226 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (37)

Xue Xue had known that Chi Yu and Xue Dehui had known each other for a long time, otherwise there would not have been the scene in Xue Li’s memory of a man wearing a white suit entering the office.

She was surprised that Chi Yu and Xue Dehui met earlier than she thought.

Two years ago…

“I found out later that he was your boyfriend.” Xue Dehui tapped the thin white cigarette body with his fingertips, and sparks fell to the ground together with ashes.

Xue Xue didn’t know how late Xue Dehui mentioned it was, but except for this time, the two people’s usual interactions were really limited. In official matters, it was a state of king not seeing the king, let alone in private matters.

“That’s why you came to remind me that Chi Yu is not innocent?”

Xue Dehui gave a noncommittal “hmm”.

Xue Xue found that he could not figure out the man in front of him.

Chi Yu has secrets and a capricious personality. You don’t know when he will step on that warning line and what the consequences will be. But most of the time, Chi Yu can still use common sense to judge, and there are traces of what he does and thinks.

Xue Xue knew that this was partly due to Xue Li’s memory and the daily interactions between lovers. However, when facing Chi Yu, she could still cope with it easily. Not to say she had the upper hand, at least she was in an equal and interactive relationship with him.

But Xue Dehui is different.

When the other party’s attitude and performance seriously deviated from what he remembered, Xue Xue only felt irritated.

But the top priority is not Xue Dehui’s attitude. She always has time to sort out these things slowly.

“Then what?”

“…What then?”

“You told me that Xue Zhen introduced Chi Yu to you very early, and said that Chi Yu was not innocent. I know this now, and then what?” Xue Xue felt a chill creeping into his collar, and couldn’t help but wrap his shawl tighter.”What do you mean? Chi Yu has an ulterior motive for approaching me? Is it to show off? Even if that’s the case, we haven’t been dating for more than a day or two. He has so many opportunities, why is he still standing still?”

A barrage of questions popped up.

Xue Xue deliberately hit Xue Dehui by surprise so that he could reveal more information.

She was really tired of this kind of casual conversation, like pulling out a ball of wool, getting messier and more annoying.

Thinking of this, she stood up straight and looked up at Xue Dehui slightly with a somewhat arrogant attitude.

Xue Zhen’s height is considered average among men, but after adding Gao Yinyin’s model genes, Xue Dehui is at least 1.85 to 1.9 meters tall by visual inspection. In addition, the man is diligent in exercising, and his figure looks tall and straight, like a pine and cypress standing in the dark.

Xue Xue didn’t want to lose the opponent’s momentum.

“If you have nothing else to say, I guess…”

“Actually, my dad doesn’t know one thing.”

Just when Xue Xue decided to end the conversation, Xue Dehui interrupted her.

Xue Xue’s slender eyebrows covered with glitter slowly wrinkled and she made several pleats.

“What?”

“I’ve met Chi Yu a long time ago.” Xue Dehui said as he stamped out his cigarette with his pointed shoes.”I can’t remember the exact time, but I’m pretty sure that the person I met was Chi Yu.”

“Do you know where I saw him?”

The deep baritone voice was magnetic and steady, but for no apparent reason, Xue Xue heard something wrong in it.

Her intuition made her tremble all over, not from fear, but… her heart suddenly contracted, throbbing painfully.

Especially after listening to Xue Dehui’s self-questions and answers.

“Mental hospital.”

“I saw him in a private mental hospital.”

Gao Yinyin has a younger brother who suffers from mental illness. Although Gao Yinyin intervenes in the man’s marriage as a third party, she can be said to be devoted to her family, especially her brother who has been dependent on her for a long time after his parents passed away one after another.

The eldest sister is like a mother. Gao Yinyin once worked multiple jobs just to support her only remaining relatives.

And since she and Xue Zhen reunited by chance and gave birth to Xue Dehui to Xue Zhen, the man could be said to be extremely generous to her in terms of money, which allowed Gao Yinyin to be able to send her brother to a top private mental hospital with the most advanced equipment and complete facilities in the country for recuperation.

Gao Yinyin regularly visits her younger brother once a month to talk to him and take him for a walk. Although her younger brother no longer recognizes people, Gao Yinyin can get great comfort from occasionally calling her sister into the air.

Xue Dehui met Chi Yu when he and Gao Yinyin went to visit his uncle.

A person will meet many people in his life, people they meet, people he passes by, people he catches a glimpse of… The reason why Xue Dehui left an impression on a man he only met once was because of Chi Yu’s outstanding face.

At that time, Chi Yu was only a teenager, with a more androgynous temperament than in adulthood. His complexion was very pale, so pale that his eyes were as black as thick ink, and his red lips looked like rouge. Chi Yu’s whole body was like a piece of white and soft feathers, which seemed to be blown away as long as the wind was a little stronger.

But Xue Dehui soon knew that everything was just an illusion.

When Chi Yu glanced at him lightly, Xue Dehui still clearly remembered the strange feeling of cold, numbness and pain as if his entire back had been scratched by an ice pick.

Chi Yu’s eyes were lifeless.

Like an old man who is about to die, he puts on a young and beautiful coat, but he can’t hide the essence of decay.

Because the impression was so profound, the moment he opened the door and saw Chi Yu, memories of the other party immediately emerged in his mind.

The moment Xue Dehui met Chi Yu’s eyes, he trembled.

He considered himself bold, but this boldness was quickly crushed bit by bit when he looked at the man.

Chi Yu stared at Xue Dehui like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Even though the air conditioner in the room was only 20 degrees, Xue Dehui had the illusion that he was being baked under the scorching sun.

“This is the eldest son I told you about, Xue Dehui.”

It wasn’t until Xue Zhen’s voice broke the calm that he was rescued from the all-too-real illusion.

Xue Zhen licked his face, not showing off his usual aloof and unflappable attitude in front of others.

“Why don’t you come over and say hello to Mr. Chi!”

The last sentence was turned around and shouted at Xue Dehui.

Xue Dehui didn’t want to move, but under his father’s overeager eyes, he slowly dragged his feet and stood in front of Chi Yu.

Chi Yu looked him up and down, as if evaluating goods, full of calculation and playfulness, as well as a hint of indifference of disgust.

“Hello.” After a long time, when Xue Dehui thought that the other party would not make any move, Chi Yu slowly stretched out his hand under Xue Zhen’s nervous, expectant and excited eyes.”My name is Chi Yu.”
