Chapter 52 He Wants to Pursue You
"The photos have arrived? Let me see." Ms. Xu was very excited. She opened her email, saved all the photos, and sent them to her WeChat account to enjoy them one by one.
In their group photo, they were dressed casually. Xu Songning was wearing a brown coat. Ms. Xu was slightly shorter than her, and her short hair, which reached her neck, was neatly combed behind her ears. She leaned closer, her lips curved in a smile, and behind them was a full moon.
This photo is like their life now, they are living a very fulfilling life.
"This photo of Xiao Zhu is really well taken. Look how beautiful you are! The red color is perfect for you. Mom is very happy." Ms. Xu pointed to her favorite photo and set it as her chat background.
"It's a good shot," Xu Songning sent a message of thanks.
The other party replied quickly: Ms. Xu, you are very beautiful. If you have the opportunity, would you like to be my model?
Xu Songning "..."
How could she possibly have time to be a model? Besides, when people say "there's an opportunity," they usually assume it's just a polite remark.
"I'm sorry, I've been very busy with work. This trip to Xi'an is just for tourism," Xu Songning replied.
Ms. Xu showed her the photos and happened to see the other person's chat history. She immediately understood and, as the saying goes, "experience is the best teacher." She said directly, "He wants to pursue you."
"Mom, do you really want me to marry someone from Xi'an? Then you'll have a hard time seeing your daughter. I'm busy with work, and I won't be able to find time during the Chinese New Year." Xu Songning tapped the screen.
“No matter where you marry, aren’t you still my daughter? There’s an invisible thread connecting us. No matter where you or I are, I know that my daughter cares about me.” Ms. Xu tapped her shoulder, then tapped the same spot on herself, and tied a knot in her hand as if she were pulling a thread.
Xu Songning laughed and snuggled into her mother's arms, "Okay, okay, that's so cheesy, Ms. Xu."
Even after getting off the plane, Ms. Xu, still being overly sentimental, was selecting photos of her daughter and combining them with a few of her own photos to create a nine-grid post on her WeChat Moments. Xu Songning hadn't updated her Moments in a long time either; the last photo she posted was a picture of her with a beluga whale taken by Zhou Qiao. So she also picked her favorite photo and captioned it: "A memento."
Before long, many people gave her likes, especially Zhou Qiao and Lu Xiaomeng. The praise team was online, and Xu Songning couldn't bear to look at the comments.
But why is someone still not making a move? Is he on a flight?
As the airport crews walked by, Xu Songning couldn't help but glance at them a few more times. After she looked at them so often, Ms. Xu would jokingly ask her, "Who are you looking at?"
"I wasn't looking at anyone." Xu Songning withdrew his gaze.
"Oh my, look, who's that?" Ms. Xu suddenly patted her on the shoulder.
Xu Songning's heart skipped a beat. Just as she turned around, a white figure rushed over. Lu Xiaomeng, wearing a white short jacket, threw herself into her arms. "Aunt Xu~ Sister Xu~ You're back! I missed you so much."
"Xiao Meng, have you gained weight?" Xu Songning hugged her with one arm and held onto the suitcase with the other. She was knocked back a few steps by her, but managed to steady herself. Luckily, she wasn't wearing high heels, or she would have strained her back.
"No way! Aunt Xu, look at Sister Xu, she's bullying me." Lu Xiaomeng pulled herself out of Xu Songning's arms and threw herself into Ms. Xu's arms again.
"Oh my, my Mengmeng, it's been so long since I've seen you! Where have you gotten fat? You look just right to Auntie's. Besides, girls with a bit of meat on their bones are cuter. Don't listen to Ningning's nonsense, she doesn't understand. She's so thin, I have to feed her more meat." Ms. Xu hugged Lu Xiaomeng and laughed happily.
Xu Songning patted her bottom, "Let's go, driver Xiaomeng."
"Waaaaah, Sister Xu is my driver now, I'm not doing it anymore!" Lu Xiaomeng swung her car keys and snorted. "Unless Aunt Xu cooks me something delicious, I won't forgive you."
Xu Songning patted her head affectionately, "Alright, when have I never invited you to eat something delicious? I just got back and I'm already inviting you to dinner."
"Hehe, then I'm still Sister Xu's first wife~" Lu Xiaomeng happily hugged her arm.
"What do you mean by 'big room'?" Ms. Xu was completely bewildered, having no idea what the young people meant by their coded language.
"Ahem, it just means best friend," Lu Xiaomeng explained shyly.
"Where's Qiaoqiao? Did you call her?" Ms. Xu was full of energy. The fatigue from the flight seemed to have only fallen on Xu Songning. The groceries she bought had been delivered to the door, and she was just waiting to go back and cook.
"Sister Zhou is on her way, and she brought a box of seafood with her." Lu Xiaomeng hugged Xu Songning's arm tightly.
Xu Songning, of course, understood the significance of that box of seafood. "Oh, she finally decided to take it? She wouldn't let me take it last time."
"Why are you arguing with Qiaoqiao about seafood? Just tell Mom what you want to eat, and Mom will buy it for you. Why didn't you say you wanted seafood when you were ordering the food?" Ms. Xu said.
Lu Xiaomeng chuckled, "Auntie is fine. Sister Zhou has so much seafood, it's overflowing. She's already given it to the employees several times."
"Has Qin You gone mad?" Xu Songning asked in a low voice.
"I heard he added her on WeChat and is trying to win her back." Lu Xiaomeng replied in a breathy voice, "I really don't know what method this scoundrel used to actually add Sister Zhou on WeChat. You know, Sister Zhou had previously closed the option to add friends."
As for how they added each other on WeChat, Xu Songning pursed her lips; she knew all too well what had happened.
After dinner that night, she took Zhou Qiao back to the bar. She knew that Zhou Qiao was upset because of Qin You. She still cared about Qin You. No matter how stubborn she was, Xu Songning could tell that she and Qin You were inseparable.
There were no fundamental issues between them, but Qin You's domineering personality was unbearable for Zhou Qiao, and there was also the special nature of his profession as a singer, as every profession has its own unspeakable pain.
Xu Songning sent Qin You a message: "Be nice to her."
"?"
"It seems like you don't need to remind me of that."
"Add me as a friend. This is the last time I'll give you some pointers. I'm repaying the favor I did for saving the day," Xu Songning replied.
There was a few minutes of silence on the other end, then a message appeared: "Thank you."
It was definitely a success.
Zhou Qiao, I just can't let her go.
Since neither of them can let go, why not give it another try? Maybe I'll even be sitting at the head table at our wedding.
Xu Songning knew Qin You somewhat. She had met him the first time he sang at Zhou Qiao's bar. He had an outgoing and domineering personality and a very striking appearance. Zhou Qiao was instantly smitten. Not to mention, his singing skills were top-notch. He usually sang high-energy songs, but at the end, he sang a love song for Zhou Qiao with a heavy metal voice.
When you meet someone, you may be naturally defenseless; a single glance in a crowd is worth a thousand words.
Their relationship seemed like a natural progression. The bar owner and the bar singer were like a bolt from the blue; their arguments and reconciliations were explosive and rapid, just like Qin You's songs, which were so loud they hurt outsiders' ears.
Xu Songning is busy with work, but Zhou Qiao shares her relationship progress with her every night whenever she has free time. She seems to have become a twenty-year-old girl again, full of courage, excitement and passion for love.
Xu Songning also felt that this relationship was unreliable. Qin You didn't give people much of a sense of security. He had a certain number of fans, and many people openly pursued him. His teammates also said that it was best not to make his girlfriend public. But who is Qin You? On his work Weibo, he directly posted a photo of Zhou Qiao, not a full-body photo, but only a partial one.
Strangers who see the photo won't recognize the woman, but Xu Songning, a close friend, will recognize her at a glance.
Qin You made the official announcement directly, which caused a sensation at the time. Some people unfollowed him, while others admired him. People came and went, but Qin You didn't care. He only had eyes for Zhou Qiao.
Their relationship was passionate and intense, and their breakup also caused a stir among their friends.
"He's leaving."
