Zhou Qinding's restaurant is in the center of the South District. Although Xiao Wanqing has not returned for many years, she still found the place smoothly with the help of her own impression and navigation.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Xiao Wanqing went to the back seat to pick up the gifts she had prepared for Lin Xian's grandparents and grandparents. Lin Xian stood behind her thoughtfully to help her share, and took the gifts she handed over. One gift after another. .
Seeing that she was about to close the car door and leave, Xiao Wanqing looked at the long box in Lin Xian's hand, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, reached out to take it from Lin Xian's hand, and put it back in the car.
"What's this?" Lin Xian followed Xiao Wanqing's return to her movements, wondering.
Xiao Wanqing locked the car, took more than half of the gift box from Lin Xian, and explained as she walked out of the parking lot: "It's my birthday present for you."
"Huh!" Lin Xian raised the corners of his lips excitedly. "Then why don't you take them with you?"
Xiao Wanqing glanced sideways at Lin Xian who was surprised, and said softly and embarrassedly: "Because after thinking about it, it might not be suitable to give it to you in front of your mother."
"Wow! What is it?" Lin Xian became even more excited. She tilted her head, raised her eyebrows, and teased with a smirk: "Xiao Panpan, what's in it is something inappropriate. No, I want to go back and take a look first." As she spoke, she was about to move .
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help but raised her hand and flicked Lin Xian's smooth forehead with her index finger, and laughed at her coquettishly, "What are you thinking about every day in your little brain?"
"I miss you." Lin Xian pouted and replied without hesitation.
Xiao Wanqing's heart softened when she heard her answer. She gave a doting chuckle, plucked Lin Xian's thin bangs, and said to satisfy her curiosity: "It's a mouse and a mechanical keyboard. Didn't you complain that the keyboard of the gaming notebook is not very good, the mouse Is it a little unresponsive too? I refer to other people’s recommendations for the mouse, and I bought Dareu, and I originally planned to buy the Cherry Green Switch for the keyboard, but I thought that you might need to use the codewords in the future, so I neutralized it and finally I bought the red switch. You can try it, if you feel that the keyboard is too soft and the sense of rhythm and paragraph is not enough, we can change it.”
She has been wanting to buy a mouse and a keyboard for a long time. But now, Lin Xian already knows that every penny of money is hard to come by, and she wants to save it all to enjoy it with Xiao Wanqing, so she has been restraining herself from doing anything. Everything Xiao Wanqing said was sent to the place Lin Xian longed for the most.
Lin Xian stared at Xiao Wanqing's eyes full of shining light, like starlight and water waves. She leaned close to Xiao Wanqing, almost stood close to her, pressed her forehead and said softly: "Thank you, Xiao Xiaowan. No change, the one you choose is my favorite, and I will cherish it. "
She pampered herself too much. Lin Xian is sweet and touching. Zhou Qin knew that she was good at playing games without mentioning her. If she knew that she still wanted to spend a lot of money on equipment, he would probably have to talk about her to death. How rare it is to be treated tenderly by such a person.
"Then why isn't it suitable to give it to me in front of my mother?" Lin Xian asked knowingly, wanting to tease Xiao Wanqing.
Xiao Wanqing blinked her eyes, smiled and refused to speak.
"Okay. Xiao Panpan, have you started to be afraid of your mother-in-law so early?" Lin Xian leaned into her ear with a smile and teased.
When Xiao Wanqing heard the word "mother-in-law", her heart trembled at first, and then she became inexplicably shy, her face turned red up to her ears. She took a few steps away from Lin Xian, turned around and walked forward quickly, annoyed: "Xianxian, you are talking nonsense again."
Lin Xian caught up and grabbed Xiao Wanqing's wrist, with cunning and tenderness in his eyes, resting his chin on Xiao Wanqing's shoulder, blew in her ear, and whispered ambiguously: "Then tonight, you have to prove it to me. Is it actually mother-in-law?" She wanted to give herself to Xiao Panpan, but Xiao Panpan always restrained herself, saying that she was still too young and waited until she was a little older.
The blood all over Xiao Wanqing's body seemed to rush to her head in an instant, her face turned red. She glanced at the girl with a complex and restrained expression, and was about to say something when Zhou Qin called out in confusion from far behind: "Xianxian, Xiao Wan?"
The moment she heard the sound, Xiao Wanqing trembled unconsciously, like a frightened rabbit, she reflexively bounced away from Lin Xian a few steps away.
Sister Zhou Qin, how many have you seen? Shouldn't you be able to hear their conversation
Lin Xian reacted faster than her. She stood up straight, stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Wanqing's wrist, which was overreacting, and stopped her from continuing to move away. She turned around, looked at her mother and grandpa from far to near with a natural expression, and replied with a calm smile: "Mom, grandpa, you have just arrived."
Xiao Wanqing bit her lip and gradually calmed down. She clenched her fist imperceptibly, adjusted her mood, and showed a decent smile as usual. "Teacher, sister, long time no see."
While still parking in the distance, Zhou Qin saw two women walking around near the exit of the parking lot, talking and laughing, intimate, and their body language was so intimate and ambiguous that it seemed a bit unusual. As she approached, she slowly realized that the two were Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing.
After seeing clearly that it was Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing, she subconsciously ignored the strange feeling that flashed in her heart, and sighed with relief, it seemed that Xian Xian and Xiao Wan really got along very well. Also, if they don't get along well, how can Xianxian be able to invite Xiao Wan.
"It's a little thinner, but it looks more energetic." Zhou Qin's father carefully looked at his lover whom he hadn't seen for almost two years, and patted Xiao Wanqing's shoulder in comfort. Xiao Wanqing's state is obviously much better than it was two years ago, and she is even a different person.
"Let the teacher worry about it. I heard from sister Zhou Qin that you had cervical spondylitis before. Are you better now?" Xiao Wanqing walked beside him, asking in a warm voice.
"It's an old problem. People are old. It's normal. Don't take it to heart." The old man said openly.
"Grandpa, I hope..." Lin Xian's mouth quickened, and he almost didn't change his words. She quickly stopped and changed her words: "Aunt Xiao has been thinking about it since she heard about it. Look, she heard that the rubber pillow is good for the cervical spine, so she asked someone to bring it back from Thailand." Lin Xian leaned forward sweetly to help her sweetheart Performance.
She didn't know that Xiao Wanqing had prepared so much for this meeting until she saw Xiao Wanqing put it out in big bags and small bags.
"Silly girl, just come here, what are you spending money on?" the old man said kindly.
"I said the same thing, but Aunt Xiao just insisted. When I bought this pillow, I told her that it looked the same. She was worried. She carefully studied the quality and carefully selected it for several days." Lin Xian started The face is not red and the heart is not beating.
The teacher looked at her more lovingly, and Zhou Qin also gave her a grateful look. Xiao Wanqing involuntarily turned her head to look at Lin Xian, her face was a little hot.
It's not that she doesn't know these skills of communicating with people, but she has a thin skin and has always been embarrassed to behave like this. She didn't know before that Lin Xian still had the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
This little clever ghost. Xiao Wanqing is full of love.
When they arrived at the reserved box, Lin Zhan and Lin Xian's grandparents and grandmothers were waiting for them inside. Seeing Xiao Wanqing, the three old men hadn't seen Xiao Wanqing for a long time, they pulled the chair beside them for Xiao Wanqing to sit down, took her hand affectionately and cared about her recent situation kindly.
None of them dared to mention the past. At Xiao Wanqing's age, they were undoubtedly most concerned about their health, work and relationship status.
Lin Xian moved the chair closer to Xiao Wanqing, and she sat down beside Xiao Wanqing, fearing that she would not be able to cope with the old man and her mother rushing forward to interrogate her over enthusiastically about her marriage, she joked to Xiao Wanqing pretending to be jealous : "Aunt Xiao, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have invited you here. You see, grandparents only have you in their eyes, and there is no little birthday star like me."
The old people were interrupted by their granddaughter, and their attention was instantly diverted, and they turned to ask about Lin Xian's recent life.
Xiao Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
However, Zhou Qin is not so easy to fool. "Xiao Wan, a single colleague just came to my hospital, a local, a British returnee with a doctor's degree, a good-looking talent, with a rare hairline intact, how about meeting him sometime?"
Lin Xian was dealing with the old people with his mouth, but his mind was always locked on Xiao Wanqing. Seeing that her mother was so quick to arrange a blind date, Lin Xian frowned, turned her head and called her in a displeased voice, "Mom..."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qin was puzzled.
"Aunt Xiao finally came here, so don't bother her with these things, okay?" Lin Xian was a little anxious, and his words were not very good.
This year her mother didn't know how many blind dates she had introduced to Xiao Xiaowan, and she didn't know how to stop at all! Due to affection, Xiao Panpan would usually add the other party's WeChat account. Those who are knowledgeable are fine, but those who are not interested find Xiao Wanqing to chat with Xiao Wanqing every day, and she will be enraged to death watching it.
Zhou Qin was also a little displeased: "Why am I bothering her? Don't interrupt if your child doesn't understand."
Lin Xian was annoyed: "I'm celebrating my nineteenth birthday today, so I'm not a child anymore." She was about to retort, but Xiao Wanqing stretched out her hand under the table and held Lin Xian's hand, calming her down with her eyes, telling her not to be impatient.
Lin Zhan seemed to see the tense atmosphere here, and smoothed things over and said humorously: "Qinqin, is there another high-quality bachelor in your college? You have to stay away from him, I feel a sense of crisis."
Several old people were amused to laugh out loud, and Zhou Qin couldn't help but soothed his brows and eyes and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
The dishes arrived in time, and the quarrel just now was a page-turning.
At the dinner table, the topic of chat turned around and turned back to Lin Xian. Zhou Qin was still brooding, and asked Lin Xian again if he really didn't want to go abroad as an exchange student.
Lin Xian nodded and said firmly, "I won't go." But compared to the last time when she refused to let go, she seemed more prepared and planned this time: "I won't go abroad as an exchange student, but graduate students still have to go abroad." I want to study in this school. In the radiation area of the south, Jingnan Master of Finance can be regarded as a good one, so why should we look far away.”
She said softly: "Besides, I always feel that if I go out, if there are good working conditions there, it may be difficult to come back. However, you and Dad, as well as grandparents and grandparents Here, how can I go so far alone with peace of mind."
Zhou Qin was overwhelmed by the child's sudden sensible words, but compared to their own, she cared more about whether Lin Xian's life would be the best and smoothest. Therefore, she wanted to persuade Lin Xian again. "But, Xianxian..."
But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Lin Xian's grandma: "Qinqin, Xianxian is also a big child, and she has her own thoughts and plans for her own life. We are grown-ups. , she should also decentralize power appropriately. After all, she still has to walk the road herself."
After all, the old man is reluctant to let his granddaughter be too far away, and he is also afraid that it will be really settled abroad in the future as Lin Xian said.
Lin Xian's grandmother echoed: "Xianxian, if you really think about it yourself, you won't regret it in the future, and grandma will support you."
Zhou Qin's father also said: "Xianxian, you are responsible for your own choice, just think it over."
Lin Xian nodded affirmatively, "I thought it through very clearly."
"Then Xianxian, you can just follow your own ideas." Lin Xian's grandfather made the final decision.
Zhou Qin couldn't sing with one hand alone, holding his breath in his throat. After a long while, she had no choice but to find a step for herself, and compromised: "Then you chose it yourself. You must not suddenly change your mind when the time comes, and then blame me for not letting you prepare earlier."
"Mom, don't worry, I will never do it. I will walk on my knees on the road I choose. I will never regret it."
"What nonsense, we must leave with a smile." Grandma said angrily.
Seeing that Zhou Qin had completely let go of the matter of studying abroad, Lin Xian smiled and looked at Xiao Wanqing happily.
Pipi shrimp is placed in the hot pot, which is delicious but extremely difficult to peel. The pippi shrimp was cooked, and the old man loved the younger generation, so he picked two for Lin Xian and Xiao Wanqing who were beside him.
Lin Xian skillfully peeled the shells, she subconsciously pushed her own bowl with the peeled shrimp meat in front of Xiao Wanqing, and said softly, "Try the taste." As she spoke, she brought Xiao Wanqing's bowl in front of her.
Xiao Wanqing's heart was about to jump into her throat. She quietly looked at the expressions of other people from the corner of her eye. As expected, the old man and Zhou Qin and his wife both looked surprised.
The atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.
Zhou Qin was surprised that both Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian were obsessed with cleanliness. When eating with others, they would always use serving chopsticks to pick up dishes, but they didn't mind the other's used bowls and chopsticks
The old people were surprised that Lin Xian was so considerate? They have never been treated like this by Lin Xian. A little jealous.
Xiao Wanqing stomped lightly under the table on Lin Xian, who was still buried in peeling shrimp and didn't notice. Lin Xian noticed that Xiao Wanqing was stepping on her, and looked at Xiao Wanqing suspiciously, Xiao Wanqing signaled Lin Xian with restrained eyes.
Only then did Lin Xian react tacitly and belatedly. She grinned, showing a bright smile, peeled the prawns in her bowl that she was going to continue to give to Xiao Wanqing, and said to her grandpa: "Grandpa, you should try the taste too, grandma, grandpa and grandma, wait a minute, I will peel the prawns." Hurry up, I'll peel it off for you."
"No need, just eat it by yourself, Xianxian." The grandfather looked at his granddaughter lovingly.
"Xianxian has grown up, and is becoming more and more considerate to others." Several old people were delighted from ear to ear.
"What about me?" Zhou Qin ate.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Xian said with a smile.
Xiao Wanqing let go of what she raised, looked at Lin Xian with a smile on her face, and lowered her head while Lin Xian was helping everyone peel shrimp, peeled one for Lin Xian and put it in her bowl.
This time, no one felt strange.
This meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests. To Xiao Wanqing's surprise, maybe the desire to be with Lin Xian has overwhelmed everything else. In the face of all this, apart from occasional panic and guilt, it seems that it is not so difficult and insurmountable.
When leaving the restaurant, everyone split into three groups, Lin Zhan sent his parents home, Zhou Qin also sent his parents home, Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian went back to the North District.
The car drove on the opposite road to them, and when it stopped at the first red light, Lin Xian finally couldn't help but unbuttoned his seat belt, and pulled the blanket over his knees to block their movements. Xiao Wanqing quickly and fiercely kissed her lips.
"Xiao Panpan, thank you for being so brave." Lin Xian closed his eyes slightly and looked at her, whispering softly.
Xiao Wanqing stared at the girl tenderly, and the deep love in her heart seemed to be overflowing. After a while, a beautiful smile bloomed on her lips, and she made up her mind and said softly: "Xianxian, I have another gift for you."
At the dinner table just now, she also gave Lin Xian an ipad. And gifts? Lin Xian opened his eyes wide in surprise, a little flattered.
The woman smiled softly and took a beautifully packaged box from the car door on her side and handed it to her.
Lin Xian frowned, and asked softly, "Can I open it now?"
Xiao Wanqing nodded.
Lin Xian opened the package, revealing a thick cardboard cover. She subconsciously turned to the first page, and two photos came into view—one was a photo of a naked baby in black and white light, and it was written "taken by Panpan Full Moon", and the other was a photo studio style, showing a pair of young and handsome The couple, holding a baby in their hands, read "Photographed in Panpan Hundred Days" below.
Undoubtedly, this is a photo album—Xiao Wanqing's family photo album.
Lin Xian couldn't help raising the corners of her lips to look at Xiao Wanqing.
Xiao Wanqing narrowed her eyes and said with a tender smile, "Xianxian, I give it to you, my past."
