Chapter 229: Just classmates
Xiao Nan returned to the hall after making a call, and as soon as he lifted the cotton curtain, he ushered in the baptism of the eyes of the whole family, and even his father Cheng Weiguo, although his face was facing the wall-mounted TV on the wall, the corner of his eyes was clearly facing the door.
It's over...... Xiao Nan thought to himself, he knew that it would be good for Huzi's idiot to call, and he didn't know how many words it would take to explain this time......
entered the house hard, and Xiao Nan was pulled by her sister-in-law by her sleeve before she could reach her seat. "Xiao Nan, you tell your sister-in-law honestly, what does the boy who called just now have anything to do with you?"
Look at it, and that's exactly what it is......
"What does it matter, that guy is just a classmate of mine in college......" Xiao Nan said. She knows very well that the more she hides, the more she will appear to be cover-up, and the more she can arouse everyone's curiosity, it is better to tell the truth frankly and see what else they have to associate with.
"College classmates!" An An's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Xiao Nan's answer, and his mother Li Chunhua and brother Xiao Song on the side also widened their eyes and pricked up their ears.
"Well, yes. Xiao Nan deliberately put on a casual expression. "What's so strange?"
"Is he handsome, what is his personality, what kind of work does he do?" An An immediately asked a series of questions. "Is he interested in you?"
"Sister-in-lawββββββ" Xiao Nan shook her head helplessly and said, "Why don't you understand, he is my college classmate, do you know what it means?"
An An stared at Xiao Nan with a pair of big eyes and winked a few times: "You mean...... He's liked you since he was in college?"
Xiao Song, next to "poof......", squirted a sip of drink. "Wife, you are stupid, Cheng Lao Er was still a boy in college, and she has only been a girl for a few days!"
"Oh...... That's it, I forgot about this...... An An patted his head: "Look at my stupid brain...... In this way, that boy still doesn't know your true identity, right? Xiao Nan, sister-in-law has to say something about you, since you are worried that others will know about your past, then it's best not to think about classmates or anything, even if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a ......lifetime."
"He already knows. Xiao Nan almost laughed, and forced a smile to explain to her sister-in-law. "What!!" The whole family present was taken aback, and even Lao Cheng twisted his face to Xiao Nan's side. "You told him!...... you kid" An An was surprised and almost couldn't close his mouth: "How much does he know?" "All ......" Xiao Nan said: "Actually, he was the first person to know about my transformation, earlier than you know." "No!!" An An couldn't believe his ears: "Even so, he is willing to accept you?"
"Poofha......" Xiao Nan finally couldn't help laughing. "Sister-in-law, you are so cute! You can talk about falling in love with anything! People have a normal orientation, and it's good not to be a base!"
"What is a base?" Xiao Nan's mother, who had been listening to it for a long time, was confused, and finally couldn't help but interject. "You young people don't understand the Martian language of our generation......"
"Mom, engaging in base means that two men are together and engaging in homosexuality!" Komatsu explained for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
"Nonsense, you kid!" Xiao Nan's mother said to Xiao Nan seriously: "What is not a base, it's hard to hear." You're a girl now, not what you used to be! How do you count as gay when you're in a relationship with a boy? I think ......."
Xiao Nan is completely convinced this time, in fact, she also understands the thoughts of her relatives, her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law all hope that she can let go of her past, completely accept her current identity, live like an ordinary girl, fall in love, get married, and live a life in peace...... Because of this, they are so interested in their "love life" and talk nonsense about everything in love.
"Hey......" Xiao Nan sighed softly. "Mom, sister-in-law, will you listen to me?"
"Okay, you say ......" Several relatives closed their mouths and looked at Xiao Nan, and even Lao Cheng, who had never come in, couldn't help but prick up his ears and quietly turned off the volume of the TV.
"I know you care about me for my own good, I know! But can you think for me? Even if I can accept who I am now, that doesn't mean that I can forget my past and live my life like an ordinary girl. Because...... The tangible and qualitative body may be able to be changed, but ......" Xiao Nan pointed to his brain: "The formless and qualitative thinking habits are by no means something that can be completely changed in a short period of time...... It's impossible for me to accept falling in love and marrying like a girl now, and I don't know when I'll be able to accept it, so don't worry about me anymore, you're actually pulling out the seedlings and helping me to do it, you know? Please give me more time......
After Xiao Nan finished speaking, she looked around at several relatives around the round table, except for Lao Cheng, who pretended to be okay and stared at the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, everyone else was looking at her with big eyes and small eyes.
"That'...... You two ...... "It seems that An An still doesn't give up."
"Didn't I just say it all, college classmates, and my good friends and buddies. Xiao Nan shrugged: "That's it, please don't over-interpret this." β
"Oh......" Xiao Nan's mother and brother and sister-in-law replied in unison. However, looking at their eyes, it is obvious that there are many words in their hearts that have been forcibly choked back.
Give them a vaccination now, lest when Huzi comes tomorrow, it will cause all kinds of fantasies of this family...... Xiao Nan thought of this and specially added: "By the way, my friend will drive to me tomorrow afternoon, and we will go out to do something together." I don't think I'll be back until five or six o'clock in the afternoon......"
"Oh......" An An's reaction seemed to be half a beat slower, but soon, she tasted the unusual message from Xiao Nan's words, and almost jumped out of her chair excitedly: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!!"
"yes. Xiao Nan said unmoved. "What's wrong?"
"He's coming to you tomorrow, Valentine's Day!!Do you dare to say that you two are just classmates, friends, buddies? Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan, sister-in-law can't figure out whether you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid!" An An was so excited that she almost hugged Xiao Song beside her: "Hahaha, now my sister-in-law's lifelong event has finally come to an end!"
"Uh...... Is it good for people to have girlfriends......" Xiao Nan immediately poured a basin of cold water on An An: "I'm just that guy was pulled to be a light bulb, do you understand the light bulb?"
"Really?" Xiao Nan's mother and sister-in-law said in unison again, Xiao Nan nodded at them to confirm, and the three of them suddenly turned into deflated balls, each depressed.
"Okay, okay, let's go ahead and have a reunion dinner, don't think about those things that can't be beaten with eight poles!" Xiao Nan picked up the chopsticks to add wine to his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook dumplings......
After dinner, the family was still the same as in previous years, Xiao Nan and Xiao Song were responsible for cleaning up the leftovers and empty plates, Xiao Nan's mother and An An went to the kitchen to brush the dishes, Lao Cheng wiped the table and swept the floor, and the family was very busy. After all this was done, Xiao Nan went back to his room to use his mobile phone to surf the Internet because he didn't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and Xiao Song and An An also went back to the room they lived in before they moved out.
Although Y County has always had the tradition of Chinese New Year's Eve keeping the New Year, it is just that the habit of Lao Cheng's family to go to bed early and get up early is even more thunderous, and a Chinese New Year's Eve meal has been eaten from more than six o'clock in the afternoon to more than nine o'clock in the evening, plus these days are busy buying New Year's goods, cleaning and fried meat and fish, even Lao Cheng's two families feel a little sleepy, so they turned off the TV in the hall early and went back to the bedroom to rest.
The midnight of the Chinese New Year's Eve passed quietly, and the first day of the new year came in a continuous burst of firecrackers, but the small courtyard of the old Cheng family at this time was silent, and the whole family fell asleep early......
Early the next morning, Xiao Nan was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone, and she connected the phone in a daze, and immediately heard Xiao Ting's crisp and cheerful voice: "Lazy worm, wake up quickly!
Xiao Nan's drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and she sat up from the bed with a grunt. "Good morning...... Oh no, Happy New Year, Ting'er. As she spoke, she clipped her phone between her cheeks and shoulders, tucked her long, unkempt hair back with both hands, and pulled a rubber band from under the pillow to tie it into a ponytail.
"Xiao Nan, today is a special day, aren't you going to say something to me?" Xiao Ting said expectantly.
Of course, Xiao Nan understood what Xiao Ting meant. "Well, today is Valentine's Day, I remember, I love you, huh~"
"Hehe, I love you too~" Xiaoting smiled happily on the phone, but then, her mood fell again: "It's a pity that today is the New Year, and we can't be together, hey...... Today the two of us are the most pitiful couple in the world......"
"Don't be sad!" Xiao Nan comforted her: "Although we can't be together, no matter when and where, our hearts are together and will never be separated, have you forgotten?"
"Hmm...... When you say that, I feel so much better. I'm going to my grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings later, and in the afternoon I have to accompany my parents to all kinds of big people's homes to give gifts, and I am really annoyed to think of meeting a lot of strangers and saying a lot of empty polite words......"
"Businessman, it's not easy for your parents, so you can be considerate......" Xiao Nan persuaded. "By the way, I entrusted the Valentine's Day gift for you to Huzi before leaving, he will help me deliver it to you today, remember to keep your phone on!"
"Really!" Xiao Ting's mood immediately turned cloudy when she heard it: "What kind of gift is it?" "Keep it secret for the time being~" Xiao Nan said mysteriously: "I want to surprise you!"
"Well, okay then. I've got a gift for you, too, but I can't give it to you until you come back, hey...... I really hope you can come back soon......" Xiaoting said helplessly.
"Wow, there's a gift, great, why don't you give it to Huzi too, he will come to Y County to find me today, you give him the gift and let him give it to me." β
"He went to Y County to find you?" Xiao Ting was stunned for a moment, and her attitude became a little vigilant: "On this kind of day, why did he go so far to find you?"
"Hi...... Have you forgotten, I told you earlier, Fei'er and I are fellow countrymen, today is Valentine's Day, and on this day every year, Huzi will definitely take roses to see Fei'er's ......"
"What!" Xiaoting almost thought she had misheard: "But...... But I clearly remember that Fei'er and her...... Isn't it already ...... Passed away?"
