Ireis had been out for almost two weeks, and every time he came home and saw Bamboo Basket, he seemed to be a little evasive, as if he was a little weak-hearted, but he would soon get tired of being around Bamboo Basket, and he would not mention anything about what they were doing outside, and Bamboo Basket gradually became less concerned - if that would happen one day, he didn't mind that this day would come early.

Iris can't be a child forever, even if he is a child, there will be emotional changes and growth, and the storage of bamboo baskets will gradually become less important, and at that time, it will probably be the same.

After the bamboo basket thought about it, he didn't take this matter to heart, there are two sides to everything, Xia Fan and Winston's eyes focused on Iris's body, which brought great convenience to the bamboo basket, even if he lay in the mermaid warehouse for a longer time, it could be explained by loneliness.

On Friday, Iris returned late again, and with him, of course, it was still Winston and Shavan.

The bamboo hoop was already having dinner, and when he heard the movement outside, he stopped his movements, and rowed out the wheelchair to welcome the door, the first thing that caught his eye was Iris, who was much more excited today than before, and threw himself into the bamboo hoop's arms, blushing and pursing his lips desperately, so that he could bear not to tell the story, and hugged the bamboo hoop for a while, Iris let go of the bamboo hoop and went to wash his hands.

Soon, Robert brought up dinner for three, and Bamboo was a little surprised when he saw it—he thought that the three of them would come back after eating outside.

Iris has obviously eased up a lot with Winston during this time, and it is Xia Fan who has played a big role in it, so it is natural for Xia Fan to become a member of their dinner table, whether it is Iris or Winston, and Zhuzhen has never expressed any opinion on this matter, so ...... It really goes with the flow.

Maybe it's because Xia Fan really helped Winston a lot, maybe it's because the two people already know each other very well, so the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better, and sometimes they look at each other, then Xia Fan will laugh, Winston's face will be softer, and it looks very harmonious. The bamboo basket didn't care when he saw it, he just silently removed his eyes, maybe the original bamboo basket would be sad when he saw such a scene, but the bamboo basket didn't care, it was selfish or not, he knew Winston's character for a long time, since Winston didn't pay even a trace of sincerity to him, he naturally wouldn't be sentimental. Whatever Winston did, he felt understandable—after all, he and Winston were at best seemingly intimate strangers.

After finishing the meal, Winston did not leave with an excuse that the military department had something to do, in fact, although the frequency of Winston's home has increased these days, he rarely spends the night at home, he is worried that the bamboo basket will not be able to adapt - Xia Fan got up to say goodbye and left, and smiled at Winston before leaving, signaling Winston to take advantage of the opportunity.

Winston nodded slightly, so much time was spent on preparation, naturally he couldn't escape, even if it was just for Iris, he wouldn't give up at this time.

Moreover, it has been so long, and the bamboo basket should be relieved, even if the bamboo basket is still a little afraid of him, he can't always go to the bamboo basket and let the bamboo basket escape to face him, which will be very detrimental to the relationship between him and the bamboo basket.

Bamboo hoop really can't find anything to say to Winston, so he can only let Winston sit on the sofa alone, the two are relatively not too embarrassed even if they don't talk, the mermaid itself is a gentle character, even if he is a little frightened in his heart, he will try to suppress it, plus there is an Iris to ease, Iris is doing the weekend homework left by the teacher, and because of Winston's efforts during this time, Iris is much better to Winston, and it should be only a little bit away from forgiveness, and when Iris is really confused, Winston will guide him in time. Winston and Takeho occasionally exchange words about Iris's confusion, and on the surface, they look like family. It was already dark when Iris finished his homework, and Iris yawned twice in a row, his eyes were full of sleepiness, and he was about to go upstairs to sleep with the bamboo basket's hand.

Winston stood up and walked to the bamboo hoop, regardless of the bamboo hoop's surprised look, he reached out and picked up Iris and stuffed it into the bamboo hoop's arms, Iris did not struggle, buried in the bamboo hoop and hugged his waist, Winston picked up the bamboo hoop and Iris together, and sent them to the room, when he went out, Winston looked at the bamboo hoop's stunned expression, with some helplessness and bitterness in the corners of his eyes, and left the room after covering the quilt for the two.

Looking at the closed door, Zhu Zhen had a question mark in his heart, he always felt that Winston had something to say, probably because his attitude was no longer the same as before, after all, he was really afraid of a person, no matter how disguised he was on the surface, he would always shrink when he came into contact, and Winston could understand if he couldn't speak.

Turning over, the bamboo basket closed his eyes to hide the indifference in his eyes.

Iris has been away from him, and most of the reasons why he stayed in this house are also far away, Zhu Zhen laughed at himself, he thought that Iris depended on him, but he never thought that in fact, he, why didn't he rely on Iris? Fortunately, Iris's most innocent reaction woke him up in time - Ires would not be his child after all.

Do you want to plan ahead? The bamboo hoop hugged Iris who was like a small stove next to him, and thought slowly, although Iris relied on him and trusted him, it was not that he couldn't live without him, and now Winston cares about Iris very much, leaving at this time, leaving after growing up with Iris and becoming more mature, the impact on Iris is relatively small...... Rejected this idea in his heart, now is not the time for him to leave, the status of the mermaid is too low, he wants to rise to the sky, he must take advantage of the situation, the bamboo hoop shrunk his hands and feet, closer to Iris, warm, but the cold people need it more.

***

When I got up the next day, it was already dark, and Iris beside him had already gotten up and left lightly, although the bamboo hoop knew it, he didn't pay attention to it, Iris had his own arrangements, and he didn't have to care too wide.

After getting dressed and washing, the bamboo hoop sat in a wheelchair and pushed open the door, and when he arrived in the living room, he still didn't see a person, the villa was very quiet, but the bamboo hoop was used to it, and he smiled and was about to go to the kitchen, but the door was pushed open suddenly, Iris ran over like a small cannonball, cheering like a bird out of the cage, he threw himself into the arms of the bamboo hoop, but did not speak, and looked in the direction of the door.

At the door was Winston's tall figure, today he was dressed in civilian clothes, without the appearance of a soldier, but with the solemnity of a soldier, standing upright against the light as if he were descending from heaven.

Winston felt two lines of sight on his body, and his straight figure like a green pine moved, walking towards the house step by step, until he took three steps in front of the bamboo hoop, and then squatted down on one knee and said to the bamboo hoop, "Bamboo hoop, I am taking two days off, and I am going to take you and Iris out for a good time." ”
