Chapter 20 Call in the middle of the night
It was already midnight when Yan Shaochen came out of the basement.

Lu Xiaoran sat on the steps, leaning on the armrest and fell asleep.

Strawberry was lying in front of the door, but still awake.

The sound of the door opening made it stand up quickly, barking at the door, looking very anxious.

Lu Xiaoran was awakened by Strawberry's voice, and hurriedly looked towards the door.

Yan Shaoqiang came out from the inside with a slightly cold expression and drooping eyelids. He touched Strawberry's head to comfort it, and then went straight back to the room.

Lu Xiaoran looked at the back of him leaving, and always felt that it was not quite the same as the previous one after the end.

After Yan Shaoqiang and Strawberry were gone, they went into the basement.

Looking at the scene in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly. After standing for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and called the butler of the villa.

The butler doesn't live in the villa, but he is someone who is well-versed in medicine, able to deal with emergencies, very capable, and who came out of the army that Mr. Yan is looking for.

In name, he is a housekeeper, but actually he doesn't care about Yan Shaoying's basic necessities of life, but mainly manages his mental state and some emergencies.

After finishing the phone call, Lu Xiaoran went upstairs.

knock knock --

"Young Master Yan, I poured you a glass of water. Did I come in?" After saying that, Lu Xiaoran opened the door and went in.

Because of Yan Shaochen's special situation, the door of his room is usually not locked.

The room was pitch black, no lights were turned on, only a gap was left in the curtains.

Lu Xiaoran put the tray in his hand on the bed, opened the curtains slightly through the light that slipped in from outside the house, and saw Yan Shaocheng standing on the balcony, looking at the villa that he didn't know.

Holding a burning cigarette in his hand.

"Young Master Yan."

"I'm fine, you go to sleep." Yan Shaoqiang seemed not afraid of being burned, and directly snuffed out the cigarette butt with his hands, and threw it into the ashtray next to him.

Seeing his movements, Lu Xiaoran's eyebrows twitched.

"Then, I'll go to bed first, and you can call me if you need anything."

"Ah."

When Lu Xiaoran left, Yan Shaochen sat on a chair on the balcony, bent down and took off the chain on his feet.

The chain is simple and unadorned.

A piece of obsidian the size of a coin was hung on a rope whose original color could no longer be seen.

The light of the moon fell on it, shimmering.

After watching for a long time, Yan Shaoqiang put the chain back on his feet again.

went into the house.

Lying on the bed, when I took out my cell phone, I found that the cell phone had already run out of battery.

After charging it, Yan Shaochen played with the phone, but he didn't turn on the recording like he did last night.

Instead, he turned on the dial keypad, pressed eleven numbers skillfully with his fingers, and looked at them quietly, but he never dialed them.

Glancing at the time on my phone: 2:23.

Rubbing between his brows, he tossed his phone aside a little annoyed, and opened his eyes to look at the dark roof.

It's just that when he threw it casually, his thumb just touched the dial button.

"Hello?" A sleepy voice came from the phone's speaker.

In the silent night, the originally subtle voice was amplified.

Yan Shaoqiang picked up the phone and saw that the call had been connected.

Perhaps it was because the sleep was disturbed in the middle of the night, and there was a hint of impatience in that voice.

"I'll hang up if you don't speak."

"Si Jinyan." Yan Shaoqiang suddenly said.

Lying on the bed, Si Jinyan who got up a little angry heard a familiar voice, subconsciously looked at the time on the phone, and his sleepy face became more awake.

"Yan Shaochen?"

"Ah."

"Is something wrong?"

Yan Shaochen paused for a while before saying, "Yes."

Si Jinyan waited quietly, waiting for him to say something.

What is so important that you must talk about it at this time?Murder or arson, or about to have a baby?

But Yan Shaocheng lost his voice as if he had suddenly become mute.

"Don't say I'm dead." People who are woken up for no reason will be unhappy no matter how good-tempered they are.

"Don't hang up."

"Okay." After speaking, he really didn't hang up the phone, but he threw the phone aside and continued to sleep.

In a trance, Yan Shaochen could hear Si Jinyan's breathing that quickly calmed down through the receiver. For some reason, he was feeling a little manic before, but now he calmed down slowly.

Putting the phone on his cheek, he also lay down.

There was a pure smile on the corner of his lips, and with the sound of breathing, he slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, when Si Jinyan got up, he found that the phone hadn't been hung up.

Due to a night of calls, the battery of the mobile phone is running out.

Find the charger and come out, plug in the phone.

For some reason, Si Jinyan didn't hang up the phone because the battery was dead, but kept it on the phone.

Until she came back from morning exercise.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have woken up, and a slight movement could be heard inside.

"Young Master Yan."

Lu Xiaoran's voice.

Si Jinyan cut off the phone, packed his things and went downstairs.

When he walked to the restaurant, Si Jinxi already had delicate makeup on his face, and sat down at the dining table with proper etiquette.

Mrs. Si and Mrs. Si are also there.

It seemed to be waiting for her alone.

"Grandma, my sister is here, let's have dinner." Si Jinxi waited for Si Jinyan to sit down, and smiled sweetly.

Mrs. Si next to her snorted coldly, "Let the elders wait for you. It seems that you have learned the rules in the past two years. It's not bad." The tone was specially emphasized, and anyone could tell that it was mocking.

Si Jinyan didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the words, and nodded with a light smile, "Thank you Madam for your compliment."

Mrs. Si choked.

Only then did she realize that the illegitimate daughter brought back from outside was not quite the same as before.

Not looks, but character.

If she had said those words in the past, she would have been angrily contradicting her long ago, so how could she be like this now, understatement as if she couldn't understand what she said.

He frowned and stared at Si Jinyan, trying to see something on her face, but to no avail.

After eating, Mrs. Si was helping Si Jinxi, who was going to school, tidy up his clothes, while Si Jinyan next to him pushed his bicycle out.

was passing by them.

"There are many top students in a class. Remember to ask others humbly for advice after you go. Those who are close to the vermilion are red, and those who are close to the black are black. Only by spending more time with excellent people can you make yourself better; and those who do not do their jobs all day long, People who have poor grades and don't work hard, stay with them for a long time, maybe they will become like them in the end, and they will achieve nothing when they leave the society, and they will become moths of society. You must always remember that you are like them no the same."

Mrs. Si's words were ambiguous, and she deliberately said them to Si Jinyan who was passing by.

It's just that after she finished speaking, she was a little surprised that she didn't hear the previous cynicism.

When I looked sideways, I saw that Si Jinyan had long since disappeared from the yard.

And Si Jinxi was sending a message to someone at this time, her face was slightly solemn, and she didn't notice what her mother said at all.

Perfunctory to deal with.

"Xiaoxi, are you okay? Why do you look a little bad?"

"I'm fine. Mom, I'm off to school."

After Si Jinxi got into the car, he held his cell phone with a cruel expression on his face.

The driver of the car glanced at him inadvertently, his heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly collected his mind and drove hard, not daring to look at Si Jinxi again.
