Chapter 137: One Hundred and Fifty Meters and Courage
"Frosty, how is today?" Chen Chi was familiar with Xu Shuang's schedule, stayed up all afternoon, and couldn't wait to call.
"It went well." Xu Shuangchuan swallowed the cheese vigorously.
Chen Chi's ears are very sensitive: "What are you eating?" ”
"Cheese." Xu Shuang lowered his blood pressure and lowered his voice, "Snacks at the celebration." ”
Chen Chi sneered on the other end of the phone: "Hurry up and pack up and move over, I'll give you rice." ”
"I'll come when you're done." Xu Shuang smiled and said, she couldn't run to distract Chen Chi at this time. The two have already discussed that they will set off from Chen Chi to return to China, and they will have to pick up gifts for a few days before returning.
That being said, Xu Shuangchuan began to clean up the room at night, cleaned up the messy materials used when writing his thesis, and went downstairs with a pile of waste paper.
There are several garbage cans in the corner of the open space in front of the apartment building, and in front of the mushroom-shaped garbage can with two round holes on the very edge, someone is throwing glass bottles into it. There was a muffled thump, then another thump.
The night was dark, and Xu Shuangchuan approached only to find that the person was Matthews.
He was bending down to lift the cardboard box at his feet, straightened up and saw Xu Shuangxia, and greeted with a smile: "Hi." ”
"Hey." Xu Shuangchuan threw the waste paper into a special trash can.
Matthews held the cardboard box and politely waited for Xu Shuangchuan to finish throwing it away, and then he moved two steps to throw his waste paper. "Lots of garbage." He embarrassedly explained, "I'm tidying up." ”
"Me too." Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile.
"Xu, how was the defense in the afternoon?" On the way back, Matthews chatted.
"I passed, thank you." Her answers were always so regular.
"That's good."
One hundred and fifty meters.
From the trash can to the staircase and then to the door of their apartment, it was about a hundred and fifty meters away.
Xu Shuangchuan has never walked that long with Matthews. There was only one street lamp at the top of the staircase, which illuminated them half-brightly and half-brightly.
Xu Shuang lowered the interface and chatted: "Yes, I think it's much easier now." ”
"Me too." Matthews bowed, "It's hard to write a paper. His voice carried a hint of a playful smile: "I'm glad I don't have to write papers anymore." ”
In the dim night, Xu Shuang lowered her voice and smiled vaguely.
Matthews still went back with the cardboard box, probably he still had garbage to pack. He opened the door of the apartment and turned sideways to let Xu Shuang go in first.
Xu Shuang lowered his eyes, looked at his amber eyes, and smiled, "Thank you." ”
Sometimes, we don't know what moment each happened, and sometimes, we know it very well.
A week later, Xu Shuangchuan worked hard to finish the stored grain, put away the room, dragged a suitcase, and ran to Chen Chi.
Their itinerary needs to be changed slightly. Chen Chi could only go back for a month, and he took over the rest of the month, still helping the professor with the data collection of research topics.
"Frost, do you want to come back with me, or stay at home for a while longer?" Chen Chi asked thoughtfully.
Xu Shuang drank the yogurt in a sullen voice, thinking that she would return to China with Chen Chi for the first time, and go back to go through the marriage formalities, there must always be a look of marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and a dog, the two families each have half a month, although the time with her parents is a little shorter, but if she stays at home to eat and drink, let Chen Chi come back to work alone, it is very unreasonable.
"I'll come back with you." She finished her yogurt and said firmly.
"That's fine, I can rest assured on the road." Chen Chi smiled and leaned in and whispered, "If you live here in the next month, we will have a honeymoon." ”
Xu Shuangchuan turned his head to avoid his warm breath and smiled.
After the itinerary was set, Xu Shuangchuan called home first, and talked about the pick-up matter lively, she glanced at Chen Chi and said, "Dad, Mom, let me let Chen Chi also say a few words to you?" ”
The Xu family's parents glanced at each other on the other end of the phone, Xu Manting nodded at his wife, urging her to agree, Xuan Chunhua paused for a moment before saying, "Hmm." ”
Xu Shuangchuan happily handed the phone to Chen Chi.
"Uncle, aunt, I'm Chen Chi." Chen Chi said respectfully.
Xu Shuang studied Chen Chi's facial expression intently, snickering secretly, Chen Chi was nervous.
Xuan Chunhua carefully tasted the tone of the voice on the phone, but did not say a word. Xu Manting hurriedly continued: "Chen Chi, I am Shuangshuang's father, and I have heard Shuangshuang talk about you several times. ”
"Frost also often mentions you and Auntie to me." Chen Chi was quite polite, "In a few days, I will accompany Shuangshuang back, and then I will visit my uncle and aunt." You and Auntie rest assured, I will take care of Frost on the way. ”
Xu Manting looked at his wife, Xuan Chunhua didn't see it, and still didn't say anything.
"That's good, that's good. Xiao Chen, then you and Frost Pay attention to safety on the road, Frost will trouble you to take care of it. ”
Xuan Chunhua glared at her husband with horizontal eyes, thinking that he couldn't speak, what does this mean? My daughter is entrusted to Chen Chi?
"Uncle, don't worry, taking care of Frost is what I should do." Chen Chi said happily.
Xu Shuang snatched the phone and said in a coquettish voice: "Dad, Mom, what do you want?" Hurry up and say, I'll go buy it with Chen Chi. ”
Xuan Chunhua opened her mouth at this time: "Shuangshuang, don't use anything, your father and I are looking forward to your return, and you don't need to spend money indiscriminately." ”
"Yes, yes, Mom and Dad have worked hard, of course I have to bring you some small gifts." Xu Shuangchuan said with a smile.
"Poor mouth." Xuanchun was coaxed by her daughter to bloom.
Xu Shuangchuan put down his mobile phone and stared at Chen Chi with a cute expression: "I only asked you to say a short paragraph, didn't make you so anxious that you couldn't think of words, right?" ”
Chen Chi smiled and pulled Xu Shuang's cheeks, just now on the phone, the old man listened very kindly, but the mother-in-law didn't talk to him, he already knew in his heart that he could only get everything done by going back to get his mother-in-law, and he couldn't really let his blue-gray soft-shell crab steal the family's household registration book and elope with him.
The second phone call between the two reached Chen Chi's house.
Wang Cailian picked up the phone and was elated: "Chi'er, are you and Shuangshuang coming back?" I'll discuss something with you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"That's right, Mom thought you were at home for two months, so she wanted to wait until you came back to set a date for a treat, but you called last week and said that you could only come back for a month this time. This week I pondered and pondered, we have to set the wedding banquet in mid to late July, your father means that the time is tight, distant relatives will not be notified, what do I mean, the notice is still to be notified, the road is far away and we all understand, even if we come, we will not accept red envelopes, report a good news in the past, mainly to make relatives happy. Chi'er, what do you say? ”
"Mom, I've discussed it with Shuangshuang, we'll keep everything simple, get the certificate, and just invite my little aunt to have a meal."
"No, although your father and I are retired, these old colleagues in the factory still live nearby, and the few young men you played with when you were a child, although they have taken care of their own work in recent years, they have not lost their feelings, and they should also be invited." Wang Cailian insisted with great interest, "Chi'er, getting married is a big deal, how can you only invite your little aunt's family?" Mom will do it for you. ”
That night, Chen Chi hugged Xu Shuangchuan and asked softly, "Shuangshuang, do you think that we are married like this, very simple?" ”
Xu Shuangchuan was silent, feeling very guilty about Chen Chi, his family was already preparing to feast on the guests, Chen Chi's mother and father talked to her on the phone, "Frost, Frost", Chen Chi's mother repeatedly wanted to change the master bedroom they live in now to her and Chen Chi, and she must listen to her opinion to feel at ease. And at her house, she only said that she would let Chen Chi go home with her to talk, but Chen Chi did not urge or complain.
Chen Chi didn't hear Xu Shuangchuan's response for a long time, he could make sure that he was giving 100% true affection, but girls always want to have a perfect marriage ceremony, he did make Xu Shuangchuan regret in this regard, Chen Chi muttered: "Shuangshuang, if you don't dislike it, I will have courage." ”
"I don't dislike it." Xu Shuangchuan said clearly.
In the dark night, Chen Chi slowly hooked the corners of his lips and pressed them to Xu Shuang's forehead. After a while, I heard her say softly: "Don't blame my parents, they just can't bear me." ”
"I know, I know." Chen Chi replied softly.
In the middle of the night, when the most whispering was the case, the room with the curtains closed was quiet and dark, and only the whispering of two people could be heard in one corner.
"There are a lot of liars to girls now, and my parents will not be relieved to see you." After a while, the voice muttered softly, "I will definitely be relieved to see you." ”
The laughter sounded muffledly, seemed to vibrate from the chest, and seemed to be covered in the nest, and it took a while for a slightly clear voice to coax and lure pitifully: "Shuangshuang, then you teach me how to please your parents in the past two days." (To be continued.) )
