This old lady who lives alone lives in this house is a grandmother who Xia Kites has known for several years.

The two met by chance. Probably three or four years ago, a few months after Grandma Xia's death, Xia Butterfly had just come out of the haze, and it happened to be her undergraduate graduation, and she also wanted to change the environment, so she went to the European Institute of Higher Education for a year at the recommendation of the professors of the college.

As a result, on the weekend when she arrived, she met an old lady on the street who had been separated from her peers, who did not speak the language, and who was deliberately shouted "Chinaman" by several young people because she asked for directions. The old man obviously did not know that this sentence was a word with strong racist malice, but he also felt the ridicule and arrogance of the other party, and he was so angry that he could not refute it.

That's when the summer kites stood up.

At that time, not long after Grandma Xia's death, Xia Kites originally saw an old lady of the same age as her, and she was a little touched by the scene, but it was still a scene of humiliation of her compatriots, she stopped in front of the old lady without any hesitation, indifferently fought back at the other party, and then escorted the old man to leave at the first time.

Xia Kitese helped the old lady contact the person who accompanied her on the trip, and while she waited, she had dinner with the old lady and left contact information for each other. Later, when she was abroad, she would occasionally accompany the old lady to go out for walks, visit local museums, and interpret for her.

At that time, Xia Butterfly empathized with the old man a lot of guilt and ties to Grandma Xia, the old man's only son worked abroad and seemed to be very busy, and she had no time to accompany her, and she also regarded Xia Butterfly as a granddaughter.

Later, Xia Kites returned to China, and the two could only talk on the phone occasionally, and Xia Kites was very sad for a while.

As a result, last year, the old lady actually returned to China and settled down, and her residence was in Beicheng, in the same urban area as Xia Yuandie's work residence.

For more than a year, Xia Butterfly came to visit the old lady Zang for a while.

"Could this kid who came with you the same one you mentioned earlier?"

In the kitchen, Xia Butterfly accompanied the old lady to wash the fruit she brought, and just put the apple into the fruit bowl when she heard this.

Xia Kites was stunned, and reluctantly took the plate from the other party's hand: "What do you say, this little kid is only eighteen this year, and he is less than nineteen." ”

The old lady was serious: "The third female college is holding gold bricks." ”

"Then I'll have to hold the gold mountain - it's not even that person, don't mess with the mandarin duck score."

"Okay, if you say no, then it's really no fun." The old lady clapped her hands regretfully, "I have to see my grandson get married, and then see what kind of good young man you have been thinking about for many years and your boyfriend will not be." ”

Xia Kitese was said to be weak-hearted, and she used more effort to scrub the apples in her hands: "I'm busy, how can I say what you said." ”

"You're busy, but you don't have any thoughts on it, don't think I can't see it......"

Xia Irisdie was afraid of this thought, and while holding the fruit plate with one hand, she slowly pushed the old man out slowly: "Okay, let's go to the living room to eat fruit, and wait for me to show you how to peel apples, I have practiced several times, and I keep a peel." ”

The old man smiled and let her push it out.

Li Xin was sitting in the living room with some restraint.

Most teenagers of this age don't have much patience and experience in getting along with the elderly, and he's the same, but fortunately, he can still pick up and coax people, and he can also chat with the old lady with Xia Kitdie.

Approaching four o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Kites's mobile phone vibrated twice.

After she entered the door, the mobile phone was placed on the coffee table, a little closer to Li Xin's side, and Li Xin took it to her and glanced at it halfway.

Then he asked casually.

"'You Lie'? Sister, is it your boss again? ”

“——”

Xia Kitedie's hand shook, and the knife cut off a long strip of peel-

The show was halfway through.

“… Yes," Xia Butterfly frowned slightly, and her face straightened, "Give it to me, don't look at my sister's phone casually." ”

The puppy looked at her aggrievedly, didn't say anything, and handed it over.

Xia Kites, who was holding her weak heart, wiped her hands and lowered her head to open her mobile phone.

[You Lie]: What time does it end? I'll pick you up.

Xia Kitedie's eyelids jumped, and she immediately wanted to go back to the past and say "no".

As a result, she didn't finish typing, and You Lie seemed to have a prediction.

[You Lie]: Where is the boyfriend's responsibility.

Summer Kite: "......"

He's really .

I didn't give her a second option.

Xia Yuandie had no choice but to hesitate a little, but she still typed in the address of the community and the building number and unit number in the information page word by word on the information page and sent them to him.

[You Lie]: Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs.

Xia Kitese wanted to explain to him why she was in a residential building with Li Xin, but You Lie didn't ask, and returned quickly.

Instead, she was too embarrassed to mention it alone.

Because it's really like a girlfriend who is reporting to her boyfriend and explaining her whereabouts......

Thinking of this, Xia Iris's cheeks were slightly burned, and she immediately put her phone back to her side with a wooden face.

Then as soon as he looked up, he bumped into the old lady's meaningful expression.

"Boss?" Zang Meizhi smiled kindly, "How can there be a boss who is still looking for someone on Sunday?" ”

"The nature of my job is different." The summer kite butterfly wants to bring it over.

Didn't work out.

Zang Meizhi also patted the back of her hand with a smile, "Then what is your boss looking for you this weekend night?" ”

"There's a material, he asked me to get it." Xia Kitedie lied so much.

"Oh, he's coming to you."

"Hmmm......"

Xia Iris couldn't bear the old lady's lie detector-like eyes, so she quickly got up and went to her bag to get the wallet: "Li Xin, I told you during the day, I still have something to do at night, you or find a friend to eat......

Before the money was handed out, I saw Li Xin sitting on the sofa with his eyelids drooping.

"I don't want your money."

Xia Butterfly was stunned.

However, when he saw that the puppy had already gotten up sullenly, he took a few steps out and remembered it, turned around and bowed to Zang Meizhi: "Goodbye, grandma." ”

Xia Kite: "?? ”

After saying that, as if he didn't see his sister still holding the money, he changed his shoes and left.

Xia Butterfly inexplicably put the money back in her wallet, and was still a little uneasy, so she turned her head and asked Grandma Zang: "You said that nothing will happen to him alone, right?" ”

Zang Meizhi smiled as if watching a play: "If there is something, it is also a matter of the heart." Eighteen, when I was restless. ”

Hearing a bit of meaning, Xia Kite was stunned.

This was said from Zang Meizhi's purely bystander perspective, which surprised her even more than You Lie mentioned, and was almost a little unacceptable: "But he, I have watched him grow up since he was a teenager. ”

"That's no way, who called us little kites beautiful and kind-hearted, and they were likable?"

Grandma Zang was originally from Beicheng, and although she had lived abroad for several years and basically didn't speak Beicheng dialect anymore, her pronunciation was still very heavy, and every time she called Xia Iris "Little Kites," she was extremely embarrassed.

This time, I was a little shocked.

Zang Meizhi patted the edge of the table: "It's useless if you think about it, don't mention this stubble." When will your boss come and pick you up and let him go upstairs, I have to see what the big boss who has to squeeze his employees on this big weekend looks like? ”

"Grandma Zang...!"

Xia Butterfly was immediately brought back to her senses, her cheeks were slightly red, "Don't tease me." ”

"That's not good, I have to take a look today," Zang Meizhi made a flat face, "And you think, you brought your brother up, how can you not ask your boss to come up and sit on the weekend?" ”

“……”

Xia Butterfly was a little weak-hearted.

Of course, it is because, the younger brother is really the younger brother, but the boss is not really the boss.

Asking You Lie to come up to meet Mrs. Zang will make her feel strange, like meeting her parents, subtle and embarrassing.

However, I can't bear Zang Meizhi's power.

In the end, Xia Yuandie still sent a message to You Lie, and even told him the house number.

At the end, he added.

[Butterfly]: This grandmother said that you are not allowed to bring gifts, otherwise you will be driven out.

When You Lie received the message, the new car, which had not yet adapted to it, had just driven into the old community. The house number information that popped up surprised him, and he even felt lighter.

When I originally received the address, You Lie was at the depot.

In the morning, he was looking for someone who was in the car business in a second-generation circle, and he picked up the car quickly, and it was called ready-to-use. While accompanying him to choose a car, the other party probed him casually, trying to set up the inside story of "what kind of car is the founder of Helena Technology, who is valued at 10 billion yuan, has a brain convulsion to choose a broken car".

Then I saw You Lie's finger bones against his mobile phone, looking at a certain message solemnly and seriously, but his eyes sank slightly.

That person can blend into You Lie's circle of friends, at least he has a very high ability and emotional intelligence, and he will take advantage of one thing, so he immediately shut up, and didn't say a word of nonsense in the whole process.

The address is a residential building, and You Lie naturally minds.

He thought that this was another life trajectory shared by Xia Kitese and Li Xin, whether it was relatives or friends, it would make him feel alienated by the seven-year gap.

But now Xia Butterfly told him that he could go up.

A certain door in her seven years of life was willing to open to him and allow him to enter.

You Lie suddenly regretted that he couldn't put two wings next to the car, and flew through the narrow and sad passage full of cars in the old community.

Finally got out of the car, You Lie replied to Xia Yuandie with a message that she was going upstairs, and walked towards the unit door.

Just turned into the unit door.

You Lie's figure stopped.

The young man named Li Xin was standing in the corridor on the first floor at the moment. Seeing You Lie coming in, a hint of "sure enough" emotion crossed his face.

"My sister said, you're just her boss?" The boy pretended to be indifferent, but his voice was still a youthful bluff.

You Lie was accustomed to seeing the cunning old fritters, and when he saw such a teenager who couldn't even hide his true emotions, he only felt that he was so immature and funny.

What's even funnier is that even at this moment, he is still jealous of the existence of such a teenager by Xia Kites's side.

…… I still laugh at others, but I am not naïve.

You Lie sighed in his heart, and stepped on the stairs indifferently: "What is the relationship between her and me, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Li Xin was stalked by him, and was a little angry: "Do you know how long I have known her and what the relationship is?" ”
