It was five o'clock when he came out of the store, and Shen Lie hugged Cai Cai and asked with concern, "Are you hungry?" ”

Cai Cai shook his head, looked up at him, and proposed, "Shen Lie, let's go to the school to pick up Shen Yue for dinner!" ”

It's five o'clock, and the school ends at half past five, so it's just the right time to rush over.

I don't know how the little guy will react when she knows that they are together as she expected.

"Hmm." Shen Lie nodded.

When the car arrived at the school, class was just over, and the two of them stood in front of the car looking for Shen Yue's figure.

After a while, Shen Yue's figure appeared, and she was seen walking towards the school gate with a female classmate.

Since getting along with Cai Cai, Shen Yue is no longer as fox as before, she is willing to start making friends, and her personality has begun to become more and more cheerful, and her friends have become more and more.

When she raised her eyes and saw Cai Cai, a bright smile appeared on her face, and after she hurriedly said goodbye to the classmates around her, she ran towards Cai Cai and them excitedly.

When Shen Yue ran in front of Cai Cai, she gave her a big bear hug and called out happily, "Cai Cai ......"

Cai Cai gently pushed her away, rubbed the top of her head with a smile, and asked, "Shen Yue, do you miss me very much?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Yue nodded vigorously, "Cai Cai, did you miss me?" How did you get here? Didn't my brother say you wouldn't be home in a few days? ”

During this time, she talked to her brother on the phone, and she was very worried when Cai Cai disappeared, but later learned that Lu Dao was taken to the old house by her grandmother, and she was relieved that she was doing well.

She thought that her grandmother must also like Caicai, otherwise she would not have taken her to the old mansion and let her live for so long.

After listening to her ask a series of questions, Cai Cai said with a smile, "I thought you would come to see you, now we will take you to dinner." ”

We?!

Shen Yue heard the point of her words, and her ambiguous little eyes swept back and forth between the two of them.

After the three of them got into the car, Shen Yue laughed twice, looked at Cai Cai and asked, "Cai Cai, has my brother already passed the assessment?" ”

"Hmm." Cai Cai nodded sheepishly.

An excited smile spread on Shen Yuexiao's face, and she was about to say to her brother, "Brother, congratulations on finally achieving positive results." , but I heard Cai Cai say something leisurely.

"But it's still in the trial period."

Then the words of congratulations were changed to a sentence of encouragement, "Brother, I am optimistic about you, work hard to pass the probationary period, and then successfully turn into a regular." ”

Shen Lie looked back at Cai Cai, who was sitting in the back row, the corners of his mouth raised upward, and said leisurely, "Gu Caicai, didn't you confess to me?" If you need to go through the probationary period, it should be you! ”

Caicai, "......"

Embarrassment! It seems that he did confess first.

Even if that's the case, Mr. Shen, don't say it so directly, at least save some face for her!!

Shen Yue smiled crookedly on the side, and after a while, she gave Cai Cai a thumbs up, "Cai Cai, you are so powerful, I worship you!" ”

Along the way, laughter filled the car, and the smile on the corner of Shen Lie's mouth, who acted as a free driver, was always overflowing.

For a moment, it felt like this was what he had been looking for.

The three of them came to Hailan Restaurant, and when they entered the restaurant, Cai Cai remembered the last time she came here with Mengshu and was embarrassed by Shen Lie.

At that time, she never thought that she would be able to come here for dinner with him one day.

So in life, there are often many unexpected things.

When I look back, I will sigh, ah! It turns out that there are some things that I have done that I don't dare to think about at all.

During the meal, when Shen Lie went to the bathroom, Shen Yue took out a beautifully packaged box from her schoolbag and handed it to Cai Cai, and Ai Ai said in a low voice, "Cai Cai, can you help me take this gift to my grandmother?" ”

Cai Cai looked at her cautious eyes, and a fierce throb in the softest part of her heart, and asked gently, "Aren't you going to go on the day of grandma's birthday?" ”

Shen Yue lowered her eyes, her eyes were overflowing with gloomy decay, and she said faintly, "Grandma, she will definitely be unhappy when she sees me." ”

Cai Cai held her little hand on the table and said softly, "Yueyue, don't be sad, I will find a chance to talk to grandma, I believe that no matter what misunderstandings you have before, grandma will definitely forgive you." ”

Shen Yue smiled bitterly, "Cai Cai, don't comfort me, I know that Grandma Dao will not forgive me." ”

If it weren't for her, Daddy wouldn't have had an accident.

Grandma didn't dare to forgive her as she deserved, so she didn't blame the milk.

"You have to believe in Caicai." Cai Cai looked at the age-inappropriate expression on her face, and the decision in her heart was even more certain.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Shen Lie who came back from the bathroom, and Cai Cai hurriedly put away the gifts on the table.

After Shen Lie sat down, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cai Cai and Shen Yue shook their heads at the same time, and said at the same time, "It's nothing. ”

Shen Liehu glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and did not continue to ask.

On the way back after eating, I was much more silent than when I came.

Shen Lie sent Shen Yue back to the villa first, and Cai Cai looked at Shen Yue's small body waving to them as she walked towards the villa, and her heart was extremely melancholy.

When the car started the engine, Shen Lie reached out to hold Cai Cai's hand, glanced at her, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cai Cai's moist eyes stared at him, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and only after a while did he speak, "Shen Lie, can I ask you a question?" ”

Shen Lie smiled at her appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said happily, "Ask." ”

“…… Can you tell me, does grandma hate Shen Yue for what? Cai Cai asked the question that was pressed in his heart.

Shen Lie's clear eyes darkened, and his originally soft and handsome face became a little cold and hard.

Seeing that he pursed his lips and didn't speak, Cai Cai thought he was angry, so he lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked, but if I didn't, I would feel very uncomfortable......"

There are places in everyone's hearts that can't be touched, maybe this is what Shen Lie can't touch.

Cai Cai Xiang ......

Shen Lie parked the car on the side of the road, stared at her with deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "Cai Cai, there are some things that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know where to start, can you give me some time to sort them out?" I'll tell you when it's done. ”

Please give me a little more time, and I will slowly show you everything about me.

Cai Cai nodded, it was enough for him to say that.

At least he wanted to tell her, it just took time, so she gave him time.

When the car started again, there was silence in the small compartment, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Cai Cai leaned her head back in her chair and closed her eyes, trying to isolate the heaviness.

Shen Lie stared at her from the rearview mirror, and the hand holding the square plate tightened.

When the car arrived at the old house, Cai Cai was already asleep.

Shen Lie stared at her quiet face for a few minutes before unbuckling his seat belt, opening the door to Cai Cai's side, and picking her up.

Passing by the living room, Yu Limei, who was waiting for them to come back, greeted her and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Cai Cai?" ”

"She's asleep." Shen Lie gave her a reassuring smile, "Grandma, you rest early, I'll take her back to the room first." ”

"Go ahead!" Yu Limei smiled and nodded.

Her grandson is quite considerate to his daughter-in-law, and he will be a good husband in the future.

Shen Lie carried Cai Cai back to the room, he gently put her on the bed, and scratched the hair on her forehead behind her ears.

He found the cigarette and lighter in the cupboard and went to the balcony, he had no addiction to smoke and rarely smoked, except occasionally smoked one or two when he was upset.

When Cai Cai woke up, she found that there was no one on the other side of the bed, she looked around and saw no trace of Shen Lie, so she got up to look for him, and finally found him on the balcony.

She stood behind him silently, and the slender and upright figure in the moonlight, full of sadness, blended in the dark darkness, looked unusually poignant.

Cai Cai felt a slight pain in her heart, she had never seen such a Shen Lie, and subconsciously such a pain did not belong to him.

He should always be the same Shen Lie with a warm smile on his face.

Instead of the current one, it was so deep that people couldn't get close, as if a shield had been put around him.

Cai Cai took a deep breath, lifted his heavy feet, and approached him step by step.

When he got closer, he saw a red dot in his hand and an unfinished cigarette, the air was filled with thick smoke, and several cigarette butts were thrown on the ground.

It seems that he has been standing here for a long time, is it because the question she asked evokes his bad memories?

That's why a person who is agitated and smoking.

Cai Cai stepped forward and hugged him tightly from behind, her face pressed against his back.

She wanted to tell him in this way that no matter what kind of pain, she was still there for her.

Shen Lie stiffened, quickly pinched off the cigarette in his hand, covered his hand over the back of her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cai Cai rubbed his face against his back and whispered, "I can't sleep without you around." ”

It's only been a few days, and she finds that she can't sleep without him by her side, and even if she does, she will wake up unsteadily.

Shen Lie pulled her hand away, turned around and hugged her in his arms, and teased, "Miss Gu, it seems that you can't do without me anymore." ”

Cai Cai raised his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Shen, you are responsible for raising me for the rest of your life!" ”

Shen Lie nodded, "What's wrong with this, anyway, you eat so little, it's easy to raise, and you can't waste much food." ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Lie raised his hand and pinched her nose, "Let's go, I'll go to bed with you." ”

When the two of them hugged each other and lay on the bed, after being silent for a long time, Shen Lie spoke in a low and soft voice.

"Caicai."

"Huh?"

"I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

"Okay."
