I originally thought that after my parents fell asleep, I could talk on the phone with Luo Xiangdong, but because of what my mother said. I really took it to heart and started to feel like I was counting down the days.
The final decision between me and Luo Xiangdong is not some day in the future, but only two years at most. I am already twenty-four, and will be twenty-six in two years. I am older than young.
This is also the maximum limit that my mother can accept. After all, in our hometown, many of our contemporaries are already married and have children by the time they are 22 or 3 years old.
After taking a shower, lie down on your bed. Luo Xiangdong called me. I didn't chat with him for a few words and then I said I was sleepy and wanted to sleep. After hanging up the phone, I stared blankly at the ceiling in the dark room, thinking about our future.
I don’t know what time it is at night. Because I wasn't asleep, I could hear the slightest movement outside clearly. It was clearly the sound of the outermost security door being opened, not loud. Only for a moment did I wonder if I had heard wrongly.
Prick up your ears and listen carefully. Not long after, the door handle of my guest bedroom was turned open. This is the middle of the night. It's weird if I'm not scared. He quickly stood up and turned on the desk lamp, and just in time Luo Xiangdong opened the door and came in.
I see it's him. Suddenly his eyes widened and he said, "How did you..."
"Shh..." Luo Xiangdong raised his hand to his lips and closed the door carefully.
He walked to my bed and sat down, looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you?"
I saw the obvious inquiry in his eyes and even a trace of imperceptible panic, so I couldn't help but reply aloud: "I'm fine."
Luo Xiangdong stared into my eyes without blinking and said, "Then why don't you talk to me on the phone?"
It turned out that there was a little change in my heart, and I even thought I was pretending to be okay, but Luo Xiangdong was keenly aware of it.
I didn’t want him to misunderstand that my parents were saying something behind my back, so I said harshly: “It’s nothing, I’m just sleepy.” After saying that, I was afraid that he wouldn’t believe it, so I added: “I was even frightened. , I’ve been shopping for another day and I’m tired.”
Luo Xiangdong said without changing his expression: "Did uncle and aunt tell you something? You asked me not to hide anything from you, and you didn't let me lie to you. So what happens if you hide something from me?"
Luo Xiangdong is too cunning, or I am too bad at pretending. Seeing that this matter couldn't get over, I whispered the truth: "Two years, my mother said she would give us two years at most."
I don’t need to say anything about what to say next, Luo Xiangdong will naturally understand.
In fact, the last thing I want is to put pressure on him. I don’t want him to feel that our family is forcing him to get married.
I was a little afraid that Luo Xiangdong would be silent or look embarrassed. But he reached out and pushed my forehead, complaining: "Is that all?"
I was pushed back by him and then glared at him.
When Luo Xiangdong saw this, he turned around and smiled: "That's silly."
I pursed my lips and said, "Why am I so stupid? After thinking about it all night, you are still talking about me."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Who told you to hold it in yourself? Just tell me no?"
I said, "What's the point of telling you? Can you marry me within two years?"
Luo Xiangdong replied quickly: "Why not? If I don't marry you, who will you marry?"
I still pursed my lips and whispered: "Don't come here, who wouldn't say good things?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "If you are really so anxious, then I will take you to see my parents when you get up tomorrow. Our two families can sit down and talk about this matter. What do you think?"
I didn't believe it at all, so I rolled my eyes and said, "Okay, it sounds like the truth."
Luo Xiangdong said seriously: "Actually, my parents have known about us being together for a long time."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at him intently.
Luo Xiangdong said directly: "Yi Yang mentioned you in front of my parents earlier. They are no strangers to you, but they didn't expect the two of us to be together."
Luo Xiangdong said it lightly, but my heart skipped a beat, and a huge wave arose along with it.
Kuang Yiyang mentioned me in front of Luo Xiangdong's parents, in what context would he mention me? Of course not after knowing that I like Luo Xiangdong. If it was before...
My eyes suddenly changed, and I looked at Luo Xiangdong with a little more fear.
If Luo Xiangdong's parents knew that I was the person Kuang Yiyang had liked for a long time, what would they think of me now that I was with Luo Xiangdong
I immediately panicked and opened my lips slightly, not knowing what to say. Luo Xiangdong reached out and held my hand. His palm was warm. He held my hand hard and said to me, "Don't worry, I have already made it clear to them."
I grabbed Luo Xiangdong's hand with my backhand, frowning, about to cry: "Then what did your parents say?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's okay, let's talk about our situation and give them some time." After a pause, he added: "After all, I am older and my thoughts are more conservative."
I just slumped, sitting on the bed with my mouth hanging open, feeling like I wanted to die. Luo Xiangdong sat closer, reached out and pinched my face, making me laugh: "Don't take it to heart, there is still me, I can be with whoever I want, no one else can care."
I said, "Then your parents must not like me."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Who said that? My mother saw your photo and praised you for your beauty."
I said, "What's the use of being pretty? She's much more beautiful."
Luo Xiangdong said: "But I like you, and I have to be you."
I looked up at him, and saw that his eyes were full of doting and tenderness. Suddenly I leaned forward and rushed over. I held Luo Xiangdong's neck and said close to his face: "Xiangdong..." God knows how much I love him, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to grow old together with him.
Luo Xiangdong put his arm around my waist and whispered seductively in my ear: "Go to my place?"
I don't know if it was the tone of his voice or the warm breath he exhaled that just fell on my sensitive bed. I was thinking about my parents, because I was worried that they would wake up in the middle of the night and find that I was not there. Once I felt fear in my heart, this matter became more interesting than before.
No wonder so many people like to have affairs, it's really exciting.
Luo Xiangdong also felt that I was different today, so he worked harder. I gritted my teeth and dared not shout loudly, but Luo Xiangdong gasped: "It's okay, you can't hear me from such a distance."
I ignored him, thinking what if I heard him? Do you want my old face anymore? How will I face my parents again
The sheets were soaked with sweat, and I lay motionless on my bed as if my whole body had been hollowed out. Luo Xiangdong turned on the bedside switch, and the warm yellow light strip illuminated the room. The first thing I did was check the time. It turned out that it was already half past midnight.
I asked Luo Xiangdong: "What time will you arrive at my place?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Twelve o'clock."
I struggled to get up: "I'm going back."
Luo Xiangdong grabbed my arm and pulled me back. He said, "Leave after you're done? Do you think this is a hotel?"
Funny in my heart, I followed his words and said: "You did well, do I need to give you a tip?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "The tip will be discounted. You might as well give it to me again."
I stepped back repeatedly and said nervously: "Stop it, I have to get up early tomorrow!"
