"You have to prove that you are not just willful and do what you want to do."

“…… Good. He turned to care about her, "What happened to those resumes you submitted?" ”

"It's not that fast, but sometimes no news can be good news, maybe it's still under review."

"You can."

"You too!"

In the dormitory, Yuan Jing looked at You Xuezhen, who was squatting on the balcony with a coat and still trembling and talking on the phone, knocked on the door, and gestured to her: Come in and talk about the phone! Don't worry if I live or die!

On the day Grandma returned to Hong Kong Island, Meng Shilong came to pick her up from school first, she remembered something, and quickly asked him: "You didn't tell Grandma about us being together, did you?" ”

“…… No. He said slightly aggrieved, "You said don't say it yet, I didn't say it." ”

She poked him in the back soothingly, "I think it's a bit early to tell...... Not mentally prepared yet. ”

In her concept, love is a matter of two people, not to mention that they are really just the beginning.

Meng Shilong was not reluctant, but only asked, "Then can I hold your hand later?" And added, "Secretly." ”

You Xuezhen struggled: "To be on the safe side, bear with it!" ”

“……”

He turned his back, his shoulders slumped, and he looked like he was sighing.

I didn't have a date, I didn't tell my family, and I couldn't hold hands, it sounded like a shady affair.

You Xuezhen looked at his aggrieved back, and poked his back again, funny: "After sending grandma today, let's go on a date, okay?" ”

He paused, then immediately turned around: "Okay." ”

Therefore, when they went to pick up Grandma and drove to the airport, the two of them specially sat at a safe distance in the back row, with a long space in between, so that they looked as if they were just "friends" as before.

Grandma sat in the passenger seat bored, glanced in the rearview mirror, and had a teasing mind.

She said to Meng Shilong in Mandarin mixed with Cantonese: "You are not going to accompany me back to Hong Kong Island for two days." ”

Meng Shilong was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"That Aunt Qin, I heard that her granddaughter is back to work, I have seen photos, she is very beautiful, I think you can get to know each other."

Meng Shilong immediately glanced at You Xuezhen: "No need." ”

"Solution? It doesn't hurt to get acquainted. She said and went to take out her mobile phone, "I'll show you the photos first, you'll like it when you see it, anyway, I think it's a good match!" ”

You Xuezhen was holding back and didn't speak, but when she heard Grandma say that they were a match, her anger and blood rushed to her head, and she said impulsively: "No, Grandma!" ”

Grandma said curiously: "Why are you against it?" ”

You Xuezhen's voice was lowered, and she made a messy reason: "Meng Shilong, he ...... He was still young. ”

Grandma sneered: "I'm married at his age, and the stinky boy is not delayed!" ”

“……”

Meng Shilong touched his nose wordlessly, unable to justify his name, and quietly glanced at You Xuezhen again.

She scratched her forehead, almost opened her mouth to admit it, but held back cowardly.

Grandma didn't seem to notice the weirdness of the two people in the back row, she had already found the photo in her mobile phone and handed it back to Meng Shilong: "Look at it, are you so beautiful?" ”

Meng Shilong didn't want to take it, but Grandma was very insistent, so he reluctantly took it, glanced at it casually, and his eyes didn't slip away.

You Xuezhen watched from the sidelines, and saw that Meng Shilong actually dared to look at the photo twice, and suddenly became angry.

She quietly reached over and twisted his thigh.

Meng Shilong hissed in pain, and then looked away.

She smiled and asked, "Is it so beautiful?" ”

He honestly replied, "Yes." ”

These two words almost didn't make You Xuezhen vomit blood.

She grinded her teeth and leaned over: "It's so pretty...... I'll take a look too. ”

——On the screen of the mobile phone, it was a group photo of the three of them at Grandma's house at that Christmas.

Meng Shilong had a narrow smile on his face, pointed to You Xuezhen who was standing at the front and said, "Isn't this beautiful?" ”

You Xuezhen reacted, looked at Meng Shilong, and then looked at Grandma.

Grandma laughed: "I found out earlier, when Grandma has eaten for many years? ”

…… Is it too late to jump out of the window and get out of the car?

The car drove to the airport, Meng Shilong helped Grandma take the luggage, You Xuezhen grabbed Grandma, and the three of them quickly completed the check-in procedures and sent Grandma to the security checkpoint.

You Xuezhen let go of Grandma and waved goodbye to her reluctantly, Grandma was free and easy, and waved her hand impatiently to let them go: "Young people should hurry up and drag, let's go, it's enough." ”

She was not shy anymore when she was teased this time, and took Meng Shilong's hand in one go.

At the crowded airport, You Xuezhen promised loudly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of Meng Shilong!" ”

Meng Shilong was taken aback by her sudden movements, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words.

He shook You Xuezhen back and joked, "Then please leave it to you." ”

Grandma rolled her eyes: "It's really unbearable!" I'm leaving! Take care of whoever you like! With that, he crossed the security checkpoint without looking back.

The two watched Grandma's figure disappear at the security checkpoint, and then sat down at the coffee shop at the airport to wait for Grandma's plane to take off.

The flight information was refreshed every few seconds on the big screen in the center of the airport, and You Xuezhen looked up and saw the flight to Indonesia, and suddenly remembered that Meng Shilong was going to Indonesia soon.

"Did you start packing?"

"I've already bought the essentials online."

As he spoke, he opened the purchase page for her to check.

You Xuezhen saw that he didn't buy anything else, and the search bar was full of keywords such as "phone card", "phone card, fast network speed".

- Being able to keep in touch with her was a top priority for him in preparation for his trip.

You Xuezhen realized this, her heart softened, she took his mobile phone and typed three words in the search box: "You buy this first, I said that the volcano was very cold when I swiped Xiaohongshu." After speaking, he was busy turning on his mobile phone, "Forget it, I'll pick it, you won't buy clothes!" ”

Meng Shilong held his face with his hands, watched You Xuezhen let her move, and then smiled in a trance: "Then I want to thank myself for not buying clothes." ”

"What?"

"It's because of this that you and Yuan Jing found me at the beginning."

Otherwise, their story might have stopped on that Halloween.

"Not necessarily." You Xuezhen searched for the jacket with one hand, and reached over to play with his long fingers on the table with the other, "Your barbecue is so delicious, I will order it a few more times, it will definitely become cooked after coming and going, and the most important thing is that we have already met on Halloween." ”

"Hmm...... It seems that you still have to thank the rider who didn't take your order that day. ”

"Then I'm going to thank myself for finding only one candy that day and losing the game!"

"Games?"

"yes, we were playing a game that day, and whoever found the least amount of candy was going to have a late-night snack. That's what got the bad luck. ”

"So that's your only candy?"

"Yes."

"You gave me the only one?"

"Because you looked worse than I was!"

He laughed and said, "I think I'm lucky."

……

The airport is bustling with people, it's a busy world port, and with countless partings and reunions, no one cares about a couple sitting under the glass window of the mirror and spending the whole afternoon chatting about trivial things.

Outside the window, planes take off and land.

The flight carrying Grandma left, and half a month later, it also took off with Meng Shilong and Meng Dad.

You Xuezhen sat in the same position in the café, looking at the empty seat opposite, and drinking coffee on the empty table.

It had only been ten minutes since the plane had taken off, and she was already missing him.

But she ordered herself not to disturb Meng Shilong too much, this was a rare trip between him and his father, and she hoped that he would enjoy it without worry.

*

In the week that Meng Shilong went on a trip, Yuan Jing's internship work finally turned regular, and in order to celebrate, she rarely decided to hemorrhage in the group and invite everyone to eat hot pot. But she didn't change her nature of picking the door, and felt that it was too expensive to go to the store to eat hot pot, so she decided to rub Ye Yanbai at home and bring her own ingredients to cook.

Of course, all of this was first asked for You Xuezhen's meaning, she said that now they are still friends, of course there is no problem with eating, Yuan Jing only asked in the group if it was okay.

Ye gradually turned white and replied happily.

So, after a long absence, she came to Ye Wanbai's apartment with everyone to meet him again on such an occasion.

said that they wanted to be friends again, but there was still an embarrassment when they met again, like a rubber band that had been tied for a long time, a certain part had been loosened, and they couldn't go back to the past, but they could still tie their hair and bind their former relationship.

Ye Wanbai brought two bowls of small ingredients, one of which was handed to her inertly.

You Xuezhen's movements were sluggish, and she took the material and whispered thank you.

He smiled, turned his face to put the meat in the pot, and fought for the food in the pot as before, without giving in at all. Zuoqiu said that it was too much, senior brother, while busy sandwiching meat for Mao Suhe. Yuan Jing shouted, your hands are too fast, so let's leave a bite of meat for the person who treats you! You Xuezhen looked at everyone with a smile, and also reached into the chopsticks and joined in this hot pot battle without hesitation, but her mind was not entirely on the food, she glanced at her mobile phone after two bites, and put it down in disappointment.

Ye Wanbai noticed her movements and asked casually, "What?" Quarreled? ”

"Not really! He climbed the volcano today and told me that the signal might not be good. You Xuezhen said embarrassedly, "But I just can't help but want to see if he has sent a message." ”

Looking at her expression, Ye Wanbai quickly swept his eyes and sighed.

"Zhenzhen, you help me see if there are any dishes you brought, I remember it seems to have just been put in the refrigerator!"

Yuan Jing was embarrassed to go directly into the kitchen of Ye Yanbai's house, but she didn't dare to call him, so she had to ask You Xuezhen.

You Xuezhen got up: "I'll go take a look, and by the way, bring some more drinks." ”

As soon as she left, Ye Wanbai's chopsticks relaxed, and the other ingredients in the pot were fished away by Zuoqiu.

And suddenly, You Xuezhen's mobile phone on the desktop suddenly vibrate.
