In response to his father's inquiry, Liu Zhiyue lost his mind for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Make a thinking statement.
"It's okay. He's a nice person. Why do you ask me this all of a sudden?"
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
Liu Changqing said this, looking away from his son's face and looking at the TV screen.
Well...animal world...
Liu Zhiyue, who was lying on the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father no longer asked him questions, and pretended to look at the TV.
He had just relaxed some of his vigilance when he heard his father's voice from the side again.
"Zhao Xuanwen, what do you think?"
"Ah? Zhao Xuanwen? Just... that's okay. He's a very interesting person."
"Interesting, isn't it..."
"dad……"
"You go on watching TV."
"oh."
As soon as his eyes moved to the TV, although he was watching TV, Liu Zhiyue's eyes looked at Liu Changqing from time to time.
My father's face was very calm.
Just like the person who asked that question just now was not him.
Seeing no follow-up, Liu Zhiyue's vigilance began to gradually decrease.
"Which one do you like better?"
"I prefer...wait a minute, Dad, what are you asking about?"
He almost said it subconsciously, but fortunately Liu Zhiyue reacted in time, and then sat up from the sofa and faced Liu Changqing beside him.
From the moment his father entered the house, he felt that the other party was a little strange today.
"I am only a junior high school student now. I am a student at heart. I want to study, not think about these things!"
"Okay, okay, I understand, let's study hard and study hard."
Seeing that his son's tone was a little excited, Liu Changqing didn't say anything more and stood up from the sofa after replying.
He walked up to Liu Xiazhi, who was eating a watermelon in his arms, and took the watermelon away.
When she was feeling comfortable eating, she saw that the watermelon was gone. Liu Xiazhi stretched out her arms and jumped to take down the watermelon held by her father.
Mouthing in his mouth.
"I can still eat some more!"
"You have eaten so much today and drank so many drinks. Why can you still eat watermelon when you come back? You can't eat so much at night. Don't accidentally eat it and become a chubby girl."
"I'm not going to get fat!"
Liu Xiazhi responded to her father like this.
Hearing his daughter's words, Liu Changqing just smiled, put the watermelon in his hand on the coffee table, and then stretched out his hand to pat his daughter's bulging belly.
"Not fat? Then what is this?"
"This...this is..."
"You have to control your diet from now on. Starting today, I will pinch off the afternoon snacks for you and you can't eat them anymore."
These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Xiazhi's head. In just a moment, his eyes glazed over.
During this period, she was the happiest time of the day...
Snack time two hours after lunch.
From now on...there will be no more...
Her neck seemed to be rusty. Liu Xiazhi slowly lowered her head and looked at her bulging belly. She had indeed eaten a bit too much today, which made her belly not as flat as before.
His head was shaking, as if he was denying something.
Backing away in disbelief, Liu Xiazhi shouted.
"I don't want to become a fat girl!"
After shouting this, he rushed back to his room while shouting.
With the slamming of the door, only the father and son were left in the living room again.
The two looked at each other.
In the end, Liu Zhiyue broke through.
"It's time to control her diet. I think her face is a little round."
"That makes sense."
Nodding in response to his son, Liu Changqing thought for a while.
"If you don't want to take a shower, then I'll take a shower first?"
"Um."
After saying that, Liu Changqing went back to the house to get some clothes to change after taking a shower, and put his hand on the bathroom door handle, but did not open the door.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and looked at his son who was pretending to watch TV again.
After a long time, he said softly.
"You have to remember not to hurt others..."
"What?"
After hearing his father's words, Liu Zhiyue turned his head and saw the figure who opened the bathroom door and walked in.
With the sound of the bathroom being locked, Liu Zhiyue no longer needed to pretend to watch TV.
A pair of eyes that are a little lost in thought.
I thought about what my father just said in my mind.
Don't... hurt others...
———————————————————————
Zhou Shiyan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the hairpin in her hand.
It was a hairpin covered with fake diamonds that would sparkle under the light.
Looking at the hairpin, his eyes were a little lost, and then he seemed to think of something. He got off the bed, walked to the table, moved the small mirror towards himself, and adjusted the angle.
His face appeared in the mirror.
First, she combed her hair with a comb, then Zhou Shiyan slowly raised her hand and clipped the hairpin to her bangs.
Fixed it, slowly lowered his hand, and looked at himself in the mirror.
A smile appeared on his face.
Thinking of Liu Zhiyue's suggestion to go out for a walk when he was at home in the afternoon, maybe it was because he stayed at home for too long, or for some other reasons, anyway, Zhou Shiyan unexpectedly nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them went out near dusk and came back after dark.
Liu Zhiyue took out this card when he sent him home.
A gift to myself...
Looking at the hairpin, Zhou Shiyan seemed to be talking to herself.
"So lovely……"
There was the sound of a key opening the door outside the house. I was slightly stunned at first, and then I seemed to have done something secretly and was afraid of being caught by my parents.
Zhou Shiyan hurriedly took off the hairpin from her hair and held it firmly in her hand.
Turn around and look at the door.
Lan Yixian opened the door and walked in, carrying some pastries in his hand.
Because of the debt collector, she stopped working in the supermarket while staying at Liu Changqing's house.
After the matter was resolved, she found a shop selling pastries.
Because he has a unique talent for making pasta, the pastry shop specifically allows Lan Yixian to come to work in the afternoon.
Correspondingly, the wages are not too high.
Because he knew her family situation, Lan Yixian was allowed to take some of the leftover things home that day.
What she was carrying was what was left today.
After entering the house, Lan Yixian placed the pastries in his hands on the table, then poured some hot water from the thermos into the washbasin, and then poured some cold water in to wash up.
Looking at her mother's tired look, Zhou Shiyan hesitated for a while and asked softly.
"Mom, didn't Uncle Liu say that he shouldn't be in a hurry to pay back the money? Otherwise..."
"It's better to pay it back in advance."
Zhou Shiyan was interrupted by her mother before she could finish her words.
"As long as you owe someone else money, the relationship is no longer equal. Only when two people no longer have this relationship can they be honest with each other."
"mom……"
"Eat some of the pastries on the table. We don't have a refrigerator at home. They will spoil if left overnight..."
"..."
Zhou Shiyan looked at her mother who was bending over to wash her face.
He held the hand holding the hairpin with a little more force.
