"Pretty boy Nan!" Qin Yunfei pushed the hoi polloi in front of him out of the way and hooked his mouth toward him.

"Brother Fei!" Chen Canaan revealed a face full of surprise, seemingly amazed that he appeared here in the middle of the night, "Why are you here?"

"Nan--" called Qiaowen in a low voice from inside the house, about the time he had just been awakened, his voice still carrying a hint of soft lethargy, "Who is it?"

Chen Canaan turned back and lowered his voice, "Xiao Qiao is fine, you continue to sleep."

However, Qin Yunfei directly pushed him away and walked into this tiny room, his gaze landing straight on the teenager who was half-sitting up and rubbing his eyes on the tiny wooden bed by the wall.

There was only a dim lamp in the room, and under the dim light, Qiao Wen's fair jade-like face carried a bit of confusion-like drowsiness.

"Fei!" He reacted with what seemed like an afterthought, letting out a low exclamation of surprise and immediately sitting up, revealing a face of horror.

Qin Yunfei walked up to him and surveyed his tiny wooden bed, bending down to show him a smile, "Ah Wen don't be afraid, I'm looking for Nan to ask him something."

Chen Canaan followed up and blocked the person away, whispering, "Brother Fei, Granny is still sleeping, if you have anything to say otherwise you should go out and say it."

Qin Yunfei stood up straight and crossed over to look at Qiao Wen on the bed, then retracted his eyes and revealed a meaningful smile to him, nodding his head and saying, "Alright, I guess we can't finish talking about this matter for a while, let's go to Lido and talk about it slowly."

He turned around, and suddenly thought of something as if he turned back to Qiao Wen again, "Ah Wen also go together." His voice was pleasant, but his tone was clearly one that could not be refused, and when he saw Chen Canaan furrow his brows, he reached out and patted his face with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not going to eat Ah Wen, I'm quite attached to your brother, and I can't wait to take care of him."

Chen Canaan grunted twice with a leathery smile.

Jovian, however, got out of bed quite calmly, put on his clothes, and followed without a word.

It was just after three in the morning, and the group went to the Lido in the night.

In the hall, Scar was sprawled on a sofa, letting his little brother push his injuries with medicinal wine, occasionally letting out a pig-killing howl.

Seeing Qin Yunfei return, he immediately closed his voice and stood up to yell at Chen Canaan, "Pretty boy Nan! You're so fucking bold, how dare you help an outsider steal a girl from Lido, and you even fucking injured me!"

Chen Canaan blinked his eyes with a confused expression, "Brother Scar, what did you say? Why can't I understand?"

Scar: "Are you still pretending with me? You're the one who injured me with the Guan Er Master mask."

"No! What the hell are you talking about, Brother Scar?" Chen Canaan opened his black eyes wide, living as an innocent teenager. With that, he turned his head to look at Qin Yunfei again, "Brother Fei, what's wrong with Brother Scar? I didn't understand a single word he said."

Not compared to Scar's impatience, Qin Yunfei was quite a bit more calm and relaxed, first sitting down unhurriedly and not forgetting to greet Qiao Wen: "Ah Wen, sit!"

The Lido was specially wired for a very adequate supply of electricity, and the two crystal lamps were turned on, illuminating the faces of a circle of people very distinctly.

Fortunately, Qiaowen and Chen Canaan afternoon rainy day and sleep a few hours early, at this time the face is still available, and there is no suspicion of the middle of the night to do the hook of stealing chickens and dogs.

Qin Yunfei unhurriedly picked up a cup of hot tea presented by his horse and took a sip, then lifted his eyelids and opened his mouth with a smile, "Ah Nan, do you really not know what Scar is talking about?"

Chen Canaan shook his head with a blank expression.

Qin Yunfei laughed lightly, "Then let me ask you, what did you do tonight?"

Chen Canaan frowned, "After playing cards at home with Uncle and Aunt Howie for a while, I went downstairs to sleep at Ah Wen's house after ten o'clock, and then I was woken up by you guys."

Qin Yunfei hooked the corner of his mouth and turned to Qiao Wen, "Wen, tell Brother Fei if your Nan has told any lies?"

Compared to Chen Canaan's deadpan general innocence, Qiao Wen, on the other hand, always had a look of panic and fear that matched his persona, in short, completely unlike a person who would lie, he shook his head vigorously, "Nan didn't lie to you, he did sleep in my house."

Qin Yunfei looked him up and down, raised one eyebrow and laughed, "Wow, so you guys are so affectionate that you sleep in the same bed."

His light tone was full of ambiguity, and Qiao Wen couldn't help but frown. However, Chen Canaan was oblivious to the fact that he didn't hear the mystery, and explained seriously, "Brother Fei, our house is small, and since I was little, I've either been squeezing into a bed with Howie, or squeezing into one with Qiao Wen."

Qin Yunfei laughed lowly, finally removing his gaze from Qiao Wen's face to look at the youth standing in front of him with a candid face, he coldly lowered his voice and said, ''Ah Nan, since you're claiming that you don't know what's going on, I'll tell you this, that Zhou Shao you introduced to Lido last time, stole the pair of yet-to-be-tuned sisters I spent a large amount of money to buy in the middle of the night tonight.

"What?!" Chen Canaan was shocked.

Qin Yunfei lazily leaned towards the back of the sofa chair and continued, "When they left, they were bumped into by Scar halfway, saying that in addition to Zhou Shao, there was also a masked helper, Scar wanted to stop the person, but was knocked out by the helper, fortunately his little brother was smart and escaped back to me to report the news."

"There's such a thing?" Chen Canaan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

It must be said that about as perennial as playing a half-baked and unproductive four-niner, his acting skills were very good, and this stunned expression at the moment looked very natural.

Qin Yunfei looked at him for a moment and laughed softly before he said in a careless manner, "Scar said that the one wearing the mask was you."

"Nonsense!" Chen Canaan was furious, "Brother Scar, I know you've always looked at me with displeasure, but you can't wrongly accuse people like this. I was sleeping at Ah Wen's house tonight from about ten o'clock until I was woken up by you guys, how could I possibly go and do this? Besides, Brother Scar is so capable of fighting, if it was really me, I would have been knocked down by him long ago, how could I be capable of knocking him out?"

Scar was choked and snapped for a moment. Being knocked unconscious by a four-nine under Zhao Ah Si was indeed not an honorable thing to do.

Qin Yunfei said, "So, this person really isn't you?"

Chen Canaan straightened his spine and said righteously, "Of course it's not me."

Qin Yunfei laughed, "But don't you think it's strange for this man to wear a mask in the middle of the night?"

As if he had evidence, Scar hurriedly agreed, "That's right, wearing a mask is to be afraid of being recognized, Pretty Nan, it must be you!"

"Brother Fei, there are rules of the society, you can't let Scar frame me in such a bloody-minded way!"

Qin Yunfei nodded, "I won't wrongly accuse someone for nothing, but this Zhou Shao was brought to Lido by you, do you dare to say you know nothing about him?"

"To tell you the truth, I really don't know. I know this person, because he was in the four brother gambling stalls gambling money, Scar also saw, at that time non-said people cheat, we bet a game, to determine that he is good luck. After that, he came to another gambling stall, asked me where to find a good place to have fun, let me take him to, I see him out of money, like a rich young master, took him to the Lido, also took that time. I'm really not familiar with him at all, I don't even know what he does."

Qin Yunfei looked at him and smiled, silent for a moment, suddenly spoke in a low voice word by word: "Pretty Nan, do you think I believe you?"

Chen Canaan puffed out his chest and said with great righteousness, "Whether Brother Fei believes me or not, what I'm saying is the truth."

Qin Yunfei pulled the corner of his mouth and raised his chin towards the next few ponies, not saying a word, but these little ponies, who were used to doing doggy things, immediately understood and stepped forward to catch Chen Canaan.

Scar was even more excited to reveal a sardonic smile, a foot with a stint in his knee socket.

Chen Canaan fell to his knees with a plop, and his upper body was even pressed down hard on the coffee table by two people, "Brother Fei, what are you doing!"

He didn't struggle, he just looked at Qin Yunfei in front of him with a red face and called out loudly.

Scar viciously clutched his hair and held him down, while two others ripped his right hand up and pressed it against the wooden coffee table.

When Qiao Wen saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, originally thinking that these people would at least talk about some rules and wouldn't succumb to a beating. But by the looks of it, the club rules were a dog's ass to Qin Yunfei.

He leaned forward and said, "Brother Fei, what are you doing? You have to talk about evidence to convict someone, right?"

Qin Yunfei turned his head to look at him, smiled without saying anything, and fished out a sharp dagger with a chilling light from somewhere, his other hand suddenly reaching out to pinch the back of his neck.

Qin Yunfei this person is a bit of a boy-girl phase, but his hands are very rough, and Qiao Wen's skin is really fine and tender, being pinched by him like this, it is simply choking with raw pain, but more like being licked by a poisonous snake, and chills all over his body.

"Qiao Wen, I know you're a good boy, it must have been Pretty Boy Nan who taught you to lie." He grabbed the back of Qiao Wen's neck, as if pinching a weak and unresisting young beast, and slowly pushed him forward, facing Chen Canaan, who was being held down on the coffee table, and then continued unhurriedly, "Don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth, I can minimize this matter today."

Seeing Qiao Wen being pinched by him like this, Chen Canaan exclaimed, "Brother Fei, if there's anything you want to do come at me, my brother isn't a member of the club, you're breaking the rules like this."

Qin Yunfei snorted, "I'm a hallowed Red Stick, do I need you, a forty-nine boy, to tell me the rules?" The dagger in his hand slowly moved to the top of the back of his hand and made a few false scratches against his skin, then he turned his head to Qiao Wen and said, "Ah Wen, do you think if I nail this knife, the blood on your Nan's hand will splash on this pretty little white boy of yours?"

"You're going to lynch?" Jovian frowned.

He was indeed a little white face, and at the moment, he was getting more and more miserable. And Qin Yunfei's mood was simply indescribably pleasurable as he looked at his pitiful appearance, which was almost shivering from fear.

Chen Canaan was afraid that Qiao Wen was scared, angry red face and neck wowed: "Fei, you have no evidence, even if you bend and beat that does not count, I want to tell Master Panther to tell Brother Feng."

Qin Yunfei seemed impatient by his raucous noise and frowned, "Plug his mouth for me."

Scar immediately took a rag from somewhere and roughly gagged Chen Canaan's mouth, yet it still didn't stop him from whimpering in protest.

Qin Yunfei raised his hand holding the dagger slightly, a pair of narrow and shadowy eyes staring at Qiao Wen with a single mistake, and said in a low voice, "Ah Wen, tell Brother Fei the truth, was it true that Nan had been sleeping at your house tonight?"

Jovian stared at the sharp pointed blade.

This knife down, Chen Canaan's right hand is only afraid to waste, for the sake of two girls who do not know each other, so waste a hand, is it worth it?

He suddenly regretted a little bit that he had been asked to be a so-called chivalrous man to save people.

At least for his own self at this moment, Chen Canaan's one hand was far more important than the lives of two strange girls.

He met Chen Canaan's eyes that were reddened from excitement, and because his head was being held down, only one pair of eyes could move slightly. But Qiao Wen could tell he was telling himself not to be afraid.

This fool, with his own hand about to be ruined, is still worrying about whether or not he's going to be shocked.

"Hm?" Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, Qin Yunfei's hand around his neck was slightly hardened.

Qiao Wen took a deep breath, met Qin Yunfei's eyes, and said, "Brother Fei, Nan has indeed been at my house tonight."

He tried to guess the man's mind from his eyes, yet he had to admit that this androgynous-born young man was so inscrutable and evil that he could never be one hundred percent sure what he was thinking.

Qin Yunfei let out a light laugh, the hand that was pinching his neck slightly pressed downward, allowing him to lean closer to Chen Canaan, and then came up to his ear and whispered, "I'm going to ask one more time, did Ah Nan go out tonight?" At the same time, the hand holding the dagger was raised by two points, and the bone knuckles made a slight rattling sound, clearly starting to exert force, "I'm going to count to three, and if you're still lying, this knife in my hand will nail him down hard, making his blood splatter on this little white boy of yours."

Qiao Wen looked into Chen Canaan's eyes that were about to ooze blood, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and returned word for word, "Nan didn't go out tonight."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he heard a loud bang, the sound of a knife being nailed into wood, and along with it, a miserable scream that pierced through the roof from Chen Canaan.

Qiao Wen's heart trembled and he subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see that the dagger was firmly inserted in the gap between Chen Canaan's tiger's mouth.

He heaved a sigh of relief as he unloaded.

The bet was won.

Qin Yunfei let go of his neck and laughed aloud to open his mouth, "I'm sure Wen didn't lie to me."

He glanced at Chen Canaan, who was lying on the coffee table and ghostly crying, of course he didn't trust this slippery forty-nine boy, but with a timid and cowardly nature like Qiaowen's, it was indeed unlikely that he would face this kind of situation and still have the guts to lie.

He looked again to Jovian, who had collapsed on the couch panting slightly.

In fact, this beauty had indeed been scared to death, and was simply as weak as a puddle at the moment.

Qin Yunfei looked at this fragile and helpless beautiful appearance of his and was simply tickled to death, reaching out to support his head, softly saying, "Ah Wen don't be afraid, just now Brother Fei was just teasing you."

Chen Canaan, realizing that he had almost howled, finally gasped for breath and withdrew his voice, looking up and saying, "Brother Fei, my Ah Di's health is not good, so don't make things difficult for him."

"Pretty boy Nan!" Qin Yunfei turned his head to look at him and let out a cold smile, "Don't think that this is just going to go away, but whenever I find a bit of evidence, you're not going to be spared from the three cuts and six holes."

As soon as his words fell, a sudden cacophony of noise rang out from outside the door.

"Fung!"

Qiao Wen raised his eyes at the sound of his voice and saw Jiang Yu Feng striding in, surrounded by a few horsemen.

Qin Yunfei got up and said, "Brother Feng, what brings you here?"

Jiang Yu Feng swept his eyes over the messy scene, frowned and said in a deep voice, "I heard that something happened on your side, so I came over to take a look."

Chen Canaan took the opportunity to break away from the people clamping down on him, rolling and crawling to Jiang Yu Feng's side, falling crookedly to the ground and hugging his legs, howling loudly, "Brother Feng! You have to do something for me! Brother Fei here has been abducted by two girls, and without proof had to say that I was a helper, and even took my Ah Di to threaten him."

He was simply acting like a scoundrel, and Jiang Yu Feng couldn't help but draw the corners of his mouth as he looked at his snotty appearance with downcast eyes.

He pulled out his leg that was being held, looked up at Qiao Wen who was weakly leaning against the sofa, frowned and gently said: ''Fei, aren't you fooling around! If you suspect Nan, you can just call him in for a slow interrogation, his brother isn't a member of the club, so what's the point of bringing him here in the middle of the night? His brother's health is poor, if anything happens to him here, how can he explain to the people of the city?"

Qin Yunfei obviously didn't dare to make a scene in front of this immediate superior, and snapped, "I just brought Ah Wen here to ask questions, I didn't do anything to him?" He also turned his head to look like Qiao Wen and said with a gentle face, "Ah Wen, Brother Fei didn't bully you, right?"

Qiao Wen sat slightly straight and waved his hand weakly: "Brother Feng, I ...... am fine." Just this word thing has not yet fallen, the person will plop backwards, fainted.

"Xiao Qiao!" Chen Canaan exclaimed out of breath.

Jiang Yu Feng quickly stepped forward, his long legs crossed the coffee table, pulled up Qiao Wen on the sofa, pinched the center of the person, saw no reaction, directly picked the person up in a cross body, and glared fiercely at Qin Yunfei, coldly drank, "I'll look for you to settle the score later." After saying that, he looked at Chen Canaan who was still paralyzed on the ground like mud, "Anan, go!"

Chen Canaan got this amnesty and immediately turned from rotten mud into an agile leopard, bouncing up from the ground and flying to follow him, where was he still in the same scared-to-death state he was in just now.

Qiao Wen originally just wanted to pretend to faint and end this interrogation, but he didn't expect to be picked up by Jiang Youfeng and run to the clinic. So much so that he could only continue to pretend for a little while longer.

"Brother Feng, I'll do it!" After leaving the Lido, Chen Canaan opened his mouth.

Jiang Xuefeng said, "It's fine, I'll do it, just now you were scared by Fei, slow down your energy first."

Chen Canaan really wasn't polite anymore.

Qiao Wen had smelled enough of the small clinic and didn't want to suffer any more, and when he was almost at the Western District, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Feng!"

"Awake?" Seeing him struggling to get up, Jiang Yu Feng hurriedly put the man down carefully.

"Xiao Qiao, how are you?" Chen Canaan hurriedly grabbed his arm and looked him up and down by the light of a horse lamp carried by a nearby horseman.

Jovian shook his head, "I'm fine."

Chen Canaan heaved a sigh of relief, "I was almost scared to death just now." Before Qiao Wen could speak, he heard him say again, "I was afraid that the knife would fall and scare you out of something."

Jovan: "????"

Shouldn't you be worried that your hand will be ruined if the knife falls?

Although he felt that he was so heartless that it simply made him cry a little, it also reconfirmed how much he loved his Xiao Qiao, a bond that was even better than that of a biological brother, and it was no wonder that in the original book, Qiaowen's death would be the spark that led to his blacking out.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the pair of young brothers, Jiang Yu Feng took the horse lamp from the horse boy and handed it to Chen Canaan: "Since your Ah Di is fine, you two brothers go back and have a good rest, I'm going to go find Fei to ask him about the situation, and if it's really true that he's wronged someone for no reason, I'll teach him a lesson."

Chen Canaan touched his head and snapped, "Brother Feng, thank you for tonight. But Brother Fei is just scaring us, you don't have to get upset with him for us."

Jiang Yu Feng laughed and said, "He doesn't have the ability to be unpleasant with me." After thinking about it, he added, "When morning comes, you should take your brother to see the doctor."

Canaan Chen: "Uh-huh."

Qiaowen chimed in, "Thank you, Brother Wind."

"You're welcome." Jiang Youfeng laughed cheerfully and waved his hand, "Let's go."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Xuefeng, Chen Canaan carried a horse lamp in one hand and led Qiao Wen in the other, walking through the darkness. His hands were well-boned, with a layer of coarse calluses on his fingers and a warm dampness in his palms, young and powerful hands.

Qiao Wen felt that two big men holding hands always felt a little strange. However, Chen Canaan had clearly been treating his original body as a younger brother who needed his care, so he didn't deliberately break away.

It was not even five in the morning, and the entire fortress was still asleep. Because he had passed the barrier without any danger, Qiao Wen was quite relaxed in his heart, and didn't even realize how tired he was.

Afraid of waking Granny, both of them tiptoed into the house, only to collapse on the bed with a big unanimous gasp.

And then couldn't help but smile at each other silently in the darkness.

Calm for a moment, Chen Canaan whispered, "Just now Fei wanted to take a knife and nail my hand, I thought you would not be able to withstand the shock of speaking the truth, but I did not expect you to endure it."

Qiao Wen laughed softly, "Do not tell the truth you at most waste a hand, said I am afraid to have three cuts and six holes in the life of a small, I'm afraid again have to endure." He gave a slight beat, "In fact, I am also a bet, if Brother Fei is still considered a man of rules, he will not lynch you without any evidence. If we win the bet, we will be able to pass the test temporarily, and if we lose the bet, we will at most waste one of your hands."

Chen Canaan pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted, "What do you mean, at most one of my hands will be wasted? If I lose a hand, how can I get along in the future?"

Qiao Wen was amused by him, thought for a moment, and then asked nicely, "Nan, did you regret it at the time?"

"Hm?" Chen Canaan didn't seem to understand.

Jovian: "Just any regrets about saving someone?"

Chen Canaan was full of concern, "What's there to regret, it's always two lives, even if you waste your hands, it's worth it."

Jovian froze slightly, then smiled away, reaching out to rub his hair like he wanted to treat a small child, "I'm relieved that you feel that way."

Chen Canaan was comfortably rubbed by him and arched towards his neck, saying, "But, then again, I was still shocked to see you pass out."

Jovian giggled, "I faked it."

"Huh?" Chen Canaan was stunned.

Qiao Wen said, "I was afraid that Fei would seize us and not let us go, and when I saw that Feng was here, I simply went along with the situation and pretended to faint, or else I guess I'd still be spending time over there."

Chen Canaan put up his head and laughed, "Xiao Qiao, you're actually so cunning? Has it gotten worse?"

Qiao Wen said, "I can't fight, and I can't carry a fight, when it comes to this kind of thing, of course I have to use my brain more. Besides, this acting thing is not all learned from you, compared to your acting skills tonight, I'm far worse."

Chen Canaan hemmed and hawed and lay back down, nodding his head deeply, he had indeed acted well tonight, and should not have called out any loopholes at all.

He laughed at himself for a while, then remembered something and said, ''I'm glad you thought it through and dragged me back in a hurry. Sure enough, it wasn't more than a few minutes before Brother Fei came looking for me. Now that I think about it, I'm still a bit scared."

Qiao Wen laughed lightly, "Although we passed this hurdle tonight, but don't take it too lightly, I reckon Fei won't just let it go, so watch out for yourself next, don't let anyone catch you in the act."

Chen Canaan sighed, "I really hope that Brother Feng can stay in the city fortress for a few more days, with him there Brother Fei can be more honest."

Hearing him say this, Qiao Wen's mind floated Jiang Yu Feng's cold and stern face, originally thought that having such a scary face would be a cold and ruthless person, but didn't expect the character to be surprisingly kind.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's better to ask for help than to ask for your own, or to be careful."

Chen Canaan grunted and said hatefully, "I don't care how Brother Fei treats me, but I can't bully you, I can't stand it if I really bully you."

Thinking of Qin Yunfei's attitude towards Qiao Wen tonight, he was pretty sure that bastard was harboring dirty thoughts towards Xiao Qiao, which simply made him scratch his heart and lungs so hard that he couldn't wait to completely clean up the person before he could rest assured.

Qiao Wen saw him grunt in anger, good smile, "You can rest assured, we are all city cottage neighbors, as long as I pay attention to myself, he is not so much as to do anything to me, although I am physically not able to do so, but I'm not brainless, I won't easily fall into his hands."

Chen Canaan hemmed and hawed and laughed, "That's true, Xiao Qiao you're really getting more and more capable now, Nan will follow you from now on."

Jovian patted him on the shoulder, "Then you'll listen to me from now on."

"Sure."
