Xu Yinjie didn't make any trouble along the way, and Yun Qiao successfully delivered him to the apartment building.
When he got downstairs, he was still a little dazed.
"Get off the car." Yun Qiao said, "Are you going to stay in my car?"
Xu Yinjie came to his senses.
He got out of the car, turned to the driver's seat, and knocked on the window.
Yun Qiao's car window was very thick, so she struggled to roll it down.
Xu Yinjie leaned in and leaned next to Yun Qiao: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Yun Qiao said, while leaning towards the passenger seat, "You stand back."
Xu Yinjie then stepped back a little, resting his arms on the car window, as if he wanted to say something. After hesitating for a long time, he took out two candies from his pants pocket.
The candy wrappers are colorful and very beautiful.
"Aunt Qian bought it just now, and I caught two." Xu Yinjie smiled, showing his very neat and white teeth, "Here you can eat."
Yun Qiao only took one.
She unwrapped the candy, stuffed the candy into her mouth, and drove the car: "Go back."
Xu Yinjie did not give up.
He also peeled off the remaining candy and ate it. The orange candy had a strong sweetness and was of poor quality. It had almost no orange flavor, leaving only an overpowering sweetness.
Xu Yinjie frowned slightly, remembering that when the second daughter of the Qian family insisted on buying this candy, Aunt Qian said it would not taste good and buy less. Sure enough, elders have life experience.
Listen to what the old man says.
Xu Yinjie took a few bites and ate it, then quickly went upstairs. At the same time, a figure flashed around the corner of the street and disappeared without a trace.
Yun Qiao felt the same as Xu Yinjie, and she couldn't spit it out, so she had to chew it quickly, leaving her mouth full of a sickly sweet taste.
There was also some candy embedded in the gaps between her teeth, and the sweetness was even stronger, occupying her entire mouth, causing Yun Qiao to have to stop rinsing her mouth halfway.
"Xu Yinjie has never done anything good, why should I eat the candy he gave me?" Yun Qiao regretted it.
When they returned to the fourth room of Xi Mansion, Du Xueru and others were still asleep.
The Xi family also had a theater troupe come to perform today, and everyone in the fourth room came back from the theater and happened to meet Yun Qiao.
Du Xueru immediately said: "You just came back? Xiaoqi has been back for a long time, and my mother still asked where you were."
After Yun Qiao heard this, her heart moved slightly.
She raised the rice dumplings in her hand: "I made them myself and originally planned to give them to everyone to try. Now that Uncle Qi is back, I will give them to Uncle Qi to try."
Du Xueru nodded happily: "If you treat your seventh uncle so well, the old lady will see it and she will be very happy."
She was afraid that Yun Qiao would not try her best to curry favor.
Du Xueru was very pleased that Yun Qiao had such self-awareness.
Fourth Master Xi did not say anything, nor opposed nor supported; Xi Wenlan was disdainful in his heart, but did not show it on his face; Xi Wenqing and his younger brother Xi Wenzhan winked, wondering what was going on in the minds of boys of this age, and their curiosity was different from ordinary people
.
The youngest brother Xi Wenluo didn't understand at all, and still asked: "Sister, why don't you give me rice dumplings to eat?"
Du Xueru: "..."
Before Yun Qiao reached the fourth room, she met Xi Lanting. The path in the small bamboo forest was covered with green leaves and covered with bluestone floor tiles, and the wind passed by the green waves silently.
Xi Lanting was sitting on a bench smoking, the fireworks flickering on and off, highlighting his pale face, which made him feel a little lonely for no reason.
Yun Qiao stepped up and said, "Uncle Qi."
Xi Lanting raised his eyes and looked at her in the dim light, his eyes were extremely quiet.
He nodded: "Back?"
Yun Qiao handed the rice dumplings to him: "Uncle Qi, I made the rice dumplings specially for you to try. They are already cooked. Do you want to eat them?"
Xi Lanting put down the cigarette butt in his hand.
An ashtray was placed next to him, because there were too many bamboo leaves on the path and it might catch fire accidentally.
He put out the cigarette with his slender fingers. His expression was calm and a little peaceful, like a statue in a temple, so beautiful and dignified that he didn't have any vitality.
"Do you want me to peel it off for you?" Yun Qiao asked again.
