Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Sheng Huainan raised his head to look at the menu on the wall, and happened to meet Luo Zhi's wry smile. It happened that a large row of seats next to Jake was vacant, and the boy who yelled just now led a girl in pink to sit there, and turned to greet the other two couples.Only Sheng Huainan stood there looking at Luo Zhi and smiling. "What a coincidence." He came over. "Yes. I bring my younger siblings to play." "The second elder brother, the fifth, the sixth, and his wife and siblings from our dormitory came and dragged me here too. Where are your younger siblings sitting?"

Luo Zhi pointed it out to him, and found that the boy who yelled just now was talking to Jake. It happened to be her turn to buy things at this time.After she ordered, she returned to her seat with the plate, and Sheng Huainan followed her with an ice cream cone in one hand. "Here, your ice cream." The two children glanced at Luo Zhi, Luo Zhi nodded, so they took it, raised their heads and nodded politely at Sheng Huainan, "Thank you brother." "Don't eat it." The boy who didn't know his seniority snatched the cone Sheng Huainan handed to Jake, "I asked your name, why didn't you say anything? I won't give it to you unless I tell you."

Luo Zhi is helpless, this method is not bad for 5-year-old children, they are a fifth grader and a sophomore, what are they doing. "Jake." Jake replied coldly. "Just say no, Jack, right?" The boss grinned and handed the ice cream over. "Jake." Jake still had the same cold expression, took the ice cream and turned his face away from him. "What?" The boy was embarrassed, the girlfriend behind him smiled a little stiffly, and wanted to say something, but there was no movement for a long time. "Jake, his name is Jake." Luo Zhi divided the contents of the dinner plate into two parts and put them in front of the two children respectively. "I'm having a fight, don't mind." She smiled at him comfortingly.

"Who's making trouble?!" Jake suddenly raised his head, staring at Luo Zhi with a flushed face. "You." With a smile on the corner of Luo Zhi's mouth, she folded her arms and looked at him coldly.The child was the winner of the eye contact, and after a few seconds, he lowered his head and muttered. "Eat first, don't be self-willed, I will take you to play with the big balloon on the water that I saw on the road later." Jake didn't speak, but still picked up the fork awkwardly. Luo Zhi has been watching his battle with the Filipino maid and his younger sister with cold eyes for the past six months, and has mastered countless tricks, so it is naturally easy to subdue him.After all, the best way to deal with a child is not to pester him.

Sheng Huainan interjected at the right time. "By the way, let me introduce, this is Luo Zhi, my high school classmate, now in the School of Economics of our school. This is the second brother and his wife in my dormitory, the fifth brother and younger brother, the sixth brother and younger brother. Three pairs of long-distance relationships, they take advantage of I came to Beijing to play during the holidays, so we happened to come to Happy Valley together." "What a coincidence." Luo Zhi smiled. There were two children between her seat and them, but Luo Zhi vaguely heard that several people gathered together and were teasing Sheng Huainan and Luo Zhi.As long as a single man and a woman say a few words, everyone can smile ambiguously—no malicious intentions, just warming up the scene and looking for topics.

Tiffany's mouth is never idle during meals, Luo Zhi always remembers to bring Jake into the topic while responding to her weird questions. Luo Zhi vaguely felt that at home, Jake had always been unlikable. "Why are your younger siblings in Beijing?" Suddenly, Sheng Huainan stood behind her. "Actually, I'm their governess. Part-time." Sheng Huainan was very curious, "Oh, what are you teaching?" "English, math, violin, storytelling, reciting Tang poems, and watching Tiffany's private wardrobe fashion show and... walking the dog." Luo Zhi said that she was a little embarrassed afterwards.

He smiled and looked at her with twinkling eyes. She wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue in a panic. Could it be that she ate it all over her face? "Playing with you this afternoon, don't you mind?" Luo Zhi looked at the other six who were noisy, and frowned slightly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to play together." "I mean, just me, with you guys." She looked up at him in surprise, Sheng Huainan spread his hands, and said helplessly, "It's very six plus one, more painful than I imagined." Luo Zhi smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents, she lowered her head and asked Jake, "Let's take this brother with us this afternoon, shall we?"

The moment Jake turned to look at him, Sheng Huainan showed a harmless smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and Luo Zhi was also a little dumbfounded. Jake didn't refuse, just nodded and said, "No problem." Saying goodbye to the gossipy faces, Sheng Huainan put his hands in his pockets and asked Tiffany with a smile, "Where do you want to go next?" Tiffany buried her little head in the map, and after a while, she raised her head and said loudly that the Flying Ants haven't played yet, and there were too many people queuing up just now. Luo Zhi raised her head to look at the turntable with many small chairs hung by ropes, and breathed a sigh of relief, very well, this grown-up can also play.

However, Jake, who has never spoken, suddenly said stubbornly, "Childish. I want to play the sun car." The God of the Sun Chariot, Luo Zhi smiled, it was that big Frisbee swinging around in the sky that was always squeezing the screams of the tourists. Tiffany screamed, "No, brother, that's scary!" "You're annoying. You play your game and I play mine." The scene suddenly froze, Tiffany's mouth was flattened, and the golden beans fell one by one. "I knew my brother didn't want me." Turn around and run away. Which one is this?Luo Zhi immediately raised her legs to chase after her, although her head was still dizzy.A thunderous scene.

She hugged Tiffany in her arms, "Miss, calm down." Tiffany was crying loudly in her arms, Luo Zhi held her with one arm, and reached into the backpack behind her back with the other hand to take out a facial tissue, then knelt down and wiped it carefully for her. "My brother ignores me. I stopped going to America with my mother to accompany my brother. He always ignores me, saying that everyone likes me and dislikes him, that we all laugh at him, and that he is not born to my mother... " Luo Zhi's scalp was a little numb, she didn't want to continue this topic.

"Did my brother get into a fight with the classmates in the class, so he got angry at home?" "No, he was unhappy at home and ran to the class to vent his anger." Jiong, this girl is in tears, but her mind is still clear. "My brother even quarreled with Uncle Shewen. He threw away all the things that uncle gave us. Uncle is so kind to us. My brother is just..." Luo Zhi coaxed so much that she didn't want to inquire about anything, but her brain began to use her imagination irresponsibly.Could it be that their mother is getting remarried and the little boy is throwing tantrums because of it? Uncle Wen... She remembered that the photo albums Tiffany showed her were basically photos of a family of three enjoying their family life, enjoying themselves happily all over the world.There is only one photo of her mother and a young man on the coast that makes Luo Zhi very unforgettable--seeing the photo, only one word comes to mind, a pair of lovers. No intimacy, just standing side by side.The handsome man's dark gray shirt was wrinkled by the sea breeze, but Tiffany's mother had short hair and was still leaning softly on the railing. The corners of her white skirt fluttered and was smudged by the setting sun. She was not as beautiful as a mortal. woman. Tiffany's mother told her outright before that she was divorced and was raising two children alone. "Tiffany talks a lot and is always restless. She's smart, but she's also a little smart. As for Jake, I'm sorry for him. There are women everywhere in the house, and I don't have time to care about him. I rarely let him see anything. His personality is a bit like little Jia Baoyu, and he only played with girls when he was in school. I originally wanted to find a boy as a tutor, but I am not at home all year round. He is reasonable, which makes him a bit boyish. In fact, when I was in the United States, a good friend of mine tried to change him, but failed.” Luo Zhi remembered that Jake, who was already in the fifth grade, clamored to hear her tell a story.She had wanted to scare him with a little scary story. "Suddenly there was a flash of light in the woods. Marianne followed cautiously, and suddenly saw—" "What?" Tiffany was careful not to listen. "It must be a fairy!" Jake shouted excitedly from the side. Fairy...she was choked on the spot by Barbie lover Jake. Luo Zhi looked thoughtfully at Tiffany, who still couldn't stop talking, and knew that the crux of the whole matter was not her, so she didn't comfort her, but just patted her on the back and let her complain, anyway, her temperament always That's right, it's good to cry. Luo Zhi didn't want to enthusiastically figure out the ins and outs.The less you know about your employer's affairs, the better. Turning his head to take a look, Sheng Huainan was half squatting and talking to Jake. It seems that Luo Zhi has not fully realized the important fact that she is already alone with him, and it is in this playground where love is omnipotent. The autumn afternoon sun shone on her body, and she nestled in her arms a beautiful little girl with red lips and white teeth, watching from afar as Sheng Huainan comforted another naughty little boy with crooked eyes and good-natured smiles. It seemed, like a young couple mediating disputes over their children.She had never expected such a scene. I don't know how long he stared stupidly, Sheng Huainan seemed to feel her fixed gaze, and turned his head to look at her, Luo Zhi lowered his head in a hurry, his ears seemed to be scorched by flames, and he knew what color it was without looking in the mirror. She seldom blushes, but when she is shy, her ears will turn red immediately. "Luo Zhi, how about this, you take the two of them to play Flying Ants first, and I will line up for Jake's sun car. I estimate that I will queue for more than an hour. You can see if there is any small event you want to ride , you can come to me after all the sitting. Call me.” He walked over and said to Luo Zhi, but there was a narrow smile in his eyes, as if laughing at her embarrassment just now. After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and asked Jake, "How are you?" Jake nodded meekly. "Then go and apologize to my sister." Jake returned to his original shyness and coyness. With repeated encouragement from Sheng Huainan, he came over and said to Tiffany, "Don't cry, I was wrong." "What did you tell him?" Luo Zhi tilted her head and asked Sheng Huainan. "Our man's secret, isn't it?" He looked down at Jake and smiled, ghostly. "I'm sorry to trouble you." She felt a little sorry. "You're welcome, go to the Flying Ants, I'm going to line up." Luo Zhi took Tiffany with her left hand and Jake with her right hand, walked a few steps forward, looked back hesitantly, Sheng Huainan's back was still very conspicuous in the crowd. Sheng Huainan also turned around suddenly, meeting her gaze. Her head buzzed and she smiled in his direction, then turned around and hurried forward. He never looked back.She followed suit for three years in high school, and he had never looked back without reason like this. "Juno, do you like big brother?" Tiffany peeked at her mother-in-law before she wiped away her tears. Luo Zhi didn't scold her for talking too much, but just asked in a daze, "Huh? Is it that obvious?" "Your hands are sweating." Tiffany smiled wickedly. Jake let out a long breath from the side, looking at them both with contempt. "Bored woman."
