Chongwenmen is very lively at night, and summer is the most restless season for young people, and no one will watch TV with an electric fan at home.

Catching up with fashion and trends is what young people are most enthusiastic about, and whether it is a disco or a bar, there will always be a large circle of people.

Chen Li'an sat in the car and looked at the young people singing and shouting about youth on the side of the road, and always felt that he was old, and even sat in the back seat of the car.

If you tuck a white shirt into trousers, black leather shoes with a pair of blue nylon socks, and tie a crocodile belt around your waist, Chen Li'an is no different from the old cadres.

"Dabai, do you think I'm old?" Chen Li'an retracted his gaze and looked out of the car, and suddenly asked.

Li Dabai was stunned for a moment and said: "Not old, if you are old, you will not let people live." ”

Chen Li'an asked explainingly: "I mean mentality, do you think my mentality is old?" ”

Li Dabai glanced at Chen Li'an through the rearview mirror, and didn't know how to answer for a while, if you don't honestly find someone to fall in love and get married, you know that you are playing blindly all day long!

It's either art or filming, and then it's pickling girls! Girls! Girls!

I've never seen a young man like you!

Seeing that Li Dabai didn't answer, Chen Li'an shook his head and said happily: "I feel that I am old, and I will not be wild on the street." ”

Li Dabai glanced at the young people outside the car window who were singing and drinking on the street with nowhere to release their energy, and couldn't help but say: "Teacher Chen, if they have so many women like you. Good friends, they don't have the energy or time to go wild on the streets. ”

Chen Li'an coughed embarrassedly, what he said was so reasonable, and there was no way to refute it.

There was an awkward silence in the car, Li Dabai quietly stuck out his tongue, sped up the speed of the car, and soon arrived at the door of Maxim.

After Li Dabai parked the car, he turned back to Chen Li'an and said, "Teacher Chen, it seems that Maxim has a band performing tonight, do you want to go to Xinqiao opposite?" ”

Chen Li'an turned his head to take a look, rolled down the window and listened to the music coming from inside, feeling that Maxim was indeed inappropriate tonight.

"Wait until she comes, you can order your own table later, but don't drink."

Li Dabai let out a sullen sigh, and suddenly found that one of the major disadvantages of being Chen Li'an's assistant was to often watch him date other women!

After being silent in the car for a while, Li Dabai suddenly spoke: "Teacher Chen, you promised Sister Bai Qing to go back at night, don't forget." ”

"Got it."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and he had already seen that in a taxi in front of him, Liu Xiaoli got out of the car with a little girl.

took his daughter out on a date, Chen Li'an didn't understand what Liu Xiaoli was thinking, but Liu Xiaoli was dressed very exquisitely today, and it seemed that she had put a lot of thought into it.

When Liu Xiaoli pulled her daughter over, there was a sense of déjà vu with a baby on a blind date.

"Long time no see." Liu Xiaoli walked over and said with a smile, and lowered her head to her daughter and said, "Sissi, call uncle." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Chen Li'an's eyes, and he looked at the seven or eight-year-old girl, showed a kind smile and said, "Your daughter is very cute." ”

Qian Qian looked up at Chen Li'an, her big eyes flickered, and she shouted timidly, "Hello, uncle." ”

"Hello." Chen Li'an bent down and said hello to Sissi.

Li Dabai, who was sitting in the car behind, covered his mouth and snickered when he saw this scene, and couldn't help muttering: "Haha, Mr. Chen is probably stupid." ”

Chen Li'an was indeed a little confused, standing up straight and looking at Liu Xiaoli, not understanding what it meant that she came out with her daughter.

Liu Xiaoli saw the doubt in Chen Li'an's eyes and said: "I'm divorced, my daughter is with me, I can't leave her alone in the hotel, so I came with me, you won't. Mind that, right? ”

Listening to the last pause in Liu Xiaoli's words, Chen Li'an almost understood, so he said with a smile: "Don't mind, Sissi is so cute and very likable." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Liu Xiaoli's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and she looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Do you like children?" ”

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Sissi is so cute, no one will not like it." ”

Li Dabai, who was sitting in the car, couldn't see Chen Li'an's expression, and immediately unbuckled the seat belt and pulled out the key and got out of the car, she was so curious about Chen Li'an's reaction now, and admired Liu Xiaoli's operation.

How can anyone come out with a child on the first date, this is to scare away Teacher Chen? Or is it deliberately testing Teacher Chen?

Li Dabai closed the car door and ran to Chen Li'an, glanced at Chen Li'an's expression curiously, and found that his expression was very calm, and he was inexplicably disappointed.

I really want to see Mr. Chen's deflated appearance

However, Li Dabai has not forgotten his identity, so he immediately said to Teacher Chen: "Teacher Chen, I will go to Xinqiao to book a place first, is the private room or in the hall?" ”

Chen Li'an glanced at Li Dabai, and then said to Liu Xiaoli: "I originally wanted to go to Maxim, but there is a band there tonight, which is noisy, so can I change to Xinqiao?" ”

Liu Xiaoli also heard the energetic music coming from Maxim, so she smiled and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Sissi doesn't like to be too noisy." ”

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Li Dabai and said, "Go and book a private room, if there is no place, ask their manager to transfer one out." ”

Li Dabai nodded immediately, and before leaving, he glanced at the little girl in the princess dress, who was not as good-looking as her mother, and it was estimated that her father's appearance was not good.

"We'll go over when Dabai has booked a place, and if there is no place, we will go to the Jianguo Hotel."

Liu Xiaoli took her daughter's hand and nodded lightly: "Well, you decide, we can all do it." ”

Chen Li'an smiled, bent down to look at Sissi and asked, "Does Sissi like Western food?" What do you want to eat? ”

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Qian Qian raised her head and glanced at Liu Xiaoli, looked at her mother's encouraging eyes, and then whispered to Chen Li'an: "I like it." ”

Chen Li'an smiled, couldn't help but rub her little brain, stood up and said to Liu Xiaoli: "Siqian is a little scared. ”

"I'll be happy when you get acquainted with it later." Liu Xiaoli said meaningfully.

Chen Li'an nodded and smiled without saying anything, feeling that Liu Xiaoli really came on a blind date with a baby, as if she was rushing to formally establish a relationship.

Two minutes later, after Li Dabai booked a place and came over to inform Chen Li'an, he ran to Maxim opposite with great interest.

Chen Li'an was a little uneasy and advised: "Don't drink!" I want you to drive at night! ”

"Got it, Mr. Chen!" Li Dabai waved his hand and ran in.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but shake his head, looked at the thoughtful Liu Xiaoli and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Liu Xiaoli took her daughter's hand and followed behind Chen Li'an, pretending to be curious and asked, "You and Da Bai are more friends than superiors and subordinates." ”

Chen Li'an glanced at Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'm a friend, and I'm not a big person, so there's no need to be serious." ”

Liu Xiaoli: "Artists, they are more casual and understanding. ”

Soon the two arrived in the private room, and after ordering the meal, Chen Li'an asked, "What are your plans to come to the capital this time?" Still want to dance? Or is there something else going on? ”

Liu Xiaoli raised her head and looked at Chen Li'an without answering his question, but asked very seriously: "What suggestions do you have?" ”

This question stumped Chen Li'an, how did he know what Liu Xiaoli thought, whether she wanted to dance or go abroad, or whether she wanted to raise her daughter well.

There was silence in the private room, except for Sissi sitting on a chair and curiously turning the cup in her hand to make a crisp tinkling sound.

After a pause, Chen Li'an took a sip of aperitif and said: "I don't have any special suggestions, it mainly depends on what you think, if you need me to do anything, just ask, you are all friends, you are welcome." ”

"Friends." Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an and muttered, a feeling of disappointment rose in her heart, then she sat up slightly straight, and said to Chen Li'an: "Thank you, but there shouldn't be anything you need help with." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaoli regretted it a little, she seemed to be a little anxious, what else could she and Chen Li'an be if they weren't friends now? I was a little anxious to force others to make a statement.

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Qianqian who was spinning the cup on the side and said to Liu Xiaoli: "It's okay, but it's not easy for you to take care of the child alone, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me." ”

Hearing that Chen Li'an took the topic back again, Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, for fear that Chen Li'an would be young and vigorous, and she would ignore herself in anger.

However, she just said that she didn't need help, and now she feels a little on the pole when she changes her words, so she glanced at her daughter and said to her gently: "Sissi, thank you uncle for your mother." ”

Qian Qian looked at Liu Xiaoli and didn't know what she wanted to thank, but she still obediently smiled sweetly at Chen Li'an and said, "Thank you, uncle." ”

After the atmosphere eased, Liu Xiaoli didn't have the intention of being in a hurry to be tempted, she was indeed a little too anxious, but tonight was not without gains, at least it could be seen that Chen Li'an had no resistance to her with a child.

During the meal, he also made a few jokes with Sissi, which made Sissi giggle non-stop.

Even when Sissi wanted to eat ice cream after eating, Chen Li'an took her to pick out various flavors of ice cream, just like taking her own child.

After a meal, Sissi also liked this good-looking uncle, and kept sticking to Chen Li'an and hugging her.

Liu Xiaoli looked at this scene, just like looking at the father and daughter, and a strange happiness rose in her heart.

When they came out of Xinqiao, the two did not immediately go back to their respective homes, but walked together near Chongwenmen, and the unlucky Li Dabai drove a car far behind.

Sissi took Chen Li'an's hand and followed him obediently, but after walking a few steps, she was a little sleepy, and she grabbed Chen Li'an's hand to hug him.

Chen Li'an looked at the stunned Qianqian, bent down and picked her up, let her head rest on his shoulder, gently patted her back and said, "Qianqian sleep, when you wake up, you will be home." ”

Chen Li'an is also a theoretical powerhouse who has read the parenting manual, and he still knows how to coax children to sleep.

Sissi half-squinted her eyes and muttered in Chen Li'an's ear, "Thank you, uncle." ”

Liu Xiaoli watched from the side, her smiling eyes turned into crescents, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Are you tired of holding it, or go back now." ”

"It's okay, Sissi is not heavy." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Li'an seemed to like children very much, Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to like children so much, have you ever thought about what your children will be like in the future?" ”

Chen Li'an thought of his unborn daughter, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I've thought about it, but I'm not sure if I can be a good father." ”

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an hugging Qianqian, gently patting her on the back and coaxing her to sleep, and said affirmatively: "You will be a good father." ”

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "Hopefully." ”

Li Dabai, who was following behind, looked at Chen Li'an holding the child and walking side by side with Liu Xiaoli, and was inexplicably a little angry, it shouldn't be said that he was jealous.

How can you make it like a family of three, it's really infuriating! Could it be that divorced with a baby is so attractive to Mr. Chen?!

"Teacher Chen is really a pervert." Li Dabai couldn't help but break his thoughts, and really wanted to press the horn hard to scare him.

After Chen Li'an and Liu Xiaoli walked for a while, when they were at the mouth of an alley, Liu Xiaoli deliberately stopped and took out her handkerchief and said to Chen Li'an: "I'm tired of walking, I'm sweating, don't move, I'll help you wipe it." ”

Perspire? Chen Li'an didn't feel it at all, but looking at Liu Xiaoli who took the initiative to come over, he didn't squeak but just hummed, letting her wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead.

"This family of three is so happy." A few aunts and uncles sitting under the locust tree at the mouth of the alley couldn't help but sigh.

The corners of Liu Xiaoli's mouth hooked up with a smile when she heard this, and her movements to wipe Chen Li'an's sweat were slower and gentler.

Chen Li'an looked at the smile on Liu Xiaoli's face, and knew very well that this was the warm atmosphere she deliberately created, coupled with the praise and envy of passers-by, he would imperceptibly accept the setting of a family of three.

It's just that Liu Xiaoli's careful thinking was seen through in the eyes of Chen Li'an, the sea king, but sometimes this kind of little trick is like a conspiracy, you know it's a trap, but you will still be immersed in this happy atmosphere.

After all, reason and emotion are not one-way lines, they are two-way parallel.

After Liu Xiaoli wiped Chen Li'an's sweat, she looked at him and said with a smile: "If you hold two children in the future, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold them." ”

Under the warm yellow light, a touch of blush appeared on Liu Xiaoli's good-looking face, and it was gentle like a cool breeze on a summer evening in the fragrance of the locust tree.

Chen Li'an didn't know what Liu Xiaoli meant by the two children, it was a temptation or a promise and hint.

But at this time, he didn't want to think so much, holding Qianqian with one hand and reaching out to hug Liu Xiaoli's waist with the other, he deliberately joked: "Even if I add another you, I can also hug it." ”

Chen Li'an's sudden initiative and joke made Liu Xiaoli a little flustered, and she forgot to observe Chen Li'an's expression, but she quickly reacted, slapped Chen Li'an's hand lightly and said: "You men just say it nicely, I'm afraid you won't want to hug any of them at that time." ”

Chen Li'an let go of Liu Xiaoli and said, "I'm not a person who can only pay lip service. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, walked along the road for a while, and then prepared to go back.

After getting in the car, Liu Xiaoli wanted to hug Qian Qian down, but Qian Qian hugged Chen Li'an's neck, rubbed her little face on his shoulder several times, and said in a daze: "I want my father to hug me"

Sissi's words suddenly made the three adults in the car stop the movements in their hands, and Liu Xiaoli was the first to react and said embarrassedly: "Sissi hasn't seen her father for a long time." ”

Chen Li'an hugged Sissi and said, "It's okay, the child is in a daze, and he is not tired of holding it." ”

Li Dabai, who was in the driver's seat, looked at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, and snorted in his heart, wondering if Liu Xiaoli deliberately taught children to say this.

After the car started, Chen Li'an hugged Qian Qian and turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoli and asked, "How long are you going to stay in the capital this time?" Sissi isn't summer vacation yet. ”

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said: "I haven't had a summer vacation yet, but I don't want to stay in Wuhan anymore, so I asked for leave for Sissi in advance, and I was going to take her out to have a fun and relax, as for the future." ”

Liu Xiaoli was in such a hurry to leave Wuhan with her children because she couldn't stand her ex-mother-in-law, otherwise she would definitely wait until after the summer vacation.

After saying this, Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an and hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you been busy lately?" Ever thought about going out for a walk? ”

"Teacher Chen is very busy, and the rest of the schedule is full."

Before Chen Li'an could reply, Li Dabai spoke first, she was worried that Chen Li'an would be bewitched and put aside her business to go out with them.

Naturally, it is not so difficult to be bewitched, Chen Li'an is not so confused, looked at Liu Xiaoli and said: "The back is indeed busy, I have to go to Yangcheng to talk about a business, I have to go to Xiangjiang to run a movie promotion, and I have to go to the United States to hold an exhibition next month, there are a lot of messy things." ”

Hearing that Chen Li'an was so busy, Liu Xiaoli flashed a trace of disappointment in her heart, and she still thought that she could take this opportunity to completely take down Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an looked at Liu Xiaoli and said: "But I suggest that before you go out to play, stabilize your life first, where to live, what to do, Qianqian will go to school in the future, how to deal with it, a bunch of troubles." ”

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's serious appearance, and still threw the previous question to him.

"What do you suggest? I'm a little lost right now."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and said, "If you haven't thought about it, you can settle down in the capital first, and I'll arrange it for you." ”

Listening to Chen Li'an's words, Li Dabai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really moving, is he ready to raise it? Or just play and forget it?

Li Dabai always felt that Liu Xiaoli, who was divorced with a baby, was not worthy of Chen Li'an, and she had no advantages except for being good-looking.

The street lamp quickly pushed back on the side of the road and flashed quickly on Chen Li'an's face, flickering so that Liu Xiaoli couldn't see through his true thoughts.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Okay, then I'm sorry for you." ”

"No trouble, I'll be happy to help."
