Chapter 66
Chapter 66
Chu Man didn't hear what was said on the other side of the phone, only heard Gu Ye's very contemptuous "huh" before hanging up the phone.
He turned around and hugged Chu Man, very clingy, Chu Man just let him hug him obediently as if he was still feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Is it Xu Zhien's call again?" Although she couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, Chu Man recognized the voice.
"En." Gu Ye responded, raised his palm, and pressed the three raised hairs playfully, feeling them rubbing back and forth in his palm, making one's heart itchy.
Chu Man pursed his lips, and when he called early in the morning, he became even more curious.
"Brother, have you ever been curious about your life experience?" Gu Ye asked suddenly.
Chu Man raised her head to look at him, why did she suddenly ask this?The original book only briefly explained the original owner's life experience. He grew up in an orphanage and was later adopted by adoptive parents. Unfortunately, within a few years, the adoptive parents died in a car accident. The original owner started working to support himself at a young age.
"Are you asking this suddenly because you want to find your brother's biological parents?" Chu Man smiled and pulled down the hand that kept rubbing his hair, and patted it lightly, "Don't rub, your head is going to be bald."
Gu Ye also smiled: "No, my brother's hair is very thick, and he won't be bald."
Chu Man stroked her hair, got out of bed happily, went to the closet to search for the clothes she was wearing today, and replied casually: "I think life is pretty good now, I don't have to figure out my life experience, in case Instead, it only increases troubles?"
Gu Ye got out of bed, stood behind him, thought for a moment, and agreed: "Brother is right, we have always been like this, together, it's good."
Chu Man hummed and changed his clothes. He tied his slightly long bangs into a small tug with a rubber band and put them on top of his head, fluttering in the wind. Gu Ye couldn't hold back, and touched again.
The breakfast was made by Gu Ye. It was a simple meal, but it tasted very good. Chu Man even felt a strange sense of familiarity after eating it—Chu Siye had made breakfast for him a few times before, and it tasted very similar to this.
"What's wrong, brother?" Gu Ye wiped his mouth after eating the last bite of fried egg, and asked in a warm voice, "Is it not to your taste?"
Chu Man shook her head, finished the porridge with side dishes, put down the spoon and asked casually, "Does Xiao Ye have any plans for today?"
"The company has something to deal with. What plans or ideas does my brother have?" Gu Ye took out a tissue and handed it to Chu Man, and nodded slightly at the corner of his mouth.
Chu Man was taken aback for a moment, he thought that Gu Ye would just wipe it off for him, wait, why did he have such a "thinking"?
While thinking about it angrily, Chu Man casually took the tissue, wiped the corners of his lips indiscriminately, and said in a low voice, "I don't have any plans, maybe I'll go to the art exhibition. There is a national art exhibition in Xicheng recently, and it's quite lively."
"Brother." Gu Ye's very serious call made him stunned, and subconsciously raised his head, but his lips were pressed against his cold fingertips, "Not only the corners of his mouth, but also on his mouth."
"Brother, what was he thinking just now, he doesn't seem very happy." Gu Ye twisted his fingertips, then calmly withdrew his hand, as if the action just now was normal.
The heart throbbed inexplicably, Chu Man subconsciously bit her lip, and the slightly sweet sweetness echoed between her lips and tongue.
It seems like something is out of control.
It wasn't until Gu Ye went to the company that Chu Man hadn't recovered. He rested his chin, a little at a loss.
Gu Ye is the cub he watched growing up and becoming an adult, how could he have such an idea, besides, Chu Siye is his favorite style.
However, Chu Siye, Chu Siye, is that what he thinks?Gu Ye... Could it be Chu Siye?
Chu Man thought in a daze, and he was taken aback when the idea came out. How could he have such absurd associations? !
Chu Man took out his mobile phone in a self-defeating manner. Instead of entangled here, it is better to ask Gu Ye if he knows Chu Siye, and see if he can see anything.
As soon as he opened WeChat, he received a message from Xu Zhien—this is really strange, since they added Xu Zhien, they have hardly communicated with each other, why is Xu Zhien contacting him at this time?
[Manman, are you free recently?Can we come out and meet? 】
It was a very common sentence, but Chu Man was stunned to pick out a little bit of care and something similar to flattery from between the lines.
Will Xu Zhien please him?His various associations today are really unreliable.
Chu Man supported his forehead, and silently despised himself. As for how Xu Zhien knew that he was still alive and had returned, he was not surprised.
With Xu Zhien's status and connections, he can't hide these things from him. The question is, why did he suddenly find him?
Is it...
Thinking of Gu Ye's sudden question and the phone call this morning, Chu Man seemed to understand something.
However, will the development of the plot be so bloody?The original owner is inconspicuous in the original book, exists like a background board, and ended up with such a miserable ending, it can be said that it has nothing to do with Xu Zhien.
But now there are various indications that... he is very likely to be the son of the benefactor that Xu Zhien is looking for?This is too bloody!
Chu Man hugged her legs and curled up on the sofa, not knowing whether or how to reply to Xu Zhien, see you?If the original owner is really the son of Mr. Zhong, should he recognize his ancestor and return to his clan?But if it's not what he thinks, what will Xu Zhien do when he finds him?
Chu Man buried his face in his knees, revealing a pair of eyes staring at the phone.
To be honest, like he said this morning, he is very happy with his life now.As for Xu Zhien, he is unfamiliar and does not have much affection. If he is really the son of Mr. Zhong, he vows to move into Xu's house, so what should Gu Ye do?
Thinking of this, Chu Man picked up his phone decisively, blocked Xu Zhien, and the action was done in one go, which can be called decisive.
No one can stop him from leaving his family.
After he blocked Xu Zhien's WeChat account, he blocked his mobile phone number one after another, and then he was clean.
Chu Man packed up and was about to go out to visit the art exhibition when he received a message from a manga editor whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.
Before he escaped to death, he finished the serialized manga, and never logged into that account again, and the editor never looked for him again. At this time, he was...
【Honey, I have good news for you!Someone has come to knock on the film and television copyright of your work. Is it convenient to talk about it online today? =v=]
Chu Man twitched his fingers. It is undoubtedly something to be happy about his work being recognized, but he has already decided not to use this account anymore, so these have nothing to do with him.
Chu Man crossed out the chat interface, put on a cap and mask, and went to the art exhibition!
There were a lot of people in the art exhibition, and it took nearly an hour just to line up, but when seeing those wonderful paintings with meaningful connotations, Chu Man felt that no matter how hard it was, it was worth it.
"Wow, Mom, is this an angel? He's so pretty!"
The innocent and childish voice sounded grandma, and Chu Man looked at it with a smile on his face, but when he saw clearly the painting the boy was pointing to, his smile froze.
In that painting, a man in a white shirt is leaning on the window sill, looking out of the window with his eyes slightly lowered. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on him, dreamily outlining a pair of hazy wings for him—very much like a bird that has fallen into the world. Angel.
This is a very beautiful and charming picture, if the protagonist of this painting is not him.
From the composition of the painting, the brushstrokes, and the familiar signature style in the lower right corner, Chu Man recognized at a glance that this was a replica of the painting that Yan Chengyun had painted for him back then.
Slightly modified, but not much.
He looked away, but fortunately, the face in that painting was very hazy, and the facial features were a little soft, making it difficult to identify.
Just as Chu Man was about to visit another exhibition area, he put his hands on his shoulders, and turned his head to meet a pair of fox eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses.
"Manman, have you seen that painting?"
"Since you're back, why don't you have a meal with the teacher."
Meeting Yan Chengyun by chance, Chu Man had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany him to Jiachuan Restaurant for dinner.
This Sichuan restaurant adopts a compartment system, and each compartment is equivalent to a small private box, which is very suitable for guests who have something to talk about, such as the two Yan Chu at this time.
To be honest, after returning from Death Escape, Chu Man was most worried about facing Gu Ye, and the person he was most afraid of facing was Yan Chengyun.
The latter was like an old fox, and thinking about the fate of cheating an old fox, Chu Man felt his scalp tingle.
"Is it very hot? Do you need to turn down the air conditioner?" Yan Chengyun picked up a pair of red Sichuan dishes with chopsticks, and ate them into his mouth without changing his expression, as if he couldn't feel the mouth-numbing spiciness at all.
Chu Man waved his hand, he was not sweating from the heat, he was sweating from the cold.
I was quite nervous after eating a meal, but after all, I didn't avoid the topic of his departure.Yan Chengyun still asked calmly: "How have you been over the past year?"
Chu Man nodded, and replied honestly, "It's pretty good."
Yan Chengyun smiled: "I guessed that you would leave Gu's family and Nancheng. I thought the house in Xicheng would be your residence. I thought I could help you cover up a thing or two, but I didn't expect..."
He didn't expect that he would make a lot of noise when he came, and the real estate in Xicheng was just a bait on the surface, and he didn't even expect that Yan Chengyun would hide it from him when he left quietly.
"Manman, what I said at the beginning still counts. As long as you need it, I am willing to help you unconditionally." Yan Chengyun poured a glass of warm water for him, and said softly, "Take a sip, I have sweated so much."
Chu Man was ashamed, he took advantage of Yan Chengyun in this matter, and it was his fault.
"Sorry, I..." Yan Chengyun stopped what he was going to say next, he was sure he didn't want to hear that.
"You don't need to apologize, this is your choice, I understand." After eating the last bite slowly, Yan Chengyun crossed his hands in front of him, and said with eyes closed, "But Manman, since you've already left, why do you want to come back?"
"For Gu Ye? For that kid, so you chose to come back?" Yan Chengyun said slowly, raising his eyes to observe every change in the other's expression, "You care about him very much, Manman."
Chu Man graciously admitted that Tang Xiao's matter had become an uproar, and Yan Chengyun could always find out if he wanted to investigate.
"But Manman, do you really understand what kind of person he is?" Yan Chengyun leaned forward, staring at him with deep eyes, "Do you know how many things he has done behind your back?"
"He is not a big boy who needs your protection and care. He is a newly promoted wolf who hides his strength and bides his time. His methods and schemes are more comprehensive and profound than you can imagine."
Yan Chengyun changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Manman, I have been looking for opportunities to approach you, but I have never had the opportunity. Do you know why?"
"Because compared to Bai Yuanhao, Gu Yao, and Xu Zhien, my existence makes Gu Ye more afraid."
