go home
Xu Xi originally wanted to call Chen Shuning, but then she thought again. Chen Shuning didn't call her, so it must be inconvenient for him to call. If she called him rashly, it would be bad to disturb him. For various reasons, Xu Xi just sent a message.
She sat in the car and waited for a while, but still didn't receive a reply. Then the car in front drove away. Xu Xi saw it and hurriedly started her car and chased after it.
However, Xu Xi only chased for a while before the car left her behind and disappeared. A few minutes later, Xu Xi received a text message from Chen Shuning.
Chen Shuning told her: "I'm going home, you don't have to come to pick me up. I'll call you later. Remember to eat well."
Xu Xi pulled over to the side of the road, her phone in hand, her eyes fixed on the screen. She quietly read the words. It turned out she was going home, so she wouldn't have to worry so much, but why did she still feel a little uneasy?
She silently raised her head, looking in the direction where the car Chen Shuning had just gotten into had disappeared. It seemed as if she could do nothing but feel uneasy. It was then that Xu Xi realized she didn't seem to know much about Chen Shuning. She didn't know where Chen Shuning lived, or who she was. However, it seemed like she was not far from knowing all these things.
Xu Xi sighed silently, started the car and drove back.
Xu Xi originally planned to go shopping for groceries with Chen Shuning after get off work, and then cook together. Now that she is home, she doesn’t know how to cook, but she still has to eat.
So Xu Xi drove, bought a few pounds of fruit, and returned to her parents' home.
When entering the house, Mother Xu looked at Xu Xi with a frown, seeming a little surprised.
"Why did you come back so suddenly? Have you eaten?"
Xu Xi blinked in surprise. Was it so sudden? "No, I came back to eat."
At this time, Mr. Xu just came out of the kitchen with two bowls of rice. He was also surprised when he heard Xu Xi's words. "Did you come back specially to eat?"
"Yeah." Xu Xi changed her shoes at the entrance and walked into the house, looking towards the dining table. Tonight, there were braised spare ribs. Xu Xi's eyes were instantly filled with longing for delicious food. She walked into the kitchen and took a bowl to fill herself with rice. When she reached the dining table, she noticed that her parents were staring at her, and there was something wrong with their eyes.
Xu Xi blinked and asked casually in a calm tone, "What's wrong? Can't I come back for dinner?"
She admitted that she seldom came home for dinner and seldom went home to visit them, but she didn't look at her like that. They both looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mother Xu cleared her throat at this time, looked at Xu Xi, and asked softly, "Aren't you in a relationship? Aren't you having dinner with your partner? Why did you come back so suddenly? Did they have a fight?"
According to the older generation's thinking, if someone just started dating, they would definitely eat with their partner. Even if they didn't eat out, if they came home to eat, they would definitely bring their partner back to eat together. If someone who usually didn't go home for dinner suddenly came home to eat alone after falling in love, it seemed that they probably had an argument and were feeling depressed. Mother Xu guessed silently in her heart and waited quietly for Xu Xi's answer.
What kind of problem is this?
Xu Xi frowned. When did going home for dinner become a quarrel with her partner? She couldn't understand this logic, but she still replied calmly:
"No."
Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine if there is none."
"Then you said last time that you would bring that girl named Shuning back for us to see. When will you bring her back for us to see?"
Xu Xi paused as she reached for the ribs. She hadn't mentioned it yet, and she'd forgotten about it. She'd wanted to tell Chen Shuning she wanted to take her home, so she could be prepared, but she'd forgotten. She picked up the ribs, put them in her bowl, and took two bites.
Xu Xi: "Are you really mentally prepared?"
Mother Xu said seriously, "Of course."
At this moment, Xu Xi's mind flashed back to the scene when she went to pick up Chen Shuning from work and saw Chen Shuning getting in the car. Her own parents were mentally prepared, but what about Chen Shuning? And then there was Chen Shuning's parents. She wondered if they would change their minds and whether they could accept it.
The last time I heard Chen Shuning say that her parents didn't accept her liking girls, so she moved out. This time when I go back, I don't know what will happen. The uneasiness in my heart hasn't completely subsided yet.
Xu Xi feigned composure as she gnawed on the ribs and casually replied, "In a couple of days. We're all very busy right now. I'm house hunting right now. I told you last time I want to buy a new house. Shu Ning just got a job and is also very busy. When she's free in a couple of days, I'll bring her back to see you."
Mother Xu looked at Xu Xi, unable to describe her feelings. She just repeated what she had said before:
"When you decide what time you'll be back together, remember to tell us in advance."
After saying that, Mother Xu thought about it for a moment, and finally asked the question that worried her: "So you two are in a relationship now, do her family know that she likes girls?"
Hearing this question, Xu Xi froze while chewing on the ribs. She hadn't expected her mother to ask such a question. This was also a rather serious question. She didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a short silence, she raised her eyes and said simply, "Yeah. I know."
Chen Shuning's parents knew about it, but they couldn't quite accept such a relationship. Xu Xi felt there was no need to tell her own parents about this. This was something she and Chen Shuning had to deal with, and she would do her best to make sure everyone accepted it.
After a few simple questions and answers, Xu Xi was full. She took the initiative to wash the dishes, took the fruits she bought, washed and cut them, and then sat on the sofa with her parents to chat.
However, they didn't talk for long, because Xu Xi was still feeling uneasy. She kept thinking about the scene of Chen Shuning getting on the car, and then she thought about the last time Chen Shuning's sister came over and had such a firm warning attitude, so she couldn't stay here and wait any longer.
She came out from her parents' house and got back in the car, but she didn't want to go back to her small rental house. Xu Xi finally drove to Chen Shuning's apartment.
She tried to open the door using her birthday, and it actually opened.
But it was deserted inside.
Xu Xi changed her shoes and walked in. She sat quietly on the sofa, leaning back against it and looking up at the ceiling. Actually, at this moment, Xu Xi should have been in her small rental apartment drawing blueprints. However, Xu Xi didn't have that mindset.
She didn't know why she came here to wait, just waiting quietly. She didn't know whether Chen Shuning would come back tonight, but she knew that if she waited here, she would definitely be able to see Chen Shuning first if he came back.
Then, Xu Xi waited and waited.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she started to feel sleepy and soon fell asleep.
When Xu Xi woke up, Chen Shuning picked her up from the sofa and prepared to take her to her room to sleep.
Xu Xi opened her eyes hazily, and when she saw that it was Chen Shuning, her head immediately stood up in shock.
She said sleepily, "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Chen Shuning held the person in his arms firmly, frowned and asked softly. "Why don't you go to bed?"
"..." Xu Xi's head was still a little dazed. She turned to look at the sofa, remembering that she had been sitting on it waiting for Chen Shuning to come back, and then she fell asleep. She blinked and moved slightly, only then she noticed that Chen Shuning was holding her in a princess hug. Xu Xi's cheeks instantly became hot, her heart was beating randomly and without rhythm, and she stuttered a little.
"You first, put me down."
Chen Shuning pursed her lips, put Xu Xi back on the sofa, and then sat next to her, but her hand was still holding Xu Xi's.
