We got in the car together. In the car, Hao Jia sat on Hao Junqi's lap and fell asleep after a while. It was half past nine in the evening.

When we arrived in Hexi, Jin Limei and I helped carry the box to Hao Junqi's house. Xu Xiaorou stayed in the car.

I carried the box into Hao Junqi's room and went to the kitchen to wash my hands. Hao Junqi followed up. When I washed my hands and turned around, she handed me a towel to wipe my hands and said, "Brother, can we go to the East Gate if you have time?" ”

"Do you want to go?" I towel my hands dry.

"Hmm."

"Okay. What time is better for you? "I returned the towel to Hao Junqi.

"If you're free, I'd like to go tomorrow. Isn't tomorrow Sunday? Hao Junqi said.

"Okay. That's it. I went back. ”

"Bye-bye. Thank you, brother. ”

I waved my hand and walked out of the room.

Jin Limei was waiting in the courtyard.

Jin Limei and I walked out side by side.

"There's a question I want to ask you, Zheng Yidao?"

"What's the problem?" I asked.

"I always feel that you seem to have some ulterior motive for taking me to Hua'an."

"What ulterior motives can there be? You don't think I brought you back to my house so my parents could see you, did you? "I deliberately teased Jin Limei.

"Do I think so? But I think it's possible if you don't have any other purpose. By the way, have you decided to accept me, Zheng Yidao? ”

I sneered, "I know there are many stinky and beautiful people in the world, but I have never seen you so stinky and beautiful." ”

"I'm so stinky, how are you?" Jin Limei said.

"I said Jin Beauty, why are you angry when others say something serious to you, and you can accept how I flatten you?"

"Because I love you."

"Be careful I don't take you back."

"You dare?"

We walked to where I parked. Xu Xiaorou was dozing off in the back row.

We opened the car door, and Xu Xiaorou woke up.

"You're back? I almost fell asleep. Xu Xiaorou rubbed her eyes.

"Looking at you like this, I can't help but feel that the current students are really working too hard." Jin Limei said.

"It's fine." Xu Xiaorou said, "Bitterness has the pleasure of suffering. ”

I dropped Kim off at the intersection of her residential area. She got out of the passenger cab, and then smiled at me, "Zheng Yidao, you get out of the car, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter? Why don't you just say it in the car? Is Xiaorou an outsider? I said.

"You can't get out of the car?" Jin Limei is domineering.

"Okay, I'll get out of the car."

I got out of the car and down to the ground. A car drove by on the street with its headlights on. The headlights are dazzling, and people can't help but scold their mother. On the sidewalk opposite, several young men and women laughed loudly and harshly. Many of the shops in the neighborhood are closed, except for the one diagonally opposite, where the lights are still on.

"Say it." I say.

"Come here." Jin Limei tugged at my arm.

"Pay attention to the impact, don't pull it."

"Poof, you don't imagine me as that kind of woman, do you?" Jin Limei smiled.

"I think it's kind of like that. No, it's not a bit like, it's true. ”

"What the hell you." Jin Limei punched me.

"Didn't you say something's wrong?"

"I just wanted to tell you why I insisted on skipping supper tonight."

"Why?" I asked.

"Guess what?"

"Didn't you say you're afraid of fat?"

"That's an excuse. I'm telling you, I'm going to leave this opportunity to both of us. Jin Limei said.

"What do you mean?" I looked at Jin Limei. The light was dim, and I couldn't make out Jin Limei's facial expression.

"Guess for yourself, I'm leaving. Drive slowly and stay safe. ”

I was stunned for a moment.

When Kim disappeared into the darkness, I went back to the car.

"What did Sister Jin say secretly, and she said it for so long?" Xu Xiaorou yawned.

"Nothing. It's not like blackmailing me for a meal. I said.

"I think my uncle is in a bit of trouble."

"What's wrong? What's the trouble? "I start the engine.

"It's a common problem for good men." Xu Xiaorou sells Guanzi.

"Just say it." I shifted gears, gas pedal.

"An idiom describes that Yan Fu is not shallow." Xu Xiaorou seemed to be smiling.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Didn't you see that Sister Jin deliberately went to our night stall tonight?" Xu Xiaorou asked rhetorically.

"Didn't she say she was walking alone, and came to see it because she thought about it?" I say.

"Not really." Xu Xiaorou said with certainty.

"Where do you see that?" I asked.

"A woman's heart is understood only by a woman. I'm telling you, uncle, you're about to fall into the whirlpool of love. ”

"The whirlpool of love? Does love have a whirlpool? I said.

"Of course there is a whirlpool of love. Have you ever seen a whirlpool in the river? It's a rapid, round and round. However, getting caught up in the matrom of love is not a good thing. Uncle wait and see. ”

"There's no such thing at all."

When I arrived at the Splendid Future Community, I parked the car and went upstairs with Xu Xiaorou.

The neighborhood is quiet. The corridor was dark, and every household turned off their corridor lights. I took out my phone for lighting.

Xu Xiaorou suddenly grabbed my arm and tightened.

"What's wrong?" I was surprised.

"I suddenly wanted to take my uncle's arm. I used to walk with my dad by the arm. Xu Xiaorou said.

"But I'm not your father." I moved my arm, but I still let Xu Xiaorou hold it. This situation is forcibly pulled out, which must be a harm to Xu Xiaorou.

"But you're my uncle. Do you know? I think that in this way, the relationship between us will be closer, just like you and Aunt Hao, although there is no blood relationship, but like brothers and sisters, I also hope that the relationship with my uncle can be so close. Xu Xiaorou said.

"Aren't we already so close?" I say.

"But I don't feel like it's yet. However, this intimacy arises when holding hands. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" I say.

But even though I said this, I still felt warm in my heart.

Before we knew it, we were at the doorstep. Xu Xiaorou took out the key to open the door, and then took out the indoor slippers I was wearing from the shoe cabinet.

"Does Uncle know how many dishes Xiaorou bought today?" After I put on my shoes, Xu Xiaorou asked me. She put my leather shoes and the sandals she was wearing in the shoe closet.

"How many dishes?" I say.

"I bought five dishes. It's all you love to eat. ”

"Tell me about it." I suddenly wanted to talk to Xu Xiaorou more.

"There are sauerkraut fish that you like to eat, sweet and sour lotus root slices, 'ants on the tree', and I also prepared beer duck and tomato egg soup." Xu Xiaorou crossed her fingers and spoke, which was very cute.

"It's really all what I like to eat. That's too much, right? ”

"You can order a little wine. Because you haven't eaten at home for a long time, I think it's very warm and like home. ”

"Isn't it too lonely to be alone?" That sense of guilt returned.

"Hmm. That's why I asked my uncle to come home early when he was free. ”

"Okay."

"Are you free tomorrow? I'll cook these dishes for you tomorrow. Xu Xiaorou said happily.

"I'm sorry, I told Aunt Hao to go to the East Gate."

"Won't it?" Xu Xiaorou pursed her lips.

"I'm really sorry. Aunt Hao has been away from Dongmen for eighteen years and hasn't been back once, so ......"

"Hasn't Aunt Hao been in Yangjiang for many years? Why didn't you go back to the East Gate once? Xu Xiaorou was very puzzled.

She always thought that her father had really killed the village chief's son. So I didn't dare to go back at all. She worked in the Civil Affairs Bureau and always avoided the villagers. I gave a brief explanation to Xu Xiaorou.

"Then there is no way, after all, eighteen years. Older than my age. ”

"Xiaorou is so empathetic." I say.

"Xiaorou is not understanding, will Uncle not go?"

"I'm definitely going to go."

"So I don't have a choice." Xu Xiaorou looked helpless.

"It's okay, Rou. We live together every day, don't we have many opportunities like this? ”

“OK。 Then I'll go do my homework. Uncle, take a bath and sleep early. Xu Xiaorou waved her hand at me and smiled sweetly.

I watched Xu Xiaorou walk into her room.

After Xu Xiaorou entered the room, I sat down on the sofa to rest. After a day of tossing, I feel more tired.

The sound of a child crying could be heard breaking the silence of the night sky. I could even faintly hear the chirping of frogs coming from the fields outside the compound.

I closed my eyes and leaned back on the couch to think about things.

I envision driving to the East Gate with Hao Junqi tomorrow. The scenery along the way will definitely bring back childhood memories, and we are bound to have a lot of emotion, but I plan to use this time to talk about my past with Hao Junqi in general.

In the few days since I was reunited with Hao Junqi, I didn't find a suitable time to talk to her about my past.

Hao Junqi should have the right to know my past. She should be curious to know about my past, too.

However, Hao Junqi is a very measured person. In the past few days, she hasn't asked me about my past. I guess it's because she doesn't know if I'm willing to tell her about my past. She would never force me a bit. So, she could only wait quietly. No matter how urgent she was, she just waited quietly.

Including the divorce with Xu Mo mentioned in today's conversation, Hao Junqi was only slightly surprised after hearing it, although she was not calm at all.

Obviously, on this matter alone, you should also explain to Hao Junqi as soon as possible.

Not to mention the supernatural things of the convex ring!

The convex ring spirit flashes repeatedly, and always flashed at critical times, which must be known to Hao Junqi.

What would Hao Junqi think if she learned that the convex ring on my middle finger also had a supernatural spirit, and that the concave ring on her middle finger prevented me from going to the palace of love with any woman?

If Hao Junqi learned that even marrying Xu Mo was an expedient measure, a kind of decoration, what would she think?

Also, tomorrow, whether it is a concave ring spirit or a convex ring spirit, will it really maintain the promise we made at the beginning, and will it be verified?

That is to say, tomorrow, when hearts and hearts call each other, and feelings and feelings attract each other, will Hao Junqi and I naturally get closer. If, we walked into each other very naturally, it is not known whether the flesh ring spirit will be silently promised or stopped by the same flash.

If it is a silent promise, doesn't that mean that it has been trying to maintain the promise we made for 18 years? It means that it has been preventing us from breaking our promises.

And if it still flashes supernatural spirits, how can it be explained? What would that mean?

No, no, it can't be. There is no such possibility!

But what if it really flashed?

If it did, what does that mean?!
