Two days later, Chen Jie returned to Ninghai.

When Meng Huo received the news, it happened to be before getting off work. Li Qin called him to take Chen Jie home for dinner.

"Why do I have to pick me up?" Meng Huo was very surprised. In fact, Chen Jie's parents also came here today and were visiting his house. Logically speaking, they should pick Chen Jie up. Why did he choose to pick him up when he is busy with work?

But no matter how strange it was, Meng Huo quickly packed up his things and came to the hotel where Chen Jie lived, and saw her at the agreed side door. Chen Jie was standing under a tree wearing a hat, and there was no one around. After asking the driver to stop the car and let Chen Jie get on the car, Meng Huo asked her: "Will the economic people be angry if you leave like this?"

"No." Chen Jie took off her hat and smiled, "I agreed with them that I will come back the day before the concert... By the way, have my parents already arrived at your house?"

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded. Because he did not go home during the Chinese New Year, Chen Jie invited her parents to come at the concert in Ninghai. She planned to accompany her parents, and after Li Qin learned about this, she also prepared dinner for them.

"Aunt Qin is really so enthusiastic!" Chen Jie sighed in the car: "I said there is no need to worry. My family is here and there is no place to live, so I still can't refuse her... Meng Huo, we didn't disturb your work, right?"

She was a little worried that her family would disturb Meng Huo's comic work at night.

"It doesn't matter, I've arranged the time." Meng Huo shook his head. He had already postponed his work today and no assistant would come to him at night. Compared to this matter, he was more interested in Chen Jie himself at this moment. Since she got in the car, her eyes had never been removed.

"Why are you always staring at me?" Chen Jie was very uncomfortable being looked at. She dressed up very normally today and checked before she came out. There was nothing wrong with it. Why did Meng Huo keep staring at her?

"Well... nothing." Meng Huo seemed to have seen enough and slowly turned his gaze back: "It's just that I haven't seen you for too long, I just want to take a look at you seriously."

Chen Jie's face turned red suddenly, but Meng Huo didn't care much about this expression. He muttered in his heart - "Why is she still the same? Are the words Alice said true?"

The conversation with Alice two days ago made Meng Huo alert. He thought that Chen Jie would give him a different image this time. But he didn't expect that she was still the same. Judging from her appearance and expression, there seemed to be no sign that her psychology had changed.

In this case, Meng Huo didn't know whether to tell the "confession" - after all, Alice told him about the conversation between the two women. If she said it, Chen Jie would hate Alice even more.

Although Meng Huo felt that it would be troublesome to reconcile between them and he was more inclined to maintain his current relationship, on the other hand, he did not want to see the relationship between them deteriorate further.

"Observe it..." Meng Huo decided to observe for a while. If Chen Jie really had no performance, he would probably not confess to him at the concert. Because of such an important action, even if Chen Jie did not say hello to Meng Huo, she would definitely test Meng Huo's reaction in advance.

If Meng Huo firmly opposed her confession, Chen Jie would definitely think twice before acting - because of his understanding of Chen Jie's actions, Meng Huo judged that he should observe it again. If Chen Jie was the same as in the past, he would not take the initiative to expose this matter.

And that night, Chen Jie's performance really made Meng Huo feel relieved. Her condition was no different from usual, and she couldn't tell that she wanted to "do big things". Moreover, compared with Chen Jie, her father's actions at night shocked Meng Huo even more.

The incident happened after supper. After supper, it was originally time for everyone to chat together, but Chen Jie's father suddenly said to Meng Huo at this time: "Meng Huo, can you make a room? I want to chat with you alone."

This sentence scared everyone. In fact, among the two families, the two most unfamiliar people were Meng Huo and Shen Jie's father. Her mother had a lot of contact with Meng Huo, but her father had never talked to Meng Huo alone.

"Meng Huo..." Chen Jie looked at Meng Huo with panic. She looked even more panicked than Meng Huo. However, after being surprised, Li Qin and Wang Huifang said nothing, but just looked at Meng Huo with inquiry eyes.

Meng Huo was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed to Chen Jie's father.

"Just in the studio, it's quieter here." Meng Huo took the initiative to walk to the door of the studio and turned on the light inside. In order to be able to paint with peace of mind, the room has been renovated several times in recent years, and the sounds inside and outside are very different.

Chen Jie's father followed Meng Huo in. The three women outside were very curious, but they could not hear the conversation inside. It was not until half an hour later that the door of the studio opened and the three women looked over. They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Jie's father's smile on his face.

At least from his expression, the conversation between the two men should be very smooth - Meng Huo's expression was a little complicated, but he did not show any dissatisfaction. Chen Jie felt relieved when she saw his expression.

Then the two families chatted for another half an hour, and Wang Huifang wanted to go home on the grounds of being exhausted.

Of course, her return home refers to the house in Ninghai. In fact, the house has been renovated for a long time, and Wang Huifang occasionally comes to live there. This time they will stay in Ninghai for more than half a week, and after watching Chen Jie's concert, they will stay for a few days before returning to Qingcheng.

Therefore, Li Qin did not stop her. She had many days to contact them later. Meng Huo asked the driver to send Chen Jie and his family back, but Chen Jie took the initiative to stay and asked the driver to send his parents back first.

"There is also my room here, I'll go back tomorrow morning." She said to Wang Huifang, who looked puzzled. Wang Huifang glanced at Meng Huo, and then smiled: "I understand, then I'll leave with your dad first."

Chen Jie's father had no objection, and the couple immediately left by car.

"Okay, let's go in!" When the car queen could not be seen, Li Qin smiled and pulled Chen Jie's hand and said, "Aunt Qin saw a very beautiful dress when she went out on the street last time. She bought it for you. You will take a shower later. Wear it for me!"

Chen Jie nodded: "Okay."

She followed Li Qin in, Meng Huo followed behind, thinking in her heart how beautiful the clothes Li Qin bought could be. Chen Jie is now an idol, and she usually wears clothes and dresses through professional inspections. She is always brilliant on the stage. What beautiful clothes have she never worn?

However - the facts proved that Meng Huo underestimated his mother too much. Although Li Qin didn't understand fashion very much, her eyes were real - when Chen Jie came out after taking a shower and wearing her new clothes, Meng Huo was also amazed from the bottom of her heart.

This is not a very gorgeous and radiant long skirt. On the contrary, it is very ordinary, just like an ordinary white skirt. But the white skirt is not pure white, but a beige white, with fine patterns blooming all over the body, like a layer of moonlight warmly draped on Shen Jie. No matter how dazzling and gorgeous she is on the stage, when wearing this long skirt, everything becomes pure.

"How is it? My mother's attitude towards choosing clothes is still good, right?" Li Qin stood beside Shen Jie and looked at Meng Huo proudly. She said, "I don't know how to choose complicated ones, but this kind of simple clothes is also very good. And... you like girls wearing this kind of clothes the most, right?"

Meng Huo's expression froze: "What did you say?"

"Stop quibbling, don't I know you yet?" Li Qin said with a smile: "You used to like to see girls wearing skirts the most. When you were in elementary school, there was a girl near our house always wearing pink skirts. You followed her butt every day after school..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Meng Huo waved his hand quickly. He remembered that there seemed to be something. But this happened a long time ago, and he didn't want to look at the skirt, mainly because of that girl...

"Okay, Aunt Qin, don't make fun of Meng Huo." Shen Jie took the initiative to help Meng Huo smooth things over, and then smiled at him: "We have all washed, don't stand there, go take a shower first."

Meng Huo nodded, and he found the clothes to change and walked into the bathroom, washing all the sweat and fatigue of the whole day. But when he came out of the bathroom with a refreshing spirit, he found that there was only one Li Qin sitting in the living room, but Shen Jie disappeared.

"Where has she been?" Meng Huo asked curiously.

"It's a cool breeze in the yard!" Li Qin was fascinated by watching TV and pointed outside casually.

Meng Huo walked out and saw Shen Jie sitting under the eaves in a white dress. The evening breeze blew on her, gently lifting up and falling her long hair and the hem of the skirt. With the fragrance of the plants and trees, it gave people a simple and fresh temperament.

"Isn't there an air conditioner inside?" Meng Huo asked, then sat down next to her.

"I don't really like the air conditioner." Shen Jie turned around and smiled: "It's better to have a natural wind, and the environment here is good."

The greening of Jiayuan Community is very good, and every household has a yard, and the wind has a natural atmosphere. Shen Jie has not enjoyed such a comfortable wind for a while.

She suddenly moved her body close to Meng Huo, put her head on his shoulder, and then squinted her eyes: "By the way, what did my dad tell you just now?"

"Your dad?" Meng Huo paused and asked back, "What do you think?"

"My business and you?"

"...I thought it was at first." Meng Huo looked at a short-sized osmanthus tree in the yard and said slowly: "But he just told me about animation. He seemed to be chasing "The Rebellious Lelouch" recently and asked me a lot of questions."

Shen Jie was stunned, and then she was a little amused: "He told you all this?"

"There is also "Mobile Suit Gundam 00". He asked me if the celestial beings in the last war will be destroyed. I told him that the celestial beings will continue to exist at the end." Meng Huo laughed and said, "Your father is actually * simple, by the way - he also asked me for an autograph."

Chen Jie laughed "puff".

"He is such a person. He usually looks very serious, but when he encounters something he is interested in, he is like a child. He also got my signature with me before. This is the first time I have seen it. How could a father ask his daughter to sign with him!"

As the two talked, they seemed to have aroused their interest. The topic slowly started from Chen Jie's father to his mother, and then Meng Huo's mother and his grandmother's house. Some interesting things made both of them laugh.

What they didn't notice was that Li Qin in the living room had finished watching the TV. She wanted to call her two children in, but she found that they were chatting so hard. She turned around and went back to the room to sleep.

Meng Huo hadn't chatted with Shen Jie for several months. But this chat might be more satisfying than during the Chinese New Year. When he came to his senses, the moon rose into the air.

"It seems that we were chatting too late..." He brought out water from the living room, handed it to Chen Jie, and drank it himself: "After drinking this glass of water, go to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow, and you have to go back early."

"Well, but then again, I have something to ask you." Chen Jie drank the water and suddenly asked, "Who is the girl in the red skirt your mother mentioned before? Could it be your first love?"

"Puff... cough, cough..." Meng Huo coughed suddenly. He really couldn't underestimate this woman. She always remembered Li Qin's casual words.

Meng Huo wiped his sweat: "How can you do it? Don't listen to my mother's random words. I don't know the girl's name yet!"

He was telling the truth, but Chen Jie looked suspicious: "Really? Then don't you know her? Why do you follow her behind her butt every day? Do you like red skirts so much?"

Meng Huo smiled bitterly: "No, I don't like skirts very much..."

"Then why?"

Chen Jie continued to ask, Meng Huo sighed, shrugged, and said, "Because her shoes are very beautiful."

"Shoes?" Alice was surprised: "Do you like shoes?"

This is even more excessive than a skirt. She had never heard of Meng Huo having a special preference for shoes, and her expressions became weird on her face. Meng Huo knew what she was thinking at a glance, and she couldn't help but tuck her head.

"Don't think wrong!" He explained helplessly: "Look, aren't some children's shoes very interesting? For example, when walking, it will shine, and some will make music, and that girl's shoes can shine..."

"You wouldn't say that because that girl's shoes would glow, you just followed them?" Chen Jie laughed: "Don't tease me, what a boring reason!"

"Are you bored? Actually, it's not boring at all." Meng Huo shook his head. Now that he thinks about that reason, it may be boring, but he really didn't feel bored at that time: "Chen Jie, I have never worn that kind of shoes..."

Chen Jie's laughter slowly stopped, and she looked at Meng Huo: "No way..."

"It's true, because at that time... my family was very poor and my mother had never bought me any toys." Meng Huo said lightly. He didn't dare to ask for such things when he was a child. It would be great if Li Qin and his two of them could survive.

"So I envy that girl, after school, heeled behind her and watched her shoes shine step by step... In fact, in my opinion, this was the most interesting thing."

Because he didn't have it, he looked at others as good as that. The reason was that simple - Meng Huo didn't expect Li Qin to discover this, but he felt very lucky at the same time, at least Li Qin did not find the truth.

If she had let her know what she thought, Li Qin would have been in great pain at that time. She was such a mother.

Chen Jie couldn't speak anymore. She held the cup tightly and suddenly realized how excessive her laughter was. Born in a healthy family, she had never had the idea of ​​Meng Huo. For her, who had no need for food and clothing, those shoes were just an ordinary toy and had no special meaning.

"……sorry……"

After a while, Chen Jie apologized.

"Why do you want to apologize?" Meng Huo laughed suddenly. He reached out and patted Chen Jie's head: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, it's been a long time since I said it. If my mother hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it."

Chen Jie turned around and looked at Meng Huo's smiling face under the night, and suddenly realized that she still had a lot of unknowns about him - she didn't know his past and what kind of life she had experienced, so Meng Huo could get to where she is today.

There was a tingling pain in her heart, and then a burst of emotions surged up, and she could no longer hide her mood...

"Menghuo..." Chen Jie put down the water cup, then leaned against Menghuo, and reached out to hug his back: "No, I will definitely not make you envy others anymore in the future. I will help you get everything you want, so..."

She raised her head slightly, looked at Meng Huo with moist eyes, and then kissed him on his lips before he could react.

"...Let me be by your side, I will give you happiness."

A cold kiss, coupled with trembling and nervous words, Meng Huo crossed his lips and looked at Chen Jie. Sure enough, she was changing something, just as Alice said.

But this change was not as confident as Alice said. Chen Jie was also afraid and nervous, and this was no different from Alice.

There are many kinds of kisses. For Meng Huo, the feeling of kissing in his body is not deep, but the turmoil it stirs up in his heart is stronger than the other. Chen Jie's kiss is like mint, very immature. Meng Huo has kissed her in the past, but it has never been as clear as it is now.

His heart was beating, and then he told him something. Chen Jie's kiss was different from Alice, one was green and the other was gentle, but the kisses of the two could also leave traces in his heart.

"I am the worst man..." Meng Huo thought sadly, but he still stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Chen Jie - this was the answer he decided very early.

However, before getting this answer, Chen Jie suddenly let go of her hand in panic: "No, no... Time hasn't been... Meng Huo, I was just kidding..."
