Because he had to watch the year, Yan Qiu stayed up until the early hours of the night before going to bed. Although he was very sleepy, he didn't sleep very well. As soon as he closed his eyes, Li Zhi's lonely expression when he was telling the past appeared uncontrollably in his mind.

Probably because they have similar experiences, Yan Qiu can empathize very much. He knows that although Li Zhi looks indestructible and doesn't care about anything, he actually values family affection very much.

It's just that his parents who loved him have passed away long ago, and his grandfather has a grudge against him because of the past.

They didn't know how to get over that hurdle, so they could only pretend not to care.

But in fact, Yan Qiu can feel the care they show for each other unintentionally on weekdays. After all, no matter what kind of barrier there is in the middle, the blood has always connected them together.

Yan Qiu knew that it wasn't that they didn't have feelings, but that both of them had too stubborn personalities, and both were used to keeping everything in their hearts. No one knew how to take this step first?

So Yan Qiu thought, could he help them?

After all, Li Zhi's relationship with his master is different from his relationship with the Fu family.

They are real relatives, and besides, the master is getting old, Yan Qiu does not hope that one day, they will leave irreparable regrets.

So early the next morning, he fought back his sleepiness and got up, and called Master to wish him New Year greetings.

Mr. Li answered very quickly, but he coughed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Master, are you alright?" Yan Qiu asked quickly after hearing this.

"It's okay." Old Master Li seemed to slow down for a moment before continuing.

"Master, Happy New Year! Li Zhi and I want to go and wish you a New Year..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Mr. Li, "Don't come back!"

Yan Qiu was choked all of a sudden.

Mr. Li also seemed to realize that his tone was too serious, so he slowed down his tone, "I'm not at home."

"Then when will you go back?" Yan Qiu still asked a little bit unwillingly.

Old Man Li didn't answer directly, but said suddenly: "You don't need to come back, just you and Li Zhi can get along well."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Yan Qiu looked down at the phone that had returned to the address book interface, feeling a little dazed.

really……

There is a long way to go to repair the relationship between the two of them.

But he didn't think much about it, he got up and started preparing breakfast.

As soon as it was done, Li Zhi woke up.

Seeing that he had finished cooking, Li Zhi came over to serve him a plate.

In fact, there are many servants at home, but Yan Qiu still likes to cook by himself.

After leaving this courtyard, Li Zhi is the head of the Li family and the company's president Li, but in this small courtyard, he is just Li Zhi.

This small courtyard gave him a sense of security as an ordinary couple.

Li Zhi understood how he felt, so he never asked him to move elsewhere, but lived in with him.

Yan Qiu can decorate the yard with his own hands and cook by himself.

Li Zhi gave him the complete right to use it.

The two were sitting in the living room eating, and the sound of firecrackers outside started to blare one after another early in the morning, but Yan Qiu didn't find it annoying. On the contrary, he liked the fireworks in the world very much.

Li Zhi peeled the egg and handed it to him, Yan Qiu took it, but Li Zhi suddenly looked at him intently, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Hearing this, Yan Qiu subconsciously raised his hand to touch his eyes, not sure if he had dark circles under his eyes, "Maybe...he slept a little late."

"Did the things I told you yesterday bother you?" Li Zhi asked.

Yan Qiu shook his head, "No, I'm just..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qiu paused for a moment, then continued tentatively: "I'm thinking about when to pay New Year's greetings to Master."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes darkened for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he just replied cooperatively: "You can go anytime you want, I'll let Linye pick you up."

"Then do you want to go with me?" Yan Qiu asked expectantly.

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking of something, then shook his head.

"Every year on this day, my grandfather usually lives in the ancestral hall. When the whole family is happy, seeing me will only make him sad."

"But..." Looking at his expression, Yan Qiu also felt a little sad. He wanted to say that it was obviously not your fault, so why did he blame you?

But there are too many things in this world that can't be explained why, like why the Fu family loves Fu Shuangchi more even though he is his own?

It was all an inexplicable bad debt, so Yan Qiu swallowed the words before he finished speaking, and then changed the topic.

"Actually, I called Master in the morning, and he said he was not at home, and he didn't know where he went? I still heard him..."

When Yan Qiu said this, he suddenly stopped as if he realized something.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhi looked at his reaction and asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel something is wrong." Yan Qiu said, put down the egg in his hand, and his face became a little more dignified.

"I heard Master coughing last time, and I heard it again just now. He also said that he is not at home, but where can he be if he is not at home during the Chinese New Year?"

Li Zhi also became serious when he heard the words, "He has lived in seclusion these years, except to go to the antique market and Shen Guxuan, he usually doesn't go out easily, but today's Chinese New Year, the antique market and Shen Guxuan are also closed."

When Yan Qiu heard this, a bad thought flashed in his mind, "Could Master be sick?"

Because of this guess, they instantly lost the mood to eat.

So Li Zhi took out his mobile phone and called Linye.

When the two left the autumn garden, they saw the familiar Maybach waiting at the door.

As soon as they got into the car, Lin Ye asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

Li Zhi paused for a moment, then said: "Go back to the ancestral house."

Lin Ye seemed a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and immediately started the car.

Li Zhi didn't say a word along the way, but just looked out the window silently.

Yan Qiu knew that although he didn't say anything, the anxiety in his heart must be no less than his own. After all, in terms of blood, Mr. Li was the only remaining relative in this world.

The war between relatives can never tell the winner or loser, whether it is victory or defeat, it is the result of both sides being hurt.

Yan Qiu knew that all the consolation would be superfluous at this time, so he just stretched out his fingers and gently held him.

Li Zhi didn't turn his head, but held him back a little bit, very hard.

It's like the person who always loves to be brave finally let go of his defenses, and then grabbed his last straw to save his life.

Li Zhi grabbed him.

The two rushed back to the ancestral home.

There is only a new pair of Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door of the ancestral house, but even such a bright red color can't bring out the slightest joy in this lonely and deep house.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, someone came to open the door.

Li Zhi stopped at the door, did not go in, but asked the person who opened the door: "Where is Grandpa?"

The servant seemed a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and lowered his head erratically, "The old man is not here."

"Where did he go?" Li Zhi continued to ask.

The servant fell silent when he heard the words, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

"Say!" Li Zhi yelled suddenly, rarely losing his composure.

The servant was even more embarrassed, and lowered his head, "The old man won't tell you."

When Li Zhi heard this, the unfinished words stuck in his throat instantly.

The fingers hanging on the side of the leg slowly tightened, as if trying to grab something.

But in the end, couldn't catch anything, so could only loosen it weakly, and then hung down again.

Seeing this, Yan Qiu suddenly asked, "Are you in the hospital?"

The servant looked up at him in surprise.

Looking at the servant's expression, Yan Qiu knew that he had guessed right, so he quickly asked, "Which hospital are you in?"

Now that they have guessed it, there is no point in keeping it a secret.

After all, there are not many hospitals under the Li family, so they can be found out after calling and asking one by one.

"Yuan Kang..."

As soon as the servant said two words, Li Zhi came to his senses, took Yan Qiu's hand and returned to the car.

"Yuan Kang." Li Zhi said to Lin Ye.

When Linye heard about the hospital, he knew that something must have happened, so he drove very fast all the way and arrived at the hospital in a short while.

Everyone in the hospital knew Li Zhi, so he traveled smoothly all the way.

Soon he found the ward where Mr. Li lived.

He was in a hurry all the way, but the moment he stepped out of the elevator, he suddenly slowed down.

The two walked to the door of Mr. Li's exclusive ward, but Li Zhi suddenly let go of Yan Qiu's hand and said to him, "Go in, I'll wait for you outside."

"Li Zhi..." Yan Qiu wanted to persuade him to go in together, after all, he had already reached the door.

Li Zhi understood what he meant, but still shook his head stubbornly, turned and walked into the rest area next to him.

Yan Qiu sighed, knowing that unraveling the knot between their father and grandson would not happen overnight.

You can only go in first.

As soon as he approached, he heard a low-pitched cough coming from inside.

So he knocked on the door quickly.

However, as soon as it rang, the cough sound inside was suppressed and stopped abruptly.

Then, an old and familiar voice came, "Come in."

Yan Qiu opened the door and walked in, and then saw Mr. Li half-sitting and leaning on the pillow, holding a silk handkerchief embroidered with eustoma in his hand.Cough a few times.

"Master." Yan Qiu walked over, wondering if it was because of his sickness, Mr. Li looked older and thinner than the last time we met.

On the old neck, blue veins stood up.

When Mr. Li saw him, he sighed, "Didn't you not be allowed to come? It's unlucky to come to the hospital on the first day of the new year."

Yan Qiu didn't expect that this was the reason for the master's rejection just now, and he was sad and funny for a moment, "But these are not as important as your body."

"I'm fine." Mr. Li said.

Yan Qiu naturally didn't believe it, after all, how could he stay in the hospital if he had nothing to do, so he insisted on asking, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Li seemed to be shying away from this matter, he clenched the square handkerchief in his hand, and said calmly, "It's just a cold."

"But you don't look like you just caught a cold." Yan Qiu looked at him with distressed eyes.

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

Mr. Li seemed to have made up his mind, avoided his gaze, and insisted on refusing to say anything.

Seeing this, Yan Qiu stood up, "Then I'll ask the doctor."

With that said, he walked out.

However, before he walked a few steps, he heard the helpless voice of Mr. Li, "Xiaoqiu, stop."

Yan Qiu stopped and turned to look at him.

Then I saw him looking at himself, as if he wanted to struggle again, "It's really not a big problem."

"Master..." Yan Qiu called out.

Old Man Li raised his head, but he didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Is Li Zhi here too?"

Although it is an interrogative sentence, the tone is very certain.

Yan Qiu nodded.

Then I heard old man Li sigh insignificantly, and said to him: "Let him come in too."
