Chapter Twenty-Eight: Can't Hide Secretly

Yan Yimo accompanied Su Xiaoxiao to check in all the wish lists.

Walking hand in hand by the Brooklyn Bridge,

The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds a brochure to see the exhibition,

In the evening, I sat on a cruise ship and looked at the brightly lit Manhattan on the shore.

Kissing in the wind on the Rockefeller Building after dusk.

Waiting in line for more than an hour to eat marshmallow ice cream and milk cookie cups,

The lobster roll that I've been thinking about for a long time and the grilled mushroom beef burger from Shake Shack,

When you are tired of walking in the afternoon, you can find a coffee shop with a small family.

Order a cup of coffee and a piece of cake to pass the afternoon.

Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the photos of the past week on the sofa, the corners of her happy mouth rose, and she picked up the milk tea in front of her and took a big sip.

"Hey," Su Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember a big event, hooked her body and poked Yan Yimo, who was sitting next door, with a somewhat weak tone, "Mr. Yi, I suddenly thought that I didn't seem to be in love with my parents yet." ”

Hearing her suddenly mention this, Yan Yimo raised his eyes, put down the computer in his hand, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao opposite.

They didn't officially say anything like whether they wanted to be together, and they didn't introduce each other seriously to each other's parents. Maybe it's because they've known each other since childhood, and they're destined to be together, and everything feels like it's a matter of course.

Seeing that Yan Yimo didn't answer her, Su Xiaoxiao continued, "My parents are not in Nanjing, and it's quite embarrassing to suddenly mention this on the phone, so I haven't said it." But tomorrow will be the 31st, and the day after tomorrow, does it mean that I will hide it from them for a year? ”

Yan Yimo saw that she was really serious about thinking about this, pulled Su Xiaoxiao's hands, pulled her face, and smiled, "Huh? Thinking about exposing me to my uncles and aunts? ”

"Well," Su Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and whispered embarrassedly, "I'll have to say it sooner or later anyway." ”

Suddenly, he plucked up his courage again, "Then, I'll say it tonight!" My parents want to see you in a while, and I'll give you a gesture. Mr. Yi, don't be nervous. It's okay! ”

actually asked him not to be afraid, Yan Yimo smiled and showed the small pear vortex at the corner of his mouth. patted Su Xiaoxiao's hands, half serious and half playful, and said, "Well, my brother is not afraid." Anyway, sooner or later, Shinoxiao is our family. ”

It is false to comfort Yimo not to be nervous, Su Xiaoxiao's own nervousness is real.

After making up my mind, I kept thinking about how to speak, and I demonstrated it to the mirror several times, and my voice and expression were uniform. I felt weird while practicing, and I also pulled Yan Yimo to inspect the goods, forcing him to put forward valuable suggestions.

Yan Yimo couldn't cry or laugh when he was tossed, and he couldn't wait for a showdown with Su Xiaoxiao's parents. But seeing that Su Xiaoxiao looked serious and was amused, he pretended to cooperate with the performance very seriously, and put forward a few 'constructive suggestions' from time to time, and Su Xiaoxiao also accepted them all.

When she was about to press the video invitation button, Su Xiaoxiao's fingers were cold, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her heart was pounding and beating, as if she had just finished running 800 meters. She made a gagged gesture to Yan Yimo, signaling him to keep quiet. After taking a big breath, I mustered up all my courage and pressed it.

It didn't take long for my mother's familiar voice to come from the other end of the video.

"Eh, it's Xiaoxiao." Mom put down what she was doing and smiled and said, "How's it going in New York?" You have to thank your classmates for letting you live in her house, invite someone to have a meal and buy a small gift or something..."

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao's mother mention living in the same school, Yan Yimo raised his head and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao, who saw it at this glance, was furious, and hurriedly interrupted her mother's words.

"Mom, Mom, in fact, it's not exactly a classmate." After thinking for a few seconds, "UMMM, it's an acquaintance." ”

"Not a classmate?" When my mother heard this, her tone became serious, "Su Xiaoxiao, you tell me well, where are you now?" ”

Dad also put down the newspaper in his hand and leaned his head over, puzzled and curious, "Su Xiaoxiao, didn't you say that you went to play with friends?" After a pause, he glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's mother, and then looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was weak-hearted, "Xiaoxiao, are you in love and going to play with your boyfriend?" ”

was broken by his father's words, Su Xiaoxiao's ears turned red, and he snorted.

Hearing this, my mother's fire jumped up, "I went to New York with my boyfriend and hid it from us, Su Xiaoxiao, you have really grown up and your wings are hard!" ”

Looking at my mother's posture, I felt an urge to buy a plane ticket and fly in immediately. Su Xiaoxiao felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she quickly gave Yan Yimo a look and asked him to come over to help put the fire on fire.

The father at the end of the video also glared at Su Xiaoxiao, looking like he hated iron but not steel. Although he treasures Su Xiaoxiao, he will not protect her without principles.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's signal for help, Yan Yimo got up unhurriedly, straightened his collar with his hand, and sat down next to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao's parents on the other end of the video said respectfully but very seriously, "Hello uncle and aunt, I am Su Xiaoxiao's boyfriend, and I am easy to say." ”

Every word seemed to be well thought out, and the other end of the video fell silent.

"Xiaomo?" The amount of information was too much, and Su Xiaoxiao's mother couldn't believe it.

"It's me, Auntie. Long time no see. ”

Seeing that it was Yan Yimo, Su Xiaoxiao's father breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his wife's shoulder with a smile, "It turned out to be Xiaomo, then I'm much more relieved." ”

Thinking of what he should instruct, he asked a little more seriously, "How long have you been together?" ”

"It's been more than two months."

Su Xiaoxiao rushed to answer, with a flattering expression on his face, "Dad~ I wanted to say it a long time ago, isn't this all the time I have been studying before~ Yan Yimo is in New York again~"

"Well," Mom also eased up a little, smoothed out, and clicked on Yan Yimo and Su Xiaoxiao in the video, "You two children, it's good to say no, Mom and Dad don't let you fall in love." Su Xiaoxiao, you have to make me angry with a heart attack. ”

Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Didn't I say that..."

"You're still talking back!"

Yan Yimo hurriedly pulled Su Xiaoxiao over and pointed most of the pictures on himself.

"Uncle and aunt, it's me who is not good, we should have told you earlier. But don't worry, I'll be good to Shinoshio. When the summer vacation is over, I will visit in person. ”

"Well, okay, uncle doesn't have anything else to worry about."

Dad nodded and looked at the two, "I respect you, but young people must protect themselves and study and work hard." ”

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Su Xiaoxiao heard her father's voiceover, and hurriedly turned the picture back to her side, "I know, don't worry about it!" ”

"Well, Dad is right," Mom nodded in agreement, "Don't we know what Xiaomo is like?" We're afraid of you..."

Su Xiaoxiao had three rows of black lines on his head, looking at Yan Yimo who was smiling and shaking next to him, thinking to himself whose parents this was, and feeling that his biological daughter was a big bad wolf.

The four chatted for a while, and Su Xiaoxiao briefly reported to his parents what he had done in the past two days, and told them that he was going to Yan's father and mother tomorrow for New Year's Eve, so he hung up the phone.

Su Xiaoxiao, who hung up the phone, was like a deflated balloon, spread out on the sofa for a long time before sitting up slowly, moving to Yan Yimo's side like a little baby, shaking his arm and coquettishly said, "Brother, fortunately there is you, otherwise I will be miserably trained." But how did you know I liked you at the time? In case I don't like you and reject you, it's not that my sister can't be a sister. ”

"Little ghost," Yan Yimo rubbed Su Xiaoxiao with the tip of his nose, "Of course I know, I can't hide my like." ”

Hearing him say that, Su Xiaoxiao giggled shyly, buried her head in the big fluffy pillow and refused to take it out for a long time.

I've tried, tried to keep my love for you in my heart. But later, I found out that I couldn't hide it secretly. - Words are easy to ink
