Chapter 16: The Children Returning Home
Love is not only sweet, but also bitter. It's not just the happiness of princes and princesses, it's also the naked reality.
Lin Xun heard footsteps outside the door. She moved from the spot where her photo was held to the place where Song Cheng's collection of cameras was placed. She pretended not to have seen the photos.
The switch on the door turns.
When Song Cheng came in, he saw Lin Xun looking intently at the cameras. "Interested in these?"
Lin Xun shook his head.
Song Cheng walked over and hugged her from behind Lin Xun, hugged her into his arms, and smiled at her dotingly. "Everyone has something they like, and it's normal not to be interested in that."
Lin Xun let Song Cheng hug him like this, she felt the body temperature on his body and sniffed the good smell on his body.
"Everything in Song Cheng now belongs to me, and the future is me and him. Everyone has their own past, and so do feelings, but the important thing is the present and the future, right? She shouldn't care about Song Cheng's past with another woman. Lin Xun comforted himself in his heart.
That's true, but very few people can actually do it. When you fall in love with someone, deep down you want that person's past and future to be your own.
Lin Xun's heart was very uncomfortable at this time, as if he was blocked by something. Even though there are a thousand words in my heart, I can't say a word in my mouth. To put it in a colloquial way, it simply means - jealousy.
Lin Xun turned around and hugged him back and forth, her hand around his waist and buried her face deep in his chest.
She has no experience in feelings, and she is not as gifted as she is in painting. Like most girls, they are emotionally sensitive. She is only 22 years old, and her thinking is immature in many ways, and she can't afford to experience the ups and downs of the world.
Song Cheng saw Lin Xun's initiative, and his heart must have blossomed. Lin Xun is easily shy and restrains his behavior in terms of feelings. People who are not familiar with her personality can easily think that she is cold.
Song Cheng respects her character and habits. He was already a mature man of thirty years old, mature enough in thought. He knew how to love and respect the little woman in his arms.
Since Lin Xun won't take the initiative in terms of feelings, he will take the initiative. Isn't it true that two people living together is to understand each other and accommodate each other?
Lin Xun is also dressed in a plain color today, still wearing a high ball head, and she looks so smart and cute in such a dress.
After Song Cheng entered the house, he took off his black blazer and put it on the edge of the sofa. Now all he wears is a white shirt.
When Lin Xun hugged him tightly, he clearly felt the body temperature on Song Cheng's body. The slightly hot body temperature on the man's body spread to Lin Xun's slightly cool face.
Li Wei's hometown is not far from Y City, just on the edge of Y City. Feng Zikai drove the car onto the highway and arrived at Li Wei's hometown in only two hours.
Although it is close to the bustling city of Y, it seems to be isolated from all the hustle and bustle of the city. It's just an unpretentious old city.
The buildings here seem to have a certain history, not old, but a trace of history. The whole city gives the feeling of being in the life of the eighties and nineties.
Feng Zikai followed Li Wei's instructions, turned the car into a block and stopped in front of a community.
The community here is not a commercial area, and the buildings are not high. The age of the community is much older than Feng Zikai's. The surrounding environment is full of life.
When they drove over, they saw old people playing chess in the old park, people returning home from grocery shopping, and an old shop selling breakfast.
Li's mother has already packed a small amount of luggage and is waiting for her daughter's return home. Hearing that her daughter said that she had brought a few friends back with her, Li's mother prepared some special food from here and put it on the table to greet her friends.
The house where Li Wei lives with her mother is the house left by Li Wei's maternal grandparents, and Li Wei's aunt and Li Wei's mother's sister also live in this community.
After Li Wei's mother divorced, she took Li Wei back to her parents' house to live, and her only sister married someone in the same community.
Thinking of her sister's difficulties, after the death of her parents, Aunt Li Wei agreed with her parents' thoughts when they were alive and left the house to Li Wei's mother and daughter. And over the years, Li Wei's aunt has helped her family a lot, especially after Li Wei's mother fell ill.
Aunt Li Wei accompanied Li's mother at home, and she was very happy to know that her sister was going to the big city to see a doctor today. In ordinary people like them, small illnesses and pains are nothing, but if they are unlucky enough to suffer from a serious illness like Li's mother, they will either go bankrupt or desperately wait for death to come.
Aunt Li Wei is also very pleased that Li Wei's child has the ability to take her sister for treatment, and she is also sad to see her sister's hardships over the years. I thought it was because the child was older and admitted to graduate school, and my sister's life finally came out, but I didn't expect to suffer from this disease when I was old.
There is hope if you can go to a big city for treatment.
The two elders were at home waiting for the young man to return, and the two were also busy all morning. Li's mother also tidied up the house a day in advance. Don't embarrass your daughter because the house is too messy.
The group followed Li Wei up the stairs, Li Wei was at the front, Jian An'an was behind her, and Feng Zikai and Hao Shu were at the end. Li Wei's house is on the third floor, there is no elevator here, and the stairs are a little narrow.
Feng Zikai's body was a little big, Hao Shu felt uncomfortable and retreated, but he didn't expect Feng Zikai to have the same idea, and the two retreated at the same time.
Hao Shu was a little annoyed with him, and it was not the right time to be serious.
Feng Zikai felt dissatisfaction from Hao Shu. It's rare for him to think about it once, and she's not happy about it? He made a gesture of invitation and asked Hao Shu to go first.
Mother Li and Aunt Li Wei heard a knock on the door. "Xiaowei is back!" Li's mother was a little excited, she hadn't seen her daughter for half a year, she rubbed her hands a few times, and trotted over to open the door for them.
Li Wei felt a little bitter when she saw her mother, and tears seemed to be in the corners of her eyes.
My mother lost a lot of weight because she was sick. In his early years, he suffered a lot because of earning money, and his face looked older than his peers.
"Mom, I'm back."
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Li's mother saw that there were two girls of the same age as her who came back with her daughter, and there was also a big guy.
Mother Li looked at the three people who came back with her daughter and had a good temperament, and they looked like cultured people. The guy was still wearing a white suit.
Li's mother doesn't know if the handsome guys in big cities wear suits, but looking at Feng Zikai's temperament and dress, she knows that she is not a child from an ordinary family. My daughter suddenly said that she would take her to the big city for treatment, could it be that?
She has also heard her neighbors talk about which girl sells her body for money or something. Thinking of this, Li's mother felt pain in her heart.
But think about it, she believes in her daughter's character, and what her daughter's conduct is, isn't it clear to her, a mother? What's more, there are two girls who came back together, and it may be the object of one of the girls!
Mother Li smiled and said to Feng Zikai: "Come into the house quickly, are you tired from taking the car?"
"Auntie, we're not tired."
Several people followed Li Wei in.
"Auntie." Li Wei's heart warmed when she saw her aunt standing in the living room. Her aunt has treated her like a daughter since she was a child.
"Xiaowei is back with a friend!"
"Hmm."
"Hello Auntie." Several people greeted each other at the same time.
"Hello." Aunt Li Wei's smile is as warm as Li's mother.
"Oh, by the way, you guys have something to eat." Aunt Li Wei pointed to the food on the table.
"Uh-huh." Hao Shu tugged at the corner of Feng Zikai's clothes and pulled him to the table.
Feng Zikai twitched the corners of his mouth and followed her over to sit on the chair.
"Auntie, we and Li Wei are good friends and acquaintances, so let's just be casual." Hao Shu smiled and said to Mother Li and Aunt Li Wei.
At this time, Li's mother poured tea for several of them. Hao Shu said this to relieve the psychological pressure of many of the two elders, who were afraid of neglecting Li Wei's friends.
"Good, good." Li's mother said happily. :
Li Wei threw a grateful smile at Hao Shu.
Feng Zikai was speechless, did this woman completely treat him as one of those unreasonable gentlemen? Forget it, don't bother with her on such occasions.
Hao Shu was indeed afraid that Feng Zikai would have any inappropriate behavior, like the scolding in the restaurant before, she couldn't forget it. Moreover, he dressed so noblely and came to Li Wei's house to increase the pressure on Li Wei's family to entertain guests, and he was afraid that he would snub him.
After a brief rest, the group returned to Y City.
At around twelve o'clock, Feng Zikai had already taken them to sit in the private room of the first junior high school restaurant.
The most excited are Hao Shu and Jian An'an.
Hao Shu usually works part-time here as a waiter. The quality of the people who come here is basically good, but the service industry will inevitably encounter some strange guests, and it is inevitable to be looked down upon. Especially in such a high-class place, many people who come here feel that they are superior and look at them as waiters in a different light.
Serving guests for so long, she never dreamed that she would one day come in as a guest. Her excitement is a little exaggerated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in tears.
Li Wei's heart was also very excited, it was the first time she brought her mother into such a high-level place, although she didn't do it with her own ability. She thanked Lin Xun.
"Isn't it expensive to eat here?" Mother Li looked at the layout of this private room, she had never seen such a beautiful place on TV, and it was also a place to eat.
"It's definitely expensive!" Jian An'an almost said this sentence, but fortunately she stopped. You can't say that! Her mouth is the most susceptible to bad things.
"It's just an ordinary restaurant, and my aunt drinks some tea." Feng Zikai poured a cup of tea for Li's mother, put it on the table, turned the round table and placed it in front of her.
"A restaurant." This big city is so good, and the restaurants are so good.
Hao Shu secretly laughed in his heart, this shrew man performed well this time, and he dared to say so here. To them it was a noble temple, but to him it was really a restaurant.
Feng Zikai's words relieved everyone except him.
