The two of them, one is a mature man, the other is a mature woman, and both are so good-looking. Standing together, they are a perfect match.
And standing next to them, I felt like a light bulb.
"What do you want to talk about? Let's go inside and talk. Don't stand at the door." Tang Yu said.
"Yes. Let's go visit grandpa first." Li Hanyan held Song Zhixing's hand, "Let's go, Xingxing."
Song Zhixing followed Li Hanyan inside. Tang Yu followed beside them.
Throughout the whole process, Tang Yu did not look at Song Zhixing again, but just chatted with Li Hanyan about some work matters. Song Zhixing did not understand those things, so naturally she could not get a word in. She felt more and more that she was redundant walking beside them. She subconsciously took a few quick steps and walked in front of them. She felt a little depressed.
The three of them entered one after another. Except for the old man, everyone in the hall stood up. Even Tang Yi, who was always arrogant and didn't take people seriously, stood up and greeted him: "Second brother."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, as if to agree, and greeted the old man. Before Song Zhixing had time to call for help, he was already called over by Old Man Tang like a treasure.
Li Hanyan felt relieved to see that the Tang family liked Zhixing. Over the years, the Tang family would definitely not let her suffer any grievances.
"Grandpa, this is something my dad asked me to bring to you to nourish your body. Ask the kitchen to make it for you to drink later." Li Hanyan handed the gift to the old man.
"We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Next time you and Tang Yu come to eat, just come alone, and don't bring anything." The old man smiled and asked the servants to put the things into the kitchen. He also liked Li Hanyan very much, "Come on, sit down first, don't stand."
—
The family is very lively.
When the men were together, they would just talk about work. The girls found it boring to listen to them and went about their own business.
Li Hanyan and Song Zhixing were in the backyard. Song Zhixing was swinging on the swing, and Li Hanyan was sitting on the swing next to her. She didn't move, just looked at her and reminded her: "Don't swing too high, in case you fall down."
"No." Song Zhixing swung down, and Li Hanyan reached out and grabbed the rope to make her stop. "I heard that these two swings were made by Grandpa Tang specially for you?"
"Yes. When I was a kid and lived with my great grandfather, he made it himself."
"Fortunately, you have lived well in the Tang family these years." Li Hanyan looked at her clean little face, "Xingxing, you are about to take the college entrance examination. Have you ever thought about going to college with your grandfather?"
In fact, Song Zhixing had thought about this idea countless times, especially after his second uncle came back recently.
So, when she heard Li Hanyan's words, she was about to nod immediately. However, Tang Yu's face suddenly appeared in her mind, and the desire to nod suddenly disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
Li Hanyan noticed her hesitation. She smiled and said, "Why, you've been with your second uncle for so long, and now you're reluctant to leave?"
"No! Auntie, how could I miss my second uncle?" Li Hanyan said jokingly, but Song Zhixing seemed to be stepped on the tail. He immediately shook his head and waved his hands to deny it, his face flushed with anxiety, "I really don't! If I can't bear to leave, it's the friends I made here."
Li Hanyan looked at her eager reaction with some amusement, "If your second uncle knew that you were so heartless and didn't feel sorry for him at all, he would be heartbroken."
"It's not like he doesn't know." Song Zhixing's fingers fiddled with the rope of the swing, as if to convince her aunt. She continued, "He's so fierce, he controls me so strictly, and he always... bullies me. Anyway, I actually wanted to leave a long time ago."
"Tang Yu." As soon as she finished speaking, Li Hanyan suddenly called out and stood up from the swing.
Song Zhixing was startled. She subconsciously looked up and saw Tang Yu standing at the door of the backyard. It was obvious that he had heard what she had just said. The look he cast on her was colder than the dusk, even revealing a bit of indifference.
She felt a sudden prick in her heart for no reason and gripped the swing rope tightly.
Li Hanyan also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. She glanced at Song Zhixing, then looked at Tang Yu, "Xingxing is still young. Don't take what she just said to heart. She didn't mean that."
"Really?" Tang Yu sneered. He replied to Li Hanyan, but his eyes were always fixed on Song Zhixing, like a cold and sharp sword.
Song Zhixing was stared at so hard that she couldn't speak. Li Hanyan squeezed her hand and said, "Xingxing, don't be silent."
She pursed her lips, glanced at Tang Yu, then turned away and whispered, "Second Uncle has always known what I'm thinking. I've told him..."
"..." Li Hanyan was speechless. This little girl!
Tang Yu said nothing, just stared at Song Zhixing solemnly, turned around and left, leaving behind an extremely cold back.
Li Hanyan sighed, "Your second uncle is angry. If it were me, I would be very angry too."
Song Zhixing bit her lip. Actually, she wanted to explain just now, but there were some things she couldn't say in front of him. Her eyes were still on the back, and she didn't look away until she could no longer see him. She felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Aunt." She leaned her little head on the swing rope and called her weakly.
"Um?"
"Will you marry your second uncle?"
"Why do you ask this?" When this was mentioned, Li Hanyan's smile became much more gentle.
Song Zhixing understood at a glance that the aunt liked the second uncle. What about the second uncle? He should... like the aunt too, after all, she was his fiancée. Moreover, the aunt was so beautiful, so perfect...
"I'm just asking."
"To be honest, I came to Youcheng this time for you and your uncle." Li Hanyan replied to Song Zhixing calmly, but there was a hint of disappointment in her tone. "However, you also know your uncle's character. It's hard for me to figure out what he is thinking. When I came back this time, he hadn't mentioned marriage to me yet."
"By the way, Xingxing, you've been with him for so many years, you know him best. Does he already have someone he likes? Or does he have a girlfriend now?"
"Aunt, why do you feel that way?"
"It's a woman's intuition. And..." Li Hanyan's eyes were a little sad, "On the way here just now, I actually saw some old injuries on his arms and neck. If I'm not mistaken, they should be scratches left by a woman."
Song Zhixing's breathing tightened, and his heart was beating fast. For a moment, he felt extremely guilty.
