Song Zhixing hung up the phone and threw it on the desk in the dormitory. He stared at the phone for two or three minutes, and finally...
His shoulders drooped dejectedly.
It's not that he didn't feel it, but even though he felt it, he didn't mean to pay any attention to her.
Song Zhixing threw her phone into the drawer and forced herself not to think about it anymore. She took out the book, put on her earphones, and listened to the foreign words in the book over and over again. However, after listening for ten minutes, she finally took off the earphones, feeling a little upset and unable to listen to a single word.
In my mind, there is always the scene of Tang Yu's family of three and his aunt together.
In fact... they must look very pleasing to the eye together...
—
On the restaurant's corridor.
After Tang Yu hung up the phone with Song Zhixing, he did not go back immediately, but just looked inside through the heavy glass of the restaurant. At the table in the center, Li Hanyan was sitting there elegantly, accompanying her mother Su Fengjin. It can be seen that her mother is quite satisfied with Li Hanyan. Although the two had just met not long ago, they were still chatting enthusiastically.
"Was it Zhixing who called just now?" Tang Yiming came out of the bathroom and just heard his conversation.
Tang Yu did not hide it and said "hmm". Tang Yiming put his hands behind his back and sighed: "I haven't seen this little girl for several years. I don't know what she looks like now."
Tang Yu handed his phone to his father and said, "She said she wanted to meet you and mother."
Tang Yiming didn't think too deeply about it. He nodded and took the phone. On Tang Yu's phone screen, there was Song Zhixing's young face with an innocent smile. After Tang Yiming took a look, his body shook violently, and he was stunned for a long time. His eyes were focused on the photo, and all kinds of emotions were fluctuating in his eyes, as if he saw another person through that face.
Tang Yu glanced at him, his eyes darkened, and took the phone back. Tang Yiming was still staring at the phone with a sense of loss. Tang Yu knew what his father was thinking, and said lightly: "She does look more and more like her mother."
Tang Yiming was obviously shocked, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he saw her as a child, the little girl's facial features had not yet fully developed, and at most she was just a little like her mother, but now... the contours of her facial features are somewhat like her mother's when she was young.
"This is also why I don't agree with her meeting mom now." Tang Yu said: "Mom is just getting better and can forget about the past for the time being. I don't want her to be stimulated by Xingxing and lose control of her mind. Of course..."
At this point, his tone became more serious. "I don't want to scare her. I don't want Xingxing to know what happened in the past. She only thinks that her parents lost their lives trying to save Grandpa, and she doesn't know anything deeper. So - I hope that you, as the elders, will never mention these things in front of her."
Every word Tang Yu spoke was spoken with great emphasis.
Tang Yiming sighed, as if he was filled with regret, "I was confused at the beginning..."
"Don't mention what happened back then." Tang Yu stopped his father's confession, "I will take good care of Xingxing in the future."
Tang Yiming nodded and sighed regretfully: "Yes, you should take care of her. Your mother and I owe her and the Li family this."
After Tang Yiming finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of his wife, his expression becoming more gloomy, and he said in a hoarse voice: "For the time being, don't let Xingxing meet your mother. It just so happens that the day Tang Yi gets married is the day she takes the college entrance examination, so it can be dealt with."
Tang Yu nodded, "Let's go in first, so that mom won't have to wait anxiously."
Tang Yiming walked in front first, followed by Tang Yu. Su Fengjin saw his son coming, with a look of pride and satisfaction on his face. He stretched out his hand to him from a distance. Tang Yu held his hand and asked, "Are all the dishes served?"
"Everything is ready." Su Fengjin spoke to her son in a gentle and tender voice. She was born beautiful, and although her mental state was not stable, she was well maintained. She was already over 50 years old, but her face was still tight and shiny. At first glance, she looked like a lady.
Tang Yu held her hand and was about to sit down. Su Fengjin patted the seat on the other side: "Son, sit here! Sit with Han Yan."
Tang Yu glanced at Li Hanyan. She smiled and nodded generously: "Sit down. It's okay."
He sat down between the two women as he was told. Tang Yiming was not in the right state and was distracted.
Su Fengjin seemed to be in a very good mood. She picked up food for her son and her future daughter-in-law.
"Aunt, please eat by yourself." Li Hanyan also responded politely.
Su Fengjin brought up the most important topic of the night, "Hanyan, it's rare for your aunt to return to Youcheng, so now that we finally meet, I'll speak directly to you if I have anything to say."
Li Hanyan put down his chopsticks and said respectfully, "You talk, I'm listening."
"Your uncle and I said we had to come to see you today because we were provoked by the fifth child. You said the fifth child is only in his 20s and is about to get married. The second child in our family is already 30, but there is no movement at all between you two. You are not in a hurry, but it makes us both anxious." Su Fengjin glanced at his son beside him. He still looked calm, as if what he was talking about was not his business at all. Su Fengjin was used to his son's cold temper. He looked back at Li Hanyan's pretty face without much concern. "What your uncle and I meant is that we should wait for the fifth child's wedding to be done, take a break for two days, and then we can arrange things for you two."
Li Hanyan was delighted. But seeing that Tang Yu had no expression on his face and was just playing with his phone, as if he had no interest in this topic at all, her heart sank again.
Tang Yiming said from the side: "Don't blame your aunt for being anxious. She has just gotten better recently and is thinking about having a grandson."
Hearing Tang Yiming's words, Li Hanyan, who was always graceful and elegant, also blushed.
"There's no rush to have a grandson for now. Wait another two years." Tang Yu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. He put down his phone and glanced at the three people calmly.
When everyone heard what he said, they thought that the marriage was going to happen, and everyone was happy. Especially Li Hanyan, she couldn't help but look at Tang Yu twice, with joy in her eyes.
But, unexpectedly, the next words were: "As for marriage, that's what I wanted to talk to you about today - my engagement with Han Yan, unfortunately, can only be cancelled. For the time being, I have no plans to get married in the next two years."
It was a whole sentence, without the slightest hesitation. Every word was spoken with such force that there was no room for maneuver.
The other three were all shocked.
Li Hanyan just sat there blankly without saying a word. She had expected this ending thousands of times.
