It was eleven years ago.

She and her father, who was transferred to Nanjing a few years ago, returned to their home in Beijing three days early to participate in this friendship organized by their fathers.

At that time, her parents were still divorced, and her mother/relatives were still by her side. She put on the cheongsam that her mother bought for her when she was in Nanjing, looked in the mirror for a long time in the room, and walked out of the room after asking her mother to confirm that she had nothing wrong with wearing this outfit.

It is said to be a banquet, but in fact, it is more like a Western drinking party. Most of the people who came here were people with similar backgrounds and similar living environments.

After leaving the room, go to the front room. The banquet that started at five o'clock in the evening has come one after another. She was still hesitating whether to go for a bite to eat, and her mother/relatives beside her, who had already seen someone, walked a few steps quickly, and went up to say hello.

She found a place to stand, and her eyes searched the crowd, searching for her mother's figure. The crystal lamp overhead, emitting a bright light, illuminates the entire hall as if it were day, and the corner where the light is difficult to reach, leaves a faint shadow. In that looming, flickering light, she saw Ren Pingsheng.

He sat there, his body slightly lighted, shadows falling down, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. He tilted his neck, perhaps lowered slightly, listened to what his companion said, nodded from time to time, but did not interject, only listened quietly. Sometimes, he laughs, but he laughs, but there is no joy in his eyes. Whatever he says, it seems to be irrelevant. Even the person in front of him, as if, has nothing to do with him.

Who is he?

"Ren Pingsheng. Suddenly, someone patted him on the back shoulder, it was Xu Han. "It's nice to finally see a real person. Without waiting for Guangxi to answer, Xu Han made an extremely exaggerated expression: "It's so handsome." "She is four years old, and girls at this age are the most likely to commit nymphomaniac.

Guangxi pursed his lower lip: It turns out that he is Ren Pingsheng. This name, she heard from Xu Han's mother: The youngest son of the Ren family was born to Uncle Ren and a woman outside. After his mother died, Grandpa Ren took him from Nanjing and raised him by his side. It didn't take long for him to be sent out of the country.

Xu Han was still whispering in her ear: "I forgot, my little Guangxi, you still don't know what handsome means." He also explained to her in a matter-of-fact manner: "It's just good-looking, it's as good-looking as Jack." "She has recently become obsessed with "Titanic", and she took her to watch it two days ago.

Mitsuki nodded, just understood.

She hasn't talked much since she was a child, and her mind is in her stomach, only a girl like Xu Han who is very smug doesn't mind her, and is willing to be friends with her. As she grew older, she gradually became sensible, and Xu Han would also teach her some truths, she listened to them, and sometimes wrote them down in her notebook, remembering them very seriously. At this time, if she wants to continue the topic, she has to find something to say: "Why did you come back here today?" Xu Han is the daughter of her uncle, and she can often hear them talking about her uncle from her parents, and in her words, she is extremely dissatisfied with him. It can be said that the uncle is the most unlearned person in the Xu family's generation. A long time ago, after the grandfather paid off the last debt for him, he ordered that the uncle was not allowed to step into this house for half a step, and the uncle's whereabouts are still unknown. But grandpa is very good to Xu Han and her mother/relatives. On this occasion, their orphans and widows must be criticized again, even if it is a pity for others, it is also a kind of injury, so grandpa greeted them in advance, if you don't want to come, you can not come.

Guangxi has never seen Xu Han attend several official occasions outside the Xu family, so he has this question.

"Because I know that a few little brothers from the National Dance Troupe will come over today. Don't you know, they all look like ...... Handsome. Xu Han is poor.

She knew that the national dance troupe directly affiliated with the Military Region's Art Troupe returned to Beijing today after finishing the Russian show. Next Friday, they will perform the last show at Peking University, and her mother is going to take her to see it.

Xu Han sighed and said, "Fortunately, my mother received the people from the dance troupe this time, and I knew that Ren Pingsheng was actually inside." Then since he came to Beijing, there is no reason why he should come to this friendship. He is the child of Uncle Ren's family. ”

Xu Han's wisdom, from childhood to adulthood, has always made her very envious, and hearing her go around with her like this, Guangxi is even more impressed.

Xu Han continued to talk, mostly about Ren Pingsheng, she listened very carefully, more seriously than in class. At this time, my mother finished toasting and came to her, "Xiao Han is also here." ”

Xu Han called Auntie, and then pulled him by Guangxi to say hello to someone.

Finally, it was all over again, and Xu Han stuck out his tongue at her to say that he was tired to death, and it was not Ren Pingsheng's turn yet. Finally, he walked over, not far from him, but his mother turned to another boy from the dance troupe who was sitting with him.

When an elder comes, they sit together, and they all get up as a sign of politeness. Xu Guangxi found out that he actually grew so tall, probably, a head and a half taller than Xu Han?

She greeted them one by one, "Ren ......" Uncle or brother? Xu Han seemed to like him very much, well, calling uncle more respectful. So he called: "Uncle Ren is good." Then, several of the older boys in the dance troupe became "uncles".

As soon as she called her like this, Xu Han was the same generation as her, so she had to lower her head and follow her to call her uncle, and when she arrived at Ren Pingsheng, she was embarrassed to scream. Those boys in their twenties, who were called uncles by a little girl, had some sarcastic expressions on their faces. Xu Han's face turned even redder. Ren Pingsheng, who didn't care much, casually took a wine candy from the table, stuffed it into her hand, and touched her head: "Good." ”

Mom subconsciously blocked Ren Pingsheng's hand with her arm, as if she realized that she was a little rude to do so, lowered her body, and used that arm to straighten the collar for Guangxi, and cut her hair. Xu Han, who was on the side, chuckled in his heart and secretly glanced at Ren Pingsheng.

Guangxi felt that her mother was a little unnatural just now, and faintly felt that Ren Pingsheng would be unhappy, so she slightly broke her mother's fingers and looked at him through the gap between her fingers. He still looked indifferent, cold and cold. That hand, however, was already tucked into his trouser pocket.

Later, she learned from Xu Han the reason why her mother was unhappy, "Although I took it home, in the final analysis, I was still an illegitimate child." ”

She recalled that at the banquet at that time, her mother pulled her to greet Aunt Ren Ping'an, and that enthusiasm had never been seen here in Ren Pingsheng.

But somehow, she just likes to be with him, like some kind of blind date.

She tore open the wine candy and took a small bite, which was very sweet.
