The yard is full of roses and peonies, and the early morning twilight sprinkles on the fresh petals and green leaves, and a little bit of starlight shines out.

Bai Sinian walked along the path paved with square bricks between the two flower beds, and stopped in front of the rose flower bed. The dew on the leaves wet his suit trousers, he bent down, and looked at a few pink flowers. Floating over the white rose flowers, I finally chose a flower that was close to true red in color and bloomed like a double rose.

He folded off the rose, hid it behind him, walked to the door, and rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and Mama Wu stood inside and said in broken Mandarin, "Lawyer Bai, you're here."

With his hands behind his back, Bai Sinian held the freshly folded rose flower in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Is Mr. Jiang up yet?"

Wu Ma opened the door, put her hands neatly in front of her belly, and said, "It's upstairs."

Bai Sinian walked into the room, looked around the empty first floor, and then walked up the stairs.He found Zhan Xingyu's room familiarly, the door was ajar, and there was no one in it.

The study room on the second floor is at the corner of the corridor. Bai Sinian walked towards the study room with pressing steps, stood outside the door and pushed the door open, and he saw Zhan Xingyu. On the wall, a long table is neatly filled with various types of brushes and inkstones, and the slightly bitter smell of ink floats in the air.

Zhan Xingyu was kneeling on the hard floor of the study, with a row of inkstones in front of him, and was grinding ink on his knees.

Hearing the door opened, Zhan Xingyu raised his eyes to look at the door, and saw Bai Sinian standing outside the door, then lowered his head coldly, holding an ink ingot in his hand, and turning it mechanically in the inkstone.He was still wearing a shirt and suit pants, the cuffs were pulled up to the elbows, his two cool white forearms and hands were all stained with ink, and sporadic ink stains were also stained on his jaw, eyebrows and eyes.

With his hands behind his back, Bai Sinian walked towards him with a smile on his face, squatted in front of him, and said, "Morning."

Zhan Xingyu polished the ink all night, and couldn't kneel anymore, so he supported the floor with his left hand, turned the ink ingot with his right hand, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Bai Sinian wiped off some ink on his chin, and said, "Jiang Ying attacked the police, your grandfather asked me to come and solve the trouble."

Zhan Xingyu turned his head to avoid his hand, and said, "Nothing happened, why is he in such a hurry."

Bai Sinian pinched his chin and turned his face back, insisting on wiping off the ink on his chin, saying: "It will be too late when the incident happens."

Zhan Xingyu was forced to face him face to face, and said, "Don't think I don't know that you called Jiang Ying to the nursing home on purpose and arranged for Song Youhai to meet Jiang Ying on purpose."

Bai Sinian smiled softly: "Honey, I didn't intend to hide it from you."

Zhan Xingyu looked at him coldly.

Bai Sinian smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I brought you a present."

Zhan Xingyu was dubious: "What gift?"

The door opened, and Zhan Xingyu quickly lowered his head.

Bai Sinian got up and turned to the door, with his hands behind his back, he said with a smile, "Director Jiang."

As soon as Bai Sinian turned his back, Zhan Xingyu saw the rose flower hidden behind him, bright red, like a rose.

Bai Sinian stood in front of Zhan Xingyu, blocking Zhan Xingyu tightly, he held the flower branch and shook it lightly, motioning for Zhan Xingyu to catch the flower.

Zhan Xingyu held the flowers in his hands and hid his hands behind his back, just in time when he heard his grandfather call him out, so he walked towards the door with his hands behind his back and his head bowed. He took a closer look in his hand, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then limped back to his room.

Back in the room, he put Huashun on the table, took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. After taking a shower, he saw Bai Sinian sitting on his bed, spinning a Rubik's Cube in his hand , Said: "Your grandfather knows that Jiang Ying and Song Youhai met, and Song Youhai recognized Jiang Ying."

Zhan Xingyu walked towards the bed step by step, sat next to Bai Sinian, pulled up his trouser legs, exposing his red, swollen and bruised knees, and said, "Isn't this just what you want?"

He hugged his left leg and blew on his knee, then opened the bedside table and took out a bottle of trauma medicine.

Bai Sinian stood up, turned in front of him and knelt down on one knee again, took the medicinal wine from his hand, poured a little into his palm, and then pressed his palm on his knee.

The stinging skin touched the cold medicinal wine, the pain was so painful that Zhan Xingyu almost kicked Bai Sinian's chest with a knee-jerk reflex: "Be gentle!"

Bai Sinian raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "I thought that only on the bed would I have the chance to hear you say these three words."

Zhan Xingyu blushed, and kicked him.

Bai Sinian raised his hand to grab his ankle, and said with a slight smile, "Be good, I'm very angry with you now."

As expected, Zhan Xingyu became quiet, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mess with you."

Bai Sinian rubbed his knee lightly with his palm, and said, "You know where Jiang Ying is, but you didn't tell your grandfather, you are punishing Jiang Ying."

Zhan Xingyu lowered his eyes to look at him, and said expressionlessly: "This is your fault, I am punishing you for you."

Bai Sinian looked up at him, and asked seriously, "Will you be punished for me?"

Bai Sinian's eyes are long and narrow, with the corners of them flying out, like a sharp hook or a sharp machete. Every time he stares at him, Zhan Xingyu feels as if a sharp weapon has been pierced through his heart. Sharp tingling and choking sensation.He was very afraid of Bai Sinian, but he couldn't avoid Bai Sinian's gaze.Because the light in Bai Sinian's eyes is very bright and soft, like a jade bowl under the moonlight, filled with radiant amber light.

Zhan Xingyu didn't know the answer, but he said, "No."

Bai Sinian looked at him for a long time, then said with a smile, "Sure enough."

After speaking, he lowered his head again and concentrated on applying medicine to Zhan Xingyu.

Bai Sinian remained silent for the rest of the time, until after taking the medicine, he stood up and took out a few tissues to wipe his hands, and said, "I'm leaving first, I still have something to talk to your grandfather about."

Zhan Xingyu suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and grabbed him.

Bai Sinian looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhan Xingyu said: "Do you want me to be punished for you?"

Bai Sinian pushed his hand away, dusted the hem of his suit, and smiled, but his eyes were stern: "You won't, because you don't love me. You will do anything for Jiang Ying, but you won't do anything for Jiang Ying. I do anything."

Bai Sinian left and closed the door for him.

Zhan Xingyu felt sullen in his heart, and he didn't know who to send it to. He saw that the red rose on the table was not pleasing to the eye, so he tore off the rose petals, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of petals.

The door opened again, and Bai Sinian walked in. Seeing him picking flower petals, he paused, then picked up the mobile phone that was left on the table.

Zhan Xingyu held the bare flower branch for a moment, feeling inexplicably guilty: "No, the wind blows off the petals."

Bai Sinian ignored him, got the phone and left, and closed the door for him.

Zhan Xingyu covered his face and fell on the bed, heaving a long sigh.

Ten minutes later, he changed his clothes, took the car keys and went out.After getting in the car, he used the location navigation sent by Ye Chuyang, followed the navigation and drove to the corners of the low-end community.

Facia was putting on makeup in the room, and halfway through when she heard someone ring the doorbell, she yelled, "You didn't bring the key?"

The doorbell was still ringing, she put down her eyebrow pencil and ran to open the door with a crippled eyebrow on her face. When she opened the door, she froze, not daring to say anything: "Zhan, Mr. Zhan?"

Zhan Xingyu didn't sleep all night, his eyes were red and swollen, so he wore a pair of dark sunglasses, only showing his straight nose and tight lips, looking farther away from the fireworks than usual, and even less human, said : "I'll pick up Jiang Ying."

Facia continued to be confused: "Who? Mr. Jiang? Mr. Jiang is not at our house."

Zhan Xingyu felt that Facia was a fool, so he simply stopped talking to her, and took out his mobile phone to call Ye Chuyang, but before the call was dialed, he saw Facia waving into the corridor, "Cousin, hurry up!" come."

Ye Chuyang carried a bag of soy milk fried dough sticks and spring roll buns bought downstairs, walked slowly over, and politely greeted Zhan Xingyu: "Here we are."

Zhan Xingyu picked up his phone and looked at him through his sunglasses.

Facia: "Cousin, Mr. Zhan came to find Mr. Jiang, why is Mr. Jiang at our house?"

Ye Chuyang blasted her in: "Go in, and stop the guests from the door, would it be nice?"

Both Ye Chuyang and Zhan Xingyu entered the room, and Facia closed the door in a daze.

Zhan Xingyu looked at this shabby two-bedroom and one living room, and asked, "Where's Jiang Ying?"

Ye Chuyang put the breakfast on the dining room table, pointed to the door of his bedroom and was about to speak when he saw the door opened. Jiang Ying came out with his upper body naked, looking like he was still asleep.

Facia stared: "Boss Jiang? When did you come?"

Jiang Ying brushed his messy hair with his hands, and said casually, "Last night." He walked towards the bathroom, and when he passed by Zhan Xingyu, he pressed Zhan Xingyu's shoulder, "Wait for me for a while."

Zhan Xingyu walked to the restaurant and asked Ye Chuyang who was setting breakfast, "When did he come here?"

Ye Chuyang said lightly: "I sent you a text message 2 minutes ago."

Zhan Xingyu: "He didn't say where he went?"

Jiang Ying said, he said he wanted to beat Duan Xiaoyun to death, but Ye Chuyang concealed it and said, "No, he didn't tell me anything."

Ye Chuyang set up breakfast, pulled out a chair and sat down, pointed to the opposite side: "Mr. Zhan, please sit down."

Zhan Xingyu didn't sit down, and said, "What are you doing?"

Ye Chuyang picked up a cup of soy milk, inserted a straw, and said, "Actually, Jiang Ying told me something yesterday."

Zhan Xingyu: "What's the matter?"

Ye Chuyang glanced lightly at Zhan Xingyu, and said slowly, "He said he remembered something from two years ago."

He intentionally made his words vague, and led Zhan Xingyu to take the bait, and took the initiative to bring up the fire at Xiyuan Hotel, because if he asked directly, according to Zhan Xingyu's arrogant temperament, he would definitely not talk about it.

Zhan Xingyu looked indifferent: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chuyang: "Song Youhai said that Jiang Ying was the murderer who killed his daughter, do you know?"

Zhan Xingyu: "I just found out."

Ye Chuyang: "So? Don't you want to testify for Jiang Ying?"

Zhan Xingyu: "What proof?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Jiang Ying needs an alibi for the day when the Xiyuan Hotel caught fire."

Zhan Xingyu smiled and said, "Dr. Ye, you are actually very smart, but you are too bad at negotiating."

Ye Chuyang looked serious: "Then I'll just say it straight. Jiang Ying said that his memory is missing, and the missing part may be related to the fire at the Xiyuan Hotel. He is very distressed about this matter. Since you know it, you should Make up for this part of his missing memory."

Zhan Xingyu pulled out a chair and sat down, pushed his sunglasses and said with a smile: "I praised you for being smart just now, but you are pretending to be smart. Do you think I care less about Jiang Ying than you? Since I don't help If he regains his memory, there must be my reason."

Ye Chuyang: "What reason?"

Zhan Xingyu: "You have no position to know."

Ye Chuyang's face turned cold: "Does Jiang Ying have a position to know?"

Zhan Xingyu was silent for a while, and said: "You said just now that he is distressed because of memory loss, right? Let me tell you responsibly, if he regains his memory, he will be even more troubled."

Ye Chuyang: "You mean, you are protecting him?"

Zhan Xingyu: "At least I won't harm him."

Ye Chuyang snorted and laughed: "You said just now that I was overestimated, now I will give you this sentence."

Zhan Xingyu shrugged: "To each other."

The bathroom door opened, and Ye Chuyang and Zhan Xingyu smiled at the same time, and instantly turned their fighting into friendship. Ye Chuyang put the soy milk with a straw in front of Zhan Xingyu, and said, "Drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you." Zhan Xingyu took a sip of soy milk with a smile, and almost couldn't spit it out, "It's so hot!"

Ye Chuyang smiled: "So let you drink it while it's hot."

Jiang Ying glanced at them and said, "Xing Yu, come with me."

Zhan Xingyu followed Jiang Ying into Ye Chuyang's bedroom and closed the door.

Facia hurried to Ye Chuyang and said, "Cousin, why did you bring Jiang Ying back?"

Ye Chuyang pointed to her left cheek with chopsticks, and said, "One eyebrow is missing."

Facia immediately covered her face and went back to the room to touch up her makeup.

Jiang Ying and Zhan Xingyu came out after only staying in the room for a few minutes. Jiang Ying said to Ye Chuyang who was sitting in the dining room having breakfast, "Xingyu is gone."

Ye Chuyang sat still, smiling: "Go slowly, I won't see you off."

Jiang Ying sent Zhan Xingyu to the door, and Zhan Xingyu said: "Don't show up for the next two days, I will ask the side secretary to help you deliver the things. Don't worry about the police, I will help you deal with it. When grandpa leaves, I'll call you."

Jiang Ying briefly hugged Zhan Xingyu, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Before Zhan Xingyu could respond to Jiang Ying's hug, Jiang Ying had already let go of him. He was a little disappointed and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Jiang Ying watched him enter the elevator, then closed the door and went back to the bedroom, put on a short sleeve and came out again, took out a bottle of milk and a bag of bread from the refrigerator, went to the dining room and sat down opposite Ye Chuyang.

Ye Chuyang glanced at him, and said lightly: "What did you say?"

Jiang Ying poured the milk into the bowl, tore the bread into the bowl, and said, "It's nothing, Xing Yu told me not to go home for the next two days."

Ye Chuyang knew the reason, probably to hide from his grandfather, and said, "Then where do you live? A hotel?"

Jiang Ying tore the bread and looked up at him, and said with little confidence: "Can I... can I live with you?"

Ye Chuyang was a little surprised: "My room is very small, you will be much more comfortable staying in a hotel."

Jiang Yingdao: "I hate staying in hotels. If you don't agree, then I'll go home and stay."

Ye Chuyang didn't know when he became Jiang Ying's only choice, which made him a little anxious.But he quickly suppressed his jumping emotions, and said calmly: "You can live if you want, I agree."

Jiang Ying was happy, and smiled childishly, and peeled a boiled egg for Ye Chuyang as if courting him.

Ye Chuyang caught the round, white and tender egg he handed over, and also pursed the corners of his lips to show a little smile.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Chuyang's mobile phone on the dining table rang. The mobile phone was very close to Jiang Ying. As soon as Jiang Ying turned his head, he saw the caller ID, and his face immediately became cloudy.

Ye Chuyang had expected it, picked up his phone and saw it was Duan Xiaoyun.He glanced at Jiang Ying, took his mobile phone to the balcony to answer the call.

Jiang Ying stopped eating, stared at Ye Chuyang standing on the balcony talking on the phone with piercing eyes, and crushed the egg shells into powder.

After Ye Chuyang finished talking on the phone, he turned around and went back to the restaurant. He didn't dare to look at Jiang Ying's face, and said, "Eat quickly, and follow me to the police station after eating."

Jiang Ying: "What are you doing at the police station?"

Ye Chuyang said: "Didn't I tell you that a corpse was found in Lishui Jinyuan yesterday? I suspect that the corpse is related to Song Youhai. Today Haiyang may find clues. I want to ask. And Haiyang promised me yesterday I watch the surveillance video."

Jiang Ying scooped a spoonful of milk-soaked bread into his mouth, chewed the rotten soft paste, and said, "Why are you called Ye Chuyang?"

Ye Chuyang wondered: "Huh?"

Jiang Ying: "Your name is Ye Chuyang, and his name is Haiyang. Why are your names so similar?"

Ye Chuyang thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because their family has a good relationship with ours. My parents borrowed his name when they named me."

Jiang Ying said, "It doesn't sound good."

Ye Chuyang: "What doesn't sound good?"

Jiang Ying said with a straight face, "Haiyang's name doesn't sound good."

Ye Chuyang: "I think it's pretty good."

Jiang Ying looked up at him: "Your name doesn't sound good either."

Ye Chuyang was convinced, and Jiang Ying was looking for trouble again, so he came to find out what happened to him.He felt that Jiang Ying's behavior was naive and not worth pestering, so he said, "Yes, none of our names sound good, but yours sounds good, so hurry up and eat."

Jiang Yingdao: "My name doesn't sound good either."

Ye Chuyang didn't want to perfuse him, so he pretended not to hear.

Jiang Ying suddenly patted the table and said, "I want to change my name."

Ye Chuyang was taken aback: "Changed to what?"

Jiang Ying looked at him and said, "Jiang Yang."

Ye Chuyang put down the spoon, covered his face, and his shoulders trembled with laughter: "Jiangyang Bandit?"

Jiang Ying said seriously: "The Yang in your name is the Yang of Ye Chuyang."

Ye Chuyang was still laughing: "I never realized that my name is so popular."

Jiang Ying was very dissatisfied with his joking attitude, and frowned, "I'm serious, I really want to change."

Ye Chuyang continued to perfunctory him: "All right, all right, you are serious."

Jiang Ying: "Don't bully me, Ye Chuyang!"

Ye Chuyang's face became quiet, and he looked up at him abruptly: "Have you finished eating?"

Jiang Ying stared at him with such serious eyes, inexplicably feeling a little guilty: "Yeah."

Ye Chuyang raised his chin towards the bedroom: "Go and change after eating, we are going out."

Jiang Ying was extremely unwilling, but he still went back to the bedroom to change clothes.

Ye Chuyang squinted at him, and said coldly: "I'm a lot older than you, don't call me by my name in the future, it's very impolite. Remember?"

Although Ye Chuyang spoke softly, his words were like a handful of small arrows, piercing people all over.

Jiang Ying felt it was irritating, but his pride and courage did not allow him to bow his head, so he held his head high and said 'remember', and then slammed the bedroom door behind him.

Ye Chuyang was startled by the sound of the door slamming, then shook his head and sighed, sincerely feeling that the road to tame Jiang Ying is still as long as one hundred and eight thousand miles.
