The Ke family already has a very Christmas atmosphere. The big Christmas tree that stood in the yard last year was taken out and placed in the same place. Ke Lvyan went to park the car, and Ke Zhiyan helped Wei Cheng carry the luggage down. The pieces went through the door first.

As soon as Hel the corgi heard the movement, he spread his short legs and ran towards the door. Wei Cheng stood at the door and saw an electric motor buttocks.Wei Cheng put down the things in her hands and picked up Hel, "Are you getting fat again?"

Ke Zhiyan stood aside with an indescribable expression, "Traitor." She called to Hel.

Wei Cheng smiled and handed Hel into Ke Zhiyan's arms, "Hel still likes you the most, look how happy she is."

Hel gave a cooperating bark, sticking out his tongue to lick Ke Zhiyan's face—of course the latter avoided him, "Hey, did you brush your teeth this morning?"

Ke Zhiyan, who Wei Cheng stayed in the foyer and played with Hel, entered the living room first, and Ke's mother was sitting in front of the burning fireplace knitting a sweater. Even though she was wearing glasses, she didn't look old at all, but subtly blended with her scholarly aura, Wei Cheng thought about Ke Zhiyan, who will be decades away, and wanted to laugh, she couldn't put that arrogant and domineering face together with such a quiet atmosphere.

Mother Ke looked up when she heard the movement, and she gave Wei Cheng a smile, probably wanting to greet her, but the wool wrapped half of her leg under her hands would not allow her to do so, so she gave Wei Cheng an apologetic glance, as though she wanted to greet her. Sit as far as possible to make room for the majority of seats.

Wei Cheng put down the things in her hands and sat down to accompany Mama Ke.

"This is for Zhiyan, you don't know if it's cold or not."

Wei Cheng reached out and touched the sweater, "That's enough, if it's thicker, she thinks it's cumbersome, so she definitely won't wear it."

"This child has been very picky since she was a child. It takes a lot of thought to buy clothes for her every year."

Wei Cheng smiled, "Young people, after all, the aesthetics are different. She also chooses in the national team, and now when we choose the color of the team uniform, we choose her first."

Mother Ke shook her head, "She just met you guys. By the way, what color do you like, Xiaocheng?"

"Me?" Wei Cheng waved her hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, I don't need it."

"One legal statement, one childish statement, and one piece for you, it's only fair that all three children have one." Mother Ke looked at her, as if the three children were not close or close in her eyes.

"Then, I can do whatever, I don't have any color that I don't wear."

Mother Ke smiled, as if she already had an answer in her heart.

Early the next morning, when Wei Cheng went downstairs, Ke Zhiyan was already sitting at the dining table and had already started breakfast. Ke Lvyan was sitting opposite her, and the two elders were not there.

"Papa is at work, Mummy is at school, and they don't have a holiday until Christmas Eve." Ke Lvyan said while drinking coffee, seeing Wei Cheng sitting next to Ke Zhiyan, he pushed the coffee pot next to him: "Coffee?"

"Plain water is fine." Wei Cheng said that she did not have the habit of drinking coffee in China.Ke Luyan nodded and refilled his glass.Pushing a white porcelain cup from Wei Cheng's left hand, it contained boiled water that had already been poured.

Ke Zhiyan withdrew his hand, and took another piece of sliced ​​bread from the communal plate, "I've eaten all the blueberries, is strawberry jam okay?"

Wei Cheng held the cup and drank water on an empty stomach, and smiled at Ke Zhiyan: "Thank you."

Ke Zhiyan spread jam on the slices of bread as promised, probably to prevent bread crumbs from falling all over the table, she dragged her own plate over and carried the bread all the way into Wei Cheng's plate, and fiddled with her plate with a fork .

Ke Lvyan's sharp-eyed "Hey" caught the attention of another person who was drinking water: "I saw it. Mommy told you to eat that piece of fried egg."

Only then did Wei Cheng notice that Ke Zhiyan's plate was facing her own, and a piece of fried egg was about to fall from the other's plate into her own plate at the junction in the middle.

Ke Zhiyan frowned at the piece of fried egg, and spit out two words in dissatisfaction: "English style."

Only then did Wei Cheng understand what the other party meant, it wasn't for her purposely, it was just because the kid was a picky eater again, and she just didn't like English fried eggs.

Ke Luyan raised his eyebrows, and threatened in a drawn-out tone: "After eating all, Mommy specially asked me to supervise."

Ke Zhiyan glared at her, then snorted softly, "Traitor."

"Whatever you want." Ke Luyan drank the second cup of coffee from Weicheng, "Hurry up, I'll see you off later, and call me after I'm done, I'm going back to school today. "

Only then did Wei Cheng remember that she was going to visit Joanna today.

Ke Zhiyan said "um", and the speed of his men was still not too fast.Wei Cheng kindly asked, "Is school still in session today?"

Ke Luyan turned his head subconsciously, as if he didn't understand, but before she could speak, Ke Zhiyan said "Tsk", "Going on a date."

"Huh?" Wei Cheng froze for a moment.

Ke Zhiyan continued: "The Asian boy should be a Chinese student studying abroad. He will return to China after graduation this year. Speaking of which, how far have you two progressed?"

Ke Lvyan lowered his voice and warned, "Shut up."

Ke Zhiyan kept her mouth shut, her goal had been achieved, and the person sitting opposite her did not say a word afterward.

The world is quiet.Ke Zhiyan was complacent.

In the end, she didn't feel complacent for long, dawdling through breakfast, Ke Zhiyan and Wei Cheng threw the bowls into the dishwasher and waited, Wei Cheng found that the other party was wilting at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Are you scared?" Wei Cheng asked.

"Ah? No, of course not." After Ke Zhiyan answered quickly, he was silent for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "Okay, a little bit."

"Afraid of Joanna?" Wei Cheng asked hesitantly. She had met Joanna a few times before, and she had also seen Ke Zhiyan get along with her. She understood that this "fear" was of course not just a superficial fear of Joanna. But she didn't know how to ask without any trace.Wei Cheng dared not mention Lunna's name in front of Ke Zhiyan.

"Well, specifically, it's Lunna." Ke Zhiyan leaned against the sink, silently clasping the edge of the table with the fingers of his right hand.She was half-lowering her head, but suddenly raised her head after saying this, and exactly bumped into Wei Cheng's unprepared and astonished expression.

Ke Zhiyan smiled successfully as a prank, "I'm not afraid of this name. It's okay if you mention it casually. What I'm afraid of... Actually, I can't get out by myself. Every time I go to Joanna's place, I will think of the past. It’s actually like a secret base where my bad memories are sealed.”

Wei Cheng didn't know how to respond, she didn't make a sound, and the room fell silent for a moment.After a while, Ke Zhiyan smiled again, this time she pulled the corners of her lips, as if forced to show a smile: "My state may last for a long time, anyway, in the previous ten years of treatment, it was only Just so I can look like a normal person on the surface."

Wei Cheng finally remembered that she had to make a statement this time, she said "um", paused and said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

Ke Zhiyan let out a "puchi" laugh, she looked at Wei Cheng for a few seconds, smiled and shook her head: "Straight man."

During the next treatment time, Wei Cheng handed Ke Zhiyan to Joanna, and she herself found a corner where Ke Zhiyan could see her, but she would not disturb the treatment.Joanna acquiesced to the third person who appeared during the treatment, but Wei Cheng still tried her best not to notice the movement there.

At the end, Ke Zhiyan's eyes were still red, Wei Cheng didn't ask what was going on, she smiled at Joanna friendly as farewell, and stopped Ke Zhiyan to take her into her arms as much as possible. "Your sister is at the door, shall we go home directly?"

"Hmm." Ke Zhiyan huddled in Wei Cheng's arms, most of her eyes were covered, and she confidently handed over the task of leading the way to Wei Cheng. "I want to eat cake."

"Okay, let's wait and buy."

"And Coke."

"Pfft, happy fat house."

"Ah."

"Chen Zhi has to worry about your weight again."

"It's not like Wanmi has never run before."

"Eh. Forget it, it's okay to be unrestrained once in a while, Chen Zhi will understand."

Ke Zhiyan buried her head in Wei Cheng's arms, and closed her eyes with the help of the dim light covering her eyes.

Ke Zhiyan went home and locked herself up for a day, Ke Lvyan showed no expression, Wei Cheng smiled reassuringly at the worries of the two elders: "It's okay, just let her be quiet."

Wei Cheng's smile successfully comforted them, and when she went upstairs again, kneading her brows, Ke Lvyan leaned against Ke Zhiyan's closed door, raised her eyebrows and asked her, "How is it?"

"Don't worry." Wei Cheng said.

Ke Lvyan nodded, half of his heart was put down, and he glanced at the "Do Not Enter" wooden board hanging on the door, and cursed angrily: "Damn child."

Wei Cheng patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it will get better."

The two of them have been guarding the door of the room, and fortunately sat down cross-legged when their feet were numb. The carpet at the door was newly replaced, but no matter what, Wei Cheng didn't care much about it now.

Until the Christmas Eve dinner was served at night, Ke Lvyan finally knocked on the door: "Hey kid, it's getting dark, don't be too self-willed, Mommy will worry."

After about a minute, a listless voice came from the room: "Where's Wei Cheng?"

Wei Cheng quickly said, "I'm here."

"Have you had lunch?"

Wei Cheng said, "I've eaten it, how about you? Are you hungry?"

Ke Lvyan let out a snort from his nose, "Forget about starving her to death."

The door was suddenly opened.Ke Zhiyan was still wearing the same clothes from the morning, the hair on the back of his head was bristling, his drooping eyes raised to look at them, then lowered again.Wei Cheng took a quick look at her, and then focused on her right hand.

The sleeves of the pullover were pulled up a little bit, exposing the skin underneath, and the wrists were wearing wrist guards, which could not be seen clearly, but the skin color was normal, and there was no redness or bruising around it.

Wei Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Ke Zhiyan say, "I'm a little hungry, is there any meat for tonight?"

"The turkey is already roasted, let's go downstairs, Miss Sleeping Beauty." Ke Lvyan said angrily.

Ke Zhiyan smiled at Wei Cheng, and took the initiative to hold her hand.
