Xichen sat in the car, looking at the car lights and neon lights in front of him, filling the air with light and shadow, and asked: "Fred, have you bought all the gifts for my parents?"
"Well, I've bought everything."
Hearing this, Fred turned to look at her, with a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Did you ask Jack to buy it?" Xichen continued to ask.
"Of course not, I bought it myself," Fred smiled slightly, and then continued, "This is a gift for my parents-in-law. If I don't choose it myself, how can I show my sincerity? It's just..."
"Just what?" Seeing that he stopped here, Xichen couldn't help blinking and asked curiously.
"It's just that it's past the time for spring tea to be on the market, and the tea leaves we buy now are not as fresh as those in spring."
When Fred said this, he frowned slightly.
This afternoon, he spent the entire afternoon studying tea. Then he learned that the best time to buy tea has actually passed. This undoubtedly left a mark in his heart for him who demands perfection in everything.
A little bit of regret.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, no matter what kind of tea you buy, even the cheapest one, as long as it comes to your mind, my dad will still be very happy."
Xichen didn't care about this. After all, his parents were ordinary working-class people and didn't make much money. Although his father loved tea, he never bought expensive tea. He wasn't particular about these things.
After hearing this, Fred said: "Haha, Xichen, I suddenly realized that you are indeed your parents' daughter."
"Ah? Of course I am my parents' daughter. What do you mean by that?" When Xichen heard what he said, he was confused and confused. He couldn't understand the meaning of these words at all.
Fred, on the other hand, saw that she didn't understand at all, and the arc of the corners of his lips widened a bit.
"It's not interesting. You understand." How could he tell her? What he meant was that she and her parents seemed to have simple minds.
If she found out about this, even though Xichen usually had a gentle personality, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't do something to him.
The two of them just sat in the car. When Fred felt bored, he would play some romantic and peaceful songs.
Soon, after driving at a slow speed for an hour, the car finally arrived at the community where Pan's parents lived.
Although it was the second time for the two doormen at the gate of the community to see this Aston Martin, their eyes were still full of surprise.
The car drove all the way to the downstairs of Xichen's house. At this time, it was already dark. Looking up, I could see the lights of thousands of houses and the neon lights on the nearby roads twinkling and reflecting each other.
After Fred took out the gifts he bought from the car, he and Xichen took the elevator upstairs.
After the doorbell rang "ding dong ding dong" twice, Pan's father's familiar voice soon came from the door: "Come on, come on."
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Pan's father was standing at the door, looking out the door with a faint smile on his face.
"Xichen, you are here. Come on, come in quickly."
As Pan's father said this, he bent over and took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him.
Xichen said quickly: "Dad, please go in and sit down, we can do it ourselves."
"Oh, okay." Pan's father saw this and did not argue with his daughter. Instead, he said, "Your mother is still busy in the kitchen. I'll go help. She'll be ready soon. You guys wait for a while."
"Okay, I understand, you can go ahead."
As Xichen said, he had already taken off his leather shoes, stepped directly on the floor and walked into the house. He opened the shoe cabinet and took out a pair of men's slippers first, placed them at Fred's feet, and then took a pair of women's slippers.
Put it on yourself.
When Fred entered the door, he first placed the gifts he was carrying on the very clean wooden floor, and then put the leather shoes they took off into the shoe cabinet.
Although this was just a simple matter, the two of them cooperated very well.
After closing the door, Xichen came to the dining table in the restaurant. This sight really shocked her.
I saw a huge table full of dishes.
All of them were steaming, obviously they had just been burned.
"You are really in luck today. It seems that my mother has brought out all her specialties to treat you."
Xichen turned her eyes and looked at Fred, who was already behind her, and her tone of voice was really sour.
"Haha, this means that my mother-in-law also likes me as my son-in-law."
Fred smiled proudly, but his big hand took Xichen's small hand hanging by his side. His face was filled with a strong sweetness.
"Hmph, just be pretty." Xichen said unconvinced.
"Yo, what are you two talking about?"
At this moment, Pan's mother's voice came from behind, and they both turned around and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw Pan's mother wearing a pair of gloves on her hands, carrying a bowl of fragrant soup, and walking towards the dining table.
Seeing this, Fred quickly said: "Mother-in-law, let me help you carry it."
"No, no, it's very hot. You and Xichen should go to the kitchen to wash your hands first and prepare to come over for dinner later."
Pan's mother did not let him take over, but insisted on doing it herself.
Seeing this, Fred had no choice but to say nothing. He looked at Xichen and then resolutely followed his mother-in-law's instructions and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
When the two of them went in, Pan's father had just washed his hands and came out of the kitchen, and said, "Hurry up. Otherwise the dishes will get cold."
"Dad, we know, we're just washing our hands, how can we waste so much time?"
When Xichen heard this, he immediately complained with dissatisfaction.
"That's not necessarily true. Who knows if you guys will do anything else in the kitchen?" Pan's father said, glancing at Fred and Xichen's hands that never let go, his eyes full of ambiguity.
of teasing.
When Xichen heard this, his pretty face turned red immediately, and he said in embarrassment, "Dad, you are thinking nonsense."
As she said that, she quickly let go of Fred's hand and walked towards the kitchen as if running away.
Fred smiled slightly, then pointed to the pile of things at the door and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I bought you some gifts. I hope you like them."
After finishing speaking, Fred also followed Xichen into the kitchen.
However, Pan's mother had just put down the soup bowl. When she heard what he said, she quickly said politely: "If you come to eat, you can eat. See what else you buy."
