Chapter 21 Our Future

"As a man, I have to take the initiative to take responsibility, I can't let this situation continue~~"

Because of doubts about Byron's identity, Lan Shengli seemed to give up the idea of ​​"challenging a new field", so he decided to apologize to his girlfriend Xiaojing.

After yelling at Byron who had found him at school, Lan Shengli murmured in his heart and went to Xiaojing's office.

"If you have work-related matters, just tell them directly. If there is nothing else, I will go back~~"

As soon as she walked out of the office, Xiao Jing's face became "cold-blooded" instantly, she didn't even look at Lan Shengli, she just lowered her head and said in a very low tone.

Although Xiaojing gave Lan Shengli a chance to meet, the two of them didn't communicate much.

"It's nothing, I just want to tell you, let's go home to eat tonight, I don't have much class today, I get off work early~~"

Lan Shengli's ability to say this sentence can be regarded as the first to break the "cold war" situation between the two. After all, things are going to develop in a good direction.

Moreover, the conflict between two people is not difficult to resolve, it just takes time for the two to think calmly.

After getting off work early, Lan Shengli went directly to the supermarket, bought a lot of ingredients, and prepared to cook a sumptuous dinner.

When he got home, Lan Shengli turned into an all-round chef in an instant, ready to prepare, cut vegetables, fry, steam and cook everything~~
Lan Shengli's busy figure back and forth in the kitchen was in exchange for a feast of Chinese and Western dishes.

In addition to the usual fruit salad and American butter pie, there are also classic Chinese dishes such as boiled pork slices, pot-wrapped pork, and fungus dipped in horseradish.

Light two more candles, it can be described as a real "candlelight dinner".

Soon, Xiao Jing also returned home.

"Xiao Jing, I made dinner, some of your favorite hometown dishes, and some dry red wine that I prepared to drink last Friday night, wash your hands, come and eat~!!"

Seeing that Xiaojing ignored herself and the dining table at all, but walked directly to the second floor with a cold face, Lan Shengli said proactively.

"I have no appetite, I want to rest early~~"

Xiao Jing walked to the stairs, hesitated for a while, with the same cold tone, and walked directly to the second floor after speaking.

"Xiaojing~!!, let's stop wasting like this, okay, I was wrong, it was me, my previous thoughts were too naive, I didn't fully consider your feelings, I didn't think about our future, I was too hasty, I have already given up on that interview, I will definitely be a teacher at school, and work with you to run our home, Xiaojing, I'm sorry~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli didn't say anything else, this time it was a formal apology.

"Our future~!? Lan Shengli, in fact, it's not because of this incident that I am like this. I often wonder, where is our future~!?"

Xiao Jing's tone was still flat, even without emotional fluctuations, she turned around, looked at Lan Shengli with a bitter expression and said.

"At~~, right here~~"

Lan Shengli thought for a while and said.

"Xiao Jing, have you forgotten the time when we first came to the United States to study abroad? At that time, we lived in host families. Maybe we didn't realize that one day, we would have a home here that belongs to us. It’s all the result of our hard work~!!, I believe that as long as we continue to work together, the future will be even better~!!”

Lan Shengli said in a tone full of hope.

"But, have you forgotten~!?, this place does not belong to us~~We are Chinese, our home is in China~~!!, our parents are in China, our closest relatives and friends are all in China , So, let me ask you again, where is our future~!?"

Xiao Jing continued to question.

Listening to what Xiaojing said, it seems that it has been considered for a long time.

This is the case with girls. Many of their serious thinking problems are carried out without you even realizing it, and on the surface, it seems that "there is no fluctuation in the heart".

"If you want to go home, we can go back at any time, we sell the house, we can do some business when we go back to China, maybe find some teachers' jobs, it's fine~!! In short, no matter where we live in the future, you There will be no separation between me and me, we are together, we are called a family, and there is a family, there is a future~!!"

Lan Shengli said in a pleading tone.

"Actually, you don't have to be so humble. Victory, let's take this opportunity today and let's have a good chat. You can eat first. I'll change my clothes and remove my makeup. I'll come down later~~"

Xiao Jing's state is still as calm as before, not moved by Lan Shengli's performance in the slightest, a sense of superiority that comes from nowhere.

"Okay, I'll wait for you~~"

But Lan Shengli still looked at Xiao Jing with eyes full of sincerity, and said.

Although Xiaojing didn't say whether she was satisfied with Lan Shengli's answer, at least Xiaojing seemed willing to have a normal conversation with Lan Shengli.

Not long after, Xiaojing changed her clothes and went downstairs.

“It’s been a long time since I ate the food from my hometown~~”

Xiao Jing first picked up a piece of pot-packed meat, looked at it with the eyes of admiring a work of art and said.

"This time I feel that I made it more successfully. The tomato sauce and heat are well controlled~~"

Lan Shengli smiled and said.

"Hmm~~ The taste is good, and it has indeed improved~~"

Xiao Jing took a sip, nodded and said.

The two of them can return to normal communication again.

"There's also this boiled pork slices, hurry up, taste it while it's still hot, it won't taste good when it's cold~!"

As Lan Shengli said, he picked up a large piece of cabbage leaf with sliced ​​meat and put it in Xiaojing's bowl.

"Well, it may be that the weather has suddenly become too cold recently, and my face has some allergies, so try to eat less spicy food~~"

Xiao Jing said.

"Oh, so, yes, the weather seems to be in the cold winter recently, it's too cold~~"

Lan Shengli looked like he was on the first date with Xiao Jing, he was very restrained and excited at the same time.

"By the way, did you say when the postponed performance will be performed again~!?"

In order to make the atmosphere not too awkward, Lan Shengli tried his best to think about the topic.

"No~~"

Xiao Jing didn't want to say anything, but was eating with peace of mind.

Suddenly, Xiao Jing put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Lan Shengli with a serious and serious expression, as if she wanted to say something important.

"Why did you decide not to go to the interview~!? You still swore it on Friday~~"

Xiao Jing asked.

"Oh, that's right, um~~, the black guy I told you before, his identity is a bit suspicious, so I suspect that this matter is not reliable at all, so I gave up, that's it~~"

Lan Shengli didn't think too much about it, and replied very simply.
