In fact, it is more than that.
Everything she has experienced in the past eighteen years is actually derived from having such a pair of parents.
If her mother had loved her, she wouldn't have walked away when she was six and never looked back.
If her father loved her, he wouldn't have written such a letter when she had suffered so much and finally climbed out of the quagmire of life.
What she is facing today is not the torment she has to endure every day in the past.
Tang Yi didn't speak, because he was really speechless.
The laboratory was quiet, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Shen Zhijin straightened up.
"That's all for the time being, send me when you fix it."
Only then did Fu Niannian come to his senses: "Good teacher Shen."
Shen Zhijin walked to the side, and when he passed the trash can, he turned his head slightly and took a look.
The torn envelope was thrown in a mess, and the sender's name could be vaguely seen:
Ning Haizhou.
Ning Li rushed to the west gate and saw Xue Langlang and Ding Yu at a glance.
A middle-aged couple stood beside them.
Xue Langlang shouted at her:
"Ning Li!"
Ning Li walked over and greeted Xue Langlang's parents one by one.
"Hello, uncle and aunt. Sorry, I'm late."
Xue Tao and his wife are Gaozhi at first glance, with a gentle temperament.
Seeing Ning Li, both of them laughed, with undisguised admiration in their eyes.
Xue Langlang shook his head:
"It's not too late! Are you following Dean Shen now? How normal is it to be busy? Then let's go now?"
The corners of Ning Li's lips curved.
"good."
Xue Langlang's parents rented a car here, which can accommodate five people.
Several people got into the car and headed to the restaurant.
They went to a private restaurant, which was a private room that had been booked in advance.
After the group sat down, Xue Langlang ordered and handed over the menu.
"Ning Li, Ding Yu, what else do you want to eat?"
Ning Li felt that these were similar, so she asked Ding Yu to order.
Xue Tao looked at Ning Li and asked curiously:
"Ning Li, I heard that the research direction of Professor Shen's research group this time is—"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Langlang glanced at him in disgust.
"Father, I know you admire our Dean Shen, but isn't it inappropriate to ask these questions now?"
Xue Tao coughed:
"That's right, that's right. I'm here to celebrate Lang Lang's birthday today, so I won't talk about anything else."
As he spoke, he laughed again.
"Guess what gift Dad prepared for you this time?"
Xue Langlang shook his head, but a look of expectation appeared on his face.
Xue Tao walked aside and took out a huge box from the cabinet in the box.
Ning Li took a look, and it turned out to be a Lego model of the Milky Way.
"Wow! Dad, you understand me so well!"
Xue Langlang was overwhelmed with surprise, cherishing that Lego box,
"I've wanted it for a long time!"
"Your father knows you like it, so he asked someone to bring it back from Hong Kong this time." Xue Langlang's mother said with a smile.
Xue Tao laughed.
"As long as Lang Lang likes it!"
Xue Langlang compared his heart to the two of them:
"Thank you dad! Thank you mom!"
Ning Li watched quietly from the side.
She seemed to be thinking a lot, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.
The waiters quickly started serving the food.
Xue Tao and his wife are very talkative people, and the atmosphere during the meeting has always been very good.
Only such a family can raise such a lively and optimistic personality as Xue Langlang.
Ning Li was thinking about it when her phone vibrated.
She glanced, it was news from Lu Huaiyu.
[Ari, is dinner delicious?]
He knew that Ning Li would accompany Xue Langlang to celebrate his birthday tonight.
Ning Li lowered her eyes.
[tasty.]
After a pause, she typed another line.
[I just miss you a little bit.]
After dinner, it's time to cut the cake.
Just as Ning Li took the cake from Xue Langlang, her phone vibrated.
It was actually Lu Huaiyu's phone call.
She put the cake down and picked it up.
"Second brother?"
There was wind on the other end of the phone.
Lu Huai said:
"I'm downstairs, which private room are you in?"
Ning Li was stunned, and subconsciously asked:
"Are you here?"
"Um."
There was a smile in Lu Huaiyu's voice,
"Didn't you say you missed me?"
I'm here because you miss me.
You just have to wait where you are.
Ning Li curled her fingers.
"Ning Li?"
Xue Langlang called her suddenly, winked at her,
"Senior Lu has come to pick you up, so I won't keep you!"
As she spoke, she packed two more cakes and handed them over.
"promise!"
Ning Li went downstairs carrying the cake, and she saw the familiar tall and straight figure.
He wore a windbreaker today, making his waist look narrower and his legs longer.
Seeing Ning Li, he raised his legs and walked this way.
When he came to Ning Li, he tilted his head, his gaze swept across her face.
Immediately, he rubbed her hair with a low and gentle voice:
"Who is this bullying our Ali?"
Ning Li raised her face:
"I got a letter from my dad today."
Lu Huai paused for a moment.
Ning Li continued:
"He asked me to help Su Yuan. I tore up the letter."
Lu Huaihe looked at her with deep eyes.
Ning Li seemed to be thinking about something, and said softly:
"The last time he wrote to me was when grandma passed away. The last time seemed to be eleven years ago. I can't remember clearly."
For him, for grandma, for Su Yuan.
Only, not for her.
Lu Huaihe opened the windbreaker, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her on the brow.
"If you can't remember, don't remember."
The familiar cedar breath is full, and the whole body is covered with the temperature of ironing, dispelling the chill that almost penetrates into the bone marrow in late autumn.
Ning Li pressed her forehead against his chest.
"Um."
Good night
