Chapter 249 (1/2)
”Well... Uncle, are you here to attend my parents' funeral?”
Because Xu Shenxing was in a daze, the girl asked curiously.
”Well, that's right.”
Xu Shenxing nodded reflexively.
Then suddenly realized: what the hell is uncle?! Do I look so old! I'm only five years older than you!
”Are you a relative of my mother's side or my father's side?”
I'm your brother!
Xu Shenxing didn't throw out this sentence at last, but answered casually: ”it's from your mother's side, and it's still very close by blood...”
”But I've never seen you.”
The girl said with great certainty that the pair of water cut autumn eyes looked at Xu Shenxing, and even the latter, whose face could already resist the star ship's main gun, was seen as a little uncomfortable.
”Because I have some contradictions with your mother, I haven't seen her since you were born. It's normal that you don't know me.”
Xu Shenxing explained dryly, ”just like I don't know you very well... Anyway, what's your name?”
”Yi Qiuyue.”
”Isn't your father's surname Cao?”
”I follow my mother's last name.” The girl's expression of ”don't even know this, you shouldn't be a person who comes to eat and drink” embarrassed Xu Shenxing.
I have something to do. It's Jasmine who wants to eat and drink, okay!
Unfortunately, such words can't be said out loud.
”How's your hand?” So Xu Shenxing tried to switch off the topic: ”I heard it was a fracture.”
”Well, the doctor said it would take two months to remove the plaster.” The girl nodded and looked dejected, obviously because the topic remembered the previous car accident.
Finding that he had screwed up, Xu Shenxing hurried to change the topic again.
”Is this a hibiscus tree?” This time he set his goal on several Hibiscus trees in the flower bed that were out of tune with the surrounding environment: ”this kind of thing is not common around here.”
”My father planted it when I was born. He said that he dreamed of a lush hibiscus tree before my mother conceived me. As a result, my mother found me in the hospital the next day. Originally, he wanted to directly name me hibiscus, but the fortune teller said that my life style was not suitable for having too many trees in my name, so it was changed to the current autumn moon.”
“……”
It seems that I stepped on the bomb again.
But in this way, Xu Shenxing also understood why the girl looked at these Hibiscus trees in a daze just now. It turned out that there was such a reason.
Compared with the large villa occupied by a group of strangers, it is obvious that these Hibiscus trees can better place the girl's Thoughts on her parents.
While Xu Shenxing was still hesitating whether to try to find a new topic, the girl suddenly whispered, ”my parents were killed.”
”What?”
Although the voice of the other party was as thin as a mosquito, Xu Shenxing still put it in his ears with his excellent hearing.
