Ambush from all sides

Zhan Hao left home, without his swaying figure and occasional harassment, Dead Leaf suddenly felt a lot more bored.In the yard, Pei Xi took his two younger brothers and sisters to play around, digging soil for a while, and climbing trees for a while, without stopping.Min Wei was cleaning the lobby, and when she saw it, she would hold her throat and teach her a lesson from a distance, but most of the time she let them go.Ji Tang was still the same as before, tidying up the room and doing housework together with Yuke and a few little girls.The dress wrapped in Xiaojiao has been pulled by her to the point of rot, and it is full of cat hair. When Ji Tang tidied it up, he couldn't help but tell Dead Leaf, Brother Cen, please change to an old dress and let her wrap it up. The things were all dirty, but she couldn't take them away even though she was pulling at me.

Withered Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rummaged through the closet until she found the oldest dress she wore to Changzhou.I used to think that the worn-out coarse cloth was nothing, but now that I am used to wearing good clothes, I noticed a gap.Throwing the clothes to Xiao Jiao, Ji Tang successfully took away the dirty clothes covered in cat fur.The cat happily rolled around in the clothes, biting and tearing, which made him inexplicably nervous.Sure enough, after a while, the back of the clothes was ripped open by the bastard.

Look at the cat, go to the west courtyard to do some chores, or practice kung fu in the east courtyard. Living like this, the days become longer in an instant.Sometimes it feels like a long time has passed, but when I look at the sky, it is actually less than half an hour.Withered Ye was a little depressed, she fell into the bed and wrapped herself up, thinking that she really missed him that much?It's just gone, and I don't know what to do.

At this time, the winter snow has melted, all trees are in spring, and the grass and trees in the yard are slowly sprouting.The dry wisteria grows small fluffy leaves, and the winter jasmine on the wall bears golden yellow flower buds, which bloom every day.Afterwards, every time Fang Qiu came to play with dead leaves, he would ask him to pick two of them, hold them in his hands for a while, and then stick them on his temples in a blink of an eye.This is something I have learned a lot from Zhan Hao, who likes flowers and likes to wear them on people.

A few days passed like this, and one day in the middle of the night, Dead Leaf woke up in a daze, always feeling as if she heard the cry of a baby.He sat up sleepily, and suddenly found that the little mandarin duck and the little horn were not at the bedside!I stared blankly and thought for a while, and realized that I didn't see them much yesterday.At this time, a clear and shrill cry of a baby suddenly sounded outside the window, startling the dead leaves, thinking how could there be babies in the yard?Putting on a cotton coat and going out to have a look, I saw a small horn on top of the wall, cocking its tail high and yelling "Aww", walking along the wall all the way.And behind her, with a distance of more than ten feet, stood three cats that she had never seen before!They all squatted on the wall and stared at her.

This, is this in heat?Dead Leaves was a little dazed, Little Horn girl yelled like a baby while looking critically at the cats, feeling dissatisfied for a while, turned around and jumped off the wall.Seeing Dead Leaf standing at the door of the room, she trotted towards him, howling and rubbing against his leg vigorously.Withered Ye Jiong stared intently at the unusually clingy little horn, not knowing what to do for a while.The girl Xiaojiao rubbed against him for a while, feeling bored, turned around and ran towards the courtyard gate, and disappeared after a while.

At that moment, Dead Leaf suddenly felt a little complicated.That kind of feeling is like a girl who has grown up and her parents can't control her anymore.If Xiaojiao is really in heat, it means that after a period of time, another litter of cats will be born in the family.Thinking of the pictures of small, fluffy cats with unsteady legs and eyes that have not yet opened, they can only move around with limp legs... Withered Ye silently felt a little longing again.

Xiaojiao has grown up too... While sighing, Dead Ye couldn't help but think about the reunion with Zhan Hao last year.Those ordinary relationships that he didn't care about before, now he feels faintly happy when he thinks back, and he realizes that Zhan Hao's liking for him is not sudden, but there are clues everywhere, but he didn't think about it.

With this memory, my sleepy head became clearer.Withered Ye sighed, then put on her clothes and sat down on the porch, looked at the yard, at the moonlit night... Zhan Hao, who was in Suzhou at this time, was probably still asleep.

The next day, the clothes that Zhan Hao asked Master Liang to make before were finished, but the guys in the clothes shop were busy during this time, so they had to pick them up by themselves.Min Wei was also busy at home, thinking that Dead Leaf had nothing to do, she planned to ask him to go.At this time, Fang Qiu ran past, and the little girl asked him to wake up the dead leaves: "Brother Mask is going to get clothes, can you go with him?" Hearing that he can go out to play, Fang Qiu nodded excitedly , trotted away.

Joyfully ran all the way to the east courtyard, but the little guy found that the masked brother hadn't gotten up yet, and the door was closed.He tentatively patted it a few times, and after a while, there was a vague sound of dead leaves inside, apparently just woken up: "... who is it?"

Fang Qiu pouted, and said a little unhappy: "Brother, are you still sleeping?"

Hearing Fang Qiu's voice, Dead Ye rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and got up.Opening the door, the little guy raised his head, looked at him with big eyes blinking, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Minwei told you to get the clothes and take me with you." Think, ah, get the clothes, all right.Kneeling down, he carried the child in and put it beside the bed. Dead Leaf took out the clothes sleepily, and then began to wear them one by one.

Fang Qiu was swinging his feet beside the bed, his small mouth was pouted happily, and his eyes were bright and warm.He glanced at the dead leaf who was wearing pants, and asked in a waxy voice, "Brother, when will Uncle Zhan come back?"

Dead Leaf paused for a while, then continued to dress and tie her belt for a while: "Well, I don't know, it will take another seven or eight days."

"Ah, it's been so long!" Fang Qiu tilted his head unhappily, jumped up and down on the ground, circling around: "Fang Qiu wants to show his uncle, but he hasn't come back yet..." Wandering around, bumping his head On his lap, he embraced him, looked up at the dead leaves with his round face, and said, "Brother, do you want to see Uncle Zhan?"

At this moment, Dead Leaf was just putting on all her clothes, and when she heard this question, she paused again: "Well, that's okay."

Fang Qiu blinked and continued to ask: "It's okay? It's okay, do you want to or don't want to?"

Withered Ye faltered while washing her face: "It's just okay."

After tidying up and pulling him out, Xiao Fangqiu followed him quickly while continuing to ask, "If you don't want to say it, then you want to?" He picked it up and walked towards the gate, muttering in a low voice for a while: "You guessed it, but I didn't say it."

Zhan Hao asked Mr. Liang to make those few clothes for the dead leaves. When picking up the clothes in the clothes shop, the master Liang seemed very proud of these works, and he had to take each one out to compare with the dead leaves. .While making gestures, he asked Fang Qiu beside him, "Xiaowa, do you look good?"

Fang Qiu nodded seriously: "Looks good, brother is so handsome!"

Hearing what he called the dead leaves, Master Liang couldn't help being happy: "Why do you call Boss Zhan an uncle and his friend an elder brother? You are so inferior!" Fang Qiu didn't quite understand what it meant, so he scratched Scratching his head, he said, "Uncle Zhan taught me this way, so I'll call him that." Dead Ye was also a little embarrassed, and hadn't thought about it for such a long time, calling him a generation younger than Zhan Hao, this is Take advantage of him.

After taking the clothes, Dead Leaf went back with Fang Qiu in her arms.Many people stared at them as they walked down the street.There is no way, the people in Changzhou know more or less the background of these two people, a grandson of a wealthy Ma family, but now his household registration is under the name of the Zhan family; Young and old are rare and tight.Both Dead Leaf and Fang Qiu were a little annoyed by the sight, and thought that it would be impossible without a Zhan family around them to manage the place. It was much better when Min Wei was around, at least they didn't dare to look at it so blatantly.But at least he is a person who has been in the rivers and lakes, Dead Leaf frowned, and when his face cooled down, the air pressure in his body suddenly dropped a lot.The people on the street looked at him inexplicably and felt a chill in their hearts, so they looked back in a panic.

Seeing that those people stopped looking at them, Fang Qiu felt more comfortable.He put his arms around Dead Leaf's neck and whispered, "It's so annoying..." Dead Leaf patted his back, but said nothing.After walking five or six miles in a while, among the crowds, Dead Leaf felt as if someone was following her.He continued to walk calmly, and when he passed a snack street, he deliberately went around in a circle to buy some candy for Fang Qiu.I didn't feel anyone following in that street, but when I came out again, that person seemed to follow silently.

It seemed that it was not an illusion, someone followed them and knew their whereabouts, so they waited for him to buy something at the street corner, and then continued to follow them.Fang Qiu didn't know, so he ate in his brother's arms, breaking a piece of candy from time to time and stuffing it into the dead leaf's mouth.Walking slowly while chewing the dead leaves, he saw a candy seller on the street, he thought about it, stopped and asked Fang Qiu if he wanted it.When turning sideways, Dead Leaf pretended to be careless and glanced in that person's direction.Among the bustling crowd, there was no one particularly eye-catching.However, he saw a skirt flashing between the figures, the plain dress style, the back looks very slim - it's a woman.

The man flashed into the alley, Dead Leaf frowned, but didn't want to follow.That woman doesn't know martial arts, but she seems quite clever.He couldn't think of any attempt by a woman to follow him, or what threat it would bring to the Zhan family.While thinking about it, Fang Qiu fell in love with a little pig, and Dead Ye came back to his senses, and took out a copper coin to buy the little sugar pig for him.

For the rest of the way, that person didn't keep up, and Dead Leaf didn't think about it any more. Let's talk to Min Wei and the others when they get back. At worst, send a letter to tell Zhan Hao. It shouldn't be serious.He held Fang Qiu in his arms and wandered all the way back to the Zhan Zhai. After a while, he turned a corner and walked to the street of the gate. From a distance, he saw a man in black standing at the door of the house, and a horse beside the tree.Withered Leaf frowned and looked at the man, whose back was facing them. He was tall and thin, about the same size as himself.The hair is half-length but not short, and is tied into a small braid at the back of the head, which is a bit sloppy.

Probably Zhan Hao's friends in the world.Walking over suspiciously, Dead Leaf saw him reach out and knock on the door. After a while, Min Wei rushed over to open the door, and he heard the little girl's high-pitched and clear voice floating all the way from the inside: "Come here!" After a while, the door opened. Opening it, Minwei's voice changed to a puzzled tone: "Hey, young master, who are you looking for?"

Um?Didn't you know it?The dead leaf got closer, and was about to take two quick steps up, but the man in black said, "I'm looking for the dead leaf, ah, it's Cen Bie, your young master's friend. He's here, right? ?”

When Dead Ye heard this, he stopped, and Fang Qiu, who was in his arms, also opened his eyes wide in a daze.Min Wei blinked her eyes, glanced away, and saw him who had already walked to the door.When the man in black saw the little girl's eyes, he also turned his face... Now that the dead leaves can be seen clearly, the other party's facial features are clear, with a thin face, and the corners of the mouth are crooked.

Min Wei was still wondering who this was, she was quite young, and she always looked familiar.But Dead Ye stood outside with Fang Qiu in his arms, but his face froze for a moment.When the man in black saw him, a faint surprised smile appeared on his face.He raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his crooked mouth upwards, and greeted him relaxedly, "Oh, long time no see, second brother."

Dead Leaf stared at him firmly, without saying a word.Min Wei heard this person's greeting to him, and her mind suddenly reacted - the young master said that Big Brother Cen once had an older brother and a younger brother. Time is still running here and there.Tsk, that brother seems to be called...

Cen Jing?

Dead Leaf has not seen Cen Jing for more than two years, except for the time when he was arrested by Yin Hou in Kaifeng Mansion and had a face-to-face meeting with him in the yamen, the two brothers had no other time to meet each other in more than ten years.To be honest, Dead Ye felt quite embarrassed when he met him in Kaifeng Mansion that time.Once I abandoned him like a fishbone stuck in my throat, coupled with the unhappy relationship between the two brothers before, my heart was full of resistance to this younger brother.

In the past, he hated Cen Jing for stealing his brother's attention, but the situation is a bit different now, he is no longer the old Cen Bie, and he is no longer the young Cen Jing in front of him.It has been more than ten years since the two brothers talked again. Now, he has Zhan Hao and these people.Things in the past seem to have lost too much significance.

But when Cen Jing stood in front of him, Dead Leaf realized that some things were not unimportant, but his attention was attracted by other things, so he ignored them.

He still broods about certain moments.

In front of him, Cen Jing was sitting in the hall, drinking tea, with a leisurely and calm expression, and a hint of cynicism.Withered Leaf hugged Fang Qiu and sat opposite him in silence, upset, not knowing what he was doing.Min Wei served tea for the two of them, walked behind the dead leaf with a cute and dignified attitude on her face, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Cen, do you need to make lunch? Is this young master eating here?"

Dead Leaf was a little taken aback by her abnormal behavior, but she didn't show it on her face, she just silently slandered when Min Wei became so obedient.Turning her eyes, she saw the little girl staring at him secretly, and then the dead leaf realized that she was trying to save face in front of Cen Jing, probably because she saw that the relationship between him and his younger brother was not good, so she pretended This respectful look.Withered Leaf hesitated for a while, then answered dryly in a low voice: "Well, let's cook, and make one more meal."

Cen Jing sat quietly opposite, drinking tea calmly, looking up at the two people from time to time.The girl's eyes were shrewd, although she pretended to be respectful and elegant, she couldn't hide the arrogant temper between the corners of her eyes and brow.The little boy sitting on the second brother's lap was staring at him with wide eyes. He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Fang Qiu.Fang Qiu blinked, then turned around and buried his face in the arms of the dead leaves.At that time, Dead Leaf just finished talking to Min Wei, and felt Fang Qiu hugging her, so she lowered her head and asked him what's wrong.Fang Qiu shook his head and said in a low voice, that brother smiled like you.

Withered Ye was startled, and involuntarily raised her head to look at Cen Jing.Cen Jing smiled at him, and said in a neutral voice: "The little guy has really good eyesight, and he can tell that I resemble you. Second brother, is this your godson?"

Dead Leaf didn't speak, just remained silent, lowering her eyes not to look at him.Seeing that he ignored the elder brother in front of him, Fang Qiu knew that he must not be happy for this person to come, so he also sullenly refused to look at Cen Jing.Cen Jing missed a word, but he didn't feel embarrassed, he still had a calm smile on his face, and he raised Erlang's legs casually.

The hall fell silent for a while, the dead leaves did not speak, and Cen Jing was not in a hurry to speak, making it even more difficult to guess his purpose.After a while, Dead Leaf slowly raised his eyes, looked at his younger brother, and then said, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

When Cen Jing saw that he had spoken, the smile on his face suddenly became vivid, and his narrow eyes narrowed a little: "I can't see you if I have nothing to do, you are my only relative in this world."

After hearing this, the dead leaves lowered their eyes again.He didn't think what Cen Jing said was sincere, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was mocking what he did back then.He couldn't refute, he had nothing to say.He was wrong, and he insisted on being wrong, but after he was wrong, there would be pimples in his heart, which would flash up from time to time, reminding him of such cruel and ruthless behavior.That's why Dead Leaf felt that Cen Jing was not kind - he didn't think that his younger brother who was treated like that would have any good feelings for him.

Seeing his silence, Cen Jing felt bored for a while. He stood up and walked around the hall.

superior.Looking at the scene of spring flowers blooming in the courtyard, Cen Jing raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and said unhurriedly: "It seems that you are doing well now, and you live in a good place. I heard that Zhan Hao is also good to you." Very precious." He turned his head, looked at the silent side face of the dead leaf with a half-smile, and said in a casual tone, "Here, I also adopted a little baby as a godson, so I don't have to worry about retirement in the future."

Withered Ye didn't speak, Fang Qiu put his arms around him, but pouted and murmured, "I'm not Brother Mask's godson."

Cen Jing raised his eyebrows, smiled in surprise, and said, "Yo, what is it if you're not a godson?"

"I..." Fang Qiu choked on being asked, and for a moment didn't know what his identity was to Dead Leaf.So eagerly and aggrievedly raised his face, he stared at the masked brother as if asking for help.Dead Leaf was embarrassed by his stare, she dodged her eyes and thought for a while, but she didn't know how to answer.Now Xia Qiu was unhappy, she pouted and wrinkled her face.Dead Leaf hugged him a little helplessly, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to comfort him.

The eye movements of the two of them were all seen by Cen Jing, he squinted his eyes in a little surprise, the depths of his pupils shone brightly, and after a while, he returned to his original calm and ruffian look.

Fang Qiu couldn't get an answer from the masked brother for a long time, and couldn't help feeling wronged and sad.He lowered his head with his mouth puckered, and climbed off the dead leaves' knees.Dead Leaves looked helplessly at him walking out sadly, but didn't stop shouting "Fang Qiu", and the little guy went out to the yard anyway.He couldn't help standing up, wanting to hug Fang Qiu back, but just after he chased to the door, he saw Nie Qi, who was always elusive, came out of the opposite room carrying a bag.When Fang Qiu saw him, he couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart. He opened his hands and cried out, "Grandpa Nie!"

Surprised, Nie Qi hugged him shortly, and comforted him softly: "What's the matter, who made Fang Qiu angry?" Twitching and saying: "I, I want mother..."

Dead Leaf chased after him and heard this sentence, her body froze, and she couldn't say anything for a while.He never knew what happened to Fang Qiu's mother, Ma Qingyun. Maybe Zhan Hao knew, but he never mentioned it.The Ma family doesn't recognize Fang Qiu. Although the little guy has always been well-behaved and sensible in the Zhan family, few people know what is going on in his heart.

While comforting Fang Qiu, Nie Qi looked up at the dead leaves calmly.Fang Qiu buried herself in his shoulder and wept. The little child, for some unknown reason, cried against him until her little body twitched.Cen Jing walked slowly to the door, looking at the three people in the yard with serious eyes.When he noticed Nie Qi's appearance, he couldn't help showing a trace of surprise on his face, but he thought of something after a while, and the clear emotion of "so that's how it is" appeared in his eyes.

While comforting the child, Nie Qi also saw him, but he didn't seem to care much about it. He only took a few glances, then turned his gaze away, and focused on comforting the little guy: "Fang Qiu, why did you suddenly think of your mother? Are you okay?"

The little guy bit his lip and shook his head, complaining in a low voice: "I, I am here, I don't have a father, I don't have a mother, I have nothing..." Hearing this, Nie Qi couldn't help hugging him a little tighter. He touched the back of his head, and at the same time glanced pointedly at the dead leaf standing beside him who blamed himself for not knowing what to do: "Who said you have nothing? Didn't your Uncle Zhan let you register with the Zhan family? Your name in the private school is also Zhan Fangqiu, you can call him your father whenever you like, and when your masked brother marries him, you don’t have to call him brother.”

When Dead Leaf heard him say "marry", she couldn't help feeling ashamed.And Cen Jing is still to come, the unclear entanglement between the two brothers makes Dead Leaf more embarrassed and bewildered.Fang Qiu stopped crying after hearing what Nie Qi said.He rubbed his arms around Grandpa Nie's neck, and murmured softly, "Don't call him brother, do you call him a mother, brother is not a girl."

"If you're not a woman, you can't call her a mother. If you want to call me, he can't allow you." Nie Qi said nonchalantly, raising her eyes and glaring at the dead leaves angrily.Fang Qiu heard this, and then slowly stopped crying, turned around after a while, and looked at him with big red eyes aggrieved.Dead Leaf was worried that no matter how sad he was, she could only show a stiff smile at this moment, hoping to make him feel at ease.Seeing him smile, Fang Qiu thought he agreed, so she blinked and called softly, "Mother..."

For a moment, Dead Leaf bit her lip in embarrassment, and the smile on her face suddenly collapsed.Nie Qi had an uncontrollable expression on his lips, and there was some playfulness in the depths of his eyes.Cen Jing heard his formerly cold and heartless second brother being called "mother" from behind, he couldn't help raising his slanted eyebrows, and there was a strange look in his eyes.At this time Nie Qi saw him from a distance, the corners of his mouth curled up in an inexplicable way, and his smile changed from joking to relaxed in an instant.

He reached out and stuffed Fang Qiu into the arms of the red-faced withered leaves, and when he came back, his eyes looked at Cen Jing faintly, and the corners of his mouth were raised higher: "Isn't this the youngest of the Cen family? Why, come to your brother to talk about the past. ? Or do you want to see what kind of person your brother marries?"

Cen Jing knew that the man in front of him was Zhan Hao's father, so he didn't panic at this time, the smile on his face was still calm and calm - he even shrugged his shoulders easily, and said unhurriedly: "I heard you just now If so, isn't that not married yet?"

When Dead Leaf heard the word "marry" from the two of them, although her face was tense, she was already extremely embarrassed and ashamed.Usually it's fine for them to talk in private, but today when he said this in front of Cen Jing, he always felt that he lost all face.As a man, but want to marry a man, but the woman is lying under the man... It's really shameful.He didn't know where Cen Jing heard about this place, but since he was on duty at the court, it was only natural for him to meet Zhan Zhao.But... why did he just let him know!Let this, this younger brother whom I have hated since childhood, who is smarter, smarter and more sensible than myself, know my current situation!

——What on earth is he here for?

Thinking bitterly in his heart, he turned his eyes and saw Nie Qi carrying a burden on his shoulders.Dead Leaf was stunned for a moment, then interrupted and asked, "Mr. Nie, where are you going?"

Hearing his question, Nie Qi took his gaze away from Cen Jing's face unhurriedly, and smiled faintly at him: "Ah Hao, I have something to do, I have to go out for ten days." After finishing speaking, He stretched out his hand to pinch Fang Qiu's cheek, and said with a gentle smile, "Fang Qiu, don't cry in the future. When your Uncle Zhan comes back, you can call him your father. He dare not refuse you."

Fang Qiu curled up, put his head against the dead leaf's chin socket, nodded with red eyes and pursed lips.Nie Qi glanced at his blushing daughter-in-law with a smile, and then at his daughter-in-law and brother, who was sulking in anger, stretched the bundle in his hands, and walked slowly towards the gate.When he passed by Cen Jing, he stopped for a while, looked at the young man closely for a while, then shook his head and sighed amusedly, and said, "I hugged you when I was young, and it doesn't seem as ugly as it is now. Hey, it's disabled."

After finishing speaking, Nie Qi wandered out lazily.Cen Jing stared at him inexplicably, and watched his back swinging out of the gate suspiciously, wondering when did this person hug him?Does he know the original clan members?Seeing him get on his horse and leave after a while, Cen Jing turned to look at his second brother.Withered Leaf hugged Fang Qiu, her face was also a little startled—Nie Qi didn't tell him, did they meet each other more than [-] years ago?

The two brothers looked at each other for a while, and the corners of Dead Leaf's mouth twitched for a while, and he frowned and turned his face away stiffly.He stretched out his hand to hug Fang Qiu tightly, and said, "I have something to do when I go back to my room, you can stay as long as you like, or leave if you have nothing to do", and then walked over to the east courtyard.Cen Jing looked at his profile, which was much plumper than before, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows slowly.The corners of the crooked mouth gradually raised, revealing an unhurried smile.

Although Dead Leaf said something similar to an order to drive away guests, Cen Jing stayed until the evening and did not leave.While eating dinner, he still looked at Miss Minwei with a smile and said, "Sister Xingheyan, please help me tidy up the guest room, I have to live here tonight."

Min Wei was very unhappy, but she pretended to be gentle and refined before, so now she can't act anymore.So the little girl could only grit her teeth and stare at the dead leaves, asking for his permission with half-threatening eyes.Withered Leaf was speechless, silently turned away her face, and said dryly, "You just go and tidy one up, remember to add an extra pillow on the bed."

Min Wei originally expected him to reject Cen Jing, but she didn't expect this guy to agree!The little girl was a little hairy, she stood up angrily, twisted her waist, puffed her cheeks and left.Cen Jing leaned in his chair and laughed softly, raised his eyes and looked meaningfully at the dead leaves who were buried in their food, and said, "Second brother is really careful, he even remembers that I like to sleep on high pillows."

Dead Leaves said nothing, just quickly finished their meal, stood up and walked out without looking back.

He does remember, remembers that Cen Jing likes to sleep on high pillows, remembers that he is afraid of cold feet when sleeping, doesn't like to eat vegetables, and so on.But he is not careful, he just holds grudges.

Dead Leaf remembers, remembering that this guy always snatched his own pillow to go to sleep when he was a child, and pulled his own quilt to cover his whole body tightly.He doesn't like to eat vegetables, so the eldest brother will pile all his vegetables into his bowl.If this guy wasn't his brother, and didn't entangle himself with these trivial things in his life, he wouldn't want to memorize another person's habits and preferences.And it was because he was involved that he was forced to be impressed by these things.

He has never liked this younger brother, not only does he not like it, but he also hates it very much.

And these things, Cen Jing has always known.

He was sitting in the dining room, looking at the dead leaves going out with his spare time, with a relaxed and calm expression on his face.To be honest, Dead Leaf has been very friendly now compared to before, at least she didn't stare at him.This brother of his is exactly like what the elder brother said, stubborn, stubborn, cranky, loves to get into horns, and can't even persuade him to come back.He was obviously tormenting people, but he couldn't let go of his worries. He could only watch him withdrawn and stubborn day by day, and stalked in the direction he believed.

Once, Cen Li wanted to use his care to make his second brother feel more at ease and cheerful, but he never succeeded.He once told Cen Jing that if the eldest brother disappears one day, you have to take good care of your brother, he has a dead temper, be careful of being used by others.Although the young Cen Jing didn't like the second brother, he reluctantly agreed.Later, until Cen Li's death, Dead Leaf still didn't change her stubborn temperament, instead, she left herself cruelly, and plunged into the dangerous rivers and lakes by herself.

Therefore, Cen Jing is really curious, what kind of ability does Zhan Hao have, so that his second brother can let go of his defenses, stay with him honestly, and even willingly take the inferior position.He didn't quite believe it when he heard these rumors in Jianghu before, but after asking Zhan Zhao, and seeing Dead Ye holding Fang Qiu with a calm expression on his face, he gradually felt a little mysterious.

Zhan Hao, if my calculations are true, if that person is really you... Cen Jing narrowed his eyes, and the previous arrogance suddenly subsided, and instead revealed an unfathomable temperament.After finishing his meal in twos and twos, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, smiled at Ji Tang Yuke and said "use it slowly", then stood up and walked out of the dining room unhurriedly.

Ji Tang turned her head to look at him quietly, always having a strange premonition in her heart.It's not that it's ominous, but I always feel that this youngest member of the Cen family doesn't seem to be as hostile as Big Brother Cen expected.

Having breakfast the next day, Dead Leaf was sitting in the dining room holding Fang Qiu and tearing buns for him.This little boy is quite strange, he likes meat buns and the smell of chopped green onions, but he doesn't eat chopped green onions, so the dead leaves can only tear open the buns and help him pick out the chopped green onions bit by bit.Cen Jing got up, yawned and walked to the dining room. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but still felt unaccustomed.If his second brother really has a talent for caring about people... He didn't see it back then, could it be that his personality has gradually become more peaceful as he gets older?

Sitting next to the dead leaves, Cen Jing poured himself a bowl of porridge, and then ate meat buns.The dead leaves lowered their eyes and did not look at him, and still picked green onions on their own, but Fang Qiu looked at Cen Jing unhappily, as if he was resentful of his provocation to him yesterday.Cen Jing ate a steamed stuffed bun in a leisurely manner, staring at him with leisurely eyes.After a while, the dead leaves wrapped the stuffed meat in a bun and stuffed it into Fang Qiu's mouth. The little guy continued to stare at him bitterly while chewing the bun.Cen Jing was a little amused, and said: "You little guy, you are so particular about eating, is there such a tormenting person?"

Fang Qiu couldn't help being angry when she heard this, she puffed up her face, looked away, and retorted softly, "I won't torture you."

When Cen Jing heard this, he was really happy this time, sat up straight and approached the back of his head, and said in a low voice: "The annoying child will be thrown away, be careful that your masked brother will not want you someday, you There is no place to cry."

"Cen Jing!" Hearing him talking nonsense like this, Dead Leaf couldn't bear it anymore, and was afraid that Fang Qiu would think wildly, so she whispered to him: "Shut up, and get out if you keep talking nonsense!"

"Ouch," Cen Jing raised his hands with a smile, making a gesture of surrender, "Second brother, don't scold me like that, I will be sad, you are the only family member now."

Withered Ye looked at his contrived appearance with cold eyes, and couldn't help clenching her teeth.Fang Qiu sat in his arms a little at a loss, always feeling a little bit ready for a storm.After a while, the dead leaves carried him to the ground, patted the little guy on the back, and told him to find someone else to play with.Fang Qiu still held half a meat bun in his hand, took two steps and turned his head, and saw Dead Ye staring at Cen Jing coldly, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Cen Jing smiled, still showing that cynical look.To be honest, Dead Leaf can't do anything about this younger brother now, not as good as martial arts, let alone tricks.He is not as talented as Cen Jing, not to mention that this kid has green eyes inherited from his family, it is always possible to confuse him.The younger brother in front of him vaguely still has the naughty temperament he had when he was a child, but what is even more obvious is the steady temperament that is becoming more and more comfortable.He didn't dare to act rashly, because as long as Cen Jing is willing, he can almost control the people in the whole house.

So, at the end of the stare, Dead Leaf only asked: "What are you doing here!" If you want to hold grudges and seek revenge, then just be clean and don't waste so much nonsense here.

Cen Jing naturally knew that his second brother's words were true, and he felt a little helpless—it turns out that after so many years, Dead Leaf is still like this, always considering his actions with the greatest hostility.There was an indifferent smile on his face, and he sat up straight for a while, no longer that foolish look, and said in a low voice: "I want to see Zhan Hao, I heard that he is in charge of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and these days he is in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I'm busy, no one recommends me and I can't meet. Second brother, you are his heart, why don't you make it easier for me?"

As soon as he said that he wanted to see Zhan Hao, Dead Ye's whole body tensed reflexively, and his spirit immediately became alert.He didn't want Cen Jing to see Zhan Hao, he was a little scared, Cen Jing took too many things from him, Dead Leaf didn't know if this was his hobby, or a habit - why did he see Zhan Hao?I can't think of any valid reason.

"I don't know where he is in Suzhou and Hangzhou. If you want to see him, go find him yourself." Looking at Cen Jing coldly, Dead Leaf stood up and quietly assumed the posture of seeing off the guests
