one

In the fairy tale, there is a boy named Pinocchio who loves to lie; every time he tells a lie, his nose grows longer

But she will not

It turns out that not every lying child will have a long nose

- Chi Hikoze

Chi Yanzhe did not respond, but his footsteps grew increasingly rapid

By the way, each of you wants me to unravel the young master's emotional knot. What exactly is this emotional knot? Why is it necessary for me to impersonate Yao Haixu in order to resolve his emotional knot?

Never mind, although I have not finished my bread and my backpack is quite heavy, I will still give him my seat

Therefore, Chi Xinjian summoned his subordinates and brought along a photograph of Yao Haixu taken when she was four years old, instructing everyone to find a way to locate her at all costs. Even if she could not be found, they were to uncover evidence of her death.

However, disregarding his reaction, I tightened my grip even more: "Alright, alright, I know you like me. Xiaozhe is just too cute, hahaha..."

I initially thought that as long as I could get the money, that would be enough. However, after interacting with Chi Yanze, I suddenly began to understand the reasons behind all of this

Before I could react, I was already pushed aside by the extremely excited Chi Yanze. While he was busy pushing me away, he lost his balance and fell towards me.

I sighed, a young master is indeed a young master, the bus stop is right next to us, yet he insists on taking a taxi

After the accident, Chi Xinjian also sent someone to look for Yao Haixu, but was unable to find him. That night, a heavy rain fell, triggering a local mudslide, leading everyone to believe that Yao Haixu may have unfortunately met with an accident that evening

I just didn't dare to tell her that I did something particularly great yesterday, which was to kiss the young master of her family, and not just once.

Why are you staring at me? It makes me feel quite uneasy

I was just about to say something about him when the car suddenly slammed to a stop. Caught off guard, Chi Yanze lost his balance and was about to fall towards me. I don't even know what came over me; I suddenly reached out and wrapped my arms around his waist, holding him tightly as if I were afraid he would fall.

I was happily calculating on my abacus when I suddenly felt someone tugging at my hair. It turned out that after a stop, a few people got on, and one of them, a woman holding a child, stood next to me. The child playfully tugged at my hair.

If I had just sat quietly without moving, the subsequent embarrassing events would not have occurred. However, it is too late for regrets now, as I have already taken action

There are no seats left on the bus, and the woman standing next to me is holding a child, looking at me with eager eyes

No wonder someone bullied him last time, and he stubbornly refused to stand up and resist them; it turns out it was because of Yao Haixu

Chi Yanze glanced at me and then walked straight out

Her complexion is extremely gloomy, how frightening it is

Chi Yanzhe struggled in a fit of embarrassment and anger

Chi Yanze was taken aback for a moment, then pulled out a handful of change from his coat pocket and stuffed it all into my hand

It only takes one ride to get from here to school, and the total fare for two people is just 2 yuan. However, as I looked at the pile of banknotes in my hand, varying in size and color, amounting to around 70 or 80 yuan, I found it difficult to swallow.

Chi Yanzhe walked up to me with a blank expression, one hand gripping the handrail beside me

After returning, he isolated himself in his room, refraining from communicating with others. From that point on, regardless of who bullied him, he no longer resisted with force, but instead endured in every possible way.

Chi Yanzhe, we can take the bus to school! I shouted from behind him

Remember, no matter what the gentleman asks you to do, do not forget your own identity. You are the daughter of the housekeeper; how can you allow the young master to carry you? Not to mention that you are not really Xiaoxu, even if you were, your status does not permit such actions. The gentleman has been kind to our family; if it were not for the young master, I would not want to regard you as my family's Xiaoxu. Just look at you, you have no refinement at all, just a wild girl. Fortunately, when the young master carried you back yesterday, the gentleman was not present; otherwise, he would have certainly been furious upon seeing it. I hope such incidents do not happen again in the future. Now, please report what happened yesterday. Did the young master speak to you? When interacting with others, has he become more natural...

It is truly not charming at all; it would be much better to smile at others.

If he gives me this much fare every day, and we take the bus every day, then I would quickly become wealthy

Seemingly seeing through my doubts, Mama Yao said lightly: "The gentleman said the driver cannot take you, only the young master, so the young master simply won't take the car either. Look, the young master is so good to you, hurry and go to school with him!"

Seeing him like this, I quickly walked up, took his arm, and affectionately said: "Don't be shy, it turns out that our little Ze is so thoughtful and likes me so much."

Since Chi Yanze is already willing to speak with me, I believe it is not far from the time when he will open his heart to everyone

I am also aware of the subsequent events. It was at that moment that my aunt encountered Mr. Chi. Upon learning of this matter, she realized that I bore a striking resemblance to Yao Haixu. My aunt immediately thought of having me impersonate Yao Haixu and reached an agreement with Mr. Chi.

I am not that foolish! If I were to say it out loud, wouldn't I be courting death?

The doctor has performed many treatments for Chi Yanzhe, but the results have not been significant. The doctor stated that if Chi Yanzhe cannot resolve this mental block, his illness will not improve

I hurried to catch up, as it seemed that Mr. Chi felt that Yao Haixu, after all, was the daughter of the housekeeper and should not take a special car to school with his son every day. The reason someone accompanied me yesterday was due to special circumstances. I initially thought that the treatment of working at the Chi family was truly good, but now it appears to have been a false hope.

I swallowed hard, trying to ease the atmosphere, and raised my hand to greet Aunt Yao: "Good morning!"

This is your breakfast, hurry up, the young master is waiting for you to go to school together. Remember, you not only need to help the young master untangle his emotional knots, but also engage in more communication with him, and assist him in interacting with others. You must help him overcome his fear of strangers, be willing to take the initiative to interact with people, and be adept at expressing his feelings

Hearing my question, Mother Yao patiently began to explain

Although I live in the Chi family, the butler's family has their own designated room. Therefore, I live with Yao Haixu's parents, and naturally, I have breakfast with them as well

In fact, it is quite good not to have a free car service, at least I can get some pocket money from Chi Yanze's hands Ha ha

After I sat up straight, I saw bright red liquid dripping drop by drop onto the backpack in front of me. Surprised, I immediately put on an innocent, natural, and astonished expression, and asked the boy, whose face was pale, forehead bruised, and pitifully wiping his nosebleed: "Chi Yanze, why are you bleeding from your nose?"

Ah... I suddenly understood something, and with a dawning realization, I laughed and said, "You deliberately waited for me to walk to school together, didn't you? Do you still want to carry me? However, that's not going to happen, as my mom scolded me yesterday."

Mother Yao's cold expression showed no signs of softening, her arms crossed over her chest, presenting a demeanor of instructing me

As the time for class approached, I had no choice but to step forward, take Chi Yanze's hand, and without waiting for him to react, I headed towards the bus stop

I am sitting in a single seat, and right behind me is Chi Yanzhe. Could it be... As I turned my head, I indeed saw that woman sitting in Chi Yanzhe's seat, smiling and thanking him

Chi Yanzhe seemed taken aback by my sudden embrace, his entire being frozen in place. As he stood there in shock, I lifted my head to look at him, feeling my chin brush against his thigh. I then noticed that his entire face appeared to change color, shifting from pink to white, then from white to red, and finally to a deep crimson.

Chi Yanzhe led me out of the villa area and walked west for one hundred meters to the nearby main road to hail a taxi. However, for some unknown reason, there were no taxis in sight today

I pretended not to see, whistling as I gazed out the window

I quickly bent down to avoid him, and he crashed into the car window

Seeing that Chi Yanze had no intention of taking it back, I quickly withdrew my hand and stuffed all the money into my pants pocket. Then, I took out two coins from my jacket pocket and pulled Chi Yanze onto the bus that had just stopped.

Upon arriving at the bus stop, I extended my hand and said to him: "Give me the fare!"

Chi Yanze's face remained expressionless, and he did not respond to me

When I reached the door, I was surprised to find only Chi Yanze waiting there, while the driver who was supposed to take us to school was nowhere to be seen

Indeed, when we saw Yao Haixu's mother, who is the housekeeper here, I knew that something was amiss

Seeing his originally expressionless face, which has now become extremely expressive due to my prank, I couldn't help but find it very amusing

Under the watchful gaze of Mother Yao, I recounted in detail everything that had happened at school yesterday

Over the years, Chi Yanze's self-blame has not diminished with the passage of time; rather, it has intensified to the point where he no longer speaks or communicates with anyone

At that moment, I saw Chi Yanze tremble all over, and a cold light shot towards me from his deep-set eyes

As I was about to get up, the woman walked back holding the child.

Therefore, he has always felt very guilty, believing that the disappearance of Yao Haixu is entirely his fault. If he had not attacked those people, they would not have sought revenge by leaving Yao Haixu alone in the outskirts.

Mother Yao explained while escorting me to the main gate

It turns out that Chi Yanze was not always so reclusive. In his childhood, Chi Yanze was very assertive and domineering. However, when he was five years old, their kindergarten organized an outing. During that event, the daughter of the housekeeper, Yao Haixu, who was playing with him, was bullied by other children. He stood up for her and beat those children until they were left searching for their teeth. As a result, in retaliation, while Chi Yanze was not paying attention, they threw the four-year-old Yao Haixu out in the wilderness. When the teacher discovered this and went back to look for her, she could no longer be found.
