A different kind of love of the dumb scholar

Chapter 309 I Can't Go Back Again (Third Watch)
"What?" Responding, the proprietress stared straight at Shui Qianqian, "You said she was Qianqian?"

Shui Xiao nodded, her eye sockets moistened a bit.

He thought that his daughter would never come back for the rest of his life.

"Then she... the one next to her is her boyfriend?" The proprietress actually wanted to ask if she was still unwilling to speak, but seeing Shui Xiao's expression, she changed the question.

The lady boss is really curious too.

Back then, Shui Qianqian mostly ate at her place. Even though Shui Qianqian didn't talk and didn't like to communicate with people, the proprietress always had a good impression of her.After hearing about Shui Qianqian's situation from the neighbor, he felt pity for her even more.

For this reason, when Shui Xiao first came to the restaurant for dinner in the past two years, the proprietress had a very bad attitude towards him. She was not less secretive than everyone else about Shui Xiao being cheated into marriage and helping others raise their children for so many years. Call him what he deserves.

It's just that after the past two years, she saw that Shui Xiao's difficulty was not easy, and gradually treated him as a normal guest.

When he came to the store, he would always ask her about Shui Qianqian's childhood.

She could see that he was sincerely repentant.

Shui Xiao nodded again, "Well, it's a good match, right? Thanks to having that child, Qianqian has changed so much."

The proprietress was silent, and she probably understood what he meant, "It's a good match, you are a talented woman. When I was young, I thought that you, a girl, must be a beauty when she grows up. Sure enough. Look at this appearance, it is really not ordinary. "

"Don't be in a daze, Qianqian hasn't come back for ten years, have you? Didn't you always look forward to her coming back? Father and daughter, it's not like there is some big hatred, someone has to take the first step. This We're all at the door, so why not go home?"

"Don't blame me for talking too much. You really did something wrong back then. Don't think that you are an elder who is embarrassed to bow down to the younger generation. Qianqian is a sensible child since she was a child, and I am afraid that she has already made a clear distinction. If you don't take this step , she will never recognize you, and it’s possible.” So when she was young, she didn’t cry or make trouble, and she didn’t even complain about her parents, so what is it if she didn’t treat them as parents long ago?
At such an advanced age, she still has this vision.

It's not like Shui Xiao didn't understand this. It's not that he hasn't tried it before, but his daughter...

It's not that they don't recognize him, it's that they are too indifferent to him.

Like to strangers.

It was already getting better, but Han Yanyu went to the capital to make such a fuss.

Although what Han Yanyu did had nothing to do with him, the situation at that time did give him quite a shock.

Especially what Qianqian said at the time and her loss of control.

All he had in his heart was endless self-blame and guilt.

Even a restaurant proprietress loves her daughter, but he...

Seeing him standing still, the proprietress let out a low sigh, she would have known why today.

Then smiled and waved to Shui Qianqian: "Qianqian, long time no see!"

Withdrawing her mind, Shui Qianqian led Bai Jing and walked over, "Aunt Zhao, long time no see." Back then, Shui Qianqian often came here to eat, and the proprietress' surname was Zhao, so she was asked to call her that.

Although Shui Qianqian didn't yell.

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, she didn't ask any more questions, she just smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, Qianqian has become a big girl."

Those who can open restaurants in this villa area are not necessarily short of money.After all, not many people can come here to eat.

The lady proprietress has been running the restaurant for many years, it is purely a hobby.

Such a person is naturally not the kind who talks too much when he shouldn't.

"This is your boyfriend, so handsome."

Anyone who saw Bai Jing would praise him, Shui Qianqian unconsciously bent the corners of her lips, "Well, my boyfriend Bai Jing."

"Bai Jing, this is Aunt Zhao. I received a lot of care from Aunt Zhao when I was young."

"Hello."

The proprietress's first impression of Bai Jing was that he was handsome and temperamental; the second impression was that he was not warm to others, but he would not make people think he was impolite.

A nice young man.

"Hello, come to the store with Qianqian more when you have time."

Bai Jing nodded, "Okay."

"Then you guys talk, I'll go get busy." She doesn't like to intervene in other people's affairs, so she can only help here, and what to do next depends on Shui Xiao herself.

The proprietress went back to the shop, Shui Qianqian looked at Shui Xiao, and shouted without any emotion, "Dad."

"Yeah. Go back... go home?" I wanted to say "Go home", but I was afraid that these three words would irritate her and make her turn around and leave, so I changed my words.

Shui Qianqian closed her eyes and remained silent.

Bo Jing said: "After walking for so long, I'm a little thirsty."

Before Shui Qianqian had time to speak, Shui Xiao glanced at Bai Jing, and then hurriedly said: "Then go home, the sun is so hot now, you can just sit and rest."

There was mineral water in the car, and Shui Qianqian knew that Bai Jing was not really thirsty.

She pursed her lips and looked at him.

Bo Jing squeezed her fingertips, and said to Shui Xiao, "Then excuse me."

Seeing that Shui Qianqian had no intention of objecting, Shui Xiao was very excited, "Don't bother, don't bother." Why bother you when you go home.

"Drive the car over there, and you won't have to come back later." Shui Qianqian said suddenly.

Shui Xiao's eyes lit up. When she said that, not only did she not object to going back, but she also agreed?

*
Just like that, Shui Xiao followed them.

He sits in the back seat.

It was only then that Shui Xiao knew that Shui Qianqian would appear here, not to go home, as for what he was here for, he couldn't guess.

But these are not important, as long as she is willing to step into the door of the house again, it will be fine.

Sitting in the back seat, looking at the two people in front, Shui Xiao's eyes were really red.He has been alone for two years, and it is the first time he has felt what it is like to be with his family.

Those partners who are about his age often travel by car with their children.This is what it feels like to sit in the same car with your children.

"Turn right ahead and go straight."

Seeing Shui Qianqian showing Bai Jing the way, Shui Xiao tilted his head and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes.

She still remembers the way home.

The car drove directly into the gate of Shuijia Villa and stopped in the parking space in the courtyard.

The huge villa was empty without a single person, making it look particularly desolate.

After getting off the car, Shui Qianqian paused when she saw this scene.

Really, it was exactly the same as when she was alone at home.

She knew better than anyone what it was like to live alone in such a quiet villa.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Shui Xiao who was walking in front, only to find that his back seemed to be bent a lot.

His eyes retracted, his eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the emotions in his eyes.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand.

"Let's go." Bai Jing said with a light smile.

Opening the door, Shui Xiao didn't go in directly, but stood by the door, "Come in, come in."

Seeing Shui Qianqian looking at him, Shui Xiao hurriedly said: "You guys go first, and I'll close the door behind." In fact, he was worried that if he went first, Shui Qianqian would stand outside the door and refuse to go in.

Seeing him so at a loss, Shui Qianqian's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded before walking in with Bai Jing.

The room was as deserted as ever, but it was still the same as when she left.

However, at a glance, it is known that it has been renovated.

Shen Yun has lived here for so many years, how can she still be the same.

Why bother.

Even if the layout of the house can be refurbished, the family cannot go back.

"Sit first, I'll make tea."

"No, I'll just pour a glass of water for Bai Jing." Shui Qianqian said to Bai Jing, "Sit down for a while." Since they found an excuse for being thirsty, even if everyone knew it well, they still had to do it on the surface Make a show.

Because who doesn't want to expose it.

After Shui Xiao was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly said: "The layout of the house has not changed, and the cups and water are still in their original positions."

Shui Qianqian glanced at him and nodded.

She walked towards the kitchen, Shui Xiao watched with mixed emotions in her heart, and it took a long time before she called Bai Jing to sit down, "Sit down."

He also sat down, looked at Bai Jing who was sitting there silently, and exuded a cool demeanor, and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Bai Jing is not someone who likes to play charades, since he understands what Shui Xiao said, there is no need to play dumb, "No, it's not for you."

"I know, but I still want to thank you. The injury on Qianqian's hand... is healed?"

Bai Jing glanced at him, "Scabby."

"...Thank you. If it wasn't for you, Qianqian...the most correct thing I did in my life would be when Qianqian asked to transfer to Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School, I helped her complete the transfer procedures."

After feeling emotional, Shui Xiao said to himself again: "That's the second time Qianqian has sent me a text message asking for my help since she moved to the old house, and the first time she asked me for help was because my father passed away and needed help." I'm going to run the funeral."

Even asking his daughter to take care of his biological father's funeral shows how stupid he was back then.

Just because he didn't want to see his daughter's cold face, and because he didn't want Shen Yun and his daughter to run into each other and make him feel awkward, he went back to the old house less and less often.

He defended Shen Yun and her twins everywhere, but in the end his biological father died, and his daughter became like that after years of suffering...

Breathing out lightly, Shui Xiao continued: "It can make Qianqian and I open up to help her transfer schools, so it can be seen that you have a different weight in her heart than others at that time. Can I ask how you two met?" Didn't he want to I don't care about their business, I just want to know more about my daughter.

"My life was picked up by him."

When the two looked over, it was Shui Qianqian who brought a glass of water.

Obviously she heard what Shui Xiao said.
