"Where have we met?"

The same words, different voices, coming out of the mouths of two people, seem particularly weird.

The two couldn't help but smile at the same time, and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

The female tea guest glanced at Qi Xiaoyu carefully: "I think you are very familiar with the girl!"

Qi Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Me too." ”

The movement here attracted Lin Qiulan to come over, and when she saw the two sitting facing each other, she suddenly let out an exclamation: "Like, too similar!"

The two were stunned at the same time.

"You say we look alike?"

It's the same words again, but at this moment, both of them can't care about it.

The female tea guest carefully looked at Qi Xiaoyu opposite, and with Lin Qiulan's words, she looked at Qi Xiaoyu, and she also had a feeling that the more she looked at her, the more she looked like herself.

The reverse is true for Qixiaoyu.

However, Qi Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it in his heart.

In the vast sea of people, there are more people who look similar, and there is really nothing strange about this.

"Meet me, I am the owner of this splendid tea house, Qi Xiaoyu. ”

She smiled and held out her hand.

The female tea guest put away the surprised expression on her face, and also stretched out her hand: "Mu Xinxue." ”

"Go on, drink tea. ”

Qi Xiaoyu personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, Mu Xinxue was not polite, and took a sip: "Little girl, seeing that you are not very old, you have become the owner of the tea house early." But you're still in school?"

"Naturally. This tea house has someone to watch, so I don't need to watch it myself. The past two days have been fine, so I was fortunate to meet Madame. ”

Qi Xiaoyu explained with a smile.

Mu Xinxue stared: "No, since you are still in school, at this time, it doesn't look like a school holiday, you-"

"I'm on leave. ”

Qi Xiaoyu said calmly.

Mu Xinxue suddenly said: "I see." Little girl, listen to your accent, not like a Kyoto native, how long have you been in Kyoto?"

It stands to reason that the two people who met for the first time were a little offended to ask such a thing.

But Qi Xiaoyu was familiar with this lady named Mu Xinxue at first sight, and he didn't care much about it: "What Mrs. said is that I am indeed not a native of Kyoto. My hometown is in a small place over there. ”

"That little girl, you said you came to Kyoto to go to school?"

Mu Xinxue asked tentatively again.

"Not really. I went to school in Nishiki and came to Kyoto because I had something to do. ”

"Nishiki goes to school!"

Mu Xinxue thought thoughtfully: "I heard that there are many middle schools in Jinshi, and the conditions are very good. However, to say that the teaching strength is the strongest and the most famous, it is the first school in Jinshi. I don't know which school you went to in Jinshi, little girl?"

This is a bit of a clear check of the household registration.

Qi Xiaoyu smiled silently, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Mu Xinxue reacted in hindsight, she asked a little too much, she really had a very good impression of this little girl who looked eight or nine points similar to herself, and this excitement inevitably asked some inappropriate words.

Fortunately, the little girl is very vigilant!

Mu Xinxue thought with some relief.

Although she didn't know why she had such a feeling of relief, in short, it just popped up so inexplicably.

"Aunt Lin, this lady and I hit it off at first sight, you go to the Jiayue Building next to you to book a table and come back. How about inviting my wife to a meal today?"

The previous sentence was said to Lin Qiulan, and the latter sentence was to ask Mu Xinxue.

Mu Xinxue held the tea cup and smiled gently: "It's just right, I also have this idea." Originally, I should have invited this meal, but since you took the lead, then I will take advantage of you. ”

Qi Xiaoyu winked playfully: "Big deal, let you invite me next time." Madame doesn't want to come to my tea house once, and she won't come in the future, right?"

"Haha, little girl, flamboyance!"

Lin Qiulan soon went out.

It's just that before going out, she looked at Mu Xinxue again, and seemed to have something in her heart, but she felt that such an idea was ridiculous, after all, as Qi Xiaoyu said, there are more people in the world who look similar, where will it be what she thinks in her heart?

Forget it, it's still important to do what Qi Xiaoyu explained.

Qi Xiaoyu and Mu Xinxue were talking and laughing, and the entire teahouse was full of their laughter.

Several tea ladies in bright cheongsams in the hall all looked over curiously.

Lin Qiulan came back quickly, the waiters in Jiayue Building brought more than ten dishes, Qi Xiaoyu and Mu Xinxue changed a large round table, and the two talked eagerly again.

Mu Xinxue's good mood was instinctively driven.

The more she looked at Xiaoyu, the more pleasing she became, and she couldn't help but follow the topic just now.

"Speaking of the first school in Jinshi, to be honest, my two sons and daughters are studying there. However, some time ago, the eldest daughter was not angry and made a little mistake and came back, no, she found another school in Kyoto. ”

When Mu Xinxue said this, her tone was very helpless.

Qi Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "What kind of mistake did you make? The first school wouldn't be so unkind, right?"

"Hey, it's not about the school, it's my eldest daughter, who is thin-skinned and afraid of losing face, so she ran back. ”

Mu Xinxue sighed heavily.

But soon, her face turned sunny again: "But it's okay, the youngest son is angry, so I don't have to worry too much." ”

Immediately, he thought of Qi Xiaoyu again: "By the way, I just asked you which school you went to, but you refused to say it to me." Now, we're acquainted with each other, right? Now that we've all eaten at the same table, it should be convenient to reveal a little bit to me, right?"

It's not that Mu Xinxue is so curious about this, it's that she is in a hurry, and she wants to tease Qi Xiaoyu.

Qi Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile: "Madame said that she laughed, it just so happened that I also studied at the first school in Jinshi." ”

"Really?!"

Mu Xinxue was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "This is indeed a coincidence! By the way, are you in the first or second year of junior high school now?"

"The first year of junior high school. ”

"That's even more coincidental, my youngest son is also in the first year of junior high school, his name is Ning Mengyu, have you heard of it?"

"Ning Mengyu?!"

Qi Xiaoyu exclaimed.

Mu Xinxue was surprised: "Do you know him?"

Qi Xiaoyu smiled embarrassedly: "Not only do I know him, but I am still at the same table with him." ”

Mu Xinxue was stunned, she really didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world!

After being stunned for a long time, she reacted, and skillfully put vegetables into Qi Xiaoyu's bowl: "Little girl, this fate is coming, and I really can't stop it! My son's academic performance is among the best in school, if not among the best. Since you're at the same table as him, it's a class. Your grades aren't bad, are they?"

"It's okay. ”

Qi Xiaoyu blinked.

"Are you still modest in front of Aunt Mu?"

"Uh, Aunt Mu?"

Qi Xiaoyu was a little confused.

"Little girl, don't you think it's too raw for Mrs. to scream?"

Mu Xinxue reminded.

Qi Xiaoyu immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, it is indeed divided." Then, I'll call you Aunt Mu?"

Mu Xinxue's face bloomed with a happy smile.

"You just said, your name is Qi Xiaoyu?"

The latter nodded sheepishly.

"That's right, my name is Xiaoyu. Huh?"

Mu Xinxue suddenly exclaimed.

"Aunt Mu, what's wrong?"

Qi Xiaoyu stood up and asked with concern.

Mu Xinxue hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I just think it's too coincidental, hehe!"

Qi Xiaoyu didn't know why, but he heard Mu Xinxue explain: "No, my little son, is it called Ning Mengyu, I usually call him Xiaoyu Xiaoyu." Your name is Xiaoyu, isn't it too much of a coincidence!"

Speaking of the back, Mu Xinxue herself was silly happy.

Qi Xiaoyu also followed suit, this, it is indeed quite a coincidence.

However, soon, Qi Xiaoyu's smile disappeared, and Mu Xinxue, who had been paying attention to her, felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Qi Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Aunt Mu, it's not a big deal. It's like, I maybe, don't have a good relationship with your daughter. ”

Mu Xinxue's expression became serious: "What do you say?"

Qi Xiaoyu briefly talked about the previous school.

Mu Xinxue's face suddenly became a little ugly.

"This kid, no wonder he came back with a gloomy face. I did such a bad thing, but I was embarrassed to go home and show my face! Xiaoyu, don't worry, Auntie will go back and talk about her, and ask her to come over and compensate you!"

Qi Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand: "Aunt Mu, no, this matter is over, I didn't take it to heart." ”

Hearing her say this, Mu Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Mengzhi's temper, how can she, a mother, not know in her heart?

Seriously, she wasn't sure enough to ask her to come over and apologize.

"Aunt Mu, the food is going to be cold, let's eat. ”

"Okay, eat the vegetables. ”

Both sides tacitly avoided the topic.

In the next few days, Mu Xinxue often came to the teahouse to chat with Qi Xiaoyu, sometimes going out for a meal, or shopping together, and the feelings between each other quickly warmed up.

As the time of contact lasted, strange feelings rose in the hearts of both of them.

Sometimes, in Mu Xinxue's heart, there will be an illusion that Qi Xiaoyu is his daughter, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Until one day: "Xiaoyu, we've known each other for so long, but we haven't heard you mention your family." ”

"I don't have a family. ”

Qi Xiaoyu, who was fine in the last second, suddenly changed his face, and his mood instantly fell.

Mu Xinxue's heart sank suddenly.

Could it be that he asked what he shouldn't have asked? Qi Xiaoyu's family, could it be that he passed away?

Qi Xiaoyu also sensed that her emotions were wrong, and she couldn't help but squeeze out a smile on her face: "Aunt Mu, the situation in my family is more complicated. It's not what you think, but it's more serious than you think. I don't want to talk about that. ”

"Okay, I won't ask. ”

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyu was unhappy, Mu Xinxue instinctively felt panicked, but fortunately changed the topic: "You are in Kyoto, you shouldn't be able to stay for a few days, right?"

"Well, I took ten days off and today is the seventh day. ”

"Is there anything that needs to be done?"

"I made an appointment. However, if the other party has something to do temporarily, I will wait for two more days. ”

Mu Xinxue didn't ask any more.

On this day, Leng Yixuan's call finally came:

"Where? I'll look for you. ”
