not in love

On the last day of December, Yu Zhijuan didn't arrange anything for himself.

In order to prepare for the New Year's Eve party in the evening, Chen Hao was taken to the studio by his manager early in the morning, and the family finally returned to true tranquility.

After waking up, Yu Zhijuan leaned against the window sill under a blanket, just in time to see Ji Xuanxuan and Jiang Lei at the gate of the garden.

Chen Hao wasn't too cruel, she let Ji Xuanxuan take almost everything she wanted to take away, including the off-road vehicle that was parked in front of their house now.

Jiang Lei folded his arms and stared at Ji Xuanxuan coldly like a supervisor, as if she was afraid that she would take away something that did not belong to her from home.

"A bastard who takes power over others."

Ji Xuanxuan gave Jiang Lei a blank look, and pushed the last box into the trunk.

"That's better than having nothing to rely on now."

Jiang Lei raised his eyebrows arrogantly, only to hear a creaking sound above his head, the two looked up together and saw that it was Yu Zhijuan who opened the window.

"What, want to see me laugh?"

Ji Xuanxuan stared at Yu Zhijuan angrily,

"Chen Hao will discover your true colors sooner or later, and your fate may not be better than mine now."

"I'm waiting for that day."

Yu Zhijuan smiled lightly, his eyes twinkling, he exhaled misty white smoke, brushed the cigarette between his fingers, and the ember-colored ash fell like rubbing snow, sprinkled on Ji Xuanxuan's body.

"Neuropathy!"

Ji Xuanxuan hurriedly patted the soot that fell on her body, even the fox down mink fur she was wearing was taken from Yu Zhiyi's cloakroom, she would never have the chance to see such a fine fur again.

"Ms. Ji, the key."

Jiang Lei stopped Ji Xuanxuan who hid in the car and was about to leave, and hooked her.

"Chen Hao was only angry for a while, aren't you afraid that I will come back someday?"

"I don't think Mr. Chen will give you this chance."

Jiang Lei smiled perfunctorily, and snatched the key to the Chen family's gate from Ji Xuanxuan's hand.

Seeing the small off-road vehicle full of Ji Xuanxuan's belongings gradually disappear at the end of the road, Yu Zhijuan stretched lazily, the nest of scourges in the family was finally cleaned up.

"Jiang Lei, how about bringing your sister home today for New Year's Eve?"

Yu Zhijuan said on the spur of the moment,

"Chen Hao won't be back until tomorrow night, and there is no one else at home, so go and pick her up and come together."

"Is it really possible?"

Jiang Lei was flattered for a moment, he knew that this was a reward from Yu Zhiyi, and he contributed a lot to driving Chen Hua and Ji Xuanxuan out of the house this time.

Eating together and spending New Year's Eve together is more of a spiritual recognition than simply sending money to give gifts and gems in the past, which shows that Yu Zhiyi has completely regarded him as one of his own, not just a servant who runs errands .

"Go and pick her up."

Yu Zhijuan nodded, and after reading a book alone in the room for a while, he waited for a video call from Chi Ling.

He didn't have a notice to run these few days, and Chi Ling was also idle, so she returned to her hometown in Linshan County, where she was currently in Yu Zhiyi's ward.

Due to his identity, Yu Zhijuan was worried about being followed or secretly photographed, so he couldn't visit his younger brother in person, so he could only watch a few times through the video call from Chi Ling.

"Don't worry, Zhiyi's indicators are quite stable,"

Chi Ling reported to Yu Zhijuanhui,

"And the doctor suggested to give him some stimulation from the outside world, maybe he can wake up as soon as possible... I'm a little undecided, so I want to ask you, what do you think if I show him more of the movies he has acted in before? "

"Well, yes."

Yu Zhijuan thought for a moment, he knew that Yu Zhiyi loved his job, and besides this, he couldn't think of anything else that could stimulate Yu Zhiyi.

"In short, you don't have to worry. The conditions here are very good, and my mother takes care of her personally. Now her old man values ​​knowledge and righteousness more than my own daughter."

Chi Ling smiled and said,

"I'll go back to Binhai in two days, and I'll accompany you back to the set, and finish filming "The White File" in one go. Next year, I'll arrange more relaxing variety shows for you, and we won't be acting anymore."

"I listen to you."

Yu Zhijuan asked Chi Ling to walk around Yu Zhiyi's hospital bed with her mobile phone to confirm that her brother was fine and that the nursing facilities were brand new before hanging up the phone.

Ji Xuanxuan and Chen Hua had already been kicked out, and finally it was Chen Hao's turn.

Yu Zhijuan indifferently looked at the character relationship map that Chi Ling had drawn for him in the notebook, crossed out the names of Ji Xuanxuan and Chen Hua, and put a heavy stroke on Chen Hao's Hao characters.

It was snowy this year, and on the last day of the end of the year, there was heavy snow like icing sugar, and when it got dark, a continuous layer of velvet white had accumulated on the streets.

Jiang Lei's younger sister, Jiang Jiang, was more outgoing than other children of the same age. She was not timid when she saw Yu Zhijuan, and thanked him politely.

When Yu Zhijuan was preparing dinner, Jiang Lei was sweeping snow in the garden. She originally wanted to help her brother, but she couldn't resist the cold, so she could only stay quietly in the living room and watch TV.

"Xiao Jiang, do you like Lin Xie?"

Yu Zhijuan just came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Jiang watching a previous TV series starring Mi Chen and Lin Xie.

Jiang Jiang nodded hesitantly upon hearing the sound,

"I don't really like him, I just think he's quite manly. But I don't like Mi Chen, she looks the same in everything she plays."

Yu Zhijuan laughed when he heard the words, maybe he could chat with this little girl.

"Call your brother to get ready for dinner. Dinner is ready."

"Brother Zhiyi, thank you for taking care of my brother,"

Jiang Jiang paused, she was not in a hurry when she spoke, Yu Zhijuan was not in a hurry, she waited patiently for her to finish speaking,

"In the past few months, he has suddenly made a lot of money. He said that you gave it to him. My brother is a knife-mouthed man. I guess he must have never thanked you, so I want to say it for him."

"That's what he deserves."

Yu Zhijuan smiled faintly, he asked Jiang Lei to bring Jiang Jiang together for the New Year's Eve not to hear this thank you, but to make Jiang Lei more loyal to him.

"But I... I beg you, can you not let my brother do something dangerous?"

Jiang Jiang's eyes were full of worry, and he looked at Yu Zhijuan sincerely,

"Although I don't know exactly what I'm doing, I'm just scared. But I guess my brother's salary is so high, it must not be just an ordinary snow sweeper and housekeeper."

"You think too much, Jiang Lei's job is just a housekeeper."

"……All right."

Jiang Jiang sighed lightly.

"You don't seem to believe it?"

Yu Zhijuan found it interesting to see the little girl's reaction. After staying in the smoky Chen's house for a long time, it is rare to see such a simple and well-behaved child like Jiang Jiang.

"Your brother's high salary is only because I feel sorry for your illness. Can you accept that?"

"really?"

Jiang Jiang blinked, doubtful,

"But in fact, compared to earning so much money, what I want more is that my brother can spend more time with me,"

Jiang Jiang was inexplicably willing to speak his mind to Yu Zhijuan,

"I know my brother is doing it for my own good, but the most important thing is to find out what I really want..."

"Jiang Jiang, what do you think this is?"

Jiang Lei suddenly pushed the door open and entered, bringing a gust of cool wind, and he saw a little snowman more than ten centimeters tall dragging in his hand.

"Snow treasure!"

Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up immediately, she couldn't catch cold from playing in the snow, so she was very surprised when she saw the little snowman that Jiang Lei made for her into the house.

"Come and eat."

Yu Zhijuan secretly glanced at the little snowman several times while talking.

Black truffle grilled chicken, foie gras steamed eggs, and tomato pasta were prepared for dinner. Jiang Jiang ate carefully at first, but then he simply gnawed on the chicken legs with his hands, and said in surprise while gnawing,

"Wow, brother Zhiyi... you cook delicious food!"

"Eat slowly, and no one will fight with you."

Jiang Lei couldn't help pacifying Jiang Jiangshun, for fear that she would choke.

"Eat slowly, I'll go out to answer the phone."

Yu Zhijuan wiped his mouth and got up, Jiang Lei knew he meant not to disturb.

After picking out a thick coat, Yu Zhijuan gently pushed open the small door leading to the West Garden. There is no need to park here, and the snow has not yet been cleared. It became glutinous rice cake, and Yu Zhijuan stepped on it several times before he was satisfied.

But he didn't come out specifically to play in the snow, he had already returned to China for a few months before he knew it, and he hadn't contacted his mentor for a while.

At this moment Zhuge Yunbai should have woken up from his afternoon nap and is making afternoon tea.

The phone was connected without two beeps, and a gentle and elegant male voice came from the receiver:

"Zhijuan, why did you remember to call Master? Did you encounter any problems?"

"Can't I give you a call?"

Yu Zhijuan chuckled lightly,

"How are you?"

"Stand by step, what tricks can you do? It's you... It sounds like it should be going well. The Tarot card count I gave you before going back was quite accurate."

After the two exchanged a few words, Yu Zhijuan suddenly changed the subject and asked bluntly,

"Teacher, do you know Lin Xie?"

"……what?"

Zhuge Yunbai paused, "Why don't you wait for me to google?"

"no need……"

Yu Zhijuan sighed, he still cared about what Lin Xie said before, although he held back and didn't ask, but the more he thought about it afterwards, the more he cared about it, he wanted to find out where he and Lin Xie were before, and why. met.

"Asian piano genius, the most valuable actor, the most popular Alpha... Well, there are quite a lot of titles,"

Zhuge Yunbai said meaningfully, presumably he had found some information about Lin Xie on the Internet,

"I knew you didn't call me suddenly because you cared about me, an empty-nest old man. Tell me, why do you ask me about Lin Xie? He is difficult to deal with? Or do you have a crush on him?"

"I'm curious how you came to the conclusion that 'I've got my eye on him'."

Yu Zhijuan said coldly.

"I see people very accurately."

Zhuge Yunbai said innocently, with a high-spirited tone.

"A few mosaic pictures on the Internet?"

Yu Zhijuan asked back.

"There's a lot of knowledge here... Hey, how do you know that when you search someone's name, the first few high-density pictures pop up? Have you already searched it yourself?"

Zhuge Yunbai didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and Yu Zhijuan could imagine his gossip face through the phone.

"……I do not have."

Yu Zhijuan flatly denied it.

Although he did search.A few nights ago, he was always thinking about Lin Xie and couldn't sleep for a long time. In the end, he simply searched the Internet for his life experience compiled by Lin Xie's fans. After reading it, he came to the conclusion that it had nothing to do with him.

"Strange."

Zhuge Yunbai laughed at him secretly.

"Then tell me, what do you see from those pictures?"

"Perhaps you remember this class in Phrenology?"

"I don't remember, I haven't fixed it."

"I recommended you to learn about it as an extracurricular homework. Are you lazy and caught by me?"

Zhuge Yunbai snorted twice triumphantly,

"It's called phrenology in Chinese. Simply put, it means that a person's mind and personality can be roughly predicted based on the characteristics of a person's skull."

"Then what conclusion did you get from observing Lin Xie's skull?"

Yu Zhijuan asked seriously.

Just listen to Zhuge Yunbai's opening the mouth and say,

"The conclusion is that he should be your type. At least his skull is your type."
