"Yo!" Yan Haikun was extremely surprised. "I didn't expect you, girl, to know this! That's right, that's the name."
"However, Uncle Yan, the one in your hand should be a replica, right?" Xu Zixi said.
Yan Haikun laughed and said, "Of course. The real one is in the museum. It belongs to the country. How could it become my private collection?"
Then the two chatted about antique collection for a long time. Yan Haikun was really shocked this time.
Xu Zixi could actually keep up with his rhythm and was very familiar with the antiques on the market. For a moment, he regarded Xu Zixi as a bosom friend of different generations and completely left Yan Yincheng on the side.
Finally, when Yan Haikun left temporarily, Yan Yincheng squeezed beside Xu Zixi and said very dissatisfiedly, "Why do you have so much to talk about with this old man? Zixi, since we came back here, you've said no more than three sentences to me..."
Xu Zixi stood on tiptoe, hooked his neck, kissed him on the face, and said with a smile, "That's because he's your father. I also want to get on good terms with him so that it'll be easier for us to get along in the future."
Her words instantly swept away the unhappiness in Yan Yincheng's heart. He hooked her waist and said, "But how do you know so much about antique knowledge? And how can you accurately name them?"
Xu Zixi said, "That's what I find strange. Brother Cheng, the history of this world is the same as that of the world I'm from. My grandfather also had one of these collections. Like Uncle Yan's, it was a fake. And my antique knowledge was instilled in me by my grandfather."
Xu Zixi never told Yan Yincheng that this world might be a novel. She was afraid that if she said it, he would be sad and feel that he was further away from her.
Yan Yincheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Really? So, except for the place names being different from those in the world you're from, everything else is the same?"
Xu Zixi said, "Yes. Maybe this is a parallel world. Brother Cheng, do you know the concept of a parallel world?"
Yan Yincheng nodded. "Of course I do. I've also thought about this problem. Otherwise, I can't explain your arrival."
Seeing his eyebrows slightly frowned, Xu Zixi reached out her hand to smooth the wrinkles and said with a smile, "Okay, this isn't an important thing. Although I've come to another world, I have another family here. I like Uncle Yan very much. Talking to him makes me think of my grandfather."
He said fiercely, "In this family, you're only allowed to like me."
"Okay, okay, okay. I only like you."
As the night grew deeper, it became quiet outside.
The two kids were excited all the way on the plane during the day. After only playing for a while, they were so tired that they fell asleep on the sofa. Xu Zixi originally planned to carry the two kids back to their room, but Yin Shulan held her hand and whispered to her:
"Carry them to our room. We'll take care of the kids tonight. You go and accompany A Cheng."
Xu Zixi was quite embarrassed. "The kids may be a bit noisy at night. I'm afraid it'll affect your sleep."
Yin Shulan said with a gentle smile, "It doesn't matter. No matter how noisy they are, we're willing."
After washing up and changing into her pajamas, Xu Zixi walked barefoot on the soft carpet and knocked on Yan Yincheng's door. From the moment the door was knocked to the moment it was opened, it took no more than three seconds, as if someone was hiding behind the door waiting for her deliberately.
The man had already changed into a comfortable shirt. Under the warm yellow light, his slightly messy short hair was hanging down, making him look like he was just in his early twenties.
Attracted by such good looks, Xu Zixi asked with a smile, "Brother Cheng, can you show me the room where you've lived for decades?"
"My pleasure."
Her wrist was held, and she was pulled into the room and picked up into the air.
She hooked his neck, and her feet swayed in the air. She coquettishly said, "Brother Cheng, my feet are a bit cold."
He said dissatisfiedly, "I've said many times, don't always walk barefoot. You'll get sick."
She smiled. "But shoes can't warm my feet."
He threw her into the quilt, and his body like a furnace covered hers. Her feet were instantly warmed by him. Held in the man's arms, Xu Zixi looked around the room, peeping at everything related to him.
Yan Yincheng's room was very large and spacious, and it was very straightforward and simple. There were no extra decorations to block the view, and the whole picture could be seen at a glance.
Maybe to take care of his eyes, there were very few furnishings in Yan Yincheng's room. Even if there were, the edges were round, so that he wouldn't be injured by accidental bumps.
Opposite the bed was a whole wall of models. There were simple ones and complex ones, wooden ones and metal ones. There were so many that it looked extremely spectacular.
Old Master Yan liked to collect antiques, while Yan Yincheng liked to collect models. They were really worthy of being father and son.
"What story do you want to hear?" Yan Yincheng asked.
Xu Zixi said with a smile, "Just hear... the story of the wooden model in the third grid from the left on the top layer of the cabinet."
"That was a gift I got when I was ten years old. I went to Lucheng with my father to visit a mortise and tenon master..."
He told his story slowly, but gradually, his voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, the two told another kind of story in another way.
They had a good night's sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, a long - time acquaintance of Xu Zixi's came to the Yan family villa.
When Yan Zhen arrived at the Yan family mansion, Yan Haikun was playing games with the two kids, while Xu Zixi was discussing with Yin Shulan how to trim the potted plants in their hands.
The whole living room was noisy, which was completely different from the feeling it used to give. Looking at the kind smile on Yan Haikun's face, Yan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he felt inexplicably sad. His footsteps stopped at the door, and he didn't really want to step in, afraid that his arrival would disrupt this warm picture.
It was Steward Pang who found him and greeted him, "Young Master Sun, you're here."
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up at the door. So Yan Zhen no longer hid and walked into the room. He took the initiative to greet them:
"Grandpa, Grandma. Uncle, Auntie."
There was also a lawyer in a suit behind him.
The kids saw Yan Zhen for the first time. After hearing Yan Zhen's address, they tilted their heads and asked Xu Zixi, "Mommy, who is this uncle? Why does he also call Grandpa and Grandma?"
Xu Zixi laughed and said to them, "Grandpa has three children. Your daddy is the youngest one. The one in front of you is the child of your Second Uncle. His name is Yan Zhen. You should call him brother."
Teacher Chen had already taught the two kids about family relationships and titles. Besides, they had been in kindergarten for some time, so they understood as soon as they heard it.
This was their cousin! The kids left Yan Haikun's arms and took the initiative and enthusiastically welcomed Yan Zhen:
"Good morning, Brother Yan Zhen! I'm Xu Yixuan!"
"I'm Yan Jingxu!"
"Nice to meet you. Please take care of me!"
