Shen Lang saw Huairou leave the table, and in the bowl in front of her was a bowl of dumplings that he had eaten a small half, just now he saw that Huairou was obviously eating very fragrantly, not like Wu Xiaoqi said that he didn't like to eat.

Speaking of Wu Xiaoqi, Shen Lang looked sideways at the girl sitting next to him, this Wu Xiaoqi was something he grew up watching, and he treated Wu Xiaoqi like a sister.

The lively and lovely Wu Xiaoqi always likes to pester him, and the existence of the little sister next door, he always takes good care of Wu Xiaoqi, but that was a long time ago.

Since leaving home for military service, Shen Lang has not seen Wu Xiaoqi for a long time, and Wu Xiaoqi has been attending college in other places, and the contact between the two has become much stranger.

Shen Lang's gaze attracted Wu Xiaoqi's attention, and he looked back at Shen Lang with a shy smile, but Shen Lang frowned and turned away.

Wu Xiaoqi's words just now were indeed a bit excessive, even if Wu Xiaoqi was a little arrogant in the past, he would not speak so aggressively, but this seemed to be the result of his connivance just now.

Thinking of Huairou's expression when she was leaving, Shen Lang was a little worried, he couldn't sit still for a second, so he stood up and walked to the door.

"Brother Shen? Why are you going? ”

Wu Xiaoqi received Shen Lang's gaze, and was originally a little shy, but Shen Lang suddenly stood up and wanted to go home.

Could it be that Brother Shen is going to find that woman? Wu Xiaoqi was shocked, and at the same time quickly got up to chase after him.

Shen Lang didn't answer, but Uncle Shen, who was sitting next to Aunt Wu, spoke, and Uncle Shen had already seen what was happening, so he interrupted Wu Xiaoqi, who was standing up.

"Xiaoqi, don't pay attention to them. After eating, wait for you to help Uncle Shen make lanterns. ”

"Yes...... But Brother Shen, he ......"

Wu Xiaoqi had already turned around and was about to leave, but Uncle Shen's words made Wu Xiaoqi stop in place, wanting to catch up but not wanting to refute Uncle Shen's face.

"Okay, your brother Shen just came back and let him rest more, what are you always doing with him? Hurry up and get to work after eating! ”

Aunt Wu pushed Wu Xiaoqi's rice bowl in the direction of Wu Xiaoqi, and scolded impatiently.

"I ...... How can I pester him! Brother Shen has just come back, I want to have a good chat with him! ”

didn't dare to argue with Uncle Shen, Wu Xiaoqi could only aim the fire at her mother.

"Alright, alright. Everyone in the New Year has to say a word, Xiaoqi and they are all gone, and we will have to rely on you to help us check the lanterns later. ”

"That's right! Our eyes are not good, we have to rely on you! Sit down, eat, eat. ”

Uncle Ma and Uncle Zhao fought a round to persuade peace, and Wu Xiaoqi had no choice but to compromise and sit on the stool, but her mind was full of pictures of Shen Lang worrying about Huairou just now.

Originally, Wu Xiaoqi wanted to be angry with Huairou, thinking that in this way she could dominate Brother Shen, but she didn't expect that Brother Shen was so special to that woman, it seemed that she had to think of something else.

Knock knock, knock knock, the door was knocked, and as soon as Huairou turned around, she saw Shen Lang, and her face immediately became ugly and turned her head not to look at him.

There was a mess in her heart, and as soon as Huairou was sure that she was acting like jealousy, Shen Lang came, how could she face Shen Lang?

Shen Lang originally saw Huairou sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, knocking on the door to attract her attention and wanting to ask what was wrong, but Huairou seemed to see something she didn't want to see and immediately turned her head.

Is he so untreated by her? Shen Lang thought to himself.

"You don't eat much, maybe you'll be hungry later."

"It's okay."

Shen Lang didn't have anything to say, but Huairou replied more simply, as if he didn't want to talk to Shen Lang more.

"That's it." Shen Lang was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, he spoke again: "Xiaoqi's words just now, don't take it to heart, she is young and spoiled." ”

After hearing this, Huairou couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, even if Wu Xiaoqi was younger than her, could she be so open-mouthed and have nothing to do?

didn't speak, Huairou didn't want to listen to Shen Lang's explanation, she was not a virgin, she didn't refute Wu Xiaoqi's active provocation, but this didn't mean that she could forgive generously.

The old people in the courtyard, Huairou is respectful of everyone, she is an outsider who understands her position, so she will not embarrass Wu Xiaoqi, but she can leave this environment that makes her feel uncomfortable.

"You tolerate her more, just for Aunt Wu's sake, don't be angry."

Shen Lang thought that Huairou was still angry, and kept comforting him, but he didn't know that his explanations were all defending Wu Xiaoqi.

Don't be as knowledgeable as Wu Xiaoqi, don't be angry with Wu Xiaoqi, Wu Xiaoqi is still a child?

These sentences are like dust blowing on her face, so that even if Huairou covers her nose, she can inhale it into her nose through the pervasive, and it also makes Huairou's face even more ugly.

"I see, you go out first."

Huairou closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in her heart, after all, she didn't grow up in the courtyard, and when she had only known these people for about a month, how could she compare to Wu Xiaoqi, who had grown up in the courtyard since she was a child?

Shen Lang thought that Huairou would not care anymore, he had already taken the initiative to apologize for Wu Xiaoqi, but Huairou still looked like he was ignoring it.

An inexplicable anger rushed to his heart, thinking of Huairou's various distances and evasions before, he was taking the initiative to pull in the distance between the two, and it didn't seem to have any effect after working hard for a long time.

Shen Lang's face sank, and his tone didn't sound good.

"Everyone is waiting for you outside, and you were going to make lanterns together after eating early in the morning, and you will be embarrassed for everyone to play with your temper like this."

Embarrassed? Huairou's brows tightened, if you want to say that the most embarrassing person in the courtyard now, it must be herself.

As soon as Huairou was about to open her mouth to refute, there was a tingling pain in her stomach, and the intense pain made Huairou's face pale, and she didn't have the strength to refute Shen Lang's words.

Recently, there have been very few stomach attacks, although I was eating meat every day in Tibet, fortunately, there is butter tea to nourish the stomach, and today I have eaten dumplings coldly, and the stomach that has not eaten pasta for a long time is somewhat indigestible.

Cold sweat flowed, Huai Rou's painful face turned pale, and she didn't want Shen Lang to see her current appearance, so she turned her head sharply and turned her back to Shen Lang's rickety body and bowed her head, looking like she was rejecting people.

Seeing Huairou's evasive attitude, Shen Lang only felt anger rising to his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly to exude a cold gaze, but even so, Huairou didn't respond to him at all.

"You just don't want to stay, do you?"

Shen Lang's tone couldn't hear the emotion, and Huai Rou clenched her fist against her stomach in pain, but the sharp pain made her only keep herself from fainting, but she couldn't reply.

"I ask you, you really don't want to stay, do you?"

Huairou's attitude made the flames of anger in Shen Lang's eyes burn straight to his heart, but he didn't know Huairou's situation at this time, Shen Lang angrily reached out and grabbed Huairou's elbow and pulled her hard.

I only felt a sharp pain from my elbow to my scalp, the fist that was originally against my stomach was torn open, and the pain in my stomach was transmitted to the nerves more clearly.

Sharp eyes looked at Shen Lang, her pale face and dry lips showed that she was enduring some kind of pain, Xu is Huairou's expression made Shen Lang stunned, and what Shen Lang originally wanted to say was only speechless when he saw Huairou's face.

"I don't want to stay, I said it a long time ago, but why did you bring me back?"

Huairou's tone was weak, but the weight was very heavy, and Shen Lang grabbed Huairou's elbow even more when he said it.

"You really don't want to come back? How did my father and the old man in the courtyard treat you, and you don't want to come back to see them? Besides, do you have a place to live in Beijing? Who do you know? Aside from the courtyard here, where else can you have a place to live? ”

"Even if I live on the street and live on the flyover, it has nothing to do with you."

After Huairou finished speaking, she shook off Shen Lang's arm, the stomach pain had made her numb with pain, she just didn't want to show her ugliness in front of Shen Lang.

"I've already told you that, and you've always refused to give up."

Shen Lang gritted his teeth and stared at the indifferent attitude on Huairou's face, he had been trying to get close to Huairou, but he found that no matter how active he was, Huairou would only get farther and farther away from him.

I wanted to quarrel, but Huairou's nightmare crying face suddenly flashed in my mind, all the abnormalities in Huairou were after that text message, because Huairou's mother died.

Thinking of this, the original anger seemed to be extinguished by a basin of ice water, Shen Lang sighed and decided that he should not stimulate Huairou at this time, so he could only slow down his tone.

"Okay, it's because I've always refused to give up, but looking at the face of the old man in the courtyard and my father's face, can't you stay with them for a few days? It's almost fifteen now, and everyone wants to make lanterns to hang up to add to the atmosphere, and I think everyone would love for you to help. If you want to come out to help, or if you want everyone to be disappointed, you can do it. ”

After Shen Lang finished speaking, he turned around and left the room, leaving Huairou alone to sit in place in a daze, thinking about what Shen Lang had just said.

Huairou thought that according to Shen Lang's previous temper, he would definitely quarrel with her, and even if he didn't quarrel, he would leave with his sleeves up, but the result was beyond Huairou's expectations, Shen Lang didn't say anything.

Thinking back to her tone and attitude just now, Huairou felt that she was indeed a little excessive, Shen Lang took her back to the courtyard because she was worried about her safety, there was no fault in this regard, it was she who did not tell Shen Lang about the danger she might face.

Sighing, Huairou clenched her fists and got up, Shen Lang was right, she shouldn't let the old people down if she stayed for a few days.

I don't know if that person will find out her whereabouts, she should still leave as soon as possible before bringing danger to the courtyard, and she can't let the courtyard be destroyed by that person.

The feeling of stomach pain had decreased, and Huairou also walked out of the room not long after Shen Lang left the room, and returned to the small courtyard to see that everyone had begun to prepare the materials for making lanterns.

Uncle Shen was sitting on a stool, fiddling with a wooden stick in his hand; Aunt Wu was stirring the paste in the bucket, and pulled Wu Xiaoqi to help; Uncle Ma and Uncle Zhao sorted out the materials together, and then the two also began to fiddle with the wooden strips; Shen Lang stood at the door and looked at Huairou who was going out, as if he was waiting for her to go out.

Seeing Huairou go out, Shen Lang's tightly knit brows loosened, and he walked to the table first to take a wooden strip and start weaving, and everyone smiled when they saw Huairou come out.

"Xiaorou, are you alright? Everyone is making lanterns, so if you don't feel well, go back and lie down. I'll leave it to us to keep the lanterns you can see at night. ”

Aunt Wu's tone was full of concern, which made Huairou blame herself a little, she had been thinking about leaving but had not considered the feelings of the old people in the courtyard, they treated her like her own relatives.
