Do you believe this? How many times have I been invited, and I am finally willing to show up. Qi Liancheng pursed his lips with a little dissatisfaction.

"You can't say that, you're being biased." The housekeeper laughed dryly and comforted: "When you were sick, didn't the young master also care about you?" I have been coming back to see you for several days, and even the family doctor is carefully selected by the young master. ”

"He's afraid of falling into his mouth! I'm not Gu Shumo, how could he really care about me? Qi Liancheng sneered, put his hand close to the stove to bake, and raised his eyes to look at the housekeeper: "Just say it, isn't this the reason?" ”

This is called how the butler answers, and no matter how he answers, it seems to be wrong.

The housekeeper smiled dryly and said Grandpa, if you want to eat something, I'll go get it for you.

Qi Liancheng pondered for a moment and said, "Take some mille-feuille cakes, the kind sprinkled with osmanthus flowers." ”

It's hard and awkward to say.

The housekeeper immediately smiled and said, "Got it, I'll go and prepare now." ”

When Qi Yuli arrived, Qi Liancheng was enjoying the snow and drinking tea while eating osmanthus cake.

He glanced at Qi Yuli and said lightly, "Sit down." ”

The fire was hot, and the light of the fire fell on the man's flawless and warm face, which was beautiful.

Qi Liancheng glanced at Qi Yuli and smiled: "You look at it like this, you still look quite similar to your father's kid." ”

Qi Yuli's eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Qi Liancheng sitting on the Eight Immortals chair through the small pear blossom wooden table and the stove, "Are you looking for me to celebrate the sacrifice of your father and mother for a while?" I may not have the time to be there, but I will do whatever you need. ”

"I can handle this matter myself, I don't expect you to handle it, I just think that you will come by then! You can rest assured, my own son and daughter-in-law, I am still dedicated. ”

Qi Liancheng frowned, and looked at Qi Yuli with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you talking to me so businesslike, for so many years, I haven't seen you look like a child in front of me!" ”

"It's my fault." Qi Yuli's gentle voice made Qi Liancheng touch a soft nail.

Qi Liancheng felt that the mille-feuille cake in his mouth suddenly became very tasteless.

He pushed the mille-feuille cake on the table in front of Qi Yuli, and said coldly: "Eat something and then talk, I can't finish this pastry alone." ”

Qi Yuli glanced at the neatly stacked mille-feuille cakes, didn't say anything, and tasted a piece.

Qi Liancheng's eyes were more satisfied, and his voice softened: "Let me ask you, why didn't you come to your parents' sacrifice days all these years?" ”

Qi Yuli quietly ate another piece of osmanthus cake, and his voice was indifferent: "It's nothing, I'm too busy to pull away." ”

"Who are you fooling with this!" Qi Liancheng is a little rubbing the fire, Qi Yuli's appearance of not getting oil and salt in, is really out of the same mold as his father!

Qi Liancheng said coldly: "I don't care, you are about to start a family now, you will have your own snacks, I will have someone pick you up in a few days, you must come over to participate!" ”

Qi Yuli took a sip of tea, his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "What do you mean by embarrassing me like this?" ”

"You're the one who is embarrassing me!" Qi Liancheng's face turned white, and he coughed vigorously a few times: "If you are like this, your parents will not be blind in the spirit of the sky!" ”

"Your words are a bit heavy," Qi Yuli looked at Qi Liancheng, as if he was an outsider, and calmly analyzed: "No matter how unbearable I am, in the final analysis, it is also the flesh and blood of my parents, as long as I live safely, they should be very happy in the spirit of heaven." ”

"You just deliberately disobeyed me!" Qi Liancheng saw it, his eyes widened, and he nodded and said, "Qi Yuli, are you just complaining that I sent you to the Gu family?" Right? But you don't want to think about it, if you didn't go to the Gu family, how could you sit on the head of the Qi and Gu families! ”

Qi Yuli saw that Qi Liancheng's face began to turn red, and he was very angry with himself.

He retracted his gaze and said softly: "I wanted to worship my parents when I was a child, but you said that since I have been taken in by the Gu family, I don't need to come back to worship." After all these years, I finally accepted this result, and now you want me to go again, grandpa, are you a little too inconsiderate of me? It's all flesh and blood, and they can't stand such ups and downs. ”

There was nothing to say for a while, and the raging wind and snow poured in, and the so-called warmth was blown away.

Qi Liancheng looked at Qi Yuli with complicated eyes, "How did Gu Shumo teach you like this?" Qi Yuli, how can you be so cold-blooded? But your parents, you and I are so angry that we won't even go to their worship? ”

"No one stipulates that worship must be a death day, I don't want to go now I just don't want to go, as for usual, if I have time, I have always been going." Qi Yuli finished speaking lightly, got up, and said, "Grandpa, you rest early, next time you look for me, please don't say that you are not feeling well, you are old, and some words are better to taboo." ”

Qi Lian was angry, and there was an indescribable grievance that raged in his chest.

His breathing gradually became heavier, and he looked at Qi Yuli coldly, without saying a word.

The moment Qi Yuli stepped out of the front hall to enjoy the snow, he heard the sound of dishes breaking.

It's just a pause.

Some old memories suddenly came to mind.

It's about the old self.

It was a week after the death of his parents, and his childhood self lay on Gu Shumo's lap, crying and saying, "Grandpa, why. Why didn't Grandpa let me go to Mom and Dad's funeral? ”‘

Gu Shumo's expression was also very embarrassed, looking at the pitiful child crying on his lap, he sighed: "Yuli, it doesn't matter if you go or not, Mom and Dad know in heaven that you are doing well, that's enough." ”

"But." Qi Yuli blinked, a soft and cute little bun face, long and dense eyelashes, eyes stained with moisture, like grapes, more beautiful than a girl, he said: "Grandpa. But I miss Mom and Dad, and I want to see them. ”

Gu Shumo's eyes were also red, he picked him up, took the photo from the housekeeper's hand, unfolded it, and flipped it to him: "Yuli, look, this is a photo taken by Mom and Dad before, Grandpa has a lot of photos here, if Yuli misses Mom and Dad, just look at the photo, okay?" ”

The little child shrugged his shoulders from crying, sat in Gu Shumo's arms, sniffed and looked at the photo.

Later, Qi Liancheng did not let go, and never let the Gu family's people appear on the sacrifice day. Among them, of course, Qi Yuli, who has been adopted by Gu Shumo, is also included.

In the first few years, Qi Yuli would still make trouble, and he would also pester Gu Shumo to ask why he couldn't go.
