She subconsciously looked at the man beside her, and her incomprehensible and questioning eyes collided with his eyes with a slight smile.
Then someone laughed and said, "Look, I said there must be a reason why Xuyue can bring a girl here! How can Xuyue talk about her own affairs if she doesn't like her personality?"
Jiang Ningyu suddenly realized and smiled.
But Lin Xuyue's mother said, "Okay, don't scare the girl away. Come, Ning Yu, eat an apple."
Jiang Ningyu thanked her and took it, then handed it to Lin Xuyue.
Lin Xuyue had just pulled two chairs over, reached out to pick them up, and then nibbled on the apples casually.
He didn't speak, but someone naturally spoke, "Miss Jiang, I'm Xu Yue's aunt. It was a pity that I didn't see you last time. But I heard from Xiaoyu, and she is indeed a beautiful woman when I saw you today. By the way, your parents
What to do..."
"Sister!" Lin Xuyue's mother interrupted her in time, showing a slightly troubled expression, "Let the children think about their own affairs. Don't worry so much."
"How can I not worry about it?" The woman gave her a look, "You parents, you have left Xu Yue with your grandparents since you were a child. I feel sorry for him more than you do! Now that he is old, it is difficult to take care of him.
A pretty girl is back, can't I ask a few more questions?"
"Okay, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't argue in front of the two little guys." Grandpa warned them in a stern tone, "Otherwise, get out of here."
For a moment, the woman stopped talking, but there was still some dissatisfaction on her face.
Seeing Lin Xuyue's usual indifference, Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but said, "It's okay, just chat. My parents are both musicians, so they should be considered half-artists."
"Look, even though we are chatting, the little girl is still sensible." The woman immediately became lively again, "Then you are also engaged in music-related work?"
"No, I'm more rebellious, so I did it."
"Wow, this is a huge span."
Jiang Ningyu smiled and said, "Well, they really don't like my work."
"Young people, the most important thing is to do what you like." Grandpa said gently, "But you must also pay attention to your health. This little guy in our family can even forget to eat when he is busy with work. You must take care of each other when you are together.
Take care of each other so I can rest assured."
Jiang Ningyu's nose felt inexplicably sore, but she still remembered the business, "Then grandpa should go live in his house, and you can supervise him to eat every day, how nice would it be?"
"Sigh." Grandpa waved his hand, "As an old man, I can neither fit into your circle of young people nor get used to your life. It would be better for me to go back to my hometown and go fishing and play chess with my former comrades. It would be more comfortable.
.”
Jiang Ningyu turned her head and glanced at Lin Xuyue. He threw away the core and lowered his eyebrows. He seemed to be a little annoyed as expected. At that moment, she didn't know what was going on, but she blurted out -
"Then if grandpa doesn't go, I won't go either."
In the eyes of astonishment, she seemed to have given up her show and said to Lin Xuyue, "You also said that grandpa would like me and be happy to live with me. It seems like a lie. I'd better live away from your house."
After two hours, the place was completely healed."
"..."
She was huffing and puffing, a bit squeamish and serious, and it really sounded like that when she complained.
Lin Xuyue's Adam's apple rolled twice and he went to hold her hand, but it was pulled away. He had no choice but to say, "Don't make trouble. The place where you live now is infested with cockroaches, rats, and termites. What will happen if you don't move here?"
?”
Cockroaches, mice, termites... Jiang Ningyu felt aversion to the cold when she heard it, but she could only braid it out, "It's raining and it's leaking, but I think it's good. It's close to nature."
"...Wait a minute." Grandpa asked in confusion, "Girl Jiang, do you live in a house?"
She nodded, "It's an old house in Shikumen."
"It's still leaking on a rainy day? How can that be okay?" Grandpa said a little seriously, "Since you have decided to be together, you should help each other. We are not in the old society now, so you should live there as soon as possible."
Jiang Ningyu sighed quietly, "Forget it, a place where even grandpa doesn't want to live must not be a good place."
Grandpa's face showed a little worry, "No, what's the matter with you? Young people don't want to live with their elders, why are you so eager to get me, an old man?"
"If you have an old man in your family, it's like having a treasure. I'm quite superstitious." Jiang Ningyu glared at Lin Xuyue again, "Anyway, this is the decision..."
"No!" Noticing his grandson's gloomy and silent gaze, the grandfather seemed to be unable to pretend any longer. He threw away the theory of "children and grandchildren will have their own blessings" and frowned deeply, "...I think it's better to go to a small school."
It would be nice to live with this guy for a while, what do you think?" He turned his eyes to the three sisters-in-law.
"Pretty good." All three nodded.
Grandpa immediately said to Jiang Ningyu, "Girl Jiang, you heard me, I am willing to stay at the little guy's house."
"Then you can't regret what you promised." Jiang Ningyu smiled and stretched out her little finger, "Pull the hook!"
Frustrated by her childish behavior, Grandpa couldn't help but laugh, and showed a bit of helplessness as he suddenly realized, but he still reached out and pulled the hook, and agreed, "Okay, I don't regret it."
They sat for a while longer before Lin Xuyue found an excuse and took her to leave.
As soon as she left the ward, Jiang Ningyu breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her heart and said, "I was scared to death. Why is your mother here too?"
"have no idea."
She looked unbelieving.
"Really." His expression was very sincere, "Maybe it was dinner time when we came and she happened to be visiting."
This reason seems fine.
Jiang Ningyu could only say, "Well, at least I can live up to your trust..." As she said that, she realized that when they were walking to the elevator, his hand was still around her waist.
Thinking that he was still immersed in his own thoughts, she gently broke away.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, "If necessary, when you fall in love in the future, I will act out a breakup with you."
She didn't hear a response for a long time. It wasn't until she got out of the elevator that she turned her head and met his slightly cold expression.
However, just for a moment, Lin Xuyue sneered, "Do we still need to act after breaking up?" Her eyelashes covered half of the darkness, looking at her with undisguised indifference.
When he glanced at him, he already had an aristocratic demeanor, but when his brows were cold and cold, he looked even more cold and ruthless.
Jiang Ningyu felt that it was right. Compared with his calm attitude, this clear-cut indifference was more suitable for the distance between friends.
"That's right." She smiled, and unconsciously added to the jealousy, "Just say it's not suitable and you've found true love."
Perhaps because of these words, Lin Xuyue opened the door and pulled it twice before remembering that it had not been unlocked.
