Rebirth of Xia Ze

The Xia family's ancestral house is a standard old-fashioned building.The front is for entertaining guests, the middle is for people to live in, and the back is a separated garden.The weather at the end of April is approaching May, the whole garden is already colorful, and the fragrance of flowers blows through the breeze.The mid-afternoon sun hits the body through the treetops, making the person drowsy and warm.

With a book of poems covering his face, Xia Ze lay bored on a bench in the garden, basking in the sun while counting the time in his mind and waiting for his little aunt to arrive.

"What kind of thing is Shen Jiashi? His surname is not Xia, and grandma values ​​him more than us..."

Xia Kai's broken thoughts kept ringing in his ears, Xia Ze knew that he was talking to himself on purpose, but he was too lazy to talk to Xia Kai.Xia Kai said for a long time that he didn't see any reaction from Xia Ze, so he stretched out his hand angrily and twisted Xia Ze's arm fiercely.

Xia Ze endured and endured but still couldn't, he took the book away and stared at Xia Kai who was squatting in front of him. "Xia Kai, what are you doing?"

Xia Kai looked at Xia Ze confidently, "I'm suing."

Xia Ze: "..."

Xia Kai simply sat on the grass, raised his face and glared at Xia Ze, "I was bullied by Shen Jiashi, you are my brother, why don't you stand up for me?"

Xia Ze sneered, "At this moment, I remembered that I am your brother, you were so hard when you kicked me in the morning!"

There was no trace of guilt on Xia Kai's face, and he said righteously: "I am reminding you not to be rude in front of aunt."

Xia Ze snorted, glanced at Xia Kai with a half-smile, and covered his face with the book again.The Shen Jiashi that Xia Kai spoke of was Grandma Xia's grandnephew, the same age as Xia Ze, and now a freshman student in the Chinese Department of Haicheng University.Unlike Xia's family, Grandma Xia's natal family, Shen's family, has long been reduced to an ordinary family in Haicheng.Grandma Xia has always wanted to drag her natal family, but unfortunately, no one from the two generations of the Shen family can stand up.That is, the appearance of this generation of Shen Jiashi made Grandma Xia see the hope of revitalizing the Shen family, so she took him into the Xia family since she was a child and raised him by her side.This time Grandma Xia celebrated her birthday, and Shen Jiashi asked for leave early and rushed over.

What Xia Kai is thinking, how can Xia Ze not know?It was simply because Shen Jiashi had a special status in front of Grandma Xia, except for the eldest brother who could compete, everyone from Xia Yuan to Xia Kai was left behind.It's okay if it's just like this, but Shen Jiashi eats and wears Xia's family, and always looks down on them with a noble look.Grandma also praised Shen Jiashi for his character, and stepped on them from time to time to praise Shen Jiashi.I also know that Xia Kai probably got angry in front of his grandma again, he couldn't compete with Shen Jiashi, so he could only come here to push his notorious brother out.

Xia Ze has enough worries in his heart, and he is really not in the mood to act as a good brother who stands up for his younger brother.Besides, he was also shocked when he saw Shen Jiashi, he just hoped that he wouldn't see him for a few days, he didn't want to ask for trouble at all.

Xia Ze's ignorance made Xia Kai speechless for a long time, and he choked out a sentence, "Xia Ze, don't you dare to provoke Shen Jiashi?"

Xia Ze was so annoyed by him that he couldn't bear it, so he threw off the book and sat up.His expression was too irritable, and his face was dark and fierce.Xia Kai was startled and was about to say something when he suddenly looked behind Xia Ze in surprise.Xia Ze got up too hastily just now, he threw the book on his face casually, and just dropped it on Shen Jiashi who appeared out of nowhere.

Shen Jiashi is the same age as Xia Ze, but looks much more mature than Xia Ze.He stood there quietly, holding the book in his hand with a cherished face.Noticing Xia Ze's gaze, Shen Jiashi raised his hand and brushed the cover of the poetry anthology, as if sweeping away something dirty, and said indifferently: "This is the "Nanshan Collection" by Pu Baozi, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, published in the Republic of China. It is not as precious as the original "Nanshan Collection", but it is also very valuable for collection. Xia Ze, you should cherish it a little bit." (Pu Baozi and "Nanshan Collection" are purely my own nonsense, half-made)

Xia Ze screamed in his heart that it's unlucky, what he responded to was Shen Jiashi's tone.You can't tell what's wrong with him, but it just sounds uncomfortable.But he also knew that what Shen Jiashi said was right, and he regretted it the moment he threw the book out.Xia Ze took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, stood up and walked in front of Shen Jiashi, his tone softened rarely.

"I see."

Xia Kai and Shen Jiashi were taken aback at the same time, neither of them expected that Xia Ze would bow his head.Xia Kai curled his lips in disappointment, Shen Jiashi watched Xia Ze reach out to ask him for the book, tightened his fingers, and had no intention of returning "Nanshan Collection" to Xia Ze.

"Xia Ze, have you finished reading? I'm going back to the study later, I'll take it back for you."

Shen Jiashi's words made Xia Ze squint his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? I can't read my book. I want you, an outsider, to help me take it back?"

"That's not what I meant." Shen Jiashi defended.

Xia Ze was half a head taller than Shen Jiashi, looking down at him at this moment, with a sarcastic tone, "Then what do you mean?"

Xia Kai stood doglegged behind Xia Ze when Xia Ze changed his face, and stared at Shen Jiashi with his head raised.It's just that grandma has taken care of Shen Jiashi so much, let's not talk about the Xia family's things, no matter what, they all belong to the Xia family, so what's the matter with Shen Jiashi?Besides, he saw like a ghost that Xia Ze had admitted his mistake, who would Shen Jiashi show this to?

Facing the eyes of the two, Shen Jiashi's face became pale, and his fingers holding the book became even stronger.

"Hey, it's so lively! Ozawa, Xiaokai, what are you and Jiashi doing?"

Big brother Xia Ze's voice sounded behind several people, Shen Jiashi's eyes flickered, Xia Kai sighed in disappointment, that's the only way the big brother came.Xia Ze's elder brother is named Xia Bin, who is 28 years old this year. He is the eldest son of Xia Ze's second uncle and the first grandson of Grandma Xia.After graduating from university, Xia Bin has been doing business with his father. He is usually very busy, and he doesn't meet Xia Ze and Xia Kai often.If there was anyone in the Xia family who did not reject Shen Jiashi, it would be Xia Bin.Xia Yuan ignored Shen Jiashi, while Xia Ze and Xia Kai did not respond.

Xia Ze has a general feeling for Xia Bin, and has no idea of ​​letting things go.Anyway, he was reasonable, and he had always been a character who didn't suffer any disadvantages, so he didn't bother to say anything at the moment, so he stretched out his hand and took "Nanshan Collection" from Shen Jiashi's hand.Ignoring the expression on Shen Jiashi's face, Xia Ze casually turned around with "Nanshan Collection" between his fingers and was about to say hello to Xia Bin, but when he looked up and saw the people around Xia Bin, surprise burst out on his face.

"Little aunt."

Next to Xia Bin is Xia Ze's little aunt, Xia Sihui who just came back from abroad.Xia Sihui is 38 years old this year, and she was born when Grandma Xia was 40 years old.Because she has never been married, Xia Sihui looks much younger than her peers.Among all Xia Ze's elders, he likes Xia Sihui the most.

Xia Sihui walked up to Xia Ze with a smile, reached out and squeezed Xia Ze's smooth face. "As soon as I came back, I saw that you were bullying people." The tone was friendly, without any sense of blame.

Xia Sihui is petite, standing in front of Xia Ze who is nearly 1.8 meters tall is quite stressful.At first, she wanted to touch Xia Ze's head like she did when she was a child, but when she stretched out her hand, she realized that Xia Ze had grown a lot taller than when she was in the New Year, and she couldn't reach it, so she pinched it temporarily instead. Bundle.

Xia Ze laughed and didn't care about the accusation of his little aunt.

Xia Kai obediently nodded to Xia Sihui, and called softly, "Little aunt."

Xia Sihui reached out and touched his head, "Xiao Kai has also grown taller."

Xia Kai grinned, and said wittily: "I should go back to do my homework, little aunt let brother accompany you."

After seeing off Xia Kai, Xia Sihui held Xia Ze's arm affectionately, and said happily, "I haven't been back for a long time, Xiao Ze will go shopping with me?"

"it is good!"

After the two finished speaking, they nodded to Shen Jiashi and Xia Bin, as if nothing had happened before, they turned a corner and walked to the other side of the garden.Shen Jiashi looked calm, he had long been accustomed to Xia Sihui's ignorance.Watching the figures of the two disappear among the flowers, Shen Jiashi withdrew his gaze, glanced at Xia Bin indifferently, and said, "I'll go first."

Xia Bin laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch Shen Jiashi's chin and leaned over to kiss him.When Shen Jiashi frowned, Xia Bin left him and said casually, "Why did you provoke Xia Ze again?"

Shen Jiashi refused to speak, Xia Bin raised his eyebrows playfully, stretched out his hand to touch his waist ambiguously, and said in a low voice, "I'll go find you at night, be good. Xia Ze only goes back to the old house so many times a year, Don't provoke him, he's a little bastard, he doesn't care about it. There is Xia Kai at the side stirring up the flames, Xia Yuan is escorting him, and there is the Chi family behind him, and grandma can't do anything about him."

Shen Jiashi still had that indifferent expression, "I see."

Xia Bin was tickled by his expression, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss him again.Among the flowers, Xia Ze turned his head unconsciously. Seeing the two hugging each other vaguely, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Ozawa?"

Xia Sihui shook Xia Ze's arm, and teased: "You can get distracted when you're with little aunt, which little girl are you thinking about?"

Xia Ze smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say that he was too surprised to see Shen Jiashi and Xia Bin together.In his last life, he didn't know that his eldest brother and Shen Jiashi had this kind of relationship, and the two of them usually didn't seem to be connected, and he heard that his eldest brother's girlfriend changed every few months, how could it be?

Xia Sihui didn't know what Xia Ze was thinking, so she casually talked about the past, "Xiao Ze, you have grown up, some people don't care too much."

For Shen Jiashi, Xia Sihui's feelings are very weak.Sometimes she couldn't understand Grandma Xia's thoughts. From Xia Yuan to Xia Ze Xia Kai, who was not Grandma Xia's own grandson, what did Grandma Xia think, and valued an outsider more than these grandchildren.But when she thought about Grandma Xia's usual strength, she didn't know what to say because she had only dared to hide abroad for so many years because she hadn't been married.

The meaning in Xia Sihui's words made Xia Ze laugh.The little aunt probably thought that he was as jealous of Shen Jiashi's status in front of Grandma Xia as Xia Kai.If he was really jealous in the previous life, he couldn't figure out why grandma didn't like him.He kept holding his breath because of this matter, Shen Jiashi always looked down on others in front of him, and when the two sides met together, he often made trouble for Shen Jiashi.Until he was with Chi Yiheng, then he didn't even care about his father's attitude, so why would he care about an unknown Shen Jiashi.

Xia Sihui was really surprised by Xia Ze's behavior, she smiled in relief, this time she said sincerely: "Xiao Ze has really grown up."

Xia Ze: "Could it be that the first time little aunt said she was fooling me?"

Xia Sihui laughed loudly, and sighed after laughing, "It would be great if Sister Chi was still alive, she must be very happy to see you so handsome and sensible, Ozawa."

Xia Sihui knew Chi Xinyun before Chi Xinyun married Xia Zhicheng.In the circle of little girls, Chi Xinyun was an idol.She's pretty, has a good family background, has a good temper and talent, and she can't fault anything.When Xia Sihui found out that Xia Zhicheng was dating Chi Xinyun, she was even more excited than Xia Zhicheng.Until the two got married, Xia Sihui stubbornly called Chi Xinyun's sister, and secretly imitated Chi Xinyun in various details.It's just that no one thought that Chi Xinyun would die so early, Xia Sihui sighed again when she thought of this.

Xia Ze fell silent, perhaps because he had regarded Zhou Hanqing as his mother for a long time, and he didn't have a deep impression of Chi Xinyun.Even in the entire Xia family, except for the little aunt who kept mentioning his mother to him, everyone from grandma to father seemed to be trying to downplay the shadow of his mother.Xia Ze's real impression of his mother was with his uncle, who kept everything from his mother's birth to death.Because of those things, Xia Ze was able to intuitively recognize the image of his mother.

The simultaneous silence of the two made the road under their feet seem long.

Xia Ze suddenly said as he walked, "Little aunt, did father have a girlfriend before he fell in love with mother?"

This question was so abrupt that Xia Sihui was stunned for a moment. Surprise flashed across her face. She quickly laughed and asked, "Why did you ask this suddenly? I think about it, the third brother was really very upset back then." The little girl is welcome, but if you want to talk about your first love, it must be Sister Chi."

Xia Ze looked at Xia Sihui quietly, not missing the slightest bit of her reaction.He couldn't help but wonder in disappointment, is even his little aunt lying to him?

"Ozawa?" Xia Sihui looked at Xia Ze nervously.

Xia Ze looked calm, "Is father's first love called Han Ling?"
