Lin Shumei and Xu Xuejun were sitting by the window on either side. Even though nothing happened, she felt inexplicably guilty.
But with Lin Guoqing around, it was impossible for them to go along silently.
Lin Guoqing has been chatting with Xu Xuejun about his study, work and life in the provincial capital.
Lin Shumei felt the summer breeze and listened to the conversation in the car. It was from their conversation that she first learned about Xu Xuejun's other side. Well, actually, he was quite impressive...
Lin Guoqing did not think that his daughter was definitely better than others and that others would never be able to catch up even if they walked barefoot just because her university sounded better, she graduated earlier than others, or she was admitted to graduate school which sounded more impressive.
From Lin Guoqing's own perspective, he has always felt that things in this world are changing, and as long as you have a positive attitude and the ability to work hard, anyone can turn things around.
He and Shen Chunhua are good examples.
Who knows if one day the person standing above them might be a once insignificant character? Furthermore, their lives have just begun.
So he respects all young people.
"You and Shumei are in the same building now? What a coincidence! Then you have to help take care of her. This girl is spoiled by her family. Her happiness and unhappiness are all written on her face. She doesn't know how to hide it! She doesn't know when she will offend someone..."
"Uncle, that's because Shumei is simple-minded, it's not a bad thing!"
"Oh, then I hope everyone she meets thinks the same way as you!"
…
Lin Shumei: ??? No, why are you dragging me into this again?? !!
Lin Guoqing first sent Xu Xuejun to the dormitory, and then sent Lin Shumei to the rented community. However, since she rented the house with Wu Hua, Lin Guoqing was embarrassed to go up, so he just gave his daughter a few words and prepared to leave.
"If you're short on money, call me. If you're in trouble, call me too. Your mother and I haven't been around for nothing all these years. Don't hide under the covers and cry alone. It's cheap!"
"Dad!" Lin Shumei pouted and muttered, "How could I have done that?
Lin Guoqing hummed and continued, "I called the car dealership yesterday. I remember you said last time that you liked white, right?"
Lin Shumei nodded with shining eyes.
"I've ordered one for you. I'll let you know when it arrives." Lin Guoqing was as angry as a turtle. "If you want to go home again during this period, just call me and your brother or I will come to pick you up. Don't bother yourself. Aren't you tired?"
"Yeah! Definitely not!"
"And that Xuejun." Lin Guoqing leaned his arm against the car window and smacked his lips. "You two are so close, it's convenient. If you're coming back, ask him if he wants to come back too. It's easy to pick up one person or both of you, it's just on the way!"
Lin Shumei opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, her father continued,
"I think that child is quite good. I've seen him grow up. He's honest and knows when to act. Our two families know each other well. If you're interested, I have no objection."
Lin Shumei:!!!???
"Dad! What are you talking about!!"
"It's okay, don't be shy, it's just a date! What's the big deal?"
Look at the way his daughter looks at other boys, so furtive. If she really didn't have any ulterior motives, she would want to pick her nose at other boys. Is there any need to look so carefully and sit upright?
Who hasn't been young? Who hasn't had their heart stirred? We've all been there, so who doesn't understand who?
"But Dad supports you to have a secret relationship and not let others know. If you feel it's not good, you can always change the person. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Times have changed. Who still relies on parents' orders and matchmakers these days? Isn't it all about free love? He even supports his daughter dating multiple people so that she can pick the right one.
Unlike his daughter-in-law, it is said that the third child is his daughter-in-law's first love. No wonder she was so blind to fall in love with her own son! I just hope my daughter will not get married impulsively.
"Hey! But I have one thing to remind you!" Lin Guoqing looked at the time and it was almost time. He started the car and waved to his daughter. At the very end, he left a sentence.
"Well, don't overdo the physical contact! Girls still have to protect themselves!"
Then he slipped away.
Lin Shumei was left alone, feeling disheveled in the wind.
No, Dad, does Mom know that you are so open-minded?? ! !
***
The days seem to have not changed much, but they seem to have changed a little bit.
Ever since Wu Hua and Guo Kai went to the nightclub to see the world, they have completely fallen in love with this activity and make appointments to go to the nightclub to dance every few days.
For eight out of ten days after get off work, only Lin Shumei and Xu Xuejun were left.
Neither of them said anything about eating separately, they just tacitly ate together every day, starting with lunch and gradually extending it to dinner. Gradually, Xu Xuejun learned to wait for Lin Shumei to come downstairs at the gate of the community with breakfast in his hand.
Wu Hua and Guo Kai also seemed to have made an appointment and always left together early, leaving the two of them walking slowly on the sidewalk.
The summer sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and onto Lin Shumei's gorgeous skirt. She took a bite of the still crispy scallion bun, took a sip of soy milk, and listened to the boy next to her talking about the interesting gossip he had seen when he went to buy breakfast just now.
She seemed to suddenly feel the feeling that Lin Shuying had described.
There is someone who accompanies you in this strange city, from morning till night, from sunny to rainy. He tolerates your bad temper, shares your happiness and sadness, and is always there for you no matter what you want to do.
That's enough.
No one broke the window paper, and Lin Shumei felt very satisfied with this feeling.
It was not until the weekend near the end of summer when Lin Shumei drove the new car her father had given her to pick up Xu Xuejun and asked him to accompany her to KFC that Xu Xuejun seemed to suddenly wake up.
This car was something he could never afford in his lifetime as a clerk. But for Lin Shumei, it was just a gift from her family for each of her siblings.
He silently accompanied Lin Shumei to finish the KFC meal, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"My summer internship is over and I have to go back to school."
Lin Shumei bit her Coke straw before she remembered it was already the end of August. "Oh, right, school is about to start for me too. So what will you do next..."
"I don't plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, so I'll work after I graduate, but I'll have to find a job on my own. I don't have any industry experience, so no matter where I go, I'll have to start from the bottom."
Xu Xuejun spoke very quickly, as if he would have to hold it back if he didn't speak faster.
"Shumei, there may be a huge gap between you and me for a long time. Even after a long time, I can't guarantee that I can make up for this gap."
"But I still want to ask, are you willing to give me a chance?"
