Chapter 26
Xie Junnan was very good at pleasing the old man, so he immediately ran over and shouted, "Grandpa." He greeted other people, chatted with the old man about his parents, told jokes and anecdotes about abroad, and made the old man laugh for a while.
When the old man was playing chess with Zhou Jinshi, Xie Junnan watched from the sidelines, watched for a while, and then went to tease a green-haired bird hanging in a birdcage under the porch at the door.
Xia Zhi walked over and asked Xie Junnan, "How are you playing chess?" ”
Xie Junnan swore and said, "It's not to blow with you, I play chess, I have won the championship in the league, sometimes I walk on the side of the road, I can solve the endgame when I see it, I haven't met any opponents so far, and I never disdain to play with the computer." He glanced back at the living room, "It's just that I don't say anything about the real gentleman, but if I keep watching there, I'm afraid that the gentleman won't get up, so I came out for a walk." ”
Xia Zhi was relieved when he heard this, "Grandpa said that he was a little tired, let you go over and replace him, you go and go with that person, play well, don't lose face for me." ”
Xie Junnan patted his chest and said that he would definitely not lose, reassuring her, "Prepare a fruit bowl to come over and moisten my throat, watch me." With that, he turned around and went into the living room.
Summer Solstice goes to the kitchen to get a fruit plate.
When Xia Zhi came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate, Old Man Xia had already gone upstairs to take a nap, and there were only two men playing chess in the living room, and a woman watching chess on one side.
Xia Zhi walked behind Xie Junnan, saw that he frowned, and looked at the chessboard, this time he frowned, this time he frowned, this can no longer be described by a single losing word, it is simply tragic, Xie Junnan's green side was all eaten that could cross the river, and the two elephants were gone, and there was only one "Shi" left around the "General", "Bang", the last "Shi" was gone, and the green chess pieces were left with only one "General". The opposing side surrounded him in groups.
This kind of record is the summer solstice, and it is also the first time I have encountered it in my life, and I have no self-esteem when I lose.
Xie Junnan lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look at Xia Zhi's eyes.
"Brother Zhou, you are really amazing." Xia Zhen was so happy that she was about to jump up, Zhou Jinshi smiled calmly, holding a chess piece that had just been eaten by him in his hand.
Xia Zhi was stunned for a while, turned around and left with the tray, went to the garden, and fed the fruit to the golden retriever.
After a while, Xia Lei came, handed Xia Zhi a cup of flower tea, and said comfortingly, "Brother Xie is stronger than Bai Yang, and even he has a sense of existence, and grandpa likes him." ”
"His sense of existence is abused by others!" Xia Zhi was full of grievances, took a sip of flower tea, and continued to touch the golden retriever's head to smooth it. It was enough for that person to trample on her, even her boyfriend on the table had to step on it, how much he hated her, and he was not satisfied with doing so many things that hurt her!
Xia Zhi said angrily, "I don't understand, how can that person be met anywhere, what is there in our family that he can remember, every time he comes back, he can meet him, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all." ”
Xia Lei muttered, "Hey, I really don't blame him for this, grandpa said several times in front of others that he would let the family often come over to accompany him, like a grandson, and this time, according to Xiaozhen, she had to ask Zhou Jinshi to come over to check your boyfriend for you." ”
Xia Zhi seemed to hear a big joke and snorted, "My boyfriend wants him to check it??" ”
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Zhen looking for an excuse to get close to others!"
"Jane...... Small...... I remember that two years ago, Xiao Zhen was not studying abroad? ”
"When you came back two years later, she was also studying abroad, and she took a leave of absence to come back to see you, but since she met Zhou Jin, she turned back, and she was called 'homesick'."
Xia Zhi was silent, looking at the sky, could she tell her sister everything that bastard did? In case Zhou Jinshi really likes Xiao Zhen, he would have let her and her father go because of Xiao Zhen, if she ruined the relationship between them like that, with that person's style, she and her father would have died miserably!
Xia Lei sat on the grass and patted Xia Zhi's shoulder, also with a melancholy expression, "If he really gets along with Xiao Zhen, he will enter the door of our Xia family in the future, and his tail will not reach the sky, and there will still be a place for you and my other half?" ”
Xia Zhi's hand tightened, and he didn't feel that he grabbed the golden retriever, the golden retriever screamed, got up and jumped and ran, Xia Zhi's hand was empty, and he slapped it on the grass, "If he really enters the door of the Xia family, I won't go back here in the future." ”
Xia Lei said, "Sister, in fact, we can think of it from the other side, he wants to enter this door, and he is also the youngest, so he has to call us sister!" ”
imagined that Zhou Jinshi would call her sister, and there was a chill on the summer solstice.
The aunt came over and called the two to come over for dinner, and Xia Lei asked the aunt, "Are you done playing chess?" ”
The aunt said, "It seems that it is still down, and you should have taken it in the past." ”
Xia Lei couldn't help asking, "Did Brother Xie break back a game?" ”
The aunt smiled, "What Miss Six said, how can I know chess, but I just see that Miss Seven has been clapping her hands excitedly, and she is so happy that she can't do it, and she says something vigorously, 'There is only one single veteran left'." ”
Xia Zhi and Xia Lei's faces were cold at the same time, and they decided to sit for a while before going back.
On the table, the old man is in charge, on the left, Zhou Jinshi, Xia Zhen, on the right, Xia Zhi, Xie Junnan, Xia Lei.
The old man asked Xia Zhi, "Xinxin hasn't been here for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”
Xia Zhi said, "Her school curriculum has been tight recently, and she has to take care of her aunt. She didn't mention Xie Junnan's matter to Xinxin, and naturally she didn't tell her when she came over today.
The old man asked again, "How is Dong Ling doing lately?" ”
Xia Zhi said sullenly, "It's still the same." ”
The old man asked Xie Junnan what his plans were for returning to China, chatted a few words, and talked to Zhou Jinshi again.
The summer solstice is seen, and Zhou Jinshi will always be the first thing that the old man attaches importance to.
The old man's approach was not completely useless, after all, her father's affairs did not deteriorate any further, and Sheng Yuan proposed to withdraw the prosecution, and only the prosecution remained.
This is also the reason why Xia Zhi can endure to eat at the same table with him.
After the meal, Zhou Jinshi did not go to Xie Junnan, but Xie Junnan eagerly went to Zhou Jinshi and asked to play chess with him again.
Zhou Jinshi looked at Xie Junnan's gaze a little strangely, "Mr. Xie still wants to go down?" There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
Seeing this scene, Xia Zhen ran over and said, "Brother Xie, I'll go with you." ”
"You ......" Xie Junnan felt insulted, he didn't feel so heartbroken when he was eaten nine games just now, and when the two women were watching just now, they could hear that this little sister was the most defeated one in their family's chess.
Xia Zhen pouted, "Brother Xie, you look down on me, can Brother Zhou help me watch behind me when I go down, isn't this belittled for you!" ”
In fact, it was still belittled, but Xie Junnan was embarrassed to refuse.
Xia Zhen looked at Zhou Jinshi inquiringly.
Zhou Jinshi smiled and did not object.
Xia Lei whispered to Xia Zhi on the side, "Those two are the men who together bully you." ”
Although Xia Zhi didn't like Xia Lei's words to Xie Junnan, she was even more disgusted with Zhou Jinshi's domineering appearance, the bad guy Xie Junnan came over today to save face for her, as an ally, she has the obligation to protect his face, besides, his face at this time also represents her face.
Xia Zhi walked over, stood next to Xie Junnan, and said to Xia Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, I'll follow you." ”
Xia Zhen was also very happy, "Okay, in that case......" When she looked back at Zhou Jin, "Brother Zhou, don't mention it to me for a while, I'm about the same level as Sister Zhi." ”
Zhou Jinshi said, "Okay." ”
Xie Junnan said to Xia Zhi, "Do you want me to mention something to you?" ”
Xia Zhiwang didn't look at him either, and said lightly, "No." ”
Zhou Jinshi smiled, looked at the two women, and felt more interesting.
After setting up the chess game, the two women sat down intently, with a man standing behind them, Xia Lei stood in the middle, took out her mobile phone and took a few photos ...... "pop papa" and sent them to the brother and sister group.
Xia Zhen didn't play for a long time in the end, and lost to Xia Zhi in two pots, and was forced by Xia Zhi to be left with only a single old "handsome".
Xia Zhen's face turned red in a hurry, and she glanced sideways at Zhou Jinshi from time to time, but seeing that he looked like he was watching a play, he really didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning it.
Xie Junnan was in a good mood, and he had the pleasure of washing his shame, handing fruits to the summer solstice for a while, and water for a while, and he was very happy.
After the fifth set, Xia Zhen still only had one "handsome" left.
Xie Junnan couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Zhen called out aggrievedly, "Sister." ”
Xia Zhi was casual, took the water handed over by Xie Junnan, took a sip, and handed it over to Xie Junnan like the queen mother, looking at Xia Zhen faintly, "Are you still coming?" ”
Xia Zhen shook her head.
Xia Lei "snapped ......" took a few endgames and sent them to the brothers and sisters.
Someone in the group has already reacted.
Second brother working in a foreign embassy: Who are these two men?
Xia Lei: You two brothers-in-law?
Second brother: Yours and Xiaozhen's?
Xia Lei: Don't get me wrong, it's my sister's and Xiaozhen's, didn't my Bai Yang post a photo here last time? How to forget!
The third brother on a domestic business trip: Is the one behind Xiaozhen Zhou Jinshi!
Xia Lei: You guessed it!
Third brother: Has he really become Xiaozhen's boyfriend?
Xia Lei: Almost!
But looking at the expressions of the two getting along, they are a little intimate but not affectionate, especially Xia Zhen, who always looks at his face when he talks to Zhou Jinshi, as if he is not happy.
When she returned to the city, Xia Zhen took Xia Zhi's hand, "Sister Zhi, Brother Zhou and I will take your car, when we came over in the morning, Brother Zhou's driver sent us over, and his car was not here." ”
Xia Zhi wanted to say no, but there was no reason, Xia Lei had to go to the airport to pick up people.
The four of them got into the car, Xie Junnan sat in the co-pilot, and Xia Zhen and Zhou Jinshi sat in the back seat.
The car slowly drove down the hillside, Xia Zhi's eyes looked ahead, and for a moment, she really wanted to find an excuse to drive Xia Zhen and Xie Junnan down, and then kicked the accelerator, drove to the highest place in the mountain, rushed up, and then fell, even if it was worth it.
