079, we have a long time coming

Mai Xiuze was so disgusted that he got goosebumps: "What are you doing?

Tong Qiangqiang ignored him, and after swallowing the contents of his mouth, he gently wiped his mouth with a napkin, then got up and said indifferently: "I want to go out to breathe." But I don't want to walk that glass corridor anymore. ”

Mai Xiuze couldn't cry or laugh: "Okay, grandma, come with me." ”

Then Mai Xiuze led her out through another door.

The midsummer sun was extremely hot, Tong Qiangqiang was pacing slowly in the verandah, even though she was surrounded by grass and trees, she was still sweating lightly after a while.

Walking to a water pavilion, she sat on a stone bench to rest, holding her mobile phone in her hand, and from time to time she paid attention to whether there was a message or phone call from Yan Xi on the screen.

Mai Xiuze, who followed behind her, looked all the way in his eyes, and curled his lips to one side and teased: "Can you not always show in front of me that you have another man in mind?"

His words were particularly problematic, and Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help frowning: "I didn't let you follow me." ”

Mai Xiuze snorted: "If I don't follow you, don't talk about your husband, I'm afraid Han Lie will trouble me first." Immediately, he added, "Or do you actually want to replace Han Lie with you?"

Mai Xiuze thought that after he said this, Tong Qiangqiang should blow up his hair again.

But no.

Where would Mai Xiuze give up easily, and said with an unusually rippling smile: "You are the only one who can make Han Lie so angry that he can leave." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was silent for two seconds and asked Mai Xiuze, "Do you have to open your mouth and close your mouth to talk about Han Lie in front of me?"

"Okay. Mai Xiuze shrugged, "Then let's talk about your husband." ”

He crossed his arms on the table, leaned over towards Tong Qiangqiang, his expression looked mysterious, and he lowered his voice: "Yan Xi is the nephew of the family?"

Tong Qiangqiang felt that Yan Xi didn't like or want people to know about him, not to mention that this was also Yan Xi's private matter, even though she was his wife, she didn't want to chew on his affairs with outsiders, so she replied to Mai Xiuze angrily: "I don't know." ”

Mai Xiuze sneered: "You don't know where this is, you don't know whose funeral this is, and you don't know the relationship between Yan Xi and this family, are you sure that you and Yan Xi are husband and wife?"

Tong Qiangqiang glanced at Mai Xiuze: "Is it interesting to provoke the relationship between our husband and wife?"

"Yo, I'm smarter than before, and you've seen that I'm provoking?" Mai Xiuze pretended to exaggerate his appreciation, and then continued his previous curiosity: "Don't hide it from me. Although I haven't heard much about when my uncle's family still has such a nephew as Yan Xi, I guessed that it was my uncle's family who helped me three years ago, and Yan Xi took you out of my whole search, right?"

Hearing this, Tong Qiangqiang's mind was slightly paused.

To be honest, she really didn't know about it.

She doesn't want to remember that night, three years ago. She only clearly remembered that when she was desperate, it was Yan Xi who pulled her back and told her that she still had relatives and lovers, even if she had no memory of the "Liang Yin" that Yan Xi said at that time, but Yan Xi, who was still a stranger to her at that moment, made her have an inexplicable sense of trust.

So she followed Yan Xi.

She was in a complete trance, and she didn't know what difficulties it would be to leave Rongcheng. She took the Liang Yin's certificate that Yan Xi gave her, and when she came back to her senses, she was already in Australia, and Zhuang Yirou hugged her and cried.

At first, she thought that she hadn't been found by Han Lie because her disappearance didn't matter to Han Lie at all. But it turns out that Han Lie and Mai Xiuze have indeed been looking for her.

It's been three years, and today after being reminded by Mai Xiuze's words, Tong Qiangqiang suddenly reacted, he had never thought about it carefully, with the background of the winemaker in Yanxi, no matter how much money he spent, he couldn't completely eliminate the trace of "Tong Qiangqiang", right?

Therefore, Mai Xiuze's guess is estimated to be good, and it is very likely that Yan Xi asked someone from his grandfather's side to help.

Once the speculation was raised, some details that she had previously overlooked came back to mind.

She didn't forget that Yan Xi had said that he had cut off contact with his grandfather.

She even remembered that Yan Xi had said that she had reconnected a few years ago because of something.

So, could it have something to do with taking her back to Australia smoothly?

Thinking of this possibility, Tong Qiangqiang's heart became more and more uneasy.

Sensing her distraction, how could Mai Xiuze be willing to be ignored, and waved his hand in front of her: "What do you want?"

Since most of the people attending the funeral were the children of high-ranking officials, the background of Yan Xi's grandfather's family is self-evident. Tong Qiangqiang immediately asked Mai Xiuze: "Tell me well, what is the ...... of this family?"

Mai Xiuze asked rhetorically and confirmed to her: "Yan Xi really hasn't made it clear to you?"

Tong Qiangqiang shook his head frankly.

Mai Xiuze's expression was calm, he pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Then it's not convenient for me to say." You'd better ask him yourself. I guess he didn't say he had his reasons. Then he added a little jokingly, "This family is making a mistake and has not solved it neatly, if you are not careful, you may catch up with the 'Zhulian Nine Clans' as soon as you get married." ”

Tong Qiangqiang's face turned white in response, his palms loosened, and his mobile phone slipped off.

Mai Xiuze quickly retrieved it from mid-air and returned it to her, and teased happily: "I'm bluffing you, look at you scared, what era do you think is this, how easy is it to connect the nine clans? It turns out that you are so greedy for life and afraid of death." If I had known this, I should have found a way to get Yan Xi's backstage out earlier, and you would definitely not dare to marry him. ”

Tong Qiangqiang pursed his lips, noncommittal to Mai Xiuze's words, re-grasped the mobile phone, and continued to wander unsteadily along the hand-copying verandah without saying a word.

Mai Xiuze also continued to follow her, and after several attempts to talk to her without success, he could only give up in the end.

Wandering around like this until the sun was setting in the west, Tong Qiangqiang's mobile phone finally moved. Almost before the first shock ended, she picked it up: "Yan Xi, where are you?!"

Hearing her anxiety, Yan Xi first soothed her, "I'm fine," and then asked, "Where are you now?"

Tong Qiangqiang asked Yan Xi: "Where are you? I'll look for you!"

Yan Xi smiled: "Okay, it's okay." I was at the racetrack where we first came in. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tong Qiangqiang immediately asked Mai Xiuze to take her back to the racecourse.

When they arrived, there was only one man galloping on horseback on the racetrack.

It's a bit far away, and the sunset is a bit dazzling. Tong Qiangqiang instinctively raised his hand to block his eyes, squinting his eyes to see if it was Yan Xi, Mai Xiuze recognized the other party first, and beckoned to Han Lie on the horse.

Han Lie quickly ran over, and when he was about to run in front of them, he pulled the reins to slow down the horse.

He took off his original clothes, changed into a horse suit, and even wore a hat on his head. He sat firmly on his horse, his figure looking taller than usual, and with a cold gaze, he looked at her like a god from above.

Mai Xiuze asked a little unpleasantly: "Why are you riding alone again?

Cold, the horse suddenly raised his head and snorted.

Tong Qiangqiang was startled and reflexively took two steps back.

Han Lie couldn't answer Mai Xiuze's question in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled the reins and patted the horse's neck, turned the direction of the horse's head, and then turned his head to Tong Qiangqiang and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." ”

But when he heard Tong Qiangqiang shout in surprise, "Yan Xi!" and rushed quickly in the direction of the stable. It was Yan Xi who had just come out of the stable with a horse.

In the backlight of the setting sun, he smiled and stretched out his arms to Tong Qiangqiang.

Tong Qiangqiang flew straight over and threw himself into his arms like a milk swallow throwing into the forest.

Han Lie glanced at the two of them who were hugging each other, and quickly turned his head.

Mai Xiuze caught the fleeting gloom on Han Lie's face, stepped forward, touched the head of the horse that Han Lie was riding, sighed, and said to the horse a little coldly: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”

Han Lie's expression turned cold: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Mai Xiuze just hooked his lips and smiled.

At this time, Yan Xi walked over with a horse in one hand and Tong Qiangqiang in the other, looked up and said to Han Lie, "It's been a long time, we can start." ”

Tong Qiangqiang and Mai Xiuze were both stunned.

"I made an appointment with Mr. Han for a horse race, and you go outside the railing on the sidelines. Yan Xi pulled a lock of Tong Qiangqiang's hair behind his ear, half explaining and half admonishing.

Mai Xiuze became more and more unhappy when he heard this: "You two are too bad! If you want to race horses, you don't want to find me together?!"

"You're late. Be a referee. Han Lie swept Mai Xiuze lightly and threw a small flag into Mai Xiuze's arms.

Tong Qiangqiang approached Yan Xi and asked in a low voice, "What kind of horse are you okay to race with him?"

Yan Xi smiled disapprehantly: "It's just a play." ”

She couldn't arrogantly ask Yan Xi not to race horses in front of Han Lie and Mai Xiuze, Tong Qiangqiang pouted, and pretended to be generous to check the buckle of Yan Xi's hat.

Yan Xi let her fiddle.

"I'll wait for you over there. Han Lie greeted Yan Xi lightly, turned the horse's head and paced to the track alone.

Mai Xiuze always felt that Han Lie's back was faintly lonely, a little blind, and reminded Tong Qiangqiang: "Go over, stand up quickly, don't hinder men from playing." You are a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and you are not afraid of finding bad luck for your husband. ”

Tong Qiangqiang glanced at Mai Xiuze: "Don't be a crow's mouth!"

Yan Xi smiled, held Tong Qiangqiang's hand, and moistened her lips on the back of her hand: "Wait for me to triumph." ”

Tong Qiangqiang blushed slightly: "Pay attention to safety." ”

Yan Xi turned over at this time, got on the horse cleanly, and then instigated the horse to pac to Han Lie's side.

The two exchanged words as if they had said two words.

The referee Mai Xiuze has the appearance to call the two to the starting line. Han Lie and Yan Xi prepared their horses together, their expressions were a little serious, and their posture looked like people who often rode horses, leaning down slightly, holding the reins in their hands, and staring at the front with burning eyes.

With a wave of the small flag in Mai Xiuze's hand, the horses of the two rushed out at the same time.

Tong Qiangqiang stared at the figures of the two without blinking, and gradually moved away, but the speed was not comparable.

Mai Xiuze came to her side: "Come on, come on, let's block it, which of them will win?"

Tong Qiangqiang didn't speak, but put on an expression of "do you still need to ask?"

Mai Xiuze squinted his eyes: "Okay, okay, you bet on Yanxi, and I bet on Han Lie." But you will lose. ”

While the words were closed, Yan Xi and Han Liecha ran in front of them and continued the first lap. At this time, it can be seen that Yan Xi is temporarily slightly ahead.

This situation just slapped Mai Xiuze in the face slightly.

Tong Qiangqiang grinned smugly at him.

Mai Xiuze touched his nose and shouted at Han Lie's back: "Old Han, you fight for me!"

Tong Qiangqiang looked back at the situation on the field, and saw that the horses of the two were at the corner, and Yan Xi, who was originally slightly ahead, was overtaken by Han Lie by half of the horse in a few seconds. The two of them suddenly squeezed into the corner to grab a more favorable track.

And the accident happened at this moment, Yan Xi and Han Lie suddenly fell from their horses.

Tong Qiangqiang's heart instantly rose to his throat, Mai Xiuze had already reacted immediately, and ran towards them quickly, Tong Qiangqiang also trembled and ran after him.

She could clearly see that Han Lie and Yan Xi were on their own side. Yan Xi's falling position fell directly into the grass field, with some buffer, while Han Lie fell onto the runway, and even rolled twice on the runway.

Because Yan Xi was closer, Mai Xiuze stopped by Yan Xi's side first to ask about his situation. Tong Qiangqiang's steps paused slightly, glanced at Han Lie, and finally turned around and stopped beside Yan Xi, and said in an anxious voice: "What's the matter? Where did you fall and get hurt?"

Seeing Tong Qiangqiang coming, Mai Xiuze naturally got up and left, and ran to Han Lie, who was a little farther away.

"It's okay, I'm okay. Yan Xi shook his head and sat up from the grassland comfortingly, pointed to the leg guards and other equipment on his body, and smiled: "The horse running suit is not worn for nothing. ”

Tong Qiangqiang helped him up from the grassland, Yan Xi frowned and pressed her hand: "Why are your hands so cold?"

"I'm not scared by you. Tong Qiangqiang glared at him, patted the grass on his body for him, and still had palpitations: "No, I'll go for a check-up in a while." What if there are internal injuries that can't be seen?"

"I'm really fine. Your husband and I are not weak young men. Yan Xi joked, then looked at Han Lie with a little worry, and walked towards him: "Mr. Han, are you okay?"

Tong Qiangqiang took a slow step and followed behind Yan Xi.

Han Lie was a little more embarrassed than Yan Xi, a lot of dust on the runway was on him, and his hat was a little crooked. He had just gotten up from the ground with the help of Mai Xiuze's arm, patted himself with dust, and said lightly, "It's okay." ”

Catching a glimpse of a very slight abrasion on the underside of his cheek, Tong Qiangqiang flashed his eyes invisibly, and lowered his eyes in an instant.

The game was stopped due to this accident.

Yan Xi came out of the changing room one step faster than Han Lie, Tong Qiangqiang only said hello to Mai Xiuze, and then took Yan Xi away.

It was almost dark, and Tong Qiangqiang urged Yan Xi to hurry up and go to his grandfather's mourning hall to see him and leave after the ceremony, but Yan Xi said that he didn't have to go to the mourning hall now.

Tong Qiangqiang was stunned: "Why?"

Yan Xi touched Tong Qiangqiang's head: "The mourning hall is just a fictitious one. It doesn't matter if you see it or not. I've already taken you to meet your parents anyway. ”

Thinking of the two tablets that were placed separately in the ancestral hall, Tong Qiangqiang's heart was slightly sour, and he tightened Yan Xi's arm: "Then let's get out of here quickly." ”

When the two returned to the hot spring resort hotel, they unexpectedly met Han Lie and Mai Xiuze, who had also just returned, in the lobby.

"What a coincidence, it turns out that we even live in the same hotel. Mai Xiuze greeted Yan Xi with a smile on his face, and secretly mourned for Han Lie in his heart.

Han Lie seemed to have been immune to seeing Tong Qiangqiang and Yan Xi all the time, and he didn't have any special expression, only nodded lightly at Yan Xi as a greeting.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither of them politely proposed to have dinner together or anything like that.

Han Lie and Mai Xiuze seemed to be going to the front desk to do something first, Tong Qiangqiang took Yan Xi's hand and was about to part with them, when a series of exclamations suddenly came from the lobby, and one of them complained, "Why aren't anyone's dogs optimistic?"

In the corner of his eye, he felt a black shadow on the ground. Tong Qiangqiang subconsciously turned his head to look over, but before she could see clearly, the black shadow had already rushed to her feet.

Caught off guard, Tong Qiangqiang was startled, and reflexively pulled Yan Xi to take a step back.

Something pounced on his thighs.

Tong Qiangqiang lowered his gaze and stared at a stupid face. A pair of narrowed eyes tried to keep the crystal open to look at him, and opened their mouths to make a hasa at her.

"...... you" Tong Qiangqiang was stunned, "pork belly?"

Over there, Han Lie frowned and beckoned, and the pork belly tilted his head, as if he hesitated for two seconds, before releasing the two front paws from Tong Qiangqiang's legs, falling back to the ground, and then obediently walked in front of Han Lie. Han Lie touched its head twice, and it moved back to Han Lie's feet, but its gaze still fell on Tong Qiangqiang's body.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Han is really sorry!" a hotel waiter chased after him out of breath, bowed down and apologized, and explained, "I was about to bring it back to you, but it suddenly ran away without knowing what's going on." I didn't catch up for a while. It turned out to be the master's here, it's really aura. ”

Han Lie glanced at Tong Qiangqiang, did not comment on the waiter's last flattery, and walked towards the elevator with the pork belly without saying a word.

"The pork belly has grown so big...... Tong Qiangqiang stared at the dog that kept looking back at it, and asked Mai Xiuze sneeringly: "Why is the pork belly here?"

Mai Xiuze sneered: "You don't know, do you? This dog is now his son, and he takes it to work with him every day." If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bring his pet on the plane, he would have to take it with him on a business trip. ”

Tong Qiangqiang: "......"

"Okay, let's talk when we have time!" Mai Xiuze hurriedly finished greeting the couple and chased him to the elevator to meet Han Lie.

Yan Xi grabbed Tong Qiangqiang's shoulder: "That dog was raised by you before?"

Tong Qiangqiang paused slightly: "Do you see it?"

Yan Xi chuckled: "I'm not blind, that dog is running towards you so enthusiastically." ”

"It wasn't close to me at all before. Tong Qiangqiang still remembered the grudge, and couldn't help complaining, and then muttered, "I didn't expect to recognize my ......."

After the episode, Tong Qiangqiang and Yan Xi went back to their room, and after washing up separately, it was almost 7 o'clock.

There are many people who come to the suburbs to escape the heat during this season, and it falls on weekends. Fortunately, before going out in the morning, the two had booked seats in advance at the hotel's restaurant, so it was not like there were no seats.

Tong Qiangqiang and Yan Xi's location has a good view, on the second floor, in the open air, next to the fence, below is the first floor of the restaurant, is a small fountain square, noisier than the second floor.

The food of the water and soil has a unique taste. Tong Qiangqiang didn't know if outsiders could eat it, but she felt that it was like this, and something more than Australian was to her liking. In addition, after swaying for a long time in the afternoon, her stomach was really hungry, and she couldn't help but have a big appetite.

Yan Xi smiled and teased: "People who don't know still think that I abuse you and don't let you eat for several days." ”

Tong Qiangqiang took a sip of wine and swallowed the contents of his mouth together before grinning.

Yan Xi reached over with a napple and wiped the sauce on her lips, and thoughtfully reminded: "Be careful of accumulating food at night." ”

"It's okay, let's take a walk after eating. After speaking, Tong Qiangqiang scooped another spoonful of baked rice and put it into his mouth.

Yan Xi followed: "Be careful not to eat the dessert in the back." ”

Tong Qiangqiang felt that this made sense, so he slowed down.

After a while, Yan Xi left the table and went to the bathroom.

Tong Qiangqiang had just finished eating most of the baked rice, put down the spoon, drank a large glass of wine, and planned to rest for a while before continuing to eat.

Suddenly, the lights in the dining room dimmed a few minutes, and the music playing on the small stage suddenly changed to Happy Birthday. A man pushes a food cart with delicate cakes lit with candles on it, slowly passing through the tables.

As the distance got closer and closer, Tong Qiangqiang took a look and found that it was Yan Xi.

He stopped all the way to Tong Qiangqiang, first carefully brought the cake to their table, and then picked up a large bouquet of fiery roses that were also placed on the dining car and handed it to Tong Qiangqiang.

Tong Qiangqiang stood inexplicably.

"Silly?" Yan Xi hooked the tip of her nose: "Forgot your birthday again?"

Tong Qiangqiang stuck out his tongue and hurriedly took the flower.

When she was Tong Qiangqiang, she didn't celebrate her birthday much. After turning back into Liang Yin, Tong Qiangqiang's birthday is naturally not her birthday. But for three years, she didn't remember that every time it was Zhuang Yirou who took the initiative to think about her.

And this time, I happened to meet her and Yan Xi to come to Rongcheng, and my mind was full of funerals, where would I remember whether my birthday was not a birthday?

Yan Xi bowed slightly, and stretched out his hand to her with a strong smile: "Appreciate your face and dance?"

The couple made a bit of a fuss, and the rest of the restaurant kept an eye on them. Tong Qiangqiang looked around, a little shy, but he didn't refuse.

The moment her hand was placed in Yan Xi's palm, the people in the restaurant spontaneously applauded and coaxed.

Tong Qiangqiang blushed, and under everyone's gaze, he and Yan Xi walked into a small dance floor left in front of the small stage. The music played suddenly changed from a happy birthday song to a melodious dance music, and the two took small dance steps leisurely.

Yan Xi stared at Tong Qiangqiang's slightly confused drunken eyes without blinking: "I thought you had a lot of questions waiting to torture me tonight." ”

But apparently she seems to be more interested in food.

Tong Qiangqiang also stared at the soft light at the bottom of Yan Xi's eyes without blinking, and exhaled Youlan: "We have a long time coming, aren't we?"

Yan Xi's heart was touched by Tong Qiangqiang, and he stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed Tong Qiangqiang's cheeks.

Tong Qiangqiang always curled the corners of his lips, and his face was flushed.

Yan Xi leaned in slightly, dropped a kiss on Tong Qiangqiang's forehead, touched it lightly and left.

Tong Qiangqiang looked at him deeply for two seconds, put his hands around his neck from his shoulders, and took the initiative to send his warm fragrant nephrite.

Yan Xi's hand on her waist tightened and responded to her kiss.

The kiss between the two as if no one was next to them instantly became a scene in the restaurant, which once again set off the exclamations of other guests, and several even took out their mobile phones or took pictures or videos.

The first thing Han Lie and Mai Xiuze saw when they walked into the restaurant was this fragrant picture of the couple's deep love.
