Chen Xu put on disposable gloves, pulled off the chicken wing and handed it to Yang Jinxia next to him.
A group of people sat by the ridge and started eating. Today was sunny, the wind was not strong, and it was winter, so there were no mosquitoes. It was really a unique flavor.
"Chen Xu." Chen Chao threw a bottle of beer over and Chen Xu caught it.
He asked Yang Jinxia, who was eating with gusto next to him, "Do you want some?" Seeing her shaking her head, he asked them for a bottle of coconut juice.
"Wait." Seeing Chen Xu was about to pull the ring of the beer bottle, she called him, took off her gloves, took out a tissue from her pocket, carefully wiped the mouth of the bottle, and then handed it back to him.
The other couples were all old couples. Seeing the tenderness and love revealed in their expressions and actions, I felt a little sour in my heart. Then when I looked at my own significant other, I was left with only envy.
As a result, they still couldn't eat the braised goose in the evening. Chen Chao and his friends brought too much food, and the chicken's stomach was stuffed with mushrooms. They also roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes at the same time, which they couldn't finish.
The rest were taken back home and had for dinner.
After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock, and Chen Xu and Yang Jinxia left their grandmother's house.
Before leaving, grandma took Yang Jinxia's hand and asked her to come and visit often in the future.
"I understand, grandma. You should go to bed early." Yang Jinxia said, waved goodbye to her, and started the car.
After leaving the village, she whispered, "Your grandmother is such a nice person."
Chen Xu was sitting in the passenger seat. He had drunk two bottles of beer, but he didn't drive even though he wasn't drunk. After hearing her words, he said, "Yes, when I was a kid, my grandma loved me the most. Every time she came back, she would secretly give me some pocket money."
"I heard from grandma that after you started elementary school, you lived with your grandparents and you weren't very happy?"
Chen Xu looked out the dark car window and said, "That can't be helped. Two elderly people have to take care of so many children. How can they take care of them all?"
Yang Jinxia turned her head and looked at him, then reached out and held his hand. Chen Xu held it back, then let go after a while and said, "Just focus on driving."
…………
Forty minutes later, the car arrived at the downstairs of Chen Xu's house and stopped.
"I'm leaving." Chen Xu unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Call me when you get to the dormitory."
Yang Jinxia looked at him and asked, "What else?"
"What?" Chen Xu was puzzled at first, but after a while he reacted, a smile appeared on his face, he leaned over, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "See you tomorrow."
She waved.
He got out of the car and watched it disappear around the corner. He then walked towards the stairs and saw his mother and Chen Ziqi coming out. He asked curiously, "Where are you going so late?"
"Where are the people?" Zeng Wenli saw that he was alone and asked angrily, "Hey, why don't you invite them to sit upstairs for a while?"
Chen Xu realized that they wanted to see Yang Jinxia. It must be his grandmother who tipped off his mother before he came back. He said helplessly, "She has to go to work tomorrow."
Zeng Wenli glared at him and said, "It doesn't matter if I spend a few minutes like that. I just want to see what she looks like."
Chen Ziqi advised from the side, "Second Aunt, you are so enthusiastic that it's easy to scare people away."
"I'm just anxious." Zeng Wenli's tone finally softened.
Chen Xu secretly gave Chen Ziqi a thumbs up, she still had a way.
When going upstairs, Zeng Wenli quickly asked Chen Xu again, "What's her name, where is her home, what is her job, where does she work, how many brothers and sisters does she have..."
"You dare?" Zeng Wenli turned around and glared at him. After a while, she said, "Forget it, I won't ask. This mainly depends on a person's character. If his character is good, everything else doesn't matter..."
Chen Xu felt even more helpless as he listened to her nagging. He was the only child in the family, and his mother had always instilled in him the idea that he must have more children. Now, several of her friends around her have become grandmothers, and she has also begun to get anxious.
…………
Chen Xu took a shower, returned to the room, and was drying his hair. Chen Ziqi walked in, sat on the bed, hugged the pillow, and asked, "Have you really decided to be with her?"
Chen Xu asked casually, "Why, do you feel bad?"
"I think it's good. You can see that she cares about you. You got a great deal."
As she spoke, she observed his expression and noticed that his hand movements paused for a moment. There was something wrong with his expression, so she said, "I feel like you're not very happy."
Chen Xu unfolded the towel, hung it on the hanger, turned around, and asked her a question, "If you meet a boy you like very much, how far would you go for him?"
Chen Ziqi thought for a moment and said, "If I really like her, I might pursue her."
"Even if he rejects you again and again, deliberately avoids you, saying that he already has a girlfriend, can you still persist and not give up?"
Chen Ziqi raised her eyebrows, snorted coldly, and said, "He dares? It's his blessing that my aunt likes him. He dares to refuse."
Chen Xu ignored her and continued, "Can you put aside all your reserve and say in front of his friends that you were the one who pursued him? Can you follow him to his remote hometown to meet his grandmother? Can you take the initiative to get drunk and drag him to sleep in the same bed?"
The more Chen Ziqi listened, the more stunned he became.
"Would you take great care of a man, take the initiative to help him save face in front of his friends, stand in front of him when he's in trouble, and even give him opportunities to shine when you're shopping?"
After Chen Ziqi heard what he said, she swallowed hard and whispered, "Isn't this good? This proves that she really loves you."
Chen Xu rubbed his face vigorously and said, "No one is born knowing how to please others. This is against human nature. Have you ever seen a newborn baby? When it is born, it only knows how to ask for food. When it is feeding, no matter who competes with it for milk, it will do its best to push the other person away."
"When he was two or three years old, he would never let other children touch his toys. If adults didn't teach him, he would never take the initiative to share with other children."
Chen Ziqi vaguely understood what he meant. Yang Jinxia was obviously from a good family. She had a temperament that not everyone could have. She looked very well-educated and very elegant. When they first met, she was actually very envious.
Normally, if she was born in such a family, was pretty, and didn't have princess syndrome, she would be pretty good. But she could put aside her dignity and pursue a man who seemed to be of ordinary condition. This matter itself was incredible.
It is actually normal for Chen Xu to have such doubts.
However, his behavior is very abnormal. If a normal man meets a white, rich and beautiful woman like this, he would probably jump on her in ecstasy. This is simply a blessing in disguise. Even if they break up in the end, he won't suffer any loss. Who would bother about such a thing?
She didn't know whether to say that her brother was stupid or to praise him for being responsible.
"So, what are your plans?" she asked hesitantly at last.
Chen Xu asked back, "If it were you, what would you do?"
She thought for a long time and said honestly, "If it were me, I would still obey."
Chen Xu reached out and rubbed her head a few times, saying, "Yeah, who can refuse?"
