    Sheng Min involuntarily took a step back, and almost at the same time, Li Mingge's hands pressed his shoulder blades hard, his stern gaze was like ice water poured out of thin air, Sheng Min suddenly recovered from the shock.

    He pinched his palm, pursed his lips, and looked at the woman in front of him again.At the same age as Li Mingge, he has benefited from maintenance, and his facial features are very delicate. It is not difficult to see the beauty of his youth.As far as appearance alone is concerned, this is an elegant woman—except for her eyes, which are almost fanatical, reminding Sheng Min of the fans who once broke into his apartment with a knife in the middle of the night.

    Sheng Min couldn't quite remember what that person looked like, but only remembered that there was a bracelet on his thin and pale arm, which looked like an ordinary bluetooth bracelet, but it was actually a trait locator for mental patients.The woman in front of him had the same withered and bloodless hands, wearing exactly the same bracelet.

    "Son, son?"

    Sensing Sheng Min's intention to retreat just now, the woman's nerves suddenly tensed up, and she called him repeatedly.

    "I……"

    Sheng Min opened his mouth, his throat was a little dry, the smile on the woman's face disappeared immediately, she grabbed his hand, and the box in Sheng Min's hand fell to the ground: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you talk, tell mom what are you doing?"Is it? Are you uncomfortable?"

    "He's fine." She had an outburst suddenly, but Li Mingge seemed to be used to it, and hurried forward to comfort him, "Shu Xin, look at me. The child is fine, don't think about it."

    "What's the matter, what's the matter with you, you've gotten sick again... Did you get sick again, your father kept it from me..."

    Shu Xin couldn't listen to what Li Mingge said at all, she just held Sheng Min's hand firmly, her nails dug into his flesh, the moment the pain came, the first thing Sheng Min saw was the mottled skin on Li Xuan's body.scars.

    "I'm fine, I'm fine." Sheng Min calmed down and smiled.After repeated persuasion by Li Mingge, the woman who was still agitated, miraculously quieted down when she heard Sheng Min speak.

    "Very good?" She looked at Sheng Min in a daze.

    "Yes." Sheng Min looked into her eyes, "It's pretty good."

    "Oh, good, good..." Shu Xin repeated repeatedly.

    "I said, the child is fine." Li Minge gently put his arms around her shoulders, "I didn't come back on Monday, I was revising my thesis at school...The child misses you too, so I brought you a special gift..."

    Sheng Min picked up the box on the ground and handed it over cooperatively, a small piece of mud was stained on the corner of the ribbon.

    "My son bought it for me." Shu Xin smiled happily and showed it to Li Mingge.

    "That's right." Li Mingge said with a smile, "Our son has kissed you since he was a child. He told me on the way back just now that he wants to eat your pork belly chicken. Are you ready?"

    "Pork belly chicken..." Shu Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then called out loudly, "Sister Zhang!"

    "Yes, yes." A woman with short hair also came to the door at some time.

    "Is the food ready?"

    "Okay, dinner can be served right away." She replied quickly, but unconsciously looked at Li Mingge's face, with a nervous expression.

    "It's ready. Mom will take you in for a drink. You must be hungry. Come on, come in with Mom. It's so hot, you can see that you're sweating. You can't be hot or cold."

    Shu Xin tugged at Sheng Min's sleeve and walked across the courtyard, so eager that she stumbled.Li Minger and the nanny followed behind.The nanny whispered: "I didn't pay attention to cooking, and my wife ran out..."

    "Let's talk later." Li Mingge's tone was flat, but he took a quick step forward and held Shu Xin's other arm, "Go slowly, and be careful not to trip the child."

    Shu Xin looked thin and weak, but her strength was not small.Sheng Min was dragged all the way into the villa by her, her wrists were bruised, combined with the blue and purple finger marks on the back of her hand, it was a bit scary.

    "Shall we unwrap the present first? Let's see what it is?" Sheng Min tried to pull his hand out.

    As expected, Shu Xin was distracted and nodded.Looking at him for help again: "I can't remember where the scissors are."

    "I'll take you to get it. Come on, let your son rest for a while." Li Minge took her hand gently, and took her away smoothly this time.

    Auntie went to the kitchen, only Sheng Min was left in the huge living room for the time being.He breathed a sigh of relief briefly, and looked around his surroundings.

    Li's house is decorated in a typical Chinese style, with various huanghuali furniture and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.The single-family villa is supposed to have good lighting, but because the curtains are drawn all the year round, the room looks rather gloomy.Perhaps it was because the central air conditioner was turned on too low, Sheng Min still felt the chill lingering, he raised his hand to gently rub the bruise on his wrist, and suddenly heard the sound of quarreling and door slamming from the second floor breaking the barrier that did not last long.Quiet.

    "Li Xuan." Sheng Min frowned and raised his head, Li Mingge's face suddenly appeared beside the railing on the second floor, "Come up."

    There are four rooms on the second floor. Li Mingge stood at the door of the second room from left to right. When he saw Sheng Min approaching, he raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Shu Xin, the child is here, please open the door."

    As he spoke, he took another step back and motioned Sheng Min to step forward.The door was opened a thin crack, and Shu Xin smiled happily when she saw him.

    "Come on, son." She grabbed Sheng Min's hand again, "Come on."

    With previous experience, Sheng Min didn't show any avoidance anymore, and obediently entered the room, and saw Shu Xin quickly close the door, blocking Li Mingge from the outside.

    "Here, you come and help mom put it up. I don't want your dad to help me put it up. He doesn't understand." Shu Xin couldn't help but stuff him with an exquisitely crafted translucent ball the size of a fist.The familiar gift box was casually thrown aside, probably this is the gift that Li Minger asked him to bring back.

    "Put it on." Seeing that he hadn't moved, Shu Xin urged.

    This is a storage room, but it is different from the usual ones. There is nothing else in the middle except a table and two chairs.On the contrary, the surrounding walls are all inlaid with pieces of chicken wing boards, which are scattered up and down irregularly, some are empty, but most of them have been placed with various objects.

    On the wall facing Sheng Min, there are all translucent spheres in different colors and sizes.The placement is somewhat familiar, Sheng Min thought about it carefully, and remembered seeing it in Li Xuan's physics book, which is the eight planets of the solar system.

    The entire wall is full of planet models, arranged according to their far and near positions in the solar system, in groups of nine, basically placed in groups.The top group is left with only the sun and the third star.

    "Son?" Shu Xin became uneasy.

    "Okay, I'll do it." Sheng Min smiled and comforted her.Take the model and walk to the wall.

    These models are probably of different series, and the same star has different workmanship and appearance.Sheng Min didn't know what it was in his hand, and it was difficult to deduce from the original where it should be placed.

    With Shu Xin's mental state, Sheng Min didn't want to stimulate her sensitive points and cause unnecessary trouble. The model seemed to be a bit heavier to hold.

    He slowly raised his hand, and while approaching the wall, he casually talked to Shu Xin. Through the chat, he seemed to wander between different positions unintentionally, carefully observing Shu Xin's expression.

    Fifth or sixth.Sheng Min thought.

    It was too close, and it was difficult for him to judge more, Shu Xin began to feel a little anxious because he had not put the model in the correct position for a long time.

    Sheng Min's heart fluttered, and he raised his hand and placed it on the back grid...

    It should be right.Shu Xin didn't speak, she looked at the models all over the wall with a tranced smile on her face.

    Sheng Min pinched the center of her brows, and quietly stepped back two steps to the side. After making sure that her attention was not on her at this time, she planned to open the door to let Li Mingge in.However, before moving to the door, he was attracted by a row of photos on the other wall.

    There were family portraits one after another. At a glance, there were about twenty of them, and they were displayed according to time.Parents grow from youthful to mature, and children change from infants to tall and handsome young people. Even if it is placed in a room that is not bright, this can probably be regarded as a warm commemoration—if it does not start from a certain picture, the childSuddenly changed to another one.

    "son."

    Sheng Min's eyebrows twitched, and at some point, Shu Xin had quietly come behind him.

    "What are you looking at?" She still had that mysterious smile, her withered arms wrapped around his shoulders affectionately like water plants wrapped around a dead body on the seabed, "Look how beautiful you were when you were young, pink."

    She reached out and stroked one of the photo frames affectionately.In the photo, it was a completely strange boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old. From his facial features, it was not difficult to tell that the photos from the time he was a baby belonged to him. After that, the boy in the photo suddenly changed into Li Xuan.

    Although they are all tall and thin, Li Xuan does not look like the original child, and the photos are very obvious when they are put together.The boy had a pleasing round face with a smile on his brows and eyes, but his face was still abnormally white in the not-so-clear image.

    And Li Xuan, who appeared for the first time in the photo next to him, looks younger than him, and is not tall, but his outline is quite similar to now, with a stern face, very impatientlooking at the camera.

    Sensing his gaze and smile, Shu Xin's eyes followed, she seemed completely unable to see the difference between the two children: "But my son has always been handsome..."

    Her finger slid along, and when she was about to touch Li Xuan's photo, Sheng Min subconsciously stopped him.

    "Son?" Shu Xin looked at him with some trepidation.

    Sheng Min couldn't explain why, but he just didn't want Shu Xin to meet Li Xuan again, even photos.

    "I'm hungry." Sheng Min temporarily put away his complicated thoughts, and showed a sincere smile. Fortunately, acting is always his specialty. "Let's eat first, okay?"
