"Jin'er, I know that you got off work early today, and your mother is waiting for you after cooking!"

Xia Jin, who was contemplating all the way, unconsciously walked downstairs to her house but didn't know it, and suddenly woke up when her mother shouted, "Mom, why are you downstairs?" ”

"I saw that you haven't come back yet, so I came downstairs to pick you up, why is your face so red? Having trouble working today? Seeing you walking so slowly, it seems like you have something on your mind. Mother looked at Xia Hibiscus carefully.

"Oh, no, I'm fine, but I suddenly felt comfortable walking down the street on a summer evening, and I couldn't help but slow down." Xia Jin tried her best to hide her inner shyness and uneasiness.

During the meal, Xia's mother was worried about inviting Zhang Hao again, Xia Jin put her arm around Xia's mother's shoulders and said, "Save your worries, Zhang Hao said that he will come over after work, hard work!" ”

"He promised to come to our house? That's great! For her daughter's business, my mother is willing, not hard! Xia Mu blossomed when she heard the music.

Early the next morning, Xia's father accompanied Xia's mother to the vegetable market, and bought a basket of fresh chicken, duck, fish, shrimp and crabs, Xia's father helped to help, Xia's mother chef was busy all day, and finally finished making a table of delicious dishes, glanced at the clock, and saw that her daughter was about to go home, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, Xia's mother ran to the balcony in a hurry, and looked at the intersection with her eyes.

After waiting for ten minutes, Xia Mu seemed to have waited for half a century, looking at the time from time to time. Suddenly, a motorcycle carrying a girl holding flowers stopped downstairs, the girl got out of the car and took off the pink helmet on her head, revealing a long flowing hair, Xia Mu found out that it was her daughter, and quickly shouted to the father and son in the house: "They are back!" Open the door! ”

Xia's mother and Xia's father brought the dishes to the table, Xia Zi stood by the door and opened the door when he heard footsteps, and the aroma of the food on the table suddenly drifted out of the door.

"Hello uncles and aunts! I'm Zhang Hao! ”

With short hair black and shiny, an ordinary white shirt worn on Zhang Hao's body, he looked particularly capable and neat, his figure appeared taller and straighter, handsome and chic, Xia Mu looked full of joy in her eyes, and quickly said, "Welcome, welcome!" Come and come, and bring any gifts. ”

Xia Zi took the fruit basket in Zhang Hao's hand and said, "Welcome, welcome!" I'm Xia Zi, Xia Jin's younger brother! ”

Zhang Hao took a look, wasn't this the man who picked up Xia Jin from work that day? It turned out to be her younger brother, who hurriedly smiled and bowed his head.

Zhang Hao sniffed, "Be careful, not respectful!" Auntie's cooking skills are so good, I can smell the food from afar! ”

"This kid is really good at talking, please come inside!"

After a while of greetings, he began to eat, at the dinner table, Zhang Hao didn't expect Xia's mother to be very enthusiastic about him, and kept putting vegetables in his bowl, all of which were piled up into a small mountain, and asked this and that like checking the household registration, Zhang Hao was surprised and happy in his heart, it seemed that this was not like a simple thank-you banquet, but it was the feeling of the hairy foot son-in-law coming to the door for the first time, and he blushed embarrassedly.

And Xia Jin's face was also flushed at this time, her mother's question made her extremely embarrassed, and it didn't work at all to give her mother a look, and finally she had to say: "Mom, do you invite someone to dinner, or check your household registration?" Xia Mu stopped a series of questions, and the scene was so embarrassing that the air froze.

And then, this old and young, Father Xia and Zhang Hao, who used to be soldiers, have a common topic, Zhang Hao is no longer so restrained, from Morse Code to the Air Force, from the Korean War to the Sino-Indian confrontation, from not drinking to drinking red-faced, it can be seen that Father Xia likes Zhang Hao very much.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, after the two of them came down from the wine table, Zhang Hao accidentally saw Xia's father's chessboard, and said, "Uncle, do you want me to accompany you to kill a game?" ”

Father Xia smiled when he heard this: "Great! I'm worried that there is no one to fight. Then Zhang Hao played against Xia's father.

Xia Zi teased on the side: "Dad, congratulations on finally ending your days of playing chess alone!" Zhang Hao inadvertently raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and snickered alone, just being looked at by Xia Hibiscus, who was sitting on pins and needles on the side, glared at Xia Zi, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

After a few rounds of fighting with Xia's father, Zhang Hao lost skillfully every time, but it was only a fraction of a second, which not only made Xia's father feel faced, but also showed his level, which was deeply liked by Xia's father, and finally due to the time relationship, Xia's father was still a little unfinished when he left, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and said again and again: "Xiao Zhang, come to play at home with Jin'er when you rest!" ”

Zhang Hao replied with a warm and polite smile: "Okay, uncle, I'll play chess with you next time I rest." But her eyes looked at Xia Jin, and she saw that she was looking at herself with a flushed face, and when her eyes met, she quickly shifted her gaze and pretended to look away.

Xia Mu saw it in her eyes and said with a smile: "Jin'er, you go and send Xiao Zhang." ”

"Oh!"

Bidding farewell to Xia's father and mother, Xia Jin and Zhang Hao went downstairs together. Zhang Hao really wanted to stay alone with Xia Jin for a while, "Xiao Jin, let's go around in the car!" ”

Xia Jin looked down at the road, and wanted to go, but she said, "It's not early, you better go back first!" ”

"It's only half past nine, and I haven't gotten off work yet! Go ahead! Zhang Hao smiled and tilted his head to look up from under Xia Jin's eyes.

His charming peach blossom eyes are good-looking without smiling, and a smile makes people's hearts pound, Xia Jin's heart has a warm flow, and he whispered shyly, "Okay!" ”

Seeing Xia Jin's agreement, Zhang Hao happily took out the pink helmet for Xia Jin to put on, and then put on the helmet himself, and after Xia Jin sat up, Zhang Hao said gently: "Xiao Jin, hold my waist tightly." ”

Xia Jin has been embarrassed and blushing because of Xia's mother's words since dinner, and at the same time seeing that Zhang Hao is deeply loved by his parents and feels shy, after going downstairs by the cool summer breeze at night, his face is not as hot as before, at this time Zhang Hao's magnetic voice let him hug his waist, suddenly, the red cloud that was about to go flew back to Xia Jin's face, sitting behind Zhang Hao, she was like the first time to ride a motorcycle, both nervous and happy, obediently put his hands gently on his waist, through the thin clothes, you can touch his extremely elastic skin, There seemed to be a fawn scurrying in her arms.

The warm and boneless hands were just lightly placed on their waists, but they were like a stream of electricity reaching Zhang Hao's heart, his heart was beating faster, his face was red to the root of his ears, fortunately wearing a helmet, Zhang Hao started the car.

Five minutes later, when he arrived at the central square, Zhang Hao parked the car in the parking space, just in time for the aunts dancing in the square just turned off the music and finished dancing, the crowd began to disperse, looking at the huge team, Zhang Hao hurriedly protected Xia Jin behind him, for fear that she would be injured by mistake, and after the large army dispersed, the square was also a lot quieter, and the two found a place with fewer people to sit down.

Zhang Hao leaned forward and looked at Xia Jin with a smile in his eyes, "Xiao Hibiscus, uncle and aunt seem to have a good impression of me!" ”

"That's because you're going to be nice and like."

"Like. So do you like me? Zhang Hao turned his head sideways, his bright eyes seemed to be burning, and he stared at Xia Jin's eyes without turning his eyes.

“。。。” The day was already hot, and it was hard to calm down the mood, because of these words, the fire in his heart was ignited, Xia Jin didn't dare to meet the affectionate gaze, and quickly lowered his eyebrows, and lightly opened his lips, but he didn't make a sound, and it was difficult to hide the shyness.

The two of them sat quietly like this, and although they did not speak, they made people feel at ease and at ease. In the end, it was Xia Jin who broke the silence: "Zhang Hao, it's not early, go back quickly, I'll go to work tomorrow." ”

"Alright! Listen to Hibiscus. Zhang Hao sent Xia Jin back to the door before he was willing to leave with peace of mind.

After returning home, Xia Hibiscus took a bath, lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, and the words that Zhang Hao asked in the square echoed in his ears again, yes, do you like him?

Although I have known him for more than a year, in addition to dealing with him at work, I don't seem to have much contact in private, but through work, I also know his character better, wise, kind and responsible, especially the unique temperament of the soldier on his body is particularly attractive, just because after experiencing the emotional change with Zhao Yixuan, he was afraid of being hurt again, so he quietly locked the door of his heart and devoted himself to work, there is a tacit understanding at work, and I also have a good impression of myself, do you want to open the door of your heart?

At this time, suddenly a message came from WeChat, and when I opened it, it was Zhang Hao, "Xiao Jin, have you slept?" ”

"Not yet. Are you home? Xia Jin just pressed send, and immediately received another reply: "It's home, it's just... I don't think I can come to work tomorrow. ”

Xia Jin sat up from the bed in shock, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she quickly replied: "Huh? What happened? ”

"It's just one thing in my heart. Can't sleep. ”

Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the back of the bed, "What's wrong?" What's on your mind? ”

Zhang Hao replied: "Your friendship with me has come to an end. ”

"Why?" Xia Jin tensed again.

Zhang Hao's message replied in seconds, and he sent two messages in a row, "It's time to start love!" ”

"When I asked you in the square at night, you didn't answer me, so I couldn't sleep."

Xia Jin's face began to heat up, but she deliberately said, "What are you asking?" I forgot. ”

"Hibiscus, do you like me?"

Looking at the simple seven words on the mobile phone screen, Xia Jin's heart was pounding, and her thinking was completely confused. Suddenly, I received another message on my phone, "It looks like I'm going to have to be absent from work tomorrow." ”

"I like it!" Xia Jin typed and deleted, and then typed again, repeating it several times, just then, the door rang, Xia Jin quickly hid her phone in the quilt, "Jin'er, you still haven't slept yet, can you get up tomorrow morning?" ”

"Uh-huh, I'll just sleep!" Xia Jin turned off the light and lay down under the quilt.

After her mother went out and closed the door, Xia Jin took out the mobile phone hidden in the quilt and took a look, only to see that the word "like" had been sent. Next, Zhang Hao replied with two.

"Hibiscus, I like you! Although we met very late, I will be with you for a long time! ”

"Hibiscus, if it rains tonight, can I borrow your dream to avoid it?"

Xia Jin looked at these words, her face was frighteningly hot, and she was afraid that he would say anything more, so she hurriedly replied: "I want to sleep, may you have a good dream too!" ”

"Good night, Hibiscus!"

"Good night!" Xia Jin's heart couldn't be calm for a long time, you said you liked me, Zhao Yixuan loved me very much, but what was the result? My heart began to ache again.

The two of them were destined to have insomnia this night.

In a daze, Xia Jin and Zhang Hao walked hand in hand in the moonlight...
