Tentative

Sure enough, when they arrived at the house in the suburbs, they only saw the servants making breakfast.The servant's surname is Liu, in her 40s, she used to work in the Shen family, she was a fairly safe aunt.Seeing Shen Yizhuo coming back, Aunt Liu immediately said: "Madam is still resting, has sir had breakfast?"

"Let's do a little, two people, this is my wife's brother." Shen Yizhuo introduced.

Aunt Liu saw Qu Zhe behind him, and Qu Zhe nodded to her: "Hello."

"Okay, it will be done right away, do you need to wake up your wife?"

"Need not."

Qu Zhe stood behind him uncomfortably, as if Shen Yizhuo was going to stand there forever if he didn't speak.Shen Yizhuo had already walked to the sofa and sat down, and said to him, "Sit."

"Thank you."

Maybe Shen Yizhuo woke up too early, and it might take a while to watch the movement in the kitchen.He took out a collection of poems from under the coffee table, handed it to him and said, "Look at this to pass the time."

Qu Zhe didn't answer, but instead said: "I don't like reading poetry."

"You don't have to do this, it's just reading." Shen Yizhuo frowned slightly, obviously unhappy.

Qu Zhe didn't seem to notice his unhappiness, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, smiled and said to Shen Yizhuo: "I really don't like reading poetry, I prefer to read online novels to pass the time, it will be more interesting."

It was rare for him to say a long sentence, no matter from the expression or the tone, there was no disguise, as if this was him.Shen Yizhuo threw the collection of poems on the tea table, and said in a deep voice, "Then you can do whatever you want."

So the two looked at their mobile phones, the atmosphere was silent and awkward, and neither of them spoke.It wasn't until Aunt Liu greeted them at the dining table to have breakfast that the two got up one after the other and walked towards the dining table.

On the table are two bowls of cold noodles, a plate of steamed dumplings, as well as vegetable porridge and cold dishes for porridge.

Shen Yizhuo liked to eat pasta since he was a child, and it was obviously made according to his taste.The two sat down, and Qu Zhe took a small bowl to serve himself porridge, and then slightly pushed out the cold noodles.

"Don't like cold noodles?" Shen Yizhuo asked.

Qu Zhe took a spoon and stirred the porridge in the bowl: "I don't eat pasta."

"But you used to eat it often."

Yes, Qu Zhe used to eat noodles with him often, but Shen Yizhuo thought that he also liked noodles, and Qu Zhe himself knew how hard noodles were for him.But now, he no longer needs to wrong himself, and live like the other person.He seemed to be muttering to himself, his voice was very small, and he said in a vague way: "... I actually hated eating noodles since I was a child, I couldn't swallow it, and every time I ate it, I would feel like throwing up."

After finishing speaking, Qu Zhe looked up at the other party's expression.

Shen Yizhuo's hand holding the chopsticks paused visibly, and then stirred the noodles again: "Oh, that's it."

It was just a simple breakfast, but it reminded Shen Yizhuo of many things invisibly.For example, Qu Zhe only reads poems and even recites them for him; another example is Qu Zhe doesn’t like noodles, but insists on eating noodles every morning because of him.The impression of wolfing down was actually to prevent myself from vomiting...how ironic.

Then there was nothing to say, until after breakfast, until Qu Xiaoyu got up and went downstairs, they didn't talk anymore.

After waiting until Qu Xiaoyu came down, she quickened her pace as soon as she saw Qu Zhe: "Brother."

"Xiaoyu, good morning."

"Good morning."

Shen Yizhuo's indifferent expression suddenly subsided, he smiled at her gently, and asked softly, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very good!" Seeing Qu Zhe as soon as she woke up put Qu Xiaoyu in a very good mood. She smiled sweetly, "Don't you need to go to the company today?"

"Go, but I'll send your brother over here first." He said, looking at Qu Zhe, maintaining the expression just now, "You can stay with Xiaoyu, call me if you need to go out, and I will Send a car over here."

"Go get busy, I just want to talk to my brother." Qu Xiaoyu said.

Qu Zhe looked down at her slightly, showing a kind of tenderness naturally.Shen Yizhuo didn't say any more, went upstairs and changed into a suit of formal clothes and went out.

Aunt Liu specially made another nutritious breakfast for Qu Xiaoyu, and she talked to Qu Zhe while eating.In the past, the siblings didn't talk that much, and Qu Zhe has always been a person who talks very little.Now is no exception, most of the time it is Qu Xiaoyu who is talking, and he responds or answers.

"These few years... have you been doing well?" Qu Xiaoyu naturally felt guilty when asked about the years of separation - in fact, the answer to this question is very clear, he has saved so much money in these few years To himself, how could he have a good life.

Qu Zhe seemed to see through her: "...you don't have to think too much, I'm doing fine."

"before……"

"The previous things are over, and I can rest assured that you are doing well now." Qu Zhe said, "Is he treating you well?"

"Him?" Qu Xiaoyu was stunned before he could fully enter Mrs. Shen's role, and then realized that Qu Zhe was talking about Shen Yizhuo, so he waved his hand and said, "Yizhuo is very good to me, don't worry. "

"Just be nice to you."

"Have you always been alone..."

"I lived with my friends before." Qu Zhe said.

"That money..." Qu Xiaoyu said suddenly, "I don't even use it, you can spend it yourself... Actually, I don't need that much money, and... I only have you as my relative, I hope you are doing well. "

Qu Zhe didn't expect that Qu Xiaoyu didn't use the money, he was a little surprised, and then said: "Then it's my brother's dowry for my sister... I have money, don't worry."

"Then are you going to find a job here?"

"Ah."

"Actually, you don't have to. Yizhuo's financial strength is quite..." "You don't have to worry about me. You can concentrate on taking care of yourself and your children, and I will stay with you."

The seven-year gap is not fake, no matter how much Qu Xiaoyu wants to apologize to him, admit his mistakes, and try to restore this devastated family relationship, the conversation between her and Qu Zhe still has an inexplicable sense of alienation.But this is unavoidable, seven years is enough time for one person to become another person, even if they have the same blood on their bodies, it is difficult to resist the change of time.

Yue Mo realized that this strangeness made Qu Xiaoyu feel disappointed, Qu Zhe suddenly said: "Brother will never blame my sister, don't think too much... I will find a job in the future, and then... I will come to accompany you every weekend. how are you."

"……it is good."

Qu Xiaoyu didn't have much pregnancy reaction yet, he was very energetic, and after breakfast he dragged Qu Zhe to watch TV together.Those topics were deliberately suppressed from the bottom of her heart, and she talked about what she saw and heard in school from time to time, some interesting things, Qu Zhe listened softly from the side, very quiet, but made her very satisfied.

Shen Yizhuo has been restless in the company.He always felt that Qu Zhe would leave quietly again, for example, while he was in the company now.If he said he was busy with something, Qu Xiaoyu would certainly not restrict him... There are too many ways to leave him.

By the time the work at hand was finished, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.If it was Shen Yizhuo in normal times, he would probably get rid of the things that were not so urgent but still on the agenda. It would not be too much to say that he is a workaholic.But today, Shen Yizhuo took his belongings, told his secretary to call something, and left the company in a hurry.

When he got home, he had already heard the sound of the piano before he entered the door.There is a white grand piano near the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Shen Yizhuo has no knowledge in this area, and this piano was specially bought for Qu Xiaoyu.To say it hurts her, it's better to say it's mixed with acting elements, let Shen Guyu know that he cares about this girl, and let Qu Xiaoyu know that he is good to him.

After meeting Qu Xiaoyu, he has always maintained the role of a considerate and gentle brother. In fact, after a long time, he doesn't know how much of himself is real and how much is fake.

He opened the door and went in. Sure enough, it was Qu Xiaoyu sitting in front of the piano, his slender fingers fluttering on the black and white keys. He couldn't say how well he played, but he could play it after all.And Qu Zhe stood aside, looking down at her playing the piano seriously.

Shen Yizhuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his steps were so light that neither of them noticed that he was back.Aunt Liu happened to pass by and saw him coming back and was about to say hello, Shen Yizhuo made a silent gesture, nodded to her, and signaled her not to disturb him.

After the song was over, Qu Xiaoyu turned his head to look at Qu Zhe very happily: "How is it? Does it sound good?"

"Sounds good, very powerful." Qu Zhe nodded, with a relaxed expression that Shen Yizhuo had never seen before.

Yes, he had hardly seen Qu Zhe relaxed.Qu Zhe is depressed in front of him, and Qu Zhe is also depressed in front of others. Repression seems to be synonymous with Qu Zhe. In the past, he would never have thought that Qu Zhe could show such an expression—the corners of his mouth slightly raised, smiling It's not obvious, but the eyes are gentle.There was still some distance between them, but Shen Yizhuo seemed to be able to see every detail of him clearly.

Those parts that are invisible to the naked eye will be made up by the brain.

At least Qu Zhe hasn't planned to leave yet, but it's not too bad.Shen Yizhuo thought so, and then said: "It's great."

His voice immediately attracted the attention of the two, and Qu Xiaoyu looked at him; "You are back, are you busy today?"

"Come back to accompany you." Shen Yizhuo smiled faintly and walked towards them.

Qu Zhe backed away subconsciously, watched Shen Yizhuo walk to Qu Xiaoyu's side, and then gently stroked her hair, so natural and appropriate.

After he said a few words to Qu Xiaoyu, he looked at Qu Zhe again: "Let's go out for dinner together tonight."

Qu Zhe was about to refuse, but Shen Yizhuo lowered his head and said to Qu Xiaoyu, "...what do you want to eat?"

"I..." Qu Xiaoyu thought seriously for a moment, "I want to eat hot pot with clear soup."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Shen Yizhuo asked Qu Zhe for his opinion, and of course he would not refuse Qu Xiaoyu's invitation.The three of them went out together, and Shen Yizhuo was driving. No matter on the road or at the dinner table, Qu Xiaoyu kept talking to Qu Zhe.Just such a day can't make up for the lost years at all. Qu Zhe will respond to her, but more importantly, he will look at her speaking with soft eyes.

In this way, Shen Yizhuo looked more like an outsider.

Apart from asking for their opinions when necessary, he hardly spoke to him, but just sat quietly beside Qu Xiaoyu and took care of her.

"Brother, you should just live in Yizhuo's empty house. Renting a house is a waste of money." Qu Xiaoyu said.

She was asking Qu Zhe what kind of job he was going to find next, but in fact, she was thinking that Shen Yizhuo could help him, not to work so hard.Shen Yizhuo understood the meaning of the words, and Qu Zhe naturally understood, but before Shen Yizhuo opened his mouth, he cleverly said that he had made the plan and there was no need to worry.

When Qu Zhe heard this sentence, he was taken aback, but still wanted to refuse.Shen Yizhuo, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said: "Yes, the location over there is good, it's convenient to go anywhere, so don't rent a house."

He said it very naturally, as if he was really considering Qu Zhe's convenience, not anything else.

Qu Xiaoyu was here, and Qu Zhe had to pretend to be a stranger who only met Shen Yizhuo a few times. If there was no definite explanation for the kindness of "brother-in-law", it would not be so easy to refuse.

He wanted to argue that he had a place to live, but Shen Yizhuo continued skillfully: "It will be very convenient for me to pick you up and accompany Xiaoyu. My company is nearby."

"That's right, it's okay, Yizhuo doesn't live there often, right." She said with a smile.

Qu Xiaoyu always thought that Shen Yizhuo lived in Shen's family, and she was completely unaware of the complicated background relationship of their family.

Having said that, there is no way to refuse anymore, Qu Zhe nodded, and said softly: "Okay, don't worry about me and me, just concentrate on taking care of yourself."

"I have you to take care of me, and Yizhuo." Qu Xiaoyu said, a little sentimental, "I am very content and happy now."
