"How can I be a fool again, how can I fall again in the same place, doesn't this mean that I never got up?" Cheng Xunxun laughed at himself, raised his head sideways to look at Yu Xuejun, and said with a smile: "You all warned me one by one, and I also remember it deeply in my mind, and I swore when I went back before, but the result was that I lost my armor and came back, what a shame." After so many years and so many vaccinations, I still lost, I really ......"

She didn't say any more, just laughed self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down the fluctuations in her heart.

Yu Xuejun sighed secretly, stretched out his hand to comb her hair, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Who said that you came back with a discarded armor, didn't you come back with a good look? ”

"In the middle of the decade, many things do not necessarily have to win or lose, like you are now is the best choice, the success or failure of being a person depends on whether you can let go of your obsession at a critical time. If you let go, there is no so-called winning or losing, and your life will definitely come to an end and be much happier. Can you understand? Since you have forgotten the past, all the hatred and resentment, you have forgotten, why do you want to cling to it?"

Yu Xuejun's eyes were gentle, and he said with a smile: "There are few people in this world who can have such a chance to start over." In the middle of the year, you have to cherish it, time will help you, don't look back at the past. ”

Cheng Xunxun looked at him for a moment, nodded with a chuckle, and said, "Yes, time will help me, what is past should be let pass, and I came back because I chose to let go." ”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, leaned on his shoulder, and smiled, "Fortunately, I still have a shelter, and I'm still lucky." ”

Yu Xuejun smiled slightly, reached out and patted the back of her hand.

"Dad, I want to get married. ”

"Okay, I'll help you with the staff. ”

"I figured it out, I'm going to open a private bakery. Well, the store doesn't need to be too big, I'm afraid of losing too much money. Although you are my father, I don't want to lose, after all, it's your home, and I'm a little embarrassed to lose more. Cheng Xunxun said with a smile, and his tone was mostly joking.

Yu Xuejun raised his hand and patted her on the head. whispered: "Dad has private money." ”

When Cheng Xunxun heard this, he immediately straightened his back, his mouth was O-shaped, and he looked at him with wide eyes. Yu Xuejun pursed his lips and smiled, raised his hand and made a silent gesture. Immediately, Cheng Xunxun showed another expression of sudden realization, then covered his mouth and snickered, and shrugged his eyebrows, "Dad, you are bad, you actually hide private money." ”

As she spoke, she fell down again, this time on Yu Xuejun's lap, and stopped moving after a mutter, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Yu Xuejun and said, "Dad." Tell me a bedtime story. ”

Yu Xuejun was stunned, Cheng Xunjun turned his head back, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Say whatever you want, say anything." ”

Cheng Xunjun waited for a while, Yu Xuejun told his bedtime story, she raised her lips, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep in Yu Xuejun's story.

Yu Xuejun's story stopped halfway through, and lightly pulled the quilt on the side to cover Cheng Xunxun, placed it on the bed, and then turned off the light and walked out of the room. Chen Yujian's door was open, the lights were on in the room, and when Yu Xuejun passed by the door, he glanced inside.

Just as Chen Yujian came out, the two took a look at each other, Yu Xuejun nodded at him and said, "I fell asleep in the middle of the year." ”

Chen Yujian nodded and asked, "Do you want to go back now?"

Yu Xuejun glanced him up and down, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

"I'll send you. ”

"It's fine. ”

After speaking, the two went downstairs one after the other, Yu Xuejun's people were waiting downstairs, and when they saw them coming down, they immediately went to wait outside the door.

"Wait a minute. Chen Yujian said, then walked to the kitchen and took a bag of things out. Yu Xuejun had already changed his shoes and stood at the door, he walked over, handed him the bag, and said, "This is what I told me before the end of the month, if she is drunk and doesn't care about giving it to you, let me give it to you, it's all her own things." ”

Yu Xuejun glanced at him, stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "This kid is really ingenious. ”

Chen Yujian pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes, and didn't say much.

Yu Xuejun carried the bag, turned around and raised his hand to hold the doorknob, but did not push the door open and went out, stood for a moment, glanced back at Chen Yujian, and asked, "When will you go back to Luancheng?"

"I'll be gone in a few days. Chen Yujian said.

Yu Xuejun looked at him a few times, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, you can rest early." ”

"Good. Chen Yujian answered, sent him to the door, and stood in front of the door all the time, watching Yu Xuejun get into the car, the car drove away, and then he went back to the house and closed the door.

He was before going back to his room. walked to the door of Cheng Xunxun's room, looked at the closed door, and stood for a long time before reaching out and turning the doorknob, and gently pushed it in, the room was dark and very quiet. He walked in lightly, walked to the bedside, and reached for the lamp at the bedside.

Cheng Xunxun curled up sideways and lay on the bed, his face was stable, and there was a slight smile on his lips, thinking that he was in a sweet dream. Chen Yujian bent down and sat down, reached out and touched her cheek, Cheng Xunxun unconsciously shrank into the quilt, turned around, and faced him.

His fingers caressed her face, from her eyebrows to her lips, inch by inch, carefully brushed, a smile slowly appeared on his lips, and after a while, he lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead, helped her cover up the quilt, and got up and left, as if he had never come in before.

Cheng Xunxi drank too much, and she couldn't get up the next day, and when she woke up in a daze, washed up, and came out of the room, she found that it was already evening. She went downstairs, Chen Yujian was preparing dinner in the kitchen, she knocked her head while walking to the kitchen door, saw him inside, stopped, leaned sideways against the door frame, and said, "Why don't you come to wake me up." ”

As soon as her words fell, a woman's voice sounded behind her, "Miss Xun, you are up." ”

Probably sleeping too much, Cheng Xunxun's head is still a little dizzy, and when he heard the sound, he glanced back, only to see a woman in professional clothes, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, looking at her with a smile.

Cheng Xunxun frowned, looked her up and down carefully, then turned his head, looked at Chen Yujian, and asked, "Who is this person?

Without waiting for Chen Yujian to speak, the woman behind her took the initiative to introduce herself and said, "Hello, my name is Mi Lai, you can call me Emily, or you can call me Mi Lai." I was sent by Mr. Yu to take care of you. ”

Cheng Xunxun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, still at a loss, looked at Chen Yujian and said, "What is the old man going to do?"

"If you don't believe me, you can give Mr. Yu a call. ”

Cheng Xunxun glanced back at her, snorted, snorted twice, and said, "Am I talking to you? She said, gesturing to her head.

Chen Yujian wiped the water from his hands, walked to Cheng Xunxun's side, and said with a smile: "Mi Lai is indeed sent by Mr. Yu to take care of you, I can't stay here all the time, there must be someone to take care of you, and you will be bored if you stay here alone, it's good to have someone around you to talk to you." ”

"I don't need it. Cheng Xunxun waved his hand, grabbed his messy hair, walked straight to the living room, and said, "Besides, I won't be alone all the time, I have already put my marriage plan on the table, and soon, you will be able to drink my wedding wine." There are many people around, and it's troublesome to fall in love, in case I want to bring people back, it's too much of a hindrance, don't you say?"

Cheng Xunxun put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked to the living room, took an apple from the fruit bowl and nibbled on it, glanced sideways at Mi Lai, and said, "You go back and tell Mr. Yu that I don't need you to take care of me." ”

Mi Lai continued to smile on his face and said, "Well, it's better for you to tell Mr. Yu in person, I only listen to the boss's orders." ”

Cheng Xunxun nodded, his eyes fell on the TV screen, and when he was about to say something, Chen Yujian interjected horizontally and said: "Let Mi Lai stay for the time being, you can be your assistant, don't you want to open a private bakery?" I think Mr. Yu sent Mi Lai over, not only to take care of you, but also to help you. ”

She pursed her lips, swallowed the apple in her mouth, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Okay then, then let her stay first." By the way, can I eat? I'm so hungry. ”

Her gaze fell on Mi Lai's body, obviously asking her.

As soon as Chen Yujian wanted to speak, Cheng Xunxuan immediately stopped him, "Don't speak." ”

Chen Yujian shrugged her eyebrows, looked at her almost threatening eyes, closed her mouth, turned around and walked away. Mi Lai glanced at Chen Yujian, still remained calm, smiled at Cheng Xunxun, pointed to the kitchen door, and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

After speaking. She immediately walked to the kitchen without stopping for a moment. Cheng Xunxun sat on the sofa and glanced in the direction of the kitchen from time to time. Chen Yujian looked at her like that, couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "People are still very professional, so don't play with her." ”

"Hey, why am I playing with her? What are you doing, are you pitying the jade?"

"Of course, after all, it's a big-wave beauty. ”

Cheng Xunxun squinted his eyes, snorted, and said, "Beasts, people dress so conservatively, they let you see your chest, the world is so dangerous." I'll have to remind her. With that, she got up, made excuses for herself, and walked to the kitchen door.

Mi Lai is indeed quite professional, at least a woman who went to the kitchen. Of course, this person was arranged by Yu Xuejun, and Cheng Xunxun did not doubt her ability and professional quality at all.

She stood at the door for a while, then took her apron and walked in, hugged her from behind, tied her apron, and pinched her breasts, which were very soft and very material. Mi Lai was startled by her actions, and reflexively bumped her elbow back.

Cheng Xunxun didn't have time to dodge, so he hit her stomach hard, the painful Cheng Xunxun bent over, took a breath of cool air, and then before Cheng Xunxun could react, her wrist was buckled by her, and it was cut behind her in an instant.

Cheng Xunxun screamed twice, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, saying, "Damn, you still have skills." ”

Mi Lai saw that it was her. Immediately let go of his hand, and his face changed, "Why are you?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it is? Chen Yujian? He wouldn't do such a thing. Cheng Xunxun's painful facial features were distorted, he rubbed his wrists, glanced at her, and said, "Hey, I hugged you from behind just now, didn't you feel the soft part of my chest!

Cheng Xunxun scolded, Chen Yujian walked in when he heard the sound, and seeing Cheng Xunxun's painful look, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, saying, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xunxun deliberately put on a crying face, pointed at Mi Lai and said, "She beat me." ”

Mi Lai couldn't say that he was suffering, and he didn't know how to explain the current situation at all, so he hesitated for a long time before he popped up, "I...... I didn't. ”

Chen Yujian's gaze swept around the faces of the two, and finally landed on Cheng Xunxun's face, frowned slightly, and said, "What's going on?"

"They all said that she hit me, and you can see that my wrists are red. Cheng Xunxun said, and stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, like a child, looking like he was suing in front of his parents, pouting, and saying, "I'm going to call my dad, this person can't do it, beat people." ”

"Miss Cheng, I really didn't mean it, everything just now was an instinctive action, and I learned a little self-defense, so ...... So please don't do anything like a hooligan. Mi Lai lowered his eyes, and the expression on his face became serious, but the whole person was a lot calmer.

Chen Yujian raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Mi Lai, and then looked at Cheng Xunxun. Then he reached out and pulled her aside, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Xunxun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll tie an apron for her personally, by the way......" She said this, raised her eyes to look at him, smiled and leaned to his ear, and said softly; "Didn't you say that she has big breasts, I touched it with my hand, the material is very sufficient, not the pad, how can your eyes be like X-rays, look at one accurately." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped him on the chest, snorted, squinted, pointed to his nose, and said, "Honestly." Why are you so experienced? Did you do a lot of unsavory things behind my back, or are you not relatives and friends anymore? You don't share them with me, it's not interesting enough. ”

Chen Yujian's face turned red and white when she said it, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat her head, and whispered, "You give me something serious." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, Cheng Xunxun quickly hugged his head, and dodged it in time, then stuck out his tongue at him, smiled shortly, drilled out from his side, and said to Mi Lai: "You, you, move quickly, I'm hungry, I haven't eaten for a day." ”

"Good. Mi Lai nodded, and said respectfully, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you tell me the secret of your breast enlargement, I won't blame you. She rubbed her wrist. When he turned to go out, he winked at Mi Lai, and then gestured with his eyes, saying, "Hey, be careful of him, his eyes are the same as X-rays, no matter how much you wear, he can see through it at a glance." ”

She raised her hand and pointed to her eyes, then to her proud breasts, and then went out with a smile, leaving the two of them alone in the kitchen.

Mi Lai's face flushed when he heard the sound, he glared at Chen Yujian sideways, looked down at his chest, and then turned around quietly, his tone was cold and cold, and he didn't sound very friendly, and said, "Mr. Chen go out and wait, and leave it to me here." ”

Chen Yujian frowned, originally wanted to explain, but looking at Mi Lai's attitude, it was useless to want to explain, so he didn't bother to say anything, reminded him a little, and went out.

Cheng Xunxun stood not far away to watch a good show, and when he saw him come out, he immediately sat down and made a look that he didn't care about himself.

Chen Yujian didn't bother to say more to her, just stretched out his hand and pointed at her, and went upstairs. Cheng Xunxun hugged his stomach on the sofa and laughed for a while, and then stopped laughing, only lying on the sofa and watching TV.

After looking at it for a while, I felt bored, got up and went to the kitchen again, and said, "It's so boring, I'll do it with you." What is your specialty?"

Mi Lai was a little wary of her, kept a certain distance from her, and said: "What I am best at is marketing, and another specialty I am will do pastry." Pretty much all of me in the cake shop. I used to open a cake shop and the business was good. ”

"Wow, my dad is so efficient. Your name is Mi Lai, right? Hello, my name is Cheng Xunxun, and you can call me Xunxun in the future. Cheng Xunxun wiped the water on his hands and stretched out his hand at her, his face full of friendliness.

This change in mood made Mi Lai a little unable to keep up with her rhythm.

With inquiry in her eyes, she looked Cheng Xunxun up and down for a while, and then slowly stretched out her hand, held her hand, and said, "Hello." ”

"We're supposed to be about the same age, right? Mind being friends? It's a little unfriendly just now, I hope you don't mind. If you mind, I'll tell you I'm sorry. Cheng Xunxun was respectful, and he turned around and bowed to her.

"No, no, I can see that you have no ill intentions. ”

Cheng Xunxun walked to her side with a smile, bumped her with his arm, and said with a smile: "No wonder you are so plump, it turns out that you were a pastry chef before." ”

The corners of Mi Lai's mouth twitched twice, smiled, and said, "No, I was born so plump." ”

Cheng Xunxun felt very regretful, she originally wanted to ask for a secret, but she glanced at her chest with regret.

Mi Lai smiled, leaned into her ear, and said with a smile: "There is still a secret, I will tell you later." ”

Cheng Xunxun smiled, with a bright smile.

Yu Xuejun is very good at picking people, Mi Lai's personality is very compatible with Cheng Xunxi, and after a while, they became friends, and Chen Yujian was separated. Their topic, he is a man, and he can't be inserted at all.

Thinking about it, what Yu Xuejun wants to see is such a scene, one day Cheng Xunxun is no longer alone with Chen Yujian, she can have many friends. Soon he will be able to ignore her only relative and friend because of others.

Chen Yujian looked at them, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to eat.

……

On the first day of the first lunar month, the Song family went up the mountain to worship their ancestors and took Xiaonuo with them.

Song Peili asked Xiao Nuo to kowtow in front of Song Xuejin's grave, in such a solemn atmosphere, Xiao Nuo's childish face also became very serious, and he looked up at An Yu, Zhou Yanqing did not come up this time because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet.

An Yu said, "Go over, this is your grandfather." ”

Xiao Nuo cautiously passed, then knelt down, and bowed in front of Song Xuejin's grave according to Song Peili's request, he worshiped very seriously, and this immature little face showed such a serious expression. It looks so cute.

"Alright, Xiaonuo, come here. An Yu squatted aside, saw him kowtow three times, and beckoned him back to his side, when the little hand pinched her, her heart was soft, looking at his serious appearance, smiled slightly, took out a tissue from the bag, wiped his hands, and dusted off his pants, and said: "Xiao Nuo is really good, very good." ”

Arnold grinned at her, then reached out and hugged her neck.

He Jiali stood in front of Song Nanmu's tombstone for a long time, her eyes were red and red, Song Jing patted her shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad." You are like this, how can Nanmu feel at ease. ”

He Jiali reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "You go back first, I still want to stay here for a while." ”

"Sister-in-law. ”

Song Jing still wanted to persuade her, so Song Peili came over and said, "You guys go back first, I'll wait with Carrie for a while." ”

Song Jing turned her head to look at him, thought about it, looked at He Jiali again, nodded, and said, "Okay then, let's go first." ”

Song Peili nodded.

Then, Song Jing and the others left the cemetery.

The cold wind ruffled their hair and made their cheeks cold.

He Jiali endured it for a long time, but after all, she couldn't help shedding tears, she took a deep breath and whispered: "Old Song, I really can't accept Nanmu's death." Why is this happening, why is it all over? Obviously, at that time, everything was over, why did he rush back to the United States, I should have stopped him in the first place, if I had stopped him, this would not have happened, so that he would not even have a complete corpse. ”

As she spoke, she took a deep breath, her face became very ugly, she closed her eyes, and her body shook slightly.

Song Peili stepped forward, stopped her shoulder, and comforted her softly, saying, "This has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself." ”

He Jiali looked at the photo of Song Nanmu on the tombstone, her heart hurt for a while, and tears fell uncontrollably. He turned his head sideways, buried his cheek in his chest, and was silent for a while, before slowly looking up and asking, "Are we wrong?"

Song Peili glanced down at him, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said, "What is wrong with us? Who caused all this? Who caused our pain?"

He snorted coldly, with a hint of hatred in his tone, and said: "Nanmu's death is not all because of the woman of the Zhou family! Nanmu suffered so much damage for that Zhou Chan, and in the end it was because of her death! The people of the Zhou and Tang families were born to come to us, as long as we have a little relationship with them, the people of our Song family will not have a good life!"

"Nanmu is like this, and Yan Qing is like this! In short, I will not let Yan Qing repeat the mistakes of the past and become the second Nanmu! I must not let him be hurt in any way because of a woman!"

He Jiali's voice trembled slightly, glanced at him, and said, "What are you going to do?"

"You don't have to worry about that, you just have to live a good life and be happy. I will never let the people of the two families hurt us again, absolutely not! If they hurt us again, I must return it to them a hundred times!" Song Peili's eyes were slightly deep, and the waves under his eyes were unfathomable.

He Jiali stood up straight, looked at the cold tombstone in front of her, and said, "I don't want to see any of us have another accident, not one of us." Old Song, you can't either. ”

"I will always be there for you and protect you well. Song Peili reached out and grabbed her shoulder and squeezed it gently.

He Jiali raised her hand and patted his hand, tilting her head slightly. smiled at him, nodded, and said, "I know, I know, I want to protect this family with you." ”

Aunt Yueyue arrived at the old house in the afternoon, and when Zhou Yanqing saw her, she was a little surprised, An Yu said: "Nuo Nuo needs someone to take care of her, and he has been noisily asking me Aunt Yueyue, so I called Xiaoyue, she said she could go to work, so I called her." Xiaonuo has always been taking care of her, and the relationship is very good, if you suddenly change his aunt like this, he will not get used to it. ”

Zhou Yanqing nodded and said, "You're right, but I think it's only a matter of time before children get used to being alone." When he has been with another person for a long time, he will forget his predecessors, and children are much more forgetful than adults. ”

Hearing this, the smile on An Yu's face faded, and he said, "What you said is." But now Nuno has been clamoring for Aunt Yueyue, and since he said it, I can do it, so I will naturally get someone here. What's wrong?Do you have anything you don't like about Satsuki?Or, you can find the aunt you found for Xiaonuo before. ”

"After all, we can't accompany Xiaonuo all the time, there must be someone by his side to take care of it, so that we can rest assured. An Yu looked at Xiao Nuo and Aunt Yueyue not far away, and said with a smile: "Look, Xiao Nuo is so happy." ”

"Well, yes. Zhou Yanqing nodded and didn't say anything more.

At night, Zhou Yanqing got up, put on a coat, and walked out of the room lightly, and went downstairs to the small building behind, where there were several tablets.

Among them, there is also Song Nanmu, who stood in front of the tablet with a cane, and took a stick of incense in front of him.

"It's so late. Can't sleep?" When he got up, An Yu, who was lying next to him, woke up in a flash.

Zhou Yanqing didn't turn his head, only smiled lowly, and said, "I'm sorry, I woke you up." ”

An Yu walked over, also put on a stick of incense, then took a step back and stood beside him, clasped his arms with both hands, rubbed his arms, and said, "It's cold at night, don't stand for too long." ”

"Hmm. He put his hands on his crutches, squinted his eyes, and said, "What do you say the second brother thought at the beginning? According to the people around him, he personally planned and caused the explosion, right? Do you say that Zhou Chan's family is really dead?"

"What do you mean? The second brother's loyal servant watched the explosion happen with his own eyes, how could it be fake. ”

"The second brother is really ruthless, I heard that he loved Zhou Chan very much, and he was willing to kill her family. It's a pity that in the end, I actually put myself on it, which sounds a bit miserable. ”

He turned his head to look at An Chan and asked, "Was it my father who wanted the second brother to deal with Zhou Chan?"

An Yu didn't know why he was suddenly so interested in Song Nanmu's affairs, she shook her head and said, "No, the second brother did this beyond the expectations of all of us. Dad didn't want Zhou Chan's life, if he wanted to die, when the second brother told her some things earlier, he would have done it a long time ago. ”

Dad promised the second brother that as long as Zhou Chan didn't participate in it, the two of them would never know each other from now on, and he wouldn't do anything to Zhou Chan. The second brother may want to atone for his sins, after all, he made a momentary gaffe at the beginning, Zhou Chan is Zhou Jingyang's biological daughter after all, and in the end it almost broke a big deal. Maybe that's why he would do such an extreme thing. Or, after so many years, he has long stopped loving Zhou Chan. ”

Zhou Yanqing slightly pursed the corners of her lips and said lightly: "Yes? What if he still loves it? Isn't this tantamount to self-liberation? I even doubt that Zhou Chan's family is dead." ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, let's go back, it's too cold, and I'm going to catch a cold if I stand there again." Zhou Yanqing wrapped the clothes on his body, turned around and went out.

An Yu was stunned, and didn't react for a long time, until there was a trace of movement from the door behind her, she suddenly came back to her senses, looked back, and only saw the back of Zhou Yanqing leaving. She frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Song Nanmu's tablet again, and couldn't help squinting her eyes, what Zhou Yanqing said seemed to be reasonable.

Could it be that Song Nanmu is protecting Zhou Chan by doing this? What about himself? Is he still in the world?

The breeze blew, An Yu couldn't help but shudder, shrunk his neck, turned around and hurried back to the room, and didn't take Song Nanmu's life and death to heart. After all, it's been four years. On the contrary, it was Zhou Yanqing's attitude that made her a little uneasy.

The next two days were nothing special, everyone stayed in the old house, lived a comfortable day, sat together and knocked melon seeds, and talked about the day.

On the third day of the first lunar month, an uninvited guest came to the house.

Song Peili also went out to greet him, Zhou Yanqing sat in the hall watching TV, and Xiaonuo sat beside him obediently today and peeled peanuts for him. Yes, my five-year-old son peeled peanuts for my thirty-eight-year-old father.

"Fourth, look who's coming. ”

When Zhou Yanqing heard this, he turned his head to look outside, and saw Jin Yihong walking in from outside.

He imperceptibly picked the corner of his lips and stood up, his eyes full of inquiry, looking him up and down.
