Qi Tongfu's family was poor, and he couldn't even eat a full meal, so he probably didn't dare to extravagantly ask for a bunch of candied haws; but Lin's son didn't even have a royal banquet, and he had never seen any delicacies, so why would he miss a bunch of candied haws?

Qi Jingsi looked at Lin Yu puzzled.

"Back then your father was about your age, sometimes uncle would think..." Lin Yu patted Qi Jingsi's head lightly.

"You think I resemble him?" Qi Jingsi said with some disdain.

"The only difference is age." Lin Yu chuckled, "Your father is much braver than you."

Qi Jingsi still vaguely remembered that Lin Yu once said in the Qi residence that it was Qi Tongfu who gave him the courage to leave the Lin family.

"Back then your father had nothing and was poor and desolate, but he often said things that seemed delusional, and sometimes he was even joked behind people's backs." Lin Yu shook his head helplessly, "I also had a lot of things I wanted to do when I was young, but even if it was just I want a bunch of candied haws, because I know my father doesn't like it, so I dare not even say it."

"At that time, I really envied your father."

"He will always do what he wants, and work hard. At that time, I only thought that he was optimistic and motivated, but I never thought that he would secretly—" He gritted his teeth slowly, "Unscrupulous."

"Jingsi." He rubbed Qijing's hair lovingly again, "Your father used everything to achieve his goal, it's certainly wrong, but you shouldn't dare to even try. "

"Little uncle..." Qi Jingsi buried her head in embarrassment, "I didn't..."

Lin Yu didn't expose it, just smiled softly, "Do you still remember the big yellow dog that guarded the door in the martial arts gym next door when you were young?"

The reason why Qi Jingsi had a little kung fu on the night she was kidnapped was because there was originally a small martial arts gym in the alley of the Qi family's ancestral house.

Although he was still young at that time, he didn't have many friends. At that time, he didn't understand why other people's parents always took their children to avoid him, until the small martial arts gym opened at the entrance of the alley.

He always likes to play with the big yellow dog at the gate of the martial arts hall. Although he was pointed at by people since he was a child, at least the little animal will not dislike him. He will take the leftover bones at home to see it, and it will wagging tail at him.

And the boxer in the martial arts gym is from other places, maybe he doesn't know the rumors in the market, or maybe the martial arts practitioners don't care about trifles, the boxer never treated Qi Jingsi harshly when he was a child.

"Uncle never thinks that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'. No matter what skill you like, I am willing to send you to learn it." Lin Yu slowly said what happened back then, "So you ran away When I came back and said that I wanted to learn boxing from him, I agreed."

"It's just because you are too young, I was afraid that you would hurt yourself, so I went to tell the master not to teach you how to dance with a gun."

Until one day, Qi Jingsi suddenly ran home crying and didn't speak no matter how much he asked. Lin Yu was worried that the child had suffered some kind of grievance outside, so he went to the martial arts gym on purpose. Only then did he know that it was the rhubarb that was guarding the door. The dog died.

The big yellow dog followed the boxer all over the world for many years, and it was considered to be the end of his life.

"Before that, you always liked the puppies and cats outside, and you always begged me to adopt one." Lin Yu sighed softly, "I always felt that our family couldn't have enough to eat Why do you want to implicate an innocent cat or dog?"

But after that time, after Qi Jingsi cried all afternoon, she never mentioned the matter of keeping cats and dogs again.

Lin Yu looked down at Qi Jingsi, "Later, you didn't even let me plant potted flowers."

"To this day, there are still only two or three moso bamboos in our yard that will never turn yellow."

"Jing Si... Uncle always knew..." His voice suddenly choked up, "No matter how good I am to you, I can never replace the biological parents a child needs."

"I always thought that you didn't want to face loss because you had too little. I always followed you, always thinking..."

"I thought that when you grow up, you will gradually get better."

"No...not, little uncle..." Qi Jingsi lowered her head and quietly wiped her tears on the mattress beside the couch, "Although my mother is pitiful, she also abandoned me, and Qi Tongfu is even more inhuman..."

"I don't kiss any of them...you are my dearest person..."

"Uncle didn't understand until recently—" Lin Yu patted Qi Jingsi's back, calmly comforting, "You avoided all beginnings in order to avoid endings."

"Stop talking...Little Uncle..." Qi Jingsi was already sobbing, "Stop talking..."

"Uncle wants to talk." Lin Yu's voice was gentle and firm, "Everyone has to do what he thinks is right, like me, like Yan Fei, and like you."

"That's why uncle decided to tell you everything."

Yan Fei will not give up on the pursuit of Qi Tongfu's criminal evidence, then he will definitely stand in the center of the vortex of this imperial power struggle and put himself in danger.

"Go here, Qi Tongfu is victorious. Uncle doesn't know if you can ask him to keep Yan Fei, but I know the world will be chaotic." Lin Yu leaned forward, holding Qi Jingsi's trembling shoulders with his bony hands, " If Qi Tongfu loses, I don't know if he will implicate you, but I know that Yan Fei will definitely not give up on you."

"He is a good boy, and so are you." As he spoke, he slowly let go of Qi Jingsi, and fell back on the couch baldly, "It was me and Qi Tongfu who were wrong, but it's never wrong to really love someone."

Qi Jingsi lay beside Lin Yu's bed, her whole body seemed to be taken out.

Just like what Lin Yu said, whether he admits it or not, he still likes Yan Fei.

And at sunset on the long embankment, he woke up when Yan Fei wiped his face, that kiss was enough for him to understand that he himself was the "sweetheart" Yan Fei said on New Year's Eve.

But what can be done?

Even Mr. Guangji, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, lost to rumors and supercilious eyes in the end, and lived as he is now. How could he and Yan Fei follow the old path of Lin Yu and Qi Tongfu.

It's not that he doesn't know what Yan Fei will face when he returns to Beijing, but how can he leave Lin Yu who is now so weak.

Before, maybe he was always silently looking forward to the news of Yan Fei in his heart, but for him every day now, no news is the best news.

He knew that if Yan Fei wanted to leave, he would at least send a letter to Lin Yu. He hoped that he would never know when Yan Fei would leave.

But hope is always just hope.

In the morning after more than half a month, when he opened the door, he saw Lin Yu waiting in the main room, holding a letter in his hand.

"Yan Fei has already arrived in Peixian County." Lin Yu put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly, "He will leave this evening, and I will meet you at the long pavilion ten miles north of the city."

"Jingsi." He got up and walked to Qi Jingsi's side, slowly holding Qi Jingsi's trembling hand, "Whether to go to see you off, or whether to go together, you can only decide for yourself."

*****

At the long pavilion in the north of the city, Li Chang waited not far away with a carriage, which was specially arranged by Lin Yu.

Yan Fei was still wearing the same blue shirt, waiting in the pavilion, from dusk to dusk, until the lights came up, he couldn't wait for Qi Jingsi's figure.

"Young Master Xiaoyan." Li Chang has come to urge him many times, "If you don't leave, it's really too late."

"I'm sorry." Yan Fei bowed apologetically, "Please get back in the car first, I'll be right there."

After Li Chang left, he took one last look in the direction of the county seat of Pei County. When he walked out of the long pavilion slowly, he saw a figure hidden behind a tree in the dense forest in the distance.

Although it was impossible for him to see clearly who was coming under such light and distance, it was just this blurred glance that instantly cleared up his almost desperate mood.

He staggered and ran towards the figure, but finally fell awkwardly when he was about to get close.

After a while, the figure behind the tree finally came out reluctantly and helped him up.

"Qi Jingsi!" He shook off Qi Jingsi's hand, "Have you been here all the time! Why are you avoiding me!"

"I don't." Qi Jingsi turned her face away, "I just..."

"Passing by."

As he said that, he turned to leave, but someone grabbed his sleeve again.

"Qi Jingsi... What the hell are you..." Yan Fei said aggrievedly, "How many times do you want to 'pass' by me?"

"Master Xiaoyan..." Qi Jingsi didn't turn around, "It's a good journey."

As he spoke, he slowly pulled away the sleeves that Yan Fei was clutching. Every step he took seemed to be accompanied by the sound of the heavy rain in his heart. Even Yan Fei's voice seemed to be buried in the rain, which made him suddenly I feel as if I'm in a hallucination—

"Qi Jingsi!"

Yan Fei's voice was trembling.

With Qi Jingsi's footsteps stopping, he slowly circled in front of Qi Jingsi——

"My heart pleases you."

Qi Jingsi looked down at the thin green shirt standing in front of him, he felt that maybe in the next moment, he would forcefully pull the person into his arms.

But in the end he just smiled bitterly.

"You will like many people, like your father, like your mother, like little uncle, like Yan Yi, like..."

He didn't know what he was talking about, but the next moment, Yan Fei suddenly tiptoed and planted a kiss on his side——

Just like on the Causeway that day.

So all the inexplicable words were locked back in his throat again.

"You were awake that day, right?" Yan Fei gently took Qi Jingsi's hand, "You clearly know what I'm talking about."
