"Don't look at it, I'll eat it when you're full." Ning Ronghao fed her an takoyaki, "Let's eat fried chicken first, or it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Hmm." Chu Xinyi nodded, she knew that Ning Ronghao was not afraid that the fried chicken would be cold, but that the rock sugar gourd had just been brought back from outside and that the cold was too big, and he was afraid that she would have an upset stomach after eating it.
Chewing the takoyaki in her mouth, she picked out a fried chicken leg with the most attractive color from the bucket in her hand, handed it to Lan Yecheng, who was sitting on the other side of her, and said with a smile: "Xiaocheng, you eat." ”
Lan Yecheng was stunned, and in a trance, he seemed to be back to his childhood.
That day, the family had a treat, and they were taken to the firewood room by Lan Fucai. She was hungry from morning to night, and when she saw that he was crying with hunger, she slipped out and stole a chicken leg from the kitchen for him.
Although he is young, he also knows that the things at home cannot be eaten casually, and that uncle will beat people. But she said it didn't matter, and coaxed him to eat it with peace of mind.
After he finished eating, she took the chicken leg bones out of the firewood room, deliberately letting Lan Fucai see it, thinking that she had stolen food and beat her all over her body.
And he, because he was too scared, didn't want to confess, and didn't even dare to say anything to beg for mercy for her.
At that time, he was still a child, and he couldn't even protect his favorite sister when he was weak.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xinyi saw Lan Yecheng staring at the chicken legs, her face was pale, and her lips were bloody, she quickly put down the chicken legs in her hand, wiped her hands, touched his forehead, and asked worriedly, "Xiao Cheng, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Sister...... Lan Yecheng looked at Chu Xinyi, who was close at hand, his vision gradually blurred, he really wanted to hug her, he wanted to call her "sister".
Feeling the sharp gaze cast from behind Chu Xinyi, Lan Yecheng was afraid that Ning Ronghao would notice something, so he hurriedly looked away, and said as he got up: "I...... I thought I still had something to do, so let's eat first......"
"It's too late to do it after you've finished eating." Pei Shengwei stopped Lan Yecheng before Zhao Hengyi, and at the same time gave his friend a look of "I am the boss here".
"No, I'm still ......" Lan Yecheng broke out in a cold sweat on his back, he was really careless. I didn't expect Ning Ronghao to be so gentle to Chu Xinyi, but when he protected her, he was so tough.
"Well, go get a few more beers, and then sit down and eat." Although Zhao Hengyi didn't know why Lan Ye was in a hurry to leave, there must be something, since he needed a little space, he might as well help him.
Lan Yecheng nodded and threw a grateful glance at Zhao Hengyi.
Zhao Hengyi looked at his back as he left, satisfied.
Ning Ronghao didn't like Lan Yecheng's look at Chu Xinyi from the beginning, especially at that moment just now, he even felt the urge of the kid to hug her at any time.
Lan Yecheng left in a hurry, in his opinion, it must be because of a weak heart. However, Ning Ronghao also seemed to be a bit too much for himself to actually use his attitude towards Gu Yi to deal with that child, and he felt like a college student bullying a kindergarten child.
With a sigh of self-reproach, he found that Ning Zaiyu seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he asked, "Zaiyu, what trouble did you cause again?" ”
"Again?" Ning Zaiyu came back to his senses, frowned and asked, "Brother, am I a brother who often causes trouble in your heart?" I think you've been abusing your brother lately. ”
"Oh? I don't think I should show you what real abuse is. Ning Ronghao glanced at Chu Xinyi, who was eating very boldly, with the rest of his eyes.
The night before yesterday, he just fixed her hands on top of her head, and she actually said that he was playing with SM, and at that moment he really wanted her to see what the real SM was.
"Look, that's it, you've never said anything like that before." Ning Zaiyu saw Ning Ronghao's small movements, so he followed his line of sight to Chu Xinyi, and said with a grin: "Is it that you have been with a certain woman for a long time, and people have become bad?" She is acting violently and you are mentally abusive. ”
Ning Ronghao retracted his gaze and said seriously: "Don't push the problem on others, I see that you are clearly in trouble." You are popular now, if you feel that something is wrong, you must say it. Even if you don't tell me, you must tell Qiu Shaolin. ”
"Oh." Ning Zaiyu responded and hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I'm not sure myself, I just came back from shopping, and when I walked to the door, it seemed that two little girls took pictures of me, and they kept smiling at me when they saw me looking over, I don't know if I was recognized." ”
"Although entering and leaving the bar is not a big problem, you should call and talk to Qiu Shaolin, just in case." Ning Ronghao thought for a while and advised: "You must think of your words in advance, and it doesn't matter if you're with us." ”
"I see." Ning Zaiyu immediately went to call Qiu Shaolin.
After eating a roasted sweet potato, two boxes of takoyaki, three skewers of grilled squid, and several fried chicken thighs and chicken nuggets, Chu Xinyi finally patted her round stomach to show that she was full. Then he excitedly ran to the rock sugar gourd, picked up a string and sent it to his mouth.
"Brother Rong Hao, I have a saying, don't be angry." Pei Shengwei had endured it for half an hour, but he really couldn't help it.
Ning Ronghao smiled and nodded, he probably guessed what Pei Shengwei was going to say.
"Sister-in-law...... What an appetite. Pei Shengwei thought for a while before thinking of this more appropriate wording, after all, it was Ning Ronghao's most precious wife, and he was also afraid that his words would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
In fact, he just wanted to express that he was frightened by Chu Xinyi's appetite.
"Yes, it's rare to see a girl who dares to eat like her." Ning Ronghao glanced at Chu Xinyi dotingly, the amount of exercise tonight will be relatively large, and it is also appropriate to eat more.
"What do you know, my sister-in-law is a heroine among women!" Ning Jae-woo gave an exaggerated thumbs up.
Chu Xinyi blushed when she heard everyone talking about herself, put the last two rock sugar gourds in her mouth, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
When she came out, she saw a crack in the back door of the bar, and looked in the direction of everyone, and only Lan Yecheng was missing from the people present.
Pushing open the door and poking her head out, she saw Lan Yecheng squatting not far away, not knowing what she was doing.
Walking over lightly, I faintly heard a few kitten meows.
The sound of stepping on the snow behind him made Lan Yecheng turn around, and seeing that Chu Xinyi came out without a coat, he hurriedly got up and greeted her, regardless of her objections, insisted on taking off his coat and putting it on her.
"Xiaocheng, are you feeding the cats?" Chu Xinyi looked at the stray cats, and she felt more and more that Lan Yecheng was a kind-hearted good child.
"Well, when I saw that there was something left, I fed them something." Lan Yecheng didn't let go of his hand after putting on Chu Xinyi's coat, hugged her shoulders and stood side by side with her.
Chu Xinyi nodded, and suddenly thought that Lan Yecheng was wearing very little, so she hurriedly took his hand and ran to the bar.
The two entered the bar, Chu Xinyi was so cold that she stomped her feet, and Lan Yecheng carefully locked the back door.
Because she felt cold, Chu Xinyi's ten fingers tightly grasped the placket of her coat, and then she was stunned for a moment, her fingers slid down, and pinched his coat, this child's clothes are too thin.
Ning Ronghao didn't see Chu Xinyi for a long time, so he came out to look for her, and just happened to see her standing at the door wearing Lan Yecheng's coat.
"Are you going out?" Ning Ronghao walked over and hugged Chu Xinyi's waist.
"Husband, I just went out with Xiaocheng to feed the cats." After a pause, Chu Xinyi changed her words and said, "No, it's Xiaocheng feeding the cats, I just looked at it twice." ”
Ning Ronghao threw a meaningful glance at Lan Yecheng, then lowered his head and pinched Chu Xinyi's nose, and said angrily: "You, if you want to go out, wear a little more, what if you catch a cold?" ”
"Husband, let's discuss, before we go home in a while, you accompany me to the mall, I want to choose a down jacket by myself, but the money is still paid by you, husband, this is also a gift from you, okay?" After speaking, Chu Xinyi pouted and looked at Ning Ronghao, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she continued: "The down jacket I wore today is too thick, and you don't want me to fall down because of inconvenience." Besides, we have to go back to our grandparents tomorrow, aren't you afraid that I will scare the two old people? ”
"Okay, but you can't pick one that's too thin, the down jacket has to be both of us satisfied." Ning Ronghao also knew that Chu Xinyi was telling the truth, but he also put forward his own conditions.
"Deal!" Chu Xinyi immediately agreed.
As she spoke, she felt Lan Yecheng coming over, so she took off the coat she was wearing, turned around and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Xiaocheng, thank you just now." ”
Lan Yecheng shook his head slowly, didn't speak, didn't look at her, just took his coat, lowered his head and walked away.
"What's wrong with him?" Chu Xinyi blinked, this was definitely not her own heart, Lan Yecheng seemed to have suddenly distanced herself from her.
Ning Ronghao glanced at Lan Yecheng's back, he really couldn't see through that child.
Forget it, now there are more important things. Thinking of this, he lowered his head and said with an ambiguous smile in Chu Xinyi's ear: "Wife, let's go home."
Chu Xinyi was full of food and tired, and she really wanted to go home. However, she also knew that there would be more intense exercise waiting for her when she returned home.
She wrinkled her little nose and bargained with Ning Ronghao: "Husband, when I go home, can you let me rest for a while, don't ...... right away Okay? ”
"Are you tired?" Ning Ronghao hugged Chu Xinyi tightly, "Don't worry, I'll wait until after dinner." ”
Chu Xinyi nodded with a smile, hugged him and walked over to say goodbye to everyone.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that she had just had dinner.
Seeing off Ning Ronghao and Chu Xinyi, Zhao Hengyi glanced at Ning Zaiyu, who was still holding on, and asked, "Aren't you going back with them?" ”
"If it were you, would you be a light bulb?" Ning Zaiyu asked rhetorically.
Zhao Hengyi shook his head reluctantly, and teased with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite interesting." ”
"Don't talk about Zaiyu yet, look at what time it is, why hasn't she come yet?" Pei Shengwei's eyes were either staring at the door of the bar or staring at Zhao Hengyi's mobile phone, "It's been nearly two hours, she can't have anything happened on the road, right?" ”
"Two hours?" Zhao Hengyi looked at the time, "You are too exaggerated, it will not be more than an hour and a half at most." ”
"Call and ask." Pei Shengwei looked very nervous, he didn't know if he was nervous that something would happen to her, or if he was nervous that she wouldn't come.
The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer from there. Zhao Hengyi was originally not a person who liked to entangle, but he still made three phone calls under Pei Shengwei's coercion and temptation.
When it came to the third one, she suddenly refused to answer the phone, and just when the two of them were inexplicable, she sent a message: I'm sorry, there is something temporary, see you in the gallery tomorrow.
"She's really not coming?" Pei Shengwei snatched Zhao Hengyi's phone and looked at the message blankly, even if the phone screen was dark, he would press it again, continue to read and press ......
"It's a demonic obstacle." Zhao Hengyi no longer paid attention to Pei Shengwei, the bar was about to open, and when he saw that Lan Yecheng had already started preparations, he sat back in his exclusive seat, and Ning Zaiyu also got up and said goodbye.
