if relics could talk

After dinner, Jiang Zhaohe wanted to go home early and was going to take a walk back. Jiang Youmei was worried, so she took Tao Ping to accompany him for a walk and sent him home.

Only Tao Le and Qin Yi were left in the family.

This is Qin Yi's first visit to Tao Le's boudoir, and his mood must be different.

Tao Le poured him a glass of water, and found him sitting upright on the computer chair in her room, staring at the photo of her childhood on the bedside table in a daze.

That photo was taken by Lao Tao. Tao Le changed her teeth for the first time. The old teeth fell out and the new teeth hadn’t grown out yet.

Lao Tao thought he was innocent, so he took a picture of it.

The question is which big girl would be ashamed to show such ugly photos in front of her boyfriend!

Tao Le put down the water glass and rushed over to press down the photo frame. Afterwards, he was still worried and immediately stuffed it into the drawer.

"Oh, why did Dad put it out again? I said it was not good-looking, so I asked him to put it away!"

"Very cute," Qin Yi laughed, and pulled Tao Le, who was so shy that he wanted to shrink himself up, to sit on his lap, "Girlfriend, it seems that you care about my opinion."

"I was so stupid when I was a child..."

"In my eyes, you look good no matter what," Qin Yi buried his head in her neck, "I think my uncles and aunts seem to accept me."

"You've already taken care of our grandpa Wang Zha, of course I have to accept you."

"Although Grandpa's opinion is also very important, no one's opinion is as important as yours."

Tao Le was a little confused: "Are you the real Qin Yi? Didn't some strange soul suddenly live in your body halfway through? I remember you were not like this before."

"You weren't my girlfriend before," Qin Yi wrapped his arms around her waist, "I haven't been as happy as I am today for a long time."

"Is my dad's approval really that important?"

"It's not this problem. Even if he doesn't agree now, I will try my best to make him satisfied with me, and give you to me with confidence."

"Then why are you so happy?"

Tao Le thought, Grandpa's liking for him has been obvious for a long time, and mother has never been dissatisfied with him.

"You don't seem to have ever asked me about my family."

Tao Le recalled what Xiaobai had said - "My son can't take care of me, so I can take care of me..."

After Qin Yi returned to China, he didn't seem to have been home very much. Although he didn't live in the studio, Tao Le had been to the place where he lived. There was no trace of the second person's life at all, and the beds in the guest room were not made.

His relationship with his family is probably not that harmonious.

"If you don't want to tell, then I won't ask."

"I want to talk now."

Tao Le hugged his neck: "Then tell me, I'll listen slowly."

Qin Yi has never mentioned his family to anyone, not only Tao Le, but during the years when he went abroad, his classmates and later work partners never knew about his family situation. The tuition and living expenses are all earned by himself, and everyone just guesses that his family's financial conditions are not very good.

But judging from Qin Yi's habits and Xiao Bai's situation, even if their family isn't very rich, they shouldn't be particularly hard-pressed.

"What kind of person do you think I am when you first met me?"

"Hmm... An introverted personality, not good at speaking," Tao Le thought for a while, "And maybe he doesn't have many friends, but such a good-looking photographer with low-key clothes is quite mysterious."

"My requirements for life are actually not too high. Basically, the big expenses are to buy photographic equipment."

"A very qualified photographer."

"But my family doesn't support me as a photographer."

Tao Le's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the conflict between him and his family members may have started from the career path he chose.

"Do they think there is no future in this line of work?" Tao Le tried his best to cheer up the atmosphere, "In fact, the elders have this kind of mentality, thinking that civil servants, teachers, doctors and nurses, such relatively stable occupations, are solid jobs. "

"My mother died of illness very early. I... grew up with my grandfather." Perhaps afraid of Tao Le's misunderstanding, Qin Yi quickly added, "My father is busy with work and often travels on business."

Tao Le understood: "No wonder you hit it off with my grandfather so much, you think of your grandpa? Where's your grandpa?"

"died."

Tao Le didn't know what to say.

"My grandfather and father are both archaeological researchers, and my father has always hoped that I can inherit this career," Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "but you know, I am only interested in photography."

It must be very difficult to hold opposing opinions with your parents and persist until today.

Tao Le's heart ached, she took Qin Yi's hand, and pressed her forehead against his forehead: "Poor little boy, I'll love you."

Qin Yi was amused by her tone: "I insisted on studying abroad at that time, and my father cut off contact with me in a fit of anger. My grandfather helped me with all the tuition and living expenses, and the money my mother left me supported me. , Later, I went to work-study program by myself, so I survived.”

"What then?"

"Later, grandpa retired. After he retired, he was hired back and continued to take students to archaeology. Once..." Qin Yi paused before continuing, "There was a car accident on the way of a business trip."

Tao Le's heart seemed to be stabbed, and he could only hold Qin Yi's hand tightly.

His tone is so calm, but he must have been very shocked and very, very sad at the beginning.

"I was abroad at the time, there was jet lag, I didn't see it when my aunt informed me," Qin Yi buried his head in Tao Le's arms, "I still didn't catch up in the end, these years..."

His voice gradually choked up: "He must have been blaming me."

Tao Le knew very well that the "he" Qin Yi was referring to definitely did not refer to his grandfather.

Then there is only his father.

But at this moment, Tao Le just wanted to play dumb, she said: "Why would Grandpa blame you? He loves you so much before it's too late."

Then she asked quickly, "So how is your father doing now?"

"Grandpa remarried before he passed away." Qin Yi's tone was full of self-mockery. "I thought I was a rebellious son. Now that I'm married and have a new family, how could I still remember me?"

Tao Le said: "I haven't asked you carefully. You told us that you might need to pay for an assistant to come over. At that time, we had a dispute about how to pay the salary. That is to say, you originally planned to If you really went to hire an assistant, how did you become Xiaobai in the end?"

"I didn't take the initiative to contact them very much after I returned to China, but my aunt kept asking Xiaobai to contact me. It was only then that I realized that he also studied photography."

"Then how does your father treat Xiao Bai?"

Qin Yi smiled shallowly: "Xiaobai has worshiped my father since he was a child, and my father has always loved him very much. Last time, he introduced a girl to him and asked him to go on a blind date."

"That is to say, their relationship has always been very good, and your father still cares about him very much."

"Correct."

"Then if your father is really opposed to his beloved child, how can he let him learn photography? And they have been in touch all the time, won't your father know that Xiaobai has come to our studio?"

Qin Yi froze for a moment, his body gradually stiffened.
