The matter between Jin Meilou and the Red Mansion was satisfactorily resolved, and the stone in Lu Caiqing's heart was finally put down.

Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu studied some details of the decoration with Wang Lin in the Four Seas Restaurant, and the New Year is about to begin, and it is not easy to rush the opening.

Lu Caiqing and Lin Huaijin discussed and unanimously decided that the opening of the restaurant would be set for the next year.

Lu Caiqing entrusted the recruitment to Bai Xiaoran, she and Song Ziyu had been out for several days, and they were worried about Aunt Xia and Brother Li, so they decided to go back to the village to have a look.

When Xia Yunge heard this, he was a little scared, with Sister Caiqing and his eldest brother here, he seemed to have a sense of security in his heart, and when he heard that they were leaving, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Lu Caiqing saw the helplessness in his eyes, and when there was no one, he hid in the room with Yun Ge and enlightened him: "Yun Ge! Sister Cai Qing is leaving, you have to be good by yourself, if the eldest brother treats you badly, you can hire a car to go home by yourself, and know the way home! ”

Xia Yunge looked at Lu Caiqing with blank eyes and nodded, Lu Caiqing looked at such Yun Ge, and felt a feeling of not being able to give up, and said, "Yun Ge!" Sister Cai Qing saw you like this, she had a feeling of unease, if others bullied you, you would go to Brother Bai, if he was not there, you would look for Brother Lin, this restaurant is full of people, people from all religions and nine streams come and go frequently, there are always a few unruly villains, who love to cause trouble, you have to learn to protect yourself, do you know? ”

Xia Yunge listened, grabbed Lu Caiqing's hand and said, "Sister Caiqing! I'm afraid! ”

"Don't be afraid! Is there Big Brother Bai? You can study with peace of mind, remember that whatever you do is for yourself, and when you are strong, you will understand? ”

Xia Yunge nodded at first, then shook his head again, looking ignorant.

Lu Caiqing explained: "Don't retreat in the face of difficulties, dare to overcome difficulties, meet challenges, you face them bravely, difficulties are not difficulties, if you are afraid of difficulties and retreat, difficulties are more difficult than you think, if someone bullies you, he is stronger than you are, then you will not be afraid, understand?" ”

Yun Ge listened, nodded, Lu Caiqing took his hand happily and said: "Life is to rely on you to go, no one can accompany you for a lifetime, so Yun Ge, after my eldest brother and I left, we must learn to be independent, and let us rest assured!" ”

"Hmmm! I know! Sister Caiqing, when will you come again? ”

Before they left, he anxiously asked them when they would come next time, Lu Caiqing didn't know if it was appropriate to leave him here alone.

She suddenly had a feeling of being a mother, and now she realized that when she was in college, her mother was reluctant to give up on her advice and when she left, and now she has a feeling of reluctance to Yunge, but she never lets go, the child is always the flower of the greenhouse, and he should learn to let go, so that he can feel the outside world by himself.

"Eh! I've been gone for a while, why are you holding hands? Younger sister! He's your sister-in-law? Bai Xiaoran came in and saw the two holding hands, looking reluctant, a little sour in his heart, it must be his sister leaving, Yun Ge was a little reluctant, his performance made him feel a little ashamed.

It's not good to say that he tricked him to his side, and now he doesn't have enough security for himself, so he stays by his side, should he go back to his mother in the younger grade, no, then he doesn't have to endure the pain of lovesickness.

stepped forward and pulled away the hands of the two, grabbed Yun Ge's hand in his hand and said, "Ge'er! You can rest assured! After my sister is gone, you will treat me as your dependence, I will not let you be alone and afraid, you believe me! ”

"Alright, alright! It's really numb! Is my sister still there? That's right, big brother! A word to you when I leave! Lu Caiqing said on a whim.

"What do you say?" Bai Xiaoran replied seriously, thinking that his sister was going to hand over Yun Ge to himself before leaving, so he replied without even turning his mind.

"Yun Ge is only ten years old! It's the time to grow your body, you can't take advantage of our absence, turn into a wolf at night, hurt Yun Ge, and it's not good for your future life as a couple. Brother Song is still waiting for me, I'll go first. After saying that, he ran away like a smoke.

Bai Xiaoran was still listening carefully, he didn't expect his sister to tell him this before leaving, how could he hurt him? He also knows that he is a normal man, and sometimes he always thinks about it, but now that he is turned into a wolf, he really can't bear to do it, so he can only wait slowly, who told him to choose and choose, and choose a man who is so much younger than himself.

Xia Yunge listened, and immediately withdrew his hand, although he was not very old, but he didn't understand anything about the days of wandering with his mother, and when he heard Lu Caiqing's reminder when he was leaving, he suddenly blushed to the root of his ears.

Bai Xiaoran hurriedly explained, for fear of scaring this timid person: "Don't listen to his nonsense, Ge'er!" I won't touch you. ”

Xia Yunge took a few steps back and asked weakly, "Big Brother Bai!" You really won't ......? ”

"Nope! This dead girl, when she is coming, she will give me a problem! Songs! I promise you, I won't think anything wrong of you, no, I won't go to the trouble of bringing you to me if I don't think about you. ”

"Look at it! You just said that you won't touch me, you are contradicting yourself now, I am going to find Sister Caiqing! Yun Ge didn't know what to do, he just wanted to learn his skills when he came out, but he really didn't expect how to get along when there were only two people left.

Bai Xiaoran closed the door, pulled Yun Ge in the hurry, and said, "Don't go!" It's so easy for me to convince everyone that I can take good care of you, but now what if you're gone, leaving me alone? Things don't go back to square one. Songs! You believe me! I admit that I have intentions for you, that's because I love you, if I don't love you, then I don't feel anything for you, you believe me, I will treat you well, and wait for you to grow up. ”

Xia Yunge listened to his affectionate confession, stopped struggling, and obediently leaned on his arms, Bai Xiaoran relieved his heart a little, and cursed his own scourge spirit in his heart to cause himself this trouble.

Suddenly, Xia Yunge pushed him away and said, "Sister Cai Qing is right, I want to be self-reliant and self-reliant!" I can't rely on others, so I'll be strong and don't want Big Brother Bai to worry about me. ”

Bai Xiaoran hated this, whether she was her sister or not, how could she talk nonsense to this child.

So he had a plan, so he smiled and said to Yun Ge: "Yes! What you Sister Caiqing said is so right, then you first have to learn to live by yourself, these days Yu is with you, you won't be afraid, from today onwards, you will start to learn to be independent by yourself, okay? ”

Xia Yunge listened, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded confidently and said, "Okay!" ”

Bai Xiaoran nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now I won't suspect that Big Brother Bai has any intentions!" ”

Yun Ge listened, nodded awkwardly, after dinner, the two returned to their respective rooms, Xia Yunge finished washing, and lay on the bed looking at the curtain thinking about his thoughts.

Sister Cai Qing and the eldest brother are gone, and they will be left alone in the future, the third brother is also going to study, and he is also a person, he is the same age as him, he can be so sure, he is not afraid of Yunge! Comfort yourself in your heart, isn't it just sleeping alone? He extinguished the candle flame and quickly climbed into the bed, covered the quilt to reveal his eyes, and looked at the blackness of his eyes, but still got into the bed.

He constantly comforted himself in his heart, didn't he just close his eyes and sleep? Didn't you be alone at home before? As soon as he woke up until dawn, he generously showed his head and pretended not to care, but a voice in his heart told him again, Yun Ge! You used to sleep at home until dawn, and that's because you have your mother in the outhouse.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep thinking about it, and on a winter night, the wind whistled and the windows rustled.

Yun Ge was awakened by a strange movement, he grabbed the quilt with his hands, opened his eyes and looked at the window, there was no movement, there was no moonlight outside, it was dark in front of him, he plucked his ears and listened, there was no movement, and then he was relieved.

Then he let his guard down, and the voice came again, a "squeak" sound, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the sound from far and near, as if he was about to approach his bed, and a voice came from his head: "There are rats in the house!" ”

Although he is timid, he is still not afraid of ordinary insects and snakes, but he is afraid of this gray-haired mouse.

He was so frightened that he hid at the foot of the bed with the quilt, still trembling and moving his feet, hoping that the thing would slip away when he heard the sound.

"Big Brother White...... Big Brother White! He was so frightened that he cried out again and again.

The workers in the restaurant, who lived on the first floor, heard the shouting, ran up the stairs to the third floor, and asked, "Yunge! What's going on, is there a thief? ”

Bai Xiaoran also followed after hearing this, and said seriously: "Light the lamp!" Look at what's going on in Yunge's room? ”

The young man hurriedly lit the candle in the house, saw clearly that there were plates of pastries on the ground and fell to the ground, so they put down the broom one after another, and said with a long sigh: "Boss! It's time to get rid of rats in our building, it must have been done by rats, which scared Yunge. ”

Bai Xiaoran listened, nodded, and said, "Okay!" A false alarm! It's okay, let's go back to sleep! ”

The guys yawned one by one and left the room and went downstairs, Xia Yunge looked at the plate on the ground tremblingly, and he was woken up, probably because of the sound of the plate falling on the ground.

looked at the ground, there was no trace of the mouse, and then his feet were sore and his buttocks collapsed on the bed.

Bai Xiaoran saw it and comforted: "It's all Big Brother Bai's bad!" Sleep with confidence! Tomorrow I will have someone to exterminate the rats! But that thing is also a thief, when it is extinguished, it will run away, when there is no movement, it will swagger to the room to wander, nothing is such a toss, I don't know where it went, you can sleep at ease! ”

After speaking, he asked Yun Ge to lie down, tucked the corners of the quilt tightly, and turned around to put out the lights, at this moment, Xia Yunge got up and shouted: "Big Brother Bai! I'm afraid! ”

The corners of Bai Xiaoran's mouth rose slightly when he heard this, and when he turned around, he said with a serious face: "Don't be afraid!" There I am! You sleep! ”

"Big Brother Bai! Don't you go, I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, what will happen if it runs out again, I ...... I miss you...... Do I sleep well in my room? Yun Ge asked with a pleading look in his eyes.
