…
He Chuan and Wen Rong had to rush back to continue filming and did not stay in Huanshi for long.
It's time for Xu Mengyao to return to City A.
I took a plane from Beijing and went to see Wenxia with Huang's mother's concerns.
When the little girl saw her, her eyes immediately turned red.
She pouted and shouted, "Second sister, I miss you so much."
Xu Mengyao pulled her into her arms and rubbed her back.
"Second sister misses you too," she said, pulling the person out of her arms and looking at her. "I was wondering why I was holding you so awkwardly. Have you grown taller? Are you planning to be a model?"
When it comes to the topic of growing taller, Wenxia feels somewhat pleased with himself, and his sadness fades by half.
"Our school's playground is huge. When I have nothing to do in the morning and evening, I like to run a few laps there. My trouser legs get shorter as I run. My aunt also said that she wants me to be her model in the future."
"Really? Then you have to think carefully. Being a model requires strict body management. You won't be able to eat this or that. Come on, while you can still eat and drink, I'll take you out for some fun today."
The two sisters walked around half of the capital, then went to a beauty salon and lay down for two hours before going to eat hungry.
"Second sister, the food in this restaurant is really delicious." Wenxia was very satisfied with the meal, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his head was shaking from side to side.
Xu Mengyao asked someone to order another serving of ice cream and pushed the tiramisu next to it to her.
"You need to change your habit of spinning ice cream crazily no matter whether you are happy or sad. Don't worry about getting a stomachache. Trying dessert can also make people feel good. By the way, tell me about you and Cheng Xin."
Hearing the name, Wenxia's face instantly drooped. His mouth was pouting, and the silver fork in his hand was poking at the dessert intermittently.
"From now on I am me and he is him. Nothing will happen again."
Xu Mengyao deliberately joked: "You said it so lightly, I'm afraid someone is hiding under the quilt crying at night?"
"Second sister~" Wenxia felt hurt and was very unhappy.
Xu Mengyao straightened her expression and said, "I heard that he got a job at the power plant. Is this what you two are talking about?"
"Yes and no," Wen Xia threw the silver fork in his hand and leaned back in the chair with his body exhausted.
"He failed the exam the first year and asked me to wait for him in Beijing. His mother didn't like us seeing each other, so I endured it for a month before calling him once, and he would hang up after just a few minutes."
"I finally made it to this year's college entrance exam. He said he was ready. But when I went home to look for him, I couldn't find him. Every time I went, his mother said he went to his grandmother's house. It wasn't until my eldest brother told me that he went to work at the power plant."
"So are you angry that he didn't get into college, or are you angry that he didn't see you?" Xu Mengyao asked.
"He was delayed this time because of illness. Even though he didn't pass the exam and couldn't go to Beijing, I don't blame him. He was sad and blamed himself and didn't dare to see me, which I can understand. But when I went to wait for him at the power plant gate, he just said that we were not the same kind of people and asked me not to contact him again in the future."
At this point, Wenxia became a little excited again, looked at her with a choked voice, and asked stubbornly:
"Second sister, how come we're not the same kind of people anymore? He and I have been desk mates since second grade, and just because I went to college? He even told me not to contact him anymore. Bah, why didn't I realize he was such a cruel person before?"
As she was scolded, the little girl broke down and started to cry.
Xu Mengyao sat over to help her calm down. After she calmed down a bit, she pointed at the unrecognizable dessert and said:
"Did you know that Tiramisu has a romantic name? It's called - Take Me Away."
Wenxia shook his head with red eyes.
"Everyone has beautiful aspirations and fantasies about love, but nothing in the world goes as planned. You and Cheng Xin have grown up under the watchful eyes of your two families over the years. Your childhood friendship is real, but your life paths did indeed diverge from the college entrance examination.
The promises he made to you when he first suffered a setback were certainly genuine, but sincerity is fleeting, and promises only have a fleeting shelf life. With repeated setbacks and misfortunes, it's inevitable that his pride will get the better of him, and he'll say hurtful things to you.
Xu Mengyao stroked her hair and continued:
"But the moment he made his choice, you two were no longer on the same page.
Heroes of letters, don't believe those infatuated love stories and the moth-to-flame plots in TV dramas.
Instead of waiting for someone to romantically appear and take you away, it's better to take control of your own direction and stride forward with your head held high. Those who share your passion will naturally follow your pace, and even better people are waiting for you up ahead. Do you understand?
Wenxia sniffed and nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.
"I was very sad when I was in Huanshi, but after school started, I had classes to attend and roommates to keep me company, so it's been much better. Yinliang even said he would come to Beijing to visit me soon. I want to make a lot of friends in the future, and it doesn't have to be Cheng Xin!"
Seeing her like this, Xu Mengyao felt relieved. The little girl was much more affectionate than she had imagined. It could be considered that she had parted ways with her childhood sweetheart, and her love had been nipped in the bud at the initial stage.
After the intimate talk, the two returned to their second grandfather's house carrying large and small shopping bags.
The TV in the living room was playing the most popular TV series. Second Grandma and He Ning were sitting together intimately, while Huang Shao was holding a fruit plate and feeding the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"Second Grandma, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt. My second sister is here!"
Wenxia shouted over, He Ning turned around in surprise, put down the wool in her hand and came forward, frightening Huang Shao so much that he hurried to support her.
"Slow down, slow down."
"Wenjuan, you're here!"
Looking at her bulging belly, Xu Mengyao was surprised and then delighted, and she touched her belly directly.
"I heard that you are pregnant, so I bought a lot of things for you. Looking at your belly, I think you are about to give birth. You are moving so fast!" After saying this, he looked at the two of them teasingly.
Huang Shao looked proud, but considering that there were other family members present, he scolded him without any deterrent effect: "How can you talk to your elders like that?"
Although He Ning's face flushed, she immediately defended him: "I was Wen Juan's good friend first, and then I married you. If you want to be the elder, then you can be one. Let's go, let's ignore this old pedant."
He Ning took the two sisters by the hand and led them to sit on the sofa.
Second Madam smiled and said, "You three girls just came over here. You were so pretty that I was dazzled. Are your sister-in-law and the children all right?"
"It's fine. An An is getting better every day. He's become so cute. Big brother said he'll be able to bring him to you guys for New Year's greetings next year."
Speaking of her little niece, Xu Mengyao also started praising her.
"That's fine, that's fine. It's just right for me to come and keep your sister company. But this niece is a few months older than you, so I don't know who to ask to give in from now on."
"Ah? Sister?"
"Yes, your sister." Second Grandma pointed at He Ning's belly and said with a smile: "I went to see it. Our long-awaited little girl is finally here."
"Wow! That's great!! Congratulations, Fourth Uncle!"
