Chapter 36: What the Future Looks Like
Chen Xiaodi looked at Bai Ye and said seriously, Bai Ye also looked at her quietly, thoughtfully, and smiled softly after a while, this was the first time they had talked so seriously about the future.
"But Xiaodi, not everyone in this world will choose to be as brave as you, you yourself have said that you can't predict when your physical condition will change unexpectedly, so you don't want to care, but want to do what you want to do as much as possible."
Chen Xiaodi listened silently and nodded slightly.
"But I can't do it, it's true that I haven't been like you a few times, but every time I look at you hanging on a drip, drowsy and sleeping, I will be very scared, afraid that you will never wake up again, and of course many other things are the same. So a lot of times I can't do it desperately, I have to worry about a lot of things, because there are some risks, I can't afford it. ”
Looking at Bai Ye's serious appearance, Chen Xiaodi's originally tightly knit brows stretched out and smiled softly.
"What comes to mind again? Laughing so happily. ”
"I remember that when you were in junior high school, you were like an adult, you took care of this and that all day long, and you had more things to worry about than my mother, and you were so annoying, but now that I think about it, you were more kind at that time."
"Why, isn't it kind now? Besides, if you really become a scientist or something like that in the future, you have so many things to do every day, wouldn't it be good to have a big housekeeper at home who can make money, cook, and contract housework? If this were someone else, you might have to worry about it. ”
"That's right, in this world, you and your uncle and aunt will spoil me all the time, and even my mother always dislikes me."
"Your status in my mother's heart is higher than mine, I always think you are her daughter, she always said let me take good care of you, can't let you be tired, can't make you sick, don't you know, the last time you were hospitalized and I went back, she almost didn't turn her face with me."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaodi's heart was happy, and he happily eliminated three pieces of fish tofu in a row.
"Look at your beauty."
Bai Ye took a tissue and gently wiped the sauce from the corner of Chen Xiaodi's mouth, seeing that she was smiling happily, she smiled herself.
But to tell the truth, Bai's mother is really good to Chen Xiaodi, and has always treated Chen Xiaodi as her own daughter, she likes Chen Xiaodi to be well-behaved and obedient, and the most important thing is that she has a good personality and cares about people, is positive and brave, and will not feel inferior because of her illness, although sometimes she will have a little temper, but she is never unreasonable.
"Anyway, has the time for the provincial competition been set?"
"No, just next month."
"Then prepare well, no matter what you plan in the future, I hope you can do your best."
"Okay, listen to you."
After eliminating the snacks on the table before five o'clock, the two simply swayed slowly to the neighborhood for a stroll, this generation is close to the city, although it is not a prosperous area, but it is also very lively, and the transportation to the city center is also convenient, and a few bus stops can be reached.
Now that the food festival is taking place, the commercial center on the side is also bustling with people like usual, with many shops crowded and some even lined up.
"I want to eat this!"
Just after leaving, Chen Xiaodi saw a stall selling hemp balls in front of a store, so he ran over happily with Bai Ye.
"You've just eaten so much and you're hungry again?"
"It's either hungry or hungry, I haven't eaten this for a long time, and even the small shop at home that used to sell breakfast doesn't sell this now."
Seeing Chen Xiaodi staring at the round and golden Ma Yuan, almost the size of a fist, like a little gluttonous cat, Bai Ye shook his head with a smile, and waited slowly in line with her. After waiting for about ten minutes, Bai Ye went to the supermarket not far in front to buy water, and when he came back, the two hemp balls that had just come out of the pot had already arrived in Chen Xiaodi's hands.
"You, you can't eat much food, but snacks are quite edible."
"So what, are you going to sue?"
Chen Xiaodi took a big bite of the hemp ball, crispy and glutinous, sweet and delicious, she was full of joy when she ate it, and looked at the white leaves with a smile.
"If you let Auntie know that I ate this day's snacks with you, she will have to beat me to death."
"No, she often goes with me to eat."
"I guess Auntie is also afraid that if she doesn't take you to eat, you will sulk with her again."
"Probably, but I don't eat every day, and I don't spend much money, so it's just a hobby, isn't it too much?"
Chen Xiaodi said, looking a little aggrieved.
"It's not too much, as long as you can eat, I'll cook it for you in the future, and you can do whatever you want."
Bai Ye smiled, his face full of pampering.
"Bai Ye, do you really just want to be an ordinary office worker, cooking and doing housework every day in addition to work?"
"Yes, as long as we can all be safe and live a happy life."
"Have you really, never envisioned any other way of life?"
Hearing this, Bai Ye was silent for a while, and said softly: "Of course there is." ”
"Tell me about it."
"Of course, I hope that we can all do the jobs we like, have spare time and spare capital to travel around the world, preferably by the sea, have a spacious yard to grow some flowers and plants, and build a dog house and raise a Satsuma."
"It's not great, it's pretty much what I thought, and while I haven't thought about what I want to do in the future, it's certain that I'll be freelancing, free from a 9-to-5, and have a lot of free time."
"It's good, I don't want you to work too hard, your body is important."
"So since we have the same goal, why don't we work together towards this goal?"
Chen Xiaodi said, turning his head to look at Bai Ye, his eyes flashing with a kind of expectation for his dream.
"Of course that's good, but it's just ......"
As soon as this "just" came out, Chen Xiaodi knew that Bai Ye still had some concerns, and he would most likely choose that more secure lifestyle.
"Stop! As soon as this word came out, I knew that there were no good words. ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaodi seemed to be a little deflated, he threw him a roll of his eyes and turned around and walked forward, Bai Ye shook his head helplessly and sighed softly.
"What, you're so angry?"
"No...... Maybe I've been thinking too much lately, and I always feel a little messed up, and when I see that my sophomore year is coming to an end, I suddenly feel a little lost. ”
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the plan can't keep up with the changes, and when the time comes, you'll know exactly what you want. Just like I think so, I have to achieve it before I can make a number, and my current efforts are just hoping that the future will be more likely to develop in the direction I want. ”
"Well, I don't want to do that, let's go back."
"Okay."
Although she was relieved, Chen Xiaodi still couldn't let go of it in her heart, but she probably didn't expect that the right time would come so soon.
