Shi Lei and I started falling in love in our sophomore year, and separated within a few months after graduation. During this period, to be honest, I didn’t have much of an impression of Gao Zijian. If we had to make the story between us longer, then I would
The day that left a deep impression on him was this year's Valentine's Day.
Gao Zijian said, Chen Xiaojia, a long time ago, there was such a person who liked you. I was wondering where exactly this morning was. The time when I went to the ancient town? The time when I took pictures on the viewing platform? Or, other times?
Unfortunately, before I had time to ask, Gao Zijian's phone rang.
The call was from Gao Zijian. I was sitting next to him and when I heard her sharp voice coming from the other end of the phone, I knew something must have happened.
It turned out that the old man was so angry that he was admitted to the hospital when he learned that Gao Zijian did not go to see Liu Shihan and went to the hospital to find my girlfriend.
This is good. Before I came out of the hospital in good health, the old man relapsed and was admitted directly. Speaking of which, it is quite tragic.
Gao Zijian drove very fast, and within a short while, the two of us arrived at the hospital.
Uncle Gao's ward was also in the exclusive ward of the provincial hospital. When Gao Zijian and I walked to the door of the ward, we saw Auntie Gao and Gao Ziran standing in front of the bed with worried faces and ugly faces.
"Mom." Gao Zijian called softly, and the aunt turned to look at us and signaled us not to go in. She came out.
I stood behind Gao Zijian and watched the aunt who was dressed dignifiedly and looked like a lady slowly walking from the ward. It was different from the last time I saw her at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her face was not very good. She walked to the door.
Never stopped.
Gao Zijian and I followed her. What I didn't expect was that auntie walked to the door of my ward and walked in.
I suddenly had an ominous premonition. My aunt hadn't said a word since she first walked out until now, which already made me feel nervous. Fortunately, she even knew my ward number.
I pulled Gao Zijian's hand a little, and he turned to look at me and gave me an encouraging look.
I took a breath and followed Gao Zijian into the ward.
"Auntie, sit down." I ran up, moved the chair in front of Gao Zijian's mother, and said with a smile.
She glanced at me, then at Gao Zijian, raised her hand and said, "You two should sit down too."
How could I dare to sit down immediately in front of my elders? After watching my aunt sit on the chair, I sat down obediently.
The first time we met was at the Civil Affairs Bureau. At that time, Gao Zijian and I were not even ordinary friends, and there was no sense of nervousness at all. This time was different. Liu Shihan clearly scored higher than me in front of Gao Zijian’s parents. I led him up the stairs.
Get out of here, let alone who is right or wrong, the facts are so strong that it is inevitable to lose points.
What I can do is try to control the extent of the points deduction so that I won't be kicked out before the daughter-in-law becomes a daughter-in-law or the love rival is defeated.
In front of my mother-in-law, it is true that I am well-behaved.
"Zijian, won't you introduce this girl to me?" Auntie raised her eyes slightly, glanced at me, and smiled faintly.
Gao Zijian was not nervous at all, and said with a smile: "Mom, she is my girlfriend, her name is Chen Yujia, you can just call her Xiaojia."
I looked at my aunt nervously, smiled softly, and said, "Hello, aunt."
Auntie nodded to me and said, "It's pretty good."
Gao Zijian rubbed my head with his big hand and said, "Didn't I make it clear to the old man? Why are you still so stubborn? What did the doctor say?"
"I told you it's an old habit that happened again." Auntie glanced at me and said calmly, "We don't care if you young people fall in love, but you still have to have a degree in everything. The Liu family's status in this city
It should not be underestimated, Shihan is also a good boy, Zijian, what you did this time is indeed wrong."
I've known for a long time that saying "pretty good" is just a pretentious comment, and what's really important is yet to come.
Gao Zijian coughed lightly and said, "Mom, Xiaojia didn't mean it. After all, the stairs are a bit slippery..."
"Zijian," the aunt directly interrupted Gao Zijian and said, "your father and your Uncle Liu also talked on the phone before coming here. Shihan kept saying that he accidentally fell. Otherwise, your father would definitely
I’m going to peel off your skin.”
Gao Zijian stood up from the hospital bed, held his aunt's hand and said, "Mom, don't you know who your son is? Liu Shihan is just a little sister."
"Okay, you're old enough now. Leave Night City to Dashu and the others. Don't go to that kind of place too often. It won't have a good reputation if word spreads around, let alone..." Auntie said and looked at me again,
He continued: "When you are in love, you must have a sense of proportion. No mother-in-law would like a son-in-law who fights back and forth. Do you understand?"
Am I overthinking this? Which mother-in-law doesn’t like a son-in-law who fights back and forth? This is telling me, which mother-in-law doesn’t like her daughter-in-law rolling down the stairs?
I swallowed lightly and watched Gao Zijian dragging his aunt out of the ward. Gao Zijian turned around and winked at me. I immediately followed and sent my aunt to Uncle Gao's ward.
Gao Zijian ran in both directions, sending Auntie away, and then sent me back. Sitting on the hospital bed, I glanced at the stool where Auntie was sitting just now, and asked Gao Zijian: "Gao Zijian, was my performance too poor? I just...
Very nervous, I..."
"As a family, there is no such thing as being rude. My mother usually talks a lot. Didn't I get her into trouble? Be good, don't think too much..." Gao Zijian gently rubbed my hair and said.
"It's all my fault, I'm sorry..."
"What are you talking about? I, Gao Zijian, just like to deal with troubles for Chen Xiaojia. I am happy and no one has to worry about it!" Gao Zijian pinched my ears and said with a smile.
Being teased like this by Gao Zijian, my mood immediately improved a lot. I smiled and said, "Go to Auntie's place quickly. She definitely wants to talk to you more now."
Gao Zijian nodded, carried me to the bed, kissed me on the forehead, covered me with the quilt, turned and walked out of the ward.
This night, I slept very uneasily.
Not to mention the things that happened recently, just that look in my aunt's eyes made me feel uneasy.
Women's intuition is very keen. I suddenly felt that in the future life, this mother-in-law might...
I told Durian what I was thinking. On the one hand, she comforted me and said that I was thinking too much. On the other hand, she gave me some advice.
She said, since we have seen each other anyway, it is better to be more natural and generous. Instead of being trembling, it is better to be true to ourselves. People's hearts are full of flesh and blood. She will not deliberately make me unhappy, unless he doesn't want his son anymore.
The topics between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are always constant. The problems between Gao Zijian and I have not been resolved yet, and another mother-in-law has arrived. How could she not make me confused?
After a physical examination in the morning, X-rays and CT scans, the doctor said there was nothing serious, and I was ready to leave the hospital. Whenever I think about my future parents-in-law next door, I can’t help but feel the pressure on my forehead.
Come.
Durian also suggested that I be discharged from the hospital. She said that my relationship with Gao Zijian was still in its early stages, and there was no need to have early contact with my mother-in-law. I went through the discharge procedures, and when I was quick, I went to the supermarket opposite the hospital to buy fruits and supplements.
My uncle and aunt sent it to me.
What I didn't expect was that before I even reached the door, I heard the laughter coming from the ward.
Gao Zijian went to work and Gao Ziran was in class. What about this laughter?
"Eh? Sister Xiaojia, are you here?" A voice came to my ears. I raised my head and saw Liu Shihan with bandages on her hands looking at me with a bright smile.
"Yes," I nodded gently, carried the fruit basket and supplements in, looked at Uncle Gao on the hospital bed and the aunt standing beside me, and said, "Uncle and aunt, I am discharged from the hospital today and come to see you.
"
It always feels awkward to say this sentence in the same hospital.
"Well," Auntie glanced at me and said, "It's good to be young. Look at us, we are really old."
"Auntie, look at you, how old are you? Last time we went for manicure, the shopping guide said you look like my sister, right?" Liu Shihan directly connected with what her aunt was saying, without me interjecting at all.
I glanced at Uncle Gao lying on the hospital bed. Although he was a patient, the aura from the inside out on his body could not be hidden, especially those deep black eyes, which made me panic.
Gao Zijian is away, and Liu Shihan has a closer relationship than me and my two elders. Me being here is simply a big joke.
So, I made an excuse, said hello to my uncle and aunt, and walked out of the ward.
Liu Shihan stopped me and followed her uncle and aunt behind her and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'm going to see Miss Jia off. You guys stay here for now. The servant will come over later to deliver the meal."
I really don’t know if this sentence was meant for the elders or me. But this is not important now. It is more important to leave here and take a breather.
Liu Shihan followed me until she reached the top of the stairs, and then she said, "Sister, be careful, the stairs are slippery and the road is slippery as well."
I turned my head and looked at Liu Shihan, smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. It's been raining for the past two days. Sister, you have to be careful when squeezing into the bus or taking a car." Liu Shihan raised her chin, with concern in her voice.
I nodded and said, "I'm leaving first."
"Oh, I remembered," Liu Shihan said with a look of realization on her face, "I heard that you and my cousin were roommates in college, right?"
Cousin? Roommate?
"Liu Meiting, you should know her. I came back from her last engagement ceremony. You should also know my cousin-in-law, right?" Liu Shihan raised her head, blinked at the top of her head, and said, "It seems, his name is Shi Lei, I don't know who he is.
