It was already very late when Li Zhiyue sent Shen Xingqian back to the Shen family. Mrs. Zhang kept her and stayed at home, and even cleaned up her room.

"Miss Zhiyue, after I leave, you should come back and stay often. The husband and wife don't know when they will come back. The young master is very lonely guarding such a home alone."

Mrs. Zhang was tidying up while talking. She had been to Shen's house for more than ten years. Now she was leaving. She was really reluctant to leave. Li Zhiyue put her bag on the dressing table. The countertops were made of cosmetics that had not been opened, all of which were prepared by her mother. She probably was waiting for her to come back to live.

Li Zhiyue felt warm, but she did not forget her own business. She mentioned the gift she gave to Mrs. Zhang, walked to Mrs. Zhang, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't be busy, I'll stay for one night. By the way, the gifts given to you by uncle and aunt, they said that it is not convenient to come back abroad now, and I hope you don't get angry."

Mrs. Zhang yelled and refused: "No, no, my husband and wife have been treating me well for so many years, so there is no need for gifts."

Li Zhiyue took her hand, hung the gift strap in her palm, and smiled and said, "You can accept it."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a while before nodding: "I will call my husband and wife tomorrow."

Li Zhiyue agreed.

Mrs. Zhang left the room, Li Zhiyue leaned back and lay on the soft bed. She stared at the ceiling with her eyes, and her memory seemed to be deviating. She seemed to be back when she was fourteen years old, and was led into the bedroom by Chen's father and mother with a smile, and gently told her that this will be her home in the future.

She transformed from a cowardly little girl to an adult who stood alone.

In this blink of an eye, so many years have passed.

Li Zhiyue sighed and suddenly remembered Lin Jie again.

She pursed her lips, sat up, picked up her phone and found a number in the address book and dialed it. After beating a few times, she picked it up.

"Hey, senior sister, what's the matter?"

The other party had a little noisy voice, and the other party said again: "You can wait a moment."

I soon arrived at a quiet place and asked there: "Senior Sister, tell me."

The person who answered the phone was Li Zhiyue's junior brother in the same school. The two had worked together several times in the school before, and their relationship was pretty good. Li Zhiyue didn't talk nonsense. She said, "Junior brother, you have a wide connection. Can you help me find someone named Lin Jie?"

The junior brother said, "Okay, do you have any approximate information? Send it to me on WeChat. I will ask you later."

Li Zhiyue responded, and there was something else to do with his junior brother. After a few greetings, he hung up the phone.

Li Zhiyue put her phone on the bedside table and connected the plug. She got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. She reached out and pulled all the curtains open, and the night view outside was full of sight.

City A is a bustling and bustling city that lasts 24 hours a day.

The lights and wine in the distance are like a new colorful world breaking out in the darkness, soothing and erasing the unwillingness and regret that grows in the darkness one by one.

"Ququ."

The bedroom door was knocked, and when he heard this force, it didn't look like Mrs. Zhang. Li Zhiyue walked over and opened the door. The person standing outside the door was indeed Shen Xingqian.

Shen Xingqian had finished washing up, wearing a loose bathrobe, a clean towel on his shoulders, and the water on the tip of his hair was quickly sliding down along his outline, crossing his delicate collarbone and finally sank into the bathrobe.

Shen Xingqian raised his hand and casually stroked the wet hair on his forehead to the back of his head, revealing his plump forehead. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Take a bath."

Li Zhiyue withdrew her gaze that was staring at the drops of water drops down and opened her eyes: "I understand."

She was about to close the door, but Shen Xingqian outside the door had no intention of going back to the room. Li Zhiyue raised her head again and asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

The corridor was as bright as daylight. Shen Xingqian saw his reflection in Li Zhiyue's eyes. Suddenly, he said with a slight expression: "Li Zhiyue, you women do not pay the most attention to maintenance, why do you always frown?"

"What?"

Li Zhiyue seemed to have not heard clearly, and then her slightly cool fingertips touched her eyebrows and rubbed them gently. Li Zhiyue looked at the owner of her fingers in a daze.

Shen Xingqian looked at her seriously, rubbed her for a while before retracting her fingers. Her beautiful Adam's apple moved up and down, "It's so ugly."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the room next door, opened it and entered the room.

The speed is faster than usual, and it tastes like running away in panic.

The sound of closing the door brought Li Zhiyue back to her senses. She raised her hand, touched the eyebrows that Shen Xingqian had rubbed just now, chuckled, and retreated into the house to close the door.

Shen Xingqian irritatedly put the towel on his head, stood in front of the full-body mirror, rubbed his wet hair a few times, and placed the towel on the chair casually. Shen Xingqian has come to his senses now. He touched his ears, which are gradually heating up uncontrollably.

He looked at his red ears in the mirror and rubbed them hard for a few more times, but it was still useless, as if it was even hotter than before.

What's wrong with him? Why is his ear like he is not obedient?

"What red?"

Shen Xingqian couldn't help but whisper.

The door was knocked twice. Shen Xingqian closed his bathrobe and walked over to look at the door. Mrs. Zhang stood at the door and was holding a glass of water. Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Ms. Zhiyue said you have some wine tonight and asked me to add a glass of honey water to you."

Shen Xingqian responded and took the water cup from Mrs. Zhang's hand.

The temperature conveyed his palm through the wall of the cup. Shen Xingqian said thank you, and Mrs. Zhang left.

He turned sideways and looked at the door next to him, took a sip of honey water, and felt that he had indeed relieved a lot of discomfort.

"You have a conscience."

Shen Xingqian said to himself, then hummed a little song and closed his door.

There was a loud bang outside, and it was accompanied by heavy rain.

After entering the plum rain season, it became normal to rain, but when it rained, it was difficult for Li Zhiyue to fall asleep. After tossing and turning, he really couldn't fall asleep, Li Zhiyue sat up from the bed.

He raised the back of his hand and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. He turned sideways and turned on the bedside lamp, picked up the air conditioner remote control board to increase the temperature a little, got out of bed and prepared to go downstairs to pour a glass of water.

It was quiet downstairs. Mrs. Zhang had already fallen asleep. Li Zhiyue turned on a small light, took a glass of water, and sat at the dining table and took a sip.

The warm water flowed along his throat to his somewhat uncomfortable stomach, and Li Zhiyue felt better.

A sound came from the stairs. Li Zhiyue looked up, Shen Xingqian, wearing a loose sleeveless vest, stepped down the stairs with a messy hair.

He seemed to be a little unwaking up. He squinted his eyes at the light source. Seeing Li Zhiyue sitting at the dining table, he woke up instantly. He wanted to turn his head and go upstairs, but Li Zhiyue stopped him: "Why are you running?"

Yes, he didn't do anything, why did he run away?

Shen Xingqian pulled his slippers and turned his head downstairs again. He walked to the dining table. Li Zhiyue held the cup in both hands and raised her head and tilted her head: "Why haven't you been sleeping yet so late?"

Shen Xingqian pulled open the stool and sat down: "Thirsty, the room is out of water."

Li Zhiyue subconsciously handed the cup in her hand. She was stunned for a moment and felt something was wrong. Just as she was about to take it back, Shen Xingqian took the lead and snorted a few times, and saw the bottom of a glass of water.

It seems that he is really thirsty.

After drinking water, he almost woke up completely. He put the water cup aside and looked up at Li Zhiyue sitting in front of him: "What are you doing when you get up?"

"Drink water."

Li Zhiyue replied.

So the two of them dared to stare in the quiet living room, and no one spoke.

In the end, Shen Xingqian was defeated first, so he drank some water and glared at Li Zhiyue for whatever reason.

He got up and said, "It's time to go to bed."

Li Zhiyue nodded and said warmly: "Good night, eldest son."

"…Shut up, thank you."

The name of the eldest young master can be said to be Shen Xingqian since he was a child, and his ears were calloused, but Li Zhiyue called him like this, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

He sat down again, and Li Zhiyue looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xingqian took a deep breath and said, "All of them are adults. Play a game. Don't call me after you lose... Don't call me the eldest master anymore. You are still coaxing me as a three-year-old child."

Li Zhiyue laughed out loud. She actually had no other intentions, but just shouted out casually. She didn't feel sleepy now. She nodded: "Okay, what game do you think?"

“It’s a big night, just simple.”

Shen Xingqian stretched out his hand: "Scissors and stone cloth."

Li Zhiyue looked at the hand in front of her and clenched it into a fist.

Then he raised his eyebrows, stretched out a hand, spread his five fingers, and smiled on his face. She said softly: "I won, Master."

"?"

Shen Xingqian was slightly stunned and did not react at all.

When he met Li Zhiyue's smiling face, he remembered that Li Zhiyue had not drunk tonight, so why did he start talking drunk?

It was probably the first time that Li Zhiyue was fooling around. Shen Xingqian took a long time to come back to his senses. He bit his back teeth and said dissatisfiedly: "How old are you, you are still fooling around."

Li Zhiyue shrugged: "You didn't often cheat when you were young."

Shen Xingqian had a high fever when he was twelve years old. After the high fever subsided, he found that his family moved here when he had a high fever.

The new environment is not familiar with the place. Shen’s father and mother were often busy at that time. There were only him, Li Zhiyue and Zhang’s wife in the huge house.

Although he was still a little resistant to Li Zhiyue at that time, he often tricked Li Zhiyue into doing this and that for him.

But after getting along for a long time, Li Zhiyue had become the one who always protected him and gave in to him.

Li Zhiyue got up, and when she walked past Shen Xingqian, she stretched out her hand and rubbed his head twice, and smiled and said, "Okay, go upstairs."

Shen Xingqian listened to the footsteps that came when Li Zhiyue went upstairs and looked back. She was wearing a suspender skirt and nightgown. Her slender and white arms were naturally hung on both sides. The beautiful butterfly bones were looming in the dim light.

She walked up the last stairs, turned around and met Shen Xingqian's gaze, her eyes bent, and said again: "Good night, eldest master."

Shen Xingqian licked his lower lip and suddenly felt a little thirsty again. He turned around and picked up the water cup at his hand, remembering the way Li Zhiyue held the water cup with both hands just now.

After realizing it, I touched my earlobe.
