Yan Xi looked puzzled, and quickly guessed: "Could it be that the little aunt and the little uncle are also divorced?" ”

Ruan Shu naturally noticed that he used the word "also", and her heart paused, and she gently knocked on the door of his head: "Children don't need to know so many adult things. ”

"I'm not a child...... Yan Xi muttered, "four or five years old are children." ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

so as not to childishly discuss with him about the age division of "little children". He likes to be a little adult, so let him be a ......

"Do you have anything else? I have to go home. She asked, gesturing to leave again—I had to get his words out.

As she expected, Yan Xi was busy and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Little aunt, you wait." ”

His eyes were full of anticipation: "Can't you stay with me a little longer?" ”

Ruan Shu shook his head: "I have other things to do." It happened to be a bit empty today. ”

Yan Xi didn't speak, his expression revealed a thick entanglement and hesitation: "I ......"

"What are you?"

"I ......," Yan Xi hesitated, "Little aunt, you ...... Do you know my dad too? ”

In the last three words, he seemed to have mustered up all his courage, and his expression was a little nervous after asking.

Ruan Shu was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly that it was Chen Qingzhou who he wanted to inquire.

Turning his mind, in fact, it is reasonable - when he grows so big, he still doesn't know his father, and anyone will be curious.

But...... Unfortunately, she could only lie: "I don't know." ”

Yan Xi unhurriedly pierced: "Little aunt, you don't have to lie to me, do I look like my father?" So you'll be surprised to see me that night and will continue to talk to me. ”

Ruan Shu stared at his face and frowned slightly-this kid ......

She didn't say anything for a while.

In Yan Xi's view, this is equivalent to acquiescence. He smiled softly, and the slightly exposed teeth and one of the front teeth were in the stage of tooth replacement, and a small half of the new tooth had just erupted.

Ruan Shu exhaled lightly and patted his head: "Go back." No more asking. ”

"My aunt misunderstood." Yan Xi shook his head, "I don't want to know who my dad is. ”

Ruan Shu was surprised again.

Yan Xi looked at her steadily: "My mother doesn't want me to know who my father is, I don't want her to be unhappy." Auntie, you must have promised my mother not to tell me, I won't embarrass you, so aunt and uncle don't have to tell me who my father is. ”

His sensibility gave rise to an indescribable feeling in her heart. The dim light of the streetlamp softened the lines of his face, stretching his figure long, as if it were not a nine-year-old child standing in front of her at this moment.

"But......" Yan Xi's words shifted, "but I want to know what he looks like." How old is he, how tall is he, is he fat or thin, does he have long or short hair, does he have single or double eyelids...... Auntie, can you describe it to me? I...... I want to have an impression of him in my head...... I don't know what to think he's right......"

When the last word came out, he had already walked in front of her, leaned closer to her, tilted his face, and gently scratched the corner of her clothes with his fingers: "Little aunt......"

Because of the angle of the light, his eyes shone faintly with water, and his long, dark eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids. His expression was earnest, looking at her earnestly, with a hint of anticipation.

Ruan Shu lowered his eyes and looked at him silently, but finally shook his head and re-emphasized the correction: "I am no longer your little aunt, don't call me my little aunt anymore." ”

Yan Xi's face was immediately full of disappointment and loss, and he slowly let go of his hand, dropped his arm, and lowered his head.

Ruan Shu just pretended not to see it, looked over his head, and looked at the two hedgehogs next to each other on the bench: "If Koko stays in your hands, your mother will find out." ”

Yan Xi walked over silently, and she hugged Koko over, and when she handed it to her, her face was no longer frustrated and deflated, and she seemed to be reinvigorated, and asked, "Can I continue to ask my little aunt to bring Koko to play with Ah Zhen in the future?" ”

This kid seems to be looking for an excuse to continue to see her. Ruan Shu didn't explicitly agree, but said, "Say it again." ”

Yan Xi seemed to take this as her consent, smiled, hugged Ah Needle and waved goodbye to her: "Goodbye, little aunt." ”

……

After going back, she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and found that Yan Xi's text message came in more than ten minutes ago on her mobile phone: "Little aunt, have you arrived home safely?" ”

This intimate little act full of gentlemanly feeling made Ruan Shu want to laugh very much, and quickly replied: "It's time for me to ask you, have you arrived home safely?" ”

"I'm already in bed and ready for bed." Yan Xi answered the question first, and then said, "My aunt is a lady, I am a man, and men care about women, as they should." And my mom said that there are a lot of bad people at night, so don't stay outside when it's too late. ”

Ruan Shu curled the corners of his lips and sent it over: "You usually like to talk to your mother like this?" ”

"Nope. My mom was busy. I rarely give information, which affects her ability to concentrate on catching the bad guys. ”

Ruan Shu stared at the text and froze his fingers slightly.

She didn't reply for too long, and Yan Xi took the initiative to ask again: "Is my little aunt asleep?" ”

"I'm not your aunt anymore." Ruan Shu corrected it for the third time.

"But it's strange to call you 'ex-aunt'." Yan Xi explained.

"Shout back 'Big Sister.'" Ruan Shu suggested.

"No, it's messed up and rude."

Ruan Shu: "......" is talking about seniority now? Why did you shout so well before?

However, when he mentioned the words "messed up the generations", she unconsciously thought of every time her brother called her "Sister Ruan", Fu Lingyuan always had to correct it, but Gege didn't change it.

After a second of flickering thoughts, Ruan Shu came back to his senses and planned to end the chat: "Go to sleep." Small children should not play with their phones for too long. ”

Yan Xi obediently said: "Okay." Good night to my aunt. Ah Needle also said good night to Koko. ”

Ruan Shu smiled and looked at Koko in the corner.

Koko stopped on the running wheel, a pair of small eyes staring in her direction, his expression dazed.

"Good night." Ruan Shu replied, pondered for a moment, and finally added, "If you want to know what your father looks like, look in the mirror yourself." ”

After sending it, she threw her phone aside, turned over and hugged the big bear on the side - first Huang Jinrong, then Yan Xi, she seems to have been chatting with the old and the young recently......

And Huang Jinrong, since the blind date incident made her angry, she didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't bother anymore. If he knew that there was a grandson, he would definitely have to smile with several folds on his face, not to mention that Yan Xi was still such a precocious and sensible child.

As for Chen Qingzhou......

Ruan Shu's thoughts were not shaken by the increasingly frequent contact with Yan Xi - the matter between him and Fu Qingci, as an outsider, she could not be involved.

……

The next morning, Ruan Shu came back from a morning run outside, and unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Lin Pu: "Sister, have you forgotten me again?" Didn't you say that you would make an appointment when you were free? It's been more than half a month, and there has been no movement from you. Are you missing again? ”

"Not missing. I don't have to worry about making an appointment with you, you're busy and unavailable, so I'll disturb your work. ”

"Sister, you deliberately laughed at me again......" At the end of the sentence, there was an unusually aggrieved expression.

This kind of suspected behavior of selling cuteness, in fact, he has done it a lot before. But now Ruan Shu feels weird and feels that it is not suitable for him, especially the gradual and mature changes that she noticed from him when they met last time, which made her feel even more disobedient.

In WeChat, Lin Pu then sent a message: "Today weekend, I have time, do you want to come out and exercise together?" ”

Thinking that tomorrow would be the day for Huaxing and Lin's bidding, Ruan Shu did not refuse.

When she arrived at the sports center, Lin Pu was still climbing in the rock climbing gym, turning her head from the top and waving to her with her usual sunny smile.

Ruan Shu also waved his hand in response.

Soon Lin Pu came down.

Ruan Shu looked at the muscles in his arm and teased: "It seems that you are stronger than before." ”

Lin Pu propped up his two arms and took a posture: "I've always exercised, but I was blocked by clothes before." Sister, you don't have a chance to see it. ”

"Are you flaunting yourself as a little fresh meat?"

"Am I not?" Lin Pu asked rhetorically.

Ruan Shuna squinted at him: "Give you some sunshine and you will be brilliant." ”

"That's thanks to my sister for giving sunshine." Lin Pu deliberately clasped his hands into fists, and left the climbing gym with her with a smile, "What does my sister like to play?" I'm with you. ”

Since I came to the sports center, I must have to sweat before leaving. Ruan Shuben also came out with half of the purpose of exercising, and after a few glances, he found that today because of the weekend, there are more people, and almost every venue has people. And these venues are often booked in advance, and she is afraid that she can only find an unpopular project on a whim.

Lin Pu saw her thoughts: "Sister, you don't have to worry, you can pick whatever you like, I have friends who work here." ”

Ruan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and joked: "Okay, I'm getting more and more capable." ”

Lin Pu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, and explained simply: "It's just that I've been here a lot, and occasionally I will play ball or play games together, and I will slowly get acquainted." ”

Ruan Shu was not polite, and immediately pointed to the squash court.

Lin Pu's friend was very reliable, and it didn't take long for him to arrange it. It was also a stroke of luck that a guest temporarily canceled the appointment, and there was a two-hour gap before the next batch of guests.

Ruan Shu didn't expect that Lin Pu's squash ball was very good.

After about an hour of fighting, she was still not equal, her physical strength was a little unbearable, she shouted a timeout, and sat directly on the ground to rest.

Lin Pu went out to the vending machine to buy two bottles of water, came back, sat next to her, and meticulously unscrewed the lid before handing her the water.

"Thank you." Ruan Shu took it, raised his head and took a few sips, then put down the bottle and sighed, "My mature woman is really not as young as you." ”

Lin Pu smiled: "Sister, you are not a few years older than me at all." ”

Ruan Shu turned his face and looked at him: "You also love sports when you were in Japan?" ”

"Sister, haven't you seen all those pictures of me living in Japan?" Lin Pu leaned back, stood on the ground with his elbows to support his upper body, and turned his head to show her white teeth, "It's just boring, I love to go out with my fox friends for cycling, climbing, rock climbing, kicking football, diving, and doing any pastime, so I didn't deliberately go to sports at first." It's just that after returning to China, I basically stayed in the company, and rarely had the opportunity to go out, so I took the time to come to the gym and sports center. ”

Ruan Shu recalled that she had indeed visited Lin Pu's bachelor apartment once, and the purpose of that time was to find out if she could find some anomalies in Lin Pu there, because she had always believed that Lin Pu was not as innocent as she seemed on the surface.

However, I didn't realize it at the time, but his photo wall was full of records of his life in Japan, as well as many pictures of Japanese scenery he took, and he was a big boy who loved photography (see chapter 160).

By the way, also, in those photos, he is wearing glasses.

Ruan Shu's thoughts suddenly paused for a moment on two things: "hobby photography" and "wearing glasses". Inexplicably, there seemed to be some flash of inspiration, but she didn't catch it.

After thinking about it, she turned the topic around to the focus of today's meeting with him, and pretended to ask unintentionally, "Aren't you busy?" Last time you even had lunch with me, your assistant called you. ”

"No matter how busy you are, you have to give people time to breathe, right?" Lin Pu smiled and leisurely bent one of his feet.

The first time I had the opportunity to see him wearing shorts, at this close range, Ruan Shu saw that his calf muscles were tight and his leg hair was relatively thick, which was slightly inconsistent with the image he presented in his previous appearance. She thought she should correct her impression of him—that he was a man, not a boy.

"I remember you said that you were in charge of the case of rice health products, right? When to bid? Ruan Shu chuckled and looked back at his face, "It doesn't look like there's any pressure on you." ”

"Sister, don't mention work to me. If I weren't stressed, I wouldn't have run out to relax. Lin Pu immediately changed to a headache expression, "Tomorrow's bidding day, in fact, I will have to continue to eat the bidding documents when I go back in a while." ”

"Aunt Wang's due date is not next month, the time is getting closer and closer, and my dad is getting more and more nervous. From time to time, I also asked the secretary to bring the documents to me and ask me to deal with them. How dare I overstep my authority? The directors have actually complained a little bit about him. ”

Ruan Shu chuckled when he heard this: "Yes, your father deliberately let you go." ”

"Where did you let go? The most I'm going to do is just get started. While speaking, Lin Pu raised a hand and clenched it into a fist and gently slapped his own head twice, and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang is not in good health, my father only cares about Aunt Wang, and there is no one else in the family who can make a match, so now even the preparations for the eldest sister's marriage have fallen on my shoulders." ”

Lin Xiang's marriage...... Ruan Shu smiled faintly: "You should be glad that the woman has fewer Zhang Luo than the man." ”

Lin Pu was silent for a moment, his expression was faintly indescribable, and finally he didn't say anything more, and then asked, "Sister, will you come to the wedding?" My dad said he had an invitation for you. In the position of our Lin family, we have reserved a seat for you. ”

Got a seat? Ruan Shu frowned very lightly, and couldn't help but laugh mockingly-this Lin Chengzhi really didn't invite him casually.

"Sister is not coming?" Lin Pu observed her expression and guessed.

Ruan Shuguaner: "What kind of fun am I going to make?" Your eldest sister won't want to see me. ”

"Actually, I also think it's good for my sister not to go, lest Aunt Wang say something ugly." Lin Pu expressed his understanding, and immediately held the racket and asked, "Do you want to continue playing?" ”

Ruan Shu glanced at the time, remembering that he still had an appointment with Li Mao, so he shook his head: "No, let's fight another day." Didn't you say you were going back to eat the bids? ”

Lin Pu probably originally meant the same thing, didn't say anything, nodded, took the lead in getting up from the ground, and then naturally stretched out his hand to her.

Ruan Shu hesitated for only a second, but did not refuse, held his hand, and let go without a trace after standing up with strength.

Lin Pu took the initiative to take her racket and walked out with her: "Sister, do you want to eat something together by the way?" ”

"Just after exercising, you called me to eat, you were careful?" Ruan Shu rolled his eyes.

Lin Pu looked at her: "Sister, your figure is so good, what are you afraid of?" ”

"There is no woman who is not afraid of being fat." Ruan Shu shrugged.

Lin Pu smiled, not reluctantly: "That's okay, then let's change the day." I'll go return the racket first. We'll meet at the door in a moment. ”

"Okay." Ruan Shu bowed.

Lin Pu turned around and parted ways with her for the time being.

His sweatshirt was all soaked with sweat, and his back was dark. Probably because of the heat, he rolled up the sleeves on his arms and lifted the hem of his shirt in half, blowing in to breathe and dissipate heat.

Ruan Shu was going to go to the women's locker room to take a shower and change clothes, but at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the black mark on the back of his waist.

The figure froze for a moment, and she thought she was delusional, staring straight at it for several seconds.
