The next day, I went to the villa to see Qian Siming.

He is still the same, lying on the bed in a large shape, and the Tianying acupoint is still slightly raised, which is no different from before.

I haven't been able to track down the location of his soul for the past few days, and I haven't received any clues, so it seems that I can only continue to wait.

There was no sign of the formation being broken either, otherwise I would have received the news a long time ago.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was soon Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the morning, Xue Xiaxia suddenly called, saying that her father would come over the day after tomorrow and ask if I could come with her to pick him up.

I instantly bounced out of bed, "My father-in-law is coming over?" ”

Xue Xiaxia smiled embarrassedly, "Yes, he came by high-speed rail, the ticket has been bought, and it is estimated that he will arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you to pick up his old man when the time comes." I replied happily.

The day after tomorrow happens to be a young year, I have to hurry up to prepare in advance, to give him a good impression of the old man, I thought so, immediately got out of bed, got down, ready to wash up and go to the supermarket to buy things.

At the same time, I also secretly prayed that there would be any chaos elsewhere in the past two days, and it would be a pity to ruin Chinese New Year's Eve, after all, Xue Xiaxia's father came for the first time, and I had already missed the New Year's reunion before.

I told Zhao Heizi to let him work hard these days, help me take care of the hotel affairs, and pay more attention to the surrounding situation on Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter what, I have to have a good meal with Father Xue.

Zhao Heizi naturally readily agreed, and he also gave me a lot of advice, about what dishes to cook, what tea and wine to buy, etc., as if he had been to his father-in-law's house before, cough cough, of course, he had to have an old man first.

Time passed in my excitement and apprehension.

In the afternoon, Xue Xiaxia and I drove to the high-speed rail station to pick up Xue's father, and I was so excited that my brain was dizzy along the way, and I was a little slow to respond when Xue Xiaxia talked to me.

Xue Xiaxia laughed at me and said that her father was not a devil, just an ordinary parent, so I shouldn't be nervous.

I scratched the back of my head embarrassedly, I was never afraid of demons or anything, what I was afraid of was to leave a bad impression on my father-in-law, which made her cover her mouth and laugh.

At 3:18, we waited for Father Xue at the gate of the high-speed rail station.

He was different from what I imagined, wearing a sportswear, a thick down jacket and gold-rimmed glasses, tall and thin, like an old intellectual.

"Uncle...... Hello. I nervously reached out and he immediately took my hand.

"Hello Xiao Zhang, I'm Xue Weizhong."

I was a little surprised that the elder introduced himself directly to the junior, and this attitude was too approachable, and I immediately increased my intimacy with him, and the distance between us was also invisibly shortened.

Along the way, Father Xue talked and laughed with us, he was very talkative, and he spoke very down-to-earth, although his image was particularly intellectual, but he did not have the feeling of being upright when he spoke, he was indeed a good elder.

When we arrived at Xue Xiaxia's house, we rested for a while, Xue Xiaxia went into the kitchen to cook, and asked me to chat with Xue's father.

After more than ten minutes, I squeezed into the kitchen and hugged Xue Xiaxia, who was washing vegetables.

"Why aren't you chatting outside?" Xue Xiaxia asked with a shy smile.

I put my face against her back, "I'll let my uncle go to sleep and rest, he's quite tired from taking the high-speed train, I'll help you." ”

"No, I'll do it myself."

"How's that going to work, there are so many dishes today." I let go of her, put on my gloves and started washing the vegetables with her.

To be honest, I really can't sit down and chat with Father Xue alone, that kind of nervousness and "weakness" can't be eliminated at all, I'm afraid that if I say a wrong word, he will be beaten back to his original form by his old man, thinking that I am not good, and does not agree with his daughter to have a relationship with me.

Maybe, the prospective son-in-law will be so cowardly when he sees his father-in-law.

So I invited him to rest, and I fled back to the kitchen to cook with Xue Xiaxia to avoid embarrassment as much as possible.

At the beginning of the lanterns, we also sat down at the table, the table was full of delicious food made by Xue Xiaxia, she did change a lot for me, she used to only make very simple dishes.

We chatted and ate, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After a few glasses of wine, Father Xue's cheeks were slightly red, and he was a little hot, so he took off his coat and hung it on the chair.

I immediately stood up and walked over to pick up his coat, saying that it would crumple if I put it there, and that it would hang on the coat rack.

I turned around to hang up my clothes, and there was a knowing laugh from Father Xue behind me, "Xia Xia, Xiao Zhang is a good boy, you have to get along with him well, don't bully others." ”

When I heard this, I was moved in my heart, and thanked my father-in-law for speaking for me, haha, but Xue Xiaxia she would not bully me.

"Why, I'm not that bad."

"Haha, I'm kidding, you two naturally have to get along harmoniously and warmly."

I smiled and sat down, and when I raised my eyes, I was stunned.

Father Xue, who was opposite me, took off his eyes because of the heat, and the appearance of him not wearing eyes made me feel a sense of déjà vu.

Those eyes, the eyes, are so familiar, but this is the first time I've seen him, and I haven't seen his photos before, how can I feel like that?

"What's wrong?" Xue Xiaxia gently touched my elbow, and I woke up like a dream.

Father Xue on the other side was still smiling and looking at me, without any doubts.

I smiled awkwardly, "I accidentally bit my tongue just now, and I was about to open my mouth to talk to you, hey, this tooth is too careless, how can it hurt my tongue!" ”

I made a slightly painful look and rubbed my mouth.

"Does it matter?" Xue Xiaxia asked with concern, and Father Xue also looked at me worriedly.

I shook my head, "No, no, it was just a few seconds of pain just now, and it's much better now." ”

Xue Xiaxia stretched her brows at this time, "Okay, you be careful, there are so many dishes, you don't have to rush to eat, no one will rob you." ”

Father Xue smiled, "This is normal, when I was young, I once dreamed of eating roast duck, but I was so hungry that I bit my tongue and woke me up from the dream." ”

"Haha, when did Dad, why don't I know?" Xue Xiaxia asked with a smile.

The father and daughter were talking and laughing, but my heart was cold again.

Yes, I noticed today that when Father Xue speaks and says the word "了", he often tends to say the pronunciation of "liao", and the third tone of "understand".

It is true that a small number of people are accustomed to saying this, which is a small characteristic of everyone's speech, but I feel very strange, as if I have heard such a pronunciation habit somewhere before.

At this time, Xue Xiaxia's gaze swept towards me again, and I hurriedly put on a smiling face and joined their chat, I was afraid that she would see that I was thinking about something else.

We talked and laughed, and the atmosphere didn't change at all, but the feeling in my heart changed completely.

After eating, we went downstairs for a walk, and when we came back, it was already past ten o'clock, Xue's father was watching TV in the living room, and Xue Xiaxia and I were washing dishes in the kitchen.

While handing her the plate, I went around the topic and said a lot of things before I pretended to remember it and asked, "By the way, my uncle always says 'liao' when he speaks, this pronunciation habit is really interesting, and few people say that." ”

Xue Xiaxia smiled, "He's not used to pronouncing it like this, I guess he heard such a pronunciation habit by chance, and he can't change it if he imitates others." ”

I was so shocked that my hand slipped and almost dropped the plate, but fortunately Xue Xiaxia didn't notice my surprise.

"Uncle, this is ...... Learn from someone else? ”

Xue Xiaxia nodded, "My dad likes to listen to some interesting dialects, and then follow them, for a while he went on a business trip to other places, and when he came back, he always took out the local dialect and said, which made me and my mother laugh, and my mother laughed at him for parroting." ”

"Ah, that's right, haha, uncle is so funny." I laughed, and the fog in my heart deepened.

I asked Xue Xiaxia again when he started saying the word "has", Xue Xiaxia recalled, saying that it seemed that he only said this a few months ago, and when they talked on the phone, Xue's father always said this, and at first he amused Xue Xiaxia, and she also thought this pronunciation habit was very funny, but gradually got used to it.

A few months ago......

Late at night, I lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, and my eyes were as dark as my misty inner world at the moment.

Familiar and strange gaze, special pronunciation habits, these mysteries happened to Father Xue, could it be that he has something to do with a certain organization?

No, he's just an ordinary parent, I can't be so sensitive, sensitive, and everything to contact the demon organization.

I think about a lot of people, and I haven't been able to get the number right, who is that kind of gaze similar to whom, and there is a special pronunciation.

The first thing I thought of and denied was Ma Yuan and Qian Siming, their gaze was too different, and these two did not have such pronunciation habits at all.

In addition, he doesn't pronounce "liao" like this for every word "lao", so I have to recall the pronunciation habits of everyone I have communicated with, which will be very difficult, like looking for a seashell from the sea.

I don't want to complicate things that would otherwise be simple, he is just my father-in-law, the father of the woman I love the most.

Sleepless nights.

I woke up early in the morning and didn't sleep for a few hours, but I just didn't feel sleepy.

I sat on the couch and thought for a long time, should I ......

"Why are you already up in bed?" Xue Xiaxia suddenly sat down next to me, and I hurriedly turned sideways and hugged her.

"You don't have any sound, you want to scare me?" I asked with a smile and pressed her forehead against my cheek, the scent of her body penetrated into my nostrils, and the warmth spread throughout my body, and I felt much more comfortable.

"I don't have a sound, my slippers make a loud noise, it's you yourself thinking about the problem and ignoring my existence, what are you thinking?" Xue Xiaxia looked up at me.
