Chapter 234: Just a Wall
On the day Xu Qingsong came back, there was no night scene, and Liu Wangxue was going home, so she went to the airport to pick him up.
The filming in the afternoon went smoothly and there was no need to modify the script, so Liu Wangxue asked Jing Yujun for leave and left a moment early.
He suddenly stopped at the corner of the alley and turned into a flower shop.
When she came out, she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, which included sunflowers, a few pink gerberas, and some white daisies and baby's breath as embellishments.
Beauty and flowers complement each other. When Liu Wangxue was standing at the exit waiting for people with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, she really attracted a lot of attention.
Xu Qingsong walked out with the suitcase, and the first thing he saw was the dimples and sunflowers. His heartbeat and steps couldn't help but quicken.
The moment Liu Wangxue handed him the bouquet, Xu Qingsong really wanted to hug her.
He suppressed the urge, took the flowers, and looked into Liu Wangxue's smiling eyes: "Is it so grand?"
Liu Wangxue corrected him: "This is not called solemnity, this is called a sense of ritual. Life must have a sense of ritual."
"Yeah, a sense of ritual." Xu Qingsong silently took note of it in his mind.
When Liu Wangxue was choosing flowers, he felt that his smile was particularly like a sunflower, with the scent of sunshine, clean and warm, with both vigorous vitality and gentle tranquility.
She thought the bouquet of flowers suited him particularly well.
The two walked side by side towards the underground parking lot.
Xu Qingsong placed the suitcase on the back seat and got on the passenger seat holding the bouquet of flowers.
Liu Wangxue put her hands on the steering wheel and couldn't help but look at him with a smile: "Why not put it in the back?"
Xu Qingsong placed the flowers in front of the car and fastened his seat belt: "If I like it, I want to see it all the time."
Liu Wangxue thought, he really knows how to talk.
She said: “Today is such a happy day.”
Xu Qingsong thought to himself, that’s true, he was really happy.
But he still deliberately asked: "Did something good happen?"
Liu Wangxue steered the car and drove out: "Whether it's sending flowers or gifts, I definitely hope that the recipient will like it. If you like it, I'll be very happy."
"Then I'm happy too." Xu Qingsong said, reaching out to move the petals of the sunflower.
There was a large supermarket on the road. Liu Wangxue had bought things here on her first two trips home. She turned around and drove past.
Xu Qingsong picked up a cart at the entrance of the supermarket and walked in side by side with her.
Liu Wangxue asked him, "What do you want to eat for dinner? My mother knew you were coming back, so she gave you the chance to order."
Xu Qingsong took a leaflet about supermarket discounts handed out by a little girl and said, "I'm not picky about food, I just choose what I see, the dishes cooked by the aunt are all delicious anyway."
Then Xu Qingsong watched her put fruits, meat and seafood into the shopping cart non-stop.
"Isn't this too much?" He pushed the shopping cart and followed Liu Wangxue to the prepared food area.
"Not much," Liu Wangxue asked her aunt to help her weigh two kilograms of spicy tiger skin chicken feet, "Now that you're back, my mom will definitely cook for you, and also cook some more for Peng Peng as a snack."
Hearing him say this, Xu Qingsong felt as if they had already become a close family.
But there is a wall separating the yard.
While the aunt was weighing the chicken feet, Liu Wangxue looked at something else.
A guy next to me was mixing cold noodles for the customers. The chewy cold noodles were served with shredded cucumber, shredded carrot and some purple cabbage, with coriander, chopped green onion and crushed peanuts, mixed with seasoning and red oil. It looked very delicious.
Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "Do you want to eat cold noodles?"
Xu Qingsong thought she wanted to eat, so he said, "Buy one portion. We can have other dishes when we get home, otherwise we won't be able to finish it. Besides, this can't be kept for long."
"OK."
Liu Wangxue almost asked the boy to help her mix three portions. She was thinking that she could just use this for dinner so that she wouldn't have to go back and make it again. But Xu Qingsong's words stopped her, because Ms. Gu Xuelan would definitely not agree.
In Mother Gu's eyes, cold noodles are just snacks. Even if she bought three servings, she still had to make dinner because she always believed that snacks are not equal to meals.
After picking up the chicken feet and cold noodles, the two walked to the refrigerator. Liu Wangxue went straight to the fresh milk and took two large bottles.
Xu Qingsong rearranged the items in the shopping cart to make room for her.
After putting the fresh milk away, Liu Wangxue went to choose yogurt. There were various brands and flavors. She wanted to try something she had never had before, but she was unsure, so she asked Xu Qingsong, "What flavor do you like?"
Xu Qingsong had come over to look at it with her and recommended a new product from a certain brand: "One of my dad's students, her husband is studying probiotics. This new product is a collaboration between this brand and their laboratory. The quality and effect are quite good, and it tastes good too."
This yogurt was just launched before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The student brought it to Professor Xu’s birthday party, and it received rave reviews from everyone present.
In fact, Liu Wangxue had only drunk yogurt as a beverage or eaten it as a dessert after a meal.
Probiotics have been marketed very actively in recent years. Last year, she felt stomach discomfort and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor recommended that she take some probiotics, which could have a regulating effect.
She bought a domestic brand and after taking it for a while, she felt much better. She also bought some for her parents. Later, she felt that there was no problem and stopped taking it.
Since Xu Qingsong recommended it, Liu Wangxue took some of the flavors and put them in the shopping cart. It can not only satisfy your cravings, but also regulate your stomach, killing two birds with one stone.
After taking it, she noticed Xu Qingsong looking at her and smiling. Liu Wangxue asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Qingsong shook his head, thinking that the way she asked for everything without thinking was really cute.
I am crazy, he thought.
Seeing him shaking his head without saying anything, Liu Wangxue stretched out a finger and poked his arm, and her tone of command unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness: "Tell me, what are you laughing at?"
Xu Qingsong thought to himself, if I tell you, you will probably think I am sick.
He said: "You have to be an adult when shopping, don't make choices, just take them all."
What's so funny about this? Liu Wangxue didn't understand, so she walked towards the cashier counter with him and continued, "Is this the only privilege an adult has?"
Some people may not even have this privilege.
Xu Qingsong expressed her thoughts: "It depends on how you compare. Maybe some people don't even have this privilege."
Liu Wangxue looked at him in surprise. Was his brain in sync? When passing by the daily necessities area, toilet paper rolls and tissues were on sale. Liu Wangxue thought that the ones at home seemed to be almost used up, so he simply bought them all.
There was a promotion for a brand of sanitary napkins just now, which she used frequently. She didn't have many left at home, and since the date was almost up, she bought some.
There was a snack area near the exit, and she couldn't help but took a lot of snacks in various colorful packages.
The entire shopping cart was filled to the brim with stuff.
They have known each other for more than four months. That time we had a rooftop barbecue and went to the vegetable market together. Last time we were on the pedestrian street, and this time we were in the supermarket. These are all very lifelike scenes, and are also included in Xu Qingsong's imagination of the daily life of a small family.
When he saw Liu Wangxue picking and choosing, he always had an illusion -
His parents would always have dinner together no matter how busy they were. When he was a child, they would take him to the museum or the amusement park together on weekends, and then the family would go to the supermarket to buy groceries or daily necessities.
When Xu Qingsong grew up, his parents' habits remained. He would occasionally go to the supermarket with his parents, watch them pick and choose together, and listen to them talk about some daily household matters.
This perception of family has been rooted in his heart since childhood, so much so that he feels that his future home will be like this, plain, warm and comfortable.
But not everyone has such fantasies about family, and his ex-girlfriend is not one of them, which is one of the reasons why they broke up.
——Xu Qingsong felt that he saw the shadow of his parents’ relationship in Liu Wangxue, and also saw the realization of his own fantasy about family.
