Chapter 533 If I touch too much, will my tail go bald? (2)

Bai Yao smiled, "Xiao Rou, long time no see. Girls really change a lot when they grow up. You are more beautiful again."

Wen Xiaorou smiled shyly.

The girl holding Zhou Xu's hand on the other side said, "Cousin Yaoyao, please don't praise her. I'm afraid she will laugh out loud when she goes to sleep tonight."

This is Wen Jiujiu from my third uncle's family. She is the same age as Wen Xiaorou and was admitted to a good university this year. She is beautiful and charming, and she is a perfect match for the handsome Zhou Xu.

It was at this time that Bai Yao guessed that Zhou Xu was dating Wen Jiujiu.

It is estimated that Zhou Xu often interacts with relatives on his uncle's side, so he and Wen Jiujiu gradually developed feelings for each other.

Standing behind Wen Jiujiu was a young boy who was playing games on his phone with his head down. He was Wen Jiujiu's younger brother Wen Ming, who was in his third year of high school and had a serious internet addiction.

Zhou Xu had come down the mountain to buy snacks for Wen Jiujiu. He was generous and took out the snack bag and shared some with everyone.

A man in a suit and leather shoes stood in the aisle. He wore glasses and looked handsome, but he looked serious. This was Wen Tingzhi from my uncle's family. He was the oldest among the children. Because he was too serious, his younger brothers and sisters were a little afraid of him.

"Bai Yao, come in and see your uncle and grandpa."

Bai Yao nodded, followed Wen Tingzhi through the corridor, passed through several courtyard gates, and entered the deepest main courtyard. There were several pear trees planted here. If it is the flowering season, it should be very beautiful.

Wen Tingzhi knocked on the door first, and a man opened the door from inside. Seeing Bai Yao, he smiled warmly, "Yaoyao, we were still talking about when you could come today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

The woman inside heard the movement and came out, "Yaoyao is here!"

Bai Yao smiled, "Second uncle, second aunt."

The three uncles and three aunts who came this time had a clear division of labor. Who would take care of the old man and when were all arranged on the schedule.

As for who can get the old man's favor in the available time, it depends on their ability.

The second uncle and the second aunt hurriedly let Bai Yao into the house.

The windowless room was filled with an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine. On the old carved bed lay a haggard old man.

His skin was like dry bark. Every rise and fall of his breath seemed to be using up all his strength. The passing of life seemed to be materialized in his body.

But only his eyes, strangely black and white, clean and clear, and exceptionally young.

The second aunt said gently: "Second uncle, this is Yaoyao from Wenwan's family, she is here to see you."

Bai Yao stood by the bed and softened her tone, "Uncle grandpa, I am Bai Yao."

The old man's eyes moved and fell on Bai Yao, and a sound like a gasp came out of his throat, "It's... Yaoyao... You have grown so big..."

When Bai Yao was just born, because uncle grandpa didn't allow others to see him and didn't want to go down the mountain for a walk, Wenwan sent him a photo of Bai Yao. In his impression, maybe Bai Yao is still the baby in the cradle. The

old man stretched out his thin hand with difficulty, and Bai Yao understood and stretched out his hand to hold it.

A smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "I've read the things you sent me... We like them very much..."

The "we" he said should refer to him and his wife.

During every Chinese New Year, Wen Wan would ask Bai Yao to write a few greeting cards or prepare some gifts to send to the old man. She didn't know what to give, sometimes it was dried flowers she made, sometimes it was paintings she drew. Fortunately, the old man and his wife didn't mind.

Bai Yao smiled with the corners of his eyes curved, "As long as uncle likes it, I will give you things in the future."

The old man pulled the corners of his mouth, "Okay... okay..."

After all, he was not in good spirits, and these words to Bai Yao had almost used up all his energy for the day.

The second uncle quickly told the old man to take a rest, while the second aunt asked Wen Tingzhi to take Bai Yao to the rest room.

Wen Tingzhi kindly reminded, "This house is very old and has not been maintained for a long time. Power outages are common. Don't walk around outside at night. It's in the wilderness and it's easy to get lost. The signal is not good, and it will be bad if something happens."

"I know." Bai Yao asked curiously: "Cousin, how long have Wen Jiujiu and Zhou Xu been together?"

Wen Tingzhi replied: "More than two months, why are you asking this?"

Bai Yao touched his chin and said strangely: "I remember when we were playing house when we were young, Zhou Xu wanted Wen Jiujiu to be his bride, but Wen Jiujiu said she didn't like him and didn't want to play with him. How come the two of them are together after growing up."

"Who can decide what to do when you grow up?" Wen Tingzhi obviously didn't want to continue this topic. He stopped in front of a courtyard gate. "The room arranged for you is inside. Zhou Xu has already put your luggage in. You can go in by yourself."

Bai Yao glanced at Wen Tingzhi's back as he left. He felt that something was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Walking through the gate and into the yard, what caught his eyes were yellow dead leaves scattered all over the ground. The fallen leaves gathered around a dry well blocked by stone slabs. When the wind blew, the fallen leaves on the stone slabs were blown up by the wind, bringing up a cloud of dust, blinding people's eyes.

Bai Yao rubbed his eyes and realized that the place where he lived was a little far away from that group of people. Not only was it far, but it was also a little desolate.

When she first arrived here, her uncle arranged a room for her, saying that it was a separate yard for her, so that when her parents came over, the three of them could live together, but he didn't tell her to live in this remote yard.

Ever since Wen Wan and Bai Yu got married, they worked hard together to set up a company, and their business has been growing bigger and bigger, but they didn't let the uncles of the Wen family get a share of the profits. I'm afraid these uncles have a lot of complaints in their hearts.

Living in a remote place certainly has its advantages, as you can see them less often and don't have to greet them with a false smile every time.

However, there are several rooms in the yard, and which one is she going to live in?

Bai Yao was still hesitating, when a strong wind suddenly arose, dark clouds gathered, lightning struck, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.

The weather in the mountains is so changeable. Rain fell

without warning, and she was soaked. Bai Yao ran to the eaves and pushed open a door. Unexpectedly, she was hit by a red color like a raging fire in her eyes blurred by rain and mist.

It was a young man in a red Tang suit.

Her eyes were covered with white silk, her face was like jade, without a single blood color, her long white hair danced lightly in the misty wind like strands of moonlight, seemingly illusory.

He knelt behind the tea table, the white porcelain cup in his hand was spotless, but for a moment she couldn't tell whether the jade was whiter or his long, bony fingers were paler and colder. The

sudden intruder had caused too much noise, the wind and rain rushed in from outside the door, the wind chimes hanging everywhere in the room tinkled and clanged randomly, disturbing people's hearts.

The man raised his face slightly, his eyes under the white silk seemed to be looking in her direction.
