Chapter 9 Unthinkable, Unforgettable

The flavor of the year is strong, Xia Xiran wanders in Changning Park, alone, not lonely.

The phone call in the morning made Xia Xiran's heart uneasy, and Cheng Siqi changed his old style and no longer talked to her. Although this is not a big deal, it also caused ripples in Xia Xiran's heart.

On this day, Xia Xiran didn't know how many family dog blood ethics dramas had been staged in his mind, and the whole person was like a wilted cabbage - boring.

The wind in Beicheng was as strong as ever, blowing across the face, leaving a slight tingling. Xia Xiran tightened his sleeves, walked around Changning Park, and went home after feeling bored.

Xia's mother was talking and laughing with her son in Xia Xiwen's room, Xia's father was reading in the study, Xia Xiran glanced through the crack in the door, and after knowing that his return did not affect them, he went back to the room alone.

There are a lot of photos of her and Cheng Siqi stored in the mobile phone, and these are her treasures.

Xia Xiran has to sort out the photos every year, classify the photos, and whenever he misses Cheng Siqi, he takes them out and looks at them, which is very convenient.

When the afterglow of the setting sun faded away, Xia Xiran's heart could no longer be calm. After dinner, she thought about video chatting with Cheng Siqi, and finally "hooked up" with Cheng Siqi at around eight o'clock.

"What's wrong with you, running so fast, ignoring me. ”

Xia Xiran asked aggrievedly.

Although she pondered for a day, she still didn't know how to tell him about the family.

Cheng Siqi immediately caught the confusion in Xia Xiran's heart, and lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

"I'm coming back to discuss something with my parents, so I'm in a bit of a hurry. Don't be too careful!"

The cold wind blew outside the window, Cheng Siqi sneezed, he hurriedly turned around and closed the doors and windows, he still couldn't get used to the clammy and cold in the south after all.

When I was a child, adults would buy some charcoal and come back to burn the brazier, and now they have replaced the heater with it. But even so, in a house without underfloor heating, the chill is still everywhere.

After Cheng Siqi returned from being a guest at Xia Xiran's home, these small differences were easily magnified several times in his heart.

"How can I not be careful! The way you look makes me feel so angry. Do you blame me for not mentioning my family background to you?"

The bed was too soft to support the mobile phone, and after thinking about it, Xia Xiran decided to lie on the desk and video with Cheng Siqi. She got out of bed with her mobile phone, and Cheng Siqi also took the opportunity to take a peek at Xia Xiran's boudoir.

Although he didn't see the whole room, gorgeous home decoration and exquisite ornaments abounded, and Cheng Siqi was stunned. He was stunned for a moment before he said slowly, "No, how could I blame you!" I was just a little surprised, and suddenly I felt a little pressure. ”

When Xia Xiran heard this, he looked back at his room, and the appearance of the Cheng family appeared in his mind again, and he suddenly regretted the video chat.

"These are all the wishes of my parents, and I can't refuse. But you don't have to worry about that, our future is still up to us. ”

Although Cheng Siqi understood this truth, he couldn't let go of it in his heart, so much so that he began to feel that he was not worthy of Xia Xiran.

He vaguely caught a glimpse of the Conan figure on Xia Xiran's desk, which was a gift he gave her for her eighteenth birthday. He clearly remembers that he bought it on Taobao, five figures with different shapes, less than 100 yuan, and also gave gift boxes and wrote greeting cards. He had been thinking about it for a while! Now that he thinks about it, what is it!

Xia Xiran saw Cheng Siqi sitting there, without saying a word, and chuckled in his heart.

"What's wrong? Don't speak, I'm so scared of you like this!"

Xia Xiran was holding the doll given to her by Cheng Siqi, and her palms were full of sweat. But what "woke up" Cheng Siqi was not Xia Xiran's words, but the doll in her hand.

"I, I have to work harder now, I can't let you suffer with me. ”

Cheng Siqi said as he spoke, his eyes moistened, and he felt more and more that he was aware of it. He should have seen these things a long time ago, but he ignored them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't say that. I was very happy when I was with you! Not only did I never suffer hardship, but on the contrary, I often ate meat!"

Xia Xiran just left his mouth, and the past came to mind. I remember when I was in college, Cheng Siqi often ate in the cafeteria and rarely went out. Later, she slowly found out that he was reluctant to go to the restaurant to eat, and felt that it was expensive.

That was also the first time Xia Xiran discovered the difference between her and Cheng Siqi. When she buys something, she rarely pays attention to the price, and prioritizes whether she likes it or not. When Cheng Siqi buys something, he must first look at the price, and then see if it is satisfactory.

But even so, Xia Xiran didn't think there was anything to praise or disparage. It's not worth saying that you can live as much as you earn. She is just stained with the light of her parents, which is why she looks glamorous.

Of course, if it happens, there must be traces.

The difference in consumption outlook also sounded the alarm in Xia Xiran's heart, which is not a point, but a level problem.

She once thought that if she couldn't change Cheng Siqi, then she would adapt to him. After a long period of hard work, I finally achieved a small victory when I graduated from college.

Xia Xiran was also glad to find that she did not lean towards either of the two extremes she thought before, which also made her quite satisfied.

She adapts to him and changes him at the same time.

Of course, this is also due to Xia Xiran's grasp of the key to the problem. She clearly found that Cheng Siqi was not destitute, but fell into a kind of consumption trap and was unwilling to come out.

He always wanted to save money, but he didn't have a specific purpose. Obviously the family is wealthy, but he is very frugal, even at the expense of reducing the quality of life.

In the end, all I got was the sense of accomplishment in my heart when I learned that I bought the same thing as others but "a few dollars cheaper", which made Xia Xiran feel that it was not worth it.

After the drastic "reform", these small flaws have long ceased to exist, and Cheng Siqi naturally ushered in the consumption upgrade within the scope of his bearing.

Usually, I take Xia Xiran out to go out to restaurants and shop when I have nothing to do, and I have a very comfortable life. Xia Xiran has already adapted, but Cheng Siqi has an unbalanced mentality.

"That's nothing, yesterday in that hotel, any dish was more expensive than I took you out for a meal!

The more Cheng Siqi spoke, the more excited he became, his whole body was shaking, and his face was red. Xia Xiran looked distressed.

"Actually, if it weren't for Aunt Gu and them, my parents wouldn't have made such a big show. Yesterday she also did it for others to see, not to add to the burden on your heart. Don't think crookedly. My mom didn't ......"

Xia Xiran really doesn't know how to express it, if he tears the hidden pain of the family at will, isn't that also belittling himself in disguise!
