Chapter 02 Not every child who tells a lie will grow a long nose
In the fairy tale, there is a boy named Pinocchio who loves to lie. Every time he lies, his nose grows longer.
But she won't.
It turns out that not every child who lies will grow a long nose.
——Chi Yanze

Sure enough, when I saw Yao Haiyan's mother, who is also the housekeeper here, I knew something was wrong.
Her face was very gloomy, so scary.
Although I live in the Chi family, the housekeeper's family has a special room. So, I live with Yao Haiyan's parents, and naturally I have to eat breakfast with them.
I swallowed hard, trying to lighten the mood, and raised my hand to greet Yao's mother: "Good morning!"
Mother Yao's icy expression didn't relax at all. She folded her hands over her chest, looking like she was teaching me.
"Remember, no matter what the master asks you to do, don't forget your identity. You are the daughter of the housekeeper, how can you let the young master carry you? Not to mention that you are not the real Xiaoyan, even if you are, you can't do these things with your identity. The master is very kind to our family. If it weren't for the young master, I wouldn't want to treat you as my Xiaoyan. Look at you, you have no self-cultivation at all, just a wild girl. Fortunately, the master was not there when the young master carried you back yesterday, otherwise he would have been furious if he saw it. I hope this kind of thing will not happen again in the future. Now come and report what happened yesterday. Did the young master talk to you? Has he become more natural when getting along with other people..."
Under the gaze of Mother Yao, I told her everything that happened at school yesterday.
But I didn't dare tell her that I did something particularly great yesterday, which was to kiss her young master, more than once.
I'm not that stupid! If I tell anyone, I'll be asking for death.
"This is your breakfast. Go quickly. The young master is waiting for you to go to school together. Remember, you should not only help the young master to resolve his worries, but also communicate with him more and help him communicate with other people. You should make him no longer afraid of strangers, willing to take the initiative to interact with others, and good at expressing his emotions..."
"By the way, each of you wants me to help the young master solve his problem. What is his problem? Why do you have to ask me to pretend to be Yao Haiyan to solve his problem?"
Originally I thought that as long as I could get the money, everything would be fine. But now after dealing with Chi Yanze, I suddenly want to understand the reason for all this.
When I asked this question, Mother Yao began to explain patiently.
It turns out that Chi Yanze was not so withdrawn since childhood. When he was a child, Chi Yanze was very strong and domineering. However, when he was five years old, their kindergarten held a picnic activity. During that activity, because Yao Haiyan, the daughter of the housekeeper who went to play with him, was bullied by other children, he stood up and beat those children to the ground. As a result, in order to retaliate, they took advantage of Chi Yanze's inattention and threw the four-year-old Yao Haiyan in the suburbs. When the teacher found out, he went back to look for her, but he couldn't find her anymore.
Therefore, he always blamed himself and thought that Yao Haiyan's disappearance was entirely his fault. If he hadn't beaten those people, they wouldn't have abandoned Yao Haiyan alone in the suburbs in order to retaliate against him.
After he came back, he stayed in his room alone and didn't communicate with others. From then on, no matter who bullied him, he no longer fought back with force, but just endured it in every possible way.
After the accident, Chi Xinjian also sent people to look for Yao Haiyan, but he could not find her. That night there was a heavy rain, which triggered a mudslide in the area, so everyone thought that Yao Haiyan might have died that night.
Over the years, Chi Yanze's self-blame not only did not lessen with the passage of time, but became more and more serious, to the point where he no longer spoke and did not communicate with anyone.
The doctor treated Chi Yanze many times, but the effect was not obvious. The doctor said that if Chi Yanze could not untie the knot in his heart, his illness would not be cured.
Therefore, Chi Xinjian called his men, took Yao Haiyan's photo when she was four years old, and told them to find her no matter what. Even if they couldn't find her, they had to find evidence of her death.
I also know what happened next. At that time, my aunt met Mr. Chi, and after learning about this, she found that Yao Haiyan and I looked a lot alike. My aunt immediately thought of letting me pretend to be Yao Haiyan , and reached an agreement with Mr. Chi.
No wonder he refused to stand up and fight against those who bullied him last time. It turned out to be because of Yao Haiyan!
Mother Yao explained as she walked me to the gate.
Since Chi Yanze is willing to talk to me, I believe that it won’t be long before he opens his heart to everyone.
When I walked to the door, I was surprised to find that only Chi Yanze was waiting there, and the driver who was supposed to take us to school was nowhere to be seen.
As if seeing through my doubts, Mother Yao said calmly: "The master said that the driver can't take you, but only the young master, so the young master simply didn't take the car. Look, the young master is so good to you, hurry up and go to school with the young master!"
Chi Yanze glanced at me and then walked straight out.
I hurriedly followed him. It seemed that Mr. Chi felt that Yao Haiyan was the daughter of the housekeeper after all, and should not take a special car to school with his son every day. The reason why someone sent me yesterday was because of special circumstances. I originally thought that the treatment for "working" in the Chi family was really good, but now it seems that I was happy for nothing.
"Chi Yanze, we can take the bus to school!" I shouted behind him .
There was still no expression on Chi Yanze's face, and he didn't respond to me.
"Ah..." I suddenly understood something, and said with a smile, "You deliberately waited for me to walk to school together, right? Do you still want to carry me? But, no, I was scolded by my mother yesterday."
Chi Yanze didn't answer, but his pace became faster and faster.
Seeing him like this, I quickly walked up to him, took his arm, and said affectionately, "Don't be shy. It turns out that our Xiaoze is so thoughtful and likes me so much."
Chi Yanze struggled in anger.
But I ignored his reaction and held her tighter: "Okay, okay, I know you like me. Xiaoze is so cute, hahaha..."
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his originally expressionless face, which had become so expressive because of my prank.
Chi Yanze led me out of the villa area, walked another 100 meters west, and stopped a taxi on the nearby main road. But for some reason, I didn't see a taxi today.
I sighed. A young master is a young master. The bus stop is right next to him, but he still insisted on taking a taxi.
Seeing that the class time was getting closer, I had no choice but to walk up, hold Chi Yanze's hand, and walk towards the bus stop before he could react.
When we got to the bus stop, I held out my hand and said to him, "Give me the fare!"
Chi Yanze was stunned for a moment, then he took out a handful of change from his coat pocket and stuffed it all into my hands.
It only takes one bus ride from here to school, and it only costs two yuan for two people. But I looked at the pile of 70 to 80 yuan bills of different sizes and colors in my hand, and swallowed hard.
Seeing that Chi Yanze had no intention of taking it back, I quickly withdrew my hand, stuffed all the money into my trouser pocket, then took out two coins from my pocket, and pulled Chi Yanze onto the bus that had just stopped.
Actually, it’s not bad that there’s no free car to take me there, at least I can get some pocket money from Chi Yanze. Haha!
If he gives me so much money for bus fare every day and we take the bus every day, I will become rich very quickly.
I was happily thinking about my plans when I suddenly felt someone pulling my hair. It turned out that after passing a station, a few people got on the bus, and one of them was a woman holding a child standing next to me. The child pulled my hair playfully.
There were no seats left on the bus, and the woman stood next to me holding the child, looking at me eagerly.
Why are you staring at me? It makes me feel creepy.
Never mind. Even though I haven’t finished my bread and my school bag is quite heavy, I’ll still give him my seat.
Just as I was about to get up, the woman walked towards the back holding the child.
I was sitting in a single seat, and behind me was Chi Yanze. Could it be... I turned around and saw that woman sitting in Chi Yanze's seat, smiling and thanking him.
Chi Yanze walked up to me with an expressionless face, holding the handrail next to me with one hand.
It's really not cute at all. It would be nice if you could smile at others.
I was just about to say something to him when the car suddenly braked. Chi Yanze was caught off guard and was about to fall towards me. I didn't know what happened to me, but I suddenly reached out and wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly, as if I was afraid he would fall.
If I had just sat there and not moved, the embarrassing thing that happened next wouldn't have happened. But it's too late to regret now, because I've already made the move.
Chi Yanze seemed to be surprised that I would suddenly hug him, and he was stunned. While he was stunned, I looked up at him and felt my chin touch his thigh. Then I saw that Chi Yanze's face seemed to change color, from pink to white, then from white to red, and then bright red.
By the time I reacted, I had been pushed away by the very excited Chi Yanze. In the midst of pushing me away, Chi Yanze, who lost his support with his hands, rushed towards me.
I quickly bent down to avoid him, and he hit the car window.
After I sat up straight, I saw bright red liquid dripping onto the schoolbag in front of me. Surprised, I immediately put on an innocent, natural, and surprised expression, and asked the boy with a livid face, a purple forehead, and a pitiful nosebleed, "Chi Yanze, why are you bleeding from your nose ?"
At that moment, I saw Chi Yanze tremble all over, and a cold light shot towards me from his deep eyes.
I pretended not to see it, whistling and looking out the window.
