"Xiao Qi, why did she ask for Shen Qihe's name?" Chu Yanyan asked the system.
"Maybe the other party wants to be friends with Shen Qihe?" Tongzi said uncertainly.
"All right."
Chu Yanyan couldn't get anything out of the system, and telling the other party Shen Qihe's name was no big deal, so he said: "His name is Shen Qihe, and he lives next door."
"You live next door, so close?" A light flashed in Xu Jingjing's eyes.
Seeing Xu Jingjing like this, Chu An immediately guessed her intention, but he couldn't do anything about it. She was just a kid, playing around. He sighed, "Yanyan, change your clothes and go eat."
"Can't I go to dinner wearing this?" Chu Yanyan didn't understand her second uncle's train of thought.
Chu An was speechless: "Not really, wear it if you want."
Chu Yanyan changed into darker clothes because the system reminded her that when eating, oil stains might get on her clothes, which would be difficult to wash.
On the way there, Xu Jingjing intentionally or unintentionally asked about Shen Qihe through Chu Yanyan's mouth.
Her question made Chu Yanyan feel a little strange.
Xu Jingjing's behavior was the same as those sisters asking him about Shen Qihe. After realizing this, he began to ask questions without knowing anything. Shen Qihe looked down on other sisters who were prettier than Xu Jingjing, let alone Xu Jingjing.
So he would not let Xu Jingjing succeed in her intention.
“What, Shen Qihe doesn’t even have QQ. Chu Yanyan, if you lied to me, don’t let me be rude to you.”
No matter how Xu Jingjing asked, Chu Yanyan answered that she didn't know.
Xu Jingjing couldn't help but feel a little angry and embarrassed. In her eyes, she was the center of attention. She didn't believe that she couldn't get Shen Qihe's contact information in the past few days.
It was Chu Yanyan's first time to eat at a restaurant outside, and she couldn't help but be curious about what the food was like.
When Chen Yurong came back from get off work, she saw Shen Qihe cooking in the house. She remembered that when she came in, she saw the car in front of Grandma Chu’s house and asked, “Why don’t you go to Yanyan’s place tonight?”
Shen Qihe put the fried vegetables on the plate: “His second uncle is back.”
"Oh, then should we go over to visit?" Chen Yurong asked after taking off her work shoes and changing into casual shoes.
Shen Qihe stopped what he was doing: "No, do you want people to think we are here to cling to them?"
Chen Yurong said embarrassedly: "That's not the case. We're just neighbors, so it's okay to ask. Since you said so, I won't go."
"Well, let's eat." Shen Qihe said. But his mind kept thinking about the conversation he had encountered today. Looking at the family of Chu Yanyan's uncle, there were many contradictions. If Yanyan lived with them, it was not difficult to guess that Yanyan would be suitable for them to use as a punching bag.
If Grandma Chu was gone, where would Yanyan go? Who would raise Yanyan? If neither of Grandma Chu's sons wanted to, would Yanyan have to be sent to an orphanage? But if one of the sons looked like a bad person, Yanyan would suffer even more if she stayed with them.
Thinking of all the possibilities, he felt quite annoyed and frowned.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but find it funny. It was just a child, what did it have to do with him? Could it be that he really cared about it?
As soon as he thought of this, his face immediately calmed down. Recalling Chu Yanyan's red eyes from crying, he really felt a little concerned.
…
After returning from the hotel.
Chu Yanyan looked disappointed. It was so greasy and there were no carrots. It was not as delicious as the food made by Shen Qihe.
When he came back, it was already dark.
Chu Yanyan glanced at Shen Qihe’s house, and the lights were still on inside.
After a pause, he walked towards his home, carrying the chicken soup that his second uncle bought for his grandmother.
Chu An sent Chu Yanyan to the intersection and then went back.
The street lights on the roadside lengthened Chu Yanyan's figure.
early morning.
Chu Yanyan woke up on time. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he said something to his grandmother and walked out of the house.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Qihe had been standing at the door waiting for a long time.
Chu Yanyan closed the door, grabbed Shen Qihe’s hand, and the two walked towards their destination hand in hand.
Chu Yanyan looked at Shen Qihe's rather mature face, and only then did he realize that he was already in the last year of the first stage of the 6+3+3 program.
In a few weeks, by the beginning of July, Shen Qihe will have finished this first phase.
From then on he went alone.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanyan couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Shen Qihe noticed that Chu Yanyan was in a bad mood and asked him, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother, if you are not here, we will never meet again." Chu Yanyan looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked.
Shen Qihe's face was full of doting as he explained, "Nonsense, I'm at (a) [middle school] in town. I'll be back on the weekend and we can meet."
"Really?" Chu Yanyan snorted.
Shen Qihe pulled out a few tissues from his pocket and wiped Chu Yanyan’s tearful face: “Of course, brother won’t lie to you.”
Chu Yanyan hugged Shen Qihe with both hands and rubbed his clothes: “Yeah!”
Shen Qihe thought that after this explanation, Chu Yanyan would calm down.
But Chu Yanyan counted on her fingers and suddenly found that there was a third stage.
So he looked at Shen Qihe with moist eyes again: “Then when I was in the second stage and you were in the third stage, we were still not in the same place.”
Shen Qihe laughed and quickly gave an answer: “Then I will find a place with the second and third stages, and then we will be in the same place.”
Chu Yanyan understood the plot, and there were no second or third stages in the place where Shen Qihe was before. This was good, Shen Qihe could avoid those tragic events.
So he nodded, not forgetting to extend his little finger, staring at Shen Qihe and said, "Let's make a pinky promise."
He was worried that Shen Qihe would change his mind at the last minute, so he just tried to appease him. After all, there was still a lot of time. What if Shen Qihe changed his mind again by then?
Shen Qihe looked at Chu Yanyan's fair, tender, and childish face, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to take a bite. No matter what happened in the future, he would first cherish the present time with the little dumpling. He stretched out his pinky finger and hooked it with the boy's pinky finger.
The two of them said lies that were obviously false, but they were willing to believe them.
"We'll make a promise and stick together for a hundred years. If you do, you're a puppy."
Shen Qihe finished speaking. He lowered his head and touched the boy's forehead, looking into the boy's clear eyes.
Finally, she lost control and kissed the boy's fair face, then quickly let go and ran away.
Chu Yanyan pursed her lips slightly and hurried to follow him, asking the system in her mind: "Xiao Qi, why did he kiss me?"
"This should be just a kiss between relatives. It seems that Shen Qihe regards you as his relative. Yanyan, you did a good job." The system said rationally.
