Xu Lian took her mother back to her residence, and when they got home, Xiang Changkong had not come.
"I don't know how your father stuffed so many things in." Xu Lian's mother complained to Xu Lian's father as she organized the suitcase she brought back. Xu Lian leaned against the sofa with her phone and sent a message to Xiang Changkong: "Where have you been?"
Xiang Changkong: I've already got off the subway, I'll be there soon
Xu Lian: Okay, I'll pick you up
Xiang Changkong: No need, I'll just come by myself
Xu Lian: It's okay
She put away her phone after sending it, and said to her mother, "He's here, I'll go down to pick him up."
"Okay, let's go." Xu Lian's mother heard what she said, and quickly packed up the things she took out. Xu Lian went down with the key, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Xiang Changkong walking over. She smiled at him and called him: "To the sky."
Hearing her voice, Xiang Zhangkong also raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked over quickly: "Did you wait for a long time?"
"No, we just arrived." Xu Lian looked him up and down as he spoke, and smiled at him, "You today... don't seem to be the same as usual."
Xiang Zhangkong coughed uncomfortably, "Yes, yes?"
Xu Lian said: "Yes, I feel more handsome than usual."
Xiang Changkong's face flushed slightly, and he said to her, "Let's go up, don't make Auntie wait too long."
"it is good."
The two went upstairs together, and Xu Lian's mother ran over from the house when she heard the door open. Xu Lian put on his slippers, and when he looked up, he was stunned.
When she went down to go to Zhangkong, her mother even changed a skirt...
She smiled tacitly, and dragged Xiang Changkong into it: "Let me introduce you, this is my mother."
"Hello, Auntie." Xiang Changkong looked nervous, and the hand holding the gift seemed a little stiff, "It's the first time we met, I'm Xiang Changkong. This is a gift for you, I hope you like it."
Xu Lian's mother's eyes lit up when she saw Xiang Changkong walking in. The first impression was that this young man was really tall. After a closer look, she found that he was also very handsome, but he was too shy to speak.
She smiled and took the paper bag in his hand, and said to him, "I like it, you are too polite."
Xiang Zhangkong smiled and said, "It should be."
"Sit down first." Xu Lian's mother greeted him and sat down on the sofa, her eyes swept over the slippers on his feet inadvertently. When she came just now, she noticed these slippers, and she was still thinking about who Xu Lian prepared them for, but now she understands.
Glancing at Xu Lian without a trace, she smiled and said to Chang Kong: "Xiao Xiang, I brought back a lot of specialties this time, I'll go get you some, just wait."
Xu Lian's mother's large suitcase has been dragged into Xu Lian's bedroom. She went in for a while, and took a lot of things out and put them on the sofa: "This is a tapestry, the cashmere fabric there is very famous, I bought it There are several, this is for you. And these pine nuts, Xu Lian's father also stuffed a lot of them, you can take some back to eat. Oh, I heard Xu Lian say you have a sister, look at these gadgets , is there anything your sister likes, their handicrafts are also famous."
Xiang Changkong didn't expect Xu Lian's mother to be so enthusiastic, but he was even more embarrassed: "Auntie, you are too polite, let's leave this to Xu Lian."
"She still has more, but her father stuffed a box full of them and asked me to bring them here. I was afraid that the customs would think I was a purchasing agent."
Xiang Changkong: "..."
"Just accept it, I really have a lot in my bedroom." Xu Lian said to Changkong.
Seeing that Auntie was so enthusiastic, Xiang Changkong couldn't refuse any more: "Thank you Auntie then."
"What's more polite with Auntie." Xu Lian's mother helped him pack the things and sat down on the sofa. As soon as she sat down, she felt that her hand touched something, and she felt a little squeamish. She turned around, took the thing out, and said to Xu Lian, "What did you put under the sofa?"
Xu Lian and Xiang Changkong both looked at her hand, and then both fell into silence. After Xu Lian's mother took out the things, she saw it clearly - a small red box, although it was written in Japanese, she also understood in seconds what it was.
…
so awkward.
She shoved the thing back again, as if she had never taken it out: "Well, let's watch TV for a while."
She took the remote control panel, turned on the TV, and turned up the sound regardless of which station it was.
The news was being broadcast on the TV, and the anchor's eloquent broadcast relieved the embarrassment in the room a little. Xu Lian's mother coughed twice, and followed the news anchor's words: "You know that the situation there is chaotic, and those people are still going to travel. Are they burning money?"
Xu Lian said: "It may be that the itinerary was set before, but it is not easy to cancel it now."
"Anyway, I definitely won't go there. Alas, I also hear these news being reported every day abroad."
"Um… "
So the three of them sat in the room and chatted about current affairs for an afternoon.
At five o'clock, Xu Lian asked a thought-provoking question: "Are you hungry? Would you like me to order something?"
Xu Lian's mother had an airplane meal at noon, and sat here chatting about current affairs for an afternoon. She had already put her chest on her back: "You are so biased here, what is there to eat?"
Xu Lian said: "It can be called Xingguang Park. The restaurants there are not bad, but they are more expensive."
Xiang Changkong thought about it and asked her, "Have you finished all the vegetables you bought before?"
Xu Lian shook her head. In addition to those dishes that Xiang Changkong used, she cooked noodles with lettuce leaves.
Xiang Changkong said: "Then let me do it. There are some left over from last time. If you don't eat it, it will go bad."
When Xu Lian's mother heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, no, you are a guest, so let me do it."
Xiang Changkong smiled at her and said, "It doesn't matter Auntie, I cook in my family, and it will be very fast."
As he spoke, he took off his jacket and said to Xu Lian, "Then I'll cook first, you can chat with Auntie."
Xu Li stood up with him and walked to the kitchen together: "I'll help you."
Xiang Zhangkong thought for a while, then nodded to her: "Okay."
The two entered the kitchen, Xu Lian's mother took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Lian's father: "I saw Xiaoxiang, this child is really good, he is smart and good-looking, and he can cook! I will say it. It's impossible that Xu Lian cooked the dishes at that table."
In the kitchen, Xiang Zhangkong rolled up the sleeves of his sweater and opened the refrigerator to have a look. There are still a lot of vegetables and some meat left in it, which should be enough for dinner. He turned his head and said to Xu Lian, "Come and cook, I'll cook."
"Okay." After Xu Lian finished speaking, as if remembering something, she took out an apron from the cabinet, "Didn't you say you should use an apron last time? I bought it and put it on?"
"Yeah." Xiang Changkong smiled, put the dishes in his hands in the sink, took the apron from Xu Lian's hands and tied it to his body. Xu Lian looked at him from the side, and Xiang Zhangkong was staring at him uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Xu Lian still looked at him with a smile in her bright eyes: "I always thought you were quite conservative, but I didn't expect you to wear a low-neck sweater, so coquettish."
"..." Xiang Zhangkong was silent for a while after she said it, and then he said, "Wearing, wearing a high collar is hot."
"Oh." Xu Lian replied with a smile in his eyes, "It's pretty, and a little sexy." The neckline of the sweater on Xiang Changkong's body is lower than his collarbone. His collarbone looks good, under the sweater It's kind of sexy.
Xu Lian's words caused Xiang Changkong to subconsciously pull his neckline, Xu Lian stepped forward, hooked his neck, and tiptoed kissed his lips. Xiang Changkong was startled, but he didn't push her away, he just whispered to her: "Don't make trouble, Auntie is still outside."
Xu Lian didn't care: "001 has been seen by her, what are you afraid of?"
Xiang Changkong: "..."
It was hard for him to forget about it. Xiang Changkong was really annoyed. On the first day she saw Xu Lian's mother, she was shown that kind of thing. What would she think of herself
Xu Lian understood his thoughts and said with relief: "Don't worry, my mother and the others are very avant-garde thinking." After all, they can all accept that she will never get married for a lifetime, so what is a 001.
"But, but..."
"Come on, let's cook first."
"… Um."
Xu Lian turned on the faucet, washed rice next to him, looked at her from Xiang Changkong, and called her, "Xu Lian."
"Um?"
"I signed up."
Xu Lian paused, then stopped to look at him: "Graduate student?"
"Well." When he met Xu Lian's mother today, although she didn't ask herself anything, he knew that she must be worried. He can understand this feeling. If Xiang Nuan brings a boyfriend back one day, he will definitely care about what the boy does, what his abilities are, and whether he can take good care of Xiang Nuan.
If they don't ask, he should also make a statement to reassure them.
Xu Lian didn't turn off the water until the water in the rice cooker was about to overflow, then she turned off the faucet and smiled towards Changkong: "Congratulations."
Xiang Changkong also laughed: "Congratulations? I just signed up, but I didn't pass the exam."
Xu Lian said: "You will definitely pass the test."
The smile on the corner of Xiang Changkong's mouth deepened: "You have so much confidence in me?"
"Of course, my mother praised you so much, and said that my university is a pheasant university."
Hearing her words, Xiang Changkong couldn't help laughing again.
At the door of the kitchen, Xu Lian's mother turned on the video, quietly pointed her mobile phone at the kitchen, and secretly took pictures of the movement inside. Xiang Changkong glanced at the door, and Xu Lian followed him: "Mom, what are you filming?"
"It's nothing, nothing." Xu Lian's mother quickly hid her phone behind her and said to the two of them, "You continue to cook, I won't bother you anymore."
She walked to the living room and passed the video shot just now to Xu Lian's father: "Did you see it?"
Old Xu next door: Just like that? What can I see
Xu Lian's mother rolled her eyes and said to him, "I took a secret photo with my old face, you still think it's too little? Too little to come back to see the real person, I won't tell you."
As Xu Lian's mother said that, she really turned off her phone.
Xiang Changkong used all the vegetables and meat left in Xu Lian's refrigerator to make three dishes and one soup. Xu Lian's mother looked at the dishes on the table, tasted a piece of fried pork with lettuce, and immediately looked at Xiang Changkong with admiration: "Xiao Xiang's craftsmanship is good, Xu Lian, you should learn more from others."
Xiang Changkong said, "Xu Lian also contributed to this meal today, she learned very quickly."
Xu Lian's mother laughed and said, "Don't speak for her, I don't know what level she is? She has learned how to cook noodles for so many years."
Xu Lian said: "That's because the teacher's level is too poor."
Xu Lian's mother: "..."
After the three of them finished their meal, Xiang Changkong planned to clean up, but Xu Lian's mother hurriedly stopped him: "I'll just do the dishes. You made the rice, so there's no reason to let you wash the dishes."
Xu Lian also said: "Well, let's wash it."
Xiang Changkong thought about it, but didn't insist: "Well, I'll go back first."
Xu Lian's mother listened to him and looked at the time subconsciously: "It's not even eight o'clock, so you went back so early?"
"Well, I've been disturbing you for too long today. Auntie, you just came back, so you must be tired. You and Xu Lian should rest early."
Xu Lian's mother felt that this young man was too caring: "Well, remember to bring everything I gave you."
"Okay, thank you auntie."
He went to the living room to put on his coat, and brought the gift that Xu Lian's mother gave him. Xu Lian took a thermal bucket from the kitchen for him: "This, I washed it."
Xiang Zhangkong took back the heat preservation bucket and smiled at her: "Don't order takeout tomorrow at noon, I'll make it for you."
Before Xu Lian could speak, Xu Lian's mother exploded first: "What? You have to bring her food at noon? God, she's used to it!"
Xiang Changkong pursed his lips into a smile and said to Xu Lian's mother, "It's alright, I was supposed to cook every day, I just cooked a little more."
Xu Lian's mother wanted to say something, Xu Lian opened the door, pushed it towards the sky and went out: "I'll go down and see him off."
Xu Lian's mother looked at the closed door and went to turn on her mobile phone. Xu Lian's father had already sent dozens of messages, all of them asking about Xiang Changkong.
Xu Lian's mother replied to him: "You mean Xiao Xiang? I almost fell in love with him. [Smiles]"
Xu Lian's father: "..."
