I glanced at Xia Shi, who was sitting opposite me, again. Although Xia Shi was still forcing a smile on her face, it could be seen that Xia Shi no longer wanted to continue eating and had not touched the chopsticks for a long time.

Vertex 23S.

Fastest update

I sighed in my heart, thinking that this was really not the time to ask such a question at the dinner table. If I had known better, I would have asked Xia Shi to finish the meal and get off the table before asking Xia Shi.

I also put down my chopsticks and had no intention of touching the food on the table.

Xia Shi, who was attentive and attentive, of course noticed my move, glanced at me in surprise, and then said to me: "Hurry up and eat, I will tell you more later, the food will be ready soon."

It’s cold.”

"I'm full." I smiled at Xia Shi and replied.

"Are you full? I didn't see how much you ate just now." Xia Shi continued, obviously Xia Shi didn't believe what I said.

"Can I still lie to you on this subject?" I replied.

"Okay, let me clear the dishes first, you wait." Xia Shi was positive. After saying that, she stood up to put the dishes on the table into the kitchen and wash them away.

However, I waved my hand to Xia Shi and said, "Put it here for now. I'll wash it later. You're not the nanny I invited. How can I let you do everything? In this way, I can't conscience

make life difficult for."

Xia Shi rolled her eyes at me and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Aren't these things women should do? Since I am the only woman in the family now, of course I have to do it."

I couldn't help but look at Xia Shi in front of me in surprise: "What do you mean by this? Who did you learn it from?"

"Aren't these all fine traditions?" Xia Shi replied.

"This is the 21st century." I shrugged at Xia Shi helplessly.

"Don't they all say that men and women are equal? ​​How come it has become like this in your place?"

"Hehe, I just said it casually. It's not like I don't do this kind of thing often anyway, so you'd better not do it." Xia Shi smiled at me, and then started to clear away the dishes on the table again.

I glanced at Xia Shi helplessly and did not stop Xia Shi's actions. However, I stood up and packed up the dishes on the table with Xia Shi and went into the kitchen. We also washed the dishes together with Xia Shi.

"I can come alone. You can go out quickly." Xia Shi did not refuse me to help her clear the dishes, but seeing that I wanted to wash the dishes with her, Xia Shi was a little unhappy.

"It's okay, just move your body and bones to avoid getting moldy just sitting at home." I smiled and had no intention of leaving.

Xia Shi didn't chase me away anymore, but divided the work with me. Xia Shi washed her hair and I washed it, and it was quite enjoyable to wash the dishes.

"Didn't Uncle Xia tell you about your life experience?" I thought about it and felt that I shouldn't waste such an opportunity. I turned to Xia Shi and continued to ask while rinsing the dishes and chopsticks in my hands.

"I told you." Xia Shi turned her head and glanced at me, willing to discuss such an issue with me.

"But dad always said that he would tell me some things that I should know in the future. Even dad said the same about the last incident in Xiangcheng. However, dad is missing now and I don't know where he is now.

"

When Xia Shi said this, she once again felt dazed for a moment, and the action of washing dishes gradually slowed down. It seems that my question has aroused Xia Shi's worry and longing for her father.

I also found it difficult to understand Xia Huanghe's whereabouts, and I couldn't figure out what had caused Xia Huanghe to remain anonymous for so long in the past few decades. Xia Huanghe was unwilling to tell me the reason, and naturally I couldn't study it in depth.

But from Xia Huanghe's action of entrusting Xia Shi to me, I can see that Xia Huanghe also has Xia Huanghe's own helplessness.

I smiled warmly at Xia Shi beside me, and said to Xia Shi in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, Uncle Xia has his own destiny, I think the next time we see Uncle Xia should be very soon.

Already."

"Is it soon?" Xia Shi turned her head and glanced at me.

"Actually, I never understood it before. After experiencing that incident, I realized that my father had been hiding for so long. To you and many people, my father has been hiding for more than 20 years, so this

How long are you going to hide your father again?"

"Well, I think now that Uncle Xia has concerns, he won't have the idea of ​​staying anonymous forever, right?" I thought for a while, and then said with an uncertain tone.

"Concerned? Are you referring to me?" Xia Shi turned her head and asked me with a smile.

"Yes." I nodded naturally.

"Who else could I have besides you? I think Uncle Xia still has to consider your feelings after all. Otherwise, Uncle Xia wouldn't have entrusted you to me so easily. How many parents in the world are willing to see you for a long time?"

Where is your daughter?"

"But I should have a sister, right?" Xia Shi hesitated for a while, and then replied.

I couldn't help but froze, and opened my mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

The words I just said were slapped in the face by Xia Shi's fierce reply.

Xia Wanyu is also Xia Huanghe's daughter, but how has Xia Huanghe ever appeared in front of her daughter in so many years?

"Dad, he is even willing not to appear in front of his daughter for so many years. I am also his daughter. I think there is nothing different in dad's eyes, right?" Xia Shi continued to add.

"This is different." I said subconsciously. I just wanted to comfort Xia Shi.

"What's the difference?" Xia Shi turned her head and looked into my eyes again.

I was speechless again and didn't know how to answer Xia Shi's question.

How should I answer? Do I have to tell Xia Shi some reasons that may make Xia Wanyu heartbroken in order to comfort Xia Shi? This is not something I am willing to do. Xia Shi seems to understand what I am thinking at this time,

He smiled at me again and said slowly: "Don't worry, this matter is actually not that difficult to accept. I

I believe that Dad always has his own reasons. This reason has kept Dad for many years. From a very young age, I knew that Dad must be doing something that I didn’t understand. He always interacted with people that I didn’t know.
