Xu Lian put the paper airplane into her bag, and followed Xiang Zhangkong out of the airport.
There were many taxis waiting outside the airport, lined up neatly, dragging Xu Lian's large suitcase to the sky, and turning around to ask her, "Is your car at the airport?"
"No, I came here by taxi." Xu Lian raised her eyes to look at him and coughed, "I've thought about your question just now. I've been a little tired from shopping abroad these days, and now I just want to go home and rest. Say it next time."
Xiang Changkong pursed the corners of his mouth, feeling a little disappointed. But Xu Lian was right, she was really working hard these days abroad, and he witnessed them one by one in her circle of friends. He nodded and said, "Okay, you have a good rest today."
When the two said this, the waiting taxi filled the vacancy and drove in front of them. Xiang Changkong said, "Get in the car, I'll help you put your luggage."
Xu Lian's suitcase is 28 inches, and it's very heavy with the treasures she bought from abroad. After Xiang Zhangkong put the suitcase in the trunk, he walked back to the car door and looked at her.
Xu Lian was already sitting in the back row and looked up at him. She looked at Xiang Changkong as if he had something to say, but didn't dare to get in the car, and laughed in her heart. "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride by the way."
Xiang Changkong said, "I-I'll go to the site."
"Well, come up, don't delay the people behind."
Xiang Zhangkong stood for another second, then bent down and got into the car. After reporting the address to the driver, the carriage returned to quietness, Xiang Zhangkong seemed a little nervous, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists.
Xu Lian didn't speak, as if unaware of this, Xiang Zhangkong slowly let go of his hand and turned his head to look at her: "Xu Lian."
"Um?"
"My mother is willing to talk."
Xu Lian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh, that's a good thing."
"um. Thank you."
Xu Lian smiled: "Thank me for what? You usually follow her too much. It's not a good thing to be tolerant and accommodating."
"Yeah." Xiang Changkong responded and said again, "Also, I also decided to take the postgraduate exam."
Xu Lian was not surprised. The words he wrote on the paper plane meant that he had already made a decision. "Your mother agrees?"
Xiang Changkong pondered for a while: "I haven't told her about this yet, she just wanted to speak, I don't want to force her too hastily. After two days, if her condition is better, I will tell her well. ."
Xu Lian asked, "What if she still disagrees?"
"I believe I can convince her that my mother is not a very unreasonable person." Even if Weng Shuli still insisted on objecting, he could only find another way to make her accept it slowly. Xu Lian was right, he didn't want to run away anymore, he didn't want to, he would be a deserter all his life.
"And..." Having said that, Xiang Zhangkong's mood became nervous again, he closed his fist slightly and looked at Xu Lian solemnly, "I apologize again for what I said to you before, this matter is my fault. Not doing it right."
Xu Lian looked back at him and asked knowingly, "What? Are you breaking up?"
"… Um."
"What do you think is wrong with me?"
"No, there is nothing wrong with you." The bad one was him. He lowered his eyes, and his tone became lighter: "Xu Lian, I'm a man, even if I can't give the person I like more favorable conditions, at least, I can't implicate her."
He is already too busy to take care of himself, what qualifications does he have to fall in love, let alone get married. A girl from an ordinary family would probably despise conditions like theirs, let alone Xu Lian. And he, the most unwilling to drag on is Xu Lian.
The car returned to its original silence. After a long while, Xu Lian asked again, "Then you're not afraid now?"
Xiang Zhangkong looked at her, and his eyes gradually became gentle and bright: "Now I feel that loving someone is to become a better me for her. But, are you willing to wait for me?"
Just drop it.
Xu Lian's calm expression was finally untenable. She turned her head to look out the window, unwilling to let Xiang Changkong see her current expression; "I have to think about this too."
Xiang Zhangkong looked at her small half face, and the corner of his mouth slowly pulled into a smile.
The taxi first took Xiang Changkong to the station, and then took Xu Lian to the community where she lived.
Xu Lian ate the airplane meal on the plane at noon, and she wasn't very full, but when she got home, she just wanted to take a bath and sleep, and she didn't even bother to organize her things. Maybe it was because she was really tired a few days ago. She slept soundly this time, and was finally woken up by the ringing of her mobile phone.
The caller was from an unfamiliar number. Xu Lian stared at the screen and thought for a while before picking it up: "Hello."
"Hello, is this Miss Xu Lian? Your takeaway has arrived. Please open the door."
Xu Lian raised her brows in confusion. Did she order takeout in her dream
"Hold on."
She put on her coat, stepped on slippers, went to open the door, and there was a delivery boy standing outside the door.
"I wish you a happy meal with the meal you ordered." The little brother handed the takeaway to Xu Lian and hurried away. Xu Lian took the takeaway and put it on the dining table, opened the plastic bag and looked at the dishes inside.
Two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of warm white rice.
It's all her favorite dishes.
Apart from herself and her parents, there is probably only one person who knows her taste so well.
She took the phone and sent a message to Xiang Changkong: "Did you order the takeaway for me?"
Xiang Changkong: Well, I think you might have to sleep for an afternoon when you get home, so I ordered a meal for you and woke you up by the way.
Xu Lian: "…"
It can be said that the guess is very accurate. Are people who study well even good at these things
Xiang Changkong: What's the matter, doesn't it suit your taste
Xu Lian: No, I just don’t dare to eat anything that comes from unknown sources, so I ask
Xiang Changkong: This store is very clean. I often go to pick up food. Their taste is also good.
Xu Lian: Oh, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to deliver it yourself
Xiang Changkong: I'm afraid you don't want to see me
After sending this to Changkong, he added another to himself: "I'll bring you lunch at noon tomorrow."
Xu Lian: Do I want to see you tomorrow
Xiang Changkong: ... Then I wear a mask
Xu Lian burst out laughing at the table.
After finishing the takeout Xiang Changkong ordered for her, she dragged over the big box that was still in the living room and started packing.
This time I went to Korea to eat and play, but I kept walking around with the things I bought. Next time I go shopping, she will find someone to work as a coolie for her.
The next morning, Xiang Zhangkong got up to prepare breakfast and walked out of the room, only to find some movement in the kitchen. He stood there and listened for a while, thinking that someone was cooking inside.
I walked over to take a look, and sure enough, someone got up earlier than him and had already started cooking.
"Mom?" Seeing Weng Shuli, Xiang Zhangkong called her in surprise, "Why did you get up so early?"
With a spoon in her hand, Weng Shuli stirred the porridge in the stirring pot: "When you wake up, just make breakfast."
Xiang Changkong spends some time chatting with her every day these days, and Weng Shuli speaks more agilely than before. She looked at Xiang Changkong and said to him, "Go wash up first, I'll get it done here soon."
Xiang Changkong was a little worried about her body, but after thinking about it, he still smiled at her and said, "Okay, do it slowly, don't worry."
Weng Shuli's craftsmanship was very good in the past. She hadn't cooked in recent years, so she was a little unfamiliar, but the taste was still unaffected. Xiang Changkong couldn't tell what it was like when he ate the food made by his mother again after three years.
"How is it, my craftsmanship hasn't regressed yet?" I don't know if it's because of the habit of eating things made by Xiang Changkong in recent years, Weng Shuli always feels that the things she makes are not as delicious as his.
Xiang Changkong said, "No, what mom makes is the best."
Weng Shuli couldn't help but smile: "When did you become so glib? Is it because you were in love?"
Xiang Changkong was a little embarrassed by what she said, but Weng Shuli's expression dimmed a little unconsciously: "Changkong, my attitude towards Xu Lian was not very good before, if you want to make an appointment with her, please She comes to eat at home, and I cook it myself."
Xiang Changkong said: "No hurry, your body is just right, take your time."
Weng Shuli smiled and said, "I have been staying at home for the past few years and I have neglected to exercise. Although my physical strength is not as good as before, I can still cook a meal."
She looked at Chang Kong and just drank her porridge with her head buried in it. She didn't answer for a while, her eyes moved slightly: "Did something happen to you and Xu Lian?"
Xiang Changkong replied lightly, "Well, I broke up with her before, but she hasn't forgiven me yet."
Weng Shuli was stunned for a while, but did not ask him why he broke up with Xu Lian.
She knew it was because of her.
Having said that, Xiang Changkong simply put down the bowl, looked at Weng Shuli and said, "Mom, I still decided to take the postgraduate exam. I'm pursuing Xu Lian again, and I don't know if I can give her a better life. But I hope I'm doing my best."
After he finished saying this, the dinner table became quiet. Weng Shuli also put down the spoon in her hand, and after a long while said, "whatever you want, just do it. Mommy won't stop you, nor can she stop you."
Although Weng Shuli was willing to talk to them, he didn't expect her to let go so easily. He had seen her crying heartbroken outside the operating room. The father's matter had hit her so hard that she couldn't bear it a second time.
"Mother… "
Weng Shuli smiled, looked at him and said, "To be honest, I really don't want you to be like your father, this business is really hard. But I always think of Xu Lian's words these days, and she is right. , I shouldn't imprison you. I don't want to remember your life when you are old, and it's all the regrets your mother brought you. "
She has taught children to dance in the dance team before. Some children like dance very much, but their parents are strongly against it. There is also a little girl who secretly came to her class. After being discovered by the parents, she was dragged from the class directly. .
She once comforted these students and persuaded their parents, hoping that they would understand their children, but unknowingly, she herself became such a parent.
"Mom doesn't want it. When you think of your mom in the future, it's all about hating your mom."
