After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

After Xiao Qianqian finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.

After all, the situation of grandpa and little grandpa is a bit special.

Xiao Qianqian was worried, would her careless words just go too far?

Xiao Qianqian glanced at the two people sitting across from her a little uneasy. The senior didn't seem to have heard what she said just now, and when she looked over, he had questioning eyes.

The senior's younger brother concentrated on eating breakfast without raising his head.

Neither of them paid attention to what she had just said.

Xiao Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, she was more or less embarrassed when she met Qiao Annian's gaze, she smiled embarrassedly at him, and quickly shook her head.

After the meal, Qiao Annian took the initiative to help clean up the table, but was kicked out by the two old people at the same time, and asked him to take He Nanlou for a stroll around.

"There are no high-rise buildings in the mountains, and there are no streets and markets. It is not as lively as the town, but the scenery is still very good. You can take the small buildings around and have a look. But it rained last night, and the sun hasn't come out yet. Don’t go where it’s too wet, the mountain roads are slippery.”

Qiao Annian had no choice but to take He Nanlou out.

When he came to the yard, Qiao Annian turned his head and asked the child, "Would you like to take a look around?"

"I want to go with you."

Qiao Annian laughed and teased him, "What do you mean you want to go with me? You don't want to go by yourself?"

"Ah."

"Success, let's go."

After walking out of the yard, Joannian stopped in his tracks, "Wait, I'm going to get the micro slip, you wait here for me."

The mountain scenery is the most beautiful after the rain.

Qiao Annian ran in, and when he came out, he had a micro slip in his hand.

He Nanlou took it naturally and straddled his shoulders.

Qiao Annian: "No, I can take it myself..."

He Nanlou put his arms on his shoulders, "Let's go."

Qiao Annian glanced at the hand on his waist.

Well, except for my heart beating a little faster and my face burning a bit, everything is fine.

well.

It rained heavily last night. In the sky, the clouds hadn't completely receded. The sun was like a shy little girl hiding in the clouds, revealing itself.

The mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, just like an ink painting.

Walk a few steps forward along the mountain road in front of the house, and you can hear the gurgling of spring water.

Birds chirped everywhere.

Not far away, there is a bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest makes rustling sounds, and the sound is connected into pieces, like waves surging.

So beautiful.

Qiao Annian wanted to go to the mountain to take pictures of the bamboo forest.

In the mountains, there is a trail that leads to the bamboo forest on the mountain.

"Bao, give me the camera."

He Nanlou took down the camera, Qiao Annian took it, and walked to the bamboo forest on the mountain.

He Nanlou held him back and said in a deep voice, "It's too dangerous."

It has rained and the roads on the mountain are too slippery.

"It's okay, I used to squat outdoors in natural light, I have experience, don't worry."

Qiao Annian patted the child on the shoulder.

With his hands empty, the child walked away and walked towards the mountain road.

"Small building—"

Qiao Annian was almost frightened to death, thinking that the child was angry with him, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Ahead, He Nanlou only walked a few steps, then stopped, bent down, and picked a branch by the side of the mountain path.

The branches are thicker than trekking poles, more than one meter long, and they are just right as crutches.

He Nanlou handed over the branch, Qiao Annian looked at the muddy water on the child's hands and was speechless.

Such a little bit of dirt is nothing to him at all, but he knows very well that it must be uncomfortable for Xiaolou.

Saying thank you is too light.

For a while, he couldn't think of a more suitable rhetoric.

There was only one branch, Qiao Annian looked at the child: "What about you?"

He Nanlou said lightly, "No need."

Qiao Annian: "...then you go ahead of me."

In this way, if there is any emergency, he can also help.

"Ah."

...

As long as Qiao Annian is in the state of filming, he will easily forget himself.

The sun completely came out of the clouds, and the sun shone on his body, making it a little hot. Only then did Qiao Annian realize that they might have stayed in the mountains for a long time.

Qiao Annian was very sorry, he clearly agreed that he would take the small building out for a walk, but it turned out that he took the photos here alone.

Qiao Annian decided not to take pictures of the scenery. He held up the camera and said to the child who was waiting for him under the bamboo forest not far away, "Treasure, look here!"

He Nanlou turned around and looked over.

Among a bamboo grove, the young man's eyes are as deep as a cold pool, his figure is tall and straight, as clear as bamboo.

Bi is the military coat on his body, which is strange.

Qiao Annian smiled as he stared at the young man in the camera.

Only through the lens, he doesn't have to worry, his eyes will reveal his secrets.

...

Thinking that the two old men were probably still waiting for him to go back, Qiao Annian took out the mobile phone in his pocket, checked that the time was almost up, and walked down the mountain with the child.

Back in the yard, the first thing Qiao Annian did was to take He Nanlou back to his room to wash his hands.

With hand sanitizer on hand, Qiao Annian squeezed the body wash to wash the children's hands.

Knowing that children love to be clean, Qiao Annian carefully washed and rinsed every finger, including the seams between them, and dried them with the towel on the towel rack.

The back of He Nanlou's hand moved close to Qiao Annian's nose, "Is it fragrant?"

Qiao Annian understood what the child meant as soon as he heard it, and asked him if his hands had no earthy smell, and whether they were fragrant.

It is this action, coupled with this short question, which is inexplicably joyful.

Qiao Annian nodded hastily, and said with a smile, "Smells, smells, our small building smells good."

...

The weather in the mountains is fickle, and the sunshine does not know how long it can last.

Qiao Annian took advantage of the good light in the morning to take all the photos.

It was just after eleven o'clock when the photo was taken, and it was time for lunch.

At the insistence of the two old people, Qiao Annian and He Nanlou stayed for another lunch.

After a whole morning, He Nanlou's wet coat just happened to be dried last night.

He Nanlou changed into his own coat, and Qiao Annian also packed up both of their things, and bid farewell to the two old people and Xiao Qianqian.

Xiao Qianqian transferred a sum of money to Qiao Annian on WeChat, nearly five figures, and said that if it was not enough, she could pay it back in installments.

Joannian confiscated it.

For him, this is not a job.

He was very happy to meet the two old people and enjoyed the two days in the mountains.

It was rare to have guests at home, the two old people, including Xiao Qianqian, were very reluctant to part with Qiao Annian and He Nanlou, and sent them a long way.

If Qiao Annian hadn't repeatedly persuaded Xiao Qianqian to go back with the two old people, the two old people would probably have accompanied them down the mountain until they reached the place where Qiao Annian parked.

When they parted, the old man Meng Haisheng stuffed a small object wrapped in red cloth into Qiao Annian's hand, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so consider this small object as a gift from me to you and Xiaolou. You two and your family members, everything is going well. It's not worth a few dollars, just talk about it."

How could Qiao Annian ask for things from the old man, "Grandpa Meng, I can't accept this."

Xiao Qianqian said: "Senior, you can accept it. My grandfather said that he and

You and Xiaolou hit it off, so I sent you two off.Take it. "

Yue Qiming also said: "It's really a worthless gadget. If you don't mind it, you can come and visit us if you have a chance in the future. There is nothing in the mountains. Fortunately, the air is fresh and the scenery is quite pleasant. Especially in summer , To escape the summer heat, stay at home for a few days, treat it as a vacation."

Meng Haisheng nodded again and again, "That's it. That's fine, put it away, big man, what are you doing with such a mother-in-law."

Qiao Annian couldn't refuse it anymore, thinking that if the thing was really valuable, it would be the same to return it to Sissy after Jiang University started school, and let Sissy return it to the two old people.

Take it for now.

Both Qiao Annian and He Nanlou came by car, and when they went back, they could only drive back in one car.

The two drove for nearly four hours before arriving home.

They set off after one o'clock, and when they got home, it was already dark.

The part-time worker went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and he will not come back until the next year. The house is not ventilated, the doors and windows are closed, and it is a bit stuffy.

Qiao Annian put the backpack on his body and the micro single on his shoulders on the sofa in the living room, and took the clothes he brought back and the two of them changed to the bathroom for machine washing.

He Nanlou had nothing to take in his hand, so he went to open the window for ventilation.

The windows were not opened too much, and when the air was not so stuffy, they were closed and the heater was turned on.

The temperature in the living room gradually increased.

After driving all afternoon, Qiao Annian was too tired to move a finger.

He was paralyzed on the sofa, and just about to ask how he would like to eat for dinner, order takeaway, or go out to eat out, when he saw the child walking upstairs, "Baby, do you want to go back to your room to sleep?"

He Nanlou put one hand on the handrail of the stairs and looked down at him: "Take a bath."

Qiao Annian was very envious: "Good physical strength!"

Unlike him, who was too tired to move a finger, let alone take a shower now.

He Nanlou continued to go upstairs, but was stopped by Qiao Annian, "Wait a minute, Bao, what do you want to eat tonight? Order takeaway, or do you want to go out to eat?"

He Nanlou, who didn't want to go out to eat, just wanted to be alone with Qiao Annian: "Takeaway."

"Okay. Then I'll order now? There are many people who place orders late, and the delivery is also late."

"Ah."

"What to eat?"

"casual."

Joannian: "..."

He Nanlou went to take a shower, and Qiao Annian ordered takeaway.

After ordering takeaway, Qiao Annian lay down on the sofa for a while. He was so tired that he almost fell asleep lying there.

Qiao Annian checked the real-time news of the takeaway. The takeaway boy he ordered hadn't gone to the store to pick it up, so he took his bag and micro slip and went up to take a shower first.

After taking a shower, Qiao Annian packed up the things in his backpack, planning to empty it and wash it.

A small red velvet bag fell out of his bag, and it was a gift from the old man.

After receiving it from the old man, until now, Qiao Annian hasn't opened it, and he doesn't know what's inside.

Qiao Annian opened the red velvet cloth, and inside was a small silver incense ball with twin stalks and twigs.

Qiao Annian knew that this kind of small incense ball was a popular decoration during the Republic of China, but it was not something ordinary people could afford.

Originally, the small incense balls in ancient times should have been hollowed out, and sachets could be placed inside. In the Republic of China, they were gradually simplified, leaving only one shape, and the inside was no longer hollowed out, becoming a purely decorative object.

The silver jewelry itself is indeed not worth a lot of money, but the shape, the craftsmanship behind it, and the years it has gone through, I am afraid that the price is not low.

It was only after Qiao Annian picked up the small incense ball that he realized that there was another incense ball, but the two incense balls were entangled before, so he thought they were the same object.

The two incense balls are engraved with twin stalks and branches, only the figure at the bell is different, one is a dragon and the other is a phoenix.

The bell is too small, so only the dragon's head and crested head are engraved, but the pattern is exquisite and not ordinary.

The flowers bloom side by side.

When Qiao Annian saw the twig pattern, he had already guessed something, and seeing the pattern on the bell confirmed his guess even more.

These two small sachets should be a pair.

Is it a token of love between the two old people when they were young?

Joannian's heart skipped a beat.

If he had known that when Qian Qian transferred money to him, he should have accepted it, and maybe the old man would not have given such a valuable gift.

After thinking about it, he felt that maybe it wasn't all because he didn't accept Sissy's money transfer.

Was it because he was too obvious that the two old men could see the clues in such a short time together, so they gave this pair of things as parting gifts?

He naturally likes the gift very much, and it is also very meaningful.

But this gift, he can't accept it.

Too precious!

Qiao Annian put the two small incense balls back into the flannel bag.

"what is this?"

"Ok?"

Qiao Annian was so engrossed in watching Xiao Xiangqiu just now that he didn't notice when the child came in.

He raised his head, "Is this? It's an incense ball."

He Nanlou sat down by the bed, picked it up, looked at it carefully, and put it back: "They are a pair."

Joannian was a little embarrassed, "Well, yes. They are a pair."

He Nanlou raised his eyes: "Which one do you like?"

Qiao Annian wrapped the little incense ball in a cloth again, "No matter which one I like, we can't have this incense ball."

He Nanlou: "Why?"

"It's too expensive. I just took a photo and received two old things from others. Do you think it's appropriate?"

He Nanlou: "It's suitable."

Joannian: "..."

Qiao Annian didn't say how valuable these two things are, anyway, to Xiaolou, these are probably small money.

However, they still can't accept it.

This gift is too big.

But if Xiaolou likes it, there is nothing he can do.

Qiao Annian thought for a while: "If you really like it, I'll ask someone to see who has this collection, so I can buy one for you, or go to the auction house and take one for you, okay?"

He Nanlou: "Our company plans to formally set up an AI medical research and development project team, intending to develop medical high-end AI robots. If the research and development is successful, we can give one to Meng Lao and Yue Lao."

Qiao Annian knows that MT intends to invest in medical research and development in recent years, but the significance of setting up a special medical research and development project team is still different. This shows that MT will attach great importance to the field of medical AI research and development in the future.

Qiao Annian couldn't hide his excitement, "Really?"

"Ah."

Compared with the cost and market price of an intelligent medical robot, these two small incense balls are indeed more than enough.

Just love is priceless.

Compared with such foreign objects as small fragrant balls, an AI medical robot is indeed much more practical for the two elderly people!

Sissy will get married sooner or later, and the two elderly people staying in the mountains, accompanied by AI medical robots, will undoubtedly greatly facilitate the lives of the two elderly people.

Qiao Annian's eyes sparkled: "Baby, do you know if your medical AI research project team is full or not?"

...

Lunar New Year's eve.

Zhang Qianrou moved to a new house, and according to Jiangcheng's customs, she had to live in the new house during the New Year's Eve.

In the past, He Weishen would come back years ago and take Zhang Qianrou, Qiao Annian, and He Nanlou to the He family's old house.Now that the He family is falling apart, He Duan's health has been deteriorating since the stroke, and he is only hanging on his breath. Naturally, He Weishen doesn't need to do any superficial work, and he didn't make a single call to He Nanlou

Too.

The father and son have never broken up, maybe the relationship between father and son is just like that, and neither of them has contacted each other again.

As for Qiao Annian and He Nanlou, they went to Zhang Qianrou's place to celebrate the New Year together.

Zhang Qianrou and Dr. Guo have formally established a relationship.

Therefore, on New Year's Eve, Dr. Guo was there.

Qiao Annian rang the doorbell, and indeed it was Dr. Guo who opened the door.

"Uncle, Happy New Year. Here, this is a New Year's present that Xiaolou and I bought for you and my mother."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year—why do you bring gifts here? Come, come in, come in."

Dr. Guo took the slippers that the two of them wore last time from the shoe cabinet. Qiao Annian was holding something in his hand, and it was inconvenient to change shoes, so he had to take the things first and put them in the living room.

Zhang Qianrou greeted her from the kitchen: "Did Niannian and Xiaolou come over?"

"Yes, the two of them came here. Look, they brought us gifts. It's really... You tell the two children, let them stop spending so much next time. "

Qiao Annian changed into his slippers, entered the room with He Nanlou, heard the conversation between the two elders, and said with a smile: "It's just some food and drink, not much money."

...

Although Zhang Qianrou moved to the new house and Dr. Guo also came, the meaning of spending New Year's Eve together is still different.

Afraid of neglecting the two children, Zhang Qianrou kept calling them to eat at the dinner table.

Qiao Annian poured a glass of Coke for his mother and Dr. Guo, "Mom, you don't need to greet me and Xiaolou. If you only care about me and Xiaolou again, I, Uncle Gu, will be jealous."

Zhang Qianrou glanced at her lover next to her embarrassedly, blushing: "You child, what are you talking about?"

"Come on, I wish each of us a happy New Year and all our wishes come true!"

Qiao Annian raised his glass, Zhang Qianrou and Dr. Guo also raised their glasses.

Qiao Annian held the child's hand holding the cup and "forcibly" toasted, and the four of them clinked glasses together.

This time, Qiao Annian didn't dare to drink anymore.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was still early, so Qiao Annian accompanied Zhang Qianrou to watch TV in the living room.

It was almost eight o'clock when Qiao Annian bid farewell.

Zhang Qianrou was startled: "Aren't you and Xiaolou staying here overnight?"

Qiao Annian said that if he and Xiaolou stayed here overnight, Dr. Guo would be depressed at night.

Qiao Annian smiled and said, "No, I asked Lele and the others to go to the bar for the New Year's Eve."

Zhang Qianrou hadn't seen her son for a while, and thought that the two children would stay for the night. Hearing this, she was somewhat disappointed.

But when the children are older, they must like to play with their friends of the same age.

Qiao Annian and He Nanlou were wearing coats, so Zhang Qianrou knew that the two children really didn't plan to stay at home at night, so she said, "That's it. Then you and Xiaolou should drive carefully on the road. This is what I gave Your red envelopes belong to Uncle Guo, take them, one for each person, ah."

Qiao Annian put on his coat, took the red envelope from his mother, and joked: "You also said that Xiaolou and I were spending money, and you and Uncle Guo are arrogant, and you get a red envelope when you make a move."

Zhang Qianrou said coquettishly: "What is arrogant and not arrogant? It's just a lucky red envelope."

Dr. Guo also smiled a little shyly: "Just to make sense of it, please have a good fable during the Chinese New Year."

Qiao Annian accepted the red envelope. He opened his arms and hugged Zhang Qianrou, "Mom, Happy New Year!"

Zhang Qianrou froze for a few seconds, then she said softly, "Happy New Year."

...

Qiao Annian and He Nanlou came out of Zhang Qianrou's apartment building. By the pool downstairs, there were parents taking their children to play with Taiping flowers, and there were monkeys...

The children looked at the rising fireworks and clapped their hands happily. The fireworks illuminated their little faces colorfully. When the children laughed, they looked even more beautiful than the fireworks.

Qiao Annian stopped unconsciously.

Before wearing the book, every New Year's Eve, he dared not go out.

He was afraid that all the people were reuniting with their families, but he was the only one.

Now, he has his family too.

Fireworks exploded in Qiao Annian's eyes.

He Nanlou followed his gaze, Qiao Annian's gaze, and what he was looking at was not the fireworks flying into the sky.

On New Year's Eve, not everyone will wait for the family reunion.

Qiao Annian didn't look away until the fireworks were over and the children were led home by their parents.

Qiao Annian took his hand out of his pocket, and put one hand on the child's shoulder: "Come on, we should go back too!"

He Nanlou took off Qiao Annian's hand from his waist.

Facing Qiao Annian's astonished gaze, He Nanlou held that hand in his palm and said softly, "I'll take you home."

Joannian was taken aback.

Many, many years ago.

On New Year's Eve, my mother opened the door of the house and left without looking back.

Outside, lively fireworks.

Since that day, he has been completely homeless.

Until many years later, he was a family by himself.

After wearing the book, he, his mother, and Xiaolou, the three of them are a family.

Started today, and not anymore.

Perhaps, in the near future, Xiaolou will also go out from this house.

It doesn't matter, at least, in this world, someone said to take him home on New Year's Eve.

Qiao Annian snorted: "What do you mean you take me home? I should be the one who takes you home, right? I drove the car today."

...

To watch the new year, Qiao Annian turned on all the lights in the house.

After turning on all the lights in the corridor downstairs, Qiao Annian went upstairs and went back to his room to take a shower.

Taking a bath on New Year's Eve carries the meaning of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.

Even the pajamas, Qiao Annian specially wore a new one.

After receiving the goods, Qiao Annian washed and dried the new pajamas, and only wore them for the first time today.

After putting it on, I realized that the neckline of this cardigan pajamas is a bit low, almost reaching the position of the sternum.

Is it his delusion?

Why does he feel that this pajamas are a bit flirty?

Qiao Annian came out of the bathroom in his new pajamas, and accidentally saw the child sitting on his bed.

The child was wearing the same style of cotton pajamas as him, but the size was different.

When Qiao Annian bought it, he didn't think too much about it.

Seeing the child wearing the same style of red pajamas sitting on his bed at this moment, I realized that the pajamas he bought looked like wedding pajamas.

He and Xiaolou looked like a newly married couple.

He should have heard his footsteps. The child who was playing with his mobile phone raised his eyes and looked at him.

"Brother Niannian."

Qiao Annian almost slipped on the sole of his foot: "You, what did you call me?"

He Nanlou shouted very calmly: "Brother Niannian."

Qiao Annian walked to the bed and asked tentatively, "Baby, do you want me to help you?"

"I fell in love with someone."

Qiao Annian's heart shrank suddenly.

On New Year's Eve, do you want to be so cruel?

No matter what, it is always a good thing that the child is enlightened.

Is it because I like someone for the first time, so I have no experience, so I asked him to come here?

Even though his heart was so sour that he could make vinegar, and his heart was so bitter that he could boil a bowl of coptis, Qiao Annian still smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

He also encouraged the children: "If you like it, go after it!"

He Nanlou's eyelashes trembled slightly, first he lowered his eyes, then raised them slightly, "Then if he doesn't like me

What? "

Qiao Annian was no longer so sour that he could make vinegar, he was so sour that he could eat a box of sour plums!

Who is the lucky guy in the universe that made his good boy so worried about gains and losses? !

In order to catch up with that guy, he even called his brother Niannian for the first time, to curry favor with him!

Qiao Annian admitted that he was jealous and angry at the same time.

Which guy is so ignorant!

Qiao Annian sat down by the bed, pinched He Nanlou's pretty face, and said seriously: "Our Xiaolou is so cute, who wouldn't like it? You have to have confidence in yourself."

He Nanlou raised his eyelids, "Did Brother Nian like me that year?"

Qiao Annian said heartily, is it a question of whether he likes it or not?

He liked it too much to like it more.

He Nanlou: "Do you like it?"

Qiao Annian knew very well that the liking Xiaolou said had a different meaning from the liking he had for Xiaolou.

Qiao Annian curled her lips: "I like it."

How is it possible, would you not like it?

A kiss fell.

He Nanlou's kiss left Qiao Annian's forehead, and the corners of his lips curled up charmingly, and he gently blew into Qiao Annian's ear: "Then it's settled, you can't leave me in the future , Brother Niannian."

Joannian: "???!!!

Is there something wrong?

He Nanlou kissed Qiao Annian's red ear tips, his cheeks, the corners of his lips...

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Qiao Annian stretched his fingers away and pushed He Nanlou's face away violently.

"Bao, cold, calm down."

Qiao Annian suspected that if his heart beat like this, it would jump out of his chest. He swallowed and stared at the child: "He Xiaolou, did you drink tonight?"

He Nanlou looked at him with deep eyes, "I've been with you all night, what do you think?"

Qiao Annian shook his head and said with reason: "No, we didn't spend the whole night together. After you came back, you went back to your room to take a shower."

"Have I been drinking, you can come and smell it."

Qiao Annian really grabbed the collar of the child's pajamas, leaned close to He Nanlou's neck, and sniffed it carefully.

Except for the aroma of shower gel, there is really no smell of alcohol.

So what's going on here?

Qiao Annian sat up straight with a puzzled expression on his face. He let go of He Nanlou's collar, and his hand was suddenly pulled.

He Nanlou put his hand on Qiao Annian's hand that was propped up on the bed, and the distance between the two suddenly narrowed, nose to nose.

Qiao Annian involuntarily slid down his Adam's apple, so panicked that he didn't even know where to look, "Xiao, Xiaolou..."

"Joannian, long ago, I wanted to take you as my own. I wanted to lock you up in my manor, make you belong to me alone, and make you smile at me alone. Looking at you, crying under me, listening to you, calling my name over and over again..."

He Nanlou pushed the man onto the bed, clamped Qiao Annian's hands with one hand, raised them above his head, and stroked the outline of Qiao Annian's cheek with the other hand, "Are you thinking that I am a lunatic? "

"I do not……"

"Nobody likes a madman, do they?"

The tip of He Nanlou's index finger stroked Qiao Annian's lips.

Things have completely exceeded the limit that Qiao Annian can bear, and his mind is completely blank now.

He Nanlou bent down, his lips replaced his fingertips, and lightly touched Qiao Annian's lips, his deep eyes stared at the person under him without blinking, "Qiao Annian, I only give you one chance, think clearly . If you are afraid, push me away now."
