Qingtian was helping Xia Qinhai back to the hall when he saw his mother and Ye Yisheng sitting in the living room chatting happily. When she met his eyes, Qingtian was stunned and thought, why is he here?
"Dad..." Ye Yisheng stood up and called out in an extraordinarily polite manner. Xia Qinhai smiled happily, "You didn't go to work today?"
"No, I made an appointment with Qingtian to come over and see you."
Qing Tian glanced at him, when did she make an appointment with him?
Ye Yisheng received her displeased look, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help Xia Qinhai. Xia Qinhai glanced at him with a feeling of relief, then thought of something and sighed, "Your father's matter..."
Hearing this, Ye Yisheng smiled bitterly, "This period of time has passed thanks to Qingtian being with me all the time. Don't worry too much."
Xia Qinhai smiled and said, "Everyone will face these things, just look away. We are all old, and death will happen sooner or later."
"Dad, what did you say?" Qingtian sounded unhappy. Dad always took life and death very lightly.
Xia Qinhai held Qingtian's hand and grinned, "Look, every time I mention it, they get anxious with me. You have to take more care of Qingtian in the future. Even though she pretends to be strong on the surface, she is fragile inside."
."
Xia Qinhai knew Qingtian's character very well.
This daughter keeps everything in her heart and doesn't like to compete or rob with others, as she will suffer a loss...
Ye Yisheng nodded, "Dad, don't worry."
When Qingtian heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She took her father's arm and changed the subject, "Didn't you just say you wanted to play chess with me? How about we go to the study to play?"
"Then Xiaoye..." Xia Qinhai looked at Ye Yisheng, it would be bad to leave him behind, right?
Ye Yisheng reacted quickly and said with a smile, "I'll go down with you to observe and learn."
"Okay, you go play chess, and I'll help auntie prepare lunch. I'll call you later."
Mother Xia walked into the kitchen with a smile on her face and asked her busy aunt to prepare some more dishes. They were the only two old people at home on weekdays, so she would come back to see them on sunny days, which added a bit of joy.
In the study, Ye Yisheng sat next to Qingtian, watching her play chess with Xia Qinhai. Midway, Xia's mother came in with fruit. He peeled the orange and handed it to her to eat. Qingtian didn't want to eat it, but it was not good in front of her parents.
If she gets angry with him, she can only endure it and eat it after he peels it off.
Sometimes, he would hold her hand and guide her on how to play chess. Qing Tian was really not in the mood to play chess, so he had to stand up and say, "If you know how to play, just play with dad. I'm a little tired."
After finishing her words, Qingtian walked out of the study and went straight to the second floor. At this time, her mother was helping her clean up the house. She smiled and said to her, "It's rare that you come back to live here. I'll clean it up for you."
Mother Xia said, holding an old wooden box in her hand, "What is this?"
Looking at it on a sunny day, he smiled and said, "Collection of gadgets."
When she was a child, she especially liked to collect some strange gadgets and store them in this small wooden box like treasures. Xia's mother sat on the bed and opened it to see what kind of maple leaves, paper cranes, shells, pearls, etc. were in the wooden box.
There is also a key."
"What does this key do?"
Xia's mother held the key and stared at it for a long time. Qingtian was stunned and thought that the key belonged to Ye Yisheng.
At this moment, Ye Yisheng was standing at the door at some point. He raised a smile to call them, but when his eyes fell on the key, his heart stopped and the smile on his lips froze.
That is……
If he remembered correctly, it should be the key from back then.
Because there was a red thread tied to the key, he remembered it especially clearly.
Qingtian felt the hot gaze, and when she turned around to see it was him, she panicked and quickly grabbed the key from her mother's hand, holding it tightly in her hand, her heartbeat speeding up without warning.
When Xia's mother saw Ye Yisheng coming up, she wanted to leave space for the young couple to get along, so she smiled and said, "I'll go down and see if the food is ready."
Qingtian felt inexplicably nervous, and she didn't even dare to look into his sharp eyes.
He walked up to her, sat down, locked his eyes on her panicked expression, and asked, "What key is that?"
Qingtian bit her lip, "It's just an ordinary key."
"Can you show it to me?"
He felt vaguely in his heart that things were starting to get complicated. The more she dared not look into his eyes, the more strange he felt.
