I'm super delicate

The Guan family has two houses.One is an old house, located on Tashan Mountain in Lingshui District, north of the Yangtze River, hidden among the mountains and greenery; the other is a new house, located in the center of Ninghai City, where every inch of land is expensive.

Although the temperature in Ninghai City is suitable all year round, the dog days are still uncomfortable.The previous head of the Guan family was in poor health, so he would take everyone to the old house on Tashan every time of fall and fall, and did not return to the new house in the city center until the autumnal equinox.

The current Patriarch Guan Tong has inherited this habit, but it is only the first ten days of June, and he has actually moved into the old house.Although they had doubts, Xi Changlin and He Chi still wanted to drive there.

In Ninghai City, even if it is sunny when you go out, you should bring an umbrella in case the weather suddenly turns bad, and you should even pack a thin coat in your carry-on bag to avoid catching a cold due to a sudden drop in temperature.

He Chi asked Emi to prepare everything in the car before pulling Xi Changlin up from the bed.

The young man followed He Chi into the bathroom with half-closed eyes, took the toothbrush he squeezed out of toothpaste, and began to brush his teeth mechanically and slowly, just like a robot with a low gear.

He Chi didn't rush, leaned against the door frame, and talked to Xi Changlin while looking at him: "Really only plan to have a sandwich for breakfast? I think the Guan family intends to keep us for dinner. I guess you won't eat much. So can you eat more now?"

Xi Changlin slowly let the toothbrush work in his mouth for 3 minutes before spitting out the foam in his mouth.

After rinsing his mouth and washing his face, he said, "There is a ramen shop nearby. Let's eat a bowl of ramen before heading to Tashan."

He Chi nodded, agreeing.

When the two left the suite one after the other, Jia Guoping, who had been given a day off by Xi Changlin, just came out of the elevator, and ran over immediately when he saw the young man.

"Changlin, don't you want me to accompany you when you visit Guan's family today?" The manager looked worried, as if he was worried that his child would make a fool of himself in a big event.

Xi Changlin was still in a state of sleepwalking, his eyes were only half opened, staring at the heels of He Chi who was walking in front, in case he went on the wrong road, he seemed unaware of Jia Guoping's question.

The agent followed him forward and asked again beside him.

He Chi suddenly became impatient, turned around and pulled Xi Changlin into his arms.Xi Changlin finally raised his eyelids, and smiled softly, with a slightly hoarse voice, "I thought Brother Jia, you would ask why I went to Guan's house."

Jia Guoping was startled.

"You seem to think it's natural for me to go to Guan's house." Xi Changlin covered his face with his hands and yawned, his eyes blinked and became watery again, he simply lowered his eyes and said, "But I didn't tell you , What is the relationship between me and the Guan family in Ninghai City?"

"Couldn't it be that Director He is going and you accompany him?" Jia Guoping covered his expression and said in a calm tone.

"Oh—so that's the case. This reason seems to be very plausible." Xi Changlin suddenly realized, and then smiled, "But you got it wrong, He Chi accompanied me."

The elevator that was pushed down returned to the top floor. He Chi took Xi Changlin in, cast a light glance at Jia Guoping, and stopped him from the door.

The elevator went down quickly, Jia Guoping was still standing in the brightly lit corridor, the door diagonally opposite Xi Changlin and his room swung open, and Lou Yang walked out expressionlessly.

He glanced at Jia Guoping, and asked coldly, "Are they going to the Guan family?"

Jia Guoping replied "yes" and greeted Lou Yang again.

The ramen near the hotel has a Japanese-style signboard, and it is also placed on the street like a Japanese ramen shop, with a roof, hanging lanterns and flags, but the taste is not authentic. The chef and owner combined the local people's taste Eating habits, the taste is very strange, but not unpalatable, the soup base is thick, fresh and spicy.

If you have to say it, this is probably Ninghai City's special Japanese-style ramen.

Xi Changlin used a wooden spoon to mix the chopped green onion and coriander sprinkled on the noodles into the soup. After stirring with the bamboo chopsticks, he picked up a pinch of the mixed soup and put it into a small bowl beside him. When He Chi was not paying attention, he added some A spoonful of chilli.

"I never asked, what did you tell Emi to tell the Guan family?" Xi Changlin asked He Chi casually.

"Hi, is this Manager Guan? I'm the assistant of Director He of Storm Entertainment. I'm calling this time to ask you to convey something for me. Mr. Xi Changlin hasn't been home for three years because of his busy schedule. He misses him very much." Mr. Guan, Mrs. Guan and the two elder brothers happen to be working in Ninghai City this time, and he wants to come and meet everyone in person. We want to set the time in two days, is that okay?"

He Chi didn't notice Xi Changlin's small movements. He poured the soup from the ramen bowl into a small bowl spoon by spoon, and repeated Emi's words, even the tone of voice, straight from beginning to end. .

Xi Changlin took another chopstick to ramen and put it into a small bowl, covered the pepper, and said, "It's Emi's style. The butler answered the phone? What did the butler say?"

"Of course it's 'I'll convey this on my behalf, and I'll call you back later'." He Chi said.

"Oh, it's the style of the butler. It seems that I have been away for three years, and the butler has not changed." Xi Changlin rolled his eyelids, and added a spoonful of soup into the small bowl.

He Chi chuckled: "He changed his surname to Guan, so of course he won't resign so early."

Xi Changlin nodded, mixed the noodle soup in the small bowl, took a slow bite, and said: "After all, he is the 'elder of the two dynasties', so of course he is reluctant to 'retire and return to his hometown' so early."

The peppers in this ramen shop are divided into millet peppers, chopped peppers, and green peppers. Xi Changlin likes the last one, so he secretly added it a few times. The last time, He Chi slapped his paw and caught him.

Fortunately, there were enough seasonings in the bowl, Xi Changlin showed dissatisfaction on his face, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Before leaving to pay the bill, he lowered his eyes and suddenly said in a low voice, "This old butler is quite difficult to deal with."

From the film and television base to Tashan, the distance is equivalent to crossing the entire Ninghai City. It takes about two hours for Emi to drive on the highway to reach the foot of Tashan.

Xi Changlin closed his eyes as soon as he sat in the car, thinking about something at first, then gradually fell asleep, his head tilted and fell on He Chi's shoulder.

"Is he sleeping too much lately?" He Chi frowned and asked worriedly.

"Mr. Xi used to be like this?" Emi was a little surprised, the artificial intelligence didn't see any difference between Xi Changlin and the one they had come into contact with in the fast travel world.

"I used to be lazy, but now I can sleep with my eyes closed except for the normal rest at night." He Chi helped Xi Changlin adjust his posture, and then stuffed the pillow into his arms, "Notify the hospital and let them get down Be ready at any time during the month, and I will take Xi Changlin there for an examination."

Emi said softly "Hmm", her hands are still on the steering wheel, but the mobile phone in the bracket has switched to the text message interface, and a message is being entered - the system equipped by the Lord God for the tasker, regardless of whether the entity is obtained through props, can be directly connected Electronic equipment.

When we arrived at Tashan, the weather really changed. The wind blew the shadows of the trees, and the fine gravel rolled all the way, making noise.

Xi Changlin just woke up, got up from He Chi's lap, turned his head, and looked out through the glass.

They were passing by the lotus lake at the foot of the mountain, and when the sky turned blue, the green waves turned up, and the slim red and white flowers couldn't help shaking, and a few of them that were about to wither went straight up to the cloudy sky, and then fell suddenly, and were photographed on the car window .

wow-

"Yaofeng." Xi Changlin said softly.

He Chi took out his coat and wrapped it around the young man irrefutably.

The latter wore a light gray shirt today, not Iro's haute couture, but a new one from Noble, the brand he endorsed, and only had three samples.The design is as simple and atmospheric as ever, with a low collar and a crane embroidered with dark thread on the back, which can only be seen when walking in a low-light environment.

And He Chi's coat is Iro's, off-white, and when the zipper is pulled to the top, all Noble's designs are covered.

Xi Changlin glanced down and thought that if Liszt was here, he would probably jump up and beat He Chi up.

"It's still a while before getting off the car, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Xi Changlin said with a smile, since he just woke up not long ago, his voice was soft and he had no strength.

He Chi retorted with a cold snort: "When you get to the place, you push the door and leave, and you still have time to get dressed?"

"Okay, okay, it's hard to go back to 'home', you should do your tricks." Xi Changlin bit the word 'home' hard, with a cool smile in his smile, "After all, because they were weak since childhood, That's a weakness they're well aware of."

He Chi smiled and said nothing.

The Guan family is a family with a long history.

At the beginning, the business of tea and timber flourished in the Central Plains. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole family moved from the north to Ninghai City, where they escaped the catastrophe of artillery fire. With the assets brought from the north, they started their business in the southwest. big.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation was slightly declining, but after the reform and opening up, the descendants of the Guan family went to sea one after another, and various industries blossomed everywhere.

BR company is one of the industries of the Guan family. It plays an important role in the domestic entertainment industry and has won three king-level figures. A newcomer in their family who has been popular recently has a faint tendency to become the fourth.

Although there are more popular people and more people who rush, the entertainment industry has always been such a place, where the drought dies, and the flood dies, which is not even at all.

The Guan family's old house hidden behind the greenery appeared in the field of vision. It was a unique stilted building in the southwest mountainous area.

"It's cool here, but there are also many mosquitoes." Before getting out of the car, Xi Changlin said quietly, "Although we wear long-sleeved trousers, they can still get in."

Unexpectedly, He Chi responded with a long voice, and took out an ointment from the pile of items prepared by Emi next to him, "So I prepared the anti-worm medicine in advance, do you want me to apply it for you?"

Xi Changlin's eyes became cold: "Do you think you are Doraemon, and you can make people happy by changing things?"

Even though he said this, Xi Changlin still grabbed the ointment, rolled up his sleeves, squeezed out a portion and spread it on his arm.

"Do you want some too?" Xi Changlin said to He Chi, spreading his arms evenly.

"Maybe it's because of my physique. I don't attract mosquitoes by nature." He Chi shrugged his shoulders to signal that he didn't need it, and then asked, "Don't you paint on your legs?"

Xi Changlin glared at him angrily: "Why don't you let me take a bath with this cooling ointment?"

Provoked a snort.

The car gradually drove into the area of ​​the Guan family's old house. From a distance, the housekeeper and several servants could be seen standing at the door. Xi Changlin clasped his hands on the pillow and smiled softly.

"Mr. He, the Guan family doesn't give you face very much. They knew you were coming, but the housekeeper and servants greeted you at the door."

He Chi laughed, "I even guessed that Guan Li and Guan Zhi wouldn't come back."

"That's boring." Xi Changlin stretched his waist, "Running all the way here, this is what greeted us."

"Maybe there will be unexpected gains." He Chi said.

Emi stopped the car at the door, handed the key to one of the servants, and he went to park.

The aged old housekeeper bowed to He Chi and Xi Changlin to salute, first he called "Mr. He" and then "Third Young Masters".

Xi Changlin didn't care, and asked with his eyes bent: "How are Mr. and Mrs. Guan recently?"

"Mister's condition has improved a little recently, but Madam's health has been good..." He paused and said "ah" softly, "The third young master probably didn't know about the fact that Mr. was ill a few months ago Bar?"

From the day he was adopted into the Guan family, when Guan Tong and Yan Xinting became Xi Changlin's legal parents, until he left the Guan family and unilaterally severed contact, he never changed his name to call those two people "Dad" and "Mom".

That sense of resistance and rejection is inherent, but these two people don't force it, as if adopting him is just a task, not out of other sympathy or affection.

Hearing the news of Guan Tong's illness, Xi Changlin showed appropriate surprise and worry, and asked as he walked in, "What's wrong with Mr. Guan?"

Butler: "It's about the heart. I just had a heart bypass surgery some time ago."

Xi Changlin nodded, "Is it convenient to visit now?"

"Sir, I heard that you are coming back, so I woke up early, and now I am waiting in the study on the third floor," said the housekeeper.

"Well, I'll go there now." Xi Changlin said, "Where's Madam?"

Housekeeper: "Madam and the second young master are fishing in the stream behind, and they said that the third young master will rarely come back, so he needs to make some preparations himself."

Along the way, Xi Changlin walked half a step ahead of He Chi, talking to the butler with a slight smile, but the latter didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction, and his expression was very natural, as if he was really just an escort.

The butler watched it calmly, gestured backward with the hand hanging by his side, and a servant who followed them quietly turned into another path.

"Does Mr. He have any taboos?" When he went upstairs, he asked He Chi.

He Chi's tone was slightly cold: "Whatever you three young masters avoid, I will avoid."

As soon as these words came out, anyone present who was a person with sound intelligence could understand He Chi's protection and connivance towards Xi Changlin.

"Don't listen to him, he doesn't eat mutton, bamboo shoots, or fish with too many spines, and the taste shouldn't be too greasy and spicy." Xi Changlin turned around with a smile, and looked down upon He Chi after He Chi took a step beside him. said the housekeeper.

The butler who had served two generations of Guan family heads immediately sent another servant to the kitchen to tell the chef about these taboos.

Seeing the man go away, Xi Changlin seemed to think of something again, and said: "Oh, there is one more thing, the meat should not be too fat."

So the only remaining servant also left.

The housekeeper sent them to the stairs on the third floor, bowed slightly and retreated.

Because the sky was too light, the light in the corridor seemed dim, Xi Changlin and He Chi walked up together, when their hands were suddenly grabbed, and then the tiger's mouth was pinched.

"Just keep your eyes open and talk nonsense if you don't want to leave the draft, right?" He Chi's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed, like a sea that is gradually shrinking.

"It's okay, you don't eat greasy and spicy food, and you have never seen you eat mutton and fish with a lot of thorns." Xi Changlin spread his hands, "Besides, I didn't say that you only eat cabbage and fish. It is good enough to eat only the belly of the fish and the palm of the goose’s feet.”

"Yes, everything you say is right." He Chi patted the top of Xi Changlin's head helplessly, and continued walking forward pushing his shoulder.

The study room is located at the end of the corridor on the third floor, and it is difficult for light to reach here. The door is a bamboo door, and the lettering and carvings on it are difficult to see.

Xi Changlin is not familiar with this place, but he is not unfamiliar either.

He pushed the door open without hesitation and entered, but what he saw when he walked in was an unexpected scene.

In my impression, Guan Tong is a tall and elegant man, otherwise Xi Changlin's mother, Xi Chun, would not fall for him.Over the years, although many crow's feet have developed in the corners of Guan Tong's eyes, they did not compromise his demeanor, but instead added a bit of maturity - at least the last time Xi Changlin saw him in a media program, it was still the same.

But the current Guan Tong is completely the image of a dry old man.He looked as if he had reached the age of 80, skinny, with deep wrinkles, dry skin, cloudy eyes, and the whole person was huddled in the chair, like a skeleton hanging in it.

Is this really Guan Tong?

Xi Changlin had doubts in his heart.

But when the people at the table saw Xi Changlin, they reacted completely differently—it was like walking in the desert and seeing an oasis, floating in the waves and touching driftwood, his eyes lit up like redemption!

He opened his mouth a few times, trying hard to say something to Xi Changlin - but he could only utter monotonous syllables, like a roar squeezed out of his throat, not like a human language at all.

After a second, he realized that he couldn't express what was in his heart, and he struggled to reach out to Xi Changlin—it wasn't a hand at all, but a withered claw!

"You—" Xi Changlin frowned, strode to the chair, fixed his eyes on the people inside, and looked at the people in it, until he saw the two moles on his pale neck. Confirm the person's identity.

Xi Changlin was surprised and said, "You are really Guan Tong!"

"Uh-uh-"

Guan Tong only made such a sound.

Xi Changlin frowned, calling out the system in his heart.

"There are four surveillance locations, behind the door, on the window sill, in the overhead light, and in Guan Tong's chair. There are two recording devices in flower pots and drawers." Needless to say, the system immediately checked the study.

"Scan everything and save it as a model." Xi Changlin said.

The system immediately went to work.

He Chi walked up behind Xi Changlin, raised his hand to press his shoulder, motioned him not to be too impatient, then pulled two empty chairs in the room over, and sat with him opposite Guan Tong.

"I don't know Mr. Guan's situation, so I came here empty-handed. I'm really rude." He Chi quietly grabbed Xi Changlin's hand, and said to Guan Tong in an apologetic tone.

The Patriarch of the Guan family had already fallen back into his chair, looking listless, as if his strength had been exhausted by the hissing and movements just now.

But he wasn't too rude after all, he blinked his eyes as a response to He Chi.

After Xi Changlin looked over the study without any trace, his eyes fell back on Guan Tong, and he frowned and said, "Just now the housekeeper told me that you just had a heart bypass operation not long ago."

Guan Tong blinked again.

It is difficult for two people who are not close and have never known each other to understand the emotions and meanings conveyed by each other through subtle expressions, but Xi Changlin strangely understands Guan Tong's meaning - "no".

Xi Changlin nodded, pretending to misunderstand what he meant, and said, "I heard that this operation requires a long rest, so I won't bother you."

Guan Tong's eyes widened instantly.

"Cultivate well." Xi Changlin said this with a smile, took his hand out of He Chi's, and stood up slowly.

He Chi followed Xi Changlin to the door, but the moment the young man was about to stretch out his hand to open the bamboo door, Wu Wu turned around and asked Guan Tong: "It must be boring for you to sit by yourself, do you want me to turn on the computer for you and let you Watch a movie or TV show?"

The light in the eyes of the person slumped in the chair went out, Xi Changlin acted as if he hadn't seen it, and with a usual smile on his lips, he walked to the table and turned on the computer.

Every time Xi Changlin followed Guan Tong to the computer in the study room of the old house, he would come here in the middle of the night to secretly play with it. No matter how the equipment was updated, the password was always the same.

In front of Guan Tong and the surveillance camera, Xi Changlin entered the six numbers, pressed Enter, and entered the desktop.

"What do you want to watch?" Xi Changlin opened the video website and scrolled the mouse wheel, "Suspense movies, science fiction movies, martial arts movies or romance movies? Let's watch science fiction movies. I remember a good one recently. What's it called..."

His slender white fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, a few words appeared in the search box, and then clicked the mouse to complete the search.

The advertisement of the video website popped up, and Xi Changlin kindly moved the mouse to the login at the top to log in to his member account.

"This movie is pretty good, Mr. Guan, you won't be too boring." Xi Changlin smiled at Guan Tong, turned back to the door, and walked out with He Chi.

Step by step from the darkness to the light, when he was about to reach the stairs on the third floor, Xi Changlin hooked Gou Hechi's fingers and said with a smile: "The room I used to live in should still be there, take you to see it?"

He Chi turned sideways, this action just blocked the surveillance camera in front of them.

Xi Changlin swept He Chi's index finger with his index finger and made a mouth shape: "surprise surprise".
