why not

know.

Zhu Hanyu came here with his grandfather, but when he saw Xie Huaijin, he left his grandfather and came straight here.

"Huaijin..." He smiled, and when he was about to say hello, he noticed Yue Xiaolou beside her.

It's really hard not to notice that the two of them are holding arms and have an intimate relationship.

It wasn't the first day that Zhu Hanyu knew Xie Huaijin, so he looked at Yue Xiaolou a few more times, and he always felt familiar, so he couldn't help asking: "Have we met before?"

He didn't wait for Yue Xiaolou to answer, he remembered, "Oh yes, you are Tongtong's friend..."

Xie Huaijin looked at them strangely, but said nothing, the elders were already calling them to come in and talk.

"Are you on a good relationship?" Zhu Hanyu was curious, looking at Xie Huaijin, intending to ask her to introduce her.

"Very good," Yue Xiaolou said with a sweet smile, "Couple relationship."

Xie Huaijin nodded, said hello, and walked in front with Yue Xiaolou.

Zhu Hanyu froze in place, thinking for a long time, his smile froze in the cold air.

... a pool of blood.

The conference hall is furnished in all Chinese style.

Mr. Xie was sitting in the main seat. Originally, the elders were talking about business, but Xie Huaijin and the younger generation would not join in the fun.Because it was the elders of Zhu's family who came, he was the grandfather who watched her grow up, so she and Gu Linzong were called to sit down.

Xie Huaijin took Yue Xiaolou to sit beside him, drinking tea with him.

Knowing that they have business troubles, they need to ask grandpa for help.She is not interested in Gu Linzong being able to get involved.

Xie Huaijin lowered her voice, "Do you know Zhu Hanyu?"

"Well," Yue Xiaolou helped her make tea, and said briefly, "His sister, Zhu Tongtong, used to travel with me, so we had dinner once. If he and you are world friends...you grew up together ?"

Xie Huaijin said "Oh", and explained obediently: "It's a family friend, but it doesn't count if you grew up together. He is at the same school as my university, so we have a little more communication? Maybe."

"He likes you?"

Yue Xiaolou's tone was questioning, but it wasn't that he wasn't sure about his own words.

With that look in his eyes, Yue Xiaolou knew what was going on at a glance.

"Yeah." Xie Huaijin didn't have anything to hide.

Yue Xiaolou was silent for a moment, squinted at Zhu Hanyu, who was obviously a bit stupid, and hummed softly, "Then has he confessed his love?"

"Yes, Jiang Huiwen probably lied to him when he was in college. He held roses, wore yellow clothes, and pulled a banner at the school gate to confess his love."

Also invited a group of people to flash.

Then Xie Huaijin didn't look sideways, pretended to be a passerby and walked away.Half a circle around the road.

"Do you even remember what color clothes he was wearing?"

Yue Xiaolou's tone was slightly sour.Poured her a cup of tea. Her grandfather taught her a lot about tea ceremony, so she had a very beautiful posture. "How do you remember it so clearly?"

"Good memory."

Xie Huaijin raised her teacup and said with a smile, "It's my birthday today, so... I'm asking you for a gift."

"..."

Yue Xiaolou was stunned, and even forgot about Zhu Hanyu's topic, "Isn't your birthday in autumn? When is your birthday again?"

Xie Huaijin smiled disapprovingly, "I lied to you before."

Recalling the situation back then, Yue Xiaolou was stunned for a while, feeling deeply cheated.

"..."

No wonder.

Before she found Xie Huaijin's office, she secretly checked her, and when she saw a birthday that didn't match what she remembered, she took it for granted and found a reason for her.

It's normal for children of officials to use aliases when they go to school.

original……

"Sinister," Yue Xiaolou couldn't help laughing, and muttered in a low voice, "Sinister, cruel... and sinister."

"Yeah." Xie Huaijin recognized it all.

Under the table, holding her hand, "It's too late, I can't escape."

"What gift do you want?"

"I'll ask you again when the time comes, remember to give it."

Her suggestive words made Yue Xiaolou's heart beat fast, thinking of something inappropriate for children.

Humming and chirping, he nodded swayingly.

Xie Huaijin laughed teasingly, "Okay."

Yue Xiaolou looked into her eyes, realized later, and said a little worriedly, "You don't want to trick me to have fun, but you are afraid that I will get angry, so you should get vaccinated in advance?"

"Use yourself to judge others."

"Huh? So it's not right?"

"The heart of a villain."

"?"

Mr. Xie sent away the guests before worshiping the ancestors.

The Xie family ancestral hall was built like a scene in a movie, simple and majestic, but also quiet and holy, with a thin line of smoke rising from the incense held in his hand.

Before going in, Gu Linzong leaned over and told Yue Xiaolou, "Let me tell you, you can make a wish in my family's ancestral hall, and it is very effective..."

Before he finished speaking, he was called over by his own father.

Yue Xiaolou looked at Xie Huaijin with question marks all over his face.

Xie Huaijin had no choice but to explain a little bit: "He...every year, if there is a project that he can't handle, he will talk to himself for a long time like making a wish in a temple when he burns the last incense stick, repeating many times what is the above question, Ask the ancestors to help him."

Yue Xiaolou: "... and then is it very spiritual?"

"It's the elders of the family. They don't think they should bother their ancestors because of this kind of thing. After the ancestor worship, they will help him find a way to solve it. However, one year he made a wish for a sports car when he had nothing to do. When he came out, he was beaten up by his grandfather."

"puff"

The red tape has been cut down again and again, the juniors follow their elders in order and burn three rounds of incense.

Xie Wenjun is the boss, following behind his grandfather.Standing side by side with his wife.

Xie Huaijin followed behind him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Yue Xiaolou.

She can come in to worship the ancestors together, which fully reflects the meaning of Mr. Xie.The relatives who followed were only thinking about worshiping their ancestors, and half of them surrounded them.Oh my god, Xie Huaijin really brought a daughter-in-law home to worship the ancestors...

Xie Huaijin's mother pinched her husband, and said in a deliberative tone: "According to the rules, should we stuff red envelopes for our children? How much is appropriate? Too much is a bit difficult to take, give a card?"

"Hey, let's talk about it tonight..."

It was their turn to serve incense.

……

Yue Xiaolou worked hard to learn the rules of worshiping ancestors, but he didn't get distracted from thinking about other things.She found that the Sanlun incense was different every time she was handed it to her hand, and she didn't understand the details, as long as she held it in her hand, she could understand the quality of the incense by the texture.

The third round of incense, obviously longer.

Yue Xiaolou was slightly distracted, thinking, Gu Linzong will have to make another wish later...

The candlelight was dim, and time seemed to flow slowly in the silent space.

The ring finger is slightly cool.

Yue Xiaolou froze for a moment, turned her face, and saw Xie Huaijin wearing a ring on her left ring finger.The diamond light is gorgeous, already shining brightly in the dim ancestral hall.

Xie Huaijin didn't look at her expression, put his hands together, imitating Gu Linzong's way of making wishes in the past.

There was a slight smile on the corners of his lips, and his expression was correct: "The ancestors bless Yue Xiaolou to be carefree, safe and happy all his life, and... always love me the most."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and paused for a moment with great sincerity.

"Are you ready?" After a while, Xie Huaijin opened his eyes, turned his face to the side, and asked with a smile to Yue Xiaolou who was stunned beside him.

"Um……"

Xie Huaijin pulled Yue Xiaolou to stand up, stepped aside, and watched the people behind continue.

"Where are you like this..." Yue Xiaolou looked down at the diamond ring in his hand, his eyes were a little red, he blinked quickly, and whispered against her, "I'm about to cry, what should I do."

"Be patient," Xie Huaijin approached, holding her hand and placing it in his own, with a teasing smile, "It's not convenient for me to coax you with so many elders."

Yue Xiaolou wanted to say why it was inconvenient.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, thinking that when she was crying, she would kiss her impatiently until she couldn't cry...

Yue Xiaolou shut up and remained silent.

In the ancestral hall, the ancestor worship is almost over.Gu Linzong followed at the end, knelt on the futon, finished offering incense, joined hands in worship and made a wish, "The ancestors are above, the unworthy descendants Linzong wants a townhouse..."

There is no trouble this year, so I hinted that the elders would give him some pocket money.

In short, Gu Linzong will never waste the opportunity.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Gu Linzong was called by Mr. Xie to have a heart-to-heart talk again.

Yue Xiaolou suddenly thought, "Didn't you say today is your birthday and you want a gift?"

"Well, there are already."

"what?"

The smile on Xie Huaijin's lips deepened, "The ancestors have been sacrificed, and the rings have been put on. Yue Xiaolou, from now on we will really have no life but death."

"..."

"When did you buy the ring?"

Yue Xiaolou smiled, his tone was soft, and he looked at her steadily.

"Fool."

Xie Huaijin held her hand, with her ring finger close to her ring finger, "Didn't you realize that this is a pair?"

Xie Huaijin always wears a ring on her hand, as if she has never seen her take it off, it is a simple silver ring, inlaid with sparkling small carat diamonds.Yue Xiaolou asked about the origin of the ring before.

She just said that married status is less troublesome, and she wore it on purpose.

I didn't expect it to be a ring.

"How did I know you bought the ring so early."

The corners of Yue Xiaolou's lips curled up, and the light of diamonds fell into the crescent-shaped eyes, tilting his head very childishly, softly and happily.

"Xie Huaijin, you are a person who has planned for a long time to come suddenly."

"I'm just looking for you," Xie Huaijin didn't deny, "so, you can't escape."

Yue Xiaolou was overjoyed, smiled for a while, and said softly: "I think so too."

Chapter 46 046

The ancestor worship is over.

When Xie Huaijin returned home, she rushed to the case at hand, the police, the procuratorate, and the court.For several days in a row, I could barely close my eyes.Finally made up for the delayed work.Then there is the short-term business trip.

Yue Xiaolou felt very distressed.

After moving in together, she started to study recipes from a cooking idiot who didn't know what celery looks like, and now she can cook home-cooked dishes.Of course, she learned it secretly without telling Xie Huaijin.

I want to give her a little surprise.

When Xie Huaijin returned home, the cold wind turned into the heating of the air conditioner, she closed the door, unzipped her coat and opened it.

Yue Xiaolou stepped on the slippers and walked over, two steps away from her, stopped, didn't say anything, stood in front of the porch and looked at each other, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of longing.

"come over."

Xie Huaijin smiled, seeing her little expression, her heart melted, and she opened her arms, "Give me a hug."

Yue Xiaolou immediately rushed over and threw himself into her arms.

Her chin rested on her neck, and the warmth of her embrace made her voice a little hoarse, "Do you miss me? Although you should first ask if the work is hard..."

"It's not hard, I really think about it."

Xie Huaijin reached out and touched the top of her hair, hugged her for a long time, and finally remembered to take out something from her pocket.

"I bought you a present."

"Huh?" Yue Xiaolou stretched out his hand and blinked at her curiously, "What is it?"

Very simple packaging, the bow is easy to loosen.

Open the small drawer of the box, and on the fine black satin lies a shining silver medal necklace, the pattern is a cute little penguin.

"There are still two final cases this year, which can be completed before the end of the year."

"Wait for the New Year, do you want to go to Antarctica together for the New Year's Eve?"

Xie Huaijin spoke softly, with teasing smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.

Yue Xiaolou, who was very moved at first, suddenly said: "......"

Before she went on a business trip, when the two chatted, they talked about pandas eating bamboo, and Yue Xiaolou said that bamboo trees are so special... Xie Huaijin said that bamboo is not a tree but a grass.

Yue Xiaolou didn't believe it right away, saying that if bamboo is not a tree or grass, then the penguin is not a bird but a fish.And she also said that if the bamboo is grass, she might be able to sit on a penguin and visit the Antarctic continent.

Here comes the last bet.

then,

Yue Xiaolou lost the freedom to play with his mobile phone while hiding under the covers at night...

Yue Xiaolou looked at the naive penguin necklace in his hand, and was speechless for a few seconds. He raised his eyes and stared wide-eyed Xie Huaijin, and asked seriously: "Is your intelligence used to bully your wife?"

"..."

Xie Huaijin smiled and nodded happily.Reach out and pinch her puffy cheeks.

Let go quickly, because she just came back from outside and her hands are a bit too cold.

Yue Xiaolou was also taken aback by her icy hands. He stuffed the penguin necklace back into the box and shook her hand, "It must be cold outside."

"Well, it seems to be a little frozen..."

Xie Huaijin stopped talking, and suddenly found that her white and slender hands folded to cover her hand, and there was a fresh bloodstain on the pulp of the index finger of her left hand facing up.

She grabbed her wrist and looked carefully, two or three cuts were not serious.

It was obviously a knife cut.

"What happened to the hand?"

"Just...don't be careful." Yue Xiaolou withdrew his hand and looked at her with an innocent face, "Are you hungry, have you had lunch yet?"

It hurt while cooking.

It's not that she cut vegetables carelessly, but she was a bit of an idiot herself. When washing the kitchen knife, she saw that the blade didn't seem too sharp, so she reached out and touched it twice.Pure curiosity.

Once or twice.

Then, I saw blood slowly oozing from the fingertips that touched the blade...

Don't have the face to say it.

"Why not be careful..."

Xie Huaijin wanted to ask a few more questions, but Yue Xiaolou hurriedly dragged her in.

"That's right, I haven't eaten yet! I'm starving to death!"

The porch blocks the line of sight, and when you walk into the living room, you can see the dishes on the big dining table, with the dishes and chopsticks.

"Ordered takeaway?"

Xie Huaijin approached and saw that it didn't look like it was sold outside, so she immediately reacted.

Glancing at her hands, he didn't speak.It turned out to be the hand that was injured by cooking.

Seeing her slight frown, Yue Xiaolou immediately sighed and admitted his mistake with a bitter face: "I will be more careful in the future."

"Don't make a fuss about it."

"For the first time offender, please ask the chief judge to deal with it lightly, or don't give a sentence."

"It's just a small cut."

"..."

Xie Huaijin sat down, the corners of her mouth moved, "Did I say anything?"

"Although you didn't say anything," Yue Xiaolou handed her chopsticks and sat opposite her, "but you wrote a lot of words on your face, densely packed with criticism of my trial and strong distrust. Isn't it, presiding judge? "

Xie Huaijin took the chopsticks and smiled, without denying it, only said: "There is no doubt."

"Cut," Yue Xiaolou snorted. Seeing her taste the food with chopsticks, she couldn't help but secretly look forward to it. Unfortunately, she didn't say anything, and her expression control was at the level of a goddamn master.

Yue Xiaolou couldn't analyze it, so he could only ask, "Is it delicious?"

Xie Huaijin didn't speak, and after tasting all the dishes on the table, he commented flatly: "The fish was fried for too long and it was burnt, the vegetables were too oily, and the braised meat was not tasty."

Yue Xiaolou's expression suddenly collapsed, he held back his mouth, and said a little aggrieved, "Okay, then don't eat it."

Xie Huaijin was noncommittal.After all, I still try to eat more than half of the dishes as much as possible, and only put down the chopsticks when I can't eat any more.

Taking out a piece of paper, she wiped her mouth slowly.

Yue Xiaolou lowered his eyes, he was still disappointed when he finished his meal.

She had tasted it herself just after making it, and she didn't think it was bad, but of course it wasn't any outstanding delicacy.Now that Xie Huaijin said that, she racked her brains to think
