Xiao Ke opened the door and came in and saw me rubbing my eyes. He said softly, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? An uncle came to see you. He was also a good friend of your father before. Go out and meet him?"

What good friend from the past, if it wasn't for Xiao Ke's sake, I would have ignored him. Seeing what he said just now, did I deliberately make Xiao Ke feel guilty and anxious when I went to South America?Although I don't fully understand the affairs of Xiao Ke's company, but I know Xiao Ke so well, why don't I know that he may not be easier than me when making a decision?He naturally has his last resort, but even if he knows his last resort, can he change the ending of his decision to get married?

Although I was complaining, I still nodded. Xiao Ke came over and wiped my sweat, took my hand and went out. Guan Linfeng saw me, his eyes were wide open: "Xiao Ke... this is Lin Guansheng." His adopted son?" His face was full of you teasing me, I know he, like Xiao Ke's mother, must have quickly made up in his mind that Lin Guansheng gave birth to his own son with someone else, Xiao Ke felt guilty for nothing, so wronged and pitiful story.

Xiao Ke glanced at him, and said coldly: "This is Uncle Guan Linfeng, you can ask him for a meeting gift."

Guan Linfeng laughed twice, and finally resumed the normal channel, and came to talk to me: "What's the kid's name? I'm Guan Linfeng. From now on, your uncle Xiao treats you badly, just call me!" He took out a small box and handed it to me: "It's a pen, are you going to school soon? This is for you."

I despised him in my heart, but I still took it, opened it politely and glanced at it, guessing that the price is expensive, and then said thank you, Xiao Ke patted my head and said: "Let's go home, I will make some Good food for you to try."

Guan Linfeng exclaimed: "Can I have a meal?" While winking at me: "Your Uncle Xiao's craftsmanship is amazing!"

I was full of reluctance, this kid used to find excuses to make light bulbs with us, and his poisonous tongue was so irritating and spicy, but now he came again, Xiao Ke refused as if he knew my heart: "No, Xiao Wu just came to China , it will take some time to get used to it, and I will invite you again when I have a chance."

I breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ke hugged me and strode towards the elevator.

Back at Xiao Ke's apartment, there was already a nanny there, who should have been arranged by the Xiao family. She saw Xiao Ke and said, "The dishes have been washed and the rice is steamed...that's... Aunt Zhang They called over there and said they have something to tell you tonight, so you can go back to have dinner."

Xiao Ke frowned, didn't say anything, took off his coat, and said to me: "You watch TV first, it will be fine soon."

The newness of the kitchen utensils shows that they have hardly been used, but he wears an apron very smoothly, lighting a fire and cooking, with a skillful and elegant posture, just like in the rental house without air conditioning, he was sweating profusely, but he would never Shirtless and out of style, he stood in the hot and cramped kitchen and cooked for me.

Longjing prawns, vegetable meatballs in clear soup, fried cabbage with shrimp skin, and lily with bamboo shoots in red oil. These are all my favorites in the past. Just because I don’t like meat in summer, he checked the recipe and carefully mixed meat into the vegetarian dishes. , but not greasy, nutritious, with scientific dishes, my tongue seems to have awakened a long memory, the soup of vegetable meatballs must be the nanny boiled chicken soup during the day, skimmed and skimmed oil, and then used to cook shepherd’s purse meatballs, and bamboo shoots in red oil, in fact, my favorite is bamboo shoots mixed with raw walnuts, but the walnuts have not yet come to fruit, it must be fresh green walnuts just picked, peeled and cleaned The sweet, crisp and tender walnut meat mixed with green bamboo shoots is the most common dish on the dinner table every September after the green walnuts are set. The walnuts are held in the hands non-stop, the cabbage is always just broken but not too old, the shrimp skin is just right, and the Longjing shrimp reminds people of the elastic shrimp and tea fragrance. Qingyuan taste.

In fact, it's no wonder that Guan Linfeng wants to stand by Xiao Ke's side. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Ke really doted on me back then.I can understand the feeling Xiao Ke said during the day, the details of life that were once so sweet and vivid in the past, after everything is over, how violent the poison attack will be to erode the heart, because in the past five years, I have not had a moment It doesn't feel that way.

I washed my hands and sat down, Xiao Ke filled a bowl of vegetable and meatball soup for me, and then said softly: "Drink less soup, just a few mouthfuls, otherwise I won't be able to eat."

I tasted it, my eyes were very hot, and I was still eating hard. Xiao Ke also filled a bowl of soup and ate silently. When the phone rang, he picked it up, and an eager and fierce female voice from Subei could be heard on the other end. It was Xiao Ke's mother. He frowned and listened for a while, then said, "I'll be there in a while." Then he hung up.

I glanced at him, Xiao Ke picked up a bamboo shoot with chopsticks for me, and said in a deep voice: "Eat well, I have something to do at home, I'll accompany you after eating, and you can take a bath and sleep at home."

I think it's probably because of Xiao Ke's divorce.

After dinner, Xiao Ke told the nanny a few words, let me take a bath and go to bed early by myself, and then went out.

Xiao Ke didn't come back very late at night. He brushed the tablet on the bed until his eyelids were heavy, and fell asleep unconsciously. In a daze, I knew that the nanny came in after washing the dishes and cleaning up. lights.

The next day, I still woke up in Xiao Ke's arms. In a daze, I rubbed against his neck to avoid the glare of the morning light, but he stretched out his hand and took me deeper into his arms as before, and obviously I became smaller. His body woke me and him at the same time, our eyes met, and I was sure I saw pain in his freshly awake eyes.

I understand this kind of shock, just like when I went to buy fruit one day, I subconsciously picked Xiao Ke’s favorite cherries and dragon fruit. When I checked out, I suddenly remembered that Xiao Ke and I had nothing to do. The supermarket was bustling with people coming and going, but I stood alone with red eye circles.

Xiao Ke didn't say a word about what happened at night, and still took me to the office. When I went back at night, I found that the room next to his bedroom had been refurbished as a children's room. My favorite light blue ocean wallpaper and beige wool carpet in the past are matched with a complete set of children's furniture such as beds, wardrobes, desks, and toy corners, and replaced with soft cartoon lights. The whole room is warm and comfortable, and it saves you from waking up every day I have always been in Xiao Ke's arms, and I feel uncomfortable, but having my own independent space is also convenient for me to do my own things.

There is a height ruler on the side of the children's bed. When I saw it, my heart moved, and I wondered whether I would grow up. If I could grow up... Is there a chance to grow taller... My height used to be a pain in my heart. Xiao Ke is 1.8 meters five. I stood beside him and lowered my head... I quietly leaned over, measured it with my hands, and then went to check his height. I was frowning when I suddenly saw someone at the door from the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw Xiao Ke looking at me, his face turned red. For some reason, I felt ashamed. Smiling: "I'll measure it for you." While taking a watercolor pen from a nearby bookshelf, he bent slightly, stroked it on the top of my head, and told me solemnly: "When Xiao Wu arrived at Uncle Xiao's house, it was 1.2 meters long. It is." He lowered his head and marked the time next to the mark.

I looked at the mark speechlessly, thinking that I would check the height of a six-year-old to qualify later. Xiao Ke saw me in a daze, and chuckled again: "If you want to grow taller, drink more milk, you will grow taller in the future." Be as tall as your uncle."

Feeling awkward with his coaxing tone, I turned around and went to the bathroom.
