The car door was opened, Yi Wan bent over and got in. An Yeluan had no opinion on this, but An Yelin said first: "Yi Wan, you don't..."
The slender hand held his hand.
"They took you to a birthday party for An Yeyun and his friends." Yi Wan held him and said calmly, "You should also have the company of your own friends."
An Yelin's eyes trembled at that moment. His Adam's apple moved, but he didn't say a word in the end.
The car started moving. It was only then that An Yelan, who was sitting in the front seat, thought of something: "Your name is... Yi Wan, right? Are you alone?"
Only then did he realize that what Yi Wan had just said was "the two of us".
"Yes." Yi Wan looked at his own shadow on the window and said calmly, "I'm alone."
He did not let go of the hand that was covering the back of An Yelin's hand.
The car finally stopped in front of a club. Although An's Light Technology was hit hard by the stock sell-off and Mr. Fang suddenly canceled his engagement with An Yeyun, this birthday party for An Yeyun still maintained its appearance of respectability.
—Or maybe, it is just to let people see their decency and glamour.
The club was filled with celebrities and was decorated magnificently. Among them was even a famous new TV drama director. An Yelin said to Yi Wan as he passed by him, "This is the director of the movie 'The Dark Flower'."
The first thing they saw when they entered the club was An Yeyun, who was surrounded by people. Compared with An Yelin, who always had a rather cold and beautiful look, An Yeyun had a delicate face and clear eyes, and looked like a clean little rabbit.
After meeting that person's eyes, An Yelin's first reaction was to turn around and leave. Until he heard An Yeyun's surprised voice: "Yelin, you are also coming to my birthday party?"
He then took a deep breath and walked over quietly.
"I thought you wouldn't come. I feel like there are a lot of misunderstandings between us, Brother Yelin." After seeing An Yelin, An Yeyun smiled happily, "Is the person next to you your friend?"
"Yeah." Yi Wan answered unexpectedly quickly, "Ye Lin and I will go to his house to see the birthday party he prepared for you."
He said the four words "his home" calmly and clearly.
An Yeyun immediately lost his composure. He was a little embarrassed. At this moment, a servant came from outside: "Master Yelin, I heard you're back. Master asked you to go to the balcony."
An Yelin patted Yi Wan's shoulder, took a deep breath and said, "Go and play by yourself for a while, I'll be back soon."
Yi Wan hummed calmly and helped to choose the food. The birthday party carefully prepared by the An family was really luxurious, and the quality of the food was quite good.
He held the plate and looked at the screen in the hall. The screen was full of photos of An Yeyun, from when she was seven, to when she was ten, and then to when she was seventeen.
None of them belongs to An Yelin.
"You are Yelin's friend, right? He sometimes has a bad temper. I'm sorry you took care of him." An Yeyun came over from behind and said, "It's really a shame to leave you here alone... But he just has such a bad temper. Come on, I'll take you out to play."
He looked at Yi Wan, winked playfully and said, "This clubhouse that hosted the birthday party is where we settled down. I know there are many fun places in this hotel. There is also an exhibition hall upstairs, which contains all the family collections, calligraphy and paintings, sculptures... Is there anything you want to see?"
He casually mentioned the name of a treasure, and Yi Wan obviously showed a little interest.
An Yeyun saw this and a trace of contempt flashed through his heart. He didn't look down on Yi Wan, but he felt uncomfortable seeing that An Yelin actually had someone close to him.
Yi Wan looked at it and said, "Hmm... There are some things I want to see."
"What do you want to see?"
Yi Wan: "I also want to see photos of Yelin from childhood to adulthood, just like the ones on the screen. Does he have any at home?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on An Yeyun's face.
"No? That's strange. You sound like you know your brother's personality very well. I think you grew up together... You should know his life story very well." Yi Wan said, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said calmly, "Oh, I forgot. You don't seem to be his biological brother."
An Yeyun: …
Yi Wan said, "Let me check Baidu... Oh, Ye Lin has only been home for a year. You are his brother who was taken away by mistake, right? That's what the news said. But just now I thought you grew up in the same family."
An Yeyun's face turned red and white.
At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side of the hall.
When An Yelin saw the man in front of him on the balcony, he seemed to freeze.
"Yelin." The handsome and tall Mr. Fang, who smelled like cedar, looked at him and said with a wry smile, "If I don't do this, when will you be willing to answer my call?"
"Why are you here?"
"I told my uncle that the only person I want to marry is you. Yelin, when I was engaged to An Yeyun, I didn't know that the person who saved me was you." Young Master Fang's eyes were red and he bit his lips. "I admit that I did regard you as a substitute for An Yeyun at the beginning. Because your silhouette is so similar to his. It was not until now that I realized that you didn't resemble his silhouette, but the silhouette of the person who saved me that day, which belongs to you!"
"My father was plotting against me, right? He asked me to come here not to see me, but to give me to you." An Yelin was almost laughing out of anger. "I'm sorry, I don't have any feelings for you. I want to go back now."
As he said that, he shook off his hand and was about to walk away. At this moment, Fang Dashao stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and with red eyes, he tried to press him against the wall: "Linlin, come back, I will give my life to..."
An Yelin was struggling and trying to escape, but Young Master Fang was determined and no one could stop him from dying with red eyes!
Until a hand grabbed his arm.
"Young Master Fang."
"Who? Can't you see something's happening here?" Young Master Fang asked angrily.
"I'm sorry, no offense. I just want to remind you." The man's voice suddenly came from behind him, "There is no wall here, only a hanging railing. If you don't intend to kill someone."
Mr. Fang: …
As Master Fang loosened his fingers, An Yelin finally got rid of the fear of being pressed against the wall and dominated by the violent CEO who looked like a madman with red eyes. He shook him off and ran out.
After An Yelin ran out of the banquet hall, An's father, who was watching here, showed an extremely unhappy expression. The host wiped his sweat and came up and said, "There was a small accident just now. The birthday party will continue..."
An Yelin ran all the way to the toilet. He vigorously washed his sleeves that had been grabbed with water, gritting his teeth and cursing himself for still having fantasies about such a family.
What is he to them? A lost child who is not presentable and has not received a good education? A gift that can be given away at will
What was he to Young Master Fang and the others? They could summon him and dismiss him at will
He washed his sleeves for a long time, and finally squatted on the steps outside to enjoy the cool breeze, until someone came up to him and handed him a handkerchief.
Whether in his previous life or this life, Yi Wan was always there when he was in his most embarrassing moments.
"Are you sad?" he heard Yi Wan say.
An Yelin shook his head.
"If you are still angry, you can tell him that you also treat him as a stand-in." Yi Wan said seriously, "The double stand-in theme is also very popular now, and it is full of the refreshing feeling of going against the routine and slapping the face."
An Yelin: …
"He's an idiot." An Yelin cursed with gritted teeth, "He's..."
Yi Wan: "2b with a fir flavor."
An Yelin finally couldn't help laughing.
The cold wind dried the tears on his face. Yi Wan settled An Yelin down and went into the bathroom by himself.
He washed his hands carefully and slowly in front of the mirror until he heard footsteps outside the bathroom. At this moment, Yi Wan looked towards the mirror.
The light from the bathroom illuminated his pale face.
In the toilet, which was deserted and filled with the most gloomy atmosphere, the Painted Skin Ghost began to move restlessly again. It climbed up Yi Wan's ankles, and while Yi Wan was washing his hands with his head down, it gradually appeared behind Yi Wan.
Its bloody face and ferocious bloodshot eyes were reflected in the mirror. Yi Wan had no idea that the Painted Skin Ghost had already crawled out of his shadow and was hanging on the ceiling.
The evil ghost stretched out its claws. With red eyes and a mad look, it was about to fly down and stab Yi Wan's throat!
It wants Yi Wan to give it his life!
The bathroom was pushed open at this moment!
"Yi Wan, I should have known earlier that you are the one who stole his heart? What did you do behind his back? Stop pretending to be ignorant. I tell you, I can buy out AT business at any time..."
"What...water?"
Young Master Fang, whose face was dripped with some liquid, raised his head. The next moment, he, with red eyes and a mad look of love, and the other, with red eyes and a mad look of hatred, met each other's eyes.
The evil ghost shouted in a similarly crazy tone: "Give me your life!"
"ah!!"
A heart-wrenching scream came from the toilet, and Mr. Fang fainted at that moment.
At this moment, An Yelin opened the bathroom door again. He said coldly, "Mr. Fang, what are you crazy about..."
Then he saw Young Master Fang lying on the ground.
An Yelin:?
He looked up at Yi Wan, who also looked at the person on the ground blankly: "I don't know what's going on either."
The two of them gathered around Mr. Fang and studied him for a while. Finally, An Yelin said, "It's important to run away. I saw that Mr. Fu and Mr. Chen are here too."
"them… ?"
An Yelin didn't want to say anything more. He pulled Yi Wan and was about to leave. When he passed the hall, he paused as he looked at the lively scene inside. At this moment, Yi Wan said, "I forgot something in the toilet."
"I'll wait for you outside." An Yelin said.
Yi Wan returned to the bathroom alone. He looked at his pale self in the mirror, and smiled before the person in the mirror smiled at him.
"I know you want to act." He said softly to his own shadow, "I can agree to your request. But..."
"You need to do me a favor," he said. "Like..."
He placed his fingers on the glass.
"I really don't like the photos of An Yeyun on those big screens."
His skin was still fair and clear, without any blemishes.
