It was late September, and you could still faintly hear the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs in the fields outside Xiaohe Town.
Wei Lai and Qingting hurried and hurried, and it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when they stepped onto the cement road beside the fields outside the town again.
The two people walked slowly together, one in front and one behind, with a difference of half a body length between them.
Qingting used her mobile phone to send a message to An Baoer to tell her that they had returned safely, and she also did not forget to chat with Wei Lai about what happened at the high-speed railway station.
"Wang Zi is really pitiful. In the end, he still couldn't change his ticket. He probably got home after 10 o'clock."
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's his own fault for losing things. At most, I'll remind him next time I book a ticket. What do you think?" Wei Lai turned his head and looked at Qingting and said.
The same cement road beside the field, the same fluorescent lights on the roadside. Xiaoting is now less childish than before, and there is a hint of mature elegance in her temperament from the inside out.
The youthful appearance reveals a slightly mature atmosphere, just like a lotus flower that has just emerged in early summer. Just revealing that little bit of bright red can make people imagine its beauty when it is in full bloom. Even the dragonfly that rests on it makes people love it.
"You said Wang Zi has become forgetful recently. What about you? Have you forgotten something too?" Qingting suddenly turned around, a scrutinizing glimmer in her eyes.
If dragonflies turned into bees that sting people, it wouldn't be so bleak.
Wei Lai suddenly remembered that he still owed Qing Ting an explanation about Qin Wu and the others.
[I'm afraid I've been infected by Wang Zi and have completely forgotten about this matter.]
"If you said I forgot to explain the sports department to you, I told you about Lei Ming's situation before. He just ran with Senior Qin for a while."
"You are just running with Senior Qin, what about the other two girls?" Qingting's eyes flashed with thought, and she dragged the suitcase closer to Wei Lai.
"I didn't even get to say a word to them."
"real?"
"Except Lei Ming, everyone who was present at the time can testify for me."
Wei Lai thought for a long time, but had no other convincing arguments, so he could only bring up the Minister of Sports and others.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found Qingting laughing beside him.
"Xiaoting, can you please stop teasing me?" Wei Lai was helpless.
[It's a habit, but I keep getting teased, and I don't want to just lie down. It's really taxing on my brain.]
"You forgot it yourself, how can you blame me?" Qingting said, freeing her hand to tap Wei Lai's forehead, then turned around gracefully, dragging her suitcase, and continued walking in front with light steps.
Wei Lai touched his forehead in some confusion, wondering when Qing Ting developed a new habit of tapping his forehead.
Is this a punishment for disrupting the group chat atmosphere in an online ride-hailing car?
…
After sending Qingting home, it was already past eight o'clock when Wei Lai returned home.
"Mom and Dad! I'm back."
After entering the room, Wei Lai shouted to Xu Xiang and Wei Zikang who were watching TV in the living room while changing his slippers.
"Welcome home, the food is hot in the pot. If you are hungry, go get it yourself."
"Um."
Xu Xiang turned her head and responded to Wei Lai, but Wei Zikang lay in her arms like a dead fish without moving.
Wei Lai put his luggage at the stairs, preparing to move it upstairs later. As he walked towards the kitchen, he turned around and looked at his father curiously.
"Mom, what's wrong with Dad? He's like a deflated balloon."
"You don't have to worry about him. It's just that the holiday is coming soon and he is a little tired... Zikang, you haven't seen the child for a month. You should show some appreciation." Xu Xiang hugged Wei Zikang and patted his head, just like an adult coaxing a child to call him relative during the New Year.
"Son, you're back. You're not allowed to come back next time." Wei Zikang shouted lazily, and the next second, his face was ravaged by Xu Xiang like dough.
This old couple is really something.
Wei Lai caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and pretended not to see it.
But when I think about the chance to stay in Xiaoting's arms like this in the future, I really don't like being disturbed by others. I inexplicably understand my father's feelings.
Coming out of the kitchen with the hot meal, Wei Lai casually asked, "Mom, there are still two weeks until the National Day holiday, right? Is Dad really that busy?"
"This year, there are three days between Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. It's not appropriate to take them both off, but it's not good to take them both off separately either. So your dad decided to take them both off alternately. Your dad chose Mid-Autumn Festival, so we have to finish our work before the holiday."
"Oh, I see." Wei Lai responded casually and looked up at the calendar under the clock.
At first, he didn't think it was a big deal. He and Qingting hadn't decided whether to come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.
But when he was chewing the rice in his mouth, Xiaoting's performance just now came to his mind, and he froze.
Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are indeed special days for everyone, but there is another day that is even more special for another person.
Without even having time to swallow the rice in his mouth, Wei Lai ran to the calendar with his cheeks puffed out, picked it up and looked at it.
Oops, I forgot Xiaoting’s birthday.
After confirming again and again, Wei Lai put down the calendar, hurried back to the dining table, picked up his mobile phone and started checking.
I still remember that the last time Xiaoting’s birthday was on a weekend.
He didn't think about it, but she called him home and had a meal cooked by her.
It was an impressive meal. Lettuce, fruit plate, salad, sunflower cookies. These things were nothing special when they were placed one by one, but when they were all put on the table at once, he was confused.
He didn't realize that Qingting wanted to tell him that it was her birthday, but she asked him to eat everything without leaving any.
