Halfway through the meal, ye Zhiqiu's mobile phone on the table rang again.

Just now she has cancelled the mute.

Huo Zhongxiao looked at his mobile phone and put the braised meat plate with only lean meat in front of her. He put his firm chin in front of her to answer the phone.

Ye Zhiqiu saw the call. It was the Ye family's landline. She didn't avoid Huo Zhongxiao. She picked it up in front of him: "hello?"

"Qiuqiu?" the nanny of the Ye family asked uncertainly.

"Well, it's me, aunt Wu. What's up?"

"Why didn't you answer the phone just now? The old minister thought something had happened to you and called your dormitory. He almost didn't go there in person."

Ye Zhiqiu replied, "my mobile phone is silent. I'm outside now. Did grandpa call me just now?"

There was a noise at the other end of the phone, and then came Ye Jiming's voice: "where are you now? Your classmates in your dormitory said you were not at school all afternoon."

"I was in Wanda, so I went out to see movies, go shopping and go back to school later."

"Alone or with friends?"

Ye Zhiqiu raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her. He didn't look at himself, but she suddenly didn't want to lie to her grandfather that she was with her classmates. She could only vaguely say, "with friends."

"Is it with ah Sheng?" Ye Jiming naturally thinks of the children of the Qin family. Generally, he is inseparable from his granddaughter.

Ye Zhiqiu gave a low hum.

Fortunately, ye Jiming didn't ask in detail: "go home and sleep tonight. Grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time. I don't know how to miss you today."

Thinking that there was only grandpa in such a big house, ye Zhiqiu couldn't refuse. If it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have driven ye zanwen out.

"OK, I'll go back after dinner."

"Is it convenient to take a bus there? Otherwise, Grandpa asked the driver to pick you up."

Ye Zhiqiu quickly refused: "no, No. there is still a subway now. It's very convenient to go back. You watch TV first and wait for me to read you a newspaper."

After hanging up the phone, ye Zhiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked up at Huo Zhongxiao. He hesitated when he answered the phone just now. He should look in his eyes and feel guilty. Thinking about what he had said, for fear that he would be angry, he immediately explained: "little uncle, I'm not unwilling to tell Grandpa about us."

The little uncle said three words, and she bit her tongue again.

But she could not care about these: "I don't confess to my grandfather because I'm afraid of him - I want to tell them when the time is ripe, will you be unhappy if I do this?"

"No, I would have done the same."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him in amazement.

In his ear was his deep, powerful but slightly gentle voice: "sometimes hiding doesn't necessarily mean that you don't care. It may be that you want to protect that person."

……

At 8:52 PM, the SUV stopped not far from the side door of the military region compound.

Like a tacit understanding, no one proposed to drive the car to the compound.

After the flameout, ye Zhiqiu held the seat belt in her hand, but suddenly didn't want to leave. Huo Zhongxiao didn't urge her. After a while, she looked at the man next to her: "what should I do? I don't want to go, AI ~"

"HMM." Huo Zhongxiao leaned against his seat and didn't unfasten his seat belt. "Then sit a little longer."

Then he raised his watch and fixed a time for her: "go back at nine."

Ye Zhiqiu tooted his mouth and was dissatisfied, but he also knew that he was afraid of his family. Sure enough, before long, the phone at home called again.

"Go in." Huo Zhongxiao turned his head and looked at her deeply and gently.

Ye Zhiqiu was moved when she saw it. She pulled the safety belt and said, "then send me there. My house is in the West. You hear the car on the east side. It's so dark. How unsafe I am a beautiful girl."

In fact, she could go in through the east gate first, but she just wanted him to send herself and stay with him for a while.

Huo Zhongxiao nodded. Now he almost answered her every request: "OK."

Ye Zhiqiu pulls up her lips, and the little girl's mind is satisfied.

……

Walking along the roadside where the trees are whirling, ye Zhiqiu suddenly stepped on the edge of the flower bed. Huo Zhongxiao subconsciously stretched out his hand and asked her to come down and walk well.

"Isn't there you?" Ye Zhiqiu grinned playfully, stretched out his arms to keep his balance and walked unsteadily.

Huo Zhongxiao stopped her.

But ye Zhiqiu knew that he had been staring at her. As long as she showed signs of slipping, he would rush forward and hug her for the first time.

She slightly lowered her head and looked at the slender figure who followed suit. Her mouth was slightly tilted. When she came to the west gate, she slowly stopped, turned around and looked at the man shrouded in the road light. Her face was slightly red. Her eyes were particularly clear against the mottled light of stars.

She seemed to muster up her courage: "there are ten steps to the door. I'll take five more steps. Would you kiss me?"
