Ai Xiaoye's hometown is in the northwest of City A, a county-level city about 200 miles away. The small town is not very remote, there is a train going directly to City A, and it will arrive in more than 40 minutes. If you drive by car, it will take more than two hours to drive on the high speed.

Ai Xiaoye lives in a compound where all the neighbors in the compound are colleagues of her parents, watching her grow up. Because they are from her father's generation, they basically have daughters and daughters who are about the same age as her. Most people's main entertainment after retirement is playing cards, pushing mahjong, and comparing their children. As long as they meet, there are two questions that must be asked: What kind of job did you find? Are you married yet? If you add one more sentence, the third and fourth questions will basically not get away: how much money can you earn in a month? What does the boyfriend do?

They are too familiar, and they are elders, you really can't use "privacy" to block them. But if they were to finish eating the news and let them go contentedly, Ai Xiaoye would have the shame that he had just released from the police station.

Although she herself doesn't quite understand why she should be ashamed... But the pheromone emitted by those people will make you wonder from the inside out about what went wrong in your life.

So Ai Xiaoye really didn't want to stop chatting with them.

In order to reduce the chance of meeting, Ai Xiaoye dragged Julian out at 5 o'clock in the morning. When I got home, it was just half past seven. Only the doorman sweeps the snow outside after breakfast, no one else on the road.

Ai Xiaoye has a sense of accomplishment of "successfully breaking through the first level".

Snowing during the New Year is almost a tradition in this small town. There are not many high-rise buildings here, and the sky looks a lot clearer and clearer. The trees on both sides of the road were all withered, and the branches were covered with snow, like viburnum blooming all over, and a plump winter sparrow jumped on the branches and shook their heads to look at people. The buildings on both sides are a bit old, but they are well maintained. The red brick wall is lined with lush cedar, which is very quiet.

Ai Xiaoye finally found a parking space and stopped the car, and pointed to her window and said to Julian, "That's it."

Then she saw her mother beckoning to her from the balcony.

Ai Xiaoye got out of the car and beckoned to her mother with Bai Qi, and Julian stepped forward to wrap her with a scarf. The scarf was warm with his body temperature. Because it's men's, it's a little too big, covering half of her face. Bring her a scarf, Julian also raised her head and smiled at her mother and nodded.

Ai Xiaoye's mother took a deep breath and turned back quickly. After a while, her reluctant father was also pulled to the balcony.

Ai Xiaoye's father had served as a soldier, his face was ugly and fierce, but his personality was friendly and humorous. He glanced up and down at Julian, presumably in order to resolve his embarrassment, and put on a parade waving.

Ai Xiaoye "poof" smiled. Julian looked at her suspiciously, and Ai Xiaoye said, "I passed the initial stage. Have you got the gift? Let's go upstairs."

Julian bent his eyes again and smiled, leaning over to kiss her. Ai Xiaoye lifted his foot and kicked him on his lap, "Be good, be careful my dad beats you."

Julian was very disappointed, "Oh..."

Two people went upstairs with big bags, and before they knocked on the door, Ai Xiaoye's mother helped them open.

The room was warm and warm, and there were two bowls of dumplings on the table. Ai Xiaoye's mother asked, "Have you eaten?" Then, before they could speak, she said, "I'll cook it for you."

Ai Xiaoye said: "I've eaten it!" Her mother didn't care, and said directly, "Hurry up and change your clothes and wash your face."

Ai Xiaoye: "Oh."

When washing her hands, Ai Xiaoye's mother also squeezed in, smiling very satisfied, "It's pretty handsome."

This sounds so comfortable, Ai Xiaoye thought, it's your mother that you understand me.

Of course, I want to return to thinking, I still have to confide in my mouth, "That is, what I am after, can it be worse."

As a result, her mother said again: "Don't just look at your face. Being handsome is generally unreliable. It's a foreigner, and foreign men are easy to be bothered."

Ai Xiaoye was full of black lines thinking, and it was hard to tell the others, but this is really the only thing to worry about. But don't worry about it, but it is also the most interesting thing-Julian is a robot. Ai Xiaoye felt that he had independent thoughts and feelings, and she could feel it. But it feels impossible to persuade reason. Every time she thinks about this question, she reminds herself that Julian likes her to be "set".

Of course, she didn't think about it as much as possible—why was she okay?

Ai Xiaoye’s mother originally talked back to her, but when she hesitated, the old man immediately became serious, "How long have you known him?"

Ai Xiaoye: ...Mom, you are too keen! Can she say "I have known each other for 2 days"?

She made up a story with Julian for a long time, and reviewed the story in the car. But when I was asked about the weakest link, Ai Xiaoye felt guilty in an instant—

"It's not long, but it's not short," Lin Wei told her that she was developing a bionic robot. It has been two years. Ai Xiaoye is a typical type of self-deception who wants to deceive others. "Oh, you are worried. Why is he bothered. Shouldn’t you be more worried about me being bothered? You see, I’ve talked about 7 or 8 boyfriends. I have experience. Don’t worry about it."

Ai Xiaoye's mother: "You were a blind date."

"That's also experience." Ai Xiaoyecao wiped her hands and fled away-she was worried that Julian would be less able to withstand cross-examination, but now it seems that she is even more choking. She felt that it would be better for them not to be separated to extract a confession. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to ask for tricky details and contradict each other.

As a result, she returned to the living room and found that Julian had been chatting with her father in full swing.

No, to be precise, Julian has successfully bribed her father—because Julian gave her father a watch.

Ai Xiaoye didn't understand the watch, so he glanced down and found it to be quite ordinary—a pure black dial with a large circle and a small circle inside, and the scales are densely packed. There are many pointers, but it is not messy, and the design is elegant. Ai Xiaoye pondered the price of one or two thousand dollars, which made her a little painful but not yet vomiting blood.

Her dad really likes these things, but because they are not necessary items, he is usually reluctant to buy them. Julian's gift is considered an idea. Ai Xiaoye felt that the same price would never be able to deliver this level.

The two people are still discussing. Dad Ai Xiaoye excitedly said a bunch of precise data and proper nouns, such as "diamond axis", "case surface", "acid and pressure and high temperature resistance", "tourbillon", "error", and "metal fatigue". "... Ai Xiaoye, who is studying liberal arts, was dizzy and remembered the final conclusion. "It is said that when the Shenqi astronauts walked out of the warehouse, they brought this one. The old stuff in our company wanted to get it. Together, today can be considered true...this is a limited edition, right?"

Ai Xiaoye's silent black line: Dad just looks at you, don't learn from others to play antiques.

Julian smiled and said, "That model is no longer available back then, it's an imitation." He turned it over and showed it to Dad Ai Xiaoye, "Look, there is a watchmaker's imprint here."

Ai Xiaoye: Look, I'll just say imitation!

As a result, Ai Xiaoye's father was even more excited, "Is this customized?"

Ai Xiaoye: Enough... I really cried so stupidly by you T__T

Ai Xiaoye's mother gave a soft cough.

Ai Xiaoye's father awoke in a hurry, although he was still a little reluctant, he had already pushed the watch back. The tone was also clear, and he got up, "I invite you to come today, I want to have a good chat with you." After that, he glanced at Ai Xiaoye's mother again, and confirmed that his wife was satisfied, then continued, "Xiao Zhu..."

Ai Xiaoye sprayed. As a result, Julian still looked humble and sincere, and listened patiently, "Hmm!"

"How long have you known Ye Ye?"

Ai Xiaoye thought: Here comes...

She really didn't expect that her father and her mother's first question would be this-she thought they would care more about Julian's family and career.

She looked at Julian nervously. Julian smiled and held her hand, and said seriously, "Four years."

Ai Xiaoye: Huh—?

Ai Xiaoye's father asked, "I met in Milan?"

Julian said: "No, it's on Sicily."

Ai Xiaoye lied for him in a hurry, "It's the Mafia Island. Didn't I go to travel that year? I lost my wallet and passport and almost couldn't return to the country-I called you and said that, did you forget? "

Ai Xiaoye's father said, "I remember this. Why didn't you mention Xiao Zhu?"

Ai Xiaoye almost laughed again. Julian squeezed her hand, smiled softly, and said, "Perhaps she didn't remember me at all. At that time, she was helping people on the street with portraits, wearing white shirts, jeans and ponytails. It was really beautiful. . I fell in love with her at first sight, but before I had time to talk to her, tens of thousands of people flooded in the stadium-there happened to be a football match that day... we just missed it. Then I found her for four years, and there are people on earth. It's too much." He stared at Ai Xiaoye with that kind of extremely cherished gentle gaze, "Until we saw a picture of her with a friend, we finally could meet again."

Ai Xiaoye was frightened when he heard him make up the story. He was relieved to hear that he finally returned to the script, and quickly added, "It's Lin Wei, she introduced us to meet again."

It's a pity that Ai Xiaoye's father doesn't eat this set at all. "How long ago was that?"

Julian said: "About a week ago."

Ai Xiaoye was about to cry in an instant: half a year ago, hey Julian! !

Ai Xiaoye's father was silent for a while, took a sip of tea, and another sip of tea. Ai Xiaoye is quite sure that her father is trying to restrain the urge to beat Julian. Ai Xiaoye is most afraid that they will not speak with a sullen face, and he dared not make a mouthful—his dad is the kind that people say, he is usually humorous and cute, and once he gets serious, he will definitely provoke people. , Not to scare you.

After 10 seconds of deathly silence, Ai Xiaoye's mother finally said, "...how long have you been living together?"

Julian calmly said, "Two days."

Ai Xiaoye's father said: "You will separate me immediately."

Julian didn't even think about it, and said, "I refuse."

At this point, no matter how scared Ai Xiaoye is, she can only abandon her **** and save her handsomely. She has been docked to survive. She hurriedly said, "Uh...I also fell in love with Julian at first sight. I sincerely plan to have a good relationship with him... It’s 28, and I know it in my heart. Cohabitation is not as good as you think... You have to live together for a period of time before you know if it’s suitable for you to be together, right?"

While talking, Ai Xiaoye felt that he was looking for death. Sure enough, Dad Ai Xiaoye's hand holding the teacup was already shaking—not to be exact, but restrained from turning over and throwing the cup.

Julian said: "I understand your culture. I will not make further contact with Ye Ye until she accepts me. But it is impossible to separate me from her."

Ai Xiaoye: Don't you say that the latter sentence will die!

She can only help, "Really. He is actually sharing a lease with me now, and we don't have any trouble with the river."

Ai Xiaoye's father finally threw away the teacup that was about to fall apart by him. He raised his head and said to Ai Xiaoye’s mother, “You take Ye Ye into the house. Julian, you—walk with me.”?
