My son sleeps lightly

The doctor rushed over following the shopkeeper, put down the medicine box, and began to check Xiao Ao's injuries. Xiao Chong naturally stepped aside, standing with Ye Xi and watching anxiously.

"Doctor..." Ye Xi asked cautiously.

The doctor took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from the medicine box, "I'll sprinkle this medicine powder on him first, it hurts a bit, someone can press it."

Both Ye Xi and Xiao Chong wanted to make a move, but the two of them shrank back at the same time, each with their own reasons.

Ye Lan glanced from one person to another, and said, "I'll do it."

"It's okay, Second Young Master, I'll just come," the shopkeeper said quickly, putting one hand on the back of Xiao Ao's head, "Come here, doctor."

The doctor pointed the mouth of the bottle at the wound, lightly tapped the medicine bottle with his index finger, the powder inside shook out a little, and was dripping on the wound, Xiao Ao was obviously not prepared, so he let out a loud cry of pain.

Xiao Chong's face twitched, as if he felt Xiao Ao's pain, but he held back, but clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves.

The doctor was quite skilled, so he quickly bandaged Xiao Ao, wrapping it several times from inside to outside, leaving only his left eye, which blinked innocently.

Ye Xi looked at him distressedly, and then remembered, "I'll get you a stool, you can't just sit on the ground."

"Okay," Ye Lan said, "You can send him home and have someone arrange a place for him. I'll take care of things here."

"Okay!" Ye Xi readily agreed. Sure enough, she had a backbone by her side, and she was able to calm down quite a bit. She then said to the shopkeeper, "You can help me pay for the medicine first, and I'll send someone to bring it later."

"Hey," the shopkeeper nodded, secretly admiring Xiao Ao's good luck, but his appearance made the young lady of the family fall in love with him from then on.

"You guys," Ye Lan saw that there were two silent guys standing by and watching worriedly. According to this state, work will have to stop in the afternoon, so make good use of it. What an accident."

"Okay!" Just now a few older craftsmen went out to chase that tricky man. The two of them were left here by the shopkeeper to watch the shop. , and quickly followed.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Chong was shocked when he heard Ye Lan's words, he could see it, it must be.

After Ye Lan said this, he didn't mention anything else, he waited for Xiao Chong to explain himself, let alone this mess waiting to be cleaned up.

"Shopkeeper, I've caught it!" A panting man ran back, "Send it to the magistrate."

"Okay, I'll go right away." The shopkeeper quickly responded, and then looked back at Ye Lan, "Second Young Master, this..."

"Go, I'm staying here to help you look after the store."

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

"It's not a big deal, but don't mention Ye Xi's name." Ye Lan instructed again.

The shopkeeper naturally understood the meaning and nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle this matter properly."

Ye Lan is naturally relieved, his brother is also at the magistrate's place today, can this matter be handled properly?

Now his mind is only on Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan, "Second Young Master, I..."

"Clean up the blood on the ground first." Ye Lan snorted, walked behind the counter, sat on a chair, raised her feet, took a ledger from the counter, and read it leisurely.

Xiao Chong didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he had to follow his orders first.

He fetched a mop, wiped the floor again, and heard Ye Lan's faint voice, "There is blood in the cracks of the floor tiles, do it again."

What can I do with the floor tiles.

Xiao Chong rolled up his sleeves, took a rag, took another bucket of water, squatted on the ground, buttoned it up, and wiped it piece by piece.

After finally wiping off the blood from the seams, Ye Lan gave a new order, "Can't you see, the goods on that shelf are all messed up."

"Hey," Xiao Chong continued.

Ye Lan finally stood up, walked around the shop, settled on the sample shelf, picked up a small knife, and looked at it in his heart, "When did these goods come from?"

"It's just a sample, not for sale." Xiao Chong explained.

Ye Lan raised her eyebrows, "The samples can be left to dry casually like this, take these back to the back room, and re-polish."

"what?"

"You still want to talk back?" Ye Lan stared back, assuming the master's posture for the first time.

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, finally understood what Ye Lan meant, and put away all the samples resignedly.

When he finished his work, it was almost sunset, the shopkeeper came back with a group of clerks, explained the situation to Ye Lan, and asked the man to pay for the medical expenses, and handed it all over to Ye Lan, and asked him to go back to pay for it. Xiao Ao.

Ye Lan took it, and took out some copper coins from her purse, and asked the shopkeeper to distribute it to the guys who helped today, saying that everyone has worked hard, and the wages are paid, so let's go back and rest first.

When everyone dispersed, the shopkeeper was moved, and he pulled Ye Lan and said a few more words before he remembered, "Where's Xiao Chong?"

When Xiao Chong heard this, he was polishing the last item on hand and putting it back on the shelf.

The shopkeeper looked at the things in his hand in surprise, "Hey, I've always wanted them to play with it, but everyone said I don't have time, so you're interested."

"It's the second young master." Xiao Chong didn't want to steal credit.

"Second young master," the shopkeeper really felt that he had misjudged Ye Lan before, and sure enough, this second young master was more than just gold and jade.

"What I should do," Ye Lan said modestly, "Then I will take Xiao Chong away first."

"Okay." The shopkeeper sent the two of them off with a smile, without noticing the instant spark between the two.

At sunset, the people on the street were also rushing home, the excitement of the day had long since disappeared, and they hurried past the two of them.

"Is that kid named Xiao Ao your younger brother?" Ye Lan still asked, he thought that he would have enough to command Xiao Chong enough to let him admit his mistakes, but who knows, this afternoon, Xiao Chong never yelled a word of tiredness, and he sneaked a few times to see that the little donkey was just crouching down and working obediently there without saying a word.

But he straightened his back a few times and beat his neck and back with his fists, which actually softened Ye Lan's heart, so he could only compromise first, "If I don't ask you, are you planning not to tell me?"

"Yes." Xiao Chong replied.

Ye Lan almost lost his eyeballs in anger, he was so confident, he still...

"And," Xiao Chong paused, "I also kept other things from you."

Ye Lan was startled and laughed again, "Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong, it's been six years since I brought you into my house, and I'm so unworthy of your trust?"

Xiao Chong knew that Ye Lan was angry this afternoon because of this, so he didn't say a word of complaint, and he would do whatever Ye Lan asked him to do. It would be good if it made him feel a little bit angry.

Seeing Xiao Chong's silence, Ye Lan almost couldn't catch his breath, and his steps quickened. He didn't want to say a word to this heartless little white-eyed wolf!

When they were about to reach the gate of Ye Mansion, Xiao Chong stopped.

He didn't dare to go any further, he didn't even dare to look at Ye Lan's face who was furious now.

"I can tell you everything, and you can also decide whether I can go back tonight..." Xiao Chong stopped talking, he didn't know if he still had the right to call Ye Mansion "home".

Ye Lan took a deep breath, turned around, "Say it."

Without reservation, Xiao Chong told Ye Lan everything.

His identity, his father's identity, Zhang Tao's affairs, Cheng Yuan's affairs, everything, everything, even the very childhood events that he only had a little impression of, were told to Ye Lan.

He kept his head down, unable to see Ye Lan's ever-changing expression.

"That's all." Xiao Chong couldn't think of anything else to hide from Ye Lan. "It's not that I don't want to tell you," he told the truth. It is difficult to keep these secrets in front of Ye Lan. Seeing through all his fragile expressions, even though he could not see his unrequited love, Xiao Chong sighed subconsciously, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed, "I finally told you everything."

Ye Lan's lips parted slightly, after digesting for a long time, her eyes finally blinked, and some tears came out.

He stretched out his hand and touched the back of Xiao Chong's hand, "If I don't ask you, are you planning not to tell me?"

"En." Xiao Chong still answered like this.

"How long are you going to hide it?"

"lifetime."

"Keeping this secret, will you be frightened all your life?"

"Ah."

"Even so, you don't want to tell me and let me share it with you?"

Xiao Chong nodded, then raised his head immediately, "Second Young Master?"

Ye Lan looked at Xiao Chong, exerted all her strength, and slapped him on the back fiercely, "Is your second young master so useless?!"

"I... not?" Xiao Chong hadn't realized what Ye Lan meant.

"Isn't he Xiao Hantian's son? As for you, Xiao Hantian has been dead for many years, and the people who wanted to chase him have changed several times." Ye Lan pointed at the door of Ye Mansion, "Even Zhang Tao, When I saw him a few days ago, several strands of his hair turned gray, they are all gone, do you understand?!"

Ye Lan thought of those nights when Xiao Chong was woken up by nightmares, thought of him wanting to be more mature and sophisticated than his peers, and thought of the fate he carried with his small body, his whole body felt a little broken.

Why did he never think carefully about connecting these details, why did he let Xiao Chong face the uneasiness and possible dangers alone...

It's been six years, and you still blame Xiao Chong for not trusting yourself enough, Ye Lan took a deep breath, almost bursting into tears, "I'm about to be pissed off by you, by myself..."

The next moment, he didn't even realize that he seemed to be hugged by Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong had thought that if he told Ye Lan everything, with Ye Lan's usual behavior, he would not be able to drive him out immediately, but he would definitely alienate him, and he would never treat himself like he did before. He was wrong first, even if he couldn't trust himself, he should.

He had already prepared for this.

But now, Xiao Chong feels like he is dreaming.

Everything is too good to be true, Ye Lan like this is not real.

He had to hug this person tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and use the temperature of his body to remind himself that this was all true.
