Teacher Lu did not like Xiao Chuyi on a whim.
He had probably forgotten that shortly after he arrived, the students skipped classes collectively over the wall, and Teacher Lu was called to the principal's office to accept criticism.
Although several teachers had already been angered and left at that time, Teacher Lu was always in charge of this class, and she didn't dare to make trouble with other teachers who were vacant, so she was the only one who took charge of this class.
If there is a problem in the class, she will naturally be responsible.
The principal was also very angry, and said some serious words. Teacher Lu was already thin-skinned, and his eyes were red immediately, so he could only lower his head to cover up, and responded softly.
At that moment, Xiao Chuyi knocked on the door and came in.
When the students were brought back, the headmaster had told him to be full of worries, and to report back immediately if there was any situation.
It turned out to be a good thing. The principal was still worried, but he relaxed a little, and said a few words to Teacher Lu meaningfully.
Standing in front of Teacher Lu, Xiao Chuyi naturally took the responsibility.
"I'll pay attention to it in the future," he finally promised.
At that time, he had just arrived, and he didn't even remember the names of the students in the class clearly, so he didn't have to bear any responsibility at all.
Even going back to the past, the behavior of students skipping classes is already commonplace. If he doesn't mention it, the principal will not say anything to him.
However, seeing Teacher Lu being angered, he felt that it should not be done, and it was not easy to refute the principal's face, so he took the initiative to respond.
To Xiao Chuyi, this was just a trivial matter, and he might have forgotten it when he left the house, but to that person who was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, it was like a life-saving voice.
Some small thoughts that cannot be told to outsiders are built from here.
Teacher Lu knew that Xiao Chuyi didn't like her.
He treats everyone equally. There are not a few people in school who are obsessed with his face, and some people with low EQ talk about him running on him openly and secretly. He never cares, and can still smile at those people when he turns his head.
But that's all there is to it—always maintained at a distant and polite distance.
It seems that nothing can enter his eyes, no matter good or bad, let alone leave any traces.
Does such a person also have someone to like?
Teacher Lu, who received a refusal, was filled with uncontrollable doubts.
When returning to school after the holiday, Teacher Lu was a little apprehensive and embarrassed at first, and only then did she have the time to worry.
Although she knows that Teacher Xiao is not the kind of person who likes to gossip with a big mouth, but in case... a group of people in the office can't look up and look down, if these gossips are spread, it will probably become a chat and joke after dinner. It makes people feel stuck in the throat.
Teacher Lu didn't want to change jobs, so he had to prepare himself mentally.
But nothing happened.
Everything was as usual, familiar colleagues walked to the office together when they met by chance, and a gossip male colleague came over as usual to wink and hint.
When he bumped into the person who was looking for the location with the navigation, he just smiled and greeted them.
Just like countless ordinary mornings before.
This immediately relieved Teacher Lu's nervousness and embarrassment a lot.
An ordinary day passed quickly as usual, and it was so calm and normal that Teacher Lu was almost confused, whether those little thoughts and confessions before the holiday were just her own vain dreams.
Maybe it was just a dream.
When Teacher Lu packed up his things and prepared to go back, he was relieved that the expected embarrassment did not appear, but also felt a sense of loss.
"Ms. Xiao, what a coincidence, are you ready to go home? Do you want me to take you for a ride?"
The voice from the front caught Teacher Lu's attention, and she couldn't help but look up.
Xiao Chuyi walked slowly outside the school gate, and met a colleague from the same office on the way.
Faced with the kindness of his colleagues, he just shook his head.
"Thank you. But there's no need." Xiao Chuyi replied, "Someone is here to pick me up."
The colleague poked his arm gossipingly and winked at him: "Could it be your girlfriend?"
Xiao Chuyi smiled without answering, and reminded: "There is a parking lot ahead."
The colleague stopped in his tracks, unable to ask any further questions, so he had to wave goodbye to him.
What Xiao Chuyi said was not an excuse, when he walked outside the school gate, there was indeed someone waiting for him at the school gate.
Teacher Lu stood in a daze not far away, and when the other party stepped out of his field of vision, he subconsciously followed him quickly.
When she saw the man again, he was already standing beside the car.
The person who picked him up was probably next to him. The two were talking and laughing in low voices, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Teacher Lu paused, and his heart skipped a beat.
She knew another man, who was Sheng Jianghe's parents.
To be precise, it was my uncle, but because the child's parents were too busy, I entrusted him to take care of it for the time being.
She had also heard some rumors before, for example, Teacher Xiao knew the Sheng family and was still a neighbor.
This is not a particularly surprising thing, and some people joke that the rich people in the world are all a family, and they are all acquaintances.
It's no secret that Xiao Chuyi and Sheng Jianghe often go home together.
It's just that this time the holiday has just ended, the school has a meeting, the off-duty time has been extended, and the students have already gone home from school.
That person came here specially to pick up Teacher Xiao.
Teacher Lu didn't have a deep understanding of this fact at first, but subconsciously stopped in the middle of the road, and didn't dare to go forward to disturb him.
Then she saw Teacher Xiao got into the car, and she could still see his face through the open window.
His eyes turned to the other side, as if to say something, and then another person moved closer to him and pressed a kiss on the corner of his lips.
Light and natural.
Xiao Chuyi was startled, but he didn't see any anger, instead he smiled softly.
Soon the car started and drove out of the intersection. Teacher Lu was still in place and did not respond.
It took a long time before she stroked her chest, let out a long breath, and sighed softly.
It turned out that it was true.
That was probably what he called... "the person he likes".
Xiao Chuyi was unable to return to City A during the New Year's Day holiday because he was busy taking care of several children.
In the early morning of the first day of the holiday, Xiao Chuyi was awakened by the ringing of the phone. He subconsciously pulled the quilt over his head, but he could also feel the movement around him.
Following the sinking of the bed and the sound of light footsteps, another familiar voice sounded outside the door.
Although the other party deliberately lowered his voice, Xiao Chuyi still heard some key words in a daze.
He woke up with a start.
When sitting up from the bed, Xiao Chuyi had messy hair on his head, before he was shocked by the current situation, another person pushed the door and walked in.
Sheng Yuhang leaned against the door and looked at him, he was also messed up as if he had been through some kind of war.
There was a slightly astonished expression on his face, but he soon came back to his senses, subdued those dazes, and only a little sadness remained.
"Aunt Qiu is dying." Sheng Yuhang said.
Xiao Chuyi was stunned for a long time, and his sluggish brain took a while to accept the true meaning of this sentence.
So their vacation fell through, and there was no time for more heart-to-heart talks.
Ms. Qiu was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in the morning, but this time she still couldn't make it through, and she completely lost her anger when the sunset gradually rose in the afternoon.
Of course, family members and relatives should be notified of this kind of thing, but Lin Zhe couldn't come back for a while, and Ms. Qiu didn't have any other relatives, and only her son's friends and people sponsored by her came to help deal with the funeral. .
The Sheng family has a good relationship with Ms. Qiu, but the others couldn't come back immediately, so they could only tell Sheng Yuhang, begging him to help.
From a distance, Xiao Chuyi could hear the sobbing and sobbing on the phone.
The two have been in contact for many years, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary. Even if he and Ms. Qiu only met a few times, he would feel quite uncomfortable in his heart, let alone those close friends.
The living person whom he had only met not long ago turned into a white cloth in the blink of an eye, separating yin and yang.
Life is such a fragile and ruthless thing, when it is time to leave, no one can keep it.
Those who could rush over were those who had respect and regret for Ms. Qiu, and some people couldn't stop crying as soon as they entered the door.
These people are already mourning like this even if they are not close relatives, so what kind of pain should those relatives who really support each other depend on each other.
Xiao Chuyi didn't dare to think about it any further.
Fortunately, he has a mediocre relationship with Ms. Qiu's family, and many things are not his turn to handle, and he doesn't have to always contact those who are grieving.
When the adults are busy, they can't take care of the children, and those few happen to be his students, so Xiao Chuyi took over the task of taking care of the children.
Originally, he didn't plan to return to City A during this holiday, but now he has a more sufficient reason. Mother Xiao didn't force him, and she was rather embarrassed after hearing about it.
Among these people, besides Lin Zhe, An Ziyue was the saddest.
In the past few days, even Sheng Jianghe has learned to speak softly, comforting his little friend awkwardly.
Ms. Qiu's illness has been going on for several years, and her family is more or less psychologically prepared.
After crying a lot, An Ziyue calmed down. She would occasionally hide and shed a few tears, but she already knew that she would not cause trouble to the adults.
By the time the funeral was over, the few days of New Year's Day holiday had passed.
An Ziyue is still being taken care of by a nanny for the time being, and several girls who have been sponsored by Ms. Qiu have discussed going to visit and take care of her from time to time.
Together with Cheng Sijia, the two always travel together, which somewhat contributed to An Ziyue's emotional stability.
The dead are gone, and the living always have to look forward.
On an ordinary morning, Xiao Chuyi woke up from his sleep, and stared blankly at the snowy scene outside the window.
A heavy snow fell the night before, and when the morning light fell, it reflected a snow-white light.
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, silver flowers bloomed on the bare branches outside the window, which is a dream-like beauty.
It's just that maybe it's too early, there is no one in the community, and there is silence between the sky and the earth, it seems to be standing alone in an isolated world.
He also seemed to have such an empty dream, so that he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a while.
In the dream, he saw himself floating in the dark cemetery, watching his icy body sinking into the ground little by little.
There was a faint cry full of pain and reluctance in his ears. He wanted to reach out, but only touched the darkness of nothingness.
Until a gust of cold wind blew by, he shivered subconsciously, and a pair of hands stretched out behind him pulled him back to the warm bed.
"what happened?"
Along with the low and gentle voice, there is a warm embrace.
Xiao Chuyi hasn't recovered yet, staring blankly at the ceiling, and softly replied: "...I had a nightmare."
"What dream?"
Xiao Chuyi didn't answer, but turned his head, his eyes gradually became clear, and the shadow of another person was reflected.
After a while he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why are you here?"
Theoretically speaking, Sheng Yuhang confessed to him, and he agreed, so they should be regarded as a serious couple.
It's just that he was too busy some time ago, Xiao Chuyi didn't turn around for a while, and a person with more than [-] years of single dog experience turned his head to look at the person lying beside him, still feeling a little dazed and confused from time to time.
Just like at this moment, Xiao Chuyi's brain was still in chaos just after waking up, and he was thinking about why there was another person beside him.
The person next to him was indifferent: "Sleep."
Xiao Chuyi: "..."
"No..." Xiao Chuyi paused, trying to sort out his confused thoughts, "Don't you think... our progress is too fast?"
Sheng Yuhang raised his eyebrows: "Where is it fast?"
"..." The inexperienced Xiao Chuyi was silent again, and after a while he guessed dryly, "Should we go on a date first?"
"Didn't you already have an appointment?" Sheng Yuhang took Xiao Chuyi's hand, and kissed the back of his hand, "I also held hands."
Xiao Chuyi was speechless for a moment, and looked away belatedly.
The gentle warmth on the back of his hand made his fingertips tremble uncontrollably.
Originally, he thought that he would never be embarrassed by such emotions, but obviously he overestimated himself too much.
The person in front of him led him to walk down a completely unfamiliar road for him.
Sometimes he will be at a loss, but he is also willing to hand over his hands and let the other party lead him forward.
This is about the biggest bet he has ever made in his life.
However, not annoying.
The strength of Xiao Chuyi's hand to stop gradually weakened, and then a kiss landed on the corner of his lips, which slowly slid down.
Out of the corner of his eye was the snow starting to fall again.
However, this time the falling snow was warm.
Soon after New Year's Day is the Spring Festival.
This year's Spring Festival is earlier than in previous years. The previous long holiday was only one month younger, and in the blink of an eye, this traditional festival, which symbolizes reunion and excitement, is here again.
Sheng Yuhang has been in a good mood these days, but when the Chinese New Year is approaching, his mood is not so good.
The Sheng family is busy all year round, and it is only during the Spring Festival that there is a rare opportunity to reunite.
Because Sheng Yuhang returned to China early, and the work of the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family had already come to an end before the Spring Festival, the family made a plan to return to China to spend the holiday together.
Faced with the family he hadn't seen for a long time, Sheng Yuhang also missed and looked forward to it.
He had already planned to take Xiao Chuyi to meet his parents when he came back from City A. If he had time, he might visit City A in advance.
However, a few days before the Spring Festival, Sheng Yuhang waited for an apologetic call from his parents.
"Xiao Hang, I'm really sorry, my parents have something to do here temporarily, so I can't go back for the time being, please take care of the company. I will go back to see you when we finish our work here. This year, you will make do with yourself. ..."
Just a few days before this, Sheng Jianghe had just been taken by his parents to his grandparents for vacation, and they also brought An Ziyue and Cheng Sijia with them, in the name of relaxing.
The company has a backlog of work at the end of the year, and it is really inseparable from people. If his parents don't come back for the New Year, then Sheng Yuhang can only stay in the country alone for the New Year.
This is somewhat regrettable.
Although the Sheng family tries to find time to reunite every Spring Festival, unexpected accidents are not unique.
So although Sheng Yuhang was a little disappointed, he didn't think too much about it, and just regarded it as another sudden accident.
Besides, he is an adult, and he won't be so wronged that he will cry when he spends a festival alone.
After patiently dealing with the repeatedly apologetic parents, Sheng Yuhang was silent for a moment facing the calendar, and decisively advanced a certain plan.
At the same time, Mother Sheng on the other end of the phone just hung up the phone, put away her apologetic look, and turned to look at her husband and eldest son excitedly.
"Am I pretending to be like it?" Sheng's mother asked, "Does it sound very disappointing and sad?"
Father Sheng held up a newspaper to cover his face, and nodded perfunctorily: "Like like."
The big brother of the Sheng family twitched the corner of his mouth twice. After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help reminding: "Well...Mom, what if Xiaohang leaves?"
"No, no, no. Where can he go with his nerdy temper?" Sheng's mother waved her hand nonchalantly, "Besides, I have already said hello to the company, and I specially arranged some more work, why? It is enough to say that he has been busy until the Chinese New Year."
The eldest brother of the Sheng family had a complex expression, hesitant to speak.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with his poor younger brother who was tricked, or remind his mother that her youngest son has always been the one who doesn't play cards according to common sense.
However, Sheng's mother was busy with work before, and she was overly depressed. She finally slowed down her work rhythm because of illness.
The good news is that she got enough rest and her body has recovered. The bad news is that her bad taste of cheating her son has come out again.
The eldest brother of the Sheng family, who was abused by his mother when he was young, has mixed feelings.
As the most upright one in the family, he pondered for a moment, and finally closed his mouth.
Anyway, his brother spent a lot of time with his mother when he was a child, so he should have been familiar with her character for a long time, and he might have exposed his mother's pranks long ago.
Even if it doesn't expose...Sheng Yuhang will definitely not be the one who suffers.
It is not entirely true that the son is a "pit", but Mama Sheng feels that the youngest son is born with a paralyzed smiling face and too little mood swings, so she prepares a "surprise" for him on a whim.
Soon after the year is Sheng Yuhang's birthday, which is one of the reasons why the Sheng family will get together as much as possible every year.
However, due to the busy work in previous years, there were not many opportunities to really celebrate his birthday.
The previous year, Mama Sheng forgot her son's birthday because of her busy work. She felt guilty and promised to celebrate his birthday with him next year.
This year happened to have some free time, and in order to let the young son, who had never been too calm, experience the feeling of "surprise" more deeply, Mama Sheng was going to make a statement.
Let him down first, then surprise him.
The eldest brother of the Sheng family responded with a skeptical attitude.
Sheng Yuhang is no longer a child, he doesn't care much about his birthday at all, not to mention the casual promise made by Sheng's mother, he might not even remember his birthday, let alone care about such insignificant things.
But in the Sheng family, Mama Sheng is at the top of the food chain—by the way, the ones at the bottom are probably Big Brother Sheng and Papa Sheng.
So except for the younger brother of the Sheng family who was not present, no one dared to disobey Mama Sheng's whim.
So the matter was settled.
Then, at noon on New Year's Eve, the Sheng family returned to City B with their families.
Facing an empty home.
From the company to the apartment, there was no one there where Sheng Yuhang was supposed to be.
The new employees of the company stood tremblingly in front of the former big boss, full of apprehension and bewilderment, and finally welcomed Mr. Assistant, the savior.
When seeing the parents of the Sheng family, the assistant was quite surprised: "Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, why are you back?"
After saying hello, Mama Sheng asked straight to the point, "Where's Xiaohang?"
"The boss is home from get off work." The assistant paused, and added, "The work has been completed, and in two or three hours, we are going to give the employees a holiday."
Sheng's mother was a little surprised: "It's so fast? What stimulated him?"
Father Sheng touched his wife's arm, coughed twice, and signaled her to save face for her son in front of others: "Then let's go back too, call and ask."
As soon as the phone call was made, the "surprise" plan was completely ruined.
But no one was found, and the surprise was meaningless at all.
Mama Sheng curled her lips rather bored, looking very disappointed.
But it is still important to find a son.
It took a while before the call was connected: "Who is there?"
The voice on the other side was as gentle and unhurried as ever.
"Xiaohang, aren't you at home now?"
"Mom?" Sheng Yuhang paused, then replied, "Well, I'm in the car."
"When will you be home?"
"next year."
"..." Mama Sheng was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but confirm again, "When?"
"The day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Sheng Yuhang replied in a warm voice, "It may be later."
Mama Sheng frowned: "You're not in City B anymore?"
"Yes. On the way to City A."
"...What are you going to do in City A?"
"Well... Let's get a partner."
"..."
He had probably forgotten that shortly after he arrived, the students skipped classes collectively over the wall, and Teacher Lu was called to the principal's office to accept criticism.
Although several teachers had already been angered and left at that time, Teacher Lu was always in charge of this class, and she didn't dare to make trouble with other teachers who were vacant, so she was the only one who took charge of this class.

Theoretically speaking, Sheng Yuhang confessed to him, and he agreed, so they should be regarded as a serious couple.
It's just that he was too busy some time ago, Xiao Chuyi didn't turn around for a while, and a person with more than [-] years of single dog experience turned his head to look at the person lying beside him, still feeling a little dazed and confused from time to time.
Just like at this moment, Xiao Chuyi's brain was still in chaos just after waking up, and he was thinking about why there was another person beside him.
The person next to him was indifferent: "Sleep."
Xiao Chuyi: "..."
"No..." Xiao Chuyi paused, trying to sort out his confused thoughts, "Don't you think... our progress is too fast?"
Sheng Yuhang raised his eyebrows: "Where is it fast?"
"..." The inexperienced Xiao Chuyi was silent again, and after a while he guessed dryly, "Should we go on a date first?"
"Didn't you already have an appointment?" Sheng Yuhang took Xiao Chuyi's hand, and kissed the back of his hand, "I also held hands."
Xiao Chuyi was speechless for a moment, and looked away belatedly.
The gentle warmth on the back of his hand made his fingertips tremble uncontrollably.
Originally, he thought that he would never be embarrassed by such emotions, but obviously he overestimated himself too much.
The person in front of him led him to walk down a completely unfamiliar road for him.
Sometimes he will be at a loss, but he is also willing to hand over his hands and let the other party lead him forward.
This is about the biggest bet he has ever made in his life.
However, not annoying.
The strength of Xiao Chuyi's hand to stop gradually weakened, and then a kiss landed on the corner of his lips, which slowly slid down.
Out of the corner of his eye was the snow starting to fall again.
However, this time the falling snow was warm.
Soon after New Year's Day is the Spring Festival.
This year's Spring Festival is earlier than in previous years. The previous long holiday was only one month younger, and in the blink of an eye, this traditional festival, which symbolizes reunion and excitement, is here again.
Sheng Yuhang has been in a good mood these days, but when the Chinese New Year is approaching, his mood is not so good.
The Sheng family is busy all year round, and it is only during the Spring Festival that there is a rare opportunity to reunite.
Because Sheng Yuhang returned to China early, and the work of the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sheng family had already come to an end before the Spring Festival, the family made a plan to return to China to spend the holiday together.
Faced with the family he hadn't seen for a long time, Sheng Yuhang also missed and looked forward to it.
He had already planned to take Xiao Chuyi to meet his parents when he came back from City A. If he had time, he might visit City A in advance.
However, a few days before the Spring Festival, Sheng Yuhang waited for an apologetic call from his parents.
"Xiao Hang, I'm really sorry, my parents have something to do here temporarily, so I can't go back for the time being, please take care of the company. I will go back to see you when we finish our work here. This year, you will make do with yourself. ..."
Just a few days before this, Sheng Jianghe had just been taken by his parents to his grandparents for vacation, and they also brought An Ziyue and Cheng Sijia with them, in the name of relaxing.
The company has a backlog of work at the end of the year, and it is really inseparable from people. If his parents don't come back for the New Year, then Sheng Yuhang can only stay in the country alone for the New Year.
This is somewhat regrettable.
Although the Sheng family tries to find time to reunite every Spring Festival, unexpected accidents are not unique.
So although Sheng Yuhang was a little disappointed, he didn't think too much about it, and just regarded it as another sudden accident.
Besides, he is an adult, and he won't be so wronged that he will cry when he spends a festival alone.
After patiently dealing with the repeatedly apologetic parents, Sheng Yuhang was silent for a moment facing the calendar, and decisively advanced a certain plan.
At the same time, Mother Sheng on the other end of the phone just hung up the phone, put away her apologetic look, and turned to look at her husband and eldest son excitedly.
"Am I pretending to be like it?" Sheng's mother asked, "Does it sound very disappointing and sad?"
Father Sheng held up a newspaper to cover his face, and nodded perfunctorily: "Like like."
The big brother of the Sheng family twitched the corner of his mouth twice. After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help reminding: "Well...Mom, what if Xiaohang leaves?"
"No, no, no. Where can he go with his nerdy temper?" Sheng's mother waved her hand nonchalantly, "Besides, I have already said hello to the company, and I specially arranged some more work, why? It is enough to say that he has been busy until the Chinese New Year."
The eldest brother of the Sheng family had a complex expression, hesitant to speak.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with his poor younger brother who was tricked, or remind his mother that her youngest son has always been the one who doesn't play cards according to common sense.
However, Sheng's mother was busy with work before, and she was overly depressed. She finally slowed down her work rhythm because of illness.
The good news is that she got enough rest and her body has recovered. The bad news is that her bad taste of cheating her son has come out again.
The eldest brother of the Sheng family, who was abused by his mother when he was young, has mixed feelings.
As the most upright one in the family, he pondered for a moment, and finally closed his mouth.
Anyway, his brother spent a lot of time with his mother when he was a child, so he should have been familiar with her character for a long time, and he might have exposed his mother's pranks long ago.
Even if it doesn't expose...Sheng Yuhang will definitely not be the one who suffers.
It is not entirely true that the son is a "pit", but Mama Sheng feels that the youngest son is born with a paralyzed smiling face and too little mood swings, so she prepares a "surprise" for him on a whim.
Soon after the year is Sheng Yuhang's birthday, which is one of the reasons why the Sheng family will get together as much as possible every year.
However, due to the busy work in previous years, there were not many opportunities to really celebrate his birthday.
The previous year, Mama Sheng forgot her son's birthday because of her busy work. She felt guilty and promised to celebrate his birthday with him next year.
This year happened to have some free time, and in order to let the young son, who had never been too calm, experience the feeling of "surprise" more deeply, Mama Sheng was going to make a statement.
Let him down first, then surprise him.
The eldest brother of the Sheng family responded with a skeptical attitude.
Sheng Yuhang is no longer a child, he doesn't care much about his birthday at all, not to mention the casual promise made by Sheng's mother, he might not even remember his birthday, let alone care about such insignificant things.
But in the Sheng family, Mama Sheng is at the top of the food chain—by the way, the ones at the bottom are probably Big Brother Sheng and Papa Sheng.
So except for the younger brother of the Sheng family who was not present, no one dared to disobey Mama Sheng's whim.
So the matter was settled.
Then, at noon on New Year's Eve, the Sheng family returned to City B with their families.
Facing an empty home.
From the company to the apartment, there was no one there where Sheng Yuhang was supposed to be.
The new employees of the company stood tremblingly in front of the former big boss, full of apprehension and bewilderment, and finally welcomed Mr. Assistant, the savior.
When seeing the parents of the Sheng family, the assistant was quite surprised: "Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, why are you back?"
After saying hello, Mama Sheng asked straight to the point, "Where's Xiaohang?"
"The boss is home from get off work." The assistant paused, and added, "The work has been completed, and in two or three hours, we are going to give the employees a holiday."
Sheng's mother was a little surprised: "It's so fast? What stimulated him?"
Father Sheng touched his wife's arm, coughed twice, and signaled her to save face for her son in front of others: "Then let's go back too, call and ask."
As soon as the phone call was made, the "surprise" plan was completely ruined.
But no one was found, and the surprise was meaningless at all.
Mama Sheng curled her lips rather bored, looking very disappointed.
But it is still important to find a son.
It took a while before the call was connected: "Who is there?"
The voice on the other side was as gentle and unhurried as ever.
"Xiaohang, aren't you at home now?"
"Mom?" Sheng Yuhang paused, then replied, "Well, I'm in the car."
"When will you be home?"
"next year."
"..." Mama Sheng was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but confirm again, "When?"
"The day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Sheng Yuhang replied in a warm voice, "It may be later."
Mama Sheng frowned: "You're not in City B anymore?"
"Yes. On the way to City A."
"...What are you going to do in City A?"
"Well... Let's get a partner."
"..."
