Either way, the beginning of love is not necessarily love......

Although it was spring, the sun seemed to be much hotter than the same period in previous years. At noon, the ground was snow-white, and the eyes of passers-by were always uncomfortably squinted. Zeng Yu held a parasol and walked sweatily under the tree-lined avenue that could cover the sun, only to feel that the burning heat eased slightly. By the time she zoomed in, she could already see the end of the boulevard, where the old house had been wrapped in a small green castle with plants she had planted with her own hands. There is a song with the lyrics of "Every home is a castle", ten years is not a snap of a finger, I don't know when she has not been a writer, but it has become her castle.

Zeng Yu got home, changed his shoes and went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door to find water first, and poured a large cup of water. Zeng's mother was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, watching her daughter Niu drink ice water, stopped what she was doing, and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, you have something wrong with drinking like this." ”

After a glass of water, Zeng Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling very happy, but his hand did not stop, he continued to pour water into the cup, poured more than half a cup of water, put the glass teapot into the refrigerator again, and then slowed down and continued to sip. Father Han was frying blood duck, glanced at Zeng Yu with a side smile, and said, "Girl, are you tired?" ”

"Well, I'm tired, hot and thirsty. On such a hot day, our leader also asked me to go to the countryside to do measurements, and sunscreen was not used as a wall. ”

"You're just working, you have to talk less and do more, but you can't shout that you're tired, the leader won't like it." Zeng's mother has repeated this sentence every day since Zeng Yu went to work.

Zeng Yu washed her hands and nodded obediently, knowing that her mother was like this, she was not happy, she would still instigate.

Father Han put the blood duck on a plate and called, "Girl, bring the dishes to the table, I'll fry another green vegetable, you put down the dishes and chopsticks, and call your brother to eat." Zeng Yu responded, but his heart suddenly became awkward. She looked up in the direction of the staircase, and after a morning of calming down, she suddenly became nervous.

She carefully brought the plate of fried black and fragrant blood duck to the table, and shouted as she walked, "Brother, it's time to eat." ”

Zeng Yu has always called Han Mengyu's brother only in front of his parents, usually, they have no intersection, and the stepbrother and stepsister are not biological brothers and sisters, not to mention that Han Mengyu is five years older than her. She has always felt that Han Mengyu treats herself like a little child, even if she has graduated from college and come out to work, she also feels that in his eyes, she is still like a green little fruit, growing inconspicuously in the shade, and he disdains.

The estrangement between them seems to be not only the five-year age gap, but more likely to be his understanding and impression of her in the past ten years, which has been deeply rooted at the beginning of their acquaintance.

She once thought that he was sneering at Xiao Qingguo like herself, but when she thought so, she didn't think of it......

When Zeng Yu was ten years old, her parents divorced, her father raised Xiao Tangyuan, and her mother raised her. How sad she was at that time, complaining about her parents every day, and not understanding why her good parents left when they said they were leaving. Until she was twelve years old, her mother married her stepfather, and she became a drag into a new family, and that resentment turned into a feeling of rejection, which continued.

After learning that her mother's hopes of remarrying and getting back together with her father were completely shattered, when she first entered a new family, she felt that she had gotten into a dead end, and her resentment deepened. So, she turned that resentment into hostility and grafted it onto her stepfather and stepbrother, and she ignored her stepfather and stepbrother for a long time after entering the new family. It was only later that as she grew older, she felt that her mother was very happy, and her stepfather was kind and caring to her, so she gradually opened her heart and truly integrated into the family.

Even so, she is still estranged from this brother. I remember a long time ago, on a sunny afternoon, at the age of twelve, she poured ink into his shoes, and she felt great pleasure when she did bad things, but as soon as she turned around after doing bad things, she saw him standing at the door of the study, and she had already taken into account all her actions.

Although he did not blame her or complain to his parents, she felt that their estrangement had already arisen from that time. It's not that she can't eliminate a sesame-sized thing in ten years, but after she carried out many small-bellied chicken intestines to him, even she felt that for Han Mengyu, she was a stingy and vindictive stepsister. When Han Mengyu slowly came down from the upper floor, she happened to see Zeng Yu sipping the soup on her fingers, her lips falling on her fingertips, soft and ruddy.

Zeng Yu saw that Han Mengyu was as elegant and calm as usual, and even bowed her head and washed her hands slowly, and forcibly hid her little panic. His, as usual, made her think that what happened last night was just a dream of Nan Ke, and when she woke up, he was still her unsmiling, calm and reserved stepbrother.

Thinking like this, she really had never seen him in a fiery or rude manner. Sometimes, she even felt that it was really incompatible for him to live in the same family as herself. How to put it, like stepfather and mother, in her opinion, it is not so suitable. The stepfather is a cultivated person, a good old man who belongs to Sven Wen, and the mother's temperament is very impatient, is the kind of enthusiastic person who likes to gossip about the short in the family, and the parents can come together with such a moving and static character, which is not a good thing, and now their respective children, whether in character or in achievement, are also far apart, and then combine the new family, which makes her feel that although it seems to be harmonious, it is not harmonious.

Zeng Yu glanced at Han Mengyu, and she felt that this stepbrother was the biggest reason why she still couldn't fully integrate into the family. Many times, she felt that he didn't feel like he was twenty-seven years old, but like thirty-seven, and he was too calm and introverted. She can let go of her prejudices against her stepfather, but she can't get closer to her stepbrother.

Zeng Yu set up the dishes and chopsticks, Han's father's vegetables were fried, and Zeng's mother put the rice cooker liner wrapped in a towel directly on the table. Zeng Yu and Han Mengyu sat opposite Han's father and great-mother in their usual position. Han Mengyu sat on Zeng Yu's upper position, when Zeng Yu wanted to add rice, she couldn't reach the rice cooker, as soon as her hand was stretched, Han Mengyu knew what she was thinking, so she covered the rice cooker with a towel and brought it to her. She used to think that at this time, he was like a cannibalistic and humane family. But today, when she went to pick up the rice cooker liner, she almost knocked over the whole pot of rice, just because he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional - he swept the back of her hand with the knuckles of his fingers, and she overreacted and shook her hand, but fortunately he reacted very quickly to avoid the trouble of cooking another pot of rice.

Zeng's mother reprimanded her again, Zeng Yu felt that she had been at home for a long time, and her relationship with her mother was not handled well, and her mother always liked to nag her, not only nagging her shortcomings, but also constantly praising Han Mengyu in front of her.

Han Mengyu was admitted to the top two universities of political science and law in the country at the age of eighteen, graduated at the age of twenty-two, obtained the national judicial examination qualification certificate at the age of twenty-three, and was admitted to the Provincial High People's Court in that year, served as an assistant judge at the age of 24, and studied for graduate school on the job, and served as a judge at the age of 25. These things, Zeng's mother couldn't stop chattering about Zeng Yu, and sighed why there was such a big gap between Zeng Yu and Han Mengyu, so as to express her attitude of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him". Zeng's mother doesn't want to see her own children in her heart, but like ordinary mothers, when educating her children, she always likes to compare with a good child, but this is often counterproductive, and it just makes Zeng Yu and Han Mengyu more and more suspicious. Zeng Yu already felt that this brother was not easy to get close to, but now he felt that it was unattainable, and the interaction between the two became less and less. It is two parallel lines that live under the same roof, meet every day, eat at the same table, but do not communicate. Han Mengyu's personality, career, and achievements are all chasms for her. People say that there is a generation gap of three years, although Han Mengyu is only five years older than her, but she feels that they seem to have ten generation gaps, and Han Mengyu is the kind of person who is easier to get along with her parents. After graduating from college, although she did not hold a grudge against Han Mengyu as she did when she was a child, her relationship with him has always been indifferent, ostensibly two parallel lines living under the same roof, meeting every day, eating at the same table, but no communication. Han Mengyu's personality, career, and achievements are all chasms for her. People say that there is a generation gap of three years, although Han Mengyu is only five years older than her, but she feels that they seem to have ten generation gaps, and Han Mengyu is the kind of person who is easier to get along with her parents. After graduating from college, although she did not have a grudge against Han Mengyu as when she was a child, her relationship with him has always been indifferent, on the surface they call brothers and sisters like a family, in fact, she knows best in her heart that she and him are strangers who are more familiar at all.

Previously, Zeng Yu did not analyze the relationship between her and Han Mengyu so deeply. She is now the age when she loves to laugh and play, feels that her youth is infinitely good, and she is full of longing for the future, and she used to be either Han Mengyu studying in other places or she was studying in other places, and she came back to work after graduation, she went to them like a family and called brothers and sisters, in fact, she knew best in her heart that she and he were strangers who were more familiar with each other.

Previously, Zeng Yu did not analyze the relationship between her and Han Mengyu so deeply. She is now at the age when she loves to laugh and play, feels that her youth is infinitely good, and she is full of longing for the future, and she used to either study in Han Mengyu or she studied in other places, and after graduation, she came back to work, she suddenly felt that her relationship with this brother had been fixed and she couldn't get close. She doesn't know how many people's families look harmonious like hers, but in fact, under the surface of harmony, there is an alienation that has never been co-opted. She felt that the word "detached" was the most suitable way to describe her and Han Mengyu.

She always thought that Han Mengyu should have the same kind of cognition as herself, but she didn't expect that people's hearts were unpredictable, and now she couldn't figure out what he thought.

In addition to caring about Zeng Yu's performance in the unit, Zeng's mother will also care about whether there are young men in the unit who are the same age as Zeng Yu and are not married. When Zeng's mother mentioned this topic again at the dinner table, Zeng Yu suddenly felt that Han Mengyu beside him had an unprecedentedly strong sense of existence, and his answer suddenly became unspeakable, and his thoughts were chaotic. Zeng Yu muttered in a low voice, "Yes." ”

Zeng's mother's eyes lit up, and she asked how the person looked, what position, what the family conditions were, and whether it was interesting to Zeng Yu......

Zeng Yu glanced at Zeng's mother, and secretly glanced at Han Mengyu, and said very seriously: "He is very handsome, an ordinary clerk, and has a house and a car at home, he is not clear about what he means to me, but he is very clear about his girlfriend." ”

When Han's father heard this, he laughed, and his great-mother thought that her daughter was beating around the bush and making her happy in vain, so she glanced at her daughter. Han Mengyu chewed the rice with a calm expression, as if he was neither interested in the topic nor wanted to participate.

"Xiaoyu is still young now, very early. Besides, our Xiaoyu is well-behaved and sensible, and she will definitely not worry about finding a good family. Father Han said something to explain.

Zeng's mother glanced at Han's father again and said, "Girls can't drag it out, if it drags on for a day, it's not worth a day." ”

"Mom, do you want to marry me while you want to get back the capital to support me?" Zeng Yu held the bowl, held the chopsticks, and looked directly at Zeng's mother. Seeing that her daughter was resentful, Zeng Yu knocked on the chopsticks, Zeng Yu hurriedly dodged away, and listened to Zeng's mother say: "Saying that it is worth money or not, it is not that we can't sell it if we marry our daughter, but your status in the man's heart in the future, it is beneficial to get married early." ”

Zeng's mother was very distressed by her daughter's misunderstanding of herself, and babbled about the time of a meal. Zeng Yu felt that she was about to collapse from the chatter, and regretted that she had taken the topic in depth. Han's father listened to it with relish, and felt that his daughter had reached the point where she could marry, and he was very curious. Han Mengyu had been eating quietly, until Han's mother brought out the lines that had been brewing for a long time, saying that who was pulling the strings and finding a good young man for her, and she had agreed to arrange a blind date for the two, Han Mengyu put the chopsticks on the table and stood up.

Zeng Yu looked up at him, only to realize that the thin boy who was seventeen years old had grown so tall and burly at some point.

His abruptness made the whole family pause, but he didn't realize it at all, frowning, as if immersed in his own thoughts. Father Han asked aloud, "Are you full?" ”

Han Mengyu suddenly came back to his senses, and said that there was still something to do. Before leaving, he hurriedly glanced at Zeng Yu, who was staring at him, and frowned again.

Zeng Yu felt that her heart was about to jump out of her frightened by his abrupt actions, and after he left for a while, she was still worried that her parents would hear her strong heartbeat, and her face must have turned red, so she hurriedly lowered her head and picked up her food indiscriminately.

She almost thought he was going to say something, but thankfully, he didn't.

"Actually, I think my brother is older than me, so he should think about it before me."

When Zeng Yu told his parents like this, Zeng's mother changed the topic away from Zeng Yu, but Han's father was not in a hurry. Zeng's mother looked enthusiastic, and hurriedly asked Zeng Yu's unit if there were any girls suitable for Han Meng. Zeng Yu bit his chopsticks and thought for a while, there are several people of the right age, and among these people, the image and quality can match Han Mengyu, maybe Yiqi is okay.

Zeng's mother said: "My brother, you have to put more effort into it, look for it well, of course your family must think about your family!" If the colleague you said is really in good condition, you have to find a way to please her more and let her come to our house one day to play. ”

When Zeng's mother said this, Zeng Yu regretted it, regretting that she proposed such a thing in order to hide her thoughts, but now that the words have been spoken, she will cause trouble for herself.

Under Zeng's mother's repeated orders, Zeng Yu agreed to this matter. Zeng Yu felt that she was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and she didn't know how many times she complained about herself in her heart, blaming herself for talking too much for a while, but now she was forced to do it by Zeng's mother.

Zeng Yu weighed it again and again, and felt that it might be good to find an excellent girlfriend for Han Mengyu.

When he went to work in the afternoon, Zeng Yu secretly pulled Wang Yiqi to hide aside and whisper. Wang Yiqi is one year older than Zeng Yu, she has been working for two years, and she usually recruits people who are liked by leaders, but it is rare that she recruits both leaders and colleagues, which shows that she is usually very good at being a person. And her school is better than Zeng Yu's, her family background is also very good, her parents seem to be working in the county party committee or the municipal party committee, and the most important thing is that she is a flower in their unit, and she has no choice in appearance and figure. Zeng Yu often feels that people who can stand side by side with her need to have full confidence, standing beside her like herself, it is a small green leaf that makes her flower more beautiful and dusty.

Wang Yiqi obviously doesn't need others to introduce her to a blind date, the people chasing her have never stopped, Zeng Yu doesn't know. They often talk about who gave the roses on her desk, but when they usually gossip together, she always says that she has no boyfriend, and the people who send the flowers are not her lovers.

Wang Yiqi listened carefully to Zeng Yu's enthusiastic introduction and kept smiling. Zeng Yu looked at her unchanged smile, thinking that she must not be very interested in this, and she was not very familiar with her, so she took the liberty to tell her matchmaker, and she didn't know how to laugh at herself at this time.

"I have no problem, Xiaoyu, you are enthusiastic for me, I am very happy, no matter what the result is, it is quite good to have one more friend. Xiaoyu, you see when it is appropriate for me to meet your brother, you should inform me in advance so that I will not be rude. ”

Wang Yiqi's words came out, which made Zeng Yu, who originally felt that there was little hope, relax his mood, and knew in his heart that even if Wang Yiqi had no interest in this blind date, he still accepted it because he didn't want to refute her face. This was originally a thankless task in her opinion, but now it is half done, and the eight characters have a skimming. Therefore, it is not for nothing that Yiqi is so popular in the unit, she feels that if Han Mengyu misses such a good girl, it will definitely be a loss for Han Mengyu. That night, Zeng Yu ran home in a frenzy and reported to her mother and Han's father the progress of her first red thread, Zeng's mother was happy, and Han's father was also happy to listen to her praise for Wang Yiqi, but he had to dig out his heart and lungs to prove how good Wang Yiqi was.

At dinner in the evening, except for Han Mengyu, the family was calculating how to propose to Han Mengyu that he would go on a blind date the next day. Before, the family had discussed, with Han's father's understanding of his son, he felt that Han Mengyu might be very reluctant to such a thing, thinking that it would be easier for this matter to be raised by Zeng's mother, because Han Mengyu had never refuted Zeng's mother's face, but Han's father sometimes said things, when he felt that it was inappropriate, he would ignore it, but once Zeng's mother brought it up, he would rarely refuse directly.

Although Zeng Yu felt that she had done a good job in this matter, but in the next matter, she was very worried and nervous, and she was observing the expressions and emotions of everyone in the family all night, looking like a soldier.

Everyone was pulling at the dinner table first, Han Mengyu was eating intently as always, and when Zeng's mother officially proposed a blind date with Han Mengyu, Han Mengyu didn't react for a long time, and after reacting, his first action was to turn his head and look at Zeng Yu with a strange expression. Zeng Yu was so cold that his back was cold, he straightened up, swallowed the food in his mouth, and was at a loss when he bit the chopsticks.

Han Mengyu retracted his gaze at Zeng Yu, and turned to look at his father, and then at Zeng's mother, Zeng's mother told Han Mengyu how good Wang Yiqi was, as if he had seen it, saying that there was something in heaven and nothing on earth.

In the end, Zeng's mother was full of hope, carefully consulted Han Mengyu's opinion, and asked: "Tomorrow, Xiaoyu will call Miss Wang first and come to our house for a meal, you can take a look first, okay?" ”

Looking at Han Mengyu's unhappy face, Zeng Yu suddenly trembled. The whole family was waiting for him to respond, but his face made people wait more and more gloomy, Zeng Yu could already imagine that what he blurted out must be refusal, but unexpectedly, he nodded a little stiffly.

The low pressure blew away, and Zeng's mother continued to crackle and talk about how optimistic she was about this blind date. Zeng Yu put down the chopsticks that were about to be bitten off by himself, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and figured out the true thoughts in Han Mengyu's heart in his heart. She thinks that the blind date may not be very optimistic, it is obvious that Han Mengyu is reluctant, but he has accepted it after all, as long as he agrees, there is still hope. Before they met, no one knew what would happen, maybe the two would fall in love at first sight, after all, they were both excellent people. Zeng Yu continued to eat slowly, occasionally peeking at his side face, she didn't know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, although it was not her intention to match him and Wang Yiqi, but it was not ...... Isn't this also a mess for her!

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Zeng Yu feels that tomorrow's blind date between the two will have at least a 50% chance of success, I don't know why, Zeng Yu just thinks that Wang Yiqi is quite compatible with his temperament, and the appearance, talent, and connotation of the two are all incompatible. If the two of them stand together, it is called complementing each other? No, respect each other? Phew, it's even more wrong, anyway, that's what people say, the two of them look like husband and wife, very compatible, a match made in heaven!

came up with an apt adjective, Zeng Yu held chopsticks in his mouth, and unconsciously showed a smile like an aunt. Unexpectedly, he turned his head to one side, and looked at Han Mengyu staring at him with that strange eye, Zeng Yu restrained himself a little, snorting and picking up the rice, as soon as the bowl bottomed out, Zeng Yu threw the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed Bai Zeng's mother and said, "Whoever finishes eating lasts will wash the dishes." ”

After speaking, Zeng Yu ran upstairs to his room, chatting online and chasing dramas as if he was hiding from right and wrong.

Xiao Tangyuan complained about how her boyfriend was inconsiderate of her and didn't care about her, Zeng Yu laughed at their children who didn't know what real love was, they were all trying it, and they didn't have any economic foundation, so they became boyfriend and girlfriend, they were all pseudo-love, and the probability of success was too small.

Xiao Tangyuan is not satisfied with her sister's discouragement for her, the little girl always thinks that love is beautiful, and she can't tolerate anyone who has a bad judgment about it. After a few angry and indiscriminate expressions, she went offline. Zeng Yu looked at Ruhua who kept shooting on the screen with a machine gun, and smiled dumbly, she was two years older than her, but she felt that she had a generation gap with her. Maybe there is something wrong with her view of love, and her vision is too mature and too realistic compared to hers. And he is always educating her as an elder, and the two seem to be less and less able to talk together.

"Environment, environment." Zeng Yu sighed. With a family member like Han Mengyu, she can't be frivolous and naïve at all, she has to make herself look mature and steady at all times, so as not to be secretly teased by him. Today's move, after careful consideration afterwards, still felt that she was too rash. Every time she thought of his strange eyes, she felt that something was wrong. In fact, for yesterday's incident, she didn't know whether to think about it or not, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was an illusion that she was unconscious, today she was watching him everywhere, his attitude as usual, there was no hint of any explicit, thinking that she would blush when she looked at him, and he didn't even have a fluctuation in his eyes, no matter how restrained he was, he wouldn't really be calm to this point, right? It made her feel like she had a dream yesterday, and that everything came from her own weird fantasies.

Although Zeng Yu dragged him into the blind date incident with nonsense, things have developed to such a point that he has to be done. Zeng Yu took his mobile phone to call Wang Yiqi's phone, and asked Wang Yiqi to come to the house tomorrow to play on the phone, and before the phone was finished, Zeng Yu heard someone knocking on her door. Hung up the phone in a hurry, she pulled her crumpled clothes before opening the door, she guessed that her stepfather was looking for her, because her great-mother never knocked on her door, she always rushed in directly, and Han Mengyu almost never knocked on her door.

When Zeng Yu opened the door, he was a little surprised, and after the surprise, he was apprehensive. The tall Han Mengyu outside the door almost blocked the door of her room, Zeng Yu looked up at his face, and suddenly felt extremely oppressive, her heart was beating abnormally, she turned red for some reason, and involuntarily retreated, her eyes fell on his lips, and then she quietly swallowed her saliva and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Han Mengyu didn't say a word, and went directly into her boudoir, she felt inappropriate for a while, and put on another coat in addition to the pajamas with her arms exposed. Han Mengyu unceremoniously inspected Zeng Yu's room, the girl's room, there was always a fragrant fragrance, even if in his opinion, Zeng Yu's room was a little messy and sloppy, but it still exuded an obvious femininity. The bottles and cans on the dresser, the plush dolls piled up on the bed, and the small potted plants next to the computer were all very different from the furnishings of his room, and it seemed that it was the first time he had officially entered her room like this, and it was also the first time he had looked at her room so calmly.

Silence.

At this time, Huo Hua is downstairs preparing his love.
