A lively family dinner at home has begun.

During the dinner, everyone showed kindness to Gu Baitao and asked her to eat more.There was one big boiled crab for each person, and my aunt directly gave Qin Huan two: "Peel your partner."

With a smile in his eyes, Qin Huan rolled up his sleeves and started to work. After a while, he peeled the crab beautifully, put the pieces of white crab meat into a small bowl, and even peeled off two crabs and served them to her together.

Baitao: "Don't give it all to me, eat it yourself."

Qin Huan: "I don't like seafood."

Baitao: "Oh." How can you not like seafood, she likes crab very much.

Baitao took a bite, the crab meat was sweet and firm, and she wanted to eat more after taking a bite, she widened her eyes, scooped up a spoonful with a small spoon, and brought it to Qin Huan's mouth: "This crab is really delicious, you Try it."

Qin Huan lowered his eyes and obediently ate the spoonful of crab meat.

"How about it?"

"good."

Baitao: "It's not bad, it's so delicious."

Qin Huan watched her continue to eat the crab meat he peeled for her with the same spoon, and bent his eyes: "Mmm, it's delicious."

Gu Baitao ate this meal very happily, and it was the first time since she came out that she was so happy.

After the meal, my uncle and aunt chatted with her for a long time, and then it was my uncle who set up mahjong, so Baitao had a chance to go to Qin Huan.

Unexpectedly, my aunt said: "Come here, Qin Huan, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, we'll always be short of one of three. We're going to play till night no matter what."

Qin Huan said to Gu Baitao: "Little aunt doesn't know how to play mahjong. Every time I come here, they drag me into the game. There are not many opportunities for them to play. You can sit next to me and watch me play. If you feel bored , just go around the yard?"

Gu Baitao obediently agreed: "Then I will sit next to you."

Qin Huan originally thought that Gu Baitao would get bored after watching it for a while, and just wanted to play for an hour or two to let the aunt and the others enjoy themselves, but who would have thought that Gu Baitao would get better and better after watching it, and after an hour, she said to Qin Huan: "I seem to be gone."

Qin Huan thought it was funny, and stood up: "Then you come, you can hit whatever you want, and I will help you by the side."

Qin Huan did not expect that Gu Baitao would really watch the game. Except for the fact that he had to remind her to pay attention to some rules at the beginning, she could always play relatively suitable cards at other times, although most of the time I am always obsessed with some strange preferences, such as particularly liking white in the southeast and northwest, and I am not willing to throw it away if there is no door.

It is said that the newcomer is very lucky. Even so, she still made several times of open and hidden bars, and even blossomed in the bars. In the end, one family won and three lost, which made my uncle very happy:

"Tao Zi, have you practiced at home, why are you so fierce at the beginning, you have to make a substitution, the opponent's appearance is not considered a win."

Qin Huan hurriedly sighed: "What do you mean by this, my uncle and uncle are still playing as a couple, so why are you targeting us?"

The little uncle was fooling around: "Hey, you are not married yet, what are you talking about, playing mahjong only counts after you get married, and it doesn't count now."

Qin Huan: "With my uncle's words, I will tie the knot tomorrow. Don't regret it."

The uncle laughed: "Okay, when you get married, my uncle will not only let Taozi play mahjong, but also give you a big red envelope."

Lu Xi who came in to look for something to eat drifted past: "Uncle, I heard, if I get married, will I get a red envelope?"

Uncle: "You can tie it. Is the key to you?"

Lu Xi drifted past: "I'll think about it again."

Seeing this situation, Gu Baitao was thoughtful.

She was a little tired after playing for an hour, so she gave up the seat to Qin Huan, saying that she was going to get something to eat, and went to the kitchen to wash the fruit to share with the big mahjong players, and then went to the yard with the fruit plate.

Ambient lights were hung in the yard, which looked warm and beautiful. Chen Le had already gone upstairs to play with the computer, and Lu Xi was playing with a handheld on the rocking chair.

"Drink?"

Gu Baitao brought a can of iced Coke.

Lu Xi saw that it was her, and turned off the game machine with a smile: "I'm past the age of drinking, and now I want to drink beer."

Gu Baitao snorted, "Then I'll get the beer."

"Hey, just kidding."

Lu Xi smiled and said, "Why are you still so..."

He swallowed the next two words, opened two soda cans, and held up one can: "Come on, I wish you all your wishes in the future, get along well with my sister, and achieve positive results. You are happy together, and my classmate becomes a younger brother." Just admit it."

Gu Baitao clinked glasses with him: "Thank you, and I hope you find someone you like soon."

Lu Xi took a sip of soda: "Actually, I do have girlfriends, and I quite like them."

Gu Baitao: "Well, what then?"

"Then, her family's conditions are very good, and her parents are a bit strong, so I have some concerns."

Gu Baitao was stunned.

It's really not easy to say, when you fall in love at this age, you can't just talk about feelings, without considering the other person's family background, life, it is inevitable that there will be these daily chores.It's understandable for Lu Xi to think so.

Lu Xi took another sip of soda, and added: "But she is still a very good person, and she also likes me, and I am very happy to be with her."

Gu Baitao said: "That's pretty good. Family matters, let's let it go. Of course, I'm an outsider. It depends on you. It's just about finding someone in this world who likes each other and is relatively suitable for marriage." It's not easy. At least in terms of gender being accepted, you're already much happier than me."

Lu Xi smiled: "You are quite good at comforting people."

Gu Baitao pouted: "It's true."

Her parents haven't contacted her yet.I no longer care about whether she eats well, where she will stay at night, and if the child she raises says no, she won't.

Lu Xi: "Don't worry, my sister is a very good person, and you won't suffer after being with her."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, sat up and asked narrowly, "Isn't it true that you saw each other right in high school?"

Gu Baitao: "...I said, I didn't know Qin Huan at all when I was in high school, would you believe me?"

Lu Xi frowned: "It shouldn't be."

Gu Baitao patted his thigh: "Isn't that right, she is such a good-looking person, she should be at the school beauty level, and many people in the school should know each other, but I never remember such a good-looking senior."

Lu Xi: "It's not true if you want to say that. She was actually not good-looking when she was in high school."

Gu Baitao opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

Lu Xi thought about it: "Wait for me."

He entered the room, and Gu Baitao looked at Qin Huan through the window. Even when she was playing mahjong, she sat up straight, her side face was warmed and beautifully lit by the light in the living room, and her movements of touching the cards were so smooth and elegant. Playing mahjong is more like playing chess. It is not vulgar at all. It is not in the same style as those who play mahjong in mahjong halls and teahouses.

Such an exquisite and beautiful person should have been sought after by countless people since elementary school.

In Beijing, in nightclubs, Qin Huan will always be the focus, drinking saliva, there will be many people peeking at it, and more than five men and women will come to ask for WeChat if they go out of the street.

If Gu Baitao knew that he had been in the same school as her at that time, why would she be one of those people who watched her secretly, watching her walk across the playground in her school uniform, and the boys who played would put the game aside to watch her, every day The girl's confession letters can fill a table, and then Qin Huan will put the letters away with a smile, not reading any of them.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lu Xi came back with a photo album in his hand.

"At that time, there were no mobile phones. Fortunately, my mother saved the photos of us from childhood to adulthood, all of which are in it."

He flipped through the pages, let out a huff, and turned the album over to show Baitao:

"Look, that's what she looked like in high school."

A girl in a loose school uniform, with short hair, thick bangs, and black-rimmed glasses. This is a very ordinary face from both left and right. In other words, because of the thick bangs and big glasses, her face cannot be seen clearly at all. , you can vaguely see that the facial features are good-looking, the face is smooth and the lips are superior, but if you throw it into the crowd wearing school uniforms, you will not be able to find it in an instant.

Gu Baitao looked at it for a while, and then saw the familiar Qin Huan's eyebrows and eyes through the lens. It was obviously those gorgeous eyes, and the charming outline of the eyebrows and eyes, but at that time, his eyes were dull, as if nothing could mention her. An ordinary "good student" who only knows how to study.

Lu Xi: "This photo was taken before she was going to Beijing to transfer to another school. It happened to be the third year of high school. In fact, she was in the same school as us for half a year. Looking back now, she has been inconspicuous since she was in school. , or after going to Beijing to go to college, I went back to City H once, when I was in my third year of high school, I almost didn't recognize her, I thought she had plastic surgery."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Gu Baitao didn't remember having such a good-looking senior.Because at that time, there were no such good-looking senior sisters in the school.

Gu Baitao felt that he had realized it, but he always felt that something was wrong.She said, "Has it changed so much?"

"It's normal. After going to college, she became enlightened, and she knows how to tidy up. She was originally good-looking."

Gu Baitao touched the photo, even though Qin Huan in the photo was ordinary, Gu Baitao looked at it again and again, and the more he looked, the more delicate his features became, and he said, "Do you think I had a bad eye at that time?"

Lu Xi: "?"

Gu Baitao smiled and said, "It's obviously very beautiful, but I didn't notice it."

Lu Xi didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me just say it. You two should have met. I liked you at that time. It's all over, so there's nothing I can't say. It was so loud, all the students in the school knew it, and I was embarrassed myself, thinking that you must be so embarrassing, and it is not good to tell you this directly, because I am afraid that others will gossip when they see it, and I am afraid that you will avoid me, so I just ask My sister will give you a message for me."

Gu Baitao frowned and thought about it carefully: "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes. She went, and she came back and talked to me, saying that you forgive me, but she still rejected me, saying that it is impossible for me to have any development with you, and told me not to pester you in the future. I was sad for days after that."

Gu Baitao's eyes were full of doubts: "Is there such a thing?"

Lu Xi was silent for a while, and said, "You won't forget about my chasing you in high school, will you?"

"Then I know, but all I know is that I just rejected you, and suddenly the whole school knew about it. I spent the whole year living alone, and I didn't even hear other people's jokes about me, let alone No response, and I haven't seen her."

As she spoke, she touched Qin Huan's face in the photo again, and said with certainty: "It's true that we didn't meet each other, we didn't talk to each other, and I didn't tell you the above. Those words."

Lu Xi opened his mouth halfway, staring blankly at Gu Baitao.

Gu Baitao got a little angry: "Why don't you believe me?"

Lu Xi licked his lips: "I believe you, you don't have to lie to me, but in this way, it is Qin Huan who lied to me. Why did she lie to me?"
