Fall asleep

Pei Shiyin: "Okay, I'll get someone to deliver the key to you later."

Xu Ran hummed, and handed the suitcase to the person who picked her up: "Have you packed your things at home? Is there anything you can't see? What kind of photo postcards? There's a cabinet in the study."

The other end said directly: "I hung up."

After hearing this, Xu Ran let out a laugh that didn't fit her temperament: "Okay, but what about Su Mian? When will you be back?"

"Friday." The other side said, "She asked if you are free for dinner on Friday night."

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows: "There must be, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Pei Shiyin hummed: "I'll let my aunt go over later, tell her which room you want to live in, and she will clean it up for you."

Xu Ran: "Okay."

Xu Ran hasn't returned to China for more than half a year. Now she and Pei Shiyin's father are living in England. Pei Shiyin's father still has some business on hand and often travels around.

Xu Ran used to be a teacher at University A. After Pei Shiyin graduated from high school, she resigned and her family went to England.

Their husband and wife only had one daughter, Pei Shiyin. Although she was raised by her side since she was young, and Xu Ran was often clingy, she did not raise Pei Shiyin's temperament too delicately, on the contrary, she was very responsible.

After Xu Ran arrived home, her aunt had already arrived and delivered the keys. She chatted with her aunt casually, and then began to arrange her life for the next few days.

I made an appointment with a few teachers who used to take classes together in University A, and a few old friends. It was full and unambiguous.

After two days of enrichment, her baby girl finally came back.

When Pei Shiyin opened the door, she was not surprised to see Xu Ran who had put on delicate makeup. The keys were hung on the wall, and she asked, "Going out soon?"

Xu Ran took small steps to the door of the house and made a gesture of welcoming her daughter home.

"Let's go out in half an hour," Xu Ran looked at her with a smile: "Mom, are these earrings pretty?"

Pei Shiyin changed her shoes, looked up at a small emerald green butterfly under her earlobe, and asked, "What clothes do you wear?"

Xu Ran said: "It's the cheongsam tea party at noon, and I'm wearing light green."

Pei Shiyin nodded: "It's okay."

Xu Ran raised her eyebrows and stepped aside to let Pei Shiyin in.

"Mom has a pipa performance in the afternoon, do you want to come and see it?"

Pei Shiyin: "No."

Xu Ran just mentioned it casually, and when she saw Pei Shiyin went upstairs, she went back to her room, changed into the cheongsam she had prepared, and chatted with her friends in the group for a while.

When she came out, Pei Shiyin had already gone downstairs, she was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and there was still a cup of hot coffee on the tea table.

Hearing the movement, Pei Shiyin shook her head and glanced at Xu Ran, then lowered her head and continued to read.

"Are you leaving?" Pei Shiyin asked her.

Xu Ran nodded, took out the mirror and lipstick from the bag: "The car is outside."

Pei Shiyin hummed.

Xu Ran hadn't put on her lipstick yet, when she thought of something, she suddenly let out an ah, and looked down at the person sitting on the sofa: "By the way, I seem to have heard some gossip these two days."

Pei Shiyin hummed perfunctorily, sounding very disinterested.

"About Su Mian."

Pei Shiyin raised her head.

Xu Ran asked: "Do you know Zhang Qian?"

Pei Shiyin frowned slightly, as if trying to cover up something, she lowered her head and continued to look at the text at hand.

Pei Shiyin: "Su Mian's senior."

Xu Ran replied with a very long answer: "Senior."

Pei Shiyin didn't speak.

Xu Ran suddenly smiled: "I don't think you're doing well. I've been chasing you for four or five years, but there's no result."

Pei Shiyin still didn't speak.

Xu Ran continued: "That Zhang Qian, how long have you been chasing Su Mian? There's a lot of rumors about their research institute, and I'm almost getting married."

Pei Shiyin turned a page of the book.

Xu Ran: "I heard that the kid is quite handsome."

Pei Shiyin finally raised her head: "Isn't the car outside?"

Xu Ran smiled and covered the lipstick, and threw it into the bag together with the mirror.

She didn't intend to continue, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the book Pei Shiyin was reading.

"Biological mechanism of protein synthesis." Xu Ran read out the words in the book with a strange enough voice: "He is very hardworking and eager to learn. Master of Finance."

Pei Shiyin sighed softly, closed the book directly, and looked up at Xu Ran: "Mom, do you have anything else to do?"

Chapter 14

Xu Ran was not in a hurry at all this time, and even tidied up her skirt very gracefully, sat on the sofa next to Pei Shiyin, brushed her hair with interest, and then picked up Pei Shiyin with interest. took a sip of coffee.

The collision of coffee and coffee table made a crisp sound, and the living room seemed to be quieter.

Pei Shiyin looked down at the lipstick mark on the coffee cup, and asked irrelevantly, "Is it bitter?"

Xu Ran frowned and licked his lower lip lightly: "No sugar?"

Pei Shiyin: "No."

Xu Ran made a disgusted voice.

Pei Shiyin: "You have something to tell me?"

Xu Ran smiled: "It's rare to meet, and Su Mian was mentioned again, let's talk."

Pei Shiyin hummed, but sat down seriously.

Xu Ran said: "Leave aside this Zhang Qian, Su Mian is so good and good-looking, and now he is at this age, what do you think?"

Pei Shiyin set her eyes on the book just now: "I didn't think much about it."
