"Xiaoci, you and the young master...are you alright?"

"Well, it's fine, we're both fine."

Hua Ci is a very sensitive person, if there is any superfluous meaning behind Song Qiuyu's words, it is almost as clear as a glass of white water in front of him, and it is only natural that Hua Ci intends to set her flowers.

"It's natural for you young people to be busy with work. It's good that you come back to celebrate the New Year this year." Song Qiuyu paused, "Is Xiaolei still so busy this year?"

Huaci smiled: "No, he's back too."

Song Qiuyu relaxed slightly, nodded and said, "It's fine, it's fine, just come back."

Huaci probably guessed in his heart that Hualei hadn't come back for the New Year in the past two years.The past two years have not been a happy time for them. He doesn't know how Hualei lived, but it is probably also very difficult, and he can understand it if he doesn't go back to Province Z during the Chinese New Year.

Hua Ci said: "So this year I want him to prepare for the ancestor worship. I have said it several times in the past two days. He is not in a hurry, and he gets angry with me when he is in a hurry. The bigger the more the more disobedient. "

He said that this was a casual chat, and he didn't mean to complain, but it seemed that Aunt Song Qiu took it seriously, which made her face a little stiff.

"He... He is always busy with work when he is older. The ancestor worship has always been complicated. He must not be careless. Just the two of you are young people, so don't rush him so hard."

Hua Ci raised his eyebrows in surprise, Song Qiuyu has always attached great importance to rules. In the past, when Hua Ci presided over the ancestor worship, there were only him and Hua Lei in the big house. It's also very complicated, but I've never heard her say such a thing.

Huaci remained silent, with only a smile on the corner of her lips, Song Qiuyu seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate, so she smiled awkwardly.

"Aunt Qiu, what's the matter with your leg? Is it the fault left by the burn a few years ago? Didn't you go to see it?"

"As you get older, you will naturally become unwell. The burn was a minor problem. It will be fine after a few days of recuperation. It has nothing to do with it." Song Qiuyu quickly waved his hands in denial.

Huaci nodded: "You were injured because you were anxious to take care of me at night. When I recovered from your illness, you hurriedly retired and didn't say goodbye. I feel sorry for you. I originally thought about visiting in person later, but ended up with a bunch of trivial things It was delayed for two or three years by accident."

I don't know if the winter wind is easy to blow away the blood on the face. Song Qiuyu's face that has worked a lot seems to be pale for a moment, and his complexion is very ugly, but he still smiles: "It's okay, I'm just old, and I can't work well. , I just wanted to not delay you at the Hua family."

Huaci looked at her complexion carefully, and suddenly felt a little depressed.

The two stood in the cold wind and chatted for a while, their hands and feet were freezing cold, Song Qiuyu seemed to have something to do at home, so she said goodbye after a while.Huaci actually missed her very much, and wanted to talk to her more, but he couldn't force her to stay, so he had to say, "I'll see you off."

"No, no, no." Song Qiuyu bent her thin back, "My house is close, so there's no need to see her off. I'll go back after a walk. You're not in good health, so don't blow the wind outside."

While talking, she stuffed all the boxes of chestnut cakes in her hand to Hua Ci: "Take it, you like to eat this, you go back to eat it, remember to ask someone to heat it up for you before eating, it's cold."

Still in such a familiar tone, remembering that he is not in good health and what he likes to eat.

Warmth flowed in Huaci's heart, and the little stone that was pressing on her heart just now disappeared.

"Aunt Qiu, there are so many people queuing up, you managed to get there, so keep it for yourself."

Song Qiuyu shook her head, and forced it to him: "I don't like this, I bought it because I'm used to it, I've bought it for so many years... I'm used to it."

Hua Ci was carrying a heavy chestnut cake, her nose was a little sour.

It happened that the driver came back with his car. Song Qiuyu knew the Hua family's car, and pushed the Hua Ci twice: "Okay, let's go back."

"Then I'll see you later." Hua Ci couldn't resist her, so she walked towards the car with one step and two turns. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw Song Qiuyu sprint two more steps and called him.

Huaci hurriedly stood still: "Aunt Qiu, what's wrong?"

Song Qiuyu's chest rose and fell slightly, and the hands hanging on both sides of her body grabbed the hem of her clothes and looked at Huaci carefully, but her tone was a little dry: "I, I just want to say, Xiaoci, Hualei is a good boy, If he does something wrong, don't blame him, treat him well."

Hua Ci was stunned for a moment, and the stone that had disappeared just now pressed back into his heart again, making him thoroughly confirm certain conjectures.The hot heart seems to be placed naked in the cold wind and rain again. The coldness and warmth are embarrassingly intertwined, neither fish nor fowl.

Huaci didn't speak, he stared briefly at Song Qiuyu, nodded, and sat back in the car, without looking back at Aunt Qiu who was left behind.

The new driver didn't know Song Qiuyu, so he glanced at him lightly, then turned the car around and drove into the traffic.

"Mr. Hua, shall we go back?"

"Go back..." Huaci nodded subconsciously, and said after a while, "Forget it, just take a detour and drive a little longer."

"Ok."

The driver thoughtfully bought hot fruit tea just now, and Huaci's palm was pressed against the wall of the cup. At first, he just felt warm, but after a while, he gradually felt that it was a little hot.He looked at the city stream of people slowly passing by outside the car window, his brows were calm.

Probably because he wanted to relax, the driver deliberately slowed down the car, and several hours had passed by the time he got home.

Hualei suspected that he had offended people when he went out, and now there is no monitoring, so I don't know where Hua resigned, and gradually became a little anxious waiting at home, from the beginning in the study, to being in the The large living room on the first floor was finally moved to the reception room outside, and he walked out as soon as he heard traffic outside.

Huaci got out of the car and walked a few steps away. Before he passed the concierge, Hua Lei who came to pick him up was stuck on his face. Those who didn't know thought he had gone a long way.

Hualei bowed her head and took the chestnut cake he was carrying, and shook his hand by the way, feeling that the palm of his hand was not cold, so she was relieved.

"Oh, it's all my fault. My brother used to like to eat chestnut cakes from this store. I forgot this year, and I want you to go out and buy them."

Huaci said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm free anyway, I went there myself to find out that their house is so prosperous, and there is a long queue at the New Year's Eve."

Hualei nodded: "That's it, then ask someone to see if they can participate in shares or buy it, so that brother can eat whatever he wants in the future?"

How many years have passed since the Hua family's ancestors have built their business, and Hua Ci probably has never produced someone as arrogant as him, so he glanced at Hua Lei speechlessly: "Where is this local tyrant, he really looks like my brother."

The nonsensical trash talk made Hualei very satisfied and couldn't hold back his smile. They hugged Huaci's shoulder intimately, and the two walked back to the house. Hualei handed the chestnut cake to the people in the flower hall , Let him go to the kitchen to heat up.

Hua Lei has always had a keen insight into Hua Ci's emotions. He noticed that Hua Ci's mood was different from the moment he entered the door, but Hua Ci didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to mention it rashly. He was thinking privately when he heard Hua Ci's tone.

"It's quite a coincidence that I ran into Aunt Qiu today."

After he finished this sentence, he seemed to stop continuing, as if he was waiting for Hualei to speak, which made Hualei's heart tighten in an instant.

But it was too easy for Hualei to pretend to be in front of him, so she smiled calmly: "Then you must have chatted for a long time, no wonder you came back so late. It's really a coincidence, I was thinking about going back to S in a few days." I went to visit Aunt Qiu with my brother before the city."

Huaci heard the words and looked sideways at him, with a hint of boredom in his calm eyes.

In the past, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference, because he was trustworthy enough, but in those two months or so, he had watched it too many times, and he was too familiar with his appearance. .

Hua Ci sighed silently in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Qiu walked away in a hurry, what happened that I don't know?"

Hualei's eyebrows are thick and bright, and when he's not smiling, his appearance is naturally intimidating, but he subconsciously indulges Huaci in front of Huaci, making people easily forget his true nature.

His lips moved, and Hua Ci gave him a reassurance before he spoke: "Tell the truth. I want to listen to the truth. We agreed, don't hide things that may hurt each other in your heart, and no matter what happens Whatever, I will never leave you again."

Hua Lei's eyes moved up, with a bit of stagnation and obscurity, and the corners of his lips trembled imperceptibly, as if he was not about to speak, but dryly spit out a knife.

"I... secretly kissed you back then, and Aunt Qiu saw it."

Hua Ci calmly accepted the truth behind it, and he didn't seem to find it too difficult to accept. He nodded and said "uh" as if he had received the information.

Hualei stared at him tightly, his whole body tensed as if he was facing the horror of breaking away from everything, but the calmness of the person in front of him made him think that what he said hadn't done any treachery in the past matter.

"Brother...Aren't you angry?" His tone was a little trembling, and he hooked Huaci's finger cautiously and boldly.

Hua Ci raised his eyes, and gave him a fair look: "It's not that I can't imagine how stupid you were before."

Hualei was fixed in place by this glance, and she didn't dare to try again.

Huaci whispered: "So she knows."

Hua tired looked at him and said nothing.

"She understood what you thought of me at that time, and she knew that I might never know everything after she left, and she also understood that you were doing something wrong at that time. What did you say and do to her at that time, so that she later Have you ever tried to find me?"

Hua Lei just wanted to talk, but Hua Ci continued to mutter to himself: "I didn't mention it at that time, and I haven't mentioned it today, but she told me to treat you well, what did she acquiesce to...but she still wants me Treat you well."

Aunt Qiu never thought about whether something terrible happened, whether Huaci is doing well now, what he has experienced... maybe she thought of everything, but in the end, the only thing she kept in her heart was to let Huaci be good to Hualei.

If Song Qiuyu hadn't been driven away by Hua Lei at that time, would she have kept everything under control and watched Hua Ci step by step towards the abyss of the trap.

Hua Ci couldn't give himself a negative answer.

It's not that he doesn't want to be kind to Hualei, he once thought that he was willing to dedicate everything to Hualei, but it doesn't mean that he was willing to continue to be kind to Hualei after those things happened.

No matter what happens to you, no matter what terrible things, you have to be good to him, as long as he is good.

Song Qiuyu was actually just saying that last sentence, but for Hua Ci, the previous hesitation and hesitation were all evidence, but he couldn't say it, the wounds cut by these fine knives may not be worse than those two years ago. The pain is so painful that he wants to feel better, but it seems that he is unnecessary and preoccupied.

In the end, it only became a silent stone, pressing on his chest.

But he didn't say anything, Hualei understood.Only relying on Huaci's few words, he understood Huaci's confusion and grievance, and felt distressed because of it.

Hualei wraps his shoulders carefully, hugging him securely, like hugging a wobbly kite.

"Brother, I should have told you a long time ago that the Hua family has no good people, so we shouldn't have any expectations of them."

The instigator was embracing him to comfort him, admonishing him, but Hua Ci didn't push him away, and even felt an urge to hug him back.

This sense of security is strange and bewildered, it easily sees through his heart, but it fills his panic and confusion incomparably, causing uncontrollable waves in his heart.
