Halfway through the car, Yu Hao's cell phone vibrated in the armrest box. While waiting for the red light, she lowered her head and glanced.

"Are you free next week?"

She withdrew her gaze and looked forward, her gaze indifferent.

After a while, the phone vibrated again, and another message came in.

"Angry?"

Yu Haogang parked the car into the community and took out his mobile phone from the armrest box. "I was driving and didn't look at my mobile phone."

Without waiting for a reply, he sent another message, "I have to go to another place with the professor for a seminar next week, and I won't be back until the week after."

"Okay, pay attention to safety."

Lu Huaizheng rubbed his neck and finished speaking those few words, threw the phone back to Li Hongwen, turned around and left, but was stopped by Li Hongwen, "Wait a minute."

"You again?"

Li Hongwen asked someone to take out his cell phone and looked at Lu Huaizheng who said seriously: "You should think carefully about your words on Saturday. You can't make Lao Li feel embarrassed. Don't just fool around with me. Do you hear me-"

Lu Huaizheng waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

Li Hongwen added: "After the matter is settled this time, I will give you one more day off."

Lu Huaizheng gave up and said, "No, I can rest as long as I want. If I take one more day off, the deputy team leader will have to support me for one more day. He also has a wife and children, so there is no need to give me any special privileges. I said, as long as you don't give me the old age again in the future."

Just the daughter of Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang."

Li Hongwen: "Everyone in the team who is younger than you is getting married. Do you think we are not in a hurry? Okay, if you like that student Lao Han, then hurry up and catch him and get the matter sorted so that you can concentrate on it."

Work."

"I usually don't concentrate on my work?" Lu Huaizheng raised his eyebrows.

"Go away, go away, I'm too lazy to talk to you."

…

When Yu Hao returned home, she discovered that Shen Xiyuan was also there. When she took off her shoes and went in, Shen Xiyuan was playing military chess with Comrade Lao Yu. They heard the door lock click and both of them looked over.

Lao Yu held a chess piece and greeted her, "You're back?"

Yu Hao hummed and nodded towards Shen Xiyuan, who responded with a smile like a spring breeze.

Feng Yanzhi came out of the bedroom, glanced at Lao Yu, and urged him impatiently: "Aren't you going to cook?"

Lao Yu finally found someone to play chess with him, but how could he let him go so easily? Although Xiao Shen was not very good at playing, it could at least make him enjoy the chess addiction. How could he just withdraw his troops and watch the chessboard with nostalgia?

He waved his hand and said: "Next one."

Feng Yanzhi threw a pillow over and hit Lao Yu's bald head impartially.

Old Yu came back to his senses, put away his things in disgrace, and sighed: "Go right away, aunt."

Shen Xiyuan also stood up and asked warmly: "Do you need help? Professor Yu?"

Lao Yu pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down, "No, you are a guest today. Sit down."

Feng Yanzhi leaned on the sofa, turned off the TV, and asked Yu Hao to put the chess away. He looked at Shen Xiyuan leisurely, from top to bottom, from his hair to his toenails. He smiled very gently. Old Yu

I feel like I haven't seen this smile for decades.

Feng Yanzhi was born beautiful and took good care of herself during her old age. She has an elegant temperament and is particularly elegant and gentle when she smiles: "How did you learn abroad?"

Shen Xiyuan sat on the sofa, arched his back slightly, and said modestly: "It's okay."

"You have been modest since you were a child." Feng Yanzhi asked bluntly, "You haven't had a girlfriend yet, have you?"

Shen Xiyuan said, "Not yet."

Feng Yanzhi: "You and Yu Hao grew up together, and we have a good relationship..."

Yu Hao interrupted him directly, "Mom, dad called you."

Feng Yanzhi glared at her impatiently, "Don't make trouble." Then he looked at Shen Xiyuan with a smile, "Xiao Shen, I think you are not young anymore, so don't delay it any longer. Your parents should be worried too." Bar? "

Shen Xiyuan nodded and smiled, "I'm quite anxious, but I really can't rush this matter. I haven't met the right one so far. Even if you say I'm anxious, I can't rush it."

Feng Yanzhi glanced at Hao, "Don't you have any ideas about Hao?"

Shen Xiyuan lowered his head and glanced at Yu Hao who was packing his things, and smiled gently: "Auntie, do you have any misunderstanding?"

Feng Yanzhi exclaimed, "Lao Yu said that you two had talked before, when Yu Hao was in college."

Shen Xiyuan nodded, "We talked about it at that time, and we broke up peacefully later. I won't go into details about the specific reasons, but I remember that Yu Hao and I kept this matter secret. How did my uncle know? "

Feng Yanzhi coughed, "When I was a freshman, Lao Yu said he saw you come back to see Yu Hao off, cough..." After saying this, he paused, and then glanced away with an awkward expression.

Shen Xiyuan remembered that it must have been that time and chuckled: "It was my problem. Later, when I was preparing to study abroad, I broke up with Yu Hao."

Feng Yanzhi said: "That's right, I thought you two must have broken up because you were going to study abroad. Now that you're both back, how about looking at everything?"

…

After dinner, Yu Hao was washing dishes in the kitchen. Shen Xiyuan helped her put the dishes and chopsticks into the drawer. They had a tacit understanding.

The night was as dark as water, and the moonlight fell gently from the window into the pool, reflecting little bits of water light.

"Don't take what my mother said today to heart." Yu Hao lowered his head and suddenly said, "She is crazy about wanting me to get married."

Shen Xiyuan turned his back to her, helped her drain the bowl of water, wiped it with a dry rag, lowered his head and said, "It's time for you to get married."

"You are four years older than me. If you want to get married, you should get married first."

Shen Xiyuan smiled and said jokingly: "Hey, why haven't you found a boyfriend in the past few years? You won't forget your old love for me."

Yu Hao retorted: "I can't forget my old feelings for you, so what should you do?"

"Have you really liked me? No, stop lying." Shen Xiyuan suddenly turned cold.

"Then don't ask, I'm afraid you'll be sad."

Shen Xiyuan scolded: "He has no conscience."

After a long moment of silence, Yu Hao drained the last bowl, put it aside, and said: "Brother, I have one last question for you."

Shen Xiyuan was not angry and said, "Say."

"What should you say when you meet someone you haven't seen for twelve years?"

Seeing her serious look for advice, Shen Xiyuan looked at her with keen sense of smell: "Who did you meet? Are you still asking me for advice in such a serious manner?"

Yu Hao turned around, wiped the bowl randomly, put it back in the cupboard, and whispered: "No one."

Shen Xiyuan: "As an ex-boyfriend, I have never seen you like this. Hey, senior brother is a little jealous."

Yu Hao ignored him, "He made an appointment with me on Saturday, and then said that he had something to do temporarily. Do you think he regretted it?" No, Lu Huaizheng then made an appointment with her next week, but she had to go with the professor to do field research next week. Then he didn't date her again.

Shen Xiyuan said: "Since a man has made a date, it means he still has feelings for you. He won't be the same kid as before, right?"

"...His name is Lu Huaizheng."

Shen Xiyuan rarely cursed, "Damn, it's really him." He folded the bowls, put them one by one in the cupboard, and asked, "What is that kid doing now?"

"air force."

Shen Xiyuan frowned: "He got in through some connections? With his grades, can he be admitted to the military academy?"

"The conscripts entered the military school in the second year. It doesn't matter." Yu Hao glared at him, "His history is no worse than yours. He knows many things that you may have never heard of."

Shen Xiyuan gave her a big slap on the head, "Is this your attitude when talking to your senior brother? Have you ever seen an old hen protecting her cubs? With your virtues, I want to see what he does for being such a big liar. I'm lying to you, even I, a person who has studied history for more than ten years, have never heard of it."

Yu Hao said nothing.

Shen Xiyuan leaned on the glass platform and relaxed, "What do you think?"

The moonlight shines quietly on the glass platform.

"I don't have any idea, I just feel that if my mother insists on forcing me to get married, he is the only person I can accept."

Shen Xiyuan suddenly looked up at her, with unclear emotions in his dark eyes: "I can't do it either?"

"no."

…

On Saturday.

After Lu Huaizheng finished his station training, he got off the plane and took off his gloves while walking back. He met Li Hongwen coming from the opposite direction and was stopped by someone, "You will go pick up Lao Li's daughter later."

Lu Huaizheng stopped and looked at Li Hongwen in disbelief, "Are you sure you want me to go?"

"Lao Li's daughter said that she was not very familiar with the road just after returning to China," Li Hongwen said.

"Let Lao Li take it." Lu Huaizheng rolled his eyes.

"If Lao Li asks you to take over, just do it. There are so many nonsense words, so why don't you become the leader?"

"No."

"Then will you answer it or not?"

"Take it!" Lu Huaizheng sneered, slammed his gloves on the chest of the squad leader behind him, and strode away.
