As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Fengyi clearly saw his son excitedly poking a hole in the tower.

He understood what was going on, so he began to deliberately misinterpret Yan Zixiu's words.

Jing Fengyi stepped forward and patted Yan Zixiu on the shoulder, then said earnestly: "Xiao Xiu, although your mother and I hope you and Xiao Ci are together, that is a thing of the past. You don't have to pretend to like him for us."

"I didn't..."

Yan Zixiu wanted to deny it, but Jing Fengyi didn't even give him a chance to finish his words, "In fact, if you don't stay with him, you can still marry the son of the Jing family. Xiaobao likes you so much, and your appearance won't age. Then when he comes of age, you two can get engaged right away."

Jing Fengyi's previous words made Yan Zixiu just anxious, but this sentence instantly gave him a sense of horror.

"I, I and Xiao..."

"Dad!!"

Jing Shaoci shouted loudly, as if there was a mortar in his throat.

But Jing Fengyi said calmly: "Xiaoci, be nicer to your sister-in-law in the future, we are all family."

As the saying goes, ginger is still spicy with age, and the three words "sister-in-law" can completely poke someone into a sieve.

Jing Shaoci's anger had reached its peak at this time, but he couldn't get angry with Jing Fengyi, so he had to pull Yan Zixiu up and strode upstairs.

Seeing this, Jing Fengyi said without hesitation: "Xiaoci, Xiaoxiu is now your sister-in-law, remember to avoid suspicion between the two of you."

Xie Wanxin bit her lips hard on the side, because if she didn't do this, she would probably have laughed out loud.

After Jing Shaoci pulled Yan Zixiu back to the room, he immediately said in an extremely angrily: "Stay away from Xiaobao in the future and don't hug him anymore!!"

Yan Zixiu frowned and said: "Then you are being unreasonable. I always treat him as my own brother."

"Why didn't you say this in front of our parents just now?" Jing Shaoci yelled.

Yan Zixiu said helplessly: "My father didn't give me a chance to speak. Besides, the engagement was definitely a joke. Who would take it seriously?"

Jing Shaoci was instantly touched on the pain point when he heard this, and he said angrily: "I see you want to take it seriously! Don't you want to marry into the Jing family wholeheartedly?!"

Yan Zixiu suddenly tightened his face and said in a very serious expression: "Xiaobao is only four years old. There must be a limit to your nonsense."

Jing Shaoci didn't expect that Yan Zixiu not only did not explain seriously, but also scolded him. He immediately became furious and sneered: "What if I have no limit? Do you still want to find your little husband to support you?"

Yan Zixiu narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to teach the little bitter melon a lesson.

So he sneered and said, "You're right, I'll go find him now."

After that, Yan Zixiu immediately turned around and walked out the door, and Jing Shaoci didn't have time to stop him.

"Don't go!"

Late at night, the two of them chased each other in the corridor of Jing's house, and the scene looked both weird and harmonious.

"Yan Zixiu, stop right there!"

Yan Zixiu completely ignored his words and ran faster and faster.

Xie Chongyun was still awake, and the moment Yan Zixiu pushed the door, he was scared like a hamster's frightened expression.

Seeing him showing his little front teeth, Yan Zixiu immediately stepped forward and picked him up.

The next second, Jing Shaoci's tall figure appeared at the door.

"Put Xiaobao down for me."

Yan Zixiu turned around and said in a tough tone, "No."

Jing Shaoci clenched his back teeth and walked over.

"Yan Zixiu, don't go too far."

"You are the one who went too far."

"What did you say to me just now?!"

"What I said just now doesn't count. Anyway, I am a person who goes back on my word in your eyes."

Listening to the sound of the two quarreling, Xie Chongyun's eyes were filled with tears.

"Big brother, second brother, don't quarrel, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Chongyun burst into tears.

Yan Zixiu and Jing Shaoci stopped talking instantly. The former gently bumped his little butt and coaxed him in a gentle voice, and the latter wanted to pull his little hand in frustration, but was ruthlessly rejected.

After a while, Jing Fengyi and Xie Wanxin also came in after hearing the noise, and then took Xie Chongyun over.

"Dad, Mom, I was wrong about this." Yan Zixiu still took the initiative to admit his mistakes as before.

"It's okay." Xie Wanxin said gently, "Look, Xiaobao is no longer crying."

Xie Chongyun was no longer crying, but was just hiccuping.

Jing Fengyi glanced at Jing Shaoci, then turned to Xie Chongyun and said, "Xiaobao, do you want to be with your second brother forever?"

Jing Shaoci's fingers hanging at his side suddenly clenched, and the knuckles turned pale with force.

Xiaobao didn't understand what his father meant by this, and just sniffed.

"In the future, your second brother will coax you to sleep, eat with you, and always accompany you. Are you willing?"

Xie Chongyun understood this time and replied loudly: "Yes!"

"He is willing, but I am not!"

Jing Shaoci could no longer hold back his temper. After saying this, he looked directly at Yan Zixiu and said, "Will you come with me?"

Yan Zixiu stretched out his hand and opened his palm. Jing Shaoci grabbed it and pulled him out.

This time when he returned to the room, Jing Shaoci did not quarrel with him again. After all, he had been embarrassed enough.

He let go of Yan Zixiu's hand, then took out a set of pajamas from the cloakroom and threw it to him.

"Go take a shower."

Yan Zixiu glanced at him, then took the pajamas and went to the bathroom.

When he came out, Jing Shaoci had already finished his shower and was lying on the bed with his back to him.

Yan Zixiu hesitated for a moment and walked towards the sofa.

Jing Shaoci heard the bathroom door open and immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel Yan Zixiu get on the bed. As a result, when he looked up, he was already sleeping on the sofa.

Jing Shaoci turned over and got out of bed, and walked over barefoot.

"Yan Zixiu, this sofa is very expensive, get up."

Yan Zixiu sat up, looked up at him and said, "Then I'll sleep on the floor..."

"Did I let you express your opinion?"

Yan Zixiu lowered his head and said nothing.

Jing Shaoci looked at him like this, suppressed his temper and said, "Go to bed."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

After Yan Zixiu lay on the bed, Jing Shaoci raised his hand to turn off the light.

The two lay back to back, and no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing Shaoci's low voice rang, "Yan Zixiu, let's not talk about the previous life, have you ever lied to me in this life."

Yan Zixiu opened his eyes, but did not speak at the first time. It was not

until Jing Shaoci turned around anxiously that he said, "Yes."

Jing Shaoci's breathing stagnated, and his eyes were full of throbbing pain.

"When we just got divorced, you saw me secretly picking up food for you." Yan Zixiu's voice paused, "Actually, it was because that piece of tender bamboo shoots fell on the table, and I didn't want to waste it."

Jing Shaoci's face turned from sadness to black, and he blended directly into the night.

Yan Zixiu turned over, then pursed his lips and said, "And the salvation fee is not that expensive. I deliberately raised the price because I saw that you have money."

Jing Shaoci took a deep breath and told himself to bear it.

Yan Zixiu's hands were picking at the bed sheet, and he whispered, "It was your birthday in the first year of your divorce. When you woke up the next day after getting drunk, did your lower back hurt?"

Jing Shaoci suddenly widened his eyes, "What's wrong with you..."

"Well, I kicked you."

Jing Shaoci almost laughed out of anger on the spot. Could it be that he had been imagining all these things before?

He still tried to hold back and asked again, "Anything else?"

Yan Zixiu lowered his eyes, and after a while he whispered, "And you asked me if it hurt before, and every time... I felt pain."

Jing Shaoci's clenched hands loosened at once, and his chest was blocked and painful.

Yan Zixiu tentatively touched his arm and asked, "Are you angry with me?"

Jing Shaoci did not say anything sarcastic this time, and replied, "No."

Yan Zixiu breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was no longer tense.

Although Jing Shaoci said this, he still pushed Yan Zixiu's hand away.

"How long do you plan to let Duan Shaoheng live in your house?"

Yan Zixiu withdrew his hand disappointedly and replied, "He will move out when he finds a house."

Jing Shaoci snorted coldly and said in an extremely unhappy tone, "His father has three biotech companies under his name. Do you think he can't even find a house?"

Yan Zixiu was slightly surprised, "Have you checked him?"

"Don't you know how to read faces? Can't you tell that his family is rich?" Jing Shaoci said sarcastically.

"It's just someone else, I didn't look closely."

Jing Shaoci took advantage of the lights being turned off so Yan Zixiu couldn't see and quickly raised the corner of his lip, but still said stubbornly: "If your little lover hears this, he will probably be sad."

Yan Zixiu stopped talking when he heard him talking nonsense again.

"You feel sorry for him, so you don't plan to let him move?" Jing Shaoci said deliberately.

Yan Zixiu sighed in his heart, "Why should I feel sorry for him? If you are dissatisfied, I will go back and tell him."

Jing Shaoci sneered, "What does it have to do with me." Yan Zixiu

didn't know what to say, so he just hummed lightly.

Hearing that he had no more to say, Jing Shaoci suddenly became extremely depressed and could not help but

said in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to sleep on the bed, you have to sleep on the sofa." This time Yan Zixiu did not listen to him, but closed his eyes and said: "No."

Jing Shaoci suddenly got up and turned on the light, questioning: "Why don't you go?"

"The sofa is expensive, and I can't afford to pay for it if you sleep badly."

Jing Shaoci gritted his teeth and said: "I won't let you pay."

"I still don't go." Yan Zixiu opened his eyes, sat up and looked at him and said: "I want to sleep with you."

Seeing that the arc of his lips was about to get out of control, Jing Shaoci forced himself to turn his head away, still in a chilly tone: "You want to sleep with me, and this is your attitude?"

Yan Zixiu leaned over and asked in confusion: "Am I unfriendly?"

"As soon as you got on the bed, you turned over and lay down. It's almost written on your face that I forced you." Jing Shaoci said unhappily.

"I'm not unwilling..." Yan Zixiu knew that it was useless to explain, so he changed his words and said: "Then I, hold you to sleep?"

"Yan Zixiu!!" Jing Shaoci's face turned red with anger, "You can't kill me in this life, so you want to piss me off to death?"

Seeing the expression on Yan Zixiu's face freeze in an instant, he realized that he had said the wrong thing again.

The atmosphere, which had been eased, fell into a dilemma again.

Yan Zixiu lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he whispered: "I never thought of killing you."

Jing Shaoci moved his fingers and remained silent.

"I know you..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Shaoci suddenly hugged him into his arms, and then the two fell stiffly on the bed.

"Got it, go to sleep."

Yan Zixiu raised his head and wanted to say something, but Jing Shaoci pressed the back of his head and buried it in his shoulder, saying, "Don't talk."

Yan Zixiu felt as if he had eaten a chocolate cone, so sweet that he couldn't help but smile.

He put his arm on Jing Shaoci's waist and stopped talking.

Jing Shaoci's heart was pounding violently. He didn't want Yan Zixiu to hear it, but he was reluctant to let go of the person in his arms.

He forced himself to ignore this embarrassing feeling, and his mind began to wander.

As he thought about it, he turned into a dead end again.

"I found that you attract bees and butterflies, and they all attract young people who like you."

Yan Zixiu raised his head slightly, looked at him and blinked.

Jing Shaoci lowered his eyes and looked at him, and said coldly: "Are you feeling guilty? Why don't you speak?"

Yan Zixiu raised his hand and pointed at him, and Jing Shaoci finally responded.

"You can speak now."

As a result, the first sentence he said was a critical blow to him, "Don't care about others, you are older."

Yan Zixiu originally said this to coax Jing Shaoci, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to get even angrier after hearing it.

"Yan Zixiu, are you complaining about my age now?"

Yan Zixiu immediately shook his head, "No, you are not old at all."

Jing Shaoci's expression still did not improve, and he continued to question: "Then what do you think Duan Shaoheng looks like?"

"He can be a star, of course..."

Yan Zixiu, who never lied, suddenly had alarm bells in his heart, and he forced himself to change the second half of the sentence, "Of course no matter how handsome he is, he is not as good-looking as you."

This answer barely calmed Jing Shaoci's anger.

He tightened his arms around the other person and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that he likes you?"

Yan Zixiu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Maybe it's just a momentary admiration, not real love. The two are easy to confuse."

"Heh, that brat's eyes are not right when he looks at you. When he sees you..."

Jing Shaoci realized that if he continued to talk, it would only boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, so he stopped talking.

When he was silent, he suddenly realized that he had lived two lives and never asked a question.

So Jing Shaoci cleared his throat and asked seriously: "Yan Zixiu, answer honestly, what type do you like in your heart?"

Hearing this, Yan Zixiu rubbed his shoulder gently and said: "Reporters have asked me this question many times."

Jing Shaoci felt inexplicably nervous, "Then how did you answer?"

Yan Zixiu raised the corners of his lips slightly and said: "Every time I am asked this question, I start to describe you."

His voice was very soft, but every word struck Jing Shaoci's heart hard.

"Everything about you represents my heartbeat. The person I choose can never be replaced."

After saying this, Yan Zixiu stood up and looked him in the eyes and said, "I am not saying these words to make up for anything. I don't owe you anything."

"Jing Shaoci, from the beginning to now, I just want to love you seriously."
