It was clear that the sky was still clear during the day, but at night it suddenly began to rain without warning.
He Qingwan pushed open the shop door and went out to have a look. It was not lightly raining, and the November cold wind mixed with rain fell, making it bitingly cold.
She looked at her watch, Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School was about to leave school, and now it was not like summer, even if it rained a little, it would not be a problem. In this kind of weather, if you come back from school, you might catch a cold.
He Qingwan couldn't sit still, there were two girls in the store, still eating desserts, and worried about looking outside, the two girls didn't bring umbrellas, and were complaining about the spooky weather.
The two were complaining when they heard the gentle voice of the proprietress saying: "Is your home far away? I have umbrellas in my store, but I can only give you one. If you don't mind, use it."
The two girls froze for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then what are you going to do, lady boss?"
He Qingwan smiled and said: "It's okay, there is still one in the store, I could have given it to you all, but my daughter is about to leave school, I have to pick her up..."
When the girls heard this, they felt even more embarrassed, and wanted to refuse, but seeing the rain was getting heavier and it was getting late, they had no choice but to thank He Qingwan all the time, saying that the two families were not far away, and one hand would be enough Yes, I will send it back to her tomorrow.
He Qingwan smiled and took out two umbrellas and gave one to the two girls. The girls were embarrassed and helped her tidy up the shop before leaving with one umbrella.
He Qingwan closed the store and didn't go directly to the school. The school was not only a child of Tiantian, but also Kaiyan and Xiaoxue. Kaiyan definitely didn't have an umbrella. I don't know if Brother Wang would think of giving an umbrella to Xiaoxue.
She went home, and there were two umbrellas at home, which should be just enough.
He Qingwan hurried home holding an umbrella, just took out the key, and before she had time to open the door, the door opened by itself.
Xi Yun was standing behind the door with two umbrellas, saw He Qingwan, and said repeatedly: "Auntie, it's raining outside. Are we going to pick up my sister?"
He Qingwan: "I'll pick up Tiantian, you wait at home."
Since Xi Zhiqiang was detained, the child has been living with Xi Yun's mother because he has not been in contact with Xi Yun's mother for a while.
Xi Yun: "I'll go too."
He Qingwan: "No, it's too cold outside. You can boil hot water at home and drink it when auntie and sister come back, otherwise we might catch a cold."
The kettle at home uses electricity, which is simple and safe, and children can also use it.
When Xi Yun heard that he could help, he didn't bother to go, nodded quickly, and ran to the kitchen to boil water.
He Qingwan took two umbrellas and propped up another one herself, and hurried to school.
When I went downstairs, I happened to bump into Wang Haoxue's father, who was also holding an umbrella in his hand. Obviously, like her, he also went to pick up the child.
It just so happens, let's go together.
Today is the first day of filming. The purpose is just to adjust the deployment of personnel and the operation of the equipment. The task is not heavy, and the work has ended early.
But Director Ji didn't take a break, and after the filming was over, he was dragged to dinner by the local government officials.
Even though Ji Shaoheng disdains these unspoken rules in the officialdom, sometimes he has to do as the Romans do, otherwise others will inevitably think too much, thinking that he is here to rectify the local officialdom and cause unnecessary trouble.
Besides, he just wanted to clean up the officialdom, and that wasn't the job of the public security department. It had to be done by the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.
However, Ji Shaoheng didn't feel wronged himself, he left the stage early, and others knew his temper, so it was already a great face to be able to come, and no one dared to keep him.
When Ji Shaoheng went out, a local policeman rushed over with an umbrella and wanted to send him back.
Ji Shaoheng took off his overly formal uniform and held it in his hand, took the umbrella by himself, and asked, "How can I get to the sweet summer dessert shop?"
The police looked at him instantly with admiration, and asked, "Are you going to meet the criminals?"
Ji Shaoheng looked like a man, and he could tell what the little comrade was thinking at a glance, and nodded very naturally: "Well, there are still some details that need to be asked."
The little policeman looked at him even hotter, and hurriedly and enthusiastically expressed that he would take him there himself.
Ji Shaoheng stopped the other party, "You tell me the location, and I can go there by myself."
Although disappointed, the leader's orders had to be obeyed, so the police had to tell him the exact location and how to get there.
Ji Shaoheng nodded, said it silently in his heart, thanked the little comrade, and left with an umbrella.
The policeman who stayed in place was drenched in the rain, looking at Ji Shaoheng Wei'an's back with admiration, and made up his mind to learn from the leader and be a good policeman who loves his job and works hard.
Director Ji, who had fooled the little policeman, didn't feel guilty at all. He happily held an umbrella, hoping that there would be no umbrella in the dessert shop. He happened to have an umbrella in his hand, so he offered to send the beauty home by the way. Walking in the lingering autumn rainy night, the atmosphere is ambiguous, lingering, dry firewood...
Uh, let’s forget about this for now, although he thought about it, but the beauty might not agree...
emmmmm... It would be great if he could send her to the door of his house. If he's lucky, he might even go in for a cup of hot water...
My brain was so high that I actually saw the beauty I was dreaming of. She held an umbrella and walked in the night with continuous autumn rain. The hem of the windbreaker swayed slightly...
Everything was as beautiful as he imagined.
but!
Why is there a male creature beside her? ? ? ! ! !
Black air swirled around Ji Shaoheng for an instant, and he stood by the side of the road watching the two approaching while talking intimately.
"Following your Tiantian, Xiaoxue has become a lot more sensible during this time, and she also improved in the last exam. This child, Tiantian is regarded as an idol in life." Brother Wang said with a smile.
He Qingwan smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said modestly: "It's Xiaoxue who is sensible, and it just happened that the two of them just matched each other's appetites. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you formally for the matter of Lin Xiuping last time, or else Xiaoxue suddenly If you rush out, Tiantian will probably be bullied by that woman again..."
"Thank you? Haha, it's mainly because Tiantian gave Xiaoxue the bracelet for her meritorious service."
It was this bracelet that made Brother Wang completely understand that there was no possibility between himself and He Qingwan.
A gift that his daughter gave to a friend later almost equaled his income for several years, and the family conditions were too poor.
"Where? Or..."
In the middle of He Qingwan's words, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and the umbrella in He Qingwan's hand was blown upside down. She was still holding two umbrellas in her hand, but she couldn't hold them firmly, and was blown out by the wind, falling to a distant place. on the ground.
Uncle Wang ran out quickly and said, "I'll go pick it up for you."
He Qingwan was shaken by the rain, nodded repeatedly, and thanked him.
She lowered her head and was about to open an umbrella she was holding when the rain that fell on her body suddenly stopped, and even the biting cold wind seemed to be gone.
He Qingwan turned her head in surprise, and Ji Shaoheng was standing behind her holding an umbrella, looking at herself with a smile.
He said: "Last time you gave me an umbrella, this time you finally let me return it."
He Qingwan stroked the wet hair sticking to her face, and smiled: "Why is Director Ji here? Isn't he busy filming?"
Ji Shaoheng: "Today's mission is over. I haven't been here before. When I went out for a walk, I just remembered that Tiantian had mentioned your dessert shop. I stopped by to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you on the road."
When He Qingwan heard that Ji Shaoheng came to look at her store, she felt a little guilty and said, "I'm sorry, it's really unfortunate, it just rained today, Tiantian is about to leave school, she didn't bring an umbrella, I'm going to pick her up The store is closed.... Wait for every day, if Director Ji is free, I will be closed tomorrow, and I will make whatever you want to eat."
Ji Shaoheng smiled: "Don't, you can't delay your business because of me. I'll come here when I'm free."
He Qingwan: "Okay, tell me in advance if you come."
Brother Wang managed to catch up with the umbrella. When he picked it up, he saw that several ribs were broken, and he couldn't use it when he picked it up.
He turned around regretfully, and was about to tell He Qingwan, when he saw a tall man standing beside her with an umbrella.
Most of the big black umbrella was above He Qingwan, and the man's clothes had already been soaked in the rain, and he stood at the top of the wind, which just happened to block all the wind and rain for her.
Brother Wang looked at the broken umbrella in his hand that was already covered with sewage, and sighed silently, feeling a little lost and relieved for a moment.
He stood for a while and walked over. The two looked over together. He raised the broken umbrella and said with a smile: "It seems that it can't be used. If I had known it, I wouldn't have picked it up."
He Qingwan stretched out her hand, just as she was about to thank her, Ji Shaoheng passed her and took the umbrella handed over by the man, and said, "Thank you, are you also going to pick up the students from school?"
Brother Wang said: "Yes, my daughter and Tiantian are good friends."
Ji Shaoheng smiled: "That's a coincidence, let's go together."
Brother Wang: "Oh, good... good."
He Qingwan blinked her eyes, a little confused, why did she go to pick up the child together
It seems a little weird.
But she was soft-tempered, even if she felt a little weird, she didn't refute Ji Shaoheng, and silently opened another umbrella, and the three of them went to school together.
In the Los Angeles guest house, the boy was feeding other fish, and Nemo kept walking around the feeder, domineeringly occupying the place.
Dududu, tapping the glass with his fingers, the boy said, "Nemo, you've eaten a lot."
Nemo didn't care, he went after the other fish.
The teenager ignored it and went to feed his precious octopus instead.
In order for the creatures in the tank to adapt to the long-distance travel, the teenagers have been hungry for a long time. Today, they rested all day, and finally recovered, and they can start feeding.
Halfway through the feeding, he suddenly found that the glass was covered with raindrops. He opened the window and looked at it for a while, then ran out of the room quickly and asked the front desk if there was an umbrella.
No one dared to neglect the distinguished guests from the imperial capital, the staff quickly found umbrellas for him, and the boy took two and ran out.
He ran very fast, and when he arrived at the school gate, he had not finished school, so he held up an umbrella and waited beside him.
Soon, the school gate was filled with people one after another, all parents who came to pick up their children.
Umbrellas are like small mushrooms, blooming quietly in the rainy night, more and more, more and more dense.
The teenager stared at the school gate with focused eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Finally, when the school bell rang, he lifted his spirits and clenched the other umbrella in his hand.
The students poured out like a tide, and when they found someone to pick them up, the crowd began to disperse. Those who were not picked up could only squeeze into the umbrellas of other students and walk with others.
The young man carefully watched the crowd coming out, afraid that he would miss the opportunity, so Su Tian walked out together with Wang Haoxue and Liu Kaiyan amidst his long-awaited calls.
It was raining, and the three of them were covered by books. The poor boy held the umbrella tightly and was about to go up, when he saw Su Tian suddenly laughed, and then pulled the two of them and ran in the same direction.
Boy: "...!"
He turned his head and saw that there were two men and a woman standing there, a man he didn't know, one was Su Tian's mother, and the other was actually Ji Shaoheng.
Boy: "..."
He hurriedly wanted to pass, but there were people and umbrellas all around him, so he couldn't squeeze through at all. He could only watch helplessly as a group of people walked away holding umbrellas, chatting and laughing.
He paused and tried to push his way through the crowd, but they were already gone.
The boy quickly followed.
What Ji Shaoheng originally thought was that He Qingwan's two umbrellas were both small umbrellas that could only cover one person. Su Tian and Liu Kaiyan would each have one of these two umbrellas, and his own was a big black umbrella that could cover two people. Wouldn't it be a pleasure for him and He Qingwan to support each other.
It's a pity that Su Tian looked at it with a smile in his eyes, and he silently put away all his fancy intestines, and handed his big black umbrella to Su Tian very wisely.
"Tiantian, you and your mother can support this. This umbrella is big enough to cover both of you."
Su Tian smiled: "Okay, thank you Uncle Ji."
Ji Shaoheng laughed with tears in his heart: "No thanks, no thanks, ha ha."
Thus, the reality became that He Qingwan and Su Tian shared an umbrella, and he and Liu Kaiyan each had a small umbrella.
Wang Haoxue was picked up by his father, and the two consciously walked a few steps behind.
Su Tian: "Uncle Ji, how long are you going to stay in Los Angeles?"
Ji Shaoheng: "The tentative plan is half a month."
Su Tian: "You are the police chief, aren't you very busy? Can you stay outside for so long?"
Ji Shaoheng was serious: "There is nothing important in the bureau recently. I have been busy for a year, so I should take this opportunity to give myself a vacation."
Su Tian smiled: "Uncle Ji is so good at enjoying life."
Ji Shaoheng took a look at He Qingwan, conveyed vaguely that he was still single, and said, "I still want to enjoy it with my family, but unfortunately I don't have a chance."
He Qingwan glanced at him in surprise, and asked, "Is Director Ji still married?"
Seeing that the topic was finally on the right track, Su Tian exited temporarily satisfied, gave the performance stage to Ji Shaoheng, and talked to Liu Kaiyan about tomorrow's class schedule.
A man with ulterior motives and an ignorant woman started in-depth exchanges under their respective umbrellas.
Ji Shaoheng laughed at himself: "I was busy with work in the early years, and you also know the nature of my work. I didn't want to delay other girls, so I never considered this issue. It has been delayed until now."
He Qingwan: "It's okay, fate will always come. Sometimes it's not a good thing to get married early. What if you meet the right person after marriage?"
These words were naturally talking about her and Su Yuhe, but when she said it now, there was no turmoil in her heart, only a touch of boredom and vicissitudes.
Ji Shaoheng looked at her deeply, and said: "You are right. The biggest advantage of procrastinating until now is that I am finally able to distinguish whether the other party is the right person, or because of problems such as should, loneliness, reality... and so on. compromise."
He Qingwan raised her eyes and smiled, and said, "Director Ji is really a responsible person."
Ji Shaoheng looked at her and said, "I'm just kidding, it's just pretty words, don't take it seriously."
…
Wang Haoxue was talking with her father, Balabala, when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the boy she saw at the fried skewer shop today.
The boy was holding an umbrella and holding an umbrella in his hand. He walked very fast, as if he was heading straight for Su Tian and the others.
Wang Haoxue couldn't help but let out an "ah".
When Ji Shaoheng heard the movement behind him, his intuition made him look back, and then immediately blocked the sight of He Qingwan who was also looking back.
This little brat, what is he doing out of the guest house to feed the fish
He just got a little closer to He Qingwan, when the little bastard suddenly appeared, didn't he tear him down
Although the existence of the little bastard will definitely not be concealed in the future, at least he must wait until he has gained some favorability in He Qingwan's heart before exposing him, otherwise he will blow it up on the spot.
He has been a bachelor for more than thirty years, and he has finally fallen in love with a woman, and he absolutely cannot tolerate any mistakes.
I can only wrong the little brat for a while.
In the future, when he feeds the fish, he will also feed him the sea anemone and the clown, as well as the deadly poisonous octopus as compensation.
He Qingwan didn't see anything wrong, so she looked away and saw Ji Shaoheng taking out his phone and sending text messages.
She didn't speak again.
Ji Shaoheng quickly took back the phone after sending the text message.
It's a pity that the topic just now has been cut off, and it will inevitably be a bit blunt to pick it up again, so I have no choice but to give up.
At the same time, the cell phone on the boy's body also rang, and when he opened it, it was a text message from Ji Shaoheng:
[Don't come here, just pretend you don't know me.]
Boy: "..."
Very good, I will end the relationship with him when I go back.
The boy didn't come forward, he knew why Ji Shaoheng didn't let him go, and it was because of this that he didn't approach Su Tian through Ji Shaoheng in the first place
—He is still on Ji Shaoheng's household registration book, and Su Tian and He Qingwan are biological mother and daughter, so their identities are a bit embarrassing.
The young man pursed his lips and silently followed behind the crowd.
He told himself, just wait a little longer, and he can move out of his household registration when he becomes an adult, and then he will have nothing to do with Ji Shaoheng, and he can do whatever he wants.
Without Ji Shaoheng, he could find a chance to talk to Su Tian himself.
If it wasn't for the fact that Ji Shaoheng had brought him so many takeaways...
When he got downstairs, Ji Shaoheng returned the umbrella to He Qingwan and was about to say goodbye, but when he turned around, he showed a large wet back.
"Director Ji. Wait..." He Qingwan looked at his back and said, "If you don't mind, come up and have a cup of tea."
It's so cold, what if I catch a cold when I go back like this? After all, people send themselves to the door.
The boy who was waiting to go back with Ji Shaoheng watched Ji Shaoheng follow him upstairs.
Boy: "..."
