This "Mrs. Ijiang" who came to visit suddenly was very talkative and sentimental. After hearing that Chang Yan lived alone and her parents were not alive, her young face, which can be described as youthful and beautiful, was immediately full of melancholy. And looked directly at him with apologetic eyes, giving people the illusion that she had done something heinous, but in fact she just accidentally mentioned the other party's family, and it was so unfortunate that Chang Yan's family members were all unfortunate It's just that she passed away... It can't be said that she didn't think carefully.

Chang Yan is naturally aware of this, and he doesn't have much idea about his parents. What he feels the most about the identity setting given to him by the world is that it adds a lot of convenience to his actions. Because such a trivial matter is to the point of blaming others, not to mention that the other party didn't do it on purpose, so he has no reason to blame the other party.

So after explaining that she didn't feel offended by it, although Mrs. Irie still looked a little unnatural, she was not as restrained as before.And it may be because she is also a mother herself. For someone like Chang Yan, who has suffered such a great misfortune while still underage and lives alone, her heart is surging with a soft feeling that belongs to motherhood immediately. It's starting to get agitated--

She couldn't restrain her love and affection for the "poor child" in front of her. She wanted to reach out to hold Chang Yan's hand several times, but in the end she gave up because Chang Yan avoided it without a trace.

She hugged her child and chattered: "Ahem, your child is called Chang Yan, right? You are a family who came here from Huaguo. Speaking of which, I really want to go to this country to have a look. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful and diverse, it's like a fairyland—" She thought of the pictures in some promotional videos, and couldn't help but feel more yearning in her tone.

Chang Yan nodded and said, "It is indeed as you said, there are indeed many beautiful scenic spots in our country, which are worth visiting."

Machiko Irie looked at him with soft eyebrows, "It must be very uncomfortable for your family to come here far away from home, right? I think I felt very uncomfortable even when I moved. My father even laughed at me, saying that women It's just weak—"

"Sometimes expressing one's emotions is not necessarily a sign of weakness." Chang Yan said pertinently.

"That's right!" Machiko Irie agreed with his point of view, "But it is not easy to leave a familiar place, and fortunately, the neighbors at that time were a very friendly family. They have helped us a lot, and we are very grateful to them until now!"

Chang Yan somewhat understood what she meant, so he nodded along with her and said, "It's really lucky to meet such kind-hearted neighbors."

Irie Machiko nodded with a smile, then took his hand, and said earnestly: "So, neighbors are very important, and good neighbors are even more important! If you have any questions, you can come to us! Help! We will never talk about it when we are busy!" She thought for a while and added, "After all, I am also a mother, and I can't help but see a child who is about the same age as my own child. I want to get close, I just hope you don't dislike me for being too annoying."

Faced with such a statement, how could Chang Yan refuse?

In the end, he had no choice but to promise that he would visit the other party another day, so that Irie Machiko left with satisfaction with his youngest son, who hadn't spoken much from the beginning to the end.

Chang Yan couldn't figure out why the other party was so friendly to him when he closed the door for the first time. Obviously, when facing a stranger who just moved here, under normal circumstances, most people would stay vigilant and wait and see. Attitude?Does he have a harmless face?

He made a guess as if joking, and then he was rejected by himself in the next second - he didn't think he had a cute face, at least not the type that would attract women in their 40s...

Chang Yan, who denied his personal charm like this, did not expect that this reason, which he hadn't given much thought to, turned out to be one of the reasons why Irie Machiko was inexplicably close to him, and it still accounted for a large part of the reason.

"Husband, you don't know how annoying a boy who just moved in next door is - not only good-looking, but also polite, and has a good attitude towards me. He's not like Naoki who just ignores me What! And the family situation is also special, he is the only one here, and his parents both passed away due to an accident... I think it is strange that he lives in such a big house as a child, so I asked him to come to us when he has something to do Anyway, let’s help him if we have the ability! He’s not very old, he’s just a child——" Machiko Irie mentioned their new neighbor at the dinner table after returning home, with a full tone of voice It is a preference for this neighbor.

Irie Naoki asked very bluntly: "Isn't Mom confused by the other party's appearance? You still don't know what the other party's character is, so just let the other party ask for it so simply?"

Irie Machiko pouted unhappily, "Naoki is really uncute! That child is not the kind of person you said--you can tell whether a person is good or bad just by looking at his appearance. You have to trust your mother’s vision of people—I think your father was also my favorite at the beginning, isn’t this a good explanation for this problem!” She turned her head to her husband, seeking the same opinion, “You think so? husband?"

Irie Jung originally wanted to nod in agreement with his son's statement, but after seeing his wife's glance, he changed his position very unsteadily, and firmly supported Machiko's point of view: "Yes, Naoki, about you I still believe in my mother's eyes, my father's, how can you say that about your mother?" He scowled and tried to be serious.

It's a pity that his son didn't agree with him, Naoki glanced at the ceiling speechlessly and remained silent, and continued to eat his own meal quietly, not planning to get involved in the conversation of his parents.

But not long after, the name that Machiko mentioned inadvertently made him frowned, and he put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked Machiko, "What's the name of the neighbor you mentioned?"

Machiko curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "You didn't listen to me just now, Naoki—that new kid is Chang and Yan, they are not natives." At this point she suddenly stopped talking and said to herself : "Hey - I think he seems to be about the same age as you. I forgot to ask if he is in school. Next time I see you, I must ask!"

Naoki twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No need to ask, I just know where he goes to school."

"How do you know?" Irie and his wife looked at him suspiciously and asked in unison.

Naoki was a little depressed about the coincidence, "He and I happen to be in the same class."

"Huh——" Machiko opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and then clenched her hands excitedly, "What a coincidence! So he is your classmate, Naoki! Now there is even more reason to invite him to our house We are a guest!"

"Mom—" Naoki refused, "I don't know him well, why would I do such a thing?"

Machiko ignored his protest, and said to herself: "Oh! Being a neighbor and a classmate, this kind of fate is really like a plot in a two-dimensional manga-I really hope that this classmate Chang can get along with him. Naoki has become a good friend~~" After expressing emotion, she turned to look at her son with a paralyzed face, and said righteously: "Naoki! You must remember to invite him to your house, otherwise mom will Not happy!"

Just as Naoki was about to say, "I don't want to do such a thing even if you're unhappy", Irie Jung gave him frequent winks to make him agree to Machiko. Under the double pressure, he could only nod helplessly.

——So the behind-the-scenes *oss of their family is his mother, right?

And Zhi Shu, who was forced to do things, naturally didn't need to expect him to have a good face, so it was understandable for Chang Yan to see his expression so low that he could almost drip water.

However, Chang Yan, who didn't know why, didn't understand when he provoked this "genius", which caused the other party to have such a bad face, but because the other party he saw during this time was almost unhappy, So I didn't think too much about it, I just thought that maybe this genius gentleman was bored so badly that he was in a bad mood...

Only when Naoki was unwilling to finish his sentence, did he vaguely understand the source of the other party's bad mood - dare to be ordered by his mother...

But facing Machiko's invitation, Chang Yan did not refuse. Although he had no intention of approaching the plot characters, every time the plot characters came unexpectedly, he got used to it over time and didn't think about how to do it. Refuse this kind of arrangement that is similar to something in the dark.

After he simply agreed, Naoki didn't come back to his senses for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to nod his head, but although he didn't understand why Chang Yan, who looked similar to him and also didn't like to approach the crowd, Will agree to his mother's invitation to be a guest, but his personality of not always inquiring makes him unable to ask the other party.

Then Chang Yan visited Irie's house on a certain weekend that was agreed upon, and all four of them happened to be there.

Out of politeness, Naoki stayed in the living room even if he was reluctant in his heart, but kept silent all the way while his parents talked enthusiastically with Chang Yan, and his younger brother who liked to cling to him sat quietly beside him, While looking at Chang Yan with a pair of big eyes curiously.

But to say how enthusiastic Chang Yan's attitude is is not enough. To say that he talks eloquently is even more nonsense. It is simply impossible for people who speak.But the attitude of the other party to listen carefully makes you unable to protest anything. The tall and straight young man sits there with his back straight, his eyes are firm, and his brows and eyes are calm. It is a landscape that makes others feel peaceful inside Shu Chang, how could you want to get the other party's reticence?

When asked about his own affairs, Chang Yan was also prepared. Although there were only a few short sentences, as long as the tone was sincere enough, it was enough.

Even Naoki, who lacked interest, couldn't help but be attracted by his serious expression, let alone a child who is always used to judging a person by superficial impressions.

So for this big brother who didn't talk to him very much, Yuki Irie, who is only seven years old now, can only give a rough answer like "ah, it feels so good", "this person looks like my brother" and so on. Vague evaluation, but Naoki's position in his heart as the big brother is still unattainable and unshakable.

Then, a few days later, Chang Yan unexpectedly had a close contact with the youngest son of the Rujiang family.

When Chang Yan saw a somewhat familiar figure on the side of the road, he couldn't help but feel strange. After he looked around but found no adults he knew nearby, the strangeness became more obvious, but he was not good. Leaving the other party with a child in a place where people are coming and going, I had no choice but to walk across the sidewalk to the other party's position.

At this time, Yushu was squatting on the side of the road and looking around. When he saw Chang Yan walking over, his expression was puzzled for a while, and then he quickly found a memory about this person in his mind-"He is someone I know"" The labels of "new neighbor" and "brother's classmate" were firmly attached to Chang Yan.

His eyes lit up visibly at the discovery.

Chang Yan walked up to him, looked down at the little boy, paused for a while before asking: "...Why are you here, where is Aunt Machiko?" call.

Hearing his question, Yu Shu's eyes obviously wandered away, and he hesitated and said: "Mom... Mom said that she would pick me up from school later today. I didn't wait for her... I left first." Guilty like being caught in trouble.

At this time, Chang Yan also guessed the follow-up of the matter - it was nothing more than the development plot of the little kid who wanted to rely on himself to go home and got lost accidentally, which in his opinion was really not difficult to understand.

——But understanding is one thing, agreeing with it or not is another.

He tilted his head, and handed Yu Shu his hand, "Then I'll take you home now, lest your mother worry."

"Oh!" Yu Shu nodded and agreed, then grabbed his hand and stood up with strength, but because he had been squatting for too long, he staggered and fell forward. Gone is his little accident.

Chang Yan squatted down, pressed his calf, and asked him, "Is your leg numb?"

"...En." Yu Shu looked at him pitifully, and now he only felt that the position from his calf to his ankle was bitten by a small bug, numb and itchy, as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

Chang Yan sighed helplessly, he raised his hand to look at the time, and finally had no choice but to pick up the little boy whose legs were numb from squatting, and walked in the direction of going back.

Yu Shu knew that he had troubled others, so he buried his small face on Chang Yan's shoulder in embarrassment at this time, not daring to look at his face, his mouth opened and closed all the way, but he didn't say a word.

He clasped Chang Yan's neck, looked behind him, and it was at this time that he remembered - the direction Chang Yan was going just now didn't seem to be the way back?

So he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Hey - do you have somewhere else to go?" The corner of his eyes kept looking at Chang Yan's side face.

Chang Yan casually replied "En" - he originally wanted to go to the securities company to see the situation, but he couldn't ignore this little guy when he met him on the way, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

Now Yu Shu buried his face in his clothes again and refused to speak, but the two little hands holding his neck tightened a little more.

Chang Yan didn't care about him, and lifted the other's butt up while visually measuring how far he was from the destination.

It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of Irijiang's house that Chang Yan put Yushu down to leave, the little guy lowered his head and grabbed the hem of his coat, and said "thank you" dully.

If Chang Yan's facial features were not much more sensitive than before, he probably wouldn't be able to hear what the other party said.

He glanced at the unexpectedly shy and awkward child, and finally said lightly: "Don't walk away suddenly like this in the future."

Responding to him was a reluctant "Yes" from the little guy whose height did not reach his thigh.
