Volume 1 Chapter 56: Cry if you want to, don't hold it back
"Grandma, you're joking. From now on, Xiaoxi will be the only one who will take care of me."
After hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but look at the old man. This future grandson-in-law not only has high IQ, but also high EQ, and is a handsome man. He must be firmly grasped.
Dinner was a simple set of six dishes and one soup, home-cooked food with both meat and vegetarian options.
Among them, there is a dish that Song Xi has been eating since she was a child. It is also her favorite, and she only eats it made by her grandmother.
The old lady told Shang Fuyan all this because she wanted him to know more about Song Xi. She was afraid that her granddaughter would never be able to eat Four Happiness Meatballs cooked this way again after she was buried a hundred years later.
Shang Fuyan understood the old lady's intention and said sincerely: "Grandma, can you teach me how to cook this dish?"
"Of course. I'll write you a note later. Just follow the steps above and you won't fail."
Song Xi felt very upset after hearing this, "Grandma, I want to eat what you cook."
"Silly child, I can't be with you forever. I'll pass on the recipe of this dish to Xiao Shang. If you want to eat it, ask him to make it for you."
Song Xi felt very sad when she thought that one day her grandparents would leave her and no longer be in this world.
At this moment, she didn't even have the mood to eat.
As if noticing her low mood, Shang Fuyan took over the conversation, "Speaking of Four Happiness Meatballs, I have two colleagues who both like her novels very much."
Suddenly, Song Xi looked at Shang Fuyan in surprise, "What did you just say?"
The man smiled and said, "My two female colleagues are both in their thirties. They hold their phones every day and read the serialized novels of Si Xi Wan Zi."
At this moment, Song Xi felt as if the sky had fallen. He could no longer care about being immersed in sadness, but was instead replaced by a sense of uneasiness.
The two old men didn't have any particularly big reaction.
Only Song Xi, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, had his fur standing on end and looked ready to attack at any time.
Shang Fuyan raised his hand and patted her back gently, "Eat, or it will get cold."
Song Xi was already extremely certain that he must have seen the text she had written under the tree, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
It was really a mistake, a mistake.
In this way, the pen name was exposed. Alas, how sad!
After that, Shang Fuyan never mentioned the Four Joy Meatballs again. But he ate a lot of them, a whole one.
Song Xi's attention was instantly diverted, "Did you miss lunch?"
"Not only that, I didn't even have breakfast."
"Why don't you eat? Is your body made of iron?"
Shang Fuyan noticed that Song Xi was angry, and couldn't help but soften his voice, "I want to come over to visit grandpa and grandma earlier."
At this moment, the old man saw that the situation was not good, and continued: "I am very satisfied with Xiaoshang."
"I am also very satisfied." The old lady touched Song Xi's arm.
Then, he whispered in Song Xi's ear: "Don't be angry, he wants to see you earlier."
Song Xi certainly understood, but he still felt distressed when he heard that he had skipped two meals in a row.
So she picked up the chopsticks and kept putting all kinds of meat and vegetables into his bowl, until it was almost piled up into a small mountain.
The two old men looked at each other and smiled.
Shang Fuyan ate the rice in the bowl, feeling happy and sweet in his heart.
Dinner lasted for about an hour, after which the old lady began to "drive" people away.
It would take nearly four hours to get back, and if there was traffic, it might take five hours.
For safety reasons, the old lady didn't want the two youngsters to stay here for long.
Before leaving, the old lady gave Shang Fuyan a red brocade box.
Shang Fuyan accepted it and bid farewell to the two elders.
Seeing the reluctant looks on his grandparents' faces, Song Xi resisted the urge to cry and took the initiative to hug them.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'll come and stay with you during summer vacation."
"Okay, take a rest when you are tired from work, and remember to take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, grandma, I won't treat myself badly. You and grandpa take care of yourselves."
After waving his hand, Song Xi turned around with tears already streaming down his face.
Shang Fuyan stuffed her suitcase into the trunk and waved to the two kind old people as she turned around.
The car will eventually leave.
The two old men sighed, not knowing when they would meet again...
Since we had dinner early, it was already evening.
Song Xi knew that it would be unlucky to cry in the car.
She held back and tried to think of happy things to dilute the feeling of separation.
Shang Fuyan drove the car and looked forward. "If you want to cry, just cry. There's no need to hold it in."
"But I'm afraid if I start crying, I'll flood your car."
"It's okay. I can drive the car to the desert. There's no need to worry about flooding there."
These two simple sentences made Song Xi laugh.
"Professor Shang, you are so humorous, who did you learn this from?"
The man looked at her and said, "I can't betray my master."
Sure enough, Song Xi became curious and asked, "Who is your master?"
"If you want to know, kiss me and I'll tell you."
"Tell me first. If the answer is unexpected and surprising enough, I'll kiss you twice."
The man was outmaneuvered, and the corners of his pretty lips curved upwards. It seemed that his mood had completely improved.
Song Xi knew that he was teasing her. She felt relieved by his teasing.
Suddenly, she remembered what happened at the dinner table.
Song Xi stared at his profile. He looked thinner after not seeing him for a few days. He changed his words and asked, "Have you been hungry often these past two days?"
"I always eat on time."
Song Xi didn't believe it, "Then why are you still thinner? Don't tell me it's because of the climate."
The man told the truth, "I ran into some problems and stayed up for two nights in a row."
"Why are you working so hard to get triple overtime pay?"
"So that I can come back to see you sooner."
Song Xi stopped talking and just stared at him, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Seeing that she was silent, Shang Fuyan freed one hand to hold hers, but Song Xi dodged it easily.
"Drive carefully. It is a bad habit to hold the steering wheel with one hand."
"Yes, sir."
Song Xi smiled and turned to look out the window.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. All the cars on the road turned on their lights, and ten minutes later, the car got on the highway.
Song Xi couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep leaning on the backrest.
Then, Shang Fuyan slowed down the car and drove steadily.
This feeling of being on the road made him relax. As long as she was by his side, he would not feel tired no matter where he went.
Song Xi woke up as soon as he got off the highway.
After a few seconds of pause, she was sure that it would take another half an hour to reach the urban area of Lancheng.
Song Xi became more determined to learn how to drive so that he wouldn't have to be so tired in the future.
At this moment, a man's deep voice came into my ears, "Si Xi, where should I send you back to?"
Song Xi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Yijin Garden. Tomorrow is a working day."
The man responded, "Yeah."
The car arrived at the destination quickly.
Song Xi unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Be careful on your way back."
The man stared at her, with an emotion hidden deep in his eyes that she couldn't understand. "I'm thirsty. I want to go upstairs to ask for a glass of water."
Song Xi subconsciously looked at his lips. Maybe the food made by grandma was a little salty. "Come on."
The two got out of the car and took the elevator to the 27th floor.
When the door opened, it was dark inside.
Just as Song Xi reached out to turn on the light, a force that belonged only to men pushed her against the wall, their bodies pressed tightly against each other.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Song Xi could feel the unique aura from him.
The warmth spread across the brows, lightly sweeping across them, bringing a familiar sense of tension.
"Si Xi, do you miss me?"
"……Miss you."
After hearing the words he wanted to hear, the man found her lips based on his experience and touched them gently, again and again.
Afterwards, he became even more enthusiastic.
It was as if he wanted to turn all his longing for each other after not seeing each other for two days and three nights into this one action.
