Zhu Xiyue carried a fruit bag and followed this gentle uncle into the living room.
The decoration of the room is all in Chinese retro style, with a strong Zen feel.
The uncle also burned incense, and the whole room smelled of incense.
There is also the sound of running water. This is because he placed a Chinese-style running water decorative object in the living room.
Zhu Xiyue's eyes blinked as she looked at these new environments that were new to her.
One is looking around.
"Come, have something to eat."
The uncle took out some snacks from home and came to Zhu Xiyue. After a while, he took out some delicious food from home and placed them in front of Zhu Xiyue.
"Uncle...enough is enough."
Zhu Xiyue also felt the enthusiasm of her elders for the first time, and she suddenly felt at a loss.
Both of them were being polite. At this time, Zhu Xiyue suddenly asked.
"Uncle, why are you the only one at home? Where is your aunt?"
Hearing that Zhu Xiyue was looking for his wife, his uncle paused.
He put the things in his hands on the coffee table and sighed slightly.
"Good boy, come and say hello to Auntie."
The uncle greeted Zhu Xiyue and came to the other side of the living room.
A woman with black and white hair was sitting quietly in a wheelchair. She looked out the window and watched silently.
Outside the window is the land at the entrance downstairs.
Her figure was very slender, and even though she was sitting in a wheelchair, she was sitting upright without carrying anything on her back.
You can still see her temperament.
From the couple's temperament and quality of life, it is not difficult to see their cultural heritage and profound knowledge.
But now, the hostess just sat blankly, looking outside.
"Honey, there is a child who wants to say hello to you."
The uncle stepped forward gently and placed his hands gently on the aunt's shoulders.
Hope she can give herself some response.
But the aunt still didn't respond at all, and looked out the window blankly.
The uncle patiently said a few more words, but his aunt still ignored him.
Slightly disappointed, he straightened his body and covered her with the blanket.
"I'm sorry, my lover, because of some things, she doesn't respond to anything from the outside world right now."
Zhu Xiyue probably knew the reason why her aunt became like this. She nodded guiltily to show that she understood.
She now finally understood why Lu Yinghan came to thank him in person last night.
It turns out that you have to see with your own eyes what things really look like.
When the uncle saw Zhu Xiyue's appearance, he adjusted his posture and faced Zhu Xiyue with a smile again.
"Your name is Zhu Xiyue, right?"
"Yes, uncle."
After taking Zhu Xiyue to his seat, he poured her a cup of tea.
"Stop talking, uncle, why do you want to leave home?"
Ah, sure enough I still ask.
Zhu Xiyue felt conflicted in her heart and did not speak at once.
The uncle realized that he was asking too preemptively and hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, uncle won't tell anyone else. He's just curious. In exchange, I'll tell you first why my aunt is like this."
Without waiting for Zhu Xiyue to be ready, his uncle slowly told Zhu Xiyue the cause of the matter.
Even though Zhu Xiyue had heard Lu Yinghan talk about it, when she heard it from the person involved, this helpless and sad feeling first hit her soul.
She listened to her uncle's words carefully.
When the uncle talked about how he and his aunt went to the scene and saw his son.
He closed his mouth tremblingly and stopped talking.
He just turned his eyes red, took off his glasses and wiped them, taking a deep breath to calm himself down.
Seeing his dearest child being so brutalized appeared in front of him.
Even after so many years.
It was still very painful for him.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Zhu Xiyue was at a loss and wanted to step forward to pass a napkin to her uncle, but the other party waved his hand.
"It made you laugh."
Looking at his uncle like this, Zhu Xiyue felt filled with emotion. In order to believe in her, he would not hesitate to reveal the trauma in his heart again.
And my parents...
He shook his head and turned away from his parents' faces.
Zhu Xiyue also said slowly.
Now it was the uncle's turn to frown.
After listening, Zhu Xiyue looked at his face carefully.
This move first made the uncle feel very distressed.
A good child is treated like this by his family.
If this were my own child, it would be too late to hurt!
But since I was an outsider, I couldn't say anything. I could only express my dissatisfaction with long sighs.
"Uncle calls you Yue'er, is that okay?"
After Zhu Xiyue finished speaking, his uncle couldn't be more gentle and asked Zhu Xiyue.
"No, no problem!"
The first time he was called that, Zhu Xiyue was a little flattered and his face turned a little red.
"You said you are hiding at Yingying's house and no one has noticed you. In that case, you can come to our place during the day so that we can take care of you.
Recently, there has been news that cases of missing children have begun to increase again. It seems that these cases are caused by those unscrupulous human traffickers.
It's not safe for you to be alone at home, and you don't know if someone will sneak up on you, so it's safer for you to come to uncle's place during the day. "
What the uncle told was true, and he sincerely invited Zhu Xiyue to his home.
The feeling of having children at home is really much better than being alone with two people. After just chatting for a while, he started to feel a little reluctant to let go.
Of course, you have to respect others, and if she doesn't want to, don't force it yourself.
"Would it bother you too much?"
"No! Uncle welcomes you! You can talk to aunt, maybe she will get better gradually."
Looking at his aunt on the other side who was still motionless, Zhu Xiyue softened her heart.
"As long as you don't feel disturbed, uncle, I will come!"
After receiving Zhu Xiyue's promise, the uncle laughed happily.
He was very reserved when he was happy and did not express his emotions as quickly as others.
"Okay! Okay! Just come! You can stay for dinner today! Uncle will cook it for you!"
With that said, he walked briskly to the kitchen and began to take out the good ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare something delicious for Zhu Xiyue.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Zhu Xiyue was alone in the living room and didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the blanket on her aunt had slipped a little further, Zhu Xiyue walked over and gently pulled it up.
"Hello, aunt, my name is Zhu Xiyue."
He whispered in his aunt's ear. Seeing that her aunt didn't respond, Zhu Xiyue simply sat next to her and looked out the window with her.
Occasionally, I would look at my aunt to see if the blanket on her body had slipped away, and then I would pull it up and cover her properly.
The uncle looked at the two people in the living room from the kitchen.
I felt relieved and sour in my heart.
If Tongtong is still here.
He will definitely be as well-behaved as Yue'er.
