.......................

Rong Xiu had no way to stop Rong Yaoguo at all-

He was almost brought up by his grandfather, and he respected and loved his grandfather, except for the previous engagement banquet, he really didn't want to let himself live a hasty life and didn't participate in it and resisted the blind date arranged by his grandfather later, the word disobedience did not exist in his attitude towards Rong Yaoguo.

"Grandpa, my pool here is particularly beautiful, do you want to see it?"

Rong Yaoguo squinted at him: "Do you want to see a dried plum vegetable floating on the soup?" Your grandfather and I didn't bring swim trunks today. ”

"......" Rong Xiu was speechless by this description, "Then why don't you visit the study?" There are a lot of documents on Yung's recent projects in the study, you must be interested-"

This time, Rong Yaoguo directly replied to him with a white eye that almost reached the Tianling Gai, and then walked directly to the restaurant.

Rong Xiu: "......"

Since you can't stop it, you just don't stop it.

He thought of all kinds of ways to deal with it, as well as what he planned to say after the little girl was discovered, and even how to appease the little girl in the future.

But when I walked into the restaurant, the person who was sitting in the seat was gone.

Where did she go, how did she go, and when did she disappear...... None of these cultivators knew anything.

The helplessness that Rong Yaoguo brought him just now froze on Rong Xiu's handsome face for half a second, and then it turned into a deeper level of helplessness.

Rong Yaoguo stood at the door of the restaurant, glanced coldly at the empty dining table, and when he saw the half-drawn chair, a trace of shrewdness flashed in his fierce eyes.

He walked over without a trace, his hand touching the back of his chair in an indistinguishable manner.

Well, there's still the temperature in the ......

Rong Xiu: "I was sitting here just now. ”

"Really? I don't seem to ask you anything, do I? Rong Yaoguo said lightly.

Rong Xiu: "......"

Immediately afterwards, the old man walked into the kitchen without hurrying, and first opened the refrigerator.

He frowned when he saw that it was empty and there was almost no food.

Then I turned the kitchen inside and out, then the study, the living room, the balcony, the bedroom......

He was a little surprised to see some rainbow pillows and the like, but the decoration of this apartment was all handled by Yi Cheng, and although the old man knew Rong Xiu, he didn't know his assistant.

This taste...... I don't know whose it is.

After turning around, Rong Yaoguo's gaze finally fell on the door panel of the cloakroom.

.......................

In the closet, Xia Nianxi hid behind Rong Xiu's rows of coats, and his little hands tightly pinched the hem of one of his cashmere coats.

She was still wrapped in a blanket, wearing only a small pair of underwear, and nothing else, so she was picked up from the bed by Rong Xiu and taken to the dining room.

So the moment she heard her grandfather's voice, she didn't have time to think, she had already stood up, walked around the bedroom from outside the balcony, and ran to the cloakroom.

The sound of approaching footsteps outside settled into her heart like a little monster, and the tension was like the sharp claws of a little monster, ready to tear her scalp at any moment.

With a snap, the cloakroom light was turned on.

Xia Nianxi's little hands squeezed tighter, silently curling up each of his little toes.

At this moment, she was really grateful to Rong Xiu for his height of one meter and eighty-seven meters and his habit of wearing coats all year round, because these rows of coats were enough to hide her seamlessly.

Unless grandpa has X-rays......

The footsteps are getting closer, five, four, three, two, one......

The voices of the two people talking were close to the ears, "Recently, you were asked to go on a blind date, and you only went once, why don't you make an appointment with the second place?" ”

"I'll make an appointment." Rong Xiu stood in front of the row of coats without a trace, blocking the old man's view.

"When?"

"Tonight."

The first time such a crisp answer had already made the old man's resentment accumulated over the past few days because Rong Xiu did not go home subside a lot, and he hummed nonchalantly, and looked around the cloakroom again.

Not a single woman's dress.

I couldn't tell if it was disappointment or what, the old man patted Rong Xiu's shoulder, "Well, after the blind date, if you see the right girl, remember to take it home for a meal." ”

Rong Xiu smiled and sent his grandfather to the door very gently.

Rong Yaoguo sighed again before leaving, "Ah Xiu, grandpa wants to see you marry and have children more than anyone else, you understand, right?" ”

"I understand." Rong Xiu pressed the downward button of the elevator, "I still have to go to the company, strive to get off work early tonight, let Yicheng arrange the location of the restaurant, and I will go on a blind date." ”

Rong Yaoguo was completely satisfied, patted his grandson on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and left here surrounded by the driver and maid who were waiting for him at the door.

Rong Xiu closed the door, returned to the cloakroom, and stood in front of his row of coats, his eyes a little heavy.

He didn't want to talk to her in a rough voice, but for a while, he really didn't know whether to be glad that his grandfather didn't find out and scared her away, or whether he should be frustrated that she hid in order not to be found out by his grandfather......

He was confused for a while, and his tone was naturally not very good: "Grandpa is gone, come out!" ”

"Oh-" Xia Nianxi replied with a sullen head inside, wondering how he found out that he was here.

But as soon as she lifted the row of coats, she saw his terrible face.

Her steps were so chaotic that she suddenly stepped on the blanket that had slipped off her body and fell forward hard.

Rong Xiu didn't have time to help her, when he heard a bang, Xia Nianxi's head hit the cabinet next to him.

"......" she snorted, not knowing whether to cover her bulging forehead first, or to pull up the blanket and wrap herself up first, or whether she should take another look at his face...... I was at a loss for a while, and I was stunned there.

Rong Xiu: "......"

Angered by her stupid appearance, Rong Xiu bent down to pick up the blanket, pulled her over and pressed her whole body in his arms, and then wrapped it in the blanket.

Xia Nianxi's shoulder was pulled by him a little painfully, and when he raised his eyes and saw his tight handsome face, he knew that he was angry.

She pinched the blanket a little helplessly, biting her mouth, and her cheeks bulged like a little frog.

The two of them just stood in the cloakroom, not talking.

After a while, she stood a little numb in her legs, and then reached out and pulled his sleeve, "Am I...... Sorry to bother you? ”

Didn't grandpa keep letting him go on blind dates? So if grandpa sees that she is still here, he may not be happy.

She actually didn't understand what he was angry about.

But seeing him so angry, she suddenly didn't want him to be unhappy, so she spoke up a little and asked tentatively.

Rong Xiu was annoyed because he yelled at her just now, thinking about how to remedy it. At this moment, when he heard her open her mouth first, and said such a thing, the little anger in his heart had already dissipated.

Looking at her with only a blanket wrapped in her body, her hair a little scattered, and her face at a loss and apology, he sighed, held back the discomfort in his heart and said dumbly, "No." Go get dressed. ”

"Really, not?" She was still a little unsure, because the face on his face was terrible.

Even if she eased up now, she couldn't forget what he had just looked like.

Rong Xiu took a deep breath, "Even if there were, would you care?" ”

He asked extremely seriously and deeply, and the persistence in his tone made Xia Nianxi actually start to think seriously.

Rong Xiu didn't speak, and after asking, he stared at her little head and waited for her to answer.

Not surprisingly, Xia Nianxi was silent again.

And after a few seconds, she still pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Rong Xiu felt that he had been abused by her, and now he was not even angry, and he was ready to give up this problem.

"I'll be worried."

Xia Nianxi's small, thin voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

I don't know why, the moment her last note fell, he felt the unevenness that had been wandering in his chest, and suddenly it subsided.

His eyes were staring straight at her, and his long fingers pinched her chin, making her look at herself as well.

When they looked at each other, a warm warmth began to float in his eyes.

And Xia Nianxi's face was all red, and the sentence just now, she swore that it was the only and first thing she said in her life.

Even to Meng Yao, she didn't say such things, the way the two girls get along with each other will not be as gentle as now, they are used to each other's knives and mouths, and express everything with actions.

If she said to Meng Yao one day I'm worried about you, maybe Meng Yao would think she had a high fever.

If Meng Yao said this to her, then she would feel that Meng Yao was fine.

So God knows how much courage and strength it took her to say it just now.

So much so that her palms are now covered with fine sweat, and they are all wet.

The wrinkles in Rong Xiu's heart that had been tortured by her before were smoothed out at this moment, and her heart was as comfortable as if she had been slid through silk.

Satisfaction suddenly came like a rising tide, but suddenly it fell like a low tide.

He wanted more than her "worries".

Rubbing his thumb gently on her chin, his voice was particularly low and beautiful, coaxing her: "What did you just say?" I didn't hear clearly...... Say it again, okay? ”

“……”

Xia Nianxi felt that this request was not difficult.

But she needed a little time to gather the next wave of courage and determination, as if the blood groove was empty after suddenly releasing a big move, she had to slow down.

Because now her heart is beating so violently that it was like someone had taken a Thor's hammer and smashed it on her eardrums, so that she could barely think, breathe, or continue to do anything......

She lowered her head, stared at her toes, and struggled to calm her heartbeat.

Stop talking.

Rong Xiu's fingertips fell into the air, his gaze moved down, and he saw her white shoulders that were almost exposed to the air, and he pulled the blanket on her behind him, "Okay, change your clothes and come out to eat again." ”

"Hmmm......"

....................

Xia Nianxi changed her clothes and came out of the cloakroom.

Breakfast has been served out and placed on the table.

This morning I ate bird's nest porridge with truffle white cake, she bit the spoon and ate it in small bites, and her ears were still red because of the words just now.

Rong Xiu sat opposite her, flipping through today's latest Financial Times in his hand, and said shallowly, "You eat more, you will be very tired today." ”

"......" Xia Nianxi looked at him with porridge in his mouth, and his bulging cheeks became even redder because of his words.

Dumbfounded, it looks like a little chipmunk lying on the grass.

Rong Xiu smiled at this look, "You want to be crooked, I mean, you have to go on a blind date on my behalf tonight, and write down the situation of the blind date in detail in the form given by grandpa." Don't forget, hard work. ”

“…… Oh. ”

Xia Nianxi swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and for some reason, this mouthful of porridge made her feel extra sweet.

The doorbell rang again, and Rong Xiu got up to open the door.

It was the people in the mall boutique yesterday, the store manager took the lead, holding more than a dozen shopping bags in his hands, and delivered all the things he bought yesterday.

Before putting it in the cloakroom, they also took out a very professional steam iron and helped Xia Nianxi straighten it one by one before hanging it up.

He also hung up all kinds of shoes and accessories in different categories.

Then he retreated silently.

During the whole process, except for the two words of hello and goodbye that the store manager said, no one else said a word, and no one looked at it.

Luxury is luxury, not only goods, but also services. Xia Nianxi bit the spoon and sighed again at the corruption of capitalism, then finished the last bite of porridge and stood up.

"Are you busy today?" She asked Rong Xiu in a low voice.

"It's fine."

Before he came back upstairs in the morning, he had already explained that Yi Cheng would not go to the company this morning.

"What about you...... Can you go to another place with me? ”

There are two things, with the experience of him accompanying him to Xia's house yesterday, Xia Nianxi spoke again today, and it seemed much smoother and calmer.

Rong Xiu put down the newspaper, "Where?" ”

"I'll go change my clothes first, you wait for me!"

Xia Nianxi didn't want to go alone, and was afraid that he wouldn't be available, so he simply decided to change his clothes first, so that he was embarrassed not to accompany him.

I don't know how this kind of careful thinking came about, but when it was formed, she had a feeling that she could be unbridled in front of him, which made Xia Nianxi feel wonderful, and even the sunlight outside the window was brighter.

With that, she hurried into the bedroom.

The ponytail makes a nice arc behind the back of the head.

Rong Xiu hooked his lips when he saw it.

Dot.

…………

Xia Nianxi finished washing at the speed of light, and then ran into the cloakroom and picked out a set of clothes.

DIOR's tweed dress skirt has a well-tucked waist, a water-rippled organza stacking on the neckline, long sleeves all the way to the wrist, and cufflinks have the same pattern as the neckline.

She chose it, not because of its style, but because it was black.

Paired with thick black stockings and black flat-heeled varina shoes, the black bow on the toe made her look down for a moment, remembering the pair that her mother bought for her at the end when she was a child......

Rong Xiu came in after reading the newspaper and found the little girl staring at her own shoes in a silent daze.

Looking at her black outfit again, he already roughly understood where she was going.

Reaching out and taking out a black shirt, black vest, black trousers, and a black cashmere and silk suit, and a black tie, he changed his clothes before calling her, "Xia Nianxi......

"Huh?" There was already a slight nasal tone in her voice.

As soon as she looked up, the little top hat with a little black gauze was buttoned off from the top of her head, Rong Xiu fixed the hat on her head, and helped her pin her hair behind her ears, "I'm afraid that you will get sand in your eyes for a while, so it's better to wear this first." ”

"Do you know where I'm going?"

"Well, let's go."

With me by your side, you don't have to be afraid of wherever you go.

Even if you want to cry, you can choose to hold back or be loud.

In front of me, you can do whatever you want.

…………

Western Suburbs Cemetery.

In the communal worship hall, candles dance in front of the glass of each small cell, illuminating frame by frame of black-and-white photographs.

Xia Nianxi used all his savings to buy a small grid on a large wall.

Rong Xiu quietly accompanied her throughout the whole process, watching her swipe the payment, and this time, he did not take the initiative to ask for it.

"On the west side, third row, third square."

The cemetery's attendants handed them the keys and left.

Xia Nianxi pinched the small key, held his grandfather's tablet solemnly and reverently walked over, gently placed it, rubbed his fingers on his grandfather's urn for a while, and then took it back, closed the glass window, and locked it.

There was a click, and her heart seemed to settle down.

After respectfully making three gestures to her grandfather's tablet, she slowly straightened up and said softly, "Grandpa, you can settle down here, no one will throw you into the courtyard again, and there will be no more rain on you...... You can see a lot of candlelight, lights, and you won't be alone anymore...... And I can come to see you often, and I don't have to look at other people's faces anymore......"

"I remember when I was a child, you always smiled at me, and as soon as you spread out your palm, there was an osmanthus cake for me inside, grandpa...... You also said that you don't like to see me cry...... I don't cry anymore......"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe her tears.

However, the more it was smeared.

"Every time I come to see you, I'm going to laugh hard......" she tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was worse than crying.

Rong Xiu stood behind her, looking at her shoulders and shrugging them, and hearing her make such an extremely stupid promise.

He knew that even if she came next time, next time, countless times, she would still cry, and she would not be able to laugh at her grandfather.

With a sigh in his heart, he looked up solemnly, looked at the tablet of the old man of the Xia family, and bent down silently, just like her, and made three gestures.

"Grandpa, I'm filming now, playing a role I liked very much before, when the movie comes out, I'll show you, and also, I'm ...... now" She tried to stand on tiptoe, reached out and touched the top of her head, and then pulled forward with her five fingers together, "It's really grown a lot taller......"

“……”

When the old man died, she was only nine years old.

Every year, Xia Nianxi has to talk for a long time, but in the past, she couldn't easily enter the Xia family ancestral hall, so she could only speak to the sky.

This year, it's different......

She has been talking about it all the time, from filming to her own life, and then to the two white plum trees that her grandfather liked most on the street of Xia's house......

It was said that it was close to dusk and the cemetery was closing, and he came out of it.

The two people walked side by side in the sun, and the metasequoia trees on both sides were straight and high, towering into the sky.

The shadows of the trees, the shadows of men, are stretched long.

Rong Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the hillside not far away.

There is also a small tombstone there, which was put up just a few months ago, and there are two places on the tombstone where names are inscribed, but not a word is engraved.

His eyes were so dark that he even stopped.

Xia Nianxi was a little puzzled, "What are you looking at?" ”

"It's nothing," Rong Xiu retracted his gaze and continued to look at the ground in front of him with a nonchalant expression.

Some things are in the past.

There are some regrets, let it pass, let him bear it alone, it's good.

"Oh......"

"You just said so much to grandpa, tell me about it too, tell me about those things when you were a child." Rong Xiu took her cold hand and walked forward with her in the light and shadow again.

Xia Nianxi didn't expect him to suddenly make this request, and was stunned for a while before he said slowly: "There's nothing to say, grandpa sympathizes with me, and because of the responsibility of the elders, he has always been very good to me, but he didn't stay with me for long and died." When I was in middle school, I met Meng Yao. She was my tablemate, but she only cared about sleeping and ignored me every day, until one day, she noticed that I had a lot of bruises on my body, and out of righteousness, she began to treat me slowly...... Then I finished middle school...... I didn't go to college, but I grew up slowly......"

Her life is really lackluster, and it can be summed up in a few sentences.

Rong Xiu lowered her head, and the sunset fell obliquely on that porcelain-white little face, illuminating everything she was thinking at the moment.

Growing up alone, I get very little affection.

And in the words she just had, there was sympathy, righteousness, and pity in other people's feelings for her, but there was no liking.

Perhaps, she doesn't know what "like" is.

I don't know, everything he gave her was "like".

The few complaints that were originally hidden in my heart were a little eager...... All these little gloom dissipated, leaving only the breeze and the moon, and a clear one.

Rong Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

At first it was just a gentle wrap, and then, little by little, his arms tightened and tightened, harder and harder, until at last, it seemed like he was going to press her between his ribs, and he was flesh and blood with her.

"It's okay......"

The two of them stood in the wind, and Rong Xiu said softly.

The voice seemed to sigh, and it seemed to make some kind of determination that was bigger and stronger than before—

It really doesn't matter.

In the future, it doesn't matter how stupid you are, no longer understand, no longer able to perceive my liking......

Because I've got a lifetime to let you know, to make you feel, that I'm here.

My heart is here......

Always, always, will be there.
