The previous conversation between the two was interrupted by a few classmates who suddenly appeared. After getting the diploma, Fang Hui dragged Mu Xiaoya to a nearby coffee shop.
"Cappuccino and a piece of Black Forest cake, you can buy it." As soon as she entered the cafe, Fang Hui instructed Mu Xiaoya unceremoniously.
"Okay Eldest Miss, do you want anything else?" Mu Xiaoya was extremely cooperative.
"Let's do this first, and then I'll add more after eating Miss Ben." Fang Hui shook her head arrogantly, and went inside to find a seat first.
Mu Xiaoya smiled and went to the front desk to buy a cake and coffee and bring it over.
Fang Hui took a sip of her coffee and glanced at the black coffee in front of Mu Xiaoya, frowning immediately: "How do you drink black coffee, how bitter."
Mu Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that after she went abroad, because she was too busy with study and work, she often stayed up late to catch up on design drafts, so she developed the habit of drinking black coffee. But now I don't like it.
"I haven't slept well recently, so I'm refreshing." Mu Xiaoya made a random excuse.
"Uncle and aunt disagree." Fang Hui guessed.
"I didn't say I disagree, I'm still thinking about it."
"Consider? Since childhood, when did your uncles and aunts consider your decision, and when did they not fully support your decision? If you think about it, it means they don't agree." What Fang Hui admired most since she was a child was that Mu Xiaoya had an open-minded and democratic pair. Her parents, unlike her parents, love to be blind.
"They will agree." Mu Xiaoya said confidently.
"It doesn't work if you don't agree, anyway, you've already got the certificate." Fang Hui complained.
"Yeah." Mu Xiaoya suddenly remembered that Bai Chuan had said the same thing last night, she couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
"Are you still in the mood to laugh?" Fang Hui reminded, "Seriously, Bai Chuan is an autistic patient. Does he know what marriage is? Marriage is not an impulse to get a certificate. Let's live together. When you have children in the future... By the way, does he know how to have children?"
"Fang Hui!" Mu Xiaoya glared at her friend angrily, and she said it in a serious manner, but the more she went to the back, the more outrageous it became.
"Are you... that one?" As soon as this thought strayed, she couldn't get back. Fang Hui was not afraid that Mu Xiaoya would stare at her, and the more she asked, the more explicit she became.
"what are you thinking?"
"That's it." Fang Hui saw Mu Xiaoya's expression and knew that the newlyweds were probably as pure as Zhang Baizhi, "No, I have to check, if autistic patients don't know what to do , you should leave as soon as possible." Saying that, Fang Hui really took the phone and checked it.
"Enough is enough!" Mu Xiaoya, embarrassed and angry, snatched Fang Hui's phone.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that Mu Xiaoya was in a hurry, Fang Hui stopped teasing her, "Then when are you going to hold the wedding?"
"Probably... I won't do it." Mu Xiaoya hesitated and said.
"Yes, after all, an old man in the family just passed away." Fang Hui nodded understandingly.
Speaking of Grandma Bai, Mu Xiaoya couldn't help but glance at the jade bracelet on her left wrist.
"Is the bracelet in your hand from Grandma Bai?" Fang Hui guessed after noticing Mu Xiaoya's expression.
"Yeah." Mu Xiaoya nodded.
"This bracelet doesn't look cheap. It seems that the old man is really satisfied with your granddaughter-in-law." Although Fang Hui didn't understand jade, the price of this kind of jade bracelet with water head, as long as it was real, was definitely not low.
Mu Xiaoya smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, what's the attitude of Bai Chuan's parents towards you?" Fang Hui asked again, "Aren't you going to study abroad next month? Will their family allow you to go?"
"I...I don't want to study abroad anymore." Mu Xiaoya said.
"You're not going?" Fang Hui frowned, "You gave up studying abroad for Bai Chuan?"
"It's not for Bai Chuan, I just don't want to go. I've thought about it, and I decided to open a studio with you." Mu Xiaoya originally wanted to talk to Fang Hui about this today, but just when Fang Hui asked, she just Simply said.
She and Fang Hui both studied footwear design at University. In the second half of the senior year, facing the current situation of graduating, she and Fang Hui made completely different choices. She applied for a postgraduate study at SG School of Design, intending to continue her studies, while Fang Hui decided to open a studio and make her own footwear design.
"You open a studio with me? Didn't you say that just like us, unknown college graduates, would you definitely lose money to open a studio?" Fang Hui asked in surprise. When she said she was going to open a studio, Mu Xiaoya interrupted a lot. And Fang Hui also knew that Mu Xiaoya was justified in worrying, but she didn't care. In fact, she opened a studio just to have fun. It doesn't matter if she loses, her father is rich anyway.
"To repeat what you said, if you lose, you will lose. Anyway, my sister is rich." Mu Xiaoya said with an air of embarrassment.
In the last life, Fang Hui's studio was not very profitable, and it was Fang Hui's own money to support it. If it was before, Mu Xiaoya naturally wouldn't choose to open a studio with Fang Hui, but now, she just wants to do a job she likes and spend the next four years leisurely.
"I almost forgot, you are married to a wealthy family now, and you are not bad for money~~"
"That's right." Mu Xiaoya responded with a smile. In fact, she had some savings on her body. When she was in college, she sold the design drawings of several shoes to manufacturers. The design fee was added to the commission. Say there are two or three million. It's basically enough for an upfront investment in a studio.
"Let's go to see the house together in the afternoon, can I make an appointment with the agent?" With Mu Xiaoya joining in, Fang Hui was instantly motivated.
"Okay." Mu Xiaoya readily agreed.
After school, Mu Ruozhou and his wife went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and then walked slowly home. When the two were discussing whether to cook fish or meat first, they suddenly found two people standing upright in front of their house, carrying many gift boxes in their hands.
"Mr. Mu, Teacher Shen."
"Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai?" Mu Ruozhou was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the other party's intention.
Although he and his wife couldn't accept that their daughter suddenly married Bai Chuan, they couldn't keep people out.
"Mr. Mu, Teacher Shen, Xiaochuan and Xiaoya's marriage is our Bai family's disrespect." Bai Guoyu apologized as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Bai doesn't have to do this. Xiaoya has already told us that the matter of marriage is her own decision, not your business." Mu Ruozhou is not an unreasonable person. This matter is actually not up to the Bai family. Their daughter is going to marry herself.
Bai Guoyu and his wife looked at each other, and both of them knew in their hearts that although Mu Ruozhou said it politely, he was actually reluctant for his daughter to marry their Baichuan. This point, they had already prepared in their hearts before coming.
"Mr. Mu, Teacher Shen, in fact, we are here today to formally discuss the children's marriage with you." Li Rong said.
"How are you going to discuss?" Mu Ruozhou frowned.
"Mr. Mu, Mr. Shen." Li Rong said sincerely, "I know that Xiaochuan climbed up your family Xiaoya in this marriage. Ask yourself, if Xiaoya were my daughter, I wouldn't agree to let her marry her. For a husband with autism. However, I am Xiaochuan's mother, and I personally hope to facilitate this marriage. So we are here today to get your consent for our family Xiaochuan. "
To get the consent of the woman's parents, this kind of thing should have been done by the man himself, but Bai Chuan is autistic and he can't do it, so Bai Guoyu and his wife can only come here. And this happened to be what Mu Ruozhou and his wife were most concerned about, but they listened patiently.
"Xiao Chuan has autism. He lives in his own world, and it is difficult for others to enter. This is what you are worried about. But what I want to tell you is that in Xiao Chuan's world, there is a place for Xiaoya. Li Rong said, "Bai Chuan's grandmother said something when she was in the hospital. She said that Xiaochuan's world is very small, and he can barely hold himself. But when he opened his heart to someone, that person It will be his whole world. Your daughter is like that to my son."
"Of course, we also know that what we say is not convincing, so we called Xiaochuan's attending doctor. If it's convenient for you, can you listen to his professional opinion?" Li Rong asked for the consent of the two.
Bai Chuan's attending doctor? Mu Ruozhou and his wife looked at each other, and then agreed with Li Rong's suggestion.
Bai Chuan's attending doctor, Professor Feng, is an authority on autism. In order to visit Mu's house today, Bai Guoyu personally went to the hospital to invite people over. Professor Feng had been waiting in the car outside.
Bai Guoyu personally went out and invited Professor Feng in. After a simple greeting, Professor Feng did not rush to introduce Bai Chuan's condition, but first played a few videos of Bai Chuan's treatment.
In the first video, Bai Chuan is very young and looks like he is about seven or eight years old. He is sitting quietly on a chair and drawing. He is very focused. No matter how much Professor Feng wants to communicate with him, he will always I ignored it until Professor Feng asked him, "Is the girl in the painting your friend?"
"Mu Xiaoya." After a while, Bai Chuan's childish voice came out clearly from the video.
In the second video, Bai Chuan is a little older, about eleven or twelve years old, and he is reading a comic book.
"Xiao Chuan, why did you suddenly think of reading comic books?"
Bai Chuan ignored it.
"Is this comic book good?"
Bai Chuan ignored it.
"Who bought this book for you?"
Bai Chuan was silent for a moment and replied, "Xiao Ya's."
Two or three treatment videos were played one after another, most of which were similar in content. When Professor Feng was unable to communicate with Bai Chuan, as long as Mu Xiaoya was mentioned, Bai Chuan would respond more or less.
Professor Feng then explained: "I have come into contact with many children with autism, some of whom can't speak at all, some don't even know their own family members, and very few children with autism who have the desire to express, and very few Some have recovered to the level of Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan's recovery, in the medical records I have studied, can be regarded as a miracle, because he has almost regained his ability to socialize."
"Of course, there is still a gap between his ability and ordinary people, but as long as he is willing to come out, it is entirely possible for him to live independently." Professor Feng said, "And the reason why he can recover so well , because between his own world and our world, there is a window of communication. Most autistic patients may not have this kind of window in their lives. But Bai Chuan is lucky to have two ."
"One is for Grandma Bai, and the other is for Mu Xiaoya."
The mood of Mu Ruozhou and his wife was extremely complicated, and they couldn't help but look at the last frozen picture in the video. In the picture, Bai Chuan, who looks like a teenager, is drawing. On the drawing paper is the back of a girl. She is sitting on the green grass and looking into the distance. Under the skirt are brightly colored flowers. The colors used in the whole painting are bright and lively, and the bright and joyful emotions are almost vivid on the paper.
That was Mu Xiaoya in Bai Chuan's eyes.
