Chapter 127 The Cat Returns 11
Is it raining red blood from the sky?
The servants in the Yi family had been with the family for several years, and some had been with them for more than ten years. They knew very well how much the eldest young master disliked the second young master.
Every time the eldest young master sees the second young master, he always expresses his dissatisfaction with the second young master in various ways, either by speaking with barbs or by deliberately ignoring the second young master's presence.
But now, as the two of them gathered around a cat, the disgust they once showed was gone, replaced by a sense of ease and joy.
Yi Changfan was teasing Shen Chumo with a small pom-pom, his eyes sparkling with innocent joy, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness between him and Yi Zeyu.
Yi Zeyu stood to the side, arms crossed, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes following Shen Chumo's every move, occasionally chuckling softly at Shen Chumo's adorable antics.
The servants watched furtively from the side, whispering amongst themselves.
"As expected, no matter how stubborn you are, you can't escape the palm of a cute creature."
"My Momo is so amazing! Waaah, I want to play with Momo too."
"You know what, looking at them like this, the eldest young master and the second young master do look quite like brothers."
After playing for a while, Shen Chumo got a little tired, so she lay down on the ground and refused to move.
Its tiny body lay on the ground like a soft ball of fur, its eyes half-open and half-closed, and its little tongue would occasionally stick out to lick its paws, looking lazy and cute.
Yi Changfan gently picked up Shen Chumo and said, "Momo is tired. Let's go back to our room and sleep."
Yi Zeyu clicked his tongue twice and pouted, "He slept for so long this afternoon, and then got tired again after playing for only a little while. He can eat and sleep so much, he should just change his name to Little Pig Mo."
Yi Changfan covered Shen Chumo's ears and looked at Yi Zeyu disapprovingly.
"MoMo will be unhappy if she hears these things."
Yi Changfan could sense that Mo Mo could understand human speech.
Yi Zeyu gave Yi Changfan a thumbs up, "I've seen what a spoiled parent is all about today. Just keep spoiling her. I wouldn't be surprised if she pooped on your head one day."
Yi Zeyu raised his eyebrows, his face still bearing that ambiguous smile.
Shen Chumo opened her eyes wide, rolled over, and meowed twice at Yi Zeyu in displeasure.
"Am I the kind of cat that doesn't care about hygiene?!"
Yi Zeyu pointed at Shen Chumo with amusement, "Look at you, you get angry after just a few words."
Yi Changfan said helplessly, "Yi Zeyu, why are you arguing with a cat? Besides, I'm not usually home, so haven't you been spoiling Momo all the time?"
Mo Mo is smart, but she has a very close relationship with Yi Zeyu. It must be because Yi Zeyu treats Mo Mo very well that Mo Mo is close to him.
Actually, Yi Changfan was wrong. Shen Chumo only went to see Yi Zeyu every day for his sake, and of course, it was also for the delicious snacks.
When Yi Changfan exposed him on the spot, Yi Zeyu's cheeks flushed slightly, adding a touch of shyness to his originally cold and stern face.
He cleared his throat twice and denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about." There was a hint of unnaturalness in his voice.
Seeing Yi Zeyu's reaction, Yi Changfan became even more certain of his thoughts.
He held Shen Chumo in his arms, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Yi Zeyu, you don't need to deny it, I know everything."
This was the first time Yi Zeyu had ever shown him kindness in his life, even though it was for his cat. Yi Changfan was still very grateful to Yi Zeyu.
Shen Chumo looked at Yi Changfan helplessly and sighed. This man was really too gentle. As long as someone was nice to him, he would repay them tenfold.
Even though Yi Zeyu bullied him since childhood, Yi Changfan never seemed to truly resent him. He's a truly amazing person.
When Yi Changfan was five years old, his biological mother took him by the hand and brought him to the Yi family home. Yi Zeyu and his family of three were having lunch at the time.
Upon learning Yi Changfan's identity, Madam Yi was so angry that she slapped Yi Hong twice on the spot, then immediately packed her things and took Yi Zeyu back to her parents' home.
Having lost face, Yi Hong looked down at Yi Changfan and his mother with cold disdain in his eyes, as if scrutinizing two lowly creatures.
When she learned that Yi Changfan's mother had come to ask for money, all that remained in her eyes was disgust.
Yi Changfan's mother took the money and left without hesitation. Her actions were swift and direct, without the slightest trace of lingering affection.
She turned around hastily, her steps hurried, without even glancing back at Yi Changfan, leaving him standing alone in the Yi family's living room.
Yi Changfan stood there, his eyes filled with disappointment and helplessness.
He watched his mother's departing figure, his lips trembling slightly, yet he didn't know what to say. The gazes cast by the servants around him were filled with sympathy, pity, and disdain, which made him feel even more ashamed.
He knew he and his mother were bad people, people who broke up other people's families, and that he was an unpopular person.
Madam Yi did not divorce Yi Hong because of the family business, but the two completely broke off relations and started living separate lives. They each had their own families, while Yi Zeyu lived alone in the Yi family home.
At first, the two would often come back to visit Yi Zeyu out of guilt. But as time went on and Yi Zeyu grew up, the two seemed to be running away from something and gradually came to the house less often.
And so Yi Zeyu became a child without a home, which is why Yi Changfan has always felt indebted to Yi Zeyu.
Yi Changfan never considered himself a part of the Yi family's possessions; in his mind, he was merely an outsider living under someone else's roof.
The fact that the Yi family was able to support him, provide him with lodging, and pay for his schooling was already an immense favor to him.
In Yi Changfan's eyes, the bullying Yi Zeyu had given him since childhood was nothing.
Those minor frictions and unpleasantnesses are like little episodes in life.
In high school, Zhou Mengqi was bullied by Yi Zeyu, and that was the first time he got angry with Yi Zeyu.
It was because he knew that Zhou Mengqi was implicated because of him. Zhou Mengqi had done nothing wrong and should not have to suffer these things, especially since Zhou Mengqi was his first true friend.
After that, Yi Zeyu stopped making things difficult for Zhou Mengqi, and the two of them actually got together. This was Zhou Mengqi's own choice, and Yi Changfan had no right to say anything; he could only offer his blessings.
Later, Zhou Mengqi and Yi Zeyu often quarreled, and their relationship seemed to be not good. Yi Changfan would also wonder if it was because of him that he was constantly caught in internal strife.
...
The moonlight was hazy, its silvery rays shining on the ground, and the scent of grass filled the air.
Yi Changfan nestled in the blankets, his thick eyelashes clearly defined, casting faint shadows beneath his fair eyelids.
Her skin was as white as jade, like a precious piece of glass, exuding a fragile beauty that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Shen Chumo lay beside his pillow, her small body curled up like a fluffy little ball. She looked at Yi Changfan's profile and fell into deep thought.
