"Why didn't you tell me when you went back to Beijing?" As soon as Chi Zhuolin entered the door, he frowned at the small double standard room in front of him, but he didn't ask "Do you need a deluxe room for you?" Chi Yingxue has a card that can be swiped at will. There is only one reason for staying in the standard room - I am happy.

"I didn't tell you, you didn't have accurate positioning." Chi Yingxue pulled the only chair in the house.

Just as Chi Zhuolin was about to step forward, he found that his younger brother sat up naturally.

He immediately felt at ease and confirmed that this was his real brother.

Hanging the coat on the wall, Chi Zhuolin looked left and right. Apart from the chair, there were only two beds left in the room with the quilts rolled into a ball.

"Which bed is yours?" Chi Zhuolin asked. He has never been the kind of person who feels wronged to stand without a stool, but it is not polite to sit on someone else's bed after all.

"Both are mine." Chi Yingxue said as a matter of course, with a little childish domineering.

Chi Zhuolin has a headache.

The key reason why he has never been married and does not want children is Chi Yingxue - raising a younger brother is already haggard, and he absolutely does not want to raise another child.

"How long will you stay in Beijing this time?" Chi Zhuolin picked out a relatively less chaotic bed, flipped over the quilt, sat down to the corner of the bed, his back straightened naturally, raised Erlang's legs, and put his fingers on his knees, stunned. The corner of the bed felt like a boss chair.

"A day or two," Chi Yingxue raised her chin lightly in the direction next door, "Look at them."

"In such a hurry?" Chi Zhuolin originally wanted to arrange some entertainment activities for Xu Wang and the others. It was a regular thank you and reward. You must know that this group of ALICE friends is the team that Chi Yingxue has been with for the longest time, and Chi Zhuo Lin did a survey and found that the four people have very clean backgrounds. Chi Yingxue playing with such people will not cause people to worry too much, "Where are you going next?"

Chi Yingxue opened a pack of fruit gummies on the table and threw an orange-flavored one into his mouth: "Guizhou."

"Guizhou?" Chi Zhuolin frowned, "Do you really think you are Xu Xiake?"

Shaanxi, Anhui, Henan, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan... A map of China appeared in Chi Zhuolin's mind, on which half of the country has been printed with his brother's small footprints.

Chi Yingxue yawned boredly, and threw a second strawberry-flavored one into his mouth: "Didn't you say that, idleness is idleness, traveling is better than fooling around, keeping fit, still low Carbon-friendly.”

"That doesn't mean that your journey will never end." Chi Zhuolin was helpless, he just hoped that he would go out to breathe fresh air, this is good, it's almost time to learn from the West.

Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at him casually: "I'm staying in Beijing, don't you find it annoying?"

Chi Zhuolin frowned and said seriously, "I never thought you were annoying."

Chi Yingxue said, "I find you annoying."

Chi Zhuolin: "..."

Chi Yingxue was amused. Although the battle of words did not yield anything practical, he was happy to see Chi Zhuolin being speechless.

Who let this person educate himself all day long, so that every time he faced each other, he felt like he was a generation shorter, and he was at a disadvantage.

"You, don't always think about taking care of me," Chi Yingxue sat upright, took out Chi Zhuolin's tone of voice and patted his brother's shoulder kindly, "Take care of the company and property, if you return it If you have extra energy, just get married and have an heir…”

"Are you persuading me or cursing me?" Chi Zhuolin just unscrewed a bottle of water. Hearing this, he didn't want to drink it at all - he was afraid of choking.

Chi Yingxue spreads out her hands, with a grievance of "no good news will be rewarded".

Chi Zhuolin's heart suddenly flashed a subtlety, although on weekdays, Chi Yingxue was also mad at the dead, but "emotional problems" never belonged to his younger brother's ridicule.

Squinting slightly, he scrutinized the whole room again without a trace. It didn't look like there was a second person, but driven by curiosity, he still made a surprise attack: "Are you in love?"

Chi Yingxue just threw the third grape-flavored gummy into her mouth, when she heard this, she subconsciously swallowed and swallowed the gummy.

The gummies hadn't softened completely, and their throat was sore. Chi Yingxue frowned, resisting the urge to grab the bottle of water that Chi Zhuolin had just unscrewed before she had time to drink it, and secretly swallowed a few more saliva. Smooth out the fondant completely.

With a secret sigh of relief, he directly changed the subject: "The King of Hell is gone."

Chi Zhuolin originally calculated the timing and was going to make persistent efforts to see if he could swindle something, but this sudden sentence disrupted the rhythm.

"What did you say?" he asked again cautiously, for fear that he had heard it wrong.

Chi Yingxue raised her eyes and looked at him quietly: "Ye Wang, gone."

"Is... forever- gone, or temporarily..." Chi Zhuolin's voice trembled slightly because of excitement.

"Here," Chi Yingxue pointed to his chest, "I can't find him."

Chi Zhuolin clearly heard his own heartbeat, and it was like beating a drum.

In the past, even if the King of Hell was asleep, Chi Yingxue could accurately find him and even wake him up, not to mention that the King of Hell did not sleep most of the time, but fought a tug of war with Chi Yingxue in his heart.

So Chi Zhuolin knows the meaning of the three words "can't find".

But he didn't understand: "Why suddenly..."

Chi Yingxue smiled at him, and under the dim light, it was almost indistinct: "You just think I had a long, long dream, and now I'm awake."

Chi Zhuolin couldn't help feeling distressed, and reached out and touched his head: "It's good to wake up." These four words made him feel inexplicably at ease, so he couldn't help repeating it again, "It's good to wake up."

He didn't receive any substantive evidence, just relying on Chi Yingxue's upper lip touching his lower lip, but Chi Zhuolin was willing to believe, or rather, he hoped more than anyone that it was true.

The younger brother, who is always switching between personalities, is both distressing and unfamiliar. Even if he has read countless psychology books, even if he keeps telling himself that another personality is also a younger brother, it is difficult to really do it. .

It is difficult for him to regard Hades as his younger brother, and Hades never regarded him as his elder brother.

The treatment was also stranded because of Chi Yingxue's resistance. Although some psychiatrists' treatment ideas really made him slander, "treatment" itself is the only way Chi Zhuolin can rely on.

"So," Chi Yingxue held her head with one hand and smiled at Chi Zhuolin, "You don't need to feel that you owe me any more."

Chi Zhuolin frowned slowly, as if puzzled.

Chi Yingxue looked at him lightly: "At that time, you were in boarding school, and you didn't know why I was afraid of him, but you still sent me letters to the best of your ability. Strictly speaking, you don't owe me, but I owe it. yours."

Chi Zhuolin finally understood, but his brows wrinkled deeper, and his tone sank: "Do you think I am doing this to you now to make up for what I owed you back then?"

Chi Yingxue raised her eyebrows slightly, as if asking "isn't it?"

Chi Zhuolin squinted him mercilessly: "You think too much. At that time, I didn't have any ability at all, and I couldn't speak at home. Even if I knew that he treated you so much, what else could I do except to be uncomfortable with you? "

"You heard clearly," Chi Zhuolin fixedly looked at him, and there was an unquestionable majesty in his tone, "I am good to you for one reason - you are my brother."

Chi Yingxue was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled: "Then you divide my property in half, and we split up, you don't need to be burdened by me in the future."

"I refuse." Chi Zhuolin didn't hesitate at all, and he refused so neatly and confidently, "How much will be given to you, as you can only go in and out, lie down and spend money, and in the end you have to sleep on the street."

Chi Yingxue smiled but said, "You still can't bear it."

Chi Zhuolin snorted softly: "The card I gave you has no upper limit, you can try your best to spend the money on me."

A mischievous light flashed in Chi Yingxue's eyes: "Don't regret it then."

Chi Zhuolin tilted his head to look at him and smiled gracefully: "If you can spend your money as fast as I can, you will win."

"..." Chi Yingxue finally knew how his teammates were feeling when he felt good about himself on weekdays.

Chi Zhuolin's eyes inadvertently landed on the gummy candy on the table.

"Sometimes, I think he's gone forever," Chi Yingxue's voice was low and dazed, "sometimes, I think he didn't leave..."

Chi Zhuolin's heart tightened, and of course he knew that "he" was referring to "The King of Hell".

"Didn't you just say that you couldn't find it..." Chi Zhuolin's words came to an abrupt end when Chi Yingxue raised her head suddenly.

The squinting eyes that came over were direct and sharp, like a knife.

Chi Zhuolin's heart sank to the bottom, he was too familiar with this look: "Ye Wang..."

The corner of the person on the opposite side of the mouth rose, first in a mocking arc, and then the smile couldn't hold back any longer, and it became really proud: "I'm teasing you."

"..." Chi Zhuolin looked at Chi Yingxue who had become Chi Yingxue for a moment, and didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

But one thing he can be sure of - revenge, definitely the revenge for his "big talk to make money" just now!

"Tuk Tuk—"

The knock on the door without warning interrupted the brothers' "warm time".

Chi Zhuolin didn't know why, but Chi Yingxue got up, walked over naturally, and opened the door without asking.

"Captain asked me to call you out for a late night snack. Brother Qian found a particularly delicious one beside him..." Kuang Jinxin's voice stopped after seeing Chi Zhuolin in the house, and was stunned for two seconds before he was surprised. said, "President Chi?"

Chi Yingxue looked back at Chi Zhuolin, and looked at him quietly without speaking.

Chi Zhuolin received the silent expulsion order accurately, got up smartly, took the coat and put it on his arm, and walked straight to the door: "You guys eat, I'll go back first."

Kuang Jinxin looked at Chi Yingxue and then at Chi Zhuolin. He didn't know what was going on. He instinctively asked politely, "How about we eat together?"

Chi Yingxue took Kuang Jinxin into the room with one arm, and pushed Chi Zhuolin out of the door with another arm: "There is something else in his company."

"Oh." Kuang Jinxin nodded blankly, and then looked at Chi Zhuolin, his eyes turned into congratulations.

Chi Zhuolin silently felt sorry for himself, but seeing how well Chi Yingxue and Kuang Jinxin were, he couldn't help but feel happy and relieved that he had made friends with his brother.

Watching Chi Zhuolin disappear at the elevator entrance, Kuang Jinxin wanted to turn back and continue to convey the matter of supper to Chi Yingxue, but the other party reached out a hand and closed the door.

Kuang Jinxin just came to pass a message, and planned to leave after the news, but the closing of Chi Yingxue changed the atmosphere subtly.

Also strange is Chi Yingxue. After closing the door, he did not speak, his eyes were lowered, and all his emotions were hidden in the shadows under his eyelashes.

"What's wrong?" Kuang Jinxin asked softly, his intuition was related to Chi Zhuolin.

What did their brothers just talk about? Yama thing? Childhood thing? A series of question marks popped up in Kuang Jinxin's head, together with those dark nightmares in the 9/23 level.

The body was suddenly hugged.

A simple and solid hug.

"Don't move, let me hold you for a while." Chi Yingxue's voice was above her head, but it sounded far away.

Kuang Jinxin was silent and motionless, letting Chi Yingxue hug him, but he didn't hug him back.

He could clearly feel that Chi Yingxue didn't need his reaction. The person holding him at the moment only needed something that could be held. This thing could be warm. It could be Jin Xin, or a doll. Or a throw pillow.

Kuang Jinxin heard two heartbeats, one steady and powerful, belonged to Chi Yingxue, and the other was fast and chaotic, belonged to himself.

Chi Yingxue didn't want to say anything at first. He had already talked too much to Chi Zhuolin just now, and now he felt empty and just wanted to hold something like this for a while.

But the room was so quiet that Chi Zhuolin's voice made a comeback.

[Are you in love?]

The things Chi Yingxue never thought about were hooked up by Chi Zhuolin like a joke.

It was like throwing a candy in his heart, it melted a little bit, and it was so sweet that it tickled people.

"Little Sijin," Chi Yingxue said suddenly, he was still holding him, his chin rested on his head, as if he wanted to continue the hug until the end of the world, "Have you ever talked about a girlfriend?"

"No." Kuang Jinxin turned his face sideways and looked at the wall next to him. There were some faint gray spots on the wall. If you didn't look carefully, it was easy to ignore and mistakenly thought that it was pure white.

"Where's your boyfriend?"

"No."

"Want to talk?"

"think."

"That… "

"But I don't want to talk to you."

Chi Yingxue pulled the person away and raised her eyebrows with some dissatisfaction: "Am I bad?"

The quiet and warm embrace was just like this, and the initiator drew a hasty end that was not commensurate with the process.

Or, he didn't care about it at all.

"You're not bad, you just can't figure out what you want." Kuang Jinxin wanted to give him a smile, but he didn't succeed, and there was embarrassment in his eyes, but the words continued, but fortunately his voice stabilized, "You I just want to find someone to accompany you. No matter who it is, as long as I can accompany you, that's fine."

Chi Yingxue was inexplicable: "That's why I found you."

Kuang Jinxin sighed and didn't know how to communicate with the other party: "When you are in love, you must like each other, like Captain and Brother Sheng." He tried to slow down his voice, hoping that Chi Yingxue would not be angry and listen to him, "What do you want to find? Personally accompany you, this is not liking, but loneliness."

Chi Yingxue stopped talking, but the temperature in her beautiful eyes was dropping.

Still angry.

Kuang Jinxin was annoyed.

In fact, Chi Yingxue's personality is very simple. Following him, he is happy, and going against him, he is irritable. Especially when he doesn't want to bear it, he will never aggrieve himself or restrain his temper.

But this thing is different from other things, he can't follow him.

Otherwise, Chi Yingxue would be at ease, and he would not be able to escape.

As long as Chi Yingxue accompanies him, he can only give him companionship, but Jin Xin still wants other things. He knows he wants to come, but it's too hard.

As Jin Xin was selfish, he didn't want to suffer.

"I, captain, counselor, brother Qian, we will all accompany you," Kuang Jinxin said softly before Chi Yingxue's eyes dropped to freezing point, "Even if we leave Owl, we will always be friends."

Chi Yingxue blinked slightly, under the dim light, she couldn't see her emotions clearly.

"Little Sijin, do you know what I hate the most about you?" He finally spoke, his voice softer than Jin Xin's, almost gentle.

Kuang Jinxin was stunned.

Chi Yingxue slowly spit out two words: "Hypocritical."

Kuang Jinxin felt a pain in his heart, for no reason.

Chi Yingxue continued on her own: "Even in the face of the most hated people, you can say a lot of beautiful words. It seems that everyone is struggling in the quagmire, and you are the only one standing on the shore with compassion."

"Actually, you may have scolded it many times in your heart, but the beautiful words that come out of your mouth are especially sincere and credible." He took a step back as he spoke, looked at Kuang Jinxin's face carefully, and finally nodded, "Well, It's because of this face, it's too upright and too confusing."

Kuang Jinxin blinked, his eyes a little blank and a little shrinking.

Reason told him that Chi Yingxue was angry because he was rejected. He had heard what he said, don't take it seriously.

But emotionally, he thought, maybe this is what Chi Yingxue really said, that's how he sees himself.

"tuk tuk tuk-"

The loud knock on the door made Kuang Jin Xin shudder.

But he reacted immediately and quickly turned around to open the door.

Qian Ai was outside the door, and when he saw that it was Kuang Jinxin who opened the door, he immediately complained, "Why can't you call someone!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Chi Yingxue who was also standing in the porch half a beat. He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes went back and forth between the two: "What's the matter with you two? You are not active in eating, what is there to talk about at a table? , what are you doing here?"

"Oh, that, Mr. Chi came over before leaving." Kuang Jinxin couldn't make up nonsense, so he could only use the truth to prevaricate.

"Chi Zhuolin?" Qian Ai's attention was really taken away, "Why didn't you let him have supper together?"

Before Jin Xin could answer, he had already figured out the answer by himself: "Understood, boss, you must be busy."

"Okay, change your clothes quickly, we will wait for you in the lobby downstairs." After Qian Ai and Chi Yingxue finished speaking, they pulled Kuang Jinxin out. Kuang Jinxin came to Chi Yingxue after changing his clothes. In Ai's mind, of course, he would go downstairs with himself who was also prepared.

Looking at Qian Ai's hand on Kuang Jinxin's shoulder, Chi Yingxue frowned subconsciously.

Qian Ai didn't notice, and with a "bang", he thoughtfully closed the door for his teammates from the outside.

This late-night snack, Chi Yingxue had no taste and taste, and occasionally glanced at Kuang Jinxin, the other party just ate hard. Until the end of the supper and back to the hotel, Chi Yingxue still didn't catch the other person's eyes.
