Junior tour.

The Hou family's old house still maintains its original appearance, simple and low-key.The loquat tree in front of the court was planted by Hou Jia and his wife with Hou Qi when Hou Jia was born, and now it has grown very lush.

Hou Yan strolled past the stone steps in front of the house, as if he saw the eight-year-old Hou Qi playing with him.Hou Yan closed his eyes, carefully traced such strange and familiar memories, and then walked into the old house of the Hou family.

The old butler knew that the young master was coming back today, so he specially greeted him at the door.The old housekeeper was nearly 70 years old, but his body was still strong. The two brothers Hou Qi and Hou Qi were almost watched by him.Hou Yan obediently followed behind him, looking very obedient.

The old man chattered to him while walking, "Xiao Jiuer, are you busy now? Are you tired from school? A Qi always blames you for not calling home."

Hou Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, sometimes he forgot the time while reading, and when he raised his eyes again, it was about ten o'clock in the evening, and he always felt that if he called again, he was disturbing Hou Qi, so he simply stopped calling .The two brothers are not good at expressing people, Hou Qi didn't say anything, Hou Jia thought he didn't care.But he didn't expect that his elder brother didn't care about him, he was just arrogant.

A few different feelings suddenly emerged in his heart. All along, Hou Jia felt that he lacked a sense of substitution.Although he possessed the original owner's memory and seemed to have merged with the original owner's soul, he still felt that everything he had now was stolen.

Therefore, he did not dare to ask for the warmth of his family.It's like a child holding a jar of candy, because he doesn't know when the candy in his arms will be eaten or even taken back, so he only dares to secretly lick a little bit every time.

However, as his only family member, Hou Qi told him with his actual actions that they are blood relatives, flesh and blood.Therefore, it is very normal for each other to miss and care for each other.

Hou Yan's hand was held by the old housekeeper, just like when he was a child.Hou Yan pursed his lips, and there was a relieved smile on his lips.The anxiety that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time disappeared in a trance.

When Hou Qi saw Hou Jia, he saw his younger brother with a silly smile on his face.He stepped up to Hou Jia's side in two or three steps, bent his long fingers, and tapped Hou Jia's head lightly, "Stinky boy, why are you smirking?"

Unlike the suit and leather shoes when we first met, Hou Qi wore a pink shirt today, looking very homely.He pulled a chair casually, sat down beside Hou Jia, propped his chin with one hand, and put the other hand on Hou Jia's head and rubbed it vigorously.

"Hmm, bro... bro..., let me go~" Hou Jia shook his head, but Hou Qi's hand was still resting on his head. After a while, the young boy with neat hair and clean clothes just now The hair became messy, it was just a dull hair on the head.

Only then did Hou Qi smile in satisfaction, lowered his head to open the screen saver of his phone, started playing Defend Carrot, and chatted with Hou Jia by the way.There is still some time before dinner, not to mention that there is another guest coming to their house tonight.

The old butler happily watched the two brothers play, and brought out a small plate of buttered almonds from the kitchen and handed it to Hou Jia to nibble silently.As for Hou Qi who "bullied" his younger brother, the old housekeeper decided that he would not have a share in creamy almonds~

The despised Hou Qi withdrew his hand, touched his nose, and burst into tears in his heart.Are you sure you will fall out of favor when you get older?Grandpa the housekeeper, do you want to be so obviously biased...

The sweet and salty taste of buttered almonds immediately captivated Hou Xiaojia, so he happily started nibbling almonds, and forgot about the stupid hair on his head.

Hou Qi summoned Hou Xiaojun back this time because first, he hadn't seen his younger brother for a long time, and second, after all, Li Siheng saved his younger brother last time, and the two brothers should thank him well.Therefore, this dinner was not only a family banquet for the two brothers of the Hou family, but Li Siheng was also invited.

It was exactly six o'clock when Li Siheng arrived at Hou's old house, neither early nor late, very punctual.The Hou family also continued the rules when Hou Qi and Hou Jia's mother were around, no non-relatives and friends were allowed to enter the private house.The braised pork that the old housekeeper in the back kitchen is good at is at a critical moment, and he needs to keep an eye on it all the time, so instead of going out to greet Li Siheng, he opened the door of the Hou Mansion.

Li Siheng is familiar with every plant and tree in the Hou family.There was no need for the old housekeeper to go out to greet him, he opened the door and walked in, walking to the small flower hall where Hou's family received guests.

The land in Yucheng is not expensive, but it is by no means cheap.If it weren't for the accumulation of the Hou family for several generations, such a house would not have been built in this not-so-remote area near the city.The surrounding buildings have been refurbished repeatedly, only an ancient house like Hou's remains unchanged, even in a group of villas, it does not look decadent, but has a lingering fragrance of poetry, books and wine.

The moment he stepped into the Hou's mansion, Li Siheng suddenly felt timid from his hometown.

He always felt that everything he experienced was too absurd, maybe it was just a dream of his own.Sometimes, he couldn't tell whether he was Li Siheng or Hou Jia.But most of the time, he clearly knows that he is Li Siheng, his past is different, and he should only look at this life.

Therefore, in these years, he did not take the initiative to contact the Hou family or Hou Qi.Even when he meets Hou Qi by chance in a business occasion, he can treat him normally.Because he always reminded himself not to let his unusual memory become a burden on Hou Qi.

During the years when he became a wandering soul, he witnessed Hou Qi's initial heart-piercing and later depression, and Li Siheng felt that perhaps, not disturbing, was the best kindness for Hou Qi.

He thought that he had hidden the memories of his previous life well.But when he really stepped into the Hou's Mansion, the place where he grew up, Li Siheng still felt a little at a loss.

There are still notches on the loquat tree in front of the court, which Mrs. Hou used to record the growth of the child.There are also lotus flowers in the small pond in the yard, not the kind of water lilies that are commonly seen, but the kind used to produce lotus roots.The lotus flower that is higher than the human head looks a bit overwhelming in the small pond, but it is unexpectedly warm and lovely.

Li Siheng walked through every plant and tree in the Hou Mansion, as if he had walked through his past and present lives.At the entrance of the flower hall, he stopped, took a deep breath, covered the ups and downs in his heart with a flat face, and then stepped into the flower hall.

After all, this was the first time he had come to the Hou Mansion since he became Li Siheng.

Hou Qi wasn't in the flower hall. He was chatting with his younger brother just now when he suddenly received a call from his secretary. Although it wasn't a big deal, just to be on the safe side, he decided to hold a short video conference.

After Hou Qi left, Hou Xiaojun felt a little bored, so he also took out a sketch book from his bag and read it quietly.Occasionally, he grabs a few butter almonds to eat, and more often, he uses his fingers to copy the strokes in the book.

The young boy was very focused on copying, and Li Siheng's footsteps were very light, so when Li Siheng stepped into the flower hall, Hou Yan didn't notice it.

Li Siheng could only see clearly that the young boy was looking at a picture album, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts he was thinking, but he walked behind Hou Jia in a strange way.

Li Siheng bent down, his chin was only a few inches away from the top of the boy's head.Hou Yan just felt insensitively that there was a hot wind blowing over his head, but Li Siheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with making such a movement with his former body, so the two of them actually maintained such a bizarre posture and watched it together for two or three times. page book.

This is what Hou Qi saw when he walked in after the meeting.Thinking of the reason why his younger brother committed suicide a few days ago, although he didn't feel any resentment towards Li Siheng, Hou Qi always felt a little awkward in his heart.Frowning secretly, Hou Qi coughed heavily.

Hou Yan, who was burying his head in the picture album, was startled suddenly, and subconsciously straightened his back. Li Siheng was caught off guard by his head and hit his chin.The boy's hair is very soft, but his head is very hard.Such a sudden blow caused pain to both of them.Li Siheng covered his chin with one hand, but naturally stroked Hou Jia's head with the other hand.

"Are you okay, does it hurt?" Li Siheng stretched out his hand and rubbed Hou Jia's head. Compared with Hou Jia, he obviously looked more serious.Li Siheng's complexion was dark, but even so, the red mark on his chin was still very obvious.

Hou Yan froze for a moment, covered his head himself, and shook his head at Li Siheng.Although I don't know why Li Siheng would stand quietly behind him, but after all, he bumped into someone. After taking a look at the hand that was still on his head just now, Hou Jia decided to reciprocate, and also reached out to rub Li Siheng. jaw.

Li Siheng only felt his chin, which had been numb from the impact, feel soft, and when he lowered his head, he saw a snow-white hand carelessly rubbing against his chin.

Deeply aware that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and decided not to let it develop, Hou Qi pulled his younger brother over.Hou Qi was slightly taller than Hou Yan, and with such deliberate efforts, he was able to completely cover Hou Yan.He put on a stiff smile, and said to Li Siheng, "My younger brother is rude, Mr. Li sit down for a while, Uncle Zhong will serve the food immediately."

Li Siheng withdrew his hand in a daze, and sat down following Hou Qi's footsteps.It may be because of the facial paralysis skills he has practiced over the years, his dazed expression seems to be cold.Hou Qi glanced at him and felt at ease.At least, Hou Qi was sure that this was the unrequited love of his younger brother alone, so it was easier to deal with such a situation.

After all, it is much easier to straighten a person than to tear a couple apart.

Unable to sync up with Hou Qi's open brains, and not understanding Li Siheng's emotional turmoil, Hou Yan happily sat down with his brother.He is always happy when there is something to eat.

The old butler walked into the flower hall with his favorite dish - braised pork, and then several aunts in uniforms came in with various dishes. Hou Qi sat down in the main seat, and then brought his younger brother Press it by your side.Li Siheng sat on Hou Qi's right hand.

The three of them were not used to talking while eating. For a while, in the quiet flower hall, only the sound of chewing was left.

The braised pork is bright red in color and melts in the mouth, while the lean meat absorbs the juice and releases it in the mouth with the chewing of the lips and teeth.The pork skin is stewed, the collagen is separated, and the rock sugar is fused, which is almost sticky to the teeth. It is so delicious that people almost want to swallow their tongues.

All three are carnivores.Although Li Siheng and Hou Qi abided by the family's eating rules, they did not eat slowly at all.Not long after the meal was over, the three of them walked to the living room of Hou's house and started chatting after the meal.

Li Siheng and Hou Qi were talking about cooperation, but Hou Jia couldn't understand this, so he took out the album again to read.

The three of them are not very friendly, but they always get along well.
