The fact that Ye Ci was the last in Tiancheng Private School had been widely known in the Huo family.
This noble family, which has been passed down for more than a hundred years, looks down on the uneducated and unlearned playboys. Mediocre offspring mean a fall in class and are a symbol of the decline of the family. The more they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, the harder they have to work than ordinary people. Therefore, "the young master of the family is dull in talent" has become a topic of conversation for those relatives from the side branches who covet the family.
Knowing that Ye Ci's final ranking had moved up by more than 150 places, Lin Yao couldn't help but want to show off to others to vent her anger. It happened to be Huo Changyu's birthday in July, so she happily used the tool Huo to host another family dinner. Half of the focus of the dinner was to celebrate the birthday, and the other half was to celebrate Ye Ci's academic progress.
"…Xiao Ci, you are too modest. What is the middle and lower reaches? Besides, how can the middle and lower reaches of Tiancheng be the same as the middle and lower reaches of ordinary schools?" At the dining table, Lin Yao took Ye Ci's arm affectionately and refuted his "middle and lower reaches" theory. "Besides, you took more than a year off from school to take care of your mother. You have used the past six months to catch up with the progress of more than a year. Your progress will only be faster in the future. I think if you work harder, you will have no problem getting into the top 50 or top 30 in the grade. Ting Lan, don't you think so?"
Huo Tinglan was using a serving chopstick to add more food to Ye Ci's plate. Upon hearing this, he first affirmed Ye Ci's learning ability: "Well, theoretically it shouldn't be a problem." After speaking, he glanced at Ye Ci and gently comforted him, "But Xiao Ci, don't be too stressed. In terms of ranking..."
Don't set rigid requirements for yourself.
He wanted to help Ye Ci relieve his stress, but Ye Ci was flattered by the praise and high hopes placed on him by the elders. Before Huo Tinglan could finish his words, he nodded his head at Lin Yao several times and even made a pledge: "I will work harder, and in the second semester of my senior year... I will definitely be in the top 30 in my grade!"
It's impossible to stop it.
Huo Tinglan smiled.
"That's right." Lin Yao's motherly love overflowed, and she smiled gently. It was rare for her to lower herself to "serve" someone. She lifted the lid of the small bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall beside Ye Ci and said, "Xiao Ci, try the stew first. It won't be fresh if it gets cold. ..."
This child is so well-behaved, and has a rare kind of innocence, which makes him lovable in every way. No wonder her son's temperament has changed drastically in the past few months, and he protects her like the apple of his eye.
If there is anything lacking, there is only one thing.
This child doesn't seem to be speaking very clearly.
Correcting stuttering shouldn’t be that difficult now, right
Lin Yao took a sip of soup, feeling slightly worried. She wanted to find a chance to remind the child after the party, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that the child would be hurt by what she heard, so she had to suppress the idea for the time being.
The family dinner lasted nearly three hours.
During the banquet, Huo Changyu, instructed by Lin Yao, invited all the guests to toast to congratulate Ye Ci on his academic progress as the birthday boy. Ye Ci was afraid that drinking the beverage would be inappropriate, so he urgently asked the nearest waiter to pour him a small half glass of unknown wine to save the situation, and then stood up and drank it all.
The wine tasted thick and sharp, and the alcohol content seemed to be quite high. Ye Ci had a feeling that something was wrong.
After finishing his drink and sitting down, Ye Ci knew something was wrong when he saw Huo Tinglan glancing at his wine glass with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
Sure enough, this wine gets you in the head very quickly.
When Lin Yao took out the jade bracelet passed down to her by Huo Changyu's mother in front of all the Huo family members and handed it over to the husband of the current head of the family according to family rules, Ye Ci was already drunk.
Fortunately, he was well-behaved even when drunk and didn't act crazy. If it weren't for his dull eyesight, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was drunk. Every time Lin Yao said something, he just grunted softly.
Lin Yao didn't know what she was thinking of all of a sudden, the corners of her mouth were so curled up that she couldn't suppress it. The man was on the left and the woman was on the right. She took Ye Ci's left hand and put the jade bracelet on him.
It was a rare long holiday, and before the family dinner started, Ye Ci promised Lin Yao that he would stay overnight for a few days and talk to her.
After the banquet, Huo Tinglan took him out of the banquet hall. With the intention of letting him take a few steps in the night breeze to sober up, they took a short detour and returned to the main house through the garden.
At night, the gardeners had all gone to bed, and the garden was quiet. Ye Ci, stimulated by alcohol, walked more lively, picking flowers and plants. Lin Yao loved flower art, and there were many exotic flowers and plants in the garden. Ye Ci fiddled with them like a curious kitten. Huo Tinglan, with his formal coat draped over his arm, followed behind slowly with a smile on his face.
When the two passed by a flower wall, Huo Tinglan glanced at the top of the wall inadvertently, called Ye Ci, raised his hand and pointed, saying: "Xiao Ci, look—"
It was late, and the garden lights were on, shining brightly, reflecting the good things on the flower wall -
A rare variety of rose.
The petals transition from bright golden red to cream color, which does not look like real flowers. If you take a picture of it and post it online, it will most likely be accused of being photoshopped.
The current temperature is no longer suitable for growing this delicate and expensive flower species, but for some reason this one is blooming exceptionally tenaciously.
Ye Ci tilted his little head back, opened his watery almond-shaped eyes and looked over.
"Is he handsome?" Huo Tinglan asked, looking at him with interest.
He pointed out the flowers to him just to elicit this expression of innocent surprise from him.
"Beautiful," Ye Ci blinked, "Uncle Huo, do you like it?"
"I like it." Huo Tinglan answered nonchalantly, just admiring the face against the backdrop of the flower wall.
As a result, in just this moment of distraction, Ye Ci pulled his sleeves casually, suddenly rushed towards the flower wall, stepped on the red and white bricks exposed between the vines, jumped up in a parkour style, and firmly grasped the top of the three-meter-and-a-half-meter-high wall with his right hand. Taking advantage of the less than one second of pause, he picked up the rose with his left hand and flew down.
She still wore the jade bracelet on her left wrist.
This bracelet could be sold for tens of millions at an auction. It was a round, old-gold glass-type jade. Because he didn't know anything about it and was drunk, he just jumped up and down while wearing it.
If someone who didn’t know saw him, they would think he was some young master who had been spoiled to the point of being lawless.
It was hard to tell why Huo Tinglan suddenly smiled.
Ye Ci stood firmly on the ground. He was too drunk to think clearly, but he also vaguely understood that he had just acted cool. He just didn't know how effective it was and whether it moved the person he loved. Seeing Huo Tinglan looking at him and smiling, he showed a little pride in his shyness, handed the rose to Huo Tinglan, and whispered: "If you like it, I'll give it to you. I picked it for you."
He is a young man who tries to please his sweetheart.
And he is exactly the one he likes and loves.
All of this is as hazy as a good dream.
Huo Tinglan's heart was beating wildly. He stretched out his hand, intending to take the rose, but somehow he touched Ye Ci's hand.
He couldn't help but pinch the back of his hand, then rubbed it upwards almost lustfully, caressing the thin and strong wrist - as white as the moon, surrounded by a thin, delicate and tempting emerald green, which was something only an orthodox "daughter-in-law" of the Huo family would have.
young married woman.
Ye Ci was afraid of hearing this kind of gender-reversed address.
He has differentiated into an OGA, which means he is "female" at the glandular level, so "male" at the body structure level has become his bottom line. He is extremely sensitive to these things and cannot even take jokes about them.
If he really did, he wouldn't be angry with Huo Tinglan, but he would be listless for a long time, looking like a poor guy whose male dignity was damaged. So Huo Tinglan only played this joke once, and regretted it so much that he hugged the little gentleman and coaxed him for a long time, and he would never dare to play it a second time.
But just thinking about this kind of name or even silently saying it makes one get angry all over.
"Uncle Huo..." That kind of touch was too strange and abnormal. Ye Ci was so embarrassed that he wanted to retract his hand, but he was hoping that Huo Tinglan would take his rose, so he had to hover there awkwardly and let him flirt with him.
"Let's go back to the room." Huo Tinglan finally took the rose, wrapped Ye Ci's hand in his palm, and pulled him quickly towards the main house.
The room for them to stay overnight had already been cleaned up. Ye Ci was thrown onto the bed by him, and they rubbed each other with a flushed face. Huo Tinglan repeated several times what he had done to Ye Ci's left hand a moment ago, covering him from head to toe.
Ye Ci was rubbed by him until he looked dazed and a little drunk, with redness at the corners of his eyes. He couldn't even struggle or resist, and just lay limp and hummed.
At present, this is all we can do.
"Here..." Huo Tinglan stood up and covered Ye Ci's abdomen. The cool linen material was immediately warmed by his palms, and it looked soft and smooth. His Adam's apple rolled and he asked in a low voice, "Is it healed?"
Ye Ci asked in confusion: "What, grown, grown well?"
The inside of a flat belly…
I wonder how much that secret cavity has grown to, and whether it is mature enough to withstand a lifelong mark.
This place is different from the gland. He can't judge it by touch or naked eyes. He can only rely on Ye Ci's own perception, or go directly to the hospital for a test.
And until he confirmed this, there was nothing he could do.
Besides, taking advantage of Ye Ci's drunken state is the limit. Any more... would be unreasonable.
He believes that every important breakthrough in a relationship occurs when both parties are at least sane.
Afraid that Ye Ci would have a hangover and a headache, Huo Tinglan asked someone to bring him a bowl of sobering soup and a small vase.
He put the roses in the vase, fed Ye Ci some hangover soup, and then coaxed the drunken cat to change clothes and wash up, and then hugged him to sleep. He didn't specifically order, so the servants only laid out a quilt when cleaning the guest room, and he was happy to share the same quilt with Ye Ci.
Soothing agave pheromones and the sweet scent of roses fill the quiet night.
Maybe it was because we had too much "physical contact" today, and we slept in the same bed hugging each other...
At three o'clock in the morning, Ye Ci woke up from a gorgeous dream.
He dreamed of Huo Tinglan again like last time.
The back of my neck felt hot, the sweet and sticky scent of vanilla filled the room, and my heart was pounding wildly.
He was almost sober.
Even though there was still a little bit of alcohol left, I was scared away when I realized that something was wrong...
And when Ye Ci became more conscious and realized that they were not even at home, but at Huo Tinglan's parents' home, this bad thing became doubly bad.
Ye Ci bit his lips until they turned white, climbed up on tiptoe and lifted the quilt.
He was sweating profusely, and the sweat... left wet marks on the C sheet.
"… "
Finished.
Just die.
