Li Hua and I spent a week in Hong Kong.The life is too comfortable, and I don't want to leave.Li Hua pampered me and postponed my return time and time again, but in the end I was called back by my mother.

At that time, we were walking along the hilltop road, and my mother’s crying on the phone frightened me: “Ruoqi, your father fell off his bicycle, and now he is still lying on the ground unable to move…”

I stopped in my tracks all of a sudden, my mind went blank, Li Hua immediately asked me what was wrong.

"My dad fell off his bicycle, it seems to be very serious..."

Li Hua motioned for me to give him the phone: "Hi Auntie, I'm Ou Kaihua. How is Uncle now?"

I was flustered and didn't know what my mother said on the phone, but I saw Li Hua's calm expression: "Okay, tell uncle, let the ambulance take him to Huisheng Hospital, I will contact my family immediately, don't worry , they will make arrangements, and I will bring Ruoqi back now."

He hung up the phone, led me back, and at the same time called his father, asking him to take care of him.

I watched him do all this in an orderly manner, and my flustered heart gradually calmed down. I always felt that as long as he was there, all difficulties would be easily resolved.

We packed our luggage, rushed on the road, and boarded the plane without stopping. When we returned to S City, it was almost evening. We left our luggage in the car and went directly to the hospital first.

My father had multiple contusions, but the most serious was a comminuted fracture of his right leg, which had just come out of surgery when we arrived.

He lived in a single ward, and his mother was making arrangements for him to eat. Seeing Li Hua and me coming in, she excitedly put down the bowl in her hand and ran to Li Hua to thank him: "Xiao Ou, thank you so much today, really It was a great help, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

I haven't seen each other for a month, and she doesn't even look at me, as if Li Hua is her real son.But yes, if it wasn't for Li Hua today, I'm afraid I'd be as at a loss as she is.

"This is all as it should be. How is uncle now?"

Although his father had some bruises on his face, he was quite energetic: "The operation went well, it was all arranged by your father, Xiao Ou, thank you so much this time."

"You're really welcome," Li Hua looked at the food on the side and said, "You guys eat first."

"Have you eaten yet?" My mother asked me while placing the food on the small table of the hospital bed.

We had had breakfast when we received the call, but we were so busy on our way that we didn’t eat anything. Now that we saw someone, we felt relieved and felt hungry.

"No... I didn't eat lunch or dinner."

"Then hurry up and take Xiao Ou to eat. I didn't prepare it, so I cooked it for me and your dad. There is a restaurant diagonally downstairs that is not bad, so you can order more." The mother complained, as if I am grateful for treating Li Hua.

I obediently took Li Hua to that restaurant, ordered a large table of dishes, but he was the one who paid the bill.

Back in the ward, I heard voices from inside at the door. When I opened the door, I was stunned. Li Hua's parents and Ou Kaiwen were there, chatting happily with my parents.

I always thought that the meeting between the parents of the two parties was only done when they planned to get married. I never expected that it would be at this time and on such an occasion.

Li Hua put his arms around my waist, as if to embolden me, then walked into the ward calmly: "Dad, Mom."

I followed him in, and greeted them timidly: "Uncle and Auntie, I have troubled you too much today..."

Mama Ou waved her hand and said with a pleasant expression, "They're all from my own family, why are you being so polite."

"Yeah, it's all from my own family," my mother quickly took the words, "You are too polite, you arranged the wards, and asked the best doctors to perform the operation, and you brought so many gifts. How dare you."

Only then did I see a large pile of nutritional products by the wall, which should have been brought by them.

"Here are all former colleagues, easy to talk to," Papa Ou said, "Kevin, take care of your Uncle Fang more at work."

O Kaiwen nodded, he was also embarrassed by this scene, so he didn't say a word.

My mother sighed: "You two sons are promising, that's great."

Mother Ou immediately said: "What's the matter, I don't know how much I want a daughter, I envy you so much, there is such a beautiful and sensible girl like Ruoqi."

My mother laughed even happier when she heard that, but for some reason, she became melancholy again: "Girls are extroverted, and when they get married, they are girls from other people's families."

"That's impossible," Ou's mother comforted, "We are all in the same city. When they get married in the future, it will be convenient to move around, and we can often get together."

"That's good...but Kaihua's company is in City B, so he will be there a lot of time, right?" My mother has already started calling Li Hua's name directly following Ou's mother.

Li Hua said very wittily: "Next year I will slow down, I don't have to watch at the company all the time, and I will spend more time here then."

"You sound nice, but don't turn your head around and forget it." Ou's mother has always been rude to him.

After hearing this, my mother spoke up for him: "Boys, it's good to focus on career, especially as Kaihua is so successful, it's not easy."

Mother Ou said anxiously: "Ruoqi is young, you haven't bothered about it yet, he is in his thirties and hasn't married yet, can I be in a hurry as a mother?"

"That's right," my mother agreed, "Ruoqi will be 24 next year, and when we are our age, our family is already concerned about marriage."

"Did you hear that?" Mama Ou glanced at Li Hua.

I smiled apologetically at the side, not daring to breathe, Li Hua said surprisingly: "Understood, I will give you a letter next year."

Although I occasionally talked about marriage, this is the first time I heard it, so I couldn't help being surprised. Li Hua looked over and raised the corner of his mouth at me. My heart was pounding, and my ears were burning. .

Both families were quite satisfied with the first meeting. After Kevin Ou and his parents left, my mother asked me: "Have you been back?"

"No, we came directly from the airport, and the luggage is still in his car..." I said it casually, and then suddenly realized that before I went to Hong Kong, I said I was going to give a speech at a university, but then there were too many things, and I forgot to lie .

Mother also noticed immediately: "You were together before?"

I was still searching for various excuses in my mind, but Li Hua said frankly: "We came back from Hong Kong together."

Mother paused for a moment and said nothing: "I'll stay with you all night, so you should go home early and pack up."

I felt guilty, and said obediently: "Then you stay with me tonight first, and I will accompany you later."

When I came out of the ward, I complained to Li Hua: "Why do you say we are in Hong Kong, my mother must think that we... what's the matter?"

He smiled and said, "That's the truth."

I was so angry that I glanced at him and walked into the elevator.

He came in after me, and there were other people in the elevator, so he stood quietly beside me.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he followed me in twos and twos, and took my hand: "I'm giving you a treat, so you can come to me openly and honestly in the future."

"It's all your fault, the image of my good daughter has collapsed."

He didn't hold back, and laughed: "Didn't you see that your mother is in a hurry to marry you, a 'good girl', to me?"

I became angry from embarrassment: "Who wants to marry you."

"Do not want?"

I looked at his innocent expression and couldn't even make a joke.

"Okay," he put his arms around my shoulders, and said seriously, "I'll take you back to rest first, and then I have to go back to City B. I'll pick your dad up when he's discharged from the hospital, okay?"

"If you're busy, you don't have to rush here, my parents understand." He hurried back to Hong Kong this time, rested for more than a week, and the company's affairs must have piled up like a mountain.

"I must come. I have to behave well before I officially become their son-in-law."

It was not serious to say a few words, I turned my head away and couldn't help laughing.
