Xiao Xiao's thin pink lips were almost pursed into a straight line, and he nodded.

At this time, Xiao's father woke up and called softly: "Son, who is this?"

"Dad, you're awake. Xiao Zhengke walked quickly to the bed and looked at his weak father, his eyes full of worry.

He lifted his father up and put a pillow on his back. Father Xiao was thin and haggard, with a weather-beaten face and two deep-set eyes, but they were deep and bright, and he looked very divine.

"Hello uncle, I'm Xiao Zhengke's younger sister, you're feeling better. Xiao Xiao politely greeted Xiao's father.

"Oh, please sit down," Xiao's father's voice was a little hoarse, "girl, thank you for coming to see me, please forgive me for being inattentive in the hospital." ”

"Uncle, you're polite, what's not to entertain, I'm an old acquaintance with Senior Xiao. The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly.

Xiao's father smiled, perhaps because he misunderstood her relationship with Xiao Zhengke, so he said, "Girl, my family Zhengke is a big grinning person, if he has anything wrong, just tell me, I will let him change it." ”

Xiao Xiao stared at the big eyes and was silent.

"Dad, how can you say that about your son, how can I say that he will also be a returnee elite in the future. Xiao Zhengke whispered in his father's ear, "I have many more advantages than her." ”

Although he was whispering, Xiao Xiao still heard it and immediately scolded back, "Xiao Zhengke, you are really narcissistic." ”

Father Xiao was amused by the conversation between the two of them, "You young people are just right, and you still have the strength to fight, unlike me, who are lying in the hospital during the New Year." ”

"Uncle, you can definitely recover, you must be in a good state of mind. Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Good boy, that's right!" Father Xiao looked at Xiao Xiao amiably, and seemed to like the girl in front of him very much.

"Dad, you're hungry, Xiao Xiao brought some food. Xiao Zhengke said.

"Yes, uncle, the food is made by my mother, you can taste it. Xiao Xiao answered.

"Okay, I didn't have a good New Year's dinner during the New Year. Father Xiao smiled.

Xiao Xiao looked around, "It's just right, you have a microwave oven here, I'll heat it up for you." ”

"Oh, good boy, thank you. Father Xiao's face was very peaceful.

Xiao Zhengke took out a small table from the cabinet and held it open in front of his father, and Xiao Xiao held the lunch box on the small table.

"The table is a bit small and can't fit six dishes. Xiao Xiao pouted.

"Girl, you are so caring, you brought me so many dishes. Father Xiao couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm bringing two servings. Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Zhengke, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Xiao's father glanced at Xiao Zhengke, he saw his son's joyful look, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, he probably saw his son's thoughts, so he took the opportunity to say, "Zhengke, quickly take the chopsticks and eat with me, don't live up to this girl's intentions." ”

"Okay. Xiao Zhengke picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.

Xiao Xiao sat on the side, chatting with their father and son, and they spent a wonderful noon together.

After they finished eating, Xiao Xiao took the lunch box to the water room and washed it clean, and when she returned to the door of the ward, she overheard the conversation between Xiao's father and Xiao Zhengke.

"Son, this girl is really good, cherish it. Father Xiao said earnestly.

"Dad, you're mistaken, she's just one of my alumnus. Xiao Zhengke is peeling an apple.

"Silly boy, do you think your dad and I can't see your thoughts, you see that other girls' eyes are unusual, they must have been thinking about others. ”

"Dad, I didn't. ”

"Hey, you kid, the authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear. ”

Xiao Xiao saw that they had stopped talking, and slowly walked into the ward, "Uncle, I washed the lunch box, how long did the doctor let you stay in Shanghai?"

"The doctor said that my condition had stabilized and that I would be discharged from the hospital after two more days of observation. ”

"Then I'll bring you food tomorrow. ”

"Girl, uncle, thank you, the canteen of the hospital is downstairs, it is very convenient for us to eat, don't bother you to run around, it is better for you to warm up at home on such a cold day." Father Xiao said unhurriedly.

"Yes, Xiao Xiao, the food in the canteen downstairs is also good, it's very convenient for me to go down and buy it. Xiao Zhengke stood there straight, his eyes blazing.

"That's good, then uncle, you have a good rest, I'll go back. Xiao Xiao said goodbye.

"Okay! Zhengke, go and send Xiao Xiao off. Father Xiao gave him a look.

"Got it, Dad. ”

Xiao Zhengke put on his coat and sent Xiao Xiao downstairs.

"You don't have to send it, go back quickly. Xiao Xiao looked at him, and there was a faint curvature on his lips.

"I didn't expect you to come to the hospital to see my father. Xiao Zhengke smiled.

"It should. The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth raised slightly, "By the way, when will you go back to the United States?"

"When my father is discharged from the hospital, I send him back, and it's time for me to go. ”

"It seems that your classes are quite tight, and the school starts so early. ”

"I went to the United States to work, so I had to go back early. ”

"Huh, so hard?" Xiao Xiao was surprised.

"Fool, it costs a lot of money to study abroad, my father is sick again, the family is struggling to pay expenses, I have to work hard to earn some living expenses. The smile on Xiao Zhengke's face was very bright, and there was no negative demeanor at all.

"Come on, look after you. Xiao Xiao's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, you too. ”

"Then I'll go, bye-bye!" Xiao Xiao looked at him and waved his hand, because he didn't look at the road, he accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground.

"Ahh

When she came back to her senses and found herself safely leaning on Xiao Zhengke's arm, suddenly her heart beat faster.

His right hand was clasped around her waist and he looked at her with affection. She leaned back, her whole body resting on his arms for support, and she stared blankly at him.

Suddenly, her heart overflowed with a feeling called sweetness, and the feeling of this embrace was so real, so safe.

He gently lifted her up and said softly, "Are you alright?" ”

"No, it's fine. Xiao Xiao spoke in a hurry.

"Walk carefully. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Xiao turned around, took a deep breath, and walked away quickly.

When she got on the subway, she turned on her phone and saw two missed calls.

She dialed back, "Senior, I'm sorry, my phone is silent, I didn't hear it just now." ”

"It's okay, what are you doing?" Huang Haitao's voice was very gentle.

"On the subway, on the way home, what did the senior do to me?"

"I was wondering if I might want to find a time to visit your parents. ”

"Yes! ”

"Then tomorrow, I'll go to the supermarket today to buy some gifts. ”

"Senior, you don't have to be so polite, just come over. ”

"How can that work, this is a courtesy!"

"Okay, you can arrange it. ”

"Good. ”

In the evening of the next day, Huang Haitao came to Xiao Xiao's house with a few gift boxes.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother knew that there were guests coming tonight, so they had already prepared a table of good dishes.

Father Xiao is a cultural person, and he talked with him very happily, and he was very satisfied to see Huang Haitao so eloquent.

Xiao's mother was also very enthusiastic and kept serving vegetables to Huang Haitao.

Xiao Xiao was relieved to see that they got along well.

"Xiao Tao, where are you from?" Xiao Mu suddenly asked.

"We should be fellow villagers, I am from Shijiazhuang. Huang Haitao said.

"What a coincidence, I remembered that you and Xiao Xiao were high school alumni. Xiao's mother smiled.

"Yes, we went to the same high school. Huang Haitao replied.

"Do your parents still live in Shijiazhuang?" asked Xiao's father.

"Yes, my father and mother stayed in Shijiazhuang. Huang Haitao replied.

"It's still good in our hometown, and we live comfortably, unlike Shanghai, where the pace of life is too fast. Father Xiao said.

"Yes, uncle, Shanghai is suitable for young people, not for the elderly. Huang Haitao replied.

"Xiao Tao, what do your parents do?" asked Xiao's mother.

"My father and mother are both teachers and teach in Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School. Huang Haitao replied unhurriedly.

"Wow, your parents are so good, Shijiazhuang No. 1 Middle School is a well-known good school in Hebei Province, and it's amazing that your parents can teach there. Xiao's mother raised her thumbs.

"Auntie has won the prize. The corners of Huang Haitao's mouth raised slightly.

"Xiao Tao, if you don't go home during the Spring Festival, your parents must be very worried!" said Xiao's father.

"Yes, they have to call me once a day, and when the Lantern Festival comes, I'll go home to see them. ”

"Well, you have to know how to be filial. Father Xiao said.

"Uncle is right. Huang Haitao replied.

"Okay, let's hurry up and eat, let's chat, the dishes are cold. Xiao Xiao interrupted their conversation.

"Yes, eat it quickly, while it's hot. Mother Xiao smiled.

After dinner, Xiao Xiao sent Huang Haitao downstairs, reluctantly.

"Go back, it's cold outside. Huang Haitao stroked her cheek.

"Well, then you should be safe on the road. Xiao Xiao looked at him affectionately.

"Good. After Huang Haitao left, Xiao Xiao returned home.

As soon as she entered the house, Xiao's mother began to nag, "Xiao Xiao, this Huang Haitao is good, his parents are teachers, and you can throw them to your mother-in-law when you have children in the future." ”

"Mom, why are you pulling so far, it's still early. Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed.

"You, it's a bit early, our Xiao Xiao is going to study abroad soon, she has been gone for two years, and it's not certain whether these two people can succeed. Father Xiao sat on the sofa with his eyes on and a newspaper.

"That's right! It depends on fate. Xiao's mother stopped nagging, returned to the kitchen, and continued to clean up the stove.

Xiao Xiao's face suddenly became bad, she sighed, sat on the sofa, and was silent for a long time.

If you go to the United States, it will be difficult to see him, so what can you do?

She went back to her bedroom and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, in a daze.

After a while, she fell asleep, probably because she woke up too early today, and she didn't make up for sleep at noon, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly she was awakened by a bright light, huh, where is this, why are she here?

A woman in a red pajama, holding red wine in her left hand and a wine glass in her right hand, she wore her long hair and twisted her thin waist, and came to a man's bed.
