Chapter 223：Oreos with Milk

Xue Zi Xuan's complexion had never been so ugly, his whole body was emitting a very restless atmosphere, shocking the butler and assistant when they came out to greet him, wondering what happened.

"Look after Xiao Yi, don't let him get in contact with strangers." After the teenager pranced upstairs, Xue Zi Xuan said in a heavy voice.

"Did he get into trouble?" A hard light slipped over the steward's eyes, he wanted Xue Zi Xuan to command that they keep Huang Yi under house arrest, instead of feeding him delicious food and treating him so well.

He sat on the couch and clutched his chest thoughtfully.

The steward uttered a cry of horror, he hurriedly asked, "How could Yan Ye leisurely chat with a stranger? Did he discover something?" But after thinking about it, he felt that that wasn't right. A heart transplant wasn't a big deal, and even if Yan Ye found out, he certainly wouldn't obstruct it. Not to mention, who would think that Xue Jing Yi had an identical twin brother?

Xue Zi Xuan absent-mindedly shook his head.

"I won't let him go out again." The old butler promised.

"Why wouldn't you let him go out? As long as he keeps up his piano practice, let him go wherever he wants to play. Just follow him, make sure there's no danger." Xue Zi Xuan subconsciously responded. The boy especially liked to frolic around on the green lawn, his laughter like the most beautiful high notes, making the surrounding air feel fresh, he couldn't bear to take this happiness away from him.

The old steward wanted to ask if Xue Zi Xuan had forgotten the original purpose for bringing the boy back, but chose silence after a little thought. Even if he forgot, Sir and Madam would never forget.

Zhou Yun Sheng hurried back to his bedroom, removed the jacket around his waist and sniffed it deeply. A touch of cologne and cigar smoke mixed together, the intense sense of familiarity brought him to tears. He laid on the bed with his coat and excitedly rolled around, then began checking out the contents of the pockets.

No handkerchiefs, lighters, business cards or other debris, this coat was too clean, no wonder he dared take it off and casually throw it to a stranger. Zhou Yun Sheng sighed gloomily, then neatly hung up the coat in the closet.

He used 008 to synthesize a photo of his lover, using facial recognition software to search for his identity on the network, but the lack of results left him very disappointed.

He turned off the computer and slipped away to the living room. Xue Zi Xuan was behaving very weird today, he hadn't immediately taken a bath like he usually does, he was just sitting in the living in a daze. Xue Jing Yi was tranquilly leaning against him, her eyes heavy with extremely deep love. The weaker her body was, the more agitated her emotions became, and if it wasn't inevitably bounded to the human body, her thoughts would be flying out indefinitely.

Zhou Yun Sheng's lips slightly curved, he walked into the kitchen for a basket of fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of the two people.

"Jing Yi, do you want some fruit? I'll peel it for you." He picked out a big apple, his right hand holding a paring knife.

"No no, you eat it." Xue Jing Yi immediately put away her moody eyes and smiled reluctantly.

Xue Zi Xuan suddenly woke up, he took the paring knife away from the boy's hand and sternly said, "Don't touch knives in the future."

"Why?"

"To keep away from danger. An artist's hands can't bear even the slightest injury." Xue Zi Xuan said while holding the boy's white and slender fingers, his gaze obsessed. He put his palm up to the boy's palm, measuring the difference in size, and found that the boy's fingers were little shorter than his own. He couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile, then his knuckles bent slightly, gripping the boy's fingers, he slowly said "Don't feel that I'm just being fussy. Have you heard of Roger?"

Zhou Yun Sheng wanted to pull his fingers back, but the man clenched them tighter, he could only nod, "I know, I've seen him play basketball online. He's great, the best in the world."

"But he used to be better, at peak state his free throw rate was 80%, now it's only 34%, know why?"

"Umm… he cut his hand when peeling an apple?" Zhou Yun Sheng stared at the paring knife and hesitatingly said. Obviously his brain was comparable to Google, but he still felt uncomfortable pretending to be stupid in front of others.

"Not peeling an apple, cutting a cigar. He accidentally cut his right index finger's ligament, and the index finger could no longer bend correctly, affecting his throwing rate. Our hands are doing much finer work than throwing, so be sure to protect them well." Xue Zi Xuan couldn't restrain his fondness for those hands, kissing the five pink rounded fingertips one by one during his speech.

Zhou Yun Sheng shook like he was hit by lightning, he forcefully pulled his fingers away and shoved them into his pocket, inwardly cursing Xue Zi Xuan this pervert.

Xue Jing Yi's cheeks paled, her lips trembling, like she couldn't believe what she'd just seen. As a child, she'd had to beg to get a reluctant hug or helping hand from her brother, but now, he even took the initiative to kiss Huang Yi, and with such a gentle and loving expression. With what feelings does he cherish Huang Yi? Was it really just admiration?

Xue Zi Xuan was apparently also shocked by his own behavior, but he didn't regret it, on the contrary, he kept on pondering on the touch of the boy's cool fingertips to his lips. Like a gently blowing breeze, and like a snow-white feather's touch, too wonderful for words.

However, that deep throbbing and joyful feeling turned into indescribable pain and disappointment when he saw the boy's resistance. Xue Zi Xuan put on a light smile, pulled the boy into his arms, and gently rubbed the soft hair he'd wanted to touch for so long, he said, "Don't avoid me anymore, okay?"

"But you told me, I'm not allowed to touch you." Zhou Yun Sheng barely suppressed his desire to struggle.

The boy wasn't rejecting him, he was just being too obedient. Xue Zi Xuan was first startled, then he let out a pleasant chuckle, "Of course you can touch me, you're the most special." The most precious gift he'd ever received.

Zhou Yun Sheng used all his talent to redden his cheeks, pretending to be flattered, the moment he hung his head, he quickly glanced at Xue Jing Yi. She was curled up on the sofa, clinging tightly to a huge throw pillow, her cheeks were buried, so he couldn't see her expression.

But Zhou Yun Sheng knew that she must be feeling very miserable, because her knuckles where she clutched the pillow were pale and slightly trembling. The old Xue Zi Xuan only called her special, when the 'special' title was suddenly transferred to another person, and even intensified, only God knew what sort of psychological torture she was going through.

Xue Zi Xuan hugged the boy, like a small child finally getting his dream toy, his face full of unrestrainable wonder and joy. He tentatively rolled the strand of hair on the boy's cheek around his fingers, then let it loose, watching it bounce and fall back in place, then he repeated the action, like he couldn't get enough. He even wanted to press his lips against the boy's pink lips, to see how it tasted.

This impulse came so violently and inexplicably that he didn't know how to respond to it. Fortunately, the steward called them in for dinner, so he didn't get a chance to dwell on it.

Finally free of the man's embrace, Zhou Yun Sheng let out a relieved breath, using his chopsticks to fiercely attack his dinner. Xue Jing Yi was also relieved, she sat in her chair silently in a daze, not touching her bowl of food.

"Miss, do you feel unwell?" The steward walked over and asked.

"I'm fine." Xue Jing Yi waved him away, but stared expectantly at her brother, hoping he could focus his gaze on her. The reality left her disappointed, Xue Zi Xuan was clumsily placing vegetables in the boy's plate, ignoring the others. He had always been like this, only looking at what he wanted to see, only listening to what he wanted to hear, if you wanted to get his favor, you must use supremely wonderful music to impress him.

Xue Jing Yi had never had this ability, but Huang Yi did. His music perfected each day, if he wanted, he could use it to capture anyone.

An unprecedented sense of crisis and jealousy occupied Xue Jing Yi's thoughts, she slammed down her spoon and staggered upstairs. The butler glanced at the boy with cold eyes, then immediately followed her.

Zhou Yun Sheng took this opportunity to ask Xue Zi Xuan about his lover's identity.

"You don't have to know who he is. If you see him again, stay far away, he's very dangerous." Xue Zi Xuan seemed to think of something, his face showing a mixture of fear and shame.

Zhou Yun Sheng tried to ask indirectly, but didn't get any valuable clues, and had to give up.

————————–

The next day, Xue Rui and Xue Li Dani hurried back to participate in the family banquet. Xue Jia was very prominent, and they also retained the traditional clan system, clan rules were above the law, no one dared disobey.

Don't look at Xue Rui's outside grandeur, in fact, the Xue Group he founded only received a touch of Xue Clan's vast light, compared to the main branch's wealth, its size was insignificant. If he left the main branch's asylum, he was nothing.

In order to break into the main branch's center, he spent a huge amount of money to buy their villa, just because the Xue Clan's patriarch came here on vacation every summer, no one knew where he usually lived.

The patriarch, according to seniority, was Xue Rui's uncle, called Xue Yan. However, the man was only two years older than Xue Zi Xuan, and was the previous patriarch's youngest son. Old Xue died when he was twelve years old, and because he was his favorite son, he left him half of the family property. But Old Xue was very loose, marrying four wives in his lifetime, and also keeping numerous mistresses. He not only had six sons from his four wives, he had more than a dozen illegitimate children.

When he died, Xue Clan was suddenly plunged into a tragic inheritance war, the lonely boy Xue Yan, who owned half the family property, unsurprisingly became public enemy number one. It's unknown whether it was an accident or man-made, but just half a year after Old Xue entered the soil, the boy got into a car accident, and because of untimely treatment, his lower body was paralyzed.

His brothers behaved very despicably, not only carving up his family property, but also forcing him to crawl out of Xue house like a dog. From small to big, Old Xue only doted on him, so they naturally hated him to the bone.
