Chapter 52: Li Shi
As soon as Father Li arrived at the restaurant, he saw Li Yun sitting opposite Mother Li, and continued to walk forward after a moment.
"Why is Ah Yun here today" Father Li walked to the seat next to Mother Li and sat down before slowly asking.
"Ah Yun and Xiao Xiao are here to celebrate New Year's Day with our family," Li Xinran, who was standing behind Li's father, reminded in his father's ear in a whisper.
"Xiaoxiao, is it Ah Yun's sister?" Father Li smiled and looked at Li Xiaoxiao across the table with round eyes and a dull expression.
"Ahh Li Xiaoxiao heard someone call her, and she came back to her senses. As soon as he raised his eyes, he looked into Father Li's loving eyes. Li Xiaoxiao was stunned. I couldn't speak for a long time.
"Well, Uncle Li, this is my sister, Li Xiaoxiao," Li Yun introduced Li's father lightly.
"Well, it's very cute, and it looks like Ah Yun," Father Li smiled.
"Hmm," Li Yun turned his head to look at Li Xiaoxiao, who was silent with his head down, and responded lightly.
"Dad" Li Xinran, who was behind Li's father, saw that his father had been chatting with Ah Yun, thinking that he had forgotten what he said to persuade his mother, so he couldn't help but anxiously reach out and tug the corner of his clothes and shouted softly.
Father Li glanced back at her when he heard the sound, and his eyes signaled that she was relieved. Later, he looked up at Li Yun opposite, and saw that Li Yun had no intention of speaking, so he turned his head and said to his wife beside him, "Listen to Xinran......"
"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun lightly called Li Xiaoxiao beside him.
Li Yun didn't care about what the family of three opposite said at all, and now she only had Li Xiaoxiao beside her who was silent with her head hanging all the time.
"......" Li Xiaoxiao hung her head and did not speak.
"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun reached out and grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's twisted fingers, frowning slightly, and her tone couldn't help but become heavier.
The hand was held, and Li Xiaoxiao had to look up at Li Yun.
"Sister......" Li Xiaoxiao's voice trembled and called her.
"Xiaoxiao......" Li Yun looked at the stunned Li Xiaoxiao with distressed eyes, and suddenly raised his hand to cover her eyes.
She admitted that she was scared, she was afraid to see the panic in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes now, and she was afraid to see the emptiness in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes. She was afraid that Li Xiaoxiao would come into contact with the darkness. She didn't want Li Xiaoxiao to wander in the endless darkness.
"Xiaoxiao, you still have a sister," Li Yun said in a trembling voice.
"Sister, I just seemed to have seen my father," Li Xiaoxiao said slowly.
"I know"
"I miss them a little"
"I know"
“……”
"Xiaoxiao, your parents are gone, you still have a sister, you still have a sister," Li Yun repeated this sentence softly.
“…… Hmm" Li Xiaoxiao was silent for a while before responding lightly.
Hearing Li Xiaoxiao's answer, Li Yun slowly put down the hand that covered Li Xiaoxiao's eyes.
As soon as Li Yun's hand was put down, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes unconsciously went to Father Li's side.
Li Yun sighed slightly in his heart, and then followed Li Xiaoxiao's line of sight to look at Father Li.
The family of three on the opposite side didn't know who said what, the whole family laughed, and even Mother Li, who had been calm just now, showed a bright smile.
Li Yun's gaze fell on Li Xinran.
Li Yun was actually very jealous of Li Xinran. Just because Li Xinran has parents who love her very much, and she herself ...... No.
Li Yun's gaze turned to Father Li, who was next to Li Xinran with a happy smile on his face. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and hid the unspeakable emotions in the depths of his eyes.
In fact, Li Yun was willing to help Li's father back then. In addition to seeing that he has ambitions and can't show his pity, there is one most important reason. That is, the father of the Li family, Li Yang, is five or six points similar to the previous heir of the Li family, Li Yanchuan......
Over there, Father Li noticed that Li Xiaoxiao's gaze turned back and smiled kindly at her.
Li Xiaoxiao is another one.
In the end, Li's father coaxed Li's mother. Their family of three, plus the Li Yun sisters, finished the dinner carefully prepared by Li's mother for the Li sisters in such a "happy and harmonious".
After dinner, Mother Li and Li Xinran went to clean up the table, and Li Yun naturally went to help. In the end, only Li Xiaoxiao and Li's father were left staring dryly on the sofa.
"You ......"
"Uncle ......"
After a moment of silence, the two spoke together.
"You say it first," Father Li smiled kindly.
"Hmm......" Father Li smiled like this, which made Li Xiaoxiao feel at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, just be at your own home," Father Li said, and raised his hand to rub Li Xiaoxiao's hairy head, in order to comfort the "cramped and restless" Li Xiaoxiao.
In fact, it is not unreasonable for Ah Ran to want a sister.
Father Li said in his heart.
It is amazing that under the comfort of Father Li's warm palm, Li Xiaoxiao's nervousness about facing Father Li disappeared.
I saw Li Xiaoxiao raise her head and look at Father Li with her big watery eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Uncle, you are very similar to my father", both in behavior and appearance, they are unusually similar.
Father Li was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Yes?"
"Mmmmmm
"Hahaha" Father Li laughed twice when he heard this, and then stroked Li Xiaoxiao's head with his big palm, and joked with a smile, "Then I'll be your father in the future, okay?"
When Li Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately looked at him with bright eyes, and said excitedly, "Really?"
Father Li looked at Li Xiaoxiao and was suddenly stunned. He was originally just saying a joke, but now that he saw Li Xiaoxiao's eyes shining because of his joke, he didn't know whether to say "yes" or "yes" for a while.
"Dad, why don't you want to find me a sister after I don't have a little while," Li said happily. After trotting to Li's father's side, he hugged his arm and coquettishly.
As soon as Li Xinran stepped out of the kitchen door, she heard Li's father's unashamed words, and when she saw her father who didn't speak after Li Xiaoxiao asked back, she knew it was time for her to make a move.
"Isn't it because I want a sister?" Father Li pinched Li Xinran's nose dotingly and said with a smile.
Li's father was first stunned by Li Xinran's sudden jealousy and coquettishness, but after a while, he figured out that his daughter was solving the siege for herself, so he skipped Li Xiaoxiao's question.
After all, the Li family is everyone, and it's okay to joke about things like this kind of misconception of parents. It's really certain, but it's never possible. Even verbal consent is not enough.
"I don't" Li Xinran hugged Li's father's arm and even played a little temper, pouting and said, "I figured it out, I don't want my sister anymore, I don't want anyone to compete for my favor"
"You, how old are you and you are still so childish," Father Li said with a smile.
"I will always be a child in front of you and my mother," Li smiled happily.
"Haha," Father Li also smiled.
Li Xiaoxiao, who was next to her, looked at the harmonious father and daughter, and the light in her eyes dimmed in an instant.
"But I still like a cute sister like Xiaoxiao, but ......," Li Xinran said suddenly.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at her, and the light in her eyes was not dim.
"But Xiaoxiao can only be my sister, not my father's daughter" Li Xinran looked at Li Xiaoxiao with a smile and said, "Is it okay, Xiaoxiao, be my sister"
"Mmmmmmmmmm
is Sister Ran's sister, isn't that Uncle Li's daughter!
Li Xiaoxiao said in her heart.
Li Xinran looked at the light that lit up again in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes and smiled with relief.
At this moment, Li Yun walked out of the kitchen.
I saw that she walked straight in front of Li Xinran, looked at Li Xinran with lowered eyes, raised her lips silently, and said two words - thank you.
Everything that had just happened, she had heard at the kitchen door.
She knew Father Li's dilemma.
So she was very grateful to Li Xinran for untying Li Xiaoxiao's knot.
Lee smiled happily in response.
"Xiaoxiao" Li Yun naturally walked to Li Xiaoxiao's side and sat down.
"Huh?" Li Xiaoxiao looked back at her.
The corners of his mouth are smiling, and his eyes are full of stars.
This is my Xiaoxiao!
Li Yun said in his heart.
"It's okay," Li Yun smiled lightly and raised his hand to stroke Li Xiaoxiao's head.
"Oh, by the way, sister, I'll tell you......" Li Xiaoxiao chattered about becoming Li Xinran's sister, and Li Yun also doted on her eyes, and listened quietly with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Mother Li, who had just washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, saw Li Yun's smile on the corner of her mouth as soon as she went out.
After a sign, he trotted in disbelief and sat down beside the Li family's father and daughter.
"Ah Yun, this is, laughing" Mother Li pointed to Li Yun in disbelief and said to the Li family's father and daughter.
"Hmm......" Father Li also saw Li Yunxiao for the first time, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
A family of three, except for Li Xinran, who is not used to seeing him, the other two looked at Li Yun with a shocked expression.
Li Xinran faintly glanced back at his parents who were sitting left and right, and said disgustedly, "I haven't seen the world"
"Huh?"
"What do you say"
Her casual remarks attracted the attention of her parents.
was paid attention to by the second parent, Li Xinran not only did not panic, but also said calmly, "I said, it's not the first time that Ah Yun has laughed like this, as long as there is Xiaoxiao in Ah Yun when we are in school, we will laugh"
"You mean that as long as you are in front of Xiaoxiao, Ah Yun will laugh," Li Mu asked in disbelief.
"Well, since the day Xiaoxiao came back, I haven't seen Ah Yun not smile that day" Li Xinran's sworn tone completely dispelled the last trace of disbelief in the hearts of the Li family's parents.
The two parents of the Li family looked at each other happily across the middle Li Xinran, and they both saw a sentence in each other's eyes.
Ah Yun's heart, which had been closed and frozen for three years, finally opened.
Just when both of them were happy and emotional, Li Xinran suddenly opened his mouth to destroy such a happy and excited atmosphere.
"By the way, Dad, why did you come back so late today, don't you usually go home early at half past five" Li Xinran stared at Father Li with a puzzled look and asked.
In an instant, the eyes of the other four people in the room fell on Father Li.
"Yang, is there something wrong with the company?" asked Mother Li with a worried face.
I saw that Father Li crossed over and took Li's mother's hand happily, and patted her hand comfortingly to signal that it was okay.
Li Xinran looked at the hands clasped in front of him and rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then his short body drilled out of the gap under his hands. And then in a disgusted face did it in the single sofa.
Really, dog food can be sprinkled everywhere.
Li Xinran complained in his heart.
After Li Xinran left, Li's mother naturally sat down next to Li's father.
"The reason why I came back late today is because I went to a temporary dinner when I got off work," Father Li said slowly.
"Dinner, what kind of dinner do you have to ask your chairman to go in person," Li Xinran said angrily.
Mother Li glared at her when she heard this. Because he had seen Li's mother angry just now, Li Xinran didn't dare to talk nonsense after being glared at by Li's mother at this moment.
"Well, it's just like Ah Ran said. I didn't have a trip to attend this dinner.
I only suddenly changed my route after hearing the name of the person who came from the other party," Father Li said.
Li Yun frowned lightly when he heard this, and asked, "Reroute?" Who is the other party? ”
Father Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Li Yun, and then said in a heavy tone, "Li Shi"
As soon as this name came out, the entire living room immediately fell silent, and even Li Xinran, who was not in a good mood, couldn't help but hold his breath after hearing this name.
Li Xiaoxiao looked shocked, and suddenly turned her head to look at Li Yun.
And Li Yun also had a serious and cold face after hearing this name.
Lai Shi ......
Is it finally back?
