It was almost time for the dinner, Lin Weiwei and Fu Xiaowan left from the corner, when Fu Qiuye returned to the bench, Xiao Shu stood by the railing at some point, with a cigarette in his hand, his hair was getting more and more The strong sea wind was blowing in a mess, staring at the horizon and not knowing what to think.

Fu Qiuye called his name, his shoulders shrugged nervously, he turned around, quickly stifled the cigarette on the trash can, and explained deliberately: "I smelled sister Xia Yi's cigarette smell, a little Addicted."

Fu Qiuye stretched out his hand to tidy up his hair, leaned beside him, observed his expression under the dim light, with a natural and relaxed tone, and said with a smile: "Smoking while pregnant?"

Xiao Shu was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head to look around.Fu Qiuye put his arms around his shoulders comfortingly: "Scared you, no one saw it, and there is no camera."

Xiao Shu's whole body was stiff, he looked very guilty, and his voice was astringent: "Sorry..."

Fu Qiuye smiled in a low voice, took his hand, put it close to his ear, and whispered: "Those two guys are kicking my stomach."

Xiao Shu's gaze shifted to his belly, Fu Qiuye let out a "shh", and drew his attention back to himself, then quietly put the other hand on his belly, and lightly touched his belly button with his index finger somewhere on the edge.

"I kicked here first, then kicked here," his voice was low and steady, even the sea breeze couldn't blow it away, and he stuck firmly to Xiao Shu's eardrum, "The other one is not to be outdone, he usually doesn't like to move, I don't know what happened today, I kicked a few times in this area..."

Xiao Shu looked at the hands on his stomach, with all his concentration, he could almost outline the two little guys doing radio gymnastics in his head. Perceived small arc.

"No wonder you want to vomit so much." He pressed Fu Qiuye's forehead.

Fu Qiuye took advantage of the opportunity to kiss his cold cheek, withdrew his hand, and squeezed his less tense arm: "I just took two nutritional tablets, and I feel better. Hurry up and go home after this meal."

Xiao Shu took a deep breath, clasped Brother Ye's hand gratefully, and looked at his watch. The time was indeed almost up.

There were only the two of them left in the rest area. Li Xing and Huang Qichen stood by the door chatting while waiting for them, and they didn't know how long they had been guarding them.Fu Qiuye took Xiao Shu's hand and walked over. Li Xing stopped talking first, and said, "I can't go to the dinner party held by your boss. I'm in the box next to me. I can call anytime if I need something. Director Xiao and Sister Xia Tian have already Waiting."

"Thank you." Fu Qiuye said, "Go back and treat you to dinner."

Li Xing whistled, and looked around at him with interest: "Then you owe me twice together."

Several people laughed, Huang Qichen urged them to go quickly, Xiao Shu waved at them, and walked with Brother Ye to the box on the third floor.

The dinner party is a traditional part of the Fu family's family banquet. Each branch and department eats separately. After eating, there will be a time for toasting in turn. The toast can be exaggerated until the early morning of the next day.Both Fu Qiuye and Xiao Shu wanted to make a quick decision, and briefly discussed a few points that should be paid attention to on the way, and then the lady of etiquette led them to the innermost box.

It is said to be a private room, but it is actually comparable to the size of a small banquet hall. As soon as you enter, you will see an extremely long dining table. All the decorations are in the style of medieval European aristocrats.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the people in the whole box turned their eyes almost at the same time.

Xiao Shu quickly scanned the members around the table: the head of the family, Fu Wengeng, was sitting on the main seat, and the second seat was full of tableware. It was supposed to be the hostess of the Fu family, but the seat was empty and no one was sitting.The guest seat below is Xiao Lingyun, the guest seat is Xia Tian, ​​followed by Fu Qiuming, Fu Qiuxing, Xia Yi, and Fu Xiaowan.

The last two vacancies were for him and Fu Qiuye.

The housekeeper who sent him the invitation letter last time invited them to sit down, Fu Qiuye nodded politely to the people in the room, and sat in his own seat with Xiao Shu.

Except for the vacant vice seat, everyone in the box was present.

Xiao Shu only heard Fu Qiuye mention his mother once.When they returned to Fu's house for the first time after getting married, Fu Qiuye said in a casual tone in the car: "My mother passed away very early, and I almost don't remember what she looked like."

Xiao Shu's eyes stayed on the empty deputy seat for a short while, and then looked back at Fu Wengeng after a while.

The Patriarch, who had just finished a long meeting, didn't look tired at all. He changed into more casual clothes, and with a rare smile on his face, he said, "I'm so glad to be able to invite my old in-laws. It's been five years. It is the first time that our family banquet is so complete, today is a good day. Old Wu, come and serve."

Xiao Lingyun didn't smile on his face. Obviously, he didn't have a very pleasant conversation with him before, and he didn't like the title of "in-law" at all, so he just said politely: "You're welcome."

The servants behind him began to arrange the dishes, serve the dishes, and pour the wine in a well-trained manner.The box is decorated in such a European style, but the dishes are typical Chinese dishes. The first dish is soup, which is hot, and the dregs are cleaned up, and there is no smell of what is in it.

The servant poured wine for Xiao Shu, but Fu Qiuye stretched out his hand to stop it, when Fu Wengeng, who was sitting in the main seat, already said, "Swap Xiao Shu for warm fruit juice."

Xiao Shu looked up, nodded and said, "Thank you."

After saying thank you, the family banquet fell into absolute silence.Everyone was drinking soup quietly, and even the sound of tableware colliding was restrained to the extreme.Xiao Shu had always felt that Brother Ye's dining etiquette was too exaggerated, but compared with this family, Fu Qiuye's habits were completely normal.

Xiao Shu has no appetite, and his attention is almost all on his lover beside him.He took a sip of the soup, and after confirming that there was no fishy smell that might make Fu Qiuye sick, he put down the spoon and glanced lightly at Fu Qiuming who was opposite him.

The eyes of the two just met, Xiao Shu frowned slightly, without avoiding it, and naturally looked away again.

For a moment, a familiar voice sounded from the table, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop: "Is it not to your liking?"

Everyone raised their heads, Fu Qiuming looked at Xiao Shu with a smile, and couldn't ask this question more casually.

Fu Qiuye put down his spoon and said, "He has been eating less recently, thank you for your concern."

Xiao Shu didn't speak, and acquiesced to Fu Qiuye's statement. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and even Xiao Lingyun, who was seated in the guest seat, frowned.

Fu Wengeng laughed twice, and put the topic to rest: "Old Wu, change the dishes."

The soup was removed and served with steamed fish.I don't know what kind of sea fish is used in this dish, and the umami taste inside is preserved to the maximum extent. When the plate is lifted, not to mention Fu Qiuye, who is sensitive during pregnancy, even Xiao Shu can smell the indescribable smell. The taste of "sea".

He didn't glance at Fu Qiuye beside him from the corner of his eye, nor did he move his chopsticks, he directly beckoned to the servant behind him, and said in a low voice, "Change one."

The servant came to take his plate and replaced it with a dish of stewed chicken.Xiao Shu still didn't take the chopsticks, and said after a while: "Replace Brother Ye's as well."

Everyone was looking at him, and he waited quietly for Fu Qiuye's fish to also withdraw, then finally picked up the pair of chopsticks that had been neglected for a long time, smiled apologetically at Fu Wengeng who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "Look at that!" Well, I'm really not in good health recently, I don't want to smell something fishy, ​​I hope it didn't spoil your interest."

Fu Wengeng looked disappointed, and said with a smile: "Well, I didn't think carefully, Lao Wu, change all the fishy dishes. It's rare for you to come back once, just let go and eat." , Just mention what you want to eat, and I'll let them make it for you."

Xiao Shu just laughed, didn't speak any more, gave him a face, bowed his head and started eating.The banquet fell into silence again. Thanks to the strict table manners of the Fu family, Xiao Shu quietly took a sip of each dish, drank half a glass of fruit juice at the end, put down his tableware first, and wiped the corners of his mouth .

The rest of the people were obviously not eating seriously. As soon as he put it away, they put down the tableware one after another.Xiao Shu glanced at Brother Ye beside him, he might be the only one here who deserves the food on this table, because he basically finished every dish.

At the end of the meal, when it came time for dessert, this weird spell of "not talking while eating" was finally broken. Xia Yi was the first to stand up with a wine glass in her hand. She toasted Fu Wengeng, who was in charge, and Xiao Lingyun and Xia Tian. , Today's dinner officially entered the theme.

Starting from the younger generation, first Xia Yi, then Fu Qiuxing, Fu Xiaowan, Fu Qiuming, toasted to the elders one by one.It was Xiao Shu and Fu Qiuye's turn, one was holding juice and the other was holding a wine glass. Xiao Shu said first, "Uncle Fu, I would like to toast you first. I wish you good health and success in your career."

He drank the juice, and Fu Wengeng, who was in charge, also drank it cheerfully. When Fu Qiuye was about to drink, he held down his hand, and then raised the second cup: "Brother Ming, Brother Xing, Sister Yi, Sister Xiaowan, thanks to you for taking care of me before, it is rare to get together today, so I would like to toast you too."

The four people on the opposite side all stood up, with smiles on their faces except Fu Qiuxing, and politely drank the cup with Xiao Shu.

Xiao Shu still pressed Fu Qiuye's hand, not letting him drink, and filled the third cup by himself.

With a smile on his lips, he turned to look at Fu Qiuye beside him.

"Brother Ye and I ended our five-year marriage because of some such and other things a while ago. Because it's not something to be happy about, I haven't officially told you about it."

There was silence at the table again, and everyone looked at him.

"Since I'm not a partner, today I'm the guest and Brother Ye is the host, so I should also toast him. However, some time ago, I found something unexpected in my stomach, so it's a little too strange to really want to respect. So I drank this cup, you are not allowed to drink, thank you for your love and dedication over the years, thank you for starting again."

Xiao Shu stared at his lover in front of him, raised his head under the eyes of Qi Dao with different emotions, and finished drinking the third glass of juice.
