When they got home, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying found that just as Qin Qiaoyun said on the road, she had closed the café and ended today's business.

"You guys go up first, I'll go find a place to park." After the two got out of the car, Qin Qiaoyun looked for a place to park nearby.

Opening the door of the café on the first floor, Duan Zilian and Xu Ying walked in, and immediately smelled a burst of fragrance, and this fragrance was obviously coming from the second floor.

Looking at the stairs leading to the second floor, Duan Zilian thought that Xu Ying's father could also be upstairs, and suddenly became even more nervous, and really had a feeling of wanting to see his parents.

"Pity, there's nothing to be nervous about, relax, according to what I just said, you just need to behave naturally, and you can do whatever you want. If my dad deliberately embarrasses you, I'll say him and help you out. ”

Seeing Duan Zilian's cramped and uneasy appearance, Xu Ying smiled and comforted him.

"Hmm."

Duan Zilian nodded, he couldn't escape anyway, so he took a deep breath, calmed down his restless heart a little, plucked up his courage, and walked to the second floor with Xu Ying.

The door of the house on the second floor was open, and they walked in directly, and in an instant, they all felt the fragrance even stronger.

At the same time, Duan Zilian saw Qian Meng and Song Cheng busy in the kitchen, Luo Lingling was sitting on the sofa, eating apples with nothing to do, and Li Nan was chatting with the middle-aged man.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Duan Zilian's heart suddenly tightened, after all, he had seen it a few times before, and now he naturally recognized it at a glance, he was Xu Ying's district chief's father.

"Hello, we're back."

As soon as she entered the door, Xu Ying greeted everyone in the room with a smile and made their eyes focused.

"Come back, you go and put your things away, change your shoes, and wait a little longer, and then you can have dinner."

Hearing the voice, Qian Meng immediately poked his head out of the kitchen.

"When I came back, I heard my mother say that she was going to prepare a big meal tonight, but my mother actually brought you over to work as coolies, and it was hard for you." Xu Ying walked over to the kitchen and looked inside.

"It's not hard, you and the college entrance examination are over, of course we have to celebrate, we are here to eat." Song Cheng, who was cutting meat, looked back and smiled.

"What are you cooking? It smells so good, I can smell it downstairs. ”

"Incense, huh? I'm still confident in my cooking, so I'll let you try my hand at it later. ”

At this time, Qian Meng was in charge, and when he heard Xu Ying say this, he was a little complacent.

"Can I try it now? See if it's poisonous. ”

Hearing this, Song Cheng smiled again, while Qian Meng rolled his eyes: "No, you go and put things away and get ready." ”

"Oh."

……

When Xu Ying was chatting with Qian Meng and Song Cheng, Duan Zilian plucked up the courage and went to say hello to Xu Ying's father, District Chief Xu.

"Hello uncle."

"Well, hello, I haven't seen you in a while. By the way, what about Qiaoyun? Didn't I come up with you? After looking at Duan Zipian for a while, District Chief Xu smiled kindly.

"Aunt Qiao, she's gone to find a place to park, let's come up first." Duan Zilian replied immediately.

"Oh."

"Pity, let's go put things down first, wash your hands and face or something, and then we can start eating soon."

Li Nan could see that Duan Zilian was a little nervous when facing District Chief Xu, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew what the reason was, so he asked him to put things away and prepare.

"Hmm."

In response, Duan Zilian returned to the room, took a deep breath, relieved the tension in his heart, and put away his ID card, admission ticket, exam supplies and other things, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face and make himself look more energetic.

Qian Meng and Song Cheng were working in the kitchen, and Duan Zilian felt as if he couldn't help, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down on the sofa.

"I'm thirsty, I want water." At this time, Luo Lingling, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Oh, okay, I'll go pour you water."

Duan Zilian immediately got up, went to pour a glass of water for Luo Lingling, and then put the water in her hand.

If it was in normal times, after getting the water, Luo Lingling would definitely judge Duan Zilian's position by feeling, and then splash the water in the cup on Duan Zilian's body.

However, because there were so many people today, she didn't do it, and after getting the cup filled with water, she handed the leftover apple core to Duan Zilian.

Throwing the apple core into the trash, Duan Zilian sat down again.

During this process, District Chief Xu was secretly observing Duan Zilian, and when he saw that he took care of Luo Lingling so naturally, he nodded lightly.

At this time, Xu Ying put her things away, walked over, and sat down directly next to Duan Zilian.

Seeing this, District Chief Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his gaze at Duan Zilian also became subtle, a little intriguing.

Through Qin Qiaoyun's dictation, he knew that Xu Ying had already dated Duan Zilian, but he didn't know how far they had progressed.

And now, seeing them sitting together so intimately, he felt very uncomfortable, his mood became complicated, and he was a little unhappy.

At the same time, seeing Xu Ying sitting down next to him so directly, Duan Zilian's heart suddenly jumped, and he instantly felt very embarrassed and embarrassed.

Moreover, he couldn't help but glance at District Chief Xu cautiously, and when he noticed that District Chief Xu was looking at him with subtle eyes, he immediately became even more nervous, like sitting on a needle carpet, fidgeting.

In this case, he complained a little about Xu Ying, and subconsciously moved to the side, not getting so close to Xu Ying.

Otherwise, he really couldn't stand the gaze of District Chief Xu.

However, Xu Ying quietly grabbed his clothes, didn't let him go, and talked to District Chief Xu casually.

"Dad, as soon as I entered the door just now, I saw you and Brother Nan chatting, what are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything, just talked about some daily trivial matters."

District Chief Xu retracted his gaze and answered Xu Ying's question as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Well, I just talked about your usual situation, and there are some interesting things." Li Nan added.

"Oh." Xu Ying answered.

"By the way, how are your exams? Feels okay, right? District Chief Xu asked about their college entrance examination.

"I feel OK, if you want to apply for our University of China, there should be no problem." Xu Ying made an "OK" gesture, full of confidence.

"Me...... I'm okay, it's just a little out of shape. Duan Zilian also replied.

"Misplayed? Is it because of Xinyan's business? Li Nan asked.

"Hmm."

Duan Zilian nodded, but heard Luo Lingling snort softly, but he couldn't pay attention to so much now.

"Alas...... I know it's going to affect you, but there's no way around it. Li Nan sighed.

District Chief Xu quietly looked at Duan Zi a few more times.

From Qin Qiaoyun, he knew what had happened recently here, and he also knew that it was not easy for Duan Zilian.

To be honest, he admired Duan Zipian a lot, after suffering a blow, he did not collapse, let alone choose to escape, but handled things well in grief, and at a young age, he took on a very heavy pressure and responsibility, which is incomparable to other peers.

Through this incident, he knew that Duan Zilian was very responsible and responsible, at least much calmer than most of his peers.

Xu Ying is more relieved to associate with such a person.

But after thinking about it, thinking that Duan Zilian and his daughter had a relationship, and they were still sitting together so intimately, District Chief Xu was really a little unhappy, and he felt a sense of loss.

"Since you're out of shape, what are you going to do? Repeat? "If you're not happy, you're not happy, District Chief Xu still has to care about Duan Zipian.

Duan Zilian shook his head and replied: "No need, although I am a little out of order, I guess there is no problem in being admitted to our University of China." ”

"Oh, that's good." District Chief Xu responded, not caring so much.

"Pity, it's okay, if you don't play well, you can still be admitted to the National University of China, if you play normally, wouldn't you be able to be admitted to the most powerful National University of China?" Li Nan said in an exaggerated tone.

"It's okay." Duan Zilian modestly touched his nose.

"Having said that, if you are admitted to the National University together, then you can be regarded as my younger brothers and sisters." Glancing at Duan Zilian, Li Nan said with a smile.

"Brother Nan, did you also study at the National University of China before?" Xu Ying was surprised, and so did Duan Zilian.

"No, I was admitted to the National University of China when I was a graduate student, and I studied in another place." Li Nan replied.

"Brother Nan, since you have studied in graduate school before, why did you come to be a barista instead?" Duan Zilian asked curiously.

Speaking of this, Li Nan sighed old-fashionedly.

"What if you go to graduate school? The major is not right, it is still difficult to find a job, and when I work in those companies, I am tired and tired, not to mention, and I have to be angry with the leader, so I quit. ”

"I happened to be more interested in coffee, so I used my time in college and graduate school to get a barista certificate. After I quit my job from those companies, I simply became a barista, and as I am now, I brewed coffee every day, and my life was much more comfortable than when I worked in the company. ”

"No matter what you do, it's all for life, there's no way, life is not easy, especially if you want to live an ideal life, it's even more difficult." After Li Nan finished speaking, District Chief Xu couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Afterwards, Li Nan chatted with District Chief Xu.

Feeling that he was not so nervous anymore, Duan Zilian took out his mobile phone idly to see if anyone had sent him a message or any notification in the group.

Several people chatted together, and after a while, Qin Qiaoyun came back, sat for a while, and then went to the kitchen to help Qian Meng and Song Cheng cook.

In a short time, a hearty meal is ready.

Seeing this, everyone else consciously washed their hands and prepared to enjoy a big meal.
