stop, don't move

"Can I dress like this?"

Qiao Le looked at Wen Shiyan, then tugged at his clothes, feeling that he still couldn't do it this way.

He went shopping all morning, wanting to choose a dress that looked stable and decent, and asked the shopping guide what kind of clothes would impress the elders, but the clothes the shopping guide chose were old-fashioned and expensive.

Qiao Le thought, Wen Shiyan's mother is also a person who cuts double eyelids and grows eyelashes, and she is very fashionable, if she sees her son's partner is dressed more maturely than her husband, she may feel that her son has poor taste.

In the end, Qiao Le chose the one he liked, which was neither old-fashioned nor outstanding, ordinary and simple.

After shopping for clothes, Qiao Le went to cut his hair. His original hair can already be tied into a small tug. He thought it was quite fun, but in the eyes of his elders, he might look nondescript.

Qiao Le is still very serious about meeting her parents this time. If she can't even make a good impression, it will be even more difficult to be recognized in the future.

Qiao Le has a small face with a sharp chin, and can hold any hairstyle. She looked a little coquettish at first, but after the hair was cut short, she lost a lot of age. Wen Shiyan also lamented that he was like "an old cow eating tender grass".

"Yes, Lele looks good in anything. Don't be nervous. I showed your picture to my mother. She has a good impression of you."

Wen Shiyan was amused. He had never seen Qiao Le so nervous. He remembered how calm Qiao Le was when he was preparing for the exam.

He is also very relieved, which shows that he is very important to Qiao Le, which is why he values ​​him so much.

"If you've seen me, you have to perform better. You have to prove to your aunt that it's his luck to find me in his son's eyes."

"Of course I'm lucky." Wen Shiyan saw that Qiao Le had a tendency to change clothes again, and hurriedly pushed him out of the bedroom, "Okay, let's go, or we'll be late, Duan Yi and Qiqi are already there On the way."

"Yes, yes, you can't be late."

Qiao Le woke up with a start, no further delay, the two finally went out.

When the two arrived home, Duan Yi also got out of the car with Qiqi in his arms. They looked at each other and smiled, and entered Wen's house together.

When several people entered the door, Shi Xin was sitting on the sofa, seeing them, he just smiled lightly and said: "Here we are", after finishing speaking, he looked at Qiao Le one more time and continued to work with his head down.

Qiao Le felt his heart pounding in his throat, and his smiling face froze. Wen Shiyan squeezed his hand tightly, and gently pressed his palm to express his relief.

After several people approached, they realized that Shi Xin was putting on nail polish.

Qiao Le: This seems to be different from what I thought.

When Duan Yi put Duan Qiqi down, the little girl was also a little timid, holding her father's trouser legs and not daring to go forward.

Shi Xin finally stood up after painting the last little nails unhurriedly, and walked in front of several people.

Shi Xin is obviously a person who pays attention to his image, with light makeup on his face and a thin apricot sweater dress, he is fashionable and young.

She straightened the folds of her clothes, squatted down to be at the same level as Duan Qiqi, and stretched out her hands to pinch her small face.

"Honey, you are Qiqi, call me grandma."

Qiao Le stood aside, palms covered with sweat, he didn't expect Shi Xin to skip him directly, and his originally slightly relaxed mood became tense again.

Wen Shiyan's mother wouldn't really hate him, would she...

"Qiqi, let me introduce you to grandma."

Duan Yi smiled at the nervous two over there, touched Duan Qiqi's head and said softly.

"Hello grandma."

Duan Qiqi's milky milky voice sounded, her chubby hands pinched Shi Xin's fingers, she first introduced her own father, "Jie is my father, he is an actor."

"The one in black is my godfather. Dad said he is super powerful!" After the introduction, the little guy suddenly became excited, and when he pulled Shixin, he jumped in front of Qiao Le, and tugged at Qiao Le's clothes with his little hands, "Grandma, what's the matter with you?" It's my new uncle, he... he's so beautiful!"

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Cheng Yu."

Under Qi Qi's introduction, Qiao Le was finally able to speak, and tried to show a sincere smile, letting Shi Xin look at her.

Face to face with Shi Xin at such a close distance, Qiao Le felt an almost suffocating pressure. Shi Xin looked at it for a while, and then said softly, "It's quite beautiful."

"Come in and sit down."

Qiao Le turned to look at Wen Shiyan, her eyes were full of inquiries, the woman's heart was pierced, this is the future mother-in-law he wanted to please, it was even more difficult to guess.

If he guessed wrong, he could be thrown into limbo by the queen mother directly.

Your Majesty, I am in such a difficult situation.

Qiao Le glanced at Wen Shiyan again, and sat next to him, with his back straight, his hands on his knees, and a standard primary school student sitting posture.

Aunt Li poured tea for them all, brought a fruit platter up and down, and then went back to cook. During this time, she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Le, with a kind smile on her lips.

"Aunt Li probably needs a while to cook now. I didn't expect you to come so early. I just painted my nails. I also want to change into a nice dress. This one is too casual and inappropriate."

"Mom, we didn't come back to eat, but mainly to see you. Besides, don't you look good in everything."

"That's right, Auntie, you have a very temperament in this body, and you are more beautiful than the actor I have seen."

Duan Yi also continued, pushing his own daughter over. The main reason for bringing her here today is to assist.

"Xiaoyi's mouth is so sweet," Shi Xin covered her lips and chuckled, holding Qiqi in her arms.

Only now did Qiao Le realize how weak his character was. When he should have said more, he couldn't say a word. He pinched his knees and lowered his head silently.

"That child, I heard from A Yan that you just turned 23 this year?"

"Yes."

Qiao Le replied quickly, but after saying these two words, she didn't know what to say, she wanted to cry but had no tears.

"A Yan will be 28 this year, and he will be [-] in two years, don't you think there is a big age gap?"

"Mom, there are more than ten years of difference between you and my dad. What are we these years?"

Wen Shiyan interrupted Shi Xin, using examples so that Shi Xin could not find fault here.

"I don't want to listen to you. Now shut up, kid, tell me."

Shi Xin cast a sideways glance at her worthless son, and then looked at Qiao Le again. Although her tone was sharp, her eyes were much gentler.

Qiao Le took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. Now is not the time to shrink back. He looked directly at Shi Xin and smiled: "Wen Shiyan and I were together three years ago, and now we are together again. We have experienced too much until now. , the age difference of only five years is not worth mentioning."

"Auntie, maybe I'm still a child in your eyes, but I'm already an adult and I know my decision very well."

Shi Xin nodded, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Honey, I'm not interrogating you. There's no need to answer in such an official way. It's enough for you to tell me you care."

Qiao Le was dumbfounded: "Oh", blushing slightly because of this gentle "baby".

"Let's talk about other things after dinner. I'm so bored at home by myself every day. Do you guys know how to play mahjong?"

The living room was suddenly silent for a while.

The other three replied in unison: "...Yes."
