"You...what are you doing?" Chen Xiaoyu took a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at Su Congwen with a helpless look on her face, and forgot to break free.
Su Congwen found Chen Xiaoyu's seat, then exchanged seats with the aunt next to her. After he sat down, he said to Chen Xiaoyu, "I'll take you home." Before leaving, he had told his parents that he was worried about Chen Xiaoyu and decided to take her back to Chuncheng personally. His parents didn't say anything.
When he bought soda for Chen Xiaoyu just now, he went to buy a train ticket.
Is that why? Chen Xiaoyu's eyes, which had just brightened up, lost their color again.
"No need, I can go back by myself." Chen Xiaoyu said, "I came here alone, I can go back safely."
"I didn't know when you came, but I have to ensure your safety when you go back. I'm worried about you going alone." Su Congwen said to her seriously, "I will feel at ease only when I send you home safely."
Chen Xiaoyu looked at his serious eyes and felt a little helpless. "You don't have to be so serious and responsible. You are not mine."
She looked at Su Congwen holding her hand, and tried to pull it out gently, but didn't move.
Chen Xiaoyu: “???” She used a lot of strength, but was still held firmly by Su Congwen.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaoyu's face turned red in public.
"I'm going to answer your questions now." Su Congwen looked at her with an extremely serious and sincere look. "I admit that most of the time I'm not a brave person. I worry that my family will worry about me, I worry that the people around me will be hurt because of me, and I worry that I can't bring happiness to the people I love..."
He listed many examples in a row, and then said, "But what I worry about most is that I will regret it myself and make the people I love regret it."
Su Congwen looked at her and said word by word: "Chen Xiaoyu, I like you."
The sudden confession stunned Chen Xiaoyu and she forgot what to say for a moment.
"I used to think that if nothing had happened, I could have fundamentally avoided the unknown pain. But now I understand that compared to the unpredictable future, what I fear more than you actually leaving me is that."
"So," Su Congwen whispered, "please don't meet other men, okay?"
He said this with a tone that sounded aggrieved, even humble.
Chen Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter. Her smile was bright and beautiful, but she laughed with tears in her eyes.
Su Congwen frantically wiped her tears, "Why are you crying?"
"Who told you to make me cry?" Chen Xiaoyu glared at him. "Why didn't you just promise me earlier? Why did you have to make me so sad before you said these words?"
Su Congwen curled the corners of his mouth.
"You're still laughing?" Chen Xiaoyu hit him with a punch. "Let me ask you, if I don't come to you this time, will you really never come to me again?"
Su Congwen thought about this problem seriously.
"Won't."
Chen Xiaoyu's lips pursed and she was about to cry again.
"I'm saying I won't stop looking for you." Su Congwen said quickly, "Even if I don't think it through this time, I will think it through later because I don't want to miss you. Even after thinking it over and over again, I will figure it out. It's just a matter of time."
"That's more like it." Chen Xiaoyu smiled again, but then she thought of home and felt a little scared. "Are you sure you want to take me back?"
"Um."
"Then my parents...may not have a very favorable impression of you?" Chen Xiaoyu touched her nose and said, "You have to be mentally prepared."
Her father scolded Su Congwen every day at home for making his daughter sad, and now she has come here again. Chen Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about what Su Congwen would suffer when he went to her house this time.
"It doesn't matter. I was wrong before. I deserve to be beaten and scolded." Su Congwen smiled. Since he had made the decision, he was ready. He was a person who would never give up once he made up his mind.
Chen Xiaoyu's smile widened, and she was visibly happy. Su Congwen looked at her and smiled too.
——————————
"I really didn't expect that my brother would have such a day." Su Congwu sighed countless times, "He looked like he didn't care about the girl, but in fact, he sent her home. It's thousands of kilometers away."
"Congwen should send the girl back home," Su Aimin said. "I think she left without telling her family. If she doesn't go back, her family will probably report her to the police."
"That's right." Wu Guixiang nodded. "But this also shows that Congwen cares about that girl."
"I told you that Congwen and Xiaoyu have a chance, and it turns out to be true." Zhang Xinlan chuckled, feeling very happy.
The thing that has been worrying her is finally going to be solved. How can she not be happy?
The story of Su Congwen spread quickly throughout the village like wings. It was the New Year's Day and everyone was already bored. They gathered in groups of three or five every day to chat. The story of Su Congwen undoubtedly added a lot of topics for everyone to talk about after dinner.
"That girl is really brave to come here from so far away."
"They just had lunch, and Congwen sent the girl back home. Do you think this is romantic between young people?"
"During the New Year, if a girl goes to someone else's house, I think Congwen will be embarrassed by his future father-in-law and mother-in-law."
“…”
The villagers were chattering about it, and the Xia family naturally knew about it too.
Xu Hanhe sighed and said to Xia Qiu, "Look at your brother Congwen's mother. Your aunt was worried about Congwen finding a partner before, but she didn't expect that after the Chinese New Year, her daughter-in-law would come to her house on her own. It's really interesting."
"When did you say you..."
"That's enough, that's enough, Mom, stop reading." Xia Qiu covered her ears, not wanting to listen. "I'm still young. My studies and career are my priority right now."
"Okay, okay, it would be best if you never grow up." Xu Hanhe said unhappily.
"Of course I do." Xia Qiu chuckled, "I will stay at home all my life and be filial to you and my dad, as well as my grandpa and my grandma."
"You're not going out to work hard? You're staying at home all your life."
"Of course, when I make money in the future, I will buy you a house in a big city." Xia Qiu said confidently.
"Okay, I'll wait." Xu Hanhe didn't spoil her daughter's fun. "But you know what, Congwen's story, chasing love across thousands of miles, sounds really romantic."
Xia Qiu curled the corners of his lips, feeling that he had some credit for what happened to Brother Congwen. After all, he had advised Brother Congwen to face it bravely, and he had contributed to their relationship.
After all, when it comes to love, the best thing is that both parties are in love with each other, and other problems are not a problem.
Xia Qiu was feeling smug when he suddenly froze.
Why didn't she think about it herself when she was advising others to face it bravely?
