The grandfather’s home is on the seaside, and there is a small fishing village here. Although Mingzhu Island is an artificial island, it was also developed from a primitive island. At that time, there were already some aborigines on the island. In line with the principle of resettling the island,
The Cui family who acquired the island at that time did not allow these fishermen to relocate, but allowed them to continue to live on the island, which has become a special landscape on this commercialized island.
Xiaotao and the others were warmly welcomed into the house. I heard that she was the one who saved her wife's life. Grandma Liu hurriedly prepared a large table of dishes. They say they eat by the sea, and it turned out to be a table full of seafood, which Xiaotao was very satisfied with.
I seriously doubt that I will have a nightmare tonight about diving into the sea and being chased by shrimps, soldiers, and crabs. Especially during the dinner, Grandpa Liu also made a small joke.
"There are not many children with such a heart nowadays. It would be great if we could get a couple together."
Han Xiaotao coughed violently, but Bai Ziling smiled to cater to the old man. In the eyes of the old couple, Bai Ziling was definitely a standard good boy, with a bright smile, well-spoken words, and elegant manners. Even Han Xiaotao couldn't help but laugh.
A little jealous.
After bidding farewell to the old couple, Bai Ziling walked along the beach with Xiaotao.
"I'm very happy today. I can sit with strangers in a strange place and eat like a family. After all, I haven't felt like this for a long time." Bai Ziling took a deep breath, and her nose seemed to be filled with salty food.
the taste of.
"It's really warm to see Grandma Liu and Grandpa supporting each other like this. It's a perfect life for two people to live like this for the rest of their lives. But it's a pity that their children don't seem to be around, and the old man should be the same.
Are you a little disappointed?" Han Xiaotao was thinking about her grandfather and couldn't help but speak sadly.
"If they have each other, they won't be lonely. The world between two people cannot tolerate other people, even children." Bai Ziling said disapprovingly.
"Is it like this?" Han Xiaotao found this logic a bit funny. Doesn't it mean that a happy family can be regarded as a happy family? But she was too lazy to argue with Bai Ziling. He didn't know how many fallacies he had in his stomach.
Even before it started, Han Xiaotao was already resigned to losing.
"You will know when you fall in love with someone." Bai Ziling suddenly stopped and looked at Han Xiaotao, "Have you ever tried to fall in love with someone?"
"Ah? Love?" Han Xiaotao thought of Cui Minhao. Is that kind of feeling considered love? Maybe she cares, but it's not to the point where she can't tolerate others. At least she is. Wouldn't she still have to live her life without him? "I
I don’t know. Even if you like someone very much, you probably won’t do that.”
"That means you haven't really fallen in love with someone." Bai Ziling murmured, with a smile on his lips.
Han Xiaotao looked at this strange guy and curled her lips, "By the way, didn't you say you were looking for someone? It's not too early now, are you looking for that 'very special' person of yours?" She joked.
laughed.
"Sooner or later, I'm going to find her. I'm not in a hurry now. It's not an important matter anyway. Why don't you tell me where you live and I'll take you back." Bai Ziling suddenly became a gentleman again. Han Xiaotao felt that there was a sense of resignation in him.
The elusive breath is sometimes very clear and sometimes very deep.
"No, I can go back by myself." Han Xiaotao waved his hand.
"The British education I received since childhood taught me that it is not a gentleman's behavior to let a girl go home by herself." Bai Ziling said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"But I'm not a British girl." Han Xiaotao answered naturally. "So, let's get along in our own way. I'll leave first." She waved her hand and hurried away from this place.
An awkward atmosphere. She didn't know why, but Bai Ziling's eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ziling grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and touched her face with his cheek.
Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment. Her face suddenly felt hot, and when the sea breeze blew it, it was instantly cold to the bone. What... was he doing?
"British farewell, is this okay?" Bai Ziling whispered in her ear.
"Eh?" Han Xiaotao was speechless for a moment.
But the sound came first from behind.
"Han Xiaotao!"
Han Xiaotao had only heard such a gnashing tone from one person in her life. She was startled and quickly pushed Bai Ziling away. When she turned around, she saw that it was Cui Minhao. The scene just now, from his point of view, was...
I don't know what happened. Han Xiaotao suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and looked at Cui Minhao at a loss.
Cui Minhao looked at the person opposite Han Xiaotao with a dark face for a long time, then walked straight forward, grabbed Han Xiaotao's wrist, stared at Han Xiaotao with cannibalistic eyes and asked: "You have been out all day, are you going to be with this guy?"
Are the guys together?"
Although Han Xiaotao doesn't have any special affection for Bai Ziling, he helped save the old grandfather today. At least it can be seen that he is a kind person, but his behavior is a little frivolous. It is probably because of his education that he always has a good heart, so he treats Cui Minhao.
This way of speaking was very dissatisfying. Moreover, he looked at her carefully and warily, as if she had done something shameful. Han Xiaotao was already grudged about the mobile phone, but now she was even more resentful, so she was not angry.
Said: "What is this guy? He helped a lot today, that's why we came together. I just took him to visit the school, and..."
"Are you defending him like this?" Cui Minhao asked coldly.
Han Xiaotao was stunned for a moment. She was just explaining what happened, why is it called maintenance? "Don't make trouble unreasonably. We just met by chance, helped an old man together, and were invited to dinner, so we met. It's nothing.
A special relationship." Even though she felt a little reluctant and confused, looking at Cui Minhao's eyes, she couldn't help but explain a few more words.
But Cui Minhao became more and more annoyed and interrupted her: "Han Xiaotao, are you such a casual person? If you meet someone on the street, you can have dinner together casually, and you don't go home so late together? Do you know how long I have been looking for you? You
Do you have any brains? Are you planning not to take your phone with you every time you go out and make people worry all the time?"
This series of questions caused Han Xiaotao's little volcano to erupt. She shook off Cui Minhao's hand and said loudly: "Can't I make other friends? I'm not a child, so I don't need you to stare at me all day long.
"Whether or not you have a phone call is my business, you don't need to worry." She rushed out angrily, completely ignoring the remaining two people.
Cui Minhao turned pale with anger, but refused to admit the grievances he felt. He was obviously looking for her and worried to death, but when he saw her walking on the beach with another man, couldn't he still ask? He couldn't swallow this breath.
He simply didn't chase her and let her go further and further away.
Bai Ziling was forgotten beside him, but he was happy to watch such a farce. After a long time, he said quietly: "So that rumor is true."
Only then did Cui Minhao remember that there was another person here. He turned around and looked at him coldly, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"The eldest son of the Cui family, the future heir of the Sapphire Group, is dating an ordinary gardener's granddaughter. Ha, I really don't know what Director Cui will think if he knows about this. Will he fly back from his hometown immediately?"
Bai Ziling said with a smile on his face, jokingly.
Cui Minhao's back stiffened and his eyes became sharp, as if a scalpel was about to dissect the person in front of him. "Who are you?"
"Don't be so nervous. I am not a spy for your parents. But there is one thing I have to remind you, keep an eye on your girlfriend. Because I, Bai Ziling, have fallen in love with her and will pursue her at all costs." Bai Ziling revealed a more
The big smile was full of weirdness and arrogance. Even Cui Minhao, who always had a royal attitude, couldn't help being shocked and watched him disappear from sight.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that this name has an indescribable familiarity...
Han Xiaotao walked back angrily, and before she reached the door, she met Cui Huaijin.
"Xiao Tao?" Huai Jin saw that her face was not very good, and her eyes showed concern.
"Sister Huaijin, how is your foot?" Han Xiaotao saw that she was still not walking smoothly, and the bandage on her ankle was replaced with a new one. It seemed that the crutch yesterday was really twisted. But thinking of Jin Enzhe
If it weren't for this twisted look in his eyes, I don't know when Enzhi would have the chance to show it. Counting that in mind, it shouldn't be all bad.
"I went to the hospital for a checkup today. I applied some medicine and it will be fine in two days." Huaijin smiled easily. "But when I was away, that boy Minhao didn't bully you, right? That guy, whether he was here or not, he didn't bully you.
He is known as the devil in school and at home. You also know his character, so don't argue with him."
Han Xiaotao smiled awkwardly, and really didn't know how to describe the current relationship between them to Sister Huaijin. "No. Anyway, I just took a shower and slept, and there was nothing left early the next morning.
.”
"I just like Xiao Tao's cheerful personality." Huaijin rubbed Xiao Tao's hair. "By the way, I left in a hurry this morning and didn't prepare breakfast for Xiao Tao. Did that guy Min Hao order takeout? It must be again.
He likes pancakes. I have told him many times that the pancakes in that breakfast restaurant have too much oil and eating too much is bad for the skin. Xiaotao is a girl, how can she eat that? I will be at home tomorrow morning.
Come and try my craftsmanship." Huaijin spoke very confidently and did not notice the subtle change in Han Xiaotao's expression.
This morning…
"Way, takeout? Well, who told you that we ordered takeout?"
"Okay, okay, my sister made it. But of course a genius like me can also cook, but he has to do it on important occasions, and he can't just cook it for others.
"
Thinking of Cui Minhao's covert expression, Han Xiaotao realized how stupid she was. She couldn't even tell such a lie and laughed at him stupidly. "Well, will Minhao also help Sister Huaijin at home?"
Cooking?"
"Pfft." Huaijin almost burst out laughing as if he had heard a big joke. "There are servants in the house, so who is it for him, the young master, to do it himself? Look at him like that, like
Is there anyone who can cook? He is just a child and doesn’t know how to take care of others, but I believe he will do well in the future." He patted Xiao Tao on the shoulder and said this to Xiao Tao.
In her heart, no matter how naughty Min Hao is, he is still her younger brother, and she understands him. "After a tiring day, I will go back to the room to take a shower. Xiao Tao, you also need to rest early."
Han Xiaotao nodded absently, all she could think about was Cui Minhao's face. As she walked into the hall, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the lonely mobile phone she had thrown on the table.
