Xu Qingzhu stayed under the maple tree all afternoon until his wife called.
...
His voice was completely hoarse from shouting all afternoon.
Thinking of his wife's worried and confused tone on the phone just now, his face showed a bit of helplessness.
How old is he? He still looks like a young boy.
There is no sense of proportion at all.
...
However, it is excusable, right?
His monster friend called him by name.
They had been together for more than ten years and he had never heard the other party call him his name.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, he would actually hear it?!
...
Although Ling Feng only called his name three times.
From then on, he kept calling Ling Feng's name happily.
...
However, the maple leaves move without wind and make a crisp and clean sound, which is very pleasant to the ears.
He knew that this was Ling Feng's response to him.
...
Moreover, this way of getting along was so familiar that he couldn't help but smile.
It's been like this from the beginning.
He was always talking non-stop.
But she was sitting quietly under the maple tree, her face cold but without any impatience.
Occasionally, I would give him a look or give him a slight curve at the corner of my mouth.
This further encouraged him to keep talking.
...
Thinking of what happened at that time, the smile on Xu Qingzhu's face turned into a bitter smile.
I really don’t know why I talk so much in front of her?
Obviously he is not a talkative person.
...
Probably because he knew that if he didn't take the initiative, maybe she wouldn't even have the intersection with him for more than ten years.
...
He worked so hard and almost tried his best to gain more than ten years of time with her.
...
Now that I think about it, he is really discerning.
He actually made friends with a monster.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
It is not an opportunity that ordinary people can have.
Even now, he still felt a strange sense of trance in his heart.
...
Xu Qingzhu's family had dinner with their elders in the courtyard.
In the afternoon, his wife called and he asked her to bring the children over for dinner.
...
The two elders of the Xu family were naturally very happy.
...
Xu Qingzhu's wife was sensitive to the fact that something was different about her husband.
In fact, she felt a little bit yesterday, but now, the feeling is getting stronger.
...
What happened?
...
The woman was a little confused.
But soon, she started laughing.
No matter what happened, she knew it must be a good thing.
It's enough for her to know this.
...
Xu Qingzhu’s wife is a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
Even though she knew that Xu Qingzhu might be mentally disturbed, she resolutely married into the Xu family.
...
She is not coveting the Xu family's property.
Although her family's financial situation is not as good as that of the Xu family, it is a scholarly family with small assets.
Perhaps influenced by such a family atmosphere, what she likes most is an elegant man like her father.
…
This was the first impression Xu Qingzhu gave her.
Not impetuous and childish like ordinary boys, Xu Qingzhu's words and deeds are calm and thoughtful, and he always has a gentle smile on his face.
Because of the good impression she felt in her heart, she always paid attention to him subconsciously.
But she was a little surprised to find that when he was alone, this boy always seemed a little depressed for some reason, as if something was weighing on his mind.
…
Later, she knew what happened.
…
She hesitated.
Her friends are also worried that she will be injured in the future.
she knows.
She is also worried.
She was afraid that she had sacrificed a lot, and when the other party came back in the end, she would still be completely defeated.
…
But, in the end, she still threw herself into this love without hesitation.
It's not easy.
The one-man show at the beginning was painful.
She thought about giving up several times.
…
Fortunately, she persisted.
She married him.
They have a child.
He is very kind to her.
…
She could feel that her husband's feelings for his missing playmate were actually just friendship.
Maybe this friendship was once love.
No, it probably can't be called love.
She couldn't help but smile.
Her husband once told her that just when he wanted to confess his love, the other party disappeared.
So, to be precise, this should be her husband's unrequited love.
…
Now, it seems that she has finally waited until her husband has completely let go.
Is it because that person...came back?
…
Because Xu Qingzhu drank a little, his wife drove him home.
Feeling the cool breeze blowing outside the window, Xu Qingzhu closed her eyes slightly in comfort.
…
"Xiaowan, I saw her."
Xu Qingzhu suddenly spoke with a slight smile on his face.
Even if it's just the sound.
However, what is incredible is that the memory of the past suddenly became vivid.
The figure that was gradually becoming blurry became clear again in his memory.
…
"she's fine."
"Yeah?"
"Um."
"Are you relieved now?"
"not worried."
…
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"
Their son raised his head from his phone and looked at the two people in the front row with confusion.
…
"It's just that Dad met a friend he hadn't seen for a long time."
Xu Qingzhu spoke with a smile.
"oh."
Although it still felt a bit strange, the boy was stunned for a few seconds. Without thinking much, he lowered his head and sent a message to his companion.
…
Xu Qingzhu and his wife looked at each other and smiled.
…
Originally, Xu Qingzhu wanted to invite Master Xiao to dinner at noon today because he heard Ling Feng's voice yesterday.
Unfortunately, we had already arranged a dinner with Wang Tong before.
So looking at Wang Tong's hearty smile in front of him, his face was a little dark.
"What's wrong? Mr. Xu, your face is so ugly. Who messed with you?"
Wang Tong said very proudly, "I will help you teach him a lesson."
…
"oh."
Xu Qingzhu smiled half-heartedly, "Then you should teach yourself a lesson first."
…
"Hey, me?"
Wang Tong was a little confused, "What's wrong with me?"
"Is it wrong for me to treat guests to dinner?"
Wang Tong expressed that he was wronged.
…
"I originally wanted to treat Master Xiao to dinner today at noon."
Because Wang Tong knew Master Xiao and knew what was unusual about Master Xiao, Xu Qingzhu did not shy away and directly stated his original plan.
…
"Invite Master Xiao to dinner?"
"Okay, then please do."
Wang Tong's eyes lit up.
Immediately noticing the other person's gaze, he thought quickly and suddenly said, "Oh, why do you care about me?"
"I can come too."
"I don't mind."
…
Xu Qingzhu:......
This guy's face is really getting thicker.
…
"hey-hey."
Reading the meaning of the expression on Xu Qingzhu's face, Wang Tong smiled honestly and said, "I can wait for you outside first."
"When you've finished talking about things, I'll go in and we'll have dinner together."
