April had a little sleep and woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon.

She lifted the quilt and walked to the living room wearing Li Yu's slippers, and saw Li Yu sitting on the sofa from a distance, his shoulders shaking slightly, as if he was writing and drawing something. She stepped forward, leaned over slightly and looked forward, accidentally stepped on something at her feet, only to hear a squeak, Li Yu seemed to be awakened, shocked, and turned around.

"Are you awake?" There was a hint of unconsciously stiffness in his tone.

"Well, just woke up."

April replied and looked to the ground, revealing that she had stepped on a small yellow duckling.

She bent down and picked up the duckling from the ground and pinched it with her hand curiously.

Squeak crunch -

Seeing this, Li Yu's expression was a little relaxed, and he raised his eyebrows funny, explaining: "This is the last time my little niece came here to play. After saying that, he added: "If you like it, take it." ”

April listened, looked at him embarrassedly, and put the little duck in his hand on the coffee table beside him. Then, she turned around and returned her gaze to the drawing paper in his hand.

The paper had been closed by him.

"Were you still working?" April asked.

"Oh." Li Yu sandwiched the drawing paper in the book and shook the book at her, "I just had a little inspiration, so I simply drew some design sketches. ”

"Oh, that's right." April nodded, looked at him with some concern, and said, "Did I just bother you?" ”

"No, I'm almost finished." Li Yu got up, put the book in his hand on a row of bookshelves on the inner wall of the living room, and then turned his head to April and said, "I just saw that you were sleeping fragrantly, so I didn't call you, you are hungry now, I'll give you a bowl of dumplings." ”

"Okay." April nodded, and asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Did you buy the quick-frozen dumplings?" ”

When Li Yu heard this, he shook his head sternly and said seriously: "Quick-frozen food is too unhealthy, you won't eat much in the future." ”

After speaking, seeing April nodding honestly, he smiled with satisfaction.

"I made these dumplings myself, but I bought the fillings ready-made, and I was afraid that the taste would not be well controlled." As he spoke, he smiled shyly at her.

April followed him into the kitchen and watched as he expertly turned on the gas stove, poured cold water, and covered the pot. Waiting for the hot water to boil open, Li Yu showed her the dumplings he had made himself. Not to mention, the bags are delicate and cute, and they look like little ears from a distance.

Li Yu said: "I still learned to make dumplings from my aunt, I always liked to run to my aunt's house when I was a child, and over time, I learned to make dumplings." ”

Speaking of Sister-in-law Li, April thought of something, and said with some hesitation: "Speaking of Sister-in-law Li, I haven't told her about my relationship with you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Why don't you say it, if you want to say it, I have to tell her in person." ”

However, it still feels a little awkward. April thought sullenly.

Sensing her heart, Li Yu gently took him in his arms, patted her back, and gently coaxed her: "Don't worry too much, after I take you to meet my parents tomorrow, I will personally call Sister-in-law Li to tell her." ”

"Hmm." April was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded in agreement.

After agreeing, the water happened to boil, and Li Yu carefully put the dumplings into the boiling water. After waiting for a few more moments, when the dumplings were boiled and floating, he turned off the heat and carefully put the dumplings into a bowl.

He is really very experienced, and the cooked dumplings are crystal clear and plump, and each one is in good condition.

April sat face-to-face with him at a small table, each eating dumplings in their bowls. The weather in October was not too hot, but the two of them still ate and sweated profusely. As they ate, they looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

When it was time to sleep at night, Li Yu gave up the master bedroom to April, and he moved to the guest bedroom to sleep. April felt embarrassed and wanted to change with him, but Li Yu insisted on not letting him, so he had to give up.

I thought that if I stayed in a strange environment, I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night, but I don't know if the bed was too comfortable.

Early the next morning, April deliberately wore a slim and elegant dress and a pair of white diamond-encrusted wedge sandals on her feet. She stood in the sink of the bathroom, her black hair loosely pulled up, lining the slender neck of the woman in the mirror.

Li Yu knocked on the door outside and asked in a loud voice, "April, are you okay?" ”

"Alright." April A.

She turned around and opened the door, raised her eyes and smiled at Li Yu: "How is it, is it okay for me to dress like this?" ”

The smiling woman looked quiet and gentle, and she didn't lose her temperament, Li Yu looked at it and didn't feel a little distracted. He didn't speak for a long time, and April began to get nervous, and asked tentatively, "Why don't I go and change it again?" ”

She didn't have a few clothes to bring out, and she didn't know which one to change.

Li Yu immediately came back to his senses, and there was a strange brilliance in his eyes. He smiled and complimented aloud, "April, you look so beautiful today." As he spoke, he slowly extended his hand to her.

When April heard this, she pursed her lips slightly, and smiled a little shyly: "Thank you." ”

Immediately, her gaze fell on the man's outstretched hand, and she stared for a few seconds, then slowly placed her hand on his palm.

It seems that this time she reached out and put her life in his hands.

At eight o'clock in the morning, April got into Li Yu's car, and when she saw the fruit basket on the back seat, she was slightly stunned.

Li Yu has been paying attention to her actions, and when he saw that she was staring straight at the basket of fruits, he explained softly: "I just saw you dressing up, so I went down to buy some fruits first, and you can give these fruits to my parents in a while, the first time we meet, you don't need to be too extravagant." ”

April replied softly, warm for his attentiveness.

She didn't know what gift to give when she first met her elders, as early as when she was in Z City, she had already bought a pair of bracelets in a gold store. At this moment, the pair of bracelets was lying quietly in her bag.

She thought to herself, it seems that she will have to wait until the next time we meet.

The car drove steadily, and when it arrived at Li Yu's house, it was almost half past nine.

In front of me is a warm and comfortable small bungalow, divided into two floors, about more than 200 square meters. It is surrounded by a white fence with a variety of beautiful flowers.

She followed Li Yu out of the car, her mind was blank, and Li Yu took her hand and walked in.

"Yo, Xiaoyu, you're back."

Suddenly, a slightly old male voice sounded, and April followed the prestige, and what appeared in his vision was an old man squatting by the flowers and plants. At the moment, he was wearing a wide hat and sleeves on his hands, and he looked like he was repairing a flower garden.

"Dad, why are you here, why don't you take it with you in the house."

When Li Yu saw it, he complained with concern, and hurriedly walked to the old man's side and helped him stand up. Father Li patted the dust on his body, with a kind smile on his face, and said, "Isn't this a long vacation, I'm idle, I just want to take care of these flowers and plants, and I can also exercise my body." ”

As he spoke, Father Li's eyes turned to April, a gentle light flashed in his eyes, and he beckoned to her with a smile and said, "This is April, hello." ”

Infected by the kindness in the old man's eyes, the tension in April's heart subsided a little, she bent down slightly, and said politely, "Hello uncle." ”

"Okay, let's go, go and sit in the house, Xiaoyu and his mother and sister are waiting for you inside."

As he spoke, Father Li took the lead and signaled to April.

His pace is steady and he seems to be physically tough.

April replied softly, her palms warmed, and when she turned around, Li Yu didn't know when she took her hand again.

The two followed Li's father into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Father Li shouted into the house: "Wife, come on, Xiaoyu is back with his girlfriend." ”

Then, with the sound of ping-pong, a girl with messy hair ran down the spiral staircase.

"Brother, you're finally back, your old sister and I miss you to death." She shouted angrily, and when she saw April standing next to Li Yu, she stumbled and almost tripped.

Li Yu's eyes were quick, he held her up, frowned, and educated her: "It's so big, why are you still so reckless." ”

When the girl heard this, she stuck out her tongue at him, turned her head, held April's arm affectionately, and said sweetly: "This is April's sister-in-law, hello, your name is Li Lanlan, and Li Yu is my brother." ”

"Hello, my name is Lin April." April said.

Li Lanlan raised a bright smile and said enthusiastically: "I have heard my brother mention you a long time ago. As she spoke, she looked at Mu Mu's stunned April, tugged at her arm, and said, "Why are you still standing, come, sit down." ”

April followed her and sat on the sofa, her eyes subconsciously looked at Li Yu, Li Yu winked at her, April saw it, and her heart slowly calmed down.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know, you're the girl my brother brought home for the first time in five years." Li Lanlan was a small chatter, and said endlessly: "My parents urged him many times, but he was stunned that he didn't have a girlfriend, this time, he brought you back, it can be seen that he has made up his mind to get married." ”

April listened carefully to her, and her mind was completely relaxed. Li Yu really didn't lie to her, his family members have a good personality.

"Sister-in-law, how did you and my brother meet?" Li Lanlan blinked her eyes and gossiped on her face.

April came back to her senses, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Speaking of which, I know him, and it is still the thread that Sister-in-law Li indirectly pulls." ”

When Li Lanlan heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, "Sister-in-law Li? ”

"Oh, it's Li Yu's aunt."

"It turns out that my aunt introduced you to you." Li Lanlan's eyes lit up, and then, her eyes dimmed again, and she said in a low voice: "My aunt is just too stubborn, my father asked her to move over, she just didn't want to, she would rather rely on her own hands to support herself." ”

"Hmm." Sister-in-law Li is indeed a very strong person.

April patiently listened to Li Lanlan's tirade, occasionally nodding in response. After a while, Li Yu walked out with his mother.

"April, this is my mom."

April looked up and was greeted by a very temperamental middle-aged woman, about fifty years old, with the same gentle smile on her face. When April saw it, he quickly got up, bowed to Mother Li, and said solemnly: "Hello aunt, my name is April." ”
