to deceive

chopsticks, stood in the kitchen for a while before coming out, and saw Hou Chisu's diary open on the table when he passed the dining table.He reached out to take the diary, and saw that the opened page was full of dish names, and when he turned a few pages back, he still wrote the same content.Hou Shujian tore out the pages he wrote, then closed the book and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

After entering the bedroom, Hou Shujian didn't sit down in a hurry. She hadn't fully digested the meal she had just eaten and what she had just said.

He half opened the curtains of the bedroom, leaned in the darkness, and looked at the beam of light in front of him.Hou Chisu seemed to have a showdown with himself, but he didn't say anything about the things that made him feel guilty.

Making him mistakenly think that he likes Fang Meiche, and knowing his affection but keeping silent, and the two people's use of Fang Meiche, and the revenge they got in the end... Hou Chisuti didn't mention it.What Hou Chisu said at the dinner table was nothing more than to let himself pursue his own happiness without burden.

Although Hou Shujian said when rejecting Jiang Xiaoran, "Of course I will give whatever I want in return", but at that time he was just afraid that Jiang Xiaoran would tell Hou Chisu what he had said, and let Hou Chisu do something for him. Give in, not really want to make up for Hou Chisu completely according to his own ideas, even if the other party already knows.

But he no longer wanted Hou Chisu to make any concessions because of him.

The current state is actually no different from what Hou Shujian thought before.Hou Chisu said clearly that if Hou Shujian remained single, he would never be able to stop thinking about it.At this time, Hou Shujian, who couldn't accept Hou Chisu's favor, seemed to have no better choice than to find someone else to end his single status.

It was obviously supposed to be Hou Shujian's showdown, but the result was that the shackles he had put on him were removed.At this time, Hou Shujian suddenly realized that Hou Chisu could actually be called a competent brother, right?Although unreliable most of the time.

Hou Shujian took out his mobile phone from his pocket, what do you want to say to Jiang Xiaoran now?Without the major premise of remaining single, Hou Shujian suddenly realized that he did not intend to accept Jiang Xiaoran immediately after thinking about it.

In terms of reasons, Hou Shujian only felt that although his favorability for Jiang Xiaoran was not low, it was indeed not to the point of immediate contact, and Hou Shujian was not sure whether Jiang Xiaoran's favorability was due to the first unilateral meeting After the "meeting", he made it up by himself.

And Hou Shujian doesn't know how long Jiang Xiaoran's goodwill can last. Hou Shujian is not not confident, but worried that the other party thinks differently from himself.Hou Shujian is 28 years old. Although he is not old, his family situation is already very stable. If he wants to have an unstable relationship, it is better not to talk about it. His current idea is to find someone to spend the rest of his life with. According to Jiang Xiaoran's age, he can still try Talk about a few love affairs and find the one that suits you best.

What's more, Jiang Xiaoran is Hou Anchen's music teacher, even if they really got together and broke up, Hou Anchen would still be embarrassed.

There is also the last insignificant reason, which is...Hou Shujian felt that what he agreed to now really slapped him in the face.A few days ago, I swore to reject someone's confession, but turned around and ate everything I said.

Hou Shujian tapped on the phone, but still swiped open the lock screen.

After all kinds of things, all in all, I am now in a state where I can accept other people's pursuit (this sentence does not mean that I have promised you.

Hou Shujian looked at the message he sent to Jiang Xiaoran and felt ashamed of the mystery.

It's like something a junior high school student or a high school student would say when they're in a relationship... But it's all gone, and Hou Shujian doesn't plan to run away.

Well, don't escape.Hou Shujian threw the phone on the bed, sat down at the desk, opened the document, and started typing.

It didn't take long for Hou Chisu to come over.This time he knocked on the door first, Hou Shujian said "huh?" Hou Chisu pushed the door in and said, "I'm leaving."

The vacation will be closed tomorrow, and Hou Chisu's stay is already at his limit, if he stays for dinner, he will probably not arrive home until the next day.Hou Shujian stood up, "I'll take you... to the door."

"The gate of the community?"

"At the gate of the house. Your car is parked downstairs. Why should I take you to the gate of the community?"

"Then you might as well not send..."

Standing at the door, Hou Chisu suddenly asked, "Have you contacted Mr. Jiang?"

Hou Shujian asked back: "Why do you think I will contact Teacher Jiang?"

"That's the contact. Okay, I don't worry about the affairs of you young people anymore, so I will leave the stage calmly." Hou Chisu smiled as he spoke, and closed the door immediately without leaving time for Hou Shujian's complaints leave.

The young man is a ghost, and he is not a few minutes older than himself...Hou Shujian stared at the silent door, and when he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up a little.

Back in the bedroom, Hou Shujian looked at the mobile phone lying on the bed, and after a symbolic struggle, he picked it up.

No reply.Hou Shujian heaved a sigh of relief, then sighed again.It would be better to get a reply sooner, at least I don't have to worry about it like this.

... Codewords are the right way of life.Hou Shujian switched the phone from vibrate to sound, put the phone back to its original position, and sat down at the computer desk.

Time passed quickly, and although Hou Shujian still had his mobile phone in his mind, it didn't ring, so he slowly put on his earphones and put his heart into it.

Because he was wearing earphones, Hou Shujian didn't hear the door opening, it was Hou Anchen who yelled "I'm back".

But he hasn't cooked yet!Hou Shujian was taken aback when he realized it. He looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer, only to realize that the time was still very rich. Why did his son come back so early?

Wait... If Jiang Xiaoran sent his son back, would he follow him in?Originally, Hou Shujian planned to receive Jiang Xiaoran's reply in the afternoon, but now that Hou Anchen is at Jiang Xiaoran's house, he probably has no time to spare...so now Jiang Xiaoran is going to reply in person.

Hou Shujian was inexplicably nervous, got up, put the phone in his pocket, and opened the bedroom door.

Both Hou Anchen and Jiang Xiaoran entered the door. Seeing him coming out, Hou Anchen called out "Dad", and Jiang Xiaoran stood behind Hou Anchen with a smile on his face, "Mr. Hou."

"I'm back." Hou Shujian smiled and rubbed Hou Anchen's head, "Class starts tomorrow, have you packed everything that needs to be packed?"

Hou Anchen obediently went back to the room to pack up the things needed for class, Hou Shujian looked up at Jiang Xiaoran, and teased: "Hey, put away your expression, you are not tired of laughing so much all the time."

"Not tired. I'm very, very happy, Mr. Hou." Jiang smiled with his eyes crooked, "Mr. Hou, um, a letter?"

"Have you figured out the specific meaning of my words?" Hou Shujian laughed, always feeling that Jiang Xiaoran's mood seemed a little too high.

"In my opinion... it means that I have entered the assessment period." Jiang Xiaoran put away some smiles, and looked at Hou Shujian seriously.

"Actually, that's not what I meant." Hou Shujian also looked back at Jiang Xiaoran seriously, seeing Jiang Xiaoran's undisguised nervousness, he suddenly laughed, "But I suddenly think that the 'assessment period' you mentioned is not bad."

Hou Shujian thinks about it now, his initial meaning was also hypocritical, positioning himself in a state where he is single and his pursuit is not limited to a certain person, it seems to have forgotten his good feelings for Jiang Xiaoran.But in fact, his change seems to be only related to Jiang Xiaoran in the final analysis, and he sent a text message to Jiang Xiaoran immediately after making the decision. Doesn't it also mean that he actually values ​​​​the other party?

"So... is it possible to become a regular after this assessment period?" Jiang Xiaoran asked cautiously.

"Of course there is. But this assessment period is not unilateral, it is between us. If in further exchanges, you find that I think differently from you, it doesn't matter if you give up."

In fact, Hou Shujian still had doubts in his heart. After all, he was already a man with a ten-year-old child, and Jiang Xiaoran still had many better choices.During this assessment period, I also hope that Jiang Xiaoran can take a good look at his heart again. At the same time, Hou Shujian also hopes that this assessment period can make him feel more secure.

After hearing Hou Shujian's words, Jiang Xiaoran almost blurted out: "You don't need the assessment period." Seeing Hou Shujian's helpless expression, Jiang Xiaoran lowered his eyes, and said in silence for a moment: "I hope I can give you enough sense of security during the assessment period. Shu Jian, you are only four years older than me, not 14, and my age is not an advantage."

Hou Shujian looked at Jiang Xiaoran, "You can't get a sense of security from just a few words. But I will never reject you because of my age and family, so don't worry."

Jiang Xiaoran thought for a moment, then pouted with some dissatisfaction, "Then what reason do you have for rejecting me?"

Hou Shujian looked at Jiang Xiaoran's awkward expression, and felt that the other party was acting like a baby.Hou Anchen was not a child who could act like a baby since he was a child, so Hou Shujian looked at Jiang Xiaoran now, but he couldn't hold back his father's love. I can't refuse you."

As soon as the words fell, Hou Shujian heard Hou Anchen's voice, "Dad!" The little guy hurried to Hou Shujian's side, "You can just touch my head, why are you touching Teacher Jiang!"

Hou Shujian was seriously thinking about whether his son was jealous of his father or Mr. Jiang, so Hou Anchen muttered in a low voice: "Isn't touching the head something an adult does to a child..."

Oh
