Lin Suici's footsteps stopped, and a look of surprise appeared on his pale face for a moment. He never expected Jiang Jingyan to appear here.
He stared at Jiang Jingyan in a daze, holding the handrail of the stairs tightly, with clear blue veins appearing on the back of his fair hand.
In the next second, Jiang Jingyan quickly walked up to Lin Suici and asked, "Suici, how are you doing?"
He put his hands on Lin Suici's thin shoulders, his handsome brows were filled with concern, and he looked up and down at the person in front of him.
Lin Suici's face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he had lost a lot of weight. His body was so thin that it seemed as if it was swaying with the wind.
Jiang Jingyan had seen Lin Suici's appearance in the surveillance video before, but seeing it with his own eyes, his heart couldn't help but twitch.
Moreover, the main culprit behind all this is Jiang Le, his beloved younger brother.
Jiang Jingyan's mood was complicated, he felt both distressed and guilty.
"Suici, I've been looking for you all this time, and you are staying here... Did Pei Chuan bully you?"
"Why don't you speak?"
"He has aphasia."
An indifferent voice sounded in Jiang Jingyan's ears, and Pei Chuan walked down the stairs unhurriedly, his eyes swept over Lin Suici, and then stayed on Jiang Jingyan. With a hint of coldness in his flat tone, he said: "Mr. Jiang, you are breaking into my house."
Jiang Jingyan was still puzzled by the word "aphasia", and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Suici looking at Pei Chuan with a faint emotion similar to panic in his eyes.
"Brother, I brought him in."
Pei Yu, who watched the whole scene, raised his hand to speak, then tactfully stepped aside while hugging Lucky, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys continue."
He stroked the chin of the puppy in his arms, and his fox eyes covered under the lens flashed brightly.
Tsk... Another good show to watch.
It is still a VIP seat for eating melons in the front row.
Pei Yu ignored his brother's unfriendly glance.
"Suici, did Pei Chuan do something to you?"
Jiang Jingyan frowned, and wondered why Lin Suici felt flustered when he saw Pei Chuan? If Pei Chuan didn't do something, then why would he feel uneasy and afraid?
However, Lin Suici just shook his head silently.
Pei Chuan treated him very well, no matter what his purpose was, Pei Chuan hasn't harmed him until now.
He just hasn't recovered yet, because of the scene he saw just now, he subconsciously felt a little uneasy when he saw the man's figure.
Jiang Jingyan didn't quite believe it, "Don't be afraid, just tell me."
Pei Chuan frowned invisibly, and his sharp gaze fell on Jiang Jingyan, "Mr. Jiang, please leave."
There is an undeniable sense of oppression in his cold voice.
"I already said that he doesn't want to see you."
Jiang Jingyan clenched his fists secretly, and said in a cold and unyielding tone: "Of course I will leave, but I will take my brother with me."
After speaking, he turned his attention to Lin Suici who had been silent all this time, "Suici, I know you have been wronged, I know what Jiang Le did, I will explain everything to my parents, and ask him to personally apologize to you."
"Can you come back with me?"
His tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of genuine concern.
Lin Suici suddenly turned his head to avoid Jiang Jingyan's gaze. His heart was sore and astringent, he didn't know whether it was because of Jiang Jingyan's "brother" or what he said later.
As expected, it was Jiang Le who was responsible for everything.
In the end, he was too naive and stupid to believe Jiang Le's words, and ended up like this.
Lin Suici clenched his fists involuntarily, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his long and thick eyelashes blocked the surging emotions in his eyes.
Do you want to go back with Jiang Jingyan? Back to that so-called home?
"He can't go back with you."
Pei Chuan stepped forward, grabbed Lin Suici's wrist, and pulled him to his side.
Lin Suici kept his head down and did not resist.
Jiang Jingyan glanced at Pei Chuan holding Lin Suici's wrist, and frowned, "You can't make decisions for him."
"Suici, this is not your home, I don't feel at ease letting you stay here, come back with me." Jiang Jingyan's voice softened, and he coaxed him like a child: "Listen to elder brother, come over quickly."
Elder brother......
Lin Suici's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he repeated these two words in his heart.
Jiang Jingyan is his elder brother, his own brother.
After that incident happened, he no longer had any expectations from the Jiang family. Jiang Le and those people are a happy family, and he is an outsider, even though he is the real Jiang Le.
But Lin Suici still longed for family affection in his heart. Jiang Jingyan's words were like a drop of spring water, sprinkled on his barren heart, nourishing the dry land.
Pei Chuan's gaze remained fixed on the person next to him, as if sensing Lin Suici's wavering. He let go of his hands, put his hands on the young man's shoulders, and looked down at the other's pale face.
"Lin Suici, you will not be happy in Jiang family."
"I said, if you want, this is your home, and you can treat me as your brother."
The man's voice was always calm, neither urgent nor slow, it passed through the eardrum into Lin Suici's ears, flowing into his heart along with the blood.
He couldn't help raising his eyelids to look over, and met those deep eyes, which were no longer as fierce as before, and there was warmth in these cold and calm eyes.
Jiang Jingyan on the opposite side wrinkled his eyebrows tightly, what brother does he want to be? I am afraid he wants be another kind of "good brother".
The words are nice, but his intentions are still not clear.
Jiang Jingyan stepped forward, grabbed Lin Suici's wrist, pulled him over, and quickly walked downstairs, "Come back with me."
Lin Suici had a complex expression on his pale face, he didn't resist, and let Jiang Jingyan lead him outside.
He couldn't help but look back.
The man stood there, watching him silently.
Pei Chuan's expression was very calm, with no signs of joy or anger, but Lin Suici saw an emotion similar to loss in his eyes.
Just at that time when he avoided Pei Chuan's hand as he wanted to wipe the cream on the corner of his mouth, he also saw the same emotion in Pei Chuan's eyes.
Lin Suici's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat, he stared blankly at Pei Chuan's direction, and forgot to turn his head.
But soon, Jiang Jingyan led him outside.
Pei Chuan also disappeared from his sight.
Perhaps it's an illusion.
Seeing the thin figure disappear outside the door, Pei Chuan paused for a moment before looking away.
"Brother, why don't you go after him, are you just going to let him go?"
Pei Yu, who had enjoyed eating melons all this time, walked over with Lucky in his arms, and stared at Pei Chuan's iceberg face that was getting colder and colder.
"Heartbroken?"
"Cry, it's okay, I won't laugh at you."
"It's not a sin for a man to cry."
"..." The veins on Pei Chuan's forehead twitched slightly, and he uttered a word loudly: "Get lost."
Pei Yu bowed deeply to him, then turned and walked outside.
Pei Chuan yelled to stop him, "You can go, the dog will stay."
Okay, he's not even as good as a dog. Pei Yu silently wiped a handful of bitter tears in his heart and stuffed Lucky into his brother's arms.
Then he patted his brother on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Think about what I said."
After he finished speaking, Pei Yu quickly ran away with oil on his feet, for fear that Pei Chuan would rush over and beat him up.
As he was about to leave, he turned back and let out a worried sigh, deliberately raising his tone while speaking.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought that Jiang Jingyan in just now, letting him abduct my future sister-in-law."
"Hey, I don't know how my little sister-in-law will be bullied by that little green tea Jiang Le when he returns to the Jiang family."
He glanced at Pei Chuan's face, hooked his lips with interest, and really left this time.
The villa was quiet again, as in the past, only the puppy in his arms was barking coquettishly, trying to attract the owner's attention.
Pei Chuan raised his hand and touched its head, no joy or anger could be seen on his expressionless face.
He was not surprised that Lin Suici left with Jiang Jingyan.
The child was already a little afraid of him, and he also accidentally saw that scene just now. It is normal for him to be afraid.
He was not a good person in the first place.
Pei Chuan gently pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.
But in an instant, he restrained his emotions.
He will not let Lin Suici return to the Jiang family to be wronged.
On the other hand, a low-key and luxurious car passed through the high-end and quiet villa area, and then merge into the traffic on the road.
Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Lin Suici turned his head to look at the villa area gradually disappearing from his view outside the car window, and did not turn around for a long time.
Jiang Jingyan sat in the driver's seat and drove, and looked at the person beside him from time to time from the corner of his eyes, with lingering concern between his eyebrows.
A few minutes later, he stopped the car at a traffic light.
"Suici, if you are tired, you can rest for a while."
"Or are you hungry? I'll take you out to eat."
He stared closely at Lin Suici, and waited for a few seconds before the other party turned around and silently shook his head at him.
The young man's face became paler, his eyelids drooped wearily, his expression was listless, and his movements were somewhat slow.
It's like... a rusty old machine, so fragile that it seems to break with a single blow.
Jiang Jingyan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel when he suddenly thought of the unfamiliar word Pei Chuan had just mentioned ——aphasia.
Aphasia, literally means not speaking.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Jiang Le to do such a thing, if I could come back earlier...."
The green light lit up, and Jiang Jingyan restrained his thoughts and continue to drive ahead.
Lin Suici continued to tilt his head and gaze at the view outside the car window, which was constantly regressing. His hands on his knees were tightly clasped together, and his palms were covered with sweat.
He plunged into a feeling of deep guilt and self blame, he should not have left with Jiang Jingyan. He regretted it from the time he got into the car.
The figure of Pei Chuan kept floating in his mind, the way Pei Chuan looked at him, and what he said to him just now.
