But then again, being considered an adult actually has a good side...

After thinking about some messy content in his mind, Qiao Yu took out his cell phone and called Qiao Xi.

Since the old man specially found Teacher Wen to help him take leave, there must be an arrangement.

But to be honest, Qiao Yu really didn't like to go out at this time. The main reason was that he was not used to the style of the capital.

Even in the clear weather, the temperature was only a few degrees. The wind in the capital was strong. A gust of wind blew over, and Qiao Yu felt that he could blow his mind away.

Before coming to the capital, Qiao Yu felt it was too exaggerated every time he saw the literary works describing the wind blew on his face like a knife. But after staying in the capital for a winter, he had a deep understanding.

This is not exaggeration at all, it is so realistic!

There is no way, the winter in Xingcheng is actually cold, but the kind of wet cold. The one in Beijing is dry and cold, even the wind is dry, as if it can blow the skin to crack. It is still the most comfortable indoors.

"It's over?" As soon as the phone was answered, Qiao Xi's lazy voice penetrated into his ears.

"Well, the get out of class is over! Teacher Wen just said, Grandpa Shi helped me take a day off. Alas, I'm one year older unknowingly."

"If you have itchy skin, just say it. If you have nothing to do today, come here. Let's go to the Ao to have a meal together in the evening."

"No, I will celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Why do I go to the Academic Institute tonight? I won't celebrate my birthday in advance!"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? You will know when you come. Let me tell you there is a surprise in advance."

After saying that, Qiao Xi hung up the phone...

surprise?

Qiao Yu knew very early that everyone’s understanding of surprises is actually different.

For example, what Qiao Xi thinks is a surprise may be a frightening thing for him.

My mother Qiao Yu knows her very well and often doesn’t like to play according to common sense. Most of these are inherited from her grandfather…

To be honest, many of my grandfather’s ideas were actually rebellious back then, which is probably the reason why Qiao Xi’s ideas are very different, and now he seems to be the same.

For example, how can a mother think about her child’s early love every day?

Well, early love... I went to the Academic Institute for dinner...

On the way to Qiao Xi's place, a possibility of surprise suddenly surged in Qiao Yu's mind...

So he took out his cell phone in the cold wind, clicked on WeChat, and opened Xia Keke's chat window.

"Classmate Keke, you have come to Beijing, but you didn't even say to me in advance. What do you think? Don't deny it, I'll tell you that the whole Huaqing is my eyeliner!"

After the message was sent out, it didn't reply for a long time. Qiao Yu simply sent a WeChat video again, but unfortunately no one answered it for a while.

Forget it, it was too cold. Qiao Yu put his phone back in his pocket again. At first he suspected that he might have made a wrong judgment...

However, thinking that Xia Keke might be with Qiao Xi, Qiao Yu felt that his judgment might be correct, and before he knew it, his pace still accelerated a little.

...

Qiao Yu's judgment is indeed correct.

In the warm two bedrooms and one living room, Xia Keke was sitting in front of the TV with Qiao Xi, chatting like in Xingcheng, watching the boring soap opera.

It was mainly Xia Keke talking and Qiao Xi listening.

In fact, this has happened since I was very young. Compared with Liu Lu and Lao Xia, Xia Keke prefers to share some unique little secrets with Qiao Xi.

This is probably related to the particularity of Lao Xia’s family’s work. When they are free, Xia Keke has to go to school and do homework. They may not be able to stay at home on weekends.

When Xia Keke was in the winter and summer vacations, they started to take off again. This is also the reason why Xia Keke followed Qiao Yu to play everywhere every winter and summer vacations.

The two little ones were tired of playing during the day, and Xia Keke always didn't want to go to grandparents or grandparents' house, so she slept directly at Qiao's house.

There is no way, when parents are away, the generation gap between children and the elderly is unfathomable.

So from this point of view, Qiao Xi, who has never had a job since he was a child, has spent more time with Xia Keke.

Even Qiao Yu's grandfather took Xia Keke and Qiao Yu out to play more times than Lao Xia and his wife.

The phone was shocked. Xia Keke took out his phone and looked at it. Then he saw the message sent by Qiao Yu. His face, which was already excited, suddenly became bitter.

"Oh, aunt, Qiao Yu knows that I'm here?"

"Oh? Let me see what he said?"

Qiao Xi reached out to look at the phone, curled her lips and said, "Silly girl, is he cheating you?"

Then Qiao Yu sent a video request, and Qiao Xi threw the phone aside.

Xia Keke glanced at the phone that was ringing all the time, and asked subconsciously: "Is it a cheater?"

"Absolutely, I will follow the person arranged by Mr. Yuan to pick you up. How could I be so bored to tell Qiao Yu? As for the whole Huaqing is his eyeliner, do you really dare to believe it? He brags!"

Qiao Xi said disdainfully, and then said earnestly: "You are all grown up now, and you must have your own opinions. Don't listen to that boy Qiao Yu fooling each day. In short, you can follow the agreement before and leave the others to me."

"Oh." Xia Keke suddenly became depressed and responded in a depressed mood.

"What's wrong? I'm unhappy when I was cheated by him?" Qiao Xi asked with a smile.

Xia Keke shook his head and said melancholy: "No. I feel that the gap with Qiao Yu is getting bigger and bigger. When he was in Class 13 in junior high school, I still felt that we would definitely get together in the future. But now I am becoming more and more uncertain."

Qiao Xi rarely sat upright and said, "Your idea is wrong. What does the gap mean? What is the gap between emotions? What can there be a gap?

And don’t you understand Qiao Yu? This kid is a typical hot-tempered person on the outside and cold-tempered person. You see, he is very enthusiastic about everyone, but he can have some true feelings. It’s hard to get into this kid!

At least you must be invincible in this area. Qiao Yu has protected you since he was a child, and he is really good to you. Not to mention that you have been friends who have fought together since childhood!

Just like you said, Qiao Yu can help you realize any wishes you had when you were a child. Who else can get this treatment? Even now, I have never seen him really care about a few people.

So, don't be discouraged. I still hope you can help me with that brat in the future! If I leave one day and there is no one to restrain him, I am really afraid that he can poke a hole in the sky."

The last sentence Qiao Xi said it very seriously. She was really worried about this...

Principal Zhang, Tian Yanzhen, and Yuan Lao, through their rich life experience, they realized that there may be some areas in Qiao Yu's personality that are not as satisfactory.

But Qiao Xi is the person who knows Qiao Yu the best.

It’s like she actually knew some of the things that Xia Keke had reconciled in front of her before, and even knew more about them than Xia Keke.

Especially the time Qiao Yu took revenge on his classmate's father.

I specially made a stone with edges and edges on the curb. If it weren't for the fact that the children were responsible for the implementation, it would be impossible to follow Qiao Yu's plan completely. If the stone really hit the vital point, maybe there would be no one...

Qiao Xi still remembers asking Qiao Yu at that time if he was not afraid of something big, what if someone died?

Qiao Yu replied indifferently: "That means that he has done enough bad things in daily life and God can't stand it anymore. What does it have to do with me?"

That day was the only time she beat Qiao Yu in her life...

Yes, Qiao Yu was so old that she was beaten that time. That day she was so tired that she started to feel thrust and her head started to hurt. She couldn't hold on anymore, so Qiao Yu started to cry.

But Qiao Xi was not sure how much effect it could have. Even from that day on, Qiao Yu began to become very enthusiastic about everyone around him.

But Qiao Xi knew very well that this kid was pretending, and if he did such a thing, he would hide it from her and not tell her. She also knew that this kid was not afraid of being beaten at all, but simply because he was afraid that her head would hurt again.

How to say it? It is indeed good to have a son like Qiao Yu. But Qiao Yu's indifference towards others' bones is actually very scary. His heart is not big enough and he will really worry about being afraid every day.

After all, with Qiao Yu's character, he either does not cause trouble. If anything happens, it will definitely be a big deal. It's just these things that Qiao Xi can't tell Xia Keke about.

"Well, Aunt Qiao, I understand." Xia Keke clenched his fists and said excitedly.

"That's right, if you think so, if two people want to be together, the most important thing is relationship. There is nothing to be worthy of. Besides, if you want to match, how can you be considered a match?

Family background, wealth, or wisdom? Do you think Qiao Yu's personality will care about these things? All he cares about is he and a few people around him.

Think about it, in the future, Qiao Yu really wants to meet a strong woman who can compare with him. Two people are plotting every day, so what life will they live?

Is it really a happy thing to live like the protagonist couple in the House of Cards? Alas…”

Qiao Xi said casually.

Xia Keke nodded ignorantly. She had never seen the House of Cards and didn't know what the life of the protagonist couple in the House of Cards was like.

However, when Qiao Xi said this, she felt it seemed very reasonable, and the depression before disappeared.

"I understand, then, Aunt Qiao, from now on, I will call you little mother when we are together, okay?"

Xia Keke asked with his head turned around.

"OK."

Qiao Xi smiled, then reached out and pinched the girl's face full of collagen. I have to say that being young is good, the touch is very smooth and tender...

At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Coco, I know you are inside, don't find a place to hide it, come and open the door! Really, to give me a surprise, I locked the door. Is it necessary? Can I guess?"

Qiao Xi winked at Xia Keke. Xia Keke still stood up and entered the room, while Qiao Xi lazily went to open the door.

"Where is Xia Keke?"

Qiao Yu walked into the door, glanced at Qiao Xi, and then changed his shoes while muttering: "I said don't play such a childish game. Do you want to say that you are busy today, so you locked the door?"

"I didn't seem to say that she didn't come. Coco has indeed come, but he's gone out again and should come back when he's having supper."

Qiao Xi said without changing her face.

Well, there was actually something strange, but Qiao Yu couldn't see it either, because Qiao Xi turned around and walked towards the sofa.
