Late at night, Lei Yao walked down the steps step by step with bare feet.

Go to the basement.

Push the door open.

Under the illumination of the orange candlelight in the room, the facial features of each statue are clearly distinguishable. They may be happy, angry, sad, or fearful...

Lei Yao walked to the middle, knelt down, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.

On the ground, slender, black shadows were swimming, wrapping around her ankles and crawling on her skin.

"Can't sleep?"

Lei Yao opened her eyes, turned around and looked in the direction of the door. Jiang Yunxian was standing by the door wearing a dark blue nightgown.

She stood up.

They walked out and Lei Yao pushed the door open.

Turning around, she saw Jiang Yunxian's complicated eyes. She asked tentatively: "What's wrong, Brother Xian?"

Jiang Yunxian said: "Maybe we shouldn't have followed Master Luo back then."

She felt a little cold.

"If Mr. Sun fails to pass the test..."

Jiang Yunxian mentioned this again, and this time Lei Yao did not interrupt him.

"I remember what Master Luo said to us after he took us out. He said that the people in the inner courtyard felt that they were the direct descendants and the ones Mr. Hu trusted. As the stall got bigger and bigger, people outside kept asking

To expand territory and build meritorious deeds, the people in the inner court can only be used as thugs, and Mr. Hu will have fewer and fewer thugs when he needs them."

"Isn't it?"

"In the past, no matter how fierce the fight was in our inner courtyard, everyone would avenge whoever was bullied outside. After Master Luo died, you and I only thought about..."

Jiang Yunxian hesitated for a moment.

"Thinking about replacing him," Lei Yao said what he had not said. She raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yunxian. "But you failed in the first thing. Mr. Sun asked you to win over Jiang You. In the end, Jiang Yunxian

What’s the use?”

"Lei Yao, what do you mean?" Jiang Yunxian's voice became louder.

"It's not interesting," Lei Yao lowered his eyes and lowered his voice. "When we were in the inner courtyard, the two of us had no background and no backing. Anyone could bully us. What was given to us was either leftovers or other people's.

Don’t want it.”

"I remember," Jiang Yunxian looked at Lei Yao's fluttering eyelashes, "it's all over."

"Yes, it's all over. As long as Huang Hu is dead..." She bit her lip and asked, "How are the arrangements at the resort?"

Jiang Yunxian avoided Lei Yao's eyes and said, "Everything has been arranged."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Go to bed early."

"Okay, good night, Brother Xian."

"Good night."

The street lights dimmed one by one.

The sky gradually turns white.

The window is open.

Jiang Mo climbed into the room.

Jiang You fell asleep on his side.

His quilt was covered very skillfully, and his whole body was tightly covered from head to toe. Only the quilt covering his nose had a small gap for breathing free air.

Jiang Mo walked to the bed, put his hand into the gap, and pinched Jiang You's nose.

Ten seconds passed with no movement.

The other hand reached in and covered his mouth.

After more than twenty seconds passed, Jiang You suddenly struggled and sat up. He put the quilt on Jiang Mo, then wrapped him up and rubbed him hard through the quilt, "You want to suffocate your old father to death?"

ah!"

He saw the open window and asked, "Are you going to freeze me to death?"

He got out of bed.

After closing the window, he sneezed, rubbed his nose and turned to look at Jiang Mo who climbed out of the quilt, "What do you want for breakfast? Small wontons."

He washed and dressed slowly, carried Jiang Mo downstairs, went next door to eat a bowl of shepherd's purse wontons, and chatted with Boss Yin for a while. Then he carried Jiang Mo to Qingshuiwan Community, passing by the breakfast stall on the way.

At that time, I packed two boxes of fried steamed buns.

He met Dong You and Dai Qi who were commuting at the gate of the community.

"Are you going to work?" he greeted them.

"Landlord," Dai Qi recognized him, "are you looking for us?"

"No, I got up early today," Jiang You hugged Jiang Mo, "The square hasn't opened yet, so I'll take him around first."

"Oh, let's go catch the subway then."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

After watching the two girls walk away, he walked into the community, walked to Building 21, went upstairs, and rang the doorbell.

"Who!"

Chen Nan's voice came through the door.

"I, Jiang You."

The door opened.

Chen Nan was wearing loose home clothes, her hair was tied loosely, and she looked like she had just gotten up. "What's the matter so early?"

She stepped aside and Jiang You walked in.

Yunyun poked half of her head out of the door of the room.

"Morning, Yunyun. Have you had breakfast?" Jiang You raised the bag in his hand, "I bought some fried vegetables."

Chen Nan took the bag and put it on the dining table. She asked, "Would you like some porridge?"

"I've eaten here, you don't have to be busy, I'll be leaving soon."

Jiang You sat down.

Chen Nan took out the dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, "Where are you going?"

"There's something wrong. I want to put the ginger powder here for you."

"Okay." She and Yunyun sat down on both sides of the dining table.

Jiang You watched her bite into the fried skin, sucking the soup, and her hair falling from her cheeks. His eyes turned to Yunyun, and he asked: "Is the concert fun?"

Yunyun's eyes lit up instantly, "It's fun!"

"Hey, stop talking. It's been several days, and my eardrums are still buzzing." Chen Nan shook his head, "They are all little girls, and they are holding up those glow sticks and signs in their hands,

The singer screamed as soon as he came out. After saying a few words, he started screaming again. I don’t know how hard he screamed..."

"It's fine as long as Yunyun likes it, right?"

Yunyun nodded, "Brother Zeyan dotes on us very much. He sang several extra songs for us and told us to be careful on the way back..."

"Then you study hard and ask your mother to take you to see it next time."

Yunyun turned her head and looked at Chen Nan with bright eyes.

"You just have to keep..."

"Definitely!"

Jiang You smiled and said to Chen Nan, "I may have to be very late. Maybe I can pick him up tomorrow."

"Then just sleep here for one night. I've packed up the bed in the small room. It happened to be sunny two days ago, so the quilts have been dried."

"Jiang Mo, do you know that you have to be good at Auntie's house?"

Jiang Mo turned his head and didn't look at him.

Yunyun stood up and walked to Jiang Mo, "Shall we watch a cartoon?"

Yunyun held Jiang Mo's hand and took Jiang Mo to her room while talking.

"Take good care of your brother." Chen Nan warned.

"I know, Mom."

"Children are all debts," Jiang You took Chen Nan's chopsticks and ate the remaining two fried pancakes. "At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, give him a cup of pure milk. Make it hot."

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"No, he's quite well-behaved and a bit picky about food. Don't feed him too much," Jiang You put down his chopsticks, "I'm just a little sleepy."
