Ruan Mohan still didn't look up, staring at the cat eating chicken sausage.

Just asked softly: "What do you mean?"

Jian Shuo smiled faintly.

Ruan Mohan felt that his sensitive ears were getting hot for some reason.

Jian Shuo walked to her side, also staring at the cat eating chicken sausage.

As if he was also greedy, he licked the corner of his mouth: "It's not interesting."

"I'm leaving."

She ran away like the wind, the first time she left so quickly on her own initiative.

Ruan Mohan didn't raise his eyes until then, looking at Jian Shuo's back and disappearing into the fire stairwell.

Even the back is coquettish and agile, shining brightly.

******

Jian Shuo came out of the Lingyin Building and called an online car-hailing car.

Most of the online car-hailing drivers are lonely, and this one also took the initiative to talk to Jian Shuo: "Miss, are you in a good mood today?"

Maybe it's because the driver doesn't describe it as wretched*, maybe it's because Jian Shuo is really in a good mood today.

She answered, "The weather is fine today."

As the driver started the car, she opened the window, reached out to the window, and spread her fingers.

The gentle summer wind passed through her fingers, as if being combed by her fingers.

Ruan Mohan's soft long hair also passed through her fingers like this again and again on Saturday afternoons.

The corners of Jian Shuo's coquettish mouth twitched.

When she asked that question just now, she asked what would happen if she could accept that she was a person with feelings.

Ruan Mohan's first reaction was not to refuse instinctively, but just asked: "What do you mean?"

This is enough for Jian Shuo.

She is willing to try for a possibility.

Even if it is difficult.

For example, right now, she is both excited and nervous about the destination she is about to go to.

I unconsciously wanted to say something, but found that the weird songs I knew were not suitable for today's good day.

She took the initiative to ask the driver: "Is there any song suitable for good days?"

"Yes, let me play it for you!"

The driver turns on the car stereo.

"Don't forget this night, don't forget this night,

Regardless of the ends of the earth and the ends of the sea... (Remark 1)"

Jian Shuo recalled it carefully: "Isn't this the Divine Comedy of the Spring Festival Gala?"

The driver nodded enthusiastically: "Yes!"

"..." Jian Shuo: "How old are you? Why do you like listening to this kind of song?"

"I'm retro and nostalgic."

"Then why did you dye your purple hair?"

"I'm trendy and nostalgic at the same time."

Jian Shuo bickered with the driver all the way, and soon, she arrived at her preset destination.

She licked her lips, wanting to ask the driver to drive her away, but she still got out of the car a little coyly.

In front of her is Beicheng CBD, a high-end shopping mall.

She went in and walked to what looked like the most expensive maternity and baby products store.

Maybe it's because Jian Shuo looks very rich, so even though she had a face of "I'm super fierce", the shopping guide still warmly greeted her: "Miss, what do you need to buy?"

Jian Shuo licked her lips: "There is a girl who will be born next month."

"Is that so, is it your relative or a friend's child? Anyway, congratulations." The shopping guide said with a smile on his face, "What gift do you want to give?"

"Bottle nipple warmer?"

"Tub towel balm?"

"Onesie bib cape?"

Jane Shuo: ...

She listened to the first two words, and couldn't bear it anymore and called Ruan Mohan.

Ruan Mohan didn't answer the first one, so she called again.

The second one, Ruan Mohan hung up directly, and she called again.

The third one, probably because Ruan Mohan was too troublesome and afraid that Jian Shuo would keep calling him, finally accepted it.

A cold voice came: "Hello."

Jian Shuo directly asked, "What gift do you want for the newborn?"

"Huh?" Ruan Mohan seemed confused by her.

In fact, from the last time she saw Ruan Mohan's daughter, Jian Shuo was basically sure that her daughter was not Ruan Mohan's own.

Ruan Mohan didn't look like she was married, or even in love, and her daughter didn't look like her at all.

But when she thought of how Ruan Mohan was extremely protective of the little girl, she was still very upset.

The tone became vicious: "Ask what gift you gave the newborn!"

Ruan Mohan's tone was even colder: "It's not like Baidu knows about me."

She hung up the phone directly.

Now it was Jian Shuo who was taken aback.

Hey, she's never seen a better guy than her.

After hanging up the phone, she found that the shopping guide was still looking at her with a smile on her side. Jian Shuo said, "Give me a set of everything."

Shopping guide: "Miss, the total price is not low."

Jian Shuo glanced at her: "Do you think I am short of money?"

The shopping guide's smile deepened, he packed everything neatly, and personally sent Jian Shuo to the online car-hailing car she had ordered in advance.

******

Late at night, in the small garden in front of Jian's house.

Jian Shuo crouched behind a bush of roses, looked at her phone, it was already eleven o'clock.

Looking up at the sky, the sky has changed from a magnificent purple to a thick black.

She squatted until her legs became stiff, and pounded twice, then looked down at the huge paper bag beside her.

Inside were the baby products she bought just now, and on the outside of the paper bag, there was a cute little baby with a dull hair on its head and an innocent smile on its face.

Jian Shuo made a grimace at the baby: "Ee Ee Ee Ee."

The baby is still giggling.

Jian Shuo pouted, and looked at Jian's house again.

There was still a warm yellow light in the room, and some people were still awake.The balloons arranged on Children's Day last time have not been taken down yet, and the house with a pointed roof surrounded by balloons looks more like a fairy tale house in the night.

Jian Shuo muttered and complained, "Why aren't you asleep..."

Finally, after waiting for a while, the lights in the room were turned off.

Jian Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched her legs: "Oh, I couldn't make a gift today because they were all resting too late, not because I didn't dare to go in."

She giggled, picked up the paper bag on the dirt, and threw it on her shoulder indifferently.

Humming a little tune and swaggering away:

"Don't forget this night, don't forget this night,

Regardless of the ends of the earth and the ends of the sea..."

The online car-hailing driver who came to pick her up was taken aback: "Miss, it's only June, so it's still early before Chinese New Year?"

Jian Shuo laughed: "You know what!"

******

At the gate of the friend's house, Jian Shuo got off the car.

She felt that she was in a really good mood today, so good that she went home to sleep like this, and she felt a little bit unlucky.

She walked to a 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the community. She wanted to buy a piece of ice cream, but remembering her "great achievement" in defeating a child with three ice creams last time, she bought three directly.

Sitting on a bench at the entrance of the community, I tore off the packaging of the three sticks.

The last time she stuffed three ice creams into her mouth together, it made her mouth hurt, but now she holds them side by side.

left middle right.Do, come, mi.

She shook her head and greeted the three ice creams one by one.

The high-end community where my friend lives is already low-density, and it's almost twelve o'clock, and there are few people walking around.

The only "person" in front of Jian Shuo was the baby printed on the paper bag beside him. Jian Shuo held the ice cream in front of the baby: "Would you like to eat?"

The baby still had a smirk on his face and didn't answer.

Jian Shuo made another grimace: "Eh, if I don't give it to you, it's all mine."

She didn't bite again, her lips were slightly parted, and she swiped from left to right, and then from right to left on the three ice cream sticks side by side, making a "Zi Liu Liu" sound, like running a train.

Jian Shuo swayed from side to side, shaking herself a little dizzy, she thought in the dizziness, the reason why she felt in a good mood today was not just because of Ruan Mohan.

Ruan Mohan just gave her an opportunity, an excuse, to give her a reason to do, maybe something she always wanted to do in her heart——

If she really reconciled, what would Yang Haining do to her?

What would Yang Haining do to her if she stopped being a freak and became an ordinary person who abided by social rules, such as giving gifts to Bai Jingxian's upcoming child?

She couldn't imagine it, because from the beginning of her memory, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren has been like this.

Yang Haining spoke coldly to her and didn't care.

She had a bad attitude towards Yang Haining and scolded him directly.

Gradually, she turned into a cold, cruel freak.

This is her counterattack to Yang Haining, and it is also her way of attracting Yang Haining's attention.

But Yang Haining obviously doesn't like her.

Jian Shuo thought about it countless times: Why does Yang Haining hate her so much?

Because she is a girl?Because her mother died when she was born?Because her father died when she was three?Do you think she is the dead star of Jane's family?

It wasn't until Bai Jingxian married into Jian's family, filling the position of "mother" in Jian Shuo's heart to a certain extent, that Jian Shuo stopped deliberately attracting Yang Haining's attention.

But Yang Haining told Bai Jingxian many times: don't be too nice to Jian Shuo.

Now, Bai Jingxian is going to have her own child. After seeing Xiaoxuan's child, Jian Shuo feels that she can somewhat understand this matter.

After Bai Jingxian's child was born, Jian Shuo only had Yang Haining again.

Jian Shuo thought, even if it was for Ruan Mohan, she could show kindness to Bai Jingxian's child, and use this as an opportunity to reconcile with Yang Haining.

After all, after seeing Xiaoxuan's child, Jian Shuo already understood that after she was born, her mother passed away, and it was still a long way before Bai Jingxian married into Jian's family.

At that time, the person who held her in his arms like a soft pudding every day was her grandma Yang Haining.

If Yang Haining can think of Jian Shuo's soft appearance when he was just born, then he can give her a little warmth, the late warmth that she lacked in her growth process.

Is there still a chance for her to be an ordinary person with feelings?

******

Eight o'clock on Wednesday night.

Once again, Jian Shuo, carrying the huge paper bag of baby supplies, came to the door of Jian's house.

In fact, when she arrived at Jian's house yesterday, it was not past nine o'clock in the evening.

But her heart was beating like a drum, she didn't dare to go in, and kept saying in her heart: It's too late, it's too late, they are all going to rest.

While waiting, she didn't dare to sit on the bench blatantly, so she squatted behind a bush of roses and hid.

Until the lights in the room were really turned off at eleven o'clock, she could finally say to herself legitimately: Look, they really had a rest.

Carrying the gift that I bought specially, I slipped away.

But today, with the courage that has been brewing all day and night, she came again.

I thought I was ready, after all, all the days when she was growing up, everyone thought she was like a vicious cat with nothing to be afraid of.

However, when she walked to the door of Jian's house, her heart beat again.

She could not hide another night behind the rose bushes today.

After thinking about it, she called Ruan Mohan.

Ruan Mohan answered: "Why?"

Jian Shuo: "No reason."

"I just want to hear your voice."

******

What Jian Shuo didn't expect was that Ruan Mohan directly hung up the phone again.

Jian Shuo cursed: "This old woman is really..."

Suddenly the phone rang and there was a text message.

Jian Shuo took it out and saw that the sender was "Canary" in her phone's address book.

It turned out to be Ruan Mohan?

Jian Shuo unlocked the phone and opened it.

It's a voice message.

Click to listen: "I am not a voice navigation."

What Ruan Mohan meant was, what's the point of listening to her voice?

Jane Shuo: ...

As if struggling, she kept poking the play button and played the voice message over and over again:

"I'm not a voice guide."

"I'm not a voice guide."

"I'm not a voice guide."

Ruan Mohan's cold and indifferent voice rang in Jian Shuo's ears all the time.

Jian Shuo suddenly thought: Just this sentence, why didn't Ruan Mohan just say it on the phone before hanging up, and why did he bother to send it by voice message?

Is it because the voice message can be replayed repeatedly, can she listen to it many times?

Jian Shuo didn't know if she was thinking too much, the corners of her coquettish lips curled up unconsciously.

She played the voice message again:

"I'm not a voice guide."

I don't know if it was Ruan Mohan's cold and familiar voice that gave her great courage, she took a deep breath, walked forward, and rang the bell on the heavy carved wooden door.

******

It was Jane's servant who came to open the door.

This servant has worked in Jian's family for many years, so he knows Jian Shuo.

Seeing that it was Jian Shuo standing at the door with a huge paper bag, he was obviously taken aback.

She didn't dare to let Jian Shuo into the house hastily, she just said: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask Madam."

Soon, there was an eager sound of slippers being pulled.

Bai Jingxian's slightly bloated figure appeared at the door with a surprised face: "A Shuo, why did you come home suddenly?"

"come on in."

Jian Shuo was about to take a step, when an elegant but indifferent voice sounded behind Bai Jingxian: "Don't let her in."

Bai Jingxian turned her head and smiled embarrassedly: "Grandma."

Yang Haining stood there leaning on crutches: "When she appeared last time, it caused a lot of farce, have you forgotten?"

"I also saw blood at my birthday party, how unlucky."

Jian Shuo bit the corner of her mouth: "That's not my fault."

"It's not me with the knife."

Don't go berserk.Don't be anxious.do not curse.

After getting to know Ruan Mohan, haven't you learned to endure this matter?Jian Shuo warned herself in her heart.

Yang Haining sneered: "The one holding the knife is indeed not you."

"But if you didn't play around outside without rules, would it cause that farce?"

"Do you dare to say that the mentally disturbed pre-listening employee stabbed you for no reason? Why didn't she stab someone else?"

Jian Shuo bit the corner of her mouth again and stopped talking.

Seeing the awkward stalemate in the atmosphere, Bai Jingxian broke her mouth and asked Jian Shuo, "What are you holding in your hand? Such a big bag."

Jian Shuo turned her head and looked at the vase on the long table in the hallway: "A gift."

"For your child."

As if very embarrassed.

Bai Jingxian quickly took it, and persuaded Yang Haining: "Grandma, you see that Ah Shuo has become sensible, and won't mess around like before, let her come in."

Yang Haining's face became even colder: "Are you giving a gift? Does Jingxian's child have anything to do with you?"

Jian Shuo sneered: "Of course it has nothing to do with me, it's not that I made her pregnant..."

She stopped.

If it continues like this, it will fall into the familiar pattern again, with the grandparent and grandson bickering and hurting each other.

not like this.

This time, Jian Shuo didn't go in directly wearing ten centimeter high heels, but deliberately stomped on Yang Haining's favorite old wooden floor, as if to make holes.

She changed her slippers obediently before walking inside.

Yang Haining asked coldly, "Who let you in?"

Jian Shuo approached Yang Haining, stretched out her finger, and touched the back of Yang Haining's hand.

She suddenly remembered the moment she touched Xiaoxuan's child, the baby's little hands were so soft and slippery.

And Yang Haining's hands, no matter how expensive the hand cream is used for maintenance, are like a dead leaf, so dry and astringent.

It turns out that Yang Haining is already so old.

Jian Shuo's throat moved slightly, and he called out: "Grandma."

It has been many years since she took the initiative to make such intimate gestures to anyone other than Bai Jingxian and Ruan Mohan.

Yang Haining was staring at her coldly, but now he lowered his eyes, ignored Jian Shuo, and walked into the living room on his own.

Jian Shuo froze in place.

It was Bai Jingxian who came over and reminded her: "Go in."

Jian Shuo followed in a daze.

Yang Haining still ignored her, sitting on the sofa by himself, listening to the Pingtan on TV,

Bai Jingxian looked at Yang Haining, then at Jian Shuo, sighed slightly, pulled herself together, and opened the huge paper bag that Jian Shuo brought.

She laughed: "Grandma, look, the ones Ah Shuo bought are so cute."

She picked up a small pink dress and a pair of small pink shoes, and held them in the palm of an adult, making them look only a little big.

Yang Haining snorted: "They are all things that can be bought with money, and the money she spent was not earned by herself, so it's a sign of her heart?"

Bai Jingxian persuaded: "Grandma, Ah Shuo has good intentions, this is the first step for her to become sensible."

Jian Shuo stood up.

"Sister-in-law, do you...do you want green grapes?"

Bai Jingxian was very surprised: "Do you want to eat?"

"No, I just... think the green tea is delicious, and I want to give it to you."

"I'll go buy it for you."

Bai Jingxian hurriedly stopped her: "There are all kinds of fresh fruits in the refrigerator in the kitchen, so you don't need to buy them."

"Then I'll wash it for you."

"Let the maid do the washing."

"I'm going to wash."

Jian Shuo walked away.

It seems to be responding to Yang Haining's sarcasm just now: They are all things that can be bought with money, so it is considered a gesture of affection?

Bai Jingxian looked at Jian Shuo's back and whispered, "Grandma, look, Ah Shuo has really changed."

Yang Haining stared at the back of his hand holding the crutch, and didn't speak.

******

Jian Shuo walked into the kitchen and asked the helper, "Where's Qingti?"

The helper took out the blue grapes from the refrigerator and handed them to Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo asked: "How to wash?"

"..." The maid said, "Second Miss, why don't I wash it."

Jian Shuo shook her head: "No, I'll wash it."

The helper had no choice but to teach her how to soak them in cleaning salt, how to scrub them one by one, and then rinse them off with clean water.

Jian Shuo stood in front of the washing basin to wash the green grapes, and felt that the floor mat under her feet was a bit in the way, so she stepped on it with her slippers and moved to the kitchen door at will.

Back in front of the washing basin, he lowered his head and scrubbed the green grapes one by one.

Maybe it's because Ruan Mohan gave her a bunch of green grapes, and now Jian Shuo thinks that green grapes are the most delicious fruit in the world.

So sweet.

She rubbed and washed the green tea, and felt that what Yang Haining said was right.

For so many years, the demons have roamed the world, acted recklessly, and caused so many troubles. It was Bai Jingxian who wiped her ass. Now that she gave Bai Jingxian a gift, it was not spent on her own money.

At least, she can wash a bowl of sweet green grapes for Bai Jingxian and wash them by herself.

She brought the washed green grapes to Bai Jingxian: "Sister-in-law, you eat."

The surprised look on Bai Jingxian's face has not subsided, as if she doesn't understand why Jian Shuo suddenly becomes so considerate and sensible.

She picked up a green grape, put it in her mouth, chewed it gently, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

Jian Shuo looked at her and asked softly, "Is it sour?"

"No." Bai Jingxian looked at Jian Shuo with a smile and shook her head: "It's very sweet."

Now that Jian Shuo is sure, Bai Jingxian's eyes are truly filled with tears.

Because Jian Shuo washed a bowl of green tea, moved to this extent?

There was a little confusion in Jian Shuo's expression.

However, Bai Jingxian should be the most gentle and affectionate person she has ever met.

Jian Shuo stared at the bowl of green tea, wanting to ask Yang Haining to eat it, but dared not.

Bai Jingxian helped her speak: "Grandma, you can eat some too, it's really sweet."

Yang Haining shook his head coldly: "No, I'm old, eating such sweet food at night will raise blood sugar."

Jian Shuo's eyes drooped.

"Why don't you leave?" Yang Haining asked Jian Shuo, "We are all going to rest."

Jian Shuo stood up: "Then I'm leaving."

Bai Jingxian followed her and stood up: "I'll see you off."

Yang Haining stared at the Pingtan on TV, but did not respond.

But when Jian Shuo walked out of the living room, he said coldly: "Hurry up on the way back, it's late at night, don't waste time by looking around."

Jian Shuo was taken aback.

When I looked back at Yang Haining, I found that Yang Haining had got up and walked to his bedroom.

Bai Jingxian sent Jian Shuo to the door: "You today..."

Jian Shuo was still the same as when she came here, her eyes were fixed on the vase at the entrance, she didn't look at Bai Jingxian at all.

Bai Jingxian smiled: "Relax, grandma is not here again."

"I just want to ask, why did you come here suddenly today? Are you still so...honest?"

Jian Shuo stared at the vase without speaking.

Bai Jingxian smiled gently: "Okay, I won't force you to say it."

"Go back quickly, be careful on the road."

She approached Jian Shuo: "Grandma, don't worry, she cared about you in the last sentence just now."

Jian Shuo gave a low "hmm".

Bai Jingxian: "Do you want to touch her before you leave?"

Jian Shuo looked up in surprise and saw Bai Jingxian holding her pregnant belly.

"Can I...can touch it?" Jian Shuo hesitated.

Bai Jingxian nodded with a smile.

Jian Shuo hesitated for a moment. For some reason, what sounded in her mind was the voice message Ruan Mohan sent her:

"I'm not a voice guide."

Even for Ruan Mohan.

Jian Shuo looked at Bai Jingxian's pregnant belly and stretched out her hand, approached, but stopped again.

Bai Jingxian smiled and took her hand, caressing her pregnant belly.

Jian Shuo was very surprised: "She can move."

Bai Jingxian smiled: "She will be born next month, she is a very strong little life, of course she can move."

Jian Shuo rested her hand on Bai Jingxian's pregnant belly, feeling the strange agitation of the little life.

It wasn't until the little guy calmed down that Jian Shuo carefully retracted his hand.

"Sister-in-law." She stared at the vase at the entrance and said, "Thank you."

Bai Jingxian said goodbye to her: "Be careful on the road."

*******

Jian Shuo took a taxi and got off at the gate of her friend's neighborhood.

She walked to the bench she sat on last time and sat down.

Recalling everything that happened tonight, she felt that she should sing the song "Unforgettable Tonight" again.

Yang Haining said to her in a cold voice: "Hurry up on the way back, it's late at night, don't waste time by looking around."

Jian Shuo pursed her lips.

This old lady, do you think that Jian Shuo can't tell that she cares about herself?

She is not stupid.

Jian Shuo hummed softly: "Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight..." She was going to go to that 24-hour convenience store to buy three ice creams.

The phone rang.

I took it out and saw that it was Bai Jingxian.

She recalled it again, and she didn't seem to have forgotten anything in Jian's house.

Still picked it up: "Sister-in-law?"

Yang Haining's ice-like voice came: "Get away from me in the future! The farther you are from Jane's house, the better!"

Jian Shuo was stunned.
