In the evening, He Yang went to the bar.
He called a few friends out to get together.

Because Shen XiuZhu was not in good health, He Yang didn’t plan to call Shen XiuZhu to the bar. 

But when He Yang came to the private room of the bar, he saw that Shen XiuZhu was also there.

He Yang asked: “Why are you here? Why don’t you have a good rest at home?”

 

 

“I heard Chi Yi say that you asked them out, and I want to come along too.” Shen XiuZhu smiled a little embarrassedly.

He Yang frowned immediately, “There are many people in the bar and it smells of smoke.” 

Chi Yi said quickly: “It’s okay! Many of us are guarding! We promise not to let XiuZhu touch the wine! And won’t let him touch the smell of smoke!”

 

“Don’t worry, many of us are watching!” A young man smiled and handed Shen XiuZhu a drink, “Orange juice specially ordered for XiuZhu!”

He Yang didn’t say anything else, he took the wine glass and sat beside Shen XiuZhu.

People came in one after another in the private room, including Jiang Lin.

 

“It’s rare for Young Master He to take the initiative to call us out for a party!” A boy smiled, looked around again, and asked, “Where’s Yanyan? Yanyan didn’t come?

“Why doesn’t Young Master He call Yanyan out as well?” A group of people didn’t think it was a big deal to watch the fun, and they coaxed He Yang to call Xu ChengYan too.

“No need.” He Yang just said casually, “He’s gone.”

Chi Yi asked casually, “Gone? Where did he go?” 

“Run away from home.” He Yang leaned on the sofa and swayed the wine glass casually.

“Yanyan ran away from home?” Another boy was amused, “Did I hear it wrong? He was willing to leave? I thought he wouldn’t dare to do anything.”

Chi Yi nodded and said, “It’s better to leave.”

“Calling and pestering Young Master He every day, as if he is checking on his spouse.” Chi Yi sneered, “He didn’t even have an official status, and still thinking that he was the real master.” 

“I think it’s because Young Master He is too kind to him, and he’s getting more and more courageous, and he still dares to run away from home……”

He Yang listened to the voices around him.
There was no reaction on his face, as if the things they were discussing had nothing to do with him.

“If you didn’t accompany me to the hospital during the day, maybe it wouldn’t be like this…….”

 

“It has nothing to do with you.” He Yang said lightly.
And, he said indifferently: “If he’s gone, then he’s gone.”

Jiang Lin happened to be sitting on the right side of He Yang and said in shock, “Brother, what’s going on? Why did Sister-in-law leave?” 

“He threw a tantrum and left.” He Yang was drinking with a casual attitude.

Jiang Lin quickly asked, “Then, when will Sister-in-law come back?”

“I don’t know.” He Yang didn’t care.

Chi Yi nodded: “I think as long as Young Master He waved his hand, he would come faster than anyone else.” 

Another person immediately joined the talk: “Maybe this time, Young Master He won’t even need to wave his hand, he will come back by himself.”

“If he has a bit of backbone, he might just stay outside for a few more days.”

“Where did he have his backbone? Without Young Master He for a day, it would be like losing his life!”

There was a burst of laughter all around. 

“I bet for three days, Yanyan definitely won’t be able to bear it and will sneak back!”

“Then I bet a week!”

Someone came over and asked, “What about Young Master He? How many days does Young Master He bet?”

He Yang rubbed the wine glass in his hand and said unhurriedly, “Five days.” 

“Okay, okay, okay! Young Master He bet for five days!” Chi Yi interrupted, “When the time comes, we’ll see Yanyan will come back after how many days!”

The group of people in the box was lively, and soon they changed to another topic.

The matter of Xu ChengYan’s departure was just a pastime topic for them when they were bored.

The party didn’t end until midnight. 

He Yang got up and said to the person beside him, “I send you back?”

“It’s not on the way.
I’ll just go back by myself.” Shen XiuZhu smiled.

 

“Is XiuZhu living in Jiang’an Community?” Someone came over and said, “I’m going that way, I can take XiuZhu back.”

He Yang nodded and then said to Shen XiuZhu, “Remember to take medicine at night.” 

“Okay.” Shen XiuZhu nodded in response.

He Yang then turned to leave and went to the parking lot.

And just when He Yang was about to get into the car, Jiang Lin hurried over.

“Brother!” Jiang Lin was a little anxious, “What happened to you and Sister-in-law?” 

“I went to Sister-in-law to eat dinner last night.
It was fine at the time.
Why did he suddenly leave today?” Jiang Lin frowned.

“It’s just like that.” He Yang leaned against the car, “He left during the day.”

“Brother, what the hell are you thinking?” Jiang Lin couldn’t figure it out at all, “How come you didn’t do anything about it!”

He Yang : “It’s not like he won’t come back.” 

Jiang Lin was still not at ease, and he always felt a little uneasy.

But after all, this was a private matter between his brother and Sister-in-law, and it’s not good for him to say something.

After returning home, Jiang Lin couldn’t help but secretly called his Sister-in-law.

Fortunately, the other end of the phone was connected quickly, and Jiang Lin hurriedly called out, “Sister-in-law.” 

“Yeah.”

Jiang Lin asked cautiously: “Where is Sister-in-law now? Brother said you left…….”

“I’m in Anshi.” Xu ChengYan explained: “I want to rest for a few days, so I came out alone.”

“Did you quarrel with my brother?” 

“No, it’s just a little problem of my own.” Xu ChengYan’s tone sounded more relaxed: “I came out to adjust my mood.”

Jiang Lin listened to the movement on the other end of the phone.
He didn’t hear anything unusual, so he felt relieved and asked: “Is Anshi fun?”

 

“Very good.” Xu ChengYan smiled, “I’m going to visit the ancient town tomorrow.”

“Then, when will Sister-in-law come back?” 

“Not sure.” Xu ChengYan thought for a while and then said: “When I come back, I’ll bring you a souvenir.”

“Okay!” When Jiang Lin heard this, he suddenly became energetic, “Are there any stamps! I want stamps!”

Xu ChengYan also knew that Jiang Lin likes to collect stamps and so on, so he said: “I’ll check it out for you tomorrow.”

“Sorry for bothering you, Sister-in-law!” 

The two chatted on the phone for a while before hanging up.

Just after hanging up the phone, Xu ChengYan’s expression was not as relaxed as it appeared on the phone.

Xu ChengYan was lying on the bed alone, flipping through the phone, and opened the chat room with XianSheng.

The chat record was still the same as last night, and there was no news after that. 

Xu ChengYan looked at the record and remembered what XianSheng told him on the phone in the evening ——

XianSheng told him not to come back.

He wasn’t sure if it was XianSheng’s angry words or if he was serious.

Xu ChengYan put down the phone and nestled in the quilt. 

Today was his first night away from XianSheng.
There was no familiar smell on the bed, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

But even if he was not used to it, he must always get used to it.
