Chapter 20: Adventures in the Study (Volume 2)
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door:
"Creek - Creek!"
"It's Mommy! Mommy is calling me!" whispered to Siqi.
"Hey—right away!"
She replied loudly.
"You come down in a moment and help Mommy do something. The footsteps faded away, and Yuan Li went downstairs.
Xiaoxi and Siqi looked at each other and smiled, each grimacing, straightened each other's messy hair, and pulled on their clothes.
"Honey, are you going down with me?"
Xiaoxi's hands hung from Siqi's neck, her little face was red, and her voice was sweet, becoming more and more charming.
Siqi was really reluctant to leave immediately, but this was not in his own home, and besides, it was the future mother-in-law who was calling, how could he disobey?
"Of course!" he kissed her lightly on the lips. "It is the honor of the minister to be by the side of Her Royal Highness the Princess! It is also the duty of the minister! Your Highness, please!" Siqi stretched out his right hand very gentlemanly.
"Master Pony, please!"
Xiaoxi also smiled and made a gesture of please.
The two hugged each other, kissed each other, tidied up the messy bed, held hands, and went downstairs with a smile.
"Mommy, what's the matter with telling me to come down?"
Xiaoxi and Siqi came to the kitchen on the first floor, looked at Yuan Li, who was busy with work, and asked.
Yuan Li saw that Siqi also came down, she smiled, and said, "Siqi, it's none of your business, Xiaoxi is here, you go watch TV!"
"That'...... I ......"
Xiaoxi glanced at Siqi, who was standing there at a loss, and said with a smile:
"You better go to the study by yourself, there's nothing to watch on TV, and the books in the study, you will definitely like it!" she pushed him: "Go and go, the study is in the hall on the first floor, next to the one in my aunt's bedroom." ”
"Okay, I just want to read a book. ”
Siqi was afraid that if he was here, it would affect the considerate words between the mother and daughter, so he went along with the conversation.
He came to the door of the study alone, stretched out a hand to cover his chest, and then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He didn't know what kind of surprises and surprises this study would bring him, so he had to calm his mind. But the moment he pushed open the door and opened his eyes, he was stunned, dizzy, and dumbfounded!
The spaciousness and size of the study really calmed him.
The four walls of the study and the open space in the middle, except for the floor-to-ceiling windows and a large writing desk, are almost all occupied by bookcases, which really looks like a small library. The wall behind the desk is not empty, a calligraphy with Wang Xi's pen is hung on the wall with brown wallpaper.
"If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life. ”
Needless to say, this sharp and powerful must have come from the hand of Yuanshan, because the lower right corner is marked with the date and signature.
Siqi couldn't wait to approach the bookcase, and couldn't wait to look at the layers of different types of books. In the bookcase on one wall, most of them are books on art, literature, painting, etc. Siqi guessed that these books were probably brought by Xiaoxi's parents, because they looked very professional. In the bookcase on the other wall, there are different types of world classics, ancient and modern novels, which is exactly what Siqi is interested in. When he saw the romance novels in the novel category, he unconsciously pulled out one. But when he got his hands on it for the first time, he was stunned.
Because, this is exactly the novel written by my mother Leng Yue.
He turned the first page and found a few lines on the title page, beautifully and chicly, that read:
"When will the sky be old? When will love be gone? Hongchen has love! Because of you!
I would like to give this book to people from afar!
Cold Moon- "
Looking at the handwriting, it is the handwriting of her mother Leng Yue.
He flipped down further, and many of the contents were crossed with a pen, and some words and paragraphs were written with thoughts and comments.
He looked at the books in the bookcase again, and his mother's works were almost all there, and there were quite a few of them.
Don't...... Are there any fans of my mother and book lovers in this house? or ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore. But when Xiaoxi first mentioned the distant mountains, Siqi's mother's abnormal behavior has always been incomprehensible and still fresh in his memory. Today, after reading these annotated books, Siqi really can't connect his mother with that mysterious distant mountain...... His head was really dizzy.
This is a ...... What is the situation? What is the relationship, what kind of relationship between the characters? It's been a long time...... For a long time, Siqi took the novel written by his mother and fell into deep contemplation.
Suddenly, the door of the study was slammed by something, and it opened!
"What the hell are you?!How dare you rummage through my precious book?!"
This unexpected welcome woke up Siqi, who was still in deep thought! His hand shook, and the novel written by his mother fell to the ground. I saw an old man in a wheelchair, glaring at him head-on. The old man's face was haggard and pale, and his head was full of silver hair, and he looked angry.
"Who are you?!?" he asked.
The voice is stern and authoritative.
"I ...... I am...... Li Siqi!"
"Li Siqi?!"
The old man turned the wheels of the wheelchair with both hands and approached him!
"Can Li Siqi go to this study? Who gave you this power!"
Siqi looked at the old man who was getting closer and closer, and from the old man's pair of extremely sharp, like two cold lights, he felt a terrifying power.
This is Xiaoxi's uncle, and the eldest brother of his future mother-in-law?
"Siqi is...... Creek's boyfriend! It's Creek who called me...... Come on. ”
"Brook, who is Brook?" he asked again.
Facing an arrogant, bad-tempered, once dominant, an old man who seemed to have some kind of relationship with his mother, but now has to sit in a wheelchair, Siqi's heart is very complicated.
Thinking that he is also a high-achieving student and a young talent, no matter what, he should face the difficult old man bravely and tactfully. Instead of being as now, looking frightened, stammering, and cowardly. Moreover, he is also Xiaoxi's uncle, his uncle, and his future relative.
Thinking of this, he sighed lightly, raised his head, and subconsciously raised his chin, as if this increased his pride and courage.
He pondered for a moment, a self-deprecating smile rising into the corners of his mouth.
Once again, he gave his own explanation to Xiaoxi's uncle, Yuanshan. But—this time it's calm, it's clear, it's logical.
"Uncle, please calm down first, please listen to me!" he smiled: "Xiaoxi...... It's your niece! It's your sister Yuan Li's daughter. And I, Xiaoxi's boyfriend, your future nephew and son-in-law, are by no means a bad guy of unknown origin. ”
