After lunch, Yang Jinxia said that he wanted to borrow the computer. Chen Xu thought about it for two seconds, and after confirming that there was nothing shady in the computer, he agreed.
That computer was still used by him in college, and he was reluctant to sell second-hand after graduation, so he took it home. It is still strong now, mainly his father is using it, that is, to fight against landlords.
When Chen Xu returned to the living room, he heard his mother say in the kitchen, "... This is the girlfriend Xiao Xu brought back." He entered the kitchen and saw her sending WeChat.
"I told you, it's not a girlfriend." Chen Xu corrected her, took her mobile phone, and saw that she sent a photo of Yang Jinxia at dinner, which was obviously taken secretly just now, and said helplessly, "Such a secret photo is not very good. All right."
"I'm just so happy, I have a message." Zeng Wenli took the phone back, clicked on it and listened.
Chen Xu knew that it was useless to say more, so he didn't say anything, "She is working in the room, so don't disturb her. Also, don't call all the relatives over, it will scare people."
While sending a message, Zeng Wenli said, "Okay, okay."
Chen Xu went back to his room, took out his computer, and started working.
...
Yang Jinxia stayed in the room all afternoon and did not come out.
It wasn't until it was time for dinner that Chen Xu went to knock on the door, and the door opened quickly. Yang Jinxia came out of the room and said apologetically, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, I have some work matters to deal with, so I kept you waiting for a long time. "
"It's okay, work is important. You are busy with your work, and the food is not ready, so you can wait." Zeng Wenli said.
"Thank you, auntie, it's done."
"Then eat."
Chen Xu eats at home with an old table that can be folded. It is usually put away and does not take up space, and it is opened only when it is time to eat.
This table has been used for many years. When he lived with his grandparents when he was a child, he also ate on this table. There are some broken spots around the edges that look like they're covered in patina.
In reality, Chen Xu only bought a new table before bringing Luo Xiyun home for the first time, because he was worried that she would not be able to stand it.
Yang Jinxia should have never stayed in such a house. When she was young, the environment at home was not bad, and she lived in a villa.
She didn't show any discomfort.
Chen Xu's family doesn't use serving chopsticks. When eating, they use a bigger soup pot to hold the soup, put it in the middle, and each person has a spoon. If they want to drink soup, they just scoop it out of the pot.
She also didn't care, and drank with her.
...
After eating, Chen Xu told his parents and took Yang Jinxia out.
"Where do you want to take me?"
The temperature was a bit cold at night, Yang Jinxia was wearing a black coat, and when she got downstairs, she asked.
Chen Xu exhaled and said, "Walk around casually, if you don't come out, those relatives of my family should come."
"Why do you avoid them?"
Chen Xu said, "Because they will ask you when you will get married, how many children you plan to have, etc., and will tell you that you should have a baby as early as possible, and my parents can help with it..."
Yang Jinxia asked with great interest, "Do you have many relatives?"
"A lot, including the next generation, dozens of people." Chen Xu recalled that in reality, when Luo Xiyun first came to his house, he bought a lot of presents.
"My family has no relatives. My father is the only child. My mother has long since cut off contact with her. My grandmother has basically gone abroad. In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, the family was deserted. Until my grandmother founded Jin Rust Investment , it became lively."
Yang Jinxia said, and smiled at him, "So, I haven't seen a situation like the three aunts and six aunts chatting around me."
Chen Xu said, "Then, I'll take you to see it tomorrow."
"This is what you said, don't go back on your word."
Chen Xu looked at the smile on her face and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there."
...
"video arcade?"
After arriving at the place, Yang Jinxia looked curiously at the various machines inside.
Chen Xu went to the coin office to buy coins, and said, "I wanted to go to the arcade, but I guess they don't have it now. Have you ever played these game machines?"
Yang Jinxia shook her head and looked at the dance machine. A girl with long hair was dancing to the dynamic music, and many people were watching.
"Do you want to try it?" Chen Xu saw that she was very interested, and handed over a handful of game coins.
Yang Jinxia took the game coins, pointed to a shooting game, and said, "Let's play that."
The two occupied a machine and started playing.
As a result, the first test was not passed, and both of them died.
Yang Jinxia looked at him, "I thought you were very good, why did you hang up earlier than me?"
"Actually, I haven't played this before." Chen Xu said with some embarrassment.
When he was young, he was reluctant to spend this money. The arcade room cost several coins, and he could play for a long time. One coin here costs one yuan, and you can't play for a few minutes.
When I grow up, I don't have the mind to play anymore.
"Come again?"
"Come."
The two invested coins again, and continued to work hard...
The two of them played for the whole night, until after eleven o'clock, when Chen Xu received a call from his mother, and then left happily.
Yang Jinxia had a great time playing. When she was excited just now, she screamed and danced, not at all like her usual appearance.
The two were walking on the sidewalk, and the orange street lights stretched and faded their shadows. When it is about to disappear, a new shadow grows again.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time."
Yang Jinxia's voice was a little hoarse, and she yelled too loudly just now, making her throat hoarse, "When I was in school, I saw boys in my class going to Internet cafes and game halls to play. I was always curious, but grandma took care of it Yan, don't let me go to that kind of place. Thank you."
"It should be me thanking you."
Chen Xu smiled, "When I was in junior high school, I always had a wish. I hoped to find a girl who was willing to accompany me into the game hall. Unfortunately, I never found one. Now, it finally came true."
While the two were talking, Chen Xu's house arrived.
Chen Xu's parents were still awake, sitting there watching TV, saw them coming in, and asked, "Where did you go to play, why are you back now?"
"We just went for a stroll, and we told them not to wait for us, go to sleep." Chen Xu said, "rushing" his parents back to the room. Turning to Yang Jinxia, she said, "Go take a shower first, the bathroom is relatively simple, don't be disgusted."
After a while, Yang Jinxia finished washing, came out in her pajamas, and went directly into the room. Before closing the door, she said, "Good night."
