Ke Yuhan didn't go home, walked out of the school gate to the public phone booth across the road, felt in his pocket and counted the money for the car, and then called Guo Rutong and said that he would go back later.

"What's wrong, Xiaoyu, is there something wrong?" On the other end of the phone, there was a mother's concern.

"It's okay, I'...... The class's blackboard newspaper is going to come out again, and I'll stay in school for two hours and go back. ”

It's like running from the east of the city to the west of the city, Ke Yuhan transferred three buses, and every time he saw the name of the road, he had to take out Xu Xuanyue's note to him, and read the address accordingly, and only after making sure that he was not going the wrong way, did he take the next bus. In this case, the smartphone is extremely important, but Ke Yuhan thinks that he doesn't need to take it to school, so he puts it at home.

But even if he was so cautious, Ke Yuhan eventually got lost.

He didn't expect that Zhou Junlan's home was in the suburbs, with paths extending in all directions running through the faint street lamps, surrounded by villa-like manor houses, some even equipped with private swimming pools, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, accompanied by quiet neighborhoods, with only a few occasional birdsongs.

Among the old people running and exercising in the block, Ke Yuhan bowed and stopped a relatively elderly man, she seemed to be frightened by this formal interception, and quickly took off her headphones to respond to Ke Yuhan. Ke Yuhan took out the address and asked, and the old man patiently explained the way to him.

Along the gradually widening path, accompanied by the shade of the trees illuminated by the street lamp, he was about to come to an end, and Ke Yuhan could be regarded as finding Zhou Junlan's residence.

It is hidden behind a bamboo forest.

The gate of the black manor was as majestic and solemn as a guarding giant, isolating him from the door, looking at the avenue behind the door, stretching out to the palace-like houses in the manor, Ke Yuhan felt that this was not even a field that he could set foot in. It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of him, which made him afraid that he would not fit in with the world inside the wall.

With a desire to explore the truth, Ke Yuhan still retreated a little......

"Miss?" The maid knocked softly on the door again, she had just come an hour ago, and the crying inside made her heart break, she went downstairs and made Zhou Junlan's favorite borscht, and when she returned upstairs with the soup bowl again, she made up her mind that if she heard the cry of the young lady again, she would definitely be so distressed that she couldn't help herself, and squatted at the door and cried.

To her, Miss Zhou is as adorable as a rabbit doll hanging at the door.

"I—I'm fine." There was an intermittent choking sound from inside, which may have calmed down the mood or be tired of crying.

"Miss, do you want to come out for soup? I made your favorite borscht. ”

There was a sobbing inside, and his tone became calmer: "Dad, what about Dad?" The voice was very close, presumably Zhou Junlan leaned behind the door.

The maid felt a pain in her heart, but when the young lady needed comfort the most, the old man went out and had something to do, and he would not come back on Sunday.

She didn't know how to answer her, so she knelt at the door.

"Sister-in-law Li!" The door was opened, and the butler, dressed in a crisp suit, walked in and said upstairs, "There is a guest, it is a young lady's classmate, and I want to see her." ”

"Miss." Sister-in-law Li said to Zhou Junlan behind the door: "There are guests, they are your classmates." ”

"Oh? Who, who? ”

Sister-in-law Li turned her head downstairs, and the housekeeper continued: "It's a boy, he said his surname is Ke." ”

"It's Mr. Ke, miss."

There was a sudden knock on the door behind the door, like something heavy knocking on the door, and then there was the sound of Zhou Junlan inhaling from between her teeth.

"Ouch, miss, what's wrong?" The servant asked with concern.

"It's okay, I, I'll go down later." The sound of answering from behind the door made Sister-in-law Li very happy, and she continued to retreat, walked to the staircase and turned back, and put the soup bowl back.

Ke Yuhan, who walked into the room, was surprised by the gorgeous decoration of the interior.

There was a bright light that came into view at first, and suddenly came in from the dim outside, causing some stinging in his eyes, it was the dazzling light of the chandelier on the roof, and the marble floor was polished, and as soon as he entered the door, the servant came over and handed the slippers, which seemed to have just been opened.

On the back wall of the living room is a Western-style red fireplace, and there is no fire inside.

The general color palette of the room is red and beige, such as the cushions of the mahogany benches, the pillows of the sofa and the curtains of the three windows, all with yellow tassels hanging from the corners.

Ke Yuhan was invited by the housekeeper to sit on the sofa and wait, the moment he sat down, Ke Yuhan seemed to be stuck in the cushion of the sofa, and although the soft feeling was comfortable, he was not used to it.

A servant went upstairs and entered a room with rabbit dolls hanging on it.

Another servant then served black tea, Ke Yuhan was not used to drinking tea, and he often made a cup of coffee in the evening when he was sleepy from studying, but it was obvious that it was a bit impolite to ask for this here.

This palatial house, and everything around it, is like a unique shackle, which forcibly puts on Ke Yuhan a high-sounding elegance.

Ke Yuhan didn't know what to do before Zhou Junlan came down, he looked around, picked up the black tea and put it down, sitting upright and uncomfortable, feeling that moving would attract unnecessary attention.

It wasn't until Ke Yuhan took a sip of black tea helplessly that the upstairs door was opened, and to Ke Yuhan's surprise, Zhou Junlan had makeup painted on her face.

Dressed in loose white trousers and a black sweatshirt, her hair was loose, she slowly descended the stairs with her head bowed, followed by the maid, her steps graceful and light.

Zhou Junlan walked down the last step of the stairs, brushed her hand over the jade statue on the corner of the escalator, and smiled and signaled to Ke Yuhan, even if she was wearing unusual makeup, Ke Yuhan could still see her puffy red eyes.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Junlan approached and deliberately sat on the sofa farthest away from Ke Yuhan.

Ke Yuhan always felt that he should learn from Xu Xuanyue's greetings, but because he wasted too much time, he looked at the inky black sky outside the window, thinking that he could save and go straight to the point.

"I want to ...... Let's see if you're okay, and I just want to ask why you're trying to make amends for me. ”

Ke Yuhan focused on the second half of the sentence.

Zhou Junlan focused on the first half of the sentence.

"I'm fine...... the corners of Zhou Junlan's mouth inadvertently showed happiness, and Sister-in-law Li and the housekeeper who caught a glimpse of this detail on the side were equally happy.

"How do you know where my house is?" Zhou Junlan said. "I don't think I told you."

Ke Yuhan took out a note: "Xu Xuanyue gave it to me." He really wanted to complain about the long distance, if it was Xu Xuanyue on the other side, then he might blurt it out.

"Oh......" Zhou Junlan heard this, lowered her head, and whispered: "Yueyue, she ......"

"Ma'am!" The door was opened again, and the housekeeper hurriedly greeted her, taking Aunt Zhao's coat and bag, her face flushed, she should have just come back from drinking, although it was not as good as the color of the lipstick on her mouth, but it still stood out.

She nodded to the housekeeper, changed into slippers, and then saw Ke Yuhan sitting on the sofa.

"Elder Liu." Aunt Zhao asked the housekeeper, "Are there guests?" "She has a moderate voice, which can be heard by the whole living room without being noisy or harsh, and the fly in the ointment is that it has a slight smell of wine, mixed with the smell of perfume on her body, which is a little pungent.

"Aunt Zhao." Zhou Junlan stood up, Ke Yuhan was also unconsciously driven, stood up, he didn't know where to put his hand for a while, so he put it in his pocket.

"You're back?" Zhou Junlan said.

"Well, I met an old classmate today, I'm happy, and I have a few drinks."

"Oh, this is my classmate." Zhou Junlan said, Ke Yuhan also smiled cooperatively, and then retracted, he really didn't know what to call the lady in front of him, her face was young like a little girl in her early twenties, calling her aunt too old-fashioned, calling her sister too frivolous.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ke Yuhan only said: "Hello." ”

Aunt Zhao stepped closer: "Oh, why stand up." She raised her hand and patted Ke Yuhan on the shoulder, she was only a little shorter than Ke Yuhan, and she looked like she was 1.7 meters tall.

"Sit." Aunt Zhao said. "Don't be too inhibited." After she finished speaking, she sat next to Zhou Junlan, then lowered her head and sniffed gently, sat away from Zhou Junlan, sat on her legs, leaned on the sofa, and her black S socks were shining in the light.

"It's a coincidence, we're going to eat right away, so you can try it too." Aunt Zhao smiled and untied her head rope, shook her head slightly and threw off her black and bright hair, showing her charm in every move.
