Chapter 1: The Return of the Mage
Xu Chengcheng is only a sophomore in high school, introverted, a good girl, has never had a boyfriend, and never looks at those messy things. But in the past half a month, she has dreamed every night that she was pressed into bed.
She huddled on the sofa in the living room with her phone, not knowing what to do.
Their Xu family is a wealthy family, living in a top-level villa, the house is luxuriously decorated and brightly lit, but she doesn't have a sense of security, and she doesn't even dare to tell anyone about this shameful thing.
At this time, Sister Tao led a man in, saying that she was looking for her father Xu Zhengyang.
The man was carrying a backpack, looking a few years older than her, with soft eyebrows and eyes, and a very gentle temperament, he walked up to her father and said, "Second uncle, I'm Xu Lai." ”
"You...... Are you Xu Lai? Xu Zhengyang stood up from the sofa.
Xu Chengcheng was also taken aback, this person called her second uncle, that is, her cousin.
She had vaguely heard of such a thing before, saying that her uncle's family originally had a son, and because he was destined to be alone, he killed his uncle and aunt.
Grandpa was afraid that he would harm the Xu family, so after listening to the words of a warlock, he gave him away, and cut off all blood relations with the Xu family.
"Yes, second uncle, I'm back." Xu Lai said with a smile, looking at the group of people in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he still had a vague impression of many people.
He was only six years old when he was sent out, and he was given to a Taoist priest. However, this Taoist priest was not a good person, so he sold him.
But because of this, he was fortunate enough to meet his master and learn various spells with him.
Originally, when he was eighteen years old, he wanted to come back to see it, but something happened at that time, he was entrusted by an old friend of his master to go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to be the head of the Heavenly Master Mansion for five years.
It wasn't until he recently stepped down from his position as head coach that he returned to the Xu family. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Don't scream, we don't have your nephew!" Xu Chengcheng's mother happened to come down from upstairs and immediately shouted angrily.
"Second aunt." Xu Lai shouted.
"Don't scream, you still scream! You have already cut off relations with our Xu family, what kind of relatives do you come back to recognize? Coming down from the stairs was a beautiful woman dressed in fashionable fashion, who sneered and said, "You don't want to come back and divide the property, do you?" Oh, there are no doors! ”
It was Xu Lai's stepmother who spoke, although she hadn't seen her for many years, this woman's appearance hadn't changed much, and it was not much different from Xu Lai's impression.
"You'd better hurry up, this isn't your home anymore." Xu Zhengyang said with a frown.
Xu looked at Xu Zhengyang, feeling a lot older than he remembered, and said, "Second uncle, I'm not a lonely criminal, but the warlock was wrong back then." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the second aunt coldly ridicule: "What are you talking nonsense! Master Renge is now the premier master in Jiangning City, famous far and wide, can he be wrong? You scourge, don't say anything about killing my eldest brother and sister-in-law back then, causing our Xu family to almost die, do you still have the face to come back? ”
This was said so badly that Xu Lai didn't argue with her, and looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Second uncle, where is Jiaojiao?" He asked about his sister Xu Jiao.
"Jiaojiao has me to take care of her, it's very good. You'd better not hurt her! Xu Lai's stepmother interjected coldly.
"That's it, we're going to eat, so I won't leave you." Xu Zhengyang didn't want to entangle with him any longer, so he frowned and ordered to send off the guests.
Xu Lai sighed slightly in his heart, looked at Xu Chengcheng who was huddled on the sofa with a pillow, and said, "Second uncle, this is my cousin, right?" ”
I heard the second aunt rush to say: "What your cousin!" Don't come close, this is my daughter! ”
Xu said: "Second uncle, I want to say a few words to my cousin alone, and I'll leave after that." ”
"What do you want to do?" The second aunt is vigilant.
Xu Zhengyang stared at Xu Lai, hesitated for a while, turned back to his daughter and said, "Cheng Cheng, you go over and say a few words to him." ”
"Daughter, shout out if there's anything!" The second aunt was not at ease.
Xu Chengcheng got off the sofa and timidly followed Xu Lai into the room next to him.
"You're Cheng Cheng, right?" Xu Lai closed the door and asked with a smile.
Xu Chengcheng nodded. For this cousin who has never met before, her first impression is actually quite good, and I don't know if it's because of the blood relationship, I think he is quite close.
"It's going to be a little embarrassing for me to ask, don't be shy, tell me the truth, okay?" Xu Lai Wenyan said.
"You ask." Xu Chengcheng nodded.
"Have you ever done that kind of thing in the last month, the kind of intimacy between men and women?" Xu Lai asked.
Xu Chengcheng's face suddenly burned red, and he was ashamed and angry in his heart. How could anyone ask such a thing in person, and this person is still her cousin by blood!
"Of course I didn't!" Xu Chengcheng was ashamed and anxious, turned his head and was about to escape from the room, but he felt a tightness behind his back, and was pulled back by the man with his clothes.
Xu Chengcheng was about to scream loudly, when he asked again: "Did you dream of this kind of thing?" ”
Xu Chengcheng was stunned for a moment. These days, she is almost about to collapse, what she is most afraid of every day is sleeping, this kind of shameful thing has no one to say, a person is panicked and helpless, and the state is getting worse day by day.
At this time, this big secret was suddenly revealed by him, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and cried out, but he was afraid of being heard by the family outside, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and sobbed in a low voice.
"It's okay, my brother is here." Xu Lai patted her on the shoulder, softly relieved, and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.
Xu Chengcheng also held back for too long, and he couldn't control it when he started crying, so he finally stopped.
"Do you see what this man looks like?" Xu Lai asked.
"No, I can't see it clearly." Xu Chengcheng choked up, his voice trembling.
Xu Lai was about to say something, when he heard a knock on the door outside the door, and the second aunt's voice shouted outside, telling them to go out quickly.
Xu Lai took out a cylindrical brass amulet and handed it to her: "I didn't bring anything with me the first time, this is a greeting gift, and I usually wear it on my body, so I don't have to be afraid." You don't have to worry about other things, you have a brother. ”
"Hmm." Xu Chengcheng pinched the talisman in his hand and nodded heavily.
Xu Lai smiled, took her to open the door and went out, and suddenly a bunch of people came up hulala.
"Cheng Cheng, come here!" The second aunt hurriedly pulled her daughter over, and when she saw that her eyes were red, she was immediately furious, and she was angry at Xu Lai, "What did you do to my daughter?" ”
"Mom, I'm fine, my eyes were a little itchy just now." Xu Chengcheng said busily.
Xu glanced at everyone, took out a note and handed it over: "Second uncle, if there is anything, you call me here." ”
Xu Zhengyang took it, didn't look at it, tore it into a few pieces in his hand, and threw them into the trash: "The affairs of our Xu family don't bother outsiders, you can leave quickly." ”
Xu Chengcheng hid behind her mother and stole a few glances at the trash can, thinking to herself, how to pick up the note when no one noticed.
"Then take care, everyone." Xu Lai smiled bitterly, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until he got to the door that he glanced back at the luxurious villa with a complicated expression. When he came back this time, he originally thought that he could at least sit down with everyone and have dinner, but he didn't expect that in their minds, he was not even as good as an outsider.
He came out of Bihua Garden, and he didn't think about where to go for a while, so he picked a random direction and walked along the street.
I don't know how long I walked like this, and suddenly I felt a chill on my face.
It turned out to be raining.
The summer rain came as soon as it was said, and soon the bean-sized raindrops fell on the head.
Xu Lai had no choice but to run for a while, and there happened to be a community called Zijinyuan next to him, so he went to the door to hide from the rain. I was bored for a while, and I saw a bulletin board next to it with rental information, so I went over to take a look.
He recalled it, and estimated that this place was not far from Bihua Garden, where the Xu family lived, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed it according to one of the rental information.
The person who answered the phone was a woman, who heard him say that he wanted to see the house, and said that he came over within half an hour.
Xu Lai hung up the phone and waited at the door.
About 20 minutes later, I saw a young girl holding an umbrella hurrying through the rain curtain, walked up to him and asked, "Are you renting a house?" ”
Seeing Xu Lai nodding, he said, "Then let's go." You didn't bring an umbrella, I'll hold you through. ”
"That's embarrassing." Xu said.
"What a big deal, my umbrella is big, and two people can hold it up." The girl wore a black skirt with a small round neck, her hair was combed into a ponytail, her appearance was pure, beautiful and gentle, but her personality was quite bold.
As he spoke, he held up an umbrella and took Xu Lai into one of the buildings in the community.
