"Why do you say that?" Xu Muzhe asked back with a puzzled look, "Have you done something unspeakable?"

Ji Chenyan's face was visibly red. He avoided their gazes and stammered, "Nonsense, I don't have any."

Xu Muzhe smiled with curved lips, "Then why are you so afraid that I'm not asleep?"

"You..." Ji Chenyan suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Xu Muzhe. He was so angry that he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

I guess no one noticed that he kissed me secretly.

Maybe he was overthinking it.

"Okay, I offended you with my random thoughts. I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. I have indeed been a little distant from you recently." Xu Muzhe put away his smile and said seriously.

Ji Chenyan was stunned, "Why?"

"Next time, don't barge into my room without saying hello." Xu Muzhe leaned forward and lowered his voice, "There are too many people here. If someone talks nonsense in front of my dad, it will be troublesome."

Ji Chenyan's breathing paused for a moment, and he looked at Xu Muzhe with a strange look.

I'm actually worried about this.

In his previous life, Xu Muzhe didn’t care about these things at all, and it didn’t matter whether he was discovered or not.

If Ji Chenyan hadn't been worried that the mission would go wrong and tried hard to persuade Xu Muzhe to have a secret relationship, Xu Muzhe might have directly brought their relationship to the table.

Why are you suddenly so cautious? Has something happened to you?

Ji Chenyan didn't want to ask directly, so he planned to find out the answer slowly on his own.

He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Muzhe's legs, "What are the results of the examination?"

Xu Muzhe shook his head, "Not very good, I may have to sit in a wheelchair forever."

Ji Chenyan's eyelashes trembled, his eyes flashed, and he clenched his fists silently.

"But it's okay." Xu Muzhe tilted his head and showed a nonchalant smile, "I'm used to sitting in a wheelchair. No one forces me to exercise, and I can get help from kind people when I go out. Except for Dad's competitors, no one wants to bully me. How great is that."

Ji Chenyan's heart suddenly ached. He lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes concealed the emotions in his eyes.

"As long as you feel happy." Ji Chenyan said in a sullen tone.

Xu Muzhe saw that he was in a bad mood, so he took his hand and gently squeezed it.

"Go back, don't climb the window again, call me if you have anything."

Ji Chenyan let him hold his hand, and after a long time, he asked softly.

"Can you live more realistically?"

Can we live without wearing a mask?

All joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are expressed.

Unfortunately, Xu Muzhe remained silent. Ji Chenyan thought he would not get a satisfactory answer, so he angrily pulled his hand back.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business." Ji Chenyan put his hands in his pockets and regained his indifferent expression. "I'll remember that I won't barge into your place casually next time."

After Ji Chenyan left, Xu Muzhe sighed, exhausted both physically and mentally, and went to bed early.

At the same time, in Xu Yixuan's bedroom.

The housekeeper was standing beside him, bending slightly, "Master, he just went to the young master's room again."

Xu Yixuan was typing on his laptop, but he stopped typing after hearing the housekeeper's words.

"How long?"

"Less than twenty minutes."

Xu Yixuan's frown immediately relaxed, and after saying "hmm" softly, he continued typing on the keyboard.

"Do you want me to find someone to talk to him?" asked the butler.

The so-called "talk" is a warning.

Especially those with this kind of family background, how could they allow a poor boy who came out of nowhere to do whatever he wanted among them.

"No need, it's not the right time yet." Xu Yixuan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, his face stern, as if he was talking about something insignificant, "Do you think they are serious?"

The butler was not sure how to answer this question, so he said carefully: "The young master shouldn't be that naive."

"Isn't he naive?" He closed his notebook after hearing this. "You also know what my father and I have done over the years, and he still doesn't have the slightest suspicion. Rather than being naive, it's better to say he's stupid."

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the young master has to believe it?"

"what?"

"You are the only ones around him. If he doesn't even trust you, he really has nowhere to go."

Xu Yixuan took off his glasses, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"So that's why?" Xu Yixuan murmured to himself, "Just because we are his only relatives."

The housekeeper looked at Xu Yixuan's profile and asked tentatively, "Are you really going to help the young master? Are you sure you don't want to tell the master about their affairs?"

"I'm not helping him, I'm just a little tired." Xu Yixuan said: "Sometimes I wonder if my mother would not recognize me as her son if she were still alive."

Xu's mother is so kind. If she knew that he hurt an innocent person like this, she would probably be disappointed in him.

"Master, don't think like that. You have your own reasons."

Xu Yixuan shook his head. "There are not so many difficulties. I have considered the pros and cons before doing so many things."

The butler didn't know what to say at all.

"Don't worry about them, and don't let the news out." Xu Yixuan said: "It all depends on his own choice. Let's see if he will give up everything he has now for an inexplicable man."

The butler lowered his head and was about to leave.

"Wait." Xu Yixuan suddenly called him.

"Master, please give your orders."

Xu Yixuan tapped the table with his slender fingers but was slow to give any orders.

The butler was not in a hurry and waited with his head slightly lowered.

"Tell some people to embarrass Ji Chenyan's father." Xu Yixuan emphasized, "Remember, you must inadvertently reveal that it was my father who ordered it."

"understood."

After the housekeeper left, Xu Yixuan couldn't sleep, so he got up and left the room.

Xu Muzhe's room was very close to him, so he walked over and put his hand on the door handle.

I thought it was locked, but it opened with a slight twist.

A hint of coldness flashed across Xu Yixuan's brows.

I still don’t know how to protect myself and don’t even know how to lock the door.

After Xu Yixuan walked in, he sat down beside the bed and looked down at Xu Muzhe's face.

Thinking back to when he was a child, the nanny would abuse Xu Muzhe every now and then according to the orders of Xu's father.

At that time, Xu Muzhe was afraid of everyone except him.

Even every night, she would hold a pillow and cry at the door of his bedroom, wanting him to coax her to sleep.

Xu Yixuan had no idea what his father had done, and he tried his best to pamper Xu Muzhe.

Thinking of the past, Xu Yixuan's brows softened.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Xu Muzhe's face with his fingertips.

"When did you grow so big?" Xu Yixuan said softly, "Back then you were just a little ball of milk."

Not only did he change, but Xu Muzhe also changed.

Become less dependent on him.

Xu Yixuan put his hand away and lowered the corners of his mouth.

"You shouldn't be alive." Xu Yixuan seemed to be convincing himself, saying word by word: "I should also hate you... This is the right thing to do."
