[Rebirth] Back to the big tree to enjoy the shade

Seeing Bian Hongxiu's mother and daughter leave, Ling Yun and Li Haoping heaved a sigh of relief, which made Tang Xiu really laugh.

"My mother is also kind, Haoping, why are you so nervous?" Tang Xiushi teased Li Haoping, while pouring Ling Yun a glass of warm water.

Ling Yun picked up the water glass to moisten his throat, and watched Li Haoping and Tang Xiushi chatting with a relaxed smile on his face and eyes.This visit to the Tang family was much better than expected.He also guessed why the eldest wife of the Tang family was so enthusiastic about Li Haoping. She mistakenly thought that Tang Xiu really liked Li Haoping. He never showed any face to Li Haoping.In Ling Yun's heart, a faint envy could not help but arise.

Tang Xiushi noticed that Ling Yun was in a good mood, and asked with a smile. "Xiao Yun, you really don't have any taboos? It's too late to say it now."

"Fifth Brother, I'm different from you. I've never been picky about my food!" Ling Yun emphasized with his head tilted, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a rare provocative smile.

Correspondence with Tang Xiushi, from the general talk about medical study and training at the beginning, to the trivial details of life later, he knows that this tall and powerful man in front of him is still picky about fish, especially sea fish. , don't stick at all.It is said that it was because one time when I went to the beach for training, I was too gluttonous and got injured.

This reason once made Ling Yun laugh so much that he almost knocked over the cup on the day he received the letter.Thinking about it later, this reason is probably half-truth and half-false. It should not be that I ate too much during training, but that I got injured when I was accidentally stranded on a small island by the sea.But this also made Ling Yun extremely curious about Tang Xiushi's past.

The two talked about picky eaters and preferences for a long time. Ling Yun kept emphasizing that he didn't have any preferences. Unfortunately, Tang Xiushi was uncharacteristically naive and insisted on saying that Ziwu was ugly. In the last letter in 03, Tang Xiushi was still thinking about with this matter.Speaking of this matter now, it's like the two years that were missing have passed in a flash, and they have never been separated.

Tang Xiushi's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the sweet desserts and fruit platters beside the coffee table. He picked up a small plate and picked some sliced ​​melons, placed them lightly in front of Ling Yun, and placed the other fruits Pushed to Li Haoping.

"Yes, you are not picky eaters." Tang Xiushi smiled kindly, "Then eat some fruit before meals." , It's too late to try hard to please, so how can there be such an opportunity.

It was the first time for Ling Yun to see Tang Xiushi's life-oriented side. Moreover, with so many kinds of fruits, he singled out his favorite melon, Tang Xiushi really had confidence in his own judgment.Ling Yun lowered his head, thinking of being protected by his senior brother and Tang Xiushi in the club last time, this feeling of being taken care of by others, ignoring the awkwardness and embarrassment in it, it's actually not bad.He smiled at Li Haoping and Tang Xiushi, and concentrated on picking up the fork.

Li Haoping looked at the colorful fruit platter in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.Of course he remembered the reason why Tang Xiuwen cooperated with him. After so many years of inactivity, he thought it was over.But looking at the current situation, Tang Xiushi's thoughtfulness and concern for Ling Yun, even if he is blind, he knows it.Li Haoping looked at Ling Yun who was unaware, why did he feel so unwilling to let his junior brother be snatched away by the big bad wolf.

Of course, there are people who think the same as him. Tang Xiuwen, who was playing with his nephew and niece at the door, looked at Tang Xiushi, who was obviously abnormal these two days, and Ling Yun, who was smiling happily beside him, finally affirmed the previous Guess, both joy and worry, a good-looking handsome face is a little distorted.

"Xiuwen, quickly get out of the way with the two younger ones, blocking your aunt's way!" Tang Yunyu, the third miss of the Tang family, was blocked at the door and shouted dissatisfied.

Tang Xiuwen turned sideways quickly, and his aunt and Xia Lan were standing behind him. He greeted with a smile, but looked at Xia Lan with more appreciative eyes.The third aunt came here to agree, but what's the matter with Xia Lan?

Fifth cousin was very concerned about Ling Yun's accidentally lost letter.After all, even if it is an ordinary letter, as long as it is sent to him, there is no reason not to take it seriously.However, as a result of the investigation, someone actually erased all the records, which cannot be explained by Liu Lifeng's simple hiding of the letters.

Of course Tang Xiuwen knew this, and to cover up the fact that his cousin's army had such power, it could only be the Tang family who participated in it.So the first object of their suspicion was Xia Lan who could befriend Liu Lifeng's cousin Wan Shihui and win over the Tang family.

"Sister Xia is here, isn't she uncomfortable? Come in!" Tang Xiuwen greeted with a smile.

Xia Lan blushed, Tang Xiuwen was only a few months younger than her, never called her sister, and still said that in such a tone, Xia Lan shook her head dully. "Why, how come, I, I just..."

Before she finished speaking hesitantly, Tang Yunyu glared at Tang Xiuwen impatiently. "What nonsense, Xia Lan just kindly accompanied me here. If you ask me, it's not like our house doesn't have regular inspections. As for being so grand, I thought something happened!"

Tang Yunyu complained, feeling dissatisfied with this nephew, the older he gets, the more capricious he becomes, even if he doesn't want to see Xia Lan, he should pay attention to her, otherwise Xia Lan will go back and cry, and it won't be her who is unlucky.Although she had made Tang Xiushi's attitude clear a long time ago, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are still determined to identify with the Tang family.If she had known she wouldn't have been in this troubled water, Tang Yunyu's intestines would turn green with regret when she thought of this.

Tang Xiuwen knew that this aunt had a hot temper, and he really had no good intentions, so he quickly apologized with a playful smile.

"Hey, that's Ling Yun?" Xia Lan suddenly let out a low cry as she walked, her water-like eyes were unexpectedly filled with surprise and panic.

Tang Xiuwen raised his eyebrows calmly, looked at Ling Yun who was sitting next to Tang Xiushi with a smile on his face, and looked at Xia Lan with admiration. "He's Li Haoping's younger brother. We came here together this time. Even though he hasn't graduated from graduate school, his level of refining medicine is even better than that of Brother Li. But Sister Xia has a really good memory. You and Ling Yun only met once." , or four or five years ago?"

"Yes, yes." Xia Lan smiled sheepishly, noticing that Tang Xiushi and Ling Yun had already looked over, clutching the handbag nervously.

Tang Xiuwen saw it, and turned to Tang Yunyu. "Auntie, let me accompany Sister Xia to find Fifth Brother and the others. My mother and uncle are showing off their skills in the kitchen. Yanshuang said they want to help. I think it's trouble. Auntie, you have the best skills. I don't know if I have any today." Delicious food?"

Tang Yunyu's temper came and went quickly, and his nephew begged again, and nodded with a smile. "Stinky boy, look at my aunt showing you something today."

Tang Xiuwen watched his aunt leaving in a hurry, with an exaggerated happy smile on his face. After asking his nephew and niece to play with his grandfather, he took Xia Lan to the corner of the living room where Tang Xiushi and the others were staying.

"Fifth Brother, Sister Xia is here! Hey, Ling Yun, I just praised you in front of beautiful women." Tang Xiuwen said carelessly, the frivolity in his tone aroused Tang Xiushi's glare.

Ling Yun got up quickly when he heard the words, and looked at Tang Xiushi curiously.In Xia Lan's eyes, her love for Tang Xiushi was too obvious. She really didn't expect such a gentle woman to be so persistent.But what Tang Xiuwen said was too awkward, what are you doing praising him for?

Li Haoping saw a beautiful woman with a very ancient charm, and heard Tang Xiuwen say this, looked at Ling Yun, and found that the younger brother's cheeks were already flushed, and couldn't help laughing. "I did a great job today. If you don't praise me, how can you praise my junior brother?"

Tang Xiuwen pushed Li Haoping unceremoniously, motioned him to sit over, and then left Bian Hongxiu's previous seat to Xia Lan.Become face to face with Ling Yun and Tang Xiushi.

"I said that the pills made by Ling Yun are much better than yours." Tang Xiuwen mocked Li Haoping, and then explained to Xia Lan thoughtfully. "If Ling Yun couldn't be contacted suddenly two years ago, without those pills and medicinal wine, Fifth Brother and I might not have discovered it."

"Ah, that letter..." Xia Lan blurted out, covered her mouth in a hurry, looked at Tang Xiushi's sharp eyes, and her face turned pale.

Ling Yun was originally surprised by Tang Xiuwen's words. Seeing Xia Lan's panic-stricken appearance, no matter how stupid he was, he could see the problem. Although Li Haoping didn't know what was going on, Tang Xiushi's obvious anger was still noticeable, and he restrained himself on the smile.For a moment, the eyes of the four big men fell on Xia Lan, causing Xia Lan, who was already guilty and panicked, to turn pale and her body began to crumble.

"Xiuwen, come here!" Tang Hongsheng's voice was like a spell, breaking the stalemate in front of him.Seeing that Mr. Tang was surrounded by several great-grandchildren, Tang Xiuwen took advantage of the situation to get out of embarrassment.

Xia Lan raised her head and looked straight at Tang Xiushi, her beautiful red eyes clearly shining with reckless determination for the first time.

"Xiushi, let's talk alone."

Tang Xiushi nodded sullenly.

"Xiaoyun, Haoping, I'll come whenever I go, and Xiuwen will be here in a while." He confessed, regardless of whether Xia Lan was following, strode out of the living room, and came to an exquisite gazebo outside the main courtyard.

Looking at Tang Xiushi with a stern expression, Xia Lan recalled the gentle expression he had shone when facing Ling Yun before, and blurted out accusations. "You're not fair!"

"Didn't you want to talk about the letter?" Tang Xiushi said in a deep voice unmoved.

"You know everything, what can I explain." Xia Lan changed her previous meekness, raised her head high, looked at the man she had been infatuated with for nearly ten years, and complained almost tearfully: "When I was 20 years old Nian confessed to you, seven years, why didn't you give me a chance? Even if you had Jiyu back then, why didn't you want to in the past few years when you broke up? I can just have a marriage and let me stay with you By your side, a child can make Aunt Bian stop worrying about you, isn't that okay?"

"Impossible things, there's no need to waste time." Tang Xiushi frowned, and the eyes he looked at Xia Lan were not moved at all, but showed obvious repulsion and firm rejection. "Marriage and children have never been tools."

"It's because you never gave me a chance, how do you know it's impossible?" Facing Tang Xiushi's repeated vetoes, Xia Lan was completely desperate, her charming face was full of doubts and unwillingness. "Is it possible for you and that Ling Yun? He gave up completely without waiting for your reply. Why, you are willing to let such a man who has met several times into your life, but you are not willing to give Do I pay any attention?"

"Is that why you separated me from Ling Yun?" Tang Xiushi frowned. Xia Lan and Third Aunt should not have the ability to do this. Even if Liu Lifeng had the chance, it is reasonable to say that there is no need for it, but look. From Xia Lan's appearance, she probably didn't know the details.

"No separation, are you waiting for Ling Yun to completely occupy your full attention? In fact, I guessed right, you really fell in love with that Ling Yun, right? Otherwise, even if you can't contact Ling Yun in the past two years , you can also ask Xiuwen for the address or phone number. You think he has discovered your feelings and is avoiding you, right?" Xia Lan asked the most painful question regardless of the embarrassment on her face.

When she saw Tang Xiushi and Ling Yun getting along for the first time back then, she was always feeling uneasy, until she learned of the frequent correspondence between Ling Yun and Tang Xiushi from Wan Shihui's mouth, and Bian Hongxiu's attitude became no longer positive. Only then completely panicked.She is not stupid, of course she knows that in the military life that is almost isolated from the world, receiving news from another person frequently means allowing the other person to invade his life, even if Ling Yun himself is actually unconscious.

Tang Xiushi glanced at Xia Lan expressionlessly, "It has nothing to do with you!" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the pavilion.

"Even if you don't have children, it's just a marriage in name! Don't you want to do that? The Tang family, it's impossible to watch you stay unmarried for life." Xia Lan pleaded desperately, seeing him without turning her head, staggering He rushed forward and yelled at his back. "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you?"

Seeing Tang Xiushi finally stop, the tears rolled down from her eyes, she didn't understand why she fell into such a humble situation.

Tang Xiushi stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look into Xia Lan's eyes, he was unexpectedly not as angry and flustered as he should be after being threatened, and even curled his lips in a good mood.

Xia Lan exhausted all her strength to maintain her balance, looking forward to Tang Xiushi's response, but she didn't know what answer she really wanted to know, she just felt that she only heard Tang Xiushi's deep and affirmative answer when the air was frozen.

"I can't ask for it!"
