Chapter 69: Pick him up and run. Don't be afraid. The "hostage" comforted him. ...
Xu Huaiting took some time to figure out Ye Man's train of thought.
I was speechless for a moment, but after a moment I couldn't help laughing.
He squatted in front of the boy, staring at the man leaning towards him. In order to let Ye Man sleep comfortably, only a dim floor lamp was turned on in the living room, and the soft light outlined the boy's beautiful outline.
Maybe he looked very serious when he spoke, Xu Huaiting thought casually.
He couldn't help but think seriously about what he said, reciting each word in his mind, and felt his heartstrings being plucked more and more.
He flicked Ye Man's forehead with his finger, and amid the other's unhappy groan, he said: "Even if I really become a pauper one day, I will still have a way to make a lot of money to support you. Just keep your little treasury for yourself."
Having said that, Xu Huaiting still took the key from the other party and put it carefully in his arms.
Because when he received the key, the boy's beaming with pride was very interesting, of course, more importantly, it was because it was a token of his love.
Ye Man said that she would never abandon him no matter what the circumstances.
He must love him very much.
He is really nice.
Xu Huaiting's heart was about to melt. He couldn't help but hold Ye Man's hand on his knees, lowered his head, and kissed his palm lovingly, "Tesoro mio."
I don't know where Ye Man came to the conclusion that he is a love-brained person... He is not his stupid nephew who doesn't know how to use his rusty brain for eight million years. Xu Huaiting always makes judgments when he is sober.
He just decided to love someone after rational thinking. He just likes him very much. How can this be called love brain?
But when Ye Man said this, he was also expressing his love for him.
So Xu Huaiting decided to ignore the other party's tone that was like caring for a fool.
Ye Man: "Tai...?"
"Te...so...ro..." Xu Huaiting taught him syllable by syllable.
"Teso...ro?"
"Yeah. Say it again."
"Tesoro... huh?"
Someone poked his face with a finger, and he heard Xu Huaiting respond with a smile.
Just when she was about to ask him what he meant, the sound of deliberately heavier footsteps came from the stairs, and Ye Man immediately sat up straight with tension.
System: "Why are you doing this secretly? You are in love, not having an affair."
Ye Man suddenly realized: "...Yes."
System: “Are you still right?”
Ye Man: "It's not that they don't know yet, I don't know how to say it..."
It will take him a while to get rid of this bad habit. He habitually considers a lot of situations and is always worried about many things, which makes him feel timid and cowardly about some things.
But his ancestors never forced him.
Ye Man could feel that his living ancestor was just accompanying him, waiting for him patiently, and was not angry at all for hiding the fact between them.
He couldn't help but cling to the hem of Xu Huaiting's clothes.
The footsteps upstairs stopped for a while before they came down.
Chi Jue said with a fake smile: "The weather has cleared up, and my brother said he would take us out for a walk."
In fact, the original words were for him to call Xiaoman, and Chi Yan would drive them around the city. Outside the city was the habitat of polar bears. Although they could hire a guide in the city and there were gun shops in the city that allowed them to take guns out of the city, they couldn't get too close. The color of the polar bears was something Ye Man couldn't see with his eyesight. If a polar bear really attacked, people who didn't use guns often might miss the target. The risk was too high. Chi Yan felt that there was no need to take the risk and it was enough to just walk around the city.
They actually have someone here who is good with guns and has a lot of practical experience. His on-the-spot reaction is definitely sufficient, but Chi Yan doesn't want to take him with him.
Chi Jue is more tactful than Chi Yan, and he embellished the story a bit when he recounted it.
Some preparations had to be made before going out, so Ye Man changed into thicker clothes and put on a very long down jacket on the outside.
When he gathered at the door, Xu Huaiting was already waiting there, and Chi Yan, Chi Jue and Meng Yao also arrived at the door a step behind. Chi Jue was just thinking of finding an excuse to send Xu Huaiting and Meng Yao away so that he and his elder brother could take Xiaoman ahead. As for the Xu and Meng people, let them play by themselves.
Before he could say anything, Xu Huaiting asked, "Xiaoman, where is your scarf?"
Ye Man touched his neck and replied, "It fell in the room. No need to take it. Let's leave it like this."
Chi Yan frowned and glanced at Ye Man: "It's windy outside, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
Although Chi Yan and Chi Jue also wore down jackets without hats, scarves or gloves, Chi Yan was quite persistent about wearing Ye Man Wrap.
Ye Man had happily gone out to sea in Zhonghai before, but ended up being sick for several days, which indeed left a deep shadow on Chi Yan and Chi Jue.
After that, they were both afraid that if they didn't pay attention, Ye Man would get sick again and suffer. His small body couldn't stand such torture.
Chi Yan gave Chi Jue a look, asking him to stay and watch, and then she turned around and went upstairs.
Xiaoman loved to stick with Xu Huaiting and didn't want to spoil his fun. In the spirit of going out to play is to make people happy, Chi Yan didn't excessively prevent them from being together.
But I couldn't just ignore it. I was still a little worried and couldn't help but secretly watch it. I couldn't watch it myself, so I had to ask Chi Jue to keep an eye on it.
After Chi Yan left, Xu Huaiting was leisurely fixing Ye Man's collar. Suddenly, Ye Man heard Xu Huaiting whisper to him, "Hold my neck."
Ye Man subconsciously did as he said.
The body suddenly becomes empty.
Chi Jue and Meng Yao opened their eyes and mouths at the same time, making sounds of shock that almost made them speechless.
Xu Huaiting put his arms around Ye Man's waist and lifted him up. Then, in front of everyone's confused expressions, including Ye Man himself, he picked him up and ran out at lightning speed.
Ye Man hugged his neck tightly. As he was in the air, he instinctively wrapped his legs around Xu Huaiting's waist to prevent him from falling. The cold wind whistled past his ears. He listened blankly to Chi Jue's voice getting farther and farther away. All he could hear was Xu Huaiting's heartbeat and breathing.
Chi Jue stretched out his hand blankly, "Wait——" before he could finish his words, the person had disappeared.
He just stared dumbfoundedly at the man who carried his brother away like a bandit and disappeared into the night.
Only a lingering sentence remained in the air: "We have a date and will be back later."
He even held a living person in his arms and climbed over the wall with one hand.
The remaining two young people were stunned and their world was shaken.
Chi Jue's lips trembled: "How could he do this... How could he do this..."
Meng Yao: “…”
Meng Yao turned around and said, "Listen to my explanation. Isn't everyone in our family like him?"
I felt a burst of bitterness in my heart.
My dear uncle, can't you just pretend a little more? You are really cheating me!
"But don't worry, he will definitely send his brother back to you safely." Meng Yao tried to pull back the shattered impression points.
They had seen the two of them getting along these days, and anyone with eyes could see something. Besides, Meng Yao and Chi Jue had been following them secretly and knew everything. It was just a date!
The sound of Chi Yan's footsteps came from upstairs, and Chi Jue's body became even stiffer.
Meng Yao suddenly heard Chi Jue say to him: "Let's run too."
Meng Yao: “! Really?”
Chi Jue ran away without saying a word.
When Chi Yan came down with the scarf in her hand, she was facing an empty villa entrance.
The door was open and a cold breeze blew in.
Chi Yan: “…”
Chi Yan: “Haha.”
My temples were throbbing.
His two younger brothers were very well behaved, but now they have been corrupted.
Really great.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, then picked up the newspaper on the table and began to read it expressionlessly.
Have fun, have fun, when you've had enough you have to go home.
I'll slowly settle accounts with these troublesome people when the time comes.
......
Longyearbyen is very small and many places in the city can be reached on foot. The seed bank is a little further away, but not too far.
Not long after running away from the villa, Xu Huaiting changed his position from hugging her from the front to holding her horizontally in his arms.
Ye Man was held like this by him, and couldn't help asking him: "Are you tired? I can get down and walk by myself."
Xu Huaiting tossed him in his arms and said, "It's not tiring. It's convenient to hold me like this. Just hold the cane tight."
There is a noose on the blind stick. Normally, the blind stick can be shortened to the length of the forearm and worn on the wrist. Just now, Ye Man hung it on his hand while hugging Xu Huaiting, and this time he held the blind stick in his arms.
Although the sky had cleared up, the snowstorm in the Arctic was still very strong, so Ye Man quietly buried her face in Xu Huaiting's arms to avoid the wind.
Entering the polar night in Longyearbyen was terrifying for him. The whole world was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell east from west. The roads were covered in snow, and it was impossible to find the way, not to mention the blind path. It was terrifying just to think about it.
So Ye Man didn't really want to get down and walk by himself, but he felt embarrassed to be held by his living ancestor all the time.
He squeezed into his arms again.
This is the only way to calm his panic and make him feel at ease.
"When we get back later, I will help you talk to my brother. Don't be afraid."
Xu Huaiting robbed him and ran away, but the one who was robbed now comforted him and told him not to be afraid.
Although Xu Huaiting had never worried about this, at most he would go back and get beaten up by his elder brother to vent his anger. Who asked him to brazenly snatch someone else's younger brother? He accepted the beatings and scoldings, and he would dare to do it again next time. But for a moment, he was still touched by the cuteness of the person in his arms.
The other party also used the tone of a petty thief to teach him how to collude with others in advance: "Just say that I asked you to bring me out. If Big Brother gets angry, he will scold me." After saying that, the person in his arms rubbed his chest happily and said proudly: "But Big Brother won't scold me."
So neither of them needs to be scolded. How smart! Hehe!
As for Chi Jue, how could he dare to be mean to him? Did he expect to suffer the consequences in the next few days?
His chest was shaking uncontrollably, and Xu Huaiting couldn't help laughing: "It all depends on you, you have to protect me."
Ye Man: “No problem.”
"......Then you have to hold me for a while longer."
Only then will the true purpose be revealed.
In order to prepare for the possibility that someone would plead for him when he returned later, Xu Huaiting had to hold him tighter.
After finding a store and dropping the person off, Xu Huaiting went in to buy a new scarf for Ye Man to wear, and then went to a local to rent a car.
At first the man was reluctant to rent the car to them, but eventually he succumbed to the financial offer and happily handed over the car keys, enthusiastically asking if they needed a guide.
Xu Huaiting had done his homework in advance, and the place he was going to was not far away, so he drove in a straight line and rejected the other party.
Listening to Xu Huaiting's description of the seed bank, Ye Man became very excited on the way.
The car stopped at a suitable viewing point and the two men got out.
When a bright and vibrant green light lit up in the darkness, Ye Man's heart was filled with inexplicable emotions. To him, it was like the only light that lit up in the dark world at the end of the world, and Xu Huaiting led him closer to the light.
Ye Man was fascinated by what he saw.
He didn't know that the person next to him was leaning against the car, staring at his profile.
