At three o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from the living room. The person who had slept soundly sat up suddenly, lifted the quilt and got out of bed sleepily.Pushing open the bedroom door, I saw that Chen Shuyao was holding the handle of the largest suitcase in his hand. The zipper of the suitcase was not pulled, and the contents inside were scattered all over the floor.Among the messy clothes on the floor lay a statue of Venus with a broken arm, which was probably the source of the sound just now.Sherlock couldn't help frowning and scratching his head, walked over, picked up the statue and placed it on the table.

"We only go to play for a few days, and we only need to bring the necessary supplies. This kind of thing is exempt."

"No." Chen Shuyao didn't explain much, but silently took the statue and hugged it in her arms, put down the suitcase, squatted down to pick up the clothes and put them back.

"So, is this going to be given to my future father-in-law?"

Chen Shuyao was stunned, and raised her eyes to meet Sherlock's hidden smile. She didn't know when he squatted down, so she rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I prepared a door-to-door gift for you. After all, 'an ugly daughter-in-law must see her in-laws'. You see, we have been together for more than half a year, and you are going to abduct me now. My parents don't know it yet. China is extremely inconsistent with social reality.”

"Is the marriage procedure in China complicated? I haven't paid attention to it before." Sherlock said while helping someone pick up their clothes.

He didn't pay attention to the point of this sentence, and finally there will be a day when she has the upper hand in language!

Suppressing a smile, seeing Sherlock's rare appearance of humbly asking for advice, her desire to impart knowledge soared unprecedentedly: "Of course! How can someone else's daughter who has been raised for more than [-] years be so easily raped by you?" I don’t know about other places. At least in our place, the parents of both sides have to meet first, and then discuss the date of engagement, date of marriage, how much dowry, how much dowry. Then get a marriage certificate and hold a wedding But now there are very few traditional weddings in China, and they are basically a fusion of Chinese and Western weddings.”

Sherlock frowned slightly: "Why is it still related to money?"

"Uh...you don't understand, this is equivalent to a kind of financial guarantee given by parents before their children leave the family. In this way, the two will not have to work hard in the early stages of marriage." Chen Shuyao folded the clothes and put them in the suitcase , "Moreover, the economic base determines the superstructure, so that one's own children will not suffer any disadvantages when they marry."

Sherlock nodded knowingly: "You have no income, so you are the next and I am the top."

"...That's not what I meant!" Chen Shuyao glanced at him, snatched the clothes from his hand, and threw them into the suitcase.

Sherlock didn't take it seriously, and directly started another topic: "Who is the 'ugly wife'?"

Hearing Sherlock speak Northeast dialect had a very strange feeling, Chen Shuyao couldn't help chuckling.But after laughing, she realized a problem.This guy didn't miss the point just now, but he was preparing to settle accounts after the fall!

"No, no, you misunderstood. This is an idiom. It's a metaphor that you can't hide, you always have to show your face. In fact, there is no such thing as an 'ugly daughter-in-law'." Chen Shuyao chuckled, and then continued to pack her things with her head down.

"Really? But I think what you said is superficial." Sherlock took her hand, causing her to lose her balance, and she fell directly into the suitcase.She raised her eyes to meet someone's deep gaze, "Call me an 'ugly daughter-in-law', are you still trying to turn over?"

Chen Shuyao hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile: "No, it was just a joke..."

"But your words make me feel in crisis."

"..."

She really didn't get his point, this sentence is at most a joke that he is ugly, dangerous?

While wondering, when she lightened up, she was already hugged by someone.

"Hi! I haven't packed my things yet, and I'm leaving for the airport this afternoon."

Sherlock turned off the light and walked towards the bedroom: "No hurry, I'll help you when you get up. It's already early in the morning, if you continue to make trouble like this, Mrs. Hudson will kick us out."

"It's all an excuse!" Chen Shuyao pouted, "You clearly want to do something bad, and you want to find a high-sounding reason. If you have the ability, don't touch me."

As soon as the words fell, his back fell into a soft mass.Pressing down on the warmth on her body, his warm breath sprayed on her lips.

"That's impossible." Sherlock pulled the quilt to completely cover the two of them.

A muffled male voice came from the group.

"I have to let you remember that you are the 'little daughter-in-law' who will suffer all your life."

"..."

Thus, Chen Shuyao experienced the only time in her life that she was suppressed the whole time and was at the bottom of the beautiful night.There should be laughter here.

The inconvenience caused by this is that the next day she has a backache, leg cramps, and can't get out of bed!

On the plane at ten o'clock in the evening, it was not until nine o'clock that Watson and Selena finally saw the two people who had arrived late.Sherlock was holding the suitcase with one hand and pushing the luggage trolley with the other. Chen Shuyao was holding a backpack and sitting cross-legged in it.

"My God, what's the matter with you, Shuyao?" Selena was worried, and when she was about to walk over, she was stopped by Watson, who whispered something in her ear.

Afterwards, Chen Shuyao saw Selena showing an expression of "I understand".

"Don't listen to his nonsense, I just accidentally stretched my waist yesterday when I was packing my luggage."

"Oh, really? Then I think Sherlock must have accidentally helped you a lot." Watson hooked his mouth slightly, and coughed dryly next to his mouth twice, "Okay, let's hurry up, or we might miss the plane .”

After a 14-hour long-distance flight, finally at 20:2.5 pm local time the next day, Chen Shuyao set foot on the hot land where she was born and raised for more than [-] years as she wished.The concentration of PM[-] in the air is very familiar.The wind blowing head-on brought back tears of homesickness in her eye sockets.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she opened her arms to embrace the whole city.

However, the above are actually Chen Shuyao's daydreams before landing. The actual situation is...she just walked out of the airport gate and took the first breath of oxygen. Not hot tears, but windward tears caused by the strong cold wind blowing directly into the eyes.Fortunately, it wasn't ice rain that slapped her face indiscriminately, it was just snow, otherwise she might really have to cry at the occasion.Even so, Chen Shuyao, who had only taken a few steps, still had to retreat silently, hugging Sherlock's arm tightly, and finally failed to escape the bad luck of sneezing.

It's nothing, but what's shameful is that she found that the three of them didn't think there was anything wrong with the temperature.And she, a native of the Northeast, was frozen into a dog.

She is not convinced!It must be because it's so cold today!

So, she took out her phone and pulled out the weather forecast.Sure enough, another wave of cold air invaded the Northeast. From tonight to tomorrow, there will be heavy snowstorms, and the minimum temperature will be minus 30 degrees.

Chen Shuyao pointed at the screen of the mobile phone, and her eyes lingered on the faces of the three people, not without shock: "It's minus 25 degrees, don't you all feel cold?"

"Uh, it's okay." Selena took Watson's arm, "But Watson and I made sufficient preparations before we came, wearing two layers of warm|underwear. I'm wearing a down jacket and cotton pants. They are all exclusively for the Northeast bought online.”

"..." Chen Shuyao wrapped her fat down jacket tightly in silence, and the thin little shirt was cold against her chest.

Could it be that in just a few months, she had adapted to the London temperature and became afraid of the cold?If so, that's really not a good thing.It's not easy to come back, she can't stay in the house all day.

Shocked by the coldness, Sherlock suggested, "Where is the hotel you booked? Let's go back first."

"It's quite far from here, let's take a taxi." Chen Shuyao sneezed again and sniffed.

The taxi circled half of the city and finally stopped in front of a chain hotel.

Watson looked around: "So why do we come to live in such a far away place?"

This doesn't look like a gathering place for attractions, but it looks like an ordinary old town.

Selena pissed off Watson, and winked at Chen Shuyao: "Shuyao is familiar with this, she must have her reasons for ordering this, let's go."

Chen Shuyao smiled back and said "thank you" with her lips.

Selena was right, of course she had her reasons.

Insert|up|insert|up|key card, turn on the light, Chen Shuyao ran to the window in a few steps, pressed both hands on the marble window sill, through the cold glass window, he could see a light gray low building hidden in the overlapping buildings not far away. In the shadow, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously stained with a smile.

Before that, she had never left home.I didn't want to go out for the first time, so I went to England, or traveled into another time and space.But I haven't seen you for half a year, it seems like I haven't come back for several years.

Finally, finally... See you again.

Her waist sank, she turned her head slightly, her back was already covered with warmth, she stroked the hands around her waist, and gradually hugged her tightly.

Sherlock lowered his head slightly and kissed her cold forehead: "Are you happy at home?"

"Happy." Chen Shuyao turned back again, looked at the building, touched his hand with cold hands, and gradually clenched it, the smile on the corners of her mouth became stronger, and there was a gleam in her eyes.

"I really want to hold your hand, knock on the door directly, and tell my parents, look, I have found a boyfriend, and he is a tall and handsome detective."

"Don't worry." Sherlock turned the person in his arms around, looking at each other.

Chen Shuyao was full of doubts: "En?"

"Anything you dream of will come true."

"How is it possible? I have already decided to stay, how could they know me like this." Chen Shuyao looked at herself, with a wry smile on her lips.

"Trust me, Shuyao. Have you forgotten?" Sherlock pressed his forehead against hers, his voice became very soft, "Sherlock is omnipotent."

"I know, I believe you." Chen Shuyao tiptoed to suck on his lips, pushed his arm away, and unzipped the zipper, "I'm going to take a shower first."

Through the glass, Sherlock's eyes fixed on the direction Chen Shuyao had been looking at just now.He suddenly raised his hand, glanced at his palm, and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone, dialing a series of unfamiliar yet familiar numbers...

The author has something to say: All the words in this article are in Chinese, and words like "little daughter-in-law" can only be felt in Chinese.

I don’t know if anyone still remembers, before Yuhang came to look for Sherlock, that is, the time when Sherlock knew that he was a virtual character, and left a phone number in his palm.kindness……
