time slow

Before the festival, it is usually the busiest time for the department. Several companies have to launch new products on Christmas. These days, Jing Chen has been busy day and night, and most of the time she is not even conscious, so Yan Chunxi ordered her not to drive.

After sleeping at home all day and waking up to receive Yan Chunxi's sweet kiss, Jing Chen wakes up instantly, after tidying up, he takes his prospective girlfriend shopping and spends Christmas early, saying that he wants to behave well.

In the shopping mall, Jing Chen and Yan Chunxi held hands and strolled leisurely.

In fact, Yan Chunxi didn't quite understand why Jing Chen suddenly changed his temperament, so she asked, "Jing Chen, you seem to have changed suddenly."

Jing Chen proudly shook the hands they were holding: "What changed?"

Yan Chunxi: "Now... you treat me a little differently, as if you are opening yourself?"

Jing Chen lowered his head, his eyes dodged: "It's not that I'm opening myself up, it's that I don't want to escape."

I obviously like you...

……

Going shopping is something that Jing Chen really dislikes, whether it is going shopping with friends or freshman and Chu Xin, she doesn't have any fun.

But when Yan Chunxi did the same thing as others, she was not annoyed at all, but liked it very much.

Looking at the lipstick numbers on her arms, Jing Chen smiled and said: So I also have double standards.

Jing Chen's skin is very fair, and her figure is considered pretty. People who go shopping with her always like to paint and draw on her hands.

Putting these things aside in the past, she has long been too annoying, but now she also enjoys it.

Yan Chunxi picked out a few lipsticks, Jing Chen took out her mobile phone to pay, but she stopped her.

The man's eyes were as bright as water, and the light reflected in them sparkled: "This is part of the gift I gave you, and you don't need to pay for it."

"What about the rest of the time, let's go shopping separately and exchange gifts in an hour, okay?"

After speaking, Jing Chen was not given a chance to refuse at all, Yan Chunxi had already walked away with the bag.

Jing Chen is helpless: She really doesn't know how to buy gifts.

With her hands in her coat pockets, Jing Chen lingered among the dazzling array of products, occasionally observing the couple around her.

Forget it, it’s all boring and crooked, there is no reference value...

As she walked, she raised her hand to stroke the hair around her ear, and suddenly she smiled, and walked quickly to a place...

Holding a small velvet box in her hand, Jing Chen had the urge to propose, but unfortunately there was no ring in the box, and she was not proposing.

The people behind him didn't move for a long time, Yan Chunxi couldn't help reminding: "Jing Chen?"

"Oh."

Jing Chen responded, took out the ear wire from the box, moved clumsily, touched Yan Chunxi's soft earlobe with her fingertips, it was different from the touch of red lips, but it was the same longing.

After taking it, Jing Chen couldn't help kissing the ginkgo leaf.

The slightly cool and warm things touched her earlobe at the same time, Yan Chunxi raised her hand to touch it, then turned around, just in time to meet Jing Chen's infatuated eyes.

There was a moment of trance...

No, I can't watch it anymore, I can't help but watch it again, they are not officially together yet.

Yan Chunxi got up and took a bag on the coffee table, which contained couple's pajamas that Jing Chen forcibly pieced together.

Pure cotton shirt pajamas, one white and one navy blue.

Since Jing Chen has too many white clothes, Yan Chunxi plans to keep this white one for herself.

In fact, it doesn't matter, they have the same number.

……

While Jing Chen was taking a shower, Yan Chunxi received a call from Chen Juan.

"Hey, Mom, are you looking for Jing Chen, she is taking a bath."

"I find you."

Looking for her?Yan Chunxi couldn't think of what Chen Juan would ask her for.

Yan Chunxi pulled up the quilt and leaned against the head of the bed: "Mom, what do you want from me?"

The other side was silent for a while, Yan Chunxi seemed to hear the sound of sobbing, she unconsciously grasped the quilt tightly, and her voice was also tinged with anxiety: "Mom, you..."

Chen Juan couldn't control her voice: "Xiaoxi, let's go home with Jing Chen for the New Year this year, and help mom persuade her, okay? She didn't come back last year..."

Yan Chunxi knew about this, last year she found out about Jing Chen not coming home, so she took him to her home.

"Okay." Yan Chunxi replied warmly, and at the same time looked up at the bathroom, afraid that Jing Chen would hear it.

She got up and went to the living room, and after thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, can you tell me why Jing Chen didn't go home?"

"She still blames me..."

Chen Juan's choked up voice made Yan Chunxi uncomfortable...

In the weekend experiment class, Jing Chen finished the experiment content early. The teacher said that the students who had finished could leave early, so she left with her schoolbag.

The cafeteria was not too crowded at this time, so Jing Chen packed a meat and a vegetarian dish and brought it back to the dormitory.

While watching a variety show while eating, Chen Juan suddenly proposed a video chat to her.

Chen Juan said intermittently: Half a year ago, through the introduction of an acquaintance, a man contacted her. After chatting with her, she found out that she was a fellow student. Even at that time, they had a good impression of each other.

Having said all that, of course Jing Chen knew what she wanted to express.

Jing Chen put down his chopsticks and took out a tissue to wipe his mouth: "You can omit the process and just say that you two are together? What do you think?"

Chen Juan's eyes dodged, as if she was embarrassed to say this in front of her daughter: "I can rest assured that he is a man, and he will give me a fixed time to spend with Nuan Nuan every year. I promise... If he gives me [-], I will follow him. But without a certificate..."

One hundred thousand?

Jing Chen felt indescribably irritated, would he sell his life for the next 30 to [-] years for [-] yuan?

Moreover, Nuan Nuan is still young, and she herself does not have the ability to be financially independent...

Their family doesn't have any money now, but the money they got in exchange for their mother... After all, it's someone else's money, and she won't spend it.

The voice came from the receiver again, "I'll listen to you, if you don't agree. Mom won't follow him, and the three of us will live a good life..."

Jing Chen couldn't hear the rest clearly.

In fact, when she heard that someone could take care of her mother, her first reaction was to be happy, but she smiled and burst into tears...

Jing Chen reached out to switch the voice call, but Chen Juan couldn't see her expression, and her tone was very worried.

"Jing Chen, let mom see, it's fine, if you don't agree, I won't be with him..."

……

Memories emerged little by little, the father who loved her so much and took care of the family so much beat her mother, and the mother who had always had high expectations for her said the cruelest things to her...

"What's the use of me raising you!"

Xiao Jingchen showed the little red flowers from the kindergarten to her mother, clutching the corner of her dirty clothes.

Yesterday, Mom and Dad quarreled again. She persuaded Mom not to cry for a while, and patted Dad on the back for a while, telling him not to be angry.

I dare not cry...

At night, when the adults are asleep, I hold the storybook and secretly wipe my tears...

The little Jing Chen already knows how to look at the faces of adults.

Arguing-hands-on-reconciliation, and then fighting again, like a cycle.

Is this adult love and marriage?

It doesn't seem to be good at all.

Mom always blamed Dad, until he died, she also blamed him for abandoning her, saying he was cruel.

But on the night of that man's first seven days, he can discuss with others how a certain man's condition is, whether he is suitable for a second marriage...

...Everything is to be notified directly to her. If her father is dead, she will be notified directly; if her mother may have a man, she will be notified directly...and she will be tied to Chen Juan when she goes to college...

If you don't get the first place once, you will be said to be useless. There are people out there, and the world is too big.It was only when she came out of the county that she knew what other people's lives were like. In Qinbei University of Technology, which is full of talents, she couldn't get a scholarship at all.

The life before the age of 20 was all held hostage by the eyes of outsiders and the reputation of his family.

When will the so-called "relatives" in the family realize that she, Jing Chen, is alone, and not let them arrange, give them a tool to improve their face, and become a shame if they don't do something well, as if the name is mentioned all dirty.

Has she been obedient for too long... Been obedient for too long...

Chen Juan Mingming often mentioned Jing Zhen to her, why did she find a man so quickly?

Can't live without a man?

A woman with an apparently sound body, who must be crowned as wife or daughter?

……

After Jing Chen finished drying her hair, Yan Chunxi did not return to the bedroom.

She put away the hair dryer and walked towards the source of the sound in the living room.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?"

The light illuminated the thin figure in the living room, Yan Chunxi followed her voice and looked over, her eyes were moist and reddish, and the phone was still held by her ear.

Jing Chen hurried over, hugged her into her arms, and patted her gently: "What's wrong? What happened? Would you like to talk to me?"

Yan Chunxi reached out to clasp her back, her red eyes met Jing Chen's brown pupils, and said, "Jing Chen, this year... let's go home for the New Year."

Even though her voice was as warm as water, she could still feel Jing Chen's body stiffen, and the hands around her waist were slowly falling down.

Is she being reckless again, touching her reverse scale?

Can't give up all previous efforts, they finally have the possibility of happiness...

Yan Chunxi shook her head and pressed her forehead: "Jing Chen, I'm not..." intentionally.

Surrounded by warmth as soon as he opened his mouth, Jing Chen said, "Okay, I promise you."

There was helplessness in the voice.

Yan Chunxi put her hands on the back of Jing Chen's neck, and rubbed her in the crook of her neck.

She knew it would give her some comfort.

Slowly, Jing Chen pulled her to sit on the sofa, while Jing Chen squatted in front of her, holding his hands in his arms.

Jing Chen adjusted his posture so that his brows were not particularly cold, and raised his head and asked her, "Come home with me for the New Year, okay? You...you are my prospective girlfriend, right?"

In addition to the idea of ​​wanting to be with her, going to Jing Chen's hometown may reveal more information.

Only then can I better understand Jing Chen's past and clear the haze in her heart.

Yan Chunxi held her back and said softly, "Okay."

It's past twelve o'clock.

Yan Chunxi and Jing Chen leaned together, a classic literary film was playing on the TV, Jing Chen and her clasped fingers, not thinking about the movie at all.

She felt that her thoughts were pulling away a little bit, and she suddenly seemed like a bystander in her own life.

The happy family before was like a fantasy, the scene where her father beat her mother was also like a fantasy, her father taught her to read, and playing games with her was also like a fantasy...

Even if that is what she thinks she is happy.

In the end, even the time spent with Yan Chunxi was like an illusion...

It's not realistic at all.

She rubbed the center of her brows, her head...a little dizzy.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, when and how to express your love."

Yan Chunxi's cheeks were slightly red, and she patted her hand lightly: "If you hit a straight ball like this, no one will like you except me."

Sometimes it's better not to beat around the bush.

Jing Chen laughed, and held her hand again to play with it: "As long as you eat, it's fine. Didn't you say that there is another gift for me after twelve o'clock, and it's past twelve o'clock now." She spread her hands and said, "Where is my present?"

"Then close your eyes."

Jing Chen obediently closed her eyes and waited, listening to the sound of footsteps coming and going.

That was Yan Chunxi's intention, to make her think that she went to get something.

Suddenly, a familiar aroma hit, and a soft touch lingered on his forehead. Jing Chen opened his eyes, and Yan Chunxi quickly withdrew.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in the man's eyes: "Is this gift okay?"

Jing Chen took her hand and shook it lightly: "Shall I give you one too?"

Leaning over, lifted the broken bangs on Yan Chunxi's forehead, then kissed her, counting silently in her heart: one, two, three

Thin lips were lowered, breathing intertwined, Yan Chunxi heard her say: "I really want to kiss you."

Obviously close at hand, she walked around stroking Jing Chen's side face with her fingertips, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Then hurry up and get together."

Let go of her earlier, okay, I can give you happiness.
