When I wrapped myself up and walked to the opposite side of Zhuo Yuncheng with the Ursa who was about to hibernate, I instinctively felt embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, Uncle Zhuo, I've caught a cold recently. I shouldn't dress so casually when I see you."

Zhuo Yuncheng waved his hand: "It's my fault. I should have arranged the meeting place to be closer to you. I knew you were sick just by hearing your voice on the phone."

As he said this, he told the waiter beside him: "Bring me a cup of hot water."

I sat there and calmed down for a while, until I put my hands on the warm glass and felt a little more comfortable. I looked at Zhuo Yuncheng politely and smiled: "Uncle Zhuo, you specially made an appointment to see me here because you have something to do."

Tell me?"

This is the teahouse where my uncle brought me to meet Mr. Nan twice. It seems that they all like it here. However, the environment is quiet and not noisy, which is just right for me now that I am ill and my ears and brain are not very good.

Zhuo Yuncheng looked at me and smiled softly: "I should have met you earlier, Qiaoqiao, although we have only met once before, but I have heard a lot about you, and uncle doesn't like beating around the bush, so I'm here.

I came to tell you about you and Qilin."

Listening to his calm and unhurried voice, my expression became a little uncontrollably nervous, but I didn't ask any more questions. I just sat upright and waited for Zhuo Yuncheng's next words.

"Qiaoqiao, don't be nervous. I know that Qilin's mother doesn't really agree with the matter between you and Qilin, right?"

I nodded but still didn't respond. I was thinking in my mind, how can I not agree with it? It is quite necessary and there is no room for bargaining.

"Actually, we all naturally think about things from Qilin's point of view, but on the other hand, uncle knows that the pressure you have to face is higher than that of Qilin. Uncle wants to ask you, can you withstand these pressures?

, After all, this is your life-long event. These decisions are likely to change the trajectory of your life. What I need to determine is just whether you can persist. After all, this is not a child's play, and I don't want it to be my only choice.

Son, was emotionally hurt."

I found that Zhuo Yuncheng and Jiang Meiyuan are really different. At the very least, Zhuo Yuncheng's words made me feel full of sincerity. He not only analyzed from my perspective, but also indirectly told me that as a father, he should

Some are worried.

"Uncle, if I really get together with Zhuo Jing, I can give up everything I have now."

Although my words still sounded like a sniffle, I looked at him seriously and looked at Zhuo Jing's father Zhuo Yuncheng. I also wanted him to see my determination. I liked Zhuo Jing and it was not a joke.

Yes, you have to give up something anyway. If I choose him, I will naturally give up my identity as an Onmyoji. This is for sure.

Zhuo Yuncheng was speechless, his eyes were direct and frank but would not make me feel uncomfortable on my face. After a long while, he nodded, lightly holding the foot of the cup with his fingers, and after taking a sip, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Good tea.

"

Not to mention that I am slow to react now, even under normal circumstances I am not very good at saying anything to my elders. I drink when they drink, and I just drink hot water from the glass. Not to mention, my taste buds attacked by the cold virus are still alive.

I tasted a hint of sweetness.

After a while, he looked at me and smiled softly: "You have a cold. Can't you drive?"

I hummed: "I came here by taxi."

"Okay." Zhuo Yuncheng continued to respond: "I will ask the driver to take you back in a while. You look like this, so you need to rest more."

Is this the end?

I let out a breath in my heart and asked me to come out because of my attitude?

"As Qilin's father, apart from his work, I will not interfere with the rest of his life. Although Qilin's mother thinks that you are not suitable, I think that as long as young people like each other and stick to each other, I think that is

It’s appropriate, don’t you think?”

The conversation changed so quickly that I trembled in my heart, as if I knew what I was thinking.

Nodding: "Thank you, Uncle Zhuo. I didn't expect Uncle Zhuo to agree. I know I'm not worthy of Zhuo Jing. No matter what he and I are..."

"No one in this world is worthy of anyone else. If you use your own shortcomings to measure the strengths of others, you will feel inferior. If you use your own strengths to measure the shortcomings of others, you will be proud. You may not be able to do what Qilin can do, but you

Qilin cannot do what he can do. Only by using each other's strengths to make up for one's own shortcomings can long-term peace and stability be achieved..."

When Zhuo Yuncheng said this, he suddenly looked at me and smiled: "Uncle seems to have gone too far, but since we have said it here, let's talk more about this aspect. Uncle knows that you are very powerful.

Onmyoji, uncle would like to ask you if you know the relationship between chopsticks, yin and yang and between husband and wife?"

I smiled and looked up at him: "Uncle Zhuo, is this... considered a test question?" I knew that based on Qilin's body and how the rich pay attention to Feng Shui and numerology, I must also like to study gossip in private.

Yin and Yang, I just didn’t expect that he would actually bring me here while he was talking, maybe on purpose...

"Of course not, I just want to chat with you casually. After all, you are the youngest and most promising Onmyoji I have ever met. Mr. Nan is also full of praise for you, but if you don't want to talk about this, I won't either

Forced."

I still looked at him with a smile and opened my mouth: "No, Uncle Zhuo, I actually like talking about these things, but I didn't expect that you would also like it. There are two chopsticks in a pair, one end is square and the other is round. The square one is

The Kun hexagram symbolizes the earth, and the round one is the Qian hexagram, which symbolizes the sky. In this way, it is the phase of the universe. When using chopsticks to pick up food, not two chopsticks move at the same time, but one is active, one is driven, and one is on top.

, one root is at the bottom, active is yang, passive is yin, this is the phase of the two rituals, yin and yang interact, endless, if the chopsticks are separated, this Tai Chi will no longer exist, the same is true for the relationship between husband and wife, male yang and female yin, use

My uncle said that only by learning from each other’s strengths, complementing each other’s weaknesses, and working together as husband and wife can the family be harmonious and healthy.”

"pretty."

Zhuo Yuncheng's eyes were full of admiration, "You are indeed young and promising. It would be a pity if one day you come together with Qilin and are not allowed to become an Onmyoji."

I smiled modestly, with all kinds of rumblings in my mind. My brain was not working well. I came up with this word. Fortunately, I knew a little bit about the relationship between chopsticks and yin and yang. If I really couldn't explain it, he said it didn't matter.

, then wouldn’t I lose my share too!

But what I have to say is that when I faced Zhuo Yuncheng, I was much more relaxed than when I faced Jiang Meiyuan, because I felt that whatever Jiang Meiyuan said was nonsense, so I practiced my vigilance.

It was so high that I couldn't let go of my vigilance when I faced her again.

"Qiao Qiao, although uncle does not object to the matter between you and Qilin, he will try his best to persuade your aunt not to interfere. But uncle heard that you know about Qilin's current relationship with the Rong family's daughter, right?"

My face turned pale, and I nodded softly: "I know."

Zhuo Yuncheng's expression was also slightly serious: "Qilin should be hiding something from me. According to his character, since he only wants to be with you, how could he agree to develop a relationship with the daughter of the Rong family and get engaged and married in the future?

, I will talk to Qilin, young people sometimes do things without caring about the consequences, and I don’t want him to do anything embarrassing to the group."

I lowered my eyes and didn't answer. I guessed that it was normal. He was Zhuo Jing's father. I still knew what my son was like. However, this reminded me again. Zhuo Yuncheng could guess that Jiang Meiyuan was not in her heart.

Do you understand more clearly that she is determined that I am willing to be a child, so she has never interfered in this matter?

"Forget it, I've said too much, Qiaoqiao. In fact, I just want to tell you one thing when I see you today. I will not hinder your relationship with Qilin, but there is one thing you must promise me."

"What's up."

Zhuo Yuncheng took another sip of tea, looked at me and took a deep breath: "Zhuo Wei has told me everything about you. I also know that your body is not something you can choose. Since it can be normal through surgery,

I can completely accept that, but my bottom line is that this matter cannot be exposed by the media and cause a fuss, Qiaoqiao, I think you know what I want to express, right?"

I was shaken in my heart, but I still nodded bravely.

"From the day I heard your name, I treated you as an ordinary girl. Zhuo Wei also said a lot of things for you, some from the perspective of being your little uncle, and some from the perspective of being your little uncle.

It was told from a doctor’s perspective. He made it very clear. I can accept it in my heart and don’t think it’s inappropriate. However, I hope only my family members know about this matter. If it becomes known to everyone, Qiao Qiao, then

Uncle, I will never agree to your relationship with Qilin again. If you really want to be with Qilin, I hope you will have surgery as soon as possible so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

…

That night I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. My head was still very dizzy. I didn't know if the trip out had made my condition worse. What Zhuo Yuncheng told me repeatedly echoed in my ears. I knew very well that if I wanted to talk to Zhuo Yuncheng,

Naturally, I can't let everyone know that I am intersex, but I still feel awkward and uncomfortable, as if I was wearing a pair of dirty socks to visit someone else's house. I am already very careful to avoid dirtying other people's floors, but the host still wants to be on the safe side.

I would like to remind you to put on a pair of socks, even though you know what I said is true, you still feel depressed.

I spent the night in a daze. In the morning, I felt that the joints of my arms and legs were extremely sore and weak. I couldn't see people's faces clearly. Xiaoni helped me pack my things. Zhuo Jing called me and said he wanted to come see me. I lied to him directly.

He said that I was already halfway in the car. Although he was a little unhappy, he knew from my voice that I was still sick and didn't say anything. He just told me that he would also come to my house after New Year's Eve and that he must meet me.

I said something like "meeting my grandpa", hung up the phone, took medicine and blew my nose.

Wen Xiaoni stopped cleaning up for a moment, looked at me and opened her mouth in confusion: "Jiaolong, why did you lie to Zhuo Jing? We haven't left yet."

I shook my head and didn't want to answer. I didn't know. Maybe I was in a bad mood during the illness. I was in a particularly bad mood and had all kinds of emotions. In short, it was very messy.

While Xiaoni was driving, I took cold medicine and fell asleep all the way. My mother was waiting for me at the door. As soon as she saw me getting out of the car, she held my hand with a happy face: "Dad! Qiaoqiao! You are finally back."

I forced myself to smile at my mother, coughed twice, opened my mouth and asked, "Where's dad?"

"He went to see your uncle and came back after a while. Isn't it still uncomfortable? I'm most afraid of catching a cold in winter. Come on, come in quickly and rest for a while. Let's have dinner at four o'clock!!"

I went back and unloaded the things I brought back, and asked Wen Xiaoni to drive directly back to their house, and then followed my mother and grandfather in. My aunt was sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds, and rolled her eyes at me without saying a word.

, but he looked at my grandpa and said: "Uncle, come here and eat some melon seeds. You are doing well in the city. I saw that you are taking advantage of Qiao Qiao!"

I was not in the mood to talk to her. Everyone felt dizzy. My mother took me upstairs and whispered in my ear: "You don't need to pay attention to her. We just finished our quarrel. An Qi will sue you when she comes back."

It’s like you were making out with Xiaojing and trying to win over her. Mom thinks you did the right thing and Xiaojing is yours.”

After coughing twice, I waved my hand: "Mom, I don't want to talk about this. I want to find a place to sleep again. Can you call me after dinner?"

"Okay, you can live in this room inside, Mom will take care of it for you!"

My mother said, and pulled up a room for me. When I passed by the door of An Qi's room, I heard An Qi's voice shouting in the room: "Who are you talking about? I'm telling you! Don't spit on my head!"

I've never done it before! You're so shameless, you didn't help me figure it out and now you dare to beat me up! If you make me angry, I'll go to the TV station to shake you out!!"

Look, let me tell you, they must have pinched each other.

My mother kept curling her lips when she heard An Qi's voice, and whispered in my ear: "I don't know what's wrong with this girl. She came back with phone calls one after another. She was scolded by this person, just like her mother."

Son."

My mind was very heavy, and in the end I had no intention to talk to my mother. I fell down on the bed and fell asleep again. My mother very thoughtfully covered me with a quilt and said, "Qiaoqiao, just sleep, we will eat later."
