Chapter 74(1/2)
The next morning, Zou Kai woke up from his sleep and saw that the fishing line on his wrist was still wrapped around, but Xu Lie was gone in the room.
Zou Kai used scissors to cut the silk thread, lifted the quilt and went downstairs, running all the way, shouting, "Dad - Mom - something is wrong!" Then he stopped at the entrance of the stairs with a sudden kick.
On the dining table, a family of four except him were having breakfast happily.
Lin Lan looked at him fiercely: "What are the ghosts roaring? I've made a box in my dream? I've gotten up after the sun was shining. Look at your brother and sister. I've prepared all the breakfasts for the whole family early in the morning!"
"Xiao Xu," Lin Lan was still fierce a second ago. When she turned around and saw Xu Lie, she smiled and said, "Your cooking skills are really great. Even Aunt Cao praised you. Let's be good, look at how lazy I used to be. With Xiao Xu, my spirit is different!"
Su Hao and Xu Lie looked at each other.
This mental outlook is a must.
I couldn't sleep last night, so the two of them elope to make a Christmas Eve date. When they rushed home at dawn, they sneaked in from the old place with windows. Unexpectedly, Aunt Cao happened to walk down the stairs.
Su Hao had an idea and pulled Xu Lie into the kitchen nearby, pretending that the two of them got up early due to the jet lag, and just went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
Aunt Cao was moved all morning by this.
Su Hao smiled under the table and gently scratched Xu Lie's legs.
Xu Lie quietly held her hand and hinted her not to make trouble.
Zou Kai couldn't see the little movements of the two, and opened his mouth wide and glared at Xu Lie: "Brother, are you getting up secretly to make breakfast?"
Xu Lie nodded seriously.
"Then why didn't I wake up when you left the room in the morning?" Zou Kai clenched his wrist in disbelief.
"You are sleeping well, talking in your sleep, and I'll give you a handful of 16." Xu Lie's face was not blushing and his heart was not beating.
Su Hao shook his head: "I can't even pick up a chicken with 16, so I have to ask someone for it, why didn't I make any progress?"
Lin Lan pushed Zou Kai and rushed him upstairs: "Look at you, you can't even play a game in your dream. Hurry up and wash up, don't be embarrassed!"
Zou Kai touched his head and returned to the room.

After breakfast, Su Hao was sleepy.
Lin Lan and Zou Yu went to work, but Aunt Cao and Zou Kai were there at home. She couldn't help pulling Xu Lie back to the room to sleep. She said she wanted to draw and went to the attic with him.
Su Hao's original intention was to find a quiet world of two people, but when he walked into the attic, he found that all the furnishings here had not changed at all as before, and suddenly he felt a little emotional again, remembering the thunderstorm night when he came here with Xu Lie for the last time.
She approached the easel, lifted the dust cloth, and saw the unfinished oil painting.
Xu Lie in the painting was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, sitting upright on the burgundy sofa staring at her.
Xu Lie came behind her and circled her from behind: "Do you want to finish the drawing?"
Su Hao thought about it and shook his head: "This is great."
When she was alone in the United States, she was very sorry that the painting was not completed. After meeting Xu Lie again, she felt that it might be a beautiful meaning to be continued.
Every seemingly regretful comma is because the story has not yet come to an end.
And now, the future is still long, so there is no need to rush to end.
Xu Lie smiled and pulled her to the red sofa in the corner, letting her sit on his lap: "That will help you turn bad memories into good ones."
It turned out that he also remembered that thunderstorm night.
Su Hao rubbed forward and surrounded his neck: "How did you change?"
"Didn't you let me sleep with you last night?" Xu Lie rubbed her head and pressed her into her arms, "Go to sleep."
"I was bored, I thought I could dance on my brother's abs." Su Haoshu leaned against him comfortably, yawned, and his fingers slid restlessly along the row of buttons of his shirt.
Xu Lie grabbed her fingertips and surrendered with a smile: "Don't let me be here."
Su Hao understood his subtext.
Xu Lie is afraid of itchyness, and his waist and abdomen are particularly sensitive. Every time he poked it, he would be hard all the way. For her, his abdominal muscles are the most familiar strange muscles, and they can only be seen from afar and not played with them.
But she hasn't even been able to see it from afar recently!
Thinking of this, Su Hao made up his mind secretly. He must not be trapped here again tonight.
*
Perhaps it was because the sky had eyes, and when she heard Su Hao's voice, she gave her and Xu Lie the opportunity to stay at night.
Su Hao woke up after a sleep and received news from the group that Wenming, Li Mao and Chen Xingfeng heard that she had returned to China yesterday and asked her to have a Christmas party together tonight.
Xu Zhili, who had an appointment with her, was also familiar with the three of them. Su Hao communicated with both sides. Seeing that neither side had any objections, he finalized the party and showed the screenshot of the chat record to his uncle and aunt, saying that there was a class reunion tonight, and he really had to have fun all night and wouldn't go home to sleep.
Regardless of whether Lin Lan and Zou Yu believed it or not, they agreed to her on the contrary.
Su Hao happily brought a group of participants. Before he could introduce Xu Lie, Wenming, Li Mao and Chen Xingfeng asked the "x" alone.
In the past six months, Su Hao and these people have a twelve-hour time difference, and they don’t have many opportunities to chat and show their love in their circle of friends, so they don’t know that she and Xu Lie have reconciled.
Miao Miao knew about this, but she was studying in a college in another place and couldn't come today and was not in this small party group.
When Su Hao saw the reaction in the group, his hand that was about to type suddenly paused.
Wenming, Li Mao and Chen Xingfeng's memories are still stuck in the fact that Xu Lie has been transferred to school silently and she is depressed and depressed. In everyone's eyes, she is the one who was dumped by a heartless man. It seems that Xu Lie is very sad to see her face, and it is hard to finish the introduction and say something deliberately to "He came to the United States to find me to get me back."
This kind of message should be revealed naturally during meetings and chats. By the way, Xu Lie can express it well and give her enough face.
So Su Hao kept the mystery and simply said: "Take a friend."
*
Because the cosmetics were not around, Su Hao and Xu Lie went to the hotel in the evening. After they were ready to dress up, they went around and went, and arrived at the hot pot restaurant a quarter of an hour later than the agreed time.
Along the way, Su Hao and Xu Lie's cell phones vibrated from time to time, and neither of them went to see them because the vibration frequency was the same, and it was probably because the group was urging them all the time.
When Xu Lie pushed open the door of the box, Xu Zhili's voice came out: "Don't urge her, I must have been tired all night last night."
"What are you tired?" This is the question that Wenming and Li Mao spoke in unison.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they looked up and saw Su Hao and Xu Lie, and they both widened their eyes.
Chen Xingfeng was also stunned, and his eyes slowly swept over Su Hao and Xu Lie.
"Isn't this Sister Su's ex-boyfriend? I'm not dazzled, right?" Wenming rubbed Li Mao's eyes.
"What the hell do you think you are dizzy about rubbing my eyes!" Li Mao patted Wenming on the back of his head.
Su looked at them with a funny look.
After not seeing each other for more than a year, Wenming is still the idiot Wenming, and Li Mao is still the idiot Li Mao.
Chen Xingfeng has changed a little, his buzz cut has long and his clothes are no longer sloppy. He looks like he is not that social.
"I'm not dazzled, my boyfriend is here." Su Hao walked to the seat and took off his coat while answering their questions.
Xu Lie nodded to everyone, took her coat and shoulder bag, hung it on the clothes rack next to her, and moved to nature.
"Ah?" Wenming looked at Su Hao, then looked at Xu Lie, "Didn't you two break up long ago?"
Su Hao tweaked his hair and read out the lines he had preset in his heart: "Some people insisted on going to the United States to pester me and chase me back, so I reluctantly won't be able to turn back."
Wenming and Li Mao suddenly realized, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Xu Lie.
Xu Zhili saw Su Hao pretending to behave like this and burst into laughter.
Su Hao's face was gloomy and showed a warning: "Are you laughing at me?"
Xu Zhili shrugged and looked at the two people who obviously didn't sleep well with a smile: "Tsk, you two are busy at night, and you still have to sleep!"
Su Hao hadn't asked Xu Zhili to calculate the accounts of yesterday's sexy underwear, so he gave her a fierce look: "Shut up!"
As a result, Xu Zhili closed her mouth, but Wenming and Li Mao became curious: "What are Sister Su busy with tonight?"
Su Hao: "..."
Xu Zhili knocked the heads of the two with chopsticks: "What do you think you are busy with? Are you two doing this for nothing this year?"
Wenming and Li Mao opened his mouth round, and the eyes of Xu Lie became more complicated.
Xu Zhili shook her head and glanced at Chen Xingfeng: "Brother Feng, your two younger brothers are not as good as their sex education."
Chen Xingfeng took his eyes off Su Hao and raised his eyebrows at Xu Zhili: "Then you give me education."
"Can you stop joking, starving to death!" Su Hao glared at them.
Wen Ming immediately picked up a plate of snowflake beef: "Which pot should Sister Su take?"
"Red Soup." Su Haonunu's chin.
"Why no one asked you Sister Li," Xu Zhili directed, "I want clear soup to nourish my skin."
After the pork shabu was put into the pot, the attention on the dining table gradually shifted from the two focus points of Su Hao and Xu Lie, and began to chat about family matters.
Xu Lie was just to accompany Su Hao tonight, and didn't speak much. He kept picking up food for Su Hao until the second half of the meal, Xu Zhili knocked out two cigarettes from the cigarette box and asked him and Chen Xingfeng: "Do you guys smoke?"
Chen Xingfeng picked up one.
Xu Lie shook his head and said, "Give up."
Xu Zhili looked at Su Hao: "Your girlfriend is so strict?"
