The next day was Friday, and after class, Huai Xing followed Wei Xulan home. He sat in the co-pilot, feeling uneasy along the way, and clasped his hands to reveal how nervous he was.
There was a gift in the back seat, which was a blue and white porcelain tea set. He asked Wei Xulan's parents what they liked that night, and then rushed to buy it after class today.
He didn't know much about tea, so he bought it because he thought it looked good.
"Don't be nervous." Wei Xulan carried things in one hand and led him to the house with the other. After the doorbell rang, it was Meng Wan who opened the door.
"Xulan? Ah Ye?" Meng Wan looked at the two people standing at the door in surprise, then her eyes were filled with joy, and she took the hands of the two to let them in, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you want to come back?"
Huai Xing also nodded, "Aunt Meng."
"This is a gift prepared by Ah Ye." Wei Xulan handed her the tea set in his hand, and then said, "I didn't say I wanted to surprise you."
Meng Wan smiled softly, looked down at the gift box, then reached out to take it, stopped and looked at Huai Xing and said, "Aye, don't bring anything with you next time."
"This, it's not suitable." Huai Xing also hesitated, "We still have to prepare the book, this time it's a bit rushed, so it may not be so good."
"Gifts don't need to be expensive, but friendship is enough, and what gift should I bring home?" Meng Wan looked up at his hair, and then smiled softly: "Aye's black hair looks younger and younger."
"..." Huai Xing was also shocked by what she said about going home, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile, "Aunt Meng is also very young."
"Hehe~" Meng Wan covered her lips and chuckled, "Ah, you can talk."
"Stop standing." Wei Xulan patted the shoulders of the two, "Go in and sit down and talk slowly."
The two nodded and walked into the room. Meng Wan put away the gifts they brought, and then came out to sit and chat with the two.
Wei Xulan took three glasses of water and put them away, looked around the room and asked, "Is Mrs. Wang not here?"
"Her daughter-in-law gave birth, so she went to the hospital to take care of her daughter-in-law." Meng Wan said, her eyes casually glanced around between the two.
"That's good." Wei Xulan turned to look at Ah Ye who was sitting beside him, seeing that he was too reserved, she leaned over and hugged his arm and squeezed it, signaling him not to be nervous and just relax.
"!" Huai Xing was also touched by him like this, and his heart jumped in his throat instantly, and he turned to look at him in disbelief. His eyes seemed to be asking what he was doing
Intimacy in front of elders is too shameful for him.
Meng Wan took a sip of water calmly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Huai Xing also quietly glanced at Meng Wan, then covered Wei Xulan's palm to pull him away.
"That's right." Meng Wan turned her head to look at the two, her eyes inadvertently drifted to the hands they were holding, and then looked at Wei Xulan pretending to be calm and said, "Tell your grandparents, they have always missed you very much, and they miss you very much." I want to see Ah Ye." His eyes turned to Huai Xingye.
Huai Xing was also taken aback, and put his hand down silently after she saw it. He didn't know how to answer Meng Wan's words, so he smiled awkwardly, and then lowered his eyes.
"I'll call later." Wei Xulan said, "How is father doing recently?"
"Okay~" Meng Wan waved her hand, "But I often talk about you not going home, and I used to see you from time to time, but now that I'm married, I can't even see you."
Wei Xulan pursed her lips and smiled, naturally arched her waist and rested her chin on Huai Xingye's shoulder. The other party straightened up in an instant, and looked at him reprimanding and doubting.
"I've been busy these days, and I haven't gotten along well with Ah Ye." Wei Xulan hugged his body and laughed, "So if I have time, of course I should go to Ah Ye first, and isn't father already accompanied by mother? So I won't bother you any more."
"Disturbance?" Meng Wan narrowed her eyes and gave him a reproachful look, "Are you afraid of being disturbed or are you afraid of disturbing us?"
Wei Xulan smiled softly, lowered his eyes and wrapped around Huai Xingye's fingers: "They are all."
Meng Wan smiled helplessly: "Have you ever visited Ah Ye's family?"
"..." Wei Xulan suppressed her smile and straightened up, "I forgot about this all the time when I was outside."
"You~" Meng Wan dotingly shook her head, "Go there sometime."
"Okay." Wei Xulan nodded.
"..." Huai Xing also frowned as soon as he heard the word "his family", and slowly tightened his palm uncontrollably.
What do you do when you visit his house? Whether he is doing well or not, no one will care. When it comes to visiting, the only person worth visiting is his brother, his own brother.
He's the only one who cares about how he's doing...
"Aye?" Wei Xulan let him hold hands, seeing that he seemed to be still thinking about something, she changed his name again.
"Ah?" Huai Xing also turned his head in astonishment.
"What's the matter?" Wei Xulan smiled back and held his hand, "What are you thinking?"
"..." Huai Xing also moved his eyes away and sighed imperceptibly, "No."
"..." Wei Xulan paused and said, "Then tell me when you want to talk."
Huai Xing also nodded: "Okay."
"Aren't you leaving tonight?" Meng Wan observed for a while before opening her mouth.
"I'm not leaving." Wei Xulan raised her head, "I'll stay here until Ah Ye goes to class and then go back."
"Then have you finished your work?" Meng Wan asked.
Wei Xulan nodded: "I'm done, I've been free for a while."
"Then I'll be cooking tonight? Xulan will help?" Meng Wan said again.
"Okay." Wei Xulan smiled lightly.
"Then I." Huai Xing also frowned, "I'll help out as well."
Meng Wan smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up: "Ah, I should not be able to pull away."
"Huh?" Huai Xing was very puzzled when she heard her say that, and he didn't understand the meaning of that sentence until the whole family arrived at night.
Old man Wei and grandma came home before Father Wei, and they were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Meng Wan and Wei Xulan went to the kitchen, and he wanted to follow, but the elders of the Wei family asked him to stay.
So Huai Xing could only sit beside them anxiously.
Grandma Wei looked very kind, but she kept looking at him with a smile for a long time, until Huai Xing started to get goosebumps all over her body, and then said: "Ah, right?"
Huai Xing also nodded: "Everyone calls me that."
"How old are you now?" Grandpa Wei asked suddenly.
Huai Xing also looked up, Grandma Wei frowned and patted his leg, scolding: "You have a memory! Didn't Xiao Wan say that before?" She turned her head to look at Huai Xing, and then softened The voice asked, "Twenty, right?"
Huai Xing also nodded slowly: "Yes."
"Only twenty." Grandpa Wei said again.
Grandma Wei pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and turned to stare at him, the old man immediately stopped laughing.
"Then how do you get along with Xulan?" Grandma Wei looked at him eagerly.
"Very good." Huai Xing also said, "We get along very happily."
"Then Xulan treats you well?" Grandma Wei still looked at him with a narrow smile.
"He treats me very well!" Whenever he talked about how Wei Xulan treated him, Huai Xing would also become very serious, because he wanted others to know how kind he was and how kind he was to himself.
Grandma Wei chuckled a few times, clapped her hands together and raised one hand towards Huai Xingye.
Huai Xing also looked a little puzzled, seeing grandma shake her hand, and then looked at her stretching out her hand in confusion.
Grandma Wei put his hands together with a smile, asked him a few more questions, and nodded in satisfaction after asking all the questions she wanted to ask.
Huai Xing also lowered his eyes to see the palms of the two folded together. The one covering the back of his hand has already seen many wrinkles, which are the traces of time, while his own looks completely different from it. There was an indescribable feeling in the palm of my hand.
It's like the older generation passed on some of their expectations or blessings to the new generation through such a handshake.
Beautiful and magical.
"Come on," Grandma Wei patted his hand.
"What's the matter?" Huai Xing also raised his eyes, he is now full of infinite closeness to the old man in front of him.
As Wei Xulan said, his family members are easy to get along with. Or maybe it is because of this kind of family that Wei Xulan is such an outstanding person.
"Come on~" Grandma Wei squinted at him mysteriously and smiled, "Grandma asked you something."
Huai Xing also pursed his lips, leaned over curiously and put his face over to listen.
After hearing what question Grandma Wei asked, Huai Xing also jumped out in shock, seeing her still smiling expression, her cheeks gradually turned red, and she pursed her lips and looked at her with complicated eyes.
Grandma Wei laughed when she saw his flushed cheeks: "I'm still shy."
"Don't tease this kid." Grandpa Wei said.
Grandma Wei frowned, and turned to look at him angrily: "This is not a joke, it's a serious question."
Grandpa Wei laughed twice and remained silent.
Grandma Wei snorted, then turned to look at Huai Xing and said, "Tell Grandma, is there any?"
Huai Xing also bit his lip, but in the end he was too shy to keep his head down and cover his face with the back of his hand.
"What are you talking about?" Wei Xulan withdrew from the kitchen and came here, only to see Grandma Wei holding Ah Ye and laughing, while the other party lowered his head and didn't know what was wrong.
"Grandma is so happy?" Wei Xulan walked up to the two of them, then lowered his head to look at Huai Xingye, stretched out his hand to hold his hand covering his face, and saw that the other party was biting his lip and blushing, he chuckled and hooked his fingers Hold his jaw, "Why is Ah Ye blushing?"
Huai Xing also bit his lip, and threw himself into his arms without saying a word, without even raising his head.
Grandma Wei let go of his hand with a smile, looked at Wei Xulan and blinked: "This kid is shy~"
Wei Xulan smiled softly, took his outstretched hands, looked down at his hair and asked, "Why are you shy again?"
"Because of what?" Wei Xulan reached out and poked his cheek, but the other side turned his head and rubbed against his chest, neither letting him touch nor looking at it.
"Hehe~" Grandma Wei laughed, "Children are thin-skinned~"
Wei Xulan looked up at grandma, then rubbed the hair of the person in her arms, looked at grandma and asked, "What did grandma say to Ah Ye?"
"Hmm~" Huai Xing also moved in his arms, then grabbed his clothes and muttered coquettishly, "Don't ask."
"Pfft~" Wei Xulan laughed a few times, patted his back to comfort him, "Okay~ don't ask."
Grandma Wei looked at the two young men and smiled, her eyes were sweet.
What a beautiful look.
