Jian Yi just sat on the bed, recalling the past between herself and her uncle, and thinking about everything between herself and her uncle.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. I used to think that my uncle's kindness to me was very good, but now, when my uncle is about to get married, I suddenly feel that all this is not good.
If I had maintained a relationship with my brother-in-law and not been so close when I first met him, then... I wouldn't have the troubles and heartache that I have now.
However, at that time, I just wanted to rely on my uncle, and I just wanted to pester him, so until now, the position of my uncle in my heart is irreplaceable.
And I also understand that I don't know when I have fallen in love with my brother-in-law. I don't just like him, but I really fall in love with him.
Jian Yi didn't know how long she sat there. It wasn't until she felt a chill that Jian Yi came back to her senses, lay down, covered herself with quilt, and prepared to rest.
Before taking a break, Jian Yi decided to tell her uncle what she was thinking as soon as possible.
…
The next day, early in the morning, it was still a day off, and no one had to go to work, so it was still quiet at seven o'clock in the morning by Lishui Bay.
At this time, Jian Yi had already driven to the shore of Lishui Bay, stood at the gate of the villa, and rang the doorbell.
The nanny who was cooking in the kitchen did not hear the bell at this moment, so she continued to make breakfast for the owners.
Until He Zikai came down from upstairs and heard the doorbell ringing, He Zikai was a little surprised. Who would come home so early on Sunday?
He Zikai walked out of the villa and went to the gate.
When He Zikai saw Jian Yi standing at the door, He Zikai was shocked, "Yiyi, why are you here so early?"
"Hello, uncle," Jian Yi saw her uncle and greeted her politely. Then she answered his uncle's words, "I'm here to see...my uncle."
Everyone in the He family knew the title "brother-in-law" because Jian Yi was young and He Lichen didn't care about calling Jian Yi such a name, so He Zikai and Cheng Nuo didn't have any objections and just let them call her uncle.
"Lichen hasn't gotten up yet," He Zikai said, opening the door, "Come in quickly, how long have you been standing outside? Are you freezing?"
"No, I just stood there for a while." Although she was cold, Jian Yi still didn't tell the truth.
"Come on, come inside and sit down." He Zikai liked this child quite a lot. She was a weird and elfin girl, just like Xiao Mei and Xiao Xi. She was a simple girl, a little willful, and very cute.
"Um."
After Jian Yi followed her uncle into the villa, she saw no one on the first floor, only sounds coming from the kitchen from time to time.
"Nuo'er hasn't gone downstairs yet, and Lichen probably hasn't gotten up yet. Yiyi, are you waiting here? Or go upstairs to call Lichen?" He Zikai asked, "If you want to go upstairs, go ahead and go to Lichen's room.
You know."
He Zikai knew the relationship between his son and Jian Yi. They were closer than ordinary friends, and Jian Yi came to the house a lot. She didn't have any relatives in Westport, and he and Nuo'er had long regarded her as their own.
The children at home think so, and my son must also think so.
"I, I still won't go up," Jian Yi said, feeling a little nervous but not daring to show it, "Uncle, I'm sitting in the living room waiting for my uncle."
"Okay, then you sit here and wait for a while, and I'll get you a glass of water." He Zikai said.
He Zikai poured a glass of water and handed it to Jian Yi, "Hot water, drink some to warm yourself up. When Nuo'er and Lichen come downstairs, we'll have breakfast together."
"Yeah." Jian Yi nodded.
"Yiyi, I want to go out for a run. Can you sit alone in the living room, okay?" He Zikai asked, as he had the habit of running every morning.
"Okay, uncle, you go for a run." Jian Yi said.
"Well, then you're bored, turn on the TV and watch."
"Um."
After He Zikai left, Jian Yi was alone in the living room. She was still very nervous. She was thinking about what she should tell her uncle when she saw him later.
When I came to Lishui Bay before, I was full of courage and mentally prepared. But now, sitting at my uncle's house, I feel... very nervous.
After Cheng Nuo came down from upstairs, he was happy and surprised to see the people sitting in the living room.
"Yiyi, when did you come?" Cheng Nuo asked, hurriedly walking towards Yiyi.
"Good morning, Auntie," Jian Yi stood up and greeted her, "I've been here for a while, and it was my uncle who opened the door for me just now."
"Well, I guess that's right," Cheng Nuo said happily, and then asked, "Are you here to see Li Chen?"
"Well, I have something to do with my uncle..." Jian Yi replied.
"Then why don't you go up and call Li Chen?" Cheng Nuo felt puzzled. Usually when Yiyi comes to the house, she doesn't get angry at all. Moreover, her relationship with her son means that she can go upstairs to find him. I believe his son won't mind at all.
.
"My, um, uncle is still sleeping. I don't want to disturb him." Jian Yi said, because of the friendliness and politeness of her uncle and aunt, she felt a little scared. She had been hesitating about her previous thoughts.
"Then I'll go up and call him. It's time to come down for dinner now." Cheng Nuo said, turning around and going up to call his son.
Jian Yi hurriedly took her aunt's hand, "Auntie, no need, let me..."
Before she finished speaking, Jian Yi suddenly saw the person at the stairs on the second floor.
He Lichen did not expect that the little girl would come to the house. As he walked downstairs, he asked the little girl, "When did you come?"
"I, I've been here for a while." Jian Yi answered her uncle's words.
He Lichen did not ask any more questions. Instead, after going downstairs, he walked up to the little girl and asked her, "Come home and ask me for a favor?"
Jian Yi looked at her uncle and nodded.
Cheng Nuo was so happy that Jian Yi came to the house that he hurriedly said, "Eat breakfast first, and you two can chat after breakfast."
"Well," He Lichen responded, looked at his watch, and said, "It's time for my dad to come back, right?"
"Should be back soon," Cheng Nuo said, taking Yiyi's hand and saying to his son, "Lichen, give your dad a call. Yiyi and I will go sit in the restaurant first."
After saying that, Cheng Nuo took Yiyi and went to the restaurant.
When He Zikai came back, the four of them had breakfast together. Cheng Nuo took good care of Yiyi. He Lichen originally wanted to take care of the little girl, but seeing his mother's initiative, He Lichen felt that his thoughts were redundant.
After breakfast, He Zikai and Cheng Nuo went to do their own business, while He Lichen and Jian Yi went to the study upstairs.
The two of them were sitting in the study. He Lichen looked at Jian Yi opposite and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Jian Yi didn't dare to say anything at the moment. She glanced at her uncle, very nervous.
He Lichen noticed the little girl's nervousness, and became more worried in his heart. He asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" (To be continued)
