Chapter 488: Cherish the People in Front of You
When college students get together, they mostly talk about campus life.
College students of this era care most about their future assignments, or complain about their school’s rules prohibiting dating.
During this gathering, Cheng Xuyuan always adhered to his tradition of eating more and talking less.
Cheng Xuyuan would only say a few words when he really couldn't avoid it.
But even so, everyone's topic still revolved around Cheng Xuyuan.
When they heard that Cheng Xuyuan came to the county town to help No. 1 Middle School write test papers, everyone was immediately attracted to talk.
At that moment, someone said: "The college entrance examination questions will become more and more difficult in the future."
"Besides, from now on, the college entrance examination will be dominated by children."
The man who was speaking was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, so it was not an exaggeration to say that those high school students who were sixteen or seventeen years old were children.
After all, there is a ten-year age difference between them.
"Yes, I have a friend who took the exam for the third time last year, and the gap between him and the passing score is getting bigger and bigger."
"I said I won't take the exam anymore!"
When these words were said, there was a hint of disappointment in everyone's expression.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything. After all, no one needed comfort at this moment.
They are all people who have been admitted to university, and their current emotions are just emotions.
"Xuyuan, I heard that many people want to study abroad now, especially in your school and Shuimu next to you, there are more people who want to study abroad. What do you think of studying abroad?"
A man in his twenties, wearing thick black-framed glasses, asked Cheng Xuyuan solemnly.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't like this question very much.
However, he hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Studying abroad is good, but not everything abroad is good."
"Everyone should learn more about it themselves."
Cheng Xuyuan's answer was very vague, but fortunately the person who asked the question just asked a few casual questions.
The meal took more than two hours.
Most people drank a little bit of wine, and except for a few people who had a particularly good relationship and made an appointment to find a place to chat, everyone else basically went home.
Cheng Xuyuan was going to Cheng Jiadong's house, but unexpectedly he and Feng Xiaoxia were going the same way.
Feng Xiaoxia didn't drink any alcohol, but as she walked on the road, her face was a little red, perhaps because of the cold wind.
The two walked side by side, and at first, they just talked about some things about the New Year.
But after walking a few hundred meters, Feng Xiaoxia suddenly said, "I made a fool of myself that day."
Hearing Feng Xiaoxia say this, Cheng Xuyuan naturally knew that she was talking about blind dates, and immediately smiled and said, "Who doesn't go on a blind date in their lifetime? This is quite normal."
"Yes, you are already engaged." Feng Xiaoxia suddenly said.
There seemed to be a thorn in these words, which made Cheng Xuyuan feel uncomfortable.
He glanced at Feng Xiaoxia and finally said, "It's not easy to meet the right person, and it's even harder to be together until the end."
"So, we should cherish the people in front of us!"
Feng Xiaoxia knew very well that the person Cheng Xuyuan was talking about was not herself.
And at this time, it is really not appropriate for me to discuss this with Cheng Xuyuan.
But for some reason, she still blurted out: "Cheng Xuyuan, the person in front of you now is me."
As she spoke, she looked straight at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't expect that Feng Xiaoxia would say such a thing just because he said a simple sentence. This made him feel helpless in his heart.
But at this moment, he could only respond by saying, "Xiaoxia, I think you didn't like to joke around before."
"It's only been a few days since we last met, and you already know you're making fun of me."
"Ha ha!"
Feng Xiaoxia did not laugh, and she felt that Cheng Xuyuan's words were not very funny.
After Cheng Xuyuan finished laughing, she said, "Cheng Xuyuan, I'm not kidding you."
"I know, it's a little late for me to say this."
"But I feel that if I don't say it this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it in the future."
"Before, I still admired you very much."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Feng Xiaoxia who was serious, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
He knew that he had to handle this matter today.
"Xiaoxia, I am really honored to be admired by you." Cheng Xuyuan said here, and solemnly said: "Speaking of which, I admire you very much as well."
"I think you are very good in both character and other aspects."
"I am very happy to meet you as a friend."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan, who was serious but deliberately changing the subject, Feng Xiaoxia sighed.
She knew that under the current circumstances, there was no need for her to continue to dwell on it.
Because if they continue to struggle, it will only make both of them look bad.
So she smiled and said, "I think you should be happier to meet Fang Yuqing."
Just when Cheng Xuyuan didn't know how to respond to this, Feng Xiaoxia suddenly said: "My family has always hoped that I could come back."
"Do you think I should come back?"
Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as we don't talk about emotional matters, we are all good friends.
He said solemnly: "Xiaoxia, when you arrive in Yanjing, you should be able to feel the difference between here and Yanjing."
"This gap is not just about material conditions, but also about many other aspects."
"Once you give up Yanjing and come back, it will have a great impact on your development."
At this point, he said solemnly: "I think you should stay in Yanjing, or go to another big city."
"Going back home will put you under a lot of restrictions."
"Of course, the advantage of returning to our hometown is that we don't have to suffer the pain of wandering."
"But I still hope you can consider it carefully."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's serious expression, Feng Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Thank you for your heartfelt words."
"When I get back, I'll tell my parents what you said and ask them not to find a blind date for me."
"When the time comes, I'll say you encouraged me to stay in the big city."
Looking at the smiling Feng Xiaoxia, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless.
He could imagine that Feng Chenggang, who wanted his daughter back so much, knew the consequences of what he said to Feng Xiaoxia, but this was much better than Feng Xiaoxia asking her who the person in front of her was.
"Okay, just tell Uncle Feng. If he still doesn't believe it, I'll go meet him and tell him about the future development trends."
Cheng Xuyuan said here with a touch of emotion: "I think Uncle Feng still hopes that you can get better and better."
"You are talking nonsense." Feng Xiaoxia said this, and suddenly hit Cheng Xuyuan and said, "My father doesn't want me to get better and better. Who wants me to get better and better?"
Cheng Xuyuan was helpless after being hit suddenly, but it was normal for Feng Xiaoxia to hit him like this. He actually suspected Feng Chenggang's feelings for his daughter, so it was actually normal for him to be hit like this.
However, just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to tell Feng Xiaoxia about his slip of the tongue, he suddenly looked up and saw two middle-aged women walking out of the alley opposite the slip.
One is his aunt Li Xiu'e.
As for the other one, although Cheng Xuyuan couldn't remember it very clearly, he still had some impression of it in his mind.
It seems that he is Feng Xiaoxia's relative.
The meeting between Feng Xiaoxia and I back then was thanks to both of them.
I was walking with Feng Xiaoxia, how did they happen to see me?
This is really hard to explain.
Just as he was struggling with the issue, Li Xiu'e also frowned. Although she felt that Cheng Xuyuan and Feng Xiaoxia were a very good match.
It's a pity that the two of them didn't succeed.
But Fang Yuqing is also a good person, especially now that the two of them are engaged.
If Cheng Xuyuan and Feng Xiaoxia continue to entangle, there will not be any good results.
Even...
"Aunt, Cheng Xuyuan and I are having a reunion with our college classmates." Feng Xiaoxia also felt her aunt's gaze, and after a slight hesitation, she spoke quickly.
"Go home. Your mother just asked why you haven't gone home yet?" Cheng Xuyuan looked at the familiar woman, who looked at him seriously and said.
She looked like she didn't want to talk to Cheng Xuyuan.
Although I felt a little wronged, this kind of thing would only make things worse.
So after hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan chose not to speak.
Feng Xiaoxia didn't say much at this time, but followed her aunt obediently.
After Feng Xiaoxia left, Cheng Xuyuan and Li Xiu'e walked towards Cheng Jiadong's house.
Li Xiu'e didn't say anything, but her brows were furrowed. Looking at her expression, Cheng Xuyuan had no idea what she was thinking.
So after hesitating for a while, Cheng Xuyuan said honestly: "Aunt, if I say, there is really nothing between Feng Xiaoxia and me."
"What you just saw was that I said something wrong and Feng Xiaoxia blamed me for saying it wrong."
"We are just friends."
Looking at the serious Cheng Xuyuan, Li Xiu'e said, "Xuyuan, of course I believe you."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan curled his lips helplessly and said, "If you believed me, you wouldn't say that."
But at this time, he was caught on the spot, so he could only lower his head.
"But you are engaged now." Li Xiu'e continued, "I know you college students have many ordinary friends between men and women."
"But I think that in our county, we still need to maintain the appropriate distance."
"It's fine if we see it, and we can explain it clearly, but if someone with ulterior motives sees it, it won't be good."
"Didn't your uncle always say that you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others?"
Hearing Li Xiu'e's teachings, Cheng Xuyuan could only honestly say: "Aunt, I understand. I will never be so casual in the future."
After saying this, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while.
Because it was Feng Xiaoxia who hit him just now, not him.
He has always kept a proper distance from Feng Xiaoxia. Why did it happen that he seemed to be in the wrong?
Oh, where can I find justice in this?
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was struggling, Li Xiu'e asked, "Xuyuan, when are you going to return to Yanjing?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I will leave in a few days, so I probably won't be home for the 15th."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's answer, a smile appeared on Li Xiu'e's face.
