Qian Chenghe looked over with a gloomy expression, and saw Yu Xi smiling faintly, a smile just like that of the silly child who had chased him out of the house for a long time.

That year, snowflakes were flying, and his face was red from the cold, but he chased him and gave him three copper coins.

The young child didn't know what three copper coins meant, and he was willing to give him all the property he had secretly saved without the master's knowledge.

Perhaps, those three copper coins were the two bags of ginger candies he had longed for; two strings of candied haws; a deposit for a trip to the lake...

Three copper coins were the whole world to that child.

When the wall fell and everyone pushed it, he was willing to give his whole world to himself.

Now, the child has grown up, his eyes follow him, and he tells him word by word, earnestly - from the beginning to the end, it's the same as always.

"Brother, you can use any method to vent your emotions and take revenge on me, but please--"

Yu Xi tried to approach Qian Chenghe step by step, took all the hidden weapons and daggers on his body and threw them aside.

"Let Qi Yan go, he is innocent, the most innocent..."

He was only for Qi Yan, and would rather sacrifice his own life to protect Qi Yan.

Once, he thought that the unwarranted prison disaster was just a side alley in life, but he didn't expect that in that dim place, he met the person who would tie him to his life, a man. It was quite funny to look at him without any color. Has

he ever thought that he is a cut-sleeve? How can a man admit that he is a cut-sleeve? He

just identified a person, and the gender of that person has nothing to do with himself.

Qian Chenghe chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, picked up the sword on the ground, and gently brushed off the thin layer of dust on the hilt.

"Do you really want to protect him, even if it means risking your own life?" "

Those who lie will never be reincarnated."

[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan +5, current favorability: 100]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task.]

...

Qi Yan was driven out of the Qian Mansion. His name was Yu Xi, and his name was Qian Chenghe, but they were all indifferent. The secret guard threw him out mercilessly and closed the door of the Qian Mansion in front of him.

Qi Yan rushed up and slammed the door, hoping that someone would open it for him, but it seemed that there was no one inside, and the outsiders passing by looked at him as if he were a madman, shook their heads and left after a long time, they didn't want to mess with a madman.

Shouting, shouting, crying, these are all the behaviors of a madman in the eyes of others. But only Qi Yan himself knew that his fear was born from his heart, little by little, like a thorn, climbing and spreading to his entire heart, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe.

Qi Yan stayed in front of the gate of Qian Mansion for three days. During these three days, no one went in and no one came out.

He didn't know what the situation was like inside. But everyone knew about his miserable appearance.

Everyone in Jiangnan knew that there was a crazy beggar hiding at the door of Qian Mansion, which was rich enough to rival a country.

In the new year, snowflakes fell heavily, and after New Year's Eve, the terrifying chaos was completely over.

The new king ascended the throne, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe.

His name is Qian Chenghe. He is a famous rich man in Jiangnan area. His family business is only slightly less than that of the young master of Xuanhu Restaurant. But it is worth mentioning that everything he has is earned from scratch.

The young master of Xuanhu Restaurant is his junior fellow apprentice. He has both likes and dislikes for Yu Xi.

Where did he get everything he has today? It was given by his master. Haha, in this case, he, the eldest senior brother who was expelled from the sect, is extremely pitiful.

Qian Chenghe felt that his hypocritical behavior was a bit disgusting. After all, he hated Yu Xi, yes, he hated her.

He hated Yu Xi because of his master; he hated Yu Xi because of the huge family business; he hated Yu Xi because of the unfair treatment of his master.

But even so, he couldn't destroy the treasured childhood play picture in his study, because on it were all his memories.

After being expelled from his master's school, he had few things left, only this painting.

If you ask him, does he hate Yu Xi? His answer is very affirmative, he hates him.

Because he hates him, he leaked some information about Yu Xi to the officials of the previous dynasty, and the official sent someone to assassinate Yu Xi, and succeeded.

In this way, Yu Xi died, which was really gratifying.

But is he really happy?

If he was really happy, he would not have sent people to pick up Yu Xi without stopping, take him back to Jiangnan, take him to see the best doctor, and accept his request to watch over Qi Yan and protect Qi Yan for him.

Everything he did was simply a joke.

Finally, Yu Xi put her life in his hands.

At that moment, he was proud. He really wanted to show his master who was the most incompetent among his disciples.

To die for a man, Yu Xi was also foolish

and pitiful... Qian Chenghe laughed while raising his sword, and his steady hands began to tremble when he met Yu Xi's indifferent smile.

... He is the only person who treats him well. Whether in childhood or now.

Outside, unknown petals fell to the ground, paving the entire path white.

The wind blew in, and the long black hair floated slightly, as if bringing up an unforgettable memory.

Finally, Qian Chenghe put down the sword in his hand and threw it aside.

Forget it, I am not afraid of anything, so why should I be afraid of the so-called inner demon? What the fool said was not wrong. These items were worth a fortune, much more than the three copper coins that the silly junior brother gave him.

He let Yu Xi leave. Yu Xi smiled, tears flashing in his eyes.

- Senior brother, I think I am very smart. In fact, I am still stupid, right?

Yes, very stupid.

Winter passed and spring came. There was also a Xuanhu wine house in Jiangnan. It was getting bigger and bigger, and even squeezed out the business of Qianfu.

Many owners came to respond, saying that this wine house was simply too much. Qian Chenghe just snorted coldly and cursed it as an ungrateful person, but did not take any action.

Everyone was puzzled, and later it was said that this Xuanhu wine house might be Qianfu's own industry.

Gradually, Xuanhu wine house began to spread in the south and became bigger and bigger. Qian Chenghe simply gave up the catering industry and started from other places, and found that they were also rich in gold and silver.

Both sides were doing well, especially the dishes of Xuanhu Restaurant, which were praised as the best food from heaven.

Qian Chenghe did not believe in evil, so he went to Xuanhu Restaurant in person that day and was arranged in a private room, where he was served tea and rested for a while.

"You two are really bored." In the quiet room, Qian Chenghe suddenly said loudly: "Do you think I don't know where you are hiding?"

A few sparse noises suddenly came from behind the screen, accompanied by two chuckles, and the figures of two men appeared in Qian Chenghe's sight.

"Brother, I'm so happy that you're here, but I don't know how to welcome you, so I resorted to this last resort."

Qian Chenghe glanced at Yu Xi and snorted, "It's really a last resort!"

Qi Yan touched his nose, "I said it was a last resort."

"What do you want to eat, brother?"

"It doesn't matter, anything is fine." Qian Chenghe put down his teacup, "I'll try this mysterious 'Xuanhu Wine House'."

Yu Xi spread out his folding fan and fanned it gently, "I won't let you down."

Qi Yan shrugged, turned around and walked out, leaving the two brothers chatting in the house.

Going down the stairs, this huge wine house was created by him and Yu Xi together. The new country has risen again, and Yu Xi no longer needs to be a spy.

Arriving at the counter, Qi Yan looked at the handsome man inside and said, "Manager Wang, a table of top-quality dishes."

The man raised his head and turned out to be Wang Zhengze, a scholar in prison.

Turning around, he saw a thin man leading horses for guests at the door.

In fact, there are many acquaintances in this restaurant. The chef in the back kitchen is a bearded man, and several waiters are also familiar faces.

The people in prison are all here now.

It is said that the emperor asked Yu Xi what he needed. Yu Xi thought about it and only wanted to save the lives of these people in prison.

If you ask what to do, it is probably to be a coolie. The restaurant has reopened, doesn't it still need coolies?

Qi Yan smiled. Such a life is really beautiful and happy.

"Is this really possible? We won't have any status in our lives, let alone be together openly."

The scholar's words were so light that they were almost inaudible.

Qi Yan looked at him and found that he was keeping accounts, as if he was not talking to him.

He knew that the scholar was doing this for his own good.

After a long silence, Qi Yan spread his hands.

"Who cares? I own a share of this restaurant anyway. If he doesn't leave, then I can't leave."

The scholar paused with his pen, and then laughed softly.

"I knew that you and he are the same, stubborn."

...

This year, the founding of the country, they had a home, relatives, and friends.

I don't know when the apricot blossoms will fall to the ground again, but the scenery in front of them should not change much.

Looking at this scene for a lifetime, I will not feel bored, I can only feel more and more at ease.

A relationship is nothing more than two words.

——Peace.

Ordinary, safe.
