Wedding
Li Baibai looked up at him, and Luo Cheng turned against the light and stretched out his hand towards her.
As in the past, a dazzling young man with a lot of radiance.
Her grandfather's house in Los Angeles is not the luxury villa she imagined, a simple and simple old compound is a single-family building, and when you enter it, a towering ancient cypress comes into view.
The ancient cypress is about 30 meters high, and several people hug the thick trunk, and the rough skin on the trunk and the leafy canopy are enough to show the preciousness and longevity of this tree.
There was also a stone table carved with chess grids in the courtyard, and Luo Cheng pointed when he passed by, "When I was a child, my grandfather always asked me to accompany him to practice chess. ”
Li Baibai imagined that when he was a child in Los Angeles, he must have been a beautiful and cute child, who was picked up by his grandfather and slipped around this table to intimidate him to learn to play chess, and then looked reluctant with a stinky face.
Someone at the door had already seen them come in, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "The third brother is here with a beautiful sister!" ”
His voice was hoarse and quacked like a duck and ran towards the house.
Then Li Baibai heard a gentle middle-aged female voice gently scolding him: "Xue Xingxing! How many times have I told you, don't be surprised! Do you want to do it with this broken voice? ”
"This is my aunt's son, who just entered elementary school, and is very naughty, and it should be my aunt who scolds him." L.A. briefly began to introduce her.
"In vain?" Luocheng's aunt had already greeted her first, and Li Baibai only saw a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, dressed elegantly and generously, but it was quite a general's atmosphere.
It turns out that this peach blossom eye is really inherited from my mother's family.
Ancestral peach blossom eyes?
"Hello auntie." Li Baibai called people obediently.
Li Baibai glanced at Luo Cheng again, these peach blossom eyes really don't pick gender, and with his tough facial features, there is no sense of disobedience at all.
Most of the elders in Luocheng's mother's family are intellectuals, with a strong bookish atmosphere, all of them are gentle and elegant, and their eyes are full of love when they look at Li Baibai.
This also made Li Baibai's tension reduce a lot.
"Chengcheng, the third aunt and her husband are in the back garden, the corridor has been repainted in the past two days, I will take you there." The eldest brother in Los Angeles is a university professor, and Li Baibai can't help but be in awe when he hears the university professor.
She was in awe not because he was a university professor, but because of his still thick black hair.
"Thank you, big brother." Li Baibai still adheres to the truth that his mouth is sweet and flattering.
Big Brother Los Angeles took them to the back garden and left.
The garden is bustling with activity, and it can be seen that the flowers are carefully tended every day, and a woman in a cheongsam pushing a wheelchair is walking and stopping in the depths of the flower path.
Laughing and whispering, like a couple in love.
Los Angeles said, "Dad, Mom, I'm going home for nothing." ”
The woman turned around in surprise and slapped the wheelchair person on the shoulder hard, very happy: "Ming Xiao, look at the beautiful daughter-in-law brought back by my son!" ”
The person in the wheelchair was very helpless: "You turned the wheelchair for me......"
Guess think about it for so long, I didn't expect it to be such a character of L.A. mother.
Li Baibai smiled a little shyly, she didn't feel any more uneasy at all, she took Luo Cheng's hand and walked towards them step by step.
"Hello uncle and aunt."
People say that his son is like his mother, but Li Baibai feels that Luo Cheng's appearance is actually more like his father Luo Mingxiao, and his facial features are obviously harder, except that his eyes are like his mother.
Luo Mingxiao heard some outlines of the "Mist" case from Luo Cheng, and had great respect for the skinny little girl in front of him, and even thanked her very much, because of her persistence and dedication, their family's nightmare finally came to an end.
Luocheng's mother told Li Baibai a lot of interesting stories about Luocheng when she was a child, and also listened to Li Baibai tell some interesting stories about the cases she encountered.
smiled and felt very sorry for Li Baibai: "Baibai, you are a very good child, and you are a model for their juniors." If you can marry into our family, it is our family's high climbing, and it is also the honor and pride of our family. ”
Such a good mother, no wonder she can teach such an excellent Los Angeles.
After Luo Cheng chatted with Luo Mingxiao, he came over and asked his mother: "Where is my grandfather, I'll take her to see him." ”
"Your grandfather didn't know that you would come at noon today, and went to Director Shen's house next door early in the morning to find someone to play chess, just now I asked my eldest brother to call him back for dinner, the older you get, the more playful you become." L.A.'s mother shook her head and complained, not like she was talking about her father, but like she was talking about L.A. when she was a child.
When Luo Cheng took Li Baibai back to the living room, he asked her, "Are you still nervous?" ”
"I'm not nervous." Li Baibai quickly denied it and tried to save some face.
Los Angeles held her hand all the time, never letting go of it for a moment.
"Even if my family doesn't like you and is fierce to you, you don't have to be afraid." L.A. said idly: "With me here, you don't have to worry about anything." ”
Yes, with him, what else is she afraid of?
As soon as they arrived at the living room and sat down, an old man outside the door with a voice like a bell in high spirits strode in, followed by the eldest brother chasing: "Grandpa, you can slow down!" Ouch! ”
"Where's my granddaughter-in-law?"
Li Baibai hurriedly stood up: "Hello grandpa, I'm here, my name is Li Baibai." ”
In front of him stood an old man with crane hair and a childish face, his eyes were bright, and his posture was straight, and he couldn't tell that he was already in his prime.
The old man looked Li Baibai up and down with his hands behind his back, and his expression was slightly serious: "Come up with me." ”
Li Baibai nodded.
L.A. followed.
Grandpa glared at him: "Did I call you, what are you doing, I have something to say to you in vain, don't make a mess of you, I don't eat people." ”
Li Baibai smiled at him, saying that it didn't matter if he was alone.
After following her grandfather upstairs, the grandfather motioned for her to sit down.
"What is the major of Xiaobai University?"
"Grandpa, I studied detectives." She replied obediently and sat up straight.
"The little girl is amazing, your grandfather and I like you like this!" Grandpa laughed: "I'm a soldier, but the children are either studying or doing business, it's a pity!" ”
He patted Li Baibai on the shoulder: "The little girl has suffered a lot to learn this, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." A junior like her doesn't dare to cry out in front of this kind of national hero old-timer.
"Xiaobai, you are a good boy, and it is his blessing that Los Angeles can know you." Grandpa put down the teacup in his hand, a little mysterious: "You wait for grandpa." ”
Then Li Baibai saw his grandfather walking briskly to the study, and a sound of "ping pong" came, and he heard his grandfather's penetrating voice shouting: "Finch! Sparrows! Where did you leave me with that box? ”
The aunt hurriedly ran up: "What's the matter, Dad?" Oh, Dad, don't call me by my nickname if you're a junior. ”
"What's wrong with the nickname, I didn't take it yet! How nice it sounds! ”
It turns out that my aunt's nickname is Que'er, which doesn't match her calm and quiet appearance at all.
Li Baibai snickered.
"Isn't this here, your treasure box, why did you forget to put it yourself." The aunt nagged him a few words.
"Okay, okay, you go down quickly, I'm going to give my granddaughter-in-law a family heirloom."
"Okay, okay, you talk."
After saying that, he went downstairs with a smile.
"Come on, Xiaobai." Grandpa held the box and put it on the desk, and then opened it carefully: "This is left by your grandmother, she left early, and I will hand it over to you juniors." ”
Grandpa opened a piece of red cloth in the box, revealing several pieces of jade of different shapes.
She didn't understand this, and always felt that it was not good to receive such an expensive gift when they met for the first time.
Li Baibai: "...... Grandpa, this is too valuable......"
"It's not expensive, it's not valuable, the gadgets are not valuable, it's mainly passed down from your grandmother, it's important to pick a piece."
Li Baibai saw that he was so persistent, so he could only choose the smallest piece of black jade, about the size of a baby's fist.
Grandpa sighed twice, and Li Baibai didn't know what he meant.
Holding this piece of jade in one hand and holding my grandfather in the other, he went downstairs.
Los Angeles stood at the entrance of the stairs, apparently preparing to come up.
The aunt smiled: "Dad, if you don't let people go, I see that the city will rush up and rob people." ”
There was also a slender man sitting on the sofa, looking a few years older than Los Angeles.
He saw the piece of jade in Li Baibai's hand at a glance, and said "wow": "Grandpa, you are eccentric!" I've been asking you for this piece of superb ink jade for a long time, and you are reluctant to give it, and now you will give it to the third daughter-in-law, I am so sad......"
As soon as my grandfather saw him, he blew his beard and glared: "This is for your daughter-in-law!" If you bring me a serious girl back another day, I'll let you choose! People are not like you, this jade has a fate with her. ”
Li Baibai felt that this jade must be worth a lot of money, so he took Luo Cheng's hand and whispered: "It's better to return the jade to grandpa, isn't it expensive?" ”
"What the elders give, you have to take it. In vain, you really have a good eye. He grabbed her waist, "These pieces of jade handed down from my grandmother's family are ancient jade, and they are priceless in the market." ”
"The best ink jade you chose is even more precious." Luo Cheng looked at her eyes: "Grandpa is right, jade also picks the master, you choose it, it means that it is related to you." ”
Li Baibai was a little embarrassed, she could say that in fact, she didn't have a good eye, but she just took it because it was small and black and swarthy, and it shouldn't be worth much.
I didn't expect to take the most valuable one.
The man who just shouted that his grandfather was partial was the second brother of Los Angeles, who was doing investment business abroad, and he talked humorously, and he just said it casually, and in a blink of an eye, he chatted with Li Baibai again.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of millennium luck did the third child bump into to meet such a beautiful and excellent girl as you, are there any single girls around you who are similar to you, remember to introduce them to the second brother me, let me tell you......"
Luo Cheng sat between them and separated him from Li Baibai: "You talk a lot. ”
Second brother: "Third brother, how can you say that about your brother and me, your brother and I are sociable and popular." ”
He said to Li Baibai across Los Angeles: "Is the character of the third child always offending people? He has been like this since he was a child, he is very self-assertive, he is spoiled by his family, relying on his good looks, everyone is used to him, if he makes you angry, you can also take care of it, go home and tell your grandfather that Los Angeles is not afraid of anything, just afraid of grandfather's whip. ”
Li Baibai nodded with a very cooperative "uh-huh".
Two people who speak ill of each other eloquently, not caring at all that the person being spoken of ill of is sitting in the middle of them.
At first, Xiao Zhengtai, who was the first to probe his brain at the door, came out of the room with his homework book, and his aunt was about to talk about him, but he ran to Li Baibai very wittily: "I'll find this beautiful sister to help me talk about my homework!" ”
Auntie can't help it, just let him stop making trouble.
Li Baibai hugged Xiao Zhengtai with a smile and spoke to him: "Is your name Xue Xingxing?" The name is so cute. ”
His face suddenly turned a little red, and he said seriously: "Sister, you misunderstood, my name is Xue Ling, the fox next to the anti-dog, Xingxing is my nickname." ”
He thought for a while and said, "If you like it, you can call me Xingxing." ”
A hand next to him gently lifted him over, "Xue Xingxing, whose girlfriend are you flirting?" ”
"The third brother bullied me again." Xue Xingxing pursed his mouth and desperately launched the Star Eye at Li Baibai.
Luo Cheng rubbed his hair and kneaded his hair into a chicken nest: "You are the one who bullies." ”
Li Baibai hurriedly hugged Xue Xingxing over, she really couldn't stand such a cute and loving little Zhengtai being ravaged by her boyfriend like this.
Xue Xingxing hid in Li Baibai's arms, squeezed his eyebrows at Luocheng and made a grimace.
Los Angeles: "......"
After lunch, they left first, Li Baibai was in a good mood today, drank a few more glasses of Luocheng's mother's own fruit wine, and on the way back, the wind blew, the more dizzy he felt.
Li Baibai leaned on the car seat softly, closed his eyes, and kept talking: "Luocheng, your family is so good, I like them very much." ”
"If you like it, you often go over and play."
"Xue Xingxing is so cute, if it were my son, I would definitely kiss him in my arms every day."
Luo Cheng's heart moved, and after thinking about it, he said: "Xue Xingxing is a villain, don't be deceived by his cute appearance, in fact, he is the demon king of the world at home." ”
"I like the Demon King of the Mixed World too, I also like Little Lori, don't you have a little sister at home?"
"My grandfather doesn't have it here, my dad is an only son in the family, my grandparents died early, and there is no one in the family."
L.A. watched her talk more and more, and her face became redder and redder.
"How many drinks have you had?"
"Not much, maybe five, six, seven, nine, nine cups! I didn't dare to drink too much, I was afraid that I would drink too much. She also folded her hands and counted them.
"My mother's fruit wine is very strong." Los Angeles sighed and sped up a bit.
"No wonder...... I feel a little dizzy in my head. She muttered non-stop, and her face was red from drunkenness, which looked particularly cute.
Eventually, she fell asleep in the car.
Before she woke up when she got home, Los Angeles closed the car door and walked around to her, helped her unbuckle her seatbelt, and easily carried her out of the car.
She seemed to be sleeping very uncomfortably, moving around unsteadily, changing positions several times.
When he finally put her down, she woke up, her misty eyes open, confused, and the tails of her eyes were slightly red from the smell of wine, adding a hint of confusion.
"L.A., we're home?" As soon as she opened her mouth, a faint smell of fruit and the smell of wine lingered.
He didn't drink a drop of alcohol because he was going to drive today, but at this time he felt a little smoky.
Li Baibai in front of him had crimson cheeks because of drunkenness, and his touching face was more colorful.
He felt that he was actually not a person who was obsessed with beauty, but now because of Li Baibai, he felt more and more that he was always seduced by this face.
As long as it's her, it's not bad to be addicted.
He whispered to her, "yes, we're home." ”
There was a soft "click", and he neatly unfastened the belt and pulled it out.
The lights went out and the room was pitch black. On the bedside table, a lone leather strap hangs from the side, swinging gently.
