On the day Chu Rong came back in early September, Chu Ci went home.Because the plane was delayed, Chu Rong hadn't arrived when he got home.He turned to the greenhouse first, stayed there for a while, and then went back to his room.

The whole house was quiet, Chu Ci walked up the stairs on the dark red carpet, and when he passed the second floor, he suddenly heard a strange sound, and his footsteps stopped for a while.

The second floor was originally my grandfather's study, but after my grandfather passed away, it was taken over by Yu Zhijian and transformed into his study and cigar room.Chu Ci has always tried to avoid appearing here.

The heartbeat was inexplicably fast, Chu Ci quietly poked his head out and looked into the corridor, it was empty and there was no one there, even the voice disappeared together.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw a young woman walking out of Yu Zhijian's study carrying a tea tray, her footsteps seemed a little flustered.

Chu Ci remembered that woman was a servant who had just arrived in the family.A thought flashed through his mind at that moment, and before he could catch it, he was interrupted by the sound of the car engine and the exaggerated phrase "Miss is back" from the housekeeper.

Chu Ci shook his head, turned around and went downstairs.

After one summer, Chu Rong found that Chu Ci not only lost weight but gained weight, she was very happy.She was wearing a cheongsam with a retro pattern of flowers and birds, and her smile was as elegant and gentle as ever, but the tiredness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Even Chu Ci could see that something was wrong with her, and sat next to her and asked her what was wrong with concern.

"Maybe it's because I'm too tired. I've been flying all the time, and there are some traffic jams on the road." Chu Rong smiled and patted the back of Chu Ci's hand, "By the way, Tongtong, Mom brought you a gift and put it in the car. Take it to your room."

"Thank you mom." Chu Ci said, just as he was about to tell her about staying on campus after school started, Yu Zhijian came down from upstairs.

Yu Zhijian paused for two seconds when he was still a few steps away from the ground, gave Chu Ci a condescending look, and then walked down slowly.

No matter how much Chu Ci hated Yu Zhijian, he had to admit that he was tall and handsome, and very attractive.

Chu Rong subconsciously brushed her hair and stood up from the sofa.Yu Zhijian walked up to her and put on a considerate face: "Are you back? Are you tired?"

Chu Ci instinctively repulsed Yu Zhijian's approach.He wants to throw up.

He jumped up from the sofa, walked around the two of them and walked outside.

"Tongtong, what's wrong with you?" Chu Rong's voice came from behind.

"I'll go to the car to get the gift." Chu Ci hurriedly left the living room, stood under the sun, took two deep breaths, and got into the car.

What Chu Rong bought him was a new camera. Usually, Chu Ci could not wait to open it, but today he is not interested at all.

He took out his mobile phone to call Chen Xun, and called his brother after Chen Xun picked it up.

Chen Xun immediately recognized the abnormality in Chu Ci's tone, gestured to his colleagues, walked outside the cafe, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Ci sniffed, and subconsciously buckled the leather seat with his fingers: "It's okay, I just missed you."

Chen Xun laughed, his heart was wrapped in soft and sad thoughts, even though he and Chu Ci just parted ways two hours ago.

"I miss you too." Chen Xun said, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to stay at home tonight?"

Chu Ci heard the hint in his tone and blushed a little.After the summer vacation, Chen Xun retired the house, and the two lived back in the dormitory. Chu Ci thought about using the money to continue renting a house outside, but he knew Chen Xun well, and Chen Xun did not let him spend the three months together. For a penny, if he rented the house secretly, he would still be responsible for the money if Chen Xun found out.Chu Ci didn't want him to work so hard.

Chu Ci pursed his lower lip: "I don't want to live at home, I will go back to school after dinner."

Chen Xun asked in a low voice: "Then come to the coffee shop and find me?"

Chu Ci said hello, and then said a few sticky words, so he hung up the phone reluctantly because he was afraid of delaying Chen Xun's part-time job.

During the meal, Chu Ci realized that the purpose of Chu Rong's return to the south this time was not simply to visit relatives, but to sell a garden left by his ancestors to fill in the business holes for Yu Zhijian.

Their conversation was very cryptic, but Chu Ci managed to piece together the whole picture in a few words.Chu Ci is actually very smart. When his grandfather was alive, he always liked to take him to play bridge with his old friends and talk about some business matters.

After Yu Zhijian took over the company, in order to make achievements as soon as possible, he took a bold approach and acquired many companies, which not only caused the company to be short of funds, but also offended many people.

"My wife has worked hard." Yu Zhijian thoughtfully served Chu Rong food, as if the man who accused his wife of cheating was not him at all, "When the company's matter is over, we will go abroad for vacation."

Chu Rong responded with a smile.

In order to show the image of a loving father, Yu Zhijian seldom picked up vegetables for Chuci, and what he picked up was the softest part of the belly of the crucian carp.

Chu Ci put down his chopsticks without even looking at it: "I'm full."

He stood up and said to Chu Rong, "Mom, I have classes early tomorrow morning, so I'll go back to school today."

When Chuci walked out of the restaurant, he heard Yu Zhijian say, "Tongtong should be independent when he grows up. Living in school may not be a bad thing..."

Chu Ci asked the driver to take him to school, and then walked from school to the cafe.He didn't go in immediately, but stood outside the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, looking at Chen Xun's figure obsessively until he was discovered by the other party.

Guessing that Chu Ci was not full, Chen Xun packed a piece of cake for him when he left the cafe, and took him to a hotel with a good environment without asking any further questions.

Chu Ci was more clingy than before, eager to be touched by Chen Xun even more, and his hands and feet were entangled almost the moment the door was closed.

Chen Xun originally planned to sleep with Chu Ci for the night. He knew that Chu Ci would be in a bad mood every time he went home.But when Chu Ci came up to meet him, he surrendered almost without any struggle, sometimes being gentle and sometimes rough at Chu Ci's request, kissing him, occupying//possessing him, until Chu Ci couldn't think of anything else except him.

After that day, Chu Ci never went home again, and occasionally met Chu Rong in the restaurant outside.He had thought about whether to mention the fact that he was in a relationship, but on the one hand, he felt that the time had not come, and on the other hand, he felt that Chu Rong probably didn't want to listen to him.

Once during a meal, Chu Rong asked him three times, "What classes did you have today?" Chu Ci simply closed his mouth and finished the meal in silence.He guessed that Chu Rong's thoughts might be on Yu Zhijian.

He couldn't help but wonder what Chu Rong would do if he had to choose between him and Yu Zhijian.

Looking back afterwards, Chu Rong's mental state was already very bad at that time, like a decaying rose that was about to wither.However, Chu Ci at the time did not notice it, or deliberately ignored it.

Time soon entered November, and the weather turned cooler. After one night, the withered and yellow leaves piled up on the roadside officially announced the arrival of autumn.This is the most beautiful and shortest season of the year in S city.

Chen Xun found out from his mobile phone that there was a new horror movie in the cinema, and he planned to take Chu Ci to watch it. When he bought the ticket, he was surprised by the people in the project team who saw it.

"You are dating to watch a horror movie, do you want to be so heavy?"

Chen Xun smiled, but didn't answer. He bought the ticket and told Chu Ci to come to him after class, and Chu Ci replied quickly.

Chen Xun stared at the simple word [Good] for a long time, slightly raised the corners of his lips, then locked the phone screen and continued to write programs.

I thought that day was an extremely ordinary day, like the countless days before and the days to come, but perhaps the gears of fate had quietly started turning at the moment he sent the text message.

In the evening, when Chen Xun came out of the laboratory, he called Chu Ci before he arrived. The mechanical female voice told him coldly that the phone he dialed was turned off.

A bad feeling flashed in his heart, and he put on his schoolbag without hesitation and walked to the classroom where Chu Ci was in class. He was already familiar with Chu Ci's schedule.

The class in the classroom was over, and there were still a few students from the School of Economics and Management discussing issues. Chen Xun walked in and asked if they had seen Chu Ci, and one of them said, "He left halfway through the class, as if he was taken away by someone. let's go."

Unable to contact Chu Ci, Chen Xun could only rush to Jingnan Road, Chu Ci's home.

The tall courtyard walls and dense sycamore trees blocked his sight. He tried to see the situation inside from various distances and angles, but all failed, so he could only knock on the door.

It took a long time for the doorbell to be answered. A middle-aged man with a livid face heard that Chen Xun was looking for Chu Ci, so he said "Young Master is not here" and closed the door with a "bang".

Before the vermilion iron gate was closed, Chen Xun saw that the Chu family, which was supposed to be brightly lit, was dead silent.

Chen Xun waited all night at the bus stop opposite Chu's house. When the night fell, his anxiety wrapped around him imperceptibly. He had to smoke and move around to relieve it.

Chen Xun waited until noon the next day, and called Chuci again and again, but the phone was always turned off. He didn't have to go back to school until the professor called him three times. After finishing the project, he went back to Jingnan Road to continue. wait.

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, he saw the closed door of the Chu family slowly open, and a car drove over from a distance.

Chen Xun quickly ran over and saw Chu Ci sitting inside through the car window.He slapped the car window and called Chu Ci's name, but Chu Ci, who was dressed in black, sat on the seat, as if his soul had been sucked out, and he didn't respond.

Chen Xun had no choice but to rush to the front of the car and stop it. He knew it would be dangerous to do so, but his worries about Chu Ci had already made him unable to care about anything else.

The driver stepped on the brakes, Chu Ci leaned forward suddenly, his expressionless eyes finally rolled, and a blurred figure appeared in his vision.

He was in a trance, blinking his eyelashes lightly, suspecting that he was still in a dream.

It was as if he had been convincing himself that what happened these two days was nothing more than a dream.

One of the deepest nightmares of 18 years.

"Chu Ci—"

The voice came from far away. For some reason, Chu Ci suddenly felt a great pain in his heart. His heart was violently torn into pieces and could never recover.The extreme pain forced him to bend down, with his palms pressed against his chest, feeling like he was about to suffocate.

Soon, the door of the car next to him was opened, fresh air poured in, Chu Ci gasped desperately, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, he grabbed the clothes of the person who came.

"Chu Ci—"

The warm embrace and the familiar smell soothed Chu Ci's nerves, he seemed to be in less pain, and Chen Xun's face slowly appeared in the gathered sight.

With pale lips parted slightly, Chu Ci called out very softly: "Brother...
