Jian Yi looked into her uncle's eyes and asked seriously, "Are you...going to meet...other girls?"
As soon as the little girl's words came out, He Lichen immediately reacted. She knew that she was going on a blind date, and she should have... known it from Zhou Wei.
He Lichen knew that Xiao Niuer cared about her, but seeing other girls and marrying someone else in the future were things he could not change.
"Yes, I'll go tomorrow afternoon." He Lichen answered truthfully and did not hide anything from her.
Jian Yi just looked at her uncle like this. After a while, Jian Yi suddenly relaxed, adjusted her expression, and said to her uncle, "Uncle, it's getting late. You should go home."
"..." He Lichen was stunned, was she driving him away?
"I'll just clean up the room and then take a shower." Jian Yi continued, not forgetting to show a forced smile to show that what she said was not a joke and that she was serious.
Seeing the little girl like this, He Lichen couldn't insist on staying. If he touched her emotional bottom line, he was afraid that she would cry.
"Well, okay, I'll leave first." He Lichen said.
"Well," Jian Yi nodded, "drive slower on the road."
"good."
After seeing off her uncle, Jian Yi returned to the room. Instead of cleaning the room, she went to the bathroom.
The water from the shower came down from the head, and Jian Yi stood quietly like this. Unknowingly, she cried. It was just that the hot water and tears were mixed together. Jian Yi didn't know how many tears she had, and she didn't know she was crying.
how long.
He Lichen drove home and was not in a good mood. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, thinking about the little girl and worrying about her.
I wonder if her feelings and thoughts about herself have changed during this period of time?
But judging from the way she behaved today, although she was a little unhappy, she didn't make a fuss, which means...she already knew what to do, right?
He Lichen was more or less satisfied with the little girl's performance today. At least it was much better than the last time she saw You Jia. He Lichen sincerely hoped that the little girl could let go of her thoughts about herself and live a happy life in the future.
Finding someone reliable to protect her is what she hopes in her heart.
…
The next day, Jian Yi went to work at the company as normal, and He Lichen also got off work as normal.
In the afternoon, He Lichen was not in the office. Jian Yi knew in her heart, but she didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, she worked very seriously and asked her colleagues and senior colleagues around her if she didn't understand.
Zhou Wei could tell that Jian Yi was working very hard this afternoon.
After Jian Yi finished her work for the day, she started busy with Wednesday's work again, not letting herself stop for a minute.
It wasn't until get off work that Jian Yi stopped working.
"Jian Yi, your work efficiency is very high today, much better than yesterday." A colleague praised Jian Yi.
Jian Yi just smiled and replied, "It's just because I missed work yesterday that I have to make up for it today."
"Well, it's pretty good. Young people are hardworking, so work hard."
"Yes." Jian Yi replied, with a smile on her face, but only she knew the discomfort and bitterness in her heart.
Jian Yi drove back to the apartment, trying hard to restrain herself from thinking about her uncle, or what he was doing now? She didn't even want to call her uncle.
On Wednesday morning, Jian Yi got up very early. After washing and eating a simple breakfast, she looked at the time and saw that it was only 6:50.
Jian Yi knew it was too early to go to work, so she sat on the sofa and thought about her own little things.
The past two days of meditation have allowed me to understand some facts and let me know what to do in the future? That is, I can only keep my love for my uncle in my heart because I can't say it out, and there will be no results if I say it.
.
If his brother-in-law doesn't love him, the person he will marry in the future will not be him. And he and his brother-in-law can only maintain this kind of relationship. Even in the future, when his brother-in-law gets married, he may be good to her and still be kind to her.
I will love myself, but in this love and love, there will be some distance, and there will also be some...distinctive feelings. After all, my uncle at that time was already a man with a family.
Making a decision in her mind, Jian Yi waited until the time was almost up before going out to work.
After He Lichen came to the company, he saw that Xiao Niuer had not come to work. After entering the office, He Lichen called Xiao Niuer.
"Hello, uncle." Jian Yi answered the phone as usual.
"Why haven't you come to work yet?" He Lichen asked, worried that something would happen to her. After all, she knew about her blind date yesterday, and she also knew her thoughts about him.
"I'm in the parking lot. I'll be up right away," Jian Yi said. She looked at her watch and then said, "Uncle, there are still twenty minutes before work. I won't be late."
"Well, let me ask where you are." He Lichen replied. He was not worried that she would be late, but worried about her mood.
"Oh, uncle, don't worry, I'll be up right away."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, He Lichen knew that the little girl was not depressed, and there was no sadness in her voice just now, so...it seemed that he was overthinking it.
Jian Yi clocked in, chatted with colleagues around her, and then started working.
Throughout the whole day, Jian Yi and her uncle met and talked to each other, but they were all work-related communications.
He Lichen originally wanted to talk to Xiao Niu'er about things other than work, but seeing that she was working so seriously, he didn't want to disturb her, so he didn't say anything and continued to remain calm with Xiao Niu'er.
A few days later, on the weekend, He Lichen received a call from his grandma at home.
"Lichen, have you met that girl? How do you feel?" Bai Wanjing asked her grandson.
"Well, I've met her. She's... pretty good." He Lichen replied. Although he only met Xu Xiyun once, his impression of her was pretty good.
"Okay," Bai Wanjing said with a smile, "Then you continue to get along and get to know each other better."
"Well, I know, grandma." He Lichen said.
Bai Wanjing was happy in her heart and couldn't help but say, "It seems that my grandson is getting married soon. Lichen, your grandfather and I have been waiting for this day."
"Well," He Lichen responded, thought about it and said, "If nothing happens, the marriage... shouldn't be far away."
The four elders in the family have waited for so long, and I feel a little sorry in my heart, so this time, if my understanding of Xu Xiyun is within the scope of my imagination, I will... propose to her.
"Okay, okay, with your words, I feel relieved," Bai Wanjing said, "Lichen, I won't teach you how to get along with girls. You should pay more attention to yourself, do you understand?"
