Bamboo Horse Alpha - Chapter 53

Yu Jiu suddenly realized that he hadn’t greeted this boy since we met downstairs.

Because no one remembers to introduce them to each other.

Why did this person follow Zhai Xiao back to China?

The moment they met their eyes, the boy quickly looked away.

The embarrassment of being forced to die was relieved a little after the two brothers left. Seeing the boy becoming nervous again, Yu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and asked, “You…what’s your name?”

“…Zhai Wei.”

Zhai Wei buried his head even lower while talking.

Yu Jiu thought: Sure enough, his surname is Zhai.

But since he is an illegitimate child, how dare Uncle Zhai use the Zhai family’s surname for him?

Or is it that his identity has been recognized by Mr. Zhai?

The relationship between him and the two brothers upstairs seems to be very good, but also seems to be very alienated.

Yu Jiu is also not good at communicating with others. After asking this question, he didn’t know what to say.

Introduce yourself?

His name has already been said downstairs.

Other than that, the two of them were strangers and seemed to have nothing to say.

Yu Jiu chose to remain silent.

He took another sip of Coke, and the person on the opposite sofa suddenly said, “I know you.”

“?”

Yu Jiu looked up puzzled.

Zhai Wei looked up hesitantly, “I… saw your picture in my brother’s study.”

“…”

Yu Jiu subconsciously looked upstairs.

“No, it’s not this study, it’s from abroad.” Zhai Wei stumbled and said, “It’s on his desk, framed with a photo frame.”

Yu Jiu: “…”

Zhai Chi put his photo in his study?

When was the photo?

Zhai Chi hasn’t left since returning to China, and they haven’t been in touch for five years. If there are photos, they should only be photos from more than five years ago, or even earlier.

With such an early photo, I should have changed a lot now.

Yu Jiu laughed and said, “How do you know it’s my photo?”

Zhai Wei said: “I… went to my brother’s study several times, and I saw him looking at that photo. You are very similar to the person in the photo.”

He has been by Zhai Chi’s side for several years, and he has never seen anyone who looks like the one in the photo.

Yu Jiu paused suddenly, then pondered: “Do you often go to his study?”

The study is a relatively private place, especially after the separation, Alpha’s sense of territory will be very strong, and generally people will not let people go in.

Even if Zhai Chi doesn’t use his study much, not everyone can enter it.

Yu Jiu was a little concerned.

Zhai Wei said: “Not often, my brother would occasionally take me to his study, he said that my sister used to give him extra lessons there.”

Yu Jiu: “Who is your sister?”

“My sister’s name is Zhai Ying.”

Zhai Wei looked at Yu Jiu with implicit expectation.

My brother told him that there was another person with my sister when he was making up lessons for him. Although he didn’t say who it was, Zhai Wei always felt that the “other person” was the one in the photo.

Yu Jiu was slightly startled and said, “Is your sister Di Ying?”

Zhai Wei’s eyes brightened slightly: “Do you remember her?”

Yu Jiu said, “Of course.”

The cousin who was arranged by Uncle Zhai to give Zhai Chi a supplementary lesson at that time.

Wasn’t Di Ying driven away by Mr. Di?

Has she been recognized by the Zhai family again?

Zhai Wei said that he was Zhai Ying’s younger brother. Did Uncle Zhai not give up his idea of ​​bringing Zhai Ying back to Zhai’s family after the incident was exposed?

He succeeded?

Is the current Aunt Zhai still the original Aunt Zhai?

Yu Jiu couldn’t help imagining a scene about a wealthy family in which the mistress was in charge.

But even if Uncle Zhai succeeds, with Zhai Ying’s temperament, after being denied once, she would rather sever ties with her parents than return to Zhai’s house, right?

Yu Jiu remained calm and asked in a low voice, “Sister Di Ying, where is she now? Why didn’t she come back with you?”

Zhai Wei’s complexion changed slightly, he tightened the can in his hand, lowered his head and said, “My sister passed away.”

Yu Jiu: “…”

Upstairs in the study room, after Zhai Xiao entered the room, he directly occupied the only swivel chair behind the desk where he could sit.

Zhai Chi didn’t want to stand, so he sat down on the desk, taller than his elder brother.

Zhai Xiao didn’t reprimand him for being unruly, and cut straight to the point: “You and Bi Xiaojiu…what’s the matter with you?”

Zhai Chi: “His name is Yu Jiu now.”

“…”

Seeing the elder brother’s face darken, Zhai Chi continued: “That’s what you saw.”

Zhai Xiao said: “What I see is that no one wants to go upstairs with you.”

Zhai Chi: “…”

This man is really his own brother!

He curled his lips, and put the Coke bottle that he had brought up and emptied halfway on the corner of the table, “You’re right, I’m still chasing him, and I haven’t done it yet.”

Brother Zhai stared at him for a while, and said with contempt: “It’s useless.”

“Yes, your brother is useless.” Zhai Chi said, “That’s better than you being single in your twenties.”

Zhai Xiao: “…”

“Why do you live together?”

Since it hasn’t been settled yet, isn’t it justified?

Zhai Chi was silent, concealed the matter of Yu Jiu’s family, and briefly talked about Yu Jiu’s pheromone problem.

Zhai Xiao frowned slightly, “The last time you asked Dr. John about the medicine to block pheromones, was it for him?”

Zhai Chi nodded.

There was silence in the study.

After a while, Zhai Xiao continued: “When do you plan to go back?”

Zhai Chi: “I didn’t say I would go back…”

“My parents’ cemetery is still abroad.”

“…”

Zhai Xiao leaned on the seat, crossed his legs, obviously looking up, but he did not lose his kingly demeanor, “Do you want him to be with you forever without a name?”

Zhai Chi’s body stiffened slightly.

“Escape is never the way to solve problems.” Zhai Xiao said: “You are angry with the old man, but your parents are always from the Zhai family, and so am I. You still have to return to the Zhai family in the end. If you don’t solve the problem now, do you want to wait? In the future, let Xiao Jiu handle these for you? Is this what you like?”

Zhai Chi: “…”

He clenched his hands slightly, but could not refute.

Zhai Xiao sighed softly, “I didn’t tell you about bringing Xiaowei back to China in advance, your concern for him has already made his mother’s progress, because his sister and the old man turned a blind eye to his surname change It doesn’t mean that he agrees to take Xiaowei back to Zhai’s house. Xiaowei doesn’t want to stay abroad because he doesn’t want to be manipulated by his parents. I will bring him back to China and find him a school. If you don’t want to face him, you can Let him leave Jinyi City…”

“No need.” Zhai Chi interrupted him, “I promised my cousin that I will take care of him for the rest of my life.”

“…”

Zhai Xiao frowned, “It’s been more than five years.”

“I know, but you must do what you promise to others. This is what you taught me.” Zhai Chi turned his head to look at the person on the seat, “Don’t worry, I will go back, but school will start soon, after the end of next semester talk later.”

Zhai Xiao was startled, and immediately gave him an annoyed look.

By the end of the next semester, New Year’s Day is over, and it is almost the New Year’s Eve.

However, this was the first time that Zhai Chi let go of the matter of going back to Zhai’s house in more than five years, so Zhai Xiao didn’t force him to make a decision right away.

Once a person’s attitude towards a matter is loosened, it is only a matter of time before the goal is achieved.

After a pause, Zhai Chi said again: “For Xiaowei’s matter, I’m sorry for the time I’m back in China.”

Zhai Xiao raised his eyebrows: “Really?”

Zhai Chi said, “Be polite to you.”

Brother Zhai snorted, but didn’t reply.

When the two brothers finished talking and came down from upstairs, Yu Jiu was the only one in the living room.

Zhai Chi looked around and sat down on the sofa, “He…”

“Going to the bathroom, he said he drank too much.”

Zhai Chi: …

Yu Jiu finally let go of his nerves, because Brother Zhai went downstairs, he tensed up again.

Fortunately, Brother Zhai didn’t ask any more questions, and he didn’t stay in Zhai Chi’s apartment too long. When Zhai Wei came out of the bathroom, they were ready to leave.

Yu Jiu and Zhai Chi escorted him to the door together.

After Zhai Xiao went out, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Yu Jiu.

Yu Jiu suddenly became nervous.

Unexpectedly, Brother Zhai just said in a very ordinary way: “Let’s have a meal together when we have time.”

Yu Jiu was startled, then nodded mechanically: “Okay.”

Brother Zhai turned around and left.

Zhai Wei also turned around and waved to Yu Jiu: “Brother Yu Jiu, goodbye.”

Yu Jiu: “…bye.”

Zhai Chi looked at Yu Jiu in surprise, and then at Zhai Wei.

As a result, Zhai Wei looked at Zhai Chi, turned his head as if frightened, and followed Zhai Xiao.

Zhai Chi: “…”

The door of the apartment closed automatically after the person left, and the two people standing at the door turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other tacitly.

“You two…”

“You and your brother…”

The two spoke in unison and stopped at the same time.

Zhai Chi smiled, “What did you just say? You even called me?”

What Yu Jiu wanted to ask was the same question.

Big brother Zhai called him to the study so seriously, but the thunder and rain were not as loud as the rain, and his attitude towards him was the same as before… a bit strangely calm.

But Zhai Chi asked before him.

Yu Jiu let out a breath, “Talking about sister Zhai Ying’s tutoring for the two of us.”

“…”

Zhai Chi was taken aback.

Yu Jiu didn’t miss the slightest micro-expression change on his face.

Except for the death of Zhai Ying, Zhai Wei didn’t tell him anything.

How did my sister die? Who is it related to? Why did he return home?

Zhai Wei didn’t say a word.

Yu Jiu felt that Zhai Chi probably didn’t want to talk about it either.

After returning to China for so long, Zhai Chi never took the initiative to bring up family matters.

Yu Jiu paused, then continued: “He also said that there is a framed photo of me in your study.”

Zhai Chi: “…”

His face froze suddenly, like the scene of a large-scale social death.

He blinked his eyes and said with a broken smile, “Why do you talk about this?”

Yu Jiu: “He said that as soon as he saw me, he felt that the person in the photo looked very similar to me.”

“…”

“There is a photo.” Zhai Chi suddenly turned around and walked towards the sofa: “On your birthday, we took a group photo at your home, you are wearing a birthday crown…”

“Why do you keep my picture in the study?”

Yu Jiu quickly followed, and they went back to the living room together.

He suddenly wanted to know what happened to Zhai Chi five years ago?

Yu Jiu didn’t pay much attention to what happened five years ago, the past has passed, and he didn’t want to worry about the past, so he never asked Zhai Chi why he didn’t answer his phone five years ago?

But Zhai Wei’s words, he had to care.

He didn’t want to ask about Zhai Chi’s cousin, because when he didn’t want to talk about it, Zhai Chi didn’t get to the bottom of it.

All he can ask is about himself.

Zhai Chi stopped beside the sofa, put one hand on the back of the sofa, and a voice in his heart said: This is delivered to the door by someone himself.

Ming Ming spent nearly ten days together in the village, and he could see that Yu Jiu did not reject his closeness. Although he didn’t say anything, he never gave little hints.

He couldn’t believe that Yu Jiu couldn’t see his thoughts.

Fortunately, Yu Jiu did not reject him.

So if they continue to keep secrets like this, is there any interest in it?

His silence for a while made Yu Jiu feel a little uneasy.

What is he misunderstanding?

Or did his hesitation and evasion all the time make Zhai Chi hesitant too?

It’s not that he doesn’t have a heart, and he doesn’t have a heart of stone.

In this case, he has been shrinking back, what is the use of wasting each other’s time?

Yu Jiu clasped both hands, and took a step closer to Zhai Chi, “Before you, why did you say such misleading words in front of your brother…”

Before he finished speaking, his wrist tightened suddenly.

Zhai Chi’s strength was so great that Yu Jiu couldn’t control his body being pulled forward at all. He only felt that he was being pulled around in a circle, and then his body lost weight for a while, and he fell backwards and fell into the sofa.

He was still in dizziness and hadn’t regained his composure, but a figure was already pressing on him.

His hands were restrained, his lips felt warm, something soft roughly blocked his breathing, Yu Jiu’s consciousness quickly became clear, and he tasted the familiar pheromone.
