Yi Sisi insisted on driving Xu Xiangyang to the airport in the second-hand Kia she bought for $5,000. Xu Xiangxuan was still sitting in the co-pilot as an instructor.
There were many small situations along the way, and Xu Xiangxuan's paralyzed face kept twitching, and he sternly replaced declarative and imperative sentences with rhetorical questions and exclamation sentences:
"Why don't you change the lane? Turn left after a while, do you know that?"
"Yi Sisi, drive slowly!"
Yi Sisi rolled her eyes, ignoring Xu Xiangxuan's anger. Xu Xiangyang sat in the back seat and giggled non-stop, knowing that this was their unique way of getting along.
"Xiang Xuan, don't bark. As a Chinese female driver, I'm sorry for the long history and tradition if something happens."
Yi Sisi used her "killer mace" again, as long as she called out the word "Xiang Xuan" softly, Xu Xiangxuan would lose his position, and there was nothing he could do about her. At this time, Xu Xiangxuan's face was flushed red, and he didn't know whether he was shy from being called "Xiangxuan" or angry at Yi Sisi's "historical tradition".
Arriving safely at the airport, Xu Xiangyang pulled his brother aside and whispered. Yi Sisi stole a glance at Xu Xiangxuan's face that was sometimes ecstatic and sometimes dark, and his heart was clear: Xu Xiangyang must have seen that his attitude had changed, and he was trying to persuade his brother to make a move as soon as possible, and he would succeed in no time.
Yi Sisi was a little confused, she knew that she had a strong affection for Xu Xiangxuan, but there was always something in her heart that she couldn't let go. Looking at the two good brothers who were whispering, Yi Sisi was overwhelmed with shame.
At night, Yi Sisi video chats with her parents. As soon as the video was turned on, a whole family of people, old and young, gathered around enthusiastically, filling the entire computer screen.
"Baby, your cousin is back with your brother-in-law and nephew, and your cousin is also at home on vacation. Now the whole family is here, so you are the only one missing."
"It's so lively at home, mom, I'll talk to my grandparents first."
Yi's mother helped her grandpa to sit in front of the computer, and her grandma also bent over to his side. Yi Sisi could see that her grandma was almost pressing her face to the screen, as if this would allow her to get closer to her.
Yi Sisi raised the volume, trying to let the elders whose ears were not so sensitive hear her greeting clearly. Grandpa's trembling body couldn't stop nodding, and he didn't care what Yi Sisi asked, he just kept saying that he was fine and was looking forward to her coming home. Grandma added from the side: "Hurry up and bring a boyfriend back after Chinese New Year, your cousin got married at your age."
When Yi Sisi heard this, a figure could not help appearing in his mind, and he smiled shyly: "Grandma, I will do my best."
Next, the whole family continued to tirelessly persuade Yi Sisi to find a boyfriend earlier, and told her to take care of her body. The cousin even had a whim, and taught the little nephew who had just learned to speak: "Bring your boyfriend home."
Listening to the young nephew's immature, jerky and ambiguous voice, Yi Sisi's heart melted, and she quickly agreed and blew him a big kiss.
Yi's mother sat down, looked at Yi Sisi's slightly worried smile in the video, and said earnestly: "Grandpa's health is indeed not as good as before, his ears are back, and he can't walk steadily. But you don't have to worry, the whole family is here. Come back early and buy a ticket for the winter vacation now. My family will ask you to bring a boyfriend for the New Year. I don¡¯t think you need to be too impatient. Now you have to slowly choose the person who will live your life in the future: you don¡¯t need to care too much about looks and height, and you don¡¯t need to care about family conditions. Great, the most important thing is character and dedication"
Yi Sisi nodded, interrupting her mother's long-winded words: "Mom, I know."
Yi's mother smiled: "I see from your appearance, there must be someone to choose."
"Mom" Yi Sisi coquettishly said, "Where is it? It's just that they have some good feelings for each other."
Mother Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at Yi Sisi again with a little more warning: "Baby, remember to keep your eyes open. You are outside alone. If you get hurt, there is nothing we can do. If you have any difficulties, you must contact the family. Say, don't hold back."
Yi Sisi looked at her mother firmly, her eyes were red: "I know, I will."
? Turning off the video, Yi Sisi touched the glasses lenses that were close at hand, and a strong longing surged in her heart.
Xu Xiangxuan's looks and height are both good, and his family conditions are not to mention. More importantly, he is upright and honest, loves his profession and is motivated. Putting aside his fault-finding and withdrawn obsession, Xu Xiangxuan's care and love for himself is obvious to all. 360 observations without blind spots, no matter how he looks at it, he is a good candidate for marriage.
Yi Sisi was taken aback by this thought, and wondered when did she start to have such realistic considerations about feelings? Is it really because of old age?
Yi Sisi looked at the cucurbit silk beside the pillow, with tears in her eyes. leave everything behindDon't be afraid, the era when you put your whole heart into love wantonly is gone forever. The turbulent tide of youth that she couldn't resist, slapped on the shore, was destroyed and turned into nothingness. More than a year is fleeting, maybe she should really let it go, because the person in her memory is really gone, it's time to make plans for the future
? On the day she got her driver's license, Yi Sisi invited two good family friends, Mr. Lai Hui, to have a meal at a Chinese restaurant, and happened to meet Xu Xiangxuan who was waiting for a takeaway. Yi Sisi wanted to invite him to have dinner together, but Xu Xiangxuan and his two good friends obviously had a disagreement, so he gave up the plan. Yi Sisi met his disappointed eyes, looked at his frowning brows apologetically, and suddenly heard the creaking sound of his knuckles.
In the next few days, Yi Sisi's plan to invite Xu Xiangxuan to dinner repeatedly failed. Yi Sisi was strongly dissatisfied: "Could it be jealous? Small-minded guy, it really hurts."
Stepped around the door of Xu Xiangxuan's house and rolled down the car window, Yi Sisi finally waited for him: "Xiangxuan, let's have dinner together."
Xu Xiangxuan was obviously too shocked by Yi Sisi's actions, unable to advance or retreat, and did not respond for a long time.
"If I don't go, I'll leave" Yi Sisi shifted gears and acted like stepping on the gas pedal. Xu Xiangxuan's face froze, and the look in his eyes was inexplicable, but he finally took two quick steps, opened the car door heavily, and got in.
Yi Sisi held back her smile, and while driving, secretly observed Xu Xiangxuan who was on pins and needles.
Yi Sisi made noise all the way, Xu Xiangxuan occasionally responded. Yi Sisi felt that although Xu Xiangxuan was bored, he could always ask the right question "And then?" every time. He seemed to be careless, but in fact he had been listening quietly all the time. This feeling made her very comfortable, and her sense of existence was greatly satisfied. The only regret is that he often can't understand her cryptic jokes, which makes Yi Sisi want to let go of the steering wheel and beat his chest.
After dinner, Yi Sisi drove Xu Xiangxuan home. Suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance. Yi Sisi panicked, looked up, and saw a brilliant spark blooming in the sky.
Only then did Yi Sisi realize that today is the 4th of July, the National Day of the United States¡ªone of the few days in a year when the American people can enjoy fireworks.
"Xiang Xuan, shall we go and have a look?"
Xu Xiangxuan would hardly object to Yi Sisi's request.
The two sat side by side by Oak Lake. The night is beautiful, and it is even more enchanting and gorgeous under the embellishment of fireworks. The lake is beautiful, reflecting the silhouette of the city and the bright sky.
Americans gathered in groups, lit bonfires, and sang loudly. American children ran and chased on the beach by the lake, smiling carefree.
Yi Sisi suddenly wanted to lean on his shoulder. This is an American holiday. The beautiful night sky, gorgeous fireworks, singing and laughter don't belong to them¡ªthey are just foreigners.
Yi Sisi looked at him with a smile, and Xu Xiangxuan's outstretched arm immediately retracted, his expression was like a child who had done something wrong, his lips were tight, and he waited for her punishment with a bitter face: "I"
"Shh" Yi Sisi put her index finger on his lips and whispered softly, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xu Xiangxuan replied without even thinking about it, and immediately showed surprise after speaking, and cast a questioning look.
Yi Sisi smiled, she didn't tell him: "Actually, so what if everything in front of us doesn't belong to us, at least we have each other. Even if you don't know how to confess, I won't take the initiative."
Yi Sisi's face softened, because this thought made her feel very warm. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
