Chapter 59: Coming Home
PS: My wife appeared, asking for recommendations, clicks, collections, in short, all kinds of requests!!
There's nothing to bring home, just a little vacation, three days of work. Xu Hunxian is also a person who is afraid of trouble, and he hates the kind of walking on the road with big bags and small bags, especially when traveling, although going back today is not a trip.
So when I went back, I only had a backpack on my back and some items in it, and that's it.
However, Xu Hunxian thought about it and decided to bring a gift back for his sister, visited a gift shop, picked a stuffed brown bear, and set foot on the way home. Maybe I went back some time ago, but this time I wasn't as excited as last time.
Xu Hunxian's home is in Seoul, but it is not in Jiangnan, the richest area in South Korea, and the distance is not close.
When he arrived at the station, he boarded a blue bus after buying a ticket, found his place, put his bag away, and dozed off in his seat with the bear in his arms.
I was really tired, and in the cool temperature of the bus, although there was some noise around, Xu Hunxian quickly fell asleep.
As expected, after the car arrived at the station, Xu Hunxian was shaken awake, but it was not the driver of the car, but the girl sitting next to him, elegant, delicate, gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, like a Japanese wind, and her age was not very old, and it was estimated that she was about the same as him.
"When you get to the station, you won't blame me for waking you up, right?" The girl said softly with a sweet smile.
"No, I still want to thank you, otherwise I don't know when I will sleep." Xu Hunxian sprayed a little mist on his face, sobered up for a while, and thanked the other party.
The girl smiled noncommittally, then stood up and took her bag down: "Get out of the car, if you don't hurry up, it is estimated that someone will come to catch us soon." By the way, why do people as old as you still sleep with a teddy bear, it's too naΓ―ve, right? β
Facing the girl's gaze, Xu Hunxian looked at his hand, and sure enough, the bear he bought for Zhuxian was held by himself, he didn't realize it, and when he got into the car, he felt that it was not good to put it elsewhere before he took it himself, but he didn't expect to sleep all the way with it, and it is estimated that the people he saw were a little strange.
"This is a gift for my sister, and she likes this toy, so she bought her one." Although his face was a little red, Xu Hunxian still explained, stood up again, and took down his bag: "Let's go, it's time for us to get out of the car." β
The girl smiled lightly, I don't know if Lu Dao took his explanation to heart, probably because he was too embarrassed on his face, without many words, she walked towards the car door with Xu Hunxian with a smile. "Are you going home too?" After getting out of the car, Xu Hunxian walked next to the girl and asked curiously.
"No, I'm here to play in Seoul, and the summer vacation is coming to an end, so I told Abba, and I ran out alone." The girl looked at Xu Hunxian triumphantly, her eyes flashed with joy, as if she was doing something very remarkable, and it seemed that she wanted to get praise from the other party.
called Xu Hunxian up before, and then chatted a few words, which brought her and Xu Hunxian a lot closer, not friends, but they could talk, and there was not much strangeness.
"Why, aren't you Abba and Oma worried about you? To be told, the security in Seoul is not as good as imagined. β
"They are also very worried, but I have been insisting that they agreed, you don't know how long I begged." The girl stuck out her tongue, a little proud, and a little embarrassed, brushed her scattered hair, and continued: "As for being trafficked, you don't have to worry, I don't go out of the hotel at night, I live in a regular hotel, and the place I go to is also a regular business place, so there should be no so-called bad guys." But thank you very much for your concern. β
Xu Hunxian waved his hand, a little embarrassed. said that she cared, but in fact, she couldn't talk about it, she just said it casually, but I didn't expect her to care so much.
"What about you? Listening to what you just said, are you preparing to go home? β
"Well, it's a holiday today, and school is about to start, so I have to go back and prepare." Xu Hunxian did not hide it.
At this moment, a thunderclap sounded, which diverted the attention of the two, Xu Hunxian raised his head and looked, I don't know when the sky was already full of dark clouds, the weather was okay when he got on the bus at six o'clock, but he didn't expect it to change when he woke up, he also said before why it was dark so early today, it turned out to be the rhythm of rain.
"Where are you staying tonight? Still looking for a hotel? Looking at the girl on the side, Xu Hunxian really cared about the inquiry this time.
"yes, let's go find a hotel to stay in first, and then walk around tomorrow, what's wrong?" Looking at the other party's tone a little eager, the girl didn't know why.
"No, it looks like it's going to rain soon, and it probably won't stop for a while, how can you possibly find a suitable hotel in such a short time, I mean you should come to my house tonight."
The girl listened to it, her expression was quite natural, but when it came to the last sentence, she was a little stunned, and looked at Xu Hunxian with wide eyes, not knowing what the other party meant.
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he glared at Xu Hunxian angrily: "You want to die?" Do you know what you're talking about? β
It's just the first time I've met the other party, and he actually said something like that, and at first I looked at his warm appearance, and I thought he was a good person, but it turned out to be so filthy, it was so disappointing. Glancing at Xu Hunxian, the girl walked away, she didn't want to say anything more.
As soon as Xu Hunxian saw the other party's reaction, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, although he only met occasionally, and he probably wouldn't meet again in the future, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by the other party. So, no matter what, Xu Hunxian, who was holding the brown bear, chased after him and blocked the girl's way.
"Ah, what do you want to do?" Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared again, the girl stared warily.
"Nothing." Xu Hunxian waved his hand, indicating that he had no malicious intent, "That's the case, I think there may have been some misunderstanding just now." β
"Misunderstanding?!" The girl was a little confused, the meaning was so obvious, what else did she misunderstand? There is a person who invites the other party to his home when he meets for the first time, and it is a girl of the opposite sex, isn't it bad intentions?
I have to say that the girl can think of this, it is indeed enough to think differently, but she can't be blamed, it is good to go out to play alone, and have one more thought.
"Yes, it was really a misunderstanding." Xu Hunxian touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead, sighed lightly, and said: "After you called me up in the car just now, I really thank you, in Seoul, especially in this place, I am also a local, and I am relatively familiar with the neighborhood, I originally wanted to go back after looking for a hotel with you, but I didn't expect it to rain, and it will definitely be impossible to find it slowly, so I invite you to live in my house, you can rest assured, in addition to your parents, there is a younger sister at home, they are all very good to get along with, for the misunderstanding caused to you just now, I'm really sorry. β
Originally, it was still in plain language, but after talking about the worst, even the honorifics came out, and an apologetic bow was added.
The girl looked at him and didn't say anything, but from her soothing face, it could be seen that the trace of anger was slowly disappearing, and soon, her face slowly turned red.
"It's okay, in fact, I'm also wrong, you think of people like that......" said as he spoke, his voice gradually becoming smaller, like the murmur of mosquitoes.
"I'm really sorry." The girl folded her feet together and bent down apologetically.
The misunderstanding was resolved, and the girl also agreed to live at Xu Hunxian's house temporarily, if she was still very vigilant when she first met, then now there is no mustard at all, through what happened just now, the girl also has a preliminary understanding of Xu Hunxian's personality, if it is not for her good character, who will explain so much to her?
To be realistic, the two of them are just strangers in the vast sea of people, after this pass, I don't know if Lu Dao will see each other again next time, and Xu Hunxian's seemingly redundant behavior can better reflect his cultivation and make people more at ease.
South Korea belongs to the country facing the sea on three sides, and is more affected by the ocean, especially in summer, the rain is very sufficient, no, it was still a gloomy day just now, and occasionally accompanied by uninterrupted thunder weather, in Xu Hunxian and the two did not take a few steps, they began to drop cool raindrops to the crowd, and in an instant, there was a surging trend, as if they didn't want money, and swayed their enthusiasm to the earth.
"Let's find a place to hide from the rain, shall we?" When it was raining just now, Xu Hunxian took off his coat and gave the teddy bear to the girl, and he propped his clothes on top of the heads of the two, but it didn't take long for the clothes to get wet, so the girl suggested to him.
"You don't need to find a place to hide, the front is the community where my house is located, and it won't take long to run a few times to get downstairs." There is no way, looking at Xu Hunxian's appearance, she has to rush back directly, and the girl can only accompany her to the end.
But it seems that he really didn't lie to himself, and after running a few steps, a community appeared in front of his eyes, and after entering the community, he turned a few more corners, and under the leadership of Xu Hunxian, he rushed into an apartment building.
"Here we are." Xu Hunxian took off his coat and said to the girl out of breath.
However, after seeing the girl's appearance, her face showed embarrassment, because the other party had no gentle and quiet temperament at this time, her hair was all wet, and the rain that hit her face was dripping from time to time, and she looked very embarrassed.
"What's wrong, is there something wrong?" Seeing that the other party's expression was very strange, the girl asked breathlessly, but she was immediately attracted by the strange feeling on her face, and when she reached out and touched it, the water droplets covered the entire back of her hand, and she suddenly understood what was going on.
But she didn't show much performance, she just glared at Xu Hunxian fiercely: "It's all your fault, let you find a place to hide first, you don't listen, your clothes are all wet, are you happy now?" Why don't you take me up to the shower and change my clothes? β
Xu Hunxian knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly led the way in front, the only thing that satisfied him was that because the teddy bear was packed in plastic packaging, and it was well sealed, so much rain had no effect on it at all, of course, being held in the arms of the girl was also a large part of the reason.
Xu Zhuxian is very unconcerned about practicing the piano today, not only that, but when doing other things, he is often absent-minded, since the morning, I don't know how many times Xu's mother has said it, but it still has little effect, which is a very strange phenomenon for a little girl who is usually very well-behaved, but today, Xu's mother is not as strict as usual, at most she just says it a few more times, and after saying too much, she still makes mistakes, and she rarely exports again.
In the morning, I was better, and I was able to practice quietly for a while, even if there were not many mistakes.
It's okay at noon, I played the piano for a while, and read the book for a while, but the effect is not as good as in the morning, and it's always making mistakes, holding the book in my hand, looking at it from a distance, as if I'm really reading the book seriously, but after getting closer, I will find that her eyes seem to be staring at the book in her hand, but there is no trace of focus.
Xu's mother also found out, at first she also thought that her daughter was concentrating on reading, but when she got closer, she found that her daughter's mind was not in the book now, and her mind didn't know where she had flown to, and she didn't even find it behind her, but Xu's mother didn't say anything, quietly walked to her side, and quietly walked away, doing her own housework.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhuxian simply put down the book in her hand, turned on the TV boringly to kill time, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall from time to time, even so, she didn't last long.
"Oma, when will my brother come back?" Shaking Xu's mother's arm, Xu Zhuxian said in a greasy voice. Mother Xu stopped playing the piano and looked at her daughter in some surprise, she suspected that her ears had heard it wrong, why was the tone of her voice just now a little coquettish?
This is not the same as the usual image of being serious, and sometimes politely greeting herself and her husband! Feeling her mother's different gaze, Xu Zhuxian lowered her head embarrassedly, and she was a little surprised, she didn't notice that she was talking to her mother in that tone, could it be that she was influenced by her brother?
Well, it's definitely like this, my brother often spoils his mother, and I don't feel mature yet.
"Hunxian only arrived home at night, it's only a little past four o'clock now, I guess his practice is not over yet, we will also go out to buy some ingredients now, and make delicious food for your brother at night."
"Hmm......" Xu Zhuxian puffed out his mouth and nodded helplessly, today's time flies so slowly, from morning to now, it has not been a few hours, but it is so tormenting.
Xu's mother and Xu Zhuxian changed into clothes to go out, and went out to buy groceries, and it didn't take long, about forty minutes, and the two came back from outside, and this process only made the time turn to a position close to four o'clock.
Changing her shoes and putting the ingredients in the kitchen sink, Seo Joo-hyun didn't go to the living room to watch TV, but found an apron to put on her body, but it seemed that she was too small, and the apron had been dragged to the ground.
"Xiaoxian, don't help, go watch TV, just do these things Mom." Looking at her daughter wearing an apron, Xu's mother smiled helplessly.
"Oma, it's okay, I'm ten years old, I can do something for you." Seeing that her daughter insisted, Xu's mother didn't say much, opened the plastic bag, took out the meat, put it on a plate on the side, and put the vegetables into another pool to wash them.
Xu Zhuxian also learned from Xu's mother and started cleaning vegetables, although it was the first time, but learning from Xu's mother, there was still a look.
Cooking is really a troublesome thing, the person who eats has no feeling, but the person who does it has a deep understanding, the most annoying thing is the cleaning of the ingredients, troublesome, and a waste of time, and a little tired, keep a stiff action for a long time, I believe, few people can stand it.
Xu Zhuxian is still young in the end, and after standing on the bench for less than twenty minutes, he is already tired, but he is still trying to persevere. Although she was also washing vegetables, Xu's mother still paid attention to her daughter's situation, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that she was tired and persevering.
helped her wipe off the beads of sweat that came out of nowhere on her forehead, and said softly: "Xiaoxian, go and rest, see that you are sweating, hurry up and cool down for a while, and I will do the rest." β
Xu Zhuxian also noticed that his ability was not good, and looked at the ingredients in front of him in distress, as if these things could not be solved for a while, and he seemed to be almost tired, pouting a little mouth, helplessly put down the vegetables in his hand, and got off the bench.
"I'm sorry Oma didn't help you much." Xu Zhuxian lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.
Mother Xu couldn't cry or laugh, but there was nothing she could do, although her daughter was very well-behaved and obedient, but sometimes she was very upright and rigid, and she was a little too reasonable, and how many times she said it, it had no effect at all.
Her son is like this sometimes, and occasionally she is coquettish, if the two children are like Xu Zhuxian, she doesn't know what Lu Dao's life will be like in the future.
"It's okay, go play by yourself for a while, maybe your brother will come back while you're playing." Mother Xu straightened Xu Zhuxian's loose hair, patted her little head, and untied her oversized apron.
Xu Zhuxian, who had nothing to do, had to wear loose clothes and sit on the sofa boringly, because he was sweating a little just now, his right hand was fanning beside him, his little face was flushed, and he looked cute.
There was really nothing to do, so she turned on the TV again, flipping through channel after channel aimlessly, and even lost interest in her favorite cartoon at this time.
"Oma, it's going to rain." The sun was still shining just now, but in the far south, the dark clouds were coming to the north, and Xu Zhuxian, who had been watching TV for more than an hour, hurriedly opened the window to see the scene outside.
Although there is still sunlight in the southern region, large black clouds can already be seen in the sky, but fortunately here, the sun is still abundant, but the sky seems to be divided into two halves, one bright and one dark.
"Then hurry up and put your clothes away." Xu's mother just commanded and didn't come out, although Xu Zhuxian is not big, she still has the ability to collect clothes, although it is a little difficult.
"Yes, Oma." Standing on a bench, with the help of tools, Xu Zhuxian put in the clothes that were drying outside.
At half-past six, the dark clouds finally covered the area directly above the area, and the area was further expanded, and a cool breeze was raised, and the trees outside were blown and rattled, and occasionally the dull thunder was remembered.
"Oma, when my brother comes back at this time, will he be caught in the rain?" Xu Zhuxian asked nervously with wide eyes.
"No, your brother is not stupid, does he not know how to hide when it rains?" Xu Hunxian is not stupid, but sometimes people make mistakes, and he brought someone today.
While the two were talking, the rain that had been accumulated for a long time finally couldn't help but fall, dissipating the heat that adhered to the surface of the earth, and it didn't take long for a knock on the door outside.
