As soon as she opened the door, a greeting came to Zhao Xuanying's ears.
She froze on the spot, looking at Liu Weicheng who opened the door and was about to leave the house at the same time as her. She obviously didn't expect to meet him by such a coincidence.
"morning."
He responded, and as the words fell, the corridor fell into silence.
Perhaps she herself was aware of the awkwardness of this atmosphere, so she continued the topic a moment later.
"Are you ready to go out?"
"Why else do you think I'm wearing such thick clothes?"
Hearing Zhao Xuanying's inquiry, Liu Weicheng's face showed a smile.
He found the other party's awkward look at finding a topic to chat amusing. After saying this, he looked up and down at her outfit.
Wearing a scarf and zipping up the jacket tightly, it looked like a rice dumpling, with only her little face exposed.
His brows furrowed.
"Why don't you wear the one you bought? Doesn't it fit you?"
The clothes Liu Weicheng mentioned were when Zhang Cuilan took Zhao Xuanying out of school, she lied to her that there were seasonal clothes at low prices in the pedestrian street.
This is a lie. How can there really be a store selling winter clothing at a low price when the season is approaching?
For the sake of harmony between the nanny and grandson, Liu Weicheng spent his own money to buy one for the two of them.
"I won't wear it until New Year's Day. I'm afraid it might get dirty if I wear it now."
In response to Liu Weicheng, Zhao Xuanying did not think this was a big deal.
"Anyway, there is no place to go during the Chinese New Year this year. You can wear whatever you want at home. No one can see it anyway, and you won't feel bad if it gets dirty."
"That's not the right idea of yours. Aren't you buying clothes just for wearing? Besides, the clothes themselves are cheap. If they get dirty and worn out, just buy another one."
"But wasn't that the one you bought for me?"
"..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Liu Weicheng, who was trying to persuade Zhao Xuanying, was stunned on the spot. He never expected that Zhao Xuanying would know about this.
When he looked into the eyes of the girl in front of him, his eyes were no longer the same as when they first met. They would look away shyly just looking at him.
Now she is very familiar with this kind of behavior.
"She is my grandma, there are no secrets between us."
Zhao Xuanying was indeed kept in the dark at the beginning.
But it's only a matter of time before that lame lie is exposed.
After returning to school, Zhao Xuanying shared the story of picking up leaks with her friends, but she learned from the other party that there was no so-called clearance sale at the pedestrian street.
Zhao Xuanying's academic performance in school is very good, which means that even if she is slow to react to some things, she still cannot be associated with the word "idiot".
After a little recall, she knew exactly how she bought the clothes.
Just because she didn't say it doesn't mean she doesn't know.
"Grandma was always with me that day, except for you leaving midway and coming back with clothes. This kind of thing can be understood after a little thought."
"..."
"It must have cost you a lot of money, right? That one is very warm when you wear it, and the materials are all first-class. It must have cost you a lot of money."
“It’s not too expensive either.”
"Don't lie to me at this time. I'm a little slow, but I'm not an idiot."
After ruthlessly exposing Liu Weicheng, Zhao Xuanying closed the security door behind her.
Turn your back and lock your door from the outside with the key.
"It's just because you gave it to me that I'm afraid of getting it dirty or damaged."
Her voice was very low when she said this. If she wasn't close enough and the surroundings were quiet, Liu Weicheng might not be able to hear what she was saying.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Even Liu Weicheng himself didn't know. Just looking at his back made him a little dazed.
It wasn't until the other party turned around that he suddenly woke up and stopped the smile on his face.
"Let's not mention this for now. Where is your grandma? Isn't she at home?"
"I went out. It seems that I met a fellow villager nearby when I came back yesterday. I don't know how I still recognized him after so many years... I went out early this morning to catch up with someone and catch up with him."
"It's understandable that people like to chat as they get older."
"So she left her precious granddaughter alone at home. She had to figure out what to eat for lunch..."
Waiting at the same place, Zhao Xuanying waited for Liu Weicheng to also lock the security door of her house.
Then he walked slowly downstairs.
The weather has reached the coldest time of the year. Just open your mouth and take a breath, and you can see a white mist floating in the sky.
The sub-zero temperature has caused ice to form in many places on the ground. You need to be more careful when walking, as you may slip on the spot if you are not careful.
The trees and green plants on the roadside are now bare. Except for the strong branches, not even a leaf can be seen.
It's a completely different scene from summer.
Walking ahead, Zhao Xuanying took in the surrounding scenery and suddenly began to talk to herself softly, as if inspired by something.
"The birds are all gone, and you can no longer hear the crisp chirping of birds in the early mornings."
"They're all going south. If you really want to hear it, I'll go to the market and buy you a big rooster. I'll put it next to your bed and it'll croak as soon as the sun comes up. It's better than an alarm clock."
"The artistic conception has been destroyed by you!"
Turning back and looking at Liu Weicheng, Zhao Xuanying muttered something complaining.
The other party is always so dishonest. Although he usually looks very reliable, he always likes to say these irritating things in private.
It's just... Zhao Xuanying doesn't hate this.
Now I recall that before they moved, the two of them lived next to each other. Every morning when they went to school, they could see each other washing in the house through the window.
When we met at that time, Liu Weicheng was like this, looking uncharacteristically frivolous.
If you are not familiar with them, you may find such people annoying.
But after getting acquainted with each other, I started to like that the other person could always find a topic to chat with.
With people like Liu Weicheng, there will never be an awkward moment, and there will never be a time when we can't find a topic to talk about.
Especially after the other party confirmed their relationship with Teacher Lin, she had not spent time alone with the other party like now for a long time.
After rolling her eyes at Liu Weicheng, Zhao Xuanying accelerated her pace.
It's just that the man behind her didn't see the snicker on her face after she turned around.
"Where are you going? Don't walk so fast. The ground is frozen. If you fall, you'll be dead."
"Go buy some melon seed snacks and put them at home."
"Yeah, I'm going to buy some too. Let's walk slowly together."
"You're walking too slowly. It's so cold outside. Finish your shopping and go back early."
"Don't be arrogant just because your legs are long. Sooner or later you will fall if you walk so fast."
"I won't listen... Oops!"
There was a popping sound, and before the girl could finish her shouting, the man's crow's mouth came into effect.
Lying on the ground, Zhao Xuanying felt dizzy at the moment.
She actually fell down in broad daylight.
From this point of view... Liu Weicheng's words really make some sense.
