The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 228 Ending
"Oh..." Lin Xiaoya didn't know what to say, after a brief silence on the phone, Su Shaoxuan said, "Lin Xiaoya, today I met someone who looks very much like you."

"Where is it like?"

"They all look alike."

"And then? Are you thinking in your heart, how can I meet such a person even on a business trip? It's really sad. "

Su Shaoxuan laughed harder: "No, I find it cute and awkward."

"Forget it, ghosts believe it."

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"Follow me, follow me."

They talked on the phone for more than 20 minutes, and the topic was very trivial, and they talked about trivial matters, as plain as running water, but because there was no quarrel or sarcasm, Lin Xiaoya found it strange.She said, "Su Shaoxuan, do you think tonight is strange?"

"What's so strange? Comet Halley hit the earth?"

"Tch," Lin Xiaoya scoffed at him, "It's even weirder than hitting the earth with your head."

"I think it's okay, not very strange."

"Ah."

They continued to bicker, even bringing up the topic of whether cats eat grass or not.Lin Xiaoya didn't feel anything when she was on the phone, and when she hung up, she wondered how she could be so idle.

Most likely, she ate too much at the engagement ceremony just now, Lin Xiaoya thought as she lay on the bed and looked at the soft moonlight outside the window.

Lin Xiaoya slept deeply that night and had no dreams.When she woke up the next day, she felt refreshed. After getting up in the morning, she didn't bother to make porridge with preserved egg and lean meat, fried eggs, and she had an appetite when she ate them.

When Lin Xiaoya was in a meeting, Qin Baoran called, but she pressed it down.Soon she sent a text message, which said: Are you in a meeting?Or is there something else urgent?No matter, I don't spit.Xiaoya, when I woke up this morning and saw the ring on my hand, I realized that I was actually engaged! ! !I'm engaged! ! !
There are six big exclamation points in total, Lin Xiaoya couldn't help laughing, and replied: Well, you are engaged, congratulations to the bride-to-be.

Qin Baoran came back quickly: Don't talk, I'm going to cook.Hey, I have to look like a prospective housewife after all, right?

Yep.

Lin Xiaoya put away her mobile phone, just in time for the meeting to end.

Since last night, she and Su Shaoxuan will have a phone call every night.At first it was Su Shaoxuan who called, and then Lin Xiaoya called.This state has been maintained until the day before Su Shaoxuan came back from a business trip, even Lin Xiaoya herself finds it inconceivable.They are like the British, first they say that the weather here is good today, and the weather here is also good, and then they are like the Chinese, saying have you had dinner and lunch, what did you eat, and then they say what you did today , what happened to me today.Maybe sometimes the conversation will be very short, and often hang up after a few minutes, but there is a call after all.

There is always a big difference between having and not having.This is like human clothes, no matter how much or how little cloth it is, but when worn on the body, it can conceal shame and beautify the eyes, but not vice versa.

On the night when Su Shaoxuan came back, when Lin Xiaoya hung up the phone, through the reflection of the window glass, she saw the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and was immediately soured by her expression, so she quickly put the corners of her mouth down again.

The next day, Lin Xiaoya was at work when she suddenly received a call from Lin's mother.

Things were unexpected, and Lin Xiaoya was caught off guard.

On the phone, Mother Lin's voice came intermittently: "Xiaoya, your dad...he just had a heart attack...he..."

The mother's voice was choked up badly, and she couldn't even speak coherently. She just kept saying "he", and couldn't continue at all.

Lin Xiaoya froze completely.

She had a hard time convincing herself of the truth, so she hurried off and staggered to the parking lot.Lin Xiaoya only felt her heart being clenched, and her hands trembled slightly when she opened the door.

Just as she got into the car, Lin Xiaoya immediately called Su Shaoxuan.

She didn't know why she did it, she just felt like hearing someone else talk.

The phone was picked up quickly, Su Shaoxuan's voice was very calm, he asked: "Where are you?"

Lin Xiaoya didn't know what she was doing at all, she just answered instinctively: "It's downstairs in the company."

He replied quickly: "Okay, I'm near your company, don't move, I'll pick you up."

Lin Xiaoya choked up and said, "Okay."

She didn't even have the time to think about why Su Shaoxuan was near her company and why he wanted to pick her up.She just knew to answer by intuition.

Su Shaoxuan paused, and his voice suddenly softened: "Xiaoya, don't worry."

"……it is good."

"Are you in the company lobby?"

Lin Xiaoya's voice trembled violently: "I'm in the car."

"Xiaoya."

"Ah."

Su Shaoxuan's voice was exceptionally gentle: "Cry if you want to."

His words rang in his ears, and Lin Xiaoya suddenly felt much more at ease.She seemed to be really infected by these words, and she took off her hand covering her mouth, and burst into tears for a while.

Su Shaoxuan didn't hang up the phone until he got downstairs to her company.He helped her out of the car, put one arm around her waist, and patted her on the back with the other.He spoke softly and comforted in a low voice.Lin Xiaoya didn't want to take care of anything, her face was full of tears, and she was extremely embarrassed. She grabbed Su Shaoxuan's sleeve and felt her whole body go limp and lose strength.

Sitting in the car home, Su Shaoxuan tightly grasped Lin Xiaoya's hand, wrapped her shoulders and brought him towards him, he whispered comforting words, his kiss fell on her hair, Lin Xiaoya felt like It was a vine, and at this moment, it finally found a direction to cling to.

Lin Xiaoya kept crying, but still insisted on saying intermittently: "When I was young, I was very afraid of my dad. I remember that when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, I made a mistake in my math homework, and he asked me to rewrite the homework and write it in the diary again. Write down what I did wrong in the notebook. He checks it every day when he comes back from work. Annoy him and blame him."

"Later, when I was in high school, I was under a lot of study pressure. Every time I went back and complained to my mother, my father always said that only a harsh environment can make you grow up. Survival of the fittest is the law of the world. He said this sentence many times, and He didn’t comfort me, but always said this sentence, I was very disgusted at the time, and felt that he was not as considerate of his daughter as other fathers.”

"But later, when I applied for a major after the college entrance examination, I wanted to apply for a school far away from home, but my mother disagreed, and I was cold-hearted for two days until the day of applying for the exam. My dad supported me very much, saying that my daughter It’s okay for the child to go out and run around. Later, I applied to that school. At that time, I thought he seemed to be very good. When I was in college, I called back every week, and my mother was the one who answered, and my father was listening So, my mother asked him to talk, and he said he had nothing to say. Then when he went to work, he taught me how to be a man and how to do things. I was going to go to the antique shop to buy him a gift in two days, and he was going to celebrate his birthday. But he just left like that, just like that..."

Lin Xiaoya cried a lot, and her words were very incomplete. Sometimes she repeated a word three times, and in the end she couldn't even breathe, her chest was so tight.Su Shaoxuan stroked her back over and over again, whispering softly, whenever she paused, he would always answer.Su Shaoxuan gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, Lin Xiaoya felt that he had never been so patient and meticulous.

They rushed back, Lin Xiaoya cheered up and comforted the grieving mother with Su Shaoxuan.When sorting out Father Lin's belongings, Lin Xiaoya saw many photos of her and Father Lin together, so she burst into tears again.At the beginning, Su Shaoxuan gently wiped her with a tissue, but Lin Xiaoya wiped away more and more tears. Su Shaoxuan sighed, hugged her in his arms, and let her tears wet his clothes.

On the day Lin's father was cremated, Lin Xiaoya looked extraordinarily calm on the outside. She didn't cry anymore, but her expression was indifferent.When relatives came to comfort or mourn, Lin Xiaoya helped her mother to answer in an orderly manner. She stood still in one position until her whole body was stiff and sore.

When going to the cemetery, Su Shaoxuan accompanied her, bowed, presented flowers, and mourned.Lin Xiaoya is busy these days, but she often can't sleep at night, Su Shaoxuan is by her side, Lin Xiaoya tosses and turns at night, Su Shaoxuan holds her in his arms, comforts her softly, Lin Xiaoya's mind is often blank, she doesn't chew a word Su Shaoxuan said, but listens His voice, she can fall into a deep sleep.These days, Lin Xiaoya was so busy that she was haggard, and Su Shaoxuan also lost weight.

They stayed at home for half a month, and Mother Lin's spirit gradually improved.Before leaving, Mother Lin said to Lin Xiaoya very calmly: "Two days before your father left, he discussed with me whether to travel abroad, but he still had no chance to go. Xiaoya, when you and Su Shaoxuan came back , Although it looks good on the surface, your dad and I can see that you two are having conflicts. Over the years, although your dad and I have often quarreled, I understand in my heart that neither of us can do without the other. He Now I’m gone, I went there, although I’m sad, but he didn’t feel bad when he went there, people can’t be resurrected after death, I accept the reality. But I was still thinking about it last night, in fact, I still have a lot of things that I haven’t said to him.”

"I used to think that I still have a lot of time to talk to him, so I'm not in a hurry. But now I know that people are not as good as God. When I want to say, he can't hear. Xiaoya, you and Su Shaoxuan’s conflicts can be boiled down to a lack of communication. Sitting together, talking once is better than bickering for a long time. Although quarrels are not good, one quarrel is more effective than a month’s cold war. Everyone understands these principles, but put I completely forgot about myself. Su Shaoxuan treated you very well, I could tell. When he first came to see me, his tone of voice and his usual behavior were very restrained, and he was smiling when he talked about you. Encourage him, in fact, I can see that although he said it is difficult, but I look at his eyes, he is bound to get everything he likes."

"Xiaoya, you have an awkward temper. You have been like this since you were a child, but even if your nature is hard to change, at least you can improve it. Later, you dated, but you didn't tell me. I didn't know until so late, which made me wonder what happened. In fact, I know what you are thinking. You are afraid that this relationship will be a shooting star, and it will be gone in a flash. But you know how Xiaoxuan treats you. I am not talking to him, Xiaoxuan he Although it seems that everything is under control at ordinary times, but if you always let him sing a one-man show, he will be exhausted."

"You got married in a hurry, but in fact we still have confidence in you after marriage. You form a family, but you can't treat it as a play. I think, if you get along slowly, maybe it will be fine. But later, But you live apart. You don’t tell, Su Shaoxuan doesn’t tell, but your dad and I both know about it. I called the landline, that was on purpose. I called you and Su Shaoxuan back separately, in fact, to create an opportunity for you. "

"In the past few days, I've been watching. In fact, it's pretty good for you now. In fact, Xiaoxuan came back by himself during the Cold War. I saw that he lost a lot of weight and his spirit was not good. He said that you have been more He was busy, so he didn't have time to see us. He played a few games of chess with your father and left. Before leaving, he told us to take good care of our body. You don't remember him when he was a child, but I remember it very clearly. When you couldn't walk, he always ran to our house and pretended to feed you milk powder. Later you can walk, and your father and I are not at home, sometimes entrusting you to the Su family, when I come back You can always see him walking by pulling your little arm. Sometimes you fall down, cry loudly, and bite people, and a child as young as he knows how to endure it, and even coaxes you."

"Xiaoya, I have said so much. Actually, there is nothing else. I just hope that you will be well. You are all adults, and some things are not on your lips all the time, but you can experience them with your heart. Your quarrels are quarrels, but Don't leave your heart, that's enough."

Lin Xiaoya nodded and said, "I understand. Mom, take good care of yourself. I'll be back to see you in two days."

They drove back in the afternoon, and every day was uneventful, with little turmoil.After two months, Lin Xiaoya's mood was completely calm. She went to her father's cemetery, bowed deeply, and then went down the mountain with Su Shaoxuan.

On the highway, Su Shaoxuan suddenly said: "The time you went home, what did your mother say to you? We talked for so long."

Lin Xiaoya looked at him sideways and said, "How do you still remember?"

"My first question."

"I won't tell you."

"It's not easy to say, but you can think about it."

"What do you want?"

Su Shaoxuan made a pun: "I want to get your mind."

His "de" sound was vague, and there was no way to tell the difference between the first and the second sound. Lin Xiaoya didn't know the real meaning of his words, so she "hummed" and said, "Pretending."

Su Shaoxuan smiled lightly and didn't speak.

Lin Xiaoya said: "Actually, I was just thinking about why you have so many faces. You are one person in front of my mother, another in your company, and another in front of me."

Su Shaoxuan smiled lightly, but his tone was very serious: "But none of them will pose a threat to you."

Lin Xiaoya was taken aback, and said, "Just now my mother told me that you went back when we were in the Cold War."

Su Shaoxuan concentrated on driving, and answered after a while: "Yes."

"Filial son."

"Thank you."

The two of them stopped talking, and the car was silent for a long time, when Su Shaoxuan suddenly called her: "Lin Xiaoya."

"Ah."

"Move back to the original house."

"……why?"

"Why do you say?"

"how could I know."

"Don't play tricks, move in together tomorrow."

Lin Xiaoya squinted her eyes at him: "Are you so sure that I will move back?"

Su Shaoxuan turned his head slightly, and smiled at her maliciously: "You are so old, who else would want you but me?"

Lin Xiaoya pulled his face, gritted her teeth and said, "Can you tell me again?"

Su Shaoxuan's face was pulled crookedly, but he still tried his best to maintain a light smile: "Why should I listen to you."

Lin Xiaoya withdrew her hand and said, "It's about to get off the highway, please pay attention to the road conditions."

"As ordered."
