We quietly followed behind Xu Mingyao's parents, but our hearts secretly cheered and applauded the beach and sea in front of us. The parking place was only a few hundred meters away from Xu Mingyao's small villa, and after a while, we walked to the iron fence outside the villa.

"Lao Lei, just put the things here, I'll wait for me to come out and move them, I'll trouble you!" Xu Mingyao's father turned his head to greet us, and I realized that the driver who was carrying us was using a small trailer to pull two large boxes of things towards us.

"You're welcome!" Without waiting for the driver to reply, Xu Mingyao's father had already handed the canvas bag in his hand to his wife, and his hands were free to help unload the goods.

"Let's go up first." Xu Mingyao's mother patted her husband on the shoulder, and then led us into the villa.

Before describing this small villa, I must first express my heartfelt respect to Xu Mingyao's father. First of all, as I mentioned before, he is an architect, but what I didn't expect was that he turned out to be a partner in an architectural design company, according to Xu Mingyao's mother, the bus we were riding today was borrowed by him from the company. The driver must have been his employee, but he treated his employees like friends, without the slightest boss pretension. How can such a person with both ability and political integrity not be respected? Secondly, he not only paid for all the expenses of the trip for us, but also put a lot of thought into planning the big and small matters of the trip. From the daily itinerary to the menu for each meal, he carefully arranges it in order to hope that we can have a carefree and happy weekend. How can such a father who sincerely considers his children not be respected?

"Those two boxes are ingredients." Probably seeing the confusion in Xu Mingyao's eyes, Xu Mingyao's mother explained: "You also know that your father doesn't know how to cook...... I told him not to buy it indiscriminately, but he wouldn't listen. ”

"He bought so many things, can we finish it......" Xu Mingyao muttered quietly.

"Not for you." Xu Mingyao's mother smiled dotingly.

"It's not that you don't know, I'm not a picky eater!" Xu Mingyao protested weakly.

"He's afraid of inadequate hospitality, so let you be in the ...... I can't hold my face in front of my classmates. After saying that, Xu Mingyao's mother winked at Xingyuan, and then laughed sneeringly.

“…… I'm going to help him. Seeing everyone pursing their lips and smiling tacitly, Xu Mingyao's face was flushed, and he ran out like a smoke.

I have always admired Xu Mingyao's wisdom, heartiness and tolerance, and it is only now that I understand that what I should really envy is that he has such perfect parents. And what is even more unfair is that he also has a perfect partner, and even a perfect life that can be predicted......

As for my friend Xingyuan, she has and will have more than that. Luckily, the luckiest girl in the world happens to be the kindest girl in the world, and no one resents her for having the greatest happiness in the world, at least I firmly believe in it......

Well, let's get down to business. As Xu Mingyao introduced before, the small villa is a red brick building, which looks a little old. Its outer wall has half a creeper, the white paint on the inner wall is a little yellow, and the furniture placed inside is all rattan products, revealing a simple charm everywhere. Since the balcony is facing the beach and the sea, the sea breeze mixed with the slight fishy smell constantly sends a cool breath, even in the hot summer, we don't feel unbearable at all when we stay inside. For me, the biggest advantage of living close to the beach and the sea is that we can see the sunrise or sunset at sea level from a great vantage point, which makes me excited to have never been to the beach.

There is only one suite on each floor of the villa, and Xu Mingyao's mother put us on the fourth floor, and she told us that the boys would sleep on the second floor and the couple would sleep on the third floor. In other words, whoever tries to go to a room that doesn't belong to them at night will inevitably be discovered. After thanking Xu Mingyao's mother, we walked into the room with our respective luggage. The room was boxy and looked more spacious than we expected. Two double beds are placed in the best position in the room, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing in plenty of sunlight and sea breezes. The corner of the living room, on the other hand, is lit by a chandelier, as another window in the room is allocated to the bathroom. Five girls, two double beds, a sofa, how to divide it is obvious how to distribute. To be honest, I'm glad that the fifth girl is Li Jiamin, if it were someone else, maybe I would have to become the fifth girl. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a chill down my spine. I hurriedly let go of this terrible thought and forced myself to regain my joyful mood. Xingyuan made the bed and cast a gentle look at me. I smiled back, and the remaining uneasiness in my heart disappeared without a trace. Xingyuan won't bear to let me be alone, she won't bear to make me feel wronged...... I'm a firm believer in that......

By the time everyone had settled down, the clock had turned to eleven o'clock. We walked back to the first floor with leisurely steps and found Xu Mingyao's family of three busy in the open kitchen.

"You guys have a good rest first, and lunch will be right away!" Xu Mingyao's mother smiled at us with a pleasant face.

"There are books and board games on the shelves." Xu Mingyao hurriedly ran over, opened the rattan cabinet standing opposite the sofa for us, and then hurried back to the kitchen.

"Is there a place for me?" Xingyuan quietly walked up to him, grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked in a whisper.

"Or ...... Are you washing vegetables with me? Xu Mingyao smiled shyly.

"Okay!" Xingyuan took off the chain on her wrist and handed it to Xu Mingyao, and then began to pick up vegetable leaves.

"Then I'll cut the meat...... So as not to disturb you! Xu Mingyao's father happily gave up the place of the washbasin and took the knife from his wife.

"Don't laugh at them too often!" Seeing Xu Mingyao shyly lowering his head, embarrassed and pitiful, Xu Mingyao's mother couldn't help but speak up: "If you ruin other people's good deeds, I can't spare you!" ”

"It doesn't exist!" Xu Mingyao's father immediately put away his smiling face and shouted seriously.

The living room is just across the kitchen from Xu, so it can be seen that Xu Mingyao's parents don't care about the jokes we hear from them. And their unconventional attitude really makes us feel a little less inhibited. I longed for this atmosphere of joy and cooperation, and I wanted to join them, but I knew very well that I shouldn't be involved, the four of them were a harmonious family, and I was nothing.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, we decided to pass the time in a game of flying chess, which we hadn't touched for a long time. In terms of numbers, it wasn't a good choice because there were five of us. Fortunately, everyone was in a good mood, and Xin Tian reluctantly agreed to be in a group with Yang Fan, so that Li Jiamin was able to participate in it. Anyone who knows how to play flying chess knows that one of the reasons why it's not a good choice is that in order to be the fastest to reach the finish line, you have to "play hard" against your playmates. Even if it is only done occasionally, it can still hurt the friendship between each other to some extent. It is undeniable that not many people will not mind at all that the chess pieces they have worked so hard to "take off" are "eaten". The game is all about luck, winning or losing is a matter of blame, but it is another thing to be targeted. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xin Tian and Yu Menghan will be merciful to each other and me, but they are "killing everything" to Li Jiamin. Seeing that Xin Tian and Yang Fan were only one step away from winning, but Li Jiamin didn't even "take off" a single move, I felt very uncomfortable. I stole a glance at her and found that her eyes were red again, and Xingyuan, who was smiling like a flower in the kitchen, still had no time to notice how embarrassed and uncomfortable she was in the living room.
