The two of them were close, and the rest of them couldn't hear what the two were saying, and could only see the two of them standing close to each other. Ye Yingzhi is naturally known to everyone, even if he didn't know who the young man who made Old Man Xu stand up to greet him personally, he could have guessed by asking the people next to him or by looking at the people on the main table.
However, few people knew Chi Yan, and asking people who were acquainted with the Xu family could only get an ambiguous answer like "It seems like the boyfriend that the girl from Erye Xu's family just brought back from outside." Even the people who answered were beating drums in their hearts, not sure. The young master of Xu Erye’s family just introduced that this young man is his sister’s lover. It’s true, but looking at the situation in front of him, this young man does not seem to be the object of Xu Er’s girl. , more like the little lover of the head of the Ye family. Having said that, how could an ordinary person from outside be so familiar with Young Master Ye
Because of Ye Yingzhi, everyone didn't dare to talk too much, and they stopped after simply asking a few questions, but some still remembered that this young man seemed to be the eldest grandson who left the Chi family many years ago. Considering the age, Chi's parents and grandchildren should be so old now.
Seeing that he agreed, Ye Yingzhi gave a satisfied "Yeah", and then gently kissed his outer auricle without a trace before closing his hands and leaving, returning to the seat reserved for him on the main table. Chi Yan sat down in a trance, poking at the chopsticks in his hands absentmindedly, ignoring even the inquisitive gazes from all sides.
Suddenly he felt something very different. The sight that made him feel uncomfortable, Chi Yan raised his head and followed that line of sight to look back - it was Chi Rong. He was sitting on the table belonging to the Chi family, and after meeting Chi Yan's gaze, he turned his head away and started talking to the person next to him.
Chi Yan also turned his eyes, turned to look at Xu Rui, opened his mouth, Xu Rui glanced at the brothers and sisters with different expressions on the table, pointed to the squirrel mandarin fish in front of him: "Chi Shao, you Favorite dish."
Chi Yan understood what he meant, and didn't speak any more. He only occasionally talked to Xu Rui and his sisters about trivial matters.
Chi Yuanshan had a panoramic view of the scene just now, and continued to socialize quietly. In fact, as early as Ye Yingzhi walked over and Chi Yan stood up, he recognized his son, but he pretended not to know, his face was as usual, and he didn't show any clues, but his heart was far less calm than his face.
Of course he knew how good Chi Yan was with the third son of Ye, and he reminded Chi Rong to pay attention to this, so that he should not go too far in some things, or at least not leave evidence that can be found to cause trouble for himself. But it didn't take it too seriously. After all, he thought that at that time, Ye Yingzhi was only the youngest son of the Ye family. To please him and accompany him to amuse him, naturally he will not refuse. But now Ye Yingzhi is the head of the Ye family, with unpredictable grace, alienation and indifference, and no one can get close to them. He has not taken the initiative to pay attention to Chi Yan's affairs after the two have been separated for many years, so he may not have too deep friendship for his son. . Even if there is a little friendship when you are young, and you haven't seen the change of status and status for a long time, that little friendship will be nothing.
At that time, he guessed that the head of the Ye family might not be in charge of things related to Chi Yan, but it was out of caution that he reminded Chi Rong to pay special attention.
However, today's situation is far beyond his expectations. The room was full of friends and guests, and he didn't realize that Chi Yan had actually sneaked in again, but Young Master Ye went straight to the other side as soon as he came in, with an intimate demeanor, obviously not without emotion. Thinking of this, he felt uneasy in his heart. He knew all the things Chi Rong did. He pretended not to know. Just hurry. It's better to wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly.
After an hour, Xu Rui got up and went to the bathroom. Chi Yan waited for ten minutes and went out.
Xu Rui was standing outside in the pavilion and leaning against the railing to let the wind out. Chi Yan walked over and felt a little embarrassed: "That... I just couldn't hold back. He asked me and I agreed. I didn't think too much about it. Sorry."
"It's alright." Xu Rui smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this to happen. I was afraid that he would ignore you and you would take the initiative to try to attract his attention and anger him. He is notorious for not wanting to be close to people, especially if he doesn't like others to approach him deliberately. In the situation just now, you have to grit your teeth and refuse to agree to find trouble."
Chi Yan nodded and said nothing.
I just heard Xu Rui continue: "Chief Chi, but speaking of it, that person does seem to treat you differently. Did you see that when my grandfather went up to meet him, he didn't show much expression, you called him 'Yingzhi brother' ', his face was about to bloom, and it was impossible to pretend, and it was not necessary to pretend." Speaking of the latter, his voice couldn't help but contain a little more playfulness and ridicule.
Chi Yan smiled and scolded back, pretending to be light and calm on the outside, but he was actually extremely embarrassed in his heart, but he had based on this inconsistent skill from Chi Yuanshan. He thought that the conversation between him and Ye Yingzhi was quiet enough, but Xu Rui, who was sitting next to him, could still hear it, and maybe Xu Xin also heard it.
Calling another grown man "Brother Yingzhi" at such a young age... But it was overheard by an unknown number of people... Chi Yan covered her face and followed Xu Rui to the hall.
When he stood at the door, he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the main table, there was an empty seat, and the person was no longer there.
Xu Rui followed his gaze and explained in a low voice: "The head of the Ye family has always been in poor health, and he rarely shows his face. Even if he does, he won't stay long. He is probably surprised that he will attend this banquet. He only appeared on the day of the sacrifice."
Chi Yan was a little sad and at a loss when he saw that Ye Yingzhi had left the venue. After hearing Xu Rui's words, the sadness instantly turned into worry.
Of course he knew that Ye Yingzhi's health was not good. When he was a child, he was ignorant. Once he insisted that Ye Yingzhi would hold him and turn around to look at the flowers in the yard, but Ye Yingzhi didn't say anything, smiled and agreed, and carried him out for an hour. He has been holding Ye Yingzhi's neck, clinging to him and unable to come down.
At that time, he was shorter than his peers and looked small, but he had some weight after all. Ye Yingzhi had been accustomed to him saying nothing, but after returning home that day, he fell ill, his face was blue and white, his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were constantly shaking, and he could hardly breathe.
Chi Yan was frightened, and after the doctor left, he lay on the other side of the bed and held Ye Yingzhi's hand, feeling that the palm of his finger was like ice, trembling slightly. He put Ye Yingzhi's right hand on his stomach, trying to spread the heat, until he couldn't hold back and fell asleep beside Ye Yingzhi.
Fu Bo didn't give him a good face because of that incident. On the one hand, he felt wronged, and on the other hand, he felt that he deserved it. Because he was worried about Ye Yingzhi, he fell asleep and shed tears quietly. When he woke up the next day, his eyes were full. Swollen. When he was about to wake up, he felt Ye Yingzhi gently hugging him, as if he was talking to Uncle Fu: "Don't scare A Yan, A Yan is still young, I am willing to be so used to him."
He heard Uncle Fu's helpless voice: "But Third Master, Chi Shao is someone else's child after all, and you can't get used to him forever."
Ye Yingzhi paused for a moment, and then said calmly, "No matter who he is, I will be used to him for the rest of my life."
The hands still had no warmth, but they were much better than when the master was sick last night, and they were no longer as cold as a dead person. While pretending to be asleep, Chi Yan quietly buried her face in the palm of one hand, feeling that her heart was sweet and beautiful. Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yingzhi is only five years older than him, but he has always been accustomed to him like a doting elder brother, doting on him.
But since then, he has not dared to ask Ye Yingzhi to hold him out to play. Sometimes Ye Yingzhi takes the initiative to hold him out, and he will find various reasons to refuse. Later, when he grew up, he would not let Ye Yingzhi hold him outside childishly, but the two of them were still as close as ever in Bieyuan.
So when we meet again today, Ye Yingzhi is so close to him. Although Chi Yan feels ashamed and out of place because he feels that he is no longer a child, he will not be surprised by the other party's actions-maybe in the heart of Yingzhi's brother, You are still a little kid. He didn't realize that he was an adult at all, he wouldn't see himself in the same way as a young man of the same age, and he wouldn't have the same... love and desire for himself.
That person would never have imagined that, from the age of fourteen or fifteen years old, when his youth was sprouting, he had already loved him with the feeling of treating the person he admired rather than treating his brother.
Just when he was distracted, a man in black came to him, bowed slightly and bowed: "Children, please come with me, the owner is waiting for you in the car."
Chi Yan looked out in the direction he indicated, and saw a black car parked at the corner outside the door. The rear window of the car was half open. I vaguely saw the silhouette of a man sitting on the back seat.
Chi Yan's throat moved, looking at Xu Rui, Xu Rui waved to him and motioned him to go.
"Brother misses Ah Yan, go back with my brother tonight, and let my brother take good care of you." Involuntarily, these words echoed in Chi Yan's mind again, together with the man's low and cold voice, which seemed flat and vague.
Done. Chi Yan couldn't help but closed his eyes and covered his forehead with his hand. Even though he was close at hand, he... misses him even more.
Chi Yan followed the man to the direction of the car, feeling that the palms of his hands were sweating unconsciously.
The man opened the rear door and asked Chi Yan to sit in before closing it.
Ye Yingzhi was sitting at the other end of the seat, when he heard the sound, he turned to look at him, and reached out to hold the hand he put aside: "Are you cold?"
His hands were slender, strong and cold, a familiar feeling to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan slowly approached the man and looked at the man cautiously and a little nervously. The lights in the car made the man's dark eyes look extra gentle.
The engine started, the car drove out smoothly, Chi Yan quietly shifted his gaze a little, and whispered, "Brother Yingzhi..."
He felt that Ye Yingzhi was looking at him, and he didn't dare to look at him. He pinched the fur cushion on the seat: "Ayan misses you too." He didn't realize the dependence and grievance in his voice.
"Good." Ye Yingzhi leaned over and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the person beside him, so that Chi Yan could just lean on his shoulder, "Little baby, brother brought you home."
