Walking outside the gate of the villa, Nalan Ying was about to put down the things she was carrying and was about to open the door, but found that the door was not closed, but a gap was gently opened. Nalan Ying's face just changed slightly, and she found that a figure had pushed the door open, and then looked at her with a smile, although she still looked quite respectful on her pretty face.

"Auntie, are you back? Grandpa Nalan saw that you had been out for so long and was worried about you, so come in quickly, I'll help you carry these things. After Xia Xiaolan finished speaking, she hurriedly took out Nalan Ying's slippers and put them at the latter's feet, then got up and picked up her things and wanted to enter the house.

"Eh Xiaolan, is Yangyang back?" Nalan Ying seemed to remember that Shao Yang hadn't called her yet, so she hurriedly asked Xia Xiaolan about it.

Xia Xiaolan turned around, and suddenly smiled, and then replied to Nalan Ying: "Brother Shao Yang is back, I'll call him upstairs." ”

"Hmm." Nalan Ying's brows suddenly furrowed, and then nodded slightly.

And Xia Xiaolan naturally didn't notice the change in Nalan Ying's expression, so after seeing the latter nod, she put the big bag of things in her hand on the sofa at will, and immediately ran quickly to Shao Yang's room on the second floor.

"This girl—"

Just when Nalan Ying was about to follow secretly, a helpless voice with a kind smile quietly came from the restaurant, and then Nalan Qian's figure appeared in the hall, and the latter saw that Nalan Ying had finally returned, so he walked quickly to the latter: "Why have you been out for so long, has something happened?" ”

Nalan Ying saw that her wandering gaze had been stared at by her father, and she couldn't help but suddenly feel anxious, in fact, she went out to the hospital today, and she did meet Shao Wenbo on the road, who asked him if he was used to living in Santa Fe, and Nalan Ying hoped that he could go back to Songhai to worship her husband at the grave together, but as soon as these words fell, Shao Wenbo's tone became serious, and then he casually found a reason for something to do in the company and postponed it. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Shao Yang had guessed before. Perhaps, Shao Wenbo didn't want to go from the bottom of his heart......

"Sakura-chan, what are you thinking?" Nalan Ying still had a smile on her face, but there was an extremely sharp Ling Ran in her eyes.

"Huh? Oh, it's just that I'm stuck in traffic, so I delayed a lot of time. It's okay, it's not early now, you and Yangyang haven't eaten yet, let's go to the restaurant for dinner. Nalan Sakura really didn't want her father to worry about her own affairs any more, so after making a slight decision in her heart, she changed the topic.

"You don't have to be perfunctory with me. If you don't want to say, Dad won't ask further. Okay, let's eat together when Yangyang and Xiaolan come down. Nalan Qian's eyebrows trembled slightly, and after whispering a word, he turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

"Dad, I-" Nalan Ying was about to explain, but she didn't mean to listen to her father, so she could only sigh, and then her eyes swept to the stairs on the second floor with a little complexity, her expression flickering slightly, so that no one could guess what she was worried about at the moment.

"Bang bang bang-"

With a continuous crisp knock on the door, Xia Xiaolan's childish childish voice also sounded outside the door: "Brother Shao Yang, Auntie is back, let you go downstairs to finish eating, come out quickly." ”

"Oh, got it, you wait a minute." Shao Yang reflexively responded, and then his sword eyebrows froze slightly, "Eh, why did she call me ...... again?"

Shao Yang nudged his eyes in front of his forehead rather comically, then stood up from the writing desk, and after smiling a little angrily, he walked quickly to the bedroom door and opened the door, and his eyes met Xia Xiaolan's crystal clear eyes.

Looking at Xia Xiaolan's delicate and playful pink and white face like a ceramic doll, Shao Yang was a little distracted in an instant, as if he had some dusty memory in his heart that had been suddenly awakened, and he looked at the latter and was stunned for a while.

"Huh? Brother Shao Yang, what's wrong with you, isn't it, I shouldn't call you that? After all, Xia Xiaolan is also a girl who has not yet opened her love, how can she stand Shao Yang, an adult strange man, staring at her like this, so her face couldn't help but flash a touch of crimson in an instant. But it was immediately covered by a trace of worry rising in her heart, and after his eyes moved away from Shao Yang's face, he also shook his hand back and forth in front of the latter's eyes, and then his tone carried a hint of tentativeness.

"Huh? Oh, no. Well, your name is Xia Xiaolan? Shao Yang's expression was a little strange, and he suddenly asked so inexplicably.

"Yes, Brother Shao Yang, didn't you already ask me just now?" Xia Xiao Lauder frowned slightly, and then replied with a pouting and confusion.

"Really?" Shao Yang also didn't understand what was wrong with him for a while, but he was trying to calm himself down, and after calming down, his eyes also regained his previous wisdom, and he immediately began to look at Xia Xiaolan again, "You call me big brother, how old are you?" ”

"I'm eighteen, just an adult." Xia Xiaolan smiled sweetly.

"That's it, I'm only nineteen years old, not much older than you, so I can't afford to be your big brother, and in the future, you can just call me by my name." Shao Yang's heart condensed slightly, judging from Xia Xiaolan's rather lolit appearance, Shao Yang almost thought that there was a little girl standing in front of him who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he didn't expect the latter to be an adult, so while sighing at the appearance of Xia Xiaolan in front of him, he was also explaining.

"Hmm, but how can you call your name directly, it feels so strange......" Xia Xiaolan scratched her head with her little hand and pondered intently and muttered while bowing her head, this scene made Shao Yang have an urge to laugh out loud, just call himself by his name, why does it feel strange, what kind of logic is this?

"Ah, there is, otherwise I will call you Brother Shao Yang in the future, can you remove the word 'big'?" Just as Shao Yang was about to say something, Xia Xiaolan slapped her little hand suddenly, and then raised her head and looked at Shao Yang with a hint of solicitation and joy.

"Uh-well, then." Shao Yang was naturally finally defeated by Xia Xiaolan's gaze, so after breathing a sigh of relief, he nodded a little convincingly, and immediately reminded, "Okay, hurry up and go downstairs." ”

"Uh-huh." Xia Xiaolan smiled at Shao Yang quite obediently again, and then the lotus step started lightly, and when she turned around, she was the first to walk downstairs, and her figure looked particularly light and pretty at this moment.

Looking at Xia Xiaolan's departing back with an innocent smile, Shao Yang, who has always been cautious, also locked his thick eyebrows, he always felt that it was a little unusual for Xia Xiaolan to treat himself so enthusiastically, how could a girl who had just met him feel as if he had known him for a long time, and the most important point was that the sense of discrimination in Shao Yang's heart that had been generated by the accumulation of years told him that the girl in front of him did not seem to be as simple as her appearance.

"What is the origin of this girl? Could it be that I really knew her somewhere before? Shao Yang whispered a few words of questioning on his lips, but after thinking a little to no avail, he finally shook his head slowly, took a step and followed the former towards the restaurant downstairs, and at this moment in his heart, another more solemn murmur began to come out quietly.

"Forget it, don't think about it yet. The most important thing at the moment is that I must take advantage of the time when I go back to Songhai tomorrow to pay respects, and secretly check the real cause of my father's death; Because for some reason, my intuition began to tell me that this matter seemed to be vaguely inseparable from my uncle......"

The evening breeze gently blows across the vast sea, waving wave after wave of reciprocating waves, endlessly lapping the coastal reefs, the night sky looks slightly gloomy after the cool rain, and under this dark night sky, on a beach outside the Santa Fe seaside road at this moment, two middle-aged men dressed in black and with a burly figure look at each other, but their eyes are looking at the horizon covered by the haze in the distance, talking to each other, and their tones are particularly gloomy under the suppression of such a bleak atmosphere.

"Fifth child, are you sure that when you followed Eighth that night, you didn't misunderstand that girl?"

"Well, it's not wrong, it must be her! Hehe, but the fifth is really unlucky, I just wanted to envy her for being able to soak in a stunning beauty, but I didn't expect that as soon as I turned around, the uncompetitive guy was directly beaten by a passerby. ”

"Passers-by? What does he look like, do you see it clearly? It's not Nalan Yunxiao's kid, right? ”

"It was too dark at the time to see the specific appearance, but I'm sure it wasn't Nalan Yunxiao, because that kid seemed to be wearing a pair of glasses."

"A young boy with glasses? Could it be ......?"

"How's he doing?"

"It's good, it looks like I'm already around the third level of black belt in taekwondo. But fourth brother, you suddenly remembered to ask this, wouldn't it be because you wanted to avenge the eighth child alone? ”

"Cut, that guy couldn't stand to be beaten himself, how could I possibly help him get revenge. It's just that according to the description you said, if I am not mistaken, the kid who saved Liu Qingyi should be Nalan Yunxiao's cousin-Shao Yang. ”

"Huh? It's him! Why did he come to Santa Fe too? ”

"Don't make a fuss, that kid has a clever head, but it's not that difficult to deal with. I think that we could clean up Nalan Yunxiao's kid in Europe under the leadership of the second brother, are we still afraid that he won't succeed? ”

"Well, that's right, with the eldest brother and second brother here, we will definitely be able to knock out a lot of money from the Nalan family and the Liu family again!"
