Chapter 22 White Crane

Ke Jiao was shocked by Gu Nai's words, and after a while, his cheeks slowly turned red, "He hasn't said anything about getting married yet."

Proposal?If Gu Nai hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have had this concept in her mind for a while.

Indeed, the relationship between her and Xie Xiuyi, from the very beginning to the moment they are about to live together, has always been regarded as the speed of lightning love in the eyes of others, but as the party involved, it is strange for her not to feel that the progress is too fast.

Probably because someone led her along the way naturally, she obediently obeyed his rhythm.

But...she didn't think there was anything wrong, but if she got married, it seemed...it felt a little early?

"His career has just started, and he has a lot of things to do," she told Gu Nai. "I think it's good now."

Gu Nai touched his chin, "Well... But, what if there is an emergency?"

"What unexpected situation?"

"For example..." Gu Nai suddenly laughed, "You suddenly have a baby, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Ke Jiao jumped up instantly like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and pointed at Gu Nai, "You... Xiao Yiyun, you..."

Could this child be spoiled by Rui You?Or is it just so limitless? !
"Look at Djay's super possessive look, well, maybe there will be." Gu Nai continued to lose his morals without changing his face.

"...No way," Ke Jiao blushed, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, "We..."

They... No, it should be said that someone, although quite loyal to oppressing her, is different from the previous style. They have always been very careful about this matter, and nothing went wrong.

"The two of them are really good brothers..." Gu Nai observed her face, and suddenly said, "They are surprisingly cautious in this matter..."

After Ke Jiao wanted to understand the meaning of Gu Nai's words, she immediately patted the little girl's shoulder blushing, "...Xiao Yiyun, you are really young, you just passed your 21st birthday, right? Even Lao Qu knows that impulsiveness is the devil ah……"

With the deepening of the relationship, why does she always feel that this kid from Rui You's family is more magical than Rui You...

Before the girl's private topic was finished, the two men returned to the house. It was almost until around six o'clock in the evening that Ke Jiao's rented house was basically emptied.

After returning to Xie Xiuyi's home, Xie Xiuyi originally wanted to drive Rui You and Gu Nai back immediately and start living a two-person world with his sister, but Ke Jiao really couldn't bear it, and insisted on putting Rui You and the others on his bad face. Call to Xie's house, go to the kitchen to cook and invite them to have dinner together.

"It's so delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious meal!" After eating the dishes she made, Gu Nai praised her with snot and tears, "Little Spinach, marry me, I will marry you! I will treat you well! Better than Djay treats you!"

Before Ke Jiao could answer, she heard Xie Xiuyi who was beside her say coldly, "Sure enough, I want to guard against you."

"Xie Xiuyi! She only likes men, she likes me!" Rui You raised her eyebrows, very dissatisfied, "Little Spinach has been squeezed by you like this, are you afraid that she can't bear it and runs away one day?"

"Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen before you enter the coffin." Xie Xiuyi didn't raise his head.

Seeing that Rui You was about to roll up her sleeves and try to fight with the giant baby with facial paralysis, Ke Jiao hurriedly smoothed things over and changed the subject, "Old Qu, tell me about the two of you in high school? I want to hear it."

"Ah, I want to hear it too!" Gu Nai immediately put down his chopsticks and raised his hand.

Xie Xiuyi originally heard Ke Jiao say that and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing her radiant and interested look, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

"Which do you want to know?" Rui You said vaguely while eating meat, "Do you want to know about studies? Or about bad records? Or about picking up girls?"

"Bad record?" Ke Jiao asked curiously, "What bad record?"

"Ah, in high school, Xie Xiuyi kept skipping classes and went to sleep on the rooftop, and I kept going to bars to drink, and I was given a white warning by the school." Rui You snapped his fingers, "But in the final exam, he was the first in the school year, and I It's second."

... So, is this a chance for the two of them to show off their IQ?
"Actually, I'd rather hear the part about picking up girls," Gu Nai looked at Rui You with piercing eyes.

Rui You scratched her head, "Xiao Yiyun, don't look at me like that, actually I'm not very popular abroad...and I don't like dealing with people..."

"Then who is your first love?" Gu Nai's eyes were like swords, "I remember you said, it wasn't me?"

Rui You was startled, biting half of the meat in his mouth in embarrassment.

"Say."

"...It's a Chinese girl I met in college..."

"Does it look good?"

Ke Jiao watched Rui You's face turn paler and paler, and silently sweated for him, thinking that the most violent temper in the Jianghu had met his nemesis, what a thing.

But at this moment, Xie Xiuyi, who had been burying his head in his meal, replied casually for Rui You, "That's right, Hei is long and straight, with smiling eyes."

... Rui You's face turned completely blue.

"Oh? So that's the case." Gu Nai put down his chopsticks and looked at Rui You with a smile. "No wonder you didn't realize that I was a girl at the time. It turns out that you like the kind of cute girl with long hair. I'm sorry whether it is Hei Changzhi or Smiling Eyes doesn't suit me, does the first love have a deep memory? Have you ever thought about renewing the relationship?"

"...I'll go to the kitchen and bring the soup."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the table began to change, Ke Jiao quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead, bent over and hurriedly evacuated from the table.

At this time, the 36 plan must be the best escape.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the kitchen, there was a loud argument between the violent young couple and the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

It seems that I have to go to the supermarket to buy some new bowls and chopsticks later...

"You just leave me alone?"

As soon as he turned off the fire, he heard the kitchen door being closed. Xie Xiuyi put one hand in his trouser pocket, walked in slowly, and looked at her quietly.

Ke Jiao couldn't say anything to refute, so she could only bite her lip and watch him get closer and closer.

Walking in front of her, he raised his hand and stroked her hair, "They'll leave after they quarrel, yes, they can be quiet again."

"That..." She tugged at the corner of his clothes, "You used to, in high school and college..."

"Are there any girls chasing me?"

"……Um."

In fact, although Gu Nai's temper is a little anxious, she still understands Gu Nai very well. For a girl, her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend or first love should all have a grudge.

After all, the person you love so much once belonged to someone else, no matter how you think about it, you will feel a little lost.

"Yes." He looked at her and said the expected answer, "A lot."

"...Then you," she thought of what he had told her, that she was his first love, "rejected them all?"

She believes that there must be many excellent and beautiful girls who like him.

"Yes." He moved closer to her, "what else?"

"Don't you think it's a pity?" She gave him a wicked look and smiled secretly.

But who knows, he answered her very seriously, "I don't think so."

"Ke Jiao, maybe there are many girls in this world who are suitable to be girlfriends and wives. I have met them before, and I may meet them now and in the future." He gently touched the back of her neck, "But only you can It makes me feel at home, which is irreplaceable.”

"Your family has given you a lot of warmth."

He stretched out his hand, hugged her, and gradually tightened his arms, "I hope you can share this happiness with me and give me a home."

"I'm being selfish."

This time, he was not drunk.

Ke Jiao listened to him saying these words to herself so clearly, and felt shocked in her heart, felt that her entire atrium was filled, and her eyes became more and more sour.

The last time I had dinner with her parents at her house, that scene must have given him a lot of emotional shock.

He is a person who lacks family warmth since he was a child.Without the company of her mother, without the care of her father, it was hard for her to imagine how he grew up in the environment she grew up in. Without help and encouragement, he could only do everything by himself.

In this world, there is no one he can rely on and cling to.

How lonely, even laughing, even crying, no one knows, just like an invisible shadow.

Her big boy, really lonely.

Others look like he is so majestic, but what he needs is very simple, in fact, it is just a home.

"Xie Xiuyi," she stretched out her hand and hugged him back forcefully, "My parents will be your parents from now on, and I will be your home."

As long as you turn your head, you can see me, I will always be behind you waiting for you.

"...Xie Xiuyi,"

After a while, Ke Jiao pulled out someone's dishonest hand from her clothes with a red face, "What are you doing with your hand!"

Shouldn't this moment be full of emotion?Shouldn't it be right to confess to her affectionately?Why does someone show this feeling of sperm on the brain?
"Oh, it's disobedient, I can't control it." The giant coquettish ghost opened its eyes and said nonsense, "It said it wanted to touch it."

"...Xie Xiuyi!"

The next second, she saw him hugging her and laughing softly.

The corners of his lips were raised when he smiled, and his eyes were also bent when he smiled, not at all like his usual cold face all year round.

She never said that to him.

In fact, he was not a cold-blooded and heartless person, and she also got a lot of warmth from him.

She also wanted to protect his smile for the rest of her life.

The cohabitation with Xie Xiuyi officially kicked off.

Originally, Ke Jiao thought that her life would change a lot, but in fact, not much changed.

When he got up in the morning, he had already left home, and when he came back in the evening, it was already late at night.

Although the time we met was very short, and he always looked tired when he came back, she still sighed quietly in her heart that it was really great to be able to live together.

It's nice to be able to fill him with bath water, listen to him talk, and cook him when he's tired.

However, someone is very energetic about certain things... But she has no reason to stop it.

Although he was tortured to the point of exhaustion, but in his sleep, he could always unconsciously feel those powerful arms hugging him all the time, and he was still very happy.

That afternoon, she was writing a new article seriously in front of the computer, but the doorbell at home suddenly rang.

"I'm coming,"

At this time, usually only Rui You and Gu Nai would come to visit, but when she opened the door, she found a strange middle-aged man standing outside.

The middle-aged man was wearing a well-tailored suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a good bearing.

"Hello,"

In her puzzled eyes, the middle-aged man smiled and spoke first, "This is Xie Xiuyi's home, right?"

Ke Jiao looked at him, but didn't speak for a moment, wondering if this person might be some kind of media reporter who inadvertently dug up Xie Xiuyi's home address to find out about his private life, right?
I was thinking about how to deal with the other party, but saw the man smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm not a media reporter, nor a member of a brokerage company,"

"I am Xie Xiuyi's father."

The atmosphere in the living room is a little awkward now.

Ke Jiao went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water for the middle-aged man who claimed to be Xie Xiuyi's father, then sat opposite the sofa and drank tea with him silently.

At first glance, Xie Xiuyi's facial features are indeed similar to his, and the outline is also very similar, so he should not be lying.

However, she was still a little shocked. Didn't she hear that Xie Xiuyi's father had been living in the United States all year round?How could he suddenly come to his home in T city?

"Are you Xie Xiuyi's girlfriend?" Father Xie took a sip of tea.

She nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Ke Jiao."

"It's quite special," Father Xie glanced at her, "Did your parents get it for you?"

"Well," she replied frankly, "It is said that they have already chosen this name for me before I was born, and it is the result of a long discussion."

"You have a good relationship with your parents?"

Ke Jiao looked into Xie's father's deep eyes and did not evade, "Yes, very good. My parents have always given me positive education since I was a child, and they have always accompanied me to grow up, giving me a lot of warmth."

These words are true, but in fact, she said them deliberately to the other party with a move in her heart.

After she finished speaking, although she felt a little guilty, thinking that it was too much to say to her elders, she felt that she didn't regret it at all.

Maybe it's because she's been with Xie Xiuyi for a long time, so it turns out that she would become such an aggressive person because she wanted to protect him... However, she doesn't hate herself for being like this.

Sure enough, after listening to what she said, Father Xie looked at her deeply for a while, "Do you know about our family?"

"It's not detailed, just a rough idea," she said.

"Oh," Father Xie crossed his legs and squinted his eyes, "So, you are hostile to me?"

Ke Jiao bit her lip, "Don't dare."

Father Xie was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect my son to like this type of girl, and it's quite expected... How should I put it, soft on the outside and strong on the inside? Usually you are the one take care of him?"

She blushed slightly and nodded.

"Is he capricious? He always looks like he has an upturned nostril that no one can look down on? And he has a strange temper?"

... Thank you, Dad. Although what you said is true, is it really okay to say that about your son?
"I haven't seen him for several years." Father Xie didn't seem to need her answer, but just said to himself, "We haven't met since he returned to China after graduating from university. If he doesn't go back to the United States, I will He didn't see me in T city either."

"It's hard to find out his address this time. I want to see him. He must be at work, right? I heard that he has debuted as a singer now?"

I haven't seen it for several years... father and son?It sounds like a fantasy.

Ke Jiao looked at Xie's father's cheek. Although he was well-maintained and still full of the handsomeness of a middle-aged man, he was old after all, and the spots and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were more or less obvious. He should have been very handsome when he was young. Man, now also old.

So, is it guilt, or longing?Although he covered up the expression on his face, she could still see that trace of loneliness.

This man who abandoned Xie Xiuyi since childhood and pursued his own happiness, what kind of feelings does he have for Xie Xiuyi in his heart?

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Ke Jiao thought that it should be Rui You and the others this time, and while thinking about how to persuade them to go back, she walked towards the door, so she opened the door without even looking at the cat's eyes.

When she saw the person standing outside the door, she was completely dumbfounded.

"...Why are you back?" The person in front of him was clearly Xie Xiuyi who was supposed to be home in the early hours of the morning.

"What?" Xie Xiuyi walked into the door, took off his hat, wrapped his arms around her waist, narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, and said in a low voice with dissatisfaction, "Did you hide a man at home?"

...there really is a man...

She dodged his gaze and patted his hand, "There is someone at home."

"Who?"

Ke Jiao backed away, nervously motioning him to look at Father Xie sitting on the sofa.

Originally, Xie Xiuyi's expression was still relaxed, but when he saw Father Xie, his expression immediately changed slightly.

"Your father has been here for a while." She looked at his unclear expression and said softly.

Seeing him coming home, Father Xie stood up and nodded slightly at him, "Long time no see, how are you?"

Not only did Ke Jiao's heart become more and more agitated by the weird father's question, but the atmosphere between them also made her a little scared.

"I happened to be in T City on business, so I stopped by to have a look." Seeing that he was silent, Father Xie said again, "I'll be back in the US on Friday."

Xie Xiuyi's gaze flickered like a lamp for a moment, and then, under the unexpected circumstances of Ke Jiao and Xie's father, he walked past Xie's father expressionlessly, as if he hadn't even seen Xie's father. Beside him, he strode into the bedroom and closed the door heavily with his backhand.

Ke Jiao did not expect Xie Xiuyi to react like this at all, and looked at Xie's father a little at a loss, "...Uncle, that..."

Father Xie glanced back at the closed bedroom door and scratched his hair, "I almost expected him to react like this."

She had nothing to say.

"I won't be angry, because I never gave him the care and warmth that your parents gave you when I was a child. I didn't treat him well at all. It's normal for him to hate me and hate me. Now I come to him again, and he also It will only spurn me and despise me even more."

After finishing speaking, Father Xie walked to the entrance, looked back at her, and smiled, "Xiao Ke, I will trouble you to take care of him from now on. My son is like me, so he is not very easy to serve."

Standing in the empty living room for a sudden visit and leaving without hesitation, Ke Jiao felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After standing for a while, she gently opened the bedroom door, and saw Xie Xiuyi lying on the bed wearing earphones, listening to music with his eyes closed.

The relationship between men is inherently reserved, and the problem between the father and son is probably only clear to the two of them.

"come over."

Sensing her entering the room, he turned sideways and waved to her.

Ke Jiao walked over and was immediately pulled onto the bed by him, and then gently hugged in his arms.

Plugging one of the earphones he was listening to into her ear, he leaned against her forehead and said, "This is the demo of the new song that was just recorded today."

With a nice and special melody, and a correct accent, she felt very comfortable in his warm embrace.

The mood seemed to be able to be conveyed through the earphones. She hugged his waist, "It sounds very good, very good."

"Really?"

"Ah."

She could feel that his mood seemed to improve a little bit, and felt his hands pat her back gently in rhythm.

"All the songs have been recorded, and the EP has already entered the production stage. It is estimated that it will be released in the summer." He whispered.

"Great," she raised her head from his arms and looked at him with a smile, "I just said, you will never violate the military order, and you will complete the writing and singing of all songs on time."

Xie Xiuyi looked at her cheek, and after a long time, he suddenly kissed her eyes, and then, with a cooler voice, he seemed to be telling himself and her, "Ke Jiao, don't leave me. "

The domineering and coercive tone was faintly disturbing.

She was taken aback, but was hugged even tighter by him.

The strength of being hugged couldn't break free. She felt a little shaken in her heart. After a few seconds of silence, she hugged him back forcefully, "Don't worry, I won't."

On Wednesday night, when Xie Xiuyi came home, he suddenly told her that there would be an awards ceremony for the Billboard Awards tomorrow night.

Originally, he should not be on the attendance list of the dinner, but because of the outstanding performance of "Black and White Mask", he was exceptionally listed on the attendance list and the list of candidates for the best new male singer at the same time, and he couldn't even refuse. .

Of course Ke Jiao was very happy for him. You must know that Billboard is an annual event in the music industry, where many popular singers and entertainers gather.

"Zeng Qian has a work permit, and she will arrange for you the VIP seat with the best view."

While brushing his teeth in the bathroom, he suddenly told her vaguely but seriously, "You must come."

No matter whether he can win the award or not, he always hopes that she can watch him from the place closest to him.

Sensing the thoughts behind his feigned vicious expression, she was both moved and amused, and suddenly had the idea of ​​bullying him, and she looked embarrassed, "But I may have something to do tomorrow night, and I have to work on the draft at home, because the day after tomorrow is a magazine short story." It's deadline."

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, someone immediately threw the toothbrush, dragged her over half-forcibly, pinched her face hard, and threatened with foam in her mouth, "Are you coming or not?"

She didn't speak, just laughed in his arms.

"Ke Jiao, you've learned a lot now..." A certain person was very dissatisfied, and kissed her face and neck indiscriminately with a mouth full of foam, "Huh?"

She was the most ticklish, she laughed and hid when he treated her like this, but after hiding like this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with his eyes.

"that……"

Something flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, "Can I bring others to see you?"

Xie Xiuyi's hands were already irregular, he breathed a little rough and said "um", he replied impatiently, "You want to take Rui You and Gu Nai? Yes, just tell Zeng Qian..."

"Really?" Her eyes were bright, and she confirmed with him again and again.

"Ah."

"Forgot to say," he spat out the foam in his mouth, with a touch of desire and sexiness floating on his beautiful cheeks, and lightly licked the corner of her mouth with his tongue, "All the guests attending the banquet will be in the hotel next to the Grand Theater Stay one night, you and me."
