What Xue Chen gave Xia Zhen was a big bag of snacks, which his parents brought back from abroad. There is also a ticket for the acrobatic show.

"I won't be polite about the snacks, but I don't need the tickets, because Pei Chengan has already bought them. I'll go to see them with him tonight. You can give them to others." Xia Zhen pursed her lips and smiled.

Xue Chen squeezed the fingers holding the ticket, then put it back in his pocket.

Xia Zhen took the bag of snacks from his hands and said happily: "Haha, it looks delicious, thank you. When did your parents come back? Is your sister better?"

"I came back the day before yesterday, and my sister also came back." Xue Chen replied, looking at Xia Zhen, and pursing his lips tightly.

Xia Zhen smiled, "It's good to have someone to take care of you when you come back. If you've been injured for a hundred days, you need to take good care of it."

Xia Zhen didn't know Xue Nan well. If it was in the past, based on her good friend relationship with Xue Chen, she might have asked to visit, but now the relationship between the two is really ambiguous, so it's better not to go.

"En." Xue Chen responded lightly, suddenly feeling that he was too boring. "Where are you going? I'll see you off. You have so many things..."

"No, you forgot that I still have Pei Chengan, he'll be here in a while." Xia Zhen lied, Pei Chengan was going to have a meeting with people from the club after climbing the mountain, and he wasn't sure when it would end, so they met at 6 o'clock in the evening. One hour before the acrobatic show. It's almost 4pm now.

Xue Chen smiled bitterly, "Then I'll go first."

"Ok, bye."

Xia Zhen looked at the leaving car, sighed, and then became worried. She did have a lot of things, and she would only suffer if she continued shopping. She went to the intersection to take a taxi home, and waited for more than ten minutes to get a taxi. She regretted not letting Xue Chen see her off.

When she got home, she put the things on the coffee table, and then she fell on the sofa and wailed, "I'm so exhausted, baby!"

Ms. Tian had already come out of the room when she heard the sound, and began to attack Xia Zhen when she heard the words: "You are an old girl, and you have the nerve to call yourself a baby!"

"Only a mother is good in this world. A child with a mother is like a treasure." Xia Zhen sang, and then said: "Mom, if you refute me, it is tantamount to refuting this lyric. Think about it."

"I don't treat you as a treasure for a long time, you should pin this wish on your man." Ms. Tian didn't buy it.

Xia Zhen had to sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, I've lived at home for a long time, and I've been disliked."

"Every mistake, so you see when to move out."

Xia Zhen was really sad now, "Mom, have you found my long-lost brothers and sisters? So you want me to make room..."

"Crack!" Ms. Tian patted Xia Zhen's thigh, "What nonsense! Having one is enough for me. Do you understand me? If you and Xiao Pei are so affectionate and inseparable, you want to live day and night Stay together, mom won't object."

"Other mothers are worried that their daughters will be taken advantage of by others. Why do you want your daughter to be taken advantage of by others?" Xia Zhen really didn't understand, she wanted to find her father.

"You're too reserved..."

"Hehe... I'm not conservative." She is at the forefront of fashion, conservative or something, so don't get involved with her, okay

"Then is your first kiss still there?"

Xia Zhen was at a loss for words, but Ms. Tian had a clear expression on her face. Xia Zhen argued, "I haven't met... It's not a good time."

Ms. Tian didn't need to say anything, her disdainful expression showed everything.

Depressedly, Xia Zhen flipped through a bag of snacks given by Xue Chen, trying to turn her grief into appetite.

Ms. Tian saw the dense English words on the package and asked, "Where did these come from?"

"Xue Chen gave it." Xia Zhen replied.

"You have a boyfriend now, so don't get too close to other men all day long, it won't affect you well."

"We're just friends." Xia Zhen said, grabbed an unknown snack wrapped in white and green, and threw it into her mouth. After chewing a mouthful, a choking smell filled the mouth and nasal cavity immediately, and tears almost came out. .

It turns out that the green one is mustard!

She couldn't stand the taste of mustard in her mouth, so she couldn't bear it and vomited it out.

Ms. Tian scolded her a few words, and when Xia Zhen put one into her mouth, she stopped talking.

The mother and daughter finally calmed down, and Ms. Tian said depressedly: "Why do foreigners like to eat this kind of food?"

Although Xia Zhen nodded in agreement with her mother's words, she was secretly laughing. It was also very happy to see Ms. Tian depressed.

"By the way, I haven't finished what I just said. Be careful in the future, don't make Xiao Pei jealous."

"Oh." Failed to change the topic.

Ms. Tian knew from her expression that she was perfunctory and continued to communicate with her. "Think about it differently. If Xiao Pei was with other women all day long, would you be happy?"

"No!" Xia Zhen was decisive, with a serious expression.

Ms. Tian finally smiled with satisfaction, "So, don't do to others what you don't want done to you."

"Mmm! Mom, what you said is very reasonable." Xia Zhen stood up, "I'll go and ask Pei Chengan if there is any woman around him."

Of course Xia Zhen didn't ask, she had already asked before, she just ran away. Her mother has been paying too much attention to her and Pei Chengan's progress recently, and it is estimated that only announcing the marriage immediately will suit her.

Pei Chengan came home after five o'clock, took a shower and changed clothes, and went to pick up Xia Zhen after dinner.

The parents of both parties knew that their children were going on a date, so they cooked dinner for them on time, and urged them to go out when they were full.

This feeling of the whole family's support, most people must be very happy, Pei Chengan is also happy, Xia Zhen is a bit complicated, because the happier they are, the more disappointed they will be in the future.

Xia Zhen walked out of the community and saw Pei Chengan's life from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, probably because she said those unscrupulous things to him in the afternoon. In reality, she is far less unrestrained than in the virtual world.

However, during the journey to him, she had adjusted her mentality and faced him calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Pei Chengan behaved as usual, and opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner.

On the way, Xia Zhen chatted with Pei Chengan about the mountaineering activities.

"Is that event still available for registration?"

"You want to participate."

"No, I'm just curious." There is still a month to go, who knows what will happen to them at that time. Besides, climbing the mountain was too tiring, and she was a little scared.

Pei Chengan only thought that she didn't like mountain climbing and didn't want to go, and replied, "The deadline for registration is the day before the event, May 30th."

"Oh, so what are the requirements for the participants?"

"Sports enthusiasts are fine."

Xia Zhen nodded knowingly.

Twenty minutes before the performance started, Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan arrived.

Their position is very good, very far in front, Xia Zhen's heart hurts. "This ticket is expensive, right? How did you buy it? Did you buy it from a scalper?" She widened her eyes in surprise. If this is the case, she should have a good talk about life with him.

However, Pei Chengan laughed, quite heartily. Although he looked very good-looking when he smiled, he was so handsome, and many girls around him showed nympho expressions at him, but Xia Zhen, who was being ridiculed, really didn't want to see him like this.

Xia Zhen looked worried, and when she was about to express her opinion, Pei Chengan's smile finally subsided. "Don't worry, someone bought it for me."

"It still sounds about the same." Xia Zhen whispered.

Pei Chengan laughed again, and decided to tell her the truth. "My uncle is a staff member of the gymnasium. I asked him to help me buy it. The internal price is not expensive."

Well, Xia Zhen accepted this fact.

The performance started soon, the show was very exciting, Xia Zhen watched it attentively.

Maybe it's because of the good location and seeing too clearly, every exciting scene, Xia Zhen's heart is in her throat. Sometimes he couldn't help exclaiming, sometimes he closed his eyes and didn't dare to look, sometimes he couldn't help but grab Pei Chengan's sleeve, put his forehead on his shoulder, and turned back only after the danger was over.

Pei Chengan liked this kind of moment very much. Seeing her more nervous than an acrobat, a smile would always appear on her face.

After two hours, the performance ended, and finally the actors took their curtain call. Many audience members showed up at the end of the last performance. Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan sat in their seats peacefully, neither talking nor intending to leave.

The actors said some words of thanks, and at the end, both Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan applauded sincerely.

When the two got up, Xia Zhen suddenly said "Oops" and tilted her body. Pei Chengan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her. Since the two were already close, they were pulled directly into Pei Chengan's arms.

The same posture was held a month ago, Xia Zhen's mood was even more excited than then, and her heart beat very fast.

The two of them didn't speak or move for a while. Xia Zhen didn't know what to say for a while, and she still felt a little greedy for this feeling, and Pei Chengan was no different.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Zhen finally persuaded herself to leave this warm and broad chest. She explained: "Sitting too long, my legs are numb." Not only because of sitting for a long time, but also because the spirit was always in a state of tension just now, and the muscles were also tense.

Although the two distanced themselves, Pei Chengan didn't let go of her arm, nor did he intend to let go. "Then rest for a while before leaving."

"good."

"Sit down first, and gently massage the numb area."

Xia Zhen sat down obediently and did as he said. She is wearing a pair of frayed jeans today, a white chiffon shirt and a dark beige sweater on her upper body, looking fresh and sweet.

Pei Chengan sat next to her, his eyes naturally fell on her hands pressing her thighs, so he found that her legs were well-proportioned and beautiful. But soon he looked away, advising himself not to look or think randomly.

After a while, Xia Zhen stretched her legs and felt that there was no problem. She stood up and said to Pei Chengan, "It's ready, let's go."

Pei Chengan also stood up, "Let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, he took Xia Zhen's hand. When Xia Zhen looked at him, he made an excuse for himself. "The light is not good, it's safer if I hold you."

The heat that had just faded from Xia Zhen's face returned, and she gave a soft "hmm".

Just then, someone called their names. "Xia Zhen, Pei Chengan."

It was a female voice, Xia Zhen and Pei Chengan looked at the source of the voice at the same time. They saw Xue Nan on crutches, and Xue Chen supporting her.

Xia Zhen was not surprised to meet them. After all, Xue Chen was going to give her tickets in the afternoon, and Xue Nan came to see the performance on crutches. Xia Zhen was not surprised either. .

Her tone of voice, coupled with the way she looked at Pei Chengan and smiled, showed that they knew each other.

Xia Zhen looked at Pei Chengan, only to see Pei Chengan frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Xue Chen and Xue Nan walked over, and Pei Chengan and Xia Zhen also walked towards them.

"Hello." Pei Chengan said politely.

Xia Zhen greeted with a smile: "It's a coincidence to meet you."

Xia Zhen just wanted to express condolences to Xue Nan's leg injury, but found that she was looking at Pei Chengan.

Xue Nan looked at Pei Chengan calmly, with an indifferent smile on his face. "Long time no see, Pei Chengan."

Pei Chengan looked at the strange face in front of him, but couldn't remember who she was, so he asked, "Excuse me... who are you?"

Xue Nan's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted, her smile widened, and she said suddenly: "I am Xue Nan, I was in the same grade as you in elementary school."

Pei Chengan recalled it again, and finally remembered it. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's been too long, and you have changed a lot, so I can't remember it for a while."

"It's okay, I've changed a lot. I almost forgot what I used to be. You haven't changed much."

Xue Nan's expression was relaxed, generous and decent. But Xia Zhen always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. The words Ms. Wutian said suddenly appeared in her mind, and she thought in horror: Could it be because she really doesn't like Pei Chengan and other women...

They didn't do much, why should she have an idea? Did she really care about Pei Chengan so much

Realizing this, Xia Zhen's heart seemed to be fluttering around like a butterfly, no matter how hard she grabbed it, she couldn't get it back. This feeling made her panic.

Her hands couldn't help trembling, Pei Chengan turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhen woke up suddenly, and she regained her composure. She gave a big smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be classmates, haha, what a coincidence."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, "I'll help Sister Xue Nan." She just didn't want to hold hands with him.

Pei Chengan let her go, and Xia Zhen walked to Xue Nan's side.

The four walked out of the gymnasium together, not talking much along the way. They separated after pouring down the parking lot.
