Chapter 23: No Malice
This meal was quite embarrassing, maybe Xu Lejin felt embarrassed unilaterally, after all, Xiao Qingzhan and his parents, even including that Wan'er, they all ate and chatted happily.
Xu Lejin felt that she was redundant, she seemed to be an outsider.
"Eat more", Xiao Qingzhan was at ease, talking to his parents, and he was able to bring a piece of food to Xu Lejin by the way.
Xu Lejin looked at the dishes in the bowl in front of him, and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qingzhan, but Xiao Qingzhan didn't look at her.
Xu Lejin absentmindedly poked the dish that Xiao Qingzhan gave her, and lowered her eyes to herself and was bored.
"How old is Ah Jin?" Suddenly mentioned his name, Xu Lejin subconsciously raised his eyes, looking confused.
This was asked by Xiao's mother, who was looking at her with a smile at the moment, but no matter how she looked at it, that kind of smiling face was like a politeness to a distant relative's child who had not been seen for a long time.
"Oh, sophomore", Xu Lejin bit his lip, as if he was being dragged into this out-of-place chat atmosphere.
"Finish eating", as if seeing through her pretending to be calm and helpless, Xiao Qingzhan suddenly raised his hand and rubbed her hair, his tone soft.
Xiao's mother's brows frowned slightly, and when she turned her head, she could see Wan'er's gaze falling on Xiao Qingzhan's hand rubbing Xu Lejin's hand.
"Ah Jin is the child of an old friend of ours, and he has been with Ah Zhan since he was a child, so he can take care of him", Xiao's mother looked at Wan'er, although no one asked, but she explained by herself.
Xiao Qingzhan wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't refute his mother on such an occasion.
He turned his eyes to look at Xu Lejin, Xu Lejin lowered his eyes and looked at the bowl, although he may have tried to hide it, Xiao Qingzhan could see that she was dissatisfied or lost at the moment.
Such an explanation is really unnecessary, and besides, it is not objective.
His parents don't have much friendship with Xu Lejin's parents, if it weren't for his relationship with Xu Jiale, they probably wouldn't know each other.
The explanation with a little lie will make Xu Lejin embarrassed, as if she doesn't even deserve her true identity.
Xu Lejin just lowered her eyes, in fact, her character, the more inferior she was, the more restrained she became, and she only dared to shout at him Xiao Qingzhan.
Xiao Qingzhan reached out and shook her hand under the table.
Xu Lejin raised his eyes to look at him, looking aggrieved, "I'm full, go to the bathroom." ”
"I'll send you over", Xiao Qingzhan pinched her palm, slightly reassured.
"I'll go, I just want to go, I'll take my sister there", Wan'er stood up suddenly, and then walked to Xu Lejin's side with a smile.
Xu Lejin smiled, and then got up.
Xu Lejin came out of the cubicle, Wan'er was washing her hands, washing slowly, as if she was waiting for her.
Xu Lejin also went over to wash his hands, rubbed it a few times, shook it mercilessly, and shook the water in the mirror.
"I heard Brother Zhan say that I took you on vacation two days ago, isn't it fun?" Wan'er turned off the water and looked at her.
Xu Lejin didn't know what Wan'er was trying to say, whether it was true or false, anyway, she didn't like Wan'er herself, so she naturally substituted her into the role of a rival in love, so she really couldn't answer her calmly.
"There's nothing fun about it, if you want to know the details, just ask him yourself."
Wan'er's face froze, a little embarrassed.
"Let's go", Xu Lejin didn't have anything to do, and he had already raised his feet and left.
When they returned to the private room, Xu Lejin and Wan'er didn't eat anymore, so they almost paid the bill and left.
After leaving the hotel together, Xiao Qingzhan looked at his parents, "Mom, Dad, go live with me today." ”
"No, I'm still staying in a hotel with your mother, you're free, just send Wan'er back", Xiao's father smiled and took Xiao's mother's hand, "I'll take two steps with your mother to eliminate food, take a taxi for a while, don't worry about us." ”
His parents are quite open-minded and independent, what should Xiao Qingzhan do, they don't need to disturb his life and laws when they come back.
"Okay", Xiao Qingzhan knew that he couldn't resist his parents, not to mention that they were afraid that the drunkard didn't mean to drink at the moment, and he would definitely not want to mix with his next trip.
"I'll look for you at the hotel later", Xiao Qingzhan said as he walked to the car, it was necessary to talk later.
The parents nodded.
Xiao Qingzhan opened the back door for Wan'er, and only looked at Xu Lejin when she got into the car.
Xu Lejin looked away, and then consciously got into the co-pilot seat.
It was very quiet along the way, Xu Lejin yawned when he got in the car, and he was groggy and about to fall asleep, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Qingzhan, "Send me back first, I'm sleepy." ”
"Okay", Xiao Qingzhan turned his head to look at her and smiled.
Subconscious spoiling is still very strong, but many emotions are most easily ignored because they have existed for too long and for too many years.
The car quickly stopped at Xu Lejin's current residence, and when Xu Lejin got out of the car, Xiao Qingzhan also got out of the car, took the luggage from the trunk for her, and smiled when he pushed it to her, "Remember to throw away the washing machine first, don't wait for tomorrow to stink." ”
Xiao Qingzhan still knows her quite well, and she knows that she must have all her clothes stuffed together.
Xu Lejin looked at him and nodded quietly, as if he was full of worries.
Looking at Xu Lejin like this, Xiao Qingzhan felt a little distressed, he smiled, raised his hand and pinched her face, "Go, in two days, I will accompany you to dinner." ”
Xu Lejin understood what he meant, his parents were here these days, Xiao Qingzhan naturally still had to accompany them, no matter how independent and enlightened his parents were, how could they not want their sons.
Xu Lejin pushed the luggage and turned around, Wan'er poked her head out of the car window, but she didn't have time to say hello, Xu Lejin was already gone.
Xiao Qingzhan watched Xu Lejin's figure disappear before returning to the car again.
As soon as I got in the car, I heard Wan'er's voice, "I'm so envious, you have a really good relationship with your sister." ”
Xiao Qingzhan turned his head to look at her, hesitated for two seconds, and still spoke, "Wan'er, there are some things, I'm sorry, you and my parents mean, you and I both understand, they want to match, but ......"
"But you're not happy with me?" Seeing Xiao Qingzhan's suddenly serious expression, Wan'er could guess it.
"That's not what it means, you're good, it's just ...... May not be a good fit. ”
Xiao Qingzhan didn't know how to express it for a while, but in fact, Wan'er was really good, and there was nothing to choose from in all aspects.
He was by no means disdainful of her, but, as it was, was not the result he wanted.
Wan'er looked at him, suddenly smiled, raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the window, and knew in her heart, "Your sister doesn't like me?" ”
Xu Lejin's hostility towards her is not unfelt, she is not stupid, she has been aware of it since she first saw her.
Xiao Qingzhan looked at her, but did not deny it, but apologized very sincerely.
"I'm sorry, she's just more willful and not malicious."
