The next morning, I received a reply from Qin Siwen on my phone.
"I have always believed in you, and I will try my best to change. I thank God for letting me know you, and thank you for being with me on the road ahead."
Wen Zhicai got up and packed his things, Xu Xiu got up even earlier, and Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu also got up early, since their brother was leaving school to go home today.
We won't see each other again for more than a month, and not until next year.
Pang Wenjun, a local, wasn't in a hurry at all. He planned to send his brothers away first and then stand guard until the very end.
Wen Zhicai planned to take Qin Siwen home first, as both of them were from rural areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the distance between them was not far.
Xu Xiu specially drove his chubby Golf out, and even took some time yesterday to wash it. The car's mileage was still at 10 kilometers.
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu escorted him all the way to the parking lot, looking as if they were about to part ways forever.
What's with those expressions on your faces?
Xu Xiu joked.
"Old Wen remembers us..."
Wen Zhicai didn't even bother to look at the two of them. "I know, I'll bring you local specialties next year."
Upon hearing Wen Zhicai's words, the two immediately beamed with joy.
Xu Xiu was a little confused about the situation.
After getting into the car, Wen Zhicai clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two people outside the car window and said, "The green hills remain unchanged and the clear waters flow on forever. We'll meet again someday."
"Master Wen, your journey is long and arduous, take care on your journey!"
Xu Xiu couldn't stand them anymore, so he stepped on the gas and drove out of the school.
Qin Siwen and Wen Zhicai remained silent the entire way, and Xu Xiu knew without guessing that it was because of their blind date.
However, as an outsider, he didn't say anything; every family has its own troubles.
If Wen Zhicai ever asks him for help, Xu Xiu will do his duty without hesitation.
But now he won't say anything, he won't offer to help.
When they arrived at the high-speed rail station, since it was a stop-and-go service, Xu Xiu only said one sentence: "Old Wen, no matter how difficult things get, don't forget that you still have your brothers in dormitory 203."
Wen Zhicai did not answer, but nodded heavily.
Then they watched Xu Xiu's car leave.
"Zhicai, you have a great group of roommates and good brothers."
Qin Siwen looked at Wen Zhicai, who was gazing into the distance, and said softly.
"Yes, but when I first started school, I looked down on them a bit."
When Xu Xiu returned to school, Xiao Ruoyan was already waiting for him in the staff dormitory after class.
Because of the studio, Xu Xiu and his classmates may be among the last to leave school.
As soon as I opened the door to 503, Ah Huang came running over excitedly.
Xu Xiu bent down and patted its head, then smiled and said, "Ah Huang is so beautiful, just like its mother."
After saying that, he glanced at the simpleton who was cooking in the kitchen.
He walked straight to the kitchen and hugged her from behind, saying, "Why is my queen cooking herself?"
"Because His Majesty the King is coming back!"
Xu Xiu was speechless upon hearing this.
Looking at Xu Xiu's expression, Xiao Ruoyan asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Don't call me Your Majesty, please call me Your Excellency..."
Xiao Ruoyan: "..."
Seeing that the person had no reaction, Xu Xiu directly used his trump card and started tickling her.
"Xiu, stop fooling around, I'm cooking."
"To call or not to call?"
Xiao Ruoyan giggled as she was tickled, and finally had no choice but to call out, "Your Excellency."
But the man was not satisfied, and went even further, saying, "Your Majesty, His Majesty wishes to kiss you!"
Xiao Ruoyan rolled her eyes at him, but still stood on tiptoe and kissed Xu Xiu.
Only then were they able to get rid of this rogue lord.
Xu Xiu sat on the sofa in the living room with his legs crossed, looking languid.
Ah Huang kept watching the two of them from the kitchen doorway, his eyes filled with doubt.
After Xu Xiu sat down on the sofa, Ah Huang followed, but after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't climb onto the sofa.
Xu Xiu picked it up and smelled it, noticing the scent of human shampoo on Ah Huang. Only then did he remember that he had read online that dogs shouldn't use human shampoo.
He called out to the figure in the kitchen, "Ruoyan, did you give Ah Huang a bath?"
"yes!"
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruoyan poked her little head out from the kitchen.
"The internet says you can't wash dogs with human shampoo."
Xiao Ruoyan was also taken aback when she heard Xu Xiu's words.
"Xiu, my old dog Ah Huang always used my shower gel to wash him."
Xu Xiu thought about it and realized that it made sense; back then, the family's stray dogs were always washed with soapy water.
The native dogs passed down from our ancestors don't need any pet shampoo.
Thinking this through, Xu Xiu felt relieved. He didn't care what people said online; he'd just do what made him happy...
When the topic of bathing came up, Xu Xiu asked curiously, "Ruoyan, it's so cold, how did you bathe Ah Huang?"
"I took a shower this morning, and Ah Huang took it with me."
"What!!!"
Hearing Xu Xiu's startled cry.
Xiao Ruoyan came out of the kitchen. "Xiu, what's wrong?"
"No way, you actually took Ah Huang to bathe? You've never even taken me with you!"
Xiao Ruoyan brandished the spatula, as if to say, "Are you dreaming?"
Then I went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Xu Xiu hugged Ah Huang and whispered, "Ah Huang, Ah Huang! You're so lucky."
"Tell me, what did your mom see while she was taking a shower?"
"Don't stay silent, it's so stingy. Share it!"
"At worst, I'll tell you what I see next time."
Ah Huang just whimpered a couple of times.
Although Xu Xiu spoke very softly, Xiao Ruoyan had just finished cooking the dishes and brought them out.
Hearing what Xu Xiu said to Ah Huang, he felt both annoyed and amused.
Upon seeing the table full of delicious food, Xu Xiu simply tossed Ah Huang aside.
"Xiu, you can't lead Ah Huang astray."
"How could that be? I'm such a pure person."
Xu Xiu argued while eating his food.
"pure?"
"Yes, I'm 18, no, I mean 19. I've remained celibate for 19 years just to wait for you."
"Xiu, you're getting more and more mischievous."
“I’m not being naughty, it’s just that I’m growing to like you more and more, Your Majesty.”
Xiao Ruoyan knew she almost never won an argument, so she didn't bother arguing with him.
"Xiu, how does it taste?"
"A delicacy beyond compare."
Xiao Ruoyan was afraid that she had added too much salt again, so after cooking both dishes, she tasted them to make sure there was no problem before serving them.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiu slipped away, afraid that if he stayed any longer he wouldn't want to leave.
Back in the dormitory, I saw Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu looking utterly dejected.
"What's wrong, comrades?"
"Hey, Lao Wen isn't here."
"You're still not back, this is so damn boring."
Xu Xiu waved the snacks he had taken from the staff dormitory in front of the two of them.
"Hey Lao Xu, where did you get these snacks?"
"Bought it? Or did you steal it?"
"Old Pang, what a question you asked."
Xu Xiu said with disdain.
Xiao Xu took the snacks and muttered, "Old Pang's mind is always on women."
“My Yun’er, you have to go back tomorrow.”
Pang Wenjun propped his head up and said dejectedly.
"I wonder how that family will treat her when she goes back."
"Old Pang, why think so much? You don't have the ability to change anything right now."
