Duan Ruiqi bit his chopsticks and looked at the vegetables in front of him with great confusion. If you look up slightly, you can see the Coke chicken wings in the center of the table; If you move your eyes again, it is a large plate of Hangzhou pepper beef tenderloin; Again, a large plate of spicy shrimp; Move ...... again

Fish flavored shredded pork with pickled cabbage, spicy chicken, iron plate squid, dried pot, bullfrog......

"Doctor Chu, eat more." The housekeeper pushed the sauerkraut fish in front of Chu Yunshen again. Chu Yunshen waved his hand slightly, smiled and shook his head: "No, it's too polite, I really can't eat it." โ€

Duan Ruiqi bit his chopsticks, looked at the housekeeper pitifully, and secretly glared at Chu Yunshen. Seeing that they didn't care about themselves, he hung his head angrily, then blinked again, and carefully stretched out his chopsticks to hook a chicken wing......

It's almost there, chicken wings......

"Young master, you just had surgery, you can't eat meat." The butler saw it and immediately stopped him. Duan Ruiqi was so frightened that his chopsticks shook and shrank back. Chu Yunshen on the side chuckled in a low voice, and was glared at by him fiercely.

It's been three days! Three days like this! The housekeeper changed his tricks to cook for Chu Yunshen, and he ......

Not at all! Yes! Moisten!

He took a bite of the green vegetables angrily, took the rice as Chu Yunshen's continuous poke, and then swallowed it hard. Chu Yun looked at him deeply, and the corners of his lips were curled again, while the butler shook his head and sighed.

Duan Ruiqi wrinkled his face and ate the rice one by one. The butler looked at him like this and sighed again. After finishing the meal, pick up today's evening newspaper and look at it.

After flipping through a few pages, the butler burst out laughing. Duan Ruiqi and Chu Yunshen raised their heads at the same time and looked at the housekeeper who was smiling with a stomachache. Duan Ruiqi blinked, not knowing what was going on.

The housekeeper covered his stomach with a smile and handed the newspaper to Duan Ruiqi. The young master's unconscionable father, Ling Zhonghua's Kai'an Company's losses, have been reported in the newspapers, and he is naturally very happy because he is very disgusted with Ling Zhonghua.

"What's wrong?" Duan Ruiqi took it, opened it casually and saw the huge title, and was immediately stunned - "The Low Tide of Economic Growth Sets Off the Tide of Securities Company Collapse Kai'an Company May Go Bankrupt". The report was accompanied by a photo of his father, Ling Zhonghua.

It's been a long time since I've seen this man who is closely related to him, no...... Maybe he hasn't seen much since he was a child, and Duan Ruiqi was stunned for a moment. The memories he had been trying to forget all came back to him - he was scolded as an illegitimate child since he was a child, those young and lonely days. But at that time, he was not so sad, because he still had a gentle mother and an older brother who was willing to be friends with him.

It's just that later, the brother who was willing to listen to him disappeared, and his mother, who always cooked porridge for him, also died. The father he had always admired did not appear, but a woman he was afraid of - Zhu Banfeng, who was Ling Zhonghua's wife. Kicked out of the home where he had lived for fifteen years, he had to return to the Duan family's old mansion with the housekeeper.

"Young master, Ling Zhonghua has evil retribution, God opens his eyes!" The housekeeper smiled, very comforted. Chu Yunshen on the side raised his head and frowned.

Ling Zhonghua? Isn't that Duan Ruiqi's father?

Duan Ruiqi returned the newspaper to the housekeeper, laughed twice, pretended to be in a good mood, and deliberately raised his eyebrows: "Well, good news......" However, the end of the note gradually narrowed.

He raised his chopsticks and took a few more bites of rice and ate all the rice in the bowl. put down the chopsticks and smiled at the housekeeper again, but unconsciously lowered his eyes: - "I...... Let's go back to the room first. With that, he got up and walked back to the bedroom. The housekeeper was still smiling, but after a while, he was stunned, and then patted his thigh in annoyance.

"Hey! I forgot that the young master has always disliked mentioning this kind of thing. He sighed. Chu Yunshen put down the bowl and looked puzzled, "What's wrong?" โ€

"Alas!" The housekeeper shook his head and sighed, "I'm old, and I forgot about it for a while." He didn't answer Chu Yunshen, but picked up the plate on the table and put it away. Chu Yunshen stood up and helped him wash the dishes together. However, his mind was full of the lonely and sad expression when Duan Ruiqi left at the end - it was completely different from the guy he had seen in the past few days.

At night, he walked to the door of Duan Ruiqi's room and knocked lightly. No one came to open the door, so he knocked again and whispered his name.

"Why are you ......" The voice was not as full of energy as usual, Duan Ruiqi seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't come to open the door for Chu Yunshen. Chu Yunshen pushed open the door and walked in.

He hurriedly stuffed the photo into a drawer, frowned, looked at Chu Yunshen rather unhappily, and his tone was not very good: "What's the matter with you." โ€

Chu Yunshen walked up to him and said lightly, "You don't seem to be happy." โ€

"Nope." He pursed his lips, glanced at Chu Yunshen with disgust, turned around and stared at the window in front of him, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't bother me." โ€

Chu Yunshen didn't speak, and Duan Ruiqi didn't pay attention to him. After being silent for a long time, a large hand suddenly pressed on his head, gently rubbing his hair.

"Don't be upset." The voice is very gentle, and the hands are exceptionally warm. Duan Ruiqi just wanted to pull his hand away, but he felt that the feeling of that palm was somewhat familiar. He sighed, his clear eyes were dyed with sorrow, lowered his head, and whispered, "I'm not unhappy. โ€

It's just that when I think of the past, my heart feels like a stone has been pressed, too heavy and too heavy. A lot of things that I don't want to think about and don't want to face suddenly all come out, and my mood is extremely depressed. The past that tried to forget Jรฌ did not disappear with the diversion of his attention, but was hidden deep in his heart. Every time it comes again, it tears the scar even wider.

Chu Yun frowned deeply. As early as five years ago, Duan Ruiqi would often tell him about his father. He knew that he was an illegitimate child, and Ling Zhonghua rarely cared about him. However......

What happened during his five years away?

"I'm really not unhappy." The voice was still very small, he shook his head and took Chu Yunshen's hand off his head. Turning his head to look at him, he pursed his lips.

"You want to comfort me?" Raise your eyes and look at the person in front of you.

"No, just look at you." Chu Yunshen inserted his hand into his pocket, and his gaze fell on him with some tenderness.

......He pursed his lips again, turned his head, stared at the window, snorted slightly awkwardly, and whispered, "Anyway, thank you for your concern." โ€

Chu Yun was stunned in deep surprise. He suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't that Duan Ruiqi had changed too much, but that he was trying to disguise himself with that arrogant and explosive personality...... And the gentle and considerate child he was familiar with was hidden deep in his heart.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Are you hurt?

"Rest early." Chu Yunshen smiled deeply and did not continue to stay in his bedroom. Duan Ruiqi saw him leaving, lowered his eyes, and took out the photo from the drawer again. I had mixed feelings, and my thumb ran over the photo.

That's the only picture he hadโ€”of his father, his mother, and of him.
