Chapter 54: Commitments

The Spring Festival is coming, and lanterns and Chinese knots are hung all over this small city. People happily bought what they wanted, and the cold was scared off by their enthusiasm. The sound of firecrackers came and went, and it seemed that these firecrackers did not need to be purchased at any cost.

According to Chinese customs, the dishes on the dinner table on the last day of the year must be hearty, which means a good harvest this year and anticipation for next year. Of course, this day is also the busiest day for mobile phones, "I wish you a happy new year in advance." The text messages were sent out one by one, and then received one by one.

Chu Han suddenly felt that he had a lot more friends all of a sudden, but he didn't worry about the text message fee, because in anyone's eyes, having more friends is a good thing. But there was one person who made Chu Han hesitate, and she was Han Xue. After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Han decided to send a message to Han Xue: "Han Xue, I wish you a happy New Year in advance, and I hope you will be happy next year." ”

After the short text message was sent, Chu Han felt a sense of relief, because this was the first time he had contacted Han Xue since leaving school. Soon he got Han Xue's reply: "Thank you, Chu Han also wishes you a happy New Year in advance, greets my uncle and aunt for me, and wishes them good health and all their wishes." ”

Chu Han, who saw Han Xue's reply, suddenly had an impulse in his heart, that is, he wanted to call Han Xue. If he doesn't keep in touch, Chu Han should be able to forget about Han Xue, but if there is a little contact, even a text message will evoke Chu Han's memories of Han Xue. Of course, this is also Chu Han's biggest weakness, and he can't afford to put it down.

Chu Han found the familiar name in the phone number book, and at this moment he didn't have the courage to click the call button, the mobile phone was sweating in his hand, and he still didn't have the courage to dial the phone out.

"Chu Han, come out to eat. The mother who was ready for the meal shouted at Chu Han's room.

"Oh, here we are. Chu Han put his phone on the bed, and he walked out, thinking that he could use the meal time to think about whether he should make this call again.

"Come and sit down and see the food is hearty today?" said Dad impatiently, because there was another fish he made today.

"Hmm. Sumptuous. ”

"Then eat more, the main thing is to eat the fish that Dad made, this time it will definitely be better than the last time. ”

"Well, Mom and Dad have worked hard. ”

"Our family Chu Han is really mature. We all know that we are grateful. Hearing Chu Han's words, my mother said with some excitement.

"yes, yes. ”

Chu Han began to eat, feeding the food into his mouth one by one, but there was a fierce ideological struggle going on in his mind: "Should I call Han Xue, what if I beat Han Xue and regain my forgotten feelings?" What if Han Xue is really on the wrong path?"

"Chu Han, do you have something on your mind?" the attentive mother asked when she saw Chu Han's appearance.

"Nope. ”

"Tell me and your dad and see if we can help you?"

"Not really. ”

"Hehe, you lied to your mother. ”

"Oh, let's eat. Chu Han was a little impatient.

"You kid, what kind of attitude do you have?" Chu Han's father couldn't stand Chu Han's attitude.

"Okay, you eat, what's the matter with you, I'll talk to the child, don't interject. ”

"Good. I won't say anything. Dad ate a little helplessly.

"Mom, don't ask, let's eat. ”

"Well, okay, Mom won't ask, let's eat. ”

A hearty meal and a bad mood mix together, and the results can be imagined. Soon Chu Han couldn't eat anymore, he stood up and said to his parents, "I'm full, I'll go rest for a while." ”

"Okay. ”

Chu Han, who returned to the room, finally mustered up the courage to dial the phone out, because he figured it out. He and Han Xue have always been ordinary friends, and of course his thoughts are just his thoughts. The moment the phone was connected, Chu Han didn't know what to say: "Han Xue, how are you?"

"Well, I'm fine. ”

"Oh. By the way, Happy New Year. ”

"Didn't you send a message just now?"

"Oh, yes, yes. ”

"How are you doing at home?"

"Hmm. ”

"Did you see Xia Lan?"

"Hmm. ”

"Congratulations. ”

"Oh, thanks. ”

"Anything else?"

"No more. Wait a minute, there is. Where are you now?"

"At home. ”

"Oh, when did you go back?"

"Yesterday. Back to school the day after tomorrow. ”

"So have you been at the school the other day?"

"Hmm. ”

"What are you doing over there?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"No, I want to tell you how you're doing over there?"

"It has nothing to do with you. ”

"No, Han Xue, are you still angry with me?"

"Why should I be angry with you, you let me go home, won't I come back?"

"Han Xue, don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

"Hang up if there's nothing else to do. ”

"Are you with Wan Fei?" Chu Han finally said what he wanted to ask, because he was really afraid that Han Xue would hang up the phone.

"I'll tell you again, it's nothing to do with you. ”

"Han Xue, haven't you seen what kind of person Wan Fei is?"

"Hehe, didn't I even see you clearly?"

Han Xue's words made Chu Han have nothing to say at all, because Chu Han knew in his heart that he was really inferior to Wan Fei when it came to dealing with Han Xue's feelings.

"It's okay, just hang up. ”

"Han Xue......" When Chu Han wanted to say something again, the phone had already hung up. However, for Chu Han, although the hanging up of the phone made him feel guilty for Han Xue, it also completely relieved him, because Han Xue had completely regarded himself as an ordinary friend, even an ordinary friend who had to be too stranger.

Chu Han was lying on the bed, and when the whole city was in a lively atmosphere, he fell asleep quietly. I don't know how long it took for Chu Han to be woken up by the phone, he took the phone to his eyes and saw a name that made him happy. He hurriedly picked it up: "Hello Xia Lan." ”

"Chu Han, what are you busy with?"

"Sleep. ”

"Can you sleep today?"

"A little sleepy, I fell asleep. ”

"Do you have a cold?"

"No, hehe, what is Xia Lan busy with today?"

"I went shopping with my mom and dad. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

"Chu Han. I've decided to go to your house for dinner the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes, yes, welcome. My mom couldn't wait. ”

"Hehe, you must not let Auntie be too troublesome. ”

"No, it won't. ”

"Well, that's it, I'll see you the night after tomorrow. ”

"Okay. ”

I don't know if it was after sleeping that made Chu Han feel energetic or Xia Lan's phone call made him feel energetic, in short, he felt energetic now. He opened the door and walked into the living room. When he saw his parents watching TV, he sat down next to him.

"What, you've slept enough?" asked Dad.

"Hmm. ”

"You're okay to stay with us for a while. ”

"Got it. ”

"You said you went home to either go out to play or sleep, do you feel like you have nothing to say to us? ”

"Okay, as soon as the child wakes up, you can count it down and watch your TV. His father's reproach was blocked back by his mother, which made Chu Han a little proud.

"Chu Han, I heard your phone ring just now, who called?"

"Xia Lan. ”

"Oh, I think so. Look at you happy. ”

"Mom, Xia Lan will come to our house the night after tomorrow. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then I'm going to get ready. ”

"Hmm. ”

The father who was listening to it on the side smiled, he didn't need to speak, and Chu Han also understood why he was happy. Time has to wait, but the two days of waiting are the busiest two days, Chu Han and his parents went back to their hometown to pay New Year's greetings to their neighbors. At noon on the second day of the new year, many relatives came to the house, and two-thirds of the meals on a large table were wiped out.

"Chu Han, what time does Xia Lan arrive?" asked the mother who saw off her relatives.

"I don't know, I'll call her in a moment. ”

"Well, I'll prepare the dishes right away. ”

"You can rest for a while. It's still early. ”

"It's okay, you go and call, let her come early, it's better to come now. I can talk to her for a while. ”

"Okay, I'll call. ”

Chu Han walked into her room and called Xia Lan, Xia Lan did not disappoint Chu Han, of course, she did not disappoint Chu Han's mother, she hung up the phone and set off.

With Xia Lan's arrival, Chu Han didn't know why. Xia Lan's visit alone made her parents busier than so many relatives at noon. Of course, the busiest thing is really my father, because my mother's busyness is just chatting with Xia Lan.

"Kid, you're so good-looking. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, for the compliment. ”

"Here, let's eat an apple first. ”

"I don't eat anymore, it's a little cold. ”

"Chu Han, soak Xia Lan in boiling water. ”

"Mom, if Xia Lan doesn't want to eat it, don't embarrass her. ”

"You kid, Xia Lan is a guest, how can you not take care of it. Chu Han's mother seemed to be a little unhappy with Chu Han's attitude.

"Auntie, I really don't want to eat it. ”

"Okay, then you have a banana. ”

"This ......"

"Eat. ”

"Okay, I'll eat. ”

"That's right, kid, what does your dad do?"

"Oh, working in taxes. ”

"Ouch, that's amazing, civil servant. ”

"Huh. ”

"What about your mother?"

"My mom was a teacher. ”

"No wonder, only intellectuals can train children so well. ”

"Huh. Xia Lan smiled. Seeing that Xia Lan was a little uninterested in her aunt's words now, Chu Han hurriedly said, "Mom, you go cook." ”

"Isn't that what your dad is doing?"

"Xia Lan came this time to eat the food you cooked. ”

"Really, Xia Lan?"

"Hmm. ”

"Okay, Auntie will make it for you, you eat some fruit first, and it will be fine right away." Chu Han's mother finally stopped chatting with Xia Lan, and when she saw her mother go to the kitchen, Chu Han and Xia Lan looked at each other and laughed.

With the sumptuous dinner on the table, Xia Lan and Chu Han also sat on the table, of course, the dishes in front of her were already full of Chu Han's mother. "Eat fast, kid, eat more. Chu Han's mother is still persuading.

"Well, Auntie's cooking is delicious. Xia Lan complimented while eating.

"Well, if it's delicious, you come every day, and Auntie makes it for you every day. “

"Okay. ”

"It's better to be my daughter-in-law, so you don't have to run around anymore, haha. ”

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Mom's words really made Chu Han break out in a cold sweat, which made Xia Lan very embarrassed.

"Oh, look at Auntie's mouth, eat quickly. Chu Han's mother relieved herself and everyone.

The dinner ended in a lively situation, Chu Han sent Xia Lan home, Xia Lan stood at the door of her house and said to Chu Han: "Chu Han, are you willing to let Auntie cook for me?"

"Of course. ”

"I'm talking about doing it every day. ”

"Xia Lan, what do you mean?" Chu Han was surprised again.

"Yes, that's what I meant. ”

"En. Chu Han nodded wildly.

"Then you can't be nice to other girls when you go back to school. ”

"Definitely not, I just like you. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chu Han, who was driving home, had a happy smile on his face all the time, Xia Lan had already given him the answer he wanted, of course, what he needed to pay was very simple, that is, he was not allowed to approach any girl again. (To be continued.) )
