After this meeting with Qi Dongsi, Liu Chen felt that many things had to be accelerated, the old man encountered setbacks in the process of dealing with himself, and he would inevitably be more cautious, and Dong Tianhua, who heard the wind and grass, might also change his plan to leave the mainland and return to Honggang, once he returned to the familiar venue, it would be even more difficult to deal with him, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to cross the border at that time.

After leaving Xiaoxiapo, Liu Chen saw that the time was almost up, ready to pick up Li Rongfei from school, he parked the car in advance under the tree opposite Jiangxia Middle School, this is his most frequent parking space, almost become his special parking space, he stood under the tree, smoking a cigarette while looking at the students and parents who came and went at the school gate, those parents were waiting for their children to come out, when they saw their children appear in front of the moment, the excitement and happiness were overflowing.

Liu Chen looked at the warm scene, and couldn't help but feel deeply, and suddenly, two familiar figures appeared at the gate of the school, which made Liu Chen's eyes moisten all of a sudden.

The two familiar backs, one is his elderly father, and the other is a gentle shadow by his father's side, that is Xiaomei's mother, Aunt Lin.

Are they here to pick up Xiaomei from school? Liu Chen muttered, his eyes followed the eyes of the two of them to look forward, and after a while, his sister's beautiful figure appeared, with a smile on her face, and the moment she saw her parents, she ran over happily and threw herself into her mother's arms, while her father stroked Xiaomei's hair and smiled kindly.

Liu Chen couldn't hear what they were talking about, only saw them exchange a few words, and then turned around and left together. How much this scene touched Liu Chen's sensitive nerves, and he really wanted to come forward to recognize them, join them in the picture, and enjoy the strong sense of happiness between his family with them.

But Liu Chen never took a step, the moment they turned to leave, in the moment when Liu Chen's eyes were blurred, he saw Xiaomei looking in his direction, Liu Chen instinctively turned around, he was not ready for that moment to come, just like he had not yet accepted the eyes from his sister and the earnest eyes of his family, he turned around at this moment, so that he could greet his family and hug his family with a better mood.

But Liu Chen suddenly felt a kind of fear, he was afraid that one of his turns, just like the accidental car accident at the beginning, almost missed his family forever, and the family affection that he could not tell. He hurriedly turned around, but found that there was no longer his father and them at the school gate, only the unfamiliar faces, he rubbed his eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and even wondered if he had hallucinations just now, because he had never seen his father and Aunt Lin come to pick up Xiaomei from school in person.

After a while, Li Rongfei appeared at the school gate, and she saw Liu Chen's figure at a glance, waving at Liu Chen as she walked. Liu Chen retracted his thoughts and waved his hand at Li Rongfei, "Be careful when crossing the street." ”

Before Li Rongfei arrived, Liu Chen stepped forward to greet him, then bypassed the car and opened the co-pilot's door, let Li Rongfei sit in the car carefully, and then returned to his driver's seat to start the car.

"Where are we going back?" asked Li Rongfei as she fastened her seat belt.

Liu Chen pressed the start button of the car, "What do you say?

Li Rongfei bit her lip, rolled her eyes, and suddenly said in surprise: "Otherwise, let's go back to your father's side, Penghu Bay Community, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it just so happens that I don't have to prepare for class tonight." ”

Li Rongfei's proposal caught Liu Chen a little off guard, but it also helped him make a decision to a certain extent, so he asked, "Eh, by the way, have you seen Xiaomei?"

"I asked her when I first got out of class, I wanted to come back with her, and she said her parents would come to pick her up, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I just saw them, at the school gate, but they were gone in the blink of an eye, and I thought I was hallucinating. Liu Chen scratched his head and made sure that the scene he saw with his own eyes just now was not an illusion, but a real existence, and today Dad and Aunt Lin really came to pick up Xiaomei from school in person.

Li Rongfei saw that Liu Chen did not make his proposal clear, and confirmed again: "Then let's go to your father's side now?"

Liu Chen pouted: "Okay, then let's do it today." ”

Liu Chen didn't say much along the way, all he had in his mind was the scene of waiting to recognize his family for a while, whether he would be so excited that he cried as he was at the beginning, or he would cheer happily, but no matter what, it would be an unforgettable moment.

Liu Chen had a faint fear, he was afraid of seeing his father's gray hair, afraid of seeing the wrinkles at the corners of Aunt Lin's eyes, afraid of seeing Xiaomei's teary eyes, and the last thing he could bear to see was all the uncomfortable pictures related to his family. This is the same as all of us, after a long time outside, there will be such a mentality, which is not only impatient to see the family, but also has a kind of hesitation and hesitation of "being closer to home, and not daring to ask who comes".

Li Rongfei saw Liu Chen's ambivalence, she took the initiative to find a topic to distract Liu Chen's attention and pressure, she didn't want this gathering to be a persecution in Liu Chen's heart.

"Xiaomei took the first place in the grade test. Li Rongfei wanted to bring a little relief to the heavy atmosphere, so she found a happy topic.

Although Liu Chen knows his sister's strength, there will not be much suspense in taking the first place, but in connection with what has happened recently, Xiaomei's whole state is very poor, and she can still take the first place in the exam under such circumstances, and she must have made great efforts behind it.

"When she didn't take the first exam, I would be surprised, hehe. Liu Chen expressed a huge affirmation of his sister's strength, although he was very excited and happy in his heart, the emotions on his face were still very restrained.

Li Rongfei flipped through the memo on her mobile phone, suddenly turned her face and asked Liu Chen with a smile: "It's my birthday in a week, will you spend it with me then?"

It happened that there was a red light on the road ahead, Liu Chen stepped on the brakes and stopped, he turned his head to look back at Li Rongfei, looking at those eyes full of expectation, Liu Chen looked extremely shocked, he seemed to think of something.

"What are you talking about? It's your birthday in a week?" Liu Chen confirmed, because there were too many things during this time, and he was busy with cooperation with Qi Dongsi these days, and he suddenly forgot Li Rongfei's birthday.

Liu Chen's reaction was beyond Li Rongfei's imagination, and he was even a little disappointed, "You don't remember my birthday?"

"I ......" Liu Chen felt very ashamed, he really forgot, "I'm sorry, because this time is too busy, I didn't think about it for a while, but I will definitely accompany you to have an unforgettable birthday at that time." ”

With Liu Chen's words, the loss and disappointment in Li Rongfei's heart immediately disappeared, because she knew that Liu Chen's promise to herself would definitely come true, "It's okay, I know you're very busy during this time, I don't blame you." ”

Liu Chen seemed to have something to say, he frowned and calculated, patted the steering wheel, and said loudly: "By the way, I remember that Xiaomei's birthday is exactly a week different from yours, and it will be your birthday a week later, so today ...... It's her birthday!"

Li Rongfei didn't know how to express her surprise and loss again for a while, and after a pause, she smiled: "Eh, is it? She is a week away from me, and I haven't heard you talk about it." ”

"Yes, no wonder Dad and Aunt Lin came to pick her up in person today. Liu Chen finally understood why his father and Aunt Lin would appear at the school gate, today is Xiaomei's birthday.

Li Rongfei followed Liu Chen's words and proposed: "Then should we bring some gifts for Xiaomei and bring a birthday cake over, we can't go with empty hands." ”

Liu Chen nodded excitedly: "Well, then let's go to the cake shop now to buy a cake and buy her some gifts." ”

Li Rongfei temporarily put aside the little loss in her heart, recommended a better cake shop to Liu Chen, and went to buy a birthday cake for Xiaomei together.

Li Rongfei recommended the one that she had bought a cake for Xiaoyu's birthday before, because Li Rongfei was more familiar, and the boss had a good relationship with her, so she gave a great discount, basically selling it at cost price, but Liu Chen still spent a lot of money to buy a huge cake, not for anything else, just to be able to bring out her sister's incomparable beauty.

After buying the cake, Liu Chen and Li Rongfei went to the mall to buy gifts for Xiaomei again, they planned to buy some clothes, but they bought a lot last time, and with Xiaomei's economical quality, it is estimated that half of them were not worn, so they planned to buy her some jewelry and some extracurricular books.

Xiaomei has never worn any jewelry since she was a child, Li Rongfei is more experienced in this regard, a girl like Xiaomei with such good looks, she will not look too much in any jewelry, but considering that Xiaomei is still a student, too gorgeous jewelry does not meet her student identity, after thinking about it, she still chose an agate bracelet, this kind of bracelet looks inconspicuous, and there is no kind of jewelry, but people who really know the goods know its value, which is in line with Xiaomei's low-key and noble temperament.

Liu Chen chose the most expensive agate bracelet in the store and asked Li Rongfei to help pack it and put it away, Li Rongfei took it in his hand and said enviously: "It's so beautiful, you are really good to your sister." ”

As soon as Liu Chen heard it, he knew that this sentence was not only a kind of admiration, but also a hint, he smiled and took Li Rongfei's hand and said, "When you are your birthday, I will give you a better gift." ”

"Cut~~~" Li Rongfei looked very disgusted, but in fact, her heart blossomed, and she even looked disgusted with a sweet smile.

Then they went to the bookstore and bought a few extracurricular books for Xiaomei, which had nothing to do with studying, mainly some more relaxed and pleasant books, Liu Chen hoped that Xiaomei could say goodbye to the bad mood before.
