Chapter 125: A Deal Between Father and Son
Nangong Herod looked at his son who was immersed in the joy of love with some speechlessness, and it seemed that he was terminally ill.
He never thought of pouring cold water on Xuanmu, nor did he think about stopping him from falling in love**.
First love, although short, is a beautiful memory in life.
They are still too young, their minds are simple, and they are in the good old age, so why not let them enjoy it to the fullest.
After all, such good days will not last long, as they grow they will fight against reality, and with compromises, losses and choices, they will gradually mature and grow into another form.
Although Nangong Xilu let Xuanmu fall in love, he was not optimistic about this relationship in his heart, after all, the living environment and family background of the two were too different, and the reason why he didn't stop it was because he knew that these realities would become insurmountable barriers for the two sooner or later.
Breaking up is the inevitable end of two people, and there is really no need for others to be bad guys.
Subconsciously, Nangong Xilu felt that it was good for Xuanmu to talk about a love that was not big or small, after all, what excellent man did not experience a few women in his life.
It's just that, looking at Xuanmu looking like he couldn't extricate himself from the fall, Nangong Herod began to be a little worried, and only hoped that this girl wouldn't hurt him too much.
"After all that, Dad, do you give me a word?" Xuanmu got up and took off his sunglasses.
Dad didn't make a clear statement, indicating that he was still hesitating.
"The matter of you going to study abroad has been decided many years ago, and that is the obligation and responsibility that you must assume as a member of the Nangong family...... So you should know my reply. Nangong Herod looked stern and made a decision on this matter, and there was no room for negotiation.
Xuanmu sighed a little discouraged, as if he had been prepared, but he also had an alternative. Giving up so quickly is not his Nangong Xuanmu style.
"Can you fund Yanran?" Xuanmu asked.
"If I say no, I'm sure you'll think of something else......"
"That's right! It doesn't matter whose son I am, it's just...... I think it's better not to bother others if we can solve the problem between father and son, right? Dad! "Xuanmu has a hippie smile, and he looks cute and flattering.
"......" Nangong Herod was speechless.
"Dad, just help me once! It's true. She was exceptional. It will become a great tool in the future, and it is definitely worthy of your investment. "Genki began to work as a gummy.
"In that case, let's make a fair deal! Starting this summer. Every winter and summer vacation, I have to visit Master Jingchen. ”
In fact, every year, the Nangong family will sponsor some poor students to complete their studies, and those with excellent grades will also be arranged to study abroad, Xuanmu's request is really insignificant to Nangong Helu.
It's just that from this year onwards, Xuanmu doesn't have to go to the training camp anymore. Master Nangong wanted Xuanmu to continue to stay by Jingchen's side so that he could observe Xuanmu's life changes up close.
Genki to it in the depths of the high mountains. The temple in an almost primitive state is very resistant, it is even more terrifying than the training camp, and the days are like years, and it feels like doing wilderness survival training every day.
There is no internet, no electricity, no running water, no signal...... It's like a corner that God has accidentally abandoned. Every day, not only do you have to chop wood, carry water, and cook by yourself, but you also have to wash your own clothes, and even take a bath in the river to take an open-air bath.
What's worse is that. There was only one old monk there, and he wasn't chanting all day. is studying ancient books and talking to himself, the gods are chattering, there is not even a person to speak, and after a long time, he even doubts whether he will have aphasia.
The only entertainment is not to find ways to tease Master Jingchen, or to catch small animals in the forest, secretly take them to the outside of the temple to barbecue and eat, and then wipe the oil off his mouth and pretend to eat fasting and pray sincerely.
It's just a long night, and if he wants to stay there all summer vacation, it won't cost him his life, the key is that he can't see Yanran, and he can't even get through on the phone...... He wondered if he would go crazy with what she thought.
It's not just physical destruction, it's soul destruction!
"You can think about it, and if you think about it, you can sue me at any time." Nangong Herod got up to leave.
"Figured it out! Deal! A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse. Xuanmu stood up, a few centimeters taller than Nangong Xilu, with a determined look on his immature face.
For Yanran, it's worth it, who told him to like her so hopelessly.
The thought of being able to study abroad with Yanran in the future makes my heart feel happy, and no matter how much suffering he has, he can overcome the past.
The future life must be full of beauty, maybe ...... Maybe they'll be able to live together.
*******
When he returned to school in the afternoon, Xuanmu did not go directly to school, but asked the driver to stop at a luxury store.
When the manager of the store saw someone coming, he couldn't help but get nervous, subconsciously tidied up the corners of his clothes, hurriedly greeted him, and took Xuanmu to the special VIP room.
This luxury store is one of the industries of the Nangong family, Tian Xinyu likes the watches here, and Xuanmu occasionally accompanied his mother a few times.
Xuanmu sat in the ** white leather sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, handed a pen to the manager, and asked lightly: "Can it be repaired?" ”
The store manager took the pen with both hands respectfully, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a second, and he immediately returned to a respectful look and said: "The style of this nib is quite special, and it may need to be customized." ”
"How long."
"It usually takes a month, but I try to rush the Italian headquarters, and I expect it to be done within a week."
"Two days, two days at most." Xuan Mu Dao, he didn't even give a chance to refuse, and left without looking back.
The store manager held the pen and looked at the limousine that was walking away, frowning.
"Store manager, this pen must be very expensive!" The beautiful clerk looked embarrassed when he saw the store manager who had always been calm and calm, and the young man just now was so extravagant, even if he didn't ask, he knew that it must be a rich son from a famous businessman, and the things he used would naturally not be bad.
"Hey...... he really hasn't seen this thing, if it's expensive, it's easier to do, with his connections, he can definitely find accessories within two days, but this pen is too ...... It's so special.
He hadn't even seen it. I don't know if he is too lonely and unheard, or if this little young master is deliberately making things difficult for him.
If you really want to customize it by hand at the Italian headquarters, it will take more than three days no matter how fast it is.
"This pen...... I've seen it, my sister used it before, the school store, 25 yuan a piece. Another clerk took a closer look at the words he said, which instantly stunned everyone. His face was worse than dust.
**********
Final exams are coming up soon. Everyone is actively preparing for the war, and Yan Ran naturally does not dare to relax, and stays in the study room all day.
Xuanmu didn't bother her either. He sat across from her, holding his chin in his hands, reading his comic books, occasionally looking up intently at Yanran's slightly lowered cheeks.
The sun shone through the glass window, a faint glow on her. Her skin was already delicate and fair, but now it was as clear and crystal clear as a white porcelain doll. Her eyes drooped slightly, her slender and long eyelashes fluttered on her eyelids, and her distant eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was stumped by a question. The pencil in his hand spun rapidly, occasionally tapping the table, as if he was making a final thought.
Then pick up a pen and write the answer on the mock test paper. The tip of the pen makes a grinding sound against the top of the paper, brushing brush. The voice was very moving, with slender white fingers, long hair as black as silk, and a girl with a beautiful face.
In fact, falling in love with a girl like Yanran is really too dull, her schedule is arranged very intensively, classrooms, libraries, piano rooms, no matter where she is very serious about learning the content of her own arrangement, so the asphalt road to the canteen and bedroom has become the only place where they can fall in love freely.
The setting sun burned the sky red, and her cheeks were slightly red.
"Yan'er," he murmured her name, holding her hand tightly, his fingers intertwined.
"Well," she said, looking up at him, the clear eyes of the person who looked at him were soft in his heart.
"Yan'er" is as gentle as honey, which makes people's hearts itch and sounds good.
"Well" she likes him to call her that, Yan'er, Yan'er, only he calls her that, with such a beautiful voice, as if the whole world is full of pink peach blossoms, how lucky she is to meet such a boy, clear as water, clear as light.
"Yan'er, we can go to study abroad together, let's go study abroad together!" There was indescribable joy in his voice, he said.
She looked stunned, as if she doubted whether she had heard it wrong, and looked up at him with a somewhat stunned expression.
"Stupid!" Xuanmu thought that Yanran was stupefied by the sudden good news, his eyes were crooked, and he used his slender fingers with bony knots to pamper the hair on her forehead.
"I helped you apply for a special scholarship for studying abroad, but it is said that the exam is more complicated, you have to take the exam first, and then you have to interview, but my Yan'er is so smart, there must be no problem." He said that it seemed that a qiē had been arranged early.
Should she be happy, there is such a thing for her sake, and a boyfriend has been arranged for her in advance, but ......
Study Abroad?
The dream that used to be realized, now has a way to achieve it, and it is close at hand, but she hesitates.
"Xuanmu...... I ......" She lowered her head, looked at her toes, twisted her hands together, and wanted to confess to him, but she felt that something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't say anything, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Silly girl! Don't be grateful to me, I didn't actually do anything, it's just that from now on you may have to work harder, it is said that there are very few people who pass that exam at one time, but it doesn't matter, I think you must have no problem. He took her into his arms and stroked her long hair with his hand, with the best smile on his face and the sun shining brightly.
"When the time comes, we will study abroad together, we can apply for a major, so that we can be tablemates for life, we can also lobby Xia Mo and Yunhai to apply for a school with us, and then we can rent a big house, and the four of us will live together, it must be very lively......" He began to imagine the life of studying abroad in the future, imagining all the romance, warmth and happiness he could think of, even if he talked about it for three days and three nights, he couldn't finish it.
But all the beautiful imaginations were shattered by Yan Ran's words...... (To be continued) R640
