"Ling Bai, I'm going to give you a surprise tomorrow!" Xi Zimo said happily to Ji Lingbai.

"What surprise?" Ji Lingbai already had a guess in his heart, but he still asked Xi Zimo.

Xi Zimo snorted arrogantly, "It's not a surprise to say it." ”

"Well, then I'm looking forward to the surprise you'll give me tomorrow. Ji Lingbai said according to Xi Zimo's meaning.

"Well, then I'm going to prepare a surprise. After speaking, Xi Zimo hung up the phone and went to pack his luggage.

Before I knew it, it was the end of December, and it was time for the Kyoto Art Exchange Conference, and Xi Zimo had already asked his teacher for a vacation, preparing to go to Kyoto for a week.

Ji Lingbai had long been mentally prepared for this, because Xi Zimo's painting was personally sent by her.

After knowing that Xi Zimo would arrive the next day, Ji Lingbai went to tell the counselor that he would stay outside in the near future.

Because the time is relatively short, and he still goes to class on time during the day, he is not stuck with Ji Lingbai.

After talking to the counselor, Ji Lingbai began to arrange the place to stay and the itinerary for the next few days. I have classes every day except Wednesdays, so it seems that I can only let Zimo go to class with me.

However, thinking of the couples in the class going in and out together, Ji Lingbai felt that this seemed to be not bad.

In addition, I said before that I wanted to introduce my team members to Xi Zimo, so I just met him this time. Especially that Tang Guangyao, who is on Ji Lingbai's list.

suddenly remembered that Qi Yayi's movie display seemed to be this week, and it seemed that I could take Zimo to watch it with me then.

......

Just thinking about these activities that could be carried out with Xi Zimo, Ji Lingbai felt very happy in his heart.

Looking at Ji Lingbai's busy appearance, Ding Caixia was a little strange. Ji Lingbai has always been calm, why does he look like he is in a hurry now.

"Ling Bai, is there something going on, why do you look so excited?"

Ji Lingbai didn't expect Ding Caixia to ask herself, "Is there one?"

Ding Caixia nodded fiercely, "Yes, and it's obvious." ”

"Okay. Ji Lingbai didn't expect his happiness to be so overflowing, "Zimo is coming over." ”

"What?" Ding Caixia didn't hear clearly for a while, but Ji Lingbai's voice was too brisk, and it was not the usual calm tone at all.

"I said Zimo was coming over tomorrow. Ji Lingbai repeated it again, and at this time Ding Caixia understood what Ji Lingbai meant.

Ding Caixia nodded, and instantly understood why Ji Lingbai was so excited, "There shouldn't be any holidays recently, did he ask for leave?"

Ji Lingbai nodded, "He came here for this year's art exchange meeting, but he also came to see me." ”

"Got it. Ding Caixia didn't understand Ji Lingbai's careful thoughts. Almost as soon as Ji Lingbai's words were finished, he understood what the other party meant.

"Then you should be going to introduce him to us this time, officially. Because this question was said by Ji Lingbai a long time ago, Ding Caixia had no pressure when she asked.

Ji Lingbai nodded, he did have this plan, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

"Then you shouldn't be living at the school for a few days, right?"

"yes, I told the counselor that I would go out and live in those days, but I would still be in the classroom, so you can still see me. ”

Ding Caixia nodded, not knowing if she could get used to a one-person dormitory. Only at this time will I feel that the dormitory is a little deserted.

However, after understanding what the two roommates did before, Ding Caixia had no intention of continuing to find a roommate.

"Is he coming tomorrow?"

Ji Lingbai actually didn't know, "It should be, he thought I didn't know that he was coming over, and said that he wanted to surprise me." ”

Ding Caixia looked a little envious, "You guys really know how to play." ”

"Want to play? Find your brother Chengzhi. The relationship between the two is not a secret among them, and they are often ridiculed, and Ding Caixia has long been used to it.

"What about your business, don't get involved with me, okay?"

Ji Lingbai smiled, "Speaking of which, it seems that the two of you haven't clearly said your relationship, do you want to show it together." ”

In fact, speaking of this, Ding Caixia is a little depressed, she and Dan Chengzhi do have a little feeling for each other, plus there is more contact, and they are often made together. After a long time, it has a little bit of a sense of going with the flow.

But as a girl, Ding Caixia still yearns for romance. Although the living conditions since she was a child could not support her romance, Dan Chengzhi didn't even say a word of serious confession, so he couldn't say it.

Seeing that Ding Caixia's face was a little wrong, Ji Lingbai didn't say anything further. But I still began to think about Ding Caixia's thoughts in my heart.

On the other side, as soon as Xi Zimo had just finished packing his things, he saw Ling Manlan leaning against his door, looking at him quietly.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Feeling that Ling Manlan's expression was a little wrong, Xi Zimo asked directly.

Ling Manlan didn't know what she was thinking, she was a little distracted inexplicably, and she didn't even hear Xi Zimo's question.

Xi Zimo put down the things in his hand and walked to Ling Manlan's side, "Mom, what are you thinking? ”

At this time, Ling Manlan came back to her senses, looked at her son, who was taller than herself, and patted her son's shoulder, "Zimo, what did you ask me just now?"

Looking at her mother's appearance, Xi Zimo frowned, but didn't say anything. Just pulled Ling Manlan and slowly walked to the side of the sofa and asked the other party to sit down.

Then I went and brewed a glass of honey water, "Mom, drink water." ”

Waiting for Ling Manlan to take the water from Xi Zimo's hand, Xi Zimo sat next to Ling Manlan, "Mom, can't you tell me something?"

Ling Manlan looked at her son, wanting to say something, but she never said it. "It's okay, when I go to Kyoto, I'll look for you Sister Ling Bai, I'm not worried about you alone. ”

"I know. Xi Zimo didn't expect that what Ling Manlan was going to say was actually this matter, "And I've grown up." ”

Seeing Xi Zimo seriously say that he had grown up, Ling Manlan felt a little funny for some reason.

smoothed Xi Zimo's hair, "No matter how you grow up, you are still a child in my place." ”

Xi Zimo didn't refute, he knew that there was no point in rebutting at this time.

"When will Dad come back today?" Because he has been going out for a long time, according to Xi Zimo's guess, Xi Junhan will definitely give himself a "lesson" tonight.

Ling Manlan looked at the time, "I should be back at eight o'clock today." ”

Xi Zimo nodded to show that he understood, "Mom, you watch TV here for a while, and I'll pack up my things." ”

"Well, there you go. Slow down, don't worry, it's inconvenient to forget something. ”

Xi Zimo agreed, got up and went to his bedroom.

Ling Manlan looked at Xi Zimo's back, the sorrow in her heart became deeper and deeper, but she didn't know who to tell her.

Xi Zimo continued to clean up just now, to see what things had to be bringed. But the sad look of my mother just now replayed in my mind from time to time, and I couldn't calm down.

It's just that Ling Manlan didn't say anything, and Xi Zimo had no other way, just to see if Xi Junhan could knock on the side when he came back in the evening.

Anyway, it was almost cleaned up, and Xi Zimo simply sat down. Begin to look like what Ji Lingbai's expression will be when he sees him tomorrow, will he feel very surprised.

Because Ji Lingbai's surprise last time was not so wonderful, Xi Zimo was still a little apprehensive.

But let Xi Zimo just say to Ji Lingbai that he was going over tomorrow, and he felt a little awkward. In the end, I decided to just let it be.

At eight o'clock, Xi Junhan really came back. The three of them had dinner together, and Xi Zimo was called into the study.

It's just that what Xi Junhan didn't expect was that before he could speak, Xi Zimo took the lead in throwing out the question.

"Dad, when I was packing my luggage today, my mother looked at me in a trance, I asked her what was wrong, and she didn't speak, what's going on?"

Xi Junhan didn't know that when he didn't know, Ling Manlan was actually like this. Back then, I couldn't say who was right and who was wrong, but Ling Manlan was definitely the most innocent one, and now like this, it was Ling Manlan who was the saddest.

Looking at his father's equally silent appearance, Xi Zimo felt for the first time that something at home that he didn't know had always existed.

"Can't you tell me, Dad?"

Xi Junhan raised his head with indescribable tiredness in his eyes. "Zimo, I'll tell you about this matter when you come back this time, after all, you are so old, you should know. ”

Xi Zimo didn't understand what Xi Junhan meant, "Since you have already decided to tell me, why do you have to wait for me to come back?"

Xi Junhan didn't speak, but this was already an answer.

Xi Zimo thought for a while, "Since you said that you came back and told me, then do as you say, I hope you won't make excuses when the time comes." ”

"No, you'll have to know about it sooner or later. Xi Junhan replied very simply.

Xi Zimo got the answer and left the study.

It wasn't until the moment Xi Zimo closed the door that Xi Junhan reacted, he should have talked to Xi Zimo today, but he didn't expect to be led astray by the other party.

Shaking his head a little depressedly, Xi Junhan remembered what the two had discussed just now, and instantly felt that his head hurt even more.

However, he still decided to discuss this matter with Ling Manlan.

"No, I don't agree. ”

Unexpectedly, Ling Manlan was very opposed as soon as she heard Xi Junhan's words.

"However, we can't let my son be buried in the dark for the rest of his life. ”

Ling Manlan also knew that this was wrong, but she didn't want to tell her son about it. Especially at times like these.
