Yu Mingyan inexplicably sensed the inner struggle of the old father in front of him, he pursed his lips, entangled his hands behind his back, and still couldn't help comforting Yu Shanbai, who was nearly fifty years old.

"If you think so... that's fine too."

Yu Shanbai was silent for a moment, with a heavy tone: "You think so too?"

Yu Mingyan: "..."

"Maybe." Yu Mingyan's eyes wandered, and it was obvious at a glance that he was lying.

Yu Shanbai exhaled slowly, looked away, and decided to pretend to be blind: "That's good."

Yu Mingyan: "?"

Yu Mingyan bit her lip, the words she wanted to say turned around in her mouth for a few times, but she couldn't get out. Finally, he chose to avoid the topic, tapped his toes on the ground, and turned to the side, tentatively wanting to leave.

He turned his eyes to the stairs without any concealment, only to find that there was an extra person standing against the wall beside the empty stairs just now.

Lu Xingzhi leaned against the wall lazily and casually. Seeing Yu Mingyan noticing him, he tilted his head and met Yu Mingyan's gaze, and smiled at Yu Mingyan with the corners of his lips curled up.

Yu Mingyan stopped breathing for a moment, and subconsciously recalled what she had just said, guessing how much Lu Xingzhi had heard.

Lu Xingzhi walked up to him slowly, turned his head and greeted the two on the sofa, noticing that their expressions were not quite right, Lu Xingzhi smiled lightly and asked casually, "What are you talking about?"

Hearing this, the old man on the sofa coughed and glanced at Yu Shanbai who was opposite him. He felt that he was a guest, so he couldn't casually talk about other people's family affairs, so he just smiled and replied: "It's nothing to talk about."

"Oh," Lu Xingzhi nodded with a smile on his face, "Is it something I can't know?"

All the people present were acquaintances, Lu Xingzhi asked casually in his usual joking tone, "Could it be that you are gathering people to speak ill of me?"

The old man smiled and planned to speak, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Yu Shanbai's unfriendly voice on the opposite side.

Yu Shanbai looked Lu Xingzhi up and down, and said in a critical tone: "Yes, Lu Xingzhi, I think you have quite a lot of time recently, why don't you go to the whole house someday?"

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows lightly, and chuckled lightly. There was a strong smile in his clear voice, and he asked in a drawn-out manner, "What's wrong? My face isn't pretty enough? What are you dissatisfied with?"

Yu Shanbai looked him over from head to toe, and said, "I'm not satisfied anywhere."

"Oh," Lu Xingzhi nodded, his voice was sloppy and a little hesitant, "So what?"

Yu Mingyan reached out and grabbed Lu Xingzhi's arm. Seeing Lu Xingzhi looking down at him, he pushed Lu Xingzhi's back and said, "Don't worry about my dad. He has menopausal syndrome, so don't worry about him."

Yu Shanbai: "? Who has menopausal syndrome? Son, why are you still turning your elbows outward?"

Yu Mingyan blinked at Yu Shanbai to signal not to speak, then pushed Lu Xingzhi's back to push him away, seeing that Lu Xingzhi didn't move, he raised his head and stared at Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi walked forward with his strength, and sighed softly: "Yanyan wants to drive me away? I just don't care about menopause."

Yu Mingyan pushed him back and said: "I didn't drive you away, don't think about it, you go back and wait for me, I'll go upstairs right away."

Lu Xingzhi turned his head and glanced at him, nodded in response: "Okay, then I'll wait for you upstairs first, remember to come over."

"Okay, I'll remember." Yu Mingyan said.

Pushing Lu Xingzhi away, Yu Mingyan heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that Lu Xingzhi and his father would quarrel in front of others, but as long as Lu Xingzhi and his father didn't stay in the same place face to face, they shouldn't quarrel. Well, his dad wouldn't chase him upstairs to quarrel with Lu Xingzhi.

After comforting Lu Xingzhi at Lu Xingzhi's side just now, Yu Mingyan, coaxed by both sides, planned to comfort his old father again.

"Dad, don't be fussy like Uncle Lu, he..." Yu Mingyan was thinking about what to say, but Yu Shanbai took it when he was about to say it.

"He also has menopausal syndrome?"

"..."

Yu Mingyan looked at his father's face and was silent for a few seconds, then nodded heavily: "Yes, he also has menopausal syndrome, so leave him alone and stop arguing with him."

Yu Shanbai nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, actually Dad doesn't want to quarrel with him, but that kid just makes people look uncomfortable."

Yu Mingyan could only nod her head, pretending that she didn't remember Yu Shanbai's praise of Lu Xingzhi in front of him before, that he was a once-in-a-lifetime friend, that he was a rare good brother, and everything was good.

Thinking of this, Yu Mingyan was silent for a moment, feeling a little guilty, as if it was because of him now that his father and Lu Xingzhi's once-in-a-lifetime brotherhood broke down.

-

Yu Mingyan said she would go upstairs after a while, but was held back by his father.Yu Mingyan, who was brought up by Yu Shanbai as both a father and a mother, has been an obedient and caring little padded jacket since she was a child, and she can't really rebel and leave his father alone at a time like this.

The main reason is that his father already disliked Lu Xingzhi, if he left his father upstairs to find Lu Xingzhi, his father would definitely dislike Lu Xingzhi even more.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes he made, his father would only excuse him, and then find reasons on others to blame others.

Yu Mingyan secretly glanced at the time, intending to stay with his father for another 10 minutes, and then find a reason to leave, but heard the old man facing him smile and say hello behind him.

"Xingzhi, come down, come, come, come and have a cup of tea."

Yu Mingyan turned around and looked over, and saw Lu Xingzhi walked up to him in a few steps, reaching out to take the tea from the old man.

Sensing his gaze, Lu Xingzhi bent down to look at him, and explained: "I just came down to take a look."

"Oh." Yu Mingyan didn't intend to ask him about it either, he went upstairs after talking for a while but now it's been almost half an hour and he hasn't gone up, it's normal for Lu Xingzhi to come down to have a look.

After drinking the cup of tea, Lu Xingzhi leaned over to put down the cup, and looked sideways at Yu Shanbai: "It's been a long time since just now, can I go upstairs now?"

Yu Shanbai said angrily, "Did I stop you?"

Lu Xingzhi smiled: "Then can Xiao Mingyan go upstairs?"

"..."

Yu Shanbai probably figured out the relationship between his precious son and Lu Xingzhi. Although he didn't like Lu Xingzhi, he didn't intend to go too far considering his son's feelings and his remaining brotherhood towards Lu Xingzhi.

He waved his hand slightly, with an impatient look on his face: "Okay, let's go."

Looking down to see the fruit plate on the table, he said again: "There is still this fruit plate, Yan Yan was going to take it upstairs, but put it here for me again, do you want to eat it?"

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked over, and was about to speak when Yu Mingyan rushed ahead of him and said, "He won't eat."

"Well, I won't eat." Lu Xingzhi cooperated.

"Remember what you said yourself, that's enough, take it up." Seeing the surprise in Lu Xingzhi's eyes, Yu Shanbai choked at him angrily. ?”

"That's right," Lu Xingzhi reached out to pick up the fruit plate, "Then I'll take it."

Yu Mingyan looked around and saw that they had already agreed, so she didn't make a sound.

Lu Xingzhi turned to leave, Yu Mingyan glanced at Yu Shanbai, saw Yu Shanbai nodded slightly, and then quickly walked a few steps to catch up in front of Lu Xingzhi.

"Do you want me to help you? He asked Lu Xingzhi and walked backwards. Lu Xingzhi held the fruit plate in one hand, and held Yu Mingyan's shoulder with his free left hand. He turned the person back to face him: "No, brother can do it." Take it yourself, you walk well. "

Yu Mingyan looked at Lu Xingzhi quickly withdrew his hand, and let out a soft "oh".

-

Lu Xingzhi returned to the studio, picked up a chair and sat across from Yu Mingyan, took a fork for a piece of fruit and handed it to Yu Mingyan's mouth.

Yu Mingyan was packing up the pile of pens in front of her, she was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fruit, then turned her head to look at Lu Xingzhi, and opened her mouth to bite off the piece of fruit.

"What's the matter? Why are you feeding me?" With fruit in his mouth, one cheek was puffed up, and his voice was a bit vague.

Slowly, Lu Xingzhi picked up another piece of fruit and handed it to his mouth again, the corners of his lips curled up, and his peach eyes were full of affection.

"Yanyan, what were you talking about downstairs just now?" Lu Xingzhi said softly.

Yu Mingyan bit off the fruit on the fork, lowered her eyelashes and concentrated on chewing, pretending that she didn't hear anything.

"Yanyan?" Lu Xingzhi urged softly.

Yu Mingyan looked up at him, pursed her lips, swallowed the fruit, and said after a while, "Why are you asking this?"

Lu Xingzhi fed him another piece of fruit, watched the flesh stain his soft and plump lower lip with aqua color, his eyes darkened, but his tone was calm: "Brother is a little curious."

Yu Mingyan opened her mouth to hold the fruit on the fork, and said vaguely: "Then don't be curious."

"Don't let curiosity go?" Lu Xingzhi said with a smile in his voice.

"Well, don't be curious." Yu Mingyan nodded heavily.

Lu Xingzhi didn't speak, just focused on looking at him, Yu Mingyan turned his face to avoid sight, but he didn't let go: "You...don't be curious, we didn't talk about anything downstairs just now."

Lu Xingzhi chuckled and said "Oh", as if he had let go of the matter.

Although Yu Mingyan felt that Lu Xingzhi should not have stopped being curious so soon, he was not too worried that Lu Xingzhi would know, his father would definitely not tell Lu Xingzhi, it would be good if his father didn't mislead Lu Xingzhi that he liked someone else, as for his father's An old friend, it seems likely that he would not tell Lu Xingzhi secretly.

"Okay, don't think too much," Yu Mingyan changed the subject, "My painting is finished, and you don't need to be a model from tomorrow on."

Lu Xingzhi turned his head to look at the paintings on the easel, sighed for a while, and said in a regretful tone, "Am I going to lose my job so soon? Isn't Yan Yan going to draw another painting?"

"Not going to." Yu Mingyan was very firm.

"And you said you were unemployed. You just came to be a model for a few days, and your occupation is not this."

Lu Xingzhi's tone was still very regretful: "Isn't a side job a profession?"

"No, and I didn't give you any money."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi forked another piece of fruit and handed it to his mouth, as if he was bribing: "Then brother posted it upside down, how many more days will you let him do it?"

Yu Mingyan accepted his bribe and firmly refused: "No."

"Really? My brother will be very sad."

Seeing that he didn't look sad at all, Yu Mingyan didn't pretend to be sad: "Then you should be sad."

Lu Xingzhi couldn't help laughing: "Won't Yanyan comfort me?"

Yu Mingyan had flesh in her mouth, her cheeks were bulging, she pondered for a moment, as if she had compromised: "Then you are sad first, and I will comfort you tomorrow."
