The car stopped at the door and Shen Xue said: "I'm home. Thank you, Mr. Shen."
"You're welcome, it's just a small matter." Shen Zhifeng said.
"It took you so long to see me off. Your wife must be anxious."
"No matter how late I go back, she won't be anxious."
"Why?"
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "Because I don't have a wife."
Shen Xue was surprised at first, then a strange look appeared on her face and said, "Where is your wife?"
"If you're not married, how can you get a wife?"
"You're not married yet?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing...how old are you?"
"Actual age is 33. Classmate Shen, you are the second person to ask me my age tonight." Shen Zhifeng said jokingly.
Shen Xue suddenly didn't hear Shen Zhifeng's last sentence and said to herself: "33 years old, 18 years old..."
"Classmate Shen, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? Nothing..."
There was a hint of panic on Shen Xue's face. She was about to open the door and get out of the car in a hurry. She thought for a moment and said, "Can you find a home?"
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "You taught me all the way. If I still can't find a home like this, I might as well lose myself to avoid embarrassment!"
"You are a great hero, how could you be so embarrassed?" Shen Xue whispered.
Shen Zhifeng laughed and said: "You can't even find your home, how can there be such a great hero?"
"You are a foreigner. You will be fine after a while... Oh, by the way, I guessed your occupation!"
"Then tell me, what do I do?"
"Um...soldier!"
"Why a soldier?"
"You are so good at fighting the thief with three punches and two kicks. You must be a soldier! Am I right?"
"Roughly the same!"
"Yes, that's right, it's almost the same..."
The courtyard door creaked, and a middle-aged woman walked out holding an umbrella and a flashlight in her hand.
"My mother." Shen Xue said to Shen Zhifeng.
Shen Zhifeng said: "You must be anxious, get out of the car quickly."
"Goodbye, Mr. Shen."
"goodbye."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you!"
"All right……"
Shen Xue carried the piano case on her back, pushed the door open and got out of the car, quickly came to the woman and said, "Mom, I'm back!"
Shen Xueniang looked at her daughter lovingly and complained: "Xue'er, you said that you have to go to rehearse so late, your father and I are worried!"
"I'm home safely, right? There's nothing to be afraid of..."
"Who sent you back?"
"yes……"
Shen Xue suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran to the car again, saying, "Mr. Shen, are you free on Saturday? We have a performance in the school auditorium at six o'clock in the evening. You must come then!"
Although her daughter braved the heavy rain, her mother naturally felt distressed and hurriedly followed her, holding an umbrella for Shen Xue.
Shen Zhifeng nodded to Shen Xueniang, and then said to Shen Xue: "Okay, as long as I have time, I will definitely go!"
"No! You have to promise me!"
"this……"
"I'm begging you, I'm the lead singer that day, just think of it as cheering up a friend."
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said, "Are we friends?"
Shen Xue said: "Of course!"
Shen Zhifeng thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay! I promise you!"
Sunday is a public holiday, so there should be nothing to do on Saturday night. The most important thing is that Shen Zhifeng likes chatting with this young girl and feels that he has become full of vitality!
"Then it's settled, no regrets!" Shen Xue said cheerfully.
"No regrets!"
Shen Zhifeng rolled up the window and pressed the horn. The car rushed into the heavy rain and drove towards Xinmin Road.
Watching the car go away, Shen Xue was in a daze. Shen Xueniang said doubtfully: "Xue'er, who is this person?"
Shen Xue sighed lightly, immersed in fantasy, and murmured: "He is a great hero!"
Shen Xueniang was someone who had been here before. When she saw her daughter looking like a nymphomaniac, she suddenly felt wary and said, "Xue'er, what's wrong with you? What does he do? How do you know each other?"
"Oh, mother, you asked so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?"
"What's his name?"
"Another new question."
"Tell me?"
"His surname is Shen, what is his name...I forgot to ask!"
"You don't even know his name, how dare you take his car? Xue'er, you don't let me worry so much!"
"Mom, Mr. Shen is a good man. I told you that he even helped me carry my luggage at the train station."
"Xue'er, tell me the truth, do you like him?"
"No……"
The two mothers talked all the way into the yard.
Back in the house, Shen Xue went from room to room and said, "Mom, where is my father?"
"I went to pick you up from school."
"I told you, don't go to school to pick me up. If your classmates see you, they will laugh at me again!"
Shen Xueniang sighed, sat down slowly, and said: "If you don't raise a child, you don't know the kindness of your parents. Besides, you are a girl. It's so late. How can your father not miss you?"
Shen Xue sat in silence for a while, then picked up her umbrella and started to walk out.
"Where are you going again?" Shen Xueniang stopped her daughter.
"I'm going to find my dad."
"You go find your father. When your father comes back and sees that you are not at home, then he goes out to look for you! ...Don't go, he will be back soon."
Shen Xue put down her umbrella, opened the large upside-down bowl on the table, and said, "Mom, what are you cooking for something delicious?"
"Stir-fried fish." Shen Xueniang stood up and went to get the bowl and chopsticks.
Shen Xue stretched out her hand and pinched a piece of braised fish, raised it high and put it into her mouth. She hummed with satisfaction and said, "I love eating the braised fish made by my mother the most!"
"I've been quick to talk since I was little. Now that I'm a big girl, I don't even think about changing it."
"It's said in the book that a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. I can't change it even if I want to!"
"You always make sense!"
Shen Xueniang sat opposite, looking at her daughter eating with loving eyes, and said: "Xue'er, mother, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?"
"Next month, your cousin will come to Yanjin."
Shen Xue took a mouthful of rice and said vaguely: "Which cousin?"
"Zhenhua from my aunt's family."
"Auntie's house... Ergouzi?"
"When we meet, don't bark randomly. Ergouzi is a nickname, but now he is called Zhenhua!"
"What is he here for?"
"Xue'er, you are no longer young. You and Zhenhua's childhood sweethearts..."
"etc!"
Shen Xue stopped her chopsticks, frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I understand...Mom, are you planning to let me marry my cousin?"
"Yes, as the saying goes, it's great to be close to cousins. You two are a perfect match!"
Shen Xue put down her bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said with an unhappy face, "I won't marry!"
"Why don't you get married?"
"I'm still studying, so there's no need to worry about getting married."
"Zhenhua said that the main reason for coming to Yanjin this time is to finalize the marriage. If you are willing to study, he will not stop you! Look, this kid is so open-minded!"
"Enlightened, I don't know a word of Chinese characters, so I can't tell how enlightened he is. Anyway, I won't marry!" Shen Xue muttered in a low voice.
Shen Xueniang looked at her daughter for a while, her face became serious, and she said: "Okay, if you don't want to marry Zhenhua, my mother will agree with you. But, Xue'er, please remember that girls from my Shen family must not marry anyone else. Go be a second roommate!”
Shen Xue said in surprise: "Mom, what are you talking about? Who should I be as a second wife?"
Shen Xueniang sighed, looked into her daughter's eyes, and said earnestly: "You were raised by me, do I not know what you are thinking?"
"I, what did I think?"
"Just now, the way you looked at Mr. Shen, I felt something was wrong!"
"How can there be..."
"Be tough!"
"He is single, where did he get a second wife..." Shen Xue's voice became lower and lower.
Shen Xueniang said: "Single? How old is he?"
"Actual age is 33." After saying this, Shen Xue smiled and added: "You are the third person to ask his age tonight!"
"You're 33 and haven't started a family yet?"
"Mr. Shen said that."
"If he dares to say it, do you dare to believe it? Well, even if he is single, you are 18 years old and he is 33 years old. There is a gap of more than ten years in between. What is this?" Shen Xueniang stamped her feet and beat her chest, non-stop. Sighing.
Shen Xue sat blankly for a while, then stood up and came to her mother's side, saying, "Mom, don't be angry. He and I just met. It's not what you think. I don't know yet what he thinks..."
At the train station, Shen Zhifeng's elegant gentlemanly demeanor and polite manners left a deep impression on Shen Xue.
Especially tonight, Shen Zhifeng showed no fear in the face of the villain, and beat the two guys away with an umbrella. This made Shen Xue, who was just in love, fall deeply in love with him!
For a girl who is new to the world, the Prince Charming in her heart is basically like this!
