Chapter 55
A week seemed to have passed in a blink of an eye, and it seemed like it was very long. I waited every day and finally arrived slowly when Xu Shu asked for leave.
Zhao Nanxiao asked him about his arrival time last night and said he went to the airport to pick him up. He said no, so she would let him go and made an appointment to arrive at her house at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Grandpa already knew that she and Xu Shu had gotten along. He had always liked Xu Shu, and his reaction was similar to his mother's first sound. He was surprised and then happy. When he learned that Xu Shu had returned today, his grandpa pushed something else in the afternoon. Zhao Nanxiao drove over and picked up his grandpa early, waiting for him to come to have dinner together in the evening.
Xu Zhenzhong also knew that his son was going to meet Zhao Nanxiao's parents, so he took the initiative to contact him and asked if he wanted to go with him now. Depending on the situation, he took the initiative to discuss the marriage.
"Xiao Nan's family is a woman, so you must be more reserved. We must be proactive and not let them wait, otherwise it will be rude. Son, do you think so?"
Since learning that Xu Shu had successfully pursued Zhao Nanxiao, Xu Zhenzhong's tone when he talked to him now is completely different from before. He spoke "son" and kept talking "son", which was very intimate. It was also sad to think about it. The only value of his son in my eyes seemed to exist only based on Zhao Nanxiao.
Xu Shu just left the airport and said as he walked, "No, it's not possible now. Dad, you don't have to come back, I'll go by myself."
"What, I can't stand it?" Xu Zhen was a little dissatisfied in the center because his son refused his kindness.
Xu Shu suppressed his depression and explained: "Dad, don't get me wrong. It's not long before Xiaonan and I have been going well now. Today she just took me to meet. It's a bit early to mention this now. I'm afraid they will feel hasty."
Xu Zhenzhong thought about it, so he gave up and told his son to work harder, get things done sooner, and then arrange for the formal meeting of the parents.
"Clean me clean tonight, don't lose my face! Also, Grandpa Xiaonan can drink white wine and take it for twenty years. There are two bottles of it at home, so how can I put it in?"
"I know, then that's what it means first."
Sometimes my hair was ignored there and it was a bit long. Xu Shu went to get a haircut first, and took a shower and dressed when he got home. After finishing it, he saw that the time was almost over. He drove out and bought another bouquet of flowers on the way. Finally, he took the things downstairs to her house and called her.
Zhao Nanxiao ran downstairs to pick him up, and deliberately wore a small pink coat that he had never worn before. It was furry and looked very cute.
I haven't seen him for a week, and it seems like he has changed his body. He has a tough hair and is wearing formal clothes. He wears this European suit and has a wide shoulder and waist-retracting trapezoidal shape. He shows his advantages of being handsome and energetic.
She stood in front of him and looked at him, her lips couldn't help but curl up.
"Why are you laughing at? I can't do this?"
Although the shadow from her mother in my heart was lingering, Xu Shu's mood improved after finally seeing her who had missed her for so many days. Seeing her looking at her behind her hands, she seemed to be still smiling. Following her eyes, she looked down at herself, and she felt unsure.
Zhao Nanxiao laughed, but actually thought that if he looked like this, he would be almost the same as the groom if he had to do something else to his mind.
Of course, this idea cannot be known to him, so as not to be too proud.
"It's nothing, come in, my grandfather and my mother are waiting for you."
She smiled, came up to help him get things, and took the initiative to take him with his arm on his side. When she arrived at the door, she rang the doorbell.
"Here you come!"
Chen Xiaoman's response came faintly from the door.
Xu Shu immediately became nervous. Seeing that Zhao Nanxiao was holding his arm, he hurriedly pulled his arm back and stood up straight.
Zhao Nanxiao glanced at him, he looked nervous and felt a little funny. Suddenly he wanted to tease him, so he deliberately held his arm again, and leaned forward to him, acting like a bird to rely on others.
Xu Shu remembered what Chen Xiaoman said to him that day, and heard footsteps in his ears seem to be getting closer and closer. He hurriedly pulled his arms again, but she held the person tightly and leaned over, and hurriedly begged in a low voice: "Zhao Nanxiao, let me go quickly and let me stand by myself..."
"no!"
Zhao Nanxiao replied, pulling him tighter.
There was a noise from opening the door behind the door, and Xu Shu didn't dare to force her away, so nervous that he sweated heavily.
Zhao Nanxiao was just a joke with him, but when he saw the door open, he immediately let him go.
Chen Xiaoman showed off from behind the door, and saw Xu Shu, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xu Shu, are you here? Come in quickly!"
Xu Shu then breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and delivered the wrapped flowers in his hand: "Hello Aunt Chen, I send you flowers, I hope you like it."
Chen Xiaoman took it with a smile, lowered his head and smelled it: "It's great. There is a lily I like, it will smell good for several days. Come in quickly."
She enthusiastically took Xu Shu in and called her father: "Dad, Xu Shu is here!"
Grandpa came out of the study and personally welcomed his future grandson-in-law, smiling and kind-hearted.
Xu Shu bowed to him and said hello.
Zhao Nanxiao put a pair of wine in his hand on the table and smiled and said, "Grandpa, this is his filial piety to you. This is not cheap. Twenty years of age, grandpa, you will definitely not be willing to drink it yourself!"
Grandpa blamed: "Xu Shu, why are you doing such expensive wine?"
"It's not expensive, it's ready-made. It's my little intention to respect you." Xu Shu was respectful.
“It’s still too expensive…”
"Oh grandpa, he has brought it all. You won't ask him to take it back again, right? Just drink it at night. Why are you polite to him? Let him have a drink with you for two drinks. If you can't drive, I'll take him home."
"Then let me listen to Xiaonan. Xu Shu wait for you to have a few drinks with me." Grandpa said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, sure, sure..." Xu Shu timidly.
During the meal, my grandfather opened a bottle of white wine and poured a glass of Xu Shu himself. Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and took it with his hands, and drank it with his grandfather.
After drinking two drinks, my grandfather asked about Xu Zhenzhong.
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "My dad wanted to come today, but he was just something. I hope he would come and have a chance to drink with you next time."
Grandpa smiled and nodded, looking at his granddaughter sitting side by side with him, he became happier the more he looked, and said, "I am a little older, but now, you young people are popular online complaining about parents urging marriage, and I know a little, I'm not urging marriage, so I just ask casually, have you two considered when to get married?"
Zhao Nanxiao was a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head to eat.
Xu Shu looked at Chen Xiaoman who was sitting opposite and smiling, and hesitated for a while and smiled and said, "I listen to Xiaonan."
"Xiao Nan, what do you say?" Grandpa turned his gun to his granddaughter.
Zhao Nanxiao's face became hot, and he kicked Xu Shu under the table, then raised his head and said, "Grandpa, you said you don't urge! What's this not urge? The bridge project is so nervous. I heard that there are three shifts on the construction site. He is so busy, so how can I have time to think about this! Besides, I'm not in a hurry!"
Grandpa smiled and said, "If the girl is old but not the one who stays, I will start to speak for Xu Shu now. OK, okay, it's all my fault. I won't ask anymore, so that you won't think that I'll be confused after drinking two drinks."
"Grandpa, that's not what you mean! You were deliberately wronging me-" Zhao Nanxiao's face turned red and she acted coquettishly.
Grandpa laughed.
Chen Xiaoman also laughed and looked at Xu Shu again.
Xu Shu was laughing, and met Chen Xiaoman's gaze, smiled and fell silent again.
"Xu Shu, why are you doing while sitting? Eat quickly, it will be cold if you don't eat it."
Chen Xiaoman stood up with a smile and personally cooked vegetables for him.
"Thank you, auntie, thank you, I'll do it myself, come by myself, you can sit down—"
Xu Shu was now feeling weak at Chen Xiaoman, so he didn't dare to let her pick up food for him. He quickly stood up and thanked him and refused.
Chen Xiaoman sat back, looked at Xu Shu and smiled and said, "Your grandpa is actually right. Since the two of them are in love and have formal dates, when will they consider this if they have time? After all, it is not a trivial matter, right?"
Xu Shu nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I understand, I will definitely be as soon as possible."
For this meal, the rest of the people on the table were chatting and laughing, only Xu Shu. No matter how delicious the dishes were, they didn’t feel anything, and they had no appetite. They drank with grandpa with a smile on their faces. After the meal, they sat in the living room and chatted with grandpa for a while. After eating some fruit and a cup of tea, grandpa was a little drunk and prepared to go home to rest. Zhao Nanxiao drove his car to take grandpa back.
"Mom, Xu Shu also drank alcohol and couldn't drive. After I took my grandpa, I'll take him home as well. I might be late when I come back. You don't have to wait for me, go to bed early by myself."
Zhao Nanxiao told his mother, took the car keys and helped grandpa out.
Xu Shu followed him silently.
Chen Xiaoman sent them to the garage and told his daughter to drive slowly. Finally, he smiled and said, "Xu Shu, then aunt won't send you there. When you get home, remember to rest early."
She looked at Xu Shu sitting in the passenger seat, and her smile was meaningful.
Xu Shu immediately agreed: "I know, I know, aunt, don't worry, go back, don't send me."
"Mom, I'm leaving."
Zhao Nanxiao put on his seat belt, drove out of the basement, and took his grandfather home. The two returned to the car. She turned around and asked him: "Is the food not suitable for your appetite at night? I don't think you have eaten much, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I ate something in the afternoon, so I can't eat it in the evening." Xu Shu explained immediately.
Zhao Nanxiao believed it, so he felt relieved and looked at him again: "Then send you home now?"
Xu Shu looked ahead and nodded.
Zhao Nanxiao stared at him.
It's not too late now, and it's less than nine o'clock. She thought he would ask her to do something first in the evening, such as watching a movie, but she didn't expect to reply like this. She was a little surprised. She thought about it again that he drank a lot with his grandfather at night, probably a little drunk, and then she figured it out immediately, so she smiled and said, "I know, I'll send you home."
She drove him back to the door of her home and parked the car.
The villa was pitch black, and there was only the doorway illuminated, and there was obviously no one at home.
"arrive."
Zhao Nanxiao held the steering wheel with both hands and turned his head to call him.
He probably had a little drunk and didn't talk to her on the way, and later he leaned in the chair and closed his eyes.
Hearing her call to him, he opened his eyes, turned around and said, "Thank you, Zhao Nanxiao, send me back, then I'll go in, you can drive slowly when you go back, remember to send me a message when you get home."
With a "click", he lowered his head and untied his seat belt, raised his hand and pushed open the car door, and walked down.
Zhao Nanxiao looked at his back and was surprised again. He was hesitating. He saw him take two steps and suddenly stopped. As if he remembered something, he walked around the front of the car and hurriedly lowered the electric car window.
He walked to her, bent down and leaned against the car window and said, "In two days it will be a friend of mine. Can you go with me then?"
He lay on the car window and leaned over to talk, his face was very close to hers. Zhao Nanxiao felt his hot breath with a faint smell of alcohol and gently scattering into his face and neck. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He felt a slight dizziness inexplicably, calmed down and nodded immediately: "No problem."
He looked a little happy: "Okay, I'll pick you up then and we'll go there together."
Zhao Nanxiao nodded softly.
She was waiting for him to say something, such as inviting her into his house to sit. She was afraid that he would bother her at night, and it would be better if she went back too late, so she specifically explained to her mother before she came out.
But he had nothing to say, and just lay down and supported his arms on the window to look at her. After looking at her for a while, he said softly: "Then go back, drive slowly, remember to lock the car door." As he said that, he slowly straightened his body.
