Jian Yi thought about it and was about to explain, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by He Lichen.
"Answer me truthfully. There is no need to hide anything in front of me." He Lichen said.
Jian Yi also understands that in front of her uncle, she only needs to be her true self.
Such thoughts made Jian Yi feel as if she had returned to the way she used to be with her uncle without any distance.
Jian Yi nodded and replied, "Yes, I don't like Li Zifeng, I still... love you."
I have confessed my feelings to my uncle before, so my uncle is clear about my feelings. There is no need to hide this at all.
"Then why haven't you thought about being with me?" He Lichen asked.
"I, that..." Jian Yi hesitated, unable to speak.
"Is it too unexpected that we met this time?" He Lichen asked guessingly.
Jian Yi nodded, so be it. Anyway, she was not prepared at all and was a little panicked.
He Lichen finally understood and asked, "Then why don't you go back to Sihanoukville?"
"I don't know how to face anyone other than you." Jian Yi answered this question smoothly.
"Huh?" He Lichen responded, waiting for Jian Yi to continue.
Jian Yi looked at her uncle and said with good reason, "When I left Sihanoukville, I told them that I was going back to my mother, but I didn't go back. I lied."
"So you are worried that they will blame you?" He Lichen asked.
Jian Yi nodded and looked at her uncle with a pair of innocent eyes, indicating that she didn't do it on purpose.
He Lichen finally understood in his heart, and his original worries were gone now.
"Niu'er, you've thought too much about this matter," He Lichen said.
"What do you mean?" Jian Yi didn't understand.
"When you leave, the most sad person is me, not them. What reason do they have to blame you?"
"But I really lied."
"They know the reason why you lied. It was me who hurt you. Even if they want to blame, they blame me, not you," He Lichen said. "They only feel sorry for you."
"Really?" It's not that Jian Yi didn't believe her uncle's words, but she just couldn't accept it and couldn't believe it.
"Really," He Lichen said, "When my parents first learned about our affairs, my son was the most angry, and what they were most concerned about and worried about was you."
When Jian Yi heard what her uncle said, she could more or less guess what it was like when her uncle and aunt just found out about it.
It's just that my uncle's temper is not very good. Have you ever treated your uncle...
"Uncle, uncle didn't... hit you, did he?" Jian Yi asked worriedly.
"My dad had that idea at the time." He Lichen said that his dad was really angry at the time.
"Then what?" Jian Yi couldn't wait to know what happened next, so she couldn't hold back and reached out to hold her uncle's arm.
He Lichen did not expect that the little girl would take the initiative to get close to him.
"Uncle, please tell me quickly." Jian Yi asked again anxiously.
He Lichen looked at the little girl's expression, feeling better than before, and then replied, "As long as my mother is here, she won't let anyone beat her precious son, including my father."
Jian Yi reacted for a while before she understood what her uncle said. She felt relieved knowing that her uncle had not been beaten.
He Lichen looked at the innocent girl and knew that she loved him and was worried about him in her heart. However, this girl was more persistent in thinking about problems and was unwilling to go back to Sihanoukville with him now.
But it's okay, he won't force her, and he still has some patience with her. Besides, she is just a little white rabbit in front of him. It's only a matter of time before he puts her into his arms.
"It's okay," Jian Yi said, "I know your uncle and aunt love you very much, and they won't beat you."
"I need my parents' love, but at the same time, I need your love even more." He Lichen said.
Jian Yi suddenly felt a little shy and did not dare to look at her uncle. She said a little unnaturally, "Uncle, you have become bad. How can you say that."
"Why not?" He Lichen asked, "We are all adults, so we can say whatever we have to say. Is that wrong?"
"That's right, that's right, but you can't say it this way." Jian Yi has never been in love, doesn't know much about it, and is a conservative girl at heart. It's normal to be shy.
He Lichen looked at the little girl's appearance and felt very happy, but he didn't intend to make trouble with the little girl.
"Okay, girl, let's get down to business." He Lichen said more seriously.
"What?" Jian Yi asked.
"As for the matter between the two of us, I can give you something to help you slowly accept the fact that we met. You can also think about how to decide in the future. I will not force you to give me an answer for the time being, at least for now, okay?
"He Lichen asked.
Jian Yi nodded and thought it was okay. As long as she gave herself time and thought more, she wouldn't be so confused.
"As for your worries about what my parents think, I promise you, I will solve it, I will communicate with them, and they will not blame you. All of us can still get along with each other as before, okay?" He Lichen
ask.
"Well, yes, as long as they don't blame me." Jian Yi replied.
"No, it's me who did the wrong thing. Everything you do after that is excusable." After He Lichen finished speaking, he took the little girl into his arms and hugged her.
Jian Yi didn't resist and just stayed in her uncle's arms.
This night, the distance between the two has become closer, but it has not returned to the past.
For He Lichen, this was considered progress and he was satisfied.
In the next two days, He Lichen continued to see the little girl every day, and Jian Yi got used to it. Sometimes she would leave some desserts for her uncle, worried that he would be too busy at work and hungry.
That afternoon, Jian Yi was busy working in the store, and He Lichen came.
"Hello, brother-in-law." Xiaomi greeted He Lichen happily.
He Lichen was quite satisfied with the title of brother-in-law. He looked at Xiaomi and asked, "Where is Yiyi?"
"Jane is in the office today and seems to be settling accounts," Xiaomi said.
"Yeah." He Lichen responded and walked to Xiao Niu'er's office.
Jian Yi usually spends most of her time in the studio, but she also has her own office in the store.
He Lichen walked to the door of the office. The door was open. He Lichen saw the little girl reading documents inside, doing calculations while reading.
He Lichen originally wanted to knock on the door, but he was afraid of disturbing the little girl, so he had no choice but to quietly walk in without knocking.
The sensitive Jian Yi still noticed it. She raised her head and glanced at her uncle. She didn't feel that he was disturbing her at all. Instead, she felt that he came at the right time.
"Uncle, come on, come on, help me figure this out." Jian Yi said immediately, asking for help from his uncle.
He Lichen walked over, sat down next to the little girl, and asked, "Which one?"
"This, this, please help me do the math. I don't understand." Jian Yi replied.
