the stars fell on his head

Chapter 71
Xi Xiu spent the whole afternoon frying eggs in the shape of hearts, moons, stars, and all kinds of shapes.

He had to wait until Shi Zhijiu praised him that he cooks better than Chen Sizuo before he stopped.

Grandpa's car was already waiting downstairs, Xi Xiu helped her move things down, moved them back and forth three times, but Shi Zhijiu didn't touch anything.

Xi Xiu closed the trunk and opened the rear door for her, "Sit in."

Shi Zhijiu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Aren't you going with me?"

The driver looked over from the rearview mirror and could see Shi Zhijiu's thoughts at a glance, "Young man, the old man is still waiting for you at home!"

He used you on purpose.

Xi Xiu looked down at the aggrieved little girl, "Okay."

Along the way, Shi Zhijiu was next to Xi Xiu, chatting with each other.

Returned to the royal garden soon.

As soon as the two entered the door, they smelled the aroma from the kitchen. It was pumpkin pie! ! !
Grandma Shi did the cooking herself today.

It seems that her old man has received the news that her future grandson-in-law is coming home.

Grandpa Shi just came out of the studio, and was very happy to see his little granddaughter back.

"Yo, I thought I forgot about us two old men and old ladies!"

Shi Zhijiu hurried up and grabbed his grandfather's arm in a fawning manner, shaking and shaking, "Grandpa, grandpa!"

She also blinked quietly, "Grandpa, Xi Xiu is here."

Grandpa suddenly put on a serious face, "I know, my mind is full of ghosts!"

Turning to look at Xi Xiu by the door, "Ahem, Xi Xiu is here, come in and sit down."

"Hello grandpa."

When grandma heard the sound, she ran out with a shovel in her hand with oily hands.

"Nineteen!"

"Grandma!"

As soon as the granddaughter and grandma met, they were so happy that they toppled the roof.

Shi Zhijiu was about to give grandma a big hug, but she pushed her away, "Tsk tsk tsk, grandma is covered in oil, I want to hug your boyfriend!"

Shi Zhijiu glanced guiltyly at his grandfather, then at Xi Xiu, the former's face turned darker, while the latter just smiled dotingly.

She thought that Xi Xiu would be cramped and wanted to hide it for a while, but who knows, she couldn't escape her grandma's piercing eyes after all.

The point is, what is it that someone enjoys in particular?

Xi Xiu stepped towards the kitchen, "Grandma, let me help you."

"Oh, no need, it will be ready soon, you go and sit on the sofa first, and you come in and serve the dishes on the nineteenth."

Shi Zhijiu: "Okay."

Just as Xi Xiu was about to say that he was coming, Grandpa Shi was the first to say, "Xi Xiu, come up with me."

Grandpa Shi took him up to the second floor, his studio.

When Xi Xiu stepped in, his first feeling was that it was rare for an old man to decorate the studio so warmly.

"This studio was originally nineteen."

The decoration color of the studio is exactly the same as that of her apartment, all of which are empty lake and sea blue.

The drawing boards and palettes are arranged randomly, but they don't feel messy at all.

"She hasn't come in since high school, and all the paintings on the wall are painted before nineteen."

Xi Xiu followed the old man Shi's line of sight to look at the blue wall. Some of the paintings had a single color, while others had a strong collision of multiple colors. Each painting faintly revealed her inner thoughts.

Although he doesn't know much about painting, it can be seen that Shi Zhijiu is really suitable for learning painting. Every piece of her work seems to have healing magic power, which makes Xi Xiu unable to move his eyes.

Grandpa Shi: "I persuaded her many times, but she never compromised."

To Shi Zhijiu, Xi Xiu is a special existence in this world.

"Xi Xiu, you are the person she cares about most."

Xi Xiu: "You too."

"But I can't stay with her forever."

"That's most of my life."

He wants her to be happy more than anyone else.

"Xi Xiu, come here."

When the old man took out a box from the corner of the studio, the hands that were handing it to Xi Xiu were still trembling slightly.

"Open it."

Xi Xiu opened it as he said, and there was a small picture book inside, about the size of Xi Xiu's palm, so it was easy to carry.

"Put it away."

Bang bang bang!
Shi Zhijiu knocked on the door outside, "It's time to eat!"

Mr. Shi said, "Here we come."

"Let's go down and eat first."

When the two walked down the road, the old man kept telling, "Remember to take her to school with you in the morning, and have you made arrangements for her to learn painting? If not, let her come back Follow me."

"Don't worry, it's arranged."

"That's good."

"Are you still taking students at University A?"

"There are a few more following me."

"Then don't work too hard and pay more attention to your body."

"I'm strong!"

When Shi Zhijiu heard it, he immediately replied mercilessly, "Is the old man bragging again?"

The old man flew over with a sharp glance, "Girls, be careful when you speak!"

She pursed her lips, "I just know how to talk... blah blah blah..."

Grandma Shi came out from the kitchen and beckoned Xi Xiu to sit down quickly.

"Today grandma made pumpkin pancakes, crucian carp soup, steamed eggs with minced meat, and braised eggplant... I don't know if it suits your taste."

Shi Zhijiu picked up a piece of pumpkin pie, took a big bite and said proudly: "My grandma's pumpkin pie is a signature! The craftsmanship is top-notch."

Xi Xiu sat across from her and smiled, reaching out to wipe off the oil from her mouth, "My face is also a sign, why didn't you praise me?"

"What kind of technical content does noodles have?"

It's really heartbreaking... He went all the way to cook a bowl of noodles for her, but he was still so disgusted.

"Then what do you think can reflect the technical content? Pumpkin pie?"

Shi Zhijiu said while taking a small bowl of crucian carp soup to his mouth, "That's not true, there are also braised pork and garlic shrimp!"

As soon as she heard that it was her favorite dish, Xi Xiu silently remembered it in her heart.

As soon as the crucian carp soup was put to his mouth, Xi Xiu cut it off.

Shi Zhijiu was a little angry, "What are you doing?"

The two old men looked over.

"Put it in your mouth when it's so hot right out of the pan, Tie Wei?"

"..."

After finishing speaking, Xi Xiu scooped it up with a spoon, blew gently, and thoughtfully brought it to Shi Zhijiu's mouth before it burned his mouth.

Shi Zhijiu turned his head angrily.

Grandma Shi: "What's going on?"

"Aren't you going to drink?" Xi Xiu raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll drink."

He actually picked up her bowl and drank it.

As a result, during the meal, the two elderly people chatted happily on their own, the two children ate in silence, and Shi Zhijiu didn't look up at Xi Xiu from the beginning to the end.

He didn't understand why she was angry.

After dinner, the sky gradually dimmed.

Xi Xiu: "Go out for a walk?"

Shi Zhijiu: "Oh."

Yuyuan is a prime location in City A, full of single-family villas, the roads in the community are as wide as roads, the two of them suddenly stopped under a building while walking.

Shi Zhijiu: "Why did it stop?"

Xi Xiu walked over, took her hand, and walked slowly towards the door.

Shi Zhijiu's eyes were blank, not knowing what Xi Xiu was going to do, until he pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock with ease.

He pulled his hand out with a whoosh, and before Xi Xiu could react, she ran away.

"Shi Zhijiu! You dare to take another step and try."

Xi Xiu's piercing voice sounded behind her.

She turned her head embarrassingly, "I'm sorry... woo woo... I'm afraid..."

She had never met a prosecutor before, especially the prosecutor's father who was aloof and handsome. Hearing this title would scare people to tremble three times.

"return."

Shi Zhijiu reluctantly shuffled back, until Xi Xiu's shoes appeared in her field of vision, then she slowly raised her head.

"Xi Xiu! Why is your forehead bleeding??"

Although the amount of blood is not much, a bloodstain flowing down the stream is still a little scary.

"what happened to you?"

Shi Zhijiu died of anxiety.

"I am fine."

"Come in! Where is the medicine box?" She pushed Xi Xiu into the door in a panic, seeing her little girlfriend enter her door smoothly, Xi Xiu smiled contentedly.

Xi Xiu took him directly to his bedroom.

"Where's the medicine cabinet?"

Xi Xiu pointed to the coffee table in his room, a bright white box with a bright red cross printed on it.

Panicked, Shi Zhijiu found cotton balls, iodine tincture, and band-aids from the medicine box, and ordered Xi Xiu to sit down.

"Relax, I'm fine."

Shi Zhijiu's heart was full of his wounds, and he didn't care what he was talking about.

She gently lifted the broken hair on his forehead, and there was a dazzling dark red bloodstain, bleeding profusely, it was torn apart shortly after hemostasis.

"How did you do it?"

"Accidentally made it."

"to be frank."

"We're talking."

"When did you make it?"

"Morning."

"You have to tell the truth."

"The truth."

Shi Zhijiu's face slammed down, "Xi Xiu, do you think I'm a fool? I knew your father beat you when I called you this morning, so I said why you didn't blow your hair up today. Could it be that if I If you didn’t see it, why don’t you tell me?”

Obviously he was the one who got hurt, but she was the one who was wronged.

"We need to be honest with each other." Like a young child, she was steadfastly narrating the so-called truth to adults.

"I'm afraid you're worried." Even more afraid of her overthinking.

"But I feel bad."

"Okay, it's okay."

"Why did your dad hit you? Because he was with me? Because I'm a dad without..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head.

Xi Xiu immediately stopped her with a loud voice, "Shhh-".

"No, it's because I'm disobedient, not because of you."

"What did you do?"

"Last time I smashed his red wine."

Shi Zhijiu didn't ask specifically, and reluctantly believed him.

The clouds cleared outside the window, and the white full moon hung on the white-blue sky like this, and the sound of the car turning off was missed, "Your parents are back? I have to go, hurry up!" She patted Xi Xiu's shoulder urged.

"Are you afraid? Anyway, sooner or later we will see each other, right?"

"no!"

What if his parents had a bad first impression of her, what if they didn't like her.

Xi Xiu saw her thoughts clearly from between her frowning brows, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, my parents will like you, and my mother said this morning that you will come to my house for dinner this Saturday. "

"Dining with your parents? At home? Here??" She pointed to the floor under her feet in surprise.

"Well, this is the home."

"You agreed??? Why didn't you ask me first?"

Xi Xiu's face darkened, "What? The future parents-in-law are afraid to see each other? Or do you have other plans?"

"……no."

"Then remember to come."

The car that had just turned off didn't stay for long and drove out again.

Shi Zhijiu breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xi Xiu sent Shi Zhijiu back, he said, "I've already arranged the matter of learning painting. I'll take you to meet the teacher in the next few days, and then I can put it on the agenda."

"Or do you want to learn from your grandfather?"

Shi Zhijiu resisted all over his body, "No! I don't want to learn from him."

When she thought that grandpa would let her draw until twelve o'clock, she felt terrified, and the pores all over her body would stand up.

"Don't forget the dinner on Saturday."
