When the old man saw them, he was full of smiles and said, "Little Fuwa, you are finally here. Come over and have a look at me."

Huaimi responded sweetly: "Grandpa~"

The little cub's voice was soft and waxy, and his eyebrows were curled up in laughter. This "Grandpa" made the old man grin from ear to ear.

"Little Fuwa is so beautifully dressed today. The pearl necklace goes well with you. You seem to have grown taller."

Seeing Mr. Shen, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the old man she met in the hospital last time? She didn't expect that they were so destined.

"Thank you, old man, for the pearl necklace. Mimi likes it very much." Ye Zhen walked over with the gift box and said, "I wish the old man good fortune and longevity!"

"I said I wasn't allowed to bring gifts, so why did I bring gifts anyway?" The old man said with a straight face, pretending to be angry.

Ye Zhen smiled and said: "This is a painting I drew myself. Please don't dislike it, sir."

"Did you draw it yourself? Let me take a look."

Mr. Shen took over the hand and unfolded it. He saw that what Ye Zhen painted was an ink freehand painting. In the painting, red plum blossoms are dotted on the branches, with alternating sparse and dense shapes, fresh and flexible;

In the blank space is an ancient poem about red plum blossoms. The handwriting is like flowing clouds and flowing water, which complements the painting and is very ancient.

The old man's eyes lit up and he praised: "The painting is really good."

"As long as you like it."

"I like it, I like it so much!" The old man couldn't put it down, holding it in his hand and looking at it again and again.

Huaimi also took out the gift box from her small schoolbag and handed it to Mr. Shen, "Grandpa, here it is."

"Little Fuwa gave Grandpa another gift!" Mr. Shen carefully put away the red plum picture in his hand, smiling so hard, "Come, Grandpa, see what the little Fuwa gave you?"

The old man took it and opened it. It turned out to be a box of sophora flowers, which looked quite fresh and exuded a light fragrance.

"Thank you, little Fuwa. Grandpa also liked the sophora flowers you gave to grandpa last time."

"Isn't that right? After drying it, I couldn't bear to throw it away. I even made it into a specimen and hung it on the wall." Shen Xixin added.

Little Huaimi didn't expect grandpa to like her gift so much, but the locust tree is full of treasures, and she was very happy to see grandpa like it.

After giving the gifts, Ye Zhen wanted to go shopping. After all, Mr. Shen was the protagonist today, and she was just an ordinary guest. It was a bit overwhelming to stay with him all the time.

However, Mr. Shen was very enthusiastic and kept chatting with her: "I didn't even have time to tell you last time that I am Xixin's grandfather. Little Fuwa would give me things every time she came to the hospital. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be like this

The disease may not heal that quickly! Your children are so cute."

Xiao Huaimi was so happy with the praise that she leaned on Gu Zelan's shoulder and smiled sweetly.

Ye Zhen also politely replied: "Your little Shen is also very good."

The old man smiled and slandered: "He is just a naughty guy who is so angry that he will not pay for his life! He was more cute when he was young, but he becomes less cute as he gets older!"

Shen Xixin refused to accept it, "Grandpa, can't you save some face for me in front of Aunt Ye?"

"You don't have any face, so why do you want face?"

Shen Xixin pretended to be aggrieved, and Huaimi looked at her beautiful brother and smiled even brighter.

It was so lively today, the atmosphere here was joyful, she liked it very much.

Ye Zhen politely praised Shen Xixin.

Mr. Shen enthusiastically picked up the topic again and said, "I didn't expect you could draw and be so good at it."

"I took Chinese painting as an elective in college and learned some lessons from a teacher, but I only learned a little bit and couldn't get into the elegant hall. The old gentleman was just laughing!"

"It's pretty good to be able to paint so well. My wife used to like painting a lot. She liked painting plum blossoms the most, but there aren't many left. When I saw your painting, it reminded me of what she painted when she was young.

In this picture of red plum blossoms, your paintings are really very similar." The old man was very moved.

"As long as the old gentleman likes it," Ye Zhen said, "I'm not good at studying, I'm afraid I'm far behind the old lady's painting skills."

"you are too humble……"

Mr. Shen is today's birthday boy. Coupled with the status of the Shen family, the old man's side is the center of attention. Seeing the old man, Ye Zhen and others enjoying themselves, it inevitably arouses the curiosity of the guests.

"Who are those people in front of Mr. Shen...?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Why do I always feel a little familiar?"

"Which family is it from? It's rare for Mr. Shen to be so enthusiastic. I thought Mr. Shen would only scold people with a straight face! Just now, the Yu family went over to celebrate their birthday, and the old man looked indifferent."

"The Yu family has had issues with the old man before. It's strange that the old man can look so nice."

"Oops! I remembered that the one in the red skirt looks a bit like Mrs. Shen when she was young."

"You can see this too? Could it be that the old man has an illegitimate daughter?"

"Don't be so arrogant. Maybe it's just that they look alike. The old man and the old lady are so loving, how can you make fun of them like this?"

"But there are some similarities, especially the eyebrows."

…

"Mr. Shen!" someone said.

The rest of the discussion also stopped abruptly.

I saw two men walking this way. The man walking in front was tall and slender, wearing a pressed suit, his hair was meticulously combed, his facial features were deep, his expression was serious, and he had a strong aura. His steps were slightly lagging behind.

His masculine temperament is gentle and elegant, and his age does not show.

Everyone changed their smiling faces to greet the visitors.

The man pursed his thin lips into a thin line, hummed lukewarmly, and walked straight in the direction of Mr. Shen.

"Hey, Wen Ji, who are they talking about?"

Shen Wenji: "I don't know."

The two of them walked forward and immediately saw the woman sitting next to the old man. The old man had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. He was chatting with her in a lively manner.

When Shen Wenji looked over, the woman happened to be leaning sideways to help the toddler on the ground. He didn't see her face.

"Dad! It's time to pass." Shen Wenji said.

Ye Zhen heard someone coming, picked up Huaimi from the ground and handed it to Gu Zelan.

The dress she wore today is not suitable for holding a child.

"Ye Zhen, let me introduce to you, this is my son, Shen Wenji. This is Wen Ji's good friend, Chu An." The old man said happily, "Wen Ji, this is the teacher Ye Zhen who helped me last time.

She is also the mother of little Fuwa, and she is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts. The one as big as Asarum is Zeelan, and the little one is Huaimi."

Shen Wenji's eyes fell on Ye Zhen. Thinking back to what those people said just now, he suddenly felt that this person looked very familiar. His gaze seemed to stay a little too long.

Chu An looked at Shen Wenji, then at Ye Zhen, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Ye is a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts. No wonder she is so temperamental."

Ye Zhen also smiled politely and said: "Hello, Mr. Shen, Mr. Chu."

Shen Wenji looked away and said, "Thank you for helping my father."

"It's nothing but a little effort. The old gentleman is just being polite."

"If you don't entertain me well, please help yourself." Shen Wenji said politely. Then, he told Shen Xixin: "Greeting to your friends."

"I know." Shen Xixin replied casually.

Huaimi looked at the tall man who came over curiously. Was he the father of the beautiful brother? But the beautiful brother looked nothing like him. He was so majestic!

When Huaimi looked at him, Shen Wenji also happened to look over. The little girl was pretty and had a pair of bright, beautiful black eyes. Those black eyes seemed to be able to filter out all the dirt and impurities in the world.

The little girl wasn't afraid of him, she just looked at him curiously with her big eyes open.

Shen Wenji was surprised that this little girl was very courageous and was not scared to tears by him. He was very similar to the old man when he was young. They were both very tall and did not inherit Mrs. Shen's gentle and delicate side at all, and his personality was more like Shen Wenji's. The old man is usually very stern, so most children are afraid of him.

He couldn't help but take another look at the little girl.

The little girl winked at him mischievously and shouted inarticulately: "susu."

Shen Xixin was amused, "It's uncle, not Su Su."

The cute little milky voice of milk made Shen Wenji's eyebrows widen and he said, "Good sophora rice!"

This uncle is so smart that he remembered his name right away.

Xiao Huaimi looked at him with a crooked smile.

Shen Wenji gave her a slight smile, and then went to help the old man.

Shen Xixin was horrified by her father's dark-faced smile. She couldn't help but poke Huaimi's little cheek, "Little Huaimi, you are really loved by everyone!"

Huaimi wiped the face that was poked by Shen Xixin and glared at Shen Xixin angrily.

Her cheek could only be poked by her brother.

Gu Zelan changed her hand and moved her from the right to the left, moving away from Shen Xixin.

Shen Xixin: "Hey, little Huaimi, why are you so unwilling to meet me?"

The old man reminded: "Xiao Xin, bring the gifts from your Aunt Ye and Xiao Fuwa."

"Let me come, Xixin goes to accompany your friend."

"Thank you, Uncle Chu."

After walking far away, Chu An lowered his voice and asked Shen Wenji, "Is Miss Ye a relative of your family?"

"no."

"Why do I feel that what those people discussed just now is right, she really looks like Aunt Gao." Chu An said with a smile.

"There are so many people who look alike."

"I'm serious, if..."

Chu An stopped talking mid-sentence. This was the pain of the Shen family. On a good day like today, we shouldn't mention the scar.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Shen Xixin went out with Gu Zelan for a stroll, mainly to play with little Huaimi.

Huaimi opened her eyes wide and looked around. This place was so beautiful, with flowers everywhere, fountains, and rockeries. It was more lively and beautiful than the park Aunt Zhang took her to.

Shen Xixin and Gu Zelan chatted incessantly, mostly Shen Xixin said, and Gu Zelan listened indifferently.

"Brother Shen!" A small figure came over on a scooter.

Shen Xixin looked over after hearing this, "It turns out to be Xiao Xi! Are you alone?"

"Mom was called by Aunt Jiang." The little boy stopped in front of them and looked at Gu Zelan, "I have seen this brother before."

Gu Zelan looked at him indifferently, and Huaimi also looked at him.

This little brother is also good-looking, and his voice is a bit familiar, but Huaimi can't remember where he has seen him before.

Shen Xixin became interested and glanced at Gu Zelan. Seeing that Gu Zelan didn't respond, she asked the little boy again, "Oh? When have you seen him before?"

"Last year, I went to visit my father in a small town and almost fell down. My elder brother caught me." The little boy spoke eloquently and eloquently. "I also gave my little sister a cartoon balloon."

Gu Zelan was surprised by the little boy's memory. The boy looked only three or four years old, but he didn't expect his memory to be so good.

Xiao Huaimi also remembered that it was the little brother she met when she and her brother accompanied her mother to the town to go through the demolition procedures. The little brother gave her a glowing cartoon balloon. She thought it was a firefly at the time.

It turns out that this little brother and the beautiful brother know each other!

She hasn't thanked him for the cartoon balloons yet.

"Xiao Xi is awesome. I remember everything last year so clearly." Shen Xixin didn't seem surprised and even complimented her.

The little boy looked at little Huaimi in Gu Zelan's arms, "Brother, can I play with my sister?"

Gu Zelan: "She's still young and doesn't know how to skate."

"I can play other games with her."

Shen Xixin knew that Gu Zelan was worried, so she said, "Let them play! There are surveillance cameras everywhere and security personnel are watching. There is no one else today, so don't worry about getting lost."

"Do you want to go on?" Gu Zelan asked Xiao Huaimi.

Huaimi nodded, she can walk now, her little feet always want to walk to feel comfortable.

Gu Zelan: "Then you just play here, you can't go far, my sister can't walk yet."

The little boy nodded, "Don't worry, brother, I will play here and I will take good care of my sister."

Gu Zelan put the little Huaimi on the ground. The little Huaimi walked unsteadily, and the little boy came forward to hold her, "Sister, be careful."

Two children were playing by the flower bed. Gu Zelan and Shen Xixin were sitting on the bench watching them.

The two children were obedient. They played for a long time without arguing or running around. Gu Zelan said to Shen Xixin, "Please help me keep an eye on it. I'll go to the bathroom."

"Go for it!"

As soon as Gu Zelan left, several boys and girls of similar age came over to chat with Shen Xixin.

Huaimi looked at the flower bed for a long time. These flowers were so beautiful, but it was a pity that they had no aura and were just ordinary flowers and plants.

Huaimi walked staggeringly towards the small square not far away on her short legs.

It's open and beautiful here, and there aren't that many people there yet, so she can walk around as she pleases.

There is a pool in the center of the square ahead. The fountain in the pool sprays fine water, which can spray out of the pool every once in a while. It looks like a solar rain in the sun.

So beautiful~

Seeing her staring at her intently, the little boy asked: "You like it very much?"

"Yeah." Huaimi nodded.

"Do you want to play?"

"Uh-huh."

"I'll take you to play."

Huaimi nodded expectantly, her eyes sparkling like stars twinkling.

Xiao Xi looked into her eyes and felt more and more that she had to go.

He led Huaimi under the spray and was drenched in mist.

The two children became more and more excited as they played, and Xiao Xi said: "Mimi, pretend we are seeds. It's raining now, and we want to sprout in the rain."

"Yeah." Mimi also wants to sprout~

Just as the two were having fun, two shadows came over them.
