“Who is Xie Feicui?”

“Your name is Xie Feicui?”

Two voices sounded at the same time, Xie Fei looked at Yu Li, and then looked at the peach blossom eyes, a moment in silence.

In fact, the original owner was really called Xie Feicui when he was in the orphanage, because the dean’s surname was Xie, and the original group of children at orphanage were named after raw materials of jewelry. But the original owner was taken back to the Xie family after that the name was changed to Xie Fei,  I just don’t know what kind of mentality Xie Yao came from, he always liked to call the original owner “Xie Feicui.

Xie Fei wanted to talk to Yu Li and explain later, but saw that Xie Yao had already walked over.

When they were face to face, Xie Yao naturally noticed the people next to Xie Fei – one of them was his idol, and the other was actually Lu Xiping, a well-known gold producer in the industry.

Rumor has it that Lu Xiping is the grandson of one of the bigwigs, and has been escorted all the way since he joined the industry, and he himself is also very discerning and capable, producing TV dramas that are always riding high in the ratings, regardless of their reputation.

Why would these two people stand with Xie Fei? And Xie Fei seems to have changed a lot. Although the eyebrows are still the same, they are dazzling as if they were fine-tuned in a plastic surgery hospital, and the temperament is even more different.

What shocked Xie Yao even more was that a vegetative man who was no longer threatening in his heart, almost equivalent to death, appeared in front of him again intact…

Yes, Xie Yao still did not know that Xie Fei had recovered. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, how long would his cheap parents have tried to hide it from him? The actual fact is that they have been taking care of their own son behind his back?

Xie Yao’s eyes flickered slightly, suppressing the dissatisfaction and suspicion in his heart.

The current situation is unknown, must be careful, so he raised surprised laugh: “Feicui, you go where the last few months, I asked my parents and friends, they did not tell me.”

Xie Fei: “……”

I still have pearl agate too!

He rolled his eyes in his heart and did not believe that Xie Yao did not know what had happened to the original owner.

Xie Fei was just about to say a few sarcastic words when Yu Li suddenly asked, “You two know each other?”

“I’m his brother.” When Xie Yao saw that Yu Li had noticed him, he was busy greeting him politely, “Teacher Yu, Teacher Lu.”

“Hello.” Lu Xiping responded with a smile, and when he observed Yu Li’s sudden darkening of his face, he raised his sword eyebrows and prepared to watch the show with interest.

As expected, Yu Li didn’t disappoint him.

“It turns out that you are the adopted son of that magpie nest.” Of course, Yu Li thought of the “tragic” past that Xie Fei had told him, and the hostility was concentrated in his eyes, and every word was filled with ice.

Xie Yao secretly cursed, guessing that Xie Fei said something unfavorable about him in front of Yu Li, and Yu Li’s attitude seemed to mean Xie Fei’s advancement. Obviously, the relationship between the two was not bad. But usually on the set, Yu Li didn’t pay attention to him at all, even if he had tried his best to please him.

This difference in treatment made Xie Yao’s heart feel as if there was a fire burning in his heart, resentful and aggrieved. With Xie Fei’s vulgar and stupid personality, how did he manage to make Yu Li look at him differently?

Xie Yao tried very hard to manage his expression and did not deny what Yu Li said, but said guiltily: “The accident back then did make Feicui suffer a lot, I know, I’m sorry for him, I’ve been looking for him all this time, I didn’t expect to see him here ……” he looked at Xie Fei again, eyes containing concern: “I have a lot of things to say to you, can we talk alone?”

“No.”

The first time I saw you, I was running away for thousands of miles to avoid you, and yet you still ran into me.

But things have come to this, he does not need to take anything into account, anyway, his identity is the original sin of offending the protagonist, there is no option to seek peace, so smilingly said: “We are not familiar with each other, so there is nothing to talk about. You didn’t like to talk to me when you lived in Xie’s house.”

Xie Yao looked disappointed: “Fei cui, are you still blaming me?”

“Just saying the truth.” Xie Fei didn’t want to talk about the embarrassment and grievances suffered by the original owner but only reminded Xie Yao: “And I’ve changed my name to Xie Fei, Xie Feicui should have been your name, don’t call it wrong again.”

Until this moment, Xie Yao was completely sure that his brother, who had all his emotions and desires written on his face, had really changed drastically. The other side seems to have shed its barbarian trappings and entered civilized society, and also knows how to be hypocritical and hide a needle in his words.

Many thoughts flashed through Xie Yao’s mind, when he suddenly heard someone call his name, he turned his head back and turned out to be a friend of his adoptive father.

He was able to get an invitation to the dinner because of the other party’s help. Xie Yao didn’t dare to be rude, he just said sorry to the three people in front of him and walked towards the elder.

After greeting the people, he looked at the original position again, and happened to see the back of Yu Li and Xie Fei walking towards the terrace.

“I didn’t expect you actually knew him.” Xie Fei propped himself up on the terrace railing, pretending that he only learned about this today, “Although the Xie family doesn’t have a billion dollar family fortune, there are still group companies to inherit, instead of learning how to manage a business properly, he chose to go to the entertainment industry which is eight sticks away[1], is he not worried at all about me competing with him for the inheritance?”

[1]eight sticks away- beyond reach]

“He is a koi.” Yu Li said suddenly.

Xie Fei was not surprised that Yu Li could see that, and the reason he took the initiative to bring up Xie Yao was to inquire if there was a way to defend against the other party.

“The blood of the monster race in that fish is purer than the normal half-demon, so that he can grasp the inheritance faster.” Yu Li sneered and said disdainfully: “He should already know that if he wants to temper his blood, he needs more faith power, that’s why he chose to be a star.”

“The power of faith?”

“The fans’ liking and fascination for him is a kind of faith.”

Xie Fei nodded thoughtfully and asked the most crucial question, “Don’t koi usually symbolize good luck? Usually there are always people on the Internet who worship koi, and I’ve seen people say that if they offend the koi they will be backfired …… Then I became a vegetable by accident at the time, could it be related to him?”

Yu Li did not directly say yes or no, but very strictly told him “very likely”.

Xie Fei was anxious: “Then we met today, in case ……”

“There is no what-if.” Yu Li cut off his assumptions and turned his head to look directly at him.

Under the light, there were some incomprehensible meanings hidden in Yu Li’s eyes. After a long while, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said: “With me, what are you afraid of?”

Xie Fei vaguely remembered that not long ago Yu Li also said similar words, but the scene at that time can not quite be remembered.

But since Yu Li promised that there is no possibility, he believed that there is no possibility.

At this moment, a frivolous voice came from behind: “What are you two secretly talking about here?”

Xie Fei looked back and saw Lu Xiping walking slowly with two glasses of champagne, but the beauty who had just followed him was nowhere to be seen.

“Kid, are you over 18 years old?” Lu Xiping asked jokingly.

At this moment Xie Fei had already heard Yu Li introduced to each other and knew that Lu Xiping and Yu Li had a good relationship, considered to be above the level of wine and meat friends, so he returned a smile, “crossed already”

Lu Xiping then handed him a glass of champagne.

The glass was filled with a light golden liquid, tiny dense bubbles gushing up slowly. Xie Fei took a shallow taste, felt good, turned his head and asked, “Brother Yu Li, don’t you want a glass?”

Yu Li expression was light, he was about to say something but was snatched by Lu Xiping: “If you want to see our Mr. Yu say fast and sing, you can let him drink.”

Xie Fei: “……”

He remembered that President An seemed to have mentioned that Yu Li was drunk and performed Allegro at a charity dinner.

Xie Fei knew that Yu Li was angry again without confirming. The other side is really like a patient who can switch between extremes of emotions, before it was as warm as spring, and then it was cold and windy.

He heard Yu Li sneer, and the wine glass in his hand was taken away. The other party didn’t seem to dislike him for drinking it and tilted his head to finish a small glass of champagne, the pale face immediately diffused red.

Yu Li returned the empty glass to Lu Xiping and said slowly: “Mr. Lu, your seal is dark, the mole on your brow is showing, and the end of your eyes are red without disease, so you must be careful of peach blossoms.”

Lu Xiping only smiled, meaningful: “My peach blossom is still less?”

Yu Li sneered: “You do not come to beg me.”

After saying that, he raised his chin at Xie Fei: “Come on, let’s take you around.”

Xie Fei was originally worried that Yu Li would be drunk, but the other party behaved very reliably, and it was the first time he saw another side of Yu Li.

When talking to the bigwigs, Yu Li put away all his arrogance and impatience and became courteous, gentle and talkative, finally having the maturity and worldliness he should have had after 100 years in the world.

It turns out that he is not ignorant, just unwilling.

Xie Fei can’t help but be a little sad, this society is also too complex, so much that even a demon bully like Yu Li has been forced to have two faces ……

Xie Fei did not expect the bigwigs to bring him guests, but had only come to gain experience, and from the conversations of the people, he got a message.

It turns out that the government intends to build a high-speed railway between Nanshan City and neighboring cities, and the current rumors coming out, the high-speed railway is likely to run through Xining Village. But the village has a lot of old buildings, and was made into a famous farming attractions around Nanshan City, so the planning of the line from above is still controversial.

Xie Fei can’t help but think of the bald man who came to force the relocation, it is estimated to heard about it, and saw his inn covers a large area, could get more compensation, wanted to make the first move.

But if you really want to demolish and relocate, the inn can be demolished, but what about the spiritual formation?

Xie Fei looked at Yu Li several times, but the other party didn’t give him any hint, and it was not easy to ask, he was so lost in his thoughts he didn’t know that the organizer had held a lottery draw until the lights of the venue dimmed, and the lucky draw guests were naturally their newly signed spokespersons.

On the stage, a beautiful young lady of ceremony held a transparent raffle box filled with gold and silver five-pointed stars, each of which was engraved with a code corresponding to the invitation, and the winner would receive a mysterious prize.

Xie Fei’s invitation was given by Yu Li, a small one with a very delicate design. But he didn’t even bother to take it, not because he wasn’t interested in the prize, but because he knew what he was doing – with the koi in the room, what else was there to do?

A waiter passed by with a drink, Xie Fei asked for a glass of champagne and found a corner with a good view to look at the stage quietly.

The lights hit the center of the stage, and the world around them fell into darkness, except for the dazzling Yu Li under the lights, so dazzling that people could not move their eyes, just like a snow elf bathed in sunlight.

He is so beautiful.

Xie Fei took a sip of the wine, with a smooth texture spreading between his lips and teeth, with the fragrance of fruit.

He saw Yu Li open the sealed box and plucked a golden star from it. The other party, before reading out the code, suddenly raised his eyes to look at his direction, the corners of his lips showed a smile that was not easily detectable.

Xie Fei was stunned, wondering if Yu Li cheated and helped him win the lottery? But in fact, the other party is still very ethical, Yu Li slowly read out a few numbers, and the number corresponds to another person.

Xie Yao stood up and thanked those around him, because he had been expecting it, and he didn’t have much of a surprise.

Still, Xie Yao was in a pleasant mood when he thought about the person who had drawn the prize, except that Yu Li already had a preconceived ill feeling towards him, which made him quite apprehensive.

He walked up to the stage as calmly as he could and bowed politely facing Yu Li: “Thank you, Teacher Yu.”

Yu Li handed him the star in his hand and responded indifferently, “You’re welcome.”

Xie Yao had long been accustomed to Yu Li’s coldness and would not be foolish enough to explain anything to the other party on stage, let alone do anything out of place. He was about to leave when he saw Yu Li slowly extend his right hand.

He was hallucinating? Yu Li, actually wanted to shake hands with him?

But Xie Yao’s body reacted faster than his brain, and almost instantly shook the other side, but not before he felt the warmth of his palm, and Yu Li had already withdrawn his hand and tucked it into his trouser pocket.

Despite the momentary contact, Xie Yao was so surprised that he was still a bit overwhelmed until the president of the organizer walked on stage.

The host was talking emotionally about something, Xie Yao did not listen carefully, he looked at the stage, trying to find Yu Li’s position, but only saw a blurred figure.

Suddenly, he looked towards a corner with a sense of purpose, where a wall lamp was lit and a familiar person was standing under it, and the other person was looking at him.

He and Xie Fei, one on the stage and the other on the stage, looked at each other across the sea of people.

When their eyes met, Xie Yao suddenly caught an inexplicable feeling of excitement that was like a vine twisting around his heart, almost making him tremble.

He was towering over him, and Xie Fei could only ever look up to him in humility.

But his illusion was quickly shattered as Xie Fei smiled and raised his glass to him, where was his humility?

“Mr. Xie?”

Xie Yao snapped back to his senses, it turned out to be the president reminding him that it was time to reveal the grand prize.

Two courtesy ladies stood behind them carrying a rectangular sign with a curtain over it.

Xie Yao said sorry to the president and gently held the corner of the curtain.

“Three, two, one!”

The banquet hall echoed with the host’s passionate countdown, and when she shouted the last word, the winner on the stage suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing all over.

The screams penetrated everyone’s eardrums as Xie Yao frantically scratched himself – his face, neck, the back of his hands, his wrists, all the exposed skin was instantly covered with traces of blood.

The president, who could not easily react, rushed forward to check, but then stopped dead in his tracks.

He saw a piece of polygonal scales from Xie Yao’s neck spread upward, soon covering the entire face, the other party’s gaze lax, gasping for air, like a dying fish.

The author has something to say:

Fei: What if?

Li: There is no what-if, unless the fish can jump over the dragon gate.
