Protective color

"Jingyi, I've heard He Mo talk about you for a long time, and I finally saw it today, it's really cute!" Father He said kindly, Chen Jingyi was a little shy, but he didn't expect He Mo to use the word "cute" to describe himself to his family.

Chen Jingyi didn't know how to answer, so she could only look at him with a smile.

"By the way, this is Aunt Li, she is He Mo's sister, He Xin." Once again, he introduced the two people around him.

She turned her gaze back to the two of them, smiling and greeting.

But she really thought it wouldn't be good if she just laughed and didn't speak, so she tried to find a topic.

"My sister looks pretty small, is she in junior high school?"

Maybe she didn't feel familiar, but her sister just nodded and didn't speak.

"Hey, Xiaoxin is too introverted, she just entered her first year of junior high school this year." The aunt on the side saw that her sister was silent and helped her explain.

"Oooh." Chen Jing clinged to it.

"How is Xiao Xin's studies lately?" Just when Chen Jingyi didn't know what to do next, He Mo took over the conversation, "Can the junior high school curriculum keep up?" ”

"It's okay, it's a lot more difficult than before, but it's still not a big problem for the time being." The conversation between my sister and He Mo was much smoother.

However, Chen Jingyi felt that she was only twelve or thirteen years old and felt quite mature when she spoke, did she no longer understand the post-zero generation?

"When I was in junior high school, I got a perfect score in math several times, can you do it?" He Mo "stimulated" a little.

"Cut, isn't it just a perfect score, of course I can!" Sure enough, he was provoked by the law.

"In this way, if you can get a full score in any subject, my brother will give you 500 yuan, how about it?" He Mo threw the bait.

For a junior high school student, 500 yuan is a huge amount of money......

"It's a deal!" My sister's eyes seemed to be shining.

The uncles and aunts on the side also echoed: "Xiaoxin has to work hard, you must earn the bonus that your brother gave you!" ”

……

Chen Jingyi on the side looked at everything in front of him with a smile, and felt that although it was a reorganized family, it seemed that they were still getting along quite harmoniously.

It's just that she is also a little curious, they have been together for so long, but he has never mentioned this matter, does he feel that there is no need to tell her?

As the atmosphere slowly became warm between everyone's chats and laughter, the dishes were gradually served, and everyone finally began to move their chopsticks.

During this period, they occasionally appreciated the deliciousness of the food, and occasionally shared their recent lives, but they were all to the point and did not have some in-depth discussions.

This made Chen Jingyi feel very comfortable and comfortable, and the more private and embarrassing questions she was afraid of did not appear.

Rather than meeting her parents, this meeting felt more like a reunion between friends after a long absence.

Gradually, Chen Jingyi became more cheerful, no longer afraid of the so-called "parents" and "elders", and began to express his opinions more.

Everyone seemed to have a good time, and the dishes on the table were almost empty between small talks, but everyone was still unsatisfied.

After the meal, Chen Jingyi wanted to invite them to change the venue and drink some tea or something, but because they were tired and needed to go back early to rest, they left separately.

On the way back, Chen Jingyi was still immersed in excitement.

"I didn't expect them to really get along, I was worried before!"

"I told you a long time ago, but you still don't believe it."

"But...... Why haven't you told me about your family before? She took advantage of this topic and asked the question in her heart.

He Mo held the steering wheel in his hand, as if he had done a mental construction, and then slowly spoke: "When I was in the first year of junior high school, my parents divorced, and I followed my mother. ”

His tone still sounded faint.

"But there seemed to be some unhappiness when we got divorced, and my father's new residence and my mother's and I lived at opposite ends of the city."

Later, they both remarried and had new children in their new families. I not only have my sister He Xin, but also a younger brother Xu Zipeng. My sister is 12 years old and my younger brother is 10 years old. ”

Chen Jingyi listened and suddenly felt a little sad, although He Mo's tone did not reveal any emotion.

"Actually, my parents love me very much, and my stepparents are also good people, but when they each have a new family, I don't think I should destroy their respective integrity."

"After graduating from junior high school, I told them that I wanted to go to City C. They didn't want to do it at first, worried that I wouldn't be able to live a good life on my own, but I insisted, so I left. ”

The more Chen Jingyi listened, the more distressed she became, and she turned her head to stare at his side face, hoping to make him feel herself.

However, He Mo did not look back, still looking at the road ahead, and continued.

"Later, in the college entrance examination, I still stayed in City C to study at university, and I didn't think about going back after graduation. They love me, I know, but my presence will always have an impact on them, and I don't want to bother them in any way. Now like this, I feel good to have you by my side. ”

"He Mo......" Chen Jingyi whispered her name, but didn't know what to say.

She knows now, and many things that she couldn't understand before seem to have answers.

Why is He Mo so independent, why is he warm and considerate to everyone, and why do you rarely see negative emotions in your body......

What she once thought of as his perfect quality came from some of the pain caused by the changes in his original family, which forced him to be more mature and powerful than others at a young age.

His clouds are light and breezy, but in fact he is just his protective color.

"What's wrong? Feel sorry for me? He Mo laughed out loud as if he didn't care.

Chen Jingyi looked at him, trying to detect his true emotions from his smile.

"It's distressing." She told the truth.

"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for me, having four parents who care about me and two lovely younger siblings is actually a happy thing. Besides, now that I have you, my life is complete, and there is nothing to feel sorry for. ”

But the more he said this, the more Chen Jingyi couldn't rest assured.

The more sensible he is, the more she can feel his sadness when she was still Xiao He Mo.

But she was already very aware of He Mo's character, and no longer tried to make He Mo open his wounds, and vomited as soon as possible.

Now that it's gone, let them stay in the past forever. In the days to come, she will always be with him, and she will no longer have to face separation.

She stretched out her hand and stroked He Mo's face: "After that, I really won't leave, I can't get rid of it if you want to!" ”

He Mo asked rhetorically: "You are only now saying that you really won't leave, did you lie to me before?" ”

Knowing that he wanted the atmosphere to be active from the depression just now, Chen Jingyi cooperated with him: "Hmph, I used to think about running away, but now I don't want to think about it for the time being." ”
