Xu Chengyan looked at the phone, still a little lost.

Mr. is accompanying the young master again.

Xu Chengyan stayed alone on the terrace for a long time, until it was windy outside and it was raining lightly, and then got up and went back to the room.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but Mr. still hadn't come back. He probably won't come back.

Xu Chengyan sat by the bed with his cell phone, flipped through tomorrow's flight schedule, and bought a ticket to other provinces at noon tomorrow.

After buying the ticket, Xu Chengyan clicked on Mr.'s chat box, thought about it, and sent a message over—

[Sir, the wontons are in the refrigerator, and my aunt will come over to cook these days. 】

[The potted plants on the balcony are best watered once every three days. If the weather is good, you can move them outside to bask in the sun. It doesn't matter if the husband forgets, the auntie will also help take care of it. 】

[The temperature will cool down in the past few days, sir, pay attention to your body. 】

After the message was sent, Xu Chengyan waited for a while, but still didn't wait for a reply, so he put the phone aside and didn't look at it again.

When Xu Chengyan woke up the next morning, the seat beside him was still empty.

Mr. didn't come back all night.

After Xu Chengyan finished washing up and changed his clothes, he called Mr.

After the call was connected, Xu Chengyan asked, "Sir, will you be back tonight?"

"Sorry, He Yang has something to do, wait a moment." A somewhat familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone, "He Yang, the phone—"

Xu Chengyan held the phone and heard the voice of the young master.

There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, and after a while, He Yang's voice came.

"What's up?"

Xu Chengyan asked, "Sir, will you be back tonight?"

He Yang said lightly, "I won't come back."

Xu Chengyan held the phone tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to accompany Shen Xiuzhu, sir?"

He Yang: "Well, accompany him to the hospital for a checkup."

"I see." Xu Chengyan responded and said, "Sir, I will go out in the afternoon, I'm not sure when I will be back."

"As you like." He Yang didn't take it to heart.

Xu Chengyan wanted to say something more, but the phone had been hung up.

On the other side, after He Yang hung up the phone, he put the phone aside and took the water glass and poured a cup of hot water.

Shen Xiuzhu saw it, walked over, and asked softly, "Is there something important?"

"If you have something to do, just go and do it first." Shen Xiuzhu smiled shyly, "It doesn't matter if I am alone."

"It's nothing important." He Yang said lightly, and just handed over the cold medicine and the water cup, "Take the medicine first, and then go to the hospital later."

Shen Xiuzhu obediently took the cup and prepared to take the medicine.

The water cup was still steaming, and Shen Xiuzhu was wearing glasses again, and a layer of fog instantly formed on the lenses.

He Yang stretched out his hand and skillfully helped Shen Xiuzhu take off his glasses, took out a piece of paper from the side, and wiped it on the lenses.

Shen Xiuzhu finished drinking the hot water, leaned against the table, and quietly watched He Yang wipe the lenses.

After cleaning the glasses, Shen Xiuzhu leaned over very naturally and asked He Yang to help him put on the glasses.

The movements between the two are very familiar, as if they have done it countless times.

After that, He Yang accompanied Shen Xiuzhu to the hospital for a re-examination, and stayed by Shen Xiuzhu's side all the time.

By the time He Yang returned to the apartment, it was already evening.

The curtains in the living room were drawn tightly, and the lights were not turned on in the room, it was pitch black.

When he came to the bedroom, He Yang turned on the light, but did not see a familiar figure in the bedroom, Xu Chengyan was not at home.

There was one less person in the apartment, and it instantly became a little deserted.

However, He Yang only thought that Xu Chengyan didn't come back because he had a class in the afternoon, so he didn't care much.

Until it was dark outside, Xu Chengyan hadn't come back, and he didn't send any news.

He Yang sat on the bed, still took the phone and called Xu Chengyan.

"Yanyan." He Yang asked, "Still outside?"

"Yeah." The other end of the phone answered.

He Yang asked, "Where are you? I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

"No need." Xu Chengyan said, "Sir, I'm in Anshi."

Anshi was in the next province, He Yang suddenly asked, "Why did you suddenly run over there?"

Xu Chengyan explained: "I told Mr. last time that I want to rest for a while, so I will go out for a walk."

He Yang also remembered the time when Xu Chengyan had told him to rest.

He Yang asked: "When will you be back?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while before replying, "I don't know."

It was only then that He Yang noticed something was wrong and asked, "Yanyan, what happened?"

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, it was quiet.

He Yang asked, "Why did you suddenly run out without saying a word?"

"Sorry, sir." Xu Chengyan held the phone and stayed in the hotel room alone, looking at the night view outside the window, and said slowly, "I still can't accept that Mr. treats another person so well."

He Yang frowned slightly, "Yanyan, don't make trouble."

"Sir, I didn't make trouble." Xu Chengyan lowered his head and said softly, "Why does Mister think I'm making trouble every time?"

He's had enough of that.

"Sir, maybe we all need a little time to calm down." Xu Chengyan resisted his emotions, his eyes were slightly red, "It's best to stay away for a while."

He Yang listened to the voice on the other end of the phone, the expression on his face became cold, "I said, he is my friend."

"Sir, there are many kinds of friends..." Xu Chengyan's voice choked.

"He has a heart condition and cannot be stimulated." He Yang rubbed his eyebrows, "Someone needs to take care of him."

"How long will the gentleman take care of him?" Xu Chengyan's tone became a little excited, "One year? Two years? Or twenty or thirty years?"

"Xu Chengyan!"

Xu Chengyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowed down a bit, and finally said, "Sir, I don't want to talk about him anymore."

"Xu Chengyan, how did you promise me five years ago?" He Yang's tone became a little heavier, "I regret it now, why are you angry?!"

Xu Chengyan lowered his eyes.

Five years ago, he had promised his husband that he could not be named.

He also promised Mr. that he would be very obedient and obedient, and he would obey Mr.

"But five years ago, Mr. didn't say that he wanted me to be a substitute." Xu Chengyan said slowly, "It was Mr. who lied to me."

"I can't accept his existence, and I don't want to be his stand-in."

"Sir, I just need a moment to calm down."

After speaking, the phone fell silent, and no one spoke again.

After a long time, He Yang said coldly, "Then don't come back."

He Yang hung up the phone.
