Chapter 546 Promise Me One Thing
In the evening, Cheng Xuyuan called Fang Yuqing at the Donghai Post Office.
It is very convenient for him to contact Fang Yuqing now, after all, Fang Yuqing has a phone at home.
The moment the call was connected, Cheng Xuyuan heard Fang Yuqing's voice coming from the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Although there was a crackling sound of electricity, Cheng Xuyuan still recognized Fang Yuqing's voice at once.
He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to Fang Yuqing on the other end of the phone, "I'm looking for Fang Yuqing."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's voice, the person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said with surprise and resentment: "Cheng Xuyuan, why are you calling now? I've been waiting for your call for several days."
Cheng Xuyuan couldn't explain that I was so busy these two days that I didn't have time to call you.
He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yesterday, Mr. Xie dragged me to watch the newly released Truman Show, and after the show, he dragged me out for a drink."
"I drank too much and just woke up today."
"You haven't fully recovered yet?"
Hearing that Cheng Xuyuan was drunk, Fang Yuqing didn't bother to complain about Cheng Xuyuan calling late, but asked with concern: "Have you eaten?"
"I'm telling you, you have to find something to eat with soup."
“It’s good for your stomach.”
Listening to Fang Yuqing's instructions, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm completely fine now."
"I woke up at noon and drank a bowl of old duck vermicelli soup. Now my stomach feels better."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Fang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
"From now on, if Director Xie has something to say, just tell him. Never drink with him."
"He's a man who never stops drinking."
"We don't drink as much as they do."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's instructions, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if Old Xie invites me to drink again in the future, I will definitely decline his offer."
After Fang Yuqing gave a few instructions, she asked, "When are you planning to leave the East China Sea?"
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment when he heard this question, and then said, "Director Xie's film is going to participate in the film festival, so he asked me to follow him to refine the details."
"So I have to stay in Donghai to help him for the next two days."
Fang Yuqing said: "It is your duty to help Director Xie, but you must know when to help."
"If you have any dispute with Director Xie, you don't have to twist your head and refuse to give in."
"Also, come back as soon as you can after helping."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's instructions, Cheng Xuyuan seemed to see Fang Yuqing standing beside him, looking full of concern.
For a moment, a trace of warmth rose in his heart.
"Fang Yuqing, can you promise me one thing?" Cheng Xuyuan suddenly asked.
"What's the matter?" Fang Yuqing asked with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I just want you to promise me one thing, but now, I haven't figured out what it is."
"Okay, as long as you can appear in front of me on my birthday, then I will agree to you." Fang Yuqing thought Cheng Xuyuan was teasing her, so she said with a smile.
In her opinion, this is all part of a love relationship.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll make it a promise."
Fang Yuqing didn't take Cheng Xuyuan's words too seriously. She smiled and said, "I always keep my word."
"But if you can't come, don't blame me for not keeping my word."
"Don't worry, I will never forget." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to continue speaking, he heard someone say, "Call quickly, we are waiting to use the phone."
"Young man, the phone call is for serious matters, not for you to waste time talking about love."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan said to Fang Yuqing on the other end of the phone: "Yuqing, let's not talk for now. Someone is in a hurry to use the phone."
Although Fang Yuqing felt a little reluctant, she still said, "Okay, you must take care of yourself in the East China Sea."
"If you have any problem in the East China Sea, tell me."
"My dad has a good friend in the East China Sea..."
After hanging up the phone and paying the bill, Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the post office, but all he was thinking about was his conversation with Fang Yuqing.
Thinking of Fang Yuqing's gentle voice and her concern for him, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little conflicted.
What I asked Fang Yuqing to agree to was a bit reckless.
I hope Fang Yuqing doesn't have any wild thoughts.
Back at the villa where Shen Yumo lived, Li Yufei was playing with Xiao Anan while Shen Yumo was cooking.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming back, Li Yufei said with a smile: "I thought you had gone back, but I didn't expect that you are still in the East China Sea."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that Li Yufei was always looking for trouble for him.
He didn't bother to pay attention to Li Yufei, he reached out and picked up little An An, then smiled and said, "An An, do you miss your dad?"
"Ahh!" In response to Cheng Xuyuan's question, little Anan waved his hands, but no one knew what he responded to.
But this is not a big problem for Cheng Xuyuan.
He smiled and said, "So An An missed his dad. Did An An have a good meal?"
Xiao An An waved his arms again.
Cheng Xuyuan continued, "Eat well, then little An An will be able to grow up quickly and go out to play with daddy."
…
Li Yufei looked at the father and son who were asking and answering each other, and sighed softly.
Now she didn't even have the heart to ridicule Cheng Xuyuan. She could only watch Cheng Xuyuan and Xiao Anan talking to each other quietly.
Shen Yumo quickly prepared dinner, and the three of them, along with little An An who could only watch, gathered around the table and started eating.
The dishes cooked by Shen Yumo tasted very good. Although they were just the simplest vegetables, Cheng Xuyuan still enjoyed them very much.
He put down his bowl and was about to pick up little An An who was in the stroller when he heard Shen Yumo say, "Xu Yuan, what do you think about what I told you?"
"I'm still thinking about it." Cheng Xuyuan said after a moment of hesitation.
Shen Yumo did not force him. She smiled and said, "Think about it carefully. There is no need to rush this matter."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and continued to pick up his son.
The peaceful life passed like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During these ten days, it seemed as if nothing had happened, yet it seemed as if everything existed.
On this day, when Cheng Xuyuan woke up again, Shen Yumo said to him: "Xuyuan, half of the summer vacation has passed, you don't have to stay here all the time."
"I think you should go back to the village, too."
"After all, uncle and aunt haven't seen you for half a year."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yumo who looked serious, hesitated for a moment and said: "Then go home and take a look and come back."
Shen Yumo said: "There's no rush to come back, just come every three or five days."
"An An and I need to get used to your absence, what do you think?"
Facing Shen Yumo's gaze, Cheng Xuyuan sighed and said, "Okay, I know what to do."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who turned and walked towards Xiao Anan, Shen Yumo sighed softly.
Just at this time, Li Yufei came over.
She said softly: "Sister, by doing this, you are pushing Cheng Xuyuan towards Fang Yuqing."
Shen Yumo glanced at Li Yufei and said, "I will handle my own affairs."
"If you have nothing to do, take the train back."
"Maybe I can help share some of the burden with our mother."
Li Yufei laughed and said, "I'd better stay with you. Your mom has your dad with her. You don't need me."
As she spoke, without waiting for Shen Yumo to continue, she slipped away.
Looking at Li Yufei's departing figure, Shen Yumo sighed.
Although she was willing to let Cheng Xuyuan stay, she didn't want to put Cheng Xuyuan in a dilemma because of her.
If Cheng Xuyuan stayed because he liked her, she would not back down.
However, Cheng Xuyuan stayed here because of the child. Although Shen Yumo was reluctant, he was unwilling to let Cheng Xuyuan stay like this.
A few days later, Cheng Xuyuan set out on his journey back to Chengjiazhuang.
This time, no one saw him off.
Shen Yumo had to take care of Xiao Anan, and although Li Yufei had time and seemed to want to give him a ride, she was directly rejected by Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't want Li Yufei to see him off.
Carrying his bag, Cheng Xuyuan came to the train station and boarded the train home.
The distance from Donghai to Cheng Xuyuan's hometown is not short. In order to ensure that he does not have a good rest, Cheng Xuyuan found Xie Jin and asked him to help arrange a sleeper berth.
For Cheng Xuyuan, he is not short of money now, so he will naturally not be stingy if the problem can be solved with money.
After packing his luggage, Cheng Xuyuan lay down in his seat.
Just then, someone else came over dragging luggage.
Cheng Xuyuan was unwilling to pay attention to such a situation.
After all, everyone was there and he didn't want to waste time.
But just as he closed his eyes leisurely, thinking about the situation when he said goodbye to Xiao An'an, he heard someone say in surprise: "Cheng...Cheng Xuyuan."
Hearing the pleasant voice, Cheng Xuyuan opened his eyes and saw Rong Bing sitting on the bunk opposite him.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan asked after a moment of surprise.
Rong Bing said: "Our factory arranged for me to go to Yanjing for work, what about you?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Go back to my hometown."
At this point, Cheng Xuyuan realized that his train ticket was bought by someone from the factory arranged by Director Xie, and Rong Bing's ticket should also have been bought by someone from the factory.
So, they sat together naturally.
However, Cheng Xuyuan did not give too much explanation. He simply greeted Rong Bing and then continued to close his eyes leisurely.
The train roared and the carriages moved slowly forward.
Cheng Xuyuan's mood at this moment became a little depressed.
After all, as the train moved north, the distance between him and Xiao An An began to grow farther and farther.
I hope Xiao An An won’t forget himself.
If I have the chance in a few days, I will come back.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking, Rong Bing's eyes fell on Cheng Xuyuan.
She wanted to chat with Cheng Xuyuan, but Cheng Xuyuan at this moment gave people a feeling that strangers should stay away from him.
This made her feel helpless.
Fortunately, the road is still long...
