gray manor

Xin Xi woke up drowsily from the bed, looked up to observe the intricate patterns on the ceiling, and couldn't help thinking in a daze: Who am I?where am I?why am i here

After the soul interrogated her three times in a row, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She hugged the soft quilt with both hands, and the familiar feeling slowly came to her mind. The memory before going to bed seems to be lost.

After leaving Gray Manor, various things happened, and after going around, they still returned to this hidden place.She is now lying in the room she lived in a few months ago, and the furnishings have not changed at all, even the soothing and mild scent of kapok on the quilt and pillow is exactly the same as before they left.

Who can imagine how many problems to be solved have emerged in this short period of time, and what consequences these problems will cause?Xiao Xin didn't know, she could only take one step at a time.

The turbulent emotions were sorted out, and Xin Xi got up immediately. She stepped on her slippers and walked into the bathroom, took two handfuls of water and rubbed her cheeks. The coolness that hit her face finally gave her the feeling of returning to the real world.She looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and her unchanging eyes, and thought: Fortunately, I am still alive.

She simply took a shower, washed off the fatigue and sweat stains on her body, and found a comfortable and dry clothes to change into, as if she was much more energetic than when she just woke up.Xin Xi winked at herself in the mirror, as if to cheer herself up, and then she pumped up her strength, pushed the door and walked out.

In the corridor, you can hear the sound of cutting vegetables with the blade hitting the chopping board, and you don't know who is preparing the dinner.

During the months she lived here, she could hear such movements in the corridor almost every day.Xiaoxin uses various cooking methods that are not necessarily standard in various countries to throw firewood, rice, oil and salt into non-stick pans, ovens, and steamers, and tumbling out of the world.

Almost all of the moments of stability that she has had a hard time feeling since she came to Blu-ray have stayed here.

Feelings of déjà vu came flooding back, and she subconsciously looked at the innermost room at the other end of the corridor—the door that was supposed to be closed was now wide open indifferently.It seems that nothing has changed, it's just that this change is beyond the reach of Sim's lack of imagination.

Xin Xida stood in a daze for a while, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and walked into the public rest area. Looking up, he saw a big blue-haired kid playing games with two dark brown-haired kids behind the sofa. The three heads leaned together, and occasionally the younger brother would exclaim in a low voice.

In the kitchen, it turned out that Zhao Zhao was busy.

She concentrated on chopping vegetables, occasionally looking at the menu on the side.Xiao Xin walked over and hugged Zhao Xi from behind. Her warm and lively body temperature and the touch of her thin spine made Xin Xi relax.Fortunately, she has close friends by her side, fortunately, she knows her own origin, and she still has enough concern for this world.

Zhaoxi was chopping vegetables, but she didn't expect a pair of white arms to come around her from behind, and then she felt a soft fleshy face pressed against her back, and she was suspected of whimpering and coquettish.Zhaoxi calmly let her hug her for a while, feeling like a big human pillow.

There was no news from them last night, she was so worried that she didn't fall asleep all night, and stayed up all night chatting with Yi Lai.

When Raven went to pick her up at home and asked her to pack her luggage, she was in a daze, thinking that something had happened, her legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, his explanation came in time, just let them move back to Gray Manor.

Zhaoxi later thought that if Raven hadn't held her hand steady and explained the ins and outs to her quickly, it might have been difficult for her to relieve the breath stuck in her nasal cavity.

For unknown reasons, she always has some bad premonitions lingering in her mind recently, and occasionally has palpitations and palpitations.And Xin Tiantian's first reaction when she ran over to hug her after finishing her mission was more likely to make people think wildly. What did she go through outside?

Zhao Xi was so worried that the movements of her hands also stopped.

Xin Xi didn't know what was going on in her heart. After embracing the courage to return to the real world, she withdrew her hand, and turned to ask Zhaozhao very naturally: "What are you going to cook?"

"Home cooking... scrambled eggs with tomato or something...?"

Zhao Xi’s tone was full of doubts and uncertainties. To be honest, she’s actually not very good at cooking, and she doesn’t usually have high requirements for food. She alternates between school cafeteria and takeaway, and only occasionally cooks when she’s in the mood. Tomatoes Scrambled eggs are almost the only dish she can handle.

As for why her three-legged cat-like kitchen painstaking hand appeared in this kitchen?It's very simple, she was hungry, and Pin, who was staying in the living room, told her that the housekeeper and servants were temporarily dismissed, and the two people who could cook came here yesterday and fell asleep and didn't get up at all. The few pieces of cooked food left at home The toast was fed to the children by him just now.

So... Zhao can only rely on herself. When she opened the refrigerator door, she could only look at the dazzling array of unprocessed ingredients and cheer herself up. She picked up the kitchen knife, clicked on the recipe on her mobile phone, and was about to try to make something according to the gourd. eat.

Xin Xiaochu clearly heard the cautiousness in her friend's tone, she grinned silently, and said confidently: "Let me do it, you just do it."

If Zhaoxi was granted amnesty, she immediately handed over the handle of the knife to Xin Xi, turned around and said, "I'll go to the refrigerator to get some eggs."

"By the way, you can also cook some rice. The rice is in the last shelf of the cabinet on the right side of the refrigerator. It's about seven cups. It should be enough for everyone to eat." Xin Xi assigned tasks to her fluently. Judging by her proficiency, she should have done a lot before. Big pot of rice.

Zhao Xi scooped up seven spoonfuls of rice obediently with a standard cup, washed the rice, added water and closed the lid of the rice cooker. Pressed the switch in the default mode, and the breathing light flashed twice peacefully to start working.

"There are fresh tiger prawns in the refrigerator. Ivan sent someone to deliver them this morning. I think they will be delicious if they are treated with salt and pepper." Pin's voice came from the sofa, and his desire for prawns was beyond words.

"Understood." Xiaochu Xin immediately said that he had received his hint.

The way of life seems to have returned to before leaving.Xiao Xin handled the raw food calmly, trying his best to let go of those complicated thoughts in his mind.

To feed three growing children, a strong man, and two adult women, those small stir-fries are definitely not enough, so Xiao Xin used a pressure cooker to cook a large pot of beef bone soup, and put potatoes, carrots and onions in it. Throw it away, I'm afraid the capacity of the pot is too small to fit it, and don't worry that everyone's stomachs will be too full to eat.

Looking at her skillful posture of chopping vegetables and meat with a hob, Zhaoxi felt that she had the talent for "raising pigs".

Pin led the children to play two games of kung fu, and the door of Siren's room opened.

His eyes were sleepy, his hair was completely untrimmed, and he didn't care about the drops of water dripping from his temples along the jawline. It looked like he had just woken up, washed his face with water and ran out without drying it.

The siren smelled the aroma of rice and the faint beef soup overflowing from the pot, rubbed his head, and walked to the kitchen with his slippers on. Seeing the two girls cooking the ingredients at a leisurely pace, he followed suit with a relaxed expression. Looking at her face, she asked, "What's for dinner?"

Little Chef Xin didn't even raise his head: "I cooked some vegetarian dishes, and then I'm going to make some salivating chicken, salt and pepper shrimp, and sweet and sour pork ribs. I'm afraid you don't have enough, so I cooked beef bone soup."

The Siren was very satisfied with the answer, and couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's right."

"I'm frying sugar color now, and I'm going to make ribs. The soup still needs to simmer for a while, so you can sit over there and wait."

Xiao Xin stretched out his hand, and his index finger extended straight to the hairy heads of the three children.

"You want me to take care of the kids?"

"I'm afraid you will be bored waiting alone, wouldn't it be nice to play games with them?"

"Heh." The Siren sneered inexplicably, although he didn't know what was going on in his mind, but judging by his expression... he really deserved a beating.It's like saying, let a high-end player like me play games with those little kids, isn't that a hang-up?

Before he could explain the inexplicably superior sneer, a high-speed moving black unknown object flew towards his head.The Siren easily caught it, and after a closer look, he found that it was his game controller, and the blue-haired Teenage Falcon's sharp eyes threw it from the sofa.

Pin didn't have any ups and downs in his tone, and said concisely: "Let's fight one-on-one."

One-on-one is one-on-one.

The high-end player Siren was full of confidence, and ran over to participate in the 1V1 battle while holding the handle, without looking back.

Xin Xi looked at him no differently from a fool, she thought to herself: This dude must be sleepy and sleepy, Pin alone has three higher IQs than you, what kind of courage do you have to single out video games with others and still feel that you are will win? !

Zhaoxi summed it up concisely: people who are beautiful really have bad brains.

The aroma of the beef bone soup gradually became stronger amidst the resentment of the siren's defeat again and again. Xiao Xin seasoned it, then covered it with a lid and simmered it for a while.

But its aroma was too irresistible, after setting the tableware, Xin Xi couldn't wait to serve it to the table.

"Eat and eat!"

When the Siren heard the call, he immediately stopped the fight with Pin, and jumped out of the sofa with one hand. The main reason why he responded to the call so actively was definitely not because of hunger, but because he clearly didn't want to be abused by Pin again.

As expected of doing field work on the front line, the siren ran so fast that the controller seemed to have been thrown out by him.

Seeing his fled appearance, Xin Xi couldn't help showing a mean and wretched smile, his eyes and nose were squeezed together deliberately, and the expression of schadenfreude overflowed to the point of overflowing.

The siren only regarded her as air, and didn't even look at her more.

The six people were seated one after another. Except for Pin who couldn't use chopsticks well, the others had no difficulty in using tableware.

Of course, Pin doesn't think that not being able to use chopsticks is a problem. It's not that he still has a pair of ten-fingered hands that can use 嚒.As long as you have food in your heart, no matter how you eat it, it will not affect the flavor.

Xiaoxin and Zhaozhao served everyone rice and bone soup in turn, indicating that the "hungry ghosts" could eat.

Pin couldn't wait, holding the spoon in his left hand and chopsticks in the right, he carefully skimmed the vegetables into the spoon and put them in his own bowl.Just when he was about to put the second rib into his mouth, he suddenly sensed that the gate of the manor was opened, and after checking the identity of the visitor, Pin's face suddenly changed, and he stopped putting the second rib in his mouth. The activity of separating the flesh and blood subconsciously looked at Xin Xi.

Xin felt his gaze, and the two looked at each other. Seeing that his expression was wrong, she asked casually, "What's wrong with you? Are you stuck in a bone?"

The blue-haired boy shook his head, covered his mouth and mumbled, "Ivan is here."

"That's quite a coincidence." Xin Xi picked up a mouthful of plain rice with a calm expression.

It was only natural for Mr. Gray to return to his manor in the suburbs, but Xin still didn't know how to face this kind friend who had been generously helping them.

Although her first reaction was to find a reason to avoid it, the adult responsible for eating 27 people's food let her stay. When Gray emerged from the stairs step by step, it was too late for her to regret it.

"Huh? Are you having dinner?" Mr. Gray was still wearing a crisp suit. He looked at the table full of dishes and said with interest: "It seems that I came at the right time."

"It's a little late," Pin scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, and the aroma of beef overflowed between his lips and teeth, he said, "Xin didn't do your part."

Xin Xi quickly waved his hand to deny it, and put on the usual Chinese polite words: "No, no, I have done a lot of things, and another pair of bowls and chopsticks is enough."

Gray seemed to be waiting for her to say this, and as soon as Xin Xi's voice fell, he answered immediately: "Then I will not be polite." Then he showed a very bright smile, and consciously went to the kitchen to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat down with him. They eat together.

Seeing his smooth operation, Xiao Xin's mind was full of question marks: Why did this gentleman suddenly appear?Why act like you're just here for a meal?But the way he is scooping up the soup does look urgent... Well, I didn't expect him to be pretty good with chopsticks?

She digressed and thought for a long time, and finally came to her senses, and she couldn't figure out Gray's motive for returning to the manor. There were only seven words left in her stuck mind: What's the matter...

A certain cook who was extremely depressed had no taste for the food. Even though she had toiled for dinner for a long time, she was reluctant to even remove a bowl of rice, and she didn't even touch a single beef bone. Swallowing a bowl of plain rice is bad for your body.

The siren started to eat with a dull head, and only after gnawing three big bones did he have time to care about his teammates. Seeing the dying look on the other side, he said to the point: "Is it sick or something? Usually eat two Where did the energy to breathe without the bowl go?"

"You're the one who's sick! It's okay, don't curse me!" The half-dead teammate who was poked at the pain point immediately regained his spirits, straightened his back and slammed back.

The siren took advantage of the opportunity to pick up salt and pepper shrimp with chopsticks for her. From the corner of the eye, he quickly glanced at Gray, who was eating well, and said meaningfully with the corner of his mouth slanted: "Then eat well. This shrimp is quite good."

Although she didn't know the meaning of this friend's words, Xin felt uncomfortable seeing his cheap look, so she smiled on the surface, but she stretched her left foot under the table and kicked Siren's knee without hesitation.

She acted fiercely without any hesitation, and ruthlessly threatened him: "Shut up and eat."

Siren has a special constitution and is insensitive to pain. The strength of Xin Xi's kick may not be relieved by other people for a few days. To him, it is just scratching.However, he also knew that he would accept as soon as it was good. Sai always had a certain degree of relaxation, and it was interesting to annoy the captain to see the wonderful expression changes on her face.

This meal was awkward again, of course it was limited to the Xin family, and everyone else played to their normal standards—except for the beef bone soup, which was left with a clear soup and little water, nothing was left out .

Satisfied with wine and food, Pin routinely drives the robotic arm to clean up the mess automatically. Zhao Zhao is going to take the two children out for a walk to digest food. Siren doesn't know what happened, so she follows them downstairs.The two retreated smoothly, without even asking Xin Xi if he wanted to go with them.

Although Xiao Pin is not willing to run downstairs as a dead house, he also does not want to stay here to disturb the sudden visit of the cheap uncle, after all, he is not an idiot.

Yiwen is usually busy with work, so a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing can come to the manor just to have a meal. There must be other reasons.And given that he hasn't given him any glances since he showed up, Pin reasonably deduces that he's [-]% not looking for him.

After a quick analysis, the blue-haired boy found a reason to escape back to the room, leaving the two of them alone.

From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Xin rolled his noble eyelids at these friends who were too observant, and said: What is the common evasive plot in this kind of idol drama? Please, don't you really need it.What will happen that must be avoided? Everyone, is it okay to stay and face it together as brothers?

At this time, for the first time in her life, she doubted whether she made friends carelessly.

Gray changed from the other side of the long table to the seat next to Xin Xi. As soon as he took his seat, Xin Xi could smell the perfume that seemed to be emanating from him, and the leather mixed with aloe enveloped her from the collar of his tightly buttoned shirt. Xiao Xin's nose, eyes and other facial features, as well as Xiao Xin's ears hidden in his hair, turned red all of a sudden.

"I didn't expect Raven to contact me, but I'm very happy to see you again so soon." Gray couldn't stop smiling, staring at Xin Xi's side face intently.

For some reason, Xiao Xin felt nervous. She didn't seem to care much about the safety distance before, because she knew that Mr. Gray was a perfect gentleman, but since the showdown last time, he obviously didn't want to bear that false name. Somewhat intimate and ambiguous.

How did Xin Xi respond to this?

Although she has grown so-so for 27...almost 28 years, her love life is not rich, and she has only dated one lover in so many years. In her eyes, there is no gender distinction for other people, no matter what gender they are, and they can be defined at a glance. Being good friends has nothing to do with love.

It was quite a surprise for her to meet such a handsome man with peach blossoms and leaves all of a sudden.

It is true that Xin Xi had a good impression of him before, but he never thought about having a further relationship. Fortunately, now that the half-covered "fig leaf" has been torn away, it will be difficult to pretend not to understand.

She tried to look sideways at Gray, only to notice that he didn't wear contact lenses today, but a pair of thin-rimmed glasses on his tall nose bridge.Originally, Gray was very gentle, but wearing these glasses gave him a sense of abstinence and elites.

His appearance is really refreshing.

"Will I be a little too direct?" Gray was a little at a loss by her pair of invincible and clear eyes looking back at him. At the shoulders and necks, even the tone became hesitant: "I didn't before... I mean, the education I received may not be very similar to yours, not so euphemistic, so if some of my words If I offend you..."

Xin was not as dull as she had shown, she immediately noticed Gray's slightly hastily averted eyes, and his left thumb and index finger resting on his thigh were caressing nervously.

She thought for a while, and secretly guessed: His behavior probably means that he is shy?It turns out that Mr. Gray is a man who is calm on the surface but shy in private?I really didn't expect it.

Her inner villain couldn't help but snarl and stomp her face, because she had to admit, Gray was actually kind of cute like this.

Xin's thoughts turned upside down, but he could only wave his hands on his face, pretending to be calm and said: "No, no, such words are not so offensive, it's better to say that I think this is very good, what do you think? Just say it, you don’t have to guess, and you will get along more comfortably.”

"Well," Gray nodded, and continued following her point of view: "I made some bad decisions without authorization before, which affected you and your team members. I'm really sorry. I know that verbal apologies are very scarce. So I want to make some compensation, you can make any request, any aspect is fine, I will achieve it no matter what.”

"You're too polite, there's no need to be like this." Xin Xi waved his hand, and felt that if he refused it would give him a misunderstanding that he was still thinking about the previous incident, so he added: "The past is the past, the compensation It’s really not necessary, it’s enough for you to continue to provide us with a place to stay. How can you be clear about the things like love, resentment, love, and love? Or… we can write off those shitty things from now on. , let them all disappear, don't feel guilty and save me from embarrassment, okay?"

Unexpectedly, she could dominate the conversation with just a few words. Gray reacted for a few seconds and felt that her proposal was fine, so he nodded and agreed.

"Since this is the case, then if I have something to say, I'll just say it straight." Xin Xi didn't give the other party any buffer time to hesitate to speak, and said bluntly: "You came here suddenly today, and you probably didn't just come for a meal. Simple. I believe that with Raven's character, he should only tell you a certain part when he contacted you. If you have any doubts about this matter, you can ask me, and I will answer it for you after thinking about it. And, In exchange, I also have a question I want to confirm with you."

In Gray's dialogues, words, subtext, and other words and sentences attached to hidden meanings are very sensitive. He suddenly smelled the chill hidden in Xin Xi's words, and the remaining ambiguity in his heart disappeared immediately, and the fingers that were nervously caressing were also gone. Small movements stopped.

Of course, he went back to the manor on weekdays not only for the purpose of talking about love.

The information Raven expresses is too little. In order to be responsible to Pin, he has to confirm that the two seemingly insane children living here will not cause excessive danger, but he has not had time to change the topic. The straight ball has already been hit.

Mountain rain is coming.

Obviously it was Xin Xi who created the tense atmosphere, but when she looked at him through Gray's lens, she vaguely saw the look in the eyes of this destined capital heir the night Fan Che exposed his lies. Calm, restrained and full of powerful aura.

But the two didn't look at each other for long.

Gray quickly looked away, lowered his eyelids for a while and thought for a while, then touched her shoulder lightly, pointed to the side stairs and said, "Let's talk about it in another place."

Although Xin Xi had lived in Gray Manor for a long time, she had never been to any room above the second floor.This caused her to have an indescribable feeling as if she was exploring when she climbed the stairs behind Gray, and every step deepened the novelty of her going to the unknown world.

"My room pays more attention to privacy. You can say whatever you want." Gray opened the door of his room, turned his head and gestured to invite him in, and Xin Xi walked in obediently.

"You mean it's not safe downstairs?"

"It doesn't mean that, it's just in case." Gray closed the door, took the controller on the left chest of drawers, tapped a few times on the panel, and turned off all the switches that could produce technological and electronic connections with the outside world.

"Pin monitors all the equipment in this manor. As long as he doesn't want to, no one can overhear anything you say. In other words, as long as he wants, he can know everything."

Gray signaled Xin to find a place to sit down, and went to the small bar to pour two glasses of water.

"Thank you." Xin Xi took the water glass and continued the topic: "So you moved the place and turned off all the communication devices in a pretentious manner. In fact, it was just to hint to Pin and let him not eavesdrop?"

Gray shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal: "Because of his extraordinary talent, this child has no respect for the concept of 'privacy' since he was a child. If he wants to know something, he can understand it with his fingers, and even if it is difficult, he can figure it out with a little way. But He didn't understand that since some things were marked as 'private', they just didn't want more people to know. When he didn't pay much attention to hiding his identity, he suffered a lot because of his actions. This manor The system he built, if he wants to listen to us, there's nothing stopping him, but I hope he doesn't."

As soon as Gray finished speaking, a strong current surged through the ceiling lamp above their heads, which could adjust its brightness and color temperature according to the environment. It suddenly brightened like daylight and then slowly dimmed.

Xin Xi and him looked at each other, and the corners of their lips curled up knowingly.

It seems that while a certain young friend completely dispelled the idea of ​​eavesdropping, he also lost his temper.

However, this seems to mean that they can speak freely.

The brightest lamp in the living room lost its power, leaving only a few yellowed desk lamps around.

Gray's light flaxen hair was bleached into pure gold under the light, matching his golden and brown eyes of the same color, it was really dazzling, like the charming prince described in fairy tales.

Xin Xi couldn't help thinking: With Ewen Gray's family background and living environment, what kind of girl has never seen since she was a child, why would she like me?He doesn't look like someone with a "Cinderella complex", and taking a step back, Xin Xi is not a Cinderella who is guarded by a fairy godmother and will be waiting to fall in love with a prince.

"Well... When you like a girl, what do you like?" Xin Xi asked out of curiosity.

"Are you referring to you?" Gray obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question. After all, she looked so serious downstairs just now that she didn't look like she would ask emotional gossip.

"Not necessarily. I mean... a general term, roughly similar to the concept of 'ideal type': long or short hair, tall or short, lively or stable personality... What kind of girl do you prefer?"

"This is the question you want to exchange with me?" Gray lowered his eyelids and chuckled. Before she could answer, he paused and continued: "It's hard to explain things like personal preferences. Especially when you already have a sweetheart After that, when it comes to the general concept of "ideal type", it is difficult to give a specific reason. At least for me, if you ask me this question, then I will only assume the appearance of my sweetheart, and she will Becoming the only dream girl I can describe."

The man lightly pushed down his glasses, raised his eyes to meet Xin Xi's gaze, and said again: "Hmm... so I can only answer this question now: I like a girl like you, who is exactly like you. "

Xin Xi was originally just a random chat on a whim, but being treated so sincerely by him made the person who asked the question a little at a loss.

According to Xin Xi's previous attitude in dealing with this kind of thing, when encountering such a situation, they usually deal with it with a haha, but this time the opponent's attitude is too frank, one straight ball after another, and now she is no longer willing to fool around like before .

She raised her head slightly, her fluffy brown hair shook her head twice, and after finishing her words in her head, she slowly said: "Well, although I did ask just out of curiosity, there is no specific meaning, but now maybe We need to talk about it openly and honestly. Since we have reached a consensus that we are not dwelling on the previous unpleasant incident, it is okay to talk about emotional issues now."

Xin leaned closer to Gray, and continued: "You said you liked me, I understand. But I don't have the need or idea of ​​'establishing a romantic relationship' for the time being. This is not a polite rejection. I don't hate it. You, even occasionally have an inexplicable feeling for you, but it is limited to this. Dating, cultivating a tacit understanding, understanding and accepting each other's living habits, establishing a romantic relationship... these processes need to be spent Energy and emotion are things that I can’t give at the moment. In our lives, giving and getting love is an eternal topic, but since it appears as a multiple-choice question, we must be mentally prepared to be excluded, right? "

She threw out a long paragraph, deliberately not looking at Gray's expression, her voice paused for three seconds, she took a breath, and then said: "Maybe in the future... We have a saying in China called 'the future is long', if you can understand this meaning, and still like my words at that time. I will not hesitate...to hug you."

She obviously lacked confidence, her voice became smaller and smaller, and the last half of the sentence was like a mosquito screeching. Although Gray could hear it clearly, he always suspected that it was his hallucination.

So he subconsciously blurted out: "What?"

Want to make sure.

"It's nothing... who knows what will happen next." Xin Xi shook his head, trying to get rid of his sentimentality.She switches the subject quickly: "Let's talk about what we need to talk about now. How much do you know about Pin?"

Hearing Pin's name, Gray's slimy little thoughts immediately tightened up, replaced by a sense of vigilance, his eyes became sharper than before: "What do you mean?"

"What he's trying to do is very dangerous. I worry about him. I don't care how powerful and skilled he is. In my eyes, he is just a teenager who has not yet turned 20. You and I have experienced puberty, We all know that at this age, it is easy to get confused or go astray. I don't know the purpose of taking him in here, and I don't care. But since you have given him rich conditions, you must at least be responsible for confirming his There is no problem with the direction of life."

Gray took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and said in a low voice: "I have no other purpose in taking him in. Pin is my sister's child. In other words, I am Pin's uncle."

"The Gray family has an unspeakable past..."

When Xin Xi heard the words "hard to say", he was about to interrupt him in an appropriate way, but he waved his hand as a gesture of understanding, and continued: "It's okay, it's okay to tell you. My sister Eve Gray fell in love with a war correspondent when she was young, and family objections prompted her to break up with the family and elope with the man. She was never heard from for years. We thought she had found love and was doing well, but it wasn't. My sister She was actually abandoned by that man in a war-torn third world country, and it was too late when we got the news, before we had time to take her home. She died in a war-torn refugee area.

"However, we heard that she left behind a two-year-old child. But the child disappeared after the mother's funeral was arranged. We used a lot of resources and tried all the ways we could think of to find him, but we couldn't find him. Until Four years ago, he tried to hack into GregTech's core program to no avail. After that, he took the initiative to contact me, and only then did I hear about him.

"I... At that time, I felt like I was dreaming. Although his appearance almost copied the appearance of that man, the temperament he exuded was the same as the elder sister in my memory. I saw his black eyebrows that did not belong to our family. When I flashed the same look as me and my sister, I immediately understood that the painful nightmare that enveloped my family was over. My parents and I both want to give him the best, whether it is to make up for it or owe it, he deserves it We gave him everything. . . He just didn't want to, he said he just wanted a sanctuary away from the crowds, so I put him here, he had everything he needed. Pin never told me about his His real name also doesn’t accept the name we gave him, he said he is Pin, the pervasive needle, the first electronic code before communication begins, and the reference of all virtual reality.”

Xin Xi noticed that Gray started rubbing his fingers again and again.

At the end of the conversation, he sighed and said, "I don't know what he is doing now, but since you mentioned it to me, I will pay attention."
