Chapter 50 You must be honest with me and don’t lie to me

With a living ancestor to back him up, Ye Man began to rest assured for the time being.

I sleep until I wake up naturally every day. When I wake up, my family members take turns driving me to the hospital, where I receive eye conditioning and treatment under the company and care of my assistant Xiao Wu.

When he came back in the evening, sitting at the dinner table, Chi's father and mother would ask him how he was, whether his eyes felt any discomfort or something.

Ye Man found that his family members came home for dinner more often recently.

When I first returned to the Chi family, there was no one at home most of the time. My eldest brother, his parents, and Chi Jue were all very busy, but unexpectedly they spent quite a lot of time at home, giving Ye Manhu the opportunity to make some noise.

Every time he made a mess, and when Ye Man returned empty-handed and calmed down, Chi Jue would sit down beside him with a sullen face and reply to emails from his tutor and messages from his partners.

Before, Ye Man usually asked Aunt Zhou to bring meals to her room.

Now he can’t do that. There are many people back home, so he has to sit at the dinner table to eat.

At first, this was a very tiring job for Ye Man.

He always had to rack his brains to act nice and please everyone, thinking about what to say to make everyone happy. After a meal, he returned to his room with a stiff smile on his face and exhausted.

If only Chi Jue was here, it would be fine. He could just put on a sour face and find fault with others as much as he wanted, saying this one didn't want to eat, that one didn't like to eat, and he would push all the food he didn't like to Chi Jue. Anyway, Aunt Zhou has been bought by him now. Aunt Zhou is now in the same group with him and promised not to complain to his parents and eldest brother. He can bully Chi Jue as much as he wants and she won't say anything.

But with his parents and elder brother present, he always wanted to pretend. Although they asked him tactfully if he was tired and told him that he didn't have to keep talking if he was tired, Ye Man always remained suspicious of these words, wondering in his heart if they were just polite words, and refused to really relax.

Xu Huaiting soon discovered that when Ye Man called him before going to bed, he became more and more listless.

He looked listless, as if all his energy had been drained out.

Intentionally or unintentionally asking: "Who bullied you? Are you in trouble again?"

Ye Man didn't know whether he should tell him about this.

Who would tell others their thoughts directly?

Ever since Brother Tong knew that he was full of tricks and had the ability to speak eloquently, he no longer believed what he said and would doubt the truth of whatever he said.

Although the living ancestor knew long ago that he was not as harmless as he looked and was quite scheming, he did not understand him as well as Brother Tong did.

Otherwise, why hasn't he taken any precautions against his words? How could he believe whatever he says?

Ye Man found that no matter how ridiculous his words were, he could always scare the other party.

If this continues, he won't have the heart to deceive him.

Maybe it was because the other party trusted him too much. Ye Man felt that if his ancestors knew that he often spoke like a train, they would definitely doubt his every word. Just thinking about it becoming like that made him feel uncomfortable.

His thoughts were like a ball of yarn, tangled around a hundred and eighty times. He hummed and moaned on the phone for a long time, and finally said gloomily, "It's nothing."

"...Xiaoman," Xu Huaiting called his name seriously, "You are lying to me."

His voice was no longer so gentle, and it sounded as if he was holding someone up in the clouds. So Ye Man came down from her dazed state.

What you fear will come true.

Ye Man's heart suddenly tightened.

"no!"

"have."

"Really not!"

"Do you think I can't do anything to you because you're far away?" Xu Huaiting's voice became even lower.

He seemed a little angry.

When he was angry, he was not fierce, nor was he the type to roar and lose his temper. He just restrained his emotions, and his voice was low and deep, as if he was harboring a storm that might come at any time, and others had no idea what the storm would look like.

Xu Huaiting: "Xiaoman, people's hearts are hidden, and everyone's words are covered with a mixture of truth and falsehood. There are many people in this world who will lie to me, but you can't lie to me, only you..." His voice became lower, as if whispering in someone's ear: "You have to be honest with me, because I don't care what those people are thinking, what they want, whether they are unhappy, sad, or injured in places I can't see... But I want to know yours."

Ye Man tightened his fingers, not quite understanding what was going on, but some strange emotions were overflowing from his heart. He had no idea what was going on, and didn't know how to respond.

Xu Huaiting continued: "You can be reserved with anyone and hide yourself from anyone, but to me... you have to tell me your feelings and your thoughts, even when you encounter troubles..."

He paused, "Why is there no sound? Are you crying?"

The heavy and tense tone suddenly dissipated, replaced by an emotion that implied helplessness and headache.

"No." Ye Man replied.

After a second, he sniffed, "But soon."

Xu Huaiting: “…”

"I can't hold you now," he had to coax, "Stop crying."

“Wuwuwuwawawa——”

Xu Huaiting: “….”

System: "......"

Whose kettle is boiling?

Ye Man had never cried so hard before!

While crying, he squeezed out intermittent words from his out-of-tune voice and told Xu Huaiting about the problems he had encountered recently.

Xu Huaiting no longer had the heart to listen to what he said, and kept coaxing him by saying "micio" left and "caro" right.

Ye Man actually didn't quite understand why he couldn't hold back, nor did he know why he cried for no reason. But he was used to controlling himself and knew that he couldn't go too far in anything. Usually, even if he acted pitiful and pitiful to others, he would control himself to a level that would just arouse people's sympathy, but not to the point that people would think he was too pitiful and psychologically unbearable, so it would be better to just close his eyes and ignore it, which would directly scare people away.

So he adjusted his mood faster than Xu Huaiting expected, and he adjusted his mood on his own without asking him to coax him.

One that is just lovable but not annoying.

This time it's not a routine, it's a completely instinctive technique.

Ye Man held the phone, his nose snorting: "Then I won't lie to you again in the future."

"But I have bad habits and I can't correct them in a short time."

Xu Huaiting breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I will supervise you. I will record every time you cheat me, and I will settle the score with you later. I will record this time first."

Does it start from now?

Ye Man asked nervously and anxiously, "How do we settle this? You can't hit me."

"Don't worry, I won't hit you." Xu Huaiting replied.

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became noisy, as if someone was walking from indoors to outdoors.

Xu Huaiting said a few more words to him, telling him not to always think about coaxing others, and to try to be more casual when eating with his family, to speak when he wanted to, and to just remain silent when he didn't want to speak, before hanging up.

Ye Man was full of doubts about this, but if he continued like this, all his brain cells would die, so he decided to give this suggestion a try.

At dawn, half asleep and half awake, the side of the bed sagged.

"Xiao Man."

He seemed to hear the voice of his living ancestor.

But how is that possible? Isn’t the other party abroad?

Ye Man opened his eyes quickly - but of course he saw nothing.

A cold embrace embraced him from behind, and Xu Huaiting's tired and hoarse voice sounded from behind: "It's me, don't be afraid."

Ye Man blinked rapidly, wondering if she was still dreaming.

"Mr. Xu...?"

"Well," Xu Huaiting hugged him from behind and held him in his arms, "I have to catch a plane in an hour and a half, so I'll hold you for a while."

Ye Man froze for a while, then her body gradually softened and she nestled into his arms.

Not true.

"Mr. Xu..."

The head buried in his neck hummed, "Ricardo."

"Well, Ricardo," Ye Man changed the address, "how did you get in?"

"Through the window."

"Isn't the window locked?" Ye Man answered in confusion.

"I broke it open," he buried his high nose deep into his neck, and as if very tired, he murmured in a dreamy voice, "I didn't break it, my technique is pretty good."

Ye Man was choked and muttered, "You can't pry open someone else's window, and...my room is on the second floor."

Isn't he afraid of falling and breaking his legs?

Xu Huaiting pulled his hand and put it on his face, "Then hit me, be good, I'll sleep first."

Ye Man retracted his fingers, thinking that he must be sure that he didn't dare to hit him.

"Brother Tong, someone climbed through my window, why didn't you call me? What if there was a criminal?"

The system doesn't know what expression to use except smiling.

Did it want to tell him that the Chi family had been protected day and night by the man in his bed, with people stationed inside and outside?

The criminals have no chance of getting in, but the old bastard has one.

The system is very depressed.

Ye Man hesitated for a while, then slowly placed her hand on the hand that was lying across her chest.

Sleepiness swept over him, and he unknowingly snuggled deeper into the arms of the person behind him and fell asleep.

I slept very deeply that night.

When he woke up, it was noon and he was the only one left in the room.

With a flick of his fingers, he touched a velvet box beside the pillow.

I opened the box and the bright red of the midday sun came into view.

"...a ruby ​​ring." the system said reluctantly.

"Left by the rude man who slept in someone else's bed so early in the morning."

Brother Tong used such a long list of adjectives that Ye Man almost couldn't react to who he was talking about.

He held the box and laughed, "My ancestor is really polite. He paid such a high price for just lending him half of the bed to sleep on."

After laughing, I felt a little guilty.

"Brother Tong, we are all friends. I want to charge people money just for staying here temporarily to rest. Isn't this too unfair?"

How can a human being do this? It's so hurtful to ask for money for such a small favor.

After a while, Ye Man said in a shy and hesitant voice: "We two should be considered friends, right?"

This can't be a purely cooperative transaction relationship, right?

His brother Tong didn't want to answer his question at all.

System: “Don’t think about it.”

"Pack up and report to the hospital."

Ye Man: “Oh.”

......

Ye Man went to the hospital more often and soon became familiar with the nurses and doctors in the hospital.

When we have nothing to do, we can sit together and chat about family matters.

When one phase of treatment was completed and the time came to arrange the next phase, he specifically mentioned that he hoped to keep Christmas Day free.

The nurse in charge of him jokingly asked: "It's Christmas, are you going to spend time with your girlfriend?"

Ye Man shook his head and answered confidently: "Go do something big."

It would have been fine if no one said anything, but once someone brought up the topic, he began to notice that many people around him were talking about Christmas.

While in the hospital, I heard someone next to me say that she had to leave work early that day and that she and her boyfriend had been planning a date for that day a month ago.

He was listening attentively, but his concentration was distracted and someone walking towards him bumped his shoulder. Immediately, someone supported him.

"Sorry to bump into you, are you okay?" It was a male voice that sounded somewhat feminine.

"Ah, I remember you. Are you the young master of the Chi family? Hello, I don't know if you have heard of me. My last name is Xu, and my name is Xu Qiting." The other party paused for a moment to give him time to think, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but you must know another person with the same last name as me, Xu. After all, you have been quite close to him recently."

"I wonder if you're interested in talking to me," the man leaned close to his ear and said, "It's about some things that Xu Huaiting doesn't dare to tell you about himself."
