like drinking ice

I was sitting in my father's study room for a while. There was a fireplace and a carpet in the study room. I was so lazy that I read only half a book in the afternoon. When Zhu Rong left his study, he raised his head and met me.

The face is exactly the same as Zheng Ao's, but it is much more mature. Because he likes to laugh, there are some fine lines at the corners of the eyes, but even these wrinkles are perfect. Wearing a slim coat, he is tall and slender, with a narrow neckline. Fluffy dark blue fox fur, it was snowing outside, and there was a little snow on his shoulders, which made him a little popular, because his whole body was like a work of art displayed in a museum.

He saw me, but was not surprised, and nodded.

I watched Zheng Yehu's back disappear at the door of Li Zhurong's study.

When I was young, there were many guests at home, Xia Chen who was very friendly to children, and Lu Feixia who was not in good health but liked to watch us play - I remember that he looked very good-looking when he was not sick, and this is even a child Zheng Yehu couldn't figure out his logic.

I know he is very smart.You can tell what we are doing at a glance, and you can even figure out the ins and outs of a question. When I was a child, Li Xiu was not afraid of anything, but he was a little scared of him, even though he always had a smile on his face.

He is Zheng Ao's father, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, although he has always been said to be his nephew.To be honest, I never understood why the Zheng family would tell such a superfluous lie.

Li Xiu was not at home, and my dad was feeling a little uncomfortable. Li Zhurong and Zheng Yehu were chatting in the study, and the dinner was brought in.The housekeeper meant to set a table for me alone in the restaurant. I thought it was a bit extravagant, so I told the housekeeper, "No, I'll find something to eat when I'm hungry at night, just warm a pot of porridge."

After I took a shower, I was going to read some books and go to bed. I went downstairs to the study, and I was going to get back the unfinished book. I ran into Zheng Yehu in the living room.

He had already taken off the overcoat, and was sitting on the sofa wearing the clothes inside, looking at the things in a box. He looked so much like Zheng Ao.

"Ah, Xu Lang is here." Zheng Yehu stopped me and smiled at me: "I'm going to ask the housekeeper to find you."

"Is Uncle Zheng looking for something for me?" I didn't look at his face, I just lowered my head.

He didn't answer, but handed the box to the housekeeper. The box was dark red, with many blessings printed on it, and it looked very old.

"Let's go to the study."

Compared with Li Xiu and Zheng Ao who fought since they were young, the relationship between Li Zhurong and Zheng Yehu is much more relaxed, and they are both friendships that can expose their backs to each other.Zheng Yehu took me to Li Zhurong's study room. Like the master, he kicked away the uncomfortable boss chair, dragged the cushioned Zen chair from the corner, and leaned on it lazily.

The butler is out.

"Sit down," he greeted me like a master, "Don't be restrained, don't care about etiquette."

I sat down across from him.

"I heard that you and Xiao Ao had a falling out?" He asked bluntly before I could sit still.

"Yes." Since he knows, I don't need to hide it.I'm not confident enough to think that Zheng Yehu will come to help Zheng Ao as a lobbyist. Zheng Ao is too lazy to come here, let alone his father.

"Xiao Ao is really troublesome." He leaned on the back of the chair, propped up a hand, and put his index finger against his temple. People from the Zheng family were indeed a bit feminine, even their fingers were the same.

I waited quietly for him to speak.

Zheng Yehu, to put it mildly, is unpredictable, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense.To put it bluntly, he would be neurotic. He had a brilliant record of tricking Xia Zhifei and Xia Chen into the game, and he also had a time when he made everyone panic, but it turned out to be just a joke.You never know what he will do next second.

He is too smart, you can only wait passively.

He tilted his head, as if thinking for a while.

"What a young man." He asked me: "You have broken up with Xiao Ao now, have you made up your mind?"

"I think he is too smart, he should play with someone who is smarter." I thought about it and replied.

I think Zheng Yehu understands what I mean.

How can I be worthy of such a smart and good son he taught.Their Zheng family has such good genes, and they should go to the world. We ordinary people can only look up.

Zheng Yehu laughed again.

"Most things in this world are not solved by cleverness." He said, "I also lived for many years before I understood this truth. Xiao Ao still doesn't understand it now."

I don't want to sit here with him and discuss his son's education.If I could, I wouldn't want to hear that name either.

"Then I hope Uncle Zheng will teach him well." I was ready to end this inexplicable conversation.

"There are some things that cannot be taught. He has to wait for him to learn the lesson. After he has tasted the pain, he will naturally." Zheng Yehu looked at me, probably seeing my impatience, and chuckled lightly. After a while, he said: "After all, Xiao Ao is my own son, and he really resembles me in this way."

I was completely stunned there.

Although this is a well-known fact, no one dares to tell this fact in front of Zheng Yehu.

He said it himself today.

"Why, surprised?" Zheng Yehu still had that leisurely look: "Don't you all know about this? Xiao Ao looks so much like me, anyone with eyes can tell."

I opened my mouth in vain, God knows I just wanted to go downstairs to find a book to read and sleep, but I never thought of witnessing the family ethics drama of the Zheng family.

"But, didn't you all say..." I thought about my words: "You are saying that you belong to your nephew."

"Because I want to deceive people." Zheng Yehu's attitude was relaxed, but I sensed a little danger. He smiled and asked me: "Do you know who I want to deceive?"

I grabbed the arm of the chair and stood up.

"I think, this is not my business..." No matter how stupid I am, I will not stay here at this time: "Uncle Zheng, I think I should go back to sleep."

"When Xiao Ao was young, he used to run to Li's house and fight with Li Xiu until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen." Zheng Yehu said unhurriedly from behind: "I thought he liked to be beaten, so he came to accompany him. play with his friends."

I stopped.Not because of his words, but because of the sense of "Zheng Ao used to accompany you when I was a child, now you have to take care of his family affairs" in his words.

"Uncle Zheng, that little Ao you mentioned started treating me like a monkey when he grew up." I turned around and asked him, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, do you Zheng family members really have a heart?" ?Why do you manipulate others like pawns on a chessboard when others trust you with all their heart?"

I trust Zheng Ao so much, but he has been hanging on me for so many years.

Lin Wei and Zheng Yehu had been away for more than 20 years, but Zheng Yehu gave birth to a son outside, and brought him back in his arms, and told everyone with a shy face that it was just his nephew.

I used to think the Li family was indifferent and bad-tempered, but now I think the Zheng family is the scariest.

But after all, he is the elder who watched me grow up.

That was the most outrageous thing I could say, I thought he was going to be mad, but he just smiled and sat there.

The same eyebrows and eyes as Zheng Ao, the same stature as Zheng Ao, but there is something else in his eyes, I can't understand it, but I think it should be sad.

Zheng Yehu said: "The most stupid mistakes in the world are often made by the smartest people. Because stupid people can't do such a big damage. So the Zheng family finally suffers on their own."

When he said that, I couldn't answer.I have never been able to chase and fight hard in my life. Once others start to be weak, I feel that I can stop.

Zheng Yehu looked at my silence and smiled again.

"You are really similar to Teacher Xu, Xu Lang." He suddenly sighed: "Xiao Zhe is too, and I am too. We all seem to fall in love with this kind of person, who is gentle and kind, and has integrity from the bottom of his bones. Have you seen Is there Wei Lin? Lin Wei is also this kind of person, no matter how much he is deceived and hurt, he still looks righteous and will not be affected by those dark things. It seems silly, but the reason why this world is so beautiful is probably It's because of that stupidity."

I have met Lin Wei, he is a very tall and straight soldier, the kind of standard soldier in the book.But he is actually a very good person. Every time children fight, he grabs one with each hand and separates them.He is very upright and does not allow children to swear.He doesn't have any entertainment in his life. During the Chinese New Year, he went to Zheng's house to pay New Year's greetings. I saw their room. His personal items were all neatly arranged, and the books he read were also about military affairs.He just couldn't do anything about Zheng Yehu.

Zheng Yehu said so affectionately, but gave birth to a child behind his back.

Zheng Yehu probably saw what I was thinking.

"Xu Lang, you really hate people lying to you."

Ask knowingly.

"If something happens, the whole world thinks it is so, and it seems to be so. But Xiao Ao told you, don't trust others, trust him, can you trust him without hesitation? Then put Bury this matter in your heart and never ask about it?"

"It's not what the whole world thinks now, but Zheng Ao said it himself, I personally..." I was about to refute him, but a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I looked at him in shock.

Zheng Yehu sat there with a bitter smile on his lips, looking at me.

I'm already intimidated by what I figured out.

What he was talking about was not Zheng Ao, but himself.
