After faking his death, he stopped pretending to be a substitute.

Song Yanxi actually came to S Province?

No wonder there was no reply to the previous message I sent. I guess it was because I was on the plane and my cell phone had no signal.

Chu Yanyi was slightly surprised: "Where are you now?"

"At the airport, I just got off the plane."

"I told you not to come to me, why are you here?" Chu Yanyi said this, but his chest was filled with a warm emotion.

Song Yanxi on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds: "There was a problem with the company's project in S Province, so I came here on a business trip."

It was obvious that this was an excuse. The man had come to see her specially.

Chu Yanyi suppressed the joy in his heart and asked calmly, "Have you found a place to live?"

"not yet."

"Didn't Chen Huai book a hotel for you?"

"I decided to come here on a business trip at the last minute, and Chen Huai hasn't had time to book yet."

What a liar!

In this age of advanced Internet, booking a hotel is only a matter of minutes.

Chu Yanyi laughed and didn't expose his lie: "Wait at the airport, I'll pick you up in half an hour."

Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl his lips: "Okay."

Chu Yanyi casually found a set of clothes from the closet and put them on, then picked up the car keys and hurried downstairs.

Sitting in the living room watching TV, Shu Yun saw that he was dressed neatly and looked like he was going out, so she asked with concern, "Yanyan, it's so late, why are you still going out?"

"I have a friend coming here on business, I'm going to meet him."

"Then will you come back tonight?"

Chu Yanyi paused: "I'm back."

"Well, be careful."

Song Yanxi was sitting in the airport waiting room, reading a free securities newspaper in his hand, but his mind was not on the newspaper at all. He would raise his head from time to time to look at the square outside.

When he looked out for the umpteenth time, a familiar figure finally appeared in his field of vision.

Song Yanxi quickly put the newspaper back to its place and walked out with his head held high.

"Speak."

Chu Yanyi nodded: "Get in the car."

Song Yanxi consciously opened the passenger door and got in.

"Have you had dinner?" Chu Yanyi casually found a topic.

"not yet."

Knowing that he was hungry, Chu Yanyi drove him to a famous night market and chose a food stall with a good environment.

Song Yanxi flipped through the menu and couldn't help looking at him: "Would you like to eat something too?"

Chu Yanyi shook his head: "I'm not hungry, just order what you like."

Song Yanxi did not force it. After naming a few dishes, he handed the menu to the waiter.

Chu Yanyi looked at him with dark eyes: "Are you coming here on business for a few days?"

Song Yanxi did not answer but asked: "When will you go back?"

"Three days later."

"I'll go back with you then."

"...Aren't you going on a business trip to another province in a couple of days?"

Song Yanxi's expression was barely perceptible. "I don't have to go on the business trip myself. I can arrange for other senior executives of the company to go."

"..."

Chu Yanyi silently picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

Forget it, it’s better not to expose the fact that the man came to see me specifically.

After eating, Song Yanxi thought Chu Yanyi would take him to the Chu family, but Chu Yanyi actually brought him to the hotel.

Song Yanxi didn't say anything, but he looked at Chu Yanyi with an indescribable resentment. The latter pretended not to see it and looked at his watch: "Ah, it's already this late, I have to go back——"

Song Yanxi tried to persuade her to stay: "It's so late, don't go back, stay here for one night."

Chu Yanyi refused decisively: "No, I told my aunt that I would go back at night, otherwise she would be worried."

Song Yanxi lowered his head and kissed his cheek: "Be careful on the road, and let me know when you get home."

"Ok."

As he had been busy with company matters for nearly half a month, Chu Yanyi finally had a few days off. He slept until eight o'clock the next day before getting up.

After he dressed, he went downstairs and found the living room bustling with activity.

His uncle, aunt, cousin, and Chu Lin were also there. What surprised him even more was that Song Yanxi was sitting among them.

I don’t know what he said, but the smiles on my uncle and aunt’s faces were obvious.

Seeing him coming down, Song Yanxi's face suddenly showed joy: "Yanyan."

Chu Yanyi's expression froze, he nodded at him, and then greeted Chu Yunsheng and Shu Yun: "Uncle and aunt, good morning."

Shu Yun's attitude was very enthusiastic: "Yanxi came early in the morning. I wanted to go upstairs to call you, but Yanxi said that you were busy with company matters recently and didn't get enough rest, so he asked me not to call you."

Chu Yanyi: "..."

What kind of sweet words did Song Yanxi say to his aunt that made his aunt even call him "Yanxi" when they met for the first time.

"Yanxi, Yanyan is awake now, let's go over and have breakfast." Chu Yunsheng said.

Song Yanxi came to visit early in the morning and brought a calligraphy piece by a famous modern calligrapher and a set of valuable jewelry, which touched Chu Yunsheng and Shu Yun's hearts.

He was modest and polite, his words and actions were measured, and his every move showed the good upbringing of a rich young man. Chu Yunsheng and Shu Yun couldn't help but have a better impression of him.

Chu Yunsheng had learned earlier that he had not had breakfast yet, so he warmly invited him. Song Yanxi said that he would wait for Chu Yanyi to get up and eat with him. Chu Yunsheng felt even more satisfied, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt like a "father-in-law looking at his son-in-law."

Song Yanxi responded and took a seat with Chu Yunsheng.

Chu Yanyi sat next to Song Yanxi, picked up the toast and ate it silently.

"Yanyan, Yanxi rarely comes to S Province on a business trip, and he happens to have nothing to do today. Since you have nothing to do today, why not accompany him for a walk."

After hearing Shu Yun's words, Chu Yanyi hesitated for a moment and finally said "hmm" softly.

Chu Qin looked at him with a smile: "Come back at night, don't spend the night outside."

The deliberately prolonged ending is full of meaning.

Chu Yanyi's old face turned red and he quickly lowered his head to drink soy milk to hide his embarrassment.

Song Yanxi came to his rescue: "What's fun in Province S?"

Chu Qin said: "That new ancient city that cost tens of billions to build is pretty good. It's a famous 5A scenic spot in S Province. It was only opened to the public last year."

Song Yanxi looked at Chu Yanyi and said, "Let's go to the ancient city later, okay?"

Chu Yanyi nodded slightly and did not object.

It’s not summer yet, and although the ancient city isn’t packed with tourists, it’s still crowded.

Chu Yanyi and Song Yanxi went to the temple to burn incense and then climbed the ancient city wall.

After struggling for a long time, he was tired and hungry, and most of his white T-shirt was soaked.

I've been busy with company matters lately and lacked exercise, so my legs felt weak when I came down.

"I'm so tired. I'm never going to climb the city wall again!"

Hearing this, Song Yanxi squatted down in front of him and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

Chu Yanyi was stunned: "Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine, not very tired."

"I'm very heavy, are you sure you can carry me now?"

Song Yanxi laughed: "Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

Chu Yanyi hesitated for a moment and climbed onto his back.

The way down the mountain was a winding bluestone staircase. Song Yanxi carried Chu Yanyi on his back as he walked on the bluestone staircase. His steps were firm and steady. His broad and strong back gave people a sense of security for no reason.

"Are you tired? If you are, put me down and I will walk by myself." Chu Yanyi wiped the sweat from his cheek with his hand.

"Not tired."
