Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 35
byChapter 35 Black and white take it all
A few people played Tai Chi back and forth in the living room for a long time, and also played some dirty psychological tactics. Chu Yiqi didn’t know whether it was because he had been with a psychiatrist for a long time or because he was gifted, but he was so good at this trick.
In the end, Yu Nianxi voted for Shi Yunshan and Meng Yike, and then added Xi Ai out of personal grudges.
Turns out two of them were right.
“Look, what kind of strength is that?” Yu Nianxi smiled brightly, with a faint hint of tiger teeth.
One of the real culprits, Meng Yike, smiled and said, “It’s up to you to figure out whether it’s a personal grudge or a real reasoning.”
“Personal grudges are something I’m very good at.”
As a result of the back-and-forth, Shi Yunshan, Nie Chuiying and Meng Yike were outvoted by the overwhelming number of votes.
What a perfect collaboration.
Only the victim stayed awake and identified the perpetrators, such as Yu Nianxi and Meng Yike.
The next few days would be much easier, so Chu Yiqi and Xi Ai took the time to return to Xi’s house.
I also went to pick some tea leaves at noon.
Junshan Silver Needle.
As soon as they met, Nian Zhaoyi ran over and hugged Chu Yiqi.
“Long time no see.”
Xi Ai stood between them, half-seriously angry: “Don’t we have more time?”
“It’s different.” Nian Zhaoyi made up a very false excuse for herself, “I just dreamed about you because I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Xi Ai handed over the souvenir to Nian Zhaoyi without commenting.
“This is the one I didn’t get before.”
“Really?” What Xi Ai said was obviously normal, but it sounded particularly irritating. “I don’t know, the brand gave it to me.”
“It’s all you who stole Zhaoyi’s share.” Chu Yiqi decisively rebelled and helped Nian Zhaoyi harm Xi Ai.
Xi Ai had nothing to say, so she had to shut up.
Xi Yuchuan glanced at Xi Ai, then at Chu Yiqi, but finally said nothing. He lowered his eyes and helped Nian Zhaoyi pull open the stool and put a pillow on it.
Xi Ai was like a carefree person, just watching the show and laughing as much as she wanted.
Chu Yiqi had little communication with Xi Yuchuan, but he knew Nian Zhaoyi’s thoughts. He had always been particularly surprised by their atmosphere. It was very subtle, as if there was a bit of warmth mixed in a business marriage.
I don’t know if it’s because I can’t help it or if it’s just habit.
She endured it again and again, but still didn’t ask Xi Ai. She just sat quietly and asked, “Where is grandpa?”
“Grandpa was taking a walk outside and was on his way back just now.” Nian Zhaoyi explained.
Xi Ai folded her hands and rested her head on them: “Then you called me over so early.”
“Five golden minutes, what do you know?”
Xi Ai scoffed: “If you have any thoughts, please stay at home.”
“How come?”
Chu Yiqi calmly added to Xi Ai: “It’s just for you, don’t think too much.”
“…”
Seeing that Xi Ai was about to speak, Xi Yuchuan preemptively said, “Shh-or I’ll tell grandpa all the bad things you did the year before and last.”
Xi Ai rubbed the tip of her nose, having been worried about this matter for so long, she almost wanted to break the pot, but today she had something to look forward to.
*
In the half month after Chu Yiqi left, Xi Ai was so busy that she even went abroad to go to sea with Mu Jin’s group on Mu Jin’s cruise ship.
Miss Xi generously gave herself a week’s vacation. She spent three days at sea and won three days of playing cards.
Then I went to a private island, scuba diving and surfing, each of which was played to the “extreme” – like the limit of not being able to live in the next moment.
Mu now wanted to call her, but she didn’t think anyone could persuade her.
“Don’t worry, I know it myself. It’s just a bit boring.”
Mu is silent now.
Xi Ai has always been like this, seemingly invulnerable, but in fact she is holding back her emotions alone, and then letting herself hover around the critical point, waiting for a while to adapt.
Later, he became furious and did not shy away from speaking: Xi Ai, if you are really on par with Chu Yiqi, you should ask Serena for some psychological counseling.”
“It seems that this is not possible, I have to go back to work.”Xi Ai looked at Mu Jin for a while and said, “I have always felt that there are no normal people in our group.”
“…”
On the last day of the vacation, Xi Ai went to take a set of photos. Her style was different from her previous ones. She was light and her eyes were too beautiful. Her eyes always had no real focus, like the center of a typhoon. Everyone who looked at her had to follow the eye of the typhoon. If they were not careful, they would be forced to feel the wind and rain – it was very uncomfortable.
When Xi Yuchuan sensed something was wrong and finally had time, he quickly reminded: “Xi Ai, please let yourself go. If you keep doing this, I will have to take care of you.”
Mr. Xi had always been worried about Xi Ai’s character, but he had been unable to do anything about it. It was not until Xi Ai went to the hospital to get nutritional injections that he finally learned of the news.
“Xi Ai, I always wonder whether it was the right choice for you to be exposed to family affairs too early.”
Xi Ai raised her head. In fact, she thought she had gotten over those emotions. She was just used to the intensity of work and felt there was no need to change.
She also knew that Xi Yuchuan hid a lot of things for her, so the old man only knew that she had been transferred to the hospital continuously in the past half month.
“Grandpa, why do you think so? This time it was an accident.”
“Really?”
“I promise, it won’t happen next time… there won’t be a next time.”Xi Ai’s face when she pretends to be good is quite convincing.
But Mr. Xi obviously didn’t believe it, so he gave his aunt to Xi Ai to supervise Xi Ai to be normal in disguise.
*
Xi Ai suddenly remembered the accident that happened during the deep dive, and felt a sense of suffocation. She blinked, put her index finger on her lips, and then gave a reason to deceive Chu: “Isn’t it just that the connection was too time-consuming? Stop talking.”
Xi Yuchuan was exactly the same as Xi Ai in terms of humiliating people. He looked at Xi Ai with disgust, then snorted, and finally shut up.
After all, he still felt a little guilty.
As for the two siblings, they both accept black and white.
Xi Yuchuan helped Xi Ai hide something from the old man. Of course, he could also help Chu in order to hide some things from Xi Ai.
He looked at Nian Zhaoyi. The tacit understanding between the two of them for many years was particularly useful. They reached a consensus as soon as their eyes met.
Nian Zhaoyi thought that this must be the first time he saw Chu Yiqi so crazy.
*
I don’t know which Chu Yiqi it was, but on that day, Chu Yiqi rarely got out of the house to play racing.
Under the racing suit, Chu Yiqi still looked thin, but there was a bit of unfamiliar madness inside and out.
Chu Yiqi learned racing from a coach on a program a long time ago, and later went out driving with Xi Ai and a group of good friends.
During that season, the weather changed at any time, and heavy rains broke out.
His fingers tightened on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white.Her vision was a little blurry, and at that moment she saw the white light of a lighthouse far away.
The tip of Chu Yiqi’s tongue swept over a tiger tooth and tasted the smell of blood.
On the dashboard, various data jumped crazily.The rain formed tiny vortices on the rear wing.Chu Yiqi could even feel the moment when the rear wheels were slipping in the water, like walking on a tightrope on the edge of a cliff.
The most dangerous corner of the Silverstone circuit was right in front of him, but Chu Yiqi made an assessment and felt that at his speed and in this weather, the risk was quite high.
After hesitating for a thousandth of a second, Chu Yixi pressed his right foot heavily – but not on the brake, but on the accelerator.
The engine screamed, as if Chu Yiqi had an outlet for everything she couldn’t say, and she suddenly felt a little relaxed.The tachometer needle rushed towards the red zone, the car rushed towards the corner, the rear wing cut through the rain curtain and splashed water.
Chu Yiqi stared straight ahead, as if he was desperate to survive or to try fearlessly, making a series of small and precise adjustments.She felt that the four tires were wandering on the edge of losing their grip, and the whole car seemed to be sliding on ice.
A drift around the corner.
Chu Yiqi stopped at the finish line, but didn’t get off the car for a long time. Her bracelet had been beeping just now, and she didn’t know if the upper limit was triggered to report to Nadia.
She exhaled. In the unknown time of life and death, she had never been so glad that she and Xi Ai had broken up.
But all I could think about was Xi Ai.
Chu Yiqi finally couldn’t resist and lay on the steering wheel, opening his eyes to see tears falling one by one.
Sure enough, Nadia called, but Chu Yiqi didn’t answer it. She was still lying on her stomach. Maybe she was too nervous just now, but now she was afraid after realizing it. She couldn’t even find the strength to pick up the phone.
After waiting for a long time, Chu Yiqi finally felt a little more alive and called Nadia back.
“Oh little cake, are you okay?”
“What’s the new name today?”Chu Yiqi raised his hand and saw that his hand was trembling. He tried to keep his voice steady, “It’s okay, it’s on Heiman’s side.”
Nadia almost couldn’t lift it up in one breath: “Oh, honey…”
“Shall I pick you up?”
Chu Yiqi quickly refused: “I drove the car.”
The staff brought an umbrella, but Chu Yiqi was too lazy to take it. After a bit of rain, the symptoms of trembling hands actually got better. However, Nian Zhaoyi and others soon found out about this matter – because Heiman had Xi Yuchuan and Nadia’s shares, it was inevitable that he would receive special care from the “boss sister’s ex-girlfriend” and “the boss’s best friend”.
But after some discussion, Xi Yuchuan and others reached a consensus to hide Xi Ai’s secret.
*
After finishing the meal, each with its own secrets, Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi left in a hurry – because there was a link later to watch the pilot film of Tuanzhong together.
The living room of the villa was noisy and chaotic.
“Hi, hi, hi, long time no see.”
Chu Yiqi walked behind with the cake: “Isn’t it like three autumns after one day of not seeing each other?”
“That’s two years of absence.”Xi Ai put the snacks on the table and paused for a moment after speaking. She didn’t know whether the words were intentional or unintentional.
Chu Yiqi paused his hand, feeling an unknown tingling sensation on his fingertips. Chu Yiqi glanced at Xi Ai, and then unconsciously opened the ribbon as if nothing happened.
“Wow wow wow, thank you, baby.”
Xi Ai looked at her, Yu Nianxi shut up again, and then changed her words: “Thank you, sister Xi Ai.”
“Okay, thank you.Xi Ai passed the message to Chu Yiqi again, “Did you hear that, sister Yiqi?””
“…I heard it, little friend Xi Ai.”
“Okay, kids, let’s start playing now.”
“Okay Captain.”
The positions of Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi were once again inexplicably vacant due to the grouping and pairing of four people.
Had to sit side by side.
It seems that the team editing was so good that the awkwardness and confusion that Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi felt when they first met became much more normal.
It’s just like a friend who hasn’t seen each other for a long time. There are no words for a while, but the actions can’t stop the intimacy.
The preview film is only 40 minutes long, plus the songs recorded last month.
It is also in line with that saying, people are divided into groups, even if there are two missing people, there will be a lot of quarrels.
Yu Nianxi approached Meng Yike and asked, “What is this?”
“Devastated.”Meng Yike didn’t even raise his head, talking nonsense and making some inexplicable homophonic jokes.
“Huh?”Yu Nianxi was stunned.
Yu Nianxi didn’t need to think too much on her own. Meng Yike helped her complete the sentence, with a normal tone and expression, but the words she said were particularly impactful: “Jiao Ma Goose.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Yu Nianxi found her voice: “Where is Goose Heart?”
“Why are you scolding me?”
“I’m asking you.”
The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely ridiculous for a while.
“…”
“Oh, no heart.”Meng Yike shrugged and continued talking nonsense.
“Meng Yike, I’m really angry.”
Meng Yike smiled and handed a piece of sesame candy to Yu Nianxi, trying to save her: “Okay, honey.”
“Bye baby.”
Nie Chuiying said bitterly: “You guys are so pretentious.”
Then Yunshan covered his mouth during the misfortune, and received a unanimous reply from Meng Yike and Yu Nianxi: “Don’t worry about it.”
Shi Yunshan picked a piece of sushi in time, fed it to Nie Chuiying, and sealed it in time.
The taste of crabmeat and shrimp is smooth.
“Please resolve personal grievances off camera and continue to whitewash peace.”Shi Yunshan acted as a false neutral party, but actually stood completely on Nie Chuiying’s side.
The author has something to say:
In fact, have you noticed that every time Xi Ai and Yi Qi go out, they act like they are leaving their children at home to secretly go out to play, and then bring something back to cover up their guilty conscience?
Then Yunshan and Chuiying are a very independent couple who secretly fall in love.
