Le Chu's "Tree Shadows and Flowers" was bought by buyers at a high price on the first day of the exhibition, and he never expected to see it at Chi Zhiyi's house.

Seeing Le Chu's surprised expression, Chi Zhijiu frowned, and looked at Chi Zhiyi puzzled.

"Shadow of Trees" was bought by Chi Zhiyi before as a gift to Chi Zhiqiu. At that time, Chi Zhiyi told him that he was able to buy this woodcarving of Master Dong Ci this time, and Le Chu was a great help.

In private, Chi Zhizhu even thought about whether "Shadow of Trees" was bought by Le Chu as a gift for him, so his impression of him increased a lot.

After all, Master Dongci's works have always been priced but not marketed. To buy them, money alone is not enough.

When Chi Zhijiu saw "Shadow of Trees" for the first time, let alone how happy he was, he first took a high-profile photo and posted it on Moments, which made his old friends jealous, and at the end he had to reply in unison:

No, no, I didn't buy it, but my son bought it to honor me.

The tree shadow is not big, but the original wall can't fit anymore, so Chi Zhizhu specially ordered someone to customize a display stand that is exactly the same as the museum exhibition, and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the living room under a glass cover.

But looking at Le Chu's expression now, it is clear that he knows that there is this wood carving, and he has no knowledge of his possession.

Le Chu looked at Chi Zhijiu, Chi Zhijiu looked at Chi Zhiyi, Yao Yin looked at the three of them suspiciously, thinking——

what's the situation?

Chi Zhiyi was the first to react, and after putting down the fishing rod in his hand, he said to Le Chu:

""Tree Shadows and Flowers" was bought by me and given to my dad."

Le Chu was surprised when he heard it, and turned to look at him: "Brother Yi, did you buy it?"

Chi Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."

Holding the fiery trees and silver flowers, Le Chu was a little annoyed: "Why didn't you tell me?"

If Chi Zhiyi had known that Chi Zhiyi was the big-money buyer, he would never have accepted that sum of money.

Seeing Le Chu's expression, as if he knew what he was thinking, Chi Zhiyi just smiled and didn't speak.

Chi Zhijiu, who was ignored, looked at the two people who seemed to be alone, coughed dryly to attract their attention, and then looked at Le Chu:

"Why, my son bought something for me, and he still needs to report to you?"

After hearing Chi Zhiju's words, Le Chu suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly shook his head: "No, Uncle Chi, I didn't mean that."

After finishing speaking, Le Chu found that he was still holding the fire tree and silver flower, so he stepped forward and carefully placed the gift box on the coffee table, and smiled embarrassedly at Chi Zhijiu:

"Happy birthday uncle."

Glancing at the beautifully packaged gift box, Chi Zhijiu said nothing, but Yao Yin beside him said with a smile:

"Xiao Chu, you are so thoughtful, and even specially prepared a gift."

While speaking, Yao Yin calmly nudged Chi Zhizhu with his elbow.

Chi Zhiyi opened his mouth and said to Chi Zhizhu: "Xiao Chu has been preparing for this gift for a long time. Dad, you will definitely like it."

After hearing this, Chi Zhijiu glanced at Le Chu, unmoved.

Now the number of people who give him gifts every year is unknown, and he doesn't think that Le Chu will give him any novelty things, anyway, there are only a few things in exchange.

Yao Yin heard Chi Zhiyi's implication, and was very surprised: "Could it be that you made this gift yourself, Xiao Chu?"

Le Chu touched his nose and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Yao Yin pushed Chi Zhizhu's arm, urging:

"Quickly open it and have a look, this is the child's wish."

Yao Yin was also curious - the gift box was [-] centimeters high by visual inspection, and the size was not small, and he didn't know what was inside.

Chi Zhijiu looked up at Le Chu, then raised his hand to get the gift box.

Seeing this, Le Chu subconsciously said, "Uncle..."

Chi Zhijiu just touched the gift box, he paused, then turned to ask him:

"Fragile goods?"

The wood carving is not fragile, but the slender part of Huoshuyinhua is easy to break if the movement is too big, so Le Chu nodded.

Hearing what Le Chu said, the corners of Chi Zhizhu's mouth moved, but he didn't speak, but the movements of his hands were much slower.

When Chi Zhiqiu opened the gift box, Chi Zhiyi pulled Le Chu to sit down, and took a good time to look at Chi Zhijue, ready to appreciate his father's expression next.

Mr. Chi has the posture of watching the show.

Seeing Chi Zhiyi's expression from the corner of the eye, Chi Zhijiu frowned almost imperceptibly, feeling a little suspicious in his heart——

It can't be a tricky prop, can it?

Don't young people nowadays like to play with this kind of thing, open a gift and pop out a spring fist or a fake snake.

Thinking of this, Chi Zhijiu became more careful in his hand movements, and moved a few centimeters away from the coffee table calmly.

He is so old, if it is really a prank, he will definitely drive these two out.

Chi Zhiju moved slowly, and Le Chu's heart rose to his throat following his movements, and he held his breath unconsciously, staring at him intently.

Chi Zhizhu's own cautious eyes froze for a moment when he opened the gift box and saw the Fire Tree Silver Flower, and the next second his movements accelerated, and a few seconds later, the complete Fire Tree Silver Flower appeared in front of everyone.

Fire trees and silver flowers are a scene that people in ancient times described as festively decorated with red lanterns on trees. However, lanterns must not be hung on wood carvings.

Therefore, among the luxuriant branches and leaves, Lechu replaced the lanterns with slender and hanging lines.

Seeing the fiery trees and silver flowers, even Yao Yin was amazed, let alone Chi Zhizhu.

Chi Zhijiu looked at the phrase "Happy Birthday" engraved on the base, and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that Chi Zhijiu was staring at Huoshuyinhua and kept silent, Le Chu wringed his fingers a little nervously, thought it over, and finally chose to speak truthfully:

"Uncle, I didn't know beforehand that you already had the Shadow Tree Flower, so I carved the Fire Tree Silver Flower again."

Le Chu was a little annoyed, the shadow of the tree and the tree of fire were both scenes, and he knew that he would be carving objects or people.

And Chi Zhijiu didn't seem to have heard what Qing Lechu said just now, he looked away from Huoshuyinhua, and slowly turned his head to look at him:

"You carved this?"

Le Chu nodded, and then glanced at Chi Zhiyi who had been silent by his side, hoping that he would come out and say something at this time.

Chi Zhiyi accurately received the distress signal from his little boyfriend, and before Chi Zhijiu could ask again, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the tree shadow flower that was not far away as an exhibit, and said to his father:

"Not only is this carved by Xiao Chu, but also carved by him."

Following the direction of Chi Zhiyi's finger, Chi Zhiju and Yao Yin turned their heads to look to the left at the tree shadow Huazhong who was offered as a treasure.

Yao Yin quickly understood what Chi Zhiyi meant, and opened his mouth instantly, but Chi Zhizhu hadn't turned his head around——

Isn't this carved by Master Dongci?How do you say it was created by Le Chudiao?

Seeing his father's rare dazed look, Chi Zhiyi suppressed a smile, and dropped a bomb without fear of trouble:

"By the way, Mom and Dad, I forgot to tell you that Xiaochu's real name is Dongci."

After finishing speaking, without giving Chi Zhizhu time to react, Chi Zhiyi said to him again solemnly:

"Dad, congratulations, you now own three works of Dongci, and he is your son's boyfriend, so you are Dongci's father without rounding up."

After receiving the cue from Chi Zhiyi's eyes, Le Chu stood up from the sofa with a 'shua', bowed to Yao Yin and Chi Zhizhu:

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Dongci."

"..."

Silence, the audible silence of a needle drop.

Silence is the living room of the Chi family today.

I don't know how long it took, but Yao Yin spoke first. She opened her mouth wide and looked at Le Chu with an expression of disbelief:

"Are you...are you joking?"

Le Chu and Chi Zhiyi shook their heads at the same time, in a tacit understanding.

Yao Yin: "..."

Yao Yin subconsciously turned her head to look at her husband, and saw that the latter's eyes were wide|round and his face was dull, obviously frightened.

Chi Zhizhu's dull expression lasted for at least a minute, he slowly blinked his dry eyes, and spoke with difficulty:

"You said...you are Dong, Dongci?"

Le Chu nodded when he heard the words, with an apologetic face on his face: "I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark for so long."

Chi Zhizhu: "..."

There was a few more seconds of silence, and finally Chi Zhiju stood up abruptly, left a sentence that he wanted to be quiet, got up and walked away.

Seeing this, Le Chu felt a sense of loss—it seemed that his identity as Dong Ci would not give him any extra points.

Before Le Chu's depression was over, Chi Zhiju, who had already left, left and returned.

Chi Zhiju stood by the coffee table and glanced at Le Chu and the others, then bent down and carefully picked up Huoshuyinhua, and finally floated away without a word as if his soul had come out of his body.

After Chi Zhijiu went upstairs, Le Chu blinked—what, what's going on?

Chi Zhiyi patted Le Chu's back with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, my dad was overwhelmed by the surprise."

Le Chu turned to look at him: "Is that so?"

Why does he feel frightened?

Chi Zhiyi smiled mysteriously at him: "You will know later."

On the other side, Yao Yin looked at Le Chu's fair and delicate face, and began to doubt his life. He couldn't help it, and asked:

"Dong, Xiaochu, how old are you this year?"

Yao Yin didn't know Dong Ci well, nor was he a fan, so his mood swings were not as big as Chi Zhijiu's.

Didn't Xiao Yi's father say that Dong Ci was over fifty years old?Is it true that some stars don't age?

What kind of skin care products are they using... No, it's fine for Xiao Yi to find a boyfriend, but why is he still looking for someone so old?

Seeing Yao Yin's sudden worry and sky-falling expression, Le Chu didn't know why, but answered honestly:

"It's already 23."

Chi Zhiyi obviously understood where his mother was thinking, so he explained dumbfoundingly:

"Mom, Xiaochu is younger than me, and the internet is all rumors, so don't think too much about it."

Yao Yin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and patted his chest to breathe——fortunately, ok...

…………

It was Chi Zhizhu's birthday, and Chi Zhiyi's younger brother Chi Zhiqi was definitely coming back, but he didn't get home until near noon because he was waiting for his girlfriend to finish class.

After the young couple put away the presents, Chi Zhiqi introduced Lechu to his girlfriend Qianqian.

Maybe it's because Chi Zhiqi has heard about Le Chu and Chi Zhiyi, so when Qianqian heard him introduce him as 'sister-in-law', she didn't have a trace of surprise on her face, and said with a smile:

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Le Chu was blushed by their sister-in-law one by one: "Hi, hello."

Seeing Le Chu's shy expression, Qianqian couldn't help laughing—the future sister-in-law is so thin-skinned.

After getting to know each other, Chi Zhiqi looked around the hall and said in doubt:

"Mom, where's my dad? Qianqian carefully selected a gift for him, why didn't he see anyone?"

Yao Yin grinned at Chi Zhiyi and Le Chu when he heard the words, and said with a smile:

"Ask your brother."

Facing his younger brother's curious eyes, Chi Zhiyi answered solemnly:

"Dad was touched by Xiaochu's birthday gift, and he is still in the room and refuses to come down."

After hearing Chi Zhiyi's words, his mother immediately dismantled the scene:

"I think you're scared, right?"
