The two returned to the living room and saw Gu Tingting sitting on the sofa, and Xu Ziqian sitting next to her, talking.

Seeing Gu Shaoze come in, they stopped talking, Gu Tingting raised her head and shouted: "Uncle!" ”

For Ji Xincheng, Gu Tingting naturally looked like she hadn't seen it.

Gu Shaoze couldn't help frowning, "Shouldn't you be at school today?" What are you doing here? ”

"I have something to come to Sister Xu!"

"What can't you say on the phone?"

From An Zimo's house to Gu Tingting's new school, it is a two-hour drive without traffic jams.

"It's a very important matter, it's not clear on the phone, uncle, you don't care!"

Gu Tingting got up to eat the pastries on the coffee table, Xu Ziqian poured her a cup of hot tea, between them, there was no need to say anything, it could be seen that they were very close and trusted each other.

"Aze, don't worry, I'm asking her."

Gu Shaoze glanced at Xu Ziqian, who was speaking, didn't say anything, led Ji Xincheng to continue to walk to the second floor, and said to Ji Xincheng:

"Say hello to the old lady and we'll go back."

When he got upstairs, An's father called Gu Shaoze to the study, and An's mother left Ji Xincheng to listen to music and talk on the small terrace.

The two of them came up to say goodbye to the second elder, chatting and chatting for more than an hour.

In this hour, Ji Xincheng deeply experienced An's mother's unusual enthusiasm and kindness in treating people, which once made her want to just talk like this, but she didn't want to leave so much. She couldn't help but envy An Zimo, who had such an interesting and loving mother, but when she thought of An Zimo's strong father and the family that made him unbearable, she felt conflicted for him.

When Gu Shaoze and Ji Xincheng went downstairs, they saw Gu Tingting playing mobile games in the sofa at a glance.

Gu Shaoze immediately let go of Ji Xincheng's hand, walked in front of his niece, and said with an unkind face:

"Gu Tingting, why haven't you left yet?"

"I'll stay here at night and sleep with Sister Xu."

Gu Tingting replied without raising her head.

Ji Xincheng was curious, listening to Gu Tingting's meaning, Xu Ziqian lived in Anjia?

"Why?"

"There's no why! I just want Sister Xu, can't I come and sleep with her for one night? ”

"Is the school going back tomorrow?"

"Go! Isn't it just late! I'll just ask the teacher for leave! ”

Her careless attitude successfully angered the man in front of her, and as soon as Gu Shaoze stretched out her long arm, she took the mobile phone in her hand away and threw it on the coffee table with a "pop" sound, but it did not affect the fierce fight on the screen at all.

"Uncle! What are you doing? ”

Gu Tingting jumped up and wanted to retrieve her phone, but Gu Shaoze blocked it sideways.

"There is a problem with the new school, you can come to me! If it weren't for the school's problem, if you still skipped class for three days, Gu Tingting, you would immediately pack up my things and go out of the country, don't want to stay in Dragon City anymore! ”

"Why are you so fierce? I didn't say I wouldn't go! ”

Gu Tingting rolled her eyes and took the phone back from behind Gu Shaoze as soon as she took advantage of a loophole, but Gu Shaoze also moved quickly, and in the next second, she grabbed Gu Tingting's wrist and let her advance and retreat.

"Ahh It hurts——! ”

When Gu Tingting's shout sounded, Ji Xincheng saw that there seemed to be a scar on her elbow, and was about to step forward, Xu Ziqian, who came from the direction of the kitchen, had already taken the lead in persuading:

"Aze, let go, she has a wound on her hand!"

When Gu Shaoze heard this, he hurriedly let go of Gu Tingting.

I saw that Gu Tingting's right wrist was crying out for pain There were red marks with different shades of blood on the wrist one after another, and if I looked closely, there were also marks on her other hand, as if someone had tied her hands behind her with something and left traces due to struggle.

"What's going on?"

Gu Shaoze asked calmly.

Gu Tingting turned off her phone in disappointment, twisted her head to the side, and was reluctant to speak.

"Don't say yes?"

"Tingting, you must tell us how this injury came about, otherwise we will find a school tomorrow, a girl makes herself like this in school, how can people rest assured?"

Xu Ziqian took the tray with a few bottles of medicinal oil and some gauze on it, and at this time she had already sat down next to Gu Tingting and helped Gu Shaoze ask her the reason.

Gu Shaoze seemed to remember after Xu Ziqian's reminder, and said while holding his mobile phone:

"I'll call your headmaster right now."

Sure enough, Gu Tingting gritted her teeth, but still shouted:

"Don't fight! It's my own reason, I'll do it first! ”

"Fighting with classmates?"

Gu Shaoze stared at his niece in disbelief.

"I didn't really fight, it was just ...... I pushed my classmates into the pool, and they tied me up, which was just to scare me...... It's all right! Uncle, don't be so fussy! ”

The man accused of 'making a fuss' was about to have a seizure, but he was interrupted by the figure of An's mother walking down at the top of the stairs.

"Is it our Tingting? When did you come back and did you eat? ”

When Gu Tingting saw An's mother, she hurriedly pushed away Xu Ziqian's hand that was helping her wipe the medicine, put down her sleeves, tidied herself up, and then stepped forward to greet her:

"Grandma An, it's me!"

"What does it smell like? Are you hurt? ”

"Nope! It's just athletic, a little too much......"

Ji Xincheng was a little surprised to see Gu Tingting like this, she obviously didn't want An's mother to worry about her, it turned out that this child didn't look so unreasonable to everyone.

"Aze, don't worry, let her stay here tonight, tomorrow I will send her to school to ask for clarification, if there is something I will call you then."

For Xu Ziqian's thoughtfulness, Gu Shaoze is certainly grateful.

I saw him nod, looked at Xu Ziqian's eyes, and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”

"Don't bother, you guys drive slower on the way back!"

After seeing Gu Shaoze go to tell Gu Tingting, Xu Ziqian's gaze turned and fell on Ji Xincheng, who had never spoken.

"Goodbye, Miss Ji, welcome to come here next time!"

She was like a hostess.

Ji Xincheng reminded himself not to be too rude, and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Miss Xu, goodbye!"

Gu Shaoze walked back to Ji Xincheng's side, and naturally went to hold his hand, but she avoided it quietly.

The man raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Xincheng, then reached out to support her waist and led her out of the An family.

On the way home, Ji Xincheng was very quiet, with no expression on his face, Gu Shaoze took the initiative to speak after looking at her several times:

Xu Ziqian's mother threw her at the door of Xu's house when she was a baby, and to this day, the Xu family doesn't know who Xu Ziqian's biological mother is.

In the Xu family, only Xu Ziqian's grandfather recognized this granddaughter, but when Xu Ziqian was six years old, Grandpa Xu was seriously ill, and he knew that he would die soon, so he entrusted Xu Ziqian to Uncle An, a comrade-in-arms who had a deep friendship with him, and temporarily fostered Xu Ziqian in Anjia.

"Grandpa Xu once made a will, so that Xu Ziqian's father would take his daughter home after she was eighteen years old, and only then could he get Grandpa Xu's inheritance. But soon after Grandpa Xu's death, Xu Ziqian's stepmother didn't know what to do, destroyed the will, took all the property of the Xu family, and privately moved Xu Ziqian's household registration to the welfare home.

Uncle An knew that the Xu family would no longer care about this daughter, so he asked Aunt An to officially adopt Xu Ziqian in the An family and grow up with An Zimo. Aunt An has not been in good health in recent years, and Xu Ziqian has gradually done more things for her, so you see that Xu Ziqian is sometimes more like the hostess of the house, which is how she came. ”

Ji Xincheng listened to him finish this long paragraph, and then he glanced sideways at the man who was focused on driving, he spoke slowly, about Xu Ziqian's past, he counted it so ordinarily.

That's because it's too familiar to feel ordinary.

Ji Xincheng retracted his gaze, looked ahead, and said after a while:

"I didn't say anything, what miserable are you in a hurry to sell her!"

Her voice was a little small, Gu Shaoze didn't hear it clearly, and asked her, "What did you say?" ”

Ji Xincheng didn't look at him either, raised his head and said:

"Nothing! I mean, Uncle Ann is so nice! I took you in and I took her in, so did the three of you stay together every day when you were young? ”

There was a smile in the corner of Gu Shaoze's eyes, and he seemed to be in a happy mood with Ji Xincheng's undisguised displeasure.

"I didn't get together every day, I don't remember much when I was young, but when I was a little older, my studies were very heavy, although Uncle Ann was strong, he was in charge of studying."

“……”

Ji Xincheng thought about something and didn't answer immediately.

The car stopped at the intersection of the red light, and Gu Shaoze saw that she didn't speak for a long time, so he turned sideways and asked softly:

"You're not happy?"

Ji Xincheng looked at Gu Shaoze in silence, and said for a while:

"Less self-inflicted!"

Then the green light turned on, the man moved his gaze forward, and Ji Xincheng didn't look away and ignored him.

After a long time, the car stopped at a place where he could park on the side of the road, and Ji Xincheng saw that he was unfamiliar and obviously hadn't arrived home yet, so he couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?" ”

The man parked the car, leaned forward, and kissed Ji Xincheng on the lips facing him.

Ji Xincheng didn't have time to react by surprise, he had already poked the tip of his tongue in.

Ji Xincheng wanted to push him away, but he didn't have enough strength, so Gu Shaoze held the back of his head and kissed him in the passenger seat for a long time......

"Gu Shaoze, you will come to this set!"

After it was over, Ji Xincheng screamed like this, angrily, because he could involuntarily treat him anytime and anywhere.

"I wonder if I'm making a fuss."

He looked at her with deep eyes, his breath was still a little unsteady, and his hand was still on the back of her neck, warm and powerful.

"Do you know now?"

"I know, Mrs. Gu still minds, because I sympathize with my ex-girlfriend."

The true thoughts in his heart were taken out by him and said, Ji Xincheng was a little embarrassed, but compared to his inability to control himself in front of Gu Shaoze, this seemed to be nothing, so he said stiffly:

"Yes, I just don't like you to know her so well, I'm your wife, I have the right to be unhappy!"

The man chuckled, he had never seen Ji Xincheng like this, which made him a little dazed for a while, and he wanted to kiss him again on the side of his face.

How could Ji Xincheng be willing, pushed him away and turned around and got out of the car.

Gu Shaoze then got out of the car and went to hold Ji Xincheng's hand, Ji Xincheng didn't let him, the two had an awkward quarrel under the dim street lamp, and suddenly a motorcycle quickly passed by Ji Xincheng's side, Gu Shaoze was quick and took the person into his arms.

The motorcycle flew away in the dust, and Gu Shaoze slammed his back into a tree because he retreated too fast.

only heard him snort, which made Ji Xincheng, who was tightly hugged by him in his arms, feel pain when he heard it.

When he came back to his senses, Ji Xincheng was the first to touch his back.

"Where did it hit?"

The man slowed down, frowned and shouted in pain, but Ji Xincheng didn't find the location he described after touching for a long time, and he realized that he was playing with him again!

A palm slapped the man's shoulder very hard, but it hurt his hand.

Ji Xincheng suddenly turned red.

Gu Shaoze realized that the joke was a bit too much, so he lowered his head again and hurriedly made amends, "It really hurt just now, but Mrs. Gu's hand doesn't hurt when she touches it, I didn't lie to you!" ”

Ji Xincheng glared at Gu Shaoze, who was so disregardful of his face, and reprimanded:

"What the hell is this! What are you parking? ”

Gu Shaoze looked at his angry wife with some amusement, and whenever she was out of proportion, she would find a reason to vent.

picked up the previous words again and said seriously:

"I told you about Xu Ziqian's past, I want to tell you that Tingting may be very close to Ziqian because the two have some similar experiences, but she doesn't just want her to be an aunt. So, you, a serious aunt, can you look at her uncle and my face in the future and not worry about her? ”

Ji Xincheng's heart moved, it turned out that he didn't just want to make himself feel pitiful for Xu Ziqian......

After thinking about it, it didn't seem right, "I didn't bother with Gu Tingting!" ”

She didn't say a word tonight in front of his niece.

"Well, tonight you are scheming with yourself, making yourself unhappy."

Ji Xincheng was stunned, today's Gu Shaoze always made her feel unreal, since when did she start some emotions that she herself was not even aware of, but they were clearly seen by him in his eyes.

Looking at the man in front of her who was looking at her affectionately, Ji Xincheng was speechless for a long time.
