Chapter 59: A Strange Invitation
For a week, Yuntian has been living in a tangle, whether to concoct a perfect lie with Li Sen or tell the truth, but if Lan Xin believes the so-called truth, will it pull her into irrelevant danger.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Li Sen's bed again, and it was empty.
Speaking of which, since the beginning of school, this kid has been mysterious, either asking for leave to stay in the dormitory, or running away without a trace.
Professor Su's daughter Su Yuting resigned, to be honest, when Yun Tian heard the news, his heart was also relaxed, he really didn't want to face Su Yuting's eyes every time he looked at him.
The new counselor has not yet arrived, and this time has really cheapened this kid Li Sen.
I took out the phone and was about to talk to Expert Li, when suddenly the phone rang by itself, which was an unfamiliar number.
"Hey, who's that?" Yuntian answered the phone.
The other party was silent for a while and whispered, "Hey, is it Yuntian?" I...... I'm Tan Xue, do you remember me? ”
"Tan Xue? Officer Tan? Why did you call? Yun Tian asked in surprise.
"Nothing else, just ...... Just I wanted to treat you to a meal, thank you...... Thank you for saving my life last time. "Officer Tan seemed to be doing something wrong.
"This ...... Forget it, Officer Tan, let's not be polite, I still have something to do, let's hang up first. Yun Tian really didn't have the strength to meet this beautiful policewoman again, for him, this was simply a sign of death.
"Wait a minute! Don't hang up! Actually, it wasn't me who invited you, it was my grandfather who invited you, and I want you to come with me to express his gratitude. Tan Xue hurriedly said.
"Your grandfather!? ……”
Yun Tian fell into deep thought, the last time I heard from Lao Yu that Tan Xue's grandfather was the Minister of Public Security in Beijing, a high and powerful position, would it make people feel very shameless if they flatly refused?
After pondering for a moment, he replied, "Okay, since the old man invited, I'll go there, where are you?" ”
On a spring afternoon, the sun is starting to turn west, but it's still warm, and the breeze blows the new green leaves.
The girl with long shawl hair under the tree attracted the attention of many boys, she wore a white sweater on the top, a pair of flesh-colored thick pantyhose under a black knee-length skirt, and black flat-heeled boots on her feet.
The girl stood next to a large SUV and waved from afar.
Yun Tian approached and asked uncertainly, "Officer Tan, is it you?" ”
"Yes...... It's me, what's wrong? Tan Xue looked at herself, and her face gradually turned red.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just a long time no see, you've changed a lot." Yuntian really didn't recognize the various styles of the beauties, he only remembered the car that Tan Xue drove, and he walked by.
The speaker has no heart, but the listener has a heart.
Yun Tian's cover-up sentence, to Tan Xue's ears, revealed the vicissitudes and warmth of time.
The car was driving on the road, and there was no word all the way, Yun Tian felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Is your leg recovered?" ”
Hearing this, thinking of the thrilling scene that night, Tan Xue's face turned even redder.
She whispered back, "No, it's fine." ”
"Oh." After Yun Tian made this sound, his mouth opened again, and in the end he still didn't know what to say.
The car quickly drove into a secluded residential area, guarded by guards, and filled with small cottages with detached courtyards.
The car pulled into one of the yards.
Yuntian got out of the car and saw an old man bending over in the garden to fiddle with a potted plant, it was Tan Dexin.
Seeing Yuntian coming, he wiped his hands and smiled: "Young man, here, let's go into the house, I'll clean up first." ”
"Okay." Yun Tian smiled and nodded.
followed Tan Xue into the living room, it was really not small, but this place was half the size of his family.
Yun Tian walked inside, and was suddenly taken aback.
He wasn't surprised at how big Tan Xue's living room was, but at this time, on the big sofa in the living room, there were six or seven women sitting side by side, looking at him with a smile on melon seeds.
Their age range is very complete, from their thirties to their sixties.
"Cloudy sky, is it? Come on, come on! Sit down. When they saw Yuntian, they greeted each other with a gossipy, and although they were very enthusiastic, they always felt that the eyes in which they looked at themselves were strange.
Yun Tian accompanied the smiling face, nodded and sat in a position not far away.
As soon as he sat down, he saw the woman on the sofa next to him looking at him, whispering to the others, and laughing twice from time to time.
Yun Tian always felt that this kind of scene was so familiar?
He suddenly remembered that his mother was like this when she introduced her neighbor's brother to her partner.
The girl not only came, but also came to the seven aunts and eight aunts, and they sat in a full room, and everyone worked together with the man.
Why is it so much like a blind date when you come here today?
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Tan Xue a little blankly, but saw that she looked away shyly, pretending to be fiddling with her mobile phone.
"Yuntian, you're welcome, eat some fruit!" An older woman handed over an apple.
Seeing this, Tan Xue hurriedly introduced: "This ...... This is my second aunt. ”
Yun Tian reflexively shouted, "Oh, the second aunt is good." ”
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but no, this atmosphere was too strange.
"Good! Good! The mouth is so sweet. The second aunt's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Fortunately, at this time, Tan Dexin walked in, and an old woman with gray hair followed by him.
She walked over and took Yuntian's hand and said, "Young man, I can see you, I am Tan Xue's grandmother." ”
Yun Tian hurriedly stood up and replied, "Hello grandma." ”
"Alas...... That's good, I think this guy is good. ”
Grandma was talking, but Tan Dexin let go and said, "Wife, don't make a mess, go to the kitchen to see if it's ready, and start when Jiaming comes." ”
"Good, good! Eat and talk later, you can be casual on a cloudy day, just like at home. The old woman happily went into the kitchen.
As soon as the old woman entered the kitchen, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a police uniform with black-rimmed eyes entered.
"I'm back." The middle-aged man greeted as soon as he came in.
He put away his clothes, turned around and saw so many people, as if he remembered something, and searched his eyes among the people.
Finally walked up to Yuntian and stretched out his hand and said, "Yuntian, is it?" I'm Tan Xue's father, Tan Jiaming, and I'm welcome to you. ”
Yun Tian was already a little dizzy, so he had to instinctively hold the other party's hand and replied, "Hello uncle." ”
Everyone giggled, and the living room was lively for a while, but Yun Tian had the urge to run away now.
At this time, Tan Dexin said: "Now that everyone is here, let's start." ”
After saying that, he took the lead in the restaurant, and Yun Tian hurriedly followed.
The dining room is connected to the kitchen, and a large round table is filled.
It's already full of all kinds of dishes, and it smells pretty good.
Tan Dexin took out a quaint wine bottle out of nowhere, Tan Jiaming's face changed, and then he smiled: "Yuntian, you have taken it orally, the old man has paid a lot of money to entertain you today." ”
Yun Tian's face was full of doubts when he heard this, and he saw Tan Dexin slowly pour the pale yellow liquid in the bottle into several cups in front of him.
A smell of wine that he had never smelled before suddenly wafted away, and Yun Tian couldn't help but sniff.
"Come on! Yuntian, taste this wine, you can't drink it outside. After Tan Dexin finished speaking, he put a cup in front of Yuntian.
Tan Jiaming stared at the wine in the cup in front of him and sighed: "Speaking of which, when was the last time you drank this wine?" Two years ago, in the Chinese New Year's Eve, Tan Xue had just been admitted to the police system. ”
At this time, the kitchen door opened, and Tan Xue's grandmother walked out, followed by a middle-aged beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman untied her apron, sat down with her grandmother, and smiled at Yun Tian: "I am Tan Xue's mother, welcome to Yun Tian." ”
"Hello Auntie." Yun Tian felt like he was about to cry.
Everyone raised their glasses to eat, and within ten minutes, the seven aunts and eight aunts at the table began to pay attention to Yuntian's family, the physical condition of his parents, and what work he did, eager to turn out his old bottom.
It wasn't until Tan Dexin coughed that everyone gave up, he picked up the wine cup and said: "Yuntian, there is no other meaning to invite you over today, the main thing is that our whole family is grateful to you, thank you for saving my precious granddaughter's life." Let's raise a glass and toast the sky! ”
Everyone raised their glasses together and said words of thanks to Yun Tian, Yun Tian was really flattered, and he was busy toasting one by one.
Good wine and good food, everyone is very happy to eat, and Yuntian has gradually let go of some things.
After the banquet, everyone returned to the living room to chat, and Tan Dexin beckoned to Yuntian.
Yun Tian understood and followed him to a secluded room.
Tan Dexin sat on the chair, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuntian, but he politely refused.
Seeing this, Tan Dexin nodded and smiled: "It's a good thing not to smoke." ”
He lit one himself, leaned back in his chair and took a puff, stared at Yun Tian for a moment and said, "Young man, Lao Tan, I called you here today, in fact, I have a certain amount of selfishness, and I ask for your forgiveness first." ”
Yun Tian's heart moved, and he finally had to tell the real reason, wouldn't it really be a blind date.
Tan Dexin flicked his cigarette ash and frowned: "I won't beat around the bush, in fact, since the last incident, the organization warned me not to have too much contact with you, so although I want to thank you, I have never been able to find the opportunity." It's just that after that, Tan Xue, this girl, was branded with lovesickness for you, so I had to talk to you. ”
"Lovesickness? I? Old Tan, you're too worried. Yun Tian replied.
Tan Dexin shook his head and said, "I was just guessing before, but according to my observation today, it should be right." ”
Yun Tian listened, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Tan Dexin continued: "Although I can't get in touch with the National Strategy Research Institute at my level, I still hear some rumors, and the gang of mothers-in-law outside are chattering because they don't know your true identity, but I know that you and Tan Xue must be impossible." Please forgive me for being direct and rude. ”
"So that's what you're really asking me for today?" Yun Tian asked expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Tan Dexin said: "Yuntian, please don't doubt our family's sincerity in gratitating you, but Tan Xue is my precious granddaughter, she is very shy in terms of feelings, and I really can't bear to see her like that every day." ”
"And what exactly do you want me to do?" Yun Tian asked.
Tan Dexin sighed and said: "Tan Xue is still young, she is easily blinded by some superficial things at this time, and she has no hesitation for love, and she doesn't know what kind of lover she should choose, so I just hope that you just don't pay attention to her in the future, whether she calls you or comes to you, I hope you don't give her any thoughts and possibilities." ”
Yun Tian nodded and said, "It's not difficult to do, I will do it." ”
Tan Dexin was very pleased with Yuntian's simplicity, and he said: "Young man, thank you for your open-mindedness and fulfillment. To tell the truth, you are Tan Xue's savior, as long as you are a normal human being, I will definitely not interfere in the emotional problems between you. It's just that you can never have a result now. ”
Although Yun Tian was a little harsh when he heard it, he also knew that this was due to the worry of an elder, and he and Tan Xue did not have any feelings, so it was better to be a favor, which was one less troublesome.
It's just that Lan Xin's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, yes! I'm not even a human now, how can I be so selfish when I have to delay Lan Xin.
In the midst of this silence, Yuntian's mobile phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and exclaimed, "What! Something happened to Li Sen?! ”
