Today is the day for Liu Zhiyue's high school entrance examination.
Compared with the days when An Yuanyao was pregnant, Liu Changqing is obviously much more relaxed now. The arrival of his mother-in-law means that he does not have to stay with his wife for a long time, so the important task of sending the child to the examination room also falls on Liu Changqing.
7:05 am time.
Liu Changqing and Liu Zhiyue, father and son, were washing themselves.
Liu Changqing, who had already washed his face, was wiping his face with a towel, while Liu Zhiyue, who had just finished brushing his teeth at the sink, put down the wash cup in his hand.
Looking at his father wiping his face with a towel, after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke without giving up.
"Dad, actually it's okay for me to go by myself. There's no need to send me to the examination room."
"Isn't the school you were assigned to the examination center quite far away? It takes more than half an hour by electric bike, and it only takes ten minutes to drive there."
Hanging the towel on his hand at the original place, Liu Changqing responded.
Then he walked out of the bathroom, urging him before going out.
"Hurry up and pack up. After washing, go find a breakfast shop to have something to eat."
"..."
Looking at his father's leaving figure, Liu Zhiyue pondered for a while, and then turned on the faucet and washed his face after being stunned for a while.
The preparation didn't take long. When it was close to 7:15, the father and son had already packed up and were ready to go out.
Before going out, Liu Changqing specifically asked his son.
They had brought all the necessities such as admission tickets and exam tools. After making sure they had the admission tickets on them, the father and son pushed open the door and walked out.
When the two came to the parking lot, they opened the door and got in the car.
Only then did the son sitting in the passenger seat speak.
"In a moment...can you pick up Zhou Shiyan? She is in the same examination room as me."
Liu Changqing, who was about to start the car, was a little stunned when he heard this sentence and glanced at his son sideways.
His head was lowered, and his voice when he said this was much lower than usual.
Seeing his son's somewhat awkward look, Liu Changqing suddenly felt like laughing after he realized what he was doing.
He spoke jokingly.
"No wonder, when I said I would take you to the examination room, you insisted on not asking me to take you there. But after a long time, it turned out that you had made an appointment with someone else."
"I happened to be assigned to a test center, so..."
"Alas... my son has grown up too."
"..."
After seeing his son remain silent, Liu Changqing looked away from his face, then started the car, put it into gear, turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking space.
He drove to the place where Zhou Shiyan lived.
Probably because he had made an appointment in advance, when Liu Changqing lowered his speed and was about to turn in, he saw Zhou Shiyan at the intersection.
When she saw Liu Changqing driving over, Zhou Shiyan was a little surprised but didn't say much. She thanked him and opened the back seat and got into the car.
Out of concern, Liu Changqing also asked her if she had brought everything. After checking on the spot, she made sure that all the important things were there.
Only then did I feel relieved.
Liu Changqing is also someone who has experienced the high school entrance examination. Of course, he talked about a lot of things to pay attention to during the exam along the way.
For example……
Don't drink too much water to avoid having to urinate urgently during the exam. Don't overeat when eating. What to do if you get nervous and have a stomachache? He talked about a lot of precautions and didn't stop until he came to a breakfast shop.
.
Entering the store, Liu Changqing didn't ask for much.
After asking the two of them what they wanted to drink, they ordered two portions of eight-treasure porridge according to their preferences, and also ordered two cages of vermicelli buns, two cages of steamed dumplings, plus three braised eggs and fried dough sticks.
I ordered a soy milk.
After all the packages were put together, Liu Changqing had just started to pick one up with chopsticks when he suddenly saw Zhou Shiyan getting up and bringing a few small plates over. Then she reached for the vinegar on the table and poured some. Then she opened the chili jar and dug it out.
Put a little into a small dish.
It's nothing noteworthy, most people do it while eating breakfast.
But what made Liu Changqing feel a little strange was that after Zhou Shiyan finished it, she placed the small plate in front of her son.
And said something very quietly.
"Eat."
"..."
After hearing her words, Liu Zhiyue obviously didn't know what to say. When he subconsciously looked at his father, he found that his father was also looking at him.
The eyes of father and son met at this moment.
One second, two seconds...
Liu Changqing narrowed his eyes.
First he looked at his son sitting opposite him, and then at Zhou Shiyan sitting next to him...
Why so skilled?
How many times has she... prepared jealous dishes for her son?
After taking a bite of the vermicelli bun, Liu Changqing looked at his son who was drinking eight-treasure porridge with his head down and chewing in his mouth.
After swallowing the thing, he suddenly asked.
"You two are not going to fall in love, are you?"
"Cough cough cough!"
After hearing his father's words, Liu Zhiyue, who was drinking porridge, was suddenly startled.
Almost choked.
After seeing him like this, Zhou Shiyan immediately reached out and patted his back.
Looking at the scene in front of me, the more I looked at Liu Changqing, a father, the more I felt something was not right.
I always feel...these two children are like an old married couple.
"Dad, we don't have any!"
"Uncle Liu."
The two of them said something to each other, and after saying that, Zhou Shiyan took away the hand that was patting Liu Zhiyue's back, her little face still looked serious.
Looking at Liu Changqing opposite, he said.
"We have agreed that we will only be friends until we reach adulthood and will not go further."
"That means...it's enough after graduating from high school?"
"Um."
"..."
After listening to this girl's words, Liu Changqing fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and pretended to be taking out his wallet, mumbling as he did so.
"How much should I prepare for my daughter-in-law?"
"dad!"
"Hahaha, I'm not kidding you!"
The hand holding the wallet was taken away, and Liu Changqing's face showed a smile, looking at the two children in front of him.
Seeing the two people sitting next to each other, Liu Changqing suddenly felt a little emotional.
Perhaps... this kind of knowing, knowing what the other person means with just one movement or one look, is the purest feeling.
Thinking of this in his heart, for some reason, Liu Changqing's smiling expression just now suddenly stiffened.
He looked at the two children in front of him and couldn't help thinking.
If... I had come here more than ten years earlier...
I think I and An Yuanyao will be like this too.
They have been together since they were young...
Looking at the table, Liu Changqing sighed. He suddenly felt a little greedy.
Obviously life like this is very happy, but why... I always feel a little regretful...
After being silent for a while, Liu Changqing regained his energy and smiled at the two children in front of him.
