Chapter 20: Not Necessarily Hoped
When Xia Qixi dragged his tired body to the door, he only heard a noise and laughter in the house. I thought it was my parents watching some entertainment and was about to open the door, but I found that I forgot to bring the key again.
She just relied on her parents to be by her side now, so she dared to be so presumptuous for a few days. But such good days are coming to an end in a blink of an eye.
Xia Qixi raised his hand and knocked on the door, probably because the laughter in the house was too loud, masking the sound of knocking. Xia Qixi knocked a few more times before he faintly heard footsteps from inside the house.
Soon, the door opened. A beam of light in the house shone through the crack in the door on Xia Qixi's body. This sudden bright light made her unable to open her eyes slightly, and her vision became a little blurry.
After her eyes adjusted to the light and warmth, she could see the person standing in front of her.
It was none other than Chen Ziyu, who hadn't seen her for many days. Xia Qixi's first reaction was to blurt out the sentence "Why are you here".
Xia Qixi didn't see Chen Ziyu's car downstairs, and he didn't discuss it with her in advance, so he suddenly appeared at her house.
Chen Ziyu moved his body slightly, gave up a position on one side and let Xia Qixi enter the house, looked at her surprised expression and replied casually, "I'm here to see my uncle and aunt." ”
Xia Qixi entered the living room and saw such a scene. His parents were sitting on the couch, the TV was on, the coffee table was piled up with all kinds of fruit and pastries, and there were a lot of nutritious products on the floor. You don't need to ask to know that these things must have been bought by Chen Ziyu.
"You know that you are busy with work one day, or Xiao Chen, knowing that we are going back to our hometown, today I came over to accompany us all day, and took us to buy a lot of gifts to bring back to our hometown to relatives and friends, and you don't say thank you. Xia's mother deliberately reminded her daughter to pay attention to her own attitude and not to put on a reluctant face as soon as she entered the door.
It is said that the daughter who got married spilled the water, she hasn't married yet, her parents are like this, if she really gets married in the future, it will be unimaginable, so the idea of not being able to get married easily is more firm in her heart.
However, it was precisely because of her mother's remarks that Xia Qixi suddenly remembered an important matter. Suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry.
She helped her parents buy tomorrow's tickets, and she was ready to ask Lin Qiao for leave this afternoon, but Lin Qiao's accident occurred in the middle, so the whole afternoon was involved in this matter and work, and her consciousness naturally left the matter of asking for leave behind.
And even if she hadn't forgotten, if it was better to say it before the matter of that email, the big deal would be to be blamed by Lin Qiao again, but as soon as that incident came out, how could she dare to go to Lin Qiao to ask for leave, and Lin Qiao would not be in the mood to listen to her.
However, what should I do now, her parents will be in the car tomorrow morning and afternoon, will she, as a daughter, really have to look at her elderly parents and go to the airport with a large bag by herself, it is really her unfilial piety.
To say that the parents who know their children best must be their parents, Father Xia looked at his daughter who was distressed at the moment and asked, "Why, did you forget about asking for leave to send us?"
Xia Qixi could only smile embarrassedly, "I'm too busy today, but it's okay, I'll call the leader now to ask for leave." ”
In order to make up for his mistakes, Xia Qixi didn't care about whether he would be scolded very badly when he called Lin Qiao at this time, so he took out the phone directly from his bag and dialed Lin Qiao's number.
She waited anxiously, and after 2 seconds, all she could hear was "Sorry, the phone you made is off." ”
Chen Ziyu was still standing by Xia Qixi's side, so he heard the content on the phone clearly, and decisively stretched out his hand to pull Xia Qixi to the chair next to Xia's mother and sat down.
"You've been so busy with work lately, don't worry about this, isn't there still me, I'll drive over early tomorrow to ensure that my uncle and aunt will be delivered to the station safely, you can rest assured." Chen Ziyu stood behind Xia Qixi, afraid of her shoulders.
Xia Qixi knew that Chen Ziyu was comforting her by saying this, and didn't want her to blame herself too much for this matter, but how could she not be sad as a child.
Xia's mother didn't shirk it, and when she heard Chen Ziyu offer to send them to the station, she was even happier than her own daughter.
Father Xia secretly squeezed his eyes at his daughter and told him not to be sad about this matter.
Chen Ziyu has always been good at words, and he made the Xia family's parents very happy, Xia Qixi took off her professional clothes and changed into a set of light home clothes, and sat at the dining table on the side while eating the food left for her, while enjoying this happy scene.
In fact, about loneliness, Xia Qixi really grew up and gradually understood, when she was a child, she always asked her parents to put all the care and attention on herself, and no one other than herself was allowed.
I thought that this was happiness.
Later, when I grew up, I began to envy those who have brothers and sisters around me, and one person can go crazy with you at any time, but she can't find a partner even if she quarrels.
Especially the girls who have brothers around them, that's the real princess, no matter what, there is a brother who can support her.
At this moment, Xia Qixi couldn't help but think about how good Chen Ziyu would be if she was her brother, even if she had an occasional bad temper and occasional bickering, she felt that it was a happy and happy thing.
It's a pity that she's not.
Good times are always short, in the blink of an eye, it is late at night, Chen Ziyu got up to say goodbye, this time there was no need for Xia's mother to worry about it, Xia Qixi offered to send him downstairs, Chen Ziyu was quite surprised, but he also accepted it happily.
The road in the community where Xia Qixi lives is very narrow, and the only parking space has long been bought by the owner, Chen Ziyu drove around the downstairs of Xia Qixi's house for a few laps and there was no parking space, so he could only park the car in an alley outside the community, which is why Xia Qixi didn't see his car when he came back.
Xia Qixi heard Chen Ziyu say that the car was parked outside the community, he didn't think about it, he raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the community, but was pulled back by Chen Ziyu behind him, and he almost fell into his arms, but fortunately he stopped his feet in time and barely stabilized his center of gravity.
"What's wrong?" Xia Qixi asked Chen Ziyu.
"It's so late, don't send it, go back quickly. Chen Ziyu said and let go of the hand that was holding her arm.
In the past, every time they were either awkward or deliberately bickering, it is rare that the two of them are calm today.
Hearing him say this, Xia Qixi no longer insisted. Chen Ziyu told her to go upstairs and go to bed early, and walked towards the outside of the community.
"Wait a minute. Xia Qixi suddenly spoke.
Chen Ziyu turned around.
"Thank you so much today, my parents are very happy. Xia Qixi hesitated again and again before daring to tell him this word of thanks.
"Yes, let's get up there. Chen Ziyu's tone was rare gentle.
Under the cover of the night, there was a satisfied smile on the corner of Chen Ziyu's mouth.
Chen Ziyu's back disappeared completely, Xia Qixi turned around and was about to go upstairs, her fingers inadvertently touched the mobile phone she put in her clothes pocket, and she still didn't give up, and decided to try it after making a call from Lin Qiao.
As a result, once again disappointed.
But Xia Qixi remembered another person, weighed it again and again, and still found Jiang Yan's name from the address book and pressed the dial button.
Jiang Yan quickly answered the phone, and Xia Qixi briefly explained to him what happened, including Lin Qiao's phone turned off, so he was forced to call him directly.
She originally just wanted to take a leave of absence for 2 hours, but she didn't expect Jiang Yan to be generous, and after listening to her, she directly granted a morning of time.
Hanging up the phone, Xia Qixi thought about it, and still sent a message to Lin Qiao, giving a brief explanation of the reason why he wanted Jiang Yan to ask for leave.
No matter which direction things will develop in the future, at the moment, Lin Qiao is still her direct subordinate, and she is now a cross-level leave, but this is also a helpless move, so it is still necessary to report to Lin Qiao, although the mobile phone is turned off, as long as it is turned on tomorrow, she will inevitably see her information.
After this thing was done, Xia Qixi only felt a burst of sleepiness instantly conquering her whole body, and a gust of wind made her shiver.
Xia Qixi quickly turned around and went upstairs, and when she got home, she told her parents that she had taken leave, although her father was happy, he didn't forget to remind her not to be reluctant. helped his parents prepare their luggage and gifts to bring, and listened to Xia's mother nag a lot of words, and there was only one central figure in those words, that is, Chen Ziyu.
In the face of her mother's nagging, Xia Qixi and Xia's father have never dared to refute, so they can only listen obediently on the side, and Xia Qixi has already been angry, even so, Xia's mother did not let her go easily, until the early hours of the morning, Xia Qixi was released and returned to her bedroom.
I didn't even bother to change my clothes, so I fell asleep and dreamless all night until dawn.
To be exact, Xia Qixi was woken up by a knock on the door, she never expected Chen Ziyu to appear at her door so early, so that she didn't have time to tell him that she had asked for leave, now that the person has appeared, how embarrassed Xia Qixi is to kick people out.
Chen Ziyu watched Xia's mother pull the sleepy-eyed, messy Xia Qixi out of the bedroom, and couldn't help but snicker, Xia Qixi was really the woman he had ever seen who didn't pay attention to appearance.
Chen Ziyu not only arrived early, but even prepared breakfast, and even seemed to have guessed in advance that Xia Qixi would also be there, and breakfast was obviously bought for 4 people.
After a simple breakfast, everything was packed up, Chen Ziyu was responsible for carrying the luggage, and the group rushed downstairs to the station noisily.
