On New Year's Eve, Jiang Yueli and Lu Mingxuan stepped into the gate of Shen's house in a snowstorm.

Mrs. Shen put down the kitchen knife when she heard the sound, and came out of the kitchen to greet her.

"Zhaoying is here, this is Mingxuan, right? Why are you carrying so many things?" Mrs. Shen smiled when she saw Jiang Yueli, "You guys sit here for a while, Dinner will be ready later. Qingze is working overtime today, so he may come back later, let's eat first."

Qingze is Shen Ju's name—the big name is Shen Qingze.

"Hello, Auntie." Lu Mingxuan was used to being arrogant, but she had to obediently say hello to her elders when she met her.

What's more, to some extent, this can be regarded as meeting the parents.

"Aunt Xiu, let me help you." Jiang Yueli put down the things in his hands, and followed Mrs. Shen into the kitchen.

As soon as she rolled up her sleeves, she was pushed out of the door by Mrs. Shen.

"It'll be fine soon. Don't come here to make trouble. You didn't come back last year for Chinese New Year. Let's enjoy it here today, so as not to be unhappy this year and not come again next year."

Jiang Yueli looked a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand to push his glasses, and didn't say any rebuttal for a while.

She couldn't say that she passed out in an unknown place last year, and she would burp if she was not careful.

Saying this, don't say that she herself is uneasy, Shen Ju will have to beat her to death when she comes back.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shen was understanding, and she intended to make a joke, but seeing her embarrassed look, she changed the subject again.

"Furthermore, it is the first time for Xuan to come to our house, so you must not entertain her well." Mrs. Shen pushed Jiang Yueli to Lu Mingxuan's side, and sat the two of them on the sofa one by one. She also thoughtfully turned on the TV for them. , "You young people are easy to talk, and I, an old man, don't get involved."

The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala happened to be broadcast on TV, and a group of people sat in a fiery scene somewhere, chatting about some boring topics, counting the seconds and waiting for the time to come.

When Lu Mingxuan entered the door, she couldn't say anything except to say hello.

When she was sitting on the sofa, Jiang Yueli was sitting next to her, seemingly fascinated by watching TV, and Madam Shen went back to busy in the kitchen.

Lu Mingxuan held back for a while, and finally had nothing to say to dig up an old story: "You can't really be Shen Ju's illegitimate daughter, can you?"

Jiang Yueli turned her head and glanced at her faintly: "Who told it?"

"Uh..." Han Lin's face appeared in Lu Mingxuan's mind, but in the next second she swallowed the name abruptly, "Tao heard the story and said the story."

Jiang Yueli's expression was gloomy, with the aura of killing the rumor spreader.

In fact, the candidate was easy to guess, but after Lu Mingxuan fooled it like this, Jiang Yueli pretended that he was deceived.

"Aunt Xiu was injured and unable to have children before, and Uncle Ze has never left her for so many years." Jiang Yueli turned back to continue watching TV while explaining, "They are very good to the younger generation. Even Han Lin Come here, she will be so enthusiastic."

It's just that on the day of family reunion like New Year's Eve, she is the only one who will come to Shen's house to celebrate the New Year.

Now there is another Lu Mingxuan.

"I heard that Mrs. Shen used to be a policeman?" Lu Mingxuan's curiosity was aroused, "A childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, but I left my job many years ago because of an injury. It was quite serious at the time, and I lay in bed for many years."

"No wonder I just saw her walk a little bit awkwardly—it's such a touching love."

While the two were talking, Mrs. Shen brought out plates of hot dishes from the kitchen, and said loudly, "Zhaoying, do you and Ming Xuan have any dishes you want to eat? I'll bring them when Qingze comes back." a little."

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiang Yueli grabbed a handful of milk candy from the coffee table in front of her, unpacked it with all her hands, stuffed all of it into Lu Mingxuan's mouth, and blocked her remaining words.

"No need, we are not picky eaters." Jiang Yueli replied, "Just eat some hot food."

Mrs. Shen responded, then turned and went into the kitchen.

Jiang Yueli breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn her head to remind Lu Mingxuan to end this problem of poking someone's scars, but first felt a wet|hot|hot sensation from her fingertips.

Lu Mingxuan put several toffees in her mouth, and when she tried to crush them, she accidentally touched Jiang Yueli's finger that was still on her lips.

She was also stunned for a moment, but she was always a little more shameless than Jiang Yueli. When she met the latter's gaze, she stuck out her tongue and licked it again.

This time it was obviously intentional, and even the speed slowed down a lot, leaving Jiang Yueli enough time to react.

Jiang Yueli stared at her fingers with a sullen face, but a blush crept up her earlobe silently.

Lu Mingxuan immediately felt happy, so she let Jiang Yueli take back her hand.

Jiang Yueli stared at her wet fingers, and after a moment of silence, she pressed her fingers onto Lu Mingxuan's coat and rubbed them vigorously several times.

The corner of Lu Mingxuan's mouth twitched: "Hey, you are too narrow-minded! Do you know how expensive my coat is?"

Jiang Yueli glanced at Lu Mingxuan's unrestrained sitting posture slumped on the sofa, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

As far as Lu Mingxuan's "rough" behavior is concerned, she doesn't need others to do it, she can scrap a bunch of clothes by herself——

At this moment, the black stain on the other side of her clothes was the result of the robbery they encountered on the way, and she rubbed it on the wall when she beat someone up.

Lu Mingxuan hummed twice, muttering things like "My lord has a lot", "I'm in a good mood today", and then changed another topic.

"Don't talk about Shen Ju and the others, why not talk about you?" Lu Mingxuan turned her head to look at Jiang Yueli, "You have almost wiped out the eighteen generations of my ancestors, shouldn't you give me some reward? For example, your name ——Is it called Zhaoying?”

Jiang Yueli was slightly startled: "I thought Hua Ye had already told you everything."

"It's only a part, such as his relationship with you." Lu Mingxuan said vaguely, hiding the other part, "Anyway, it's not very important—the rest, I would rather hear you tell me yourself."

"Hua Zhaoying." Jiang Yueli interrupted Lu Mingxuan, explaining his part in a clear and light voice, "The photo is the photo, the shadow is the shadow."

"Zhaoying." Lu Mingxuan scratched the two characters in the void with her fingertips, "Was Jinghong Zhaoying here?"

"That's right, it's just 'Xi Ming Hua Zhao Ying'. My mother named it."

"Your mother is—" Lu Mingxuan remembered what Hua Ye had said about the Hua family's past, and immediately stopped talking, "It's a pretty good name. Doesn't Mrs. Shen know about your name change?"

"To be precise, she doesn't know anything, from what happened when I was a child to my job later, and the explosion last year." Jiang Yueli paused and reminded, "So don't mention it, if you don't want to If you get whipped by Uncle Ze."

Mrs. Shen's health has just improved in the past two years, and she has been at home all the time. The doctor warned her relatives and friends not to let her be too stimulated.

So everyone tacitly concealed the dangerous matter. Sometimes someone close to the bureau was injured, and they had to wait for the injury to recover before they dared to visit.

Mrs. Shen is in a good mood, knowing that she can't do anything now, so she doesn't ask other people about their work, and rests at home to be her full-time wife.

Old colleagues and close juniors worried that Mrs. Shen would be too lonely at home, so they often dragged their families to visit.

Jiang Yueli was the one brought back by Shen Ju himself.

Around the age of 16, Jiang Yueli was recommended by Shen Ju to enroll in school, and then the guardianship was transferred to the Shen family.

It was also at that time that Jiang Yueli came to visit for the first time and actually met Mrs. Shen.

At that time, Mrs. Shen couldn't get out of bed yet, but she still had a lot to worry about.

She also had some contact with Jiang Yueli's past in the past. She knew that this child had a pitiful background, and now he has no father or mother. Apart from the dilapidated tile-roofed house in District [-], he doesn't even have a place to live.

At that time, Mrs. Shen had been told that she could not have children for several years. Although she was not too obsessed with it, she still remembered it occasionally.

So when she saw the homeless Jiang Yueli, Madam Shen's motherly love broke out.

Later, when Jiang Yueli was cooperating with the police, she often heard those who frequented the Shen family complain that she must be the long-lost daughter of the Shen family.

Later, when the jokes were passed around, they changed their appearance. The Shen family didn't care much about it, but once Jiang Yueli heard it, someone would be unlucky for several days.

However, whether it was a rumor or a joke, it was a fact that Jiang Yueli had a close relationship with the Shen family.

From the age of 16, Jiang Yueli spent the Spring Festival at Shen's house almost every year. Sometimes Shen Ju was busy working overtime, and only she and Mrs. Shen were left at home to watch the new year.

It turned out that Jiang Yueli hadn't celebrated a festival for many years, and the only thing she remembered was the anniversary of her mother's death, and she lived the rest as usual.

It wasn't until she was brought home by Bureau Shen that she had the concept of festivals. From the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival to the Children's Day, Mrs. Shen always remembered to greet her.

Except for the previous year.

Jiang Yueli disappeared in an accident the year before, and was reported missing because the body was not found.

But in fact most people thought she was dead, because the last place she was seen was at the explosion site.

However, in order not to worry Mrs. Shen, no one told her about this speculation, and they all vaguely said that she had a mission.

Mrs. Shen also has a certain understanding of Jiang Yueli's own work, and there is no such task as "business trip", so she knows it well in her heart.

Although she didn't mention it again, when she saw Jiang Yueli who came to visit later, tears fell while holding her.

Obviously, she also guessed what kind of danger Jiang Yueli encountered before.

But more inside information—whether it was the reason she was brought back by Bureau Shen, the reason why she changed her job later, or the explosion the year before and everything that happened after that, they all hid it very well.

"Then should I call you Zhaoying or Yueli?" Lu Mingxuan asked.

"It's up to you." Jiang Yueli replied, "As long as you don't miss the details."

"Ah..." Lu Mingxuan leaned on the sofa and sighed softly, "You really don't care about your name at all, then you..."

Originally, Lu Mingxuan wanted to ask Jiang Yueli about her biological father——

Who is her real father?

Did you find her again later?

Doesn't he know that he has such a daughter?

Or, he didn't want to admit it at all?

But when she thought of Jiang Yueli's mother who passed away early, she felt that this must be another tragic past.

Lu Mingxuan paused, then abruptly changed the subject: "Then what were you like when you were a child? Before you met Shen Ju?"

When talking about his less important past, Jiang Yueli obviously became less tense, even a little indifferent and careless.

"It's just getting up, eating, reading, walking, eating and sleeping. It's just a day to kill. Then I met my brother, who is my teacher, so I spent a little more time learning other things..."

In Jiang Yueli's consciousness, Hua Zhaoying's past was indeed lackluster.

Hua Zhaoying was born in District [-], a well-known slum area. When her mother gave birth to her, she didn't even go to the hospital. She only relied on the kindness of the neighbors nearby to help her deliver the child.

Compared with her mother, the neighbor's aunt treated her much more carefully.

The young lady supported her to such a desperate situation with her arrogance. It is rare to be able to persevere, but it would be nonsense to say how good she is at taking care of children.

Therefore, Hua Zhaoying has been raised by herds since she was born.

Even though her mother didn't love her or ignored him deliberately, but she was a first-time mother after all, and there were no better conditions. It was normal for Hua Zhaoying to be hungry and full when she was a child.

Fortunately, the neighbor's aunt had just given birth to a child, and she couldn't see the young mother mistreating her child so much, so she offered to help.

It can be said that if it weren't for that kind neighbor, Hua Zhaoying might not have been able to live to such a big age.

But the neighbor is an outsider after all, and it is kind of nice to help her when she is free, but it is impossible to raise her forever.

Hua Yige has had a difficult life since she was pregnant, and even the child in her stomach has suffered. After giving birth, her physique is much weaker than that of ordinary children.

When she was young, she was not well taken care of. It was a problem to have enough food, let alone absorb any nutrients. Therefore, Hua Zhaoying developed later than her peers and was weaker since she was a child.

It takes twice as long to grow, speak slowly, and learn to walk, and it takes twice as long to receive emotional feedback.

Because of this, Hua Zhaoying was once considered a demented fool.

Neighbors persuaded Hua Yige to lose the child, or give it to other rich people to raise, maybe her dementia could be cured.

But Hua Yige was still reluctant after all, so he could only teach her bit by bit without any expectation.

When Hua Zhaoying finally started to walk crookedly when she was three or four years old, she had already started fighting with people.

Hua Yige took her daughter back with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and taught her while crying. She was both distressed and uncomfortable.

She thought her daughter was an idiot—literally—that was why she was fighting kids who were much older and stronger than herself.

Hua Zhaoying didn't seem to know the pain at all, she stared blankly at her mother, and after a while asked her mother in confusion, didn't she say that she had to be brave to resist in the face of evil forces?

Hua Yige was also stunned for a long time, she thought it was just a coincidence that her daughter would remember the bedtime story she told a long time ago, but Hua Zhaoying muttered that she had told it twelve times, and she already knew how to recite it.

Around that time, Hua Yige left her at home to study and practice calligraphy in order to avoid getting hurt when she went out again.

Then she discovered that her daughter was not a fool, but a genius.

In addition to emotional understanding and acceptance, the young Hua Zhaoying's ability to understand and memorize theoretical knowledge in books is not inferior to that of adults.

No, it should be said that Hua Zhaoying's memory is far better than that of ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has a photographic memory.

Hua Yige was mostly terrified about this. Although her academic performance was not bad during school, she knew very well that more effort was involved in it, and her IQ was far below the standard of a "genius".

So she felt that her daughter's talent came from her father, whom she had never met.

She is afraid that her daughter will take the same path as her father, and hopes that she can spend this life safely. At the same time, she also hopes that she can become an upright and kind person full of justice and contribute to this society.

Hua Zhaoying grew up under such contradictory education.

It seems that geniuses always have a kind of wonderful natural toughness, no matter how the outside world influences them, they will eventually grow into their own shape——

Commonly known as weird coffee.

Even in a place like District [-] where fish and dragons are mixed together, the child Hua Zhaoying feels that she can bear the description of "wonderful".

Although he is in poor health, he is still keen to fight against the "black|evil|force|force" among children.

Obviously, the children she saved and helped would blame her for being nosy, but the next time they were bullied, she would still rush forward without hesitation.

In the beginning, there were no exceptions. A weak and young girl couldn't beat those strong and older boys. She often lay down and was carried back by Hua Yige.

But unlike those simple fools, Hua Zhaoying can use her brain, and she is very good at using her brain.

For the same young children, the action routines are easy to see through. If the strength is not enough, they rely on external force and position to make up.

No matter how secretly they provoke their internal relations, it is very easy to watch the fire from the other side.

So the thin Hua Zhaoying successfully became the "overlord" among a group of children when he was less than ten years old.

Although Jiang Yueli remembered the past clearly, she didn't think there was anything particularly worth remembering.

On the contrary, Lu Mingxuan's mouth opened wide after hearing this, but she couldn't close it.

Adults may not think so much when they are beaten by a strong man of the same age, let alone Hua Zhaoying was only a single-digit child at that time.

Listening to Jiang Yueli briefly discussing how those children are easy to deal with as if reciting a paper, Lu Mingxuan sincerely felt a sense of admiration in her heart. Thousands of words finally converged into two words: "... Awesome."

She doesn't know the exact IQ of Jiang Yueli, but her natural rationality and calmness alone are enough for most adults to look up to.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but become more curious about Jiang Yueli's biological father whom she had never met.

Generally speaking, genes can bring this kind of special talent, but she has seen Hua Yishi, and she can guess that apart from being particularly stubborn, the Hua family is still within the scope of normal people as a whole.

So Jiang Yueli's strange nature was either due to a genetic mutation, or it came from her father.

So she finally couldn't hold back, and blurted out the question: "What exactly does your father do? A criminal with a high IQ? Or some kind of mad scientist?"

So why do these speculations all sound so psychotic?

So she is always like this in Mr. Lu's eyes?

Jiang Yueli glanced at Lu Mingxuan, and simply replied, "I don't know."

Lu Mingxuan's curiosity was completely aroused, and she couldn't help asking: "I really don't know? Aren't you very good, can't you find out your personal information?"

Due to habitual thinking, Lu Mingxuan took it for granted that Jiang Yueli's mother would tell her all the information about her father.

Hua Yige would rather leave the Hua family to keep the child, and it doesn't make sense to say that it's just because of the outburst of maternal love.

"I don't know, I don't want to check. Nearly 30 years is enough to wash away the evidence, but 30 years ago, smartphones and the Internet were not as popular as they are now, so it is very troublesome to track."

Lu Mingxuan noticed that Jiang Yueli said "trouble" instead of "no way": "So it can actually be found?"

It was already very rude to ask such inquisitive questions, but Jiang Yueli was not angry when he thought that he had overestimated her surveillance, but thought about how to get over this question quickly.

"My mother rarely mentioned him when she was alive. I don't know his name, age and appearance. The only information is that he is a man. And my mother doesn't want me to disturb him."

"It can't be... a married man, right?" Lu Mingxuan cautiously guessed.

"No. My mother doesn't want to spoil herself like that." Jiang Yueli said after a pause, "Well, at least she didn't know it—she mentioned missions or something when I was very young, maybe it was because of He is regarded as an undercover agent with a heavy responsibility, so he has to keep it a secret."

This kind of argument makes sense, Miss Hua's vision is not so shallow, just because of a missing man who left her pregnant and disappeared.

Moreover, even the entire Hua family could not find a man, which is really unreasonable.

If there are reasons such as the great love of the family and the country, it seems logical that Hua Yige is willing to keep secrets for lovers who have gone through life and death, and leave blood.

"So..." Lu Mingxuan concluded, "Your father is actually a policeman or soldier or special agent?"

"I don't know, not necessarily." Jiang Yueli quickly vetoed, "It might be just a liar, my mother is actually very simple-minded, this kind of person is too easy to deceive, and many people like to use this kind of reason at that time. To date a little girl who doesn't know much about the world, maybe even the name is fake, it's too easy to disappear from the world, I can think of no less than ten ways in a second."

"..." Lu Mingxuan was silent for a moment, "Can you lower your standards a little bit and consider the IQ of normal people?"

"That's my father in the biological sense. From a genetic point of view-it's normal for a liar to have a high IQ." Jiang Yueli paused, then added, "Of course it might really be an undercover agent or something. But Then I don't need to track it down, and it would be bad to affect his mission."

Even though Jiang Yueli had no expression on her face, Lu Mingxuan could feel the malice coming to her face - not the kind of negative and dark emotions, but just...pure disgust.

Jiang Yueli really has no interest in her biological father at all, otherwise, according to her inherently strong desire to control, she would never give up her search for the truth with the reason of "influencing the mission".

To put it bluntly, I'm still so disgusted that I don't even have any interest in exploring it.

Seeing Lu Mingxuan's speechless expression, Jiang Yueli easily guessed what she was thinking, and she pursed her lips.

Should I tell her——

In fact, it's not just disgust, it's just that she doesn't want to break her mother's fantasy.

Since her mother died thinking her father was a hero, there was no need for her to find out the truth.

If she doesn't investigate, she will never be able to refute her mother's cognition.

But if she goes to track it down, then there is a half chance that the person her mother hides in her heart will be completely labeled as a liar.

And no matter whether they investigate or not, there is no way they will have any intersection in this life. It is better to leave this blank and leave the last piece of pure land for her dead mother.

But having said that, her dislike for that person is also true, so she decided to stop this topic here.

Sure enough, Lu Mingxuan didn't chase after this question that was destined to have no answer, but pushed forward Jiang Yueli's process of recalling the past sequentially: "What happened after that? When you were young, you just fought and dominated the sixteenth district? What about going to school? And what about the teacher? what happened?"

"I didn't go to school much before I was 16. My mother and my brother taught me. My brother would buy a lot of books, including textbooks from elementary school to middle school. When I grew up, I read more books."

Lu Mingxuan took a serious look at Jiang Yueli again, and realized that she couldn't associate her with the three words "uneducated": "...Why don't you go to school?"

"No money." Jiang Yueli answered sincerely and it was difficult to refute, "My mother originally hoped that I could be admitted to a good university and then do scientific research, but she basically gave up when it was time for me to go to primary school. This wish."

The lack of money here is not just because of the lack of tuition.

The Sixteenth District is located on the outskirts of K City, surrounded by twists and turns. Earlier, it was called a garbage dump.

The completely abandoned place has no public facilities at all, and the nearest school is nearly ten kilometers away in a straight line. The time spent on the road alone can be prohibitive.

The mother and daughter are barely able to maintain their daily expenses, and they have no spare energy to pay for the cost of going to school.

If it wasn't for Hua Zhaoying's frighteningly high IQ, and her mother who had just graduated from college and was able to teach her, she might have been wasted in that dark and dangerous place for the rest of her life.

When they grew up, a young man moved in next door to the mother and daughter, that is, Lin Chi, Hua Zhaoying's later teacher.

People come and go in the sixteenth district, and the flow of people changes very quickly. The aunt who took care of Hua Zhaoying when she was a child has long since left here. Just the dilapidated house next door has moved in and out of countless families.

Hua Yige's mother and daughter have stayed here longer than most people, and they have long been accustomed to the changes in the surrounding personnel, and they don't think there is anything special about this young man who just arrived.

Lin Chi was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he came to District [-]. He looked too young, but according to his later self-report, he had already graduated from college at that time.

It seems that because of something bad he did during the period, he had to temporarily hide in this remote area.

After moving next door to Hua's, Lin Chi has always lived in seclusion, and only occasionally went out to restock when the family's food stock ran out.

Originally, the two families had no intersection.

Their real contact was due to an accident. Hua Yige fell ill at home, and Hua Zhaoying had a conflict with a group of children outside.

It just so happened that Lin Chi passed by Hua Yige's house, saw the pale woman going out holding the door frame, and earnestly begged him to help find her daughter.

This is how Lin Chi got to know Hua Yige, mother and daughter.

I don't know where this poor pair of mother and daughter hit the softness in the secret of his heart, and he has been taking care of them ever since.

From time to time, it is normal to give some children's favorite food, and later, Hua Zhaoying took care of her learning problems.

Lin Chi was probably in the same category as Hua Zhaoying, with an astonishingly clever mind.

Unlike Hua Yige who felt a little strenuous after teaching her daughter the basics of reading and counting, Lin Chi can easily keep up with Hua Zhaoying's jumping thinking, and will always be able to answer all her questions.

So after getting acquainted with Lin Chi, Hua Zhaoying's education issues were all handed over to him.

Hua Yige called him Teacher Lin, while Hua Zhaoying called him Brother.

It's just that what Lin Chi really taught Hua Zhaoying was hidden from Hua Yige, and the big and small hooked their little fingers to agree that this was a little secret that the worried mother should not know.

This kind of ordinary daily life lasted until Hua Zhaoying was in her early ten years old. From about ten years old, Hua Yige's old illness broke out, and it became more and more serious. At the worst time, she couldn't even get up and could only lie on the sickbed all day long above.

After struggling for two years, Hua Yige still lost to the serious illness and passed away. Before she died, she entrusted her daughter to Lin Chi to take care of her.

Jiang Yueli did not go into detail about the details of these two years, but Lu Mingxuan had already heard the ending of this story from Hua Ye.

Hua Yige once tried to bring her daughter back to Hua's family, but was rejected. She had no money for medical treatment, and finally passed away worrying about her daughter.

The heavy heart made Lu Mingxuan subconsciously skip this period of time: "What about after that? Is your teacher still there?"

Jiang Yueli shook her head: "It's long gone."

When Lu Mingxuan wanted to ask something more, Mrs. Shen had just brought the last dish from the kitchen to the table.

"Zhaoying, Mingxuan, come to eat."

So the topic of "Hua Zhaoying's past" ends here.

Jiang Yueli hinted at Lu Mingxuan with his eyes, and the latter raised his hands in surrender, rearranged his expression very politely, put on a bright smile, and sat at the table with her.

"Is there really no need to wait for Shen...Uncle Shen?" Lu Mingxuan asked.

"No need, he probably won't come back until tomorrow morning, and then we can give him some hot food." Mrs. Shen said, "It's work, there's no other way, let's eat first."

Lu Mingxuan just nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and turned her head to see that Jiang Yueli had already started stuffing things into her mouth.

Lowering her head again, she found that Jiang Yueli's bowls were one size larger than ordinary people's.

It was obvious that they were already very familiar with each other, even a little too familiar.

Lu Mingxuan: "..."

Mrs. Shen noticed Lu Mingxuan's surprise, and couldn't help but smiled: "In the past few years, I have basically taken pictures to accompany me during the New Year, otherwise I would be a little deserted alone. You don't have to be polite when Mingxuan comes here for the first time, just be your own home. .”

When facing elders—especially such gentle and friendly elders, Lu Mingxuan would subconsciously restrain her edge, and at this time, she just obediently nodded in agreement.

The smile on Mrs. Shen's face deepened, and she continued: "I've already packed the guest rooms upstairs, and there are two rooms on the left when you go upstairs. The other Yueli knows about it, just ask her."

Lu Mingxuan was taken aback: "Hey, we--"

Jiang Yueli stepped on Lu Mingxuan's feet forcefully under the cover of the table.

Lu Mingxuan's voice changed temporarily: "—Okay, no problem, thank you, auntie."

This guy Jiang Yueli was too merciless, Lu Mingxuan's stern expression was uncontrollably distorted and painful.

It's just that she promised to come and spend the holiday together.

The person she chases will be pampered even on her knees.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but burst into tears from the bottom of her heart.

"Mingxuan, are you okay?" Mrs. Shen noticed Lu Mingxuan's strange expression, "If it's inconvenient, then-"

"No." Lu Mingxuan quickly shook her head, then nodded, "It's very convenient."

As if realizing that she was overreacting, Lu Mingxuan coughed lightly to ease her overly tense nerves.

"Anyway, I'm the only one when I go home. If I don't bother you, I will trouble you." Lu Mingxuan paused, and then remedied, "I was just too touched just now, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time, really It's so warm."

Madam Shen was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her expression softened a bit: "Eat more if you like."

Lu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Jiang Yueli who was still concentrating on eating, and gave a low "hmm".

When she lowered her head to eat, Lu Mingxuan's nose turned sore for some reason, and she almost shed tears in embarrassment.

Since the death of her parents, she has indeed not spent this festival that symbolizes reunion with others for many years.

Although she came here with her only to chase Jiang Yueli at first, she even muttered for a while because Jiang Yueli was not alone.

But until now, she seemed to suddenly understand why Jiang Yueli brought her here.

It's not just a sign of acceptance, it's probably also a hope that she won't be so lonely and deserted to spend this kind of festival.

The sadness only lasted for a moment, when Lu Mingxuan raised her head to pick up the vegetables, Jiang Yueli happened to be ahead of her and picked up the last leaf of the vegetables.

Lu Mingxuan glanced at the dining table as if waking up from a dream, and saw that the few dishes in front of her were completely empty, leaving only a little soup residue.

You don't need to think too much about the source, it's obvious that they all entered Jiang Yueli's stomach in another dimension.

The corners of Lu Mingxuan's eyes and mouth twitched wildly. Before, she was just marveling at Jiang Yueli's appetite, but when she purposely sat beside her out of some unspeakable thoughts, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis— —

When sitting on the side with Jiang Yueli, he would probably starve to death easily.

Everything that could be eaten was eaten up by Jiang Yueli.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but cast a glance at Mrs. Shen who was sitting opposite from the corner of her eye.

Mrs. Shen didn't seem to care about Jiang Yueli's eating speed like a reincarnation of a hungry ghost. Instead, she smiled and swapped the untouched plate in front of her with the empty plate opposite.

——Should I praise Jiang Yueli? Although the meal was surprisingly fast, he managed to maintain a little precarious "politeness" and did not pass on this amazing efficiency to others.

"There are still a lot of dishes in the kitchen, don't worry, eat slowly." Mrs. Shen seemed in a good mood, and when she saw Lu Mingxuan's surprised gaze, she explained, "I'm not in good health, and I can't eat many things , These are all prepared for you, don’t be too polite, I’ll get you anything else you want to eat.”

Jiang Yueli was really not polite. After swallowing what was in his mouth, he raised his head and winked at Mrs. Shen: "Aunt Xiu, I still want to eat fish balls and fried spring rolls."

Madam Shen smiled and handed Jiang Yueli a tissue to wipe off the sauce on her mouth, then got up and went into the kitchen.

At this time, Lu Mingxuan also slowly relaxed, stretching out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yueli was one step ahead of her.

Lu Mingxuan turned her head and stared quietly at Jiang Yueli.

Jiang Yueli felt that if there was a real sight from the side, she turned her head subconsciously. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the egg dumplings on the chopsticks, and asked tentatively, "You want to eat this too?"

Lu Mingxuan said quietly: "This is the last one..."

Jiang Yueli blinked, and suddenly smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up: "I won't give it to you."

With that said, Jiang Yueli put the chopsticks into his mouth.

"Ahhhhhhhhh bastard, you should save some for me!"

Lu Mingxuan finally succeeded, put down her chopsticks, and rushed towards Jiang Yueli, and without thinking about it, she rushed to bite the last egg dumpling before the other party actually stuffed it into her mouth.

"Bangdang-"

The sound of a wooden chair falling to the ground startled Mrs. Shen in the kitchen, she quickly turned around and came out: "What's the matter, according to—"

Lu Mingxuan pounced too hard, Jiang Yueli dodged subconsciously, and ended up forgetting the surrounding environment, both of them rolled onto the ground.
