"Chenpi, wait for me!"

Jinnian had just finished washing up and was about to go out to the front hall to eat when he saw a familiar figure passing by the door.

"where are you going?"

“Chenpi!”

“Chenpi!”

Seeing that the man ignored him, Jinnian had no choice but to follow him, and he even had to jog to keep up with the man who was walking fast.

"Hey!"

Jinnian accidentally tripped over a bump on the ground, his small body swayed, and he fell to the ground.

Chenpi saw it out of the corner of his eye, and hurried forward to catch the person who was about to fall to the ground.

He frowned. If he hadn't arrived in time and couldn't catch it, the person with thin skin would definitely have bruises and marks.

"Why are you so careless?"

Jinnian helped him stand up with the help of his hand and patted the hem of his clothes embarrassedly.

"You didn't see it!"

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

In the past, Chenpi would have breakfast together, and after breakfast he would usually be busy doing something else. After Jinnian grew up, Chenpi was no longer as idle as he was when he was a child, and he was always nowhere to be found. Unless Jinnian told him in advance that he was going to catch crabs the next day, or that he was going to eat dim sum at a certain restaurant today, Chenpi would wait for him to finish his meal and take him there.

These two days, after coming back from Jinnian, Chenpi inexplicably didn't come to eat breakfast. Jinnian and Er Yuehong mentioned it to him, but Er Yuehong didn't ask him to come, and just said that Chenpi was busy with something.

Er Yuehong has been very busy recently. I don’t know if she is in the opera theater or somewhere else. She always comes back at night and hugs him to sleep.

Both of them were away, which made him very annoyed. He was stuck at home every day and was very bored.

Uncle Fu also said that he had to stay at home for a few days to see how effective the new medicine made by his brother was.

"Don't eat."

"Why don't you eat again? What have you been doing these past two days?"

"When will you take me out to play?"

"I'm going to die of boredom at home!"

Chenpi lowered his head and looked at the lively person in front of him. He was like a little bird flapping its wings to fly, its wings were not yet fully grown, but it was eager to see the outside world.

Jinnian doesn't look like a canary trapped in a cage, but she also carries an imperceptible cage called love.

He was thinking, why couldn't he be the one to build the cage?

Chenpi looked at Jinnian for a while, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"...........Have you taken the medicine?"

When Jinnian heard him mention medicine, she poked her cheek with the tip of her tongue in grievance.

"No... Uncle Fu asked me to eat first, saying that my brother had just revised the prescription and the new medicine was not ready yet."

"Changing the recipe..............ha, he is really amazing......."

Chen Pi sneered and praised someone, but there was no respect in his eyes.

Jinnian always felt that there was something wrong with Chenpi's expression. It was different from usual. Now, he seemed particularly...cold?

Chenpi reached out and touched Jinnian's cheek.

Jinnian didn't dodge until her soft cheek was touched twice by a calloused hand and it felt so itchy that she slapped his hand away.

Chenpi was not annoyed, but raised his chin and looked at the bright red lips.

Jinnian felt inexplicably guilty when he looked at her with his wolf-like eyes.

Wait a minute, think about it carefully, why should he be weak?

“Hehe…”

Jinnian tilted her head and wanted to bite him in dissatisfaction, but her cheek was pinched tightly and she couldn't move.

"Ouch, stop touching it!"

"Why, he can touch it, but I can't?"

Jinnian looked up at him in confusion, not understanding what he was saying.

Chen Pi looks very fierce and aggressive now. He has never been fierce to him since he brought him back from the alley!

Jinnian was pinched on the face by him, and she looked at him with her dark eyes without blinking. After a while, the corners of her eyes turned red, and she looked at him stubbornly.

When Chen Pi saw tears in his eyes, he immediately panicked. He no longer dared to think about what could be touched and what could not be touched. He threw everything out of his mind.

"Don't cry, don't cry............"

Chenpi had let go of his hand a long time ago, but there were still red marks on Jinnian's face, as if he had been bullied, so pitiful.

He was indeed bullied, and the person who "bullied" him was at a loss. His rough hands gently brushed the corners of his eyes, trying to wipe away his tears, but ended up making the area even redder.

"I was wrong, I was wrong.....I want to bring you Cui Yu Xuan...or do you want to see crabs?"

“Woooooooo… hum… crab… I want crab…”

Jinnian was already very depressed because no one paid attention to him and he couldn't go out to play, and after being provoked by him like this, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Fortunately, Chenpi didn’t know the reason and just thought that he had been mean to the person.

"I want to go out and play instead of staying at home."

Chenpi wanted to wipe his tears, but seeing that the spot was red, he didn't dare to touch it. He handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe it himself. When he heard that Jinnian was going out, he frowned.

"Wait until you're better, then go out. I'll catch crabs for you, lots of them for you to play with."

Jinnian pursed her lips, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and kicked the step next to her.

"don't want.............."

"Then send me to the Huo family, and I'll go find Jin Xi and Xiangu."

Chen Pi remained silent. He didn't like him getting too close to the Huo family. That group of people were always up to something.

"How about crabs?"

"No! If you don't take me to see it, I don't want to!"

I pinched the tangerine peel on my fingertips, and the warm touch seemed to still remain on them.

He really needs to do something.

Chen Pi glanced at Jin Nian. What he was about to do couldn't be seen by Jin Nian. Most likely, he would have nightmares at night after seeing it.

"Then where do you want to go?"

"Hmph... Then I'm going to go find Master Wu!"

"I want to play with the puppy!"

Chenpi's expression finally relaxed slowly, and he nodded slightly to agree to Jinnian's request.

His eyes were fixed on Jinnian's face which was filled with a bright smile, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart. He had just said firmly that he would take him out after the man recovered, but when he acted coquettishly, he immediately changed his mind. Chenpi secretly despised his own indecision in his heart, but it was not easy to send the man back after he had just agreed to it.

Anyway, he enjoyed it very much.

"Let's go."

Although Chenpi's voice was plain, it contained a subtle tenderness. He thought, never mind, as long as this person was happy.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Jinnian's voice was clear and a little anxious.

His eyes were sparkling like stars, his fair face was faintly flushed with excitement, his long white hair was casually gathered up into a small ponytail, hanging at his neck, a little messy. Er Yuehong was not there, and he had no time to find someone else to tie his hair, so he could only do it casually by himself.

"I'm going to get something, please don't leave yet."

After Jinnian finished speaking, he jumped away like a young deer.

Chenpi had no expression on his face. He leaned lazily on the railing with his hands in his pockets, but his eyes were closely following Jinnian's figure. It was unclear what was going on in his deep eyes, which were flickering, but his gaze never left.

Out of boredom, Chenpi picked up a grass root and put it in his mouth to chew.

The grass roots exuded a little bit of sweet juice in his mouth, and his mouth was full of the fresh aroma of grass. He squinted his eyes slightly, enjoying the breeze mixed with water vapor hitting his face.

After a while, Jinnian came running over breathlessly, carrying a bunch of things.

Chenpi took a look and saw that the blush on Jinnian's fair little face became more obvious, and fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.

He was panting and wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, looking like a tired kitten.

Chenpi spat out the chewed grass leaves and hurried forward to help him get it.

As soon as Chenpi took the bag that contained something unknown, he stumbled due to the weight. He frowned and looked at Jinnian with confusion.

When I turned around, I saw Jinnian's fair face, his clear eyes flashing with excitement, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth revealed his good mood at the moment.

"............You want to live in his house?"

Chenpi's voice was cold, and it was unclear what he was angry about.

Jinnian put away the handkerchief, and the whole person looked refreshed. He shook his head and looked at Chenpi in confusion: "No, why do you ask?"

"........"

Chenpi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"What's in it?" Chenpi looked at Jinnian, then his gaze fell back on the bag he was carrying on his shoulder.

Jinnian looked at Chenpi and blinked mischievously: "I won't tell you, it's a secret!"

Chenpi pursed his lips and looked at him helplessly, but he couldn't do anything about him.

Anyway, it’s okay as long as I don’t live there.

He took Jinnian out of the yard. When the gatekeeper saw that it was him who took Jinnian out, he didn't ask much. He just kept a careful eye on it and made a note of it in case Uncle Fu or the Second Master came to ask about it later.

...............

Chenpi really brought Jinnian to Wu Ye's place, but standing at the door, he didn't want to go in no matter what.

Perhaps it was because his previous life was too difficult. When he was the most poor and destitute, he even had to compete with dogs for food. At that time, there was no dog within a ten-mile radius that was not afraid of him.

Until now, every time he goes to the alley, the dogs will still walk around him from a distance. In fact, he has been brave since he was a child and is not afraid of anything. However, when he grew up, he still doesn't like dogs very much.

"Aren't you coming in?"

Jinnian stood in the yard with a clear and pleasant voice. As soon as he entered, many dogs surrounded him.

After a while, three or four puppies appeared staggeringly. They seemed unable to walk steadily, but they tried hard to move towards Jinnian.

Most of the big dogs moved towards Chenpi, the stranger. Perhaps they regarded the familiar Jinnian as a cub who needed protection, and they all stood in front of Jinnian.

Chenpi felt quite curious as he looked at the dogs in front of him that were baring their teeth at him.

All along, only Wu Ye's dog was not afraid of him. When other stray dogs saw him, they would run away. At this moment, seeing that Jinnian had been surrounded by the dogs, Chenpi lowered his head slightly and told Jinnian in a low voice that he would not go in.

"I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

After Chenpi finished speaking, he turned and left.

When Jinnian raised her head, she could only see his back gradually moving away.

Before Jinnian had time to feel any emotions, he was bumped into by several dogs.

"Tiger girl!"

Jinnian recognized one of them at a glance. The dog named Huniu was biting his robe and pulling it forward, as if inviting him to play with it.

Jinnian couldn't help laughing at Huniu's cute behavior. He squatted down and gently stroked Huniu's head.

Hu Niu closed her eyes comfortably and let out a soft humming sound.
