"People do change, but they can't become so big in just one day, right?"
Qi Siyuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. He turned his head and looked at Liu Shen deeply. There was always a smile in his eyes, just like a dog trying to please someone.
Liu Shen pretended to frown, "Are you doubting me?"
Qi Siyuan looked away, looked at the swimming pool in front of him, took the red wine glass, and poured the wine into the pool. "No, I just think you have been too cautious in the past few years."
Liu Shen asked without any emotion, "Wouldn't it be better to be more cautious?"
Qi Siyuan, "There's nothing wrong with being cautious, but Liu Shen, why am I increasingly unable to understand you?"
Qi Siyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Shen. He hunched his back, his eyes were bent, and wrinkles appeared all around his eyes.
Seeing Liu Shen now, Qi Siyuan can't remember at all how high-spirited he was when he was young.
I always feel that after that day, Liu Shen became more earnest and cunning.
Every time he asked, Liu Shen would say, "I have died once."
Now Liu Shen is also saying the same thing, "Sir, after all, I have died once, and my worthless life is still alive thanks to you."
"That's right. Back then, you and Tang Ju were both seriously injured for me. It was obvious that Tang Ju's injury was less serious, but I insisted on asking that miracle doctor to save you. Fortunately, your blood type was compatible with Tang Ju's, and you were able to survive by drawing his blood. It's not because of me that you are alive today, but because Tang Ju sacrificed his life in exchange for mine."
For some reason Qi Siyuan suddenly brought up what happened that day.
The light in Liu Shen's eyes dimmed for a moment. When Qi Siyuan turned around, the corners of his mouth immediately curved up, and he said with a fake smile: "That's because the master chose me. Liu Shen is willing to die for the master."
Qi Siyuan looked at him deeply for a long time, then he said, "Liu Shen, are you tired of living?"
Liu Shen suppressed the smile on his face and said, "How can one not be tired in life?"

Today, a distinguished guest came to Jingxuan Yayuan.
She was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a snow-white long-haired cat in her arms. Her hands were gently stroking the cat's skin again and again.
The cat squinted its eyes comfortably and lay quietly in Chen Jing's arms.
Lu Huaichen sat opposite her, not saying a word, just looking at Chen Jing silently.
Chen Jing didn't have much to talk about with him. She came to see Tang Muyan.
Tang Muyan also sat very still, and would paint for at least four hours at a time without even drinking water.
It was almost time for lunch, so Tang Muyan stretched her body and went downstairs.
She walked down the stairs slowly, opened her eyes blearily, and was greeted by Chen Jing's smiling face.
She was surprised, "Mom, when did you come?"
Chen Jing put the cat on the sofa, walked over and took Tang Muyan's arm, and said jokingly, "From the look of you, you don't want me to come."
Tang Muyan also smiled with her eyes bent, her words softened, and she said coquettishly, "I'm just a little surprised to see you so happy."
She stuck out her tongue.
She has been too tired recently and is too busy to handle just one animation. The deadline given by Lu Huaichen is still two months away, and there is still a lot of things to be drawn.
Coupled with the news about Tang Zheng and Tang Jue coming one after another, she really couldn't bear it.
Chen Jing pinched Tang Muyan's little face and said, "I heard that you are very busy recently. Will it bother you if mom comes here?"
Tang Muyan shook her head, sat on the sofa with Chen Jing, and acted coquettishly towards Chen Jing, "No, I'm so happy that you're here."
She smiled sincerely and said, "I missed you so much."
Chen Jing stroked her hair and observed Tang Muyan, "You are a little tired, but your complexion is much better than before marriage. And Yanyan, have you gained weight recently?"
Chen Jing's hand touched Tang Muyan's little face again and pinched it twice.
If Chen Jing hadn't said it, Tang Muyan wouldn't have noticed that she had gained weight.
She also reached out and pinched herself, "I think I've gained a little weight."
"As for my complexion, I don't know. I haven't looked in the mirror much recently."
Chen Jing glanced at Lu Huaichen and said, "You're divorced, so you know how to take care of me?"
Tang Muyan was very thin when she got married, but Lu Huaichen didn't care at all.
Chen Jing's words were meant to be a compliment, but they sounded more like sarcasm.
Lu Huaichen didn't know what to say, he just nodded silently.
Chen Jing looked at him with a bad face, "Do you really think I'm praising you? What are you looking at? Have you cooked?"
Lu Huaichen had no choice but to turn around and go to the kitchen.
The meal is ready, just waiting for Tang Muyan.
Tang Muyan didn't look at Lu Huaichen, but she was worried in her heart, "Have I really gained a lot of weight?"
'Eat less today.'
While eating, Chen Jing sat next to Tang Muyan.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Chen Jing squinted her eyes and looked at Tang Muyan, "You are so unlucky. I have raised him till he is old, but I have never eaten the food he cooked."
Tang Muyan smiled, not knowing what to say.
Chen Jing filled a bowl of corn soup, scooped a spoonful, put it into her mouth and tasted it.
After Chen Jing tasted it, her expression instantly brightened up, "Well, you have this skill!"
"No wonder Yanyan has gained a lot of weight recently."
Tang Muyan's hands trembled as she was about to eat, and she immediately doubted her life, "Have I really gained weight?"
The chopsticks that were stretched out were retracted, "Then I'll eat less."
Lu Huaichen pursed his lips, and without waiting for himself to eat, he put a piece of Tang Muyan's favorite big plate chicken into her bowl.
Tang Muyan looked at the piece of meat that appeared out of nowhere in her bowl, was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of Lu Huaichen.
Lu Huaichen said calmly, "You are not fat, eat more."
Chen Jing immediately saw something fishy and suddenly thought of what Assistant Yu had said at home before.
Chen Jing curved her eyes and looked at Tang Muyan lovingly, "Look how much your brother Huaichen loves you? Eat more and give mom a big grandson."
Tang Muyan almost choked and her shocked eyes fell on Chen Jing's face.
"Mom, what did you say?"
Lu Huaichen's puzzled gaze also fell on Chen Jing.
Chen Jing was quite relaxed. "I didn't say anything. It just means what it says."
Then, she said earnestly, "Mom was wrong before. I misunderstood the relationship between you two when you were little. At that time, you were at most brother and sister. Now you are back on track. From now on, you should treat Yanyan as your sister, just like when you were little."
These words were said to Lu Huaichen.
Lu Huai's eyes darkened. He didn't want to treat Tang Muyan as his sister.
"Mom, please eat more."
Chen Jing didn't care what Lu Huaichen said. She smiled and said to Tang Muyan, "I heard that you have been very lucky in love recently. The youngest son of the Qi family and the youngest son of the Xu family both like you?"
