Chen Man also stretched out her hand and accidentally touched his.
A smile filled Xu Junyang's eyes, and his gaze fell on her trembling little finger.
Chen Man's little finger trembled a few times and she blinked.
It was an unintentional mistake, but it's harmless.
When two hands representing completely different genders are compared together, the difference is even more obvious.
Xu Junyang felt her hands were cold.
"Your hands are cold, warm them up."
His natural concern made Chen Man's heart melt.
A little uncomfortable.
She brushed the hair by her ear and smiled at him, "I'm naturally cold, so my hands and feet are never warm in winter."
"Go upstairs and change into thicker clothes now. It will probably take some time before the next round of dinner." Xu Junyang nodded slightly. Although it was a suggestion, it sounded a bit overbearing and unacceptable to Chen Man.
She pursed her lips and looked at him, and Xu Junyang looked back quietly.
"Okay." Chen Man admitted defeat and went upstairs to change clothes.
Xu Junyang looked at her departing back with a gentle look in his eyes.
When Chen Man came downstairs, she saw Leng Ling walking towards her and said to her, "You're late. Let's eat together later. Let's go over there and warm up by the fire first."
"Well, my condolences."
Chen Man nodded lightly.
Xu Junyang was still sitting there.
There was a circle of chairs around the fire, but Chen Man walked over and sat on the one she had just sat on, next to Xu Junyang.
Leng Leng sat down next to Chen Man and greeted Xu Junyang, "Brother Junyang."
Xu Junyang glanced at her and replied, "Yeah."
A black car drove into Yuren Village, and the further it went into the village, the slower it drove.
There are many people on the road, and people from the city have moved to the countryside.
Xu Xingzhi drove in and crossed the yard. There were many cars but few people.
It wasn't until the car drove to my doorstep that I understood what was going on.
As soon as Xu Xingzhi's car appeared, it attracted the attention of the men in aprons standing on the side of the road and the villagers who were having a meal in Chen Man's yard.
The men wearing aprons standing on the side of the road are the main force helping with banquets in the village.
They were the ones who cooked, served the food, and carried the dead up the mountain.
Among them are his father Xu Helian and his older brother Xu Zhengxi.
Everyone turned their eyes to the car.
Xu Xingzhi and Shi Guang had parted ways a few hours ago, and he drove back by himself.
The car stopped, I took the phone in my hand, opened the door and got out.
"Oh, it's the big star!"
"Xingzhi is here!"
Following two loud roars from an unknown source, everyone in the audience looked towards Xu Junyang's house.
Those who couldn't see even stood up and looked, holding bowls in their hands.
"Where is it?"
"The big star is back?"
"Oh, I just saw him on TV last night, and now he's back!"
Chen Man didn't know what everyone was talking about, but they seemed very excited. They all looked in the direction of Xu Junyang's house.
She asked Xu Junyang, confused, "What are they discussing? What big star?"
Xu Junyang chuckled, "My brother is back."
"Ah?" Chen Man was stunned.
Considering Xu Junyang's age, she didn't seem to have heard of any famous star with the surname Xu.
Maybe it’s because he just debuted.
After all, in the eyes of the villagers, anyone who enters the entertainment industry will probably be called a big star.
"Your brother is quite impressive. He's become a celebrity. Does your family have a better homestead?"
Xu Junyang understood what she meant and looked at her with amusement, "I don't know."
"Of course it is. Look at how big your family business is, you three brothers are so promising, and your family is harmonious." Chen Man gave a positive answer herself.
When Leng Leng heard the words "the big star is back", his heart suddenly sank and then began beating like a drum.
I became very uncomfortable in an instant.
She didn't look in the direction everyone was looking, for fear of unexpectedly meeting a pair of high-spirited eyes.
She leaned forward, warming her arms on her legs, her eyes fixed on the sparks that flickered in the pot.
Although he seems to be in a trance, in fact all his attention is focused somewhere.
As he walked, Xu Xingzhi put his cell phone into his jacket pocket and took out two packs of cigarettes from another pocket.
He walked closer and handed cigarettes to the villagers standing by the roadside, then looked at Xu Helian and Xu Zhengxi, "Dad, big brother."
After saying hello, he looked at Chen Manjia and asked, "Guizhen Nai passed away?"
"Yeah, I left this morning."
Xu Xingzhi took another look at the mourning hall, feeling a faint sadness in his heart.
He only comes back once a year, and every time he comes back, there are always a few fewer people in the village.
Grandma Junyang put down the bowl in her hand and came over happily.
Xu Xingzhi threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, stepped on it, and took two steps forward, "Nana!"
"Finally back! Are you hungry? Come on, I'll give you that seat, go sit down and eat."
Xu Xingzhi held his grandmother's hand and replied with a smile, "Go eat now. I'm not hungry. I just got off the car and have no appetite."
"Are you feeling a little dizzy? I'll get you an orange to cheer you up." The old lady turned around and prepared to go home.
"Mom, don't worry about him. Go eat first. He's such a grown-up, why does he still need you to take care of him?" Xia Meng and Hua Chunya came out of their house, both wearing aprons.
Xu Xingzhi: "Mom, sister-in-law."
After calling the people, he hurriedly held his grandmother's shoulders, turned her back, and gently pushed her forward.
"Grandma, no thanks. I don't eat oranges. Go finish your meal quickly, or it'll get cold."
"Then you can eat with your mom later. Look at you, you're still wearing the clothes you wore on TV yesterday. It means you haven't had any rest. After dinner, go back and take a nap, okay?"
"Yeah, I got it." With so many people watching, I was already conspicuous enough.
"Are you cold? Your second brother is warming himself by the fire in the bamboo forest. Go and warm yourself there."
Xu Xingzhi's gaze passed through the yard and fell over there.
Seeing a familiar figure, he looked at it quietly for two seconds, but the person didn't move at all.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After hearing what was said, grandma returned to her dining table.
Xia Meng walked up to him and patted his wrinkled clothes. "Did you drive all night?"
"It switches with the sun."
"Next time, don't rush. It doesn't matter if you get home early or late. The most important thing is safety. Do you hear me?"
Xu Xingzhi nodded, "I heard it."
"Aren't you cold wearing so little? Didn't you bring your luggage back?"
"I have it. It's in the trunk."
"Go change your clothes, don't catch a cold and pass it on to the elderly."
Xu Xingzhi could only go to the trunk, open the suitcase, take out a long coat and put it on.
In winter, banquets are served more quickly.
He had just put on his clothes and came back when many people had finished their meals and left.
The people standing on the side of the road began to walk towards the kitchen area.
Xia Meng hurriedly took his hand and said, "Let's go. We haven't eaten yet. It's a good time to go together."
