Shi Ci didn't have classes today, but she was in a bad mood because she received a call from her mother.

Shi Ci thought her mother was very cool when she was young. She was originally from Guangzhou in the south, but went to study in the ice city in the north. After graduation, she worked as a travel reporter for several years and traveled to most of China. She could speak dialects from all over the country, saw all kinds of interesting things, and her writing was interesting. Finally, she fell in love with her father at first sight in L city, and settled in L city, worked, got married, and had children.

After retirement, Ms. Ding entered menopause, and she faced two inevitable crises in her life. The first year was fine. She didn't stay at home, and took her old man to visit places in China that she had never been to. In the second year, she started to travel abroad, but she couldn't travel for a long time because she was old, so she was idle. After playing the elderly square dance and the choir, she began to get bored, and the symptoms of menopause appeared, and she couldn't stand it anymore. Then she did one thing - call Shi Ci to come back to China.

Ms. Ding Miaoyi, who has been a reporter and editor and has been engaged in writing all her life, is very eloquent: "First of all, I don't want a foreign wife, even a banana with a yellow outside and a white inside!

Second, you are my daughter, my sweet little cotton-padded jacket, right? What kind of little cotton-padded jacket is that across the Pacific Ocean? It is a kite with a broken string, a wild horse without reins, a cooked duck that flew away! "

Shi Ci, who is called a kite, a wild horse, and a cooked duck: "… "

Shi Ci: "Ms. Ding, your writing is really good..."

Ms. Ding: "As long as you come back, I promise not to interfere with your private life. If others dare to say anything, don't worry, I will definitely rush in front of you!"

Shi Ci: "Ms. Ding, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly become old..."

Ms. Ding Miaoyi didn’t know why she suddenly felt sad. “I’m 57 in the blink of an eye. I’m half buried in the earth and my little cotton-padded jacket is not around. My heart is so cold…”

Shi Ci: “…”

Shi Ci: "Is it not okay for me to come back?"

After returning, Ms. Ding really did what she said. Her emotions remained temporarily stable. She continued to dance square dance, continued to go to the choir, and continued to show her love with old man Shi.

That was nothing, Shi Ci and Shi Hai knew that their parents had always had a good relationship. But after the Chinese New Year this year, Ms. Ding turned 60, and she suddenly thought of something else.

She wants to be a grandmother.

Shi Hai was still studying, so this burden naturally fell on Shi Ci.

Shi Ci was horrified: "You don't know that I can't reproduce asexually, nor can I reproduce sexually, right?"

Ms. Ding: "… Of course I know. You should quickly fall in love and live together, and then go out and find a sperm bank. Mixed-blood babies are so cute!"

Shi Ci was frightened out of her wits.

Ms. Ding was puzzled. "You don't think you won't be induced to give birth because you're a lesbian, do you?"

"What's wrong? I can't even have a son-in-law, so is it too much for me to have a grandchild?"

"What's wrong? I can't even urge them to get married, so why can't I urge them to have children?"

Shi Ci: “…”

Shi Ci fled in panic and stayed in school after the Chinese New Year. It has been more than a month since the start of the school year, and he still doesn't dare to go home to face Ms. Ding.

But--

That morning, Shi Ci looked at his phone and sighed, and had to pick it up.

"Aci, do you know what day it is today?" Ms. Ding's tone sounded quite kind.

"What day?" Shi Ci quickly thought about the birthdays and anniversaries of his family members, but none of them were today.

"Today is the Spring Equinox!"

"Ah? Oh, and then what?"

"What then? The spring equinox is suitable for irrigation and sowing of crops. For people, spring is the time to fall in love.

When will you bring your girlfriend back?"

"Who told you that I have a girlfriend?" Shi Ci said calmly, "Xiao Hai?"

"Don't worry about anyone. When are you going to bring her back to meet her parents?"

Shi Ci secretly made a note of Shi Hai in his heart, and then said, "We broke up. So there's no need to see each other anymore."

"Break up? Why?"

Shi Ci felt a headache, "Ms. Ding, can we not talk about this anymore..."

"Can you please stop thinking about me all the time and pay more attention to your stupid son!"

"Xiao Hai, what do you have to worry about? When he was in college, I gave him 16 words: respect women, have a good relationship, don't forget to study, and remember to wear a condom. I think that's enough! At this stage, he doesn't need too much attention. What he needs is you!"

I don’t need it either, please don’t pay too much attention to me!

Shi Ci sighed, "I know this sixteen-character policy, you are really talented!... By the way, where is Pudding? Is it time for his physical examination?" Pudding is a male Husky in their family.

"That stupid kid can eat, run, and stick to your dad. I don't care about him. Don't change the subject."

"Don't think I'm a bitch, but I'm not good at it.

Shi Ci said in his heart with great pain - Could you please favor boys over girls

Every time she finished talking to her mother on the phone, Shi Ci would feel that a few wrinkles had grown on her face. She decided that she would not go home to see her parents unless it was absolutely necessary.

After hanging up the phone, she drove out and passed by the administrative building. She stopped to do some work in the administrative office.

After chatting with several office staff in the administrative department, she unexpectedly saw a figure when she returned to the car.

Very familiar.

It was a rare morning with excellent sunlight. The sky above was a generous and bright blue. The campus was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. All of this provided excellent light for the figure.

What a coincidence.

Shi Ci sighed again.

The university covers an area of about 6,000 acres and has about 60,000 students. The main campus is about 3,000 acres and has 25,000 to 30,000 students.

How come they keep meeting each other

There really is some connection between this and our Shi family, Shi Ci thought.

The girl stood beside her bike, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and next to her was her bicycle. Shi Ci took a quick look and saw that it was an extremely ordinary bike, which could not be folded and was old in color. It might even be second-hand.

Perhaps the girl noticed someone approaching, she turned her head and glanced at her.

Both sides were a little stunned.

Tang Zuo had a bad day out today. He was riding a bike while memorizing words with headphones on. In order to avoid several boys from the mountain bike club, he failed to control his center of gravity and his handlebars hit a car as he was going downhill.

With a hissing sound.

Tang Zuo's heart trembled.

She put the bicycle away and looked at it carefully. It was a quite long stripe, which was particularly eye-catching against the milky white body of the bicycle.

Tang Zuo didn't even recognize what kind of car it was. He walked around the car and saw the logo, then took a picture and asked Zhang Zinan.

Zhang Zinan: "It's over. Porsche 718 Cayman, this one costs about 800,000. Run away."

There are quite a few cameras near the administrative building.

Can't escape.

Besides, it was indeed her responsibility.

Tang Zuo took out a notebook from his bag, tore off a page, squatted down and wrote on the bag, "I am Tang Zuo, a student of the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages. My student number is xxxxxxxx. I accidentally scratched your bike while riding. I am so sorry! If you need compensation, please contact me. My mobile number is 135xxxxxxxx and my WeChat ID is also 135xxxxxxxx."

After she finished writing, she took the paper and looked for a place to stick it, and then she heard footsteps.

If she was not mistaken, this woman was Shi Hai's sister? A teacher at the School of Economics and Management

What’s his name? Yes, Shi Ci.

Then Zhang Zinan’s overview of the Shi family came into her mind again.

Tang Zuo pursed his lips unconsciously, not knowing how to start speaking.

The woman in front of me is too tall. Are all her family members this tall

And the high heels on your feet are stilettos, about ten centimeters high, right

Light grey striped shirt, brown-brown turtleneck, dark grey striped wide-leg pants. If you don't handle this combination well, it will look like a patient's uniform.

But it looks very chic on her, just like a model.

"Mr. Tang," the woman curved her thin lips, "We meet again."

Tang Zhuo pursed his lips and said, "Teacher Shi, I'm sorry... I scratched your car."

It seems that they know who is who.

That's what makes it interesting.

Shi Ci glanced casually at the scratches on his car, then his eyes fell on the girl's black hair, and then dropped down from her smooth and full forehead.

Creamy, light and soft skin, a straight, slightly pointed nose, dark and bright grape-like eyes, small, slightly swollen cherry lips, and a slender and bony body.

If what she saw on the first side of the cafeteria was a full-outline long-distance view, and what she saw on the second side of the school road was a blurry close-up view, then what she saw at this moment was a high-definition close-up.

That boy, when did he have such good taste...

Shi Ci smiled and pointed at her hand, "What is that?"

The girl rubbed the paper with her slender white fingertips before handing it to her.

Shi Ci took it and pressed the paper with the edge of his bright white nails. His two rows of naturally curled eyelashes moved slightly along with his eyeballs.

But in half a second he raised his head again and looked at the girl in front of him.

She was carrying a black rhombus-patterned backpack with a felt animal hanging on it. It looked like a bird? Or a chicken

She must be a little nervous and scared, her back was straight and her cherry-like mouth was tightly pursed.

Her facial features are so charming and girlish, but her temperament is cold and difficult to approach.

What a lovely bunch of contradictions.

At this moment, Shi Ci had an idea in his mind and decided to be a bad guy.

She collected the paper with an embarrassed expression, "Hey, I just bought this car a few days ago."

In fact, it has been half a year.

“This is really…” He touched the scratch and let a distressed expression appear on his face.

The young girl's shoulders and neck were tense, and her white teeth bit her plump lips unconsciously, but she did not retreat, looking straight at herself, "I'm sorry, please give me a compensation figure."

The semester had just begun and the subsidies and scholarships for poor students had not yet been issued. Tang Zuo added and subtracted his savings in his mind. If the amount was too expensive, he would have to borrow from Zhang Zinan temporarily.

She was very reluctant to have any financial dealings with Zinan. Usually, it was just as simple as exchanging a meal and buying some snacks.

Today's luck is so bad, Tang Zuo is very depressed.

The brown mole in the middle of the little girl's left eyelid is in a very special position, like a tear. God must have been especially kind to her. Her eyes are already beautiful enough, but God has given her a special favor to make them even more beautiful.

Don’t know what it looks like when you cry

Shi Ci admitted that he had some bad intentions.

She looked at her and said, "Actually, you don't have to pay compensation. I have a suggestion. You can just go out for dinner with my brother Shi Hai. He has always wanted to meet you."

"Student Tang Zuo, do you think this is acceptable?"
