Chu prisoner
Chapter 34
Because He Chulin pleaded for He Xin before going to bed, and for the next two days, Ruan Yi was the one who picked up He Xin, and let He Xin stay by his side for every big and small matter.
He Chu vaguely guessed that Ruan Yi wanted to train He Xin, and he didn't know how far the conversation between their father and son had progressed. He didn't worry much because he was busy with his own affairs.
September is the beginning of the school season, and his teacher wanted him to participate in the interview as a student. He Chu felt that his hands could not recover to their original appearance, and his age was beyond the standard. He thought it would be more appropriate to interview for a teaching assistant.
The requirements are not high. I usually guide the students, and I can follow the class, and then take it step by step.
The salary of this job is not high, and there are a lot of trivial chores, there is no competition, and there is He Chu's teacher, so there is no problem.
But He Chu couldn't walk through this back door with peace of mind, and had been preparing for his interview seriously and nervously.
He didn't tell Ruan Yi about these things, he thought, at least let Ruan Yi see his hands.
The day before He Xin's birthday, He Chu followed his teacher around where he might work. His teacher kept saying that He Chu looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is more confident.
Regarding the matter of going to school, He Chu didn't have a chance before, but Ruan Yi gave him a hope, and after all the calculations, he didn't lose anything, so he didn't have much regret in his heart.
It was his teacher who kept praising him and leading him to the auditorium to watch the orchestra that stayed at school during the summer vacation to prepare to perform.
He Chu's face is small and pale, and he can't tell his age very much. When he went to observe with the teacher, he was regarded as a beautiful new student, and Alpha's pheromones were ready to move.
The pheromone charm of the marked Omega to Alpha is greatly reduced, but it will not affect the visual attraction in the first place.
He Chu's teacher was a Beta who couldn't capture the changing pheromones in the air, but he could feel a few young and energetic boys looking at He Chu with bright eyes.
He Chu frowned and touched the back of his neck. It might be because the weather was hot and the air was not circulating in the air-conditioned auditorium. Omega and Alpha pheromones were mixed together, making people uncomfortable.
When an Alpha came over to say hello to them, the smell of pheromone became very strong, and He Chu's nerves trembled, and he arched his back and retched.
After the scene was quiet, He Chu's blood poured down his face, and the back of his snow-white neck turned red, and he immediately apologized embarrassingly.
Thinking that he was suffering from heat stroke, they left quickly. He Chu didn't bother the teacher to send him again, and went to the hospital by himself.
After the examination, everything was normal, there was no fever or heatstroke, and the doctor said he was fine.
Seeing that this young Omega has no experience at all, the doctor reminded him: "You have an Alpha, right?"
Seeing that He Chu nodded, the doctor said, "Then you register again and find another doctor to give you a pregnancy test order. What you said seems to be early pregnancy."
He Chu calmly agreed, and when he walked out of the consulting room, he was still thinking, how could it be possible.
However, I obediently went to do a check.
While waiting for the doctor to see the results, He Chu sent a text message to Ruan Yi with his mobile phone, edited it several times and deleted it, feeling inexplicably panicked.
The doctor took a look at his pregnancy test form, prescribed a new test for him, and asked him to go for an ultrasound diagnosis.
He Chu became more and more nervous. When he was lying down for the nurse to examine, his heart beat faster in his chest. When the cool gel was applied to his stomach, his chest stagnated.
"Don't be nervous." The nurse wearing a mask smiled and looked at his blushing face, "Is this the first time you have this kind of checkup? I will do it more often in the future, so I can see the baby clearly."
He Chu let go of the fingers that had been clutching the hem of his clothes all the time, with a shy and confused expression on his face, and he was even more embarrassed to say that he already had a child, so he didn't know anything.
When the examination report was typed out, He Chu could understand it without asking the doctor, but he seemed to be unable to understand it, sitting on the iron chair in the hospital, frowning in confusion.
After a while, he called Fang Yuen.
Fang Yuen's voice was still so energetic. When he picked up the phone, he first asked He Chu a bunch of news that he had seen during this period. Fang Yuen didn't ask much about some things that were inconvenient to disclose before.
Looking at the news for the past two days, it seemed that the hustle and bustle had settled down after the war. He couldn't wait to satisfy his curiosity. After He Chu answered them one by one, he asked the last question weakly: "The news said that you Is it true that the second brother earned 18 billion in one night?"
He Chu said "Yes".
Fang Yuen was silent for a while, and muttered: "You are too calm...that's right, what's his is yours..."
He Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could speak, Fang Yuen changed the subject: "Hey, Ah Chu, what do you want from me?"
He Chu made him ask so much that he almost forgot his business, looked down at the checklist in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Yuen, is the medicine you gave me not effective?"
"Huh? What medicine? Are you sick?"
After He Chu explained in a murmur like a mosquito, Fang Yuen made a promise over there, and said, "How is it possible, don't worry, it is specially prepared for emergency medication for Omega in estrus, 100% contraceptive, it works both before and after ,you do not need to worry."
He Chu frowned while looking at the checklist showing that she was five weeks pregnant, and fell silent.
Fang Yuen called him, and said hesitantly, "Well, one situation is not ruled out."
"what?"
"It's your Alpha who has a dark heart and changed the medicine for you."
Ruan Yi is not too busy these two days, and there are many things that don't require him to come forward, but because Ruan Shichang has returned to China, the Ruan family, no, the former Ruan family held an emergency shareholders meeting.
In the proposal to dismiss Ruan Yi announced by the independent director established by Ruan Shichang, it was clearly stated that "Ruan Yi's position as a director still needs to be approved by the shareholders' meeting." Ruan Yi's shares, and then the almost brilliant prosperity before the avalanche.
At the shareholder meeting requested by Ruan Shichang, the long conference table and the front seat were empty from the beginning.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, many media were squatting under the commercial building, and the long light strips were lined up tens of meters.
Ruan Yi received He Xin who had finished his painting class, and his car appeared on time at the center of media attention.
There were four cars in total, and the media didn't know which one the "heir to revenge" of the Ruan family was sitting in. When the car drove into the underground garage, the flashing lights were still flashing wildly at the car's taillights.
The car was parked in a quiet parking lot, and a well-trained bodyguard stood up and held the door.
In the car, Ruan Yi unfastened He Xin's seat belt and asked, "Do you want me to hug you, or go by yourself?"
He Xin took his hand and got out of the car, "Dad, what are we doing here?"
"A meeting." Ruan Yi squeezed his little hand, "You play for a while, and I will pick you up later."
Ruan Yi brought He Xin to the former office, put He Xin's toys on the carpet where he played indoor golf before, projected a cartoon on the wall, and left all the bodyguards inside and outside the house. Time to rub his hair.
Seeing Ruan Yi standing up in He Xin's immature eyes, he casually straightened his tie with one hand, his eyes still dull.
The door of the meeting room was suddenly opened, and six people came in. The leader was known to many people present.
As always, Ruan Yi acted as if no one was around, and sat in his seat. The light layer of green stubble on his scalp made him look more arrogant and noble than before, and he was a little more vigorous and sharp. He nodded to everyone as a greeting.
This used to be the first-level conference hall of the Ruan family. After Ruan Shichang was in a semi-retired state, Ruan Yi sat in this position all the time. Later, Ruan Shichang came back and drove away Ruan Yi with his independent board of directors.
In the past 50 hours or so, Ruan Shichang faced the evaporated and diluted assets of the group, but at the moment he was too angry to speak out, or he was only afraid.
For the next half an hour, he didn't say a word, and it was the manager of the Ruan family who spoke.
Now the Ruan family wants to keep the last heavy industry company, and hopes that shareholders can contribute capital to escape the fate of being acquired and reshuffled.
Ruan Yi came here today just to listen, and would give Ruan Shichang half an hour, and then he would not do anything.
When the time was about to pass, he expressed his own opinion, and Ruan Shichang heard only eight words: "If you don't save yourself, you will be thrown into trouble."
Shareholders are acting on the basis of the wind, and reshuffle has mixed advantages and disadvantages for them, but Ruan Yi's sharpness and ability make Ruan look like he is lingering in front of him. No one knows what this lonely wolf-like Alpha is He left something behind and gave it to his father.
The outcome of the final meeting was within everyone's expectations.
Shareholders left one after another, and they would bring out the results of this meeting. It didn't matter whether Ruan Shichang appeared in front of the media or not. Everyone would know that Ruan Shi completed the "fall" in the media's mouth in just two days.
The group is still the same group, its industries still span various fields, and its assets still dominate one side, but the top layer is no longer the family.
Unbearable, Ruan Shichang and his family chased after Ruan Yi.
He just wanted to talk to Ruan Yi alone, and the others followed. If it was before, Ruan Shichang would still be afraid of Ruan Yi and try not to let them meet.
But he has taken care of Ruan Yi's emotions for decades, understands his resentment and resentment, and rarely cares about Ruan Yi's presumptuousness and tit-for-tat confrontation.
Ruan Shichang called to stop Ruan Yi. Unexpectedly, Ruan Yi was willing to be indifferent to him, and he didn't look at the group of people behind him.
He's triumphant now, and even more defiantly.
Their father and son have completely turned against each other, and they don't even bother to maintain the last appearance. They are shrewd and calculating businessmen. Damn, your mother has guarded her all her life, and now you are handing over to others, does she know?"
Ruan wanted to hear what Ruan Shichang could say, but every time he got an accident, the silent tyranny of his body seemed to be resurrected, making him look at Ruan Shichang like a knife in his eyes: "Who said I to give away."
The big guy who wants to buy here is Polestar who just crushed the Ruan family not long ago. Ruan Shichang guessed it without Ruan Yi saying anything.
At this moment, when he met Ruan Yi's cold gaze, he seemed to suddenly realize.
When did Ruan Yi start preparations? The earliest Fenghuangshan military base was destined to lose money, and then brought the Wang family into the group, diluting the core management, and then quietly weakening Ruan's strengths, which is fascinating. In the seemingly perfect financial empire...
Ruan Shichang aged almost instantly. At his age, he was most afraid of failing in everything, and even more afraid of a big defeat, a broken halberd, and the latter being like a piece of Chen Tie, which made him stagger and almost couldn't stand.
Ruan Yi passed the eyes of the group of hate or fear in front of him, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes glanced over the few people in front of him, and he looked at Wang Qiyue at the end.
When Wang Qiyue met Ruan Yi's gaze, she inevitably felt a little guilty.
But she thinks that she has already paid the price, and Ruan Yi has never trusted her, and she only recently learned about many things.
When they sat face to face in Ruan Yi's office, the floor-to-ceiling windows were bright, and there might be sneak shots ambush in the surrounding high-rise commercial buildings.
Ruan Yi sat opposite her, separated by a low coffee table, just like the alienated distance over the years.
They said a few words about the Wang family and the Ruan family in a business-like manner.
In the end, Wang Qiyue signed the agreement without much hesitation, and transferred all the proportions of the Wang family to Ruan Yi.
Looking at the cold and unfathomable man opposite, Wang Qiyue still didn't know whether he didn't care about his betrayal or whether it was within his expectation.
Before leaving, Wang Qiyue suddenly said, "Ruan Yi, there is one more thing."
After listening to Wang Qiyue's words, Ruan Yi's voice was calm and angry: "What did you do?"
Wang Qiyue said: "I only learned about these things from Shu Hao. Although I had guessed before, but... I still didn't expect it to be like that. But even if I knew what happened, I couldn't tell you."
The Wang family wanted to avoid a second Gu Xingmian, and it was impossible for Ruan Yi to keep someone by his side. It was Ruan Yi who had the precedent of Ruan Shichang and knew what the Wang family taboo, took people to take risks.
Now Ruan Yi has everything he wanted, he has the ability to ask the Wang family for the previous debt, but he has to go back to the end, there is only one person who did the wrong thing.
Everyone has their own selfishness and considerations, and there is only one innocent person among them.
Ruan Yi's indifference made Wang Qiyue feel unhappy in her heart. She even felt that, from the very beginning, Ruan Yi made it clear about their identities, and it wasn't for any one person. This was Ruan Yi's original plan.
Everything he knows now is not painful to him.
How could a person like Ruan Yi love others? He just arranged everything and everything in his plan.
The Wang family was tricked into this by Ruan Yi, and she also fell into a scandal. With Wang Qiyue's character, she is not afraid of Ruan Yi's sharpness now, so she raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically: "Ruan Yi, I admire your ability. Even if you are a little Curious, how tired it is to be around you."
After saying this, Wang Qiyue only looked at the corner of his lowered eyes from the corner of his eye. When he left, he saw the door of the lounge was opened from the glass door, and a child came out of it. When Wang Qiyue walked out, he heard the child's immature The voice called "Dad".
This kind of address sounds a little unaccustomed to people. A man like Ruan Yi is just like the first time he saw him. He has a cold knife, impersonal and untouchable.
She was somewhat curious about the Omega beside Ruan Yi, Ruan Yi arranged everything clearly, as long as he followed him, everything would be safe, but how could a living person swallow the pain and despair caused by him, Keep up with Ruan Yi's exact footsteps?
Resisting the urge to look back, Wang Qiyue put on her sunglasses, tapped her slender high heels on the floor and left.
Ruan Yi has basically brought He Xin by his side these two days. He Xin can't understand what the adults are saying, and the effect is very good. He unconsciously becomes more stable in front of Ruan Yi, and is well-behaved and sensible around Ruan Yi.
When I got home, I secretly told He Chu that my father was in a bad mood today.
He Chu noticed the heavy corners of Ruan Yi's eyes, thinking that he wanted to say something because he met Ruan Shichang and the others today, so he pursed the corners of his mouth again and went to the kitchen.
Ruan Yi didn't let him cook, and every time he ordered meals with great fanfare and delivered them. This small kitchen was even colder than the place where Ruan Yi lived. The fire was hardly turned on, and the refrigerator was full of things.
When He Chu was washing the fruit, Ruan Yi hugged him from behind, his hand passed through his waist, his palm hooked his stomach, and the other hand held He Chu's hand that was soaked in cold water, and wiped the back of his hand with his thumb drops of water on.
"What's the matter with you?" He Chu's unilateral cold war lasted for a minute. Before he was discovered by the other party, he himself softened, "Did Ruan Shichang say something to you?"
The old things flow like fire, and fear arises from love, but after hearing He Chu's soft voice, the roaring lion in Ruan Yi's heart lay dormant in peace.
He briefly told He Chu about the content of today's meeting, and rubbed He Chu's stomach vaguely while talking.
He Chu didn't know if Ruan Yi knew about it, but also embarrassed and angry, he reached out and pressed Ruan Yi's palm.
Ruan Yi didn't move any more, and suddenly asked, "Didn't it be hard when you took care of Fang Fang by yourself?"
It would be a lie to say no, He Chu chose a compromise: "A little bit. But Fang Fang is very sensible."
"I know." Ruan Yi kissed the back of his neck.
He Chu let him hug him for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Then if Fang Fang makes a wish tomorrow and doesn't want to take any classes, you have to promise him."
Ruan Yi laughed, pressed against He Chu's back and trembled slightly, and said, "Okay. Don't worry, I won't force him. But he won't grant that wish."
Seeing that He Chu was still frowning, Ruan Yi turned him around, put his arms behind him, took advantage of the obvious difference in body shape to imprison him in his arms, and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if Fang Fang doesn't agree with that Wish, you follow me back."
He Chu frowned because he felt sorry for He Xin, and didn't mean to doubt Ruan Yi, but Ruan Yi didn't give him a chance to explain, so he quickly kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "That's the deal."
He Chu feels weird, but now Ruan Yi follows him wherever he goes, and whatever house he lives in has become a formality.
He Chu nodded in agreement, faintly feeling that he had forgotten something, and when Ruan Yi used him as a cushion at night, he realized that he should be angry.
He Chu thought, it's better not to tell Ruan Yi for the time being.
At He Xin's birthday party, there were not many guests. Except for a few He Chu knew, the others were all unfamiliar faces, who had more or less seen them on the news.
Although there are still aftermaths outside, whoever is still standing in Vanity Fair is the weather vane. Everything in the past is like smoke and dust, and these people who hold power don't care.
Because it was He Xin's birthday, the invited people brought many children of the same stage. He Xin was surrounded by several children, and He Chu was also chatted intentionally or unintentionally. I searched around and found no one.
When it was time to blow out the candles, Ruan Yi appeared with Wu Nu, and when standing beside He Chu, he lightly held his hand.
Before He Chu could ask, the lights at the scene were all turned off. He Xin stood in front of the cake, clasped his little hands, and his face was illuminated by a fluffy halo from the flickering candlelight.
He Chu looked at his son and couldn't help showing a smile.
After blowing out the candles, everyone applauded in the brief darkness. He Chu itched his face sideways, looked at Ruan Yi in the turned-on light, and licked the corners of his lips shyly at Ruan Yi.
Wu Nu stood aside and watched, with mixed feelings.
He has always disagreed with He Chu's decision, because he knows He Chu better, and always feels that he is stuck in his own alley and cannot get out.
I learned from Lan Shuhao that the two of them are the same—the people around Ruan Yi also disliked them, and they all felt that Ruan Yi was making a prison for himself and making things difficult for him.
Wu Nu saw He Chu standing in the crowd today, although he was unfamiliar and nervous, but he did not appear cramped, knowing that he was really working hard to get closer to Ruan Yi's world.
After talking with Ruan Yi just now, Wu Nu still cared in his heart, but no one can say for sure whether other people's feelings are inappropriate or not.
At least He Chu is looking at Ruan Yi at the moment, all eyes are on him.
Wu Nu drank a little wine just now, looked at He Chu's contented smile, pressed his hot eye sockets, said hello to He Chu and left early.
He Chu went out to see him off, and wanted to secretly find out what he had said to Ruan Yi. Ruan Yi had been a little abnormal since yesterday.
He Chu was not very surprised when Wu Nu and Ruan Yi asked about the past, no wonder he just looked at himself without saying a word and said, "He already knows..."
"It's good to know. Your new job is also very good. If you have anything, you can explain it clearly when you go back." Wu Nu patted him on the shoulder, not wanting him to have any worries, and said with a smile, "Ah Chu, we will start working in the future." Happy."
"Understood, Uncle, you and Sister Lan too, please say hello to Sister Lan for me."
Wu Nu walked down the steps, then turned around, He Chu stood there and waved to him with a gentle and clear smile.
Along the way, when the suffering was unspeakable, Wu Nu didn't dare to be happy, and Wu Nu only hoped that He Chu was safe.
Maybe it was because of the old things he told Ruan Yi, now looking at He Chu's bright eyes, Wu Nu squinted his eyes hard when he turned his head.
Ruan Yi drank some wine with Wu Nu, and when He Chu found him, he was standing by the terrace blowing cold wind.
"Second brother."
Ruan Yi narrowed his eyelids slightly, his eyes were scorching hot, like the smell of hot alcohol, He Chu touched his forehead worriedly, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ruan Yi held his hand and shook his head.
He Chu had gathered up his courage all night, and planned to talk to Ruan Yi about the years in between. Seeing Ruan Yi's appearance, he doubted whether Ruan Yi could hear what he said.
Ruan Yi was actually not drunk, he stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, such a tall man seemed to be supported by He Chu.
Ruan Yi's distress has always been hidden under the calm water surface, he will not speak, nor will he let the lake tide ebb, so he hides everything miserly.
He Chu stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "Second Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Me too." Ruan Yi's voice seemed to be soaked in cold wine, with an intoxicating low, "I wanted to propose just now. When the lights were turned off."
But Ruan Yi just kissed He Chu's side face.
He Chu swallowed all the words he had prepared, with a startled expression on his face.
Ruan Yi touched his soft hair with his palm, and a faint smile floated on his face: "But I don't want to scare you, and I don't want to be in such a hurry all the time. Besides, you suffered too much when you gave birth to Fang, I don't want to All I can give you are painful memories."
It was not so easy for Ruan Yi to say such words, but looking at He Chu's eyes that seemed to melt people, Ruan Yi threw away his helmet and armor, wanting to give everything he could to his treasure.
Ruan Yi squeezed He Chu's left hand, looked at it intently for a while, and asked, "Is it too painful? That's why I'm willing to give up something I like so much."
He Chu's nose was sore, and the grievance in his heart seemed to overflow, and he pursed his mouth: "Mmm."
The golden light in the hall leaked from the glass windows, covering the terrace, and the night outside was separated by a layer of glass, as if on an isolated island, some words that Ruan Yi would not speak at ordinary times, but at this moment It poured out towards He Chu again.
He Chu didn't dare to vent his anger, feeling that Ruan Yi was really poured out by Wu Nu a lot.
When Ruan Yi held his breath and was silent, He Chu pressed his forehead, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Actually, at first, I didn't want to find this job. My hand has some old injuries, and it may not recover to the previous level." .But being with you gave me courage, I want to give it a try, and I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
He Chu's soft and clear voice rang in Ruan Yi's ears, telling him that he had found a new job, and that he would be able to start work in September without any accidents. The salary was not high, and he was not tired. Very leisurely.
He Chu is also a clumsy person when it comes to speech, but the two love words he coaxed Ruan Yi easily shook the heart in Ruan Yi's chest, making Ruan Yi feel so soft and majestic without hesitation. There is no way.
On the way back, Ruan Yi kept leaning on the car with his eyes closed, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but he knew that he was in a dream because he saw Xu Yitong.
After Xu Yitong passed away, Ruan Yi never mentioned it to anyone, let alone his mother who died young. Now Ruan Yi doesn't know what it is that he dreamed about.
It may be because he saw He Xin playing the piano today, or it may be because the dust settled and he got his wish.
In the dream, there is a grand piano in the main hall of the Ruan family. It is said that it was one of the dowry gifts from Xu Yitong’s noble family when he got married. The back of the front is a rare gentle memory of Ruan Yi's youth.
When he saw it again, Ruan Yi just froze for a moment, and stood where he was without going over.
It was like the night before Xu Yitong's euthanasia, he stayed in the ward, just like before, looking at the person who looked like a flower of immortality on the bed without saying a word.
Maybe Ruan Yi needs to say something, let the language express his guilt and apology, and now Ruan Yi just needs to speak, and he may release the dust in his heart.
But Ruan Yi's heart was blank, he would not say anything.He can't forgive anyone, including himself, and it's even less likely to reconcile.
In the vain dream, Ruan Yi seemed to be standing there carelessly, like a sharp cold front, incompatible with the peaceful and elegant environment, freezing everything he saw in front of him.
But Xu Yitong stood up and looked at the tall and straight boy coming down the stairs with a smile.
The 14-year-old Ruan Yi is already taller than Xu Yitong, with a narrow waist and long legs. Standing beside his beautiful and dignified mother, he looks dignified and arrogant.
Ruan Yi remembered that this was Xu Yitong's 38th birthday.
It was also on this day that Ruan Shichang brought Ruan Da into the banquet. Although he didn't say Ruan Da's identity, he just told Ruan Yi kindly that this was his brother.
Ruan Yi had an older brother who was weak and died early. He didn't know that Ruan Da, who was also weak, was really his elder brother, and he didn't immediately understand the meaning of Ruan Shichang's actions. He even called Ruan Da Say "Brother".
All these were in front of Xu Yitong.
Xu Yitong was concerned about the dignity of the two families, and with his son's unknowing gaze beside him, the corners of his mouth quivered, and he gave a gentle smile.
These things became heart poison after Ruan Yi understood the stupidity of Wuchen under his eyes, and the blood and tears that Xu Yitong endured behind that forced smile.
This is one of Ruan Yi's most hated memories.
Now watching like a bystander, Ruan Yi's whole body was still tense for a moment.
Ruan Da was not feeling well, and he didn't stay for long. Xu Yitong arranged for someone to take care of him, but his mood was not as good as before, and he seemed to talk to his taciturn son.
Ruan Yi, who had been an adult for a long time, stood aside, wanting to kick that cold boy, and ask him to have a few more words with Xu Yitong.
Stay with her, there will be no chance in the future.
"Ruan Yi, you go to play with your friends, and the guests are almost here, so you don't need to accompany me." Xu Yitong spoke in a very slow tone, with the calmness and elegance of a young lady.
Ruan Yi stood aside, looked at the car slowly driving across the lawn, and said, "Yes."
The RV stopped, and a family came down, one of them was Lin Xuan from Ruan Yi's school, the two were familiar with each other, and they hugged politely, Lin Zhaoxi, Lin Xuan's younger brother, liked Ruan Yi very much, and shook Ruan Yi's hand "Second Brother" Second Brother" cried.
When the adults were exchanging greetings, Xu Yitong saw the child hiding behind and said with a smile, "Whose baby is this?"
Before Ruan Yi was ten years old, Xu Yitong still called him "Baby". Later, as his son became more and more cool, she couldn't even call him out. When she saw the shy little Omega, she laughed for a moment.
Lin Hongbin introduced the child as his adopted son, named "He Chu".
Xu Yitong took that little hand and said, "You are so handsome. Ah, why is your hand so cold, are you tired?"
At that time, He Chu couldn't speak, and after going in with others, he also stood at the base of the wall, looking around timidly, with a childish and white face.
Ruan Yi probably thought he was pitiful and cute at the time, and every time he came to this room, he would subconsciously look for this little Omega, or ask the helper to bring him some pastries.
The last time Ruan Yi passed by was to inform Lord Lin Zhaoxi that they were leaving, and Lin Zhaoxi ran out first, Ruan Yi took a step and then stopped, looking back, it turned out that the little Omega who looked like a rabbit slowly landed on the ground. later.
His eyes were bright and dark, as if they were full of water, Ruan Yi waited for him a few steps, and from the corner of his eye he saw that he quickly wiped his face with his sleeve.
Ruan Yi's chest seemed to be grasped by invisible hands.
When he saw himself squatting in front of He Chu, Ruan Yi didn't have any impression in his heart, and when he saw himself putting down a piece of candy in his hand, he thought he had changed the dream.
"Don't be afraid." The young man comforted him strangely, "It will be fine in the future."
"Second brother." He Chu hugged He Xin who was asleep, and whispered, "Second brother, you're home."
Ruan Yi opened his eyes, met Ming Xi's eyes that were as transparent as a dream, and stared at He Chu's face for a long time.
Only then did he realize that at the beginning of the nightmare that he couldn't get over, there was another He Chu in him, and all the remaining tenderness was given to one person.
He Chu asked the driver to drive the car back to the apartment where Ruan Yi often lived. When the elevator opened, He Chu walked out with He Xin in his arms. He embraced him from behind with a pair of arms, dragged He Xin, and hugged him as well.
Ruan Yi called him in a deep voice: "Chu Chu."
When Ruan Yi called this name, He Chu always felt hot in his ears, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Yi took He Xin who was sleeping soundly from his hand, and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about my mother just now, maybe remind me to take you to see her."
He Chu looked at his back as he walked forward, and blinked his sore eyes.
At the end of August, on the day He Chu received the letter of appointment, Ruan Yi took He Chu to Xu Yitong.
He Chu was nervous on the road, more nervous than meeting a real person.
After getting out of the car, he glanced at Ruan Yi who had a dignified expression from the corner of his eye, leaving one hand holding the flower free, and reached out to hold Ruan Yi's hand.
Ruan Yi turned his head and hooked his lips to him, and led him through the high and low steps of the cemetery, and finally stood in front of Xu Yitong's tombstone. He Chu said hello to the tombstone embedded in the ground: "Auntie good."
Putting down the white rose she was holding in her hand, she bowed seriously.
The white rose is Xu Yitong's favorite variety, Polestar. The delicate, crisp and pure white petals are warmed by the warm velvet under the golden sunlight.
"Mom, I brought He Chu to see you. By the way, we also have a son named He Xin. He is very good. I will bring him to see you next time."
He Chu added: "Fang Fang wants to learn the piano today, so he didn't come. Fang Fang is his nickname."
Seeing He Chu's nervous look, Ruan Yi let out a soft smile in his eyes, and said to Xu Yitong: "I will never be alone in the future, and He Chu will be my lover and relative in the future. I will learn how to do it well." Better yet, love him all the time."
He Chu whispered and said seriously: "Me too, I will always be with him."
Ruan Yi said those words because he brought He Chu here today, in front of Xu Yitong. Hearing what He Chu said, Ruan Yi rubbed his face that had grown some flesh recently, and said, "Let's go, go pick Fang up." square."
He Chu took his outstretched hand, walked down the steps, and walked out side by side with him.
The midsummer sun shone on the road behind, and the cool wind brought He Chu's voice to the stele where Bai Meigui lay quietly: "Second brother, there is one thing I haven't told you yet."
The author has something to say: It's over, thank you for your company and support all the way, see you on ao3, okay?
He Chu vaguely guessed that Ruan Yi wanted to train He Xin, and he didn't know how far the conversation between their father and son had progressed. He didn't worry much because he was busy with his own affairs.
September is the beginning of the school season, and his teacher wanted him to participate in the interview as a student. He Chu felt that his hands could not recover to their original appearance, and his age was beyond the standard. He thought it would be more appropriate to interview for a teaching assistant.
The requirements are not high. I usually guide the students, and I can follow the class, and then take it step by step.
The salary of this job is not high, and there are a lot of trivial chores, there is no competition, and there is He Chu's teacher, so there is no problem.
But He Chu couldn't walk through this back door with peace of mind, and had been preparing for his interview seriously and nervously.
He didn't tell Ruan Yi about these things, he thought, at least let Ruan Yi see his hands.
The day before He Xin's birthday, He Chu followed his teacher around where he might work. His teacher kept saying that He Chu looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is more confident.
Regarding the matter of going to school, He Chu didn't have a chance before, but Ruan Yi gave him a hope, and after all the calculations, he didn't lose anything, so he didn't have much regret in his heart.
It was his teacher who kept praising him and leading him to the auditorium to watch the orchestra that stayed at school during the summer vacation to prepare to perform.
He Chu's face is small and pale, and he can't tell his age very much. When he went to observe with the teacher, he was regarded as a beautiful new student, and Alpha's pheromones were ready to move.
The pheromone charm of the marked Omega to Alpha is greatly reduced, but it will not affect the visual attraction in the first place.
He Chu's teacher was a Beta who couldn't capture the changing pheromones in the air, but he could feel a few young and energetic boys looking at He Chu with bright eyes.
He Chu frowned and touched the back of his neck. It might be because the weather was hot and the air was not circulating in the air-conditioned auditorium. Omega and Alpha pheromones were mixed together, making people uncomfortable.
When an Alpha came over to say hello to them, the smell of pheromone became very strong, and He Chu's nerves trembled, and he arched his back and retched.
After the scene was quiet, He Chu's blood poured down his face, and the back of his snow-white neck turned red, and he immediately apologized embarrassingly.
Thinking that he was suffering from heat stroke, they left quickly. He Chu didn't bother the teacher to send him again, and went to the hospital by himself.
After the examination, everything was normal, there was no fever or heatstroke, and the doctor said he was fine.
Seeing that this young Omega has no experience at all, the doctor reminded him: "You have an Alpha, right?"
Seeing that He Chu nodded, the doctor said, "Then you register again and find another doctor to give you a pregnancy test order. What you said seems to be early pregnancy."
He Chu calmly agreed, and when he walked out of the consulting room, he was still thinking, how could it be possible.
However, I obediently went to do a check.
While waiting for the doctor to see the results, He Chu sent a text message to Ruan Yi with his mobile phone, edited it several times and deleted it, feeling inexplicably panicked.
The doctor took a look at his pregnancy test form, prescribed a new test for him, and asked him to go for an ultrasound diagnosis.
He Chu became more and more nervous. When he was lying down for the nurse to examine, his heart beat faster in his chest. When the cool gel was applied to his stomach, his chest stagnated.
"Don't be nervous." The nurse wearing a mask smiled and looked at his blushing face, "Is this the first time you have this kind of checkup? I will do it more often in the future, so I can see the baby clearly."
He Chu let go of the fingers that had been clutching the hem of his clothes all the time, with a shy and confused expression on his face, and he was even more embarrassed to say that he already had a child, so he didn't know anything.
When the examination report was typed out, He Chu could understand it without asking the doctor, but he seemed to be unable to understand it, sitting on the iron chair in the hospital, frowning in confusion.
After a while, he called Fang Yuen.
Fang Yuen's voice was still so energetic. When he picked up the phone, he first asked He Chu a bunch of news that he had seen during this period. Fang Yuen didn't ask much about some things that were inconvenient to disclose before.
Looking at the news for the past two days, it seemed that the hustle and bustle had settled down after the war. He couldn't wait to satisfy his curiosity. After He Chu answered them one by one, he asked the last question weakly: "The news said that you Is it true that the second brother earned 18 billion in one night?"
He Chu said "Yes".
Fang Yuen was silent for a while, and muttered: "You are too calm...that's right, what's his is yours..."
He Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Before he could speak, Fang Yuen changed the subject: "Hey, Ah Chu, what do you want from me?"
He Chu made him ask so much that he almost forgot his business, looked down at the checklist in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Yuen, is the medicine you gave me not effective?"
"Huh? What medicine? Are you sick?"
After He Chu explained in a murmur like a mosquito, Fang Yuen made a promise over there, and said, "How is it possible, don't worry, it is specially prepared for emergency medication for Omega in estrus, 100% contraceptive, it works both before and after ,you do not need to worry."
He Chu frowned while looking at the checklist showing that she was five weeks pregnant, and fell silent.
Fang Yuen called him, and said hesitantly, "Well, one situation is not ruled out."
"what?"
"It's your Alpha who has a dark heart and changed the medicine for you."
Ruan Yi is not too busy these two days, and there are many things that don't require him to come forward, but because Ruan Shichang has returned to China, the Ruan family, no, the former Ruan family held an emergency shareholders meeting.
In the proposal to dismiss Ruan Yi announced by the independent director established by Ruan Shichang, it was clearly stated that "Ruan Yi's position as a director still needs to be approved by the shareholders' meeting." Ruan Yi's shares, and then the almost brilliant prosperity before the avalanche.
At the shareholder meeting requested by Ruan Shichang, the long conference table and the front seat were empty from the beginning.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, many media were squatting under the commercial building, and the long light strips were lined up tens of meters.
Ruan Yi received He Xin who had finished his painting class, and his car appeared on time at the center of media attention.
There were four cars in total, and the media didn't know which one the "heir to revenge" of the Ruan family was sitting in. When the car drove into the underground garage, the flashing lights were still flashing wildly at the car's taillights.
The car was parked in a quiet parking lot, and a well-trained bodyguard stood up and held the door.
In the car, Ruan Yi unfastened He Xin's seat belt and asked, "Do you want me to hug you, or go by yourself?"
He Xin took his hand and got out of the car, "Dad, what are we doing here?"
"A meeting." Ruan Yi squeezed his little hand, "You play for a while, and I will pick you up later."
Ruan Yi brought He Xin to the former office, put He Xin's toys on the carpet where he played indoor golf before, projected a cartoon on the wall, and left all the bodyguards inside and outside the house. Time to rub his hair.
Seeing Ruan Yi standing up in He Xin's immature eyes, he casually straightened his tie with one hand, his eyes still dull.
The door of the meeting room was suddenly opened, and six people came in. The leader was known to many people present.
As always, Ruan Yi acted as if no one was around, and sat in his seat. The light layer of green stubble on his scalp made him look more arrogant and noble than before, and he was a little more vigorous and sharp. He nodded to everyone as a greeting.
This used to be the first-level conference hall of the Ruan family. After Ruan Shichang was in a semi-retired state, Ruan Yi sat in this position all the time. Later, Ruan Shichang came back and drove away Ruan Yi with his independent board of directors.
In the past 50 hours or so, Ruan Shichang faced the evaporated and diluted assets of the group, but at the moment he was too angry to speak out, or he was only afraid.
For the next half an hour, he didn't say a word, and it was the manager of the Ruan family who spoke.
Now the Ruan family wants to keep the last heavy industry company, and hopes that shareholders can contribute capital to escape the fate of being acquired and reshuffled.
Ruan Yi came here today just to listen, and would give Ruan Shichang half an hour, and then he would not do anything.
When the time was about to pass, he expressed his own opinion, and Ruan Shichang heard only eight words: "If you don't save yourself, you will be thrown into trouble."
Shareholders are acting on the basis of the wind, and reshuffle has mixed advantages and disadvantages for them, but Ruan Yi's sharpness and ability make Ruan look like he is lingering in front of him. No one knows what this lonely wolf-like Alpha is He left something behind and gave it to his father.
The outcome of the final meeting was within everyone's expectations.
Shareholders left one after another, and they would bring out the results of this meeting. It didn't matter whether Ruan Shichang appeared in front of the media or not. Everyone would know that Ruan Shi completed the "fall" in the media's mouth in just two days.
The group is still the same group, its industries still span various fields, and its assets still dominate one side, but the top layer is no longer the family.
Unbearable, Ruan Shichang and his family chased after Ruan Yi.
He just wanted to talk to Ruan Yi alone, and the others followed. If it was before, Ruan Shichang would still be afraid of Ruan Yi and try not to let them meet.
But he has taken care of Ruan Yi's emotions for decades, understands his resentment and resentment, and rarely cares about Ruan Yi's presumptuousness and tit-for-tat confrontation.
Ruan Shichang called to stop Ruan Yi. Unexpectedly, Ruan Yi was willing to be indifferent to him, and he didn't look at the group of people behind him.
He's triumphant now, and even more defiantly.
Their father and son have completely turned against each other, and they don't even bother to maintain the last appearance. They are shrewd and calculating businessmen. Damn, your mother has guarded her all her life, and now you are handing over to others, does she know?"
Ruan wanted to hear what Ruan Shichang could say, but every time he got an accident, the silent tyranny of his body seemed to be resurrected, making him look at Ruan Shichang like a knife in his eyes: "Who said I to give away."
The big guy who wants to buy here is Polestar who just crushed the Ruan family not long ago. Ruan Shichang guessed it without Ruan Yi saying anything.
At this moment, when he met Ruan Yi's cold gaze, he seemed to suddenly realize.
When did Ruan Yi start preparations? The earliest Fenghuangshan military base was destined to lose money, and then brought the Wang family into the group, diluting the core management, and then quietly weakening Ruan's strengths, which is fascinating. In the seemingly perfect financial empire...
Ruan Shichang aged almost instantly. At his age, he was most afraid of failing in everything, and even more afraid of a big defeat, a broken halberd, and the latter being like a piece of Chen Tie, which made him stagger and almost couldn't stand.
Ruan Yi passed the eyes of the group of hate or fear in front of him, and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes glanced over the few people in front of him, and he looked at Wang Qiyue at the end.
When Wang Qiyue met Ruan Yi's gaze, she inevitably felt a little guilty.
But she thinks that she has already paid the price, and Ruan Yi has never trusted her, and she only recently learned about many things.
When they sat face to face in Ruan Yi's office, the floor-to-ceiling windows were bright, and there might be sneak shots ambush in the surrounding high-rise commercial buildings.
Ruan Yi sat opposite her, separated by a low coffee table, just like the alienated distance over the years.
They said a few words about the Wang family and the Ruan family in a business-like manner.
In the end, Wang Qiyue signed the agreement without much hesitation, and transferred all the proportions of the Wang family to Ruan Yi.
Looking at the cold and unfathomable man opposite, Wang Qiyue still didn't know whether he didn't care about his betrayal or whether it was within his expectation.
Before leaving, Wang Qiyue suddenly said, "Ruan Yi, there is one more thing."
After listening to Wang Qiyue's words, Ruan Yi's voice was calm and angry: "What did you do?"
Wang Qiyue said: "I only learned about these things from Shu Hao. Although I had guessed before, but... I still didn't expect it to be like that. But even if I knew what happened, I couldn't tell you."
The Wang family wanted to avoid a second Gu Xingmian, and it was impossible for Ruan Yi to keep someone by his side. It was Ruan Yi who had the precedent of Ruan Shichang and knew what the Wang family taboo, took people to take risks.
Now Ruan Yi has everything he wanted, he has the ability to ask the Wang family for the previous debt, but he has to go back to the end, there is only one person who did the wrong thing.
Everyone has their own selfishness and considerations, and there is only one innocent person among them.
Ruan Yi's indifference made Wang Qiyue feel unhappy in her heart. She even felt that, from the very beginning, Ruan Yi made it clear about their identities, and it wasn't for any one person. This was Ruan Yi's original plan.
Everything he knows now is not painful to him.
How could a person like Ruan Yi love others? He just arranged everything and everything in his plan.
The Wang family was tricked into this by Ruan Yi, and she also fell into a scandal. With Wang Qiyue's character, she is not afraid of Ruan Yi's sharpness now, so she raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically: "Ruan Yi, I admire your ability. Even if you are a little Curious, how tired it is to be around you."
After saying this, Wang Qiyue only looked at the corner of his lowered eyes from the corner of his eye. When he left, he saw the door of the lounge was opened from the glass door, and a child came out of it. When Wang Qiyue walked out, he heard the child's immature The voice called "Dad".
This kind of address sounds a little unaccustomed to people. A man like Ruan Yi is just like the first time he saw him. He has a cold knife, impersonal and untouchable.
She was somewhat curious about the Omega beside Ruan Yi, Ruan Yi arranged everything clearly, as long as he followed him, everything would be safe, but how could a living person swallow the pain and despair caused by him, Keep up with Ruan Yi's exact footsteps?
Resisting the urge to look back, Wang Qiyue put on her sunglasses, tapped her slender high heels on the floor and left.
Ruan Yi has basically brought He Xin by his side these two days. He Xin can't understand what the adults are saying, and the effect is very good. He unconsciously becomes more stable in front of Ruan Yi, and is well-behaved and sensible around Ruan Yi.
When I got home, I secretly told He Chu that my father was in a bad mood today.
He Chu noticed the heavy corners of Ruan Yi's eyes, thinking that he wanted to say something because he met Ruan Shichang and the others today, so he pursed the corners of his mouth again and went to the kitchen.
Ruan Yi didn't let him cook, and every time he ordered meals with great fanfare and delivered them. This small kitchen was even colder than the place where Ruan Yi lived. The fire was hardly turned on, and the refrigerator was full of things.
When He Chu was washing the fruit, Ruan Yi hugged him from behind, his hand passed through his waist, his palm hooked his stomach, and the other hand held He Chu's hand that was soaked in cold water, and wiped the back of his hand with his thumb drops of water on.
"What's the matter with you?" He Chu's unilateral cold war lasted for a minute. Before he was discovered by the other party, he himself softened, "Did Ruan Shichang say something to you?"
The old things flow like fire, and fear arises from love, but after hearing He Chu's soft voice, the roaring lion in Ruan Yi's heart lay dormant in peace.
He briefly told He Chu about the content of today's meeting, and rubbed He Chu's stomach vaguely while talking.
He Chu didn't know if Ruan Yi knew about it, but also embarrassed and angry, he reached out and pressed Ruan Yi's palm.
Ruan Yi didn't move any more, and suddenly asked, "Didn't it be hard when you took care of Fang Fang by yourself?"
It would be a lie to say no, He Chu chose a compromise: "A little bit. But Fang Fang is very sensible."
"I know." Ruan Yi kissed the back of his neck.
He Chu let him hug him for a while, and couldn't help saying: "Then if Fang Fang makes a wish tomorrow and doesn't want to take any classes, you have to promise him."
Ruan Yi laughed, pressed against He Chu's back and trembled slightly, and said, "Okay. Don't worry, I won't force him. But he won't grant that wish."
Seeing that He Chu was still frowning, Ruan Yi turned him around, put his arms behind him, took advantage of the obvious difference in body shape to imprison him in his arms, and said, "Why don't we make a bet, if Fang Fang doesn't agree with that Wish, you follow me back."
He Chu frowned because he felt sorry for He Xin, and didn't mean to doubt Ruan Yi, but Ruan Yi didn't give him a chance to explain, so he quickly kissed the corner of his mouth and said, "That's the deal."
He Chu feels weird, but now Ruan Yi follows him wherever he goes, and whatever house he lives in has become a formality.
He Chu nodded in agreement, faintly feeling that he had forgotten something, and when Ruan Yi used him as a cushion at night, he realized that he should be angry.
He Chu thought, it's better not to tell Ruan Yi for the time being.
At He Xin's birthday party, there were not many guests. Except for a few He Chu knew, the others were all unfamiliar faces, who had more or less seen them on the news.
Although there are still aftermaths outside, whoever is still standing in Vanity Fair is the weather vane. Everything in the past is like smoke and dust, and these people who hold power don't care.
Because it was He Xin's birthday, the invited people brought many children of the same stage. He Xin was surrounded by several children, and He Chu was also chatted intentionally or unintentionally. I searched around and found no one.
When it was time to blow out the candles, Ruan Yi appeared with Wu Nu, and when standing beside He Chu, he lightly held his hand.
Before He Chu could ask, the lights at the scene were all turned off. He Xin stood in front of the cake, clasped his little hands, and his face was illuminated by a fluffy halo from the flickering candlelight.
He Chu looked at his son and couldn't help showing a smile.
After blowing out the candles, everyone applauded in the brief darkness. He Chu itched his face sideways, looked at Ruan Yi in the turned-on light, and licked the corners of his lips shyly at Ruan Yi.
Wu Nu stood aside and watched, with mixed feelings.
He has always disagreed with He Chu's decision, because he knows He Chu better, and always feels that he is stuck in his own alley and cannot get out.
I learned from Lan Shuhao that the two of them are the same—the people around Ruan Yi also disliked them, and they all felt that Ruan Yi was making a prison for himself and making things difficult for him.
Wu Nu saw He Chu standing in the crowd today, although he was unfamiliar and nervous, but he did not appear cramped, knowing that he was really working hard to get closer to Ruan Yi's world.
After talking with Ruan Yi just now, Wu Nu still cared in his heart, but no one can say for sure whether other people's feelings are inappropriate or not.
At least He Chu is looking at Ruan Yi at the moment, all eyes are on him.
Wu Nu drank a little wine just now, looked at He Chu's contented smile, pressed his hot eye sockets, said hello to He Chu and left early.
He Chu went out to see him off, and wanted to secretly find out what he had said to Ruan Yi. Ruan Yi had been a little abnormal since yesterday.
He Chu was not very surprised when Wu Nu and Ruan Yi asked about the past, no wonder he just looked at himself without saying a word and said, "He already knows..."
"It's good to know. Your new job is also very good. If you have anything, you can explain it clearly when you go back." Wu Nu patted him on the shoulder, not wanting him to have any worries, and said with a smile, "Ah Chu, we will start working in the future." Happy."
"Understood, Uncle, you and Sister Lan too, please say hello to Sister Lan for me."
Wu Nu walked down the steps, then turned around, He Chu stood there and waved to him with a gentle and clear smile.
Along the way, when the suffering was unspeakable, Wu Nu didn't dare to be happy, and Wu Nu only hoped that He Chu was safe.
Maybe it was because of the old things he told Ruan Yi, now looking at He Chu's bright eyes, Wu Nu squinted his eyes hard when he turned his head.
Ruan Yi drank some wine with Wu Nu, and when He Chu found him, he was standing by the terrace blowing cold wind.
"Second brother."
Ruan Yi narrowed his eyelids slightly, his eyes were scorching hot, like the smell of hot alcohol, He Chu touched his forehead worriedly, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ruan Yi held his hand and shook his head.
He Chu had gathered up his courage all night, and planned to talk to Ruan Yi about the years in between. Seeing Ruan Yi's appearance, he doubted whether Ruan Yi could hear what he said.
Ruan Yi was actually not drunk, he stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, such a tall man seemed to be supported by He Chu.
Ruan Yi's distress has always been hidden under the calm water surface, he will not speak, nor will he let the lake tide ebb, so he hides everything miserly.
He Chu stretched out his arms to hug him and said, "Second Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Me too." Ruan Yi's voice seemed to be soaked in cold wine, with an intoxicating low, "I wanted to propose just now. When the lights were turned off."
But Ruan Yi just kissed He Chu's side face.
He Chu swallowed all the words he had prepared, with a startled expression on his face.
Ruan Yi touched his soft hair with his palm, and a faint smile floated on his face: "But I don't want to scare you, and I don't want to be in such a hurry all the time. Besides, you suffered too much when you gave birth to Fang, I don't want to All I can give you are painful memories."
It was not so easy for Ruan Yi to say such words, but looking at He Chu's eyes that seemed to melt people, Ruan Yi threw away his helmet and armor, wanting to give everything he could to his treasure.
Ruan Yi squeezed He Chu's left hand, looked at it intently for a while, and asked, "Is it too painful? That's why I'm willing to give up something I like so much."
He Chu's nose was sore, and the grievance in his heart seemed to overflow, and he pursed his mouth: "Mmm."
The golden light in the hall leaked from the glass windows, covering the terrace, and the night outside was separated by a layer of glass, as if on an isolated island, some words that Ruan Yi would not speak at ordinary times, but at this moment It poured out towards He Chu again.
He Chu didn't dare to vent his anger, feeling that Ruan Yi was really poured out by Wu Nu a lot.
When Ruan Yi held his breath and was silent, He Chu pressed his forehead, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Actually, at first, I didn't want to find this job. My hand has some old injuries, and it may not recover to the previous level." .But being with you gave me courage, I want to give it a try, and I don’t want you to misunderstand.”
He Chu's soft and clear voice rang in Ruan Yi's ears, telling him that he had found a new job, and that he would be able to start work in September without any accidents. The salary was not high, and he was not tired. Very leisurely.
He Chu is also a clumsy person when it comes to speech, but the two love words he coaxed Ruan Yi easily shook the heart in Ruan Yi's chest, making Ruan Yi feel so soft and majestic without hesitation. There is no way.
On the way back, Ruan Yi kept leaning on the car with his eyes closed, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but he knew that he was in a dream because he saw Xu Yitong.
After Xu Yitong passed away, Ruan Yi never mentioned it to anyone, let alone his mother who died young. Now Ruan Yi doesn't know what it is that he dreamed about.
It may be because he saw He Xin playing the piano today, or it may be because the dust settled and he got his wish.
In the dream, there is a grand piano in the main hall of the Ruan family. It is said that it was one of the dowry gifts from Xu Yitong’s noble family when he got married. The back of the front is a rare gentle memory of Ruan Yi's youth.
When he saw it again, Ruan Yi just froze for a moment, and stood where he was without going over.
It was like the night before Xu Yitong's euthanasia, he stayed in the ward, just like before, looking at the person who looked like a flower of immortality on the bed without saying a word.
Maybe Ruan Yi needs to say something, let the language express his guilt and apology, and now Ruan Yi just needs to speak, and he may release the dust in his heart.
But Ruan Yi's heart was blank, he would not say anything.He can't forgive anyone, including himself, and it's even less likely to reconcile.
In the vain dream, Ruan Yi seemed to be standing there carelessly, like a sharp cold front, incompatible with the peaceful and elegant environment, freezing everything he saw in front of him.
But Xu Yitong stood up and looked at the tall and straight boy coming down the stairs with a smile.
The 14-year-old Ruan Yi is already taller than Xu Yitong, with a narrow waist and long legs. Standing beside his beautiful and dignified mother, he looks dignified and arrogant.
Ruan Yi remembered that this was Xu Yitong's 38th birthday.
It was also on this day that Ruan Shichang brought Ruan Da into the banquet. Although he didn't say Ruan Da's identity, he just told Ruan Yi kindly that this was his brother.
Ruan Yi had an older brother who was weak and died early. He didn't know that Ruan Da, who was also weak, was really his elder brother, and he didn't immediately understand the meaning of Ruan Shichang's actions. He even called Ruan Da Say "Brother".
All these were in front of Xu Yitong.
Xu Yitong was concerned about the dignity of the two families, and with his son's unknowing gaze beside him, the corners of his mouth quivered, and he gave a gentle smile.
These things became heart poison after Ruan Yi understood the stupidity of Wuchen under his eyes, and the blood and tears that Xu Yitong endured behind that forced smile.
This is one of Ruan Yi's most hated memories.
Now watching like a bystander, Ruan Yi's whole body was still tense for a moment.
Ruan Da was not feeling well, and he didn't stay for long. Xu Yitong arranged for someone to take care of him, but his mood was not as good as before, and he seemed to talk to his taciturn son.
Ruan Yi, who had been an adult for a long time, stood aside, wanting to kick that cold boy, and ask him to have a few more words with Xu Yitong.
Stay with her, there will be no chance in the future.
"Ruan Yi, you go to play with your friends, and the guests are almost here, so you don't need to accompany me." Xu Yitong spoke in a very slow tone, with the calmness and elegance of a young lady.
Ruan Yi stood aside, looked at the car slowly driving across the lawn, and said, "Yes."
The RV stopped, and a family came down, one of them was Lin Xuan from Ruan Yi's school, the two were familiar with each other, and they hugged politely, Lin Zhaoxi, Lin Xuan's younger brother, liked Ruan Yi very much, and shook Ruan Yi's hand "Second Brother" Second Brother" cried.
When the adults were exchanging greetings, Xu Yitong saw the child hiding behind and said with a smile, "Whose baby is this?"
Before Ruan Yi was ten years old, Xu Yitong still called him "Baby". Later, as his son became more and more cool, she couldn't even call him out. When she saw the shy little Omega, she laughed for a moment.
Lin Hongbin introduced the child as his adopted son, named "He Chu".
Xu Yitong took that little hand and said, "You are so handsome. Ah, why is your hand so cold, are you tired?"
At that time, He Chu couldn't speak, and after going in with others, he also stood at the base of the wall, looking around timidly, with a childish and white face.
Ruan Yi probably thought he was pitiful and cute at the time, and every time he came to this room, he would subconsciously look for this little Omega, or ask the helper to bring him some pastries.
The last time Ruan Yi passed by was to inform Lord Lin Zhaoxi that they were leaving, and Lin Zhaoxi ran out first, Ruan Yi took a step and then stopped, looking back, it turned out that the little Omega who looked like a rabbit slowly landed on the ground. later.
His eyes were bright and dark, as if they were full of water, Ruan Yi waited for him a few steps, and from the corner of his eye he saw that he quickly wiped his face with his sleeve.
Ruan Yi's chest seemed to be grasped by invisible hands.
When he saw himself squatting in front of He Chu, Ruan Yi didn't have any impression in his heart, and when he saw himself putting down a piece of candy in his hand, he thought he had changed the dream.
"Don't be afraid." The young man comforted him strangely, "It will be fine in the future."
"Second brother." He Chu hugged He Xin who was asleep, and whispered, "Second brother, you're home."
Ruan Yi opened his eyes, met Ming Xi's eyes that were as transparent as a dream, and stared at He Chu's face for a long time.
Only then did he realize that at the beginning of the nightmare that he couldn't get over, there was another He Chu in him, and all the remaining tenderness was given to one person.
He Chu asked the driver to drive the car back to the apartment where Ruan Yi often lived. When the elevator opened, He Chu walked out with He Xin in his arms. He embraced him from behind with a pair of arms, dragged He Xin, and hugged him as well.
Ruan Yi called him in a deep voice: "Chu Chu."
When Ruan Yi called this name, He Chu always felt hot in his ears, "What's wrong?"
Ruan Yi took He Xin who was sleeping soundly from his hand, and said in a low voice, "I dreamed about my mother just now, maybe remind me to take you to see her."
He Chu looked at his back as he walked forward, and blinked his sore eyes.
At the end of August, on the day He Chu received the letter of appointment, Ruan Yi took He Chu to Xu Yitong.
He Chu was nervous on the road, more nervous than meeting a real person.
After getting out of the car, he glanced at Ruan Yi who had a dignified expression from the corner of his eye, leaving one hand holding the flower free, and reached out to hold Ruan Yi's hand.
Ruan Yi turned his head and hooked his lips to him, and led him through the high and low steps of the cemetery, and finally stood in front of Xu Yitong's tombstone. He Chu said hello to the tombstone embedded in the ground: "Auntie good."
Putting down the white rose she was holding in her hand, she bowed seriously.
The white rose is Xu Yitong's favorite variety, Polestar. The delicate, crisp and pure white petals are warmed by the warm velvet under the golden sunlight.
"Mom, I brought He Chu to see you. By the way, we also have a son named He Xin. He is very good. I will bring him to see you next time."
He Chu added: "Fang Fang wants to learn the piano today, so he didn't come. Fang Fang is his nickname."
Seeing He Chu's nervous look, Ruan Yi let out a soft smile in his eyes, and said to Xu Yitong: "I will never be alone in the future, and He Chu will be my lover and relative in the future. I will learn how to do it well." Better yet, love him all the time."
He Chu whispered and said seriously: "Me too, I will always be with him."
Ruan Yi said those words because he brought He Chu here today, in front of Xu Yitong. Hearing what He Chu said, Ruan Yi rubbed his face that had grown some flesh recently, and said, "Let's go, go pick Fang up." square."
He Chu took his outstretched hand, walked down the steps, and walked out side by side with him.
The midsummer sun shone on the road behind, and the cool wind brought He Chu's voice to the stele where Bai Meigui lay quietly: "Second brother, there is one thing I haven't told you yet."
The author has something to say: It's over, thank you for your company and support all the way, see you on ao3, okay?
