"Why don't you open the door and don't come in, what are you doing standing outside the door?" The door was opened from the inside, Qi Jun heard a gentle and beautiful voice, and followed the voice to see an elegant woman.

She wore her hair in a low bun, her hair was meticulously groomed, and she had a kind and gentle smile on her face, and she looked very approachable. She was wearing a loose loungewear long skirt and an off-white thin knitted jacket, looking very gentle and virtuous.

"Hello aunt. Lin Xi shouted first.

Lin Xi also came. The woman stood and spoke, "Get out of the way, come in quickly, you are all hungry, and the meal is ready." ”

Lin Xi swaggered in as if he had entered his own house, and Qi Jun heard him shouting in the house: "Uncle Qin, Uncle Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much!"

Qin Ran signaled to Xu Han and went in first. Xu Han said to the woman, "Auntie." After speaking, he introduced to her, "This is my girlfriend, Qi Jun." ”

"If so, let them come in quickly, and don't let people stand at the door the first time. A kind and gentle male voice came from the room, Qi Jun had heard Xu Han's father's voice, so she was sure that it was Xu Han's uncle who was talking.

Xu Ru responded with a hello, looked at Qi Jun's cramped and uneasy appearance and smiled very gently, and took the initiative to come over and take her hand, "Don't be so restrained, when you come, you will treat it as your own home, ah." ”

Qi Jun was pulled by Xu Rus, and he was even more nervous, he didn't know what to do with a stiff smile, he looked at Xu Han as if he was asking for help, Xu Han pulled her back and walked in, and said, "Let's go in, don't be nervous, I'm here." ”

After entering the door, Xu Han took the door. Qi Jun changed into the slippers that Xu Ru had prepared for her, and was pulled by Xu Han to walk towards the restaurant, and halfway through, she saw that Lin Xi had already sat down and was chatting happily with Father Qin and Father Xu.

Xu Ru beckoned Xu Han and Qi Jun to sit down, and after they sat down, the middle-aged man in the middle of the table looked at Xu Han and asked, "This is Qi Jun?"

Xu Han nodded, Qi Jun nodded at Father Qin with a smile, and heard the middle-aged man on his left looking at her with a smile: "You are the girl who went back to school with Xu Han last time, I remember you." ”

"It's me. Qi Jun nodded and replied with a smile. Xu Changbai actually remembered her, did he also agree that he was with Xu Han?

"Auntie, can we eat first? I'm so hungry. Lin Xi was coquettish to Xu Ru, and said indignantly: "Auntie, you don't know that Xu Han didn't invite me to breakfast in the morning, and he abused me again." ”

Lin Xi and Xu Han have been to Qin Ran's house several times, he has a lively personality, humorous words, and knows a lot. Xu Ru and Father Qin both liked him very much, and they both thought that he was more likable than the calm and self-controlled Xu Han.

On the one hand, he was really hungry, and on the other hand, he was trying to relieve Qi Jun. Especially Xu Han seemed to be happy to see Qi Jun's cramped and uneasy appearance, and he suspected that his aunt and uncle and Xu's father staring at Qi Jun today were all instructed by Xu Han.

"Min Rui, big brother, hurry up and eat, the children are hungry. Xu Ru asked Qin Minrui and Xu Changbai to move their chopsticks first, and then greeted the juniors after they responded with a smile.

During the banquet, in addition to Xu Han who has always cared about Qi Jun, Xu Rushi always served her vegetables, every time she reached out to take the bowl in a panic, kept blushing and saying thank you, while everyone was not paying attention, Xu Han put the dishes she didn't like to eat into her bowl.

Qi Jun found that Xu Ru was always staring at her, her eyes were gentle, and her face was full of smiles, especially when she looked at herself and smiled, her eyes were full of relief and inexplicable sadness.

"Xu Han, have I embarrassed you, why does your aunt keep staring at me?" Qi Jun lowered his head and leaned over to Xu Han's side and asked in a low voice.

"Nope. She likes you, don't be nervous. Xu Han patted her back with a smile, which really relieved her nervous mood a lot.

After the meal, Xu Ru dismissed a few children to watch TV in the living room, watching Qi Jun and Lin Xi bickering through the glass window of the dining room, and from time to time Qi Jun turned his head to ask Xu Han for help, and it could be seen that she was very dependent on Xu Han.

"She looks so similar, especially when she laughs, those eyes are exactly the same. Xu Ru retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes and sighed lightly.

"Don't say this in front of Qi Jun!" Qin Minrui sneered, "lest that kid think too much and think that Xiao Han is a substitute for her." ”

Xu Ru nodded, stood up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said as he cleaned up, "Big brother, why don't you agree that Xiao Han and Qi Jun are together." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the people fighting in the living room, "Xiao Han hasn't laughed from the bottom of her heart for many years. ”

Hearing this, Xu Changbai's face showed a sad face, and he remembered some past events. He crossed Xu Ru and watched the interaction between Xu Han and Qi Jun through the glass window, and his heart was happy, but he was also panicked.

When Xu Han's mother Han Rongyan died, Xu Han didn't shed a single tear, and after being rescued by the police, the first thing he said when he saw him was: "Dad, Mom is dead, I must avenge her." ”

Xu Han, a six-year-old child, was expressionless and unfazed when he said this, and his immature pupils reflected a terrifying ghostly light, which made him feel a chill in his back at that time, and he still shivered when he thought about it now.

Later, Han Yao had an accident, Xu Han devised a trap with all his heart, and tried his best to frame a suspect to admit manslaughter, and at that time he was frightened by Xu Han's calmness.

He always felt that there was a black fog around Xu Han's body, which made people very uncomfortable, and the two fatal blows made Xu Han's whole person become gloomy and irritable, cruel and bloody.

Xu Han has always disbelieved that Han Yao committed suicide, just as he firmly believed that Han Rongyan did not commit suicide willingly.

Over the years, he has watched Xu Han close his heart, make a perfect smile mask for himself, and use an ethereal illusion to cover up his distorted heart. He wanted to pull Xu Han back from the edge of darkness countless times, but in the face of Xu Han's alienation, resistance and indifference, there was nothing he could do.

"Xu Han, he may not be able to bear it again...... Another person he cared about, because he died unexpectedly. Xu Changbai's voice was much hoarse, he had little communication with Xu Han in the past fourteen years, and he had never seen Xu Han gag with his friends like a normal child, playing and laughing.

More often than not, he had the impression that Xu Han was sitting quietly in a corner, always wearing a smile mask on his face, talking little, and his tone was tepid. When he was in a bad mood, there was only a touch of ridicule on his smiling face mask, and the fierceness quickly gathered under his eyes.

"That thing...... Haven't you dealt with it yet?" Xu Ru asked worriedly.

"It's not good to deal with it...... Xu Changbai smiled palely, his voice a little older, "I don't know if they can let Xu Han go after I die." ”

Xu Ru paused, looked down at the dishes and chopsticks from years ago in a daze, and heard Qin Minrui sigh and say, "Everyone who is young has made mistakes, but ...... When is the time for retribution, it is best not to affect the children with the grievances of the previous generation, Xiao Han is already bitter enough. ”

For a while, the three of them were silent, and those things that had long been dusty in the past now poured into their minds, the joy in their hearts was washed away by sadness, the suffocation in their chests was choked by emotions, and their breathing was a little difficult to breathe.

Qi Jun turned his head to look at the people in the restaurant for a long time, and saw that they didn't move, and they all felt that the atmosphere was very unpleasant from such a distance.

So she patted Xu Han's arm and whispered, "Xu Han, am I not paying too much attention to my image and making them unhappy?"

She is a little uneasy in her heart, she is the kind of person who will expose her true nature as long as there is no pressure and burden in her heart, what image, what nervousness is all left behind.

Xu Han glanced at the three people in the restaurant, the smile on his face was a little colder, he naturally knew what they were talking about again, in order not to let Qi Jun think too much, he patted Qi Jun's head, "It's not your problem, don't want to know more?"

"Then I'll help your aunt wash the dishes. Qi Jun nodded, stood up and trotted to the door of the restaurant as he spoke, reaching out to pick up the dishes and chopsticks in Xu Rus's hand, "Aunt Xu, I'll help you wash the dishes." ”

"No, just go sit and watch TV. Xu Ru deviated his hands, opened his eyebrows and smiled, "It's good for me to come, and I'll stain your clothes later." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I often help my mom wash the dishes at home. Qi Jun stretched out his hand to pick up the bowl in Xu Ru is hand, and the two were in a stalemate for a long time, and Xu Ru compromised.

Qi Jun breathed a sigh of relief and put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, she was very weak about what she said just now, she often washed the dishes, yes, her mother forced her to wash them with a ring ruler, and she had to be beaten if she couldn't wash them cleanly.

After Xu Ru cleaned up the remaining dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, Qi Jun had already washed half of the dishes and chopsticks, she looked at Qi Jun's dexterous and virtuous movements and praised her with a smile, "Now many children are spoiled by their parents, and it is rare to see you so capable, Qi Jun, you are awesome!"

Qi Jun smiled embarrassedly when he heard Xu Ru's sincere compliment, and watched Xu Ru still rinse off the white foam on the bowl with water, take a handkerchief and dry it and put it in the disinfection cabinet on the side.

"My daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, if only I had a sensible daughter like you. Xu Ru sighed again.

"My daughter doesn't always have to worry about it, and when I was skinny, my mother was always angry, and she often wanted to kick me out of the house. ”

"She's definitely joking with you. Xu Ru looked at Qi Jun again, looked at her carefully, and found that the way she spoke, and the way she smiled and her eyes were crooked, she was really similar to the person in her memory.

"Auntie, is there anything on my face?" Qi Jun didn't hear Xu Ru speak again for a long time, and looked up suspiciously to see Xu Ru staring at her all the time, as if he had remembered something, his expression was sad, and his eyes were dull and immersed in a certain memory.

"Auntie, Auntie?" Qi Jun shouted twice, and seeing that Xu Ru did not react, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, raising his voice a little: "Aunt Xu." ”
