Ruan Wenxi quickly recovered from the shock when he saw the painting, and quickly asked: "Xiaoqi, do you still keep those paintings you drew before?"

Xu Qisi nodded: "I have kept all the paintings well, but they have all been put away."

Ruan Wenxi: "Can I have a look?"

Xu Qisi didn't know why he was so eager all of a sudden, but without thinking too much, he went to the shelf and pulled out a picture album.

He has drawn many paintings before, which are stored in different places. The nearest one is this picture album on the bookshelf, which contains some small homework assigned by the teacher every day.

After getting the album, Ruan Wenxi opened it up and read it one by one. From the self-created paintings, it can be seen that his usual painting style is fresh and bright or tender and gentle, with vigorous vitality, as if Speaking of a positive hope.

Ruan Wenxi gradually had a plan in his heart, and asked again: "Xiaoqi, can I temporarily borrow these as one of the evidence?"

Xu Qisi blinked: "But is this enough evidence?"

Ruan Wenxi smiled slightly: "These alone may not be enough, but if they are combined with some of the things I collected before, it is enough to make me [-]% sure."

As he spoke, he added: "I know what these paintings mean to you, so I will return them to you after I borrow them, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Qisi didn't really care about this, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I trust Brother Wen Xi. If Brother Wen Xi needs it, just take it together, and I should thank you."

Ruan Wenxi rubbed his head: "Then I'll go find my uncle and I'll be back later."

Xu Qisi nodded, thought for a while and said, "Dad should be in the study now, do you need me to tell Dad in advance?"

Ruan Wenxi: "Okay."

Xu Qisi took out his mobile phone as promised, first talked to Xu's father, confirmed that Xu's father was free now, and asked Ruan Wenxi to go directly to the study to find someone.

He watched Ruan Wenxi leave, and after his figure disappeared behind the door, he began to put the things he took out little by little back into the big box.

But after trying to flip through the photo album just now, he couldn't help but read it all over again when he put the things back this time.

Some things he no longer remembers why he got them, some left a general impression, and some have more recent and deeper memories.

He looked at the things he had thrown into this big box in the past, as if he also saw the changes in his mood year by year.

From depression at the beginning, to disgust and anxiety in the middle, to numbness later.

This is also the process in which he is gradually immersed in escaping.

But in the future, there should be no new things added to this box.

Ruan Wenxi's figure played back in Xu Qisi's mind.

Although the future is still long, but for some reason, he just feels that with Ruan Wen present, everything will gradually get better.

Xu Qisi couldn't help but curled his lips into a shallow smile, and continued to tidy up seriously.

He had just finished packing when he heard a knock on the door again.

"Xiao Qi, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

It was Xu Qixian's voice.

He took out a paper towel and wiped his hands, and quickly walked to the door to open it: "Brother, do you need anything from me?"

Xu Qixian said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just came to talk to you. I don't know if it's convenient for Xiaoqi now?"

Xu Qisi moved out of the way, scratched his head and said, "Convenience is convenience, but now maybe... the room is a bit messy. Brother, come in first."

Xu Qixian walked into his room according to his words, saw the big box and the scattered things beside him, and asked curiously: "Is Xiao Qi packing things to take to Fang Shi Garden?"

Xu Qisi shook his head: "No, these are all things from his childhood. The painting that was said to be plagiarized... was later hidden by me at the bottom of this box, and I just dug it out to serve as evidence for Brother Wen Xi."

"Oh." Xu Qixian responded, went to the room and found a chair to sit down, "Then you continue to tidy up your things, and I'll chat with you casually."

Xu Qisi originally wanted to say that it's okay to clean up later, but remembering the promise he made with his family in the living room just now, he nodded and went back to the small stool to sit down.

Xu Qixian was indeed as he said, he only came to chat with Xu Qisi about homely topics.

Most of them are not used to living in Fangshi Garden, are there any discomforts, what is the personality of the little flowers raised at home, and so on.

Most of the time in the living room, Xu Qiqi was sharing her own interesting stories, and Xu Qixian, as the eldest brother, it is normal for her to care about her younger brother in private.

Xu Qisi basically answered every question, and he was much more relaxed in the few rounds than at the beginning.

Xu Qixian finally got to the point quietly at this time, and tentatively said, "Xiao Qi has been with the second young master of the Ruan family for more than two months now, what do you think of him?"

Mentioning Ruan Wenxi, Xu Qisi unconsciously smiled a little more.

"I think Brother Wenxi is very kind and gentle, and he respects my ideas very much. I feel very happy to be able to live with Brother Wenxi."

Xu Qixian noticed his younger brother's change of mood, his eyes were a little more complicated, and he asked, "For example?"

Xu Qisi stopped what he was doing and thought for a while before answering: "When I had a high fever two days ago, Brother Wen Xi has been taking care of me."

Xu Qixian's focus suddenly shifted, he got up nervously, and went to check the temperature of Xu Qisi's forehead: "You said that you had a high fever two days ago? How are you doing now? Do you still feel uncomfortable? Why don't you rest there for a few more days and go back and forth Run carefully and catch a cold again."

Xu Qisi obediently let Xu Qixian take his temperature, and said obediently: "Yesterday, he was cured, and he was seen by the family doctor again this morning. It's all right now, and I don't want to worry you any more, so I didn't say anything."

"Then you can't toss yourself so quickly." Xu Qixian's eyes are full of disapproval, "I knew you were recovering from a serious illness, and I should have let you come back after a while. Your physique is already worse than ordinary people, and you have relapsed after tossing like this. what to do?"

Feeling his brother's concern, Xu Qisi felt warm in his heart, and comforted him, "I'm really fine. In the past few days, Brother Wen Xi has been with me almost every step of the way. I'm much better than before."

Confirming that Xu Qisi really doesn't look like he is still sick now, Xu Qixian finally let go of his heart and shifted his focus back to his original direction.

"You said that the Ruan family kept guarding you when you were sick?"

Xu Qisi didn't notice anything wrong, nodded and said: "Even Brother Wen Xi stayed on guard until midnight to make sure that I didn't get sick again at night before going back to my room to sleep."

"Brother Wenxi is really nice, brother, you don't have to worry about me."

Listening to what Xu Qisi said, Xu Qixian's eyes became more complicated.

This sounds like more than just "good people".

Xu Qixian himself was in the state of interacting with a certain lady, and he was more experienced in these things, so he could see something was wrong almost immediately.

Coupled with the plagiarism he has been busy investigating these days, Ruan Wenxi's dedication has completely surpassed the scope of friends, and it is more like...something he would do from the standpoint of a boyfriend.

Xu Qixian always felt that he was more worried about his brother's situation.

Now that the world is open, same-sex marriage has been legalized, but there are not too many people who actually enter the marriage hall with the same sex.

However, if the second young master of the Ruan family was sincere, he would not do anything to beat the mandarin ducks.

Xu Qixian thought of Xu Qisi's extra shallow smile when he mentioned Ruan Wenxi just now, he hadn't seen his younger brother showing such a relaxed and comfortable mood for a long time.

It's just that I don't know what kind of attitude my younger brother has towards Ruan Wenxi now.

Xu Qisi was already continuing to organize the things in the box, completely ignoring Xu Qixian's strange gaze.

Xu Qixian continued to ask some questions on the sidelines, and almost all he got was Xu Qisi's unsparing praise for Ruan Wenxi, and there was a faint emotion in his eyes, which were always shining.

Very well, the heart of his silly Baitian brother has been taken away.

Xu Qixian quickly came to a conclusion, sighed secretly in his heart, and decided to talk to Ruan Wenxi alone.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qixian used to worry that Xu Qisi would not be taken care of in the future. If he can find someone who can hold hands with him for the rest of his life, he, as an older brother, will naturally be happy.

But if that person is Ruan Wenxi, he has to be vigilant.

Xu Qixian and Ruan Wenxi are about the same age, and they occasionally deal with business. He knows how profit-oriented Ruan Wenxi is in business.

He even once thought that Ruan Wenxi would choose a commercial marriage in the future in order to maximize the interests of the Ruan family.

These thoughts were fleeting in Xu Qixian's mind, and he asked Xu Qisi some irrelevant questions, and then found an excuse to leave for the time being.

Xu Qisi didn't feel anything wrong from the beginning to the end, and waved goodbye to Xu Qixian.

Xu Qixian also answered him with a smile, and then left the room, closing the door behind him, and happened to bump into Ruan Wenxi who was about to come up when he was going downstairs.

"Master Xu."

Ruan Wenxi was the first to say hello politely.

Xu Qixian raised his eyebrows lightly: "What a coincidence, I'm going to find Second Young Master Ruan."

"Oh?" Ruan Wenxi looked at him with a polite and distant smile, "I don't know if Master Xu is looking for me, is there something?"

Xu Qixian said: "It has something to do with Xiaoqi. I don't know if it's convenient for Ruan Er Shaofang to take a step to talk?"

Ruan Wenxi nodded: "Naturally."

The two of them didn't stay stuck on the stairs for long, and soon went to the rooftop on the fourth floor together.

It had only snowed not long ago, and there was still a thin layer of white snow on the roof.

Ruan Wenxi sat down face to face with Xu Qixian, the smile in his eyes was not real: "I wonder what Young Master Xu wants to say?"

Different from the state when facing Xu Qisi, this time Xu Qixian went straight to the point: "Do you like our Xiao Qi?"

Ruan Wenxi was not surprised by his question, and nodded frankly: "Yes."

Xu Qixian: "Why Xiaoqi?"

Ruan Wenxi smiled: "If I say it was love at first sight four years ago, I wonder if Young Master Xu would believe it?"

"Four years ago?" Xu Qixian frowned, "The night of Xiao Qi's coming-of-age ceremony?"

Ruan Wenxi nodded: "Since that night four years ago, I have noticed Xiaoqi's existence, and then I have heard and learned a lot about him. Now that I can really live together, what I like about Xiaoqi Only increase, not decrease."

He spoke frankly and sincerely, and it didn't sound like there was any hypocrisy involved.

Xu Qixian was still confused: "But what do you like about Xiao Qi? After all, you are not the same people."

Ruan Wenxi didn't know what to think of, and his smile faded a bit, but soon returned to the original: "Indeed, we shouldn't be together. But if you like this kind of thing, Young Master Xu must also know that it's not something that can be explained clearly." Things, maybe in such a moment, suddenly there is a feeling that he belongs to him for the rest of his life."

Speaking of this, Ruan Wenxi paused before continuing: "Of course, I also know what Young Master Xu is worried about. I am usually a bit unreasonable, but Xiao Qi is always an exception with me."

Listening to Ruan Wenxi's words, Xu Qixian's eyes became complicated again.

At least from what he said, he really couldn't see anything unusual.

But judging from Xu Qisi's evaluation of Ruan Wenxi, he must be happy to let me go by his side.

Xu Qixian didn't say any more in the end: "Anyway, I just hope you don't feel ashamed of our Xiaoqi. As long as our Xu family is still here, and I am still here, I will not allow our family to be wronged outside."

Ruan Wenxi deserved to be straightforward: "This is natural. I can also promise to Young Master Xu that I will not force others to make things difficult. Relationships are consensual. If Xiao Qi has someone else he likes in the future, I will not continue to bother him. "

He had already talked to this point, and Xu Qixian didn't want to continue, and his expression eased: "I hope Er Shao Ruan can remember what you said."

Ruan Wenxi smiled back, expressing his affirmation.

After all, the rooftop was rather cold, so Xu Qixian left without staying any longer.

Ruan Wenxi watched him go downstairs, slowly put away his polite smile, and gently stroked the picture frame in his hand with his fingertips.

If Xu Qisi fell in love with someone else, he would naturally choose to let go, but he didn't promise that he would not cut off the possibility of Xu Qisi falling in love with someone else.
