Cheng Rao drank a bowl of porridge, ate two steamed buns, plus a boiled egg, and then was full.

Her appetite is actually quite good, and she eats more than most girls.

The nanny aunt next to her stopped eating so much, and couldn't help but say more: "Is this full, let's eat the remaining two buns!" You're too skinny! ”

Cheng Rao shook her head, "No need, I'm full." ”

In fact, she has always been quite perfunctory when it comes to eating.

She doesn't have much pursuit of food, and now she doesn't eat meat, basically every day she just eats enough.

She herself knew that she was shriveled and not good-looking.

But it can't be helped, there are some things she really doesn't like to eat.

The nanny aunt watched Cheng Rao grow up, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and she unconsciously wanted to say a few more words.

Aunt Nanny: "You're too thin, so your immunity is easy to decline, you still have to eat a little bit of meat, and it's not good for your body if you don't eat it at all-"

"Auntie, don't say it." Listening to such chatter, Cheng Rao was inevitably a little impatient.

But she's not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do.

She knew that Aunt Nanny said this for her own good.

However, the matter of being vegetarian is a decision she has already made, and it will not be changed in a short time.

The nanny aunt also heard Cheng Rao's impatience, she sighed helplessly, knowing that Cheng Rao didn't like to listen, so she simply didn't say anything.

………

After breakfast, Cheng Rao went back to the upstairs room.

There wasn't much to do today, and she was going to stay in bed for the day.

Cheng Rao hasn't had such a leisurely day for a long time.

After returning to the room, Cheng Rao opened her laptop and found a folder inside.

The folders are basically full of photos.

There are two subfolders in one general folder.

In one folder is a photo of her and Xiao Ye, and in the other folder is a family photo taken when she was a child.

Cheng Rao moved the mouse to the second folder and clicked on it.

When they took the first family photo, she was just over a year old.

So Cheng Rao actually has no memory of this photo, and when she looked at this photo, her attention was more focused on the young Cheng Xun.

When Cheng Rao was a child, she often showed off to others that she had a handsome father.

Cheng Xun is really handsome and heroic.

He and Huang Ping should also be a talented and beautiful match.

In fact, Huang Ping is also beautiful.

Even now, when she is nearly fifty years old, she still has charm.

Cheng Rao looked at the family photos one by one, and the tip of her nose was a little sour.

From the age of one, they take a family portrait every year, for a total of sixteen.

And then...... When Cheng Rao was sixteen years old, Cheng Xun died in a car accident.

They take family photos every year, which is Cheng Xun's proposal.

Later, after Cheng Xun died, this habit was not continued.

Mainly because after Cheng Xun's death, the relationship between her and Huang Ping also fell into a complete impasse.

Every communication is-for-tat, how can it be possible to put down each other's shelves and take family photos?

Moreover, in Cheng Rao's opinion, only three people take family photos, if it is her and Huang Ping, it is better not to take them.

Cheng Rao looked at the photos one by one, some photos were not very good because they were scanned by a scanner, and they definitely couldn't be compared with the current digital photos anyway.

Cheng Rao looked at the photos for a while, thinking about the interaction with Cheng Xun when she was a child, and her nose became more and more sour.

In fact, she rarely cries, as others say, most of the time she is very indifferent.

Even when Xiao Ye died, she did not cry hysterically, but calmly confirmed the identity of the body with the forensic doctor.

Whether in front of or behind people, she doesn't like to expose her emotions.

But when I think of my father, I always get very emotional. I guess that's the power of family affection.

Cheng Rao looked at the photo, and a tear fell on the back of her hand.

She pulled out a tissue, wiped her eyes, and returned to normal.

**

Yu Chi got up at six o'clock in the morning to run, and after running, he received a reply from Xia You.

After setting the time, Yu Chi prepared to send a ring to Xia You.

Xia You originally said that she was going to ask him to get it, but Wei Chi thought about it and forgot it, it was not convenient for her to run around with the child alone.

So, Yu Chi personally sent Xia You over.

Xia You said that she was at home, so Wei Chi didn't go out of his way to make an appointment with her again, and drove out after taking a shower and changing clothes.

It was ten o'clock in the morning when Yu Chi arrived at Xia You's side.

He parked the car at the door of the duplex and walked up to ring the doorbell.

Xia You didn't expect Yu Chi to come over so soon.

She thought he would at least make an appointment with her before he came.

After hearing the doorbell ringing, Xia You's heart was flustered.

She put away the men's slippers at the door and put them back in the shoe closet, then checked them around the living room.

After confirming that no trace would be seen, he opened the door to Wei Chi.

Xia You packed up her things and delayed a lot of time, and after opening the door, she immediately apologized to Wei Chi: "Qiqi just got up, sorry, the door opened late." ”

Wei Chi glanced sideways at Qiqi, who was lying on the sofa in the living room drinking milk, and shook his head: "It's okay." ”

"Big brother, come in and sit down." Xia You took the initiative to send an invitation to Yu Chi.

Wei Chi nodded and walked in.

After entering the living room, Yu Chi took out the ring from his pocket and handed it to Xia You.

"That's it, right?"

After seeing the ring on Yu Chi's hand, Xia You's eyes lit up: "That's right, this is it." ”

"Well, you take it."

It was useless for him to keep this ring, and it was a memory between her and Wei Zhi, so it was better to give it back to her.

"How is Qiqi's health lately?" Yu Chi asked Xia You.

Xia You glanced at the flag on the sofa and said, "Well, it's been good for the past two days, and I've gained some weight." ”

Wei Chi doesn't know much about children, and he can't tell if children are fat or not.

Yu Chi: "Well, that's good. ”

Xia You: "Big brother, do you want to stay for lunch?" ”

Wei Chi: "No, I'll go first." ”

Unless it was necessary, he wouldn't spend too much time alone with Xia You.

Jiang Mingcheng is quite right, he should avoid suspicion.

Yu Chi wanted to leave, but Xia You didn't stop him and let him go.

………

As soon as he came out of Xia You's side, Wei Chi received a call from Rongguang.

Glory called him out for lunch.

You don't have to think about it to know what it's for.

It happened that Yu Chi also had something to say to him, so the two of them quickly booked a time and place.

At twelve o'clock, in the box of the winery, Wei Chi and Rong Guang sat facing each other.

After ordering the food, Rongguang couldn't wait to ask Wei Chi: "I said boss, how did you hook up with Cheng Rao?" ”

Wei Chi: "Pay attention to your words. ”

Rongguang coughed, "Seriously, I'm so curious, how did you two meet?" ”

Rongguang felt that Cheng Rao and Wei Chi were two people who couldn't beat each other, why did they suddenly hook up together?

Also, as Wei Chi's friend for so many years, he really didn't know that Yu Chi liked this hexagram.

Can he stand such coldness?

He always felt that Wei Chi should find the kind of gentle, considerate and proactive. Cheng Rao doesn't look like this no matter how she looks at it.

Wei Chi didn't answer Rongguang's question, Rongguang naturally wouldn't give up, and asked reluctantly: "What is her attitude towards you?" Where have you two got? ”

Yu Chi: "It's okay. ”

Glory: "What? ”

Yu Chi: "It's not all the way, forget it." ”

At this point, he had run out of patience.

Obviously, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Rong Guang hadn't recovered from the fact that the two of them had a relationship, but now Wei Chi said that it didn't matter, he was just joking with him-

But looking at Wei Chi's state, for the sake of his own safety, Rongguang decided not to ask.

**

After the two clearances with Wei Chi that day, Cheng Rao's life was very quiet.

Stay at home every day, eat, sleep, eat, and feel comfortable.

I haven't been sick in the past few days, and I slept better at night, Cheng Rao's complexion looked a lot more rosy than before.

During this period, Cheng Rao would basically chat with Xiao Lu every other day, mainly to ask her about the situation at home, and make sure that there was nothing wrong with the Xiao family, and she could rest assured.

Xiao Lu occasionally chatted with Cheng Rao about Wei Chi's problems.

After asking for Wei Chi's mobile phone number that day, she has been struggling with when to contact Wei Chi and how to contact Wei Chi.

Xiao Lu has never been in love, and always feels that if a girl is too active, it will seem very cheap.

Every time I chat with Cheng Rao, the topic will turn to this issue.

Cheng Rao didn't pay much attention to these problems, and when Xiao Lu was entangled, Cheng Rao told her that she could just contact her.

With Cheng Rao's encouragement, Xiao Lu struggled for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to make a phone call to Wei Chi.

………

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Xiao Lu called, and Wei Chi had just come out of the gym.

He doesn't have much to do lately, so he goes to the gym in the afternoon.

As soon as I came out of the gym, my phone rang. When I took it out, I still didn't know the number.

Wei Chi picked it up and didn't speak.

Then, he heard the voice of the little girl on the other side.

"Hello, is it Wei Chi?"

Yu Chi: "Oh, it's me. ”

His answer was not too enthusiastic.

Xiao Lu pursed his lips before continuing: "Well, do you remember me, last time you went to the hotel with my sister-in-law to pick me up......"

Xiao Lu didn't know how to introduce herself, so she could only move out of the events of that night.

Hearing Xiao Lu say "sister-in-law", Wei Chi's face immediately changed.

Of course he remembered the events of that night.

He will remember that a large part of the reason is because of this title-

However, Wei Chi still didn't know what the other party was calling her for.

After being silent for a while, Wei Chi asked directly: "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Uh...... Well. Xiao Lu hesitated, "You saved me twice before, I really appreciate you, so I want to treat you to dinner...... Do you have time tonight? ”

Hearing Xiao Lu's question, Wei Chi subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He was sluggish, but he could sense that something was wrong.

It's strange that a little girl wants to invite him to dinner for no reason.

However, Wei Chi thought about it seriously again, and when he went out to eat with her, he might be able to ask a lot of questions about Cheng Rao.

For example, the one he was most curious about -

Wei Chi didn't respond for so long, and Xiao Lu was already too nervous.

She clutched her phone in one hand and clenched into a fist with the other.

was mentally prepared to be rejected, but unexpectedly, Wei Chi agreed.

He said, "Yes, you can." ”

The moment he heard Yu Chi say this, Xiao Lu had a feeling that he was dreaming.

She was stunned for a while before she said the address of the restaurant: "That...... See you at XX Restaurant? Is it okay to go at half-past six? ”

Wei Chi let out an "um" and replied, "Yes." ”

After the two of them determined the time and place, Wei Chi hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lu was so nervous that he couldn't do it.

She really didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Wei Chi agreed so simply, does it mean that he is also interested in her?

………

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lu went to change his clothes and put on makeup.

In fact, Xiao Lu's foundation is very good, whether it is figure or appearance, she can be ranked in the middle and upper class, and there are many people who chase her in school.

But Xiao Lu's vision is still relatively high, and among so many people, there is basically nothing she can look at.

Xiao Lu changed her skirt, put on light makeup, and then went out.

She would go out often, and her parents didn't ask anything.

**

At half past six, Xiao Lu came to the agreed restaurant on time.

Because it was a weekday, there were not so many people in the restaurant, so Xiao Lu quickly found an empty seat.

A few minutes after she sat down, Wei Chi arrived.

After seeing Yu Chi, Xiao Lu subconsciously wanted to stand up.

However, this time he was stopped by Wei Chi.

"You don't have to stand, just sit."

Yu Chi said so, and Xiao Lu couldn't stand up anymore.

She nodded sheepishly, then sat down.

After sitting down, Xiao Lu said to Yu Chi, "I'm sorry to ask you out so suddenly." ”

"It's fine." Wei Chi's reply was not very warm.

After replying, he asked Xiao Lu: "How do you know my mobile phone number?" ”

After all, I still haven't escaped this problem.

After hearing Yu Chi ask, Xiao Lu smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "My sister-in-law I asked...... You don't mind, do you? ”

She said sister-in-law. After hearing this title from Xiao Lu's mouth, Wei Chi's face changed slightly.

Xiao Lu said this, but reminded him of the purpose of coming out today.

Wei Chi chuckled, and then asked Xiao Lu, "Sister-in-law?" ”

He asked rhetorically, Xiao Lu realized that he had shouted this title, Xiao Lu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm used to it." ”

Wei Chi: "Do you have a brother?" ”

Xiao Lu: "Hmm. ”

Wei Chi: "Your brother is Cheng Rao's boyfriend?" ”

Xiao Lu: "Hmm. ”

Yu Chi: "Where is your brother now?" ”

He was really curious about this question. Since they are boyfriend and girlfriend, how can Cheng Rao still be like this——?

Speaking of Xiao Ye, Xiao Lu's expression was somewhat lost.

She lowered her head and was silent for a while, then looked at Wei Chi and barely squeezed out a smile: "He died." ”

Yu Chi: "......"

Suddenly, I couldn't speak.

Xiao Lu sorted out his emotions, "I'm sorry, I was a little sad when I mentioned my brother." ”

"It's fine." Wei Chi asked casually, "Cheng Rao and your brother have been together for a long time?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Lu made a preliminary estimate, "It should be more than two years before and after." ”

More than two years.

After hearing this, Yu Chi clenched his fists.

That's long enough.

Xiao Lu thought that Yu Chi and Cheng Rao were friends with a good relationship, and thought that Yu Chi knew these things better.

But it doesn't seem to be the case.

A question, asked without thinking: "My sister-in-law has a good relationship with you, didn't she tell you this?" ”

After asking, Xiao Lu felt that this question was redundant.

She lowered her voice and said to herself, "Well, yes, she probably won't say it." ”

Xiao Lu's words were not loud, but Wei Chi heard it.

Hearing Xiao Lu say this, Wei Chi subconsciously asked, "Why don't you say it?" ”

Xiao Lu thought seriously for a while, and finally found a topic to talk about with Yu Chi, she naturally wouldn't end it easily. She has no experience in love, and she has never actively chased the opposite sex.

I checked a lot of information before I came out, and one of the tips for chatting is that you can talk about friends that two people have in common.

Cheng Rao can be regarded as a mutual friend between the two of them, so chatting about her should also be able to quickly shorten the distance between her and Wei Chi.

However, thinking of the incident between Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye, Xiao Lu still felt very regretful.

She sighed lightly and said, "My brother's death hit her hard. ”

"She loves my brother very much, of course, my brother loves her very much......" Speaking of this, Xiao Lu paused, "Maybe you usually think that Cheng Rao is more indifferent, but when she is with my brother, she is not like this at all, she is very enthusiastic when she is with my brother, and it is not the same feeling at all as now......"

Very welcoming.

I don't know why, when I heard Xiao Lu say these three words, a picture of Cheng Rao taking the initiative to hook up with him appeared in Wei Chi's mind.

So...... When she was with Xiao Lu's brother, she was like this?

After trying to think about that image for a while, Wei Chi felt that anger was rolling in his heart.

But when I think about it, I feel ridiculous.

They didn't know each other before, so what's the use of him care?

From the first time they met, he knew that she was not the kind of girl who was inexperienced.

I really don't know what I'm angry about right now.

And, just like Cheng Rao said, the two of them are now "two clear".

Don't talk about how she used to be, even if she hooks up with other men now, he can't care about it.

As soon as he thought so, Wei Chi became even more aggrieved.

After living for almost 30 years, it is the first time that he has been so aggrieved because of the relationship between men and women.

Xiao Lu noticed that something was wrong with Wei Chi's face, but he couldn't guess the specific reason.

In order not to let the field cool down, Xiao Lu continued: "She is really good, she has been taking care of us since my brother died, and she will buy a lot of things every time she comes to our house......"

The more Xiao Lu said this, the more unhappy Wei Chi became.

But he didn't let Xiao Lu stop, as if he was masochistic, he kept listening to her.

Later, Xiao Lu kept talking about how good Cheng Rao was to their family, and also talked about how Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye fell in love with each other.

Yu Chi sat across from him and listened quietly.

After almost twenty minutes, the food came up, and Xiao Lu stopped.

In fact, from sitting down just now to now, most of the time Xiao Lu is talking, and Wei Chi is listening quietly next to him, rarely speaking.

Xiao Lu talked alone for a long time, and realized that something was wrong.

So, she stopped and began to take the initiative to find a topic with Wei Chi.

She took a sip of the lemonade at hand, and then asked Wei Chi: "By the way, I heard my sister-in-law say that you are a soldier, do you usually stay in the army?" ”

That night, Xiao Lu had inquired with Cheng Rao about Wei Chi's profession.

At that time, Cheng Rao didn't say in detail, just briefly said that Wei Chi was a soldier, and did not say what type of soldier he was.

Wei Chi: "No, I'm on a mission." ”

Xiao Lu was curious: "What are you all doing?" ”

"I'm in the peacekeeping force." Wei Chi roughly introduced, "Where there is turmoil, go there." ”

Xiao Lu: "......"

She was a little surprised.

Before Cheng Rao told her that Wei Chi was a soldier, Xiao Lu subconsciously felt that he was just an ordinary soldier, and maybe his military rank would be higher.

But I didn't expect him to do such a dangerous job.

Surprised, Xiao Lu thought of Xiao Ye again.

In fact, Wei Chi's work is similar to what Xiao Ye did before, but Xiao Ye is a policeman, not a soldier.

"This kind of work...... It's dangerous, right? ”

Because he thought of Xiao Ye, Xiao Lu's voice trembled a little.

Wei Chi could understand why Xiao Lu was afraid.

A normal little girl, when she hears about this kind of profession, will definitely feel very dangerous.

Wei Chi: "Just get used to it." ”

Xiao Lu: "The nature of my brother's work...... It's about the same as yours. ”

Hearing this, Wei Chi subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

He originally thought that Xiao Ye was just an ordinary person.

Hearing Xiao Lu say this, Wei Chi couldn't help but ask, "What is your brother's job?" ”

Xiao Lu licked his lips and said, "He was a border policeman, and something happened during the mission, and the corpses were all unrecognizable......

Speaking of this, Xiao Lu's voice was a little choked.

Yu Chi could fully imagine what the "corpse was unrecognizable" in Xiao Lu's mouth looked like.

When they go on a mission, once something happens, that's the result.

Thinking of Xiao Ye's incident, Xiao Lu couldn't help crying in the end.

The two of them have a good relationship, so Xiao Lu will be sad every time he thinks of Xiao Ye.

Yu Chi stared at Xiao Lu for a while, but didn't react.

Truth be told, he doesn't comfort anyone. Especially comforting women.

Yu Chi felt that he was not familiar with Xiao Lu, and it would be too inappropriate to wipe her tears with a tissue, so he sat opposite and watched, without saying a word of comfort, and there was no movement in his hands.

Xiao Lu originally thought that if he cried, Yu Chi would express something.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for anything.

Could it be that they don't understand romance when they are soldiers?

Or did Wei Chi not want to comfort her at all-

Yu Chi really didn't react at all.

Until Xiao Lu stopped crying, he didn't say a word.
