In the morning, He Yang came to Jiang’an Community and picked Shen XiuZhu up.
The weather outside was still a little gloomy, and it was always windy.
Shen XiuZhu got in the car, couldn’t help but lowered his head and sneezed, his eyes were a little red.
He Yang looked over and asked, “Have you caught a cold?”
“I guess so……” Shen XiuZhu rubbed his eyes and said, “By the way, I seem to have left my cup in your car yesterday…….”
Shen XiuZhu said, then lowered his head and looked for it on the seat.
He Yang handed over the thermos cup and said, “I filled hot water in the morning.”
“Thank you.” Shen XiuZhu laughed, took the thermos cup and drank slowly.
And because the water temperature was hot, when Shen XiuZhu drank the water, fog appeared on his glasses again.
The car drove towards the pier, and after a while, it stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light.
He Yang freed a hand and stretched it out towards Shen XiuZhu.
Shen XiuZhu took off his glasses naturally, put them in the man’s hands, and said, “Let’s go and buy a cake from Mr. Zhou later.”
He Yang took out a tissue to wipe the glasses, and responded with a sound.
After cleaning the glasses, He Yang helped the person beside him put on the glasses.
Just when the red light turned green, He Yang drove to Mr. Zhou’s cake shop and bought a cake for Shen XiuZhu.
After buying the cake, the car drove towards the pier.
The houseboat was docked by the pier, and when the two came to the houseboat, there were already many people inside.
Chi Yi was on the sofa, he conveniently looked over, then looked behind He Yang, and asked, “Where’s Jiang Lin? He didn’t come?”
He Yang walked in, came and sat on the side, and said lightly, “I asked him, he’s not coming.”
“Hey, I even called out a few clean little models today. I’m thinking of giving my little cousin a taste of meat.” Chi Yi’s tone was a little regretful.
A rich second-generation next to him heard it, and immediately came over and said quickly, “You called the models? How is the technique? Can you give me a try?”
“The techniques are not bad and they are very good at serving people.” Chi Yi was a little disdainful and hinted: “Especially that mouth, it’s such an ecstasy——”
He Yang interrupted: “Shen XiuZhu is still here, pay attention to what you say.”
“It’s okay. I’m not a child anymore.” Shen XiuZhu smiled, “I can also discuss the topic of adults.”
“Yeah, XiuZhu is not a child anymore!” Chi Yi smiled and said to Shen XiuZhu, “If XiuZhu wants to eat meat, come to me. I promise to introduce you to those with good skills and good things serving people!”

“Young Master He used to be like this. He is too partial. He always protects XiuZhu. He always said that we would be a bad influence on him……..”
“I think, if Young Master He protects him his whole life, it wouldn’t be impossible.”
Everyone else started to shout and make jokes.
For a while, the topic became a little ambiguous.
Shen XiuZhu still had a gentle smile on his face. He didn’t join the conversation, he just narrowed his eyes, and he was used to this kind of chit-chat.
He Yang drank the wine and said lightly: “Stop talking.”
“Okay, okay, don’t talk about it.” Chi Yi laughed and didn’t continue the topic, he just asked: “What does XiuZhu drink? Coke or Orange juice?”
Shen XiuZhu thought about it and replied, “I want to try red wine.”
He Yang next to him heard it and said to Chi Yi, “He will drink hot milk.”
“Hot milk, right? Okay!” Chi Yi got up and went outside to ask for a cup of hot milk.
Chi Yi put the hot milk on the table, he then suddenly thought of something, and asked, “By the way, has Yanyan come back?”
“I guess not yet.” Someone next to him interjected, “Otherwise, Young Master He would have brought him here today.”
“Today’s the fifth day. Young Master He won’t lose the bet, right?”
“What’s the hurry? Today is not over yet, maybe Yanyan will call at the end.”
At this moment, someone suddenly asked: “What if Yanyan doesn’t come back?”
“How is that possible?” Chi Yi waved his hand, “He likes Young Master He so much that you can’t even drive him away.”
A group of people laughed and quickly changed the topic to continue the discussion.
It was as if everyone had tacitly agreed that Xu ChengYan would definitely return to He Yang, and no one had considered other possibilities.
He Yang leaned on the sofa and drank red wine with a cold expression on his face, indifferent to Xu ChengYan’s affairs.
Holding the milk cup, Shen XiuZhu leaned over and asked softly, “Xu ChengYan, he…….is he okay?”
“Don’t worry about him.” He Yang casually said, “He will be back sooner or later.”
On the other side, Chi Yi took out the cards and chips and said: “Today is April Fool’s Day, let’s play something big!”
“How big is the game? I don’t have much money with me today. If I lose, I can only take off my clothes and pay off my debts!”
“Chi Yi, where are the models you’re talking about! When are you going to take them out to play?!”
Chi Yi said quickly: “Very soon, they’ll be here very soon! If you win, you can play as much as you like with my models!”
“Leave one for me! I’ll play too!”
Others came over one after another, clamoring to play with models.
He Yang didn’t go and participate in the game, he just looked at the gaming table with a pair of dark eyes that were obscure.
Xu ChengYan also liked to celebrate April Fool’s Day.
On April Fool’s Day in the first year, Xu ChengYan told him that there were no wontons at home, but when he returned home, there was a bowl of wonton on the table.
On April Fool’s Day the next year, Xu ChengYan said that the power was cut off at home, just to trick him into getting off work earlier.
The third year, the fourth year……..
It seemed that every April Fool’s Day, Xu ChengYan would make a little joke.
He Yang put down the wine glass and was about to get up to go outside to get some air when Shen XiuZhu stopped him.
Shen XiuZhu held the chessboard and asked, “Do you want to play chess?”
He Yang looked at the chessboard and said slowly, “I haven’t played for a long time.”
“I also haven’t played for a long time.” Shen XiuZhu smiled and put the chess in place, “In the past, I liked to play chess secretly with you…”
“They all think chess is boring, and you are the only one who will play with me.” Shen XiuZhu’s tone was a little nostalgic.
At the gaming table not far away, Chi Yi and the others had already started the game.
The April Fool’s Day party had begun.

And in the distant Anshi, under the cliff.
A black van fell to the ground and its body was squeezed to the point of deformation.
In the back seat of the car, Xu ChengYan was stuck in the middle of the seat, almost breathless and had difficulty breathing.
The incident happened too suddenly, Xu ChengYan opened his eyes in a daze, there was a roar in his ears, but he couldn’t hear any sound. His mind was blank, and he couldn’t think.
He couldn’t move his body, he didn’t even have the strength to climb out, only his wrists could barely move.
Everything was like a dream. There was no way to control his body, it was so unreal.
His chest was also a little stuffy, it seemed that something heavy was pressing against him, and there was also a burning pain on his right leg, it seemed he was injured.
There was a strong smell of blood and a pungent smell of gasoline all around.
Xu ChengYan moved his wrist a little numbly, and suddenly noticed that his fingertips touched a cold hard object. He subconsciously touched it, and found that it was a mobile phone.
With his fingertips attached to the cold phone, Xu ChengYan touched the phone, but his arm was stuck and he couldn’t get the phone over.
Xu ChengYan panted heavily, looked to the side, and lightly touched the screen with his fingertips.
The phone was automatically unlocked, and a low battery reminder popped up on the screen.
Only then did Xu ChengYan remember that he forgot to charge last night, but brought a power bank.
It’s just that now he didn’t know where the power bank fell, and he also didn’t know how long the phone’s power could last.
In a narrow and dark environment, only the mobile phone screen was lit with a faint light.
Xu ChengYan stretched out his hand with some effort, almost trembling, and clicked on the dial interface.
But his body was out of strength, and he couldn’t even dial the number, so he could only press the speed dial button ——
It’s XianSheng’s number.

Meanwhile, in the game room of the houseboat.
He Yang leaned against the sofa while playing chess with Shen XiuZhu.
After a while, Chi Yi shouted at the gaming table, “Young Master He, would you like to come and play a few games?”
He Yang didn’t answer, just looked up at Shen XiuZhu.
“It’s okay.” Shen XiuZhu smiled, “I’ll just stay by myself.”
He Yang responded with a sound, then got up, took the wine glass from the table, and walked towards the gaming table.
Shen XiuZhu put away the chess and sat leisurely on the sofa alone, holding a glass of hot milk and drinking slowly.
Suddenly, Shen XiuZhu heard the sound of the phone vibrating, and when he looked to the side, he saw a black phone left on the sofa. A call came in.
It was He Yang’s phone.
Shen XiuZhu reached for the phone and found that the call was from Xu ChengYan.
The phone was still vibrating. Shen XiuZhu looked at the three words “Xu ChengYan” on the screen, and moved his fingertips casually.
Then, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

T/N: Sorry. I’m facing some problems in rl and couldn’t even spare the time to translate. Sorry for making you wait for a long time without any notice. Here are some finished chapters. Enjoy!

Btw, don’t curse He Yang too much because it’ll be his ‘Showtime” soon!
