On the morning of October [-]st, Li Duoyang returned to Jiangyun from City B ostentatiously with the jade plaque of "Yangyang Deyi" and Pei Shiyi.

Just after getting off the plane, they met Assistant Shen and Li Huai's driver at the same time.

Those two stood apart from each other clearly, they obviously didn't know each other, but they exuded hostility towards each other.

Li Duoyang looked puzzled, his brother's driver stepped forward first, glanced at the young man beside him from the corner of his eye, and quickly smiled at him: "Duoyang, your brother is waiting for you in the car, let's go quickly. "

Li Duoyang nodded, just as the driver was about to pull him away, Pei Shiyi suddenly stepped forward.

The driver remembered what Boss Li had told him and what the other party had done in the past, and instantly became nervous, but before he could speak, Pei Shiyi stuffed the suitcase he was pulling into his hand: "It's troublesome."

driver:"……"

Li Duoyang said: "I almost forgot this box!"

The driver hehe said, "Let's go quickly..."

After getting into the car, Li Duoyang looked forward excitedly, but he didn't see his brother at all.

The driver coughed embarrassingly, and said: "Boss Li is still in the hotel, he is very busy there, he can't get out for a while, and said that if someone from the Pei family is there when picking you up, just like what he said just now, be careful." Beware."

Li Duoyang frowned: "..."

Sure enough, adultery was discovered!

The driver sent him to the hotel in the city center and left first.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the message from Li Huai, walked slowly into the elevator, and pushed the door open to the corresponding private room on the third floor.

Unexpectedly, he just took a step, and a bunch of things fell down. He quickly reached out to block them. They were all balloon sequin powder, which couldn't be stopped at all, and scattered all over him. At the same time, whistles and laughter suddenly came from inside. .

Li Duoyang raised his head in a daze, but it was a group of young people he didn't know at all, there were men and women, all of them were about the same age as him.

The people on the opposite side saw his face clearly, and were obviously dumbfounded: "Isn't it Xue Zhihai?"

He stood and brushed away the foreign objects around his eyes. He felt that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't think of it for a moment. He took a step back instinctively, looked up at the house number, and his face changed slightly.

…Before walking fast, he accidentally mistook the mantissa "1" for "7". When the group of people in the room came forward to ask, he said, "Sorry, I went wrong."

The person over there was also a little embarrassed, and wanted to wipe him with a towel, but he shook his head and left.

The urging phone in his hand rang again, Li Duoyang ignored the group of people talking and laughing at him, turned around and asked the waiter, and quickly found the private room where his family was.

In addition to parents, grandma, brother and uncle, there are two older mothers and stepfathers in the uncle's family.

The uncle's biological father was their grandfather's brother, who passed away due to a work accident when he was young. At that time, the uncle was still young, and the grandfather saw them as orphans and widowed mothers. He wanted to take Li Qingshan home to raise him with his children, but the younger siblings did not. Promised, insisted on raising the child while working, and after finally supporting Li Qingshan to go to university, he did something that many people didn't understand at the time - resigned from his iron job and went into business, but caught a few times to change his destiny. By chance, it was only later that I got the foundation to start a factory, basically running on both sides of the Jiangyunqing River.Now that I am older, the second husband I met after doing business also has relatives and friends who need to travel, and the only child related to the Li family is not around, so apart from the New Year and Qingming grave sweeping, the two families are not as connected as they were in the early years too much.

When Li Duoyang went to country A, he saw them frequently.

After all, he was of the same generation as his grandparents. After entering the door, Li Duoyang smiled and shouted to the three eldest: "Hello, grandma, hello, grandma Jiang, and hello, grandpa Chen."

"Yangyang is coming?" When everyone heard the sound, they all smiled and looked at him, but in the blink of an eye they stared at the shiny things on his head and face, full of doubts.

Li Duoyang brushed his hair mockingly, and briefly explained that he went to the wrong room.

"Look how sloppy you are!" Shen Huayun came over to help him clean up, joking with his relatives, "You scared Grandma Jiang, Grandpa Chen, and thought you wanted a big gift for making it like this!"

The two elders over there already liked this child, and said cheerfully: "If we really want a big gift, we can give it to you. Such a good grandson, what would you not give?" Looking at the old lady, "Sister-in-law is also blessed, The son and daughter-in-law are both so capable, the two grandsons are good-looking and sensible, and the eldest has a career now, and he is such a talented person, I want to kiss him!"

When Li Huai heard this, he nearly choked out the water he drank, and laughed quickly: "Thank you Grandma Jiang for your concern, I'm not in a hurry, I'd better wait until my uncle gets married first."

Li Qingshan who was cueed inexplicably: "???"

Over there, Shen Huayun was still picking off the stars on Li Duoyang's head, and couldn't help muttering: "What are they, let's wash them well when we go back."

Everyone's attention returned to Li Duoyang's shining face. Li Qingshan and his eldest nephew, who had cheated him, also went to look at it in order to avoid the elder's suggestion of getting married.

Li Qingshan: "Yangyang went to that room as if someone was having a birthday. Young people, it's normal, but what did you do on the door? If the waiter goes in, the result will be the same. It really messes with others, like this How will you entertain guests in a short time? I don’t know what to think.”

Li Duoyang's attention was all on the sequins on his body, he agreed, and kept pulling his neck back with both hands.Surrounded by a group of elders to help, after a while, the messy pile of sequins on the head and body became insignificant, but there was a small round red sequin stuck between the eyebrows, facing the sunlight outside the window, which set off Her already white skin became more moist, and her black and bright eyes blinked, as if there were two pools of clear water nestling in her, extremely beautiful.

Li Huai deliberately pretended not to see it, and Shen Huayun also suppressed a smile and did not reveal it.

As soon as Li Duoyang patted his clothes and sat down, he heard the grandma on the opposite side intentionally embarrass him and say, "Hey, who's birthday boy is this? He's so tall and big, and he even put a blush on his eyebrows. Are you ashamed?" ?” After speaking, he stood up with a big smile and squeezed that hooded face lovingly.

"Looking at it this way, it's still as painful as when I was a child!"

Everyone laughed.

He was stunned, and felt between his eyebrows for no reason, but before he touched it, his uncle had already stood up with a smile, and pulled him up nearby, saying that it was a rare reunion, and that he would have to leave in a while, so let's take a photo together first .

I called a waiter over and took pictures in a hurry, while the grandmothers on the side were still smiling and recording short videos with their mobile phones.

Li Duoyang stretched out his hand from time to time to remove the red spots between his eyebrows, but the sequins were so thin that he didn't feel anything to the touch. He didn't take them off until the photo was taken, and after he took a look, he blamed his brother: "You did it on purpose."

Li Huai chuckled: "You yourself are sloppy, you made a mess, and your brother helped you, and you still have to beat me up and blame you? It's really unreasonable."

"..."

Li Duoyang quickly turned into a quiet puffer fish. The more angry he was, the more Li Huai seemed to be in a mood to reply to the words of his elders. However, he didn't get angry for long, and he served one after another delicious dishes, especially after the main hard dishes. , Li Duoyang smiled slightly, seeing his brother poured himself a glass of fruit wine that smelled delicious, he stopped thinking about it at all, and raised his own fruit wine to toast everyone.

The room was very lively.

After the meal, the elders drank tea and sat down, chatting about the affairs of the younger generation.

Li Duoyang took the wet towel and started to wipe his neck. Although he cleaned the debris before, there should still be some small things sticking to it, and he felt very uncomfortable when he cared about it.

Seeing that he kept wiping, Li Huai asked for a towel to wash on the sink, and came back to help him wipe.

There are two chains hanging around Li Duoyang's neck, one is a bead chain and the other is a common rope chain.Li Huai had seen the former before. It was worn around his neck by his brother when he was a teenager. He thought it was the one given by his grandmother when he was in the third year of junior high school. He did not doubt it. He just stretched out his finger and pulled another brand new rope Take it out and look carefully.

As soon as the jade tablet saw the light, Li Duoyang immediately raised his hand to hold it, and then glanced at him nervously from the corner of the eye.

Li Huai smiled: "Show me."

Li Duoyang whispered, "It's nothing to see, it's about the same as yours."

Shen Huayun saw that they were rubbing the chips into pieces, so he went straight over and took the wet towel from the eldest son's hand: "I'll wipe it." His hands moved quickly, and in a few strokes, Li Duoyang's neck was stained with fine chips. The place is wiped clean and comfortable.

Li Duoyang turned his face away and said with a smile: "Mom, you are awesome."

Unexpectedly, not only failed to change the subject by flattery, Shen Huayun stretched out his hand and took the jade plaque he was holding: "It's really pretty, Yangyang Ruyi? Yangyang and our yangyang have exactly the same sound, so it fits well." Yes, you couldn’t choose that day because you wanted something like this?”

Li Duoyang hummed vaguely.

Li Huai looked down at the jade tablet, his expression froze, as if he was thinking about something.

Grandma Jiang's eyes were sharp, and she felt that the jade card was of good quality. She was interested in things like jade. The position of the wishful cloud, after all, is a cloud, and generally speaking, it would be carved on the top, but even though the wishful cloud above is on the top, it is too close to the sheep, as if a part of it is almost on its body... I think Now, it would be more appropriate to call it triumphant!"

Shen Huayun only felt that she was joking: "Generally speaking, the meanings are based on wishful and auspicious, how can there be any meanings that are proud?"

Grandma Jiang shook her head: "Then I don't know, but you are right, maybe this piece is carved like this, anyway, it just looks good on it."

Li Duoyang rolled his eyes and glanced at his brother.

Li Huai had already sat down again, looking at the jade plaque on his neck, smiling without saying a word.

The sharpness in his eyes could not be concealed.

Li Duoyang: "..."

Half an hour later, the two families separated at the entrance of the hotel, and Li Duoyang got into Li Dongcheng's car immediately.

Li Huai's car was at the back, he opened the door and went in, and came out after a while for some unknown reason, stepped forward and said to Li Dongcheng who was in the front driver's seat, "Dad, I have something to do in the afternoon, I'll go back in the evening."

Li Dongcheng frowned: "I still have to work on the National Day? Xiaohuai, not only you, but also the employees should have a good rest!"

"I've encountered a little trouble." Li Huai glanced at the back seat with a complicated and unspeakable expression, "I'll see someone alone, otherwise it will be a disaster if we procrastinate."

When Li Dongcheng heard this, he thought he had encountered some difficult client, and he understood: "It's really important, then you should hurry up and get back to rest!"

Li Duoyang's heart was in a state of ups and downs. For a while, he felt that he might be thinking too much, and for a while he felt that his brother's eyes were clearly about to do something, and he couldn't sit still in the back seat.

While thinking wildly, Li Dongcheng, who was about to drive forward, stopped.

A group of youthful and beautiful young men and women came out in groups from the entrance of the hotel, and a young man with red hair behind him was swiping his mobile phone, walking slowly, and the people in front shouted: "Xue Zhihai, hurry up! "

This name brought Li Duoyang back to his senses.

The red hair just walked to the front of the car, and glanced into the car intentionally or unintentionally. After seeing Li Dongcheng who was driving, he paused, then ran to the crowd in front with a smile, but looked at the rear window .

The car window next to Li Duoyang was open, and he also turned his face to look over.

This time, he saw the opponent's face clearly.

The red-haired young man stared at him dumbfounded, then came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, and waved his hand at him, showing a meaningful smile.

Shen Huayun, the co-pilot, turned around and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Li Duoyang thought for a while, and said, "I've met ordinary alumni a few times."

Shen Huayun said oh and didn't ask any more questions, and turned on soothing music.

Li Duoyang felt that this was strange.

If he hadn't seen that face, he wouldn't even be able to remember who Xue Zhihai was for a while. Both of them just stayed in the high school of Jiang Yun's aristocratic middle school, and Li Duoyang didn't even stay for a year. He just left, and he was not in the same class as that person, but after meeting him in the game, he figured out that he was Xiao Xue, one of his friends in the original book, and his father was Pei Youping's special assistant, who would more or less monitor Pei Shiyi's movements at school.After Pei Shiyi first came into contact with this person, he was extremely wary of him.

That's it.

The earth-shaking changes in the situation of the Pei family father and son in the past two years also shows that Pei Youping has not been able to use this Xue Zhihai to do anything.

Times have changed, National Day is on holiday, and the probability of meeting former alumni and classmates in the same city is not small, so there is no need to worry about it at all, but Li Duoyang was thinking about it until he returned home.

Especially the other party's smile, he always felt weird and couldn't help it.

If the two became acquainted like in the original book, it would be normal for them to say hello and smile when they meet again, but the problem is that since he transmigrated, he has never had much contact with this person at all. Chen Lun played together, and the other party was a classmate in Chen Lun's class. When there was a lack of people, Li Duoyang almost didn't take the initiative to say a few words to him.

After arriving home, Li Duoyang put the matter aside, and quickly took a change of clothes to the bathroom to take a shower.

It's too uncomfortable.

After washing it carefully, he felt completely comfortable after the foreign body sensation on his skin disappeared.

It was still bright outside, and his parents and grandma went to take a nap. Li Duoyang nestled in the beanbag sofa in the bedroom, took out his phone and started replying to Pei Shiyi's messages.

Not long ago, the other party asked him if he was home.

He seemed to know his concerns and didn't call directly.

Satisfied, full of laziness, Li Duoyang didn't want to type, so he shook his feet and lazily replied: "I'm back, we just finished eating, how about you?"

Soon I received a message from the other party: "Me too, but I'm outside now."

It is more normal to play outside during the holidays, but the sun is scorching hot, he is too lazy to go out, the other hand picks up the game console on the side, and lays down on the sofa to play for a while, thinking that he has not returned to the other party just now message, and quickly sent another voice over: "Then you have fun, my brother is not at home, I have to take advantage of the time to do something bad... Play games for a while, the newly bought cassette is said to be banned by eighteen, it is exciting gone."

Pei Shiyi was a little abnormal today, and it took him a long time to reply "Yes".

Li Duoyang didn't play the exciting game that he bought for a long time, because he found that the so-called [-]-ban game was just a picture of a few beautiful men with shirtless shirts and tongue/kissing. The screen was much more exciting and profound. After playing for less than an hour, I felt very boring. My eyelids drooped a few times staring at the screen. Not long after, I fell asleep while lying on the sofa with the game console.

On the other side, in the quiet and elegant tea room, the tea is thick and thick.

"Then you have fun, my brother is not at home, I have to take advantage of it now... Play games for a while, the newly bought cassette, it is said that it is banned by eighteen, it is very exciting."

Li Huai's eyes were like knives, and his hands were clenched into fists. It took him a while to look away from the phone that heard his brother's voice from the opposite side, and looked up with a cold light: "Pei Shiyi, you are quite capable."

Pei Shiyi looked at the phone, still lost in Li Duoyang's words, heard the sound, raised his head and looked straight at the other party, but there was no embarrassment on his face that Li Huai heard the voice because he accidentally clicked on the voice, he shook his hand Tightening the phone, he said lightly, "Really? It's not enough yet."

Li Huai: "..." Putting down the teacup, there was a heavy knock on the table.

The atmosphere was tense in an instant, and the boss not far away was watching this side vigilantly, for fear that if someone didn't pay attention, the two would fight, and it would be terrible to make news.

Li Huai's face had already sunk down, but Pei Shiyi seemed to be unable to see his anger at all, and continued: "What you said two years ago, I now think it is very reasonable. Although my father is no longer in the country, he is still there. Bian can't sit still, which made me think for a long time before I came up with a way to calm him down. There are still some things to be resolved at the moment, and it's really not a good time for a formal engagement banquet. Then I'll wait until I graduate. Officially taking over the Pei family, everything is under control, and the wedding will be held at that time, what do you think?"

"...Don't you fucking understand human language?!" Li Huai swears uncommonly, the veins on his forehead stand out, "You're really delusional, getting married? You're probably sick again!"

Also, this is the first time in his life that he has heard that it is called appeasement to send someone to the hospital...

He had already heard about Pei Youping's stay in country M this morning. It seemed that he was going to take advantage of the long vacation to return to China, and he had said a lot of good things to the old man, but before he got a reply, he was beaten up by a foreigner on the way to the airport. He said that the other party hooked up with his wife and made him sick... Pei Youping was so angry that he said that the other party had joined forces to dance with immortals. This matter was messy and absurd. They're all gossiping, and they're in the hospital, so they won't be able to return to China for a while.

Over the years, Li Huai has been following the movements of the Pei family, especially Pei Youping, who was arranged by Mr. Pei to country M to go to overseas markets, but anyone who knows something in the industry knows that this is the exile of abandoned children.At that time, he only thought that it was because the old man couldn't stand what his son did, so he finally figured it out. Hearing Pei Shiyi's words now, he was sure that Pei Youping's misfortune over the years had nothing to do with this person in front of him.

It is really a kind father and a filial son.

After he got angry, Pei Shiyi's expression remained the same, his manner was polite, but he still said to himself: "I'm not sick, I'm all normal now. You said two years ago, let me at least solve the mess at home, now I can guarantee that what happened two years ago will never happen again, and no one can stop what I want to do."

"How dare you mention two years ago..."

"Don't mention two years ago, it's okay to mention it from the day Yangyang and I met."

"..."

Li Huai's chest heaved violently, wishing he could punch him directly, it would be best if he could no longer speak!

The last time he was so angry was the day his younger brother drank for the first time, Li Duoyang sat on the sofa half drunk, saying that he had grown up and could solve the problem by himself.

In the tense atmosphere, no one made a move.

There was silence on both sides of the table.

When the boss was afraid of accidents, he came over to serve snacks with a smile on his face, Li Huai finally regained his composure, stood up with a cold face and said, "My younger brother can be with anyone, except your Pei family."

Pei Shiyi's movements of making tea froze. At a certain moment, the young man's eyes overflowed with great hostility. Just when the boss thought he was about to make a move, he continued to make tea, and said with a smile, "Except for Li Duoyang, no one in this world can make me leave him."

In the evening, Li Huai returned home exhausted.

Opening the door, Li Dongcheng and Shen Huayun were cutting watermelons, and grandma knocked on the door of Li Duoyang's bedroom: "Why are you still awake? Don't sleep, if you sleep again, you won't be able to sleep at night!"

There was no movement, and he said again: "Eat watermelon! If you don't come again, you will finish eating!"

Li Huai had just changed his shoes when he heard the door open with a "squeak". Li Duoyang ran to the tea table with his sleepy hair, took a piece of iced watermelon and put it in his mouth. Seeing him back, his eyes widened. Stare round, then slightly bent: "Brother, I left you a big one!"

Li Huai looked at him quietly for a few seconds.

Li Duoyang felt inexplicably sad in that look, and touched his face curiously: "What's wrong?"

Li Huai turned his gaze: "I'm going to wash my hands, you can eat first."

But after washing his hands, my brother went back to the bedroom and didn't come out for a long time.

Shen Huayun asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Dongcheng: "I'm too tired from work, just let him have a good rest."

The old lady: "It's really not easy, my lord!"

Li Duoyang put down the watermelon he had eaten a few mouthfuls, took a large piece of cold watermelon over, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice was weak, not the usual style at all.

Li Duoyang pushed the door open and went in, and saw Li Huai sitting motionless at the desk, as if thinking about something.

The man's hair was wet. He should have just taken a shower and changed into pajamas. When he walked over, the man looked at him with a tired face.

"Brother, eat watermelon," Li Duoyang said in a low voice, "it won't taste good if you keep it in."

The other party reached out and took the watermelon he handed over.

Li Duoyang saw him start to eat, and turned to go out.

"good boy."

Li Duoyang looked back at him.

Li Huai looked at his younger brother: "Are there any new games released recently?"

Li Duoyang saw that he seemed to be tired from work and was looking for relaxation, so he got up all of a sudden: "Do you want to play a game?"

Li Huai paused and hummed.

Li Duoyang: "Just wait for me."

In less than 3 minutes, Li Duoyang brought in his game console and a bunch of game cards that his brother had never played before, and introduced the games he thought were most interesting one by one.

Li Huai's eyes fell on the conspicuous Eighteen Forbidden Game.

Embarrassment flashed across Li Duoyang's eyes, but he seriously introduced the gameplay of this game, and then complained: "It's not fun at all."

Li Huai smiled on the surface: "Isn't it exciting? Do you need to play behind someone's back?"

Li Duoyang: "..."

Why do you think this is weird.

Li Huai looked up at him.

Li Duoyang had no choice but to scratch his head and said, "It's not exciting at all, but you'd better play it behind your back, or you'd be ashamed if those lines were seen by others."

Li Huai: "..."

Li Duoyang said curiously: "Brother, you actually like this kind of game!"

After finishing speaking, the other party's face turned black visibly, like the bottom of a pot.

Li Duoyang: "If you like it, you like it. What's the matter? I'm afraid my parents will say it, so I just play behind their backs..."

Li Huai was stunned.

Li Duoyang continued: "Actually, there are a few more exciting ones, but I didn't buy them at the time, since you like them..."

"All right."

"Okay? Then I'll place an order..."

"..."

Li Huai seemed to be really exhausted. He leaned back slightly with his slender body, sighed slowly, and finally glanced at the jade plaque on his neck, gritted his teeth: "You'd better go and eat your watermelon."
