Chi Ning slept until four o'clock in the afternoon, woke up a little dazed, rolled up the quilt, and stared blankly at the window.

The lounge is a small room of about ten square meters. The blackout curtains are half drawn. It is getting late outside, the sun is fading, and it is raining.

Unable to go out on rainy days, Chi Ning took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Xiangdong, saying that he would not go to the small square at night.

He got up to look for Liang Xingye, Gu Xu happened to be there, and told him that Liang Xingye had gone to the winery to discuss business, and the return time was unknown.Chi Ning was worried that the rain would get heavier, so he went straight back to the villa.

After dinner, Chi Ning squeezed a rice ball, went to the study to practice the scales of each key, and learned various skills of the left and right hands.

After pressing the strings for a long time, his fingers hurt. Chi Ning had calluses on his hands. He thought they were ugly and rubbed them off one by one. It still hurts when he played again, but the sensitivity was not as good as before, within the tolerable range.

At about 10:30, Chi Ning finished his practice and started the live broadcast.Including the song in the mermaid group, he played and sang three songs every day, occasionally interspersed with each other.

A user nicknamed 'Shrimp Doesn't Blink' on the barrage has been sending messages: I just came here, and I stayed up late last night to turn the replay of My Treasure's live broadcast to the end.

Shrimp doesn't blink: But why does my treasure sing the same song every day, what's it called?Searched all over the net and found nothing.

Shrimp doesn't blink: Write it yourself?Does it have any special significance?

……

Chi Ning answered similar questions, but because the number of viewers was too small, he hadn't interacted with people for a long time, so he stopped his hands pressing the strings, and replied in a straightforward way: "There is no name, I didn't write it myself, there are special Meaning, I want to sing it to my brother.”

Shrimp didn't blink: brother?elder brother? !Is that the kind of brother I thought? ! !

The screen became lively, led by Xia Ren without blinking an eye, and many divers erupted into heated discussions.

What are they talking about?Chi Ning was full of doubts, and when he asked, he suddenly saw a barrage in the "Shrimps Don't Blink" that was full of screens——Boss Zhou, an enthusiastic fisherman: Why doesn't your mother's good cub wear earrings today?

Chi Ning clicked, and quickly touched his ear, the right ear was empty, and the pearl earring was gone.

His expression changed in an instant, and a huge panic surged in his heart, and then swept his whole body with a devastating force.

The guitar fell to the ground, Chi Ning hurriedly turned off the live broadcast, stood there stupidly, and repeatedly touched his ears, no, no, still no... He wore pearls since he was a child, like a part of his body, even more important than any other part.In addition to the function, the emotion alone is also an existence that cannot be given up.

The place where the pearl earrings might appear has been turned upside down, but nothing was found, maybe it fell into Liang Xingye's company.Chi Ning looked at the time and saw that the company had closed.

He stood at the door waiting for Liang Xingye to come back, feeling panicked and disturbed, like a thorn in his back, couldn't help but wander around, and continued to search without giving up.

Just after midnight, Liang Xingye stepped into the hall exhausted, and saw Chi Ning lying on the ground, shining a flashlight on the bottom of the sofa, as if looking for something.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Hearing Liang Xingye's voice, Chi Ning immediately got up, anxious, "My pearl is gone."

Liang Xingye glanced at his right ear, frowned slightly, and asked, "Didn't I fasten it for you?"

"It's buckled up, I lost it myself," Chi Ning couldn't care less about blaming himself, and speeded up his speech, "I can't find it here, it may be in your company, I want to go to the company to find it."

Earrings that are as small as one-third of a marble are easier said than done. Liang Xingye said: "It's too late now, go to bed first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"But I think..."

"I will call everyone to help find it tomorrow, it will be more efficient." Liang Xingye took off his coat and was about to go upstairs to take a bath. "Okay, go to sleep."

Chi Ning was anxious, his hands trembling subconsciously, but after being rejected, he didn't dare to force the request, and under Liang Xingye's urging, he moved into the bedroom like a turtle.

Chi Ning leaned his back against the door and touched his empty right ear. His heart was filled with discomfort and self-blame, and he felt inexplicably wronged.

He never set foot in the bedroom at night, but he still rummaged through boxes and chests, hoping to do futile work.After flipping through for a while, Chi Ning remembered that the second inspection missed a small area of ​​the corridor, so he opened the door and went out.

Liang Xingye put away the bath water and wanted to have a drink while soaking in the bath. When he walked to the compartment, he found that the small shelf for storing wine was empty.The wine cellar was in the basement, he hesitated for a few seconds, then strode out.

In the corridor, Liang Xingye stopped, and Chi Ning half-kneeled in the corner of the corner, bent over, and was pulling the carpet.

Liang Xingye called him: "Chi Ning."

Chi Ning turned around, saw Liang Xingye, and immediately got up and went back to the bedroom. Liang Xingye walked towards him, and stuck his hand when he was about to close the door.

Chi Ning did not expect that Liang Xingye would suddenly reach out, and it was too late to retract his strength.The heavy door pressed Liang Xingye's finger joints, and his fingers instantly became red and swollen. Liang Xingye frowned suddenly, and pushed the door open.

Chi Ning grabbed his wrist in a panic, apologized quickly, and then lowered his head to lick it.Liang Xingye withdrew his hand, hid behind his back stiffly, but his expression returned to normal, "It's okay, don't lick me."

Chi Ning tried again, but was still rejected, and the sadness in his heart overflowed, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you."

"When did you lose your temper?"

"When you called me, I ignored you, and even closed the door and caught your hand." Chi Ning's face was dirty and dusty, his eyes were wide open, and under the impact of various emotions, he had a nasal voice when he spoke , looks very pitiful.

"It's okay," Chi Ning held his fingers, Liang Xingye stared at his face, and lowered his voice, "It hurts just when I pressed it, and now it's gone."

He asked Chi Ning, "Are pearl earrings important?"

"Yes," Chi Ning said with a trembling tone, "very, very important."

No wonder Chi Ning would hide subconsciously when he touched it, Liang Xingye said, "I'll change my clothes and take you there right away."

Chi Ning used Liang Xingye's special elevator to enter and exit the company. There was no possibility of others picking up the pearls. The elevator space was small, so it was clear at a glance. They locked the area in the office and lounge.

The two searched from beginning to end in different areas. After the search failed, Liang Xingye caught a glimpse of the monitor in the corner. Mo Sai suddenly realized that he called up the surveillance video and analyzed that there was a high probability that it was Xie Xinna. He called him and rushed to Xie's house.

When Liang Xingye arrived in a hurry, Xie Xin took him to the study. Chi Ning wanted to follow, but out of politeness, he had to wait there.

The study room has a wide view, and the file bag is placed on the dark red rosewood desk, and a cornflower blue pearl earring is faintly visible at the bottom.

"You were so anxious that you didn't sleep, just for an earring?" Earrings are Chi Ning's signature decoration. Xie Xin was very surprised when he recognized it. He didn't want to handle other people's personal belongings, so he put the file bag back to its original place. Wait for Liang Xingye to come over and deal with it.

"Chi Ning has been looking for it all night. This is very important to him." Liang Xingye took out the earrings from the file bag and explained casually.

His clothes were a little messy, and he seemed to be involved in it. Xie Xin laughed, mixed with doubts: "Ji Xuan's choice of studying medicine is more rational than what you are doing now."

Liang Xingye didn't mention Chi Ning's origin, but Xie Xin guessed that he probably met him from the liquor bureau.He has known Liang Xingye for several years, and he knows his temperament quite well.

In the few contacts with Chi Ning, he found that Chi Ning's appearance and a little bit of personality revealed hit Liang Xingye's aesthetic bullseye.

Although Liang Xingye denied it, in Xie Xin's view, Chi Ning was no different from the pampered canary.Perhaps the reason for making such a fuss was to test his own weight in Liang Xingye's heart.

Xie Xin is used to this kind of clumsy method of testing the bottom line, and Liang Xingye, who has always been calm and strong, will take the bait, which is completely beyond his expectation.

Xie Xin had a bad impression of Chi Ning, but after this incident, his good impression fell to the bottom.

Chi Ning and Xie Nuo stayed in the living room, maybe there was an animal smell left on Chi Ning's body, Xie Nuo always leaned towards him, holding his hand, asking questions curiously, Chi Ning stared at the door of the study, and answered absent-mindedly.

The study door opened, Chi Ning stood up abruptly, Liang Xingye spread his hands towards him, and the pearl earrings on his palm shone brightly under the chandelier.

Chi Ning felt the great joy of regaining what was lost, and rushed to Liang Xingye in three steps at a time, his hands shaking with excitement.

Liang Xingye helped him put it on, then turned and went to the bathroom.

Legs were a little weak, Chi Ning leaned against the wall, touched the earrings with his hands, the heart hanging in his throat finally returned to its original place, he took a few deep breaths, and thanked Xie Xin.

Xie Xin glanced at his face from the corner of his eye, nodded his chin slightly, walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up a book to read.

The living room is spacious, with a tendency to open and close. It is equipped with a full set of rosewood furniture. The museum shelf stands on the shaded side, and expensive antiques are placed randomly. You can get a glimpse of the profound heritage of the Xie family.

There is a colorful porcelain plate on the fifth floor of the museum shelf, and Xie Nuo is standing on tiptoe, desperately pawing at it.

Her hair was loose, braided for a long time, and when it was loosened, it looked like a big curl, with a rabbit hairpin on the side, precarious, she jumped up, the hairpin clicked, and fell to the ground.

Chi Ning bent down to pick it up, combed her disheveled hair with her fingers, and pinched it back.Xie Xin raised his eyes and saw Chi Ning touching Xie Nuo's hair, and stopped him coldly: "No one taught you social etiquette?"

There was a sudden sound in the silence of the room, and Chi Ning looked back at Xie Xin in confusion.

Liang Xingye came out from the end of the corridor, he wiped his hands, frowned and looked at Xie Xin: "What are you doing?"

"He is too unruly." Xie Xin said, "It is easy to be criticized if you take it out, you'd better find someone to teach it."

Xie Xin was very concerned about touching her hair too intimately.His exquisite habits can be traced back to his childhood, his clothes are always meticulous, his behavior is elegant and decent, and he has cultivated his almost perverted cunning vision.

The closest friends are all acquainted since childhood, and they have been together for many years, and occasionally they are disliked by him as disrespectful, not to mention that the first impression is Chi Ning who took off his shoes and socks and stepped on the office chair.

"Pay attention to your attitude, what rules do children want?" Liang Xingye walked towards Chi Ning, "Besides, if I take him out, who dares to laugh at him?"

Chi Ning only felt that Xie Xin was inexplicable. He raised the rabbit hairpin in his hand and explained to Liang Xingye: "Her hairpin fell off, and I will pin it back for her."

Liang Xingye took the card and threw it to Xie Xin, "You treat me like a donkey's liver and lungs."

The hairpin drew a parabola in the air and landed firmly on the sofa. At the same time, the colorful porcelain plate fell off the shelf and shattered to the ground.

Liang Xingye glanced at Xie Nuo who kicked the broken tiles, smiled and said to Xie Xin: "You live in a trap, and the younger sister you adopted is innocent and lively, and I haven't seen you restrain her with rules."

"She's an exception." Xie Xin carried Xie Nuo to a safe area, squatted down in front of the museum shelf, and handled the debris carefully.

When Xie Nuo was taught basic etiquette, he couldn't sit still and kept crying until he got conjunctivitis.She was brought up by Xie Xin, with an age difference of nearly [-] years. Being raised by a daughter inevitably made her feel distressed, so he allowed her to let go of her nature.

Liang Xingye: "Exception?"

"She is young, as long as she is happy, there is no need to restrain her with rules."

Liang Xingye laughed, "Chi Ning is outside your jurisdiction, let alone the need for rules, you should stop when enough is enough."

Xie Xin instantly understood what he meant - don't judge Chi Ning at will.

Really fascinated, Xie Xin wrapped the fragments with a handkerchief, threw them into the trash can, bent slightly, measured the distance with his fingers, and accurately placed the vase on the ancient shelf, "Understood."

He and Chi Ning are two parallel lines that will never intersect. Judging is meaningless. If Xie Nuo wasn't involved, he wouldn't bother to make a sound.

In the early winter season, the night is extremely cold, and the stars are few and far between, hanging high in the sky.There was fog in the air, and the vegetation on both sides of the corridor was stained with dew, which was in a semi-solidified state, blown by the wind brought by walking, and slowly flowing downward.

Two figures walked through the corridor and approached the door.Chi Ning was half a step behind Liang Xingye, his eyes were like moonlight, always falling on his face.

"Liang Xingye, thank you." Chi Ning was slightly white as he spoke.

"Thank you for what." Liang Xingye was careless and kept walking.

"Help me find earrings in the middle of the night," Chi Ning pursed his lower lip, his voice slowed down, like the ending tone of light music, getting softer and softer, "protect me in front of your friends."

Liang Xingye looked at him sideways, his slightly curly hair covered Chi Ning's small forehead, and the tails of his hair fell beside his beautiful eyes. His eyelashes were moistened by the moisture in the air, and the tip of his nose turned red from the cold, which was unreasonably endearing.

Liang Xingye touched the tip of his nose, feeling cool, "I didn't ask just now, I meant you don't need to thank me."

He added: "Xie Xin is used to being arrogant, so don't talk to him when you meet in the future. Besides, you rarely interact with each other, so he won't cause trouble to you."

Chi Ning listened quietly, staring into Liang Xingye's eyes, and nodded slowly.

The dark gray Maybach stopped at the carousel at the door, Liang Xingye opened the car door and let Chi Ning get in the car.The Xie family's old house is far away from the villa they live in, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. When they arrived at the villa, it was already very late.

The light strip in the corridor on the second floor senses the human body information and automatically turns on the sleep mode.The two were supposed to go their separate ways, but Chi Ning followed behind Liang Xingye. Liang Xingye held the doorknob and turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Your hand..." Chi Ning looked at his swollen fingers, feeling guilty and blaming himself, "I'm sorry."

At that time, he was afraid that Liang Xingye would drive him to rest, and because of his aggrieved and anxious emotions, he closed the door in a hurry, Liang Xingye reached out his hand too fast, and there was no time to stop him.

The injury was visible to the naked eye. In the villa, in the car, and in the office, he asked for healing many times. Liang Xingye never let him go, saying that licking behavior is unique to small animals. Since he lives as a human, he should get rid of this habit .

"It will be fine in two days," Liang Xingye rubbed Chi Ning's head, "Go to bed early."

The door opened and closed, Chi Ning was the only one left in the corridor, he looked at the closed bedroom door, after a while, he turned and went back to his room.

The bedrooms are adjacent, and the balcony is connected to the balcony. He stood still on the balcony, leaning against the guardrail, resting his face with his hands, looking at the bright light and shadow over Liang Xingye, wondering what he was thinking.

Below the balcony is a small garden, the green vegetation is well taken care of, lush and lush, weakening the bleakness of early winter.

The light and shadow from the bedroom fall into the garden, and the brilliantly blooming double-petal camellia looms.It is an ornamental variety carefully cultivated by horticulturalists. It can be seen from a long distance that it is breathtakingly beautiful, and the Chinese rose and staghorn crabapple are eclipsed by it.

The cold wind passed over Chi Ning's cheeks, and the tip of his nose was so cold that he lost consciousness. He sniffed and left the balcony.

Chi Ning went downstairs and walked along the garden path to the double camellia tree.The tea tree is several meters high, the crown of the tree is dotted with camellias, and the branches falling at the bottom are sporadically blooming.

He couldn't reach it due to his height, Chi Ning stepped on the thick fence, looked up carefully, and folded off the most full and gorgeous flower within his reach.

While repairing the messy branches and leaves, he walked back, and when he reached the door of Liang Xingye's bedroom, he didn't knock on the door immediately, and carefully fiddled with the petals.

Liang Xingye, who was within one door, had just taken a shower and was sitting on the bedside applying ointment to his hands.The nerves at the end of the fingers are rich, and the pain is sharp after being pressed. As time goes by, instead of reducing, it becomes more intense.

It was red and swollen, and there was some congestion. He bent his knuckles one by one, and couldn't help frowning.

There was a light knock on the door, he threw away the cotton swab, shook his hand, and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Chi Ning standing in the corridor, holding a double-petaled camellia in his hand, with layers of petals, red and white intertwined, red like rouge, white like jade.

Liang Xingye was startled.

Chi Ning handed the double-petal camellia to him.

Chi Ning was wearing a plain wool inner jacket, and his coat was also plain, with only a smear of graffiti embroidery on his chest. The color was very light, as if all the colors had been peeled off, so the focus was on his hands.

Liang Xingye was in a daze for a long time, Chi Ning carefully inserted the camellia into the pocket of his pajamas, smiled at him, then turned and went back to the bedroom.

The camellia has branches and leaves, and the bag has a strong sense of dangling. Liang Xingye brushed the petals with his fingers, and touched the rare vitality in the early winter garden at close range. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a small red bead hidden in the stamen, and called Chi Ning to stop.

"Chi Ning, come here."

Chi Ning turned back obediently, looked up at Liang Xingye, "What's wrong?"

"Open your mouth."

Chi Ning did so in a daze, and then, the warm condensate rolled into his mouth, his jaw was closed, and he swallowed habitually, only to realize what he ate.

Liang Xingye said: "You are not a drug, treat yourself as an ordinary person."

"But don't you feel pain?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Chi Ning whispered, "Liar."

Liang Xingye is very tolerant. Before his leg injury recurred, every time he asked Liang Xingye, he said it didn't hurt; when he returned to Liang's house, he was in a bad mood and said he was fine; when he went to the underground boxing ring and got injured, even if it was so severe that he broke a bone, he was just calm Let me tell you, it's just a minor injury.

It was as if it was really just a minor injury, no one needed to care about it, and it was gone in a flash.

But how could it not hurt?Chi Ning looked at Liang Xingye's knuckles, which were bruised and black, and terribly red and swollen.

He reached out to touch it, but Liang Xingye avoided it, "I've applied ointment, it's fine, go to sleep."

Chi Ning pursed his lips and stood refusing to leave. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "I won't lick you."

He wiped off the ointment with his sleeve, then bit his lips wet, and kissed Liang Xingye's finger.

"It won't hurt soon." Chi Ning said softly.
