It was almost evening when the group left the bookstore.

Lu Jinyan was fascinated by a children's novel and refused to leave. Finally, he reluctantly left the bookstore after Ye Hehuan agreed to buy the complete set.

Ye Hehuan sat in the passenger seat. After fastening his seat belt, he turned to the child who was looking down at the book and said, "I'll take you home now."

Lu Jinyan realized that he was about to be abandoned, so he lay down on the passenger seat with his book in his arms: "What about you? What are you going to do later?"

He is no longer so afraid of Yu Zhongxiao, although he still dare not talk to Yu Zhongxiao.

"Children, don't worry so much about adults' affairs." Ye Hehuan tapped his forehead with a crooked finger: "Don't lie down like that, it's very dangerous. Go back and sit down."

"You are all going to abandon me, why do you care about my life~"

Yu Zhongxiao held the steering wheel with his strong and slender fingers, and when he heard such childlike words, he raised the corners of his mouth.

Ye Hehuan saw the faint smile on his face, and his ears felt a little hot. He didn't want their world to be destroyed by the little light bulb, so he continued to teach Lu Jin: "If you go out with us casually like this, your mother will come back to find you."

What should I do if I can’t reach you?”

"My mother won't go home until tomorrow night!" Lu Jinyan said.

Lu Jinyan is actually a child at heart. He wants people to play with him, but there are only servants in the house. It is also because Ye Hehuan treats him well that he is so clingy to her.

Taking a peek at Yu Zhongxiao, who was focusing on the road ahead, the little guy whispered to Ye Hehuan: "You don't have to worry about me, I've thought about it. I'll be with you tonight, and you can take me home tomorrow afternoon."

."

Ye Hehuan: "..."

She didn't know how to continue communicating with Lu Jinyan, and she was afraid of hurting him if she spoke too harshly. But if Lu Jinyan really insisted on following them, would she take him back to the bare-walled house in the old city?

Ye Hehuan looked at the man driving next to him for help.

Yu Zhongxiao turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car slid into the lane marked with the 'Fengshan Road' sign.

this road……

Ye Hehuan had not been to this area often and was relatively unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. He asked curiously: "Where are we going now?"

Yu Zhongxiao said: "Go home."

——

The 'home' in Yu Zhongxiao's words is the apartment in Binjiang Garden.

When the car parked downstairs in the apartment, Ye Hehuan had not yet recovered from his surprise. Hasn't this place been handed over to an agency for sale?

Yu Zhongxiao had already taken out the car keys and looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Get off the car."

After taking his little cousin into the elevator, Ye Hehuan asked about his confusion: "This place hasn't been sold yet? Didn't we say it was settled last time?"

Yu Zhongxiao clicked on the box marked floor 11: "The previous buyer returned the house again because of work. It is still vacant and fully furnished. It shouldn't be a problem to spend the night."

We arrived at the 11th floor soon, and the elevator door dinged open.

Yu Zhongxiao walked out and didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He turned around and reached out to press the elevator button outside. In addition to his deep eyes, there was a hint of smile: "Aren't you coming out?"

"oh."

…

As soon as I entered the apartment, I was greeted by a thick smell of dust.

This is the second time Yu Zhongxiao comes here after returning from Xizang. The last time he brought agency staff here to take pictures.

Last year, after Jiang Hui was scalded by Han Jingqiu, she moved out as soon as she returned to City B.

He is not a person who is particularly particular about material life, and the job he is engaged in makes it much more convenient for him to live in the army than to live here. The value of keeping such a house is not high, so he simply contacted an agency to sell it.

.

The furniture was covered with white cloth. Ye Hehuan looked around the apartment. No one had lived here for a long time, and the ground was covered with thick dust.

Lu Jinyan held the corner of her clothes with his small hands, stretched his neck and looked around. When he saw Yu Zhongxiao coming to the living room to tear off the white cloth, the little guy secretly asked: "Is this his home?"

Ye Hehuan hummed, walked over to him, and said to the man who was bending over with his shirt sleeves rolled up, "Do you need my help?"

Yu Zhongxiao raised his head, looked at her and smiled slightly: "What can you do?"

This tone made it clear that he looked down upon her.

Ye Hehuan turned his head, glanced at the bathroom, straightened his spine and said, "There are a lot of things I can do, such as mopping the floor and wiping the table."

Yu Zhongxiao nodded seriously, but his face showed a bit of amusement.

"you do not believe?"

Ye Hehuan felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't tell whether it was embarrassment or anger: "I didn't return it to you last time... did you wash your clothes?"

With that said, she went straight to the bathroom, as if she was eager to prove it to him.

Yu Zhongxiao watched the slender figure disappear from his sight, and then there was a rough collision in the bathroom. This time he didn't hold it back anymore and chuckled.

Suddenly I noticed the burning gaze.

Only then did Yu Zhongxiao remember that there was a third person in the room. He turned his head and saw that Lu Jinyan had been staring at him. The little guy was standing aside politely, holding the newly bought set of books.

Speaking of which, the money for this set of books was paid by Yu Zhongxiao. As the saying goes, people are short-handed——

Lu Jinyan pouted and turned his head away.

"Would you like to come over and sit for a while?" Yu Zhongxiao patted the sofa next to him.

Lu Jinyan glanced at him, and after some hesitation, he slowly walked over and sat at the seat furthest away from Yu Zhongxiao.

Seeing his thief look, Yu Zhongxiao couldn't help but smile, remembering that his younger brother was also so weird when he was a child, and maybe even worse.

"Why are you laughing?" Lu Jinyan suddenly asked.

Yu Zhongxiao recovered from his memory, rolled up the white cloth and placed it on the tea table in an orderly manner: "It's nothing, I remembered something at home."

There was the sound of running water from the bathroom.

Lu Jinyan pursed his lips, stared at Yu Zhongxiao who was closing the curtains with his dark eyes, and said in a serious voice: "Actually, I don't like you that much."

Yu Zhongxiao's movement of tying the curtains paused slightly, then returned to normal. He opened the window again and said, "Really?"

"That's how it is, but Huanhuan likes you and there's nothing I can do about it, so I can only like you."

Lu Jinyan looked at Yu Zhongxiao's tall figure, who was still very upright, and he felt a little admiration in his heart. He would also grow so tall and strong in the future. When he heard Yu Zhongxiao's answer, Lu Jinyan nodded seriously and continued: "If you will in the future

If you don't treat Huanhuan well, I will beat you up when I grow up."

——

Ye Hehuan came out with a mop in his arms and saw two people sitting and standing in the living room. The atmosphere... was quite harmonious.

"Are you chatting?" Ye Hehuan glanced at Yu Zhongxiao.

Yu Zhongxiao had already walked over and took the mop from her hand: "Just a few words."

An understatement.

Ye Hehuan turned to look at Lu Jinyan over there. When she saw the little guy, he jumped off the sofa and ran to the bathroom shouting that he needed to pee.

Her fingers were still holding the mop handle.

Yu Zhongxiao exerted a little force, but when he saw that she still refused to let go, he lowered his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes, and asked softly, "What are you doing?"

Ye Hehuan looked back at him and found that Yu Zhongxiao laughed a lot today.

Thinking of his cousin's monkey spirit, Ye Hehuan was afraid that Lu Jinyan would take advantage of her absence to say something that would make Yu Zhongxiao unhappy: "Don't take what a child says seriously. If he talks nonsense, just think of him as... a fart."

."

Yu Zhongxiao's eyes had a deeper meaning, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Are you afraid of what he will say to me?"

"That's not—"

When Ye Hehuan said this, her eyes evaded, as if she had been pricked by a needle. She let go of the mop: "I'll go to the bedroom to see if I want to open it."

But Yu Zhongxiao suddenly pulled her, holding her slender wrist with his strong and warm hands.

"...What to do?" This time it was her turn to ask confidently.

"Are you shy?"

Ye Hehuan's cheeks became even hotter: "Who's shy? It's just a little hot in the room, aren't you?"

"Um."

I don't know if this "hmm" is emphasizing her shyness or acknowledging that he is also very hot.

Ye Hehuan raised his head and was about to argue with him when a dark shadow came down. Yu Zhongxiao's face was already close at hand, and he was about to kiss her——

There was a clang in the bathroom.

Ye Hehuan subconsciously pushed away the man hugging her. Her face was red and she did not look at Yu Zhongxiao. She walked into the bathroom and asked Lu Jinyan what was wrong.

When Lu Jinyan was washing his hands, he accidentally broke a ceramic shower gel bottle.

"I just wanted to take a look..." Lu Jinyan pursed her lips guiltily and lowered her voice: "I accidentally slipped my hand and it fell."
