Nan Nan's enthusiastic explanation immediately amused the people at the table to turn upside down, and I, the damn one, was already on the verge of collapse.

Stinky girl, it's clear that I owe her a debt in my last life, and I've come to seek revenge with me in this life.

However, after Nannan's explanation, Lin Xuan finally figured out what was going on, and then looked at me with complicated eyes and full of sympathy, presumably she remembered the sad years when I was in B University and Situ Yunzhe forced me to lose weight.

After eating, Lin Xuan and I went for a walk by the river in front of the village, while Nan Nan continued to have fun with Chen's father.

Chen Chen's current home is not the home where we grew up, but when I was born that year, the two elders moved from the countryside to the suburbs of Zhanyang City in order to take care of me conveniently.

Although the house is a bit old-fashioned, the air is very fresh, the village is picturesque in all four seasons, and there is a small river in front of the village, and the surface of the river is clear as a mirror all year round. Although the two elders moved into the city from the countryside, they chose to live in the suburbs, and they still did not want to squeeze into the most prosperous center of the city, and would rather drive more than half an hour to commute to work every day.

In fact, this is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.

"Lin Xuan, are you still used to eating the dishes cooked by Mother Chen?" Lin Xuan and I walked intimately by the small river hand in arm, basking in the last afterglow of the sunset.

"Of course I'm used to it, especially my aunt is very enthusiastic, Shen'er, you said that my 'ugly daughter-in-law meets her in-laws', did you pass the pass safely?" Lin Xuan grabbed my hand nervously and asked uneasily.

"Of course you passed, didn't you see how much Mother Chen likes you?" I explained to Lin Xuan, "Her daughter-in-law who has been looking forward to it for many years finally came to the door, do you think she can not be enthusiastic?" As for Daddy Chen, he has been in the mall for a long time, so he will be a little more serious! But he's always been like this, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, you don't have to care. ”

"Of course I can understand, my parents are so serious on weekdays, in fact, as long as my uncle and aunt don't object to me and Chen Chen being together."

"You can put a hundred and twenty hearts, maybe your marriage will be put on the agenda soon." Speaking of marriage, I suddenly remembered that I met Yuan Yaocheng and Bai Hui in the hospital today, so I shared it with Lin Xuan, and at the end I didn't forget to cheer Lin Xuan up, "Lin Xuan, you see, even Yuan Yaocheng and Bai Hui are going to get married, so you and Chen Chen have to work hard." ”

"Hmmm! I'll do my best. Lin Xuan nodded, and asked me worriedly, "Shen'er, do you think I'm a little late?" ”。

"Fool, although it's a little late, it's not too late, you didn't want to come to Chen Chen's house before, and it's a little regrettable to think about it, but then you went abroad for more than three years, Chen Chen has never had a girlfriend promiscuously, and it is impossible to bring a girl to the house, so this position is destined to be yours, although it is three years late, but it is only three years late, because your future is still very long!"

"You're right, I will definitely cherish it, and I will never be petty anymore." Lin Xuan first comforted himself, and then pouted to express his dissatisfaction with me, "But I really envy you and Nannan, who get along so closely with their family." Lin Xuan's awkward expression and sour tone suddenly made me cry and laugh.

"No wonder you have always misunderstood me and Chen Chen, so I will tell you in detail about the relationship between our two families!" I sorted out my thoughts a little, and said to Lin Xuan concisely and comprehensively, "Chen Chen's hometown and my family have lived next to each other since childhood, Chen's father was a jeweler, and he was worth a lot of money in that era, and my parents both worked in a state-owned enterprise, although both of them received a meager salary, but the family lived happily.

Later, when my parents' unit was in a recession, my parents were both laid off and at home, and in order to take care of my family, Chen's father specially arranged for my father and mother to help him take care of his jewelry store. Originally, all this was still beautiful, but after two years, my father suddenly fell ill, and in less than a month, he left me and my mother to die, my mother because of excessive grief, the body fell seriously ill, and when I did not graduate from junior high school, she also left me. ”

"Shen'er, you are such a distressing child." Lin Xuan turned to face me and straightened out my messy hair due to the evening breeze, "I didn't dare to ask too much about your parents before, and Chen Chen refused to tell me more, I only knew that you didn't have parents, I didn't expect your fate to be so bumpy, as for what happened later, I roughly guessed a few points." ”

"Yes, as you can imagine, Chen Chen is more than half a year older than me, back then, although the family background of our two families is very different, but they are very harmonious on weekdays, Chen's mother is optimistic and open-minded by nature, my mother is naturally kind, they are even close to sisters, so for more than 20 years, I call Chen Chen's parents are called Dad, Auntie.

Before my mother died, she sold the old house and handed over the money from the sale to my parents and aunts, and after my mother left, my father and aunt took care of all my living and study expenses, which is why Chen Chen and I are so close, because he and I have long been a family. ”

"So that's the case, but when I quarreled with Chen Chen for you before, why did he never solve it?" Lin Xuan sighed.

"Maybe men are animals who don't like to explain! Or maybe he thinks that all our experiences, explanations are superfluous, and one day, you will understand. In fact, there will be many wonderful emotions in the world that you can't explain, for example, Chen Chen and I are two families that have nothing to do with each other, he is just the brother next door who is not related to me, but because of the initial adjacency, and then developed into close relatives, they cannot be separated in each other's lives. ”

"Shen'er, I finally understand why Chen Chen always protects you so much, you are right, it is because he has a constant family relationship with you, so he can't allow anyone to bully you, even me."

"No, he protects me because it has become a habit, and because he pities me for the difficulty of carrying the girl alone, he will turn habits and pity into action, but he needs your understanding more, he can only protect me for a while, but he has to accompany you through a long life, so your understanding and understanding are very important to him."

"I understand!" Lin Xuan nodded, grabbed my hands tightly, and said a little anxiously: "Shen'er, from now on, the person Chen Chen wants to protect is the person that I, Lin Xuan, want to protect." ”
