A foreign city, dear you

"Really?" Cao Xueqian listened to Ye Lian's words and looked at the balcony and window opposite: "Is the house opposite sold? Where is the security window? Didn't you see it?"

"I'm not pretending," Ye Lian said.

"Why?" Cao Xueqian was surprised.

"I don't allow them to pretend." Ye Lian was quite calm now.

Cao Xueqian thought he heard wrongly and asked specifically: "You? You don't allow them to pretend?"

Ye Lian nodded.

Cao Xueqian's face was full of surprise: "Why don't you allow them to pretend? That is their freedom."

Ye Lian was unhappy. They waited all afternoon to hear his relief, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that it was their freedom.

Ye Lian pouted: "Their security windows are floating out, almost fifty centimeters wide. The outside of our balcony is already so narrow, and their windows protrude so much out of thin air. It makes me heartbroken every day. .”

"Oh," Cao Xueqian understood, and then asked: "Then they are so easy to talk to? If you don't let them, why don't you pretend?"

"It's hard to talk." Ye Lian muttered, "I even started arguing with them."

When Cao Xueqian heard this, he immediately looked Ye Lian up and down and asked with concern: "Are you okay? What's going on?"

That's not bad, after all, he still cares about me.

Ye Lian stopped pouting.

"Are you OK?"

No matter what happens to Ye Lian, what Cao Xueqian cares about most is "Are you okay?"

Seeing that Ye Lian was slow to answer, Cao Xueqian asked anxiously: "What's the situation? Tell me everything exactly."

Ye Lian then told Cao Xueqian the details of the installation of security windows across the street that afternoon.

She talked about the couple's indifference and resistance at the beginning; that she had no choice but to stretch a clothes pole to the balcony opposite; that the husband grabbed her clothes pole...

Ye Lian became a little excited again as she spoke.

Cao Xueqian became nervous as he listened.

"You're so reckless." Cao Xueqian said, "What if he does something to hurt you?"

"I'm not afraid of that, after all, he can't get through." Ye Lian said, "I'm just worried about what I will do if he really robs my clothes pole?"

"Can't he get through? You know how to use a clothes drying pole and a torch, but doesn't he know how to use other things?" Cao Xueqian thought Ye Lian was so naive.

Um, this... I really didn't think about it at the time.

Ye Lian was speechless.

"Why didn't you call me when something like this happened? Is it difficult to make a phone call?" Cao Xueqian still asked in a loud voice.

Ye Lian wasn't angry either. Normally Cao Xueqian would never be so loud to her. She knew that Cao Xueqian was nervous about her.

"What's the point of telling you? You can't come back." Ye Lian raised her lips again. Although she was not angry in her heart, she still wanted to take the opportunity to act coquettishly.

"Then you have to let me know. You, a woman, are having a conflict with others. What if something happens? Although I can't rush back right away, I will contact my friends nearby." Cao Xueqian's tone was still Blame, as if Ye Lian is still a very ignorant child.

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just wanted to stop them from installing security windows." Ye Lian defended herself.

"Are you as stupid as you?" Cao Xueqian still refused: "Is there something you don't want your husband to know first?"

This time Ye Lian was unhappy again.

Is that enough? Although I know you are nervous about me, you don't have to keep scolding me like this, right?

Ye Lian suddenly lost interest in talking.

What to say? The more you talk, the more you get punished.

As soon as Cao Xueqian saw that Ye Lian didn't speak and her face that had been pouting and acting like a baby just now dropped, he knew something was wrong and Ye Lian was angry.

"Okay, okay," Cao Xueqian immediately lost his smile and put his arm around Ye Lian's shoulders: "I won't say anything anymore. Just remember it from now on. If anything happens, let your husband know as soon as possible."

Ye Lian still had a cold face.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, let's go eat." Cao Xueqian said, and walked to the restaurant with Ye Lian in his arms.

Cao Xueqian graciously asked Ye Lian to sit down at the dining table, and then asked Lan Shan to come out to eat while loading the rice.

During the meal, Ye Lian was still bored and only occasionally said a few words to Lan Shan.

While eating, Cao Xueqian observed Ye Lian's face, wondering how to make her laugh.

"How come today's rice is cooked so well? Every grain is as transparent as a pearl." Cao Xueqian exaggeratedly praised.

Ye Lian still said nothing.

"This beef is really delicious, fragrant and tender." Cao Xueqian licked his lips, praised again, and kept adding vegetables to Ye Lian's bowl.

Ye Lian remained silent, just grabbing her rice.

Lanshan looked at his father, wondering what was wrong with him today? Are you in a good mood?

"Shanshan, do you know the meaning of 'One man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it'?" Cao Xueqian suddenly asked Lanshan.

"I know, it's from a poem by Li Bai, saying that the terrain is very dangerous." Lanshan replied.

Cao Xueqian raised his thumb: "Yes, the answer is correct. But now it has another meaning, which is to describe a person who is very brave. As long as he holds the pass, no one can break it."

Lanshan said "Oh" while eating his meal.

"Son, do you know? We also have a warrior in our family." Cao Xueqian said mysteriously.

Lanshan looked at his father: "Who?"

Cao Xueqian didn't answer Lan Shan, and continued: "Other warriors need a very powerful weapon, but she just relies on a clothes pole to make her opponent flee."

"Are you talking about mom?" Lanshan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Cao Xueqian said even more: "Do you know how amazing your mother is? She can really enter the kitchen, leave the hall, and go to the battlefield."

Lan Shan listened blankly and looked confused: "Going to the battlefield? What kind of battlefield?"

"A battlefield without gunpowder smoke." Cao Xueqian gave a dubious answer. He used the chopsticks in his hand as a clothes drying pole and pretended to explain: "Your mother's clothes drying pole is so amazing. It's so amazing. It lifts up and down like this. , knocking left and swiping right like this will scare the opponent into surrendering!"

While Cao Xueqian was talking, he worked hard to make various corresponding movements.

……

This job of coaxing people is not easy either.

Cao Xueqian tried his best.

The movements should be in place, with a pair of chopsticks moving up, down, left, and right in a realistic manner;

The expression should be in place, with wide eyes and a fierce glare.

Cao Xueqian secretly glanced at Ye Lian.

Is it time to laugh? Is it time to laugh?
