Chapter 44: It’s raining and I’m going to go to the mountains to date Mr. Xu. You won’t abandon me…

At this time today, Chi Yan is the only one at home.

"Xiaojue has a project to finish at the company, so she will stay there tonight. Her parents have a party tonight, so they will be back late too. Please sit here and wait for me." Chi Yan took her to the sofa in the living room and sat her down, then turned around to get some hot milk.

Chi Yan was of course also busy, even the busiest one in the family. In the past, the house would definitely be empty tonight with no one at home, but now it was different.

Chi Yan leaned against the marble table and looked at the person sitting on the sofa waiting.

Someone has to stay at home.

Secretary Xiao Li immediately gave him a summary of the family's schedule for the past month. Chi Yan personally planned a scientific, reasonable, and relaxed schedule for everyone, and listed "going home to accompany Xiaoman" as one of the important things to do.

It's not impossible to hand this over to the secretary's office. It's just Chi Yan's personal hobby to do it himself.

He enjoys the feeling of arranging all these things by himself. After making the forms, planning the schedules for his family members, and keeping track of everyone's movements, the secretion of dopamine brings him great satisfaction.

If Ye Man had not been home for long and he had not yet successfully won the other party's trust, Chi Jue would have reminded him that such excessive control might cause his brother to dislike him, and Chi Yan would have applied the same model to Ye Man.

If he had heard Xiaoman personally call him before he left and say that he was going to a faraway nursing home today, instead of hearing it from Xiaowu, he would probably be in a very good mood all day and his work efficiency would increase at least five times.

But now, he couldn't even show that he knew where Xiaoman went today. Because when Xiaoman left during the day, he only told Aunt Zhou that he was going out, but didn't tell her where he was going.

Even Aunt Zhou, whom he liked, didn't know.

He couldn't know even more.

......But Xu Huaiting can know.

He even sent the person back personally.

Chi Yan slowly frowned.

Chi Jue did mention some situations, but he was still not sure.

Just now, Xu Huaiting just said casually that he was passing by and happened to meet him, so he gave him a ride back. Ye Man was still asleep at that time.

His eyes fell on the candy in Ye Man's hand, and he thought about how Ye Man had just taken the initiative to share the candy with Xu Huaiting. Although it can be said that his younger brother was well-behaved and kind, giving candy to express gratitude to the other party for sending him back was worthy of praise...

But Xiaoman never gave him any candy.

Chi Yan's frown deepened, and she looked serious as if she was thinking about a billion-dollar project of the company.

......

Ye Man clicked his watch.

"Current time: 22:32"

Ye Man couldn't judge the time from the sky, so this watch made it much more convenient. He liked it very much and never took it off since he put it on.

According to the plan, he should be home around 7pm. At this time, no one was home, and no one would know that Ye Man had gone out and returned. He did not have the habit of informing others of his itinerary when he went out, so he just told Aunt Zhou that he was going out for a walk.

I didn't expect that he actually slept in the car of his living ancestor for so long and asked Chi Yan to come out to pick him up.

The heater in the car was very comfortable, the space was very small, and the sound of the living ancestor's breathing next to him made him feel very comfortable.

But Ye Man didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply that several hours passed in a flash.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Ye Man said in annoyance.

"Who knew you could sleep so well in the car?" said the system.

No matter how good a car is, it will never be as comfortable as sleeping on a big bed. But Ye Man only chooses to sleep soundly in corners and nooks.

It was not easy for Ye Man to sleep soundly. Not to mention that Xu Huaiting was reluctant to wake him up, the system had muted him, for fear that he would accidentally make some noise and wake anyone up.

Chi Yan handed him the hot milk and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Ye Man shook her head: "I'm full."

He didn't have a big appetite and didn't even finish the bread that Xu Huaiting sent him.

Because it was delicious, he originally planned to eat more, but the ancestor's sharp eyes stopped him.

"If you can't eat, don't eat. It's not like you'll have nothing left after this meal. If you want to eat, just tell me anytime. It's always available."

In his heart, Ye Man didn't quite agree with what he said, but since his ancestor said so, he couldn't refute it, so he could only let it go reluctantly.

But I was a little curious about how his eyesight was so good, because I could tell that he couldn't eat anymore.

"Your belly is swollen."

Ye Man touched her belly, it was true.

Only then did I remember that the remaining bread was left in Xu Huaiting's car.

It should be thrown away.

Ye thought with regret.

After drinking the hot milk and warming up, Chi Yan sent him back upstairs and called Ye Man at the door.

After calling Ye Man, he didn't say anything else. The silence in the atmosphere was a little strange.

Chi Yan was thinking about how to find out his opinion of Xu Huaiting and their relationship, so that his brother would not think that he was too controlling and meddling too much, and that he was annoying. Ye Man tilted his head and tentatively took out a handful of candy from his candy bag and offered it to Chi Yan: "Brother, do you want to try this?"

Ye Man was just trying to find something to say. It was obvious that Chi Yan had never eaten such cheap candy, and he didn't seem like someone who liked to eat that kind of stuff.

He thought he would refuse.

However, Chi Yan quickly took the handful of candy from him, and her voice immediately softened by eight degrees: "Thank you, Xiaoman. By the way, the funds for your next activity have been transferred to your card. Do whatever you like. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Go to bed early tonight."

Ye Man nodded blankly.

Chi Yan walked briskly.

Ye Man was left confused.

After entering the room, I checked the balance in my account and was shocked.

The 'activity funds' used for charity have doubled compared to the last time.

Ye Man swallowed his saliva, his hands trembled a little, and after being excited, he felt a little regretful.

I wish I could take all this money with me when I leave in the future.

After all, this money cannot be taken away. Ye Man thought about it and silently transferred some money to the account he had transferred money to before.

The other party responded quickly.

"It's good to be a rich young master. You'll have so much money that you won't be able to spend it all."

Ye Man held up her phone and replied, "Winter is coming soon. Remember to buy more thick clothes for the children in the orphanage. The Chinese New Year is just a few months away. Remember to buy new clothes for them in advance. Everyone should buy new clothes. Don't let them wear old clothes during the Chinese New Year. The weather is cold and the heating in the orphanage is not good. Don't be reluctant to turn on the electric heater."

"Got it. When do you plan to come over and take a look?"

Ye Man touched his eyes and replied, "I won't go there for now."

I won't be able to help if I go, and he might even cause trouble for others in his current state, so I'd better forget it.

System: "Host, I saw you transferring money to this person last time. Who is that person? Didn't you say last time that you would tell me what was going on?"

"He's just a very enthusiastic person," Ye Man said, "It's not a very important matter. It has nothing to do with the Chi family or the mission. I've been busy with the mission and haven't found the time. After this mission is over, I'll be free. If you still want to know, I'll tell you in detail."

After saying this, Ye Man's expression became serious.

With a gloomy face, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Tong, we must not fail again this time. I have never failed in my life, but I have repeatedly failed because of Chi Jue. He really deserves to be the protagonist."

System: "...He is really amazing."

Thinking of his constant failures, Ye Man speculated darkly with inferiority complex: "Brother Tong, if the other vicious cannon fodders knew about this, would they gather together behind my back and attack me, saying that I am not worthy of Brother Tong's position as his legitimate host?"

The system smiled.

It didn't say anything, and Ye Man immediately gritted his teeth with sensitivity: "I will make them look at me with new eyes sooner or later!"

He recently made up a few short dramas urgently. He is no longer the same person he used to be. He is now a pro max version that has undergone further training.

The system opened the storybook folder and said calmly: "Host, remember to brush your teeth."

Ye Man put away his sinister and evil side and climbed down from the bed: "Oh, okay, I'll go now."

......

Ye Man had been secretly observing Chi Jue for the past few days, and indeed, there was something wrong with him. Sometimes, when he was talking to him, he would suddenly lose his focus.

On the agreed day, Xu Huaiting came to pick up Ye Man as agreed.

In order to avoid being noticed by Chi Jue, Ye Man decided to go up the mountain and ambush before Chi Jue and the others.

Originally, he wanted to take Xiao Wu with him, but thinking that he had a living ancestor anyway, if he went out to do bad things, the more people there were, the more risk of being exposed, so Ye Man simply gave Xiao Wu a day off.

When he went out, he deliberately told Aunt Zhou and the others that he was going out to play with his friends today.

He turned around and sneaked into Xu Huaiting's car.

Ye Man was very aware that he was going to do something bad, so he wore a duckbill cap and grabbed a pair of glasses from the closet before leaving to disguise himself.

"I've made a guide," Ye Man lowered his voice and approached in a conspiratorial tone, "The car can only drive to the parking lot halfway up the mountain, and we have to walk up the road behind."

At this point, he tugged at his clothes and said sheepishly, "I might have to trouble you when the time comes."

The hair flying out from under the brim of the hat was swaying happily in front of Xu Huaiting's eyes, and the metal frame of the glasses was shining brightly in the sunlight.

Xu Huaiting's Adam's apple rolled and he looked away, but then remembered that he couldn't see, so he turned back.

"No trouble."

Should I carry it on my back or hug it?

Ye Man: "Remember to lead me when the time comes."

Xu Huaiting: "......Yeah."

Okay.

The journey takes a total of one and a half hours.

The Ye Man guide is very detailed.

He said excitedly: "The search software said that this month's Red Maple Mountain, looking down from the top of the mountain, the whole mountain is red, it's so beautiful!"

Xu Huaiting: "Drive there and climb to the top of the mountain. You can catch the sunset and it will be even more beautiful. I brought a drawing board and I can teach you to draw."

He had taught him to draw Zheng Min's face before, and it was a good way to help a little blind boy understand graphics.

Ye Man cheered happily.

After cheering, I felt something was wrong.

He turned his head, put on a stern face, and seriously corrected Xu Huaiting: "We are going to do serious work, not to go on a picnic."

Xu Huaiting glanced at him and smiled silently.

The car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Man opened his eyes in a daze, thinking he had reached his destination.

But then I heard Xu Huaiting say, "There's a supermarket here. I'm going to buy some food. Is there anything you want?"

"It will be all right......"

Faintly, something warm touched his face. "Wait for me in the car."

Ye Man nodded.

Hearing the sound of Xu Huaiting unbuckled his seat belt and opened the car door, Ye Man was suddenly startled and immediately woke up. He quickly grabbed the corner of Xu Huaiting's clothes.

Xu Huaiting turned around to look at him. Ye Man didn't seem to have figured out why he had arrested him. After a moment of silence, Xu Huaiting heard his voice, so small that it was almost inaudible: "I don't want to stay here alone."

He looked a little uneasy.

I said anxiously, "I...I want to go with you."

Xu Huaiting just looked at him like this, his eyes flashed, and his heart softened in an instant.

I handed him the cane and pulled his clothes for him: "It's drizzling outside. It's a bit cold."

I walked around to the other side, opened the car door, and stretched out my arm to him for him to hold: "Let's go."

Ye Man nodded vigorously.

My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

The cool drizzle outside made me sober up a little.

It's raining?

I don't know if God is against him.

Xu Huaiting was carrying a big bag of food in his hand. Ye Man, as a weak little blind man, was only responsible for holding the blind stick and his arm. The two came out of the supermarket and stood under the eaves at the door, speechless at the heavy rain that was pouring down.

Ye Man pinched his palms and stamped his feet angrily: "Are Chi Jue and Meng Yao crazy? They went to the mountains to have a date in the heavy rain?"

Hearing this, Xu Huaiting looked at him silently.

"Then...or go home?"

Ye Man wiped the raindrops that splashed onto his face with the back of his hand, "Go! Now that you're here!"

Thinking of the fact that he had a living ancestor by his side, it would be fine if he suffered himself, but he also wanted someone to suffer with him.

Ye Man's expression changed, from ferocious to weak and pitiful. His eyes were red, and he carefully pulled Xu Huaiting's hand, choking with sobs: "Mr. Xu, I'm so scared to be alone. You, you won't leave me, right?"
