"That's the way it is. I'm telling you this to ask your thoughts." Qi Nuliang hesitated and looked at Jiang Yu, feeling embarrassed and hoping that he could say something.

But the kid looked at a certain point, didn't move, and didn't know if he understood the words.

After waiting for a while, Qi Nuliang said again: "Xiaoyu, I mean I'm with Bamei Rong, do you think it's okay?"

Only then did Jiang Yu turn to him slowly, expressionless: "Do you like her?"

Following the words that came out of his mouth, a scorching pain rose slowly from the bottom of his heart, and Jiang Yu clenched his fist behind his back.

Before he knew it, they had already developed to this point.

Qi Nuliang scratched his eyebrows, feeling uneasy: "Bamei is very nice. It is not easy for her to take Xiaodie alone, and we can take care of each other when we are together. When we get married, they will become family members. I It would be nice to think so."

"marry?"

"There's no rush. Now I'm just asking you if you can accept their mother and daughter."

In Jiang Yu's clenched fist, his nails pinched the flesh of his palm fiercely, using the pain in his body to maintain his sanity.

"Why do you ask me this kind of thing? You are married to Rong Bamei and become Song Rong Xiaodie's stepfather. You just have to accept it."

Hearing what Jiang Yu said, Qi Nuliang was a little anxious: "What are you talking about? It's not just me who wants to live with them, but you too. We all want to be together."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, but looked at Qi Nuliang with an indifferent expression.

"Xiao Yu, don't think about it. If I don't know how to get married, I will leave you alone. I will drive you to live in school or something. It's just that there is one more person to take care of you." Qi Nuliang rubbed his palms on his trouser legs, "Baby and I My sister discussed it, just you and Xiaodie, no other children."

Every word of these words seemed to add fuel to the fire in Jiang Yu's chest, and his heart was slowly burning on this fire.He even forgot whether there was such an unbearable moment in his short life.

"You mean it's good, you want two more people in your family?"

"Two more people will make it more lively, saving us two men from staring at each other every day.

"I think when you start school, we will go to Hongzhong to rent a spacious house, and send Xiaodie to the elementary school in the city, so that it will be convenient to take care of the two of you who are studying, and you can go home to eat and rest every day. .Otherwise, running back and forth between the city and the daily chemical factory will waste time on the way.”

Qi Nuliang talked so much, and finally asked: "Do you think this is good?"

Jiang Yu felt desperate to be pushed to the edge of a cliff.This is not Qi Nuliang's whim, he has thought carefully about the days after being with Bamei Rong, and arranged all aspects.

He was serious, so serious that Jiang Yu couldn't say no.Because once he strongly opposed it, even if the two were forced to separate, Qi Nuliang would have a pimple in his heart afterwards and would resent him.

Jiang Yu clasped his hands together, and his ten fingers clung to each other tightly, trying to stop them from shaking uncontrollably.

He lowered his head slowly, as if he was thinking about this issue, and when he raised his face, he smiled at Qi Nuliang: "Brother, if you think it's good, then fine, I have no objection."

After saying this, he saw that Qi Nuliang's tense expression instantly relaxed, an excited smile appeared in his eyes, and he repeated in his mouth: "That's good, Bamei said that she will treat you like her own brother. Yes, and Xiaodie, the little girl likes you very much. That's great."

Jiang Yu laughed with him, as if he was happy for him, but that face was broken like a mirror, and the smile was torn apart.It's just that Qi Nuliang was so immersed in the joy of solving a problem on his mind that he couldn't see it.

"Brother, if there is nothing else, I'll take a nap first."

"It's okay, let's go. It's hot, remember to turn on the air conditioner."

Jiang Yu returned to the room, closed the door, his chest heaved, and he breathed heavily, as if he couldn't breathe.He grabbed the clothes on his chest, the pain seemed real, making his eyebrows frowned.

He bit the corner of his lip, suppressing the urge to cry, but the anger surging in his chest couldn't be stopped. With a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the desk to the ground, crackling.

Qi Nuliang heard the movement and knocked on his door: "What's the matter, fell down?"

"No, I accidentally kicked the table with my foot, and the lamp fell off."

"Are you ok?"

"fine."

"Be careful yourself. I'll go out and call if I have something to do."

The entrance door opened and closed, Jiang Yu came out of the room and stood by the window.He saw Qi Nuliang downstairs got into the car, started the car, but didn't leave immediately. Two minutes later, Rong Bamei came out of the doorway, got into the car, and the two left together.

With a "click", he gripped too hard, and the curtain fell down.Jiang Yu glanced at the broken rail, threw the curtain on the cabinet by the window, and went out the door.

Rong Xiaodie was watching "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", her mother was not at home, so she could hear her voice in the corridor.

When she opened the door and saw Jiang Yu, she was pleasantly surprised, and handed him the ice cream in her hand: "Brother Jiang Yu...do you want ice cream?"

Jiang Yu glanced at the half-eaten and melted cheap cream in her hand, and said nothing.

Rong Xiaodie withdrew her hand: "I'll get you a new one, come in."

"No. You change your shoes, and I'll take you to drink milk tea."

"What is milk tea?"

"You'll know when you drink it."

There is no milk tea shop on the side of the daily chemical factory, only the commercial street in the center of Hongcheng.Rong Xiaodie had never drunk it, but she could imagine that it must be delicious, so she hurriedly turned off the TV and changed her shoes and clothes.

Under the scorching sun, Rong Xiaodie wore a layered pink princess dress, and within two steps, she was so hot that her face was covered with sweat.She kept up with Jiang Yu's pace, and when she caught up, she subconsciously grabbed his hand.This time Jiang Yu didn't shake her off and let her hold her little finger.

After walking to the side of the road leading to Hongcheng, I got on the bus.In the crowded carriage, Rong Xiaodie's long gauze dress was stepped on several times, almost tripping her.

Jiang Yu quickly supported her with his eyes: "Don't wear this skirt in the future."

"why?"

"It doesn't look good."

"...But I think it looks good."

Jiang Yu stopped talking, and Rong Xiaodie was not unhappy because of his denial, and continued to pull him.

Entering the milk tea shop, Jiang Yu ordered two cups of milk tea and a table of desserts.Rong Xiaodie sat across from him, staring at the snacks, but didn't dare to reach out.

"Eat, it's just for you."

"Thank you." Rong Xiaodie picked up the cake and took a small bite.

Her modest politeness and reserve were only shown in front of Jiang Yu.Jiang Yu couldn't take care of these, and couldn't wait for Rong Xiaodie to finish drinking the milk tea and eating the cake.

"Do you know that your mother and my brother are together?" Jiang Yu was afraid that Rong Xiaodie would not understand the meaning of these three words, so he tried to explain to her, "Being together means..."

"Get a date." Rong Xiaodie continued his words.

"Your mother told you?"

"No, but I guessed it." Rong Xiaodie looked at Jiang Yu with a confident look.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Rong Bamei hasn't told Rong Xiaodie, there is still room for everything.But he also immediately darkened his face, even Rong Xiaodie guessed that these two people have not been together for a day or two, it seems that Qi Nuliang is waiting for his consent, so that he can officially announce it to the outside world.

"How did you guess that?"

"Uncle Qi always goes to the store to help, and he also comes to my house, but he doesn't stay overnight at my house. And my mother doesn't care about me watching TV and eating ice cream recently. I guessed it."

Jiang Yu didn't understand the logic of Rong Xiaodie's guess, and asked again: "If they get married, Qi Nuliang will be your stepfather, do you not object?"

Rong Xiaodie shook her head: "Uncle Qi helps me fight bad guys, I want him to be my father."

Jiang Yu smacked his lips, the matter was a bit difficult.

"Have you ever thought that when they get married and have a child, and you are not his own, he will not treat you well. Your mother will also like the newborn child more, and no one will like you then. Look at Da Bin in the yard, his father helps his stepmother beat him every day."

When Rong Xiaodie heard this, she stopped chewing and lowered her head.

Jiang Yu observed her expression and felt that it would be interesting to start with Rong Xiaodie.

It is more effective for Rong Xiaodie to object than him to object, the key is to pick him up and prevent Qi Nuliang from blaming him for it.

"If you don't want them to marry..."

Rong Xiaodie suddenly raised her head, and said indifferently: "No one likes it, no one likes it, anyway, my mother doesn't like me either, she loves her life, she loves whoever she likes."

"..."

Rong Xiaodie snorted and drank the milk tea, drank all the soup and water in one go, then tore off the lid, and ate the small ingredients inside.

"Are you really not afraid of being beaten later?"

Rong Xiaodie stared at Jiang Yu with big round eyes like Rong Bamei: "If they get married, you will really be my brother, right?"

"No, according to your seniority, you should call me uncle."

"Uncle Jiang Yu, it's a bit strange." Rong Xiaodie took out all the small ingredients and ate them, and hiccupped, "But it's okay."

"You are really easy to pass." Can't help but sarcastically, Jiang Yu leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded, and looked at Rong Xiaodie expressionlessly.

In Rong Xiaodie's impression, Jiang Yu always had such a face, rarely with other expressions.But with the same face, she could feel that Jiang Yu was angry at this moment.

"Brother Jiang Yu, are you angry?"

Jiang Yu didn't speak.

"Do you not want my mother to be with Uncle Qi?"

"Yes."

Rong Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, then sighed very maturely: "I know, you hate my mother..." She lowered her head, and her hands that were pressed on the dining table slipped down, "You hate me too."

"I can't say whether I hate you or not."

"It's all the same, anyway, you don't want to be my brother, and you don't want to be my uncle."

Jiang Yu acquiesced.

"Okay. What do you want me to do to keep them from being together?"

Jiang Yu stared at Rong Xiaodie, he underestimated this girl.

"It's very simple. When your mother asks you if you want Qi Nuliang to be your father, you say no, and then make a big fuss. Every time you see them together, you will cry. But remember, you have to wait After your mother explained this to you, did you understand?"

Rong Xiaodie nodded: "But I think it's useless, my mother will beat me up, and then do what I should do."

"It will be useful." Jiang Yu stretched out the little finger that Rong Xiaodie had just pulled, "That's it, don't tell anyone, this is our secret."

Rong Xiaodie hooked her finger up and nodded emphatically.
