I feel like even if I want to explode my head, it's hard to figure out all at once where this is and what kind of broken relationship these people are.

Although I was very surprised to see Chen Daowei here, and I was also a little depressed about seeing Cao Jiaying, I have to say that after they came, at least they broke the deadlock just now, and my tension was relieved a lot, and I grabbed Yu Minghui's strength, and I couldn't help but relax a little.

At this time, Fang Qingqing, who was sitting opposite me, stood up, she walked to the side of the group of people, and she said to the old man with all kinds of tenderness: "Dad, it's too late, otherwise let's have dinner first, sit down and talk slowly." ”

The old man nodded and waved at Uncle Xian.

Yu Minghui came over and whispered in my ear: "Lin Sisi, don't be too restrained, just eat and drink as you like in a while." ”

I didn't answer, but responded with a look in my eyes.

Yu Minghui led me to stand up, and he led me behind the old man and walked slowly towards the dining room.

What surprised me even more was that the old man was stunned to ask Chen Daowei to sit on his right hand side, Chen Daowei was not very happy, but finally sat down in silence.

After everyone was seated, the old man looked around, but said to me, "Miss Lin, it's just a light meal, and there are places where the hospitality is not good, please don't mind." ”

Following the old man's voice, I felt all the eyes fall on me in unison, and if those eyes had knives in them, I felt like I was going to be stabbed into honeycomb coals.

And I can understand it, the more the old man is deliberately polite, it just shows that he is more and more estranged, and I can understand the taste of needless to say.

Holding back the embarrassment and crampedness of those overturning the river and the sea, I tried to let myself smile lightly as if nothing happened, and I said: "It is already my honor for Mr. Yu to be so polite to me, how can I mind?"

The old man's face was slightly stunned, but this stunned look only lasted for a few seconds, and he quickly laughed and said: "I didn't expect that young people nowadays are very humorous, come on, let's move chopsticks." ”

The next meal, for me, is extremely restrained and long, even if the table is full of delicious food fragrant, I don't even remember what I ate and how much I ate, I just remember the whole process, the old man kept telling Chen Daowei what to eat more, saying that Chen Daowei had lost weight, and he told Cao Jiaying what supplements Uncle Xian stewed for her, so that her skin could be better by drinking more, and he even told Xiao Yan that he would go fishing together another day, and he liked to chat with Xiao Yan.

From beginning to end, facing Chen Daowei, Cao Jiaying, Xiao Yan, and all kinds of loving and doting old men, he never set his eyes on Yu Minghui, nor did he say a superfluous word to him, it seems that other people are more like his grandson, and Yu Minghui is a dispensable outsider to him.

Yes, he is like an outsider.

And Yu Minghui seems to have been used to this kind of scene for a long time, he will put food on me from time to time, he will always stuff food into his mouth, we are very close, I want to see his expression to twist my face, and it seems inappropriate to twist my body to look at him at the dining table, in short, I can't see his expression.

But I could feel that he wasn't really feeling better.

The dinner with a very different atmosphere was finally over.

Uncle Xian removed all the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the table, and brought the fruit.

The old man picked a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth, he stood up with a loud voice, he looked around again, and said: "Daowei, Jiaying, Xiaoyan, you accompany Minghui to play a game of billiards, which of you wins, wait a while, before leaving, you can come to my study to pick up a favorite thing to take away." ”

After a pause, the old man immediately looked at me, he was still polite, he said gently: "Miss Lin, I have recently come here with some good tea, you come with me to the study to taste it." ”

The aura is really nothing to do with the intonation, the severity of the tone, even if the old man speaks so gently, there is a kind of deterrent power in it, and I stood up unconsciously.

Yu Minghui also stood up with me.

After being silent for so long, he once again held my hand tightly, and he said to his grandfather: "Old man, it just so happens that I also want to taste tea, so let's go too, we didn't finish the game of chess last time, and we can finish it tonight." ”

The old man's eyes were half-narrowed, he squinted at Yu Minghui, and he still said in a faint tone: "Don't be in a hurry about playing chess, let's make an appointment with our grandfather and grandson another day." I just want to invite Miss Lin to taste these teas tonight, which is also a kind of attention to Miss Lin. Minghui, if you want to be so nervous, grandpa really doesn't know how to express his welcome to Miss Lin. ”

Even though the old and the young, the two men spoke ambiguously and always didn't seem to be on the shore, I also heard the implication that they were reluctant to compromise with each other.

For fear that Yu Minghui would stiffen again and again because of my relationship with my family, I stabbed his waist with my hand and pulled his clothes again.

Yu Minghui looked at me, then at the old man, who was about to speak, when the old man began to speak again.

The tone was so light that he couldn't be lighter, he said directly: "Minghui, look at Miss Lin, she is much more sensible than you." You can rest assured to play billiards, and you can play and enjoy yourself. As for this, what to say and what not to say, grandpa is very measured. If you want to keep your grandfather from having too much contact with Miss Lin, then you will really succeed in the future, and grandpa won't know how to get along with this granddaughter-in-law, right?"

After the old man finished speaking, he smiled at me again, and he said: "Miss Lin, can you also help me persuade Minghui from this bad old man, so that he doesn't be stubborn like a cow?" “

, isn't it true that the family doesn't enter the door! Why is this old man like that Fang Qingqing, he likes to throw hot potatoes into my hands!

And in this case, he threw it at me, and even if he burned me to death, I would have to catch it!

Patiently, I pushed Yu Minghui, I pretended to be calm and smiled at him and said, "I think without you by my side, I will be more comfortable when I drink tea with Mr. Yu, so don't come to join in the fun, let's go play billiards with them." ”

Afraid that Yu Minghui would still be stubborn, I winked at him.

He seemed helpless, but he finally compromised with me.

Seeing Yu Minghui make a concession, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and he turned to me and said, "Then Miss Lin, let's go have tea." ”

I followed him through the long hallway, and finally he stopped at the very end of the door and gently pushed it open.

I just glanced at it, and my heart trembled several times.

What a study this is!

Speaking of a good study, I didn't see a single book, but I saw all kinds of sabers, bear claw self-defense daggers, fighting knives and combat knives, etc., which were full of variety. These cold steel products exude those bright and shining lights, which make people feel chilly when they look at them.

Just as I was shaking my head, the old man said lightly: "Miss Lin, please come inside." ”

I had just sat down when Uncle Xian came over with two cups of tea and a fruit bowl, and he put them down in silence, then slowly withdrew and closed the door.

The sound insulation effect of this door is really good, and after such a burly person as Uncle Xian walked out, I was stunned that I didn't hear his footsteps.

In this sealed space full of all kinds of knives, I was actually very panicked, but I had to suppress it, pretending to be calm and sitting there, waiting for the old man to speak first.

Coughing lightly, the old man glanced at me, and he slowly said, "Miss Lin, please drink tea." ”

Following his beckoning, I picked up the cup of tea that had been placed in front of me and took a sip.

I was about to put the cup down, but the old man said lightly: "Miss Lin, otherwise guess how much the teacup in your hand is worth?"

Because he said that, I wandered my gaze to the teacup in my hand.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the antique color of this teacup did not look like a replica, and it seemed to be really old.

Just as I could see it, the old man said again, "Miss Lin, how much do you think this cup is worth?"

Gently pausing the teacup in my hand on the coffee table, I raised my eyes, pretended to be very calm, and smiled softly: "Mr. Yu, I really don't have much research on this kind of thing, and I can't guess how much it is worth." However, it seems that it should be quite expensive. ”

The old man smiled abruptly.

Different from the warm smile in the hall just now, this time he smiled meaningfully, such a smile lingered on his face for nearly a minute before it was slowly withdrawn, after laughing, he turned to stare at me, and said lightly: "Which university did Miss Lin graduate from?"

My fingers twisted together unconsciously, and after a while, I whispered, "I'm only going to graduate from high school." ”

didn't comment much on my answer, and the look on his face didn't have much waves, and the old man continued: "It seems that Miss Lin is talented, although she doesn't read much, she has a good understanding, and she is a girl with pursuits. ”

This sentence sounds like a compliment on the surface, but when you think about it, you always feel a little awkward.

But seeing through it without saying it is also a kind of literacy.

So I smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for the compliment." ”

The old man was still unfazed, he continued to stare at me and was silent for a while, and then he said slowly: "Miss Lin, although we meet for the first time today, I feel that you are a smart girl, and you know very well what you can afford and what you can't afford." I'm a bad old man, and I'm also a civilized person, but civilization is civilized, I think when you young people fall in love, just run for your feelings, you can ignore anything, and you can also put aside practical problems. But when it comes to marriage, I personally prefer to be the right person. I'm not saying that a marriage with the wrong family will be unhappy, but if two people are at the same level from the beginning, it will be easier to achieve happiness. Miss Lin, do you agree with my bad old man?"
