C11 I'm a Stranger

Xiao Jinghang silently listened to his parents' words, his heart beating rapidly. In his mind, Xiao Jiujiu, who was seven years old, stood in front of him with tears streaming down her face.

"Xiao Jinghang, you are a big liar! ... You said you would protect my generation, but now you are going to leave me far away! " Alright, let's go, let's go! If you leave, you will never come back! "Without you, I'll still grow up!"

That's right, the little girl has grown up! But she isn't the original her! It was because he had left that the original cute little girl had disappeared. Xiao Jinghang's heart ached so much that he could not catch his breath. His hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his expression was unusually ugly.

"Liuzi, what's wrong?! Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Old Lady Xiao noticed that her son's expression was not right. She hurriedly held her son's arm and asked.

"Is it important?" Xiao Wanlee knew that his son was going on missions from time to time. Injuries were unavoidable. He would think that his son was injured. He frowned and asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I drank more tonight. I'll be fine after I sleep for a while. Mom, you guys should rest early too." Xiao Jinghang got up and went upstairs. The two old men did not notice the stiffness and heaviness of his son's footsteps when he turned around and left.

"Do you need Aunt Liu to make some hangover soup or call the doctor over to take a look?" The old lady whispered to her old companion.

"What are you looking at?! What a fuss, a grown man would be fine after sleeping! " Don't worry about it. Go to sleep! " Xiao Wanlee went back to his bedroom with his hands behind his back.

"Sigh! He really has a big heart!" The old lady mumbled and went into the house to rest...

When Xiao Jiujiu woke up in a daze, it was already the morning of the next day. Her big starry eyes blinked a few times and her mind slowly regained clarity. She sat up and covered her slightly painful forehead. Xiao Jiujiu recalled what happened last night. She looked around and found that she was in her room. Xiao Jiujiu patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

"How did you come back?" She muttered to herself and went into the bathroom.

...

"Liuzi, are you feeling better?" In the restaurant downstairs, Xiao Jinghang was having breakfast with his parents. The old lady looked at her son's face with concern.

"I'm fine after sleeping, Mom." Xiao Jinghang replied indifferently. He lowered his head and drank the porridge expressionlessly.

"I'll tell you. I'm worried for nothing!" Xiao Wanlee was very happy when he woke up in the morning. His son had finally come back. He could see his son often. The old man did not say it, but he was happy in his heart.

"Grandfather and grandmother! What delicious food? I'm so hungry!" The crisp sound of an oriole made Xiao Jinghang, who was eating, stop in midair. His heart trembled slightly.

"Girl, come on, come on! Aunt Liu made shrimp dumplings, egg cakes, and red bean porridge. Lazy little cat, if you don't get up, I won't leave any for you either!" Old Lady Xiao smiled. Her pretty face saw her granddaughter walking over from afar and became even more brilliant.

"Grandma, flowers are blooming so early!" Xiao Jiujiu's long hair was tied up in a simple ponytail. She wore a black suspender vest and a white miniskirt. A pair of snow white slender legs appeared in the restaurant in a youthful and beautiful manner.

"Grandma didn't even thank her for the whole night! Look at who she is." The old lady pointed at her son and said to Xiao Jiujiu.

"Hmm?" Xiao Jiujiu only cared about watching her grandmother get up early. She did not notice who was the extra person at the table. She turned her head to look at the young man who was silently looking at her military uniform. The search engine in her mind quickly turned on.

"Grandpa, this is your subordinate, right? Hehe. Hello, I am my grandfather's granddaughter. You can call me Jiu! Welcome home as a guest, no need to be polite. "Use it as you wish!" She nodded her head in a dignified manner. Her big starry eyes were sparkling. Xiao Jiujiu's small face had a proper smile. Except for Xiao Jinghang, the two old men did not notice the trace of gloominess on their granddaughter's face before her big smile bloomed.

... ""

The three people sitting in front of the table all looked at the girl with a proper smile and raised her hand to stop the generous girl. The old couple exchanged glances. Didn't they come back together last night? Why did she look like a stranger! This girl was still mischievous just now. Why did she become a young lady of a noble family in the next moment?

Xiao Jinghang also hesitated in his heart. It seemed like this girl had forgotten everything that happened last night. How much wine did she drink?

"Hello, I am your grandfather's son, Xiao Jinghang. Nice to meet you at home!" What surprised the old couple even more was that their son was calmly introducing them to his granddaughter.

"What are you trying to do? You don't even know how to talk properly!" Xiao Wanlee knocked his bowl with his chopsticks and said unhappily, "What a mess! What are the uncle and nephew doing?

"Jiu, this is your Sixth Uncle! Didn't they go home together last night? Have you forgotten?" The old lady held her granddaughter's hand and said with a smile. Her heart tightened and relaxed. Just thinking about the girl's temper gave her a headache!

"Sixth Uncle? Did he come back with you?" Xiao Jiujiu blinked her shiny black eyes and looked confused. "I'm sorry grandpa and grandma. I drank wine last night and forgot about it in a daze!"

"A child who learns how to drink is asking to be scolded, right?" Grandma pulled Xiao Jiujiu to sit by her side and scolded, but her face was full of pain.

"Girl, I haven't even greeted you, Sixth Uncle!" Xiao Wanlee saw his granddaughter lowered her head and was about to take out her chopsticks and reminded her.

"Huh? Oh! Hello, Sixth Uncle! Welcome home!" Xiao Jiujiu stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Jinghang. "You have worked hard all these years. You have thrown away your family and your career for the country and the people. As the descendant of a soldier, my grandfather's granddaughter pays respect to you!"

... ""

Seeing Xiao Jiujiu's family of three who were deliberately respectful but were exceptionally distant, the scene of the separation from ten years ago appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Jiu, sit down and eat." Xiao Wanlee looked at the little girl with heartache and gently waved his hand at his granddaughter.

"Be good. After eating, accompany Grandma to buy vegetables." The old lady quickly picked up a pair of shrimp dumplings for Xiao Jiujiu. Her hand touched her black hair and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Jinghang did not say a word. He looked down at Xiao Jiujiu, whose face was buried under her long hair, and could not see her expression clearly. A dark light flowed in his eyes.

The pain in his heart made his hand that was holding the chopsticks tremble a little. Jiu, who had been by his side since she was a child and called Sixth Uncle "I like you," had really changed. She had done it. Without him, Xiao Jinghang, Xiao Jiujiu would have also grown up, but what about him? She smiled bitterly in her heart. Who should she blame? This was the arrangement of the heavens. This was the fate of her life!

After finishing her breakfast in silence and repression, Xiao Jiujiu's expression was indifferent. She stood up and looked at her grandfather.

"Grandfather, I want to go to Yaoyao's house. I won't be back tonight!" As she spoke, she walked upstairs and prepared to take her things out.

"Aren't you coming back tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?" This girl was obviously hiding from him. Xiao Jinghang sat there without moving, but his cold voice made Xiao Jiujiu freeze in front of the restaurant door.

"If possible, I will not come back before you leave." Xiao Jiujiu did not look back and coldly threw out a sentence.

"Jiu!" The old lady anxiously shouted. This living ancestor was going to flip out!

"You are making a fool of yourself again!" Xiao Wanlee felt his heart ache, and he was angry and helpless as he said these three words.

"Do you hate me so much?" he asked. Xiao Jinghang slowly stood up and asked in a deep voice.

"Huh! You hate me? I dare not! I just don't want to make myself unhappy!" Xiao Jiujiu still did not turn her head. She straightened her body and said coldly.

... "Jiu, can you talk to Sixth Uncle?" Xiao Jinghang's voice carried sincerity as he took a few steps forward.

"No need. I don't want to talk to strangers!" After finishing his sentence, he straightened his body.

"I'm a stranger?" A stranger provoked Xiao Jinghang, who was on the verge of losing control. As his voice turned cold, the atmosphere in the room became less tense.

"Isn't it?" After saying those three words in disdain, Xiao Jiujiu lifted her leg and was about to leave without looking back.

"Ah! What are you doing!? Xiao Jinghang, you liar! "Let me go!" Xiao Jiujiu, who was suddenly grabbed by her arm, was shocked. She raised her head and looked at the pair of deep phoenix eyes. With just one look, it instantly ignited the emotions that had been accumulated in her heart for many years.

"Let go! You bastard! Liar! Why did you come back! Showing off your merit points? This lady doesn't care! Let go! Do you hear me?! " No matter how much Xiao Jiujiu shouted, Xiao Jinghang dragged her up to the second floor under the shocked gazes of the two old men.

With a loud bang, the entire villa shook. The old lady downstairs and Aunt Liu who heard the sound ran out of the kitchen and closed their eyes in fear. How much effort did they use?

"Xiao, is... is everything okay?" The old lady looked at the second floor worriedly.

"Let Liuzi and Jiu talk! It had been ten years. The child's hatred had been suppressed for too long. It would be fine if the girl vented it out! Liuzi can handle it." Xiao Wanlee patted his old partner's shoulder to comfort him. Xiao Jiujiu had been hiding something for years. Xiao Wanlee knew very well that Xiao Jiujiu was hiding something behind her every day. That was why he felt very sorry for her.

...

"Let go!" In the bedroom, Xiao Jiujiu struggled to shake off her arm. Her starry eyes were filled with anger as she stared at Xiao Jinghang, just like she did ten years ago. Since she had not returned for ten years, what was she going to do now? Didn't she just leave her and not ask? What was the meaning of this?

"Jiu..." Xiao Jinghang looked at Xiao Jiujiu, whose face was red like a burning turkey, and was at a loss for words. He called out to Jiu, "Jiu, your Adam's apple wiggling, but you can't say a word.

"What do you want to say? Why did you leave back then? Ha! Does it have anything to do with me? This is your home. If you want to leave, then leave. If you want to come, then come. I don't have the qualifications to care about you!" Xiao Jiujiu's little face carried a trace of a cold smile. Her voice was somewhat trembling. There were tears in her beautiful eyes, but she stubbornly did not let it fall.

"Jiu, Sixth Uncle... missed you very much!" Xiao Jinghang, who did not dare to touch her, said in a low voice. He could not help but say this sentence that he had said to himself countless times in the past ten years.

"Liar! Xiao Jinghang, I have never hated anyone as much as I hate you. Don't let me see you! Get lost! " Get lost! Xiao Jiujiu suddenly became agitated and shouted while trembling all over her body.

It has been ten years. The helplessness and loneliness and resentment that was suppressed in her heart made Xiao Jiujiu lose her reason in an instant. She cursed and cried as she wildly threw everything in the room like a little madman. For a moment, the bed on the floor was in a mess.

"Enough, Jiu. Enough! Stop messing around! Okay? Sixth Uncle was wrong. Sixth Uncle has let you down. Hit me! Hit Sixth Uncle! Calm down! Don't hurt yourself!" Xiao Jinghang looked at the crazy Xiao Jiujiu and was stunned for a moment. He was upset about his previous impulse. Afraid that she would hurt him, he went forward and hugged her tightly. His voice was choked and trembling, and his usually indifferent handsome face was filled with helplessness and pain.

"Ahh ~ Wuwu ~ Wuwu, why did you abandon me? Wuwu... Why? I hate you as much as I'm afraid of you! Woo... Xiao Jiujiu's entire body trembled and her face became pale and scary. Before she fainted, she finally called out in her heart that she had never called Sixth Uncle when she was awake for the past ten years.

"Jiu, Jiu!" Xiao Jinghang held Xiao Jiujiu who had passed out and was shocked. He shouted loudly and carried her down the stairs like the wind.

"What's going on?! Jiu! Don't scare Grandma!" Seeing her son running down with his granddaughter's tightly shut eyes, Old Lady Xiao cried out in fear as she chased after him...

"Xiao! Aiyo! The sky had collapsed! Jiu, I don't know what's going on. Liuzi had just run away with someone in his arms! Hurry up! "Quick, get someone to drive!" Xiao Wanlee heard his wife's cry and quickly ran out of the backyard. The old lady grabbed his arm and urged him.

Aunt Liu also ran out to support his wife. Xiao Wanlee ran into the house and called the car attendant. For a moment, the Xiao family was in a mess.
