The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Back at the banquet, Chi Zhen walked through the crowd and approached. A young man was sitting on the side of the sofa, shaking his glass of fruit wine boredly. The seat opposite was empty as the Song family had already left.

"What did you talk about just now?" Chi Yu was a little surprised. He lowered his head and asked You Mu about the topic of the conversation when he was not around.

What comes out of the Song family is not good, especially those who always want to get close to You Mu.

When the Song family cruelly pushed You Mu and his son out of the house, these "relatives" remained silent. Now that everything is over, they have picked up this blood relationship, which is ridiculous.

"Nothing..." You Mu tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips. He was not interested and seemed to be indifferent to the man.

A hand covered his head. You Mu shook his head unhappily but failed to shake off the hand.

"Tired?"

You Mu tilted his head and looked sideways at the person beside him. He pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a fake smile: "I'm tired. How can I not be tired of putting on a smiling face to socialize?"

My face is almost frozen from smiling.

Seeing that the other party looked listless, like a balloon that had been drained of air, Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh and asked in a low voice: "This kind of banquet is really boring, do you want to sneak out?"

You Mu pricked up his ears and listened, raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look over, these words didn't sound like something a man would say.

"How to escape?"

"Walk."

Reaching out and grabbing the young man's wrist, Chi Yu pulled him up, left the venue through a side door, and walked all the way to the parking lot.

As the noise faded away, the originally depressed people's pupils gradually brightened up, and as they breathed in the fresh air from the outside world, their moods warmed up a lot.

The two got in the car and sped out of the old house, bypassing the winding mountain road, and driving away from all the annoying trivialities.

You Mu sat in the passenger seat, with his arm pressed against the car window facing the wind. He felt that the tiredness of his soul was washed away by the mountain breeze, and what was left was a good mood.

"But... if we leave, what will happen to the party?" After all, he was the center of attention at the party. Now that he had left, would it really be okay? Would he just leave the guests hanging?

"Of course someone is watching." The car slowed down. Chi Zhen looked at the road and answered the call from Chi Hua.

"Third brother? Where have you been? President Qin is looking for you!"

As soon as the call was connected, Chi Hua's anxious voice came over, as if the big order that President Qin was worried about had come to nothing under his hands.

"I have something urgent to do and need to go out for a while. Second brother can help keep an eye on it."

"But..." The brother who always worked hard abandoned his home field. Listening to the sound of the wind and the car engine on the other end of the phone, Chi Hua was stunned for a moment before he realized that this person was no longer in the old house.

"Take Xuanming with you. He is not a child anymore. Don't let him run around all the time. It's time for him to learn how to handle social situations." Turning the steering wheel, Chi Yu drove around a corner and talked to the person on the other end of the phone.

When Chi Xuanming was mentioned, Chi Hua immediately stopped refusing. Originally, today was You Mu's home game, and it was not convenient for him to bring his son to show off. Since his third brother said so, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"……All right."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Hua immediately pulled his son, who was drinking, from the corner and told him:

"Xuan Ming, your uncle has something urgent to do. In the second half of the banquet, follow me to meet some partners. Don't have a stern face all day long. Remember to be polite and call people in time!"

"Dad, I don't like these. What about You Mu?" Now that my uncle is gone...

Chi Xuanming looked around but did not see You Mu.

Feeling a little disappointed with his son, Chi Hua looked at his son who was looking around, not knowing what to say.

"I don't know. I guess he left with your uncle. Cheer up. The focus of the Chi family will be on you in the future. This is also what your uncle meant. Why don't you take it to heart?"

"...Oh." The wine glass was taken away, and Chi Xuanming was taken away by Chi Hua, grabbing the neck.

After the two left, Chi Qiu came out from behind the screen on the side. Looking at Chi Hua, who had changed his usual low-key style at the banquet and took Chi Xuanming around to negotiate with people, he pinched his fingernails into his palms, but it didn't help the unwillingness in his heart.

It turned out that... he had already been selected? Didn't they even give him a chance?

Why! Why! How is he worse than Chi Xuanming, a playboy who only knows how to have fun!

Was it because the other party followed You Mu around like a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy? Or was it because he was close to the old man and was deprived of the qualification to participate in the competition from the beginning?

Chi Qiu quietly left the banquet hall with a lot of questions in his mind.

Chi Zhen parked the car beside a section of road in an uninhabited area, with a dense forest behind it and Rongcheng's artificial lake in the distance.

The clouds on the horizon were painted pink and purple by the sunset, and across a long mountain range, the sunset glow and the water were the same color.

Occasionally, a bird flies over the lake, causing ripples and disrupting the reflection of the semi-circle of sunlight in the water, adding a bit of vitality to the quiet picture.

Sitting back in the car, You Mu tilted his head back and drank beer, the evening breeze blowing past, ruffling his hair.

A hand reached out to brush away the hair floating in the wind, gathering it by the ear.

You Mu turned his head and looked over. The man was holding a cigarette and looking at the scenery beside him.

"Smoking is harmful to your health, Uncle Chi."

Although I am used to the smell of tobacco on men, no one likes to inhale secondhand smoke.

The man paused in his movement of raising his hand to his mouth, then lowered his arm with the cigarette between his legs, took the can of beer from You Mu, took a sip, and washed away the smoke in his mouth.

Putting the beer aside, Chi Zhen leaned forward with his palms propped up, and explained: "It's been a habit for decades, and it's time to change it, but it's a bit difficult."

As he spoke, he raised his hanging arm to his mouth.

The inertial memory of muscles is always faster than the brain's reaction. Half of the cigarette fell to the edge of his mouth, but this time Chi Yu was unable to hold it in. Instead, he avoided the sparks and touched You Mu's face with the hand holding the cigarette.

"I think I need something else..."

You Mu watched the man gradually approach, and he slowly and tentatively pressed his lips against hers.

He didn't hide, but he didn't take the initiative either. He just raised his eyes and looked at her. At a distance that was too close, their eyes met.

Pupils are windows to the soul. When they look into each other's eyes, it's as if two souls are merging. The surrounding perception is slowly fading, as if only the person in front of you is left.

You Mu doesn't understand feelings. His experience is too shallow and he may not be able to distinguish subtle emotional differences.

But in his sober state, he knew that he was not opposed to the other party's approach. Those senses that were neglected in the haze gradually became clear at this moment.

The lips were pried open, and the other person caressed his cheek, going deeper and deeper.

He reached out to touch the other's shoulder and hooked his neck. He thought he was going to be rejected, but after a brief pause, the person who got a response became more wanton, turned around and pressed him against the rear window of the car and kissed him.

The sunlight moved lower and lower, and most of the light was blocked by the mountains. When You Mu was released, the sky around him darkened and the setting sun fell at his feet.

You Mu kicked his knee away from between his legs, propped himself up on the rear of the car with his hands, adjusted his breathing, and with the last glimmer of golden light in the distance, he looked at the man in front of him, tilted his head and said:

"Chi Zhen, I don't think you can suppress me forever. The things you gave me may turn into a sharp sword that stabs you one day."

The man knew exactly what You Mu meant, but since he could do such a thing, he was not afraid of being retaliated against in the future.

After extinguishing the cigarette butt that fell at his feet, Chi Yu leaned over and kissed the other person's lips: "Raising a falcon will always result in some backlash. I know this very well."

"But I think, perhaps after seeing the vast sky, this eagle will still land on the shoulders of its keeper." Reaching out and putting You Mu's arm around his shoulder, Chi Yu's eyes were full of confidence.

"You're confident?"

You Mu sneered, not understanding where the man got his confidence from. His eyes met the man's pupils, and he lowered his eyes and began to think.

So far, he has never given the other party a clear response. The only thing that seems to be a little bit inclined is...

"You eavesdropped on us?"

With a frown on his face, You Mu began to think about whether he had said anything he shouldn't have said during his conversation with Song Moyang.

"The camera is right there. I found the surveillance footage by my own ability. How can that be called eavesdropping?" The Song family was too suspicious. He had to be on guard. Fortunately, You Mu did not agree to the other party.

Although this cannot be used to determine the other party's heart, the fact that You Mu did not choose the path laid out by the Song family at least proves that his position in You Mu's heart is higher than that of the Song family.

The thought that was about to emerge was exposed. You Mu stared at the man for a long while, until night fell, then he turned his head, kicked the dirt at his feet, and cursed him in a low voice:

"Asshole...I was right to scold you before."

He pushed the person away from his side and kicked him at the same time to vent his anger.

You Mu combed her messy hair, opened the back door, and when she was about to get in, she turned around again:

"I am a little interested in you, but I don't think I am a loyal person. Chi Yu, I don't accept being cheated on. You'd better think it over before deciding whether to continue to tie me up."

Now that it has been pointed out, it is better to say it directly.

In the darkness of the night, only the car lights were flashing. The young man's cheeks were slightly red, and his earlobes were also very red.

"If you can let me just look at you, it's not unacceptable to continue living like this."

When the other party looked up and spoke of these things, he was extremely arrogant, as if even this opportunity was given to him as alms.

To be honest, Chi Zhen didn't expect to get a response on this day. His heart was beating wildly, and he felt an unusual and indelible itch.

He endured it again and again, but ever since that incident in the bar, his patience has been running low.

"It's getting dark, let's go."

After getting in the car, You Mu was unable to close the door. The man's hand pulled on one side and then used the opposite force to pull the door open.

"what?"

Just as he raised his head to ask, a shadow came over in front of him, pressing him down and folding down the back seat.

You Mu fell down due to inertia, and was restricted everywhere in the narrow carriage...

There were few people stopping here, and it took a long time for a truck to pass by quickly on the road. The lights were turned off, and the area was completely hidden in darkness.

The door of the back seat was open, and You Mu was not used to it, even though there were no people in the area for a hundred miles. The occasional beam of light from a car driving at night in the distance made him nervous reflexively.

"The door...close...close it."

He emphasized the matter of the car door many times, but the man always pretended to be deaf and dumb, which made him in a state of high tension throughout the whole process. In the end, when he was extremely sleepy, he was still concerned about the open car door.

"boom."

The door that had been open for a long time was finally pulled closed. When everything was over, the man finally closed the car door "before he realized it".

"Sorry, I forgot to close the door. Go to sleep." Chi Yu lowered his head and kissed the corner of the young man's eyes, comforting him.

Pack up your clothes and fasten seat belts for those sleeping in them.

In the darkness, they walked back home.
