Cheng Xiaoxiao would like to ask this brother if he has a sibling named Ren Yuexi, or Ren Manlou.

"Do you have any more siblings?"

Cheng Xiaoxia, who couldn't hold her tongue, really asked out of the blue.

But just ask, why did Ren Yanlai change his face again?

Could it be that Ren Yanlai didn't even want to talk to him now just because Cheng Xiaoxiao had messed with him just now?

That's a bit petty, that's a bit too narrow-minded.

You dislike me, I'll return the favor, we're not one-on-one, it's fair.

Failing to quickly wait for Ren Yanlai's reply, Cheng Xiaoxiao could only skim her mouth in some embarrassment.

She once again retracted her neck and hid behind Chu Yunshen, and never again tried to observe Ren Yanlai on the opposite side.

The air was quiet once again, for some reason, Chu Yunshen actually did not open his mouth again either, he seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, when the tangles in Ren Yanlai's eyes dissipated, he finally reluctantly opened his mouth:

"There's nothing that can't be said, just some old stories from the past."

After saying this, the corner of Ren Yanlai's mouth pulled out a very faint arc, this smile is too miserable, with a hint of self-deprecation, to see Cheng Xiaoxiao straight in the heart shouted 'big deal'.

This look is a story of male students, she said just now Ren Yanlai did not directly whisk away, how this will suddenly shut up not to mention, the original is she poked people's sadness.

She was determined to apologize to Ren Yanlai first, how to say that she had touched the other party's privacy. Even if it was unintentional, she couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

"I'm the one overstepping my bounds, you don't really have to force yourself if you really don't want to talk about it, actually."

Cheng Xiaoxia came when she said she would, she reminded in a small voice, her toes still rubbing on the ground all the time, and by looking at her I could tell she was a little embarrassed.

Ren Yanlai froze for a moment, probably not expecting Cheng Xiaoxiao to apologize. He seemed to smile for a moment, and only after hiding the thousands of emotions in his eyes did Ren Yanlai raise his head to look at Cheng Xiaoxiao and the others with a fixed gaze, "My origins are very good. When mentioning the Li City Ren family, no one knows that no one knows ..."

It's a good thing you came from a good place, and you've gotten yourself into this mess, and you're acting like a big tail here.

Intuition told Cheng Xiaoxiao that she must not say this, or this time Ren Yanlai must really want to turn the other cheek.

Cheng Xiaoxiao, who still had some self-control, followed Chu Yunshen's example of muteness and only listened with her eyes as Ren Yanlai continued to tell the story.

"Everyone knows that the Ren family has a great young master, pampered since childhood, held in the hands of all for fear of falling, and contained in the mouth for fear of melting."

Ren Yanlai's smile became more and more bitter, and the spirit in his eyes was no longer there just now:

"The youngest master of the Ren family, Ren Yuexi. He's talented and brash, his family is well-off and generous, and everyone in Lycheng is full of praise when he's mentioned."

It's really Ren Yuexi.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about her guess just now and inevitably felt a little smug in her heart.

Such a name can be thought of by her, or she went to support a stall, can pinch and can still be a half-assed godmother.

Wait, but that's not right.

Ren Yanlai had just said that there was only one young master in the Ren family, and had only mentioned Ren Yuexi, so what about him, Ren Yanlai?

Ren Yanlai is not also a son of the Ren family, so how come he didn't mention himself?

"You, but you ..."

Cheng Xiaoxiao hesitated and didn't know how to open her mouth, she had to ''you'' for half a day and was touched by Chu Yunshen's elbow, in the end, she could only obediently shut up.

Ren Yanlai still felt Cheng Xiaoxiao's curious and undisguised eyes, he shook his head with some amusement, a soft sigh spilling out from the corner of his lips:

"I'm sure you all heard it, Ren Yuexi instead of Ren Yanlai."

"But it's no big deal, I myself don't belong to the Ren family." Ren Yanlai waved his hand without much care, the excitement from earlier had already been withdrawn with his soft sigh:

"After my family was destroyed, I was adopted by the Ren family. Three years after I entered the family, the Ren family's mother got a son, and that child was Ren Yuexi."

So that's how it turned out, Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes quickly rose with even more intense guilt.

She wanted to apologize to Ren Yanlai even more now, but the other party didn't seem to have finished speaking, if she interjected now wasn't it a bit impolite?

Cheng Xiaoxiao was tangled up behind Chu Yunshen, but she didn't know that Chu Yunshen in front of her felt affected by Cheng Xiaoxiao's disordered breathing and had already turned back to gaze at Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"Is something wrong?"

Chu Yunshen's low voice sounded in Cheng Xiaoxiao's ears.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked up and bumped right into those worried danfeng eyes, she was stunned, and for a moment, she actually let all her thoughts dissipate, leaving only these eyes in front of her that were full of her.

"No, it's fine."

Cheng Xiaoxiao stammered back, signaling Chu Yunshen to hurriedly turn back to look at Ren Yanlai.

She herself took a step forward and walked to stand at Chu Yunshen's side, saving Chu Yunshen from not being able to notice her expression and mistakenly thinking that something had happened to her again.

This will also facilitate communication between the three of them.

For some reason, Ren Yanlai's story made Cheng Xiaoxiao think of the little brat Doudou who had told her about her birth in the first place.

Although the two stories have some discrepancies, but after all, are taken back to the adoption of the family behind the child. Thinking of the misery of the beans, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked like Ren Yanlai's eyes are a few points softer, and his voice is also the same:

"Then ... they are treating you badly? That Ren Yuexi bullied you, or was it the main mother?"

"The Ren family has been good to me, it was me who was too embarrassed to stay there any longer and left early to live on my own."

Ren Yanlai waited until Cheng Xiaoxiao Chu Yunshen's interaction between the two ended before he moved his lips, presumably if it wasn't for Cheng Xiaoxiao's question, he could have remained silent for a while.

This time, he didn't react to the closeness between Cheng Xiaoxiao and the others, so I guess he was used to the movements of these two.

"I've been selling words and paintings all these years, and I can barely make a living."

Ren Yanlai said again when he said these things lightly, but sounded so a stream of sadness.

The more he did, the more he caused Cheng Xiaoxiao to sigh.

Then again, why would Cheng Xiaoxiao need to ask anything.

Just think about it this way and you'll know that no matter how good the Ren family is, there will eventually be some difference in treatment, right?

If they had really treated Ren Yanlai well, how could Ren Yanlai have come out to sell his paintings to make a living?

How could they let Ren Yanlai stray here and suffer all these years?

Cheng Xiaoxiao and Chu Yunshen looked at each other, and from Chu Yunshen's knowing look she was even more determined.

It was already dark outside, the storm still hadn't stopped, and the wind and rain were whistling.

The fire inside the temple crackled, the movement of burning firewood.

The firewood was the kind that had been in the original temple, all of it dry and well-burned.

Just now by the small five they took and set up in the temple has long been burning for a while.

The broken holes in the roof and walls were also plugged up, and this time the temple was warm and toasty, baking Cheng Xiaoxiao's original dampness to recede.

With this look, Cheng Xiaoxiao realized that the others in the temple had already packed up everything. Although they didn't look directly towards them, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that Ren Yanlai's words had already attracted the attention of the crowd when she scanned the expressions of the people.

Especially Mubai, who was farther away from the fire, and the light was so dim in that position that he couldn't see the expressions on people's faces, but Mubai was pretending there with a book in his hand.

Even if you listen to the wall you should act like it, you're fooling the ghost with this fake trick.

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to look any further for fear that the twitching at the corners of her eyes would be too obvious.

It was good that Ren Yanlai's story had come to an end, and the guys were able to sit around the fire and talk about something else as if nothing had happened.

When the smell of fire in the temple besides firewood and straw flatly added the aroma of meat, Cheng Xiaoxiao's stomach indisputably growled.

It's Zhu Rong they stewed air-dried rabbit meat.

That rabbit meat broth also had noodle cakes in it, and the meat aroma mixed with the unique wheat flour flavor of the noodle cakes caused Cheng Xiaoxiao's saliva to secrete like crazy.

Along with the gurgling sound of that broth, Cheng Xiaoxiao heard herself swallowing her saliva boss, her eyes were almost flying into the soup pot, and the conversation between Chu Yunshen and Ren Yanlai couldn't hook her half interest anymore.

In any case, they are all talking about some ideals and ambitions, and Cheng Xiaoxiao would have been too lazy to listen to them.

"The vermilion door stinks of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. This way, there are all kinds of living beings, it seems that this year is extraordinarily sad some, everyone is not living very well."

Ren Yanlai stared despondently at the fire in front of him, his face reddened by the firelight, and the swaying shadows of the fire reflected in his eyes.

"Life is not what it seems, it's just the norm."

Chu Yunshen rippled and responded.

From just now, Chu Yunshen's face could not be seen to show any emotions, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

"But I'm inclined to disbelieve the norm."

Ren Yanlai's voice steeply chilled as he stoically said.

At this change in his attitude, Cheng Xiaoxiao withdrew her own eyes from looking at the pot and gazed at Ren Yanlai with some confusion.

Chu Yunshen also cast a faint glance.

"What if I say that I insist on going against the grain?"

Ren Yanlai also inclined his head as he angled his face sideways to look back at Chu Yunshen, asking Chu Yunshen rhetorically in a joking tone.

Chu Yunshen did not say anything.

"I want this sky to no longer be black or white; this world to no longer follow the rules." Ren Yanlai stared fixedly at Chu Yunshen's eyes, and continued to ask word by word, "Would brother feel that I am just talking about dreams."

Ren Yanlai's tone was full of concern, and his face had an indifferent smile, but his eyes were bright and compelling.

Not because of the fire, but the light that burst out of itself.

This light, the light that refuses to give in, is the essence of a hundred yields.

Chu Yunshen seemed to be seriously sizing up Ren Yanlai only at this time, his thin lips pursing.

Look at his appearance as if he does not want to respond to Ren Yanlai, just waiting for Ren Yanlai to shut up obediently.

Could it be that Chu Yunshen didn't like such a hot-blooded teenager?

Still too many people like Ren Yanlai to have any sense of sincerity.

Either way, there's got to be a few words to make up for it, right? Why don't she do it first?

Unable to wait for Chu Yunshen's hint, these two were still meeting eyes, Cheng Xiaoxiao could only clear her throat, intending to heckle this matter and bring it to a close.

Ren Yanlai locked eyes with Chu Yunshen for a moment before averting his eyes, his mouth slowly uttering his exclamation:

"Indeed it is a fool's errand. And what can I do."

He laughed mockingly and sighed with a suppressed voice, "I didn't win the examination even after a few years of rushing. What ability does a person like me have to change everything."

After saying that Ren Yanlai also shook his head, with a look of self-shame.

He who was so arrogant just now, how did he seem to have changed his nature at this time.
