Qiao Nian's reaction was obviously a little unexpected.

Li Yao took a sip of porridge before asking, "What do you want?" ”

Qiao Nian shook his head with a stupid smile, and said after a while: "Why did I say that it was you who was powerful at that time, not the identity of the heir of the Li Group, but yourself?" ”

Li Yao looked at her with a smile: "How can you listen to the meaning of your words, if it wasn't me, you wouldn't have looked for me in the first place?" ”

Qiao Nian just smiled, didn't answer, and lowered his head to eat to hide his embarrassment.

Obviously, Li Yao didn't intend to just let it go: "Say it quickly." ”

Qiao Nian couldn't escape, so he had to answer truthfully: "Be reasonable, one is the one who really has the final say, and the other is a marionette who looks up to people's snorts, if it were you, which one do you think would be more suitable to be a backer?" ”

"Shouldn't it be who is more suitable to be a husband?" Li Yao said while eating.

Qiao Nian glanced at him: "The person you want me to talk about is also you, and you are the one who makes gags, can't you be serious?" ”

"How else am I going to be serious?" Li Yao has been serious since he was a child, and he doesn't want to be a child seriously, that is, he will be more relaxed in front of Qiao Nian, and he will always be said to be improper, does he have to be tense all day long?

At least in front of Qiao Nian, he didn't want to do this.

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his mouth, with a slight compromise in his tone: "If you want to be serious, you can't be serious, it's up to you." ”

Scooping a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, Qiao Nian looked up at him, a little hesitant, but finally said truthfully: "But I just wanted to find a backer at that time." After she finished speaking, she immediately added: "You don't like to hear this now, but it's true, even if it's ......."

Qiao Nian said, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Even what?

In fact, she wasn't sure what she and Li Yao were now.

The two of them were silent in unison, as if neither of them knew what to do.

Qiao Nian said that Li Yao is a person who is not good at expressing herself, and so is she.

Two clumsy people together, silence is the best solution.

Qiao Nian lowered his head and ate the porridge in the bowl, and soon bottomed out, and there was still a lot left of Li Yao's share.

"Do you want more?"

"Huh?"

Qiao Nian responded consciously: "Didn't you say that you were going out to eat in a while?" ”

"Okay."

Not an affirmative answer, but an obedient promise.

After Li Yao finished speaking, he got up and put away the two of them's dishes and chopsticks, the leftovers were poured into the kitchen waste trash can, the dishes and chopsticks were put in the dishwasher, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, took his coat and went out with Qiao Nian.

I went to the restaurant that Qiao Nian frequented.

Li Yao found the innermost room, and the dishes she ordered were all what she liked.

The waiter told the kitchen to prepare, and the two of them were left in the room.

Qiao Nian pondered for a moment before asking, "Is the old man angry?" ”

"Yes, I'm angry."

The expression on Qiao Nian's face froze.

Li Yao chuckled and continued: "The old man is most proud of his eyes in his life, he has never made any mistakes in seeing people, you are the first person to let him go, can you not be angry?" ”

Qiao Nian stared at Li Yao's eyes, and then asked with a smile: "Did the old man say anything?" ”

Li Yao's eyes drooped slightly, and he said after a while: "What if you say it, what if you don't say it." ”

Qiao Nian still looked at Li Yao.

In fact, Li Yao didn't know, Qiao Nian knew what it was like when he wanted to hide it.

It's like now.

Don't look at her, the attitude is extremely tough.

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled: "After all, I deceived the old man, so naturally whatever he says is what he says......"

"This time he said it doesn't count."

Before Qiao Nian finished speaking, Li Yao interrupted directly.

"Yes...... But I ......."

Li Yao looked at her, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Qiao Nian, I am the one who has been deceived by you the most, if just because you make him think that you are who you are, you will obediently do what he says, then what about me?" ”

Qiao Nian looked at him, a little overwhelmed, she just looked at Li Yao with a smile, and she didn't even know what to say.

"Stop laughing, it's ugly." Li Yao is rarely so direct.

Qiao Nian tugged at the corners of his mouth and stopped: "Okay, I won't ask." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the waiter came in and served the dishes that the two had just ordered.

The old man must have made a request that Li Yao didn't want to accept.

He didn't want to accept it......

Qiao Nian's eyes drooped slightly, and he had an answer in his heart, but now he didn't want to touch it.

When I first came out, I drank a bowl of porridge, and I barely padded my stomach, so that I wouldn't be too hungry, and I also avoided overeating too much at one time and eating too much was not good for my stomach, plus the dishes I ordered were relatively light, and Qiao Nian had nothing to worry about.

Although the topic just ended a little unpleasantly, Li Yao still served her vegetables from time to time.

Probably because the silent atmosphere was uncomfortable, Li Yao spoke first: "How are you cooking?" ”

"Me?" Qiao Nian pondered carefully and replied truthfully: "If it is the standard of being able to eat, then I should be able to." ”

"Don't you want to cook?"

"No, really." Not really.

Li Yao took a sip of the tea at hand, looked at her with a smile and said, "I think you did a good job." ”

"What do you think?" Qiao Nian's face was full of disbelief: "I've never cooked for you, where do you come from to judge?" ”

Li Yao: "When I woke up this morning, I had that bowl of noodles in the refrigerator, don't tell it wasn't you, I don't remember I made it." ”

"Oh, that's it." Qiao Nian's eyes drooped slightly, and he asked casually, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious."

"Poof!" Qiao Nian couldn't help but laugh first: "Because I will only do that, like you said, if you do more, it will be delicious." ”

Li Yao: "......"

Qiao Nian looked at his speechless expression, and laughed for a while before saying, "No one taught me, so I still learned from others." ”

"Who did you learn from?" Li Yao asked one more question.

The smile on Qiao Nian's face froze, and he said after a while: "I said it, don't be angry." ”

"Well, you say, I'll try not to get angry." Li Yao's tone was quite calm.

Qiao Nian glanced at him, cleared his throat and said: "When I was very young, I once went back to the old house with my uncle to worship my ancestors, and I went to visit my grandmother's sisters when she was young, and I ...... with me" Ji Bei The words came to his lips.

looked at Li Yao, swallowed it raw, and immediately changed his words: "My uncle and I have been busy all day and haven't eaten much and are very hungry, so grandma made two bowls of noodles for us to eat." ”

said, paused, laughed at himself and continued: "Probably hungry, I think it's delicious, and I'm standing by watching her do it, after my uncle died, I left the Ji family and no one cared about it, I just started working as a graphic model, I don't have much fame and remuneration, I don't have much money after paying rent, water and electricity, and it's not cost-effective to eat outside, so I ...... Try to make something to eat yourself. ”

Li Yao listened quietly all the time.

Qiao Nian never told him about her past.

The sentence just now that was about to be said and immediately changed to cover it up, Li Yao also understood.

It was Ji Bei who ate the bowl of noodles with her that day, not her uncle.

But what could he do?

Ji Jun's first wife died of dystocia, one corpse and two lives, and later Ji Jun remarried, and the second wife was Ji Bei's mother Hu Hui, Ji Bei was not Ji Jun's biological son, but the son of Hu Hui and her ex-husband, and later followed Ji Jun's surname.

If Li Yao remembers correctly, Ji Bei was only eight years old when he followed his mother to Ji's house, and at that time, Qiao Nian was only five years old.

Ji Jun will worship his ancestors in the old mansion, Qiao Nian has gone, how could Ji Bei not go.

Ji Bei said that he and Qiao Nian have been together for ten years.

Actually, more than ten years.

Li Yao didn't speak, Qiao Nian probably wanted to talk about the past today, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Actually, I don't remember what the grandmother put in at that time, I put what I put in it." ”

"It's okay, I have time another day, I can accompany you to see her, if you really want to eat the bowl back then, just ask her." Li Yao said casually.

The smile on Qiao Nian's face froze, and his eyes drooped slightly: "There is no chance, the old lady died five years ago." ”

Li Yao was silent, obviously, it was he who lost his words.

But the next moment, Qiao Nian smiled: "It's nothing, the old lady is dying, and she went very peacefully, just ......" said, still a little sad: "The old lady was too lonely when she left, no children, no relatives, and even ...... There is no husband. ”

When she said this, she kept looking at the teacup she was playing with, and her tone was sad but not sad.

After a while, he chuckled and continued: "I heard from my uncle that the old lady has been waiting for someone all her life, but unfortunately, that person has never appeared. ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Li Yao, her eyes as calm as water.

She laughed, as if joking: "Didn't you say you want to thank people who can't be trusted when they tell men?" That's what the grandmother said. ”

Li Yao stared at her for a long time before smiling: "But she believed it, and, I'm sure, she didn't tell you those words." ”

"She didn't say that." Qiao Nian held the teacup and drank tea, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and he smiled very sweetly.

Li Yao's eyebrows narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Later." ”

Qiao Nian frowned: "What later?" ”

Li Yao: "Does that person know that the old lady has died?" ”

Qiao Nian's eyes flashed, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, but said vaguely: "I probably know." ”

Li Yao handed her a bowl of soup, then filled another bowl for himself, and asked idly, "Do you think that person will go to worship her?" ”

Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and smiled: "Everyone is dead, what can it mean to go to worship?" It's just to add to the sadness, it's better not to go. ”

"Also, you've always been clean."

Qiao Nian glanced at him: "Why did it happen to me again?" ”

"Aren't you?"

Qiao Nian took a sip of the soup, glanced at the night scene outside, and said with a sneer: "It's better not to go, don't you feel selfish when you die?" If you want people to be in the ground, you will never see each other from the beginning of life and death, and you want to seek peace of mind by yourself...... That's right, I didn't say it. ”

Li Yao knew that Qiao Nian had always been resolute, but she didn't see each other in life and death, and when she said it from her mouth, she felt frightened no matter how she heard it.
