Chapter Fifty-Eight: Is He Visiting?
Xiao Zhengke is about to leave Shanghai tomorrow afternoon, and he wants to see Xiao Xiao again today, and he knows that Xiao Xiao is playing on Nanjing East Road, so he hurried over.
He wanted to surprise Xiao Xiao, so he didn't tell her in advance.
He searched for her for a long time on Nanjing East Road and didn't see her, so he followed the flow of people to the Bund, and the people on the Bund Square during the Spring Festival were sparse and not very many, so he couldn't block his sight.
The cold wind was blowing in the square, Xiao Zhengke shrunk and wandered alone, he looked around, and finally saw Xiao Xiao.
He was about to walk over, but he saw a* beside her, and the two behaved very intimately.
At this time, Xiao Xiao was holding a string of sugar gourds in her hand, standing by the railing with Huang Haitao, her face was like a blooming white orchid, and a smile was written on her face, overflowing with satisfied pleasure.
Her clear eyes, like blue waves, are filled with a faint warmth, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth is as perfect as a crescent moon.
He had never seen her so happy, and the cuteness on her delicate face was a little seductive.
The man took her hand and stroked her cheek from time to time, and when Xiao Zhengke saw it, he turned around silently.
He knew that this surprise should not have happened, and he knew that the goodbye at this moment would be meaningless even if he said it.
He left without looking back.
Xiao Xiao licked the sweet sugar gourd, very happy, and suddenly she looked back and saw a familiar back, she looked at it for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" asked Huang Haitao.
"It's like I've seen an acquaintance, but it's not. Xiao Xiao looked dazed.
"Well, who is it?" asked Huang Haitao.
Xiao Zhengke's figure was drowned in the crowd, and even though she looked at it for a long time, she didn't find Xiao Zhengke.
"I guess I recognized the wrong person. ”
Xiao Xiao pondered, Xiao Zhengke must still be in the hospital at this time, his father is so sick, how can he have time to come to the Bund?
Xiao Xiao put away the idea of looking for him and walked around the square with Huang Haitao.
Xiao Zhengke returned to the hospital, sullen, Xiao's father saw his appearance and asked worriedly: "Son, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. Xiao Zhengke poured a cup of hot water and poured himself a sip.
"And said that it was okay, and his face was green like this. Father Xiao smiled kindly.
"Is my face green?" Xiao Zhengke asked.
"Well, the green one is ugly. Father Xiao replied.
Xiao Zhengke's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he stopped talking.
"Did you go to find that girl?" you quarreled?" asked Father Xiao.
"There was no quarrel. Xiao Zhengke's face was expressionless.
"What's going on?" Father Xiao said curiously.
"She was very happy with a man, and she hugged and hugged. Xiao Zhengke gritted his teeth a little when he said this.
"It seems that this girl is very popular!" Xiao's father sighed.
"Dad, I'll pack up my things, and my uncle will drive over tomorrow afternoon to pick us up. With that, Xiao Zhengke took out a bag from the drawer and loaded the things on the table into the bag one after another.
"Do you have something on your mind, can you go?" Father Xiao smiled.
"It's okay to go. Xiao Zhengke still had a green face.
"A lot of times what you see isn't necessarily true, and even if it's true, it doesn't necessarily last to the end. If you want something, you have to fight for it, so that you don't regret it in this life. ”
Father Xiao patted his chest and coughed lightly twice, "Back then, your mother had a baby kiss with someone else, if I hadn't insisted on staying by her side, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to hug the beauty." ”
"What? My mother has also ordered a baby kiss with someone else?" Xiao Zhengke was surprised.
"Yes, but that man has no relationship with your mother, and all the two families have postponed the marriage. ”
Xiao Zhengke was silent, he put down the bag in his hand, sat quietly on the edge of the bed for a few minutes, and said slowly: "I don't dare to be interested in her, I can't look down on her like that." ”
"Boy, if you are still hard-mouthed, aren't you afraid that you will never see her again after you go to the United States?"
Xiao Zhengke paused, a trace of displeasure swept over his face, in fact, he still didn't understand how he felt about Xiao Xiao.
My father was right, what if I never saw him again? Although he felt nothing, he always felt that there was something in his heart that he couldn't let go.
At that time, he had a panic in his heart that he had never felt before.
Xiao Xiao and Huang Haitao came to a Western restaurant, and they enjoyed the food there very happily.
"Tomorrow I'm going to the office to take care of some things. Huang Haitao buried his head and whispered.
"Do you have to go to work so early?" Xiao Xiao was very surprised.
"No, one of my clients is going to fly to the United States the day after tomorrow, and some materials will be sorted out for him tomorrow. ”
"Then your customer is also very dedicated, and he can't even pass the first month of the Spring Festival. ”
"This customer is an American, and there is no concept of Chinese New Year. ”
"Oh, no wonder. ”
"I won't be with you tomorrow, and I'll stay at home by myself. Huang Haitao gently stroked her head.
"Well, got it. Xiao Xiaoshi smiled very obediently, held up a small piece of steak with a fork, and handed it to Huang Haitao's mouth, "Senior, you eat mine, my steak is better than yours." ”
"Well, that's good!" Huang Haitao smiled happily.
When Xiao Xiao returned home in the evening, he saw his parents sitting on the sofa watching TV, so he said hello and returned to his bedroom.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao Xiao received a call from Xiao Zhengke.
"Are you home?" asked Xiao Zhengke.
"Well, at home. Xiao Xiao replied.
"My dad and I are going to leave Shanghai tomorrow afternoon, thank you very much for the food that Auntie brought us, and I have to thank Auntie in person. ”
"Don't be so polite, don't come and thank you. ”
"How can that work, it's definitely going to go. ”
"Not really. ”
"Don't you want to see me. Xiao Zhengke suddenly got a little angry.
"No, you're thinking too much, I mean you don't have to stay with your father in the hospital. ”
"My father's condition has stabilized, no major problems, and my uncle will come over tomorrow to accompany him, so I don't have to worry about it. ”
"Alright then, I'll tell my mother, and I'll open the door at noon tomorrow. ”
"Open the door to pick up customers? You talk like this, you probably only live one episode in the TV series. ”
"I'm sorry, I've lived a lot of episodes in real life. ”
"That's God favoring you, okay, don't be poor with you, I'll go over tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay. ”
"By the way, what do your parents like to eat? I'll bring some with you. ”
"I don't have to bring it, my family doesn't lack anything. ”
"It's not a question of lacking, it's a matter of etiquette. ”
Xiao Xiao hung up the phone and muttered to himself, "It's etiquette again, I really don't understand such a person's thoughts." ”
She came to the living room and sat down next to her mother, "Mom, a friend of mine will come over tomorrow morning, and I have to ask you to prepare a table of good food for me." ”
"Who?" asked Xiao Mu.
"It's the guy I visited in the hospital the other day. ”
"Oh, I know, don't worry, Mom will arrange it for you. Mother Xiao said kindly.
"Thank you, Mom. Xiao Xiao happily ran back to the bedroom.
At about eleven o'clock the next morning, Xiao Zhengke came to Xiao Xiao's house with a few gift boxes.
Xiao's father warmly received Xiao Zhengke when he saw him, Xiao's mother and Xiao Xiao were busy in the kitchen, they heard Xiao Zhengke come in, and immediately went to the living room to condole.
"Uncle and aunt, I am Xiao Xiao's friend, my name is Xiao Zhengke. ”
"Your surname is also Xiao, it seems that we are a family. Father Xiao was very happy when he heard this, and laughed.
"Dad, his surname is Xiao, that Xiao. Xiao Xiao interjected.
"Which Xiao?" asked Father Xiao.
"It's that Xiao, not our Xiao. Xiao Xiao said.
"What are you talking about, kid, why can't I understand?" Father Xiao frowned, his face dazed.
"Uncle, it's the portrait of Xiao, I don't have the same surname as yours. Xiao Zhengke explained clearly.
"Oh, it turned out to be that Xiao, haha, no matter what, our surname is Xiao is fate, sit down. Father Xiao motioned for Xiao Zhengke to sit down.
Xiao Zhengke sat on the sofa and saw a newspaper with financial news on the coffee table, he picked it up and looked at it, "Uncle, do you like to read newspapers in the financial industry?"
"Yes, especially on the fund side. Father Xiao said.
"Public or private funds?" Xiao Zhengke asked.
"You must understand that Shanghai's financial market is not very good now, and we must be cautious when doing small business. Father Xiao said seriously.
Xiao Zhengke smiled slightly and began to talk, he clearly analyzed the current situation of China's financial industry, and also took out several cases of foreign financial industry to tell Xiao's father.
Father Xiao's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent, he nodded from time to time and talked with Xiao Zhengke about the joy.
An hour later, Xiao's mother prepared a large table of dishes, each of which was full of color and taste, especially the bowl of whitebait and radish soup in the middle of the table, which was steaming and fragrant.
"It's time to eat. Xiao's mother shouted.
Xiao Zhengke followed Xiao's father to the restaurant and took his seat.
"Xiao Ke, try the dishes made by your aunt and see if it suits your appetite. Xiao's mother asked.
"Appetite, on the second day of junior high school, I ate the food you cooked, so I came to thank you today. The corners of Xiao Zhengke's mouth raised slightly.
"Oh, yes! I remembered. That day, I asked Xiao Xiao to bring some food for your father, is my father okay?" Xiao's mother smiled.
"Much better, I will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Xiao Zhengke said softly.
"That's good. "Xiao's mother is kind and amiable.
"Xiao Ke, are you working in a financial company now?" asked Father Xiao.
"I haven't officially joined the workforce yet, I studied finance as an undergraduate, and now I'm in graduate school in the United States, and I occasionally go to Wall Street with my American tutor to study, so I know a little bit about the financial industry abroad. Xiao Zhengke said unhurriedly.
"Which school is it for graduate school in the United States?" Father Xiao asked again.
"Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Xiao Zhengke replied.
"It's a coincidence, in a few months, we Xiao Xiao will also go there to study. Father Xiao smiled.
"It's such a coincidence that I never knew you were studying at MIT. Xiao Xiao looked surprised.
"You've never asked. The corners of Xiao Zhengke's mouth raised slightly.
