I entered the elevator, quickly pressed the first floor button, and watched the elevator door slowly close in front of me.

Chu Yigui leaned against the elevator wall, mixed messages emerging in his mind.

Chu Yigui knew that Wan Qiu would not do something for no reason.

Wan Qiu is not a person who is good at active thinking, but he tries very hard to find himself.

His brother was not wrong.

His brother just wanted to prepare a surprise for him.

Chu Yigui made a phone call and told Yang Ze what happened.

Chu Yigui didn't even hear Yang Ze's reply. All that was left on the other end of the phone was the cold busy tone.

Chu Yigui held the phone tightly and stepped out of the elevator.

His brother was not wrong.

My brother, who is gradually becoming normal, should have his own ideas.

Even when he once understood nothing, he was able to act in his own favor.

Even if you want to do something secretly, it's not impossible.

Wan Qiu will be able to return home safely as always.

He knows what he is doing and has the ability to protect himself and avoid danger.

However, his brother did not understand what kind of family he was in now.

As his brother gradually finds himself, one day he will notice something strange in his family.

It should be slower and calmer.

Chu Yigui knew that he had to find Wan Qiu as soon as possible.

To find Wan Qiu earlier than anyone else.

otherwise……

Shouldn't say that.

I shouldn’t have told Yang Xiaoyu.

He made a mistake.

The moment he saw the empty room, Chu Yigui could no longer control his mistakes.

His mistakes will mess up everything.

Chu Yigui stepped into the rain.

The messy splashing water showed the impatience vividly.

The night had become completely dark, and even the lights were obscured by the fog and rain, condensing into a ball of light that could not disperse.

Chu Yigui also blended into the night.

——

Wan Qiu originally thought that he could go back quickly after buying the things.

Because the rain suddenly got heavy, Wan Qiu asked the store to wrap the gifts he bought in several layers of plastic bags and seal them tightly to prevent water from getting into them.

But when he left the store, his gradually calmed down brain noticed his current situation.

It seemed to rain often during this period, but it didn't rain much where they were traveling, so Wanqiu didn't remember it.

It seems that there hasn’t been such abundant rain in the past.

Wan Qiu stepped directly into the rain, wanting to return home as soon as possible.

Probably because of the rain, the road that was usually busy at this time of year was now silent.

Wan Qiu's pace was getting slower and slower.

There was no one in front or behind.

The rain seemed to have blocked out the lights.

Wan Qiu's pace became slower and slower.

Some memories popped up that shouldn't have surfaced at this time.

In a dark rainy night like this with dim street lights, is it easy for ghosts to appear?

The dark tones in the horror movies seemed to match the pitch-black night before our eyes.

Is there some scary ghost standing in the rain where nothing can be seen?

The rainy night that once meant nothing to Wan Qiu suddenly became difficult for him to move forward because Wan Qiu learned about the existence of ghosts and souls.

The feeling of the rain hitting the ground was very familiar, and everything here made Wan Qiu feel terrified.

If we go back now, he won't be able to get in.

Wan Qiu only thought about how he should escape, but forgot to think about how he should go back.

Feeling lost and frightened, Wan Qiu took two steps back and leaned against the wall.

As if this would make him safer.

Wan Qiu had no idea how to relieve his fear. He held the gift tightly in his hands and was unable to move.

Wan Qiu wanted to make a phone call, but his cell phone had been left at home.

Wan Qiu saw a figure approaching from a distance without an umbrella. A terrifying ghost face appeared in his mind and he subconsciously turned to an empty path.

Very scared.

Will there be ghosts?

Why can’t I see anything clearly?

When will the rain stop?

Would anyone notice that he had sneaked away?

No...it would be better if no one found out, right?

Wan Qiu's mind was in a mess with all sorts of thoughts.

I thought about the scary ghosts, and about sneaking out. I thought about whether I would be scolded if I was discovered. I didn’t want to be discovered, but I thought about the ghosts again…

Wan Qiu didn't know how long his thoughts had been wandering.

Until Wan Qiu suddenly heard a voice calling his name.

Wan Qiu's scalp felt tingling at this moment, as if a ghost was calling his name.

But as the voice got closer, Wan Qiu seemed to identify the owner of the voice.

what to do?

Have you been discovered?

At this moment, Wan Qiu even forgot that he was afraid of ghosts.

Will they be very angry?

Wan Qiu's mind was in chaos.

To apologize.

You have to apologize.

Wan Qiu forgot about the ghost and grew bolder, walking out of the alley with his shoulders hunched.

Wan Qiu looked up.

And the tall figure in the distance seemed to see it and suddenly ran towards him.

Wan Qiu opened his mouth, and when he saw the person in front of him, he subconsciously opened his mouth: "Second brother, yes..."

"Wan Qiu, Wan Qiu?"

A pair of thick and broad hands cupped his cheeks, forcing Wan Qiu to raise his head to look at the other person.

Under the light, at a close distance, Wan Qiu saw his second brother standing in front of him.

"Wan Qiu, it's Wan Qiu."

After confirming Wan Qiu's voice, Yang Ze seemed to feel a lot more at ease.

Wan Qiu felt that it was a little strange.

His second brother was afraid of something.

In the dim light, Yang Ze's face looked hideous.

Wan Qiu vaguely realized that the voice of the person calling him was full of anxiety and fear.

The unhappiness was so intense that it almost overflowed, and even formed a dark hostility that threatened to drown Wanqiu.

"Why did you suddenly run out?"

After a burst of intense worry, Yang burst into uncontrollable anger.

"Do you know how dangerous it is to be out there alone? Do you know what time it is? Can't you see it's still raining?!"

Wan Qiu widened his eyes. Even if rain fell in, Wan Qiu was unable to wipe it off.

"Wanqiu, Wanqiu, you can't go out by yourself, you can't get lost again, you can't do this in front of me..."

Yang Ze's words were confusing.

The surging emotions almost controlled all of Yang Ze's emotions, turning him into a wild beast that could only roar.

He grabbed Wan Qiu's shoulders tightly with both hands.

There was no time for Wan Qiu to explain.

Without asking why, and unable to think, Yang was dominated by fear.

In the hazy rain, that mature face revealed a side that was more fragile than that of a child.

Even the rain doesn't know if it is mixed with tears when it falls.

Wanqiu was thinking unconsciously, why is it raining today?

Is it to let him see the present Yang Ze?

What happened to his second brother?

"Second brother."

When Wan Qiu was at a loss, Chu Yigui's voice suddenly came.

“Let go!”

Chu Yigui's voice was serious.

He even pulled Yang Ze's arm hard.

"Get out!" Yang Ze suddenly waved his hands fiercely, pushing Chu Yigui away with almost all his strength.

The sound of rain seemed to have become quieter.

Wan Qiu could hear more tremors in Yang Ze's voice.

It was as if he did it on purpose to let Wan Qiu hear Yang Ze’s fear.

"Second brother." Chu Yigui stood two steps away, "Calm down, brother will be scared."

Yang Ze, however, seemed to be a little unclear in mind.

This time, Chu Yigui did not approach Yang Ze, but continued to say something.

"Brother, only three minutes have passed since I called you, and you found your brother within three minutes."

"It only takes five minutes to get home from here. This is a main pedestrian road. No car will suddenly take my brother away, and he won't follow a stranger."

"Brother, it's safe here. My brother has chosen a very safe path. He knows exactly what he is doing."

"Brother, calm down."

Chu Yigui still seemed calm.

His voice didn't sound any different.

Wan Qiu noticed that Yang Ze, who had been very angry just now, seemed to loosen his hand on his shoulder a little.

He seemed to listen.

"Brother, talk to the second brother." Chu Yigui focused his eyes on Wan Qiu, who was completely at a loss. "Talk to him, anything is fine."

Wan Qiu turned his attention back to Yang Ze.

Yang Ze's hands were like iron clamps and he was completely unable to break free from his grasp.

The intense unhappiness almost overwhelmed Wan Qiu.

This is a feeling Wan Qiu has never felt before...

It's like...

Once faced with someone raising his hand, I wanted to hit him.

"I'm sorry." Wan Qiu's voice seemed to be infected with anxiety, and it trembled, "I'm sorry, second brother, I was wrong."

"I came out to buy a gift for my brother's birthday."

"I want to prepare a birthday surprise for my brother."

"I'm sorry, I should have told you."

In Wan Qiu's voice and in his apologies, Yang Ze finally found himself again.

Wan Qiu in front of him was holding a big box in his hands.

Even though his nervous hands had been clenched into fists, he still cherished the square box so much that he didn't dare to use too much force.

The exquisitely sealed plastic bag seemed to show how much Wanqiu cherished this gift.

He ran away secretly with full of anticipation.

He was so looking forward to getting a surprise response.

It's just that now everything is messed up.

Wan Qiu would not cry for no reason.

He even felt that he had no right to cry in front of Yang Ze, who seemed to have collapsed.

Yang Ze put his hand down.

Looking at the weak brother in front of him, who was almost half his size.

Yang just kept watching.

After all the chaos faded away, Yang Ze now, for some reason, could only say one sentence.

An apology.

--sorry.

"Brother, go to your room first. It's still raining." Chu Yigui said, "It will be cold."

Yang didn't say anything.

But unlike before, he did not refuse angrily.

Chu Yigui stood aside, turned on his cell phone and called Chu Jianshu.

The other side answered immediately.

"Found it. My brother is near home." Chu Yigui said directly.

Yang Xiaoyu said almost immediately: "Where are you? I'll be there right away. Let me see Wan Qiu!"

Wan Qiu held the box in his hand.

Listening to Chu Yigui talking to his parents on the other end of the phone.

Even though he couldn't hear clearly standing there, it was enough for him to recognize that the tone of his parents on the other end of the phone was not very friendly.

His brother's eyes were fixed on him.

But Wan Qiu could never understand what he had done to make his parents so angry.

Chu Yigui hung up the phone.

Yang, on the other hand, was even more silent than usual.

Chu Yigui approached Wan Qiu, but his eyes were wary of Yang Ze.

But fortunately, Yang Ze seemed to have lost his aggressiveness.

Chu Yigui held Wan Qiu's hand and said, "Let's go, brother."

Wan Qiu turned around and looked at Yang Ze who was beside him.

They walked forward, and Yang would follow.

Yang Ze never looked away.

Wan Qiu knew that ever since his second brother saw him, he had never looked away.

Why?

He doesn't know.

Chu Yigui leaned against Wan Qiu and whispered in his ear, "Brother, don't be afraid. You didn't do anything wrong."

"Brother, be patient. You may be confused about what is happening, but please don't be sad."

"I'll explain it to you later."

Chu Yigui's consolation was accompanied by a faint whisper.

But it soothed Wan Qiu's anxiety and restlessness caused by confusion.

Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui, who was wearing even thinner clothes than them.

He seemed to have forgotten his coat.

The thin inner garment was soaked through and stuck completely to Chu Yigui's body.

Wan Qiu saw Chu Yigui’s wet hair.

"It doesn't seem to be raining today, it's sleeting." Chu Yigui smiled faintly, "It's already this month, is it still raining and snowing?"

Wan Qiu blinked and looked at Chu Yigui.

Chu Yigui said to Wan Qiu: "Brother, you have been in the rain and snow for such a long time. Does your head hurt from the cold?"

The relaxing voice, like warm water, dispelled the accumulated coldness in Wanqiu's heart.

"It was sleet." Wan Qiu also rubbed his hair, "It hurts a little from being hit, but it's not cold."

Chu Yigui smiled.

A clear laugh.

But Wan Qiu couldn't see Chu Yigui's happiness.

There wasn't even any unhappiness.

But it was forced, like a voice coming from nothingness.

They returned home, and Chu Yigui asked Wan Qiu to take another hot bath.

Wan Qiu stood in the bathroom, looking at his shoulder. There was even a red mark on the place where Yang Ze had held it, which had not completely disappeared until now.

Wan Qiu didn't know what happened.

This was also the first time Wan Qiu had seen his second brother like this.

Yang Xiaoyu came to find Wan Qiu.

In the middle of the night, Yang Xiaoyu looked a little embarrassed under the light.

But he heard the sound of Yang Xiaoyu's shoes walking on the tiles at home.

He felt Yang Xiaoyu holding him in his arms.

And he heard his father say: "Xiao Yu."

Dad called Mom's name.

It seemed like he was deliberately trying to suppress something.

Yang Xiaoyu held Wan Qiu's hand very tightly, which made Wan Qiu feel a little painful.

It felt like his second brother grabbing his hand, and it hurt a little.

"Wanqiu, go home with your mother today." Yang Xiaoyu said.

Wan Qiu nodded.

He could see that no one wanted a negative answer from him now.

——

On the way from home to Wan Qiu's residence, I received the news that Wan Qiu had been found.

The speed was so fast that their car had not even entered the city.

Chu Jianshu also heard what Chu Yigui said, but the vehicle did not stop and they still headed towards the city.

When he heard that Wan Qiu had been found, Yang Xiaoyu's impatience seemed to dissipate a little.

Yang Xiaoyu gradually regained his sanity and calmed down.

Chu Jianshu spoke to Yang Xiaoyu at this time: "When you are in front of Wan Qiu, don't put too much pressure on him. He is fifteen years old, and it is normal for him to want to do something on his own."

Yang Xiaoyu leaned against the car window, watching the rain drops hitting the window, without answering.

"Yigui told me that Wanqiu wanted to buy him a gift as a surprise, and he ran away secretly without us knowing. This was something Wanqiu wanted to do on his own initiative. Don't discourage him."

Chu Jianshu was relatively calm.

But Chu Jianshu himself couldn't tell whether it was true calmness or just an afterthought to calm down.

"He doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to be good. We can help him with anything. Not to mention a birthday surprise, we can do anything for him."

Yang Xiaoyu's voice was not as lively as usual, and she looked as if she had been drained of all her strength by anxiety.

"When Wan Qiu is gradually becoming a normal person, do you want to become a stumbling block for him?" Chu Jianshu's words inevitably became sharp.

"Isn't it the same for other people's children? Obviously other people can raise children who are dependent on their parents, so why can't I?"

Yang Xiaoyu knew that his condition was not right.

But now her mind was in a mess and she was talking without thinking.

"Wan Qiu is an excellent child, so he will learn to grow up on his own." Chu Jianshu sighed, "We can't make decisions for him in everything, it's not good for him."

"What's wrong with that?" Yang Xiaoyu asked.

"If it is Wan Qiu's own will to become what you said, I won't say anything."

The Chu family is very wealthy, and Wan Qiu does not need to get involved in the complicated family business.

Therefore, compared to Chu Zhang and Yang Ze who are given expectations, Wan Qiu himself is more suitable to accompany them.

He took care of his brothers even when they died of old age.

They might also find a reliable marriage for Wan Qiu.

But all this is based on Wan Qiu's willingness.

The child was clear and transparent, and greedily absorbed all the knowledge and emotions in the world like a sponge.

Even Wan Qiu himself did not realize that he was eager to understand this world.

Like a baby who has just opened his eyes, he is full of desire to explore this strange world.

In front of Chu Jianshu, Wan Qiu is lovable.

As a father, he witnessed with his own eyes the child gradually becoming what Wan Qiu wanted him to be.

"Xiao Yu, I understand your concerns." Chu Jianshu said, but he mentioned someone else, "What you are doing is unfair to A Zhang and A Ze."

Yang Xiaoyu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Chu Jianshu continued, "The same is true for Yigui."

This time, Yang Xiaoyu did not refute.

Yang Xiaoyu remembered how he yelled at Chu Yigui and how he hung up the phone without hesitation.

Chu Yigui called Chu Jianshu.

She could even imagine the child being calm and trying to stabilize the situation.

But when she was trying her best to protect Wan Qiu with the most precious cage, how did Chu Yigui feel as he was standing by and watching?

Is he still the same as she remembered, calm, as if he didn't care about anything?

Chu Yigui would neither cry nor complain.

So she unknowingly ignored Chu Yigui's feelings.

"I did something wrong." Yang Xiaoyu rubbed his forehead, his eyes becoming more rational, "I just lost my composure."

Chu Jianshu said, "Xiao Yu, I understand your feelings, and Wan Qiu will also understand your feelings."

Even if you have to take care of the children, Yang Xiaoyu's emotions should not be ignored.

Wan Qiu would be the first to see Yang Xiaoyu's emotions.

The same goes for Chu Yigui.

"Take them home tonight and take another day off tomorrow. I'm afraid they're exhausted after all this sudden trouble."

Chu Jianshu suggested.

Yang Xiaoyu saw Wan Qiu.

Yang Xiaoyu hugged Wan Qiu.

Wan Qiu probably took a shower and blew his hair dry. His hair was soft and felt very unique in his hands.

Chu Yigui is the same.

But Yang Ze didn't seem to plan to take a shower.

He just changed into a new piece of clothing, which belonged to Chu Yigui. Chu Yigui's clothes were obviously much smaller on him and looked very out of place.

The look Yang Ze gave Wan Qiu was somewhat different from before.

It's like a balloon hanging in the air, floating quietly in the center of a box full of needles, and it would explode immediately if it moves even the slightest bit.

Yang Xiaoyu rarely saw Yang Ze look like this.

Yang Ze has probably been imitating Chu Jianshu since he was a child, changing his own style of doing things according to Chu Jianshu's behavior, so at least he looks steady and self-controlled.

But in reality it is not the case.

Wan Qiu's small loss this time completely exposed Yang Ze's extremely tense mental state that he had been hiding.

besides……

Wanqiu.

Wan Qiu is now in a dark world and cannot understand anything around him.

Standing on a thin wire, I have no idea what is around me.

He did not dare to move even for a moment. He stood stiff and confused, not even daring to peek.

When taking the three children back, Yang Xiaoyu sat in the front seat.

From the rearview mirror, you can see that Yang Ze is always looking at Wan Qiu.

Yang Ze's eyes were calm, and he seemed to have no reaction to anything around him.

Yang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and tried to make her tone as normal as possible: "Baby, did you buy what you wanted today?"

"Yeah." Wan Qiu responded.

"It's okay, Mommy is not angry, don't be afraid, baby."

Yang Xiaoyu heard Wan Qiu's faint response again.

It was like going back to the time when I first arrived at the Chu family.

The little snail, who had felt relaxed, was frightened and hid in its fragile shell.

Chu Yigui didn't seem to want Yang Xiaoyu to perform a one-man show, so he took the initiative to speak: "Why was brother there just now? Did he just come back?"

Wan Qiu turned his head slightly to look at Chu Yigui.

"No, I'm standing there."

Chu Yigui raised his eyebrows: "What are you standing there for?"

"It seems like there is a ghost." Wan Qiu said.

Yang Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows: "Baby, what are you talking about? How could there be a ghost?"

"Because it's pitch black and I can't see the road."

I was able to get home very quickly and the surroundings were very clear, but because it was raining heavily and it was night, everything did not look so real.

Wan Qiu had just come across information about ghosts, so he tended to overthink things if he wasn't careful.

Yang Xiaoyu also knew that Wan Qiu started to be afraid of ghosts after watching a horror movie. When he thought that it was Chu Zhang who was causing trouble, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"There are no ghosts in this world. That kid Chu Zhang..." Yang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth.

Wan Qiu felt that he might have done something wrong.

But both his brother and his mother told him that it was okay.

Wan Qiu couldn't tell.

But in the brief few seconds when he saw Yang Ze, he and his parents rushed over quickly.

The overflowing unhappiness almost drowned Wan Qiu's mouth and nose, blocking his breathing.

Wan Qiu also knew that it was not as simple as he had imagined.

His brother told him that he would explain it to him.

Wan Qiu was also waiting, waiting for time to be alone with Chu Yigui.

He wanted to know everything and wanted to get out of this predicament which was like being trapped in a thick fog to him.

However, Wan Qiu vaguely noticed that there seemed to be something different in Chu Yigui's voice than usual.

Wan Qiu watched quietly.

Chu Yigui's condition was a little strange.

He seemed more tired than usual.

In Wan Qiu's eyes, Chu Yigui is always full of energy.

But it’s different now.

At this time, Chu Yigui half closed his eyes.

Is it too late?

Are you sleepy?

Wan Qiu's hand gently touched Chu Yigui's hand.

He held Chu Yigui.

Wan Qiu saw Chu Yigui open his eyes, and could see faint red bloodshot in the whites of his eyes.

Wan Qiu likes to hold Chu Yigui's hand very much, and he will consciously hold it at any time.

But now it seems a little different.

The temperature seems to be getting higher.

Wan Qiu remembered the temperature of Chu Yigui's palms, which were always warm and dry.

But now the temperature is very high.

At this moment, Wan Qiu realized something and suddenly reached out to touch Chu Yigui's forehead.

It's scalding hot when you get it.

Perhaps it was because the light inside the car was too dim, so Wan Qiu couldn't see clearly whether there was a blush on Yigui's face.

But Wan Qiu was very sure that Chu Yigui was sick.

It was raining and snowing, and Chu Yigui was wearing thin clothes that were already soaked, and his body was corroded by the cold.

Chu Yigui stared at Wan Qiu with a faint smile on his face.

"My brother found out." Chu Yigui's voice finally revealed a little bit of uneven breathing, "I thought I covered it up well."

"What's wrong?" Yang Xiaoyu also noticed the situation in the back seat.

Chu Yigui did not let Wan Qiu speak, but said in a hoarse voice: "I caught a cold, probably with a fever."

Yang Xiaoyu was stunned and turned back: "Why didn't you say it just now?"

"It's just a cold. You'll feel much better after taking some medicine and sleeping for a night." Chu Yigui smiled and leaned back in the chair, which was rare. "It's okay, Mom. It's just a fever."

"Today..." Yang Xiaoyu opened her mouth in the front seat and said, "Mom didn't speak to you in a very nice tone. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Mom. I don't take it to heart."

Chu Yigui had a smile on his lips and closed his eyes, looking very peaceful.

Wan Qiu quietly grabbed Chu Yigui's hand and refused to let go.

Chu Yigui really didn't take Yang Xiaoyu's words to heart.

Under such circumstances, he wouldn't mind no matter what Yang Xiaoyu said.

If he had kept it secret at that time, it would have been better. He knew very well that Wan Qiu would definitely come back.

This was a planned sneak attack. He could guess Wan Qiu's thoughts, so he just had to stay quiet and pretend he knew nothing, and wait for Wan Qiu to come back.

Chu Yigui felt that this illness came at the right time.

Even if it was just an unintentional mistake.

No matter who is in the Chu family, it is not appropriate to investigate the matter of Wan Qiu sneaking away now.

His illness can divert the attention of his family a little.

It can also allow Wan Qiu to calm down a little during this period of time.

Chu Yigui felt that he was very awake now, even though his brain was constricted and painful due to the fever.

He could think about things normally, just like he always did.

But Chu Yigui clearly remembered that the moment he saw Wan Qiu was not in the room, he stopped thinking for a brief moment.

What drove him to do anything afterwards was purely instinct.

Even though it was only a short mistake, it was still a mistake.

Why is this happening?

Why does he always make mistakes in front of Wan Qiu?

Is it because he will never be able to control all of Wan Qiu's thoughts?

He simply understood Wan Qiu.

Rather than predicting him?

It was like an abyss that he couldn't gaze into.

Like the sky, it was impossible for him to measure it.

Like everything he couldn't touch.

Finally one day, he admitted that Wan Qiu was the only person who could completely influence him.

After returning to the Chu family, Butler Bai immediately brought a thermometer and a medicine box, took Chu Yigui's temperature, and gave him antipyretics and cold medicine.

Chu Yigui's temperature wasn't very high, but he definitely felt more uncomfortable than usual.

He had already taken a shower, so now he just had to go back and rest.

"Yigui, you..." Yang Xiaoyu was very worried about Chu Yigui.

Chu Yigui glanced at Wan Qiu who was standing beside him, and said to Yang Xiaoyu, "It's really late today. Usually, everyone is asleep at this time, and so are mom and dad. Go to bed."

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, as if he wanted to find Wan Qiu.

But Chu Yigui seemed to have anticipated it: "Let brother have a good sleep too."

Chu Yigui raised his eyes and met Chu Jianshu's gaze. Chu Jianshu comforted Yang Xiaoyu with a few words, also asking Yang Xiaoyu not to put too much pressure on Wan Qiu.

"Brother, it's safe here." Chu Yigui smiled and stood in front of Yang Ze. "Take a rest. Only when you have a good rest and are in good condition will your brother feel at ease."

Yang couldn't refute it.

Even when Chu Yigui was in such a bad condition, he was still worried about them.

If they continued to refuse Chu Yigui and make trouble, it would be them, the adults, who were disturbing a sick child.

They went upstairs together, Chu Yigui holding Wan Qiu's hand.

Chu Yigui stood at his own door and let go of Wan Qiu's hand.

"Have a good rest tonight. I'll also have a good sleep first. After a good rest, I can recover quickly." Chu Yigui rubbed his hair. "The dosage of the medicine the housekeeper gave me is very large. I'm starting to feel sleepy."

Chu Yigui's voice is even gentler than usual.

The hoarse voice was not intentional, he was really feeling uncomfortable.

"Sorry, fourth brother." Yang Ze's voice was a little hoarse, but it was because he was not used to not speaking for a while. He lowered his head and faced his younger brother, "Have a good rest tonight."

"Okay, second brother." Chu Yigui said.

Chu Yigui didn't hear Wan Qiu talking to him until he closed the door.

It was clear that Wan Qiu's eyes were full of concern for him, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Chu Yigui leaned against the door, not knowing why he was trying hard to listen to the sounds outside.

What will Yang Ze say to Wan Qiu?

But it never happened.

He heard nothing.

Thinking about his own behavior, Chu Yigui felt that it was very childish.

Chu Yigui discovered that without Wan Qiu's hint, he actually didn't understand Wan Qiu that well.

Lying on the bed, feeling his body getting hot, Chu Yigui also felt a little groggy.

Very sleepy.

He and others also told each other that they should get a good night's sleep and take care of their bodies tonight.

I thought I would fall into a complete sleep due to the effect of the medicine, but I didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night because of coughing.

Chu Yigui hadn't been sick for a while, and this time the cold came on very aggressively.

His brain was aching, and Chu Yigui vaguely realized that his condition was probably a little serious.

Even though they were both getting wet in the rain, Yang Ze and Wan Qiu didn't show any reaction.

Chu Yigui was a little self-deprecating when he poured himself some water. Although his physique was not as good as Yang Ze's, he didn't expect that the thin Wan Qiu would hardly get sick.

Chu Yigui didn't want to sleep. Lying down would make his brain dizzy. The warm water would make him feel better.

Lying on the sofa in dim light, Chu Yigui was wondering whether he should exercise more.

Not only morning exercises, but you can also go out for exercise in the evening.

But I wonder if his illness this time will be the same as Wan Qiu’s.

It's not because of my physical condition, but because I discovered something that shocked my spiritual world and caused the current fever.

"Brother." Chu Yigui murmured.

However, he immediately coughed a few times, and the hot feeling in his throat made him uncomfortable.

Perhaps because of his illness, Chu Yigui realized that he was more sentimental than usual.

Chu Yigui stood up and planned to find some cough medicine, but when he opened the door, he was suddenly startled.

A thin figure was outside his door, leaning against the wall beside it.

Wan Qiu seemed very sleepy too, and kept his head down quietly.

Because Chu Yigui suddenly opened the door, he suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body shuddered, and he raised his head and stared at Chu Yigui with wide eyes.

That was the look one would have when suddenly frightened.

At this moment, Chu Yigui's brain also seemed to be a little malfunctioning.

"Brother..." Chu Yigui said slowly, his eyes full of surprise.

Wan Qiu's breathing was very rapid, and it took him several tries to calm down.

Chu Yigui realized that Wan Qiu was not just frightened, but was afraid of ghosts.

Even though it was in the corridor illuminated by night lights, it was still a large passage after all. In the deserted night, his brother who was afraid of ghosts was waiting at the door.

That's why I'm leaning against the door.

That's why he curled up.

Wandering between sleepiness and fear.

"Brother..." Chu Yigui was about to say something but was interrupted.

"Shh." Wan Qiu put his index finger to his lips and whispered to Chu Yigui.

Wan Qiu stood up and carefully dragged the thermos bottle he had been holding in his arms, and pushed Chu Yigui back with his other hand.

Chu Yi yielded to Wan Qiu's strength and saw Wan Qiu secretly sticking his head out to look outside, then closing the door.

"Drink some soup, take some medicine, and get better soon, or you'll be beaten by mom and dad."

There was a hint of realization in Chu Yigui's expression.

Wan Qiu took out a bunch of medicine from his pocket.

It was pushed in front of Chu Yigui together with the thermos.

Chu Yigui looked at the medicine and asked, "Should I take so many?"
