was forcibly dragged back to the courtyard by Shen Lang, and when she saw the old man in the courtyard, Huairou temporarily gave up the idea of leaving, on the one hand, because of Uncle Shen's retention, and on the other hand, because the courtyard seemed to be able to hide people's eyes and ears.

The old-fashioned mobile phone has not moved for the time being, which proves that the one should not know where he is now, in fact, Huairou has gambled this time, she has been following the instructions of that person before, but she is subject to all kinds of dangers.

Now she is already planning to investigate on her own, even if that person is powerful, she shouldn't know that she has returned to Beijing, right?

After all, this is the place where she had an accident in the first place, and according to normal thinking, although some clues may be found here, it is still full of dangers of exposing herself, and that person should not have imagined that she would come back.

Therefore, Huairou lived in the courtyard again, but found that she caused a lot of dissatisfaction after she stayed.

That person is Wu Xiaoqi, who has always been hostile to her, in fact, for Huairou, she herself doesn't like Wu Xiaoqi.

Aunt Wu has two daughters, one daughter has long been married and has children, and Wu Xiaoqi is her adopted daughter, who has been taken care of as her own biological daughter.

After a day of rest in the courtyard, I heard the lively environment in the small courtyard early the next morning, it seemed that everyone was gathering in the courtyard to do something, and the lively talking was accompanied by laughter, which made this morning seem particularly warm.

Listening to the voice, Huairou got up and dressed neatly, there was no one in the living room, Huairou remembered that Uncle Shen would read the newspaper in the living room every morning after getting up, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table, it seemed that Uncle Shen had just gone out.

I went to the bathroom to wash up and tie a ponytail and went out, a group of people were talking and laughing in the middle of the small courtyard, and there was something steaming and fragrant on the table, faintly wafting Huairou smelled the smell of dumplings.

In addition to these, there are many bamboo pieces and wooden strips on the ground, pieces of paper of various colors piled up on the round stool, and a model woven into the shape of an animal with wooden strips.

"Xiaorou is here, come on, come on, your Aunt Wu made dumplings and meals."

Uncle Ma immediately beckoned when he saw Huairou, and a thin old man sitting next to him was eating dumplings with a bowl.

Aunt Wu pulled a stool for Huairou, and when she entered the Xi Huairou, she saw that Shen Lang was not there, and she didn't know where she had gone early in the morning, could it be that she hadn't woken up yet?

"Look at the time, Xiao Shen should be back, right?" Someone asked aloud.

In front of him was a small bowl with a blue and white porcelain pattern, and the white and round dumplings in it were bubbling with aroma, and Huairou who saw it had a great appetite and thanked the entrance.

After biting into it, the aroma of the meat fills the nasal cavity, and the taste is still a little crunchy like lotus vegetables, and the dough is firm and chewy, and the mouth is full of fragrance. It tastes good, but it's a little greasy, and it might be even more delicious with a little balsamic vinegar.

Huairou was thinking about it, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, Shen Lang walked directly with a bottle of balsamic vinegar in his hand, Uncle Ma looked at it and laughed: "It's coming, this dumpling still needs a little vinegar to be enjoyable, come and pour the plate, who wants chili?" ”

Uncle Ma beckoned Shen Lang to pour vinegar, poked the red chili pepper in the bottle with chopsticks and moved it into a small plate, and then poured out some chili oil, smelling with a smell of chili oil.

Shen Lang sat next to Huairou, took the bowl containing dumplings and ate it too, but Wu Xiaoqi, who was sitting opposite, frowned, but didn't say anything to stretch out his chopsticks to add vegetables.

"Xiaorou still eats to your appetite, right? Don't always eat dumplings, come and have some food. ”

Aunt Wu said and pushed the plate of beef in front of Wu Xiaoqi in the direction of Huairou, the beef slices were sprinkled with coriander and the chopsticks had not been moved, and Wu Xiaoqi's chopsticks were just staggered.

"Mom! Who is your daughter? ”

Wu Xiaoqi's face became even more ugly, and she seemed to complain about her temper.

"You kid, you're talking nonsense again. When will you be like your Brother Shen and Sister Xiaorou, I will be able to rest assured! ”

Looking at her daughter's little temper, Aunt Wu shook her head with emotion.

"Xiaoqi is still young, and she will definitely be sensible when she grows up."

Uncle Shen smiled at Wu Xiaoqi's pouting appearance and excused Wu Xiaoqi.

"That's it! It's still Uncle Shen who loves me the most, and when I go back and marry Brother Shen and call you father, my mother should be happy. ”

Wu Xiaoqi pulled Uncle Shen and smiled happily, and the words made everyone laugh.

"Hahaha...... Xiao Qi originally wanted to marry Xiao Shen? No wonder Brother Shen screamed all day long, but I remember that these two children were playing hand in hand when they were young. ”

Uncle Zhao, who often plays chess together but doesn't like to talk, opened his mouth and inadvertently said what happened to Shen Lang and Wu Xiaoqi when they were children.

"Of course, when I was a child, I was Brother Shen's bride! Yes, Brother Shen! ”

Wu Xiaoqi carried the stool and squeezed between Shen Lang and Huairou, pulling Shen Lang's arm and shaking it.

"yes. Every time you force me to play with you, I'm going to cry if I don't play, I've never seen you like to cry like this. ”

Shen Lang lifted his lips and chuckled, thinking of the scene when he was a child was indeed quite nostalgic, but his gaze inadvertently swept to Huairou's frowning brow, and his heart was stunned.

The table was lively, and everyone had a smile on their faces, but Huairou lowered her head, feeling an inexplicable discomfort sweeping through the meridians of her body, making her a little unable to sit still and want to leave.

Frowning, Huairou felt that the original fragrant dumplings had lost their taste, the residual taste of chewing in her mouth was the same as chewing wax, and her chest was heaving with some difficulty breathing, and slowly Huairou put the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl.

"Why! You are the only boy in the courtyard, why don't you be the groom for me and my sister? ”

Wu Xiaoqi snorted, and almost knocked Huairou off the stool with a straight back, but Wu Xiaoqi leaned her head sideways on Shen Lang's shoulder as if she didn't notice it, and glanced at Huairou with her eyes over, but the corners of her mouth showed a victorious smile.

"I'm your brother, no big or small."

Shen Lang subconsciously wanted to push Wu Xiaoqi away, but seeing that Huairou's expression was getting more and more ugly, he was originally going to push Wu Xiaoqi's hand away, but instead patted Wu Xiaoqi's hair.

"Don't make a fuss, what are you doing running over to eat well? Come back! ”

Aunt Wu saw her daughter sticking to Shen Lang, her face frowned with some disapproval, after all, her daughter is already an adult, unlike when she was a child, she hugged and hugged boys like this, how do you look at it.

"I don't! I'm going to sit with Brother Shen, slightly! ”

made a grimace at Aunt Wu, Wu Xiaoqi hugged Shen Lang's arm and didn't let go, Shen Lang seemed to chuckle helplessly but didn't pull Wu Xiaoqi's arm away.

Huairou listened to the laughter of Shen Lang and Wu Xiaoqi, and her mood plummeted, especially when Wu Xiaoqi bumped into it just now, she also knocked off the chopsticks that were originally resting on the edge of the bowl, and now Huairou is not in the mood to eat.

"Alright, let's eat."

Uncle Shen spoke, and Wu Xiaoqi stopped making a fuss and let go of Shen Lang's arm to prepare for dinner, and glanced in Huairou's direction, as if he had just discovered her.

"Yikes! Sister Xiaorou, why did your chopsticks fall off? Skipping a meal? This is the dumplings that my mother worked so hard to make this morning, and she said that she wanted you to taste her craftsmanship, why did you just eat a little and stop eating it? It can't be because the meal is not rich enough, right? ”

Wu Xiaoqi's voice was a little loud, which made Aunt Wu's expression a little ugly, and the rest of the people also looked at Huairou, as if asking her with their eyes.

"No ......"

Huairou shook her head and wanted to refute, but as soon as she said a word, she was immediately interrupted by Wu Xiaoqi, as if she deliberately did not let her speak.

"Don't like to eat? If you don't like to eat it, just say it early, alas, but it's a pity that my mother got up early to make dumplings for you. What do you like to eat? By the way, Sister Xiaorou, where is your home? You can't remember who you are after all this time? I have a classmate who is studying medicine, he is majoring in psychiatry to treat psychiatric problems, why don't I contact him to help you take a look? ”

This was a bit excessive, Shen Lang frowned unhappily, he saw that Huairou's expression had become gloomy, like a precursor to anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid! Xiao Rou This is amnesia, what does it have to do with the spirit! Shut up and eat! ”

Aunt Wu immediately shouted to stop Wu Xiaoqi, and looked at Xiaorou with some apologies and explained: "Xiaorou, don't be like this child, she can't talk all day long. This dumpling, if you don't like to eat it, don't force it, Aunt Wu doesn't know what you like to eat. ”

Sure enough, she was misunderstood by Aunt Wu, Huairou opened her mouth to explain, but when she saw Wu Xiaoqi glaring at her, thinking that the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious before, she made everyone unhappy as soon as she came.

Wu Xiaoqi didn't like her, Huairou knew what the reason was, seeing that Wu Xiaoqi and Shen Lang were like childhood sweethearts, she felt that she was extremely redundant at the moment.

Although she doesn't like to eat dumplings, she likes Aunt Wu's cooking, but now Aunt Wu's attitude seems to recognize that she doesn't like to eat and is barely eating.

As soon as the words of explanation came to her mouth, Huairou swallowed again, these people get along like family, maybe she is here to make them really embarrassed?

"I'm sorry Aunt Wu, the dumplings are delicious, but I'm full. You eat slowly, I'll go back to my room first. ”

Huairou got up as she spoke, nodded to the old people present, and then left the table.

"Mom, I just said she doesn't like to eat! Do you still blame me? I really don't know who your biological daughter is, and you don't believe what I say. ”

Wu Xiaoqi saw Huairou leave the table, a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she looked at her mother and complained, and her tone was full of complaints about her mother.

"You kid!"

Aunt Wu was interrupted by Wu Xiaoqi, and glared back at Wu Xiaoqi, her daughter knows it herself, and her daughter can see Huairou's squeeze clearly, but after all, she is her own daughter, no matter how she is educated, she should be at home, and Aunt Wu still gives Wu Xiaoqi face outside.

Huairou, who returned to the room, sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, surrounded by Shen Lang's things, this room was originally Shen Lang's, but now she occupies the place. Is she a dove occupying a magpie's nest?

Wu Xiaoqi's attitude just now has already explained the rejection of her, Shen Lang's attitude towards Wu Xiaoqi is something she has never seen before, the kind of tolerance for family members and doting like a lover make Huairou feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

This feeling is something that Huairou has never experienced, and inexplicably feels a little pantothenic acid in her heart, like balsamic vinegar when she just ate dumplings, sour and astringent to her heart, extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, could this feeling be, jealousy?
