Qu Jia didn’t know whether it was possible to fall in love at the age of eighteen, but she knew that her blood pressure almost went off the charts when Ye Kai showed up late at the dinner party.
VIP lounge.
Qu Jia lowered his voice and cursed: "Where have you been?!"
Chen Youhan said that if the elders asked, Ye Kai should confess and expose him as the main culprit. Ye Kai asked him if he was not afraid of losing points with his grandfather, who knew that people would come up with this idea. Since he was eager to take the blame, Ye Kai did not hesitate to be polite with him and said: "Chen Youhan dragged him to the flower market."
Qu Jia was stunned. He didn't know whether to scold or not. His expression was extremely interesting. Finally, he angrily slapped Ye Kai on the butt and said, "Don't play with him!"
Ms. Qu Jia, a strong woman who grew up in Canada and has an unusually tough and direct style, is basically the plus version of Ye Jin. In the entire Ye family, except for Ye Tong, she is the only one who is in charge. Chen Youhan knows that Qu Jia doesn't like him, and that's right, this is what he wants. If Qu Jia doesn't like him, then the marriage between the two families will be half done.
Ye Kai had no idea of Chen Youhan's little thoughts, so he changed his clothes and showed up at the banquet, saying that he was late because he was not feeling well. Ye Tong loved this grandson the most, so he naturally didn't say much. Only Ye Jin whispered after Ye Kai sat down, "Did you sneak out with Chen Youhan again?"
Ye Kai glanced at his sister and said, "You know it again."
While waiting for the waiter to change her bone dish, Ye Jin said nonchalantly, "I saw him running away with you."
Ye Kaixin was even more nervous. Everyone knew that he and Chen Youhan got along well, but he was not sure if Ye Jin had seen the physical details of their interactions. He pretended to be calm and drank a sip of soup, "Who knows why he suddenly went crazy."
"Where did I take you to play?"
"Flower market."
"Flower market?" Ye Jin couldn't help laughing, "You two grown men are going to the flower market? Where is Chen Youhan picking up girls?"
Ye Kai's face was hot, but he forced himself to remain calm: "He doesn't go to the flower market to pick up girls."
Usually go directly to the hotel.
Chen Youhan skipped the dinner as he wished, and was now enjoying Yutian's ultimate service in the suite. Chen Fei called seventeen or eighteen times, and Chen Youhan was afraid that the old man would lose face, so he answered one reluctantly, and even his voice was perfunctory: "Dad, um, no, I'm in the hotel. I'm not going, it's boring." Then he said impatiently, "Just say I had a rear-end car accident."
Yu Tian laughed and knocked her teeth against each other. Chen Youhan bumped her with his knee and said, "Pay attention."
Chen Fei was too embarrassed to listen, so he hung up the phone with a glare. Chen Youhan threw away the phone, grabbed Yu Tian's hair and forced him to stand up. Yu Tian had a very beautiful neck, slender and bony, connected to the two clavicles that shone pearly under the light, giving people a sense of the fragility of a beautiful woman. Chen Youhan held his neck and lingered beside his neck. Before they had been intimate for a few moments, another call came in. The phone was thrown in some corner of the quilt and vibrated. Chen Youhan endured it again and again, but the other party was particularly persistent. This persistence reminded him of Ye Kai. Maybe he was drunk at the table, or he was troubled by the elders. He patiently let go of Yu Tian with a breath, kissed her on the back, followed the vibration source and took out his phone, but the caller displayed on it was Xiaojiu.
Yu Tian lay on his back, his arm resting on his forehead and smiling frivolously: "Vic, can you do it?"
The young painter who returned from New York University gave himself a Chinese stage name, but he preferred to call others by their English names. Chen Youhan glanced at him, a little annoyed: "Why the hell are you talking so much nonsense?" He hung up the phone neatly, turned off the phone, grabbed Yu Tian's ankle and dragged him towards him: "You don't accept it, do you?"
Spring nights are always short, but they are a torture for the person waiting. Wu Sijiu listened to the other party's prompt to turn off the phone, and his thumb subconsciously rubbed the corner of the phone that was lifted up by the fall. The screen was cracked and could not withstand another fall. He curled up and buried his head in his arms. His mother was superstitious and could not bear to see tears on New Year's Day. Wu Sijiu cried silently, and his tears soon wet his pajamas. An unpleasant sob choked in his throat. He bit his lips and blood oozed out. After a while, he climbed out of bed and started to toss and turn.
His mother soon knocked on the door and said in a bad mood: "Why are you demolishing the house so late at night?"
Wu Sijiu suppressed his anger and said, "Don't worry about it!"
Lock.
The bed was gradually filled with things of all sizes, clothes, shoes, bags, perfumes, commercial paintings from galleries, various jewelry, and even a watch worth more than 300,000 yuan. Under the things were shopping bags and packaging boxes, some with logos and some without, with gold and silver stamping, all of them elegant and luxurious.
These are the gifts Chen Youhan gave him in the past two months.
Wu Sijiu lay down in the pile of clothes, slowly gathered the things in his arms, closed his eyes quietly and fell asleep.
On New Year’s Eve, every home is lit up.
Whether you are rich or poor, you will go home to celebrate the New Year. You will have to celebrate the New Year whether you are lucky or unlucky. The Ye family always has their reunion dinner at home. The unimportant servants are sent home early, leaving only a few capable people like Aunt Jia and Uncle Lu to prepare the reunion dinner. They are all decades old and are used to inviting their family members to the Ye family and reuniting in another villa.
No matter how wealthy a family is, they are just as happy as ordinary people in such occasions. Ye Kai was teased by Qu Jia, pinching his hand, just like when he was a child. Qu Jia touched his hair and pinched his bones, showing satisfaction everywhere, and said lovingly: "My dear son, it's seventeen after the New Year. Tell me what gift you want."
Ye Kai hugged her and said, "If you want mom to be healthy, smile more often and stop scolding me."
The whole family laughed together. Qu Jia couldn't do anything to him. He patted his shoulder lovingly and angrily: "If you don't play with Chen Youhan anymore, I won't scold you!"
Speaking of Chen Youhan, this is another topic. Ye Tong sat at the main table, his voice steady and joyful: "Youhan is good, although his style is a bit open, but among our friends, I think he is the best!"
It was not easy to be favored by Ye Tong. Ye Kai felt proud of it. His heart was pounding. He almost wanted to call Chen Youhan to tell him. Ye Zheng agreed, "Youhan is very good, Jiajia, what do you think?"
Qu Jia lifted up the teacup and put it on the shelf, saying slowly, "He has a lot of tricks in his mind. I'm afraid I'll get sick just by looking at him."
Qu Jia spoke in this style, and no lady in the circle dared to confront her. Of course, her battlefield was not at the tea party, but in the business world, so she never took the manners of ladies seriously. After this rebuke, the others were silent. Ye Kai choked on his tea and almost died of laughter. I don't know what others think, but Chen Youhan would probably say three words to his mother - thank you for the compliment.
Ye Zheng pinched Qu Jia under the table and asked Ye Jin, "Baby, what do you think of Youhan?"
Ye Jin had expected this question and said with a smile, "That depends on what you choose. A partner is of course good."
Ye Zheng coughed and made it clear: "What if we are partners?"
Ye Kai seemed to be held down by something. He turned to Ye Jin, his eyes wide open, waiting for Ye Jin's answer.
Ye Jin thought about it and said tactfully: "I think what mom said is quite right."
Qu Jia won, opened his arms wide and hugged Ye Jin and kissed her cheek: "Baby, you have good taste."
Ye Tong laughed cheerfully, and the scene just now became a shallow episode and was soon revealed.
After the reunion dinner, everyone had their own activities. Ye Tong watched lanterns and drank tea with old friends. Ye Zheng and Qu Jia both made appointments to play cards. Ye Jin went racing with a few girlfriends for excitement. The only one left was Ye Kai, a three-good student. Ye Kai also had an appointment, but he didn't like to join in the fun. Compared with singing, playing cards, picking up girls, and racing, he preferred listening to vinyl and reading books.
Opening the bookmark of "The Biography of Wittgenstein", Ye Kai thought about it and decided to call Chen Youhan first.
"Happy New Year." He omitted calling Youhan brother.
"So good today?" Chen Youhan's smile came through the receiver, blending into the background sound of the vinyl, making Ye Kai unable to distinguish the distant and the present. It was very noisy over there, probably at some New Year's Eve party.
"Tell me, you are so good, what gift do you want for the New Year?"
Ye Kai snorted, as if no one cared. He pushed the glasses he usually wore for reading and homework onto his forehead and said, "You can't afford what I want."
"You look down on me, don't you?" Chen Youhan separated the men and women dancing wildly by the swimming pool and walked towards a quieter side hall. "Why, is our GC bankrupt?"
Ye Kai smiled. He knew that Chen Youhan spent money like water. Those who slept with him were not only likely to fall in love with him, but also easily lost in the whirlpool of money. If a person was happy to serve him for two months, he could drive a luxury car. It was a business with little investment and high profits. He also knew that Chen Youhan could afford anything. His hobby of collecting watches was nothing in Chen Youhan's eyes. However, the most things Ye Kai received from Chen Youhan were games and electronic products. The most expensive thing he received was a pair of limited edition signed sneakers, of which there were only 3,000 pairs in the world.
He is different from those people.
They had slept together legitimately, so they could accept gifts openly.
He is not, so he can't.
"Then give me a pair of glasses, 150 for the left eye and 50 degrees for the right eye with astigmatism."
Chen Youhan almost thought he was hallucinating: "Who are you humiliating?"
"I want this. My eyesight is not good."
"Go to the hospital if your eyes are not well." Chen Youhan cursed and took note of it in his mind.
"We talked about you tonight." Ye Kai leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs on the desk.
"Really? I know it's no good just by thinking about it. You in the Ye family are all stupid and only know how to take advantage of our Chen family." Chen Youhan leaned against the windowsill and took a cigarette out of the cigarette box and put it in his mouth.
"Is that how you see us, the Ye family?" Ye Kai smiled, his posture relaxed, his heart filled with peaceful joy: "Grandpa said 'Youhan is good', even my dad praised you."
Chen Youhan squinted his eyes, puffed out a cigarette, flicked off the ash and smiled, "I'm so scared, brother, I'm shaking with fear."
"It's a pity that you got the unanimous votes against from the two ladies in our family." Then he held back his laughter and repeated Qu Jia's words.
After hearing this, Chen Youhan smiled, lowered her head and pinched the root of her nose which was sore from staying up late, and said gracefully, "Auntie, you are too kind."
Five words, more polite than he thought, and she even knew to add "Auntie".
"First, although I have many partners, my partners are all healthy, and I am also healthy."
"Second, I'm not full of tricks, I'm pure and sincere, okay?"
Ye Kai didn't know where he got the nerve to keep talking nonsense for decades, and mocked: "You'd better be."
Across the pool, a model who has become popular recently waved at Chen Youhan. She had big breasts, a wasp waist and long legs, but her face looked a little world-weary, but people said that this was called classy. Chen Youhan didn't know whether it was classy or not, he only knew that it was all based on the feel of his hands when he turned off the lights. He put out his cigarette and walked out, saying, "Okay, let's stop talking. Why are you so excited to talk to me on New Year's Day? Go out and play with your classmates."
In the two seconds before he hung up the phone, Ye Kai rushed to say, "I'm going to Vancouver the day after tomorrow. Will you take me there?"
Chen Youhan's hand that was pushing the door open paused for a moment. The model turned sideways to him, bent her knees and raised her hips in a classic American star pose, and blew him a kiss. The others were all cheering, some called him Vic, some called him Young Master Chen, and some shamelessly called Youhan brother. Chen Youhan heard it all, but the world was noisy, and it was all quieted by Ye Kai's breathing. Across the microphone, there was a faint, clean breath that seemed to carry the scent of youth.
"Send it?" Ye Kai asked softly.
Only then did Chen Youhan hear the background music from Ye Kai's side and the unique sound quality of the vinyl record, "I can't hide this love, my affection is as deep as the sea."
He grasped the glass door handle and pushed the door open, his voice disappearing in the sky full of fireworks and crazy screams—
"deliver."
