Chapter 317: The Hidden Kingdom and the Invisible Void
The wind and snow stopped and fell, but it wasn't much, Fang Ning and Cheng Xi held umbrellas and walked along Minjian Road.
Cheng Xi was going to Fang Ning's house for dinner in the evening, although it was not the first time to visit, but the gifts were still sufficient, Fang Ning said that it was not so troublesome, just buy some seasonal fruits, go to the fruit store, selected some navel oranges just came out, and the bus also arrived at the nearby platform.
The driver opened the door unhurriedly, rubbed his hands, and turned on the heating in the car, the car was shaky, perhaps because there were not many people, the car seemed empty, and the last few rows of seats sat two elderly people, napping.
It was rude to disturb other people's sleep and rest in winter, Fang Ning and Cheng Xi sat farther away, and the conversation was much quieter, controlled within the range that the two of them could hear.
Thinking of the scene of the conversation with Su Xiaoxiao before, Fang Ning still sighed with emotion, ordinary boys can make Su Xiaoxiao like him, it is already a blessing that I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated, and there are only a few people like Su Can who can make two equally amazing girls young.
Although Fang Ning is a small party, he can't really intervene in Su Can, Cheng Keshu, and Su Xiaoxiao, so he can only maneuver around on the side and remind him.
After all, it's one thing to say it, and it's another thing to do it.
Cheng Xi frowned and said, "Speaking of which, others don't hit the south wall and don't look back, Su Xiaoxiao breaks through the south wall and continues to walk, but she is an infatuated girl." ”
Fang Ning said, "This is also what distinguishes Su Xiaoxiao from other girls. ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Yes." ”
Because of Su Xiaoxiao, Fang Ning remembered Cheng Keshu again, but he had too little contact with her, and he usually only learned about this girl through Su Can, Liu Lei and others, and his understanding of her was also limited.
But then again, even if Su Xiaoxiao is such an excellent girl, when she mentions Cheng Keshu, she is still overshadowed, and she should know how good Cheng Keshu is.
They chatted with each other, and the bus had already arrived at the gate of the Moon-shaped Ridge Street, so they both got off the bus.
In Cheng Xi's eyes, Fang Ning's house has not changed much, the two-story villa covers a small area, but it looks exquisite, in summer there are violones and creepers around the fence, although there are no creepers in winter, there are also ivy, but they are covered by thick snow, indifferent and elegant.
Although Cheng Xi came as a guest this time, Fang Ning's elders did not treat her as a guest, Fang's mother pulled Cheng Xi to nag a few words, and took her into the kitchen to help, Fang Ning went in to take a look, and her mother and Cheng Xi got along well, so they put their minds at ease.
In addition to chicken, duck and fish, the dishes at dinner also fried two seasonal vegetables, and I was used to eating meat dishes, and when I came to eat green vegetables, I felt that it was extraordinarily fragrant, and Fang Ning couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.
Grandpa asked Fang Ning not to eat hard, and also served Cheng Xi vegetables, Fang Ning nodded, sandwiched some green vegetables and put them in Cheng Xi's bowl, Cheng Xi was polite and continued to eat.
Fang Ning's family still followed the old tradition, eating without saying a word, around the dining table with their own dishes, and after the meal, everyone sat around the sofa, Fang Wei brought tea on the coffee table, and grandma also brought some fruits to eat.
During the family's chat, Fang's father asked Cheng Xi's parents' physical condition and study questions, Cheng Xi answered decently, seemed well-behaved and sensible, Fang's father was satisfied, and his eyes naturally went up to a higher level.
As for Fang's mother, she is still much more cautious, her temperament is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, but she is a person with ideas, and she is filial to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
And because the Fang family inherited to her husband's generation, there were only two brothers and sisters, and when it was passed on to Fang Ning's generation, the sister-in-law could not have children, so she had to pass the youngest son to the sister-in-law's name, leaving only Fang Ning and Fang Wei brothers and sisters to support each other, Fang Wei will definitely marry out in the future, and the daughter who married out will spill out the water, most of the family's property has nothing to do with her, and only Fang Ning is left, so she is careful and cautious when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, she is a mother.
In her eyes, Cheng Xi, a girl, has a good family background, and her parents are not bad, and she and her son have grown up all the way, and they can also be said to be childhood sweethearts, but Fang's mother always feels that Cheng Xi in front of her seems to be well-behaved and quiet, but she is too indifferent, and there is an indifferent attitude around her, as if family affection, human affection, and sophistication have nothing to do with her.
Of course, this is not a shortcoming, people's character cannot be static, and when they enter the society, they will still change a lot.
Fang's mother thought about it here, and glanced at Cheng Xi a few more times, the visiting gaze made Cheng Xi frown slightly, and she also understood that she invited her to dinner this time, but she didn't have the idea of coming to see her future daughter-in-law in advance, thinking that she would enter the door of Fang's house in the future, she also tightened her mind, restrained her indifferent expression a little, and became more and more well-behaved.
Fang Ning, who is a son, doesn't know his mother's careful thoughts, and knows that she is for his own good, but he doesn't want Cheng Xi to be wronged, so he shook her hand, said a few words to the elders in the family, and pulled Cheng Xi into his room.
Cheng Xi entered Fang Ning's room, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him with disgust, "Why didn't you say it in advance, I wasn't prepared." ”
Fang Ning tugged at his ears and said embarrassedly, "It's hard for you to do." ”
"That's not what I'm talking about, if my future parents-in-law want to consider me, of course I'll do my best. Cheng Xi shook his head, and after speaking, he said, "If you had told me earlier, I would have been better in front of them, so that they would have felt that your vision was not so bad." ”
Fang Ning was stunned, but he didn't expect Cheng Xi to think about himself, and when he thought of the girl in his memory who was cold and didn't care about the whole world, he changed subtly, and his heart suddenly hurt, and he said softly, "Don't think about it so much, just live well." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, not knowing what Fang Ning was thinking, but he didn't say anything, put his head on Fang Ning's chest, and let him take him into his arms.
Fang Wei pushed open the door, leaned his head and looked at it for a while, seeing that the elder brother and Sister Xi were in love with me, he was immediately a little caught off guard, and the sound she made when she pushed the door was also heard by Cheng Xi, who immediately woke up, leaving Fang Ning with an embarrassed face.
"Go on, I'll come back later. Fang Wei blinked.
"What's the matter?" Fang Ning asked.
"Mom told you to go out for a walk too. Fang Wei raised his head and said.
Fang Ning and Cheng Xi glanced at each other and nodded to each other, "That's right, let's go for a walk and send you home by the way." ”
