leave you

Lei Lei has been very clingy to Xue Jin since she was sensible, and every time she met, she would pull him to make small talk, so that Luo Shan, the father, was very angry at one point, thinking that Xue Jin had taken away half of his little padded jacket.

"Wake up, your daughter doesn't treat her like a father." Feng Qingqing has always been venomous and cold, "I stick to Xue Jin because he is good-looking and gentle. Why don't you look in the mirror? Is there any comparison?"

Lei Lei's father was very hurt, and from then on he began to teach Xue Jin severely: "Can you absorb your supernatural powers, from ninety to three years old, is there any age group other than babies who can't receive your charm?"

Xue Jin was shot innocently, and complained for himself: "Is there anything wrong with my goddaughter?"

When he said this, he was arguing with Lei Lei on the children's carpet without any burden of being an idol, and he was distracted to care about the half-pile of building blocks that were about to form, lest the little girl would be sad if they accidentally collapsed.

He is really kind to Lei Lei, patient and careful, almost every time we meet, he will bring her some interesting little things, and he is responsive to the little girl, but he is not blindly spoiling her, and he will teach her a lot.Luo Shan and Feng Qingqing always felt that even if Xue Jin had a daughter by himself one day, it would probably only reach this level.

But that's not necessarily a good thing.

They know that Xue Jin really loves Lei Lei as his daughter. As Lei Lei's parents, they are of course happy, but as Xue Jin's friend, they prefer to let him pour his affection on Lei Lei. Hope someone can take care of him.

Xue Jin seems to be easy-going and easy to get along with, but he is actually quite independent. Luo Shan has known him for so many years, and he has always been regarded as an acquaintance. It was only after he returned to China that he gradually became acquainted.It's not easy for such a person to find a partner, but Xue Jin himself didn't feel anxious, and they couldn't say anything.

"Okay, I don't have to worry about that." Once Luo Shan mentioned something, Xue Jin immediately understood what he meant, "It's not like you don't know about my situation. One more person is still in the way, and it's fine to live on your own." Yes, let’s talk about it if there is something suitable.”

Luo Shan had no choice but to swallow the words "Should I introduce you to someone?"But although he didn't mention it at the time, he kept thinking about it in his heart, always thinking about when he would bring up the old story again, and calling Xue Jin to eat at home today actually had the same meaning.

He picked Yang Zixi home just before dinner time. At that time, Xue Jin had already finished the manual homework assigned by Lei Lei in the kindergarten, and was sitting on the floor flipping through a photo album, recalling her father's dark history for her while looking at it.Seeing him open the door and come in, Lei Lei raised her little hand and called out to her father, then laughed happily: "We are looking at your old photos!"

Luo Shan suddenly had a bad feeling, and when he went over to see it, he found that they were all ugly photos at the bottom of the box.Xue Jin was already laughing so hard that he still didn't forget to separate the relationship: "My sister-in-law gave it to me. I think there are so many ugly photos. You should reflect on yourself."

"Get lost." Luo Shan slapped the back of his head angrily, "Get up and eat, don't ruin my image in front of my daughter."

Yang Zixi laughed beside him so much that his stomach hurts, and when he got tired of laughing, he wanted to come over and look at the ugly photos, but the photo album had already been confiscated by Luo Shan, and they were forbidden to move any more.

Four adults and one child came to the dining table together. Leilei ate very well and didn't need her parents to worry about it. So they ate and chatted happily.

Feng Qingqing is from the south of the Yangtze River, and she is good at cooking, but she is usually busy with work, and she has been cooking less recently, so it is rare to have the opportunity to cook a table of dishes and invite them to come to eat.Yang Zixi has been thinking about the squirrel mandarin fish that Xue Jin and her sister-in-law showed off after returning to China, and this time he finally ate it, feeling satisfied.

"If you like it, next time I'll make it ready and let Luo Shan take it to the law firm for you." Feng Qingqing smiled, "I usually don't have time for a table of dishes like this, and it's okay to fry a fish."

"That's so embarrassing..." Yang Zixi gave a symbolic politeness, but it was just a moment, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xue Jin had already gone into the kitchen to cut oranges for Lei Lei. Hearing her outside cheering for her success, she couldn't help but said, "Miss Yang said before that she wanted to learn how to cook. What's the result?"

Yang Zixi slumped on the chair waiting to eat, and said honestly: "I didn't dare to taste it myself before I finished my studies, so I don't want to poison you. Brother, you always come here to eat, why haven't you seen you learn to cook?"

"What am I learning? It's fine to eat out or invite an aunt." Xue Jin refused confidently, "It's enough to come here for a meal every now and then. I'm not as greedy as you."

He really doesn't know how to cook, and his culinary skills are limited to making instant noodles, but he knows that he is not that kind of material, and he neither wants to learn nor needs to learn, anyway, eating outside food can't kill anyone, so why force himself.

"Hurry up and find someone who can cook, don't come to our house all the time to eat and drink." Luo Shan detested him.

Xue Jin cut up the oranges, put them on a plate, and brought them out. He was not in a hurry to go back to Luoshan, and complained to Leilei very thoughtfully: "Look at your father, he won't let me come to your house in the future. what to do?"

"I can also invite Uncle Xue to our house as a guest." Lei Lei is not afraid of her father at all, and even brought out her mother as a foreign aid to ask for help, "Mom, do you think so?"

Feng Qingqing nodded with the mentality of watching a play, and Luo Shan once again realized the fact that he had no family status, and ate an orange slice without love.

Jokes are jokes, but the words are all true. Xue Jin also understands what they mean, and smiles while holding a small fork for Lei Lei: "How can there be so many homosexuals who can cook and like you on the street, let's go with the flow .”

"It's fine for you to have a sense of proportion. If you meet the right one, talk about it. There is no harm."

Of course Xue Jin knows this truth. He also had a boyfriend when he was studying in M ​​Province. He was a foreign boy from the Academy of Fine Arts. He was pretty and could cook. .But after a while, he found it boring - the other party was very clingy to him, but they had nothing in common, even the types of movies they liked were different, and there were not many other activities when they were together except for sex, they were all busy Everyone, my little boyfriend is painting, he is busy writing papers and doing projects, and he lacks the passion that should be in the period of passionate love.

Xue Jin is born to like to give, and he can make each other feel like a spring breeze when facing strangers, let alone the person he is in love with.When we were together, he was extremely considerate to his boyfriend, and gained the natural dependence of the other party, but when he unilaterally felt tired, this dependence became his burden.

Yang Zixi called it the scumbag gene in his bones, and Xue Jin deeply believed it.

Although he still likes the other party quite a bit, it makes him feel a bit boring. Just before graduation, he and Luo Shan had an agreement to return to Jiangcheng for development, so Xue Jin broke up with the other party.

He still remembers the teary-eyed look of the little boyfriend. Of course good-looking is good-looking, and he can't say that he doesn't like them. Now that he thinks about it, if he didn't return to China, maybe he would reconcile with the other party.

But falling in love is falling in love, and making do with life is living a life. Xue Jin consciously distinguishes the two clearly, they are not the same thing.People like his parents can still be affectionate when they are middle-aged, go on a trip, say I love you first when they wake up every day, it is definitely different from living with a partner, he doesn't know if he can find such a person, anyway, there Before, it was probably just making do.

He has lived for nearly 30 years, and he has never really talked about a love affair that made his heart beat.This sounds a bit miserable, but some people will never have it in a lifetime, and he still has decades to count on, maybe one day he will meet the right person.

Xue Jin didn't tell anyone about this, because it sounded so naive and ridiculous, he was embarrassed.

It was nearly nine o'clock after a meal. Xue Jin drove Yang Zixi back. On the way, he asked her if she wanted to buy supper as usual, but Ms. Yang shook her head: "I'm full, let's go for a walk by the river."

So Xue Jin turned the steering wheel and went to the riverside. The two found a place to park and walked slowly along the pedestrian greenway by the riverside.

The weather was a bit cold, and there were fewer people walking along the river than in summer. Xue Jin was afraid that Yang Zixi would be cold, so he took a big scarf from the back seat and wrapped it around her before getting out of the car. He went to a convenience store to buy two cups of hot drinks, and shared a cup with her. Take it with you.

"Staying with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to lose weight for the rest of my life." Yang Zixi pouted, "It's fine if I want to eat, I don't even want to eat, why are you rushing to buy me sweets?"

Xue Jin took a sip of hot cocoa, feeling amused.

"With your skeleton, losing weight will probably be a matter of your next life."

They chatted as they walked, taking a walk in the name of digestion, but they didn't go too far.At the end of the greenway is a small square, where people will walk their dogs at night, Yang Zixi heard the movement of the big dog in front of him having fun, suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Xue Jin's sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Xue Jin was startled by her and almost spilled his drink.

"I remember that your family seems to live near here, right?"

"correct."

"You're not afraid of dogs, are you?"

"..." Xue Jin felt something was wrong, but still nodded, "It's okay, it depends on the species."

His parents had a dog, but the dog didn't like him. He was normal to small animals like cats, cats and dogs, and he didn't have any special feelings. Every time he went home, he just stroked them symbolically, but Yang Zixi suddenly asked if he liked it. like dogs...

Sure enough, Miss Yang clasped her hands together and begged, "I'm going to a court in another city next week, can you help take care of my dog?"

One morning three days later, Xue Jin took Yang Zixi's dog home.

It was a border collie, named Lucas, who was two years old this year. After Yang Zixi settled down on a place to live, he consigned it all the way back to Jiangcheng from Province M, but if it hadn't been for foster care, Xue Jin would not have known that she had a dog.

"Why don't you put it in the pet store? I've never raised a dog, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of it."

"I originally wanted to put them in a pet store, but I haven't found a reliable pet store. You're not busy recently, so help me look after them for a few days." Yang Zixi packed dog food, kennels, and dog toys into his car. Then he led Lucas into the car, and motioned his son to show his temporary father a smile, "It's very obedient, although most of the border herds are very naughty, but it doesn't know how to listen to what it says, but it's smart."

Lucas: "Wow!"

Xue Jin is skeptical about this, but since he has already promised her, it is impossible for him to go back on his word.Yang Zixi will have to go for four or five days this trip. He has an extra mouth to eat at home, and he has to go out for a walk at night. Xue Jin thought about it, and said to Luo Shan and Jiang Shaohua respectively, that he simply won't go to the law firm this week. , continue to work on Ah Sang's affairs at home.
