After sending Ruan Xingtong to the car, Li Xiao called the valet driver. While waiting, he turned on his phone and clicked on missed calls and messages.

His father made the call, and Shi Yu sent the message.

Li Xiao frowned, and clicked on the message from Shi Yu first.

Two hours ago, I asked if I could come over today.

The other party is also very obedient, Li Xiao said to ask him before letting him come, so he really sends a message to ask him every time.

Li Xiao made a voice call to Shi Yu, and the other party answered it quickly.

Li Xiao asked, "Where are you?"

Shi Yu said, "I'm at home."

The other party's voice seemed to be a little rustling, and the voice was a little low, but Li Xiao couldn't hear it very clearly, so he just asked him: "Then you still come to my house?"

The other party paused, a little uncertainly: "Yes, can I come?"

Li Xiao didn't see Shi Yu much this week, and when he heard the other person's voice, he felt a little itchy for a moment, but he didn't want to appear anxious, so he murmured: "That's up to you."

He had already got into the car, and after saying this, he said to the driver: "Go to Tianlunjingcheng."

Tianlunjingcheng is the apartment complex where he lives now.

Shi Yu said he would come over later, Li Xiao was not surprised by the answer, but he still felt happy.

After receiving another call from his father, his mood dropped to the bottom.

Li Xiao frowned, and said to the driver: "Master, I'm sorry, please change the route."

The driver was tricked like this, and there was a hint of anger on his face, but when he saw Li Xiao's unhesitating expression in the rearview mirror, he forced himself back and turned his head silently on the road ahead.

The car drove for a while, Li Xiao remembered to ask Shi Yu: "Have you arrived yet?"

"Yeah, I'll be there soon." The other side was a little nervous, "Have you arrived yet?"

Li Xiao paused, then said: "No, I have something to do temporarily, so I won't be back for a while."

"Ah..." The other side paused for a while, and said, "Oh, it's all right...then when will you come back?"

"I'm not sure either," Li Xiao said after a pause, "You go back first."

When Li Xiao arrived home, the maid was clearing up the fragments of vases on the floor. Amidst the mess, Li Yuan sat on the sofa unmoved. The corner of his mouth was probably broken by an ashtray or something. The shirt was also deformed, crumpled and showing signs of being pulled.

He looked a little embarrassed, but there was also a kind of awkward beauty in the embarrassed.Li Yuan passed middle age, not only did he not become a mediocre middle-aged man with a fat head and a belly, but because of the special treatment of the years, his body was clean and handsome, and his demeanor was still better than before.It's not without reason that Li Xiao's mother is so obsessed with him, even Li Xiao is more like Li Yuan.

Li Xiao asked him: "Where is she?"

"Your mother is emotionally unstable. She just went back to her room to rest." Li Yuan's voice was calm, revealing a kind of indifference from the inside out.

Li Xiao has long been accustomed to the bad relationship between the two of them, so he just shrugged and said, "I'll go up and see her."

But Li Yuan stopped him and said, "I asked you to come back because of another matter."

Li Xiao stood on the stairs and had already gone up two steps. He turned around and looked down at Li Yuan. He probably knew what the other party wanted to say. company, isn't it?"

"Yes," Li Xiao was impatient, "what's the matter?"

Li Yuan's face darkened, and he said, "Your grandfather told you to go to his company, why didn't you go?"

Li Xiao said, "What's none of your business?"

The father and son looked at each other, like a silent confrontation.

Li Yuan opened his mouth first, he took a step back and said, "I won't interfere with you small troubles."

"But your grandfather is not in good health recently. Since you are back, spend more time with him when you have time, and pick up what you should learn in the company. What can you do if you hang around outside all day?"

Li Xiao didn't speak, turned around and went upstairs.

Li Xiao knocked on the door twice, and the reply from inside was the sound of smashing porcelain.

Li Xiao was already familiar with this, so he said, "I'm coming in."

No longer waiting for the other party to respond, he pushed the door open and entered.

Guan Ying sat on the bed with her back to him, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she grabbed a teapot from the bedside table and threw it out: "Get out!"

Li Xiao dodged the teapot that was thrown at him, and after the bang, he said, "Are you fighting with him again?"

The voice was calm and flat, with a touch of his father's tone, although he didn't realize it.

Guan Ying turned around, she was wearing silk pajamas, her hair was unkempt and disheveled over her shoulders, her complexion was not good, there were heavy dark circles under her eyes, like anemia, and her complexion was pale, because of her appearance Disordered, it seems that she has a nervous breakdown.

Her voice was also harsh, as if she wanted to pierce someone's eardrum, she said sharply: "He's going to find another woman again!"

When Li Xiao heard the same accusation, his heart didn't fluctuate.When he was young, he was troubled by the discord between his parents, anxious and irritable, trying to change something.After growing up slowly, he clearly understood that one of these two people is a psychopath who easily loses control of his emotions, and the other is a numb and heartless heartless guy. They are keen to torture each other, and they refuse to let him go. They even want to drag him into the water together. .

Li Xiao was no longer interested in the grievances between these two people, and he didn't want to be a victim between them, so he decided to stay away from them. After leaving home for many years, he came back and faced the same scene. disgusted.

He looked indifferent and said indifferently: "So he doesn't love you, he covets your property and marries you. He has been doing this for so many years. Why don't you divorce him?"

Guan Ying stared at him with those dark and sickly eyes, as if seeing someone's shadow from him, she made a strange voice from her throat, and said, "You are really his own son, The same cold blood, you all wish to get rid of me soon, don't you?"

"I won't get a divorce," she said through gritted teeth, "Even if I die, I will drag him to the grave with me."

Li Xiao stared at her, the madness and paranoia in her eyes made his scalp tingle.

Everything in this world, once flooded, will become a disaster.

What a terrible thing it would be to be entangled by such a person.

And it is absolutely impossible for him to let himself love someone like this, hopeless and lifeless, his heart being pinched and rubbed wantonly by the other person, and he can't help but become a lunatic.

He couldn't imagine, let alone tolerate himself who would become so ugly in the end.

Li Xiao drove back to the apartment, he never spent the night at home, no matter how late he would stay at that home.

It was early morning when we got downstairs, Li Xiao got out of the elevator and saw a figure curled up in front of his house, he stopped in his tracks.

7.1

Li Xiao walked over, he didn't deliberately lower the sound of footsteps, the voice-activated light turned on because of the sound of footsteps, the people who were huddled at the door were shocked by the light, their shoulders moved, woke up, opened their eyes, just in line with Li Xiao's head above them Xiao looked at each other.

Li Xiao asked him, "Why are you still here?"

Shi Yu raised his head to look at him, and said in a slightly rough voice, "...I want to wait for you."

Li Xiao looked at him, the other's newly opened eyes were not quite used to the strong light, they were slightly squinted, there were some physiological tears in the corners of the eyes, and there were spots of sleepy red on both sides of the cheeks.

Li Xiao calculated silently in his heart, since he called Shi Yu to go back, it has been almost three hours.

He hadn't gotten any emotion from these calculations, when he heard Shi Yu whispered again: "...We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Xiao couldn't say anything, he opened the door and said to someone, "Come in."

Shi Yu's face showed a very happy look again, he was going to get up from the ground, but probably because he was curled up in one position for too long, his whole body froze, and he almost couldn't stand up, Li Xiao stretched out his hand to help him, Only then did he stand still.

"Thank you, thank you." The two were close, and when Shi Yu spoke, a hot breath came out and sprayed on Li Xiao's face.

And the temperature of the wrist that Li Xiao was holding was too high, Li Xiao looked carefully at Shi Yu's face at this moment, and only then could he see that his face was blushing a little abnormally.

Li Xiao reached out and touched Shi Yu's forehead, and immediately frowned: "Do you have a fever?"

Shi Yu opened his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red and wet, obviously because of the symptoms of a fever, but he himself didn't notice it, and he was a little confused: "I don't know, do you have any?"

Under Li Xiao's gaze, his voice weakened again, and he said, "...It's just that I have stayed up late these two days, and I have a little cold. I have already taken medicine."

No wonder his voice didn't sound right when he called before.

Li Xiao's face was not good-looking, and he glared at him almost angrily: "How is your body, don't you have any idea?"

He even decided to wait for so long in the corridor with ventilation on all sides.

Like a child being taught a lesson, Shi Yu lowered his head in bewilderment.

Li Xiao pulled him into the room with a sullen face, and made them take off their coats. After taking his temperature, Li Xiao's face became even uglier. He found antipyretics and ice packs, and he didn't say a word the whole time, as if he was angry, and he didn't know what it was. Who are you angry with.

Shi Yu also felt uneasy under his air pressure, obediently took the medicine, put an ice pack on his forehead, and even breathed carefully.

After all the tossing, Shi Yu finally felt the attack of the illness, his brain was dizzy, his body was hot and cold, he was wrapped in the quilt, and his eyelids felt heavy.

Li Xiao stood at the head of the bed, still with an unhappy expression on his face, and said, "Let's see if the fever goes down tonight. If the fever is still there tomorrow, you have to go to the hospital."
