Xiao Xiao has a cold temperament and is gentle but not enthusiastic in his treatment of others.
There are also some who can't stand other people's over-enthusiasm.
That would make him feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of his aunt's possible enthusiasm later, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
...
"Xiao Xiao!"
Just as Yu Yanyan and Xiao Xiao reached the stairs, the middle-aged woman had already opened the door and called them with a smile.
Oh, you have to remove the word "men" to make it more accurate.
Auntie's eyes fell on Xiao Xiao, and the light inside was so bright that it was even dazzling. Xiao Xiao's steps paused slightly.
...
"Auntie, did you hear our footsteps?"
Yu Yanyan asked with a smile.
The timing is also perfect.
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman withdrew her burning eyes from Xiao Xiao.
She turned her gaze, and the figure of Yu Yanyan was reflected in her eyes.
"I saw you on the balcony."
The middle-aged woman spoke in a gentle tone, "I thought you were almost here, so I went to the balcony to take a look from time to time."
"Then I saw you guys getting out of the car just now."
If it weren't for the fact that there were people in the kitchen, she would still want to go down and pick them up.
I originally thought about letting her husband go down.
But thinking that Xiao Xiao didn't know her husband and worried that Xiao Xiao would feel uncomfortable seeing a stranger, she still greeted him personally at the door of the room.
"Come in first."
The middle-aged woman stepped aside and said, "Since Xiao Xiao is here, let's get ready to have dinner."
...
Xiao Xiao and Yu Yanyan changed into slippers and followed the middle-aged woman into the house.
In addition to the middle-aged woman's husband, children, and two elderly members of the Gu family were also there.
The old man and the old lady gathered around their grandson who was discharged from the hospital yesterday.
Although the temperature went down, because the child's cold was rather strange, and considering that there might be some unknown emergency, the child was kept in the hospital for observation for two more days before being discharged.
The child had been in the hospital for a long time and started to act up as soon as he got home.
The adults don't mind either.
After watching the child lying sickly in bed for several days, they were very pleased that the child was now lively.
...
Noticing the two men coming in, everyone in the room turned their attention to them.
"Is this classmate Xiao Xiao?"
The old man stood up and walked over, his eyes slightly narrowed and a loving smile on his face.
"Hello, Grandpa Gu."
Xiao Xiao nodded politely, "I am Xiao Xiao."
"grandfather."
Yu Yanyan also shouted from the side.
"Why."
The old man responded, but his attention was still on Xiao Xiao.
He was about to say something, but was interrupted by a cry.
"Big brother!"
The child's eyes lit up and he walked towards Xiao Xiao unsteadily on his short legs.
"Hey, An'an, slow down."
The old lady followed with a nervous look on her face.
Seeing that it was his precious grandson who interrupted him, how could the old man be angry? The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched out with laughter.
"An'an still recognizes big brother."
"An An is so awesome."
...
The child stretched out his hands, his raised face was full of joy, and his dark eyes were shining, "Little fox~"
The child's voice is soft and waxy.
It made the adults around him smile and narrow their eyes.
...
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
The reason why the little guy remembers him is probably because of Ah Jiu.
He knelt down and waited for the little guy to approach.
Unfortunately, in order to prevent a certain monster from taking action, Xiao Xiao reached out and took hold of the little guy's fleshy hand.
"An'an, the little fox doesn't like others touching it."
"It's going to hurt you."
He shook his head at the eager child.
The child's little face suddenly wrinkled.
The five short fingers of the hand held by Xiao Xiao moved.
It shows a bit of a child's unwillingness.
The child stared at the little fox, and suddenly and quickly touched the little fox with his other little hand.
He just touched it.
The child's eyes are wide open.
Then, his hand was held by the big brother in front of him.
The child curled his lips in frustration.
"Little fox~"
"An An wants to touch the little fox."
...
"no."
Xiao Xiao's tone was gentle, but he still shook his head.
He didn't feel soft because of the child's pitiful expression.
"Xiao Xiao, are you really not allowed to let An An touch the little fox?"
The old lady couldn't bear her grandson's disappointed look and turned to look at Xiao Xiao.
It's just a touch, what does it matter?
Although it is a fox, since it is raised by people, it is almost like an ordinary cat or dog, right?
How can any kitten or puppy bite someone just by being touched lightly?
They are not wild stray cats or stray dogs.
...
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the little white fox, "Ajiu, how about letting An An touch it?"
The little white fox's closed eyes opened a crack.
It glanced sideways at Xiao Xiao with a lazy expression, but Xiao Xiao understood its rejection.
Ah Jiu doesn't like children.
Thinking of Ah Jiu's face full of disgust when talking about human children, Xiao Xiao felt helpless.
But he didn’t want to force Ah Jiu.
In terms of relationship distance, he is naturally more inclined towards Ah Jiu.
He looked up at the child and shook his head gently again.
"An'an."
Yu Yanyan also squatted down, "An An likes the little fox very much, right?"
"Um."
The child puffed his lips and nodded.
"Then, don't do anything the little fox doesn't like."
Yu Yanyan said softly, "Otherwise, what if the little fox gets angry and ignores An An?"
The child was a little anxious, "No!"
"Little fox... don't ignore... An An."
"don’t worry."
Yu Yanyan reached out and smoothed the child's forehead.
Children's hair is thin and soft.
"As long as An An doesn't do anything that the little fox hates, the little fox won't hate An An."
"An An is a good boy."
"Everyone likes An An very much."
"Well, An An is a good boy."
The child nodded seriously, "An'an is very well-behaved."
"An An is great."
The old lady touched the child's head.
The child tilted his head and smiled happily.
He no longer insists on touching the little fox.
He is a good boy.
...
"The dishes are all cooked."
"Everyone, let's go to the restaurant."
The middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face and said, "If you have anything to say, we can talk at the dining table while we eat."
...
Everyone took their seats at the dining table.
Xiao Xiao sat next to the old man.
A middle-aged woman sat next to him.
"Xiao Xiao, try this."
"This is my aunt's specialty."
The middle-aged woman put a piece of pumpkin with egg yolk into Xiao Xiao's bowl.
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao took a bite and said, "Aunt, it's delicious."
"If it tastes good, eat more."
The middle-aged woman was very happy, "I don't know what you like to eat?"
"I called Yan Yan and asked, but this girl doesn't know."
"I just said you probably like sweets."
"So, I specially made sweet dishes."
Xiao Xiao looked at the dishes on the table. No wonder they were all sweet and sour pork ribs and rock sugar elbows.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble."
