"Big brother, don't think that you don't have to invite me to dinner by pretending to be pitiful, tell you that there is no door, I am about to starve to death!" Li Nuan said deliberately fiercely, successfully making Li Zihan focus on Li Nuan. m.

"Okay, Nuan Nuan, how can the eldest brother bear to be hungry for you? Today, you can order casually, the eldest brother is in for a treat!" Li Zihan rubbed Li Nuan's hair, and the doting in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Waiter ......"

In the Xu family's villa, Xu Yan and Liu Zhan had just returned from the pastry crash course, and they were shocked by the strange atmosphere in the villa.

"Miss, Mr. Xu has been locking himself in the study since he came back, and he refused to come out no matter how we called, and he lost his temper with us. He didn't even eat dinner, so let's see what's going on. Helen said and looked in the direction of the study upstairs, with a little fear in her eyes.

"What's wrong with your eldest brother? Menopause is early?" Liu Zhan, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said this, which made Helen burst out laughing, but soon held back and quit the restaurant to continue to be busy with other affairs.

"Don't talk nonsense, I guess there's something annoying, big brother rarely does this, and he usually treats his subordinates with respect, but this time it's really annoying. Xu Yan glanced at the closed study door upstairs, her eyes full of worry.

"I asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup for him, and it just so happened that there were some pastries and snacks left over from our training class, and I would give them to him later. Xu Yan withdrew her gaze and walked towards the kitchen.

"Then I'll go up and talk to him first. Liu Zhan said hello to Xu Yan, and went up the stairs to the second floor and came to the door of the study.

"Knock knock" politely three times, but there was no movement in the house, Liu Zhan knocked three more times without giving up, and there was a sound in the house, but it was greeted with a sentence of suppressed anger and strong wind.

"I said don't bother me, don't you understand?" Xu Hua said and opened the door suddenly, and when he saw that there was no one at the door and Liu Zhan, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by anger again, and went straight to the house, leaving Liu Zhan with an angry back.

"Why are you so angry?Did anyone provoke you?" Liu Zhan shook his head helplessly, turned around and closed the door when he entered the room, came to the chair opposite Xu Hua's desk and sat down, quietly looking at Xu Hua who was smoking.

It was the first time he had seen Xu Hua smoking, even if Yanyan hadn't seen him smoke a cigarette when he was hospitalized, but this time he picked up a cigarette, and it wasn't one or two. There were no less than twenty cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray in front of Xu Hua, and he took another one in his hand.

"I'm getting married. Xu Hua took a hard puff of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke. In the mist. Xu Hua's tight chin and gloomy eyes didn't seem so real, giving birth to a decadent sex appeal for no reason.

"I'm rubbing, don't you have a girlfriend?Why are you getting married so soon?With whom?" Liu Zhan was so shocked that his jaw was about to dislocate, and his eyes widened and he looked at Xu Hua in the smoke in surprise.

"Business marriage, the other party is my benefactor's granddaughter, if I remember correctly, she should be called Li Nuan. Xu Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and he took another puff of cigarette.

"No wonder, it turned out to be a business marriage. Liu Zhan manually pushed back his chin that was almost shocked, and looked at Xu Hua with sympathy in his eyes.

"Wait, what's that girl's name?"

"Li Nuan, have you listened carefully when I talk to you?" Xu Hua was about to stretch out his hand to punch Liu Zhan as he spoke, but Liu Zhan dodged him.

"Does she still have a brother named Li Zihan?" Liu Zhan sat up straight, looking at Xu Hua with a little anxiety in his eyes.

"Yes, how do you know?" Xu Hua looked at Liu Zhan in surprise, curious why Liu Zhan knew Li Nuan's brother's name.

Liu Zhan told Xu Hua everything that happened in the haunted house that day, and Xu Hua fell silent and continued to smoke without saying a word.

"Squeak", the door was pushed open, and the eyes of Liu Zhan and Xu Hua were handed to Xu Yan who pushed the door in at the door at the same time, and she also held a tray in her hand.

"Big brother, why are you smoking again? Didn't I tell you that smoking is not good, why don't you listen to me?" Xu Yan turned around and saw the cigarette in Xu Hua's hand and the ashtray piled up like a hill in front of the desk, her eyes sank, and she quickened her pace to the desk and put down the dinner plate.

"It's all confiscated, no smoking, if you're smoking, I'll ignore you!" Xu Yan said as she reached out and snatched the cigarette from Xu Hua's hand, and forcefully extinguished it in the ashtray, which made her attitude a little better.

"I heard Helen say that you didn't have dinner tonight, and you had a fire, what the hell is going on? Is there something in the company that is difficult to solve?" Xu Yan asked Xu Hua while putting the white fungus lotus seed soup on the dinner plate, but Xu Hua has not opened her mouth since she came in.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, I'm in a bad mood. ”

Seeing Xu Yan's hand shaking in front of him, Xu Hua finally spoke and picked up the spoon in the bowl in front of him.

"I don't believe it!" Xu Yan said viciously to Xu Hua while opening the paper bag to reveal the snacks inside. "You haven't smoked so much every time you're in a bad mood, and you've never said a word to Helen or them, you can't just be in a bad mood!"

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

In the face of Xu Yan's words, Xu Hua opened his mouth and didn't speak, but Liu Zhan pulled Xu Yan into his arms and asked her to sit down, whispering something in her ear.

"What?"

Xu Yan suddenly made a cold sound, which made Xu Hua, who was drinking white fungus soup, fall into the bowl with a frightened spoon.

"Do you mean that the eldest brother is getting married? or with Li Nuan?"

In the face of Xu Yan's surprise, Xu Hua already had some preparations in his heart, so he didn't have much emotion, just threw a snack into his mouth, and continued to drink white fungus soup.

Xu Yan looked at Xu Hua with a surprised expression, but Xu Hua just ate calmly, as if the protagonist was not him.

"Big brother, can you have a snack? Don't eat it, you put down the spoon first!" Seeing that Xu Hua was still immersed in eating, Xu Yan finally couldn't help but explode, and struggled out of Liu Zhan's arms to snatch the bowl from Xu Hua's hand.

Xu Hua didn't struggle with Xu Yan's snatching, but when Xu Yan was about to take the bowl out, she pretended to be pitiful and said weakly: "Yanyan, I'm so hungry, my stomach hurts a little." ”

The corners of Xu Yan's mouth twitched, and in the end, she couldn't resist Xu Hua's aggrieved expression, and handed the bowl to Xu Hua again.

"Big brother, have you really thought about getting married? Are you sure that you have let go of Lin Anwan and can re-devote yourself to a new relationship?"

"Click", the spoon in Xu Hua's hand fell into the bowl and made a crisp sound, Xu Yan's words made Xu Hua, whose face had improved, suddenly stunned in place, his face was gloomy again, and the temperature around the room began to drop.

"Big brother, big brother?" Xu Yan seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly squatted in front of Xu Hua and patted his hand gently. After a long time, Xu Hua finally raised his hanging head, and his eyes were scarlet.

"Yanyan," Xu Hua's voice was a little hoarse, with some imperceptible pain, "Don't mention her, I will never let her go! ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little weird, and in the silence, Xu Hua reached out and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it to his mouth, but this time Xu Yan didn't stop it, just frowned and looked at Xu Hua's side face.

"Yanyan, you and Liu Zhan go out first, the marriage is true, and the specific reason will be told to you another day, let me be alone now, okay?" In the end, Xu Hua's voice was already trembling and a trace of imperceptible pain, which made Xu Yan's heart clench.

Liu Zhan cleaned up the plates and bowls on the desk, and pushed Xu Yan, who was not worried about Xu Hua, out of the study door, leaving Xu Hua with peace and enough space.

"Yanyan, who is Lin Anwan, why is it so painful to mention him, your eldest brother?" Liu Zhan said as he hugged Xu Yan and went downstairs.

"Alas, Lin Anwan is my brother's ex-girlfriend, if it weren't for the fact that she saved my brother in that car accident, Anwan would not have died, she might even have married her brother, and she might have had a cute and healthy baby. Xu Yan glanced back at the closed study door deeply, and thought of Lin Anwan's painful appearance when she mentioned Lin Anwan, and her eyes were full of worry.

……

In the study on the second floor, Xu Hua, whose eyes were scarlet, hid himself behind the thick smoke, and his eyes were blurred and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ah Hua, I love you. ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, a soft female voice suddenly came from Xu Hua's ears, like a sigh and like the wind. Xu Hua raised his head sharply and looked back and forth in the study.

"Ann night, I miss you so much. After looking around and not finding the shadow he missed, Xu Hua leaned back on the back of the chair and continued to smoke the cigarette in his hand.

Reaching out to extinguish the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, Xu Hua's hand reached into a locked drawer at the bottom of the desk, and took out a locked iron box from the drawer. Xu Hua couldn't control his hand, he kept trembling, and he opened a small lock for five minutes before he could open it.

Finally, the box was opened, and I was greeted by a few photos that had been slightly yellowed, as well as all sorts of small bits and pieces.

The girl in the photo is smiling very happily, with two shallow pear vortices on her cheeks, long black straight hair falling down like a waterfall, and a faint happiness between her eyebrows.

Second, third, fourth...... The girl in each photo smiled faintly like this, looking at Xu Hua intently, which made Xu Hua's eyes red.

"Ann night, I'm getting married, why don't you stop me?" Xu Hua's voice was choked, but the curtain that was slightly lifted by the wind in response to him was only the smiling girl in the photo.
