brother's lover

Although he is a child in the outer room, he is still Kouichi's younger brother after all. After a short rest, the matter of guarding the spirit fell on Yanyi without hesitation.From the time he arrived at Xiyuan Temple's house, an endless stream of relatives and friends poured into the mourning hall.Yan Yi wore black mourning clothes and kept returning salutes to the guests he had never met.The death of the eldest son of a great entrepreneur is indeed a very solemn event.As for Mrs. Reiko's natal family, because it is also a rich family, there are so many relatives who need to socialize, which is a headache.Until midnight, the talent slowly dwindled.Under Mr. Nakagawa's persuasion, father and Mrs. Reiko went back to their room to rest, leaving only Yanichi and some helpers to guard Koichi's coffin.Yan Yi rubbed his sore knee, and heard the partition door being pushed open again, and the cold wind was brought in with wet rain.He exhaled heavily, straightened his body and bowed to those who came in.

The person who came in was a young man of 25 or [-] years old. When he met Yan with black pupils, Yan was startled.I never thought that any man would look so good-looking.The fair skin has a transparent texture, and the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, which looks like a fox.If the tall figure is not wearing a black suit but wearing a kimono skirt, Yan will think that he is one of those ancient legendary fairies in this luxurious house.

Maybe it's Brother Huangyi's friend... Yanyi frowned and looked at that person's side face thinking.Even if it's just a profile, it looks like a handsome man in a manga.Proud, with a touch of sadness.

What kind of relationship does he have with Kouichi?Brother Huang Yi who has such a friend is really enviable.Yan Yi's brain began to think wildly.

"Poor..." The man lit up the incense and made a sound while looking at Huang Yi's portrait.Yan Yi sighed and looked at him blankly.He turned his head to look at Yanyi, and there was a barely noticeable sneer in his fox-like eyes, "Are you, the other son of the Xiyuan Temple family?"

"Uh, my name is Xiyuanji Yanichi, please take care of me." Yan nodded.

"Take care." The man saluted without saying his name, got up and left.

After a tiring night of vigil, Koichi's coffin was escorted to the crematorium the next morning by monks and relatives.Seeing Koichi's emaciated body being sent to the incinerator, Mrs. Reiko, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, finally burst into tears.Everyone surrounded Mrs. Lizi to comfort her.Yan Yi stood aside, thinking that the last thing Mrs. Reiko needed was his own comfort, and he couldn't say any words of comfort.Retreating to the periphery of the crowd, Yan Yi couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the stove slowly being reduced to ashes.Although the number of times he has seen it is very small, Kouichi's voice and smile are no more familiar to him than any stranger. After all, he is a person related to him by blood. Can be rewinded.Life is a wonderful thing, and so is my mother.Yan Yi blankly withdrew from the crowd, thinking sullenly of the two blood relatives who had disappeared from his side, then turned around and suddenly saw the person who came to pay homage to Ko Yi last night.He stood not far away looking at Mrs. Lizi who was out of control, with a cruel smile on his face.

Seeing that Yanyi was looking at him, he glanced at Yanyi, put on his sunglasses, turned and left.Yanyi unconsciously wanted to follow, but Mr. Zhongchuan held him back, "Master Yanyi, where are you going?"

"Uh...no." As soon as Yan came back to his senses, he suddenly found that Mrs. Reiko, who was holding a handkerchief, looked at him with sinister and resentful eyes.He shivered, and turned to look at that person again. He had disappeared, and Mrs. Reiko stopped crying, surrounded by relatives, and gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Koichi's ashes were still steaming when they were sent out in the columbarium, and Yuhiko held them in his arms and brought them back to the Xiyuanji house, where they were enshrined on the altar.After the first seven days, it will be buried in the Xiyuan Temple Family Cemetery.The banquet for rewarding guests was held at the head of Xiyuan Temple.Yanyi sat beside his father and dealt with those strange relatives.

"Go and have a rest." The father said when he noticed that Yan Yi who was beside him was tired and dull.

"Hey..." Yan Yi hesitated for a moment.

"It's been hard at night vigil. Koichi will be very happy to know what you did for Koichi. Now go and rest." Father said again.

"Yes." Yanyi actually waited for this sentence for a long time, got up and staggered away from the banquet room.When I went out, I heard Mrs. Lizi's younger sister say in Mrs. Lizi's ear, "It's really not my brother, not only does he not even have any sad expression, but it's hard work to do this."

Mrs. Reiko glanced at Yan Yi from the corner of her eye, which was naturally not a very good look.Hiko shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, he was only staying in Tokyo for a few days.

Back in the room, Yan fell asleep as soon as he fell down, and slept until he was awakened by the sound of rain. The room was pitch-black. He opened the window and looked at the dark sky. It was already evening.The noise of the guests in the garden has dissipated, and it seems that most of those people have left.Yanyi sat by the window and looked at the yard.This should be a relatively secluded corner of the garden, and there are many plants that Hikoichi can't name.Among the plants, there are also some weeds that come out in the rainy day. They are green and full of vitality, which is completely opposite to the depressing atmosphere of this room.Hikoichi took a breath of the rain-smelling air and stretched.From getting off the car yesterday to now, I finally breathed a breath of fresh air freely.After a while, feeling hungry, he got up and walked out of the house, trying to ask the maid for something to eat.

The room was quiet, and the guests walked and rested.Yanyi walked for a long time in the long corridor, the complicated and empty room made him dazed for a moment, he didn't know which direction the kitchen was.Walking to the door of a small living room, I suddenly heard a few people whispering from inside.

"...He really took a big deal."

"That's right, the members of the Xiyuan Temple family are already thin. Once Akira dies, he will be the only heir."

"Reiko's face is really ugly. At the beginning, because of the illegitimate child, the world was turned upside down, and all my hopes were pinned on Koichi, but..." Several people snickered.

"I've heard... that although Kouichi got sick, he didn't die from it."

"what?"

"It seems to be suffering from an affair, and was treated very harshly by Reiko. After a while..." Several people clicked their tongues, and there was a hint of gloating in their words.

"What are you doing here?" A woman's voice sounded, Yan Yi was startled, and saw a maid walking slowly towards this side accompanied by Mrs. Lizi.It was the elderly maid who spoke, who seemed to serve Mrs. Reiko specially.Yanyi rubbed his head, and pushed the partition away, Yanyi saw Mrs. Lizi's younger sister among the few people who were taking pleasure in other people's misfortune.

"I'm sorry." Thinking about their private conversation just now, Yanyi glanced at Mrs. Lizi again, turned and left.

"Sure enough, he is from the countryside... He is as uneducated as his mother... Poor Koichi..." The relatives were mean to Yanichi in front of Reiko, almost flattering.Yan Yi frowned, remembering what they had said to Huang Yi just now, and felt a little resentment in his heart.But remembering what they said Kouichi didn't die of illness... Hikoichi felt a strange feeling in his heart.
