Chapter 158: A cousin destined for tragedy

It's a rare Saturday when he doesn't have to be a tutor, Xu Tingsheng was thinking about who to find for dinner after finishing his work, and by the way, he went to Hucheng's office in the evening to have a look. The phone rang, and the screen showed that the call was from the Xiang family.

"Is it possible that you still want a tutor for the evening?"

Xu Tingsheng hurriedly picked up the phone, and on the other end of the phone, it was Xiang's mother.

"Auntie, is it that Xiang Ning and I made a mistake, and we still want a tutor at night?" Xu Tingsheng hurriedly asked.

Xiang's mother smiled and said, "No, Xiao Ning is still rehearsing at school, and it will take a while for his father to pick her up." The two of us just want to ask you to come over to the house for a meal, thank you, Xiao Ning has made such a big progress in this midterm exam,...... Look, are you free?".

Xiang's mother said that she wanted to thank Xu Tingsheng, but hadn't she thanked her a long time ago? Xu Tingsheng also drank with Xiang's father that day.

That's my future mother-in-law.

"I'm free, Auntie, wait a while, I'll be right away. ”

Xu Tingsheng hung up the phone, changed his clothes and went out, and took a taxi directly to Xiang's house in a "luxurious" way. hurried all the way, until he entered the living room, Xu Tingsheng felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and there was still a person sitting in the living room, a girl who looked like a college student.

"Tingsheng, sit. Xiang's mother greeted warmly, "Let me introduce you, this is my cousin's daughter, my niece, that is, Xiao Ning's cousin, Li Meng." She's with you a college town ,......."

"Hello, my name is Xu Tingsheng. Hearing that it was a relative of the Xiang family, Xu Tingsheng politely said hello.

"Hello, I know you, my name is Li Meng. The girl said with a smile.

Xiang's mother stood next to her and looked at it, and said, "Then you can talk first, and I'll go cook." After speaking, Xiang's mother turned around and walked to the kitchen, walked to the door and turned around to greet him: "Xiao Ning Dad, why are you stunned, come to the kitchen to help me." ”

As soon as Xiang's father left, Xu Tingsheng's speculation in his heart was confirmed, and he wanted to cry without tears...... This is the meaning of the future parents-in-law who want to push themselves to other people's homes.

The girl in front of her, Xiang Ning's cousin, doesn't look too similar to Xiang Ning, after all, she is only the daughter of Xiang's mother's cousin, but on the whole, she should be considered a beauty.

The question is, what's the use of beauty, not to mention that it's just a beauty, no matter how beautiful it is, is it comparable to it?

"I wanted to soak other people's daughters, but I was kicked to my niece. Xu Tingsheng was in a heavy mood now and didn't want to speak.

However, this girl named Li Meng seems to be extroverted, enthusiastic and talkative, and took the initiative to talk to Xu Tingsheng.

"I'm a sophomore at the School of Science and Technology, and I've heard a lot about you lately. I came to my cousin's house to play today, and I realized that it was so coincidental that you happened to be the tutor of our Xiaoning, so I was fortunate to meet me for the first time, and I was honored and happy. Li Meng said politely.

"Thank you. Xu Tingsheng responded simply and politely, and stopped talking, if it weren't for Xiang's mother's arrangement, the person in front of him was a relative of the Xiang family, he really didn't want to speak.

However, there are actually a lot of words in his heart: "What is your family Xiang Ning, is that my family's good? What is a coincidence, when I look at Xiang's mother's attitude and expression, and deliberately asked me to come to the house for dinner, I know that this matter is not so ordinary, okay?...... I'm heavy right now, I'm not happy, I want to ,...... quietly"

Li Meng only thought Xu Tingsheng was embarrassed, and took the initiative to continue: "Everyone is very curious about you, and so am I." What do you like in addition to history and entrepreneurship?"

"I like your cousin. ”

Xu Tingsheng roared in his heart.

But when he really spoke, he could only say: "I don't really have any hobbies, they're all quite ordinary, and I don't really like anything special." After speaking, he still silently added in his heart: "Except for your cousin." ”

In the kitchen, Xiang's father carefully pulled Xiang's mother's apron and whispered, "Aren't you okay? Both children are still in college." ”

Xiang's mother glanced at Xiang's father, revealing a rare and strange expression: "What's this, now that high school students are in love, it's not early to go to college." Besides, my cousin has called, can I not help?".

If Xu Tingsheng heard this passage, he would probably be excited, it turns out that Xiang's mother is so open-minded, does that mean that when Xiang Ning goes to high school, he can start?

In fact, many people say that others are one thing, and doing it yourself is another.

Dad Xiang muttered for a while, saying that Tingsheng's child is indeed good, sensible, and capable,......

Xiang's mother took the words: "It's not, you didn't listen to what Li Meng just told us, Manxishan University Town, girls who like Tingsheng can come to our door." Therefore, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

Xu Tingsheng couldn't hear this, and when he heard it, he had to cry and rush to the ground: Auntie, don't you have a mouth field in your own family? Although it's still a little younger, I don't mind waiting!

In the living room, no matter how cold Xu Tingsheng was, at least he had to be polite. Therefore, Li Meng didn't stop, and she had almost finished telling her true hobbies and fake hobbies all the way.

"What books do you like to read, and which writer do you like?" asked Li Meng.

"I usually like to play games, I don't read much. Xu Tingsheng replied.

"Oh, I love Haruki Murakami, and I've been waiting to see him win the Nobel Prize for Literature. ”

……

"Do you like to watch movies, which actor do you like the most?" asked Li Meng.

"Notting Hill, Hugh Grant. Xu Tingsheng replied.

"After watching "Titanic", I especially like Leonardo DiCaprio, I think although he is a young student now, he is actually very good at acting, and he will definitely win the Oscar soon. ”

……

"I heard that you like football? I heard my classmates talk about the game between your school and our school. Li Meng asked.

"I like it. Xu Tingsheng replied.

"My dad is also very fond of football, I watch it once in a while and I like the Dutch team and I think they will win the World Cup next tournament. ”

Obviously, Li Meng doesn't really know much about football, and he is deliberately looking for a topic.

……

At this point in the conversation, even Xu Tingsheng was a little sympathetic to the cousin Xiang Ning in front of him - "Sister, you are doomed to tragedy." ”

Xu Tingsheng came back from 2015 and knew that in those years, Haruki Murakami failed to win the Nobel Prize in Literature again and again, Xiao Lizi failed to attack the Oscar for Best Actor again and again, and the Dutch team lost to the World Cup championship again and again,......

"It's so coincidental that they all make you like it and look forward to it...... Is this the ultimate reason for their suffering?"

"Come, let's eat first. ”

Zheng Chou didn't know how to continue the topic, Xiang's mother beckoned to eat, and Xu Tingsheng was relieved. After eating, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to go into the kitchen to help Xiang's mother, and it took more than an hour to come out.

Not long after he returned to the living room, Xiang's father took Xiang Ning back.

"Big ...... Teacher Xu. Xiao Xiang Ning shouted happily.

Xu Tingsheng was also very happy, because next, with the little girl chattering about her rehearsals and saying that the reincarnation band was going to participate in the school celebration performance, Xu Tingsheng finally didn't have to deal with Li Meng awkwardly.

It's a pity that after chatting for a while, Xiang Ning was called away by Xiang's mother with an excuse.

Taking advantage of no one, Xiang's mother secretly told Xiang Ning the reason why she invited Xu Tingsheng to her house today, which was to introduce him to your cousin and tell her not to make trouble. Suddenly, Xiao Xiang Ning had a feeling that she couldn't tell, anyway, she was unhappy.

Therefore, for the next time, Xiao Xiang Ning, who was supposed to be doing the problem alone in the study, would run out every few minutes.

"Teacher Xu, I won't do this question. ”

"Teacher Xu, why don't you write the dictation you said last time? ”

“……”

The fifteen-year-old girl didn't think too much about it, but she just knew that when she did this, when she kept interrupting the chat between her uncle and cousin, she was unhappy in her heart...... It's a lot better.

Xiang's mother secretly glared at Xiang Ning several times, but Xiang Ning stubbornly pretended not to see it.

Finally, when Xiang Ning asked another question, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to say: "I see that you basically don't understand this, so let's go to the study and I'll explain it to you completely." ”

"Uh-huh. Xiao Xiangning's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.

Xu Tingsheng was originally just Xiang Ning's tutor, and now he is concerned about Xiang Ning's study, Xiang's mother naturally has nothing to say, so she has to sit down and chat with Li Meng.

In the study, Xu Tingsheng and Xiang Ning didn't mention the things in the living room, didn't mention her cousin, and didn't mention Xiang's mother's obvious intentions, so they just talked and listened seriously.

At this moment, the inner thoughts of the two people are actually very similar.

Xiang Ning actually didn't know what her psychology was, and she didn't want to think about it, anyway, she was unhappy just now, but now she is happy. Xu Tingsheng was also not sure what kind of psychology Xiang Ning was, after all, she was still young, was she jealous, did she like it? Or was it just the possessiveness of a child, just like treating her favorite toy, afraid of being snatched away.

After class, Xu Tingsheng also arrived at the time to return to school, and Xiang's mother sent him out of the door.

Seeing that Xiang's mother wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Tingsheng took the initiative to say: "Auntie, that, in fact, I have someone I like." ”
