.

Finally, the mobile phone turned off automatically when it ran out of battery.

Shi Yunnan looked at his numb face on the black screen of the phone, he who was used to enduring tears in everything, finally shed tears in failure.

Anyone is fine.

Why does it have to be Wen Yibei?

Shi Yunnan desperately asked questions in his mind.

If the 'white moonlight' hidden in Luo Lingsheng's heart was anyone else, Shi Yunnan was confident that he could take his place, but only Wen Yibei couldn't.

No matter how crazy or irrational Xie Ke was, Shi Yunnan had to admit that he was right - even if they were twins, Wen Yibei was very different from him, he couldn't compare to his own brother.

Shi Yunnan never resented Wen Yibei, and relied more on trusting this fellow brother, but this did not affect his deep-seated cognition bit by bit——

Since the choice when he was seven years old, his life has completely widened the gap with Wen Yibei.

From childhood to adulthood, Shi Yunnan could pretend not to listen to or believe the ridicule of outsiders, and he could also learn to encourage, inspire and even pretend to be himself, but deep down he was inferior, sensitive and lonely.

Therefore, he understood Yuan Rui back then, and understood the pain that the other party thought he was living under the shadow of 'Senior Brother'.

Right now, Shi Yunnan can trust Luo Lingsheng and Wen Yibei, but he can't trust himself.

If Luo Lingsheng's Bai Yueguang is Wen Yibei, then he is the one who will never be surpassed in his whole life.

...

When the housekeeper knocked on the door, Shi Yunnan didn't return; when the little goldfish knocked on the door, Shi Yunan didn't answer.

After being drunk, Shi Yunnan curled up on the sofa, letting the alcohol scorching his body, and the pain suppressed for many years raged in his body until his sanity was eroded and swallowed up bit by bit.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a hasty knock on the door.

Shi Yunnan's drowsy rationality was awakened again, he raised his head slowly, and an all-too-familiar figure broke into his sight.

"... Are you back? I, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Without the teasing in the past, he asked back with a bleak sense of inferiority.

Luo Lingsheng met Shi Yunnan's red eyes that had never been seen before, his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a pair of invisible big hands, the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

When he got off the plane, he saw hundreds of caller IDs popping up on his phone.

From that moment on, Luo Lingsheng almost frantically asked Yuan Meng to rush home. He called the housekeeper halfway, but only got ambiguous news——

Mr. Shi didn't know what happened to him, he locked himself in the room since last night.

Luo Lingsheng rushed home as fast as he could, only to see the scene in front of him: the lover who had always been in pain huddled on the sofa, and the floor was full of empty wine bottles.

Luo Lingsheng immediately approached and leaned forward, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Shi Yunnan habitually tilted his head, and silently rubbed Luo Lingsheng's palm, "Luo Lingsheng, do you love him now or me?"

"Who?"

Luo Lingsheng frowned.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Yunnan smiled wryly and shook his head.

He lowered his head to hide his tears, and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you still hiding it from me? I, I already knew..."

Shi Yunnan noticed that there was no wheelchair beside Luo Lingsheng, smiled with tears in his eyes, and then began to stubbornly express, "You used to have someone you liked very much, but you didn't chase after him because of his inconvenient legs."

"Now your legs and feet are almost healed, do you still want to chase him?"

"I've thought about it. I don't want to let others go, but if it's him, I can quit."

"I, Shi Yunnan, am not someone who can't be picked up and let go. The worst, the worst, continue to hide abroad and never come back."

Shi Yunnan was surrounded by the sour feeling emanating from the inside out.

Luo Lingsheng, who heard his lover's intention to leave, suddenly changed his face, and directly locked his lover in his arms, "You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Maybe it was because his tone was too serious, Shi Yunnan trembled unconsciously.

Luo Lingsheng's heart ached for a moment, but he asked helplessly, "Who did you hear that I liked someone else?"

Seeing that he was trapped in his arms and unable to break free, Shi Yunnan yelled, "You don't need to deny it, I just know that you have a white moonlight hidden in your heart!"

"If you love him to death until now, don't provoke me!"

"..."

Luo Lingsheng rubbed his fingertips on his cheek to comfort him, seemingly unable to answer, "Bai Yueguang? Are you jealous of 'this man'?"

"Acquiescence? Why am I jealous? Do you think I'm a rarity?" Shi Yunnan held back his tears to try to be brave, but his voice trembled a little, "But why do you all like him?"

"Luo Lingsheng, why do you all like my brother?"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Luo Lingsheng suddenly realized the reason for Shi Yunnan's pain.

Before he could explain, Shi Yunnan fell into a complete breakdown, and asked in a deep crying voice, "Why doesn't anyone like me?"

"Grandpa doesn't like me, and dad doesn't like me either. They all want Yibei to stay in the Shi family. On the surface, they let us choose, but everyone wants my brother, and they don't want me."

The young Shi Yunnan only remembered that Wen Min said before his death that Wen's family is a good place to learn music.

"Obviously I was very good when I was young. It was me, I who gave up my favorite violin before my brother."

"Luo Lingsheng, do you know? I won an award when I was young. I can actually do as well as my brother. I also want to hold my own concert!"

"If I had chosen the Wen family back then... maybe, maybe..."

Luo Lingsheng's hands around Shi Yunnan became tighter, "Maybe what?"

"If you had attended the birthday party in my name and watched the concert in my name back then, you might have fallen in love with me."

"..."

Luo Lingsheng suddenly understood when he heard these intermittent remarks, "You have been to the study, haven't you?"

Shi Yunnan was immersed in his own despair, completely ignoring Luo Lingsheng's question.

He is too tired.

The years I have survived on my own are really exhausting.

"I don't want to go to a foreign school, I don't want to be bullied by those foreign classmates, I don't want to be locked up in a warehouse so dark that I can't see anything, and I don't want to wear a doll costume and hand out flyers to earn my own salary in summer..."

"Why do I have to be the one nobody wants! Why do Shi Houde and Shi Sheng not want me!"

"What did I not do well? What did I not do well!"

"No one ever told me what I didn't do well, and didn't even give me a chance to change, and then they didn't want me."

Luo Lingsheng felt sad for a while, and instead of dissuading the hysterical Shi Yunnan, he let Shi Yunnan vent in his arms.

Luo Lingsheng knew it better than anyone else.

Whether it was Shi Yunnan who was drunk, or Shi Yunnan who was lying in his arms now, the only two crying were enough to prove the grievance hidden deep in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute, until Shi Yunnan calmed down in his arms.

Luo Lingsheng took the opportunity to kiss his lover's forehead, stroked his head, cheeks, neck, and then patted his back over and over again to comfort him.

"Yunnan, they don't want you, I want you, I always want you."

"You're lying..." Shi Yunnan looked up, after being hysterical, only grievance remained, "You hid the invitation letter for the birthday party, and the tickets for the concert, I saw them all."

Luo Lingsheng approached and asked, "Only these two things?"

Shi Yunnan pursed his lips, "Aren't these two things enough?"

Luo Lingsheng bit his ear as if punishing him, and replied word by word, "Shi Yunnan, you heard clearly."

"At the birthday party, you were the one who made me care about you."

"I guessed at the beginning that you would go to Wen Yibei's solo concert, so I ran to listen to that concert by accident."

"I didn't intend to keep the ticket for the concert as a souvenir for Wen Yibei, but I picked it up after you left it on the seat after the concert."

"There are not only drawers in the study, but the things hidden in other places are also related to you. If you want to see it, I will show you one by one slowly."

Shi Yunnan didn't react for a while, but he still missed the temperature in Luo Lingsheng's arms, and was reluctant to move, "You, you don't like my brother?"

"I disdain to find a substitute to satisfy my feelings, and I have always distinguished the two of you brothers very clearly."

Shi Yunnan gradually realized that he had made a mistake before, and let out an embarrassed hum from his nasal cavity, only to hear Luo Lingsheng solemnly say——

"Shi Yunnan, from the very beginning, the person hidden in my heart is you."
