very partial

Seeing that Ji Xia's self-satisfaction in the past few days was finally punished a little, Jiang Wanqiu was also in a happy mood.

She could feel the half-hidden door behind her being gently pushed open, and at the same time Jiang Lin poked her head out from the door, she stepped forward and reached out to hold the girl's hand: "Dad, I have a friend." Come to pay New Year's greetings."

Jiang Wanqiu answered his father's question casually, acting very calmly, but the smile on his face never faded.

On the contrary, Ji Xia's body was obviously a little stiff, especially when Jiang Wanqiu reached out to hold him, he would unconsciously feel guilty.

That kind of feeling is like a thief who sneaked into someone's house and secretly took away the treasures of the house and was suddenly discovered by the owner - she is the thief, and Jiang Wanqiu is obviously the "treasure".

There is no father who does not love his daughter, let alone such an excellent daughter as Jiang Wanqiu.

"Since we're friends, let's come in. Why are you standing at the door talking? It's so cold." Hearing his daughter's explanation, Jiang Lin didn't have any doubts. He bypassed Jiang Wanqiu and looked at Ji Xia who was behind him.

When he saw a girl standing behind Jiang Wanqiu, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Lin didn't know what kind of mentality he was in. On the one hand, he felt that it was time for his daughter to talk about friends seriously, and on the other hand, he felt that no man in this world could be worthy of his daughter.

"Come in, it's warm in the room." He smiled kindly, and put aside his attention.

"Ah, good uncle."

The little fox who was baring his teeth and claws in front of Jiang Wanqiu just now hid his tail and turned into a harmless little white rabbit.

Compared with the "smooth" comfort that people can feel on Ji Zhengyuan, this kind of comfort on Jiang Lin is very natural, and it can only be exuded by people who have nothing to do with the real world. After all, Jiang Lin has been traveling for many years. .

When Ji Xia heard that Jiang Wanqiu's father was at home, she didn't intend to stay here for a long time, but now that Jiang Lin has opened his mouth to invite her in, the kindness is hard to refuse, so she had to show her most well-behaved appearance and leave a good impression on others. impression.

As soon as he entered the door and sat down on the sofa, Jiang Lin went into the kitchen to make a few cups of hot tea and serve them out.

Although they have been traveling around the world all year round, the traditional customs engraved in their bones have not changed. Making a cup of hot tea for the guests who come to the door is the basic etiquette preserved by their generation.

Ji Xia reached out to take the hot tea, and didn't forget to say thank you at the same time: "Uncle looks so young, shouldn't he be younger than my dad?"

She asked exaggeratedly on purpose, in fact, no matter how old people are, they like to hear this kind of saying that they look young, whether Jiang Lin eats it or not, it is true.

Sure enough, when Jiang Lin heard what his daughter's friend said, he immediately became happy.

"Really?" he asked, "How old is your father?"

He thought that Ji Xia looked quite young and should be several years younger than Jiang Wanqiu, but he didn't expect that after getting the answer, he made a rough estimate and found that he was eight or nine years younger. He didn't know where his daughter met such a kid.

"My dad is 51 years old this year, your mouth is too sweet."

Sitting at the side, Jiang Wanqiu heard the conversation between the two and began to purse her lips and smirk, mercilessly exposing Ji Xia's purpose of "flattering".

As far as she knew, Ji Xia's father was only 41 or 30 years old at most. Men don't look old when they get old. If you don't explain it deliberately, people will believe that Ji Zhengyuan is in his [-]s.

But Jiang Wanqiu also knew that Ji Xia's flattery was just to make a good impression in front of her relatives.

He felt cute for a while, so he helped to round up the words in front of Jiang Lin: "But my father has left his business all these years and gone out to travel and relax. It's really nothing to worry about. It's normal to look young."

"That's right, that's what I mean." The girl quickly accepted Jiang Wanqiu's words.

The two of them sang together, which seemed to have coaxed Jiang Lin.

Soon, Ji Xia got into the mood and began to chat with Jiang Lin naturally. The two had a very pleasant chat, and they also asked some unimportant questions during the casual conversation.

"Is uncle coming back for the New Year? Where are you going to go after the New Year?" The girl suddenly asked.

She is more concerned about this issue, because it is related to whether she and Jiang Wanqiu can date without any scruples in the next year.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin's answer surprised both of them.

"I don't want to play any more. I have been to many places, big and small, and many places abroad are not necessarily better than our country. Besides, it is too much for my body to run around when I am old." Speaking of this, he was moved. , moving her eyes to Jiang Wanqiu, "Wanwan's mother left early, and I haven't fulfilled my father's responsibility to accompany her well all these years."

"Hopefully it's not too late."

Jiang Wanqiu was a little at a loss when his father suddenly showed a warm side to him.

She thought that the identity of Jiang Lin's "father" had long been buried in the soil with the death of his mother when he was young, but she didn't expect to feel it again after many years.

"I don't have any opinion on what you want to do." Jiang Wanqiu answered uncomfortably, not wanting to continue this "warm" topic.

The father's love that she missed when she was young seems a bit superfluous to make up for it now.

Fortunately, Jiang Lin had no intention of continuing to be sensational.

The brightly lit house, the warm space, Ji Xia's liveliness and extroversion are very obvious at this time, she tried her best to enliven the atmosphere, trying to make the topic turn to other things quickly, anything is fine.

I don't know if Jiang Lin sensed her thoughts, and indeed opened up a new topic.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and I haven't heard you mention Wan Wan. Have you met any boys who are close to your eyes in recent years?" Jiang Lin asked suddenly. He still looked casual, and it seemed like he was asking casually.

This topic directly isolates Ji Xia, and her identity cannot interrupt at will.

"No, I have no plans to get married." Jiang Wanqiu could see through his father's intentions at a glance, and was straightforward.

After finishing speaking, she stood up directly from the sofa and found a suitable excuse to take Ji Xia out: "Dad, Ji Xia and I won't chat with you here anymore, the movie we bought for the Spring Festival will start later ... You can see if there is any fresh poop in Boob's litter box for her to shovel."

After giving Jiang Lin the task, Jiang Wanqiu took Ji Xia out.

The two entered the elevator in silence all the way, until the elevator door was closed to make sure that the conversation would not be accidentally overheard, Ji Xia said slowly: "Your father also cares about you."

"I know."

"Then you still let him shovel cat shit?" Ji Xia deliberately mentioned Jiang Wanqiu's "badness".

She found that sometimes Jiang Wanqiu's bad intentions were not aimed at herself alone. Just looking at the situation just now, she knew that such an "honor" was not unique to her.

"Shoveling cat poop is to contribute to the family. If you live with me in the future, you will also shovel poop for Boubo." Jiang Wanqiu turned around and winked at Ji Xia, as if she didn't intend to admit that she was doing something bad. .

At this point in the conversation, Ji Xia has basically escaped from the state of being "stuck" in front of Jiang Lin just now.

Hearing what Jiang Wanqiu said, she couldn't help but start dreaming about such a scene.

It seems that it is quite good.

From this point of view, shoveling cat feces does not seem to be a bad thing.

The elevator reached the first floor with a "ding" sound, and the two walked out of the elevator shoulder to shoulder, but when they opened the door and stepped on the stairs, the wind blowing in front of them made them shiver with cold.

Jiang Wanqiu naturally stretched out his hand to grab Ji Xia over, took Ji Xia's hand and put it in his pocket.

This movement is extremely smooth, as if it has been done countless times.

They walked closely together along the path in the community, keeping each other warm.

"Where are we going?" Ji Xia couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you just say that? Go to the movies, it's New Year's Eve."

"Would you like to watch a movie with me?"

While walking, Jiang Wanqiu turned her head to look at the girl beside her, only to see that Ji Xia's ears had been blown red by the wind for a while.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanqiu frowned slightly - if she had known this would happen, she should have driven out.

When I first left the house, I was in such a hurry that I didn't take the car keys, so I had to leave the community to take a taxi.

Ji Xia: "I just thought..."

"Think I'm talking casually?" Before the girl finished speaking, Jiang Wanqiu had already given the answer first.

Ever since the relationship was confirmed, Jiang Wanqiu felt that she seemed to be more and more familiar with Ji Xia, familiar with the meaning behind every little expression and movement of her, and familiar with what she thought in her heart, just like the other party hadn't finished talking to her just now. You already know what the second half of the sentence is.

I just don't know if Ji Xia is like this.

The ticket was bought long ago, so how could it be said casually on a whim?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanqiu took the lead to stop her forward steps, took out her hands from her warm pockets and covered the girl's frozen ears on both sides, warming her with the warmth of her palms.

Ji Xia suddenly felt that his ears were much more comfortable.

"Ji Xia, there is no 'casual talk' about what we want to do with you." Jiang Wanqiu's voice reached her ears together with the whirring of the wind, "Even if you don't come to me today, I will. Looking for you."

"Because, I will start to miss you too."

The branches on the side of the road were gently swayed by the wind, and the leaves rubbed against each other making a "rustling" sound. Ji Xia felt his heart skip a beat.

Today's sky was gloomy with the evil wind blowing, and there was no sunlight, but when she looked up, she felt that Jiang Wanqiu's eyes were still shining with a little light.

"What did you just say?" She blinked her eyes and asked again on purpose, "I don't seem to hear very clearly, can you say it again?"

True or false, no one knows.

Jiang Wanqiu stared at Ji Xia's eyes, was silent for two seconds, then withdrew his hand, turned his head to the girl's ear: "I said..."

Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of warmth in her breath, which was in stark contrast to the cold air outside.

Just when Ji Xia bent his eyes and was proud of his "little trick", Jiang Wanqiu swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

Seeing her unexpectedly, she opened her lips and bit Ji Xia's ear lightly, then quickly withdrew.

"I said... stealing a chicken won't cost you a lot of rice." Jiang Wanqiu took two steps back with her hands behind her back, looking at Ji Xia with a smile like this.

For a split second, it looks like nothing happened.

But some people were really moved because of this.
