Qi Yuan pursed his lips, "People care about you." ”

"If you care about it, the cost of living will be reduced by two hundred."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it."

After dinner, Qi Xia continued to prepare the defense PPT, and Qi Yuan went downstairs for a walk alone. At this time, the mobile phone suddenly kept ringing, and Qi Xia thought that there was something urgent at work, so she opened it in horror and found that she had been pulled into a group.

The group name is "Gourd Baby and Their Grandfather", it is really too second, Qi Xia clicked in, and saw a lot of acquaintances at once.

After graduating from high school, the class Q/Q group remained, and now there are still people bubbling from time to time, but no one has built a WeChat group, and now, Wei Yupeng suddenly pulled everyone in.

Xu Youfei: [What's the situation? 】

He Xiao also posted an emoji: [What's the situation? 】

Wei Yupeng explained: [Who are the people in Beijing? Lao Hu retired in July this year, and I want to have a class reunion and call Lao Hu to meet him. 】

This is the first class reunion after graduating from high school, and most of the high school classmates are developing in Beijing, so it is natural to respond.

Zhu Qingqing: [I can. 】

Sun Xiaojie: [I can. 】

……

There was a series of formations in the group, and Wei Yupeng proposed: [Maybe how about the Qingming holiday? 】

He Xiao: [Are you okay, Qingming has a class reunion? ] Do you want to go to the underworld to be reincarnated together? 】

Wei Yupeng sent a nostril-picking emoji, [I just think that everyone in Qingming is on vacation and free. 】

He Xiao: [Saturdays and Sundays are also fine. 】

Wei Yupeng: [@所有人, April 3, what do you think? 】

Zhu Qingqing: [OK.] 】

Sun Xiaojie: [OK. 】

Chu Yang: [OK. 】

……

Qi Xia thought about it, he happened to have nothing to do that day, and he also replied with a message: [OK. 】

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yupeng took a look at the ephemeris alone.

Wei Yupeng: [Brother Fan, are you coming? It's not interesting enough to come. 】

The messages in the group were swiped quickly, and Qi Xia never saw Chen Xifan's reply, maybe he was busy. After that, Qi Xia set the mobile phone to silent and put it on the table, concentrating on writing PPT.

On the other side, Qi Yuan went downstairs and saw a car with double flashes parked on the side of the road, the familiar black DBX.

Immediately afterward, Chen Xifan pushed the car door and walked down, carrying a paper bag in his hand.

Recently, the weather in Beijing has warmed up, and people have taken off their heavy winter clothes. Chen Xifan wore a black jacket, and the wind brought up the corners of the clothes. He stood on the side of the road, one leg upright, the other slightly bent, looking down at his phone.

Under the dim street lamp, that overly good-looking face attracted the sideways glances of passers-by. Two girls next to him stepped forward to talk to him, Chen Xifan shook his head coldly, and the two girls walked away disappointed.

Qi Xia's phone has not been answered, Chen Xifan looked up and unexpectedly saw Qi Yuan.

He said in a flat tone and asked, "What about your sister?" Why don't you answer the phone. ”

"Oh, my sister is at work, maybe I didn't hear me, I'll help you go upstairs and call her?"

"No, you don't." Chen Xifan was just passing by tonight, and was about to return to the airline company to participate in an emergency training, he handed the paper bag to Qi Yuan, "Help me bring it to your sister." ”

It's still a Mans dessert.

Qi Yuan took it, frowned, and found that the matter was not simple.

She cleared her throat, "Ahem—I'm asking you a question, you...... Do you want to be my brother-in-law? ”

Chen Xifan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Do you know? ”

Chapter 53

Chapter 54

One day in late March, Qi Xia received a call from Qi Lanjing.

When Qi Xia was a sophomore, Qi Lanjing and Cao Shuwei officially divorced, and the two children Cao Yu returned to Qi Lanjing and Cao Meng returned to Cao Shuwei. Three years later, Qi Lanjing met her current husband, and the family of three is currently settled in Lancheng, with a stable job and a happy family.

This time, Qi Lanjing called because she wanted to ask Qi Xia for help.

"Xia Xia, I heard that Grandma Chen is sick, can you go and visit me on my behalf?"

When Qi Lanjing resigned before, Grandma Chen was very reluctant, but she still respected her ideas. The two have been in contact over the years, and Qi Lanjing often sends souvenirs to Grandma Chen during the New Year.

When she was in high school, Grandma Chen took a lot of care of Qi Xia, even if Qi Lanjing didn't tell her, she should go back to Baita Lane.

Qi Xia flipped through the calendar on the desk, "Okay, I happen to be free this afternoon, is Grandma Chen in the hospital?" Or at home? ”

"People like them, where do they need to go to the hospital when they are sick?" Qi Lanjing's state is getting better and better after remarriage, and she speaks and does things calmly and gently, "You just go directly to the house, remember to buy a bouquet of flowers and fruits, and I will transfer the money to you later."

"No need aunt, you're too outward."

Hanging up the phone, Qi Xia quickly sorted out the work at hand, and then said to the editor-in-chief that he had left work an hour early.

There is a big shopping mall near the magazine, Qi Xia walked over, picked a bunch of sunflowers at the flower shop, bought a fruit basket, and took a taxi to Baita Lane.

The car stopped at the mouth of the alley, and the driver said, "Girl, No. 56 Baita Lane is in front, and there is a little traffic jam in front, you see......"

"Okay, I'll go down here."

After paying, Qi Xia took the basket of flowers and fruits and walked along the familiar path.

When Qi Xia lived in college, she occasionally came to Baita Lane for dinner, and then Qi Lanjing remarried, and she never came again.

Everything in Baita Lane is the same, on both sides of the deep alley, Xifu begonias are in full bloom, and the wind blows down the petals.

When she arrived at the door, she saw Aunt Wang beckoning to her from a distance, "Xia Xia, come here—"

Qi Xia smiled: "Disturb Aunt Wang, is Grandma Chen okay?" ”

"It's all good, the most recent is high blood pressure, I fainted the night before yesterday and scared people to death, but now it's fine, and I want you to run for a trip."

"It should."

After entering the house, Qi Xia put the fruit basket on the table and went to see Grandma Chen with the flowers.

Grandma Chen was lying on the bed, and next to her stood a nurse and two doctors, whispering something.

Seeing her, Grandma Chen smiled, "Xia Xia is here—"

"Grandma, I'm coming to see you, are you feeling better?"

Grandma Chen asked the nurse and the doctor to go out and pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed, "I'm fine, they are making a fuss, and they have to make everyone know about it and drive people to my side." ”

Qi Xia helped her tuck the quilt, "The body is the most important, you better be careful." ”

"Yes, yes." Grandma Chen looked at her with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you really look more and more iconic, Xia Xia, I heard that you work in the magazine?" ”

Qi Xia: "Well, Science Times, mainly do interviews on science and technology. ”

"Very good." Grandma Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Are you single?" ”

The topic turned unexpectedly, Qi Xia was stunned, "It's single." ”

"Oh, then you have to hurry, your career is endless, pick and choose while you're young. I'll say it casually, don't mind, we seniors like to talk about this. ”

Qi Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't mind." ”

Grandma Chen said again: "Do you need me to introduce you to you?" ”

"Huh?" Qi Xia couldn't cry or laugh, "Grandma, you...... You don't have any young people around you, how can you introduce them? ”

Grandma Chen frowned, "Hey, why not, don't you see that my grandson is the same age as you?" I was in the same class as you in high school, and I know the bottom line, and he is also single, so you think about it, how about letting him be your boyfriend? ”

There was silence in the room.

Qi Xia was so embarrassed that she touched her nose uncomfortably, and was about to say something to relieve the embarrassment, when she saw Aunt Wang come in from outside, leaned over and said something in Grandma Chen's ear.

Grandma Chen's face suddenly became ugly, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "Xia Xia, let Aunt Wang take you downstairs to eat something, and I'll rest." ”

Qi Xia was very discerning, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm hungry." ”

When she came out, a middle-aged man and a young woman passed by her and walked into Grandma Chen's room.

The middle-aged man has an elegant temperament, a suit and leather shoes, a young woman holding his arm, a pearl white cheongsam, a slender figure, looking at most thirty years old.

After a quick glance, Qi Xia retracted his gaze and didn't dare to look again.

When she got downstairs to the living room, Aunt Wang brought her some food and whispered, "That's Mr. Chen and the woman he raised." ”

Mr. Chan......

Chen Xifan's father? The woman next to him was too young too.

Qi Xia suddenly thought that He Xiao had said that Aunt Lin committed suicide by jumping off a cliff on the day of the New Year. At that time, she didn't understand why the good-natured Aunt Lin couldn't think about it, but now it seems that there may be something hidden.

She sighed softly, took small bites and was ready to leave.

Aunt Wang said again: "When you graduated, it seemed that you left a box of books in your former room, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Yes?"

"Yes, I cleaned it a few days ago and saw it, it should be something from your college days."

Qi Xia recalled for a moment, "When I graduated from college, my aunt went to school to help me pack my things, but she forgot to take it later, so I'll take a look." ”

"Go ahead, in the same room you used to live in."

Coming out of the gate, Qi Xia walked along the stone path to the small building at the back, and after walking a few steps, he saw several cars parked at the door, and then an acquaintance came in.

Song Qingyue stood behind several elders and walked in with a light smile. Today, she wore a small French fragrance suit, with linen gray fur fringe and long curly hair shawl, elegant and sophisticated.

When she looked up and saw Qi Xia, she was also stunned.
