"Which picture do you like?" Li Hongyang asked.

Mu Xu stood in front of the photo frame, pondered for a moment, and said, "I like this." He pointed to a photo of a black panther hiding in a dense forest.

Li Hongyang laughed dumbfounded, and said, "I thought you would like those with meaning."

"I don't want to use my brain on weekends." Mu Xu said, "The animals and scenery are easy to understand and beautiful."

Li Hongyang indulged Mu Xu's childish temper. He pointed to the end of the photography exhibition and said, "I saw puppies and kittens over there."

Mu Xu looked in the direction of Li Hongyang's finger, and sure enough, he saw a pile of fluffy kittens and puppies spilled on the carpet like checkers. He said with interest: "Let's go and see what's going on."

The two walked to the carpet, and Li Hongyang looked up at the display boards erected on both sides of the venue, and read: "Pet Adoption Day."

"Gentlemen, our babies are all adopted for free." The volunteer introduced enthusiastically, "Three or four-month-old cubs are easy for relatives to raise."

"Can I touch it?" Mu Xu asked.

The volunteer took out an alcohol spray bottle and said, "You can touch it after disinfection."

Mu Xu stretched out his hand, sprayed alcohol on his palm, rubbed his hands together, knelt down and reached out to pet the little yellow dog closest to him.

"Have you ever thought about keeping a pet?" Li Hongyang asked.

"My family used to have a dog." Mu Xu said, "It ran away and lost it." He shook the puppy's paw, and squeezed a raccoon cat by his hand, rubbing his little finger affectionately.

"Which baby you like, you can take it home after signing the agreement." The volunteer said.

"Too busy with work, I can't raise it." Mu Xu said, and he asked Li Hongyang, "Do you want to raise it?"

"I haven't raised it before, so I don't know if I can take good care of it." Li Hongyang said.

"It's been ten or so years since I took it home." Mu Xu said, he rubbed the raccoon cat's head and stood up, "Let's go, let's look at other things, do you want ice cream?"

Li Hongyang looked back at the kitten lying on the carpet. He wanted to raise it, but was afraid that the follow-up plan would change and he would not be able to raise it. He reluctantly turned his head to Mu Xu and said, "Let's go."

On a yacht offshore, Chi Juntao was sitting in the KTV box, slowly shaking a glass of whiskey in his hand. Cao Hanyang called a group of second generations to celebrate Chi Juntao's completion of the exam.

"Guess whose boat this is?" Cao Hanyang bumped Chi Juntao with his shoulder.

"Lan Jinbao's?" Chi Juntao said.

"No, richer than Jinbao." Cao Hanyang rolled his eyes and said, "My brother's."

"Your brother?" Chi Juntao shook the hand of the wine glass for a while, and then said, "Oh, I remembered, this year's coal has soared, and your family is rich."

"Hey." Cao Hanyang clinked glasses with Chi Juntao, "Feng Shui takes turns, come to my house this year."

"Congratulations." Chi Juntao patted Cao Hanyang on the shoulder.

"There is another piece of good news." Cao Hanyang said, "It's about you."

"What?" Chi Juntao asked.

The door of KTV was pushed open, Chi You walked in, Chi Juntao was stunned: "Cousin?"

"Surprised to see me?" Chi You sat next to Chi Juntao, "You haven't been home for half a year, so you're playing wild outside."

"I study all day and don't have time to go out, and Hanyang will testify to me." Chi Juntao said.

"I testify, Young Master Chi hasn't come out to play for a long time." Cao Hanyang said.

"You worked hard." Chi You put his arms around Chi Juntao's shoulders, "Grandpa was very happy when he heard that you were going to take the exam, saying that you have strong self-control."

Chi Juntao followed with a smile: "You can't disappoint Grandpa, right?"

"It's just your mouth." Chi You said, "The review is officially over, and you can go home."

Chi Juntao showed joy on his face: "Okay."

"When I came back for dinner tonight, Grandpa ordered a table of hairy crabs for you to celebrate." Chi You said.

Hearing that he was going back tonight, Chi Juntao's joyful mood went blank for a moment, and he said, "I have to go back before eleven o'clock."

"Where are you going?" Chi You asked.

"Go back to Mr. Mu." Cao Hanyang interrupted.

"I have to go back and talk to Mu Xu." Chi Juntao said, "To save him from getting angry with me."

Chi You choked, and he played with Chi Juntao's hair: "I remember you used to have a different temper."

"I wonder too." Cao Hanyang said.

"Call him and tell him." Chi You said, and he snapped his fingers, "You can also invite President Mu to your house for dinner."

Chi Juntao took out his cell phone and said, "I'll ask him." He stood up and walked out of the box, walked through the long corridor to the deck, hugged left and right, and Lan Jinbao, who was intoxicated with gentleness, waved to him: "Chi Little, long time no see!"

Chi Juntao lifted his mobile phone, indicating that he had something to do, went around to the rear deck of the yacht, took a chair and sat down, and made a call with the rhythmic sound of waves.

"Hello?" Mu Xu's voice came, and at the same time a wave of tide hit the rocks, the sunset on the western mountain sank into the horizon, and the crescent moon hung high in the east. Chi Juntao's mood was calm and peaceful, and he asked, "Where are you?"

"My friend's house." Mu Xu said frankly, "Dinner is coming soon."

The white seagull flew over the yacht, flapped its wings and uttered a cry, as if a huge rock smashed the mirror, Chi Juntao frowned: "I'll be back later at night."

"Why?" Mu Xu asked.

"Because I want to..." Chi Juntao stopped talking and changed his words, "My family's inspection is over, and I want to invite you to my house for dinner."

"It's over?" Mu Xu was stunned. He walked to the balcony and opened the window. The cold evening wind blew across his face. The emotions in his eyes fluctuated. After returning to China for nearly four years, he has never had direct contact with Chi Yan. This is an opportunity , he said, "OK."

It was Chi Juntao's turn to be surprised, he was ready to be soft and hard, but Mu Xu agreed to the invitation so easily, he got stuck: "Ah, then," he stood up excitedly, walked to the fence and looked at the sea, " I will look for you."

"Where are you?" Mu Xu asked.

"Dalian." Chi Juntao said, "I'm going back by plane now."

"Are you landing at the Capital Airport?" Mu Xu said.

"Yes." Chi Juntao replied.

"I'll wait for you at the airport." Mu Xu said.

Chi Juntao said obediently, "Okay."

"What are you doing in Dalian?" Mu Xu asked.

"Look at the sea." Chi Juntao said, "Han Yang showed me his new yacht, what did you do today?"

"Watching the photography exhibition, I happened to meet the adoption day held by the Animal Rescue Association." Mu Xu said, "The kittens and puppies are very cute."

"Why don't you adopt one?" Chi Juntao asked.

"I don't have time to take care of you." Mu Xu said, "It's already very difficult to take care of you."

Chi Juntao narrowed his eyes and smiled, resting his elbows on the railing, looking at the warm white crescent moon, with a sweetness on the back of his tongue, he said, "I won't need you to take care of me from now on."

"Very good." Mu Xu said, "I have to set off firecrackers to celebrate."

Chi Juntao puffed his cheeks and said, "I won't leave, I want to practice in Huajin until graduation."

"..." Thinking of this, Mu Xu was silent for a while, and said, "It's up to you."

"Xiao Xu." Li Hongyang's voice sounded from behind Mu Xu. Chi Juntao was shocked, and the anger that he had tried to ignore just now rose two meters high. He was about to open his mouth to question, but when Mu Xu hung up the phone, Young Master Chi almost bit his tongue .

"What?" Mu Xu put away his phone and looked at his lover.

"The meal is ready." Li Hongyang said.

Mu Xu walked to the dining table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and said apologetically to Li Hongyang: "I have something to do later, so I just ate a couple of bites and left. I'm really embarrassed."

"It's okay." Li Hongyang said tolerantly, "I'll eat the rest of the dishes tomorrow, so I won't waste them."

Mu Xu picked up the fried pork and put it in a bowl. He reckoned that he would not be able to eat a few mouthfuls of rice when he went to see Chi Yan, so he might as well just eat it up.

"Master Chi!" Seeing Chi Juntao put away his phone, Lan Jinbao hurried over and said courteously, "Han Yang is ordering food, let me ask you what to eat."

"I won't eat." Chi Juntao said, "I'm going back to Beijing now."

"Huh?" Lan Jinbao scratched his head, "I thought everyone was staying here tonight."

"I have something to do temporarily." Chi Juntao said, "Eat and have fun."

"Oh, let's meet again next time." Lan Jinbao has a simple and honest personality, just like his name, Lan Jinbao. The Lan family started out in real estate, and Lan Jinbao is the real stupid son of a landlord's family.He is not tall, white and fat, and he follows Chi Juntao like a tumbler.

Chi Juntao stepped into the box, and Chi You asked, "Is it done?"

"I invited him to my house for dinner." Chi Juntao said, "He agreed."

"Very good, I also want to meet Mr. Mu." Chi You said, "Then let's go now?"

"Yes." Chi Juntao said, "Mu Xu is waiting for me at the airport."

"Does he drive? Take me with you." Chi You said.

"You take a taxi." Chi Juntao didn't want his cousin to spoil his alone time with Mu Xu, so he simply opened the door of the box and walked out.

Chi You kept up with Chi Juntao's pace, and asked wonderingly, "Why?"
