Chapter 96 Give Up Early
So when is the time?
Zhang Yang didn't ask.
The problem returned to his stomach along with the fried eggs, rice noodles and green vegetables.
That summer, he asked Xin Tianyi to wait for him to come back. Xin Tianyi didn't ask any more questions and waited until the day he returned home.
Zhang Yang will also wait for her.
Wait for that opportunity to come.
He knew that over the years, a tacit understanding had formed between them. That tacit understanding was the result of years of hard work and the cornerstone of mutual trust.
His life and Xin Tianyi's life had long been intertwined and merged together, and could not be separated.
Xin Tianyi finished a bowl of rice noodles, put down his chopsticks, pushed the bowl in front of him, and complained to Zhang Yang, "What should I do? I'm going to gain weight again. It's all your fault."
Zhang Yang smiled and cleared the dishes, saying, "It doesn't matter. Even if you gain weight, it's still mine."
Xin Tianyi glared at him speechlessly. When Zhang Yang got up to wash the dishes, she wiped the coffee table clean.
While waiting for Zhang Yang to finish washing, Xin Tianyi was already curled up on the sofa, almost asleep.
Zhang Yang walked over, sat next to Xin Tianyi, and held her hand.
Xin Tianyi leaned on Zhang Yang's shoulder and let Zhang Yang hug him.
"I can't open my eyes anymore," Xin Tianyi said lazily. "I've had classes all day today, and there are also end-of-term activities at school. I've been busy preparing for them. I'm exhausted."
"Every new semester and the end of the semester are always tiring," Zhang Yang said. "Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Xin Tianyi forced himself to open his eyes, and what caught his eye was the prominent jawline and the newly sprouted stubble.
Xin Tianyi was curious and reached out to touch it.
"You look tired too. You've even got a beard."
Zhang Yang hummed.
Xin Tianyi felt sorry for Zhang Yang, who had been traveling back and forth between the two cities these days. After work, he'd drive over to see her. They'd eat and chat together, and then Zhang Yang would leave.
Although an hour's drive is not too far, Xin Tianyi couldn't bear to have to go back and forth like this every day.
Zhang Yang doesn't like summer, and he loses weight every summer.
"Or, why don't you sleep here for one night and leave tomorrow?" Xin Tianyi said, "I'm always worried about you driving back like this."
As Xin Tianyi spoke, she circled her fingers on Zhang Yang's newly sprouted stubble. She was also sleepy and tired, and really didn't want Zhang Yang to drive at night, as it was unsafe.
Zhang Yang grabbed Xin Tianyi's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't touch me anymore. If you do, I really won't leave."
Xin Tianyi quickly retracted his hand and sat up straight again.
Zhang Yang smiled, pulled her up from the sofa, and pushed her directly into the bedroom.
Xin Tianyi was sweating profusely on his forehead.
She was a little panicked and asked quickly: "What are you doing?"
"Go to sleep!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Now? Here? Are you sure?"
Xin Tianyi asked three questions in a row, and finally sat on the bed, not daring to look at Zhang Yang.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Yang opened the thin blanket. "I'll watch you sleep. I'll leave after you fall asleep."
"Actually, you can sleep here."
Xin Tianyi is like this. If others want to leave, she can't bear it. If they don't leave, she...
Finally, pointing upstairs, he said, "There are rooms upstairs."
"You have so much confidence in me?" Zhang Yang said helplessly, "I don't have confidence in myself. I'd better go back."
"Well, don't run around tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the weekend, so come back the day after tomorrow."
"I'll check the time tomorrow," Zhang Yang said. "Dabao will be back this weekend too. He said he wants to have a showdown with his family."
Xin Tianyi was amused. "He just said that. Bai Xue wouldn't even watch him act so foolishly."
"That's hard to say. After Wei Ran's experience, Dabao is also afraid. Aunt Qinghua can accommodate Dabao in other matters, but not in this matter. And it's not the first time she has made trouble at Bai Xue's store. Dabao called me a few days ago to tell me about it, and it still bothers him."
…
Yuan Dabao's weekend plan had been a decisive one. He planned to discuss the matter thoroughly with Wang Qinghua and finally convince her to accept Bai Xue. However, Wang Qinghua somehow figured out his plan. When he returned home without warning, she wasn't there.
After Wang Qinghua retired from the cotton mill, he stayed at home all the time. He usually didn't go anywhere. At most, he would scold his ignorant sons with Du Lurui. Yuan Dabao calculated the time and rushed home, but was turned away. The door was locked and his key could not be opened.
I waited at the door until the sun set, and then Wang Qinghua came back.
After seeing Yuan Dabao, Wang Qinghua was not surprised at all. He just asked what time he arrived.
"Did you change the lock?" Yuan Dabao asked, "Why can't my key open the front door?"
"Oh, the lock is rusty." Wang Qinghua took out his key and opened the door. "I changed the lock."
Wang Qinghua looked at Yuan Dabao and asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you wouldn't be back this week?"
"It's my turn to rest, so I came back." Yuan Dabao walked into the room, took a shower first, and prepared to talk to Wang Qinghua after changing his clothes.
But when he came out of the shower, Wang Qinghua left again.
He also left him a note saying that he would be away for two days and asked Yuan Dabao to have a good rest at home and to lock the door when he left.
Yuan Dabao's hair was still dripping wet. He stood in the living room, stunned, looking at the note his mother had left for him. He knew Wang Qinghua had deliberately hidden away. "If you want to talk to me, I'll disappear with you."
What's the big showdown? No one's home, let's see who you're going to fight!
Yuan Dabao collapsed on the sofa. Wang Qinghua didn't tell him where he was going, so he couldn't find him even if he wanted to. This time when he came back, he specially found someone to replace him. The next time he had a day off would be another half a month later.
Wang Qinghua has used this strategy countless times.
Every time Yuan Dabao came back to talk to her, she would disappear.
This time, Yuan Dabao wanted to surprise Wang Qinghua by telling him that he would not be back this week, but he actually came back with a surprise attack.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qinghua received the news in advance.
No need to ask, it was his father who leaked the information behind his back.
Yuan Dabao picked up his phone, called Yuan Gaoyi, and asked the first thing he asked: "Dad, when are you going to retire?"
Yuan Gaoyi replied apologetically on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, son. Your mother said that I must wait until you get married before I can retire."
"Then how did you know I changed shifts? You were the one who told my mom that I was going home after my shift, right?"
"Dabao, listen to me. Not only does your mother disapprove of you and Bai Xue, I don't either. She's really not suitable for you. You'd better give up as soon as possible."
