"This is Nickey. This is an elder brother."

The first half of the sentence is to explain to him, and the second half is to Nick.

Nick pursed his lips, but didn't greet him immediately.He looked up at Huo Qiyu, with a crisp voice: "Who'shim, gadfather (1)?"

"Myfriend." Huo Qiyu rubbed Nick's head helplessly, "Can you adjust the attitude, my boy?"

Nick curled his lips and smiled at Zhao Wenyan. In all fairness, that smile was cute and sincere, but his previous attitude really made Zhao Wenyan not have much affection for this kid: "Hello, I'mNickey.What should I callyou? "

"Chao." Zhao Wenyan said flatly.

Shen Qiao just came back from the early work (1), and was startled when she saw a child in the living room: "Second brother, who is he?"

"He'smygadson, NIckey." Huo Qiyu said, "His parents entrusted him to me, and he will stay with us for a while."

Shen Qiao nodded, then stepped forward and squatted in front of Nick with great interest, with a sincere face: "Hello, Nickey. I'm Joe."

"Hello, Joe." Nick obviously smiled more sincerely to Shen Qiao.Huo Qiyu saw it, and reached out to pat Nick on the shoulder: "Go and play with Brother Joe, don't come into my room until I get up."

"OK." Nick said indifferently, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Qiao and walked towards his outstretched hand.Huo Qiyu's mental state was obviously worse. He turned his head to look at Zhao Wenyan and said, "If you don't want to accompany them, you can read a book. I'm sorry that I can't practice English with you today."

"Okay." Zhao Wenyan nodded, and a hint of curiosity suddenly surged in his heart, "Why do you have a godson?" He remembered that Huo Qiyu joined the party in China, and it was impossible for him to change his beliefs given his family background.

"I don't believe in Jesus, you can understand that he is my godson." Huo Qiyu said lightly, "I'm going to sleep, unless there is an explosion in Manhattan, don't call me."

Shen Qiao and Nick seemed to be chatting very well. The two of them had a great time in the garden. They returned to their room around noon. Shen Qiao washed his hands: "Second brother is still awake?"

"Not yet." Zhao Wenyan said, "Do you want to call him?"

"The godfather was very tired yesterday, don't disturb him." Nick said suddenly.

He opened his voice a little suddenly.Shen Qiao rubbed her chin and waved to Nick: "Okay, don't call him. Then what about our lunch?"

"I can't cook." Nick shook his head.

Although Shen Qiao and Zhao Wenyan would not really let him do it, but compared to asking straightforwardly, Nick's words are undoubtedly more flattering.Shen Qiao looked at Zhao Wenyan: "Me neither."

Zhao Wenyan was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Me too."

The three of them stared at each other, bewildered.

"Let's go to the kitchen and try to cook something simple." This time it was Shen Qiao who saved the embarrassment. He looked sad and determined, as if he was about to go to the execution ground, "Will your godfather usually cook for you?"

"meeting."

"Then you should be mentally prepared, it won't be very delicious." Shen Qiao shrugged and pulled Zhao Wenyan into the kitchen.

"Are you sure the eggs are fried like this?"

Zhao Wenyan looked at the olive oil that had half covered the pan, and the egg shell in Shen Qiao's hand.Shen Qiao crushed the egg with great difficulty just now, and was wiping her hands with a handkerchief: "I remember that you need to put oil in the fried eggs."

But with the amount of oil in the pot, Zhao Wenyan felt that fried eggs might eventually turn into fried eggs, but since he hadn't even eaten fried eggs a few times, he still chose to trust Shen Qiao after some hesitation.

The oil hadn't boiled for a long time, so Shen Qiao turned up the heat a bit, and stood by the side chatting with Zhao Wenyan about today's fun with Nick. "Do you like children very much?"

"Of course." Shen Qiao said without thinking, "Nick is very cute, just like Adam."

"Adam?"

"He is my nephew, my... brother's child." Shen Qiao said, "I haven't seen him for almost half a year."

Zhao Wenyan remembered what Shen Qiao mentioned on Christmas Eve the day before yesterday, and suddenly became curious about his family relationship: "Do you have many brothers and sisters in your family?"

"Two older brothers and one older sister." Shen Qiao said, beating her chest suddenly, "I want my older sister to give me a nephew and niece, but she won't even talk about love!"

...Is it really my brother who is so anxious to marry off my sister? "She will definitely get married, and you don't have to be in such a hurry."

"Maybe there will be such a day." Shen Qiao said bitterly, "But I have no hope that I will have a nephew within ten years."

...Does he need to remind Shen Qiao that her sister's child should be called a nephew in Chinese?

"Do you really want your sister to get married soon?" Zhao Wenyan suddenly remembered that Shen Qiao said that after his father died, he and his sister came to England, "What do your parents think?"

He originally wanted to ask Shen Qiao's mother what she thought, but when he said it, he realized that Shen Qiao might not have the memory of that night at all, so he changed his words.

"They all passed away." Shen Qiao glanced at him and said, "My mother had a difficult delivery when I was born, and my father fell ill when I was seven years old."

"I'm sorry." Zhao Wenyan was silent for a moment and said.

He didn't expect to poke Shen Qiao's scar.Parents are a lifelong shame to him, but not to others.

"It's nothing." Shen Qiao shook her head, "My sister told me that my father has always wanted to find my mother, and they are very happy now. My adoptive father treats me very well, and they don't need to worry about anything anymore." He seemed to smile lightly, as if really He didn't care, "Let me tell you about my sister, she is a big beauty, can you believe it?"

"I believe." Zhao Wenyan glanced at Shen Qiao, "You are so beautiful, from a genetic point of view, the possibility that your sister is not beautiful is very low."

"But we violated genetics." Shen Qiao seriously corrected, "My sister is much prettier than me."

Zhao Wenyan: "..."

With Shen Qiao's joke, the slight sadness just now disappeared.The two looked at each other, and were about to say something, when suddenly there was a sizzling sound behind them...

Zhao Wenyan decisively pushed Shen Qiao away and turned off the natural gas, grabbed the handle of the pot and poured the oil into the sink: "Go and call the second brother, he said Manhattan exploded!"

(1) "gadfather" means godfather. I think Wu Jing's godson used "gadfather" to address him in Wolf Warrior 2, and the translation is appropriated here.

(2) Domestic performance majors have to learn early skills to practice vocal skills, and I don’t know how to use it temporarily in foreign countries.
