Chapter 70 Be careful that he will strangle himself in his dreams...

Seeing the happy faces of the people around him, Xu Huaiting revealed a silent smile in his eyes.

Ye Man seemed to like this place very much. Xu Huaiting thought he would look at it for a while longer, but Ye Man reluctantly withdrew his gaze from afar and turned to him.

Xu Huaiting looked down at Ye Man who was struggling with his down jacket seriously, and stood there motionless, letting him torment him. Ye Man spent some time, and finally succeeded in pulling Xu Huaiting's down jacket off.

"Cold?" Xu Huaiting thought he was too cold and wanted his clothes to wear, so he was about to take them off and give them to him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Man shook her head, threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Xu Huaiting stopped taking off his clothes, looked at the person buried in his arms, and wrapped him and her tightly with his coat.

Ye Man: "Let's go back."

He put his hand against Xu Huaiting's face and it was indeed very cold.

I couldn't help but complain in my mind, this person wrapped him so tightly with such a thick scarf, and asked him to wear a hat as well, but he himself wanted to act cool by not wearing a hat or scarf.

What should I do if I catch a cold or have a fever?

Don't expect a blind man to take care of the sick.

Xu Huaiting asked him, "Will you not watch it for a while longer?"

Most people who come here want to see the aurora, but unfortunately, for ordinary people, the aurora is sometimes difficult to see clearly, and Ye Man can't see it at all. There is not much he can do here. If the weather is good, he might be able to take an icebreaker, but Ye Man is seasick, so this option can only be ruled out.

Ye Man shook his head and raised his head: "I have just memorized it. I have a good memory. Once I remember it, I will never forget it. Whenever I want to see it in the future, I can reproduce it in my mind at any time."

Xu Huaiting: "Are you a cow? You can chew the cud."

Ye Man puffed up his cheeks and said, "Isn't it amazing to be able to ruminate?"

"Amazing. But you don't have to." He half-teasingly said, "When you want to see it, ask your boyfriend and he will bring you there."

Ye Man was confused: "Can I do that?"

Xu Huaiting said casually: "No one stipulates that you can only come once. If you like, come more often, even a thousand times or ten thousand times is fine."

In Ye Man's opinion, this was simply unreasonable. He was always arguing about going somewhere, and it was a very far place. Wouldn't it annoy others? But Xu Huaiting made it sound very casual, as if it was really a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning. Ye Man didn't need to consider or worry too much and could ask him anything he wanted.

After a moment of silence, Ye Man nodded slightly in his arms.

Afraid that he didn't feel it, she nodded vigorously, "Let's do it together next time."

Xu Huaiting laughed and pinched his face: "That's right."

He pulled something out of his pocket and tore it open. "Open your mouth."

A piece of stale candy was stuffed into Ye Man's mouth. After taking a closer look, he found that it was indeed this flavor.

"Why did you bring this?"

"Didn't you recommend it? I tried it and thought it was pretty good."

"But..." But isn't he a living ancestor? Ye Man asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you bring some candy that's more appropriate for your status? The expensive kind?"

"You're still young, but you're still subject to so many rules and regulations," Xu Huaiting hugged him, leaning against the car, still looking uninterested in many things, "Do whatever you want, as long as I like it and I'm happy, isn't that enough? Life is so short, I don't want to waste even a second on unimportant things."

Ye Man didn't quite understand, she just knew that at this moment she really wanted to kiss him.

So he looked up and asked stutteringly: "I, I just ate candy, my mouth is very sweet, do you want... do you want to try it..."

Xu Huaiting's eyes narrowed slightly.

This was probably the first time that she asked for a kiss when she was not emotionally broken, and she was sober and rational, and did not regard his hug and kiss as a kind of comfort to vent her inner pain.

He just wanted him to kiss him, there was no other reason or excuse.

So my whole face was too red.

If he was rejected, he probably would never make such a request to Xu Huaiting again in his life.

Unfortunately, there was no one who could reject him at this time, and Xu Huaiting certainly couldn't do that. As he thought about it, he lowered his head, trying to figure out if it was really as sweet as he said.

......sweeter than eating sugar directly.

......

After visiting the seed bank, the two drove back to the city.

Xu Huaiting took Ye Man to a Husky coffee shop. It was freezing outside, but warm inside. Ye Man sat next to the sleepy Husky, holding a cup of coffee, hoping that time would pass more slowly.

It's a small city and you can tour it in half a day.

The system that was muttering about their date and not getting involved started nagging at Ye Man again on the way back.

System: "Forget it this time. Don't go out casually in such cold weather in the future. You really need to take care of your health..."

Ye Man nodded in response, wondering why the system had become so nagging.

When we arrived at the villa, Chi Yan was busy in the kitchen. Chi Jue and Meng Yao had not returned yet. No one knew where they had gone.

Thinking of his previous promise, Ye Man stood in front of Xu Huaiting and tremblingly repeated the prepared words to Chi Yan, which earned him a sneer from the eldest brother of the Chi family.

Although Ye Man's promise sounded nice, when it really came, he felt uneasy again.

Hearing Chi Yan walking towards them, Ye Man quickly turned around and hugged Xu Huaiting, and in the process, he sold him out. He said to Chi Yan pitifully: "Brother, he just ran in the snow with me in his arms for a long time. It's very hard to run with someone in your arms. It's very tiring, and cold."

He lowered his head in sorrow: "He's already in a terrible state, don't hit him."

Chi Yan gritted her teeth: "I won't hit him."

Ye Man immediately put away his expression and said sweetly, "Big brother is so nice."

Chi Yan glanced coldly at the man who was comfortably hiding behind her brother, and said through her teeth: "Eat."

Turn around and go get the dinner you prepared.

Ye Man turned around and quietly approached Xu Huaiting: "See, I told you it's okay."

It was as if he was not the one who felt so guilty just now.

Xu Huaiting rubbed his head, ignoring the glares from the kitchen, and said, "Thanks to you."

Later, Chi Jue and Meng Yao also came back.

The two of them were not so lucky, because they did not have Ye Man's skillful skills of pretending to be good and showing misfortune, so they were blocked at the door by Chi Yan and scolded coldly.

However, both of them had been trained by Chi Yan since they were young, so they had another level of proficiency. They mainly had a good attitude when admitting their mistakes, so that Chi Yan could not find any fault with them, and they quickly passed the test.

The system said in surprise in Ye Man's mind: "The points have increased! Host, the points have increased again, we have money again!"

Ye Man followed suit and cheered.

"This trip to the Arctic is totally worth it, Brother Tong. I feel like my luck has started to change! I've never been so happy in my life, and maybe it will get even better in the future. I was wondering, how can a person be so unlucky all the time? This is all because of you, Brother Tong is awesome!"

The system was stunned by the string of compliments that were thrown at it expertly.

Several people stayed from the third to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, planning to return to Beijing before the evening of the Lantern Festival.

There weren't that many things to do in Longyearbyen. During this trip, Ye Man not only found Brother Tong and earned enough mission points, but he also saw and played what he wanted to see. He had no regrets. When Chi Yan asked him if he wanted to stay a few more days, he replied no.

The night before the return trip.

Ye Man had been tense for several days and had played in the Arctic for a few days. He was exhausted both mentally and physically, so he went back to his room and went to bed early.

Xu Huaiting stood at the door of the villa and looked sideways at a window on the second floor that was emitting warm orange light.

At a distance, Chi Yan was standing by the door.

"What are your plans?" Chi Yan asked.

In the past, when we occasionally met, I would at least politely call him Mr. Xu, but this time I didn't even bother to address him.

Xu Huaiting crossed his arms and said, "I think it's a good idea to get married in the summer."

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people beside him in disbelief: "You have come to this point? When, so quickly? Xiaoman has already promised you——!"

Xu Huaiting said calmly: "Not yet."

Chi Yan: “…?”

Xu Huaiting: "I just plan ahead. How to pursue someone and how to propose marriage are my business. I don't think big brother can help with this kind of thing."

That really can't help... Chi Yan wanted to slap himself. No, why should he help an outsider to pursue his brother?

It's a mess.

Chi Yan rubbed his forehead and said unhappily, "Don't call me big brother. You are two months older than me. I don't deserve the title of brother."

Xu Huaiting: "Look, you, this is too formal, just call me Xiao Xu."

Chi Yan's forehead horns jumped even more vigorously.

This guy is simply a rogue.

Yes, otherwise how could he do anything to his brother?

Feeling that she was being led by the nose, Chi Yan calmed down her breath, calmed down, and said, "Then Meng Yao, what are your plans?"

After thinking about it, she still couldn't calm down, and Chi Yan got angry and cursed in her heart for a rare moment.

What's wrong with this family? Why are they being ripped off? Will this ever end?

Xu Huaiting: "His last name is Meng, and mine is Xu. We don't have the same last name. I can't interfere with their family affairs, and they can't interfere with our family affairs. I hope Mr. Chi won't mix our affairs together. I have to focus on my own lifelong happiness. Everyone lives for themselves, right?"

Chi Yan said coldly: "Wrong logic."

Xu Huaiting smiled, "I know you are worried about me. Chi Jue also said last time that he was worried that I was just playing around. If I really did that, then you in the Chi family wouldn't be able to ask me for justice for him. But, that's because you don't understand me. My family tradition is pretty good."

"You know, the only person in my relationship who played with someone else's feelings got his comeuppance and died on the way to meet his lover," he sneered. "I heard that he was hit pretty badly and died on the spot."

Chi Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Everyone knows that Xu Huaiting's father went to see his lover during his wife's death, and ended up in a car accident due to drunk driving, and died. But later, another story gradually emerged. Some people said that Xu Huaiting had tampered with the matter. He was not even an adult at the time. Although the investigation later showed that it was not the case, it still caused suspicion from the outside world.

Chi Yan didn't want to get too deeply involved in the Xu family's affairs, but it did dispel some of her doubts that the other party was just playing around.

But if the person involved in the incident involving Xu Huaiting’s father was really Xu Huaiting... then this person is a bit too dangerous.

Chi Yan looked left and right, but still felt that Xu Huaiting was not good enough.

There is another problem.

"Xiaoman's eyes," Chi Yan paused, "he is blind after all. You are in love with him now and think it doesn't matter. Everything is fine. But after living together for a long time, there will always be a lot of inconveniences. What if you get tired of this and don't want him anymore? I'm afraid he can't bear it. Xiaoman seems to like you very much."

This is the most helpless.

From Chi Yan's perspective, the Xu family is really... too big. Some of their wealth is not just about assets. If Ye Man gets hurt by Xu Huaiting, Chi Yan will be powerless to do anything about the Xu family.

This is different from Chi Jue’s situation. After all, Meng Yao has grown up with his younger brother since he was a child. What about Xu Huaiting?

Xu Huaiting didn't think there was anything wrong with Chi Yan's questioning. He just smiled quietly when he heard the other party say "Xiao Man likes you". "No wonder those old guys always like to mention you. Mr. Chi is young and thinks very comprehensively. However, it's a matter of a lifetime. I can't convince you now. In the future, Mr. Chi will understand as he watches."

"I will change my heart. In the end, I didn't love you enough from the beginning," Xu Huaiting raised his eyebrows. "I'm different. It's not true love. If I look at you one more time, it would be a waste of my life. Life is so short, how can it be wasted like this? I will only be good to the people I recognize."

Over the years, Ye Man was the only person he recognized.

Chi Yan: “…”

Not only did these words sound self-aggrandizing, but they also sounded sarcastic and contemptuous of the many other people Chi Yan had mentioned who did not take relationships seriously. No matter how you listened to them, they all sounded like they deserved a beating.

Having said that, what can Chi Yan do?

To be honest, it's nothing compared to the fact that his brother likes it. He has learned from this experience before.

Xu Huaiting said that he was young, but Chi Yan felt that he was mentally an old man now.

Chi Yan said coldly: "I hope Mr. Xu will remember what I said today."

Xu Huaiting: "Of course, even in dreams, you have to recite it twice."

Chi Yan: “Tsk.” So annoying.

After finishing what he wanted to say, he was about to go back, but Xu Huaiting suddenly said, "Mr. Chi, I have to remind you of something. You'd better keep an eye on Xiaoman after you go back this time. He has nightmares after he falls asleep. He will strangle himself in his dreams."

Chi Yan's pupils shrank, "What did you say?"

"I don't know if you have noticed this before," Xu Huaiting recalled, "I asked him about it today, but he himself doesn't know anything about it. You can't get anything out of him."

"But with his personality, it's hard to say whether he really doesn't know or is just pretending to be stupid." The two agreed to be honest, but Xu Huaiting also knew that this would not be achieved overnight, so he mentioned this possibility.

He emphasized and repeated: "You must pay more attention to this."

Chi Yan pursed her lips and finally turned around to look at the man.

Nodding carefully: "I understand."

I entered the villa with a heavy heart.
