Chapter 354 [The Old Man on a Rainy Night]

"By the way, you already know what my name is, but I don't know your name yet."

He Aiqi took the man's hand and asked innocently.

"My name is Ho Jiu."

Although He Jiu really doesn't look distinctive, there are some invisible fine lines at the corners of his eyes.

But this man is magical, and it makes people feel at ease.

It was as if he had some kind of warmth on him, and he felt safe as soon as he got close.

"No wonder you were surprised when you heard my name before. This is probably really fate, right? You see, your surname is Ho and my surname is Ho. There is no such coincidence in this world. ”

He Aiqi said proudly to He Jiu.

As he spoke, he still raised his chest, as if he was really the adoptive father and daughter who were destined to meet him.

He Jiu took the little guy's hand and laughed dotingly.

The eyebrows and eyes are full of gentle brilliance.

Although the same is not a word about their own remarks.

But compared to He Jiu, whether it is Lan Shen or Uncle Amber...

No one is as good as the person in front of him.

Even if he doesn't answer you in words, he will look at you with a gentle expression.

Let you know that he is listening to you and that he has you in his eyes.

In fact, He Aiqi would have such a different feeling for an ordinary uncle like He Jiu.

In addition to He Jiu's own tolerant temper towards children and small animals, it is also because of the environment in which He Aiqi has been since he was a child.

All are packaged and refined social elites.

Whether it is Lan Shen, the head of the Lan family, or the famous Uncle Amber.

Even the Uncle Xinqiu who took a lot of care of them...

Everyone has a sense of distance.

They are all aloof, or distant.

Even if the education of the Lan family let He Aiqi and Lan Aijiu know that whether it is Xinqiu, Amber or the head of the Lan Shen family, they are really good to them.

However, this kind of cold sincerity, compared with the warmth of He Jiu's sincerity like the wind, is far less than the latter's sense of happiness and belonging to the child.

In fact, now let's look at Aiqi's escape from the Lan family, and uncover Aiqi's doubts about whether she is Lan Shen's biological bloodline...

Behind this, isn't it Aiqi's desire for family and affection since she was a child...

Children are innocent after all.

Even if they say countless times that they understand everything, there are always things they can't understand and can't understand.

It's not about wisdom, it's about experience.

Even a young genius like Lan Aijiu still fell into the warm palm of this ordinary man and the gentle stroke of He Aiqi when he first met He Jiu.

He Aiqi, who has been living with He Jiu for more than a month, the more she understands He Jiu, the more unscrupulous she is in front of He Jiu, so that she exposes the good little tail she thought she was hiding.

"Cut... You untrustworthy fellow. What else do you say? It didn't turn out that they bought me! ”

Watching He Jiu turn around and go to the small kitchen to cook, He Aiqi crossed her legs, with a lollipop in her mouth, and looked at Lan Ai sitting opposite with disdain.

The young master of the Lan family is the young master of the Lan family.

I haven't seen it for so long, and it's still an elite look.

He Aiqi has never been used to her cheap brother.

It's just the same child as her.

I don't smile as if I'm an adult...

"Hey... How the hell did you find me? I remember all the error messages I told you. You're too ruthless... Just do it yourself. And bring all these messy people over.

If it weren't for my father's ability to bear it, he might have been scared to death by this group of people. ”

He Aiqi was obviously well taken care of by He Jiu.

Lan Aijiu listened to He Aiqi's words, but he still frowned at the man who was busy in the small kitchen opposite.

Growing up, I almost never became jealous of anyone.

For He Aiqi, who has always loved to toss blindly, Lan Aijiu doesn't have much feeling as an elder brother.

But today.

Just when he found He Aiqi, he watched from a distance as his sister, who had always behaved nonsense, threw herself into the arms of the man opposite.

My dirty sister is smiling happier than ever...

At that moment, even Lan Ai, who had never known why he was jealous, was jealous of his sister.

The man bent down in response to his sister...

He looked at He Aiqi and the middle-aged man from a distance, looking at this stranger and his sister as if they were a real father and daughter.

They smiled sweetly and hugged each other.

The man carefully wiped the dirt off his sister's face.

That man looked far worse than Lan Shen, just an ordinary person who was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary.

But such a person gave He Aiqi a hug, but he felt very unwilling.

Lan Aijiu couldn't guess how He Aiqi met this person.

I don't know why this person is so good to He Aiqi.

It's only been less than two months.

In this small, dilapidated restaurant, Lan Ai couldn't stop looking at the man who was still cooking.

Even when his sister on the side spoke, he didn't pay attention to it.

"Hey! Lanai! What have you been looking at my dad? ”

Although he knew that Lan Ai wine was so virtuous, he still felt very unhappy when he was ignored.

This time, I finally heard the roar from He Aiqi.

Lan Aijiu glanced at his sister on the side lightly, and said coldly, "That person is not your father." ”

It's like deliberately trying to make He Aiqi angry.

After Lan Aijiu said this, he looked at He Aiqi's unbearable face and felt depressed in his heart.

is obviously a brother and sister, but since childhood, they have been fighting non-stop.

When the other party is in trouble, he will rush up to help without hesitation.

The strange temper of these two children really doesn't know who to follow.

So just when the two were tired of each other, He Jiu walked to the two with the dishes.

Watching the two little guys puff up.

He Jiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, stretched out his hand to touch this and that.

was touched on the head by He Jiu again.

Obviously, not how Aiqi is used to this, Lan Aijiu suddenly turned red ears and two beautiful big eyes looked straight at He Jiu.

He Jiu also rarely sees such a beautiful child.

Now sitting with his family Aiqi, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

When He Jiu was originally only one person, he didn't think about how he was going to live his life all day.

Later, he accidentally adopted Aiqi, although it also took a little effort.

But fortunately, He Jiu's ability to identify herbs and domesticate and guide alien beasts is good.

In just one month, He Jiu has his own territory in this border town and opened this small restaurant.

During this time, though, his memories never recovered.

However, he seems to be born to tame beasts, and he can actually do the work of taming beasts that others can't do and dare not do.

So even though I lost my memory, the days of working hard with my daughter were very beautiful and fulfilling.

Therefore, there is a lot of pity for this child, who is said to be a good friend of Aiqi in the past, and now has no parents.

"In the future, you can come to Aiqi more often. She is very noisy and wants you to take care of her. ”

He Jiu's words were very sincere, and it didn't look like talking to another child.

Lan Aijiu involuntarily nodded at He Jiu, as if he was really He Aiqi's friend, and he really didn't have parents.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about people. The family is now being adopted by a wealthy family. I don't know how good it is? ”

Hearing He Aiqi's sour words, Lan Aijiu gave He Aiqi a slap in the eye.

He Jiu also laughed when he saw the two children playing.

Tell them to eat something before they go playing.

He Jiu didn't know where the two children sitting beside him were poor orphans.

These two, but those masters of the Lan family dare not add a finger to the current head of the Lan family, Lan Shen's biological flesh and blood.

Although in fact, Lan Shen has no memory of giving birth to these two children at all.

But there is no doubt that they are Lan Shen's blood relatives.

He Jiu had to cook for Aiqi as usual, and then pack up his things and tidy up the herbs that could be sold.

The weather has been bad lately, and there are all kinds of terrible beasts in those unregulated fields.

Therefore, people who are easily afraid to go out to find supplies naturally have little money to come to him to spend.

When business is bad, He Jiu is not in a hurry.

Spend some time with her daughter, although Aiqi seems to love to mess around.

But in fact, he is very sensible.

It was pouring rain outside.

He Jiu is afraid that it is not safe for children to go home alone.

So I also asked if Lan Ai needed to video communicate with his family, and temporarily spent the night with him and Aiqi at his house.

When Lan Aijiu heard He Jiu's invitation, his eyes began to shine.

I had never seen such an excited Lan Ai wine, and He Aiqi was dumbfounded and did not refute He Jiu's proposal.

It's just that the two children never thought about it...

There will be a day when the two of them will also have the honor of being personally braved by Lord Lan Shen, the head of the Lan family.

God knows when He Jiu heard someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night, and opened the door in loose and sloppy pajamas...

Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, there was a long-haired man wearing a dark blue gown with an umbrella.

The life of the little citizen has been a little long...

Seeing this bizarre scene, He Jiu couldn't speak for a long time.

"Sir... Are you here to pick up the mugwort? He just fell asleep..."

He Jiu explained softly, his eyes lowered, although he didn't look very young and good-looking.

Kelan Shen just stood at the door, looking at this man with an umbrella...

It's as if I'm fascinated...

It wasn't until He Jiu looked at this cold-faced noble man standing in the rain and didn't react at all, that he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lan Shen...

As a result, He Jiu waved his hand, and he was suddenly hugged into his arms by this tall man with long hair and long coat.

“？！”

He Jiu was so shocked that he was speechless.

But being tightly embraced by Lan Shen in his arms, how could he still be freed.

He Jiu was so embarrassed that he just wanted to say don't do this...

But Lan Shen, who carried him into the house, frowned deeply.

The face, which had never had an extra expression, seemed to be distorted by something uncontrollable.

Lan Shen stood in the dim light of the humble shop, hugging this person he didn't even know...

I just felt that my heart suddenly hurt indescribably...

So he can only hug the person in his arms to feel a little better.

For a while, Lan Shen couldn't figure out why he was like this.

So when he finally suppressed the painful feeling that caught him off guard, he slowly let go of He Jiu.

Only then did he use that cold voice to ask He Jiu, who was also confused.
