When they returned in the afternoon, they were still speechless.

Xu Muzhe used motion sickness as an excuse and sat in the passenger seat so that he could observe Ji Chenyan from a closer distance.

He glanced at Ji Chenyan's hands on the steering wheel, and the joints seemed to be more red and swollen than in the morning.

"You went boxing again?"

Ji Chenyan didn't answer, and even turned up the music in the car.

It was clear that he refused to communicate with Xu Muzhe.

"System, has the blackening value increased?"

The system checked: [No, if it went up or down, it would be displayed here.]

Xu Muzhe looked at Ji Chenyan's cold profile again, pursed his lips, and reached out to turn off the music in the car.

Ji Chenyan frowned, turned his head to look at him, but said nothing and continued to look forward.

"Did I say something to upset you?"

"No." Ji Chenyan said indifferently: "Young Master, you think too much."

"Then why don't you want to talk to me?"

Ji Chenyan curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"I am only working for you. I am not selling myself to your Xu family. It seems unnecessary to report my private life to you one by one."

"Did my question just now offend you?"

Ji Chenyan answered him with silence.

Xu Muzhe looked away, looked out the window, and whispered, "Sorry, I won't ask about it anymore."

Ji Chenyan gripped the steering wheel tightly. He was obviously the one who got angry first, but now he was also the one who felt upset.

I'm so annoying.

I kind of regret applying for the job of Xu Muzhe's bodyguard.

If I had known earlier, I would have infiltrated the Xu Group and brought down the Xu family before taking revenge on Xu Muzhe.

After returning to the Xu family's old house, Ji Chenyan still looked cold after carrying Xu Muzhe down.

"I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up from school tomorrow."

Xu Muzhe suddenly grabbed Ji Chenyan's hand and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, there will be no classes."

Ji Chenyan's face changed for a moment, then he regained his composure.

"See you next Monday then."

"You're not a driver, you're a bodyguard. I want to go out for a walk tomorrow, you'll accompany me, right?"

Xu Muzhe's palms were a little cold, in stark contrast to Ji Chenyan's warmth.

Ji Chenyan's eyes fell on Xu Muzhe's hand.

Is it true that people without hearts have relatively lower body temperatures?

No matter how passionate he was in his previous life, he could never warm Xu Muzhe's heart.

A hint of sadness flashed across Ji Chenyan's eyes, and he pulled his hand away abruptly.

"I heard that you were in danger just now, and you finally recovered and were discharged from the hospital. I suggest that you stay at home. Your father has offended many people outside. They can't touch your father, but it doesn't mean they dare not deal with you."

"But you will protect me, right?"

Ji Chenyan lowered his head slightly, his eyes were so deep that one could not see the bottom, as if they were covered with a thick layer of frost, refusing anyone to approach.

"I am also a human being and I am afraid of death. Why would I let you do it when I knew it was dangerous?"

"Besides you, I can't find anyone to accompany me. They all think I'm troublesome." Xu Muzhe smiled and pounded his legs helplessly. "I can't stand up. If no one helps me, I can't go very far."

Although Xu Muzhe said this in a very relaxed tone, it still hurt Ji Chenyan's heart.

He avoided Xu Muzhe's gaze, not wanting his emotions to be seen.

"Forget it, I'm just an employee, I'm not in a position to refuse so many things, what time tomorrow?"

Xu Muzhe curved his eyebrows and said cheerfully, "It won't be too early, you can sleep in. I'll call you when I'm almost out tomorrow."

Ji Chenyan raised his chin.

"Got it. Let's go in quickly. It's windy here."

After Xu Muzhe completely disappeared from his sight, Ji Chenyan took out the cigarettes from his pocket irritably, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

The smoke rings he exhaled hid the confusion on his face.

Is he pretending or is he serious?

To be honest, he was a little confused about Xu Muzhe.

They had been together for so long in their previous life, but now that he thought about it carefully, he didn't understand this lover at all.

Maybe he has never entered the other person's heart, and all his love is just to relieve loneliness.

Ji Chenyan put out his cigarette and laughed at himself.

After all, he loved the wrong person.

During dinner, Xu Muzhe was the only one eating.

Xu's father was still working overtime in the company, but Xu Yixuan stayed in the room and didn't come out all day.

He watched the servant leave with the tray, and did not ask if it was for Xu Yixuan, and continued to pretend to be unaware.

After he finished eating and returned to his room, the servant who came to massage his legs was a new face.

"Where is the one who gave me a massage yesterday?" Xu Muzhe asked curiously.

The servant massaged his calf and replied, "It seems that he offended the young master and was kicked out last night."

Have you offended Xu Yixuan?

Didn’t Xu Yixuan just get punished? How could he still have the energy to manage the servants?

Xu Muzhe was very curious, but not curious enough to ask further questions. He just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

He didn't sleep well that night because Xiao Zhi was angry with him and he didn't know how to solve it.

In his previous life, he was indeed unfair to Xiao Zhi, and he was also a scumbag. Not only did he cheat on someone, he also took the other person's life.

He was lucky enough that Ji Chenyan didn't kill him out of spite.

I hope tomorrow's date can ease their relationship a little.

Xu Muzhe kept thinking about Ji Chenyan and fell asleep only when it was almost dawn.

When he woke up, it was already twelve o'clock noon.

He quickly washed up, picked out the best-looking clothes in the closet, and called the servant to help him change.

When he came out of the room, he happened to meet Xu Yixuan who also came out.

Xu Yixuan looked at him coldly and asked, "Want to go out?"

"Well, I want to go out and relax."

Xu Muzhe never expected to meet Xu Yixuan, and thought that Xu Yixuan would need a long time to recover from his injury.

Looks like he's got thick skin and tough flesh.

No wonder the old fox was willing to be so cruel.

"Going out with your bodyguard?"

Xu Muzhe found this sentence a bit strange, raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yixuan, "Yes, he has to protect my safety."

I thought Xu Yixuan would ask more questions, but the next second, he just nodded.

"Well, go early and come back early, don't stay too late."
