Jian Yi said this, but she didn't want her uncle to arrange for her to have dinner with him and Sister Xiyun. She didn't want to be alone with Xiyun. Although her uncle was with her, she still didn't want to.
"Okay, I'll take you home for dinner next time." He Lichen said.
"Um."
This topic is finally over, and Jian Yi has made some decisions in her heart. In order to prevent her uncle from discovering her thoughts again, Jian Yi doesn't dare to be distracted at all, let alone think too much about the video.
After eating, He Lichen drove the little girl back to the apartment.
Back in the apartment, Jian Yi wanted to pack her clothes in a hurry, fearing that her uncle would scold her after seeing it in such a mess. After all, her uncle had scolded her several times because of the mess in the room.
However, after He Lichen understood the little girl's thoughts, when she was about to escape, he reached out and took her arm, and then looked at the mess in the room.
"Uncle, um, those are dirty clothes. I planned to wash them, so I threw them on the floor." Jian Yi explained, fearing that her uncle would scold her.
When He Lichen heard the little girl's explanation, he didn't speak and continued to watch.
In the room, not only were clothes littered, but towels, socks, and all kinds of things were littered, this girl was really...
Is it because she doesn't come to the apartment because she intends to keep it in such a mess and not clean it up?
Jian Yi didn't wait for her uncle's answer, and then she didn't say anything. She lowered her head and showed that she was wrong, so that her uncle might not be so angry.
Sure enough, He Lichen was holding back his dissatisfaction, and when he looked at the little girl, he couldn't even get angry.
After watching for a long time, He Lichen just said gently, "You go take a shower first, and I will pack your clothes."
"..." Jian Yi raised her head and looked at her uncle, a little surprised.
My uncle cleans his room? Really?
"What? You want me to give you a lesson?" He Lichen didn't answer and asked seriously when he heard the answer.
"No, no, no, I'm going to take a shower right now." Jian Yi said immediately.
After saying that, Jian Yi quickly broke away from her uncle's hand, ran to the bedroom to get home clothes, and slipped into the bathroom.
Seeing the little girl's little figure disappear, He Lichen felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was angry, but more relaxed and happy.
Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, He Lichen smiled and started to pack his clothes and tidy up the room.
Half an hour later, Jian Yi walked out of the bathroom wearing home clothes, holding a dry towel in her hand, wiping her hair as she walked.
He Lichen had already tidied up the room. The bedroom and living room were all tidy, at least there was no littering.
Jian Yi couldn't help but feel better when she saw that her home was suddenly tidy.
"Uncle." Jian Yi called him heartily. She wanted to say thank you to him, but the words came to her lips and she couldn't say them.
He Lichen saw the little girl's mood, stood up, walked to the little girl, picked up the towel in her hand, and said, "Sit down and I'll blow dry your hair."
"oh."
Jian Yi was very obedient and went to sit on the sofa while watching her uncle get the hair dryer.
He Lichen's action of blow-drying the girl's hair was very skillful, but thinking about it, it wasn't the first time. He had done this action countless times. It was very familiar.
Jian Yi has long been familiar with this kind of movement. Her body, which was originally sitting very upright, gradually fell towards her uncle and came closer to his arms.
He Lichen also allowed her to do this, holding the hair dryer in one hand and gently holding her hair with the other, and carefully helped her blow dry her hair.
After blow-drying his hair, He Lichen put the hair dryer aside and hugged the little girl with both hands, cherishing this feeling.
Think about it, it's been a long time since I held a little girl like this. The little girl who used to act coquettishly in front of me, and even acted willfully regardless of any situation, I don't know if it's because she has grown up, or because she... is engaged, but she is so slow.
I gradually distance myself from myself, and the coquettishness and willfulness I used to show less and less in front of me.
He originally planned that no matter whether he got married or had children in the future, his love and affection for her would never change. But now, he found that his thoughts were too simple. He only thought about himself and did not think about her.
Her changes and performance.
My little girl has grown up, she has learned to be independent, and she also knows what things and relationships should develop as her identity changes. Just like recently, the relationship between me and her has become a little distant, like this
Being alienated makes me unable to find any flaws. It feels reasonable, but it is so uncomfortable.
He Lichen thought a lot, finally recovered his thoughts and called softly, "Niu'er."
Jian Yi almost fell asleep, but after hearing her uncle's voice, she opened her eyes and responded, "Yes, uncle."
"No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that I am your support." He Lichen said.
In the future, no matter whether he gets married or she has a boyfriend, or she gets married, the fact that she relies on him will never change.
When Jian Yi heard her uncle's words, she didn't answer immediately. After thinking for a while, she suddenly reached out her hand, hugged her uncle's waist, and rubbed her head into his arms.
"Uncle, I only have you to rely on." Jian Yi said, feeling a little sad in her heart.
"Although my mother loves me, she is too busy and won't accompany me or take care of me. In my heart, uncle, you are more important than my mother." Jian Yi said what was in her heart.
Over the years, this has really been the case. My uncle is more important than my mother, and my uncle knows me better than my mother knows me.
And He Lichen also knew this in his heart. He knew and understood the relationship between himself and Xiao Niuer, and the relationship between her and her relatives.
"Since I am more important than your mother, you should remember that if you have something to tell me as soon as possible, come to me as soon as possible, and don't stay away from me, you know?" He Lichen said.
During this period of time, I have understood a fact and confirmed my heart, that is, I cannot be alienated from the little girl. Once I am alienated, my whole heart will be empty, especially empty.
"Yeah, I know." Jian Yi replied, but she didn't say what was in her heart.
Uncle, I can stay away from you, but I can't be as close to you as I used to be because Xu Xiyun is by your side.
"As long as you continue to be good like this," He Lichen added, "I will love you and pamper you as before, and I will give you the most care."
Jian Yi did not answer this time, but just nuzzled into her uncle's arms to show that she heard it.
"Are you tired?" He Lichen asked.
"A bit." Jian Yi replied.
"Well, go to sleep, I'll stay with you." He Lichen said.
Jian Yi originally wanted to ask her uncle if he would wait until she fell asleep to leave, but after thinking about it, his uncle must leave. He is engaged now and it is impossible for him to stay at her place, so asking is in vain. (Unfinished)
